the 4th moment records installment brings us an intriguing collaboration between the labels owner, barac, and the french electronic composer lyonel bauchet.
stretching on over 12 minutes, buchla market unveils the symbiotic beauty born when these 2 creative energies collided in the studio: barac’s signature tension building percussion as the perfect high contrast background for lyonel’s buchla electronic symphonia pieces. flipping the record we find pavane, the uptempo version of this collaboration: wind like hisses lost in the crisp techno patterns, broken only by outworldly analog reverbs. moment 004 is a bridge between don buchlas electronic visions, started over 50 years ago and what electronic music has transformed into in our times.

following the acclaim of time travelers im made of stars lp, michele pinna presents the remixes report i, featuring remixes of tracks from the album by four key names in european and us techno. these remixes take pinnas dystopian sci-fi vision and place it firmly in the club, with each artist providing their own unique take on a different track from the album.

as we welcome another talented artist to our family we asked viken about the first part of a two part release and he told us it s really important to understand that this ep is a series of pictures telling a story. combining the names of all the tracks one gets this interesting and dreamy sentence, on a blue road a white shadow feels the winter. to translate these pictures into music, i needed a very particular sound. since i am a huge fan of jazz music i took one of my favorite records, used a lot of samples and reworked them in my own way. from the technical aspect, i decided to reconnect with my first love: analog machines. i love working with sound textures. i stayed away from my laptop and all my vst/plugins as i felt the need to compose these tracks in an unusual way: i wanted the sound to be really pure. that s the reason why this process was so essential for me. for me, this ep is the first one to sound like this. this is the first of two releases from a deeply talented soul. a patient collage of house, jazz, acid squiggles and deep emotion. played and loved all summer long by lee burridge at all day i dream, these tracks will stay with you through winter and into next summer.

2016 repress - following on almost 5 years after their first release *journey to the centre of the sun* on esp institute. 2 big excursions from a couple of very well respected heads. featuring the label’s very own tako reyenga (red light records, music from memory) and jonny nash (melody as truth, land of light) these two tracks were cut from a weekend of sprawling space-jams recorded in jonny’s north london home in 2012 and until recently were thought to be lost.

the extraordinary prolongation of sound jerked polly’s pretty head away from her work at the calibration machine. today’s jobs had seen her at her thorough and meticulous best but as afternoon melted easily into evening, these latest reverberations meant she’d no longer be able to focus to the level required. her boss had just dropped the bomb. as her ear drums filtered the noise, the technician’s bright mind was flooded with delight, her eyes no longer felt dry and tight with concentration, she was caught riding the crest of a massive wave of admiration. sitting her specs on the desk and pushing herself off the comfortable heat of her work stool, miss filla let the soundwaves pull her to her feet and carry her off to the main source of the captivating music. in honour of dixon avenue basement jams spending four years at the forefront of the global electronic music scene a new release was planned to shake the foundation to the very core. techno wizard big miz had been charged with delivering the goods and by the gods, the glaswegian had cracked it! he’d created, not just new tunes, but a whole new fucking genre. polly could feel the vibrations pulsating through every part of her curvaceous body as she sashayed along to the seductive beat.

josh praus has been involved in san francisco’s bay area scene for the last two decades. a prolific collector and player of records, what we tellin’ them marks his first public outing as a producer. as debuts go, it’s pretty darn impressive.
praus has been working hard in the studio over the last three years, creating tracks that draw influence from a wide range of styles and artists. he cites “downtempo, disco, house, italo and techno” as major inspirations, and listeners may hear elements from all of these disparate styles on this assured, confident ep.

enjoy these tracks from the soon-arriving powell album sport. these versions of frankie + johnny are a little different though, featuring bonus vocals from jonnine standish out of htrk.

future sound of antwerp are the post-digital children of the citys techno scene, all forgotten mixtapes, and nighttime drives to ghent. these three tracks, all different, were all produced and mixed at deewee, at night, with a purpose.

hailing from holland monocorpse serves dark electronix/techno… extremely minimal, raw and primitive in sound and the tracks are ritual and occult in orientation and mood… think of the previous gooiland elektro releases by drvg cvltvre and ekman but stripped down to the essence and pitch black… also comparisons with ancient methods have already been made… but these tracks have a nasty and dirty sound of their own ... this 12” ep is something for the real freaks out there.
limited 150 copies.

being heavily championed by the likes of a:rpia:r, cezar, priku and barac, it is now the time to share these precious cuts with everyone. after critically acclaimed debut albums, ada kaleh (dene descris lp) and sepp (timpuriu lp) dive even deeper into rhythm and sound with personal interpretations of an outstanding late night chicago gem from minus & ion, originally released on the models adult central, a close friend and collaborator. crafting pieces of the the original sounds, on the a side ada kaleh delivers an introspective, minimalistic version of the original, while the b side takes us on a darker, ever evolving journey, courtesy of sepp. bucharest based photographer felicia simion masterfully captures the natural and organic soundscapes with a wonderful visual interpretation.

cocytus, meaning -the river of wailing“, is a river in the underworld in greek mythology. it flows into the river acheron, across which is the underworld, the mythological abode of the dead. dante describes cocytus in inferno as being the home of traitors and those who committed acts of complex fraud. the river of wailing is divided into four arms: antenora, after antenor from the iliad, traitors to country. judecca, after judas iscariot, traitors to masters and benefactors. caina, after the biblical cain, traitors to blood relatives. ptolomea, after ptolemy, governor of jericho, who murdered his guests (1 maccabees), traitors to guests. based on these assumptions cot labelhead hours crafted three pensive tracks, one of which was reinterpreted by brian sanhaji.

former descent is the free spirited project by the mastermind behind neurobit and rioteer… with this project he blends in a very successful way minimalism and lo-fi electronics with tough rhythms… these rhythm based tracks take its cue from old school ebm and new beat… this while the melodic elements give the tracks just the right touches to draw you deeper into them… harsh and playful and light and dark never went so well together before… resulting in pure rave anthems!
limited 200 copies.

theres already a huge buzz about this release, with the likes of gilles peterson, simbad and lay-far showing their love for these dance floor killers from aroop roy, whose recent work on gamm and basic fingers has been a runaway success in both mainstream and underground scenes.

boot & tax are back. after two 12inches for optimo trax and an album on optimo music they return to optimo trax with their first new music of the year, just before it ends. four tracks of spangled, idiosyncratic, woozily spacious and slightly off kilter music that could only have been made by these two milanese maestros. as ever on optimo trax a quadruple a side where all tracks share equal billing.

its the music of the space that extends between oceans and mountain slopes. its the music of the space that is much bigger and much more adventurous than the four walls of a club look like. its the latest record on acker, and it orbits around a song from il civetto. the band from berlin is a wonderfully multicultural bunch. their sound is reminiscent of gypsy, folk or swing, but at the same time it doesnt really fit any of these labels. liberté ana is a perfect example. monolink turns this track into a groovy downbeat tune that vibrates much higher than its low bpm count - the perfect soundtrack for laid-back afternoons or afterhours. pophop does what he does best: party. however, between the catchy bassline and the tight percussions of his remix theres still a lot of space for the soul of liberté ana. umami goes even further and creates an ecstatic banger that has everything it takes to be played during the prime time on the dance floor.

after releasing their own debut record in 2014 the hamburg based group sky walking formed by peter kersten, christian naujoks and richard von der schulenburg now celebrates the launch of their self-titled label. by bringing together an international line-up of artists mostly associated with the new and experimental music scenes in cities like hamburg, berlin and new york sky walking not only establishes a link between different locations and their specific (local) scenes – with the golden pudel club in hamburg somehow functioning as a bermuda triangle – but also between different generations of artists from these scenes.

the 1992 bon jovi classic back on double 180 gram vinyl in gatefold sleeve

mace. appearances are scarce. as his music is. scarce, dirty, brown and miserable, as the bunker guys would say. a mechanical reflection, not a choice of soothing harmonics. not melodious structures. the survival of the fittest, harsh economics, suicidal stock brokers, piling up as much as possible before leaving. these are four things everyone will be talking about today. and so lux rec does. the last piece is a joint venture together with diana berti of veleno viola .

digging deep into the annals of gospel now, the name pastor tl barrett should be familiar to the eagle eyed crate diggers amongst you. an extremely colourful character from chicagos southside neighbourhood who found himself on the wrong side of the law for his involvement in some activities of a dubiously illegal nature, more importantly, besides this the pastor was widely known for his community activism and positive sermons preaching love and responsibility.

a pleasure to have these guys on our 2nd release. sdt002 comes with 4 tracks by ra.pu & unknown / jerome.c / nekow & lamalice / octave. limited to 350 copies / 180g black wax / vinyl only.

john tejada and arian leviste are back on areal after their much celebrated release “reactance“. these guys are working for 25 years together meeting up weekly in the studio to try new things. they say themselves that it is their longest and most special collaboration. they use mainly hardware with an old school mind set that comes more from the early 80s nyc hip hop culture than anything else. early pioneers misusing gear and making the best of their limitations. their newest release “hysteresis“ comes along strongly functional for the club.

units and measurements is the collaborative project of christopher hreno, mathew jonson and colin de la plante. the project sees these long times friends and veteran producers exploring the limits of hardware based improvisation and deep synthesis and effects programing . documenting a single epic 24 hour session at jonson s mothership studio in berlin, this first release sees the trio exploring some of the headiest ambient and tunneling hypnotic techno to be found in any of their admittedly vast individual back catalogs. this release is without question a portrait of 3 masters of their craft at work, and quite unlike anything else you are likely to hear this year. units and measurements will be available in a double vinyl and digital formats on november 4th via blkrtz, with worldwide distribution via kompakt.

after excellent remixes for kalyma (connected 006) and terranova (connected 004) aaaron releases his own ep on connected. closely associated with rampa, kalyma and florian busse, amongst other minimal deep/tech house explorers, aaaron started collecting & playing vinyl at the age of 15. one year later he bought his first sampler and started producing. moving to berlin in 2003 expanded his knowledge to electronic dance music. berlin was start- of-the-art for genres like house & minimal techno back in these days. in 2013 aaaron released “feelin this”, his highest selling single so far which was released on defected records and was played & gained broad support from jamies jones, mk, hot since 82, claptone, tensnake, waifs & strays, rampa, re.you and many more. after this,he released in 2014 splendid on get physical music followed by another cutting-edge ep for defected records named -what makes you itch. in 2015 he released whatcha say on jena s fatplastics label which sven va&#776,,th included in his sound of the 16th season ibiza compilatio

coastdream from brazil is the third artist on the deeptrax label. again a full 4 track ep, with these raw massive beats over a 90s feel, ecstatic house landscape which has that totally unique, beautiful naive and devastating dancefloor destruction factor

antonio from italy, pescara, now living in frankfurt germany, is doing the 4th ep on deeptrax. heavy hitting tape techno tracks, some with pace, others with that charming italian passion into it. harsh groovin but deep basement tracks for these wrenching, pumped up, club nights in abandoned warehouses. raw chicago house and detroit techno on a twist.

fresh off releases on bastard jazz, kat and lumberjacks in hell, phil gerus is about to blow up and these 4 tracks on tugboat edits demonstrate why. “let me love you” opens the a side, followed by the neu deutsche welle of “mistress uniform” while “get funky…” and “cyanide” keep the party going! hand stamped, limited edition of 400.

out of the buoyant melbourne house, disco and edits scene, power cuts kicks off as a sublabel of power station with label boss kris baha joined by some likeminded heads for four varied and generally far out party joints. these are after all eclectic times we live in, and power cuts reflects this by veering from jonny 5 s dense and tense -voices- to the limber afro inflections of dreems -ahead temper-. baha himself delivers the industrialized thrust of -heart of foil- and then otologic finish the record on a jolly note with the charming, synthy delights of -ballada kwasu-.

rumours have been swirling that hillary d. rodham has teamed up with wall street to take on the kremlin s most powerful sleeper agent and dearest droog of mr. putin, donald trump. in response, trump has hired a group of hackers to penetrate the dnc s e-mail server. for unknown reasons several of the files attached to these e-mails have been labeled as stereoyunost . wikileaks was kind enough to release audio recordings to mysidian that were found on the server and have immediately been pressed to vinyl. don jones & bill benjamins have been linked to the recordings but we re still unsure who stereoyunost is and the connection they all have with each other. super limited us imports

cloud corridors is the first release of jan philipp longerich alias processed.sunshine and also the debut on his imprint fertile imagination music, which stands for puristic grooves, deep and dreamy vibes and an all in all raw sound that sticks tight to the original idea of a track. inspired by different formations of clouds and their movements, the record takes the lsistener from huge cloud castles in wolkenburg through cloud corridors down into the dark vibe of the fog. minimalistic drum manchine patterns, deep pads, hypnotic sequences and morphing basslines give the record its warm, lively and feral character. the lp was completely created out of live sessions with analog equipment and each track was recorded in one take. - these bouncing analog grooves are made for after hours in the early morning.

it is with pride that we embark lauhaus on the mfd ship for the 4th release, for a truly immersive eargasmic plate of vinyl! he has taken us, and many heads already through some intense dance floor moments with these crafty cuts that will no doubt keep feet and souls activated. do check the inner writings on the vinyl for some surprise dub action

going back to classics could fall so easily, luckily for skudge presents, the persistent and class-act of mark broom leaves the mediocre in its rubble. eric cloutier: broom is a legend. i can t even count how many of his records i own. both of these are pure fire loving it! the kicking a-side, moments1, with the high paced energy and flirtations with the dutch classic style of techno-house crossover brings a smile upon djs and dancers alike - without going too much into nostalgia, this track is sure to find its way through the peak times. moments2 on the flip submerges deeper into this records vibe, with a progression that throbs more than kicks, with a saw tooth lead that keeps the moody atmosphere intact. a sure-shot 2 tracker is what we need and what we get

vaghe is a man of few words. he wanders, seemingly endlessly, through a lonely, gargantuan labyrinth of concrete and steel, fighting off ghosts and other futuristic nightmares, searching only for something called the full stream ahead. who is this quiet, determined man and what are these ghosts he seeks? the small communities he finds tucked into the crevices of this towering, dystopic ruin hardly give him leads on his treasure, driving him to find larger enclaves of civilization where people can reveal more about the world he lives in and the quarry he seeks. if vaghe is going to find the treasure he seeks, he will need more help and information than the inhabitants of these beleaguered outposts can offer. he needs to find a larger cluster of civilization, but he’ll have to survive the trip to get there, first… following his 2014 ‘sweet sixteen’, and his 2015 ‘abstract speed + sound’ other people is pleased to announce the full stream ahead: the prologue by turin’s daniele mana aka vaghe stelle. previously associated with italian label gang of ducks and a current member of production group one circle with fellow nationals lorenzo senni and a:ra, daniele’s roots in the emerging italian production scene run deep and place him at its center.

it took 2 years to finally release these reworks for the debut album by philogresz. taped wall of sound kinda drift from the cyclist aka buz ludzha complemented by zk bucket s straight on moody jam gives the ep a strained contrast. not to mention peak time euphoric philogresz remake of his own asakusa that is dedicated to the japanese eels in that neighborhood. gazing cutsz!

after a few months of silence following head honcho marco shuttles sing like a bird (reprise) ep, eerie records is back on duty with a strong and utterly refreshing techno release by talented artist serena butler, an obscure producer digged out of the submerged underworld as it already happened previously on shuttles imprint that got us used to releases by relatively unknown and underrated artists. arpeggiated synth lines layered on booming reverbed kick drums mixed with percussive elements of distorsion and lush pads make for a very playable release that is at the same time dreamy and deep, despite being also very organically open sounding, musical, and in many ways counter-trend and different to the dominating dark droning techno style that is so popular these days.

doktu rhute muuzic (formerly roy hytower) has enjoyed a full career from his late teens to this present day, a career that spans over 50 years. his first experiences were singing around mobile, alabama. in 1962 he came to chicago, replacing mighty joe young as rhythm guitarist for otis rush. often adopting a soul-slanted sound, hytower cut a handful of 45rpm singles in the 1960s and 70s for several local labels such as avin, expo, brainstorm, and jiffy. in june 2016 his tune “song of deliverance” was featured on tramp’s “peace chant- compilation. in recent years roy hytower has self-released a couple of cds, however under his new moniker, doktu rhute muuzic. “i’m in your corner” and “tip jar” were released on two different cd albums. this is the only chance to get these two wonderful tunes on vinyl. don’t miss it!

stutter & twitch records proudly presents the first in an exclusive series of 7” record releases, debuting two previously unreleased tracks on vinyl, from latino funk crusaders, bugalu foundation. these two spellbinding sides combine the irresistible fusion of reggae, funk and soul with the beats of el barrio and the hispanic traditions of latin america.

the next alien jams 12” is from rkss, entitled cutoff ep. these four tracks were recorded in 2014 within a period of two weeks, using a juno-60 and vermona retroverb lancet. perhaps their most dance-able release to date, cutoff interweaves aquarian dream-like electronics throughout soggy percussion and glistening chimes. propelling the listener forward, rkss churns through water-logged signals, while synths cut through in gusts of euphoria.

one more time we choose two little known gems for re-release on 45 rpm single. another single by the same group is pretty in demand by funk 45 collectors. these two sides are not that much known but they certainly deserve the same attention. while funky you is pretty good, uptempo funk, the b-side is the real beauty of this record. love come down is a fine example of chicago soul which has not been re-released yet. hopefully many people appreciate the work behind this release, from both the original musicians as well as those who are responsible for this high quality re-issue.

newborn munich based label slam city jams comes around the corner with its first release from young gun gonima straight outta montreal, canada. his grids ep? an exciting mixture of swinging distorted drums, catchy melodies and hazy atmospheres. you can definitely spot gonima s passion for dx7 adventures, analog drums and tape hiss right here. opener -grids- starts off with lush synth blips, 707 drums and a bassline bootsy collins would give high-fives for. -subdivided- is one of these tracks that shows you that it doesn’t need more than a few elements to get you going: a rough kick drum, cowbells and a smooth pad that gets slapped by just one bass note. the last original on b2 is the ambient-like -organ tutorials-, which shifts your mind directly to outer space. and as if all this wasn t enough, someone really special did a great remix job – khotin from 1080p fame, who gave the a2 cut a treat with his unique trademark sound. four house and ambient tracks both for the floor and the couch. or as gonima puts it: -an ep that has the sound of visiting home in the winter and rediscovering environments frequented in the past, birthing previously obscured memories. the sounds within are a ritual dance to stay warm through the procession of the seasons-

frankfurt based baile musik returns with cutting edge minimal techno grooves fused with hypnotic sounds and latin influence. basti grub? &?mike trend ?together with serbian veteran producer petar cvetkovic ?rounded up an impressive posse of producers who know how take their cues from these remarkable productions.

despite the renewed interest in music from kenyas past, finding these tracks and their rights holders hasnt become any easier. only a handful of music archives around the world harbour collections of kenyan music, and just a few private collectors in kenya and abroad have been sharing catalogue info online or privately. one of the problems with east african music of this era is that much of it was originally released only on 45 rpm, seven-inch vinyl singles, many of which were only ever produced in tiny runs of a few hundred. 45s with their thin, paper sleeves do not age as well as lps and are often far more susceptible to the elements

nice price deal !!! piemont starts the new year with another amazing release on their own label plumbum! >excuse me ep< is a great two tracker without any remixes as these tracks are special and strong enough to stand on their own. on the a side you find >excuse me< which gets you to a unknown place in a typical piemont style. a style, which can also be safely named experimental. playful drumming combined with trippy vocals refines the whole musical journey. on the b side >foot massage< gets your feet moving from the very beginning no matter whether you are on the streets of new york with headphones or in the club. definitely somewhere where hip hop feels at home. somehow the beat and the vocals remind of >music< by the mighty run dmc... you can only love the old school vocals and the spacy break – thank you, guys! another genious release!

jake one’s discography reads like a who’s who list of some of the greatest and most successful artists in the history of hip hop. that’s what makes him truly unique. blurring the lines between the underground and overground. providing sonic backdrops for such incredible emcees as de la soul, scarface, freeway, mf doom, evidence, casual, elzhi, brother ali, and rakim among others, but polishing that same formula and providing records for the likes of drake, rick ross, t.i., 50 cent, snoop dogg, j cole, wale, dom kennedy, and royce 5’9”, jake one is one of the exceptions that has worked equally with both of these sides of the industry. exceptionally. “prayer hands”, a collection of instrumentals created from gospel sources, includes some of those recordings amongst others that all remind you that jake one has pretty much become the go-to producer for any major artist that wants some real hip hop shit on their album. and understandably so.

first vinyl re-issue on cyclo records since 1999 take your time ep confirms gemini s status as one one of chicago’s most remarkable and prolific house producer of the 90s. gemini’s music wavers between minimal techno and old school chicago house but always with a deep feel to it. retro funk-tech grooves (karma, return of the jack) or obsessive, beats and bass driven vocals (take your time, where u belong), you have the essence of gemini s work in these 4 gems.

many of us wondered what happened to legendary chicago artist, producer and dj spencer kincy aka gemini since the early 2000s. a cursed journey into insanity or a deliberate choice to turn the page of music for another life ? speculations have been abound...where did he go ? with these 3 previously unreleased tracks one should think spencer is back on the scene...but not quite. just lost tapes found in the attic, some unlikely email communications and you ve got the lost ep, his final testament under the gemini moniker. what you have here is another brilliant example of spencer s musicality, raw or metallic sounds melted into live and program drums delivering unique dancefloor energy (4321, jungle life) or deeper, and simpler structures with chicago vibes from another age (monday to wednesday). defiantly fresh !
