strictly confidential: we write to you with alarming news about the extra-terrestrial specimen discovered in the forbidden forest in july 2017. this lifeform, code-name darling, escaped from the top-secret safe trip organisation holding facility late last night. all that was left inside the subject’s enclosure was a pressed polyvinyl disc containing two pieces of electronic music. the first, which we have titled when she hates me, sounds like a call to a distant mate or partner, composed at sunrise and shot through with blissful positivity. the other, now known as isle of red, combines surging drums with poignant and melancholic sounds that are clearly unearthly in origin.

in this oversharing era, uncommon is for an artist to choose to remain in total anonymity. even for the easytiiger teamwork, the real persona behind the model nice act is still a complete mistery – actually not a problem when the sound speaks for itself. the debut ep -nice to meet you- arrives with four raw dance burner gems, including a futuristic arp killer remix from the lemon-fanta guy, pépe, for the song -cravo amargo-. besides the rough-shaped aspect of the sound, this ep reveals a very sharp and sophisticated production, with complex element layer works that could perfectly fit as the soundtrack for a blade runner microcosm built inside of a night club. -nice to meet you- invites you to this journey through a particular soothing world, surrounded by a complex & confessional mood without saying... well, a single word.

as featured on movements vol.9, we thought it is well worth to re-release -when the well runs dry- on 45 too. even better, what you find here is a previously unreleased alternate take! listen to the first seconds of the b-side -a brighter day- and you know why this 45 should be in any djs box. essentiell re-release for the open minded dj who does not only play tracks which are in demand but just plain funky

it s always summer somewhere we believe. here s our latest release to make a dull day brighter roy s first ep for all day i dream has continued to create quiet moments of magic for us since last summer. straight out the gate comes -when we were innocent . it s one of those seemingly small tracks on headphones that when played out in the club it sneaks up on your dance floor when the bassline arrives. especially after the main drop. emotive with a tight groove it s a winner! -gutfeelin- has a whimsical mood to it. it s not going to be for everyone that s for sure but for those with an adventurous or more playful spirit it lingers long in the memory. a track constantly discussed on our socials and asked about it s definitely got it s own special vibe. -shadow of truth- walks the tightrope between breakbeat and 4:4. it s emotive journey wraps you in it s arms and gives you a warm hug. falling in love? here s today s soundtrack to accompany that beautiful feeling. closing out the ep is sudden realization . smooth, deep and linear. a warm slice of groovy house. best enjoyed with your eyes closed. we hope you love the ep as much as we do.

our fourth 12- vinyl release, again a full 4 track artist ep, comes from young dutchman cleanfield. relatively unknown at the start of this year, we listened to his demo s and signed them on the spot for a vinyl release. they are really that good, and fall into the same category as the output of fouk, nachtbraker, and more..... while waiting on the production of this release he s made quite the entry as newcomer on the deephouse, nu-disco scene with a first digital release on delve deeper, that s still doing really well in the charts. we re really excited to release these super funky, groovy tracks on beautiful black wax.

as spring casts its glow over the barren and fissured valley, the whiskered sciurine known as rvs can be seen emerging cautiously from its burrow opening, out into the crisp hillside breeze. revitalised from her slumber, she lets out an abrupt and shrill chirp that seems to declare all at once, -it s party time and boy do i have a corker for you-, one that reverberates across the landscape permeating every bush, branch, pasture and crag, where lifeforms large and small may otherwise be spotted scuttling in their daily forage. the other beasts awaken, and realise that it is time . with some dexterity and slight of paw, the rvs rodent produces a shiny black disc from the folds of her fur and flings it high into the heights of valley, exploding into a rainbow bursting with every emoticon known to the internet, thereupon thundering the sounds of asadinho s when we come to it across the streams and tree-lines. commencing with the silverlining remix, then the original, then the track titled koppaitch, each member of the wildlife community remains hypnotised with this incomparable detonation of sparkle, rhythm, and the poetics of the mighty maya angelou. as the display descends into the foliage and dissolves away, the rvs scriurine pauses to compose herself then retreats to her work cave to get working on the next of these black discs and the wildlife convention she calls the rvs weekender.

tutti hill’s ‘when the going gets rough’ was listed on the label of her arock single in 1964 but the record actually played ‘whoa whoa, baby take it slow’. at last this gorgeous mid-tempo dancer from ron miller and lee porter makes it to 45. the flip is a piano and voice demo from the same stable but garrett saunders’ magnificent baritone makes the song a must-have. what a pity he did not record more.

death on the balcony s ‘tides of fortune has been the subject of relentless -track id- requests pleading us to reveal the name of the artist and track since be-at-tv streamed the bpm performance of lee burridge and matthew dekay back in 2015. joined on the ep by three other tracks there s a cohesive feel to the two friends vibe. mysterious melodies drift in and out of the hypnotic grooves on rivers of sound that could have soundtracked a star trek episode from the original series. 1700 miles is delicate and deep with a simple infectious vocal sample. don t be deceived though. when played on a club system the kick drum and bassline draw you in while the atmospheric elements send the listener to otherworldly places. we feel rather privileged as this track is mark’s first solo outing from dotb under his new moniker “caramelli” and dotbs first full length on all day i dream. mark’s back in the band for memories of the future which completes the release with its funky bass and trippy ambience. close your eyes and be transported.

over the course of four albums, manchester based trumpeter, composer, arranger and band-leader matthew halsall has carved out a niche for himself on the uk music scene as one of it s brightest talents. his languid, soulful music has won friends from jamie cullum and gilles peterson to jazz fm and mojo as well as an ever-growing international following. his label gondwana records is home to gogo penguin and his own albums have found halsall exploring the modal jazz of john and alice coltrane, paying tribute to the hard bop of the late ’50s and early ’60s or most recently on fletcher moss park drawing on eastern influences in his most personal statement yet. his latest album when the world was one is something of a companion piece to fletcher moss park (much of the music was written at the same time) but draws more explicitly on halsall’s love of spiritual jazz and eastern music as well as his own studies in meditation and travels in japan. beautifully recorded at hasall’s favourite studio, 80 hertz in manchester, and engineered by brendan williams and george atkins it features the recording debut of halsall’s large ensemble, the gondwana orchestra, which utilises the exotic flavours of harp, koto and bansuri flute and eastern scales to create a global palate for halsall’s life-affirming sounds.
