inspired in the past but rearranged in the future.this reference on drivecom is a tribute for all those sequential electronic music and synth pioneers mainly coming from the 70s. most of the tracks were recorded on the fly playing synths and keyboards in live mode specially for this production... and here we present aeon.

first in is a beat heavy analogue chug rework of the rare and weird italo 7 inch *i am your master* by the mysterious italo connoisseur savino dj and dj peet need based in holland. the arpeggiating bass line digs a circular trench that gets deeper as the track marches on until you end up stuck on an island with a strange creepy midget man. music that blurs the line between disco dreams and nightmares starion is back for more on ep2. how will he make a heavier track than ep1s *another dimension*? by making *darkstar*. analogue manctalo chug at its finest. big bass line, big synth chords, big vocoder action. you couldnt get more dark disco electronic if you went clubbing with daleks and the cybermen were djing.

as we are beset by the darkest of seasons, let sequencias provide a score to fit the mood. presented in two parts, *hybrid furrows* marks the second transmission of the mysterious healing force project from treviso, italy. the first part is a dense, introspective overture. a ceaseless minor key drone lays the path for deep thrumming gong-like pulse and shuddering percussive textures. a song without a coda, a dream without resolution, it simply dissipates like fog—never revealing it’s center. the second part is similarly monolithic in nature, but crafted more for movement than meditation. it is vicious arpeggiated psychedelia, sharp enough to cut into the deepest recesses of your psyche. both tracks were recorded live in one take. vinyl only.

this special release is the first collaboration between legotek founder nir ivenizki and the newest family member oliver gehrmann and is dedicated to our real analog music world. like the name of this record reveals, those 2 tracks were created with the love to roland, korg and nord instruments.

the green series is the continuing art and music project from bleep.com, giveupart, and photographer shaun bloodworth. the project will be a series of tracks exploring techno music released on limited 12 inch with deluxe art prints as well as on digital formats. the double a-side single features the pairing of objekt and cosmin trg and brings you raw techno. both tracks were mastered by rashad at dubplates and mastering, berlin.

a unique collaborative project by visual artist charlie white and musician / producer boom bip, pressed on white vinyl. together the pair have created an ep of dance tracks based on in-depth interviews of teenage girls with accompanying photographic images. the magical, yet sometimes uncomfortable results are now made available on a very limited edition 12 inch. each of the 5 tracks captures the essence of a different teenager, from the privileged and popular georgia musing on the importance of being liked, to the sultry and complicated isabelle recalling her melancholy crushes of freshman year. the original interviews were painstakingly edited and set against the pin-sharp boom bip productions they inspired, whilst the visual element was born out of whites intensive photographic study of a teenage girl living in the isolated suburbs of southern california. white generated around 11k images over 2 years and has selected 12 for *music for sleeping children*. in addition to the 5 original tracks this package includes 5 instrumentals exclusive to this vinyl format. grab this while you can!

label boss, dj spider links up with analog guru, phil moffa! these two analog junkies have put together a crushing 4 track split effort. the first 3 tracks are strictly for the dance floor and the last one is a deep, mental piece! they each delivered one track each and two tracks were done together. warm analog drums with pure synth soundscapes are on display here from beginning to end. a must have for all true, underground soldiers who support new york techno!

just when you thought you knew what you were going to get from flashmob they switch it up completely, stamping their mark of quality and proving their versatility as producers they turn in an old school acid house stomp. dark, rumbling bass, spoken female vocal, and complimentary 303 acid squelches make both the garage mix and panorama mix equally at home in a field around the m25 circa 88 as it does on the floor at dc10 in 2013. watch out. acid house is back!

the second release from unknown is a vinyl only release ... busy working on an album the four tracks here are part of his #001-#010 series that heralded his existence on youtube. aside from remixes .. this is the only unknown material that will be available until a new ep and album in the spring and later part of the year .. these tracks were not due for release but he has received a large number of mails enquiring about a release date for them so here is the limited vinyl .

it seems like ages since we last had roberto rodriguez on the label with his excellent be somebody back in 2008, so were plenty happy to welcome him back for a long overdue follow up.

rummage in some boxes of my favourite record store i found a cover that made me curious. l kubic & tagträumer² - the only thing in this world and on the flipside a remix by alle farben. when placing the needle at the beginning of the vinyl the first sounds were very strange. i thought that must be a record from the 60s lost in the tech-house box but than a straight beat turned everything different. a piano melody slowly sat down firmly in my ear and i was longing to know where the journey takes me. after a while an acidline pushed everything and i was sure at this time this is not a normal 4/4 tech-house record. alle farben remixed the themes very playful and i heard that he gives the elements more pressure for the club. so at the end i bought this one and i cannot imagine taking this unique record ever again out of my record case.

august darnells swaggering alter ego kid creole dons his famed fedora and gets back in stride with his first high profile studio album in over 10 years this summer, i wake up screaming. darnell first came to prominence during the mid-70s in new york, forming dr. buzzards original savannah band with his brother stony browder before producing a slew of eccentric projects for ze records including cristina, don armandos seventh avenue rumba band and gichy dan, as well as sporting his trademark zoot suit and fedora for the first time for the debut recordings by kid creole & the coconuts.

when discotheque the volcano was torn down in the hague this year, the bricks and mortar were ground down to a fine powder. in a completely revolutionary process the powder was distilled and filtered by boffins and local music producers to manufacture the music you find on this record. even more surprisingly maybe is that it turns out that the same powder can be both inhaled and injected. i ve just had a bit actually and its not bad. post-post sewer tracks far beyond your wildest imagination.

black tekno emerges from the undercurrent of chicago with its first release, an acid infused, floor jacking four track ep from noleian reusse entitled *second language*. the songs here are aimed at the dancer, ranging from emotional sci fi to straight up party jams. all tracks were recorded live - hands on the keys, knobs and faders of noleian’s analog hardware setup.

sometimes your creating a declaration of love - automatically. beatamines composed many of those lines for extraordinary, dancing people, for electronic music and the possibility to express himself with tracks like >i said< or >something soul<. his tracks were released on mbf (traumschallplatten), damm records, keno and on his mother-label mangue records. but beatamines does not only work as a solo producer, he also releases tracks with his mate david jach - each number got a place in the charts .he is packing the emotions of a summer love into it, underlined with fat baselines, pregnant claps and magic melodies. we welcome beatamines as new bondage-music member. his first ep on bondage-music comes with the track >tonite< incl. remix from dachshund (highgrade) and the track >wknd< incl. remix from channel x (stil vor talent). early support from mihai popoviciu, pimont, patrick kunkel, tom novy, sis, benno blome, david keno, kiki, anderson noise, sven vaeth, pawas, sasha, acid pauli, robert owens, heartik, aruba, affkt, patrick zigon, someone else, oliver schories

the first track is reminiscent of a military drum ritual dating back to the middle ages in which drums were used to create a melody that would call the soldiers on their feet at dawn. the second original track is a destroyer with intermittent drum patters and analogue bass lines that will leave nothing unaltered. conrad van ortons takes us deep into the eery world that lies beneath us. patrick kriegers interpretation is a magical dance floor track with eminent eloquence.
support from electric indigo, giorgio gigli, dvs1, inigo kennedy, tea, henning baer, nx1, perc, deepbass, ness, max_m, exium, korova, nax_acid, angel costa, mark morris, anderson noise, emanuele pertoldi, azterisco, mattias fridell, mike wall, d. carbone, roberto figus, adriana lopez, mtd, urbano, tracy, vsk, future 16, analogue people ...

crazy p return with the final remixes from the when we on album. these three remixes were the exclusive new mixes on the recent digital only remix album, but its only fair that remixes of this quality come out on wax.

knox is the band brainchild of brother-sister duo nic and eliza coolidge. hailing from boston and new york, the siblings released their second ep, here, on december 3rd, and it is a big step forward for the band. formed less than two years ago, in march 2011, knox finds themselves working with the likes of john tejada and kuxxan suum on this release, and the outcome is stunning. here is five-song set full of ice and echoes. it runs as close to the third rail of impersonation, but flies away so quickly that knox sounds contextual and perfectly fresh. the influences from james blake is clear: the swooping, bomber bass and half-timey compressed dub beats, here could also easily be an inventive b-side to the latest how to dress well album. but, with the limited scale, interspersed remixes and foundling status in the scene, i would say it is likely a more impressive feat. the ep as a whole is desolate. expansive spaces filled with cold little beats and vocal washes, exploring in the course of five songs an icescape aesthetic with a sense of place usually reserved for full-length albums. the remixes blend so seamlessly that i didnt even realize they were during my first, casual listen.

the third u-ton release enters the merry world of post-disco and proto-house, mirror ball fantasies, baby powder dreams and rays of sunshine. manhooker are guiddo (music) and mavin (vocals) who were brought to the attention of ostgut ton by nd_baumecker. wheels in motion and club anonymous both got the club remix treatment by rotciv (the rimshooters, mister mistery) who delivers clever and respectful dance floor adaptations without destroying their peppy pop appeal.

vinyl only release! after norm talleys massive release, were proud to welcome a bunch of newcomers. quality shit for your ears!

boogie nite debuts on glenview records after his fantastic 12&#8243,, “earth to mickey” on lumberjacks in hell a few months back. these four original tracks, “shine , “gotta alot of static , “the happy song” and “runnin” were all recorded at boogie nite urban legendz studio in chicago.

basswalkers! calling all basswalkers to the isolated system. it is time, time for round two. hope you like yours nice n ravey because aÑas & 785s taking us way way back with this one. please keep your arms and legs inside the time capsule. and strap in, its gonna be a 90s sorta ride. you may remember our last session with henning baer, norman nodge and musk? it turned into a bit of a showdown, with all sorts of basswalks proliferating the floor. well, now its aÑas & 785s turn to take the lead. some of you are new here, so were easing you in gently with break even first. dont be scared, this is a harmless sort of menace—its bark is far worse than its bite. besides, wait til you hear the breakdown. wooh. now youre all warmed up, let it all go with let it go. really, no holds barred please. trust, you will enjoy it all the more. you can collect your things at the end.

in the country mario & vidis come from cover version is a little bit of a curse word and arouses serious suspicions whenever mentioned. even the biggest pop names do half of their gigs and have half of their income just performing well-known songs and impersonating well-known international artists. but when the vocals of bon ivers >re: stacks< recorded by up and coming british singer songwriter james barbarossa mathe were sent their way they didnt have a slightest doubt. not an obvious track selection and a really unique vocal treatment inspired them for a cover version of a different kind. as yet another proof of superior quality the release comes with a remix from Âme. vinyl only and limited to 300 copies this one is a little bit special.

domenico writes and co-writes all the songs, sings, plays guitar and designs the rhythmically adventurous soundscapes heard on cine prive. with the help of old (pedro sa, alberto continentino, moreno veloso, kassin, and adriana calcanhotto) and newer (money mark, darin gray & glenn kotche of duo on fillmore) friends and musical collaborators the songs were recorded live in the studio with most tracks calling on no more than three musicians at a time.

ltd 2013 repress
with > trust< audio werner discovers the taiko drum for your rolling pleasure. if you ever thought that the usage of this tribal-esque element couldnt lead to any satisfying results, were here to convince you of the opposite. its nothing less than ethno bretting at its best! on the flip we re getting crisp n crazy with >shiers<. bewitching the crowd with sounds around the bottle, audio knirps and zwunkts strange frequencies and weird grooves out of your speakers

carrying messages of extraterrestrial, tropical madness from planet klajnak, the frikstailers (pronounced freak stylers) have been chosen to deliver the funk. manned by the multi-rhythmic madmen rafa caivano and lisandro sona, frikstailers were tele-abducted by an advanced civilization from the planet klajnak, and are forced to transmit their electronic messages to earth.

luc who? marianni? this reclusive french composer paved the underground music history with a handful of mind-blowing lps but still managed to surprisingly fall under the radar. even the experts seem to have forgotten about him when there were clues all over the place! it is true luc marianni didnt belong to no family but his own, with his constant work-in-progress through the gathering of friends and the odd random musical chance meeting.
it is therefore with great pleasure that we offer for the first time in decades the scarce remaining stock of original copies from his first and last vinyls, hoping to turn some heads along the release of the remix ep on ddd records: ddd-lmr-t01 with remixes of jared wlison (detroit), dam mantle (glasgow) and nukubus (rotterdam).

next round for chymeras >death by misadventure< interpretations. this time, both remixes were made for >an island in space<, definitely one of the highlight tracks of the album. on side a, uncanny valleys jacob korn, who just released his debut longplayer >you&me<, turns the tune into an intoxicating hymn somewhere between house and techno. catchy, and with a wonderfully positive atmosphere, the track is pure bliss. on the b, dutch techno veteran orlando voorn delivers a piece of properly driving melodic techno. several melodies entangle to one big sound collage. there is no real beginning or end, like a neverending jam. a very unique track and so much more than a useful tool...

newly mastered and cut on 45 rpm, knuggles recordings issues two kicking club tracks by netto houz from their album >room 7101<. >noctambulism< and >rossis records< were recorded in 1997 under the strong influence and in deep adoration of the music released by the great chicago house labels of that time. vinyl only, limited to 200 copies.

razor rekta has proved to be a serious addition to the chestplate team, bringing a new dimension with his unruly, dread-inducing signature sound. the london-based producer has a hefty collection of fresh dubplates ready to cause damage, and a couple of killer beats were dropped on his debut chestplate record, >loko-motiv< and >development<. this december sees more heat-tempered firepower released on 12 inch, with the speaker stack-rupturing >bang ya door< on the a-side, and no-nonsense brute force of >kickstart< on the flip.

the verwunschen ep got influenced by many deep house music, tech house, but also by electronic underground music, which was not made for the club. a mixture of this and organic instruments, which are typical for his music, made the music warm and melancholic, but the cutted vocals brought a little clubby atmosphere in the track. in the bonus track >bosporus< you hear the influence of berlin tech house music. trumpets were very popular at that time in berlin. the track was only made for the club. remixes from marlon hoffstadt and matthias kick were organised, who did their own interpretation and showed some other sides of the song.

in their own words, like a radio-controlled mechanical, electro-mechanical and multifunctional musical instrument, berliner ring build up relentless and relentlessly different grooves in a characteristically non-direct way. as if playing around without focus they layer their tracks and slowly position them into form. the tracks featured here were originally released on cd on the art yard label. melodies are fragmented, often even sparse, the groove never stops, but does so with intervals and while changing focus. berliner ring references similar bands in the krautrock and post-rock genre, but it s subtlety, the originality of their self-built instruments and their songs that shift from downright groovy to more atmospheric explorations of ambience and texture guarantee them a unique voice and perspective. essential stuff.

bring u up originally appeared on romans blackmale label in 1995 as a rumbling slice of new jersey garage complete with gospel samples and romanthony collaborator the trojan horse. it was a bit of a cult favourite with underground heads like dj deep. it wasnt until roman completely re-produced and re-sang the song in 2000 that it fully took on anthem status. out went the heavy kicks and hypnotic moods and in came james brown horn stabs and a live beat that sounded like bernard purdie had joined him for the session (the drums were actually provided by roman himself). the result was an instant club hit with everyone from pete tong to francois kevorkian that reached (a very respectable 74) in the uk national charts. on this 12 inch deetrons takes the funk vibe of romans 2000 version and toughens it up for todays dancefloors, lee webster adds a monster baseline and some serious beats. on the flip-side the original blackmale version is re-issued on vinyl for the first time as is an unreleased dj friendly edit of the 2000 version done by kevin mckay.

known for his releases on hamilton dance and on the prowl party breaks, marcos cabral comes from brooklyn, new york, and needs no introduction for the house music lovers... after been fascinated with his work, we decided to approach marcos to try to join him on our new project, a harmless deed, because we thought it was exactly the type of artist and music we were looking for and when we recieved the demo we were not let down at all. land of tar ep is a mixture of oldschool sounds with a modern and personal point of view. on the a side we can find > pitch lake<, our favourite track on the package. already tested and probed to be working perfectly on the dancefloor, it yet has a deep, weird and beautiful touch. b side is more classic chicago influenced, on the old mr fingers type, 707, synthy melodies, pads and strings...

following up his well-received 12inch >deep deep down< on aus in late 2011, cottam re-emerges with another striking two-tracker for the label. originally breaking onto the scene in 2009 via a series of anonymous 12inches — three of which were named in phonicas top 50 singles — he eventually unveiled himself as the humble newcomer paul cottam.

after all efforts were put into jacob korns debut album during summer 2012 uncanny valley strikes back with namesake jacob stoy and his very first solo ep after his s51 for the uv010-compilation. everything starts with redensart, a sunny piece of music with a sneaky bassline and easy synth pads that come across like a warm rain shower: its house in the end but feels like so much more. hauswart is an impressive example of how one can create a whole atmosphere of sound within two minutes. its short but feels so comfortable that you really like it to go on and on forever. start is maybe the most conventional deep house track on the ep and seduces with catchy synth chords and thrilling drums. finally gegenwart brings things to a jazzy end with tipsy synths and tripping percussions. the artwork comes from none other than jacobs father olaf stoy, who is a painter, lyricist and porcelain designer still working in jacobs hometown rabenau near dresden.

two previously unreleased mixes of >tonite< by aaron fit siegel, with vocals by lrenee. the o.g. mix is a version fit started working on to be a dub version of >tonite - original mix<, but morphed into something a bit more epic, and due to time constraints could not make it on the initial release. the d.d. version, is based on the original demo track fit wrote before any vocals were recorded, then edited and dubbed out by omar-s. if you liked the original release on fxhe, be sure to have this one as well and if you dont have the original release then you better get that one too!
