london-based thomas feriero, aka avatism, didnt buy his first vinyl when he was ten years old, nor was he born out of the love of two underground jazz musicians. he had an extremely dull and standard childhood and can barely play the drums. yet somehow, he is able to formulate techhouse tracks that are classy and artful while remaining dancefloor-functional.

this is the second single release from hardfloors last album >two guys three boxes<. after the highly acclaimed >texas trill remixes< in 2008, e.r.p. (aka convextion aka gerard hanson from dallas/texas) returns withan epic collaboration that gravitates... theres a dynamik bass system remix to round up the package. thomas werner (from munich) had his debut 1998 on international deejay gigolo records. after >dont stop compute< on lone records 2004 and >robotmachine< on monotone he released 2008 his longplayer >the mighty machine< on dominace electricity. latest attention came from his project >heliopause< (a collabo with detroits aux 88) on his new imprint robotmachine records. the vocals on his remix were performed by dj maaco from detroit in effect.

these are only a few of many excellent appraisals for kasper bjørkes second album >standing on top of utopia< which was released in april last year and followed by strong singles and remixes from the album, most recently >heaven< with mixes by nicolas jaar, muzzle flash and prins thomas. with the >symptoms< ep we are happy to present an ep full of brandnew material. while we wait for kaspers next solo album, currently in production and set for a 2012 release, here is a treat of new and unreleased material for you! other than the rather vocal driven singles >young again<, >alcatraz< or >heaven< these four new instrumentals contain both slow disco vibes and rave style anthems. >symptoms< is a constantly moving, synth driven bastard, that provides a crunchy baseline and a wonderfully strange theme that is hard to get your head around. if this track was a movie, it would be x-rated and only shown after midnight - exactly around the time where you would drop this on the dancefloor and look forward to what happens. - initial pressing in coloured yellow vinyl!

this second ep collects 4 more hard to find on vinyl, early shoes re-edits. the killer afro perculator from shoes005 starts things off followed by afta lafta, the dub mix of timmy thomas why cant we live together from shoes004 and nautilus from the out print re-soled.

still going is the combination of two nyc dance music leaders eric dunks & duncan of rub & tug and olivier spencer of manthraxx and mr. negative. even before its release, >still going theme< has been hailed by many top djs around the world and has been featured in prins thomas essential mix for the bbc?s radio 1. the track will soon be featured on the upcoming force of nature mix on mule musiq, as well as james murphy and pat mahoneys (lcd soundsystem) fabric live mix.

4 track ep that collects some of the shoes classic, early, out of print releases. this includes the vocal and dub mixes of al greens love & happiness from shoes003, kyen kyen from shoes005 and why cant we live together by timmy thomas from shoes004. essential. dont sleep on this!

the w (no relation to the us hotel chain) presents its debut ep on mako called >victim<.
the title track is a slow action blockbuster accompanied by the sexy industrial-type vocals. the track pays the ultimate homage to french electronics of the past couple of years.
also on the ep are the tracks >wrack<, the sinister cut-up distortion number which starts out with an evil hip-hop beat and then turns into a proper techno banger, as well as >arabic< which is full of sitars and psychedelic tension. makos in-house talent polymorphic provides a hot remix.

we are sure max cooper does not refer here to one of traum boss triple rs favourite writer thomas pynchon but rather connects here to the technical terminus of the parabolic trajectory often mentioned as rainbow-shaped. nevertheless we wish to express that the transgressive quality of max music, does it question or break down the boundaries and categories of western culture and reason, is a challenge we have at traum always aimed at, with tracks that were very far away from the norm in the same way as maxs tracks are.

aux 88 & dynamik bass system return with an epic four tracker that gravitates towards the sphere of techno bass just like the planetary rings of meteorite around saturn! if the music, encompassing a vast spectrum of infl uences from west coast to miami bass, is composed by thomas werner aka dynamik bass system, sharped vocals and lyrics are performed by tom tom and k1 aka tommy hamilton & keith tucker of fame aux 88

about group heisst das nicht ganz neue side project von hot chips alexis taylor. schon 2009 veröffentlichte er zusammen mit charles hayward (this heat), john coxon (spring heel jack, spiritualized) und pat thomas ein album unter dem namen about group. >start and complete< ist jetzt das resultat eines neuen anlaufs einer kollaboration, die eigentlich ein one-off hatte sein sollen, dann aber doch zuviel spaß gebracht hatte, um sie nicht zu wiederholen.

for this project the barking dogs rework two tracks by jessie evans, adding their producing skills to her post-punk sax and vocals lines and giving us two old school burning, sweaty killers. the pack is complete with remixes from a couple of hot names on the scene. altz with his enormous, mad remix (something really unique, we where stunned when we first listened to this one) and the deep acid version from rune lindbaek & mental overdrive.

fine art with another piece of sultry nu-disco/house. this time its londons capracara (aka jonathan burnip), who has had outstanding releases on dfa and soul jazz. this vinyl only release of panic beats includes (beside the original version of course) a sweet previously unrelease remix from diskjokke, one of those hot producers from oslo (like prince thomas, lindstrom). diskjokke just had his second album out on smalltown supersound but found time to deliver this sweet remix job. comes with two endless loops in the run out groove. fine art is on a great run with this cool 10... vinyl only

ulysses dj career began in 1991, when he started his universitys first techno radio show. shortly after graduating he returned to his hometown and became a player in the late-90s electro scene in new york, running some of the earliest large-scale electro parties in new york. guests included legends such as alexander robotnick and arthur baker, as well as recent stars like i.f., miss kitten and the hacker and adult. ulysses is not only about party promotion, however, and a close look at his diverse musical career will quickly shatter this misconception. although a long-time advocate of obscure disco and classic techno, ulysses is currently best known for the piano house anthem robotic hypnotic adventure from his neurotic drum band collaboration with john selway. in addition to the ndb ulysses collaborates with thugfuckers holmar filipsson as filipsson & ulysses, who are releasing soon-to-be classic eps of emotive electronic disco on internasjonal and bearfunk records. ulysses still continues to chart his own musical path with an incredible ep of dark pop for internasjonal spesial in the works, as well as some new club-friendly dance tracks on wurst and his solo debut for throne of blood. the acid reflux ep represents the diversity of ulyssess talent, from banging acid tracks to moody downtempo and grooving electronic house. to round things out ulysses recruited prins thomas to deliver an unprecedented nine-minute rerub of >acid reflux< that preserves the originals 303 groove but injects a heaping dose of cosmic atmosphere and live instrumentation into the mix. essential

the freeland >cosmic disco remixes< are out now. this includes the brilliantly epic >diskomiks< of freelands >morning sun< by prins thomas, plus a new mix of silent speaking by dj garth & anthony mansfield.

short about the label: a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we are gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it… im very glad to introduce yet another member to out internasjonal >family<. mathew senick aka mathew leutwyler. mathew got in touch through the web from mexico and it took us only a brief listen to this troika of wonderful sounds to convince us. now decide for yourself if theres something wrong with my ears….. ps: my computer tells me hes had releases out on perspectiv and traum, ill definitely investigate further, so should you

the latest from thesongsays brings back one of our main players - bruno pronsato. whats he been up to you might ask? aside from completing his album lovers do, working on music with thomas melchior and daze maxim and putting out records as pubic lover with our leading lady ninca leece, not much… maybe hes been in the rafters sipping coffee or understudying for bigger roles. who knows. nonetheless he’s back. these two new tracks come from his upcoming lp, lovers do. its a single, sort of. but not really. because when has bruno ever done a single like we know a single? this 12-inch is about as far as you could get from club fodder. rather, its a pair of subtle grooves to soundtrack you cutting carrots, sipping whiskey, or dancing at some intimate afterhours spot

christmas is a time for people to come together. in that tradition, desolat celebrates a year packed full of music, with the second yearly christmas label sampler: a showcase of inspiring heavyweights alongside fresh talent from two continents, wrapped up in a big shiny bow. while last years christmas vinyl sampler was red, this years sampler will be blue: simply a beautiful sounding item in our favourite music format. all artists featured on the sampler have released music on desolat previously: some as special guests, some as cherished label staples. legendary chicago producer dj sneak jumps into the fray with a contemporary salsa-kissed house jam at a strapping pace, taste-making french don franck roger similarly digs deeps with the agile burner >egotrippin<. desolats taste for dancefloor atmospherics is further exemplified by loco dices stripped back and frisky track >dont make signal<, and martin buttrichs playful >roads<. livio & roby, premiesku, yaya and guti & audiofly also contribute their own takes on the desolat sound: with crunchy, sample-flecked grooves aplenty. its been a watershed year for desolat, with a super-wide variety of singles, remixes and long players by artists such as pulshar, ricardo villalobos, thomas melchior, marco passarani and der räuber & der prinz: musical explorations of submarine-worthy proportions. we are excited to see what 2011 will bring… stay tuned

support from miguel migs, king britt, tedd patterson, master h, jammie thinnes, master kev, deep josh, russell pollitt, dalminjo, roussia, michael fossati, dj jorj... its almost winter time but stalwart has decided to refuse to let go on this depressing vibe !! with its 18th release, stalwart hopes to bring some sun in your heads and ears with this track from portuguese dj and producer deep djoe, sung by superstar portuguese soul singer veronica larrenne. >sing 4 u everyday< is a melodic funky soulful song full of live instruments giving it a warm, qualitative, singalong appeal. the groove will take you straight to the dancefloor, and the vibe to a warmer place near a beach or a swimming pool !! receiving heavy feedback, the original tune has been given the remix treatment from our heavyweight friend aaron ross who delivers a mood ii swing-like vocal dub version. dj rork added a different, more complex groove to the original track with his rework, while up-and-coming french talent thomas toccafondi had delivered a minimal, groovy and hypnotic dub, giving this package a wide appeal

12inch full of music with a definite sense of place. eerie synthesiser pulses, funk-infused drums and languid guitar-scapes have been part of the musical topology of düsseldorf since the early seventies: and this particular release pays full tribute to that legacy, with jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag) comprising an eerie piece of swampy lazer-forest rock. this sound is also a modern day staple of düsseldorfs nightlife at the salon des amateurs, a small bar attached to the kunsthalle art gallery that is an oasis of hypnotic disco nightmares. the salon is where der räuber und der prinz made their first live appearance in 2008 (when the original composition for moogwalzer was debuted), and both members of the band frequently play there: ralf beck with his bodyrocking club act unit 4 and sebastian as half of art-rock duo noblesse oblige. meanwhile two of the guests on this release - detlef weinrich also known as toulouse lowtrax, contributing words about a ghostly maiden on moogwalzer, and thomas klein contributing drums to jagd auf den hirsch - are both original members of the quintessential düsseldorf act kreidler. salon dj resident vladimir ivkovic also had a hand in the creative clarion call for the jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag). to complete the circle, düsseldorfs new resident and desolat mainstay guti wrote his remix in the middle of the night in buenos aires, as a kind of letter to his new home-to-be. there we have it: a true tribute to a city we love, with tracks for the dancefloor as well as moments of melancholic contemplation.

toolroom trax round off a phenomenal year with their third installment of winter samplers packed with toolroom treats from leading artists michael woods, umek, paul thomas & jerome isma-ae and muzzaik.
