as part of our 10 years anniversary mukatsuku is proud to release the holy grail instrumental long version co produced by tommy stewart of “brotherson” from atlanta usa resident ojeda penn.
there were two versions of the album “happiness” on the ife independent label. they looked almost identical but the first version contained the now rarer elongated jazz fused instrumental version of “brotherson” and then a few months later they recut the album with a much shorter version adding strings and vocals.
the former version is now being sold up to £500 so this 12” is a welcome release to the reissue market. according to mr penn this is the first time either version has been reissued officially and mukatsuku after many years of discussion is glad to finally be in a position to finally put out both versions on one phat 12”.

crg005 is the first of our collaborative ep’s, this time from cleric and dax j.

it’s time to touch music. it’s time to get your turntable ready! it’s time for ... wow! vinyl!
after hearing these tracks for the first time, we were certain that vinyl was the right format to release this ep. so here we are presenting our vinyl only release and who better to feature on this limited edition release than subb-an, with also a super remix from hector. some serious underground stuff in this wow! limited vinyl edition, with 2 original tracks on the a-side and hector’s remix on the b-side! high quality vibes delivered from all tracks using rhythms and vocals to create a very strong dance floor power!

what would it feel like to have your naked body slowly submerged in a pool of steaming acid? one would expect unbearable pain, of course - beyond the limits of our imagination - but with his acid ambient vol. 1 on kontra-musik, daniel araya proves us wrong. the ems studio engineer and producer adjusts the intricate ph levels of this corrosive bubblebath with infinity skilled hands, making the experience thoroughly pleasurable - on the verge of erotic even. your skin melts away with a sweet sensation of laxity and your muscles and tendons dissolve sensually slow. at the end, nothing will remain below the surface but the pleasure center of your now diffused brain, pulsating with unrestrained satisfaction. so come on in, the acid is fine.

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.

vinyl only release
with their releases together on pleasure zone with the sishes ep and on subtill with the pandering ep they were very successful. after all this fantastic tracks and drop outs we got them together for our mupasario release on epilog! the next 2 - brothers in arms - marc mario- philipp has already released his huge number rezo/epilog002 in 2014 and now he brings his old colleague and good friend nils luigi weimann with him..... and we re very lucky to have this great tunes sounding like nintendo games in the late 80s and with the nice techno surfaces.... this brings back memories of a great times and has substantially gotten us

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.

-nightbird- erscheint erstmals auf vinyl. das album war zuvor nicht in diesem format erhältlich. die 180 gramm schwere edition wird dem pop-meisterwerk klanglich gerecht.

occasionally, a record — or sometimes even a dj — simply falls out of the sky, like so many unexplained showers of fish, or midnight deliveries of frozen piss from passing jumbo jets. and so it was when dj steve first came to our attention in 2011 via tim sweeney, who discovered him quite by chance djing in the italian seaside town of tropea.

the grooves of thomas white and pete williams aka natural rhythm, have been a mainstay in the sets of robsoul boss phil weeks for more than a decade. today he pays ‘tribute’ with a special re-release of some of his favourites. born in a garage in the late 90’s, natural rhythm was a meeting of passionate musical minds. working together the pair sought to create their own style and sound, influenced by the tracks they were regularly spinning in their own dj sets across the country. creative sampling and their own raw beats, together with live instrumentation and regular guest vocalists, saw natural rhythm create a strong catalogue that, as we know, are still getting played today. with three albums and over 35 ep/single releases to their name, there more than enough music for label boss weeks to select from for the tribute ep. a tough job? of course. however, phil went straight for the four that never leave his box. leading the ep are the sun-drenched vocal vibes of ‘something big’, the title track of natural rhythm’s 1999 release on under the counter. our a2 is the lead track from 2001’s last call at the martini ranch ep, ‘chicago nights’, with its quaking bassline and disco dalliance. on the flip we’re treated to a choice selection from natural rhythm’s 1999 double album contrast in nature. first up with its celestial chimes and thumping kick is ‘smoldering island’, taken from the original part 1. closing the tribute release and taken from part 2 is the devilishly funky and suitably titled feelgood jam ‘energized’. we definitely are!

curiosity music is very proud to release its very first ep produced by one of the best techno/minimal artists in the world, the globe-trotter alexi delano, with the collaboration of the much talented marcus henriksson aka nobody home, member of the legendary duo minilogue. and last but not least, the contribution of nima khak, one of the worthiest representatives of the new swedish scene. devotees of analogic and jam sessions, our three experienced artists give us a mature and intense ep. stay tuned, get into the loop!s * lodestar bang (original mix)* is a tense and hypnotic anthem dedicated to insanity and astonishment amateurs. * exodus (original mix)* is a harmonically destructured and tribal track for disorientated maniacs. * exodus (nobody homes way out remix)* is a tense, uncanny and worrisome remix with unsettling dark incantations. * exodus (nima khak remix)* is an authentic techno remix illustrated with primitive apparitions, definitely designed for dancefloors. * exodus (nima khaks vibe mix)* is a rhythmic and space mix, ideally suited for escape devotees. this track is exclusively available on the vinyl release.

valioso015, refreshing sound from our friend and talented artists called sithòu. joining the valioso family in 2015, his track * baequm* on our valioso & friends va was already a little preview regarding his skills in productions. sithou delivers a solid two tracker, starting with * oso* a very special track consisting an impressive guitar as the main motif. taking a look on * delia* including a memorable vocal and an hypnotic atmosphere, lizz reshaped this tune into a beauty with musical influences from his romanian heritage.

hey everyone, dont be alarmed as we understand that you just heard of us a few weeks back. here we are again with another doobified doozie of a 12inch. from the furthest reaches of the canadian west coast comes a concoction by three well known faces that have a long history of working together, they prefer to remain anonymous for this 12inch for reasons beyond us. were not that good at keeping secrets and have a suspicion that you hear the rambling house that is emitted from this trio brings to your ears will recall something very familiar. johnny lumière and the triads, originally conceived as side characters of the adventures of t-bar and salary man cartoon (never published). the music was recorded during break intervals in the cartoon writing sessions (still seeking illustrator). file this under mystified house with a splash of sunshine. ps:weve been doing our own printed sleeves for the last few records from a really cool print house here in berlin. we think they look unique as they are a print/ fold out designed by our friend dave girard. people seem to be into them and figured we should say that as we are only doing limited runs of them.

inga mauer loves trains. -it s a fantastic chance to be nowhere-, she says. from cologne to clone is, in many ways, a celebration of this nomadic sense of existence. -i don t need a home, only a studio-, she confirms. recorded in a period when inga lived between cologne and rotterdam, home to the famed clone records shop (hence the title), the music on this ep is inspired both by the emptiness you suffer in futile non-places such as airports and the chasm you experiment in majestic scenarios as a russian forest. both by solitary travels and first encounters with machines you always wanted to touch like an 808. six tracks constructed with razor-sharp drum-machines, penetrating synth sequences and estranged vocals. raw sounds that capture the type of clairvoyance that one can only feel when in transit, far from the chains of our comfort zones. from cologne to clone is much more than a train journey. it s an introspective voyage to a beautifully warped soul. a reminder that, in fact, sometimes you only need your self-expression to feel at home.

second vinyl celebrating 5 years of vilena records. side a is characterized by techno of two great italian artists: marco effe who has released his music on international labels such as cocoon, sci + tec, cecille and many other, and the duo system of survival (fventi music managers) which have productions on labels like bpitch control, rebirth, get physical etc.the b side is characterized by the tracks of two vilena artists: the first is andrea spadazzi aka andrea speed, who with his -daphne- consolidates as one of the best artists of our label, the second track has signed by incept which closes this vinyl.

no light at the end of the tunnel. no helping hand to pull you out of the hole. no second chances. no god to cure this deadly disease. no heaven to save your soul after your final seconds... hope will hold on, but in the end, death shall claim it. all this, we understand a little more, day by day. we will experience our absolute zero, and the stages of life that come as close. we think that we will never recover and that we are not strong enough to fight against it. our immaculate, peaceful souls, that we begin our lives with, start to bleed, and slowly get torn into, bit by bit by the cold hard truth that breaks our protective walls. we learn to handle and accept this even as pieces of us shatter and die every time a little bit more inside us. to give light, we must endure burning. but what if everything we are able to burn is gone? there is no other way... we are falling apart a bit more, every day... dedicated to this state of mind.

cryptic waves from the cyberspace: nicola kazimir is back on croisière musique with his « early symptoms of the cyberspace-youth 2.0 ep ». includes a proper remix by barbir on b2. croisière musique has emerged from paris in early 2014, founded by rx and françois halard. * croisière* evokes the experience of getting lost in the music, night or day, from our frenetic feet moves on the floor to the deepest melancholy of our mind. croisière musique collaborates with young artists from various countries who form the new scene of electronic music, who make music with a distinctive look and care, a music which triggers emotions from special grooves

keita sano is back in the house. this time our man in japan comes through with two sample-heavy stompers, fully primed for peak-time at the disco. pow! pow!

we are very happy to announce the debut release of red axes on endless flight. maybe they are our most favorite artist at the moment. a side bubble cat is killer tropical house and b side ha jaka is crazy dark trippy stuff,if you like the production of barnt,you will love it

all aboard! spacepod, a low-key, late night funkadelic house anthem from magic mountain high. presented in the classic 12inch tradition, with an original mix as well as acapella, club dub, and (courtesy of move d) remix versions, this demented ode to mindflight exhales a bit of humor over the room, but also penetrates the dome with its lush, single-lightbulb groove and insane effected vocal manifesto. this is definitely one for the end of the night squad. join us in our spaaaaaaaaaaaceship! tip!

for our milestone 50th release we felt we needed to do something special, so with that in mind we present the return of red axes to correspondant. way back in 2013 we were a new label, and they were a new face on the scene. their hit record camino de dreyfus helped propel both the label and the artist in to the established figures that both are today. avalon combines everything thats good about the axes, with their signature new wave sound taking in the tropics, but skewed through a middle eastern kaleidoscope. sequencia astronomical is familiar territory to many red axes releases, but takes everything either deeper, darker, or weirder than theyve previously ventured, showing the huge growth in their confidence in the intervening 3 years since their last correspondant ep. to round off the package correspondant also presents an as yet unavailable instrumental version of camino de dreyfus

both sides evoke the ubiquitous tension between anxiety and gratification inherent to a curious human experience.
driving bass and organic percussion sit within a subtly evolving context, as the tone oscillates between claustrophobia and euphoria. the result is two ultimately uplifting techno tracks, equally relevant on the dance floor as in the hands of the home listener.

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.

we welcome birth of frequency back to our label, after his original appearance on our unknown landscapes series volume 3, by exium. two original tracks of scientific and complex techno, plus two remixes by oscar mulero and zadig.

general ludd are back with sunset yellow, their third ep for us in as many years. this one picks up where “are you losing my hearing?” left off with three more doses of heady drum breaks and spacey synth lines that have been psyching out our dance floor in new york for quite some time now with no negative side effects.

for the third vinyl release we present to you another great va compilation that consist of 4 amazing tracks produced by andrey djackonda, leparente, dimitri monev, maarka. our music is coming from -house to techno- and we do resonance for each dancefloor apart with every amazing vinyl release.

because its our 003, only three copies per customer. my mum is not on tinder

for the second release on alex bradley’s utopia records we see the return of london based producer dominic jacobson aka ‘modaji’. dominic’s initial modaji and harvey lindo releases garnered acclaim from luminaries such as francois kevorkian, derrick may and gilles peterson and after 10 years away from releasing to concentrate on composing music for film and television, jacobson returns to the studio to delve further into his deep house and ambient soundscapes. the first of two ep’s, belle epoque touches on a more cinematic approach to production and showcases a warmer, more expanded sound. the aim is to create music that is as listenable during the dusky twilight hours as it is at sunrise. the rest we leave to your imagination and trust you will enjoy our offering. limited pressing!

dubmasters come back strong on their second release on our catalog, with a heavily road tested banger. 12 bar disco is a caleidoscope of surfed out guitar riffs, dubby chops and vintage pads over a funky 90’s manchester synth bassline, that has proven to shake dance floors around the globe. for this e.p. the original is taken on a slight dubbed out deviation with tape delays taking the foreground on the mix, cosmic pads and extended psychedelic breakdown, definitely a monster.

quintessentials is very happy to present their 50th release! to celebrate this, we invited some buddies to bring the deep beats. and damn they did! mat chiavaroli, one of your main artists who is getting stronger and stronger, opens this jubilee release with upbuilding powerful tune, just the tune the get quintessentials 50 started! great to see profilic dutch producer nachtbraker (heist, quartet series) on the label too. we love his style and he will soon be as popular as ajax amsterdam! his subtle and dirty “bronco” fits in perfectly. the definitive club tune that grooves and grooves and grooves comes from ponty mython (dirt crew). alexandr is a cool guy and this is defo a cool tune. last but not least is soul of hex (freerange, vicario). our mexican friend is going very raw this time. yes, why not call it electronic body music (remember?)! as we are gentlemen, we added a quintessentials sticker in the vinyl edition. go and get it!

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.

cannataci records - a new record label run by ripperton & agnès cannataci records is a joint venture hosted by ripperton and agnès. the label is aimed at releasing rather unclassified music, pieces our friends compose or simply ourselves. the aim is at releasing music we believe make things go beyond the usual paths. the label name is a reference to our hopes in the newly appointed un special rapporteur on privacy, namely, joseph cannataci. frankly, we do not want to taint our music with politics, although we are simply firm endorsers of our own privacy and think everybody else should.

when hitting a streak it s best to keep going. for a prolific producer like ubx127 one ep just wasn t enough to keep up with his continuous output of high quality techno. constant permutation part 2 picks up where its predecessor left off and provides for another batch of deadly club weapons. living up to its title, beatless explorations sends out eerie signals deep into outer space, anticipating with suspense to maybe find some life form s response. it arrives in form of driving track felt and its ricocheting, arpeggiated synths, which would aptly soundtrack the decent of alien attack ships on our planet. weighty, yet mysterious Örnsberg seems to echo with the cries of long lost souls that have been trapped eternally inside its icy caverns. the ep ends with a masterclass in immersive sound design, a constant ebb and flow of layers, winding their way into the listeners subconscious. filling up a pair of twelves to the brim with tunes this well thought out and executed, ubx127 further displays his vast potential and leaves us with excitement for whatever he might be coming up with next.

the formula was simple: marry bubblegum and soul to the absolute sincerity of an enthusiastic child, cross your fingers and pray for airplay. but while the youthful sums of that formula may have grown up and walked away from their illusions of stardom, their permanent records remain. by 1973, michael, tito, jermaine, marlon and jackie were as hip as kids could get—household names, with lunchboxes, coloring books, a saturday morning cartoon, and an alpha-bits cereal commercial pushing the j5 brand onto any kid with television reception. their impressive run of four consecutive #1 singles playing on both pop and r&b stations cemented their appeal to both whites and blacks, prompting mgm to launch the osmonds as the safer (read: white) alternative. and parents? well michael had that wrapped up with his impossible-not-to-love mini-james brown thing. even their song selection straddled both sides, with “zip a dee do dah” and “abc” for kids, and contemporary standards “standing in the shadows of love” and “my cherie amour” for the older crowd. this extreme marketing and merchandising juggernaut created the kid soul explosion. a decade removed from our acclaimed home schooled compilation comes a fresh batch of talent show titans. with enterprising parents, neighbors, and teachers turning play dates into recording dates, groups like magical connection, little man and the inquires, and five ounces of soul emulated the jacksons, who’d made grade-school stardom appear easy as abc. afterschool special: the 123s of kid soul contains 19 tiny tunes ranging from bilingual d.a.r.e. anthem, to james brown bio, to young love and life beyond the playground.

we welcome back our very own poster boys jakobin & domino with their 3rd ep for luv shack. entitled roshambo, j&d deliver a bumpy four tracker for your occasional night raves and summer daze. our boys are kicking things off shiny with its title track roshambo in an almost motown-esque house affair way with soulful vocals and a funkadelic drum line. can t help it is heating things up next with a tight syncopated groove, chopped up chord stabs and a lush vocal line on top. as if this wouldn t be enough, mooguai boasts in with a slick synth bassline and an hypnotic arp, underlaid with ethereal pulse strings and an upfront jazz-house beat. ep closer polar 7 harks back to the early days of house music, with witty 707 beats, a classic juno bassline and a blissful organ theme to boot. versatility that you shouldn t miss out!dj support: tensnake, massimiliano pagliara, hard ton, chris massey, andre crom, hard ton, alkalino, fingerman, alex barck (jazzanova), jacques renault

is it heavy industrial machinery or the loud noise of a tropical jungle? do we hear a swarm of exotic insects over our heads or the sound of permanent construction overshadowed by sky-scraping cranes? this is los muchachos, the latest release of sano, from medellin, colombia. a strangely swinging 12inch with 2 heavy stomping downtempo tracks for those who know and those who want to learn - plus a mesmerizing interview – remix produced by toulouse, salon des amateurs resident and member of kreidler. los muchachos is a house music short story – both tropical and industrial – about adolescence in medellin, about kids selling their cd-rs at undocumented raves, about drawing flyers and stealing 16.09.2016 kisses, testing substances and kicking stones, about bedroom production, about dance and more dreams and adventures of los muchachos - the kids

kanja records is sincerely honored to present its first vinyl release, based on a concept called sunday mornings. with this series of releases we will focus on that warm up, early morning, after party gems and slowly fading away from peak time music. our philosophy behind this concept is that the focus goes to the tracks being timeless, and music that you can listen to in every time of day and night. music that offers a vast variety, but in the end coming together in that sweet and warm morning glory.

dubtil’s debut for amphia comes in line with the previous 10 releases’ tagline: tailoring new musical perspectives into the multidimensional universe of electronic music. the opener -indoiala- sticks into our brains with its slow decaying voices, pitched down to embrace the devilishly simple percussion. keeping the same eerie approach to his idea of dancefloor oriented loops, dubtil completes side a with -alta schema-, another typical kick-led experience enveloped into a more haunting bassline. bearing a deep house dna yet not losing contact with the dancefloor energy through its breaks pattern, side b’s -repet slap repet- opens the gates to the abstract structure of -contrar-, an apparently chaotic contiguity of weird samples, glued to each other by the minimalistic bassline. jumping from one genre to another, confronting dusty preconcieved ideas just to turn them into a fresh sound: dubtil’s imagination fountain is far from getting dry! we now have the tangible proof.

materia ep is the second installment of ruhig s double ep, inaugurated with particles ep in january 2016. originally the records were supposed to be out in the same period, but due to problems with our ex-distribution, materia ep got postponed of few months. the release starts with the transcendent trento, respecting ruhig s tradition of broken beats idm deep techno leaning openers. consecutive cut the vector is a thumping mixtures of drones and heavyweight hihats designed with some attention for dancefloor. the slow-burner materia delivers some powerful mist-shrouded kicks on the b-side, that wraps up with sciame, a massive droning wave of electro wasps, which still keeps some classy chilled out elements somewhere in the background, behind the thunderous main drums. vinyl unfortunately left no space for the extra only digital track 1870, this last one is percussive retro-futuristic jam of psychedelic mouth arp and huge mallets drums. the track will be available for free download in the same period of the vinyl

thank you for the world vol1 is a 3tracks ep delivered by sentiments, house producer and deejay from our beloved city of lyon. summer 12inch to get in mind.

desolat label boss loco dice is back with what is sure to be a massive autumn package: he has remixed the seminal dance track ‘go’ by the legendary moby, twice, and has made it all his own in the process. moby needs little introduction: the american dance producer and live performer’s albums are classics of the genre that are celebrated far and wide. they have been used on thousands of adverts, have given rise to hit singles all over the world and have made him one of the most celebrated electronic music stars of our time. his ‘go’ track was what started it all for him back in the 90’s, and was a bona fide club classic of the day. it still resonates today and always gets crowds going. now it has been remixed twice by loco dice, who has added his own stamp to it in distinctive fashion. his first excellent version is eight minutes of chunky and tribal drums, with rubber kicks, clipped horn stabs and big hits all building the pressure. those most famous vocal cries really finish it off in style, and ensure that dance floors will go wild whenever it is dropped, as do wonky synths and big piano chords at the breakdown. the second version is more emotive, with big sweeping strings smeared in the background to help make it all the more dramatic, teary eyed and impactful on the floor. this one is for the peak time in any set and is sure to make the most memorable moment of any night. both remixes here pack a real punch, and whilst remaining true to the original, they both sound just like you would expect from modern dance heavyweight loco dice.
