cyber dance records are back on the attack with a fresh release from the legendary perseus traxx aka nigel rogers, a 4-track ep entitled after recent scientific developments an apparent horizon . its a firmly machine-based and totally jam-packed affair reflecting diverse sounds from the uk s own rich history of electronic dance music, with elements from the classic warp -deep space sound- prominent as much as the more usual 303-jacking acid house grooves in the vein of baby ford or bam bam. lost dreams opens the record with a floaty dream-like hipnosis from the depths of space and sets the tone in magnificent style, followed up on side a with the irresistible roll of reverse the trend that takes the groove harder, further and deeperstraight off to the beyond. dark strings reminiscent of old lfo, b-12 or autechre vinyls from the early 90s propel us into side b on darkness stalks , and then we re transported onto the concluding track on the ep, distances , an epic closer that opens with beautiful reverbed claps and acid squelches before diving into an inky black void of timeless space-travelling and slow-building tension that could surely echo hauntingly around any m25 rave in the depths of a late 1980s night.

hailing from sunny los angeles, plastic love records kicks off our first release with an ep from label co-boss jimmy maheras. maheras made his debut in 2011 with his space jam ep on the crosstown rebels edit sub-label, rebellion. since then he s released remixes and singles on strainjjur, riff raff, supernature, and left d. maheras s two original tracks showcase his depth with the man from another place being squarely aimed at the big room dance floor and the second track, arecibo, bringing a little kraftwerkesque funk. we ve commissioned timothy j fairplay (crimes of the future) and cottam (aus music / ruff draft) for two very unique remixes. fairplay crunches down the original melody and throws it over the famed amen break to give tmfap a hands in air late night feel while cottam s remix brings the dreamy melody closer to acid with storming late night kick ready to knock down a wall.

after the success of their first ep, gilbr and dj sotofett joined forces again for an impromptu jam in the versatile studio. while one was recording, the other arranged it on the fly, creating the impression of a live band playing: organs, live bassline, percussions, live delay feedback and so on ... the result? two tracks of jungle hypnosia.

versionz is a deep house, groovy, dancefloor jam.. untitled is a dark acid after hours cut..support from dj three, severino, silk86,ooft & kevin mckay

considering the combined talents of detroit veteran terrence dixon and black jazz consortium man fred p, you d expect this split ep for finale sessions to be a lesson in warm, soul-flecked depth. pleasingly, that s exactly what it delivers. dixon excels with the sub-sporting alien futurism of -to the bridge- - the aural equivalent of staring into space while dancing to electronic jazz - and the sumptuous, minor key bliss of the casual deep house jam -starting over-. fred p, meanwhile, delivers two contrasting cuts. there s some acid-fuelled deep house futurism in the shape of -circuit-, and a chunk of bongo-laden dancefloor humidity in -the road-, whose rising strings and sweet melodies are arguably the highlight of a superb ep.

the double vinyl lp includes a cd-copy of the full album.

*friendly bacteria* ist das erste reguläre studioalbum von mr. scruff seit dem 2008 erschienenen *ninja tuna*. mitte mai wird das album via ninja tune erscheinen und am 31.05. im londoner roundhouse mit freunden und gästen inmitten eines besonderen abends präsentiert. gestärkt und erfrischt durch seine lange studiopause, zeigt *friendly bacteria* den weltweit hochgeschätzten platten-afficinado, dj und produzenten in einer eher reflektierenden stimmung. sein album beschreibt er kurz und bündig als *tough, sparser, less samples, more bass. more vocals and collaborations and shorter tunes*. *render me*, der erste vorbote aus dem album, ist exemplarisch für die atmosphäre auf *friendly bacteria*. ein schleichender und gefühlvoller groove unterlegt die stimme von denis jones. scruff traf jones vor etwa fünf jahren, während dieser amp fiddler in liverpool supportete. nach diversen treffen und einigen jam-sessions wurde beschlossen, dass der singer/songwriter und multi-instrumentalist denis jones einen erheblichen beitrag am album leisten wird. desweiteren kann das album mit hochkarätigen gästen aufwarten, darunter house-legende robert owens und vanessa freeman!

vinyl only. sol asylum s follow up to the wildly successful >long time coming< ep is finally here. this time around from dilated pupils, a collective group of likeminded friends from the netherlands whom together have a distinct flavor in production consisting of analogue machines, tape noises and raw one-take jam sessions. in this release they have created a distinct mesmerizing atmosphere with an infinite labyrinth of intricate raw analogue grooves and evolving dream like synths. a haunting yet luminous collection of tracks tightly binds together the three-track entry with a remix delivered from birdmakingmachine.

one of these things is not like the others. put veteran producer and general madman eddie ruscha (aka secret circuit, laughing light of plenty, dadamunchamunky) in a studio with the spritely whipper-snapper diego herrera (aka suzanne kraft & 1/3 pharaohs) and your results will be nothing less than an epic jam. as the name blasé suggests, their laxadasical style and confident panache is abundant. the duo ease into their productions with a cool hand and an open mind, letting the moment take them somewhere foreign to bask in surreal surroundings, but not without documenting the trip.

we met below the fig tree! panta rhei 003.1 is the first third of niccolò cupo s trinitas series, starting with pater & panta relics ii on the upright side. luv*jam s anthemic xylo remix of panta relics i concludes the well-rounded opener. strictly limited to 300 blue 7 inch vinyl, neither will it ever be repressed nor digitally available!

comprised of eight tracks, periscope blues is the culmination of a mission gone wrong. music for the stranded, the lost, those backed into a corner with nowhere to go, or maybe a reflection of sad individuals panicking on a tropical vacation gone awry. somber yet very tense drifting off radar machine electronics that feel like a blistering sun beating down on decaying beach remains as time crawls on. that or the equivalent to working the grill summers at jones beach and stealing from the register just to get a little more…

mollono.bass tanzt in vielerlei hinsicht aus der reihe. er schielt kaum auf aktuelle trends, nutzt ungeniert alle mittel der klangerzeugung und schlägt so einen eindrucksvollen spagat zwischen tanzbarkeit und tiefgang. aber da ist noch etwas, das in seinen organischen grooves mitschwingt und ihnen leben einhaucht: freundschaft. die ist auf der ersten von insgesamt drei auskopplungen zu seinem neuen album nicht zu überhören. die freundschaft zu seth schwarz kommt in dessen virtuosem violinspiel zum ausdruck. zusammen mit den dubbigen beats und warmen klangfarben von mollono.bass entsteht hier fließende eleganz von geradezu symphonischem ausmaß. wunderbar harmonisch fügen sich auch die gitarrenakkorde von jörg schwenzer zwischen die treibenden rhythmen. schon seit vielen jahren ist der tontechniker ein guter freund – nun brechen die vielen jam- sessions, die in dieser zeit stattgefunden haben, mit jazziger vermschmitztheit zur tanzfläche durch. played by : acid pauli, luciano, the glitz, phonique, helmut dubnitzky,dole&kom,benno blome,jeff benett and many more

music is strongly linked to memory, sometimes just a simple note will trigger a deep feeling of nostalgia or emotion. the new homesick series was created by music enthusiasts who are living half a world away from their birthplaces. their concept is a play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless, tracks which feel fresh but retain their memories. for the first release, the homesick team have curated three pieces by drop out orchestra, late nite tuff guy, zimmer, and amadei. doo have carefully reworked -no scrubs- into a warm, bass driven, disco jam suited for the dancefloor, alntg has provided a solid groove theory lesson as only he can, and the ep is rounded-off with a special (double) bonus track for all the people who love 80s-era french pop music, reworked by zimmer and the asia-based newcomer amadei.

emotional especial gathers pace with an eighth release from richard sen, a man whose cultured touch has had a hand in various strands of the uk underground for the past two decades. graffiti artist, graphic designer, music curator, dj and producer are all vocations richard sen has done at one point or another. here he goes solo with the ghost train ep, a dark and brooding release of old school meets new school house jack that takes its cues from 80s new york, italian house and the nascent uk acid house that sen himself documented with aplomb on a 2012 compilation for strut. naggingly familiar samples and a low slung box jam groove drive the spectral title cut forward, whilst sens mastery of delay is shown with aplomb on the dub version that closes out the record. nestled in between is the highlight however in *meteor shower* where discoid basslines merge with psychedelically charged keys and hollowed out steppers percussion.

the godzilla kebab label was started in 2012 by sames, is based in saint-petersburg, russia and now serves up its 6th ep, a four track affair that calls on various artists from across the world. quintessentials associate andy ash, label boss sames, sam williams (aka chamboché) and sam halsall (elevator) come together as ampers& and finally replika are the names who turn in one tune each with the results making for fresh house listening. bad cat is the first jam and it comes from sames.

this is the first full-ep from denmarks erosion flow aka henrik koefed having made his first appearance on wax at the end of 2013 with his his spaced-out edit of nexts too close. this record, manmakemusics first release of 2014, pitches the breadth of koefods sound-running swinging, gritty house against grime-infused 4/4 and off beat electronica. this ep shows the damage that erosion flow can do!

top quality remastered reissue of oses very rare and sought after old school vocoder electro jam *computer funk*, a stone cold classic with an awesome phat analogue bassline and some of the best vocoder vocals ever recorded. originally released back in 83 on the tiny florida label bound sound and produced by the great james mccauley, this is miami electro at its finest and it is easy to see why it has become such a holy grail with djs and collectors. must have.

jbla came into being after julian jöckel (midnightopera) and stuart argabright (ike yard, black rain, o13) performed at a party in brussels on the 5th of oct. 2012 on invitation from bernardo risquez & michael langeder (different fountains). they all had met for the first time the year before through michael kreitz from meakusma when different fountains & o13 played concerts in eupen. after staying at different fountains studio the day after the brussels event they set up a rather improvised jam session. julian played synth on a yamaha dx7, bernardo worked the low frequencies on an old eminent organ while michael contributed machine sounds and took care of the live fx engineering. stuart put together some words and brought a beat to the occasion of the jam session at the df studio. during the short euro tour with ike yard, l.i.e.s label head ron morelli and artist svengalisghost came to the paris show and were talking with stuart about the streetwalkers of belleville, specifically the sad chinese hookers out on the street. combined with news about recent foxxconn workers suicides in china and witnessing altercations close to the air bnb where he stayed. the belleville ep are two cuts from that session with remixes from ron morelli + svengalisghost and vereker, pressed on translucent vinyl.

it s time to celebrate! at catalogue number 20 uncanny valley extends its compilation-concept to 12 tracks spread over three records (or as a bundle if you prefer digital). with new music by label-regulars like jacob korn, cuthead and credit 00, friends like rvds & k alexi or filburt and fresh talents like goetterkreis & steve kasper it is an exciting ride along the winding roads through the uncanny valley. the three records are visually linked with distinctive artwork by the ever-reliable paul waak. part 2 sees the long awaited return of jacob korn whose der don is his first production for uncanny valley since his acclaimed album you & me in 2012. with overlapping strings and thrilling beats it s an epic dance floor banger and jacob korn at his best. dresden s goetterkreis and steve kasper put their focus on percussions and dub techniques. their puli kali (rooted dub) is a well-executed combination of dubby techno and funky uk bass music. also new to the label is lounge 44 who works up a soul tune into a climatic house track in best cut-up fashion. kornhead aka jacob korn and cuthead throw together their preferences for pumping beats and jazzy samples which results in a laid back house track that actually wanted to be hip-hop jam. free download included.

when luke solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with local talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we have been fans for a long time and mats actually booked him to his raw fusion club in the late 90s. he has been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. we couldnt agree more. lost channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby new york inspired house track comes in two versions. the raw & stripped version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with lukes trademark percussion sprinkled on top. the live piano version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. bubbly fx, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline. for remix duties it is the return of an old local talk friend, wil maddams. it seems like wil has spent some time in detroit since last time. this remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the d, his clever drum programming holds this track together with its deep pads and bubbling bassline. it is a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.
