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.

following on from a full-length album of grainy, synth-laden house on mathematics, and equally unique eps on thug and lies, simoncino makes his debut on creme organization with five suitably esoteric house offerings.

bedlam isrc – asylum limbo, psychotic sock draw and raving halfway-house ... some truths – man as samovar, staunch somnambulist, man as memory…aural yves klein seas sluiced from a flotilla of ohm-loan bugbrand & electro-harmonix vessels ... a sound accrued by loitering long at skipjack tables & tape duplicating plants ... the joyous melancholy seeping from this lps patched folk o ertones has been a reassuring cloak for me since its porous ones & twos dripped into the mm inbox. an album you can wear whose universal backstory is told deftly via these gilt-edged electronic daubs without sugar-coating – there is none of this soundtrack to a film yet to be made clotting up the ear canals…a basking shark of an album that gently filters the ill from the krill. some truths are bigger than others.

kiwanuka, a 25 year-old uk native of ugandan heritage, was raised in north london where he split his time between session work and local gigs. along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to communion records, then polydor, and has since performed throughout europe and north america too touring in direct support of adele. he made his way through nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. the a-side *you ve got nothing to lose* is an original composition, featuring the buzzards dominic davis on upright bass and cory younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer lillie mae rische on fiddle. their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous blue series. the single also features a chilling rendition of townes van zandts infamous *waitin round to die* on the b-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the a-side.

*it all started in 1974 with the purchase of my first mini moog and another 70s dream machine, a white mellotron m 400.* so starts klaus hoffmann of his 40 years love affair with the mellotron. moving from prog-rock guitarist to cosmic disco warrior in a space of a few years, the birth of cosmic hoffmann would lead to a number of classic kosmiche albums through-out the 1980s. before this though came space-disco. initially recorded in 1978 after endless late night sessions exploring the new realms of this free form electronic music, the first incarnation was recorded live to tape for a failed film project. an uplifting spaced-out synth journey, it was the later reworked version that would go on to become the lost cult classic. with added disco syncopation taking the track into interstellar spheres, it appeared only as a flipside of cosmic hoffmanns first and last single, *weltraumboogie*, in 1982. unfortunately the release did not make much impression at the time but has become highly sought-after for the more leftfield dj and music lovers in the years since. now fully licensed and remastered, the inclusion of the unreleased 1978 original will be only add to the collectors dream.

beginning with tape experimentation, noise excursions and long-form drift and drone musics, love cult have steadily built up a discography based on decomposing and deconstructing. know ep is the first vinyl statement that sees the russian duo dive headlong into beat-forms and movement music.

wanda group, aka louis johnstone, is the latest artist to release a record with notown recordings. an artist who *creates beautiful, decayed landscapes of tape crackle, hiss and distortion* (the quietus), the music of wanda group is an other-worldly collage of sounds that touch on musique concrete and other forms of oblique, densely beautiful sounds.

the balls are rolling, the caller has been summoned… eyes down ladies and gentleman for the marx trukker. a for you b for me goes flat out from the get go, trukker bringing forth dub, attenuating heavily bound techno under the sherman filter plough - sleek yet lo-fi sound design, infectious electronic folkart.

michael & mattis are based between new york and oslo. maybe thats why their music has such a unique feel. blending the oddness of norwegian labels as sex tags mania and the ongoing musical heritage of nyc in hip-hop, disco and house, they produce twisted house jams that manage to remain raw and catchy at the same time. bold grooves and smooth vibes produ- ced with tape warmth and a singular pop appeal.

the road to hell is paved in gold. one that guides to disorder, repression and eventually a last leap into od. yes, boy, this is life. unfair, menacing, dark and twisted, like the new ep from r-a-g out on lux rec. the dutch trio presents its first release outside the m>o>s legacy and delivers three excessive tracks wandering on the fringes of the jacking zone, analog techno and wavy obscurity. walk in, embrace life. hear it pulsates, disappear. gold vinyl in a gold printed sleeve. free download included.

just in time for this years festive celebrations, the imprint curated by merseyside edits maestro greg wilson returns with the tape-tapping talent of fingerman. real name gregg holmes, wilson first thought his fingerman pseudonym was inspired by a character from v for vendetta, the cult graphic novel by alan moore, but he was in fact so called after creating a weird stop motion video on a mobile phone about a shouting finger. thankfully his studio work is less peculiar: years of spinning techno in the mid-90s giving way more recently to an going love affair with funk, soul and disco nuggets.

hamsa intenational are hitting us with some obscure and analog live jams for club use only. rigid grooves that transform subtly by the use of frequency cuts and vocal chops make bodytalk an interesting lo-fi sounding yet energetic jam for peak hours and after. the analog warmth thats filling up the speaker cans comes straight out of old machines and a tape recorder.

a demo tape, sent to capitol records by the trash company in the early 90s, garnered this curt response from then president of the r&b division, joy bailey: some music was never meant to be heard. thug records returns with one of the most intriguing releases to grace the catalogue so far. not restricted by any one scene, max monroe of the trash company produces a hypnotic medley of original hard edge rhythm & blues, soul dance and classic psychedelic punk wave textures. armed with a condition known as synesthesia meaning he perceives sounds, words and letters in terms of color and a 4 track cassette recorder, the trash company has spent the last 30 years as a bedroom recording genius.

ma spaventi, a roman, now based in amsterdam, has been around for a minute, his trio r-a-g (with aroy dee and gijs poortman, a.k.a. gstring) has been recording refined, classicist house and techno on an all-analog kit since 2010. marked by tough drums, swirling pads, and a willingness to veer into pure, beatless ambient territory, their records are formally purist without scrimping on a sense of mystery. spaventis solo work so far has suggested that he may be the tough guy of the bunch.

warm and crispy as always, the third monday night - mixed, structured and recorded live on tape. the whole ep is a cutting-edge merger between old school and modern, carefully crafted sounds, to forge an outstanding collection of deep house tracks with a timeless fashion.the opening track on side a serves a gentle two-chord loop, locked with a groove beat progression, whilst track two builds up a dense swarm of rapid drums, with synthetic bursts twirling on an energetic bassline. on the b side, a bare, rampant one note bass leads a haunting, gloomy first track, whose main theme is surrounded by recurring confused, scatterbrained vocal samples, while the second one is characterized by the simplicity of an upright, stabbing rhythm directing an emotive one note chord. the ending track develops around a big, serious bassline, pleasantly contrasting with a succession of dreamy, floating melodies and noises

massively anticipated debut album from ron morelli, founder/boss of acclaimed brooklyn label l.i.e.s. (resident advisor #1 label of the year 2012, amongst many other accolades), *spit* is the first in a trio of related releases from morelli due on hospital productions in the coming months. the album features 8 electronic variants, from house and industrial tape experiments to saturated metallic beat tracks. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy. there is so much that could be said about ron morelli, his l.i.e.s. label, or the fact that his debut album comes to you via hospital productions, but instead, here are some words from the man himself: i m a regular guy, enjoy a good steak, drinking beer, and occasionally a game of pro basketball, republican talk radio ... you know ... all the good stuff.

chicago native jordan fields drops an awesome 4 track ep for those who love chicago sound. a tape called 1990 - this lost track was created 2 decades ago with heavy influence from mr fingers. the just an illusion re-work feels like the soundtrack to a break dance movie.

the house reverends are a trinity of musicians in their own right combining talents through a love of vintage electronics, analogue tape, and downtuned rnb. they glide through londons club scene bringing a blend of fluid funk driven by their robotic drum machine. this ep is a three-stage journey into the hearts and souls of our shadowy heroes. it is a story of love. drivetime the first tune is a slow motion seduction. a musical massage. it is a high-grade slow dance that works from dinner til dawn. girl, i know one for the body poppers. a tense number expressing the addictive pain of lust. vocoder voices straining with desire as the fever grows. curious lady a dream-like climax. gaze across the galaxy in awe and surrender to the state of psychedelic ecstasy this song so easily conjures.

ovatow drops 3 extremely deep journeys into the fog of endless re-verb and delay applications.flame and a thought are 2 electro-techno tracks that are both build on randomly step-sequenced square bass lines, raiser sharp snares and dubbed out melodies drowned in layers of breathing dusty tape delays. visitation dub iii is a different version of an ovatow track, earlier released as part of the viewpoints chapter one compilation, but this time stripped down to the core bass line, reminiscing bcs presence. the release is dedicated to the loss of south rotterdam based dj juvenile jay who played an important roll in the early dj career of frustrated funks head honcho klen, the man behind the ovatow moniker. very much recommended!

nycs escort, founded by eugene cho and dan balis and fronted by the enormous vocals of lead singer adeline michèle, delivers a danceable blend of disco, funk & soul that pays homage to the classics while remaining fresh and modern. mysterious dance duo tiger & woods are known for cutting pop melodies with sourced disco, boogie & funk edits. check out the *barbarians* (tiger & woods remix) space invader where it premiered with pitchfork. following a critically acclaimed self-titled debut album that was hailed as one of the best albums of 2012 by both spin and rolling stone, escort will release the 12 inch vinyl package complete with remixes by italian nu disco kings tiger & woods, jkriv of deep&disco/razor-n-tape and a dub by the mysterious rance muhammitz.

3 x 12 inch lp featuring 11 full length tracks in all their glory coming in a beautifully designed spined sleeve holding all 3 vinyls from the release.

after the excellent reception of the first instalment, ander-trax is back yet again with more supremely crafted tracks from label head and all round gentleman alex-ander. nobody really expected such talent to emanate from coatbridge, did they? then again, wasnt the fella responsible for that blueboy *remember me* thing from coatbridge? maybe that was airdrie.

introducing the house of 12 vol.2, also including some new artists on this one. a1 is with martin bell, uk, the man behind all those videos on youtube about >how to make house music with soul<. a jazzy house raw tune, proper sound for a proper dancefloor. a2 is a mysterious band from croatia, rare people house brand, all stuffed with vintage gears as well, presenting a house/disco song with a fucking good syncopatic crescendo and some hypnotic vocal. b1 is an italian guy, jacy, and his talented attitude to resume a disappeared vibe from old italian house from the early 90s, mixed with a new touch, so its not revival, its a new life about that genre!! b2 is the worst of the band, as usual, deep88, here with a raw-all-played-track that hasnt seen any sequencer, just a multitrack tape overdubbing and mpc.
