this mini-album marks a shift in emphasis for lustwerk music, with boss galcher lustwerk choosing to showcase the work of another producer for the first time. he s apparently been nurturing florida-based quavius for some time, encouraging the young producer to -experiment more- while following his instincts. it seems to have worked, because the majority of music on this debut release is top notch. it covers a lot of ground, with the a-side alone moving between r&b-inspired hip-house (-love the way-), hip-hop (-magic man-), woozy electronica (-r n v-) and spacey deep house (-composure-). there s naturally plenty more to enjoy on the flipside, too, from the old school deep hip-hop bump of -m 320-, to the crunk-tinged, cut-up goodness of closer -can i be-.

re.face limited inaugurates its first release on vinyl with a unique 4 tracker ep titled lost. authors of this work the italians re_named, creative and talented resident of one of the strongest national night-life realities, zu::club, based in pescara. if lost, eponymous ep track, condenses in itself the thrill of a hopeful search of quiet serenity, united seals the safety of a placid finding, conclusion of an introspective journey to the discovery of a significant identity of its own. on the other side, the remixes of sakro and jack wickham consistently run through the same vein, a current that leaves way of surrender, but never tragically lost.

the producer javier pérez rodríguez, resonance presents his latest work: an electronic sweet-sounding journey of songs and electronic beats from ambient-idm-pop-cinematic landscapes till reach the dancefloor... a symphonic-techno soundtrack which every track will absorb into the emotional and introspective nature of the album.

the first release by parisian iconoclast joakim for his friends and european colleagues at dj tennis life and death records is a miniature nocturne for dance floor meditation, a cascade of unfurling fizzy moods and introspection, finally tuned and expertly rendered by the electronic music maestro. -i met manfredi (tennis) through luke jenner (ex the rapture) in nyc. when manfredi has a few days off his busy touring schedule, he comes to my studio to work with luke on their collaboration project. we usually talk about synths, food, dj gossip and complain about espressos in nyc. about 6 months ago we were eating korean fried chicken and manfredi asked me if i’d like to do something for his label life & death. at the time i had a bunch of club tunes i started working on and somehow had a feeling some of them could be a fit for life & death so i played those and manfredi very quickly picked one, daemon. i thought putting out something on life & death was at the same time kind of odd (and if you didnt notice yet, i like when things are unexpected) and totally appropriat

we turn to chapter 3 as we introduce a brace of remixes by easily one of our favourite djs and producers, the one and only lena willikens! we havent really went in for remixes much before with the label, as we feel strongly about the power of the original. in the right hands, a great remix can be equally as powerful though and lena has succeeded in bringing her own weird and wonderful sounds to a track from each preceding chapter - rroxymore from chapter 1 and oslo gabon from chapter 2, whilst still keeping true to the original work.

after a year from his debut ep on rlgn the artist that hides behind the srndr acronym has again something to say. “forward from past lives” is his last exploration into the conscious, memories and mind. dark, visceral and uncompromising as usual the track takes the pulsating elements already present in his frst work to a next level, stimulating a sort of hypnosis in the audience. juho kusti take over the b-side this time with a stunning personal reinterpretation of the title track that rewards the patient listener.
comes with handstamped a4 insert.

nice price deal !!! michele pinna presents a new lp under a fresh moniker and alter ego, time traveler, representing a direct confrontation of the artist s own fear of time as an unrelenting force. the lp, titled ‘i m made of stars / journal’, takes inspiration from conversations between pinna and his father on the topics of galaxies, space and of course, time. these converstions were the starting point for the abstract, futuristic and dark work presented on the new lp. the release also draws on pinna s artistic interests outside of music, presenting a work not just of sound, but one with a coherent visual aesthetic spanning the physical releases of the lp. this visual aesthetic has taken shape through multiple collaborations with the photograpers, stylists and designers nicolas mazzei, danila tkachenko, khourianbeer and cinzia ara

arnold jarvis take some time out was first released in 1987, the year that fourth floor records was born, and it stands the test of time as a seminal release for the label. the track perfectly characterises the stand out productions that keep the house music world returning again and again to its catalogue for inspiration. this official vinyl re-issue includes the club and dub that made up the original release, plus a reconstruction mix by ilija rudman. ilija delighted classic music company earlier this year with his minimal take on disco in track in her eyes. his approach to the take some time out re-work has the same deconstructed vibe the loose percussion and punchy melodic bass gives a pleasing spaciousness to the track, giving the record fresh life and re-imagining it for 2016

although this is the first release vin sol has put out through ultramajic you cant help but appreciate their synchronicity, both the label and vin sol have an uncompromising vision for their work.

liam blackburn’s transformative night of visions lp as ancestral voices forged a bold new sonic identity for an influential figure on the electronic music scene. from his groundbreaking work as indigo and onto the success of akkord’s hybrid electronic melting pot (with synkro), the quest for forward movement is intrinsic to everything liam produces. to further celebrate the night of visions lp release, we asked some of our favourite producers to reconstruct some of night of visions highlights in their own style.

the debut full ep from the diamond sublimating duo might catch you off guard. a record that is earthy and dark yet somewhat ethereal, this 002 for the new label comes in steaming. recorded by the hungarian duo on csepel island of budapest, -the heat is on- grinds and swirls through expertly crafted blends of house, techno and breakbeat to deliver a body of work that will suit dancefloors at the same time as solo introspection. remixes from london’s altered natives and budapest native mate tollner slot in perfectly, each providing their respective take on the homegrown soundscaping that is diamond sublimating. the heat is on!

crossing returns with cracking and dreamy techno from pfirter, avion, doka and stefan rein. the label from avion strikes with its 7th installment releasing a package of 4 new techno slices from different producers showing what crossing stands for. the release starts with ‘sut‘ a track from the argentinian producer pfirter which creates an outer atmosphere with its pad, surrounding percussions and space running frequencies carried by this straight deep bass drum. a beauty. avion doesn’t take any captives and kicks the floor with a never ending trip of industrial percussions, noises, a heavy drum and a groove that will grab and never leave you. an explosive killer. for doka time is running in a different way. his ‘mural‘ comes with a melancholic bassline and rhythmic drum work to bring this imaginery painting from the wall into notes. surreal but true techno. stefan rein is closing the release with a bang. the ‘amorphous material‘ will never get tired and brings with metallic snares, hats and rides a kick’in weapon which includes a synth pad that will give you a smile in every moment you hear it. a clear definition of techno and its madness.

inspired by many of the industry’s pioneers, such as, ricardo villalobos, masomenos, marc antona, rhadoo, seuil, cabanne, petre inspirescu and danny tenaglia, to name but a few, counrad has been strongly influenced by deep and meaningful techno, since he began his plight in the industry. music has always been at the forefront, for this italian dj/producer , and the inwave and counrad series labels boss relishes the challenge of crafting techno that reveals itself gradually to the more discerning listener, fusing a multitude of grooves from contrasting musical styles, with a combination of sexy rhythms, subtle textures and emotive melodies. in this first release for metroline limited, counrad showcases the full spectrum of his versatile production skills. the title track underwater is a full on 15 minutes epic chunky minimal monster that just keeps on building. this amazing piece of work takes the listener on a journey that starts with hypnotic minimalism and finishes with some intricate trippy techno. on the flipside you can find the dark and percussive peak time tech-house grooves of particle collsisions and some uber-cool modern machine funk minimalism in the shape of the closing track synapse.

hot on the heels of the successful first edition of orbiter i comes orbiter ii, a second various artists ep that showcases both newcomers and established label acts alike. this time out, super flu, nico cabeza, anek and chris wood & meat all step up to the plate and impress with their essential contributions.

debut release on the new kaleidoscope jazz chair reissues label. first release contains some beautiful and well crafted dubbed out techno by kit clayton with his 1998 deadlock tune originally released as the b2 on the 4-track unreliable networks ep (on silent servant s label cytrax ), it slipped under many a record buyer s radar. nearly 20 years later, now that electronic musical tastes have matured and expanded, the time seemed right to re-present, this lush, atmospheric, percussive work out to the heads, deservedly pressed on a full side of 12- vinyl. pussy clap was originally released on the remote label, set up by charles webster, and featured house music predominantly written by charles and neil tolliday, better known as nail. jorge felucca was the alias that neil used when creating the more dubbed out, techy tracks for the label. sounding somewhat like a deep house take on maurizio, pussy clap was also released in 98, but had since fallen into obscurity, and the time had come for it to be rejuvenated and polished with an amazing remaster by pole for the modern ear that is a dramatic improvement on the original

repress! this compilation is his second for bbe. few can match john morales contribution to the world of the enthusiast turned remixer come producer. john morales is considered one of true legends of the mix. and his work some thirty years later continues to be cutting wedge and inspiring. although familiar with john s work - his epic mix of universal robot bands boogie anthem is the source from which bbe records got its name - no attempt had been made to summarise the pinnacle of john s work. this second release is continued history lesson in dance music. he formed with the late sergio munzibai, m+m productions whose output of over 650 mixes will be unmatched by many celebrity big name remixers of today.

produced by paris-based group dasein, pays sans visage is an audiovisual work which takes us at the heart of a nuclear disaster. its ambient/drone oriented soundtrack gets a reinterpretation by four producers bringing their own personal set of influences : deikean s stripped-down techno, cyberlife s deconstructed style, yan kaylen s dreamlike exploration, and nulpar s ambiguous intricate rhythms. a post-apocalyptic sounding ep filled with dark visions and dubbed-out intentions.

since his first release in 2014, gardens of god has been building himself a sterling reputation that many can only dream of. this autumn sees the lithuanian dj and producer launch his own sodai imprint, with his own two track production river/ghost ep forming the debut release.river opens with a captivating force and level of intricacy that’s undeniably a gardens of god signature production. g host is highly emotive and charged, a record that unfolds with such force taking overarching white noise and horns to command the peak of the night. the creation of the sodai label arose as an outlet to release his own music at his own pace. as he explains,sodai will allow me to experiment with my sounds and create an ongoing project that gives me the freedom to style both with art and music. minidaugas lapinskis aka gardens of god has only released a handful of ep s and yet his name is often spoken with great regard among fellow artists, including the illustrious maceo plex. for over a decade gardens of god has been steadily mastering his craft and creating both film and television scores. it is only in recent years that he has decided to unveil his work and open the doors to his studio, as seen over at xlr8r

an obscure tape release discovery by red light radio founder and close friend of the label, orpheu de jong, led to music from memorys latest release. this two track 12inch highlights the work of electronic music pioneer joel graham, a san francisco based artist who self released two cassettes in 1984/85. originally recorded and performed live on pre-midi analogue equipment in 1982 as an outline for a live performance, these visionary tracks provoke much of the same sensibilities found in both contemporary dance music as well as in works of more established vanguard artists of the time. slowly unravelling and deeply hypnotic, joel grahams music seems to manifest a doorway to a profound new world and can be seen as a forerunner of what was to come in electronic music.

from the deep percussive work of chris gray owner of the legendary label deep4life to the atmospheric house of chakaharta all the way to deep techno and chicago inspired house grooves from dan piu dating back from late 90’s.

a selection of four clubby reinterpretations of red on‘s ambient hardware jam „ghana“. by marrying the eerie soundscapes and delicate melodies of the original recording with their particular style of drum work, a. elm, alex ketzer, the marx trukker and philipp roth push the original tracks into krauty techno and rough, dancefloor focused house music.

raam is back with a solid 4 tracker. the ep starts with ment which is a raw and jacking deep house track. a big rolling bassline, drum machine grooves and melancholy pads create that special house feeling. lipslide is a sublime and discoish house track with dubby chords and bubbly synths that slowly but surely unfolds into a serious groove that really work the floor. on the flip ment get some remix treatment from samo dj (lies, ttt, born free etc) and alexi3d. they transform the original in to gritty and percussive techno trip. the ep ends with ask which is a slow house-not-house track.

ali nasser is back on pleasure zone. 4 groovy minimal cuts on this limited transparent vinyl edition - top work!

from his days organising free parties in and around northwest france during the early 2000s, oniris has risen the classical way: years of djing have given him an innate understanding of dancefloor dynamics and a firm crew and label to create with: astropolis. since breaking through in 2011, his tracks have rapidly picked up support from all the right corners: agoria, laurent garnier, john digweed, marc romboy and josh wink have all lent their support. having already released some of his finest work on bedrock and systematic, its now ovum’s turn to play host to oniris’ latestwork, the nightwalk ep. eschewing his penchant for the peak time, oniris steers away from the euphoric’s of previous outings and, whilst retaining his melodic moves, creates a selection of deep, warm and groovy cuts with a spiky electric edge. head-nodders, shoulder-droppers & hip-swingers rejoice, these slinky dancefloor numbers are for you. support coming from: pete tong, hernan cattaneo, guy j, lane 8, matthias mayer, christian smith, till von sein, luca bacchetti, marc romboy and more!

the third release on pooledmusics techno-focused sister imprint montage welcomes back silvershower, revisiting the debut release of ian pooley’s techno alias on its 20th anniversary. the original ice fractions 1 ep arrived on plus 8 records when richie hawtin & john aquqavivas legendary label was at the height of its powers, and showcased a tougher edge to pooleys productions. two decades later pooley is still maintaining his high standards, revisiting and updating past work in the form of reissues & remixes and issuing fresh original material such as his recent turakina ep on pooledmusic and the return of silvershower last year. which marked montages launch this new edition of the first ice fractions 12inch supplies the two original lead tracks and an updated 2016 remix of each by pooley himself, satisfying both those aiming for the vintage 1996 techno sound, and those looking for a punchy update for modern techno cathedrals.

this year experienced the birth of frazer campbell s deeper imprint elliot project recordings. the london based label launched back in spring with a real statement piece, composed of detailed minimal, late night seductive twinkles and a drone styled techno piece. the labels projected thought process for the future is to navigate through a varied soundscape of deeper excursions and thoughtful techno. this second ep with two originals from frazer, also includes a remix from highly respected uk musician tom ellis who increases the heat on the track light with a energetic but thoughtful techno re work.

marathons began innocently, as a quick debut ep by an energetic swedish duo we found on soundcloud. within a couple months of chatting with the pair, artur bra&#776,,ndstrom and egil kahlbom, however, we realized our collaboration wasn t going to be simple, so cut and dry, so straightforward, and that s why we find ourselves here, a year after meeting them with a full album, not an in-and-out single, on our hands. what made it complex and intricate, you ask? why d we opt to squeeze eight originals into one long-player, you wonder? well, artur and egil are prolific dudes with fantastic ears and formidable work ethics. a couple of demos quickly sprouted offspring and became four, then six, then ten. rather than fight the arbitrary desire to trim the spread down to a 12inch, we figured we d aim higher and work on a proper album. what we constructed is, in a very classic sense, a long-player. here s that album! it s a sunny, loose, limber, uninhibited boogie through warm disco cuts and wobbly house jams and soulful funk slices. daytime chill-out with a nightclub architecture—or peak hour mayhem with a bright, clearheaded euphoria. marathons swings every which way and suits any mood, so drop that needle and try it on. then repeat, repeat, repeat.

he s not what you d call a prolific producer but the old saying of quality over quantity couldnt ring truer for marcellis. with just 3 releases in the last 12 years starting with a single on 2004, followed by an ep on workshop and then his album on millions of moments, any new work is highly anticipated. its been a long time coming for nonplus but every bit worth the wait. 3 tracks covering a range of styles from the ice cold analogue quirkiness of sleep, to the bumping 4/4 offering of indigo skyfold through to the jazzed out chugger can they do tha (g love real raw) its an honour to have marcellis as an addition to the catalogue.

producer nick hollyster teamed up with robin orlando. several tracks have been worked out and we are proud to present the first two here on resopal. >music box< is a stellar piece of neo acid-techno, catching the relaxed atmosphere of the guys with its lush synth work and a bass-heavy rhythm-chicago tracking. >scenario< is a percussive jam with melodic counterparts while jackin’.

short run of this 2001 banger using original plates and labels. when theyre gone

four on four deliver their much anticipated white label ep from dj/producer jack france. three storming slices of electronic music that shift between techno, house and acid. this ones packing the proper dancefloor hammer vibes.

we are happy to introduce our new artist audri. after a long time spent into music production, audri finally jumps into the music scene with his first release titled -coming from reality-. this record it s a work of labour, trying to escape from the usual default pattern, a perfect marriage with our label s concept. a 4 tracks ep, with techno sounds, deep emotional pads and real analogue drum machine such as roland tr 808 and mpc 2000 xl all mixed in a original and forefront way.

born in poland and italian naturalized, erik starostin is a passionate dj, vinyl defender and underground music producer. his world of concrete ep is characterized by unavoidable detroit and chicago influences with remarkable personal touch. the powerful remix of lucretio, one of the contemporary best djs and producers worldwide, is the indelible mark that completes this work.

tom hang is the solo electronic work of lobster theremin label owner jimmy asquith. despite being ridiculously busy either quaking dancefloors across the globe and flowing into the world a continuous catalogue of acclaimed electronic heat, jimmy has found time to follow up his ‘tidy bedroom versions’ release with more original tracks from the heavily dusted harddrive. ‘the new world’ is a sphere where pummelling techno burners teeter on the edge of freedom before winding and convulsing themselves into varying mutant zones that straddle the lines between experimental statement and tightly locked grooves to create a record of pure dystopian dancefloor heat. there is an odd and refreshing unity here within the strict, bare, functional, consuming percussion and the heady, playful, and freeform nature of hang’s melodic grip.

whiskey disco no.49, rabo & snob s 3rd ep on the label, is further proof that this tel aviv duo has their finger on the pulse of modern disco production. energetic arrangements perfect for tension building at any tempo. this duo have also recently released affiliated projects on mahogani, strictly rhythm - not to mention their previous work as soulico.

the chordz ep brings it with 3 hot new modern boogie tracks. label hero newman opens the release with the title track chordz, a synth-fuelled dancefloor banger, reminiscent of harvey sutherland s recent work. flip it over and ourra (aka simon tappenden aka pop out n play) brings us a truly tropical treat reminiscent of palm trees, pina coladas and 80s miami sunsets. last but not least, keyboardist for brian ellis, adam chini plays horizons of funk, a lush down tempo synth funk number bringing the ep to the perfect clo

debut release for ra journalist dan petry using the moniker ged. the dry river ep is an accomplished first outing that fans of drexciya, dave clarke and objekt should investigate. ged s sound is rooted in detroit electro, early rave, 90s warp sensibilities and the gorgeous electronica palettes of manchester s skam label, most notable on early boards of canada and bola s work. that is to say kicking drums, dark brooding undercurrents and delicious soundscapes. definitely worth checking.

limited to 150 copies in uv spot glossed silken sleeve and frosted clear vinyl.
the debut release on sores could be by none other than martyr of sores. it is a project of the prominent experimental artist richard ramirez, with hundreds of productions to his name. richard has worked with names like prurient, thurston moore, the haters and merzbow just to name a few. he is also an avantgarde fashion designer. ’ceremony’ is a monumental noise piece in two parts. electrical whirlwind sounds that grows ever so slowly to take you in and tighten it’s grip around your very being. chants evolve in and out of the inferno that are nothing less than astonishing. a hard and beautiful noise work, thanks richard.

bergen’s christian tilt returns to norwegian label ploink with his debut album ‘alt skjedde jæla fort’ this september. norwegian christian tilt’s dedication to techno over the last two decades has securely placed him in high ranks to play alongside the likes of the zenker brothers, margaret dygas and ploink label head thomas urv at clubs such as berghain, jaeger and Østre - all in the last year. here though we see christian tilt make a return to ploink for a second time with a five track lp comprised of an intricate cross-section of syncopated rhythms and dubbed-out techno. ‘dos were the days’ slowly builds hi-hats and punchy kick drums, before a deep-synth melody drives the composition forward. up next is the stripped back ‘btl’ that combines otherworldly aesthetics with a steady bass rattle throughout, before the gritty ‘a visit from france’ unleashes a dark low-end, murky synth drones and frantic pad sequences. a relentless 9 minute affair titled ‘i only work late nights’ then swells and pulsates over an unremitting beat, before ‘Øreverk’ rounds off the package with frenzied clangs, muted hits and rhythmic percussion.

nothing lasts but nothing is lost – terence mckenna first solo ep by zanias after her keluar and linea aspera projects. this evolution culminates in a mature but radical project. radicalism has never relied completely on the means to deliver it. it also requires a relationship to society, to culture, at any given time. a solid background must be included in the formula as well. once certain stability is reached, there is no other way more than taking additional risks in order to produce new work of interest. finding different mechanisms to corrupt the methodical linearity that underlies artistic production. corrupting means finding possibilities to create an accident, possibilities to contradict, to prove anomalies within the frame of reference of that new thought is actually possible.

dirt crews 100th release falls on this years deep love compilation. set to drop across a double vinyl , with 11 all exclusive original tracks from new and old favourites including dam swindle, nachtbraker, the revenge and felix leifur. take a sonic trip across deep and straight up house, infused with jazz, disco and funk. this diverse and plentiful outing includes work outs for your dance floor alongside intergalactic analogue synth laden voyages, originating from artists we have uncovered from japan to iceland and many places in between. a truly great way to celebrate our 100th release.

popping up for the first time on figure spc y, it was the remarkable synth-work of ubx127 that instantly struck a chord with the labels demand for substantial techno. now the stockholm artist proves himself loyal and hits back twofold with a pair of eps that further highlight his mastery of both vivid modulation and effective sequencing. leading into this batch of new tunes are the crafty and beautifully fleshed-out synth-arpeggios of opener han, which ubx127 complements gracefully by adding tender touches of melody. a2 cut create and destroy displays a new side to the producer that verges on the manic, building upon a swirling theme that soon flies into a lunatic frenzy. soothing then are the spacious sounds of barabrus, a crisp piece of floating breakbeats and shoving sub-bass. living up to its name, swells starts as a bold synth-led groove and slowly grows into a romping beast that rebels against glistening sonic whiplashes. even in its own right constant permutation part 1 stands as a cohesive and compelling record that will add to any collection. but with its equally strong successor already waiting in the wings, it is ubx127 himself who will make a lasting impression.

2016 repress , informa experiments is a new series from informa records, the aim is to use new methods and ideas to spark creativity and push forward the ever evolving sound of electronic music. irexp001 is a special collaborative project by deepbass, ness, jeroen search and nx1. the idea was to work together on a 4 way collaboration, each artist put a selection of sounds into a folder then from that folder of sounds each artist would create an individual piece of music.
