after a fabulous summer and a mind-blasting krake festival, killekill takes its next step and kicks off another new label called vanta series, which is destined for small series of 12-es with out-standing dancefloor tracks. the name derives from vantablack, a colour from nano technology, which is the blackest black and actually invisible. vanta therewith stands for the total emptiness and is the perfect name for a label which does not have a defined identity itself but is a platform for different series, which will all have a concept and aesthetic in itself. the first series is called -the end is near-. it consists of 4 releases and comes with an artwork by french artist elzo durt. every release will contain a small poster, all four posters put together become elzo durt s piece -les anges de l apocalypse-. first record is by dez williams, who also released on shipwrec and bass agenda recently. a-side acidbanger is a serious banger and has future acid classic written all over it. the b-side comes with two acid variations - one more stingy, one emotional and psychedelic - which show the potential of this outstanding producer. open your ears and put the needle on - here is some acid!

ltd 2016 repress - delusions of grandeur have had an exceptional couple of years since their inception in 2009 with fourteen vinyl 12s from a host of producers helping to put them at the top of the pile of underground labels making house music for discerning ears. it was only a matter of time before the label took the logical next-step into artist albums and here they are with the debut lp from 6th borough project entitled one night in the borough. its more than likely that youve come across 6th borough releases or edits on labels such as instruments of rapture, jisco or permanent vacation as well as having kick started the whole thing off here at delusions of grandeur with their release the soul part ii (under the aka craig smith & the revenge). its also more than likely youve been in some late night establishment whilst the revenge provided musical accompaniment on his record players seeing as he is one of the most in demand djs playing underground house and disco on the scene right now.

fresh off the heels of the success of their ‘waiting ground’ ep, the boys in black, frank & tony, are skating back onto the scene with another four track summer stomper, ‘under the jaguar sun’. the a-side starts things off with the titular track, a rollicking deep house number primed for sunset raves. a bouncing and lush bass line is the back bone of the track, as crisp hi-hats, distant, yearning pads, and shimmering bells propel dancers forward into eyes closed euphoria. things ramp up quickly into peak-time ecstasy on the breakaway edit of solo andata’s “a ballet of hands.” a whirling dervish of delicate music boxes, bowed guitars, delicate music boxes, and distant horns swirl around and weave in and out between a skipping drum pattern, pushing and pulling alongside a gruff and stuttering bass, perfect for those late night rooftop ventures.

ovum welcomes leftbank records co-boss dudley strangeways: a uk house and techno dj rooted with serious residency stripes at the legendary back to the future parties and appearances at the likes of boiler room. hot off the back of releases on stardub, little helpers and made of concrete comes his ovum debut, three tracks made constructed for one sole purpose… melting minds in the darkest of rooms. keep it clean is twistedly simple, a rump-busting roll in the drum department and paranormal pad leave space for a precision tuned tone that warps with the gravitas of a life support machine. sinewy, cold and deliciously disconcerting, dudley ensures funk and focus with delicately placed rhythmic elements and constant fluctuations. next we find ourselves breaking into an early 90s warehouse as transition whisks us on an acid trip with flurries of jack and a lean lead line that slithers through the ever-mutating drums and occasional fx hailstorms. devilishly futuristic and tailored for those deep long blends, the stripped back extensive nature of this guarantees mixing bliss. truly, tracks built by a dj, for djs. don t let this one slip…

birdsmakingmachine are back on track and continuing their series in style with bmm 007. kicking off things on a1, at 124 bpm, “the draft” is a joyful number that bursts with relentless energy while managing to fuse sharp metallic drum patterns with juggling ambient hooks. the more dancefloor-oriented track is nevertheless found on a2. as the title suggests, “area 52” is quite literally a journey through the unknown and mysterious, a metaphor for the deep minimal house amazon, a track that stands out with an extra subby bassline, swinging hihats and those ever-so-warm sequenced analog pads in the background. flip the record over and you find yourself with two slightly more industrial affairs, “the voice of kudha” on b1 offering a breakier alternative than it’s predecessors and “zagonity”, on b2, galloping its way to close off the record with shuffling vocal hits and an amalgamation of bouncing hats and snares.

we welcome spain s very own javi bora to the keep it zen roster. javi delivers his balanced deep and classy tech house signature sound for kizr007 which has been heard on releases for labels such as 2020 vision, defected, elrow music and phil weeks robsoul recordings. it is a true honour to showcase you this ep with returning kiz artists system2 and jacky providing remixes making this a real diverse heavyweight record. javi bora kicks things off with his no nonsense banger smashing up and then keeps on groovin into milf in the house. both tracks have already been smashed on space ibiza s dance floor where javi holds a residency. system2 let you into their musical mind as they take you on a trip twisting their way through smashing up in their usual yet unusual fashion. jacky finishes off the record with his remix for milf in the house in true jacky style. big, bold and straight up sexy. this is why he has become one of the most talked about producers in 2016. keep on groovin.

juan ramos lives on planet earth but channels voices from the aether. this is his first offering for the esp institute. on side a, last of the natives shows us just what we’re dealing with, a master manipulator of sound and consciousness. juan culls the toughest kick drums and thickest latex bass slaps from a deep burial in our psyche and peppers them with alien chants and fleeting electronic flutes—a combustible sense of spontaneity that may at first appear chaotic but after fully immersed in juan’s demented world, we find ourselves willfully under his control. on side b, enemy of enemy is friend also sets off from a disorienting place where a slow progression of acid, shakers and toms takes a good minute to allow us some footing around the groove. once settled into his sophisticated rhythm, juan opens the door to a glorious combination of chords, clanking guitars, shakers that scrub back and forth and the occasional smear of paranormal synth. we at the esp institute are enamored by juan’s seemingly infinite skill for crafting mood and extracting optimism from darkness, but seriously, what color speedotm should she wear this summer?

christian b & lavvy levan return with the second instalment of their sounds from the den series on friday fox recordings. this latest vinyl 4-tracker picks up where vol.1 left off and continues to explore the outer reaches of the house genre, kicking off with the massive weak from fatty mombassa which combines fatty s now trademark spoken word against a ferociously infectious disco influenced groove. south africa s rudi botha & miggza return with a looped-funk affair in the form of people come together . rob slac delves deep into the dark recesses of a tech-style groove with the deliciously sultry lonesome butterfly . the package is completed by the upfront sound of kieron ayres what must i do .

ep number four of this series of eight remastered tracks with remix-tributes to the techno legend christian morgenstern is here, and kicks off with d_funcs remix of steigreider on side a. creating a warm grayscale atmosphere, the track is carried by a heavy sub kick groove thats saturated with the modern industrial energy that proves kowalski’s skills as a techno craftsman. as a contrast, jeroen searchs remix of aces high on b1 is a more minimal interpretation, carried by a slowly developing beat and playing skillfully with the most recognisable elements of the original. the final track, a remastered version of morgensterns lydia to the edge of panic is a timeless classic, painting a morgenstern-typical distant and dream like landscape and opening up into a widescreen chord progression, with an epic build up.

shlomo opens the ep with a deep and droning, yet uptempo track. ben gibson continues on the a-side with a synth and tom-driven track, in which the main synth really draws you into the track. takaaki itoh is put on the b1 spot and continues the deep vibe the artists set on the a-side, yet in a more minimalistic way. his track keeps on evolving and growing ever more, while the track in it s core does not change that much. overall severity closes the ep off with a moody banger. this dance floor oriented track focuses on percussive elements and the drums a lot. this track is one of the last ones made by the late max_m, who formed overall severity together with wrong asessment, which makes this ep a little bit more special. four different artists, but a great sounding ep with four tracks that compliment each other really well!

after releasing a full length ambient album by mario hammer and the lonely robot in november, we now reales a vinyl 12- with two remixes and one original from the album. the ep kicks of with a rare remix of german producer duo extrawelt who have created a somewhat unusual hybrid of 2 of the album tracks. their remix connects mario hammer’s ambient music with their beat formula in a brilliant way. extrawelt s remix of -mono no aware / l esprit de l escalier- shows signs of a voyage since it starts off very quiet with sounds from mario hammer s original and then weaves in the accelerating techno beats and later electro beats they are so famous for.

“change the state of motion” sees fundamental interaction deliver 3 original tracks, “inertia”, “ruination” and “angular momentum”, and the ep is rounded off with a blistering remix of “inertia” by binny.
“inertia” is a track designed for the floor, with a tough, hypnotic synth line that gathers pace as the track progresses. binnys remix deconstructs the elements of the original, turning it into a more pounding, jacking affair.
“ruination” takes things deeper, the main synth filters in and out, with lush atmospheres and dubbed out percussion helping the track along. “angular momentum” takes things on a trippier route, a swinging synth line helped along with pulsating claps and powerful stabs.

the third release in this series opens up with fanon flowers remix of be good to me on the a-side, and has everything we love about fanons signature sound, an industrial rave-stomper that provides a heavy 909 beat topped with mercilessly propelling chicago-style claps. the b-side kicks off with henning baers remix of visco space saves the world a super trippy and minimal interpretation of the much more heavy original, which was a raw and gloomy industrial monster with a bold noize overload. its progression changes build up neatly but peak in an epic spiral break down that shatters the soul. b2 is a remastered version of herz aus stahl by the mastermind christian morgenstern himself, presenting an upfront, sinister electrofunk monster that attacks with waves of synth menace straight from its metallic robocop-heart.

henry street (named after brooklyn homeboy johnny’s neighbourhood) always had a ‘newyork’ vibe, and even when drawing its producers from further afield, the label encapsulated the city’s melting-pot of talent and raw, bristling energy... energy captured here, and exploding off these remasteredt racks like it’s 1999 all over again!so... dust off those dancing shoes, and get ready to feel the heat, it’s one more time for the henry street hustle!
