killer release on new yorks sequencias label. powerful and hypnotic chicago acid inspired cut on the a and a cool slow building chord driven track layered over raw drum rhythms on the b-side. recommended!! label promo text: sequencias does not stop, does not conform, takes no prisoners. our third release brings you a pair of artists from two different points along interstate 94, who have a reputation for the very same. so lets get to it. the main body laid down by villan x is tight metallic percussion underpinned by solid kicks and a stream of robotic filtered bass, containing unexpected shifts within the frequency register. foreboding tones and feelings drift towards us across which the disembodied voice of kold is able to find a platform from which to shudder into our consciousness and pose questions from across the galaxies about the nature of our very being. dcantu carries on the feelings of space, with protracted white noise shots and stabby modulated organ chords, but doesnt leave it long before setting the pace with solid drums and shifting keyboard funk aimed squarely your body and the dance floor as octave changes force you up and then down again to a backdrop thick with texture. this provides for the body and the mind. act fast though, sequencias does not like to rest.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

breathing the air of late spring in rome, the climate is one of wonderful sunsets and open-air dance floors. this is the picture that attilio tucci and sergio picciaredda capture in their proverbial camera under the pseudonym camilla green, a continuing collaboration with wild cat, which started with altarboy of the album left below (wwr004.) the harmony between the line of 303 and the pad synth on lost love evokes intense emotions and opens up in a revolving way. the track >xo< emerges techno with the beauty of its essential components: the fast-paced beat, the hypnotic samples, the wise use of the acid sound that never sound noisy. the warm voice of wild cat in both the tracks will envelope you. let inhibitions go and dance. the higher powers say youll need to stock up on these beautiful pictures and memories of late spring to help you get through another cold winter.

alden tyrell hooked up with mike dunn for some new work!. a golden combination which already worked out great as we learned from the heavy remix tyrell did for the murphy jax & mike dunn collaboration (its the music - cat# cjfd06). tyrell always jamming and playing around with his synths had some tracks inspired by early mike dunn songs. so the obvious happened ... the hooked up for some appropiate vocals and here it is ... touch the sky! a peak time acid monster with mikes vocal chant in the style of his classic md3 projects. gerd is on remix duty here and delivers a killer remix with a more traditional chicago groove and build up. clone head honcho serge had some studio time with tyrell for a dub mix. the serge & tyrell dub mix turned out a bit wild and became a classic piece of piano and dx bass driven chicago house music with stuttering vocal samples and a acidic synth line. another strong clone jack for daze!

after a few months of releasing collaborative eps alongside sascha rydell and roman lindau, mike dehnert marks a quarter century of releases on his own label with fachwerk 25, a full-length album. comprised of 13 tracks and coming almost a year after his last effort, >framework< on delsin records, this new album sees mike experimenting somewhat. away from the dubbed out, functional and raw techno funk of his usual output, fachwerk 25 shows some concession to the album format, with more mysterious tracks of ambient buried amongst bits of acid, rave and plenty of unhinged sound design.

straight from buenos aires, brimful of sun, comes brouqades latest release. nina soul convinces with his intense, pulse-pumping house productions. pushed by an extremely funky vocal, >feel you< rolls in on a wave of gentle piano chords just to capture you entirely by concentrating on its crystal clear, cracking beat. >to me< interweaves smooth groove with finest old school elements, discretely tightening the track with acid vocals in the fill, to end up cool and relaxed, pouring out into balmy summerparty nights. in >try to pretend<, the dark, metallic sound encounters melancholy female memory on a sigh (well...). faster looks at the matter more pragmatically. in his remix, his focus on sound and mood creates a hypnotic track - entirely devoted to the dance floor and to the children of the night.

what is techno is the first single to be taken from techlegend in the makin florian meindls long awaited debut album waves (1-12)inch, due for release soon on his very own flash recordings. what is it techno? what is house? good question and its the doubt that drives you on the dancefloor. florians original is perfectly crafted deep groovy tech. a delicate melody belies the raw power, generated here by the growling bass and drum line. ramping up the filth factor and still riding high from the release of their second city ep are boys noizes, shadow dancer. matching detroit synths with sinister bubbling acid the manchester duo create a beast of a mix that also displays an equal amount of beauty.

apartments 3rd release comes courtesy of acclaimed producer lerosa. for this, his first release of 2012, he delivers 4 electro-based cuts, a rarely seen side to the man predominantly known for his house productions. the sparse and melancholic combat starts off proceedings, before titaniums throbbing bass, combined with mr. rosas unique melodic sensibilities, increases the pace. on the b-side slavery is a furious acid jam, constantly rising in energy over hectic percussion and a wall-shaking electro beat. finishing on decisions, the pace is reduced considerably while the acid stays intact, delivering the 12 inchs only 4/4 kick for what is lerosas most euphoric cut to date.

it is with great honour that in paradisum welcome sometime border community and traum schallplatten artist ricardo tobar into the label for the fourth chapter in our fledgling story. the esoteric/carnaval ep reveals four tracks that further showcase the chilean producers unerring grasp for electronic music that combines moments of introspection with the unshakeable urge to lose yourself in the moment.
tobar is extending this plunge towards all new uncompromising techno territory from various, equally engrossing angles. pitch the rough hewn mutant beat dance of >esoteric< next to fizzing, acid tainted textures of >recuerdos< or the grinding journey through dantes inferno that is >carnaval< and its easy to see why tobar has been accommodated into the in paradisum fold.

ltd red coloured vinyl edition... for this release, we have a very special cooperation to show off with: cassegrain & tin man ! cassegrain are greek-british producer alex tsiridis and berlin/vienna based composer and producer hüseyin evirgen. with a well developped sensitiveness the duo designs futuristic and dark techno sound- scapes with a strong experimental touch. tin man is another outstanding artist and the second half of this collaboration. with his releases on cheap records, global a and the sähkö-sub label keys of life he proved well, how easily he can switch between strong classic acid and abstract, postmodern songwriting. the tracks that resulted from this very special collaboration, are exactly what you might expect: an ideal and unique combination of modern dark techno as it comes from labels such as prologue or stroboscopic artefacts and classic acid. some of them aim directly at the dancefloor, some come along rather dreamy and spaced out. perfect for killekill.

stefan goldmanns adem finally brings a new concept of handling melodies to the world of house and techno. pushy synths tuned to arabian intervals, playfully pitch bent around one repeated note that sticks to the kick as if its life depends on it. its as if a parallel universes acid has been invented in some lunatic asylum in tirana. this primitive melody is as alienatingly synthetic as it is offensively brain-dissolving. in the hands of a dj, adem” is like the captagon formula in the hands of the bulgarian secret service: many deaths, big bucks. chalga, tallava, manele - call it anything. the b-side’s rigid chain is as detuned, yet strictly limited to a rogue off-beat bassline pumping in between metallic house drums. thats it.

berlin based daniel dexter is part of the new breed of producers showing us why theres still mileage in the good old house groove. his cultured, expressive productions have the mark of a true talent and mr. dexter has only just begun. the acid-revival lives on.storm is a heavy, late night tale of sax, e-piano and stomping synth basslines. growing from a filtered intro, its song like structure drives us into true reckless abandon - perfect for the darker moments of the night, but still oozy with funk and soul. the thick, percussive opening bars of there will be jazz lead to a focus on one of dexters chosen weapons - more jazzy saxophone samples and synthesized strings lift us into a musical crescendo of tension, yet theres a laid back, new york vibe to the track, which will no doubt get plenty of plays this summer. the mysterious murder is a darker affair, shrouded in rave-era stabs and a real pushing vibe. its clear that daniel is a dextrous (no pun intended) producer with plenty of tricks up his sleeve

with surprise cut on center ... after the success of the first release, tanstaafl returns for their second wax adventure, this time with the musical renegade dj october at the helm. october has entered a new phase of production for the tanstaafl series and has focused himself firmly on a reduced, stripped and effective formula for the floor. his productions are heavy, smoked out narcoleptic dub infused journeys, and his latest 12 offers more or less of the same opaque vibe but with his sights firmly set on the floor, with one foot in the past and the other in the future - drawing from his usual detroit, nyc and chicago influences. so we kick off 2012 with a future classic, singularity jump, which douses you in synthesized saxophone hooks, chopped vocal samples and a meaty juno hip-house inspired bass-line.planet of minds is more of a inner space affair very much inspired by acid and dub. successfully combining the two, october injects more of an airy feel into the mix and delivers a moody cosmic acid jam that will not fail your dancing feet or tripped-out mind. definitely one for the later hours.this is going to be an anthem, hands down, so get it before its gone for good.

aura go rises, opens, rouses not unlike a soft light growing to illumination, a day slowly revealing itself. synths whisper and ring out – like bells marking an early hour – at the start, followed by a succession of other awakenings: a palpitating beat, vocalizations that repeat like undulations, percussive poundings and ringings. it all leads to full on, acid-infused, dance floor hypnosis, with producer dennis dj mcnany pushing polyrhythmic, almost tribal beats to the very front. with the addition of husky vocals from collaborator jee young sim – imagine siouxsie sioux crossed with planningtorock – the sound becomes something altogether, and altogether unexpectedly, gorgeous.

in vier neuinterpretationen verschmilzt der tiefgründige charakter des aktuellen douglas greed albums krl mit dem groove ausgewählter produzenten. so erfährt das ohnehin bemerkenswert vielschichtige werk nochmals eine mitreißende erweiterung seines atmosphärischen klangspektrums. rundfunk3000 gestalten das experimentelle shiver mit ihren gut gelaunten beats und warmen instrumentierungen aus, wodurch der titel zum tanzen einlädt, ohne auf die verträumte stimme von sängerin delhia zu verzichten. auch der sentimentale gesang aus pain bleibt erhalten, acid pauli balanciert ihn jedoch gewitzt mit einem perkussiven cumbia-rhythmus und dessen südamerikanischem frohsinn aus. mollono.bass wiederum nutzt die emotionale kraft jener stimme für eine hypnotische, eskalierende, zum ende gar in zwitschernde acid-zitate ausufernde dancefloor-abfahrt. den abschluss bildet die akustische song-version von morning gloria aus dem studio von mooryc, ein atmosphärisches destillat des sinnlich-besinnlichen originals.

march sees the formidable hypercolour deliver its most surprising output yet, an ep from none other than groove armada. tom findlay and andy cato need little introduction as groove armada. chart smashes, huge live tours and being part of the worldwide electronic music history aside, the duo have never lost touch with their acid house roots and have continued to be devoted to record buying, djing and the much maligned promo trawl. tom and andy have been avid followers of the label it seemed, since its inception. it was through label head jamie, meeting the guys back in 2010 at space in ibiza, and then continued communication via hypercolour promos, that led to an out-of-the-blue email requesting an informal hook up in east london and, within just a few days, a release was scheduled. that release is the >no knock ep<, four tracks that range from 808 fuelled old school cuts to low slung, moog-bassd electronic funk. each sound is lovingly crafted but there is an analog rawness throughout and every track has the sort of tweaked, off-kilter and occasionally awkward vibe that hypercolour do so well. it just takes a bit of imagination to guess what a ga release on hypercolour should sound but failing that, just check the release out as it wont disappoint.
