from the label: first release from a new chicago label sound reflection recordings. boasting 3 deep tracks from life recorder, dcook, & jose rico.

the first release is coming with 4 high-talented players: skymark, nas1, jose rico and gari romalis. each producer delivers something different on this debut ep, expect crispy acid sketches, running mpc sequences, synths unleashed and a jackin’ low end.

jose rico launches the le disque record stores project: ambiwa records, a label dedicated to abstract house music. * declaration of intent ep* is a collection of songs with a history, 4 pieces of his life talking about hypocrisy referred to poverty, the trivialisation of music as money source, the days in the studio with ron trent, and the night music-workers. beyond any related stories, here you can find all the jose ricos music standards: impossible mpc percussion patterns, black keys, vocal textures, distorted kicks and tons of suspence and tension. this just means… music for the most demanding dancefloors and open minds. as it could not be otherwise, masterd by jose rico.

two ponsactrilau releases plus one from dinamuzac bundled with a special price:
- pstl001: rico puestel - roja drifts by
- pstl002: rico puestel - ye mighty shambaluu
- dinam007: dinamoe - l analogie d echecs - les interpretations

escapism musique continues the vinyl series with an ep from the greek, hamburg based, dj and producer, boronas (visionquest / suruba / claap). fake romance gathers a mix of feelings, introducing the first original with slow deep sounds and the second one with more cheering and stimulating tones. nikola gala (escada music / ibadan / rekids) and nico puestel (ponsactrilau / soso / pimprinella) revitalize the originals with two ecstatic remixes that complete the ep and make it perfect for the dancefloor. enjoy!

jose rico unleashes the london calling ep which inaugurates the shubaka label. four cuts of woozy, slowed down house and techno. crusty drums and yearning synths collide to form some properly drugged up afterparty moments, deep in the forests of endor!

g2014 is over and downbeat records, is back with a new release. jose rico and urtzi, come back again with another 4 tracks vinyl. memories from another life and no back memory are two deep house pearls with minimal sequences and emotional synths made by urtzi. at the same time, jose rico is the responsible for the mechanical and powerful aint, and the percussive and ethereal small island, probably one of his best tracks so far. and, as they did with that space is the place ep, they have made here a consistent release, setting their personal view of the dance music.

a multilateral tale in sound about the cryptic entity of shambaluu in 4 acts on one record! rico puestel, known from latest releases on soso and pimprinella, delivers an insight on his current varieties of production and aesthetics - (as usual) everything necessary to tell the story of ye mighty shambaluu here. a must-have in every record collection!

from hackney, london, cartulis music kicks off with a nice and solid 4-tracker. rico casazza, joel alter, brendom moeller

ponsactrilau, the new label of rico puestel is setting in, coming strong and distinct! after highly acclaimed releases on pimprinella or san franciscos very own mothership, rico puestel strengthens his musical vision of deep and storytelling electronic compositions, wandering through the realms of house - represented by the two originals roja drifts by (a relentlessly inspiring and vast scenery, based on one mighty orchestral foundation) and south serpentines (a cheerful and synth-frisky journey). accompanied by timo jahns, living out his very own and unique way of a strong rhythmical presence combined with gently floating atmospheres in his interpretation of roja drifts by. sheer bliss!

three stompy dancefloor weapons are looking for a turntable. could you please help them we offer 2 high quality originals from rico puestel and add a sweet sugar remix from pimprinellas daddy marcel sterling. this is a late summer bomb! hipp, hipp, hooray!

we are very proud to welcome rico puestel on ozz records! *icicle tremors* is a warm but melancholic track and comes around with a more floor-oriented remix from oscar ozz!

excellent split release! deep driving slow-paced hypnotic house/techno cuts by underground deephouse heros specter from chicago (tetrode, sound signature) and jose rico from spain (downbeat records).

indigenous travelers are ron trent and jose rico. they met at the madrid red bull studios to pay homage to jose roberto bertrami the brilliant leader and keyboardist of the brazilian jazz-funk trio, azymuth. the result is >paradise ritmito carnival<, a hot, melodic and percussive house music with afro-brasilian influences. it is presented in a one-sided record with surprise in b side

just in time the almighty stock 5 comes around in order to send out a wake up call for spring. rico casazza blesses us with his soul driver ep. the title track impresses with a badass houserhythm, adequately supported by jazzy chords that generate the space for the misty, soothed vocal in the background. -soul driver- is an afro percussion body mover, not to be missed in everydjs case. this one’s followed by -wa lking backwards-, a huge and soulful stomper, catching our spoiled ears with some elegant synth melodies and truly massive sub basses. the flip providesa wide playground for notorious emixers. first on the scene are cesare vs disorder who implanted a serious guitar lick, making their -supernatural mix- a funked out trance disco housemonster. matthew styles ennobles this flamboyant release with a rather minimalistic approach towards the original. -megamix pa rt 1- is perfectly suitable to make the crowd all yours on a sunny sunday after hour morning.

do machines have soul?? jose rico and urtzi bring us the 7th downbeat release, paying homage to science fiction and exploring the relation between human beings and machines. the result is a solid exercise of researching with hardware, which brings all the label influences.jose rico is the responsible of flight to andrómeda and hiperspace, two obsessive, mechanical but full-of-feeling tracks.moreover, urtzi introduces himself with ouroboros and terra luminae, two synthetic tracks with influences from chicago sound. four dance music tracks which go straight to the heart and brain.

jose rico and dj f are responsible for the second release of eleve label, two of the heads of the madrilian emergent scene of producers. the synths and sequences of 5 minute before and la verdad show that dj f is partial to detroits flavours, specially robert hood, among many others. for the last track, out of the energy, he builds together with jose rico a gem of atmospheric analogue house with claps that remind to chicago. a productive collaboration that has just started off with this release along with freebeat 02.

after being enclosed for several years with his mpcs and synthesizers, josé rico carries out the 5th downbeat 12 inch influenced by detroit and chicago. the record starts with september rain, a classic deep house track with warm percussion, deep synths and a jazzy piano. urtzi reworks it into a mesmerizing theme with spooky synths and a naïve bassline. then its on to stage, with raw drums, hammond and keyboards somewhere between tetrode and deep transportation. the record is closed by ciclico with a super-bass and a catchy melody. absolutely hypnotic. a diverse release for deep house lovers.

rico henschel aka sweet n candy teams up with up and coming producer daniel kampf, well known from releases on cecille, flash & opsm

in the 3rd downbeat release, the main star is the waldorf sound. this release means the debut of one of the heads of the label, jose rico. his two tracks (restructure again and >about it<) are obsessive, direct and forceful and define clearly his tastes and influences. detroit and above all, detroit. on side b, (the essential) mike huckaby gives us a bright pearl with a piano solo reminding us of his works on deep transportation. slow but sure

rico aka dinamoe sometimes really behaves like jekyll & hyde. he can t decide between mad techno tunes or easy, uplifting house music ? but at the end it is always damn hot.

>the hissing subsides< is rico puestels (also well known as dinamoe) selection of pure bliss deep house. each of the four tracks has a different potential. whilst >dammit im mad< and >carving down< go straight to the floor with pounding tech house grooves, >dler< and >i only wear this bonnet here< take the listener to the dubbier sides of house.

the new rico puestel ep combines striving, restrained, overturned, uncanny or quirky cool techno music. rico is always keeping a clear line due to his individual touch of positive tension, funkyness and soul. played by josh wink, oscar, paco osuna, tim green, timo jahns!, alec troniq, danilo vigorito, dj misk, franco bianco, black vel, blood and tears, sascha kösch aka bleed (de:bug), glan

and the rompe story continues....

the rising consciousness ep takes you on a tour of your own mind via two brilliant originals with remixes from techno veteran bryan zentz, and label head lets go outside. side a dives into the limbic system with the deep house masterpiece that is waving, surviving. its slick and sexy, creating a beautiful, wide space around its subtle textures, exhilarating swells, and tones which envelope you like a big hug. bryan zentz massive remix explores the frontal lobe further, managing to perfectly balance the plus 8 recording artists heavy dance floor genius with the warmth of the original. on the b side, rico tests your motor skills with skinless, a driving and playful tech house trip. this is raw fun dance music that slaps every neuron in your cerebral cortex with each step. sliding down and out the thalamus, slant label head lets go outside reworks >skinless< into an overwhelming, full blown body and brain workout.
