it is the collaboration we have all been waiting for! the careers of both catz n dogz and eats everything have been intrinsically linked since the polish duo debuted the incredible mr edible via his agenda-setting *entrance song* on pets in 2011. their relationship was compounded by dirtybird dynamics, both acts sitting on the fringes of house and techno, neither side shy of the rich taste of bass, the work of both eats everything and catz n dogz has always sat side-by-side… but never together. until now.

on uncanny valley s catalogue number 18 we finally welcome back credit 00 who is a man in charge of a decent collection of those dusty machines we all love. after the ice cold the living room life ep from 2012, his brand new record ice cream is easy to fall in love with. packed with tunes to suit various moods in life, it will be a faithful companion in dark basements or lonesome hours. ice cream starts deliciously with its sleazy sample choice. with the distinctive drum work it builds up to a true chicago-inspired dance floor banger. round n round hits hard with a harsh kick and cowbell action before it shows off slightly melancholic lead synths and a subtle but effective bass line and puts the emphasis on the fact that things go round and round. life s a dizzy affair. east of nowhere with that bass line-sound is credit 00 to the core. and with spooky synths he puts you to an east of nowhere-place where you will lose yourself in manic trance-like dancing. the record ends with red wine , a slightly different electronic love song sung by credit 00. the cover artwork was created by alexander dorn.

lph whites second offering picks up where the first one, by waze & odyssey, left us. that 12inch featured a remix by london-by-way-of southern-california house up-and-comer, urulu, who produced all four of the tracks included on this ep. left coast is an ode to taylor freels home turf, but dont think its all blissed-out balearic burners one might listen to while rolling down a palm tree-lined stretch of the pacific coast highway. every one of the four songs is a cranked-up, high-octane, peak-hour monster

kinfolk head to philly for kinfolk004, welcoming committed vinyl rummager and top notch dj billy werner into the fold. this 10 inch is the apparent end product of that rare occurrence where budding producer sends label unsigned tracks that are actually decent. *kick & flutter* is a blinky blue sunrise of a tune, innocent, euphoric and, dare we say, totally balearic... not retro but timeless. *where the sea meets the stones* treads a similar line but with a more incessant acidic undertone. both perfect for chasing sunrises and sunsets... as is traditional you get a soft rocks remix to boot... murmured voices, gentle pulses and psychedelic repetition. did any of the original make it in there? just relax and enjoy it...

slams new three track single flawlessly encaptures the modern drumcode sound. movement trundles forward with snare rolls and funky percussion. the synth line keeps the funky groove rolling along until the snare roll break where it then crescendos effortlessly back into the track. the realms synth line weaves in and out of the beat, filtering up and down to create intensity before unleashing itself into aural pleasure. irrational numbers takes an unusual rhythmic synth pattern and creates a groove that will make the dance floor shuffle. layered with pads, the track uses depth to create a distinctive character

ontology is the beginning of reality. pulsing rhythms as categories of being are acting like entities in a dusty void. sparkles of light underlines the times of creation, where nothing existed before. since nothing really existed for the human being, silence was full of noises.pulsation as the archaic form of life.

every label has a >release of doom<, a 12 inch that was an incredible pain in the ass to put together and where everything imaginable went wrong. well this new trevino record was it! i wont go into details but this ep is too good to let bad karma prevail. >gone< has been a staple in my sets ever since i first heard it and >regnie< is possibly one of the best nighttime highway driving tracks (try it!). trevino, is he the best golfer in techno, or the most innovative techno producer on the golf circuit? fact is, im so happy this record finally sees the light of day and would be even happier if youd be into it too...

for those who know the story of the bridge wars, there is some irony found in the fact that scott la rock, representing the south bronx, was born in queens, though he did relocate to the south bronx at a very young age. after graduating high school la rock spent four years in vermont at castleton college where he earned varsity letters in basketball, but more importantly for the world of hip hop he became more and more enamored with music. on graduation he returned to new york and began working as a dj and as a social worker at the franklin armory mens shelter in the bronx. it was at the shelter that scott met kris parker and the duo formed boogie down productions. the rest, as they say, is history. roughly a year after the tragic shooting death of boogie down productions founder, dj and producer scott la rock b boy records and krs-one issued this special remix album, a man and his music (remixes from around the world). billed as a limited edition collectors classic the project was released in a limited run – briefly available in the 90s – and now after years of being unavailable reappears as a tribute to one of the genres early pioneers.

vicissitude - zu deutsch wandel, wechselhaftigkeit, unbeständigkeit - ist der titel des neuen, dritten albums von maps alias james chapman, das anfang juli auf mute erscheint. schwang im zweitling *tuning the mind* noch der hedonismus des mercury price nominierten erfolgsdebüts *we can create* nach, vermittelt das wunderschöne indie-rock/pop-album *vicissitude* nun die unmittelbare konfrontation chapmans mit der realität: *writing and recording coincided with quite a lot of things in my life changing. although things are good for me now, every song on the record comes from a long period of me having to take stock, to start again almost. i took myself out of everything and had a hard look at what i wanted to do and where i wanted to take maps.* den letzten feinschliff der platte übernahmen produzent und sound engineer ken thomas (sugarcubes, m83, sigur ros), der zuletzt auch an *we can create* mitarbeitete, und sein sohn joylon, der schon als programmierer und produzent für bands wie s.c.u.m. und telepathe aktiv war.

gilesku records is back with two eccentric minimalistic techno tracks delivered by onur ozer. obviously heavily influenced by peak hours in the club, these tracks will serve their purpose right, providing a perfect hook to drive people further in a higher state of consciousness. by paying close attention to detail, he manages to provide music where he bravely paints fat techno sounds with minimalistic elements, layering them by unconventional noises in the background. a peak time material!

cam consequences new label, etcht records is sure to be a continuation of whats already begun for this exciting producer. theres an intellectual curiosity that questions and opposes what we should expect in these anticipated debut tracks. its that sense of the unknown that makes this an exciting, inquisitorial listen. mclaren presents questions. theres a sense of reaching in the juxtaposition or conflict between melodic gentleness and the force of the unknown that first butts heads in, lyon, where we are shaken awake and innocently marched forward, only to be left dangling at the edge. it is that sudden cessation, the technique of knowing when to stop that leaves you with an inexplicable yearning for more...

limited vinyl reissue for highly sought-after 1976 lp disco madness from milton hamilton crystalized.

> cant wait<,is reminiscent of some of vonstrokes deeper classics while also pushing further into new territory. a sense of restraint and release play games throughout this melancholy tune with a fat bassline locking down the groove. >cant wait< has fleeting moments of euphoria that are both surprising and uplifting especially for a summer open air crowd. coming up strong on the b-side, >the clapping track< shows us the fun side of vonstroke where he cuts apart 16 claps and then brings them back together - building up to a standing ovation as a resonate organ sounds. this house anthem has already been destroying the dirtybird ibiza residency and summer festival circuit as well.

- enemy records artist decimal returns, offering the second release in his imaginative impulse control series. picking up where impulse 1s obscuro left off, main molecule experiments with mixing and synthesizers to explore new modes of climax and sustainment. an upbeat tempo and playful use of vocal samples and varied clanking percussion elements make this is a sure fire crowd pleaser for peak time sets. vitruvian lamb, a minimal techno piece with a bubbling groove, has an eerie breakdown where little more than a single chord rises and falls to build tension, captivate, and create a kind of subdued intensity, the perfect fuel for the afterhours fire

for the fourth r-zone, we serve up three more tracks of fizzing atmospheric house. first track exclamation is rough and rugged with rattling percussion hidden behind layers of grainy sci fi ambiance and the breathy exhalations of a male voice. nebulous pads and synths spiral around each other forming a dense layer of dust and next track march of the worms is even more militant. this one crawls deep below the surface where analogue machines carve out weird patterns, forming a truly knackered sounding house groove. finally, claustrophobic habits bangs a bit harder, its all splintered drums and coarse claps backed with a howling, gnarly groan and truly transports you to a sonic universe miles away from the norm.

dont wait for yonks! nail returns with the yonks ep on sheffields shabby doll label. just what is house musics secret? what has enabled it to disperse its genes throughout contemporary music while still staying true to itself and remaining, frankly, irresistible? if there is one man who appears to possess the answer – or who at least has access to the secret vault where the formulas kept – it is nail.

during the summer of 2012 before the rains came, the captain headed for the interior and in a lost valley far from the world of men he jammed with a tribe of initiates ... the valley people. the results were channelled via ether waves to ocean moon central aka the centre of sound where seahawks guided them to vinyl in their own sweet way. echoes of fern kinney on helium, nick nicely on mogadon, kraftwerk jamming in the jungle whilst aliens land their craft ready for a cosmic lounge party. listen out for ethereal soul sounds, island funk and dream wave ... ghost vibrations from beyond the reef where they dream of sliver rivers and sleep under the stars.
pressing on translucent, purple couloured vinyl.

part 2 concludes killawatts largest body of music to date, the opposing rhetoric ep, a 6 track opus of truly progressive uk underground sound that melds his influences from dubstep and techno with expansive, high-tension sound design. the eps second triplet of beats feature his most overtly techno-focussed sounds yet, expanding his horizons and dropping the pace down to 125bpm, and delivers punishing dancefloor rigidity and bass-immersed sonic force. on black air, killawatt threads tightly coiled syncopations above a grinding 4×4 structure, and delivers a near-cacophonic but ultimately heavy full-sensory overload. the flipside is divided between the churning swell of dark industrial aesthetics on art of discourse, and the moody permutations of reactive technique, where rippling melodic shimmers provide accentuation to its pounding sub-density.

persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world! in this era of nü-disco, space disco, cosmic disco, disco house and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court. let the labels fall and just get it movin.

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
