gene hunt is one of the few producers from the original wave of trax records signees that still flies the flag for chicago house with as much gusto as when he started. this is his second trip out on inner shift music, and it finds the us house veteran on impeccable form. -kayla dream- is a light, airy jacker defined by amorphous synth washes that match the mellow mood of the label. -distant voyage- is a truly standout track though, dealing in crooked rhythmic structures and channelling the techno side of hunt s muse. -open up your eyes- maintains the introspective mood, but this time welcomes some soulful vocal turns into the adventurous, machine-powered landscape.

dispatch dubplate reaches a milestone 10th release this april, with ukraine’s finest, dub head. joining the elite series, reserved for only the most in demand, unreleased gems, it was only time before his superb talents would lead to a disdub release from the aptly name producer. led by the mammoth “globular cluster” (a heavily requested staple of dlr & ant tc1 sets), #10 also features the dark, sinister “critical mass”, deep rolling progression in orchestra soul and the thumping “little more” as an exclusive track, only available to vinyl buyers. a limited run of 200 hand stamped and numbered heavyweight vinyl copies are available, do not sleep on these, as they will not be repressed.

kinfolk returns after a long hiatus with an outstanding release from the mighty mind fair donning their newly invented sundown drive hats. sunset over santorini is a sonic brew of percussion, guitars, jazz-funk keys and heavenly vox that s all kept together with a driving shuffle that brings to mind the more experimental leftfield disco sounds of 70 s nyc and beyond. on the flip dan nad tyler delivers a wacked-out remix monster that takes it deep into a norwegian via homerton disco-dub-not disco-dub vortex of truly epic proportions that will twist your body, mind & soul as it ventures in and out of the groove laden original.

helena hauff s mighty return to disorder is back with a various artists 12inch packing phasers set to slay. lft is as evil as it gets on flare, dropping the kind of sleazy, bunker-ready, acid inflected electro that darkroom dreams are made of. marc ash has an edgier tone, maximising the distortion but also capitalising on uneasy space in the mix on grimy workout beirut calling. morah sends things in an airy direction on cold water, building up layers of noise but maintaing a strange air of optimism. hauff herself lands the b2 slot with a curious belter that channels the spirit of 90s midi game soundtracks amidst searing arepggios and a bloated kick.

4 years can feel like a really long time – -long time no see- was achim maerz frst wake up! ep back in 2013, -it s been a while- is his frst track on metal and machines and it s good to see that some things don t change. it s a true achim maerz track – focused on longing melodies, warmly distorted harmonies based on deep house foundations. -listening to machines- features a kickdrum like a steam hammer in factory hall. for the right mind, even a factory can be an inspiring place. benjamin brunn s -iron copper gold- follows his manner of creating timeless and eternal soundscapes. it is less playful and takes the tension to higher grounds. just like metal, it s cold being touched and it doesn t take long until it reaches body temperature. the fourth track express mode- was released on benjamin brunns drop lp in 2015. achim maerz remix sounds like a screwed-down uptempo house track – slow and heavy, but benjamin brunn s quirkiness is undeniably there.

new to the naar stable, in:state & giuli make their debut in stunning style.visitoz is a straight forward techno affair, as bumping as it is surprising. using a deceptively simple gated arp and horn to dazzlingly complex effect. the track is potentially the most peak time naar has gone yet, and it s an incredibly welcome addition to their canon. on remix duty lauer takes a hold of the main arpeggio and turns it monstrous in the style of liasions dangeruese, yet balances this with his trademark lightness of touch and his ear for a heart wrenching synth line, creating an instant classic that feels like it was beamed straight in from 1986. -plus 1- has been sent from a parallel dimension where the evolution of music took a turn so different that proto garage stands where proto house should be. the track has the step and swagger of the most compelling end of the 2 step movement, but balances that with the surprising naivete and earnestness found in italo, ebm and early forays from chicago. finishing things off, lizards return to the label for a welcome encore following last years success with their 1st release,tanni.

180 gram brazilian polysom re-issue of the polydor original.
one of the hardest rocking albums ever cut by os mutantes – a record that’s got a slightly ironic take on rock and roll styles of the time – still performed with the sense of drama and humor that always made the band so great! rita lee and arnaldo baptista are still in the group at this point, and they’re working amidst a heavy wave of guitars that echo out with a bit of keyboards and some rhythms that are chunky enough to almost be called funky at times, but sweet and dreamy at others – all produced with a flanged-out finish that makes the whole thing sound great!

baltimores pj dorsey has traversed a lifelong journey delving into psychoactive music which can alter ones cognitive and conscious state. he harnesses his experiences to create music as tarotplane. using guitar, effects and processing he produces time suspending soundscapes - immersive music for merging the mind and body. . 358 oblique is the follow up to first which was released on aguirre records in 2015. find yourself adrift in the lapping waters of a slow unraveling sea of sound, a spectral vortex of shimmering tones and discrete samples guide the listener into an aural abyss, while plangent six-string melodies offer glimpses into a sanctifying sensory space. the two exploration provide an evocative journey through a psychedelic continuum and beyond.

coloured vinyl + dl code

mehr als zweieinhalb jahre liegen zwischen der letzten gro?tat (dark angel) und dem nun endlich vorliegenden neuen werk des legend?ren kieler sextetts. f?r eine so leidenschaftliche band keine frage: am ende des tages muss eine platte her, die alles vorherige m?glichst nochmals eindrucksvoll in den schatten stellt. in anbetracht von genre klassikern wie 777 bloodrock oder german angst kein leichtes unterfangen. und doch gegl?ckt: colossus sollte als das ultimative smoke blow album in die geschichte eingehen.

the street edits label has been playing it cool and deadly since 2013, and now hits its tenth release with two crucial jams for the heads-down party heads. jtt, a shadowy figure with links to the bristol scene, gets deep in the chop-up on -know 2 much-, eschewing any obvious vocal licks in favour of the heavy, rolling funk of his source material. boogie cafe takes a different approach with -dynamite-, letting the core of the track shine through in all its bright, brassy glory. when he does go in for the cuts and fx on the breakdowns, it s oh-so sweet though. this is how edits should be done.

verloren’ is like a late night pink dutch sky after a long day of heavy rain, a sign that a warm summer’s day is just ahead. it will make you sweat tonight. this long awaited follow up 7-, will be released in the same form as the first: a beautifully designed disco sleeve with cardboard artwork. the vinyl will feature perfect-not-perfect, melancholic yet very danceable tracks. the machines in here take you back to the 80’s, but sound very contemporary nevertheless.

while frontiers currently seem to be (re)claimed and shutting down, we, at série limitée, prefer going against the consensus. we proudly launch the 10th release opening up doors to four new artists, deep88, sofotalk, kisk and the happy man. from italy to spain, our little musical caravan travels and wanders on paths and tracks made out of raw house beat leaves, fusion jazz trunks and deep groove fields, to bring to you this new va, our 10th, faithful to our long time recipe: 400 exclusive press. deep88 is officially in charge of welcoming you inside and of setting the tone. he will take you in with his track -wave house-. further up our musical trail, we ll start hearing the hints of the next step, our next stop: -more than a memory-, by sofatalk. on the road again, and we head to the b-side of things. we stay in close connection with italy with -clean up & down- from kisk. there is no good party without a great closure, and it s all even better with the happy man, closing the journey with -pizza hug-.

after some excellent digital releases on editorial and ism as well as a fantastic remix of kraak & smaak on jalapeno as one half of allovers we are very happy to release i gemin s debut vinyl ep on pressed for time entitled the let s move ep , it features two superb deep house numbers in the trademark i gemin style - chunky, hypnotic and soulful. we were big fans of both tracks here at pft hq so we got head honchos yse and goshawk on remix duties. yse reversions it s about trust in a tougher, trackier style with some mood ii swing-esque spoken word vocal on the flip goshawk gets his talons into let s move upping the tempo slightly and adding a bumping bassline whilst keeping the soulful vibe intact.

this summer path records launches its 2017 campaign with freshly recorded material from reade truths fate 258 moniker. the games with blades ep delivers an epic dose of material once again deeply rooted in the mysteriously seductive sci-fi themes the artist and label are well known for. games with blades visits the dystopian subject matter of the ultra-classic bladerunner and furthers reflection upon its themes of immortality, empathy, and the femme fatale. much like 1999s highly sought digger-classic why 2k this ep provides an enticingly varied mixture of flavors. deep and heavy techno, raw and rhythmic house and funkier electro styled breaks are all on display alongside fate 258s heavy bed of intricate sample-work. path records are leaders in the left field, providing dance floors with unique, conceptual future-classics that sublimely push a futuristic vision.

j.a.k.a.m is japanese artist takashige miyawaki, a long standing producer commonly found on crosspoint records. on this release for the ever intriguing malka tuti label miyawaki draws on a thrilling spread of influences to make a truly soul-stirring track. at times the vocals lean towards a middle eastern lilt while the saxophone burns with the fire of the post punk era. with monolithic drum hits, yearning violin and plenty more besides, wabi sabi is a many-headed beast of a track. moscoman takes the original and simmers it down to a more focused but no less exotic tribal house workout.

simba is a sweet soul from the uk, wefound him through his release on shadeleaf music and super happy about this 12inch and his remix for marcel vogel on mate 11. a truly gifted man!

italian house bastion vibraphone records has more than proven itself in the realms of classic deep house, but this new release from knlb certainly speaks to the new age of the label. the unknown producer makes a stunning entry with -second wind-, an effervescent breakbeat number that harks back to classic 90s mo wax sounds with its resonating piano licks and gritty drum samples. -apollo- meanwhile creates an interesting variation on the dub techno template with a wealth of instrumentation cavorting around a tripped out chord stab, and then -initialize- drifts off into blissful deep house meditation atop a purposeful beat. minimono swoop in to inject some direct funk into their remix of -intialize-, and a very fine job they do of it too.

echovolt s lost and found 10th release is finally out! a beautiful mosaic of six tracks produced by new and old friends hailing from six different parts of the world. . from the no-reason unreleased terekke s -sun salutation- remix, the new greek producer but old friend of us under the (for the time being) name -old man talkin -, the first hip hop jam ever released on the label by west coast s -tlim shug- to the mysterious one-off alias of sydney s -indreamz-. however, this compilation could never be more complete without our new loves that are australia s hugo gerani (aka john tanner) and shea from overseas both of them to be seen in future solo releases!

acknowledged of red pig flower s obsession for the red color, the 10th cat by sound of vast could not be a different choice. red pig flower, known not only as a musician but also as an artist, prepared a special concept for each track in the box.

while david moufang, also known as move d, certainly needs no introduction, the label polyfon remained a tip for insiders. it might seem like a long shot, but that’s probably what led to the fact that the paths of david moufang and wolfram both – one of the polyfon founders – crossed a few years back. the erfurt located imprint was mostly recognized for its underdog releases from berlin-based tomtomgroove (the funkman), steffen baldo aka ugly drums from cologne (basement amusement park, the next room) and even workshops mastermind lowtec who released his critically acclaimed angstrom ep with the thuringian label.

2017 repress! part 1 of 3 of timeless & mesmerizing tech-deepness by eduardo de la calle.

this music sounds mysterious and moody. well constructed works of smudgy acid and intermittent distortion make these tracks equally as ready for a dance floor as they are a spliff. we defaced the labels to further cloak the craftsman.

end of dayz presents its tenth release with all stars vol 1., some old friends and a new face on the label. ness, who made a remix on the 002 brings us his original track “semblance”. nx1, who remixed the first reference and did the 003, brings us a mysterious “eod4”. on the b side we have nehuen, who has already published as cws (with cardopusher) the reference 006. this time brings us his track “fight or flight response”. finally, we welcome to end of dayz the german sebastian habben and his track “bdt”.

house music with love turn once again to swedish duo swim for a record soaked in a particularly soothing bath of balearic goodness. original track -be there- is certainly laced with an air of scandinavian cool, not least thanks to erika rosen s dreamy vocals, but there s a solid boogie undercarriage carrying the music along. halllo halo step up with a remix that makes a playful, intricate broken beat refrain out of the backing track while maintaining the vocals. ghost immanuel meanwhile whips up a spacious dub that stays close to the original, albeit in instrumental form.

10th release on fasrat is the debut record of mr yo so hailing from the west pomerania region of poland (same as his label mate das komplex), rafal reich is an experienced musician. from playing piano in modern jazz groups to woodwinds in a brass band and synths in his home studio, his music displays rare sensibility and an ear for lovely melodies. delicious brings together six tracks recorded during last few years, from dreamy new age-ish soundtracks to proper balearic sunrise/sunset anthems, with obvious echoes of 70s lords of synth. cheesy, yes, but its this kind of rich, mature, delicious cheese we all like, dont we?

following the success of his debut album, dna, burnski returns to constant sound with a 4 track ep made for the dance floor.

illusion recordings are back after a years break from releasing music for their 10th and most ambitious release. they took a break to step back and build a strong platform for the future and build a crew of high calibre artists who represent and showcase their musical identity which they have built over their first 9 releases and two sub labels.

gatupreto release their sophomore distino di nos vida on tink! music! the duo from lisbon s hinterland return with a second round of their impeccable, futuristic theory on modern club music after the acclaimed modo di trabadja ep, released in 2015. the tropical taste of cabo verde, the cool of that lisbon dance floor fusionism, the appeal of classic vibes. tracks too dark and twisted to be called afro, too sexy and melodic to be called techno, too smart and freaky to be called house and too cool and mature to be called kuduro, it is simply gatupreto. on the a side i became me, deep afro dub with a killer sub bass and endless echoes, starring portuguese soul and hip hop legend nbc as guest vocalist and a remix by afro dutch master and fellow tink! artist philou louzolo who turns i became me into an irresistible deep house with african undertones. on the flip side, the dark dramatic stomping tracks afrowerk and gatu di noti, the first an eerie, irresistible peak time banger, and the later a stormer with sounds from natural africa, harpy acid lines and an off kilter beat.
