the creative combo doppelgaenger, pitchbar records latest offspring, are hitting the club scene with their vinyl debut >lumberjack<.
in the track >flavoured funk<, doppelgaenger live out their hard-edged, pushing, deep side. the slightly trancy elements are joined by a hard kick drum and somewhat deep vocals contributing to the tracks dark and driving atmosphere. this track represents a homage to the thick tree trunk that drives itself firmly into the earth, covered by a resilient bark and crowned by its old cracking branches.
the second track, >i feel good now<, mirrors the trees lush foliage. somewhat lighter around the treetop, there is nonetheless a solid body below, which can be played into wide space. >i feel good now< gives us the lightness to leap from branch to branch and up into the crown that protrudes into a dark night time sky.

wars/when i feel is juk juks third 12 release for nommos lead tune wars is pure winter melancholy driven by dark rhythms and brooding basslines, occasionally broken down with celestial synths. slick, enigmatic and moody, a hard one to pin down but easy to get lost in. in contrast when i feel is an irresistible piece of minimal garage house. big kicks and crisp highs are punctuated with reversed strings. all this is scattered with juk juks signature vocal manipulations.

re:vision series restarts with steve poindexters timeless classic >computer madness<. we are very honored and excited to be able to re-release this beast of a track! it is hard to imagine that this was really created over 2 decades ago. so the task at hand was to find the right contemporaries to revise this masterpiece, we didnt have to look far to find the man for the job: function is an old friend here at thema, and things got even better when he brought in jerome sydenham to co-produce the second treatment. it is thus with great pride we announce our re:vision of computer madness, featuring two resolutely modern reinterpretations of poindexters classic.

ltd nice price copies !!! new project by damian schwartz !!! sam the mummy lives in the deepest catacombs of his existence. hardly ever he can be seen on the surface and just a few ones have the >honor< of knowing him. even stranger it is his relationship with damián schwartz, the only person allowed to listen and disclose his awesome and disturbing works. here is the first one: untitled1 (mupa008). it starts with cradle, a brief but captivating prologue. and from the cradle to the grave, here comes untuned (interview), where sam introduces us in his most personal universe, crumbling his darkest secrets. soon we can see what hes up to, because despite of appearing as a hard and cold guy, on the very first beats he reveals pure soul music. tireless groove with magnificent salsa touches, bittersweet cymbals and congas that run with an intimidating elegance. on b side, pharaon s cat introduces stand up. little by little, it steps into a background of hypnotic and jazzy sequences accompanied by aristocratic piano notes that try to break into, but can only go out on tiptoes. so smart and so danceable at the same time.

grinding teeth is a unhealthy habit, but sometimes you cant help it. back on track on their mission to provide the worlds most hypnotic yet kicking techno beats, its all about the saegezahn and crunchy grinding on neufeld 02 sawtooth grinder. an amazingly diverse release, with three different takes on the original, each work stands on its own yet shares a common goal - to inspire people to hit a dark dance floor and shake their bodies as hard as they can and lose their minds in acid lushness.

mussurunga - that is the name which is used by the complete body inked cousins sigi aigner and didi bruckmayr for their outstanding performances on club dance-parties, festivals, free-parties and weddings in the home- and foreign-countries since more than two years. at their shows they use deep bass-lines, demanding beats, gentle hooklines and raging 3-d objects. the large sized mr. state-opera-chorister aigner and the dwarfish universal-bush-leaguer dr. bruckmayr also are known for their benedictional work with the performance-group fuckhead, for them they count as finded minds. mussurunga is a frowing suburb of the brazilian provincial capital salvador da bahia, which aigner and bruckmay vistied job related. while one of them waited without success for a date in mussurunga and spent all the spondulix which was meant for the taxi, the other one worked very hard in the regional beach-bars on artistic concepts. the result of this jobshare is, among other things, the present ep.

the black madonna hits home taping hard with her first release on the label >alright this morning<. coming from the middle of nowhere, but now based in the attic of a house in chicago that used to be the home of over 50 dance labels, she likes her music to do the talking and admires the anonymity and musical militancy of acts like underground resistance. having being brought up working in the music industry as an apprentice doing this, that and everything and helping to run labels, she actually refused to let anyone hear her work for years with masters gathering dust and never seeing the light of day. until now when, after the encouragement of a producer friend to get her stuff out there and a chance find by home taping of a few tracks online one day, she has now found a place where she feels at home. the first of a string of releases on home taping sees the jubilant and heavily chicago-influenced >alright this morning< released along with a remix by one of her favourite new producers, nicholas from italy. the rest is history and up to you ...

morgan zarates second release for hyperdub is a bold and unexpected move for him. he has been known in the past as the producer for leftfield soul group spacek and also currently as one half of the shining, signed to xl records, but with >broken heart collector< he has made some highly contagious dubstep pop, featuring rising singer / songwriter / producer stevie neale on vocals. stevie warns of a guy who is the titular >broken heart collector<. her rnb vocals contrast with a fierce storm of drums and vertiginous synths that attack like waves against rocks. it is a brilliant pop song, with a chorus earworm you might find hard to resist. there is also an instrumental included as well. the third track is >crey bey<, an energetic, grimy 8 bar instrumental. it shifts between dive-bombing synths and a spooked, nervous melody over a rich organ track, with martial kicks and snares guaranteed to get you bouncing.

the anticipated fourth installment of proper trax. featuring two raw-as-fuck cuts each from vanguard sound homeboy chris mitchell and our very own grey people. on the a-side, chris slams it out of the gate with the straight-up, no-bullshit jack of >drum trax<, followed by the searing frequencies of >fury<. flip it over to continue fanning the flames with grey people and the relentless industrial funk of >panik mode<, while reminiscing of times gone by when sporting a dog collar and black-dyed hair was a legit way to get some sleazy indiscriminate sex. as if you werent feeling strange enough, dial it down with >abrahadabra< and make those ripped fishnets drop with a quickness! go hard, get raw, keep it proper.

tense and nevermind deliver 4 heavy hard/speedcore cuts on this limited edition vinyl.

two of the uks most formidable names in techno step into the ring for a head to head on theory. stephen brown is a man who certainly needs no introduction, and his knack of channeling the best of detroit innovation and adding his own distinct flavours shows no sign of letting up. on >fuego< and >polar< brown takes us further into the jacking zone, his signature lush melodies driving up the rear until they envelope the tracks in a haze of deep and emotive vibrations, but never letting up on the tough rhythms. ben sims is drafted in to remix both tracks, leaving slicing shards of sound and roughing up the beat on his remix of >polar<, before delving into a hard-funk take of >fuego<. big business from two keepers of the true techno flame.

having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.

wncl recordings enters the next phase of its release programme. having issued a neat collection of ten 10 inch singles, the label now launches a series of 4 track 12 inch eps. first up is a showcase featuring 4 new cuts by 4 of the labels cornerstone artists. l.a.s don froth comes out fighting with the hard-as-nails liftin weights, while milyoo from kentucky gets frantic on the raucous pancake. se27s own west norwood cassette library offers up what it is (mah vip), originally created for mz. hobbs radio 1 show. rounding things off from toronto, knowing looks gives us cytal fink, angular funk for all discerning discotheques. we hope you will enjoy our show.

ig cultures holy rollers label comes correct with two fiery, teched-out funky bombs from major notes. the >o beasity ep< is his debut on holy roller and one of the freshest funky 12 inches we have heard in 2012 - not watered down or some tepid attempt at house proper. >rokit< works out some killer tribalist polyrhythms and batty-squeezing bass pressure laced with shades-on synth beams on the a-side, up there with the likes of funkystepz or ill blu, while >o beasity< gets overlarge on the flip, wrangling martial snares, tribal calls and hard-bodied bass with the ruffest intent.

the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!
