in collaboration with present books we are happy to present you �kätze� - a story accompanied by a soundtrack, both written by yannick labbe, krätze is about all the dirt that is to be found beneath the polished surface of our little lives. the book, which was designed by our boy wonder florian seidel, evolves around a modern man living in circles. he is seemingly unable to confront his faults, so he distracts himself with superficial friendships, looking good on the outside and a lot of medication.&#8232,,,,,,, on the soundtrack yannick boils down some dark italo, some playful weird house, some dirty drums and basslines as well as relentless rhythms to a highly potent 5- tracker. there are some 6am basement rollers on this as well as tracks that can be played to accompany a sunrise at an open air beach stage. yet they all have that certain two-sidedness in common, reflecting the idea of the book in a subtle way. krä,tze is nasty. krätze is dirty. krätze is not easily explained. but a little krätze lives inside all of us.

we welcome ed longo and his studio project the applied arts ensemble debut on early sounds with the other fantasy, the result of many recording sessions that took place in different places around europe. conceived with a strong jazz-funk, fusion and boogie sound it has been conceptualized around the idea that the schizophrenia of the internet-age, the visions of otherness (the undiscovered lands, the primitive happiness, the impossible love) permeate the collective consciousness and the idealized other loses any correspondence with the physical world.

charles duff and daniel fisher have known each other since well before their respective forays into dance music. they serendipitously crossed paths at some point in the early 2010s with mutual friends in the nyc club kid scene. shortly thereafter they realised they both were keen to ditch the vapid hipster bullshit that had fueled their early careers thus far in order to pursue something pure: techno. mind you, this was at a time when it was not terribly cool to be into underground dance music. if anything, they both were greeted with massive skepticism from their peers but that didn t ultimately deter them. both went from relative obscurity to regular slots at berghain. and for two american kids musing in a pathetic bedroom studio, this was nothing short of a dream come true. a prophecy had been fulfilled. the two tried their hands at numerous attempts at collaboration over a 5 year period but nothing seemed to stick. most of it sucked horrendously according to them. but not on this occasion. the stars finally came into alignment and they were able to execute a concise group of tracks that finally made sense together. which brings us to threads. threads, an homage to the uber-dystopian bbc docudrama from the 80s, sums up their dynamic approach to tracks. it s an alienating, sinister take on techno that somehow manages to not fully lose faith in dire times. much like life today.

meda fury welcomes tom wrankmore aka eliphino to the imprint for a stunning ep of thunderous breaks, 303�s and serious sub-bass pressure. hailing originally from the leeds, but with wider travels to settle down in both london and berlin, wrankmore�s music embraces hip-hop, rave, and uk garage. he now serves up a pungent confection pitched between the hessle audio crew, joy o and demdike stare�s most recent efforts. having released heaters for brownswood and hoya hoya over the years, eliphino now debuts as part of the meda fury family with the realistic sex ep. wrankmore has been locked away in his studio for the last 1.5 years, abstaining from gigging and releasing records to knuckle down and produce, emerging with a new darker edge and a much more hardcore sound. tom explains: �the theme of the ep is trusting your intuition in an information flooded world. i�ve collaborated with visual artists tom pounder & jon harris who have created two videos for the release, one for disc rhythm and one for realistic sex.- meda fury boss nick williams, �tom s new music epitomises to me what modern club tracks should sound like - wild, energetic, deadly. he�s discovered his own dark new world of sound fusing breakbeat, acid, speed garage and even industrial stylings�

a miramar is a place from which you can see the ocean. the bolero group, miramar, chose this word as their name to evoke a place of peace, reflection and solace for a broken heart. even the bolero, a romantic music born in cuba in the 1800s, might have been conceived by the seaside. in the 50s and 60s it became the quintessential musical expression of romance in latin america. it is this era of the music from which miramar draws their inspiration. urgencia (or urgency), tells of the desperation a heart feels when it is swept away by romance, but risks all for fear of not having another chance at love. the flip, salida means a way out. it is a song about the surrender that comes after trying to break free from the darkest of places, of endless frustration and sadness. the lyrics allude, but never tell.
