during these days where lo-fi analogue house productions seems to be the it thing, its time to dig out a release by one of the true pioneers of house music. not an outsider but one of the names thats been around forever and thats known for several timeless house classics.

here comes the broadwalk tales remix ep. after the very succesfull broadwalk tales ep and album by fluxion, we now release a remix ep. joey anderson did a remix of the track you dont know and rod modell aka deepchord did 2 versions of the track for you. its the first time joey anderson appears on echocord, and since we are a very big fan of his music this a big thing for us. the remix is a beautifull driving track full of energy, melodies, and power, perfect for the dancefloor, and a typical joey anderson treatment. rod modell aka deepchord did eps and remixes on echocord before, and we always likes what he do. 2 deep floating, almost underwater kind of heavy tracks, beautifull and raw, at the same time.

key records have a knack for talent-spotting. over its short history the label, headed by underground advocate freddy k, has plucked early releases from the likes of conrad van orton and shapednoise, whilst drawing attention to the insightful sounds of upstarts pvs and hector oaks on it s most recent release, knife . now comes hector oaks first full ep for key, which sees the madrid-native deliver a cool set of functional floor works, designed with just one thing in mind.

walking through the sky, five years ago christian naujoks, peter m. kersten and richard von der schulenburg started a series of spontaneous recording sessions without any intention or idea. the only thing what held the group together were the immediate results hitting the three musicians straight inside their hearts. jazz as a metaphor of instrumental conversation, improvisation in the most dillettant way, science as a matter of exploring the opposite sound of what instruments were built to, these might be parts of a concept where there was none.

one of las smartest young voices says the la times…which the artist suspects, may just be a covert way of saying la is dumb. “open” mike eagle wouldnt terribly mind, being born and raised in chicago where the painful winters and his uppity grandparents kept him inside as a youth. he spent his formative years watching alternative music happen on mtv and hoping to one day be able to audition for the native tongues. as a young adult after graduating with a degree in psychology, he did the next best thing and moved to los angeles, joining the project blowed collective where he made music and toured with busdriver, aceyalone, abstract, nocando, and more. he has also gained notoriety in the world of comedy by being invited by professional funny people (paul f. tompkins, hannibal buress, matt besser/ucb) to rap at their shows. he would like to be raps kurt vonnegut but recognizes that he would first have to create something as iconic as the four-stroke illustration of an anus. he practices by releasing rap albums that delight, entertain, and confuse.

style rockets 051funkwerkstatt feat. stephan zovsky - lost epbehind funkwerkstatt there are derrick porter & nicola john - both known because of their fresh own inventive and vigorous house sounds.

steve frisco, of serie limitee fame, brings us the latest bundle of hot tracks to hit wax classic in 2014. as the title suggests, steve takes us on a journey through low fidelity sounds and production techniques. think dark, moody, yet crunchy basement house tracks with inspiration taken from all over the u.s and the rest of the house world. it’s a generous offering as well. six whole dusty tunes for those diggers who are looking for something with a bit more range than another record of generic piano laden, house-by-numbers pieces that still seem to be flooding the record store shelves in 2014. the moods do vary from track to track, but they remain very reflective and almost melancholic at points. the title track, ‘adventure in lo-fi’, is the deepest of the lot with filtered chords, echoing claps and a sporadic kick pattern that often clears way for the track’s bass hits. now, compare that to ‘da brooklyn beat’. whilst the former had a distinct sunrise/sunset kind of feel to it, the latter is definitely more of a club affair. skippy snare hits and a strong organ lead the track on, and at the risk of utilizing very overused buzzwords such as ‘raw’ and ‘ruff’, this track, and the rest of the a-side for that matter, certainly captures that essence. stalwart wax classic fans will no doubt be picking this one up to add to their collection. however, i strongly recommend this ep as a jumping in point to the label for any newcomers out there

the long awaited remastered and officially licensed re-issue of gloria ann taylors disco/soul classic from 1973.

subterranean techno cuts with a strong ancient underground texture. sawlin reveals himself to us with something totally unique, just like the spirit and the soul of arts elite, but there is one more thing, we give you james ruskin remix served on a silver platter. no more words needed here.

nsm002 is me, mosca, again. two not-house not-techno tracks, a little more raw and textured than my last 12inch but with the same emphasis on dark, sexy grooves and just enough dissonance and freakiness. the greyhounds is a dubby rolling thing with an indulgent breakdown that i wondered about scrapping. i ended up backing myself because the crowds i played it to seemed happy, and ive wanted to use those strings for eleven years now. i tried to make clinical trial for the basement clubs, dust and metal and tape. thanks for checking it out.

berlin techno was the big thing over the last years, but you might know that in german cites like hamburg and munich there is a huge growing experimental house scene. hamburgs diynamic records crew or munich artists such as sascha sibler (innervisions) or cocolores (exploited) are equally well respected as the big names from berlin. one of the fresh new labels is toy tonics from munich and the raising stars of the labels are rhode & brown.

nobody can deny the fact that vilnius in lithuania is currently a very creative and agile place. first and foremost mario basanov of course, whose ten walls moniker swept the board last year and whose hype seems to have only just started. his popularity was heightened by the start of his own label boso. it took off with the highly praised -walking with elephants-, which was already one of the biggest tunes of this summer, before it even came out. the second release is by few nolder, another highly talented native from vilnius, who showed frst signs of life on connaisseur with his lovely tune -space espace- on our last edition of livingroom techno as well as with his remix for -canto d amore- by marco effe & francesco carone. -clouds- is the name of his boso release, and it looks to be the next big thing for this young label. for his frst own release on connaisseur he delivered -if-.the fact that it is different from his other output is why we have decided to present this tune in two versions as a 10- vinyl-only single. the original is a summerish and catchy house cut with a bouncy bassline and a slightly uk-approach.this tune makes you move without there being much you can do about it. the alt version goes deeper, building up with a question/answer theme until a strong, driving piano element joins to complete the track. lovers of older pokerflat releases will truly enjoy this version.

after 14 years of close collaboration tony allen stopped working with fela anikulapo kuti. after breaking from the band during the gigs at berlins festival in 1978, tony allen returned to lagos to start working on new compositions. his independence inspired him to break-away from his regular routine of putting 2 tracks on every single album

20 years in showbiz dj & producer ask:me (aka melih ask) s musical direction forges a sound of real house music because everybody understand house music, as it s a spiritual thing. he teamed up with munich s house giant, b.vivant who has an obvious commitment and passion for house music since over 15 years. together they present satisfaction , a deep house vocal bomb, which presents nice sounds from african music tools. so maybe that s the reason why the brillian south african vocalist, lokka gave her nice voice for this summer feeling tune. the huge deep impact remix comes from the colognes most wanteds bedrud & giese.

classic is incredibly pleased to announce that a certain man of the moment has joined the classic family. *one* was brought to the attention of classic when it featured on vinyl only release late last year. ears pricked up and more information was sought. who was this man from nowhere - producing music that was modern yet soulful, funky - and best of all coupled with his own vocal talents. luke solomon then championed not only *one*, but the general excitement surrounding something that ticked all of his boxes. reminiscent of the old classic sound that reminded him of iz and diz, losoul and the like… seven was approached and not only offered classic *one* to re-release, but two brand new cuts featured exclusively here. an ep aptly entitled *friends* is the freshest thing that has been around for some time - and classic are proud to welcome seven into their ever expanding family.

zwei weisheiten aus dem modeselektions-einmaleins. erstens: eine selektion ist immer so gut wie der abstand zwischen ihren unterschiedlichsten gliedern, je größer, desto besser. zweitens: eine selektion ist umso besser, je öfter man überrascht wird und je mehr neue entdeckungen zu machen sind. bevor die lichter angehen, hier noch ein paar harte fakten: *modeselektion vol. 03* kommt erstmals ohne eigenen modeselektor-beitrag aus (vom souleyman-edit mal abgesehen), einfach, weil es so viel gute musik von alten und neuen freunden gab.

a electro classic, highly recommended for fans of new order, the human league, orchestral manoeuvres in the dark, yello, the art of noise.

berlin based englishman matthew styles make his second appearance on tamed musiq with a wonderful four tracks ep called communique. recommended!

there is a common thread that runs through all of brandt brauer fricks music. it is this: interesting things happen at the interface of machine and hand-made music. the berlin trios 2010 album, *you make me real*, fused techno and classical. the 2011 follow-up, *mr machine*, saw them go the whole classical-meets-club hog with a ten-piece ensemble playing dance music live. then, earlier this year, came *miami*, a darker, more song-based collection exploring the same man-machine ideas. the berlin trios instalment of the dj-kicks series does the same thing with a mix.
the double vinyl comes in gatefold sleeve and includes the dj kicks mix-cd.

first word records proudly presents *the misadventures of a middle man*, the new album from essa. despite being a firm fixture in uk rap for over a decade, this will be essas first full-length since 2006s *grown man business* with dj mr thing. early releases *liquid love*, *city breaks* and *dancing shoes* (under former name yungun) established him as one of the uks most insightful mcs. collabs with guru (gang starr/jazzmatazz) and praise from nas and mark ronson followed. all of this whilst pursuing a parallel career as an entertainment lawyer.

doc scott was on the decks. it was at tribal gathering (i think), 1996, standing in front of a wall of speakers to one side of the stage, enjoying myself, like you do, when this sound started growing inside my brain. my head was then ripped clean off my shoulders! words are still hard to find! it was the first time i ever heard shadow boxing and its the only thing i still remember from that night. om units 2014 remix is paired with the 1996 original.
dj support from: fabio, mark pritchard, friction, surgeon, toddla t, laurent garnier, pinch, zinc, baliey, rob both, billy nasty, krust & john b.

we were evergreen are a celebration of life’s messy magic: their world is beautiful and deep, happy the trio of fabienne, william and michael are originally french, settling in london to pursue their music four years ago, a literal movement that’s been hugely influential on their fusion of the french lyrical tradition sung in english, married to a very anglo-pop sensibility.

title track don t stop is a loose and playful thing that chucks loopy, circular drums, little vocal riffs, synth stabs and tumbling toms into the mix and lets them all groove along for almost six infectious minutes. its a spritely, silvery and slithering concoction that makes you shake your every limb. stare is a deeper, darker thing with rattling snares rolling over flappy kick drums and wobbling synths ducking in and out of the space left behind. its a tumultuous, drum lead affair that toys with your expectation, threatening to drop or explode but never quite doing so, instead keeping you right on the edge of your seat throughout. the final offering is nian which again has super well defined drums and hits all tumbling and sparking off each other. it s spacious stuff, too, and the indecipherable foreign language vocals add another layer of intrigue to what is already a fascinating cut.

without a doubt, manfredi romano (aka dj tennis) is a busy man. co-founder and partner of life and death, a dj with a full schedule and someone who still always has his fingers (and mind) in multiple projects and multiple places at the same time. how he juggles it (or when he sleeps) are questions best not pondered. one thing those who know him well have surely noticed is that he does it all while constantly on the move. unfazed by the constant whirl of cities that pass him by, he somehow manages to remain focused throughout. no matter where he goes, he somehow always manages to remain local.

following their acclaimed *fuck off get free we pour light on everything* released in january, thee silver mt. zion memorial orchestra dust off an old chesnut from their 2005 album horses in the sky and coat it in glitter and shards of glass, not remixes really, but brand new recordings that use set-closing live favourite -hang on to each other- as a launching point for some rather glorious dancefloor excursions. the vinyl ep includes a download code.

i d been thinking about starting a label for a few years but it never really seemed like it could work. nowadays there is more coherence in my productions it seems like the right time. i will be releasing music from other artists as well my own stuff - underground house, techno and the rest, stuff with darkness and sexiness. hopefully it is music that will speak to (somebodys) heart as well as their feet. the first release is called no splice no playback and it is two tracks of house music. vinny (flamingo) is a basement thing, suckle (twenties) works in warehouses too. thanks for reading. -mosca

the two french guys are close friends. it all started a few years ago, after meeting in an exhibition, they started making music together. and the two cronies have this thing in common, they are perfectionists. its a threat, theyve been working over and over tirelessly for years with the strong belief of getting to the right direction. doubts, convictions, stories, evolution, creativeness, discovery, hesitation for years, and now vedren & leiris have finally decided to bring out their first ep on minibar!and the story begins
