rsi is a new label affiliated to the tusk wax empire, and for their first release they look to the unexpected choice of the posthuman duo of rich bevan and josh doherty. hecatism sees the pair wander into deeper corners than their music is usually known for, trading electro breakbeats for a mid tempo production filled with resonant textures and vocal chunks that could nominally be described as house, while helioshock sees them break out the 303 for some heady acid grooves. the remixes of the title track come expertly chosen also, with disco bloodbath resident damon martin taking the track even deeper into something approaching balearic groove, and pork intl, who adds a distinctly more interstellar flavour to the original with its danny wolfers-style analogue house chords.

club trax, is a new series of records created by djs, exclusively for djs. pressed in a limited amount, club trax is only available on vinyl and presents reworks of classic songs from the present and the past.
this second club trax outing brings the spotlight back on a 91 classic that moved many mountains and greatly participated in the building of underground culture worldwide and especially in the uk. the shamen was first founded as psychedelic indie rock band alone again or in the mid 80s before it quickly evolved as one of the leaders of the british acid house scene.

part 2 concludes killawatts largest body of music to date, the opposing rhetoric ep, a 6 track opus of truly progressive uk underground sound that melds his influences from dubstep and techno with expansive, high-tension sound design. the eps second triplet of beats feature his most overtly techno-focussed sounds yet, expanding his horizons and dropping the pace down to 125bpm, and delivers punishing dancefloor rigidity and bass-immersed sonic force. on black air, killawatt threads tightly coiled syncopations above a grinding 4×4 structure, and delivers a near-cacophonic but ultimately heavy full-sensory overload. the flipside is divided between the churning swell of dark industrial aesthetics on art of discourse, and the moody permutations of reactive technique, where rippling melodic shimmers provide accentuation to its pounding sub-density.

already played by dave clarke on his white noise radio show and hammered by hawtin at space opening. acid!!!(no words necessary...) super heavy pounding energetic 303 techno in clemens very own trademark dirty bass-heavy sound. this is the real pure acid shit - combining the raw power of mid 1990 s techno with the sound of now. as always on neufeld records: the vinyl 12inch contains a mix that you will only find here and will never be released digitally.

passend zur besseren haelfte des jahres legen mollono.bass und ava asante mit mamazita ihre zweite gemeinsame ep vor. der musikalische ansatz dieser platte, ihre warmen klangfarben, ihre luftigen echos und lebendigen rhythmen machen sie zum perfekten soundtrack für die kommende open air saison. in seinem dub verbindet mamazita die ausdruckstarke stimme der ghanaischen koenigin mit ihrem energetischen violinenspiel und der zugkraft des mecklenburger vagabunden. mit here we go again mamazita findet sich auf der b-seite ein auf maximale tanzbarkeit getrimmter track für einen sonnenverwöhnten tag auf dem festivalrasen.

a 1979 classic back on vinyl.

the a side opens with redence delusions introduced by a delay metallic notes, and a line grating background that give entry to a hard nut to crack hype joining the above sequence to form the groove. the delays become more important as the track progresses, and more incisive percussion, dance inducing wilder. the second track on this side sagae has been granted to tomohiko sagae, the japanese producer emerges on the scene to give it a fresh industrial sounds dark dye forcefully included. catalog is part of the prestigious british label rodz-konez, in addition to works published in huehelix and atrocity. we present a cut with a pounding bass drum rhythmic against a distorted sequence taken from a radar air booming steel industry, and dark piercing screams that increase the intensity of its entirety through the plug-in more severe. a full-blown rebellion industrial sounds with those harmonics so peculiar that offers japanese school.

an entirely new label with fresh artists from any direction. both tracks compiled on this release are deep and spheric in their mood, similar in style, but rather different and special in their shapes of individuality. the a-side delivers a slightly straight and powerful track from alma. carried by soft moog-basses and playful spheric breaks in addition to an authentic summer groove it is definitely suitable to create open-air feeling - a glistening interpretation of a green morning. gebby dibson contributed an emotional and slow house production to the b-side of this release. in so doing, they patterned pretty versatile varieties of electronic styles. in this case its hard to classify, but joyful to listen to… just beautiful.

a quick listen to the radio suggests that disco is back, not that it ever went away here at retrospective and over the past few months we have been proud to work with some of the biggest names on the scene including heion, hardway bros and ajello. still there is certainly something in the air and so what better time to welcome back to the labels spanish king of the re-edits, rayko, with a stunning new 4 track ep.

the flames still burn white hot on friedas musics first record. this seems to be no reason not to throw more explosives on top. with the elephant carousel ep the second label maker don ramon inspires a dance carousel that makes even the most peaceful pachyderms on friedas soil rotate. all four tracks are infectious to body and soul. each for itself an original. all four tracks extensively tested on the party crowd by aunt friedas nephew. rather in a club night or at a funny after hour- hands were in the air and the corner of the mouths were rising high. a very special delight for the friends of the upper class reduction surely is the argenis britos remix of the track wild goats. all in all definitely an ep that streches the trunk in the sky!

they come from livorno, italy but these four young men seem to have landed from detroit in the mid-90s. raksasa is the debut ep of the talkin robots who have been remixed by the dextrous brain of jerome sydenham who has once again shown immeasurable talent with soul research.
analogic and definitely old school, is the sound of the original mix while sydenhams mix is dark and refined: deep techno for all hours.

good morning, mr. zhak!, said yuri somewhat officiously to his friend and they laughed out loud ... hence yuri appeared fairly crazy idea to write a release and dedicate it to a friend eugene (zhak).so the first release and the lead track good morning, mr. zhak is a picture displaying the story began of the day, eugene (zhak) morning. stormy morning rush, people on the street, the fresh morning air, the morning sun - this is not all that you hear and feel in this release. magical symbiosis of all this does not make you bored!

mushrooms project are the kings of the mid tempo and they do deep, druggy, chunky, sometimes more balearic, sometimes just more freaky music better than anyone else. check! their approach is hallucinating and all encompassing and is made up of the analogue sounds of guitar, bass, synth and percussive layers to create a dirty but unique background. their new undergrass album is a melting pot of all their influences and is a straight up journey through the mesmerizing and unusual minds of the mushrooms. undergrass is released on gatefold double vinyl with a bonus 10 inch featuring remixes of 16823 by brennan green and mudd. brennan takes his mix into the electro boogie sounds of an 80s new york while mudd brings out the guitar, layering up his own production with equally devastating effect.

selected by joey negro & sean p, classic 80s boogie, soul & electro-funk nuggets.

a refreshing deep house tune, upholding the basics of the genre, yet enhancing them and experimenting in various ways, a rare sight for younger artists. sweet bass line, nice non-tiring kicks, ambient sounds and low vocals sounding like subliminal rites, producing a sensual result that should satisfy the demanding deep house listener. remarkable rise and drop of intensity during different parts of the track, mid voices spanning across a few measures to enrich the different parts, and many other little touches, make the track sound refreshing even after many hearings.

starting things off we have runnin out, a mid-tempo memphis horn-led beauty of a track originally out in 1968. soulbrigada take the original, toughen up the bottom end, add in kicks, claps and percussion and the odd filter, speed things up a tad and lengthen the track getting the most out of mable john s effortless and gargantuan diva-esque vocal delivery. on the flip we have another soulful treat with a killer rare groove cut from 1971. originally recorded by lee sain (and arranged by charles miller) soulbrigada extend the intro, add in drums, samples and effects all adding to a truly infectious groove and vocal that will have you screaming out for more.

on the a-side, the delectable solk clearly proves that the exact midway point between mostar and malmo is in fact chicago. meanwhile, inter gritty takes you back to mid 90s stockholm with a viciously pounding remix. the closing track loksyra is quite simply the perfect marriage between onions, knives and a 303.

jon hopkins war lange ein phantom der internationalen elektronik- und produzentenszene: während seiner oft unbemerkten zusammenarbeiten mit künstlern wie coldplay, brian eno und king creosote sammelte er in den letzten zehn jahren ideen, die er 2013 endlich in form seines vierten soloalbums immunity veröffentlicht. vom ersten moment, in dem die bässe leise aus den boxen blubbern, es aus allen ecken britzelt, gluckst, zirpt, blingt, schlurft, schleift und atmet, entwickelt sich immunity zu einem starken und vielschichtigen album, vollgepackt mit den besten sounds, die hopkins je produziert hat.

theres a feeling... a sense of urgency in the air... things are going wrong and some things have never been right

the recordings for the wires cracked were completed in a frenzied two week period in october of 2012. i had mentioned in discussing a previous albums construction that i prefer to forget how i build any particular electro-acoustic amalgam. this is so that i dont get to precious with them, so that i could refine them further, so that the sounds themselves speak beyond their aggregate parts. with the album being relatively fresh in my mind, i can still recall various components to the wires cracked -- the desolate howl of a metal screen activated by a desert wind, the hissing air compression from the cooling apparatus for a laser at the slac national accelerator laboratory operated by stanford university, and the tremolo rhythms from a thin wire that still get me thinking fondly of günter schickert -- but much of the caustic drone, thrumming reverberation, and tactile grit thoroughly escapes me. that is probably for the best, since these various parts speak to an existential rupturing, the collapse of the self, the aftershocks of dark energy, and a belief in the hope for renewal.
