the first release will be with the new kid in town: ghost mutt. this young producer from brighton (uk) is linked as resident artist to the people of donky pitch with other residents like boss kite and slugabed. his sound can be, if we try to genre-ize it, defined as a mash-up of hiphop beats mixed with dubstep, covered with glitches, funky tweaks, purple flares and dirty basses. he has been sharing line-ups with tokimonsta, slugabed, blue daisy, boss kite, coco bryce and bass clef.

tahloulas >we play house< in a remix incarnation by chris lattner is at last ready for release after figuring in charts and steadily garnering hype for more than a year. louise marie tüxens charming lyrics are sung on a morphing and modern house beat while a devastating organ-stab pushes the track on endlessly. a classic new york bass-line injects head-nodding and foot-tapping while small vocal snippets and fills create a layered floor-destroyer. a tune that easily could – and nearly did - stand alone, but to the luck of the listeners more is in store for them. emil & chesper, allows us the joy of putting out >the nigerian hustle<. dark and funky with rolling basslines and shadowy percussion, this track is heavily rooted in both berlins minimalism and detroits groovyness.to top off the good fortune is james braun & ubebes >neotony< – a percussion-oriented tech-house track reminiscent of chicago, where banging toms and vintage 808 claps all merge together to form a shining synergy, while blue chords and floating strings engulfs the listener.

rootes not roots blue color vinyl - support by: laurent garnier, neville watson, anton zap, tensnake, charles webster, force of nature

the heat of summer into an urban canyons night of fresh air. in berlin. or manchester. maybe in budapest even. it is warm, but not that close and hot anymore. a soft wind blows through the leaves and ripples the surface of the small puddles the rain left on the streets. with relaxed enthusiasm a man walks up to his house where he will decant a well-tempered sangiovese while waiting for the woman with whom he will chat till dawn.
with three reworkings of one of their tracks from the full-length album >13<, the trio from manchester conjures such an atmosphere on their vinyl release on binemusic, inviting you to (day-)dream or relaxedly bob across the dancefloor. and maybe even bear the waiting time while stuck in traffic.

playmobils ms is the best kept secret on the label. this is a very very well known man running one of the most successful labels in the scene, but wishes to remain unknown for this release.. great release!

detroit artist jason fine is back with a follow up to his critically acclaimed future thought album. the master of the introspective and personal techno sound gives us another killer release, once again transforming daily life experience into beautiful and moving deep techno and house. jason fine continues to play around with layered melodies and harmony mixed with raw and funky drum programming. the ep opens with the track orange, a beautiful monotone organ based techno track, revealing hard times. violet continues in the same vein. blue melodies play around over minor organ chords and heavy kick drum. on the inner tracks blue and red jason with confidence moves into the electro territory, still keeping emotion and atmosphere up front. even though the concept behind this ep is the full color spectrum, the mood is all over blue.

following on from his critically acclaimed third album basho basho, kidkanevil is back with a selection of remixes from his forthcoming basho basho remixed album. first up is a long-time friend of fw in the shape of eliphino. he provides a stunning sub-heavy mix of >the floating world<, fans of floating points, joy orbison & bukem need to check this out. next up is manchesters illum sphere, fresh from the release of his titan ep on martyns 3024 imprint (becoming only the second producer aside from 2562 to have a solo 12 inch on the label). his rebounce of >when doves bounce< does exactly that, adding spooky electronics and tougher drums to the original.

sampler from the inner love cd. tree of life is a deep, lush afro house track done with bradford james featuring both male and female vocals, untitled universe is a ultra funky house cut done with label owner ron trent, mind channel is done with jay tripwire, and my love chase rounds things out.

for this 10th wph release we looked towards belgiums finest raoul lambert aka raoul belmans aka one half of swirl people to follow up on his splendid wph blue b-side track 3 seconds released late 2009. raoul quickly sent us cinnamon dreams, the result of a long valencia-session with friend and fellow producer nacho marco, during which they apparently ate the whole spanish supply of belgian speculoospasta, a specialty that cannot be translated in english, but it contains cinnamon, hence the name of the track and the ep

one of the major players in oslos disco scene joachim dyrdahl aka diskjokke returns to full pupp with his new original track takt raver, a shiny example for his melodic, epic yet jacking style where almost fragile melodic fragments, stomping grooves, simmering acidlines and air-horns magically gel together. label boss and discoverer prins thomas takes us on a space walk with his marvelous psychedelic remix of 1987 which will appear in its original version on diskjokkes forthcoming second album on smalltown supersound. on the flip excentric duo and food geeks ost & kjex ( diynamic ) serve up a whole menu with several courses and a huge variety of flavours: their remix of interpolations makes itÆs entree as a jerky, crunchy afro-beat style funker followed by aromatic, earthy house chords before a well-rounded finish of tangy acid lines and hints of bitter-sweet melodies. sink your teeth (and ears) into this!!!
