a few words by steffen bennemann: when i heard margot for the first time, i instantly fell in love with their synth-driven free- form kraut-techno. strong melodies, insanely well-shaped beats, sometimes driving, sometimes bravely bending the rules. after great releases on james holdens border community, ivan smagghes kill the dj and their own label we were more than happy to welcome them in our holger family. here they can show their more experimental side, far beyond common floor/listening conventions and full of synapse-tickling synth magic. plus a secret pop hit (trentaseitrenta), perfect for closing any exceptional club night.

cloaked in black, dimly lit and sparkling with dust, warm communications announces umbra volume 1. much in the spirit of adam xs traversable wormhole series, warm is bringing you a collection of anonymous releases that remind to remember drum and bass at its true heart: cracking snares, kick drums hitting your chest, subtle pads playing in an offcentered unison over 808 tones drowning distant thunder. these are the tunes you hear in a mix and say, who was that? the tunes that have made you wake up the next morning and type *id?* in the comments page. the tunes that do not even need to be named. warm communications umbra is truly about the art.
umbra volume 1 is a two-track ep that evokes omni trio and saw-era aphex twin, rumbling sine-heavy bass under ringing melody, computed chords and clean, crisp drums. this is a collectable, limited-edition series labeled appropriately with secretive sewer-grate artwork. umbra volume 1 is lurking there, underground, looking up through the shadows. it is up to you to find out just who is waiting there.

void coms is a label inspired by the work and theories of yves klein. kleins work revolved around a zen influenced concept he came to describe as *le vide* (the void). kleins void is a nirvana-like state that is void of worldly influences, a neutral zone where one is inspired to pay attention to ones own sensibilities, and to reality as opposed to representation. we hope to apply these ideas to the musical and identity approach of the label, letting powerful music speak above persuasive imagery & enticing embellishments.
homologous takes the form of 3 compositions designed specifically for void coms, with fis being heavily instrumental in the development of the ideology behind the label, as well as spearheading its musical direction.voidcoms001 has been mastered by matt colton at alchemy to be released on 12 inch vinyl with a laser etching of original artwork by fis designed exclusively for the release. further transmissions to follow.

when walter merziger and arno kammermeier head to the studio to work on new material for their long time project booka shade, the result is a winning combination of underground sensation and club hit, as titles such as mandarine girl and body language have proved to great acclaim. its a balancing act that only the most successful electronic musicians can do so successfully over such a period of time. booka shades new single >love inc< is no exception. presaging the fifth studio album release from these berlin transplants,>love inc< is infused with pure club sound created by merging a refined sense of sonance with solid craftsmanship. the duo pays a contemporary homage to chicagos former king of house, lil louis, whose 1992 hit club lonely serves as the tracks sample

since day one, radiq has been showing an affinity for the afro-centric funkiness and carefully-honed sound design of modern days minimal music. as in many of his previous tracks, all six songs of >vida noir< has this certain kind of unyielding quality - long, hypnotic grooves with muted kick drum set the stage for more emancipated experiments in texture and sound design. on >a long hot summer break<, for example, the effect is utterly obvious as kicking its ass into gear with syncopated drums and strain of warm chords before animated vocal sample slips in like fingerprint. while deeply seductive interplay of those chugging percussion gives way to delighted horn of >a-dieu<, warm chord and acoustic guitar of >calling< is perfect example for radiq’s masterful sound and texture. >machine codes modified< has rather restrained structure for him, but tightly woven drums speaks eloquently about its carefully arranged funkiness and dance floor functionality. despite their repetitiveness, its surprising how well these productions forming cohesive solidarity as an album. presumably, it owes a lot to wide tonal vocabulary which is radiqs hallmark - these tracks has something concentrated, vivid qualities. this album sits just at the edge of the dance floor, but also performs its exceptional strength on intense home listening. dusky synth and truncated surge of bass of >vida noir< constructing something dark, before closing this album with modulated afro-acoustic guitar and deep falsetto voice (by the producer himself) of >rondo<. this album offers up an engaging and comprehensive amalgamation from the inquisitive sound by the maestro

the 12 track album was written and produced since the turn of 2013 and mixed with erol alkan at the phantasy sound, the labels own studio in london. a difficult trick to master but like carl craigs more songs about food and revolutionary art, plastikmans consumed or more recently the work of four tet, the album works as a cohesive whole rather than a disparate collection of tracks

it is jam citys turn to deliver a batch of sweaty, streamlined dancefloor weapons on the 6th installment of the club constructions series. the minimalism and intensity of jersey club music remains a huge influence on the whole night slugs camp, and while jerseys impact can be felt across the cc series, jam city channels those devastating ghostly kick drums like none other. continuing on from where he left off with club favourites *the courts* the *how we relate to the body*, jam drops 5 lean and intense drum workouts build from scrap metal and primed for warehouse use. they move between thudding midrange persistence and just-sub-and-air minimalism, framed by jammed drum machine rhythms and splashes of re-sampled colour. jam decorates these sturdy and well-deployed undercarriages with silvery detail, percussion fragments, broken talkboxes, whispered vox and simple, beautiful chords.

later on as dusky, the british duo of alfie granger-howell and nick harriman have asserted their position amongst the top producers working in electronic music right now after releases on anjunadeep, naked naked, aus, and its sister label simple.

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.
