yc‘s adultnapper has built a reputation for himself that not only commands respect for his highly evolved production skills, but also for his unique musical visions that steer him down his own unique path. not interested in following the current pop-trends, adultnapper turns in a freaky two tracker using a sharp, modular and timeless electronic sound palette. ‚almost nothing‘ is a complex and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and endless tweaked out studio trickery. haunting smatterings of melody, synth texture and paranoid-funky vocals drop in and out of the mix as this deep acidic groover charms you from the inside. poker flat regular patrick chardronnet provides a wicked remix that begins along the same reduced, textural tip as the original, yet builds into a breathtaking organ led harmonic climax. dramatic, uplifting and main-room friendly chardronnet‘s remix opens up the spectrum once again as audiomatique continues to surprise. ‚white fingers black hair‘ is the b side jam from adultnapper. a skipping, similarly complex and meandering groove is jacked up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme that revolves around the track, amongst building strings and gated snares as its freaky climax is unveiled. super, off the wall stuff from nyc‘s chief mindwaper himself

for the second cassius records and to carry on with the youth speed, trouble, cigarettes adventure we give you four remixes done by talented producers across europe from milano italy… reset! we met the three kids from reset! in magazinni generale while playing, their set was powerfull but also full of respect and influences from hip hop, soul and dance music in general, we finished our sets back to back and since this day love them their trouble mix could have been done by the jbs if they were still twenty something and into house music… it rocks and never stopsno use to present the music from radio slave, the big difference with a majority of other producers is that we both can recognise his tracks in a few bars only, also in the way it streches to crazy length and takes you in a trance that could have come directly from lagos in 1973 matt embrace the same philosophy we all cherish at cassius records the no boundarys way hes more than minimal, more than electro more than techno he stripped down ystc to the max and his remix played at the good time on a good system is a true chicagoan infused gem then after chaos

balearic biscuits remixes and edits from veter pisti (aka peter visti of visti & meyland and eskimo fame). the first is an 80s disco pop mover with fagget fairys thrown in for style. the flipside has a stripped down totally tubular reworking of foreign affair, which is a mike oldfield song, minus most of the lyrics. voice of buddha is in a synth heavy league of its own originally from... yup, the human league.

tokyos kez yms follow up to his maiden yore ep, city soul, opts for a more pronounced party vibe, as evidenced by the plenitude of voices that repeatedly pop up during butterflys four deep house tracks. the material sounds of japanese producer kazuki yamaguchi puts a clubby spirit to this ep. propelled by a beautifully warm and soulful bass pulse, inner city funk grooves mightily for five blissful minutes, its rhythm bolstered by the crisp snap of the snare, the funky wah wah of an electric guitar, and the occasional interjection of a synthesizer melody. bridge to bridge quickly charts its own percolating course with the addition of a stepping disco house pulse and a male voices sleepy, off handed musings. bringing the lights down for a romantic make-out session, the sexy low tide chills the pace slightly so that spent dancers can catch their breath and replenish themselves before the next go-round. of the four tracks, the title cut grooves most powerfully in merging a rambunctious broken beat drum attack with an equally driving bass line and manic electric guitar soloing. play these jams loud.

dilla would surely be proud! and so would probably theo and moody too. theres a new cat from michigan down with the raw fusion roster. his name is kiyoshi shelton and will, with a 150% probability, hit both the hip hop and soulful house scene large! his 3 track debut ep on raw fusion starts off with a real smooth hustlin deep house tune with parallels drawn to the eminent new york producer, dj spinna or even west londons own soulful heroes restless soul. the flipside takes us down memory lane with some real heavy detroit hip hop bangers, both of them with a nice soulful touch. their heavy and the tough and wicked lyrics are least as sharp.

> rollerskate< could be the most infectious song your going to hear this year. its far too easy to immediately get drawn in with the organic earthiness of aguayos musicianship. things get mixed up when diegors & the don move towards a more traditional cumbia tuned version and sanfuentes & alex thunders come up with a demented disco bass wobble. last but not least mexicos dark dancer rebolledo brings his signature beat(down) together with matiass mantra to new levels

a project from spain that was delayed cause we simply lost contact with the artists at the point of signing. the duo seemed to have strong bonds with a spanish clique of the notorious central american gang ms-13. sadly enough, the main producer is in lock-down for a crime committed in the us and therefor we never had the chance to finish this project. it will now be released (finally) as part of the limited when insanity slips in series with a handnumbered screened printed sleeve. the music is pure electronic chaos (think ultradyne). pure analog terror from a project that already ended before even getting signed.

detroit, 1993. the burden brothers, known for their octave one project and 430west record label, start a new sub label called direct beat. it was created to release the techno electro sounds of inner city detroit. in 1995 the label was in full effect and released music produced by friends such as tommy hamilton, keith tucker, mad mike banks, will web and them self.
now 15 years later we know that direct beat was one of the big influences on how electro and techno is today. together with underground resistance, axis, m-plant in detroit and some like minded people in europe and artists such as drexciya, aphex twin, autechre and dopplereffekt it changed the way people looked at techno... it broke away from the dominant 4/4 kick and brought back the funk and emotion that disappeared once house and techno became popular and mainstream music in the early 90s.
we are happy to bring back direct beat records by making some of its classics available for a new generation. this is a part of techno music history we may not forget about! especially in these days that people consume more and more of the format tracks. this shows that emotion, passion and energy creates much more then just a dj tool... it creates tracks that become part of peoples life! and not for just one or two months in your i-pod... but for the rest of your life in your record collection! timeless classic collection... must have!

the first release on phonica white limited series is from tokyos iori. this young producers impressive work ranges from woozy ambient electronics to full-on club tracks. the common thread is a highly developed sense of texture and arrangement.a-side galaxy is simply lean, expertly crafted techno, led by a rolling bassline and crisp hi-hats, with hypnotic melody patterns skittering off the surface. its a trippy but accessible heads-down affair that has the depth and the bite to do damage at peak-time and in the after-hours alike. urge on the flipside is an even deeper, sub-heavy cut, an insistent, club-friendly groove swathed in burbling synth arpeggios and fx. despite being stripped-back, the sound design and sheer warmth of the production is incredible. the track really breathes.

handsette recordings return with yet another essential release! having blown up in the clubs and been begged and begged to be released, we now feel its time to unleash the beast that is posthumans lander on the world. lander is a real monster of a track. stuttering rave stabs meet fresh, driving beats and a wall of bass. one of those tracks that make people go, wtf is this? in a club! currently being caned by major djs across the country and getting radio 1 and solid steel show play, this is a big, big track. on the flip, cursor miner takes the track and flips it left, right and upside down! dropping the tempo and changing the emphasis from a stabby rave monster to a bass driven crunky wobbler, it is a fresh take whilst losing none of the energy of the original.

support from the worlds finest djs and artists such as pier bucci, argenis brito, butane, maetrik, gregory shiff, ambivalent, and id, barem, and noah pred.
this four-track vinyl is an absolute must have for those who love to play a chugging, driving style of minimal and techno. produced by barcelonas pablo bolivar, >looking for a shape<, pushes the depth and groove that he is known for, but in a more aggressive yet subtle way. the original doesnt allow one to breath with constant changes in percussion and amazing flow. his >phase two< track will annihilate the speakers in clubs with deep bass and is a sharp, tightly wound percussive masterpiece.
the remixes offered are by monkey brothers, who take a very different turn with the track and offer a soft vocal and is perfect for the dance-floor as it delivers a strong pop for those later in the night moments. finally, the last track on the record is hidden recordings owner deepak sharma + dieter krauses interpretation of the original. they have created a more slowed down, druggy, groovier version of the original. its not quite as smooth as the original and thats a good thing as the extra glitch is great for those who need more punch in their sets. there is something in this release for all kinds of djs.

nice price deal !!! intimacy waste no time in following up paul woolfords >false prophet ep< with another missive, this time from belfast duo timmy stewart& john mciver - collectively known as jet project. responsible for a steady stream of dancefloor moments which often combine a rare appreciation for dancefloor dynamics, engaging & provocative sample sources, and a knack for arrangement that maintains the energy. its not surprising to know that andrew weatherall is a fan. label head paul woolford first met the boys in belfast in 2003 and after many repeat visits to play at their residencies, the stiff kitten and shine, (both techno institutions), their bond was sealed. the title track from this ep takes a large part of its inspiration from a charles baudelaire recital and is hard evidence that jet project truly take their lead from nobody. on the flip, we march at dawn furthers the cause - and we are then taken on a ride by the in-form sian via his heart bound for hell reworking, which rebuilds the track and surges upwards with more pressure, capping off a killer new ep for all involved..

this 12 brings four typical deepart tracks, mastered to full quality. again they come in his typical, minimal lo-fi style, with the soul deep within. >monsoon< probably goes most abstract, a deeply funky combination of strings and beats. >n-w-2< combines the same ingredients, together with live guitar played by simon gayes. side b holds the more down-to-earth >questions< and goes spacey with >city life<. best deepart release since ages!

juke and ghetto house hero dj gant-man was part of the fools gold family from the start - his remix of kid sisters >damn girl< was on the back of our very first release, quickly followed by production on kid sis >switch board< and shows around the country as her tour dj and hypeman. so naturally, we are very proud to present gants new solo single and debut fg artist release, >juke dat girl<.
from his earliest 12 inches on dance mania, to rocking parties around the world on the rave and club circuts alongside legends like paul johnson, gant has been pushing his signature chicago sound for almost two decades - mixing up rapid-fire juke beats while referencing all the house and disco classics that first paved the way. >juke dat girl< is the latest development of gants hybrid approach, slowing the bpms down to a more universal tempo but keeping the hyper, party-starting energy intact.
the banging original also comes backed with two massive remixes - an amped-up rave version from the heavily buzzed dc duo nadastrom and a groove-filled uk funky house rework from ex-bugz in the attic producers greenmoney. the entire single is a dj must-have, so pick it up and work! and juke! and work! and juke…

hakim murphy has been on a roll these past couple of years. he is on a roll and on a mission to take the chicago house music he loves into the future in the hakim style, staying true to the jack, groove, and feeling of chicago while at the same time exploring new territory and his own inner space. after his last ep on metamorphic, wiggles, hakim has gone on to produce a string of releases on labels such as his own synapsis records and remixes including a stunning reinterpretation of the classic welcome to chicago by future forward feat. john simmons. now we are again proud to present a flollow up ep from hakim called black robots having sex with a very special remix by metro areas morgan geist! this 4 track ep shows hakim at his best covering the full range of his personality, deep melodies, jacking rhythms, and sexy funky robotics. morgans remix of jupiter poop is stripped down, thick and warm, focusing on the subtle pulsating sub bass of the original with teases of shimmering melody and solid crisp percussion throughout..

this great selection of rare electro/wave/disco/cosmic tracks should be able to plug some holes in even the biggest of record collections! top leftfield disco action!

belgian producers sierra sam & marcus vector return to their house-oriented project d.i.y. (dumb irresponsible youth) for three more sly, sexy groovers, with contributions from dop, big bully and markus fix.
while sam and marcus are generally known for their more techno-focused productions, last years house tools vol. 1 was a minor hit, with tracks included in ellen alliens resident advisor podcast, jay hazes recent fabric47 mix cd, and m.a.n.d.y.s charts. since then, they ve kept busy with their own toys for boys label, meanwhile sierra sam has co-produced the debut album by bloody mary on contexterrior.
still, they ve found the time to crank out these new elegant-yet-sleazy cuts, and while vol. 1 was purely instrumental, for vol. 2 they ve roped in some guest vocalists. first up is their collab with comrades dop (circus company, eklo, supplement facts). >kilimanjaro< features d.i.y.s tribal bounce combined with dops seedy, trent reznor-on-opiates vocal delivery.
the flipside has two versions of >suck my caulk<: d.i.y.s original elevates thelevel of melody and sunshine, weaving in the voice of big bully (known forhis work on spectral, get physical and vakant). markus fix of cecille offers his own interpretation, bringing the track down into deep house territory. placed in the right hands, these tools can do some serious dancefloor damage!

russian duo easy changes have been demanding international respect for some time now and have established themselves as free and forward thinking producers, who continue to surprise. returning to mean, easy changes have delivered a refined, abstract jazz experiment that teases with continuously evolving elements, moving, shifting, drifting, telling tales, whispering in corners. zhazdha krovi gets our attention with twisted vocals playing with off key elements focusing on refined detailed percussion and clean bass sounds. stolem is a rythmic workout. light, quircky elements amuse whilst sitting on top of the groove that insists we get down. sweet n candy come in on remix duty and deliver a tech house killer. pulsationg, tough grooves that will raise the temperature on any discerning dance floor. b2 is a minimal jazz jaunt that teases, off kilter and experimental and refined

big with: norman nodge, surgeon, dave clarke, peter van hoesen, mike parker, ben klock, marcel fengler, laurent garnier, hell, vince watson, ben sims, cassy, slam, dan curtin, ...
with releases on labels like ostgut, time 2 express and prologue, the finnish producer is one of the leading lights in the new wave of european techno. samuli gets straight down to business on orbiter. based on chugging, insistent drums, the listener is led to a place where repetitive droning sounds, pitched up percussion and robotic bleeps dominate. if ever there was a soundtrack lose your mind to in a dark room, then >orbiter< is it. >metal space< is more considered, but its no less effective. berlin producer mike dehnert rounds off the ep with an excellent, deeply textured take on >metal space<.

album of one of the most talked about electro acts of the moment. one luxemburgish, one lebanese, one french, one musical language which takes its source from the academic knowledge of juilliard school of n.y.c. but raises itself above the classic, contemporary, rock and electronic genres. the first album of aufgang knocks down, surprises, and lays down matchless basis for reinterpretations. after >sonar< released earlier this year, here is the full lengh album ... future classic.

ltd repress !!! 3 stretched out and beefed-up edits of tracks that originally appeared as skits on the brilliant rockwell records label...tried and tested on the dancefloors of amsterdam - these are sure fire head rockers/ankle flexers!! >kutparra< is a contagious banger that makes you want to jump, like kriss kross used to do. >kutwell< comes as a catchy discofied house tune that reminds us of some detroit productions some years back.. this stays from though! >nosestep< finishes off in true aardvarck style.. a stripped down track with a bassline to kill for… bare essentials

the rising consciousness ep takes you on a tour of your own mind via two brilliant originals with remixes from techno veteran bryan zentz, and label head lets go outside. side a dives into the limbic system with the deep house masterpiece that is waving, surviving. its slick and sexy, creating a beautiful, wide space around its subtle textures, exhilarating swells, and tones which envelope you like a big hug. bryan zentz massive remix explores the frontal lobe further, managing to perfectly balance the plus 8 recording artists heavy dance floor genius with the warmth of the original. on the b side, rico tests your motor skills with skinless, a driving and playful tech house trip. this is raw fun dance music that slaps every neuron in your cerebral cortex with each step. sliding down and out the thalamus, slant label head lets go outside reworks >skinless< into an overwhelming, full blown body and brain workout.

restoration records highly awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up this hard times. captain power and the soldiers of the future will lead the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom. humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.
third side is the new operative group of restoration, formed by marieu, lucretio and by resident dj of panorama bar steffi (klakson/ostgut ton). >ready to dance< is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but minimalistic at the same time. very essential in its build-up, its bass line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. we are ready to dance, its time to jack!
analogue cops >chamber< is a strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. rushing percussions, piercy hi-hats, a breathless progression. an experiment which turns into a solid club tack.
on side b, >still me< represents lucretios vocation to neoclassicism. the time disappears and a gospel organ full of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on planet earth. dramatic and sweet, its evocative and hopeful. lucretios track on rst006 appears on tama sumos >panorama bar – mix cd<.
>mauzy< is marieus deepest track on restoration. beat-down smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp cymbals, a praising voice. a track for a spiritual elevation, a track to dance until the last second. a track to listen to a million of times.

the wurst edits gang has inducted yet another ny disco acolyte to the fold, the inimitable irishman in new york, eamon harkin. known for wild dj sets not to mention his innovative bookings at such parties as sunday best and fun, harkins no stranger to dance music. no wonder the mans shared bills with such legends as afrika bambaataa, juan atkins, grandmaster flash, the egyptian lover, and kevin saunderson. on his debut single, the man heads straight into peaktime territory with the sinister sounds of john boy, where synth toms jump out of the shadows only to punctuate an incredibly propulsive groove. innit takes a decidedly different turn down edits lane, rejuvenating an early 90s house gem in magnificently wurst fashion. extremely limited edition with handpainted covers

after sizes debut on adam beyers truesoul, size hits amsterdams 100% pure label with stripped down funky beats which are bound to work those big systems!

hot city is dropping some severely skewed house music, twisting it up with his own blend of jackin chicago house, 2step/ukg, and bass bumpers. with only two tracks sent out to a handful of the finest djs around in the past few months, he s secured two gigs playing out at wifey, certainly the most fun club in london at the moment, and managed to generate a fair amount of hype already:
- smash, this is a mega rave hit bro, nice one! - drop the lime (t&b / nyc)
- very nice, thanks for this, will def play it - hudson mowhawke (warp / glasgow)
- i really like both these tracks, kinda minimal garage, very cool - hannah holland (batty bass / london)
the tracks on this new 12 inch build on the momenetum, with two tracks of stripped down dancefloor killers - >yeah!< is a monster builder, all todd edwards style swing and tight edits with crazy deep kicks, chopped up vocals, old school piano stabs, soaring strings, and hands in the air breakdowns. already being played out by drop the lime (check his latest exclusive mix for fact magazine where he opens his set with >yeah!<). >head work< on the b side is on more of a masters at work/harddrive era tip - deep garage beats tripping over themselves, burbling oddity synths, shuffling snares and the weirdest vocal melody breakdown/build-up ever!
the originals are complimented on the 12 inch by two remixes - tvo takes yeah! to another dimension altogther with a head destroying 140bpm hardcore junglist remix. on the flip, san franciscos eats tapes take >head work< into the wonkiest area of minimalist techno, showcasing their totally unique take on future groove.
the ep has been mastered by the irrefutable shawn hatfield/twerks special touch, bringing out the strengths of each track and tweaked for that perfect crisp warm vinyl pressing.

london based masters of the groove berkson & what are back on pokerflat with another sublime excursion into deep flowing hypnotic and modern house music. the pairs infamous live show has taken them far and wide, delivering their detailed and unparalleled electronics from berlin to miami and back... now their story continues with the >ghosts ep<. the extended, jacking trip that is >ghosts< is a strong grooving reduced house track in the purest sense of the phrase. tough, tight chicago style beats flare and snap as a melancholic and mysterious synth motif dances around the funk-meets-dub bass sequence. all manner of ethereal spoken word passages, uplifting vocal meanderings and cuts are then intertwined in a complex ambiguous narrative that fills the room with the ghosts of house and soul music gone by... understated, uncompromising and super functional! next up the boys lay down a tribal house groover, full of thick keys, richly embellished drums and spiritual vibes a-plenty. no doubt first jammed out during one of their long studio sessions, the live feel and flowing arrangement opens up beautifully with soft key flourishes and tender vocal hooks.

the mysterious fat camp collective put down the hi energy, low calorie bars for a minute to take a leisurely stroll down memory lane with this 4 pack of high quality edits for your dancefloor workout ! anorak 004 is another sterling selection, and includes the much blogged about and honestly quite spectacular heavyweight paisley park funk-out of ‘100mph’ by mazerati - worth the price of entry alone, not forgetting the 3 other underground funk, disco & soul hits plucked from obscurity, given a shave and a haircut and served up all nice, fresh and plump for your continued listening pleasure

2nd e.p from basement soul aka greymatter via the kat label, which, in a similar vein to vol 1 hits hard bringing us 3 more edits with the sole intention of getting them feet firmly on the dancefloor and getting down proper. loads of support on this from horsemeatdisco, ashley beadle, domu etc.. chains is the teena marie beauty from 1980. ace funky disco with subtle (but very effective) cuts n beefed up drums. this edit rolls in at just over 7 mins and sounds all the mightier for it. newbans magic lady is a massive slab of afrocaribbean disco goodness pure n simple. horns…breakdowns…killa vocals and congas a plenty. girl watching is another funk-edged boogie big hitter. original by t-connection, greymatter takes the already massive original and takes things up a notch or two

its been almost a year since the release of efdemins fantastic two-tracker >america/the pulse<. >america<, that was also used on his curle mix-cd >carry on...<, became quite a big tune and even ended up on the number one spot in groove magazines chart. therefor efdemin preferred that no-one touched that track anymore, and we decided to give >the pulse< a remix treatment. john beltran is a highly respected artist that has been around since the early nineties - r&s! peacefrog! styrax! - and when we heard the ultra-funky mega-bomb he made from >the pulse<, we knew we made the right decision to ask him. another one of our long time favourites from accross the ocean is convextion aka e.r.p. he did some ground-breaking stuff on matrix, down low and frantic flowers. we asked him to do a remix of crcs amazing take on detroit techno, >vaskitsaherra<, originally on curle 009. the result ended up being nothing else than a timeless piece of art.
