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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

heartically dubwise, rugged and raw essays in classic grime, uk garage and dubstep from a new london-berlin collaboration, with stuff like horsepowers in fine style galloping through its nervous system.
a three-tracker to kick the label off, on 180g vinyl: the opener engrains snatches of melody into a percussive firefight, like something from the actress war-chest, the outstanding, elemental, stop-start jack the dub is more bristolian, from the peverelist suit of trumps, monkey is out and impressionistic.

after a long break superfancy is back with a nice 4 tracker by ueberdisco. incl. funkwerkstatt meets schaeufler & zovsky & neurotron remixes. with warm chords, lots of reverbs and grooving beats this ep is something very special.

slamming disco edits at it best, huge dj support: danny krivit, late nite tuff guy, ashley beedle, rayko ...
derek kaye married his schoolboy passions of music and electronics in 1973 when he constructed his first disco sound system, aged just 13. prior to this, with dj equipment something of a rarity in those days, he created a custom setup that bypassed the need for a mixer by rewiring his turntables in such a way that he could flip the sound from one deck to another, and installed a switch that would dip the music so a microphone from a portable cassette player could be used to announce the song on rotation. his work soon grew in sophistication and a new console was built, with his schoolmate, greg wilson, buying derek s old rig, thus beginning his own well-documented dj career.

a side with trippy techhouse vibes and b side comes with an outstanding bouncing acid house killer. halla lada, the debute ep from fulast, is a symbolic expression as well as a figure of speech of doing something inappropriate or just being loud. halla lada is a two track vinyl, pumping house with elements of acid.

california analog dream is the new single taken from the vondelpark debut album seabed. tracing the sonic history of the song from initially being a highlight on the bands debut ep sauna to inclusion on the debut full-length, feels like uncovering the story of the band that produced it. on the songs initial version rainsburys voice kept you at arms length. on seabed his vocal take draws you in, feeling magnetic and intense. it is on this song in particular that you can really mark the changes that vondelpark have been through over the past 18 months of recording. rainsbury describes seabed as a coming of age record, and that is something that could just as easily apply to the impressive transformation vondelpark have made during its conception. on remix duties is fellow r&s artist bullion who always delivers the goods with his remixes and productions, on this mix he seems to be channeling a funky lower east side new york vibe, circa 1979. next up are dfa artists factory floor who deliver a signature industrial acid workout perfect for the dancefloor. pressing on white vinyl.

at times painfully raw, at others wonderfully mischevious, this is the record to confirm aquarius heaven as a project that transcends the formulas of electronic music to become something that reaches beyond the dancefloor.

hot new m_rec ltd grey series!

diamond version craft music that is somehow simultaneously futuristic and archaic. on the surface, its static effervescence and mechanistic precision evoke the march of technology and the sinister detachment of late capitalist society. but it affects listeners on a more instinctive level, interfacing directly with the nervous system and rendering the polyphonic chatter of the bodys impulses crisp and cold. there is something oddly permanent about they rhythms they unearth, as though theyare simply tapping into a deeper pulse that has always been present within their circuitry. diamond version is a collaborative project between two of the most groundbreaking, experimental and forward thinking operators in modern music, olaf bender and carsten nicolai. as joint heads of the berlin-based label raster-noton and with solo projects alva noto (nicolai) and byetone (bender), for over a decade they have been releasing work that spectacularly blurs the lines between the visceral and the conceptual, bridging the gap between gallery and dancefloor. diamond version release the latest instalment in their series of eps leading up to an album in summer 2013.

after last years dystopic debut, super strength ep, rising parisian cedric bros aka marcelus returns to tresor with something a little more deep and shiny in emerald. once again marcelus conjures up the spirits of detroit and berlin techno, moulding them here into dreamy modern house incantations-an inspired blurring of the lines the well-versed frenchman has been rehearsing over the last decade.

i had dinner with breach in london and he told me: hey, i have a track that is really dirtybird. i would put it out but its really sounding right for you guys. i took this with a grain of salt but then i heard lets get hot and i found out he was right. it has got the swagger and the sound. it makes girls grind their asses into boys crotches on the dancefloor. perfect. signed. so i then asked him to make something even more sexual, thinking it would be ages before i got something back. 10 days later the a-side came back to me as a 2 minute clip while i was on the train to warehouse project in manchester. i liked it so much that i edited it on the train to stretch it out to 5 minute. as expected, it slayed the room and the final version breach has delivered is one of the best records of the year in my opinion. with the simple title of jack you can see for yourself when you play it. this is the real deal. love, vonstroke

the latest emotional response release provides something very special indeed, in the form of a new track from under the radar psychedelic rock musician nick nicely. nicely has been making music from the 70s onwards, but his music has recently undergone something of a critical reappraisal, with the likes of robert wyatt and robyn hitchcock supposedly inspired by his work, wrottersley road provides the ideal entry into his music, a masterful piece of shoegaze pop filled with fuzzed out guitars and eastern psychedelic tones. remixes are provided by invisible hands, who provide a minimal 80s inspired electro-pop version, which comes saturated in radiophonic textures, and the oscillation, who take the track into even more abstract ambient territory than the original, deep into a place where time seems to stand still entirely, drawing its rich textures out into infinity.

after the killer release by marco shuttle vidd is back after a long silence with their 2nd release. a special release from somebody who has done a lot in a very short time: gw from stockholm. surrounded by mystery and simplicity, hurry up demonstrates both power and heft with few elements. the driving force builds a tension which really doesnt reach a peak, something that the locked groove vocal manages to balance perfectly. the energy is constant and keeps things interesting. the b-side starts off with runaway, a chicago-resembling funk track that reflects the 90s tradition and the new digital age. tonight closes the doors of this release and the closing lights come on, it is time to go home.
