both men speak a very similar language, moreover, they are in their human nature like-minded people, which may explain the successful convergence in this conception. detailed and playful dance music for the sensitive and delicate nature, with a fresh summery touch.

reflected 001 oblivion comes from mjutah, click|click and mario aureo. after debuting in france, the duo behind florian rietze gained a very good name for deep house productions. side a includes more dancefloor orientated tracks than side b, which is the more festival orientated one, hence the name. click|click, the label head of kassette records and palms & flamingos, who also released on labels like get physical, cajual records and katermukke, did a rough 2014 house remix of get high. mario aureo remixed get low and contributes another very exciting aspect on reflected 001. he is the label manager of ritter butzke studio and also released on labels like einmaleins musik, off recordings and boug

hold the front page! we first got a listen to these cuts while washed up in an after the after a couple of weeks ago, a bit of sober investigation led us to a fiendish plot involving a host of anonymous, though very well known artists, all contributing straight up, in-the-moment club music of the highest calibre ! needless to say, we shook hands on what is promising to be a very memorable and collectible series…night parade based on the japanese folklore of the *night parade of one hundred demons* each release in the series will take the name of a demon/monster from folklore and a graphic artist is asked to interpret/re-imagine it in their own style - sleeves will be hand screen-printed & each release limited to 300 copies. the music is by an anonymous collection of producers from all over the world.

the 6th offering by public possession comes from our old friend anton klint. we have been playing records together for many years and he is for sure one of the best rock/disco djs we know. he has put out a few records together with his partner edvin edvinson as tiedye in the past, but this is his first ever solo production to be released. we are very happy that we could work with him on this one and are now able to present to you the spritzer ep.

something tells me this ones gonna be big. uzuri 020 comes from jitterbug, and its great to have him back. followers of the label will be very familiar with this producers work, even if they know very little about the man himself. im not going to shatter the mystique.

two years after his debut single he returns with a five track ep featuring i wonder why and four other tracks. his previous work was recognised early by the fader but instead of pumping out more releases, he took his time and the result is a great progression as a producer. not only was the ep recorded at his home, different rooms were actually sampled in the process. all with an increased number of textured synths en better drumlines blending into an ep with a very organic sound.

grab the new s&c 005 record, a split 12inch by ender & stiletti-ana, put it on and lay down on your sofa. hear the opening groove from enders track p.l.i.h. and find your self getting up immediately to turn the stereo a little louder. adapt your self to the super tight, locked & futuristic and very original techno groove. watch especially out for the killer stab line in it as it is just something you will most likely find your self humming while shopping or taking your dog out. after the original mix of p.l.i.h. you will hear the stiletti-ana s stripped down version. he must have cut everything else out in his mix with his switch blade besides the ruthless stab line. dig the endless and ever growing stab jacking and remember that p.l.i.h side of the record is very serious and addictive for both club & home users. turn the record around and go back to your sofa. hear the twisted detroitian afro acid disco of stiletti-ana s track i got the master unit. filled with merciless synths and forcing rhythms i got the master unit leaves no questions of the keeper of that unit. the user of the unit seems to turn all things to the max and play midi tracks with tesla coil a like instruments. after the original it is ender s time to use the master unit and turn down the lights and ask the question: do you think that there will be something nice happening soon?

hot city orchestra is a reformation of a band, which was originally formed in 1998. at the age of 17, arno völker (einzelkind) and simon birkenfeld became friends and started making drum and bass music together. they toured all over germany with their record label and had residencies at robert johnson in offenbach and tanzhaus west in frankfurt. after gaining years of experience within the breakbeat scene, arno went on to become einzelkind with releases on playhouse, cocoon, white and his own imprints la peña, jax and pressure traxx as well as worldwide dj gigs. simon was still focusing on his breakbeat career for another year, making an album with a uk drum and bass legend, but it was never released. he stopped making music and started focusing on his career in pr and marketing, where he mostly worked on music and art projects. during this time, the long-time friends arno and simon came up with the idea to launch the blog-network-project www.disco-very. net now, 16 years later, after making first beats together, the boys are back! a tiny bit older, much wiser, more handsome and around 50 bpm slower.

detroit young gun rawaat finally steps up with his debut vinyl release for lobster theremin. having carefully honed an inimitable sound that caresses the left-facing corners of house, techno, ambient and beats, this marks the start of what promises to be a very special year for the mid west talent. rawaats own diy tape imprint, crisis urbana, simultaneously provided the breeding ground and outlet for ideas and a collective mentallity that is beginning to define a new wave of detroit producers, and listening to their discography it is immediately clear where those tape-saturated, cut-and-paste jams found their roots.

warmer than warm club/techno groovers by the man brooks mosher, delivering his third release on dolly. 4 very strong cuts with exactly that dreamy & sensual feeling which might be the main reason why we like to dance & sweat in the dark so much... body to body with the eyes closed, far away from everyday trouble... dance, make love and heal yourself. powerful dj-tool on several levels!

if you are into the type of techno-infused house beats that drive dancefloors crazy, theres very little chance that you havent yet heard of jay lumen, one of the most prolific tech-house producers in today s scene.

on this first release of his newly created imprint, southsoniks presents a very special track just another chord song, extracted from his live-act and reworked with care in the studio

nice price deal !!! two years after releasing his first album “lessons in dub”, marc brings ostwind another melodic techhouse tune called >seriously?<. on the flip niconé (dantze / stil vor talent) comes with a brilliant and very intelligent “ahhahaa” remix.

the original pressing from sterling moss his solo release on flatlife is a killer! the countdown track is an uplifting and very energenic dancefloor track with on the a side the underground killer hyperdrive! with 2 totally different remixes from jack wax (melodic oldschool) & ddr (raw acid) , this release is completed! it comes in the black flatlife sleeve again and the white vinyl with black in it, gives this vinyl the flatlife signature again. enjoy this one!

having made a nice splash for himself with his recent outing on delusions of grandeur and recent string of quality releases on his own imprint, shadeleaf, we are proud to welcome in thatmanmonkz for our next release on kolour ltd. he serves up three immense cuts of deep, underground rhythms with that infamous touch of soul that is quickly becoming his own trademark. remix duties were laid upon someone weve had our eye on for quite some time now - glenn astro. his unique musical vision & precise execution is on full display with his remix of remember and the end result speaks for itself. needless to say were very excited to have him in! altogether its an exceptional package of tunes more than worthy for the 16th slot in our kolour ltd catalogue!

phantasy are very proud to present a remix of daniel averys *all i need* by a hero of the techno scene, hero of the house scene, hero of the everything electronic scene: herr roman flügel with one of the labels biggest reworks to date. on the flip, chilean sonic soundsmith ricardo tobar takes *these nights never end* and delivers the kind of beautiful, intricate rework that made his recent album treillis such a beguiling trip.

surf dude is stockholm-based producer hnny poppin the cherry on the brand new label yummy. released in a see-through limited edition vinyl, dressed as crisp as those milky waves only a cocky surf dude would try to conquer. hnny has been yearning, and kissing and sneezing us up on the dance floor. but now its time to deliver his tunes in his very own honey pot, and boy is it yummy!

for nearly two decades, ploink has promoted techno nights around norway, presenting local talent as well as some of the biggest acts from around the world. we just really like techno. our definition of the genre is fairly wide though, constantly evolving, which we have attempted to reflect in this our first release, compiling four very different tracks by local producers from our hometown of bergen. setting up a label branch has for years been a burried, old plan. to us, techno parties, no matter how unique and brilliantly planned, have such a short lifespan, and as such it feels good to finally start releasing something that can get a life of its own, perhaps grow into something entirely different.

in contrast to his *heart* release, scrases *another* ep provides a dark and twisted journey down more alien avenues - the streaming melodies & warm atmospheres of the previous ep supplanted by arcane wooden rhythms and mechanised bass movements. *another* delivers a slab of crawling, warehouse-weight with an eastern flavour, *movon* provides a minimal take on uk bass music fine-tuned to devastating effect. the three percussive tracks littered throughout the release explore a very different angle, combining dusty wooden rhythms with dread-filled tones and complex manipulations, lending the diverse collection of tracks a strong ritualistic feeling, topped off with a brooding remix of the title track by the ever consistent irish techno duo lakker.

providing a state-of-the-art rejuvenation of 90s ambient house, the heart ep (the first in a 2-part set of records) serves as a fluent example of the lighter side of greg scrases previously little-known, but masterfully honed craft – here paying homage to the past greats of electronica, drawing together different threads of influence and applying them to his own colourful sonic palette. the white 12 inch contains 3 exquisite original tracks that bubble and grow with a vibrant analogue charm, imbued with scrases house-ier tendencies and melodic capabilities - backed-up by a very special remix of *flyover* from like-minded acid aficionado dave monolith (under the moniker mnlth).

f.i.c is an initiative by darker than wax (singapore) and cascade records (france), independent labels from different continents have come together to present a very special and heartfelt project. this lp marks a milestone, besides being an exclusive collaboration between the labels, it also features a conglomerate of many different artistes from all over the world.

nobody can deny the fact that vilnius in lithuania is currently a very creative and agile place. first and foremost mario basanov of course, whose ten walls moniker swept the board last year and whose hype seems to have only just started. his popularity was heightened by the start of his own label boso. it took off with the highly praised -walking with elephants-, which was already one of the biggest tunes of this summer, before it even came out. the second release is by few nolder, another highly talented native from vilnius, who showed frst signs of life on connaisseur with his lovely tune -space espace- on our last edition of livingroom techno as well as with his remix for -canto d amore- by marco effe & francesco carone. -clouds- is the name of his boso release, and it looks to be the next big thing for this young label. for his frst own release on connaisseur he delivered -if-.the fact that it is different from his other output is why we have decided to present this tune in two versions as a 10- vinyl-only single. the original is a summerish and catchy house cut with a bouncy bassline and a slightly uk-approach.this tune makes you move without there being much you can do about it. the alt version goes deeper, building up with a question/answer theme until a strong, driving piano element joins to complete the track. lovers of older pokerflat releases will truly enjoy this version.

that man, craig mcnamara aka last magpie, is proving a popular choice round here at hypercolour/losing suki hq. with various eps and remixes for both our labels, it s also rubbed off on some of our artists too, with the likes of maya jane coles being a big supporter (getting a last magpie re-rub of her everything track on her new label i/am/me). his always on point blend of genres, from bumpin garage kissed house to hardcore bass monsters mark him out as a very versatile producer, and on the she won t let ep, the magpie once again spreads his wings over four cuts.

when sonar kollektiv is presenting musical diggings you can be assured some real gems show up. and what a revelation is the cosmic disco by venezuelan producer daniel grau! an elusive monographic showcase of his very productive creative period between 1978 and 1982 will be released as a double cd on the berlin quality imprint later this year.

z records are back with vol 7 in the attd series: a1 yes, another killer cut on zr. zo!s gorgeous soul tune featuring eric roberson and phonte gets subtly housed up mix by dave lee. a record you will be hearing all summer at more musically inclined parties across the world. a2 jakattas house classic american dream gets a very cool bassline driven remix from andre crom & chi thanh… b1 new and unreleased…. b2 akabu feat. alex mills *everybody wants something* was an enormous tune for many in 2013 and is still getting played by big name djs in bustling nightclubs around the world. now we give you an off the chain/on point/un-believable remix from rhemi. we are not going to describe the nuances of the remix and highlight why the aforementioned big name djs like dropping the track in their sets at cool clubs/festivals/corporate events but its pretty bloody good…

2014 repress !! salz have done another rework for telrae we are really happy with and on the flip side there is a remix from the cologne artists joerg mueller who has remixed salz stainless dub.with very much attention for the sound. joerg develops sounds for cars as a profession.

it s been a long, long time since coyu produced an ep full of original tracks for his beloved kitty label. september of 2013 was the last party groovers from him. through all these months our mastercat has released several eps on cocoon recordings, snatch! records, noir music, bedrock records and some edits and original tracks with ramiro lopez and edu imbernon that have been released on suara. finally, we have our mastercat alone with two oustanding cuts. in my mind is a dark techno track with a break that it will literally blow your head up... balls , however, is a very housey and summery cut that will definetely break your hips because of the instantly recognisable vocals and the killer darbuka rhythm. enjoy this is 100% coyu!

our next ep comes from our homie toby t a very talented and promising mannheimer artist of the mono crew his first release came this year on alboratory with a huge bunte bummler remix and now he got support from dubsons and ittetsu.

itokim, aka tendo-based producer takuro ito, aligns with dj bone s subject detroit label with the subject japan: rhythm poems ep and his opening gambit certainly leaves a dent. -motechnique- has been a staple of bone s 3 deck attacks in recent months and it will have eyebrows raised and mouths open from the off. weighty but warm kicks start as they mean to go on, bursting with pace and vigour as thrusts and stabs pinprick the brooding chords. the laidback, easy-going connotations of the title to -roll up and shine- are very much the ethos and aesthetic of the production, as a playful, bubbling melody sets a warm and almost sugary tone from the off before being bolstered by a suave melange of full-bodied kick and dexterous percussion. itokim rounds off his first outing on subject detroit with -the mood device-, a to the point groover that melds elements of the previous productions to stunning effect. a genuine builder of a track with a straight and true trajectory, -the mood device- melds innumerable coatings of percussion and synth as stabs are layered and layered again, clotting and coagulating the composition in to one delightfully deep and multidimensional slice of formidable dancefloor composite.

jason kincade aka the mayor writes: i’ve been given the task of writing about three new instalments in the channel xxx series, inspired by the late, great mangiami restaurant. from 2006 until its lamented closing in 2012 mangiami was the downtown clubhouse for a very new york cross-section of djs, artists, musicians, fashion people, music obsessives and assorted layabouts.

sometimes the right things just fall into the right place and so it happened with an old track by thomas p. heckmann under his drax disguise, named section 2. originally released as techno s first ever 7inch, it was very popular in 1993 and paved the way for the huge follow ups like drax three -phosphene and the hugely influential and successful drax ltd.ii - amphetamine.

groove line records completes the summer schedule with the third 12” in our series of properly licensed rare disco / funk reissues. next up is another title from the collector’s holy grail, the brothers’ promo 12” for the 1976 album don t stop now. this features one of the most sought after instrumental tracks of the 1970 s, under the skin. a luscious disco orchestration with full horn and string sections playing alongside an infectious conga groove played and arranged by warren schatz and his band, the brothers. the second side has long versions of two tracks from the album, brothers theme and make love. both tracks have the same hallmark of luxurious string and brass sections as under the skin with the brothers providing the driving grooves and bhen lanzaroni coming to the fore with his keyboard skills. all groove line records releases are fully licensed and taken from the original master tapes, remastered by nick robbins at sound mastering, and cut by matt colton at alchemy (mastering engineer of the year 2013). all vinyl is heavy weight 180g manufactured optimal media in germany, one of the world’s finest pressing plants. groove line records cut no corners when making sure that each and every one of our releases has the highest quality performance possible. the next three 12s are due in the autumn. groove line records’ deluxe reissue of under the skin is an essential purchase for any serious disco, jazz or funk vinyl collector who demands the very best in quality vinyl pressings

taken from a mysterious acetate cut by derrick may in 1987 this release was originally penned for kms offshoot pheerce citi. both these sides were later released - the darkside = as a relic (by longer than long ago) and tic tic tic was later released on the limited edition compilation as music institute 20th anniversary as untitled. both tracks are however, very hard to get on vinyl and have now been re issued as loud 45rpm pressings in pheerce citi artwork and remastered for 2014. great techno obscurity!
