although firmly entrenched in the minus camp for years, this latest four track ep from us born, berlin based ambivalent marks a widening of his sonic remit. as such it arrives on the broader techno outpost that is plus 8, and can be added to the likes of clink for whom the man known as kevin mchugh has also recorded. carefully blending the soul of his american roots with a european propensity for machine music, ambivalent’s ever evolving sonic blueprint here explores some of his most fluid grooves to date

the last release before we hit the big five-0 here is samuel dan who had previously released together with darlyn vlys on our sub label sweet & sour. he has also shown his face on syncopat, dirty bird und off recordings. with the title track >i hear voices< samuel leans out from the dj booth and gives the vjs something ravey to trigger an emotional parade ... while he hears voices, we see stars. >on the dancefloor< and >do it baby< take us to the next level of this olympic exercise!

sensai is on fire right now and he has got releases coming out all over the place. foundation pin him down and sign these lashing jump up tracks which have been getting rinsed by everyone. we have also heard some more of sensais un-signed tracks and he has got a big 2011 lined up.

if the doorman fronts like he dont know you... tell him that youre with the dj whether he is friend or foe, the nightmaker or the night-breaker, the mythical nightclub doorman is a universal figure of influence for clubbing fans worldwide. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner and vocalist anthony mills pay tongue-in-cheek tribute yet also take him to task with their energetic workout >the doorman<. capturing the anticipation, anguish and unpredictability of conversations held on the threshold of clubland, a hapless and faceless figure is ready to rave, and is unleashed via a processed vocal over a tightly-wound acid tech beat. a buzzing twonote bassline and pummelling drums set the stomping

next up on tirk we have a brand new act, named free school. hailing from birmingham, shoegaze duo andy and steve bring the sunny balearic sounds of summer and the icy kosmiche sounds of winter all in one sweeping hit. free school are maximalist and minimalist all at once.
the band like to compare themselves to caribou, orbital, hot chip, fourtet, and pet shop boys, all pretty good touchstones in our eyes, however it was the sheer gloriousness of their music that had us hooked.
their debut ep features the uplifting and euphoric >ranting and raving< and the 9 minute sound-movie >lemon<. remixes come from richard norris and his time and space machine project (we are going to have to put this guy on the payroll soon) and russian ice cool customer sportloto. free school also appear live (in sheep masks no less) so watch out for them at a venue near you. their debut album is in the pipeline and already sounding good.

the latest immerse cut sees the label tapping once again into the fertile waters of haunting, leftfield 4/4, showcasing the hitherto unknown talents of el kid. the eagle-eared out there may have picked up on the young echo radio show, which features sam kidel (to his folks) alongside west-country compatriots kahn, vessel and zhou showcasing their new tracks and mixes. for most though, this will be the first they hear of the bristol-born, brighton-based producer. on both tracks the synthetic sheen of detroit techno gets refigured into an almost downtempo kind of house music. the melody is king, whatever sonic texture it might manifest in, leaving you with ample layers to get engrossed in. that same quintessential yearning quality ensures that these first offerings from el kid fit perfectly into the immerse canon. it will shake the right kind of dancefloor, but it will also tug at the right kind of heart-strings as well.

hotflush presents the debut collaborative release from arkist and kidkut, both based in bristol, uk. the title track is a four to the floor deep cut, adorned with subaquatic atmospherics, warm contours of bass and subtly stirring melodies, a magnificent pairing with scuba’s imprint. on the flip side, >vanilla imitate< maintains the vibe and amps the energy with a smart infusion of shuffling uk garage flavors and emotive soundscapes. arkists solo productions have been recently released on appleblims apple pips label, if symptoms persist, and deca rhythm. kidkut is the mastermind behind the immerse records label, which has been releasing quality bass music since 2006. his solo productions can also be found on apple pips and well rounded records

etruria beats latest release has been done by the new neapolitan talent duo viesse. there are two original mixes: >secrets< and >walk<. >secrets< is the journey track made of steel grooves, stabby chords and strings, everything moving on a restless bassline. >walk<, instead, is a perfect combination between airy chords and heavy drums, flowing in a killer groove crowned by the vocals ... walk!! c mon!
>secrets< has also been remixed by arnaud le texier, owner of safari electronique, who has his latest releases on cocoon and bass culture. the last track on the vinyl is >slowly<, that has been remixed from tennis, aka manfredi romano, owner of life and death, who has given a peculiar touch at 116 bpm to the release.

freaky vibes is proud to present speaking of love ep. the original mix is an old school track with spooky and deep atmospheres mixed at well with an huge groove and a solid dark vocal. you can find also the fabio ricciuti & groovik rmx. the result of this collaboration between the label owner, groovik, and one of the most talented djs on the italian scenario, fabio ricciuti...is an old school version that reminds the golden old times!

for the 10th release on soweos we are proud to present… the return of dj w!ld on our beloved label after his amazing >con estrellas< ep. the >dance until i die< ep is typical w!ld style house track that was made to be played out loud. sexy subs and a psychedelic breakdown we have come to know and love of his sound. also included is a remix by label head lauhaus, that brings the title track to a more groovy affair. he keeps the vibe of the original, but gives it a typical amsterdam twist

iberian records feature on their seventh release an ep from migrant (aka 23hz) who comes with three slabs of soundsystem funk and groovy vibes. >limbic sistim< kicks off proceedings with a building arrangement into a catchy vocal lick – all underpinned with tight beats and warm subs. >acid sumatra< works on a similar tip but ups the tribal and percussive pressure on a deeper insistent rub. whilst >pipe club< brings some classic two-steppy flavours into the mix but cleverly reinforced with massive sub weight. these three tunes are taken from migrants forthcoming album, also entitled >exit plan<. more bass n groove from the lisbon and barcelona based label that should find favour with the deeper end of both dubstep and uk funky scenes.’ early support by scratcha dva, ghosts on tape, kid606, chrissy muderbot, cardopusher, slackk, mesak, phaeleh, deville, bunzer0, throwing snow.

when talking about the music of com truise (one of the many pseudonyms of new jersey designer/musician seth haley), the nostalgia bit inevitably comes up, so lets get that out of the way. yes, his songs tap classic sci-fi and proto-electro in a way that is distinctly early eighties in scope. but they’re also remarkably weird--stutter-step proggy and intoxicatingly psychedelic, like those classic touchstones got drunk on lava lamp juice inside a pinball machine. after his well-received cyanide sisters ep, a grip of remixes for artists like twin shadow, neon indian, and, uh, daft punk, and a few floating mp3s, truises first lp, galactic melt, will finally enter brainspaces this summer.

we continue our trek into the welsh wilderness with crow castle cuts… a medieval manuscript entitled >fouke le fitz waryn< claimed that the castle, known as chastiel bran, was in ruin as early as 1073. the opening track comes from we play house artists and belgian buddies maxim lany & lemakuhlar who give us an absolute killer balearic beauty here with their stunning sunshine song >exotic guitar<. we also introduce three hot new producers to ccc - local talent from the castles valley. compelling!

this time splendid lo-fi come up with a little and powerful v/a: rio padice is up to skies right now, nothing can be high enough to stretch out his hands and grab it. with vixen he has done his finest work and brings us deep and rough sounding analog and mature simplicity. a sound like a fox roaming thru the dark forest. a pure 909-sound meets a butter packed bassline. this is ment to be very classic stuff. a concept also steinwiese has arranged perfectly. a lusty and classy piece of very crackling music for the vinyl. on black bird a crispy bass and a strong chord are taking us on a ride and show the same forest from above. this one is definitely for the nighttime

district of corruption is proud to present a very unique collaboration between dilo and egon orange. dilo hails originally from buenos aires and is known for connecting the two worlds of rock and electronics. dilo is currently living in a perpetual summer, splitting his time between berlin and buenos aires. dilo is running his own imprint, igloo records, and has released on numerous other labels such as we are, minus, clink, unfoundsound, and einmaleins. egon orange made is production debut in 2009 on igloo. egon has also been refining his unique live show for several years. >take me home< is a tech-house gem. strong and repetitive percussion is set against dilos own fragile voice make this a perfect summer storm. we expect you will want to take this one home as the memory of a perfect night out. >röte< is the perfect flip. warm special pads pulse along with deeply hypnotic percussion and bass. ear candy is abundant but this is a no-frills journey. >röte< gently develops with lush analog keys and heavily processed vocal oddities.

yes ... we release records. yes, its marvellous to see that journey from the spring to the sea, that spark of inspiration in an artists eye as it traverses its way to a beautifully packaged piece of 180g vinyl ... but sometimes, its also nice to remember why we started a label in the first place and to visit that dusty corner of the studio where synths, patch cables and spring reverbs lie in wait, taunting us go beyond that perfect 3am comfort zone of the 8 bar loop, hazy red/orange lights and aromatic combustibles.
in order words, heres what we did last summer ... two new ifeel studio tracks to stimulate your solar sensibilities, guest starring (via the wonders of skype) richard hawleys band, a reclusive mittle european synthesist and (lest we forget) his eccentric and slightly mad octogenarian lawyer.

hallucination limited delivers a limited edition vinyl only release from none other than fellow new yorker… zev of wolf + lamb. gathered here are zevs strongest outings for the club since the brilliant >forget the world feat. beckford<. we dare say this is his best work to date with >queen of hearts< being one of the freshest takes we have heard on good ole house music this year. pushing all the right buttons, but also some most would never think to. queen of hearts feat. panu moon the initial groove instantly does what all great house does, but what follows are the contemplative vocals of a showman on the road via panu moons soft country drawl… playfully tweaked by zev adding an edge without taking away from panus croon. an unexpected techno vibe begins to ebb and flow over the groove yet it all magically stays together through the voice of a man searching for the queen of his heart. its house music with both an edge and sense of humor not unlike paperclip people, but in a vein more akin to >every now and then< by ralph falcon

if you were to cut neville watson he would bleed acid house, he would also quite likely knock you flat on your arse for having the temerity to wave a knife at him, but thats a whole other story. for his first wu contribution he ventures down the ethereal proto-house boulevard. jacking 707 patterns, a bouncing juno bassline and outer-space synth lines take you into the upper atmosphere for a glorious airborne joyride. as ever, neville manages to evoke those 85-89 feelings without ever sounding merely retro or like some kind of pastiche, something that many attempt but very few manage to pull off. over on side u apiento, the force behind the magisterially brilliant testpressing website, chips in with a heartfelt homage to the new beat sound. another testimony to the fact that a lower tempo doesnt have to mean diminished energy levels, the orange place simply oozes class from top to bottom. like some lost ancienne belgique classic it pounds and pumps along, building up the tension all the while until the quasi- eastern refrain lets loose half way thru and all of a sudden a mystic portal opens up in the space-time continuum that leads all the way to southwark street in late 87.

in denmark, there rages a lively and experimental techno scene - and its not only a recent phenomenon. the best proof are phono and kemi, two danish imports to the berlin record label, highgrade records. the two chaps complement each other in a musically virtuoso fashion: phono, jacob thiessen, spent his childhood playing around with sequencers and drum machines: over the years he has stuck to this passion and as such, has developed a reputation as an experienced house and techno producer. kim kemi, by contrast, has been a dj since the beginning, and since the 90s has been one of the key figures in the copenhagen club scene. together they have not only performed regularly at the biggest events in denmarks capital, but have also ensured through their many releases, ever changing accents and atmospheres on the turntables. this wealth of combined musical experience can be heard instantly on their latest outing for highgrade – >decompose<. the three tracks, >decompose<, >exterminators< & >last night< assemble rhythms that come from punk, elegant voices and dizzying loops a multi-layered sound excursion. the result is a perfectly produced ep, but one that has not been ironed smooth. with the >made in denmark< seal of quality, phono and kemi bring some extra depth to the party attitude

we are happy to have a follow up of m.in on trapez ltd in collaboration with his fellow mate jonas fahz. the duo has released together already under their pseudonym of mucky pups on the trapez ltd 100 anniversary compilation in may. their a-side welcome to my house features again a jack track, produced and written this time by a whole team including: m.in, jonas fahz, peter eilmers and featuring nick maurer on vocals. bringing together old school and new school this was also the idea with m.in s debut a-side track teach me house . welcome to my house instead has more of a live jammed attitude to it... in this respect it is meaner, rougher and tougher as the predecessor! the alienated and twisted voice of nick maurer adds a psychedelic feeling that keeps you making funny faces to yourself . delgardo has been a long time favourite of m.in and jonas, it is an approved dance floor track, and indeed a slow moving... but funky rocker. fuelled by vocal snippets and fx sounds... the beat goes non stop beat non stop ! elephant blues is the favourite track of m.in and a bit of a mad and deadpan track. fitting very well to the actual chart breaking tunes that spread like a virus in the underground scene, this could be the most modern of the three tracks. equipped with a strong drive, whipping its percussion line into oblivion it is a sexy track. the original 3 tracks are Êsupported by alex piccini with a cool post detroit remix of welcome to my house and well as heartik who has speeded up elephant blues turning it into a cool techno- rush of a track.

the partnership between artists john selway and dave turov spans not only across the atlantic, but it has also resulted in a series of successful colla-borations on their label csm. the debut release on the interpull imprint showcases their signature no-nonsense, dance? oriented techno. expanding on their previous work, >choo got it ep< carries with it a modern take of classic in? uences from chicago, detroit, and berlin. this release is marked by just as much stylistic skill as it is by their technical skill: both selway and turov put the highest production values possible into their releases. the a-side of the ep, >choo got it<, grooves hard with an upbeat rhythm and a bouncing bass line that refuses to let up. combining funky house elements and a raw driving techno pace, this is the kind of track that either gets you on the dancefloor doesnt let you off once you hear it go on. the b-side, >way to my heart<, presents a darker take on the ep with plentiful bass and restless energy. it provides a cavernous sound thats happy to shake your techno cathedral of choice

some of the worlds greatest djs play his tracks, some ofthe worlds greatest producers request his services as a remixer and for years his music has featured on world renowned labels. none the less, peter horrevorts has stayed in the background whilst studying modern musicproduction at the rock academy, evolving and developing into the artist he is today. he released on numerous labels like kanzleramt, trapez, ec records, global undergound , gem records and of course be real and bla bla . he also did countless remixes for labels like bush, weave music, tronic and many more. his previous release on be real recordings, the love from above received excelent feedback and was played and loved by many djs. also his track on the recently released bla bla spring sampler did some serious damage on many dancefloors with this unresistable groove and funk in his music be real is very proud to welcome peter back for his second ep on be real with 4 brand new tracks

underwater techno. that could be leaning over backwards in just two words. tobias freunds debut album for ostgut ton also serves as the longplayer introduction for his tobias. moniker, gives a fascinating and profound insight into his special world of music and sound science.

the good the bad the ugly the evil is a full on and brandnew 4 track ep from our cologne artist roland m. dill. roland has worked here with a stronger live-set up resulting in tracks more organic. developing from within rather than being developed, the tracks seem to have a stronger hypnotic edge to them. according to the titels the track all show diffferents characteristic. starting with the evil this track is not very obvious but works very much by itself, whereas the good is a perfect intermezzo for djs who really build up their sets with a lot of skill. the ugly is a mental track... it has stunts, it screams, it sees no end... this is mandness on the highest level and also the bad is written in this veain.

for the first album ever being released on ki we invited biodub, a producer/dj from the north of germany, who impressed us with his fusion of dub, techno, electronica and is a musician throughout. bringing in his experience as the drummer of instrumental band noetics and based on a minimalistic foundation, his tracks are playful in a microscopically way. in between deep bass lines and characteristic dub chords, various sounds coming from field recording sessions and sometimes also acoustic instruments, making this piece of music extremely warm and alive. biodub tries to transform visual impressions into his music. he finds most of these impressions in nature but sometimes also in machines or buildings in connection with their environment. the album is equally comfortable on the dance floor as in the living room. but you would rather enjoy his music on an open field in the nature than on your couch. the album will be released as a full 2 x12 inch lp, and cd in folded hardcover with photography, graphic and layout coming from ki s amélie kai and since it leaves so much space for interpretation, there will be a 12 inch-single with remixes of stereociti and koi.

die 4 herren der harten schule zeigen was die heute noch alles drauf haben ... the quartet don?t just push all the right leftfield buttons and bling the tweak fantastic, they also reinvent the contemporary groove and find funk in the freak. superb stuff that defies classification ? just like the producers themselves.

after a longer break berliner frank mueller and london based ulrich schnauss have surfaced from their studio labyrinth to present the beroshima longplayer >polyphonication<. following a string of eps and remixes the fourth beroshima album was long overdue! it continues to explore the stylistic frame defined by the recent successful releases on cocoon, soma and mueller records and yet manages to surpass the expectations set by these skilfully crafted productions. beroshima defy genre boundaries and incorporate a wide range of sonic colours out of a studio filled with current and vintage equipment whilst also drawing from long term experience on the live and dj circuit. ten tracks that deliver state of the art dance music with more than just a touch of funk which never lose the spirit of exploration

proper heat slid onto the nangsphere last year with their nifty >we are ready< ep. they certainly were… good reception all around and some fine plaudits. fast forward on 6 months and we are really pleased that the follow up >move ep< hits the streets. proper heat are from lithuania and are made up of martin virgin, saxtone and some fine vocals from karolis ramoska. laid-back, accessible disco house is the order of the day with this ep. we have two finely voiced tracks. dulcet tones and catchy songs abound with karolis doing a fine job in the voice department. lead track >the move” is mid tempo groover. mixes from nang label new-long-found-friend james bright and label stalwart (and supertop photographer) ichisan… you are always a subject when you are in the same room as this guy…. snap snap snap. james grooves it up with tight synthy bass and ichisan gets electronic and rolling. you can check out the video for >the move< on youtube and our home page too. the equally able >get ready< also makes a strerling appearance on the ep. another fine disco groovoid song. all in all the package overflows with extra dubs and instrumentals. bountiful disco abounds.

following his two recent singles on scubas hotflush recordings, london based george fitzgerald is back with his much-anticipated third release and his debut for aus music. titled silhouette, the three-track ep includes two originals and a remix from american producer john roberts. fitzgerald once again manages to create a world in which garage, dubstep, house, r&b and a host of other musical influences happily co-exist. on silhouette hints of warm acid, layered oscillating synth lines, propulsive beats and fitzgeralds signature use of vocal samples make this a peak time affair, albeit an incredibly lush one. reset is eight minutes of forward thinking uk garage combined with the melodic sensibilities of detroit techno. for the silhouette remix, roberts develops a relentless broken groove, occasionally punctured by brief piano interludes that recall the sounds of his 2011 debut full-length on dial records, glass eights. a breathtaking remix that sounds like nothing else out there at the moment. in addition to silhouette, fitzgerald currently has remixes out for french house producer brawther on secretsundaze and uk bass artist throwing snow, as well as an upcoming ep on hotflush and a track on the labels recent compilation, back and 4th. this year will also bring the founding of man make music, a new label fitzgerald is starting with friends.

the -makeovers- project is a compilation of some of claudes best re-twists, some of which are so far removed they can almost be considered original works. this special edition vinyl includes one of the most sought after remixes, -warpaint- originally by pocket 808 in australia, vonstroke turned this into a late night anthem in 2007. played by techno djs, dubstep djs, and everyone in between this track was never cut to vinyl until now. on the flip side claude remixed the nublu orchestra out of new york. he was never completely happy with the original version of the remix and hes gone back and re-made it into a very special piece of music including a new vocal sample from his wife aundy who also did the vocal effects in whos afraid of detroit? this collection was put together with the theme that a remix can be an inspiring starting point for an entirely new piece of music. these are two of the deeper and darker remixes but we think you agree they are also very special.

after a rather long creative break, boxer recordings and dusty kid have returned with a rather unusual acoustic near-death experience: >argia< not only is the title of dusty kids new maxi release, but also the name of a spider indigenous to sardegna, the most feared argia spider can inflict a painful bite which can be fatal to human beings.

fantastic and incredibly rare afro-disco album from 1978. originally released on the seminal french disco label barclay, this album seamlessly blends elements of african, afrobeat, funk and disco styles, with segments continually morphing and evolving into new tracks. irresistibly funky and percussive, this album’s drumming patterns and melodies grandually hypnotise the listener, with only outbreaks of african chanting breaking up the grooves. the b-side is effectively one long drum track broken down into 7 segments that never drop a beat. this album really takes the listener on a journey to africa, via 1978 new york, and is a real one of a kind. it’s also a samplers dream with no end of complex drum patterns and basslines to recycle.

nice price deal !!! the emergence of (another) very british sound in the form of dubstep some years back now has mutated into something altogether more cerebral. the chain are a product of this incipient sound and the many new strands that have splintered forward from it. dan foat is one half of the team that runs r&s, the newly invigorated label that is back at the forefront of contemporary electronic music. he’s also one half of the chain. dan & nathan boddy have for a while now had a studio near london bridge, which has formed into the r&s engine room, a hub for the second wave of their artists, pariah, james blake, space diimension controller et al who regualrly pass through the basement to drink tea and listen to new tracks.

since decadence in june 2010 and seven eps released this year, dame music is a continuous story of success and has established itself in the underground music scene. the triumph of bloody marys >arabesque< ep on national radios was a turning point for the label which has defined its musical identity, a modern genre of electronic music blended with a touch of rock, disco, classic or new wave influences. last hits sierra sams >queen of spade< ep and komatons >dehunt< ep are an excellent representation of the dame-music signature. the artwork of the label has also seen a significant evolution by the quality of its covers and teasers which fully fits with the music. to celebrate its first anniversary and give a first overview of the label imprint, dame-music is proud to present potluck, a special compilation of unreleased tracks, produced by five duos (one of the dame-musics artists, plus one of their friend). bloody mary got this concept to gather the dame-music family (mostly consisted by marys berlin based artists and friends) to work hand in hand with the music and artwork. they shared talent, creativity, emotions and ideas.

fantastic limited reissue of this amazing self-titled afro-funk lp from ghanaian singing and percussion star sidiku buari. originally released in 1975, this super-rare album features an all-star cast of top funk instrumentalists playing alongside buari and boy does it show! blending heavy african rhythms with funky disco grooves, the arrangements and the playing are incredibly tight and the album is chock-full of killer tracks including advice from father (sampled by everyone from kenny dope to groove armada) and ku ka maria with its intense funky breaks and awesome drumming from legend bernard ‘pretty’ purdie, which made these tracks huge on the b-boy/breaking scene also. other stand-out tracks include the wonderful disco-tinged afro monsters karam bani and iro le pa plus the cool laidback groove of them yebtheget. top class!

backchat titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced electronic music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you ll ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. on vinyl – as we like our little record-shop around the corner.
