ahead of the release of a full length album by the same title, honey soundsystem records presents 3 breakout tracks on 12- vinyl from octo octa s -where are we going?-. side a features the -new school- breaks pumper -move on (let go) (de-stress mix) and the peak-time synth heavy tear jerker -on your lips.- on the flip we share the 9 and a half minute aquatic house opus -where are we going? pt. 2- “do you feel better?” — is the line maya bouldry-morrison aka octo octa repeats like a mantra on the final track of “where are we going?” her newest and second studio lp. “it was the question every single person asked me after coming out as transgender,” she told us “overall i do, but no, i don’t feel better at every moment, which is why the track slips out with a dour bass drone in addition to a beautiful pad. these days, both emotions are ever-present for me.” it is precisely this candor and intensity that immediately drew us in when maya sent over the lp to consider for the honey soundsystem label. as djs we are always looking for music that can speak in our sets, not just the highest caliber productions, but songs that represent the changing landscape of the queer dance-floor. “where are we going?” reads like a diary. with track titles like “no more pain (promises to a younger self)” and “move on (let go) (de-stress mix)” you can’t avoid the autobiographical messages of these songs, but maya leaves no booty un-shaken - this is still 9 four-to-the-floor house and techno beauties to rock your body. her willingness to even model for the cover art of this lp, proved this is a side to octo octa we ve never seen or heard before, an artist ready to let her fans experience an intimacy as deep as the synths and lead lines she has gained notoriety for. applying her years of international dj’ing, this album flows with intention and has effortlessly found its way back into our headphones and home stereo systems repeatedly - pro-tip: you can even have sex to it. needless to say this is the first time in a decade honey soundsystem has thrown itself at a contemporary lp and we know once you hear it, you will know where we are goin

brand new transatlantyk release contains elusive synth works of sasha zakrevska aka poly chain. she likes to call herself a ukrainian ambient chavette and the title of her debut album is a tongue-in-cheek spin on eno s classic. music for candy shops is much more sticky and syrupy than its famous predecessor though. in every track on this record poly chain s rich and warm synth textures are glazed with another layer of radioactive sweeting. from atonal melodies on top to occasional spicing in form of odd reverbs, delays and drum sounds - it s all there. let me tell you straight up: this candy shop serves some weird sort of sweets, inducing hallucinations, anxious feelings of omniscience and transcendency. use with caution! available as a 200 copies only vinyl lp

bqd040.1 is a collection of remixes the label released during its early years. back then, the label intended to back up every release with a remix. the rhadoo remix was not just an amazing addition to pherox’s “gabrielle” track, but it was also featured on an ep released with new graphics. buck delivered an amazing interpretation of danilo schneider’s summer track “l’ecole”, that’s still very much a favourite at the label. last but not least, laurine frost’s remix of dana & nvelope’s “flowers”, one of dana’s first released tracks. frost gave the original a rich soundscape an extraordinary vibe. all of these remixes meant something special to the label, and now they’re all here for you to enjoy on one record…

no light at the end of the tunnel. no helping hand to pull you out of the hole. no second chances. no god to cure this deadly disease. no heaven to save your soul after your final seconds... hope will hold on, but in the end, death shall claim it. all this, we understand a little more, day by day.
we will experience our absolute zero, and the stages of life that come as close. we think that we will never recover and that we are not strong enough to fight against it. our immaculate, peaceful souls, that we begin our lives with, start to bleed, and slowly get torn into, bit by bit by the cold hard truth that breaks our protective walls. we learn to handle and accept this even as pieces of us shatter and die every time a little bit more inside us. to give light, we must endure burning. but what if everything we are able to burn is gone?
there is no other way... we are falling apart a bit more, every day.

kanja records is sincerely honored to present its fourth vinyl release, based on a concept called sunday mornings. with this series of releases we will focus on that warm up, early morning, after party gems and slowly fading away from peak time music. our philosophy behind this concept is that the focus goes to the tracks being timeless, and music that you can listen to in every time of day and night. music that offers a vast variety, but in the end coming together in that sweet and warm morning glory.

reissue of this very rare gospel/disco masterpiece, originally released at only 1000 private-press copies, and surprisingly unknown and underrated until today. calvin bernard rhone, a native of los angeles, has been ministering in word and song for more than 40 years throughout the us and abroad. he acknowledges that he is passionate about music, yet purposed for ministry. beginning his professional singing career at age eight, he has shared the stage with possibly every major gospel artist from the 60’s to present. in 1983, he released the album intimate friends on his own label, c.b.r. records. recently discovered by dj and collector charles maurice, the lp has never received the attention and fame it deserves. it was anyway obvious for the dj and favorite recordings, that some of the tracks it includes would for sure become real classics for all disco and funk music lovers and deejays. officially licensed to calvin b. rhone himself, its today reissued for the first time, as a 3 tracks vinyl single.

hell’s first single in well over a year, ‘i want u’ throbs and thrusts with in-the-moment physical tension. unhurried and extensive in its 11+ minute arrangement, it’s every bit as deep and as long as you’d want such a session to be with its rush-riddled breakdown that dips deep under the skin with lavish emotional chord changes and peaked atmospherics. a celebration of gay culture, an homage to purist analog-driven proto techno, a statement for what’s shaping up to be yet another exceptional album from the hugely influential international deejay gigolos founder, ‘i want u’ comes complete with two startling remixes: the legend that is the hacker accentuates the grit and crunchy ebm charm of the original with an all-out exercise in sonic horsepower while hell’s selector kindred spirit and all-round robot-rustling icon martin matiske provides a whirlwind trip back to another foundation era for electronic music with b-boy-busting electro boogie spectacular. trust us, you’re going to want all three. and thankfully you’ll get all three right here. let us know what you think!

ypy is the work of osaka based koshiro hino. having recently released on labels such as nous, his own label birdfriend, and the legendary em records koshiro now presents the 7 track lp 2020 for where to now? records. the lp leads with the slow building, off kilter title track 2020,where flurries of eastern horns skitter beneath evolving layers of wonked yet beautifully balanced percussive movements, coming off like a technoid homage to the fourth world works of eno & hassel. as is the case with much of hinos music, as the piece develops it takes on heavier and heavier modes of experimentation and excitement turbines whirr and fizz alongside layers and layers of percussion, constantly teetering on the edge of no-wave breakdown whilst never losing sight of the rhythmic backbone, recouping from every moment of collapse with total grace.

hot on the heels of the transcendental and mystical vibe telemetry long-player of the man like telephones, we proudly present: vibe remixes. some of you might notice the irony between the lines. a producer who goes by the name of call super is remixing an artist known as telephones. but, we rather rivet you on his 8:59 long skippy dub journey that recalls (pun intended) an atmosphere that could be found in the space between smith & mighty, the ltj bukem of his youth, italian house records, british balearics and bass affine music (of whatever providence). a magical mystery. but we don’t hang up here. dj fett burger is treating the other side and only he himself knows how he made what he did. 14:51 min of almost every style ever invented in the scope of house music. designed for people blessed with an everlastingly short attention span and djs on the lookout for a toilet break and a coffee break or whichever break, it leaves its listener speechless. and: its so much fun that once its over, you want to redial fett burgers number immediately.

always keep moving, never stand still a motto that dapayk & padberg have been following consistently for more than ten years in every respect. for nearly three decades sought-after musician, producer and machine enthusiast niklas worgt has researched diverse club sound effects with countless projects, while singer eva padberg is an internationally renowned high fashion model. since 2003 they have been traveling and performing together as dapayk & padberg. they are passionate sound nomads who capture acoustic impressions of their exciting journey. each album is a sound logbook, which captures memories in the form of beats, tunes and skits. on sink this ship, released a few months ago, the berlin-based duo provided a first glimpse of what you can expect from dapayk & padberg in 2017, with their new album harbour. a harbour, where both stop off for the moment, because their next trip is already planned: after the release of harbour, dapayk & padberg tour europe and row.

roman flügel and andrew weatherall supply two outstanding remixes of phil kieran recent album ‘blinded by the sun’, which david holmes claimed is “one of the best electronic dance inspired records in recent times.” mixmag described phil kieran as “one of those producers that impresses with every release” so it comes as no surprise that two music heavyweights have jumped on board for remix duty. kieran accounts flügel and weatherall to both having a heavy influence on his career. german dj and producer roman flügel is easily one of the most revered names in the dance music spectrum. his take on ‘no life’ is a masterclass in production. flügel has created a track that is powerful whilst also superbly intricate. flügel holds over twenty years of experience, extensively releasing on a number of labels whilst also co-founding ongaku, klang and playhouse recordings. uk born dj and producer maestro andrew weatherall remixes ‘finds love’ and reminds the listener of how beautiful electronic music can be. combining cosmic layers with the ethereal vocal, this is a lesson in what a remix means. weatherall has been experimenting with techno since the 90s, and well regarded as one of the world’s most influential djs. kieran created a ten track narrative in ‘blinded by the sun’, inspired by his experiences in the industry. it was met with high acclaim globally and this remix package further imprints his vision on pioneering imprint hot creations.

two years on from his critically acclaimed self-titled debut lp and 2016’s similarly transcendent club hit safe/multiply, ghost culture is pleased to announce his new ep nucleus. due for release on phantasy, nucleus, captures the enigmatic london artist’s signature sound in the reflection of unexpected, vibrant new lights. leading with the understated groove of ‘coma’, ghost culture quickly reaffirms his unwavering ability to hold the collective energy of a dancefloor, yet colours his latest work with a sense of intimacy and experimentation that resonates stronger than ever. ‘ico130’ explores almost every facet of ghost culture’s electronic form, as gasping synths and stuttering drum patterns flirt with an aching, unfurling emotional vocal sample, acknowledging both classic idm influences such as aphex twin and authechre, while subtly nodding towards contemporary, crystalline rnb. the ep’s centrepiece, ‘ngc1275’ adds flavour to a stirring, reflective acid line, amid a complex flurry of minor deconstructions and distortions, highlighting ghost culture’s unique, contrarian ability to inspire both beckoning darkness and escapist fantasy through his work. while the opening half of the five track ep is more primed for the night, nucleus’ leads to an introspective denouement. ‘perseus’ pits raw electronics against a framework of loose, lucid drums, before ‘ngc1265’ delivers a wistful, brooding conclusion that makes an emotive case that impacts powerfully across just a short sketch.

senso sounds drop a major release from techno heavyweight dubfire and label boss oliver huntemann. reuniting the partnership that has seen a string of seminal releases over the years in the form of their ‘elements’ series, ‘humano’ is the 2nd part of a continuation of this series - more weapons of grade dance-floor material from the high profile duo. later on this year their partnership will be summarized in their ‘restrospectivo’ album. former deep dish man dubfire’s uncanny knowledge of how to create epic dance-floor moments is in full effect, combined with huntemann’s precision tool production techniques on the original version of the title track. the result is a super tough, tight and incalculably driving slice of techno goodness that will ignite floors worldwide. the rest of the ep manages to maintain the pressure - with a set of sick remixes from victor ruiz, hatzler and shaded. ruiz, the brazilian techno pioneer adds another level of fire to the original, tweaking and refining the track into a damager that pushes everything to 11 and hits home with every play. hatzler, the hamburg based german dj/producer chooses a different direction - emphasizing more of the space in the original. rinsing the tension to the next level, look out for the epic middle section break down. the whole package is primed to destroy clubs far and wide - techno at its most effective. shaded’s summer skin remix also delivers a tightly wound interpretation, with a bubbling bass line and nervous, excited groove providing the fuel for an extended dancefloor excursion.

after an ep on creme organization off-shoot jericho one as dj plant texture, dona basile now assumes his dona alias for a new ep on the main label. entitled the v.g.p sessions, it features four new cuts from the italian, with three of them being dj pt mixes. up first is a live cut version of energia , a bristling electro track with globular bass and coarse hits. turbulent but full of synth based serenity, it is a fine start. cigarettes (djpt mix) is rugged and broken, with glossy idm synths and corrugated drums all loosely arranged into something prickly and unsettling. the deads at twelve (djpt mix) then gets even more fucked up, with rusty synths and blown out drums making for a dystopian house groove that will likely soundtrack the apocalypse. last but not least, nr. 13 (djpt mix) mixes up detroit synths, wild acid, heavenly chords and chopped up, buried deep vocal samples into something that will fire every synapse in your body. this is outlier stuff from dona that sounds like little else.

ten thousand yen is very proud to announce a new signing - rimbaudian, with this stunner of an ep. we first met him at our party in nitsa, barcelona last summer. we loved his meda fury debut and asked if he’d send some tunes our way. by the time we got home, there was a new folder waiting with about 40 tracks from rimbaudian and a certain dj seinfeld. just about every single one was great, a feat we can assure you never happens. this is easily some of our favourite music right now, and we’re stoked to share it with you!

special deal! it was a matter of time until john swing finally made his debut on warm sounds with three cuts in collaboration with the yet unknown david soleil-mon. considering john swing s previous material, this featuring defines a fresh approach to the composition. the signature raw grooves that have so far delivered stripped down, minimalistic house gems are now opening up to more meditative states of mind through a crafty combination of tones. every element sounds organically in its place: a1 delivers the right energy for the conscious dancefloor while a2 steps forward towards a more futuristic groove aesthetic. on the b side, searchin pleasures us with a lo-fi 11 min journey crossing over from dub to jazz while still keeping the signature house sound. definitely a turning point for john swing, who s now uncovering a new side of his faceted output. limited to 500 hand numbered copies.

the latest in cold busted’s 7” series – featuring previously digital-only cuts now enshrined on wax – comes from accomplished polish beat-maker emapea. known for his contributions to the iwymi and bust free compilations as well as his widely lauded album seeds, roots & fruits, emapea has been recently selected for inclusion in mark farina’s next mushroom jazz installment. so the time is ripe to get funky and fresh with this prime beat-maker’s new 7” single. this one goes out to the b-boys, as “b-boy stance” grooves with its ‘70s-style car chase guitar, feet-shuffling rhythms, horn splashes, and energetic vocal drops. every b-boy needs a solid b-side, and here you’ll find “b-boy theme”. this one transports the floor to a raucous block party complete with breakneck scratches and energetic drum loops, alongside ‘70s funk flourishes that’ll get any private dick – who’s a sex machine to all the chicks – quickly moving his hips.

the great upheaval is an imaginary soundtrack for every moment in history ravaged by violence and superstition. a collection of pieces projecting landscapes dusted by seizures and turmoils.
these layered compositions are packed of electricity and analogue walls, acoustic textures, drone strings and cinematic looped-movements. a sonic cathedral illuminated only by the fire that remains after battle and precedes the cult. a sonic miasma for each end of cycle.

realness: if there was one word you’d use to sum up parisian house dealer phil weeks that would definitely be it. he’s never kowtowed to trends or hype. he’s never compromised. he’s never lost focus of his primary goal: to make undiluted, straight-up house music that physically moves you.nearly 20 years deep as a dj, artist and founder starting the new year with a serious statement of groove intent, the eight track package is the follow up to his successful 2012 collection ‘raw instrumental’. his fifth studio album in total, the title says it all: rawness and full focus on both the dancefloor and the best creative djs. no messing around, each track is tailored for total mix and party pleasure and covers every shade of the night. it’s peaky business from the off as phil lights the fire with ‘the rhythm’ an incendiary burner that sp flexing a classic blaze sample, all the elements build with the bulldozer drums and subs pushing relentlessly. ‘oh baby’, meanwhile, slips us into a something slinkier with its bumping deep drum shuffle and optional instrumental.

vanta series is the new series for killekill’s dancefloor music. the releases come in series, every series comes with a theme and one artwork which is being split in several parts to go with each release. the first series is called “the end is near” and features four records. it comes with an artwork by french visual artist elzo durt. vanta 003 comes from eomac under his alias eeoo. eeoo is a side project for what is, in eomac’s mind, straight up, techno-rave-house-jungle- disco influenced, dancefloor material. it draws influence from classic styles of dance music. less dense, less conceptual than the eomac-music. less focussed on texture and atmosphere, a more direct approach for sweaty ravers and moving bodies.

marc antona has been always in the pursuit of new expressions within music as he has continually demonstrated with his work. following the jazz-infused adventures of the rattle snaps ep, he finally returns to his own turf to lay down another crucial exploration of beat science. hanging gardens is a masterclass in immersive programming, fusing the natural feel of live drums with crisp electronic tones that hover in a spacious mix. its the perfect angle at which to appreciate the subtlety of sound design that goes into every inch of marc antonas productions, teasing elements in and out of the mix so gracefully, its hard to tell where the joints are. the haunting touches of chords and lingering pad are deployed with poise, the intricate percussion progressively rising and falling throughout to create a truly immersive sonic journey. where the a side deals with angular rhythms and a shape-shifting atmosphere, unrestricted takes the sound palette of organic and electronic elements and feeds them into a rolling, technominded focus. the tribal thrum of the beat fills out an in-the room-ambience while the psychoactive synth flurries speak out the pulse of the machines. its a combination that makes unrestricted as intimate as it is exotic. in combining these disparate feelings within his tracks, antona once again brings a human feel to the technology, pushing the music into exciting new realms in the process.

axpin debuts with its ep „gilgamesh“, including three deep house tracks and a first floor remix of mastermind christian burkhardt (cocoon, oslo, cbsessions). it smoothly combines multifarious arrangements and arousing melodies with a forward pushing club sound. suitable for the dance floor as well as the afterparty at home, this ep transports the listener to a faraway world of subtle grooves, pushing drums and mesmerizing sound design. „gilgamesh“ is a track based on the story about the journey of an ancient emperor, searching for enlightenment in the highlands of mesopotamia. so it comes as no surprise that a driving beat breaks through the laid back percussions and hypnotizing atmospheres. wandering through this track side by side with mysterious pads and exotic sounds, a lost but defying melody accompanies the listener on his steps. „catiba“ is a track with a multilayered arrangement, that doesn’t necessarily reveal its complexity on the first look. different rhythmic moods provide the structure for two melodic lines, competing at first but working perfectly together after a thrilling break, melting your soul. they’re supported by a pervading deep bass groove that will make your body vibrate.&#8232,,christian burkhardt summarizes both tracks’ features and unifies them in an impulsive club remix that floats every second and climaxes in a thrilling break. dry but playful, perfectly fitting for the dance floor without losing the warmth and lightness of the original. „kryon“ is the ep’s third and most expressive track. starting with lost parts of a melody, rather an echo in the vast distance, the track continuously increases its tension, extending the rhythms until the arrangement blasts out a stunning break that, contrary to all expectations, is a calm and compassionate moment with a transient theme. the clear production provides a place in the mix to each sound, a deep moog bass rumbles in the basement while the stimulating percussion coats

sos gunver ryberg, aïsha devi, rrose and paula temple are the four artists collaborating for decon/recon 2. the new record will be released as limited edition vinyl on noise manifesto. in this collaboration series, each artist has produced a track from all the artists sounds, yet the release credits all four artists equally on all four tracks. it is a symbolic act for reducing hierarchy, ego attachment in identity, preferring instead to shift the focus towards affinity. paula temple describes the bond in this second collaboration as every artist in this release approaches their creative energy particularly connected towards a more shamanistic mindset. when you listen to the progression of their music, it feels like the physical and mental realms we accept as reality and function within are being stripped away. maybe that is weird to say about underground dance music, but i find the journeys each of these artists take you on are very exciting in how they affect you.

often called one of chicago s talented hidden gems, singer/songwriter/dj/producer tai davis means house in almost every sense. he s dropped vocals for and worked with established producers such as paul johnson, stacy kidd, and also galactik knights, dj sound, nate caswell and dj yakka. preferring to use vintage analog gear, his classic house sound consistently packs dance floors worldwide!

reaching our 100th release seems surreal. i started it with 50 bucks and a defiant attitude to release music i felt wasn’t repped elsewhere. the label has grown into a renegade family, and worldwide techno brand. proud of every single achievement and mistake we have made, we felt it fitting to gather a selection of our favorite artists and showcase our vision on the current state of classic modern techno. here s to another 10000. octopus for life.

jun kimata is a sound designer based in tokyo specializing in acid techno music.his debut album silo released in 2012 by denryoku label is a mystic journey through this style and we are pleased to announce his shape of my voice ep - a continued exploration of his signature sound, full of pleasant psychedelic surprises around every corner. on remix duties and hot off his recent forbidden colours release, we recruited andres aguirre who provides a trippy techno joint to spice things up. my love wears forbidden colours my life believes my love wears forbidden colours my life believes in you once again

adam port and jimpster have had a special kind of ‘virtual’ relationship the last few years with a mutual respect for each others productions and output of their respective labels. keinemusik, which adam runs alongside rampa, &me and reznik, has grown into one of the most consistent and hottest out there right now with every release creating a big splash and bringing magic to so many dancefloors around the world. adam recently remixed jimpster’s eel pie island to devastating effect bringing his own deep, late night atmospherics to the original and creating one of 2016’s underground hits in the process. so now we’re very pleased to welcome adam port (alongside legendary uk artists stereo mc’s) for a full release on freerange in the form of changes. opening the release we have adam’s own remix which sets the tone with a subtle and gently building groove providing the perfect backdrop for the stereo mc’s esoteric vocal. this lesson in restraint shows why adam’s productions work so well on big systems, letting all the focus shine firmly on the vocal creating an intense atmosphere with not a single huge breakdown in sight! next up we have the original of changes which takes a more electro approach with a simple bassline and crisp hats and once again allowing the vocal space to take centre stage for a deep and memorable track with a message. finally we have a remix from our own jimpster opts to push in a completely different direction. shuffling up the groove and laying down a repeating rhodes riff we’re treated to an altogether more soulful and less stark version making the perfect compliment to the the package. this one makes us think of his remix of osunlade’s momma’s groove which is no bad thing we feel! enjoy!

bratha is the name of the berlin based collaboration of matt nowak aka no mad ronin and the analogue cops aka lucretio and marieu. their releases on their own label bratha, on voitax and on restoration have quickly sold out without any mainstream promotion. topless dancers is their debut e.p. on matt nowaks imprint zaijenroots. as usual, this vinyl only release recorded at the restoration headquarters and mastered at dubplates & mastering, combines refined samples and quotes with extremely solid, pumpin beats and fat basslines. the grooves move smoothly from the metronomic dance attitude with a romanian touch topless dancers of the title track, to the wobbling estate, undergoing to the suspended, melancholic fluctuations of space boogie and the slow discoidish no mad ronins death. this pumping ep for sure fills every dancefloor with a deep and smooth vibe of real underground dancemusic made in berlin.

the greatest euro synthi-disco album &#65279,,,,,of early 80s finally reprint by mondo groove records. original released in 1982, computer disco is the most kraftwerk-ian italian production. marcello giombini was a pioneer of early sequencers and in this cult lp produced cheesey cosmic synth pop a little bit italo disco oriented. every fan of 70/80s synthesizer music and electronic djs should put in his collection if they not already possess the extremely rare original edition. original artwork restored. limited edition.

this label is founded by hungarian producer depthon (a contraction of the words -depth- and -on-) with a nonsensical approach to music. as said in the label s statement, the music released hereon, is also a reflection of the mindset of this techno artist. he came a long way, crawling through different genres but ending up in his favorite and most versatile style. and in january, his very first physical release of music will happen on his own imprint. an ep on black gold loaded with 4 weapons that are ready to add up to every quality techno mix and also will destroy the dance floor. 3 of depthon s own works and in addition a remix by glaswegian techno prodigy and sleaze records labelhead hans bouffmhyre. -last train- is the first pulsating and powerful track that works as the opening window of this ep, followed by the remix by bouffmyhre, which could could be described as an immaculate upgrade to the original. on the flipside, it s -faded- that is exemplary to the saying -less is more-: dark and simple pads on a compelling background that surely will keep one s attention throughout the course. last but not least is -timelapse- that contrary to the other tracks uses high pitched synths as a lead, in combination with hissing hi-hats and a constantly changing scenery.

experienced crate diggers are no doubt familiar with new birth, the 17-piece funk ensemble sampled on classic hip-hop records by wu-tang clan, de la soul, junior m.a.f.i.a., black sheep, lil wayne, ice cube, and many more. the genesis of new birth can be traced back to the nite-liters, a louisville-based instrumental outfit. founded in 1963 by motown songwriter/producer harvey fuqua and saxophonist tony churchill, the nite-liters released a handful of albums in the early 70s, scoring a few minor hits and perfecting the sound that would power new birth to further success as the decade progressed. while much of the the nite liters’ early material has been overlooked, their self-titled debut album is worth revisiting. originally released on rca records in 1970, the nite liters is a raw, soulful masterpiece that has been sampled by kmd, ghostface killah and others.
