gaetano vinci a.k.a. hooved has been one of the most dependable producers on amam over the years, and more recently, his sound has mutated in some unexpected directions. thats why its high time to give our knob- twiddling satyr his own special catalog code from now on, and here we present amamhvd001, or for those of you who prefer titles instead of strings of letters and numbers, the timeless ep, his first 12inch of the year. the near-15-minute tmlss 1 begins with a 2-step beat, and as it unfolds, the beats only get more broken, causing a sense of auditory psychosis while somehow remaining calm, cool and collected.

after a bit of a hiatus, roots unit return with some deep house hybrids from their bulging vaults. learn to love is a melodic dub-house / techno infused big sound system warmer that comes from a studio session with former 2 lone swordsman keith tenniswood and will be familiar to those who tune into tim sweeneys beats in space show on the regular. morning sequence is a lovely early morning hypnotic slinky electronic house jam that gets under your skin and into your mind. this latter track is mutated into a heavy floor filler by mark e in full on peak time mode.

for those who know the story of the bridge wars, there is some irony found in the fact that scott la rock, representing the south bronx, was born in queens, though he did relocate to the south bronx at a very young age. after graduating high school la rock spent four years in vermont at castleton college where he earned varsity letters in basketball, but more importantly for the world of hip hop he became more and more enamored with music. on graduation he returned to new york and began working as a dj and as a social worker at the franklin armory mens shelter in the bronx. it was at the shelter that scott met kris parker and the duo formed boogie down productions. the rest, as they say, is history. roughly a year after the tragic shooting death of boogie down productions founder, dj and producer scott la rock b boy records and krs-one issued this special remix album, a man and his music (remixes from around the world). billed as a limited edition collectors classic the project was released in a limited run – briefly available in the 90s – and now after years of being unavailable reappears as a tribute to one of the genres early pioneers.

good things come to those who wait: the second release on the crazylegs label finally arrives in the form of an incendiary solo debut from nottinghams toyc. thats toy see — a name youre likely to hear popping up quite a bit over the coming months fresh from guest appearances on boiler room and bbc radio 1, ruffer and keyframe represent a bold snapshot of toycs unique sound: two dangerous slabs of light-footed, elastic bassweight that you may well recognise from the sets of jackmaster and ben ufo backing up the originals, an old vs new-skool grime soundclash, if you will — 8 bar pioneer youngstar and thrilling belfast newcomer bloom run amok with versions of keyframe. and finally the inimitable danny native twists ruffer into one of the most menacing pieces of dance music youll hear all year

rhodes dreamline by tasos giasiranis tasos giasiranis is one of those people that their birthplace is proud of having. born in rhodes island, he was the younger at age ever radio producer with his own show in the history of rhodes and as years passed he became the most famous person in the islands nightlife. his bio is full of trips around the world presenting his very friendly house style and being an ambassador for his favorite place in the planet, rhodes. in 2009, promoting rhodes was the idea of his first ever music compilation.

in january the debut album the damage is done by hot coins, the disco crossbreed project by danny berman (best known for his house productions as red rack em), was released. his personal time machine journey into the sights and sounds of downtown new york sometime around the late seventies/early eighties is much more than a tribute to his heroes of those times. its also a brilliant examination of todays club music.

we are pleased to announce the signing of dj/producer the last skeptik. following in the labels footsteps of releasing instrumental led hip-hop albums from j dilla, pete rock & will.i.am, skeptik will be releasing his largely instrumental album entitled thanks for trying in the spring of 2013. backed with an orchestras worth of musicians, the hip hop rooted production is taken to cinematic heights. this album will be a classic.

chasing voices breaks its short ceasefire and rearms for the 5th installment in the ongoing series of musical theses at the forefront of new york citys electronic scene. purging the emotional distance and ironic poise of an increasingly numb aesthetic culture, *awoken by tears* is the naked, stark and barren truth of a deeply sentient musical form. heartbroken and angry, this is the new techno militancy taking on the classic materials of creative drive: pain, loss, memory—those negative spaces of the human condition that lay waste to so many weak souls, leaving behind piles of dust and rubble in their path.

both known for giving the opportunity to french emerging talents to rise, inrocks lab and because music decided to work together in order to create a necessary take off platform highlighting those artists coming from the online and live scenes. this association aims to release every year a compilation of young artists who represent the future of the french indie-electro scene : the inrocks lab compilation.

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth arenÕt in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben vall¿e in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and vall¿e and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

this 7is a total must-have for the upcoming summer as well as for those rainy days that need some brightening up!

this is the second track taken from lewis parkers forthcoming album the glass ceiling. walking on a razor part 1 finds lewis demonstrating his skills on the mic over a raw, hard beat with those classic sounding lewis parker drums. meanwhile, on walking on a razor part 2, lewis called in two legends of the game, sadat x & shabaam sahdeeq, to lay two hot verses in among his own. this extended 12inch also includes two lewis parker remixes, plus instrumentals to all the tracks and an accapella. limited pressing so act fast.

a long time coming, the first ep from the mysterious duo bernadott finally reaches us. the golem first heard those tracks last summer and noticed his body was moving beyond his control! he therefore decided he should immediately enroll these beat-smiths before the competition took notice. introducing bernadott, the roof of love ep showcases the talent of two underground producers hailing from paris and stockholm, two diggers of the highest order, immersed in musique concrete, italo, free jazz, punk, chicago house and such, two djs devoted to tension, hips & shoulders. with upcoming releases on high profile labels, the golem proudly takes them to the forefront first, unleashing their highly original and leftfield take on the dancefloor. on side a, bernadott turns a white funk forgotten gem, expands it before turning it into a gherkin-esque acid burner with unexpected nods to juke, subtly returning to its post punk roots before you even notice. the golem also wanted to have a nice tune to share with his girlfriend, and he got his wish with side b, another post punk affair autistically turned into a dubby madchester piano choon, a quasi absurd but groovy breezy love song

coming back with a bang in 2012, craggz & parallel return with some eagerly anticipated new material in the form of the product placement ep. released on their own product imprint, it consists of two tracks that while different in style, still retain that certain kind of funk that has permeated through their music ever since those early releases on valve recordings right up to the guys most recent full length effort, the critically acclaimed turn the page lp.

sadly betty botox is no longer with us. she departed planet earth in 2010 and leaves a gaping hole amongst all those who knew her. she left behind a dat tape in her studio with the final ep written on the cover in lipstick, which her closest confidants feel she wanted to be her last statement to the world. so, after a slight delay, two years later, 4 tracks that were regular features in her musically wayward dj sets are now available for her to fans to hear and play. combining her love for psyche funk, cosmic synth, space rock and late 70s stadium rock these reworkings, remixes, refixes and reproductions of known and unknown tracks are sure to be hits on non-conservative dance floors everywhere.

we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.
comes as double 10 inch vinyl, including cd-version of this release.

another super cool release from this great new label.this time highlighting the skills of portuguese dj/producer joao teixeira who gives us a classy slice of a detroit house at its best. included is a silky smooth remix from james flavour (one half of dirt crew). a must for detroit deep house lovers! very limited pressing of 180 vinyls only,no re-press.bonus: free wav digital download for those who purchase the vinyl!

the situation crew have paid their dues with some of the better disco edits to surface in recent times - a particularly slick and slippery revision of a quantic standard for disco deviance still gets rotation from those in the know. its nice to see the slightly elusive five valley crew return to the art of the twelve inch with something a bit more substantial in form of a new label situationism and some original material for the debut . barcelona is presented in three different danceable situations (geddit) with the disco version a particular highlight. the excellent psychemagik are also called on to remix the track in their own inimitable somewhere between house and disco style

come take a journey down memory lane with us on back 2 the old skool garage classics, the greatest collection of garage anthems ever compiled!this essential album retrospectively maps out a journey through garage with over 60 vocal anthems across 3cds and provides a documentary of the seminal tracks which have shaped clubland and beyond. just some of the anthems on this epic anthology include shola ama imagine, monsta boy sorry and tina moore never gonna let you go alongside chart favourites like artful dodger movin too fast, dj luck & mc neat masterblaster, pied piper do you really like it and shanks & bigfoot sweet like chocolate. not forgetting the darker side of the bassline - those with a penchant for mcs can get their fix on early grime foundations from so solid crew 21 seconds,ms dynamite boo and oxide & neutrino bound 4 da reload.

2 tracks from the mc that brought you >lidl< and was guest vocalist on mias paper planes remix that went into the us top 5. he has been around the world, finished his degree, guested on dj shadows >i m excited< and is getting ready to break out properly on his own. this is a taster for his mini album that is coming very soon, two tracks that take him in two very different directions. kunta kinte is a classic slice of funky, south african inspired house/ garage. with a strong lyrical message ab takes it back to the time when mcs had something to say other than how fly they were (not that he isnt and he will do some of those). produced by dan anderson from nu sound therapy. the tune is hot! eba eater is a quality slice of african hip hop produced by las twofifteens. it bounces!

thanks to those whove supported auntie flo and the first two sell out releases. ahead of his debut album, future rhythm machine, wed next like to introduce the hotly anticpated remixes forthcoming on vinyl from pearson sound and newcomer sophie. stripping back the original pearsons signature sound is all over oh my days and includes mix-friendly intro. his take has been a staple in every set from the hessle audio gang for months and recently featured in his essential mix on radio one.introducing the talented sophie in whose hands, highlife is morphed into a rapture of synth-laden goodness. one to watch over the coming months. early support and people with kind words to say include ben ufo, jackmaster, blawan, erol alkan, optimo and capracara amongst others.

a gritty 90s style album for those who grew up on illmatic, midnight marauders, only built for cuban links, moment of truth, and ready to die. behind the scale shows the other side of what some are glamorizing about street life and drug trade. this is unfiltered, real shit on tape. some of the stories are inensly personal and sean second-guessed including them, but if it aint raw it aint real. behind the scale is about change, transition and growing up.

in the last couple of months the names taiki & nulight should have come across your paths. these 2 artists have been gaining respect from the likes of skream, benga, n-type, mistajam (and many more) and are set to blow up any time now. and because subway likes their beats fresh and new they are kicking off with these boys their very first release entitled the coming up ep. coming up is a 100 procent to the floor slammer wich sees the dubstep sound merging into more clubby territories. the 4x4 beat and soca influences make this track a unique piece of work that not alot of people can resist. get on this and get those ladies shaking their rear ends because once they start a skanking the men will follow. pure takes it back to the dubstep vibe we all know and love. a hefty skanker that will deplete any raver from any energy it has left. tearout basslines and insane switches make this one track that will destroy any dance! impulse is one of t&ns early productions but is not a letter track for that matter.its a mean destructive stomper that shows why these guys have been picked so early on by the subway label. it pounds,it shakes, it rattles & it wobbles. a deadly combination!watch out for more t&n releases coming up really soon on subway and labels like benga beats, sin city to name a few! play support comes from: skream, benga, n-type, walsh, mistajam, antiserum, unitz, dream, laxx, megalodon & tonnes of others!

the tribute series unearths yet another slice of musical magic for those special dance floor moments. number 6 in the series, we love rose, captures familiar sounds, but then pushes them out to as yet unexplored territory. rumoured to be the work of an aussie based late nite tuff guy, he has certainly reworked this all time classic into something very special for your ears. cut loud on single-sided heavy vinyl, you can enjoy it on the beach, in the basement, or on any kind of dance floor.

audio phreaks are proud to present an astonishing new ep from their exciting new signing, diesel! diesel has been locked away in the studio perfecting his sound to a very high production level and you can instantly hear this boy has been putting in the hours since his earlier recordings. his productions are just insane and are certainly not for those who are looking out for an easy listen. basslines and beats collide with some very imaginative arrangements that make up a truly unique and distinct sound that only can be associated with the rising young talent that is diesel.

the rastafarian roots reggae singer brings a majestic touch to the songs he sings, which are deeply infused with his beliefs. with a sense of reverence that only a solemn, pious man as prince alla could put into song, this collection centres on tracks recorded at lee perry-s black ark studio. having spent his early days living in rasta camps & working as a singer for joe gibbs, it was at greenwich farm that prince alla (born keith blake) crossed paths with tapper zukie who was so blown away by alla-s songs he initiated the recording sessions. this release compiles those songs & their extended versions alongside 3 classic extra cuts, -hail rastafari-, -black roses- & the sublime -royal throne room-.

the next release coming out of the roska camp is this smart vinyl-only followup to the roska allstars release. this second instalment brings more of the same versatile movements from some fantastic producers currently leading the way for upfront danceable material. main man roska signs up terror danjah to pull of a smart remix of his track >without it<. its somewhat of a guilty pleasure hearing both artists signature idents in one song, terror with his evil gremlin laugh and roska with his ubiquitous shout out! however its all about the arrangement here as terror reforms those original trumpet sounds and adds some heavy distorted bass. j:kenzo serves up >let it move< which is all out pure electro style with punchy drums and dirty synths, again lending to the surprising nature of this labels output. tickles completes the vinyl only package with >da growler<. drums are tougher than iron and bass harder than rock as tickles blends funky, dubstep and house into his own dance-floor destructive mould. all three records show a different side to the current uk bass and funky scene, yet they somehow could only belong on kicks & snares. a fine package for a burgeoning label.

silent dust is the project of uk duo dan blishen (originally from manchester) and andy hobbs (hailing from kent), who produced drum & bass together for years under the respective monikers zyon base and hobzee. their self-titled debut,silent dust,brings their signature d&b sound into a different light, drawing from a wide range of influences - ambient, drum & bass, garage, dub, breakbeat and soundtracks. the result is a collection of deep, bass-laden productions that sound like absolutely nothing else, filled with lush arrangements, an array of found sounds (footsteps, vinyl crackle, sellotape stretching), cinematic vocal samples and glitchy, idiosyncratic drum programming. the album travels through a wide range of emotions and sounds - from the sublime intensity of the giant (equipped with floating operatic samples and tight drum programming) and the dark atmospheric grace of marlowe, to the weighted basslines of the club-suited zero nine zero and the sheer beauty of winter song lined with strings and a reggae-tinted vocal. though its driven by experimentation, this is a d&b record at heart: even the ambient tracks were written at 160-170 bpm. their debut album was originally signed to soul:r, but was pulled at the last minute: the duo bravely opted to start their own label, none60, to release their tour de force.silent dust is a downtempo, atmospheric album that will become an instant favourite for open minds, and for those who seek something new. one of the most unique records to come out of d&b this decade.

jazz cinema 2, a touching remembrance of poignant love, takes you swimming through the joy of music and serenity and entering into a time of majestic legends. the performers in this album includes jamie cullum, one the most popular jazz singers in the world, stacey kent, a grammy award nominee, peggy lee, who has a great reputation in both singing and film career, nat king cole, one of the most legendary jazz singers, louis armstrong, the swing star, billie holiday, and ella fitzgerald, two of the most honorable jazz queens. their renditions of songs are from inception, the english patient, un homme et une femme, cars, oceans 11, casablanca and the curious case of benjamin button, those romantic melodies which is to remind you of the classic stories and write you an most unforgettable and delicate note in life.

akira kiteshi has carved a special place for himself in the hearts of many by skewing the instant gratification of dubstep bangers to preserve his roots in the wonky and broken. in the run up to his forthcoming album akira kiteshi throws yet another curve ball into the face of those who seek to label and limit the electronic music pioneer.
>transmission< is a slice of hands in the air euphoric anthemia in the key of joy o or jamie xx.
>give it up< in yet another massive turn left ak twists the beats into uk funkee mode to produce yet more dancefloor detonation.
support: huw stephens radio 1, mary anne hobbs xfm, jackmaster, fantastic mr fox ...

ex-harry pussy guitarist bill orcutt s 2009 side a new way to pay old debts was an instant classic for those attuned to his brand of stomach-scrapingly raw, hoary blues improvisation. few could have expected the album to be subsequently issued on cd by editions mego, but the more you thought about it the more it made sense - though all-acoustic, orcutt s music is every bit as extreme, violent and threshold-testing as that of, say, florian hecker, russell haswell or mika vainio. as if to prove it wasn t a token gesture towards eclecticism, mego boss peter rehberg has signed a brand new album from orcutt, and what an album it is. for the most part it s in that visceral, coruscating style that he s best known for, all finger-bleeding fretboard assaults that manage to sound at once virtuoso and completely out-of-control, reaching a psychotic climax on the visible bosom: but there are some more reflective passages too, hell, the title track might even be the most chilled thing he s ever recorded. the album was cut at d+m in berlin, which really teases every last drop of blood, sweat and tears out of the recording, which took place at orcutt s home studio in san francisco in spring of 2011. brutal, bludgeoning but incurably romantic, how the thing sings demands your steadfast attention. mind-blowing.

being a product of the age it was written, slow clubs 2009 debut, yeah so, dealt with the all too familiar space between adolescence and the oncoming storm of adulthood. a boy-girl duo who played a flower-adorned chair live, they were the polar opposite of what was coming out of post-arctic monkeys sheffield. slow club were fun, cute, whimsical and all manner of other words just shy of twee - and they hate being called twee. paradise, however, is where the duo grows up. two years on, it stumbles out of a trivial, self-indulgent teenage malaise (where sexual adventure was priority for most) and carries itself with a sense of perspective that only adulthood can give - a darker, more thoughtful view of the world. for instance, on the poignant you, earth or ash, a song about rebecca taylor s granddad, her melancholic vocals (beautiful, as always) evoke an awareness of mortality for those around her: singing -and i know, soon you ll go,- her voice seemingly breaks under the weight of premature grief. whereas even love-wise (an inspiration every band draws from) slow club s lyrical output is glossed with a more mature and detached sense of sauce, with taylor crooning on where i m waking: -i can see you looking at me / you got the brains i ve got the body-.

so we went predominanlty stateside for our last outing, and decided to bring things back home this time. hoya003 is a strictly uk affair. opening up on the a-side is one of rudest producers and djs the uk has going for it. this aint a comment on her manners though, they are as impeccable as her production. after ikonika sent us a zip of some hoya potentials, we just knew >fleas< had to be the one featured on this 12 inch. a more sinister, rolling, emotional jam, it still packs as much as punch as ikonikas dj sets. kicking off the b-side is the homie om unit. now, this guy … this guy. are there any superlatives left to desribe his sonic masterpieces that have rocked too many dancefloors and had as many producers scratching their heads and re-assessing their mix-downs? an instant favourite, >fibonnaci 10< was one of the earliest cuts lined up for a release and when you listen you will see why. this guy. seriously. bringing things to a close, we hand over to one of our favourites from the flourishing cardiff scene. why doesnt monky have more music out? is one of those questions that has been asked too many times for our liking. so much so, we may have to take it upon ourselves to change that. but, for now, just enjoy >hipster<. a killer synth-laden nod to early ukg, but looking forward as opposed to sideways. enjoy.

after the darkness of rabid dogs ep black sunday recordings now brings you a new summer-ish release by rotterdam based producer the eerier child. heavenly creatures ep starts off with the soothing downtempo track rec, exploring the depths of your subwoofer with a kick-ass kickdrum. the melancholic sounds of into the sun (vip mix) are familiar to those who have been listening to the cd album >frequencies of the mind<. this album was released in may 2009 featuring various artists. now the track has been re-mixed and re-mastered especially for this 12inch release. thunderball will lure you into deeper realms with a triggering wobble that will boil up your engine. the fourth track deep red is drenched in gloominess, with laidback grooves and smooth synth lines. with day the adventure slowly becomes dim as you enjoy the sun setting down, entering the beginning of a new dark night

dance to the radio have teamed up with their good friends brew records to bring you a very special and limited edition 10 inch ep.
with leeds currently at the forefront of the uk alternative rock scene, this release is further proof of why its the place to be. from the straight up power hardcore rock n roll from dolphins (ex this et al) to the expertly executed noise rock of blacklisters, the noise hop of castrovalva and the fantastically skewed, melodically-inventive hawk eyes (previously known as chickenhawk & their first release under the new name), this is not a release for everyone. those of a nervous disposition need not apply.

hectic times require adequate measures. shorten the text message, shorten any url, filter a newsfeed to make a broadband broader - in any way, take a shortcut wherever you intend to go. while the world is struggling for convenience, those who chose the road less travelled will soon become - or already are? - outsiders. in many ways this is the case of jacek sienkiewicz - with over 30 releases behind, and over a decade of running his own label, he persistently followed his very own path, creating music that very soon began to be impossible to define. friendly, but not fraternizing with everyone and his family, modest, but stubborn only in a positive way, jacek is an individual with clear, personal vision and an unorthodox approach to music - light years away from the hectic, utilitarian ethos of club-derived electronic beats. and this story finally took shape - at the same time rock solid and otherworldly ethereal - in the form of “on the road , without any doubt one of the few rare records, this complex and challenging, to be derived in recent years from the music formerly known as techno. this album successfully attempts to embrace virtually all aspects of modern electronic music - from rave-like club bangers, through detroitish passion and deep house-like style, towards ambient soundscapes that are mariana trench deep

after the massive success of >dubsteppa<, no comply returns with two tracks aimed purely at the dancefloor. this is high-energy, contemporary dubstep at its finest. for those of you looking for sure-fire dancefloor smashers û this 12 inch certainly wont disappoint. keeping with the usual style, this 12 inch is hand-painted, and individually numbered, and extremely limited. the previous two releases are now very hard to find, so dont sleep on this.
dj support from: mistajam, rob da bank, caspa, trolley snatcha, 16bit, stenchman, funtcase, inspector dubplate, subscape, propatingz, mrk1, genetix, persist, suspect.

his release on jeff mills axis sublabel 6277 was the first in a series of amazing records, which made johannes volk become a very well known and highly acclaimed producer, liveact and dj. his initial appearance on heliocentric music features a stunning dancefloor bomb, which will spark large-scale-fires in clubs around the world.
the second track on this record comes from label-owner myon, who again delivers an epic journey through the periodic table of techno. for those, who listen closer!

after leaving behind the somalian pirates, geiom is cruising the sunny waters of the indian ocean when he picks up a distress signal on his scanner. he follows the signal until he locates a tiny remote island and a guy called bowly, who said that he was on his way from france to the new world, but got totally lost. judging by the age of the map he was using its easy to see how. bowly spent his time on the island hanging out with the locals who amuse themselves by creating a unique style of music on some amazing handcrafted instruments. geiom helps bowly get on his way again, and leaves him with a more useful map. some months later, bowly beams over his music as a gift from his new found homeland in canada ? the tracks are like some strange mutation of those distant tropical players and the uk-based pirate radio transmissions that bowly has been tuning into ? geiom loves the result and decides to send them straight over to transition in london for mastering and release on berkane sol. this 12 has been getting played by selectors like ? subswara crew nyc (soul motive), brackles (rinsefm), grevious angel (soul jazz), martin kemp (blunted robots), cooly g (hyperdub), shortstuff (ramp), spamchop (wigflex), oneman (rinsefm)?

this is a journey into our sound! an album in a reserved spiritual cast, thats complete down to its individual tracks. spin this record any way you please. from a pure jammed out playfulness there grew a sparkling conversation between the winds and those with keys and sometimes a rugged funk, others a finely-sensed jazz, and then completely improvised. a music with value added for an urbane, scenic people and for everyone whose heart beats along.

new exclusive tracks from henchs headman alongside those from komonazmuk, chasing shadows, lost and giant, as well as providing a platform for debut hench releases from minus, tek-one and mensah.

in the spirit of exploring the influence of this material over the past decade of electronic and indie music production, phthalo has asked several artists who have said they were inspired by dntels >early works for me…< record to re-approach those songs with their own modern and varied takes on the source material. >early works, later versions<, a limited 12 inch record of new, updated remixes and variations on last years >early works for me…< album by several of jimmys current peers and modern contemporaries.

for the first release in 2010 electric minds present ly sander & michael j collins. with ly residing in geneva and michael in denver, it was soundcloud that brought the pair together through an appreciation of each others productions. independently both producers have a solid background in music. electric minds welcome both producers and look forward to the impact their ep will have on the ever changing house music community. all three tracks are mood inspiring productions, subtle and simple in places they will appeal to those that like their music deep and with a touch of soul.

here comes the first release for the new decade! king dk allows us a glimpse into his darkmind with his new single. the outcome is an outstanding genre mix of melancholic dark popish elements which are surrounded by a fat baseline. the extraordinary vocals by claudia fink polishes up a unique track perfectly made for those cold winter months.

one of those records that is just out of this world! the day has finally come that anto vitale makes a return to seasons limited and brings the beautiful and soulful tamara wellons along for the journey! anto vitale first landed on seasons limited in 2008 with his debt record >majico<, which was a beautiful masterpiece that weaved its way through african and techno rhythms and tore up dance floors world wide! anto vitale comes home with another record that just blew us away, featuring the beautiful vocals of one of our favorites tamara wellons. this is one of those records that is just out of this world!

its been a hot minute since we dropped an official street bass release, but the wait has definitely been worth it. this ep is a preview of the heat that will be the >street bass anthems volume 4< mixtape, hitting on cd and digital this fall.
for those uninitiated, street bass is what starkey and dev79 have coined for their unique interpretation of bass heavy urban music. the first three volumes of the mixtape series (and the associated singles) have been runaway successes in the clubs, on the streets, and with the press!

first release from this exciting new spanish label focused on future synth beats with enough funk to appease george clinton. this is the first release too for the spanish beatmaker hybakusha, a pioneer of the skweee sound in spain. gameboy lover is a noisy 8 bit robotic skweee track which mixes chip tune drums and cutting edge filtered synths in a crazy groove. on the other side there is a mesak remix of the same track. for those of you who have been napping for the last few years, mesak is one half of the electro outfit mr velcro fastener, he has released solo material on dexters klakson label and is one of the most prominent heads on the skweee scene. his remix treatment takes the track into more spacey and deep territory, giving this record the official and personal stamp of the finnish skweee.

*ltd white vinyl copies*
tube10 returns to the scene again with a release to blow your minds away. this time its the greek formation ekelon. their debut on planet mu with headhunter on mary anne hobbs evangeline had us in our grasp so much that we couldnt help ourselves then to hit them up and see what whould happen. tube10 005 is the result of this encounter and it shows ekelon flexing their crossover sound like no other. is it techno? is it dubstep? we dont know but we sure as hell love both tunes to bits!
the a side evidence - a steady tune in the ekelon sets and lots of others aswell. feel this tune filling up the speakers and rumbling up those subs we thought where lost.. a perfect blend between all that is experimental while keeping it dj friendly..flip it over for freeze land.. an chilled out tundra of techno, thats how we like to call it.. frozen subs combined with defrosted stepping vibes ensures this to be a solid first release for the ekelon boys.. and dont worry this wont be their last!
