vinyl only – a new series from mad recordings that equates all possibilities in intergalactic exploration to dance
limited copies

another brace of bangers from world unknown music, we re all really pleased with how this one turned out. big and fat and disco-ready, mastered by andy blake and lawrie curvepusher via tape. side x theo nasa lstnbrghn world unknown and theo nasa first crossed paths in andres branco s vintage designer clothes emporium, wavey garms. . we re really chuffed to be releasing theo s vinyl debut. its a pounding big room monster inspired by his first experiences of a certain berlin nightclub. theo nasa will be a big deal sometime soon, there s no doubt about that. make sure you get on this now so you can tell all your mates how you have been into him for ages. side y traynor - sunward -can i send you some tracks to listen to? id love to get some feedback from you. not an especially odd request for a dj these days. but it s a very nice surprise when literally every track in an 8 track demo package from someone who has never put any music out before is brilliant. messrs bowley and blake had real trouble deciding which one to choose for traynors debut release and eventually went to sunward. its trippy and shimmering with a ton of pump. trancey but not trance, or maybe it is. the kind of thing that lights up your night in a club and gets played again and again at home or in the car

the digwah imprint returns with another dance floor dub, kicking up a storm.

unknown artist - vinyl only.

spacetalk is proud to reveal its most exciting release to date: a collection of long-lost recordings from forgotten californian duo morrison kincannon, rescued from the dusty tape archives of the pair’s lead songwriter, norman morrison... with only a handful of sought-after private press 7” singles to their name, morrison kincannon are all but unknown outside record collecting circles. yet norman morrison and terry kincannon wrote and recorded some superb songs during the 1970s and early ‘80s, desperately hoping for the break that would see them released on vinyl. now, at last, their time has finally come.

montreal-based outdoor enthusiast unknown mobile offers up his debut on normals welcome with this 12inch full of gentle hand drums and wavy melodies. percussion guides the way through levels of airy pads and catchy synth lines on 3 solo cuts. his dancefloor sensibilities then interlock with vancouver s amiable big zen for a spaced-out collaborative track on the b side.

you have been waiting for this for a long time. ricardo villalobos approved, huge edit!!!
12 inch one sided white label handstamped.

more fire from aaron broomfields archive, here we have two sought after sides. im gonna miss ya was transferred from tapes by aaron himself and is a brilliant boogie joint thats highly coveted on many scenes for good reason. on the flip we have got the super rare and relatively unknown does anybody really know, one for the heads, no master exists for this but jeremy underground kindly lent me his minty copy to master from, jeremy is a man who possess extremely good taste in modern soul and disco and who we will be working with more in the future

white label deep house tunes.

for fans of metrolux, russian torrent versions, delsin, black venison. this 4 track ep has artists with decades of experience that packs a punch of contemporary techno and has plenty of different textures to build any set. owen-jay, half of revered label/artist gauss ltd. (battibatti, metrolux, uq) launches with a tough, raw hypnotic driver of crushed filter distorted patterns. next molegrip, collab between brian james (battibatti, metrolux) and caspian rabone (polaris, battibatti) keep the groove with classic techno and dub atmospherics. on the flip sees unknown artist cmnt deliver some arpeggiated lazyness before cyan341 (rednetic, uncharted audio) polishes off the ep with a tight beat supported with an elegant ambient foundation.

fresh mini vinyl album (vinyl only), with super sexy electro tunes

cryovac recordings seeks out characters that give depth to the soundscape of detroit s underground. cryovac individuals believe in their path and stand for their art. ray7 is a multifaceted musical being surviving an ever evolving technosphere. he is an unknown hero that holds his own sonicly on any side of the planet. ray7 provides the power needed for the cryovac machine to hatch a new plot. cryovac exists due to the efforts of craftsmen and artists that work together to make something unique. side a starts with an ancient zulu chant that provides protection as well as a funky sort of techno break pop. the next track grinds in to a ruff and gritty narration of ghetto mind-set under the influence of classic electro. a constant roll moves the last track into addition and subtraction inside of a spartan groove that breaks and turns with strength. side b opens with a busy 4/4 be-bop lackadaisically drifting with dreamy synth over the chatter of voice, hi-hats, and reverb broken down by a 303 buzzing. track two is a dark and sloppy incomprehensible subliminal sing-a-long building and ebbing around a stark kick and clap.

warehouse find. stunning dat tapes by unknown enigmatic producer. dusty 1990 s analogue house dancefloor killers. the penultimate part //// of a ///// part series.

the unlikelihood of being alive warrants expression. in the increasingly digital universe we are tangibly intertwined yet phenomenally disconnected. this creation of soundscapes defines dream-like iterations of a post-internet reality and is uncanny in its ability to quintessentially emulate potential futuristic states of being. it induces the uniqueness and highly emotive aspects of undefined existences. it is raw and purposeful. potatoheadz is a melbourne/berlin based, diy label created by nipuna jayasekera, leon wan & sam sedgwick. it is dedicated to the dispersion of local and international music focused on innovative artistry. unknown data set is their first record and third release featuring the music of various artists. 400 copies!

presence unknown is a new vinyl and digital label curated by longtime producer and dj, neil keating aka controlled weirdness. neil has been behind the decks and deeply involved in all aspects of club and underground sound system culture since the early eighties. he has released his music on numerous underground labels and performed all over the world, from plush clubs to dirty warehouses. worth a read are a couple of published articles by neil regarding his experiences on the dance floor of underground clubs in london and new york in the eighties. see links at the bottom of this page for these as well as a detailed biography and discography. there is also a link to a recent 40-minute interview with distant planet tv that explores his cultured rave history. the second release on presence unknown contains four future-retro house grooves from controlled weirdness crafted using a variety of analogue and digital hardware in his south london studio.

palingsound you know the score.

weve been huge fans of tims work since the release of his first self-titled ep on astrolab. his analogue sound has been described as both death mulch and rare gloom. for his second work for love twelve, he continues the journey into dark spaces with four more deep synth freakers from his fish island school of synthesis studio. after releases on esteemed labels including emotional response, world unknown, bird scarer, hoga nord, rotters golf club (as the asphodells with andrew weatherall) and his own label crimes of the future which he runs with scott fraser, his debut album where is the champion? was released earlier in the year to critical acclaim. tim will continue to push forward and we feel privileged to see him return for a wfl round two.

limited 100 vinyl pressure on this one from an undisclosed european producer who has been responsible for more than a few choice cuts over his 25 years of releasing records. burning up lights the dance floor by squeezing every last drop of energy out of just a few key elements, a modulating pulsing cross-rhythm bass snakes around driving disco beats with choice vocal samples adding the final bit of ear candy. minimal, a bit twisted, but hooky as hell. on the flip we have becoming cyclonic, a far deeper excursion where 808 toms dance around a repeating fretless bass melody. an immersive and euphoric melding of drum machines, synths and 12bit jazz-fusion samples, all being put through the sonic mincer and coming out like the proverbial gourmet sausage. yum!

in the spirit of cultural pride, rune lindbaek provides the audio tour guide into the unexplored back streets of norwegian disco his deep knowledge of disco delicacies from the frozen north may be a revelation to those who ve heard his more mediterranean outings, however here we have an extended ep on untapped treats, leading with three hefty slabs of late seventies, matured brunost on the a & moving into more obscure territory on the flip, where the sought after i dekning is followed by two more idiosyncratic jams, which possess the dancefloor heft of a well roasted reindeer shank super limited ! .

the killers’ 2nd album, originally released in 2006, now back on vinyl.

conceived along the space of a few years and part of a big collection of unfinished experiments stored on cassette tapes, this eight tracks selection well represents fred ventura s late 80s and early 90s infatuation with chicago house, detroit techno, early warp records and even a secret passion for ebm. using a basic set up made of roland juno 106, roland jx-8p, oberheim dx, roland tr909 and an akai sampler, these tracks were never officially mixed and meant to be released until today. minimal and hypnotic, dry and direct, both sides of the record show an instinctive approach to rhythms and basslines, typical of those days where computer didn t have a predominant role in the creative process.

very limited repress! the mind is the subject in which ideas inhere. inhere is a collective of like-minded artists based in bucharest, romania. vinyl only.

the killers’ 2013 album back on double vinyl. incl mr. brightside

amsterdams worst kept secret makes it back to unknown precept with his long-awaited album and first solo output since the acclaimed divine bovine tape mini-album. inspired by an evening spent in a restaurant next to a car demolition site, eindkrak s long player debut echoes the distant sound of steel being crushed and cars pressed into cubes. all this noise, in combination with the taste of good italian food, lead to the eleven tracks making up for the aptly titled brullend staal — loosely translated to weeping steel. a leisurely stroll on crumpled metal sheets, the acidic hints of oxidized metal and the smell of gasoline. inaudible and distorted vocals as if smothered by the clatter and smokestacks of steel factories. eindkrak s first full-length is all about this disquietude made of melted and straightened scrap metal. a resounding and tumultuous din. try to eat some nice gnocchis while listening to this album, and you ll see what it is all about.

ltd three track with classic house / disco

invoking the power of a stampeding herd of mythical beasts, the animais soar o alarme 12inch is a carnivalesque dancefloor exploration that highlights the unbridled percussive sound for which ninos du brasil have become known. according to the label: the a side presents the shadowy duos original track a rollicking and propulsive explosion of beats unified by steady stomping bellows of unknown origin. the b side sees the bunker resident dj patrick russell providing the first ever remix of a ninos du brasil track, imbued with the precision, discipline and restraint for which he has become known, making animais soar o alarme seem all the wilder for his skillful steadying hand

ltd 10 inch, dark & mysterious

listening to unknown path s pathfinder for the first time is a claustrophobic experience. it s as if the tracks had been recorded to tape and left to decompose for 10 or so years, then dug up and re-recorded. a thick layer of grunge and an overall murky feel sets the tone for path 0.1 and continues throughout the ep. paths 0.2 and 0.3 add a more upbeat feel to proceedings, as the beats get scattered around like they were in a pinball machine. path 0.4 finishes off the experience by bringing the tempo back down, while all the time keeping the uneasy atmospherics that make this ep a unique and rewarding listen.

lay down the groove is proud to present its second vinyl va release, -ldgv02 night spot-. with the collaboration from medu (rewire musik), gabriel ferreira (items & things), our label heads (this time appearing as lay down the groove) and an unknown artist who has also worked with tupiar records. this organic and clean selection of tracks has already been supported by dudley strangeways, caceress, martin bellomo, javier ferreira, miro pajic, dryclap, david san and many more.

stepping up to continue defected’s in the house tradition is dj haus, a decidedly untraditional dj, producer, originator and diy label innovator. recognised among the underground house community as being at the cutting edge with his imprints unknown to the unknown and hot haus recs, dj haus’ kaleidoscopic eclecticism and refreshing lack of ostentation makes him, in defected’s opinion, an ambassador for the future of house music.
ahead of the release of the full compilation defected presents dj haus in the house this vinyl double pack keeps things super fresh and direct with a whopping eight compilation exclusives. new material from deadboy, jordan (uk), ejeca and innershades is included, plus remixes from dj octopus and dj steaw. demonstrating a colourful array of raw and jacking sounds that encompasses electro, chicago house, disco, techno and uk garage, dj haus in the house does the uk’s house scene immensely proud. it documents a moment in time when dj haus’ quietly pioneering dedication to the underground is celebrated in suitably reverent fashion.

unknown label rises from the need to move away from the conventional music industry and to find a place where the music speaks for itself, where artists can go beyond their limits and fully express their potential.

light sounds dark come correct once again with another stellar 2x12” compilation, mining the depths of rare and private press documents from the past 40-odd years.
