take a long and wistful stare out of routines window. beyond the urban sprawl and endless nine-to-five tape loop, pass the minds monotonous prattling and humdrum hum of breadwinning, losing and general existing, somewhere out there burns a summer eternal, with all its romances still in tact. a place full of sweaty nights and protracted lazy days where the breeze teases with salty lips, and the sun leaves its freckled kiss on basking knees and cheeks. this is where everything happened just so, where bittersweet memories were made and mistakes first revealed their lessons. here is where you can think, reflect or simply escape. here is your exit.

we are the ones with the courage to stand up and express our ideas. so many heroes have sold out, moved on, and turned their back on the detroit underground. if the true believers are waiting on the calvary then i guess cryovac will have to do. this is our fight whether we like it or not. we are a few like minds, not the alphas, never the favorites. we are the other guys, the ones nobody bets on, the least likely to survive a business. we know what the score will bring us, but there is an appointment and we mean to keep it. heroes must define themselves and then redefine themselves. each day that moves forward brings opportunities to tweak creations into what the now means. kieth kemp endures the elements and ailments of an ever changing electronic world. he is an original hero with a smooth technique that reflects an instinctual nderstanding of sound and soul. kieth represents a talent and spirit that does not falter no matter how strange a circumstance can get. he follows his own path to relavence. i am proud to welcome kieth to the cryovac machine.

following a 4-release strong 2012, djebali) is set for its first ep of 2013. once again a 2-track package, the a side throws up a classic house drum-kick warmed up by a soothing melody, while a sexy and sultry number on the reverse reminds us why djebali is up there with the best deep house producers of paris. as before, topping off the offering is a vinyl loop on each side. released as part of the djebali limited vinyl series, all tracks are arranged and mixed by djebali, and made with analogue gears.

weve got the two titans teaming up once again on eternity, and there is no letting up as the cyclic sensibilities and swirling pads engulf the unsuspecting listener, letting the crackling rhythm section lead the way to the intense breakdown, reminding us exactly of who we are listening to. subtle details add to the grandiosity of the whole affair, and yet another lesson in anthem-construction has been delivered by the two masters.

in the realm of electronic music australia isnt down under anymore but rather up there: so many fresh new producers pop up now and bell towers - aka melbourne resident roman wafers and one half of the bamboo musik dj team - proves himself one of the most promising ambassadors with his debut on internasjonal.

tropics a.k.a. chris ward first appeared on planet mu last year, following up two eps with the album parodia flare. commended by pitchfork for his lush soundscapes and hazy pop, whats clear with tropics is that he listens to a lot of dance music and he cares about production values. the synth and beat programming is as competent as anything out there, and he avoids lazy indie stylings and one button bontempi organ beats – his are crafted songs, much of the pleasure lying in his gift for dynamic arrangement, which is a joy amid rafts of useful formulaically assembled house tracks.
in common with the general post-financial collapse vibe there is less sunshine in this ep than before, and he has absorbed something from a year of intensive house music listening, but chris essential qualities remain a forward-looking wistfulness, hope beneath melancholy, something even more acutely needed now than before. oh look! here comes winter.

*sundog* by french producer johannes regnier was a massive but bloody underrated track this summer - when i heard it recently at the innervisions-party on the berghain-floor i felt confirmed about this dudes big potential. meanwhile he moved from paris to berlin and his first studio in town was located in a street called wiesenweg. there johannes met alexander antonakis, an excellent and well known dj from frankfurt for some sessions - the result you can hear on this *wiesenweg ep*.

quality limited reissue of this classic lp from californian singer/songwriter, ned doheny. though beloved of the recent balearic scene with fans including harvey, lexx, moonboots et al, ned was under-appreciated during his own era with this superlative lp only ever securing a vinyl release in japan, making it a seriously hard to get hold of album but definitely worth the effort. following on from his iconic hard candy lp, 1979 s prone is again bursting with californian sun-soaked gems showcasing doheny s signature laidback funky musical style and relaxed unpolished vocals. from quality soulful groovers such as think like a lover and if you only knew through to the sophisticated disco sounds of sweet friction and funky love , there s not a filler in sight but the icing on this tasty west coast cake has got to be dj s favourite - the great jazz-funk floor-filler to prove my love . an essential album - don t miss!

there has been much speculation about the significance of the mayan system of timekeeping. many researchers on the subject have verified that the mayan long count calendar, which is only one of several advanced timekeeping tools devised by the mayan people, comes to an end on december 21, 2012, with no real clear explanation as to what exactly that signifies. this musical offering is not meant to speculate on the meaning of this date. instead, it serves as a tribute to one of the most astronomically, mathematically and architecturally advanced civilizations in the history of planet earth. each track is a tribute to one of the many mayan spiritual sites known to date.

four releases in now and the quality continues on midnight love club! montel presents the forth release in the shape of 3 heavy duty club cuts with a rather distinct nod to the house sound of 90s nyc/nj. there s not too much info on this montel character, but one thing we do know is that he s a man with a penchant for vintage house & garage. a dj, collector and producer that has decided to give back a little after all these years. and these years of experience are certainly evident in his authentic house and garage sound that has already picked up a fan base that includes bicep, jordan peak and waze & odyssey!

every once in a while, there comes an artist who taps into the zeitgeist of music while injecting a lethal dose of individuality at the same time. glenn astros brand of 80s-and-90s-inspired house and hip hop contains an organic glow, a glorious shuffle, which sets the essen-based producer aside from his contemporaries. with releases on big bait, odd socks and ritmo sportivo, glenn has made fans of the likes of move d, dj ez, casino times and medlar, whose killer remix features on this release alongside a dark stomper from deft.

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.

sino is proud to present delaze . delaze is a multi faceted music producer. coming from a culturally diverse and deeply rooted music family, becoming a music producer of varied taste was an inevitable path. his father was a well known radio host in the city of brasilia back in the 80s. it was there where delaze discovered his love for music. being surrounded by his dads massive vinyl collection enabled delaze to appreciate the classics. for his first ep, sino selected three tracks. bloody samba as the title suggest is inspired by the heat of brazilian carnaval. aint hot is deep and funky oscillating between techno and house. discoordination goes disco.

like the satisfying first sip of soda water spritz, roland tings debut ep, *milky way*, bubbles, barms, and beads through your body. roland tings is rohan newman, a melbourne producer who, like recent rubies holy balm, forces, and canyons, proves there is just more and more greatness behind the great and powerful oz. melodic acid trips doused with swish-ticky-booms, like a rubber ball in space with endless bump and bounce. sweet off his japanese jaunt, speeding things down with sapphire slows shows, newmans taste is pure effervescence and buoyancy. but he has got a percussive stickiness as well, a vim/vigor that raps and rips through trax touch-ups and echo-plexes. not the nineties but the none-ties – no glimmer glam, or sampladelic vocal vacations, or happy house heartbeats. he ends the creamy *milky way* with a brilliantly wonky theme that springs like a wind-up toy gone loose. roland tings, dings, and zings.

there it is, keinemusik number seventeen. we know what you are thinking. you think you know how it works. you think, those keinemusik fellas will again be doing their little rotation thing, one producer getting a record out after the other, then a workparty-joint venture at some point and then it starts all over again. au contraire! this seventeenth edition is breaking the known beautiful, perfectly curled cycle. just like that, so that no one gets bored. this record here is an appetizer for a collaboration-effort between rampa, &me and nomi, the new york based singer that provided the recent movement of flamboyant disco-queerness with its sexiest and catchiest hooks, teaming up with hercules & love affair and doing her own project jessica 6. side b will take care of everyone who is expecting a safe playing house-rehash of the afore mentioned acts and tenderly let a lashing snare slap every preconception out of sceptic faces.

danny wolfers wears many hats: jackmaster corky, trackman lafonte & bonquiqui, legowelt... nacho patrol is dannys travels towards african space travel. where earlier nacho patrol records spent time exploring cosmic ethiopia, this current incarnation adds a more sci-fi element to the mix, taking influences from chicago house to sun city girls, this is purely original sounds from one of the best producers out there.

this is the second vinyl in jerome sydenhams 3 part animal social club vinyl series. what you hear is not really the rainforest, or the wilderness. dont let yourears and eyes fool you. the primal edge, that instinctdriven music, raw and inviting, signals another meeting of the pack. and every time the wild ones get together, the quality of the sound is unmistakable. breathe, dance, listen, drink your fill, take it all in: this is an environment where there are no inhibitions and spontaneity is everywhere, in everything. a place where house and techno are the heartbeat. this is the primal universe of the animal social club.

again two very talented new faces on dirt crew and a beauty of a record!

as the rumors tell, this obscure piece of music was arranged by three acquaintances, who, by mere coincidence, formed a spontaneous, poly-toxic think tank one marvellous sunday morning, celebrating the beauty of old house music, while at the same time mocking the somehow cheap and predictable functionality of the four to the floor sound design. to honor the inspirational value of situations like these, the decision was made to share the result with a bigger audience. as a meta text, the lyrics form a tongue in cheek comment on nostalgic good old days aesthetics, and are simultaneously, and quite paradoxically, reminiscent of the utopian and transgressive vision of early house and techno music. if there is anything that we can retrieve from this vision today, it is the encouragement to create funny, pleasant and playful situations for ourselves and the like-minded, escaping the seriousness and boredom of the professionalized party and music business. and this is exactly the spirit, which is materialized on this piece of wax.

over the last year i have traveled to canada frequently for gigs and got to know the small but healthy electronic music scene there. cities like montreal, vancouver and toronto have brought forth many established artists over the past few years, such as egyptrixx, azari & iii, basic soul unit, jacques greene, lunice and sixtoo, but 2012 has seen a new breed of no-nonsense house and techno producers come up via labels like turbo recordings and naked lunch. this *dovercourt ep* features three very talented producers: kevin mcphee, nautiluss and gingy. their tracks are a dedication to their hometown of toronto. being removed from the house/techno epicentres of berlin and london, these three are much less interested in what is fashionable or trendy, and more in bringing us straight to the point, no frails jacking house music. i have been playing these three extensively in my dj sets, and i hope you will too. so out to toronto, this one is for you! enjoy. martyn

slightly off the normal wph track (is there such a track?) this is pure dancefloor madness for any dj playing house, minimal, techno or any other kind of nonsensical sub-genre name

ritons >lost my mind< ep sees the former boy wonder of techno release his first original material in over 12 months. needless to say, a lot happened during this period, and arriving at this point was not easy. but like all good stories of loss and redemption, there will always be a moment where the protagonist must look back in order to go forward, a return to form in order to pave the way to the future. this ep, released january 2013 on ed banger records, signifies this moment both musically and creatively. combining techno, house music, hip hop and electro >lost my mind< ep kick-starts with the festival pumping techno track >bang your head<.
digital download code included.

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

this sound will definitely clear your mind and thats a promise! with great pleasure brouqade proudly presents dragosh, a highly talented young producer from rumania. his ep, five is uncompromisingly devoted to his obsession with snare and bass descending into the depths, there, where the beat sharpens the senses. vocals whisper unexpected secrets. dragoshs molecular, crystal clear sound beams directly onto the dancefloors. no detours.
