so far in its fledgling career, the ultra knites label has been populated by collaborations of the same name from the two founders sem marini and mike sharon. this third release sees the pair showcase their talents as solo artists with the first in a series of knite grooves releases, with sharon calling shotgun and manning proceedings on the a side. with a lilting female vocal hook, soft pads and jazzy rhodes touches, -people- is a classicist take on ny house that features some weighty kick drums, whilst -field of dreams- opts for a approach that s more indebted to the likes of mr fingers. marini delivers a peak time bumper in the shape of -voltage- which contrasts nicely with the deep rolling business of final track -music takes me-.

innocent music presents first vinyl release with their best artists in a great various compilation!

strong acidic techno

live techno-tanzband trio elektro guzzi are set to release their new studio album observatory via berlin based record label macro. from their 2010 s/t debut album and 2011 follow up parquet (hypnotic, near kosmische reverberations - clash) elektro guzzi have taken their man machine live show of bass, guitar, drums around the world, from landmark clubs like fabric and berghain to major festivals roskilde, sonar and mutek.

nelistening back, ‘interlude’ will feel like the perfect opening to ‘skylax’. a jazzy encore crawls in, morphing into a skippy hip-hop instrumental with jason’s signature flourishes all over it. aptly named as it is, this is the breathing space between whatever came before in your day, and the eleven deep house gems that are to follow. speaking of, ‘the love’ will have you gripped from the first bar. it glides the listener in, then subtly drops that signature, tightly-tuned bassline of jason’s and continues onto soulful vocals from there. ‘old dayz’ touches on a bit of a nostalgic note. the spoken vox cuts harken back to 90s hip-hop joints, playing over a looped latin sample-led beat. from there, ‘rawkicks 2’ shows jason’s rough and ready sampling style in action. a seemingly simple track, but one which has that special something which guarantees to keep people on the floor moving for its duration. ‘cut b’ contrasts this nicely, being a much cleaner production with tight drum programming and synth work. that said, it still has the classic jg atmosphere we love. closing out the first half of the album, ‘definition’ slows the pace ever so slightly, with its eternal pad structure that builds up the track’s momentum into something very mellow and deep.bringing in the second half of ‘skylax’, ‘john blue’ takes things back a notch further. a deeper tune, yet one that shows off an uncharacteristically punchy bass hit from jason. ‘last night’ is a track more reminiscent of jason’s first lost cuts ep on wax classic, sounding as if it had been freshly taken off an old tape with its sample-led beat and background hiss. the last four tracks of the album see a return to the ‘mastercuts’ and ‘lovedits’ series which fans will recognize from the ‘lost cuts’ records, with ‘lovedits 7’ and ‘mastercut 5’ respectively. the former is a laid back female vocal edit with the entire suite of signature jg touches while the latter is a garage house hit more crafted for the club. ‘bb’ brings the album to a close, twisting a disco/funksample over a pallet of drums and effects for the near six-minute duration of the track.all in all, this is the perfect follow up to jason’s debut album ‘313.4.ever’, with tracks for both the club and home listening. if you happened to miss the first album back in 2012, don’t forget that now you have the chance to grab it in a special double pack with ‘skylax’ on cd!so, needless to say, this timeless record is a must purchase for all collectors and djs out there

by now, frak needs no formal introduction. lets just say they are the swedish house mafia for people who actually know what house music is. lately, there has been somewhat of a surge in house and techno influenced by synth, ebm and obscure sub-genres that ends with >wave<. so the timing couldnt be better for frak to return to kontra-musik with this remarkable synth and acid flavoured release.

the infamous planet rhythm imprint is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2014. 20 naturally is a landmark-age and shows the label s ongoing persistence and hunger to catch the right beat. over the years many sounds within the techno genre have been showcased on this warm and respected home. coincidentally the label (now situated in rotterdam) just got onto a new a new flock of producers making their way into the crates of respected djs and like minded people wordwide.

morgan tomas is a dj/producer from france, who also runs the label reloading records along with a weekly podcast. in the past years, he has had several releases out on labels such as sleaze, nachtstrom schallplatten, prosthetic pressings and silent steps. he has been supported by great artists who often play his tracks. his music is a deep rooted techno, dark and energetic. with this album, he tried to reflect on several types of techno, using different environments, with a wide range of musical styles.

luckily there werent any of the anticipated refund claims for the first two chapters of >if this is house i want my money back<. so we finally dared to compile number three. the concept of the compilation is pretty simple: we ask friends, pv regulars, and other good looking producers, who are famous for dancing around the edges of the genre, for an exclusive track, all of which we put together on one neat compact disc. this time the bill reaches from hot shot producer mano le tough (who celebrated his permanent vacation debut on vol. 2 of this series), maeve label buddy the drifter, the swedish house mafia in form of house dandy axel boman and edit ramajam hnny, rising star lake people, long time vacationer bostro pesopeo (together with local munich dj san quentin) and sizzling newcomer boska to the jack of all trades willie burns, fellow nyc resident octo octa, berlin-based melody masters kim brown, the neukölln acid kingpins achterbahn d’ amour (aka iron curtis & edit piafra) as well as hotflush and we play house regular locked groove. each and everyone of the participants are more than convincing in what they are doing and although they have different perspectives on the long runner house music, the tracks come together in sweet harmony on this compilation

we are very happy to announce the debut release of berlin house duo manhooker on mule musiq! their release on unterton (sister label of ostgut ton) was one of the best favorite release in the last year. original version is typical early chicago house sound but its more melodius. some people already said about their music that pet shop boys doing house. we like it! they invited three new artists for remix. kresy remix on a2 is easy mixable dub version and probably main remix is mia twin&kasp on b1. its modern deep house remix with their fantastic voice

special triple pack for all you microfon vinyl only lovers out there - contains three classic releases:
- mfvo02: m.in & patrick kunkel / dj emerson - split ep
- mfvo04: dj emerson - selected remix works vol. 2
- mfvo05: pawn shop people - 5 seconds to jack

this first 12 contains new versions from daniel avery (phantasy), who released a striking debut album last year, as well as a string of much-played 12 inch singles. the 12 inch also contains a remix from invisible conga people (dfa), which marks the return of this elusive act, who recorded a fan-fave 12 inch for dfa in 2011, and have not been heard from since.

cgi is proud to present the debut of 2 new duos who are experts at making their synths and sequencers sweat divine moisture. lyman-alpha forest is a new collaborative project between producers grey people (proper trax, finale sessions) and talk (deconstructure). as a duo they work to bring acid into new territories with their heavy, low-slung approach to producing melodic-and-spacious yet tight-and-focused slow-burning club-weapons. whether or not this is due to a stroke of compositional genius or if it is simply a side effect of the high levels of sizzurp found in the tap water in their hometown of nashville is irrelevant, but the effect is intoxicating all the same. travel 7 hours up i-65 and you will end up somewhere in chicago where afterburner spends long cold winter nights painting vivid synthesized tapestries as epic as the citys skyline. the duo of nicholas reed (windbreaker) and travis thatcher (voice of saturn) employ an aresnal of modular and analog gear to produce lushly cinematic tracks that chug along like classic moroder productions while simultaneously evoking the rich melodicism of kraftwerk. whether you listen to them at home in the headphones or on the dancefloor in the club, these tracks will take you on a wild ride.

rhythmically satisfying industrial techno crunch funk. d marc cantus 12inch on ansatz features 4 new tracks in 4 styles, pushing the envelope 4 ways. tracks: a1. surface dweller a2.grey b1.box sound scape b2.heater followup to ansatzs 12inch from jtc people mover

music is strongly linked to memory, sometimes just a simple note will trigger a deep feeling of nostalgia or emotion. the new homesick series was created by music enthusiasts who are living half a world away from their birthplaces. their concept is a play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless, tracks which feel fresh but retain their memories. for the first release, the homesick team have curated three pieces by drop out orchestra, late nite tuff guy, zimmer, and amadei. doo have carefully reworked -no scrubs- into a warm, bass driven, disco jam suited for the dancefloor, alntg has provided a solid groove theory lesson as only he can, and the ep is rounded-off with a special (double) bonus track for all the people who love 80s-era french pop music, reworked by zimmer and the asia-based newcomer amadei.

upwellings is vincent raude, a professor of modern art at the academy of brest who has been releasing dub and reggae music since 1996 and has written music for contemporary dance and theater. he created his dub project lower groundz in 2004 where he experimented with reggae and in 2008 started his dub techno project upwellings under which he realized several 1s. his music was supported and charted by people like cio d or, laurent garnier, alexkid and more. upwellings music shows a great deal of recording knowledge and love for the details of electronic music. his a-side track zu zurich has a classic dub techno surface but we believe the skillful complexity on many levels will have us listen to this track many many times. there are things to discoverin >zurich< one might say. so it is no surprise that the flip side track >lower ground< shows more reggae influences which he uses in more abstract ways, employing vocal splinters he masterfully embeds in his recording.

nice price deal !!! quenum is an extraordinary individual. a professional breakdancer that was raised in africa, he found love in london in the 80s through mastering the art of djing to early electronic music and broke into the spotlight as acess58 in the 90s before forming the cadenza label with luciano in 2003.
his debut album *face to face* is deliriously deep and melancholic, rhythmically complex and gives a fragile new voice to techno. across the eleven original tracks, phillippe quenum exudes a graceful temperance creating tracks that flutter and take flight (indulge in synth voices of *children of the sun*) as well as rattle the bass bins (sample the raw energy of *basic solution* and delicate power of *ritual*). both sparse and insightful (*my people*) as well as intricate and anthemic (*never loose my soul*), quenums delivery is always quirky and slightly surprising and *face to face* is a curious analysis into this honest musical soul.

talented chicago producer chris e. pants presents his disco credentials for inspection on this his debut release for file under disco. 1981 is an original slice of synth & piano led disco music that conjurs up memories of legendary producers like patrick adams, shep pettibone and chaz jankel amongst others. remixes come courtesy of fellow chicago house producer the black madonna who holds onto the disco vibes of the original while heavily dubbing it out for the dance floor. while on the flip, disco deviants, pete herbert & dicky trisco, take a more balearic inspired, hands-in-the-air disco trip that will please djs and beachcombers alike. some people call it disco.

hommage this is already the third release for our little baby s p i e l and as we are on a constant search for the more leftfield and not so deep house esque dance music it was a very happy surprise to find an amazing demo in our mail box by the swiss indie dance/ electronic duo mercury. the bern based act already made a name for themselves by releasing on the great gomma label and by doing remix work and collaborations with people like robert owens, byron stingily, tom trago,munk and two door cinema club. these three new tracks are a well crafted mix of electro, disco, house and deep techno.

francesco- delivery the 4 ep! the first orbital variation is a dark and hypnotic track, desert city is melancholic and it describes the landscape of a ghost town, motor is obsessive it leaves no respite as an -assembly line- in the full period of industrialization and the last city describes an industrial landscape, with the sun in the face of the people.

deafaid is a small independent record label and starts here with his first vinyl. with deaf-aid, the hearing impaired people are also able to perceive sound waves from their environments, which are mapped as speech or music in their open minded brains. they translated these sound waves into music and bring them to >deaf ears< with the help of yet unknown ghosts and their machines. the true beauty lies in the artists microcosm. incl tracks by giriu dvasios, ohmikron, drykruand slownoise

after having spent most of his time with house to the people voiron decided to dedicate himself to his solo project. being a fan of the braindance scene and the reflex & warp records of the early years, voiron tries to follow the footprints of his idols (afx, dopplerefekt, lfo, global gon). all these influences lead him to produce an electronic music uninhibited from zero to one milliard bpm.this is with the support of artists like photonz (one eyed jacks) and meetings with his cyber friends minimum syndicat, le matin, daxyl, glass figure - that voiron was encouraged to produce music 2 years ago. releasing his last ep on concrete music and the following one on cracki records in april, you will have difficulty avoiding him and his tb clone in a near future

linda and thomas, two lovely people and also two tracks that fuse together the stripped-down industrial sound with the playful jacking youve heard from the men from mostar and malmo before. for the remix, the wizard of osch took thomas 33 to his underground science lab and applied advanced future algorithms to twist the sounds into new shapes

luca lozano, owner of klasse recordings presents this majestic 4-track ep on optimo trax. inspired by the past but sounding the antithesis of retro. in his own words.... the optimo trax ep was born out of a time when i was listening to a lot of old bleep house and rave, early 90s uk stuff. growing up in sheffield i was lucky enough to spend some time in warp records when it was still a record store and being around this music and the people that made it must have somehow embedded itself into my psyche. listening to pirate radio stations like fantasy fm as a teenager helped shape my musical interests as they are today and i guess this ep is somehow a reflection of that education, i wanted to make a collection of music that sounded like it was related to a certain place and time and in effect confirm my own identity within its context.

re-issue of the 1979 album by german bassist hans peter ströer.

exclusively remastered 180 gram audiophile vinyl pressing, housed in gatefold sleeve.

as per our collective minds, music is a universal language which is spoken and written around the globe. with his backpack loaded with records and his mind full of ideas, tagtraumer has been exploring foreign countries and undiscovered sounds. eight years have passed on his seemingly endless journey. through different people, extraordinary situations, adventurous experiences and unknown vibes an elixir of magic is created. it is the engine and the resource that drives his artistic inspirations.

we have been a fan of motor city drum ensemble since the brooding and eerie >escape to nowhere< in 2007 - a track that sounded like someone had listened to > french kiss< on acid and then tried to recreate what they heard. so when we started re-issuing romanthonys classics with fresh remixes, mcdes danilo plessow was always someone we wanted to on the project. it has taken 2 years to organise this mix and now it is finally here it doesnt disappoint. taking on > trust<, most people would head straight for the vocal but plessow instead eschews that idea for a warm, low slung dub mix reminiscent of muzique tropique and early glasgow underground releases by studio blue. as a more dj-friendly alternative he also delivered a completely instrumental dub mix.

you have to repeat the truth always, even because of the error around, it is preached, not by individuals but by the masses. so the madness is invisible when it adopted sufficiently large proportions. in this case we are connected: i am you and you are me! would i lie to you? who does not know the truth is a fool. but who knows it and calls it a lie, is a criminal. but one day you will have to admit officially that what we baptized truth, have an even greater illusion than the world of dreams. do you want to be a part of the silly people. available as limited edition red vinyl.

tfj, the vinyl lover and collector from armenia, is not a dj, he just loves house music and loves to produce it, tommy has a love for deep house, and we at deso loves deep house, house music with soul. this is excatly what tfj aka tommy j. finger delivers with this amazing ep on deso.

a new line (related) is the latest venture from lancashire-based andrew johnson (hood/remote viewer/moteer). utilising tools from the early days of home produced underground dance music (such as sk5 sampler keyboards and vintage drum machines) andrew has unearthed a beautiful album of downbeat, lamp-lit techno, industrial grade ambience and sonic experimentation which at times recalls early warp records, gescom and raw, 313 area beatdown house, as well as the more modern breed of electronic and techno travellers such as actress, mark fell (late period) and even theo parrish (the slow sound of your life).
the double vinyl lp includes a downloadcode for the full album.

next up on magic feet is a release by dark strands. tonys first release came via the first magic feet label sampler. since then his releases have caught the attention of a number of acclaimed djs, with daniel avery citing one of tonys tracks as one of the best he had heard last year. this is tonys first full vinyl release and shows exactly what he is capable of. the title track *return of the oscillator* has had people running to the booth every time its been played from london to croatia, as well as being fully road tested at alfos by sean johnston who also provides a superb remix under his hardway bros guise. the second track *galactic* slows the pace down and is perfect for those warm up sets.

the leaders in bringing cutting edge techno and acid to londons party people

recorded summer/fall of 2008 and originally released in january 2009 this gem has been open to a only very close circle of people only yet. the main idea was to have a bunch of short tracks with a soundtrack mood and a slight taste of early 4ad and factory records (or as frans de waard noticed alot of les disques du crepuscule and even early human league which i admit i adore). a must for fans of the pop ambient series, max richter or type records. limited coloured vinyl edition.

the 2011 debut album from uks open mic winner birdy.
