mystery production unit dj bmx continue their thrilling, no-nonsense adventures in the underground with the conquest of gravity ep for mil. techno-fused roller -warrior within- gets matters underway as thumping bass and ticking hi hats form the fore of the track, marching along over off-kilter bleeps and succinct glitches. the rough n ready aesthetic of the track sets the tone excellently for the ep, leading coherently into -wonders of time- where slight changes and improvisations keep your attention, with dubbed out key jabs that are matched melodically against atmospheric synth pads whirling in and out over crisp percussion clicks. -spinning across the sky- maintains the inspiration for myriad sources, cosmic, dreamy chimes are sprinkled over a tentatively used piano sequence, distorted key kicks and muddied percussion. its the only moment on the ep to include a vocal, and its used beautifully as it floats around the tracks central structure, lending it a spacious and depth-charged feel. -radim world- finishes everything off with a touch of pepe bradock style elegance - the multi-layered arrangements are fluid and dynamic, resulting in well-executed deep house.

opening up with the deep space atmospherics of quiet life the album immediately transports you to another world. the title track is then a melodically lush and uplifting affair with curious synth patterns ebbing and flowing beneath crisp percussion. tracks like we search for answers combine organic, wooden textures with more synthetic and trippy synth sounds that are as far away from your standard sample packs as can be imagined. across the course of the album there are dark, moody and emotive pieces like worship (previously released in extended form on the mdl02 single) featuring qzen who reads a poem by patience agbabi in tantalising fashion as well as heavyweight, dubbed out techno groovers like shadow theory. make it true (of which seth troxler will be releasing an extended edit on his play it say it label, complete with high profile remixes) is another great collab featuring the vocals of jojo de freq, and the track itself is a harmonious, radiant house jam that is humid and human in equal measure. the otherworldly, snaking feel free again showcases berkson & what s ability to coax alluring emotions out of their machines and closer logan five wraps things up in suitably spangled, textural fashion. despite the fact much of this album will work on a dancefloor in the hands of the right dj, there s an invention and musicality to it that renders the whole thing hugely listenable away from the club. a testament to berkson & what s analogue invention and fluid ideas, keep up appearances really is a master electronic oeuvre.

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.

opening the release is title track trudge , a hypnotic mood-driven composition with an ever-blooming feel throughout its nine-minute duration. traumer employs dusty percussive sounds and a weighty kick drum to create the bumpy groove, while warbling bass licks, menacing synth hooks and processed vocals are layered up to create an intricate progressive feel. following is underlying which takes a different route, this time going into deeper realms with floaty pad lines, jangling rhythms and rumbling sub tones, while classic dub techno stabs are thrown into the mix to create a gritty and understated composition.

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.

this is the first entry in red axe s shem series on i m a cliché which will see the israeli duo releasing tracks geared towards the dancefloor but always retaining the one-of-a-kind approach that it distills in all its productions

the new year starts with a big banger. the italian mastermind behind the famous sonntag morgen records joins forces with the abstract animal zoo and delivers four uncompromising techno tools with that special peak time attitude. the ep starts with the slightly acidic bass line monster marmo and let you come down a bit with the reduced title track dreamers. on the flip side mtd invites you into his personal techno basement, closes the door and let the stormclaps break loose. after that you can feel the broken energy in rituals on b2.

florian kupfer is back. this time he shows a glimpse into his diversity and depth. starting in the familiar territory with his trade marked, blue eyed freaky soul vocals and rough beats before meandering his way through strangely sad blown out drum workouts and hip hop styled new beat tracks... comes with full color sleeve.

informa experiments volume 2 continues with the same concept as the last, 4 artists submit a bank of sounds and from these sounds each artist composes a track. a simple idea that proves very effective. this time the contributors are claudio prc (prologue), takaaki itoh (wols), ben gibson (chronicle) & deepbass (informa) each version has come out very different but all have a beautifully analogous feel. deep, pulsing hypnotic techno. the release will be available on 12 inch only.

the cat is out of the bag as two greg wilson summer festival exclusives are unleashed on the expertly curated and highly collectable a&r edits dj imprint. its label favourite peza who is back at the editing block for this release, reworking walking in rhythm, the 1975 classic from the blackbyrds, into a contemporary dancefloor scorcher. its instant familiarity is swelled by peza s additional drums and percussion - his complementary instrumentation, played live over the original groove, updating this feel-good sensation. pure morning was pezas favourite placebo track and so the required amount of reverence was paid when he sharpened the razor to bring it right up to date for 2014, and provide greg with the opening track of his glastonbury trilogy this year. a full, percussive rework accentuates its anthemic reach and a well measured dose of filters and effects nudge this new arrangement to completion.

for the latest edition of the intriguing dessert islands discs re-edit series, the label has called upon the well-renowned scalpel talents of german-in-amsterdam marcel vogel, aka em vee. the double denim-sporting eccentric drops another gem in the shape of *white heat shake it out (edit)*, a bouncy and seductive disco chop-job that makes great use of the source materials bustling groove and steamy, spoken word vocals. on the flip, lesser-known re-edit heads papi del pancake and claude von reefer take up the challenge. their *gimme what you got* has a little more deep house shuffle, but retains the key instrumentation and feel of a sumptuous disco-soul jam.

after rockin floors with his debut ep feel that beat in april 2014 pascal hetzel now returns to our roughnraw underground sidekick uyx-series with his new 12 inch divisions, serving two variations on the main track plus a massive rework by the infamous pairing tuff city kids, a well-rounded package that will be a vital contribution to loads and loads of fully loaded club nights throughout the the next months.

the occasional (but always excellent) street edits series returns, this time with a trio of high-grade scalpel works from chicago re-edit hero rahaan. as usual, the source material is dusty and obscure, and the reworks revelatory. -city of disco- is in many ways typical of rahaan s work, with carefully cuts and loops being used to create a thumping, house style groove (admittedly one that pays due reverence to the source material). there s more of a celebratory, soulful feel about the impeccable -strung out-, which turns a little-known disco-soul gem into a huggable dancefloor classic. best of all, though, is -brighten you up-, which sits somewhere between later electrofunk and early house, a proto-proto gem, perhaps. either way, it s a killer.

limited hand stamped 7 inch, we can t remember the last time we came across a 7- single of straight-up deep house. certainly, it s a novelty, though there s little novel or cheeky about the two tracks showcased on this diddy, coloured vinyl release from spain s minuendo label. 2deepsoul s a-side, -home-, is effortlessly melodious - a warm, rich and enticing blend of shuffling rhythms, swirling chords and the kind of blissfully electronic melodies that make you want to dance with your eyes shut. there s a more organic and quietly soulful feel about owen jay and melchior sultana s flipside effort, -deserted-. blessed with a delicious double bass line, bespoke keys and a whisper of motor city techno (in terms of the electronics, at least), it s a sublime chunk of sensual deepness.

after a long expected wait, finally we feel so excited to show up our latest artist deepshape in oh! my god recordings an ep filled by two original tracks describing the sound of this argentinian artist, who has been living in spain for many years

t s as melancholic and longing as a snowy winter s night could be. as warm as a heart could feel when being in love. strong, pushing drums are the inner force, while the the slowly drifting saxophone brings a heart melting feel to this track. ps i love you is the note at the end of a letter that turns it into a loveletter. rafaele castiglione carefully reworked ps i love you. while the theme stays the same, the remix is a different handwriting for the very same words.

australian synthesizer enthusiast, boogie revivalist and occasional house producer inskwel dons his rarely used cold chillin inkswel alias for this outing on marcel vogels lumberjacks in hell outfit. while the aussie producers disco and boogie influences can be heard on lemonade city, for the most part the ep is a house-centric affair. mercury retrograde melds a midtempo, head-nodding chugger out of backwards synth melodies and analogue sounding beats, while ompai delivers his usual, soft-focus blend of vintage synths and warm, floor-friendly bottom-end. theres a chunkier feel about the heavily filtered disco bump of lemonade city, while degrees in the shade moves from metronomic house throbber to sparse p-funk jacker in the blink of an eye

people must jam have an undisputed three for three on the score board, and it comes as no surprise that this serious second innings in the floor jammers va series is heading straight for the outfield too ! it s a truly international affair, as chicago disco don rahaan takes the lead with an irresistible uptempo jazz-funk rewire while uk producer andy ash is next up to the plate, rearranging and amping up a teddy p classic on the b, tokyo s beaten space probe takes on millie jackson s incendiary we got to hit it off (as recently hacked up by tom trago) bsp leaves in the best bits here as the powerhouse groove gets a respectful renovation. finally out in the sticks wrap it all up eighties fashion, as a slamming bassline led drum machine jam powers us to fourth base. strictly limited to 300 copies.

hot creations call upon viva boss steve lawler for their next release, rounding 2014 off with a bang - an amazing year for the leading label. with such a widespread knowledge of music and the industry, here lawler gives us a musical education. house record is a dose of old school 80s house injected with a modern twist with city nights following suit on the b-side. there is no doubt both tracks will dominate the dance floor at peak time, capturing each heart with their infectious bouncing bass-lines, pacey percussions and all round feel good energy. this is proving to be a huge release for hot creations and steve, featuring heavily in jamie, richy, lee and steves sets… this is seriously hot!

>sleduyushly< or who is next on sol asylum is anton zap. we are pleased to be closing out 2014 with the delightfully well-crafted deep house that resonates within anton. we start with talking a simplistic yet deep and ever-evolving atmosphere with peculiar echoes and noises that speak to us through constantly moving metallic percussion. next rublewood with its trotting wooden clicks and oscillating claps we morph through the track until the euphoric themes expand bringing us to the next level. in my lesson, anton channels a 90s ambience with a definite feel for funk. arpeggiated synths with just a hint of acid mixed with harmonic pads and unconventional horn riffs bring this eccentric soundtrack together. finally her lesson brings us to more experimental territory with a futuristic outer galactic journey through space and time where a metronomic kick, walking bassline and gleaming pads transport us to another dimension.

after his highly acclaimed sunset in kreuzberg ep, dib001 shifts gears and goes straight into techno mode: constantine is a steady number, its acid bass line slugging around a dark lfo pulse and punching snares. piano chords slow down the pace here and there, adding a dreamy touch to the mood. on remix duties, idriss drafts in gaetano parisio, the godfather of the italian techno scene: his track has a more percussive feel, with a classy swinging rhythm that takes over the original groove.

it has been local talk bosses mad mats & toolis secret weapon during their dj sets over the past months and have destroyed clubs from london to berlin. with a super catchy chord theme, bumpy 4/4 beats and a slight uk feel this is as bad as it gets. it is just one of those tunes you immediately recognise and can relate with. together with a deep journey house remix from ad bourke and a fierce uk inspired bass/house mix from colognes hade we dare to say that this is one the finest releases on local talk so far. original bristol cat crackazat (now residing in uppsala, sweden) got a sound that fuses jazz theories, electronic 4/4s with a deep uk underground mentality. think underground resistance meets floating points and your almost there. somewhere else is the second single from crackazat on local talk and in early 2015 he will drop his debut album crescendo on local talk.

at a time when techno music was new and mainly innocent, a spirit was born that gave rise to a cheerful culture of independent minded people, who were then reclaiming empty spaces for the sole purpose of pure pleasure. through these places a unique vibe was created, embracing people with the lush abundant luxury of letting them feel at home, welcome and a part of a family. heideglühen is such a place and arguably host to the hottest dance floor berlin has got to offer.

a new vinyl-only imprint,
* made in soho* with a double a-side from uk house maestro mr. g - a long-time friend who has supported the store for the last two decades.
the a-side starts with a driving beat, over which sultry chords hang and build. the introduction of a spirited vocal loop gives the track a more melancholic feel, all underpinned by a great bassline that ensures the track never loses its soul, depth and funk. on the flip, * buff zenky* heads into much tougher territory. the track builds with thumping kicks and those trademark * g* hats, along with a chopped vocal, tight looping bass and swinging claps. a sparse but highly effective layered synth completes a cold-blooded package - perfect for those late nights and early mornings. an excellent first release for made in soho, displaying a thoroughly current approach whilst never forgetting the deep, soulful veins that run through its racks.

from the heart, from the soul, this is where the jiminis music comes from. jimini is a french producer who started djing early 90s, during the last 2 years he released music on blind jacks journey, série limitée, lo-deep, simple things and others.

the ep is called spotlight diktat in reference to the feeling some djs have when they are on tour. a kind of dj melancholia generated by airplanes, dehumanized hotels, waiting hours in boring terminals, basically traveling alone. i made these tracks out of this mood. at first they sounds like the typical groovy dance tracks, but when the melody comes out, you immediately feel there is something wrong now the track is on and you still dance (of course its made for that) but you could almost cry to it too. so this is what happens when a dj or a producer has to do their job, but they aren t really in the mood for it. when the party comes, they just forget everything and make the show happen regardless. they have to bear the spotlight diktat and keep on entertaining people regardless of what they have in mind.

wayne gardiner is something of an unsung hero in the deep house world. his productions on numerous labels (nervous, strictly rhythm, ibadan etc) under his own name, as classic man, logic, track masters and many more all have the perfect balance of rough and smooth, deep pads, jazzy keys, floating melodies and chopped vocal samples are all underpinned by tough driving beats and percussion creating his trademark sound. the ep features 2 mixes of killer a-side come on, do anything, 2 mixes of the slamming b-side cut i need you so bad and finally the basement jam which rounds things out. 5 tracks of pure 1992 nyc garage, one for true aficionados and house heads!
