a little over a year ago nunorthern soul brought you bj smith s gorgeous cover versions of two hip hop classics. last time out he tackled mos def, which gilles peterson proclaimed as -the sound of sunsets for years to come- and the pharcyde, this time he is bringing his unique touch to the recently-reunited outkast. andre 3000 and big boi are hitting the festival circuit during the summer, this celebration of their greatest work should tide you over until they get back into the studio. and would they approve of these two radical re-interpretations of their music? we like to think so, see what you think.

this holographic release was inspired by black hole thermodynamics. in the case of omni, the insight was that the sound content of all fallen objects might be contained in surface fluctuations of the event horizon. siren to siren is microscopically random, like a hot gas. a known configuration of classic tape sounds has zero entropy: there is nothing random about binary configurations. if one throws a hot gas with entropy into the g count, the entropy would disappear - producing aggressive bandwidths, and ragga baselines.

nice price deal !!! moonlite bunny ranch is a saxophone player and two dj/producers, born from the spine of the dark jazz ensemble macelleria mobile di mezzanotte: freeform techno with improvised patterns and no real clue where the music would go, like a rough jazz band playing slow techno. their first effort, downer, is a 3-track ep combining analog synthetizers, digital effects, saxophone, hang drum. mixed at the subsound studio in rome by luciano lamanna and mastered by andrea merlini, downer gets inspiration from the illegal brothels in no mans land in the south of the united states, the jazz funerals in new orleans, the goat and the old lady.

the eighteenth theomatic installment comes courtesy of amberflame. the a-side unique is a lean towards the early-naughties dancefloor-oriented french electronica with a certain amount of delicate synthwork and contemporary crisp blended in. the laidback and melancholic ultraviolet, on the flipside, would, without any doubt, make a perfect soundtrack to a sunset drive down the coast… with a beautiful lady… in a convertible.

we have reached number 10. time to celebrate with a remix edition of the deep88 & melchior sultana project. awaiting the album release (later 2014) we asked 2 of our heroes if they would like to make a remix for us. with a lot a lot (and a lot) of happiness we announce the nightwave remix by ben >cozmo d< cenac, formerly known as dream 2 science (and sha-lor and newcleus and the cellar boyz), that made us a wonderful space trip with his dreamy synths and stylish drums. the other remix is >yo house< treated by the excellent australian producer andras fox, that converts the song into a super classy deep house one with a lot of hiss and love. the man behind > running late> really made some magic over the melody of yo house, as usual with the aim of analogue warm-tape-feel and his crazy skills.

time to welcome more new, undiscovered talent to the fold, this time we give you sheffield producer thatmanmonkz with an amazing ep entitled please dont slip, trip or fall off. thatmanmonkz came to our attention last year when his track that would be alright appeared on tone control music. the low slung, bluesy inflections combined with moodymann-esqe vocals and deep pads had us instantly hooked so when he presented us with three brand new tracks for delusions of grandeur we literally bit his hand off.

we re very proud to bring you gottwax ep1, the first release on our brand new label. running a label is something we have always dreamt of - with our fifth birthday looming, now seemed like the perfect time to branch out. we have always been 100% focused on running the festival, but we thought that expanding on our ideals and putting out a record would allow us to help the artists, who have helped us for the last few years, gain further exposure. the inaugural gottwax ep1 is a 180-gram heavyweight record limited to 300 copies, it has been complied in conjunction with nixwax and features exclusive tracks from behr, ojsmooth, rob amboule and eldoko - all of whom appeared on the nixwax stage at last year s gottwood festival.

the latest bass culture presents an exciting partnership between label boss d julz and his long time friend cassy, resulting in three tracks of the kind of refined house music that you would naturally expect from two well-travelled djs. her global status as a dj ensures cassy is never far from the minds of switched-on house heads, but its a rare treat to enjoy her own productions. when she appears on record she makes it count, and its no different here as her and djulz tap into what makes them tick as djs and dancers alike

location 141? location unknown? although one would hazard a guess at somewhere in the ether between chicago and detroit (that is, of course, if we didnt know any better). this mysterious créature de la nuit sits comfortably between the two places of influence and bends them into his own style to herald rogue cat sounds first emergence of 2014 and, in doing so, unfurls two killer, bumpin and weighty jams for the discernable discoid freaks in all of us.

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 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.

hailing from bari, nico lahs has become a beloved member of the stock5 family. on the latest instalment of the label that guy blesses us with his runway ep. but don’t mix up the title with some anorexic chicks that stumble along the catwalk heidi klum sent ‘em on. if there is one direction, it would lead straight into a planetary orbit. the opener “shreder” sets the pace and mood, a decent composition of pulsating synths, a vibrating bass line and a whispering voice, telling us to fasten our seatbelt because our next stop is going to be “orion”. actually this is in one of the biggest astral objects having been discovered yet. nico takes us there on his spaced out trip, while we are watching stars being born and dying in super novas. on the flip we’re finally approaching “runway” the title track. dive into a world that is undiscovered, promising and overwhelming. all in all this ep is way more than “mystic”, which is the last track. we left our planet as humans and we landed as androids in stock5 galaxy, which is ever expanding, crossing boundaries and creating new life on the universal dance floor.

rothmans are back with there first release of 2014 - coyote - the socrates ep. this time the guys are paying hommage to one of the more contriversial stars of the late 70 s/ early 80s the absolutely legendry dr socrates! this 6th release by the the retro, football mad, perm loving lot sees them take a step away from the various artists format into the world of ep s. and what a stomper they have in the form of the is it balearic...? boys coyote. featuring on last years claudio gentile release the boys are back on rothmans and in fine form with a mixture of psychadelic disco and funky balearic beats that would make dr socrates himself stand up and shake that afro all over the dancefloor. and joining them on the team sheet are a pair of knock out players in the form of mark e & ste spandex. mark e putting his silky skills, and attacking mark on passing memories, and then ste spandex bringing it up the rear and joining him in attack with a live vhs remix of act like you know. the rothmans label seems to be taking shape now and looks like it could be also putting together a dream team of releases

its time for local talk to go local again with another swedish producer, eric ericsson. with numerous releases out in labels like planet e, fragile and freerange he is one of those producers with one foot in the techno scene and another in the more soulful house scene. basically, he is not a one trick pony! for his release on local talk we would say he lands somewhere between classic chi-town house and thumping nyc house groove but without sounding too retro or washed out. its simply real house music!

the cellar boyz *pay me* is taken from ben cenacs timeless cozmic house ep on thug records. pay me which was recorded in 1986 is the only track from the cozmic house e.p that had available parts. the stems for deeper & deeper, seems to me & who loves you were never recorded. this was due to the fact that all of bens projects through out the 90s were tracked midi only at mix down, with only the vocals being recorded to tape! thug would never have had the opportunity to release ben cenacs cozmic house 12 inch if it had not been for simoncino. simoncino did all the a&r for the record. a gift not only for thug but any fans of ben cenacs amazing productions. with that in mind, simoncino has provided 2 remixed versions of pay me, alongside a remix from close friend nicholas!

mnenosyne was the personification of memory, daughter of gaia and uranus, wife of zeus and the mother of the muses, goddesses of the arts. also this time an excellent collaboration with an artist for whom i have great esteem tony scott aka edit select. because of the magic of art that unites the whole world, i have had the pleasure of getting to know him personally during an amazing gig in paris in which we began to design a collaboration on some tracks. after our first collaboration survivors of the pulse released on edit selects prologue music lp phlox we decided to continue with another ep of three sick tracks that i have given the names of three muses according to my personal imagination.terpsichore - to the he goddess of dance id offer this track with its controversial rhythm and detailed sensual overtones.euterpe - goddess of music and in our case seen in terms of techno music, a mix of pure energy and imagination and this track i believe has these two features. deep, straight and hypnotic. urania - this track i would like to dedicate to the goddess of astronomy

the main idea for the luxxury edit series was to take overplayed and/or uncool songs and turn them into tracks that i myself would want to dj. initially the plan was to do this exclusively using the sounds from the original multi tracks, rather than the typical throw a new beat and some swooshes on it kind of re-edit.

this record tells the story of a detroit groove from the perspective of the speaker, taking you through time from luomo s to the hardware syst3m parties, and the first leaky warehouse roof no way back where dean syst3m worked the door, with all the disrespectful nature one would naturally expect from a true detroit groove. created by two veterans of detroit grooves, bmg & derek plaslaiko, who now calls berlin home, in bmgs studio in the center of detroit. this song celebrates some of the out there characters and crazy cowboy outlaws that made this detroit scene happen on the underground level, that made such an impact that is still felt around the world today.

when the house music phenomenon was beginning, chicago djs like ron hardy and new yorkers such as frankie knuckles and larry levan would edit records for their own purposes, removing the parts they felt to be superfluous, concentrating instead on extending grooves and hooks, often adding their own basic synth lines and toughening up the percussion with what have now become classic synthesizers and drum machines. warehouse classics vol.3 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularised at the music box and rarely heard anywhere else.

emerging on the scene in 2008, luigi madonna has established himself as a young, extremely gifted italian dj. he pays tribute to old school european techno artists in a fresh way, blending in a fusion of experimental sounds and beats. his work not only would appeal to any dj or club-goer, but easily could attract the attention of major video game labels for an unforgettable experience.

scenes from our classic future is the realization of three songs and two projects that came together as one. as young aspiring musicians since the early age of 12, greg paulus and john camp practiced playing jazz standards into the wee small hours of the morning together. eventually the two would find themselves both in new york under new and more electronic circumstances. deeply indebted to the mastery of herbie hancock, paulus and camp would reconnect, this time with synthesizers, and continue on their musical journey together.

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.

the third album of depeche mode construction time again (1983) was the first one to include talented band member and arranger alan wilder to the mix. the album was recorded in john foxx s the garden studio in london and mixed in the famous hansa tonstudio in berlin, the latter being famous for its delivery of classic albums by artists like david bowie, iggy pop, nick cave and u2. experimenting with brand new instruments like the synclavier that allowed sampling to be manipulated musically, construction time again was a groundbreaking record that included industrial influences. these influences would come to full fruition on subsequent albums some great reward movlp940 and black celebration movlp947. songs like *pipeline*, *love in itself*, *shame* and *everything counts* turned out to become classic depeche material.

after 20 years of experience, gary martin couldnt resist a 12 inch that is also the 50th release for teknotika: a label from detroit that didnt exactly stick with the game when it switched to the mp3 format. *basking in blackness* is a composition of textured broken beat then classic four on the floor old school soul. *synthotika* is what would happen if a synthasizer could take over an orchestra. a track inspired by detroit peers no doubt. *every bit as beautiful* goes sensative deep house piano, a lil latin percussion and soaring eno-esque synths to top it off. the title is a bit sarcastic, let us face it, there is no life after techno!
pressing on grey marbled vinyl.

ladies and gentleman, we would like to introduce to you, nachtbraker (dutch for night hawk)

roll out the grime-covered welcome mat for the sixth installment of proper trax! armed with a stack of filthy, ash-covered analog sound machines, that would make most studio pros weep in anguish, grey people return with welcome to my chevy.

in a world where the internet overflows with the bedroom edits of thousands of would-bes and never-haves, it is worth remembering that there was a time, not so very long ago, when the edit block was an exclusive territory that only true disciples could enter.

parts 3 of the amazing celebrate release on 12 inch... part 3 starts with a bang and -in der weltraumdiskothek- by mysterious dresden based producer dc production. if youve ever wondered what music would be played at the night club of the ewoks this tune might be the answer. -nuthin wrong here- is scherbe to the bone with his stumbling beats, dirty synths and heartbreaking samples. we also have a big heart for disco here at the valley and this is proven by sandrow m & k_chico who put a smile on our face with catchy guitar licks, bouncy bass lines and cheesy vocals. -space dancer-, what more could you desire? finally, filburt from leipzig brings things down to a peaceful end with his slightly melancholic -my time-.

if you have ever wondered what it would have sounded like if can grew up going to see ron hardy at the music box and then recorded an album together with francis bebey in the congo, the debut record from black deer may be just for you.
the work of prolific brooklynite william burnett, whose aliases include willie burns, grackle, speculator, galaxy toobin (with eliot lipp), pg&s (with jorge velez) and smackulator (with legowelt) is psychedelic in the truest sense of the world. sprawled across six tracks, burnett fuses various outsider loner genres unto one definitive vision quest all his own, that of the black deer.

matt obrien first came to our attention in 2005 with his off-key industries releases hidden high and serotone, which would later get a license on rekids. his first contribution for curle was back in 2007 when he remixed efdemins acid bells. in 2010 he made up the flipside to dozzy & van hoesens track on curle 024. after starting over in 2011, were proud to welcome matt back on curle for his second full ep. dont forget your scuba glasses, its deep!
