brett johnson makes his second appearance on the mighty visionquest imprint with a superbly nuanced ep the secret place. packed full of rhythmic and melodic complexities, johnson embarks on a supersonic head trip for the senses. lead track the awakening is awash with eerie keys and a building framework of warping fx, clicks and bleeps, all pulled together by the emphatic groove. on the flip, voyage 34 feat. ryan is a rolling, hypnotic and futuristic odyssey with the tougher edge of techno and ryans creepy, disembodied voice. finally you can count on me indulges in an intricate, percussive groove with glitchy machine tech funk.

this time, the marvellous nighttime world of buenos aires is reflected by the rhythms and sounds of carisma (carolina stegmayer and ismael pinkler), who live together in the centre of the south american capital. since three years they are delivering these tracks directly (directamente) from their flat through the citys dark alleys to its underground venues – producing music to play it right away, written in a dialogue between studio and booth, at the djs parejas legendary fun fun parties, the famous dengue nights, and other spots.

a side with original title ep track meets dark groove, soft synths and catchy athmosphere together. also uk based artists, matt fear & kreature - the guys who have placed themselves on the worldwide house scene with resonance records, mexa records, nurvous records releases - are uniting the powers and deliver their version of the track, this is closing the a side. b side opens with low bass influenced remix of track by german based artist, gomma records coworker telonius. the key of this remix can be described as raw, linear and experimental. kevin over (noir music, defected) completes the b side and release in general. the dubby experience of melancholic notes with punchy sub bassline is a perfect banger for dj sets.

vinyl only - limited edition 180 gram pressing! >reforming digital waves by simple & elegant music patterns< - a straightforward mission statement for a new imprint, and one whose understated, direct manner shows the music-centered focus of wavereform as we reveal our first release. the >new sky< ep is the production debut of a mysterious new russian talent known as ivanov, and about whom little is known past his reclusive buddhist existence and his background in guitar, which is clearly evident on the title track. underlain by rising and falling atmospheric washes and understated percussion, >new sky< is propelled by a funky, jazzy and clearly organic keyboard solo that closely approximates his familiar stringed instrument in texture, tone, and musical development. next up is minimal legend soulphiction, who masterfully beefs up the original with a fat, growling bassline and more aggressive, hard hitting drums and claps that take the dreamy mood of ivanovs track and transform it into something more cosmic and psychedelic while retaining its musicality. on the flip, a new tune entitled >deep< gets revisited by lucidflow label heads klartraum, who have recently shifted their digital imprint to vinyl. here they bring things towards the dubbier end of the spectrum with a slow-building track that goes from hazy beginnings to an ominous, dramatic breakdown and then into a harder grooving second half. taken together, these three tracks are an auspicious beginning for a new name and label, and in fulfilling the stated goals offer great promise of things to come.

vinyl only release! for the third edition of the tsuba special series we bring together the italojohnson remix of spencer parker and a previously unreleased remix of dam swindle from soulphiction.

jbla came into being after julian jöckel (midnightopera) and stuart argabright (ike yard, black rain, o13) performed at a party in brussels on the 5th of oct. 2012 on invitation from bernardo risquez & michael langeder (different fountains). they all had met for the first time the year before through michael kreitz from meakusma when different fountains & o13 played concerts in eupen. after staying at different fountains studio the day after the brussels event they set up a rather improvised jam session. julian played synth on a yamaha dx7, bernardo worked the low frequencies on an old eminent organ while michael contributed machine sounds and took care of the live fx engineering. stuart put together some words and brought a beat to the occasion of the jam session at the df studio. during the short euro tour with ike yard, l.i.e.s label head ron morelli and artist svengalisghost came to the paris show and were talking with stuart about the streetwalkers of belleville, specifically the sad chinese hookers out on the street. combined with news about recent foxxconn workers suicides in china and witnessing altercations close to the air bnb where he stayed. the belleville ep are two cuts from that session with remixes from ron morelli + svengalisghost and vereker, pressed on translucent vinyl.

when luke solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with local talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we have been fans for a long time and mats actually booked him to his raw fusion club in the late 90s. he has been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. we couldnt agree more. lost channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby new york inspired house track comes in two versions. the raw & stripped version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with lukes trademark percussion sprinkled on top. the live piano version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. bubbly fx, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline. for remix duties it is the return of an old local talk friend, wil maddams. it seems like wil has spent some time in detroit since last time. this remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the d, his clever drum programming holds this track together with its deep pads and bubbling bassline. it is a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.

2014 promises to be an exciting year for the good ship boe recordings and the first release in february sums up exactly what territory the label is setting its course for. nick lawson has long been overdue a release on boe and after a couple of years of nurturing, he has delivered a set of compositions that will stand the test of time and should no doubt feature in many true heads record boxes for an age. patiently and eagerly crafting his style, nick has pulled together a slick production aesthetic that shines with detail and emotion. the by any means ep proffers three tracks that wouldnt sound out of place on the impossibly rare and much coveted label driftwood.

david k represents something thats all too rare in electronic music today: an artist who makes music first and club music second. for him, emotion is paramount, melody is important, the pop format has its perks and original material is always better than a sample. late at night and early in the morning he dances alone in his studio, tapping away on his keyboards and throwing together arrangements on the fly (a pianist by training, he cant bear to make music slouched over a mouse). his only goal is to make something that will keep himself dancing.

is it his love for details that made him known as the micronaut? at least the atmosphere of his productions evolves from a multitude of intricate elements. these little bits and pieces might be of very different nature but together they complement each other in perfect harmony, creating the big picture, the panorama of a soundscape that is one of a kind.

french brothers baptiste & pierre colleu have been making music together since they were children. they spent a chunk of their childhood in africa, which they say has inspired their work in the studio. that influence is submerged fairly deep on dolphin kid, the title track for these two eps. theres an undercurrent of eerie soulfulness and woody percussion accents running through this oddly alluring cosmic-house seducer, but its roots are more balearic than afrobeat.
