vessel returns to left_blank with 3 tracks of mind bending house & techno for the labels 5th release. after inaugurating the label almost a year ago with his critically acclaimed nylon sunset ep, vessel aka sebastian gainsborough went on to release a sold out split cassette with fellow left_blanker el kid, and a stunning digital only set for a future without. as a result of this the all conquering tri angle records snapped him up in early 2012 to release his debut album. this eps title track standard spans the length of the a-side: 5 minutes of low-slung, smacked out death disco, coming over like john carpenter meets newworldaquarium, pure valium vibes. merge on the b-side is positively sprightly in comparison, all rattling and metallic before a drop at the halfway point brings a welcome dose of detroit influenced machine funk. zero closes the ep in abstraction, whirring and stumbling along while showcasing sebs intricate sound design, a teasing glimpse at what is in store for his album later in the year.

pop in großbuchstaben: zweites album des stereolab-keyboarders als 12 inch lp, inklusive cd.

new 12 inch heat from dj spider and hakim murphy on plan b recordings called kaiju ep. inspired by the giant monster fights that were part of the saturday rotations of network tv in the 70s and 80s sparked the inspiration for this 6 track ep. four futuristic bangers accompanied with two ambient soundscape pieces that take you on a ride through murky beats and lush sound textures. super banging chicago-new york hybrid release for the new year!

pop will eat itself (they took the name from a feature in the nme) was formed in 1986 and became one of the most well-known grebo-acts before changing their style to alternative dance and industrial rock. in 1996 they disbanded the group and each of the bandmembers concentrated on solo projects before shortly reforming the band in 2005 to play some shows. these gigs were notable from their instant double live albums which were available only ten minutes after the gigs. in july 2011, graham crabb announced a new line-up with him as the only original member.

london based label sect salute spains techno history with their tenth release, represented by highly respected techno producer and dj victor martinez. psychedelia-tinged tracks are the order of the day here as victor steps up the pace and sets the standard. >the infiltrator<, chapters 1 & 2 are both moody and mysterious slices of voodoo magic from martinez and firmly nod to the dark hours of techno. flip to the b, and >lessons on emptiness< is just as menacing, with weird samples and indecipherable vocals flying throughout. >motor zerox< leans to a slightly lighter atmosphere with rumbling percussion sections and a hook melody. another killer 12inch from sect records

steady wind keeps blowing from the east with these tracks by andrei oid, khz and stanislav tolkachev on fullpanda records.

slamming classic chicago house, now 2011 with fresh updated edits

including remix by cristian vogel.

new yorks elon provides metroline with yet another very fine release. clap back is a real gem. the original mix has a beautiful spacious and airy mix that allows the echo-soaked toms and the swirling vox stabs to breathe, and they really draw you in. an insistent bass pulse provides a structure for the snappy post-garage percussion to build into a lurching, lunging rhythm. very original, and very infectious. ekkohaus remix is a focused, driving deep house groove, shaped around lush, rounded stabs and heavily-filtered synths. claps and snare emerge from the beautifully balanced mix to give the track a real disco kick. the third track on the ep zero gravity has a more back-to-basics feel. the bassline is dubby, but the percussion has a classic french touch feel that gives the track real movement. a rhodes-like synth line wraps itself round the track like a warm fuzzy blanket. maximum comfort for house heads.

next strike on mutex from exploit: hypnotic techno groove at its best! great support from the likes of laurent garnier, danny tenaglia, alan fitzpatrick, karotte, markantonio, wehbba and many more!

the third release of the new label >lets get lost< which was started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this third release is by uk producer extrodinaire leo zeros remix of the uks florence & the machine. this leo zero remix was released on only cd single and itunes in 2009. when i received this remix from the agent of leo zero i fell in love with it immediately. it was one of the biggest tracks for me in the last year but was never released on vinyl. leo zero reconstructed the aesthetic alternative rock (like a pumping cocteau twins!?) to very emotional house music. its simply good music and not only for the dance floor. greg wilson has edited it into a semi instrumental version which has never been released on any format. this release is official bootleg for limited press! dont miss it!!

new 4 tracker from the little phatty camp.

diese platte hat von allem mehr. mehr rhythmus, schlagzeug, perkussion. mehr keyboards, besser noch: synthesizer - sounds, die sofort da sind, sich nicht abweisen lassen, etwas von einem wollen, und doch ein großes geheimnis bewahren. mehr seltsame loops, mehr elektronikgewitter. aber alles der einen idee untergeordnet: die beste kreidler platte aller kreidler platten zu werden. jetzt auch auf vinyl inkl. gratis cd des albums

played by: richie hawtin, raresh, cisco ferreira (the advent), matt star, xpansul, nicolas duvoisin, mirco violi, frank leicher, sebastian altstadt, locke aka dermaptera, sean o neal (someone else), jon gurd ...
igor jadranin aka en-tropic signs his new ep – >between two extremes<, for the record label underground limited.this release clearly proves igors unmatched talent and maturity in music production. the lead theme of this ep >between two extremes< – a very deep and powerful theme, carefully broken by rhythm and still a gentle and emotional jazzy looped composition – is surely my personal favorite from this release.cooperation with marko vukovic is embodied in the track >back again< – a minimal deep house filled with rhythm, not the kind of rhythm produced by percussions and other drumming instruments but rather by a cut vocal and dirty synth, which breathe soul into this theme.
>zero loss circuit<, which has an expressed club spirit, is the ideal piece for building an atmosphere in a club. igors music definitively deserves a spot on every good djs list.
(zoran petkovski review)

after the debut albums from future beat alliance and aardvarck, delsin strikes again with this very deep soulful ambient techno album by dimension 5. until now dimension 5 did have only released one 12, but one which was directly praised by fabrice lig, laurent garnier and others. his album alien artform holds both deep, ambient like techno to listen to (think: john beltran & detroit escalator company) as well as more dancefloor-aimed material, without losing the soft touch, (think: kenny larkin & aril brikha). this is (detroit) techno as it is meant to be: soulful & deep. should appeal to fans of aril brikha, d.e.s. and the dubbier german techno stuff. tip!

for more than 15 years now, steve bug is known for influential track somewhere in between house, techno and minimalism. with his very good sense for the energy of self-limitation, bug has set standards when it comes to the funk of modern sound geometry, especially with his imprint poker flat recordings. milestones such as >loverboy<, >monsterbaze< or >wet n dry< are now essential elements of the history of electronic dance music. only a few weeks after the release of his fourth album collaboratory, bug even tops that one with this 12 inch on cocoon: while look whos stalking obviously refers to steves close relation to the raw energy of u.s. house in between chicago trax and detroit, using driving hand claps, percussions and nasty vocals, the flipside zero balance could pass as a vision of how far you can reduce techhouse to the essence of a bass line. also here, short vocal loops - besides the fast-moving elements - complete a sensibility that makes bugs tracks such high quality music for a very long time now.

metronomy are back for 2009 with this perfect slice of pop pleasure taken from their fantastically received second album nights out. a multi layered party playlist that gurgles out anthems without pause! a sleeping giant of a dancefloor creeper that will be everyones favourite in approximately six months time. 9/10 nme

4 track massacre from the mental torments label!! tracks by sepromatiq, flotek & mario kinle, salva trucha & bruce and tilthammer!!

nice price deal !!! born in a voodoo cave from an analogue broth of baldelli & mancuso, mysterious new music project zarrylade puts first feet forward with this limited self produced release. a connie chase inspired calypso moog line serves as the backbone with heavy vocals soaring all over... we re not sure if he is a person, or a band, or from los angeles or london, either way leo zero has picked up zarrylades afro disco boots on a stripped down aa side. deep grooves for the feet & psychedelic sounds for the head and sky - heavy on the ethno beats and tribal overtones... all coloured in with some west coast spiritual glue. a zarrylade album is in the pipeline with this and another follow up limited 12inch - so dont sleep on this one people!

play the game is a sophisticate vision in true house music, those . elegant and deep sound . great songs and voice are making the difference . a perfect deep house, hi tech sound , such deluxe sound to play.the original is gorgeous.

after a longer gap than intended, part two of the cage & aviary remix series lands with a bang. truck are an enigma of a band, only forming when the astral alignments deem it appropriate - the next is due in 2012. cage & aviary take the brilliant vocal into proto/acid house territory with a killer bassline ready to move any dancefloor. crude vocal cut ups add to the 80s remix feel, while guitar licks, god pads, and all manner of prophet warblings come and go in a patchwork of angled sounds. sinister strings cut through at the mid way point before the superb outro vocal takes you home. for the dub, ape into jam & leo zero put their heads together and push the track into more of a dancefloor place, employing arpeggiators to keep the cut and paste elements rolling along. leo is a man of many excellent edits, productions, and remixes - watch out for an exciting new vocal project coming from him soon

the final record from oakland, cas psychedelic quartet, the gris gris, was recorded live at the warehouse where greg ashley resides. the twilight had come and the fat lady sang. the final bell tolled for the brightest sons of the oaklandish psychedelic revolution. here is the final piece to that hazy, mysterious, yet strangely familiar sound this band created. with songs from both records played with ferocity and sonic mayhem, the story of the gris gris is here. bright. swirling. gnarly. electric...
