over two decades ago, roland leesker would play and produce with artists that are legends today. slaving away with ricardo villalobos in his living room, creating loops with john selway at new york s satellite basement, working as a light jockey for joe jam and marc spoon, cooking the heat together with cajmere and ata at the wild pitch club, or running various record shops around the globe. since then, he’s invested much of his time, knowledge, heart and soul into electronic music to further the scene and support the art. now, he’s returned to the studio with his production partner philipp maier also known as sante to bring you a new instant classic, ‘my warehouse’ in a way, you could say ‘my warehouse’ has been in the making for 25 years. in that time roland leesker has studied the music, gathering inspiration from the sounds, people and experiences along the way and putting them all together to create his perfect sound. ‘my warehouse’ is a bass-laden house killer, with intense kicks and a gritty, in-your-face bassline.

since 2010, jackie house aka jacob sperber has been driving the a&r side of the san francisco dance-music troupe running the hnytrx label and producing remixes with other members under the honey name. putting label duties on hold in 2013 sperber cocooned into his music studio, entering as a brave brunette and exiting as an ambitious blonde. * stydive * is jackie s debut to wax and has as much house-party in it as it does warehouse 4am. with a vocal sample nod to punk s past, * stydive* pogo dances to dusty and stuttering live/analog drum rhythms and skips along a rude and infectious bass-line. bound to find lovers of all persuasions for its dub-esque qualities, instantly recognizable hook, and open relationship with house music, this tune begged to have it s own side. that said, there is always room for some matrixxman who takes stydive to a strobe lit south of market darkroom in his remix on the b. spurting erotic lazers around a cavernous kick, this tune finishes off even the most experienced edger.

new to the stay underground it pays gang, the eighth release on the label comes from none other than octo octa! you know him from his prolific run on 100% silk, and more recently for his ep on gerd jansons running back label at the top of the year. the man from brooklyn serves up 4 slices of that u.s. experimental house sound we love so much. on the a side, we have two versions of octo octa’s melancholic title track, requiem for the body. both as good as the other, it’s gonna be split for a lot of listeners on which is better. while both versions share certain elements, the second plays down the long keys of the first versions in favour of some stabby chord patterns. either way, proper 4 a.m. business!on the flip, we get a bit more ethereal with times two (loose version). simple yet effective, this one has a lot of atmosphere with those delayed vocal cuts over that late 80s bassline. closing out the record is when home. this one is a bit of a stomper at first until it brings in the lighter synth elements halfway through. someone, somewhere will have an epiphany listening to this track. if its you reading this, send in the results on the back of a postcard. all in all, another killer release that feels straight at home in the stay underground it pays catalogue

the second edition of the rose records limited 10- series comes courtesy of junktion, whose releases on the likes of outplay and slow town didn t only sell out at breakneck speed but also established him as one of holland s biggest talents in discerning deephouse/disco circles. junktion does what he does best on this delightful little platter. the lolloping running for whatever on the a is as infectious as they come, with loads of clever samples arranged over classy rolling drums and a deep, rubbery bassline. flip over for pale blue dot, a slightly tougher, trippier uptempo workout with spaced out pads, big drums, crisp hats and massive synth stabs that should whip up a real frenzy in a packed club. killer pair of tunes from a producer that s very much on top of his game.

ben sims long running hardgroove imprint drops a new split release from ultramajic artist chambray and newcomer george tounisidis this september. the 12 inch a-side comprises two exclusive instrumental versions of cuts originally released on kompass in 2014 that show the german artists robust house leanings nicely while the flip side sees two similarly meaty house-informed techno cuts from george tounisidis. as always with hardgroove, this is a 12 inch of dancefloor weapons for the heads. enjoy!

* timber so* is definitely the melodic one with subtle sweeps and resonated percs running smoothly along a trippy voice. the warm bass will keep your feet warm.
* a fractured neck nock* is the dark one. synths are lurking behind the sick percussion. the guitar riff and a kids voice increase the mystery as the track progresses. this might seem dark and deep but its pumping as well.
released on vinyl only

ive been over and over track running orders, while taking into account the limitations of vinyl. it needs to be a loud cut as anything increasing the chances of this music being played in clubs is a priority. the major development is, i d really like the a side at 45rpm, as before. as well as the extra volume, granular psychosis is an exciting prospect to be able to play at both speeds as its so fast. with this track list below, we re exceeding the time slightly for what i ve been advised is the best 45rpm quality. however, as zattrday has such a limited frequency range, that can be cut to take a very small part of the vinyl. i will talk to, about all this, and ultimately go with his advice of the best way to do this on the day. but i can say it will almost definitely happen like one of the two options below

premiere bei riotvan! mit dieser ep erscheint erstmals material auf dem leipziger label, das nicht in dessen unmittelbarem einzugsgebiet ersonnen wurde. das hat natürlich noch lange nichts damit zu tun, dass es gerade in der stadt an heißem output mangeln würde. nein, diese fünf thomalla-nummern sind nur einfach zu gut, als das man sie irgendeinem anderen label hätte überlassen dürfen. sobald der name thomalla fällt, sollten sowieso augenblicklich sämtliche geschmacks-indikatoren alarm schlagen. man kennt den herren als knöpfchendreher im the/das live-ensemble sowie von seinen releases auf krakatau und running back und demnächst auch permanent vacation.

there are two things, that really set terre des pommes apart from all other labels with all their cool dj friends : a: no cool dj friends, b: the ceo himself aka saap really listens to all demos he receives, honestly.. to him running a label is all about fresh blood and unexpected new talents! even when it comes to remixers.. no wonder the lucky chaps that go by the beautiful name of schlango mango hit the jackpot when hiding a minidisc in saaps daily italian food delivery.. still chewing on spuma di pizza-schnitzel the boss called them up and made the deal.. schlango mango met gerd janson and shan at a lan party in the shire. they shared similar interests.. the rest is histology ..

he strode towards a long drink.
running in the gutter,

skin staring, stirring unbelief.
scarred metal faces

spitting blood.

finale sessions founder michael zucker steps into the limelight with his first full ep for the label in the five years it has been running. zucker has of course featured on a handful of split releases from finale but he doesn t waste any of the space afforded here with a quartet of superb and varied productions. leading the way, techno track his spirit bristles with life and percussive energy whilst inner city peace will likely raise some interested eyebrows in west london thanks to its killer broken beat programming. face down, zucker dips into his personal archives for an unreleased and rather crisp remix of introspective and jenifa mayanja hookup when the rain comes down whilst the wonderfully named spiritual graffiti ends the release on a high note

amazing pure & crafty techno !! decks tip!! 2018 repress

the rawest, diy gospel ever resurrected. the west side of chicago was just an annex of the deep rural south for gene autry cash and his flock of recent old dominion transplants looking to cut their fiery, unadorned sounds indelibly to plastic. his jade label absorbed those god-fearing artists: family bands with wailing kids and barely amateur groups sourced from local parishes, infused with reverberations of country and western and deep soul. glinting authenticity shines from every track like a diamond in the unpolished rough—each group completely convinced that salvation comes through song.

maintaining the focus firmly on the underground and keeping that no-frills party vibe running throughout their output, music is love keep things flowing at a steady pace with their 12th release. dedicated to continually curating original ideas, the premise behind mil012 is all about the label paying homage to their most prominent musical influences. leading the way behind the new concept entitled tribute, head-honcho oli furness teams up with one of his favourite producers - chicago house legend paul johnson - for a four track ep, with two tracks from either producer intended to highlight the impact of johnsons impact and influence as an artist.

title track joyride kicks things off with a straight up 909 beat, complete with scifi sweeps and classic wood block percussion, quickly working its way into an very subtle groove with every element working effectively to keep it fully funk laden. sideways completes the a side of the release and gets going right from the beginning. pumping percussion takes hold and hits the ground running before a perfectly weighted synth hook lashes over the top with henning playing with the synths lfo to creative effect. dust takes things down a notch as swirling pads drape themselves over a serious 909 beat. henning lets this one loop out, letting the subtle variations in the synths do the work as the 909 holds the beat solid and reminiscent of early berlin/detroit dub techno crossovers. mars attacks closes of the ep and does so in particularly fine fashion. a more broken beat affair this time from henning and he really works his machines into a sonic warfare of bass tones and tweaked out synths that sear through the crashing percussion workout.

nights are coming and going and faces appear and vanish, great plans are made and rarely held up to. while that is the mode that keeps the machine running, from time to time something greater can evolve out this fast paced spare time profession. that is to say, it is a great pleasure to smooth the way for our dear friend * kleintierschaukel* and his * blue elephant*. a rare species whose origins are found in * motomia* (a1), that odd place where sticky clocks tick faster than time passes. still all confusion is lost in the calm whispering of * juliette*(a2), a harmony of strange confidence. despite all its apparent harmlessness, it needs the soothing voice of our all beloved le- onie to let its vast figure withdraw to the rivers and show the gentle nature of this * unterwassermann* (b1). back in his element all notches are smoothed out and movements unite in a rythmic flow. this is not a documentary, this is the blue elephant: * tv ende* (b2).

uk techno stalwart steve bicknells lost recordings series must be one of the longest running in dance music, the lost and cosmic founder has been putting out previous unheard material from his early 90s heyday on and off since 2004. there are few surprises on this 10th edition, but plenty of slamming, no-holds-barred grooves. the hissing, spacey, cymbal-heavy track 3 is particularly trippy, while theres a gnarled, ragged intensity about the pulsating heaviness of track 1. arguably best of all, though - ambient interlude track 2 aside - is track 4, an eerie techno shuffler built around a wonky, off-key electric piano loop and fizzing percussion.

last few years have seen barac capturing the very soul of the romanian underground in a very productive yet very unreleased manner. few carefully selected tracks have been released while others are probably kept for the right moment. with his album on metereze running hot and a new label under his command barac is for sure the man of the hour. better yet, the man of the moment. for the first instalment of his new moment imprint he teams up with friend and fellow producer vincent iulian. these two go way back and they have a lot of history together. music wise they share the same passion for driving mysterious tech grooves and theory ep is all about that. in form is groovy and dark with a haunting synth accompanied by subtle xylophones. on the other side we take a dive in the atmospheric breaks grooves of in colour. uplifting and mysterious with the right amount of balls to keep you going.

san francisco-based dj/producer nick monaco has long been part of the soul clap family, releasing his first 12- on the label back in 2012. mating call, a double 12- set running at album length, is easily his most expansive release yet. it s typically eccentric, delivering a range of songs - featuring his own distinctive vocals - that blend numerous styles whilst retaining a loose, funky and altogether rather kaleidoscopic feel. it s rooted in balearic pop, but also touches on dub, deep house, boogie, dub disco and a strangely deep and contemporary take on the triple-beat rhythms of glam rock. it s hard to accurately describe, but is really rather good, certainly, it s one of soul clap s strongest releases of recent times.
