and as the sun set that evening, gator boots knew that the world would never hear the music unless he did something about it.

label boss dj bone mans the controls for the 38th release on subject detroit, laying down a typically fierce, three pronged auditory attack. *what he said* tactfully yet forcefully treads the line between house and techno, cherry picking physiognomies from each side of that ever-blurring line and constructing something fresh but bristling with familiar subject detroit elegances. a favourite fixture from bones more recent dj sets, *i do* sees bubbling, arpeggiated chords simmer and swoop from foreground to background loosely as one solitary, remanipulated ticking hat keeps things in formation. watch out for the thunderous, doubled-up drum arrangement that crashes in to the picture out of nowhere! b side track *rhythm soul funk* is a genuine hard hitter and another that tiptoes between the old school and the nouveau.

now hitting release number six, fly by night music serves up something slightly different from riccio (bosconi // super value), complete with a remix from craig smith (6th borough project), for its latest offering. this is an equally classy release but more of an obvious disco tip. coming in a press of 200 limited blue vinyl and a letter press sleeve, this is another boutique package from fbnm. the man behind the jungle way ep is italian riccardo zanaroli aka riccio, who most recently appeared on the widely lauded bosconi compilation bosconi stallions. a dj, collector, producer and record seller, riccio is a staple on the italian scene and brings plenty of louche disco funk to this release.

latest installment of the limited series from the home of ivan drago. this one sees another split with beau wanzer back at the helm controlling the a-side with more heavy handed beat tracks made for mixing, while the b-side is a very very very nasty warehouse techno beast by njb.

so here i am, happily an album older, introducing the first of adamants remix packages. since the whole project was, generally speaking, a personal affair and a lot of the album was not necessarily club-ready (does that even make sense?), we invited our friends on board to do the dirty deeds for me and rework my sounds into something normal people can dance to. first up are mind against.

for this release kurbits once again turns to the romanian artist faster aka laurentiu suciu. since fasters last release on kurbits in 2011, the romanian has established his position on the scene with gigs all over the world and quality releases on labels such as vinyl club and rora. on this release we see faster continiung and developing the deep and hypnotic sounds of previous releases. orchestra modificata is something as rare as a subtle big track. the pads sure speak the language of big room business, but in combination with the exquisite percussion work, the track takes us to exciting unexplored dimensions. on the flip we have daca vrei. its radiant mood and the laid back breakbeats, make it the perfect ingridient for those early morning sessions when a little pinch of sunshine is all you need to take the crowd to party heaven. we sincerely hope you ll have as much pleasure with these tracks as we a have. we ll be back soon with new and exciting rhythms.

tip! highly recommended and mystical piece of outstanding dubtechno and dubhouse. amazing production and high quality artwork makes this release something very special.

kennys new ep for souvenir keeps in line with his unique, interstellar sound two quirky, eccentric cosmic cuts which stand unparalleled by other producers right now. both tracks on the single recall something of the balearic euphoria of todd terjes recent output as well as making humble references to the pumping analogue bass of italo and more rigid early 80s electronic explorations

in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.

the cultured minimood extra label introduces london based newcomer tcherneyan with remixes from the mighty och and minimoods own volt.mar on green colour vinyl. the a1 is provided by och, producer of the legendary whalesong, and consists of icy hi-hat ringlets and rippling dub techno chords, which merge into a slice of prime time excellence. next a2 mauvais présage is a deep techno track built around a dumpy kick drum that gets slowly embellished with skating and skirting percussion and distant groaning chords that sound like sad monsters. the b side opens with tcherneyans second original b1 vision, an eerie, vast and empty open space of chilly synths and echoing voices. finally, volt.mar on b2 then reworks mauvais présage into something that lurks with menace in some desolate industrial park where intriguing synth lines weave their own path and white noise blasts occasionally jolt you from your trance. much like the previous release, minimmood have struck stripped back, deep and dubby techno gold with this latest ep. vinyl only / no repress!

in a few short years laurel halo has demonstrated an unnerving ability to question established idioms in electronic music. throughout her body of work the michigan-born producer has expressed musical representations of merged dualities, spirituality in the inorganic, space in the claustrophobic, hope in dread. as a result there is something uncanny about laurel halos sound - the sonic templates may change, but the challenging of divides remains. laurel halo returns to lp format after two critically acclaimed eps with the driving, meditative *chance of rain*.

this is a special pre-release from the upcoming album by estroe called >comfort and closure<. this album will be released the 14th of november and we wanted to do something special to celebrate it. thats why estroe asked two producers who she admires a lot to make their interpretation of two tracks from the album, called >sustained illusion< and >ouf of my comfortzone<. both aril brikha and ray kajioka did an excellent job. we are excited about to launch the new estroe album and hope you enjoy this special release.

with fans like amon tobin, skrillex and noisia (whove signed them to their division recordings label), youd expect neosignal to offer something different - and the german duo (aka drum & bass heroes phace & misanthrop) certainly dont disappoint. their debut album raum und zeit including the single planet online is out now! their influences range from can to kraftwerk and joy division to led zeppelin, and, while their music has elements of early krautrock, industrial and 80s ebm (electronic body music), its powered by 21st century, bass-driven production.

horo gives true artists the freedom to represent the full extent of their talent and it is not often the cerebellum is truly engaged with the genre we have grown from but music for the mind is one of our over-arching ideals. and so we come to *scope*, the 10th release, a full length compilation spread over 5 vinyl 12 inches. deviating somewhat from our vinyl only position up to this point, given the scale and magnitude of this project scope will also be released on cd & digital, although there will also be 5 vinyl only tracks by way of thanks to the vinyl buyers that have supported the label up to this point. 24 tracks of uncompromising, innovative music from horo mainstays and new artists alike, scope represents where we have come from, but moreover, where we will be going. this is just the beginning.

raw, effective detroit inspired dj weapons!

since day one, radiq has been showing an affinity for the afro-centric funkiness and carefully-honed sound design of modern days minimal music. as in many of his previous tracks, all six songs of >vida noir< has this certain kind of unyielding quality - long, hypnotic grooves with muted kick drum set the stage for more emancipated experiments in texture and sound design. on >a long hot summer break<, for example, the effect is utterly obvious as kicking its ass into gear with syncopated drums and strain of warm chords before animated vocal sample slips in like fingerprint. while deeply seductive interplay of those chugging percussion gives way to delighted horn of >a-dieu<, warm chord and acoustic guitar of >calling< is perfect example for radiq’s masterful sound and texture. >machine codes modified< has rather restrained structure for him, but tightly woven drums speaks eloquently about its carefully arranged funkiness and dance floor functionality. despite their repetitiveness, its surprising how well these productions forming cohesive solidarity as an album. presumably, it owes a lot to wide tonal vocabulary which is radiqs hallmark - these tracks has something concentrated, vivid qualities. this album sits just at the edge of the dance floor, but also performs its exceptional strength on intense home listening. dusky synth and truncated surge of bass of >vida noir< constructing something dark, before closing this album with modulated afro-acoustic guitar and deep falsetto voice (by the producer himself) of >rondo<. this album offers up an engaging and comprehensive amalgamation from the inquisitive sound by the maestro
