solid 4 tracker - his second for this label and following on various releases on l.i.e.s., dog in the night, odd frequencies and such!

hungarian imprint farbwechsel has built up a varied and interesting discography over its 4 years of existence. this limited edition cassette from bouchons d orelles deviates slightly from the label s normal aesthetic, taking a more industrial/drone route with the original tracks. the remixes are also a fantastic and well thought-out edition to the release, with the s.olbricht remix standing out.

floating astronomical objects and the void in between – jon hester enters the dystopian circle with four gravity manipulating techno tracks coming directly through the wormhole. jon hester got his start in the midwest us, living in chicago, minneapolis, and connecting with detroit. after years on the dance floor he took to the decks, going on to work in a record shop, host his own events, and hold residencies that developed his sound. music production and a move to berlin followed, but dancing and mixing are still the inspirations that drive him to create. his dj sets are built on physical rhythms and adventurous programming, effortlessly combining diverse varieties of techno and house. with an engaging presence and a knack for telling a story, he builds a unique connection with each audience, and works any room until it sweats.

the ancient haruspex used to read chicken liver in a bid to predict the future and foresee natural disasters. taking influence from this technic, fango embarked on a long insular trip, reflecting down till the depths of his own soul. the outcome of this arcane ritual is viscera, a series of 3 ep s focused on the pure essence of fangos artistic delirium.

celebrating our 20th release, glasgows dave clark returns to optimo trax as sparky. he was responsible for the third release on the label as luma which featured the club smash -john broadwood- and recently had another big club hit with signals- on numbers. we are delighted to welcome him back in what is a contunuation of a relationship that stretches back further than we care to remember. all four tracks here are certified dancefloor winners, from the reach for the lasers, kickless things fall apart through the synth rhapsodies of black swan and my prophet, climaxing in the jacking seven daggers. all killer, no filler is often a trite cliche in these blurbs but is entirely true in the case of this ep.

lp document of the first collaboration between oren ambarchi, kassel jaeger (of editions mego) and james rushford (who s projects include manhunter and food court on the kye label, and ora clementi on penultimate press). two side-long pieces recorded at grm studios, paris in 2014, comprising of distinct layers that gently rise up and recede, pale calling obeys a dream-logic that feels entirely disconnected from traditional electro-acoustic composition, forming surreal sonic images in which half-remembered fragments of everyday life mix with the quiet intensity of dreams haunted by natural forces.

stripped down puristic techno/house rhythm tracks.

following the release of the -eleccio- mix cd in 2014, especial has continued on it s path to develop and push a club sound that is slightly more leftfield than the on-going boompty house rehash, the mutation of nu-disco in to something a bit more proggy, trancey and the never ending thud-drug-chug of the 110 bpm ableton-for-beginners brigade, by offering a mixture of musically psychedelic, twisted, dubbed-out, proto-obsessed club eps.

a passion for techno has always run deeply through his music and under his trevino moniker he is also a powerful creative force (check his recent front album to get the full picture). here, he takes transmission breakdown on a magical excursion, filled with subtle, hypnotic, evolving energy, anchored with an irresistible pul- sating bassline throb - a perfectly synergetic interpretation to round off jona s sidetracking album prologue in style.

having issued a mini album from fuxa earlier this year, stuart leaths tireless emotional response welcomes the detroit band back to the label with an album recorded alongside neil mackay of loop fame. apollo soyuz was originally released digitally earlier this year via bandcamp, but you can see why leath would want to license it for a proper vinyl edition. the eight tracks form an exploration of the outer cosmos that is tinged with a deep psychedelia that will resonate warmly with fans of emotional response. from the space funk of the opening apollo soyuz, fuxa and mackay lead the listener through galactic kosmische, spatial ambience and primal tape loop experiments and more with testz 1 a considered highlight.

conceived and recorded quickly over only a few brief yet intense studio sessions.

japanese producer takuya matsumoto first surfaced back in 2001 on a split release with compatriot kouji nagahashi (seek out the rubicon) but its more recently hes been getting the attention his classy house productions deserve.

person of interest, highly sought after and could be lurking in the shady corners under brooklyns jmz line. on his l.i.e.s. debut we get soupy remanants of what could be called garage house, pieces of high octane techno, and one slow burning grisled tooth number to close this three track ep out. a strong showing and undoubtedly one to keep your eyes on.

pulsating, outer-space jazz / techno hybrids rooted universal groove excursions.

infrastructure introduce a new artist to the roster, with a brand new talent known only as post scriptum. post scriptum 01 is the debut full length album from the anonymous producer, to be released on 2 x 12inch and cd. quickly following the first ever post scriptum track to be released, human timescales featured on berghain 07 - part i (ostgut ton 86), this stunning full length thoroughly outlines the sonic intentions of the project over 11 other-worldy track

fine, from out there footwork-ing to chilled downbeat alike house ep.

at once foreign and familiar, desert sound colony brilliantly scores a nostalgic journey through the proverbial looking glass. the plaintiff vibe of the way i began envelopes the listener in warm guitar licks and hushed vocals, transporting them to a time when innocence and insecurity gave way to transcendence. the road takes a turn with fire egg, a classic stomper that drives introspection with looping guitar melody and bouncy bass. and before we return to size, iris carries us further inward with scattered claps and a skipping kick, before releasing us into a deep and chugging, eyes-wide-shut, euphoric roller.

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.

stunningly beautiful double-pack from och for autoreply music s 20th release. following on from output on renowned labels like pal sl, trelik, bass culture he returns to autoreply with seven tracks of playable perfection. by focusing on stripped-back percussive grooves, sparse 909 drum-programming and ultra fine-tuned dynamics he certainly proves with tracks -samarkand sulci- and -snarecrow- that the original jackin house/techno sound will always have plenty of life and soul. -don t fight it- is an 8.5 minute acid builder featuring haunting vocals and crisp synths whilst the bass driven dub of -enceladus- wouldn t be complete without live delays and distorted pianos. check out -morning glory- for a surprise contender for this years balearic soundtrack or -c ring- for ultimate warmth. tracks for every situation and not to be missed!

something tells me this ones gonna be big. uzuri 020 comes from jitterbug, and its great to have him back. followers of the label will be very familiar with this producers work, even if they know very little about the man himself. im not going to shatter the mystique.

next up to join the mos deep cannon is stephen lopkin, who serves up four new cuts on his the haggis trap ep.

the second coming. finlands otherworldly electro lords blastromen return to the dominance electricity mothership to deliver their much anticipated second longplayer. the eight new compositions featured on *reality opens* continue where their debut album *human beyond* left off in the year 2010 and lead straight to the next level. sophisticated arangements with epic synth melodies and atmospheres, haunting electro breakbeats and elaborate vocoderized lyrics prove once again that blastromen are a class of their own.

raucherecke are back with their third release on 200 records. they shaped their unique techno style in the last years, so that they are distinctive now as you could hear lastly on their >papierfabrik ep< on treibstoff. till krüger did the remix for the title track >malibu< – a perfect choice.

taron-trekka as a dj & producer duo posses the gift to make people happy, in that they implant in their souls powerfully deep music. the two gentlemen call aloud from the cellar: can we kick it? the audience answers back dancing: yes you can! and so it goes on their second release, for the enthusiast label milnormodern run by treplec, which has managed to carve some room when it comes to puffed out beats. the release cycle is a gentle process. in this way such sonic pearls unfold develop to their fullest, without drowning in a flood.
oooh, a milnormodern – put it right in the box, ahhh a taron-trekka. i ll take that without having to even hear it...
what taron-trekka does from the wide field of deepness is fashion a diversity of color and that certain thump that fits right in-between their compositions. regardless of whether a piece sounds a little held back, somehow it produces a booom. for them, dancing is the vertical expression of the joi de vivre of the body members, based on the horizontal fantasy and an empathy for the physical.

two cuts of killer techno by a made up sound.

roman flügel – third take. hot on the heels of >brian le bon< and the >desperate housemen ep<, the man like roman iv, soylent green and alter egos spectacled half supplies four tracks of heavenly proportions. ramona doesnt even know where to start with her eulogy, but at the start.

we are very proud and honered to release this ep by function aka dave sumner from sandwell district. one of technos true underground heroes, function (dave sumner) has been djing and making music for over 15 years. hailing from new york, he was seduced by techno music when jeff mills held a residency (as well as his own first) at the limelight in the early 90s. dave started to produce music and from the mid-90s onwards, put out music on damon wilds synewave and his own infrastructure imprint. together with regis (karl o connor) he worked as portion reform, putting out uncompromising music on downwards and becoming the only non-birmingham producer to release on the label. in 2008 dave moved to berlin, still working with regis, and now silent servant (john mendez), put his focus on the acclaimed sandwell district imprint. obsessed is a supper powerfull floating track for the dancefloor, a typical function production. this ep also contains remixes from substance and scb aka scuba, both peak-time tracks.

damn fine to dance to musical recording produced by garben eden from düsseldorf

this 12 inch with remixes from popnoname, korablove, gorje hewek and khz is a tribute to moscows synth pop and new wave shooting star pompeya. the bands music sounds so fresh and well produced that we couldnt not notice and thus we had our pro-tez artists remix it for your listening pleasure. as a result we are proud to present a remix single which offers a house, a disco, a dub and a synth pop version of the original hit >90<. pompeyas music might be compared to musical styles of death cab for cutie and postal service but it has their exhilarating original sound to it. we present a killer remix single from the forthcoming album >tropical<. listen!

perfect for fans of ricardo villalobos / perlon !!! just when we thought that thomas melchior and peter frank adshead had hung up their soul capsule boots and settled on sporadic solo work, they come belting back with two releases in a matter of months on peter fords trelik label. >deep dawn<, up first, is typically soul capsule. dark, twisted techno thats made for dark spaces and dark minds. sporting low, reverbed basslines that throb along to breathy and indecipherable vocals, >deep dawn< and <new day dawn< project the same eyes closed, foot stomping attack on their listeners as each other

excellent deep and dubby spaced out double vinyl album , serious stuff !

artillery is one of the hardest techno labels around and labelowner dj amok is still able to find the creme de la creme of hard techno time after time.. this time its time for the man himself to repressent and he does it with the infamous stormtrooper! a big release for the label to celebrate its 20th release. you know what to expect..

schwer überzeugende technogeschütze vom ex punk-rocker aus brooklyn. komplex, düster, durschlagend und nebenbei das beste was adultnapper bisher gemacht hat

don t let the buzz die. look! he s so surprised he s blushing…or is that just the glow? (blue glow-in-the-dark)
