this is the third of the black dogs liber series of releases that are purely aimed at the dance floor. it follows the previous, well received liber kult & liber temple 12s, these singles all lead to liber dogma, due on soma in october, and further chapters. high rise choir reprise opens with clattering percussion taken straight from recordings at forgemasters before a face-ripping gut-wrenching bassline cuts through with one of the black dogs strongest minimal grooves yet. built to move heads and feet, the hypnotic groove hooks you instantly while the haunting strings bring the emotion in massive dark waves, you cant help but fall into this track. beautifully simple, addictive and massive. dissident bleep is just that. over the years the myth that sheffield is all about bleep and bass has gathered ground but those who live here know its all about the bass. industrial repetition gives way to twisted vocal samples of >over, over<, a sure-fire nod to cabaret voltaire, before the kicks and filters pummel you.

the black dog are a legendary live act whose ability to destroy venues and wreck soundsystems is undeniable. they blur the boundaries between djing and performance while possessing an excellent sense of where to take the crowd. live, they represent purist techno, which is also utterly crowd pleasing. on record, tbd are famous for delivering subtlety, emotion, and intellectual richness, as well as great tunes, but never in their career have they managed to convey the sheer visceral impact of their performances as on liber dogma. this album contrasts with last years extremely well-received ambient outings on music for real airports and the dadavistic orkestra collaboration with members of the psychick warriors of gaia. while none of the bands artistry and care has been lost, there is now a greater focus on a pure, and utterly exhilarating, vision of how techno can transform the dancefloor into a realm of complete pleasure.

three tracks by afrikan science, taken from their album of the same name. backed up with a remix by aybee.

aardvarck returns with his third full length album for eat concrete records. >anti concept< showcases a taste for deep ambient and minimalstic soundscapes, dub, detroit techno and bass heavy beats, mixed into a perfect flow. as the title suggests >anti concept< leaves aside musical genres and focuses on atmosphere rather than style. aardvarck carefully and patiently builds his own world of sound, adding layers and complexity with each track. these tracks bring mostly new material but also contain some of his earlier works on previous eat concrete and bloom releases, highlighting some personal favourites of his impressive output. enjoy!

having just celebrated its 50th release with photeks >closer< 12 inch, tectonic moves straight into bold new territories, introducing a new artist to the label: namely distal from atlanta, usa. his approach to music production is refreshingly dynamic and eclectic, taking elements of the familiar and making it sound obscure while injecting plenty of energy and dancefloor savvy throughout his productions. this first single for tectonic brings together two very contrasting pieces of music, both in terms of tempo and attitude.

grab your white laboratory coat, pull out the radioshack science kit, stick on that vhs copy of dr strangelove and enjoy these two beautiful, quintessentially english minimal wave tracks from synth pop duo oppenheimer analysis. science & washington are two marvellous and catchy treats that you would only expect from the rediscovered talent of andy oppenheimer and martin lloyd. remastered and presented on glorious 10 black vinyl, 45 revolutions per minute of pure genius! a classic release!

old chicago house heads trade mixes with ambient star. shifty sciences take on bvdubs track is euphoric dubbed out chordy house. bvdub does a very house version of shifty sciences track, which is more funky than you wouldd expect. limited hand-stamped release.

dust science is proud to present the second release from dadavistic orchestra, a collaboration between the black dog and 3 former members of fellow electronic pioneers the psychick warriors of gaia. dadavistic orchestras first release, >dokument .01<, showcased the two groups love for dadaism and all that it inspired. dokument .02 continues with this theme. where the first release was a double a-side of ambient electronic drone, dokument .02 is a six track album of beatless but very high impact electronics. each track weighs in at around 11 minutes of evolving, warm, and affecting analogue deepness. endlessly fascinating and continuously stimulating, these pieces are long, and yet highly economical.

mumbai science is mostly known for their club hits ancova and gold, which are still widely supported by artists around the globe (from 2 many djs, crookers and erol alkan to boys noize, tiga and beyond) now, they present their fourth ep on ll!

pole records presents reekos new release. the veteran spanish techno activist brings us three tracks that look at techno from three different perspectives. cyberpunk opens the release: ebm flavoured bass, compact beats, dreamy strings and sharp percussions that make this number a direct floor workout. dystopic futures has a funkier approach, with a shaker driven percussion programming, shuffled synth lines and crazy arpeggiated high-pitched frequencies. empirical science is a futuristic techno track whose analog synths grow and evolve as the track flows, seasoned with white noise drones and a constantly evolving structure. three tracks of intelligent and hard techno for your body and soul.

we warned you a few months ago: mumbai science is here to stay ... their ancova ep got major support over the summer from big names such as 2 many djs, boys noize, crookers, brodinski, erol alkan, ... (you get the picture)
mumbai science just finished its third ep on lektroluv records and they couldnt have picked a better name for its upcoming release: >gold< !
the new ep contains 1 mumbai science original, a remix by noob and a remix by nt89. you can decide for yourself which one is bronze, which one is silver and which one is gold. but one thing is certain: you will be taken to the next level.
mumbai science is here.

excellent funky jackin house traxx

after their first >woof ep< the question on everyones mind was: are they going to disappear in the mumbai masses or are they more then just one in a billion...? with the new >ancova ep< comes the answer to that question: mumbai science is here to stay. while working in dr. lektroluvs underground lab for a few months now, they improved their sound to a whole new level. with dancefloorbangers like >ancova< and >hoot<, its hard not to get cured... you say party, we say techno. whats next for mumbai science? the nobel prize?

mumbai science... sounds boring, right? dont worry, we are not talking about obsessed white-suit-scientists but about a duo of musicproducers working their way up the musicgame. after having worked on different projects in the past, they now join forces in what might be one of the freshest sounds you will hear this spring. they are debuting on lektroluv records with a three-track-ep including mumbai science originals woof, 3200 and coconuts: eastern vocals, southern bongos, western flows and northern coolness, that about sums it up. mumbai science will be all over the place in the next few months, so there will be plenty of oportunities too see and hear what the fuzz is all about!
if techno, kuduro and dirty house had a threesome, mumbai science would be the result.

fifth release in the series, and another top quality offering from the now infamous group of gold-diggers. known for pushing the razor-sharp edge of creativity against the neck of the edit genre with their critically acclaimed releases last year, the guys have come up with another cut-throat ep. includes contributions from the omnipresent jaz, and one from a special guest scientist who you may already know... strictly limited one-off pressing

this classic and legendary track from 79 belongs to the very origins of techno. it has been sampled by djs but was >impossible to find on vinyl<, now this finally changed! the track is back on vinyl and even includes some new remixes. danton eeproms remix a real club monster, and terence fixmer remix with an unexpected groovy mood sound, changing suddenly into a dark deep track. crash course in science have also reworked this year their own original mix and now deliver us a new version, that prove us that they are not out of date, but still remain the real brain of sounds, that for many artists has been the core influence of techno.

the eagerly anticipated fourth release on the well received beard science edits label! without a doubt our favourite release from them so far, ranging as it does from blissful balearic bubblers to top secret classic vocal cuts and hypnotic electronic disco. four killer and far less obvious tracks from various scissor wielding producers, head and shoulders (ahem !) above the competition.

this is the one you ve all been waiting for, the bad science ep from the mighty rustie. amazingly enough for an artist who has such an huge impact over the last year this is only his second full ep. i could go for on days about how good it is but best not eh. it all kicks off with the fractured hip-hop weirdness of tar and then swiftly moves into the massive bad science. we ve been seeing folk go crazy to bad science and rightly so, its an anthem and has getting properly hammered by kode9 and mark pritchard to name a few. its then on to the out there 8 bit bleepage of shadow enter. the b-side is now dedicated to the now legendary zig-zag and wireblock have really done themselves pround with this one by going straight to one of rustie s hero s the legendary henrich mueller (dopperleffekt, drexciya, arpanet etc) to add his own electro-physics sound to the aquatic mentalness of the original track. it comes to an end with zig zag (reprise), now the original was daft enough but this just to pushes it even further into new realms of madness. buy, buy, buy!

the boys from beard science are back with effect and once again they do not disappoint with a great selection of the finest re edits around! a1 is a cosmic slo motion disco vibe, very 80s with a great clavinet and drugged out synth sweeps – pass the ketamine love. a2 also on a slo motion balearic/baldelli tip. nice live bass and tribal drums. it sounds a bit like the theme tune to the kio ora advert – very catchy and extremely thirst quenching! b1 is a driving uptempo bassline driven disco track with phasing drums and italian vocal - very catchy again. b2 digital percussion, rocking 80s snares and a weaving and working bassline with an old...

hector moralez forms another formidable partnership with jump recordings dj jaz. coming from the west side offers 2 top notch original cuts and kicks off with a bang on a1. drive slow combines smooth female vocals with organic keys to create a deep twisted house groover. summer windy is a peak time affair that uses live sax loops and sleek beats and arrives just in time for the start of those hot summer months. hudd traxx label bosses slum science pick the pace up on the b side with a remix that would fit in well into sets of jocks like inland knights, dj heather, ralph lawson, chris carrier & dj raoul. the slumsters work out tough beats with clever stabs,...

the 7th release from tricksta recordings features up and coming breakbeat and electronic producer, rektchordz serving up his unique blend of dancefloor wizardry. with the original mix leaning towards a more conventional 4 to the floor, electro house influenced banger, on the flip side m.i. loki serve up a portion of skanking dub and breaks with a truly offbeat take on the original.

now up to its third release, soul science recordings continues to deliver high quality, soulful, deep electronic dance music with joel harrisons latest: high voltage. commencing with the original mix, this track does exactly what it says on the tin delivering electrifying, pumping,deep, nu school house. taking sparse electro bleeps as an introduction, the environment starts out building steadily with increasing urgency. utilising sweet and cleverly processed vocal samples as motifs, the track develops into a full on dancefloor mover, complete with thumping kicks, fat chord stabs (for fans of the original detroit masters) and a bouncing off kilter bassline - something of a harrison specialism... wearing his influences proudly on his sleeve, joel has created another sublime electronic deep house track for fans of spirit catcher, john tejada, freerange records and beyond...
