time to express welcomes back dario zenker for his second release on the label. after 2010s euphoric >insirer< dario increases the tension with >cat stance<. label owner peter van hoesen provides a rolling remix.
the modus operandi of awkward movements has been defined by quality of electronic music coming forth rather than a set look based on tempo range or sound. this has recently resulted in 12s from some of the undergrounds finest producers including nkc, chairman kato and daojia, pairing them with an eclectic group of remixers such as andres, scan 7, maddslinky and ekoplekz. awkward movements came together under keith p in 2009, and has since extended in to an ever-growing family of players, now including one of our londons top talents in the form of dont be afraid boss semtek.
limited edition, handstamped, no repress.

12 Inch 19.06.12
following last years acclaimed curse of soft rocks album, were invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. each track is wildly re-contextualized leaving us with a beautifully obtuse yet complimentary rendering. personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of soft rocks, and furthermore the esp institute. at the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen. on this 12inch (the second of 3 surrounding the revenge of soft rocks remix album) esp mainstays cos/mes deliver a deep and sensual yet sinister take on little lights, and side b reveals an upbeat dubbed out version of wicker man by zurichs own lexx (running back, permanent vacation, leng) good lord this is quite a piece of wax!
on their fifth release, back to you goes digging around through analogue sounds and comes back with ample dirt beneath its fingers. this is dusty house that could have originated at any point along the us/european axis as it crosses the atlantic.

12 Inch 14.06.12
hauschkas first releases of 2012 come in the form of two stunning remix 12 inches that are pitched at the dancefloor and kick off a wider project of reinterpretations of his last full-length. here, ep1 sees two serious heavyweights of minimal techno delivering very different, yet complentary versions. this 12 inch is the first of two vinyl-only eps, running in advance of a full album of electronically-angled remixes of >salon des amateurs<.
we are proud to release the second ep from the new fluxion album on echocord. this work is about his travels in music. the sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the music influences deriving from them. through his prism those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take. fluxion captured the motion in his travels with a different feeling each time. >eruption< is maybe the most powerfull deep dubby track from the traces album, perfect for the dancefloor. >motion 3< and >motion 2< are beautifull floating dubby tracks. finally morphosis did a remix of >eruption<, pure killer madness for the dancefloor. after a decade in the field of dub, techno, ambient, fluxion opens the horizon with music that cannot fall under one specific territory.
on her first ep, a.n.i.c.e. composed a track which is deep and full of emotions. >wait for me< is the official wake-up call for all the daydreamers and dally fairies. its marvelous vocals capture the listeners attention. dj le rois remix is more the four to the floor part of this ep. because of the driving bassline not even the last foot will stand still. >the dawn< is boosted by percussion elements and vocals that can only be sung by fairies underline this emotional track.

deep house mestro nacho marco joins forces with sais and fabiani and together they are dropping a balearic house stormer (with a certain jan hammer influence). although they keep the things simple the track relentlessly grows during its whole length to full effect. ooft! is on the remix duties. he speeds up the track, so the purist can call it house without suffering, and he does a great job while doing it, taking the whole thing into deeper territories.

he turns the original into a bigger festivalsummerdancefloorrave anthem without loosing the original feeling. the second remix by daniel rajkovic goes more into depth with a monster hypnotic bassline. and as we already said, words are all in vain, so have a listen and satisfy yourself … cheers from the rabbit hole ,)
following the jordan peak ep there is more pumping action on morris audio with its 80th release! young french producer julien sandre makes his full release debut on morris audio – great beats and sexy basslines are the key elements of the hypnotic js sound. and the remix of nico lahs (ovum, pokerflat) reminds us of some of these old killer svek releases. yeah, music wont stop!

mercury are on fire. already they are called the new swiss house mafia, with their brothers from round table knights (on made to play) they are working on a new, funky, heavy energetic kind of house music. here is mercurys third single on gomma. three deep jams. deeper then the last single. paris house 1998, and gospel percussion from the 20th century, if you know what we mean
next up on good ratio music is baldo, an artist who spent the past few months working in the back of this label getting prepared to release the third chapter in his own imprint. spies & lies is the name of his work which follows some brilliant remixes and tracks he did lately in labels like stranjjur and elevation recordings. as the story goes on after the great result of the tom ellis release, we wanted to give a different dimension to the label to bring it back into a more classical sound.
full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.
formed somewhere in the 5th dimension, acid mondays is the cosmic coalition of fellow psychonauts negghead and lex wolf. brought together by their love for fat beats, inter dimensional travel & cups of tea, they are on a never-ending journey exploring inner and outer space. expect altered states of hallucinogenic house and reality bending techno. it would be a cliché to say they have a great future, but they’ve been there and beyond and have returned to the now to do it all again…
marius bubat and georg conrad aka coma combine pop and house, techno and indie rock with an eclectic approach, creating highly recognizable music with an emotional impact. even though emerging just a short time ago, coma have already seen their share of travelling, with a recent appearance at sxsw 2012 and even a journey to vietnam. it was there the boys teamed up with norwegian dj charlotte bendiks, as they fought their way through the chaos of hanois traffic.
perlon artist dandy jack slips the hounds with his brilliant >hamlet machine< a devastating powerful tune showing his ability of mixing styles between old school techno and avant-garde electronic music. he clearly demonstrates to us his unique approach of choosing the right sounds and the right groove at the right moment. he always opens new paths to the music ...
label chief master-h stepping up and not for the first time, raising an already high bar, once again skyward. >stabs call< sees h team up with the wonderfully talented saxophonist, geoffrey secco. not only does geoffrey play regularly with the legendary tito puente, but he has now joined h is their own band ... more on that, very soon

alden tyrell hooked up with mike dunn for some new work!. a golden combination which already worked out great as we learned from the heavy remix tyrell did for the murphy jax & mike dunn collaboration (its the music - cat# cjfd06). tyrell always jamming and playing around with his synths had some tracks inspired by early mike dunn songs. so the obvious happened ... the hooked up for some appropiate vocals and here it is ... touch the sky! a peak time acid monster with mikes vocal chant in the style of his classic md3 projects. gerd is on remix duty here and delivers a killer remix with a more traditional chicago groove and build up. clone head honcho serge had some studio time with tyrell for a dub mix. the serge & tyrell dub mix turned out a bit wild and became a classic piece of piano and dx bass driven chicago house music with stuttering vocal samples and a acidic synth line. another strong clone jack for daze!

bokhari records is a vinyl only label. bokhari has been inspired by mo wax of old, and firecracker of present where care was/is also taken on packaging and design. each release will feature a different illustrator / artist for the design. musically we will aim to stick loosely within the realms of house and techno, but often with our own slant on it, and as the first release shows, in this case will include some afro percussion and a touch of acid. bokhari 001 only 300 copies will be pressed. artwork for release 001 is by the excellent illustrator andy potts (former head of design at abbey road studios), and every single vinyl will be signed and numbered. remix comes from the ever consistent mark e, who has taken the shrunken head bassline and made a 10 minute druggy, chuggy, loopy, creepy monster (and anything else you want with a ‘y’ at the end!)
bodi bill - what remixes (apparat & thomalla) in 2011, there was no way to get around bodi bill - and it will continue in 2012. right on time for summer, the band releases two exciting remixes of their hit-single what on their own label krakatau. luminary apparat and young talent thomalla have chosen the smoothest and breeziest track of the album to rework it with verve and experimentiveness. the tracks differ considerably, and yet there are parallels between both artists: they share a vision, an affinity for progressiveness and audible enthusiasm in each track. apparat - who released his very successful album the devils walk in 2011 - breathes autumnal coolness and depth into this summery number.the result is thrilling, unexpected and spine-tingling. thomalla also rejects construction kit primetime-techno and shows his remarkable talent in two very unlike versions of what. with his overwhelming desire to experiment and discover, he created tracks to dance to, that move beyond the typical minimum radius. this record gathers pop and electronic avant-garde: the record-label and artists wanted to fathom the boundaries of rhythmics and harmony - and they clearly succeeded. here, two exceptional musicians show their vision of electronic dance music, enthralling, fascinating and exciting!
ltd 2012 repress !! after two and a half years of waiting, marc romboy and stephan bodzin finally return with their ninth single collaboration, >triton<!!! yet another wonderfully unique piece of music, >triton< is the lead single from their debut album >luna< which is set for release on triple cd and six vinyl record set in february 2011.

THE BEAT JUST GOES STRAIGHT ON AND ON (TOBI NEUMANN & MATTHEW STYLES REMIX)
12 Inch 31.05.12
2012 - we are milleniumized neo, more than ever before. 1993, when techno was all over the place, german experts tommi eckart (at that time not 2raumwohnung yet) and ralf hertwig (at that time not palais schaumburg anymore) released a track, which found its way out there as a legendary underground-club classic in germany,england, benelux and france: the beat just goes straight on and on. its been sold out for years, but djs still play it in the clubs and it never lost its beat. now in 2012, almost 20 years later, the vinyl reissue being released, including the original cut and a remix by matthew styles & tobi neumann. it just goes on and on, enjoy!

pressed on 180gr vinyl... phonica records inaugurate a new series of releases that will fall under the special editions banner. a series that will feature collaborations, one-off releases and anything that doesnt fit into the main labels outlook. the first release comes from sinkane, a hotly tipped new artist from ny. sinkane is the project of sudanese-born musician ahmed gallab. gallab cut his own teeth as a youngster in the punk diy landscape of middle america, and then found himself touring far and wide as a member of yeasayer, caribou, eleanor friedberger, born ruffians, and of montreal. he has emerged from it all as sinkane, a project that identifies a renaissance within the space and spirit of the outposts of contemporary music. with an aesthetic range seamlessly shifting from soul to rock, and from jazz to pop, sinkanes vibe is timeless and the sound is now. runnin is a song taken from a collection of songs simply titled mars. on this limited edition 12 from londons phonica records, the album version of runnin is re-imagined as an increasingly dense longburn club jam by daphni (dan snaith of caribou fame) and as a more angular headjam by chandeliers of chicago
flight facilities are first up with their personal extended mix, germanys david august, the 20 year wiz kid whos just be inducted into cult hamburg label diynamic, enters with a pitch shifted druggy flip on the original. danny daze is the man behind the huuuge hot creation anthem -your everything- and has gone crazy with his glitched out aphex twin-esk 5am mix while uk duo mam (matt hughes and miguel campbell) bring it back with a chunky bass and rhodes summer anthem.
super limited 12 from rob mellos no ears outlet. we literally only have a handful of these. reminiscent of classic landshark jams, this punchy 808 led, quirky vocal house workout has all the trademark no ears elements.
nastic aka marco nastic has been around the scene for over a decade and for this soweso release this internationally acclaimed dj teams up with dutch underground newcomer rik woldring. on the a side they bring you our love, a driving melodic techhouse track with a warm, sexy and dreamy vibe to it. a2, just us takes it a little deeper. this detroit influenced track is a perfect track for late in the morning. flowy, deep, but with a solid low end are the key words to describe this gem. on the flipside this package also features two remixes by mike shannon and upcoming dutch artist prunk. hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
