under a permanent commitment of self-challenge and a continuous attitude of nonconformity against the banal, damaskin presents two of his multiple faces under a single pack. bucolic and grotesque tendencies meet aggressiveness in order to melt in a disparity conversation within the unconventional. framed as a story, * propaganda* and *entrance* define the protocol of a progressive formalism only interrupted by the massiveness of the overwhelmed * ancient communications* and *catacomb*

ltd cocoon box , incl 6 x 12 inch + full c d album
it is almost hard to believe and we are looking for that wormwhole that brought us here as we are already looking at the arrival of compilation number * o *. and we rather do not start thinking about the endless wordplays we could do with the * story of o*, however we have to admit that this special * o-edition* comes with an extra portion of deepness, soul and yes, even sex

both tracks the story of house and the visitor can be shortly described as once old-school and back again ! impressive storytelling vocals go perfectly together with catchy, minimal styled tech house beats. under the name of chicago is god the release combines the two great originals with excellent remixes by carlos sánchez (poker flat recordings, 8bit) and die vogelperspektive (brise records, get physical music)!

klangscheiben records is proud to present its frst vinyl release of a brand new series, a various artists compilation entitled „the fable“. while some tales start with “once upon a time“, this one begins with the candid rhythms and guileless synergy of german duo metaboman and large m’s “taverne master”. canadian minimal masterminds akufen and pheek each provide their own input: the former’s weaving synth-driven jazzy storylines, the latter’s a trip through fragmented instrumentals and a min-tech narrative. klangscheiben label boss demas shows his fangs with a brooding slow burner permeated by skin-crawling microsounds, a flow picked up by montreal producer magnanime’s “psychomagic master”. ark’s parable is awash with echoing vocal snippets and an addictive piano riff, melting into the strange sound of tom ellis, whose “shotgun” is at once stripped back and full of life. tomas jirku wraps up the release with “one monkey”, a glitchy, eccentric minimal piece that is as unpredictable as you’d expect from the vancouver producer. the moral of the story? listen and fnd out.

long-time techno protagonist and figure mainstay johannes heil returns with a new 4-track package under his cryptik pseudonym. continuing the focus on a more leftfield, experimental sound, cryptik emerses the listener into a soundtrack world of rich sound, depth of field and versatile, changeable moods. by no means a simple club record, all four tracks offer subtle and rich musical content, each telling a story with beautiful melancholic melodies and rushes of endorphins. from elongated 10 minute journeys into the more reflective zones of heils techno world, snaking and building, showing off all the skills he collected over his 20 years-plus career at the top of his artform, crypik is a dance on the senses. from the cinematic elegance of >the gate<, or the bleep-laden epic of >radiance<, to the post-house piano led drama of >messenger< or the heavyweight synth swarms of >belief<, the ep is full of passion and life, capturing truly magic moments.

after the first success story dubaptism are returning with their second vinyl release. this time with 3 original tracks that covers a wider range of techno. from dubby atmospheres to harder techno aesthetics. their good friend echonomist (rotary cocktail, high strings) is on the remix duty for this one and he managed to do a great job by setting extra groove and dancefloor energy to the original track. comes in a blue/green smokey marbled vinyl in limited numbers so hurry up!

an ep done by ukrainian producer -myztical- accompanied by paul birken remix. experimenting in offbeat techno as well as delivering straightforward techno bangers, this ep should fit well in every techno heads vinyl collection. inspired by frank herbert’s “dune” universe and it’s derivatives, this is fantasy about space and interstellar travels, fame and power, love and treachery, yet another untold story - thousand years ahead in very distant future, but pretty much inspired by our own life itself.

markantonio can rightly be described as one of italys true techno titans, working tirelessly as he has since the late nineties to bring the tougher side electronic music into the light. recording for labels such as marco carolas design music, billy nastys tortured records and umeks recycled loops, markantonio has spent the last 16 years on the cutting edge of quality techno but it was with the launch of his analytic trail imprint in 2001 that he perhaps truly came into his own.

arguably all but the most dedicated fans will have long forgotten most significant beat, a post industrial early 90s techno project from former clock dva man maurizio martinucci and esplendor geonetrico s saverio evangelista. this surprise vinyl compilation tells the story of their previously cd-only late 90s work, throwing in a previously unheard workout, the angular rhythms and sheffield bleeps of geometric state for good measure. for the most part, the material has aged remarkably well, and sits somewhere between the forthright madness of autechre, the spacey techno of detroit-via-frankfurt (see amy tekno) and the buzzing intensity of surgeon.

after previous releases on hija de colombia, el nino andres (here credited as el nino only) debuts on new vinyl label called jackie brown. jackie brown aims to release series of mini lps, providing conceptual music stories, while at the same time not neglecting the main consequence of good house music – dance groove. house music infected with funk, soul and boogie grooves – we are not inventing nothing new, we’ve been inspired by many labels that came before. el nino delivers first story on our label, and in our humble opinion shows the very best side of house music with a groove and soul. though not all tracks are lengthy and floor ready, they make a great ensemble on “no boogie nights”, while tracks like “odds against tomorrow”, “thieves in the night” and “something ain’t right” work great on their own. everything is rounded up with amazing artwork from maximilian moser.

koos ludwig aka ion ludwig is a new part of the eklo team, the dutch guy is a close aide to the label since the beginning. he finally offered a wonderful two tracker to the eklo collection, full of mystery and grooves. ten canoes is a shamanic dub house trip, with futuristic and roots vibes, with a real story in it. on the flip, the realm is a house linn drum groover with an hypnotic bassline and an outstanding vocal. this ep is a vinyl-only release.

tzinah on black continues its odyssey with a second installment, delivering on wax the sounds of - an emblematic artist for tzinah - dani casarano, an enigmatic whiz kid - silat beksi and a fresh & promising member to our crew - derek. on the a1 side, setnup embodies casaranos adventures through the hypnotic sound of minimal. stretching from the lowest frequencies all the way to an uplifting atmosphere, we have got a serious case of massive basslines and heavy beats. the b-side continues the story with >its all about feeling<, that displays a trademark arrangement of silat beksi, taking us on an euphoric trip with his percussion-rich signature sound. and because we love an authentic rhythm, derek brings on the b2 a crystal-clear ambience with his solid drums from >aphe soft<, as an after-hour mood and a pinch of minimal romanian sound was all that we needed to complete this release. so, make room in your bag for our second vinyl-only tzinah on black release! from tzinah, with love

what if you never sleep? sally rodgers (a man called adam) has written these few words, that anyone can imagine his own night story on. the 2 french boys patrick vidal (marie et les garçons) and laurent caligaris (working withterrence parker, enola, scan x) get the balance rigth for a nigth walking closed to art dep. iconic honey dijon (classic, ny) delivers a pure old school chicagos style remix as oskar offermann (white/hardmoon, berlin) goes step by step into a beautifull rythmic, melodic, hypnotic remix.

yoruba records is happy to release this dance floor ready ep by label head osunlade. stretching across a range of styles theres something for everyone in this release, an absolute must for every djs bag. the ep opens up with the title track, what pho. a relaxing jam driven by a powerful sounding grand piano and complimented by shakers, the added backing percussion and subtle bird chirps lend well to the creation of this tracks rainforest-esque mystique. next up is the deep, almost jazzy track – jus anuda groove. the rolling bass line and four to the floor beat will get you moving – and keep you there - as osunlade reminds us that this is just another groove. opening up the b-side is schavanna, a funky, guitar-driven track whose pulsating bass line and friendly but muffled vocals will keep people moving on the floor. finally, the ep closes with the waiting game, a hypnotic, tribal-learning track with a foot-stomping beat, colored with the seductive vocals of rainy payne, its hard to tell which is more captivating, the groove itself or the story line she unfolds.

celebrating the 30th anniversary of paul hardcastles iconic song *19* with a double vinyl full of remixes.

joe goddard just had to knock on that door. the wall of his recording studio had been pulsating with original analogue house jams for too long, dry ice practically sifting through the vents. behind that door was gentleman george t, and before long the two heads were nodding to obscure dat edits and 4th hand soul samples as george plundered a wealth of forgotten late 90s dats from of a box in the corner. true story. and now those dat edits, lovingly un-restored, are available for the first time on greco-roman, the record label, party and artist collective of whom hot chip s joe goddard is a founding member.

scuba s musical biography has been a story of constant change. over the past eleven years, his music has zigzagged through bass, techno and house, at times dark and contemplative, at others bright and anthemic. a look at his discography bears out this creative restlessness: from the shadowy rhythms of a mutual antipathy and triangulation, through the soaring melodies of personality and the cardinal -adrenalin- ep. claustrophobia is more than just the next phase in this development—it s a culmination of everything that s come so far. as its name implies, the record is tense and inward-looking, but it s also rich and dynamic, nimbly moving through a panorama of moods and styles. rhythms expand and contract from one song to the next, textural passages give way to shimmering strands of melody, found sounds and field recordings breathe life into ambient sketches. the album is modern and understated throughout, but also touched with something unrestrained: the exhilarating energy of classic rave.

james freud is not the deceased singer of the australian new wave band the models. james freud is not a young art-school dropout with an affinity for electronic music. james freud does not live in berlin - he seems to come out of the blue and it is hard to say whether his production is analogue or digital, whether it is sampled material or sound design. because of the strange maturity of his work the tracks seem to come from both the past and the future. thanks to the digging-qualities of dj good news (who runs the hamburg poem-label) a selection of james freuds oeuvre is now brought to light through the 12inch 5-track extended play - to cut a long story short: mental futurism is wise optimism.
