limited edition of 300 on transparent pink 180 gram vinyl, 100 copies numbered for rsd. karen willems returns under the moniker inwolves with perhaps her most ambitious record to this date. color in the zoo is a playful album, masterfully composed, wrapped in dreamy sound waves and repetitive rhythm patterns, but the tone became somewhat lighter. it literally bridges the gap between north and south as nils gröndahl and barkin engin, among others are guests on the record. expect a colorful sound palette, with outlandish sounds, that all cohesively click together in an utterly engaging aural trip around the world.

the four tracks and the interlude represent the personality of louis dauvergne: original, a bit messy, but always with the idea to find the new era of jazz-fusion. the drums and the funky spirit tracks, create a solid ep. this record is a tribute to gta vice city.<br< this record is a wonderfull piece of modern jazz-infused house music.

driven by a vicious and visceral soul, the buttshakers are known for their fierce and fiery music. yet after nearly a decade of touring and recording, it was with a different musical vision that they approached sweet rewards, their first collaboration with underdog records. accustomed to the raw, primitive sounds of 60s garage rock and the crude sexuality of premotown soul music, a sound they could have continued to dig into again and again. instead, they decided to take another route: a creative shift, a return to a style of soul music that no longer has to rely on pure energy alone. exceeding the limitations imposed by their tight yet powerful six person lineup, they opened up this studio session to fully accommodate their ideas and concretize their musical ambitions: a larger horn section creates a richer, scintillating sonority, a touch of slide-guitar opens their creative universe to the open spaces of the far west, the organ vacillates between psychedelic drapery and heartfelt gospel tones, all of this supported by the wicked groove of a percussionist driving the beat on. their sultry and soulful frontwoman, ciara thompson, is here for the first time supported by backing vocalist. an occasion for her to indulge in a few call and- response chorales, a reverence to a gospel background instilled in her from her native st louis (missouri), a still vibrant heritage from the city that cradled jazz, blues, country and folk music. ideal for a sound that never lets down yet remains intuitive to the gradual rise of emotion each song demands. with each new listening, sweet rewards reveals something new to the listener: another dimension, a hidden layer.

the prolific mc, producer and musician oddisee’s new album ‘the iceberg’ is a plea for humanity to dig deeper in search of understanding and common ground. his third release in just 12 months, ‘the iceberg’ is a distillation of stereotypical tropes in hip-hop and beyond, 12 tracks about money, sex, politics, race and religion that appear superficial until his multi-dimensional lyrics unfurl to expose the complexities of individuality and identity: how we see ourselves and how others see us. deeply soulful, and shot through with jazz, go-go, gospel, thick r&b and hard beats, the album is a timely, poetic statement.
lead single “things” acts as a mission statement for the album, a deep dance groove with lightning-quick lyrics about “things” he’s going through. says oddisee, “we all go through the trials & tribulations of life. why is it we feel the need to individualize our shared experiences? if only we could see our concerns as others do, maybe they wouldn’t be so serious.”

the copie blanche adventure begins with ‘beats around the bush’, a 4-track various. the a-side – called yesterday, is a tribute to the 90’s house scene, on which jemaho and groove riddim painted their vision of the house music. on the other side – today, armless kid and louis dauvergne, the two boys from the copie blanche crew, gave their take on house with verve.

when trends in music can come and go in the blink of an eye, ten years is a long time to stay relevant, passionate and real on the frontline. from its roots in the parisian club scene by way of its spiritual home at fuse in brussels and so on to the globe-trotting, multi-faceted entity that it is today, lessizmore is living proof of how to do a decade right.

the light is the first taste of the weird world created by american vocalist craig louis higgins jr. and french composer marc nguyen tan.

under his chemotex alias, marcos cabral has been one of the trilogy tapes most productive artists in recent times. this is his third 12&#8243,,, for will bankhead’s imprint in less than 12 months. unlike cabral’s recent album for l.i.e.s, which reveled in its’ own distorted, balls-out intensity, thulsa strives to get a balance between becalmed techno hypnotism, skuzzy grooves and gently melodious intent. this blend is perhaps most satisfyingly mixed on the industrial-tinged clank of “delta city-, though the woozier, scuffled late night warmth of “music for security” pushes it close. twice he heads towards deeper territory, first on the title track’s trance-inducing synthesizer loop groove, and secondly on the dubby, locked-in tech-house majesty of “lorentz-.

repress , amadeus sees its catalog graced yet again by new zealand outfit chaos in the cbd. the kiwi brothers, birthed ben & louis helliker-hales, are no new faces to the label, or the wide variety of genre-bending acronyms they encompass. having recently relocated from tropical auckland to damp london earlier this year, the two take their productions along with them in their latest efforts, 816 to nunhead. title track and aside, 816 to nunhead, is tinged with whats left of summer. a nostalgic tune built for the sun and soaked in funk. its a track reminiscent of early french disco, almost as if built for the two robots themselves...

euphoric fresh techno tracks with house flavor

louis haiman returns to abstract forms with some seriously deep underwater vibes....and who better to co-pilot than heinrich mueller himself. essential.

white material at last, after a long break… wm006. a four-track ep by morgan louis — from the 004 showcase — plus three locked grooves. (b3, b4, b5) pedigree, locomotive, deep steppers

this year is the 2nd year of polen and right now we are presenting the fifth record. louis is a drummer, a bassist, a musician and a dancer and this is his ep for polen. it was a lot of recreating and a lot of shifting to get the end result, but it was worth waiting for. music for dancefloor, for mornings and afternoons, for dancing feet and chosen ears. the art work is made by anne-sophie kneer.

focusing on deep and raw vibes, strictly wax and classic beats, the - montee louis ep- has been directly imported from bellevue ii, libreville gabon, africa & it has been produced by the great bernard da smoove. mpc-filtered deep house with some darker & menacing rhythms, a1 - hudson budd- kicks off the a1 with a meaty 4/4 kick drum which slowly finds itself surrounded by ghostly pads and even more haunting synths. a2 - thrawbock- mutates into a more light hearted house jam for the heads, with its vocal infectious sample. b1 - strctly move - goes back into familiar, smooth deep house territories but still retains his magic touch, able to transform even the deepest of basslines into something both unusual and musical at the same time. b2 & b3 thrawbock 88 & strctly move 88 are the 90s hip-hop (!!!) versions of the same tracks above : insane !! first time we heard it we thought, hell yeah, the production is just terrific & indeed there s a timeless quality to the intricately programmed drum machine rhythms, the drifting chords, warm

after the last lessizmore release found san proper and maayan nidam crossing swords for the simmering, jammed-out tones of it was a night like this, now the label turns to another close ally for a slice of discerning, upfront house music. louis mcguire lives many different lives in music, from drumming with indie pop outfit ballet school to playing bass for lo-fi electronica group the waves & us. now though his own solo productions are being noticed in the house and techno world, with this new ep following on from a well-received debut on supply records. the diversity of mcguire’s musical leanings feeds into his distinctive sound, as his own take on stripped down, sensual house music bristles with unconventional energy to make for an unforgettable experience that steps up to the most creative frontiers of dance music. live drum sounds rattle around the mix free from quantized safety, while the melodic tones come on warm and fuzzy, capturing the hazy romance of a late morning session as much as the early part of the evening. it’s apparent that mcguire’s weapon of choice is the mpc, channeling his love of gritty beats in the grand tradition of point g and j. dilla. you can hear the spirit of the most adventurous micro house pioneers in the quirky funk of light hearted, while Óreitha revels in the transcendental qualities of a sustained groove without even a whisper of monotony. even with these unusual qualities the music is resolutely built for the dancefloor, and that mcguire manages to be so creative and so focused in the same beat is reason enough to keep tabs on this multifarious and unpredictable operator.

slaines third official solo lp, the king of everything else boasts blessings from ill bill, vinnie paz, tech n9ne, madchild of swollen members, bishop lamont, apathy, jaysaun, termanology, reks, and the arcitype, and is produced by longtime slaine collaborator louis bell, statik selektah and dj lethal. also tagging along are some of boston hip-hops younger aces, including rite hook and moroney.

the second chapter for bizarro group zanzibar chanel, the yin-yang collaboration of agitated force zac segbedzi aka imhotep and cooled out louis cl. raw nrg captured on the fly in melbourne, the sequence of these diy productions reflect their dynamic equilibrium. on the a-side, drunk at the jazz club lays down some lo-tech disco with submerged symphonic keys and the squelching demented valentine one question. flip the record donald duck invades the elevating chicago melodies of flying high - mustnt evolves pure evil extraterrestrial funk (shout outs to dungeon master possee).

marking the start of an exciting new collaborative project, wolf + lamb proudly share the debut release of the waves & us. formed out of a creative meeting of minds between maayan nidam, markus nikolaus and louis mcguire, theirs is a sound that strengthens the storied approach of a live band with the experimental thrust of analogue electronics. pop and rock fundamentals lend an earthly hook to the tracks, but these are anything but straight-forward songs. maayan has already forged a formidable career in electronic music, both under her own name and as part of mara trax, scoring releases on such celebrated labels as perlon. markus performs his own solo project cunt cunt chanel, while louis is part of ballet school, a band releasing on noted indie label bella union. the whirlwind of creativity that has whipped up around the trio has yielded an album which will follow this single, made up of one-take recordings that capture the energy and adventure that powers the waves & us. maayan s electronics provide the atmospheric backdrop to the songs, running modular synthesisers and drum machines through detailed chains of processing and effects with an emphasis on a warm, charmingly rough finish. markus guitar undergoes a similar fuzzy treatment while his voice calls out introspective, abstract lyrics to set the mind racing. louis bass underpins the music with a dubby sensibility, bringing a necessary balance to the frequency range. making the most of their in-the-room recording approach, the singles will feature alternative takes of the songs that will appear on the album, providing a little insight into the flutters and fluctuations that shape the development of this project. with their eyes fixed on live performances and an arresting sound already formed, this is a vital time for all three artists and the people that listen to them.

number 3 on ruff draft comes from louis guilliaume. having met louis back in 2009 and followed his music since way before then, it was an exciting day when we received these tracks from him. known more for his harder edge techno productions on labels such as soundtravels, bio rhythm holland, teng, sd holland and a remix on skudge, here he edges slightly away from that harder sound. the tracks vary from deep, groovy and meandering house to a beatless soundscape reminiscent of early larkin and pullen to a powerful kick drum driven sermon.

hip hop did not develop in a vacuum - its roots can be traced back to the earliest afro-american music, and the folks who were influenced by these sounds along the way. this lp compiles some of the great recordings that showcase the spoken word and street culture put forth from the 1920s through the 1960s that would go on to influence the entire rap music genre. the themes will be familiar - religion, politics, black experience, badass gangsta rap, speed, sex, drugs and rock n roll. lets listen to the lessons that the hipsters of the past taught the rappers of today.
