together with co-producer tom mcfall (r.e.m., weezer, stars) they experimented with new sounds, structures and melodies - and now they are very proud to present the result: the best album by alcoholic faith mission to date. alcoholic faith mission will continue touring as much as possible in 2012 in support of the album, covering europe and usa/canada - and hopefully theyll get to play lots of festivals in the sun.

from the start of this debut release from amsterdam-based lapien, one conceives that the young producer is conscientious. >anvers<, the french name for belgian port antwerp, starts in unassuming manner, synths swimming, bass pondering, a gentle cymbal tapping. its the sound of thoughtful admiration, as if lapien is standing in front of the citys towering gothic cathedral, motionless in the midst of a now modern metropolis. but then, as loops spring uncomfortably back and an insistent beat thunders into the fray, one realizes that this is no time for admiring architecture: this is a night drive through the city – coarse orange streetlamps, chrome blue reflections, droplet-stained window panes. it is, also, at an unusually and unsettlingly fast pace, dragging its deeper house timbres and textures upwards. conforces mix is anything but restful: alarms in the distance fall around offbeat rhythms of increasingly diverse dynamics, bringing rain down on the city at night. to end, fred ps composition is heavy & uncompromising, yet it quivers with synths washed in beautiful, calming ambience

following his successful >tears in vain 12inch< on perspectiv, promising new producer simon garcia continues his quest for the holy-grail of modern house and techno as we set forth into >cavern<. and indeed >cavern< is a breathtaking ride - a warm pulsating synth pattern is coaxed along by a dusty, filtered kick before we are greeted with rushing bright percussion and a thunderous lead kick. wild fx open up the floor with the first ecstatic break and from there on the track runs with a mind of its own, exploding with rapturous drama and tasteful restraint. bringing us back down to earth at least for a moment. ‚bass ii bass‘ treads more swinging, groovy territories in a classic ny styled house track, updated for 2012. freaky, pitching vocals swirl around a tight bass-led rhythm section, telling a futuristic story of hopeless hedonism. the emotive-piano house vibes of ‚options‘ will likely raise a few tingling hairs for those well acquainted with steve bug‘s recent dj sets. the perfect blinded-by-the-morning-sun moment, mr. garcia really shows of his classy production skills with this slinky, moody slice of classic house.

long-winded essays on the musical qualities of wareika are unnecessary. the trio has been playing its way in to the hearts of electronic listeners and party-goers since their first release in 2008 – especially with their brilliant live performances.
wareikas solid output has been proven over and over with steady releases on noted labels like liebe*detail, conaisseur or perlon. falling categorically somewhere in between house, jazz and dub, wareika have remained individualists and their music is a hot topic for djs, clubbers and festival visitors alike.
now, at the end of the 2011 season, we are proud to release >amber vision< – a wareika record that couldnt fit better into the bar25 musical family.

after i heard enol s beautiful track white mango on initial cut, i felt the need to reach out. i had a long and friendly conversation with matthieu (enola) about our musical background and agreed on the fact that we both have a weakness for pop music and early detroit techno, and quickly came to the conclusion that something with a little pop would be perfect for the label. enola came to us with >slow motion< featuring the vocals of will caulfield. its something different for enola, and something different for us, deep techno pop, perfect for 5am! enola is the new project of french dj matthieu monnin, who used to be part of the techno outfit noirdegout. matthieu now works on his own, finding his niche in melodious techno, taking inspiration from the sounds of the nineties. he has done work with the likes of rodriguez jr, anoraak, and arno gonzalez, and now he joins correspondant with >slow motion<. on the flip side, nhar, the other half of correspondant turns the darkness into light with for me, his best remix to date. if the original is for 5am, nhars remix is for 5pm, when the sun still shines and its warmth still remains.

remastered and limited re-issue of this ambient masterpiece by biosphere.

for the past decade or so, polish musician michal jacaszek has been exploring a new, resolutely modern chapter in eastern europes long, storied love affair with classical music. his creations are painstakingly crafted collages of electronic textures and baroque instrumentation, harpsichords being swarmed by woolly static one minute and pulled apart by billowing wind the next. ambient music - if we can generalize unnecessarily for a second - is rarely so sonically challenging.
limited to 700 copies, including free download coupon.

another epic seahawks voyage and this time theyre heading for the deep ocean of outer space. the results have been likened to the klfs chill out album performed by astroanuts. yep its that spacey but theres plenty of baked groove excursions along with the cosmic dinner jazz. imagine that instead of creating yah mo be there, michael mcdonald and james ingram hopped aboard a spaceship captained by sun ra and set the controls for alpha centauri. somewhere between the sea of tranquillity and the red heat of mars they find a party going on, klaus schulze is jamming with chic and peter frampton, kenny loggins is on bongos and the horn section from the doobie brothers are blowing soft and sweet but mike and jim have taken a whole lot of mind bending psychotropics and the music sounds like nothing theyve ever heard before. you are entering the seahawks universe, let your mind roam free. to ensure premium audio fidelity, the lp was mastered at abbey road and pressed at vinyl factory. as ever the artwork is beautiful and the edition is limited so get your skates on!

heralding the birth of the first leleka is a limited edition, hand stamped, two-tone vinyl release from the labels owner vakula from konotop, whos name is widespread due to the success of releases on firecracker, and recently shevchenko (white labels with prints of ukrainian literary celebrities such as gogol, lesya ukrainka & shevchenko himself). these are an ideally captured ukrainian landscape of change, struggle, nature and art slightly embellished by industrial design of the 50s. and this is what the leleka label is all about, its musical concept reflects vakulas love of folk and live music, where passions and melodies play leading roles. this debut release contains six vintage tracks from vakula, almost serving as a prologue to his recent epic output. the meeting of imported soul, exploitation movies and detroit techno, with ukrainian folk melodies and soviet electronics, offers a glimpse into vakulas way of working, and gives us a taste of things to come

ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the shimmy sham sham sessions. fall is knocking at the door. dancers bathe into the red sunsets hoping to squeeze the very last drop out of summers bliss. they know theyll soon have to haul their tropicana scented butt to reality… but in the meantime they gaze upon those last three months of love and dreams. half stunned, they let their mind wander across the meanders of the promising days to come. time has stopped. the beat keeps on rolling, and those words swirl and resonate in your head: >pony loves the sun, to touch her back and see her run…< in the heat of the night, let those sweaty numbers melt your worries. no top hat and gator shoes required…just shake that ass!

trust now is the keystone album of brooklyns prince rama. the album takes the kaleidoscopic mysticism of ancient devotional music and focuses it through the fierce urgency and archetypal language of pop, forming an environment that is both accessible and impenetrable. deep synths rise from a sparkling sea of gamelans and prayer bells as tribal drums pound the earth with the hypnotic power to heal or destroy. voices carry captivating and haunting melodies that shine like the diamond jewels of old bollywood soundtracks spilling over dark wave dance floors.
first conceived as a ritual to be performed live, the songs were fittingly recorded inside a 19th century church in seattle by scott colburn (sun city girls, animal collective, arcade fire). as their 5th full-length album, and first as a duo, trust now is perhaps prince ramas most focused, cohesive and powerful album to date.
comes with code for free digital download of this album.

the 250 rec continues on his journey only vinyl productions. the series continues with this new artist showing two tracks. >sugga gal riddim< is a dub session with tropical sounds and atmospheres that recall moments are often forgotten. a beautiful atmosphere that can bring a smile and calm in a stressful life now. the version of stefano testa makes it closer to the classic dancefloor and parties ... perfect for those moments where the sun rises, the moments when you think about life and how everyday life is beautiful in itself, times you feel alive. >dirty< is the hit! a crescendo of rhythm and atmosphere that will blow every dancefloor. smile and no desire to stop for any reason. sounds dirty and syncopated. another powerful 250 recs vinyl!

here we have the sampler to the long awaited album from the talkin beatz camp, >make way for the new generation<. label boss kg has worked really hard to pull this project together and he has been working with some of the best producers in the scene.

the black dog are a legendary live act whose ability to destroy venues and wreck soundsystems is undeniable. they blur the boundaries between djing and performance while possessing an excellent sense of where to take the crowd. live, they represent purist techno, which is also utterly crowd pleasing. on record, tbd are famous for delivering subtlety, emotion, and intellectual richness, as well as great tunes, but never in their career have they managed to convey the sheer visceral impact of their performances as on liber dogma. this album contrasts with last years extremely well-received ambient outings on music for real airports and the dadavistic orkestra collaboration with members of the psychick warriors of gaia. while none of the bands artistry and care has been lost, there is now a greater focus on a pure, and utterly exhilarating, vision of how techno can transform the dancefloor into a realm of complete pleasure.

j-live s long awaited fifth full length album, >s.p.t.a.<, will be available on cd, vinyl and digitally. >s.p.t.a. said person of that ability< (pronounced spitta) is the follow up to the >undivided attention ep<. this is the first full length project released from his own imprint triple threat productions. the producer, deejay and emcee, approaches this project creatively as if he were a three man group rather than a solo artist. the album features production by j-live, rjd2, nicolay, the audible doctor, illastrate, korede, floyd the locsmif, marco polo and diamond d. the cover art features illustration by adam >illus< wallenta and art direction by collin badger of freshrr.

the long awaited >thracian ep< by bogdan irkuk a.k.a. bulgari is finally here. already played by idjut boys in tokyo and supported by heavy names such as mark e and toby tobias to name a few.
bogdan asked to include this legendary quote by his hero brahim ivaylov, written on the back of the record sleeve. -... it came down from the mountains, over the wind-swept plains, we covered our faces as the wind and the sun spoke with one voice, singing our songs so impossibly true...- brahim ivaylov, thrace, 1906.
these few words really capture a lot about the mood of this masterpiece. dont miss this release - no repressing.
