italian producer dj octopus steps up for the sixth release on vinyl only imprint shall not fade, with his mechanical, percussion heavy ‘the internet’ ep. marco zanin aka dj octopus first came onto the scene in 2013 with a string of releases on respected imprints such as&#894,, hot haus, chiwax, hardmoon & love notes. since then his sound has evolved and progressed massively, now resulting in a distinctive brand of warm soulful, analogue heavy house music. the four track ep, features club friendly cuts best suited for a dark dancefloor.

having made an appearance on the label’s first release, jawgoh aka nick jorgensen is welcomed back to centre source with his full production debut, “serenity now, insanity later”. four club-ready cuts that move between disco, house and jazz. this one’s packed with proper late summer vibes.

we are very happy to announce the debut release of red axes on endless flight. maybe they are our most favorite artist at the moment. a side bubble cat is killer tropical house and b side ha jaka is crazy dark trippy stuff,if you like the production of barnt,you will love it

four-tracker ep of tracks i found on an allegedly refurbished hard drive i ordered on russian ebay. hand-printed linocut outer sleeve. the dark past side is for you at home: a1 is a slow burning, melancholic acid track, a2 an atmospheric ambient excursion. the bright future side on the flip, on the contrary, is made for the club: b1 is a house banger with one of the most fun breaks in a long time, b2 brings you the summer right onto your turntable.

“i still hang around” goes the deep haus mantra from clouded house (lobster distribution) label boss lukas lyrestam. stockholm born but currently based in london he had this to say about the record… “hang around is equal parts club-tool and introspective banger, for the moment you should be leaving but you got nowhere else to go. scandinavian masters is a solid gold thumper harkening back to the glory days of jesper parnevik.” ”on the flip-side two alternative versions give the tracks new legs. common labour alumni powel (fresh off a tour with lee burridges’ all day i dream outfit) delivers a smooth house odyssey remix while x-kalay mainstay kask goes 100% techno on a remix that takes no prisoners. make sure to keep an eye on the estonian upstart as he debuts on common labour in 2017 with an ep of his very own.” hang around ep is a vinyl only release, limited to 250 copies worldwide.

stockholm-based imprint swedish brandy productions serves up a sultry four track v/a 12 inch with deep and soulful gems. first out on the a side you get the track * legs lover*. equipped with yamaha rs-7000, moog rouge and roland juno 106, moscow based house and techno purist and producer harry light gives us an uncompromising old school deep house groover with crisp pounding beats, stuttering chords and distinct catchy hooks. harry light has previous releases on labels such as artreform, pro-tez and beef to name a few. the a side ends off with the post-disco sounding killer track “overland & sea” by london based producer and dj dan westlake aka westlake72. dan’s sound borrows liberally from the history of club and dance music, mixing and matching eras to create his own contemporary sonic palette, sighting the early and mid 80 s new york post-disco producers such as darryl payne and paul simpson in particular as key influences. on the flip side soultechnic aka deejaykul delivers the deep and classy track “addicted”. rául navarette, the man behind both aliases, has been holding it down since the late 80 s, releasing music on labels like atjazz record company, z records, peng, del, basic fingers and xtrasolar records, and remixing great artists like opolopo, the rurals, gregory del piero, kenny bobien, monday michiru, monodeluxe, diviniti and many more.

reflections is the spectral sound debut of nautiluss, the primary project from torontos graham bertie. his career began, as many do, with practicing mixing records in his bedroom before cutting his teeth in warehouse raves in montreal. after many collaborations and heavy touring early in his career, bertie has chosen to stay in more than go out, leading to a new direction in his music. dont let this lead you to believe hes a slouch in the live department.

techno is the devil’s music launches with a slamming debut from north american bad man d.dan. storming, rapid-fire 90’s techno. think jeff mills trapped in the large hadron collider with a 909 and a 303 and you’re getting close.

at last! this one took literally years to piece together. does dennis bovell need an introduction? i think not but in case you dont know, he is a musical polymath, top flight producer, dub legend and one of the finest artists the uk has ever produced. optimo music has worked with dennis before when he went into green door studios and dubbed out golden teacher to the max. this disco plate ep was already in the works before then but various circumstances caused it to take until now to see the light of day

presenting the fourth vinyl release, los angeles imprint reinhardt welcomes romanian sonic explorer akim# to the fold. culminating in four tracks crossing genres and themes, pulling from influences and experiences throughout a history crafting his art within the bucharest electronic music scene. taking elements of ambient, electronica and techno, channeled through a dream-state lens. the phosphene ep is created for the dance floor with a soundscape sensibility, making for an unmapped odyssey.

from his days organising free parties in and around northwest france during the early 2000s, oniris has risen the classical way: years of djing have given him an innate understanding of dancefloor dynamics and a firm crew and label to create with: astropolis. since breaking through in 2011, his tracks have rapidly picked up support from all the right corners: agoria, laurent garnier, john digweed, marc romboy and josh wink have all lent their support. having already released some of his finest work on bedrock and systematic, its now ovum’s turn to play host to oniris’ latestwork, the nightwalk ep. eschewing his penchant for the peak time, oniris steers away from the euphoric’s of previous outings and, whilst retaining his melodic moves, creates a selection of deep, warm and groovy cuts with a spiky electric edge. head-nodders, shoulder-droppers & hip-swingers rejoice, these slinky dancefloor numbers are for you. support coming from: pete tong, hernan cattaneo, guy j, lane 8, matthias mayer, christian smith, till von sein, luca bacchetti, marc romboy and more!

spell pets backwards to get step. spell step forwards and you get pets going back to basics. step is the new vinyl only label from the founders of pets catz n dogz with a focus on the rawest forms and root functions of dance music. step searches for the fundamentals with undertheradar house and techno thats not afraid to be rough around the edges. its all about the music. this new offering from polands maverick jock eltron (aka eltron john) distills some of his unmistakable energy into 3 riddimandblues cuts. no frills.

for their tenth release appian sounds move back to a full artist ep and invite us to delve into the world of o.utlier. the london based producer delivers four moving productions that will take you on a cerebral journey through delays and phased pads, reminiscent of early basic channel/maurizio recordings. after appearances on efdemins naif and fred p’s soul people music, o.utlier signs, with this accomplished 12”, a remarkable full debut.
as always, limited to 300 hand-numbered copies worldwide. no repress. no digital.

the ep entitled deceased unknown, a seemingly morbid piece of art (art/music) but look a little deeper! this ep sees b12 pick up the pace from their previous firescope release brokenunbroken “coduktor” an organ plays some subtle chords behind this track while beautiful drums skip along on top, to create a sonic backdrop for the very quirky melodies and top lines that constantly evolve and interpolate. a spiritual experience ? “dont look down” 808 and 909 drum and pads always a killer combination add to this an odd malformed bass line which never really reveals quite what it is doing makes for a pretty interesting track. don’t look down where is the question “blue and green capsule” a pumping kick drum sets the pace for this track which builds up using classic b12 style drums. the swirling pads and sliding melodies interlaced make this track reminiscent of “epillion” as featured on the classic b12 album “time tourist” on warp records in 1996. a track you can move your feet as well as your head to “minor decay” brain decay , world decay , urban decay , human decay , music decay, unavoidable decay - a simple straightforward techno track using its simplicity to conjure up feelings of sadness and thoughtfulness as well as joy and hope. a new hope finished in glorious red with black splatter vinyl with exclusive artwork by sarah sparkes

five crispy cuts of dusty acid house and uk techno on the a-side featuring idm leaning bass and ambient on the b-side.

charlie & jad said the main thing they were trying to create was music that was unpredictable, had twists, and turns. we think they succeeded. music is made for ears. we could describe it all we like. tell you its good, tell you its amazing. but you have ears, so decide for yourself.

final ep of trevor jacksons nine volume series, title track little things features a young (pre four tet) kieran hebden on guitar, an extended blissed out ambient cosmic jam flipped with slo mo tribal percussive work out + life and 4 u a minneapolis style electro funk ode to the island life. 250 copies, dont sleep!

praise poems vol.1: gilles peterson (worldwide / brownswood rec.): one of my fave comps of 2015. praise poems vol.2: oliver korthals (mojo / out of spectrum on byte fm): extremely well put together track listing of artists which i have never heard before. left me with my mouth open... - highly recommend! praise poems vol.3: dom servini (wah wah 45s): this is incredible.

general ludd are back with sunset yellow, their third ep for us in as many years. this one picks up where “are you losing my hearing?” left off with three more doses of heady drum breaks and spacey synth lines that have been psyching out our dance floor in new york for quite some time now with no negative side effects.

after about 30 years as techno/house/synth dj, borft now release joakims debut album. you can hear that he really knows what it takes to get your crowd crazy. this record is full off classic (yet bizzarre) house/acid/disco styled stuff and on the entrance track he got company by wonderful vocalist silvia on a classic trip chicago - helsingborg.... check this def. out!!!

we are glad to introduce this first flex001 by relative & lazy snail on the dub: in this 12” only vinyl (very very limited) each track is an introspective search of the key sound and of course the right mood. don’t forget the deep inspirations, the rhythm together with the blablabla… and so on… essentially something that makes your body move. the proper vibe for a proper dance.

few would challenge the claim that the 1960s and 70s have been the most fertile two decades in the history of popular music ever - a period which, regardless of genre, laid the foundations for everything that has followed. what is more, this period was so fertile that the speed with which tastes changed left a colossal amount of incredible music to gather dust - perhaps most famously a profusion of funk, soul and jazz. it was a musical legacy that lay mouldering until the rise of sampling in late 80s hip-hop precipitated a mad scramble for lost crates and suddenly, the music that became known as rare groove - for obvious reasons (it was rare and very groovy) - experienced a phoenix-like rebirth. a quarter of a century on and a million funk, soul, jazz-funk and rare groove compilations, re-presses and re-releases later, you d think that cupboard was bare and yet, even now, there are gems to be found. pt is re-releasing the rarest of cuts that often were originally only limited runs or private pressings and new compilation down & wired is just such a collection. always soulful, this features everything from mod groovers and northern stompers, to funky bumps and latin heaters. yet while the quality of all cuts is immediately apparent, only one of the eleven has ever been previously been compiled because when pt do rare, they don t mess around. in fact, if these tracks were steaks - they d still be walking around eating grass.

californiabased producer damon bell could not find a more suitable home for his new 12inch than croatian label burek. its his first one since blues for the libyan lp released in 2015. for deepblak, and it sounds as if the time off was well spent. two words that perfectly describe this record are rich and colourful, and the description is equally applicable to all three cuts. stand by me is a synthheavy piece built around the interplay between tracks rougher sounds and big lush pads. on the flipside, life is slightly faster and more direct, with a wonderful guitar part that circles around the main theme throughout the most of the track. similarly mannered, but slightly more intense transatlantic journey? we been here! is the last piece and features an infectious groove with lead synth piercing through layers of delicate arpeggios playing in the background. all in all, it feels good to have damon in the team. we hope youll enjoy this record

if you love contemporary minimal music, then you are certainly familiar with the greek artist stathis leontiadis. with his bands human puppets, exetix and plexiglas this musician became one of the stars of the genre. now he is back with doric. with this solo project he already released a single and an album on fabrika and a 10- on domestica. the new release is once again a 10-, this time on peripheral minimal. doric uses a special concept. the a-side is the so-called asleep side and is about loneliness: music that sounds paranoid. sleep of reason is almost unbearable, it s madness driven by minimal electronics. everything is very danceable, but this is the dance of madness. the minimal sound comes straight from the 80s. over my dreamssounds a bit like the early parade ground. simply great! head against the wall (a title that needs little explanation) is slow and compelling.

the frightnrs escort daptone into the world of long-playing reggae with both the sweetest and the roughest record of the decade. crafted under the meticulous eye of black-belt reggae mastermind/producer victor axelrod (aka ticklah), nothing more to say is a rocksteady masterpiece the likes of which has not reared it s head since the golden era of studio one. however, you ll find no imitation here - none of the faux-jamaican cliches of lesser reggae bands. like all things daptone, this record is above all soulful and honest.

lp vinyl special remarks: many of you will remember manuel göttsching by his masterpiece e2-e4 and know the fact it got sampled by far more than once

spirits is an ode to classic house music as smooth as silk, the beautiful vocal echoes its way through this deep cut and into your collection. alexander o neal edit of the classic fake is a perfect example of a soul classic getting a fresh makeover which works and will blow up any and every dancefloor. distorted vision inspired from dark comers of underground warehouse parties, hard hitting drums and a soaring synth and bassllne that builds and hits like a classic 4/4 techno/early 90 s track.

the greek label analogue returns, this time with the french producer octave aka vlaysin. heavy, raw and acidic techno. the perfect weapon in your vinyl bag.

we are thrilled to present roberto rodriguez s second release “broken b/w be yourself” on swedish brandy productions. this time roberto returns with two deep and stylish gems. “broken” with its jazzy, bouncing bass line, syncopated chord progressions and pumping pads gives this track its killer groove. spiced up with some great sensual vocal chops and mighty effective drops, this is definitely a track that stands up to all previous masterpieces that roberto released on many fine labels like compost, freerange, delusions of grandeur, house of disco, fina and eskimo, to name but a few

rsd001 features four new producers - ockham from lausanne, switzerland pete martell from leeds, england social service from los angeles, usa sofia from paris, france all of which have clearly marked their own vivid imprints on the sound.

next up for church is berlin via manchester based james booth.

system boss mike gervais is back at it, and he’s bringing a crew of talented conspirators to surround you on four sides with an original cut and three distinctly different interpretations. surrounded drops in with a thumping kick following a relentlessly rolling synth through taut drum programming, sizzling ride cymbals, and crisp claps to build tension on the dance floor. annie hall takes the suspense of the original deep underground, for a subterranean journey through throbbing bass, corroded synths and filthy atmospherics, straight to the nucleus of the netherworld. jesse jakob pumps up the kick for a jacking reinterpretation laden with warehouse synths and a barrage of claps for big rooms. project 313 slips into a shadowy maze of smoke and mirrors to bend their remix into a lithe and rubbery low­down groove, perfect for heating things up early or when it’s time to stay long and get weird.

we want to present to your attention a compilation that consists of the russian musicians works. they’re stylistically different, but in the same time they’ve got one energy and close affinity with classical sound. musicians in this compilation represent a little-known stratum of a new russian electronic scene. their music embodies positive transformation of cultural values of our present and future. we’d like to thank all the musicians and those who support us. peace! :)
