with his second release for planet mu this year, >dream on< is more of a full-length outing for ital aka daniel martin-mccormick and a much more substantial record than the popular and critically acclaimed >hive mind<.
on >dream on< ital takes his experimentation with house and techno forms even further, creating impressionistic deconstructions from the tropes of early house and techno. sunny chords, laid back drum shuffle and rhythmic vocal loops are picked apart and threaded with a rich psychodrama of delirious textures, tidal chords and uneasy roughness and dissonance.
vinyl format ships with digital download code.

the pain sat deep inside his chest – even a little further behind.
the world can exist without me, the world can exist without me - he repeats it again and again in a monotonous inflection.
what do you want to do now?

nice price deal !!! next question of time strike, a bit more melodic

romes egisto sopor has been making little waves with his releases for quite a while now. since we have known him he has released a cdr album on legowelts strange life records and put a cassette out on the much admired 100% silk label, both under the name polysick. as theawayteam he has released a dvd >relax & sleep< and a cd >star kinship< on japanese label moamoo. he is also one half of the low key video unit aavv, whose work has graced many of the important releases of new lofi electronic movement.
well, here is his first album proper >digital native<, 15 tracks of glowing, nocturnal, analogue grace that hark back to acid house and early techno, but with a mood and intent that seems to be designed for watching images dance on closed eyelids. it is no surprise that his work as a video artist resonates so strongly with the music he makes.
double 12 inch vinyl, including code for free mp3 download of the album.

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

after last years very popular and widely acclaimed album >severant<, kuedo returns with this emotionally epic, dancefloor detonator of a track originating from the same sessions.

das indie rock-quartett the plea stammt aus dem kleinen irischen dorf ballyliffin, und nachdem sie im letzten jahr die ep >nothin but trouble< veröffentlichten, erscheint nun ihr debütalbum auf planet function. produziert und abgemischt wurde >the dreamers stadium< von chris potter, der unter anderem auch the verves >urban hymns< oder i am kloot produziert hat. the plea überzeugen mit druckvollen, hymnischen songs voller hingabe und dringlichkeit.

soon-to-be-stadium rock ... it could be played to fireworks on the pyramid stage at glastonbury. (q magazine)

we are really happy to be able to release this new ep from protect-u on planet mu.
protect-u is the studio project of mike petillo and aaron leitko, who are associated with the new breed of dance music producers from in and around washington dc, coming from a similar background as ital, innergaze and beautiful swimmers, with a history of playing alongside mi ami, blues control, slava, steve moore & pissed jeans, among others. mike is also co-owner of the very cool record label future times, alongside andrew field-pickering a.k.a. maxmillion dunbar, who is also one half of beautiful swimmers.

all tracks written and produced by carl craig

the classic 1996 paperclip people album by carl craig gets remastered for a brand new 2012 edition on double lp. spanking new artwork too...!

last step is an alias used by aaron funk, whom you may know as venetian snares. his new adventure is called >sleep< and - as the title suggests - it is a collection of compositions that funk recorded quite literally as he was falling asleep.

second in a series of releases based on capturing the energy and culture of uk pirate radio but going way beyond that as the project unwinds. limited press. the eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted which celebrated producer is behind this excellent, killer two-tracker - he has had releases out on planet e, hot flush and phonica too!

with surprise cut on center ... after the success of the first release, tanstaafl returns for their second wax adventure, this time with the musical renegade dj october at the helm. october has entered a new phase of production for the tanstaafl series and has focused himself firmly on a reduced, stripped and effective formula for the floor. his productions are heavy, smoked out narcoleptic dub infused journeys, and his latest 12 offers more or less of the same opaque vibe but with his sights firmly set on the floor, with one foot in the past and the other in the future - drawing from his usual detroit, nyc and chicago influences. so we kick off 2012 with a future classic, singularity jump, which douses you in synthesized saxophone hooks, chopped vocal samples and a meaty juno hip-house inspired bass-line.planet of minds is more of a inner space affair very much inspired by acid and dub. successfully combining the two, october injects more of an airy feel into the mix and delivers a moody cosmic acid jam that will not fail your dancing feet or tripped-out mind. definitely one for the later hours.this is going to be an anthem, hands down, so get it before its gone for good.

relentless straight forward old school acid tunes from dresden, germany... for those who remember beverly hills 808303 or early acid planet releases ... that type of masculine and tough tracks. raw, analogue no mercy kind of music! first come first serve!

once again some special sounds and atmosphere on fdb recordings with a pure miami style electro 12. magotron & debonaire brought out here some very well produced piece music that could take u back in the early 90s in an eye blink. special project ltd 300.

vinyl only release from lobster boy. immense production on this new 12 inch. taking in influences from the full spectrum of uk music. from uk funky, to garage to dubstep to house and even some jungle bass vibes. truly a unique piece of studio work. dj support from redlight & oneman.

banging c2 remix of hurting by friendly fires. vocal and instrumental mixes on a 12 inch version.

whatever the case may be, >brother from another planet< is a giddily kaleidoscopic beast of an ep that further cements andreas already sturdy reputation as a preeminent mediator of organic yet minimalistic techno.

hailing from greeces capital, the duo keep shelly in athens have been the toast of the blog world for a while now, and their first ep for planet mu is in keeping with a consistent level of odd synth-pop that the label has released this year from tropics to vezelay, heterotic to solar bears.

if you have heard daniel martin-mccormicks name recently, it would probably have been either in association with his disco/punk/echo band mi ami, or as sex worker on the not not fun label, or finally as ital on nnfs sister label 100% silk, recording quite different sounding house music to this album. raised in washington dc, daniel has a history in the citys hardcore scene, he was in the dischord records signed black eyes, but was also making dance inspired tracks at the same period, but coming from a very different angle from your average guy with a copy of logic and a working knowledge of dance musics history.
