with this first ep, s.o.n.s pays homage to the early age of electronic dance music, when techno, house and trance were friendly to each other, when tracks were full of deepness and harmonics, when drums were crazy and raw, when techno was soulful. yeah, this is all about this ep, some soulful deep techno excursions. while the a1 is an after-hours emotional weapon freely inspired by an obscure m. goddard production some will recognize, the a2 is a more straight forward electro track with dark vocals and rising chords, as they made it in detroit back in the days. on the other side of the record is a techno journey through a rainforest with pan flute, deep chords and old school bassline. plus there is a little bonus locked groove: a mere 4/4 tr909 bass drum s.o.n.s personally uses in their crazy obscure techno mixes. turquoise vinyl + foil sticker on cover, limited to 200 copies. mastered by matt colton (l.i.e.s, apron…)

as you might know, komplike is a new danish label with the imprint of quality, creativity and care. and now, its time for our second release. komplike002 is delivered by the dutch duo >formel< with remixes from the norwegian producer, terje bakke and komplikes own italian artist, joor ghen. on this release – which carries the name >manitoba< – we will go a little deeper, compared to our first release. the two originals >harare< and >manitoba< are both very melodic and hypnotizing tracks. terje bakke takes us another way, sound wise, in his >other way remix< and creates a more driving and old-school vibe, while joor ghen takes us into his groovy and minimal world.

following the success of its first release by the ever elusive jason grove, the vinyl-only sub-label skylax extra series returns with a little something beyond special. for those house-heads in the know, the man needs no introduction, but for those uninitiated, sit back and prepare for this double 12” selection to further your education in house music.joey kay hails from chicago in the us and has influenced a great many producers in the last two decades with his signature take on the deep house sound. he keeps things simple in the best possible sense of the word, stripping back tracks to their bare essentials in order to maintain what the spirit of house music is all about: the groove, the soul and the feeling of being carefree, even if only experienced for a few minutes at a time. there are no superfluous or ancillary sounds in joey’s music and this is all the more evident when taking a step back and listening to his spectrum of output in this collection, which spans more than twenty years of his career.

ltd 2015 repress !! moodymanns >its 2 late 4 u and me< was one of our favourite songs last year and therefore its a great pleasure for us to get the official permission from mr.dixon to publish this nice remix. what can you do with a perfect song as remixer? youandme take this challenge and try to transform it a little bit more to the dancefloor and work out a lot of details carefully with much respect for the great original

in about 2003 i did some work for deepfunk and northern soul legend keb darge and as was the way back then i received payment in vinyl. included in the pile was this little detroit number which i instantly fell in love with. in 1980 david mcmurray and adell shavers and david mcmurray (who went on to be a member of 80s hit band was not was) wrote and produced this amazing detroit modern / boogie 45 which for some reason suffered the same fate of many of aotn releases and disappeared from history. but thanks to the generation of collectors before me this gem sat safely in northern collection such as kebs for years waiting for its day in the sun. it only got limited play but recently the record has had a resurgence in popularity and value which it deserves. after a tip off from jason stirland (soulstax records) i found david mcmurray and it was wonderful to find he was keen to help me bring this wonderful 45 back into the limelight. so here we are…

we dont question the relevance of techno in the current musical landscape, but look back ten years or so and youll figure things were a little stagnant and uninspiring. the techno scene in berlin certainly did a lot to spruce new life in the genre and people like merbeck with his vault series releases were somehow pioneers of the industrial-influenced sound we now celebrate and take for granted. now landing on m_rec ltd. with a 3 track ep, the berlin resident fuses his aggressive sound with the hypnotic, dark-room elements that have defined the labels vision. m_rec ltd. starts 2015 with a nasty release: three tracks that fit any moment of a proper techno set.

dj haus goes a little freaky on the helta skelta ep. this 4 track ep show his strangely funky side with some odd and jerky rhythms and melodies. it takes its cues from the windy city but doesnt hide dj haus roots in the uk with a bleepy techno twist and pirate radio energy.

third child is a new project aimed to mix sounds micro-house and house music ..very influenced by the sounds of artists such as:three angles, zavor, sammy dee, cabanne, and many others. ep of 4 tracks including remixes of sonartek producing for kismet records, sono vivo, baile musik, little helpers, get physical music, hypergroove, sonartek are known for and are distinguished by their obsessive research for analogical sounds towards the creation of deep atmospheres.

oscar barila & sergio parrado (kling klong, material series, trapez, plastic city, highway records, my little dog) comes on metropolitan with a huge track with a very cool sample that, we are sure, will move many heads! on a2 there is the remix by fabian argomedo (kd music, bla bla) with his deep-tech style for the most demanding situation! limited copies!

for a brief moment turin was italys sheffield, producing an astonishing number of diy electronic groups. in the context of a wider europe, italy has never been thought of as a hotbed of minimal electronic music, but mannequin records compilations danza meccanica: italian synth wave 1982-1987 have shone a light on a scene little heard, even within italys borders. but the history was still incomplete ... some new horizons now must be unveiled, showing that between the years of 1982 and 1984, the city of turin in northwest italy was home to a quiet underground renaissance of experimental electronic music.

for the latest edition of the intriguing dessert islands discs re-edit series, the label has called upon the well-renowned scalpel talents of german-in-amsterdam marcel vogel, aka em vee. the double denim-sporting eccentric drops another gem in the shape of *white heat shake it out (edit)*, a bouncy and seductive disco chop-job that makes great use of the source materials bustling groove and steamy, spoken word vocals. on the flip, lesser-known re-edit heads papi del pancake and claude von reefer take up the challenge. their *gimme what you got* has a little more deep house shuffle, but retains the key instrumentation and feel of a sumptuous disco-soul jam.

special double pack for all you fortezza lovers out there - contains two classic releases:

- fortezza 002: ef, manuel di martino, federico grazzini, alex dinou - hydra

ruff records unearths a rare australian (com)oddity… the self titled ‘flat static lp recorded in reservoir, melbourne in 1985… originally privately issued in miniscule quantity, ruff gives this weirdo post-punk fossil its first proper edition

the occasional (but always excellent) street edits series returns, this time with a trio of high-grade scalpel works from chicago re-edit hero rahaan. as usual, the source material is dusty and obscure, and the reworks revelatory. -city of disco- is in many ways typical of rahaan s work, with carefully cuts and loops being used to create a thumping, house style groove (admittedly one that pays due reverence to the source material). there s more of a celebratory, soulful feel about the impeccable -strung out-, which turns a little-known disco-soul gem into a huggable dancefloor classic. best of all, though, is -brighten you up-, which sits somewhere between later electrofunk and early house, a proto-proto gem, perhaps. either way, it s a killer.

is it balearic recordings latest is the reflextion ep from baldelli & rocca. 3 electronic disco bombs and a quality remix from ray mang. rteflextion is a driving synth italo disco stomper. mr mang adds a little acid and a touch odf house. side b s first track is a classically italo disco dancefloor gem lots of symth action a flappy percussion give this a hypnotic quality ready for some smoke drenched dancefloors. out to lunch is a more quircky take on the same theme. like a lost maxi 12 b-side pf an italian elctropop ftrack from the late 80 s. great ep.

limited hand stamped 7 inch, we can t remember the last time we came across a 7- single of straight-up deep house. certainly, it s a novelty, though there s little novel or cheeky about the two tracks showcased on this diddy, coloured vinyl release from spain s minuendo label. 2deepsoul s a-side, -home-, is effortlessly melodious - a warm, rich and enticing blend of shuffling rhythms, swirling chords and the kind of blissfully electronic melodies that make you want to dance with your eyes shut. there s a more organic and quietly soulful feel about owen jay and melchior sultana s flipside effort, -deserted-. blessed with a delicious double bass line, bespoke keys and a whisper of motor city techno (in terms of the electronics, at least), it s a sublime chunk of sensual deepness.

madness is like gravity: all it takes is a little push. color vinyl. fifth release on berlin s i/y. each side offers a different world of tension. enjoy!

nobody knows at the beginning of september, myr. is an artist who remains shrouded in mystery. his debut ep nobody knows avalon is set to be released through recognised cologne label pnn on january the 19st, yet as the title suggests, still very little is known about the man behind the music. myr.s wish to withhold information is made obvious through the choice of track names on the ep: nobody knows, avalon and homii are all titles clearly designed to provoke the listeners curiosity, whilst upholding a sense of the enigmatic.

havamal inspired briton will flisk takes his filmic approach to music to the streets with his first output on our curious little imprint. with the help of good friend black merlin (george thompson) on synths and drum machines and natasya hodges on cello, this amazingly orchestrated title track (red planet) takes us to different planets and back, even though our money is too short for commercial space travel. nashville, tennessees very own grey people (alex j michalski) works his distortion on a sinister remix (b1) thats leaning towards the more techno side of things. for the b2, will bestowed an amazing bit of roughness upon us.

fasaan records from malmo are back with their seventh release from label regular golden ivy ! live and loosely assembled scando-disco & tropical tundra tunes abound, as breezy melodies paddle out across the funk fjords on sturdy drum machine rhythm tracks... three fresh gi tracks that embody the fasaan sound perfectly - and a little ray of sunshine to keep us going until spring.

really, aardvarck should need little introduction. while some of the artists featured on voyage direct are just beginning their musical journeys, mike kivits has been at the forefront of the dutch scene since the tail end of the 1980s.

jetzt ist es an der zeit das halbe dutzend voll zu machen und wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir dafuer den jungen und talentierten hannoveraner iorie gewinnen konnten. >and the gang ep< heisst sein beitrag und dabei driftet er keineswegs in musikalisch gefilde ab, die diesen begriff gepraegt haben, sondern praesentiert uns 3 abwechslungsreiche originale, die sich wunderbar in den modernen deep house kontext einfuegen. und um das gesamtpaket komplett abzurunden konnten wir auch noch keinen geringeren als siopis für einen remix gewinnen!

following on from the sublime debut ep from all is well, luca bacchetti is proud to present eduardo de la calles >sanskrit veda< ep as the madrid-born artists drops a scintillating four-track ep of hypnotic techno on the endless imprint. the artist who has issued music on cadenza, mule and his own label analog solutions, created the >sanskrit veda< ep while producing from his ashram home set among the mountainous area of malaga. little surprise the tracks should take on a particular transcendental vibe, as eduardo spins gloriously otherworldly techno across four timeless creations.

anything eddie ruscha touches is generally worth checking, and this latest outing for lectric sands offshoot it’s a lectric world is no exception. ruscha kicks things off with the electric dub, an untypically funky fusion of his usual vivid psychedelics, exotic vocal samples, crunchy guitars and an undulating disco-rock groove. the original rub - all bubbling electronics, muted guitar licks and deep house warmth - adds a little balearic disco flavour, before ruscha returns to more familiar territory with the delay-laden and pleasingly out-there lectric dub. finally, he reaches for the marimbas on the pleasing dub, an afro-influenced blast of wide-eyed balearic sunshine complete with lilting pedal steel.

little fluffy rave clouds…

ronald burrell s reputation as deep house royalty has long been solidified throughout the years having released on many legendary labels since the late 80 s including nervous, nu-groove, strictly rhythm & many more. working both solo and alongside his brother rheji his output has always caught the interest and ears of dance music aficionados world-wide with a heady mixture of gospel, soul / r&b, jazz, & garage heavily informing his sound. surprising as it is, -it s a boy- was never released, only ever existing as a test pressing! the 4 track ep takes in all the musical influences listed above and flips them into some seriously deep territory. opener -journey- is an epic jam punctuated by an 808 cowbell, beautiful pads, strings and ronald s voice asking us to join him on a journey through our own minds. second cut -feelin jazzy- picks up the pace a little, a stripped back rhythm blessed with some choice, chopped up jazz samples and vocal stabs keeps things moving in the right direction. over on side-b we are treated to the deepest groove of -bedtime story-, which has all the trademarks of a classic burrell production, soulful vocals, melodies and crisp drum programming. closing track -the crib- rounds things with off with a stomping church inspired organ groove, an up-lifting end to the ep. as mentioned above, this is the very first time this underground house classic has ever been released! this record is a real collectors piece and has commanded collectors prices on-line in the past, a real rarity. it has been re-mastered and re-pressed in conjunction with ronald burrell from his original dat tapes and all original label artwork has been preserved.

sometimes, there is a certain attention for a new artist and you can actually feel that this one is about to go through the roof. this is exactly the feeling we have with few nolder right now. with releases and tracks on boso, suol, cloud vision and not to forget his little summer hit *if* on connaisseur in late august, the vilnius resident has caught quite some attention over the last months. now, he completes this successful and busy year with his frst full ep on connaisseur called *moli*, featuring three new lovely tracks.

like many of the greatest italo-disco records, tony espositos 1983 double a-side je-na/pagaia is ridiculously rare. put it this way: if you fancy nabbing yourself an original copy, it will make a serious dent in your wallet. this welcome reissue presents both tracks in their original 12inch glory, mixed with clubs in mind by mariano boncaldo of klein & m.b.o fame. its the a-side thats arguably the pick of the pair, featuring as it does a balearic-friendly blend of dense, bongo-laden rhythms, tribal chants and delay heavy guitars. theres a bit more of a hazy disco bounce to pagaia, which sounds a little like a long lost tullio de piscopo record, all jazz-fusion scat singing, sunny horns and shuffling rhythms.

if youre going to launch a label, it pays to hit the ground running with your first release. thats exactly what the people behind falstaff have done with this impressive debut. it features tracks from longtime pals max d and hashman deejay. the formers track, shoegaze, continues the washington d.c producers recent trend of delivering tracks that defy easy categorization. this one is a blend of ghetto-tech, deep house and dreamy chords, with cut-up samples of various descriptions riding an urgent groove. hashman deejays samba is a little more orthodox, sitting somewhere between deep detroit techno and humid samba house. its a thing of rare beauty.

we were long craving a little female touch here at off headquarters and we have luckily found exactly the right dose of girl-powered funk to amaze our fans all over the globe. me & her are two musical soul-sisters bridging different cultures and talents.

the first installment in the vinyl edition of the thema compilation strength in numbers finds the new york label reaching into its deepest corners to deliver four psychoactive cuts for the most discerning of djs and dancers alike to lose themselves in. norm talley has been a mainstay of the detroit electronic music scene since the mid 90s, and the sublime, pad-enriched tones of *space talk* perfectly sum up the mysterious soul he has made his name on. damien k. sahri shares the a side with talley, and despite being a newer talent previously seen on little helpers and adltd, his slender and immersive everything joint stands up to comparison with the caliber on this record. pressing on white colored & black marbled vinyl.

original motion picture soundtrack from disneys *the little mermaid* on 12 inch picture vinyl.

none of them make music for the twenty-second century. the duo is constantly deconstructing its stylistic boundaries and follows traditions only to destroy them. on stage, signup (anymouse, big zis, grenzgänger) is the master of ceremony, michal ho (tuning spork, nicetry, etc.) is the selector. vocals glide over beats generated in little boxes full of flashing lights, sometimes smooth, sometimes razor-sharp. the debut album *one of them* will be released on nicetry records and comes on double 12 inch vinyl with download code included.
