laboratory is back with a real house music >vinyl only< ep from a new parisian talent : steve marie. remixed by the french duo ange siddhar & illan nicciani.

originally a member of the california r&b group club nouveau, this was irving s crowning glory as a member on the chi-town house faternity. the song was written by dwayne willie wonka grant and remixed by frankie knuckles and is quite unlike most of the vocals that came out of the house scene, with a beautiful clarity to his voice.

back by popular demand, we are thrilled to bring you this limited edition re-press of the debut lp by algerian born producer el mahdy jr. pressed on black vinyl, and housed in a heavyweight clear polyvinyl sleeve with download code included.
born in sidi bel abbess, algeria, now living in istanbul, el mahdy jr. is a rising voice in sample based global electronic music. his sonic experiments have grown into a collection of disciplined, well timed musical gestures that confound the expectations of any single genre. splicing devotional music into a blunted blend of half time bass and mystic sound. familiar in its bass weight and its global melt, but completely new and enveloping in its fragility and poise.

big with dixon, the drifter, alex niggemann, fur coat, thugfucker, frankey and sandrino. -sketches of pain- is a meet-up of two cultures which have been at war with each other for thousands of years. music unites where the world of men divides! here the magical voice of egyptian singer ahmad elsawy can weave its spell. intelligent electronica, ethnic and acoustic instruments, all join together once more to blend two worlds into one universal language. 3 remixes. luca bacchetti continues his series of endless remixes preferring a mostly dub feel with a version that retains some of the original elements, creating that tension culminating in what is the “suspended” sonic idyll that lately has characterized his breakdowns, by now a trademark of his. jon charnis, who we already know for his work on innervisions and all day i dream, has taken it in another direction to put together a true masterpiece, the tone here becoming more -trippy- with a pure afterhours atmosphere. the ever present and increasingly detailed groove add to that magic touch that has made charnis one of the most interesting techno artists on the american scene. last but not least one of our favourite techno artists, eduardo de la calle, surprises us with an interpretation that distances itself completely from the original, moving it into that enigmatic, mysterious and unregulated territory that is definitely his very own unmistakable way of living and feeling techno music. an ep that we expect will come-out from indoor clubs to find its best expression in exotic locations, deserts, beaches, dimensions that are part of that imaginary world that we call: endless.

we have started a new project from a new part of finish team records only on vinyl. for the first release we have made a 4 track e.p. with the main artists of the label: manu p, andrea rubolini, aumrec & gabriele orsini. first track is composed by manu p, and is named el torito. is the perfect track for the summer time, with a latin tech house with a huge bass and melodic voice, perfect for the middle of the night set. the second is a track by andrea rubolini (the crowd), also here a huge bass during all the track and a melodic synth that characterized the track. the third track by aumrec (elonove), is more techno, with lot of strange and secret minimal part and a solid and fresh kick. gabriele orsini also composed the fourth track (the suspect), a techno and intense travel trough the dark techno scene.

after a strong first release contort yourself returns with events at the fatal party which comes over more as a description than a title, brimming with a bubbling sense of tension and fear. hamburg duo fallbeil kick things off in impressive style with a crunchy acid monster which twists and turns followed by two killer proto-techno cuts from legendary french industrial band die form from their 1985 tape hurt. here we find ourselves in a unsettling scenario with metallic voices scowling over clanging machines and guitar feedback in an unhinged way. the mysterious slugbug (l.i.e.s./russian torrent versions) starts the flip with goback, a creeping acidic beast moving unstoppably forward as a reverberating voice ripples throughout. any calm is then shattered by ibm a.k.a. jamal moss whose remix of die form hammers home a tough seven minutes of mangled synths, bubbling acid and thundering drums. a highly recommended, intense journey.

the second of the untld protagonist series, by furz, savours the spirit of alfred tailor, an influential figure in the development of the bright young artist, whose first ep is strong and smooth, with raw energy, sultry and primal. the title track is remixed by laurine frost, who inspired by the south american hypnosis of the artist, takes it further, developing the dialogue and deepening the percussive structure, whilst maintaining the mystique and spirit of alfred tailor. the second original work on the record, entitled torino soul is an ode to the automobile of alfred tailor, it opens serenely as if racing through the valleys of cordoba s horizon, scenery rushing by on a hot day. amidst this, the mechanical metal of the engine revolves in it place, as we are rushed forward, and the voice heard a memory both of the machine and the man, alfred tailor.

deep dub techno music - mastered by salz music. with >the tube< the seventh release of the label tiefenrausch awakes – this time out of the hands of biodub. as a reminiscence to the early times of dub, the record comes as 7inch vinyl. in a classical but innovative manner biodub creates a tune between relaxed as well as driving beats and an irresistible deepness. the record presents one track in two different versions. while “the tube” solely bets on the instrumental deepness, “until forever” comes with the voice of ray darwin and disperses a pinch of reggae into the track. the vinyl is decorated with the artwork of alexander ketzer. he created the perfect cover referring to jules verne. 20.000 leagues under the sea – exactly the right slogan for tiefenrausch 007.

standard black vinyl - repress 2014
glorious and epic two tracker vinyl for bosconi records, this time by our favourite detroit techno duo the oliverwho factory. we used to be big fans of their madd chaise works and latest rush hour and planet e were awesome, but that percussive sound was different from what we knew from their past. we wanted them to give another chance to their more jacked out musical side in memory of the two masterpieces (and bosconi soundsytem favourite waxes) those were >the rhythm< and >the rain 5th wave<, and so we proudly got another timeless, soulfull, spacey and futuristic techno anthem called >take me away< darryl with his magic hands has created an ultra effective combination of energetic and groovy pumpin kick with a tight funky bassline substaining an upbuilding layers of dreamy synths and stormy noises while the voice of lashone gives that unique colour and atmosphere to the track that all the oliverwho fans love, dictating their original trademark sound. on the flip, takin inspiration from tama sumo panorama bar mix samplin the ow, we got an upbeat version of their slowmotion gem called >together<, that this time, thanks to altered states re touch of darryl and shone has become a proper and fat techno arena bomb, now just for the pleasure of absolutely everybody. you wont miss it, for sure

cowboy rhythmbox are nathan gregory wilkins and richard x, latest signings to phantasy. coming together to create their own singular strain of music for dancing, they draw on a collective love of outsider house, bargain bin cut-outs, hard drive debris, rudimentary jack trax, obscure tv themes, euro disco, ebm, detroit techno, the smith & wesson model 3 and horses. we got the box brings to life the playground game of repeat-a-word-until-it-sounds-weird, pushing and pulling a disembodied voice by milliseconds to create a hypnotic mind episode. on the flip rattle takes off where their debut track shake left off, a devastating barrage of industrial drums and frenetic chants. the vinyl ep comes with download code.

the debut album by this important new british artist. exploring mystic and occult audio space with cello, field recordings, violins, hand made percussion and the human voice, this is barely conceivable as an artist s first album. the depth and quality is tangible in every hair-raising moment, at every crescendo when one is left teetering above the abyss...

some rather memorable moments in the catalogue of jimmy tamborello, aka dntel, feature collaborations with neatly paired guest vocalists such as ben gibbard, jenny lewis, baths and mia doi todd, to name a few. tamborello has always paid a good deal of attention to picking these singers carefully, with his backing a perfect complement- the producer humbly stepping out of the spotlight, allowing the guest to shine.
the vinyl lp includes an mp3 download card.

marking the start of an exciting new collaborative project, wolf + lamb proudly share the debut release of the waves & us. formed out of a creative meeting of minds between maayan nidam, markus nikolaus and louis mcguire, theirs is a sound that strengthens the storied approach of a live band with the experimental thrust of analogue electronics. pop and rock fundamentals lend an earthly hook to the tracks, but these are anything but straight-forward songs. maayan has already forged a formidable career in electronic music, both under her own name and as part of mara trax, scoring releases on such celebrated labels as perlon. markus performs his own solo project cunt cunt chanel, while louis is part of ballet school, a band releasing on noted indie label bella union. the whirlwind of creativity that has whipped up around the trio has yielded an album which will follow this single, made up of one-take recordings that capture the energy and adventure that powers the waves & us. maayan s electronics provide the atmospheric backdrop to the songs, running modular synthesisers and drum machines through detailed chains of processing and effects with an emphasis on a warm, charmingly rough finish. markus guitar undergoes a similar fuzzy treatment while his voice calls out introspective, abstract lyrics to set the mind racing. louis bass underpins the music with a dubby sensibility, bringing a necessary balance to the frequency range. making the most of their in-the-room recording approach, the singles will feature alternative takes of the songs that will appear on the album, providing a little insight into the flutters and fluctuations that shape the development of this project. with their eyes fixed on live performances and an arresting sound already formed, this is a vital time for all three artists and the people that listen to them.

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.

excellent hypnotic detroit classic !!! the looped voice sample is paris greys voice on >inner city - do ya<

david k represents something thats all too rare in electronic music today: an artist who makes music first and club music second. for him, emotion is paramount, melody is important, the pop format has its perks and original material is always better than a sample. late at night and early in the morning he dances alone in his studio, tapping away on his keyboards and throwing together arrangements on the fly (a pianist by training, he cant bear to make music slouched over a mouse). his only goal is to make something that will keep himself dancing.

deadbeat. tikiman. infinity. dub. a quadrangle of such obvious statement and perfect musical inference may very well never have been uttered for those of the wholly weeded out persuasion. indeed, when the great book of dub music is written the names scott monteith and paul st hilaire will undoubtedly figure highly in its chapters devoted to recent years. monteith, the last great prodigal son of the doctrine handed down from the blue mount of lord scratch and king tubby, st hilaire the undisputed voice of a generation, those fanatical warrior monks, followers of the most holy house of ernestus and von oswald incarnate.

our favourite swedish house duo is back…more dirty than ever! the follow-up to the previous eps moody & trapped is nothing short of brilliant. waisted with its plucked strings is classic deep house held together by a bumpy groove, soulful vocals & slick keyboard but still maintaining the formula that defines dirtytwo and their finest work to date. talking 2 u is where dirtytwo gets deep down and gritty. chunky house chords, a meaty bassline, cut-up voice samples in full basement effect. flip over for the hard on edit of talking 2 u which goes one step further adding some acid lines and a raw basement feeling. a dub for those who seek a more raw and heavier tool. local talk is talking to you!

vinyl only! first 200 with a4 (30*20cm) artprint from the streets of detroit made by the artist himself. vinyl runs from the inner side to the outer side like the old nsc cuts from back in the days. pure detroit house and techno.

dfa is proud to announce a new split single featuring both the juan maclean and shit robot. the single highlights the warped and wonky piano house both acts have become famous for. the juan maclean track features long time vocalist nancy whang (also of lcd soundsystem), who helps deliver yet another wildly catchy dance floor anthem, in line with prior collaborative successes “happy house” and “you are my destiny.” shit robot brings in famed stand up comedian (and closet soul vocalist) reggie watts whose incredible voice glides from falsetto to baritone in a single verse. the combination of the deep bass lines, wild voice and piano stabs weaving in and out make this one of the strongest and unique singles in the shit robot catalog. both shit robot & the juan maclean have full length albums due in 2014 on dfa records. limited to 500 stamped and numbered copies, includes digital download code.

cardiff massive giovanni branciamore and bradley albertides heard nicoles amazing sultry folky tones on the flowers of flesh & blood album and just had to work up some nip and bop to sit with her voice. nicole loved it and this is it! we are not too sure what to label this music under but tags of future nip hop ambient folk bop seem to be close. sarah burgess is a secret forest folky vocalist from york with a super soft ambient tone to her voice which was crying out for a touch of flyypost nip. luv*jams ambient alter ego flyypost slides out some wobbled out bass lines, floaty synths and a 68bpm raw kick drum all gliding on a bed of waves with sarahs stunning memories vocal. what style of music do we label this as? neo italo nip folk acid whop?

the mysterious duo strangers in heaven strike back on souvenir! after their first highly acclaimed release last year and their remix of souvenir bosses, tiefschwarz, the boys return with a strong two tracker. first track, set me free, is a deep groover which features jonny cruzs incredibly melodic voice. the same track gets a decidedly deeper once over from none other than, eric volta (ellum, visionquest). on the flip, the future is a miami bass vs. techno tune with some real old school house feeling injected into it, featuring the unmistakable voice of the wondrous navid izadi(wolf+lamb, soulclap).

pro-tez records compiled *the knights of the sad pattern - part 2*! a graceful sequel to the ravingly reviewed first part, this is a double vinyl limited edition of 300 presses, which presents the labels extended family to include fellow house contemporaries like john tejada, anton kubikov and alex danilov alongside with central members korablove, b-voice & anrilov, polar lights, joe le bon, doyeq, among others and also newcomers tornike & nini and harry light. it is one of the those must have releases showcasing an individual, beautifully composed sound, combining feathery piano keys, now and then soulful vocals and minimalist sax parts, with deeply padded, classically-informed house music, and a touch of acid elegance and a refined subtlety.

just one touch has been a long time coming but it emerges as a classic ode to house past and present. porto based producer social disco club was sat on the track for two years before miss bee added her dusky vocals. frayed and taught with emotion, her voice works in harmony with the gritty analogue sounds that drive the track.

new kanada enters the fall 2012 season with some dark angular acidic house. black and medleys >roll the dice< - featuring the voice of rosina – is an old-school blend of disco, ny house and classic toronto warehouse vibes. slightly acidic, with its bubbling juno bassline – and slightly techno with the driving, repetitive beat – this house track should rock the deepest of dancefloors. file somewhere between henry street and early adonis. 5am - no earlier. for the flipside, adam marshall sits down at the controls for a clinical, tight, stripped-down scrubbing, turning the original into a late-night fear edit. broken, diffused drums and lots of black empty space in this one. the lights go out – blackout.

now, a year after he celebrated the success of his lp good morning midnight, niko schwind ups the heat on stil vor talent with the versatile we are the future ep that showcases a specatacular sonic progression while remaining true to what niko does best: melodic house music. on all i want, niko lures you into a deep abyss aided by a straight groove and rapid vocal stutters until a swampy bassline, subtle piano melodies and a promiscuous female voice swallow you to the point of no return. beautifully melancholic, yet floorfriendly, this a1 is bound to leave its mark on international dance floors!
