new chain is the debut long-player from new york s small black. richly coloured and thickly layered, it is an absorbing, eclectic and obsessive body of work. the brooklyn group have succeeded in melting together locked and popped drum-shudder, gauzy spirographic synths and subtly contagious, half-remembered melody into ebullient bursts of evocative, subliminal and thoroughly modern pop. the songs are equally informed by the rhythmic bounce and stylistic swagger of more left-leaning contemporary radio rap and r n b as it is the submerged kaleidoscopic swirl of the early 4ad dream factory.
digital download-code included.

the new release from wigflex is a showcase for hizatron, one of most exciting and forward-thinking producers in spam chop s nottingham crew and, like a rave-up in a haunted house, it s dark, loud and batshit insane. executive ball scratcher is jinky and elegant until it explodes into a million glittering pieces of shimmering alien melody-box noise. at all times the insistent, pulsing beats and the thick bass stabs keep the track firmly rooted on the dancefloor, whilst its eyes and fingers lift to the stars. on >klonndyke final<, layers of battling, aggressive, organic percussion pave the way for a dirty, banging bassline and morphing, insane synth lines. constantly building, on the move and entirely unpredictable. a synth line evoking classic techno of the past is messed with on >telescope dope<, like a child melting a slug with his magnifying glass until all that remains is a scattered and horrific sludge. pummeling beats bring it together, creating a hypnotic and terrifying finale. with this release hizatron stakes a claim as one of the brightest young things in the uk electronic dance scene. with its shifting, exploratory layers of melody, thick bass and complex beats, the ep further blurs the lines between house, techno and dubstep, combining moments of iridescent beauty with raw, guttural power. a record for headphone enthusiasts and dancefloor paragons alike. watch out.

windy city producers steven hitchell and josh werner continuing to challenge and confound expectations as antenna international drops >fractalrip< a speaker-melting 303 drenched bomb from chicagos southside, harkening back to the earliest days of outlaw warehouse and loft parties this track is already doing damage in the crates of justin long, traxx and adam marshall. while on the b-side we partner with fellow chicago independent imprint nation to bring the >preludes and nocturnes< mixx of >introspective< from traxx faith cd to light. this version has been put through the sonic cacophony that is hitchells echospace studio, packed with myriad gadgetry of assorted compressors, delays and the infamous echo chamber to create an ominous, building, dark entity not for the faint of heart.

vivace is a project of stephen hitchell (cv313, echospace, intrusion) and is a unique hybrid of deep house, dub, jazz, & soul, a sort of new school/old school fusion which pays homage to chicago house heroes like chez damier & ron trent in their prescription era but with a modern twist. this project is the continuation of his previous soultek material initially featured on germanys force tracks & force inc family of labels back at the start of the century. the title track in its original form is a sub-aquatic journey through space and bass, as deep as you would come to expect from an echospace production but the sound palette has changed, shifting into a world filled with ambience and free form jazz. the use of live instrumentation & vocals are a driving force behind this project and add a depth and soul oceans deep, its like melting in sonic butter. the soultek mix is a frenzy of edits, funked up and sounds like it could be a schizophrenics take on house music, brendon moeller dives deep into soul, shifting and morphing the original into a proper late night house jam you could only imagine derrick carter or theo parrish dropping at the wee hours of the morning. the closing intrusion mix gives the original a frosty lime green haze best absorbed while inhaling, real trippy stuff. this first release has already earned countless play from francois k and in its inception (as soultek) was hailed as >jacks echo -- the future sound of chicago< by de-bug magazine, germany

contexterrior is pleased to present the debut collaboration from italian producers alessio mereu and andrea ferlin, three immaculately produced techno cuts as slick as melting ice, with eerie voices woven so deep into the mix, you’ll wonder whether you’re actually hallucinating them. mereu is known for his material on labels like cmyk and toys for boys, and is also half the duo bunkers whose “holding back” and “barajas” have made the rounds in the clubs these past several months. ferlin is known for his past releases on freak n’ chic, boxer and mindshake, and is also half of duoteque. his productions have found their way into a number of commercially released mix cds including those by magda, triple r, damian lazarus & matthew styles. from the creepy title track, circling around like a shark that smells blood, to the serene yet bouncy “boxis”, to the tribal touch of “walking on the forest path”, the deep thoughts ep offers a variety of tracks perfect for mediation on the dancefloor.

hamburg‘s very own stimming arrives on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut audiomatique with the wonderful ‚buxton pipes‘ ep. with releases on diynamic, freerange, terminal m and liebe*detail martin stimming‘s carreer was boosted by the underground hit „una pena“ last year and peaked in his debut album ‚refl ections‘ earlier this year. ‚buxton pipes‘, the lead track on the new ep, is a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting fi ltered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design that confi rms stimming‘s talents at working those subliminal zones. dainty, pretty and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, its a genuine slice of ultra modern micro-post-minimal- house. continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, ‚kakusei‘ arrives with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory its another stellar addition to the record. finally the skipping ‚seepferdchen‘ throws a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. super funky, ultimately reduced and sample-heavy it‘ll make those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. simply superb work from stimming on audiomatique. tracklisting: a: boxton pipes b1: kakusei b2: seepferdchen

long unreleased favourite from this veteran producer!! mixes by filippo moscatello and the beat brokers!!!

the phenomenal handclap band, are a many-membered ensemble which also features musicians from tv on the radio, jon spencer blues explosion and amy winehouses backing band the dap kings, all of whom contribute their individual talents to make for a very exciting whole. their sound is an anthemic, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive rock, disco, electro, and 60s soul with sprinklings of hip hop-styled orchestral breakbeats and moody, synth-soaked & heavy hooks. using live instrumentation to evoke the intricate arrangements of norman whitfield, quincy jones and phil spector as well as the pared down beats of contemporaries like the neptunes and danger mouse.
a prime example of this melting pot of styles, this single >15 to 20< , combines >vintage sounds of blondie and esg with some css and james murphy thrown in< (zane lowe, bbc 1) to make for an instantly catchy disco pop concoction thats times-tabling chorus will be as popular in the playground as on the hottest dancefloors. >15 to 20< enjoyed spot plays from the likes of radcliffe & maconie, john kennedy and zane lowe, who made it his >hottest record in the world< and went on to describe it as his >breakthrough record of the year so far.< press-wise it has featured in the nmes 10 tracks you have to hear & in the guardians film & music playlist.
live they are a core band of 8 all of whom participated on the album, being daniel collas (organ / vox), sean marquand (keys/effects), quinn luke (guitar / vox), luke o malley (guitar / vox), nick movshon (bass), patrick wood (drums / vox) amanda tomme (lead vox), laura marin (lead vox) with special guests from the album popping in all of the time. dont be surprised to find a 15 piece psychedelic, disco-matic, get down, groovy, hippy cult, rock spectacle-supergroup that really is not to be missed!

support by karotte, 2000 and one, michel de hey, red robin, bart skils, gregor tresher and many others. the whole concept of bar27 existed in an empty basement in amsterdam. in spring 2006 a group of friends starts living together in wich soon seems to be one magic place. within a certain matter of time all ideas, styles, tastes and fantasies started melting together, having one thing left in common, passion for music. after a couple of infamous afterparty s in their very own intimate and very special basement, they decide to call their basement bar27.

lee curtiss and spectral sound have been running in the same pack for years-&#64257,,nally, after suf&#64257,,ciently circling each other and snif&#64257,,ng each others business, spectral and lee have joined forces to release the detroit producers the black door ep, and it s a doozy. lee curtiss traf&#64257,,cs in airtight, undeniable dance tracks with a tricksters sense of experimentation-the black door ep is all that and more, a beguiling 12 inch whose charms multiply with each listen. >black door beauty< opens side a with a touch of chicago futurism, spinning congas, staccato vocal samples, and a swift dusting of hi-hats into a house anthem with psychedelic undertones. berlin producer dyed soundoroms remix minimizes the sub-bass thump and plays up the tracks oddball trappings, tricking out >black door beauty< with the sounds of creaking hinges, neurotic synthesizers, and a particularly creepy chorus of hysterical tittering. b-side >smoking mirrors< guides the listener through clouds of melting organ tones and busy, polyrhythmic click-clack as a sturdy bassline (with a funky, french-house beat skip) cuts through the haze. curtiss lets the rhythm do the work, building to multiple climaxes in the span of seven minutes. at the end of each anxious buildup, there s a womans breathless moan, a let-the-air-out-of-the-tires hiss, and it s time to do it all over again.

after fergies massive >eye of storm / maktub< release, next up on his forward thinking excentric muzik label is the first offering from a new collaboration between two men of the moment, christian smith & reset robot, entitled >elixir<.
>elixir< is a driving monster with one of the catchiest and most addictive hooks of the year, instantly recognisable and is sure to be the highlight of many sets as it has been for fergie over the summer. on remix duties is mr henry von, who runs excentric sub-label rekluse with fergie. his >tribal rage< remix utilises the original hook, adds an interesting array of percussion, then takes the listener on a mind-melting journey full of twists and turns. gary beck (still on a roll after his massive >consumed< on minus) also takes hold of the remix reigns and delivers a deep and hypnotic workout that has already been included on christian smiths forthcoming renaissance compilation he liked it so much.

the om 15 year anniversary compilation is chok full of tasty treats. one of our favorites is this >the latest< by sygaire & defcon featuring capitol a. sygaire (sonar kollektiv, raw fusion) is the the moniker of roskow kretschmann, who has quite the resume of contributions to modern dance music culture. starting with his role as member of jazzanova crew, to his later offerings as kosma, forum, and integra (compost, infracom!), roskow is obviously a man on a mission to spread incredible music throughout the world. here he is with partner defcon (raw fusion, melting pot), the alias of one philipp wohlleben. as innocent as that name might sound, do not be fooled. defcon stands for defense condition 5, and dj defcon brings the heat like a missile in the night. together these two have come with what clearly translates as a respectful bow to the old skool days, presented in true double 12 inch extended mix fashion, and complete with vocals from none other than capitol a.

tha playah melting it all down again!!!

the mind melt keeps melting. pretty soon we will just be puddles of freaky essential oils, reduced down to our effervescent essence, like jasmine, or dry kool-aid. of course we are talking about onur Ízers album kasmir, the gift that keeps on giving. once again renowned artists have come out in full force reworking selected tracks off onurs album for vakants remix-only vr. first up is mr. rajko m³ller, better known as isolÚe, who having spent some time growing up in algeria, continues with the african remixer theme (tunisian born loco dice remixed eclipse on part 1. you know us, as if we even need an excuse to work in africa somehow.) isolÚe takes onurs otherwise chilling innervoice and reinterprets it into a thick warm blanket of reassuring bounce. flipping the record inverts dimensions of time and space. abyssfully deep legend baby ford takes the already ethereal aida and turns it into the soundtrack for finding the god particle. its scary, yes, but ultimately it could explain everything.

minimono comes back on bosconi with a pure chicago monster house record! an eclectic three tracker ep melting all influences from filter house to techno and disco..something in between sneak and derrick carter sound with more of an electronic funky appeal as minimono has always used to.. summertime vibes just to let you wonder!

starting with the first note of >abc< mr. ho s warm beats are melting into our erdrums, down our spine, sending shots of musical temptation into our legs that give one clear order: dance!

the chile house connection continues to sling the dopest stuff to our floors, barely satisfying the constant craving of dancers and punters worldwide for the highly addictive mixture of salacious latin polyrhythmics and organic afro inspired drum sounds with universal electronic 4/4 beats. cut and wraped up neatly by chile born and fastly rising don felipe valenzuela and swiss expat dani casarano, this duo continues with this heated 3 tracker to further cement their reputation from earlier releases on fumalab as a highly combustible combination: elastic compulsively grooving house beats are intervowen with latin-american call and response vocals in >otra vida<, the fittingly titled >push< constantly builds up the pressure even in the breakdowns with frantic, flamenco style hand clapping and >the little house< with its disco style bassline and the conga driven beat hints at the fruitful marriage of latin, soul and dance music in the melting pot of 70s new york. muy rico!!

the sunshine coast?s resident electronic maverick, milanese is back on with his heavy-as-fuck 2nd album on the mighty planet mu, and a snapshot of the continued evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise uk bass music.
having pioneered the heavy, dark and twisted experimental dubstep sound with his previous releases on warp, combat, mg77, arcola, seed and planet mu, this new lp sees a shift towards collaboration. with strong vocal artists like ben sharpa (pioneer unit, cape town) and rqm (al haca, vienna), who deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style, melded perfectly with milanese?s own fat swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude and odd, mangled samples.
melting dubstep?s earth shaking frequencies with hip hop & grime vocals and hard edged timbaland influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop nor idm - you could call it a mashup of all these, but it?s more accurate to say it sounds like streetwise bass music for the year 3000. incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeping the funk, fury and bounce 100% on lockdown.
challenging, menacing and forward thinking like his previous releases 1up on warp (2004) and extend on planet mu (2006), its also 31 year old steve milanese?s most dancefloor record yet.

ron trent presents the master plan >obama tribute<, a musical tribute to the election of barack obama. two versions of >melting pot< (one being the instrumental) combine layered speech excerpts over a dreamy, conga driven deep house beat w/an uplifting piano solo towards the end.

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

rothers latest release is like a point a to z on his impressive body of work and gigolo is extremely happy to present this to the congregation! the melting of electro with other genres is what makes the electronic scene and its music more interesting than ever before...
