jungle gym records presents districts, the official debut of newcomer lac seul. through endless whirlpools and over cliff-side, jg02 is at home neither on land nor sea, wading in the shallows of the dreary pacific coast. in the end, it’s only after the tide has gone that one can see what’s left behind.

the debut ep of new-born junction records begins with thorough exploration of driving and percussive techno sounds in the form of label head cool tiger’s warehouse for all”. from atmospheric, suspensive build-ups to warped vocals and glitchy fills, this intelligent production from paris based producer is a sweet taster of things to come and stands proud and deserving as a1 on this release. next up on this release we move to groovier territory with french duo m&c’s droofin”. swinging percussion and warm, soft synths are undoubtedly the driving force behind this track. old school grooves contrasted with luscious, slow-moving pads in the breakdowns combine to create an infectious and familiar house sound. in coherence with junction’s pattern, the final track on this release from german duo dominik fry and skipio is as warm as you would expect. hypnotising vocals, hovering subby pads and gentle arpeggiators characterise this melodic easy-listener.

john frusciantes foregrow doesnt sound like any acid test record, or any record, thats come before it. after the unlikely alliance between the los angeles label and the iconoclastic venice, ca musician on trickfinger, all bets are off. this one’s truly a passage through night. foregrow is a lurching, lysergic beauty which offers glimpses of his platinum pop instincts, but only behind the veil of true experimentalism.

we live a life in between exorcism and consumption stirring up a piece of sh-which might be the forgotten, the unexpected, the unusual, the left behind. dust as a metaphor for our repetitive culture, can t be better chosen to head the redust ep on formresonance. grainy and with a sixth sense of its pulse, the tracks do emerge into a wide soundstream. dust hereby transports a piece of wisdom: the sound signature. knowledge which is inherent in class-a circuits, vinyl, or tape and which can be barely re-produced. georg stuby is already a dj on stage, like burning man, club der visionäre… he resident in the zürich party scene, teaches at the school of sound and drops out some nice tips on his own blog: www.georgstuby.com the redust ep is his debut release. jonas & christopher lawrenz provide their experience with georgs music, even longer.
pressing on blue marbled vinyl.

in this offering by the berlin-based and made in the middle east label disco halal?, we bring you something by the guy behind the label, moscoman, as a passion project moscoman had always dreamed of.

the soul behind these recordings is rama dyushambee. not only a vocalist, mr. dyushambee also plays tenor saxophone too. he even produced, composed and arranged the entire album. the music on here is hard to categorize. the basic feel of the songs is jazz, but you also find a portion of funk and lots of spirituality in them too. if you like your jazz funky - check out this album. if you like your funk jazzy - check out this album. generally, if you like music with soul then you can t go wrong with orbit in space.

summer is in the air, celebrating in vivid colour and creating everything a new. it therefore seems the perfect time for black hot records to emerge into the light with a pair of cracking disco re-works. the man behind the mixing desk is however no novice, having served up his first instalment of dance floor dynamite way back in 1991, and there followed a decade of underground signals under various guises, before a self-imposed exile and prolonged radio silence ensued…

blow out - summer 2016 nice price action ...back after a two year hiatus following their top 10 hit with >the creeps<, freaks launch their next episode with >umakenosense<, a mind-bending electronic monster package complete with bad ass radio slave remix.
>umakenosense< is a distorted trip into psychedelic territory through a minefield of cosmic energy. this is music that appeals to the mainstream and the dark underground, a formula that freaks have achieved time and time again.
radio slave has become renowned for his epic reworks, producing some of the best-loved remixes of the past few years. he doesnt disappoint with an expedition through low-end and high-octane stratospheres shaking out thegroovy beast and creating a sonic soundsystem mash up of a remix ... rewind!
freaks was originally the brain child of bournemouths justin harris and london-based luke solomon, but has mutated through its live format into a 6 piece outfit incorporating the infamous jonny rock on guitar, sascha darroch davies on drums, vocalist stella attar and rub on bass. with three albums behind them, a seminal label we know and love as music for freaks and a top 10 hit with >the creeps<, freaks have journeyed through filter disco, quirky mid tempo house and minimal techno to cement their own revolutionary style.
luke, justin and stella are now writing new material for their 4th studio album and a best of compilation (out end 2009). from early demo listening, it looks as if it will be a mesh of all their electronic, disco and leftfield pop influences and will undoubtedly re-introduce their fans to a whole new level of freakish behaviour.

since fabrikate first emerged with a remix of the weeknd’s often in 2014, the duo has showcased a variety of influences on productions ranging from traditional deep house to sounds reminiscent of the l.a. bass house scene. despite rising success, fabrikate retain their anonymity, hidden behind minimalist masks when on stage or behind the camera. in contrast to the vibrant aesthetic that permeates their overall image, the duo remains stoic and silent, taking a shadowy step into the background so their music can truly take centre stage.

this is the second versions ii - it s again limited, no repress.

crosses genre to find its own space, & soundscapes, downtempo, ambient, & house music all find a place. the record flows like a vague narrative, a non-specific sort-of passage, a meditative jazz-house trip.

earlier this year, dekmantel announced the signing of robert hood for a new project titled paradygm shift. over the course of three different eps, which will eventually evolve into an album, the detroit but now alabama based legend presents paradygm shift. hood: -the idea behind paradygm shift is similar to a shift in our focus. we can become so complacent, we are so comfortable with our surroundings, i think this is the time for electronic music to find a new mindset volume ii serves up two more killer techno floor bombs by the never disappointing originator. master jack is a classy and deadly effective cut that gets its strength from a simple, yet biting stack of funky chords, while pulsating bass lines and rattling hats are holding it together. more fast-paced action can be found on magnet,a no-nonsense, minimalist stomper you can store in your peak-time section. refined techno action times two, but what did you expect?

after an impressive debut in early 2015, the boys behind the soviet veil have slow-cooked another frothy sampling of off-kilter edits from the motherland (or somewhere). never mind the long pause between releases, the tenacious attention to detail shows on all four jams. this is one to pick up if you re a serious club dj or not, really.

four floaty dubs & re-rubs from san francisco s ryan bishop aka the beat broker (bear funk, flexx, adult contemporary, etc). many heads probably best know ryan as the brains behind dream chimney, one of the longest-running and most consistently interesting online hangouts for like-minded music freaks. this 12- busts loose with -satin kimono,- a funky floor-filler with the most perfect aor song title in existence. -make it happen- cools the a-side down with a mellow yet uplifting soft rock groover, dubby voices beckon the listener to break free and never look back. -honey it s you- is a pumped up edit of an old chimney classic and was crafted specifically as a wedding gift for fellow dream chimney member hatchback - now available for the first time in a physical format! larceny dub soars to new heights of aor bliss, featuring an extensive re-working of a record that was passed along to ryan by an ex-deadhead neighbor.

fabrizio martina, the man behind jolly mare, is a champion turntablist, with a master degree in mechanical engineering and a phd in vibration dynamics under his belt. he s currently a full time producer and dj, taking part in festivals across europe from sonar to harvey s discotheque stage at bestival. a graduate of red bull music academy in new york, he has opened acts from masters at work to roy ayers, worked with the likes of soul clap and thundercat, and has already been featured in the likes of pitchfork, mixmag and okayplayer with his dream-like brand of cosmic disco and house.

the hidden meaning of number 13 is change, the death of something and its rebirth. this is the idea behind gabriel dor & bordoys new album 13, which is meant to be a turning point on their career. influenced by old school techno but also by modern sounds, after 6 years of production partnership, theyve decided to release their first entirely unpublished lp. the album, made out of 13 cuts, starts with a dark intro that paves the way into a forceful kind of techno, followed by vintage sounds with gloomy touches and sometimes even emotional ones. they have used many instruments and samples discovered along the way on this composition process, plus lots of others found in the previous years. the sounds put together on this album have been carefully picked to preserve their uniqueness, while trying to walk on a different path.

this is with paolo macri an artist straight from italia, that rutilance recordings released his eleventh ep. a release with 4 deep traxx!

we dont know much about the artist behind this release. no repress. limited to 350 copies world wide.

following on from last years exceptional ‘obsession ep’ from art crime is a budding young talent by the name of will lister. originally from lyme regis, will moved up to london to attend goldsmiths university and in his spare time he helps us out behind the counter here at the shop. when he’s not here at the shop you can also hear him playing records on his balamii radio show or his monthly club night, ‘the aten’. ‘the phantom ep’ is his production debut and we’re extremely happy to be putting it out on our main imprint. the title track opens up the ep with heavily reverbed pads, echoed claps, crunchy percussion and repetitive synth stabs that all work together to create spaced-out atmosphere that’s full of twist and turns. flipping over to the b-side, ‘after the light’ picks up the pace with a driving high-hat rhythm and full-bodied kicks that underpin warm piano keys and smooth synth lines. ‘agency’ closes proceedings by turning up the intensity to full with a masterclass in building tension.

after a five year absence the illusive cottam label returns. since the original series paul has travelled the world djing, released on labels such as aus & versatile and started his own imprint ruff draft for his own original productions and tracks from other producers. currently taking a break from djing & concentrating on production it felt like the right time to reactivate the label that started it all with some new under-the-counter specials. first up we have ‘mixing tool’, a heavy beat and percussion setting the dark & foreboding tone, the unease increasing like something is creeping up behind you until the distant war cries reveal themselves - a deep track that is much more than the title suggests. next up, the long awaited vinyl release for the cottam re-wiring of a classic film title track, mixing the best elements of the originals synth score with a club ready beat and acid that adds to the original - this is one of the finest carpenter reworks you ll hear.

repress , coloured vinyl, ranging from slow to mid-range house tempo, these 4 beauties juxtapose crate-weathered soul samples with a slick and modern production approach. all smooth as silk and primed for the dancefloor!
luvless and martin hayes are the masterminds behind rose records out of leipzig, germany. they have been turning more than a few heads with their sampler eps 12 inches that have all gone promptly out of stock. by their own account, they believe in the beauty of nature, the pureness of a warm summer rain and the pleasure of friendship. and let us not forget about excellent dance music!

london based punk duo black volume are not easy to classify. their delirious industrial post punk sounds at times like proto house and at times becomes some sort of mutant electro. their b series sound is made of a conglomerate of filthy percussions, unexpected samples and something with the appearance of melody, with a weirdly addictive result. black rubber is james brown wearing black leather at 40ºc (in the shade) while suffering a mental breakdown. excentric melodies sliding down rhythmic dislexia. negative return blooms from an improvised beat with no traceable sequence, on top of which we find rubbery synth lines, creamy interferences and mysterious sampling, everything sounds like melting from old vhs footage with the future we enter a romantic dystopia. sensual and passionate but equally crunchy, it rises up through cheap calculator arpeggios, pitched vocals and obsessive bass lines. streetfight evoques a desolate landscape, devastated and radioactive. distant echoes from an extinguished human race that left behind only majestic rusty ruins.

bjarki is from iceland. born and raised. despite the fact that bjarki is known for making extremely powerful dancefloor tracks he doesnt seem to belong to any particular genre. something this triptych of lps demonstrate very well. his music is at times cinematic and theres a story behind each track. bjarkis music always has something to do with him personally, but hed rather the listener lose themselves in the music than pay much attention to the man behind them. either on a record or to one of his ever evolving live sets

a love-token gifted to the summer 2016 from us at studio barnhus: the smash debut ep of mlir, a swedish musical collective fronted by marco gegenheimer and einar christoffersson, blurring the line between wide-eyed exotica and high-intensity festival blitzin. artwork by leolyxxx - man behind our logo, first-time cover designer for the label.

space echo - the mystery behind the “cosmic sound” of cabo verde finally revealed! in the spring of 1968 a cargo ship was preparing to leave the port of baltimore with an important shipment of musical instruments. its final destination was rio de janeiro, where the emse exhibition (exposição mundial do son eletrônico) was going to be held

• and finally make their full perc trax debut !
• features full printed jacket
• dj feedback to follow
• berlin / manchester noiseniks and finally make their full perc trax debut after first appearing on the label in 2014 when they served up a suitably screw-faced remix of drax s phosphene . now regarded as one of the most uncompromising production outfits on the european techno scene they widen their musical vision across these four tracks without leaving behind the raw aesthetic and driving energy that has characterised their music and their live performances over the last few years. from the kind of straight up 4/4 pounders that have made the closing slot at electric deluxe s awakenings events their own, to experiments with off-kilter drums and caustic noise this ep is as good a statement of and s present and future as you ll hear all year.

after going beatless around the bush with wilson tanners stunning 69, growing bin leave the swan river behind for their sixth release, heading east from their hamburg home to sample the coastal calm of krynica morska. and who better to show them the sights and sounds of idyllic poland than ptaki co-pilot the phantom a.k.a. bartosz kruczy&#324,,,,ski, flying solo here with a sump -tuous score for long sunsets and lapping waves.

lp in gatefold printed on uncoated paper and includes cd. the cd included in the lp version features the 12 tracks of the album in the same order. since the release of the album catapulte in 2013, media have been used to describing chevalrex music as miniature symphonies. for this album, rémy poncet, the handyman that plays himself all the instruments, writes his own lyrics and even makes his own cover, has decided to keep the same path but meanwhile, has grown in melodic power and maturity. i finally let my teen life behind, and from now on, offer me some peaks he sings in aussi loin. with this new release, there is reason to wager that chevalrex will be one of the future pearls that will be used as a reference for those who will venture out on the roads of french pop

next up on swiss imprint, caduceus records, is a release veiled in secrecy and hidden behind a mask of obscurity. whilst the producer behind the tracks remains in the backseat, the music sits at the forefront, with only itself to speak for.

the good folk at kat records deliver release no. 28 in the shape of a 4 tracker of tasty audio goodness covering disco, boogie, house and a rather splendid leftfield number that defies any form of categorisation! hlb (henri le blanc) is the man behind these and deffo one to keep close tabs on! the a side covers of the disco,house element nicely with thunder and straight up boogie with loves comin. not direct edits, but reversions with elements added to spice up and delight. the flip is a hammond lead beauty with 2 tracks that lean slightly left of centre. country churches is a low slung deep house chugger that really does tease all the way and we finish things off with the ace touch my soul. elements of broken beat, soul and funk with a top vocal hook to set it off.

after successful two releases hoxton records is back with yet another va compilation featuring equally talented three producers from romania. zefzeed has been behind the decks for over 10 years and producing since 2009. in 2013 he was signed with bodyparts records and started working with vinyl only record labels. cosmjn & lizz duo work speaks for itself as it has already amassed the support from petre inspirescu, barac, new zau and sepp. these guys are extremely talented and produce the tracks with inspiring harmonies. bucharest based producer direkt is a hidden gem. being the youngest producer on hoxton records label, he is definitely the one to watch. this vinyl only release is showcasing the artist that are creating the music worth collecting.

after coming with a pretty great electronic soft jazz number on the first release, distant works begins to define the mission behind the label with the second offering-a synth, italo-esque 5-cut ep that would only come from somewhere in the netherlands these days. the label bosses are clearly up to go to distant places to deliver the sounds. it s a very impressive statement and raises our interest on future releases.

ts10 is the 1st ep of the toneseries project. born from the collaboration between french music producer, live performer and dj - david k, and lumièreslanuit s co-founder and an der grenze s founder - edouard morin. however, it isn t clear which artist from their extended crew stands behind this 1st release, as if the berlin-based music label wanted to focus on the music rather on the artist. ts10 consists of two tracks, both deep and groovy. whereas ailleurs disseminates the perfect warm-up groove, desert snowflakes fires off a more dancefloor-driven vibe. with regard to the artwork, as shown on the cover, each track has its own colour. there is neither a a nor a b-side. the same applies to the record vinyl itself. each track stands on it own. as a result, ailleurs and desert snowflakes distinguish themselves from each other through their vibes and colours, although they remain in the same spirit. in summary, toneseries brings together the idea of interdependence between music and design: what colour follows on from music and, in return, which musicality comes out of colours.

amazing hypnotic and functional techno. punctum is a new fides story behind his label owner z.i.p.p.o.

kevin saunderson s kms imprint is a label that should require no introduction. the motor city label has been a techno mainstay since it s inception in 1987. numerous detroit luminaries have released classic after classic on the labels hallowed grooves over the last 25+ years and its influence is still felt in contemporary dance music today. the idea behind the kms origins series is to shine a light on the lesser known cuts in the kms vaults as well as the classics that have given the label it s legendary status during its lifetime.

one of the most exciting up and coming artists of recent times, detlef makes his debut on the mighty hot creations with his kinky tail ep featuring three jacking bombs plotting a riot on the dancefloor. in a short space of time detlef shot into the limelight with releases and remixes for well-respected labels including knee deep in sound, moon harbour, and defected. equally at home behind the decks as he is in the studio, the unique party vibe that he brings to his live and dj sets quickly earned his place as a regular viva warriors resident. often billed on the same line-up with industry giants and with releases and remixes forthcoming on edible records, hot trax, emerald city and moon harbour, detlef is definitely one to keep an eye on.

“the earth was incessantly covered in ice, it’s landscape an immense, frozen desert. boulders and sand washed to the valley, crushed under the glaciers’ enormous weight, leaving nothing but the hardest rock behind.” neunau draws inspiration from natural phenomenons, sculpting his indelible and furious expression into materials: a ritual guided only by the rhythm of his own heartbeat. composed exclusively of sounds recorded at the ancient forge museum in bienno, in the middle of one of the largest valleys in the central alps, neunau presents an experience that goes beyond simple listening. his tools — water, iron and microphones — are used to transport the listener through time and place. a true voyage through forgotten ritualism and symbolism, these extracts aim to grind contemporary dance music to its barest essentials, making long-lost times ours again.

without coverartwork - emmanuelle returns to deewee with an italo influenced 12 inch produced by david and stephen dewaele of 2manydjs / soulwax and recorded at deewee studio, gent. luomo daffari sees emmanuelle swich between her native italian tongue and english advising you to not hide behind that suit and tie. if tom tom club hung with aphex twin in the hills of naples in 1980 they may have arrived here. italove is pure dancefloor magic. syncopated rolling synths with emmanuelle as chanteuse again cutting between italian and english to the sound of disco and harps. its a beautiful thing. she loves you. sleeve design by ill studio, paris.

after the critical success of their first ep bleu nuit released in 2013 at craki records and their sold out french tour opening for mancunian band wu lyf, apes & horses are back on 27th may, 2016 with a new mini-album called echo, released at because musics. aurélien hamm (voice, music) and pablo altar (keyboards, production) deliver us a dark, divinely vague, spacious and sensual pop. in this record, feelings are expressed through a sublime and moving haze, but there are still turbulences beneath the surface, seduction behind sadness… the ep has been produced by ash workman (christine and the queens, metronomy, etc), and the management is well carried out by the promo director of beggars uk and tony wilsons former assistant (the boss of the legendary label factory). a fantastic team for a promising band.
