(sean johnston & oyvind morken rmxs) theres a new kid in town! well, the kid behind it aint all that new, but the label is, so we will stick to our claim. after having been super quiet on the output front for a good few years now, oslo dj andoccasional full pupp producer marius circus is back with boom and a boing and a tschak, having decided to launch his own label.

pavement und preston school of industry gründungsmitglied scott kanneberg aka spiral stairs veröffentlicht ein neues album auf domino records! es sind nun acht jahre vergangen, seit scott kannberg, seines zeichens gründungsmitglied der legendären pavement, sein solo-album the real feel veröffentlichte. in der zwischenzeit ist vieles passiert. von einer gefeierten pavement reunion bis hin zum ausbau seines familienlebens in australien war alles dabei. jetzt meldet sich der gitarrist als spiral stairs mit einem neuen album zurück. “doris & the daggers” wird es heißen und zehn rock songs enthalten. am schlagzeug sitzt justin peroff (broken social scene), am bass hat sich matt harris eingefunden, der schon seit der gemeinsamen band preston school of industry mit kannberg musiziert. als gastsänger sind matt berninger (the national) und kevin drew (broken social scene) mit dabei. scott kannberg über sein zweites album: “i guess i’ve been writing songs for a while now. i like hearing echoes of things i love in the music that i make. writing music doesn’t come easy to me - it’s hard to write a song that’s good. but our memories slowly escape us as we get older, and in songs you kind of relive those moments, the things that matter.”

next up on thomas urv and miss mostly’s ploink imprint comes a full-length album from the godfather of norwegian techno mental overdrive.

leaning against a wall, his shirt unbuttoned to his navel and cradling a tumbler of something strong and sophisticated, tony igiettemo looks every bit the smooth talking 80s gent. when you put hot like fire on the turntable and drop the needle, however, it is immediately clear that smooth tony is also a little bit freaky. sirens, slap bass, squelchy synths and a titchy high hat that just won’t give up, hot like fire is a cosmic call from a dance floor on the far side of the universe.

‘fear eats the soul’ is the third release from sordid sound system on invisible inc. his previous two records ‘in a year of 13 moons’ and ‘lux exterior’ have been getting plays from the likes of andrew weatherall, manfredas, john talabot, idjut boys and thomas von party. describing ‘fear eats the soul’ as a concept ep made by four imaginary bands from detroit, new york, paris and munich, sordid sound system says: “i’m pissed off with passive aggressive shabby chic artisan boutiques besieging my studio and complaining about the noise, i’m pissed off with coked up yuppy hipsters in land rovers taking over my neighbourhood with fancy restaurants with names that sound like fucking law firms, i’m pissed off at the resurgence of the far right and creeping fascism, i’m pissed off with self sabotaging english and american voters and the neo liberal corporate elites that have pissed away opportunities and alienated them, i’m pissed off with modern recording technology creating a sea of homogenous unimaginative beige bullshit, and i’m really pissed off that my favourite drummer jaki leibezeit is dead, but apart from that it’s all good, enjoy the new record.”

futureboogie open their 2017 account with a new release from lizards, the newcastle based duo otherwise known as lee forster and james hadfield. after appearances on labels like leng records, join our club and not an animal records, lizards strut their stuff across two original tracks, whilst man of the moment lord of the isles weighs in with a superb remix. the percussion driven house of “tzatziki” kicks of the release, wrapped in warm and inviting pads and piano riffs. shades of old school chicago house meet sun-kissed balearic vibes on this early morning riser, as the heavyweight bass sounds curl around the raw drum programming and illuminating keys sprinkle over the production. on “aloof”, the tempo is taken down somewhat, as a bass line wanders over a steady kick and otherworldly ambient sounds and hushed vocal clips lazily glide over the 4/4 arrangement. as the track unfurls, more melodic and percussive elements come into play, blossoming into a something quite epic and unique. with a slew of releases for quality imprints like permanent vacation, firecracker, mule musiq and esp institute, neil mcdonald, aka lord of the isles, serves up a deliciously chugging version of aloof. gurgling bass and marching handclaps are dowsed in dramatic synth sweeps and glacial tones, as the good lord takes us on a monumental ride.

kiki gyan’s star didn’t burn long, but it burned bright. drafted into the afro funk super group, osibisa, at 15, he was millionaire by 18 and regarded as one of the best keyboardists in the world by 21. ‘life was good, man,’ he told journalist kweku sakyi-addo. ‘too good!’. in 1983 he dived head first into the new york party scene. he took a lot of drugs, spent a lot of time in clubs and got together a team of crack local musicians to record feelin’ alright, his third and final solo album. all the kiki gyan trademark elements are present and correct. the album is unique a blend of highlife music with electronic funk and disco. ‘rosemary’ follows the formula most closely and was a hit across nigeria and ghana. but on ‘give it to me’, ‘love to love you’ and the title track, you’ll hear a slicker, boogie-influenced sound that has made feelin’ alright one of his most sought-after albums. kiki gyan would never hit such heights again. his addictions eventually took hold and he died aged 47, destitute and alone. feelin’ alright remains one of the brightest stars in his extraordinary constellation.

local talk welcomes detroit house music legend terrence parker to the family. his release is not only the first of 2017 but also marks the 75th release on local talk. sometimes you just want a producer to deliver what he s best at and with these two tracks that is exactly what we get. opening track gratiot avenue piano is a straight forward piano house track that hits peak hour business in just a couple of minutes. if you like the classic terrence parker sound like we do, then don t look any further. on the flip unconditional embellishes all that s good about a house track, a delightfully soulful house bump together with an infectious organ hook. there s no messing around on this release and terrence never puts a foot wrong throughout these two tracks, both are perfectly conceived from start to finish.

we ve all been there, spending endless hours searching, listening, skipping thru tracks and trying to find at least one good one. no more. we ve made it easy for you... tune is all about that one track, the track that will bring the heat. no remixes, radio edits or excess dubs. it s all very simple, one track, one really awesome tune. that s all. the plot thickens, who is theo walbeck?? but maybe it s not that important, after all the music is the key figure and speaks for itself. this is theo s follow up to freek tool which was one of disclosures most played tracks in 2016 and goes down a similar path. in our humble opinion this is an even stronger track and something that is just waiting to get some heavy isolator action. someone 2night got that dark and vintage warehouse feel mixed up with some soulful cut up vocals and lush strings that is just perfect to drop at peak hour. those rumbling drums will cause some serious damage...believe dat!

deep & roll strikes again, bringing back to life 4 unreleased tracks, lost since 1992, by the italian house maestro enrico mantini. like a good wine, music improves with age, to the greatest delight of our ears. octivation’ is the ultimate smooth ballad, a subtle balance between warm synths and keys. gotta have it’ brings the deepness, i wanna tell you’ a powerful groove: all tracks will fit into deep dancefloors, bringing nostalgic vibes and some realness to your set. the heads won’t miss this one!

it really feels like we (aka mad mats & tooli) have been around way longer than 5 1/2 years with local talk, but it s really true what they say, time flies when you re having fun! from what started as a somewhat simple and almost primitive urge to create a small house imprint has now grown into a much bigger affair. we really tried hard to keep the label from getting stuck in any genre (remember 90s house?) and to always keep the local talk relevant, curious, diverse and with a healthy dose of underground mentality. from our very first release with bassfort s excellent moon shadow in the summer of 2011, we had a crystal clear vision of what local talk should represent... house music in any way, shape or form! over the years we released soulful, disco, jack, afro, vocal, deep, jazz, tech, latin, old school, acid, uk, berlin, new jersey, detroit and of course chicago inspired house music. if it made us bump...we put it out! this brings us up to today and about +80 releases later. we thought about how we best could sum up these first 5 1/2 years and immediately the image of blaze s classic album 25 years later popped up. besides the fact that it s an amazing album cover it also a good representation when different musical genres fuse together. it s not strictly a house album but just as well a r&b, reggae and soul album. this fusion and variation of house sounds is something that we ve tried to capture on our 5 1/2 years later compilation, split into two parts. on part 1 you ll find a dark bassline driven house jam from art of tones (check the mad sax!), a proper deep journey jam from nyc s dj spinna, a blaze homage with that classic new jersey sound from sean mccabe, and a bumpy world/jazz inspired cut straight outta brescia from wonder kid corrado bucci. all in all we think we got most angles covered and hopefully this album will make you spread that chalk on the dance floor and get down...local talk style!

having been approved by labels as respected as underground quality and autoreply, brazilian producer apoena returns to his allnite label with yet more of that pure and heartfelt deep house music for those who like it classic and classy. i know yo- punches and tickles in all the right places with its dreamy keys, soulful vocal lick and rock solid drum lines, while tristeza nao tem fim heads into even more blissed-out territory with its rolling groove and heavy-lidded chords. lost has a solid bottom end thrust that wouldnt sound out of place on a mike huckaby record, and mama loves you brings more of that sweet, laid back, feel good feeling to finish up this impeccable collection of house jams.

49th floor s night passage was vibraphones first release back in 1992 and was written & produced by ttusor member, stefano curti. stefano recorded the music in his own living room in north london in a truly house music fashion. night passage is a very stylish elegant & seductive example of classy italian deep house music, which seems to stand very well the test of time sounding as good and as fascinating today as it did back in 1992. this release contains the analog re-mastered version of the original 4 tracks first released in 1992.

dubfire and miss kittin have scored another big hit in the form of their second collaboration ride, the follow-up to the much-loved anthem exit. now, many destroyed dancefloors later and they’re unleashing a big pack of remixes to sit alongside their two original versions. solomun may best known for big melodies and hooks, but his remix boldly displays his affinity for heads down techno. a beast of a track, it centers around ticking percussion and pulsating synth delays with a throbbing low end. minimal in approach, maximal in aesthetic, it’s a no-nonsense groove. matthew dear dons his audion guise to remind us how instrumental he was in formulating that oddball techno sound a decade ago, making good use of the vocals in the heady breakdowns and matching them with unsettlingly wavering synth sirens and an almost tribal bass stomp. it’s full of atmospheric touches and pulls off a big room feel without resorting to cliches. depeche mode, erasure and yazoo legend vince clarke is a personal hero of dubfire’s, making his appearance on this package all the more of a special, rare treat. his chunky house groove is decked out with rolling congas, electro arpeggios and a yearning, bluesy guitar lick. french star djedjotronic has himself remixed depeche mode, and his version rounds off the package with throbbing low end, harrowing synths, techy percussion and brooding reese bass swells. with four very different mixes to choose from, this is an immense package that is set to cause havoc on dancefloors worldwide for some time to come.

with a solid collection of productions and remixes to his name, arturos music has helped define the unique and emerging silicon valley sound. this approach blends the driving, beat-laden beauty of techno with the soulful, deep melodies of house.

let the good times roll! dj yamin and quickie mart have created the very first new orleans breakbeat record! this 12” contains exclusive drum breaks and samples for all you dj’s and producers. if you like raw and funky beats with hard to find samples from the crescent city than this album is for you. very limited release!

ultimate block party breaks volume 3 continues the tradition that began in the bronx in the 1970’s, where “break djs” would take that one part of the record that dancers would go absolutely crazy for. that part where all the music breaks down to nothing but the essence: drums and percussion. these are all truly timeless beats that sound as fresh today as they did when the founding fathers like kool herc, bam, flash and hollywood were catching them for the frst time in community centers throughout the city. we’ve edited and extended these breaks for maximum effect on the dancefloor - so you don’t have to. enjoy!

new york city house / disco from ny/philly based producers. jacques renault of let s play house offers a string-heavy bassline slapped floor filler. matpat of philly with release on exploited and 124 recordings brings a raw kick, heavy pounding loop driven classic house track. evan michael offers a belter of a raw filter track for the rooftop set. higgins closes the record with an uptempo stomper.

josé james is reborn as a powerful voice in contemporary r&b on “love in a time of madness”. even for an artist as creatively restless as james, “love in a time of madness” is something new: an r&b focused foray into moody soul, electronic pop, and trap-addled beats, with the occasional influence of african folk, american gospel and minneapolitan funk. and though james’ voice is no less agile and his ear no less adventurous, this is also his most relatable, daresay sexiest work yet, detailing love’s ups and downs without holding back an ounce of emotion.

nice price deal !!! spaced out hypnotic and minimalistic jams. ng trax welcomes a good friend and producer shoxy haling from belgrade serbia. an absolute talent in sound engineering and production. providing us with a 4 track ep. those moments will bring you to 4 corners of the dance music.

rico puestel is in charge for our cocoon recordings 144th release. rico is an producer animal who released more than 100 tracks & remixes since 2005 under various project names such as dinamoe, central scrutinizer and of course under his main moniker rico puestel. the enormous amount of productions shaped ricos knowledge and taste and his new cocoon release neyst and enokid seems to be the logical result of his long journey through the techno-universe. puestels style is very unique and merges elements of dark and hypnotic mainfloor techno as well as orchestral sounds and even industrial elements. neyst is the perfect hypnotic and dark techno circle that keeps on progressing and building up into sheer madness. no fast food, no leightweight, this is heavy techno business! enokid comes with a little more of a chicago house vibe however it is again still deep in puestels very own style. we especially fancy the crazy break in the middle with the spaced out room effect part and the melody coming in after the break. as stompy and musclepacked this track is, it still seems to be very musical and deep at the same time - what a trip! this one demands a good and proper sound system, well what other cocoon release doesnt?

omni am came into existence from the disparate musical tastes of adam collins and marky star during the strict 90s chicago house scene. making use of a wider palette of sounds and rhythms, the two formed an act around an eclectic live pa and their unique vision of unpredictable house music. with resident advisor calling it as good as house music can possibly get, beat dis is a breakbeat salute to house music and was featured on fabric records tyrant 2 by craig richards + lee burridge. dangerous is a minimal tech classic with omni am s signature rule-breaking style. originally released on swag, the song deepened the groups long relationship with the south london record shop and its crew. presented now for the first time with updated masters, this release is for fans requesting these rare songs, and also for a newer generation who are eager for their own copies

zweiter lp-sampler als tribut an den legendären soul-club twisted wheel, der mit seinem resident-dj roger eagle acht jahre lang an zwei verschiedenen locations der definitive soul- und rhythm & blues-hotspot im manchester der 1960’er jahre war und dem britischen publikum bislang ungehörte, afroamerikanische tanzmusik beibrachte. mit 16 definitiven klassikern, darunter bob & earls -harlem shuffle-, -the duck- von jackie lee oder screamin jay hawkins -i put a spell on you-.

2017 re-issue. on his sophomore album, chancha melds local south american rhythms with contemporary production techniques, and borrows from global dance music sounds, then applies his own delicate senibilities with gentle good humor. rio arriba bubbles up from the andes like percussive lava, seething as it is soothing.

helge schneider und der jazz sind genauso wenig zu trennen, wie helge schneider und die komik. bereits vor über zehn jahren tourte er mit eigenem jazztrio, zu dem auch der britische schlagzeuger pete york gehört.
mit diesem langjährigen gefährten und guten freund hat er jetzt ein album aufgenommen, ein jazzalbum versteht sich. »heart attack no.1« verbindet eigene kompositionen und coversongs im helge-style.

stepping up for its landmark tenth release is label honcho juan sanchez, who drops four slices of heavy techno funk. over the course of nine releases, format records have established itself as a very credible source for quality techno. its tenth release again perfectly captures that frisky format sound.
first up is serpent, a mid-tempo and bass-laden belter that’s followed by the darker, minimal-tinged qualia. a different place merges detroit-esque elements with tones of european techno, after which things close with no-beatsall-fx stubborn synth.
the tenth format release is a perfect snapshot of the label’s signature sound, while paving the way for many more good things to come.

vlad dinu opens mihai bravu s 1st release starting the audio journey with deep in my house, a track that occupies the entire a side, just like a proper tool should. as the name of the track hints, we find ourselves submerged in deep territory: a tight and groovy bass line, laced with a steady percussion, sprinkled with some 16bit arcade reminiscent accents and soothing intermingled vocal cuts. the deep vibe is crafty perpetuated by several synths at play, which together combine in such a way to add a wide atmospheric feel to the composition. definitely deep in my house sounds and feels more like of a 90’s tune, and while listening to it, one could easily find himself drift into the nostalgia of the good old days.
side b goes even deeper with two tracks defined by the notion of head tracks. gun zah continues the storyline with twisty percussive rhythms and a groovy atmosphere, tailored into a bangin floor choon while questions answered submerges the listener into layers of groovy basslines, swifty percs and milky synths, all put together into the form of a most alive track.

label boss spartaque delivers a massive 3 tracker on the first codex vinyl release. in the beginning sets forth a commanding bassline while acidic synths move fluidly with the rhythm and distinct arpeggios come together to take you into the darkness. amber room stomps through the room with an elastic groove, hi hats sessions and deep basslines, while clearing the path for growling synths and melodic overtones layered with a sexy diva vocal sample. the ep closes with a track titled berliner goes the rave collaboration with spartaque s good friend greenjack, which delivers a grinding bassline in combination with the hypnotic male vocals of the haunting kind, eerie notes and a mysterious vibe throughout.

marco baileys materia has already put itself in techno map for good by growing rapidly to one of the most remarkable techno projects in our modern history through its monumental events all around the world. being extremely ambitious obviously by getting the genes by its father and creator, marco bailey, materia couldnt hold its demons of overly dominating techno in every possible way and is taking the next step of being also a record label so it can distribute the special vibe of its events to the home of every clubber in the world. of course no one could write the first page of its new chapter better than marco bailey himself where he offers the awe-inspiring return of ryuu ep including also 2 wondrous remixes by the ingeniously talented producers, edit select & conrad van orton. welcome to the new materia world.

nathan bartell grew up in a little town called ashburn, georgia but soon moved to atlanta georgia where he began to perform in the night clubs. in 1973 he released “top going down, bottom going up” on the soul-po-tion label. bartell remembers: “at the time i was having family problems. my wife didn’t want me and i was deep in love. i felt at that time that i was at the bottom of the pit and i wanted to rise up out of that mess because my wife made me feel that i was a nobody. i was not good enough for her - nobody wants you when you are down and out. she felt that she were on the top and i was on the bottom. this song was a message at that time.” there is nothing for us to add except that we are delighted to bring this little beauty back to new life.

singer, producer and dj seven davis jr returns to his underground soulful and house roots while fusing flavors from various eras in this uptempo sophomore album. live from the other side, plays like the soundtrack to a lovely weekend with visual designs inspired by underground festival culture and contemporary art. dedicated to his fans, sev hopes this album will conjure up good vibes and enhance sessions, from living room to club, for generations.

mentha records calls on the services of hakim murphy to rock a record titled ambidextrous to amphibious. the four track 12 inch illustrates murphys ability to create different styles, tempos, and textures. the a side begins with sickness, which displays a sparkling synth line that grooves from beginning to end. a2 is a beatdown tune called spaceness is filled to the brim with texture and harmonic goodness. an acid house banger called merge starts the flip side that features a bubble acid line and moving percussion. panty hose silences ends the record with its jazzy influenced tones and flowing arp lines. a release that is good for home, club, and warehouse use.

baertaub’s newest release wolke welcomes you with bazalt, a very tight and sharply shaped minimal techno track designed to awake your senses one by one from head to toe with small noisey cuts and bits that show their faces at certain times to draw a sonic geometrical map. next up is a relatively darker track rather than rain which again features those alien bits and is enriched with an unexpected and grande synth melody that somehow fits perfectly with the dark mood and alienating sound of the track. b side opens with the ztrl remix of bazalt which focuses on that witty geometrical face of the track and lifts it to an upper level with slowly building beats and hypnotizing loops. the ep closes off with the title track, wolke, which follows a very interesting trajectory: a tense sounding chord line is softened by a groovy bass and dubby touches and percussive samples which in the end provides an unexpectedly feel good ending to a positively minimal ep.

lake people, the man with a knack for aural subtleties, is spot-on with his first ep for uncanny valley. over the course of four tracks he showcases a quiet different approach compared to the sophisticated house music the leipzig based artist released on labels like permanent vacation or connaisseur recordings. on -break the pattern- he relies heavily on the good old boom tschak-paradigm of electro, without completely giving up his trademark sound. -level msk- combines staccato-type chords with a stuttering beat that stick in your mind. the acidic -september futuristic- with its stoic drumming has almost a krautrock feel to it. on the flipside, the playful -chords in chorus- feels like an early contender for this year s summer anthem with chords and acid lines from heaven. the ep closes with -pull off-, a perfect example for lake people s ability to compose tracks with an emotional depth.
