for their new release, >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields<, these two have somehow gone back in time to capture the sound of glacial moving, dark cough syrup pop music. mr. wiltzie has manipulated his trademark stars of the lid sound of haunting ambience, deconstructing, and funneling it through the beautiful voice, and song compositions of chantal acda. together, sleepingdog have gently abducted these gaseous tones, and choruses of pacific tree frogs into some beautifully crafted melancholic orchestration that reminds us all that we exist in a world of strangers, drifting only two feet apart. >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields< is sleepingdogs third album after >naked in a clean bed< (zeal - 2006) and the critically acclaimed >polar life< (gizeh/zeal - 2008).
comes on clear / translucent vinyl, including code for free digital download.

thinking about prspct without counterstrike is like peanutbutter without jelly, johnny without cash & kiss without the make-up ... these prspct veterans are back again with a heavyweight 12 that will leave hanging to the edge of your seat.
for the first side we got counterstrike & zardonic going at it head 2 head with >when worlds collide<. this pa stomper is a brute piece of work. destructive rolling beats hammer your face in while the bassline peals your face off bit by bit. put your screwface on and start bashing to this one.

following white hot releases for dirtybird, ten thousand yen and soul motive this is bashmores first new material of 2011

christmas is a time for people to come together. in that tradition, desolat celebrates a year packed full of music, with the second yearly christmas label sampler: a showcase of inspiring heavyweights alongside fresh talent from two continents, wrapped up in a big shiny bow. while last years christmas vinyl sampler was red, this years sampler will be blue: simply a beautiful sounding item in our favourite music format. all artists featured on the sampler have released music on desolat previously: some as special guests, some as cherished label staples. legendary chicago producer dj sneak jumps into the fray with a contemporary salsa-kissed house jam at a strapping pace, taste-making french don franck roger similarly digs deeps with the agile burner >egotrippin<. desolats taste for dancefloor atmospherics is further exemplified by loco dices stripped back and frisky track >dont make signal<, and martin buttrichs playful >roads<. livio & roby, premiesku, yaya and guti & audiofly also contribute their own takes on the desolat sound: with crunchy, sample-flecked grooves aplenty. its been a watershed year for desolat, with a super-wide variety of singles, remixes and long players by artists such as pulshar, ricardo villalobos, thomas melchior, marco passarani and der räuber & der prinz: musical explorations of submarine-worthy proportions. we are excited to see what 2011 will bring… stay tuned

prompt has been producing electronic music since the mid 90s and during this time has made a string of outstanding eps, some of which have even won awards. but who exactly is this man from madrid: prompt? to stand on a stage and party for hours in his own world is not prompts style. he would rather sit in the background of his studio and create unforgettable and ever more fascinating tunes. his debut ep on highgrade set the tone for his convincing mix of sound design and subtle hooks. these are also the most important elements for his new highgrade release. in >sharing sounds< its all about deepness. expressed through dense loopy forests and deep broken valleys. you have to engage in the sound experience and see the world prompt has built for you. few other techno producers have such a distinctive style or unique voice. with this ep you could be blindfolded on the dance floor and you would still recognize the music. the sound will convince you once again, both in the club and on the turntables at home.
