this is a whole new level of weird - intones a disembodied voice on proximas thermal vision the lead track of his new 12 inch for tempa. it is a perfect summary of its disorienting appeal: winding upwards through a tense opening, it abruptly explodes into a turbulent salvo of percussion. its monstrous chunks of sound chop violently back and forth from speaker to speaker, assaulting dancers from all sides and broadsiding the senses, while sub-bass blasts upward from beneath. it is both alien and astonishingly intense, poised to detonate on dancefloors without ever resorting to stereotypical club banger tricks. it is easy to hear why proximas tracks have become regulars in dubstep scene figurehead youngstas record bag.

this release bumps and bangs in all of its aspects! the track >red< rumbles out of the speaker with exuding vitality and stubbornness. considerably more lightfooted, the >black< night steps in. closely followed by number 3 >blue<, a track that is floating on a carpet of synths and at the same time goes uncompromisingly for pure rhythm. this whole ep is a series of composition focused on analog machines and taking influences from early 90s raw house. ps: made to be played loud

vinyl only, 180 gramm pressing, red vinyl and strong limited. this release is for every deeply packed record bag. primary >colours< is proud to follow up their blue release with another fantastic, limited, vinyl only treat. echo inspectors, ‘ghost flight’, is chosen for the red release in this 3 colour series. with a philosophical notion, ghost flight is an eclectic journey into deep, dubby techno. this scratchy, stepping, techno groove is surrounded by rootsy elements accompanied by superb bass. the delayed, washy elements and soul grabbing overtone are all superlative in aggregation – >a spirit of an age to which no one can return.<
salz dub has certainly salted up the flavor on this release. with their unique signature of swinging dub tech they deliver a faithful yet revived edit of >ghost flight<. this track sucks you in for the whole journey! the infectious groove, vocal edit and drop are nothing short of fantastic.

new jacking retro dance mania chicago vibes on this new label from malmo! first release comes from patrick sjerén. he produced a whole lot of acid and techno back in the 90s (one which omar s picked up for his 998 release). this release comes with an cool remix by rivet!

our second release of 2013 comes from lovers rights, the glasgow based-trio featuring members of golden teacher, silk cut & dam mantle. on this, their debut release for high sheen, they have laid down 4 killer house cuts spawned from improvisation heavy, free flowing electronic jams and completed with painstaking attention to detail. from the raw, rolling subs of urn to the complex multi textured synth patterns of mt. florida, each track has its own individual identity all the while working together within the cohesive whole of the ep. this is electronic dance music built with dancefloor freakouts in mind and we absolutely love it. the 12 inch comes packaged in a twice hand screen printed, roughcast sleeve, designed by sam bellacosa.

albinos has now been meaning to open communication channels with the baka pigmy tribe for quite some time, sadly to mixed results… this indeed represents a rather difficult task considering their take on the devil is a tall white man graced with white hair and red eyes! even though the baka people is a peaceful one, the legend goes that if they were to catch that albino devil, they would gut its organs out and turn those into an aphrodisiac concoction. strangely enough, albinos believes that his music just might be the best language to turn those antagonistic feelings into a communion, he even dreams of performing his tunes to the whole tribe, deep within the jungle, surrounded with exotic birds and the most hungry kind of predators! somewhat at times on the verge of irony, his music definitively trades with sketchy, raw and deep emotions, always sincere in the making: always a few steps away from the pre-shaped house and techno idioms, he offers his very own take on dance music, a most peculiar one. solely using old cheap hardware and an antique atari, the tracks at hand are one-take live performances, brutal incarnations of albinos simple virgin vision. as the quest for the baka people goes on, the antinote team is proud to help shed light on the journey of this obscure producer hailing from the grand north.

weve got the two titans teaming up once again on eternity, and there is no letting up as the cyclic sensibilities and swirling pads engulf the unsuspecting listener, letting the crackling rhythm section lead the way to the intense breakdown, reminding us exactly of who we are listening to. subtle details add to the grandiosity of the whole affair, and yet another lesson in anthem-construction has been delivered by the two masters.

oneoffs is a new sub label under the ever growing local talk umbrella. with oneoffs we have a clear vision to deliver not only one house style but to be very open minded within the whole spectrum of 4/4 rhythms. it is all about being musically curious, free and looking at house music with both retro, current and futuristic specs. so basically dont expect anything, our aim is to surprise you! the first release has three different producers from sweden, ireland and spain showcasing three different styles of house.

mr raoul k finally got one of his personal ‘heroes to do a remix on one of his tracks. joe claussel takes ‘ayoka (taken from ‘neo-evolution 02?) to a whole new level. he adds a lot of jazz-tingend sounds (especially percussion) and athmosphere but manages to keep the overall african timbre of the original.

doubleheart, the collaborative project of two of scotlands longest serving creative individuals in electronic music - jd twitch (optimo espacio) and neil landstrumm. taking its name from title song *roots* - a sub heavy, tension building track that re-imagines jamaican dub poet michael smiths original from the seminal 1982 album ‘mi cyaan believe it - the ep as a whole works as an analogue exploration into the rawer side of dance music. working together allows these veteran producers to fuse their individual styles and musical sensibilities, combining landstrumms raw aesthetic and mastery of hardware manipulation with twitchs unrivalled knowledge of what makes a dancefloor tick. spawning from the depths of their imaginations and machines are 4 club-ready tracks brimming with anticipation and menace. although taking its inspiration from 80s electro and 90s acid & rave, the final result is far from a throwback to a halcyon, bygone era. instead, they have managed to carve out a distinctive sound the bleeps and bangs its way firmly into 2013.

knox is the band brainchild of brother-sister duo nic and eliza coolidge. hailing from boston and new york, the siblings released their second ep, here, on december 3rd, and it is a big step forward for the band. formed less than two years ago, in march 2011, knox finds themselves working with the likes of john tejada and kuxxan suum on this release, and the outcome is stunning. here is five-song set full of ice and echoes. it runs as close to the third rail of impersonation, but flies away so quickly that knox sounds contextual and perfectly fresh. the influences from james blake is clear: the swooping, bomber bass and half-timey compressed dub beats, here could also easily be an inventive b-side to the latest how to dress well album. but, with the limited scale, interspersed remixes and foundling status in the scene, i would say it is likely a more impressive feat. the ep as a whole is desolate. expansive spaces filled with cold little beats and vocal washes, exploring in the course of five songs an icescape aesthetic with a sense of place usually reserved for full-length albums. the remixes blend so seamlessly that i didnt even realize they were during my first, casual listen.

enlightened wax returns with a fistful of kick drums to the face and a whole load of crunchiness to boot.

audiokratie, who puts out records since 2010, published his debutalbum - carnival of the odd. he shows his own introspection from experienced technonights & days, so you will find a whole carnival full of danceable memories about exuberance, craving and joy.

the new album by akiko kiyama, consisting of 2 vinyl records, has become the long-awaited debut for nervmusic records, to at once fully demonstrate the musical philosophy and vector of the label. deviation is not just a random selection of tunes, but a whole theatre act, made of sound patterns and melodies, a fantastic journey into a subspace of inner images and memories.

awesome sounding remastered re-issue of this super-rare underground disco belter from crosstown traffic. originally released in 1979 on tiny philadelphia label d.c. records, this highly collectable 12 inch still gets plenty of playtime today from djs such as dmitri and al kent. on the a-side >party people< slams you hard with funky basslines, furious disco beats, heady 70s synths and a whole load of party lyrics. truly infectious! then grooving sideways into your life is the b sides >love your family<. yet another disco gem, this tune is mellower yet will still have you running to the dancefloor with its first-class bass guitar riff, deeply-disco tambourines and hand-claps. great stuff!

fear of flying unleash their first ever lp with dutchman ivano tetelepta undertaking the honours. the 8 tracks on the vinyl are a step away from the traditional straight up 4/4 route that fof usually tread, feeling that for an lp to make a splash in the modern era it has to be more about the flow of tracks as a whole, rather than just a double pack of straight up house beats. there has to be a splash more emotion and feeling with the emphasis on mood. yet that isnt to say there arent club worthy tracks, far from it. the glorious twisted 120 and deep tech funk 119 are custom made for the dancefloor and are exclusive to the vinyl release

already a regular fixture on figure, swedish talent mikael jonasson returns for his third outing on the label with two cutting-edge techno experiments. incredibly crisp and clear, already primed for the worlds finest bigsystems, cravings encapsulates everything that a modern paranoid techno jam should be. surging textures, static-madness and a whole lot of detail wrapped up in a rolling, funky workout. jonasson is well known for his attention to detail and freaky, alien sound effects, and cravings only solidifies his talents there. the fizzing, low slung thump of swings still twists and shimmers in the high frequencies, full of details, but the deeper earthy kick and bass barrage take this one into more serious, heads-down zones. a real slammer for moments when you know youve captured your followers completely

two proper peak time house tracks here from the organ grinder blending uk garage vibes with traditional us house. my rendition is a refined and warm housey affair which kicks off on a light piano tip before the bass creeps in to disarm and charm dance floors. vocal snippets drop in over the breakdowns and the tracks irresistible melody to lead it to an intense atmospheric peak. jersey jam is a svelte jersey style future groover which sticks to the basic principles of crisp drums paired with a melodic hook set around a simple and quirky arrangement with an infectious vocal gluing the whole track together.

japans rhythm of elements return with another e.p. that display their versatility and belief in the many forms that soulful music can take. >tribe #3< contains the classic rhythm of elements combination of dj uchikawas firing electronic beats alongside virtuoso piano playing by makoto kuriya, plus bass by incognitos francis hylton. the track is a tribute to the late departed detroit electronic music artist aaron carl who sadly passed away last year. continuing the detroit connection, rick wilhite has been working with the likes of theo parrish and moodymann for years, and his remix of >tribe #3< provides an audio beatdown, stripping the whole thing down to its rawest elements, and supplying the hard and the smooth in perfect balance. >blow< is another journey into a percussive horn driven groove for the dancefloor. rhythm of elements provide the remix, layering the musical elements like flavours in a delicious cake. finally, >meditation bath< (loftsoul 2012 mix) takes the pace right down for this beautifully relaxing slow burner. close your eyes and let it flow over you.

after all efforts were put into jacob korns debut album during summer 2012 uncanny valley strikes back with namesake jacob stoy and his very first solo ep after his s51 for the uv010-compilation. everything starts with redensart, a sunny piece of music with a sneaky bassline and easy synth pads that come across like a warm rain shower: its house in the end but feels like so much more. hauswart is an impressive example of how one can create a whole atmosphere of sound within two minutes. its short but feels so comfortable that you really like it to go on and on forever. start is maybe the most conventional deep house track on the ep and seduces with catchy synth chords and thrilling drums. finally gegenwart brings things to a jazzy end with tipsy synths and tripping percussions. the artwork comes from none other than jacobs father olaf stoy, who is a painter, lyricist and porcelain designer still working in jacobs hometown rabenau near dresden.

andreas saag returns to local talk with a follow-up to his back to life ep, this time he has invited longtime friend and studio partner cazuma mori, together both of them offers the local talk fans house music with a distinctive production technique. >nostalgia< is a warm stomping basement beats floor-filler, with a fat bassline tempered by rising chord textures, smartly coordinated with the pulses in the track. both saag & cazuma showcases their skills in tackling slower bpms too. the b-side >cant hide it< comes with intricate keyboard work and deep atmosphere that is driven by an appealingly on-point house bassline. the track picks up a new elements at just the right moment to keep you on board the whole 8 minutes. there is no messin around here, just pure deep house from local talk.

nice price deal !!! aÑa / henning baer / norman nodge / musk.... no one knows exactly how, or why it happened. we can only postulate. perhaps it was rogue hydrogen atoms causing havoc again, or a particularly voracious wave of em radiation hell bent on finding a good time. the point is, (in those days) such lude behavior was simply unacceptable: aÑa had become excited, too much so for the solar stiffs that swirled about her. and that system of hers—always buzzing around, refusing to share anything—it had to go. so both were exiled from that collision patch they called home, leaving aÑa and her system to wander the cosmos. some years passed. aÑa grew a little, but mostly she practiced her basswalk—not this girly swooshy thing with your hips, but a real bolshy bovver boot stomp. after a while she got pretty good at it, she wanted to show her friends. maybe theyd like to basswalk too. well, they couldnt get enough of it—but no one did it quite like aÑa. henning baers had a bit more groove to it and this whole new tweaky hat element. norman nodge kept his pretty punchy, but all that time spent in berghain had turned his basswalk into a bit of a skulk. as for musk, the boys inverted the whole thing of course—turned a disco trick, shifting the march down into more of a slinky house glide. aÑa liked them all so much—and it was time isolated system stopped being such a separatist—she decided to gather them all together to make basswalker part i. now you can basswalk too

badance is a deep house and techno label based in paris, france. our label is for us a platform for beauty, dance, experimental, and every nuances that the spectrum of music has to offer.
for this first ep, we want to share with you who we are, what we love and what we will do. the name of the flight that marked the beginnings of badance was naturally chosen. we are proud to introduce you bmbf aka benny must be free, born and raised in paris. he travels through music to detroit, chicago, berlin and many other places in the world. he wanted to share this ubiquity by choosing artists from around the planet. naturally, one the main references in the world of deep house and techno was chosen: patrice scott. he created an inspiring abstract dubby remix. banfield audio as friends and music lovers were exactly in the vein of the artistic direction of the ep: deep, deep, deep. experimented and sensitive, they gave to >surround me< an abyssal atmosphere that fits perfectly with the whole ep. underground quality was searched we hope we found it. now, listen, share and enjoy.

chairlift present takes on several cuts from acclaimed second album >something< by some of their favorite producers, showcasing how their songs can easily be adapted for the club. appropriately titled the 6.15amix, spanish equipo fantástico john talabot and pional turn >i belong in your arms< into a balearica-infused club-closer. a nifty piano line and seductive rhythm take the song on a late night (or rather early morning) trip to the beach, while carolines voice is being warped into something from outer space. photek takes the same track to a whole different place with his powerful jungle interpretation. martyn respects both the pace and rhythm of sidewalk safari, yet exchanges the clean production for a rather more cosmic beat, incorporating many of his signature touches to compliment the sinister >i m gonna hunt you down< lyric. dan careys dub mix of >sidewalk safari< shows a more playful side, while arguably the most intriguing remix of the package is the fields take on >met before<, recalling his early work it is so warped and layered you may struggle to imagine the original minus the smallest of hints.

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!

hailing from an era still ripe with optimism, nate tinsleys sole ep on music station, under the moniker nathaniel x project, is one of the dopest 12 inches of the 1990s. embodying the now fading dreams of a whole generation of club children, the veritable political program was everything deep house strove to be: aspirational, socially-involved, visceral dance music with raw sincerity and unashamed soul.

the byrds were one of the earliest groups who could combine the best of two worlds. they caught on to the energy of the british invasion and combined it with the lyricism & musical elements of the contemporary folk movement. along the way they pioneered psychedelic and country rock, always keeping things recognizable with their vocal harmonies accompanied by their jangly guitars. their 1965 debut mr. tambourine man hit the flower generation like a bombshell. >one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock<, it melds their lyrical prowess with their compelling guitar riffs, and was the blueprint for their future sound. a classic, now back on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!
