tataaa! a full on 12- disco ep coming your way via the notorious frank music label. johannes albert – in italy they call him giovanni alberto – plays the rattle bass and bangs out the sweetest piano solo you will hear all year. „giovanni frizzante- it is. truth is he just watched a „how to make italo disco in ableton- tutorial and listened to another 238 lauer tracks for inspiration on top. accompanied by a more sample-laden arp-disco tune that won t give you any cure. added for good measure? jep, prins thomas diskomiks on the flip in all its glory. what could possibly go wrong?

man power has proven on many occasions to be adept at all manner of different moods within the hardware house canon, but on this occasion hes particularly focusing on creating an exotic feeling out of mechanical means. tropical bastard is a fitting title for this project for not an animal records, with the original steeped in driving patterns of rhythm and melody that approximate a flavour of far flung lands while mutating the feeling into something more club-minded. lord of the isles goes one step further with a remix that ramps the modulation up to devilishly wonky levels. tropical bastard 2inch is an entirely different beast that plays on a cinematic vision of tropical escape, but with an acid thread pulsing through it. then the frank butters remix finishes the ep off with a more submerged, but equally mischievous take.

originally released in 1979, now back on 180 gram double vinyl, housed in gatefold sleeve.

same track on both sides.

letting it rest was originaly released in 1986 on the new york based chapter 13 label. frank murillo played all the instruments and sings on this killer leftfield disco boogie cut with a heavy italo feel.

easy morning dancefloor vibes, with a hypnotic percussive groove sure to turn some heads.

is&#8203, frank butters&#8203, a new artist risen out of nowhere via incendiary releases on his own too many squares label, or is he perhaps an established artist taking a new direction? the only concession to this question is that he’s someone &#8203,man power&#8203, has known a long time, and one of his favourite new artists. franks &#8203,cult of glamour&#8203, focuses his early 80s proto-house aesthetic, with two machine driven cuts at differing tempos for opposing late night moods. for remix duties, me me me asked all time hero &#8203,andrew weatherall&#8203, to deliver his own version, and deliver he does with a swamp rock lead bellied organic take of &#8203,make it right&#8203, (as well as a digital only instrumental version). to close off the package man power has enlisted not an animal records mainstay &#8203,ess

the first track, moaning, has a linear feeling at the beginning: a layer of bass lines makes your feet move instantly until some subtle piano sounds come in at the perfect moment. it creates an atmospheric vibe and when the bass kicks in again, everything seems to fall into place. cosmjn’s interpretation is, as expected, more serious and it has a no-nonsense approach: stripped of the melodic piano sounds, a strong bass line takes over, which makes for an interesting contrast to the original track.
if moaning was a more gentle track, fr sa su is a little bit different: dance floor oriented, the rhythm is certainly higher and it has some intriguing background sounds that go hand in hand with the powerful bass that grows on you from the start of the track. the florian meffert remix closes this ep and it goes out on a strong note: it is a complex track with very different elements and sounds that complement each other just right to get things going.
with early support from: barac, mihigh, dubtil , cristi cons, petre inspirescu , sepp , crihan

pacific city sound visions take a walk into re-issue territory - a beautiful uncovering that fits neatly into this truly mind flixing catalogue... top tip!

nice price deal !!! minimal and deep-house rhythm with dreamy and constant >nu-trance< melody synth. weird riffs then switched by a dubby and kind of >detroit< styled pattern. the whole track is packed with a profound atmospheric idea and odd effects popping up

having made his label introduction with his remix of label newcomer villete’s “rillia-, darand land gets to spread out and show off his unique brand of euphoric and uplifting deep house on his debut ep for the label, ‘discover you’. the title track is classic darand land, with bright piano chords, buzzing organs and a thick chicago house bass line. siren-like pads fade in and out from the periphery, as electrifying percussion elements come into play. frank & tony take a turn and apply their signature style onto the former track, adding a chunkier kick with bright as day claps and hi-hats to propel the track through the opalescent haze draped over the melodic elements. on the flip, “marcela’s sense” is a blissed out, head down late night affair. cosmic pads swirl around glistening keys and repressed organ chords, as toms bounce among the steady hi-hat ride, lulling the listener into a state of euphoria. the ep closes out with the atmospheric, peak time detroit house cut, “souls awash-. a serpentine bass line runs the show amidst swelling pads and in-your-face kicks and percussion. as with all of his productions, the track shines in the smaller details that float in and out of focus throughout, lending the track’s weightier elements an even greater sense of gravitas.

having held it down in miami for some, avstin frank is building his profile as a serious connoisseur of stripped down jams with this release for local label sports. isle of venice is a perfect morning-ready treat, all woozy synth tones and delicate percussive shuffle embellished with dubby treatment, while timeless travels sports a tougher structure without losing the heavylidded quality of the opening track. contemplation meanwhile taps into a little touch of french flair with its shuffling groove and jazzy undertones, making a neat foil to the other tracks on offer. gua camoles remix of isle of venice meanwhile takes a diversion into nagging, oddball minimalism for the crowd who like their beats chopped up.

after 20 years as a dj and several releases on labels just like anthony rother´s datapunk, dave clarke´s whitenoise or co-labs with gez varley from lfo, frank kusserow took a longer break from the active electronic music scene. in the meantime he produced tons of new tracks that result in his new and vinyl only imprint sprow recordings.

moon is a discovery of iron curtis & johannes albert. before them boys drop their album they tease us with some rave informed jungl-ish techno (fyi - working title -shed-). the break? yes it is just long enough to go to the loo. flip comes with proto appealed trance in a classic executed electro-vain. so hop on your spacecraft and join ze ride.

cocoon recordings is back with another limited 10inch edition! scotsman vince watson and frankfurt cocoon family member frank lorber are in charge for our latest baby and with no exageration we feel this is going to be one of this years highlights! although hailing from erskine in scotland and meanwhile residing in amsterdam speaker freaker by vince watson appears like a detroit house gem in perfection! this is planet e, this is electronic art, this is a deeper than deep tech-house-lovers delight! if you missed the high times of detroit techno maester vince watson beams you straight back to it - however not without adding up to date soundscapes and frequencies. you might guessed it already and we have to admit: we really fell in love with this one… big time!

vinyl exclusive tracks on their third release of 2016, frank & tony streak back onto the scene with one of their most refined efforts yet, ‘harmonia. toms and effervescent drum patterning gets things started nicely on ep opener, seranade. swirling pads, alongside a driving two-note bass, lay the groundwork before siren-like synths call out as an incorporeal voice beckons, bring me all of your dreams, you dreamers. hardrian takes the tempo down, but ramps up the filth, conjuring dark, basement rave vibes with its propelling bass line and cavernous pads. shuffling hi-hats and billowing synths flitter in and out of focus making this one of the duos most hypnotic and psychedelic affairs to date.

frank & tony aka artists formerly known as adultnapper and anthony collins, respectively, are it again on the former s new york based scissor & thread imprint. first up -apprentice- is a well-crafted deep house cut with swirling, captivating pads that build to a climax. lamento with its sexy bassline, playing off the thumping drum programming and yet more swirling pads that they ve proven to do so well. lastly modest season is the sort of smoky, dubby, after hours house that swiss producer agnes was known for similarly, back in the day.

bologna s frank agrario decided to take destiny into his own hands earlier this year, founding micronation records as an outlet for his music. the ladonia ep - named after a disputed micro-nation in southern sweden - is agrario s second missive for the imprint, and features a particularly luscious, amospheric dancefloor roller named after the state s most famous landmark, a sculpture called -nimis-. arguably even better is -i played that track already , a dusty, detroit style deep house cut blessed with a bold cowbell line, sustained chords, and a nagging vocal hook. rick wade provides a deliciously deep and soulful interpretation of that track, while the softly jazzy, broken-house track -lesboa- is also worth a listen.

nice price deal !!! after >twister< and >view of life< this is the 3rd release for frank hunter on inigo kennedys instillation label.

nice price deal !!! big support from the ones like chloe, anthony colins, mr.statik, nihad thule matt star, nedzad berovic...

fresh off the heels of the success of their ‘waiting ground’ ep, the boys in black, frank & tony, are skating back onto the scene with another four track summer stomper, ‘under the jaguar sun’. the a-side starts things off with the titular track, a rollicking deep house number primed for sunset raves. a bouncing and lush bass line is the back bone of the track, as crisp hi-hats, distant, yearning pads, and shimmering bells propel dancers forward into eyes closed euphoria. things ramp up quickly into peak-time ecstasy on the breakaway edit of solo andata’s “a ballet of hands.” a whirling dervish of delicate music boxes, bowed guitars, delicate music boxes, and distant horns swirl around and weave in and out between a skipping drum pattern, pushing and pulling alongside a gruff and stuttering bass, perfect for those late night rooftop ventures.

frank booker is back down in the basement for the 3rd release on his hot new vinyl only imprint. the main man himself delivers the a side cut, which is a classic booker style disco jam. by now standard booker ingredients are served - super tight drums, funky bass, big strings, joyous horns, a wild piano riff - and the whole affair climaxes with a joyous vocal hook. irresistible stuff! on the flip side, frank s compadre dicky trisco drops another serious disco weapon that is guaranteed to kick-start any party with its chunky, funk-inspired sound. absolutely ready to tear up the dance floor at any moment, it is again the keys that really seal the deal here. both tracks have 100% got the funk and have been lovingly mastered for this limited edition 10 inch vinyl release. making this yet another stellar release on the down in the basement label - as you would expect!

for the opening ep from too many squares, frank butters manages to gene-splice together the raw dna from all of the ugly-beautiful sounds present in the birth of modern dance music. -conditioning for solitude- is the hum of dark tubes, the slice and hiss of sharp synthesised percussion and the scream of blissful dementia. the mutant that existed for a brief and joyous frozen moment while disco was still birthing house. -body burn” is the tropics with a black sun and africanism with a stopwatch instead of a heart. recalling experimentalist forays by the likes of liaisons dangereuses, patrick cowley and karen finley, the 2 originals on offer manage to recall the raw passion of an era without feeling contrived or derivative. the ep is rounded off by sheila fleurraters remix of * 3 minute warning* which continues the pioneer-ist motif, albeit allying itself with a much more early industrial aesthetic.

anthony collins and francis harris keep up the creative pace of their frank & tony project following the recent sprinkles collaboration, and once again a fine selection of tracks from their lp are on offer for deeper, more leftfield kinds of house record bags.love brut is an uneasy burner that uses a minimal amount of elements to create intensity, proving that simplicity is very often the key. the dub mix of resistance is exclusive to the vinyl, and it too keeps a stripped attitude in place with its plain and simple drums peppered with poised melodic content. villa seurat has a fuller range of percussion at work but there are no more fireworks to be found here than there are elsewhere on the ep, appealing to a more subtle kind of taste
