anything eddie ruscha touches is generally worth checking, and this latest outing for lectric sands offshoot it’s a lectric world is no exception. ruscha kicks things off with the electric dub, an untypically funky fusion of his usual vivid psychedelics, exotic vocal samples, crunchy guitars and an undulating disco-rock groove. the original rub - all bubbling electronics, muted guitar licks and deep house warmth - adds a little balearic disco flavour, before ruscha returns to more familiar territory with the delay-laden and pleasingly out-there lectric dub. finally, he reaches for the marimbas on the pleasing dub, an afro-influenced blast of wide-eyed balearic sunshine complete with lilting pedal steel.

JELEN EP (VINYL ONLY)
12 Inch
12.12.14
2014 was a busy year for ztrl and tape hiss alike. we’ve been enjoying the support of numerous music-addicts, record collectors and djs for which we are massively grateful. this is exactly why we are going back to where it all started and bringing you a new ztrl release. the tracks which are featured on jelen (’now’ in english) ep work well on their own yet they form a cohesive sound when put together. each track on the release is universal as we can think of them as dj tools in a good sense or as slowly building independent compositions. it’s up only to the djs how they wish to use them.
INK 2 (WHITE VINYL)
Coloured 12 Inch
12.12.14
the second release of inkblots involves three great artists deeply active into the international techno scene: the japanese go hiyama and the berlin based duo i/y. on side a, go hiyama’s first track ‘recur’ delivers sinister atmospheres matched with a tough kick and industrial bleepy elements. slow and paranoic drones get in and out contributing to enlarge the sound perception. the second track ‘prop’ introduces elegant hi-hats and strident synths. a captivating kick perfectly embraces the shrill synths waving together with the sharp drum, what remains of the first side is just tense ambients, forewarning the journey is not over. side b smells like a dark club firing up, indeed i/y’s aim is not different at all. ’thesys 0000.001’ debuts with a thin bassline and distorted grave surroundings. the track evolves with clean slap hats sound in an empty echo chamber. deep timbres rise and fall, turning the entire route gently aggressive. the second track is an idm experiment which keeps a trippy approach and the clarity of claps and hi-hats. solid as the first one, ‘thesys 0000.003’ sets itself as an hypnotic but pleasant moment where suspicious fragments quickly appear and disappear: a sparkled trip to be enjoyed anytime but not by anyone.

hello. this is pastamusik speaking. for more then 10 years the munich based label issues with constant inconstancy special musical tales from the underground. and since not all stories told and not all songs played and yet not all cows have returned home, we are ready to add another chapter within this tradition. pastamusik proudly presents with “collage” by macchina nera it’s first long player. the talented munich based dj and producer macchina nera already draw some attention with his first release in 2005 (under a different alias). followed by several releases on different labels around the world he finally found a solid home base with pastamusik, that resulted in a number of successful releases. so it was a logic consequence in taking the next step and to compile the highlights from his last two years productions in his first album. munich meets munich. or even better – munich meets the world. then all of the sudden tracks of macchina nera became regulars in the sets of various djs around the globe. and this is where he starts with his first album and tells with his unique symbiotic style of house, disco, techno and funk little musical tales from the cities and it’s clubs, from all night dance, glimmering dancefloors and dark corners, from big love and big dramas…..even if it only lasts for one night. and as versatile and diversified like these nights are the consistently energetic tracks, full of unexpected turns and small details that make it worth to listen a little closer enough said for now, let the music speak for itself. the album will be available in vinyl, cd and digital release, available at real record stores as well as in the digital world of internet. here comes the soundtrack for spring, summer, autumn an of course for winter. timeless! beautiful!. thank you!.kisses! your pastamusik.
SPECLAZ / CROSSWORD (SMOKEY MARBLED VINYL)
Coloured 12 Inch
11.12.14
the opening track on this double sided gynltd series comes from hironori takahashi. speclaz displays sharp panned cymbals and sonics, underpinned by a pulsey rhythm and modulated organesque synths. the takaaki itoh remix is a deeper and more moody affair, albeit with a similar syncopated rhythm structure and some tasty modulated acidic synth stabs with filtered atmospherics. on the flip-side, myk derill s crossroads takes a turn for a more broken industrial rhythm with looped vocal chants holding it all together before breaking down into a washed out synth breakdown, then returning to the pre-emnent fat rhythm and vocalised stabs. finally track 4 sees philippe petit remix, with the artist opting for a very stripped back 4-4 hi-hats/percussive workout underpinning minimalistic modulated synth and gentle bassy offsets. the most tooled-up track of this ep.

top tier hawaiian disco boogie masterpiece available for the first time on 45. it took us 3 years to persuade nohelani cypriano to let us do *lihue* , a brilliant fairly obscure disco boogie track but if you are a fan and you keep trying your enthusiasm for the music pays off. not only are we are just delighted to present *lihue* on 7 for the first time (previously lp only) but to top it off the flip is a track from a very rare hawaiian 45 also by nohelani called *playing with fire*, which sounds like a party track straight out your favorite 80s film. i rate it, which means it is good! its like rare-groove scene all over again but with new records.

roger gerressen about his project >lunar phases< : -when thinking about the lights of the night the first thing that came to my mind was the moon. you look at it daily and we are all affected by it so much. since the project contains eight tracks and the moon travels through eight phases every month it seemed like an obvious choice to choose this subject for the lp. the first part of the lp is the >new moon<, when the people (and the music) are mellow and relaxed. the second part of the lp is darker, faster and more chaotic, which is more likely to be the effect a >full moon< has on people.-

the german saying *ist der ruf erst ruiniert, lebt man voellig ungeniert.*, meaning once your reputation is ruined, your life gets easy, sums up a lot about furfriend s artistic doing. *freedom of filth* lives tightly along those lines and throws its full force of lushness at you, growing into an empowering industrial monster that makes you want you to rip all clothes off your body. if jfk did it, so can you. if big room sound is too much for you and you miss the simplicity and pervy voice of dingo tush that made the duo famous, you will wanna follow their instructions for self appreciation and have a listen to *touch myself*, a trainlike fuckfest for the dancefloor. make sure to bring some lube! following is a short live recording from the *fuck olympics* ... we are just going to leave this uncommented here.
ABSORB / BUFF ZENKY (VINYL ONLY)
12 Inch
08.12.14
a new vinyl-only imprint,
* made in soho* with a double a-side from uk house maestro mr. g - a long-time friend who has supported the store for the last two decades.
the a-side starts with a driving beat, over which sultry chords hang and build. the introduction of a spirited vocal loop gives the track a more melancholic feel, all underpinned by a great bassline that ensures the track never loses its soul, depth and funk. on the flip, * buff zenky* heads into much tougher territory. the track builds with thumping kicks and those trademark * g* hats, along with a chopped vocal, tight looping bass and swinging claps. a sparse but highly effective layered synth completes a cold-blooded package - perfect for those late nights and early mornings. an excellent first release for made in soho, displaying a thoroughly current approach whilst never forgetting the deep, soulful veins that run through its racks.

parrish smith s debut of dystopic forbidding sets the tone of this label s impressive first release with a superb stark, acid ridden slab of body music. helena hauff adds to the proceedings with her remix of pankows >das vodkalied< taking no prisoners and using heavy percussion in contrast to a wonderfully tense set of arpeggiations, which all descend into skull crushing pressure. carrying over to the flip side are pankow, pioneers of the italian industrial/ebm scene, with two tracks from their legendary first tape -throw out rite- from 1983. with das vodkalied disembodied vocals are cut up and come from every direction driven by a raw, off-kilter energy and pounding beat. i m food for you cranks up the drive and anxiety to create a killer track based around stark arpeggiation. last of all, perseus traxx provides an acidic stripped down venting of frustrations which he spits out with vehemence.

long established detroit talent keith worthy traverses a fine line between deep, bumpy house and raw techno on his debut double album, the price of non-conformance. t.p.o.n.c. is a conceptual project that takes you on a virtual walk through the streets of detroit. from a musical standpoint, the sound and feel of t.p.o.n.c. aligns with worthy’s own dna, a complex blend of house and techno, and all while incorporating a degree of fantasy into every composition. always striving to create his own path, and never allowing everyone else’s “norm” to become his influence, worthy really excels in this long player format. in total, t.p.o.n.c. consists of 14 tracks (including 8 songs and 6 interludes) all crafted to convey a vision of what non-conformance looks and sounds like. t.p.o.n.c. has range, from the boom-bap of the drums to the unorthodox patterns and key structures, this project evokes a sense of individualism that often gets lost in todays modern world of musical proliferation. in true detroit fashion, and in tandem with the spirit of aesthetic audios own mantra, t.p.o.n.c. maintains, the rule is there are no rules.

just over a year ago hot creations sub-label hottrax released the massive puke it up from waff. making their debut on the label, mannheim natives bunte bummler follow up with a monster of a release, the purple talk ep. here they deliver three tech-house bombs directed straight at the peak time dancefloor. solid basslines, vocal snippets, sonic layers followed by hypnotic yet trippy fx, infectious melodies and ounces of energy make this an essential release for any record bag.purple talk is being heavily championed by jamie jones, richy ahmed, lee foss & patrick topping.
after the success of their first release charmin are back with another high quality wax. this offering showcases the talents of florist and close friend of the imprint tilman, all pressed up on heavyweight vinyl with a lovingly designed cover. the ep kicks off with “proof nothing” which is a statement of intent. deep, churning piano chords overlaid with delayed vocal samples all underpinned with a solid beat and deep bass. next up “raw” does exactly what it says on the tin. this is a stripped down thumper with crunchy claps and an infectious groove. “once again” has a looser, more percussive feel to it with machine gun snares rattling off overt the top of a killer chord line. bringing things to a close is “mood swings” which builds brooding atmospheres and eerie vocal snippets. all in all this ep carries on the good work of this exciting new label. charmin continues its journey to bring you uncompromising, underground house music of the highest order.
