to accompany the >best kept secrets 3< double cd, these 8 new exclusive tracks will also be released on proper double vinyl!

what?!? what?!? what?!? whats going on? the great new publication from beatamines (damm rec. , mbf) >what?!?<. oh yes, i tell you, there are 3 really fat parts on it. the original by betamines kicks your ass, the steve lischinsky remix kicking your feet and andy kohlmann (lordag, zylinder) guitar airs and graces kicks your brain. thats a good precondition for the 4th publication on mimique.

one of the stand out moments and most in demand club tracks from the simon baker >traces< album returns in remixed form, alongside the vinyl edit of simons original. its taken us a while to get pokerflat head honcho and all round german house music legend steve bug on board for a remix, but its worth the wait as he delivers a lesson in refined, deep house music. next up burnski and robert james deliver a mammoth, hypnotic jam that twists and turns for 10 minutes and still leaves you wanting more.

asrx deliver the first in a series of >random remixxes< for their >forthcoming ep<. original tracks by techno legend, steve stoll, and rising talent, dijj, are remixed to electronic perfection by detroits corbin davis (hej, detroit underground, asrx), argentinas luis ruiz (subsequent, planet rhythm, heaven to hell) and master producer / legend in the making, valvestat (asrx) from the uk. additionally, as a special treat, asrx presents for the first time, perc (legendary techno producer appearing on labels such as clr, kompakt, and drumcode) with a stunning rendition of dijjs original, >fin_droon< (asrx007). asrx008 >forthcoming ep< is truly a dark minimal masterpiece!

it has been a head-spinning couple of months for miracle. the new ldn/nyc synth-pop duo comprising singer daniel osullivan and synth overlord steve moore have released their debut ep on house anxiety (the big pink, zoo kid etc) to fevered critical acclaim, notably wowing the likes of wire, nme, dazed and confused and pitchfork in rare, uniting form. they then made their live debut with a series of shows with likeminds darkstar and blondes, before premiering their stunning debut video for the eps leviathan lead track >the visitor<, in the us via pitchfork and then in europe via dazed. now to tie a ribbon around this meteoric first chapter, they are releasing a limited edition double 12-inch vinyl ep, collecting together on physical release for the first time the comprehensive, dazzling selection of mixes and reworkings that >the visitor< was treated to.

emphasis recordings is proud to present the latest tang single, >bass synergy<! the title track continues in that chicago/detroit vibe that we all come to know from tang. it starts off with a bass heavy, industrial styled, drum programming before a pulsating bass comes riding along a funky melody. just when you think you got the beef of the track, things break down to rumbling arppegiated bass roll. then boom! both basslines and percussion come back in for the for the finish! did i mention theres strings?

young talented producer steve lorenz from italy combines his techno tracks with fusion basses and deep kicks that features cool grooves of industrial sounds in constant evolution. techno, detroit, minimal, dub are delivered with a depth and resonance of sound that is absolutely unique.

next up on tirk we have a brand new act, named free school. hailing from birmingham, shoegaze duo andy and steve bring the sunny balearic sounds of summer and the icy kosmiche sounds of winter all in one sweeping hit. free school are maximalist and minimalist all at once.
the band like to compare themselves to caribou, orbital, hot chip, fourtet, and pet shop boys, all pretty good touchstones in our eyes, however it was the sheer gloriousness of their music that had us hooked.
their debut ep features the uplifting and euphoric >ranting and raving< and the 9 minute sound-movie >lemon<. remixes come from richard norris and his time and space machine project (we are going to have to put this guy on the payroll soon) and russian ice cool customer sportloto. free school also appear live (in sheep masks no less) so watch out for them at a venue near you. their debut album is in the pipeline and already sounding good.

we are back for another slab of genre-defying, ass-kicking, booty-shaking, timeless underground beats. get the curse music 07 features two cuts from the mysterious crackboy and two remixes from rising star gesaffelstein & toronto’s james teej. the question of crackboy’,s identity is burning everyone’s lips. who’s hiding behind this oh-so poetic moniker? theories abound, and rumor has it crackboy was last seen smoking on his pipe in the filthiest dens of the parisian underbelly. efforts to trace him since then have proved fruitless and until the next sighting, the enigma remains.
in spite of all this mystery one fact is crystal clear: with early feedback from ed banger’s busy p reaching the same conclusion that crackboy’s productions are solid gold, this is an ep with substantial crossover potential that will put the whole scene on the same wavelength.

the berlin-based partnership of long-time friends steve bug and clé has reared many a classy deep house tune in its time… their classic silicon ballet ep from 2007 led us heavily into their sound, combining melodic, blissful elements with the heavy vibes of the old-school acid days. now were due another full ep with seven hills. the title track is a refined, long-playing stormer - perfect for the coming months as the summer weather stirs up open-air fever! from humble beginnings a riotous, epic track grows fusing the poker flat boys patented analog production and natural ear for a melody. heartfelt strings draw the track to its finale as a teasing breakdown arrives around the 6 minute mark. this is a real slow-burner in the best sense of the phrase. the more urgent monkeyshoulder drives a deep blazing night-time vibe all the way home. smooth, filtering chords and spacey stabs swirl in a magical futuristic-yet-classic house jam. simply deadly in the right moment, this bright and dynamic production really does justice to the pairs talents
