newly remastered audio, pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl, download code included.

after releases on lobster theremin and opal tapes, u.k based techno experimentalist manse releases the first 12” on his own imprint - mns. “cymbal shudder” is a three track exploration into the realm of drum heavy, blown out techno. distorted percussive sequences clatter above a red lining low end and swampy electronic ambience. compiled of chaotic jumbled elements, the outcomes are merged together and run straight on to reels of withered tape.

a lurching broken beat and detuned technicolour chords drive the title track, an ode to the ‘nocturnal’ raves happening in his hometown as a kid. caraiba is a hypnotic percussive workout, switching and snapping around it’s four-four palette and underpinned with a swaggering bass line. loop-finding (4jo) rounds out the ep with scattered beats on top of a chopped and filtered sample of a rare-groove track, a fleeting but emotive sign-off for after hours listening.

welcome again mister oscar mulero. after releasing an original on our compilation, now is time for a new ep. elementary geometry ep comprises 2 original tracks and 2 remixes from lewis fautzi.

after five well-respected digital releases with the likes of frazer campbell and iuly.b, munster/berlin based onegroove records drops its first vinyl release with 3 friendly minimal groovers. very playful rimshot madness by iuly.b on side a, floegel and retza keeping it dubby on the flipside.

jimpster s much loved eel pie island track first graced the coveted 10 years of systematic compilation from last year. now, after widespread love, label boss marc romboy has commissioned a set of remixes to give the track an extra lease of life for the coming summer months. the originals, locomotive esque, slow-mo jam is taken on first by keinemusik main-man and cocoon favourite adam port. the german brings techno and minimal sensibilities to the fore but with extra tempo and swing. a mid tempo beat drives the track as atmospheric flourishes and nuanced samples create a lighter and breezier feel. an added vocal adds a hazy dose of ethereal pleasure, as adam creates another slice of musical magic. fresh from his objektivity release, hyenah offers a version of eel pie island that brings a chiming, plonking vibe, wood block percussion and bongos, all fluctuating in a sea of tribal beats, deep house and delicious sub bass. another triumph for systematic.

• and finally make their full perc trax debut !
• features full printed jacket
• dj feedback to follow
• berlin / manchester noiseniks and finally make their full perc trax debut after first appearing on the label in 2014 when they served up a suitably screw-faced remix of drax s phosphene . now regarded as one of the most uncompromising production outfits on the european techno scene they widen their musical vision across these four tracks without leaving behind the raw aesthetic and driving energy that has characterised their music and their live performances over the last few years. from the kind of straight up 4/4 pounders that have made the closing slot at electric deluxe s awakenings events their own, to experiments with off-kilter drums and caustic noise this ep is as good a statement of and s present and future as you ll hear all year.

after 3 releases on tresor records, this collaboration between roman poncet and dj deep comes out on deeply rooted.

after going beatless around the bush with wilson tanners stunning 69, growing bin leave the swan river behind for their sixth release, heading east from their hamburg home to sample the coastal calm of krynica morska. and who better to show them the sights and sounds of idyllic poland than ptaki co-pilot the phantom a.k.a. bartosz kruczy&#324,,,,ski, flying solo here with a sump -tuous score for long sunsets and lapping waves.

sebastian mullaert is of course first of all known as half of minilogue, a duo so influential in the hypnotic field of techno that korg recently named a synthesizer after them. lately, sebastian has focused on his solo path under the wa wu we moniker, releasing stripped back and personal music on his own wa wu we label, the cryptic s.e.l.f label and now on kontra-musik. on the title track travellers, sebastian mullaert uses a straight up techno formula that may surprise listeners who haven t followed his move into wa wu we territory. you almost get the impression sebastian buried a recording destined for a rigid techno label in a deep forest back in the 90 s and has now decided to uncover it again, finding that the track has matured under the black soil.

tzusing returns to l.i.e.s. with his third and (final?) name out of place ep after two now sought after percusors leading up to this one. again we are not disappointed as the massive opener face of electric hits hard taking a typical breakbeat formula and adding some sort of bizarre ritualistic element like the zulu nation or george kranz in a ceremony at a steel factory. emotional eater slows the tempo down, but again the machines grind hard with tinges of acid, heavy rhythms and sparse vocals moving in and out, while the closer r is a stripped down beater made for mixing. top stuff from the in demand producer.

a certain level of soulful expression can be reached only when stars align correctly up there as well as down here. once in a while a new track comes along that fools you into thinking you are listening to some lost re-discovery from the catacombs of american soul. the first release on timmion records new stylart imprint should leave a lasting mark on all friends of quality soul balladry. -love can last forever- by the enigmatic fred is the tune that will turn your heart to the love side whether you hear it at the end of a heavy club night, gripping on the wood grain wheel, or leaning on the bars of the penitentiary. who is fred then, you might ask. suffice to say he is a complicated man, who possesses a buttery falsetto and the rare power to turn banal testimonies of heartache and love into cathartic magic. this basically means he has soul, and we don t state this lightly here at timmion. after his first release, there are a few other heaters lined up, so be prepared for fred, his star is rising.

4 tracks of spaced-out, moody, atmospheric, detroit-techno-style tracks. * verged*, originally released on aesthetic audio (detroit) gets a remix by tangs alter ego, obsolete music technology after being dropped in omts live set in the past year.

fourth release from parisian label unlearn. after celebrating european talents with previous v/a : four shades, aurèle & caseer are back on us soil with chicagoan artist g. marcell. the title track hails towards the housier side of things. vocals sung by the artist, moody melody and a-1 production skills make ‘@ noon’ a serious summer groover. the rayne dub mix stands on the more melancholico-techno side of things with cleaver drum programing, proper bassline action and straightforward dance-floor material. the flipside shows a more experimental side of things with sound thought, an acidic trip full of haunting strings and cowbell awkwardness, and groov spin, a dazzling tune halfway between celestial unpredictability and caribbean bliss.

disdat is the new brainchild of new york s infamous underground party, resolute. for their first release, they showcase three different sonic interpretations of their iconic warehouse mornings that stretch out far into the afternoon. leading the release is s.a.m. (of oscillat and delpahine notoriety) with the aptly named brooklyn nights a driving track made for the dancefloor, with its acid-tinged bassline complimented by s.a.m.s trademark emotionality. french duo zendid provide the pulsating ws3, whose scattered kick drum underlines euphoric and fluttering elements. matthew burton & bangladesign, together as mikisderek, bring the release to a close with the subtle and introspective-sump1, as equally suited for the beginning of a night as the early morning after

after successful two releases hoxton records is back with yet another va compilation featuring equally talented three producers from romania. zefzeed has been behind the decks for over 10 years and producing since 2009. in 2013 he was signed with bodyparts records and started working with vinyl only record labels. cosmjn & lizz duo work speaks for itself as it has already amassed the support from petre inspirescu, barac, new zau and sepp. these guys are extremely talented and produce the tracks with inspiring harmonies. bucharest based producer direkt is a hidden gem. being the youngest producer on hoxton records label, he is definitely the one to watch. this vinyl only release is showcasing the artist that are creating the music worth collecting.

songs without words, suggestive and emotional transparency and connection, contemplation and departure, meditation and attack: this music fascinates from the very beginning. it has no need to boast or become talkative, but stays true to itself as it casually develops its poignant pulse and lets it grow, and grow. the web of sounds soon begins to radiate from within, it inspires images in ones head, and invites to musing and introspection. against the background of a wide horizon the details of their music join, develop a life of their own, and lift off to collective flights of ideas. this music is an invitation to listen without prejudice, offering a way to get lost in dreams while, at the same time, remaining solidly grounded and completely awake.

after coming with a pretty great electronic soft jazz number on the first release, distant works begins to define the mission behind the label with the second offering-a synth, italo-esque 5-cut ep that would only come from somewhere in the netherlands these days. the label bosses are clearly up to go to distant places to deliver the sounds. it s a very impressive statement and raises our interest on future releases.

for the second bad barbie records vinyl release of 2016 we are more than exited to bring you the magnificent work from the bla bla music owner daniel sanchez with his impromptu ep. here we have four amazing pieces where each one tells a different history. the first one pearled into droplets saw the light after a great live jam and the result is combination of several layers of base elements with subtle minimalistic articulations. these, in combination of the bass and synths lines do create a truly amazing micro house piece. the second one vague, is an atmospheric dub were a single synth chord raises in slowly, followed by a very subtle kick and bass line to set a bit of rhythm to the whole thing, creating a superb dreamy vibe while the chords do their thing with delicate reverbs and delays in the backend. a great musical piece indeed. for the third track we have yi, again another amazing micro house jewel born from a live jam, but this one is even more energetic than the first one and it also includes, besides a rocking bass line, analog synth chords that lifts up the mood during specific moments, which also do their part articulating themselves perfectly with some occasional twisted vocals that helps create an amazing party vibe from beginning to end. and if this wasn t enough we also have bedroom stories vocal tool that daniel included with his delivery, which can help spice up a dj set with ease.

although the artist has spent 2015 honing the discographies of his other projects, “ravers” comes after a silent year for the d. carbone moniker which in turn gives it all the more impact. the “class of ‘87” dj and producer’s first mini-album is dedicated to everyone interested in the ecstatic sounds of 90’s rave culture. on “ravers”, d. carbone distances himself from the functional perception that techno indicates a fairly narrow tempo range. instead, he approaches it more freely by returning to earlier formulations.
