armand (26 jahre, synths & drum machines) und clara (25 jahre, vocals & drum machines) lernten sich auf einer kunsthochschule bei paris kennen. er schwört auf den techno des berühmten warp-labels, sie sang bei den garage-rockern cannery terror. nach ersten diy-shows stieß das hippe label cracki records auf agar agar, 2016 erschien die debüt-ep -cardan-, auf der clara erstmals ihre rolle als hohepriesterin des goth auslebte: eine art wiedergeburt von siouxsie im gewand von donna summer. stücke, die klingen wie ein diskoider schamanischer trip, dunstig und ultra-langsam, ein aufruf zu besessenheit und hingabe. zwei jahre danach sind ihre konzerte monate im voraus ausverkauft. nun erscheint ihr mit spannung erwartetes debütalbum -the dog and the future-, wieder mit dem markenzeichen von agar agar: claras hingebungsvolle stimme schwebt über makellose, dunstige slow-disco instrumentals. es ist ein melancholisches, nostalgisches und zugleich poppig-futuristisches album, das sich thematisch um die virtuelle realität, um simulationen des lebens, um hunde und um die liebe dreht, und vor augenzwinkern in richtung pop-kultur, vor labyrinthischen rätseln und opium-geschwängerten schwingungen nur so strotzt. es oszilliert zwischen granatapfel großen herzen, einem himmel aus schatten, dem dunst der erde, mystischen zuckungen und dem schwarzen leder des nihilismus der neuen blank-generation.

the maghreban returns to r&s for a new single following his dark debut album 01deas, perhaps with an icier sound. monster vip is a reworking of a double time rap track from the maghrebans strange u side project he added breaks and rolled it out. end level bosses lurk. beware of the monster. rave navel-gazing back to his roots: his first ever release was a jungle 12inch in 1994. early support from ben ufo. on the flip, batu (timedance/xl) offers up crisp percussion and ominous sound design in his energetic 140 remix of album opener eddies. then the ep is closes out with carpet bombing, the title of which references the producer adding more and more notes to the main percussive motif as it builds and builds.

harlem s legendary disco label queen constance has long been a cult favourite among fans of underground dance music for decades. one of many labels operating under the equally legendary p&p family of imprints queen constance was operated by one peter brown, a truly colossal figure in nyc s music scene, it s catalogue still fascinates music lovers to this day. covering a wide range of styles including gospel, early rap and disco the label s output continually finds it way into the playlists of respected dj s and selectors across the globe. high fidelity will be the first in a series of queen constance rarities to be reissued, an extremely rare and coveted record that can change hands on the second hand market for big big money, avoid those low rent bootlegs that are out there and cop this fully licensed repress. the group s self-titled sole long-player is a fantastic 6 track set of gritty, soulful and uplifting funky disco with a diy edge. not too much is known about the artists themselves, or even when the record was performed, recorded or released but it certainly sounds like a group who knew their craft inside out. the energy is high across the record and the group sound like they re on fire, just check the outrageously funkified magic carpet and you ll see what we mean. amazing. the whole project has that enchanting lo-fi, back-street feel to it in terms of production and the mind boggles as to how such a record would have come off had it been recorded at a motown or any other big studio, but no matter as this release is perfect the way it is, an essential piece of street-level nyc disco straight from the underground.

in october 2016, members from the afro cuban band compro oro, funk and soul congregation big whoop and electronic duo sue avenue, submitted themselves to the windowless walls of the desolated buildings of the american theatre in brussels (be) to engage in experiment. the resulting nine hours and forty minutes of jams were edited and arranged to the final tracks on this carrier.

the super sounds of the seventies is a selection of seminal and sometimes wacky hits by artists such as stealers wheel, harry nilsson and joe tex. the movie also raised public interest in the dutch band george baker selection, due to the use of his “little green bag” in the film’s opening titles.

over 3 years ago, casey tucker was thrust into the limelight after 15 years in the shadows. never truly getting the recognition for is detroit influenced and post rave sound in the 90s, for those that knoe reissued some of casey s classic material and unearthed some gems on dat in 2013. fast forward to the current day and a recent treasure trove was uncovered and some fresh dats untouched since the late 90s were discovered! ben promptly bought a dat player on ebay and shipped it to casey s home for the un-dusting to commence. fttk has worked with casey to present another round of authentic material spread across a further three eps. the track carpet dancer has been in demand since the fine balance recordings gained deserved attention. originally featuring as the a side on the very first fine balance ep, it evokes all of the emotions that caseys music can muster. juxtaposition is a slower groovy effort with meandering chords, trademark fizzy percussion and topped off with a lush string finale. whatever comes to mind rounds off the ep with a rolling percussive bassline, delicate arps and smooth sweeping pads.

giallo soundtracks, drag queens, psychotropic cacti, back patches, hi-nrg, sunglasses at night, tape echo, jack o lanterns, rave rain: these are just a few of your favorite things that you might find in squirrels on film, the new record label from san francisco veterans solar and brian hock, aka c.l.a.w.s. what youll hear isnt quite techno, house, disco, or dub, but a syrupy melange of all of the above and then some. it s dance music for those who don t fit in and for djs who regard genre as a suggestion, not a rule.

red axes s massive waiting for a surprise gets new remixes from heavy hitters audion, moscoman, manfredas and multi culti label-man thomas von party. the jewel in the crown of israels underground music scene, red axes have produced a steady stream of hits on labels like permanent vacation, i m a cliché, crosstown rebels, and the freaky all-inclusive multi culti where they dropped what became, somewhat surprisingly, their biggest hit to date with waiting for a surprise. the dark, stripped down disco bomb had one of the most memorable hooks of the year in singer abraos staccato chorus, a late night voodoo incantation that was always begging to be remixed

limited repress of this 1997 classic deep house release by theo parrish, first for his sound signature imprint.

following massive props recently via industry tastemakers from fact to four tet, pedram s music continues to define him as an ever growing and exciting producer to check out and with his latest track cloned this holds truer than ever. pedram doesn t fit into one particular electronic genre easily swimming up stream against the steady flow of tempo, style and sound.

dedikate jumps in wedits /#4: a. a heavy disco banger guaranteed not to leave your head after you hear it - b1. a fitting b-side edit of one of the dirtiest to ever do it- b2. new school twist to a new wave classic

mancunian duo system2 are up next on viva music, with four high-energy tracks that wouldnt have sounded out of place at the hacienda.

phillip lauers zweites album klingt als hätte eine band der vergangenheit musik geschaffen, die in weit entfernter zukunft erst gehört wird,... gereift und in bester soundqualität erhalten: borndom!

following recent releases on nick curlys 8 bit and steve bugs poker flat imprints respectively, carlos joins the electronique family for his latest ep instantly hitting the mark with some chunky tech house grooves across the 2 original cuts. remixes are supplied by legendary french producer jef k and viva musics detlef

as one of the more distinctive minimal house operators in these times, ion ludwig makes for a snug fit over at trelik towers, and with this three tracker its not hard to see why his records vanish quicker than you can say baby ford. 46 lj + felix ballad is a refined groover with a fine balance between gritty low end chunk and gossamer top-end, working subtle hits of bass and illustrious string sweeps into the mix to great effect. em carpet meanwhile darts out into more obscure territory, keeping the beats to a minimum and focusing on warm and fuzzy synth tones cycling

limited coloured double vinyl in gatefold sleeve, includes mp3 download card.

the shifted flow 002 ep sees another diverse release from matthew burton & kate rathod. the five tracker also has a couple of collaborations. a2 sees matthew team up with friend, tattooist, and lover of all things analog, bangla design (george from the island of cyprus). while on the flip side b1 sees matthew & kate along side their favourite producer and old friend blm. the whole ep is packed full of moody atmospheric textures and vibes which can be enjoyed at home spaced out or on a dark sweaty dance floor in equal measure

total control dislocate expectations with this inaugural home loan records 12 inch. not the charged up paranoid vox/guitar/drums combo that we have become accustomed to through their visceral live shows - instead men with machines producing pensive proto-tech experiments and tense industrial wave. includes the original version of carpet rash which was re-recorded in full band mode for henge beat, and two previously unreleased immersive rhythm tracks formed through collaboration between guitarist mikey young and drummer james vinciguerra. vinciguerra would fire deranged beats down the hole while young would jam over them, watching waves in a trance from his perch at phillip island. on the flip we find two reconstructions from home loan manager michael ozone. carpet rash receives the club re-contextualisation with ozone fully utilising its penetrating synth hook, while new age hop climbs the arabic scale.

black vinyl pressing, including a2-sized poster.

after the club tropicana sounds of bang the bomb its time to roll the sleeves up and get down to the business end of this trip. touching down on planet subturanus in search of the real underground shit light sound dark do not disappoint digging deep into its core and excavating strange alien like sonics which had previously been lying dormant.

wilde calm is proud to present string figures, the latest project from pocketknife working under his new moniker boonlorm. a six track album featuring piano not piano house music created solely with a prepared piano and raw drum programming that pays homage to chicago, detroit, and the 20th century avant-garde.

the highly anticipated squeaky lobster ep has been worth every second of the wait. in terms of sample / synth selection, song structure and sound quality, no expense has been spared. hi-fi synthetic drums intertwine with lo-fi sampled kicks & snares whilst heavy stretched out synth bass lines are topped with bollywood-esque string samples, 80s guitar bridges & plenty of other orchestral mayhem. the lush, thick melodic layers mount up into a frequently spine-tingling whole whilst the rhythm section, although outside the box, does by no means neglect the headnod factor. the incredible feat here is that although no 8 bars are quite the same as the next, a sense of unity is preserved within each genre-defying track, making it the stuff of epic journeys. you may start your listening experience in front of your turntable, staring at the record spinning, but you will end up somewhere quite different, squeaky lobster has made sure of that. as man from phone number 770021 would say: >this is $50.000. good luck.<

the underground electro series by city beat records continues with a mindblowing vol. ii, featuring 18 artists from 10 different nations around the globe that make it the ultimate, new electro funk and rap compilation of the year 2011. as volume 1, this double album is strictly limited to 300 copies and no repress! tracks by artists such as arabian prince, t la rock, dj salva 808, debonaire, planet patrol iii, jock d, freak force crew.

brilliant classic elektro body track getting the remix treatement by headman & patrick pulsinger

supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

excellent electro, electro funk reworks part 4 with remixes by crystal distortion, osymyso, pu s & stephane vera, si begg & kid carpet and mauin graintank

jambi meldet sich nach längerer abstinenz auf doc zurück. los gehts mit smartem & dreidimensionalem minimal, bevor er auf der b-seite den totgeglaubten shuffle auspackt
