vier jahre haben sie sich zeit gelassen für den nachfolger von the king is dead . the decemberists, colin meloy, chris funk (gitarre), jenny conlee (keyboard), nate query (bass) und john moen (schlagzeug), entschlossen sich nach erfolgreichem tourende 2011, eine bandpause einzulegen und sich persönlichen dingen zu widmen. sie hatten mit the king is dead immerhin gerade ein album veröffentlicht, das in den us charts sofort auf platz 1 schoss und ihr song down by the water wurde für den grammy in der kategorie best rock song nominiert. aber ganz von der bildfläche verschwanden sie dann doch nicht. ihre animierten alter egos traten bei den simpsons auf, für den soundtrack von hunger games lieferten sie den song our engine , meloy veröffentlichte die prämierte kinderbuchserie wildwood und das livealbum we all raise our voices to the air , das ihre atemberaubende intensität auf der bühne widergibt, erinnerte uns immer wieder an die wunderbare band aus portland.

the shadeleaf music label has finally got your attention it seems ! breakthrough 12 s across their first 5 releases have firmly established thatmanmonkz s label of love as a heavyweight deep house contender ! ever keen to open up the crease to new batsmen, the guys have assembled a deadly duo of big hitters for their their sixth innings. belarus, not perhaps the first place you d think of when it comes to solid house music, but four walls have certainly dropped more than their fair share of jams across labels of note like kolour ltd & traxx underground. here s he s teamed up with fellow grodno resident funkyjaws for a style that s firmly fixated with the roots us house blueprint, but with a fresh take, that s all their own. saine ought to need no introduction, but for those at the back, across a mere handful of releases (his sleazybeats ep was one of our fastest selling...ever !) this young talent has made quite a mark - his drifter ep on must have is one of our favourite house 12 s of recent times. what better way to demonstrate the shadeleaf spirit of collaboration then getting these two established up-and-comers to reinterpret each other s work ? live organic percussion, and the warming hiss and glow of machine circuits conspire to deliver perfectly balanced hip-shaking equations and low end theories. and that s just the f side !. flip for the s side (get it ?) and we re into theoesque territory, with a rasping riff snaking through some deft rhodes work and to-the-bone rhythms, while four walls & funkyjaws offer up a swinging and irresistible rub to wrap it all up top shelf tackle ladies and gents

this compilation is in celebration of our berlin party cocktail damore, which we started with boris five years ago along with visual direction by pindar (goldnsour). what began as a gay monthly, focused on bringing quality music into the alternative culture of berlin, has grown to be host to a diverse range of open minded freaks, queers and more seeking a carefree atmosphere. the music we have compiled is a reflection of the variety of sounds our guests expect from the unique cocktail experience. the 3x12 inch vinyl comes in discodromo triple gatefold sleeve including poster and donwload code to redeem audio hi-res files.

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.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears ! what a special one we have here on skylax classic! damien zala, the man who put out the superb album ‘lonely happiness’ on rowtag records in late 2012, who gets heavy support from the great theo parrish, dishes up six special tracks for our next release. before diving in, it is well worth noting that a selection of damiens album tracks had remixes by the likes of house icons such as dj jus-ed, rick wade and boo williams! if those names register even the slightest blip on your radar, which they should, then this record might be the treasure youve been searching for. damiens sampling technique has a certain air of grandeur to it. shake vibration makes this apparent right from the start with intricate layers of vocals, guitar licks and keys. all my respect and come around both follow suit whilst dizzie picks up the b side with a bit more energy and frenzy compared to what has come before it. the record rounds out with two tracks taking things a bit deeper. stay where you are drives forward with filtered pad chords that accompany jazzy sax and vocal cuts while conversely, z to the jz brings in a moodier vibe with its jazz samples and smoky drums. do not miss the chance to get such a gem of a record from damien zala!, c l a s s i c ! a must to have in every djs collection. essential item no digital

our second 12inch will be featured by the gua camole duo with a brilliant remix by ana. some deep hypnotic sounds waiting to get pressed on black wax! and again with our selfprinted covers.

two sides from our favorite early 80s lover lew kirton. its the first time the sexy soul mans two track have been 45! both solid tried and tested lp tracks, but who wants to spin lps. 15 years of doing a club every week and you end up with some secret weapons, *something special* was always a big tempo change record. everyone is tired from dancing for two hours to fast disco, modern and deepfunk and without warning you just drop this badboy in take it down a notch and let the dry riding commence, solid. on the flip is lews straight up jack of gloria gaynors *i will survive*, pure shameless anthemic dancefloor disco smasher that i have championed for years, that catchy guitar line over lews big voice never tires.

- >finally i can show you our first release. we were working on it more than one year. i am happy to represent you this ep with 3 tracks of my good and talented friends yate which made me think about our own label. hello from ukraine! n.<

for our first release of 2015, we welcome back our pal roska with hyperion ep, described by fact as *the darker end of the roska spectrum*.

while their sporadic appearance remains a frustration, it s hard to find fault with boe recordings halal prepared series of eps. this third installment of the series, which lands 12 months after it s predecessor, contains another quarter of high quality deep house jams. the real highlights - to our ears, at least - are the two tracks that doff a cap to classic detroit techno, whilst keeping their feet firmly rooted in deep house. both -star struck- by chicago deep and havantepe s -plane waves- capture the retro-futurist spirit and stargazing electronics associated with the motor city perfectly. elsewhere, keep an eye out for taelue s -desolate dreams-, which offers a bittersweet trip into ultra-deep house territory.

wph kicks off 2015 with a new e.p. by the mighty luv jam from wales. living in a universe that is entirely his own andrew cole has cooked up two more of his ‘especially for wph’-tracks. one here at wph hq can only be flattered! ‘californian freestyler’ is the more peak time burner of the two, but ‘bmx bandito’ will not disappoint the more discerning punters out there either. on remix duty we find the main artist from our friends at uncanny valley in dresden, jacob korn. any work by jacob is always a treat and this here is no exception. flexing our digging talents we have also licensed a luv jam remix from the good people at panta rhei that was only released on limited 7”. we feel it deserved to be on a 12”, so there.

russian label gost zvuk (roughly translates as state standards for sound) releases its well anticipated third record which is a courtesy of oleg buyanov - moscow s underground scene veteran also known as ol. inspired by some late soviet documentaries exploring russias nature and science, this musical adventure reflects olegs very unique take on nostalgic post-soviet neo-romanticism. driven by raw and jazzy house groove, this record showcases the work from one of the high-profile russian producers of our time. supported by the likes of huerco s, anthony naples and madteo. limited hand-stamped white 12inch

our friends in moscow come through with a very special debut release on their new label! a various artists selection of esoteric but dancefloor assured edits, pieced together by passionate music lovers, champions of rarities and party starters in equal measure. all are part of a loose collective of moscow based music lovers, venue and record store owners. after digging deep to conjure up the bounty here, these enthusiastic diggers behind thats a steal are ready to roll out their debut - as ever, limited and ludicrously good. another all ears sureshot

what do people like balihus daniel wang and royksopp have in common? they write nice things like this about our (not so) new talent kid on the block. polosh superproducer maximilian skiba! music from a very good young polish producer, warm chords, funky melodies, think bass and guitars by chic meeting a string section by beethoven, with a touch of italo-disco and almost flamenco-like soul daniel wang he produces very nice italo disco tracks, im a fan royksopp. shanghouse is an instant hit. i would say instant classic if this wasnt so daft and meaningless. if you just heard it 5 times and feel the need to put it on another time. thats shanghouse by max skiba. then theres a great remix by victor rosado and a great slightly diverse prins thomas edit of korsakot another track.

the km editions series, admirably helmed by the mysterious keyboard masher, has always been one of the more interesting re-edit/rework labels. past installments have touched on krautrock, disco, balearica, funk, italo and what can only be described as electronic oddities. this sixth volume offers up three more impressively remixed, overdubbed and reedited gems. theres naturally much to admire, not least the omd style woozy synth-pop of stolen shapes (stealing rework), which should tickle the fancy of anyone of a balearic disposition. the same can be said about the immersive, sun-kissed pianos and shuffling grooves of -astral playground. there s also a chunk of silly but, perversely, rather good french cod-reggae in the shape of le cod-, arguably our pick of a strong bunch.

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

new year, new release and a new local talk member to introduce to you all - lets all welcome merrick. this young wiz kid steps up to the plate with a three track sweaty and headstrong release for our local talk off shoot ltx. developed deep inside his sound lab somewhere in europe, using dark grooves and dusty chords as the foundation - this release leaves you in no doubt where his current position is - in the club. from the opening track do that with its chunky grooves and warm basslines via the scene, a basement deep house track that ll satisfy all the moodymann fans out there. the last track, devils dance, keeps us hypnotically locked from start to finish with its rich and warm chords, have a listen - youll understand why.

alex font repeats in oblack- only like the best and he does it showing the most acidic and clubby version of that the real house that permeates their sound from start to finish. this acid flow is the fifteenth reference of the pastorial label commanded by snna and nacho arauz- from ibiza the valencian alex font presents us with an original passage of festive house, trotter and no-friend of the depressions where the legendary sound of the roland tb-303 is the pacesetter, disguises the soul and adds foundation to the track. and, since it breaks the acidic sound through antonomasia, this acid flow, shows his playful and fun side. this is a bright and optimistic theme, designed and checked to make us dance with a smile on our face, no doubt. a bare-chested tribute to those early 90s when electronics was all about joy and effervescence.

we are pleased to present the first ep of our label, noon records. to us, noon is much more than our label, much more than our name. noon is about life, about the cycles of life that happen every minute, every hour, every day. noon is about our own life, about your life.

entirely off the safe path, nonconformity and badass sounds are merging for snork #72 to send the ultimate sos for genuine techno. snork enterprises meets remute out in left field with three tracks not only to save our souls, also to save our sound of raw, underground techno. in a distorted space of sound, eclectic morse-codes come floating while persistent base lines keep the machines running. sirens sound and tortured steel is building up a sphere of vibrating noise spreading all over the hull and sustainedly screaming for sos. soaring beats forecast the last burst of strength. a freak wave of forceful sounds is rearing up. scared minds are facing the darkness of endless depth, still longing for the last beam of moonlight. yet, the all-embracing wall of infinity is merciless closing the entire surface. in an ambience of distortion, finally everlasting silence is drawing through the dark deepness devouring every vivid glance. from the distance down below there remains one inward echo - the ultimate sos.

and so lux rec continue to reach out for all those ephemeral, eery noises which are so dear to them. unlit corners on half emptied dance floors. give in to suffer, loss and sadness. embrace it. believe...
lux recs first record for 2015 is a dark and moody affair coming from momentform, a french musician that has no fear to plunge into obscurity, melancholy, a somber look into memories that are too painful to forget. yet, he transformed all those postcards from the past into listening and dance material. our last dance together. turn off the lights when leaving.

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.

docile recordings is an independent artist label that chooses to follow its own identity. docile works to describe the beauty of our existence and depths of our depravity. these tracks represent a struggle to preserve a time and place into the grooves of the only medium that can accurately display our craft. docile is vision kept alive by good will and loyal service. docile recordings number twenty five starts with a soulful bop stumbling around nonsense words that form rhythm in an upbeat minimal jam. track two spirits a moving melody through random digitals and walls of harmonic hypnotics. track three has a childlike appeal with its cheap keyboard and boisterous synth knocking an easy melody through moments of naive transcendence. track four lumbers with a simple sterile funk thats pulled along by a masochistic chant. the names of these tracks are listed below.
