its not easy making jams that really work the crowd just as well in bristol as in berlin. nor any other city for that matter. its those crossover artists that really stand out for us with tunes that do so much more than just ride the wave of whats hot. enter the organ grinder and his sick 3track ep for heist.

busking really is next-level in berlin, with the acoustic guitar replaced by the laptop, drum machine and minimoog, all powered by a car battery. it was this thrown together setup that first introduced the world to skinnerbox as iftah gabbai and olaf hilgenfeld took their leftfield, jazzy attitude and improvised genre-bridging music to the streets of berlin for impromptu jam sessions. it wasnt long before skinnerbox were rocking the floors of ritter butzke and wilde renate and getting their music pressed to the black gold was surely the next step...

madteos return to morphine. really expanding his electronic pallet for this one and going into some heady experimental realm

using rolling percussion and a thumping kick, primo really is unbeatable! luigi uses synth stabs that add character and finesse to this outstanding piece of music. hypnotizek rounds off the ep being more upfront about where its going. this cheeky, groove based track will warm up a dance floor quickly and get people in the mood for a real party!

i believe uses dubby drums and an infectious vocal to really tear things apart before dropping into a melodic synth section that will make anyone move. tantras melodic groove synths help this early morning track really come into its own before the main melodic section, accompanied by strings, will take any clubber to their own dimension

disco deviance continue to unearth those secret dj weapons that will really set your dance floor on fire. for this latest edition they invite youthful crate diggers shmlss from the vibrant amsterdam scene to deliver two cut-up gems of the very highest order. both tracks are lovingly edited and beautifully re-mastered. enjoy the music!

carmen villain got great reviews for her debut full-length album sleeper that was released on smalltown supersound in april. this is the second 12 inch from that album (the first featured single *lifeissin* as well as a prins thomas remix), and it is really a smorgasbord for fans of electronic music with long, psychedelic and epic remixes from optimo, peaking lights as well as norwegian disco legend bjorn torske.

former world unknown and magic feet contributor kalidasa steps up for duty on the tusk wax label. usual rules apply: strictly limited 180g 12 inch vinyl, hand stamped, individually numbered, no digital. kalidasa reveals himself to be on a par with president of chug prins thomas across the four sprawling slabs of psychedelic electronic disco here. hard to choose one track over another but the >spectrum of love mix< of molly cules really hits the spot.

concerns ltd is a label run by kalter ende from spain, where there is room for everything related to techno, industrial, dark and experimental music and musicians that really express quality arround the world. on first reference features two original tracks by kalter ende and two remixes

i came across j.cs music through the argentine label greener records on which he released the m-theory ep in early 2013. to this day, this 12inch has not left our record bag! i really like how j.c naturally blends a house feeling and groove with a techno vibe. in 2012, j.c started the ahd label together with his friend damian schwartz, releasing records from the likes of fred p, dj f, marcos cabral and epiphany. he also recently released a split ep with new york producer fred p on soul people music, as well as set the first release of his own label j.c records, which came out last month. i am very pleased to release his new record on deeply rooted.

really cool pack from pushing red, feat. superb uk bass / techno tracks from asc, consequence & martsman.

die uk-presse feiert sie bereits! heisser pop meets r&b meets indie-ding: rihanna meets the knife meets m83.

detroit master of technosoul eddie fowlkes shows us that he can still surprise us with his original beats. influenced by soul music, in love with dance music, this powerful track is a perfect combination of his inspirations. and it really makes you want to dance and feel the music go into your ears until *something e special* gets stuck in your head for good. bringing you catchy lyrics, vibrant beats and a great kick. who else than the legendary eddie fowlkes can declare war on dance music? well, not me. the only thing to do is to follow the hypnotizing beats and sounds of this track and let our bodies go crazy. and when the backbeats hit us, it transports us to a new level where we definitely join mr fowlkes on his trip to become his allies.

the sound of the autumn is a really minimalistic techno sound from paul sim. his sound is real berlin sound. he is one of the first artists of delude records. his experimental and minimal techno is just faboulas. so here comes the new and first vinyl release drake with 3 big driving minimal techno tracks.

young turks are set to release another great ep in 2013, joining fka twigs, sampha and koreless is spanish producer pional.
some may know pional as the john talabot collaborator responsible for stand tracks *destiny* and *so will be now* from his critically acclaimed *fin* album - an album frequently ranked as one of the best electronic records of 2012. his invisible/amenaza ep brings the groove and audio-perfectionism of these collaborations but adds an unsettling sense of paranoia which brings the music depth and tension - *invisible amenaza* translates as invisible threat. pionals influences arent really worn on his sleeve, but the forward thinking producer adds his influences of the zombies, roy ayres, and the police into a sound that manages to work on the dancefloor as well as the headphones.

one of the most memorable releases in grid recordings illustrious back catalogue, mutated forms *wastegash* has become an anthem - laying waste to dancefloors with its unique drumstep beat.
now one of the tunes that really helped put mutated forms on the map gets two very different but equally high quality remixes from d&b maestros the upbeats and dubstep don subzeed.
support from friction, skream & benga, caspa, andy c, s.p.y, the upbeats, noisia, crissy criss, ed rush & optical and more!

hitsafe are a duo of established producers operating under an enigmatic moniker. nothing new, you might say, and that is true. the music is so outstanding and unusual though, that in this case this approach really does make sense. serious jaw-work is funk in its purest form. and we mean real funk! wonder how many djs will have the guts and abilities to play this one out…to round this release up, we asked lopazz and casio casino for a remix and these guys came up with two! both are so good, we couldnt make a choice. so here we go with both of them on this release. the jack remix on a2 is a functional tech housy Überhit, suitable for all peaktime house floors, the jane remix on the b-side is a moodymanesque version with a strong ludicruous tendency, that has all necessary qualities to become a timeless epic. massive!

mike gill who has already featured on roots for bloom teams up with taymor zadeh to bring us the coppin a feel ep featuring a john dimas remix. the a side *coppin a feel* brings us hard hitting groove with a hypnotic vocal line carrying the track. loose percussion and bold tom drums really cement this to work on any dance floor. the b side cut *the message* is a more rolling groove with a strong rhodes line that features later on really making the track evolve. john dimas takes *the message* and takes the atmosphere up a notch, with slick cut up vocals. this one will work in the early hours.

its been a while since weve heard a jam as bruising as nonsense. titles in techno often dont tell you much, and wed go as far as to say this badboy is really more no-nonsense.

*gently down your stream* von the four mints markiert einen kreativen höhepunkt innerhalb der columbus, ohio, soul-szene, an der verbindungsstelle zwischen den 60er und 70er jahren. the four mints waren eine der einflussreichsten lokalen gruppen ihrer Ära - und mit unterstützung von columbus doyen und capsoul hoflieferanten bill moss - unter den wenigen, die ein full length album veröffentlichten. die liste der gastmusiker liest sich wie das line-up einer midwest supergroup, mit überraschenden auftritten des in indianapolis beheimateten vibraphonisten billy wooten und schlagzeuger bobby allen von den fabulous originals aus dayton, ohio.

after take 1 comes take 2, it sometimes really is that simple. together with the pre-take that came out before the summer this third volume in wphs our beat is still new project completes the 12 tracks that form the album. more members of the core wph family are on board here, but we also welcome some newcomers to the label.

dva comes with a four tracker, including a dj rashad remix, which works really expressively within a tight format of stabbing melodies and swirling psychedelic atmosphere.

basic fingers release no. 15 is patrice larrar aka reverend ps blisteringly good reworks of two very familiar voices. if this is not soul & disco seduction of the highest order we really do not know what to say. truly spellbounding stuff.

we are really happy to finally announce the release of the 7th record as the next in the series of full eps. dustins debut record comes as a result of nearly two years work between artist and label to get the perfect tracks for this full release and we feel it has been well worth the wait.
each record comes with an exclusive 24 inch square poster of the artwork for the release, designed by hani abusamra, which forms the second in the series of collectable nixwax posters that now accompany each nixwax ep.
the lead track was first tested out in the boiler room by nixwax boss, rob amboule and received a fantastic reception, with online fans and audience alike lusting after that growling bassline.
full support comes from some of the leading names in deep underground house at the moment, including rossko fuse, casino times and many more, as well as all the nixwax artists and ojsmooths mum. we have every confidence in this record and look forward to seeing it get the reception it deserves.

after being released digitally only and really great support throughout all floors, tengue rec. decided to bring this disco-influenced bass driven house floor tool to all vinyl lovers and djs as well. so decide it yourself, pick it up and try it out!

after the excellent reception of the first instalment, ander-trax is back yet again with more supremely crafted tracks from label head and all round gentleman alex-ander. nobody really expected such talent to emanate from coatbridge, did they? then again, wasnt the fella responsible for that blueboy *remember me* thing from coatbridge? maybe that was airdrie.

samuli kemppi played live twice at suicide circus, and since his energetic sound really fit well with our club, we started talking to each other about a release on our dark series imprint. so here we go now, after releases on labels such as prologue, mote evolver and perc trax, samuli kemppi now is ready to rock your boat with three tracks on our label, which define a very particular sound of their own. last day on earth brings samulis apocalyptic vision to the dancefloors. dark hisses, well scaped spaces and a hookline with the pull of a spacecraft make up for a track that with no doubt will be one of the techno anthems of the next months. a killer of a track! on the b-side spacing has similar sound aesthetics as last day on earth, but comes along more playful whereas calling approaches the apocalyptic theme from a very different angle. bleepy synths over a banging beat let you think of laser shots in the dark, haunting and scary.

principal records follow up the superb debut from s & m with the m from that partnership (that man monkz) alongside the mysterious mr. vasir. as before it is the finest, roughed up soulful house which could just as easily have emerged from detroit as sheffield. mr moncrieff is going from strength to strength! fellow steel city heavy-hitter and exciting new talent squarehead handles the remix, turning in a rough and ready club workout that really hits home.
pressing on white coloured 10 inch vinyl.

i first met leon vynehall in berlin before a gig at the amazing about_blank. we had a fun conversation and he played a really good set that night. much later i realized i had been playing one of his tracks (total s) for ages! we stayed in touch and i asked if i could hear some of his new music. he sent me five tracks and i signed four, that is a pretty good score if you ask me! smart and conscious about his music and his output, i think this ep is really only the beginning for leon vynehall. i am glad i am able to give it a platform and share these amazing tracks with you. also special props to d&m for doing a great mastering job on these. - martyn

the last 12 inch in the invisible sunrise remix series and to say they have saved the best until last would be unfair on all the other amazing remixes but this really is a doozy. quiet village do what they do best - an exceedingly epic 13 minute tropical jungle chugger that transcends time and space to take you on a trip you are never going to forget. without a doubt one of the best things we have heard from qv in quite some time. on the flip the advisory circle provide what is perhaps the most beautiful remix - melodic, inventive and deeply lush. an anthemic come down for those moments when you need a big audio hug. simply gorgeous. lastly seahawks leave us with an unreleased mix of crystal beach which sounds like george benson tripping his nuts off on a beach in hawaii at 5am….languid jazz guitar, slo mo beats, the sound of the waves and some deep electronics ... what more could you want? seahawks at their finest and one more reason this is an essential purchase. swim on forever.

dood, the second single from claude vonstrokes forthcoming album, urban animal. dood is inherently dirtybird and the one youve been waiting for if you were expecting something nasty from the project. the heart-squeezing booty-bass-line smacks instantly, while the rumbling drawl of the stoned vocal perfectly encapsulates vonstrokes witty spirit. the track is an homage to the time claude spent in los angeles during the production of the album and really captures the fun, dark edge of that sprawaling so-cal metropolis.

1984 bay area boogie funk holy grail reissued for the first time. prince-infused vocal stylings with over-the-top drum programming and unique synthesizer work. a true masterpiece of self-released 80s funk

we first discovered young glasweigian talent barrientos in 2012 via the always on point synthglasgow.com blog. his debut mix for them effortly mixed tracks from atjazz and matthew styles to loco dice, vince watson and steve rschmad and took the listener from the early bounce as the club doors open right through to hands-in-the air madness of a packed dancefloor. we loved it. he alsoreleased the good-time, sun-soaked sky ep (for free via soundcloud) around the same time and the quality of both his music and production really stood out from the crowd.

the most people know his snork enterprises releases under his alias laufmasche, the *deep lay e.p.*, the *foreign funk* release or the *talk like a fool* 12 inch. he also hit the streets with his tracks for relax2000 records or hamburg based eminor, and played dj or live sets from frankfurt, kassel, berlin, hamburg all over germany or also up to peking which was really a special experience for him. now he is back on snork enterprises, the first time with his alter ego samuel fach! get freaked!

describing mathias & marco (aka mule) is quite easy, these two freaky guys simply love what they do! in a world of selfmade cookies, glitter and confetti we only add a sixpack of beer, cool beats and the crazy party has already been started! well, life could be as simple as that when you just open your mind for a smile. with jeahmon!005 we represent this attitude to life and also say hello to >mr. & mrs. q< with their veeerryy warm re-edit on b1. love is in the air! so jeahmon! records really misses no sunshine this summer...

the next release on discovery recordings comes from catamaran, a young nyc based producer whos been coming to the parties and feeling the vibe. he sent us some really tite demos and we got in the studio to make them titer. the tracks are infused with the life of the city - from jackin house to lush rhodes grooves. we all love fort romeau, so we had him do a remix that takes the sound across the pond. 500 copies, hand stamped, vinyl only.

the summer might be almost over, but groovetraxxs is just getting started with an impressive vinyl debut. label boss le babar teams up with fellow belgian pat lezizmo for a delightful piece of underground house music that sets the groove and gets you going on the dance floor. deep basslines, fresh drums and a simple melody are some of the ingredients to *another love*, but it is that oh so special vocal hook that really sets the mood. on the flip, two remixes complete the already-impressive 12 inch. golf clap give the track a more laidback-vibe with their trademark classy smoothness, while scott diaz turns it into a never ending pumping beast, perfect for those peak time moments. this is a release you cant afford to miss!

ontology is the beginning of reality. pulsing rhythms as categories of being are acting like entities in a dusty void. sparkles of light underlines the times of creation, where nothing existed before. since nothing really existed for the human being, silence was full of noises.pulsation as the archaic form of life.
the ontology remix is made by bruno sacco, perfectly in line with coals original. a vision in a techno rough structure, with more bpm. the remix doesnt alter the original but approach it from another point of view. a vision in perfect parisian techno style.

la fleur is a dj in the ascendant. now a resident dj at watergate in berlin (and with a brand new ep for their label ready to drop - more on that in minute!) she has balanced her craft and her electronic music production with precision and flair: all of this is the result of hard work and a constant stream of quality gigs across the world. for the uninitiated, la fleur took her first forays into the studio in 2008, with her remix of david ekenbaecks nairu on trunkfunk records but it was her solo debut, the flowerhead ep, for her own power plant label, which really rocketed her into charts and record boxes worldwide.

tech house in the spotlight for this new jett vinyl! im really glad to welcome some of my favorite producers on the label:marco fender(lordag, supdub), felipe venegas (cadenza, drumma), andre butano (8bit, brise, melisma), philippe liard (drumma, jett) and david herrero

we have got a stunning debut ep for cellaa music. horatio will release his singing in the rain end of july and we are really happy and excited to unleash his sound into the world

limited vinyl reissue for highly sought-after 1976 lp disco madness from milton hamilton crystalized.

special remarks: 1st pressing of 500 copies in limited embossed sleeve & 180g vinyl.tripmastaz explores beyond the definitions of min and max and loops our minds attention back onto throbbing bass & shuffled percussion that remind us how close house & techno really are.

sam walton is a 22 year old producer from manchester who came to hyperdub after feeding them demo tracks, and started off in 2011 with the *walton ep*, the first of three eps for the label. since then he has honed and developed his music into *beyond*, finding a really fresh and subtle intersection between music that doesnt seem to naturally fit together, old eski grime, funky and detroit house and techno but with smudged edges and a colourful industrial sound palette that gives a real richness to his productions.

we got a remix pack for the vita (infinity) project on a nice collectable limited transparent blue, smokey marbled vinyl 10. remixes are done by non other then heinrich mueller, ovatow and versalife as hexagon. also included on here is the beautiful and really deep vita original the ending that will be exclusive for this release. check em out. enjoy the cold summer or whatever..

by now you have probably seen or heard about the oscar winning documentary *searching for sugar man*, if not, we strongly suggest you to… it really moved us. ditongo did a tribute edit of rodriguez song *climb upon my music*. be careful, this is quite special!

after their collaboration at last years unsound festival, there were rumours about a recorded ep from interplanetary prophets a.k.a. jamal moss (hieroglyphic being) and daniel martin mccormick (ital). the good news is they were true. these tracks are the fruits of studio jams earlier this year, edited down into three long, dense pieces. and the coupling really works, interplanetary prophets feels and sounds like a brand new entity.

ron costas brand new ep for trapez features the tracks >bazis puzzle< and >fraaz<, which show his liking for the borderline of house and techno. >bazis puzzle< is a bassline heavy groover that swoons with its kinetic catchiness and polyrhythmic drumming. it is really the amazing sound design, funky and ear catching leads, coupled with sophisticated arrangement that make it a soulful experience for dj and clubbers. >fraaz< is a mesmerizing polyrhythmic dj track, a rhythm rocker, with a fantastic stop and go feeling, a track that constantly builds up tension and releases it in its sensual breaks.
