over the course of four eps for numbers and creation of his own label ‘total fantasy’, deadboy has charted his own path far beyond the deep black space of mediocrity with previous records ‘if u want me’, ‘here’ & ‘blaquewerk’. on ‘return’ deadboy journeys further into uncharted territories, taking his music to the darkest recesses of disco and extraterrestrial synth-werk. the opening track ‘return’ finds the london-based producer taking cues from the likes of tangerine dream and klaus schulze with a gentle ambient opener that unwraps to reveal a beautiful and moving track. ‘des niles’ is a shimmering disco track built around an 80s boogie bassline, plus those killer deadboy vocal chop-ups that take us even deeper into the producers nighttime world. samples are worked to within an inch of their life on the floor-ready ‘yhvh’, whilst punchy bass and synth stabs take care of the rest. things then move swiftly on to ‘life code’, with the deadboy once again notching the tempo down and letting the track’s wistful oriental melodies ride out into the dark.

music is strongly linked to memory, sometimes just a simple note will trigger a deep feeling of nostalgia or emotion. the new homesick series was created by music enthusiasts who are living half a world away from their birthplaces. their concept is a play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless, tracks which feel fresh but retain their memories. for the first release, the homesick team have curated three pieces by drop out orchestra, late nite tuff guy, zimmer, and amadei. doo have carefully reworked -no scrubs- into a warm, bass driven, disco jam suited for the dancefloor, alntg has provided a solid groove theory lesson as only he can, and the ep is rounded-off with a special (double) bonus track for all the people who love 80s-era french pop music, reworked by zimmer and the asia-based newcomer amadei.

emotional especial gathers pace with an eighth release from richard sen, a man whose cultured touch has had a hand in various strands of the uk underground for the past two decades. graffiti artist, graphic designer, music curator, dj and producer are all vocations richard sen has done at one point or another. here he goes solo with the ghost train ep, a dark and brooding release of old school meets new school house jack that takes its cues from 80s new york, italian house and the nascent uk acid house that sen himself documented with aplomb on a 2012 compilation for strut. naggingly familiar samples and a low slung box jam groove drive the spectral title cut forward, whilst sens mastery of delay is shown with aplomb on the dub version that closes out the record. nestled in between is the highlight however in *meteor shower* where discoid basslines merge with psychedelically charged keys and hollowed out steppers percussion.

morphine continue to expose more destructive electronics from the u.s. underground... 4 bare bones tracks that owe as much to grimy techno as they do to the late 80s industrial pioneers ... right on point... tip!

nice price deal !!! quenum is an extraordinary individual. a professional breakdancer that was raised in africa, he found love in london in the 80s through mastering the art of djing to early electronic music and broke into the spotlight as acess58 in the 90s before forming the cadenza label with luciano in 2003.
his debut album *face to face* is deliriously deep and melancholic, rhythmically complex and gives a fragile new voice to techno. across the eleven original tracks, phillippe quenum exudes a graceful temperance creating tracks that flutter and take flight (indulge in synth voices of *children of the sun*) as well as rattle the bass bins (sample the raw energy of *basic solution* and delicate power of *ritual*). both sparse and insightful (*my people*) as well as intricate and anthemic (*never loose my soul*), quenums delivery is always quirky and slightly surprising and *face to face* is a curious analysis into this honest musical soul.

without further ado, h+p would like to impress you with no eres tu. some of you may remember mamacita s guest appearance on auntie flos future rhythm machine? here we proudly present her debut release. weve sat on this record for so long that we ve often forgotten how great it actually is! amazing 80s chicago house via santiago, chile. one of the summer. we were concerned about anyone touching the flawless original, but argentinian, ana helder delivers a blinding job, at once retaining the best qualities of the og, whilst making it her own.

jaime lhas read follows up last years push 2 shove with 3 brand new tracks for another great release. if it takes all night is a get down and boogie journey of melodies and groove. toot sweet is a workout on 80s drums and b boy bass. self inflicted ends the ep with some serious live synth action to drift away on music with love in jaimes 20th year of releasing music

vin sol & matrixxman return with their second double-header of remixes of one of the most distinctive voices in modern music, revisiting two of the hallowed songstress classics from the 80s. first up is the beautiful *never thought* which has been given the remix treatment many times before due to the accapella being on the original 12 inch. here vs & m add early 90s house flourishes - warm pads, deep chords and the original vocal seeping in and out of the mix, whilst elements slowly start to build up for what is a pretty ecstatic house rework of a classic. simple and effective. fans of innervisions wont be disappointed! on the flip, *love is stronger* is a mellower take on one of her signature hits. sticking to a cool 110 bpm tempo, it has got a bubbly, woozy late sunday afternoon vibe emanating from the first 4 bars. another solid rework from the vin sol & matrixxman camp!

strut teams up once again with rodion rosça, romanias rejuvenated electronic music pioneer, to make available an intriguing lost film soundtrack for the first time anywhere. inspired by early 80s star wars mania‚ victor antonescu had first created *misuinea spatiala delta (delta space mission)* as a domestic animated tv series in 1983. despite recording a 15-minute prototype score, rodions music was tragically shelved at a late stage, remaining an unreleased oddity in his archive until now.

second release on midlight, by the notorious frak, is in sight. one mighty tune on each side, both nearly 10 minutes. this mysterious group from sweden has a history rooted in the late 80s releasing cassettes, later many tripped out releases and lauded livesets. this fresh 12inch gives proof, once more, of their intriguingly stripped sound. first limited pressing comes with a limited inlay. get ready for a fix!

the story behind this record begins in 2004 on newbury street in boston massachusetts. juice belushi founding member paul foley is dressed head to toe in 80s regalia, including vest, fingerless leather gloves, fedora and chain connecting nose-ring to ear pierce. its like a scene out of michael jacksons bad, minus the dancing. at his feet is a boom box blasting freestyle and 80s electro-funk, hes handing out mix cds. needless to say we were intrigued!

although delivering a mysterious & scantily clad 12 inch is hardly a novel concept these days, we must confess to being more than a little excited when we heard this one! it is undercover time again, and we’re sworn to secrecy, of course… what we do know, however is that this mighty release is an absolute dancefloor sureshot! made up of two long, pitched down and utterly mesmerising workouts kicking off with itaque putant, a mid-tempo, tripped out disco number that marries elements of techno, late 80s balearia and more than a nod towards classic red zone dubs. super low subs and bags of melodic atmosphere conspire to provide a perfect dancing under the stars moment. on the flip timento is a lysergic, tribalistic epic, stitching together a series of ethnic ingredients and overlaying some seriously transcendent modern synth candy. building into the soundtrack for a full blown shamanic vision! a serious platter then, and when the music is this good, who needs more?

nice price deal !!! alexey volkov who returns to the label with his interwave ep, comprising 4 killer tracks. known for his releases on planete rouge, this producer started his career in northwestern russia ( saint petersburg) in 1997 as a local underground techno dj, enthusiastic record collector and music experimenter. volkov takes much of his inspiration from early synthesizer music and the industrial music scene, as well as artist such as daniel miller, chrislo haas. he also taken inspiration from 80s ebm and new / synth/ dark wave scene from belgium, france and germany. as well as planete rouge, he has also recently released music on semantica. his interwave ep is dark, raw and full of character.

extremely welcome vinyl reissue for this highly collectible and obscure early 80s jazz-funk-disco fusion lp from david astri. originally released on tiny baltimore label award, the album oozes quality all the way from the excellent opening track, super-cool sexy floor-filler *get down to it* - with standouts including the superb brass-driven funk workout *do it right*, the beautifully delicate and dreamy *safe and sound* and breezy summer groover *everyone has feelings*, both with sweet vocals from karen goldberg. however, the lp saves the best till last with an amazing eight and a half minute version of the wonderful in-demand electro funk boogie burner *dancing digits*, a big play for many discerning djs including harvey, todd terje etc. dont miss your chance to own this fantastic slice of jazz-funk heaven.

somewhere along the line the true spirit of the ku was lost in a sea of buddha bar pish and the anaemic meanderings of anyone with a nine bar and a spanish guitar. thankfully, nado uncork their bottle of vintage san rafael dust and sprinkle it liberally over their seventh release to put the sun and fun back into the balearic discotheque. and who better to call upon for authentic 80s oddities than the irrepressible brenda ray, who has plunged into the naffi hq archive and plucked out four vivacious (& previously unreleased) gems, wholly deserving the full light of day.

following their acclaimed debut album, migration, on prins thomas internasjonal label in 2012, jamie paton and nigel hoyle (aka nigel of bermondsey) have seemed relatively quiet save for the odd remix here and there. tucked away deep in their south east london base though, a series of remixes and solo projects have been steadily forming. with new c&a material planned for 2014, plus more to come from jamies new solo efforts, as well as nigel making a long overdue reappearance in maurice & charles, now seems the right time to draw a line under their collective work to date. here then are a collection of unreleased interpretatons, including the sought after vocal remix of psychedlic darlings, in goats anthemic run to your mama. this is followed by a late night dub of 80s pop duo blancmange that mixes strings, guitar and some dub bass with a dose of space echo before bringing neil arthur s classicly recognisable refrain shining through. to finish is a remix of goats label mates teeth of the sea. fx-soundtrack vocal, bubbling 303 and 808 combine on a proper 3am dub that builds beyond some mere drug-chug.

adding to his extensive and diverse catalog, alexi delano delivers his first release for spectral sound. my busted sh-101 is an ode to the beloved and portable synthesizer made by roland in the early 80s, not long before delano started djing. as a producer, he s earned a reputation for being a bit of a machine himself, churning out records on a wide variety of labels over the last 20 years. he holds his own in house music under his a.d.n.y. moniker, but its with tracks such as this one that show off his love for dark, weird techno that sits comfortably alongside spectrals finest.

there are certain moments and event that can redefine a nation and a culture. the 1987 1988 acid house explosion was such a moment in our time that it did capture a nation and a forged a new era in modern music. acid was such a taboo in the late 80s in the uk that law officials thought that the music insight mass use of acid and everyone would space out, and that was far from the truth. but what is true that some guys from chicago created a sound that the world einbraced and continues to embrace to this day.

und es geht weiter - nach dem geglueckten labelstart von ritter butzke studio sind wir nun bereit für die naechste runde. das zweite release kommt ebenfalls von einem resident des hauses, naemlich patryk molinari, dessen >addicted to the vibe ep< schon ueber ihren namen deutlich macht wohin die musikalische reise gehen wird. die a-seite >addicted< ist ein 80s angehauchter track ohne dabei wie ein abklatsch aus alten zeiten zu wirken. getragen wird der song durch ein massives bass-fundament wozu sich dann im spaeteren verlauf noch wohlige pads und eingaengige weibliche vocals gesellen, welche den tracktitel besingen - >im so addicted!< die b-seite bietet dann mit >neon vibe< einen schoenen kontrast dazu. hier hat patryk wesentlich fokussierter auf den groove gearbeitet ohne dabei in die belanglosigkeit abzudriften. fuer die noetige spannung sorgen die tiefen maennliche vocoder-vocals, gutdurchdachte chord-rhythmen und natuerlich das punktgenaue drumming, welches sofort zum mitgrooven animiert. zu diesem track haben dann noch kotelett & zadak einen remix beigesteuert, der sich natürlich am original orientiert, ihm aber zugleich einen ganz anderen charakter verleiht. die beiden haben das thema deutlich percussiver aufgegriffen und den groove dann zusaetzlich mit einer sehr praegnanten bassline untermalt. das abwechslungsreiche arrangement und diverse effektspielereinen sorgen dafuer, dass mit sicherheit keine langeweile beim hoerer aufkommen wird. alles in allem ein sehr rundes release, wie wir finden, und daher hoffen wir dass es auch bei euch wieder auf anklang stoßen wird!

spike wolters quartet of self released lps which surfaced between 1981 - 84 have become the stuff of legend. an avant garde collection of solo tracks, combining guitar, drum machines, synths & vocals into spacious, fx laden compositions which stand firmly outside of the era in which they were created. its a lo-fi, but broad selection, taking in experimental pieces, alongside taut post-punk workouts, and more laidback steely dan moments. the sixteen cuts on orange cloud nine have been lovingly compiled from those four early 80s lps by golf channels phil south. its a limited single vinyl package, with custom artwork from perks & minis misha & individual download code.
