something of a departure into uncharted territory for ostgut ton on the fiftieth single release of the label. following berghains hugely sucessful art exhibition alle which showcased the many visual artists among the members of staff at berghain/panorama bar, ostgut ton shows they cannot be pinned down easily to one genre by offering their anniversary release to two artists of the extended ostgut family who normally wouldnt be associated with what you might have come to expect from the label. shambhu the undisputed queen of the berghain bar ladies (she regulary holds court every saturday upstairs at her very own gitter bar) and rummelsnuff the germanic hulk of the berghain/laboratory bouncers come up with enchanting and surprising results. the release comes pressed as a 7 inch (a first for the label and limited to 500 hand-numered copies) and each side is given to one of the two artists.

art department are back on the mothership crosstown to kick off 2012 in lurid style with a slice of slow burning, chugging disco-tech and pendulum beats in new single >touch you gently<. the b-side is taken care of with a powerful brenann green rework of >tell me why<, from the much lauded album >the drawing board<.

very strong release with the boogie / slomo-house groover >hope< and the irresistable hook and dub/disco feel of the more uptempo >no delay<. excellent production, this will stir up things for sure. winner!

the debut that started it all! ugly but honest is a collection of songs (some four-tracked, some demos) from 1996-1999. this was the first release from carissas wierd, originally put out by brown records in 2000. this limited vinyl version is a double lp on opaque baby blue marbled vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve. all lps include a download code.

saobi records is back with a new ep, containing three excellent tracks on another classic deep house release, mixing together different forms and styles of music, trying to not have a precise musical genre but experimenting always new sounds!

a1: melodies & claps b1: deep chords & claps b2: bass & claps conclusion? art of vengeance/ we make it clap.

dies ist rollende, funky, sexy und wunderschöne sonnenuntergangs-musik! oldschool rap in einer schwül-modernen boogie art, bearbeitet und angereichert mit joashs himmlischen disco streichern. seine musik mischt dancefloor sounds und jazz-rhythmen mit orchestralen arrangements. das ergebnis ist eine tiefe und schöne klanglandschaft voller strings, komplexer drum-patterns und atmosphärischer elektronik.

the producer behind these mind-blowing slabs of heavyweight disco-funk perfection was one jp source, an exile from the geordie ibiza (that will be blackpool) and geordie mecca (erm, newcastle) now living out in the sticks in the states, far from home. the eps title, >get your bearings<, is reference to his struggles to come to terms with his new surroundings.
three tracks, all tried and tested, all disco dynamite. since he sent us these killer edits, jp source has begun to pick up interest elsewhere. he recently released an excellent ep of original material on audio parallax and has material forthcoming on edit, zzr and art star records. we reckon he has got a big future. all the more reason to >get your bearings< and dive into his bedmo disco debut…

in 2011 some berlin based recordshops try to reclaim the streets with the so called >record store day< for the first time in germany. also kann was asked for a limited vinyl to support their concern. on that specific occasion we bring a new two track ep except for the regular series. kann rsd breaks ranks with an extra beautiful edit of the awesome witchwaver sunglitters, composited by nuremburgs essay. b-side builts back the bridge to the label and gives finally >aperture< from sevensol & bender the appropriate space. the track was originally released on kann00 in 2008. for the artwork kann is pretty happy to won over famed – a chummy art collective – for doing an impressing independent work.

a return to vr from ben sun, who delves into deeper territory on the original cut, emotive analogue synths washing over a roland drum groove and a swirling female vocal, all underpinned by a warm, rumbling bassline. the flipside features some heavyweight remix work from the prolific deep space orchestra (use of weapons, art, delusions of grandeur) and label mate tyson ballard teaming up with vincenzo (poker flat, dessous). vincenzo and ballards mix is a heavy hitting, moody take on the original, with subtle, dark strings and a growling, evolving bassline, while dso round off the release with trademark fat drums and soaring melodic synth work.

surely with forward-looking ambitions, serbian fellow dejan milicevic drops his debut album trust and the purpose with style,non-compromisingly showing us how electronic music has no limits, only heart and soul is needed. he throws a good example how to gather different genres and styles into one great peace of art, one that certainly cant resist giving in without touching our heart.

the team is back: art of fighters & endymion strike again with some fresh tunes!

already support from pezzner, jimpster, peter kruder, funk d void, roberto rodriguez, stevie sole ...

we met fred ventura in 2006 over emails sent to italians do it better headquarters. he was one of the first people from europe to start writing the label prior to after darks release. it took us a few months to realize that this was fred ventura, the cult italo legend from milan. like a true gentleman, he had never bothered to mention it. since the early 1980s fred ventura has released numerous singles in europe & toured the world extensively as a solo artist. last year, johnny was in bologna on tour with desire & fred came out to the show to drink champagne & bring us some copies of the reissued tapes of fred’s early post punk group state of art. the lightbulb lit up & we asked him if he had any home recordings of his solo work. months later, he sent us 83 tracks of cassette recordings between 1982 & 1987. they had been sitting upstairs in a dusty box at his parents house in italy for the last 25 years. these tracks have only been heard by a handful of his closest friends. we were completely floored & honored! finding a beautiful treasure completely untouched & preserved is so rare. the songs are raw & honest written by a romantic with a love for an anthemic chorus & a drum machine running through his veins. think early minimal depeche mode with an italian heart. ornew order covering madonna produced moroder. yes, its that good. here we have the first official italians do it better release of these songs on a 4 song 12inch ep. this vinyl only release is a teaser for the >dont give up< 18 track lp out in a couple of months. so in the meantime, slip on those gucci loafers, rev up the alfa romeo and head down to the discotheque because life is too short

somewhere between center parcs in nottingham and the white sandy perfection of formentera reside two men dedicated to the art of horizontal dancing. their mums call them ampo and timm (funny names, those notts lads), though we know them by their collective name of coyote. in their minds eye, it is still 1986 and there are leathery looking germans with alarming posing pouches dancing to simply red records on the shimmering terrace at ku club while down the road alfredo is building his legendary reputation at amnesia. apart from the clued-up few, most of the brits are billeted in san antonio where the beers are cheap and the sunburn is plentiful. coyotes music, despite being produced in the east midlands conjures up a world of sun, sea and 80s glamour, while still sounding very much like today.

limited edition high quality re-release on blue vinyl of this classic 1983 album by the art of noise.

after a longer break berliner frank mueller and london based ulrich schnauss have surfaced from their studio labyrinth to present the beroshima longplayer >polyphonication<. following a string of eps and remixes the fourth beroshima album was long overdue! it continues to explore the stylistic frame defined by the recent successful releases on cocoon, soma and mueller records and yet manages to surpass the expectations set by these skilfully crafted productions. beroshima defy genre boundaries and incorporate a wide range of sonic colours out of a studio filled with current and vintage equipment whilst also drawing from long term experience on the live and dj circuit. ten tracks that deliver state of the art dance music with more than just a touch of funk which never lose the spirit of exploration

ever since the visionary 2010 debut >without you<, art department have been shaking the music community to the molten core with their psychedelic, bass driven unique take on electronic music. crosstown rebels now presents one of the most lauded tracks from their recent opus >the drawing board<, heralded by many as album of the year, with exemplary remixes from caribous daphni and the legendary dj harvey. >we call love< feat. soul clap & osunlade is a deviant classic for the futuristic age.

savor musics second 12 inch release follows a rockin record by papol and ekkohaus. we are proud to present today some raw future classics that will quite simply tear the floor into pieces. lucas mari is a hard to catch butterfly that spreads his subtle wings on few carefully selected projects. a resident of the city of rosario in argentina, lucas mari appeared occasionally on the very fine argentine label greener, german imprint stock 5 and on us labels adjunct and airdrop. in true early 90s chicago fashion, the two original cuts feature some serious drum machine action, building a sturdy way to allow for some exquisite chord relief to flourish. gez varley, absolutely stunned by listening to the originals, decided to contribute to the release with a simple and hypnotic remix that only he, the one and only g-man has the recipe for.

deep space orchestra have been carving out a very nice name for themselves over the past year, and alongside the likes of cottam and krl it&#700,,,s safe to say that they are helping to establish an exciting new movement of raw, detroit-inspired house. the diy approach is very much a part of their ethic, as is the underground feel and aesthetic which imbues their own use of weapons label as well as their recent releases on similarly minded vinyl-orientated labels such as foto and kirk degiorgio&#700,,,s legendary art. the release we have here is perhaps their most refined music yet, showing a development in their production level on two tracks which are brimming with a warmth and fatness whilst retaining that critical raw edge which only a handful of the most exacting producers seem capable of. lo pan builds around a fat, bouncing bass line and a brilliantly lilting groove created by straight 808 hats and shuffling shakers. the feel keeps shifting throughout the song, sometimes superswung, sometimes straight and driving, all the while simple detroit strings build and analogue arps are layered up building the tension in the arrangemen

the opening track from the debut simon baker album was always going to be a strong choice to be the first single. no pressure has received unanimous praise since the albums release and is back with new remixes by art department and simon himself. its rare to get great stand out vocal tracks that dont split opinion, but this seems to be one of them. its slick, deep house of the highest calibre with a stand out hooky vocal from debukas. art department, owners of ras number one track of 2010 drop a superb remix, adding new vocals and teasing debukas back into the mix for a pretty special, hypnotic workout. simons >upstate dub< mix finishes things off. it aims things directly at the dancefloor in his signature, deep and twisting style.

kicking off 2011 with a killer e.p. is our favourite artist art bleek featuring a number of remixes from the new art supplies album released on loungin this month plus some fresh cuts exclusive to this release. starting the e.p. is a floor filling remix of clap your hands by our own trevor loveys. the original has been out for a few months in the blogosphere and has been picking up some heavy props. next up is hold it (a little longer) where art shows off his true talent of the master of the musical groove with a rolling bass and a choppup vocal lick to keep the party rocking. flip over to side b and you would be excused if you thought someone had swapped the record out for a disco classic. with vox by noelle scaggs and a harmony that nile rodgers would be proud of arthur creates a boogie classic that is very much flavour of the moment. following on is an exclusive remix of the hunt dance featuring the unmistakable voice of ursula rucker. the original on art supplies has had such amazing reactions that we all thought it would be hard to better it, but again arthur has done it delivering a groover for the heads. finally is right on featuring l.as finest charlie sputnik. art delivers a more techy grove to this classic which is a sound he is becoming more recognised for which contrasts so will with charlies trademark smooth vocals.

the winter saga continues… this being the second release on art of vengeance, aril takes yet another turn in style, or rather back to the sound of the winter ep that was released on kompakt in 2007. the title track is is a journy in melodies built in layers, trying to fit as much melodies in one track without going over the line. maybe it is over the line? tundra is a bit more on the rough side but with arps and chords coming in and out while glacär/for minou strips things down a bit to a more bassier and warmer sound with string/chords, less melodies and more groove

tolles remix-paket mit vier tracks aus dem neuen robert owens-album >art<, das in zusammenarbeit mit larry heard, atjazz, show-b und beanfield entstanden ist. die remixe der vier tracks kommen von steve bug, dj le roi, migumatix sowie tom taylor (20:20 vision) und gareth whitehead.

just close your eyes and listen to these three lush compositions, while your imagination paints brilliant abstract visuals deep in the alleys of your mind. keeping consistent with the previous ten aesthetic audio releases, the formula for this new gem remains an uncompromising plethora of very raw substance, innovation, and timeless music that will clearly stand on it own amongst deep dance aficionados across the globe. deep roots: begins this journey with this intense and twisted deep banger that is simply a dancers dream. thumping drums and melodic string arrangements get things jumping as you are very quickly taken to your special place. the dark symphony: is a sinister and grimy yet gorgeous piece of work all at the same time. lush chords and dark electronic sculptures spark an imaginary sense of euphoria as the art of dance holds your body ransom. climates: captures the sheer art and raw essence of deep underground dance. this dark beauty continues to build until your body renders itself to the rhythm, and then ultimately it fades … leaving a beautiful memory on the canvass in your mind.

a full length lp by ruins, an italian electro-wave duo. ruins formed in mestre in 1978 with the intention of experimenting with electronic devices and mixed media. they mainly created music out of self-expression without any intention of joining the mainstream. interested in multimedia, they had a strong visual aesthetic apparent via their album art, videos and projections. its where italo meets minimal wave. the -fire- videos are a must-see in order to grasp the full effect of the song, check out the first version here and rare second version here. the lp entitled -the art dance- features a collection of songs recorded between 1980-1984, some previously released, others never released before pressed on 180 gram vinyl and housed in a lovely hand-numbered glossy gatefold jacket lined with the bands history and photos, and accompanied by a lyrics insert sheet. tip!

slamming three track ep, first track afro acid is a raw, noise (distortion effects) and dirty sounding with live feeling, not made for high fidelity people, really really raw... flipside is more for deep & jackin house lovers, especially b2 (freedom) is just a deep house masterpiece

fine art with another piece of sultry nu-disco/house. this time its londons capracara (aka jonathan burnip), who has had outstanding releases on dfa and soul jazz. this vinyl only release of panic beats includes (beside the original version of course) a sweet previously unrelease remix from diskjokke, one of those hot producers from oslo (like prince thomas, lindstrom). diskjokke just had his second album out on smalltown supersound but found time to deliver this sweet remix job. comes with two endless loops in the run out groove. fine art is on a great run with this cool 10... vinyl only

one off is a 10 inch coloured vinyl series for amp-art artists to release a one off track anonymously, under no name. this means anything goes and the only identification will be a number. future releases on the label will come from linkwood and cottam so that gives you an indiction of the kind of quality we have here. first up on the one off series we have an unnamed but acclaimed producer who delivers this stunning piece of electronic funk.

after the real thing ep, arthur pochon a.k.a art bleek is coming back on sharivari with four deep and funky tracks. from alright and its straight and dynamic bassline, to the broken style beats of deep hop, full of percussions and jazzy grooves, and closing the ep with the wild and hypnotising hi-hats of traces & dust, the immigrant ep proves that the parisian producer is still one of the ambassadors of the french deep techno scene.

january 2011 marks the 5th anniversary of the label and to celebrate there will be two very special releases, the first of which brings together new killer remixes of tsuba classics. the one and only sebo k remixes nina kraviz & okain creating a true peak time house bomb. arto mwambe deliver an atmospheric acid mix of label boss kevin griffiths and art department live up to the hype with a synth driven mix of dyed soundorom. all in all a fitting package to celebrate part one of a very special birthday!,

one chord to rule them all! deetron, octave one & jori hulkkonen put their hands on some brikha classics!!! in 1998 aril brikha reacquainted the world with deep techno soul, as his record groove la chord crossed generic boundaries.

12inch full of music with a definite sense of place. eerie synthesiser pulses, funk-infused drums and languid guitar-scapes have been part of the musical topology of düsseldorf since the early seventies: and this particular release pays full tribute to that legacy, with jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag) comprising an eerie piece of swampy lazer-forest rock. this sound is also a modern day staple of düsseldorfs nightlife at the salon des amateurs, a small bar attached to the kunsthalle art gallery that is an oasis of hypnotic disco nightmares. the salon is where der räuber und der prinz made their first live appearance in 2008 (when the original composition for moogwalzer was debuted), and both members of the band frequently play there: ralf beck with his bodyrocking club act unit 4 and sebastian as half of art-rock duo noblesse oblige. meanwhile two of the guests on this release - detlef weinrich also known as toulouse lowtrax, contributing words about a ghostly maiden on moogwalzer, and thomas klein contributing drums to jagd auf den hirsch - are both original members of the quintessential düsseldorf act kreidler. salon dj resident vladimir ivkovic also had a hand in the creative clarion call for the jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag). to complete the circle, düsseldorfs new resident and desolat mainstay guti wrote his remix in the middle of the night in buenos aires, as a kind of letter to his new home-to-be. there we have it: a true tribute to a city we love, with tracks for the dancefloor as well as moments of melancholic contemplation.

limited 12 release taken from the fabrice lig s genesis of a deep sound album with a beautiful sven weisemann remix. beautiful deep dusty techno tracks. only for the real vinyl connaisseurs!
