*it all started in 1974 with the purchase of my first mini moog and another 70s dream machine, a white mellotron m 400.* so starts klaus hoffmann of his 40 years love affair with the mellotron. moving from prog-rock guitarist to cosmic disco warrior in a space of a few years, the birth of cosmic hoffmann would lead to a number of classic kosmiche albums through-out the 1980s. before this though came space-disco. initially recorded in 1978 after endless late night sessions exploring the new realms of this free form electronic music, the first incarnation was recorded live to tape for a failed film project. an uplifting spaced-out synth journey, it was the later reworked version that would go on to become the lost cult classic. with added disco syncopation taking the track into interstellar spheres, it appeared only as a flipside of cosmic hoffmanns first and last single, *weltraumboogie*, in 1982. unfortunately the release did not make much impression at the time but has become highly sought-after for the more leftfield dj and music lovers in the years since. now fully licensed and remastered, the inclusion of the unreleased 1978 original will be only add to the collectors dream.

fresh from producing kanye west, remixing woodkid and releasing two blazing hip-hop-influenced mixtapes, late night alternative and the purple ride, brodinski continues to spearhead the new wave of french electronic dance music with this brand new club orientated collaboration with multi-talented rapper/songwriter theophilus london.

you just love you heavies up the vibe with a stomping slice of expertly crafted filter disco. a tried and tested formula of course, but in the hands of a master like recloose, the result is a fresh, floor filling anthem chock full of peaktime energy.

guy andrews has been a prominent name on the underground circuit as of late, racking up a reputable back catalogue with releases and remixes for the likes of hotflush, hemlock and the vinyl factory. andrews has seen heavy support on the aforementioned singles from the likes of lorca, the black dog and a1 bassline, testament to his classy, understated take on house and techno. here guy joins the fina records roster, following a release from dfrnt, a striking indication of the attentive a&r approach of the label so far this year.

ein aeußerst kraftvolles stück tanzflurglorie tritt hier an den geneigten hoerer heran und bezeugt erfolgreich das feingeschliffene koennen gui borattos mit tracks, die zum besten aus gezaehlt werden koennen, was ihm bis dato aus den potis geflossen ist. ein perfekter grund, um endlich mal wieder die beste tanzmontur aus dem schrank zu holen

second part by joss moog for his forthcoming album.

atlanta-based helix expands on the techno/grime hybridity hinted at on his hit drum track 12 inch with the newest instalment of night slugs club constructions series. it is apt that some of the original material shortlisted for this release was lost to the digital tides, subsequently having to be restored or rebuilt in night slugs london studio during a visit by helix in late 2012.

following on from the success of artifacts the way it do/we trapped, the somethinksounds cartel rolls on picking up even more steam this time calling on the untapped talents of lokiboi who serve up the insatiable ʻlate reaction epʼ which features a collaboration with love fever darling citizen. having appeared previously on kolour recordings as klic (aka medlar) & lokiboi, this is his first solo appearance and his first opportunity to demonstrate his unbelievable studio skills.

nice new release by joss moog on robsoul with funky beat & moody vibes. check this one.

after his excellent and well-received coded emotion ep on the mos label in late 2011, analogue fetishist perseus traxx returns for another mos outing. it finds the producer in similarly classic mode, exploring the deep down depths of house and techno in his own fuzzy and hugely atmospheric way.

deep&disco recordings presents chicago-based band the right now with *call girl*, a gritty piece of live retro-soul with a package of varied and unique mixes. the a-side kicks off with hot toddy turning the funk up a notch in his characteristically musical way, in a mix that layers new live elements over the original and builds to a dazzling peak. following that is the original version: a straight-to-tape recording of the band with lush keys, tight rhythm section grooves, horn stabs, and vocals that drip with soul. then on the b-side, dicky trisco turns in a deep and dubby late-nite disco burner, and label head jkriv takes the tune into old-school house territory with thumping 909 drums and bouncing piano stabs. early dj support from kon, 6th borough project, lovebirds, ooft!, jacques renault and more.

toolbox is very proud to introduce you to this exceptional records!this realeease was planned to be killit17, on kill out recordings...in 1993!this is an anniversary realese:tunes are 20 years old and were never played niether on vinyl.this limited 300 copies edition is a real big thing for all acid music lovers.

the moons sind ein in london ansässiges und aus northhampton stammendes quintett, das sunshine-pop mit zeitlosem britischem songwriting kombiniert. >jennifer< ist die zweite von drei limitierten singles aus dem demnächst erscheinenden zweiten album >fables of history<. zusammen ergeben die single-cover ein gesamtkunstwerk. die band besteht aus frontmann, sänger, songwriter und gitarrist andy crofts, der bei paul wellers band an der hammon-orgel sitzt, james bagshaw (gitarre), ben gordelier (schlagzeug), thomas van heel (keyboard) und thomas warmsley (bass).

tommy stewarts disco love affair is the sound of hotlanta nightclub music in the late 70s. thats right - cultures of soul is bringing you an album of sensual disco delights from classic producer / composer / arranger / pianist tommy stewart. stewart is already well-known among disco collectors for his track >bump and hustle music< as well as his studio work with artists as diverse as major lance, tamiko jones and loleatta holloway.
disco love affair features 14 cuts of rare disco funk. this includes the great disco jams >pay the price<, >party nights< and >hotbox<, as well the brilliant unknown modern soul track >universal love<. featured are two cuts reworked by famous disco dj/remixer al kent. this album also contains two unreleased tracks, >night flight< and >beyond love<, taken from the vaults of tommys private archives.

including remixes by dj mfr & kiko navarro.

with the third release still occupying both the charts and dance floors, as universal plaudits ripple through the great disco ensemble, hods fourth release busy tone will no doubt be greeted with the warm embrace and support it so richly deserves.

the ninth release from the mainrecords shop, on its eponymously titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from matt star, plus a remix from perseus traxx. with well over three dozen releases under his belt in one guise or another matt star aka mattias schildger is no stranger at all to production of high quality electronic music, as this latest ep clearly displays. happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with its tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of ed dmx, while others lend more of a chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the cars windscreen. perseus traxx delivers a subtle remix that remains true to the elements of the original and while adding a booming kick and some of his own production techniques, influences and grit to the mix, shows he isnt stuck in one genre or sound.

for their second release, works the long nights are proud to present an ep from sunil sharpe, one of irelands most celebrated underground djs and producers. since late 2000, sunil has gained a formidable reputation as a dj for his quick fire mixing and fast paced sets and, similarly, as a producer for his distinctive style of club music that fully encapsulates irelands rich heritage and relationship with techno. he is a mainstay of the scene in ireland, responsible for a label/vinyl store (earwiggle), a series of one-off events in dublin (hosting guests like planetary assault systems, cj bolland, perc and adam x) and a show on national radio (rte 2fm s late night sessions) and it is, undoubtedly, a great honour to welcome him to the label. sheworks002 arrives off the back of fantastic recent releases for black sun records, komisch (as tricaustic with jon hussey) and labrynth and features four diverse tracks of dark, raw and uncompromising techno pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, mastered at d&m and distributed by rubadub. support from sigha,shifted, truss, rivet, darko esser, ben ufo, inigo kennedy, northern structures, kriz token, perc and more

great 12 inch featuring two superb rarities from renowned disco label sound of new york. run by legendary producer peter brown, this small harlem-based imprint garnered a massive reputation in the late 70s and early 80s turning out some of the best disco tracks ever made. first up here is ny disco funk favourite >dance freak< from chain reaction. produced by peter brown himself, this is pure dancefloor dynamite, as raw and funky as it gets with pumping horns, grinding bass, wild percussion and crazy synths building steadily to a high-octane blistering dancefloor freakout! on the flip is the equally fantastic >shout at the disco< from little scotty, another relentless rough grooving jam, also produced by the prolific mr b. with both these tracks super-expensive and extremely hard to find in the original, don t miss this chance to get your copy!

this sampler is strictly limited to 300 copies... the future disco series has become the essential collection for anyone with a house and disco musical obsession. the fifth volume: downtown express takes us on yet another journey into all the current must own dancefloor cuts. the limited samplers have become highly sought after collectors items in their own right by taking key tracks from the albums and exclusively making them available on 12inch vinyl. we open up with moon boots off my mind on the a side which has been tearing up dancefloors all over the world for the past month with its infectious 80s groove and chopped up longing vocal. as we flip over onto the b side metromony need no introduction having been nominated for a mercury music award for their album the english riviera. album track corinne has been remixed by super producer mario basanov who has kept the songs structure intact but given the record a dancefloor vibe that will feel a natural choice for 4am. finally something happened is a huge looping disco cut reminiscent of the late nineties, pittos instrumental remix makes it unrelenting and very effective on the dancefloor with its big build ups and even bigger drop

the back on track vinyl collection takes one of the most seminal and classic new york house labels of the late eighties and early nineties and lets the sort after producer nicholas painstakingly update the sound for 2011. this special edition collection is made of three limited edition heavy weight 180 gram vinyls with printed sleeves. each four track ep is individually coloured to make the complete set of three, light blue, orange and dark blue. on each ep there are four nu groove tracks re-edited by nicholas that include vinyl only exclusives. the collection reinterprets classic nu groove artists including bas noir, roqui and n.y house n authority.

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

mysterious newcomer jamie blanco displays a clear skill in assembling the kind of raw, atmospheric late 80’s chicago house so close to our hearts - the kind of late night jams which can just as easily roll in and out of string drenched disco cuts as they can moments of strobe-lit intensity. beautifully executed, and another sureshot from cynic!

already support from pezzner, jimpster, peter kruder, funk d void, roberto rodriguez, stevie sole ...

the sound of the late great fitzcarraldos is like sand between your toes. bittersweet love songs paying homage to otis redding, brian eno, john cale and luther vandross. this is sophisticated melodic luxury music for a generation that has the history of music up their sleeve, but really just want to meditate.

blue skies and late nights, camp fires and cheap delights and whisky drained straight from the jar. in a hammock slung below a sky of dreams and sea of stars lay a pop princess and a hip hop pioneer, arms entwined and eyes locked into each others stare they whisper sweet – nothings to each other, >you re flash< he says >take it slow< she purrs back >and dont even dont think about going down under!< a mile or two out to sea, floats what has come to be known as a mega-yacht. aboard his life like an episode of mtv cribs but with more parties and less gold-encrusted pool tables. surrounded by beauties by the bevy and sipping on gin and juice, duff scans the horizon with his telescope (solid platinum, encrusted with diamonds, built in infa red) and spies young love or a new hope. smiling to himself he thinks >they look different, younger perhaps at least changed, if not for the better but changed at least which is surely a good thing<. he turns to the girls on the boat, one hand pointing to the shore and the other raising his drink to the sky he shouts >i helped create that<.

quality reissue of the mega-rare blow up records release of the italo masterpiece pink footpath by loui$. originally released in 1985, this gem has become one of the most highly sought after italo disco tracks around. on the a side is magic dance which is good, but it’s the instrumental version of the track pink footpath that really gets the disco djs drooling. with its killer analogue b-line, dreamy synths and balearic guitar riffs, its easy to see why it became such an anthem at the early ibiza parties as well as a late night favourite in chicago and new york. highly recommended.

the guy on the couch is the new project of andy rk and the infamous duo of the analogue cops. >golden lady< is a techno flavored house e.p. that will blast every dancefloor. it has been written, mixed and produced at the restoration headquarters with the use of any computer. the tracks has been premastered by the analogue cops in their raw and compromiseless way.
the short a side is so mighty that it has the power to stop time. the beats are tight and the influence of the artists of the second detroit wave is vivid.>the last word< is an evocative deep house track enriched by numerous samples of old crispy records. smooth and addicting, its a late night tune.>drei hunde< has a funky hypnotic groove that set off a wild pitch hook. just six minutes of danger.

walter merlin jones is a perfectionist. a presence in the house scene since the late 80s, the dj and producer has, over the years, created thousands of undoubtedly wonderful, but unfinished, songs – a staggering collection of musical bits that have fallen victim to his tendency to be his own worst critic. yet, that same perfectionism has yielded some of the most engaging dance music of the last decade, however scant – songs that are aural proof of his preference for quality over quantity. joness first dfa release, 2009s >ill keep on loving you/living without your love<, confirmed his commitment to this idea with subtle grace and slow, seductive rhythms. now, with graceful exit – which pairs joness talents with singer ellipsis, boston producer chas bronz and saxophonist jesse allen — the new orleans-raised artist continues to showcase his discerning ear, proffering music with a modern, evolved take on discos very best virtues.

now a full time member of australian super group empire of the sun and 1/3 of the genius of the swiss we honestly dont know how sid found the time to make this heated late night gem. all we do know is arthur russell was integral in his life when he turned it out. echoed moans and whispers, chunky bass line, percussion, arrangement and everything else involved in this 8 minute and 22 second burner are all by the shirtless gentleman of the night you now know as sidwho? session victim is matthias reiling and hauke freer, their house and techno adventures on delusions of grandeur and retreat records have been rinsed out many a time at our future classic parties and all around the world so we knew it was time to get a remix. some guys and gals might think this is too deep or minimal, you just need a bigger sound system!

g.i.disco - an 80s history of cold war s hottest music in west-germany berlin local dj heroes kalle kuts and daniel w. best a.k.a. g.i.disco have compiled an excellent 80s soul, funk, r & b and disco selection. it combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the german historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by berlin based photographer frank thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. soul, funk and r&b from the us became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned disco. in the late 70s and 80s more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving it s soul untouched. although a global success story, it played an interesting role especially in the german experience. lp comes in gatefold sleeve.

for the 50th release creme goes back to its italo roots to release these two bombs. ofcourse the rotting corpse of italo has been desecrated endlessly over the last few years by predatory hipsters to gain scenepoints, but that doesnt mean there isnt still some joy to be found in the oversatured tearjerking cotton candy sound of true mediteranean peacockery. so it is with some smug gratification that we present to you gino felino. pure, uncut and real to the bone italo - definitely too late for the trend, but perhaps coming soon to an ipad near you. listen and learn, cause none of you clowns roll like the west coast rolls! comes in a ultra neat package!

earwax is very proud to present this huge 12 inch from >purple trinity< producer gemmy, guaranteed to cause serious sonic pressure on a dancefloor near you! >maroon chant< is possibly one of gemmys biggest tunes yet, a carefully crafted dancefloor monster brim with catchy purple melodic synths and heavy weight bass. the intro leads in with a looped tribal chant as the pattern is sucked into rolling snapping percussion before the squelching, ever-evolving bassline drops. the track build and flows effortlessly maintaining high energy levels throughout. big tune. flip then for >last 3 digits< ? the title being a reference to pirate radio shows where the host refers to callers by the last 3 digits of their phone number. >let me have 1 caller for the rewind<. heavy hitting rave stabs punch out the catchy melody here before the track switches up into a grimey beat and even grimier bassline. quality rave music.
