the road to hell is paved in gold. one that guides to disorder, repression and eventually a last leap into od. yes, boy, this is life. unfair, menacing, dark and twisted, like the new ep from r-a-g out on lux rec. the dutch trio presents its first release outside the m>o>s legacy and delivers three excessive tracks wandering on the fringes of the jacking zone, analog techno and wavy obscurity. walk in, embrace life. hear it pulsates, disappear. gold vinyl in a gold printed sleeve. free download included.

it can be hard to pin down the elements that make up a citys signature sound, but when you hear it, you know it. and winston hazels new track, *break up*, is 100 per cent sheffield, from the boom and buzz of its bassline to the bitter-sweet choral hook that pierces it through the heart. not that this is a surprise.

and as the sun set that evening, gator boots knew that the world would never hear the music unless he did something about it.

the a1, named after the release title, is a summer techno drive, or a ride through a hot landscape in central america, as the notes of marimba suggest. the subtle but crackling low toms reverb dictates the driving tempo, while the chasing hats warn of a night which is likely to be dirty and sweaty. ready 2 glow opens with an enlightening synth note softly spreading through the air. its the after-hour call, the quietness before a new storm, which is about to boost and bring to surface the spastic contradictions of the drug-based soul liberating after-hour scene. corners goes funk, the quirky and rugged bass line lays at the core of the groove. above, we hear a multitude of spooky sounds and samples ranging from flying saucer sonic surges to playful stabs and bongo madness. the obsessive vocal echo, manipulated according to the abuse of ifferent drugs, is a clear indication of that. alza pure quanto vuoi is almost taken as it was firstly conceived during a jamming session. its twisted, swinging, it breaks the scheme of groove flowing as the tempo suddenly escapes to a faster pitch, jacked out

people must jam is our sydney based warehouse party that we have been running for five years. the ethos behind the night initially, was to bring djs to australia that we wanted to hear but that had never been, and to put them on in intimate spaces and let them dig deep into their collections to play whatever they wanted. over the years we have brought rahaan, al kent, leo zero, mark seven, trusme, frank booker and more to australia for the first time to play. floor jammers vol. 1 is the first in a series of eps from some of our favourite past and future guests. the record is pressed on 180gm vinyl and strictly limited to 300 copies.

if there is one thing in this world that is certain, it is that things change. and in the life of one dance producer with a new release on sheffields shabby doll, there have been transitions aplenty. with a switch from garage to house, a move from doncaster to london, and a change of identity from ryan aitchison to mella dee, his spacious four- to-the-floor sound has emerged from a state of constant flux. and yet… the more things change, the more they stay the same. *things dont change* is the name of mella dees new shabby doll ep, and when you tune into the title tracks compulsive twitch, you can hear the echo of his south yorkshire antecedents coming through.

cloaked in black, dimly lit and sparkling with dust, warm communications announces umbra volume 1. much in the spirit of adam xs traversable wormhole series, warm is bringing you a collection of anonymous releases that remind to remember drum and bass at its true heart: cracking snares, kick drums hitting your chest, subtle pads playing in an offcentered unison over 808 tones drowning distant thunder. these are the tunes you hear in a mix and say, who was that? the tunes that have made you wake up the next morning and type *id?* in the comments page. the tunes that do not even need to be named. warm communications umbra is truly about the art.

two dark athmosferes on the a side and a melodic one on the flipside for the second chapter of the irish electronic label eleusina recreations. we all will wait to hear the next chapter of the saga.

every label needs a strong summer release and we are pretty sure we found ours for this summer. from the very first second we heard this demo from stockholm based producer claes rosen (1/2 of dubstep duo l-wiz) we knew this would be one of our fave releases on local talk. seriously, its a real beauty! with a slight r&b touch, melodic chords and thumping house rhythms both tracks have that perfect contrast of soulful deepness and an uplifting feel. on the a-side daydreaming is a club friendly track with a bumpy house rhythm and smart r&b samples…the perfect summer tune! the b-side with wonderful is exactly what is says it is…wonderful! it is deep soulful house at its very best and music that puts a smile on your face every time your hear it. all in all its a fantastic package of exquisite house music ... enjoy the summer folks :)

lil jabba isnt like the rest of them. while they are busy joining the dots between house and techno or whatever is safe right now, he is throwing paint all over the page. he is not american, but he is affiliated with chicagos teklife crew (dj spinn, dj rashad, etc.) and divides his time between baltimore and brooklyn, exhibiting his visual art, riding around with his bike gang and making some of the most hypnotic juke and footwork you will ever hear. local action have been figuring out a release with him for over a year - eventually an ep wasnt enough, and they persuaded him to make it a full-length album, scales. some of scales has already seen the light of day through youtube or limited cassette releases, some of it is unheard. some tracks sound cleaner than others, that is because they are newer. that is how these things work. what is consistent throughout scales is the quality: across 12 tracks, jabba flips, twists and inverts the footwork template with endless layers of samples, gurgled vocal tags, jazz licks and whatever else he feels like. these arent trax, they are tapestries.

cavaan is the alter ego of a rather well known berlin producer and his fellow from milan. the duo debuts with their very much loved project. they feature a studio-recorded wonderful vocal on this hypnotically modern percussive house affair titled black snow. the original track grooves on some free swinging retro percussions and beats from the 80s machinery and a softly moving house-beat making this a very subtle killer for any dancefloor. while the vocals carry the track as light as a feather it is after the breakdown that things get really musical - you will hear yourself while listening the melodies and sequences. for the remixes turdjr has aligned a high-quality and diverse array of a current top producer. one of heidelbergs coolest kids on the block, lopazz knows that every track gets better with a lot of handmade music-and he sure is right in his interpretation of black snow. last not least i is under on the flip which is one of these tracks that sucks the listener in so deep that there is simply no escape: repetitive yet constantly changing and constantly grooving while remaining very pure! this release is filled with tracks that will long echo on the dancefloor!

panic girl returns with her long awaited first studio album lowlands to be released on infiltrator records, following the critically-acclaimed burn and rise ep and the panic girl remix ep, which joined together artists like dbridge, phace and duo infernale.
this 12-track lp is a very personal and unique journey into the mind of panic girl, exploring the depths, dark corners and sparkling mysteries of trip hop and electronica and not only thrusts panic girl to new heights, but is also highly addictive and deeply enchanting. with this album panic girl is further developing her own sound, taking in haunting melodies, a love of the bass, heavy synth work and oldskool sounds. lowlands will leave you wanting to hear more and is going to be an album to treasure for sure - if you let her take you on a spellbinding journey into her raw, dark and pure electronica universe.

american born but europe based producer dia serves up the next two tracker on her own wip label. the dj also runs her own event space under the same name as well as the twelveinchesoflove label and is someone who has proved herself adept in the field of heartfelt and instrument rich house music of the course of her career since first emerging in 2007. brightly coloured and full of dancefloor purpose, this is some of the classiest feel good house you will hear for a while.

good morning, mr. zhak!, said yuri somewhat officiously to his friend and they laughed out loud ... hence yuri appeared fairly crazy idea to write a release and dedicate it to a friend eugene (zhak).so the first release and the lead track good morning, mr. zhak is a picture displaying the story began of the day, eugene (zhak) morning. stormy morning rush, people on the street, the fresh morning air, the morning sun - this is not all that you hear and feel in this release. magical symbiosis of all this does not make you bored!

this is the second vinyl for the spanish label that is connected to discos paradiso record shop. agony forces (lycaon) express their experience better than ever. they are growing more and more. very high quality of modern techno. one of the two remixes is signed by an artist who doesnt need any introduction: ness. his style is unmistakable. the surprise is the other remix signed by dark vektor, pure electro that we dont hear much of these days.

nick lapiens debut release as metropolis garnered little attention when it materialized last year. a skeptical yet dedicated network of underground heads built up a subterranean buzz that has yet to spread into the daylight. that initial transmission was thick with the raw analogue flavors that have become ever-present in dance floor fare recently—but his is a sound that is dedicated to the emotive, narrative aspects of electronic music rather than simple fetishization or passing curiosity in the days of yore. this, his second release as metropolis, shows a more focused and patient hand at work. the titular track on the a side is a deep, psychedelic groover. melodies, textures and sequences undulate and intertwine within a lightless atmosphere guided by lapien with optimum restraint. equally pensive and gorgeous, the flood serves as a machine’s beat-less foil on the reverse. made up of little more than feedback and two slow, echo laden arpeggiated sequences, this is reminiscent of jean michel jarre’s more sinister moments: a brilliant paradox of economy and indulgence. expect to hear more from lapien here at sequencias. he has many more dark corners left unexplored.

believe delivers a consummate body of work with which nicoles considerable abilities in the studio are clear for all to hear. a wide-range of sounds that is sure to appeal to the idiosyncratic tastes of the various sub-sections of electronic music community. furthermore, it lives up to the high-standards of previous drumcode long-players and is an engrossing and impressive debut and one that offers a smooth segue into the next chapter of an already exciting career. sampler 3 kicks off with liberum spirita with its mazy ethereal breakdown on the flipside is the rhythmically entrancing yet uplifting fly with you.

superb new diagonal release! 1st edition on red vinyl also comes in a screen printed poly jacket.
john cage once stepped into an anechoic chamber expecting to hear silence. instead, he heard the low-end throb of his own blood pulsing through his body. this is the story that gave blood music, the first new act on diagonal, their name. it is an appropriate one too: simon pomery, the creative lead and only ever-present member of the band, strikes his guitar with screwdrivers, mallets and his own bare fists, frequently putting real blood into the blood music that spits violently from the band.

this is a whole new level of weird - intones a disembodied voice on proximas thermal vision the lead track of his new 12 inch for tempa. it is a perfect summary of its disorienting appeal: winding upwards through a tense opening, it abruptly explodes into a turbulent salvo of percussion. its monstrous chunks of sound chop violently back and forth from speaker to speaker, assaulting dancers from all sides and broadsiding the senses, while sub-bass blasts upward from beneath. it is both alien and astonishingly intense, poised to detonate on dancefloors without ever resorting to stereotypical club banger tricks. it is easy to hear why proximas tracks have become regulars in dubstep scene figurehead youngstas record bag.

vinyl only! 2013 repress! for the first release the swiss label has chosen a timeless deep house track from cologne resident and stadtgruen founder martin donath. >veranda< pleases with dubby chords, shuffled hi-hats and wonderful pads. dubbyman - spanish deep house pioneer and head of the fantastic label deep explorer music contributes with an incredible remix here and increases the focus on the soft and moody pads. the result is pure ear candy and we cant wait to hear this tune at the beach. two extremely strong tracks with a fantastically casual attitude and a promising beginning for waehlscheibe. both tracks mastered by above smoke at the hole of dub studio.
