after the huge success of degree 002 by nick curly, which was played a lot on the hot summer festivals 2013, the label now comes up with its 3rd cracker called >nature calls ep< of the three romanian guys horatio, elchinsoul and gruia. three well-known artists, who will again let degree impact on the dancefloors around. despite the stylistic variety of three producers, a clear golden thread runs through the sound. it combines the sultry soul of romania and lets the blood boil in your veins. all in all degree again releases a totally different record, which however has its typical style. high-class sound which is told by artists, who tell more than just one story. a powerful ep for each moment in life and on the dancefloor.

with his debut album prepped for november release, a sagittariun drops a taster of things to come, in the form of the >across the celestial sphere ep<. >clusters< rolls out another dusty breakbeat in perhaps his most dancefloor-centric offering yet. >fire sign< is a warm and jazzy slice of techno, whilst >the dna of life< is a moody, industrial electro join

the manic brothers ep begins with praying mantis , a deep techno offering using a swelling bass line that rumbles under the track whilst the distinctive synth phrase shifts the groove of the track. life after life is a more euphoric and delicate take on techno and uses subtle percussion and melodies to create an ethereal felt track.

femen is the second ep from hound scales on fifth wall, the brooklyn imprint he runs with divvorce. a dedication to the powerful women that have sculpted his life, the release sees the artist setting out to create the story of their impact on him by distilling these and other major influences into a techno format. the result is two originals blending amen-style jungle rhythms with collapsed industrial squeals, each with its own sense of beauty clawing upwards towards the surface.on the remix front, japanese producer and 10 label head honcho yuji kondo delivers an incredibly complex, layered interpretation of *a clique of tough women*, while mira and opal tapes affiliate bleaching agent pits the elegiac chords of the original *throated* against a repeated, mangled vocal motif, imbuing the remix with nostalgia while remaining an effective dancefloor instrument.

one is formerly the front man of a notorious glaswegian punk band, the other a meticulously precise studio guru with creative flair way beyond the majority. as solo artists they are a formidable force, as a collective they are quite simply one of the most exciting new acts in the uk right now. refusing to rush, they spend countless hours trying ideas, searching for samples, tuning percussion and tweaking sounds. for every mia dora track that sees the light of day, there are 100 that dont. this isnt throwaway club music for the internet generation, it is soulful, thoughtful and emotive music by two producers fuelled by an intrinsic need to give life to the sounds in their heads.

wir feiern die fulminante rückkehr von hip house. für eine solche standen die zeichen schon seit einiger zeit sehr gut. denn jener mitreissende sound, der ende der achtziger house und hip-hop verbrüdert hat, setzt schließlich immer noch die tanzflächen in brand und sorgt dort für herrlich unkontrollierbare schübe von euphorie. für >work it out<, die erste single ihres neuen albums >behind the masks , haben sich snuff crew mit einem der pioniere und bekanntesten vertreter des genres zusammengetan: tyree cooper. der ist nicht erst seit seinem großen hit >turn up the bass< weltweit erfolgreich. bei >work it out< zeigt er sich nun wieder in bestform. markige raps, heftige grooves, schrille sirenen und wilde scratches sind die explosiven zutaten dieses stücks. und auch der zweite track auf der single wartet mit einem hochkarätigen gast auf. immerhin verleiht die bulgarische sängerin rachel row >new life< mit ihrer umwerfenden stimme pures house feeling mit gänsehautgarantie. passend dazu dringen piano und strings tief ins herz hinein

daniel lopatin, sohn russicher us-einwanderer, hat sich als oneohtrix point never mit experimenteller elektronik einen namen als talentierter komponist erarbeitet. er veröffentlichte drei alben auf minilabels, arbeitete mit antony hegarty als sänger und mit animal collective als festivalhoster (atp) zusammen und schrieb neben brian reitzell die musik zu sofia coppolas jüngstem film *the bling ring*. lopatins musikalisches schaffen wird von kritikern mit einem zerbrochenem spiegel verglichen, in dem sich klänge aus der vergangenheit brechen. auch auf seinem warp-debüt *r plus seven* blinkt seine neigung zum experimentellen immer hervor, zeitgleich wagt er sich so nah wie nie zuvor an traditionelle songstrukturen heran, so dass die zehn neuen tracks zu gleichen teilen aufwühlerisch wie hypnotisch wirken.

clear soul forces is next to carry the burning flame for the city of detroit. discovered, championed, and mentored by royce da 5’9”, the four-man group rhymes like genetically enhanced street poets from the 70s who are here to remind us what album rap sounds like. the vision of e-fav, l.a.z., noveliss, and producer/emcee ilajide combines golden era, 21st century, backpack and sub-woofer hip-hop but never sounds dated, derivative, or awkwardly avant garde.

following on your work as one of the twin pioneers of glaswegian radge-rock in arab strap cant be an easy task. aidan clearly has had other ideas, quite different ideas, and most of them comprise his solo project release via his alter ego, lucky pierre. in these recordings, l. pierre pays an affectionate tribute to the wear and tear of overplayed vinyl, the hiss, scratch and pop of records long loved but worn down. it is the sound of survival, the echoes of a life lived well, moth eaten music of dasness and resilience, of beauty and backbone.

stuck in the 9-5 grind, stifled by the impersonality of constant social media and mobile interaction, contemporary urban life can be suffocating. for a certain breed, release cannot be found in the vast, unpopulated great outdoors. urban animals congregate in heaving warehouses, seeking solace in the liberating beats of the kick drum. they are bound not by association, but through a shared experience of primal relief felt in those shadowy, dance floor corners swelling with the sounds of low end frequencies and brazenly sculpted grooves. this is the urban animals jungle.

on uncanny valley s catalogue number 18 we finally welcome back credit 00 who is a man in charge of a decent collection of those dusty machines we all love. after the ice cold the living room life ep from 2012, his brand new record ice cream is easy to fall in love with. packed with tunes to suit various moods in life, it will be a faithful companion in dark basements or lonesome hours. ice cream starts deliciously with its sleazy sample choice. with the distinctive drum work it builds up to a true chicago-inspired dance floor banger. round n round hits hard with a harsh kick and cowbell action before it shows off slightly melancholic lead synths and a subtle but effective bass line and puts the emphasis on the fact that things go round and round. life s a dizzy affair. east of nowhere with that bass line-sound is credit 00 to the core. and with spooky synths he puts you to an east of nowhere-place where you will lose yourself in manic trance-like dancing. the record ends with red wine , a slightly different electronic love song sung by credit 00. the cover artwork was created by alexander dorn.
