the artform label began in 1997 formed by jamie anderson as a platform to release his studio productions. artform soon had the attention and support of other music pioneers and released early works by jerome, steve rachmad, dave angel, stanny franssen and jesse rose. the mission for the label was to bridge the divide between genres of electronic music by experimenting with fusing styles and developing new sounds, a legacy which is still apparent today. after a short break artform now returns with a fresh new track by jamie anderson to relaunch the label joined by a huge remix from amsterdam‘s jerome. the pair of have worked together many times with releases on 100% pure and jerome‘s own outland records. this past year has seen jamie‘s productions on labels such as cocoon, rekids, klang elekronik and harthouse, and this release proves to be one of his strongest yet. predator continues in the labels direction of forward thinking tech house with a classic sound of the 909 creating a sinister backdrop of detroit inspired techno.

marek bois is a constant element on the rrygular label carousel. since 2006 hes putting out new records on a regular basis. his first artist album boissche untiefen and the compulsory remix record in 2008 marked the climax of the project, so far. and to be honest he deserved a short break afterwards. the release of apples & oranges shows the new bois, purposeful as usual and even more punchy on top. marek bois ist eine feste größe auf dem rrygular labelkarussell. seit 2006 kommt in regelmäßigen abständen neues material von ihm. nach seinem ersten album boissche untiefen inklusive remixes in 2008 hat er es verdienterweise etwas ruhiger angehen lassen. mit apples & oranges kommt nun der neue bois, gewohnt zielsicher und obendrein noch schlagkräftiger als zuvor

repress , back in stock !!!including anja schneider remix of >three weeks<. part 2 of his album released on three 12 inches. massive top dj support!
the choice of anja schneider for remix duties was an obvious one, the pair first met on a shuttle bus to an event and in short stead paul was co-writing for anja, becoming part of the driving force behind her huge debut album ‘beyond the valley’, now she pulls out all the stops to reciprocate with this standout reworking.
first up on the package is the anja schneider remix of ‘three weeks’, the opening cut from paul’s recent album. here the pair, deconstruct the parts and rebuild things into a deep and hypnotic version that has instant dancefloor appeal stamped all over it. solid, chunky drums rub up against simple spacey synth lines and warm pads to huge effect. bearing in mind the superb quality of the original this is a job well done, and a real addition to this great package.
next we have the original of ‘three weeks’, a track named after the extensive time it took to record. paul had originally intended to record the album in 6-8 weeks, then ended up spending nearly half of his allocated time on this opener. but it has to be said it was worth the effort. this is a slice of solid tech inspired house with subtle vocal elements and a musicality that cuts through the records club based nature. excellent stuff.
finally we have diamant flute, another winner from the ‘me, myself and live’ album. deep and highly engaging this again displays paul outstanding talents as a producer, weaving melodic elements deep into the mix and retaining an incredible underground electronic sound.

brand new intrusion! the first killer twelve of 2009 and the perfect way to soothe the post nye hangover. the title track >seduction< is an epic beauty as deep as the sea which does exactly as the title suggest, a sort of seduction of sound if you will, so immersive you could swim in it’s three dimensions. the bass line is so deep you can feel the vibrations in jamaica! the song soars along and in minutes reveals its magical analogue frequencies as shards of blissful chords sail around your speakers in a full spectrum panorama affair so easy to sink into. next up is “silence” leading us into ambient territory for a short but sweet three minute excursion which i could only imagine as a soundtrack while floating in deep space. the release comes to a close with cv313’s near 12 minute rendition, a beautiful dub house soundscape filled with tribal rhythms and gorgeous atmosphere recalling moments from echospace’s landmark album “the coldest season” on modern love. this is music which clearly focuses on every fine detail, filled with loads of space and bass and the analogue warmth we’ve come to love from the echospace signature. as with all things echospace this is severely limited and is pressed on to beautiful coloured vinyl.

>gobbldigook< is the spectacular opener of sigur ros recent album >med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust<, undeniably one of the most hymnic songs they have written thus far. fellow islanders stephen stephenson aka presidentbongo (of gus gus fame) and jack schidt couldnt resist but to transform the complex, polyrhythmic original into an exceptionally ethereal club track. when the angelic voice of jon birgisson unfolds on a club soundsystem it reallyfeels like you are in heaven. the ultraslim percussion groove takes over the tribalistic atmosphere of the original but catapults it some hundered light years forward into the future. thomas fehlmanns remix on the flipside is nothing short but sensational. we have no clue how he managed to turn this song into a schaffel but we salute him and take this as another unmistakable sign that the schaffelfieber is rising again in cologne, berlin, reykjavik andelsewhere ...

sychi sychi is the second and exclusive release of denkbar,a new and promising russian label managed by alex danilov and michel misha! the little owls attack and the russians strike again… analog passages, strings and flutes were very harmoniously entered in this hypnotizing atmosphere.
the first one delivered by b.a.d is so groovy, perfect for dancing… it features conversations between two spaniards and this emphasized the atmosphere of this track.
>de color verde< is the second track and was made by one of the labelboss, alex danilov! it offers a warm climate, a pleasant sound of a«short» guitar and sensual piano sequences.
with >weg afro<, the third track by michel, the other part of denkbar, you can imagine the shaman dancing near the fire and a church full of people of african origins! a lot of basses and percussions – giving you an excellent combination.

aux-rec is being launched by airdrop records as an offshoot label designed with a specific mission in mind: to look back and pay tribute. aux-rec surveys musical history looking for those inspiring pieces of music (famous or forgotten) that carry a very distinctive groove and identity, and that offer the potential to be revisited in an ingenious contemporary way. at airdrop, we love music of all ages and of many genres! we feel aux-rec is a way for our artists and for us to pay our due respects to the origins and the evolution of contemporary dance music.
the existing airdrop roster of artists will be invited to contribute to aux-rec, but different artists will also be uncovered specifically for this project. off to a fresh start, franco cinelli and club rayo (a duo composed by rafael sorol and pablo terreil) engrave their long-time friendship on this record. franco cinellis first productions were released on the duos imprint club rayo disquets at the beginning of the millenium. the club rayo collective has been extremely active in the local argentinean scene for more than twelve years now.
going back to one of music historys greatest classics, >fever<, franco cinelli and club rayo bring their own interpretations to a theme that has known as many versions than people taking a sing at it in the shower! using ella fitzgeralds and elvis presleys voices, club rayo create repsectively the fitzgerald mix - a rocking dancefloor jam looping ellas fantastic voice bringing it to a culmination - and the king dub - a 118 bpm groove punctuated by elvis low-pitched and resonant tone. cuerdas is a short guitar instrumantal rendition of the fever theme. on his remix, franco cinelli creates a 10 minutes drum symphony, especially designed for the post-climatic hours. both producers kept in mind ellas famous quote when undertaking this great enterprise: >i stole everything i ever heard, but mostly i stole from the horns.<
the following releases on aux-rec will also be in the form of bootlegs, edits, re-works or samples (you name it). they will bring back memories to your heads and mostly the groove to your feet. to be true to its mission of a vintage exploration, aux-rec will be releasing exclusively on vinyl, in the tradition of the essential music format of the 20th century. there will be no digital releases at aux-rec. in the pipeline are soul claps edit of laid backs >bakerman< as well as le loups version of sheila es >a love bizarre<, produced by prince.
also played and supported by agnes, butane, ripperton...

for more than 15 years now, steve bug is known for influential track somewhere in between house, techno and minimalism. with his very good sense for the energy of self-limitation, bug has set standards when it comes to the funk of modern sound geometry, especially with his imprint poker flat recordings. milestones such as >loverboy<, >monsterbaze< or >wet n dry< are now essential elements of the history of electronic dance music. only a few weeks after the release of his fourth album collaboratory, bug even tops that one with this 12 inch on cocoon: while look whos stalking obviously refers to steves close relation to the raw energy of u.s. house in between chicago trax and detroit, using driving hand claps, percussions and nasty vocals, the flipside zero balance could pass as a vision of how far you can reduce techhouse to the essence of a bass line. also here, short vocal loops - besides the fast-moving elements - complete a sensibility that makes bugs tracks such high quality music for a very long time now.

it was only a short time ago when these 2 young up and comers made their respective debuts on our label and in the few months between then and now, they have gone on to skyrocket up through the ranks, conquering dancefloors, charts and dj crates-while becoming household names synonymous with quality and consistency.
florian kruse and nils nürnberg need very little introduction these days but for those that have been asleep or living under a rock, a good start would be to check their recent output on fine labels such as nrk, om, moodmusic, dessous and our very own dieb, to name a very select few. their first combined effort on the label has resulted in the >suerte ep<, a tight collection of deep as hell, tech infused house numbers heavily characterized by their attention to groove and addictive, seductive chord progressions that have become a hallmark of their production prowess.
to add some spice to an already sterling and stylized package, we have enlisted our good friend (and also mood music alumnus) alexander maier, to remix the titular >suerte< where he adds his considerable musical vocabulary to the proceedings, peppering a very tasty arrangement with piano chord stabs and throbbing basslines resulting in a gorgeous, summery house re-interpretation that has to be heard to be believed!
as if this werent enough, fresh from an impressive debut on nils and florians save room records we have been lucky enough to secure a percussion led, funk infused remix of >achieving balance< from bright new boys on the block io who round things off nicely and add another dimension to the >suerte ep<.

ranking records 10th release sees russian producer/vocalist marina faib burst onto the scene with a 12inch that is frankly nothing short of astonishing. for a girl born in the 1990s, faib shows astounding maturity in her restrained approach to sound and rhythm, employing stuttering drum loops to underlay soundscapes that would put many a hollywood composer out of work. ticking clocks is a spine tingling example of this: the texture of the track comes from a euphoric choral sample which soars over a deep chasm of sub bass energy, climaxing in the perfect placement of a slithering arabic reed solo. whisper of trees shows the same mastery of atmosphere and musical arrangement - this time the tune is built from blissed out vocal lines, warm synth pads and a pulsating low end.

played by len faki, joris voorn, secret cinema, housemeister , funk d void, steve rachmad... alexander kowalski is back! after more than a year of not bringing out any new releases and leaving the >different< label, the first 12inch is now to appear on his own label >damage music berlin<, dmb for short. >the heat of the night< clearly takes the former kanzleramt flagship back to its original deep sound. this energy-laden dub-techno number is sure to make the dancers hearts beat faster, and to make them sweat - in the heat of the night... >its been a long way< is a typical pushy kowalski techno track that dares the tightrope walk between rolling basses and melancholic soundscapes. as for >dont judge me (just because i like the rave)<, the name says it all! this track is one of the smashers in the current kowalski live sets and has already taken apart a number of clubs in the process. alexander kowalski decided to found a label of his own primarily to release his own tracks that he has either tried and tested as part of his live sets or fresh ideas straight from his studio. in time, he also wants to provide a platform for other artists to publish their music. time to damage!

nice price deal !!! viennese producer tenchu is no greenhorn, no newcomer prodigy. instead the 27 year old is one of austrias finest having earned his stripes many times over in the countrys prolific drum n bass scene. one half of producer duo dubfiction, tenchu graces the third release of nascent label dub:iouz records with two of his latest tunes. a side motivational poster is nothing short of a killer dance floor stomper defining the labels identity. aa side used to be, especially under the skilful treatment of non other than hotflush recordings owner scuba, listeners bear witness to another genre central dubtastic idm tune.

audio familys first releases were picked up with huge enthusiasm and sold many copies! now its time for a suitable follow up! the label is a platform for the best funky techno outings around and features a broad range of well-known producers. volume 4 combines an impressive set of artist from across the globe. in short: here is a prime time roller with the best of the best!

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

incl. rmx by kabale & liebe and julien chaptal big with: mike shannon, luciano, loco dice, laurent garnier, matt star, butane, seuil, seth troxler, brett johnson, someone else, brothers vibe, daniel dreier, jermemy p. caulfield, mark henning, dario zenker, lee jones, luciano, lee van dowski, kabale & liebe, ryan crosson, anthony collins, lee curtiss,... after a short summer break cityfox is back with its 3rd release. gregorythme, who already released the last record as one part of digitaline, shows us again his masterskillz on the synthesizer. the result of the close relationship to his hardware is the futurama ep. the title track indeed sounds very futuristic, maybe retro-futuristic to quote lee jones: >it sounds like a 1970s idea of the soundtrack to the future. this would be the easy listening music piped into every monorail in the future cities.<

warehouse find. a few copies of long deleted larry heard full length album! be quick!!!

markantonios analytic trail label has been instrumental in creating what is now recognized as the neapolitan techno sound. the labels inventive approach is the key to their success. marrying raw basic elements with funloving party vibes, the label is a destination for djs wanting a bigroom sound. previous releases have featured the likes of rino cerrone, valentino kanzyani, the advent, davide squillace, and joseph capriati.

the flash tool is a simply constructed but incendiary club tool. deploying a limited palette of elements to create an earcatching track, the use of heavy kick, undulating bass, ever rising synth lines and wildly distorting pitch tones screams dancefloor impact.
las castagnettas is nothing short of a mainroom monster. uncompromising and direct with a raw, assertive energy this is inyourface ravetastic techno. booming beats and abrasive sounds set the tone but this is all about the supersized bass stab. watch out..
saving the title track for last, electric rescue unleashes the beast that is locomoto. industrial and uncomplicated, this 4am bodyshaker is packed with plenty of percussive punch and crowderuption moments to ensure maximum effect. file under >encore tune<.

after hitting his stride in 2008 with his debut for mobilee one is not enough followed by his second release, sand on the floor, the one-man phenomenon is back for a third round for mobilees 55th release entitled first talk, an enthralling tech-house release that is as boundless as it is stunning. the a-side first talk is a bouncing techy track that constantly moves forward and progresses without sounding the least bit rushed, continuously teasing the listener with build-ups that stop just short of peaking. combining vintage synths and reverb-laced loops, and.id meticulously plays with dynamics and atmospherics with the end result being a release that constantly moves forward without sounding the least bit rushed. b1 ephoria maintains a similar level of compelling restraint, with stuttered house beats and melodic undercurrents that morph and shift until they transform into arpeggiated swells leading the track to its endpoint. on b2 lights on and.id displays his darker, more minimal side, taking advantage of lower frequency ranges and recurrent echoes

strut present the story of one of the most influential and revered labels emerging from new york in the late >70s and 80s<, ze records. after the late 70s punk and new wave explosion in new york, ze became a by-word for the anything-goes culture clashes that typified the big apple during the early 80s. formed by french art student michel esteban and british journalist michael zilkha, ze quickly created its own unique independent universe, signing artists as varied as alan vegas electronic postpunk pioneers suicide, trash disco queen cristina and maverick producer august darnell a.k.a. kid creole. with estebans sharp graphic eye leading the labels visual identity, ze hit the new york zeitgeist head on and became supremely hip û in 1982, the face magazine nominated it ôthe most fashionable label in the world.the labels early success led to a deal with chris blackwells island records, which gave zes releases worldwide exposure and brought worldwide fame to kid creole, was (not was) and more. over thirty years on and ze remains one of the great cult labels of its time. with this new compilation, strut takes a snapshot of the many weird and wonderful fusions that surfaced on its famous nyc cab-influenced yellow and black label. highlights include one of the earliest outings by was (not was), tell me that im dreaming, a disbelieving commentary on reagan-omics, bob blankÆs short-lived disco supergroup aural exciters and a larry levan mix of kid creoles biting parable about corruption in the caribbean, theres something wrong in paradise. other featured artists include ze label regulars cristina, bill laswells material, kookie french experimentalist lizzy mercier descloux, and camp disco-electro icons, les garcons.

a rare release from one of minimal house and techno s most respected icons, thomas brinkmann. isch is a much sought after track taken from a record that has been out of print since many years. not many people know that this track was originally made for the mutek festival in 2002. out of respect we let mr. brinkmann choose his prefered remixer and we were more than happy when soulphiction aka jackmate (perlon, sonar kollektiv, philpot) took on the challenge. his remisch is nothing short of a future classic, maybe even his best rework to date. an essential release for your collection!!

on their introductory minus ep, click box offers a refreshing return to a bygone era of classic instrumentals, full of experimentation and passion generated by that ongoing love affair between man and machine. berlin shades starts out in a jittery minimal fashion but soon dives much deeper as the tough electro bassline expands and contracts dragging the dancer to and fro. the cascading hook and in-your-face sci-fi synth motif add a sense of tongue-in-cheek drama to a dynamic arrangement that incorporates steep inclines, sharp drops and snaking pathways. as the short staccato bass riff gains momentum and the hook comes round for the second time you just know somethings lying in wait and the boys certainly dont disappoint. lost road is anything but a blind alley, kicking off with some low-slung interplay between a two-note bassline and a whiplash snare that dishes out a serious spanking. hi-hats fizz across the audio spectrum, cleverly pitching up and down before a drunken bass sequence ushers in the main section with its sliding, twisted synth distortions primed for surprise and immediate disorientation. once all the elements are in play, the fun really starts with so many objects of interest competing for attention. the arrangement is pulled and pushed to great effect extracting maximum effect from this tough little unit. more electro flavour to the fore as the loose, broken beat intro and robot sounds of some toys make for some slick moves on the dancefloor. the retro synth riffs and dark spiralling pads conjure up images of some early 80s lab full of computer kids in white coats twiddling knobs on huge mainframe monoliths. the bouncing bass and analogue belches make this a must for all retro-tastic electro-boogie fans. the theme continues over into voxer as rising filtered bass tones playout over another trademark click box drum pattern, this time doused in heavy reverb and delay. an array of analogue bleeps, screams and laser beams keep the motor ticking over.

abusing our soft side for dub edgar 9000 gave us these compelling tracks.>play me minus three (patience vs. epiphany mix)< û what starts like a nicely arranged minimal tune bubbles and billows after a short pause up to a big ride on the acid-dub-ghost-train. at the latest when the decently deployed and gated french horn pad sets in on the second half you are completely lost. not for quick peep û but beware: danger of addiction of endless playing is definitely given.meanwhile the title >hook & bait< of the b-side rather reads like the basic principle of fishing. it really sounds like the classic principle of ambient à well almost, since in this case this ambient track is drifting along itself, underlined with a straight driving and floating rhythm fed by an earthly bassline.petri heil! (as we say in krauts-country)

mxm (short for maxim) is a fresh talent from the uk. he released music on hydrogen dukebox, combination records and snap shot. he also got future projects with linkwood (firecracker, prime numbers) coming soon. on philpot he delivers two versions of the chord driven move me track feat. jemima! a great, deep vocal anthem for the earlier hours of your set. on the flip, the first track the untitled deep is an absolute stunning electro track in the truest form of its meaning. like an update of early cybotron with a bassline that kills and keys to put a smile on your face! the last track called jazz seducer chops some nice piano chords over a funk laden beat, simple and plain...great!
