part two of the idjut boys mixes on file under disco sees the legendary uk dj and production duo drop a tab of acid in jkriv & the disco machines orange juice. with effects units set to stun and a course set for acid disco space … the idjuts work classic acid house elements into these mixes to produce an effect as strong as any dodgy microdot. and with the disco machines authentic disco vocals riding and floating on top of this hybrid blend the result is a truly wanged out and rather devastating piece of dance floor magic. pure idjut style! both cuts can be filed under acid disco and are made for heads.

für news from nowhere wagten darkstar den schritt vom digitalen homestudio zur staubigen studioenklave von richard formby, der u.a. für seine ausnahmearbeiten für mogwai bekannt ist. inspiriert von englischem prog-rock und obskurem techno, kreierte das trio - basierend auf seiner affinität für hip hop-produktionen - loops, die sich zu erhabenen arrangements entwickeln. das ergebnis ist ein einzigartiges werk zwischen dark-electronica und post-dubstep, das sich mit den momenten zwischen den momenten befasst und sie auf epische, kaleidoskopische höhen hebt, und das in seiner eigenen raumzeit existiert. die reise ins nirgendwo fängt hier an.

upon the first listen, the work of fernando unfolds directly on your brain and leaves a long lasting feeling of drama. fernando pulichino is one those lucky guys who can pick up any instrument and write songs without breaking a sweat. he first caught my attention with a remake of the bauhaus classic kick in the eye released on redux in 2008. he then backed up this great start with releases and remixes for labels like international feel, under the shade, internasjonal and nang. he also very busy touring as part of the 2020 soundsystem band and he is also in silver city with julian sanza.
we decided to put together a long player to highlight the talents of our man in buenos aires. the construction of *float* reveals an astonishing wealth of musical ideas, brazen touches of new wave and icy modern disco sounds are evident throughout. low slung basses are also a theme that runs right through *float* whether it is the opening song *a place* which has a monster electronic bottom end or *from out there* which sits firmly on the punk funk dinner table, bass lines are clearly important to fernando.

alex egans complete work as >the draughtsman< finally available on 2x12inch coloured vinyl!

we are super stoked to have this killer ep out on local talk as we have been big fans of both c.r.s.t. and chesus productions for good while now. as these guys are down with both house music and the uk garage scene we get served an ep that combines the best of both styles. the result is a jacked up house release that would work equally well at the classic new jersey zanzibar club or in your dirty london basement club. the first three tracks (monster munch, newark and life) takes us on a deep and jackin house trip with a bouncy garage twist. but to stir things up a lil extra the last track (special) goes all disco with some soulful philly samples ... perfect for the southport weekender crews!

kalimero is back again. their seventh catalogue number is standing in the wings awaiting you as a three track ep, one original & two remixes. melchior bachmann delivers his second release on kalimero together with his producing mate extd. will, a new berlin-based talent and long-term companion of the labels artists. they created *play*, a deep tech-house revelation that is simply catching everything what each of us is referring as to groovy and pressing it into eight minutes of pure emotional dancefloor energy. this is also caused by dennis degenharts great singing work. the remixes are contributed by mario aureo and luis leon. marios remix is keeping the tech-house grooves and keys and transforms them into a marching and pumping peaktime tune. side b is completely left to luis leon, a very talented producer and dj from peru, who did nothing less than turning *play* into an deep house anthem - a journey that has all the time to evolve itself.

sometimes your creating a declaration of love - automatically. beatamines composed many of those lines for extraordinary, dancing people, for electronic music and the possibility to express himself with tracks like >i said< or >something soul<. his tracks were released on mbf (traumschallplatten), damm records, keno and on his mother-label mangue records. but beatamines does not only work as a solo producer, he also releases tracks with his mate david jach - each number got a place in the charts .he is packing the emotions of a summer love into it, underlined with fat baselines, pregnant claps and magic melodies. we welcome beatamines as new bondage-music member. his first ep on bondage-music comes with the track >tonite< incl. remix from dachshund (highgrade) and the track >wknd< incl. remix from channel x (stil vor talent). early support from mihai popoviciu, pimont, patrick kunkel, tom novy, sis, benno blome, david keno, kiki, anderson noise, sven vaeth, pawas, sasha, acid pauli, robert owens, heartik, aruba, affkt, patrick zigon, someone else, oliver schories

nyc (via paris) based dj and producer sid vaga returns to nickodemus wonderwheel recordings with another 12 inch full of exotic deep house vibes sure to light up dance floors everywhere. it is an impressive follow-up to his genuinely well-received *brazuca* single from last year. on the a side, sid delivers *na na ye*, a driving cut with a pulsing bass line and hypnotic african chant that pushes the tune forward before getting flipped into a percussive section alongside deep and subtle synths. on the flip *manouche* can be found, a late night house tune with psychedelic balkan guitars and swirling gypsy vocal samples punctuating the track. rounding out the single, valencian producer oscar barila (plastic city) gives *manouche* a truly funky remix with a squelchy 80s new wave style bass line, thumping house beat, and irresistible synth work coming together for a real after-hours nightclub workout.

elson david is the joint venture of londons duct and owen howells, two of shades of grey recordings co-founders. their first ep, a three-tracker of techy, acid-laced house with tongue-in-cheek nods to uk raving past and present is released on 21st january 2013. the collaboration was born of their shared love of acid house and rave culture, and the desire to do something a bit different to their solo work. both bring considerable talents to bear, ducts classical training and detailed craftsmanship, and owens idiosyncratic grooves and dancefloor focus combine in unexpected ways to produce something that sounds like neither and both.

toby tobias joins the d.o.g crew for release no. 29 and fits like the proverbial glove with an incredible ep which truly lives up to its name.its probably fair to say that toby is one of the unsung heroes of the uk scene having played a pivotal part in developing the underground disco scene of the late noughties. his late night audio parties alongside releases on rekids, lets play house, nang and quintessentials speak volumes as to the mans skills and fastidious nature and here he delivers what wed be so bold as to say his best work yet with the pathfinder ep.

this is what we call european union. a greek (mr.statik / bpitch) and two italian guys (cosmic cowboys / musik gewinnt freunde) team up for doing this record on the german rotary cocktail label and a french girl (molly / rex club, rekids) and a german gentleman (marc schneider / circus company) are doing great remixes of it. if the politicans would deliver such a good work there would be no problems around!

there are two tracks on nottingham producer spares >slacking ep< that immerse you really well in his taught world of bass pressure. kankle is firing tribal house, though its hard to get the measure of how the thud of the kick drum could ever fit under the bass work, and the weekend is a clipped garage pound with serenely oppressive low end

first 500 copies with a2 poster packaged in a gatefold cover!!!! the thunder from thuringia, genosse from gera, mr. minimal samba, the man that goes by many names is here to present to us his very first lp on none other than his solo action vakant home. about 2 years in the making, studio 10 takes mathias kadens life-long work as dj and producer, world wide tours, twenty something years of listening and thinking, machines and people, wraps a bow around it all, and delivers it with roses dipped in chocolate. always taking his time with production, mathias focus on quality over quality continues to pay dividends no matter the state of the economy. unique in many ways, studio 10 was also unique for the producer himself. never before has mathias incorporated into his music so much hardware, field recordings, messages, and invited friends and orchestral musicians to collaborate

luc who? marianni? this reclusive french composer paved the underground music history with a handful of mind-blowing lps but still managed to surprisingly fall under the radar. even the experts seem to have forgotten about him when there were clues all over the place! it is true luc marianni didnt belong to no family but his own, with his constant work-in-progress through the gathering of friends and the odd random musical chance meeting.
it is therefore with great pleasure that we offer for the first time in decades the scarce remaining stock of original copies from his first and last vinyls, hoping to turn some heads along the release of the remix ep on ddd records: ddd-lmr-t01 with remixes of jared wlison (detroit), dam mantle (glasgow) and nukubus (rotterdam).

nice price deal !!! as roche, bay area balearic boy ben winans designs long nostalgic nights with no sign of morning. on >a night at the haç<, his keys converse the epic dialogue of classic house thematics: high notes begging romantic love, low notes daring physical freedom. acid alien gears turn >insider outsider< into pivotless progression, straight ahead until the record breaks. side b sees >cg vision< through a fish-eye lens, all underwater bubbles n submarine wubbles as the synthy sea swells. finally, it is hi-hats off to the fx channel in >psycho zombie dreams<, a tunnel trauma of modulated raunch—seductive, intoxicating and mind-munching. haç is boss, now do the work.

we have made no secret of our love for terrence dixon here at thema. after his thema debut with >the parkhurst<, a record that helped to reignite his career, we have seen the legendary figure move on to even bigger things, and we helped the cause even more just recently with his >the return< ep as population one on our chronicle sublabel. his resurgence has reminded us what always drew us and many others to his work from the beginning, and it is thus with immense pride that we announce minimalism re:vision, featuring remixes of terrence dixons groundbreaking minimalism part 1 from 1995.

burkhardts latest stroke, including the hit delight. now we are back again with a charming selection of remixes, including work by tobi neumann and julien veniel aka djulz. tobi neumanns remix reminds the attentive listener to the old days of oslo. it is so to speak on the point. its light, but still complex in a special way. tobi carefully unhinged the catchy vocals of delight, added it at some points and put his glance over it. the b-side is home to djulzs interpretation of pianissimo. a dark and powerful house track, that finds its glory in its simplicity. a subtle piano sample is the basis for a forward moving drum pattern. here and there an eerie vocal shot rises and guides the dancer through the musical mind of djulz.

ts7, fresh from reworking singles for afrojack and tulisa, presents >grade a<, a colourful basssline number. in what will be his first vinyl outing since 2008, ts7 utilises his 4x4 roots, working a clever looping bass to perfection with some neat vocal sampling to give it bags of dancefloor swagger. complimented by a heavyweight remix package, >grade a< certainly packs a punch. remixes come from hyperdubs walton and mista mens mella dee. walton delivers an incredible grimy rework, culminating in a series of earshattering breakdowns and some fantastic synth work that draws comparisons with some of wileys early productions. mella dee, meanwhile, moves away from his 8-bar sound as heard in coyotes debut release >ctrl<, and looks to house for inspiration with >grade a< receiving a thorough rework in that vibe. full of the sounds more familiar with his mista men productions but packing more of a grimy punch, mellas remix is a surefire dancefloor favourite.

dusty baron aka latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. a mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss vakula, his music, much like vs, sounds just as rooted in the post soviet russian landscape as it is in the post industrial north america which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of todays roots conscious electronic artists. vakula takes the controls on side a with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst side b showcases the barons heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. sides c & d (on bonus 7inch) see v step up to offer two takes on >follow shot<, continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism. a noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the dusty baron and his sound, and yet another installment in lelekas continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.
