after a considerable career releasing on numerous labels, as well as being co-founder of essen based label mild pitch, langenberg finally drops his first album under this alias. max heesen, (who is also one half of ribn with manuel tur) delivers the smartly titled central heated house for steve bug’s dessous recordings. the lp format suits langenbergs hypnotic house classicism well, allowing time and space to stretch out the grooves and moods over four sides of vinyl working both for the djs and perfect as a soundtrack for the autumn. the lp kicks off with jade, a melancholic, tape saturated introduction to langenbergs deep tastes. room 210 maintains this atmosphere, with fizzing percussion and warm detroit-esque melodies. groove 26 is perfectly timed for the hot summer, as lush rhodes chords and kdj style vocal snippets provide the heat for the openair vibes. the single from earlier this year shadows features the talents of vocalist blakkat, and caused some serious response when it hit airwaves and dancefloors alike. never worry is a heads down roller, built around a simple but perfectly executed bassline, while dreamliner is trippy laidback sunshine house all the way. ill be late and planitz proposal step back into the club, with langenbergs signature crisp percussion, crunchy hits and analog synth wizardry on full display. rain & roses closes out the album in a similar way to how it started wistful, thoughtful house music with soul.

hard ton, italy s extravagant duo of all things house music are back on luv shack records, unleashing six steaming hot tracks on the -queer nation ep- - a precursor to the first full hard ton album that is due for 2017. -queer nation- has singer max swapping his falsetto with a dark mangled voice, reciting names of queer icons over a dry acid house track that rejoices in repetition, and rightly so. classic music head honcho luke solomon s remix of -queer nation- builds up an intense 707 drum pattern, underlining rhythm guitars and max s voice, ending in a bold acid climax. italian newcomers younger than me also take on -queer nation-, marrying an early 80 s wave touch with a classic house approach.

rückblende. der krieg herrscht in kabul. nach einem bombenanschlag steht fuchy vor dem, was einmal sein zuhause war: alles ist schutt und asche und lähmender schmerz. er sieht sich um. nichts ist ihm geblieben, außer seinem querkopf und seiner superkraft, die musik. damit bewaffnet, bricht er auf in die ferne, fremde, ungewisse welt des westens. dies ist der narrative rahmen für die abenteuer des kleinen, kauzigen kämpfers fuchy. die geschichte eines geflüchteten aus afghanistan, der versucht, sich seine neue umgebung nach seinen eigenen regeln zu erschließen - und dabei instinktiv beats von genuiner schönheit rausballert. fuchy ist gezeichnet, animiert, erfunden, eine art orientalische hip hop-variante von bart simpson. aber gleichzeitig könnte er realer nicht sein. weil er voller widersprüche ist. fuchy, das ist der protagonist von -420- und zugleich das alter ego des in hamburg lebenden musikproduzenten farhad -farhot- samadzada. farhot, vor 34 jahren im afghanischen kabul geboren, hat nicht nur mit deutschen top-künstlern wie max herre, haftbefehl, samy deluxe, chefket, karate andi und xatar gearbeitet. er hat ebenso erfolgreich mit internationalen künstlern wie der soul-sängerin nneka aus nigeria, selah sue, der grime-königin ms dynamite oder den us-amerikanischen hip hop-stars talib kweli und isaiah rashad zusammengearbeitet. seit einiger zeit betreibt farhot zudem sein eigenes label kabul fire.

das vinyl zur remix-cd: ricardo villalobos, young marco und i:cube liefern top-remixes des tracks *c* aus dem aktuellen prins thomas album *principe del norte*. selbiger steuert noch einen seiner berüchtigten diskomikse bei. auf 500 stück weltweit limitierte doppel-12 inch.

new york experimentalists sheik n beik continue on form as they follow up records from japans keita sano, legowelt & xosar and jeffrey scott with a bold and atmospheric 12inch from jerry riggs & maxwell church a.k.a hermans. hailing from toronto - hermans specialise in their own brand of esoteric techno that lends them perfectly to a release on sheik n beik. their things change ep slots neatly into the catalogue with its blend of spooky melodies and analogue drum work. diana (how youve changed) kicks things off with an infectious vocal loop and juddering drum patterns. brooklyn’s max pask then follows up with his take on diana which sets 909 drums over a thick, burning acid line. endless toil then follows up with a tightly wound groove built with metallic whacks and frazzled, flexing synth tones. forget the past then brings the package to a thumping close as manic synth lines dart between crunching drums in another strong addition to sheik n beiks catalogue.

the ongoing celebration of kontra-musik s 10 years anniversary is basically a recognition of the importance of charisma within the predominantly mechanical sphere of electronic music. to quote label boss ulf eriksson in a recent groove interview: -to release on kontra you need to have developed a unique and personal sound.

since contributing to the cocktail damore 5 years compilation, andrew cole aka luvjam has been invited few times to rock the monthly party with his deeply blissful and futuristic sounds. this is his first 12inch for the berlin imprint. the title track takes over the a side. nip to space is an abstract hypnotic slice of techno. every frequency of the 4/4 groove is stretched to the max, and it’s built to enhance the dance floor with masterful soundscaping. on the flip forest of nip is a raw tune, made by unexpected elements disappearing and re-appearing vibrantly, climaxing in a maze of fluffy acid synths. with flip to the flop the alchemist of sound design explores breakbeat of the finest uk tradition that evolves unexpectedly in a cosmically distorted afterhours delight. luv jams psychedelic perspective of sound is at its best in this ep, coupled with his unique mastery of frequency manipulation.

at last! this one took literally years to piece together. does dennis bovell need an introduction? i think not but in case you dont know, he is a musical polymath, top flight producer, dub legend and one of the finest artists the uk has ever produced. optimo music has worked with dennis before when he went into green door studios and dubbed out golden teacher to the max. this disco plate ep was already in the works before then but various circumstances caused it to take until now to see the light of day

after the interruption ps is back. this time with the tropically-balearic ep by moscow debutant aleceo , who has changed his organised top-manager, live with a slow 808 tempo, juno chords and microphone in the studio on the beach of magic island of bali. with the magnetic remix, by tokyo based maestro max essa, this pacific jam becomes a perfect, vinyl only slice of endless summer.

this is the second episode of our various artists serie. the fallen (a collaboration between plural (james johnson) and fbk (kevin kennedy)) opens the e.p. with interference, a fast paced killer hypnotic dance floor friendly dub track: they create a sound that is unique, fluid and extremely danceable. philippe petit follows with exposed, a stripped down, bleepy bass-heavy rhythmic piece of techno. julixo brings us own structure, an aggressive jackin techno track leading to a warm synth line that will leave nobody indifferent. terrence dixon closes the e.p. with odd numbers, a track that only him can do. sub bass melodic techno reduced to the max: ace!

repress 2016 / max 1 per customer.. please relax as la maison complètement la porte presents to us the mysteries of the dolphin hotel affair. much has been written in vancouver tabloids about the affair and the so-called dolphin manifesto that appeared shortly afterwards. theories abound, but one thing that we know for sure is this is a brand new 30.5 cm disc release just for you. it s that (stereo) sound!

this one has been in the making for a loooong time and we do believe you will agree it was worth the wait. tj kong has been releasing some serious vocal house masterpieces over the past year on compost and other labels of fame, so it was only a matter of time before they ended up on wph. when it comes to vocals few do it better than gustaph, the belgian lead vocalist of hercules & love affair and a close friend of the wph family. inside story: gustaph provided non-credited (but paid) backing vocals for fcl’s ‘it’s you’ stormer. with tj kong gustaph takes up the role of both lyrics writer and vocalist and does so to devastating effect in absolute perfect unison with the track provided by tj kong & modular k. it’s classic but very very fresh. on the flipside tj kong & modular k team up with french wonderboy art of tones aka llorca for a trip into house music stabs & strings bliss. if the dream is always the same, we do hope this is the one you are re-dreaming. wph ten-3, niceness to the max!

having debuted his first critical release “monolith” back in 2012 the emperor name has become synonymous with some of the most breathtaking drum & bass of recent times. since the begin ep” and his collaborative “hello world ep” with mejus took the scene by storm, emperor’s heavyweight approach culminated with the utterly outrageous “into black ep” which pushed all the levels to the max. now “dispostions” looks set to cement his status at the top of the leader board.

durch den subtilen akt einer akustischen trotzhaltung, die spürbar fehlt in der mehr und mehr konservativen und regelkonformen elektronischen musikszene, gibt der talentierte hamburger produzent & dj david august nicht nur sein debüt bei counter records (ninja tune), sondern signalisiert auch ein neues kapitel in seiner musikalischen reise, auf der er sich immer geweigert hat sich anzupassen. geboren in hamburg, lebt der 25-jährige künstler nun in berlin. er hat bisher bei verschiedenen labels veröffentlicht, u.a. den underground-kreativstätten innervisions und diynamic, er hat künstler wie max cooper und the acid geremixt und wurde auf den vierten platz als bester live-act 2014 und 2015 beim resident advisor-poll gewählt.

lizards are lee forster (1/3 last waltz) and james hadfield (the mainstay of the elizabeth collective). taking over a full side, and clocking in at over 9 minutes, anthemic understatement is a very difficult trick to pull of, but the deepness of feel here, coupled with the restraint shown in rhythm and melody, allows the track space to ebb, flow and truly get under the skin of the listener. it s one of those rare tracks that are as equally beautiful as they are danceable international track lives up to it s name, seeing the north eastern english producers channel the japanese take on the balearic sound as heard in productions by artists such as cosmes.

on the heels of 2015s hyperactive longanimity ep on leisure system and the recent sense of purpose lp via bloc records, joefarr returns to leisure system with the spectate ep, another tactile and punishing contribution to the ongoing gridlock series complete with an incredible remix from sound scientist max cooper.
