alland byallo gained global attention producing for definitive labels like poker flat and liebedetail, hosting san francisco s legendary kontrol party and performing at world-famous venues like berlin s panoramabar and watergate, and detroit s annual demf, byallo looks forward to showcasing his more private side through bad animal, expect more organic productions, vocals and raw emotion.
the label s intimate feel is realized in the title track of its inaugural release, >thirsty eyes< an evocative song about a pained, passive aggressive young woman who is oblivious of her own condition. built upon a sinister bass line and raw, soul-drenched vocal, this lo-fi tune builds to an eerie yet frenzied crescendo then explodes into a percussive workout perfect for peak time. remixes from the wildly in-demand techno trio dop. dop drops a spacey, acid-laced, psychedelic monster. finally >open windows< byallo s other original piece, pays homage to the past with a look towards the future, this bass-heavy techno/house tune opens with an old-school build-up then chugs along accented by an ethereal vocal and energetic stabs designed to get the dance floor moving.

were you able to touch them – to render them tangible and actually trace the rhythms in yachts i walked alone – the lines would form steep hills and sudden cliffs that rise and drop off, again and again, at steep, sharp angles. the wiry funk and itchy bass move like a controlled spasm, convulsive and itchy, until the breakdown, when the nervous tension gets released in a series of cowbell clunks and a guitar solo that leaks out like a slow moving electric current. on this vinyl only collection of remixes, parisian duo get a room!, aka rove dogs and jeff masson, massage out the herk and jerk, making for a more relaxed and aurally warm take. the sound of things is far housier here – and more pop, in the very best way – owing to synths where there previously were none and angles newly bent and refashioned into smooth, circling cycles of disco-infused sound. and theres more from jacques renault, who contributes a remix both with and without vocals. the new york city dance music stalwart takes his time building to a plateau of perfectly paced beats and a wall of recurring dream(y) house rhythms. feels like music that fills the room, takes over your senses, and wraps you in its effervescence. - kali holloway

exactly a year ago we released the splitt ep er 0004.1 with chez damier s balance alliance. so this very special various artists ep comes to you as the follower of the reminded release as a double a side ep, called the various artist ep two pt.2!.with people on a1 marcello napoletano delivers an analog monster. the man from south italy doesnt really need to be introduced after his stunning releases on labels like mathematics, yore or rush hour. on a2 we re-introduce our first female producer in the family basels timnah sommerfeldt with her mix of fill me up (released on balance / ba006). on the aa balance side we got two rookies on wax with the oldschol flavoured tune named da bass lover. produced by quike feat. lello di franco as a young italian producer combo. with changes demetrio giannice has gone through a maturing process, a downtempo track driven by two difrrent drumsequences, melodic synth lines, strings and a classic guitar with a balearic feeling. everything turns into a kind of background hidden hook taken from the forthcoming vocal version of changes. vocals by chez damier. few different versions will follow. strictly limited!

since we met ark in spain a while ago. after being around since 1997, we were curious what he would do for a small label like klamauk. well, we are happy that we ve got one we really love for its moods. his track >fat runner< is a deep growing house track with arks typical kind of breaks, getting faster and faster, ending in a true dance monster. welcome to the klamauk family

mika vainio, currently based in berlin, was one half of the minimal electronic duo pan sonic from finland, (the other half was ilpo väisänen). before starting pan sonic in beginning of the 90 s mika vainio has played electronics and drums as part of the early finnish industrial and noise scene. his solo works, under his own name and under aliases like Ø, are known for their analogue warmth and electronic harshness. be it abstract drone works or minimal avant techno, vainio is always creating unique, physical sounds.

the latest instalment in the ever-evolving tale of circus company comes from a partnership that has already borne plenty of tightly honed dancefloor fruit, although never before for our merry band of performers and freaks. marc schneiders service to european house music runs deep. as well as steering the course of the mega-distributor wordandsound, marc has been steadily appearing on releases and remixes for new kanada, metamorphic, einmaliens and many more over the years. however marcs studio collaborations with ralf schmidt are fast becoming his most celebrated output. ralfs aera project is already being loudly championed by the most critical tastemakers in the business, including glowing praise from resident advisor and fact magazine for his unique and impeccably crafted tracks on his own aleph music label. after a string of successful remixes, the pair consummate their shared passion with this strong, focused three-tracker that makes a space for itself in the club-ready end of the circus company record bag. what on the surface may seem like straight-up dj friendly cuts soon reveal their hidden depths. whispers of techno melodies and textures hum away under the surface, while those with keen ears will pick up the sneaky tributes to uk rave culture that aera is known for sprinkling over his tracks. primarily though, these tracks gracefully tread the line between functionality and flair, leaving you with another glorious selection of imaginative house music with that inimitable circus co. stamp on it.

mowar has reached its 10th release! this release heads into a darker direction with four solid and mental techno movers. searle is a new name to join the mowar ranks, but his sounds are pure, raw with a pinch of dark ambience. the record opens with the title track mind transfer, which brings a raw oldskool 808 feel layered with hypnotic basic channel-like chords and a subtle but most effective acid line. modern love s claro intellecto on remix duty turns the track into a slow moving warehouse monster, throbbing its way to a drugged chicago-esque jacking feel yet retaining the original darkness of mind transfer. on the flipside succubus lives up to its ominous title. this track is a dark hypnotic affair with fierce kickdrums piercing through an obscure sound palette of eerie pads and deep basses. razor sharp modulated noise then invades the whole thing turning the track into a punishing dark workout. finally unauthorized brings a more edgy and experimental sound to the whole, starting of with a dubby bassline and graveyard shift pads, but once the piercing hi-hats kick in, the track shifts to straightforward almost cristian vogel-like mental techno. by the way… searle is a new moniker of mowar frontman franco cangelli.

there is hardly any other track so closely connected to sven väths twelfth ibiza season, like adonis by alex ridha aka boys noize. with his fusion of energy disco with massive percussions and chicago memories, adonis fitted just perfectly to the intensive late summer we had. but theres still more to come, and so cocoon recordings are offering no less than five congenial versions: on the vinyl edition we find, besides the original version, the first remix of stone breaker mark e, dj and producer from birmingham who recently had the honour to do an album on the well-respected us label spectral sound. he skilfully transfers adonis into a hypnotic house opus with a recognisable detroit pinch.

for our third instalment on mars recordings weve decided to go for transparent green vinyl! this has nothing to do with aliens, we wouldnt be that obvious, but its the colour chosen by the artists and we think it looks like another great mars package. musically, well edward oberon & paul t have conjured up 2 awesome tracks. >love is< is absolutely sublime with its warm bass line and delicate sounds to the breakdown, while keeping the drums nice and punchy, a great tune to roll out. >absolute< harks back to the deep sounds of old good looking by the likes of big bud or tayla. ridiculous sub-lo bass and deep strings, this is how mars do things and we feel its another quality 12 inch where the music & the packaging matter.

the opening hits of the percussion stay smooth and relaxed, and the instruments come in one-by-one – first the synth, then the strings, then the brass – to create an experience thats both engaging and relaxing. this is the sort of music i would listen to if i cruised the streets of san francisco in the evenings. as >back to the bay< wraps up and pulls us into his remix of >screw up<, we get a dose of subscapes intensity, but its quickly pulled back into matty gs signature low-bass, hip-hop/dubstep fusion beats. >jam like a tek< adds in some vocal hooks to get the crowd chanting – and you are missing out if you dont add this into your mix. deep kick drums, a snappy snare, big distortion on the scratchy bass wobbles, and the vocals all come together perfectly to create a track thatll get people grinding like mad on the dancefloor.

the last record in wunderkind gerry reads trilogy of 12 inches arrives to round off the first stellar year for fourth wave. all by myself carelessly builds and chops through a dusty loop and brooding male vocal, like a inebriated bum woozily recalling all but forgotten nights dancing at the music box in the early 80s. continuing on the chicago theme, gerry cracks out a jazzy sample and clipped vocals on what a mess blending in his own unique style the unlikely bedfellows of disco house and drone. drone disco house, anybody?

this 4-track ep is the first official release from new jerseys mikeq, one of the unquestioned leaders of the current vogue-house scene, and follows in the wake of a slew of self-released tunes he has dropped over the past few years. let it all out is also the second record on kingdoms fade to mind imprint, which has already received mountains of praise despite its short discography. largely built upon raw, upfront drum sounds, recycled snippets of hip-hop and r&b, and, most importantly, the ever-present >ha< (itself a repurposed masters at work sample), vogue house seemingly offered the sort of sound that tastemaking and blog-reading djs would snap up with aplomb. hell, even diplo championed the ballroom scene. yet, for whatever reason, the expected vogue-house explosion hasnt really happened. while a handful of non-ballroom producers and djs (most coming from the world of bass music) have experimented with the genre, the music essentially continues to hum along in the underground.

say hello to rest! ...the new label of herb lf (westpark unit, gush collective, draft recordings, supafeed) and phil decker (sensual touch recordings)! for a start the two labelrunners are entering their brand new stage in person as their project discoshit. after recently having taken part on the rhythm kings compilation by traveller records, next to ooft, nicholas or leonidas, they now present their debut ep strike a pose! heavy bass dub meets deep disco on the starter strike a pose! with its dubby vibe it stands for the spirit of the time. sound of... raises the pressure with a symbiosis of 80s funk and pure housesound. its getting hot,baby! breakers and househeads agree on deep chords and swinging handclaps on the dancefloor. if roy ayers would do slomo house, it might sound like biwak. crackling jazz warms up the cold club or serves up the perfect pick for a sunrise set. filtermadness and sample patchwork, in the end number one sneaks into the prime time with finesse and pop appeal. on top of that strike a pose! is presented in a stylish cover artwork by elinasolomonov(arte tv).

after 25 years bordello a parigi offers you these mid-80s italo-disco-bangers on vinyl again. three old killer releases transformed in one reissue. the three course menu contains the two 1985 hard hittin d. carred obscurities and continues with this spicey hidden gem >i ll go where i like to go< from rambles, which was d. carreds first production on vinyl in 1984. on top of this sunny mountain of an italian pie you will get two extra remixes of >you ll be a winner< by the danish creme de la creme of italo: flemming dalum and mike salta. comes with beautiful picture cover and illustrated inner sleeves. limited pressing of 500 records. an action packed must have!

the first liaison of those two guys might be entitled as a generation clash. young gun kitt bang became a famous munich resident dj in the past 10 years for instance at the famous zombocombo freaktheatre. the old dog enne spins and produces records since almost 30 years. he created and remixed tacks for labels like: compost, permanent vacation, nang, tirk, just to name a few. the miraculous - funky - weird - dance music on this 12inch is the result of plenty hours studio sessions by using minimoog, microkorg & similar analog devices, furthermore live guitar of guest musician simon i.t.c. with this 3 track 12 inch they tried to go a step beyond of the actual nu disco glut. to make it round we deliver a remix by migumatix (courtesy of freaktown records) a munich based shootingstar too.

the detroit area artist/producer once called ibex is no more. due to other artists copying the ibex brand, tony ollivierra will now be recording as his real name under his new label northside district. this first release demonstrates a continued appreciation for the roots of electronic music, with several of these tracks sounding like they were buried in a time capsule back in 1987, and unearthed after marinating for twenty years or so. this should come as no surprise, since tony has been producing tracks for about that long.

volta is one of the most sought after producers in russia. one of the newest members to the balance music groups family and he brings versatility like no other producer out there. his productions go in every direction from cosmic disco to deep techno. he is also known as isaev and his other alias common people under the bal-ance alliance anchor. this young producer has set the course for the next generation of future producers. not only is he a producer but his live sets are second to none, and we are glad to have him in the family. the first song is empire times which is a throwback to the early nineties classic new york signature four on the floor sound with fuel injected synths and a great dance floor peak time get down groove. the second song is curious dreams this song has so many different elements, it is by far one of my favorites of the ep, it has an 80&#8223,,,s sound that crosses many different genres of music from disco to classic electro with a splash of house. the third song is called purple train another fantastic take on his production skills with this massive deep techno heater that will get the crowd moving with its deep chords and its lush drum programming makes it dance floor friendly for sure..then last but not least we have song four called ruby nights this song brings a minimal broken beat sound that has the elements of house with a twist. we at fi-nale are happy to have volta cab as a member and we want to share his gifts with you. we would like to thank you for your loving support. stay true to the roots. love you

for a while it was the perfect label… no,were not (yet) talking about gomma from munich,also an excellent address. this is about the legendary company casablanca records&filmworks from hollywood who during the second half of the 70s literally skyrocketed and played an essential part in shaping modern disco music. besides scoring some mega successes with their famous leading acts donna summer, kiss und village people, casablanca revolutionized the development of electronic dance music like no other label.

the young, newly founded label lofile proudly presents its first ep wowmom brothers & sisters. wowmom is a collective of three djs and producers that focus on deep house but are influenced by a far wider range of music - with shapes and strings of detroit techno to chicago house. together, off. exile, simon busse and marbod got four beautiful minimalistic tracks recorded on vinyl with remixes by johannes albert, mod. civil and boytalk. dark, but clearly minimalistic, pearling and with a profound deepness, lfr 001 is like a small detail of a picture. you can dream the rest around it and imagine what will follow.

talkin bout pop music.pop & eye return on great form. overdubbed overtures from all four corners of the dance music world with recognition value,virtue and elegance: space r&b, atlantis disco, carribean new wave, minimal boogie and a declaration of love. four tracks like gentle uppercuts.

theshining are morgan zarate and acyde, a produc-tion/dj duo who decided to put the sum of their mu-sicianship and influences together. the result is hip-hop influenced beats, with sound-system inspired vo-cals, the sound of after hours, dark clubs and the morning after. heyyou is their first single, a glorious flash of psy-che style keys and hard hip-hop drums, with the un-forgettable chorus hey you…know you think youre a star, a much needed call to arms to stop posing and hit the dance-floor. tell me (im wrong) continues where heyyou lea-ves off, a glimpse into their dark side, with a stom-ping rhythm backed by a triumphant horn section: like a conversation between rick rubin & fela kuti

for the inside job ep, beat pharmacy leaves dub in the background, taking things in a more straight ahead house and techno direction. percussive without being oppressively banging, melodic without excessive nooding, tracks like >inside job< and >comet< nevertheless retain the intense attention to subtle detail that define moellers more dubwise productions. >in a trance in france< takes things into a deeper more hypnotic realm, and >hootin & tootin< toughens things up with an ominous analog bassline and thunderous kick drums sure to ignite a mainroom dancefloor. yet even here, echoes and melodic elements sweep through the mix, lest you forget who was working the boards.

nu sound and version is an 11-track album of re-workings, re-mixes and re-recordings of tracks originally recorded by lee perry and produced by adrian sherwood and the on-u sound crew.

nice price deal !!! dro carey from sydney has been making waves for a while now, as both an audio and visual artist and journey with the heavy crystallises a disconnected ambiguity that defines its own melodic path like a red carpet slowly unravelling, only to be seen to have been cut up and slashed beyond recognition.

giueseppe cennamo, head honcho of carillon records and a true gentleman from naples, returns to desolat with 4 inimitable tracks. let your love flow with its infectious minimal groove and mantra-like sample repetition, stomping >dont move<, bass heavy >marimba< which was one of loco dice secret weapons for a while now, and a stumbling >dance till tomorrow< with its spooky shouts – here we have 4 inimitable dancefloor tracks on coloured 12 inch with a label artwork by samitoon

>let life dance thru you< reveals itself as a safari of live played percussion, instruments and sounds. the duo create here a biotope of sounds that interact with each other... like a live band would do… at times almost arabesque sounding this track is full of mysterious soundscapes... jazzy played instruments... flutes running havoc... it could as well be: a spiritual voodoo session from the 70ies!
the whole sound selection if it would be described in colors, would be dark brown, black... with bits of gold. no shiny lights or illuminated plains. almost 11.00 minutes long this track is a real journey and certainly for the people who know rather than feeding djs.

7 year old spaniard alberto pascual is the latest techno talent to be welcomed into the plus 8 fold with vertigo, his debut ep for the label. a skilled dj and live performer, pascual has been producing since 2004, with over 30 releases to his name, all of which pursue a direct and powerful techno style. its much the same on vertigo, the title track of this ep which hits loopy depths immediately. dramatic fx, crunchy hats and tension mounting hisses fill out the spaces between the beats, but the militant, marching groove never wavers. truchas rancias is more reserved: economical arrangements characterise the techno eeriness this time, forever hinting something is just around the corner but never quite showing you. final vinyl cut continuous learning is more unhinged, with swirling synths, dripping water sounds and shadowy voice sounds all coming together like classic plus 8 weaponry.

this ep was formed with a concept in mind that involves a natural phenomenon occurring in various/different fields of science and nature - anti-parallelism. as the word suggests, anti-parallelism describes the natural relationship between two occurrences, objects or even non-material things, that are virtually identical and yet oriented in different directions. during the time the music was made i was researching natural phenomenons like this one. naturally, this became part of the nucleus, fabric and inspiration for this work. in genetics, for example, if the antiparallelity is corrupted during the process of dna replication it is called a mutation. this mutation can be anything from totally inconsequential to critical for the survival of the whole living organism. a double helix of dna contains two helixes, that are naturally anti-parallel to one another. in physics this could be two of the same objects moving through space and time in opposite directions - just like the instruments or parts of a beat in electronic music production. so metaphorically speaking,anti-parallelism holds a natural balance to keep it safe and stable. although this might sound all very conceptual and theoretical this music is obviously just what it is - it is not intended to teach math, physics or biology in any way. the above mentioned aspect has simply found its way through my head and might have led to a piece of music that somehow, at least for me, is connected to these thoughts. it might evoke something very different for you.

backflash - as the title of kellerkinds new ep on stil vor talent rightly suggests - is a full-blown blast from the past that utilises 80s aesthetics in order to craft a wonderfully contemporary ep much in vain of the en vogue sound of 2011: slow, forceful goovers with basslines so big, they might just crush you. nothing less was to be expected of the charismatic swiss producer marco biagini who has already proven his wide-ranging understanding of house music with tracks like länzer is a dänzer or groovebox.

amazing debut release of these talented guys from napels, italy. they deliver three classic yet fresh deep house/tracks that can easily compete with the best that early u.s. labels like kms or prescription had to offer back in the days. with their warm & lush chords & basslines and superb analog drum programming they showcase a deep understanding of what this music is about. very deep, warm, funky & mysterious release. tracks by leskin, rio padice and massimo di lena.

the brand new triphouse rotterdam label kicks off with a full ep by utrechts electronic boy wonder frits wentink. although being just 23 years of age, the dutch talent displays some highly advanced production techniques and delivers a vibrant and very modern take on house music. not sounding like anything else out there and with a real strong sense of identity this youngster clearly has a bright future ahead of him. the result of his work is an irresistible smasher that will cause some serious stir on dance floors and home systems alike.

remixes of the track skill shot, which is included on the >20 - two decades of hardfloor< album and originally released on the album >all targets down< from 1998. versalife is a restless producer from terschelling, holland, who strives only to combine digital and analogue together into atmospheric, well designed pieces of music.with such an honest mission, its no wonder the man known as boris bunnik aka conforce has had continued success recently, with a number of singles, eps and albums coming on respected imprints like clone, delsin, meanwhile and rush hour.pip williams from the uk began djing in his ear teens, making electronic mix- tapes for friends in the safe confines of his bedroom. after gentle persuasion from his fanbase, live gigs followed including residencies across london and gigs in europe.a foray into music production was a logical progression.having run its natural course after a string of successful releases, pips drive to showcase his music was still rampant.

please welcome: its the arps! oslos magic music maker todd terje has already gained a wunderkind like reputation for his gentle yet potent productions (we wont mention the e-word here) on labels like full pupp, permanent vacation or running back on top of being one of the best remixers money can buy (shit robot, bryan ferry, dølle jølle et cetera et cetera). what is there left for him to do? establish a label of his own! >its the arps< is the starting signal for olsen. and what a splendid one it is. created from scratch and solely on the mythical synthesizer arp 2600 (check www.letsnerd.com for help), it features four tracks (reads instant classics) that couldn’t be a better follow-up to his 2011 super hit ep >ragysh<.

- send more cats, because we like them- must have been on the minds of less and phony pinch as they decided to remix two tracks by this band. performing an outstanding warm and likeable voice, lysann zander is the lead singer of send more cats and the dri

limited and anonymous techno 12 inch on transparent vinyl. this is all the label has to say: violet like winter twilights. poison like raw madness. the first ep of this new imprint run by a mysterious man in a dungeon is the result of a powerful potion of neo-industrial techno and electronic rawness.

with the 2001 release of the fruit bats debut album, echolocation, eric d. johnson embarked on a career in music that has, to date, included ten years with the fruit bats, sideman duties for bands including califone, vetiver and the shins, and more recently, soundtrack work for films like ceremony and the soon-to-be-released paul rudd comedy our idiot brother. tripper, the new and fifth fruit bats full-length, was recorded at wacs studio in los angeles with thom monahan, best known as producer for the last four vetiver albums, devendra banharts cripple crow, and the pernice brothers.

second installment for par wax. this time the series continues with label manager george paar delivering two original tracks destined for the underground techno arena. molecula 5312 is a track in itself the source for this record. the number sequence used in the title of this track represent s the combination a cyclist uses to obtain a hard cadence. thus this track delivers a cadence that is continuous and solid just like two pistons delivering force evenly. damien schneider s remix is a track that has an intricate groove that will make an instant bond with the listener and destroy any intelligent dance floor to pieces. espectroscopia the second original track in this record flirts with the astros, the unknown space that is above us. lastly m_patcher s edit is a unique piece of music directed to the experimental minimal and somewhat the unexpected. truly a track that flirts with strokes of sonic waves. the rest is for you to listen and judge with your own ears. preview. including remix by damien scheneider + edit by m_patcher.

the ep begins innocently enough. but as you progress into the tracks, entitled a1, a2, and a3, it feels like searching for pleasure where you know you shouldnt. the beat in this clandestine affair has just enough restraint. by the time darkside concludes, you know the catharsis is worth the sin.

after several releases and remixes on different labels like yellow tail, blufin, parquet, trapez, traum, klasse records, rebirth, definitive, david keno is back home on his own imprint with 2 very soulful and housy tracks. alex flatner (cocoon, poker flat, circle) takes stars above into a more clubby and functional context

after the first release result 001 from alex flatner / hermanez with remxes by christian burkhardt and leon the second release result002 is produced by olene kadar including a big markus fix remix oldeholtwolte – olene – kadar - these three exotic terms describe an extraordinary musician. olene kadar, who is also known as henk van zwol from oldeholtwolde, is an intriguing personality with a remarkable sense for music and hairstyle. in 2007 the young dutchman supplied the nightlife with a series of rocking live-sets in places like the sugar factory and studio 80 in amsterdam. he surprised many a friend and competitor and he has accomplished the fact of you reading his biography. thanks. anotable remark is that this outstanding man has shaped a huge passion for music and creativity. because of his a-typical way of performing he is seen as the most promising liveact of this moment. after an unequalled performance at studio 80 daniel mumbling sanchez already called him the dutch alphex twin coaxingly however, because this is not how henk sees himself. the next critic of his performance at the mos ferry party at the distillery in leipzig, had a more catchy description: chaotic, unconventional , freaky , flachen und minimale beats, verzerrungen, zahlreiche breaks, sublimierter wahnsinn!

for fans of glaubmir001 .. raumakustik should be a notion – at the latest after their successful single >glaub mir doch< this year. the duo from dresden, germany was always on the go in 2011 with several and remixes for labels like deich records, klang gymnastik or keimzelle. and right before 2012 they strike back with >traumtanzen<. this is pure dancefloor pleasure and already approved within the last months. to complete the label debut of grain audio mister marcapasos (toka beatz, housesession, dusted decks) delivers a real house remix to get you back to the good old days.
