relentless stuff from kat with release number 26 coming via the hinge project, a disco balled collaboration between florent f and yo-one sutter.

released for the first time on vinyl is max richter’s emotive and minimal score to damon lindelof’s tv series about a post-apocalyptic global event where 2% of the world’s population disappears without explanation. richter’s approach explores the feelings of the protagonist’s family, the garveys, through intimate, small scale music. he tackles this psychological landscape by bringing a ritual quality to the score, while themes of departure and loss are represented by a sense of sonic decay, relying on the instrumentation of a few sustained tones on pianos, harps and celesta. max richter is a classically trained composer that defies boundaries. trained at the royal academy of music and finishing his studies under the tutelage of avant-garde composer luciano berio in florence, richter’s career has followed many paths. his musical output ranges from ballets (wayne macgregor’s infra), reinventions of classical works (vivaldi’s four seasons), collaborations with the future sound of london, roni size and vashti bunyan to writing scores for film and tv (waltz with bashir, lost and found, last days on mars) and solo work (memoryhouse, the blue notebooks, 24 postcards in full colour).

last year s disco (a fine selection of independent disco, modern soul & boogie 1978-82) compilation from soul jazz offered undeniable proof that few diggers deserve their reputation as much as dutch discotheque scholar disco patrick. given the reception, it s no surprise to see that the london label have commissioned patrick to undertake a second assessment of the genre s lesser known gems with the focus here on the years 1976-80. the first of two double lp vinyl samplers to accompany the full cd release finds pat pulling out gems like the extremely pricey skip jackson curio micro wave boogie and t.k. disco treat cosmic funk by mad dog fire department.

tiago, a name synonymous with the lisbons underground night trust at lux club and a portuguese pioneer of the blend between all kinds of music. also, tiago has released twisted tracks consistently for close to 10 years now, spreading his net across quality like jolly jams, public possession and his very own imprint interzona13. he epitomises how the art of quality disco, house & techno music should be done. in these glutted days of cutand- paste edits, his care, passion and talent hark back to the origins of the musical movement. as a producer, dj and musician, tiago and his extensive discography have played a vital role in the reawakening of love and interest in the various shades of leftfield dance music over the last decade across the world.

big with dixon, the drifter, alex niggemann, fur coat, thugfucker, frankey and sandrino. -sketches of pain- is a meet-up of two cultures which have been at war with each other for thousands of years. music unites where the world of men divides! here the magical voice of egyptian singer ahmad elsawy can weave its spell. intelligent electronica, ethnic and acoustic instruments, all join together once more to blend two worlds into one universal language. 3 remixes. luca bacchetti continues his series of endless remixes preferring a mostly dub feel with a version that retains some of the original elements, creating that tension culminating in what is the “suspended” sonic idyll that lately has characterized his breakdowns, by now a trademark of his. jon charnis, who we already know for his work on innervisions and all day i dream, has taken it in another direction to put together a true masterpiece, the tone here becoming more -trippy- with a pure afterhours atmosphere. the ever present and increasingly detailed groove add to that magic touch that has made charnis one of the most interesting techno artists on the american scene. last but not least one of our favourite techno artists, eduardo de la calle, surprises us with an interpretation that distances itself completely from the original, moving it into that enigmatic, mysterious and unregulated territory that is definitely his very own unmistakable way of living and feeling techno music. an ep that we expect will come-out from indoor clubs to find its best expression in exotic locations, deserts, beaches, dimensions that are part of that imaginary world that we call: endless.

both tracks are an orgy of dark analog synths, old skool percussions and perfectly placed breaks, which keeps you in tension from the first to the last beat. the perfect weapons to raise to hell any dancefloor. b sides calms down a bit with a great dose of deep house with a tasty south american flavor. emerging peruvian artists israel vich & jairo betancourt (get physical, king street), delight us with your control .

another duo from the berlin underground emerge on sov, the jaydes, includes a fly san proper re-working (previously released in extremely limited qtys on a single sided white label).

by pushing the analysis between what is within us and the after outside we find the last edges of realism.

seit mitte der 1990er-jahre jahren bereichern last days of april die welt mit ihrem zauberhaften, leicht amerikanisierten indie-pop. doch klingt das neunte album der stockholmer um songwriter karl larsson viel überlegter, gereift und ausgewogen, als hätte sich eine raupe zum schmetterling entwickelt.
die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive cd-version des albums.

2x12 inch vinyl lp in gatefold sleeve with download code included. second full length album of satoshi tomiie 25 years after tears - on new label abstract architecture.

for the past few years, young denmark vessey has been releasing a series of albums, both as a leader of carious groups and as a sideman in various others, which definitely mark him as one of the most exciting young players in music. vessey’s last album prior to this (2013’s cult classic) employed scud one for the rhythm section. vessey, in his own playing suggest that he may be forging a link between the new mainstream and prior innovations. it is to vessey’s credit that this album achieves a surprising degree of unity. there is little of the haphazard feeling that too often arrends blowing sessions by pick-up bands. it would be easier to mistake this for a group which works regularly. part of that is simply because vessey is a part of the new mainstream, the part that is seeking beyond the accepted common language to find ways of extending it. the rest is because of vessey’s unusual talent.

a storming debut e.p from the persian prince, kasra v. a 21 year old from tehran who hit the shores of london four years ago armed with a bag of his uncle s boogie & disco and a taste in music belying his years. a residency at love fever has seen him holding his own with the likes of young marco, jonny rock, dj nature, and a radio show on the prodigious nts has seen him showcasing his tasted amongst the most listened on the station. learning his craft over the last 3 years on his trusty mpc2000, battery of fm keyboards and midi synced drum machines, his debut ep comes with a synth infused sound and a nod to 80s sleazy late night b movies.

jj&j return on 12 inch after knocking us sideways with last years double lp. there is true finesse (as ever) in these tempod productions, with fabulous synth layering throughout and some of those ravey details they lace in so well for the more expanded dancers ... up and out there.

last summer theo parrish toured europe with a badass band he calls the unit, comprised of himself on keys and vocals, lead vocals by ideeyah, amp fiddler on keys and backing vocals, myele manzanza on drums, mr. mensah on bass and keys, duminie deporres on guitar and dancers jade soul, mai le, dominique choreographed by gehrik. on stage they covered sound signature classics, cuts from theo’s latest lp and a selection of theo’s favorite dancefloor tracks, and the label are excited to be putting out a few of the recordings made during the tour. starting with this two track 12 inch, the a side is a cover of skye’s ain’t no need. for those who know, the b side is a rendition of walking thru the sky from theo parrish’s 1996 baby steps ep.

if you are not a top end disco collector with deep pockets you wont know this record, it is as rare as its gets. the last clean copy went for $6373.

haunted doorbell are timothy j. fairplay and matilda tristram who released xylophone together last year on astro lab recordings. picking up where xylophone left off unconnected thoughts on jacking is four tracks of naive melodies, rough slamjack drums, and new age atmospheres. starclash kicks off side a, with its dramatic arpeggios and sid chip crashes, techno to soundtrack the saturday night laser show at the planetarium. following is a night of adventure with its eastern scales and washy broken chorus unit hiss. on side b we have beautiful sheffield - an ode to electronic musics (possibly) most important british city and the title track rounds of the ep - house music for listening to while looking out to sea.

four sides launches with a debut ep from uk based producer kapoor. sounds that acknowledge the past and present , this is a four track ep which has a mixture of creative styles and is here to deliver a foundation for the label to built upon.

rat life returns with the pagan rites on catalog number 4. little is known about the band from sweden, first signals were received in 2010 when they submitted their track 03 to the ifm demo contest. in october last year rat life sent out a submarine to search the swedish coast line for the small hut where the duo records their songs (apologies to the swedish authorities at this point, who confused our research with a russian military threat). all four tracks are packed with bittersweet melancholia, reflecting the neverending darkness of cold scandinavian winter, still the midnight sun is always in sight on the horizon! already recorded between 2008 - 2013, rat life records is very happy to finally make this music available on vinyl.

a fan of limitations, the maghreban took multi samples from his casio mt-70 keyboard and used only them to make this ep whilst on holiday in north wales last year. most of the tracks were made whilst staying at portmeirion, the strange resort where *the prisoner* was filmed in the late 60s. the maghreban is a fan. the result is more mechanical than previous excursions, dictated by the entirely synthetic source material. no dusty vinyl samples this time. more techno. very early support from ben ufo and lefto.

vermillion lands with an inter-stellar remix package. french techno connoisseur agoria leads us on a minimal, spaced out trip through shining synths and swift vocal echoes. acclaimed house maverick and hot creations head honcho jamie jones has been closing his dj sets for the last few weeks with his own remix. its bouncing, old school house tip bounding beneath bright gospel turns of phrase, approaching near classic status with arms aloft receptions on the dancefloor. and finally berlin’s deniz kurtel, who pulls her penchant for polyrhythmic percussion to the fore, casting sweet tribal grooves across an original surely destined to become a dancefloor anthem this summer.

300 copies only, dj support from midland, dam swindle, oneman, deetron...
the next release on rinse is the second in a series of three eps of gorgeous, punch-drunk house music from label regular rupert taylor, aka xxxy. the follow-up to last years acclaimed 18 hours, it is a further spiral inwards for the tripped-out, wistful style he has increasingly come to make distinctly his own, with clouds of arpeggiated synth notes and vapourised voice rolling atop pillow-soft, droning bass.

currently causing quite a stir on the underground, the jerome hill remix of marshall jeffersons s trax classic lost in the groove is a complete re-interpretation, solid jacking (hard) house music using the original vocal that s cut loud onto the vinyl and worms inside your head and has been doing serious damage in the clubs and festivals last year. now with all licensing and red tape cleared away, it s set for release. dancer boom boom is actually a collaboration between acid legend adonis and sidney winters, with a mix down by house legend frankie knuckles. this sat on the b side of am a dog on trax records and is rare & obscure to say the least, but once the needle touches the groove you know it s a killer. massive kick drums and mysterious organ scales, this one is a mad mad tune ! produced in 1987 (and sounding like nothing else from that year) it s been given a very slight and very respectful re-arrangement by jerome hill, remastered and cut super loud. strictly limited and if the previous titles on the label are anything to go by, this one will sell out equally quick.

inspired by the success of last summers retrospective on poker flat, steve bug takes up his traffic signs moniker once more for a fabulous jam that more than merits the 10-year wait. the uncredited tunes that first came out under this name were classic jack tracks that devastated dancefloors - and cookie jar is a more than worthy successor. this is stripped-down house, chicago-esque, direct and determined to make you move. berlin legend jake the rapper adds downright dirty humour with a spoken vocal fit for an age of internet sextapes and celebrity photo hacking.

ryan teague is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in bristol. his music combines acoustic instrumentation and arrangements with electronic and processed material, often incorporating minimalist, ambient and electro-acoustic styles

celebrated and mercury-nominated uk duo rae & christian released their first new material for ten years in 2013 on night time stories/late night tales after spending the last decade meditating in a buddhist monastery in swindon. this year the label commissioned a series of remixes from mercury rising and mang dynasty (aka ray mang & bill brewster) take on favourite game featuring rising star of the swindon buddhist circuit jake emlyn. mang dynasty focus on gita langley s backing vocal hooks adding a chorus piano motif and stretch things out into an epic nine minute plus main version aimed squarely at the dancefloor (and afghanistan). jake emlyns more aurally-pleasing melodic parts are utilised towards the end taking things up another level to a happy finish. initial reactions have been so strong it seemed rude not to slip out a 12inch on mangled, home of the hits!

brand new (and also the last one) treat in the the very polish cut-outs 7inch series, usually devoted to quirkier and weirder tracks than the much acclaimed 12inch samplers.

launched last summer, the 124black series has been a fine addition to the more established 124recordings label that promotes a darker, harder sound whilst remaining firmly rooted in the underground. a third release on the series retains the focus on new and upcoming producers with demuja, the knight cats, tijn, and jekyll all present. building on the raw and crisp style of house shown on numerous digi releases, demuja sets the tone perfectly with the stripped back throbbing delight that is everytime, whilst paris duo the knight cats add some 90s flavour with the excellent we know that. tijn arrives on 124black after impressing with a recent outing on djebali and diss you is a fine b side burner along with jekylls rattling transition dub.

caul is the new album from last harbour. based in the northern english city of manchester, last harbour play music with a dark, gothic heart yet their songs are always beautiful and transcendent. after working with producer richard formby (wild beasts, spacemen 3, ghostpoet) on two previous albums, the band took time out after touring to build their own studio in 2013. this new album was recorded in that self-created space over a year between 2013-4 and bears testament to a patient and detailed recording process that allowed time for experimentation and careful arrangement.
the vinyl lp includes a code for free download of the full album.
