having forged a keen army of converts to their late night audio nights & establishing a reputation as one of londons best underground parties, it was only a matter of time before they started their own label to release the music they & their party people love to dance to. expect the finest in deep electronic house, balearic boogie and italo flavours, all expertly mastered onto luxurious vinyl with slick graphic artwork. the first artist signed and to be released on the label is french/u.s producer kevin lemonnier recording under the name of das volt. this man uses no plug-ins and a resolutely old skool production philosophy. utilising all analogue signal paths through outboard and vintage gear. his music is justifiably compared to the luxuriously warm and pared down output of metro area, capturing that legendary period between disco & proto house by being a stickler for authenticity. gestures is a modern take on the electro boogie sound, pizzicato strings, silky rhodes and fat bass all blended to create a dance floor gem. fantasy is a modern italo disco classic, with epic pianos setting the mood over a driving trouser flapping bass line. remixes come courtesy of italian outfit telespazio s fabrizio mammarella - who does his deep electro funk thing with immediate dance floor effect, and toby tobias of rekids and late night audio fame, who completes the package with a killer balearic boogie interpretation

ltd pic disc !!! iggor cavalera is recognized throughout the world as a master drummer and former member of none other than brazilian heavy-metal band sepultura. however, he is as much familiar with turntables and mpcs and he is with a drum kit, taking his credo of hard beat beat and applying it to other projects. as mixhell, he and his wife, laima leyton, combine dancefloor and hard rock sensibilities for dj sets and their productions (just check their great remix for clp, previously on boysnoize records, which is a mix of brasilian baily and rave) for this release bnr bring back young star brodinski, who did his first remix ever for d.i.m. back in 2007 on bnr. he has made a name out there with great productions (turbo, mental groove) and remixes (radioclit, ed banger, bonde du role), supported by a wide range of djs like sven väth, laurent garnier, erol alkan and the ed bangers - to name a few. he has touched mixhells song “highly explicit” and made it to the perfect spring house hymne. he took the balearic elements of the original combined with a classic house arrangement and when it comes to the massiv break the track reveals a clear message: this is a hit. a must for every house or techno dj in the upcoming spring and summer season

after the resounding success of lunarjam001 the leeds based lunar cadets ticker & cristoidz return with some seriously out there, and rare as roast beef edits for your late night perusal. their first release flirted and got frisky with hott city, loveride and david byrne and put them through the lunar jam cosmic mixer. they have forsaken such formalities with this release though, and have unearthed four tracks from even deeper and darker corners of their collections, and given them a serious going over. already garnering much support from such balearic luminaries as prins thomas & moonboots as always, limited to initial press only polysleeve and photocopied inlay!

ok... a one time pressing of four absolutely awesome underground balearic/basement/boogie/soul bombs from this collective of japanese/london musicblog authors. safe to say, these guys definitely know what they re doing, being something of an archeological resource for the finest hidden club music in existence. 500 copies only to cover costs - their motivation being music not money!!

the first release for 2009 on universal vibes welcomes new artist keep the secrets. after a long history of musical trial and error, john renfrow and deric jones decided that it was time to take a different direction in their musical vision. it started two years ago with a simple beat and a slow jazz guitar, and soon developed into an eclectic fusion of musical expression. each note ebbs and flows with hints of many different styles and genres. both members of keep the secrets have found level ground in creating a sound that ambitiously exceeds the musical standards of today, and have vowed to honor their dreams by releasing songs that they love. with a definite balearic vibe running throughout, they compliment the uv vibe perfectly while adding a new stylistic angle. label head paddy freeform provides two edits which stretch the tracks out into dancefloor heaven.

highly energetic disco from the rong camp with cheeky organ melody and big string backings. the flip is more on the balearic tip with a stripped down percussive groove, lazy guitar musings and dubby effects.

three tracks from different corners of the disco spectrum. with: din a testbild going tutu, a crazy experimental electro wave track sounding fashionably cosmic for todays standards. next up is in demand italo track back to heaven by number one ensemble, an overlooked piece of heavenly disco. flip for the highly sought after too much by byron. a slo mo italo track that has balearic written all over it.

oblios smooth sound and spacious pads fit perfect in to the so called balearic vibe. if you are not in a rush and have a moment to listen, you will enjoy the typical oblio melodies and chord progressions. like all oblio songs there is lots of synth and arpeggios and no samples.

bumrocks.com delivers a fine selection of super rare edits and remixes for all lovers of balearic sound and space-disco.

would you have remembered? with the debut album of the 32-year-old warszawian, téchnè, cocoon recordings has released the first artist album ever on the label six years ago, at that from an artist who was not well-known to a large extent back then. this has changed fundamentally: with his releases on his own label recognition as well as on trapez or klang elektronik, sienkiewicz belongs to those ambassadors of modern individual electronic dance music who set benchmarks. this is also his demand with the two tracks on “my little place”, meanwhile his fourth release for cocoon recordings. while the over-heated my little place re-interprets the credo of dub with polyrhythmic elements, delays and echo in an somehow unfamiliar way, “com-bat” carries on sienkiewicz tradition of putting hypnotic sound evocations close to the ten-minute mark. with intensive melancholy, the percussive bass rotor of com-bat creates a bewitched hymn for sunrises somewhere in between the urban desperation of detroit, the atmosphere of after hours and balearic bliss
