dream states of lust and lucidity, slow to speaks latest reissue of house musics halcyon years comes courtesy of mood ii swing s visionary lem springsteen. originally released on the eightball sublabel empire state records in 1994, these excursionary landmarks saw springsteen bid farewell to his usual club-saturated exercises in queeny house euphoria for a hallucinatory breach into a secret realm of desire, where the whispers of a long-forgotten hunger meld with the floating synth-work of a true practitioner of the sacred art of club music. this is the soundtrack to the chill-out room of your unconsciouss kaleidoscopic sex dream, the sweet synth lines of springsteens ritual music still floating in your mind as you awake, alas, a little too soon. fear not: this dyonisian masterpiece is once more available thanks to the good spirits at dope jams, who remind you, *whatever the eye sees and covets, let the hand grasp!* not without asking (or paying) first, of course.

after 2 years where the old stories were still being carried around and re-told over and over by the worlds discjockey the next mysterious deephouse raconteur finally adds a new tome to the old legend in his own distinctive, unmistakable style: while the narrative is effectively and assuredly driven on by a classical yet forceful 4/4 rhyme structure the vocabulary is more playful, experimental and abstract with melodic fragments evoking pictures of vast, futuristic landscapes and a mood of deep contemplaton and enlightened serenity. another satisfying pageturner

detroit master of technosoul eddie fowlkes shows us that he can still surprise us with his original beats. influenced by soul music, in love with dance music, this powerful track is a perfect combination of his inspirations. and it really makes you want to dance and feel the music go into your ears until *something e special* gets stuck in your head for good. bringing you catchy lyrics, vibrant beats and a great kick. who else than the legendary eddie fowlkes can declare war on dance music? well, not me. the only thing to do is to follow the hypnotizing beats and sounds of this track and let our bodies go crazy. and when the backbeats hit us, it transports us to a new level where we definitely join mr fowlkes on his trip to become his allies.

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*.

audiolith - musical luckybag with a masterplan. ten years from now, back in 2003 the label started as musical one-man-show without any kind of business plan. a decade has passed since then and audiolith grew into a proper company with two associates, employees, office, online mailorder store and not less than 200 releases under its belt. but still some things never change, especially when it comes to release politics. no matter what ever style comes in whenever the boss likes it there will be a release. no compromise, no fear of failure that is what audiolith is all about and lars lewerenz is, has been and stays the musically approving authority, no matter if we talk electropunk, drum n bass, indie or punkrock, hiphop, trap, deep. emotin-driven house or electropop. his widely varied taste is the reason why audiolith still remains fresh and surprising a musical luckybag, but one with a masterplan. now the year is 2013 and audiolith is still loved by many - and hated by some for giving away golden gifts to fans instead of waiting for presents itself.

new label back to the balearics follow up the superb maricopa ep with a stunner from berlin based live music collective spleen. part one in their musical odyssey *fusionary* consists of live jams and instrumentation over computer-based syncopation, their music has a strange yet organic flow to it, which is both hypnotic and rhythmic. think kraut influenced, psychedelic dub funk with a touch of alt pop and you will be on the right road, but still miles away. music is better than words ... spleen prove that. limited edition vinyl with beautiful printed sleeves.

the kicks started as a collective of different musicians, electronic & instrumentalists, that gathered together under one roof just for the fun of it, coming together and jamming at their own expense. a jam is a jam. theres no aim, no target. it is free from expectations and just like that the tapes piled up with no specific style or genre lines. whatever happens, happens is pretty much the attitude that created a label, not out of necessity but out of convenience of being free to release the more outstanding cuts recorded, regardless of their personal definition. the first release is from the curators and creators of the project, maayan nidam & alex picone. the record starts with the psychedelic tone of alice in the desert, continues to a still hypnotic yet down to earth 020 and ends with the stabbing butt shaker think about it. the next releases will continue featuring picone & nidam, joined by cool cats like aquarius heaven, san proper & cesar merveille.

after the summer-smash-hit *gravity*, which is still on heavy rotation by dj-icons like maya jane coles or erol alkan, this is the second single taken from remutes brandnew album *theme tunes for 10 games never made*, called *something monstrous*
nomen est omen --- a screamin catchy vocoder-electro-banger for bodybuilders, disco dancers and, well, ... uhm, ... little monsters. following the tradition of daft punk, remute remixes himself here for the first time in his career and transforms the tune into an oldschool sawtooth-rave-monster beaming you back a couple of years and gives you the feeling you still dance in the mud of the tresor-loveparade-park ...

seuil is back on eklo with new sound experimentation. after using only the mpc for his last record on the label, he has decided to expand to other devices to express his feelings about modern house music. getting into modular synthesis and using two famous modern machine drums that you will perhaps recognize... but still no computer sequences in the circuit, in an attempt to make advanced and modern house music just with hardware.

uk house/disco duo casino times are happy to announce the first in a brand new series of hand stamped, limited italo/disco edits curated or produced by the fun loving boys themselves. casino times have been releasing their own brand of catchy, neatly swung, dance floor ready disco and house on labels like wolf music and needwant. it is not often that an artist can be defined by such a distinctive sound whilst still maintaing a varied and extremely open minded approach to music production and djing. no two of their tracks are similar, yet somehow you will be sure you are listening to a casino times song before it reaches the chorus. their productions sit so comfortably on that precarious boundary that so many artists struggle to sit, while they are emotionally charged they are also extremely dance floor friendly and are as fun as they are provoking. the first in the series (casino edits 001) comes courtesy of the london based duo themselves and is testament to what the series intends to achieve… limited hand stamped copies.

toolbox is so proud of this wax. i discover somatic responses with their very first ep on cfet, and i still dig for any of their music. whatever it was with cavage, with ant-zen or with dbn. but its true to say techno became more and more rare with them. and this time we hang on with four unrealesed techno and hardcore tunes from somatic responses! the sound is just acid and crazy of course, but this is not oldschool, this is music, probably the best musical ep on acid night.

the fat dog label returns for its second outing with yet another confident four tracker designed for both the head and the feet. the proceedings begin with the sublime moonrunners. introducing contributions from new artist spooner, the production duo use their hardware to take us to the very craters with this bubbler of emotive deep techno with dissonant house touches, d link (fat dog & ny*ak) continues the basement feeling with urnogud4me, albeit at a slower tempo but still keeps the floor burning with an unsuspecting, intense voodoo-house mystery. this is raw club music. side b we head straight onto a greasy dance floor called werk. lush pads intermingle with breathy flute stabs while the building groove consistently nags attention from your feet. stop teases us back onto the slo-mo dance floor yet again with another scorching deep house groove for the hips with a subtle funk to be desired at the disco as well as the deep room. limited copies!

an absolute bombshell, *o meu estilo* (my style) is lisbon-based dj nigga foxs record debut. real name rogrio brando, nigga fox came to our knowledge a few months ago, and we were immediately floored by what we were hearing. still in his early 20s, rogrio has already played in all sorts of the greater lisbon clubs, while discreetly refining his own productions. on this 12 inch he presents parts of his unbelievably vast pallet. as the title implies, there s nothing quite like this, even in lisbon s ever more productive and creative beat-based music. vinyl 12 inch limited to 300 hand-painted, hand-stamped copies.

optimo trax is an offshoot label of optimo music for tracks aimed at djs/dancefloors. yes, we know there are too many record labels already, but we felt an overriding desire to start another one as so much music that didn t seem quite right for optimo music (i.e. music that was specifically designed for dancing) kept coming our way. like the parent label, optimo trax will release music by new artists and excavate forgotten classics. all four tracks were recorded in 1992. staples of jd twitchs dj sets at the timem and all tracks he still plays to this day.

mole city is not in the tradition or deviating from the tradition – it is the tradition. after two decades of launching drums, guitars and pianos through the shifting interzones between harmony and chaos (moonlighting along the way with the likes of sleater-kinney, wild flag, elliott smith, built to spill and a long list of others), quasi are a genre of their own - they write songs in the style of quasi, and mole city is the quasi song book: parlour sing-alongs for the last century.
now in their 20th year as a band, and a two-piece once again, sam coomes and janet weis hand-deliver the double album/liberation cookbook/encyclopedia of kicking ass, mole city, to those of us who still care about well-built, homemade objects crafted with integrity, spirit, fire, and skill.

daniel lopatin, sohn russicher us-einwanderer, hat sich als oneohtrix point never mit experimenteller elektronik einen namen als talentierter komponist erarbeitet. er veröffentlichte drei alben auf minilabels, arbeitete mit antony hegarty als sänger und mit animal collective als festivalhoster (atp) zusammen und schrieb neben brian reitzell die musik zu sofia coppolas jüngstem film *the bling ring*. lopatins musikalisches schaffen wird von kritikern mit einem zerbrochenem spiegel verglichen, in dem sich klänge aus der vergangenheit brechen. auch auf seinem warp-debüt *r plus seven* blinkt seine neigung zum experimentellen immer hervor, zeitgleich wagt er sich so nah wie nie zuvor an traditionelle songstrukturen heran, so dass die zehn neuen tracks zu gleichen teilen aufwühlerisch wie hypnotisch wirken.

dutch producer arts the beatdoctor is set to release his newest work, collaborating with pioneering label lowriders recordings. this ep, titled lazy thunder, marks a significant change to his trademark sound. breaking away from his former laid back style displayed on 2007s transitions (unexpected records), 2008s progressions ep (beats broke) and his releases with the q4 (project: mooncircle), this new ep continues the trend already hinted at in his recent remixes: still present are the hypnotic loops and deep atmospheres, but the setting has changed from the lounge area to the main stage

but that the cocoon compilation l is all about love, is beyond debate: the love for electronic dance music, for its complexity and its diversity, the love for this global musical language and last not least the enthusiasm for the well-known and the still non-famous protagonists of this tonal romance that faithfully accompanies us through night and day for more than 30 years now.

everybody likes doumen, but also everybody says >oh no ... i love doumen, but its hard to play their records in my dj sets or to have a party with them...<
so this is why we founded van doumen. it is a rework sublabel, completely based on original doumen material, following the idea of tracks that work in dj sets, but still have the doumen spirit. the first record was done by scherbe (uncanny valley, big bait, ..), philipp matalla (kann records, internasjonal spesial, ..), webermichelson (holger) and potensia (modern soul, ..). the first two tracks are superb club smashers, followed by an angry caricature monster of techno and finally potensia walks you home in the most intimate and beautiful way possible. to be honest, we say this record as a first step of van doumen is a classic already.

phil weeks >crate diggin< project has been bubbling under for some time while the french dj/producer carefully selected 30 of the tracks which have been most influential to him over the past 15-20 years. indeed many of the tracks - from artists including dj rasoul, dj sneak, brett johnson, inland knights, rick wade, mood ii swing and lawnchair generals - still feature as heavily in phils dj sets today as they did when originally released. released over three unmixed digital volumes and three vinyl samplers, crate diggin is a window into the musical dna of one of the most respected and prolific underground house artists of this century. as well as being a highly personal project to phil, it offers a rare chance to finally pick up hard-to-find and sought after gems that were only previously released on vinyl.
