uk house/disco duo casino times are happy to announce the first in a brand new series of hand stamped, limited italo/disco edits curated or produced by the fun loving boys themselves. casino times have been releasing their own brand of catchy, neatly swung, dance floor ready disco and house on labels like wolf music and needwant. it is not often that an artist can be defined by such a distinctive sound whilst still maintaing a varied and extremely open minded approach to music production and djing. no two of their tracks are similar, yet somehow you will be sure you are listening to a casino times song before it reaches the chorus. their productions sit so comfortably on that precarious boundary that so many artists struggle to sit, while they are emotionally charged they are also extremely dance floor friendly and are as fun as they are provoking. the first in the series (casino edits 001) comes courtesy of the london based duo themselves and is testament to what the series intends to achieve… limited hand stamped copies.

christoph el truentos debut album, what we used to know, is born of change and confusion, and sounds utterly incredible for it. the deeply talented 24-year-old new zealander started writing back in 2011 at the time his son was born. tired fatherhood, personal upheaval and artistic indecision would actually help show christoph a clear path towards completing the record – a transcendant sweep of synths, samples, organic instrumentation and window ledge field recording that gently reveals new layers of sonic texture and emotion to the listener.

a firm favourite at guy gerbers supplement facts label parties, tini delivers her first ep for the imprint with two solid cuts of deep, twisted, rolling tech. knowing exactly what works in the club tini features the vocals of joe le groove for the first track hat baxx, which adds a whole new dimension to the dancefloor experience, swirling above the stripped back raw bass, powering through with fierce energy while holding plenty of groove. over on the flip turn around drives with intricate percussion while vocals from charlotte c.a send you on a journey into a hypnotic state. both tracks are essential dj weapons for a peak time affair, guaranteed to keep the crowd pumping.

following on now from mayo soulomon, fbnm are proud to present our next release from another italian producer giorgio luceri. giorgio delivers two sumptuous house tracks here with completely opposite dispositions, the breezin balearic bliss of prophetic vibes versus the dark detroitian dissonance of woman. woman, with thudding drums and deep subs setting the picture right away. warbling synth begin to layer before the crescendo begins with fat analog stabs, rushing synth pads and airy groans. massive. detroitian. dancefloor. destroyer. lastly kai alce (ndatl muzik | atl) remixes of woman. simple but effective kzr delivers a retro house groove fitted out with lo-fi samples and old school sequenced mpc drum!

limited reissue of this ultra-rare gem from 1978 originally released on tiny nyc private press label wabine productions. both tracks on the 12 inch are absolute killers and hugely in-demand with djs and collectors alike. although *sail on* is the acknowledged biggie, a highly sought-after jazzy soul classic melding super-cool low-slung grinding island funk with understated steel pans and a dreamy female chorus, dont overlook side as wonderful *the martians visit* - a tight slab of sun-drenched space-disco with a solid up-tempo caribbean groove, great strings and squelching bass.

big techno anthem! it is not a secret that pfirter and mindtrip are frequently mentioned in one breath and for two reason: serious analog techno without any compromises and superb quality products without any nonsense. shrink wrap.

two stone-cold killers here from none other than delroy edwards & funkineven. pooling their talents as dirty analogue overlords, here the two are on one straight mission from start to finish: raw and fierce acid cuts aimed directly at those on the beer and sweat-soaked floor. these wont be around for long to be sure, so dont sleep!

hello?repeat 022 brings flash and anavi. both tracks in essence bring a linear and continuous flow, to many, a daze maxim signature in the sense that each element does not scream for attention alone, it is the combination of them which creates the overall impact. a dose of what we need when we need it. it is to do with structure, it is about the way in which elements are thrown in adding that bit of surprise effect which is able to stunt and amuse us all in a very good way. flash starts with a solid bass line, the vocal flash, a hypnotic cosmic/trippy element and a hoovering noise on the background making up the intro. the locomotive sounding high-hats then slam in, which together with the bass line complete a dance floor bliss of a track with all that groove.
