psych-y, droning disco aces from birminghams free school duo, backed with mark e and nutaike remixes. coming from a similar angle as caribou or four tet, >unravelling after the lottery< layers droning, almost noisy synths over bass-loaded kicks in a trippy cosmic disco miasmah sure to shock the dance.
mark es remix tames the drones for a more heads-down, molasses jacker arranged with his hypnotic evolutions.

>echoes are fragments from the past which follow us into the future.<11 years after its first release, this sentence has proven to be the perfect slogan for this timeless masterpiece by alexander kowalski.

andras toth is not a nu-school producer. please refrain from adding up-and-coming to his biography. he has arrived. with his second full solo-ep on alphahouse records, he presents a varied and captivating look into the mind of an accomplished musician. following the success of his previous works on the label, his debut >us< and the collaborative ep >futures< with boss-man butane, >would u?< is a trip through improvisational jazz, open-air sunrises, and sonic after-hours explorations. herein lies real music, nothing formulaic, nothing safe. the ep embodies an ethos, held by alphahouse, that musicianship is about originality, not following trends. there is still much that remains good in the world of independent electronic dance music. we will continue to search for, and find it.

sonic underground compiles remixes by the ccc family of up-and-coming indie artists – four floor-ready, mutant hybrids of rock, pop, disco and deep house. belgian firebrand mugwumps rework of cccs own acid snow transforms the acid/no-wave original into a disco-house monster thats earned accolades from the likes of ewan pearson and magda. ivan smagghe calls the remix a no-nonsense record. while some look for experimental arty-ness, some for the big hit, all of this pretending to be underground, mugwump pull out of their sleeves what is properly hard to achieve, a cool big track.in a similar way, the rest of sonic underground explores new combinations of arty edginess and mass appeal. mack winston & the reflections see their swaggering glam-rock transformed by ccc into a deep back-room sex jam thats getting support from the wolf + lamb crew and is featured on soul claps compilation cd for mixmag in february. the flipside highlights remixes by cccs own night plane: with its atmospheric guitar and emo vocals, his take on presssures sounds like if the cure ever showed up on crosstown rebels, and his re-design of fellow new yorker baby alpaca is a dreamy k-hole lullaby, with blissed-out melodies that make it an after-hours snuggle classic.

a product of his surroundings, wasserfall creates organic, electronic music using an array of tools - including a nord modular g2x, a roland tr 909, a roland sp 404 sampler & an apogee ensemble – but dont think for one minute that its all about the gear, and that he is just a technical producer. field recordings feature heavily in his work, and you can often find him patrolling the streets of oslo or berlin hunting for the perfect sound that will convey his ideas within the piece. anders is just as at home creating scores for film as he is producing rhythms for the dance floor, during his time in berlin he created a contemporary soundtrack of the old russian silent-fim classic a man with a movie camera (dziga vertov 1929) which was performed live in berlin, bremen and in bergen. after all this is said and done, the e.p boils down to just one thing - house music for the heads. nothing lightweight, just the heavy goods. long time coming on vinyl, dont miss out on the result of a year of work getting it just right, if you managed to bag the previous #gcw vinyl you know we take absolute pride in our output. a strictly limited pressing. mastered to 180g vinyl by the one & only john dent @ loud mastering.

moving away from their minimal approach to techno found in their first productions, the cologne based duo raucherecke now show us theirn affection for dancefloor driven music with the >papierfabrik ep<, named after the famous cologne warehouse club.

it has been a while since alex showed up with a follow up on credo, but as you know, good things do not only last for a while, they also require some time to be finished and this result is more than worth to wait for! hollywood bullet might remind you on some classic trackss essence and it kicks of impressively however, the real >go< follows after huuuge breaks and now its your turn to free the animals on the dancefloor with this weapon that contains not only plenty of energetic basslinesounds, but also load of colors which could be missed these days on often very monotonous technoproductions. alex is not afraid of bringing colors, and not only shades on credo, and so does heartattack: a really weird and unexpected groove on 120 bpm only, even kind of housy, but the upbuilding rythmic noises bring the track back to where it comes from, and this is nothing else as pure bassic energy. very very big release in our eyes!

supportet by: richie hawtin, joy kitikonti , siopis, bjoern larsen, dean newton, rene bourgeois, nudisco, dr. motte, axel bartsch and many more!

so after the elusive triumph of our first release finally came firmly into our grasp, we at sequencias here in new york thought it was time to take things in a parallel direction without retracing our steps. drafting three top names in underground deep house for a label debut is no mean feat, but how do you follow up on a surprise coup like that? we thought it was time to go even deeper, and we couldnt think of a better way of doing that than getting an experienced player to unveil a new alias for our second offering. things being as they are, weare trying to keep it a bit low here, but what we can let you know is that his discography stretches back to 2005 and that he has appeared on the illustrious bunker records. this should give you a good idea of what to expect: deeper-than-deep, dirty, and gritty house that jacks with the best the movement has to offer. we have to say that orpheus firmly delivers here, and we hope you will be as pleased as we are with the three dark and introspective offerings he unveils for his new project here at sequencias.

after long years of work the author of unique and successful albums shallow and profound (2000) & splendid isolation (2005) is back with his new long-player, passive control, which is considered to be the third, closing part of the trilogy. passive control is another typical contradictory, multilayered yonderboi title that can be explained in different ways. one of them refers to the constantly changing and unpredictable economical/social situation of today, which is witnessed by most of us inertly, hoping that this recession-thing gets sorted out soon.

after two smoldering releases on figure & spc, roberto bosco is back for his third offering for len fakis spc imprint. a future-classic 4 track techno ep, with more than enough to keep the peak time floors happy, this is big room music at its most intelligent and sensitive. easing us into the thick of it, charming noise takes humming, rumbling bass tones and a metallic clang as its themes. slow burning and readily effective, its a brooding monster for the late hours. i just cant breathe pushes the adrenalin up a few notches in a screaming, white noise attack on the senses. boscos trademark heavy bass rumble and crisp percussion layers hold their own in this reduced killer. were then ready to embark on an emotional voyage as the masterful see the light emerges from the depths with its pushing acid bass and beautiful atmospheric melody. classic strings and synths swirl and build in a tender and heartfelt piece of timeless techno. closing the ep, i was lonely takes the vibe into more reduced, after-hours zones with robertos cool and low-slung take on the smoother sound of futuredeep house.

after 7 years of staying out of the limelight, mille & mr.hirsch (playhouse, newpolish, r.a.n.d. musik and much more!) are back with new material. the new imprint owes its name to a group of berlin artists called apollo krieg who produce fashion, artworks and whacky installation art. with berlin as their base, mille & mr.hirsch hang around & see much of their work influenced by the work of this group and decided to name it after this group of artists – true to the motto: nowadays the guys from apollo krieg also produce music. side a: (apollo/alpha) golden age is the classical, heart-warming, romantic and seemingly never-ending deephouse epic which finds its place somewhere between detroit house, balearic, jazz and funk. it is always a tad larger than life and opulent in harmony and melody but, with due to its well-defined instrumentalization, it seems somehow traditional. this track has a 9-minute arc of suspence and is devoid of any drum-machine orgies and razzle-dazzle a unique piece of shit!side k: (krieg/kokain) kinky love is a bit more modern, with more track, less melody and less music. the mix of strong samples (e.s.p./kinky go) with slightly dark and deep functional track make this 8-minute track a potential floorfiller! best regards apollo krieg berlin

organs of love are the power-sleaze duo of james mckinven (organs, love) and alicia matthews (vocals, love). james mckinvens musical odyssey started with playing synth in (kraftwerk, suicide-inspired) electro band berlin blondes. he then moved on to altered images. after that he worked in genetic studios learning from the modern day genius that was producer martin rushent (human league, the stranglers, the buzzcocks). then went on to form one dove and worked with maverick genius andy weatherall. after that he drifted back to where it all started, analog electro, and miss alicia matthews. alicia matthews has quite a different background – one from fine art and performance. through working together at the same bar and having many intoxicating late night chats, they decided to try to get back to a 70s theatrical, musical performance: where live music and art combine for something beyond the rock gig vibe. and luckily enough, miss matthews has quite the pair of pipes – a true vocal delight. the result is organs of love … who frequently perform live around glasgow and have quite the reputation of thee band to see. videos can be provided, but they are not for the faint-hearted! not that optimo music ever provide a dull moment …

one year ago digitaline has released raouls very first release. it has been one of their most successful eps so far and both tracks instantly found their audience and brought raoul onto the main floors of the entire world, where it still stands confortably one year later. so what better than to celebrate one year of the label and welcome digitaline back home? same format: two tracks of deep techno, fat grooves and aerial melodies made for the dance floor. almost made on the dance floor. true! digitaline’s sound is always very inspired by their live performances and with those two tracks the boys wonderfully managed to transpose the best of their live skills, energy and dynamic. before finally being released here, both tracks have been played live on many floors throughout 2011, adjusted slowly set after set to touch every soul listening. a-side neon is a massive groove infecting the entire track through long breaks, while synth strings generate waves of tension in the piece. b-side comet is build around a big round bassline and concret noises that give the track its organic motion. the melodies of the track seem to come out of a fairy tale, dreamy arpeggios that defy the laws of gravity.

from celle into the wide world: these days guido schneider is one of the major globetrotters among djs and producers worldwide, but he began his career 15 years ago in provincial germany. however, instead of baking bread rolls, schneider founded his own label neue welten right from the beginning. it was a move that naturally brought him to the capital of electronic music in berlin. what followed was a series of exciting and successful collaborations with other renowned artists, and after dissolving his label, schneider began travelling as a sought after dj, jetting all around the globe. it is little wonder that such a reputable dj and producer also belongs to the diverse highgrade family. he has now produced another ep for the berlin label which brings us the typical guido schneider qualities right before our eyes, or even better: before our ears! the two tracks navigate precicely from the first bar, the minimal sound universe that relies on elaborate percussion, without ever being over produced, and flow into fantastically harmonic vocals that lend the thumping beats an elegant softeness. simply stated, typically schneider.

highly recommended! marieu comes back with an amazing solo e.p. on his own label enlightened wax after the worldwide success of his first work, heavily played by the most appreciated underground djs. as usual, this record has been written, mixed and produced only on dusty machines and recorded on juicy magnetic tape. the opening track, >ancient times< is a capturnig fat deep house track with a subtle female chant and space-station pads a2, >heat eninges< is build on an heavy ground shaking bass, a wagging latin piano riff. big claps, and sharp cymbals. funky and relentless, its just an essential choice for every swingin dj. on side b,>radiant< develops on a solid bass drum a filtered house groove making a breach to a charming jazzy piano and a blues voice. a complete feeding for every hungry dancefloor b2, >spectrum<begins with a dark hypnotizing groove enlightened in the middle of the track by an uplifting motorcity pad. striking and suggestive.

next up on nang, we have the long awaited full-length from nu-disco hero and synth aficionado, andy meecham. the release sees meecham step away from his revered emperor machine monkier to create something conceptual and truly visceral, yet still retaining those signature grooves and rich tones we all know and love. the aptly titled monophonic volume 1 is a synth purists dream. each track has been crafted on a single classic synthesizer (and named after it!), giving each piece its own identity and sense of time and place, referencing landmark moments in the history of music technology from the east and west

lukes angers big set opening tune gets a release ! limited 10 inch format... after receiving huge feedback as an opener for lukes recent livesets, warble tone finally makes it onto wax! promos of warble tone have since been picked up and rinsed by across the board djs such as kanji kinetic, kid606, warlock, billy nasty, jerome hill, michael forshaw to name but a few. quaint samples of a english gentleman telling you how to set up your hi-fi equipment, juxtapose over a driving bassline, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the wobble bass so prolific in todays dance music. flip for the b-side and flooglebinder for some serious dirty bass-driven techno, anger-style! this one is for the big soundsystems, tried and tested!

pop will eat itself (they took the name from a feature in the nme) was formed in 1986 and became one of the most well-known grebo-acts before changing their style to alternative dance and industrial rock. in 1996 they disbanded the group and each of the bandmembers concentrated on solo projects before shortly reforming the band in 2005 to play some shows. these gigs were notable from their instant double live albums which were available only ten minutes after the gigs. in july 2011, graham crabb announced a new line-up with him as the only original member.
