vizual - the brain and soul child of joshua iz - its even part of the name. after working with many of the most respected labels in underground dance music, including prescription, classic, om, guidance, diy, joshua fi,,nally felt it time to create his own imprint, hence vizual. drawing from a myriad of infl,,uences, from heavy jamaican dub to bleepy detroit techno, vizual seeks to develop new musical forms that bridge the gap between pure organic music and abstract electronic sound paintings, yet creating something danceable in the process.

untracked recordings had a killer year in 2009, and if this is any indication things are only going to get better for the vinyl only label in 2010. release eleven at the label is the incredible new all i ever wanted ep from rising star red rack em. the title track is straight beatdown, theo parrish esque stabs and rumbling sub bass underpin a low slung heavyweight, for the true underground connoisseurs. the track, however, thats had everyone freaking out is in love again. serious support from gilles peterson, and endless inquiries as to its release date has ensured this record wont be around for long. deep warm pads, an emotive vocal and beautiful detroit strings bring this straight to the heart of the matter. 300 copies only on 180 gram vinyl.
amazing! 1 track - 3 different versions. fantastic release by mr. nice guy toby dreher, a part of dreher and sm.art. with the original he delivers a fabulous symphony. agaric (raum/treibstoff/liebe*detail) builds up a wicked house tool and the greek import and.id (mobilee/ware) rocks our headphones with his slammin reinterpretation.

we are so proud to welcome the talented producer from chicago, kate simko, known for her great work on spectral. kate send us 2 amazing pieces of music... a-side, >lost in time<, made during a trip in argentina, shows the deep, intense and intimist sides of kate music. dark grooves lead by an amazing atmosfere made of pads, synths and keys... like dop said... they were in love with it, and wanted to remix it badly. on the b-side, the dop remix is a great reinterpretation of the track with a pop feeling, where jaw bring his vocals. another version of the remix, a really and special one will be released in 2010 on eklo. the second track gets in a more housey feeling, but still deep with famous kates rhodes/synthssounds, and a great toms hooks leading the track through her groovy organic and analogue rhythm.

a slammin release from style of eye with remixes by hipp e & troydon. the original is a bass heavy electro groove with tweaked out synths and a male reggae vocal. troydon trips things out even more on his mix, shuffling beats with his new minimal sound, along the lines of his phono shuffle release. hipp e is on fire again! a deep chugger with a big vocal breakdown.
after his big release on the clone loft supreme series, and great tracks on prime numbers and philpot mr dokes is back in the spot lights. here another intense three track ep with tracks that ll give you goose bumps all over. with his special way of programming, his dramatic strings and light piano play and shuffling house beats this is one of those artists with a special musical finger print that one recognizes out of thousands. a rare talent which puts more value on playing with his moods and emotions instead of aiming in straight dancefloor power. this 12 is building on what he started with the chicago pimp release... pure house tracks with a deep irresistible drive combined with joyful keys and seductive strings. some magic tracks from mr dokes!

brut! records baby sister label, pop!, sees its second release with popnonames spaces. an eclectic line-up, including joerg burger, freund der familie and paid for fame, remix the original three times over to offer a varied perspective of the same brave track. revving its engine, spaces drives you to experience things. it invites you to crack yourself open so that through that voluntary rift some new future might pour. bold, beautiful and formless it emerges, washed in a golden light. a baby nebula, perhaps if you are lucky, cradled in the spiral arms of a distant galaxy patiently building mass as it clumps gas and dust together. the important things often creep up silently recognized only once they are there, even though you had given them no shape in your mind prior to their arrival. space gives possibility to what these forms might be, boundless in four-dimensions. its that expanding medium that allows imagination to roam without end where the need to distinguish between what you know and invented evaporates and flows pure and clear as an ice cold stream.

split-ep by annie hall and plant43, delivering finest dark ambient soundscapes with an electroid influence.
after its first release rework closer moved bass cadets and techno heads alike, the label returns with some fearless offbeat pressure in round two. a side sun touch aint about cherishing the first sunshine in springtime rather like a fierce ray of light hitting you right in the eye, darkening everything for a moment. killer broken beats, rumbling subs and a gloomy atmosphere run the program until a nasty acid line takes over and funks things up even further. drain on the flip continues where closer (ams01) left off, the warm synth blanket this time appearing as a melancholic drone sequence over beats syncopated to the max. bonus cut untitled is the 2006 original of a tune bass music heads will be familiar with by now... beats from the machines, heartfelt lfod chords and arpeggiated bleeps round off this uncompromising twelve.

wayne gardiner the man responsible for the strictly rhythm classic logic >the warning< gets a release on soulfuric deep with remixes from brian tappert, christian hornbostel, tony v and ryan mishkin.
side a: features depth of my soul soulful and deep house blend in this down tempo jam. but slower bpms only add style and atmosphere to the track. side b: where is the compassion - the soulful component is still pretty strong yet. it designs a journey through feelings, typical of a warehouse rave. again echoes of a recent past, still very poignant. vibes reveals a more jazzy/boogie ambient. to many ears those vibes shared are not mysterious at all in the origin. still this is a very cool, current adaptation to the dancefloor. massive release!!
