dood, the second single from claude vonstrokes forthcoming album, urban animal. dood is inherently dirtybird and the one youve been waiting for if you were expecting something nasty from the project. the heart-squeezing booty-bass-line smacks instantly, while the rumbling drawl of the stoned vocal perfectly encapsulates vonstrokes witty spirit. the track is an homage to the time claude spent in los angeles during the production of the album and really captures the fun, dark edge of that sprawaling so-cal metropolis.

the first collaboration from seasoned chicago electronic artists k-rad (chris grabowski) and opcode66 (todd mariana), kno-001 is a deep and techy ride through space and sound. *from dark to light* offers a tasteful, musical journey geared toward experienced listeners and late night party people. reminiscent of watching the night sky transform into sunrise, *from dark to light* captures and explores this glorious experience. with simple, driving bass, an edgy monosynth riff and well-crafted sounds, strings help carry the piece through its musical transition as it builds and ends with great energy. *dream about* subtly addresses concepts of isolation and futility as realities. listeners may contemplate the relationship between reality and dreams (and the necessary functions of each) while immersed in slowly-evolving melodies. with many incidental sounds worked into the fabric of the piece, simple and satisfying percussion, and lush effects trails, *dream about* playfully and defiantly transfigures reality into something dream-like.

it is something of tradition for tosca to get their albums remixed. indeed, they once released a record comprised entirely of 13 mixes ofone song, 2002s *different tastes of honey*, variations on *honey* from 1999s *suzuki*. it is a way of keeping things fresh, injecting someuncertainty into proceedings, knocking things out of balance in order to check how they should be re-aligned. after releasing *odeon* earlier this year, tosca comes back with *tlapa - the odeon remixes*. *tlapa* meaning, this life arouses pure adventure. the remixes come from bredon moeller, joyce muniz, siler city, ltj experience, beat pharmacy, marlow & truby, sephane lefrancois, afg aka antye greie and rodney hunter. the double vinyl comes with a cd-copy included.

the fifth w&o street tracks release sees label bosses waze & odyssey open up their sizeable discography to two of their newest signings in squarehead and chamboche, who both remix early cut ride my junk. sheffields squarehead comes to w&o street tracks following releases on wolf music, pet records and mannuccis mistress that make him a perfect fit for his new home - something thats demonstrated further on the six and a half minutes of euphoric garage house that makes up his lead remix. the well respected talents of chamboche serve him equally well on an accompanying deeper revision that channels carl craigs paperclip people project

rsi is a new label affiliated to the tusk wax empire, and for their first release they look to the unexpected choice of the posthuman duo of rich bevan and josh doherty. hecatism sees the pair wander into deeper corners than their music is usually known for, trading electro breakbeats for a mid tempo production filled with resonant textures and vocal chunks that could nominally be described as house, while helioshock sees them break out the 303 for some heady acid grooves. the remixes of the title track come expertly chosen also, with disco bloodbath resident damon martin taking the track even deeper into something approaching balearic groove, and pork intl, who adds a distinctly more interstellar flavour to the original with its danny wolfers-style analogue house chords.

attributed with fueling music is loves recent rich rein of form is jamie trench, who himself continues along a flourishing 2013 after a set of very impressive releases on his own imprint roots for bloom as well tsuba limited.

*my recent sets have become something of a tici taci megamix* … andrew weatherall, as recommended by the chairman. a brand new label with some old hands on deck, tici taci is bringing the funk back with this first release - electric plum. producer duncan gray (ex sons of slough, veteran of many vinyl labels) has gone back to basics, slowed things down to 110bpm and plugged in the real instruments.

following up his groovin ep, french house producer kool vibes releases his second ep, time & chances, for his own kv label. stepped rhythms, phased hats and soul-grunting vocals in *get u down* make for a lush and playful take on four-four french-tipped house, while *high up* features short sustained rhode stabs and 90s vocal shouts. *time & chances* is a little rougher in its musicality and drum processing, adding some jazz elements, whereas traditional house combos come to the fore in *something i m feelin*, as chords and crashing hats lock in and out of each other with electric flow.

hank jackson is from southern california, but he calls brooklyn home. a couple months ago, when we were stamping alex burkats record in the mister office, we put these songs on. after we picked our eyeballs off the floor, we realized we were listening to more than just face-burning techno. theres something about hanks music that seems to embody the conflict between youth and age, what its like to live in a society where the law can simultaneously & arbitrarily protect you or harm you. but maybe we just think too much. no matter what, we are happy to introduce hank, and we are happy to present you with the deposit ep. we hope you enjoy

new sheffield label shabby doll records makes its debut with nails donks ep. nail is nottingham-based neil tolliday, a producer who spent the last decade creating deep downtempo joy as one half of bent – their debut album *programmed to love* helped ease the worlds ills back in 2000. now, with love for nails solo manoeuvres truly reignited, sheffields shabby doll label is taking the next step with his first new solo material for years. called donks, nails new four-track ep showcases his flawless dancefloor instincts: there is something deliciously seductive about this early hours charmer. one to play when things are getting wonderfully weird… and finally, never4gedit brings back the sunshine with some sweet, melody-flecked disco. with nails vintage house output currently proving to have real staying power, lovers of real british house music eagerly await his new tracks. so if you have got a dark room and a feeling, let nail, shabby doll and donks add a little magic to the night.

another exclusive cooperation of internasjonal / full pupp and friends. this time we took three tracks from the second album of italys fine cosmic/kraut duo crimea x and bjorn torske wich was originally released on hell yeah and gave them an extra special prins thomas diskomiks twist. the result is as for me, especially convincing in dream is gone which almost sounds like a warm late 80s club version of a new order track. which, again, hopefully says something about its future fanboy / fangirl potential. so simple and so nice!

feelharmonic records proudly presents its first double-header, the depth & weight ep. kicking off proceedings is dublin-based duo jervis drive with their raw as title-track that finds its deadly groove immediately and stays there to great effect. italian maverick marcello napoletano provides a twisted, fuzzy and leftfield alternative of the same track. on the flipside comes manchester’s tomson aka tom lynch (development music/we_ctrl) with the tension-building and euphoric in a house on a street, while for something more heads down and deeper there is the dj aakmael mixx

since jasper & maarten played at one of the first ever-concrete partys called twsted ii, they knew this parisian movement was something rare and unique. as an ode they made these tracks keeping in mind these magic early sunday morning hours. the result is two melodic and atmospheric influenced tracks. their brother in crime makam is responsible for the remix. machine soul techno music are the keywords of this paris-amsterdam affair.

hot on the heels of the release of neville watsons songs to elevate pure hearts album, crme organization releases a three track ep of remixes from the longplayer. drawing on diverse names, each of the remixers transforms their given track into something quite different from the original. the first is by watsons frequent collaborator, bulgarian producer and live specialist kink. he tackles songs to elevate pure hearts and laces it up with some lazy old rave breakbeats and plenty of lucid synth and melody pattern before fast rising dixon avenue basement jams associate marquis hawkes takes on against the tide . he imbues it with what is fast become a trademark sonic weirdness, with wrought iron synth bars interlocking with molten synth lines and a slow, purposeful and predatory mood. finally, american moon b turns in a trippy outsider house version of son of house with off kilter claps, see-sawing synths and organic drums.

russian ol and scottish ¥oin are two young producers with something to say. on the ascent as emergent artists and off the back of excited feedback from their respective solo releases on error broadcast & tuff wax, ol & oin are in collaboration mode for the sink ep on fine grains.

when i opened my eyes it seemed that something has changed, the same people, the same place, the same climate, but a different situation to which i adapted by inertia, lay before us a new dimension. thick, intimate, felt. music as nexus.

hardly a rookie these days – perhaps more of an intrinsic part of the great british renaissance and current techno climate, tom dicicco brings his new label run out run to the table with a superb 1st release. treading a more layered path than on his previous outings, tom shows his teeth here with brilliantly creeping, menacing riffs at the fore while retaining the house and dub sensibilities in the rhythm section that have already gained him much support – certainly something for everybody here on this worryingly confident own label debut!

thinking outside the box is something we appreciate a lot here at the office, especially when its done in such an outstanding manner as on this record.

limited coloured vinyl, phat summer house sampler

droid recordings presents a new 12 inch from dj hyperactive, whose jacking chicago sound has evolved over the years into a deeper sound that maintains his signature infectious drive. on 25 hours, an undulating, bassy synth line builds into the machine-voiced partiers dream of 25 hours in a day, before the track takes off with neck-breaking snare and clap combos and proceeds to rebuild. raíz pulls the track from the depths to deliver something more brash and energetic. there is more at play here, with the 3-note riff tweaked throug the tracks duration, and the words 25 looped through a series of insistent, smashing snares. in the final mix, newcomer markus suckut follows his recent remixes of xhin and pfirter with an unexpected and idiosyncratic interpretation. tonal elements are drawn into the lower registers, while the vocal sample slithers around the mix. the syncopated elements of the original surface with in an alternative mode, dark and driving.

in 403 after a long break, fiakun team and el_txef_a join forces again, for this second colaboration at the studio. something about the way your hair falls in your face, is pure summer love.

out of the ether comes something special. how did dopeus get so good while remaining almost unnoticed? sometimes it goes like that. with only a handful of tracks released, including i left my soul on planet dopeus on nite grooves darkness part 2, this is ny resident naotake gunjis first major release yet he comes on like hes been chiseling away at his sound for years. out of nowhere comes the getaway ep. its house music but its much more than that. check!

you know you are ready for something special when lord umek comes up with a one-tracker, and even the title on this one lets you know you are in for a manic ride. sly bass sets the tone, under the tightly-wound rhythm section and flashy stabs make way for a cheeky vocal that takes the lead role. the busy drum edits keep the adrenaline levels high at all times and yet another page is written in production history, with umeks trademarked sound.

1nce again is back, this time with the first single in a double package! this is the first of two 12 inches containing one of our absolute favourite tracks from prolific producer ken duke aka dj duke. closer was orginally released back in 1994 on dukes power music records and the amazing klubb kidz mixes quickly found its way into many djs record bags, including label boss mad mats who rates the flava dub as one of his favourite deep house cuts of all time. if u ever heard mats spinning a house set chances are big you have heard this mix blasted loud! first up for remixes duties this time is mark seven, parkway/parkwest label owner, a true djs dj, a passionate music lover and record collector extrodinare. the so close mix of closer is deep house at its finest, an homage to the classic prescription sound keeping it ultimately atmospheric. the stalker mix continues on the same vibe yet develops into something more meaty and pumping during its course. together with the original klubb kidz flava dub and the mark seven mixes this release got everything a true deep house head needs.

the first release from under bron recordings highlights a firm and direct feeling, like being seduced and sharing something personal with somebody new, the a side showcasing a mixture of dialogue and trust. keeping a steady house groove and pace, sounds in the grass inspires the dust from the ceiling at your local warehouse to come down to the ground again, while waiting to exhale turns to the conversationalists standing by the bar or on the outskirts of the dance floor. delroy edwards (l.i.e.s.) remix on the b-side expands the wrd horizon and brings in a different blueprint, where swirling sounds combines the track into a beautiful palette of youth and decay

the label bond is the brainchild of swedish techno dj and producer petter b. the concept of the label is music by djs for djs. the label focuses on releasing tracks that enable the dj rather than the producer to be creative. it is based on that special bond which is created every time a dj combines tracks, loops and sounds live into something new and unique.

hes such an old romantic...more reflections from the tropics courtesy of king kivits. 1990 says it all - lushed out strings, diva vocal snippets and rave stirring sine wave set the scene while varck lets the beats roll.. in trademark fashion. the b side is absolutely nuts and really smacks - truly something else! art again from the brilliant young cosmo knex (who must have been about 4 yrs old in 1990)..tip! scntst &#8207,at scntst aardvarck you are a genius!
