addison groove (aka antony williams) bestritt als headhunter seit 2007 sieben releases auf dem einflussreichen label tempa und erwarb sich einen kultstatus innerhalb der dubstep-szene. 2010 kam dann die überraschende wendung mit einem der fettesten bass-tracks der dekade (footcrab),und das unter dem neuen pseudonym: addison groove.das feedback zu footcrab seitens der dance-szene war phänomenal,von kritiker- wie von kommerzieller seite. nicht nur die dubstep-djs,sondern diesmal auch techno- & house dj-schwergewichte wie aphex twin, surgeon, ricardo villalobos und mr scruff spielten footcrab hoch und runter und machten addison groove einem breiteren publikum bekannt.addison grooves einfluss auf die uk-bass music-szene ist gewichtig und ungebrochen, und sein von chicago ghetto tek und der juke-szene inspirierter style führte zu einem großen interesse an diesen neuen genres der bass music.die erwartungen sind hoch, doch wir sind überzeugt,dass niemand enttäuscht sein wird.hört selbst!

for the 4th release on their cocktail damore music, discodromo and boris bring you the exciting and extraordinary sound of lord of the isles. with a handful of releases for labels such as the japanese ene and firecracker offshoot, unthank, lord of the isles is currently one of the most talked about names in the electronic music scene. the sound in these 4 tracks moves between ambient electronica, planet e techno, kompakt shuffling trance (check out the sublime searching) and mid tempo balearic house chuggers, with squelches and bubbles in all the right places. they are highly sophisticated deep-disco house movements encrusted with splurges of sonic texture. lord of the isles has amassed support from a long list of both seasoned and new school djs, including masters like david mancuso & dj harvey, who included one loti s track on his recent x mix cd, andrew weatherall, daniel wang, fudge fingaz and linkwood. as usual: limited to 250 copies, 12 inch in 4 colors cover - no digital. hurry up, vinyl only!

we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.
comes as double 10 inch vinyl, including cd-version of this release.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

remember our first vinyl introducing the belgian plastikman? nico is back!

thats what the world needs ...... love

semtek leaves the comfort of his excellent dont be afraid imprint to supply the third 12 inch on andy blake s in plain sight label, following stellar turns from youngtee and maarten van der vleuten. its not the first time blake has called on the london-based producers services - world unknown devotees will remember the monolithic >tacos for dinner< cut in association with chardonnay that appeared on that labels most recent 12 inch. >couer de lyon< is a chunky house jam of the highest order, shuffling hats, a stripped back bassline and a vocal many of you will recognise from one of mks most legendary remixes combine for a cut that overflows with sultry late night passion. flip over for some soundtracky house in the shape of >beaufort<, an analogue jam in the mould of legowelt that retains a club-ready potency and thus offers a more heads-down alternative to the a-side.

part 3/3! close your eyes and let go. born in hannover daso enchanted us with this track. it is constantly building up until sunrise. this is how we got to know daso when he was playing his first gig at a treibgut getting our guests up and going. in hannover this night is known as the topless-party-animals-night. not many are as familiar with the treibgut sound as mario aureo proving with this tune. a year ago it was all hands up at treibgut but know we set it free to be passionately celebrated at other parties. leave the orchestra in rehearsals – until they have finished we keep on celebrating to the deep bassline for the plane has just landed. moritz approached this tune verytooly. we just remember him setting up stage for the party, ordering pizza and watching football. frieder, our youngest member, never looses the concept of time and spaces but this track has so much atmosphere in it that you can imagine which cloud he is on. the track comes in easy-going leaving you floating to the end

in september 1985 four of the greatest musicians of the 20th century returned to the studio in memphis where it all began: carl perkins, jerry lee lewis, roy orbison and johnny cash went back to sam phillips sun records studio to record an ode to elvis presley & the city they all loved.
it was their goal to reassert the vitality of their art outside the often stifling definitions of the music industry and to reassert the vitality of memphis as a music-making centre of great potential.
>memphis rock & roll homecoming<, with its mix of jazz, blues, country, gospel, rock n roll and soul, is now a proud part of the legendary citys legacy!

wax classic is a brand new skylax sub – label. for this 3rd release, we give you the opportunity to grab 5 fantastic trax done by housemaster : jason grove.born in detroit, he started his career in the late 80s, dj-ing in underground parties when the techno house movement was just at the beginning. he was invited few times on detroit local stations such as wdrq & wjlb to play. some said he was at that time very close to the >wizard<, helping producing their first tracks with anthony srock as final cut. he had many opportunities during the 90s to release some of his work on various prestigious labels, however, as the guy is really hardcore & straight edge, he prefered to continue producing only with analog gears (dont ever speak to him about a computer or he?ll get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). after the incredible release we had on wax classic 1 (another skylax sub – label), you can grab finally the 2 nd part of those legendary tapes.

techno legends broom & mac with slamming prime time techno

norm talley tackles techno. yes, you heard that right… in spite of 3 tracks on the original transmissions that fell a little closer to what the heads would expect from a very reliable source, it was that first one that everyone begged for more of. we must agree that those 3 minutes were just a little of a tease, so here is the full 9-minute extended cut of “man on the moon” that all of you asked for, and what a trip it is! certainly funky broken-beat techno is a new look for norm, but it’s pretty obvious in all 9 of the minutes here that this is a man from detroit making the music he knows best. there’s a groove and a touch here that speaks of soul and experience… although you may find this one in the crates of some of the new school techno elite, it’s safe to say they couldn’t have made it the way norm talley did. even if you remember part one you may be surprised where he takes it, but we’re even more pleased to say that “earth 2 moon” beats it at its own game. this one made our necks snap and heads turn the very first time.

alex and bill met 16 years ago when bill signed one of alex s first productions (is this the rhythm? by rhythmnvibe) to a new york label he was running. alex, whose father lives in the us, was a regular visitor to the states and they sent many happy hours together hanging out at the sound factory bar and comparing maw dubs. when bill returned to the uk in 1996, they had a few sessions together making house music, though neither of them can remember why they never finished anything or, indeed, what became of the tracks. fast forward a few years and they finally got back into the studio to make sweet music together under the moniker hotel motel. since then they have created a rich seam of work that some have already described as, like salvador dali with his pants down being fellated by deirdre barlow. few would disagree.

the original horsemen concept was initially conceived by 4 minds coming together through one unifying vision. those minds were of: ink, loxy, keaton and dylan. carving out their own unique take on drum & bass. fusing together specific elements that would form the fundamental cornerstones of the horsemen sound: raw original sampled breaks, heavy sub bass and dub elements. this style and concept has since seeped into the consciousness of a new wave of producers across the globe and has influenced and evolved into the sonics presented here on this album. ink and loxy in conjunction with renegade hardware are proud to present: horsementality...
dj support: ink, loxy, cern, marky, alix perez, spy, btk, optiv, sabre, bailey (1xtra) , flight (rinse fm) + many more.

limited elvis presley limited classic 12 inch lp on black vinyl!

this is a great track holgi gave to emerson during the last weeks and it truly is a hell of a tune, one of those you just hear once and remember ever since from then on,…. it has this warm crisp feel, nice chords and a monstrous groove that makes the good looking girls wanna go crazy. i am sure you want to have that one in your crate just in case,… the sound is slightly more referring to the minimal/tech house beginnings of the micro.fon labelsound but still it perfectely adds up to the labels profile. included are two high class remixes by tim xavier

soniculture, the lisbon-based label, proudly presents billy dalessandros 5th album entitled cracktime. this project forges a new generation of production style and sound design for billy as he cocks the shotgun of his latest experiment in electronic debauchery. cracktime sonically defines those innocent and naughty moments that each of us exhibit, in our own way, that helps to fulfill our lives with all those insane memories we carry with us back to the grave. thirteen tracks round out this ring match in a dub-infused, 303- injected, chicago-style bassd-out fight that lasts just about an hour. so sit back (or jack back) to the show, and remember...that if religion is the opium of the masses, music definitely gives us our daily crack.

fright returns after a long absence in which we sought refuge in hades during the hail storm of gothic hysteria that passed over earths minions. some may remember us from the breakthrough debut release from gatekeeper or the unholy italo-techno alliance we shared with antoni maiovvi. now finally, we return, this halloween, with our most ominous mission yet. naum gabo aka glasgows jonnie wilkes (1/2 of optimo) and james savage started their illustrious career with a trio of releases as naum for kompakts speicher series then have most recently gone on to release music on dissident, thisisnotanexit, endless flight, world unknown and most recently optimo music. created and recorded between 2010 and 2011 in their hottrax studio, naum gabo have come up with > the crystal line<, > galena< and > dmitris darkness<. specifically delivered in mind for fright, they keep true to the labels mission of releasing music for unseen films with 3 mid-tempo and certainly melancholic gems that also maintain an unmistakable ng groove for the stranger dancefloors we know and love. an absolute highlight, > the crystal line< is dedicated to the late, great kurt hauenstein aka supermax. superbly cut loud at 45rpm, this epic tribute is what vinyl addicts dream of hearing.

coeter one shows two tracks in perfect style of the label. nutempo vinyl records means high-quality of minimal techno. sounds clean, modern and dark. repetitiveness that joins cadenced rhythms, perfect for the dancefloor. never boring and always something unexpected. the remix of >dreesch< signed by veteran mike wall (der hut, aspekt, eins plus, etc.) is decidedly more techno, sounds coming from deep, riffs that seem to remember an old school .. but fresh and strong. the version of >lankow< signed dubit (eminor) is essential and deliberately directed to the dancefloor in the darkest moments.

after a handful of smashing remixes and compilation features on nang records, lusty zanzibar returns to the fold with a cracking solo effort named the >the feeling ep.< title track is a spaced out exercise in immersive square-wave programming, reminiscent of the pre-internet computer gaming age when colours were 8-bit and vivid, and soundtracks were hyper-colour opuses. the complex synth work is underpinned by a driving beat with ethereal vocal wisps and crystalline pads. nice. the first of three remixes for >the feeling< comes from ilya santana, with his >celestial version<, and celestial it is indeed! a picturesque scene is set, the rhythm is wound back and a super laid back vibe allows the vocal line >remember how you are feeling< to sit more purposefully in the mix, alongside the tip-toeing bass line and often euphoric chords. up next comes the max essa dub version, introducing some arp-synth subtleties, replacing the main vocal hook to great effect. to finish we have a mix from fear of theydon who brings a touch of arpeggiated femininity and tasteful woodblock percussion to the table. its a fulfilling yet sultry up-beat journey.

we have a limited number of exclusive white vinyl 7 inches brought in to us by kyle hall on his own imprint - jay simon does an edit of the excellent >i remember< from faith evans. very limited run!

possibly the biggest release on off in 2011 so far! off 26 introduces two new talents to the label: berlin-based friends daniel dexter and nhan solo. they deliver >our thang<, a dead-funky discofied summer tune, based on samples which all lovers of 90ies hiphop will dearly remember. on the flip side, labelowner andre crom & martin dawson deliver a deeper, more linear interpretation, based around a mighty bassline and an epic slowdown in the main break. second remix comes from luca lozano & sacha robotti, who score with a raw and toolish groove, adding further elements of the sampled song and additional sweet vocals.
