berlin based techno titan frank muller adopts his beroshima alias for a new four track ep that is already been hailed by the likes of marcel dettman and laurent garnier. first emerging in the nineties, muller has since become a techno great who has played from asia to south america and beyond. he’s had plenty of underground hits on the likes of cocoon and soma, and held some key residencies over the years. always one to command your attention with his multi layered grooves, this ep features an old juan atkins sample “buy some shit from detroit” that has been part of beroshima’s live sets for years. excellent opener ‘encounter’ reflects a recent idea jeff mills and muller had to produce tracks together for a not yet produced sci-fi movie. it is an eight-minute astral techno trip with smooth, driving drums and plenty of intergalactic synth lines. ‘the passion of lovers’ transfers the organic beroshima style into 2018 and shows off frank’s passion for spaced out electronica. it’s a brilliantly bumping cut with lithe synths and melodies adding that soul and colour as it races through the galaxies. the iconic ‘buy some’ with the atkins sample then surges into the future with icy hi hats dancing over rubbery drums. the warped synths take the lead and bring a real sense of off kilter energy to this most timeless bit of techno. last of all is the fantastic space mix of ‘encounter’ which is dreamy and cinematic with exquisite keys and pads colouring in a huge night sky as the drums drive things along. this is an archetypal techno ep filled with cosmic colours and serene emotions.

jan felix may gehört zu einer generation, die keine stilistischen berührungsängste kennt. neue verbindungen zu kreieren, statt an alten abgrenzungen festzuhalten, lautet die devise. dabei zeigt may, ende 1993 geboren, kompositorische und spielerische präzision, innovativem gestaltungswillen und humor. schon mehrfach wurde er ausgezeichnet, beispielsweise 2016 bei der internationalen jazzwoche burghausen, wo er den solisten-wettbewerb gewann und mit seiner band den zweiten platz belegte. zwar zählt frank zappa nicht direkt zu mays vorbildern, eine gewisse verwandtschaft in der geisteshaltung lässt sich aber erahnen. etwa im gewitzten mix aus klassischen und modernen einflüssen, die bei jan felix may von jazz über elektronische musik bis zu impressionismus und progressive rock reichen. der junge pianist und komponist weiß, wie man ausgeklügelte musik so attraktiv gestalten kann, dass sie neben hartgesottenen spezialisten auch viele andere offene ohren aus unterschiedlichen generationen erreicht. -red messiah-, jan felix mays fantastisches debütalbum, klingt frisch und ungewohnt anders. das album erscheint auf 180 gramm vinyl.

originally released in 1970, now finally back on vinyl. remastered from the original 1970 analog master.

do you remember groove la chord? well, we dive into similar rave territories with johannes albert and his generators. some might call it peak time stormer. endless arps warped into nasty basslines is what we manage on minilogue. yeah its kind of a tribute to a silver machine. please wait for the break, though. calming things down with a skit of ambient. well, 2018, bring it on!

two of dance musics hottest producers coalesce on the latest hot creations release. frank storm and matteo spedicati bring us gimme tha honey, a throbbing three-track ep that gifts us with a rework from robsoul label boss phil weeks. frank storm reveals -this is our first collaboration which was born a year ago in our studio in barcelona. we share the same passion for our own definition of the ghetto sound, blending fresh and techy vibes.” with this inspiration they weave an almost menacing vocal into the pulsating bassline of lead track gimme tha honey. the phil weeks remix brings a slither of light with a shower of synths and warm, bubbling bass. the ep closes with the long wait shaking the record into heavier terrain, as the industrial keys are underpinned by a flurry of tough drums. frank storm has been a key player on the white isle having played at some of the island’s biggest clubs, space, sankey’s, pacha, ministry of sound and zoo project, as well holding down a residency at the night unusual suspects. matteo spedicati began releasing music in 2006 and has received support from ricardo villalobos and richie hawtin. since then he’s gone on to work with such high profile names as joseph capriati and mendo, as well as releasing records on an abundance of top labels.

francis harris is a founding member of the scissor & thread label a brooklyn-based imprint established 2011 as an outlet for deeper, more personal sounds, as well as music from a range of associated artists including black light smoke, bob moses, frank & tony, dj aakmael, desert sound colony and aris kindt, to name a few. harris own output has gone from tightly wound tech house cuts as adultnapper in the early days, sublime deep house as frank & tony, intricate and expressive musical journeys as evident in his two solo-albums ‘leland and ‘minutes of sleep, and ambient shoegaze with two aris kindt albums, co-produced with gabe hedrick. most recently harris branched out with a new label kingdoms a home for his love of a more adventurous sound. now we are proud to present his new solo single, the first since the release of ‘minutes of sleep, ‘minor formswhich includes two remarkable remixes by valentino mora. more we cannot do is a perfect example of harris feel for depth and dynamics a track that feels submerged in a warm amniotic fluid cocooning the listener in a thick subby bassline, providing much of the groove, with skittering percussion on top and intricate fragments of melody throughout leading to a wonderful moment with live vibraphone provided by new york player will shore. minor forms, the eps title track is cut from similar cloth emerging from a subtly distant place to inhabit a melancholic, beautifully evocative space somewhere between ambient, jazz and the dancefloor. joining harris is greg paulus on trumpet, a long time friend and collaborator adding his signature touch to an already moving piece.

frank is the latest release from dolfin records, a texas indie label with a prominent underground roster that includes rapper lord byron, producer ben hixon, r&b singer jon bap, and former stanley clarke drummer mike mitchell. liv.e is one of the newer artists on the label, having previously collaborated with hixon through a series of dj parties in dallas (“new math mondays”). hixon and bap have significant marks on this project, providing production, mixing, and background vocals. the beats they lend are often heavy on the drums, with short, hazy riffs that resemble dilla-style syncopated loops. frank opens with a short hiss, launching into a jittery pattern of cymbals and drums, stinging bass slaps, and bouncy guitar riffs. you can almost see the tape reels rolling in front of you as the instrumental loops play themselves out with occasional flutters and skips. a chorus of voices enter with harmonies out of the george clinton songbook, blending in behind the slow, finger-snapping beat. it sounds more like a lost, dusty funk recording from the ’70s than an r&b song made in 2017. -nitish pahwa (passion of the weiss)

second release of fufu records: mexican house producer sakro, brings 2 tracks with the new alias skr. on the other side, frank spirit provides two tracks which represent the core of their studio flow. starting off with an inspirational jazz tune and slicing it down to a contemporary loop.

slammin funky / disco double header

zappa’s 1976 album back on vinyl, remastered from the original 1976 analog master.

frank went from a stranger to a friend in a heartbeat. the common passion for music and overall values let us to this first project together. grab your board and surf on the soundwaves of analogue gear with which frank created his soulful music. the analogue touch didn t stop with the music though, we tried to retain it through the whole project from the music over the mastering up to the medium itself. vinyl.
a2, b1 and b2 are mixed by m. schneider while a1 is mixed by r. bischoff. mastered by calyx in berlin. the beautiful cover comes from the hands of siiri ta&#776,,,nnler.

on 005 ken turns away from the light and invites you into the dark with adelaide’s furious frank, who dishes up a selection of psychedelic burners and formidable squelch. on this release frank pays tribute to the many mushroom picking spots in the surrounding hills of his hometown, and does them justice with an assortment of broken beats, affected drum flourishes and paranoid synths. over the course of the 5-tracker, frank presents sounds for the frayed final edges of a night out dancing, where shadows start to play tricks on the mind and each remaining track poses more questions than answers. none typify this nervous energy more so than a2 “dangerous dancer”, with it’s smoked out electro punctuated by a wailing 303 intended for dancers that may have gone too far, but are willing to take the next step.

two killer tracks licensed from oriki music and taken from the recent akwaba abidjan compilation. these two monsters from de frank jr are straight up deep and funky afrobeat from 1970s ivory coast. more essential dancefloor delights from mukatsuku strictly vinyl only singles only label

tataaa! a full on 12- disco ep coming your way via the notorious frank music label. johannes albert – in italy they call him giovanni alberto – plays the rattle bass and bangs out the sweetest piano solo you will hear all year. „giovanni frizzante- it is. truth is he just watched a „how to make italo disco in ableton- tutorial and listened to another 238 lauer tracks for inspiration on top. accompanied by a more sample-laden arp-disco tune that won t give you any cure. added for good measure? jep, prins thomas diskomiks on the flip in all its glory. what could possibly go wrong?

man power has proven on many occasions to be adept at all manner of different moods within the hardware house canon, but on this occasion hes particularly focusing on creating an exotic feeling out of mechanical means. tropical bastard is a fitting title for this project for not an animal records, with the original steeped in driving patterns of rhythm and melody that approximate a flavour of far flung lands while mutating the feeling into something more club-minded. lord of the isles goes one step further with a remix that ramps the modulation up to devilishly wonky levels. tropical bastard 2inch is an entirely different beast that plays on a cinematic vision of tropical escape, but with an acid thread pulsing through it. then the frank butters remix finishes the ep off with a more submerged, but equally mischievous take.

limited pressing on orange marbled vinyl.

originally released in 1979, now back on 180 gram double vinyl, housed in gatefold sleeve.

same track on both sides.

mancini and the creepers is a much needed breath of fresh air that really turned my week around from being horrendous to unreal! with the ridiculous vocal stylings of mancini throwing down some truly unorthodox rhythm, along with the unreal british-accented lyrics, this crew is pure entertainment in my mind. the rapping is done over the production crew, consisting of tommy tempa and frank law’s, beats and is put together in a great package.

exzellenter sampler mit 16 massiven tracks aus der belgischen popcorn-Ära rund um den gleichnamigen club in vrasene (flandern) und seinem dj gilbert govaert. opener ist die vielgesuchte top-rarität “keelin kinda lonesome” von willie j charles, während die tunes von ki ki page und chance halladay hier zum ersten mal auf vinyl wiederveröffentlicht werden! ein schmuckstück für soul/r&b-vinylsammler.

letting it rest was originaly released in 1986 on the new york based chapter 13 label. frank murillo played all the instruments and sings on this killer leftfield disco boogie cut with a heavy italo feel.

is&#8203, frank butters&#8203, a new artist risen out of nowhere via incendiary releases on his own too many squares label, or is he perhaps an established artist taking a new direction? the only concession to this question is that he’s someone &#8203,man power&#8203, has known a long time, and one of his favourite new artists. franks &#8203,cult of glamour&#8203, focuses his early 80s proto-house aesthetic, with two machine driven cuts at differing tempos for opposing late night moods. for remix duties, me me me asked all time hero &#8203,andrew weatherall&#8203, to deliver his own version, and deliver he does with a swamp rock lead bellied organic take of &#8203,make it right&#8203, (as well as a digital only instrumental version). to close off the package man power has enlisted not an animal records mainstay &#8203,ess

toydrum are a duo who sneak into the consciousness. not for them the full frontal assault but, instead, a drip-feed of classy work that many may know without knowing. their hugely acclaimed work with the late singer-songwriter gavin clark lit up shane meadows’ ‘this is england ‘90’, their rework of john lennon’s ‘how do you sleep’ led noel gallagher to have them remix his high flying birds hit ‘in the heat of the moment’ (which, in turn, soundtracked last year’s epic ad for the latest ‘assassin’s creed’ game), and their soundtracks for films such as the recent tye sheridan-starring thriller ‘detour’ and alice lowe’s 2016 venice film festival opener, ‘prevenge’, have broadened their appeal further. toydrum’s signing to skint records is now announced and celebrated by ‘my eye on you (to reinvision)’, a collective interpretation of their work thus far, running the gamut from nick cave’s balladry to trentemøller’s drum & bass-tinted electronica.

next 3 track vinyl on pfand

one of the most beloved innervisions tracks of 2012!

dj support: nina kraviz, marcel dettmann, ben klock, dj hell, laurent garnier, takkyu ishino, nikita zabelin, frank muller, marcel dettmann (one of the most influential techno tunes ever.)

the first track, moaning, has a linear feeling at the beginning: a layer of bass lines makes your feet move instantly until some subtle piano sounds come in at the perfect moment. it creates an atmospheric vibe and when the bass kicks in again, everything seems to fall into place. cosmjn’s interpretation is, as expected, more serious and it has a no-nonsense approach: stripped of the melodic piano sounds, a strong bass line takes over, which makes for an interesting contrast to the original track.
if moaning was a more gentle track, fr sa su is a little bit different: dance floor oriented, the rhythm is certainly higher and it has some intriguing background sounds that go hand in hand with the powerful bass that grows on you from the start of the track. the florian meffert remix closes this ep and it goes out on a strong note: it is a complex track with very different elements and sounds that complement each other just right to get things going.
with early support from: barac, mihigh, dubtil , cristi cons, petre inspirescu , sepp , crihan

vinyl only release - slamming acid / techno monster

2016 reissue of the 1968 album francis vincent zappa conducts the abnuceals emuukha electric orchestra & chorus - “lumpy gravy”. the vinyl lp comes in a gatefold sleeve.

pacific city sound visions take a walk into re-issue territory - a beautiful uncovering that fits neatly into this truly mind flixing catalogue... top tip!

nice price deal !!! minimal and deep-house rhythm with dreamy and constant >nu-trance< melody synth. weird riffs then switched by a dubby and kind of >detroit< styled pattern. the whole track is packed with a profound atmospheric idea and odd effects popping up

having held it down in miami for some, avstin frank is building his profile as a serious connoisseur of stripped down jams with this release for local label sports. isle of venice is a perfect morning-ready treat, all woozy synth tones and delicate percussive shuffle embellished with dubby treatment, while timeless travels sports a tougher structure without losing the heavylidded quality of the opening track. contemplation meanwhile taps into a little touch of french flair with its shuffling groove and jazzy undertones, making a neat foil to the other tracks on offer. gua camoles remix of isle of venice meanwhile takes a diversion into nagging, oddball minimalism for the crowd who like their beats chopped up.

after 20 years as a dj and several releases on labels just like anthony rother´s datapunk, dave clarke´s whitenoise or co-labs with gez varley from lfo, frank kusserow took a longer break from the active electronic music scene. in the meantime he produced tons of new tracks that result in his new and vinyl only imprint sprow recordings.
