soft bangers and beatless movements from brooklyn­ based producer umfang, following up last years 1080p ­released cassette “ok” with the five track “riffs” 12”. this vinyl debut finds her tripping on ambient and rediscovering the microkorg that she tried to sell but started experimenting with again. these five vivid tracks are a logical progression from the previous polyrhythmic techno—footwork thoughts, avoiding 4/4 and textured with imagery, simple melodies and landscape ­invoking sensations. umfang is emma olson, prolific dj, co­-founder of discwoman and programmes technofeminism, a monthly residency at bossa nova civic club focusing on emerging local talent and an affection for vinyl.

nice price deal !!! from the beginning, oktored has tried to keep himself away from the pigeonholing nature of the electronic dance scene. seamlessly blending early rave sounds with futuristic beats and melodies, he has really been coming into his own lately. from a young age, he has been into a multitude of different genres of music ranging from ambient to death metal. the next two releases will show just that. the first of which will be the more passive side of oktored.gemini 1 (or the good side) really brings together a feeling of old detroit style techno/house with some new moombahton flavour. the fact that he has been motivated by so many different styles and sounds becomes very apparent on tracks like relax and inéz, while he brings some real deep, future bass styling on the drifter. for fans of future sounds of 8 mile, this release will be a fantastic follow up ep. but that is only one side of our gemini friend. the follow up release, gemini 2 will showcase his darker, more aggressive side. delving into rough, uninhibited bass and beat tracks, oktored will begin to show just how deep his production can go

oisel presents dimensione astrale, a release that gives an important definition to his musical identity. the spatial sounds are the main feature of the tracks, in fact the artist tried to create an ambient similar to an abstracted dimension, in which the mind can get lost. the final result is a repetitive mental flow of some distant galaxy traped in wax.

mike ash returns to super rhythm trax after providing the very first release and gives us 4 authentic and acidic warehouse smashers. mike ash may be familiar from early releases on moving shadow and rising high records under a variety of pseudonyms in the early 90s but in the last 10 years has become synonymous with releasing mind blowing and true electro under his own name. when he turns his hand to acid house, the results mirror the high quality and his no nonsense approach shines through having lived and breathed the music and culture back when it was exploding in the late 80s and early 90s. in his own words i tried to keep with the original 1988/1989 vibe. i didnt use any synths / sounds / samples that weren t available past 1990. its all juno / sh-101 / 303 / jupiter / 808 / 909 / 707 / 606 and samples from the beats breaks & scratches vol 1&2inch the tracks exude a raw and strangled soul and are a bold and comfortingly honest take on the warehouse and pirate radio sound of the uk.

bodyjack returns to his bodytrax label with another 3 outstanding bodytrax. is he always like this? is an infectious groove-based techno workout which has been tried and tested by a select few djs over the last few months. kamala’s revenge is a hypnotic tribal roller with darkside vocals, off-kilter rhythms and & tripped out fx. one for the heads down crew. last but not least, the uptempo house jacker disrespect combines a killer bassline and bodyjack’s now signature razor sharp beats ’n’ stabs to round off the ep. oh, and there are 4 locked grooves on the 12- release for the heads. don’t sleep on this one!

deep in the bowels of the dixon avenue basement lived a man so outrageously overweight we used him for a sofa. king chubby, a suite chap but a bit cheeky. said the only reason he was humpty dumpty was cause every time he rode yer maw she made him a sandwich. he tried dieting but nothing worked. we took drastic action and wired woofers direct to his lardy lugs with in basements vol 2 blasting in on repeat. thanks to the squelchy genius of tunes like luna, save it and sneaking out our big boned bro boogalooed himself skinny. he bopped till the weight dropped. king chubbys pumpalicious now and you can be to if you sign up to casio royales latest dabj dance diet plan.

2015 brought the trilogy of the dancer to ressort. now the labels core artists each remix their tracks in circles. while all of them aim for the dancefloor, ressorts core artists could not sound more diverse. ekserd and border one aim for the raw, the groovy and the pure while array access and glos lose themselves more and more in sound design and dreaminess. since the many aspects of art and music form a cycle of ying and yang, each artist shows the other an interpretation of what he might have missed before. be it a complete stomper or a light absorbing epos, a deep and groovy house and techno hybrid or a journey into the depths of space every artist made one of the well known tracks released on previous eps his own. it is a very colourful package that bares every moment the label tried to cover in it s series before.

heres an ep with two songs that are sure to take you back. originally mixed by the legendary larry levan of the world famous paradise garage. these two tracks were both considered anthems when played by larry himself. officially released in 1986, but this demo mix of winners was never released. larry levan played this unreleased cut for many years. groove was never actually released and it was larrys secret weapon! in january of 2003, both songs will be available for the first time together and are sure to bring back the nostalgia that has tried to be recaptured ever since. written by brodie williams. mixed by larry levan

vincent vedat comes along with his first ep for s.g.o.l. he has tried to unite a sick-sound with classical house elements. on the a side worries & all the same come with deep vocals and extreme sleaziness. bashful and as soft as velvet are the oversoft husle on the b side.

a sort of cabaret voltaire for the iphone age, drooids are a collective of three multimedia artists who produce electronic music using improvisational, often anarchic methods. utilizing a hodgepodge of gear both old and new, and not-wholly-quantized, they create a collage of sounds that verges on chaos before slipping back into a dark yet weirdly club-oriented beat. their live shows usually feature multiple guest collaborators, costumes, sculptural props and performative antics. for their debut release on lse we tried to capture the spirit of these shows and recorded over 11 hours of drooids improvising in the studio of the course of one week. those 11 sprawling hours then got edited down to these 4 snapshots, mastered and pressed in a limited edition of 200 (40 with original gelatin silver prints) for our 6th vinyl release.

archie pelago is a trio from brooklyn. greg plays cello, zack plays saxophone, and dan plays trumpet and works the knobs. the archie guys did one of the very first releases on mister saturday night records, and we’re very happy to have them back – especially with such brilliant tunes. the a side, clammy customer, takes dozens of twists and turns, weaving in vocals by the always excellent gabriel garzon-montano, and the b side, madame suede nightshade, was apparently made with us in mind (check the initials). both sides are tried and tested on our dancefloor and cut at 45rpm for maximum oomph.

*** repress 2015 ***!! its a get together between master rick and young kyle. and its time to turn things up a notch. kyle hits it unbelievably hard with >after fall<. have you ever tried head banging to disco music? if not, now is the time, because this track will make you do just that. there is no denying. banger! on the b-side the godson eases down a little and lifts the classic >love & happiness< a capella to work it into a hypnotic groove. build it up! the third track sees kyle and rick teaming up, where kyle provides the drums and rick delivers the groove. a futuristic piece of jazz techno, 22nd century shit, that plays with your mind and demands you to move.

official re-issue of larry heards the housefactors project!another one of his classics!raw and relentless tracks that went so far from any electronic dance music from that period that to date this is still recognized as larry heards signature sound. with his mr fingers and fingers inc. projects going towards club use, this and his gherkin jerks showed another side of him maybe a darker side,but for sure a more raw and different side with music that sounds as if it came from another planet.jacking tracks that to date only larry heard have made like this. many producers have been inspired or tried imitate his sound with all good intentions, but still, gherkin jerks and the housefactors are some of the most unique projects in house music history. play it loud originally came out in 1988 (!) on black market records. and how cool is it to see an official re-issue on the original label by the original guys who did this almost 25 years ago!eternal respect to larry heard and a big thanks to black market records for making this important record available again.

nologo is back with 2 essential, tried and tested underground club tracks. orlando b serves up side a with dark world, an epic, slow burning, dark-house journey. dark world begins completely stripped back before the main hook, an eerie hypnotic vocal is introduced. funky percussive elements creep in which drive the piece forward and a deep minor pad heightens the tension setting the tone for the rest of the track. the energy builds gradually with the addition of a 303 bass line peaking just before the end, taking the listener on a dark hypnotic trip. on the flip, is none other than house & techno legend mr g who uses the dark world vocal but takes it somewhere new providing his own unique and distinctive flavour. mr gs rum remix is a dark and twisted peak-time banger, the high energy from the off set perfectly complementing the slower vibe of the original. plenty of sub and twisted synth action keeps the momentum high and the dark stab he uses punctuates the vocal nicely giving it a raw edge. dark world is an essential addition to the record bag for darker dancefloors. dj deep: i love this, your remix is super funky and dark at the same time!!! dope! tom (panorama bar): ufff nice and dark.....another mr g gem. to be served with the rum rush...

the new sagat is truly emotional: the drums are neat and the sounds are warm. tight groovy rhythms travelling within layers of the deepest dark dub without sounding evident or tried. familiar but new. precise funk made of techno frequencies. reverb and delays that bring butter to your ears: melting the earth onto your body. *melt* is a body: it has a rhythmic pattern and synths that pop up like a breathing living organism. *earth* is the landscape: you can visualize it. *organs* is your brain thinking about a better dance world and *body* is what is left to dance in the way old gescom vynils used to.

disco meze ep impresses quickly with an uptempo collaboration headed by vinyladdicted. nym is a diggers delight, looped guitars and strings with a heady solo courtesy of jean claude gavri. pixelated drop the bpm and acid with their sublime re-edit of caught up in the rapture. in contrast to the relative obscurities on the a-side, the flip is packed with time-tested, tried-and-true sampling courtesy of alkalinos day to day and the silver riders hidden rung.

the second of the three vinyl eps featuring tracks from perc trax’s ‘slowly exploding’ compilation groups together three of the label’s main artists and closes with a producer making his perc trax debut. the a1 slot goes to label boss perc, whose ‘hyperlink’ builds on the sound of the dancefloor tracks of his last album with a huge kick giving way to swooping 8-bit chords whilst sawf’s ‘goves’, already tried and tested by perc over the last few months is an unrelenting breakbeat monster. on the b-side truss delivers one of the stand-out tracks of this series, with the surgeon supported analogue juggernaut that is ‘brockweir. closing things off is drvg cvltvre, who lowers the tempo but not the intensity with one of his trademark 303 workouts.

coming from the darkest depths of the south american jungle but raised in the city of utrecht in holland, julian alexander is a name that might not have fallen on many ears as yet but we guarantee you ll be hearing a lot of this 18 yr old powerhouse in the future. with a background in jazz and a trained multi instrumentalist, exploring hip hop and underground house and uk garage, julian soon started to craft a unique style and put his own slap and funk into the mix. focusing on a deep powerful sound with plenty of pound he quickly caught our attention as his meaty, stripped down minimalism explores an even darker chamber of the dungeon . julian s hustlin ep delivers the kind of tracks that keep the floor moving, essential tools that can be the perfect transition or the spark that lights the fuse on on the dance floor. can you believe he made the track undrg at the ripe old age of 16 years old. it really blows our minds to think he made it 2 years ago and it still sounds fresh and futuristic. as with all our releases these jams are tried and tested and proved to be very useful for building the tension and getting those fist pumping. their solid, track, bass heavy vibe will have no problem bothering even the biggest bass bins

the man behind the end of level boss label, cyclonix, delivers 2 club tracks just the way we like them. already tried and tested in the clubs by our man cottam, who fell in love with the tracks on first listen. they demand to be played in the early hours of the morning in dark basements from nottingham to leyland and beyond. label boss cottam takes over the b side with a leisurely walk back from the supermarket taking the scenic route for no apparent reason.

nsm002 is me, mosca, again. two not-house not-techno tracks, a little more raw and textured than my last 12inch but with the same emphasis on dark, sexy grooves and just enough dissonance and freakiness. the greyhounds is a dubby rolling thing with an indulgent breakdown that i wondered about scrapping. i ended up backing myself because the crowds i played it to seemed happy, and ive wanted to use those strings for eleven years now. i tried to make clinical trial for the basement clubs, dust and metal and tape. thanks for checking it out.

after a brief hiatus church are back with a debut offering of original material from apes. the a side *two thousand six* is a straight up techno work out, having been tried and tested this track is aimed directly at the dance floor. chaos in the cbd are on board for the remix taking us on a journey of warm, deep, subtle analogue house fresh off the back of their stand out track *78 to stanley bay*. the b side *cold love* goes some way to show apes’ versatility as a producer, it’s a nostalgic piece of work, with a pulsating bass-line driving through the track along with intricate percussion and a choice vocal sample to round things off. cold love is equally suited for the club or for home listening. apes right hand man seb wildblood takes the track in a slightly different direction, using elements of the percussion and transforming the vocal sample for a delightful melodic contribution to the ep. early support from paul woolford, breach, ben pearce, dusky, alexander nut & more.

vocal driven electronica, pop sensibilities and a touch of melancholia is a tried and tested recipe of silence music cuisine.

just after a few months after his last effort, coni is back with a vengeance on the clekclekboom imprint with the wild -comfort zone- ep. this time he tried to do some happy raw tracks to dance to, but not only.

as a rave icarus turns to his companion and sighs, *we tried to touch the sun my friend, but we got burned...* these tracks leave a trail of scorched earth behind them while you stand bewildered in their smoking wake. nurture your most wayward desires to these sounds coming from god knows where, and inflict them on the innocent as soon as you can.
