nice price deal !!! first solo release from bauri in 12 years! the swedish underground veteran has dug up four of his strongest tracks from the vaults, never before released on vinyl (if at all). timeless techno in its purest form!

nice price deal !!! in times where objectivity of genre barriers is ceasing to exist, cueva records aims at the curatorship and exposure of their open-minded personal taste. a side of this first chapter presents two forward-thinking house tracks filled with latin american percussions. b side sets home for a long, smooth, textured remix. nothing else to say, just feel the groove...

edna wright’s idiosyncratic “oops!” is one of the most sublime vocal refrains in soul music history. anchoring its host album’s leadoff cut, it sets the tone for a uniquely satisfying modern soul lp. indeed, whilst many of its ilk come laden with filler, wright’s one solo record is an exercise in elegant restraint, a concise killer. officially licensed and beautifully remastered for vinyl by celebrated engineer simon francis, it has been pressed on audiophile 180g vinyl for the first time and features the original iconic artwork. each copy includes a printed inner sleeve with a sumptuous black & white photo, full lyrics and heartfelt notes from edna herself.

the kloom surfaced one night in dusseldorf through members of autarkic, naduve, stabil elite and more. this is what they have to say about it: -kloom, in hebrew, nothing. the kloom were not a one-day-band. they did it because it was there, all around them. whether we like it or not, the kloom surrounds us, envelopes us, makes us confess that it really exists. and you, sitting now in front of this screen, you are literally touching the kloom, an illusion that in its exceptional complexity makes you feel like you have the option of joining the other 20.000 newcomers. who will be credited for future kloom productions? no one knows. is there even a point in that sort of thing? it just doesnt really matter, because its too fun to bath in kloom

rothmans are back with their first release of 2016 and who better to bring in the new year than italian electropsycho s dj rocca & daniele baldelli. of course this record would have to pay homage to an italian great and who better than 1982 world cup hero marco tardelli. first up on the ep is a synth funk journey called kratos. rocca goes full on here and doesent hold back as he takes us on a journey of synth wizardry and classic italo beats. up next is an another original from rocca called fonk 400 another track that could have been plucked starigt out of the golden age of italo disco, again rocca is pulling no punches here. the ep is rounded off in spectacular fashion, just like marco tardellis famous world cup final celebration we have nothing short of genius with daniele badlellis electropsychomix of kratos. baldellie doing what he does best and taking us too another level yet again.

celebrating 25 years of foxbase alpha with this faithful reissue of the classic 1991 debut album with original inner sleeve artwork. includes download code.

laura jones unveiled her new label sensoramic in may with sam and karousel cutting the opening tape in appropriate style. for the second release laura delivers her first ep since 2014. after taking time out to experiment in the studio and refine her style, the why question marks an evolution in the uk producer s output delivering two incendiary underground club cuts ably remixed by trevino and u-more. two veterans working under aliases, trevino is of course better known as legendary drum n bass producer marcus intalex who has more recently found a home for his 4/4 output on klockworks, the nothing special and his own label, birdie. u-more is italian veteran and berliner, ivan iacobucci, fresh from releasing on apollonia and a slew of underground minimalist labels who delivers a late night acid laden afterhours workout to compliment trevino s big room counterpart.

hailing from the small town of stroud, south west england, marcel lune has been quickly building his reputation as one of the hottest new talents in the uk bass music scene. having discovered an 808 in his parents attic at a young age, it quickly became one his favourite toys and set him off on a musical voyage which is beginning to gather momentum. having already released a string of releases including a full album for studio rockers last year, this release with local talk is a new chapter in the ever growing marcel lune saga. this debut for local talk is nothing short of brilliance. an ep that sits somewhere between the early floating points days and local talk s very own crackazat jamming with harvey sutherland. from the opening track sketches marcel brings broken house rhythms, piano chords and dancing acid lines in a glorius way. the clever vocal arrangement on eat good takes no prisoners and on the flip crazy love , another vocal track, marcel slows things down a bit together with vocalist bluesz. the ep ends with soul music, upping the energy level slightly with its snappy, jazz-influenced beats and dancing synth lines. a beautiful and fitting addition to the ever expanding local talk catalogue.

since its inception in 2011 the fuse label has grown to be one of the leading voices in the dance music underground, originally kicking off with co-founder enzo siragusa s the sagamore ep , subsequent releases were kept strictly in-house with productions from the roster of resident djs that feature at their london based daytime raves (seb zito, rich nxt etc). in 2013 offshoot label infuse was initiated as a way of harnessing production talent from around the globe. as a celebration of reaching 5 years of releases, a three part vinyl only ep is to be released featuring tracks from the established fuse roster as well as a few new additions. the third & final ep features rich nxt, odd & rossko, archie hamilton & sam bellis strictly vinyl only!

following the widely acclaimed releases of fouk & kito jempere, our autumn release is nothing but a strictly family affair. kid grimm is indeed a brand new alias of our dear friend alland byallo, longtime collaborator of the label both for his production & awesome graphic works. with an impressive discography crossing over quality imprints such as third ear, bad animal, real tone or rawax, the san francisco born and berlin resident always got something exciting coming out of his machines.

after 15 years of recording music albert van abbe releases his debut album on self-titled label vanabbe. 9 signature deep & dry minimalist techno trips using small prepared piano fragments. you wake up on a gold-embroidered divan in the middle of a desert with nothing but a worn canvas stretched between two lonely palm trees to shield you from the blazing sun.

following his stunning everything is nothing ep, which kicked off the hubble telescope series for solar one music in 2015, luxus varta (aka emeric di paolo) is back with a new four track ep for french label, intramuros. ‘rosenhan experiment’ (named after david rosenhan’s famous study to determine the validity of psychiatric diagnosis, published in 1973 under the title “on being sane in insane places”) takes us on another electro trip into the human mind with paris the black fu from detroit grand pubahs once again making an appearance, on the track ‘losquato’. the ep opens with the wonderfully shimmering ‘wenn’ before luxus varta makes striking use of his background as a drummer on ‘lizzy’. ‘losquato’ is a playful addition with stripped back rhythms under paris’ story telling that bemoans a man’s work frustrations and resulting mental state (“i gave up therapy about a month ago. my therapist jumped out of a window”), while closer ‘tempsun’ is almost melancholy in its measured minimalism. recommended for lovers of drexciya and dopplereffekt.

-oops, he did it again. berlin dj & producer arsy aka dj producer is back at the laube. three head nodding dance floor killers . nothing more to say. comes on 180g vinyl with silkscreen cover by duktus. limited to 300 copies-

classic reissue 2016 depeche mode album from 1986.

after his last ep b.a.b.e on drumpoet community look like aka luca duran is back with a new release on akoya circles. the solid and versatile four-tracker spring and you again shows his capacity to produce tracks that are inspired by the old detroit and chicago house music combined with modern elements. opener spring & you is oriented by the early detroit sample process and reminds us of the beauty and simplicity of this area. a2 arms akimbo the most disco oriented track on this 12inch is a timeless swing weapon. on the b side nothing to fear a heavy disco-house tune that certainly demands a shaking hip. followed by b2 white stairs a late night stomper. unsurprisingly the releases of the young colombian - swiss producer look like are receiving support from heavyweight diggers like laurent garnier, ben ufo, dvs1& dam swindle.

after his great record on innervisions, the guys from exit strategy convinced nuiton to get this killer release for their label. like baudelaire once said: „you need three things to create art: currentness, history and last but not least coincidence“.

why making a techno record in 2016? in the vast stream of new releases and the everlasting quest of new musical boundaries, blint002 tries to focus on the essentials of pattern-based clubmusic. both tracks started as late night studio jams, using only a drummaschine, a synth and some pedals. while 92 avenue ended up being a straightfoward technotrack, including a massive breakdown for everybody still awake and dancing, you have i dont have is incorporating some boomy hiphop aesthetic without loosing its connection to the dancefloor. both tracks are linked by their unresting synthlines, straying around, trapped in a noisey room full of smoke and distortion. bouncing back to the inital question, the answer with this record seems pretty clear: techno is still nothing but pure dark fun.

did you survive the power noise onslaught of martyr of sores? this will drag you out of your hiding with a seemingly friendlier tone, lulling you into a moist rohypnol lazed daze.
she said is a split ep between two artists and two labels. released on sweden’s new prim of harshness - sores records teamed up with the legendary malmö record store/label rundgång rekords.
this is sores release number 2. here lies the rabbit skinner combing his body for sores.

black atlass is quite literally the only artist on earth to soundtrack louis vuitton and yves saint laurent ads while featuring on action bronson songs. this diverse appeal is a testament to the captivating voice of alex fleming, the young singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and who created black atlass as a vehicle for his unique vocals, heart on-sleeve lyrics and experimental production techniques. following the well-received paris single and young bloods ep (the latter a personal favorite of visionary director woodkid, who created mind-bending visuals for single jewels featuring fleming and supermodel anja rubik) and the three singles released over the past year, haunted paradise, tonight, and island love, black atlass is finally ready to drop his full-length debut.

primavera may lifts you from ordinary life: the apparition of rain clouds and droplets blur into a soft curtain over the world as the whir of delicate hi-hats glisten in a muted sunlight. imagine a moment where the most inanimate inhabitants of the earth ghost dance before disappearing into nothing. makker s spoken vocals add a crestfallen hue to the vanished. she monotonously recites her regret: -everything is dancing / everything is crying / it can feel so heavy / before it has begun- a denser, yet similarly sorrowful song, before i fall asleep is sculpted around nimble strings and webbed by breathy vocals, remaining slightly suspended, as if levitating just above the verdant ground. halfway through primavera april, the track is transformed by acid showers, a lead synth lifts off to reveal a ravaged landscape, diametrically opposing the previous peace. the ambient acceptance snow closes primavera with the self-fulfilling prophecy of its theme: that snow will fall, and the world will go to sleep. conjuring the surreality of renkas childhood landscapes, for all its reverie, primavera always orients itself toward the responsibilities of the present. there is an acknowledgment that all day dreams must lead back to reality, that all journeys must be fulfilled.

the first release by parisian iconoclast joakim for his friends and european colleagues at dj tennis life and death records is a miniature nocturne for dance floor meditation, a cascade of unfurling fizzy moods and introspection, finally tuned and expertly rendered by the electronic music maestro. -i met manfredi (tennis) through luke jenner (ex the rapture) in nyc. when manfredi has a few days off his busy touring schedule, he comes to my studio to work with luke on their collaboration project. we usually talk about synths, food, dj gossip and complain about espressos in nyc. about 6 months ago we were eating korean fried chicken and manfredi asked me if i’d like to do something for his label life & death. at the time i had a bunch of club tunes i started working on and somehow had a feeling some of them could be a fit for life & death so i played those and manfredi very quickly picked one, daemon. i thought putting out something on life & death was at the same time kind of odd (and if you didnt notice yet, i like when things are unexpected) and totally appropriat

what would it feel like to have your naked body slowly submerged in a pool of steaming acid? one would expect unbearable pain, of course - beyond the limits of our imagination - but with his acid ambient vol. 1 on kontra-musik, daniel araya proves us wrong. the ems studio engineer and producer adjusts the intricate ph levels of this corrosive bubblebath with infinity skilled hands, making the experience thoroughly pleasurable - on the verge of erotic even. your skin melts away with a sweet sensation of laxity and your muscles and tendons dissolve sensually slow. at the end, nothing will remain below the surface but the pleasure center of your now diffused brain, pulsating with unrestrained satisfaction. so come on in, the acid is fine.

nice price deal !!! ”rundgang” (feedback in swedish) is a track made with feedback and i would call it a.o.t’s very own and personal interpretation of dubstep with ”lyrics” that reflects his wicked sense of humor. ”woot!” on the other hand is an evil excursion in filtered frequency noises and a distorted start/stop rhythm and this is nothing for the faint hearted so brace yourself you are in for a crazy trip verging on techno. the go koyashiki remix takes remixing to another level because go has stripped ”rundgang” to it’s bare essentials and produced a very minimal and slow pulsating track that ends with sublime pianoplaying.

inga mauer loves trains. -it s a fantastic chance to be nowhere-, she says. from cologne to clone is, in many ways, a celebration of this nomadic sense of existence. -i don t need a home, only a studio-, she confirms. recorded in a period when inga lived between cologne and rotterdam, home to the famed clone records shop (hence the title), the music on this ep is inspired both by the emptiness you suffer in futile non-places such as airports and the chasm you experiment in majestic scenarios as a russian forest. both by solitary travels and first encounters with machines you always wanted to touch like an 808. six tracks constructed with razor-sharp drum-machines, penetrating synth sequences and estranged vocals. raw sounds that capture the type of clairvoyance that one can only feel when in transit, far from the chains of our comfort zones. from cologne to clone is much more than a train journey. it s an introspective voyage to a beautifully warped soul. a reminder that, in fact, sometimes you only need your self-expression to feel at home.

words mean nothing. no judgement, listening as a true value. words from iori. words from modvs.

first release comes from chicago s one and only melvin meeks. with releases on legendary labels like relief and target. there s nothing more we need to say about this great artist!

urgent’s main man deego fresh delivers the third release on odd music sub-label with a bunch of excellent dj tools with a soul, taking us on a deep and introspective journey while maintaining the drums as sharp and as tight as in the previous outings, characteristic of his inimitable production style. hot material right there.

london based odd are a natural fit for infuse with their rolling hypnotic grooves featuring in the sets of the fuse crew for the past few years. their cold fusion ep kicks off with get away, the ep s vinyl only track, a deep edged shuffler, custom fit for those hazier dance-floor moments. roll the beats has a distinctly tripped out sensibility whilst making moves ups the energy with a sprightly house-edged bounce.

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

lithe clarinet dances around tranquil piano, relaxed guitar decorates velvet synth textures and unhurried percussion makes an occasional appearance, as if to remind us that times still passing. growing beards more like, proper deep one. tip!

tom hang is the solo electronic work of lobster theremin label owner jimmy asquith. despite being ridiculously busy either quaking dancefloors across the globe and flowing into the world a continuous catalogue of acclaimed electronic heat, jimmy has found time to follow up his ‘tidy bedroom versions’ release with more original tracks from the heavily dusted harddrive. ‘the new world’ is a sphere where pummelling techno burners teeter on the edge of freedom before winding and convulsing themselves into varying mutant zones that straddle the lines between experimental statement and tightly locked grooves to create a record of pure dystopian dancefloor heat. there is an odd and refreshing unity here within the strict, bare, functional, consuming percussion and the heady, playful, and freeform nature of hang’s melodic grip.

when la label acid test decided to start the leftfield imprint, avenue 66, they looked to new jersey house mystic joey anderson for an opening salvo. he delivered the modern psych-dance masterpiece above the cherry moon. now andersons back again with more of his beguiling dreamlogic. on if one cares, they act different anderson works with a lead that could score an unsettling 80s horror flick, eventually introducing his signature quicksilver synths and abstract, jacking drum patterns. peace there starts with the square-wave basslines and raspy hats taking us to a psychedelic far away place. on the vase, anderson reins things in, but even his bittersweet, relatively straight-head deep house tracks present an odd paradox. his music so alien and human all at once.

repress 2016, mike huckaby is back on his own label > synth< with the final two tracks in his bassline series. if you were lucky enough to get your hands on bassline 87 (released last year on sushitech) then expect nothing less than two tracks produced from the classic detroit techno sound. hurry quick as you know mike huckaby productions dont last long.

a very future times sounding future times from jeremy hyman. slighty odd, beautifully constructed and very friendly tracks that please us immensly. he first popped up on last years vibe 3 compilation and this is a full extension of that appearence. not much known on the man apart from hes part of slasher flicks with animal collective s dave portner. tip for the wise!

incl. 2 locked grooves! elephant moon hits us with a super dope batch of new music this spring. the new release is a collection of music from several different artists and demonstrates the diversity of the labels output. across four brand new tracks were presented with smooth grooves, odd, whimsical sound design and dynamic dance floor rollers.

the debut release on sores could be by none other than martyr of sores. it is a project of the prominent experimental artist richard ramirez, with hundreds of productions to his name. richard has worked with names like prurient, thurston moore, the haters and merzbow just to name a few. he is also an avantgarde fashion designer. ’ceremony’ is a monumental noise piece in two parts. electrical whirlwind sounds that grows ever so slowly to take you in and tighten it’s grip around your very being. chants evolve in and out of the inferno that are nothing less than astonishing. a hard and beautiful noise work, thanks richard.

nothing lasts but nothing is lost – terence mckenna first solo ep by zanias after her keluar and linea aspera projects. this evolution culminates in a mature but radical project. radicalism has never relied completely on the means to deliver it. it also requires a relationship to society, to culture, at any given time. a solid background must be included in the formula as well. once certain stability is reached, there is no other way more than taking additional risks in order to produce new work of interest. finding different mechanisms to corrupt the methodical linearity that underlies artistic production. corrupting means finding possibilities to create an accident, possibilities to contradict, to prove anomalies within the frame of reference of that new thought is actually possible.

solid 4 tracker - his second for this label and following on various releases on l.i.e.s., dog in the night, odd frequencies and such!

few records have gained such a legendary status as chiapet s tick tock. the 12- single, released in 1997, brings back memories for any house or techno dj of the era. now it is making its return as a yoshi classic, with fresh remixes from loco & jam, robosonic, and perc. loco & jam s mix is a nothing short of a powerhouse. about as driving as techno gets and armed to the teeth with noise, it has become a staple in sharam s recent sets.

project sts-31-spiralgalaxie (hubble telescope series vol.3) a clash of the titans! celebrating solar one music s 40th release and 10th anniverary, this split lp sees two stars under various disguises, heinrich mueller (aka der zyklus and various other projects) and german producer robert witschakowski aka the exaltics, back to back in a no return odyssey through the depths of the galaxy. expect nothing but contemplative and cosmic electro beats using original outer-space sounds from the universe. closing the hubble telescope trilogy which brought to you luxus varta and more recently e.r.p. (respectively with the -everything is nothing- and -ancient light- ep s), trippy -spiralgalaxie- will mark a new step in som s history. as usual, the final chapter of the series dedicated solely to hubble and all the great scientists and engineers at the nasa and esa, comes with a beautiful cover print picture taken by the space telescope.

rsb finally returns with makaton and friends in finest form !
hand-stamped white labels with stickered outer jacket
following releases on blueprint and token, makaton is back on the rsb birmingham techno label, home to the likes of sandwell district, kalon and reality or nothing. with support from rodz-konez artists tomohiko sagae and corax on remix duties. makaton’s own repeat offender mix of ‘defiler’ is a drum led, punchy techno beast with the distinctive flavour he brings to his radical productions - dark and menacing. japan’s tomohiko sagae focuses on ‘defiler’s industrial overtones while the anonymous corax brings stomping beats to the forefront..

catalogue number pp018 has been work in progress for quite a while now. wind-s originally appeared in a slightly different version as part of the soundtrack to one of rohtheaters plays. the track features all the typical obalski elements we have grown so fond of in the past. dreamy pads and odd melodies create the sort of ambient that carries you away somewhere else (bravo!). we decided that it would be interesting to hear other artists take their turn on the material. the japanese duo mascaras (chida & 5ive) transformed wind-s in an atmospheric drum workout. fantastically incorporating the breezy synth elements of the original into their flow of percussion. press play lift off. the b-side gives space to nick höppners epic techno groove. ecstasy evolving progress.
