>when an idea first comes to you, it has an intrinsic power. you have to try to remember the way you felt when the idea first came to you and to remain faithful to that< - david lynch a1: >whats her name again?< - a fluorescent, rnb influenced house track. a2: >whats my name again?< - the first tracks dark and twisted little sister. b1: >the drift< - a hypnotic journey into the wild. b2: >monte sacro< - imagine climbing a mountain of flashing lights.

two massive hits from the past which have been brought back into the light of the day by michael mayer.

last year put leeds-based producer midlands (aka harry agius) name on the map with his successful collaboration with hessle audios ramadanman, >your words matter< on aus music. this year, aus label chief will saul has invited midland back to take a solo swing. its an excursion that explores the boundaries of 2-step, uk garage and techno and consists of two original tracks. on the a side >through motion< shows midlands ability to seamlessly take the spirit of uk garage and fuse it with techno. the tracks moody piano melody is punctured by a dark, pitch-shifted vocal and encircled by the warm atmospherics that have become his trademark. on the flip side is >shelter<, a brooding and cavernous affair whose vocals and whispery atmospherics make this the perfect late night tool.

benoit & sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. in the washington dc duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for dfa (the acclaimed boy trouble ep) and visionquest (the lovelorn where the freaks have no name ep), dc duo benoit & sergio return to spectral sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. and >let me count the ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that ive loved.< as the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey. the b-sides >let me count the ways (autumn version)<is a vastly different take on the original?s maximalist swell. stripping the beat back to its bare essentials and building them up again over nearly 12 minutes, the >autumn version< recalls arthur russell?s more minimal moments down to its wobbly bass filigree and mumbled vocal samples. by the end of the track, the claps are falling on the twos and fours like crinkly foliage, synths are sizzling like firewood, and benoit & sergio?s newest banger is revealed in its full glory once again.

the response to sven kacireks album the kenya sessions (pingipung 20) was overwhelming. the cooperation between the drummer-producer from hamburg and musicians from kenya links electroni- ca with african recordings in a unique, exciting fa- shion. it therefore has been and still is being praised in various scenes from techno to jazz to world mu- sic. the cd will receive the award preis der deut- schen schallplattenkritik in may 2011, category: nu and extreme. also friends of the label have been enthusiastic about e quality of this material. pingipung therefore re- leases a 10inch vinyl with reworks of the album in the end of may. lawrence, hamburgs most melancholy house artist, co-owner of the labels dial, smallville and laid dedicates himself to the track kayamba tuc tuc. he reduces the track to its essen- ce, without adding anything new, and edit full of wisdom with heartfelt warmth. taprikk sweezee is the best known moniker of the musician nikolai von sallwitz next to gizmog or fussel . taprikk sweezee builds his soul glitch beats with ease, and he is by the way the most convincing electronic performer we know these days. one single track was not enough for his mix. wed love to see him dance with all the kenyan musicians who play on his two originals of choice, kayamba tuc tuc and mariae. furthermore on this 10inch: a rework of paperflowers by sven kacirek himself, created in cooperation with samy de- luxe producer sebastian winkler. finally, less a bonus but maybe the secret highlight: the ex- clusive sven kacirek track takaye village!

breakin bread continue to support the specialist soul and funk scene with a release from edenheight. they are not a new band, these guys have been gigging hard all over bristol and the south west, but it is their debut vinyl release. its not just another new funk offering, the band have a tightness from all the gigs and 2 superb female vocalists that make these tracks stand out from the pack.
edenheight are a deep-groovin and original outfit with a soulful urban sound. forged in bristol, their list of influences favour more percussive styles including afro, funk, hip hop + dub, and as such dance-ability is a precedent. this standard owes as much to an evolution in the citys underground live scene as to their appreciation of high energy musicianship and production.

peters love of obscure disco and house shows in this solo album - wide ranging influences have gone into the musical hot-pot. take the slo-mo lazy groove of lead track and opener love is the key . this sets the sonic palette, laid back, underground and understated (but cucumber cool) throughout. deliberately absent are the commercial and pseudo-poppy sounds from the visti and meyland 2010 debut. this record is a club affair, less in your face and more all around you . for example lost in space is one part elastic groove, one part melodious, enveloping ambience and one part progressive disco groove. tracks such as i m out the door , bubble bubble and drinking in darkness are more direct, straight dance floor booty-shaking grooves. as is what you would expect from the man who has dj stamped firmly into his dna.

after the success of the massive >so be it< alongside crystal clear on cold blooded recordings, rhythmbeater returns to cutterz choice with 2 bangers which showcase his versatility as a producer. first up we have >never ending story<, a melodic piece of drum and bass with a euphoric intro that builds up to a warm powerful bass, driven along by crisp rolling beats. rhythmbeater gives us another huge slice of jump up with >murder sound<.

this single is the second of five from >shadow & lightening< and delivers two immense slices of filthy-yet-funky drum & bass that herald great things for the forthcoming album.

here comes 2001 so lets all head for the sun!
an experimental surf dance quintet. fixers have been playing and recording together for just under a year, blending the sixties psychedelic childlike innocence of brian wilson and bruce haack with the spaced out eighties avant-garde dance of arthur russell, dead can dance and tom tom club.

a little quiet so far this year but now one of the new power generation drum & bass production crews are back with an absolutely sick two part ep that is anything but quiet. michael willer and robert stefan aka body & soul have been busy, very busy creating what is undoubtedly their most explosive release to date on their own nasca records. get ready for a great big bag of awesome!
part 1 lets rip with the title track >shipwrecked<, with an ominous intro it sets the scene perfectly for whats to come with an outrageously horrid bass that snarls and pulls at its lead, snapping at anything that comes close. you d better start running though because when that lead breaks its gonna get you! add a nasty vox and the package is complete. demolition drum and bass that’s ready to take out the whole club!

dance to the radio have teamed up with their good friends brew records to bring you a very special and limited edition 10 inch ep.
with leeds currently at the forefront of the uk alternative rock scene, this release is further proof of why its the place to be. from the straight up power hardcore rock n roll from dolphins (ex this et al) to the expertly executed noise rock of blacklisters, the noise hop of castrovalva and the fantastically skewed, melodically-inventive hawk eyes (previously known as chickenhawk & their first release under the new name), this is not a release for everyone. those of a nervous disposition need not apply.

christopher is one half of niederflur, who have been releasing music on richie hawtin s minus label for over eight years, with several twelve-inch releases and an outstanding full length album!

so it was a massive pleasure that maya chose 2020vision for her next full single release. when we discussed the project with her we agreed it was vital to put together a single that truly reflected her diverse tastes and skills. the title track >focus now< is a unique work that will be hard to even categorise. reminiscent of early matthew jonson records >focus now< features delicate synth sequences weaving in and out of intricate rhythms. it sounds amazing on big systems, like at fabric, where it was road tested by ralph lawson at the recent 2020vision party. it is one to drop at the right time to make a real change in mood and set direction. we then have >little one< which is a solid deep house groove, simple but effective. vocal snippets are added by mjc herself on both tracks but her true vocal talents are shown on >senseless<...

finally dessous key-artist vincenzo is back in the spotlight with his third full length album. some 9 years after ‚welcome to zanarkand, his last long-player, the berlin based producer has been making magic in the studio, crafting what is sure to be his greatest work yet. taken from the cd version of >wherever i lay my head< these 10 tracks form a glorious journey through rich, spiritual and stunningly crafted electronic sounds. vincenzos cristal clear production and years of writing experience have culminated in this heroic new work

we are proud to present the first release of french artist nhar on 200 records. we have always been deeply impressed by the unique and sublime sound of nhar – heard on numerous releases on labels like wir, modelisme, time has changed, sonic culture, mina and many more. megumi and bluedrop both have everything, we expect from tracks released on our label: two brilliant, timeless, deep and majestic dance floor tunes.

the second release on johannes volks own label exploration. >energy field< is a powerful peak time bomb, growing with each passing second! the title track >across the emptiness< comes with a wall shaking sub-bass, stormy chords and a retro-futuristic sound design. on the b side we have >isolation<, a dub infected piece of music with complex organic textures. and finally >devoted to microgravity< with its heavy drums, toms and cowbells. vinyl only!
