nach den half-tempo- und pop-andeutungen auf seinem letzten studioalbum micro mega ist die intention des franzosen strip steve nun eindeutig: roh und fies zu werden! das gelingt ihm auf seinem neuen 4-tracker crowd control mit den 4 perfekten dancefloor-granaten zwischem kaltem house, warmen techno, moodymann-spirit und prince-freestyle anno 2025 hervorragend.

chris page is a rising talent within the london techno scene. we are very happy to have him on micro.fon with this 12inch ep. 3 techno tracks of its own kind. raw, dark, groovy and minimal. chris has several strong releases under his belt, featuring heavily on labels such as affin

adrian niculae, also known as priku is one of bucharests finest djs and producers. after releasing for labels like arpiar and all inn he has now decided to release and produce independently. going forward, motif will feature most of his work, as well as some of his close aquaintances. acoustic is the name chosen for motif 01 and experiment is the game. similar to his last experience with arpiar, bonita mariposa is a dreamy, yet pumping track, filled with shakers and spikes that go along perfectly with the dark piano. afterhour delight or possibly an intricate starter, it could be either of them. marker keeps the piano but inserts more rhythm, more percussion, more mystery while micro house is blended with 808 rims and an addictive synth that will surely keep you...

for one day ep is the second release of ftwr recordings.
môme (fragil, 4lux, housewax) drops here 2 housy & deep dancefloor bomb. och (trelik, bass culture, autoreply) & jonas sella (telegraph) take you in a brilliant journey through house music, micro-house & techno.

opening up the release is *der groove günther*, a stripped back bit of rubbery, supple techno. the groove sure is infectious, but it’s the way its detailed with such curious sounds – metal twangs, squelchy chords, icy hi-hats – that makes it so engaging. on the remix, tinush reimagnes the track as an even weirder thing. it’s all about micro-evolving details, subtle and inherent funk and keen sound design that is part shiny and stiff at the same time as being elastic and bendy.
the first vinyl pressing is a limited golden seal edition!

a 4-track package traversing house and techno. first up jour de fete, a reference to the black and white 1940s french comedy – perhaps a clue to mr georget… one things for sure this is toe-tapping house. taking its time to perfectly build up the progression towards smooth outbursts of wailing sirens. 6eme etape is another fine example of get-up-and-dance house, theres plenty of driving drum kick and jazzy key chords, nicely pulled back and interrupted, to drop back in again with a renewed energy. poil de renard on the other hand immediately marks out its territory among the german minimal and micro house space. strong, syncopated beats laced with chopped up whispers and unknown reverberations, this is tough! the 103 mix softens up the edges, a subtle underlying synth providing the mellowness – essentially your morning-after dub version.

bucharests electronic scene is surely flourishing these days. new artists, new sounds and, not least, new labels appear almost every day. it was time for old comrades piticu and herodot to start one of their own. unanim is the name they have unanimously chosen to represent them. first come out the sounds of piticu which are rather techno and agressive. it is time to dance on both sides of tipic ep and we unanimously like the ideea.

with releases to his credit on labels such as warp records, rephlex, planet-mu and ninja tune, its fair to say that luke vibert knows a thing or two about electronic music. now he returns to lo recordings for the third installment of his acclaimed nuggets series, this time delving into the archive of the bruton music library to unearth some of the production music studios choice moments.

vinyl only !! of course!! more than a year after his last ep, quarion returns to retreat for a fantastic expedition: a journey to the >moons around jupiter<. consisting of four tracks dedicated to the four galilean satellites, >moons around jupiter< is a sonic masterpiece that blurs the lines between house, techno, broken beat and disco. a certain detroit mystique (the futurism & outer space themes) also surrounds this mesmerizing ep which quarion himself ranks as possibly his best work to date … come and take a ride! we may share the ultimate bond with the moon europa: the presumption of oceans underneath its crust of ice as well as an atmosphere that is mostly filled with oxygen make this satellite a good candidate for possible extra-terrestrial life (more micro-organisms than 3-eyed aliens though). quarions >europa< hopes to reveal the secrets underneath the ice layer: beginning with a skippy beat and a tinkling piano, the track evolves rapidly as subtle keys and a cosmic choir appear from beyond.

other heights return to its split format to present spacy techno works from huerco s. and lenta. huerco s. and lenta? who? precisely. even more so with its white label series, theres no agenda with other heights than to deliver fine, ethereal electronic music. to assiduously navigate the infinite pool of net-published material, stumbling upon delicious exotic gems—regardless of categorical boxes like genre or scene—to press in micro-runs and drop capriciously into the hands of like-minded aural adventurers.what is it that you seek,sonic traveller? to be led into those eyes-closed moments,to bask in sheets of dopamine-inducing chords? to become lost in the pulse, hypnotised by intoxicating rhythms and tiers of gently undulating timbres? for the time being, your search is over. huerco s.is from kansas city, usa—lenta, from russia. and other heights white label 009 is their record.

3 chairs, omar s and patrice scott. this limited ep is testament to the wild basement energy that has culminated from these nights, beautifully pressed on wax for this first ever vinyl outing. remember is a swinging downbeat vocal track based around a superb vocal improvisation from newcomer chris raine. an ambitious opener, this is fine uk hip soul with warehouse dancefloor swagger to boot. next track, the benji b endorsed cookie strips the vocals right down into a swirling motif of sunrise energy. this track sounds great on the radio, but will also find favour on the more discerning soulful floors. for a contrast flip over for the kraftwerkian micro-tech of contact to hear what a werk party sounds like at a hazy-eyed 3am and finally, as if all this wasnt enough check out the dubby, spaced-out brawn of u&me which sees second outing for vocalist chris.... on this ep which rounds things off nicely. for fans of firecracker, exit records and prime numbers, this exciting and multi-faceted ep marries uk and detroit influences with consumate ease. one to watch... plays/ supported by benji b, rahaan, kev beadle, burnski, kevin reynolds etc.

inspired by the wise words: the moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness, all the burden on your heart disappears. - osho nansen: the point of departure chapter 8.
playfulness, sees the talented german duo in fine form, turning in a slice of skipping house that welds organic percussion to a heavily electronic groove that slowly unfurls into a warm, synth-led number that owes as much to chicago as it does to european micro-house. combining fat melodic sub bass grooves, alongside intelligent layers and synch patterns, creating the perfect dance floor journey for the music purist.

fur the texan, born bryce isbell, extracts minutiae with precision. his compositions, while airily sparse, are saturated with details plucked from broad of landscapes, whether they resemble the texan prairie or the expanses of industrial germany. isbells composite micro-samples are infinitesimal, soaked in breathless allusion and divorced from their context. the crisp, insistently percussive arrangement oscillates like metal shavings manipulated by an unseen magnet. fur has untraditionally tapped into a eu techno mind-meld, a berlin thought-stream. after his early work with neon indian’s alan palomo as ghost hustler, isbell dove deep into minimal sounds that transported listeners closer to inner city detroit than the mid-west. unos first fur ep cocoon follows several years of isbell silence. after a notable debut with lefse, fur submerged below a sea of techno and came up with a deep analog style that has acquired fans in fred p and firecracker records with twisting house like >knots<. a second part in the fur saga on the way, uno has faith this young westerner will be putting a big texan stamp on the house scene to come.

you know a producer has got something when the first note of the first track you hear makes you sit up and take notice. so it is with 19-year-old east londoner joss ryan: the instant the jabbing orchestral motif at the beginning of >melancholy dreams< – the title track of his debut ep – kicks in, it hits your emotional centres hard and lodges in your memory. as statements of intent go, its a pretty tasty one, and tells you that this is a talent who can stand out and make an impact way beyond the ins and outs of the micro-genres and endlessly reconfiguring trends of underground music.to put it simply: joss is a grime kid who expanded his horizons. his popular mix of his own material for mary anne hobbss radio show last december already shows that the three tracks on this ep are by no means a fluke, and there is a whole lot more to come besides…

the next chapter in truesouls evolving story comes from marc antona. with discography highlights that include releases for mobilee, highgrade, micro-fibers and, most recently, his own dissonant label, antona is an already familiar name to followers of quality techhouse and the deeper, groovier side of techno. impressive career credentials that have been galvanized by marcs appearances for cadenza as part of their vagabundos tours. with such experience behind the ibiza-based producer, it comes as no surprise that this ep brings the kind of sunshine sensuality to truesoul that has come to characterize the soundtrack of dance musics mecca with the sultry percussion and understated funk of >gloves off< or the perpetual bass groove and twitching rhythm of >darwins corner stone<.

first copies only via decks.de !!! laut & luises second poodle, the >shoot the sun ep<, marks the long overdue return of manchesters third dimensional space head norken. collaborating with deer, a powerful brujo from weimar he met while hanging out in a space trailer during his recent long travels, he managed to create an ethereal delight. these techno sorcerers have conjured an album worthy of its title micro don juan. we have chosen two lush trans-dimensional techno tracks with a deep housey feel, namely >shoot the sun< (a2) and >remember that feeling< (b1), and asked deers local buddy dwig aka die wiese im garten (a1) and our charming dürerstuben (b2) for remixes to complete the collection to an essential listening for the third ear. yes, well done gentlemen!

mathias bradler is a new face on micro.fon but not new to the game. under his full name, he delivers exactely the deep and dark techno sound we are looking for. a strong collection of deep, dubby and bass-driven technojourneys, based on minimalistic soundscapes and dry patterns. in on remix duties we got the infamous pawn shop people, known for their 12inch, recently released on stylerockets ltd. they added percussion and funk to the original and turned it into a essential dj-tool, which guarantees full impact on the floor.

continuing the exploration of bristol 4/4 variants, immerse proudly offers forth this decisive two-tracker from the prodigious mind of jacob martin, better know as hodge. you might be more familiar with hodge from his work as part of outboxx, who we proudly debuted on ime025. that said, he first surfaced last year with the deadly conjecture on another fine bristol institution, pollen. one thing rings true in any of the output hodge is associated with, melody. shirking the safety of sterile mechanics that so many producers hide behind, he tackles interplaying notes and harmonies with a fearless exuberance. opening track the fall kicks off on a jerky groove and ice-cold organ murmurs, gently easing in layers and clips of sound with the same joie de vivre as akufen and other micro-house progenitors. ‘crush’ kicks off on a more decidedly broken tip, keeping the twostep shuffle slow and easy as whispers of garage skip in between the warm pads. the overriding vibe on hodge’s ep is one of unpretentious, good times tunage.

this is a great track holgi gave to emerson during the last weeks and it truly is a hell of a tune, one of those you just hear once and remember ever since from then on,…. it has this warm crisp feel, nice chords and a monstrous groove that makes the good looking girls wanna go crazy. i am sure you want to have that one in your crate just in case,… the sound is slightly more referring to the minimal/tech house beginnings of the micro.fon labelsound but still it perfectely adds up to the labels profile. included are two high class remixes by tim xavier

kieren dickins aka dels is a new type of rapper (which is another way of saying that heãs more than just a rapper). applying the kind of attention to detail, micro-management and macro-vision which jay-z used to build a business empire, dels makes art. popular art mind you, but art all the same, an album of emotional peaks, musical innovation and surreal, brilliant lyrics, held together by such a unique, such a strong vision that it sounds almost silly to suggest itãs just a debut. already causing a stir with the tasters ¶shapeshift÷ and ¶trumpalump÷ (and the videos he masterminded for them), everything is now ready to show how these pieces fit into the bigger picture.

early support by marc depulse, matt star, julien chaptal, emerson, helmut dubnitzky, toni haupt, sven teet, and many more....
