in the beginning, ekoplekz promised wncl recordings that, should he attempt to make any tracks for the club, he would get in touch. good to his word, the artist formerly known as gutterbreakz aka nick edwards has delivered this 6 track beast. it does rather beg the questions – which clubs has he been frequenting? and how do we get on the guest list?

great mgmt selection

straight out of egypt via berlin comes this excellent two-tracker from the little-known son of sun. according to the press release accompanying the whispers ep, both tracks were inspired by a week sailing a yacht around the black sea. true or not (we have our doubts), there s certainly a sun-kissed laziness - despite weighty kick-drums and hissing, detroit techno style cymbals - about the woozy, dubtribe soundsystem style deep house of a-side -moonchild-. while impressive, the real killer is -whispers-, which peppers a swinging, dance mania style hip-house groove with snaking saxophones and atmospheric, spoken word vocals. it feels like a late night adriatic anthem in the making.

“inverso” is the new vinyl sub-label of kript records, whose concept is based on the meaning that the word assumes in different fields, in mathematics for example the “inverso” ratio means that the product of the variables always remain constant. but the word “inverso” is also a concept that leads to an exact opposite of what it assumes. these two meanings of the word “inverso” inspire all the tracks of the label, characterized by a -noisy and distorted- sound, where symmetry and asymmetry live together and where analog source and analog processing give a great touch of depth.

for our 3rd vinyl release the keyword to demonstrate is freedom. a word that today is always more and more eclipsed. starting with an original mix from our young french talent deam, with his solid and hypnotic basslines, -empie- is a well executed raw techno track. the release is completed by remixes from dubit, eomac and myler. the first remix from dubit, brings a unique groove absorbed in a network of industrial sonorities, aggressive and fraught, ready to kill any dance floor. on the b1 side, we have a killer remix from eomac with his poetic fast broken-beat grooves and frozen atmospheres. this is a mix between d&b, jungle and idm which makes it a perfect execution. myler demonstrates his full personality with his own interpretation bringing out a dark and mystical feeling through a static and engaging evolution

in 1988 krs one made the poignant declaration of never trusting a big butt and a smile on boogie down productions song *jimmy*. truer words have never been spoken. fast forward 2 years later, bell biv devoe are smashing the charts (urban to pop) with their debut single *poison*, and in taking krss words of wisdom the exact phrase - never trusting a big butt and a smile has a major part of the chorus. the world over was singing it.

they say that to know where you are going, you must know where you come from. in 2008 akkachar founded the rwina label, naming it after the word for never-ending chaos in the tamazight dialect of his north african ancestors. over the next five years he let the chaos unfold, building the label into an unpredictable yet reliable power house of dance and electronic music. today he turns to his roots for his own debut release, a three-track ep inspired by and dedicated to the amazigh (or berber) culture found in moroccos rif mountains.

fourth release for serie limitee. 180g, pressed loud and limited, as always. now berlin based, californian lady blacktronica provides a raw beatdown pearl with -never heard the word impossible-... straight from japan, yusuke yamamoto aka freischwimmer joins the sl crew with a classic-house track named -you want-. with -back to the house-, deymare pays his regards to the original chicago sound with this timeless piece. sl004 also announces the return of the mysterious parisian duo erman & abtomat, with five minutes of steamy after-hours disco-influenced house-music! as usual, expect a short bonus track by monsieur cedric.

rarely you come across a record which embodies dubstep so well that rallies the entire scene behind it. from the brosteppers to the deep heads this record has been getting love from all corners of the earth. were talking about under control the latest outing from germanys next top wobble aka bukez finezt. its eerie intro sets the tone perfectly to interlude this hypnotic stomper. once the sonic warfare is unleashed itll transport you to a word of desolation, where aliens run rampant and technology has absorbed everything around them

after some sort of slumber, shabu recordings is proud to present its new series: sharmx. sharmx is pretty self-explanatory: these eps will be a retrospective that breathes new life into tracks from previous releases. these born-again tracks are then presented under a new form that is dictated by another party, not previously involved in any creative process of the affiliated release. the word shabu being japanese for splash, this leads us to our first installment in the series: splash splash vol.1

mirco niemeier - poise boredom is a word that does not exist in mirco niemeiers vocabulary. after the opening of the berlin wall, he took the chance to taste open minded music from all over the world, which brought him to be an actor of the scene later on as well.

top quality reissue of one of the holy grails of the deep house scene - the original deep south recordings release of mission controls classic *outer limits*. originally released in 1990, this floor-filling gem is one of the earliest productions by murk’s ralph falcon and one of his finest. with its deep analogue bass and cool spoken word vocals, it went on to become an underground classic and is now hugely in-demand with djs and collectors. on the flip is the often overlooked brilliance of *give yourself* by the other murk partner oscar g, a bass heavy slo-mo groover that just sounds incredible loud. absolutely essential, do not sleep!

finally we close the ep with woman, a track thats probably about as close as the ds boys get to a smooching torch song. lush pads and strings bring a deeper vibe to proceedings but the female spoken word samples keep the energy high and ensure things never stray too far from the floor.

124black is the new sub label from 124 recordings with the aim of promoting a darker, harder sound firmly rooted in the underground. all releases are strictly limited and available only on 10 inch translucent vinyl. first up is jacob b, rapidly gaining a lot of recognition for his deep and chunky club cuts, aptly demonstrated on >basement crowd< with solid drums, suspense filled strings, a spoken word vocal and a bassline that shows you exactly where the title of this track comes from. next is another 124 family member, liam geddes late night jam, >somebody in the house<. with its haunting stabs, groovy baseline and snare rolls, this a simple, yet very effective track that works equally as well in a small club or large warehouse! on the b-side, cecil returns to 124 with >bv< a track very much aimed at the dancefloor and replete with the producers signature deep stabs and chords, that work alongside a sub bassline that you feel rather than hear. a peak time track...

legendary studio 1 re-release! >a series of very special minimal funky music based on very small and sneaky samples, danceable music but very much influenced by architecture and by the idea of taking minimal by the word and leaving out as much elements as possible to bring the maximum within the minimum.< – wolfgang voigt on the studio 1 series. with this re-release of two tracks from wolfgang voigts seminal studio 1 series, lisbons assemble music turns the spotlight back on to what amounts to the basic grammar of most contemporary underground house and techno. along with basic channel and the concept series, studio 1 has long been acknowledged as one of the forerunners of minimalist techno, though voigt is at pains to point out the >differences between their handwriting. rightly so, since neither mark & moritz nor hawtin prioritised the funk and fizz that jumps out of these two tracks >gelb< the determined younger brother to the more conventionally dubby (but no less groovy) >lila<. any producer who has spent long hours making minute adjustments to the interplay between the simplest of elements – kick, bass, snare, hats – should know they have been walking in voigts ever-so-well-placed footsteps. this re-release from assemble music serves as a reminder of where the music has come from

praterei turns 8, if releases were years and to celebrate, proffers a stamped 10 from label swami, 7 citizens. >do your head in< is charged with a side duties and a bit of a cerebral poke it is too. flirting somewhere betwixt both reverie and nightmare, it’s as playful as it is tormenting. it invites you round for a cup of tea, slaps you about a bit and calls you names before putting you to bed and whispering slightly sexy things in your lughole. >stride< is an altogether less hairy affair. its honest. its honest about the fact you are going to need a safe word. an acid romp with unwavering purpose.

for those who know the story of the bridge wars, there is some irony found in the fact that scott la rock, representing the south bronx, was born in queens, though he did relocate to the south bronx at a very young age. after graduating high school la rock spent four years in vermont at castleton college where he earned varsity letters in basketball, but more importantly for the world of hip hop he became more and more enamored with music. on graduation he returned to new york and began working as a dj and as a social worker at the franklin armory mens shelter in the bronx. it was at the shelter that scott met kris parker and the duo formed boogie down productions. the rest, as they say, is history. roughly a year after the tragic shooting death of boogie down productions founder, dj and producer scott la rock b boy records and krs-one issued this special remix album, a man and his music (remixes from around the world). billed as a limited edition collectors classic the project was released in a limited run – briefly available in the 90s – and now after years of being unavailable reappears as a tribute to one of the genres early pioneers.

body 11 is/was the one-man project of tim stickelbrucks. inspired by the late 70s/early 80s icons such as omd, human league, and cabaret voltaire, tim wrote and recorded 4 songs in 1987 in his apartment and self-released the mind 7 inch ep in 1988. rather obscure at the time, the 7 gained cult status later in the 90s when collectors and word of mouth fans began seeking out copies of the record.medical records is proud to reissue the mind ep 4 songs along with unreleased recordings created at the same time. the unreleased tracks were songs that were distributed only on cassette (to friends, etc) at the time. the tracks have been transferred from cassette.
