* no time to explain* was played by ricardo villalobos at dekmantel festival
raum musik 100 is coming from edgardo alonso better known as sakro. he is hailing from mexico and we have been following his work for quite some time now. therefor we are quite happy that we finally found the perfect match of tracks to put this single together. the title track of the ep „no time to explain“ already attracted a lot of attention during the summer when a handful of djs that were lucky enough to already have it, have been dropping the tune on some bigger stages and festivals and it quickly became a sought after track. we are very happy about our 100th release and as always we hope you enjoy the music as much as we do. cheers and happy birthday raum !

repress 2017, jlm and chris wang started the party love dancing in 2009 in vancouver, bc, canada. love dancing, along with jesse proudfoot and chris allen’s good faith, was a formative dance experience for many of us in vancouver and an essential ingredient in the mood hut stew. the music on this disc dates from that period and captures some of the energy of the love dancing parties. we hope you enjoy it.

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

repress! when three people run a label together it is exceptionally rare to find a positive unified opinion of a record on first listen. when isolée sent his -mangroove- ep to maeve, this was in fact what happened. but it is isolée after all.... mangroove came about last summer when the drifter happened to catch isolée s live set at a festival in switzerland. instantly blown away by the a side -pisco- he was determined to find out what it was and if it was to be released. after chatting, isolée suggested that he would send -pisco- along with a couple of other -demos- to maeve and a few days later the ep was happening. isolée has created some of the most important and beautiful records of our generation and has being a huge influence on what we do, thus we are incredibly excited and humbled to release his work. this three track ep shows several different sides of the frankfurt native, from the a-side dance floor catalyst that is -pisco- to the deeper dubbier b-sides of -l5 syndrome- and -mangrove-. this is the perfect record to mark our tenth release.

we are very proud to welcome back one of our greatest artists and good friends scott monteith aka deadbeat. scott original comes from canada but now lives in berlin for some years. scott is mostly known for his own blkrtz label, but have been releasing on many other labels over the years. the track put on your red shoes and trance is a peak time bomb, dubby, deep, powerfull and melodic track. the b-side, just jackin around is techno bomb full of dubby chords and build-up-madness. 300 limited marbeld vinyls. when the coloured edition is sold out we only have black vinyl left.

august 2016 saw running back release a first volume of live tracks from redshape, but january 2017 sees the much loved artist return to delsin, his most regard label, for a second offering of the same. this time the ep has one track made in paris, and one in london, and both are filled with the sort of beautifully bleak and lo-fi sounds that have made this man such a standout artist over the years. up first is london, a chugging track that builds in pressurised layers of coarse hi hats, gurgling bass and pinging kick drums. it is a hypnotic groove that teases you as elements drop in and out and hisses of static and broken little guitar riffs add some cheeky funk. on the flip-side, paris is much more playful, with colourful pixelated melodies dancing about the mix, industrial drums working down low and steppy synths fleshing things out. overall it sounds like a future disco for inebriated robots and is one of redshape s more party starting tracks.

geography 008 presents jayda g on a tripp! one original, one vocal version, one dj dog remix! strictly for everyone. with previous outings on butter sessions and her own (and dj fett burger’s) label freakout cult, jayda g now turns to the somewhat highly acclaimed but in no way award winning label geography for some canadian-swedish bilateral abracadabra. swirl shake mix features three hit tracks for every occasion, starting out with two different versions of the stripped back track shake it all down, and ending with the funk affair feel it, featuring the mysterious but fast food loving dj dog on remix duties.

come with us to a place of solitude where silent winds and barren landscapes have captured the hearts of many admirers but reject their controlling touch. a rejection of life, of death, and everything in between. this place is everything, it is the soul, but yet it is the nothing. a piece of that place has been brought to you once again. to some it will be an adventure but to others it will remind them of the journey taken so long ago to a place where rules did exist, no labels would fit, and no love could be found. frozen and empty but still the soul thrives. we call this place antarctica. where the soul thrives, and only the nothing lives here.

following his debut solo release altar ego ep on la mission in early 2016, j choirboy returns with more bombastic breakbeats and raucous rave chords for your earholes. another sharp shot of nostalgia to the heart to have you waking up spluttering in the glory days of 92. simpler times when the internet was still in black-and-white and you and seven of your mates would pile into gazs vauxhall corsa and drive to a field somewhere off the m25 for a propa wicked rave which you found out about from a party hotline on a crumpled flyer with some tenuous reference to science in the title.

efde s first release on voyage direct. the label embraces efde, regarding my bleep as arguably his most stunning production yet. some may be familiar with efdes work through his occasional 12inch singles for nordik netrecords and soweso, where he distilled a variety of influences think dreamy, ultra-deep house, the chicago bump of chez damier, and the sci-fi pulse of detroit into tracks that had a distinctive vibe all of their own. here he gets a chance to showcase his trademark sound on a four-track ep for the amsterdam-based label.

“there was a time when techno was written with a k, when the music was presented as a song not as a track. it followed a structure - intro, chorus, bridge... these recordings were naive, spontaneous, and raw, that’s what made some of them timeless. taking inspiration from this period, here is my interpretation. contemporary tekno, with a k.”

eshu records hits release number ten with a new ep from the in-house production collective made up of jocelyn abell, ivano tetelepta and daniel lekatompessy. fraktur features six tracks of stripped back house and techno that are all atmospheric and heady. opener winter track is a smooth and rolling dub techno number that is grainy and economical yet hugely absorbing thanks to its circling synth details and woody drums. creating moods is even more expansive and spacious, with gently swirling pads enveloping a soft, broken rubber kick drum. the title track is another expertly distilled, dry and heady groove with its frayed edges and warm analogue feel, then hello really flips the script with over driven jeff mills kicks and intergalactic synths bring a spooky sci-fi feel to proceedings. yorubaland is then a cosmic ambient interlude with fax tones bleeping and blipping as lazy pads smear out in the background and last of all core comes on strong with more quick and slick intergalactic techno carrying you off to some distant planet. this is another faultless ep from this fine dutch collective. pressed on 180 grams vinyl.

bleep. easily one of the most influential sounds to grow out of the burgeoning electronics scene of the late 80s. nowadays, easily one of the most overlooked genres. but not around njimgen. shipwrec are turning some deserved attention to those pioneering plinks and plonks for a 12- homage to the trailblazers of the sound, lfo. quadratschultz provides the material, the german artist serving a warehouse brewed, acid spiked, tribute to mark bell and gez varley. posthuman ruffle the edges that bit more with a bleary eyed 303 monster before countryman fah gives basslines a steroid injection for a thick and meaty mix. varley closes with a tribute to his former group. his lfo remix might be a solo endeavour but it has all the raw unrefined dancefloor energy that characterised the music of a certain pair of young lads from leeds cerca 1990. bleep bliss.

the ballroom basement of a hotel. the place for jack nicholsons mean encounter with a ghost or possibly the place for a cocaine laden sexual encounter with part of the media agency elite. the label worked there. and so did pablo. buying talent, slinging drinks, just a couple sneering punk kids looking towards a completely different berlin future. there was a time when rough and tumble crossed paths with diamonds. maybe it created diamonds in the rough? pablo always sent the label demos before the label was a label and could do something with them. pablo has had a string of successes since then (too numerous to point out) and the label became a label. became uncaged. time to let this relationship out of the cage. it is a long way from that ballroom basement, now time to do some thrusting, propelled, grinding, noisy, sonic shit together. house music? is it really? just in case you forgot that no one is all grim guts and clenched teeth, that wild abandon sometimes comes in the form of an ecstatic beach dance, nick höppner comes around and forces you to go out to hasenheide park for a picnic and to pick up a bag of dirt weed. >so fucking buy it<

more than often, musicians feel that releasing music is giving birth to a baby but no one knows better than women. stefny winter realizes a dream by putting out a collection of meaningful tracks, all made in various important moments of her life. more so, some of the tracks were made while she was pregnant, making this project even more special to her. coming from the 90s as a dj who would juggle between styles, stefny explores with no compromises or time stamp, her various tastes through time. >wind walker< becomes a savory collage of music that wont really stick to standard styles but will become familiar to any ears. limited color-vinyl pressing (one transparent, one white/grey marbled).

nice price deal !!! airhead continues to impress and confound with his run of releases on r&s. his last release >wait/south congress< found itself gaining praise right across the board. it showcased his atmospheric guitar styles as well as his deft programming skills, resulting in some trying to pigeon-hole his sound in a post rock/electronica direction. this ep proves it not that easy to pin him down with two new tracks of fresh club music. pyramid lake again showcases his expert manipulation of samples, but this time weaves them into a drunken dance groove, full of whirring percussion and heavy bass. black ink is a bubbling, percussive roller that in the hands of a lesser producer would sound like a traincrash. it bounces along almost out of control and sucks you into its charms until it hits you with some uplifting, haunted chords, at which point it is impossible to resist.

times are ruff is here with the 11th edition of its imprint, showcasing some of the styles the label stands for, percussive, jazzy, hypnotic and rhythmic house-music. tar011 is a dance floor oriented 4-tracker by alex fields and pete bandit. the guys behind the collaborative times are ruff project & label (which they do together with resistance orchestra) bring you this time two solo tracks each. 

alex fields brings two tracks to the table which both are based on a jazzy foundation without becoming lazy. fields pushes his drums and patterns to overdrive to uplift every dancefloor, while keeping the melody side musically interesting with jazzy solos. bandit keeps it more rhythmic and straight-forward on his side, with a percussive driven beat-track and a small wink to earlier more hypnotic tar releases with his track ruff street.

1per customer , marcus guerra s productions from some ten years ago are highly sought after, whether in the attendants or on his own as homero g. after many years of silence, the west coast label revives itself with a third instalment in the crucial deep cut collective series, and it s heartening to see that guerra s instinct for deadly deep house hooks has not faded one jot. just try listening to -feelin understood- and not getting the urge to hit the nearest dancefloor. the mood stays varied across the 12-, with the more percussive -days of the dcc- sitting in opposition to the none-deeper seduction of -by my side-

the debut release for the label is inspired from lingering between different realities. the original cut of bardo starts the release perfectly with a groovy bass and delayed atmospheric sounds, on point for self inner exploration. ed herbst &#769,s version brings some of his innate talent as a beatmaker. forward moving bass, crisp percussions and expansive sounds, make it perfect for the the late hours. on the flip side, han delivers a tool with layered percussions that are accompanied by futuristic sounds creating a solid groove that will keep you locked in. nick beringer delivers a superb remix of tamed, raw elements and tripped out sounds all along the track make this a dance floor bomb.
