the recent advance 1-sided 12 inch featuring the vakula and oe remixes is now sold out and out of print (never to be repressed). now you can get the full release. this 12 inch features 4 different, but excellent mixes of this track from lusty zanzibars first ep for glenview records. the original is a groovy, feel good synth driven instrumental cut. volta cab gives it a rough house edge, vakula goes for an acid house vibe and oe drops a driving, dark house mix. excellent!

the creative combo doppelgaenger, pitchbar records latest offspring, are hitting the club scene with their vinyl debut >lumberjack<.
in the track >flavoured funk<, doppelgaenger live out their hard-edged, pushing, deep side. the slightly trancy elements are joined by a hard kick drum and somewhat deep vocals contributing to the tracks dark and driving atmosphere. this track represents a homage to the thick tree trunk that drives itself firmly into the earth, covered by a resilient bark and crowned by its old cracking branches.
the second track, >i feel good now<, mirrors the trees lush foliage. somewhat lighter around the treetop, there is nonetheless a solid body below, which can be played into wide space. >i feel good now< gives us the lightness to leap from branch to branch and up into the crown that protrudes into a dark night time sky.

having swiftly carved a niche for himself amongst the likes of perc, ben gibson returns to sect to deliver more of his brooding and engaging techno. there is a great emphasis on sound design and atmospherics in the two tracks on quien es?, as ominous clangs and tense tones hang heavy over rugged drum workouts. >ceased to gasp< is the more industrial of the two, but still allows for a melodic slant in the cavernous echoes that define the track. >remain< adopt a swirling, psychedelic approach to sonic decoration that draws you in just as it continues flooring you, like all good techno should. highly recommended.

die fromme geduld hat sich gelohnt - das >gute leben< ist jetzt. auch wenn die im juli erschienene >waiting for the good life< dank gewohnter qualitaet und einem exorbitanten gastkatalog, die dürreperiode ausgesprochen vergnueglich in kurzweilige vergessenheit geraten ließ, hat die neugierde auf den dritten full lenght player des domstadt produzenten-doppels jr & ph7 damit nur noch mehr floriert!

get on the funk wave is a 4 track ep of original nu disco and house cuts from this up and coming italian producer (and friend of fellow italian nicholas). he released his first track in july 10 on elegant bit record. reminds us of kuba (and maybe just as good). in glenview die cut sleeve.

whether it is deep, tech, percussive, disco, chicago or minimal, ray okpara doesnt leave any sub-genre out of the pool. in a lucid representation of himself, ray delivers an 11-piece bundle of soul lifting, mind and body empowering dance tracks under the core title, good times.

reissue coming soon!

(dubka / tiger stripes / kasper bjørke rmxs) when the talented michoacan released d.s.s.g. a few years ago, the eskimo crew fell instantly in love with the track. eskimo now proudly presents the remixes!

its just a small sample off the groove platter a little something to whet your appetite, if you will. and who better to get the juices flowing than mobilees own versatile house-maven, ray okpara.

now this is what you can call great fun. amidst all the numerous releases somewhere between funky house and uplifting disco arrives finally a record again that will reach consensus transcending genres.

copy paste soul is a london based producer who makes warped yet warm deep house, which soothes the soul without missing a beat. over the last year this highly skilled artist has been making tunes to satisfy those wanting fresh sounds with a brittle edge and echoes of classic 90s dance music. the crossover appeal of tunes such as >want it< is obvious for all to hear and latest track >makes you feel good< does exactly what the title states.
with huge tunes like >84 vintage< and >so good< already under his belt, copy paste soul has an ever expanding army of fans in the dj community. annie mac called his productions gorgeous, while the legendary laurent garnier has been hammering these tunes in his set. tensnake and pearson sound are also big supporters and this moreish music has been played by skream & benga on their radio1 show and by brackles on rinse fm. this is only the beginning for copy paste soul, a producer who makes sounds of the future now…

having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

luv005 already and no doubt another classy four tracker that will top a few sales charts in the coming weeks and months. it has been a wonderful summer for the luv shack crew with every release bettering the last. the response and reaction to the new label has been astounding and beyond a pleasant surprise. with intelligent dance music such as this, it really shouldnt be such a surprise, but in a world of mass mediocre music, it does happen more often than not, that the good stuff doesnt always find its way. the guys though have found a place in a lot of hearts and quite a few tasty dj sets and record boxes with four very consistent releases. so, here we go with what is yet another worthy addition to any half decent djs repertoire me thinks. and it is lee stevens who teams up with local friends to deliver a very crafted set of aural niceness for your distinguished pleasure.

two black fox music releases for one special price! this pack includes:
- xenia beliayeva - tandom jump ep (bfm012)
- l kubic & tagträumer² - feel so good (bfm013)

sex tags mania warehouse find! this might not be one of those popular ware house finds you run into these days, but still, from a storage of a friend of a friend this got dug out. almost brand new but never sold in any amount - a german-french(?) 12 as great as the summer. straight to the b, you know that track you hear, not on any given sunday, but only the exeptionally good ones, the track that sonically floats around, though maybe being to euphoric, still gathers everybody in the area to some sort of silent agreement of peace. usually these musical pieces are found as single items on flee markets if you re a proper digger or have straight out beginners luck. maybe the world has turned up side down, because this beauty has german lyrics (with an instrumental following).

soul-funk era inspired tune plus outstanding remix by yuri shulgin! cool record in every way.

die doppel-lp beinhaltet neben den originaltracks noch sämtliche instrumentals sowie einen download-code für die mp3-version des albums.

gregor tresher and cocoon are linked by a long-time relationship which starts all the way back in 2004, when sven väth played gregors productions in heavy rotation. > about a good place< is a huge prime time floor monster as we like it.

vader, the good old, wonderful death/thrash metal band who helped drive both genres into what they are today. this compilation of their two legendary demos is impressive and shows how old vader rocked out. unlike thrash bands that play the same riff over and over, these guys know how to perform.

big mash up party breaks from the stantons!! loletta holloway meets the beach boys on the a side! flip for a young mcs know how over a stanton beat on the b side!! repress 2012

the time & space machine aka richard norris is straight out the gates with a second single off his acclaimed >taste the lazer< album. the summery gem, titled >good morning<, comes packed with three stunning accompaniments from leftside wobble, saint etienne and coyote.

very good to see that cuatro records is back on vinyl. the artist duo javier orduna and inigo oruezabal (also released on resopal, pong musiq, regular etc) show the two pearls of their unique style, classy deep techno. the atmosphere of the track pray 4 the value is very visionary and deep, as where the rhythm of the track dolls of mud is more repetitive with a catchy groove. definitely, a release that can be played by professionals who understand the dance floor.

as an increasing number of the british producers turn to techno as a source of inspiration, the gritty sound of the uk underground is easily obscured by the polished veneer of continental 4/4 music.
having taken his time to emerge from the shadows, paleman has constructed a musical voice for himself which turns this conundrum on its head by reimagining the skeletal drums and gutteral growls of early dubstep and speed garage as a style of uk techno all of his own. for this youngster, berlin is more of a startpoint than a destination. at only 19, he joins the ever growing base of manchester-based techno producers as the first signing to fulcrum records, a new label started in south manchester by friends sam schorb (aka damu) and adam rogerson.

special remarks: lp with double sided cover, limited to 500 pieces.

hands up is the production team formed by the analogue cops (restoration/appointment) and alex picone (cadenza). their analogue joint venture has groundbreaking results. machine powered house music heavily influenced by the berliner dub techno and by the funkiest 2step, with a debt to detroit. this first release features 2 dancefloor killers recorded on tape and saturated with bass.

2016 repress! beatamines & david jach finally arrived at their homebase mangue records after a long roadtrip with several releases on keno records, damm records or deich. the duo is currently on a good buzz with their successful single how never – so its time for a hot follow-up tune with remixes coming from einmusik (jittery heritage, italic,einmusika), purple disco machine (ipoly music, gris musique) and einsauszwei (grain audio).

hypnotic stripped sci-fi techno tracks proving there is unknown life to be seen through the looking glass. sci-fi techno tracks that tell a story. the ?through the looking glass? inspiration for the artist is the concept of the examination of the relationship between the observer and the tools used for the observation. the result is probably some of the sickest techno tracks we ve heard in a while! going somewhere between sahko and good old minimal detroit techno from mills and hood.

arcarsenal blablablabla... good music blablablablabla... detroit, chicago, berlin blablablablabla...

the boys are back ... back with another banger too. definitely the best little label doing the rounds around these parts of late. viennas luv shack records continue with the good groove venturing once again into suspenseful house and disco.
this time the turn of lesale to pull out the big thick juicy drums and chunky basslines for which luv shack is making a very respectful name for itself. guaranteed heavyweight thump when you flop the needle to the left side every time with the luv shack.

2016 repress.... two stalwarts of amsterdams techno & house underground scene. julien chaptal and david labeij, decided to link arms at the beginning of 2012 with the creation of their vinyl only label, mfd.aiming to bring their blend of electronica back to a stripped-down, powerful, and hypnotic groove. mfds back-to-basics approach was born out of the infallible conviction that dance music in its purest form can effectively reduce ones insides to a bundle of raw nerves, and induce a state of pure bliss. wether it be hypnotic, gritty or intense electronic music, the label focuses on explicit quality, keeping egos in check, and never allowing them to get in the way of a good time.

in the 18 months since his brilliant debut release for we play house, luv jam has been steadily building his profile with a number of releases, and now he returns on vibrations with his first full ep of material since that auspicious first record. the eps a-side is a typically lush foray into stripped back, slo-mo house, with opener tough future utilizing little more than a 303 bassline and 909 kick to slowly build up to its raindrop crescendo, and >rubber band< employing a number a dreamy synths atop its tense, gurgling bass. the pace picks up on the b-side with >last floor hotel (mega mix)< upping the tempo and going into full on acid mode, with its furious pace accented with frenetic cowbell hits and industrial textures. the ep closes with >elastic band< a deeper excursion into jacking house, characterized by its flurry of handclaps, weighed up by its rubbery bassline.

stell dir vor, wir leben im 21. jahrhundert, aber das neue release der sonst so zeitgeistkompatiblen good guy mikesh & filburt klingt wie eine lupenreine 90er jahre-house-single. zeitschleife? einfallslosigkeit? mitnichten. die beiden haben sich bei >no other<, das als 10 inch clear vinyl auf riotvan erscheint, bewusst für eine Überdosis musikgeschichtlicher querverweise in die frühen 1990er entschieden, um ihren dort ansässigen idolen tribut zu zollen. die b-seite gehört einem tollen remix von permanent vacation aus münchen.

eight full party shakin digitalism works (own track & remixes)

nice price deal !!!

next up on good ratio music is baldo, an artist who spent the past few months working in the back of this label getting prepared to release the third chapter in his own imprint. spies & lies is the name of his work which follows some brilliant remixes and tracks he did lately in labels like stranjjur and elevation recordings. as the story goes on after the great result of the tom ellis release, we wanted to give a different dimension to the label to bring it back into a more classical sound.

plak is really proud to announce monster heart driver debut 12inch.like agoria,the driver is from lyon and has really good taste for raw techno and detroit excursions. the a-side raw as fuck is straight from the mid 90s with a small detour via the year 3000. an analog session recorded on the fly,loud kick, phat toms,oversized nasty hats and a rave gimmick for your head,forget the forward thinking depressive thing,this shit is a perfect big room techno tool,you gonna smile, ance and sweat!on the flip side the path is your late rainy sunday companion, it will show you the road off detroit,ur and shakir are at the corner,to bristol dubby thing unreal excursion that worth the trip.welcome home m0nster heart driver!

the fourteenth release of kiara is signed by markus homm. the romanian back again to the spanish label to offer us a stunning ep. three basic pieces in which mr. homm folds to deep house, based on penetrating grooves, skeletal structures and organic elements overflowing with elegance and sophistication.
