sebastian inwood has long been regarded as one of drum & bass s most promising producers, with a string of impressive singles on ingredients and hospital testament to his talents. strange system is the bournemouth-based break freaks debut album, and simply sparkles with futurist intent. comprised mainly of tracks that blend sturdy, bass-heavy d&b rhythms with the kind of melodious flourishes that have become hospital s trademark, its an album full to bursting with highlights. these include, but are not limited to, the punishing sub and sweaty, late night vocal samples of xylo, the slick, rolling liquid d&b of powder coated (produced in collaboration with london elektricity, and the d&b rap rinse-out of illaman hook-up weirdos & creepers.

grandiose best-of-werkschau des Šgyptischen trance/progressive-duos aly & fila mit 40 ihrer besten tracks und remixes, darunter zeitlose clubhits wie we control the sunlight, lost language und rosaires, top-kollabos mit roger shah, thrillseekers und john o callaghan, sowie exzellente remixes von photographer, husman, arctic moon, w&w, james dymond und jorn van deynhoven.

everything i know and i will never know about you is a journey through electronica, deep-house and pop, driven by the endless and timeless sources of inspiration that are love and life. prior releases on powerhouses diynamic, get physical and third ear have pinpointed denites sound at the border of deep and tech-house but his long player debut is, sonically, a fresh new adventure. the spanish producer takes a developed and matured sound into deeper dimensions of self-reflection, exploring new sonori- ties while remaining loyal to his early influences with strong personal touches on drums and keys. everything i know and i will never know about you is a bold move for denite, who comes a step closer to achieving his artistic vision. tracks like when i go out and the art of letting go embody the albums innate dance-floor nature while songs like berlin see the spanish producer looking square towards new horizons and musical ambitions. club-friendly while staying geared towards the headphones, everything i know and i will never know about you reads like a bridge between two love stories with similar paths and mirroring endings. opening with the slow, pulsating sound of a heartbeat, it follows the universal cycle of the highs and lows of a relationship, closing on brighter promises and new potentialities

counterstrike stand as one of the hardest production entities to pin down in the heavy-hitting end of drum and bass, delivering exceptionally well-executed cuts across the multiple sub-genres of the scene to carve out their unique sound. following up a string of releases across leading labels in the scene, which sparked as early as 2001 and sees them today as one of the leading forces with their heavy sound - they unveil their 2nd lp through their own algorythm recordings - fear division destruction.

two years on from his previous full-length, irishman-in-stuttgart marcus lambkin returns with what follows, his third album. recorded in his home studio, but mixed with juan maclean in new hampshire, it s a typically stylish and trippy set that methodically joins the dots between giorgio moroder, lcd soundsystem, italo-disco, german techno, balearic deep house, and intense chicagoan acid. lambkin has always been adept at making club music both left-of-centre and accessible, as if he secretly pines to make 80s synth-pop but is consistently drawn towards the dancefloor. this certainly explains the quantity and quality of the vocal numbers dotted throughout what follows.

a name thatÕs been on everyoneÕs lips, maduk is leading the way for the next generation of drum & bass producers, bouncing around europe with his uplifting, high-energy productions. signing exclusively to hospital records in 2015 cleared the path to complete his highly anticipated debut album.

was bewegt einen erwachsenen mann dazu, sich fŸr einen ganzen monat aus der zivilisation zurŸckzuziehen und sich in eine kleine hŸtte in den italienischen alpen zu begeben? im fall des hamburger musikers stimming war es die arbeit an seinem vierten album, das nach seinem refugium, alpe lusia, benannt wurde. die frage nach dem warum beantwortet stimming mit den stŠndigen wohlstandsgesellschafts-ablenkungen. stimmings album beginnt mit dem plŠtschern eines bachs, und in gewisser hinsicht ist es genau das: ein fluss, der in seinem verlauf neue stršme aufnimmt und somit an energie gewinnt, aber stets derselbe bleibt. zeitweise rei§end wie eine stromschnelle, andernorts ruhig wie eine flussbiegung, doch immer aus derselben quelle stammend. ich wollte etwas eigenes machen, eine reise die sich (abgesehen vom grundrezept house) mšglichst wenig an aktuellen stršmungen orientiert, so stimming. wenn man auf das feedback diverser kollegen vertrauen mšchte, scheint ihm dies gelungen zu sein so meint z.b. dj koze: ich bin begeistert. wahnsinnig warm, runtergestrippt, tief, verspielt und vor allem eigen! fast wie jemand, der einsam auf einem kutter Ÿber die meere gondelt und vor seinen kisten sitzt auf ritalin

die neue fabric-cd kommt vom briten alan fitzpatrick, einem der derzeitigen protagonisten des techno und aushŠngeschild des schwedischen kultlabels drumcode. sein von anfang bis ende durchdachtes mixset zeugt von zeitloser qualitŠt. mit verantwortlich dafŸr sind neben vielen namhaften vertretern des zeitgenšssischen techno auch exklusive edits (mark broom, boxia) sowie bislang noch ungehšrte tracks/remixes von fitzpatrick selbst (where haus?, drewxhill bullets remix).

as we launch into the 20th instalment of our watergate mix series, it seems only fitting that we turn to one of our own artists to commemorate the milestone. a man already well known for his poignant and impassioned productions and dj sets, we are thrilled to present matthias meyer as the next master of controls on watergate 20! over the course of 80 minutes, meyer skillfully navigates through boundless sonic spaces of lush melodics, organic grooves and sentimental sensations with an effortless approach. from the very beginning, emotions run deep as the sound of rain and strings on kettenkarussellÕs Ôten friendsÕ sets the stage as yokoo & retzas exclusive track satori and leafar legovs tribal girls establish the percussive tone of the mix. the journey really begins to unfold when back to back exclusive tracks gorje hewek & izhevskis turgoyakk and matthias own uluwatu take over. as the mix picks up steam tracks from palms trax, langenberg, hyenah and another exclusive from meyer himself provide the perfect momentum that drives us into the deeper side as the mix takes a turn towards the final stretch.

italian dj and producer manuel fogliata hasnÕt released a lot of records over the last ten years, but the few he has put out have always been worth tracking down. perhaps best known for his work alongside donato dozzy in creating the much sought-after aquaplano records at the tail end of the last decade, nuelÕs solo outings have been just as consistent and just as impressive. whether taking on metallic electro or syrupy, bass-heavy ambience, nuelÕs attention to detail and his keen ear for a groove has made each release something to treasure. nuelÕs only previous full-length, trance mutation (further records, 2011), was a masterpiece of minimal repetition.

imagine bringing together two distinct but complementary musical talents, already established as composers and producers in their own right, one male - with years as a performer on the festival and club circuit behind him - and one female - a rising star with a sirens voice, a maverick committed to live performance. imagine their astonishing sound: an intoxicating concoction of driving rhythms, lush synths, psychedelic effects and instantly memorable hooks drenched in a dark atmosphere of melancholy and brooding beauty.

nach der veršffentlichung seiner dreamzone ep verbrachte der gebŸrtige finne jaakko eino kalevi das vergangene jahr hauptsŠchlich damit, shows und festivals von europa bis japan zu bespielen. letzten sommer veršffentlichte der finnische workaholic zudem seine -yin yang theatre ep- fŸr das beats in space label des new yorker djs & radio hosts tim sweeney, die mit ihrem bohemen disco-sound erneut aufzeigte, wie vielseitig kalevi sein kann. die zweite hŠlfte des jahres 2014 mixte kalevi sein fertiges album dann in new york mit nicolas vernhes (the war on drugs, run the jewels) und zog anschlie§end nach berlin. sein selbstbetiteltes synthie-pop album erscheint mitte juni auf cd und vinyl via weird world/domino records.

this is armada lounge volume 7. forty tunes of staggering beauty and significant musical skill, at times poetic, and at times as careless as an island breeze packed with exclusive tunes, there are acoustic versions of classic records, like marco v & christian burns --frozen- and the wistful live performance of cosmic gate ft. emma hewitt - -be your sound-. dutch producer rodg returns once more with his rendition of lost at sea, and conjure one graces not one but four songs on the album. the second set features heavyweights like paul van dyk, andy moor, gabriel & dresden, chicane, and several tunes from lustral. classic tunes from highly respected artists and fresh recreations of the year s biggest records can all be found here. clearly a labor of love, -armada lounge vol. 7- will surely go down as one of the greatest lounge compilations of our time. this record proves that musicality and vision are still very much alive in 2014, and it reminds us all that the pinnacle of electronic music has still yet to be reached.

system fork was designed around the principle of itamae, where ever detail was described and thought about before any work in the studio was done. this process took two years before a set of rules and principles were fully realised for the creative process in the studio.

anchored between the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, when industrial music courted funk, when electro(nica) made a shy appearance and house was visceral and plaintive, also inspired by current r&b productions and futuristic hip-hop, tropics of love is a slow tempo record that shines like a steel sun and rings diabolically romantic.

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth arenÕt in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben vall¿e in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and vall¿e and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers
