alex aq constructed “don’t break” and “shake it” as a reflection of the sounds heard at the club. pounding drums, rhythmic, scattered synths, white noise, and choice vocal snips that send you into a trance are the core characteristics of both tracks created by the cubanmeister.

last but not least, lpz’s own techno duo p. lopez & octavio take “shake it” and turn it into a techno monster consisting of heavy stabs and an undeniable groove.

limited copies.
chris moss acid returns to don t for a follow up to last year s the acid that ate bournemouth with 4 tracks of blistering proportions. the joker is a twisted and squelchy hard nosed house/techno hybrid that punches through a sound system, while pumped up mf nestles coyly between ghetto/booty and acid with a suggestive bassline ripping things apart. on the flip, more mayhem with dp acid which is as derranged as they come before the ep closes in magnificent style with elektra , electro s answer to bohemian rhapsody.

limited copies
legendary techno innovator neil landstrumm returns to the don’t label with 5 tracks of outside the box‚ dance floor pummelers, all boasting an unashamedly wild edge. these tracks have been doing the damage as a part of his live shows that he constantly tours around the world. with game changing albums and 12”s on tresor, planet mu and his own scandinavia, neil is one of the old skool who’s still here today evolving and mutating his sound, winning new fans and drawing influence from sheffield bleep, grime, old skool uk hardcore and almost every area of the uk’s rich electronic music heritage. neil still enjoys ruffling a few feathers and his latest release for don’t fits perfectly with the label’s uncompromising agenda “to release music by a whole host of un-likeminded producers that pushes further than the accepted norm-…

over the years of their creativity, nesmeyana have developed their own distinctive “horror-trash-synth-pop” style, occasionally blending it with elements of musique concrete and post industrial noises. notable russian media and critics defined it as “red disco”, which now not only refers to nesmeyana’s musical heritage but also to a blooming homonymous community residing on the russian facebook-alike social platform vk.com, currently consisting of nearly 10k music lovers and dedicated to lost soviet “cooperative disco” artifacts.
with their debut album &#1065,,,,,&#1072,,,,,&#1089,,,,, &#1090,,,,,&#1099,,,,, &#1085,,,,,&#1077,,,,, &#1079,,,,,&#1074,,,,,&#1086,,,,,&#1085,,,,,&#1080,,,,,&#1096,,,,,&#1100,,,,, (now you don’t call) nesmeyana begin a horror journey through the dark decades of 80’s and 90’s exposing the most troubled themes of soviet union’s “post-perestroika” period — premature deaths of aids and drug addiction, afghanistan war victims brought home in coffins, devastated industrial landscapes where often rape & murder takes place, this album tells us some unpleasant but quite realistic stories which may have indeed happened in the past.

it’s difficult to imagine the bunker new york without donato dozzy. the roster of artists who have played the party over the past decade-plus reads like a proper who’s who of modern techno and house, but if there s one artist in particular whose sound and vision has had an outsize impact on the bunker, both as a party and as a record label, it would be donato dozzy.

next up on hungarian hot wax we have jakobin & peletronic bringing the austrian heat! 3 tracks of sublime quality featuring 909 driven beats merged with acidic bass lines, deep warm pads & stabs topped with soulful vocal licks. brining extra fire is oli furness with his natty weave remix of ‘don’t stop’. super spicy ep!

as per usual, jwb presents an ep of high quality. this time with the helping hand of t. ruggieri. one can appreciate the grand scale of sounds inside a very deep atmosphere. two great remixes as pablo inzunza (little helpers / highgrade) and gus & bonso (wrong state) tops such a fantastic release.

after jumpsteady’s tour de force feature on tom dice’s falling off (previously available on don t bite records), he returns with a lyrical workout. an extended metaphor on slippery reptilian foes, he pulls no punches in this characteristic onslaught, consistent since his debut feature on crack the mike by dynametrix in 1994. if you like raw beats and raw rhymes, this one is for you. there will only be 150 of these available for sale, so get one quick - the perfect antidote to deadly snakebites.

traces of malmokon contributes four loud, forceful party nails to dba’s rave ready special editions series. hearing is believing.

curitiba-based aia records returns with it s second release. lucas and marcelo also known as doneck, started to join forces back in early-2013. musically influenced by international recognised artists such as san soda, andre&#769,,s and move d, the duo also found significance in the sounds of aia s own label heads aninha & antonela antonela giampietro. therefore, creating a mixture of three soulful, deep but endlessly sounding tracks seems very convincing and credible to the overall ethos of the imprint. with assaz the duo delivers a deep but soulful house number, whereas ocluso is deep house at it s best, with a light atmospheric vibe and the echoing vocal. last but not least, te&#770,,nue creates this feeling of weightlessness and ease with warm natural added sounds and it s groovy bassline.

pressing on blue coloured & marbled vinyl, housed and a silk-screen printed cover.

new beginning is aptly titled because its the first time for wordsworth and donel smokes to collaborate on an entire project. the outcome is bliss, from wordsworth’s graphic, storytelling style, accompanied by the scenic sounds of donel smokes, you get pure, no filter hip-hop music. with songs like f.u.(fingers up) featuring blu, or another day featuring masta ace, or do good featuring chali 2na, you get perspective of life, social issues, and ways to rejoice through it all. songs like hate and test of test will definitely spark discussion of reflection, while believe will give you a sense of optimism. this album is a great listen from new beginning to end.

dont touch my sister is romain azzaros rouge mécanique début album. cinematic hazy instrumentals and a heady mix of post-punk, italo disco, ambient and noise shine through azzaros dedication to his signature telecaster slide-guitar, bringing acoustic life to electronica. citing the visual realm as a strong influence on his music, rouge mécaniques releases are often accompanied by short films and hand picked design. the prelude video for dont touch my sister was born of a collaboration between romain azzaro and the film maker louis vignat, as inspired by the cover artwork of les beaux arts de paris artist jeanne briand.

a classic house track gets a re-release and an extra special edit from bass culture owner d julz. the edit of chicago groover * dont let love pass you by* from master c & j has been a staple of d julz sets for quite some time now. over time more and more people have asked about the track and he duly responded to demand by not only clearing his rework for release, but also signing up the original to be reissued via his label. so we have the original version, which oozes chi-town sleaze, remastered for 2016 together with the superb edit by the man himself, d’julz. need we say anymore?

in an endless ocean of electronic music, dj bone has always managed to stand out. 100% of the music he creates is the result of translating his experiences of growing up in detroit (both good and bad), into songs, songs that stand the test of time, excite the spirit and evoke emotion when played or heard. and now, bone has decided to unleash/unveil an alter ego…differ-ent. a sworn enemy of stagnation, differ-ent pushes past the boundaries of acceptance and into the realm of anticipation with differ-ent sounds, structures, visuals and moods. dj bone is detroit… dj bone is techno… dj bone is differ-ent.

los massieras see themselves as legitimate psychedelic explorers sonically adventuring into dark territories and furry textures. their concrete, minimal electronics, trance inducing percussive sounds and mutant disco influences are drone infected, with slight dub inflections and sometimes even an unusual cold & poppy feel, if you care to consider the residents a pop band.

dutch producer frits wentink continues to flourish in the follow up to his debut lp rarely pure never simple that was released on wolf music back in march this year. throughout releases on heist and wolf, frits has consistently drawn for his arsenal of synths, effects and drum machines and through doing so has stitched a sound characterised by raw drums, analogue bass tones and odd, lo-fi samples.
