to turn peoples heads you have to make a bit of an effort to do something different. but maybe there is another part of me that just wishes i could make club bangers and just put it out there…

humans are an abstraction of animal life form – and this is their soundtrack. on the first release monomood shows some light. but the light is pulsating in stroboscopic rhythms and enlightens shadows of moving creatures locked into a murky basement. if this is too disturbing for you, the well known grounded theory mastermind henning baer slows down the frequency to turn the raging floor into a dark moving mass hypnosis. after that you can recognize some dark scientists are brewing a fascinating cocktail out of boiling bass anddistorted sounds capes. drink it and you will know!

here we present good vibrations, the debut ep on local talk from canadian producer orazio fantini. the best thing with this ep is that it is simply straight up house music that is both deep yet raw and funky all at the same time. basically, its very local talk ,) first track, to the ball, starts off with a bubbling bass line, followed with shuffling hi-hats and swinging beat that is glued together by glistering synth stabs, infectious to say the least. turn the record over for feel it, which showcases fantinis clever use of vocal samples blended together with the perfect swing and last not but not least, on hold is a stripped track but with all the necessary elements to make the feet move.

after sides from matthew burton, seuil and albert schwartz, sammy dees ultrastretch label returns in 2013 with volkan akin. a regular presence at berlin institutions like club der visionäre, akin has been slowly rolling out his brand of prickly, spaced-out club tracks since the end of the last decade, both under his own name and as v for volkan. but if volkan akin has up until now been unfamiliar beyond germany, his ultrastretch debut, voltage, featuring an absolute beast of a ricardo villalobos remix, stands to turn more than a few heads in his direction. densely packed and intricately constructed, voltage is an extended groove you can get lost in. cymbals ring softly amidst whirrs of faintly melodic clicks, scratches and voices. but at the center of akins churning, percussive arrangement lies a warm and weighty kick sure to keep dancers pinned to the floor. like so many great perlon records, voltage can be taken as a deeply considered exercise in sound design or as a deadly club track simultaneously, with akins musical sophistication and knack for an inviting beat working hand-in-hand. the original mix spends over 11 minutes unraveling, but as you fall further into the swirl of akins interlocking rhythms, youre likely to stop counting. a shorter constant voltage mix evokes sunrise, pulling back the originals heft to reveal gorgeous pads and hints of organic rhythm. ricardo villalobos, sammys longtime label mate at perlon and a producer who likely needs no introduction, digs deeper into the thump at the heart of voltage on his acdc remix. focusing on the originals wisps of melody, villalobos turns in a warm, zoned-in remix that feels of a piece with the singular techno trips found on his recent lp dependent and happy

played by sascha dive, vera, sebo k, einzelkind on his first ep for tenderpark marquese proves to be a master of using his means. with only a few, but purposefully used elements with interesting modulations marquese creates two lean house tracks which nonetheless feel very round and harmonious. beautiful chords, subtle vocals and a powerful beat and bass fundament turn mindshake and twool into two deep house affairs which skilfully combine modernity and classicism.

over the last few months, the main focus in the rekids camp has been on nina kraviz and the remixing of her 2012 debut lp. now its time for a change, and its head honcho radio slaves turn to get in on the remix action, with his 2008 hit tantakatan getting a fresh makeover in the shape of mr. gs nightwatch dub and prins thomas diskomiks

slowly but surely spencer parkers work them label has been gaining a deserved reputation as a no nonsense house and techno imprint thanks to releases from the likes of pittsburgh track authority and dana ruh. now it is the turn of the s:vt who serves up one track, basement sweat, complete with a remix, which will then be followed by a separate 12 inch featuring two remixes from arttu. the original track pairs classic, piled-on-top-of-each other claps with a freewheeling melody that runs up and down the scale. the bottom end is streamlined and techno inclined, bringing with it plenty of raw warehouse vibes. the no strings attached mix loses the melody and ups the percussive ante, chopping up and slicing out patterns as that bottom end continues to burrow on.

master-class techno - about cassegrain - what should we say? they did it again. in fact alex and hüseyin had a great brilliant year in 2012 and 2013 starts stronger with this double 12?. tiamat is not just a collection of techno tracks, its one of the best techno tracks we have heard so far and everybody with some techno nerves should recognize very fast what treasure this is.

albinos has now been meaning to open communication channels with the baka pigmy tribe for quite some time, sadly to mixed results… this indeed represents a rather difficult task considering their take on the devil is a tall white man graced with white hair and red eyes! even though the baka people is a peaceful one, the legend goes that if they were to catch that albino devil, they would gut its organs out and turn those into an aphrodisiac concoction. strangely enough, albinos believes that his music just might be the best language to turn those antagonistic feelings into a communion, he even dreams of performing his tunes to the whole tribe, deep within the jungle, surrounded with exotic birds and the most hungry kind of predators! somewhat at times on the verge of irony, his music definitively trades with sketchy, raw and deep emotions, always sincere in the making: always a few steps away from the pre-shaped house and techno idioms, he offers his very own take on dance music, a most peculiar one. solely using old cheap hardware and an antique atari, the tracks at hand are one-take live performances, brutal incarnations of albinos simple virgin vision. as the quest for the baka people goes on, the antinote team is proud to help shed light on the journey of this obscure producer hailing from the grand north.

off the back of his second club-shaking ep for cvss dirtybird imprint, paris ghetto mastermind producer is back for his 3rd outing on his own label clekclekboom. after dropping their inaugural release, the stellar *champagne / hugz (ft. bambounou)*, at the end of 2011 it seems fitting that french fries return to kick-off 2013 with the labels 9th release. the use of bold, futuristic effects and percussive subtleties combined with an astute aptitude for clarity and fullness of sound makes for yet another destructive french fries and clekclekboom ep. this shrewd blend of experimentalism and dancefloor bass-weight means ccb009 is likely to turn up in a wide range of record bags.

brilliant fresh nu disco action, greg wilson at it best

last year kyodai dropped breaking, which to date is the biggest selling release on local talk. now the brothers are back with in our opinion a future house anthem. the scene is a classic piano house cut that’s impossible to resist and together with one the coolest vocal samples we’ve ever heard we think this has the potential to go really big. when the breakdown drops we’re pretty sure everybody in the club will chant. but as if this was not enough we also got another big tune on the b-side. moving is the continuation of “breaking” and goes along the same lines with its crossover jazz styled house. once again kyodai delivers a supa solid house production with large jazz breakdowns and old school vocals that’s right up their with ”breaking”. this is also why we called it…breaking pt.2. kyodai is currently working on their debut album for local talk which is due later this year. they’re also travelling around the world with their amazing live dj set that we highly recommend. trust us when we say that these two brothers really now how to turn up the heat in a club…serious biz!

the seventeenth studio album by the scorpions on 12 inch vinyl.

just when you thought you knew what you were going to get from flashmob they switch it up completely, stamping their mark of quality and proving their versatility as producers they turn in an old school acid house stomp. dark, rumbling bass, spoken female vocal, and complimentary 303 acid squelches make both the garage mix and panorama mix equally at home in a field around the m25 circa 88 as it does on the floor at dc10 in 2013. watch out. acid house is back!

portuguese troia phonograph kicks off 2013 with a stunning release. pedro goyas music is well known for his past releases on such labels as classic music company, music for freaks, brique rouge, exun, om. the approach is slight different this time (if you are familiar with pedros music). refined, full and risky, that is how we would name it. both tracks are long stories that keep you interested all the way. impressive sound signature, bouncy basslines, tight rhythm section and soul all around turn this record into something that cannot be done by accident or randomly. this is how a deep house record should sound.

macchina nera an mysterious alpine character already gave a guest appearance at pam 15.5 besides the label boss anette party. now it is his turn to rev up. and you just hold his debut ep in your hand.
here the super chef mixes up what came under his nose in the last decades. house tunes, a sirens voice that even would have made good old sylvester jealous together with an ass moving groove that bring every epic-o-meter to explosion. the essence unveils the pure sou of this exceptional talent. full of love turned it all pastamusik co-workers to little creatures floating through the office on hand made hearts. macchina nera is a well known old stager in his hometown who represents the munich lifestyle and joy as (almost) no other. but – this is only the beginning. s o o n we wll be back to release a of full album of this gem-artist as well as a number of remixes suitable for all (s) ex positions. remember his name!

lost paradise delivers a modern execution of our post-disco dance music culture, maintaining references to the past and looking for the oasis on the horizon. lost paradise #2 features two originals from space coast, aka sleazy mcqueen and jorge collazo. *vibe a.m.* is deep and dreamy with live flute and piano, emotive melodies and groovy bass. social disco club and last waltz turn in two completely different mixes, both fit for the late or early hours of the night. *cant get enough sunshine* is a melodic and cerebral ode to mid-nineties new york house but with a twist.

diamond version ist eine kollaboration zweier innovatoren moderner musik, byetone und alva noto. als führende köpfe des chemnitzer labels raster-noton und mit ihren solo-projekten alva noto (carsten nicolai) und byetone (olaf bender) arbeiten die beiden seit geraumer zeit an der grenze von intuitiver und konzeptueller kunst, einer verbindung von galerie und dancefloor. der dritte teil der ep-serie mit den titeln *turn on tomorrow / turn on tomorrow (version) & sense of urgency* beinhaltet drei tracks, in denen das auditive, das visuelle und das sloganhafte unmittelbar miteinander verschränkt ist. an der crispen, synthetischen oberfläche der songs spiegelt sich die brutale realität der slogans und macht deren bedrohlichen dystopischen gehalt - und ihre absurdität - sichtbar.

basswalkers! calling all basswalkers to the isolated system. it is time, time for round two. hope you like yours nice n ravey because aÑas & 785s taking us way way back with this one. please keep your arms and legs inside the time capsule. and strap in, its gonna be a 90s sorta ride. you may remember our last session with henning baer, norman nodge and musk? it turned into a bit of a showdown, with all sorts of basswalks proliferating the floor. well, now its aÑas & 785s turn to take the lead. some of you are new here, so were easing you in gently with break even first. dont be scared, this is a harmless sort of menace—its bark is far worse than its bite. besides, wait til you hear the breakdown. wooh. now youre all warmed up, let it all go with let it go. really, no holds barred please. trust, you will enjoy it all the more. you can collect your things at the end.

phoenix g. ferm and deep kickdrums that are being accompanied by lengthy chords and a frequently return male vocal that states, bounce. all and all this is the dancefloor music we are used to from mr.g. the a2 brings a more technoish vibe to dance to. this fits perfect in the modern trend of bass producers turning techno. while of course g is somewhat more of a legend and he didnt just turn to this type of music recently. it does proove that he is still abel to catch any kind of vibe to get the people moving. on the b1 we find a ben sims remix. which of course is enough said. mr sims turns the a2 original into an absolute floor wrecker.

luc who? marianni? this reclusive french composer paved the underground music history with a handful of mind-blowing lps but still managed to surprisingly fall under the radar. even the experts seem to have forgotten about him when there were clues all over the place! it is true luc marianni didnt belong to no family but his own, with his constant work-in-progress through the gathering of friends and the odd random musical chance meeting.
it is therefore with great pleasure that we offer for the first time in decades the scarce remaining stock of original copies from his first and last vinyls, hoping to turn some heads along the release of the remix ep on ddd records: ddd-lmr-t01 with remixes of jared wlison (detroit), dam mantle (glasgow) and nukubus (rotterdam).

nice price deal !!! as roche, bay area balearic boy ben winans designs long nostalgic nights with no sign of morning. on >a night at the haç<, his keys converse the epic dialogue of classic house thematics: high notes begging romantic love, low notes daring physical freedom. acid alien gears turn >insider outsider< into pivotless progression, straight ahead until the record breaks. side b sees >cg vision< through a fish-eye lens, all underwater bubbles n submarine wubbles as the synthy sea swells. finally, it is hi-hats off to the fx channel in >psycho zombie dreams<, a tunnel trauma of modulated raunch—seductive, intoxicating and mind-munching. haç is boss, now do the work.

van bonn returns after his release maserung on telrae in april 2011. van bonn has been in the studio a lot since then and has worked on a number of tracks that are highlighted here. onwards i is an excursion into sound. it starts with sounds that interact in a subtle way but then as if by magic, suddenly it rises to a much higher energy level, almost pulling you by the hair. chords now kick in with the full force of brutality, like the strikes of london’s big ben and then you’d think the track will just burst. van bonn makes another turn before he lets the drums break loose. it seems as if van bonn is taming the brutality and direction of his electronic machines. abstract now meets the concrete and whoever wins the fight is up to the listener to decide. the first remix comes by raffaele attanasio who has had considerable success with der pianist and i m a jazzman and has collaborated with trapez ltd artist mihalis safras, a. trebor (trapez), as well as claude young, nic fanciulli and has shown his versatility throughout the last 3 years. juan atkins recently featured raffaele attanasio remix of no mans land by a. trebor in his charts.his remix for van bonn keeps up a strong beat programming right from the beginning. a beat monster so to speak is alive from the beginning and kicking. the track is written in a style that shows expansion and contraction and through that shows an organic breathing quality.
