walking through the sky, five years ago christian naujoks, peter m. kersten and richard von der schulenburg started a series of spontaneous recording sessions without any intention or idea. the only thing what held the group together were the immediate results hitting the three musicians straight inside their hearts. jazz as a metaphor of instrumental conversation, improvisation in the most dillettant way, science as a matter of exploring the opposite sound of what instruments were built to, these might be parts of a concept where there was none.

we are happy to announce that we are back with our 4th sol asylum instalment >let it go< this time from label founder julie marghilano. the creation process was an inner journey to find once again her creative spirit and just let it go. the final result is a three-track ep created with live-recorded instrumentation and features vocals by the talented jazz singer ilhem khodja.

*head off, heart on* is next to go. this ep of our artist juzz contains two brand new tunes, both revealing in depth sight on the producers perception. *i felt a deep urge to get rid of all my conceptual influences regarding the way of creating my music. almost like a purifying force that guided me back to the roots of expressing my emotions through music- says the long time producer and dj. constantly being surrounded by music got me more and more into a repetitive workflow. remembering the freedom and innocence of my first attempts in the studio led to this sole conclusion: turn your head off and your heart on.* and the result speaks for itself: highly emotional music wrapped in functional arrangements, aiming to move your soul. accompanied by two astonishing remixes from markus homm and dreksler & haerle, who both got only one demand: head off, heart on.

we are serious about our music here at future reactions. you can tell that from our first vinyl release, the depth sifters ep. featuring cult producer rick wade, detroit veteran norm talley, up-and-coming newcomer cris j and the talent that is satore, we think it is quite an introduction.

the man behind the end of level boss label, cyclonix, delivers 2 club tracks just the way we like them. already tried and tested in the clubs by our man cottam, who fell in love with the tracks on first listen. they demand to be played in the early hours of the morning in dark basements from nottingham to leyland and beyond. label boss cottam takes over the b side with a leisurely walk back from the supermarket taking the scenic route for no apparent reason.

over the course of his twenty-plus-year-long career, luke solomon has made one hell of a name for himself: he has released dozens of singles and eps on labels like crosstown rebels, rekids, cajual, and playhouse, to name a few, founded his own imprint, classic, with longtime friend and co-conspirator, derrick carter, dropped four albums, and had a hand in well over 100 remixes. as one might expect, it is a tremendous honor to now welcome the veteran dj and producer to lph, where we think he fits in perfectly, despite being the artist in our ranks with the most impressive tenure.

we are proud to introduce you our release number six, this is our first various artists featuring the cream of the crop in the spanish techno scene. chords are the main component in this four tracks, deep techno is the style and the makers are architectural, uncut, eduardo de la calle and the transhumans.

we are happy to have our longtime friend ian pooley back on the label. we might have stolen this release from pooled music but we couldnt resist to have it on innervisions. fresh sounding house music by an old school producer!

hailing from chicagos south side, the duo dar embarks lives in a world of underground techno and machines. their debut album, fleer ep, was recorded live on hardwares, no keys were played, just the pressing of buttons and turning of knobs. gathering its inspiration from records on the shelf, sci fi and comics, dar embarks remains steadfast in technotic efforts to interpret the future - our future.

verona based producer and dj luca ballerini is our latest discovery and a perfect proof that cocoon recordings is still looking for new kids on the block and gives them the chance to step into the arena. although we have to admit that luca ballerini is not a complete rookie anymore. after his debut on siena recordings in 2010, ballerini founded his own plattforms and released several productions on musical metaphor and wax jam.

riccardo sabatini is now our regular material/materialism artist. nothing but love for the magnificent techouse stomper release. funky vocals and sexy baselines. hot!

he always dreamt about releasing this ep in our label. since we discover it, it has been heavy played in each slow town party. qx1 is in the town with an outstanding ep from 1992. one qx1 track with 3 different mike dunn edits. just rad. say you love me has been carefully remastered to reach the sound it deserve. enjoy the ride and say you love me!

we hope you will permit us the indulgence of deviating slightly from our globe trotting explorations on this release as we pay homage to the sun. highlife on holiday, if you will. stepping away from the edits, auntie flo delivers a new original track. sun ritual ii takes things up a notch from its earlier counterpart (released on kompakt), banging dare-we-say-it berghain techno gives way to warm synth-laden euphoria. on the flip, miajica, one third of alma negra who you may recall from highlife2. here he serves up a delightfully familiar summer treat, the original being an end of the night, highlife highlight, particularly at our annual tribute to the sun event. we are sure you will agree that both sides are rock solid and primed for the summer!

as we hurtle towards our 200th freerange release the quality output youve come to expect from freerange shows no sign of faltering with bas amro bringing you an absolutely stellar ep entitled you and me

skylax welcomes f.t.g., known to house music scholars as freddy the groove, and his many friends for our next release in 2014. last year, f.t.g. and his italian partner in crime, marco riff (who also appears on this very record), pressed a very limited run of a single-sided, special throwback tribute to late 80s chicago house music. the track was aptly named ‘tribute ’89’, and it put a more dancefloor oriented twist on a track by a certain originator with the initials r.h. needless to say, it became highly sought-after incredibly quickly and fuel was further added to the fire by the repeated club play by none other than the dj idol ricardo villalobos. luckily for our followers, that original mix appears on this ep with another unreleased mix of the track and 2 originals featuring belfie and alex tea alongside f.t.g.with enough said about ‘tribute ‘89’ itself, the unreleased mix maintains the warehouse vibe with a heavy kick and bouncing bass pattern but takes it to another level with the introduction of rolling vocal cuts and a rather ravey synth line. flipping over the to b-side, we are treated with two tracks by f.t.g. and alex tea, named ‘public enemy’ and ‘bango’, with the former also seeing belfie lend a helping hand in the production. both of these originals round out the record nicely and cement it as another skylax release that is definitely not to be missed

javier & luis garayalde aka kyodai are back on local talk with their third release since the debut *breaking* back in 2012. as always we are thrilled to present new tracks from the duo whose been integral in establishing local talk. the pace is set with the first track *konbanwa*, showcasing the duos phenomenal skills in creating something both classic and modern by fusing a tight and driving groove, tension building chords and a bumpy bass hook to great effect. believe us when we say it has been an absolute highlight in our dj-sets thru out the summer. on *so special* the brothers go back to their roots and create a track that has got both the sound and feel of their previous tracks *breaking* and *the scene* - in other words, another big track from kyodai!

after few nolder, italian fellow lehar aka lorenzo esposito is the second new signing for connaisseur this year. apart from his residency at the cirq club in venice and regular bookings at some of the best clubs and parties in italy and malta, lehar truly is a very talented producer as well. some of you might have heard the free download for lehars remix of kollektiv turmstrasses classic *tristesse* which has caused some attention on him the past weeks and was therefore the perfect precursor for this release. his demo impressed us very much and both titles really hit our taste. and as though this wasn t enough, together with his demo he delivered a remix by his friend and probably hottest producer of the moment: mario basanov, head of the label boso and mostly know under his moniker ten walls.

amsterdam based house head nachtbraker made his first appearance on dam swindles infamous heist recordings earlier this year with his fantastic debut ep. we are very pleased to welcome him to our dirt crew family and to release his second record. being best known for his smooth and deep production with jazzy and soulful elements he also added these ingredients carefully in these 4 new tracks

david k is the parisian-turned-berliner producer who has been a prominent artist within the underground house scene since the late 90s, having first joined forces with dan ghenacia of apollonia when releasing his bestseller * boul de nerf* on freak n chic. a fruitful career in production led to music on labels like cocoon, visionquest, supplement facts and bpitch control, while his new album * out of range * is just about to drop. ten years in the making and signed to tiefschwarzs souvenir, david proves his music is still as relevant today as ever. as one of the main artists on freak n chic, david k seemed a natural fit for apollonia to approach...* david is an old friend and talented produced who we have known from the beginning back in paris. of course we wanted to see what he could do for the new label, as you know by now we apollonia are always referring back to our roots. a 2-track package, * middle-aged romance* is characterised by its bell melody and hard-hitting bassline, an electric story moving between ethereal wonder and an intense workout. * drop the beat* perfectly demonstrates the classic chicago house style david k and apollonia first enjoyed together all those years ago, but adding a very modern, textured touch. coming 2014, apollonia invite premiesku to the label – the combination of livio & roby and their pal george g – and also the newest addition to the lola ed roster.

throne of blood has been on a rampage of late. from our acclaimed ambient compilation moon rock volume one the the end scene lp from jokers of the scene and the debut single from the rapture’s vito & druzzi, we are on a musical mission and theres so much more in store

last year tornado wallace touched down at the esp institute with his thinking allowed ep, a slab of wax that proved pivotal in his musical aesthetic, beautifully complimenting our catalogue. he ups the ante further with circadia, his second 3-track ep that riffs on esp themes whilst sophisticatedly amplifying their character. the title track lays trance-like arpeggiated vocals over thunderous tropical toms, opening up into an epic group chant. time of nectar coasts along, blanketing us with soft pads and soothing pan pipes before jonny nashs palm-muted stratocaster makes its cameo. the essential house jam on the b-side, soft light, will no doubt pump its way through dance floors this summer, dont sleep!

to celebrate our 10th release we would like to welcome back our favourite outboard loving russian, semerka. two tracks of the highest order include lead track *triptych*, a 9 minute masterpiece in 3 parts, plus *more* which manages to be beautiful but deep with a creepy acid line. and synths reminiscent of the twin peaks theme track. dorylus take triptych into dubby territory with distorted but gorgeous synth lines not a million miles from early underground resistance. includes code for free download of 5 exclusive remixes.

after the success of the first ep on belief system records in 2013, ritzi lee has decided its time to deliver the next bomb! with radio signals ep ritzi is taking a deeper exploration on how certain signal sounds can influence space, and how he can apply this in techno music. the result (for now) is 4 tracks that cover different levels of suspence. >deflected< works like a frequency shield where no influences from outside can come through. >activate< is a subtile suspence build up to pass over the signals to infinity. >s.o.s.< is the tune to save our souls in techno music. and >code 754< is the technology to support intergalactic carrier wave transport.

after his split lp release with fellow florida idiot savants os ovni and featuring on the 3rd in our dark acid series, matt weiner (featureless ghost, cgi records, dka records) returns as twins (that which is not said)for a full 12- release. this is a four tracker of raging dancefloor acid

for nearly two decades, ploink has promoted techno nights around norway, presenting local talent as well as some of the biggest acts from around the world. we just really like techno. our definition of the genre is fairly wide though, constantly evolving, which we have attempted to reflect in this our first release, compiling four very different tracks by local producers from our hometown of bergen. setting up a label branch has for years been a burried, old plan. to us, techno parties, no matter how unique and brilliantly planned, have such a short lifespan, and as such it feels good to finally start releasing something that can get a life of its own, perhaps grow into something entirely different.

vega is a new label from tel-aviv. this is our first ep, previous releases include a compilation cd edited by dj jus-ed, and a flex-vinyl by morphosis. vega aims to bring a modern approach to the ancient dilemmas of our region through music and love. please support vega and bring the peace!

nobody can deny the fact that vilnius in lithuania is currently a very creative and agile place. first and foremost mario basanov of course, whose ten walls moniker swept the board last year and whose hype seems to have only just started. his popularity was heightened by the start of his own label boso. it took off with the highly praised -walking with elephants-, which was already one of the biggest tunes of this summer, before it even came out. the second release is by few nolder, another highly talented native from vilnius, who showed frst signs of life on connaisseur with his lovely tune -space espace- on our last edition of livingroom techno as well as with his remix for -canto d amore- by marco effe & francesco carone. -clouds- is the name of his boso release, and it looks to be the next big thing for this young label. for his frst own release on connaisseur he delivered -if-.the fact that it is different from his other output is why we have decided to present this tune in two versions as a 10- vinyl-only single. the original is a summerish and catchy house cut with a bouncy bassline and a slightly uk-approach.this tune makes you move without there being much you can do about it. the alt version goes deeper, building up with a question/answer theme until a strong, driving piano element joins to complete the track. lovers of older pokerflat releases will truly enjoy this version.
