wbeezas first release since 2012s peckham fly/billy green is ded single. if you believe is a simple stone cold knockout hook over deliciously arranged elements. wacky racers is a peak time banger - maybe his hardest track so far. wise root is a slow burner, only revealing its full force after nearly 5 minutes of keeping the dance floor locked in. mo bella is a rolling, swinging live jam of irrepressible groove. four unmistakable wbeeza joints.

when making a track, whatever his genre although in this case it would be electronic music, you can use reverbs, plugings, effects, loops, low bass or many simple and opportunist crookery or you can try a double somersault of talent, riskm and clubbing experimentation.

vinyl only! two unreleased re-edit made by massimo voci (dj, producer, and radio broadcaster based in rome) to delight the dancefloors. clean, elegant, brilliant. a sound that comes from the classics of the past, but not a simple cover or sampling

albinos has now been meaning to open communication channels with the baka pigmy tribe for quite some time, sadly to mixed results… this indeed represents a rather difficult task considering their take on the devil is a tall white man graced with white hair and red eyes! even though the baka people is a peaceful one, the legend goes that if they were to catch that albino devil, they would gut its organs out and turn those into an aphrodisiac concoction. strangely enough, albinos believes that his music just might be the best language to turn those antagonistic feelings into a communion, he even dreams of performing his tunes to the whole tribe, deep within the jungle, surrounded with exotic birds and the most hungry kind of predators! somewhat at times on the verge of irony, his music definitively trades with sketchy, raw and deep emotions, always sincere in the making: always a few steps away from the pre-shaped house and techno idioms, he offers his very own take on dance music, a most peculiar one. solely using old cheap hardware and an antique atari, the tracks at hand are one-take live performances, brutal incarnations of albinos simple virgin vision. as the quest for the baka people goes on, the antinote team is proud to help shed light on the journey of this obscure producer hailing from the grand north.

polish duo karol xvii and mb valance are currently tearing up european dancefloors with tracks from their plastic age ep on their own loco label.

the 7th release on aniara marks the debut of henrik bergqvist from stockholm, sweden. two tracks of no frills, hands-on house, made with unbridled love for music, machines and the simple joy of dancing your ass off. a-side *go for what hurts* is all about the strings and the slamming beat, propelling you into the early morning vibe, while the b-side *spin* has what can only be called a truly irresistible groove. it is the type of track that takes the party from a simmer to a rapid boil!

young belgian producer locked groove (aka tim van de meutter) cements an increasingly central role in the hotflush family fold with the release of the two part heritage ep. since his debut on the label, tim has propagated what he himself has termed 100% house and techno, combining elements of the big room, the deep and moody and straight up four-to-the-floor both into the space of a single track, and across the length of an ep. taking a marked step on from last years rooted and keep it simple eps, heritage pursues a joining of musical dots between and beyond classic house and techno, from the kerri chandler-esque house of *wear it well* through the epic landscaping of *lost* to *dream within a dream* blade runner beach party. in this collection, the young producer delivers two sets of three outstanding, genre-straddling tracks that further help to bolster hotflushs legacy as one of the most forward-thinking labels operating in 2013.

mule musiq now proudly presents eleven unreleased compositions by roedelius produced between 1990 and 2001. all of them are pearls of electronic deepness that show another side of the man that lives in the little lower austrian town baden. his famouse ultra sweet piano melodies can be heard – but they are not the centre of the productions. instead a more electronic side of his genius call the tune. with a minimalistic approach he let synth melodies highfly while some droney, melancholic atmospheres enlarge in the background.

sheffield based john shima joins the diametric. family. after a series of digital releases in the last years it is a tremendous pleasure to release the very first vinyl 12 inch of john on diametric. his music could be easily described as the logical progression of the legacy of famous uk acts such as b12, stasis or nuron, but that would be only half the story really. john mixes very emotional and deep techno with intrinsic and delicate rhythmic structures, in parts even harsh sounding bitcrushed percussions, and idm influences together to his very own special blend. now we can already hear the stupid comments from the haters saying that his music doesnt sound new and like the next big hype but the simple answer is: even if so, who gives a f#ck? it is great electronic music and diametric. certainly hopes you enjoy this record and are blown away like us.300 handnumbered limited vinyl copies only. no digital distribution.

having established his own basic grooves imprint with a trio of sultry new jersey influenced house releases, shane linehan hands the fourth release over to up and coming french producer janeret. *hard deep* goes even, ahem, deeper that linehans efforts for the label, combining a slamming mid-tempo kick drum with crisp and cavernous dub piano chords and the subtlest of organ riffs, making a nice contrast to the more upbeat styles of linehan. on the flip, linehan delivers his own version of track which ups the tempo and offers a ravey, pitched take on the originals simple one chord piano line, complete with bristling hi-hats and warm pad breakdown.

today we bring you the return of atelewo (osunlade & the pasta boys) with a classic follow up to the already well known label staple new day. this time we move a little further with a more percussive, brass driven soul song about what else but love. infinity proves to continue with solid production and sound of the teams collaborative efforts. sendai is a simple mood based groove honoring and acknowledging the loss in the tsunami of 2011. a simple gesture of remembrance this one adapts a local newscaster explaining the devastation and sorrow. as always we here at yoruba hope that this new release not only starts the new cycle of 2013 off well, but that it brings forth a new direction. enjoy!

vacances records was established in 2012, by dj/producer freischwimmer based in kyoto, japan. the ep is inspired by vibes of classic house, chicago house & underground dance music.sound design is simple but its really strong & fat, so deep.

incl 2 bit crew, lgg, volta cab and rosenhaft. 2 bit crews just cant seem. taking a sound heavily influenced by the underground house music / garage sound of the 90s, this is a bumping groove with a driving bassline and hatswith a simple female vocal sample that will stick in your brain. the second track takes things deeper with bastien carrara aka lgg with let me, smooth rhodes chords with a love sensation sample underpinned by raw beats and sub-bass. on the second side things get a little tougher. the third track is from a producer who has had many releases already on labels such as balance alliance, seven music and undertones, konstantyn isaev, better known as volta cab. his track what is underground focuses primarily on a killer bassline, retro synth stabs and a cheeky hip-hop sample used to great effect. finally is haim rosenhaft, a young producer from israel with 1992, his homage consists of an old school organ sound with heavy kicks and snares influenced by the sound of labels like umm and cleveland city in the 90s. again this will be a vinyl only release

son: a highly percussive track that builds up from a simple hollow kick to something special that those on the dance floor will appreciate. on top is a dollop of filtered chords that move back and forth.
gate 5: razor sharp chords combined with a compressed drum beat and percussion.

slowly building, soul-soothing, and disco-fuelled house with a nod to both the great masters from chicago and the new electronic breed. lisbon producer and lux resident ramboiage likes to take it slow to take things further. >del fuego< kicks off modestly with a simple beat and some light percussion, creating and eerie mood. but then some tasty, disco-fuelled heavy house kicks in, and the tune starts to roll unstoppable, riding on a horn hook. funky like a train, as the mighty equals would say. spanish om records darling al velilla steps up the pace a little bit and lets the original float over some tasty discohouse beats and eighties-flavoured synths.

die zweite single auskopplung aus dem aktuellen album >swing lo magellan< der dirty projectors. in >about to die< gibt ein markant-trockenes schlagzeug den rhythmus vor, an den sich sänger david longstreth aber scheinbar nicht halten will. selten klang existentielle angst so entzückend!

following the great reception of hiverned 01 here is the second installment of hiverns edit series. in the a side, tbs >invitation to love<, a highly anticipated track that is finally released after becoming a fixture in john talabots sets. based on twin peaks osts >laura palmers theme<, the track rephrases angelo badalamentis clas- sic from an acid house perspective. adding analog rhythms and a crispy bassli- ne to the ethereal chords of the original composition, this refix manages to keep the dream-like atmospheres of the song while transforming it into dancefloor- ready groove. the idea is simple, the results are magic. on the flip, marc pinol repeats appearance on the series revamping some lost australian minimal-wave track. in the vein of his previous >wheels< edit, the track conjures gloomy atmospheres and sparse rhythms with gritty synth melodies. on the top of it, the barcelonian producer adds dialogues from spanish cult art-house film >arrebato< (hence the title) multiplying the obscure ambience of the tune. once again, the release comes in a limited edition 10 inch wrapped in a handmade silk-screened sleeve. no digital and no-repress.

nice price deal !!! to the previously uninitiated, welcome to the world of reso. for the familiar, welcome to >tangram<. since the latter half of the last decade, alex melia aka reso has been blending heightened technological futurism with dancefloor prowess to create a densely cinematic musical universe. >tangram< is the much anticipated release of resos debut long player, a landmark thirteen track odyssey that reaffirms the place of the album within modern electronic music.
double 12 inch vinyl release, includes code for free mp3 download of the full album.

with influences ranging from breakcore and jungle to techno and electronica, their sound is just as far-reaching with organic sample-based productions and synthetic, processed electronic beats. lakkers torann ep, their second release for blueprint, kick-starts with the dappling beats of summer rains, before moving onto the more experimental mustard crying. ciar takes us back to the dancefloor with ominous undertones, while static & amp is a simple but effective exercise. finally the diminutive but meticulous one note caps the ep off in fine lakker style.

supported by spirit soul, buzz compas, acos coolkas, the legendary 1979 orchestra, lou teti and more

4 tracks, taken from the cd album! in >shortcake strategy<, fairytale-like melodies are backed with thought provoking harmonies that pave the way for an explicitly visual experience. we have been introduced to a new face of the berlin-based producer. shortcake is a simple recipe. it doesnt take a lot of planning or much thought or attention when preparing it, and in the end, it will be light, fluffy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying. falko might say the same about his approach to the creation of >shortcake strategy<, yet the end product sees his most dynamic and emotional productions to date, leaving us with the feeling that this comes from a strategy that requires far more thought, and is far more complicated than that of a sugary dessert.

vinyl only release !! limited to 300 copies... after the previous four compilation releases, merkurs founder shingo suwa now announces his own ep. as first track never leave me / original mix is a smooth house track, which combines synthetic riffs and chords with a solid bass line. hm dub is a remix by house mannequin, this remix contains some of the vintage chicago style beat, including filtered pads with dubbed samples. it is an incessant groove of a mellow and simple dub edit. side b inhaled deeply / original is a profound production by shingo, created with a deep and raw groove. wild rhythms assist the techno flavor here as well. sei katsu acid mix was created by the mysterious newcomer sei katsu from miyazaki. this remix is a repetitive trip through hypnotic, sweeping synthesized lines and tricky drumming. its kind of a dj tool that is functional on the dance floor

before the release of his debut album on ki, monokle throws in an ep to show us what to expect. the beautiful track >swan< pretty much describes perfectly what monokle means when he says that simple rhythms and catchy beats get him bored quickly. being influenced by the music of the british imprint warp for example, the sankt petersburg based artist has pretty much developed his own interpretation of well, what should it be called? it is monokle! he has his very own aesthetic approach to music and has a very fine hand for sublime melodies and atmospheres. on the b side he teams up with his friend and partner milinal. >swan< gets a proper retouch by daisuke tanabe, who shares monokles deep soundscapes and is just the right member of the ki family to get his hands on this ep.
pressing on transparent blue 10 inch vinyl.

sspt005 / inversions is the second outcome by plural on separate skills recordings. the new release by daytons mastermind james johnson is a clear statement to follow up with four powerful dance-floor oriented tracks. again made up of driven metallic chords, dub and detroit techno elements in the vein of the last release, this 300 copies limited 12inch vinyl record is refined to be a killer!

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.

gregor mcewan. a wake-up call for anyone who still refuses to take germanborn, english-language artists seriously. oh so simple, oh so moronic, oh so good.
pressing on grey marbled 7 inch vinyl.

following on from torquato and boghosians acclaimed debut on yoruba is this, a selection of remixes diverse and interesting enough to do justice to the original lp, which received praise for the rich tapestry of musical sources it drew influence from. first up, afefe iku delivers a much deeper, weightier version of paradice laden with heavy synth stabs and woody percussive elements. aybee takes when u touch me - probably the standout club track on the original lp – into much deeper realms, stripping back the original groove . its remarkably simple but flawlessly executed, the chord motif working effortlessly alongside the crisp hats. atone tackles zulu girl and in the process unravels a much more mechanical track, a massive mid-tempo thud dominating over delayed cymbal crashes and ghostly vocals. overall - a darker vibe and a truly timeless collection of remixes.

volume 1 in the compiled pleasures series. oliver deutschmanns >the truth< is a strong and angry oldschool flavoured piece of techno. markus suckut shows his immense talent in creating rough and simple techno bangers with punch. tres puntos comes around with an amazing deep trip. xdb does what he always does. delivering unique deep stuff. nothing more to say. support quality!

das erste treffen der vier bandmitglieder nach einer langen auszeit fand in texas statt, als man sich die zeit nahm, sich als alte freunde wieder anzunähern und als musiker wieder auf eine wellenlänge zu kommen. entsprechend fällt das grandiose ergebnis aus. zum ersten mal schreiben grizzly bear neue songs gemeinsam, zum ersten mal singen die beiden sänger ed droste und daniel rossen gemeinsam, alle titel tragen die handschrift jedes einzelnen der vier mitglieder. so geschlossen und eindringlich hat man diese band noch nie zuvor gehört. shields enthält einige der grössten und mutigsten tracks, die grizzly bear je geschrieben haben, die ihren unbedingten willen zur ehrlichen, ungefilterten gefühlsäusserung offen vermitteln. der grizzly bear-kosmos hat seinen neuen höhepunk

this time franconian tom shopper, who is well known for his collabs, worked together with alma gold, simple and max volkholz. the result are 3 dancefloor smasher at its best. in addition to that, there are 2 fantastic remixes from brise records head helmut dubnitzky and great stuff artist joseph disco.

ziros debut release aims squarely for the dark heart of the dancefloor. punishing 4x4 kicks ride thunderous, swollen basslines to devastating effect. its an astonishingly simple formula but it serves as a bold statement of intent from the young producer. early support from the likes of mosca and brackles on rinse fm and bbc radio 1 saw ziro invited to record a guest mix for mary anne hobbs xfm show back in january - a significant feat for a producer with no releases to his name. backing up the title tracks, a stunning, hypnotic remix from man of the moment om unit flips oni on its head, wrongspeed style.

lost and sound …
a1. fenin: black screen (w+p lars fenin) - raw mixed tech stomper for lovers of early techno vibes / simple pattern works.
b1. lars hemmerling: vektor (w+p lars hemmerling) - drowning down the river with moments of noises and shapes lost in echoes and reverbs lars hemmerling delivers a pieceof haunting grounds.

turquoise blue operates from near newcastle upon tyne in the uk and has been founded by neil harker with the simple aim of releasing house music which is deep, sometimes dark but always groovy and underground.

chicago house producer craig loftis aka grand high priest, began his production career engineering for frankie knuckles, as well as working as the in house producer/engineer at legendary chicago house label dj international. he came back onto the scene in 2006 with a release under his grand high priest alias, with the underground dance smash that is “mary mary”, a simple and infectious house groove featuring the sublime vocal talents of legendary chicago songstress dajae, supported by djs such as kenny dope, phil asher and karizma. we have here new remixes for 2011 courtesy of altered natives (eye4eye), bok bok (night slugs) and yannah valdevit.

next michel cleis masterpiece , this time on dj kozes pampa records... >mir a nero< begins with a steady, upbeat kick underlying a simple piano arpeggio - like if philip glass make dance music - but then some accents of vibrant hand percussion loosen up the vibe, soon progressing into rhythmic layers that cause the energy to swell. by the 4-minute mark, a subtle, buzzing synth permeates the background, contrasting the tracks overall organic feel, leading into the playful piano chords and colombian vocal hook. simply put, this is latin house with that anomalous pampa records swagger, drenched with flavor like sangria-soaked mango. flip that baby over and you get >amaranthus<, named after the famed flower that represents immortality. this piece stands as a color-negative of >mir a nero<, an unwavering stomp with just shadows of the piano sample heard earlier. freeze-dried rather than sun-ripened, >amaranthus< is a dubby, more technofied counterpart to the a-side, crafted for deeper and darker moments on the dancefloor.
