reissue coming soon!

its not so easy to pigeonhole de:pots musical style: deep, groovy, smoky and pending somewhere between akufen, krause duo and cypress hill. with his vinyl-debut for sophisticated helmsmen, the analog-studio-punk from the provincial backcountry of eastern germany now delivers a proper dope-house masterpiece, fairly dragging the anxious legs of any foggy dancefloor. bigbait012 – thats five tracks, five statements, five unmistakably groovy and well-hung slices of contemporary house-music, giving the listener the opportunity to get a hint of what crazy and freaked-out experiments de:pot has figured out in his mind – highly contaminated dancefloor drugs for shuffle addicts

new cosmopolitan label with arms in spain, france and the usa delivering some quality house music! slow town records drops some intense and pure tracks by joe babylon (roundabout sounds, us), tomas es (greece), khalil (tunisia) and jesuon (italy, hypercolour). this various artist catalogue opener show the intentions of the label, fat & sweet, deep & warm. promising start with some talented new names as well as some big shots in the pipeline. check!!

up next on scubas hotflush recordings is the stunning debut ep >forever for now< from 20 year-old duo shelter point. through the use of field recordings, upright pianos, their own chopped and screwed vocals and a varied palette of synths, the pair have created a lush and elegant four track love letter that is bound to make their contemporaries stand up and take note. >braille< sets the scene, its wistful, haunting vocals delicately slinking along to emotive and complex analogue synths, only slightly changing course on the vibrating and discordant 80s inspired >hold on me<. on the flip is the title track, a compelling and experimental piano ballad, rich with vinyl crackle and a bittersweet lyrical flow (forever burned your picture in my mind) followed by the pop-inspired >sleep easy<, a sweetly composed bedroom soul production kitted out with filtered synths and dubbed out atmospherics. a unique and memorable debut from a very bright new talent, shelter point is here to stay.

sunwalkers is the b-side project of rks, thats what happens when the power of the beats meets the light of the synths. a raw mix of miscellaneous pad and analogue drums that start with a tribute, a detroit reminding track, 303 acid bass and a blaze of sweet melodies, like the old school way says. the ride goes on with 2, an easy dancing jam, the piano chords run into an unceasing clap for a massive dirty floor killer. on the b-side terrence parker puts his groovy piano style on a brilliant remix of the light, seven minutes of pure detroit parkers energy with a dreamy heartbreaker bridge.

elbee bad is another great underground house pioneer from the formative days of nyc house in the late eighties. the true story of house music finally gets told... tip! like the burrell brothers, elbee bad aka lamont booker, is an early house producer from new york city. and the comparison doesnt stop there. elbee bad has also recorded under different aliases and has also remained largely unknown to a wider audience. he has also recorded for nu groove records, for which he has recorded his most famous material, but like the burrells he wasnt a nu groove fixture. bad recorded for a slew of other independent new york house labels like bassment, city limits, easy street, red heat, united states of america and then there was his own larhon records

only vinyl! the road you meet is not always easy! there are many obstacles and often the path is long. conrad van orton is able to translate this in his three tracks. an ep where brilliance and depth come together with modern and innovative techno. unique and high class sounds! the sound of key vinyl!

the original boulevard album by st. germain (the brainchild of french producer ludovic navarre) as double 12 inch in gatefold cover with the original artwork.

already on the decks for a couple of years and a established regular dj at schwarzes schaf (the black sheep) in augsburg (along with daniel bortz), dominik marz now also shows his talent as a sensitive and highly talented producer. after his resent debut on leipzigs infamous o*rs label the >shmoozen ep< is his first release on pastamusik. leon holstein provided production support during the studio sessions. the tracks stand out with relaxed and at the same evermore deeply moving tone. while it sounds so effortless and easy, each of these three pieces contains a great deal of high tension that gets its audience inevitably into the mood to swing. dominik is on his way to provide lessons in creating lascivious beats and enchanting atmospheres which make us wait for his next emotional strikes

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth aren’t in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben valløe in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and valløe and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

its easy to come across many techno albums which contain neither a true vision nor a concept these days. however, throughout the last three years, the berlin sound has witnessed a revival in both method and sound aesthetic.

breakbot aka thibaut berland - ed bangers newest and brightest star announces his debut album >by your side<. having delighted dancefloors around the world with his infectious discoid funk of baby im yours and fantasy, and killer re-rubs for justice and metronomy amongst others, one out of two is the first single to be taken from this multi-instrumentalists highly anticipated debut album by your side.
double 12 inch vinyl release, including cd-copy of the album

nice price deal !!! castratiis first long-player of witchy doom pop. beware, its easy to get by listening to eora

kht 002 comes from affie yusuf, a longtime legendary producer from london, who has released tons of tracks solo and in groups on labels such as ferox, force inc and many more. meeting affie yusuf for the first time via internet was like meeting an old friend. a sympathy for the devil was our common sense and after hearing some of his unreleased music it was obvious we needed to get closer. for his first release on killekill he has sent us so many good tracks it was not easy for us to compile the first release. but here we go now with the >i m free ep<, a 12 inch full of house as we like it. raw as shit and full of fun, funk and energy!

the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!

the a side bonnino of this split maxi by campaign of love is a timeless techno track with a nice dub / detroit feel. almost everything is arranged live. battle call by ed shepherd has a kind of blues rhythm with a heavy moogbassline and an easy whistle.

the third album by talk talk, originally released in 1986, back on vinyl. this lp also contains a high resolution audio transfer of the original album masters and original b-side >its getting late in the evening< on an audio-only dvd.

part 1/3. the distance from ricardos last field trip >the au harem d archimede< (perl43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12 lp-set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. it is said that funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. the space between the notes here is so vast that funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. the rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. they evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.

with another release that is made to be a soundtrack for sunny open air scenarios, acker records keeps living up to its name and pays tribute to the current summer season. in doing so, the label from mecklenburg one more time steps out of the line, since this release again distinguishes itself by a refreshing otherness. light and easy piano plonking as well as the lascivious french voice of singer rebecca dominate the atmosphere of ici, while its minimal electronic groove discreetly remains in the background. a really tropical feeling evolves in the long version of this track when playful synthesiser chords give rise to the idea of a steel drum. in his remix, mollono.bass manages to combine the very song-orientated approach of the original with a bouncy electronic arrangement. thus he not only creates a lot of dance floor thrust, but also provides the perfect link to rather conventional productions.

finally its here! moustache is proud to present the superhit memories by alden tyrell featuring the voice of italo - fred ventura. the original version takes you back to 1983 combining rolling basslines and heavy synths with freds outstanding lyrics. this is a true masterpiece which has already been a major hit on the cybernetic broadcasting system. the flipside contains an instrumental version of the original as well as a state of art remix by fred ventura and stefano tirone for state of art 2.0. stefano is the original songwriter from jock hattle and part of flexx when they made the futuro e donna soundtrack. the remix is really easy going and great for lazy sunday afternoons on the couch. cutted by the legendary lex van coeverden. 500 copies only!

tnght (tonight) ist das gemeinsame projekt der beiden angesagten beatbastler hudson mohawke (warp) und lunice (luckyme) aus montreal, zwei youngster, die die hip hop/r&b-produzentenszene derzeit aufmischen, und auf ihrer ersten ep rap, hip hop- und r&b-sounds hemmungslos und fortschrittlich mutieren lassen.

highlive are introducing themselves with an interesting mixture of musical visions thru their first ep accurately titled >a thing called fusion<. its title track is an elegant melting of bass lines, easy highs and simple melody conduction. yet you never get annoyed nor are you expecting jim morrison to open a door, but it happens. there is a psychedelic touch when you least expect it.
enjoy a musical high in your life, enjoy highlive – a thing called fusion ep!

after ushering in a raft of releases from top talent over the last year that turned quite a few heads, we over here at thema thought it was time to assert our own opinions a bit more forcefully. we certainly appreciate all the support we garnered from the detroit drops courtesy of norm and terrence, and sliding over to the smallville end of the spectrum with rau and suburb certainly didnt lose the thread either. sometimes its easy to build a vibe on the backs of others rather than on simple merit though… with that in mind we have taken our own path since then, and the recent successes from beaner and laurine frost stand alone as the accolades keep rolling in. continuing on our outbound trajectory, we present the solo vinyl debut of gathaspar, the mysterious polish producer who has been making noise mostly in berlin and to the east.

from the stamps in his passport it is easy to see that thomas gold is growing as an international success and looks set to go from strength to strength.

following on from the massively popular philadelphia international: the re-edits package, here is the 2nd release in our special philly 40 campaign which is celebrating the 40th anniversary of philadelphia international records. welcome to the hugely anticipated >philadelphia international classics: the tom moulton remixes<. tom moultons involvement with philadelphia international spans the entire 40 years of their existence with many of his early mixes unaccredited in the era before the 12 inch disco disc. in 1977 pir released the ground-breaking historic original double lp philadelphia classics which featured 8 of tom moultons greatest pir mixes. the album has subsequently been reissued several times and is rightly hailed as a must have classic for any serious music lovers collection.

borrowed language returns with their second release this year, and the second collaborative effort to date from chicago-based producer/dj jeff pietro & label owner israel vines. following jeff pietros future classic >still< (charted by surgeon, peter van hoesen, silent servant, and many others) and justin iveys exemplary >apparition bay< (which won favor by the likes of rob hall and dj pete) was never going to be an easy task, but vines & pietro prove that they are more than up to the challenge – this is perhaps an even stronger statement of intent than their earlier joint effort, >distance no object< (blx-2).

will azada is back for his third appearance on proper trax, and his first solo 12 inch, with the appropriately titled strictly heat. drawing from the success of the labels split personalities ii, his collaboration with piltdown sound on the wet feet ep on woods n bass, and >easy does it< on the newly-minted mystical disco imprint, will azada continues to draw attention to his diverse style with three floor-torching cuts on proper-003. from the driven, hands-in-the-air piano house of >pump that shit<, to the queasy chords of the unconventional, yet highly mixable >drunk sequence<, to the relentless, searing arps of >for the floor<, strictly heat is likely to induce near-strokes on dancefloors globally. other info: marbled color vinyl, red jacket, black sleeve, 200 copies available.

it is with great honour that in paradisum welcome sometime border community and traum schallplatten artist ricardo tobar into the label for the fourth chapter in our fledgling story. the esoteric/carnaval ep reveals four tracks that further showcase the chilean producers unerring grasp for electronic music that combines moments of introspection with the unshakeable urge to lose yourself in the moment.
tobar is extending this plunge towards all new uncompromising techno territory from various, equally engrossing angles. pitch the rough hewn mutant beat dance of >esoteric< next to fizzing, acid tainted textures of >recuerdos< or the grinding journey through dantes inferno that is >carnaval< and its easy to see why tobar has been accommodated into the in paradisum fold.

part 3/3! close your eyes and let go. born in hannover daso enchanted us with this track. it is constantly building up until sunrise. this is how we got to know daso when he was playing his first gig at a treibgut getting our guests up and going. in hannover this night is known as the topless-party-animals-night. not many are as familiar with the treibgut sound as mario aureo proving with this tune. a year ago it was all hands up at treibgut but know we set it free to be passionately celebrated at other parties. leave the orchestra in rehearsals – until they have finished we keep on celebrating to the deep bassline for the plane has just landed. moritz approached this tune verytooly. we just remember him setting up stage for the party, ordering pizza and watching football. frieder, our youngest member, never looses the concept of time and spaces but this track has so much atmosphere in it that you can imagine which cloud he is on. the track comes in easy-going leaving you floating to the end

the debut release on poem by neotnas, is set to showcase both the labels outlook and pedigree. the outlook of quality, from the music, to the pressing and artwork, and the pedigree, which is proven in the history of tobias duffner, who ran fauxpas musik, and his choice of upcoming artists already slated to release on poem. neotnas hails from the city of chelyabinsk in russia, and delivers a mature yet fresh ep of deep, well versed grooves. to grant it a genre would narrow the appeal of these tracks, but rest assured those from house or techno backgrounds will both find common ground. these tracks stand out for their almost unearthly feel, and its easy to hear that neotnas are close to the ural mountains, in tracks like kai, or that day, which serve both the head and the feet. the future for poem lies in cultivating new artists as talented as neotnas, to go alongside proven ones, as a list of remix names show how poem will progress: convextion/e.r.p., anton zap, modern stalking and mlz to name a few already at work.
