bristol-based behling & simpson come correct for apple pips with two slices of cavern-deep, slo-mo tripped out bass-led housey doings… these chaps have been making waves in the last year or so with their mixture of bass music, deep house, boogie and discoid with a characteristic bristol edge of not caring for the rules. with killer releases on bristol house dons futureboogies own label and a stonking re-edit of faith evans getting plays from peeps like modeselektor, derrick carter, untold, mosca, jackmaster and many more they continue to forge out their own groovy path through the bass scenes myriad styles… >where the ohs< glides along on a rolling, endlessly chugging beat, with glacial synth sweeps, dubbed out finger clicks, treated vox and sub bass stabs slowing cutting through the mix…perfect slo mo house styles for fans of prins thomas, todd terje, mark e, andrew weatherall etc

copy paste soul is a london based producer who makes warped yet warm deep house, which soothes the soul without missing a beat. over the last year this highly skilled artist has been making tunes to satisfy those wanting fresh sounds with a brittle edge and echoes of classic 90s dance music. the crossover appeal of tunes such as >want it< is obvious for all to hear and latest track >makes you feel good< does exactly what the title states.
with huge tunes like >84 vintage< and >so good< already under his belt, copy paste soul has an ever expanding army of fans in the dj community. annie mac called his productions gorgeous, while the legendary laurent garnier has been hammering these tunes in his set. tensnake and pearson sound are also big supporters and this moreish music has been played by skream & benga on their radio1 show and by brackles on rinse fm. this is only the beginning for copy paste soul, a producer who makes sounds of the future now…

having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.

nick sinna has been on the radars lately with his debut release for prime numbers pn13. sticking to the dark corners of the dance floor as of late, we have commissioned the spaced out bass child, conforce and spectrals secret weapon, jtc (aka dabrye) to add their touch with 2 remixes. conforce takes sinnas >real time< further down the worm hole, adding molten pressure to the percussion, and cutting up & reinforcing the vocal samples. while the acid warrior himself, jtc stays true to his roots on his rework of >voyager<, taking the edge off the snap and slicking the groove down to a more deep, melodic trip. pn13 has already received diverse support by the likes of ben klock, marcel dettman, dvs1 and mr. scruff.

this latest release from hizatron and bashley galvanises the usual wigflexian- gloop with a more industrial edge and a superb implementation of found sounds. a darker pallet underpins the record but this is inverted then lifted with inserts of scattered euphoria. whilst all that is synonymous with the current face of techno lurks consistently in the background throughout, in an almost redemptive fashion, we are hoisted upward from a chromatic descent and set forth onto a crisp, bouncy path peppered with light. the depth of stereo field is utilised perfectly here and the use of dimension is something of a staple for all of those who call wigflex home. hizatron is known for his seamless arrangements, catchy melodies and punchy percussion and this record has that unquestionable tron swagger but the familiar sound is accelerated by new influences from bashley who although a relatively unknown member of the family brings a fresh range of timbres that compliment hizas signature grooves.

1-sided hand stamped white label of the cd-only bonus track hold on to your dreams (rayko spiritual gargamel edit). a 14 min edit of the 80s club classic from jah wobble, the edge, and jaki liebezeit.

butane continues to push his sound well beyond the frontiers of trendy dance music with >we are all cyborgs now<, his latest tour-de-force on his own alphahouse records imprint. apparently not interested in assimilation for the sake of popularity, he rather blazes his own wide-cut path towards artistry with two future-techno cuts rife with pointed commentary on the nature of todays dance music scene. >everybodys talkin< is a mutant hybrid of styles for the nostalgic types. latin percussion and bin-busting bass mingle with an ethereal voice lamenting the passing of the good old days. throw in one utterly twisted xylophone note that might just send a few partygoers over the edge for good, and you have an open air after-hours anthem in the making. >hey hipster< is a not-so-subtle jab at the newjack hipsters of the dance world who seem content to recycle old ideas, as long as they think they look cool doing it. deceptively simple, but carrying a heavy hook, the track features a grooving bassline, speaker busting synth stabs, and a brooding male voice admonishing these party parasites for their shallow ways. listen up kids, this is the sound of the underground. dont be fooled, this kind of music is best heard in big dark clubs where mirrors arent there for checking out your trendy haircut.

after his soul tinged #1 single >tonight<, migs returns back to basics with >dance and clap<, a fun, deep and dubby track based jam with an underground edge, containing plenty of knob tweaked pads, subtle synth melodies, thundering bass grooves, and rhythmic vocal arrangements. one for the dance floor in mind and reminiscent of his earlier track based works, migs knocks out these little gems for salted.

a label that prides itself on picking up new talent and letting them shine, electronique digital has made quite a name for itself in a short space of time. the manchester-based label has already been home to one of the years big anthems with finnebassens huge >if you only knew<. but it is not just about anthems and big tunes, there is also a focus on the deeper end of house music whilst retaining labels commitment to disco and summer vibes in every release. in other words, though they specialise in deep house, but it is never too serious or morose.

following the extraordinary outings of his 2010 debut 12 inches on phantasy sound (summertime our league / havai), and an album and mini album in 2009/11 respectively (weekend / preparing a voice to meet the people coming) on perdizes dream/glue moon, sao paolo based babe, terror returns with knights ep his visionary take on modern sampleapsychedelica or wdm (wrong dance music) as he describes it, composed under the influence of the cadence of life. this heady stew of unsettling aural landscapes and lush, cinematic stories, have earned him the admiration of the new yorker, said the gramophone, the guardian, coke machine glow and uncut as well as the likes of arto lindsay, four tet, james holden.

eartoground records quickly steps up again with some fresh new uk techno talent. while a lot of the focus on underground music culture in the uk remains on dubstep, we must not forget the fine pedigree we have in classic techno. here we present the first release from secluded alongside two superb, cutting edge club remixes from jonas kopp and markus suckut.

dutch master orlando voorn with a two-track release containing some of his pioneering material as format. rightly recognised as one of a handful of artists who built the early, crucial bridges between europe and detroit in the late-eighties and early nineties via collaborations with juan atkins and output for kms, voorn’s legacy is unquestionable. winning hollands dmc championships in 1986 and 1987 was the real career catalyst and there seems to be no let up in quality since then, either as a dj or a multifaceted, multi-genre producer. these two tracks are produced in 1993 and still didnt loose their magic!damn right and jam session have that the raw charm, edge and vibe sounds so current. energetic, melodic and broken, both tracks touch on a myriad of styles but what shines through is how modern electronic styles can be traced back to this sort of fantastic, unique output. format remastered could be sitting snuggly alongside modern house, techno, uk garage, uk funky and many more contemporary styles. this is a rare chance to grab beautifully treated versions of classic voorn material.

straying away from their more familiar cutting-edge drum & bass landscape, im:ltd are taking to pastures new with their latest offspring from the somewhat uninhibited and off-kilter quentin hiatus. with a deep sun-dappled atmosphere, mixing old-school house vibes and snappy hooks with a dirty south laidback feel, the different strokes ep might be another mellow and melodic release but its not going to blend into the background. showing a real sense of movement and progression, this ep surely deserves a full play through as each track unravels in its own time, and fits together in order like an audio jigsaw puzzle.

bliq are proud to present bliq05:nicuris paradigms fresh out of union city, ny. the paradigms of which nicuri speaks are darkness, deliverance and determination, modal expressions delivered on three cuts of resonant electronic music. on doldrums nicuri plays with paradox,combining staggered, dreamy synths with unnerving bass rumbles. to reinvigorate the doldrums, or as he puts it replenish the earth, the producer implements a menacing analog rumble in the style of new york greats dj qu and joey anderson. but to ensure that the ground is re-imbued with rational vitality, nicuri adds a layer of baroscopic viscosity: smog surrounds and engulfs, a suppressed vocal intermittently choking. on the flip, parrish adams – aka intrinsic of emphasis records in chicago – gives the earth an even harder, more insistent techno edge. he introduces melodic light flashes at the edges of urban darkness, and rumbles it like a train escaping grand central station. bliq05 is on the run.

the 5th release on >house mannequin< includes four rough and edge disco/house tracks. this release fits the dance-floor, open air situations as well as your headphones. recommended!

following his release on peter van hoesens time to express late last year, sp-x drops his third ep for komisch. fans of >signal path experiments< and >field lines never end< will not be disappointed as the brussels - based producer serves up three more slices of uncompromising warehouse techno. lead track <the escape< has all the sp-x hallmarks - rock hard beats, thundering claps and a swinging groove that underpins eerie riffs and clanking metallic drums >stalker< reveals a more musical slant to sp-xs sound. it starts off with unsettling riffs, but soon the rolling drum-led arrangement changes tact and provides the backdrop for a growling chord climax. there is a similar concession on >attack pattern< bruising doubled-up drums and that unmistakably snappy sp-x percussion combine with subtle snare rolls to create a peak time arrangement. but once again an insistent chord sequence gives it the edge over functional techno. make sure to hunt this killer release down

second lockertmatik release! another small diy release in a small run with advanced acid techno tracks with a sharp edge! challenging and fresh release.

180gr vinyl!! bjak and dubbyman team up to become twin beats on the latters deep explorer imprint. this is the pairs first collaborative release, but their studio chemistry is there for all to see as the first few bars of >do it properly< ease out through your speakers. its floaty, jazz-flecked house bathed in pools of gently rippling bass tones, and things are given a sophisticated edge by the adroit vocals of brian cullen. this shares the a-side with the slightly more upbeat >water walk with me<, with cullen matching marvin belton in the modern day soulful crooner stakes. flip over for a remix of the title track from - gulp - larry heard, with the chicagoan legend turning in a typically sumptuous slice of machine soul that naturally hogs the vast majority of the b-side, before an excellent ep is rounded off by a beatless outro

ld nero returns with another 3-tracker, rooted in 1990s house, with that unique hypnotic and playful vibe we have come to know and love.
warehouse dew 1-3 are three tracks made for the dancefloor – constantly moving, constantly changing, this is serious house music with a techno edge.

ppbr streetgang have a long lasting relationship with 2020vision, through the various record shops, dancefloors and after parties shared in leeds over the years. they have also remixed tracks from the last two crazy p albums for the label. as residents at we love at space ibiza theyve carved a niche as a classy dj double act as adept at backroom disco sets or terrace filling house tear ups, all delivered with a smattering of funk and good times. their debut 2020 ep follows up their >downstroke< release for hot creations, a huge throbbing low slung houser indebted to mike dunns classic >god made me phunky<. this ep continues the vibe of this last release, all tracks drip with funk in a sleazy house flavour with a definite disco edge. much like the pbr dj sound they have now found a trademark production style that utilises their love of a body shaking bassline, crisp beats, quirky samples and a unifying groove.

welcome return for this very sought-after rare electro 12 inch from tiny harlem label express records. big with the cosmic crowd as well as on the early hiphop scene, this is an extremely cool low-slung synth-heavy electro groover with a hypnotically smooth lead vocal, given a sharp percussive edge by the rattling congas and ticky-time chorus. written at a time in rap music history when the introduction of synthesizer technology created a wild flurry of creativity, this futuristic track by barry michael cooper (who went on to write the screenplays for movies new jack city and above the rim) was teletrons only ever release. film s gain was sadly musics loss as this was, and still is, a boundary-pushing, floor-filling monster. dont sleep!

gerardo frisina goes back to the roots of the sound which has made him famous worldwide: the latin sound of classics like >descarga< or >the latin kick< (both previously released on schema). >moderno primitivo< is an ep about the encounter of the ancient afro-cuban tradition (the core of frisinas artistic dna) with a refined electronic taste. this component enriches drums and percussions and gives more edge to the whole production with details like pads and effects. in >moderno primitivo< the latin ensemble headed by frisina takes us into a jam session where percussions, piano and trombone play happily. the latin house mix is a club version where the rhythmic element and the groove take control of the mix. the melody is broken and a hammond plays over a ostinato bass. the flavour is definitely tribal. >cogele el ritmo< is a trip into frisinas latin world. slower than >moderno primitivo<, still has a solid hook to the dance-floor and is a triumph of joy and colour.

hot off the heels of william medagli s amazing debut, sleazys deepness continues to ooze disco funk straight from the underground. here we have a futuristic look into the minds of sasch bbc & caspar two artists in their own right from the rhein-main-area of germany. teaming up was clearly a clever decision as supersonic delivers what we hope you would of come to love about sleazy deep by now, just that - its all in our name.

two great new edits of nina kraviz >ghetto kraviz<. not originally commissioned they were done on the fly and deemed so hot, they had to be released! both hailing from france, amine edge is part of the french >g house< movement, whilst alex kidd is a long time cohort and member of the rekids crew. catch them whilst you can. this is a limited pressing!

after the success of their first release (etg001, programm ep) with all vinyl copies selling out, eartoground records quickly steps up again with some fresh new uk techno talent. while a lot of the focus on underground music culture in the uk remains on dubstep, we must not forget the fine pedigree we have in classic techno. here we present the first release from secluded alongside two superb, cutting edge club remixes from jonas kopp and markus suckut.

manmakemusic continue their adventure into the musical hinterland beyond bass, techno, house and garage with two cuts from new signing, trikk. hailing from porto, portugal, and a recent addition to londons kaleidoscopic music scene, trikk effortlessly marries old school charm with new school edge. a-side, ‘jointly’, takes robert hood-esque jackin’ techno drums and unites them with twisted garage vocal chops and relentless bass. on the flip, ‘i fall down’ takes things down a gear with an emotive mix of cavernous synth lines, heartbroken vocals and skipping drums which harks back to the finest moments of broken beat.

franck roger returns with a sharp three-track release alongside talented countryman terence:terry. the pairs this is now ep blasts us into 2012, a bold and edgy step-change for real tone off the back of vintage, stateside-vibed >after all< (with mandel turner). gritty opening number hustling peoples keeps things on edge, just as they should be. roger and terrys title track accelerates smoothly into funky, retro-tinged house flow, complimented by echoes of female vocal. final offering beaucoup la fête returns to moodier territory, a 4-4 stomp with real chaotic charm and buzzing fx. together, roger and terry have produced something very, very special for real tone. their >this is now ep< is a striking record asking the listener, very simply, to dance hard and dance now… early djs supports and feedbacks by damian lazarus, tania vulcano, lee foss, ralph lawson, heidi, james priestley (secretsundaze), ryan crosson, deetron, clive henry, josh wink, magda, dj t., sasha, efdemin, d julz, jimpster, matthew dear, ellen allien, hernan cattaneo, nick curly, michel cleis, sascha dive, boris werner, le loup...
