this is for those with hard heads, black lungs, and scarred hearts. it is for the dreamers who construct darts on loose-leaf and those revolting against corporate life and casual fridays. it is castles return of the gasface, released on mello music group, remixed by has-lo with a new track and revamped verses. the new record tilts at a different angle, but the beats still bludgeon without sacrificing soul. the raps are rugged yet introspective. the north carolina natives voice is grizzled and shot through with the fatigue that comes from late nights, cigarettes and coffee. has-los beats coax a deeper melancholy out of castles hymns.

following their ongoing relationship with soma records, ukrainian duo woo york are set to release their new record that proves to be somewhat representative of recent dramatic events in their country. entitled i am against, both the main track and the ep itself are referring to the developments that lead to revolutionary struggle of the ukrainian people. fighting inequality, saying what you have to say and doing what you have to do seem to be the core ideas of the record. you might have figured that out yourself by spotting a rebel protester from january’s clash with riot police depicted on the record sleeve. the ep also features a special remix from uk techno producer, Ø phase. music-wise the ep presents the same idea: the epic energy of the title track highlights the drive that was fuelling peaceful individuals to go out onto the streets and fight for their rights. an excellent remix from Ø phase follows a similar path, although in its own original way that has made the uk-based artist’s name associated with the finest techno to date. closing the ep ‘in the end’ is a more abstract side of woo york’s music works that reminds us once again: every single act of violence is bound to come to an end at some point.

the heavy thinker ep finds the legend that is dj skull back on sect to regale our ears and limbs with further precious techno and house gems! *bazzar* hits the spot with beautifully harmonious synths and a techno funk guitar lick that will keep you dancing forever. *heavy thinker* is a delirious peak time dance floor killer, working organic drum programming against techno siren and ominous kalimba hook. *power* is all about the old school detroit strings and tones, setting a steady pace to keep the momentum going into the small hours. finally, *rise* has those unmistakable chicago house values emerging once more, as keys and strings lift the spirits to elevate mind and body.

nice price deal !!! retro-ist techno sounds ringing with dub! the label says: lot.te is mehmet irdel, a turkish-born artist who has been a friend of the bunker for a long time. hes currently based in brooklyn, where he co-runs rote productions, a company that releases music, graphic works, video compositions, and photography, and takes a strong stance against the concept of intellectual property. irdels early work consisted of soundscapes, noise, and power electronics

after the warm and beautiful indie leaning ep from dead heat, life and death steps back up to the plate with two fresh dancefloor killers found in mind againsts new avalon ep.

polymath james leyland kirby must surely have one of the most confounding cvs in the business: he spent years taking the piss out of the music industry with anthems rallying against the (vv)mcps, he notoriously fell out with various well known record labels for reasons you ll just have to google, goaded aphex twin with a series of tributes and channelled his love of everything from falco (rock me amadeus), chris de burgh, frankie goes to hollywood and stockport karaoke nights into a stream of increasingly bizzare 7 s back in the early noughties. but at the same time he was responsible for releasing some of the very earliest material from boards of canada (hell interface: 1997), made a ruck of frankly groundbreaking industrial electronic records, brought new beat to the worlds attention and, in 1999, made his first album as the caretaker, a project that would go on to release some of the most loved ambient/ lynchian albums of recent times.

the 909, the drum machine that has shaped the dance floor in the last few couple of decades, is still leading the underground sound. in this e.p. tino venditti, dj producer based in rome, goes through the sound 90 thus exploiting the wake of 909, adding a pinch of electronics

2011 solo album from the rage against the machine guitarist.

a legend of techno music on tigersushi. we are really proud!
an electro hacktivist since the 90s, french techno pionneer, inventor of what became electro clash with miss kittin, true italo disco lover, legitimate son of dopplereffekt and kraftwerk and godfather of the new french sensation gesaffelstein with whom he runs the label zone. when michel amato (his real name) contacted us with a few tracks we felt so honored. he really got back to his roots here with deep italo and electro, warm analog synths against cold robotic drum machines, great melodies. it would have been a hit on the now defunct cbs radio.

tom morello is an original member of the rock bands rage against the machine and audioslave, two artists responsible for multiple grammy awards and a combined 30 million albums sold worldwide.

cassio ware digging back into the past for this new cut on on dope wax. as usual, kenny dope is the man in the mix, with the classic vocal from chip-es >like this< pitted against the bassline from esgs classic, >moody<, and some quality synth lines on an old school gem of a track for the house crowds to drool over. on the flip, that superb bassline is left to be star attraction along side those great synths on a bumping house instrumental.

produced by close friend black coffee, the original mix provides a suitably deep and meaningful platform for bantwinis heartfelt lyrics about phony relationships and, in turn, his soulfully immaculate delivery. lush afro-edged rhythms lead into smart bursts of trumpet, cool double bass-lines and stirring rhodes solos - a rich musical weave more than amplifying bantwinis performance.
a wealth of stylish remixes skilfully widens wasting my times dancefloor appeal. gallic house sophisticate rocco ups the tempo, cracking whip-smart beats against thumping kick drums and infectious metallic key stabs, as does paris kingpin dan ghenacia, thanks to a fiesty vocal remix and dub fusing gothic mood and jack-happy sass in fine style. ghenacias versions have already, in fact, become a thunderous week-in-week-out staple of his ibizan circo loco residency at dc10 this summer. elsewhere, real tone main man franck roger offers a neat, dubby riff on black coffees original production, injecting sweet balafon melodies and additional percussive pep.

the new record features all new material from the hyperdub founder and his mc collaborator, and will follow up their 2006 album >memories of the future<. in the years since that release, kode9s sound has evolved considerably, mostly shedding the framework of dubstep for ever new mutations of uk bass music, as heard on his dj kicks or the >you dont wash< ep from last year. in addition to the spaceapes post-apocalyptic rhymes, which have also haunted records by martyn and echologist, the album features chinese mc and producer cha cha. on the final track, kode9 is joined in the studio by brainfeeder beatsmith flying lotus.

lnas third release comes from the godfather of the underground all the way from brookyln, new york: namely the legendary jovonn. first tune >a definition of a track< makes use of driving beats combined with ethereal and jazz-like melodies that work together to create a hypnotic atmosphere. second track >space atmosphere< has a more infectious styling, with an ever-progressive melody against a firm groove that grabs the listener and the dance floor. also featuring remixes from the much revered two armadillos, giles smith of secretsundaze and martin dawson (king roc) have turned out a modern classic to nail any peak time dance floor. the second remix comes from the newly formed mankind project. expect more from them this year with two other eps in the pipeline. this ep is something rather special!

brill deep house with detroit and atmo - tribal feeling

limited backstock of this kanzleramt classic from 2000.

entropic minus six contains four tracks selected from peter van hoesens forthcoming album. the mission of these four tunes is clearly aimed at the dancefloor. terminal kicks off this ep with an acidic, addictive bassline, supported by a solid kick drum traveling up and down the scales. strip it, boost it throws swinging metallic percussion at the listener, using only a few elements to maximum effect. on the flip side quartz 1 presents the story of a runaway slap bass riff, twisting and turning into a mad machinefunk frenzy. defense against the self opts for a more atmospheric approach, while maintaining the focus on the peters essential bass heavy sound. essential heavy bass, stripped down, machine influenced techno!

sound expression against world pressure by michelangelo, exium, elektrabel and stanislav tolkachev.

stroboscopic artefacts is proud to welcome on board singapore-based xhin (meerestief). with his production wizardry he has been crafting ominous cuts of cutting-edge techno.>fixing the error< is an enormous peak-time club killer. xhin knits together the sinister sound of the revolt of the machines. high frequency drum machines and ferrous sub-bass synthesizers are working urgently against the clock. close your eyes, dissolve, step into dystopia. you are transported into a post-human cityscape where strobes reflect off smelting metallic sounds and deafening alarms wail. these warning codes, layer upon layer, fashion a vision of a metropolis gorging itself on sprawling noises. the flip side, >link< has no narrative. instead, this deep, brooding slice of dub-techno is composed of pure atmospheric pressure. the undercarrige slithers and slinks, interrupted by crackles of lightening and prehistoric rumbles. the result is a construction created in a cold palate of pyrite grey: bubbling, spherical and terrifying. this is dark. this is urgent. this is xhin.

the model is no stranger to gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to the model. as a supporter of gigolo records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous gigolo adventure. but in the words of the late george harrison, >all things must pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
the model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: dark-techno-baroque. the sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. it also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the a-side >in the night<. in many ways this could be seen as a return to form for gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. to further consolidate the techno aesthetic look no further then >flex on the b-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by daft punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of djs today.
the >vampire funk ep< is the first release from the models forthcoming album on gigolo. the concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of the model. exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. like classic transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. the result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. as pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. as the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as i type and you read. so we are already part way there. the rest will unfold in the coming months.

solid 4-tracker of high quality underground techno - made by solid decay!

feedback:
leandro gamez (spain): i just like putoxic from the release, but i must say is a cool hypnotic track.
ray kajioka (kanzleramt, berlin):it s not my way... but... just like the lake acid
al redmond (the phonic express, ireland):this is a proper underground ep. putoxic was played by me on friday night at a warehouse party in ireland. i literally had about 25 people come up and ask me what was the name of this record. i will be playing it on my radio show next week too.
andre kronert / neurotron (night drive music, ostwind, session deluxe, 616 detroit):i love a1. its sooo deep and grooving and has this nice oldschool feel. great one. support support support!

limited vinyl edition of the black dog s new album on soma quality recordings. each of the 500 copies is hand numbered and screen printed by the artists. 3 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. the black dog are without a doubt one of the hardest working acts in electronic music. no sooner have they released one of 2008s best albums in >radio scarecrow< and the massive 12 inch >detroit vs. sheffield< which featured two remixes from detroit minimal grandmaster robert hood, they now prepare for their next album release. >further vexations< is a real successor to >radio scarecrow<. the thinking behind the predecessor is still very evident with even more bite, but theres something about the new album that lends itself to the dark club atmosphere. perhaps the recent bout of constant gigging has had its effect on the act because this one is going to be tearing up floors around the world on its release. >further vexations< might have taken half the time to create but still manages to maintain the same degree of meticulous detail and attention as its predecessor, and is a complete package of tracks demanding to be listened to from start to finish. >further vexations< looks to rouse the sort of political attitudes that have been sorely missing from electronic music since raves backlash against the criminal justice act in the 90s.

two more cuts on our summery piano riddim featuring the vocal talents of roll deep mc riko and our very own rubi dan. warrior queens voicing, things change, was released by soul jazz records and also featured on our compilation an england story. riko - a reformed character after spending time in jail earlier this decade - addresses himself to wayward youths with a warning about the badman lifestyle, while rubi dan rails against violence and corruption in london and the uk.

with me or against me is a brash and brazen chunk of swaggering electro, a whopping club shaker propelling an insanely hooky chant along vocal from tc. this will lodge itself in your brain until you wake up singing it!

special random one-sided release! will make the hearts of collectors go boooom! a fairytale is looming on the horizon of the unknown. one must not tame a fairytale. fairytale lies in absence. eremits rebel against the power of the kings and for their romantic nature, secrecy should be the rule. they complain about our reasoning of the land - that we bought socrates for logical dissilusion. but where have all the flowers gone? why matemathics instead of metamathics? pursuing what all philosophy has tried, that is, to avoid metaphysics, and because i feel that tonights peasantry without pleasantry is somehow nervous, wanting for something to make sense - you outrageous calculists - i am going to tell you the secret that underlines what you have heard until now. because all i want to do is hug you close, and all that you want to do is to be hugged - consider it as a gift
