full length double lp from stockholms biggest sound, skudge..tip! although the duo was only formed in summer 2009, they have already moved out of near anonymity to become precious favourites of deep, warehouse-styled house and techno fans. their output to date has moulded together classic ideas and modern aesthetics with a keen sense of minimalism: their looped soundscapes are often bare, but never lacking, and the intersection between house and techno seems to be the point at which the duo most often find themselves. as a result, thats the area most explored on their debut album, phantom, which conjures up exactly the sort of adjectives you should imagine given its title.

fried tofu exists to bring some soulful sounds back into the mix. they have a militant approach to their output, selecting only the finest source material, and sympathetically reducing the ingredients to their raw, dancefloor friendly essence celebrating the often superior production of the 70s and 80s and avoiding the loudness wars which has seen club music recently distilled into an overcompressed and lifeless mass. far too many words have been wasted in the average release info sheet. so lets keep it short and let the music speak for itself.

the release of the fourth studio album from revered production duo booka shade last year was greeted with widespread praise from fans and press . imbued with not only an uncanny understanding of the dancefloor, but a sense of true musicianship, >more!< transcends contemporary club music, placing itself amongst a lineage of classic records. following the great success of previous single >regenerate<, the fourth and final single to be taken from the album is the scaramanga remix ep. one of the albums standout tracks, scramanga is reinvented by the duo themelves, as well an impressive host of remixers who twist and contort it into myriad shapes, each harnessing different facets of the original and shining a new light on them with their new visions. booka shade take on >scaramanga< themselves with their >manga mix<, re-appropriating the poignant and hypnotic foundations of the original to craft a nuanced and uplifting dancefloor hit. carried forward by the symbiotic interplay of the drums and bass, rhythmic chord progressions surge through the tracks core, unfurling beautifully. the vinyl package also features versions from uk-based producer reset robot and italian wunderkind dusty kid. reset robot pierces the vocal film with filtered synth stabs, giving the track an urgent propulsion which is bouyed by the swelling bass, while dusty kid strips away the layers to reveal a melancholic core, stretching it out over the ebb and flow of its nine minute duration

after ellen alliens album >dust< kicked up a lot of the same in 2010, it was only a matter of time until the right remixers for the album were found. no less than the creme de la creme of today s house scene was allowed to have their way with these tracks. and the results are more than fitting. although we have already burned a full-length cd containing all of the remixes they created, we are not planning on leaving the vinyl-loving faction (or whats left of them) out in the cold either. this 12 inch features three powerful club tracks from three outstanding remixers. each unrivalled in their own space.

comes in clear vinyl. with over 30 releases behind and over a decade of running his own label, jacek sienkiewicz persistently followed his very own path, creating music that very soon began to be impossible to define. friendly, but not fraternizing with everyone and his family, modest, but stubborn only in a positive way, jacek is an individual with clear, personal vision and an unorthodox approach to music - light years away from the hectic, utilitarian ethos of club-derived electronic beats. >on the road ep< is the preliminary 12inch for the homonymus album which is another collaboration with cocoon. the cycle is now completed with one of the most experimental albums to appear on sven väths label to date. this record is not easy and is definitely demanding attention - but its also rewarding like no other. new sounds, voices and brilliantly clever arrangement patterns are revealed with each new listen. its not detroit nor santiago, not sheffield nor berlin, its not even the sound of jaceks home town of warsaw - this is the real music of the spheres.

after a furious appearance on cocoon komaton now joins the pro-tez family. >sweet princess< is a bass-bin filling, dance-floor destroying track from the hottest austrian export since arnold schwarzenegger. the a-side has the original version that deeply pulsates through some lonely piano with noise fractals and druggy vocals. it creates subtle sounds building throughout with percussion to excite. a2 follows with a sublime aural dub version by bvoice & khz. on the flip side scsi-9s remix has the power to fill the room with sound in a way that only pro-tez releases do. a must-have!

sasha carassi is back on his phobiq imprint with the fiberboard ep!with synths sounding like liquid tension, the original mix is a journey through tough beats and frantic electronics. the mighty slam are in charge of the first remix and they take the dark and dirty route, stripping the original down and adding some bleakness of their own, only to surprise us with an old school-sounding breakdown. the acid mix is slightly more rolling, featuring snappy drums and pulsating percussion, which takes us to the fourth track of the ep closing up is tom laws, who has been making his own unmistakable noise as of late. utilizing simple,yet solid drums he offers us a clearer picture of the tense synths while maintaining the vibe of the original.

if the eyes would be the mirror of the soul we could easily know others. but that may be not true so this is the aim of giorgio gigli and obtanes >the incredible tale of secret journey through your eyes<: penetrate your eyes and reach your soul and subconsce until we know your truth. psychoanalytic claims this time for zooloft, opening with an upbuilding, dramatic techno anthem, telling us of a true love on the hills. on the other side, geophones master mike parker delivers a pulsating and acidic techno driver where heart impulses are generated by a disturbed soul, creating spasms and panic feelings. the ep get closed by a strongly romantic drone track that tells us love is still the only way-out.

the eighth edition of cocoon recordings 10inch series leads us to berlin, where martin müller and daniel stroeter are working under the alias youandme as djs, label managers and producers for labels such as rotary cocktail, 2020vision and compost for more than 15 years now. >raw” is the ultimate soundtrack for the very special acoustic comprehension both musicians have in setting an absolute imperative on the dancefloor by constantly rising noise levels, but without ever neglecting the funk. living in berlin for only a short time, 23-year-old ilario alicante from tuscany / italy has made his appearance by releasing records for cécille, break new soil or sci+tec over the last three years, especially >vacaciones en chile< was an essential part of the club summer 2008. >balance< purifies modern house music down to its essences, using a 2-minute break with a central organ theme to keep your synapses tightly clenched before a massive bass kick unlocks the tension. just a perfect acoustic devotement to the balance of the raw.

berghain resident norman nodge offers up his first full ep for ostgut ton with three contemplative tracks. expanding and contracting with countless subtleties and enriched with bold artistic license. >the happenstance< is an enthused explorations into the many musical zones existing outside of techno. a warm and fresh embodiment of 80s wave electronica - like a classic carpenter score - only a few elements are needed for his narrative to shine. the impression of distant melodies exist in purposefully excluded moments of rest, where nodge uses restrain rather than release to interact with our very perception of the music. a fuller club cut, >body to body< floats into spacious, acidic zones. with the impression of sinking into a disorientating, resonating industrial space, this snaking and hypnotic exercise takes us in a very different yet equally rewarding direction to its sweeter a-side cousin. an ornate exercise in reduction and challenging timing, >breakdown< is a slow and measured display of nodges unique synthesised visions. this short exploration piece is a brave and gritty suggestion of whats to come next from this talented producer

olm029 - layo & bushwacka! - double a side summer gone/what do you say now layo and bushwacka! spent most of last year recording, the first offering from this period came at the end of last year with their endangered ep on plus 8. we now present their first release on their own label in eleven months. summer gone is a groove that starts on an up that slowly breaks down and brings in sounds, voices, rhythm and then kicks back with a really strong vocal and groove. what do you say now hits from the moment it begins with a stripped down sound and dub vocal and then slams with strong percussion and then back to the groove. totally tested out by layo & bushwacka! but supported big by the only two other djs with copies, richie hawtin and laurent garnier.

though there is something refreshing and original about the afronauts, their music could be described as somewhere in between the heavy afrobeat of fela kuti and the ethio-jazz of mulatu astatke. this debut 12 inch single combines all these elements, >journey through time< having a hypnotic, spiritual feel, whilst the b side >kibo< is totally exclusive to this 12 inch single, and is an upbeat positive groove, both tracks only hinting at the delights the forthcoming album flight of the ancients (fsrcd/lp085) will contain.

extremely welcome reissue of this super dope and super rare slamming early 80s boogie classic. coming out of chicago in 1983 on the tiny label full scope, this was the only release for both the label and the band but what a release!! heavily synth-laden, echoing cowbells, tight crisp percussion, superb bass - this is a fantastic example of 80s funk at its absolute best and deserves all the accolades it gets. get a copy while you can.

ltd red coloured !! inneractive music brings you the second in its highly limited vinyl-only series from spirit. >disconnected< goes on a deep journey through revolving synths and striding subs before reaching its nervous climax, while >clak< goes a stage further through glitching rhythms and cavernous tones, riding underneath an echoing dubbed-out soundscape. this is music to listen as well as groove to.
