every place, in which the human being lives, imposes you to choose. we are continually bombed by voices that try to check us and more our mind digs in the depth of own heart, more we hear the necessity to go over the barriers that are built. this way we are and so we will stay. we walk in a crowd of voices and we are continually looking for a something that can maintain us hungry and rebellious against our bossy ego.

amongst the mortals with its syncopated rhythm and eerie background sounds takes you on a slow walk among the mortals for sure and is nothing for the faint hearted. daughters of the everfire is yet another sinister track from valanx and with its hard bass sound beating the rhythm it takes you on a trip to the dark side. daughters of the everfire (yves de mey remix) is a strong rhythmic track were yves has pulled out all his skills of the hat to rearrange valanx original version.

we are the ones with the courage to stand up and express our ideas. so many heroes have sold out, moved on, and turned their back on the detroit underground. if the true believers are waiting on the calvary then i guess cryovac will have to do. this is our fight whether we like it or not. we are a few like minds, not the alphas, never the favorites. we are the other guys, the ones nobody bets on, the least likely to survive a business. we know what the score will bring us, but there is an appointment and we mean to keep it. heroes must define themselves and then redefine themselves. each day that moves forward brings opportunities to tweak creations into what the now means. kieth kemp endures the elements and ailments of an ever changing electronic world. he is an original hero with a smooth technique that reflects an instinctual nderstanding of sound and soul. kieth represents a talent and spirit that does not falter no matter how strange a circumstance can get. he follows his own path to relavence. i am proud to welcome kieth to the cryovac machine.

following the release of *everything hits*, his debut album for rush hour recordings, this eps three tracks are among the most unique and charming expressions of policys already eccentric aesthetic. let the title track prowl through soundsystems, stabbed with cavernous horns and dogged by the most infectious woodblock in recent memory. employ the ebullient *walk up* to add some fizz with dizzy organ riffs and jaunty brass notes. or perhaps conjure a reflective mood with the tensely plucked bass lines, bittersweet melodies, and live percussion of *thick nostalgia*.

shoot the lobster is a new house and techno label from nyc. the first release is a split 12 inch and features grayson revoir and max mcferren, both djs and producers from nyc. side one is two tracks by grayson, spackle is driving bass cabinet garage, and get stolen is spacey sweaty acid. on side side b max mcferren delivers rusty smokey hard bassline panorama-ready house on one on all times (walk track).

for all egypt and acid lovers here is the release: walk on acid dunes, follow the arabian moon. the combination of acid, vocoder, electro, deep chords and oriental melodies.

autumn days are coming quite near and with >jahreszwei< – an ambient tape by berlin based artist the marx trukker – we deliver the soundtrack for that more thoughtful time of the year. as the 4-track ep is put together chronological (starting with the track that was produced last), the a-side is more dark and dusty (roughly produced beginning of autumn with an electric bass, an old portastudio and loads of forbidden recording-techniques) while the b-side shines a bit brighter and lighter (produced digital end of summer, concentrating on the dave smith evolver synthesizer only). so take a walk through a forest next to you and enjoy the beautiful autumn-nature while having >jahreszwei< on your ears!

scorcher! brilliant, brimful and prodigal twenty-minute ep from manuel gonzales in detroit (following up collaborations with kyle hall). deadly sick, ambient and stepping by turns. highly recommended.

the new album by akiko kiyama, consisting of 2 vinyl records, has become the long-awaited debut for nervmusic records, to at once fully demonstrate the musical philosophy and vector of the label. deviation is not just a random selection of tunes, but a whole theatre act, made of sound patterns and melodies, a fantastic journey into a subspace of inner images and memories.

dva started off hyperdubs barrage of albums in 2012 with his brilliant >pretty ugly<, and now closes the the year with the >fly juice< eps bumper selection of machine tooled tracks, each created for optimum dancefloor damage and road tested by dva, kode9 and a select bunch of djs. these tracks are a brilliant example of what he has been describing as power house for a while, a colourful chunky techno sound that switches up every 8 bars like grime and has plenty of shuffle and offbeat swing as a counterpoint to the 4/4 drums.

manhattan 85 is a funk driven affair of disco-led house. dabbling in a melange of sounds from classical strings to techno bleeps and vocal samples, the build-up to some complex layering is arranged seamlessly into feel-good, tuneful house that will lift any room.

junk yard connections have the honor to release ben morris >gissningsleken< & >flickorna gar for paris< (the guessinggame & the girls walk for paris). two tracks recorded some years ago ... now they are finally here as hardware, to stay as the micro-epos they are. a lovely artwork created by leo lyxxx. handstamped 7 inch in a limited edition of 300 copies, as usual with junk yard connections: no repress.

unlucky for some but not it seems you or us, dot013 comes comprised of a hat trick of deep and sultry, some would say rnb flavoured slow jams, made for those sexier evenings when you feel the urge to want to nod your head, wine your body and give those hips something of a work out as opposed to just pointing haphazardly to the sky whilst hopping between legs and occasionally pulling your best ooooh listen to that bass line face. though those evenings clearly have their place as well.

support by noir, sascha braemer, tiger stripes, m.in etc. while its getting colder outside, miyagi sends us beautiful melodies for the autumn. you will bet! but such as love the new rennbahn has got a lot more to offer! weird world is a dreamy & floating deep house track, which will levitate you over the dance floor. warm melodies combined with a heavy bass line make sure to catch the mind of the people. the remix of jaxson & david keno let disappear your thoughts in the straight beat and the floating and hypnotizing bass rhythm! this remix is anything but weird. on the b-side, medusa is waiting for you with deep sounds and a beautiful piano chord in order to take you on a journey through her walk of fame. dont you dare to look at her cause her dreadful sight will turn you into stone. with oliver schories remix you will discover an interplay between deep basses and beautiful highs accompanied by his typical piano sounds which finally come together to one gorgeous climax at the end of the track.

praterei returns with their 5th instalment and so do those twins with their second successive offering to the vienna stable! the ingredients on this one are similar to the last but the result is no less stirring. the rough and ready side of the 12 belongs to the aptly entitled >house< and youll see why. never straying too far from the old school... shuffling beats and rims keep things swinging. each layer of the melody is deep in youll be whistling this later territory and intermittent vocal shouts remind us exactly what it is we are listening to. the flip beckons for you to walk with me and that you must. the beat saunters along but always with a sanguine skip and our seductive protagonist guides us through the warm textures of rich pads and stabs. this is one of those records where, for both tracks, the message could not be more perfectly translated. every aspect contributes to a common goal, and thats a rare and quite special thing.

after inaugurating the visionquest label with the now canonical where the freaks have no name - an ep whose a-side anthem, walk and talk, inundated the dance music world with a lovelorn soulfulness benoit & sergio return to the throne of visionquest with new ships, the more beautiful younger sister to their debut.

bodi bill - what remixes (apparat & thomalla) in 2011, there was no way to get around bodi bill - and it will continue in 2012. right on time for summer, the band releases two exciting remixes of their hit-single what on their own label krakatau. luminary apparat and young talent thomalla have chosen the smoothest and breeziest track of the album to rework it with verve and experimentiveness. the tracks differ considerably, and yet there are parallels between both artists: they share a vision, an affinity for progressiveness and audible enthusiasm in each track. apparat - who released his very successful album the devils walk in 2011 - breathes autumnal coolness and depth into this summery number.the result is thrilling, unexpected and spine-tingling. thomalla also rejects construction kit primetime-techno and shows his remarkable talent in two very unlike versions of what. with his overwhelming desire to experiment and discover, he created tracks to dance to, that move beyond the typical minimum radius. this record gathers pop and electronic avant-garde: the record-label and artists wanted to fathom the boundaries of rhythmics and harmony - and they clearly succeeded. here, two exceptional musicians show their vision of electronic dance music, enthralling, fascinating and exciting!

jason little teams up with the mighty svetec for this beast of an ep on the infamous jasons mask imprint. pounding hardtechno is what you want and you will get it! featuring remixes by sandy warez and instigator. not to be missed!

with >dazed<, senking continues his exploration of the abysses of sound to create dark and gloomy atmospheres. the slow beats of the two tracks are accompanied by tender, harmonic melodies, but broken by nervous, unsteady tones which seem to be a warning against hidden dangers. the first track >the dance hall walk< also features a vocal sample by micheal cramm - a text which reflects the nervousness and excitement in anticipation of some thrilling things to come. like >tweek<, senkings last ep, >dazed< is not only concerned with the depths of sound, but also with the depths of the human psyche, where there is no escape other than music itself.

180gr vinyl!! bjak and dubbyman team up to become twin beats on the latters deep explorer imprint. this is the pairs first collaborative release, but their studio chemistry is there for all to see as the first few bars of >do it properly< ease out through your speakers. its floaty, jazz-flecked house bathed in pools of gently rippling bass tones, and things are given a sophisticated edge by the adroit vocals of brian cullen. this shares the a-side with the slightly more upbeat >water walk with me<, with cullen matching marvin belton in the modern day soulful crooner stakes. flip over for a remix of the title track from - gulp - larry heard, with the chicagoan legend turning in a typically sumptuous slice of machine soul that naturally hogs the vast majority of the b-side, before an excellent ep is rounded off by a beatless outro

200 ever made. hand made unique covers wrapped, in cellophane envelopes. pressure lost: a sci-fi novel in eight chapters about loss of pressure. in a part of the world where there are no rules, deep in the jungle where nothing that lives is safe, a mysterious artifact has been uncovered. nothing like it has ever been on earth before. it comes from the future, the thing that wont die, in the nightmare that wont end. your future is in his hands. once you go in, you dont come out... nature won is the collaborative project of rasmus mobius and morten bang larsen. rasmus mobius has previously released two albums, as half of melk in 2005, and his solo effort >medicine walk< from 2006, both on statler & waldorf. on this new full-length, morten and rasmus has crafted a new sound, like a tv tuned into a dead channel and the rainbow reflection of a laserdisc.

vanguard sound is back with its newest record. chris mitchells phrenetic ep is vanguard sounds second release. coming on the heels of the wildly popular vanguard sound vol. 3, this ep continues to uphold the aesthetic created with the first release, while simultaneously expanding it. the phrenetic ep features four tracks from the mind and studio of a quickly rising north american talent that all walk the fine line between house and techno. all are very complex rhythmically, with both banging drums, and lush tones. a perfect 3 way marriage of classic chicago, detroit, and new york vibrations, the record contains set peaks, as well as transitional tracks that allow djs to traverse from house to techno and back. already receiving massive amounts of positive feedback, this ep is proving to be a more than worthy follow up to vs001.

its a great honour for us to be able to present conrad schnitzlers last work. only a few days before he passed away last august, he created this unique, almost 70 minutes long work. 36 parts mixed into each other create a walk through his entire work. this record is not only for fans of conrad schnitzler. its like a trip through 40 years of electronic music. conrad schnitzler once more shows how strong his influence has marked young artists like emeralds and oneohtrix point never. wihtout his solo works and his projects kluster, tangerine dream and eruption electronic music wouldnt be the same. the tracks on the vinyl edition are in the order sides a,c,b,d. this allows you to make your own mix of this big work.

the first release for their rogue cat sounds imprint is the >no stress express!<, a beautiful piece of swampy psychedelic disco/rock. the 11min original takes you on a dark ethereal adventure thru spiky guitar riffs, mutant brass stabs, melting warm fender rhodes piano, silky deep synth chords, an array of sexy afro percussion, heavy dub live bass, and a lush but eerie live string section which all comes on like a dinosaur l jam session via a david mancuso loft party! so go on and take a walk on the rogue side of town baby!

steyoyokes second release truly shows the labels love for eloquent and surprising house music. the labels second release by their own dahu comes in strong with an atmospheric ep called >deep in the woods<, two crisply produced tracks likely to arouse the senses. berlin-based dahu describes his music as >atmospheric house with delicate melodies and bass-driven sound< and with this, his first release on steyoyoke, he certainly stays true to his word. craftily blending a shuffling percussion with a resonating lead, dahu creates a hypnotic journey reminiscent of rustling leaves and a walk through a dark wood at night. an exciting and atmospheric ep from dahu provides a solid second release for berlins newest imprint: steyoyoke records.

re-release! melodies and words are in faccinis bones and his finely crafted songs resonate with traces of his ancestry. if his songs were maps they would stretch from the english moors to the saharan dunes via the parched plains of the mediterrannean before spanning the atlantic ocean all the way to the mississippi delta. for piers, recording albums means surrounding himself with old friends, people he can talk music with, true accomplices, fellow souls who share a common vision. a soulful and expressive singer/songwriter whose music fuses folk, acoustic blues, and west african textures.
