fast hätte es an dieser stelle keinen neuen release von ki records zu verkünden gegeben, denn die beiden jungs hinter colo, nick smith und ben corr, haben mal eben so in der hochphase der albumproduktion ihren laptop verschusselt. backups? fehlanzeige! da war der debütlangspieler schon fast fertig: zehn tracks mit 150 bis 200 audiospuren – viele stunden feinsten bastelns und schraubens, einfach weg. zum glück ist nicht die ganze welt schlecht und so manch ein finder ehrlich und das gerät gelangte unbeschädigt in die hände der besitzer zurück und das erstlingsalbum *ur* doch noch in die pressung und in den katalog von ki. der name des albums ist ein wortspiel und verweist nicht etwa auf undergroud resistance, sondern auf das englisch wort colo-ur.

this is the year of peder mannerfelts rebirth. after seven years he has laid the subliminal kid to rest. with this new 12 inch, the chains have been locked in and the road map has been obliterated. ep1 is focused like a laser etching out intricate patterns in massive, humming machines. mannerfelts ideas have been reduced to a razors edge and he balances these freeform compositions like a master.
this ep could be seen as a prelude to peder mannerfelts debut album under his own name that will be released by digitalis industries in february and at the same time is the first part in a ongoing series of self released records by mannerfelt.

affi is a glasgow based producer, dj and resident at the cult sunday circus, a collective infamous for throwing their long-lasting, day-after-the-night-before affairs. he regularly makes his presence felt at the most credible club nights and parties in and around the labels home town. as with the imprint he breaks ground for, koman has been making music for the last ten years with two previous releases already to his name. drawing inspiration from hawtins de9 - closer to the edit work with regard to the deconstruction of previous productions, the reassembling of intriguing new forms dominates his modus operandi and leads to this latest offering. the champagne breakfast ep puts forward the titular track on the a-side, ably abetted by in love and its dub remix love dub on the flip. an uplifting track which keeps on giving, the new release has already been subjected to test runs in the critical environs of a packed sub club and has proved worthy of the plaudits so far received.

the name sabota comes from the infamous area in nelson bc, where kids congregate late at night to smoke weed, hook up and watch the sun come up. both max ulis and robbie slade (of humans) both have (if somewhat indirect) roots in the area, making it a fitting concept for their collaboration. with the release of next time on discobelle, sabota immediately caught the attention of journalists and fans alike, and before any kind of formal release they have played sxsw, sled island in calgary, vancouver international jazz festival with nosaj thing, and symbiosis gathering. the two full-time music collaborators have been making ethereal goodness.

for its first release of 2014, sammy dees ultrastretch label has called upon monsieur georget. youre forgiven if the name is unfamiliar. his bio offers few clues—he likes his bicycle, vin rouge and analog hardware, the latter of which was apparent on his recent debut for le loup and seuils hold youth label. bold and auspicious, the ep may have left you wondering if it was something more than a first record. and as it turns out, monsieur georget is none other than chris carrier, the long-active french purveyor of hypnotically minimal house.luckily we werent left waiting for very long for more material from carriers new alias. his second release, le vicieu / colle de la bonette, shows that monsieur georget and monsieur dee share an affinity for pared down, wonderfully elastic club tracks. like carriers best work, the compositions themselves are minimalist, but their hardware-based sound pallet ensures theres plenty of meat on the bones. a-side le vicieu is a subtly melodic shuffler, where deep bass growls at the core of an expansive drum set and whispers suffuse the negative space with mystery. on the flipside, colle de la bonette takes the sound someplace stranger and more psychedelic. whatever weird place were whisked off to, though, its every bit as funky, with brittle drums undulating to the kicks deliciously irregular throb. >monsieur georget< might be a brand-new name, but we’re willing to wager you ll quickly get to know these rollers well.

the first 12 release of our new belgian record label >sauve le monde<!this va represents our love for house music in a broad way. slm001 features tracks of overture, kid mark, sjef wanders and a very special artist who dropped by and forgot to tell us all his name.. we believe in endless music and we trust in vinyl.

both children of the illustrious nightlife of trend capital zurich, adrian flavor and samy jackson - better know as animal trainer - made a name for themselves with their rakete parties, held mostly at their home base, the chic hive club. as dedicated music lovers and passionate entertainers, it was a natural progression for the duo to channel their constant appetite for music and endless parties into their own sounds.

pascal blanché, wojtek kutschke and vocalist lukas polocze – better known as chasing kurt –originally released this track on their album of the same name. now * from the inside* has been given the remix treatment by some of worlds most respected house producers. first up is legendary german artist henrik schwarz, who has a knack for making every one of his productions as exciting as the next. his rendition of * from the inside* is no anomaly as he demonstrates his sublime approach to music making by using analogue bass stabs and violin bowing before floating atmospheric synths emerge to take centre stage. konstantin sibolds mix is a completely different beast altogether, using denser kick drums and haunting claps as the bed for reverberating vocals and a bouncy hook

for every producer the first album is a big thing and filled with lots of emotions and love. finally after two years of work, after their last single sugar - cocina india with a straight pumpin sweet n candy remix, lepetris album >acoustic signs< comes out on wanted beatz with full of natural sounds. inspired by his impressions, lepetri speaks in his tracks from minimal to techno about his experiences and places, such as the album name implies, an acoustic sign in the musical underground culture without losing the sense of club music. so it was important for him to bring his experience and adventures in form musical expression. from rocking beats up to melodious strings, each turntable can be served in the club. a club album which fits to each phase of a party. therefore, the first vinyl goes more towards house and the second vinyl contains more techno elements. check it out and enjoy!

d carbone returns to the prruk imprint with a strong 12 called acid futurism. the name says it all. fresh acid sounds without going too retro. psych techno sound with strong syncopated rhythms. something for the more intense dancefloor moments, a definite bomb.

the first vinyl record from betagamma bears the name of the most extraordinary and fascinating reptile. it is no coincidence. the imprint is given by both betagammas main occupation and his love of minimalism and techno. either way, the track references science. a slightly oddish, popping groove as if someone opened up a terrarium cage. the record features interesting and crazy remixes, clearly everyone has their own geckos in the attic.

nobody knows where these guys were beforehand, but this record is a real hit. a new release has emerged from an equally new label - detroit techno archive it reflects the labels name perfectly. the 12inch recording includes six wonderful detroit techno tracks, from a couple of artists. the first associations that come to mind are detroit legends like underground resistance, derrick may, stacey pullen, kenny larkin, and octave one. youll find some old-school techno with a rich groove, multilayered melodies, and some great stories behind them. this is real hi-tech jazz.

33-10-3402 is a code name for nenad markovic, an imaginative and limitless musician and producer from belgrade, serbia. this release is the first in a trilogy of opium den and whorehouse inspired singles entitled mecanica. the title track is an erratic and cacophonous 14 minute masterpiece, cycling you through disorderly drum programming until you have no choice but to surrender and just at that point, the ethereal pad melody offers you an escape. side bs byot is a blissed-out blur, drowned in reverb and subtly suggesting leads that may or may not actually exist-the perfect antidote to its impenetrable flipside.

tusk off-shoot horn wax unite two kindred spirits that span house musics generations, emerging new yorker pixelife and legendary london pirate stalwart yusuf complement each others work with timeless grooves and serious respect to the source. as a result, both of these cuts are littered with analogue heaviness and acid funk. *filament in strata* wafts with big synth chords and mischievous 303 squiggles while *wardrum acid* lives up to its name in every way. proof there is still heaps of life in the old machines, these will resonate with all ages and tastes. limited hand-stamped hand-numbered 180 gram vinyl 12 inch.

just in time for this years festive celebrations, the imprint curated by merseyside edits maestro greg wilson returns with the tape-tapping talent of fingerman. real name gregg holmes, wilson first thought his fingerman pseudonym was inspired by a character from v for vendetta, the cult graphic novel by alan moore, but he was in fact so called after creating a weird stop motion video on a mobile phone about a shouting finger. thankfully his studio work is less peculiar: years of spinning techno in the mid-90s giving way more recently to an going love affair with funk, soul and disco nuggets.

george morel. the man behind that name stands for warm and soulful house sounds for decades, not only for being one of the hottest djs around the world, but hes also a multiple gold and platinum receiving artist with the help of his excellent production skills. now hes back once more on alex flatners label circle music - with a new underground hit.

bucharests electronic scene is surely flourishing these days. new artists, new sounds and, not least, new labels appear almost every day. it was time for old comrades piticu and herodot to start one of their own. unanim is the name they have unanimously chosen to represent them. first come out the sounds of piticu which are rather techno and agressive. it is time to dance on both sides of tipic ep and we unanimously like the ideea.

cassegrain & tin man are a deadly combination. old school acid lines programmed by one of the greatest masters in this field meet a super modern techno sound design by cassegrain, who have made themselves a name in the last years for producing some of the finest in dark and experimental techno. for the follow up to their debut release on killekill they have put together three tracks that are outstand- ing. high & low is a slowly swelling minimalistic acid epos of over 10 minutes length which proves the mas- tership of tin man in programming acid loops of eternal quality. 8 beats length only, but constantly evolving. no chance for boredom. the b-side starts with sex kit, a dark acid stomper with a chirping percussion which is well suitable for the peaktime dancefloor, followed by sand maze, a sublte minimalistic ambient acid piece, that winds its way into total dissolution. we are quite sure that this is the way acid should sound in 2013.
