the man with a hand in hypercolour, hypeltd, glass table, losing suki and sneaker social club has such an inexhaustible enthusiasm for all forms of electronic music that he is starting a new label! space hardware is jamie russells latest project and comes to fruition with the inaugural sounds of placeholder, an artist russell unearthed one afternoon on soundcloud. the labels mo is simple: to release spaced-out headphone music for the rave generation, where this debut ep consists of two original tracks from the mysterious placeholder, plus a tidy remix from uncanny valleys jacob korn.

kindness throws his net in a wide arc when it comes to inspirations for his debut album: phoenix style soft-pop, 80s electro-boogie, arthur russell-tinted balearic, beatdown house, synth-pop.

following the critically acclaimed opus that was the wurst music ever album comes the remix package for native undergrounds boogie pop masterpiece, push 4 love. while the album boasted a cover version from none other than midnight magic whose take channeled the spirit of arthur russell, both runaway and in flagrantis reworkings are aimed squarely at the dancefloor.

very welcome reissue of the original sire records release of dinosaur s kiss me again from 1978. written and produced by disco legends arthur russell and nicky siano and weighing in at a heavy 13 minutes long, this is a truly hypnotic disco odyssey which takes you on a curling and tension-filled journey through funky piano riffs, signature scratchy guitar work by talking heads supremo david byrne, tumbling drums, stabbing horns and of course mr russell s swirling atmospheric cello solos. all this is held together by myriam valles beautiful yearning vocal performance until the crazy mind-blowing orgasmic final minutes where david byrne goes wild and the whole thing explodes in pure dancefloor meltdown. choose from the a-side jimmy simpson mix or dinosaur s own more stripped down, chaotic but equally compelling mix on the flip. huge in new york especially at nicky sianos own gallery nightclub, later championed by frankie knuckles in chicago and more recently chosen by twitch as the perfect record to end the very last optimo espacio, this is a true disco classic and absolutely essential in any discerning record collection.

mano baby, this is your finest moment yet…. i was sure at first youd gone and sampled arthur russell and i couldnt believe you had such a fine voice. i love you, never change prins thomas, august 2011

6 track ep with pumpin techhouse techno action

the good the bad the ugly the evil is a full on and brandnew 4 track ep from our cologne artist roland m. dill. roland has worked here with a stronger live-set up resulting in tracks more organic. developing from within rather than being developed, the tracks seem to have a stronger hypnotic edge to them. according to the titels the track all show diffferents characteristic. starting with the evil this track is not very obvious but works very much by itself, whereas the good is a perfect intermezzo for djs who really build up their sets with a lot of skill. the ugly is a mental track... it has stunts, it screams, it sees no end... this is mandness on the highest level and also the bad is written in this veain.

the critically acclaimed ninja tune legend returns with a brand new single, including a nickodemus & zeb remix of his classic track >music takes me up< featuring alice russell.

benoit & sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. in the washington dc duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for dfa (the acclaimed boy trouble ep) and visionquest (the lovelorn where the freaks have no name ep), dc duo benoit & sergio return to spectral sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. and >let me count the ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that ive loved.< as the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey. the b-sides >let me count the ways (autumn version)<is a vastly different take on the original?s maximalist swell. stripping the beat back to its bare essentials and building them up again over nearly 12 minutes, the >autumn version< recalls arthur russell?s more minimal moments down to its wobbly bass filigree and mumbled vocal samples. by the end of the track, the claps are falling on the twos and fours like crinkly foliage, synths are sizzling like firewood, and benoit & sergio?s newest banger is revealed in its full glory once again.

here comes 2001 so lets all head for the sun!
an experimental surf dance quintet. fixers have been playing and recording together for just under a year, blending the sixties psychedelic childlike innocence of brian wilson and bruce haack with the spaced out eighties avant-garde dance of arthur russell, dead can dance and tom tom club.

produced slowly and meticulously over the last 12 months, these seven tracks are the closet thing we have had to a new album from andy stott since the release of his debut full-length merciless five years ago. taking influence from an array of seemingly incoherent noises, from the indefinable and unforgettable mind- tricks of arthur russell to the slowhouse of kassem mosse, from the alternate vhs realities of james ferraro and jamal moss to the linn drum classics of the vintage prince era - these seven tracks create their own pace and agenda, largely shying away from the dancefloor in favour of something more complex and hard to define.

such is the importance of russells contribution to the modern music scene that many consider his work to be untouchable but several modern day producers have carefully picked out key elements of his songs whilst recording entirely new and up to date soundtracks. yam who?, faze action, singer mary moore, nycs pocketknife have worked hard to create entirely new instruments and vocals with additional remix work coming from radio slave. in addition peter gordon who worked with arthur russell on many of the original releases has collaborated. adding his musicianship to the newly created cover of >go bang<. further collaborations from arthurs friends and musicians, steven hall & joyce kirby, also provide a new version of >lucky cloud< which is produced by nycs pocketknife.

this is third single cut from the debut album parts unknown which is released on 28 march 2011. >i m sorry< on a1 is electric boogie house. if you like the production of tensnake, you will love. >your love< on a2, this is first song which eddie sung by himself. it sounds arthur russell little bit. >starlight< on b1, eddie invited his friend as co-producer and result is playful house track. >love journey< on b2 is typical eddies soulful beatdown stuff.

the legendary skatalites, alongside the later studio one in-house bands - the soul vendors, sound dimension, soul defenders and brentford road all stars ? were as much a part of the classic studio one sound as were the singers that they accompanied such as alton ellis, horace andy, marcia griffiths and bob marley and the wailers. this album features many of the musicians involved with studio one who literally defined reggae music. from the skatalites members tommy mccook, roland alphonso, jackie mittoo to killer sidemen such as trombonist vin gordon (a/k/a don drummond jnr), saxophonist cedric im brooks, keyboardist and twelve tribes of israel member pablove black. many of the rhythms that these musicians created became the back-bone of the jamaican musical world and their songs have been replayed and re-versioned by 1000s of reggae producers ever-since. the album features classic and super-rare tracks all recorded under clement ?sir coxsoneÊ doddÊs supervision at the legendary recording studio and record label. as well as sixteen killer tracks the album comes with new sleevenotes and photography by dennis morris and adrian boot making this another essential studio one reggae release for connoisseurs of reggae and newcomers alike.

for the second and far overdue release on his little leaf imprint matt moroder delivers a superlative psychedelic reimagination of shuggie otis which sits far beyond the realm of your blog standard ableton edit. matt scliced the original into little pieces put it new together and added some drums and percussion with the respect this soul classic deserves. this rework is hypnotizing makes you wish to never end. on the flip hamburgs hardest working entertainer erobique used the same kind of gentleness to rework some cello and voice by one of the greates disco visionaries and songwriters that left us much to early. by creating a dirty mpc beat and blend it with vocals and cello erobique creates his own vision of the late arthur russell far from the average four too the floor mediocrity. this vinyl only release is strictly limited to 300 copies and shines even more with a splendid artwork that shows love and care

now a full time member of australian super group empire of the sun and 1/3 of the genius of the swiss we honestly dont know how sid found the time to make this heated late night gem. all we do know is arthur russell was integral in his life when he turned it out. echoed moans and whispers, chunky bass line, percussion, arrangement and everything else involved in this 8 minute and 22 second burner are all by the shirtless gentleman of the night you now know as sidwho? session victim is matthias reiling and hauke freer, their house and techno adventures on delusions of grandeur and retreat records have been rinsed out many a time at our future classic parties and all around the world so we knew it was time to get a remix. some guys and gals might think this is too deep or minimal, you just need a bigger sound system!

supplement facts records continue their rich run of form by handing a label debut to detroit-native lee curtiss. the >and we all fall down< ep has been one of the most hotly anticipated from the israeli label and is set to become the soundtrack to the last echoes of summer. we continue to dance, as the days grow short our nights become longer and lees ep is the perfect accompaniment….>i can hear you arthur<, a tribute to one of lees long-time music heroes, arthur russell, is an emotional escape. with russell being a direct sound-inspiration for the release, we are treated to a longing for a far away love. with waves of sound that build and cascade, accompanied by pillow-talk whisperings, all creating eight minutes of rhythmic, warm grooves. arthur never sounded better. after the body-swaying vibes of the a, side b brings the perspirec-electronic throb and hip-grinding action of labor of love. after yearning for arthur, we are more than appeased with the beautifully sultry and ever so intimate vocals of stephanie selvaggio. with its rhythmic guitar opening belying its true intention, labor of love develops into a sensual dancefloor cut with stephanies vocals floating effortlessly with the acidic beats as she drives us ‚crazy, and we all fall down is a perfect example of an artist at his most vunerable. its brutally honest sound invites the listener in with open arms and wraps itself around them like a warm cashmere blanket. as the brutal realisation that summer is almost over starts to sink in…its worth taking comfort in records like this, that make the transition that much easier.

when casting a weary eye towards the impending chill of winter, its important to remember that the choice of company kept can greatly affect the way in which one wiles away the long gray hours. in this case, we didnt even need to look further than our own backyard. enter deep techno masons, donor/truss. made up of greg schappert of brooklyn and tom russell of wales, their collective efforts have seeped into the consciousness of world class djs, producers and fans of uncompromising techno music through releases on synewave, miniscule, dilek, and dumb unit. with this, their first ep on thema, they have begun expanding their signature sound. the heady claustrophobia we’ve come to know and love has opened up just enough, spurring a graceful and startling evolution. we also would like to say that we re very happy that themas first release for the year 2010 is, in part, from local nyc based talent. mr schappert has been a big supporter of this label for quite sometime and to have him and tom step onboard is just about the best way we can think of to start the new year. the future is here, welcome 2010!

danish synth-rock band turboweekends first release in the uk is an atmospheric yet heartfelt cry of regret on the a-side and a jumpy celebration of the end of work obligations (with an ironic twist) on the b-side, featuring the royal company of bristols finest, joker, and indie prince russell lissack from bloc party.

in a fresh, light and nippy way mr. russell drums us out of the indian summer into the oriental autumn. pipes of pan prance above this cool arab beat and take a rocking guitar line in between. and because germany becomes extremely cold these days, fenou #9 heats up more pressing than its predecessors and warms us on top with a vocal taken from the arabian nights that crackles in our ears. the flip side shows more deepness and blows over a warm breeze of spanish dance air on the guitar. vocals whisper longingly above the drums, engrossed in thought far away at the seaside. with this record autumnal coldness is long forgotten and expelled.

greg schappert aka donor (brooklyn, ny) and tom russell aka truss (london, uk) first came into contact sometime towards the end of 2006. it didnt take long to realize that they had an immediate understanding of one anothers musical background and desired direction. finding that connection has resulted in the two continuing to work together on many joint projects, varying their style between more deep and hypnotic minimal techno to the more driving industrial style techno that they both grew up listening to.

heavyweight vinyl. in this light and on this evening, the new album from editors, represents a significant step forward for the band following the huge successes of debut album the back room and the number 1 follow up an end has a start. there have been many changes to life in editors since an end has a start broke the band worldwide and established the then birmingham based four piece as one of the uks most prominent bands of recent times. bassist russell leech and guitarist chris urbanowicz are now resident in new york while singer tom smith has become a father. these changes added to the sense that in this light and on this evening is the start of a new chapter for editors and the band came together in london for the recording sessions with producer flood at the start of 2009 with a determination to push their sound into wholly new territory.

last installment of larry levans last dj set. b side contains comments by judy russell, frankie knuckles/nicky siano and keith haring!

lyrical wit is in abundance, magnified by russell maels soaring falsetto gymnastics. failure with the opposite sex is a recurring topic, from the adolescent fumblings of amateur hour to the resignation of falling in love with myself again. its easy to see why the teenage morrissey was a dedicated fan. the track that really grabbed the publics attention was this town aint big enough for both of us, a classic stomper with a gravity defying melody. 1974s kimono my house is the sound of sparks firing on all four cylinders, providing one of the most curious and comical albums of the 70s. freddie mercury wasnt the only operatic rocker on the block in the mid 70s. the genre was pretty much taken to its logical conclusion by ron and russell mael, the decidedly odd couple who formed the nucleus of sparks. dropping references to immanuel kant and yehudi menuhin, these boys werent your average dumb rock band. kimono my house was their third album, recorded after the brothers had relocated from la to london (where tolerance of tongue in cheek pomp pop was obviously much higher).

r&s is the new alias for russell g and steve haines... russell wil be know for his releases on the likes of blackhole, whoop and of course baroque... steve has released on hed kandi and 1980 amongst many others. adding a funkier edge to steves darker dirtier beats. this new alis is exclusive to baroque, and the first release is a slick flowing stream of tech wried house. on the remix is maxie devine and veerus under their megatonic boys guise, with a tuffer techno take on things.

having been nominated top producer of 2008 by sasha, their sound is a perfect crossover between house and techno... their remixes for fatboy slim , funkagenda ad most recently >gypsy< by steve angello have been a staple of many djs boxes. back with baroque now, and on their 3rd ep for us. kikkass is a slammin techno influenced slice of house music. with just enough melody to tease! the remix comes courtesy of russell g and steve haines, and doesnt dissapoint. a simply must have package

catchy as hell b more styled song from the 80s rap sensation and current reigning hip hop godess (source mag) with remixes from up and comers ruckus roboticus (vocal and dub) and william russell (of fools gold).

as one of the most influential house labels of the 80s sleeping bag has stood the test of time with its releases. 25 years on and the tracks still provide the dance world with a regular source of sample material. here on this double lp compilation are some of sleeping bags most seminal records released during a ten year period, which brought to attention the sublime production talents of the labels cofounder arthur russell and a&r skills of curtis mantronik. the collection contains the track dinosaur l produced by russell, remixed and subsequently made famous by francois kevorkian. the sleeping bag family also extended to legendary producer and dj todd terry, who re mixed several of sleeping bags tracks. also featuring on this release is joyce sims with two tracks taken from her hit album come into my life. after the death of russell in 1992 the label limped on for awhile but finally shut its doors the same year.

supported by 2000 and one, anja schneider, jesse rose, loco dice, shlomi aber, trickski, tobi neumann, to name a few.. once again theres a real nod to the old school here in a track inspired by arthur russell. rich, warm analogue pads and subtle fx flashes from the space echo build an enchanting groove. the intensity gradually develops with sounds slowly evolving, lending a deep hypnotic feeling to proceedings, until the chord progression opens out and you cant help but smile. a genuine end of night anthem and when dixon does his own edit you know your onto something special... version: double for your money, with an extra version of the original that doesnt open out into the full stabs and maintains a deeper groove. martin landsky remix: with a tight, tribal tom pattern and straight ahead groove martin landsky achieves a darker more spaced out feeling with his remix. he pushes the pads to a dubbed out climax without fully opening out the progression and this fully hits the spot. martin landsky has been making waves as a dj and producer since the mid-nineties and is one of the key producers at steve bugs excellent poker flat recordings and running his own intim records.. hes compiled many mix cds for labels such as poker flat, systematic and the partysan compilation series. his debut album was >in between< for pokerflat and since then hes remixed the great & good as well as producing several stunning releases and jetting about with his box of records

an incredible full album from dinosaur l the legendary new york dancefloor project of arthur russell! the groups a punky, funky, chunky amalgam of bass thumping, guitar riffing, keyboard filling, and sax honking all very much in the spirit of russells best quirky club work of the time, but with the added sound here of a more expanded approach one that takes the tunes in a whole new territory than the more famous 12 inch singles! the tracks on the set are simply numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on and come across almost as free jamming instrumentals! totally great stuff as experimental as it is funky!

lerosa is dublin-based italian producer leopoldo rosa. the title track ruski combines a rough-cut sampled break with a loose, minimal arrangement of sub-bass and liquid synth pads. on the flip, russell and tempio are deep, moody house explorations, beautifully suspended by shifting sine wave pads and rhodes-like chords. born in rome, leo developed a love of electronic music through italian pop music of the 1980s, before discovering hip hop and acid house. he began djing in the early 90s and in 1995 moved to dublin where he got heavily into darker, deeper electronica and electro by the likes of autechre, drexciya and the extended detroit-inspired musical underworld. leo began producing his own music in 2000, concentrating initially on electro but broadening his range into unconventional house and techno styles. his debut lerosa release was the ‘maike ep’ on dublin’s d1 recordings in 2005. as well as this real soon release, leo also has a forthcoming 12inch on enclave recordings (ireland)
