black vinyl pressing.

massively anticipated debut album from ron morelli, founder/boss of acclaimed brooklyn label l.i.e.s. (resident advisor #1 label of the year 2012, amongst many other accolades), *spit* is the first in a trio of related releases from morelli due on hospital productions in the coming months. the album features 8 electronic variants, from house and industrial tape experiments to saturated metallic beat tracks. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy. there is so much that could be said about ron morelli, his l.i.e.s. label, or the fact that his debut album comes to you via hospital productions, but instead, here are some words from the man himself: i m a regular guy, enjoy a good steak, drinking beer, and occasionally a game of pro basketball, republican talk radio ... you know ... all the good stuff.

last year m.a.n.d.y. brought over their new release, twisted sister, 2 tracks - whereas the title track already received the full remix treatment via dj hell, uffe and more. this time we take the second track superstitious and give it a whirl. djedjotronic, chaim, and just be take their turn, and the results are amazing! be sure to pick this one up as soon as you can and keep a lookout for the very special edition vinyl coming soon to get physical music!

optimo trax is an offshoot label of optimo music for tracks aimed at djs/dancefloors. yes, we know there are too many record labels already, but we felt an overriding desire to start another one as so much music that didnt seem quite right for optimo music (i.e. music that was specifically designed for dancing) kept coming our way. like the parent label, optimo trax will release music by new artists and excavate forgotten classics. luma is a project by dave clark from glasgow. dave had his first release as a member of state of flux in 1993 on t&b vinyl, the label twitch ran with his dj partner of that era, brainstorm. twitch and dave have continued to work together in various ways ever since. he has released records as truffle club, and as big ned on optimo music as well as working with twitch from 2005 - 2010 remixing a plethora of artists under the optimo (espacio) moniker before fatherhood necessitated him focusing on changing nappies rather than programming synths. dave has also recorded under various aliases for r&s, numbers, stuffrecords, dissident and wireblock. the twentieth anniversary of that first release seemed a fitting date for dave to unleash his monster new club music alter ego, luma on optimo trax. twitch thinks dave is the best producer in scotland and endlessly weeps into his gin and tonics about how unprolific dave is, so was ecstatic when the 4 killer tracks were delivered that make up this third optimo trax ep. these have been thoroughly road tested over the last few months at gigs around the world.

this is the first release of mexican/canadian label departures records done by up-and-coming artist mike khayata. the ep features 2 original tracks and 2 remixes, shivers is a deep, slow but very dynamic track that reflects the artists thoughts on the immediacy of things these days. its chord progression drives the track and captures your attention from the moment it starts and makes for a very introspective listening experience not necessarily designed for the dance floors

toby tobias coming through with the fresh raw s**t for delusions! two original tracks here absolutely loaded full of old school analogue machine funk and crazy dub tricknology.

if there is one thing in this world that is certain, it is that things change. and in the life of one dance producer with a new release on sheffields shabby doll, there have been transitions aplenty. with a switch from garage to house, a move from doncaster to london, and a change of identity from ryan aitchison to mella dee, his spacious four- to-the-floor sound has emerged from a state of constant flux. and yet… the more things change, the more they stay the same. *things dont change* is the name of mella dees new shabby doll ep, and when you tune into the title tracks compulsive twitch, you can hear the echo of his south yorkshire antecedents coming through.

after three quality releases, woods n bass records vinyl-only series receives the labels mastermind merino, to deliver his first 12 on his own imprint. the colombian dj and producer presents four cuts of melodic but yet killer techno, and in which medula, the title track, offers you a space riff of detroit sounds that will fill any dancefloor, making it a great secret weapon for any dj to pull out at the right moment. better watch out for this one, south american techno at its best.

the kicks started as a collective of different musicians, electronic & instrumentalists, that gathered together under one roof just for the fun of it, coming together and jamming at their own expense. a jam is a jam. theres no aim, no target. it is free from expectations and just like that the tapes piled up with no specific style or genre lines. whatever happens, happens is pretty much the attitude that created a label, not out of necessity but out of convenience of being free to release the more outstanding cuts recorded, regardless of their personal definition. the first release is from the curators and creators of the project, maayan nidam & alex picone. the record starts with the psychedelic tone of alice in the desert, continues to a still hypnotic yet down to earth 020 and ends with the stabbing butt shaker think about it. the next releases will continue featuring picone & nidam, joined by cool cats like aquarius heaven, san proper & cesar merveille.

if chicago and detroit are the cities in which house and techno were born and raised, it was in italy circa 1990 that this delirious party music experienced a piano-driven coming of age. so far, so spangled. but while that may be the official story, there are other italian narratives too. take francois le roy and nanni for instance - two djs and producers from southern italy for whom, in the early nineties, the likes of aphex twin, autechre and air liquide were important, alongside the machine funk of detroit and the immersive soundtracks of the ambient generation. both artists are steeped in underground club music, and their new release on shabby doll records is a fine example of tough, tech-edged house. the *crossing roads* ep features four tracks that showcase their melodic yet relentless groove, they may be based in milan, but on this record, the influence of detroit, chicago and new york runs deep.

for his 31st release, minibar welcomes hamid into the roster. hailing from the south of france this exotic bird migrated to the cold and rainy londinium, where he refined his musical taste and skills. after a few diverse electronic adventures hamid fully embraced the philosophy of the stripped down beat. this new approach allowed him to continue expressing his romantic side with a renewed strength and character. we are happy to present you his latest coming into the club land, a deep, raw and elegant three-tracker that will instantly seduce you.
