the story begins somewhere far away from awareness and rational thought. our main characters plays the roles of lost but not aimless arrows of pictures. pictures made out of sub atomic movements, amplified through breathable air and finally fragmenting its energy into space. we see the the sun go down in the ocean, the purple and red colors and finally the majestic sight of whales plowing the water in the horizon. it has been many years, in fact, so many years that we are now back again to the same point time. it is like an infinite loop, never loosing pace and determination.

after the amazing view from above ep on frantic flowers we simply couldnt resist to do another project with this guy. detroit legend terrence dixon, the mastermind behind population one, is a genius in the field of minimalism and reduction. as a truly unique character from the early detroit techno era, always being true to his own style, this ep brings 4 new cuts in his typical and recognizable sound. minimalistic monotone rhythms and weird loop constructions, always with the right tension in place, sometimes topped off with spoken words. on the title track i program my computer right, a weird guitar loaded affair, terrence dixon is accompanied by ulandra & tiaria, supplying the vocals. again a very collectible release on frustrated funks harbour city sorrow!

>the fall of the empire< is a tough and unyielding release that continues both pfirter and mindtrip s run of form. >the fall of the empire is imminent< is raw, powerful and tightly wound. it holds an almost familiar sound, something that brings memories of techno from years gone by, but with the added depth, intricacy and attention to details that juan pablo pfirter lends to all his productions. markus suckut remixes on mt-02 and brings his stripped sound to his rework of >multiverse<. keeping things simplistic and functional, markus finds the groove, toying with bass throughout the track and letting the loop run for near seven minutes, gently tweaking fx and eq in the light-handed and tender manner he become known for.

adriatique is back with their second release on diynamic. again the two talented producers from switzerland created a really impressive ep that seems to fit just perfect for the upcoming summer! the opening track,deeper love, really sets the direction of the whole ep and will make you fall in love with it! a really nice and warm synthesizer combined with that catchy deeper love vocal and a funky picked guitar makes this tune unique. the second track by your side first of all persuades with that coltish sequenzer baseline. after the first break the tune unfolds its whole power. its again the nice combination of a deep, down pitched vocal, funky bended chords and a great synthie line that works just excellent together. a great one for the dancefloor! with motions, the third and title track of the new ep, adriatique deliver another harmonic tune that goes under the skin. its the slowest track on the ep. massive bass tones, groovy shuffled hihats and a deep, repetetive vocal loop result in a wonderful, warm track. the fourth and last track body moving brings the ep to an good end. with a nice vocoder voice the tune gets a touch of the 80s sound. and again a bouncy baseline delivers this special groove and guarantees to shake the floor.

special remarks: lp with double sided cover, limited to 500 pieces.

tone control return with house music vocal legend, robert owens for a steppin, bass led mantra for the dance floor. tone control bring in soulful house star, sean mccabe (king st., z records etc) on moog, rhodes and organ to complete starting with me . working the analogue delays, stuck on loop is a dark and serious dubbed out excursion. glaswegian producer, james johnston has been making big waves for vinyl loving, deep house heads recently (recent juno #2, regular top 5) - he turns in a heavy chorded, bumpin dub remix to complete this new single, the 12th release on tone control music.

inspired by the energy, the sunshine and the people on the white isle, olderic returns to bring the ibiza heat to area remote by going loco with the latino loop, letting it flow and widen across spicy rhythms and vocal melodies

two new suprawax releases by eduardo de la calle. the four tracks on offer here bear testimony to de la calles search for the perfect loop. they are hypnotic grooves, almost entirely devoid of arrangement in a classical sense. but the tracks are not static. they suck you in by means of constant modulations, build free flowing structures of their own, hints of peaks emerging at the mercy of the low frequency oscillators cleverly set phase relationships. these tracks do not need the in-your-face kick drums and squashed dynamics of the brickwall generation. by leaving space, they work on a different level than solely sound pressure emanated. the simple, repetitive structure coupled with the unhasty development find their way into the dancer’s brain. moving your mind—your ass to follow suit. all records have been pressed in a run of 400 copies and come in inside-out natural cardboard sleeves. no represses are planned at present.

with daughter & son on the b-side of the vinyl, the freiburg native presents a groovy, playful and impulsive sound that is guaranteed to let a summer feeling arise. set between classical techno and modern tech-house the title track daughter & son points consistently towards summer. patrick kunkel & dirk redmer refine their remix with a hypnotic bass line, but then let the track, with its dub elements and the choir parts, drift so incredibly beautiful into the sunrise, that one would wish for an infinite loop. the beach with its more playful harmony feeling and percussive gantry gives a first taste of the open-air season 2012.

vladislav delays ep >espoo< features two new conceptual, rhythm-intense tracks. whereas the groove of the opener >olari< derives from a sound loop which is manipulated by filters and echoes and finally brings forth the intensifying beat, the reverse is done with >kolari< on the b-side. starting from an impulsive, staccato beat, a sound carpet is woven by means of modifiers which gradually shape a permanent vacation-like melody, close to terry rileys minimalistic concepts. both tracks share a linear increase in density, and because of their break with the common four-four time, they create a certain folkloric atmosphere. like with >vantaa<, the experienced music producer vladislav delay continues his search for dance-floor compatible, yet unique and fresh music.

acid isnt trying to tell stories with his work. his aim is more holistic than that. mst extends the atmospherics past the dance floor, refracting the idiosyncrasies of our existence back into our everyday lives.

after the successfully aras startup from the label owners andre galluzzi and dana ruh we are now presenting a hot follow-up from our friend, well known hessian johannes heil. the a side consciousness is a massive 12 minute dancefloor killer starting with a nice synth loop and some heavy kicks. after nearly a half the track turns from a warm hypnotic break into a real peaktime monster. b side track pure starts a little bit deeper with sounds that let us yearn for the sun. a very nice package for the summer.

philpot finally presents reboot joy confession’,s album debut! after two fantastic 12inches for us in the last two years we decided it was time to collect all these fine tracks they presented to us, but weren t really 12inch single material.now, beautifully skit-connected, it all makes for one outstanding album, flawlessly fusing boombap, latin, jazz, psychedelica and raw house aesthetics and so much more!so, take some time out, make yourselves comfortable and let them put a spell on you!

loftsoul is the moniker of renowned dj uchikawa masahiko. he has been a dj for more than 25 years, and is deeply involved with the japanese nightclub scene since its early days. his borderless and genre-straddling playing style, from soul, jazz, dance classics, deep house, to techno tells of the impassioned music life of dj uchikawa masahiko. in addition to running regular parties at his club loft in nagano, (which has hosted djs such as joe claussell, jerome sydenham and glenn underground) and premier at loop, uchikawa has been recording tracks as loftsoul, and collaborating with pianist makoto kuriya as rhythm of elements. >soul inspiration< sees loftsouls continued collaboration with chicago house stalwart glenn underground alongside ricardo miranda aka the latin soul brothas. >soul inspiration< is a deliciously deep groove with trademark virtuoso piano for some esoteric soulful dance floor action. the b-side sees the latin soul brothas slow it down for them electronic soul of the moog mix. finally, dj uchikawa and hide koyama provide an essential dub.

this march the london based art editions and experimental electronics label we can elude control presents a new 12 inch by the sound artist and sculptor tom richards. through his custom built array of hardware richards has developed a tense percussive language, crafting immersive rhythmic compositions that explore aspects of structure, tonality and variance. his loop based patterns evoke a purist machine aesthetic reminiscent of a vintage analogue sensibility in collision with a super-modernist compositional approach and an exploration of post-techno ritualism. his production process focuses on a live improvised approach working across several custom made devices to built a rhythmic composite of interlaced tones and cyclical pulses.
including cd with live recordings by tom richards.

limited yellow coloured vinyl!
robosonic return in full effect with the stunning and beautiful >the sweetness<, after a brief hiatus with regards to original releases the berlin duo present this unique track to the masses via jackmode.
j phlip takes the remix duties head on with a great interpretation, the american dj and producer shows her flair for all things bass with a track drenched in low-end loveliness. a tough kick underpins a hypnotic loop that rolls out into a spacious breakdown. the final drop doesnt disappoint, big drums and dark percussion make this new version a surefire dancefloor work out.

the last record in wunderkind gerry reads trilogy of 12 inches arrives to round off the first stellar year for fourth wave. all by myself carelessly builds and chops through a dusty loop and brooding male vocal, like a inebriated bum woozily recalling all but forgotten nights dancing at the music box in the early 80s. continuing on the chicago theme, gerry cracks out a jazzy sample and clipped vocals on what a mess blending in his own unique style the unlikely bedfellows of disco house and drone. drone disco house, anybody?

as said in the info for dérive vol. 2 in 2010, haste makes waste. that in mind it does not surprise it took even more than a year for dérive to come up with vol. 3, but finally its there.a 1 björnski & a different jimi_9 to 5derive co-owner björnski opens up with his first release >9 to 5<, a collaboration with his partner-in-crime a different jimi. sharing a passion for deep house and jazz music, they produced this hypnotic eight minute track built around a jazzy piano loop that melts together with the bass line, surprising the listener with jimis saxophone solo. b1 achim maerz_haters gonna hate >haters gonna hate< comes from derives resident producer achim maerz who just released his first mini album >this is the end< on fine art recordings this summer. obviously it was just the beginning, as he comes up with a warm, deep and dubby yet still pushing track that lets you wanting the night to last forever. b2 tilman tausendfreund_with you the last track on this record is delivered by hamburgs latest talent, tilman tausendfreund. after releasing great solo tracks and coops with christopher rau (e.g. on contentismissing or hypercolour), on >with you< he chills it down to a funky 95 bpm, soulful sweet little something that works great both in your club and bedroom.

super strong 2 tracker, perfect dj stuff ! just listen

excellent 4 track vinyl with fantastic deep house. it gets started with >spring loop<, a track that looks to its name both for feeling and production sense. of course that sensuous vocal sample that gets drawn through it wouldnt do the job on its own, but rau knows that too and surrounds it with a warm, humid bassline and his always changing and snapping drums to keep it in the pocket for the whole 5 minutes. even though the groove on the a1 is already heavy for him, he goes deeper yet with >swearing (vinyl version)< that jamaican vocal is something so classic that we wont spoil it here, but the pumping house beat and piano stabs he winds around it give even more poignancy to the lyrical substance… we are pretty sure that by the time he finally echoes the vocal out late in the track there will be some hands in the air for this one

young marco is a gentleman from amsterdam. this is his first offering for the esp institute. it makes us smile and we are sure you will smile too. with his head in the clouds, marco blends soaring melodies that harmonize beautifully over loop-de-loops of bass lines and bleeps. his warm analogue aesthetic invites us to his daydream, a place of innocence where we can do no wrong, dancing eyes-closed as the sun rises somewhere outside. this is pure feel good dance music, no gimmicks, no pretense, just right.

>hold on< has been given the inimitable touch of deep house master marcus worgull. a classically trained musician like kabuki, he has stripped the track and used jennas vocals stabs to create a exquisite minimal groove to stunning effects. rising drum and bass star eveson has been given >generation x< to remix, and his <ode to a rave generation< is exactly what it is: keeping the haunting synth loop throughout, slowing the track down to finally go back to a rave-friendly 140 bpm with vintage breaks, and making the most of paul st hilaires colourful voice. the result is as awesome as skreams recent >burning up<.

just like different fishes can be found in different grounds, also the acoustic tales of the micronaut take place in different regions of the emotional landscape: sometimes warm, sometimes fresh – sometimes calm and stagnant, sometimes lively and floating. and just like all the fishes are connected by the water surrounding them, also this album has its connecting element: a very individual and independent groove. this groove comes with a lot of surprises. for instance, when a guitar chord from the acoustic band atmosphere of gruen- dling suddenly gets tangled up in a loop and introduces an unexpected but coherent change into the direction of broken, electronic beats. or when the emotional world music elements of schleie mix up with exciting halfstep rhythms. sophi- sticated arrangements, unusual instrumentations and intense emotions- these are the main attributes of friedfisch . though the experimental character of this work does not really aim the dance floor, it still keeps connected to this place: two sensitive remixes by mollono.bass represent the upbeat for an entire series, being exclusively released on vinyl.

music is about passion, not competition. in this spirit the something vinyl series continues again with another stl record in his diy do-what-you-wanna-do style, including 3 house tracks aswell as a astro-science thrilling farspace interlude and loop introductions. the ascetic elements on this ep are the result of an isolated one man musical universe, where the love and passion for sound research is perhaps the strongest driving force behind the machines output. a bit of squelchy mircowave-acid, some sunny analog sequences and someting that seems to come out of a lovely b-movie track, where humanoids moving death proof onto the dancefloor feeling addicted to the groove. something 18 is probably that kind of vinyl which can be enjoyed the most when the time has come to loose yourself and let things flow into the positive. this 12 inch comes in limited quantities of 500 copies and is dedicated to all believers of the something vibe.

the eraly years of a decade are good times for exploration, just like in 1993 when we (alex & sasa) first started working together. we rented a huge loft space on ave b & 2nd st. in the east village in manhattan. the winter was tough, we had 16 snow storms and due to a landlord who hated everybody, we had our heating turned off except for a few hours in the morning, sometimes not even that... the only way to stay warm was to wear hats, gloves and scarves the whole winter... but that was fine because nightlife was a lot of fun. there was a good club/party every night. right below where we lived was one of the best after hour clubs called >save the robots<. but one of my favourite parties was >sugar babes< which was at the cbgbs gallery space right next door to cbgbs, every monday night. the dj used to sample parts of the records he was mixing and then just play the loop of the sample and alongside was a drummer playing to it. it was really inspiring. so we wanted to go back to this idea of sound assembly and create a new series for us to work with called >skematics< its like a diagram or manual to help understand the interconnections between the odd parts we find and assemble, an imaginary manual for a new decade that has not been musically defined yet

a welcome return to dmx krew, simply one of the uks finest producers ! sounds like analord turned up to 11 ! ed dmx reminds us all hes still number one when it comes to beautiful, esoteric electronic music. still aimed squarely at the dancefloor, ed provides us with a really strong and, as always, diverse package with something for everyone...

another well produced reeko ep on planet rhythm. this is dark angry techno music that should be played only at loud volume. the title track >bad connection< is a raw nervous track on a somewhat slower pace that will definitely get people dancing. especially for all those raves that last until 7 in the morning this is one for the peak hours. >look at me< is a jumpy non 4/4 techno rhythm with cool effects and chords, the rising synth at the end of each loop is a nice look. >in a different world< and >restart< are both tracks that fit perfectly in this new prruk record. good producers know how to build an ep in a way that it feels like chronological soundtrack. reeko knows exactly how to do this.

panacustica’s fourth release is amongst cosmic metal mother’s finest work. “time is now” the track in question, defies definition by mastering a style on it’s own, by fusing elements echoing from prog-rock drenched with emotional content into an adult and contemporary way of delivering which is unique to the cmm writing style. the original is melancholic bliss. a vocal line at the center of the piece whispers words about oscar wilde and mr. death accompanied by a cello melody that grows bigger and bigger into an angelic cascade of notes. the track begins and ends in the most bare way with just a drum beat leaving you with the feeling you have just entered a loop where time is irrelevant. commodity place has the second cut of the a side. the duo from rome, known in the global underground of the vinyl tribes for their signature guitar style, chooses to call their mix “experience”, clearly paying homage to the gods of rock, delivering a guitar solo that will fire up your speakers and fill your eyes with the brightest psychedelic colors that we all so desperately need in this age of grey anonymity. the b-side is a full eight-minute mix by the man who needs no introduction and made us all dance since day one, larry heard, a.k.a. mr. fingers. his version is a fast “four to the floor” track, where a shaker drives the house beat into the melodic lines and voice borrowed from the original, making it one hundred per cent dance floor efficient with the modernity and mastery of his touch

there are few artists making great music full stop and keeping it tight and delivering quality each time they release music. kaiserdisco are definitely made in germany and a duo that therefore has the respect of the whole dance scene. kaiserdisco manage to pull off that contradictory trick, producing modern cutting edge tracks with a nevertheless timeless and classic feel.
>kuala< the a-side track is an ethno natured track with lively bassline and uplifting small melody stabs, smithereens of vocals and a superb drive. beneath all of this you find the kaiserdisco fx department works with every possible production skill to keep the seemingly never ending loop active and rocking. >kuala< is a firework of a rhythm monster!
for the more traditional kaiserdisco fan, you will find on the flipside with >singa< another powerful tool of a track. kaiserdisco keep a beat tight and introduce a lot of rising cool sounds building up lots of vertical hands up in the air energy!

vault series is a cheeky little series where rush hour drops never before released tracks and mixes from its vaults as well as tracks which are in dire need of a re-release.
the series kicks off with an unreleased track by the mysterious duster valentine. an anthemic disco track that, with its catchy piano loop, pays homage to the golden days of new york house music. music that will make you sweat!
on the other side we find aardvarcks fun-loving-freestyle-disco-mash-up-party-jam. its original release a few years ago saw support by many djs around the world. it was only released as a limited once sided promo. here is a chance for those who missed it to own a copy. this version is remastered and extended!

>rdjcs5<, a new 4-track 12-inch ep by solvent, is the result. this is suction022. each and every sound on this record came from rdj’s old cs5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by solvent over the course of several months. the limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge, but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synthnerdery, rdjcs5 speaks more of solvents musical kinship to thee analord. opening track >curtains< bears similarity to early rephlex signing bochum welt, while >radiator<, >mould<, and >tassels< each contain hallmarks of the classic afx sound. at the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably solvent. the 12 inch vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies, in brown chipboard sleeve with sticker, and also contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side b. entitled >sandpaper<, this cut will be individually hand-etched by solvent, for a 1-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience.

after the new album of jus-ed >vision dance< on mule electronic,jus-ed come back to mule with the follow up single >flight to tokyo<! >flight to tokyo< on a side is dark hypnotic house with female voice loop. >the machine< on b side is typical underground quality style deep house track.jus-ed is playing everywhere at the moment!!
