2nd solo ep by etapp kyle on ostguts mothership

hope are in the black phase. everything around them is obscured. every lyric and every spark of music, every photograph and every recording is drenched in black. it’s not the black of wave or gothic bands, but the unpretentious black of portishead or talk talk. a black arising from a wound and at the same time covering the wound, burying it. a scab. a black letting you forget the jazz, the academics, and the provinces that hope has come from. in germany, jazz, academics and the provinces are very close, and hope had to live through most painful experiences, play many unnoticed concerts, and remain unloved to find the love for themselves and their music. only this explains the dark stringency and consequence of their self-titled debut album (produced by olaf opal), featuring monolithic songs like cell, kingdom and raw. songs, sounding rather like dystopic infinity than a light-hearted debut album. songs, compressed to one word, as if the listener should not waste any time with reading, but start listening. listen and dive into the endless hope wave of sound, vehemence and black. and yes, during all of this, the iconic singer christine börsch-supan is naked. we can only guess her contours - it is too dark.

das düsseldorfer duo bar, bestehend aus stabil elite musiker lucas croon und christina irrgang, debütiert mit einer musikalischen klasse zwischen new-wave, balearic, shoegaze, dream-pop und noir-songwriting. dieser 2-tracker beinhaltet einen unglaublich deepen signature-remix von unserem mann shahrokh dini, welcher bereits seit einiger zeit für furore in den clubs sorgt. michael marshelli überzeugt mit einem kosmisch-fetten (nu-)disco remix, der den gediegenen vocals des originals die richtige würze verleiht.

mandala trax aka shingo suwa and dj mori is releasing a first ep on merkur schallplatten. shingo has established the label in 2008. dj mori is working as resident dj at suicide circus berlin. they often performed at many clubs in the city. their first collaboration includes two different versions of rave influenced techno remixes by anna bolena. anna is music producer, promoter and video maker, she is an underground activist since the 80 s. she runs the label idroscalo dischi since 1999 and since 2005 the video production company idroscalo digitale. they both are working as resident for buttonÆs party at ://about blank. a1, their very first track, is called 11pm. the main solid synth line features deep kick drums surrounded by dubby industrial effects in the background. on a2 we find a heavy bottom groove, surrounded by echoes in a dark atmosphere. hand claps and white noises are driving any techno floor. the b side includes two different version by anna bolena. she produced some 90Æs rave structures affected by her experimental senses.

re release of 1995 wax master maurice seminal ep * crazy tunes*. containing 5 tracks of pure underground ghetto house from the chicago stable. also includes bonus never before released track * hydro*. freshly re mastered for 2016.

in 1987, series-a recorded the single evolution5 technology at spectrum sounds studio in st. clair shores, michigan. their set up was a vocoder, e-mu emulator iii, roland 909 drum machine, and an otari 24-track recorder.

in a time before cdj loop buttons and stone-cold arrangement techniques, bonus beats and beat records were a vital tool for aspiring, working and tone-deaf djs. the third release in an unofficial beat-tracks sublabel (se redshape and todd osborn for further reference) rhythm trainx vol 1 tries to breathe new life into that lost craft with an all-star cast: manuel tur, i:cube, blank spanner, disco nihilist, Âme and radio slave. all in different bpm, varying styles and (un)fortunately a bit more than simple kick-drum-hi-hat patterns. built to last.

13 jahre nach seinem letzten longplayer -drukqs- (2001) veröffentlicht aphex twin sein mit spannung erwartetes neues album -syro-, das mit einer fantasievollen outdoor- und online-teaserkampagne häppchenweise kommuniziert wird. musikalisch bietet der aphex twin elektronische abstraktion in perfektion. glasklarer, präziser sound, technisch auf dem neuesten niveau, teils superfunky, immer hochintensiv. es folgt dem Überraschungsrelease des bislang unveröffentlichten albums -caustic window-, das dieses jahr millionen von klicks und über 100.000 us-dollar per crowdfunding und auktion einsammeln konnte.

after several hot tunes on worthy’s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke

groove charts pos 1 (issue 126) its finally here! we are honoured to announce laid007 a colaboration with on of our favourite labels >workshop< initiated by our dear guest a&r dor levi. the house of workshop is powefully represented by kassem mosse & lowtec. it does not require a lot of words to introduce these two outstanding artists. lowtec and kassem mosse define since years how contemporary dance music can sound that locates its one foot in the future and the other one in a record collection filled with countless amounts of soul, disco, house, detroit, chicago, techno whatever you call it - its all there - enjoy!coming up laid 008 by marcello napoletano and laid 009 by lawrence.

refreshing darker techno w/ subtle dubby work outs - recommended!

2 big names from the tiger family, koen groeneveld (wake turbulence, go around) and peter gelderblom (waiting for, trapped, feeling for you, ...) teamed up for a huge tech release on roxy records. fokker 126 is deep, dark, hypnotic and a must play on every quality dancefloor

virgil enzinger, breaking through with his amazing record for chris liebing s clr back in 2006, starts up the zerocol-series with a one-sided hammer named black, and there is truly no other word which could describe it better. a slowly developping arrangement on 126 bpm creates a dark atmosphere while the grooves combine straight drumming with 6/8 shaking elements. for those of you who prefer it dark, but high end, this is the record.

this ep is pure classic disco dj weapon. a side is from probably the best known disco group of all time, can you guess who? but forget those cheesy vocals! b side is truly classic sounds from 1780 and 1890! but they re beautiful and funky, whats to say? 126 bpm plus 95, and 89 bpm. watch the dancers all go crazy. music you just cant make on a laptop, and thats why its so good

strong hypnotic minimal acidic techhouse monster ... getting already support from m.a.n.d.y., marc romboy, john acquaviva, david guetta, steve angello, sharam jey
