ourtime music return after a 13 year hiatus !
d ball s debut ep was an under-the-radar techno classic which appeared in a handful of stores back in 2002, it has since been fetching crazy money second hand & been the subject of much speculation about who s behind it. after some all ears sleuthing we managed to locate the label hq and were delighted to hear they had a new ep ready and pressed ! even better (dare we say) than the first release !
3 tracks of perfectly executed, pure analogue machine soul, in the motor city tradition & very limited buy now or cry later

daniel stefanik is back on the track and it seems even stronger than ever before! after his cocoon album release confidence and the associated remixes (by mr. g, adam port, legowelt and matthias kaden) stefanik presents a true tech-house-monster as a dignified return to the label. with twilight zone stefanik moves away from his detroit influenced background but stays true to his oldskool flavoured vibe.

this release is a collection of big names of the electronic music history, some of them are legends: pete tong & john monkman lead the list of big artists in this ep, they had produced the bumps a few months ago and now we can see the remixes of that track.
for the remix duties, suara is proud to have on board one of the biggest names of electronic music movement with more than 20 million albums sold, 8 songs in the uk singles chart, masterpieces like play or 18. the name of the remixer is moby, whom did a delicate and sophisticated deep house track for his debut on suara.
coyu is in the package too with a dancefloor, melodic, powerful interpretation of the original and julien jeweil did a really cool revision of the track in a techno way.

same procedure, different music! again the imprint’s limited serie steps up with a one-sided vinyl. limitation to 50 transparent vinyls only! this time the music is contributed by no other than snuffo, one half of the infamous snuff crew. well known through releases on labels like bpitch control, rush hour or their very own imprint snuff trax the boys are no stranger to the scene. „one of those nights“ is a good example for snuffo’s versatile musical approach as he delivers a pretty technoid piece of music. the track is all about the hypnotic vocal-sample that makes you wanna go mad. paired with a heavy-ass baseline this track is exactly what you need to have one of those nights.

jack cutter is a songwriter and guitarist based in the san francisco bay area in california. he started with a $5 banjo just after finishing high school. in university, during the late 60’s, he performed with bar bands in buffalo, new york. after completing university and a year as an aerospace engineer, he decided that attack helicopters were not really what the world needed and so he headed off to california in pursuit of music and mystic times. fast forward to fall 2014: jack is playing his quintessential tune, ‘gift of our fathers’ in the sf bart subway to an onslaught of morning commuters when he was spotted by 40 thieves. eureka! love at first sight and in the next few months, two of jack’s original acoustic pieces were given the 40 thieves treatment. enter david sanderson aka david harks, a singer, songwriter, producer and label curator from the east sussex region of the uk. ‘having fallen in love with the cosmic boogie (of 40 thieves classic ‘backward love’) i really felt i would love nothing more than to write a tune with them. layne got back in touch with a track he was working on entitled serpent strut with jack cutter and we worked via email over a few months to brew up that misty soul.’ deep, stony, psychedelic, drawing from the well of hawkwind, joni mitchell, david crosby, baffo banfi and tolkien-tinged acoustic led zep, the proof of concept is now complete and in the capable and loving hands of claremont 56.

music for dreams are extremely proud to announce the first-ever vinyl release of *cantoma*, the debut album from legendary café del mar dj and collector extraordinaire, phil mison aka cantoma. left, right and center, phil has been one of the key players in the chill out/balearic scene and today is more in- demand than ever playing festivals and clubs all over europe - recent gigs include playing dj harveys birthday bash at pikes in ibiza and alongside nyc icon justin strauss. his first album, the self-titled cantoma, was originally released back in 2003 and quickly become a modern chill out classic selling over 15.000 copies with tracks featured on more than 150 compilations and supported by quality djs such as ross allen, idjut boys, moonboots, harvey and many many more. triple vinyl release limited edition to 300 copies.

vent adds yet again new sonic influences to its palette, this time owing thanks to its main curator tolga baklacioglu. with this release, we are pleased to add more than just a sprinkle of industrial and ebm influences to the catalogue of records we are proud to say is the sound of vent. to make things even better, one of more interesting techno producers as of late, and also sweden’s favourite son - daniel andréasson - wanted to lend us a hand to really bring the point home with this record. laden heavy with distortion, this release goes further than one can call the lofi sound - instead the thought is taken to its logical conclusion: distortion is as much an element in its own right as time, space and velocity.

when people think of tuff gong they usually think of bob marley and rightly so, as he was nicknamed and often called tuff gong and from this his early releases which came out on the tough gong label. but tuff gong was also the name of a recording complex named after bob marley hat included a top level recording studio, pressing plant and distribution centre that would allow reggae music to carry on many years after his sad and too early demise. we focus for this release on the work carried out by the great scientist on the songs of the black solidarity label run by ossie thomas (aka joe the boss) recorded at tough gong studios. one of the foremost recording, pressing and distribution facilities on the jamaican island set up from the work of bob marley to carry forward reggae music. hope you enjoy this set.

after making a great impression with its first ep, giant records serves up a second hot helping of house music from boss man grant dell, complete with fresh remixes by scottish techno stalwarts silicone soul. dell, also known as chicago transit authority, has been doing his do for 25 years now. as a dj he is at home in clubs in ibiza and barcelona as well as around the rest of europe, and is someone who always prefers to push his own brand of widely infused and influenced music than his own profile. once again here he comes up trumps with the emotive, glowing house cut ‘in your mind’. with a neat bassline and mid tempo house drums, subtle but effective synth smears add warmth and colour to the groove, whilst soul fuelled vocals add a real sense of personality. this is sure to get people grooving at any hour and comes with grant’s own space echo remix. as the title suggests it’s a more dubby and reverb rich affair with cosmic signifiers and sci-fi vibes pervading from start to finish. silicone soul need little introduction having been at the heart of real deep house and techno for decades on the soma label. their first remix is a darkroom dub - named after their own label - and is a seductively slo-mo and lazily unfolding house cut with languid synths that really suck you in. their lush hypnohouse mix is then a twinkling, late night bit of melodically rich deep house with starry skies twinkling above sombre chords. this is a patiently served but hugely alluring ep that is stuffed with plenty of tender feeling. one again then, both grant and giant have come up with the goods.

brazilian disco boogie sounds, is a compilation that brings together nine of the most important and obscure hits of the brazilian funk-boogie-disco scene during the years of 1978 to 1982. jùnior santos is a carioca drummer since his 15 years old, and is today a respected vinyl collector and music researcher. more than anything, he is carried on by the love of brazilian music, which has never been forgotten.

rothmans are back with their first real milestone as a label and what better way to celebrate the labels 10th record than honouring the greatest no10 of all time

theyre young and tough, and especially wonderful too, easily one of the most compelling harmony soul groups to ever hail from the windy city! the sets a chicago soul gem from the early 70s, recorded with a laidback, slightly tripped-out vibe thats different than the tighter styles of other groups from the same scene, definitely righteous at points, with some of the superbad modes you might hear from an east coast lineup like the delfonics or soul generation, especially when they were trying to get a bit more conscious in their message. arrangements are great – handled by tom tom washington, eugene record, and cliff davis, very much at the best brunswick mode, but again with a deeper sort of vibe too. the title cuts a monster, and a very fitting follow-up to their earlier sly, slick, & wicked track – and the album features 2 versions (vocal and instrumental) of a cut called this is the lost generation, a very righteous soul groove with a heavy production tip.

latest addition to the tardis records family is non other than quintessential swedish techno veteran jesper dahlbäck: the man who has arguably had his fi nest club moments under his the persuader moniker. an ode to the fl oral beauty of his nordic homeland, the three cuts of the vaborblommor ep tread his much beloved, hypnotic path between techno and house. its the subtle quirkiness and authentic grit that makes these productions stand out from the vast uniformity of dubby club tracks. repress without fullcover

2015 repress. its been four years since my last own ep on stockholm ltd. the main reason for this is that i have been surrounded by music that has inspired me much more than my own. this ep was written and produced with strict narrow frames and a huge amount of frustration. i was tired of waiting for the inspiration to kick in, then suddenly it appeared with a strength that i havent felt for long time. im now curious for more. while sketching the title track, >wyatt arp<, i couldnt get detroit legend, terrence dixon, out of my mind. terrence is a long time hero of mine, and an artist that always stays on the true side of what we do while most of us occasionally leave our paths. i had to ask him to do a rework. / par grindvik

the maghreban has been making some noise with his latest release on versatile wonder woman. rather than continuing along that disco-ish path, he changes tack as he returns to zoot with 3 tunes influenced by (but not identical to) different times from his teens. now easy is informed by those c. 93 dark jungle 12s he knew and loved. the dark stranger. don bad man. presha iii. the capsule ep. the video is a tribute to those and other records. not good is an innocent mess about wit...
the vinyl ep has a full colour reverse board picture sleeve. dj support from call super, radio play from b traits, benji b and moxie on bbc radio 1 and ben ufo on rinse fm.

takaaki has probably never been in better shape than now. his last dj gigs and releases (1962) prove it all. it is time for a new wols release (#6), 2 new originals + remixes by oscar mulero and mike parker. have a listen. an epic ep, as always.

the eight single release on marco shuttles eeries delivers michal wolskis unthinkable otherwiseness ep which contains three deep, abstract, misterious compositions where wolski is seeking for the balance between subtle and more raw energy. each track is a meditative, drone-like trip into an area where there are more questions than answers. classic 808 drum set meets futuristic hazy drones, pads and deep bass lines. dance or/and contemplate!

h-productions proudly presents >funkhaos< by cari lekebusch. this follow-up release moves on right where the previous vinyl-only release >return to base< (hyb027) ended. both tracks are maintaining the same stripped down, solid sound pictures and simple arrangements - with no unnecessary elements, breaks or changes. if it needs more than 2 hands - then cari prefers not to do it. the retro sounding audio-pictures of >funkhaos 1 & 2< are intentionally created with the various h-productions releases in mind, that came out around 1993-1997. cari has since the beginning of the 1990s been releasing a steady stream of music on all types of formats, and to mark a reset - he is morphing the grid once again and is continuing the hyb vinyl catalog that shifted into the hp and hpx catalogs around 1997. take good care and see you out there! - with warm regards from stockholm

hedonism is an ethical theory that pleasure, in a sense of satisfaction of desires, is the highest good and proper aim of human life, and this seems to also be hdnsm’s ultimate musical objective. their first release debuted as a kickstarter of “variant ep” v.a. series, showcasing three very different yet highly contemplative creations from cumsecade, anestie gomez and man spider. hdnsm flips the coin and for the second episode of “variant” series it lands on two very solid, incredibly moody and extensive works from fresh talents shcaa and cleymoore. the ep features two very different tracks yet they share the same minimalistic core. both works are blessed with intricate micro-drum arrangements for those feeling groove hungry whilst still standing tall in the experimental abstract realm pleasing those who crave unusual frequencies. a-side’s “masquée” is one of shcaa’s typical rides between sound and silence and it is hard to find another artist who understands sound gaps between grooves better than shcaa does. with his signature vocals and an incredibly delicious duality between acoustic instrumentalism and electronic slamming, this is a groovy, highly deep, very intelligently arranged piece. the flip-side “nebula”, signed by pluie/noir’s boss cleymoore, is a tip of an iceberg when it comes to the art of stripping down. in an apparently thin canvas of minimal drum arrangements there’s a vast amount of sound frequencies underneath a steady ever-kicking groove, tricking your mind into thinking that you’re hearing less than you actually perceive. nebula is hypnotic and dense but focused and sophisticatedly groovy. like the repetitive vocals you’ll hear throughout the b-side, this v.a. sticks to your mind like an addiction of some sort and pushes hdnsm to a new standard of avant-garde and forward-thinking attitude. as before, this vinyl only release comes in a gorgeous cover featuring a painting from max binski and the number of copies available is limited

for more than a thousand days and nights, nico stojan tapped away at what is now before us as ‘twisted manners’ - his debut album telling stories in sound that are both electronic in nature and human in touch. each organic sounding track on the release, including their neighbouring interludes, graze on the moments, people and cultures which have encompassed the albums journey and brought it forward to what it is today. these inspirations have merged from moody mornings in foreign lands (‘blue hour’) to his love affair with the elements of jazz (‘tortured paper’), to the breezy ways of the pacific island people he connects with so much (‘maori girl’). these diverse cultures and the passing musicians who have importantly contributed to the essence of the album have built strong yet invisible strings with a myriad of voices and instruments which weave throughout the music giving us a piece of work that is both textured in flavour and rich in motive. twisted manners is a clean example of this - house music whose soft open spaces and gentle beats sway easily through analog sounds coming from string quartets, saxophonists and double bass players to name a few. these collaborations and stojan’s guiding ear will walk you right into the dreamy spaces and faraway places of his travels without you breaking a sweat. seasoned with moments stolen under the fading light of day, long trips into the beautiful nothingness of his eclectic surroundings and respect for electronic music that is both timeless and sincere, ursl records is delighted to present stojan s debut album, ‘twisted manners’.

first ep of hamburg-based psychedelic voodoohop dada-pop superduo for doumen records. on+brr are known for releases on felix kubins gagarin records, martin hossbach label, hafenschlamm/freiheit&roosen as well as for their more than intense live performances in places like berghain, nation of gondwana, fusion, golden pudel etc. and last but not least for their kraniche b.d. elbbrücken club, which is fueling the scene in hamburg with their very own take on how a performance space should be like for more than two years now already and it might well be the most crazy & cozy place you will find in hamburg right now. to round everything off nicely, artwork was done by cheap art pioneer and close on+brr friend patrick farzar. a must have to show off at your next afterhour gig as well as to impress your artist friends when having them over for tea

from a basement studio in hackney, east london comes payfone s 2nd release on golf channel - quarantine b/w padre, pray for us. following on from 2014 s extremely well received paradise heater, payfone continue down a similar path for the a side quarantine. featuring once again 24 year old vocal powerhouse louis howard jones, quarantine is a semi auto biographical take on the hardships of a an underprivileged youth, set against a tough phil passera production that sounds more new york city 1984 than new port county 2004 (jones was born and raised in cardiff). cruising at 120 bpm, the dark funk guitar intro gives way to some heavy slap bass and deep synth that touches michael jackson s thriller before the direct and brutal vocals of jones hit you right between the eyes. padre, pray for us is a bizarre afro-cuban inspired homage to passera s italian father sergio ( who s telephone call can be heard on the songs intro). featuring the lethal trumpet of former cuban military private eikel venegas hernandez, this instrumental takes you to the pinata party via downtown lagos. golf channel every time !

göttingen//germany based sublabel of shaker plates rüttelplatten comes out with a new producer team called starskie & hagi they met. they understood. and than it was soon clear that they should work together. only the distance between dusseldorf and munich was a small problem. but the internet helped. here are the results: bogats choint with a gunman remix and feel this with a m.in remix

a collection of dance tracks inspired by some well-known / lesser known songs from various music eras of the past ranging from american soul to uk jazz-funk and early rave scene. guess what, these are not re-edits. these are more than just reworks. the tracks can be considered stand-alone new versions or remixes that were never out. just put the needle on the record and try to guess.

killer release on uncanny valley related shtum label. their latest offering is none other than avalon emerson, who hits hard with her first appearance on the dresden-based label with a record full of techno beauties.

amir alexander was one of plan b recordings’ first recruits. from his first submission, we knew his sound was perfect for plan b recordings. “sonic subversion” was released as a digital ep in 2010 and now receives a proper vinyl release. we feel these tracks sound even better now. their content is as timeless as ever. they have been slightly tweaked and re-touched by amir for this release, making them perhaps even more sonically powerful than the originals. three tracks of bubbly, banging goodness from one of our earliest comrades.

who better to inaugurate your label than andreas gehm? simple, no-one. glasgow’s schrodinger’s cat is sinking claws and teeth into vinyl with five tracks of blistering tb303 goodness from the cologne man. mr gehm is in fine form as he serves up a quintet of very different cuts. from the warbling wonderment of -blind eyes- to squawking darkness of -jak the floor-, this ep shows how talented this machine musician is. -can you hear me girl- is jilted lover, stalker house, beady eyes peering into misted windows material. the elec pt 1 hood is donned for the dirtiest track of the 12inch. grimy claps are further polluted by bending acid lines in a work overflowing with violence. out of the leftfield comes the finale. -systems go- throbs with rumbling rhythms, a bleeped melody keeping time as drum machines overheat and circuitry melts. mean as ever from andreas gehm. expect tears.

techno exists in a distorted field. what is wrong elsewhere is right here. what shouldnt work works. awake at night and asleep by day. rough is beautiful, slick is rotten. with macro, things are always a bit more wrong than usual. and thats how they also end up being a bit more beautiful than usual. stefan goldmanns fossil water: fender bass tones weave a pad, from the thumping bottom up to the silky top, congregating into intense moments of dance floor bliss. the b-side throws us in at the deep end, with the tense yet laid back workout of nephelin, tipping over into the sheer techno claustrophobia of de-gauss. dark and warm like a stockholm syndrome: feeling cozy while the horror comes upon you.

this is the first of a 2 volumes series by crackboy dedicated to raw ghetto house and techno rooted in chicago (think armando rather than larry heard) on the thing and detroit on the dirt (think carl craigs project 69). both tracks come with useful dub tools for the real djs out there. pure analog power by a true master.

its that time again at ccb headquarter for reaping the harvest of another good year for the label. the paris club music, volume 3 is here and the journey is better than ever. once again the full crew worked hard to deliver this time a more contemplative yet still percussive set of tracks exploring the dance music of tomorrow. first in the field bambounou and french fries teams up for mizu ni idou suru an intimate slow mo thing playing with intricate rhythm textures and dusty key stabs fading away in the back.

louis haiman returns to abstract forms with some seriously deep underwater vibes....and who better to co-pilot than heinrich mueller himself. essential.

magic waves brings us the first full-length ep from the enigmatic and secretive jax dax. ‘retribution’ is a dark record that breathes a breath of fresh (rotten) air into techno, re-connecting it with its new beat and rave roots, and presenting the kind of hammers that would surely make the likes of joey beltram or mental overdrive proud while bringing any dancefloor or illegally-occupied warehouse to its knees. watch out for this record, it’s limited and hotter than hell!

vanguard sound! returns with its first full ep by a vanguard crew member other than chris or amir. g. marcells model music ep is a special tribute to the legendary chicago artist named paul johnson who has been both a friend and mentor to g. for quite some time.

uk funk connoisseur duke slammer takes the driving seat on the 303-fueled ‘bangkok skytrain’, with remixes from moscow based simple symmetry and returning artist tony g. inspired by tropical heat, bangkok skytrain utilises 303s, analogue drum machines and mixes in field recordings taken from an excursion to thailand. the result is a heady concoction of warm basslines and humid atmospheres, with a groove reminiscent of early 90’s melodic techno and a cheeky drum track that wouldn’t be out of place on a larry heard record. simple symmetry, the lipski brothers from moscow, slowly rebuild layers of the track like a locomotive building up momentum, and in typical style simple symmetry style finding the perfect vocal sample and pan pipes that help propels you into the foreign lands. before you know it the track is pumping at full chug! tony g’s take goes a bit further afield than the original. a dub rhythm sets the picture in outer-space. hihats stutters like cosmic dust rickashading off the nosecone of the space ship while longing strings take us deep into a distant nebular before the 303 bring the thousands of new galaxies into view. definitely music to listen to in the dark! look out for the secret dancefloor weapon ‘just drums’, an industrial drum machine workout for the freaks!

pdd are proud to welcome the legendary basement boys label to their mighty label roster! responsible for genre defining releases for over 2 decades, and with a discography as deep & rich as most labels can only dream of, the the first release hitting back on wax is from none other than the one and only jasper street co. after their stellar southport weekender and camelot performances with the basement boys in the uk, it was inevitable that j.s.c. would soon be back in the studio recording once more.

colorhadoo makes his amphia debut with two enticing tracks while cristi cons delivers the house s remix. on the a side we are presented with * j strawbberry*, an atmospheric track which slowly slips away into a mind-bending realm, where broken voices come and go under different shapes and the listener is engaged by occasional eclectic explosions. a beautiful work and trouble waiting to happen when properly used. side b has cristi cons taking the interpretation duties of the main track. the remix keeps the general mood of the original with a twist, everything is wrapped around a tight groove with shattering low end work, ideal for those early mornings. we continue with * zanzibar*. this second track on side b takes the artistic vision into reverse. no more voices to be heard, huge spaces are reduced to just a solid groove. the track is guided by hypnotic pads and sounds while the emblematic percussion section is conducted by none other than colorhadoo himself. dont listen to this in the dark!

michigan native dj soko is part of a long line of great technical djs, musical innovators, curators and those who broke key artists and introduced acts that forever changed the landscape of the music scene. sokos ear and ability to put emcees in position for them to shine over the perfect production is never more evident than it is on his debut project released on his imprint left of center. dj soko uses his years coming up in the detroit scene, his experiences djing in his current home (the planet of brooklyn, ny) then blends both of those worlds together seamlessly. the end result is a gritty, boom bap rap album that is equally as soulful and introspective as it is rooted in a blue collar lyrical hip-hop aesthetic. *domino effect* is ultimately brought together by sokos deft cuts and scratches which elevate each composition and make them resonate with listeners even further.
pressing on transparent red vinyl.
