after a few nice but largely unnoticed 12s for lower-profile labels, duererstuben is ready to make a serious maneuver, and pampa is pleased to provide them with the proper platform. the sheets of rane ep is the berliner duos most sophisticated statement yet, imbuing cold programmed sounds with a glowing human touch and a penchant for melody.

GOOD MORNING, MR. ZHAK (GREEN MARBLED, VINYL ONLY)
Coloured 12 Inch 24.06.13
good morning, mr. zhak!, said yuri somewhat officiously to his friend and they laughed out loud ... hence yuri appeared fairly crazy idea to write a release and dedicate it to a friend eugene (zhak).so the first release and the lead track good morning, mr. zhak is a picture displaying the story began of the day, eugene (zhak) morning. stormy morning rush, people on the street, the fresh morning air, the morning sun - this is not all that you hear and feel in this release. magical symbiosis of all this does not make you bored!

based on a discography that stretches back to 2006, dachshund has long been one of the leading figures in switzerland’s electronic music scene. initially making his appearance in 2006 on num records, he quickly struck up a lasting relationship with co-chief quenum, the two remain collaborators to this day both as studio partners and co-curators of the clapper imprint. dachshund has since released on many storied dance labels: ilian tape, harthouse mannheim, perspectiv, contexterrior, and frequent home highgrade records. such a pedigree alone justifies his peers respect, and caduceus records is proud to present the yellowstone ep, featuring remixes from gerome sportelli, arttu, and lad.
877 records join with longtime friends and collaborators to present the well rounded rebel alliance ep. klic and riskotheque lead the way with their track compton, a bass heavy anthem already rocking the clubs and doing damage on radio. stomping 808′,,,,,s, sing along vocals and acid arpeggios join perfectly to form this instant classic. donga & blake more than do justice to the original with the compton give a dam jam remix. a perfect example of their sublimely considered approach, the reworking is an altogether deeper four to the floor roller using only finely selected elements from the original. well rounded in the house! next up is skeleton grin by donga & blake + richta. this original composition features vocals by donga over an intense and metallic techno-esque bass and kick. we are true believers in the power of a b-side and this is no exception.
a surreal spark of darkness slowly awakens a monstrous tune that becomes more radical by the second. with soundscapes taking serious shapes, the emotion actually comes from deep within: pointing out to infinity. desolate is a hazardous mixture of sick, twisted growls taking extremely unique forms, sub-driven resonating basslines and spacious soundscapes, which bound you to darkness instantly. as the intriguing second part of desolate flows through the mind and soul, no listener is left unharmed as it sweeps you away from reality. with further developed harsh, sharp percussive elements and frightening samples to accentuate this cold production, desolation will become a step closer each and every time you lose control.

mushrooms project are the kings of the mid tempo and they do deep, druggy, chunky, sometimes more balearic, sometimes just more freaky music better than anyone else. check! their approach is hallucinating and all encompassing and is made up of the analogue sounds of guitar, bass, synth and percussive layers to create a dirty but unique background. their new undergrass album is a melting pot of all their influences and is a straight up journey through the mesmerizing and unusual minds of the mushrooms. undergrass is released on gatefold double vinyl with a bonus 10 inch featuring remixes of 16823 by brennan green and mudd. brennan takes his mix into the electro boogie sounds of an 80s new york while mudd brings out the guitar, layering up his own production with equally devastating effect.
hypnotischer tiefgang kann auch hell und freundlich sein, wie marcus sur einmal mehr unter beweis stellt. die melodiöse eingängigkeit seiner produktionen schwingt irgendwo zwischen deep house und dub techno, wobei er das beste aus beiden welten mit organischer eleganz verwebt und mit seiner ganz eigenen note versieht. da ist das stimulierende pochen und entrückte klingeln von the world in small doses. da ist die hintergründige dramatik und perfide vielschichtigkeit von masquerade. da ist die verträumte stimme von ann jasmund, die sich über den warmen wogen eines wabernderen klangteppichs ausbreitet. und da ist der verspielte basslauf von magnetic ribbons, dessen schwerelose synthesizer- und piano-zitate mollono.bass zwischen die perkussiven rhythmen seines wundersamen frequenz-universums entführt
mit dem debütalbum landeten austra 2010 einen Überraschungshit, der sich eher von hinten durch die brust ins auge, denn mit einem knall ins bewußtsein der nation gegraben hat. kaum einer, der diesen ohrwurm nicht schon irgendwo gehört hat und nicht mehr losgeworden ist: dont wanna lose you, dont wanna lose ...
der spiegel schrieb sehr treffend: dieses lied kennt kein entkommen. es ist bekloppt, nervtötend und großartig. wer es einmal im kopf hat, bekommt es tagelang nicht mehr heraus.
der nachfolger ist ein durchgängig sehr gelungenes album geworden, auf dem sich katie stelmanis als herausragende songwriterin zeigt, die einen muskalischen quantensprung gemacht hat. olympia ist ein musikalisch reifes und abwechlungsreiches werk, welches es spielend schafft electro-, pop-, wave- und indie-fans gleichermaßen zu begeistern.

tallmens music is for long, sleepless nights in which the musics religious adherence to 4 on the floor demands dedicated raving. this unification of the old and the new, the rough and the refined is what brings the overwhelming sense of direction and energy in tallmens productions. in three words.. just.raw.beats.
bill youngman has been around for almost 20 years with releases on legendary labels like serotonin, scandinavia and tresor. he crossed many styles from melodic electro to really, really harsh techno, but recently he seems to have found his very own personal style. the music he released on killekill in the last two years show a very singular approach to techno and electro. percussive, deep, melodic, toolish – all at the same time.
andres zaccos very own greener imprint is back with a brand new 12 inch release. as you can already tell from the labels frequency in output (the last 12 inch, andres zacco & franco cinellis the secret mission ep came out in may 2011), greener places its primary focus on quality, not quantity. for this fourth outing, greener is glad to welcome j.c. – a young, up-andcoming producer from madrid, who presents here his personal take on techno. both titles on the m-theory ep put forward a fine mixture of unyielding, grounding rhythmic structures and mesmerizing synths, building into grand momentums.
der vorabtrack made to stray aus dem neuen album cold spring fault less youth schlug in der weltweiten trendszene ein wie der blitz: von pitchfork bis nme, von fact bis resident advisor überschlugen sich die aufgeregten lobeshymnen zum ersten neuen mount kimbie material seit zwei jahren. das visionäre duo, seit seinem debüt als neue vordenker in sachen elektronischer musik anerkannt, hat die schwammige schublade des post-dubstep endgültig verlassen und entflieht mit live-instrumentierung, warmen keyboardsounds und geerdeten schlagzeugbeats der enge des dance/electro-kontextes. auch die verpflichtung des enigmatischen vokalisten king krule dürfte ihren anteil daran haben. die elf neuen mount kimbie tracks wirken reifer, selbstbewusster und noch mutiger, und ihr wechsel zu warp wird ihre entwicklung hin zu noch ganz anderen klanggefilden, kontexten und konstellationen weiter beflügeln.

after first meeting stef smith aka lakosa at a birmingham warehouse rave back in 2010, the 2nd drop camp have been keeping an eye on this burgeoning talent, especially as he has popped music out on kerri chandlers madtech imprint among others. co-producer rick grant is 1/3 of take records and with releases on george fitzgeralds manmakemusic label, another key talent making moves this year. and despite having never met each other (they communicate via email and bass frequencies), it seems that when they collaborate the magic happens.

illusion recordings is bringing an absolute stomper from the appropriately titled ny stomp with a track called >the ny house track<. a massive track inspired by new york, jersey house music and designed to get every party rocking! ny stomp is a special project by gerd (clone/4lux) who made this track to add to his live set with no intention to release it. it was just a cut made for his live sets and done as an hommage to the early days of ny and nj house. however after playing this at a party from the illusion guys in leeds he got tortured by the guys to make him release it... and lets be honest... it would have been a shame if these cuts never made it to vinyl! one the flip side a slightly more introvert track calles >can you feel it<. on remix duty its nicholas and dj aakmael both doing an excellent job by smoothening things up and take things a bit deeper. proper house music!

a heavy lead rhythm provides the foundation from which spiralling elements project. they coruscate, pulse with light and collapse inwards, until just the echoes of dub2 are left. rising from these depths, the sharpness of distribution theorys crisp hi-hats and snapping claps provide forward momentum to a series of stabs. the house element.
beginning as a mystery but ending as a certainty, the ethereal theme that opens untitled document gives way as it increases velocity, shaking and rattling under the strain. the apex. hands reach, seeking, the elusive moment has already passed, all left is pure. bliss. circumflex kicks hard, a final statement of intent. powerful. corrosive. this is late night techno, played over a system on which the squelching acid-lines converge within the mind. the body jacks.

music pieces by the cruising duo are not that easy to identify, both style- and time-wise. funky vibes of the 1970s and 1980s are generously mixed with techno sound and peppered with unconventional live instruments, vocals, and flirting with rock. throw in ambitions of new genre creators, and you get a fantastic creature, a techno-funky-rock unicorn.
a refreshing deep house tune, upholding the basics of the genre, yet enhancing them and experimenting in various ways, a rare sight for younger artists. sweet bass line, nice non-tiring kicks, ambient sounds and low vocals sounding like subliminal rites, producing a sensual result that should satisfy the demanding deep house listener. remarkable rise and drop of intensity during different parts of the track, mid voices spanning across a few measures to enrich the different parts, and many other little touches, make the track sound refreshing even after many hearings.
with the name of his new ep, ruede hagelstein sticks to the maritime visual theme of his recent watergate 13 compilation. the parrotfish is a colourful thalassian, who is as much skilled at submerging in mystical depths as ruedes light-footed producer-style. the grooves on the first side are filled with a collaboration between hagelstein and emerson todd.
