old dark house: suspenseful cinematic ambience and subliminal rhythmic sorcery by andrew crawshaw and corey j. brewer.

techno culturae records launches its first lp and debuts in the world of vinyl with a really hard release. composed of an original mix, by indeck and three remixes, d. carbone, electrorites and warind. dark sounds distinguish this output which represents a real introspection of the dark soul of the artists, where the distorted sounds of the drums and the properly saturated lead / pads, emphasize the frequencies, standing out in a basically hard techno mix that is really interesting. they follow the metrics in a very precise way with different pauses and restarts typical of a sound that is not monotonous, but hard and motivating.

nycs legendary sam records dropped the mysteriously named k.i.d.s dont stop- in 1981. it has it all trancey arpeggios, vocoders & vocals trading off with each other, brass & some heavyweight disco drums that helped propel it forth into the hallowed category of club classic. the record perfectly suited the open minds and open ears of discerning disc jocks in locales such as new york and chicago where this sublime piece of electronic disco sleaze would get plenty burn on the city s infamous wbmx thus having a huge impact, along with a whole host of other similar records, on the burgeoning house scene that was germinating in the fertile mid western soil. b-side cut do it again is a pleasant enough early 80 s disco jam, but compared to the futuristic burner that is dont stop on the other side theres one clear winner. a must have for all cosmic, disco, funk aficionados. now made available again, legitimately licensed, remastered and reissued in conjunction with sam records new york city.

the production and dj sets from metabomen aka krause duo is constructed for the most part as a free-spirited bunch with a special twist. it doesnt matter whether the material is with a jazz catalog, a frizzy sound, a dragging house or a techno press. an inimitable signature is not only clearly identified, no, but for the listeners of krause duo the good ol 10-second preview doesnt need three guesses. the answer from every contestant in the studio booth comes as if shot out from a cannon, so distinct is that krause formulation. from depth and nevertheless a clubby art with stay-fresh ideas. here, reliable doesnt mean stagnant. for the (up to now) 34th release from musikkrause, ian simmonds is comfortably on hand for both sides of the vinyl disc in the studio. out comes two monumentally deep waltzes full of raunchy charm and a knee-deep appreciation for jazz. the impact of both tracks is so spiritual that to speak of dance music is not the issue at hand, but rather something of a ghostly slam to the body. if you listen closely enough you can hear the diligent work of your own being. by means of the poetically-painted tones of simmonds and the clutter, which despite the many tonal designs and devices in this >authoritive-techno<, it has no fore-bearer. you can also tell the form of the work undertaken by the joint venture krause/simmonds isnt complete by a long shot even though in this manifestation there is nothing left to add. the distribution of dynamics appears to be so well-coordinated that there is simply the thrill of savoring such thoughtful club music

it is extremely difficult to detect an ‘extrasolar moon’ and this analog dub techno cut has been proved to be as close to the free-floating planet as possible. its bassline-driven raw jacking acid techno is perfectly aligned with grad_u’s signature heavily echoed dub, and the only thing that protects one from escaping the orbit is flipping to side b. there one’ll find yet another 10+ minutes of goosebumps, this time erected by ‘geomagnetic storm’, a pure and emotionally vigorous dubbed out bomb. the 12” from redscale is an ultimate equity between the outer space of a dancefloor and the inner self of the mind. last but by no means least is the fact it has been mastered at the legendary dubplates & mastering in berlin

it didn t always crave mayhem and destruction. there was even a time when it knew peace. for centuries, its home was safe. hidden away in the wintery recesses of macs0647-jd, alania provided peace and plenty. but that was before the invasion. before the caucasians desecrated all that was sacred in their campaign for intergalactic dominance. as one of the chosen, it was taken and forced to endure the horrors of captivity. every memory and allegiance to its former identity was mercilessly reprogrammed. forged in the fires of greed and death, bad robot was reborn. now, blinded by rage and bound to a power-hungry master, it leaves only blood and bones in its wake. one thing is certain: no one is safe. bad robot is coming for you.

100 copies only with side a sounding like aphex s caustic window project whilst the flip keeps the tempo s but goes for a more early detroit sound.

repress - standard cover - what? unit 2, the classic mad mike production for the seminal detroit house label happy records (a subdivision to underground resistance, distributed by submerge) remixed some decades later? blasphemy, you might cry, a sacrilege, others might say, discogs police sirens everywhere. whatever the verdict, approved and sanctioned by the copyright holder himself, here it comes again and again. begotten during a kink live set, successfully identified by the running back ceo, extracted and road tested as a phantasmal endorphin-producing staple in his dj sets, later released as a limited, stamped white label and now properly issued by popular demand. people whose life is not a big room or a rave in a car park, will find a tamer, but nonetheless heartfelt remix by romeÕs dynamic duo tiger & woods on the flip. deep doesnÕt always rhyme with sleep.

deepartsounds may be a sublabel of moto music, but it s achieved so much on its own terms over the past decade. now joe lewis is joining the esteemed ranks of the label with even more experience behind him he was recording for the likes of relief records and peacefrog way back when. its no secret when you listen to his jams on back 2 live, where rugged and raw synth lines sit atop tough machine beats. love mystery is plenty tender where it counts, but 9 lives and confused house head towards a rougher end goal for the nastier kind of party.

hot!

ltd 2021 repress - back in the early 90s dave coker, justin bailey and laurant webb set up a music production studio a stones throw away from the famous cutty sark in greenwich, along with dave deptford pine as one the founders of the aforementioned studio. they called themselves strangeweather, worked on different dance music styles and formed the fabulously awesome, but slightly ill fated band wubble u. around the same time justin struck up a friendship with nathan coles, a then madly enthusiastic young dj who was starting to make a name for himself on the thriving underground house scene. nathan introduced justin to terry francis and the rest of the crew and collectively the formed housey doings. they released two records on the bush subsidiary imprint green grass and as if by magic tech house was officially born. fast forward a couple of years and the boys replaced the s with a ‘z and struck out on their own. this is a re-release of the first record on the label they named after the now legendary club night wiggle. two sides of proper, uk style tech house - a sound thats been copied, plagiarized and endlessly imitated. but never bettered

limited reissue on 180 gram vinyl, including 1 bonus track.

year 000.000.001 identifies an endless year and a conceptual ongoing voyage in borderless spaces. hence, the fourteen artists, ten tracks and five colors of this second installment are not to be considered a compilation but a continuous metamorphosis of the labels core vision, curated by toto, pepe, carola and giammaria.

following on from his ep on livity sound, al wootton comes home to trule with the maenads ep. four percussive, textural rhythm tracks. sparse and weighty, psychedelic but focused, and scattered with dub echoes. als core influences of uk garage, techno, dub and drum and bass are organically reshaped into new forms that never lose sight of dance floor functionality.

180gram vinyl, standard cover. ethereal and intimate, refined but free flowing sounds from this highly talented italian artist.

this is the second part of the modern house quintet s debut album, this time featuring their work under the cyclades alias. a collection of dreamlike house and electronica, sometimes ambient and sometimes more urgent. this second lp is distinct from the first in the sounds explored - but connected somewhat in the sheer variation and exploration of instruments.

(aka cesar merveille - you might know his music on cadenza, drumma, visionquest) and - body parts owner, olga korol. >bolshe< also comes with another twist through gfds trippy remix on b2.

the “vince montana tribute” (louie vega and rick wilhite from detroit rework) is a heartfelt and masterful production in which 2021 grammy award nominee louie demonstrates his appreciation for the disco sounds that he grew up on in the iconic borough of bronx, nyc. the inspiration came about through an edit rick sent to louie. louie added some of his own editing touches, and the resulting track got big response whenever louie played it at his headlining sets. given louie’s longtime love and respect for vince montana, he decided to create an even bigger musical project. bringing in elements of life band members gene perez (bass), axel tosca (fender rhodes) and luisito quintero (congas), and then adding a piano line himself, louie was able to bring out the most authentic disco elements of this superlative groove but rework them so they are exactly in the pocket for today’s dancefloors worldwide.

dormancy is a mesh machine-like tweaks and dramatic themes that may have been inert until eddie hales songcraft forces it to stagger and sway with the synthetic rhythm. the title track begins with breathy synths and builds up its momentum with the bouncing beat. impulses is a dramatic dance floor track, fencing chords tangle with the rhythm that pulses constantly. bustling and elastic sound of variant 1 evokes the body to move along its excitable groove. the tensile theme of ju-6 never looses its cools with the stagger drums. jon hesters remix of dormancy keeps the overall theme but adding an old school approach as the track builds up with creamy synths juxtaposed with the clangy percussion.

repress inn already in work!! who is the all-nighter? we don’t know but for sure is bringing some timeless music for the dancefloor.
