phonica records main imprint returns after a brief hiatus, with a revamped look and a new breath of life, with a solid and all-round excellent ep from scottish producer lord of the isles.

having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.

no.19 music look once again to the multi talented tone of arc for their latest single, an atmospheric cover version of the 1988 hit goodbye horses, the release also features a remix from the ever excellent deniz kurtel

butane continues to push his sound well beyond the frontiers of trendy dance music with >we are all cyborgs now<, his latest tour-de-force on his own alphahouse records imprint. apparently not interested in assimilation for the sake of popularity, he rather blazes his own wide-cut path towards artistry with two future-techno cuts rife with pointed commentary on the nature of todays dance music scene. >everybodys talkin< is a mutant hybrid of styles for the nostalgic types. latin percussion and bin-busting bass mingle with an ethereal voice lamenting the passing of the good old days. throw in one utterly twisted xylophone note that might just send a few partygoers over the edge for good, and you have an open air after-hours anthem in the making. >hey hipster< is a not-so-subtle jab at the newjack hipsters of the dance world who seem content to recycle old ideas, as long as they think they look cool doing it. deceptively simple, but carrying a heavy hook, the track features a grooving bassline, speaker busting synth stabs, and a brooding male voice admonishing these party parasites for their shallow ways. listen up kids, this is the sound of the underground. dont be fooled, this kind of music is best heard in big dark clubs where mirrors arent there for checking out your trendy haircut.

gtcm is back for a very special debut release by parisian artist low jack. at the crossroads between avant-garde techno-funk and a mischievous take on the sound of yesterday, low jacks clockmacker beats are channeled through a radiesthesia pendulum and the effects are akin to vertigo-inducing opiates of the strongest persuasion.
in addition to the three outstanding originals, this release contains gerds very first remix as geeeman. the wait has been long since his acclaimed releases on clone and he has delivered an irresistible remix geared towards dancefloor explosion that must not be missed.

this 2x12 inch lp set from vinyl passion collects remastered editions of the two nina simone albums nina simone at newport (1960) and forbidden fruit (1961).

the excellent black key records returns with its first multi artist release, the eponymously titled black key ep featuring blm, flori & james johnston.
brighton based black key records has built a strong following for its individual take on deep, underground house music. releases from jonny cade, andy ash & chamboche, backed with remixes from ethyl, ugly drums and blm have given black key an instant kudos. now the black key team look to the release of their first multi artist ep featuring three superb cuts, from three outstanding producers.

with releases as rare as a week of sunshine in london, and a profile that makes burial look press hungry, it is with great pleasure we give you joes first tracks of 2012. two wickedly sleazy and satisfyingly peculiar tunes that as you would expect, completely defy categorisation.
mb - a loopy, sleazy, slo-mo roller with the slinkiest guitar lick riding a big-boned bassline. as with all of joes tunes, a little = a lot.
studio power on - the sounds of 94 jungle smashed to bits, thrown around a studio and taped back together for 2012.

with the first single release of beijing rock, paul brcic (paul brtschitsch) brings a driving yet emotional production into the world of electronic sounds. an unmistakable, pulsating beat reminiscent of detroit-techno, smooth percussion, and a catchy bass line make up the songs foundation, immediately casting a bewitching spell and leaving no room for detours. carefully arranged samples from the 40s mould the centrepiece of the club bangers and move in perfect harmony with the full synth and fx sounds. without a doubt, paul brcic sets off a multifaceted sound explosion with a first look at the album beijing rock, scheduled for release in autumn 2012, always keeping one eye on production-technical details and the other on organic sound. beijing rock immediately invades the senses from the first measure, taking you along a journey outside of the clubs of this world and catapulting you just as quickly back to the sweat-inducing, wild nights. absolutely magnificent - paul brcic in his purest form. the b-side acid & camambert clatters as if on rails through the fields of sound and sets off one adrenaline rush after another with its clear basslines and consistently rising networks of beats. exquisite superstructures and effect dramaturgy breathe life into acid & camambert with an unbelievable energy and nearly acidic characteristics.

morgan geists project storm queen marks a return to his roots with an analog approach towards modern house music with a disco pedigree. >lets make mistakes< once again features the vocal talents of damon c. scott. storm queens debut of 2010, >look right through<, became an underground hit and was reissued as a remix package by defected records. 2011s >it goes on< nearly outstripped storm queens debut in popularity and was featured in countless radio and club dj sets and charts. >lets make mistakes< extends the storm queen continuum at 117 bpm, slowing down and emptying out to form a sinewy, building sound sculpture with a pop song nestled at its core. storm queen physical releases will be limited-edition 12 inches only. storm queen is made for djs, but doesnt sacrifice atmosphere and songwriting. storm queen owes a debt to classic house music from new york, chicago and detroit, as well as disco and boogie. s t o r m q u e e n i s a l e a p o f f a i t h .

after a very strange viral campaign, consisting of 4 videos - simply called <evidences< - and the emulation of mystery-demo-commissions the truth is revealed now: the new release of renommated daniel half is ready for sale. 3 tracks with witchhouse- and technodub-flavour and timeless spooky atmospheres tickle the listeners senses. his musical preferences are not from this world - always looking for perfect understatement. this is the time when all ghosts reveal their faces behind curtains of materialized maelstrom. dont forget to open the flask and drink the elixir.

catalogue number ten at uncanny valley and for this occasion the dresden based label returns to its roots with another various artists ep. actually, this is long overdue since there are a lot more talented producers to find in the elbe valley. on uncanny valley 010 we present four of them. sandrow m who focussed on the c-beams project recently has been part of the label right from the start. with “the three trees” he makes his solo debut for uncanny valley. the track is a summery house tune that shines with garage vocals and warm synth pads. steve kasper is slowing it down with unvexed dub which is an immersed house excursion for the morning hours. on the flipside scherbes kill bills stumbles but does not fall. instead, the track lives from tottering interaction between bright percussions and fractious drones below. finally, its jacob stoy who closes the record with s51, a dreamy deep house study including heavenly pads and subtle drum programming. for the artwork we are very glad to welcome back paul waak and his colourful figures that gave the first four compilations their unique look!

the 2 bears debut album be strong has been a revelation. the hirsute duo made up of joe goddard of hot chip & raf rundell aka the raf daddy have made a record that has touched people from many a different musical and cultural background. their roots, of course lay in house music and its that genre that essentially defines the 2 bears. so, brace yourself for four tantalizing mixes of one of the 2 bears finest house cuts take a look around.

join the dots reaches its dirty dozen in the form of leeds based noiseniks death on the balcony. after a year of rather big releases, hanging out with wolf & lamb, soul clap and other assorted cool cats and playing a hectic schedule of gigs across the world that literally saw fans throwing themselves (from a ruddy great height apparently) at our boys they now contribute dot012 to the jtds family. whilst being described as everything from disco, house, deep techno and any number of other pointless monikers (these are just their own descriptions we should add), death on the balcony have you could say come home to roost. think of us as their crash mat, their safety harness, their bungee cord. we are going to look after them whilst they just sit back and admire the view.

our second vinyl release 2012 introduces a new series, the bias jams, on ilian tape. we start off with a compilation of 4 tracks from japan, serbia, argentina and italy. after some internal investigations we found out that imugem orihasam is not only a japanese shaolin, but also a yoga guru. his bias cut sounds like an instruction for a deep meditation in a forest. we chose a forest, because forests need to be saved. too many black puffs of vapour are killing them at the moment. our late riser regen probably didnt had that a mind, but we declare him to be an environmental activist from now on. now how should we include paper tape in this story … had a look online and found the term perforated paper tape. pretty interesting stuff, it was one of the first methods for data storage. ok are you guys joking? orbital? there is no way to write a good story with those track names. >an atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom<. yeah right! well in fact its enough to know that the bias jams series will feature some heavy bomboclaat bias cuts from various artists! cheers

following releases on mathematics, boxfade and vuzkid, chris moss acid returns with an extraterrestrial four tracker on holland’s 030303. the a-side features bay of cadiz, an eleven minute cut built around an hypnotic bass line and a simple hitchcockian synth that would do well in a horror movie featuring zombies with smiley faces. on the flip, lynchette matravers is an energetic, crystal clear banger reminding of early 808 state. the big freeze sounds a lot warmer than the title suggests and should please anyone into afx’s later output. the rhythm, the fourth and last track on the ep, continues on that vibe with beautiful synth work. chris moss may look like a nutter, this sure is serious sonic pleasure

whilst some people claim that the number seven is lucky, some people, like duff, dont believe in luck, or if there is such a thing as luck you make your own. you cant rely on anyone else to hold your hand you know, you gotsta forge your own path, they arent called the mean streets for nothing. duff is the sort of man who not only makes his own luck (cos who else is gonna look after you?) but he keeps an eye on his bredren too. those in the neighbourhood feel safe because all is good in duffs hood, always has been, always will be, the police dont even come there, because they don’t have to, that block is on lock-down brother. though he isnt some type of machismo, over-the-top (hat back go-on sly) caricature, its just the way it is, nuthin to argue about. he has a way about him, the glare of a pitbull and the smile of don juan, dusty is his girl yep thats her real name, the name her mamma gave her on the day she was introduced to this world. the girl is fine thats for sure but what else would you expect from the honey that rides shotgun with the sonic casanova. she might call herself lucky. duff would disagree.

his music is like a waterfall on house – organic, constantly running,sparkling and fresh.it could be the background tune for magazine beauties in st. tropez,it feels like a drive through californian valleys,or it may as well be the soundtrack tune for a full moon party on the greek islands - yes, it might indeed just be the result of many a club year. just as well, however, we can look at it as some sort of a flip side to those busy and dark times of dull and hard work back in the days, something to simply relax andm make you smile, after a hard days work, with a cigarette in one hand and a smooth drink in the other… imagine a piece of roxy music, a dancefloor in northern italy - some time in the late 80s - and joe smooths promised land.see what i mean?you picture this?well,in that case you have a pretty good idea of robertos serenades style.the original version of tell me feat.kholi is taken from the upcoming album dawn.
