official release of the previously unreleased album of the famous 12inch classic. asso the alter ego of italian producer victorio pezzolla is something like a italo disco one hit wonder. the do it again / dont stop 12inch has original been released in 1983 and is meanwhile one of the most sought after 12inch releases from italy. unfortunately the related album hasent been brought to the market back in the 80s. victorio pezzolla and private records rediscovered the original analog master tape some months ago in an archive of an italian publisher.the absurdity that the music has never been commercially released leads to the fact that this masterpiece, a complete unreleased original 80s album, will be brought to you fresh and unspent in 2012. italo disco, space funk and balearic grooves are combining to an unique italo disco release.limited to 300 copies

south london ordnance will return with an ep of dense house/techno mutations on september 24. the big boss theme ep contains three tracks on vinyl with an additional two digital-only cuts. stream the relentless ep below.slo recently told fact that >everything is shapes and textures for me, regardless of what it is, whether its marks on a piece of paper or stuff in the interface on logic<. this visual approach to music comes through on his space-conscious constructions. the immersive compositions share a intensity that sets the newcomer apart from his peers: the tracks are persistent but never exhausting. previously released >transmission funk< and >trojan< hum with industrial precision and dancefloor ecstasy, respectively.

the black madonna hits home taping hard with her first release on the label >alright this morning<. coming from the middle of nowhere, but now based in the attic of a house in chicago that used to be the home of over 50 dance labels, she likes her music to do the talking and admires the anonymity and musical militancy of acts like underground resistance. having being brought up working in the music industry as an apprentice doing this, that and everything and helping to run labels, she actually refused to let anyone hear her work for years with masters gathering dust and never seeing the light of day. until now when, after the encouragement of a producer friend to get her stuff out there and a chance find by home taping of a few tracks online one day, she has now found a place where she feels at home. the first of a string of releases on home taping sees the jubilant and heavily chicago-influenced >alright this morning< released along with a remix by one of her favourite new producers, nicholas from italy. the rest is history and up to you ...

two of the uks most formidable names in techno step into the ring for a head to head on theory. stephen brown is a man who certainly needs no introduction, and his knack of channeling the best of detroit innovation and adding his own distinct flavours shows no sign of letting up. on >fuego< and >polar< brown takes us further into the jacking zone, his signature lush melodies driving up the rear until they envelope the tracks in a haze of deep and emotive vibrations, but never letting up on the tough rhythms. ben sims is drafted in to remix both tracks, leaving slicing shards of sound and roughing up the beat on his remix of >polar<, before delving into a hard-funk take of >fuego<. big business from two keepers of the true techno flame.

vinyl only release !! limited to 300 copies... after the previous four compilation releases, merkurs founder shingo suwa now announces his own ep. as first track never leave me / original mix is a smooth house track, which combines synthetic riffs and chords with a solid bass line. hm dub is a remix by house mannequin, this remix contains some of the vintage chicago style beat, including filtered pads with dubbed samples. it is an incessant groove of a mellow and simple dub edit. side b inhaled deeply / original is a profound production by shingo, created with a deep and raw groove. wild rhythms assist the techno flavor here as well. sei katsu acid mix was created by the mysterious newcomer sei katsu from miyazaki. this remix is a repetitive trip through hypnotic, sweeping synthesized lines and tricky drumming. its kind of a dj tool that is functional on the dance floor

hinter dem namen superheavy verbergen sich fünf superschwergewichte der musikwelt: mick jagger hat sich mit eurythmics-mastermind dave stewart, der britischen soul-senkrechtstarterin joss stone, dem indischen oscar-gewinner und soundtrack-komponisten a.r. rahman (slumdog millionaire) und mit reggae-superstar damian marley zusammengetan und so ein neues bandprojekt auf die beine gestellt.

the layabouts are anything but. 2012 marks leigh darlow and alex paschalis 10th year together and they have never been so in form or demand. their cast iron reputation for quality deep soulful house – house music forged with feeling and real purpose – continues, impressively, to grow.
rhythm master darlow and guitarist cum orchestrator paschali first met in 2001– in home city london – off the back of various projects in the same studio space. in time, their mutual love of expressive house music would lead to cult licks feelin right and the way i feel, sizzling material for kenny dope gonzalez and hot-to-trot remixes of dj spinna, da lata, dj spen and robert owens, and soulsearcher.

praterei returns with their 5th instalment and so do those twins with their second successive offering to the vienna stable! the ingredients on this one are similar to the last but the result is no less stirring. the rough and ready side of the 12 belongs to the aptly entitled >house< and youll see why. never straying too far from the old school... shuffling beats and rims keep things swinging. each layer of the melody is deep in youll be whistling this later territory and intermittent vocal shouts remind us exactly what it is we are listening to. the flip beckons for you to walk with me and that you must. the beat saunters along but always with a sanguine skip and our seductive protagonist guides us through the warm textures of rich pads and stabs. this is one of those records where, for both tracks, the message could not be more perfectly translated. every aspect contributes to a common goal, and thats a rare and quite special thing.

dikso drop another superb addition to their much-loved super sound single series with tracks from shur-i-kan, larse, daniel solar and satin jackets.

a best off all new things on the everpopular phobiq imprint by sasha carassi. the mechanized warfare of void opens up the release, with industrial snares taking front and center. meanwhile, the steamrolling groove never lets up and bleeding stabs lead the way to a subliminal riff that grows and mutates.the original mix of z-nasti makes strong use of ghostly chords while sonars fire away over tightly programmed drums.

foam fangs could be a term used to describe silks preferred take on that too-easily dismissed 70s dancefloor dementia of disco – the soft bite, love nibble, mirrorball on steady/ready perma-revolve. jesse reiner (jonas reinhardts first mister, alongside past/part-time collaborators like phil manley of trans am and damon palermo of mi ami/magic touch), who never quite had the kranky krinkle of his ohm-ambient labelmates, travels head-on, tomorrowland-style, through long-form cosmic moroder constellations of >foam fangs<. nothing frothy about it, though there is a bit of the rubbery in reiner’s bounce-about, cool, funky kraut-disco. suddenly we are beaming back to a time when the world looked forward, envisioning a 21st century decked with silver, chrome, and neoprene. it is a sonic space both transparent and shiny, the metallic ding and cold ribbon of data, scrolling through infinite space. the opener, >foam fangs<, transports us instantly into an ever-expanding universe of sound and light at once fanning out and folding in on itself. variations on that theme continue as the jonas journey oscillates through the beat-beyond.

half of a decade in the big and fast-moving club circus is a reason enough to celebrate his own birthday properly! and this jubilee commits blackfoxmusic with a luxuriant present in form of a double vinyl label compilation. the contributions come from founding artists, long-standing companions and totally new faces. two vinyls, packed in a full-coloured, noble folding cover. ready for the next five years? and never forget: vinyl is for lovers!

micatone come off with a true masterpiece of sophisticated pop with their new and fifth album >wish i was here< (released in march 2012). not only the music press and feuilletons but also old devoted and newly found fans agree: micatone never sounded better before. the second offspring off the album is a 2-tracker with two very special remixes. label mate stee downes takes on >sweet pain< as if it was his own track and kicks out a vivacious deep house stormer. there is no doubt that this remix will be in every bag of those djs that put some more emotions on the floor. the second remix was orderd in italy - in bologna to be exact. keemani and alex ferratti just started their new project blue mondays and now – with their rework of >just a boy< – promisingly launch their career to become the next in-demand remixers. they dont just lay a vocal track over a pre-programed beat, but use all of their devotion, accuracy and finesse to turn an already astonishing pop song into an anthem for everlasting nights. it is like preparing the perfect sugo: simmer exquisite ingedients for days until your mouth is watering. perfetto!

almost 25 years have past since his first release, yet >the true story of house music< is the first time elbee bads catalog gets compiled for re-release. although the best and most prolific part of his catalog is his late 80s and early 90s output, booker never stopped producing (and djing). he is currently residing in berlin, from which he still manages his studio and travels throughout europe to dj.
prior to the compilation we release a vinyl only sampler which features two exclusive and previously unreleased mixes of two tracks which are to be found on his only solo nu groove ep, from which we took the title of this compilation.
this is another winner from the true history of house music.

the story begins somewhere far away from awareness and rational thought. our main characters plays the roles of lost but not aimless arrows of pictures. pictures made out of sub atomic movements, amplified through breathable air and finally fragmenting its energy into space. we see the the sun go down in the ocean, the purple and red colors and finally the majestic sight of whales plowing the water in the horizon. it has been many years, in fact, so many years that we are now back again to the same point time. it is like an infinite loop, never loosing pace and determination.

a label that prides itself on picking up new talent and letting them shine, electronique digital has made quite a name for itself in a short space of time. the manchester-based label has already been home to one of the years big anthems with finnebassens huge >if you only knew<. but it is not just about anthems and big tunes, there is also a focus on the deeper end of house music whilst retaining labels commitment to disco and summer vibes in every release. in other words, though they specialise in deep house, but it is never too serious or morose.
early dj support from: maceo plex, noir, andre crom, waifs & strays, wildkats, the mekansim, tom budden, giom, seth troxler, maxxi soundsystem, flashmob, miguel puente, cera alba, downtown party network, lula circus, amine edge, maher daniel, jay west & many more!

two tracks by carol williams which have never been released before.

sex tags mania warehouse find! this might not be one of those popular ware house finds you run into these days, but still, from a storage of a friend of a friend this got dug out. almost brand new but never sold in any amount - a german-french(?) 12 as great as the summer. straight to the b, you know that track you hear, not on any given sunday, but only the exeptionally good ones, the track that sonically floats around, though maybe being to euphoric, still gathers everybody in the area to some sort of silent agreement of peace. usually these musical pieces are found as single items on flee markets if you re a proper digger or have straight out beginners luck. maybe the world has turned up side down, because this beauty has german lyrics (with an instrumental following).

sarrass returns with a new single taken from his forthcoming album, dirty gear. the a side is the spacefunk remix, by sarras, of a new day, a slo-mo fantasy of the original. this is such a feel-good track. the b side is the full length original mix only available on this single. an edit of the original version will appear on the album. classic sarras trademarks dirty and shiny all at the same time, brilliant tension building, never ends up where you think it will.

the remix combines grimey synths with a jungle bassline, never losing touch to the atmosphere and the awesome vocals of the original. amazing epic vibes!

kill for love, chromatics first album since night drive, finally gives this loosely associated, prematurely decayed musical aesthetic its magnum opus and brilliantly transcends it.

the bolognese disco don riccio returns on bosconi extra virgin with strong houseyoriented 4 tracker vinyl with a stunning dj sneak remix! still embedded in obscure disco and soul sampling, riccio is always keeping his distinguable touch dense of inspiration and love for the original american deep house rooted sound. about the beautiness of the tracks we can say that come back is a loopy and techy disco banger in the vein of ugly edits and soundstream, while son of love and undercover are two swinging and sweet deep house moments like we never heard rom riccio before. the release includes a pumping filtered reinterpretation of come back by the almighty dj sneak!

never shy of bringing new flavours to the table, once again it is time for tectonic to introduce a new artist to their increasingly eclectic roster. born and raised in london, jay fontaine aka decibel later hopped over to newcastle for a few years and now can be found based in belfast. already this exciting producer is tickling a wide range of interested heads, with dj and radio support coming in strong from the likes of sinden, mistajam, benji b, doorly and toddla t as well as mj cole, drop the lime and many more.. get involved!

the music of portable is truly unique. habitually perlons in-house singer and also the man that is bodycode, alan abrahams is capable of evoking the spirits of traditional deep house songs - yes, you read right: songs - without getting lost in nostalgia, manufacturing boring carbon copies or a longing for a past that never was. his first visit to ramonas little outlet is all that: haunting, melancholic yet optimistic, as deep as it is driving and most of all mesmerising. >a process< features all his great sound signature moves, comes with an acappella for brave djs and a serious flutramental on top of it all for the faint at heart. creation might be a painful process, but surely a rewarding one for portable. ramona is in love.

after releases on hypercolour and its digital off shoot, tom demac now makes the step up to the glass table imprint with a far ranging three track ep that is arguably his finest to date. never one to fall into the usual tried and tested traps, demacs sound is as idiosyncratic as the man who makes it, drawing on myriad influences and getting the best out of his fine collection of studio of gear.

mark henning is back! back on cityfox! a classic acapella and marks distinctive sound collide, result-ing in a huge tune, sounding old school and fresh at the same time. not just the vocals are telling a story here, the synths and bassline add their part to complete the track. the second original trojan is the secret weapon and club bomb, the dark side of the release, because too much sunshine is never healthy. afrilounge take it a step deeper and its big string melody sounds as clean as and sparkles like the sunrise itself. the 1998 edit incorperates the rhythms and vibes of classic house and techno from the era when it all began. thick, groovy basslines and pulsing pads laid out over infectious percussion make this track an instant classic.

in 2011 it got a little quiet around the co-productions of fraenzen texas and ruede hagelstein aka the cheapers. but since the beginning of the new year the lights dont go out in their studio doing beats and sound. next to releases on areal records and bar25 the uy063 was born. title of the name giving a-side goes back on a quote from paris hilton who wants to tell with >amazeballs< how super cool she finds things. anyway the two artists made it real with their concise bassline which will make the people reliably squeak more than hobby djane hilton. on the b-side things turn a bit more severe: egyptian summer quotes with samples the arabic spring in africa and produces a revolutionary ground mood which has never been heard before. on b2 however there are the cheaperesque absurdities on the microfon like we know them. depositing skillfully their own vocals in the belly of a hungry electro monster.

2016 repress.... two stalwarts of amsterdams techno & house underground scene. julien chaptal and david labeij, decided to link arms at the beginning of 2012 with the creation of their vinyl only label, mfd.aiming to bring their blend of electronica back to a stripped-down, powerful, and hypnotic groove. mfds back-to-basics approach was born out of the infallible conviction that dance music in its purest form can effectively reduce ones insides to a bundle of raw nerves, and induce a state of pure bliss. wether it be hypnotic, gritty or intense electronic music, the label focuses on explicit quality, keeping egos in check, and never allowing them to get in the way of a good time.

ok, we know what youre problem thinking…not another marvin edit! but hold your thoughts, this is something extraordinary and one of the best arranged and produced (not edited) tracks weve ever put out on gamm (no joke). with extra added keys and various production elements this is a 10 min and 52 seconds long boogie monster that will take you on an emotional ride youll never forget. yes, its that hot! but the flip isnt bad either with the revivra crew going uptempo with a super rework or remix (your choice) of crown heights affairs all-time ballroom classic. just like with the marvin track theyve turned the track inside out to an almost 10 min long disco cavalcade. the weekend starts and ends with this fantastic ep
