discovering and nourishing fresh new talent is one of the primal thrills of any labels a & r process. unearthing production gems that spring up close to home doubles the enjoyment. culprits next release – its 23rd ep – ticks both of those boxes while fulfilling the labels foremost mission of delivering quality authentic dance music of depth and feeling.

remastered re-issue, featuring the very best of the sound of brooklyn records.

big with:ernesto ferreyra, the mole, akufen, vincent lemeuix.. inspired by classic disco and electro, dkmd have already produced several dance music tracks, using old and new technology in order to come up with a unique sound which pays homage to their predecessors without sounding pastiche. echoes of giorgio moroder and donna summer can be felt throughout on the other side, while the playful and sensual taxi cab recounts the familiar story of an early morning phone call received by a girl in a cab, on her way home from a pleasurable night out. perhaps it is their experience playing together as improvisers that adds a special touch to their dance music,as they have grown accustomed to perform almost every element in their tracks using hardware intruments and effect boxes.in addition to their disco project,the two have a considerable track record as experimentalists and the dark,cosmic and mysterious androide is a good example of some of their output in the genre.even though dkmd are only at the beginning of their dancefloor adventures,they show no signs of stopping,and when asked what comes next,they will likely answer

what we have here is an album which is, if i may say, relatively positive and generally good for home listening. this album was recorded in about 10 weeks in a living room (the sofa being my bed), with restless swollen eyes at dusk and a love/hate relation with my machines, microphone and electric guitar.3 machines gave up on me during the making of this lp.i hope you will like it. tolga.

the best things come in threes: after his recent success with the the devil in me, a glorious collaboration with oliver koletzki as part of großstadtmärchen 2, and the big jet plane ep for our good friends at dantze, poster-boy jan blomqvist presents his first 12inch on stil vor talent, ink. things kick off with the title track, whose classic song structure and romantic melodies rub elegantly against tougher, sometimes distorted electronic percussion to create a tension that would be at home on a radiohead lp

props can only be directed to his home base label, tiefschwarz: souvenir music and to his music crony, rampa for nourishing re.you with the swing he needs to deliver the beats fans adore. and every so often he wanders about seeking labels to harvest his funky house seeds in. so when the berlin-based producer and dj planted a mind-blowing, full on dance ep at the mobilee headquarters to kick of the 2012 summer, they were thrilled to watch the magic flourish. the a side is home to mind your head, a funky vocal piece featuring daniel wilde with just the right drops between its smooth grooves. a crazy trip through the mind after a wild night out gives this track a boisterous appeal completely eliminating any dark and heavy elements. junction is on the flip and isn’t too far off the button as it keeps the upbeat tempo grooving with the background percussions. re.you hijacks the mood and keeps the number high-spirited and actively exciting by offering a non-stop party package.

fresh out of melbournes reputed house scene, the tortoise is one of the hottest talents to emerge from the current wave of house breaking down under. a side the puffing tortoise captures the 21-year-olds precocious talent and aims it squarely at the peak time. working his trademark airy vocals around a familiar disco refrain and bubbling bass, he works the track into a sweaty climax and skilfully keeps it there throughout the midsection. turning in a late night chugger on their remix, berlin based canadians the mole and hreno ride an insistent pulse and insect like percussion. twisting the samples, they guide the track into a dark jungle of chattering sounds to temper the tortoise youthful exuberance. the analogue melancholy of keep on keepin on is all in the sweeping synths and twinkling effects. recoiling the tension, the chicago influenced track seeps through the speakers and will sound as good at home as it will during specially chosen dancefloor moments. rondenion approaches the title track with fearless disregard for the original, combining the swelling tortoise sound with something entirely his own. his addition of a funk fuelled midsection, really breaks the track down and adds another slice of character to an ep already brimming with it.

rising parisian producer yakines career pretty much defines the word eclectic — in his teens, he was a bona fide metalhead, playing guitar in a metal band that toured all over europe, before his love of hip hop steered him in the direction of the dancefloor. he really found his home behind the decks, however, and once he discovered the world of electronic music via the patronage of his brother—who introduced him to the sounds of underground deep house and techno — yakine quickly moved into production. he has since released a series of eps on european labels like esperanza and jetaime records. the rise ep is his first release for spectral sound, a four-track slab of understated, atmospheric techno.

from the beginning of bristol archive records involvement in documenting bristols neglected reggae heritage we have wanted to release an album that showcases the great talent of one of the local reggae scenes mainstays, joshua moses.
unfortunately, joshua has no copies of the many recording sessions he has done in the years since his first session in 1978, and so it has taken more than eighteen months of painstaking research and the pursuit of numerous leads to gather together the fifteen tracks on >joshua to jashwha - 30 years in the wilderness<. the result is more than worth any effort involved on our part and is as strong a debut album as anyone could wish for, guaranteed to create a buzz among reggae fans worldwide.

with back-to-back singles on millions-of-moments, and contributions to a number of bass related compilations, lostlojic now joins the ranks of phuture shock musik to kick off the labels first release of 2012, entitled >she s special<, a heartfelt garage cut that rides the fine line between introspective home listening and dancefloor immediacy. the single is backed with remixes by opr8 and troy gunner.

joker has been riding a rocket propelled trajectory with an exponential rise in popularity since he first caught the attention of underground djs and bloggers alike, back in 2007. signed to major player 4ad for his debut lp >the vision<, dropping late last year joker has won the hearts and minds of both respected underground players and pop-loving youth alike. here he returns to his home imprint for a rare excursion away from 4ad with the monstrous, infectious fresh cut rhythm that is our lead track >skitta<. you know it must be a big lead if when you flip for the aa side and find the almighty newham generals featuring in secondary place! >i think you should know< sees footsie and d double roll out a shoulder popping beat in fine style while fans of all things instrumental can also enjoy an extended instrumental version of the same track. huge release all round.

cultivated electronics moves into its 10th release and second of 2012 with an ep from long standing dutch electro pioneer frank de groodt under his sonar base alias. this is the 3rd landing from sonar base whose legendary first album sonar bases 1 - 4 was released on u trax in 1995 before his second release beyond hoag s object ii on daz qualye s scsi-av imprint 10 year s later in 2005. frank started out on djax records in 1994 with multiple releases as the operator and optic crux before his more recent releases as fastgraph on klakson. we attack before dawn ep gives a nod to the mid 90 s electro sound of underground resistance with 3 killer cuts from sonar base and a remix from ce label head sync 24.

for some time now the bar25 label has wanted to put out a release with all of our swiss musician friends – the many folks who came to the swiss weekends at the bar and generally made a habit of visiting us in berlin. the bar always had a deep swiss connection, manifested not least in the legendary swiss cabin, home away from home to larger groups of visiting friends and monday evening after-hour hotspot. alpenglühen – feines aus der schweiz (alp glow – swiss bliss) is a swanky double vinyl of high-quality production art made in switzerland. on vinyl 1, animal trainer from hive audio share a side with andri, the zurich native. techno gladiator wandler and live artist canson play the other side, while vinyl 2 lets two matadors from the new zurich club friedas büxe – don ramon and san marco – steer for a while. and the two music geniuses from galoppierende zuversicht are also here, fittingly, using sounds recorded live at friedas büxe for their track. the sampler concludes with the exceptionally talented mastra, who contributed a special song to this swiss musical collage. the digital release also comes with a bonus live track by sublime stage band rizzoknor. even the cover was designed in switzerland, during a bar25 night at the legendary cabaret in zurich. were all excited about this release since its a special one for the 25 label. marked both by good old times and new horizons, this record is a musical compilation representing the very special kind of artist that will always be welcome in wild berlin!

phillipe quenum, cadenza co-founder and long-time dj & producer emerges on serialism records armed with a soulful, four-track ep just in time for spring. widely known for co-producing the 2003 hit, orange mistake, as well as a myriad of other first-rate outputs, this gifted producer needs no introduction. quenums another day ep is right at home on serialism, a label that’s known for its consistent and classic dance-floor orientated releases from the likes of frank haag, sierra sam and jin choi. laden with emotive, ascending synths, abyssal atmospheres and dubby basslines, this record is the true mark of a seasoned producer. from the percussive and texturized arrangement of another day to the chicago inspired oscillating goodness of my furious thing, to the late night deep vibes of everyday people to the nu-jazz flecked digital only electric prayer, quenum knows how to evoke emotion on the dancefloor. each track is the perfect backdrop for the onset of the spring / summer season, all four cuts melodic and deep, infused with elements of chicago house, and touches of both soul and jazz. this timeless release further affirms quenum’s rightful place as one of the top producers in the game.

mark and stefan have been making noises for a long, long time. born in an storm way, way back, they have forgotten more than most people know about the art of making people move their bodies in strange ways - graduating from the psychonautic academy of vibrational arts with 2 lfos, a couple of vcfs and 3 vcos… when theyre not working in the studio on their new psychedelic project pulp disco & the outcasts, theyre getting up to all sorts of bad behavior in ibiza, france and their home in london and manchester. warehouse parties, dirty dive bars and seedy strip joints have all been seduced by their magic over the years, and this is where the duo feel most at home. the wrong side of the horizon is where they were born…and dark dub-discos are now their only refuge. so when the moon is full, hitch a ride with them into deep space...

almost four years after his last dial record single >miles< lawrence is back with another tribute to the sun. in the meantime he was still busy with a couple of releases for mule musiq, laid, smallville and dj kozes pampa imprint. his first mix cd >timeless< has been recorded lately for cocoon recordings. coming home to his own imprint prooves once more how modern house music should sound like: deep, moving and always surprising. >etoile du midi already travelled around the globe including tokyo, london, berlin and hamburg to finally being cut on vinyl after bringing the magic to all those lovely clubs worldwide

for uzuri 018 we return to one of our home grown artists – jitterbug. time has flown since his last release for us in 2010, but we have been quite eager to get some new material out from him for a while – and, based on feedback we have had, plenty of other people are keen to hear more from him too. both his raw winter and beaten trax eps were pretty popular releases for us and his dj appearances always create a stir, so we are pleased to bring you this, the arcane theory ep. the track sequencing on this record is pretty aggressive – front-loaded with the confrontational rise of the machines. a track that really lives up to its title, sounding like the production line at cyberdyne systems… all stomp and evil synths, like a bad mood e-dancer. fallout couldnt be further from that – relaxed and making no attempt at all to get in your face. itll win you over, though. just a nice, deep groove and a lovely, phased beat. could play it for hours… the whole of the flip is devoted to nomads, a chiming, acidic wander. nearly eleven minutes in length. the kicks never at the fore on this one – most of the action occurs at the mid and high frequencies – a resonant 303, lots of hi hats and, later, synths which expand on the eastern-flavour of the track title

following two well-received 12 inch singles in 2011, bristols bedmo disco records – the sound of bedminster – returns in 2012 with something rather special: the debut reedits ep from longtime family member jimmy the twin.

jack dixon, a london-based electronic artist draws influences from wolfgang voigt, mutant disco, autechre and tim hecker. quite an array of jumping off points and ones which are clearly evident throughout his intricate productions. his productions sound as much at home on a heaving, sweat-soaked, educated dance floor as they do on headphones in the sleepy urban half-light on the night bus home. from his earliest releases on brownswood, take, and silverback, jack has found love and support from amongst others mary anne hobbs, joy orbison, will saul, sinden and eats everything.

the german band the audience was founded in 2003 in nürnberg and released their first album >celluloid< on the cult independent-label hazelwood in 2007. soon after the five-piece was signed by one of the biggest german booking agencies fkp-scorpio, which sent them on tour throughout europe where they proofed to be one of germanys most incredible and exciting live acts. their current album >hearts< was recorded in a big music hall over the period of one year. the aim was to catch both energy and emotions of an authentic live-on-stage situation. the recordings document the audiences most intense, dynamic and sophisticated moments, without losing their very own feeling for catchy melodies.

das neue album von dan sartain >too tough to live< endlich als vinyl! dreizehn punkrock-tracks in einer durchschnittlichen länge von eineinhalb minuten. aufgenommen in den lucky cat studios in san francisco, liefern diese songs gefühle der verärgerung, frustration und unzufriedenheit in bester sartain manier ab. und als eine super Überraschung gilt der gastauftritt von jane wiedlin, ex-the go-gos auf dem song >now now now<.

hello berlin is the second release of samuel fach on tonkind. with his first one he made already a successful debut start. and for sure hello berlin should not stay behind. like the titel tells us, it is a tribute to his new home town. since last summer he is now a child of this wonderful city and this release suppose to be his first musical reflection to what he experienced there, so far. like on the first release, samuel fach shows his talent for a multicolored and very origin sound. all emotions have been bunched here, esspecialy in firts of may we got an essence of his affinity for happy melancholy. on the top... with a very cool kotelett & zadak remix of hello berlin, he got the right support from berlins men on the spot.

dj w!ld and robsoul – the perfect match. phil weeks recently spoke in an interview about how there are certain producers he always trusts and gives complete freedom to when he asks them to record an ep for robsoul - dj w!ld was one of those he named. on w!ldsytle we get four cuts that again showcase the french producers trademark style of tracks which build and build, creating dancefloor intensity through their relentless hypnotic grooves, before breaking into expertly chosen sampled breakdowns. with recent outings on harry klein, jonk and luna records alongside his own catwash and his more recently launched the w label, dj w!ld is in serious demand right now. a stalwart of the tech and deep house scene, his career path began in the clubs of paris in 1996. working with chris carrier from 2005 under the name of catwash (which also spawned the label) he became well known in the french house and techno scene and by 2009 was touring the world, including being offered the residency he retains for circo loco at dc10. the w label launched in 2011 and was home to w!lds critically acclaimed >palace< album and the club destroying singles it contained. may will see the launch of a new dj w!ld album, d!rty, on the impeccable cabin fever imprint run by matt edwards (radio slave)

subland the club home of subdivisions labels in berlin, has represented many subdivision nights that have encluded the likes of cooh, dean rodell & sinister souls, so it only felt fitting to invite some that have drunk mexicarner with us and stormed the caged dj booth to add there dubstep style and pressure to the original dnb sister label subtrakt

hands of time continues its run as one of the most excellent and dependable labels on the market with this, social disco clubs new unknown sea ep. the release features three killer tracks. >lilt< is a deep and driving house banger with some soulful diva vocals. simple dreams is a return to the sort of leftfield disco sensibility that weve come to expect from the label with some groovy organ work and a beat that wont stop. finally, unknown sea has a straight-up jackin, minimalistic feel coupled with a sense of ethereal beauty that should do wonders both on your home stereo and on the dancefloor. with the label investing in a new cover design and quality releases like this, hands of time is definitely ready for 2012

already a classic! wonderfull. ric mcclelland & sean grieves seven music imprint are proud to welcome kastil to their ever growing family, for its 16th release. hailing from vitoria in northern spain, kastil is a new and exciting name in the burgeoning deep house and disco scene. his love of vintage sounds and equipment is ever present in his music. from beatdown jazzy funk to straight up house grooves, his productions ooze class and versatility! the >keep it simple< ep does exactly what it says on the tin. a quality 4 tracker that relies more on precision sound design and less on modern studio trickery. this is a release that will easily stand the test of time and sound just as good on a home listening system as it will on a big club rig!

label like soma records, universal, get physical and also highgrade, all contribute to the impressive credentials of the spaniard, prompts breathtaking live sets and releases. but prompt, himself the founder of his own label 7noise, is never one to rest on his laurels: instead he continues to push boundaries with his new live project: the prompt live band, a fusion of electronic sound production and jazz. this is not the first such step for the clasically trained musician, with his onuba project he has already mixed the flamenco sound of home country with electronic music. the three tracks to be released on highgrade records, created in collaboration with the chop suey quartet, bring to life what would appear to be almost impossible: a real connection between the highly concentrated nature of electronic rhythms and the loose and improvised sounds of jazz instrumentation. the result is a very special kind of studio jam session: victor tarín on piano, david blanco on bass, daniel del val on the drums - and prompt on a computer! with so much pasion for musical innovation on show, its no wonder that highgrade co-boss todd bodine wanted to get his fingers into the pie and deliver his own remix for the ep

any fan of drum & bass will know the name cyantific. having built a reputation as a leader of the new school d&b generation, jon stanley is now approaching a decade of releasing incredible music thats equally at home on the dance floor as it is on your ipod or in your car. last year saw cyantific unleash an incredible single for ram records, as well as bounce it / obey on his own self-titled cyantific record label. here we have the follow up to that release and its undoubtedly another exciting 12 inch, packed with plenty of cyantifics trademark energy. effortlessly combining sharp production skills with graceful musicality, you can always be assured that a new cyantific record is one to watch out for and this new single is certainly no exception. mirador takes the lead, opening with huge sweeping sound fx and a bouncing synth line that harks back to a classic ram sound. its not long before you notice cyantifics signatures though, as he brings in vocal snippets and washing pads that gradually build and grow before a monster bassline drops into the mix. this one undeniably straddles the line between restrained musical class and outright dance floor mayhem. on the flip side defect comes in at an infinitely more paranoid level. strings are infused with urgency and rolling breaks thunder along, dragging you kicking and screaming towards the inevitable drop. you wont be disappointed when it hits either, grinding bassline sections are juxtaposed with obsessive synths, all pulling you deeper into cyantifics musical world.

introducing club constructions, a new series of releases that will operate alongside night slugs main eps and white label series. a new home for our most direct productions, cc will run as a channel for raw and tracky material aimed straight for the dancefloor. the first cc volume comes from l-vis 1990. hot on the heals of his >neon dreams< lp, l-vis dives further into the house music whirlpool, drawing on classic dance mania and underground construction vibes (think robert armani building trax for 2012) to deliver 5 tape-saturated, strictly-analog slices of modern-day ghetto hard house. strictly for peak time use!

join the dots reaches its dirty dozen in the form of leeds based noiseniks death on the balcony. after a year of rather big releases, hanging out with wolf & lamb, soul clap and other assorted cool cats and playing a hectic schedule of gigs across the world that literally saw fans throwing themselves (from a ruddy great height apparently) at our boys they now contribute dot012 to the jtds family. whilst being described as everything from disco, house, deep techno and any number of other pointless monikers (these are just their own descriptions we should add), death on the balcony have you could say come home to roost. think of us as their crash mat, their safety harness, their bungee cord. we are going to look after them whilst they just sit back and admire the view.

spring has arrived. think daffodils, premature outdoor parties, ambitious bbqs and the new fina 007. continuing our trend for spotting emerging stars we have enlisted the talents of mannheim poacher turned gamekeeper, and air london starlet, steffen deux. after mixing the >5 years of 8 bit< compilation and appearing on cocoons party animals mix , steffen has demonstrated his ability to turn his loft club fame, into a reputation as a producer, not just a record maestro.

ly sander & michael j. collins join forces to bring you raoul06 via raoul, a deep, soothing ep. no response is a laid back and haunting piece, featuring warm bass and soaring pads. percussion is kept simple here, with the focus on the bass groove and introspective wording. home listening and chill out sessions arent complete without this air-y number. to bring it up a bit, the >deep space orchestra remix< lays a beat and a groove under the track and takes us to galactic depths. a cool energy is spread throughout and saucy percussion takes the levels higher. this is a late night dance track that gives goose bumps. it will certainly help to reconnect senses in the early morning. >russian roulette< displays nice use of delay and relaxed percussion. this hasnt got the boom of techno, but it does have the space-y synths and ambience to bring you up to your feet. when everything is in place, it feels right an afterparty delight.

where the river turns black, is the first international album by copenhagenresident and musician katrine ottosen aka call me kat. call me kat are adorably intense and mesmerizing songs, an enchanting melancholic, almost translucent drift into this sonic world best described as alternative pop, music that gives spoken word of the ever expanding danish music scene of now. songs that adapt a fine line between organic instrumentation and that very specific sound of her voice, which although completely its own tends to remind at times on other playful ladies in music like bjørk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bjørk, mum, sigur rós etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.

under the stewardship of alan fitzpatrick, 8 sided dice recordings continues to maintain its reputation as one of the most consistent techno labels via a steady stream of well-received releases. the label operates as both a home for high profile artists and an outlet for emerging talent, striking a balance between output from fitzpatrick and his contemporaries including contributions from rich jones, chris colburn, on/off, harvey mckay, hans bouffmyhre and nicole moudaber.

incl huge brendon moeller resketch. majestic yet playful, monotasking is a 9-minute love letter to the euphoric lost dance floors of the mid-90s written in the code of today. merging hypnotic polyrhythms with quirky swung drums, its the harmonically modulated chords that carry the theme, transcending their elusively simple rhythm with an evocative narrative structure that seamlessly guides the flow of the piece before evaporating into the translucent pads of the outro. pulling no punches, monotasking is perhaps preds most fearless work to date - with no better home than here on thoughtless.

following a 12 inch for doc daneekas tty, presk returns home to deliver his second 12 inch for fourth wave. delivering his most progressive and unique work yet, presks latest injects some fun into his synth-heavy sound, while deftly swerving the moodiness of his future-techno contemporaries. >hesitate / kook< marks the first release in 2012 for what promises to be another ridiculous year for new label fourth wave – an upcoming 12 inch from newcomer felix lenferink, and man of the moment gerry reds debut album are all set for release over the next few months.

this is the second single release of marc miroir s debut album hitting home . it features two original tracks of the album, and a fantastic remix of long-time buddy karotte

originally recorded for chris blackwell of island records the rights of ‘life of contradiction’ were then given to joe higgs who released the album in jamaica and the u.k. in 1975. it was immediately obvious that this was a unique collection coming from a completely different direction to the other reggae releases of the period. although joe had first recorded some of the songs in the early sixties for studio one it was as if he was at last able to realise a vision of his own music that had previously been denied to him: either by financial constraints or from not having the right situation with the right musicians.

after their first album made the crash test dummies huge in their home country canada, their second album meant their big break in the usa and europe, thanks to the self-consciously bizarre lyrics and the deep baritone voice of singer/songwriter brad roberts, demonstrated in their worldwide top ten hit mmm mmm mmm mmm.
other popular singles off the album were >afternoons & coffeespoons< and >swimming in your ocean<. >god shuffled his feet< was the bands most commercially successfull album reaching top album charts in usa (#9), uk (#2) and in different countries in europe (ironically, after a car accident where brad roberts almost lost his arm, crash test dummies made a few other albums but unfortunately limited distribution made these hard to find).

das nächtliche gemunkel am tresen bei bier und klaren war irritierend gewesen: aufs neue album, so drummer zimmermann und basser strohmeier, würde das lo fat orchestra auch kinderchöre und ein streichquartett packen. man dachte mit grauen an the wall, konzeptalben-bombast, artrockkacke und hoffte halb, das sei nur der berüchtigte schwarzwälder humor. jetzt ist the second word is love da. nicht mit kinder- aber mit chören und natürlich mit streichquartett. die befürchtungen zerbröseln im nu, wenn im opener be honest die bassdrum nagelt, die elektrizität in der luft rauscht und singt, bevor der sägezahnbass und schmids gesang und orgel einsetzen. alles gut! alles besser! alles: mehr!

the day leonard cohen and phil spector decided to make an album together marked the beginning of one of the most controversial partnerships in either mans career.
over the course of three weeks, the pair had written 15 new songs, a selection of which ended up on the 1977 album >death of a ladies man<. it is true that a cursory listen to the album suggest that the whole thing was simply a ragbag of crazy notions thrown into the air to see where they landed. but if you pay attention, it will quickly make sense.

karat is delighted with this new single by seuil. we have been watching this guy attentively in his progression and we are glad to finally find him on karat while his production skills have reached a ripe condition. we guess his rise has just begun so watch him carefully in the near future. the two tracks of the record, in different ways, are close to karats spirit, deep, funkyand abstract enough to be used as a floorfiller or at home for a precise listening.
>sub boogie drama< is a jazzy atmosphere with an elegant restraint, even if you can feel the real swing in it.
>ketalgine network< offers a true inner odyssey, deep, sensual, funky and exquisitely oppressive.

warm, sparse, subtle pulsating ambient/ambient house album.
what is behind >human too<? its the debut album by thomas bachner – the hidden mind running playtracks records, releasing his debut album. first audio studies recognise the order of the tracks: in the end, the ten stories, each embedded in the right place, shape the album like a well-written childrens book of sound. its the first glimpse into the depths of the playtracks head and it feels curious and thriving at the same time. catalogue number 11, it reaches the human ear from several directions: downtempo, house, clicks&cuts, ambient and a subtle bit of techno and jazz. by filling the albums grooves they make it an audititve pleasure, both at home and while clubbing. enjoy your meal!

fire are to reissue pulps 1987 album >freaks< part of the fire embers reissue series with a special 2 disc release, with the second bonus disc packed with singles and b-sides from the freaks era.

really exited about this one, ana helder from argentina (comene) delivered here an nice and freaky oldschool mid tempo track,so nice.the first remix is by astro labs home cat timothy j fairplay, something between carpenter and andrew weatherall.then on the b side ivan smagghes remix is just amazing with some old synth and techno atmosphere. last one is frank west,our second collaboration,he turns the song into a solid booty dub song.

already reaching epidemic heights in 2012 with the insanely good 12inch from ds, cabin fever hit a home run again with this epic disco-tech release from a very well known techno producer from scandinavia ... and ...guuuurl... >blow smoke< is one deadly percussive butch queen of a track.. wuuuurk it!

atlanta producer distal teams up with vancouvers hxdb for >booyant<, an absolutely killer collaboration that fuses the best elements of both producers in fine style. taking a 136bpm tempo and bridging dubstep with a cutting edge bass-heavy house vibe, the duo pull together an intimate dancefloor bubbler that fans of night slugs and swamp 81 will most likely feel quite at home with. awash with lush synths and gurgling sound bytes, >booyant< is a quality track to tickle many a fancy. flip to side aa for distals solo effort >amphibian<, an excellent piece of 140bpm machine music, whirring and clicking in a roughly similar vein to instra:mentals >rift zone<. experimental dubstep pressure for the open minded, guaranteed future-proof. distal will release his debut album >civilization< on tectonic later in the spring of 2012.

bettina striegl worked with many crazy and fresh ideas on her own sound. shes creating her personal music-microcosm. the main title, which is called weltenbastler drives you with its sound to dance and move. the wayne harber remix is quite different. with a typical soundmix from his home in south african and his new residence in vienna! only special, only other! finally the track wildwuchs. comes along with deep and crazy notes of bettina striegl sound. weltenbastler - is a very successful publication of a new producer. it is like the crazy mind of bettina striegl.
