cuartero has only been producing since 2011, but in just a few short years he has established himself as a global player in the house world. his dj sets are compelling things full of dynamic grooves, and his bulky, robust productions are just as stand out. they come on labels like desolat, hot creations and knee deep in sound, and always make any floor a sweaty, intense place full of free-moving bodies.

zaquoir alias matthias groß is a producer and musician currently living in leipzig. after sending us more than 10 gigabites of great music, we sat down together and tied a selection of his really eclectic styles of production together into one lp, creating some sort of showreel created in the timespan of over 15 years. zaquoir himself sees the record as a reminiscent mood of a donkey in the sardinian sun and describes the record as a trip in itself, allowing the listener to traverse the lines of various acoustic landscapes. the tracks on the lp where produced in six different places, including a historic house in the centre of vilnius, the artist residency blumen in leipzig, a french-german art association and a village in northern bavaria.

so there he sits in the dub basket, vintage desk overloading, space echo waiting for a waveform from tuff scout to dub. out there by the river amidst the ballardian wastelands producing some beat fascilitating the sons of kemet or roisin murphy, mixing micachu or maybe hes just having a nap. a bag of outboard lies at the back, put down from a last away trip with the matthew herbert live expedition. up on the wall in the vinyl rack lies a track back into pre history, remixes, japan, names, places, styles, beats, bands, cages silence and herzog on herzog all the way back to new york mid 80s making tea for krs-1 and learning a trade.

a perfect fusion between deep, soul and jazz elements for the first release of >fides<, the newcomer label growth from the fantasy of his founder z.i.p.p.o. 180g vinyl in anti static sleeve.

the first release comes from label owners lc12, formerly rumore and orphidal, inviting us on a journey into their musical worlds. intensely textured and melodic, these club focused tracks span all things deep and pumping whilst simultaneously lifting the listener to a higher place. backed by a dreamy machine workout remix from leonid, this is the full package.

when the smallville record store was founded in 2005, people were surprised and regarded it as an experiment. everybody discussed the downfall of vinyl sales and the upcoming market of downloads these days. just a bunch of people regarded record shops, vinyl labels and wonderful warm sounding clubs as the places of true magic. smallvilles finest stefan marx, who is responsible for all artwork-related things and therefore the visual impact that smallville always had, got a call once at night from another one of those dreamers and activists, ata macias. he came up with the fabulous idea to create a standard 12inch cover saying: vinyl kills mp3.

for more than a thousand days and nights, nico stojan tapped away at what is now before us as ‘twisted manners’ - his debut album telling stories in sound that are both electronic in nature and human in touch. each organic sounding track on the release, including their neighbouring interludes, graze on the moments, people and cultures which have encompassed the albums journey and brought it forward to what it is today. these inspirations have merged from moody mornings in foreign lands (‘blue hour’) to his love affair with the elements of jazz (‘tortured paper’), to the breezy ways of the pacific island people he connects with so much (‘maori girl’). these diverse cultures and the passing musicians who have importantly contributed to the essence of the album have built strong yet invisible strings with a myriad of voices and instruments which weave throughout the music giving us a piece of work that is both textured in flavour and rich in motive. twisted manners is a clean example of this - house music whose soft open spaces and gentle beats sway easily through analog sounds coming from string quartets, saxophonists and double bass players to name a few. these collaborations and stojan’s guiding ear will walk you right into the dreamy spaces and faraway places of his travels without you breaking a sweat. seasoned with moments stolen under the fading light of day, long trips into the beautiful nothingness of his eclectic surroundings and respect for electronic music that is both timeless and sincere, ursl records is delighted to present stojan s debut album, ‘twisted manners’.

manie sans de&#769,lire is the debut ep of the new collaborative diy electronics project of june and trenton chase. five tracks written and recorded live in studio sessions that took place from january to june of 2015 in london and berlin

last ep ever from this mofo behind the pseudonym oleg poliakov. enjoy this last masterpiece of techno produced straight from his retirement place

after landing his malfunctioning px-4000 on the purple planet, captain dmx steps out of the smoldering cockpit. after barely setting foot on the dusty landscape, the captain is startled by deep thudding from over the hills. dragging his oxygen pack with one hand and his atomizer with the other, he sets off in search of the other-wordly din. over the hill his pupils adjust to the stroboscopic lightning and below him lies a sea of strange creatures moving together as one body. a cosmic sermon takes place under the three suns in the sky, mechanical and stuttered frequencies set a manic pace and drive the dark creatures back and forth. captain dmx sighs a heavy breath and starts to descend into the fray.

the bush is a homage to the place where i have lived for the last decade (askew road). the askew road itself is slowly changing so i wanted to document all the places that play a big part in mine and my families lives before they eventually get sold for more flats or tescos. first up was peckings studio 1 record shop, which has been on this stretch of road since the 1960s. next up is the mighty sun pub which became a local talking point when they sold the place because a sign sat in the window that announced this bup is close.

for the fourth installment in into the lights journey into greek electronic music, we find ourselves transferred to pireus, home place of ambient music composer dimitris petsetakis. with the exception of only one track, endless lp is a collection of previously unreleased material that has remained in petsetakis basement studio for almost 30 years now.

nils frahms late night tales sind eine hypnotische reise durch moderne und klassische komposition, experimentelle elektronik, jazz, dub-techno, filmmusik und soul, gleichsam verstörend wie betörend.

the first vinyl release on abandoned audio, the new sub-label from 31337 records, ezekiel honig‘s ‘a film of string & wood‘ continues his form of refracted, geographically oriented, electroacoustics. sitting in a background of field recordings and incidental real-world objects, textured piano and horns act as cement for chunky, yet subdued rhythms that fall over themselves and snap back into place. warm, looming tonal progressions remain incredibly intimate and focused while retaining an expansiveness of space, a perfect metaphor for honig’s music on the whole – personal and specific while intersecting with something more universal. throughout its five tracks, ‘a film of string & wood‘ stretches and pulls its melodies, weaving them through each blocky snare, each bassy kick drum phrase, with a heart and mind that hearkens to a different time, memory-tinged with a nostalgia for a moment that is yet to pass. pressed on sturdy 180 gram vinyl and featuring artwork/design by ezekiel honig.

organized aside from the science establishment in june 1993 at the californian resort pajaro dunes, in the monterrey bay, a conference that reunited a group of scientists and philosophers around a intelligent design1 took place. but we all know there are other theories about the origin of life on planet earth. the 5th release of the monkey bar comes from the result of the matured and well meditated work from pajaro dune. this complex house ep comes from the same creative minds behind the lontano project but with a distinct approach and sound. this ep is pure obscure deepness with a scent of house, to cap it all we brought the mighty zadig to deliver a techno cosmic wonderful remix. don’t expect a classic, zadig took the path of most resistance and produced an outstanding psychedelic masterpiece.

sometimes you wait and things fall into place, this is an a&r man s dream. you can spend hours banging your head, waiting for lightening to strike, trying to find the perfect pairing, it s there floating around in your head but the answer is not clear. the record needs a remix, but who would be perfect?

limited edition of 400 copies.

limited edition of 320 numbered copies only, presented in a hand-made silk-screen printed cover sleeve. it includes a leaflet.
this record is the only existing document which collects an almost whole concert by kremlyn in their first stage as a duet, in their own essence, that is to say, with no musicians added. it took place in a little disco called *panagal*, on january the 6th 1984, and it was the fifth concert of the group since its creation in 1983. that was kremlyn in itself.

messed up house ep is the right mood s debut on vinyl and for the four tracks on it, house music borrows their foundations. powerful kick drums and bright handclaps make the tight bases that carry lots of musical influences, from distorted guitar amps to brazilian percussion, passing through techno bleeps and minimal noises, all of them, always involved by huge basslines that will put to proof the sound system s capabilities of reproducing low-end frequencies. underground house music has found a place in this bundle. an ep title was never so true!

4 tracks extracted from the lp released in january 2015 in detroit underground records, are pressed in a white vinyl limited edition to be used directly on the dancefloor.
a trip from detroits minimalism, hard, and concise techno that cuts into predefined patterns and creates new boundaries to warm musical spaces in order to accommodate this new way of thinking, those are tools brought here from a future thats already past to define an ep thats a place halfway between detroit and berlin and has been influencied by masters like jeff mills, terrence dixon, surgeon and german minimalism of the 90s.

appropriate to the golden gate club s philosophy and attitude, -its never to late for gate-, ggcr is coming up with cat.002. it took nearly 2 years for this second release, we could also say, better now then never or good things take time, but hey, who cares anyway? to the content, -golden times- is a exclusive various artist collection, trying to reflect the wide spectrum of sound we find in the place. four very different producers with four different tracks but yet a unique vibe. techno, deep house, tech house and electronica goes here very smoothly hand in hand. while only three of them, saytek, midas 104 and elizar & dromme are placed on the vinyl, samuel fach s -technologie- has been added as digital bonus.

opiums latest offering from italian techno impresario destrict offers up intelligent deep journeys culminating in this 6 tracks ep alice hole highlights the artists signature sound by incorporating his trademark analog beats and deep undulating melodics whilst holding a solid break groove. chandni chowk carries the same vibe but pushes the producers sound deeper into self indulgent drum programming that keeps you locked amongst its evolving mood. denis kaznacheev alongside the analogue cops pushed the destrict beats to another level jumping form minimalistic to techno tunnels. re-up and rich nxts appearances bring more straight up dance-floor ready locked-grooves and re-works. again, if your comfort zone is a tunnel opium audio is your safe place.

back by popular demand, we are thrilled to bring you this limited edition re-press of the debut lp by algerian born producer el mahdy jr. pressed on black vinyl, and housed in a heavyweight clear polyvinyl sleeve with download code included.
born in sidi bel abbess, algeria, now living in istanbul, el mahdy jr. is a rising voice in sample based global electronic music. his sonic experiments have grown into a collection of disciplined, well timed musical gestures that confound the expectations of any single genre. splicing devotional music into a blunted blend of half time bass and mystic sound. familiar in its bass weight and its global melt, but completely new and enveloping in its fragility and poise.

the fourth and final edition of schleiben is an extra special one, bringing forth acollaborative project between colin potter of nurse with wound fame, not waving artist alessio natalizia and brain machine s guido zen. furthermore the series ties with dusseldorf remain, as osnabruck based producer niklas rehme-schluter lines the flip with the beautiful ambient touches of his cass project. the two part efforts from potter, natalizia and zen offer a perfect marriage of methods, with percussion hinting at and techno, while the constant drone influx and disintegration grab your attention, overlapping with rhythmic repetition deeper and deeper. the cass contributions see tracks from the german artists cassette only hiding place album presented on vinyl for the first time and fit snugly into the sonic ethos explored over the previous schleiben releases

the next release on first music comes from profile with a beautiful picture cover! its a musical journey and a bomb tool for the upcoming summer months! we doubt that estonian-born artist viive kuks could imagine in 1984 that her euau-forte >viljandi vaade< (trnl. view of viljandi) will be on the record sleeve of a dubtechno record in 2015. moreover, that the birthplace of the music is also viljandi and that the graphics plate was stolen during turbulent times when a lot of countries were liberated. it was quite an off-chance and hard to believe that profile found a copy of the work at his grandparents place, framed and photographed the work for his 2nd vinyl release. and here it is, through countless threads and connections, through the memories of our forefathers. pure liberation.

returning to hakt after his 2013 single n1, cale parks continues to chart a compelling new path with the lagoon fool ep, his second foray into solo production. as the current drummer for yeasayer and a prolific collaborator both in studio and live, cale’s creativity knows no genre. the five tracks on offer sneak from the beaten path, complicating signifiers of style, gently tweaking the standard grammar of club music, and remaining accessible all the while. assembled in his brooklyn studio, but sonically sourced from his grandparents’ tennessee farm, lagoon fool carries that sublime, somehow inviting ethos of the appalachian range. airy and tectonic at once, impeccably detailed, yet easily taken as a whole, it’s a rich, deceptively layered listen. as a skilled songwriter and a produce quickly proving his caliber, cale has composed a suite that demands multiple listens and a place at peaktime just the same

polish resident lutto lento follows up his debut 12inch for charles drakefords ftd label with this 6 track ep whips for where to now? records. luttos sound places him as quite a unique figure in modern electronic music, showing a fearless work ethic in shrouding his productions in saturated tape loops, and achieving what is certainly a low-fi quality to his sound, lutto manages to never let this lo-fi edge take centre stage, instead this expertly crafted process of tape cutting and looping provides the backdrop to luttos exuberantly crafted yet absolutely dance floor orientated drum work.

on their 2013 debut album voyage, l.a. duo de lux introduced their singular sound, a fusion of post-punk, disco, funk and synth wizardry. fun though voyage was, described by the guardian as -intricate, witty, inventive, dazzling and by dj mag as fresh, immediate, for their follow-up, de lux felt compelled to add an element of social commentary to the mix.

revisiting the artists that started it all, the odd boys return to sol asylum for another full length ep on the label. bringing their known flavor of funk and all things odd, we are happy to present the seventh release on sol asylum filled with >cosmic energy<. vortex shows the boys fine tuned producing skills and showcases their well-developed expertise with analog production techniques to create futuristic sounds. the elegant track takes us to a far off place with traveling basslines and glimmering synths with just enough dirt recorded from their analog tape to get that distinctive odd sound. taking us back to ancient egypt with pyramid we are taken into a thought forming incubator of divine cosmic landscapes with swinging razor blade hats, pulsating synth lines, rolling techno grooves and their signature tweaked percussion. finishing off this planetary trip through the odd galaxy with sphere, we are orbited into an emotional realm with alluring pads that are accompanied by arpeggiated synth lines that levitate you to a state of bliss.

whats the definition of a treasure? something precious hidden in a safe place by a king maybe? double lp - 3 sides of music with an etched 4th. stunning stuff. offen music begin their journey. big tip!

mkfn return to touchin bass after last years *substrate ep* with their latest offering, *this divide ep*. through a sustained and methodical exploration of studio techniques, the trio of babar raza (us), ovais hassan (uk) and fahad ahmad (canada) continue to refine and evolve their signature sound. manipulated sounds accent the meticulous rhythms to form the foundation upon which this release is defined. over the course of these four tracks, mkfn create a sense of place inviting listeners to traverse landscapes that exist independent of any singular perception or experience.

slowmotion is born from a collaboration between hakim murphy and vince noog. noog has been rocking more on the techno tip over the years with releases on his label, but when the collaboration took place, beat-down feels appeared causing some house jams to develop. the ep is called beats from lugdunum, but why? lugdunum is the old school name for lyon and the surrounding areas, and these tunes were conceptualized, composed, and beated right there.

in this second acid act, the artists xerosorex and sour, lead us in one of the place that much have characterized the scene of the freeparty: the abandoned plant. in this foundry, between production waste, tangled sheets and shrubs risen between cement, theatmosphere is dark and enthralling. night has fallen for a long and strobe slow down even more movements, but the groove is pressing and acid lines steal minds.
