for their second vinyl only release, laboratory records bring talents from bucharest, budapest and paris. between micro house and house music, the combination of these 4 bombs presented by collective machine & marina karamarko, olivian nour, alex davis, ange siddhar & illan nicciani is the biggest tool of this end of year.

for the next release, eklo 029 follows suit with another split ep with one artist taking each side of the vinyl. this time the label welcomes to the family rené audiard, known for his amazing works on imprint blank state and his great lp project * pechorin* released back in 2012. he brings us * glow*, a weird micro-house shuffling bomb for the a side, full of crazy ambiences demonstrating his vision of the berlin party ! on the b side, label head seuil keeps it bizarre with * model funk*. twisting the groove, he brings breakbeats and that detroit electro feeling on this microfunk number.

was für ein zirkus: be svendsen hat sich 4 titel von 4 virtuosen klangakrobaten geschnappt und jongliert sie im freien raum zwischen schnittigem house, klassischer rummelplatz-atmosphäre und stummfilmmusik der goldenen 20er. so beschwippst und überschwänglich dieses manöver klingen mag – wer sich rhythmisch dazu bewegt wird schnell merken, dass hier nach dem muster routinierter dancefloor-präzision gestrickt wurde. dafür bietet acid pauli natürlich eine echte steilvorlage: be svendsen schnallt die schunkelnden klavierakkorde von requiem for a loop auf eine swingende bassline, schlägt verwegene kapriolen und landet mit jazziger lässigkeit doch immer wieder auf der eins. die vielschichtige komposition, aus der sich der zauber des schlaraffenland vom electronic swing orchestra ergibt, untermalt er mit schlichten aber effizienten beat-texturen. zusammen mit monolink und inspiriert vom detailverliebten tiefgang des micronauten entsteht der wohl hypnotischste titel auf dieser ep, nämlich ein wunderbar verträumter remix zu modulation transfer function. und dann wäre da noch die zackige vertracktheit von the one, welche die hörerschaft wohl unwillkürlich in menschliche kanonenkugeln verwandeln dürfte.

this holographic release was inspired by black hole thermodynamics. in the case of omni, the insight was that the sound content of all fallen objects might be contained in surface fluctuations of the event horizon. siren to siren is microscopically random, like a hot gas. a known configuration of classic tape sounds has zero entropy: there is nothing random about binary configurations. if one throws a hot gas with entropy into the g count, the entropy would disappear - producing aggressive bandwidths, and ragga baselines.

holdie gawn & micawber are back with sylphe06: once again working around their usual split format. holdie gawns * moon ride* is a haunting, melancholic trip in a deep mood, that stretches slowly and steadily over 12 minutes in a journey of enchanted synths and micro-grooves. over to the b side we have * vattum* by micawber, a solid, stopming techo affair with a large, deep bassline & kikcdrum, resonating and pulsating slowly. on top crispy rides, hats & glitches accompany the groove slowly, making this ep a fine comdination between two very different yet effective tracks for the mind and the dancefloor.

hypnotic and sharp edged minimalism micro techhouse. rumanian mastermind nu zau hits the b1 with an outstanding remix. amazing cover artwork, shrinked, 180 gram vinyl, anti static sleeve and no digital.

from the two individually revered artists seuil and le loup, comes the debut lp under their collaborative dj/producing alias hold youth. a collection of dance-orientated tracks, designed to make the body move, de la club explores the origins of hold youth’s fundamental influences to their modern day stance.a lp in two parts, the first vinyl is almost a retrospective of primarily state-side club sounds, but also of the pair’s early musical staples. paying homage to old skool production, the inspiration drawn from the detroit greats like moodymann and andres is clear on the funked-out, jazzy vibes of street my baby or the smooth flowing les enfants du soleil. hold youths love affair with head-bobbing hip hop also makes an appearance on the intro and outro, sampling the one and only j dilla, perfectly combined with their own personal beat-boxing. not forgetting their french 90s roots, kool & the boug oozes that warmth defined so well by pepe bradock and trankilou… a club track which has the power of subtlety to submerge the dancefloor that one level deeper. part two looks to the example of german minimal and micro house and brings us up to date with the sounds fresh from hold youth’s record bag today. be it the weird and murky territory of dodge this, or the eerie, glitchy world of black dog, their modern vision of de la club is darker and sturdier in its stature. but it is the ability to weave seamlessly between the lps two halves, two ideals, which truly characterises the hold youth ethos and their signature djing style.

frankfurts frank heinrich aka reboot was raised on a diet of real techno, gorging on many nights at sven väths legendary omen club. today he gathers influence far and wide for his own productions, often delving into the realms of world music and jazz, and combining them with his unique and relentless dancefloor rhythms. now one of the most in demand producers on the scene, reboots music regularly features on labels such as supplement facts, moon harbour, cadenza and cocoon.
reboot makes his circus recordings debut with two new cuts that encompass a desire to own the dancefloor, coupled with his micro-particular drum programming and relentless demonised funk. label mate harry romero returns to lend a hand on remix duties, stripping samson of his locks and replacing it with loopy techno. another huge ep from circus recordings.

is it his love for details that made him known as the micronaut? at least the atmosphere of his productions evolves from a multitude of intricate elements. these little bits and pieces might be of very different nature but together they complement each other in perfect harmony, creating the big picture, the panorama of a soundscape that is one of a kind.

adrian niculae, also known as priku is one of bucharests finest djs and producers. after releasing for labels like arpiar and all inn he has now decided to release and produce independently. going forward, motif will feature most of his work, as well as some of his close aquaintances. acoustic is the name chosen for motif 01 and experiment is the game. similar to his last experience with arpiar, bonita mariposa is a dreamy, yet pumping track, filled with shakers and spikes that go along perfectly with the dark piano. afterhour delight or possibly an intricate starter, it could be either of them. marker keeps the piano but inserts more rhythm, more percussion, more mystery while micro house is blended with 808 rims and an addictive synth that will surely keep you...

môme (fragil, 4lux, housewax) drops here 2 housy & deep dancefloor bomb. och (trelik, bass culture, autoreply) & jonas sella (telegraph) take you in a brilliant journey through house music, micro-house & techno.

a 4-track package traversing house and techno. first up jour de fete, a reference to the black and white 1940s french comedy – perhaps a clue to mr georget… one things for sure this is toe-tapping house. taking its time to perfectly build up the progression towards smooth outbursts of wailing sirens. 6eme etape is another fine example of get-up-and-dance house, theres plenty of driving drum kick and jazzy key chords, nicely pulled back and interrupted, to drop back in again with a renewed energy. poil de renard on the other hand immediately marks out its territory among the german minimal and micro house space. strong, syncopated beats laced with chopped up whispers and unknown reverberations, this is tough! the 103 mix softens up the edges, a subtle underlying synth providing the mellowness – essentially your morning-after dub version.

bucharests electronic scene is surely flourishing these days. new artists, new sounds and, not least, new labels appear almost every day. it was time for old comrades piticu and herodot to start one of their own. unanim is the name they have unanimously chosen to represent them. first come out the sounds of piticu which are rather techno and agressive. it is time to dance on both sides of tipic ep and we unanimously like the ideea.

vinyl only !! of course!! more than a year after his last ep, quarion returns to retreat for a fantastic expedition: a journey to the >moons around jupiter<. consisting of four tracks dedicated to the four galilean satellites, >moons around jupiter< is a sonic masterpiece that blurs the lines between house, techno, broken beat and disco. a certain detroit mystique (the futurism & outer space themes) also surrounds this mesmerizing ep which quarion himself ranks as possibly his best work to date … come and take a ride! we may share the ultimate bond with the moon europa: the presumption of oceans underneath its crust of ice as well as an atmosphere that is mostly filled with oxygen make this satellite a good candidate for possible extra-terrestrial life (more micro-organisms than 3-eyed aliens though). quarions >europa< hopes to reveal the secrets underneath the ice layer: beginning with a skippy beat and a tinkling piano, the track evolves rapidly as subtle keys and a cosmic choir appear from beyond.

slamming disco edits at it best, huge dj support: danny krivit, late nite tuff guy, ashley beedle, rayko ...
derek kaye married his schoolboy passions of music and electronics in 1973 when he constructed his first disco sound system, aged just 13. prior to this, with dj equipment something of a rarity in those days, he created a custom setup that bypassed the need for a mixer by rewiring his turntables in such a way that he could flip the sound from one deck to another, and installed a switch that would dip the music so a microphone from a portable cassette player could be used to announce the song on rotation. his work soon grew in sophistication and a new console was built, with his schoolmate, greg wilson, buying derek s old rig, thus beginning his own well-documented dj career.

3 chairs, omar s and patrice scott. this limited ep is testament to the wild basement energy that has culminated from these nights, beautifully pressed on wax for this first ever vinyl outing. remember is a swinging downbeat vocal track based around a superb vocal improvisation from newcomer chris raine. an ambitious opener, this is fine uk hip soul with warehouse dancefloor swagger to boot. next track, the benji b endorsed cookie strips the vocals right down into a swirling motif of sunrise energy. this track sounds great on the radio, but will also find favour on the more discerning soulful floors. for a contrast flip over for the kraftwerkian micro-tech of contact to hear what a werk party sounds like at a hazy-eyed 3am and finally, as if all this wasnt enough check out the dubby, spaced-out brawn of u&me which sees second outing for vocalist chris.... on this ep which rounds things off nicely. for fans of firecracker, exit records and prime numbers, this exciting and multi-faceted ep marries uk and detroit influences with consumate ease. one to watch... plays/ supported by benji b, rahaan, kev beadle, burnski, kevin reynolds etc.

strip steve returns with his second single one thing feat. robert owens, taken out from his ambitious album micro mega, released earlier this year on boysnoize records.

nice price deal !!! t-polar is back on rebirth with another fantastic ep, always striving to create something emotive, original and outside the typical lines of music fashion. t-polar had a long journey through electronica of many shades, from the microhouse stylings of early releases on takeover, morris audio, and karloff, to more ambient leftfield music on acroplane, to his gnarly, and at times woozy, post rave music on nice&nasty, digital distortions, wide, ls2, takeover and !kaboogie.
his previous >hadean ep< and remixes for nufrequency and bocca grande received so many great props, and >the archean ep< is another perfect combination of soul/funk and leftfield house/electronica. one of the hottest talents around!

you know a producer has got something when the first note of the first track you hear makes you sit up and take notice. so it is with 19-year-old east londoner joss ryan: the instant the jabbing orchestral motif at the beginning of >melancholy dreams< – the title track of his debut ep – kicks in, it hits your emotional centres hard and lodges in your memory. as statements of intent go, its a pretty tasty one, and tells you that this is a talent who can stand out and make an impact way beyond the ins and outs of the micro-genres and endlessly reconfiguring trends of underground music.to put it simply: joss is a grime kid who expanded his horizons. his popular mix of his own material for mary anne hobbss radio show last december already shows that the three tracks on this ep are by no means a fluke, and there is a whole lot more to come besides…

it is one of our traditions to release remixes of our favourite artists and so we are happy to feature top remix artists for this minilogue remix release on traum.
the >drop the mask of self protection< remix of dominik eulberg is a bit of an adventure! unlike his >diorama< album and maybe because of its elaborate musical challenge, he has taken a time-out to create a serious club format in the true eulberg style witnessed on trapez in the past. so what does that really mean for this track? well this remix kicks off a bit of an relaxed percussive and deep house groove and undergoes in its course quite an explosive transformation! with a lot of skill and finesse mr eulberg pulls the strings with accuracy and makes the transfer of what unfolds to be a heavy big pounding techno rocker! thumbs up this is superb and eulberg at his best.

continuing the exploration of bristol 4/4 variants, immerse proudly offers forth this decisive two-tracker from the prodigious mind of jacob martin, better know as hodge. you might be more familiar with hodge from his work as part of outboxx, who we proudly debuted on ime025. that said, he first surfaced last year with the deadly conjecture on another fine bristol institution, pollen. one thing rings true in any of the output hodge is associated with, melody. shirking the safety of sterile mechanics that so many producers hide behind, he tackles interplaying notes and harmonies with a fearless exuberance. opening track the fall kicks off on a jerky groove and ice-cold organ murmurs, gently easing in layers and clips of sound with the same joie de vivre as akufen and other micro-house progenitors. ‘crush’ kicks off on a more decidedly broken tip, keeping the twostep shuffle slow and easy as whispers of garage skip in between the warm pads. the overriding vibe on hodge’s ep is one of unpretentious, good times tunage.

this is a great track holgi gave to emerson during the last weeks and it truly is a hell of a tune, one of those you just hear once and remember ever since from then on,…. it has this warm crisp feel, nice chords and a monstrous groove that makes the good looking girls wanna go crazy. i am sure you want to have that one in your crate just in case,… the sound is slightly more referring to the minimal/tech house beginnings of the micro.fon labelsound but still it perfectely adds up to the labels profile. included are two high class remixes by tim xavier
