bristol-born and london-based producer rekordah takes charge of lo fi funk records second instalment. as well as running the independent label pollen, rekordah also promotes a series of parties of the same name with efa (which have hosted artists of the caliber of mike slott and slugabed among others), and crafts his own brand of cosmic, dismembered hip hop, in that wonky style everyone is raving about.
>cherry coke< on the a side, is full of bubbling sounds that evoke the soda drink your nephew drinks while he plays with that atari you found in the attic, played over a dilla style beat, whilst in the flip side we find >butternut<, in which p-funk synthesisers rise side to side with space age special effects, frantic syncopated drums and 22nd century boom bap.

marco bernardi was an obvious choice for who got to do the first album on frustrated funk. representing his most delicate compositions ranging from freaky minimalistic electro trickery to the sweetest and intense excursions in the field of what they use to call intelligent techno . we simply picked out his best moments along the line and put it all together for this brilliant presentation. with this piece of art we show again that we don t give a shit about new styles, trends and hypes. we just want to deliver a very sweet package that you will still be playing and cherish in 15+ years from now. this deluxe double vinyl album will be sweetened with hand stamped label art, hand made screen printed sleeves and pressed on pretty pink transparent vinyl to make this package extra special. enjoy!!

nice price deal !!! very strong funky primetime techhouse bomb !! ltd one side exclusive at decks

a project from spain that was delayed cause we simply lost contact with the artists at the point of signing. the duo seemed to have strong bonds with a spanish clique of the notorious central american gang ms-13. sadly enough, the main producer is in lock-down for a crime committed in the us and therefor we never had the chance to finish this project. it will now be released (finally) as part of the limited when insanity slips in series with a handnumbered screened printed sleeve. the music is pure electronic chaos (think ultradyne). pure analog terror from a project that already ended before even getting signed.

first release from this exciting new spanish label focused on future synth beats with enough funk to appease george clinton. this is the first release too for the spanish beatmaker hybakusha, a pioneer of the skweee sound in spain. gameboy lover is a noisy 8 bit robotic skweee track which mixes chip tune drums and cutting edge filtered synths in a crazy groove. on the other side there is a mesak remix of the same track. for those of you who have been napping for the last few years, mesak is one half of the electro outfit mr velcro fastener, he has released solo material on dexters klakson label and is one of the most prominent heads on the skweee scene. his remix treatment takes the track into more spacey and deep territory, giving this record the official and personal stamp of the finnish skweee.

the second installment in the split lp series is a dutch affair, but it has everything it needs and more to soon make name far abroad. each side of the record contains a complete work clocking in at about twenty minutes.
side a is >chime ep< by hydrus. the four tracks they contributed stand out because of their meticulous production and their wonderful sense of melody and emotion. this is music in the best electronic tradition, blending hiphop, idm, ambient, funk, drone and badass breaks. hydrus begins this twenty-minute journey with a funky bump and end it in a mess of nervous percussion, splintered to dust.
side b is an altogether positive and quirky piece of work by kettel. like most of his work of the last few years, >yellow baron< is exploding with beautiful melody. in six tracks kettel puts everything to work to make your head bop, to bring a smile to your face and a tear to the corner of your eye. classic stuff, without losing sense of experiment.

the debut situation release has been one of our best selling 12s of the year, thankfully the boys are back with yet another massive release. having taken the edits scene by storm with their amazing debut release on disco deviance and the launch of their own imprint with an equally strong set of cuts, the situation crew have now established themselves as favourites of some of the worlds leading disco djs like greg wilson, ashley beedle, optimo, horse meat disco, the revenge and pete herbert amongst others. on this release the seriously percussive disco vibes of late in the love break fuses the sounds of paul simon with some salsoul flavours to produce a truly inspired musical blend. heavily influenced by the sound and attitude of greg wilson, its a perfect track for any disco or balearic dj set. flip the record over and the party really starts to lift off as goblin gets mashed up with the b52s and reworked into a wicked, percussion driven slice of disco funk. absolute dance floor madness situation style

after almost a year hiatus the detroit grand pubahs are back with their detelefunk label. detelefunk being an abbreviation for detroit (det) electronic (ele) funk, they relaunch their imprint with a remixes series of some of their favourite producers remixing tracks from their last 3 albums. hence the title of the series being made up of words from all these album giving us the funtastic “buttfunkula and the remixes from earth”. this is the first of 2 volumes / eps that will offer new remixes, leading into a remix compilation featuring the finest remixes of the pubahs music from over the years. volume 1 sees the minimal originator himself, robert hood, take the reigns and remix the title track from the pubahs debut album >funk all y all<, while detroits underground resistance / interstellar fugitives dj 3000 takes one of paris the black fus first tracks >stalking you< (previously released on throw) and adds his albanian rhythms. finally, last but by no means least swedens samuel l session takes time out from producing for his own klap klap label to deliver this peak time dancefloor remix of the infamous >dr bootygrabber<. promising to take robert hood, dj 3000 and samuel l sessions on a galactic ass trip in their star ship was paris the black fu & the mysterious mr os way of getting them to do remixes. >now all i have to do is get them to deliver< comments paris from his secret lab >i do plan to bring them home after the remixes have been released. working with these artists has been a goal of ours for the past few years, and now that they ve been abducted may the funk be with all of us<

the model is no stranger to gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to the model. as a supporter of gigolo records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous gigolo adventure. but in the words of the late george harrison, >all things must pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
the model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: dark-techno-baroque. the sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. it also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the a-side >in the night<. in many ways this could be seen as a return to form for gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. to further consolidate the techno aesthetic look no further then >flex on the b-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by daft punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of djs today.
the >vampire funk ep< is the first release from the models forthcoming album on gigolo. the concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of the model. exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. like classic transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. the result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. as pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. as the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as i type and you read. so we are already part way there. the rest will unfold in the coming months.

nice price deal !!! 1997 classic!!

peter grummich is a man who needs little introduction. peter has been producing grade-a techno and house for over a decade now on some of the most established electronic dance music labels in europe. peters unique production techniques draw upon a deeper sense of music. segeltuch – >the triolig deep track< is a dark and stripped down tech-house journey. chunky snares and simplistic high hats meld with ominous synth dripping with dub-styled delays. classically detroit sustained string sounds and rich analogue sweeps reflect peters loving detail oriented production at it s finest. what is most remarkable about this collection of sounds is that it gives segeltuch – >the triolig deep track< a remarkable versatility, both dancefloor energy and time.
elevation funk is no average b-side. elevation funk is a super sexy house groove that does the job right. deep and hypnotic analogue stabs slowly modulate to keep the bodies swinging on the dancefloor. odd synthetic effects and cut up noises just drip in overdriven dub-styled delays keeping the groove from getting style and providing delicious ear candy for the dancefloor. then about half way through this journey peter slowly brings back in a wet sounding hat pattern to bring this slow cooking bomb to the boiling point.
