7inch ep / sleeve has a central hole only on back cover, so that the b-side label completes the artwork. after the release of their first album born under saturn in 2012, and its follow up in 2015, musical adventurers django django went on to unchart new sounds and announce the release of marble skies, their new album, on january 26th 2018. tic tac toe is the first extract of this forthcoming album, and gets an exclusive 7inch, ep release. the track is a dancing, psychedelic uptempo and terribly catchy rock title, and will fulfill every django djangos rockabilly influence fan’s expectations. actually, the track is inspired from the very same improvisation that wor and shake & tremble recorded for born under saturn. the music video was directed by john maclean, brother of david (drummer and producer of django django), and director of the atypical western slow west.

the penultimate release on optimo trax (at least for now) comes from tel aviv’s mighty kalbata. i was already a big fan and was so delighted when he got in touch to see if i would be interested in releasing something by him. unusually for optimo trax this is one track in 3 versions but each version is so different that often i play them all in one dj set. originally there were two versions but as kalbata is a renowned master of dub (check out the documentary online about him recording in jamaica), i gently persuaded him to do a no-holds-barred dub mix too which appears here as enkuan pt 3. a few words about the record from kalbata – i went to ethiopia in the beginning of 2017 to record musicians. the most memorable one was mulugeta teshome who plays the washint flute on this record. it’s a traditional ethiopian flute made out of wood, and mulugeta came to the studio carrying a whole bag of them, each one in a different key. we chose the scale and started the recording session. i ended up taking the tracks a lot further with the three cuts on the record but really it all started that day, in a small studio shack in addis ababa.

as the cab passed by, the two stars collided with an enormous energy flash. for a few seconds, the galaxy fell dark and silent. but a, has barely noticed anything. her heart was full of music, and her body, full of love.
blorp is here again, ready to take you away and melt your soul. on board, serious a, a charming parisian astronaut with a crafted signature sound you’ll fall in love with and never forget.

tranquilizer is a kind of music that is created at night. the time when sleep did not bring relief and the clock is standing still. 4 o clock in the morning is the hour that is heard in every odd beat and the dirt glued to the sounds was always in place.

baltimores pj dorsey has traversed a lifelong journey delving into psychoactive music which can alter ones cognitive and conscious state. he harnesses his experiences to create music as tarotplane. using guitar, effects and processing he produces time suspending soundscapes - immersive music for merging the mind and body. . 358 oblique is the follow up to first which was released on aguirre records in 2015. find yourself adrift in the lapping waters of a slow unraveling sea of sound, a spectral vortex of shimmering tones and discrete samples guide the listener into an aural abyss, while plangent six-string melodies offer glimpses into a sanctifying sensory space. the two exploration provide an evocative journey through a psychedelic continuum and beyond.

after 2016’s mini-album shady and light, composer and guitarist martyn heyne releases his first full-length record electric intervals on the new 7k! imprint. says heyne: the number of parameters that determine a recording appears to be infinite. the mood, instrument, tuning, mics, room, temperature, time of day, all contribute to sound. the magic, once captured, is impossible to recreate. this might seem a hindrance, but it’s really the whole point of recording for me.’ opener ‘carry’, for example, is a composition carefully developed over months with most of the production happening in front of the microphone. ‘wilde wide’, however, was recorded only once as an early-morning improvisation. having worked with dustin o’halloran on the emmy-winning transparent soundtrack and with clarinettist claudio puntin as part of the duo set aglow, heyne’s sound is one of simplified diversity. on his debut album he controls each melody with the precision of a veteran producer.

“malik” was recorded in 1982 and remained unreleased until cordial partnered with afrodisia to release the song. “a fool no longer” was original featured on “rock aus der alten schule” and is available on 7” vinyl or the first time.

this customarily smooth set from 1981 is perhaps most famous for featuring three unforgettable tracks made with marcos valle. rio’s pop-soul wunderkind was exploring soul textures at the same time as leon was absorbing the rich flavour of brazilian harmonics. together, they crafted rhythmically sophisticated and melodically adventurous soul.

hundebiss bossman simone trabucchi - a pivotal figure of the italian scene - debuts his still alias on pan with a batch of banging, multi-layered dancehall tracks inspired by the complex historical links between his hometown, vernasca, with jamaica, and italy’s colonial past in ethiopia. part of a wider visual arts project, invernomuto, helmed alongside simone bertuzzi, and comprising a series of sculptures, installations, a book, and a long-feature experimental documentary under the title ‘negus’‘, simone takes cues from a “cleansing counter-ritual performed by lee ‘scratch’ perry in the vernasca square where 80 years earlier, an effigy of haile selassie i was burned” to cook up a madd set of dancehall tracks voiced by six milan-based, african-italian vocalists and singers...

2017 remixed & remastered edition.
composed of members buckshot, 5ft, and dj evil dee, black moon simultaneously kicked off and defined the rap renaissance of new york with the release of enta da stage in 1993. whereas plenty of earlier groups had spit rage-filled rhymes to tear down the world’s unjust establishments, no one had evoked brooding pathos or introspective anger quite like black moon. underground hip-hop might have been dominated by the sunny sound of g-funk when enta da stage dropped, but from then on the scene turned to the dark side. black moon was rising.

i have no words to say about this album but, wow... simply, wow. what is this? who is this dude? he (atle) got the funk. atle got the soul. atle got the smooth sound of westcoast. when he was in his teens, he spent all his money on music, women and party. here is the result of 10 handpicked demos from his vast archives. this stuff has been sitting on the shelves since late 70 s and has been carefully restored, mastered and produced exclusively for this album.

in 2018 the dutch band new cool collective celebrates their 25th anniversary, but before this celebration starts, there s another reason for a celebration, in cooperation with dox records, music on vinyl announces the release of the brand new and 19th new cool collective album electric monkey sessions 2 on november 24th.

the eight-piece band have, again, recorded the follow-up to ems 1 in the electric monkey studios in amsterdam. their goal was to obtain a raw and more analogue sound. recordings took place in the purest form, everyone gathered in the studio room at the same time, a couple of microphones, a few takes, straight to tape. the analogue spacedubs by studio owner/engineer kasper frenkel completed the vintage feeling.
the result? electric monkey sessions 2 is a multi-diverse album with a typical stubborn psychedelic cumbia vibe.

ben jacobs aka crackazat first made a name for himself when he was still living in bristol and released on ep on the city s futureboogie label, which has also signed music from the likes of julio bashmore, crazy p and outboxx. early in his career crackazat was also the official warm up act for an at the time up and coming artist called floating points, who now needs no introduction as one of the world s leading electronic music producers. moving to sweden shortly after the futureboogie release, crackazat made contact with the local talk owners mad mats and tooli, and after a couple of single/ep releases signed his debut solo album crescendo. the last couple of years crackazat has had an explosion of global popularity, which has led to playing gigs all over the world, and releasing tracks and remixes on labels ranging from josh wink s ovum, joey negro s z records and eureka in japan. classically trained with a strong jazz influence, crackazat has a distinctively individual sound that fuses funk with soulful vocals and the electronic bass music associated with his former home of bristol. eloquent and intelligent, rainbow fantasia is a masterpiece that showcases one of electronic music s most exciting talents.

remastered edition, contains a printed inner sleeve and 4-page 12inch booklet with liner notes and photos. tip! after a classic artistic journey and an experimental stint with aktuala and other brilliant fellow musicians (like franco battiato, above all), lino capra vaccina, near the end of the 70s, recorded antico adagio. it was an amazing album, anticipating countless future experiments in the field of new age and world music but also in avantgarde and electronic music. apart from a few violin parts and the extraordinary vocal lines (sung by vaccina himself and juri camisasca), antico adagio is an album fully built on percussions. but, at the same time, it s the farthest thing from the typical idea of percussions. you won t find a single trace of african or primitive beats: instead, this is a collection of rather long, subtle and thoughtful compositions, crafted with vibraphones, marimbas and gong. together they create a work which will remain unique both in capra vaccina s discography as well as in a more general sense.

one of the most pivotal figures in the history of malian music is sorry bamba. his work spans five decades and his music bridges the gap between mali s cultural traditions and new the music which arose from the musical cross overs which occurred in mali s post-colonial period. bamba was born in 1938 in mopti. this is dissected by both the niger and bani rivers and known for its rich cultural diversity. bamba s father was a distinguished veteran of emperor samory toure s military and a nobleman in malian society, however, this meant young sorry was forbidden to make music, as under the nation s caste system, music was an art form reserved for the griots.
in 1977 sorry produced his second lp for the paris based sonafric group. long out of print africa seven is pleased to be re-issuing the lp. the re-issue benefits from extensive restoration and re-mastering to a spectral analysis level, bringing and polishing long lost and distorted sounds.

kanja records is sincerely honored to present its sixth 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. bidon by university of nowhere was definitely our first pick for the first track on this release. nice warm pads and steady broken beats are becoming a trademark for their production. astral control by maurice giovannini perfectly sits beside our opening track with its laid back mood and again nice moody pads. insen gathway by widovski, an opening track on our b side, with nice minimalistic grooves, warm pads and freaky background ticks, surely deserves a spot on this release. defenders of prisma by gabriele carasco and enzo pietropaolo is the final track on this vinyl release. a really special track, which has a very mysterious and sentimental vibe and nicely rounds up our sixth release.

in game of thrones season 5, nine noble families fight for control of the mythical land of westeros. political and sexual intrigue is pervasive. all the while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north. amidst the war and political confusion, a neglected military order of misfits, the night’s watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy horrors beyond.
game of thrones has always featured excellent music. the opening theme is practically iconic at this point, having been played and covered so many times. composer ramin djawadi’s heavy, atmospheric tunes have always helped set the mood, no matter what tone the show is going for at any given time.

nena’s “feuer und flamme” (german for “fire and flame”, with the additional figurative meaning of “great enthusiasm”) was released in 1985. it’s the third album by german pop band nena and the fourth studio album of its singer, gabriele “nena” kerner. the album was a success, reaching no. 2 in germany.
prompted by the success of “99 luftballons” (1984), which included english-language versions of songs from the band’s first two albums, nena recreated “feuer und flamme” in english as “it’s all in the game” (1985), with lyrics by canadian singer lisa dalbello. the experiment failed commercially and was not repeated with the band’s next album. gabriele kerner recorded a new bilingual german-english version of “anyplace, anywhere, anytime” with kim wilde in 2002.

nena (1983) is the first album by german pop rock band nena and the second studio album of its singer, gabriele -nena- kerner. the album was a great success in west germany and the second single -99 luftballons- – a fable of nuclear war brought about by a bunch of balloons in the sky being mistaken on radar for a pre-emptive missile attack- successfully reached #1 in the music charts in the u.s. and worldwide.
the first nena album was released as part of the music genre called neue deutsche welle, new german wave movement in the german music. all five members of the band contributed to the songwriting. they were a unique group of musicians with a strong intuitive grasp of both classic pop and rock formulas. nena insisted that she saw herself as a member of the band and not as their leader.
the album is still regarded as an unsurpassed classic of german pop history, although most later nena albums are not far behind in quality.

musically and emotionally, superpitcher’s third full-length studio album, the golden ravedays is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill, feeling and style that the artist has honed over a period of twenty years, musically, and forty-plus- years, emotionally. and full-length it is: the golden ravedays is an epic album of 24 longer than usual tracks that was released in january 2017 and is stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during a one-year period. the 11th edition of the golden ravedays album will be released on hippie dance in november 2017. side a brings brothers. with two decades of spinning experience in disco’s, nightclubs, festival arenas, shady after-party zones and intimate studio soirees there is no doubt that superpitcher is seasoned in throwing a damn good party. brothers is party personified and a celebration of the night and the wise owls that respect its magical rituals. its ultra-chic disco groove and dreamy female vocals transport one to a carnival of blessings. side b features sleepy head, a hypnotic lullaby carefully tucked away in a hammock that rocks to and fro like dozing mermaids in a wavy curtain of seaweed. sleepy head is a smart artistic statement and whimsical pause just before the release of the grand finale of the the golden ravedays saga.

recently, superpitcher was invited to go on a safari in south africa. he bought a custom made safari hat at his favorite milliner in cologne (ju&#776,,,rgen eifler) and set off with big eyes and a pair of binoculars. it was wild and wonderful and he saw many exotic (and big!) animals, even a leopard in a tree that told him the secret of the universe. he forgot what the leopard said because his mind was still playing and replaying the sound of what he heard on the first night of his arrival – the hypnotic and moving sound of the voices of africa, the voices of the wonderful tanda tula staff choir. there, the choir members work during the day at the camp and at night entertain the guests with their captivating voices and energetic dancing. so impressed was he with their songs and beautiful shangaan language that he decided to record a cd for them to sell in the shop at their camp and now this precious recording is also available through hippie dance / bush recordings on vinyl and cd for you in whatever wherever camp you are. the lp of the tanda tula choir comes with a very pretty poster.

some records are timeless and never age - -happiness is just around the bend- by the main ingredient is one of those records. originally released in 1974, -happiness- was a record before it s time - had it been released a year later it would undoubtedly have been one of the first 12- discs - so as a result, most discerning djs at the time chose to play the album cut. the song is actually a cover of uk prog-jazz band brian auger s oblivion express s version from the year before but main ingredient took the song to a whole new level and, 44 years later, it has become one of the most revered dance tunes of all-time. main ingredient were unlucky with 12- releases, which is why we re delighted to give -evening of love- it s first-ever 12- release! once again this was a 1981 album track which years later it would become a modern soul anthem and rightfully be regarded as one of their best records. fully remastered on limited edition 180 gram heavyweight vinyl.

temple traxx is my brand new label specializing in material from the early days of techno and house. at the time i was living in nyc and ran the electronic record shop temple records and a weekly techno party called “killer” at legendary save the robots. i was releasing my music on force inc./mille plateaux, djungle fever/structure (now kompakt) or harvest/emi for europe and in the states with smile communication, direct drive, or freddy fresh’s electro imprint socket, besides my own temple records nyc, super-8, and el turco loco labels. now, 22 years later, i am excited to curate a new outlet for sleazy-machine-music called temple traxx in homage to the pioneers and early electronic music community i still call my friends: jammin’ unit, dr. walker, who together form air liquide, kerosene, dj silver (paolo dinola), bolz bolz, alec empire, freddy fresh, mike ink, and bionaut just to name the closest circle. all re-edited and freshly mastered. “bad computer” was originally released in 1995 on temple records nyc and is now the first 12” on temple traxx. produced by brother jammin’ unit, who also signed for re-mastering, and myself as bizz o.d. in wild pitch matters. cube 40 was always meant to be the ramones of techno by repeating the same track idea over and over. compare with “you make me function” and you’ll get the idea. currently in the temple traxx pipe-line: mass-turbator “s/t”, jammin’ unit “remote car baby”, khan & walker “schleichfahrt”, 4e, and captain comatose “$100” old and new mixes.

contact was established with thee j johanz after two full years of oblique telekinetic communication strategy and hiding cross stitched hieroglyphs depicting occult modes of interstellar travel in his “food waste only” bin. once we had captured his attentions, and several rounds of erotically intense negotiation later, johanz agreed to dig deep in his dat archives for unreleased, unheard and unassailable recordings from around the era of his seminal irdial discs ‘confidential’ sessions and allow us to put them into your earholes via the terrible step child that is our work for love label. three offerings from the golden era of british electronica are hereby presented and packaged with love for fans old and new. side a comes deeply carved with an alternative take of savanah from johanz’ confidential release while the b side holds a double dunt of unheard & relentless dance floor bangers unreleased #9 and choke me. all offerings are made with maximum respect for irdial

you probably don t know this disco banger, i think there is about 4 or 5 known copies on 7inch, everyone who has a copy has been keeping it quiet. i first heard it from david haffner about 4 years ago and had been after it since then. after a lot of research i came to the conclusion the everyone involved had passed away, but months after giving up after i spotted benitas full name on another related lp credited as a backing singer. i was then able to track down benita who was alive, well and surprised and very happy to hear from me. this one is a beast and will fly out (i find myself saying this far to often).

nice price deal !!! festland haben mit ihrem zweiten album ihre stilistische bandbreite erweitert und zeigen, dass sie ohne weiteres in der vorderen tabellenh?lfte intelligenter, tanzbarer musik mithalten koennen. sie haben mitbekommen, was sich in den letzten jahrzehnten in den spannenden nischen der popul?rmusik so getan hat, und verarbeiten all das, ohne irgendein genre nachzubeten. sie wissen, dass die aesthetische kraft von avancierter clubmusik noch lange nicht ausgereizt ist und dass einige von ihnen ab und an mal in einem hoersaal sa?en, hat auch nicht geschadet. texter fabian weinecke etwa fallen immer wieder sprachbilder ein, die irgendwo zwischen romantik und dem erbe franz«sischer denker aus der post-irgendwas-schublade oszillieren, ohne dass es angeberm??ig verkopft klingt. empfindsamkeit, groove und intellekt geben sich bei festland laessig die hand.

nice price deal !!! incl rmxs by malente & adam sky big with shir khan, boris dlugosch, jerry bouthier, malente, le hammond inferno, maral salmassi, ascii.disko, azzido da bass, after an athletic debut lp and an equally sweaty collaboration with adam sky weighing in heavily on the dancefloor, the world domination are building from strength to strength. it was only a matter of time then before luscious urged them to deliver their next punch! f**k machine, a track originally released on the duos debut album >heat<, is a seedy, anthemic floor-filler, combining their trademark electro-glam guitars, stomping drums and risque vocals. this is garage-rock for the noughties!

a legend to soul fans, his catalogue has been increasingly sought after by collectors and producers since the last time it was widely available nearly 20 years ago.

yet another solid gold modern reimagining of the mighty loleatta holloway, this time her infamous 1977 smash hit & run goes under the knife and is tweaked to devastating effect by 2 of chicago s finest modern day editors - jamie 326 & cratebug. anyone with even a passing interest in disco or house will be more than familiar with these 2 guys names. having edited and remixed numerous cuts in their own original ways, they take this all-time salsoul classic and strip it right back to the essence, to the very basics, and in the process create a total dancefloor weapon. this edit originally came out a few years ago (2013) on a compilation that showcased the new wave of contemporary talent emanating from the windy city and naturally it was one of the cuts that stood out, finding favour with a wide variety of dj s across the board from motor city drum ensemble, todd terry, jeremy underground paris, theo parrish and more. drawing comparisons with paperclip people s anthemic throw from 1994 in the way it snatches a killer loop from hit & run s bassline, hit it & quit it is a monster, a record you ll literally play over and over and over again, a relentless disco juggernaut that oozes power. it made perfect sense for this legit single-sided reissue 12- to come out on salsoul records, the home of loleatta holloway s finest material and all of her classics. this limited reissue has been made in conjunction with jamie 3:26 & cratebug and salsoul records, 100% sanctioned and lovingly re-presented for your dancing pleasure. this one is hot. sleep at your peril!
