bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk

nice price deal !!! charted by reboot !! niveous records proudly presents the first split ep with massive bangers by max piske and marquese, who built a tag team for this release. already played by robert dietz, ray okpara, livio& roby, alex celler, boris werner and many more

mr konfuze & lunatic as known from manmade feature funk and for their sureshot track >on the beatbox< come again with their first extended player! employing the original techniques and artform of sampling they bring the bomb track >dont wanna lose it< in two different versions for your dancing pleasure.
mixing uplifting disco piano, slamming breakbeats, electro-synth, funky rhodes, and pop vocals to create a catchy sound chopped up inna hiphop style - familiar to anybody and outstanding at the same time.

murmur return with a brace of killers, their first new material since mean 011s split release with bovill back in 2008. over the course of the half dozen years since beginning their meanwhile imprint, murmurs output has been so sparing, evanescent, and epitomising the labels low-key approach to steppers house music and horizontal techno with an implicit electronic beatdown sound, that acknowledges their pitched down sound, so heavily influenced by their early south african adventures and exploits.

a twinkle, a spark, and there you have it. many will say they saw it coming. at some point you could no longer ignore the signs, and actually youd suspected it all along: glamour is back in the club. berlin has become what new york was in 1981 and aÚrea negrot is the eartha kitt of the post-techno age. as part of hercules & love affair, perhaps the most enigmatic disco-ball band of the present day, the venezuelan disco diva has tackled issues of gender code through a four-four discourse and convinced the world that a slick performance under a strobe light can outdo than anything that has appeared in the light of day. now - as a taste of whats to come on her album next year - she is releasing her first ep on bpitch...

originally recorded between 1974 and 1978 at industrial records studio in london >the space between< album was first released as a 90 minute cassette in 1980 on throbbing gristles industrial records label. it wasnt until 1991 that it was again released by mute records on cd. although tracks from >the space between< have appeared on numerous compilations since its release, the album has never been available on vinyl until now.

ikonika & optimum are proud to introduce their highly anticipated new venture: hum + buzz records. this double a side debut release is right at the centre of the current uk crossover, post-genre sound. first up, >aqueous cream< explores a different sound to the one ikonika delivered on her recent hyperdub debut album. a dancefloor ready track with smooth sub bass, staccato piano chords, trademark emotive synth-leads, underpinned by tough kicks, sizzling hi-hats and ricochet snares. on side aa, >ampersand< marks ikonika & optimums first official collaboration. layers of synth melodies float above a steady four/four pulse and unpredictable claps. an angular, broken, melodic march at a house tempo.

brand new boka records in a double-barrelled month for the label, swiftly following on from the innasekt 12 inch, matt-u & riskotheque pop up with easily their biggest tune on the scene >guillotine growl< another one from the archives that has been knocking around on dubplate for a while, big worldwide dj support for a tune with one of the sickest hooks around, menacing and ugly bizness! on the flip matt-u gets his deep, dark roller head on for >double blind< a tune first showcased on the mary anne hobbs radio 1 show, arguably his finest solo output to date making this an insta-bagga release!

>listenin to the records on my wall<, the first single from skreams second album on tempa - the much anticipated and highly acclaimed >outside the box< - has long been in demand and is now finally being released on vinyl. >listenin to the records on my wall< is the perfect introduction to why skreams current level of success is just the beginning. its a joyful, ragingly energetic celebration of the last quarter decade of british street music, inspired by the hardcore and jungle records used by his older brother hijak who was part of grooverider<s internatty crew. its also a brilliant pop record that makes perfect sense to everyone who grew up surrounded by the breaks and beats of the 1990s ? and to those who didnt.

if there is a driving motive at the heart of gavin russoms latest project, the crystal ark, it is to create music that communicates and compels physicality and movement. a listen to the projects first single, aptly named >the city never sleeps<, reveals a track as tireless as the title suggests, and russom as a visionary who crafts invocations to move. with his second release under the crystal ark moniker, russom is just as focused on eliciting movement, but deftly avoids repeating himself. unlike its hypnotic predecessor, which slow burned and subtly seduced listeners to physically respond, >the tangible presence of the miraculous< is explicit in its urgings û a composition of nakedly energetic and urgent inducements to dance.

not many single releases can be labelled as events, especially not in the ever homogenised techno world, but the first single from model 500 in eleven years, and the first recorded by the new band line up is most definitely an event.
