the mysterious wpbh label strikes again with two killer tracks from the vaults of one certain harry baldi. all that is known about this harry baldi character is that he once squeezed 100 tracks into a 9 seconds mix on his soundcloud and that he has never played at panorama bar or any other club for that matter.
so this one is truly a matter of the music doing the talking, and with the reggaefied dubness of cant kick this feeling when it dubs and the vintage theo parrish-styled tonight tomorrow the music will well and truly talk to a lot of music lovers.

with local talk release no. 30 we are moving further into territories of straight up no fuss dance floor action. already having releases on dirt crew recordings, murmur & hypercolour elef knows a thing or two about delivering jacking tracks. wake up call comes in two versions. the original version is a kick & snare pattern driven monster track with heavy arpeggios and deep pads. on the flip brennan green doesnt hold back either. the main melodic pattern together with percussions is unleashed straight on and as the tracks evolves he adds tr-303 lines making the track even more epic. as elef described the remix as perfect for a panorama bar set. the remix is worthy enough based on that one side alone.

the warning we all here at cocoon still remember their label-debut as a duo. timeless and kickin tech-house with hands-up-energy and potential to set dance floors on fire - until today!

for 124 recordings 4th release, austrian producer fabe steps up, and with the help of 2 killer remixes, delivers an ep that ticks all the boxes the original dusty chords starts as it means to go on with a baseline that instantly draws you into the groove before the chords lighten the mood and show you what this track is all about....

release number eight on london house maven george fitzgeralds manmakemusic label, the laszlo dancehall ep, connects two of the uks most exciting young producers: leon vynehall and christian piers. the sample driven crunch of vynehalls earlier productions on manmakemusic can be heard loud and clear complementing the canny but irresistible percussive and vocal shimmies of piers. aside track gave up, championed by george fitzgerald on his recent bbc essential mix for radio one, sets the pace and aims straight at the dancefloor with its strange sonic palette, at once euphoric and gritty. on the flip we get aint no time on which vynehall and piers give us their interpretation of classic house. the final track, manley harrison, is the strangest and arguably most original of the bunch and leaves the listener in no doubt as to why there is such a buzz about these two producers at the moment.

diamond version craft music that is somehow simultaneously futuristic and archaic. on the surface, its static effervescence and mechanistic precision evoke the march of technology and the sinister detachment of late capitalist society. but it affects listeners on a more instinctive level, interfacing directly with the nervous system and rendering the polyphonic chatter of the bodys impulses crisp and cold. there is something oddly permanent about they rhythms they unearth, as though theyare simply tapping into a deeper pulse that has always been present within their circuitry. diamond version is a collaborative project between two of the most groundbreaking, experimental and forward thinking operators in modern music, olaf bender and carsten nicolai. as joint heads of the berlin-based label raster-noton and with solo projects alva noto (nicolai) and byetone (bender), for over a decade they have been releasing work that spectacularly blurs the lines between the visceral and the conceptual, bridging the gap between gallery and dancefloor. diamond version release the latest instalment in their series of eps leading up to an album in summer 2013.

vinyl only! we have a new release lined up from the enough! music family. there are so many words that could best describe the debut ep from plusculaar, but we prefer to simply say that this release is simply exceptional, we are in love with this sound! two tracks stai jos and romance are both full of passion and soul, detailed arrangements full of magic and expression, there is nothing ordinary about these, they are simply wonderful! for the remixes we have contribution from dana ruh and eveline fink, each providing their own personal touch, a fusion of techno and dub, well structured and subtle. each little hit, melody and percussion groove fits perfectly and is well matched and balanced in these two mixes. once you listen, you will understand straight away and all night long!

next up on local talk we got a raw peak hour jam from liverpool producer dale howard (lost my dog, large, morris/audio, off rec). there is nothing light or fluffy about these tracks, its just dirty straight up house music with a dark 90s basement feel. for the main track we actually chose the dub version of throwback over of the original mix. we just thought this version was soooo freakin raw even though its more stripped than the original version. you’ll see what we mean when you drop it in the club! the second track in out goes along the same house theories as throwback with jackin beats and deep chords that will do wonders in any authentic house basement. all in all, a might fine release of classic local talk house music. enjoy!

a friend of ours wrote a magazine article a couple of years ago saying that the one good thing about the credit crunch was that it would give the warehouse party scene a boost. for some reason that hasnt quite happened yet - but we refuse to give up hope.

fresh again, silks favorite dunce-dance diva, maria minerva, tries on a new wardrobe with her bless ep. busting out with sweet n swingy single black magick, minerva caters her classic la-la lyrics about an occult/joke-cult romance over a new waif, schneider-esque pop-rock lobsta beat. space 4 u slips echo-drone vocal monologues over a laface-style rnb booty bumper, while symbol of my pleasure sneers with a walk this way funk lick, both reminding fans of minervas naughty/playful creep-creativities. rounding out the ep are soul searchin – a sleazy, down-tuned, junk-jungle comatose doser – and lady blacktonikas black magick garage trippin remix – a layer cake of luscious tush pushin and an ode to another sassy lady, miss kier herself. confidence is key, and this is maria minerva struttin,’ on and off key, through her newest collection of wand songs.

wonder wet records is proud to announce the return of the production of one of the most eclectic and respected italian djs, claudio fabrianesi. esteemed in his hometown rome, where he plays every saturday for alchemy at the vicious club? two stylistically opposite songs, but with one thing in common: the quality. cosmic kabul, on side a, is a pearl for any cosmic genre lover, the track contains multiple musical influences and people will talk about it for a long time. warm reaction, on the b side, is a deep journey into a more mental techno, but with also groove. a record that will make the difference, an absolute must!

this is the sound of the future four. led by andy meecham, the brains behind the emperor machine, bizarre inc and chicken lips amongst many others, and captures the excitement, diversity, strangeness and harmony of the uk underground sound of the early 90s. we are talking about the sparse dub mix on side 2 of the 12 inch single, machines making mistakes and changing the course of history, the dark side of the rave away from the neon and the white gloves, future four points the way to the dimly lit corner of the dancefloor and makes you move. after a recent discovery of boxes of old s950 and mpc60 floppy discs full of sound sets dating back to the early 90s, all three tracks have been produced solely on the mpc 3000 in staffordshire, and in perfect unison of north and south, mixed by erol alkan in london.

nice price deal !!! already drowning, a song-cycle inspired by various myths & folktales about female water spirits, marks something of a departure for aidan baker. while still retaining his trademark sense of ambience & texture, the tracks on this album are much more structured & song-oriented, embracing a minimalist post-rock, slowcore style & featuring a different guest vocalist on each track.
limited to 300 copies on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl, including free mp3 download code.

* times*
is appropriately chosen, though indeed it seems to be timeless.

3 track 12 from new but not new artist anno stamm. an alias of berlin producer lars stöwe aka anstam who has been one of our favourite producers around all city towers these last few years. original with a capital o, anno stamm is allowing him to fiddle about in the undergrowth even further. raw and twisted, dark with a dash of colour and heavy with the drums. 3 tracks in all, and those of a certain vintage should be able to spot the sample on lead track * i still have the photographs*. as always for those to whom such things matters - theres the usual full colour shrink-wrapped artwork with a download code.

*bastard child of house* is a tribute to chicagos most famous record store. inspired by a video about some native chicago guys working at the store, peter schumann and kareem decided to set words to a tune and create their own version of the story. they asked their buddy dcnt if he could add his interpretation too. and so it happened that words became sound and sound inspired more sound and as we speak everything turns into words again. with both versions the tooliness is very obvious, while the original is organic and warm in terms of tone and sound design, the dcnt version has a more technoish feel and relies heavily on its edgy and straightforward character.

the guys from audision are back with their next release in coloured vinyl! they produced chimes 1 for their live-set and it was much appreciated by the crowd. their new syntie roland jd 800 sounded crystal clear in their studio, but when they practiced for their live set in frankurt last year, all of a sudden it played a different sound … this was a magic moment which had to be recorded at once. the typcial audision device is: let the machines do the talking. and that is the also the story of chimes 2 *away* was the beatless track from their last years release up & away. so no one else but gez varley aka g-man created a dancefloor monster out of it. where can we start, when we talk about such a genius like gez varley. he was co-founder of the legendary lfo (warp records) duo. he wrote music history with his partner mark bell. under his solo project g-man, he released on labels like wir, i220, force inc or swim. *quo vadis* is still one of the most important all-time favourite techno tracks. last but not least a typical rough and deep house mix came out of christopher raus machines. the smallville member released on labels like, pampa, derive, aim, mule… and delivered a great track for this wonderful release. all in all - a must have!

whilst mystery continues to cloak the artist sawf, theres nothing clandestine about the greeks bold and inventive take on techno that has been accruing on perc trax over the last few years

zadig is back on crf with a 3 tracks project, telling us stories about forgotten cities, deep and dark oceans, insane planets and outer space machines … a trip to arkham asylum.

uzuri starts 2013 with a released that comes deep from the detroit underground. its unlikely that youll be familiar with the name whodat (terri mcqueen), but shes been rocking selected dancefloors in the states and canada for the past seven plus years, and more recently has touched down in europe – notably with a gig at berlins about blank alongside motor city compatriot, marcellus pittman

master-class techno - about cassegrain - what should we say? they did it again. in fact alex and hüseyin had a great brilliant year in 2012 and 2013 starts stronger with this double 12?. tiamat is not just a collection of techno tracks, its one of the best techno tracks we have heard so far and everybody with some techno nerves should recognize very fast what treasure this is.

one more heavy hitter on credo, and this time we could even say two tracks that form an ep as strond as the so far most sold credo-release from 2007 - bullet in your heart. the name tells already some connection to australia and indeed the basic idea came up during alex tour down under in fall 2012 where he played three cities within three days and a total of 9h playtime for which he travelled 64h in total. sydney acid is the main track of the ep, no doubt and hard to describe. it is a pure, driven technotrack with a fierce, no blubby, but very powerful acid bassline aiming at riots on the dancefloor. melbourne dub tells exactly what the track is all about and by the way featuring the sound of the local traffic lights that made alex thinking about creating some tracks related to it.

while fetsum is about to take the us by storm (after a california tour, in march hes going to perform at the sxsw festival in austin and at the pre-oscars party at the villa aurora in la) sonar kollektiv releases four seminal remixes of his song letters from damascus. one of the centre pieces of his current album the colors of hope is not describing the political situation in syria, its more of an autobiographical tale about the golden voiced german-eriteans life.

the opener is a traditional jola rhythm, typically fast and energetic, with tuned, talking and kit drums swarming over a kind of skeletal downhome guitar, somewhere between blues and disco. the mboup brothers make a soaring, impassioned plea for an end to division and bloodshed in their casamance homeland. then a more deeply dug-in, spaced-out funk, edgily spun from a serer rhythm, underpinning mbenes reflective song about parental sacrifice. sama yaye, my mother. both with full instrumental versions.

with only 3 releases save the black beauty has created such a buzz around the label that we can talk about a meteoric rise. filippo naughty moscatello delivered the goods and bow is is another veteran of the scene hitting the buttons on the 909. klas lindblad aka sasse give us treat, a detroit tingled old school cut in a glorious rob mello remix a freestyle man acid mix from sasse himself. raw, uncompromising and dancefloor friendly. the party is on.

dj agency, management company and webzine the underground add another string to their bow with the launch of their record label and first release underground fables vol.1. the inaugural outing on the underground audio imprint is an eight track taste of what the underground is all about, showcasing several of the artists they work with alongside a selection of the brightest new talents in deep and tech house, pressed on bright orange vinyl.

ascs brand new imprint, diode, kicks off with 3 techno tracks. full of vibrance and the usual production nuances we have come to expect from asc over the years. solenoid is the lead track and gets straight down to business with no messing about. heavy kicks, keys laden with fx, and snappy percussion make this a firm floor tune. on the flip, we have the moody and sinister release, which flirts with darkness, and backing it up is the essential carrier. 3 standout tunes from a name synonymous with quality electronic music.

three superb re-edits from karim, the man destined to become the new todd terje. *all the joy that you bring* is everything that is good about disco with none of the cheese. flip then for the pure soul and heavy funk of lou johnsons *the beat*. then to round off perfectly we have got a great instrumental of grand master flashs classic *the message* this is a huge release!
pressing on coloured & marbled vinyl.

tropics a.k.a. chris ward first appeared on planet mu last year, following up two eps with the album parodia flare. commended by pitchfork for his lush soundscapes and hazy pop, whats clear with tropics is that he listens to a lot of dance music and he cares about production values. the synth and beat programming is as competent as anything out there, and he avoids lazy indie stylings and one button bontempi organ beats – his are crafted songs, much of the pleasure lying in his gift for dynamic arrangement, which is a joy amid rafts of useful formulaically assembled house tracks.
in common with the general post-financial collapse vibe there is less sunshine in this ep than before, and he has absorbed something from a year of intensive house music listening, but chris essential qualities remain a forward-looking wistfulness, hope beneath melancholy, something even more acutely needed now than before. oh look! here comes winter.

rhythm and melody, the beat and the bass - thats what proper club music is all about. and with current chihouse revivalists galore, its really hard to come up with something really true to the roots, and brilliantly fresh at the same time. recognition recordings, run steadily by jacek sienkiewicz, polands true visionary of contemporary club beats in a world of post-techno, passes its 30th release with this four-track marvel of an ep by one chino

*sundog* by french producer johannes regnier was a massive but bloody underrated track this summer - when i heard it recently at the innervisions-party on the berghain-floor i felt confirmed about this dudes big potential. meanwhile he moved from paris to berlin and his first studio in town was located in a street called wiesenweg. there johannes met alexander antonakis, an excellent and well known dj from frankfurt for some sessions - the result you can hear on this *wiesenweg ep*.
limited edition off 300 numbered copies on transparent green vinyl.

the 7th release on aniara marks the debut of henrik bergqvist from stockholm, sweden. two tracks of no frills, hands-on house, made with unbridled love for music, machines and the simple joy of dancing your ass off. a-side *go for what hurts* is all about the strings and the slamming beat, propelling you into the early morning vibe, while the b-side *spin* has what can only be called a truly irresistible groove. it is the type of track that takes the party from a simmer to a rapid boil!
