more like encouraging advice than a description of our sound. a home for music of the night. music to make you wonky and stay out longer than you planned. dilo is from argentina but makes music in berlin. hes been flying under the radar but not for long. this track is slinky and tripped out and we love it. we also love mathias meyers music and alongside patlac theyve been creating some magic as of late. strings and tight beats make for a more emotional journey which we also like.

graham luckhurst, aka greymatter is one of the core producers of wolf music alongside medlar and krl. with a love for deep cuts, booming sonics and an amalgamation of influences that incorporates everything from jazz and world, garage to hip hop, luckhurst has developed progressive production and dj-ing styles that are uniquely his own. with a list of collaborative remixes the length of your arm, his experience as a producer is not to be overlooked and describing his output as prolific would be an understatement. greymatters sound is fine-tuned for cutting edge sound-systems and modern clubbing ears.

following up to their much applauded international debut save the youth, denmarks answer to warpaint,giana factory, return with their second album lemon moon this spring 2014. fronted by louise foo (sister of sharin of the raveonettes) and flanked by lisbet fritze (who also plays guitar in the trentemoller band) and sofie johanne, giana factory specialize in a wonderful kind of iced pop, beautiful songwriting with a lot of depth and diy attitude punch.

nelistening back, ‘interlude’ will feel like the perfect opening to ‘skylax’. a jazzy encore crawls in, morphing into a skippy hip-hop instrumental with jason’s signature flourishes all over it. aptly named as it is, this is the breathing space between whatever came before in your day, and the eleven deep house gems that are to follow. speaking of, ‘the love’ will have you gripped from the first bar. it glides the listener in, then subtly drops that signature, tightly-tuned bassline of jason’s and continues onto soulful vocals from there. ‘old dayz’ touches on a bit of a nostalgic note. the spoken vox cuts harken back to 90s hip-hop joints, playing over a looped latin sample-led beat. from there, ‘rawkicks 2’ shows jason’s rough and ready sampling style in action. a seemingly simple track, but one which has that special something which guarantees to keep people on the floor moving for its duration. ‘cut b’ contrasts this nicely, being a much cleaner production with tight drum programming and synth work. that said, it still has the classic jg atmosphere we love. closing out the first half of the album, ‘definition’ slows the pace ever so slightly, with its eternal pad structure that builds up the track’s momentum into something very mellow and deep.bringing in the second half of ‘skylax’, ‘john blue’ takes things back a notch further. a deeper tune, yet one that shows off an uncharacteristically punchy bass hit from jason. ‘last night’ is a track more reminiscent of jason’s first lost cuts ep on wax classic, sounding as if it had been freshly taken off an old tape with its sample-led beat and background hiss. the last four tracks of the album see a return to the ‘mastercuts’ and ‘lovedits’ series which fans will recognize from the ‘lost cuts’ records, with ‘lovedits 7’ and ‘mastercut 5’ respectively. the former is a laid back female vocal edit with the entire suite of signature jg touches while the latter is a garage house hit more crafted for the club. ‘bb’ brings the album to a close, twisting a disco/funksample over a pallet of drums and effects for the near six-minute duration of the track.all in all, this is the perfect follow up to jason’s debut album ‘313.4.ever’, with tracks for both the club and home listening. if you happened to miss the first album back in 2012, don’t forget that now you have the chance to grab it in a special double pack with ‘skylax’ on cd!so, needless to say, this timeless record is a must purchase for all collectors and djs out there

surfacing from the back streets of greater mancunia, mystery artist belly arrives with the first record on their new belly dance label. with little more information to go on, let s focus on the music with the two original tracks from belly making for interesting listening. lead cut *dark autumn* is a slow beat sleaze production dominated by the vocals, big kicks and heavy synths that would go down well late into the night at horse meat disco. *farewell* is equally hard to pin down, taking on a more overtly hip hop style and is packed thick with textural and sampled detail. on the flip rob insinna turns in two new beat style remixes of *dark autumn* that will appeal to the more adventurous selectors.

the 3rd release from tokyo based cabaret recordings run by so inagawa and dj masda. this coming ep is the first ep by berlin based dj/producer binh. he has already established his dj as almost synonymous with the sounds of modern underground berlin. this ep will prove that he also has a very unique talent as a producer. 3 tracks of the quirky world of binh, the release that stands out!!!

without an outlet for their more daring musical collaborations, washington d.c. producers chris burns and gavin holland started their new label, mysteries of the mind with the generous contributions of wealthy art patrons from around their city. unrestrained aural exploration of light and dark fantasy lies at the core of this labels ethos, without regard for contemporary trends, morals or popular social opinion

barely has the dust settled on the first cold tonic, yet label boss krystal klear is back already with two more heavy hitters for tonic002. building on the foundations of the debut release, dance 7fs shows a darker shadow rarely seen in previous krystal klear music. moving into lights out, eyes down territorywith the driving breaks of west end disco, this is kk stepping into his own. fumer tue features relics-esque string laden melancholy but never ever goes fully pg. this is r-rated lovers music and, if the feedback is anywhere near the mark, could easily go straight into last-tune-of-the-night-classic territory for the next generation of dance music connoisseurs.

the phrase *feux follets* from which archipel 105 draws its title, comes from the latin ignis fatuus, and translates as will-o’-the-wisp. the etymology reaches back to old folktales in which ill-intentioned spirits would cast an atmospheric glow at night, in order to lead weary travellers astray. today, the term refers to ghost-lights - artificial light reflections caused by decomposing organic emissions. anyway you choose to understand it, this music contains the mysterious and unattainable. feux follets are meant to depict an elusive (and perhaps also illusive) ambition. a tense equilibrium colours the constant, foundational sounds with aleatory movements. the compositions are detail-oriented, and boldly explore their tangential elements.

doc scott was on the decks. it was at tribal gathering (i think), 1996, standing in front of a wall of speakers to one side of the stage, enjoying myself, like you do, when this sound started growing inside my brain. my head was then ripped clean off my shoulders! words are still hard to find! it was the first time i ever heard shadow boxing and its the only thing i still remember from that night. om units 2014 remix is paired with the 1996 original.
dj support from: fabio, mark pritchard, friction, surgeon, toddla t, laurent garnier, pinch, zinc, baliey, rob both, billy nasty, krust & john b.

russian producer sanys has impressed with a series of raw techno records on his downfall theory label - and his latest release further showcases his talents. dominance starts with atmospheric synth washes before a granular bass and relentless percussion propel it forward. like previous sanys releases however, this is not straightforward linear techno and a rumbling vocal and insistent drums will keep the listener engaged. my concern sees sanys opt for a different approach, with a pulsing bass and a crystalline synth line going up and down the scales, intertwined with a vocal snippet, while told you so features another stylistic shift. on this occasion, it s back to the darker sound that was audible on some of the earlier downfall theory releases. tight, snappy drums and robust, insistent claps provide the basis for a droning, murky bassline that cuts through the arrangement like a lighthouse rays in the dark of night. finally, irish producer eomac, one half of lakker, delivers a version of dominance that centres on lithe broken beats, ghostly melodies and insidious tonal shifts. as its title suggests, dominance shows sanys has become a master of the techno form.

these tracks are fairly special in our opinion and we are very honoured to be releasing them as the first optimo music disco plate.noo are daze dasen (aka plastique de reve) and sami liuski (aka bangkok impact / putsch 79). this is a double a side 12inch single (plus a digital bonus track that we couldnt fit on the 12inch and still have maximum pressing volume). built out of imaginative sampling combined with analogue hardware, these tracks are phenomenally produced, lush disco string fuelled epics that fully work their magic in a club setting. this is modern disco, most definitely not nu disco.

despite making a impression with rough-hewn techno records on taanstafl and his own tallmen imprint, brian mitchell aka tallmen.785 is a relative newcomer to the genre. arriving in berlin to continue studying jazz guitar – a craft he’d been learning in new york from legendary jazz musicians ornette coleman and lawrence d. ‘butch’ morris – it was a long night in berghain that steered him toward electronic music

after a hiatus from the releasing scene, highlive is back with a dark and clubby new three track emission, you ep. the compelling title track, a lightly tribalsitic and clear structured sound conception, calls you to the dance floor. a fantastic call out hook when it clocks midnight.

with a discography that includes releases on night vision, be as one imprint, applied rhythmic technology (art) and francois ks wave music, roberto bosco commands a certain level of respect. here bosco surfaces on balance with introspective, a project that engages more explicitly with the styles and signifiers of tech house than the italians previous work.

from the two individually revered artists seuil and le loup, comes the debut lp under their collaborative dj/producing alias hold youth. a collection of dance-orientated tracks, designed to make the body move, de la club explores the origins of hold youth’s fundamental influences to their modern day stance.a lp in two parts, the first vinyl is almost a retrospective of primarily state-side club sounds, but also of the pair’s early musical staples. paying homage to old skool production, the inspiration drawn from the detroit greats like moodymann and andres is clear on the funked-out, jazzy vibes of street my baby or the smooth flowing les enfants du soleil. hold youths love affair with head-bobbing hip hop also makes an appearance on the intro and outro, sampling the one and only j dilla, perfectly combined with their own personal beat-boxing. not forgetting their french 90s roots, kool & the boug oozes that warmth defined so well by pepe bradock and trankilou… a club track which has the power of subtlety to submerge the dancefloor that one level deeper. part two looks to the example of german minimal and micro house and brings us up to date with the sounds fresh from hold youth’s record bag today. be it the weird and murky territory of dodge this, or the eerie, glitchy world of black dog, their modern vision of de la club is darker and sturdier in its stature. but it is the ability to weave seamlessly between the lps two halves, two ideals, which truly characterises the hold youth ethos and their signature djing style.

killer ep of hypnotic late-night techno from the rapidly maturing dark arts imprint. the brooding * point blank* kicks things off, combining twisted low end darkness with eerie orchestral stabs and immense claps – a darkly elegant opening. next up, * panic* is an essential joint, riding in on a tightly-controlled broken rhythm before a unique, string-heavy motif provides the intrigue. side 2 opens with the tensile funk of * downstream* – a sleek, driving dancefloor offering to get lost in, with space-aged atmospherics and bristling percussion sitting astride a tunnelling techno groove. finally the motorik * ricochet* combines submerged dub textures with slinky synth work – a strong closing statement for this towering record. tip! with support from the likes of dvs1, nd_baumecker, answer code request and alex do, dark arts is becoming an essential label.

over a year in the making, moon rock volume 1 is the first in a series of compilations assembled by throne of blood recordings geared to explore the outer reaches of electronic ambience, cosmische vibrations, and crystalline acoustics. sparked by their shared love of ambient classics, label head james friedman and long-time tob artists cosmic kids put out a call for new and unreleased drones, beatless versions, and arpeggiated chillout tackle.

lux rec continue their endless research at the margins of music, what is underground, at every latitude, to find rough gems and bring them to light. after a series of releases which explore techno in various ways, they turned their attention to another field. that of the cold electronics and new wave movement, and french musical existentialism. cold colors comes from bordeaux, france. to lux rec he is the best expression of and a new take on that type of music. a sense of solitude is the first reaction to his music. melodic longings for something that is not there, unreachable. four songs to depict a hopeless stare into emptiness. shadows of a love long gone.

nice price deal !!! house music all night long. unclear returns with the unclear variations sries. beautifull 4 tracker by the labelheads.

one of these things is not like the others. put veteran producer and general madman eddie ruscha (aka secret circuit, laughing light of plenty, dadamunchamunky) in a studio with the spritely whipper-snapper diego herrera (aka suzanne kraft & 1/3 pharaohs) and your results will be nothing less than an epic jam. as the name blasé suggests, their laxadasical style and confident panache is abundant. the duo ease into their productions with a cool hand and an open mind, letting the moment take them somewhere foreign to bask in surreal surroundings, but not without documenting the trip.

last magpie makes his electric minds debut with the *influences* ep in april. the eps three original tracks combine the producers knack for punchy uk club tracks with elements of the pioneering electronic music that have informed his music tastes. inspirations from classic hardcore, jungle and garage loom large on ep opener *mirdad*, while *pledge* takes things on an electro tip with nods to the sounds leading mid-2000s exponents. *i love me* juxtaposes light and moody elements for a heavier take on disco and chicago house, while the ep is completed by a sublime trevino remix, as the soulr boss reshapes *pledge* into the kind of tough, hypnotic house he has made his forte.

mollono.bass tanzt in vielerlei hinsicht aus der reihe. er schielt kaum auf aktuelle trends, nutzt ungeniert alle mittel der klangerzeugung und schlägt so einen eindrucksvollen spagat zwischen tanzbarkeit und tiefgang. aber da ist noch etwas, das in seinen organischen grooves mitschwingt und ihnen leben einhaucht: freundschaft. die ist auf der ersten von insgesamt drei auskopplungen zu seinem neuen album nicht zu überhören. die freundschaft zu seth schwarz kommt in dessen virtuosem violinspiel zum ausdruck. zusammen mit den dubbigen beats und warmen klangfarben von mollono.bass entsteht hier fließende eleganz von geradezu symphonischem ausmaß. wunderbar harmonisch fügen sich auch die gitarrenakkorde von jörg schwenzer zwischen die treibenden rhythmen. schon seit vielen jahren ist der tontechniker ein guter freund – nun brechen die vielen jam- sessions, die in dieser zeit stattgefunden haben, mit jazziger vermschmitztheit zur tanzfläche durch. played by : acid pauli, luciano, the glitz, phonique, helmut dubnitzky,dole&kom,benno blome,jeff benett and many more

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts.
whiskey disco #27, ladykillers ep by yse saint laurant. yse drops a sprinkling of femme fatale themed edits for this, his third full ep, on whiskey disco. whatever your saturday night plans, this ep will have something suited. the low slung, synth-riddled sunset woman, the groove driven and emotive crying woman both sit snug on the a side, leaving the b side for even more left-of-center grooves of ghetto woman and psychodelic woman. this ep further cements the foundation of yse as an amazing editor, producer and … ladykiller.

here comes the first installment from pogs upcoming album meanstream. remixes comes from tanner ross, one of our favorite member of the wolf+lamb & soul clap crews + night slugs head honcho (and ghetto house producer as dance system) l-vis 1990.

berlin based vidab records is pleased to announce the debut album from accomplished musician and producer tomas svensson. titled am i networked?, the longplayer takes us into the mind of a true synthesiser enthusiast, whose beautifully played and precisely sequenced tracks have previously only seen light on a handful of eps for the label. svensson, the swedish born long-time berlin resident, has years of experience playing in bands, on keys, synths and drums, and also worked alongside vidab co-founder oliver deutschmann on their rhodes-driven electronic project subbroom association
