its really hard to say whether umek is going back in time with his alba patera alter ego or is he exercising his futuristic self. its also hard to say if the four tracks in his newest ep collinearity will make you scream, frown or maybe even climax (multiple times). in any case, handle with care to avoid injuries

following a decade of producing and djing as hrdvsion, nathan jonson step at what point does this world become too complex for its creator to be all knowing and all powerful? to create an ever changing there needs to be an ever expanding complexity. as in to say never again because of impossibility. we are changing therefore we can never be the same. within this infinite expansion a complexity that has always been, is now revealed

fleeting wax is a new label by basel djs mehmet aslan and miajica from alma negra, whose fame has spread far and beyond switzerland. the ep contains three striking edits from the reaches of what could be considered world disco in the widest sense of the word. its fair to say that this is the embodiment of a now familiar basel sound all sultry playfulness, turkish delights and sun drenched pop not pop. the first is tais schlager edit, built on a combo of hypnotic marimba-dreaming and that irresistibly sugary voice. istanbul digger dj fattish immerses himself into the singer-songwriter wealth of his country. and label co-owner miajica weds italian cantautore passion to the dancefloor. with its first release, fleeting wax clearly lives up to its romantic promise: unearthing forgotten relics and infusing sleeping beautys with new life.

alan palomo, der mann hinter neon indian, schafft auf seinem neuen werk den perfekten brückenschlag zwischen dem sound seiner anfangstage, als er noch als vega mehr tanzorientierte musik aufgenommen hat, und dem lofi und der leichtigkeit heutiger neon indian songs. entstanden ist vega intl. night school zu großen teilen auf einem kreuzfahrtschiff, auf dem alans bruder jorge als bassist in der hausband spielte. zusammen richteten sie sich dort ein kleines studio in einer der kabinen ein, während das schiff auf die bahamas zu steuerte und die cocktailgläser geleert wurden. eine wunderbare atmosphäre, die deutlich auf dem neuen werk zu spüren ist. inklusive der singles annie und slumlord.

ourtime music return after a 13 year hiatus !
d ball s debut ep was an under-the-radar techno classic which appeared in a handful of stores back in 2002, it has since been fetching crazy money second hand & been the subject of much speculation about who s behind it. after some all ears sleuthing we managed to locate the label hq and were delighted to hear they had a new ep ready and pressed ! even better (dare we say) than the first release !
3 tracks of perfectly executed, pure analogue machine soul, in the motor city tradition & very limited buy now or cry later

karat welcomes the talented losoul! we can say it’s a honour for us to release 2 tracks form this great artist who managed to stay fresh even after almost a 2 decades career. he already produced so many good tracks, so many classics, and now such a delicious 2 tracks ep on karat. hope you like it!

vent adds yet again new sonic influences to its palette, this time owing thanks to its main curator tolga baklacioglu. with this release, we are pleased to add more than just a sprinkle of industrial and ebm influences to the catalogue of records we are proud to say is the sound of vent. to make things even better, one of more interesting techno producers as of late, and also sweden’s favourite son - daniel andréasson - wanted to lend us a hand to really bring the point home with this record. laden heavy with distortion, this release goes further than one can call the lofi sound - instead the thought is taken to its logical conclusion: distortion is as much an element in its own right as time, space and velocity.

from the mouth of lil dirrty we heard yall thought tuningspork was dead? wassup with that? im here to say like a phoenix we rose from the ashes, and heres the reason, lil dirrty and michal ho dont give a what about yo hedonistic freak-ons where you be sniffin whatever you find

max mcferren checks in for the third time (but first under his given name) on 1080p, taking risks and hittin’ on life over four tracks of weirded-out acid and funk-tinged elations on the “sipps” 12”. created in a time of complete uncertainty about the future in nyc’s chinatown, mcferren explores the purity of the break and acid ecologies, utilizing a “take me to your dealer” type of alien funk vocabulary in order to explore and push his own voice into a stranger place.

gorge is back on 8bit with yet another great release! for hidaya ep, the labelhead revisited his acclaimed signature sound, combining tight drums & dusty stabs into rollin groove machines that just work in the club. hidaya, the a-side is made to be played during peek time. an uplifiting arpeggio carried by moving spheres will bring the party to the next level. so they say strikes the crowd with evolving synths and floating delays, making it a perfect b-side. enjoy, we will hear these babies a lot!

4 beautiful tracks recorded in dat between the years 1998-2002... we think its safe to say that we are very excited about our second seekers release! enjoy

glorious re issue of this classic soul lp from the brunswick vaults. impossible to find on vinyl this album gets its first ever vinyl re issue since its original release in 1976. fully re mastered for 2015 and released officially in conjunction with brunswick records in its original artwork.

we believe this ep is as fun for the feet as it is for the ears and everything in between. with nods to influences past and present, scott has provided us all with four tracks that will stand-out and turn heads. it s time to jack.

vinyl only - 300 copies - no digital promotion - no repress. nothing more to say... utique!!

the summer heat is still on our minds and we all do miss the sunny days, the beaches and the endless open air parties… thanks sascha dive for the right soundtrack and this summer flashback: dives new release for cocoon beams us back to the high days of the summer of 2015: especially into the woods seems to be the perfect sound for all these deeply missed summervibes. into the woods is a pristine tech-house production that comes with a cool straight forward beat programming, very nice reverse strings-sounds and hypnotic house chords. a nicely flavoured chicago club housefeeling and exactly how we like it! werewolf appears slightly more spaced out, however we are still deep in the house universe here. dive is pushing it a bit harder now - he uses crazy chord sounds and turns the track into an 11 minutetech house journey. after the summer flashback with into the woods this one beams us definitely more into the darker and hotter inner city clubs. a massive tech-house-striker by the diver and we are proud to say it is one of his strongest works so far!

this 12inch is pure trance. who is/are rita furstenhof? we have no idea who she/he/they are. the a1 track, the mighty -hadron collider- was sent to optimo music hq about 18 months ago. normally sending one track is not much use to a label, but this was so good that we instantly replied to say we wanted to release it. rita furstenhof works in mysterious ways, and it was 18 months until the other tracks for the ep arrived. along the way there were a few times when we thought they had completely vanished, and we were never going to have a complete ep, but finally, here it is.

early support from surgeon & rodhad. two worlds feels like something of a voyage sonically to say the least. elysian synth-soundscapes & glitched-up drum loops combined.

wiederveröffentlichungen der frühen bowie-singles auf diesem *1966* betitelten album. 180g schwarzes vinyl. die ursprünglich bei dem britischen label pye aufgelegten aufnahmen, die noch vor dem albumdebüt auf verschiedenen singles erschienen, gab es später unter dem titel *i dig everything* erstmals zusammengefasst. in dieser zusammenstellung längst vergriffen, ist die neuauflage von *1966* nun die gelegenheit einige der ersten songs des ausnahmekünstlers neu zu entdecken.

over two decades ago, roland leesker would play and produce with artists that are legends today. slaving away with ricardo villalobos in his living room, creating loops with john selway at new york s satellite basement, working as a light jockey for joe jam and marc spoon, cooking the heat together with cajmere and ata at the wild pitch club, or running various record shops around the globe. since then, he’s invested much of his time, knowledge, heart and soul into electronic music to further the scene and support the art. now, he’s returned to the studio with his production partner philipp maier also known as sante to bring you a new instant classic, ‘my warehouse’ in a way, you could say ‘my warehouse’ has been in the making for 25 years. in that time roland leesker has studied the music, gathering inspiration from the sounds, people and experiences along the way and putting them all together to create his perfect sound. ‘my warehouse’ is a bass-laden house killer, with intense kicks and a gritty, in-your-face bassline.

playful & boyent electronics in a romantic den haagy type haze...right up our street.. tip! the label say: *ive know billy werner aka m/r now for about 20 years, him being from whitestone, queens myself right next door in long island. through time ive seen him go through many different metamorphosiss in his musical life, his m/r project being the latest incarnation....*

seahawks and their pal eddie c join forces on red motorbike records to create an ep of dreamy innerspace travel music, lush blissed-out interstellar synth pad dreams for the weary space explorer, washing over your mind and body like a cool solar wind, as you take in the luxuriant beauty of the local galaxies. gentle, flowing keyboard melodies that disarm and relax, well crafted electronic rhythms, uplifted melodies and plenty of really nice saturated vibraphone. this is music carl sagan would smoke weed to, music that swirls and flutters through the rays of light reflected by the sheen on this production.

140g vinyl bangers. not much to say apart that this is a stone killler. must have for fans of twisted house and techno - think early blawan, boddika, tessela and the rawness of night slugs club constructions series.

the talended italian based artist -sonartek- dropped 3 dope minimal orginals on the 7th rqm releaseto show why his music are unique. a deep trip into dark frequencies and mental groove tunes of high quality sounds. once again for the remix rqm hires the cooperation of francesco passantino & gabriele carasco for a massive deep break beat remix. no more to say just listen and enjoy.

we find it slightly hard to believe that it s been three years since blocks and escher launched narratives music with their explorative *sagan / broken* 12-inch. unafraid to stray from its drum & bass roots, the label has since become synonymous with encapsulating, poignant, cutting-edge music. favouring quality over quantity, blocks and escher have kept the narratives release schedule sparse, only now hitting the big 1-0. along with the founders, only overlook, asc, loxy & resound and rhyming in fives have had their names tied to the label, and it s the latter who returns now for the tenth release.
first surfacing in 2013 with the hindsight ep, rhyming in fives remains enigmatic to say the least. little to nothing is known about the producer, and aside from a free download that dropped last week via mixmag, the new 4-track light leaks ep is only the second offering ever from the mysterious musician.

2015 repress. rod and sterac (steve rachmad) on remix duties for heiko laux. hard hitting technobombs. nothing more to say! kanzleramt!

i want to let her know though
that all the nights
sleeping beside her
even the useless arguments
were things ever splendid
and the hard words
i ever feared to say
can now be said:
our bones like stems into the sky
will forever cry victory.

the fine folks at moton, that will be diesel and jarvis, hook us up with something a little special this summer, slimming their usual 12 inch format down into superb colored 7 inches of edit delights. as we head onto the second disc, things only get better. *my guide* is a high emotion d-i-s-c-o trippy balearic rocker that is already making the playlists of the a-list. on the b side *mans lifespan* follows presently, hitting us with never can say goodbye as we ve never heard it before, thick with echoed vocals and spine tingling guitars. unreal! pressed on 7 inch limited transparent green vinyl.

the originals -excuse me-, keep going-and first kiss , taking inspiration from ... they sounds fresh and housie, got a shaky beat accompanied with sexy male vocals. the remix -first kiss- done by jumaira, is the little hard version with an impressive groove, kittenish but tight. we can and will say for sure, these tracks will find their way on the dancefloors around the globe.

very limited 2015 repress! some say sparks is rays best work so far and we could not agree more. theunison response from our early supporters is, that the indestructible sphere of spark is shining very bright on the floors. supported by alan fitzpatrick, ken ishii, technasia, funk d void, joel mull, par grindvik.

180 gram withe vinyl. 3 strong techno electro tracks with editing & vocoder from carlo finlow and dj say!

limited edition of 320 numbered copies only, presented in a hand-made silk-screen printed cover sleeve. it includes a leaflet.
this record is the only existing document which collects an almost whole concert by kremlyn in their first stage as a duet, in their own essence, that is to say, with no musicians added. it took place in a little disco called *panagal*, on january the 6th 1984, and it was the fifth concert of the group since its creation in 1983. that was kremlyn in itself.

a new great piece of music is coming on the macadam mambo imprint, introducing the london new comer george kamm, met last year during albions camp cosmic festival. reinforcing the way things happen since the beginning on mm, george has selected and adjusted 4 cuts of weirdo synth-pop, alternating dance floor killers and experimental nuggets. no need to say that its again high digging level, and extremely well done edits. limited edition.

2nd ep by mistake made. no more words to say! - welcome to world of vault. makenomistakes

appropriate to the golden gate club s philosophy and attitude, -its never to late for gate-, ggcr is coming up with cat.002. it took nearly 2 years for this second release, we could also say, better now then never or good things take time, but hey, who cares anyway? to the content, -golden times- is a exclusive various artist collection, trying to reflect the wide spectrum of sound we find in the place. four very different producers with four different tracks but yet a unique vibe. techno, deep house, tech house and electronica goes here very smoothly hand in hand. while only three of them, saytek, midas 104 and elizar & dromme are placed on the vinyl, samuel fach s -technologie- has been added as digital bonus.

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.

huge package from west end of exclusive or never before released versions of one of the highlights from their illustrious catalogue.... arthur russell s loose joints... is it all over my face? kon (king of nothing!) sourced the original stems to completely re make the track utilising both the female and male vocal parts in his outstanding -duet- mix. also included in the barnstorming 13 minute original version that s never seen the light of day... its significantly and dare we say on par with the original version! finally included is the rare as hens teeth original female vocal 3:10 7- version that was only ever released as a promo at the time. huge release that s set to cause ever lasting ripples in the disco music community!

just in time for summer! some serious heat from the darkest corners of the tk disco vaults, dug up, re-mastered and brought back to life for your listening and dancing pleasure! to say trama’s sole lp is a rarity is an understatement! released on tk offshoot cat records in 1977 its swaggering street-funk attitude, tight ass rhythm section, blistering arrangements and stellar vocal performances from a young donna allen has left beat digging, soul, boogie and disco freaks hot under the collar for over 3 decades! often selling on-line for tidy sums (£250 +) this lp is a true gem, now is your chance to own a %100 legit, tk disco sanctioned, vinyl copy of this killer soul lp. re-issued just the way it originally came out in 1977, no tricks. essential

2015 repress - from the first glimpses of henry laufers work as shlohmo, it was clear that the la native and visual artist turned self-taught musician was onto something. with an effortless grasp on sound design, laufer combines deceptively simple and emotive melodies, subtle bass drops and swinging slow motion drums. his early work has placed him at the forefront of a new wave of rising talent amongst west coast producers… inspired by the desire to write songs and create a release of full-range instrumentation and vocals all his own, laufer promptly began home-recording >bad vibes<, his proper full-length debut album for the friends of friends label. some might say the songs on >bad vibes< represent the spawn of a new rhythm and blues - one that swings and sways under the backbone of henrys own take on modern electronic music. augmented with delicate slide guitar playing, homemade synth sounds and lilting, tuneful melodies, shlohmos latest output is one that will take you places - specifically the un-paralleled vibes swirling through this young mans head.

ive been over and over track running orders, while taking into account the limitations of vinyl. it needs to be a loud cut as anything increasing the chances of this music being played in clubs is a priority. the major development is, i d really like the a side at 45rpm, as before. as well as the extra volume, granular psychosis is an exciting prospect to be able to play at both speeds as its so fast. with this track list below, we re exceeding the time slightly for what i ve been advised is the best 45rpm quality. however, as zattrday has such a limited frequency range, that can be cut to take a very small part of the vinyl. i will talk to, about all this, and ultimately go with his advice of the best way to do this on the day. but i can say it will almost definitely happen like one of the two options below
