who is the mysterious ketsueki sakuru? a lone warrior from the far east or an already established artist working under another name? we here at giallo disco cannot be sure, but are confident in their ability to detonate dancefloors and provide the correct ambience for walkman-missions everywhere. sounding as if muslimgauze was a confirmed new-beat devotee or if unit black flight was from dubai by way of tokyo and specialized in videogame soundtracks. the blood meridian ep is music for desert wastelands and murderjunkies.

fusing forces from norway and ghana for crosstown rebels is djuma soundsystem & yann coppier feat. king ayisoba, with the expertly crafted anyimo a african infused techno beast of a track, featuring remixes from dj and producer ibadan kingpin jerome sydenham and the illusive johnny aux who brings his signature acid house sound. king ayisoba originates from ghana and has been sharing his modern day twist on kologo music all over the world. norwegian in origin, djuma soundsystem has been creating music and touring the world for over a decade on labels such as rebirth, eskimo and noir. the two creative forces have combined here to create a truly unique afro-infused head turner of track with king ayisoba superb ghanaian vocals. the legendary jerome sydenham delivers two floor-filling interpretation of the original, both vocal an ibadan dub, hike the tempo and hit the floor running. also, johnny aux delivers a rib rattling techno take on the original with devastating effect

the bush is a homage to the place where i have lived for the last decade (askew road). the askew road itself is slowly changing so i wanted to document all the places that play a big part in mine and my families lives before they eventually get sold for more flats or tescos. 002 was all about the mighty sun pub which has now been sold and transformed into a costa coffee and an estate agents. next up is our local park which hopefully will never see change as its been our little slice of heaven in w12 since we moved here.

willie burns (the trilogy tapes/wt records/ l.i.e.s. records) complements this unusual walk in the woods by absorbing it into his warehouse banger signature. burns rework focuses on micro events of the original to create a sort of granular house version out of them. the adventure continues on a somewhat melancholic turn with we have been here before and sometimes as the b side. while we have been before is a more dancefloor-oriented take to krautrocks signature synthline layering, sometimes is norwells venture into a more techno universe than he’s mostly associated with to come out with a soothing, yet banging work. as digital bonuses, norwell offers glimpse a short but catchy synth jam riddled with different layers of complexity. this piece is then taken into obscurity by farbwechsel records boss s olbricht for a ride into a 80s-cyberpunk club where people are trying to dance their problems away in a dystopian world.

here comes the long awaited 2nd edition of my love is underground reissue compilation!

a year after his last outing on the label, gunnar haslam is back on delsin with four more tracks of idiosyncratic techno. opening up this ep with the title track, haslam cooks up a spangled brew of erratic synths and spinning hi hats and ties them together with a heavy rubber kick drum. followed by sarsi which is then completely different, its a beatless and emotionally forlorn cut that still manages to take you somewhere special. deep dancefloor business taking over on the b-side. scurrying alien sounds closed by a frenzied techno trip. each track here is different from the last, and each track here is a refreshing proposition from one of the most interesting guys around.

‘prepare to commit the name najem sworb to memory’ commanded philip sherburne when he reviewed the strasbourgers previous record for resident advisor. it wasnt a hard ask, sworb makes some pretty incredible stuff. known by some for his fantastic release on the now defunct ai records and famous renow ep on clone basement series (was supported by josh wink, rod, cassy etc.), najem makes his debut here on technorama records! swaying to the uk sound, this ep clearly targets the dancefloor, delivering four genuine techno tracks structured with the trippy spacey savour that najem is known for. enjoy!

the result is a powerful selection of vibrant techno, with a warm, almost spiritual, feel to it. both donato dozzy and neel have appeared individually on time to express before, here they appear for the first time together as voices from the lake. the italian duo offer more evidence of their distinctive brand of hypnotic techno with zulu vortex , a spiralling percussive workout. this is paired with a track from wata igarashi, a rising japanese dj and producer. night is a glowing, radiant piece of techno that has become a regular feature in peter van hoesen s recent dj sets.

whilst its neighbour has always taken the plaudits on the party front the steely city of sheffield has its own house history, with much of it residing in the warm buzzing darkness of the studio. its here that we find our latest robsoul rookie. a fresh name for the label, but a producer who is far from new to the game. tommy vicari jnr’s first release was pressed to the black gold and released back in 2004. since then there have been sporadic outings, but the last two years have seen a reinvigorated tommy roll out over ten new releases and play a huge part in putting sheffield s house music firmly back on the map. threshold of eternity sees tommy drop the northern grit to replace it with shimmering warmth and sunshine vibes across all four tracks. fidgeting rhythms, chopped samples and groove-heavy beats and bass are spliced together to create an essential feel-good release.

hell yeah, this time in collaboration with dj ralf’s laterra recordings, is a label you can always rely on to come up with some interesting musical projects, and that is exactly the case here: the italian outlet’s next releases are two balearic tinged remixes of a popular italian chant, bella ciao, by brooklyn troupe underground system released on a 12&#8243,,, and a 10&#8243,,, vinyl, remixes come from leo mas & fabrice, and stunning artwork by andrea amducci inspired by guttuso’s funerale di togliatti.

for their first ep, palma deliver a mixture of fast and melodic techno. composed in the heat of the summer and the moistness of a tiny room transformed into a studio, the three musicians handle drum machines, sound modules and effects to re-interprate 3 tracks from their previous live set. the a side is minimal and discrete, while providing with a strong theme. on the b side, palma show a more powerful angle to their music with heavy stabs, acid basslines and pounding drums. here is the first 12- of a series focusing on jams and live sessions

mikkel metal was the first artist on echocord, and the main reason why the label was started back then. after many many releases we are very happy and proud that he now returns with a full lenght album. more than 7 years after his last long-player album mikkel metal returns with a new album for echocord. bypassing dub-techno as the starting point, this is music clearly consistent with earlier output. we are presented with 10 tracks that all evolve with around a melancholic melodic framework. while there is clearly a nod to detroit and another to dub- techno, the overall impression is consistently and unmistakably the sound of mikkel metal. a hypnotic, very enjoyable and thorough return from the danish artist.

terrence dixon: orlando voorns in my world will be strong for album of the year 2016. really refreshing..and already classic. dutch legend orlando voorn restates his unique approach on techno! tip! orlando voorn has always been acknowledged as a master thanks to his unique sense for abstract melodies and drum programming. in my world restates that fact: beautiful, suspended, rich in detail. it s that high tech funk!

after the late nite, neon-red funk of his last release the digital fantasy (which picked up support from the likes of benji b, alexander nut & ross allen), quaid returns with a new ep: cfe. ain contrast to the strung out, hazy eroticism of the digital fantasy, here the heart rate has elevated and the signals pushed further into the red nightlyfe best illustrates this with its rough hats, minor chords and irrepressible rhythm. body forms is a nod back to the hydraulic, locked funk of quaid s previous releases, whilst tango offers huerco s style synths under subverted prince housequake-era drums.a 99percent weaves around a driving bass algorithm and the insistent vocal refrain supplied by longtime collaborator dziko.atheres a change in mood here, the night has passed and sunrise is moments away. lights on tomorrows horizon glint endless glass, dust and chrome.

lowris as been following the path of the mini-spacecraft for ages now and was hardly trained by captain hankü layz to be able see the deepness of the galaxy. discovering severals unconscious space entities around while drinking bio roquefort juice brought him to deliver new electronic messages. we now darkmatter is all around but, we dont no what it is, here we know the frequencies. lets boogie space woogie while they are doing the pig war!

repress 2016 - happy to welcome le loup (hold youth, half baked,concrete music) in the aeternum music family, still young and already many releases on known and respected labels. he delivers here two tracks full of grooves in a housy touch that he knows well. while on the b side we are pround to have a remixer no less than baby ford (perlon, trelik) which delivers a magical remix to close this ep in a perfect way.

superb throwback electro sounds of the early noughties on offer here from swiss artist elektrobopacheck, debuting via his self affirming synthesizer music laboratory. this is quite reminiscent of stuff on vitalic s seminal citizen records imprint a while back. highlights being atlantic intertravel and kubusmann calculates which sound similar to the majestic modular tones of japanese telecom or the late night electro funk groove of ride on the waves. sure, he s not trying to re invent the wheel here, but it s all good!

2016 is all set to kick off in fine style for the opilec music label as they release three brilliant remixes of an i-robots original. artwork comes from tamami saito to ensure this is another irresistible package. the original track here is opilec music boss i-robots come to harm which was released on his debut album laws of robotics back in 2007.

wph ten-2 follows…wph ten-1! sometimes life can be really simple. so now, the music. vintage dynamodyse (who is also srf inc of course, with some help from his friends) is what you are getting here. but seeing as our deep man from cologne isnt exactly the most famous producer on the block, well just remind you by saying that the music is deep house that has absolutely nothing to do with what all techsters and hipsters have been calling deep house. just listen and play the f..ck out of these two!

hey everyone – so we re back again finally with number 5. it s taken us ages but expect a slew of 12- releases from us this year. the big news for stores is that we ve gone vinyl only. our reason is simple - we love digging and label honcho the mole only dj s vinyl so why not follow our passion! maybe tomorrow is starting the year off with a doozy from one of the most knowledged disco guru s on earth – koosh. this amazing dude has been keeping canada s west coast edits scene strong and free for many moons. the heads should know him thanks to his releases on cult labels such as common edits, red motorbike and his own 7 inches of love. what you get here are 2 prime cuts that we guarantee to bring the sunshine to any dance floor and a bonus fx ripper to melt minds.

cardopusher appears as if by magic on super rhythm trax to drop four acid bangers. there are no frills or pretensions here, just jugular acid trax that dont mess around. straight up, solid and perfect for dark strobe lit basements. this ep channels the rawness with aplomb.

a passion for techno has always run deeply through his music and under his trevino moniker he is also a powerful creative force (check his recent front album to get the full picture). here, he takes transmission breakdown on a magical excursion, filled with subtle, hypnotic, evolving energy, anchored with an irresistible pul- sating bassline throb - a perfectly synergetic interpretation to round off jona s sidetracking album prologue in style.

fresh goods from vc-118a. known as one of the deepest electronic producers out there, samuel has released under different monikers as mohlao, multicast dynamics and inward content (together with delta funktionen). here he presents a 6 track conceptual ep about ancient aviation machinery operated throughout turbulent times. but don t be mislead, this might be conceptualized in historical events, the music is far from a blast from the past. this is some pure futuristic hi-tech-electro from the north of the netherlands! for fans of warp and all other adventurous dj s out there...

mexican duo 4004 and sebastian vorhaus aka soul of hex have had a great few years under their various monikers with releases for dirt crew, vicario ltd and of course cvmr where they return to here following their debut ‘lip reading’. this inaugural release was accompanied by remixes from larry heard and put soul of hex on the map for the duo, with support coming from the likes of dj sneak, art department, sebo k, breach, shadow child and huxley to name but a few.

the last few years has seen parris make a name for himself across a number of scenes, to the extent he is just as likely to be found spinning records for butterz as he is putting records out on berceuse heroique. here at idle hands we first touched base with parris many moons ago when he bought copies of the first release on his soundman chronicles label into our shop. as it is one of our favourite labels we were intrigued to hear what he would come up with as producer himself. needless to say we were impressed. presented here are two tracks that perfectly reflect his sound and our own a nod to techno here, a weighty bass line there, a love of reverb everywhere and all with a view to being played in dark rooms late at night. the 12 inch of burr and blue is idle hands last release of 2015 and we think it rounds off nicely what has been a great year for the label.

one copy per customer!
i walk around in the solar field. from here, the surrounding beams look like cylinder­thick, motionless rain or comet tails painted onto the sky. the tower is all white because the sunrays are pointing directly at it, white in an erased way, like if you leave an empty patch on a drawing, and surrounded by a halo. i go over to one of the sun mirrors. it’s huge and darkish and cold when i touch it. i don’t know if it’s cold and immune to the sun or transfixed in a much more extreme way than the desert. a solar plant can take much more sunlight. it has direct access, like a clip through into the thing outside. the widest zone, like the highest point when it’s lightning. the sunlight is magnetic. intense heat from the mantle pushing against the crust to get closer to the sun.

samo dj, baba stiltz and tzusing came together to form this four track ep that invites you to let your mind wander to foreign territories. take the ride and find yourself in exotic places far from here and now.

straight out of the ukraine comes io (mulen) aka aleksandr voznichenko, a man whose back catalogue includes releases on labels such as rejected, eklectisch and area remote to name but a few. now he links up with one of paris’ premier labels, run by one of paris’ premier crews – apollonia. with one solid track and a classy remix from danish young gun malin génie, this is another surefire winner from apollonia. ‘to the unknown’ kicks things off with a steady build up. shrouded in a hazy mist it draws you to its understated groove, io turns in a very considered production that evolves at a slow yet utterly gripping pace. the energy levels rise like the tide of the ocean, engulfing you before you know it. io’s dexterity and cunning ability to keep the listener engaged manifests itself here, bomb! on the flip side, malin genie steps in to give ‘to the unknown’ a new lick of paint and what we get is a jazzy, minimal rework with a jaunty skip in its step and a wicked bassline.

2019 repress! panamerican part 2 is here! this time the famous south american highway get s a ben buitendijk remix treatment plus a brand new dub bomb from moreon & baffa called kota 1000.

william thurman aka royer follows up two astounding releases for material image with a deep, curdling ep of wandering house for lobster theremin. picking up where his last excursions left off, collectively finds royer on typically dreamy form, taking micro-thought experiments and carving them into evolving, metamorphic journeys that capture as much the ambience of late night paris as the spirit of us house music. to even the balance, german newcomer trp fires up the cannons for a tough, bouncing remix on the b2. crackling and chugging with dust-coated drums and pads, this is a serious floor-banging rework right here. original artwork comes from royer himself, with full artwork matte sleeve, warm red centre labels and a mind-bending b&w a4 insert.

resopal retrieves two more smoldering remix cuts on transparent vinyl. safe to say that both of them - the a side by heidelberg s casio casino (aka steffen neuert of bergheim 34 ) together with lopazz - and the stunning b-side by our marseille connection roar - are absolute stompers. what we have here are two finely crafted remix versions of the original that seduce the dance floor in totally different ways. both contain perfectly structured arrangements that creep up on you with the stealth of a ninja, making them a real pleasure to mix with. the heidelberg guys show a minimal disco hybrid version of the original. from the moment the bassline emerges from a dense thicket of white noise the pair make their intentions clear. with expertly-crafted sequences punctuated by dramatic crescendos and distinctive mood changes their re-work is a melting pot of styles and influences that somehow manage to coexist, creating a rich montage of sounds and textures. on the b - french duo roar deliver hallucinogenic, long, patient grooves followed by some fantastically understated sonic tweaking which gives the track a real kick without ever losing that empty, laid back vibe.

nice price deal !!! ephemerals debut on helena treats us to three deep originals, offset by a characteristically storming xdb remix on the flip. molecular and cirrus combine gritty textures, half-heard phrases, pulsing bass and cyclical synth and acid lines into the kind of meditative sound experience familiar to fans of plan b or underground quality – but here, and especially on ammonia, overlaid by the distinctly dubby feel of drizzly afternoons spent at ephemeral s home in the midlands. xdb, true to form, grabs the latter track and sticks on some serious afterburners, setting controls for a revved-up voyage across the surface of some distant planet.

raw raw records presents first vinyl release from stanislav tolkachev.here s 4 tracks ep called hesitations with melancolic and depressive vibe.

dj soch presents the third volume of -kick tom & hi-hat-. the first track, * fight for love*, is a powerful raw groove in jacking style. when you least expect it, it turns into a dream traveling towards infinity, a poetic voice, the pad and the synth transform the track and take the dancefloor to another dimension, straight from mathematics recordings, giorgio luceri curates his remix, taking the arpeggio and buying a ticket for a techno trip to detroit, made of synths, pads and drums that remind us of carl craig productions. speaking of detroit, here comes * a friend from detroit* - it seems that dj soch know the way to our destination, with a super, detroit techno, stylish funk-bomb! vinyl only limited edition

here comes the second 12“ release by rodden von ast on resopal. his „hucabana haet ep“ is infused with an eclectic variety of genres -- from house to techno, from electro to house and full of a sound that is so powerful and distinctively his own. four fresh and amazing tracks for 2016.

velvet records proudly presents « v003 », a four-tracks long overview and celebration of the contemporary electronic music scene. together, the artists featured on the french label s first compilation present an audacious look at the depth and span of the scene while also moving the form forward into bold new shapes. touching on expansive deep techno and minimal house, this compilation is made up off exclusively produced and previously unreleased music from ekomine, yaroslav lenzyak, leopol and damien k. sahri, capturing the essence of the current chapter of these genres, hinting at the shape of those to come. french producer ekomine is the first to hit the road with « ramble », a solid sweet-sour blend of atmospheric sounds leading the listener to find himself gently trapped into an unpredictable deep-space diving journey. this is where ukrainian artist yaroslav lenzyak and acolyte rata come in with « cellar door ». no constellations here, but the substantive claustrophobic tale of a spectral entity slowly catching your doppelgänger in the twilight hours. an angel flies and we re suddenly entering the sensitive world of « joy misery » from parisian early analog machines enthusiast leopol, who invites wandering souls to a dance-oriented and delicate voodoo ritual before passing the torch to berlin-based producer damien k. sahri s « travel marvel » which confers the record a multi-ethnic dimension, kindly whiplashing bodies with a mixture of unavoidable pulsations.

for two decades now, ploink has promoted techno nights around norway, presenting local talent as well as some of the biggest acts from around the world. last year we finally set up our label branch and with this we now count 9 releases. ksmisk is norwegian pioneers trulz & robin’s otherworldly alias. between them they have released music for over 15years on labels such as bpitch, eskimo, jackoff, electronic be, dialect, suicide, cymasonic, full pupp and rett & fletta. we are proud to present their first release for ploink. we asked them to describe the two tracks - this is what they sent us: strikkemor - grandmother is out of bed with here knitting kit. sneering and swinging here stick around. she is angry!!!!!!! ginnungagap - before time, there was nothing. an endless void of darkness. until.

new edits series championing the underdogs of disco. digby s disco loves those tracks that have a moment of genius nestled alongside a questionable chorus. all taken from a 7 inch collection accumulated over the years, youll find no obvious cuts here, rather remakes of charming, imperfect records that otherwise may not see the light of day. ! 300 copies... first support from soul clap and tim sweeney..

despite delivering a smattering of original nu-disco productions over the years, producer disco tech is probably most famous for his sneaky but relatively faithful reworks of classic funk, soul and disco cuts. here he returns to the re-edit field, reworking more sweet soul and funk jams. waiting on you delivers a slick, floor-friendly take on al green, while devil s work subtly tweaks a mid tempo funk-soul gem, check the suitably slow and dewy-eyed take me as i am.

being at an albion gig is like entering a bedouin tent and smelling the scent of an exotic spice for the first time, at that point you can t imagine living without it for the rest of your life.- the psychedelic disco viking is back. master crate digger albion is a dj who doesn t merely take you on another drum journey, but adds an extra dimension where preconceptions don t apply. it can take a while to get used to it, but sophistication never went out of style, it just took more than three decades to catch up. when the coin finally dropped, albion was there to pick it up. when it comes to the mixtura series albion always opens up new ground. he only selects the finest cuts for our table like -burning disco- we here sexy sultry voice from a man who probably has a very large moustache dont you know i m dancing like an eagle in sky, people always ask me why? onto flamingo synths play in tandem with guitar and flute glides though a delay without a care in the world, add the horns and sexy porno voice and you got a winner. mustang is about letting the good times roll, freaky disco biscuits with dash of rock? yes please. comes correct on 180g white vinyl with no repress

first time i heard this track out was d.jing with adrian gibson, booker/manager for the london jazz cafe in its hay day in the early 2000s, i thought it was some crazy obscusre early jacksons 45. i had no idea what it was but i liked it and it stuck with me. as my eyes were on 45 s at the time it passed me by until numero group reissued it on their fabulous soul messengers compilation (essential purchase if you don t own). after quite a bit of badgering rob sevier, co-owner of numero group, let this grace my format of choice, so here we are, both sides first outing as a single.
