im sommer 1999 aus der taufe gehoben, ist unsere total compilationserie kaum älter als das 21. jahrhundert selbst – was total 17 als letzte ausgabe vor der volljährigkeit kennzeichnet. und tatsächlich strahlt die 2017er kohorte einen verspielten Überschwang aus, mit dem sich nur wenig andere compilations nach über 15 jahren am markt messen können: labelveteranen und neuzugänge wie etwa superpitcher, weval, tobias thomas & michael mayer, chris klopfer, juergen paape, voigt & voigt, max scholpp und nu u orchestra begeistern mit einigen der eingängigsten tracks, die die serie bis dato gesehen hat.

wie andere total compilations zuvor, ist total 17 zuallererst eine perfekte gelegenheit in unser aktuelles programm einzutauchen, dank der actiongeladenen 2xcd version die gefeierte höhepunkte und persönliche favoriten von laurent garnier, the orb, kÖlsch, vermont, t.raumschmiere, patrice bÄumel, danny daze und vielen anderen vereint. die filetstücke jedoch dürften zweifelsohne die exklusiven tracks sein, die sich auf beiden editionen, 2xcd und 2xlp, befinden – acht brandneue produktionen von kompakt-kernkünstlern und ausgewählten labeldebütanten die sowohl den sammelnden kenner als auch den ambitionierten tanzflur-aktivisten mitreissen werden.

nice price deal !!! s.c.u.m. klingt wie eine zeitgemäße version von joy division gekreuzt mit dem pop appeal von hurts in einer echo kammer. dunkel und majestätisch. oder in den worten des nme: >the cataclysmic pummelling of noise that accompanies them will turn peoples insides out.< >amber hands< wurde wie das gesamte album in london mit produzent ken thomas (bekannt für arbeiten mit david bowie, the cocteau twins etc.) aufgenommen und erscheint mit remixversionen von sonic boom und silver apples und dem exklusiven track >fountains<.

italo-cosmonauts marvin & guy board life and death with superior conjunction. alessandro parlatore and marcello giordani’s four-tracker explores parallel worlds through expert synthesiser sequencing and cavernous vocals features. celestial melodies paired with athena’s stream of consciousness italian recital guarantees superior conjunction’s dance floor devastation. arpadia’s hypnotic theme compliments the title track’s restrained drama, while fantastic twins recital elevates the train of fantastic to an altered state of being. the ep is out on june 16th, right on time for this year’s life & death off sonar event in barcelona.

following last year’s much-acclaimed solo album “mondo alterado” (hippie dance 08), original pachanga boy and hippie dance mentor rebolledo returns to the limelight with the jam-packed mondo re-alterado (hippie dance 10), tapping into his vast and varied network of friends and fellow soundsmiths. artists such as superpitcher, dj tennis, maceo plex, red axes, fango or fantastic twins deliver stunning takes on rebolledos’ unique signature sound, creating a full suite of exclusive remixes, cover versions and reinterpretations.
from the super-energetic club rumblings of maceo plex’s discotico plexico to dj tennis’ dreamy pimiento drive version of a numb gas to the future or fantastic twins’ party bomb fantastic pow pow, the journey through mondo re-alterado is full of twists and turns – a world where an epic, cinematic soundscape such as superpicher’s rainboy super space sits comfortably alongside the claustrophobic, punishing banger that fango sculpted from stand-out cut “pow pow”.

meanwhile, red axes turn the casual narrative of “life is strange, life is hard, life is great” into a bouncing workout – a great companion piece to want, danny daze and shokh’s propulsive, jagged dub version of “fears come true”. other highlights include jörg burger aka the black frame with the lush black rainbow woman, paulor’s country rock extravaganza discotico desertico and not one, but two excellent contributions from former italians do it better honcho mike simonetti. it’s a magical, surprising ride that finds beauty in contrasts – while staying tuned to rebolledo’s spirit of adventure and powerful sense of style.

nice price deal !!! supported by dj paulette/david guetta, francesco farfa, glimmer twins, kolombo, koma & bones, mason, riva starr, the scumfrog and many more... on one of his many trips to germany playing alongside marc romboy, tommie sunshine dropped by the studio of 45 rocks and heard this tune they had been working on. 20 minutes later he had the lyrics and 30 minutes more they were put to tape sending him and marc out the door in less than one hours time. the track first saw the light of day in its original form on tommie s ultra rock remixed in america and has now been transformed into a powerhouse package for every possible taste.

in time for the 20th anniversary of his label hospital productions, dominick fernow offers the first release of his techno-focused moniker vatican shadow on ostgut ton, following up on his berghain residency and joining ostgut booking in 2016 with his vatican and prurient projects. the cocteau twins/this mortal coil-channelling, beatless widescreen opener “they deserve death” and the two collateral club/dancefloor tracks “rubbish of the floodwaters” and “weapons inspection” offset each other by reincarnating the tape manipulation that laid the foundation of vatican’s first performances with analog hardware and minimalist midi-dissection. produced in los angeles with josh eustis, vatican shadow’s rubbish of the floodwaters ep casts a full spectrum picture of where the project was born and where it headed.

nice price deal !!! classic hip hop trax

following the first chapter of andy mac sdiving birdseries, idle hands welcomes italian producer piezo into the fold with an ep that harks back to the smoky, dubwise ambience of some of the label s earliest releases. luca mucci was a bristol resident for a few years before returning to his native milan, carving out an identity for his piezo alias with a slew of dubstep-focused eps on labels such as artikal music and subaltern. while on an idle hands skirmish stateside and playing on ny radio, one of the kelly twins dropped lume and remarked on how idle it sounded, sparking the process that led to this record. you can sense a link the early kowton records on ep opener opeq, all monochromatic textures and taut, slow-stalking rhythms, but here those facets are interspersed with a unique melodic elegance that offsets the moody immersion of the track, eventually blooming out into an effervescent slice of slow-motion house music. novemiluano meanwhile displays muccis capabilities in handling broken beats, exercising a devastating restraint without compromising on presence or energy in crafting a stunning piece of meditative soundsystem music. pushing that foundational dub principle of space and minimalism even further, lume closes the record out in stunning style with an intimate, glacial stepper that champions minute detail as much as looming gaps in the sound. with a peppering of micro sampling atop a deathly bassweight march, its a finely pointed arrow aimed right at the heart of idle hands, and we couldn t be happier to be releasing it.

art-aud is back to present his second release of the main series, after booming with the secret rave one. this release comes from a really important icon in the italian electronic-techno scene, a person that from the beginning of the 90s helped form what we enjoy now through his music, parties and writings. his name is andrea benedetti, aka sprawl. over the years he provided help to lory d in creating sounds never seen, founded his label plasmek, created a fanzine called tunnel and a distribution company with marco passarani, to name a few. this ep contains three tracks of pure electronic excursion and a remix by the rephlex-twins d arcangelo. the track electrome was originally released in 1994 on his own label and now, after nearly 23 years, sees the light again with a remaster.

super disco compiles 4 re-edits. techno twins 118bpm, eddy grant sunshine 120bpm, mighty pope 122bpm, myele-black line 107bpm

this will mark the first time all of these tracks will be available on vinyl. further, the album will feature unreleased tracks from cringe machine as well as a twins remix of love letters contribution nag. an interview of harsh riddims ryan parks by 2mrs mike simonetti (and vice versa) make up the liner notes and the labels will be throwing parties in nyc and atlanta to celebrate the release.

the third release on ascorbites own corseque records is not for the faint-hearted. advance the flight and inadequate demeanor are clearly twins, delivered from the darkest corners of ascorbite’s mind. the bold, pounding quality of the ep brings adam x or grovskopa to mind but ascorbite has a dystopian touch that’s entirely his own. advance the flight is like a battle track for an intergalactic armada being attacked by an infinite horde of swarming space ants. inadequate demeanor, on the other hand, is a grim steampunk fantasy of a black, shining locomotive plainly out of control, raging on red hot rails towards the end of the line. however, while both tracks are rough and unforgiving, ascorbite manages to invigorate them by the use of subtle melancholic atmospheres – like rainy skies over a concrete desert. a balance between brutalism and vitality. a trademark of ascorbite and corseque records.

just listen records and his beatmakers crew, grim reaperz, present their new ep, the cycle ep, with infamous mobb west (big twins, ex twin gambino, from ny & xp from rhyme addicts from l.a.). this new ep offers two new original tracks, “the cycle” and “dollars & cents” as well as an alternative version which features an a list of french underground mcs. limited to 500 copies worldwide!

following on from david morales appearance on the label earlier this year, rekids tap up shed and ryan elliott for a pair of percussive reimaginations. well known for remixes of the thompson twins, shawn christopher, clive griffin and the pet shop boys, morales red zone moniker was conceived during the def mix legends formative years at the renowned club sharing the same name. 50 weapons and monkeytowns shed adopts his head high alter ego for a remix that draws the originals vocals into the spotlight before planting thunderous kick drums beneath whilst dusty pads operate above. meanwhile, ostgut ton affiliate ryan elliott crafts a reimagination that incorporates breaky percussion, a rumbling low end and sweeping astral synths.

following their album save! aka colder & mutado pintado are back on dlm, with another deadly attack! kamikaze style. we ve been waiting a longtime for an i:cube remix. we ve been fans and friends since his debut and we love that he strayed from his more technoey recent work, as great as it is. this is full on psychedelia, almost rock in its approach. a trip, not a track. russia s great hope (not ivan drago), lipelis, hot on the wheels of his macdonald flack and the ack-ack pack pack remix delivers two radicals/tangents. police & robbers. they fly high, both in their own manner. rainy monday is dubbed out in space with that jungle screw feel. slowed down breaks that are all the rage with the yoof, apparently but lipelis takes it to another level. last floor his version of darkness in the middle is a trickster, you d think almost ambient kraut before you end up on an italo-piano-expansives beach.

having already issued a few cassettes via his own harsh riddims label as well as cgi’s sister label dka records, ryan parks brings his fit of body project to cgi for his debut 12inch, release. here we are treated with two previously unreleased original cuts as well as galcher lustwerk and twins reworks of a pair of older tunes. fit of body’s sound is unique among the current crop of bedroom dance producers in that it can ignite a dancefloor while still feeling deeply personal. this mood is enhanced by the way parks colours his tracks with his own voice. his approach to adding live instrumentation to the arrangements lends a handmade delicacy otherwise lacking in so much hyper-quantized machine music. these are tracks that will feel at home in the dj booth, your living room and your bedroom.

ltd nice price --- in 2006 a young unknown david e sugar rocked up at a greco-roman party armed with two nintendo gameboys and a guitar pedal and blew us all away with the ensuing hour of acid. the night was so legendary that he wrote a song about it for our new york soundclash a few weeks later: *oi new york, this is london, oi new york greco-roman soundsystem* … and, quite by accident, the record label was born. a little black round piece of history accompanied by remixes from skream, hot chip, ragga twins and jesse rose.

they say you have your whole life to make your first album, years upon years of growth, learning and experience filtered into one perfect record. your debut is supposed to be the one you labour over, while the follow-up is meant to be served up within spitting distance of the last. well, not if you’re london based wild palms. “we did that in reverse,” explains the band’s sardonic, quick-witted frontman lou hill. “the first album was just the songs that we would play live, we wrote it really quickly. but this one took ages...” five years in fact.
recorded by the band in the same self-built manor house studio where they made their 2011 de-but ‘until spring’, the new album ‘live together, eat each other’ is a lusciously layered offering of hazy experimentalism and off-kilter alt-pop, that follows in the auspicious lineage of beach house, cocteau twins and tv on the radio.
the vinyl lp is housed in a gatefold sleeve with download code included.

limitierte wiederveröffentlichung des 1995er albums als 180g schwere vinyl-edition. nach dem moby über nacht mit seinem track go die techno-szene mit einem der großen hits dieser phase versorgte und schnell zwei compilations mit frühwerken des künstlers auf den markt geworfen wurden, sollte everything is wrong sein erstes richtiges album werden. frisch bei dem label mute unter vertrag, zeigte sich moby musikalisch erstaunlich facettenreich. auf der einen seite stehen dancefloor-hymnen wie das überdrehte -feeling so real oder die single every time you touch me, auf der anderen seite überraschte moby mit ambient und filigranem pop. when its cold id like to die mit gast-sängerin mimi goese klingt ganz so als würde moby die frühwerke des labels 4ad (cocteau twins, dead can dance) außerordentlich schätzen. mit dieser varianz nimmt er seinen weiteren werdegang voraus, bei dem er noch häufiger überraschen sollte.

fantastic voyage’s autumn 2015 release of soul for dancers proved so successful, that we didn’t have to think twice when lois wilson (mojo, record collector) asked if she could do it all over again. it turns out that there were plenty more classic sides in her dj crates, drawing on that rich seam of early soul and proto-soul rhythm & blues, of the sort that would have packed the dancefloors on the sixties club scene, or has been embraced by subsequent generations of club soul diehards.

new york house legend david morales arrives on radio slave’s rekids for a vinyl only release. homage to his formative years at the influential club of the same name, morales’ red zone project is the moniker which the def mix veteran produced many of his seminal remixes under, from the thompson twins to shawn christopher, clive griffin to overweight pooch and propaganda to the pet shop boys. rekindling the pseudonym for a vinyl only appearance on matt edwards’ renowned imprint, the release initiates with a robust dancefloor workout titled ‘don’t go’ that’s laced with heady melodies and energetic hats. meanwhile, ‘tribal funk’ is a more rhythmic cut featuring thudding drums, deep chords and compelling vocal samples.

180gr vinyl, download code & poster ! from a festival to a feature to friendship, from techno to electronica to a band. in this manner towards twitter compatibility, one may describe eating snow s previous path, which has really just begun for douglas greed and mooryc, with only few characters. the two of them met in 2010 at a festival in poland, only shortly afterwards the joint tracks -pain- and -morning gloria- developed, which can be listened to on douglas greed s debut album krl. however, dougi and mooryc weren t just in tune with each other quickly, they also automatically arrived at a common sound despite their different musical roots, which ranges from sensual indietronica to powerful house right up to perfectly grooving pop moments.

tom demac tears down the gazelle twin original compositions and rebuilds them with feverish candor. *belly of the beast* pounds hard with rubbery percussion and rattling hats like chains, the gazelle twin chants her mantra *i ll beat them all at their own game…* demacs padded cell like production is most definitely some of the best work we have heard him do to date, and this dark sound aesthetic spills into his take on *guts*. like an electro take on a john carpenter score, demac carves out a futuristic and desolate take on gazelle twins celebration of urge resistance and taking pleasure in the complexity of the mind.

a lush 90s vibe haunts this first offering by new parisian talent voiron, but not one of simple nostalgia - one of real class. the glittering layers, futuristic architecture and spaceship motions of opener -radôme- bear the true density of some early warp and reflex classic productions. one doesnt need to go any further to feel that the sleek skyline and mental landscapes voiron draws here might be the natural extension of those started by aphex twins selected ambient works or even 808 states hacienda dance cuts.

rhythmic theory follows on from the tough electro manifestations that appeared on the kelly twins happy skull imprint with a return to his own self-sufficient outpost, delivering another two tracks that delve into further possibilities within the tradition of house and techno.
