after the delectable and somewhat surprising first dishes served up on the schmorgasbord by appleblim & october and s-max & spatial in 2011, the label has been slow-cooking its next wares for maximum intensity of flavour, drafting in two chefs of wild international repute shunned from the michelin star regime and forced into renegade culinary exploits that use food (or music) as merely a vessel for their twisted science. al tourettes has zapped many a taste bud in his time, bastardising the fundamental ingredients of electro, funk and techno and marinating in a glutinous psychedelia as organic as it is mechanised.

highly limited acidic techno cuts from northern europe with a great chicago vibe...

mgun is the pseudonym of rising detroit star manuel gonzales. since collaborating with kyle hall as nsnt prjct in 2010, gonzales has developed a uniquely lo-fi sound all of his own, a sound first showcased on his debut solo release which appeared in 2012 on the wild oats imprint. his first release for don’t be afraid will hit stores in october 2012 and is bound to spin heads, demonstrating as it does his particular avant garde take on modern techno, not least the game changing ‘gas chamber’ cut which, at 138 bpm, sounds as at home in bow e3 london as it does in his native detroit.

magic feet are gaining momentum after the superb tommy awards ep, and welcome timothy j fairplay to the fold for their third release. fairplay is a rising star of the uk underground and recently opened proceedings on bird scarer, the new vinyl-only initiative from andrew weatherall, with the sprawling cosmiche flecked brilliance of >the final reel<, and has also contributed to the output of astrolab and world unknown. fairplay has little interest in making functional dance floor records and delivers four cutshere that plough a distinctly epic path through post 100bpm electronic music that is framed by both cinematic and musical references. limited to 300 hundred copies only.

bereits während der letzten drive-by truckers tour begann patterson hood am vorliegenden album zu arbeiten. ursprünglich hatte er geplant ein buch zu schreiben, dann stellte er aber schnell fest, dass die texte sehr an songformaten angelegt waren und sie sich nahtlos in seine musikalischen entwürfe einfügten. das album wurde in seiner heimatstadt athens/georgia aufgenommen, und er ließ sich dabei von fast der gesamten drive-by truckers crew musikalisch unterstützen. ein album für fans von wilco, neil young, alberta cross und natürlich drive-by truckers.

just in time for summer, pampa issued aimlessness, the long-awaited new album from dntel aka los angeles producer jimmy tamborello. his latest electronic suite brought forth stronger leanings toward house grooves, building upon the pop and idm approaches he explored earlier in his career as half of the postal service and a member of figurine - with a healthy dose of pampa otherworldliness on top. now, robag wruhme steps in and recontextualizes two aimlessness cuts for a remix ep. wruhme is already a beloved member of dj koze’s extended family, having released the full-length thora vukk about one year ago, which was deemed another success for both him and pampa” in resident advisors four-star review. first up is robags kloff mottüré mix of bright night, a starry-eyed transformation of dntels work that twinkles like fireflies in the clear midnight sky.with symphonic splashes, playful pitter-patters and a tranquil breakdown, it sounds a bit like teenage toads skinny-dipping amongst the lilypads. next up, robag finds inspiration in dntels jitters,not once but twice: the marf labo mix takes the title quite literally,offering a jittery breakbeat interpretation with a metallic angel chorus swirling over the haphazard beats. finally, on the flip side,the emmens worsch mix brings things more closely aligned with the grooving, heartfelt house thump that pampa has engendered. its the eps most dj-friendly cut, while at the same time showing off robags gentle production touches and letting tamborellos sweet, subdued voice shine through.

the ninth release from the mainrecords shop, on its eponymously titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from matt star, plus a remix from perseus traxx. with well over three dozen releases under his belt in one guise or another matt star aka mattias schildger is no stranger at all to production of high quality electronic music, as this latest ep clearly displays. happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with its tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of ed dmx, while others lend more of a chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the cars windscreen. perseus traxx delivers a subtle remix that remains true to the elements of the original and while adding a booming kick and some of his own production techniques, influences and grit to the mix, shows he isnt stuck in one genre or sound.

first on only via decks.de
für diese ep taten sich oliver schories, anerkannter und extrem aufstrebender super newcomer und holgi star, altrocker und gefühltes technoinventar zusammen, um der welt ihren spaß an guter und gehaltvoller techno musik zu zeigen.
herausgekommen sind zwei schöne, treibende, emotionsgeladene, tränen ins auge drückende, einfach moderne tech-house-tracks, die ohne große umschweife auf den punkt kommen.
holgi legte mit seinem buddy pierre deutschmann noch einen remix auf, und als sich dann noch julie* (der turnbeutel) entschloss mit einer gehörigen portion girlpower >miss you< zu verdedeln, brachen entgültig alle dämme :-)
kurzum: rauf auf die teller damit!

cassio ware digging back into the past for this new cut on on dope wax. as usual, kenny dope is the man in the mix, with the classic vocal from chip-es >like this< pitted against the bassline from esgs classic, >moody<, and some quality synth lines on an old school gem of a track for the house crowds to drool over. on the flip, that superb bassline is left to be star attraction along side those great synths on a bumping house instrumental.

das feine techhouse brett >grid< erscheint mitte märz auf kiddaz fm. das produzenten team um falko niestollik und roter & lewis konzentriert sich hier auf das wesentliche: hypnotisch treibende beats mit gut getimten loops und smartem sampling. herrlich

taken from the upcoming album! the fêted producers debut single for 2012 sees the nu house supremo back in regal form. >falling star<, crash lands this spring on menaces own label compuphonic and is a precursor for one of the most hotly tipped future house albums this year. kris explains, >listening to this track is like being pulled through the stars by your heart with your eyes closed.< he goes on further to add, >i wanted to create a space odyssey, opening your mind and taking you far away into another world.< menace also roped in legendary london based vj dons, hexstatic, to put together a live visual video for a truly out of the world experience

gamm proudly presents the reflex, a new and rising star within the edit scene. after his edits made big noise on soundcloud they are now finally coming out on two separate gamm releases. note, these are not just standard edits but fully reworked productions using multitracks, original samples and even live elements. the second ep by the reflex delivers three outstanding reworks. first up is a killer stomping breakbeat take on marvins & tammy terrells >aint no mountin high enough<. next is a 60s soul twist on amys >rehab< hit. the best is saved for the last when mavins >whats going on< gets an tasteful beatless rework … simply beautiful!

superfunks classic is back on paradise with the original version + remixes from david vendetta, jess & crabbe & junior sanchez.

please welcome: its the arps! oslos magic music maker todd terje has already gained a wunderkind like reputation for his gentle yet potent productions (we wont mention the e-word here) on labels like full pupp, permanent vacation or running back on top of being one of the best remixers money can buy (shit robot, bryan ferry, dølle jølle et cetera et cetera). what is there left for him to do? establish a label of his own! >its the arps< is the starting signal for olsen. and what a splendid one it is. created from scratch and solely on the mythical synthesizer arp 2600 (check www.letsnerd.com for help), it features four tracks (reads instant classics) that couldn’t be a better follow-up to his 2011 super hit ep >ragysh<.

beat a track that already is a hit? nearly impossible ? but not for noir music. they just took superfunk s lucky star and dropped it into a damn hot new edition for 2012. thanks again to solomun (diynamic, supernature) for another brilliant remix work. kolombo takes it back to the oldschool days with a deep work and a real 303 acid edit. overall a superb must-have package.

matt star returns to mainrecords. together with his brother locke and labelboss of mainrecords, he produced two melodic technobombs, which are predestined for the big floors.but thats not all. the maintrack >gaucho< gets an heavy remix by no one less then petar dundov in his typical hypnotic melodic style. we are very pleased to hear how mainrecords developed their style this year.

holgi star (kiddaz, rompecabeza, style rockets) kicks it off for keymono. remix support comes from pierre deutschmann and benno blome (sender, senzen, highgrade, great stuff). played & supported by m.a.n.d.y., hanne & lore, rene bourgeois, andreas henneberg, aka aka, lars wickinger, emerson, nudisco and many more

>halfway between the gutter and the stars< is fatboy slims third album, and it is also this prolific dance producers third release on music on vinyl. here, norman cook continues the work he started on >better living through chemistry< (movlp111) and >you ve come a long way, baby< (movlp099), bringing in collaborators macy gray, bootsy collins and roger sanchez, yet he steps away from the capricious commercial world of the pop charts in favor of the steady beat of the dance floor.
re-issue on audiophlie 180 grams heavyweight vinyl.
