san franciscos matrixxman back on dekmantel...full info to follow

makam returns to dekmantel records with his first full-length album for the amsterdam based label. blankens ongoing search for fresh sounds, textures and rhythms has lead him to than sadet, a gorgeous piece of work that takes his sound into new directions. that sadet displays a refinement of makams sound. the music is highly tactile, with an emphasis on the surroundings of the environment in which it was created. blanken: than sadet is a secluded beach on an island in thailand. a mysterious atmosphere haunts it. its windy and the weather is always a bit worse compared to the rest of the isle. there are many cliffs and you cant swim because the waves are too high. four years ago i visited than sadet for the first time and ive been coming back ever since. at one point i decided to bring my studio equipment. for a week, i dedicated my days to making music. those sketches formed the basis of the album.

envisaging a trustworthy approach to sound, french dj and producer voiski has steadily built a name for himself in contemporary left-field dance music. he took a singular path in techno, oscillating between experimental projects and signature sound dance floor material. the parisian brings his versatile skills together on the third installment of dekmantels ufo series, serving up five completely different yet coherent sounding tracks.

vakula has been a dekmantel label member ever since the very early days. the ukraine based producer now drops his album cyclicality between procyon and gomeisa on the label.

earlier this year, dekmantel announced the signing of robert hood for a new project titled paradygm shift. over the course of three different eps, which will eventually evolve into an album, the detroit but now alabama based legend presents paradygm shift. hood: -the idea behind paradygm shift is similar to a shift in our focus. we can become so complacent, we are so comfortable with our surroundings, i think this is the time for electronic music to find a new mindset volume ii serves up two more killer techno floor bombs by the never disappointing originator. master jack is a classy and deadly effective cut that gets its strength from a simple, yet biting stack of funky chords, while pulsating bass lines and rattling hats are holding it together. more fast-paced action can be found on magnet,a no-nonsense, minimalist stomper you can store in your peak-time section. refined techno action times two, but what did you expect?

makam with a taste of things to come as he flips the sound pallete for his latest 12- on dekmantel. housed in a plastic outer sleeve with postcard insert. tip! dekmantel say- we re rubbing our hands together gleefully for this one: longtime family member makam will return to dkmntl records with a full-length album later this year. guy blanken s ongoing search for new sounds, textures and rhythms has lead him to than sadet, a stunning piece of work that’s like nothing you ve heard from the the hague based producer before. we have known this ultra-talented chap for years, but it’s fair to say than sadet is his most impressive and distinctive work to date. this sampler is a sneak peek into what is about to be an absolute label highlight, a prelude to the new makam sound. riding high is a lush, isolee-esque lengthy house jam, and the blissful ambient ride backed up by tropical birds than sadet gives more insight into the new territories blanken has been digging into. you ain t heard nothin yet. -

kicking off the dkmntl ufo series is esoteric techno stalwart peter van hoesen. the berlin based belgian dj and producer has attracted a dedicated following for his signature sound of ebm-tinged productions, and will continue to do so thanks to his distinctive take on how to inaugurate our new platform. from dystopian kinetic techno (‘cartesian taiko’) to an anarchic and dub heavy break beat jam (‘duet dub’), and from the rolling and hypnotic peak-time intensifier (‘p2me’) to synth-heavy seductive high tech soul (‘qaudra’): van hoesen casually wallops you round the back of the head with gargantuan bass vibes. dekmantel is adding a new series to their label called ufo. following the same-titled stage on the annual summer festival in amsterdam, the ufo releases focus on the same sound spectrum. in the forthcoming months, starting in may, ufo will be inaugurated by marcel dettmann, randomer, dj stingray, peter van hoesen, and voiski.

call super debut on dekmantel, 2 superb tracks. check! tip!

amsterdam s cult producer and dj steven van hulle a.k.a. awanto 3 likes his samples vibrant, his drums wobbly and his synths sweaty... tip! the mpc wizard returns to dekmantel delivering two new club cuts bursting with wonderful weirdness. but there’s more, cause the a1 holds a very special surprise.

berlin-based palms trax continues adding to his run of quality efforts with the forthcoming release of his high point on low ground ep: impressive effort number two for the dekmantel imprint. serving up three retro-futuristic killers, donaldson parades his ability to touch on the many different corners of contemporary house music, whilst delivering heavyweight dancefloor standards. the title track blazes a beaten-up vocal snippet over stanked-out synths, stretched to a breaking point across a low-riding bass line. a stabbing moroder-esque bass line dominates cloud city , whilst paws equals pure and raw broken-beat bliss with a pinch of acid.

the art of omission is a craft new jersey native joey anderson masters like few others. after releasing his acclaimed debut album after forever in 2014 and the 1974 ep earlier this year, anderson returns to the dekmantel label serving up the signature sound we love him for. invisible switch is the perfect example of what anderson can do with very little, catapulting him to one of the finest and most original techno and house producers to date.

surprise reissue of this near mythical 12inch! it seems nearly everybody missed it the first time round. dekmantel & magnetron team up and do the right thing and polish up the old girl to 2015 standards. expect to hear this absolutely everywhere this summer!

jj&j return on 12 inch after knocking us sideways with last years double lp. there is true finesse (as ever) in these tempod productions, with fabulous synth layering throughout and some of those ravey details they lace in so well for the more expanded dancers ... up and out there.

connecticut s jon beall, recording as entro senestre, has gained critical acclaim thanks to brilliant releases on labels like w.t. records, echovolt and l.i.e.s.. on his debut for dekmantel, beall has taken his signature vintage flavors of techno and electro and pushed them into news spheres of the frightening, combining chalky, continuous drum tracks with an ear for emotionally challenging melodies. championing timeless electro-techno that breathes real soul, this four tracker does senestre proud and alters a dynamic ep that is ear-piercing and contemplative, nifty and evocative.

*i cant even afford bed linen, let alone a 909*. the unpretentious of jay donaldson is disarming in many different ways. we consider donaldson aka palms trax to be one of the most promising new artists to date. his sound situates him firmly along the chicago-detroit axis, cooking up pad-driven jams, off kilter drums and hazy synths that shift like a gentle musical tide. in 2013 he inaugurated the lobster theremin label, the london-based imprint that quickly became one of the most talked about record labels around. when not travelling the world for prime-time gigs donaldson holds a residency at the widely respected berlin community radio. it is with great pleasure that we welcome golden boy palms trax to dekmantel records.

mr anderson taking a fresh twist and releasing more excellence on dekmantel.
the art of omission is a craft new jersey native joey anderson masters like few others. after releasing an acclaimed debut album in 2014, anderson returns to the dekmantel label serving up the signature sound we love him for. with the 1974 ep, he continues his modern day techno odyssey investigating the outskirts of the genre, while focusing on details and unexpected twists. serving up dense melodic structures, intense chord progressions and unique but relentless drum programming and sounds, anderson shows that the future of techno is bright, original and full of energy.

the dekmantel label will cap off 2014 with a record from a new face to the amsterdam-based crew: stateside producer matrixxman.

makam – what ya doing: the hague based producer makam definitely didnt see jack play, simply because hes waaaay to young to be bragging about the history of house music. nevertheless mister guy blanken delivers a stunning anthem in the best of warehouse and music box traditions. keep those 909 rim shots coming please, but make way for the irresistible breakdown. makam – what ya doing (funkineven) more 909 sweetness comes from london based steven julien aka eglo-related vintage fetishist funkineven. while treating the original with respect, he adds some analogue acid dirt to it. in an everything but subtle way, that is. peak time stuff!

the fourth release of selva discos is one that has been bursting audiences into flames for a good while. barbatuques, a well-known brazilian group of body percussionists, adapted -baiana&#769,,,,,,,,,,,,- back in 2005 (first released on the -o seguinte e&#769,,,,,,,,,,,, esse- album) and since then it became a staple of their concerts, getting crazy reactions from the children to the elder, being featured on soundtracks and sampled by trap duo tropkillaz. the original is a modern folk song from bahia composed by maria do carmo barbosa, but it was the mouth harp sound and the stomping beat on the barbatuques arrangement that imprinted its trademark sound - like the first lightning strikes before the storm. a couple of years ago, jan schulte, the german producer known for his taste for tropical drums (and also for using a few different aliases), heard the song and decided to add an extra punch to it for his dj sets: more drums, taken from a library record of -drumdrops- (hence the title). in his appearance at 2017 s dekmantel boiler room stage as bufiman, he dropped it to the crowd s awe, and it s been like that wherever its played - believe it, it s been tested all around. so now for the first time -baiana&#769,,,,,,,,,,,,- is issued on vinyl. it marks the second volume of the brasingles series, a new series on selva discos dedicated to releasing loud 12- singles with the original song on the a side and a rework on the b side, to please both the dj and the listener.

this is a new beat masterpiece, simply an instant classic! yes theres that track you heard at dekmantel festival last year

strategy returns to chris farrells idle hands label for the first time since his seeds of paradise lp, and his first record of the year following releases for nite owls diner and zam zams sister label khaliphonic in 2018. here he turns in a bassy house number by the name of tropical storm, one for those sloppy grins in the summer months. the most requested track id on shanti celeste’s dekmantel mix, here it finally sees the light of day.

le matin, always rare and uncategorised, following the reissue of his early synthwavepop tunes on poussiere depoque and a track on the good lena wilikens dekmantel selectors 005 comp, this new ep on lost dogs ent. let you hear some of his last works. expect an ultra-cold-minimal-electro riddim, a less-mental-nearly-good-for-the-dancefloor tune with depitched haunted r&b vocals, an analog and bassy arpeggio ride on the flip side, oh my god! this is the peak-time-for-weirdo-nearly-techno tune, a blast, only for craziest djs that like broken-frustrated-uncomfortable dandefloors and to finish this well balanced 5 trackers: the are you depressed that much? its the 10th time youre listening to this ost of a dying world, this wont get any better but at least this is good music! tune. le matin is a good kept secret that prefer to take care of his kids than to travel the world of nightclubbing with drunk teens (ok thats how it is in france, that looks better in some other countries), but sometime you can hear his music on decks of some wise people and djs like call super, lena wilikens, house of traps, charles drakeford, jon k, bergsonist, body motion

la awanto 3 and meditation tunnel appear on the latest blitz, dj tennis’ ongoing, limited, vinyl-only series. these colourful records sometimes pop-up around life and death showcases, often featuring non-standard cuts + off-kilter attitudes. dekmantel affiliate, awanto 3 offers-up an infectious after-party gem, with “the phone we call it.” slow-burning cosmic keyboards pair with elements of detroit techno and a subtle wink to rdj’s masterstroke, xtal. the flip contains a killer from meditation tunnel, the newly-birthed dance project from the rapture’s luke jenner. la la la is a blitz future-classic. syncopated bass guitar, crusty synthetic strings and the purest of vocal performances - blitz #2 is one to remember.

another gem from the archives gets a much needed official reissue. the 12inch mix of you combines the original funk riffs, string arrangement and joyous piano with a squelchy lead synth to elevate the track to new levels. anyone who saw that momentous back to back between ge-ology and red greg at dekmantel last summer will know the power of this one. my music on the b side is another favourite from the diggers spiritual soul from samuel jonathan johnson, tip!
