deep but purposeful, this is house music for the cosiest of late-night dancing spaces that will no doubt bring plenty of deserving attention on trevor deep jr.

part 3/3! close your eyes and let go. born in hannover daso enchanted us with this track. it is constantly building up until sunrise. this is how we got to know daso when he was playing his first gig at a treibgut getting our guests up and going. in hannover this night is known as the topless-party-animals-night. not many are as familiar with the treibgut sound as mario aureo proving with this tune. a year ago it was all hands up at treibgut but know we set it free to be passionately celebrated at other parties. leave the orchestra in rehearsals – until they have finished we keep on celebrating to the deep bassline for the plane has just landed. moritz approached this tune verytooly. we just remember him setting up stage for the party, ordering pizza and watching football. frieder, our youngest member, never looses the concept of time and spaces but this track has so much atmosphere in it that you can imagine which cloud he is on. the track comes in easy-going leaving you floating to the end

the citizens bands second instalment for ramonas favourite label hollows their long lasting love affair. christian beisswengers (cb funk, one half of arto mwambe) is nothing less than dealing with the demise of an empire. >broken rome< is a codeine trip through early nu groove rave tracks as well as an ode to junior vasquez at the helm of the sound factory seen and heard through frosted glass. >densed< on the other hand tips its toes into the current deep house stream with an arto-mwambe-like hook and a thumping bass line. the spaces in-between those rudiments are taken up by the idm finger exercise and jewel that is >into<: ottoman dancing!

following their second album >demiurge< released in may 2011, >medium< arrives as the first non-studio based production by emptyset, recorded on location in the remote woodchester mansion in gloucestershire. the collection of tracks explores the duos preoccupations with the elemental properties of sound and bare rhythmic structures and overlays it onto the textural possibilities of space and material. the project marks their first act of adapting their analogue-based studio system into an architectural intervention, pushing extreme bass and feedback into the irregular spaces of the unfinished building.

get three times high with this triple ep set from diego hostettler on kanzleramt.

nice price deal !!! we have been working on new material for the last couple of years - honing, rejecting reworking and occasionally performing it out live. the objective of this gramme re-birth has been simple, but the decisions involved are always complex: simplicity is always the toughest of aspirations. we have been jamming together over the last few months and we have set up mobile studios wherever and whenever we have been able, including some of our office spaces after hours

this record gets you two times as high as any ordinary techno release! at least ...

following up scape 1s >potent mutagen< ep, cultivated electronics is back with its 1st release of 2012 under a newly signed clone distribution deal. and who better for this release than electro flavour of the moment morphology.

7 year old spaniard alberto pascual is the latest techno talent to be welcomed into the plus 8 fold with vertigo, his debut ep for the label. a skilled dj and live performer, pascual has been producing since 2004, with over 30 releases to his name, all of which pursue a direct and powerful techno style. its much the same on vertigo, the title track of this ep which hits loopy depths immediately. dramatic fx, crunchy hats and tension mounting hisses fill out the spaces between the beats, but the militant, marching groove never wavers. truchas rancias is more reserved: economical arrangements characterise the techno eeriness this time, forever hinting something is just around the corner but never quite showing you. final vinyl cut continuous learning is more unhinged, with swirling synths, dripping water sounds and shadowy voice sounds all coming together like classic plus 8 weaponry.

approaching the end of the year, pole presents another spacey and heavy bass 12 inch. two melancholic, quiet tracks full of crackles and endless space, made for this winter. it seems that the warmth of these two tracks is glancing around a corner of a cold urban wall, just to say:s-o-o-n, and it will be summer again.in contrast to the first 12 inch waldgeschichten, with its use of full chords, this new production is marked by its use of spaces, which seems to expand until they collapse and enfold the listener. this is the second 12 inch by pole, one of a new series of releases which will end in a cd release in 2012.

>call me< is a welcome dose of precisely what we all need right now: a brilliant ray of sunny electro disco to warm up our winter dancefloors. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner has joined forces with fellow swedish house cat patrick l for a collaborative effort that offers a fresh, playful and breezy take on deep disco grooves. the dj nibc mix rides a languid summer afternoon tempo, accompanied by shimmering light beams and sweet synth chords, rising to a peak of uplifting strings and soulful vocals that weave around the tracks core retro melody. the patrick l mix gives the full polyphonic treatment, shifting the filtered strings to the intro, intensifying the bass, and using subtle punchy cut-ups in contrast with patricks crystal-clear vocal treatment. fellow swede tiger stripes completes the trio of countrymen, with a tiger stripes remix that moulds the track into an urgent dancefloor cut, emphasising an irresistible bass melody, a thudding kick drum, and classic house stabs of synths and voice. londons newest simmering hot creations signee funnels even more sunshine into his rework, as the crea albas lost soul remix splays out the the tracks high hats and fills all available spaces with arcs of retro synths and cosmic reverb.

the new ornaments presents carlos nilmmns from glasgow and his analog machinefunk

limited edition , a classic club landmark, > moonwalk< is reissued here as the latest installment of slow to speaks core series, a fine testament to the expansive, totally-mesmerizing sound of authentic deep house music at its point of inception in the sweaty, blacked-out club-spaces of the ny metro-area and beyond.

the 12 inch is an 4 track - extract taken from her full album on desolat. it kicks off with compelling minimal house vibes of >fail better<, >mine has a shower< is a wink to the adopted spaces and unlikely comrades of an island dedicated to music, >triptease< veers slightly closer to a boompty house pattern and >maria, luise and bert< bolster the record with relaxed dancefloor vibes

amsterdam-based duo crystal maze have produced the ultimate mix of detroit techno, chicago house and electro. their new ep also demonstrates they are capable of producing fabulous, timeless music. the enchanting title track >crystal maze< captures the heart of the unsuspicious listener. it reflects the origins of electronic music, without the cliches, and is a journey into tranquility. >chicago skyway< delivers adepth audios hottest, jackin remix, seriously influenced by the original analogue sound of chicago house. >motoneuron< evolves and pulsates, as if exploring the darkest, deepest spaces of the universe. >two worlds< is cinematic and downtempo, dizzying synths and a phat bassline. crystal maze are g-string and maspaventi who have, with aroy dee, previously released music as r-a-g on the m>o>s label

new york noise describes the period in history (1978-88) where new york art and music collided. beginning in the mid-1970s, new york city s soho and east village became a hot-bed of musical and artistic ideas. owing to new property laws, downtown new york and its many warehoure and loft spaces became the home of artists, bands, filmmakers, studios, art galleries and more. in this small area partically every musican was also an artist, every artist a filmmaker and every filmmaker was in a band. this scene is documented over a vibrant ten year period and the book includes pictures of jean-michel basquiat, david byrne, suicide, keith haring, glenn branca, esg, madonna, laurie anderson, philip glass, afrika bambaataa and hundereds more previously unseen photographs. with accomanying text from david byrne, laurie anderson, cindy sherman and more, this is an essential record of a fascinating era in new york s cultural history.

pyramid is the third album by the alan parsons project and was originally released in 1978. the album contains numerous references to the egyptian pyramids, hence the name

perfect for fans of ricardo villalobos / perlon !!! just when we thought that thomas melchior and peter frank adshead had hung up their soul capsule boots and settled on sporadic solo work, they come belting back with two releases in a matter of months on peter fords trelik label. >deep dawn<, up first, is typically soul capsule. dark, twisted techno thats made for dark spaces and dark minds. sporting low, reverbed basslines that throb along to breathy and indecipherable vocals, >deep dawn< and <new day dawn< project the same eyes closed, foot stomping attack on their listeners as each other

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

there is no family like the audio family! goncalo m is a well known man in his country spain. he is ready to conquer the world now and a good platform to set the next step is the audio family!. another exclusive dj tool for fans of labels like basics, patterns, special series, adult and those alike.

if we add a new label to electronic music, is it really needed, wasnt music originally unlabeled? - lads contemporary productions could be called anticipated techno, architect techno, or architechno. these two tracks are simply brilliant and beyond what i have heard to date. the way lad is building space procures the feeling to be part of the music, to be in it, swallowed by it. >isolate< and >bergvall< are just two hypnotizing masterpieces, transporting you into unknown and untamed territories. deep, soulful, cinematographic, intriguing, moving. my drug is music. from 2d to real 3d chills. vanina hänin woods, forests, deep and dark spaces, like if kubrick, kurosawa and marinetti would have gathered together to produce music, simply highly cinematographic and futuristic. lad builds up organic visions, redefying sound in such a personal way. definitively two superb, soulful, finely shaped and constructed electronic pieces which will undoubtedly make you dance the night away. (dan lagardere)

on indigos second release, scottish techno hero stephen brown (transmat / subject detroit) delivers 4 amazing detroit flavoured tracks. supported and played by ben sims, rolando, dvs1, vince watson.. nice packaging too! handstamped to 250 copies.

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe

nice price deal !!! morgan zarate is best known for pushing r&b and hip hop into new spaces, taking influences from the us and uk and creating raw, emotional and psychedelic beats. on this first ep for hyperdub, his production steps up in tempo, and the influence on his music of grime and dubstep shines through.

lol is a bit of an unusual project, its just a thing in its own right, its not for anything or anyone in particular, its just an lp made by three bored people who like music that sounds like it did before the advent of the internet. the project was recorded in the bedroom of a warehouse conversion in hackney wick (bedrooms can be incredibly creative spaces, seeing as most of us were conceived in one). they wrote about self-obsession, social anxiety, drug abuse, and failed relationships using pre-21st century recording devices such as vhs tape, 70s valve microphones, analogue synths, cheap argos catalogue guitars, and 80s drum machines.

>kitsune maison compilation 10: the fireworks issue< delivers 20 (!) tracks from the ever-growing kitsune-cosmos on double 12 inch in gatefold cover.

in an era of heavy discotheque music played in dark cavernous spaces, light club offers a positive alternative with night bulbs. picture cruising down the highway in a 1985 volkswagon scirocco at 4am at a speed so fast that the passing lights blurrr into a sweeet neonesque glow. light club is that glow. almost like a ghost, a good one, not a scary one, perhaps the ghost of rick james... or nick nolte, wait, he is not dead yet. regardless >light club - night bulbs ep< is both a feeling and a moment caught on one spiffy myor 7 inch.

maybe >grandfathers clock< is the most house influenced release from the german duo piemont so far. going more deep dirty and housy this time... they turn towards a more relaxed and slack approach. chopping up bits of vocals and sounds, tight and funky, this is what piemont is all about. >running mirror< refers to giorgio moroder respectively hi energy influences and is a hypnotic cool groove monster that will convert spaces into soulful places. frederic and christian have released a good dozen of records now and have been very successful. with >peak time tracks< such as >carbonat< being played by the whole lot of ibiza djs and big names around the world. >running mirror< definitely manifests a turning point in their musical spectrum... to deeper grounds of electronic dance and will get other djs involved in their manifold world of music.

going home late one foggy night in london, i turn the corner to see my bus waiting at the bus stop, lights on, doors open, completely empty. i get on the bus and wait, a few minutes later the driver gets on, he was hiding behind a tree. now i always call it the ghostbus. stopping and starting, traveling along are the landscapes of sound recordings, perfectly balanced between synthetic and abstract layers of sounds. ghostbus invites you to travel along an electronic road of pulses and distortion, a travel between vintage and modern atmospheres, shifting into automatic vintage synthesis gears, a journey into the dark and cold nights of london. samp gives this music his trademark ambience in confined spaces sound, helped along by nax_acid both in collaboration and with his own edit version

full artwork sleeves. electronic / dubstep label kinnego records started by boxcutter out of northern ireland is back! after the success of the first release (by boxcutter himself) he introduces the masses to a producer named space dimension controller... the techno funk alias of 19 year old jack hamill. following on perfectly from boxcutter and kinnego fluxs a familiar sound on kgo001, it features 2 tracks of deep, loved up electro. equally inspired by both the tape warped soundtrack to garth merenghis darkplace and early aphex twin, jacks all analogue production gives his tracks a timeless sound thats a mile away from contemporary electro and house. the beats are low slung and funky, and the melodies are addictive and show a natural flair. on the love quadrant, a girl / boy vocal exchange sets the scene while the track builds momentum, before the whole thing spaces off on a sweet minimoog solo. on the flip, electropod 250 collision has a deep 808 pulse and flanged bass, topped off with detroit inspired melodies and blurred out reverbs.

hailing originally from japan but now operating out of ontario, canada, this is ms onos debut release, and she certainly proves her credentials on this clean, sharp but funky fusion of dubstep techno and electro. kuro shinju is abstract and oblique but crisply funky, whilst the flipside moon is not unlike the japanese art of ikebana where the spaces in between are just as important as what fills them. precision cut clarity.

this is the debut from both khixbrrr and northern general, presenting three tracks of heavy club orientated techno music. its a focused, unapologetic blend of tough rhythms, raw melodies and stark noises that when rubbed up against one another create restless sounds, rich and sonorous, bound for big systems and dark spaces. 7even man helixir uses his skills and insane attention to detail to construct a crafty remix in the coarse, mechanical style he is becoming known for.

fresh disco / house sounds with a splash of italo disco. another classic remodeled by the boys and with extra remixes by albin myers and jewelz

>my pet gorilla< is jerome sydenhams interpretation of rolling techno thunder. energy, big kicks, fat bass lines and infectious piano chords. what you are left with, is purehands-in-the-air apotek techno. prime time business! >tonto< is a deep techno track with an immense grooveaccompanied by futuristic efx, rhythms, and chords that forcefully exhibit jerome sydenhams consistency and forward thinking yet again. this deeply satisfying modern remedy represents in appropriate doses the meaning of deep tech syndrome for the psyche and the floor. >museum of modern< is a tough and funky and minimal tech- house track. this edgy experience is filled with surprises. the groove gives way to an epic rise that collapses into an unforgettable breakdown. with no empty spaces jerome sydenham pushes the envelope to pumpout this cross genre gem.

the parkwalker is one of affie yusuf s monikers under which he released a handful of deep, soothing and hypnotic house gems on funknose, back in the 90 s. some people may also recall house of 909 releases on pagan or alola. we think it s time to get the parkwalker character out there again, walking the parks in search of magic potions and analog children. we think it s time for the parkwalker to rise again and intoxicate innocently wandering souls with his almost therapeutically caressing deep house magic. nowar has the honour and privilege to relaunch the parkwalker with its first release, degeneration. two deep spiritual house gems to which you dance with your eyes closed, melting away to otherworldly spaces. degeneration instantly talks to your soul and dictates the rest of your body with primitive universal moves and grooves. organic, sexy, and soulful music for mind and body. opendance continues the journey on the flipside with equal hypnotic deepness and electronic soothing sounds for angelic tribes in an imaginary future... essential house music

1986, chicago. jody fingers finch is 18, not yet able to gain access to all of the spaces in which his first production will soon get airplay. he saves up the cash himself and records it in the basement of staple singers member bob murphy, who prefers the moniker bm recording studio. one 8-track reel-to-reel machine, one afternoon, $200 cash. a handful of cuts are recorded, including a stripped-raw, bare-bones track jody calls jack your big booty, an undercover piéce de résistance about his friends mothers backside. another is dubbed whistle worm, a meandering, experimental ride, riddled with strange noises and staccato high hats. bob murphy is likely confused. the tracks are brutally raw, lo-fi at best

following on from 2006s debut lp path of the gods, arne weinbergs second album will take you on a musical passage from alpha to omega and demonstrate the diversion of arnes palette of sounds. too many modern techno albums feature just a collection of tracks with no real story to tell, arnes second album aims to be more than just that and pushes further the boundaries of modern techno music. from the dark and mystic feel of everlasting to the floor shaking grooves of nightstalker and eclectic spiral or the deep electro influenced ambience of synthetic dissection and with trembling hands this album has it all.
