little is known about the london-based producer and dj who goes by the name of u, but that hasnt quelled praise from bedroom heads, industry tastemakers and big name press alike. audio arbiter george fitzgerald originally met u on a holiday in greece and immediately commissioned a handful of 12inches, each brimming with trademark mechanical bliss, like pleasure tinged with menace. u has since gone on to release for erol alkans phantasy sounds (both as a solo artist and in collaboration with babe, terror as btu), being given the nod by the guardian, mixmag and the line of best fit.

nearly two years ago we released mys/kela by a newish stockholm-based producer who had put out a couple tracks on a couple labels studio barnhus and local talk owned by friends from around town. that produce s name was hnny and a lot has happened since then, both to him and to us. hes gone on to crank out more l.t. 12inches as well as some hes dropped on his yummy and puss imprints, weve gone on to unleash a couple dozen more records and see the list of talent we ve hosted at our parties grow to astounding length. somehow, through it all, we managed to stay close with hnny, whos real name is johan cederberg, and even book him for a couple nyc gigs. the friendship that began so humbly and gently in 2013 has blossomed.

ltd 2015 repress ** phunked up chicago house styled ep, > til the feelings gone< was already dropped by zip on his recent fabric compilation

almost a year after their best-selling second ep, the anonymous bandits crumbs return to the fray, with another perfectly planned and executed smash & grab although delivering a mysterious & scantily clad 12- is hardly a novel concept these days, it does concentrate the mind (and feet) on the music more than the brand it s undercover time again, and we re sworn to secrecy, of course...but two of the regular collaborators have engaged in a serious bit of one upmanship having landed this diverse haul, let s take a look inside as we move from a completely overhauled musicbox classic, flipped and re-pitched for 21st century floors. followed up by a totally irresistible modern afro-disco workout with more than a few sonic surprises thrown in turn over for a lost, cosmic gem with no end of additional sparkle, coupled with a a twice-baked & loose jointed rhythm and bass workout that really slams. a dj s delight, then, to be mixed up or played raw this one will be gone in the blink of an eye, but treasured for much longer

with iyewaye, the first solo-ep after the release of his fifth album i am ok last year, oliver koletzki shows himself in a new, but not altogether unfamiliar light: since his breakthrough in 2005 with der mückenschwarm koletzki hasnt sounded this hard. gone is the pop-angle, replaced by a dark sound-aesthetic and raw energy. but even here, in the techno realm, oliver koletzki demonstrates his inimitable sense for melody: thus, the gloomy and driving framework of iyewaye is lit up by a crystal-clear synth-sequence. similarly, ipuza, which hypnotizes by way of reduction and repetition, is funky in its core thanks to a rolling tribal groove. functional, but with heart and soul.

the supremes, the most commercially successful girl group in pop history, were one of the jewels in motown records artist stable. given wonderful material by motown s amazing songwriters, the group scored numerous number one pop hits, as did singer diana ross when she left the group and went solo, and motowns bright, modern, and uptown image as a label had a lot to do with the way these ladies gracefully and elegantly presented themselves and took over a song. two dozen of those number one hits, both as the supremes and as ross solo, are collected here, including the timeless classics *come see about me*, *you cant hurry love*, *you keep me hangin on* and *stop! in the name of love*. the album also features a bonus remix of *you keep me hangin on*.

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.

released in 1979 queen samantha’s “take a chance” has gone down in disco history as an all time classic. produced by former aphrodite’s child bassist harris halkitis and featuring elongated naked “dj friendly” drum breaks and uplifting vocals and synths the record was sure to be a hit in discotheques on it’s initial release. the record was a huge success and has been sampled, edited and re-appropriated countless times, it even captured the ears and minds of the nascent hip hop movement that was brewing in new yorks bronx neighbourhoods a few years after it’s release with afrika bambaataa including it on his game changing “death mix” session with jazzy jay in 1983. both sides of the 12&#8243,,,,,, are bona-fide disco gold, pairing queen samantha’s soaring vocals with the stripped back, percussion heavy back drop of halkitis and his band. “take a chance” still sounds as fresh, epic and driving today as it did in ‘79 and still finds favour with forward thinking disco dj’s who include it in sets now. this is only one of many underground disco classics that the mighty miami based tk disco label brought to the world, officially re-mastered, re-pressed and re-issued in conjunction with joe stone / tk disco
