special request is a new, hand-stamped series dedicated to capturing the energy of uk pirate radio, while pushing the boundaries of modern dancefloor music. the first special request 12inch features two absolute monster tracks from a legendary uk producer that has got planet e, hot flush and phonica records all on his cv. the ep opens with the >warehouse mix < of >lolita<– a menacing, eight minute long techno-meets-bass stomper that kicks off stripped down drum pattern – claps, hi-hat and a rubbery kick drum – that slowly gives way to an insistent riff that drills itself into your head and categorically refuses to leave. on the flip >alone< is a completely different beast, complete with breakbeats a plenty

ly sander & michael j. collins join forces to bring you raoul06 via raoul, a deep, soothing ep. no response is a laid back and haunting piece, featuring warm bass and soaring pads. percussion is kept simple here, with the focus on the bass groove and introspective wording. home listening and chill out sessions arent complete without this air-y number. to bring it up a bit, the >deep space orchestra remix< lays a beat and a groove under the track and takes us to galactic depths. a cool energy is spread throughout and saucy percussion takes the levels higher. this is a late night dance track that gives goose bumps. it will certainly help to reconnect senses in the early morning. >russian roulette< displays nice use of delay and relaxed percussion. this hasnt got the boom of techno, but it does have the space-y synths and ambience to bring you up to your feet. when everything is in place, it feels right an afterparty delight.

a legend of techno music on tigersushi. we are really proud!
an electro hacktivist since the 90s, french techno pionneer, inventor of what became electro clash with miss kittin, true italo disco lover, legitimate son of dopplereffekt and kraftwerk and godfather of the new french sensation gesaffelstein with whom he runs the label zone. when michel amato (his real name) contacted us with a few tracks we felt so honored. he really got back to his roots here with deep italo and electro, warm analog synths against cold robotic drum machines, great melodies. it would have been a hit on the now defunct cbs radio.

the magic of classic house music has always lain in the way it finds a soul in the machine, eking warm organic sounds from cold circuitry. and tracks dont come much warmer or more organic than >oranges<, a glorious eight-minute slow-burner thats the second single from wolverhampton producer mark es 2011 release stone breaker. >oranges< is a track that demonstrates how the simplest of ingredients — a quietly insistent four-to-the-floor rhythm, an understated bassline, synth pads that sound like the first intimations of a balearic sunrise — can combine to create something remarkable. anyone who has got the cd/digital release of stone breaker, of course, will know this already — but this release is the first chance to own this track on vinyl, as it was absent from the albums lp release. on the flipside is a remix of >oranges< by mark e himself: the appropriately-named space dub, a lindstrøm-esque reworking that transports the track from the dance floor to some distant orbit, drifting through space on a wash of lambent fuzz-toned synths. as different as they are, both tracks share a sense of both space and intimacy, a mellow charm that is evocative and inclusive. a soul in the machine.

slamming 2012 disco edits !

after a 5 year gap, vince watson released what is now his 7th! album to the world in march to great critical acclaim. 5 years is a long time to wait for something ... but some things in life are worth waiting for.
here on this ep, vince has selected 3 of the albums tracks, as well an exclusive. starting with a club version of the albumâ€,™,s title track, every soul needs a guide. its got roots in house, techno and latin jazz, but in reality its a fusion of all of the above and displays some wonderful production techniques along the way. the word inspiring is overly used these days, but it defines the soul of this track perfectly. following this is the quite breathtaking never too late with its lounge and jazz track roots, cementing vinceâ€,™,s one-man band status as intact. beautiful chilled out percussion and double bass soak up the timely keys and give you a real sense of the manâ€,™,s artistic prowess. stunning ...

two american heroes team up to deliver the straight prison-funk, and they ve got the tattoos to prove it. somebody call the department of homeland security. its no secret that kris wadsworth and butane have both done hard time. in this case, a simple mutual respect lead to the decision that this record must be made. and so here it is. three tracks of uncompromising raw attitude. nothing premeditated here. just honest,warehouse-style jack-mode techno, done by two of the midwests finest. some djs over-sell themselves with contrived media stunts, fancy pr schemes, and little substance. youll find none of that here. we are just a couple of convicts who rip raw techno tracks. we speak through our music.

012 seems to be jordan peak’s year! he will set up his own label and has remixes out on top class labels like 2020vision, real tone and ibadan.
>minor details< is another top production from up and coming uk producer jordan peak. with releases on quality labels like tsuba, robsoul, one records or area remote, this new release is another solid offering from the talented youngster. the original version of >three one two< is a percussive yet deep club track, whilst the julien sandre remix adds more pump with its rugged acid bassline. >got soul< is stripped down and raw, a trademark of jordan s work and thats what we like. nick lawsons remix takes the track in a smoother direction and completes this well balanced ep.

originally recorded for chris blackwell of island records the rights of ‘life of contradiction’ were then given to joe higgs who released the album in jamaica and the u.k. in 1975. it was immediately obvious that this was a unique collection coming from a completely different direction to the other reggae releases of the period. although joe had first recorded some of the songs in the early sixties for studio one it was as if he was at last able to realise a vision of his own music that had previously been denied to him: either by financial constraints or from not having the right situation with the right musicians.

a symbiosis of two perfectionists who would like to surprise with something new and got lost in the deep widenesses of techno. now, zdenko grbavac and morgenklang let it come true and release their first record in common. the two tracks are technoid, impulsive and surprising at the same time. >epos< comes out on top at the middle distinctivly. the tracks baseline is remindful of the early 80s synth-pop and sounds in combination with the remaining parts like an unstoppable train. the track >novum< is a monster of chord and pushes relentlessly. however the athmosphere creates a certain easiness and moves the audience in a dreamy state.

masami akita and lasse marhaug have been working together since the mid 90ies. the first release on marhaugs (now deleted) label jazzassin records in 1995 was the >first rock< split single. in 2001 merzbow and jazzkammer (marhaugs project with john hegre) released a live album. later, akita and marhaug executed several live collaborations, but often with other artists such as hair stylistics and jim o rourke. in 2010 they finally got together to record as duo. recorded at gok sound studios in tokyo the results can now be heard as >mer mar<.
made using a combination of scrap metal screeching, analogue synths, and enough effect pedals to give you overweight with most airline companies, >mer mar< is a tour de force for both of these noise veterans, hinting to some classic 80s merzbow jams such as material action.

nice price deal !!! three nations, one record: japan, italy and germany come together on the first snuff trax in 2012. our friend humandrone from tokyo already gave us a wonderful piece of music for the snuff trax for japan benefit compilation last year. now we welcome him on snuff trax with an own ep. his tracks my racoon and paranoia will make your body movin for sure. my racoon also got a beautiful melodic remix treatment by our italian brother nick anthony simoncino (known from mathematics, skylax, hotmix) as nick anthony. and on the flipside the minister (you know him from creme jak ) delivers a super-dark version of paranoia. enjoy

exceptional debut album!!early support by groove magazine, resident advisor, oliver hafenbauer, gerd janson, lawrence more to come.. sometimes things in life never occur as planned. so it happend to edward aka. gilles aiken, when the berlinbased artist was looking for a new apartment. somehow he found himself moving to a very small fairy tale-like village called teupitz in brandenburg, germany. it was there were edward rediccovered his deep love for nature and silence. with long extensive walks along the teupitzer lake he got to the bottom of his true love for house music. within the silence he could still hear a distant pulse of basslines ringing. and after release for giegling, blooming soul and white it was time to make the next step. with all the nature surrounding him, he finally felt able to get all the music out. music which ended up as his debut album, simply called teupitz

jean wells story is not an extraordinary one in the world of soul, although her voice certainly was. her biggest hit >have a little mercy< from 1967 was a glorious slice of deep soul, a plea to a lover, whom she is addicted to, but who doesn t seem to notice. her gospel-trained voice perfectly encapsulating those feelings, whilst a stark arrangement dominated by an ethereal organ and dramatic horn stabs heightens the unbearable effect this man is having on jeans life. yet at the time this record only reached number 25 in the r&b charts, just another bit of genius amongst many, thrown out by the black american music industry at one of its most creative and profligate periods.
jean left us with a fantastic recorded legacy, of which her recordings for clyde otis, which are gathered here, are the choicest cuts.

softwar are 2 body builders from sydney - myles du chateau & jeremy lloyd - and they have finally finished their ep on future classic called > this time around<. as much as we tease softwar at how slow they are they have some pretty serious chops - their debut ep was signed to dj kaos label > jolly jams<, their remix of two door cinema club was hand picked by kitsune, their residence at slow blow at goodgod, sydney has got millions of hot >fashion< girls into deep house and theyve remixed mario & vidis and mitzi - meaning this will be their third appearance on future classic vinyl. >this time around< resonates filtery deep funk, soul and house and we are glad its finally here and not called brown noise

in 1986 steve earles new brand of country-rock music was taking nashville by storm. his debut album >guitar town< topped the billboard country album charts, as did the single with the same title.
influenced by bruce springsteen (who was earles eureka!) and townes van zandt (after whom he named his firstborn), this was one of the strongest & most confident debut albums released in the 80s.
he showed an angry literacy, a dark sense of humour & a street-smart snarl that was uncommon amongst his country counterparts and made him stand out amongst the crowd. but he was also ostracised because of his anti-vietnam stance & long hair.
this is the first vinyl re-issue of this double grammy nominated album since its original release! comes on audiophile 180 grams vinyl, including bonus track and insert.

6 track vinyl album with electronica styled productions...

limited to 300 copies on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl.

limited remastered reissue of robert cotters stunning 1980 album timeless on italian label derby. this ultra-rare lp isnt easy to define, straddling a number of genres - funk, jazz, space-rock, italo, and lashings of soul - all overlaid with roberts cool vocals and powerful backing singers. most sought-after tracks on this disco collectors dream are the opening rock me with your love, a nine minute epic mutating from a sweet soul intro into a quitar-lashed space-rock monster by the end, funk killer everything im living for and the futuristically jazzy timeless with its minimal grooving synths. also features the great slo-mo chugger love remains the same and beautiful ballad got to have you near. essential!

with former descent, bas welling (neurobit) is taking his music into a new direction. more than the breakcore, noise and digital hardcore he got know for the last couple of years, you can expect some dancefloor friendly electro experiences, weird dubstep like broken beats, phat acidic basslines and some beautiful ambient to end with. this ep is not for the faint-hearted and shows, once again, that anything could happen on the shipwrec label. highly limited to 200 copies!

february sure isnt the month to laze around when the new rennbahn baby is chasing for your dance. the crotalus ep starts as if there was a crotalus right behind you! the original mix delivers a powerful basedrum and deep synths. the snake sounds, vocal snippets and the use of reverb and delay build a wide and huge atmosphere which leads us directly out of the reality into the heart of the jungle where youd love nothing better than to stay forever. watch out - you shouldnt stop dancing unless you want to get bitten by a snake! the marco fender remix on the flip side takes us out of the jungle into the club. an impulsive beat highlighted by a sub baseline comes to a nice replaying synth melody. here the vocal snippets are not applied to fulfill the song with a deep atmosphere but to complete the hypnotic rhythm of it. watch out - the snake still follows you at every turn! finally miyagis remix comforts us with safety - marching towards the end, it seems like we got rid of the snake. now we can wholeheartedly lose ourselves in very deep synths, floating hi-hats and a mystical and tempting melody. as if this wasnt enough the outstanding beat wont let you take a break and forces you to keep on dancing

the first release in 2012 is coming from funk e better known as laurentiu gavrila hailing from romania.he just started to put out his first productions recently like for example on the desolat x mas sampler.his productions caught our full attention immediately though and we are pretty sure that you will hear a lot more interesting things coming fom this young man in the near future. he has his very own style of producing already and when you listen to his music you also might guess why he has chosen this artist name - the man for sure got the funk!

the music on this two volumes of 2x12 lp features tracks that were the soundtrack to voguing, the dance style that erupted in new york city between 1988–1995.

meet bwana. his tunes started racking up plays and conversations commenced with new music buddies xi, submerse and djd. a variety of different 130bpm sounds were toyed with from dubstep, garage, 2 step, 808 dubstep and his very own mashes of r&b-lead garage-step. it all seemed to work. a bunch of labels got in touch and tracks were signed to mad decent and montreal based infinite machine.

coloured vinyl! sometimes it takes a while, but in the end all good things come together! that’s exactly what happend when our favourite murat tepeli got in touch with us and presented these outstanding tracks. from the jacking >çiftetelli< via deeper territories >mastika< to the core of electronics >good< the whole spectrum from one of germanys most gifted producers! welcome murat!! thanks for purchasing a real copy!

the moustached disco avengers at sccucci manucci drop their latest missive, featuring more transmissions from the disco underground. argentinean based toomy disco provides >what goes around<, a tightly produced disco-house number with horn snippets woven around low-slung grooves, whilst the glue deliver >without you< a hazy slo-mo looper with vocal teases and hypnotic guitar licks. on the flip, south west seven lock themselves into a fast moving groove with >what have i got to do<, a track that contrasts its fast rhythmic pulse with vocals and guitars that slowly emerge from the filtered ether. aeromaschine close proceedings with >deep champagne<, combining a deep and melodic bassline with improvisational touches and glitchy vocal stutters, it successfully forges its own sound whilst keeping in line with his disco counterparts.

excellent 2012 house anthem !! sure shot !! maybe the next baby i got it ( miguel campbell) ??
