think of this release a quadruple a side. none of these will fail on the dancefloor.

with all the negative media surrounding detroit and its inhabitants, this hard hitting ep from urs alone raises some disturbing issues about responsibility, commitment, faith and honesty from the very institutions that teach these same values. this is a sonic question!

the ep is called spotlight diktat in reference to the feeling some djs have when they are on tour. a kind of dj melancholia generated by airplanes, dehumanized hotels, waiting hours in boring terminals, basically traveling alone. i made these tracks out of this mood. at first they sounds like the typical groovy dance tracks, but when the melody comes out, you immediately feel there is something wrong now the track is on and you still dance (of course its made for that) but you could almost cry to it too. so this is what happens when a dj or a producer has to do their job, but they aren t really in the mood for it. when the party comes, they just forget everything and make the show happen regardless. they have to bear the spotlight diktat and keep on entertaining people regardless of what they have in mind.

two re-worked tracks from their previous collaboration in 2013 that needed to get released. in 2013 these two friends spent quite sometime in the studio together which cumulated in a three-track release on butanes own imprint alphahouse. during the progression and fine tuning of these three tracks two of them, at one point, got a different interpretation. here they are.

intelligent communication. since 1967, astronomers have been receiving and cataloging very precisely timed radio pulses coming from sources they call pulsars. they have long assumed these to be natural sources, exotic spinning stars that emit laser-like radio beams that sweep through space much like lighthouse signal sequences. highly regular flashes and complex signal ordering are produced through intelligent modulation of their beam s intensity and direction of polarization. more significantly, through their seemingly purposeful geometrical alignments, pulsars appear to be conveying a coherent message. are these beacons from an intelligent origin? and are they warning beacons to warn us against the next shockwave that comes of the active galactic nucleus ore want they attack us? it might be prudent to consider whether we are talking about friends or foes.....mike storm.

born to trinidadian and finnish parents in sweden, jean-louis huhta took an early interest in percussion punk, african, disco, dub, detroit techno and chicago acid were all early sonic influences. couple these genres with an interest in percussion, drums, synthesizers and skateboarding and you are half-way into describing the sound of dungeon acid.

san proper vocalising.....comes with a jacques renault remix the label say: - some think freedom comes with a price, others say freedom is a prize. then you have people who claim -the best things in life are free- . it takes up quite some time and effort, or better yet- work , to sort out answers to these questions. one might feel cornered by such issues...

-i want them to hate me for putting this out- says jackmaster hater, referring to tracks once possessed by a mere handful of chicago house djs. these recordings, traded secretly on tape, were exclusive to the likes of ron hardy and frankie knuckles. here

i want them to hate me for putting this out- says jackmaster hater, referring to tracks once possessed by a mere handful of chicago house djs. these recordings, traded secretly on tape, were exclusive to the likes of ron hardy and frankie knuckles. here is the new compilation by jerome derradji with kevin starke, aka the infamous jackmaster hater and owner of kstarke records in chicago. &#8232,,,,it is one of the sickest slice of chicago house music ever released. this compilation features ultra rare and lost chicago classics paired with a nice selection of newer tracks produced by jackmaster hater and his friends, all nicely laid out on a dcd and 2 dlps. the dlps come with a killer poster and the dcd features a booklet about kstarke records and kevin starke and a few more surprises. it includes rare tracks by ron hardy, james -jack rabbit- martin, terrence woodard, traxmen and many more. this is the real sound of chicago.

locked groove marks his return to hotflush with the grandiose, puzzlingly-titled >enigma<. its a colossal record whose bass-centric melody looms large. large enough, even, to inspire what is nowadays a rare scuba remix. a counterpoint to these theatrics comes in the way of wandering in a cage, a broken-beat creeper flaunting the belgians ear for subtlety, and two beatdown versions of the title track that fit neatly into your dj toolbox.

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts.
rabo & snob eschew the worn rhythms of disco injecting a heretofore unheard blend of middle-eastern rhythm mixed with western influence. equal parts studio musician and disco academia, this tel aviv duo know their history and can see the future. here we come is an appropriate maxim on their maiden vinyl release. these two weave a groove combining original and sampled elements to create a three track ep, each cut as strong as the next.

these days house music is often about a 4/4 beat and a catchy groove. the idea is to do something simple to which you can get your groove and, and not so much about listening. the borders of electronic dance music makes room for the hypnotic beats, the driving grooves, but not always the melodic universes. leman & dieckmann have been making music for several years, both together and apart, but almost all of their music was driven mainly by the beat. but both having an urge to discover the dynamics of melodic synths and melodic percussion they decided to make an album. they agreed that the album had to tell a story, and like so many times before in music the topic became love. the story they try to tell through the music on the album *takes two* is the story of a breakup, the denial of the need of love, and the discover of the fact that often in life it takes two, to be happy.

good job 030303 got their hands on these six tracks by rolando simmons as they remind you of where acid got its name from: this is music to trip to. the 303 is abused to the fullest while simmons adds snares and outlandish melodies to the acid bubbles and bleeps that are never far away.

there are lots of producers out there who try really hard to do something else. then, there are these chosen few artists that effortlessly are something else in their own right. durian brothers and their magical array of modified turntables, sequencers and machines belong in this selected circle. so this mini album is a quite special and unconventional release, but that doesnt mean its not dance music - quite the opposite!

the raw ten is a collaboration between pittsburgh track authority and nic offer of !!!. *funny thing* is the first release by raw ten, a brand new collaboration uniting pittsburgh and new york city for maximum dancefloor devastation. following the path laid down by inner city so many years ago, *funny thing* is a vocal techno beast ready to do damage in the sets of deejays from deep underground all the way up to more mainstream. everyone will be vibing together in dance thanks to the soulful vocals of lou tanning alongside classic techno chords, but with banging drums and production values that could only come from today. in case the original wasnt enough, detroits church boy lou was enlisted for the remix, and it is a dubbed out jacking monster itself. jams as distinctive as these deserve to be treated right, so each one gets a full side 45 rpm cut from one of americas best dance music mastering engineers, dietrich shoenemann. the original full-color sleeve artwork is done by up-and-coming pittsburgh artist julie mallis.

after making waves with early and idiosyncratic eps on labels like rush hour and astro:dynamics, singular uk talent bnjmn now steps up to make his debut on delsin with six tracks of experimental and inventive noise and techno. coil opens his account with screechy, unnerving synths squeals, imposing and throbbing pads and super deep kick drums that come at you from miles below. it s a hugely textured and spine tingling affair before the ambiance of berth comes rippled with glassy and alien little melodies. merge has turbo charged drums hiding beneath more unsettled synth based noise that sound sernee at the same time as being paranoid. on the flip, and suddenly makes your hairs stand on end with is gothic celestial glow and slithering synth patterns, blown is a damaged and degraded bit of icy, thumping and reverb heavy techno and azure ends on a brain soothing, chilled out ambient high. these are the sort of truly unique and magically textured tracks you would expect from a producer like bnjmn, and mark a fine debut on delsin.

these days house music is often about a 4/4 beat and a catchy groove. the idea is to do something simple to which you can get your groove and, and not so much about listening. the borders of electronic dance music makes room for the hypnotic beats and the driving grooves

stop…press…an extraordinary radio slave donation for running back! the man like matt edwards took care of a matter near to his and our heart: an ep dedicated to the crafty dj duke, his infamous power music label empire and those massive sounds dat ruled di sound factory nation. one side holds a modern track in an old fashioned style of lovin (quote freely adapted from courtney melody): think rs >tantakatan< straightened out. >thats all the record do? yeah, bitch, thats all the record do.< special thanks go to omar-s for clarifying these matters once and for all. already huge with big room boys Âme, natty dread josh wink and a few others. surprise, surprise! flip for a portrait of a young and restless todd terry circa 92 slipping on his bathroom rug while listening to some x-102. dirt mcgirt! those 3 people out there who still buy audio plastic might be delighted to find out that they get a special bunch of bonus tracks: super heavy efx sirens, street noise and soothing rain sounds. can you dig it?

coming from the darkest depths of the south american jungle but raised in the city of utrecht in holland, julian alexander is a name that might not have fallen on many ears as yet but we guarantee you ll be hearing a lot of this 18 yr old powerhouse in the future. with a background in jazz and a trained multi instrumentalist, exploring hip hop and underground house and uk garage, julian soon started to craft a unique style and put his own slap and funk into the mix. focusing on a deep powerful sound with plenty of pound he quickly caught our attention as his meaty, stripped down minimalism explores an even darker chamber of the dungeon . julian s hustlin ep delivers the kind of tracks that keep the floor moving, essential tools that can be the perfect transition or the spark that lights the fuse on on the dance floor. can you believe he made the track undrg at the ripe old age of 16 years old. it really blows our minds to think he made it 2 years ago and it still sounds fresh and futuristic. as with all our releases these jams are tried and tested and proved to be very useful for building the tension and getting those fist pumping. their solid, track, bass heavy vibe will have no problem bothering even the biggest bass bins

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.
