after the echocord jubilee compilation we are now back with a new artist on echocord. we welcome sasu ripatti aka vladislav delay from finland. sasu is known from many projects, like luomo and from the moritz von oswald trio. now that sasu have the quartet where he can fully search for the acoustic music and jazz-influences and beyond, the vladislav delay solo stuff will be again focused on electronic experiments. these 2 tracks give a light on where the project is heading. something old, something new. the remix is from no one else than ricardo villalobos and max loderbauer.

this new reference on dilek records is something very particular and out of the ordinary. it was achieved after a long period of work in the studio, which lasted three years and was done with a lot of heart and passion. its the 10th vinyl release of this surprising swiss/argentinean label who is now presenting an extremely multicultural project. these productions are full of diversity and humanity, telling the story of an unusual encounter that led to a beautiful musical project with many influences, but mainly focused on the dancefloor, without complexes and far away from the purism.

in all the thea rooms, the meeting centers for alcoholics russians and the blogs of the sapareted nations of the wikirebels were wondering where anton and maxim truly ended up. perhaps non all were aware of wap happened in moscow after the big heat of the summerr 2010. used to the polar cold also the computers ad all the electronic comunications took a moment to reflect, closing, in a natural obligation and right to silent. but this does not apply to scsi-9. the guys have to work with dedication and long care, clear, relaxed. do things well means knowing how to wait, as tasting a fine wine, smooth. in this the cold couple births their new mood in two beautiful tracks and perceives new exchanges of high level with john tejada and pablo bolivar. two thin encouters of arte and culture, where pablo silken and john point- blank reveal a tick record, impeccable. john bounces our breath trough harmonic turns and chorns that transforms the original track in a new roaring engine and well-calibrated, with an unforgettable ending. pablo enters the tunnel of sound to cover/wrap in a soft and comfortable limbo, more visionary than ever. deep that becomes contemporary is ready. only 500 copies distributed on the planet.

its an exciting time for idle hands, as the fledgling label mutates into a many headed musical beast. after the bristol record shop rooted records sold its last chunk of wax late last year, idle boss chris farrell has carried the torch and opened the idle hands store on stokes croft in bristol city centre. just as the shop highlights idle hands dedication to its hometown, this latest release on the label marks the first time the music has come from outside the city limits. szare will probably not be a name familiar to many, having covertly established himself on the lauded horizontal ground label, basking in the stamped white label anonymity of deep, troublesome 4/4. now with this release and his syndrom z label, the producer steps just a little into the light to expose his unique abstractions on swung techno. >volya< ploughs a sparse and percussive furrow, while >action five< boasts a wistful, dreamlike melodic bent to leave you with two distinctly different, but equally enthralling cuts.

this time mr raoul k not only wants you to dance - he wants you to go crazy on the dancefloor. in his well known way he crafts a relentless groover that sends everyone on the floor into the higher state of concsciousness called trance. he layers track upon track and builds a solid grooving base…. for the balafon. a handmade percussion instrument not unlike a marimba that gives guinean music its characteristic flavor. the vocal loop on top draws you deep into the vortex of nested percussion, african melodies und thick baselines. thistrack will never let you go - like moebius band. its main theme will stay in your head for a very long time. it will shake your hips after you left the dancefloor. and it will escort you on your way home after youve left the club. maybe it even serves as a lullaby after a long night out. already tested by Âme with stunning results.

a year after the initial digital release heres the long awaited nugget for all the vinyl lovers: d-pulse >velocity of love< with the new richer sound and the additional vinyl-only remixes. after a lot has been said about the original track and hot toddys mix (which was recently licensed for the ministry of sounds >late night sessions< compilation) these two new remixes resting on the side b are definitely worth to be mentioned. mario basanov (hailing from lithuania) really surprised us all with his musical thinking and a fresh point of view on the original track and also - by finishing such a quality mix in only 3 (!) days. the second mix that finishes off the ep was done by the new name from izhevsk - andrew starodumov aka eclectic sound (previously featured on our >obscured by the machines< compilation). his mix is a nice background for coastal chilling under the soft evening sunbeams. enjoy

in 2010, when we started to revitalise the tresor label, we reached out to some of the greatest artists, not just in tresors history, but in techno. late 2010 we sat down in a paris cafe, just off the pompidou centre, with jeff mills, on a rainy, otherwise unremarkable and miserable day. but on this day we were given two very strong pieces of advice. >hire a fanastic a&r and sign sleeparchive<. so here we are, an artist that has been on the underground radar of the hacker, miss kittin and richie hawtin makes his debut on tresor records with >ronan point<. >the tracks developed from parts and loops i had created for my live set and always wanted to make tracks from. after a little break i took with the sleeparchive project the record for tresor was a great opportunity to make these tracks.< sleeparchives live sets have graced the dance floors and sound systems of berghain, arena club and bloc weekend, so it is fair to say that the 4 tracks that make up ?ronan point are not just tried and tested, but actually born on the dance floor. >> press: dj magazine techno single of the month.

founded in 2007 by julien henry (synths & vocals) & marc aumont (bass & vocals), rafale got the meters in overdrive right from the start. they played festivals after festivals (les trans musicales, les découvertes du printemps de bourges, astropolis, art rock...) & stood out thanks to inflammatory shows in which raw rock power melts with rapturous clubbing rave. after the release of two eps (rock it, dont stop itt - excessively blogged - & drive, one of year 2009’s best videos according to french magazine les inrocks) & with the support of the media, this double act grew to a trio when franck richard joined on the drums to work on a third ep produced by arnaud rebotini (blackstrobe):eraser. today rafale releases its brand new 12 inch produced by arnaud rebotini, everglades.

it really is a great pleasure for exclusive to welcome back jef ks wonderful silver network label with their latest single from, valentin feat. the morvans. valentins electronic musical heritage stretches back to the early days of rave. as a wide eyed and open minded 18 year old he became hooked and soon immersed himself in the ever evolving culture. in the early 90s he worked for bpm, the very first underground parisian record store and it was here that he built a vast knowledge of the exciting us labels and producers. by the end of the 90s valentin was a regular on the dj and after-hours circuit, but as the rapidly developing >french touch movement< began to make its mark, it was time to find new inspiration

big with: adam beyer: >..summer anthem!< , joseph capriati, samuel l session, davide squillace, danny howells, sian, karotte, laurent garnier, joel mull, marco bailey, sebrok, gregor tresher, diesel, alan fitzpatrick, ... with barely a breath after dmb004 comes another exclusive release from alexander kowalskis new label damage music berlin. the 1 inch >random pleasure< is the work of swiss electronic music dj, composer and producer david durango. in his numerous releases (pokerflat & mescene records) durango balances between deep and dark grooves to melodious and quirky dub vibes: here he oscillates between both levels. starting with the title track, the structure reveals consciously tight and multi-layered percussive hooks under the blanket of a substantial, dreamy bassline. the addition of a subtle, melancholic vocal sample ensures hypnotic effect. >ambivalus< walks right into a rather old school vibe, gathering strength with ever-increasing, spiraling keyboard stabs reminiscent of earlier rave eloquence that compels certain dancefloor revelry. the flip side sees the title track remixed by kowalski who treats the matter with his vivacious bite, stretching the voice, injecting a warbled fuzz bass and after a sublime break, enlarges the work to infectious dance dimensions. respected frankfurt artist patrick lindsey (terminal m & funkwelle) remixes the track additionally: he dissects the vocals, keeping the bass and keyboards minimally tight and sharply symmetric for a very mesmerizing treatment.

italian techno heavyweights markantonio and rino cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is junction hands. revolution is back is the first full release under the junction hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent the napoli connection ep on adam beyers drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet. the title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but its the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive. the equally hypnotic and driving thing for hands follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of noise while the groove relentlessly works its magic. with junction hands theres yet another must-check name coming out of the neapolitan scene.

unos second release comes from montreals jacques greene. in his north american debut, we bring you two new tracks that reveal a darker, acid housed side of the lauded producer. lay it down unites bass swing with a floor shaking acid line thats known to make rooms dance like autism. new york house standards whatever/whatever give the flip side a jacking make over of 90s proportions. the hard hitting >what are you feelin< (which has been received much uk in the past year, including mary ann hobbs bbc show) finishes off the 12 inch, builds up the grand finale, after which you might find yourself in a puddle of something wet, wondering where greene went.
