"all djs and producers around have at least one secret weapon to play. this series curated by marvin & guy is the equation that joins together very special edits from very special artists. it will be out in three volumes in different colours: first black, second grey and third white. the equation series are being released exclusively on vinyl, a limited edition of 300 copies; no digital formats will be released, and distributed by kompakt. with equation 2 the a-team is back and they have changed players for this second half. this time they bring along the mexican outlaw hippie, a danish who learnt how to build beats better than lego, as well as the only irish keener on music than in beer. and the last player is a man who abandoned the euro dance hits of the 90’s to play basketball in peru."

moscoman continues his treisar journey with the stunning snake & pygmy ep.
on the a side lies the gorgeous trance inducing snake in a hat, an uplifting intergalactic voyage gliding through layers of synths, twinkling piano notes and melancholic melodies that skilfully progresses into pure bliss.
on the flip, the pace slows down with pirate of the lost ark. this dark mesmeric number features moscoman’s signature gritty bass style, rolling snare drums and swirling synths all mantled in mind bending effects.
the bpm rises again on the closing track forget the rest, an irresistible amalgam of dreamy keys and rumbling drums, punctuated by a catchy electronic funk.
snake & pygmy is the second of twelve releases for moscoman’s treisar label.

“spiritual jazz 7: islam - esoteric, modal and progressive jazz inspired by islam 1957 - 1988”, songs ancient and divine - the seventh volume of our acclaimed spiritual jazz series examines the influence and impact of islam on four decades of jazz innovation.

for our third release with vinyl we have 3 originals from g.u.s and a remix from romar. g.u.s bring us 3 house tracks all of which have wicked drums and groovy basslines, infused with chord pads and synths stabs. romar’s remix has a more powerful 909 style dub feel, with a huge sub bass and kick that will make the walls rattle.

our favorite detroit producer and friend luke hess is back on echocord colour with a 3-track bomb. all tracks are super powerfull dubby spaced out techno with the typical luke hess feeling, deep and melodic. luke hess is a dj & producer from detroit. he has celebrated eps out on omar s fxhe, carl craigs planet-e, echocord, echocord colour, finale sessions, kontra- musik, & modelisme. his label deeplabs is the center for his own deeply personal projects.

joining our label for the 4th release are dan andrei and kozo, under their collaboration named ak41, a fructuous project that offers three highly complex tracks.
on the a side you can find “icebreaker” solely, an eccentric sound with a steady bassline, percussive kicks, tripping shakers and a thoughtful, mysterious melody that touches all the frequencies of your body. turning to the b side we find “swingenious”, a groovier interpretation produced by a combination of spacey feelings and sophisticated instruments that will move every bone on the dancefloor. closing the ep is “in memoriam”, a melancholic version that is not short of an aggressive bassline, ambiguous vocals and deep introspects, all aligned to disconnect you from the reality of routine.

detobeat. are linus booth, gene kouzouka, chris macintyre and todd nickolas. music written and produced by linus booth, chris macintyre and todd nickolas. lyrics written and performed by gene kouzouka.

monologue is a brand new label founded by the altavoz creator max d. blas and the producer and kosmophono label owner alex piccini, that comes out of the blocks firing on all cylinders thanks to an essential ep from ryan crosson.

inspired by selfish showmanship of social networks argomat and jen from hannover packed their very own view of things into this release. long live the selfie-stick...not. the b-side is just about misunderstanding. all in all...don t take this release too serious. there is a beat, a bassline, some things around that and essentially again, the really nice voice of jen. with mikel gil (lonely owl records) from spain and label owner gunman we have two fantastic remixes and both are delivering their own perception of music. enjoy :)

more than 10 years after a limited pressing that caused huge stirs around the world, -house ya- is back on wax ! championned by ricardo villalobos at every gig last year, but also cassy, d julz, claude monnet or even bob sinclar, this one has a large spectrum appeal and is pleasing all kind of crowds. along the bomb, you get 2 more exclusive secret weapons, a very effective reboot of -house of god- for the strongheads and an acid house anthem derived from a sneak track that keeps inviting you to the deepest trip. let me tell you this one is a huge release, and very limited too. don t sleep on it.
vinyl only...

aequilon records proudly present it’s superb first release! boyd goosman (who used to be part of the techno outfit noirdegout) was known for his powerfull releases on no fear records, and white noise (dave clake’s imprint) which have been played by some of the most recognised djs of the scene (laurent garnier, fabrice lig, dave clarke ...). he now works on his own, finding his niche in strong but deep and evocative techno. this new material on aequilon show his love for electro, detroit vibes, but also berlin’s modern techno. after spending so many hours in recent years dancing all other europe on the weirdest and wild dancefloors, boyd goosman felt that it was the right moment to express again his unique sonic trademarks. for this first release on aequilon, we asked to berlin’s resident cadency aka héctor oaks (reclaim your city, key vinyl, oaks records ...) to deliver an absolute killer remix of ‘lost control’ and he did it with an ultraphat bassheavy monster!

whether it is hip hop,techno, electro boogie, new beat, italo, jungle, reggae, house or chill out. though, all those different sounds and styles do not tear this album apart. it s a bit of a miracle that it feels so flawless for what happens between the appetizing -level one- and the final track -the last march-.

too many possibilities can also mean a tyranny of the what if.... in this light, celebrating less becomes vital. and thats exactly what swedish producer and studio barnhus affiliate simon haydo does in redux. all of the sounds in the albums nine tracks come from just one synth: the korg ms20. as simon puts it, the idea was to maximize the use of less, basically. less gear, less effects, less input from other people , less everything.using only between 2 and 6 channels for every track, the result is a stripped but surprisingly rich sound, that delineates spatial techno vignettes coated with the unmistakable charac- ter of the ms20 filters. even more interestingly, this restraint is not only applied gear-wise, but also from an emotional point of view. instead of involving my own feelings, i let the voice of the ms20 take care of it, says simon. all this makes redux an expression of techno in its purest form. after all, its a kind of music that has always gravitated around simplicity, austerity and, of course, the believe that the machines have their own soul.

new label funky fungi preps its debut release for this march, featuring two original tracks from label boss georg stuby and his production trio the gravy underground. hailing from zurich switzerland, georg stuby is a longstanding house and techno dj, producer and teacher. his new creation, funky fungi is a vinyl based record label working as an outlet for georg and his friends to release their music. aside from the solo release, this ep also features the gravy underground, a collaborative project with georg’s friends christopher lawrenz & jonas, who already remixed one of georg’s tracks on his last formresonance ep. the opening track ‘metro bass’ has a dusty analog feel and delves into the depths with shuffling percussion and reverberated effects which spiral out of control, all saturated in white noise giving off the spatial aesthetic associated with an echo chamber. next up, the gravy underground production trio create a mystical journey in ‘keep it gravy’, as minimal kicks chug alongside off kilter hats and twisted vocal snippets that are delicately layered with field recordings.

new year new r zone. this time the revivalist rave crew, brutal techno lovers and broken beat brothers-whoever they may be-serve up three more tantalising tracks that are designed simply for high dance floor impact. greatest enemy is first and lives in a deep space world where jungliest percussion and pummelling drums are offset with swirling pads and warm synths. it s an emotional roller coaster that gets followed up by spike, a manic and prickly speaker blaster with wild melodies and rave stylings all barely continued by punch and off beat kick drums. last of all, faramore agent is in your face with its frazzled bass, skittish percussion and vocal stabs all panning about left and right. one again this is brilliantly all over the place and impossibly visceral music designed to devastate all who hear it

producer dain releases his debut 7” single featuring incredible vocal collaborations with la’s modern funk queen moniquea, and frequent tall black guy collaborators malice & mario sweet. drawing inspiration from great producers like j dilla, dj quik, and kev brown, dain brings a unique swing and style to the table with his signature drums, bass lines, and keys. instantly recognizable with a sound all its own, dain’s frst release with liquid beat is perfect for those who love expertly produced, beat driven r&b and hip-hop. included with the 7” is a free download of dain’s entire “treat yourself” ep that features additional collaborations with black spade, rozzi daime (of sa-ra fame), and up and coming portland songstress blossom.

ultimate block party breaks volume 4 continues the tradition that began in the bronx in the 1970’s, where “break djs” would take that one part of the record that dancers would go absolutely crazy for. that part where all the music breaks down to nothing but the essence: drums and percussion. these are all truly timeless beats that sound as fresh today as they did when the founding fathers like kool herc, bam, flash and hollywood were catching them for the frst time in community centers throughout the city. we’ve edited and extended these breaks for maximum effect on the dancefloor - so you don’t have to. enjoy!

they release a cover of the -seasons are sitting on chairs- from arvid tuba and a few great songs like -just be happy-. as we love the insane modernity of these two songs we decided to release them on prego and asked dmitry distant to remix this happiness anthem. all songs are remastered for vinyl by isolator, housed in a jacket designed by anda masq & rodeo basilic.

already heavy hitters on the house music scene since their first releases back in 2012, waze & odyssey continue to carve out club burners with such ease, and their first release of 2017 finds a suitably fitting home on edible. the duo of firas waez and serge santiago have seemingly not put one step wrong in their ascendency within the house music circuit. be it releases for labels like wolf music, elrow or their own w&o street tracks, or remixes for the likes of disclosure, totally enormous extinct dinosaur and metronomy, w&o have found that knack of delivering sure fire winners time after time. already a staple in label boss eats everything’s dj sets, ‘down with tha’ has all the hallmarks of a bona fide club classic, if the hyperactive drums and looping vocal refrain doesn’t draw you in enough, then the downright funky bass lick that prominently packs a punch really provides the killer hook. the, quite frankly, face melting breakdown surely seals the deal, and we are anticipating this cut to ring out loud across dancefloors over the coming weeks and months. competently propping up the release, ‘seizure’ goes on a spacey, bongo odyssey (geddit?), serving up a rolling, dubby drum workout that culminates in a rather impressive snare roll breakdown that’ll have you frothing at the mouth. snatches of female vox and whistles are dotted around the galloping jungle drums, whilst the elevating key chimes provide the perfect musical lift. another slice of completely freshhouse music from w&o!

we ve all been there, spending endless hours searching, listening, skipping thru tracks and trying to find at least one good one. no more. we ve made it easy for you... tune is all about that one track, the track that will bring the heat. no remixes, radio edits or excess dubs. it s all very simple, one track, one really awesome tune. that s all. the plot thickens, who is theo walbeck?? but maybe it s not that important, after all the music is the key figure and speaks for itself. this is theo s follow up to freek tool which was one of disclosures most played tracks in 2016 and goes down a similar path. in our humble opinion this is an even stronger track and something that is just waiting to get some heavy isolator action. someone 2night got that dark and vintage warehouse feel mixed up with some soulful cut up vocals and lush strings that is just perfect to drop at peak hour. those rumbling drums will cause some serious damage...believe dat!

deep & roll strikes again, bringing back to life 4 unreleased tracks, lost since 1992, by the italian house maestro enrico mantini. like a good wine, music improves with age, to the greatest delight of our ears. octivation’ is the ultimate smooth ballad, a subtle balance between warm synths and keys. gotta have it’ brings the deepness, i wanna tell you’ a powerful groove: all tracks will fit into deep dancefloors, bringing nostalgic vibes and some realness to your set. the heads won’t miss this one!

it really feels like we (aka mad mats & tooli) have been around way longer than 5 1/2 years with local talk, but it s really true what they say, time flies when you re having fun! from what started as a somewhat simple and almost primitive urge to create a small house imprint has now grown into a much bigger affair. we really tried hard to keep the label from getting stuck in any genre (remember 90s house?) and to always keep the local talk relevant, curious, diverse and with a healthy dose of underground mentality. from our very first release with bassfort s excellent moon shadow in the summer of 2011, we had a crystal clear vision of what local talk should represent... house music in any way, shape or form! over the years we released soulful, disco, jack, afro, vocal, deep, jazz, tech, latin, old school, acid, uk, berlin, new jersey, detroit and of course chicago inspired house music. if it made us bump...we put it out! this brings us up to today and about +80 releases later. we thought about how we best could sum up these first 5 1/2 years and immediately the image of blaze s classic album 25 years later popped up. besides the fact that it s an amazing album cover it also a good representation when different musical genres fuse together. it s not strictly a house album but just as well a r&b, reggae and soul album. this fusion and variation of house sounds is something that we ve tried to capture on our 5 1/2 years later compilation, split into two parts. on part 1 you ll find a dark bassline driven house jam from art of tones (check the mad sax!), a proper deep journey jam from nyc s dj spinna, a blaze homage with that classic new jersey sound from sean mccabe, and a bumpy world/jazz inspired cut straight outta brescia from wonder kid corrado bucci. all in all we think we got most angles covered and hopefully this album will make you spread that chalk on the dance floor and get down...local talk style!

not every story has to always start at the beginning. an unforeseen prequel to an existing story can deliver new meaning and create fresh excitement. vega records’ latest release “a new day” features the r & b music legend, vocalist caron wheeler, and visionary, producer jazzie b. they are widely known as soul ii soul, “keep on moving” and “back to life (however do you want me)” are just a few of their mega-hits. the latter won the group a grammy award for best r&b performance by a duo or group with vocal. this new release on vinyl “a new day” by vega records features unreleased remixes from an all-star cast that consists of producers louie vega, joe claussell, ron trent, timmy regisford, adam rios & tiger wilson. a double pack vinyl of unreleased versions by the talented cast of remixers, nuff said! let the music take you there!

having been approved by labels as respected as underground quality and autoreply, brazilian producer apoena returns to his allnite label with yet more of that pure and heartfelt deep house music for those who like it classic and classy. i know yo- punches and tickles in all the right places with its dreamy keys, soulful vocal lick and rock solid drum lines, while tristeza nao tem fim heads into even more blissed-out territory with its rolling groove and heavy-lidded chords. lost has a solid bottom end thrust that wouldnt sound out of place on a mike huckaby record, and mama loves you brings more of that sweet, laid back, feel good feeling to finish up this impeccable collection of house jams.

the fourth installation of acronym’s own dimensional exploration series comes after more than 2 years of silence. underwater exploration for all the senses.

brand new transatlantyk release contains elusive synth works of sasha zakrevska aka poly chain. she likes to call herself a ukrainian ambient chavette and the title of her debut album is a tongue-in-cheek spin on eno s classic. music for candy shops is much more sticky and syrupy than its famous predecessor though. in every track on this record poly chain s rich and warm synth textures are glazed with another layer of radioactive sweeting. from atonal melodies on top to occasional spicing in form of odd reverbs, delays and drum sounds - it s all there. let me tell you straight up: this candy shop serves some weird sort of sweets, inducing hallucinations, anxious feelings of omniscience and transcendency. use with caution! available as a 200 copies only vinyl lp

first ever re issue of the classic ed banger 2007 compilation (all tracks were exclusive to the compilation)s) 14 track compilation only contains exclusive tracks (except mr flash disco dynamite & justice phantom) and once again, and as always, expect the dopest design around from so:me.

much interest domestically and abroad has been generated over the years about an indie soul label in san diego, ca called musette records, whose short life span (1965-1968) only produced less than 20 singles, and no full albums. more than 40 years later, musette would achieve the collectible status among record buyers of northern soul, who recognize and appreciate the r&b grooves that pulsated on these now extremely rare singles.
the vinyl release includes a download code.

five years deep into the game, all nine lives fully intact: utrechtian feral feline larry de kat prowls his way onto pets. and we really dont need to tell you how purrrrfectly apt this debut union is. fresh from launching his own katnip imprint (and putting the final touches on a hush-hush disco edit series), pets have managed to prise four of his finest, broadest creations from his creative claws. each one floorbound, each one backing up the hype hes enjoyed from the likes of axel boman, mark e and laurent garnier, each one making us feel like cats who got the creamiest of creams. i know you can hear me’ takes the lead on a more direct tip that you might expect from de kat. big pumps wrapped in a fine vibe balance of detroit and parisian house textures, but done with larrys signature dubby, jacking style, its the perfect paws-sitive statement of intent. slinking deeper into the ep, naakte groove lives up to its nude name with a lean-but-warm bass riff that purrs with finesse around a straight-up strutting drum arrangement. so much fun in such a tight, detailed groove, youll want this on loop forever.amlou stalks up behind with dusty, thumping charm. rolling and scratching like it was 20 years younger, theres an innate physicality in the drums that snaps you out when the big disco hook rides in from nowhere. finally we hit she doesnt. the dubbiest groove of the set, all eyes are on that bulbous sub, rippling synths and precision tuned snare shot. hypnotic, heavy, unhurried and heads down. these sounds are fur real. like all the best stray cats, expect larry to return to pets as and when he pleases.

10th release on fasrat is the debut record of mr yo so hailing from the west pomerania region of poland (same as his label mate das komplex), rafal reich is an experienced musician. from playing piano in modern jazz groups to woodwinds in a brass band and synths in his home studio, his music displays rare sensibility and an ear for lovely melodies. delicious brings together six tracks recorded during last few years, from dreamy new age-ish soundtracks to proper balearic sunrise/sunset anthems, with obvious echoes of 70s lords of synth. cheesy, yes, but its this kind of rich, mature, delicious cheese we all like, dont we?

tiga is back to tell you what youve always needed to hear with his new single eye luv u. co-produced by one half of paranoid london, the new single harnesses all the pure source energy of what enlightened club-goers often describe as their favourite emotion. the title came to me while i was playing a pyramid that had been converted into a multi-purpose event space, says the canadian dj/producer. the hieroglyphics over what is now the coat check made me imagine a world in which pictures could mean words and words could mean anything. the thing about wordplay is that its fascinating to conceive of different realities informed by different systems of meaning, and how each reality would invariably bend to vault me to the pinnacle of all possible worlds. its humbling, really.

bqd040.1 is a collection of remixes the label released during its early years. back then, the label intended to back up every release with a remix. the rhadoo remix was not just an amazing addition to pherox’s “gabrielle” track, but it was also featured on an ep released with new graphics. buck delivered an amazing interpretation of danilo schneider’s summer track “l’ecole”, that’s still very much a favourite at the label. last but not least, laurine frost’s remix of dana & nvelope’s “flowers”, one of dana’s first released tracks. frost gave the original a rich soundscape an extraordinary vibe. all of these remixes meant something special to the label, and now they’re all here for you to enjoy on one record…

dubfire and miss kittin have scored another big hit in the form of their second collaboration ride, the follow-up to the much-loved anthem exit. now, many destroyed dancefloors later and they’re unleashing a big pack of remixes to sit alongside their two original versions. solomun may best known for big melodies and hooks, but his remix boldly displays his affinity for heads down techno. a beast of a track, it centers around ticking percussion and pulsating synth delays with a throbbing low end. minimal in approach, maximal in aesthetic, it’s a no-nonsense groove. matthew dear dons his audion guise to remind us how instrumental he was in formulating that oddball techno sound a decade ago, making good use of the vocals in the heady breakdowns and matching them with unsettlingly wavering synth sirens and an almost tribal bass stomp. it’s full of atmospheric touches and pulls off a big room feel without resorting to cliches. depeche mode, erasure and yazoo legend vince clarke is a personal hero of dubfire’s, making his appearance on this package all the more of a special, rare treat. his chunky house groove is decked out with rolling congas, electro arpeggios and a yearning, bluesy guitar lick. french star djedjotronic has himself remixed depeche mode, and his version rounds off the package with throbbing low end, harrowing synths, techy percussion and brooding reese bass swells. with four very different mixes to choose from, this is an immense package that is set to cause havoc on dancefloors worldwide for some time to come.

hailing from london, london modular alliance are a trio of modular enthusiasts, often performing live, completely on the fly using modular synths and live improvisation. members include koova. yes effect and pip williams, but on this new ep for hypercolour. pip williams aka phil venture strikes alone with four devastating cuts. with previous releases on uk techno label brokntoys and the kirk degiorgios applied rhythmic technology (art) label, lma continue a fine run of releases with the home grown ep. the production aesthetics across the four cuts are second to none civic society pairs up dark atmospherics and driving electro beats that furl into rolling breaks, whilst home grown is a pacey and bustling burner. more forward motion electro vibes are in evidence on lucid, and ep closer, saunton combines dense ambience, broken beats and acidic bass, all with a gloss and shimmer that makes the music of london modular alliance so engaging. selected dj reactions elephino - looking forward to playing this loud a made up sound - im digging lucid, thanks cosmin trg - heat ethyl - decent this!

“sweat, blood and tears and it’s all autobiographical- - as he describes it.”
the formula remains the same - dancefloor science grooves mixed with subliminal deepness plus hip-hop beat for those who know what’s up.

no light at the end of the tunnel. no helping hand to pull you out of the hole. no second chances. no god to cure this deadly disease. no heaven to save your soul after your final seconds... hope will hold on, but in the end, death shall claim it. all this, we understand a little more, day by day.
we will experience our absolute zero, and the stages of life that come as close. we think that we will never recover and that we are not strong enough to fight against it. our immaculate, peaceful souls, that we begin our lives with, start to bleed, and slowly get torn into, bit by bit by the cold hard truth that breaks our protective walls. we learn to handle and accept this even as pieces of us shatter and die every time a little bit more inside us. to give light, we must endure burning. but what if everything we are able to burn is gone?
there is no other way... we are falling apart a bit more, every day.

the guys at pole jam vinyl have spent most of the last year involved in an undying quest to seek out new, exciting music. they would neither be stopped by the russian tundras nor the deserts of australia in their search. funnily enough, it was actually down-under they discovered sydney based duo falqo with their brilliantly chilled and melodic number across the sea . then, it really was across the sea they went, all the way to the ukraine, picking up sasha anastasov s laidback, groovy smasher sea for two . next up was a much shorter trip to moscow to collect gayana, a band very much on the rise whose since the night has been perfectly reinterpreted by pole jam s very own st. petersburg based all-stars klar&pf. pioneerball is the solo project of tesla boy s lead guitarist who makes his second appearance on pole jam vinyl. this time pioneerball contributes the stunning opening track deltaplane , a track influenced by obscure russian cinematic soundtracks. it s combined perfectly with a compelling disco groove, jazzy melodies and organic strings that will make your heart melt.
