black loops teams up with seven davis jr. and nikoss for a killer ep of deep soulful house tracks. often times, spontaneity in the studio can lead to moments of pure creative flow, and if these tracks are any indicator, that was certainly the case here.

a 9-track album featuring special guests including andre espeut, moniquea and adam chini. after his first album on omega supreme records, the portuguese producer brings us a new album in which funk, boogie and jazz are fused creating delicate pieces full of groove with a sound that leads us to the 80s. don t miss it!

silverhoejd with axel e is a tasteful result of what can happen when a 16-year-old producer from a swedish small town manages to settle within the colossal edm genre. he has created music that hundreds of thousands of people dance themselves sweaty when axwell/ingrosso, martin garrix and others put it in their usb and in front of recurring times at the world s largest festivals. but living in a city that has been colored by decades of more experimental underground scenes and especially in recent years a very strong ambient scene puts their footprints even in a young producers music creation. silverhöjd is a profound melodic houseware that is mixed by as much imaginative ambient. on the single we hear two versions, one more dedicated dance floor and the other more adapted for quieter moments.

the act of escaping that which is predestined. / a hustle. reto a ichi is a sonic tabula rasa for guillermo herren aka prefuse 73. there are identifiable elements of the artist you already know - an uncanny sense for rhythm, an ability to shape samples and frequenci- es like clay, an affinity for the subtle changes of repetition - yet this is first and foremost music born from the need for silence. there is no easy entrance point or index for the listener. the double vinyl release includes a download code.

fast-moving times, in which popularity and quality are often equated or commonly confused with one another, aids and abets this imitation game some call conformity, others professionalism. in the end, both paths will end up in predictability. heres where stathis kalatzis, aka mr. statik, comes to play. the resident at athens’ multi-purpose cultural space six d.o.g.s has not only been one of the scenes pivotal figures, but since he started to release his first solo releases in the mid-00s, the now berlin-based greek dj has earned a reputation for being a trend-ignoring, unconventional producer. whether his output for bpitch control, rotary cocktail, or even last years debut ep rogue cherub for away mr. statik enjoys thinking outside the box by crossing his diverse pop-cultural interests and pulling in expertise and perspective from beyond the usual functional formulas. after a decade of not staying in one comfort zone or sticking to one musical direction, he finds himself more comfortable in his producer shoes presenting his debut album metamorphose. housing a few film references in this for mr. statik typical nebulous fashion, the ten tracks not only carrying the narrative potential of an imaginary score, but primarily exploring a versatile array of influences, themes, and contradictions (which mr. statik as an illustrator also united on the albums artwork). ranging from the sci-fi infused album opener insomnia, the first non-dancefloor piece he ever produced around 7 years ago, over?

after demuja’s first album release „hidden paradise“ earlier this year, he follows up with a brand new ep on his own imprint ‘muja’ named -classic warrior“. the ep contains 6 classic house tracks, featuring jazzy rhodes and drifting basslines. some of the grooves will remind you of the ‘good old times’ and lean towards the 90s house sound with influences from guys like kerri chandler and ron trent, but still demuja maintains his own originality to the final finish tracks.

in the first release of rome based nvda, cosimo damiano brings 4 tracks together between jungle, techno and ambient. the audiovisual work traces the mythological imagery recalled by the etymology of its name (diana nemorense the pre-roman goddess of hunting), and its mood, which at times takes a dramatic turn, with the individual tracks transmitting a dark and nostalgic sensitivity.

two of the most refreshing artists in drum & bass today, villem & mcleod deliver their lp vision on spearhead records. having made waves throughout the scene in recent years with releases on a multitude of labels, their musicality mixed with dance floor flare sets the scene for the debut long player. funky, introspective at times, the album travels across v&m’s sound palette to create a beautifully crafted showcase that cements their status in 2018.
-we wrote the lp over a two year period of dramatic changes for us both, girlfriends, marriages, births, and deaths, it was this that fed back into the album. us trying to navigate our way through life, using that as inspiration to complete a dream we’d always talked about. writing an album is a different challenge than writing singles or an ep, it takes you deeper into how we want our sound to be remembered, more thought of the overall aesthetic, and ultimately more satisfying once we had completed it.- villem & mcleod 2018

&#8203,,&#8203,,introducing paris-based contemporary sculptor and music maker erwan sene joining the exponential unknown precept roster. gathering pieces thought of as little narratives for his debut release, not without a bit french irony around the concept of work, i heard you laughing wavers towards mechanical repetition and something more outdated at times. purposely slowing down the tempo to fit the apparent redundancy of an industrial environment and its steadily running engines. an eroded atmosphere of sorts, analogous to the smokestacks emanating from factory chimneys. accentuating the ambiguity of a wild thought which is hard to grasp. despite its machine-driven aspect, sene primary questions the difficulty to manage one s life stuck in a primitive mindset, making intuitive associations in a grid pattern. carbon copy music for the tangled minds out there, leaving room for nothing but sedated feelings.

mit ihrer formation chic und hits wie „dance, dance, dance“, „good times“ und „le freak“ mischten nile rodgers und bernard edwards in den späten siebzigern gehörig die internationalen discofloors auf. wie keine andere band verstanden es chic, die essenzen von rock, funk und disco zu einem schweißtreibenden, endlos goovenden und gleichsam cool eleganten mix zu verbinden. das ergebnis war ein unvergleichlicher, stets wiedererkennbarer sound, der bis heute unzählige bands nachhaltig beeinflusste.
erstmalig im vinyl-format erhältlich, bietet der nun vorliegende, exzellente konzertmitschnitt „le freak live“ ausgewählte highlights von ihrem letzten (reunion-) gig (tokyo / budokan 1996), bei dem sie zudem von ex-guns n’ roses gitarrist slash, der vocalgruppe sister sledge sowie stevie winwood (auf der hendrix-coverversion „stone free“) unterstützt wurden. zugleich dokumentiert diese veröffentlichung tragischerweise den letzten auftritt von bernard edwards, der nur kurz danach in tokyo verstarb.

omni music returns with a brand new vinyl release, featuring 4 more choice cuts of deep music. the ep starts out with bad twin, whose members will be well known to any omni fans and any oldskool heads. they launch the ep with a classic summer-sounding breakbeat trip down memory lane with beautiful rhodes, delicious harmonics and crisp breakbeats. continuing the ep we feature the amazing talents of the drumkilla with an new edit of his omni classic event horizon a string-laden epic amen voyage to the stars. side b starts with the atmospheric kings pariah teaming up with label owner eschaton to produce a stripped down and hypnotic head-nodder swimming with celestial pads and space-age bliss. finishing the ep we have the always magnificent rainforest who also teams up with eschaton to continue the journey into deep space with an at times frenetic, but always intelligent, collage of amen rhythms, pounding basslines and otherworldly atmospherics.

desperate music for desperate times, collin strange returns to the label with a hard hitting ep of 90s style warehouse acid. this is remorseless, zero compromise, full fledged acid mayhem start to finish in the truest sense of the word, coming direct from the source. strange does what he does best pushing his 303, 101 and 909 to their limits with extreme intensity and abandon. if siege made electronic music this is what it would sound like. punk electronics for those who thrive on everyday chaos of the new world disorder. no trance to be found here.

jansport js low begins with the rude assertion that we oughta wake up and be released from our dream state before we absorb what we are about to hear. what follows is 20 concepts identifying the many different states of human existence. the track titles function as a compass. if we began sleep, we are high in the clouds by album-midpoint, before allowing a wake to bring us back to the sobering reality of modern times. love, nostalgia, consciousness and artist integrity, these are some of the themes masterfully weaved in and out of lows soundscapes. jansport stitches together carefully selected samples, nuanced drum loops, and pungent soundbites. by the time you realize you are being serenaded by the revelations of one of americas greatest literary giants, the albums true concept becomes clear: nobody knows whats real and whats not real. but you wake up everyday to try and figure it out anyway.

only few artists have managed to develop their own distinct style to such perfection as abe, while remaining almost entirely unknown to the public ear. he dwells in minimal music, abstract structure and well-crafted melancholia. -peasants sought instead- itself is heavily influenced by modern classical music, modal jazz and world music and is at times demanding, while remaining slightly subdued. style-wise it can be seen as ambient, though abe doesn t feel completely at home in this genre, because of its emphasis on atmosphere rather than structure. recorded at abe s home in rotterdam, it is his strongest work to date and already highly appreciated by some of the most exquisit selectors around.

started at the age of thirteen with a crate of his big brother s records, dj matpat was introduced to an eclectic mix of music that has influenced his take on house music. racking up releases from labels such as madhouse, exploited, plant music, w&o street tracks, as well as derrick carter s persnickety all stars label, dj matpat has now combined his passion for production and house music to form his own label entitled clubby boy. with the artistic stylings of his philly party club congress and a remix by the bunker artist justin cudmore, the first release its time! (produced by the clubby boy himself) can be seen as a call to action either for these current times or to lose yourself with-in the dance floor.
