booty-shaking & mind-moving! the new s3a release specifically originated and is meant for the dancefloor, one dancefloor in particular to be precise. taking experience from his alma-mater rex-club in paris, s3a crafts a 4-track ep to honour this legendary venue in the heart of parisian music history. the label times are ruff releases a steady stream of dj-friendly tools and dancefloor ready house-tracks, with a hint to the past but never sounding dated. s3a rex club paris resident ep dedicated to legendary rex club in paris s3a just came back from his first australian tour

second round of our remix rampage ! this time with four tracks on the edgier side that will leave no dancefloor undisturbed, be it through percussive precision (jay shepheard), brute force (inigo vontier), acidic complexion (yuki tosaya) or some vocal batshit crazyness (mr ties). because rough is right!

following on the psyfunk label compilation, that shed a great deal of attention on the budding argentine scene, is a full ep from alan castro. alan castro’s track “mi alma intoxicada” was a highlight of various artists #01 , definitively floaring and delicately rolling. on this new ep, castro shows his complex capacities in composition. “ciderfunk” is without a doubt one of the most mind-boggling tracks we’ve heard for a very long time. backed by “pacuriver” and “db mucho” which are both equally as intricate, as the epically adventurous a-side.

marcel vogels latest on lumberjacks in hell welcomes the mighty leftfield nyc mc sensational to flow over his learned disco house grooves. sensational sounds right at home on if you like, and vogel gives him a slightly freaked groove to riff on that works just fine. brown curls taps up khalil anthony, one of the finest uk house vocalists in operation right now, and patchworks remixes it into a dreamy disco funk jam for the boogie brothers and sisters to shake it to. alma negra gets busy with if you like, creating a tumbling afro-centric re-rub par excellence, and then tim jules comes on board with an instrumental version that nudges into tightly wound funk territory.

there is a memory of a forgotten past, or an unknown future. that momentary seed of thought of a time where the unearthly and the spiritual reigned supreme. an abundant force of the senses , linking to the deeper paths of consciousness. where our roots merged and linked with the universal network of thought. where magic and mystery where not seen as illusion, but a treasure of collective inspiration. captured in the now and the endless, the same and the opposite intertwined, the light and the dark. the thing with five eyes is jason kohnen’s phoenix rising from his previous disassembled ‘darkjazz’ projects the kilimanjaro darkjazz ensemble and the mount fuji doomjazz corporation. the continual journey into unknown musical territories. ‘noirabesque’ is that current day journey into those worlds that have been or are still to come. a boundless universe. on this adventure kohnen is accompanied by algerian / french singer leila bounous, who perfectly adds the oriental and mystical vocal timbre to the album. pressing on 180 gram double vinyl, housed in full coloured sleeve.

second solo album from domenico lancellotti. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

portuguese artist ka§par gives parisian label escapade its third release. the four tracks span across a wide range of electronic sounds, telling a story that calls on many emotions. ‘wail of a loon opens the record with an experimental atmosphere. after this laid back introduction, ka§par goes into a much stronger style: ‘riggeds energy and catchy, twirling melody make it a total banger. on the b side, the mood gets much warmer and groovy. ‘vital is the perfect tune to warm up a dancefloor, thanks to a swinging rhythm, mesmerizing vocal samples and funky synth lines. ‘alma douro rounds up the record with strong jazzy vibes. beautiful chords and piano solos never dissapoint!

psyfunk is a record series curated by franco cinelli, driving force of the south american underground dance music landscape and argentina’s most respected producer and dj. with psyfunk, cinelli provides a selection of minutely crafted and slowly-evolving extended dj tools. for this third chapter, cinelli calls on young upcoming talents from argentina and uruguay. opening up the a.side, bodeler lands with his reduced ghettotek funk, which is already one of the deadly dancefloor weapons of some of the most respected djs out there. irresistible! following up, is richard hz. other very promising artist on argentine grounds, hz provides here a burning break track, with clear touches of psychedelic acid and mystery. an ideal track to keep the floor floating in thin air. on the flip! alan castro, hailing from the atlantic coast of bahia blanca, produces here an intimate number packed with melancholy. jazzy relaxing swings under a sea of glitches, afterhour material. bringing this record to the runout is a wonderful and rare appearance of the uruguayan z@p. “mental telepathy” is resolutely funky and a clear flashback to the us midwest right when house became techno.

listen to this if you want to hear last years best tracks on heist by dam swindle, alma negra, fouk, nachtbraker, nebraska and parker madicine in 1 big remix package.

over the past six years, dimensions has become a leading name in the underground, with its festival, international series, dj directory and dimensions soundsystem. now, dimensions extends its influence with the start of its label - dimensions recordings. the label launches with a 12-track compilation across three separate discs. ‘an introduction’ makes a huge statement in setting out the label’s intent and breadth. with artists established and new stepping up to present 12 exclusive tracks. * an introduction part 1 calls upon artists from different corners of the globe who share the similarity of undeniable soul and expression in their music. the ep has an earthy, worldly feel to it. from the swahili sung harmonies on mim suleiman’s ‘pole pole’, to the afro influences of swiss collective alma negra’s ‘onga’, both tracks work raw percussion with just enough swing that either would sit comfortably within latenight uk dance floors or on the sun-kissed beaches of pula, croatia – dimensions festival’s home. then there’s the jazz-tinted glow of istanbul’s kerem akdag whose ‘getdownsoclose’ deep roller makes use of lush pads and rushing snares. closing is maryland’s james tillman, who’s soulful vocals on ‘wander’ sit gracefully over transcendental keys and compellingly loose drumming, rounding off part 1 with a dose of the soul.

welcome to nightlife. johannes klingebiel’s debut on rss disco’s mireia records. an atmospheric journey. melancholic, yet euphoria-inducing. johannes’ five tracks cast their shadows into the darkness, mirroring patches of light that can be found if you wander out far enough. it’s simultaneously the soundtrack of sweaty dancers losing their sense of time and place and the hopeful feeling of a new day during a drive into the first light in the hazy morning hours. johannes is a studied drummer. he released music on labels like mule musiq, ancient future now and feines tier. he’s also one half of alma & mater and travels constantly with the bands c.a.r. and vimes. oh and he’s a great dj as well. he probably never sleeps. that’s how he manages to capture the magic of nightlife. the vinyl comes in a screen printed sleeve with hand stamped labels and is limited to 300 pieces.

globe-trotting production heavyweight quantic collaborates with rising talent nicola cruz on an epic remix of puente roto from cruz’s debut album prender el alma. following the release of prender el alma (2015) and nicola cruz’s imminent global takeover, the young ecuadorian called on a crop of producers for remix duty. serendipitously, quantic, one of nicola’s inspirations, answered the call in his signature way with a bass-heavy, jazzy and psychedelic display of genius that will move any dance-floor that thrives on global beats. the release comes on limited edition 180g 12” vinyl - the b-side lovingly etched with a design.

ltd 2017 repress !!!amsterdam dwelling editor par excellence em vee took the solo reigns on the inaugural lumberjacks in hell - and truly excelled with a great reimagination of >miss you<. the second release on the label sees the german share duties with spanish edit demon rayko, with the rare wiri boss hogging the a side. first up is an expert rearrangement of candi statons cover of the bee gees standard >nights on broadway< which strips the track of its orchestral leanings to focus on the groove! following this is a meaty take on a classic, with barbara keiths cover of >all along the watchtower< reinforced with some bottom end bump. em vee spreads a special disco version of alma lees late 70s philly delight >gimme your love< with an extended intro that fully displays his edit talents

frigio is beyond proud to release the first album from alessandro parisi s sepulchral dwelling pseudonym hesperius draco. donning the ceremonial robes, the conventions of house, techno and horror soundtracks are blurred as past, present and future merge. stalking darkness and light, bordering the divine and profane, -actus tragicus- pulls the dancefloor into the murky shadows of rome. ritualistic chants, chilling choirs and hissing beats are brewed across two slabs of vinyl. bpms dip and rise as hesperius draco takes you on a winding journey through the catacombs of his world.

the vinyl only label comes from ant plate (of rhythm plate notoriety), and following some turns from ant himself as yse saint laur ant the label branches out to welcome brand new entity (or quite possibly alias) bubbadog to the playing field. the quality of the music eschews any notions of who did what, as the tumbling latin tones of -alma- meet with the laid-back, handclap-heavy bliss of -threshold-. -boodoo- on the flip deals in a more peppy kind of offbeat house, and then -talkin talkin - and -harry- drop down into a classic bit of funk breaks business.

* after almost 20 years of making tracks with blaringly loud kicks, you tend to start producing with the other elements first to give yourself a break from the constant pounding of monitors at point blank range. following an analog filter shopping spree, i began working on a group of tracks where the low end was satisfied by the filtering, and realized these songs worked just fine without a bass drum. therefore this record is called “rareforms” since most of my other work consists of a kick drum and lots of loud effects. this record is dedicated to the brilliant synthesist and interpreter isao tomita, whose records always provide inspiration in the lab. also to master storyteller rod serling and his frequent collaborator bernard hermann, whose score for the hitchcock film vertigo i adapted through some midi processes and wavetable synthesis, then sent it through a 4-foot spring reverb.* - phil moffa

i was deep in texas when a call came through... -hey man it s cherry ! ...we got some sick new shit for you, gonna blow your mind- i waited nervously for the package. it arrived two weeks later. i slipped the hot black acetate from its wrapper and placed it on the turntable... wired guitars wail like banshees on heat, primal beats erupt drenched in dark juice from roots of trees slick with crunk. flutes and bells hang like exotic flowers that reek of jungle sex and all night long the pulse goes on and on and on as usual cherry was right...this most surely is one sick motherfucker of a record. don t get me wrong there s warped beauty here aplenty but you gotta take it easy. don t ingest it all at once...make sure you re in comfortable surroundings, trust me i know...six months later and i m still feeling the burn. damn you cherry garcia.

a new member in the very small lgdz-family. miajica is a young producer from basel, who is known for being part of the also very young and fresh alma negra project. for lgdz he made an disco edit of a well known classic on a and arabian-bladerunner meets daf track. musk did the proper 4/4 treatment, to straighten this monster for clubneeds.

truly timeless dj-kicks release from moodymann on triple vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

after the alma ep’ by shanti celeste, secretsundaze’ s 19th release comes from another uk home grown favorite wbeeza. beeza is a firm part of the secretsundaze family and although it’s his first release on the label, he has been a regular fixture at the parties now for 5 or 6 years playing at both the london events and touring internationally with giles and james as a live act, as well touring extensively by himself. we hope his music needs no introduction - his sound is quite simply fresh, an amalgamation of so many things from house, techno, jazz, hip hop to more uk leaning garage vibes.

fleeting wax is a new label by basel djs mehmet aslan and miajica from alma negra, whose fame has spread far and beyond switzerland. the ep contains three striking edits from the reaches of what could be considered world disco in the widest sense of the word. its fair to say that this is the embodiment of a now familiar basel sound all sultry playfulness, turkish delights and sun drenched pop not pop. the first is tais schlager edit, built on a combo of hypnotic marimba-dreaming and that irresistibly sugary voice. istanbul digger dj fattish immerses himself into the singer-songwriter wealth of his country. and label co-owner miajica weds italian cantautore passion to the dancefloor. with its first release, fleeting wax clearly lives up to its romantic promise: unearthing forgotten relics and infusing sleeping beautys with new life.

with its eighth release, leipzig-based holger records introduces yet another new artist: vai has been active in the scene for a few years already, with various production teams and aliases. his new project is heading for a different path though: son of idaia is his most intimate work to date, a highly personal record. the elements in use are almost fragile, winding around each other and hard to grasp. so is the music: in between ambient, electronica and ghostly techno it seems removed from its club origins and yet still reverberating these roots. a deep trip down the rabbit hole, dubby, immersive and glowing in all its calm beauty. holger 8 introduces a new line of cover artworks, courtesy of lukas mehling.

miajica follows up on his -second spring- ep with two massive balearic anthems supported by remixes from acid pauli and wareika.

schon auf dem debütalbum -foe- begeisterten ryan james und tomas greenhalf mit der kombination aus elektronischem minimalismus und der liebe zur klassischen popmusik. auf dem neuen werk -maximum entropy- bleiben man without country diesem stil treu und wirken deutlich mutiger und selbstbewusster. die zwölf neuen songs wurden von james und greenhalf im hauseigenen studio in wales aufgenommen, produziert und gemixt. wie auch schon auf dem vorgängeralbum, steht stets der fragile gesang von ryan james als zentrale konstante im mittelpunkt der songs, darum herum erbaut sich die ganz eigene klangwelt von man without country. gepresst auf transparentem, farbig gesprenkeltem vinyl, download-code inklusive.

we hope you will permit us the indulgence of deviating slightly from our globe trotting explorations on this release as we pay homage to the sun. highlife on holiday, if you will. stepping away from the edits, auntie flo delivers a new original track. sun ritual ii takes things up a notch from its earlier counterpart (released on kompakt), banging dare-we-say-it berghain techno gives way to warm synth-laden euphoria. on the flip, miajica, one third of alma negra who you may recall from highlife2. here he serves up a delightfully familiar summer treat, the original being an end of the night, highlife highlight, particularly at our annual tribute to the sun event. we are sure you will agree that both sides are rock solid and primed for the summer!

ancient future records shares its first outing through the incarnation of the kilunga ep. facing the future, but remembering all things that have been, we are focussed on the universal presence, the eternal here and now. four tracks by four artists guide us through this constant state of nowness.
