zopelar is one of our dearest local prodigies. hailing from a small-town at the heart of brasil and devoting his life to music from an early age, his love for this artform grew stronger as he explored the myriad layers that sedimented into today s pop. further developments led him to a classical training in the craft and the result is a burgeoning trajectory to which this ep is a crucial moment. one marked by the inflection on his approach, until then heavily influenced synth pop and post punk to the epiphany that followed his discovery of electronic dance music. a discovery that is translated to perfection, both conceptually and emotionally, by the title track of this ep, >falling in love<.

beautiful 12 inch and lp by giles smith and martin dawsons joint project two armadillos. timeless tracks that pay tribute to the long heritage and an even longer future of house music. you can only fall in love with a tune such as >another one (for larry)< or >ronin<. pretty essential!

welcome to the first love sick recordings release brought to you by the likes of riskotheque, marchmellow and screen age & mudie (aka southbound hangers). a side >all alone< provides an exhilarating journey through heartbreak, loss and isolation. in the intro, delayed piano chords hint at distant happy memories but soon make way for stark 808s and womb-like sub frequencies that bring the listener back to bitter reality. insistent vocal snippets serve only to galvanize the tracks emotional content. truly a song to cry to as much as dance. in contrast to this is aa >you dont understand<. positivity and hope pervade this little beauty, its glistening synth hooks and intricate drum programming conjuring thoughts of joy and new found affection. perhaps the perfect sound-track to a summer romance.

downwards sidestep expectations again with this glorious limited 10inch vinyl release from tropic of cancer. two beautifully dark compositions that remind slightly of angelo badalamenti in >twin peaks< mode, or maybe reservoir dogs, if it had been filmed with a huge cavern as the soundstage. processed guitar and drones wash swampily over a simple drumbox beat, as eerie snatches of melody float in and out. as badalamenti himself said of his own work, >my (musical) world is a little bit dark... a little bit off-center. i think of it as tragically beautiful. that is how i would describe what i love best: tragically beautiful.< seems to sum this release up quite nicely too...

dubstep remixes by subscape / syndaesia & ed solo! big!

blackest ever black returns for 2011 with a new ep of crushing, sensuous darkwave pop from tropic of cancer follow up to the two much-loved 10inchs on downwards, >the dull age< and >be brave< tropic of cancer is the la-based duo of camella lobo and juan mendez. mendez is best known as silent servant, venerable techno producer, former cytrax boss and core member of the sandwell district collective. with lobo he makes raw, visceral music in the loose tradition of minimal synth, post-punk, industrial and goth, produced with authority and a supremely evolved grasp of spatial arrangement.

after the massive success of >dubsteppa<, no comply returns with two tracks aimed purely at the dancefloor. this is high-energy, contemporary dubstep at its finest. for those of you looking for sure-fire dancefloor smashers û this 12 inch certainly wont disappoint. keeping with the usual style, this 12 inch is hand-painted, and individually numbered, and extremely limited. the previous two releases are now very hard to find, so dont sleep on this.
dj support from: mistajam, rob da bank, caspa, trolley snatcha, 16bit, stenchman, funtcase, inspector dubplate, subscape, propatingz, mrk1, genetix, persist, suspect.

the third release of the new label >lets get lost< which was started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this third release is by uk producer extrodinaire leo zeros remix of the uks florence & the machine. this leo zero remix was released on only cd single and itunes in 2009. when i received this remix from the agent of leo zero i fell in love with it immediately. it was one of the biggest tracks for me in the last year but was never released on vinyl. leo zero reconstructed the aesthetic alternative rock (like a pumping cocteau twins!?) to very emotional house music. its simply good music and not only for the dance floor. greg wilson has edited it into a semi instrumental version which has never been released on any format. this release is official bootleg for limited press! dont miss it!!

another blaster ep on the strong special series imprint. get ready for some serious funky techno bizzle from all your favourit artists. first up its man of the moment a.paul remixing ramons track turning it into a true floorburner. a.paul trademark bassline and the uplifting synths stay on top.. next up the french mat303 and josh love. josh just had his debut on patterns and its doing really well! this is samba bussiness for all the carnival people. big hit for rio!claudio opens the flip with his incredible sound. he is relatively known, but creates music like his been here for ages. mature techno for the masses.

welcome to the world of mysterious organist & producer dan electro. dan electro is a charming guy who lives very far away from the sytem of babylon. his music is out of time... it carries the reminiscence of a time when people played music simply for the love of it... his touch is magnetic, mystical and inspired. dan electro musics really got soul. but the man has a complex background... for a long time, he played bass for the slow slushy boys, a band that still performs today one of the best rooted rythm & blues around the world. dan electro finds a great part of his inspiration within the universe of geniuses like louis jordan, eddie kirk, the five royales and the barefoot gospel divas sister rosetta tharpe or winona carr... and he is still involved in music that talks to both your ass and your soul... with a preference for the first !
the lucky discovery of farley jackmaster funks >fix me< revealed dan electro the connections between black music at its core roots and contemporary house music. shortly after, he started producing some amazing tunes that felt like love affairs between old church organs and mad computers... sung by ageless preachers & divas. his music has been played by djs such as gilles peterson, joey negro, sumo, recloose, dj morpheus, spiritual south, nick v, michael rutten, rainer truby, nik weston, unabombers, erik rug, philarmonix, patchworks, stevie sole... radios as bbc 1, frequence jazz, xfm scotland, radio fg, compost radioshow... enjoy !

aux-rec is being launched by airdrop records as an offshoot label designed with a specific mission in mind: to look back and pay tribute. aux-rec surveys musical history looking for those inspiring pieces of music (famous or forgotten) that carry a very distinctive groove and identity, and that offer the potential to be revisited in an ingenious contemporary way. at airdrop, we love music of all ages and of many genres! we feel aux-rec is a way for our artists and for us to pay our due respects to the origins and the evolution of contemporary dance music.
the existing airdrop roster of artists will be invited to contribute to aux-rec, but different artists will also be uncovered specifically for this project. off to a fresh start, franco cinelli and club rayo (a duo composed by rafael sorol and pablo terreil) engrave their long-time friendship on this record. franco cinellis first productions were released on the duos imprint club rayo disquets at the beginning of the millenium. the club rayo collective has been extremely active in the local argentinean scene for more than twelve years now.
going back to one of music historys greatest classics, >fever<, franco cinelli and club rayo bring their own interpretations to a theme that has known as many versions than people taking a sing at it in the shower! using ella fitzgeralds and elvis presleys voices, club rayo create repsectively the fitzgerald mix - a rocking dancefloor jam looping ellas fantastic voice bringing it to a culmination - and the king dub - a 118 bpm groove punctuated by elvis low-pitched and resonant tone. cuerdas is a short guitar instrumantal rendition of the fever theme. on his remix, franco cinelli creates a 10 minutes drum symphony, especially designed for the post-climatic hours. both producers kept in mind ellas famous quote when undertaking this great enterprise: >i stole everything i ever heard, but mostly i stole from the horns.<
the following releases on aux-rec will also be in the form of bootlegs, edits, re-works or samples (you name it). they will bring back memories to your heads and mostly the groove to your feet. to be true to its mission of a vintage exploration, aux-rec will be releasing exclusively on vinyl, in the tradition of the essential music format of the 20th century. there will be no digital releases at aux-rec. in the pipeline are soul claps edit of laid backs >bakerman< as well as le loups version of sheila es >a love bizarre<, produced by prince.
also played and supported by agnes, butane, ripperton...

kyle hall graces us with another jazzy off kilter ear catching release, except this time hes not alone. kyle and four other young midwest musicians come together as bsmnt city anymle kontrol for the title track the perfekt sin, a real soul hitter. one of them is dorian fiddler son of heavy weight detroit producer amp fiddler, letting loose on live drums at age 17. love kontrol is an emotion steering eccentric groover thats sure to excite the senses with its elegant uplifting melodies. oatn out is a rhythm challenging avant garde dusty retarded joint that is a must listen to for the people who enjoy breaking the tempo and arent afraid to throw your average 4 on floor pocket out the window.
