2007 release with remixes by the muthafunkaz.

after a string of fresh remixes, including a great one for the homewreckers here on circus, dave aju offers this two-track side project treat while we await his next album. picking up where he and the invisible art trio left off, and adding another member, we are proud to present thèse unique cuts by mr. aju and his new sol percussion ensemble.using a single percussion instrument for each track, aju and the ensemble bring a raw acoustic and upbeat live jam session vibe to the proceedings on “vibra” the scene shifts to day, as an unabashedly sunny feeling builds up into a sort of loose latin jazz/house interpretation of bob james’ “spunky, filled with refreshingly fun instrumentation and vocal accompaniments- it’s that vibe! . “flexa” starts off with a strong rhythm base, then takes off into the night as warm bass tones and vocal scat chants alternate over the course of this future-meets-primitive hypnotic groover. both tracks reintroduce some playful sonic alternatives to today’s more discerning dance floors, and with the diverse background of aju and his fellow sf bay area ensemble members, there’s plenty of soul and sol, just in time for summer.

nice price deal !!! with juno records hitting its tenth release we revisit yet another classic from the archives of electronic music royalty. producer, label boss, dj & remixer extraordinaire, charles webster will need no introduction to house music lovers, and its his 1998 collaboration with renowned uk vocalist shara nelson which gets a 2010 touch up. orignally out on the seminal label pagan, >sense of danger< was a real deep house anthem back in 1998, so it was imperative to leave it in good hands for remix duties. the popular peoples front, the disco house supergroup made up of anonymous musical activists are just that. ppf breath new life into >sense of danger<, with nelsons vocal being matched by an effervescent dubby groove. an alternate dangerous dub gives the track a darker but equally melodic feel with an abrasive bassline central to the groove.

>vibrational studies (in echospace)< is an alternate version of album opener >in echospace< and revolves around a relentless cycle of washed-out analogue loops layered around submerged field recordings and electric currents that somehow propel the track while at the same time immersing it in one of the headiest mixes hitchell and modell have ever recorded. >symbolism in transition< finds modell deploying a deep and padded configuration with a sort of late night shuffle so beloved of move d, all squashed house vibes, sparkling melodic currents and bursts of barely- there white noise û its a gentle, beautiful thing.

long awaited lp debut from this oklahoma group, who recorded these tracks back in the 80s, but for whatever reason most of them never got released. especially check out the instrumental from >whos girl are you?< an incredible synth/disco track! a very good job has been done on the mastering, considering these tracks were mastered from an old cassette tape!tip!

funky housetune by manny velasquez, featuring the voice of clifton king. remix comes from boyd jarvis.

as the third single released in anticipation of scott hansen’s long-awaited full-length as tycho, “coastal brake” may be the best yet—a sweet slice of dream-beat that glides over the ocean surface like a high-speed waverider. “coastal brake”’s vintage synthesizers set the pointillistic scene, blipping and popping around a near-balearic rhythm like melancholy drops in a river, rising and falling and building to a shimmering climax. it’s not quite dance music—more like tycho’s soft-focus take on the escapist beauty of house music. the single’s three remixes do the original ample justice. danish producer (and syntaks collaborator) manual takes “coastal brake” at half-time and shoots it full of feedback, bringing a scorched-earth weight to the proceedings, while hatchback’s “cosmic caviar dub version” turns down the contrast and places the song in a cave full of drugged-out pianos. lusine hacks up “coastal brake” and repurposes the bits for his own stutter-stepping, downbeat funk. listen closely, and you’ll hear shards of “coastal brake” sparkling in between the beats. limited edition (1000 copies) of tychos >coastal brake< on 180 gram vinyl including alternate artwork poster. tycho is the music project of san francisco artist and producer scott hansen. as tycho, hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. known in the design world as iso50, hansen is famed for his bucolic, sun-drenched design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output.

the machine has been kick-started! industrial movement returns from the dark with a fierce 4-tracker under strict guidance by deathmachine. get your fix with both mid and up-tempo uk hardcore beats! solid productions showcasing the enhanced mechanics of one of britains next-level producers. theres nothing unlucky about the thirteenth release at im when this audio hits your decks!

after recent successes on his other label, donnacha costello returns to his look long imprint with the storming one sided monster that is ten thousand hours. to begin, an ominous, growling, analog siren calls out from costellos roland sh-101, alerting us that our presence is required on the dancefloor before rattling, shuffling hi-hats mark out the groove and we head out on an ecstatic 7 minute analogue journey through a universe inhabited by wispy shadows of s-express, 808 state, mathew jonson and costellos own classic colorseries sound. words dont do justice to this one. simply drop the needle on the record and escape to an alternate universe on a magic carpet of analog synths and drum machines. ten thousand hours appears as a very limited one sided vinyl edition and wont be re-pressed. dont sleep

the title track is a dreamy balearic disco number with perky female vocals (comes with a beatless alternate version). all out of order is a quirky throwback to eclectic 80s pop ballads, think laurie anderson on autotune (comes with a version sung in spanish)

this is quenums first release on clapper!
a side: cargo
this track is techno with a touch of old school, but decidedly modern, not nostalgic. it s built on a groovy techno rhythm that quenum knows to do so well, with a recurring agitative sound that takes you one level higher. the earthy music, rooted by the feet in the ground, grabs the hips.
b side: ouidah
welcome to west africa and the port city of ouidah, home of the quenum clan. this track is classic quenum, clear-headed techno influenced by african rhythm, hypnotic percussions and inimitable touches that add warmth to the sober mix. this one is for the head, but without letting go of the hips.
dachshund and quenum will alternate their work on each release, so look out for the upcoming clapper 003 by dachshund. in the meantime, check out this track and enjoy the show!

originally released in 2004. includes spaced out ewan pearson remix!!

mobach makes a deep, soulful, warm and groovy hybrid between house, electro, dub and jazzy electronics. one of the deepest pieces of vinyl you ll hear this year. mobach already featured on the electronic generation album on sd and with this debut 12 he drops a future classic. title-track metrobots is as funky as it is soulful and warm. the beautiful sounds and voices keep building to an emotional climax on top of a deephouse groove with a slight jackin twist to it, which simply keeps you going. submersion dub is a funky combination of house, electro and breaks: deep and dubby. alternate moods is the most jazzy track that featured until now on the ever forward thriving sd records. it s loose and lovely. excellent!

hailing from montpellier, rodriguez jr. makes his return to leena with “kids of hula,” bringing the coastal sounds of his hometown along with him. after the success of “rubbo swingo”, his first release on leena, rodriguez jr.—who also comprises half of f communications’ the youngsters—went on to release records for boxer recordings and mothership. on leena’s 11th release, he has returned for a second round, once again displaying his softer side as a housey, psychedelic producer. “kids of hula“ begins on a strongly melodic note with airy, exotic chords leading the way and occasional accents of tropical percussion lining the backdrop. old-school throwbacks also have their place here, as the track climaxes with the use of psychedelic vintage sounds that recall the work of space disco giant lindstrom until they ultimately fuse together with the track’s initial harmonies to create a complex and layered final product. the b-side “pandora” begins with a more stuttered beat and a warbled, static-laced environment. the track reaches its high point with psychedelic sounds comparable to those heard on the a-side that possess a more hypnotic, melodic, and spacey twist. digital exclusive “offshore” fills its landscape with fragments of vocals and high pitched bleeps, blurps, squeals that alternate in time with one another until vintage synthesizers enter the picture. as the track progresses, the old-school synthesizer sounds and vocal snippets unite and begin to work together in unison, by the time the track reaches its peak, the vintage synths have taken on a completely new sound and direction, guiding the pulse of the track until its ending.

it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision

this is the 4th record from a set of 6, ranging from atlantikwall 007 to atlantikwall 012. originally sold as a boxset, the remaining sets available from the label are now sold separately

having quickly established himself as a bright new talent, with releases on respected platforms like drumpoet community, resopal and sthlmaudio, langenberg is the latest promising producer to grace the dessous label catalogue. a long flowing, proud and distinctly current sounding moment in house, >alternate rhythm< stakes its foundations in filtered, warping vocal loops, deeply rooted percussion and dubbed out effects. an urgently rousing synthline lifts the tension higher as langenberg breaks it down in classic style, resulting in a fulfilling and tempting treat for the dancefloor. berlin residing sensation sven weisemann first introduced his talents to the world through his work on the styrax leaves and mojuba imprints. now the young nu-wave-deep-house producer adds his own special touch with his ?allop rhythm remix? stripping down the original? sound palette into a delicious trip into precision dub deepness. taking inspiration from the legacy of both the us and german deep house fraternities, weisemann makes his intentions clear with this beautifully crafted, collectors?cut remix. tracklisting: a alternate rhythm b alternate rhythm (weisemann? gallop remix)

3 cuts from the upcoming mix the vibe: teddy douglas & dj spen series!

d-passion continues the flow with the infection e.p., seventh in a stylistic row of hardcore monsters. drop-dead contagious melodies and distorted kicks. the flip-side delivers an alternate sound with promo remixing >realism< into a force of electronics as well as the co-op between d-passion and alex b: >plat & voorspelbaar<, the dutch vocal fitted trasher for any dancefloor. four tracks - filthy edge included, the infection is everywhere!

inspired to bring back to life the spirit of their teen and death metal heroes, koljah & oliver deutschmann deliver the 4th konsequenz vinyl slowly we rot . as in their previous releases on vidab and konsequenz, house music is the major player here, presented in 5 different interpretations, for alternate stages of the night. eaten back to life starts the journey with deep vocals, percussions, and hooky horns. picked by sebo k as his personal weekend weapon, the track keeps diving in deeper and deeper until it sucks you in and takes you over. ed davenport s stripped remix, as in its title, is a stripped down power house, that compliments, and in a way completes the original. davenport s shutterdrop remix will be available as a digital bonus. altars of madness on the flip is a harder, more upfront evolution of the a side. techy loops and deep synths support the lead that will stay with you hours after leaving the club. the re edit is a more crisp sharp tech house track, rounding off a record that represents konsequenz right and proud. up next on the label look over feel from mojoe with remixes from daniel stefanik and marlow.

following on from 2008s massive marcel dettmann remix on mikrowave, this is part 1 of kevin gormans groundbreaking new elements series. the title is elements because kevin will be making available every single component sound (or element) of every single track, as well as a wealth of alternate versions, bonus beats, dj tools, loops and effects. creative djs and producers take note.

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

fresh from the success of his new album, ninja tuna, mr scruff dips his line back in the sea with the funktabulous get on down. taking a little chunk of 70s soul goodness (a prince phillip mitchell song, sung by johnny adams) and turning it into scruffy sashimi, this is undoubtedly one of the dancefloor stand outs of an album guaranteed to get any crowd bumping. hold on, on the other hand, features the smooooth vox of andreya triana, but nothing can stop scruff from dropping lashings of bass squelch - plus a little extra bangingness on the alternate version hold the dub. altogether uplifting, chest vibrating and all round marvellous, this is brit soul the way it should be done.

zero cash is back, served in slices! dont say what you think comes at you with two different versions, both hot out the over. the main mix is straight ahead, bangin and dark for the peak hours and tends to make you very nervous. the alternate mix takes you down the dial to minimal/sci fi soundtrack land slathered over an intentionally thicker crust. both mixes are hot and heavy and not for the feint of heart. then in classic zero cash style he lightens stuff up for the b side with more than enough taking you on an electro journey remniscent of 80s cop shows and shoot em up video games. served in slices, get em while they re hot!!!

brand new record from sacred rhythm music featuring the 12 release of h.garden & joi’s >gentle rain<, which features brand new mixes of the deep future classic plus alternate mixes of the vocal jam, >cravin<, both rendered anew by the srm’s joe claussell.

nice price deal !!! noir presents black magik with fuck me on just for fun recordings could quite easily be billed as porno house, as its clear that the new wave of danish dance is not only aiming at the alternate dance market, but could well be playing a starring role before the sun rises on another summer season.

re release of this incredible boogie bomb with a devastating bassline

minimal detroit techno. the cryovac machine intends to find common ground between alternate views of the minimal style. this composit will reflect the attitude and ingenuity of detroits resident noise makers. team cryovac begins with michelle hermann (hej/ punisher)dark and aloof, minimal 4/4 techo lead by a crisp snare and followed by an arrangement of restless bass, beeping subliminal vocals and shifting kikcs+tics. andy garcia(docile) offers a clamoring,4/4 floor cut that beings with a waiver, is at points over come by the nod and incessantly beeps+rattles on after a surly funk!

smooth breaks track with alternate male/female vocals. mixes by philipe de boyar and marschmellows

here s an appetizer before the full length nebraska album drops on dl. vicarious disco (alt. mix) is a slightly different mix of one of the key album tracks, a combination of an insistent looped up riff, soaring orchestral strings, and a hot nickels synth bassline. me me me goes more juan style techno, all portamento slides and peppered staccato melodies a jacker! for the b side, we asked one of our all-time favorite producers to remix vicarious disco soul 223, aka stasis. its similar in style to his other soul 223 stuff, his personalized take on detroit beatdown house.

percussion backed progressive journey with cool alternate female/male vocal samples on the a side flip over for a stomping tribal remix by jaso

hungry so angry (live version) is taken from a recording of a dutch concert. tighter, funkier and sharper than the lp and 12 versions. 151 (alternate version) is the version from the hotmix 5 acid house lp which we prefer to the one on the westbrook 12

stuck in time is a personal statement on a particular time and of particular experiences in my life. the sounds codebase choses to use on this album point towards an alternate universe of where music may have gone instead of where it is now, fusing analog disco bass and electric piano sounds reminiscent of the 1970s with sampled electronic percussion sounds of today. this juxtaposition crystallizes the temporally frozen sonic landscape of the album a musical fossil from somewhere outside the linear progression of time

underworld strike back & who better to take the helm on remix duties than the king of the alternate groove paul woolford. he delivers two dance floor friendly, quirky, bumping electro mixes. this also contains the underworld riverun breaks-style version that sounds ultimately dirty, grubby & altogether fresh
