since his debut in 2009, loops haunt has continued to confound and excite with an output as mercurial as it is rare. toying with jungle and hip hop on zenith and outright sound design on ark, the wilderness-bound beat alchemist uses his isolation to explore and even create his otherworldly sound palate. lurking behind immaculate drums are the windswept sounds of the desolate north and mechanized textures plucked from his father s own workshop. here we embark on loops most complete work to date. exits is designed to be listened to as one continuous track, opening with ambient mood and emotion, layering outboard synths and found-sounds on the title track and trap door. an unexpected calm beginning is shattered in the second act with the pounding rhythms and industrial heart beats of howl and iiva. exits is an insight into a uniquely unpredictable talent and rare chance to be immersed in his sound.

hommage this is already the third release for our little baby s p i e l and as we are on a constant search for the more leftfield and not so deep house esque dance music it was a very happy surprise to find an amazing demo in our mail box by the swiss indie dance/ electronic duo mercury. the bern based act already made a name for themselves by releasing on the great gomma label and by doing remix work and collaborations with people like robert owens, byron stingily, tom trago,munk and two door cinema club. these three new tracks are a well crafted mix of electro, disco, house and deep techno.

when you dream where does the light come from? there is a light that has clarity as great or greater than the daylight vision, and a lucidity of color that s beyond how we see color now ... i m interested in the point where this meets the imaginative vision that comes from seeing what we want to think of physical reality as outside, because it has a lot to do all which how we create reality. - james turell
within the walls, lighting(s), james turrell built spaces of solid material. the aim is not to also penetrate the foundations, passing through space, leading us to consider the immaterial, the mind. divergent ways first four compositions much like the four first light compositions, have sought to externalise the imaginative vision making it apparent.

kiwanuka, a 25 year-old uk native of ugandan heritage, was raised in north london where he split his time between session work and local gigs. along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to communion records, then polydor, and has since performed throughout europe and north america too touring in direct support of adele. he made his way through nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. the a-side *you ve got nothing to lose* is an original composition, featuring the buzzards dominic davis on upright bass and cory younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer lillie mae rische on fiddle. their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous blue series. the single also features a chilling rendition of townes van zandts infamous *waitin round to die* on the b-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the a-side.

luaka bop will release william onyeabor - what?!, for which the label partnered with moog to commission remixes and covers of the remarkably elusive african electronic artist william onyeabor, on 2lp vinyl for record store day, april 19. the collection features reworkings of world psychedelic classics 5: who is william onyeabor?, one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2013. in the absence of participation from onyeabor, who long ago turned his back on music, luaka bop continues to engage other artists to create work, inspired by onyeabor, in various mediums. william onyeabor - what?! opens with hot chips cover of the onyeabor landmark *atomic bomb* and also includes jd twitchs (optimo) cover of *why go to war?*.

winter is almost over but for the uy080 we decided to dip our label paint-brush deep into a potty filled with white. the painter is called ruede hagelstein and his work of art is simply called minus. a track with the charm of a winter-landscape, fully accomplished, crystal clear and warming like an analogue heater. wearing almost nothing and casted into a snow-white plate it will be a pleasure for all vinyl collectors.

maricopa returns to back to the balearics to complete his stunning opus, pastel love. and he continues where he left off building deeply textured songs packed full of simple melodies that really shine. his music opts for subtle feelings and passing vibes over the more obvious structures of dance music. the release of part one led to a number of comparisons with the early work of aphex twin as well as more contemporary producers such as four tet. such comparisons dont come lightly, but pastel love demonstrates that a rare musical talent has arrived. the release again has beautiful printed covers and looks as good as it sounds. viva maricopa!

strong techno on a global level featuring swedish producer petter b who is originally known for his work under the name hertz years ago now joins the roster and throws down two big room bombs that have been getting strong play in all the major clubs. on the flip side ukrainian producer rhomb returns to form with two cuts one deep and one jackin that make this ep a real killer, dont sleep on this. tip from beyond!

an imaginary country continues from the trajectory of tim heckers last album, the critically acclaimed harmony in ultraviolet, while also showing a few new tricks. tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound pallete including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. at times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos that he is know for. this music backs off from the void of immensity in favor of a terrain of lushness and warmth.

when luke solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with local talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we have been fans for a long time and mats actually booked him to his raw fusion club in the late 90s. he has been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. we couldnt agree more. lost channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby new york inspired house track comes in two versions. the raw & stripped version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with lukes trademark percussion sprinkled on top. the live piano version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. bubbly fx, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline. for remix duties it is the return of an old local talk friend, wil maddams. it seems like wil has spent some time in detroit since last time. this remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the d, his clever drum programming holds this track together with its deep pads and bubbling bassline. it is a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.

tartelets latest comes from glenn astro. currently residing in essen, he has spent a bit more than half his life djing and producing, first in the realm of hip-hop and more recently with an ear toward dance music. after his first releases in this style in 2011 and 2012, glenn really went for it in 2013 with a trio of eps that showed hip-hops soul and house musics drive are in no way mutually exclusive. this 26-year-old may embrace the latter these days, but when you close your eyes and let his gritty low-end do its dirty work, you will hear plenty of the formers bump still kicking around in there.

an explosive leap into the full-length format, human is also the debut of one of the most respected producers in electronic music. he has lovingly reworked several key players in the contemporary classic performance scene including michael nyman, olafur arnalds, nils frahm and tom hodge, as well as transforming the work of huge indie stars like hot chip, au revoir simone, braids, and fc kahunas classic hayling into downtempo, meditative masterpieces of glitch, beats and fragility. launch campaign for the album started dec 2013 with single adrift. following dates are part of the human tour, using flyer artwork of the album cover.

bolder is martin maischein who used to record as henrich at hart on position chrome and peter votava also known as pure who has recorded previously for mego and was half of ilsa gold. with their combined background in electronic music of all angles bolder introduces a significant proposition to the current experimental electronic boom. blurring the lines between industrial, techno, dub, ambient and narrative forms, the work on bolders debut presents a dance amongst the abyss, a world where organic rhythms provide the path amongst a swarm of foreboding electronics. herein lurks an atmosphere where hostile electronics weigh the hope and paranoia of todays climate. one humans listen is another humans challenge.

the new year starts with the welcome news that the cosmologist returns with episode three of the cosmology series. trip 1 started life as a tribute to 70s radical firebrands the last poets and their 1977 clarion call to arms, *its a trip*. a loose and ever changing collective, the initial line up was formed on may 19.1968 to mark malcolm xs birthday, having all met at east wind, a harlem based writers work shop. they took their name from a revolutionary south african poet keorapetse kgositisile who rightly prophesized that the talking would soon give way to the persuasiveness of the gun. continuing that thought, civil rights for african americans was very much the beat of the last poets, a cause they would champion and indeed, were not afraid to back up their mighty words with direct action.

dream states of lust and lucidity, slow to speaks latest reissue of house musics halcyon years comes courtesy of mood ii swings visionary lem springsteen. originally released on the eightball sublabel empire state records in 1994, these excursionary landmarks saw springsteen bid farewell to his usual club-saturated exercises in queeny house euphoria for a hallucinatory breach into a secret realm of desire, where the whispers of a long-forgotten hunger meld with the floating synth-work of a true practitioner of the sacred art of club music. this is the soundtrack to the chill-out room of your unconsciouss kaleidoscopic sex dream, the sweet synth lines of springsteens ritual music still floating in your mind as you awake, alas, a little too soon. fear not: this dyonisian masterpiece is once more available thanks to the good spirits at dope jams, who remind you, *whatever the eye sees and covets, let the hand grasp!* not without asking (or paying) first, of course.

affi is a glasgow based producer, dj and resident at the cult sunday circus, a collective infamous for throwing their long-lasting, day-after-the-night-before affairs. he regularly makes his presence felt at the most credible club nights and parties in and around the labels home town. as with the imprint he breaks ground for, koman has been making music for the last ten years with two previous releases already to his name. drawing inspiration from hawtins de9 - closer to the edit work with regard to the deconstruction of previous productions, the reassembling of intriguing new forms dominates his modus operandi and leads to this latest offering. the champagne breakfast ep puts forward the titular track on the a-side, ably abetted by in love and its dub remix love dub on the flip. an uplifting track which keeps on giving, the new release has already been subjected to test runs in the critical environs of a packed sub club and has proved worthy of the plaudits so far received.
