music from the film henry may long by max richter on 180 gram vinyl with download code included.

you could be forgiven for thinking bassos (label owner) been hitting the plant food of late. last time out we took a trip with trance, and now our esoteric expert nods his head, rolls his shoulders and drops a house record on our unexpecting asses. thats right folks, roll up the rug, push the sofa back and enjoy some ‚personal growth‘ from james booth. . operating a million miles away from the kick and hiss of the trendy lo-fi folks, the berlin based producer favours subtle rhythms, delicate textures and tender melodies - turning out a string of sophisticated dance floor winners for 100% silk, church and no bad days. now he brings his organic house stylings to the growing bin with a fresh five-tracker packed with all the warmth of a tempelhof picnic on a balmy july afternoon.

eric maltz is a producer from new york city and now resides in berlin, germany. he is a former employee of halcyon records from its og glory days in it s first location in red hook/carrol gardens areas of brooklyn. -eric provided a sofa to me often through-ought my 20 s and vice-versa, we both cared about music above all else- we lived and breathed music- and we helped each other survive when we were penniless - if one was up, so was the other... eric and i were roommates, friends, we looked out for each other in a rough city with tough rules. every time one of us got a job at a restaurant or record shop, within weeks we would have the other working there too. we did that for a decade. we slang records for years at halcyon- a shop on smith street which had a portrait of stevie wonder painted on the front facade- and we threw parties all around brooklyn back then too.. every shitty bar that would have us lol. we were a dope team. he s the only person who has ever touched the third rail on a subway and survived too! true story. so you know i couldn t wait to release his debut lp. proud of this guy- - levon vincent

fresh from charming the pants off us with the verdant echoes from the southern place 12-, italian producer piero paolinelli is back as sofa talk with a new single striding out on the ever fantastic tusk wax. this 12- comes steeped in different shades of party music, from the bouncy organ chords and motor city leads of -disquiet- through to the slickly diced up boogie tones of -elastic-. as well as paolinelli s mighty fine originals, the remixes come from some big hitters. ad bourke gets on board to turn -disquiet- into a energised, bubbling house burner while posthuman brings some of his trademark tough acid touches to elastic-.

paul woolford has been seriously spreading his wings of late, becoming omni-present by landing his tracks with ease on labels like xl recordings, running back, houndstooth, hotflush and aus music. not wanting to be shackled by genres, paul comfortably serves up a wide variety of curveballs, from the technoid charge of his 4/4 persuasions to the exhilarating warped hardcore & jungle breaks of his much loved special request project. and so it’s with welcome arms that edible usher him to our release schedule, give him the comfy sofa and let him rip it up with two havoc-inducing cuts that are already a staple in label boss eats everything’s dj sets. title track ‘chaos’ finds paul in a particularly warped mode, bleepy synth pulses oscillate wildly over a granite hard beat as a single sub-bass tone drives the brain-scrambling flurry of modular tones into overdrive. a hydrochloric synth riff settles the bed, but only until the next haul of chaotic blips come firing out of the speakers - highly effective, and possibly deranged warehouse tackle. a future classic. flip side, and woolford shows off some decidedly more soulful chops on ‘meditate . a vocal hook plays against a dubwise bass line and ascending 909 rides, as a seductive and transcendental string arpeggio creeps to the fore and demands a breakdown of its own, serving up a serious bucket load of emotion. not a dry eye in the house.

the elusive dj groov slides from under a long lost 93 slipmatt to present a very special weekend long jaunt into heavy acid & breaks territory.
from the swaying euphoria of “back to”, to the 10 pills breakneck acid blaster “human?”, the synth-drone paranoid alien abduction jaunt of “jam from space haus”, and lastly the skitzy, noise-peppered tinker-toy acid of “skizzacid 78”.
full lazy acid sofa vibes over the long easter weekend. way too much haze and way too many alien movies. comes on an extra hot 12” complete with sticker.

freshly back in !! timeless, round, unmistakable, irresistible grooves from youandewan. no bad surprises, just good house music tracks!

plevna (an alias of horatiu serbanescu, long-time contriver at future nuggets and co-founder of steaua de mare) presents its first full ep. after incubating for almost 2 years while extracting and forging gems in the south-east space-time anomalies, the untraceable sound of plevna has reached the optimum balance between eighties delicate nostalgia and contemporary local oriental melody. bouncing on the delightfully twisted 9/8 groove, this is a unique contact with a multiverse under meticulous construction, an excursion abundant in haunting tunes and unfamiliar melancholy.

p-balans is a new imprint in the future nuggets emerging constellation. a tehnodelia ramification within the bucharest electronic scene that will host rising names like khidja and borusiade while introducing new characters like the holy fix (camil dumitrescu, co-member of delusion men) and utopus (ion d, producer of steaua de mare, raze de soare, anahore?ii among others) already featured on -sounds on the unheard from romania vol. 2-. keeping the same strategies of fusion and diffusion as future nuggets, p-balans will explore the space traversal to techno, entering and exiting the dark halls of the club through multiple doors

scoobs and the big doof were bored. scoobs remembered the acid bar in his pocket, halved it with his pal and the pair melted back into the sofa...

the first twelve-inch of the year from e c h o s p a c e features epic reworks of cv313 s now classic, -seconds to forever- released back in 2010. the first track is a killer dubbed out reversion by intrusion, for the dancefloor or the sofa, this is spaced out sonic submersion of the highest order. there s also 2 beautiful remixes from the brilliant rod modell (deepchord), those touched by his recent output on soma will have a lot to love here. gorgeous plumes of sound all lovely mastered and mixed down from 1/4- analog tape, cut and remastered by bazza (abbey road studios) at alchemy, london. sublime and beyond deep, another exquisite excursion transmitting from the other side of the galaxy. pressed onto 160 gram crystal clear wax

deep in the bowels of the dixon avenue basement lived a man so outrageously overweight we used him for a sofa. king chubby, a suite chap but a bit cheeky. said the only reason he was humpty dumpty was cause every time he rode yer maw she made him a sandwich. he tried dieting but nothing worked. we took drastic action and wired woofers direct to his lardy lugs with in basements vol 2 blasting in on repeat. thanks to the squelchy genius of tunes like luna, save it and sneaking out our big boned bro boogalooed himself skinny. he bopped till the weight dropped. king chubbys pumpalicious now and you can be to if you sign up to casio royales latest dabj dance diet plan.

der mitgründer des labels atomnation, pascal terstappen, präsentiert mit -for- den bereits vierten longplayer seines projekts applescal - und erfindet dessen sound gleich mal neu. hörte man sich terstappens output aus den vergangenen jahren an, so lernte man seine sorgfältig gebauten tracks und remixes schätzen, in denen verspielte percussion-strukturen und außerweltliche melodien in kompositionen mit einfließen, die sich irgendwo zwischen sofa und dancefloor bewegen. applescals voriges album -dreaming in key- bekam großes presselob und wurde von djs wie gilles peterson, laurent garnier und daniel avery gespielt. -for- klingt ähnlich unbekümmert, dennoch wagt sich der niederländer hier in tiefere gefilde. tracks wie -like you do-, -matter- und -overseas- tragen dieselbe handschrift träumerischer synthesizers und prickelnder grooves, ansonsten klingt die soundpalette reifer und selbstbewusster.

in all there are seven previously released tracks as well as five brand new, never before heard cuts, and they all make for absorbing listening both in the club, on headphones or from the sofa.

our first publication comes from phil cole and nicola koch. two artists with her quite own grooving elastique music sets itself in the electronic underground.every artist we choose for our label got its own strengths wich we want to emphasis.

strategy aka paul dickow is back on idle hands for an lp following last years *return from the stars* 12 inch. *seeds of paradise* finds strategy boldly firing experimental electronics and dub back into outer space. like his work for zam zam, kranky and his own community library label, this latest outing from the portland-based producer nestles deftly between roots influence and sci-fi leanings. the result is a glistening 40 minutes of sonic exploration, never simplistic but never obtuse, which will sit happily on the turntables of sofa loungers and adventurous djs alike.

danse club 16th release welcomes greek producer, sek also of ama, morris audio, large. the release kicks off with everybody, a bumping and groove filled slice of deep house that employs a simple bass, a filtered piano chord groove and sparse vocal hits. next up is no matter what, a driving, garage influenced record which is sure to send dance floors crazy. last but not least the b2, sofa king high. a laid back, deep, sleezy house record with distorted chords, smooth bass and addictive vocals.

grab the new s&c 005 record, a split 12inch by ender & stiletti-ana, put it on and lay down on your sofa. hear the opening groove from enders track p.l.i.h. and find your self getting up immediately to turn the stereo a little louder. adapt your self to the super tight, locked & futuristic and very original techno groove. watch especially out for the killer stab line in it as it is just something you will most likely find your self humming while shopping or taking your dog out. after the original mix of p.l.i.h. you will hear the stiletti-ana s stripped down version. he must have cut everything else out in his mix with his switch blade besides the ruthless stab line. dig the endless and ever growing stab jacking and remember that p.l.i.h side of the record is very serious and addictive for both club & home users. turn the record around and go back to your sofa. hear the twisted detroitian afro acid disco of stiletti-ana s track i got the master unit. filled with merciless synths and forcing rhythms i got the master unit leaves no questions of the keeper of that unit. the user of the unit seems to turn all things to the max and play midi tracks with tesla coil a like instruments. after the original it is ender s time to use the master unit and turn down the lights and ask the question: do you think that there will be something nice happening soon?

berlin-based producer and dj hubertus schacht is back on samuvar 6 with a stunning microdubhouse-track - >hikari< sports multi-layered soundscapes, is full of little nifty melodies and big mighty chords albeit never losing sight of the dancefloor. swinging hi-hats, compelling breaks and a massive drop – embedded in a smoothly floating midtempo-arrangement. perfect for the early morning hours when facing the absorbed crowd of usual suspects in a club. and just as perfect for lounging around at home. headphones, sofa, let the world float by. on the flipside pavel pokhorovsky, formerly responsible for samuvar4, presents a convincing track with a calm and concentrated pusher. timeless record, quality!

nice price deal !!! t-polar is back on rebirth with another fantastic ep, always striving to create something emotive, original and outside the typical lines of music fashion. t-polar had a long journey through electronica of many shades, from the microhouse stylings of early releases on takeover, morris audio, and karloff, to more ambient leftfield music on acroplane, to his gnarly, and at times woozy, post rave music on nice&nasty, digital distortions, wide, ls2, takeover and !kaboogie.
his previous >hadean ep< and remixes for nufrequency and bocca grande received so many great props, and >the archean ep< is another perfect combination of soul/funk and leftfield house/electronica. one of the hottest talents around!

what we have here is an album which is, if i may say, relatively positive and generally good for home listening. this album was recorded in about 10 weeks in a living room (the sofa being my bed), with restless swollen eyes at dusk and a love/hate relation with my machines, microphone and electric guitar.3 machines gave up on me during the making of this lp.i hope you will like it. tolga.

***vinyl only***. following last years debut tsuba limited release its a pleasure to welcome back our favourite italian rio padice with > the return of the luchador<. the luchador story continues with 4 more tracks of timeless, raw and melodic house music all made with machines.

…awesome new single from louis garcia feat. sidney king, one more try is a fantastic summer smasher!! what a amazing house booomb with theme from “zora in red”!!!

super limited 12 inch in screen printed sleeve with bing ji ling and barck+prommer remixes ... limited to just 300 copies, pressed on delicious 180 gram vinyl and presented in a silk-screen printed sleeve, >make you mine< is quite the 12 inch to get your hands on this autumn! the opening track of incarnations forthcoming debut album >with all due respect< is a sundrenched balearic bomb if ever there was one. handsome threesome daniel collas, quinn luke (akabing ji ling) and bart davenport soaked up all the good vibes of the tarifa studio on the south-coast of spain, just in front of africa, where the mediterranean sea and the atlantic ocean meet, and transformed them into little over three-and-a-half minutes of pure loving goodness, reminiscent of the 70s west coast sounds among many other things. on remix duties we have christian prommer and alex >jazzanova< barck taking the track into the late night territory with an epic deep-house stormer, while bing ji ling makes those lazy sofa surfers get up and boogie while the sun is setting with a strong ny flavour.

played by karotte !! as if the year 2009 hadnt been eventful enough for berlin label highgrade and its french counterpart freak n chic , both camps have found space in the program for another very special tour de force this november. based on the similar philosophies of label founders tom clark and dan ghenacia, the two labels utilize the skills of their existing artist rosters while continuing to discover new talents, and togheter, pay tribute to almost all the artists from both labels with this fresh musical collaboration.

waren die letzten platten von tele fragen oder aussagen, so ist das vierte album der in berlin lebenden band aus freiburg ein tier - und zwar jedes. eines, das haken schl?gt zwischen club, lagerfeuer und ballsaal. eines, das nicht schafft und nicht stempelt. eines, das liebt ohne zu frieren. zw¬lf lieder finden sich auf jedes tier , einem album, mit dem die band um texter francesco wilking nach zwei major-platten wieder zu tapete records zur?ckkehrt. es sind lieder f?r in und nach der krise: die nacht ist jung, genau wie wir, du bist so sch¬n, ich nenn stra?en nach dir. und die musik? da sind die tiefen beziehungsgespr?che der gitarren, deren kinder, s?sse orgelmelodien, auf bass und schlagzeug liegen wie auf einem sofa und sich zur?cklehnen - so weit, bis fast die lehne bricht. man h¬rt: die band hat gearbeitet wie ein tier, hat geprobt und gespielt, anderthalb jahre lang. 2008 waren tele mit wir sind helden auf tour, f?r jedes tier traf sie sich zusammen mit neuen und alten guten leuten wie u. a. patrick majer (wir sind helden) und moses schneider (beatsteaks, tocotronic).

konk is the eagerly awaited new album from the kooks. it is their second album, and the follow up to their hugely successful 2006 debut inside in/inside out which sold some two million copies worldwide and spawned the massive singles she moves in her own way, you dont love me, sofa song, eddies gun, ooh la and na ve. konk was recorded over a six week period at the tail end of 2007 in ray davieskonk studios in north london, plus a week at los angelessound factory. the sessions once again united the group with esteemed producer tony hoffer (beck / air/the fratellis). konk features 12 tracks. theres gap which is classic kooks, and shine on which finds luke exploring hitherto unchartered lyrical territory over the loveliest of melodies. its destined to become another lynchpin in the kooks live set. first single always where i need to be is a tumbling rocker with a do do do, do do do do refrain that might just be the catchiest thing they ve ever done. sway and mr maker are other album highlights.

alter working on different remixes as the successful dformation & prompt >inbound< from yoshitoshi or acquaviva and giacomotto >sofa king< from definitive rec. such as some collaborations with first level artists or remixing topstars like david guetta or tocadisco, they return alone to present their last release fre017. these two welknown producers from barcelona show us two great tracks, this time influenced from their trips all over the world, giving the expression to the energy from the people of the amazing events they have been playing

supported by karotte, agoria , trickski , chris lake , audiofly . micky slim, lawrence. minilogue & trentemøller remixes! a great premiere on pineapple. klovn is not from iceland like all other pineapple artist, but these gusgus friends come from denmark with a hypnotic deep and slow track, perfect for the summer chill sessions. klovn is more of a hobby than a fulltime project for buda and krede. theyve rented a studio, stolen a sofa of the street, bought the computer and thats basically it. when they have the time, they meet up late hours to produce. klovns friends trentemøller and minilogue were easily convinced to add their remixes with minilogue doing their great minimal clubsound and trentemøller living his love for freaky chilling
