martin landskys outstanding form continues with his latest release on poker flat recordings–his first outing on steve bugs label since his stunning contribution to the‚jack is back ep earlier this year. with over 10 years of association with the label, landsky is a poker flat mainstay - and with this release, its not hard to see why.the composer is an atmospheric tech-house work out that kicks off with a tight and funky groove, and then expands into an off-kilter dancefloor bomb, with nagging synth lines weaving their way through the taut, finely- tuned production. on the flip,moodmusic main-man sasse adds a dubbier take on the track, pushing the drums up in the mix and teasing out the acidic riffs to full effect. expertly building the tension, the track resolves itself in an epic breakdown.

hotflush presents the debut 12 inch from belgian newcomer locked groove aka tim van de meutter. the young producer delivers three hypnotizing and genre bending tracks that expertly weave the sounds of berghain, soulful house and uk garage into a single crushing package. the >rooted< ep draws you in with the title track, bouncing along to an acid baseline, then moves onto >drowning<, a moody techno track that was included on scubas dj-kicks mix compilation, filled with drum and ambient samples taken from field recordings. lastly, >change<, a production that smartly melds classic house grooves with industrial techno, demonstrates locked grooves rhythmic finesse and long-term promise as an artist.

the londinium ep is the latest release on uzuri recordings and welcomes chicago skyway back to the fold. not that hes been away too long, having produced a full 12 release and contributed to the from chicago turin amsterdam & dublin with love ep just last year. we also welcome hakim murphy to the label – with his credentials it was only a matter of time before our paths crossed!as the title suggests, this release was inspired, conceptually at least, by our nations capital, and its apparent that sean has spent quite enough time here to get the gist of the place, with the b-side tracks entitled traffic and noise, respectively. im sure he loves it here, really.musically, he keeps it closer to his windy city heart – very clearly reflecting his roots, in fact. as a dj and club promoter in mid 90s chicago, sean frequently shared the decks with some of the citys biggest talents at that time – cajmere, gene farris and spencer kinsey (gemini) among them, and one could say that theres an audible relief flavour to a-side, london streets, with its stripped-back, hypnotic stomp. its fitting that hakim murphy remixes the track, coming from similar roots within chicagos scene, and his own reworking retains the drawn-out essence of the original but brings a whole new hips-and-shoulders groove to the track.

driving forces recordings are happy to present roberto capuanos first ep for the label.
next to this new talents three original tunes, on >invaders are back ep< you will find one of driving forces biggest tracks to date, no less than drumcode and 8 sided dice artist, alan fitzpatrick delivering an amazing remix of the title track, which has already been supported by adam beyer, joseph capriati, sasha carassi and alan himself, on his recent essential mix for bbc radio 1.

a summer special? in the winter? well yes, why not? the wph summer special 2010 is the stuff of discogs legends by now, so we figured wed do this again: a split label release between we play house recordings and lany recordings with very good music.

veteran uk producer/dj paul macs debut release for art shows his remarkable versatility and meticulous production skills. odd things amount to nothing is very much a modern techno wall-shaker. it’s incessant drones and wails ride upon a wave of relentless beats. the track pauses to catch its breath after a tremendous build before once again going clattering down the rails. the flipside is the track that original caught label-owner and a&r kirk degiorgios ear - a modern take on the classic chicago/detroit hybrid sound of the late-eighties, brought up-to-date with a crisp sound

another epic seahawks voyage and this time theyre heading for the deep ocean of outer space. the results have been likened to the klfs chill out album performed by astroanuts. yep its that spacey but theres plenty of baked groove excursions along with the cosmic dinner jazz. imagine that instead of creating yah mo be there, michael mcdonald and james ingram hopped aboard a spaceship captained by sun ra and set the controls for alpha centauri. somewhere between the sea of tranquillity and the red heat of mars they find a party going on, klaus schulze is jamming with chic and peter frampton, kenny loggins is on bongos and the horn section from the doobie brothers are blowing soft and sweet but mike and jim have taken a whole lot of mind bending psychotropics and the music sounds like nothing theyve ever heard before. you are entering the seahawks universe, let your mind roam free. to ensure premium audio fidelity, the lp was mastered at abbey road and pressed at vinyl factory. as ever the artwork is beautiful and the edition is limited so get your skates on!

83370 is the first transmission from ollie viero and nico serrus, a pair of french brothers who grew up in a beach town along the coast of the french provence, saint-ayg, which has since become the basis for their name: sinteg. now based in montreal, their collective output has made up the bulk of fur trade recordings signature sound - this sixth label offering is the third to feature one of the two brothers at the helm. they are fresh and prolific and, as such, they are the sound of a new generation of montreal producers. vieros version of house music is upbeat, fiercely layered with percussive latinized shuffles and necksnapping samples. meanwhile, brother mindbend is one of the labels co-founders and has been designing its style and directions since the beginning. together, sinteg is a breeding ground of propulsive dance music punctured with tiny shards of detroit funk and chicago soul, but with the brittle dryness of techno substituting in for the deepness of house.
comes on transparent dark green / smokey marbled vinyl.

after his ace remix for nicolas jaar s >space is only noise< here on circus company, our man dave aju is back with an appropriate dose of in-between original music for the fall season. taken from his upcoming album project that uses vintage inherited recordings as sound sources, >all together now< is a beautifully unique track that is guaranteed to move people with its irresistible groove. indeed, the aptly titled jam brings together and bridges gaps of various kinds, from lo-fi and hi-fi to under water and outer space, with classic-flavored dynamic percussive elements, spiraling futuristic leads, and melodic synth work sprinkled with aju s distinctive voice, encouraging us to join in on the live collective claps that accent the cut. the building bass pulses and warm instrumentation stack up toward the ceiling, until a fresh breakdown spreads things out to release the pressure. amsterdam don san proper brings an equally unique and refreshing remix to the table, with a rugged take on the track complete with cool guitar licks, modular effects, and contrasting additional vocal stylings. similarly dynamic in the drum workout department but with an extra rawness, it is a fantastic complement to the original that rounds out the release perfectly.

g.h. is gary howell, longtime associate of modern love as one half of pendle coven and sometime contributor to the hate project. the ground ep features howells first material produced outside of pendle coven and takes on a much darker, more stripped down aesthetic - making use of location recordings amassed over the last decade. the title track extends over 7 minutes from a solitary bass pulse into a slow, three dimensional industrial reduction heaving with uncomfortable bass weight and a sense of nervous expectation. its like the bare, skeletal noise framework for darkest junglist hardcore stripped of its percussion - all bar a bass drum and intense shards of noise. albedo has more of a swing to it, dominated by a growling bassline and the metallic clunk of disjointed percussion at odds with the squashed funk lurking somewhere at its core. the template is extended on earth, a brilliantly discordant club variant that sounds like an r&b mastertrack exploded into 100 constituent parts and put together not entirely in the right order. it builds and collapses into itself, a stylistic oddity that at one and the same time brings to mind boards of canadas re- working of colonel abrams - trapped and the extreme frequency vortex of the raster noton lab

the onset of autumn brings this new release from is it balearic..? recordings head boys coyote. featuring the vocal and lyrical talents of gavin gordon, a madrid based singer songwriter who has previously worked with mock and toof. minamoto is the tale of a 12th century samurai beautifully laid over a heavily percussive and slightly psychedelic disco groove. for the remixes, dj steef creates a more dubbed out 4/4 bouncy synth affair. the hardway bros concoct a proper mid-tempo acid house workout fitting for all the more discerning dancefloors. the third remix from shocks is a reverb heavy breakbeat trip into the darker side of hypnotic balearic/cosmic beats. there is also a bonus track el sueno oscuro a beautifully evocative solo flamenco guitar track by gavin gordon.

different recordings is very proud to release mr no debut: snake ep.
initial reactions are overwhelming with rob da bank using the title track the snake to open his bbc radio show on oct 1st or thebluewalrus blog writting >i havent been as excited about a french techno/house debut as much as what i ve just heard from mr no in a long time. fuck yes!<
with the snake, he or she and vibrant (the three tracks of this ep) mr no delivers a warm uplifting techno / electronic music full or energy.

the transition from hip hop dj to dance music producer is not always an easy one. it is a path littered with countless fitted caps, baggy jeans, and backpacks. yet throne of blood s oneauff has walked this path and emerged unscathed. originally from north carolina, this long time brooklyn resident is no stranger to tob, having released two singles with production partner eamon harkin (mister saturday night/subway series) as well as remixes for populette, corinne (on the prowl), and the neurotic drum band (wurst music co.). though oneauff (known to the government as steve raney) has also been heard a couple solo releases including a digital-only single on buzzard gulch and a remix for cubic zirconia (dont cry recordings), the heavy heady ep is his most fully realized and developed. it s also among the most gorgeous records throne of blood has ever released.

this is the third of the black dogs liber series of releases that are purely aimed at the dance floor. it follows the previous, well received liber kult & liber temple 12s, these singles all lead to liber dogma, due on soma in october, and further chapters. high rise choir reprise opens with clattering percussion taken straight from recordings at forgemasters before a face-ripping gut-wrenching bassline cuts through with one of the black dogs strongest minimal grooves yet. built to move heads and feet, the hypnotic groove hooks you instantly while the haunting strings bring the emotion in massive dark waves, you cant help but fall into this track. beautifully simple, addictive and massive. dissident bleep is just that. over the years the myth that sheffield is all about bleep and bass has gathered ground but those who live here know its all about the bass. industrial repetition gives way to twisted vocal samples of >over, over<, a sure-fire nod to cabaret voltaire, before the kicks and filters pummel you.
