hello?repeat 022 brings flash and anavi. both tracks in essence bring a linear and continuous flow, to many, a daze maxim signature in the sense that each element does not scream for attention alone, it is the combination of them which creates the overall impact. a dose of what we need when we need it. it is to do with structure, it is about the way in which elements are thrown in adding that bit of surprise effect which is able to stunt and amuse us all in a very good way. flash starts with a solid bass line, the vocal flash, a hypnotic cosmic/trippy element and a hoovering noise on the background making up the intro. the locomotive sounding high-hats then slam in, which together with the bass line complete a dance floor bliss of a track with all that groove.

since day one, radiq has been showing an affinity for the afro-centric funkiness and carefully-honed sound design of modern days minimal music. as in many of his previous tracks, all six songs of >vida noir< has this certain kind of unyielding quality - long, hypnotic grooves with muted kick drum set the stage for more emancipated experiments in texture and sound design. on >a long hot summer break<, for example, the effect is utterly obvious as kicking its ass into gear with syncopated drums and strain of warm chords before animated vocal sample slips in like fingerprint. while deeply seductive interplay of those chugging percussion gives way to delighted horn of >a-dieu<, warm chord and acoustic guitar of >calling< is perfect example for radiq’s masterful sound and texture. >machine codes modified< has rather restrained structure for him, but tightly woven drums speaks eloquently about its carefully arranged funkiness and dance floor functionality. despite their repetitiveness, its surprising how well these productions forming cohesive solidarity as an album. presumably, it owes a lot to wide tonal vocabulary which is radiqs hallmark - these tracks has something concentrated, vivid qualities. this album sits just at the edge of the dance floor, but also performs its exceptional strength on intense home listening. dusky synth and truncated surge of bass of >vida noir< constructing something dark, before closing this album with modulated afro-acoustic guitar and deep falsetto voice (by the producer himself) of >rondo<. this album offers up an engaging and comprehensive amalgamation from the inquisitive sound by the maestro

the 12 track album was written and produced since the turn of 2013 and mixed with erol alkan at the phantasy sound, the labels own studio in london. a difficult trick to master but like carl craigs more songs about food and revolutionary art, plastikmans consumed or more recently the work of four tet, the album works as a cohesive whole rather than a disparate collection of tracks

following four releases in the bangers and ash 12 inch series, styles upon styles inaugurates the label proper with an ep from our friends and community cohorts, archie pelago. from their earliest digital releases on end fence and tectonic, through substantial 12 inches via mister saturday night, well rounded, and their recent self-released transmissions (sly gazabo ep and breezy whey), each body of work from the trio of hirshi, kroba and cosmo d contributes to a growing narrative in their catalogue of improvised, acoustic-electronic dance music. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy in london. pressed at mpo in france with artwork from calvin ho and sus sleeve design by tschiegg.

ndv return from summer with their 2nd release which is a bloomin all star va. the idea of the va ep is to showcase the synthy housey technoey sound theyre all about, and what better way to do it than give the vinyl over to some of the most freakishly talented producers out there.

after launching with the excellent systems of desire collaboration between kowton and hyetal, happy skull expand their remit with the introduction of a new artist. describing himself as a *caped conductor of a rusty, disobedient mechanical orchestra*, little is known about london based producer adjowa but his two original productions here hint that he wont remain unknown for long. accompanying adjowas original heat is a remix from premier eglo artist funkineven!

reading purveyor of chrome-plated cosmic funk and berlin-resident heartthrob returns on his newly minted isninst imprint to deliver three futuristic jams worthy of only the sleaziest of intergalactic parties.

mole city is not in the tradition or deviating from the tradition – it is the tradition. after two decades of launching drums, guitars and pianos through the shifting interzones between harmony and chaos (moonlighting along the way with the likes of sleater-kinney, wild flag, elliott smith, built to spill and a long list of others), quasi are a genre of their own - they write songs in the style of quasi, and mole city is the quasi song book: parlour sing-alongs for the last century.
now in their 20th year as a band, and a two-piece once again, sam coomes and janet weis hand-deliver the double album/liberation cookbook/encyclopedia of kicking ass, mole city, to those of us who still care about well-built, homemade objects crafted with integrity, spirit, fire, and skill.
pressing on double 180 gram heavyweight virgin vinyl, housed in gatefold sleeve with mp3 download code included.

oliver & tim are known as soloartists in the world of warm beats. tocotronic once more: >we had a few words with them. from there we determined that we like it around here.< a full-throated studio session all together brought about the maxim: let there be house!

somethings are just done better when they are done together and the same can be said about soul button and sasch s latest collaborative work unfold . the two steyoyoke men have come together to show just how passionate they are about producing music that is rich with feeling and emotion.

what more can be said about need for mirrors? with a track record as long as my dick nfm have trail blazed through a veritable who s who of top d&b labels, including metalheadz, shogun, v recordings, dispatch, symmetry, clear skyz and their own imprint zoltar.
with *voltaire* causing upset with club sound system engineers worldwide as feral youths wile away into a sensory-overload downward spiral and *heron blue* making hints towards dillinjas take on strontium jazz this 12 inch is undoubtedly going to upset you. that is why we think you should take a punt and buy it.

but that the cocoon compilation l is all about love, is beyond debate: the love for electronic dance music, for its complexity and its diversity, the love for this global musical language and last not least the enthusiasm for the well-known and the still non-famous protagonists of this tonal romance that faithfully accompanies us through night and day for more than 30 years now.

the star eyed condition is chameleonic effort in the impossible to pin down trajectory of loden s career. the belgian-based producer and musician has already proven his facility for glassy disco and droning ambient on his 2005 debut valeen hope, and glitchy hip-hop via his work with sole and thirsty fish.
on his new album, koks goes even further beyond his already drawn boundaries. there is a touch of robo-electro to tracks like *optimist never cries* and *sanesserarian* (a play on the phrase *ça ne sert a rien* or *it is useless*). he brings the ghostly sounds of german electronic pop into the dirtiest of hip-hop beats. and on his collaboration with rhymer doseone, *future confetti*, he gets lost in a psychedelic wilderness worthy of dj danger mouse.

samuli kemppi played live twice at suicide circus, and since his energetic sound really fit well with our club, we started talking to each other about a release on our dark series imprint. so here we go now, after releases on labels such as prologue, mote evolver and perc trax, samuli kemppi now is ready to rock your boat with three tracks on our label, which define a very particular sound of their own. last day on earth brings samulis apocalyptic vision to the dancefloors. dark hisses, well scaped spaces and a hookline with the pull of a spacecraft make up for a track that with no doubt will be one of the techno anthems of the next months. a killer of a track! on the b-side spacing has similar sound aesthetics as last day on earth, but comes along more playful whereas calling approaches the apocalyptic theme from a very different angle. bleepy synths over a banging beat let you think of laser shots in the dark, haunting and scary.

while this album could have gone down a rather obvious route, with the remixers of the asphodells album *ruled by passion…*, andrew weatherall looked a little closer to home.
mainly revolving around the axis - the group of locally-based producers who can be spotted in and out of weatheralls shoreditch studio bunker - reworkings from the likes of phil kieran, scott fraser, hardway bros, justin robertson and ivan smagghe soon came to light.
this idea lead to a broad range of styles with something for everyone. we have stopped arguing in the office about which is the best track. they all are.

after the fifth italian release by samann, now its time to another italian artist enrico mantini pioneer of the 90s, house and deep for your ears!

despite having a weird and unpronounceable name, 2methylbulbe1ol, once again is about spread some slammin dubstep over your kitchen floor. this young artist from france appeared already on the ruff label. he has always provided some harsh and extremely well produce sounds. watch out for more crazyness to come from this lad...

introducing the house of 12 vol.2, also including some new artists on this one. a1 is with martin bell, uk, the man behind all those videos on youtube about >how to make house music with soul<. a jazzy house raw tune, proper sound for a proper dancefloor. a2 is a mysterious band from croatia, rare people house brand, all stuffed with vintage gears as well, presenting a house/disco song with a fucking good syncopatic crescendo and some hypnotic vocal. b1 is an italian guy, jacy, and his talented attitude to resume a disappeared vibe from old italian house from the early 90s, mixed with a new touch, so its not revival, its a new life about that genre!! b2 is the worst of the band, as usual, deep88, here with a raw-all-played-track that hasnt seen any sequencer, just a multitrack tape overdubbing and mpc.

vinyl only! crystal structures brings together two very special people for this, our second release. aubrey and mark ambrose, some of you might have heard about these guys, and if not, shame on you. proper legends on the british scene, one of the most prolific producers to date

i first met leon vynehall in berlin before a gig at the amazing about_blank. we had a fun conversation and he played a really good set that night. much later i realized i had been playing one of his tracks (total s) for ages! we stayed in touch and i asked if i could hear some of his new music. he sent me five tracks and i signed four, that is a pretty good score if you ask me! smart and conscious about his music and his output, i think this ep is really only the beginning for leon vynehall. i am glad i am able to give it a platform and share these amazing tracks with you. also special props to d&m for doing a great mastering job on these. - martyn

comes with a magazine, a cult membership card, and a hand numbered ticket to the attending experimental theater performance. with la missions second missive, the cult sings you some more songs about fucking. and revolution. humanity is a ship we are all sailing. tough, slowly developing house with weird unintelligible vocals, a philip glass-ish short interlude, and then some ridiculously slow and syrupy 100bpm deepness round out this little package. made with you in mind. thanks for listening.

the seventh instalment in lo sheas series of 10 vinyl only releases on seaghdha. you know by now how this goes - precision club workouts, which ricochet between uk flavoured jams, to clean cut techno & stripped down house. vasquez leads the charge here, less about the legendary captain of the soundfactory, and more the soundtrack to a drug deal gone bad in downtown miami. like her flails around a bowel troubling low end and crisp snare double act, piling on the pressure with an unrelenting groove and some deftly applied distortion. elsewhere 365247 is in more familiar lo shea / seaghdha territory, with some expertly manipulated, atmospheric sampling laid over a spare, shuffle-happy herbertesque workout. finally flash gives us a glimpse into sleepless basement, inhabited by addled humanoids, playing glass bottles.

lokee musik goes into round three with an ep from the man of mystery known as anonym. very little is known about the person behind the mask, except some rumours that he hails from the motor city. in true classic techno spirit he prefers to stay anonymous and let the music speak for itself.

the ambassador of the bat, yes it is true, and the ambassador of german melodic techno music dominik eulberg is releasing, 8 months after *ein stuckchen urstoff*, a new ep on traum. fans of his music can anticipate another masterpiece of melodic music, which is based on him fiddling with sounds, acoustics… keeping up of what we refer to as the eulbergsche language. this time it seems to be even more exhilarated and driven by passion. does this make sense when you speak about someone who is considered to have great compositional skill? yes we think the liveliness shows up in greater chunks, and the crispiness of the ideas rise to a point which is exceptional and... for those who seek techno realism… it can be found here as well.

when san franciscos icee hot launched its own record label last fall with a new record from ghosts on tape (one of the partys founders), there was a lot of talk about how quiet hes been in recent years. now, a mere nine months later, thats all changed

following the success of the consumer ep by fellow label owner james johnston comes the praise ep by alex agore, and its a true return to form for him on no matter what. the record opens with the title track >praise< - an inspired tribute to gospel music, keeping all the soul but reimagining it into something more infectious. uplifting keys combine with vocals that will have you trying your best to sing-a-long, over a bass groove that holds it all together. >falling< is a slower affair, with its dream-like chords, airy synthwork, cowbell hits and seamless hats. a perfect track to start a night or to end one. the b-side completes the package with two undeniable house jams. you will soon realise how much you like >theres no love< when its skippy vocal is stuck in your head, hours after hearing it for the first time. >i can feel you< closes out the ep on a deeper note which will have you thinking of moments when the sun is about to rise, yet the night is far from over.

the second offer on public possession is by artist matthew brown. we know little about this guy - he lives in tasmania in an area known as the great western tiers and is held in high regard for his live sets on the mainland. getting the final tapes of him was quite difficult but well worth the effort. he has been an integral part of the electronic underground scene in australia for years and the demand for a physical release was high. finally the wait is over, public possession is very happy to present you the first ever 12&#8243,, by matthew brown, who delivers three tracks, two of them probably best described as analogue electronic funk for dancefloors at peaktime. the ep is completed by the track borobo with its incredible slowmotion groove and balearic touch. all in all we are very happy to share this music with you, as it was a about time that the music by the man matthew brown gets its shine on a vinyl release. expect more to come in the future, this is just the beginning…

aptly titled the noughties, the latest 12 inch from beats in space records features three tracks recorded between 2005 and 2009 courtesy of tokyos humbly dynamic gonno. a dynamic producer who is clearly not afraid to nest until crucial hatch time, gonno flies the coop with a wingspan throwing psychedelic colour at a sunburst sky. blending a spectrum of musical influences and personal touch points about the people (and animals) he has encountered and the implicit joy / sorrow in that exchange, gonnos productions blur the lines between art and life experience.

hank jackson is from southern california, but he calls brooklyn home. a couple months ago, when we were stamping alex burkats record in the mister office, we put these songs on. after we picked our eyeballs off the floor, we realized we were listening to more than just face-burning techno. theres something about hanks music that seems to embody the conflict between youth and age, what its like to live in a society where the law can simultaneously & arbitrarily protect you or harm you. but maybe we just think too much. no matter what, we are happy to introduce hank, and we are happy to present you with the deposit ep. we hope you enjoy

new sheffield label shabby doll records makes its debut with nails donks ep. nail is nottingham-based neil tolliday, a producer who spent the last decade creating deep downtempo joy as one half of bent – their debut album *programmed to love* helped ease the worlds ills back in 2000. now, with love for nails solo manoeuvres truly reignited, sheffields shabby doll label is taking the next step with his first new solo material for years. called donks, nails new four-track ep showcases his flawless dancefloor instincts: there is something deliciously seductive about this early hours charmer. one to play when things are getting wonderfully weird… and finally, never4gedit brings back the sunshine with some sweet, melody-flecked disco. with nails vintage house output currently proving to have real staying power, lovers of real british house music eagerly await his new tracks. so if you have got a dark room and a feeling, let nail, shabby doll and donks add a little magic to the night.

after their collaboration at last years unsound festival, there were rumours about a recorded ep from interplanetary prophets a.k.a. jamal moss (hieroglyphic being) and daniel martin mccormick (ital). the good news is they were true. these tracks are the fruits of studio jams earlier this year, edited down into three long, dense pieces. and the coupling really works, interplanetary prophets feels and sounds like a brand new entity.

trotz zahlreicher nebenprojekte wie alexis taylors about group, joe goddards the 2 bears und einem vollgepackten tour-kalender, lassen uns hot chip nach ihrem erfolgs-album in our heads vom sommer 2012 auch in diesem jahr nicht im stich: die neue single dark and stormy erscheint am via domino! der typisch leichtfüßige hot chip-sound trifft auf eingängig groovende bass-lines und den soulig-melancholischen gesang alexis taylors. dabei herausgekommen ist ein elektrisierender dance-pop-song, der spätestens mit dem aah-ooh der bridge ganz fest im ohr hängen bleibt.

in 2011, we begin to think about doing a record label. we had been following somaticae for some time and at this moment he was playing some art & punk gigs with a furious live of electronic improv, on the edge between hypnosis and noise. two of these sessions became our second release, *dressed like a bubblegum*, raising the interest of people like surgeon, perc, and peter van hoesen , his remix for mondkopfs *ease your pain* receiving praise from ancient methods as well as labels downwards and avian. but somaticae had already moved forward, and in a matter of a few weeks, he was sending us what quickly and easily took shape as *catharsis*, a ten track piece which is to be the first album release on in paradisum.
