mit precious veröffentlicht till von sein sein zweites solo-album. schon aus dem albumtitel lässt sich der wert des materials für dessen urheber ablesen. -precious- darf man als aufarbeitung früher und aktueller einflüsse begreifen. es versammelt mit u.a. mr. v, meggy, kevork & maria, the black 80s und kid enigma eine hochkarätige feature-liste auf interpretationen all der musikalischen schätze, die das künstlerische charakterprofil von seins am nachhaltigsten geprägt haben. auf diese weise fließt das album zwischen house, r&b und versoulter popmusik, führt die entlegensten bpm-welten aufs stylishste zusammen und meistert den doch oft zum scheitern verurteilten versuch, floor-funktion mit songwriter-ambition oder gar airplay-tauglichkeit zu verknüpfen.

this is the story of c powers. to understand oysters, you must understand the man behind it all…

secretsundaze 017 comes from london based producer endian. releasing just 2 eps in a few years on nonplus and electric minds, endian has nevertheless managed to to turn the heads of the likes of steffi who used one of his tracks for her panorama bar compilation and boddika who also licensed a track for a various artists ep. sounding like a producer far more experienced than the two releases would indicate, it came as no surprise that this is far from the the output of a novice but the seasoned veteran george levings aka commix (metalheadz).

part ii features contributions from cassegrain & tin man, inland, dvs1 and steve bicknell

back at it again, taking the true essence of the “jacking” sound of chicago house and putting it’s own stamp on it is what obsolete music technology has done with their new 12&#8243,, entitled, “volatile.” warbling, wobbling, distorting, sinisterly acidic basslines abound is the best way to describe this release! for dance floors only! you have been warned! “volatile” starts off with some 707 drums intro and then fading in, is this tripped out, bubbling bass sound that sends you off a cliff! just when you think that’s all to the track, dark, melancholic pads comes in for added atmos-fear! rounding out the a-side is “killin,” with it’s 2 acid style basslines, one sounding at a high octave and the other at a lower octave. riffs playing separately sounding great, but when played together, there is something slightly, mentally off. on the b-side, “broken siren” is high energy! 808 tom drums bringing the funky low end while a short, electronic piano lick drenched in warm, fuzzy, flange effect. setting it off is a decayed sine wave, mimicking an actual alarm sound. lastly, “electric current” best describe this distorted acid bassline and its tweaking filter and resonance controls over jacking 808 drums

the a1 was never a big surprise. mattias fridell s consumed for profit was one of the tracks of the year, and surely fridell s personal best track, and was played by anyone who at least plays a bit of techno in their sets. the usual fridell quality of standard and a tight synth line! a2 sees french artist electric rescue s quarries in the a. mochi remix. a peak-time banger, slapping the synth stabs right into your face. this one always gets the floor jumping. the b-side kicks off with label-head advance human s pure , stripping things down to some essential moody but slamming techno, right up there amongst his best productions. b2 has +platform s mosses closing things off, and as we came to know and love from +platform, it s out there, dubby and dreamy techno, born for those deeper berghainesque floors.

compiled by hunee, sounds from the far east features highly sought after material by legendary japanese house producer soichi terada and fellow producers shinichiro yokota, manabu nagayama! soichi terada is an adventurous multitalent and over all a good sport. he was born in the sixties, and as a child he loved to play on his fathers electric organ. terada majored in computer science and electric organ and after he graduated, he founded his far east recording in 1989, because he couldnt find a label for his compositions at that time.

auf ihrer letzten ep * freak* zeigte sich ellen allien im hochsommer 2014 mal wieder von ihrer besonders vielgestaltigen seite. drei tracks mit drei bewegenden gefühlszuständen die jeweils für sich einmalig positive emotionen verbreiten. besonders der track * freak the night*, der mit wärmendem bass, 303-acid-tupfern, roland-piano-klängen und ellen alliens anfeuerndem gesang eindringliche rave-signale verteilt, entwickelte sich zum hit. nun hat die berlinerin befreundete künstler wie aux 88, radio slave und ejeca gebeten den verspielt kreativen track und das ebenfalls auf der letzten ep zu hörende stück * butterfly* zu remixen.

chapter ii of the the untold stories, begins with the beat circle, a new project of denis kaznacheev and ol, an epic work of attitude, an anthem for a new beat generation, filling the whole aside with groovy sliding bases, crisp clean cut claps, eccentric electric interactions, rich moments of imagination: decaying tones come as if some great engine then arrives to take the dancers further on their journey.

isabel, the first of a new attic series dedicated to hurricanes, is the latest ep signed by fabrizio lapiana on his own label and including remixes from reeko (mental disorder / pole group) and max_m (m_rec ltd). lapiana delivers two tracks with mighty and warm bassdrum, hihats and evolving percussions everywhere focused on diffuse electric click and vivid minimalism. the pole group artist shapes “dfract” into a more bodily and harder structure while the m_rec boss takes the same track and makes its own atmospheric and ultra-rhythmic style. proper dirty dancefloor techno of the highest order.

here comes the second blind spot music vinyl with some of our favourite techno artists on the board. the original track scattered produced by the japanese ryuji takeuchi and it is a proper peak time smasher. ryuji after a few remixes is finally landing with an original track on blind spot music. in the past techno fans have heared his unique style on various releases on label likes of nachtstrom schallplatten, sick weird rough, huehelix or his own imprint local sound network.
on the remix duties are: mallorcas techno ambassador angel costa, who has released on some of the most prestigious labels of the techno scene such as clr, electric deluxe, micro.fon. the german michael schwarz, whose unique driving-techno materials came out on driving forces, wall music, praxxiz and at last but not least blind spots very own dr hoffmann & gabeen. the duo is infecting the techno scene slowly with their lethal sounds.
the scattered ep is not for the faint-hearted, serious underground techno beats on it.

label boss dodi palese is back on what ever not with a brand new chemtrails ep of 6 tracks including remixes from d’marc cantu (crème organization, m>o>s) & rising techno italian artist chevel (enklav, non series, stroboscopic artefacts). title track results as a sick combination of well randomized drum patterns, synths and abstract layers turned into a bouncing house interpretation by the mighty d’marc cantu. the electric shocks of dodis machines go all the way through ‘storm’ delivering a monster dub track which got also treatment by the eclectic and talented chevel, check his slow tempo doped beats to see what we are talking about. two additional luscious bonus tracks, barium and aluminum, complete the package. dodi palese brings the chemtrail conspiracy theory to the music dimension!

the third release published by the vfmm, this time teaming up with the befriended label kashual and its mastermind - a brother from a different mother - thome thomp from berlin.the record encompasses a broader scope of electric music productions and still clings to the love and passion for analogue hardware.on side a of the record we again are lucky to present another bizarre yet gripping voodoo stomper by our very beloved bufiman. we are also very excited to welcome the very debut of a rather talented and promising project called forum whose uncompromising and raw acid sound is tearing every dance-floor to bits.the flipside kicks off with a very deep-laid and mellow analogue soundscape produced and arranged by the renown and ingenious rvds. utterly hypnotized by this track, the listener will then be caught and dragged down by the harsh and very stark atmosphere of the fairly industrial but emotive techno production of our mate thome thomp.you all are advised to keep an eye out to this record as it will be gone very quickly.

undoubtedly & massive early 90s revival techno. both tracks spanning on their own full sides between several themes each - unlike much of todays poorly produced and reduced retro dance music. two other parts of this collaboration will be released on klasse wrecks and grafiti tapes respectively. blip!

having previously kept their re-edit series in-house, leeds-based crate-diggers joe s bakery have invited moton (aka london veterans diesel and dave jarvis) to deliver the latest release. those who ve followed the moton records inc series (active since the 90s) will know what to expect: expert re-rubs of obscure material that get the right balance between dancefloor chops and home listening selections. look out for the odd shuffle and electric piano solos of -moody blues-, the percussive early 80s, synth-heavy live disco brilliance of -zoo- (yes, it s definitely balearic) and the hazy, midtempo disco-funk of -bumps-. it s getting progressively hard to find worthwhile re-edit 12- singles, but this one s a genuine killer

nerolis quest for unique sounds this time leads to shannon harris of urbanicity. his rare previous releases being a favourite here at the neroli headquarter. the chicago artist delivers an spacey electric version of his classic kinetic energy, while on the other side he goes real spiritual with the incredible suite that is into the light. you will be entranced by charles stepneys grand daughter brandice manuels divine voice and then brought back to funk in a way that once again proves shannons originality.

bristols facta and hodge are a pair of rising young producers who, more than most, have absorbed the influence of tempas early music and wielded it to create something defiantly their own. hodge has been on a powerful run of form over the last two years, with a string of acclaimed 12 inches for livity sound, idle hands and hotline striking a unique balance between brutalist sub-bass muscle and vortex-like whirls of voice and percussion. factas releases for soundman chronicles and idle hands have been equally striking - dark, hypnotic and dread-filled rollers for the moodiest of dancefloors. you can hear both producers approaches vying for attention on this collaborative 12 inch, and the resulting tension turns the atmosphere electric.

new label akuba records bringing you the very best in deep, cosmic, soulful & funky african disco music. their debut release includes 2 edits, the a side is gonna tear up the dance floor for sure, its an afro disco bomb, heavy drums, tight guitar licks with added keyboard stabs, some wicked brass and cool vocals, add some dubbed out effects and we have the perfect afro party tune. the b side is a more laid-back affair, cosmic dubbed out afro disco with a very tropical feeling going on, plenty of acoustic and electric guitars, copious amounts of effects and ending with some jazzy piano, a true desert island disc and perfect hula dancing material.

anything eddie ruscha touches is generally worth checking, and this latest outing for lectric sands offshoot it’s a lectric world is no exception. ruscha kicks things off with the electric dub, an untypically funky fusion of his usual vivid psychedelics, exotic vocal samples, crunchy guitars and an undulating disco-rock groove. the original rub - all bubbling electronics, muted guitar licks and deep house warmth - adds a little balearic disco flavour, before ruscha returns to more familiar territory with the delay-laden and pleasingly out-there lectric dub. finally, he reaches for the marimbas on the pleasing dub, an afro-influenced blast of wide-eyed balearic sunshine complete with lilting pedal steel.
