a big release from the om records team. this latest cut from miguel migs really is seriously dope. migs dub mix does exactly what you want and expect providing musical house music at its finest. throw into the equation the fact that all three of the remixes are done by artists that serve up serious heavyweight tracks and you get a four track piece of prime vinyl. soul clap (possibley the biggest success story of 2011 along side seth troxler) produce a finely tweaked and expertly executed remix which lives up to every bit of the soul clap hype. aki bergen from neurotraxx fame also smashes it on the remix front gracing us with a deep grooving interpretation to nod our heads in the clubs. finally, hardsoul (if you don’t know who they are where have you been hiding) do what they do best, vocal house gold. a quality release not to be missed

the original track is already a club anthem but that didnt stop emalkay from stamping his hallmark, head-smashing bass-lines all over the place. whilst roska, on the other hand, does what he does best flipping caspas infectious synth horns into a lustrous funky affair with a lethal combination of dancefloor drum-lines and his incredible sub-driven synth jabs. proper party music!

nachdem die gruppe 1973 von ihrem sommerurlaub zurückgekehrt war, widmeten sich benny andersson und björn ulvaeus der komposition neuer lieder. der erste song, der in diesen sessions aufgenommen wurde, war dance (while the music still goes on), welcher sehr von den aufnahmen von phil spector inspiriert war. es folgten im oktober die aufnahmen für my mama said, honey honey, what about livingstone und suzy-hang-around. im november wurde lediglich der king kong song aufgenommen, der später von vielen fans als „der albernste song, den die band jemals produziert hat“ bezeichnet wurde.

it is not about knowledge only, academic or otherwise, it is and has always been more about understanding each thing for what it is, what it stands for and its origins. this is definitely the case with quell, who has been a friend of the these days records since the very beginning. after the artists collaboration with argy under the these days in-house project moniker >club lonely<, this is his first personal ep for the label. drawing influences from a few distant chronologically, yet classic styles of dance music, starting from disco-flavored house all the way to friendly nods at kerri chandler, ron trent, chez damier and the earlier period of new york citys ibadan records, >perception ep< blends all of them together in a most elegant and mature way. amidst the plethora of the house music sound recent revival, quell presents a very complete and solid proposal, which shows that he adores as much as he comprehends the connections between the past, present and future of this music

extremely welcome reissue of one of the shining stars of the boogie firmament - the hugely funky >its you thats happening< from little known band exquisite taste. originally released on tiny new york label starlite back in 1984, this was exquisite tastes only output but what the band lacked in quantity they made up for in quality. a near-perfect example of that early 80s boogie sound, this has it all - insistent mesmerising moog synth riffs, clean crisp percussion, layers of summery vibes and superb catchy vocals combine to make this an unstoppable dancefloor sensation. and thats just the vocal... on the flip, the instrumental is stunning with a sparser arrangement which highlights the grooving bassline, funky guitar work and echoing hypnotic drumwork. with the original 12” virtually impossible to get hold of, this quality reissue is an absolute must-have!

everything is in solution. no more here, no more when - the sounds loosing their way while creating something new and mysterious. waterkristallen is a transparent and absolute haunting track from arjuna schiks which will be released on einmusika records at the end of july. its a deep and tech influenced number with dizzying atmospheric parts and a lot of power on the other sight - its a dancefloor-number detached from the seasons. arjuna schiks was inspired by new age, meditation and world music, a hippie-child from amsterdam - that is what you can also hear in his productions one more day and my cup of tea. they are so strong and free - good vibes for your soul and precious diamonds for the clubs. once again einmusik is preparing the stage for a young and great producer and it is not supposed to be a short-time collab.

collaborating in art, music and science since 1999, recently founding the label magazine and the collective cologne tape, this is nevertheless the first time barnt, crato and jens- uwe beyer appear together as one formation, simply called magazine. if you combine their recent releases - barnts stunning debut ep >what is a number, that a man may know it?<, cratos acclaimed and mysterious >30.6.1881<, j-u beyers incredible sound work on his highly respected last album (with jaki liebezeits drums off chaos) and add the cologne tape recordings you can get an idea of the formations cosmos — but you are not quite there ...

for this release kurbits is happy to announce a new artist for the label – laurentiu suciu – aka. faster. laurentiu has been around on the romanian scene for a couple of years and has earned himself a large number of fans throughout the country. under the name faster, laurentiu has already released a couple of remixes and tracks on various digital labels such as the digital divisions of air drop records and cray1 labworks. whereas his previous releases has been more of straight up house affairs, this release sees laurentiu going for the more minimal and hypnotic shades of dance music. on the a-side we have omego, a track with instant hypnotic qualities. the rolling bass line and the atmospheric pads make the track a perfect choice for those in between moments when you are about to take your set from one direction to another. on the flip we have rost, a rhythmic skeleton based around a simple groove and a little hint of melody. the track might not have the ingredients of a chart buster, but we can assure you that it has all the ingredients of what we call a perfect tool. we sincerely hope youll have as much pleasure with these tracks as we are. well be back soon with new and exciting rhythms. happy mixing!

latest release on rebellion is a superb four-tracker of off-kilter subsonic house from the illustrious pezzner! each cut is unique in its own charm and quirkiness. the two killer cuts on the a side feature the infectious, driving, heady resonance of >one more< and the beautiful, transcendental nature of >try it again< featuring the illustrious nneka gryffyn from apt entertainment. the flip features the piano driven, snake charming >native language< and the staccato sub-ska rhythm and flute-infested genius of >not a good idea<. what a cracking ep! dave released his debut album, the tracks are alive, last year on freerange. he has a plethora of single releases on om, viva and freerange, as well as releases as jacob london (along with bob hansen) on classic & doubledown and countless remixes. already a firm favourite in the rebels camp, this great ep is a feather in daves cap, and is to sure cement rebellion’s burgeoning cutting edge reputation

as a member of chairlift, the band he co-founded in 2006 and exited in 2010, aaron pfenning pulled double (and triple) duty – playing multiple instruments, writing songs, producing, and contributing vocals for the band s major label debut. that comfort with musical multitasking – and a cache of songs he d written that didnt fit his main project – made a new solo effort seem like the natural and logical next step to take. pfenning assumed the name rewards (a moniker hes actually used since 2003), spent the better part of last year touring with we are scientists, brandon flowers and warpaint, and released three broodingly romantic singles (>i used to<, >what a loser< and the achingly beautiful >two cardinals<) that made a host of listeners take sudden notice

mystery meat is back! following a hiatus since last summer’s double-sided whammy release courtesy of nyc disco dons jacques renault and lee douglas, >pump< b/w >got to find a disco<, the top secret edits label returns with the bicep boys in tow. and what a return it is! bicep have been making serious noise over the past several months following their auspicious debut on the throne of blood label in late 2010. in the months since, theyve gone on to remix domino recordings blood orange, tal m. klein (a known associate of fellow mystery meaters nick chacona & anthony mansfield), and la upstarts cosmic kids, and their follow-up ep2 is currently doing the damage on discerning dancefloors the world over

good for saturday nights as well as sunday mornings, maxi jazz, rollo and sister bliss are the holy trinity at the centre of the u.k. electronic dance collective faithless. catapulted into fame by their 1996 banger >insomnia<, the group went on to play almost every stage, club and festival known to man. twice. >outrospective< was their third and most successful album, where maxi jazzs trendy vicar approach and sister bliss & rollos innate sense of what makes music work reach their climax. it is more upbeat in tempo and emotion and has an intuitive production that emphasizes their e-flavoured spirituality to a tee. featuring dido and their biggest selling hit >we come one<.

toronto based noah pred brings back the funk with his clever brand of booty shakin swung out techno house. noahs style has gone through many stages of evolution of the years having recorded for a ton of different labels over the years from consigned, intrinsic, morris audio to his own imprint called thoughtless. this collection of tracks is by far is grooviest work to date definitely fitting bulls eye into the sound palette of cynosure recordings. lesser lights, remember the embers and all day long were all meant to fit together all having the same elements of what makes a great tech house ep. funky swinging drums, hip flexin bass and a blinding lead hook. noah achieves this with cunning style and brings the minimal funk back where it belongs …

supported by tornado wallace (delusions of grandeur), pete herbert (reverso 68/dance disorder)... when jay shepheard launched retrofit in early 2010, deep house with a splash of disco was on the menu. six releases later and the quality of music hasnt faltered once. jays own work has always been the main focus on all five releases but for retrofit 6, rudys midnight machine, (who is in fact robin lee of faze action) takes to the stage alongside an appearance from shepheard (as ee_ef_ex) on remixing duties. >ecstatic love glow< kicks off the ep, diving head first into the disco and synth heavy realm that we expect from retrofit (and, for that matter, from mr lee), whose house outputs with faze action as far back as 97 speak for themselves. the intro of tip tapping hats and congas leads into a penetrating bass guitar, a riff that goes on to be cleverly mirrored by keyboards and later, by what sounds like a scratchy lakland guitar. wooden hats, sirens and a plethora of cosmic elements boogie their way around until the tracks dominant synth parades in and takes over the arrangement, striking a dramatic and smug pose at the close of each stab. the second track of >east side good living< sticks with its predecessors groove, cosmic sirens, electronic whistles and metallic drum taps yet again highlighting rudys modern disco sound

mother focus is their 1975 studio album which marks a departure from the progressive rock style that dominated the band s prior work, to a poppier, often disco influenced direction. it is focus last studio album that features the notorious jan akkerman on guitar.

barcelona is hip, barcelona is beautiful, barcelona is funky. if you dont believe us, check out these fantastic tracks by cardova. on one hand there is the speedy >baccarra<, the ideal soundtrack to your anxious search for the last tickets for the footy, with a nice little nod to the fab four. and then there is that doo-woppy and soulful cover of, err, omds >enola gaye<. now this is what we call calite!

the bearfunk bandwagon just keeps rolling! not content with providing some of the best moments in leftfield dance we again head back to italy so clap rules can show us their >golden hands<.
clap rules is the new pseudonym of fabrizio mammarella, andrea gabriele and max leggieri: who in their own words >make experiments with dance music<. after well received ep’s for labels like tiny sticks & dissident and remixes for dfa artist michoacan, new yorks in flagranti and french electronic music pioneer etienne de crecy. they have caught the attention of djs and music lovers from many different scenes. with a deep love for vintage equipment and recording techniques they mix this up with a fresh modern approach to concoct electronic music with no boundaries, which in itself is what bearfunk is all about, so this marriage was made in heaven.

something so personal which features vocals from rain phoenix comes from a collection of unfinished unreleased tracks and is a smooth soulful track. on the flip, what is false gets an extraordinary remix from machinedrum. another great installment of the 4 seasons series.

our japanese dear friend hidenobu ito is definitely overwhelming and it seems almost comically out of place. from alien hydraulics to percussive steel fractals he allows to take shape within the realm of impossibility. so, what follows next on numbolic records is a stunning lesson in subtle buildup of sound design. theres a feeling of constant movement and shaky energy that means his music never quite stands still. highly resonant and rapidly-panning drum hits act like flickering fluorescent lights. the result is a heavily abstracted layering and perhaps our most sonically release to date. every sound, no matter how tiny, is endlessly tweaked and picked apart. the 12 inch ep is rounded off with 2 prickly re-interpretations. dualism turns up the fog with a super-deep captivating and yet lovingly version. while ditch comes up with a characteristic throbbing dirty techno rework. another 4 smashing tracks by hidenobu ito are added digitally as well as two bonus remixes. kai provides a dance floor-approved version and the hungarian newcomer as we said made a cartoon spaceship to the moon. big pulsating bass kicks will drive you in that particular head-space, but before accidentally killing someone in love, we suggest go get this record instead and start dance! be numbolic!

a1: talk to me - matthew kyle delivers on this one! a huge track, great vocals as always and a brilliant beat, coupled with keys and light percussion. top class!
b1: anger - what a groove! heavy beat, cool percussion ­ this will get you moving! vocals stick in your head and the bass line is subtle but great! so good!
b2: the thrill - mk doing what he does best, the slow grooving track. beautiful. fits so well in the small world disco catalogue.

classic disco cuts

you might not be aware of this artist or lp… but thats all about to change. this is the holy grail of cosmic disco… that disco kids dont even know yet. released in 1978 on little known inter global records, this lp is one of the most in demand, expensive & undiscovered albums of this genre. just check discogs! not much is known about the group, where their from or what they went on to do, but that doesnt stop every track on this album being a bonafide killer. arguably the albums highlight is jamaica electric, but unlike most cosmic disco lps where there is just one main track, every outing on this lp is unique and of the highest quality. cosmic, mind bending disco at its finest… sounding so fresh it couldve been made by prins thomas or lindstrom this year.

tes la roks highly anticipated debut album entitled >them< will finally see the light of day. tes la rok made his name in dubstep circles in 2007 with the massive >round the world girls remix< which immediately positioned him as one of the most exciting artists and definitely one to watch. anthem releases such as >under the dancing feet< remix for clouds, >wikidness remix< for mungos hi-fi, and >up in the vip / living fire< on dub police were soon followed by bookings at dmz in brixton and dubstep mecca fwd>> at plastic people. >them< features thirteen tracks engineered with precision and care. these tracks are being championed by the main players such as distance, n-type, kryptic, minds, desto, pinch, addison groove and cyrus.

hardly strangers to the scene, daniel bortz & sascha silber give what could very well be the summer hit of 2011. the 2 track ep titled >color of love/fantasy< is incredibly effective in creating a smooth late summer feel, perfect for open air nights. straight kicks, crunchy snares, and pressed hi hats, a bassline bounces next to the deep kicks

one of the leading figures in the modern house and techno movement, patrick chardronnet returns to audiomatique with another surefire weapon for the summer. >pleasant day< is perfect for the open air season, yet contrary to what its title suggests, its a dark, funky and freaky tune that carries many trademarks of the audiomatique sound. liquid synths and acidic bass fused with modern drums are all precision engineered to the super high quality level youd expect from chardronnet. the lush and divinely deep >aim< takes us further into the sound capabilities of this seasoned studio hand. fluttering, tropical moods soar through colourful layers of dubbed synth textures and strong, surging bass

such an intense, variegated, and singularly saccharin sound can only come from the mind of someone whos in love with life and music. its what puppy love sounds like for our generation. following the paul woolford remix of t. williams and terri walkers heartbeat comes local action 006, the first 12inch release by an amazing new artist from manchester, uk, called damu. after this, hes got material penciled in for blackdowns keysound label and more. the title track, a stand-out from girl units xlr8r podcast last year, is one of the best tunes weve put out yet, full of colour with just the right amount of lushness to it. while a lot of uk dance music right now seems to use colourful synths in an unimaginative way, damus drip, glow and fizz at every turn in the same way that ill blu or funkystepz do. listening to mermaids like diving head-first into a lagoon. after that youve got three more killers: the iron assault of >beat of zen< and the few-more-intense >sequinny<, plus a ‘beat of zen remix by chicago juke titans dj rashad and dj earl. early support comes from lv, girl unit, sinden, brodinski, starkey and more

the neo051 - kasparov - keep going is a 100% musthave for your vinyl collection!

lower east are proud to introduce the highly anticipated second release from alexis raphael. club soundsystems far and wide are still resonating with the sound of his first release on jamie jones and lee foss critically acclaimed label: hot waves. spaceship was a huge deep house hit and received glowing reviews so what better time to introduce his next offering: kitchens and bedrooms. here at lower east we ve gone all out to make this a special package with remixes from, lee foss, richy ahmed and volante, russo and a deeper >sunset< mix from the man himself. encompassing elements of deep house, house, disco and electronica, each mix has its own bold identity but they all fit the lower east mould perfectly. although this is alexis first release on lower east, he is already a key member of its inner circle. alongside cozzy, alexis promotes the much talked about east london event creche. whatsmore, with regular gigs across the capital he is an established member of the london scene.

yes ... we release records. yes, its marvellous to see that journey from the spring to the sea, that spark of inspiration in an artists eye as it traverses its way to a beautifully packaged piece of 180g vinyl ... but sometimes, its also nice to remember why we started a label in the first place and to visit that dusty corner of the studio where synths, patch cables and spring reverbs lie in wait, taunting us go beyond that perfect 3am comfort zone of the 8 bar loop, hazy red/orange lights and aromatic combustibles.
in order words, heres what we did last summer ... two new ifeel studio tracks to stimulate your solar sensibilities, guest starring (via the wonders of skype) richard hawleys band, a reclusive mittle european synthesist and (lest we forget) his eccentric and slightly mad octogenarian lawyer.

finally ! the new ep from gopher. this one is a follow up from a bunch of remixes that alex had released over the last few last months for autokratz, etienne de crecy, light year, alb, pacific & sovnger. it gives us a good idea musically of what his album with patrick devin could be about !! some of the reactions about these remixes were >amazing< (boys noize), >brilliant< (groove armada), >absolutely love it< (david, autokratz), >quality !< (spiller), >favorite track !< (reset !), >on adore, ça tue< (soulwax)… ok, >invasion< is electronic music, but above all, thats f… good music ! vintage synths, harmonies, vocoder and other surprises ! who are the invaders? if they are as fresh as they seem, then we welcome them with open arms! >virages< takes us where the mastery of alex is well known. a track more radical, more oriented towards the dance floor. a funk and dirty bass line that drives until the arrival of a big 303 lead. mmmmh, yes !

hallucination limited delivers a limited edition vinyl only release from none other than fellow new yorker… zev of wolf + lamb. gathered here are zevs strongest outings for the club since the brilliant >forget the world feat. beckford<. we dare say this is his best work to date with >queen of hearts< being one of the freshest takes we have heard on good ole house music this year. pushing all the right buttons, but also some most would never think to. queen of hearts feat. panu moon the initial groove instantly does what all great house does, but what follows are the contemplative vocals of a showman on the road via panu moons soft country drawl… playfully tweaked by zev adding an edge without taking away from panus croon. an unexpected techno vibe begins to ebb and flow over the groove yet it all magically stays together through the voice of a man searching for the queen of his heart. its house music with both an edge and sense of humor not unlike paperclip people, but in a vein more akin to >every now and then< by ralph falcon

played by tini, ricardo villalobos, audiofly, matthias meyer, jimpster, hosh, till von sein, raresh, federico molinari, shlomi aber, eurokai, kruse & nuernberg, p.toile, reto ardour, patlac and many more. the sun can compare! our summer session - listen and feel! baalsaal is in love with this one . mr. rockford inc. delivers an absolut vocalstunner introducing terry lovique armstrong on the mic. follow him and please stay... a1 please stay (who is 121 remix) an hommage to those old strictly days where sweet vocalism ruled. no cheese, no cream. just a driving basement groover to spread love. a2 midnite soul a perfect warm up jazzmoody example by mr. rockford, that really hits the stompfunkin nail. everglades soundtrack it is what we called it to. i think i saw a dinosaur or is it just a dream. b: please stay ( jay haze rmx ) this one does the warehouse of those days interpretation and has it a little darker and edgier. jay who is such a pleasure to have on board drives it gaga till the grande finale enlighten us double xl. the way jay includes the vocs nearly took it to hazy fantazy land.

the 3rd various artists on ostwind records, >secrets part 3< presents 2 new artists making their debut on ostwind. quinto and jeahmon, introducing themselves with incredibly convincing tracks, were taken into our hearts quickly. attaching utmost importance to sound, feeling and heart, we extend a warm welcome to them. sandru and josh are well-known faces of our house and will complete this vinyl with their unique tunes.

deep a & biri return to rotary cocktail with their >hybrid lava< ep. on the a side, they bring us a deep raw track which takes you on many twists and turns. what starts as a lush beauty builds into a raw energetic monster. as the synth mid bass kick in the tracks takes on entirely new energy. a nod to the old school, but with a fresh twist.
