messed up house ep is the right mood s debut on vinyl and for the four tracks on it, house music borrows their foundations. powerful kick drums and bright handclaps make the tight bases that carry lots of musical influences, from distorted guitar amps to brazilian percussion, passing through techno bleeps and minimal noises, all of them, always involved by huge basslines that will put to proof the sound system s capabilities of reproducing low-end frequencies. underground house music has found a place in this bundle. an ep title was never so true!

huerco s is back !

fernando gallego is not a music band which we can define as common, on the contrary. this group from uburriana, successor of funeraria vergara, started its history back in the early 1984, (after juan luis montoliu left), and it ended in 1986 with the emergence of the project *decúbito supino*. their usage of some synthesizers, amongst other gadgets, keyboards and large petrol cans, was the distinctive feature as regards to their predecessor band, such an echo defined a much more industrial and electronic sound, closer to early ebm.
limited edition of 300 copies. comes with din a3-sized poster printed double sided.

featured: four bona fide artists, accomplished and historically rooted deeply in the underground. drivetrain (detroit, usa) – take your time…a grove which the dance floor simply cannot deny. derrick thompson unleashes a bewitching bass line atop a relentlessly galvanizing drum track. flavorful female vocal samples raise the energy to maximum capacity. black jack (aberdeen, scotland) – “the earth grid”…moving just a little deeper, the melody of rich chords and pads guide the constant pulsating bass with effeminate whispers chanting through the occasional twisting synth refrain. fbk (columbus, usa) – “his brief moment of clarity”…boosting the tempo just a tad, a herculean debut production which intelligently punches and stabs dynamic waves of rhythmic sound patterns of perpetual electronic motion. rob belleville (soest, netherlands) – brightened horizon…a first offering on soiree records, spontaneously spotlighting late night ambiance. percussions swing to the bounce of the bass riff as the keyboards chime the infectious theme. -rooted and grounded deep-

spencer parker & rekids are back together at last, with the work them records boss returning to the label with his first ep of original material since 2011’s ‘i think i love you’. ‘no more silly club songs vol.1’ finds parker at his playful best, melding together all the elements that give his dj sets such boundless energy. all four tracks are made purely for where spencer parker does his best work: the dancefloor. * this ep is simply a collection of tracks i made around 18 months ago for my own sets. no concept, no bullshit, just some tracks to work the club.* - spencer parker

‘streetlight soul’ is the inaugural release on new imprint gnosis. this four track ep is the fifth myriadd record, following 12-s for crème organization, pinkman and signals. the past decade has seen releases from the artist under a variety of pseudonyms including acid phreex (djax-up-beats), mantra (bunker, abstract acid, solar one music) and monofonix (iwari, cataclyst). across the ep, myriadd remoulds the template of vintage chicago house, acid and deep house into his vision of modern house music. opening with midnight obsession , working a dark hypnotic bassline into an endless groove of crisp jacking drums and soul stirring melody, all primed for maximum effect at 4am when lost in the smoke and strobes. visions of love is driven by a juno bassline, a classic palette of tumbling, infectiously funky drums, warm, enveloping synth atmospherics and elevated by lush, celestial string work which comes off like some fantasy mr fingers + virgo psychedelic jam. the ep’s titular track goes deeper into the night with 909 claps, off-kilter snare hits, melancholy synth and ethereal melodies that ascend and dissolve into neon clouds. closer back to nature is a trip into blissed out, tropical house sounding like a lost balearic classic re-tweaked for the 21st century..

after numerous remixes, collabs and b2b sets, producers hey joe and josia loos are finally putting their collaborative efforts on wax. english for world of shards, scherbenwelt starts with resonating ambient tones leading into vast depths of an illusionary ambience, abruptly and unexpectedly obliterated by a rapid and thumping beat- it s a tough and unforgiving world the duo reveals through this track. pulling the curtains even further back, lohnarbeit, which translates to wage labour, reveals hard truths and makes no compromises. as the deep and unsettling voice declares, social existence comes at a price: labour. work, and you ll exist. tough words, appropriately reinterpreted through hard sounds. momentous techno, literally driven by the crack of a whip. ryan davis gracefully smoothes scherbenwelt s sharp edges, re-concealing these hard truths behind curtains of smooth melody, thus letting us float back into a daze of daydreams, and illusion.

incl download code , since a few years mrz is steadily shaping his dancefloor sensitivity on zürich s underground and sophisticated parties. its not a suprise you can whitness mrz s flow on his new productions becoming more natural as it does when he performs live. these three tracks plus instrumental are only a pick of many great new tracks, so we hope you are going to like our selection: title track konterversum is just as you d be sneaking in a stairway and catching a couple - to our surprise - having a dispute while the party booms behind the door. subversly charming. multiversum does somehow picture how it feels trying to quit a conversation at phone - while riding an edgy but flowing groove. circaversum is basically held in swiss german dialect and we let you guess what they are talking about. we insisted on an instrumental version of the track for those not so much inclined into three-guys-jacking-the-mic-in-the-studio. it was worth it.

the title tack is a playful melodic jam with trilling pads and lush synths. moody and beautiful, it is a truly emotional work. igor vicente then goes for a more minimal and stripped back affair with ghoulish synths, spooky samples and a n eerie, spacious groove that is hugely compelling.

after the success of previous various artist eps, cultured underground outlet cinematic recordings is back with another tasteful ep that features tracks by label head soy mustafa, city 2 city, aubrey and john tejada & justin maxwell.

next up on les disques de la mort, and we playing with all the preconceptions, once more. now we are slowing things down, and speeding them up. the word is elastic . we are back with our most psychedelic release to date and you are the first to be injected. rodion & mammarella are known for their strange hybrid of slow burning electronic disco but they have been on the mountain of truth. they saw the light. they flew off. on the remix duties toulouse low trax provides the dusseldorf angel dust to suspend you in time and space and flavien berger, the new wunder french kid, is on the opiate shuffle.

helsinki based label friendship & decadence was setup to tap in to the helsinki electronic music scene and highlight those young and talented producers who inhabit the city. the first release comes via the collective known as joint minds, comprising of three artists autoexec, poly sone & miss kade. the 2 tracks are both live jams recorded using a host of outboard and analogue equipment. -commotion- fills the a-side of the vinyl with a throbbing acid bassline and pulsating industrial stabs, whilst the flip side takes a more stripped back approach. with -headstuck-, a delayed piano floats around rolling drum pattern, uk techno influences aplenty.

full instrumentation in cayetanos studio in athens, then the band takes over and changes the sounds with the physical instruments in thessaloniki and back to athens again for the final mix. only bound friends and great professionals like them could make this sound so easy. the mix is over, here comes mastering. enrico mercaldis magic ears help the project to reach the stars for one more time. and now the magic begins.tower of power, the intro or better a summary of the album.

turning back the clock, before fast forwarding it, comes giovanni damico as g-machine. a new virtuoso of space boogie.

to celebrate fifty fathoms deeps 2nd year of pressing we asked some of our favourite producers to remix a selection of cuts from our back catalogue and as expected they ve all come up trumps! the ep opens with fouk boys riding the groove on their remix of ugly drums don t let life (passing by) then thatmanmonkz goes left of centre with his reimagining of phil asher feat james massiahs move ya self. on the flip new zealand s frank booker comes correct on his take of lay-fars triptych to round off a great package. the ep is a fitting way to mark another year of quality music from fifty fathoms deep.

opilec music is back with another excellent project, this time from acclaimed label boss i-robots with help from the uk s mike anderson of kms and chiwax association plus demented machine from opilec music.

it is no exaggeration to say that ultrastretch has accumulated an array of outstanding releases and artists since its creation in 2011. one knows that being as renown a representative of the underground music scene as sammy dee is, he can easily sign music from any established artist he would like, the so called ‘big names’, however, when we look at the past seven releases on ultrastretch, the agenda here seems to be another. what has become an apparent and admirable feature of this label/platform and of sammy dee himself is his clear support for new music from young and yet to be discovered talents. it is on that note that ultrastretch 08 brings you romanian artist crihan. hailing from a small town close to cluj, alin crihan moved to bucharest in 2009 to be more in touch with the underground scene and music in the capital as it poses more opportunities for him to grow and develop. from dj’ing in the most various clubs in his home country, his first steps into western europe as a dj came earlier last year at no less than the legendary robert johnson club alongside petre inspirescu in frankfurt. producing under his real name for the past four years, crihan’s release for ultrastretch brings two tracks, setting the listener into two very distinctive paths. the a side, * uelden* is a dance floor oriented track. the first words to come to mind are groove and rhythm, giving the track a somewhat funky feeling overall. the elements have been crafted carefully and therefore appropriately placed just where and when you need them. by simply starting the track with a bass line and shuffling hihats he slowly develops to a journey that not onlyventures further into groove and rhythm but also in mind grabbing harmonies with deep/airy sounding pads giving it a comforting sense of beauty and obscurity. the b side is called a doua dimensiune, literally translated from romanian it means the second dimension. doing justice to the title the track does generate the feeling of being in another dimension. it is a very deep affair into mind-altering soundscapes, very atmospheric and at times dark and obscure. attention to detail is apparent judging by the overlayering of elements featured in this track. a constant rolling base formed of water tapping ambient sounds give way to harmonies made up of strings and random noises on top.

sleeper cell is the new collaboration between earthen sea and lovers rock label head ital. recorded over three days and nights in a dark ny winter, * quality of life* reflects a declining america in a winter of its own. corroded dub atmospheres, haunting melodies, subdued flashes of tenderness and occasional searing noise swim together like murky oil in a puddle of grimy water on the side of the road. opening with the entrancing * initiate* , * sleeper cell* welcome the listener into their world, where menacing whispers dance and echo around synth swells and a poignant lead melody. from there, the duo journey through a crumbling and eerily spacious sound world.

a n a k is the second full-length from los angeles-based underground, ambient beat producer chad valencia, aka yuk, a founding member of my hollow drum dj collective. valencia is also co-founder and head chef of rising filipino pop-up restaurant lasa. (see: new wave of gives filipino food a modern spin – la weekly.) after many years of keeping his passion for culinary arts separate from his personal musical output, a n a k represents a fusion of the two as cultural movements that share the same inspiration

twenty-eight homespun stunners from the alamo city s scrappiest souleros. the royal jesters were the kings of san antonio s cross-cultural teen scene in the 1960s, soundtracking lovelorn slow dances with their heart-sick harmonies. for the first time, english oldies gathers the best early doo-wop, r&b, and blazing latin rock and soul from these tex-mex masterminds - a simmering melting pot of diverse regional flavors, best served hot.

tasty treats, another side project of the multi-talented ronald burrell dropped this 4 track ep way back in 1993 on the cult citi label out of nyc. as expected the tracks contained within have all the facets of that magical burrell sound healthy doses of soul, sleaze, deepness, late night atmosphere and that solid, no nonsense ny/nj house attitude, for the heads, the dancers, the all nighters and the freaks! this is pure shelter/garage joy! the burrell brothers back catalog is just ridiculous in terms of releases, styles and quality control and this ep sits comfortably up there with some of their classics. an all round solid ep for all true house music lovers regardless of area code or geography! %100 legit re-issue, re-mastered and brought back for the summer 2015 flex - dont snooze!
