the h.a.n.s. is back. with more tools for fools. four traxx and two extras for the soft working dj and the fast moving dancer. more samples, more nasty beats, more heavy stripped down kaputt groovers. weak kick drums, lazy arrangements & shameless sampling guaranteed. food for fun? maybe rooted somewhere between the early paul jacobs and the late bcc music starring a 2014 twist if you know what i mean. you better remember that h-ouse a-int n-othing s-erious. it is still nothing but big fun.

at a time when the weekly flow of new albums, eps and mixtapes come to exceed the number of e-mails that pile up in our inbox, the dazzle in lokoms new double single is like the long anticipated rainfall season in a tropical country: nothing protrudes yet everything is present. totally melodic and surprisingly quiet despite its fabulous rhythmic complexity, good news from mars soothes like a perfect conversation in a sea of things left unsaid. at the same time dry, blazing and melancholic, blurred vision recalls the brooklyn duo team shadetek in their early 2000 years, when the two were still hesitating between ambient warpish glitch and grime jolts. when combined, both tracks offer a vision inspired by the union in 2014 of electronica and experimental dance: an infinity of possibilities where hope still exists. download card inside.

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.

this is for those with hard heads, black lungs, and scarred hearts. it is for the dreamers who construct darts on loose-leaf and those revolting against corporate life and casual fridays. it is castles return of the gasface, released on mello music group, remixed by has-lo with a new track and revamped verses. the new record tilts at a different angle, but the beats still bludgeon without sacrificing soul. the raps are rugged yet introspective. the north carolina natives voice is grizzled and shot through with the fatigue that comes from late nights, cigarettes and coffee. has-los beats coax a deeper melancholy out of castles hymns.

>i am ok<, reads the title of the new album by the berlin-based producer, dj and label-owner oliver koletzki. the heading0s ambiguity is, of course, deliberate: theres a deeper meaning hidden behind the humorous facade that is chrisse kunsts hand-drawn cover, which depicts an unadorned thirteen-year-old oliver sporting nerd glasses and a striped jumper: i am oliver koletzki, raw and authentic. because musically, on his fifth studio album, oliver koletzki looks towards the unaffected freshness of back in the day, and thus, consciously returns to his roots.

these tracks are fairly special in our opinion and we are very honoured to be releasing them as the first optimo music disco plate.noo are daze dasen (aka plastique de reve) and sami liuski (aka bangkok impact / putsch 79). this is a double a side 12inch single (plus a digital bonus track that we couldnt fit on the 12inch and still have maximum pressing volume). built out of imaginative sampling combined with analogue hardware, these tracks are phenomenally produced, lush disco string fuelled epics that fully work their magic in a club setting. this is modern disco, most definitely not nu disco.

>you become responsible, forever, for what youve tamed<, antoine de saint exupery writes in his modern fairy tale ‘the little prince’, in which his protagonist travels through various worlds in search of friendship and benevolence. the quote is, no doubt, fitting for niko schwind, since the berlin-based dj and producer consistently demonstrates a deeply anchored love for and close bond to house music, the art form he himself has tamed.

robert babicz (babiczstyle, systematic, bedrock records) created an incredible remix. he used lots of the original melodies, combined them with new elements, added rolling drums and a thick bassline to give the track the extra drive. his remix became a constant part of his live sets and was debuted with great response at grelle forelle (vienna) and ritter butzke (berlin).
channel x (stil vor talent) remixed *closer* into a pretty cool and clubby deep house track. you can feel their berlin origin when listening to the groovy bassline with variations of the melody. finally the breaks capture the mood of the dissonant sounds from the original track.

danton eeproms sophomore album *if looks could kill* is set to be released february 3rd, the aftermath of an intense period at the controls of his purpose-built studio. the result is a record which is hybridised at its core, chere pop songs gradually intertwine with dance floor values while sprinkling risqué references in the process. a foretaste? femdom. femdom may have early nineties techno written all over it, but still manages to leave a strong eeprom aftertaste when it is all said and done.

over the past couple of years, kellerkinds unique interpretation of house music has truly catapulted him out of the figurative basement and into the limelight. whether it was the disco-infused cool of backflash or the tribal rhythms found on his debut album basement story, through hard work, rather than by miracle, marco biagini matured into a producer who is at the top of his game.
