for this first release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by legendary detroit producer : jason grove. born in detroit, he started his career in the late 80s, dj-ing in underground parties when the techno house movement was just at the beginning. he was invited few times on detroit local stations such as wdrq & wjlb to play. some said he was at that time very close to the >wizard<, helping producing their first tracks with anthony srock as final cut. he had many opportunities during the 90s to release some of his work on various prestigious labels, however, as the guy is really hardcore & straight edge, he prefered to continue producing only with analog gears (dont ever speak to him about a computer or hell get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). we heard this story long times ago & it was only when we were in l.a. last year at pooh-bah record shop that we finally managed to get our hands on one of those tapes (one from june 1991 & the other one done in october 1992) with some of the best & incredible music we ve heard in years, it sounded like kerri chandler before kerri chandler did even start to release any tracks ! those first tapes are finally available after a hiatus of more than 15 years on vynil only (!)

the 250 rec continues on his journey only vinyl productions. the series continues with this new artist showing two tracks. >sugga gal riddim< is a dub session with tropical sounds and atmospheres that recall moments are often forgotten. a beautiful atmosphere that can bring a smile and calm in a stressful life now. the version of stefano testa makes it closer to the classic dancefloor and parties ... perfect for those moments where the sun rises, the moments when you think about life and how everyday life is beautiful in itself, times you feel alive. >dirty< is the hit! a crescendo of rhythm and atmosphere that will blow every dancefloor. smile and no desire to stop for any reason. sounds dirty and syncopated. another powerful 250 recs vinyl!

if you like your disco bumping around in the midtempo range this release is definitely for you. working around a killer sample from love unlimited orchestra the >jamaican girl< track is destined to become a huge dancefloor winner. flip things over and you will find a tasty rework of swedish artist roger rönning and his much in demand folk disco track >tiden bara gar< where changed used elements from both the original and live version.
a real standout release from a label thats got a lot to shout about!
basic fingers is a new label brought to you by the fine team over at gamm. its an open-minded concept with quality edits and reworks for an underground disco/ house generation.

this time they bring to the table 2 of the most rolling smashing tunes from the benefit camp. whats good about social music is that it has space and head room for you to mix the tune nicely in whatever way shape or form you choose. if you want to bashment switch it you can, or you want to use it for dd (double dropping) its there for you to do so or even roll out the mix. and the m.cs dont need to fight against the frequencies they can just do their thing without struggling.

the classic music company by luke solomon & derrick carter continue to play the game under their own conditions. as a label it never died it just retreated for a while in order to come back stronger. all hail the king because the king is back. long live classic!

its a love story: stil vor talent have long been mad about niconé and sascha braemer so that the recent past has seen some very memorable releases by the two producers. now its about time they join forces to release a whole album together, of which the first set of two vinyl packages is taken. known for their often very musical techno and house productions, >romantic thrills part 1< encapsulates this style while adding an extra element of sex and pop appeal, without straying too far from the dancefloor. >pianotic<, >runaway< and >caje< are three prime examples of how to incorporate piano, trumpet or guitar melodies organically into electronic music without sounding artificial

different recordings is very proud to release mr no debut: snake ep.
initial reactions are overwhelming with rob da bank using the title track the snake to open his bbc radio show on oct 1st or thebluewalrus blog writting >i havent been as excited about a french techno/house debut as much as what i ve just heard from mr no in a long time. fuck yes!<
with the snake, he or she and vibrant (the three tracks of this ep) mr no delivers a warm uplifting techno / electronic music full or energy.

nice price deal !!! incl the mega track >in a blink of an eye< - pure euphoria! decks tipp.. it would be to easy to categorize satori as a techno producer. of course there were the clubhits with his partner in crime el mundo, there were long hot nights, exuberant dancefloors, pounding beats and pure ecstasy. but the person behind satori has another side, a side that also wants to pour his personal impressions into sound. meet in to void, a remarkable debut in every sense. forget about those dancefloors for a moment, the place where satori left his mark so clearly these last years. place yourself in the person djordje petrovic, born form a serbian father and south african mother, raised with balkan music, afrobeat, jazz and world music in all shapes and sizes. someone who educated himself in playing guitar and piano and also wants to showcase this other side of his music. produced in the moments in between his sessions with el mundo a series of tracks came about that characterize satori most accurately. deep, sensitive and worldly, but mostly compelling and utterly beautiful. in to void is a musical moodboard, an emotional blog if you like, where thoughts and impressions by djordje petrovic force themselves to you in a hypnotic trip, subtle but irresistible.

in recent times it has been fashionable for european producers to try and recreate the classic sounds of detroit. the true vibe and feel can surely only come from the city itself? as his name suggests, whilst we know very little about anonym, we do know that he hails from the legendary motor city, and the true essence of his home town can be heard and felt in his music. classic sounds constructed with a modern touch. gritty, raw and crying out for sweaty basements. in 2011 anonym has finally arrived on vakant and is set to release his first record on the label. his > flivvers vol.1 ep< will be followed by vol.2 later this year.

panacustica’s fourth release is amongst cosmic metal mother’s finest work. “time is now” the track in question, defies definition by mastering a style on it’s own, by fusing elements echoing from prog-rock drenched with emotional content into an adult and contemporary way of delivering which is unique to the cmm writing style. the original is melancholic bliss. a vocal line at the center of the piece whispers words about oscar wilde and mr. death accompanied by a cello melody that grows bigger and bigger into an angelic cascade of notes. the track begins and ends in the most bare way with just a drum beat leaving you with the feeling you have just entered a loop where time is irrelevant. commodity place has the second cut of the a side. the duo from rome, known in the global underground of the vinyl tribes for their signature guitar style, chooses to call their mix “experience”, clearly paying homage to the gods of rock, delivering a guitar solo that will fire up your speakers and fill your eyes with the brightest psychedelic colors that we all so desperately need in this age of grey anonymity. the b-side is a full eight-minute mix by the man who needs no introduction and made us all dance since day one, larry heard, a.k.a. mr. fingers. his version is a fast “four to the floor” track, where a shaker drives the house beat into the melodic lines and voice borrowed from the original, making it one hundred per cent dance floor efficient with the modernity and mastery of his touch

simoncino an ultra talented producer from italy with this warrior dance ii will feature on a side his 2 brand new tracks: one cover of marshall jefferson as jungle wonz >time marches on< & >ingas crème<. on b side, we have the very very big honor to get 2 extraordinary remixes from the legendary chez damier, that will remind us whats house music is all about ! a club mix of >ingas creme< & another atmospheric, deep as hell version. useless to say that simoncino is on top right now & is writing some future & clut club classics. just wonderful!

düsseldorf based sello is producer treading creative end of the deep house spectrum. after the great feedbacks received on his ep debut on neovinyl and his latest work on wazi wazi, he is back in bussinnes with - feel this -. enter the universe of sello and explore two new tunes by the master of deep feelings! simply quality.
subsequently to listening carefully his new work, we are pretty sure thereís something extraordinary about a lot of these tracks. they definitely recall the sound of the old classics. in this ep you will meet up the soul of this young artist who keep his style fresh and original in any track he signs up.
among the original tracks you will find two remixes featured by two five stars artists: brendon moeller and elef, who have remixed plombir with two very differents results. brendon moellers music is well known in the scene, with releases in third ear, mule and echocord. he made a solid version of plombir giving it a super dub feelings. on the other side elef (dirt crew, back and forth) just twisted the original track with a superb interpretation adding some moody grooves on it.

while the first release on wania, busen & paleos >stream of love< (featuring dj sotofetts anthemic overdub-12inchedit) was a rather leftfield affair, dritfett is aimed more directly towards the dancefloor. the label artwork gives a clear clue as to what this release is all about: amongst a number of cryptic messages and shout-outs in norwegian - a tr-909 logo. all the tracks here are based around the 909 - thunderous kickdrums and sharp, hissing hi-hats that cut through the mix. still, theres a broad range of sounds, from head-down, fists-clenched warehouse workouts with an industrial edge, to more melodic tracks with detroit references aplenty. make no mistake though: this is all about the power of the almighty 909. theres no fancy tricks here‚ no ableton-trickery or polished waveforms, just good honest techno with a real raw live feel. this gives the tracks the energy and spontaneity that is sorely missed in many of todays productions. the kind of energy you will find - in abundance - in the house and techno releases of the 90s. the kind of energy that can only be achieved by pressing play on a machine, frenetically twisting knobs and punching buttons while letting the energy of the room decide where to go next.

following the much talked about and played out ones on japanese endless flight, australian future classic, german best works, british crosstownrebels, and otherworldly philomena - a string of tracks and releases of 2011 supported by Âme, dixon, damian lazarus, andre lodemann, soul clap, sasha, joakim and far too many others to mention, here comes a four track ep of interplanetary body music of mario & vidis. it’s vilnius house

gethigh is a new track release from laid back. the lyrics may instantly lead your mind onto thinking of cannabis but try to think about it in a broader context, in a more universal way. we all want to get high whatever we do in life, in all walks of life, in spirits, sports, politics, showbusiness, all kind of business, in school and education and not to forget love. musically the groove is kept in the recognizable family of the horse, with an updated twist. actually the song was born in key of major, as a more rock guitar riff kinda song included in the package. also included is an ultra minimalistic version, mainly made on ipad. danish electronic musician and dj kasper bjørke has done a really cool remix. finally we made a space mix, mainly for our own pleasure and for those who like to get out there and more into it. a video is in the final editing stage, following the style of beautiful day and cocaine cool, with self made animation. music is more than a trendy sound and a fancy look. laid back is always going for something personal, original and timeless. copenhagen, september 2011.

there is a certain dynamic that emerges whenever andre galluzzi and dana ruh pair up to create a record. with last year s >freya / mauersegler< split ep on ostgut ton, the two have already hit up some of the most prestigious labels in the electronic music landscape. tracks that are upbeat, driving, and, most of all, fresh have characterized their co-productions, which now have aras as a home. taking its cues from their label nights at berlin s panorama bar, galluzzi and ruh have solidified aras into an imprint based around expanding upon the creative energy that both share. their first release, >trambolla<, harmonizes each artist s approach into a grooving whirlwind that showcases their ability as producers as well as live musicians.starting off with the title track >trambolla<, the ep begins with tribal beats and infectious arrangements that seamlessly build upon each other along the course of the a-side. grooving from the start, it is the kind of track where the listener or the dj gets into the vibe right away. the percussion of >trambolla< especially stands out amongst the latin-tinged bongos, hi-hats, and hand claps that interchangeably come in and out of the track, a journey of its own at 9 minutes. >thelema<, the b-side, contrasts with the lightness of the a-side and demonstrates galluzzi and ruh s equal comfort in creating darker and heavily pounding tracks. the ten minute track grows out of a simple beat and growls ever louder as it takes in more intensity with its cascade of filters, delays, and booming bass. aside from the hard edge of >thelema<, it also provides a preview into the live set that the two artists are about to debut together.

this is the third of the black dogs liber series of releases that are purely aimed at the dance floor. it follows the previous, well received liber kult & liber temple 12s, these singles all lead to liber dogma, due on soma in october, and further chapters. high rise choir reprise opens with clattering percussion taken straight from recordings at forgemasters before a face-ripping gut-wrenching bassline cuts through with one of the black dogs strongest minimal grooves yet. built to move heads and feet, the hypnotic groove hooks you instantly while the haunting strings bring the emotion in massive dark waves, you cant help but fall into this track. beautifully simple, addictive and massive. dissident bleep is just that. over the years the myth that sheffield is all about bleep and bass has gathered ground but those who live here know its all about the bass. industrial repetition gives way to twisted vocal samples of >over, over<, a sure-fire nod to cabaret voltaire, before the kicks and filters pummel you.

about yoav b (delsin/wasa bi) :in the last 10 years, dj yoav b has released some of the finest deep house and techno records around, some are already considered as cult classics. most of you will recognize that thick, thick bassline of his underground anthem >energize<, which was fired at you at many dancefloors around the world, or that dazzling kick drum and fm synth bass line of “organ satta” that appealed to djs from chicago to berlin.with his latest release for the most respected delsin label, entitled >love dubs<, he kept pushing the limits of dance music over the maximum, with some experimental yet funky as hell house and techno music, picked, played and charted by a large scale of djs such as martyn, marcel dettmann, charles webster, basic soul unit and more. near future projects include e.p. releases for the lables meakusma (belgium) and synchrophone (france).as a dj, yoav b. has established himself as one of israels finest underground dance music jocks. also recognized for his unique cut n paste way of mixing, you can hear in his sets nothing but deep and hot music in various styles – from deep house to techno, from disco to jackbeat, from classic to futuristic – all mixed in a furious funky, yet coherent spinning style.

now.. time for some fresh fresh fresh stuff.. on subway 018 we present akkachar, a name that isnt unknown in the music circuit. his label rwina has released some of the finest artists to date. taz buckfaster, eprom, starkey, swindle, doshy are just some of the names that went through his infamous imprint. but this time the don himself steps behind the buttons and shows that releasing music isnt all he is good at. we are proud to bring you akkachars debut, a producer you will hear alot more about in the near future.

the long awaited >thracian ep< by bogdan irkuk a.k.a. bulgari is finally here. already played by idjut boys in tokyo and supported by heavy names such as mark e and toby tobias to name a few.
bogdan asked to include this legendary quote by his hero brahim ivaylov, written on the back of the record sleeve. -... it came down from the mountains, over the wind-swept plains, we covered our faces as the wind and the sun spoke with one voice, singing our songs so impossibly true...- brahim ivaylov, thrace, 1906.
these few words really capture a lot about the mood of this masterpiece. dont miss this release - no repressing.

during a stay in munich anthony shake shakir heard a demo version of the song >hammering< and was so thrilled by it, that he decided he wanted to release it on his own label frictional.
striking about the 12-inch is the way it was done. the basement is the track >hammering<, a techno track that uses a sample of a work song from an historical recording dating from the 1930s. the swinging-souly voices are combined with a clear and funky beat that pushes you forward, and you wont forget the voice for a long time, even after the track has been listened to multiple times.after that anthony shake shakir created a remix that afterwards was again remixed by splits & slits.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

we are back with a special release from einmusik. this time samuel kindermann is telling you something about those real summer-nights, those few mysterious and magic hours filled with sounds, colorful lights and beauty all around. -nyx- is one of the songs on the -oceans bottom pt.2- ep. it comes up with an endless dreamy hook, the slappy rhythm is gracious and the groove is full and checkless. bit by bit the headstrong sounds direct you deeper into this track and you re hands will be up at least. backside we find -oneiros- it s a very coltish track with a haunting melody. it s humming in your ears, that s what it is made for. such an easiness coming up while hearing this song, you ll get a bit gushy and your feet won t be able to stop. both songs on are preparing the way into a unique sound-universe which will be opened on einmusiks new album coming up in autumn.

jax is a collective of like-minded artists, musicians, thinkers movers and booty-shakers, who believe there is more to records than just some grooves engraved into black plastic. their vision is to treat each release as a presentation in itself, complete with original and individual artwork, features and an exhibition. each production will feature artwork shown in a cube of about 8 cubic meters. every record-released will be strictly-limited to 500 copies, which includes a poster referencing the piece made by the artist! daniel roth was born in seeheim near frankfurt. he started to experiment with different styles of electronical music using an akai mpc and a juno 106 in 1997. by this time he wasnt thinking of making music his profession. he then started his studies in skulpturing at the städel in frankfurt. after having finished art school he took up producing music again, influenced by his art and contemporary dance music styles. with his jax release he showcases his ability to combine different elements with his unique touch.

produced by close friend black coffee, the original mix provides a suitably deep and meaningful platform for bantwinis heartfelt lyrics about phony relationships and, in turn, his soulfully immaculate delivery. lush afro-edged rhythms lead into smart bursts of trumpet, cool double bass-lines and stirring rhodes solos - a rich musical weave more than amplifying bantwinis performance.
a wealth of stylish remixes skilfully widens wasting my times dancefloor appeal. gallic house sophisticate rocco ups the tempo, cracking whip-smart beats against thumping kick drums and infectious metallic key stabs, as does paris kingpin dan ghenacia, thanks to a fiesty vocal remix and dub fusing gothic mood and jack-happy sass in fine style. ghenacias versions have already, in fact, become a thunderous week-in-week-out staple of his ibizan circo loco residency at dc10 this summer. elsewhere, real tone main man franck roger offers a neat, dubby riff on black coffees original production, injecting sweet balafon melodies and additional percussive pep.

good stuff is the first single taken from luomos plus album, appearing in september 2011 on moodmusic records. luomo aka vladislav delay, sistol, uusitalo… under a raft of names finnish artist sasu ripatti has in the last years experimented with ambient, broken beat, glitch as well as grooves and house music with soulful vocals, working with scissor sisters, black dice, apparat, craig armstrong, massive attack, robert owens and towa tei. luomo is about experimenting with pop music, a big influence for ripatti, and bringing it to a fusion of house, disco and electronica. plus is the 5th album for luomo, taking the songwriter abilities of ripatti to a new level, dwelling deep into first generation chicago house and the pop sensibilities of 80s london, coupled with his impeccable crossover pop appeal. never going for a one formula approach, plus has a distinct luomo sound - hypnotic, sexy and delicately insistent, rhythms following a self-movement and never standing still. good stuff brings luomos pop abilities to top-form, changing between a mid 80s boogie bass and synthetic yet warm deep house with a positive vocal deliver from the ever intriguing chicago boys. remixes comes courtesy of area & dave dk.

as much as track names end up being slightly more than tags and guidelines for searches in the digital era of music in which we live today, the name of the title track says a lot about the intentions behind the artwork. in the case of >the classic age<, it can be considered a homage to the influences that nourished rotcivs career throughout the past years.

limited 1st run on marbled grey vinyl !3rd in this superb deep techno series, support from: sandwell district, scratcha dva, sigha, james ruskin, mark broom, claude young, steven tang, billy nasty, delta funktionen, miles sagnia, morphosis, ben sims, commix, jerome sydenham, regis, shifted, function etc... surface return with the third in its beneath the surface series, following on from the extremely well received between worlds release. journeys to the deep volume 2. is an important and personal record to nick and the surface camp in general, paying tribute to family elder jessica dunton and her influence on nick and his families lives, and her long fight to continue living against the odds! facing the heavens- sees nick take on his much lauded ever vivid moniker delivering an extremely fitting tribute that somehow blurs the boundaries between the early classic emotive sounds of 90s uk techno, house and 70s funk.. cutting synth lines drenched in soul develop throughout the track taking us on a deep yet strangely uplifting journey, the chord sequence beautifully maintains the mood, but for us at the office its all about the detail, piercing moog leads, emotive strings and rhodes, all driving along at pace on top of a reese type melodic bassline and rolling 808 drums. this is as comfortable in a club as it is at home. timeless in its approach, with a purist touch. on the flip nick duntons >leaving the planet< is an altogether different beast.. beautifully produced and super deep, this is the classic dunton sound of late, harmonic drifts and carl craig 69 era strings morph between lush sustained textures, that somehow float above the powerful pulsing bass, that imitates a heartbeat and really gives this track a haunting feeling that when coupled with the hypnotic phasing drums, and fluttering reverberating stabs make it is as deep as the sea, yet beautifully bass heavy. this is nick taking his wide screen cinematic sound and stripping it bare whilst losing none of the evocative touches that have made his recent music so affecting

nice shoulder bag for round about 20-25 vinyls

the mysterious rod enterns the balans arena with an uncompromising, abstract techno affair. little can we tell you about this mysterious character. only that a famous dj from rodterdam is behind this alter ego and that he did a very well received ep on ben klocks klockworks earlier this year.
the music coming from this persona is one hundred percent puristic, stripped down, dj tool techno. with a capital t you have seen that right! no nonsense hypnotism as we rarely see it nowadays. three or four sounds per track, each pushed and stretched inside out for maximum result. these tunes are made for dark, strobe lid cellars or underground techno temples such as berghain.
techno is back and this is about as abstract and underground as it gets. we look forward to release more rod records in the future.

when a deservedly hyped label like no.19 music states that its biggest release is about to drop then a certain amount of attention is due and thats exactly what the labels 19th release, tanner ross >b side ep<, deserves. despite having clocked up an impeccable discography that takes in collaborations with soul clap (as sect) and sergio ross as well as output for freerange, airdrop, culprit and dirty bird this is ross first solo release under his given name and is causing a enormous buzz via consistent plays from label-boss jonny white (art department), crosstown rebels main-man damian lazarus and a few close friends of the family. adding to the two stunning originals, b side and 4 u ft. flo night , and pushing things into unmissable territory is a brilliant remix of the latter from crosstown rebels / wolf & lamb family member, deniz kurtel.

wow! what a year the wolf music crew are having. every release gets better and better. each time serving up a unique new offering from a variety of artists all with one thing in common: extremely high standard of production. all too often labels release good but not great music but wolf music is a testament to what searching high and low for the freshest artists with the best skills can really achieve. wolf ep 009 is no different. one often talks about real class produces and labels and buzz names and the next big thing … but only do a handful of labels ever live up to the manufactured hype they seem to receive. wolf music not only lives up to it but indeed outshines it. this ep is a must have for any dj/music connoisseur who truly knows their trade.

with his bellefonic ep, drei farben house from berlin creates a remarkable house-disco-hybrid.soul vocals, funky drums, warm basses – it is all there. wide range of accoustic sounds meets specifically selected electronic elements. with his rather classic idea of musicality drei farben house bridges rich soulfulness and slim, reduced funk. beauty and elegance, understatement and indulgence, meoldiousness and pop appeal – thats what this concept is about.tenderpark remains a prime address for softly gleaming pearls which light up in small side streets. about tenderpark: tenderpark is a vinyl label from berlin in quest of warmth and elegance in contemporary house music. lightness and pproachability are the main focus. tenderpark sounds the commonalities and connections between music and fashion. after the first series of record artworks had incorporated a fashion photo, tenderpark has staged a fashion shot for the new records again. this time the label has drawn on the sophisticated clothes of berlin menswear label a.d.deertz to play the main role in the new artwork.

we are pleased to present the latest addition to our slow motion family - marcello giordani. disco overlord, laser cowboy and cosmic heartbreaker. >chubby rain< takes you on a journey through inner space and outer dimensions where the infinity of the universe glows in neon-indigo and thoughts and feeling come and go like waves on a beach. with wandering arpeggios, washed out digital strings and distant vocals, there s just the right amount of strut in the precision-engineered beats to propel you through the night. >roma< brings us back closer to earth with a smattering of classic disco sounds reinterpreted for a parallel universe. playful synths make us think of strange animals in distant galaxies, and inter-stellar adventuring with a happy ending.flip the record over and masimilliano pagliara breaks chubby rains epic journey in to smaller, sharper hops that retain the best parts of the original but adds extra rocket boosters to make for a more exciting ride. finally modus, the dirty, sexy robot cousin that we only talk about in hushed digital voices. she is slow, sleazy and spilling oil out of every hole. is that reggae she is listening to?

killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

moving through the worm hole, a track materializes at each stop offering emotive tunes that pull at your senses. alexander shows off his skills as you travel into four different universes encompassed within four house yet techno musical adventures. white rhino (deep down beat down) - begins the journey with an up tempo banger in which the bass syncopates ever so nicely. a message about the white rhino insues quickly and more synths come to take you on a space age trip. transcend - smooth synth line with a deep kick, leads us to gritty yet soft pads that build and build as vision of stars are created by waveforms. deep within - bassline and melodies blare out as the beat pulsates, and out of no where a voice comes up from deep within the darkness. the abyss - ending the journey is a super deep tunes that relaxes your mind, as you go deeper and deeper with the bassline, chords, and vocals…

from the >whistle while you work< opening of >zimbabwe<, the summer grooves of >tapioca< to the dramatic crescendo of >oceans<, new navys debut >uluwatu< ep demonstrates the australian bands powerful songwriting ability and consistent style. new navy balance sparkly guitars with front man ben mcinernys smooth vocals, delivering strong bass-lines and breezy indie grooves to great effect. they have received impressive early support from radio and media with comparisons to foals, the whitest boy alive and cold war kids when talking about this promising young 4 piece.

guy gerbers supplement facts imprint continues to drop the bombs, this time courtesy of brooklyn-based duo no regular play, with their searing package. >fall up to the sky< featuring the molten vocals of maya hatch and a blinding remix from life and death. the ep came about after label head guy gerber heard a recording of an nrp live set at an after party and was struck by one particular synth line, so much so that he contacted the pair shortly after to discuss a release. a prevailing musical connection on both sides made supplement facts the natural destination for.

crosstown rebels are immensely proud to present latest signing fur coat and their epic tech-funk odyssey. featuring an absolutely killer remix from man of the moment totally enormous extinct dinosaurs space ballad feat. argenis brito is about to blow your mind.

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).
