justin timberlake, the multi-platinum pop star, actor and owner of handfuls of grammys and emmys, composed the orchestral film together with mitchell owens. his debut composition is nothing but amazing. justin takes you on a minimalistic reflective trip. the score is emotionally driven and shows pure honesty, which is the most supreme form in which an artist can express himself.

berlin-based producer, yapacc take on the original sees him transferring the song into a dancefloor-ready track whilst subtly maintaining the ambience of the original. off-beat house-esque sub-rhythms and a melodic bassline helps to keep the energy of the track moving forward, whilst the top end guitars and vocals keep the listener interest up until the very last second. russian-based dave pads remix also helps the original move onto the dancefloor with this incredibly funky, groovy-laiden back beat which simultaneously manages to hold onto the original tracks esthetical ambience. euphoric house stabs and a continuous layered texture sits behind the tracks groove, adding a sense of nostalgia and depth to an already emotive original.

spicy noodles are something colin thinks everyone can love�not one at a time�but by the bowl.

deep dubby, dark punchy techno, from architectural showing off his natural groove.

five years deep into the game, all nine lives fully intact: utrechtian feral feline larry de kat prowls his way onto pets. and we really dont need to tell you how purrrrfectly apt this debut union is. fresh from launching his own katnip imprint (and putting the final touches on a hush-hush disco edit series), pets have managed to prise four of his finest, broadest creations from his creative claws. each one floorbound, each one backing up the hype hes enjoyed from the likes of axel boman, mark e and laurent garnier, each one making us feel like cats who got the creamiest of creams. i know you can hear me� takes the lead on a more direct tip that you might expect from de kat. big pumps wrapped in a fine vibe balance of detroit and parisian house textures, but done with larrys signature dubby, jacking style, its the perfect paws-sitive statement of intent. slinking deeper into the ep, naakte groove lives up to its nude name with a lean-but-warm bass riff that purrs with finesse around a straight-up strutting drum arrangement. so much fun in such a tight, detailed groove, youll want this on loop forever.amlou stalks up behind with dusty, thumping charm. rolling and scratching like it was 20 years younger, theres an innate physicality in the drums that snaps you out when the big disco hook rides in from nowhere. finally we hit she doesnt. the dubbiest groove of the set, all eyes are on that bulbous sub, rippling synths and precision tuned snare shot. hypnotic, heavy, unhurried and heads down. these sounds are fur real. like all the best stray cats, expect larry to return to pets as and when he pleases.

sun, skyy, earth wind & fire..., brooklyn-based igbo (indigo green brown orange) reflect an elemental foundation of classic 70s and 80s funk and soul through a prism of hip arrangements and decidedly modern production befitting the diverse set of talented stage performers and composers they are. a sun-drenched celebration of life and musical positivity, their sonic palette evokes the same brilliant and playful colors as their name, the two songs presented here (on 45 for the first time) bursting with irresistible charm. it s a breath of uplifting fresh air in today s hyper-serious club landscape.

die beiden rare-groove-klassiker aus sylvia striplins einzigem album give me your love (uno melodic, 1980), produziert von roy ayers, erscheinen erstmals in ihren längeren albumversionen auf 7inch vinyl. offiziell lizensierter und genehmigter re-release. kein bootleg!

eye can see the darkness (in the end of the tunnel) is a shot of light in the dark cavern of a broken heart. blinded by the lights rips apart the heart-string orchestra rather than just pulling on the strings. a love ballad lost in the haze of the mid-summer, faded to blue and repackaged as a gentle and tender winter anthem. sharing the a-side with the lucid dreaming of jeremiah r on the drum-heavy remix.
on the flip, i am not him is a filter-squelching, bass-slapping meander into green haze territory, that finally erupts into a swagger of familiar detroit-channeled drums and steady faded pads. outernet grumbles up the black-hole cosmic radiation with an industrial-tinged number that plunges the depths of deep-space. proper growling and clanging synths to add the right amount of raw, just at the end.

exceptional, 15 minute long dancer from beatrice dillon, blessing the 12 x 12 series with a concatenated �nuum sidewinder can i change my mind?, where the london-based artist nimbly finds the square roots of jungle, techno, noise and minimalist dance music firmly anchored in steppers� dub and west african percussive tradition. if you�ve ever been snagged by sotofett, dj krust or shackleton�s devilish dubs, this one�s for you!

under the tablecloth of steve murphy and die roh first releases, madi grein has recently collaborated with sagats (boss of noho records) for two exciting 90s flavoured ep for housewax and eat more house. being a full time of the riviera and the vape/vulcano projects, he can be considered without doubts a true ambassador of the sound of brenta. �mainly love� is a truly dancefloor ep, raw and old-schoolish. clean drums drive an hypnotic vocal hook on �mantide�,sleaking a visceral dribbling bass. �express yourself�, has been heavily influenced from a short trip to london, as fast broken beats lurk under acid frequencies, soulful vocals and scattered piano fills. �i m feeling hot� is pure sweat for the dancers. its remix marieu (half of the analogue cops and boss of restoration and enlightenedwax) which closes the record with a reckless remix with strange guitars and mysterious alien samples.

mother recordings is back once again with more of the floor filling beats that has made it one of the top labels of recent times. this latest is from simion, a producer with ties to labels like suara and hedoismn and one who here serves up two top cuts just in time for summer.

this hook burns in your head, classic organ anthem im repress !!!
from the vaults! 1992 kms records pressure straight from detroit, still capable of causing much damage on dance-floors in 2016! this 4 track monster pulls together a pretty heavy cast of detroit techno and deep house royalty in the shape of chez damier, mk and derrick may all contributing various mixes and versions across the ep. if deep, driving, soul drenched house is your bag you will be in heaven with -can you feel it-, a truly classic slice of sophisticated dance music indeed. all of the mixes are killers, but it s the -mk dub- mix, also known as the -new york dub- that really steals the show, here mk and may combine to craft a classy, slamming, emotive string driven jam that pushes all the right buttons. as usual, essential retrospective action here from one of the most legendary dance labels out of detroit. all tracks remastered and fully licensed with the sole permission of mr. kevin saunderson. 100% legit and not ready to quit!

san fran-based artist, tape_hiss releases his second ep on love notes and you can clearly hear both his sound and the label s maturing in tandem. moving on from the depth of his first record, love is a dog from hell, tape_hiss takes things into headier waters, going heavy on the acid and the rugged basslines on this 4 track ep. angelian war storm begins in exactly that fashion, with 303s squelching and bassbins rattling. this continues through the clear standout trackout, the vivian girls. the gears shift a bit on the b1 where sistrum boss, patrice scott is allowed to rework the vivian girls and does so in a warbly, dirty jazz fashion. tape_hiss then closes things out with the title track, realms of the unreal, which uses an appropriate sample annoucing, �this is me, yo. right here�, and it does very much sound to us like this budding artist is annoucing himself to the world in a most proper fashion. we can�t wait to hear what comes next from both artist and label.

based out of san francisco, extra classic is a unique live band formed with a keen appreciation of vintage reggae & vintage sounds. the aesthetic, and certainly the skilled method of their production, is an ode to the art of that classic style as referenced to the term coined by the cool ruler himself. recording in their own studio, nopal recording, the band employs a taster�s choice of analog equipment and is devotedly tracked, spliced and mixed in-house direct to tape. however, as the group�s name itself implies, there is a dose of something extra and new in this swirling mixture of space echo, heavy phase, and emotive, psychedelic california-soul.
built upon the rock of an early-era dancehall swing, their first single in conjunction with brooklyn-based imprint names you can trust entitled in this life, is a perfect slice of lover�s rock gone sideways, a decidedly left-coast piece of roots and bliss driven by adrianne delanda�s lovely lead vocals and the steady, dusty echoes of the locked in players. presented in the traditional format with a version as per nyct fashion, the dub mix incorporates a soothing dose of synare beams and underwater instrumental dreams.

it all began with a licensing inquiry for a sister funk cut which we wanted to include on our deep funk comp titled �feeling nice vol. 3�. after the deal was completed producer fred forsh mentioned that the backing band of nadine brown�s masterpiece �leave me alone� had released a 45 themselves under their name teakwood. after mr. forsh played us both sides we knew that this 45 would have to be re-issued. what was about to follow nobody of us ever expected. mr. forsh told us that teakwood recorded almost a dozen of songs which were supposed to be released on a full length album. for unspecified reasons the album was never released and it remained in the can for almost 40 years. finally, we are very proud to announce the release of teakwood�s debut album �a distant star� in early 2017. until then you have to be content with this 45 rpm single re-issue.

funk was the syncopated groove that emerged in the mid-sixties through hits from james brown and dyke and the blazers. it was a natural development out of rhythm and blues. thousands of local bands tried to emulate brown�s success, and in the process created a plethora of rare and sought after 45s and album cuts that have been mined by djs and producers to fill floors or provide breakbeats. whilst the 20 tracks on this compilation would cost you thousands of pounds to own on their original issue, that isn�t really the point. instead you get to listen to magnificent grooves such as mickey & the soul generations explosive �iron leg�, andrew brown�s blues tinged �you made me suffer� or the message music of 24 carat black.
j&d records release three exceptional compilations that look at vintage african-american music through the prism of uk club culture. all night long, can you feel that beat and extra added soul will be available on double vinyl and are compiled by dj and award winning compiler dean rudland, with stunning artwork from his long-time collaborators the unknown. across the three volumes there are 60 tracks of soul, funk and boogie.

the french techno party thrower is proud to present its new label called blocaus series. the first release is produced by their talented resident anetha, real icon of the blocaus crew. the ep consists of three driving, hypnotic and banging tracks inspired by 90s rave cuts. the dutch artist stranger contributes a massive remix, making the whole ep hyper effective and catchy. from the trippy and hypnotic interstellar and towards infinity on the a-side, to the straight banging up leftlover love and stranger s remix on the b-side, this debut release is just an incipient illustration of what can be expected from this young and promising label.

straight outta berlin, with a couple of quick stops in detroit & chicago, comes saile�s �can i get a witness?� ep. two pumpin late-night mpc jams recorded straight to tape, with a spaced-out acieed remix from fellow berliner annanan!

lahun is a brand new signing to apollo records. he previously remixed milch from lakker on r&s records. as well as being a skilful musician and producer he is also a handy dj who joins the dots between marvin gaye, innerzone orchestra, theo parrish and jay dilla - all artists you can hear as influences on this debut ep.
