lvis mejías third release is a self curated selection of his renewed old recordings. lostoys is the result of a well-polished archive looking through the glass of composed atemporality. perceiving it as a full circled voyage wandering through jazzy hues, adventurous electronica, analog warmth and edgy digital synthesis, lostoys represents his most ludic material released, so far.

mit hits wie waterfalls, no scrubs und creep- sowie 65 millionen verkauften alben, vier grammys, platin und diamant-auszeichnungen, zehn top 10-singles und vier nummer 1 singles gehören tlc bis heute zu den erfolgreichsten und einflussreichsten girlgroups aller zeiten. jetzt meldet sich die band nach 15 jahren eindrucksvoll zurück. nach dem ersten musikalischen lebenszeichen way back mit westcoast-rap-legende snoop dogg, erscheint jetzt mit haters die erste single aus dem neuen album der legendären girlgroup. war way back noch ein astreiner neunziger-throwback-track, haben tlc mit haters einen echten pop-banger am start. haters gonna hate / people gonna say what they say / but we dont care about that anyway, singen t-boz & chilli und widmen sich in dem song einem aktuellen thema: mobbing in den sozialen netzwerken - und machen deutlich, für derartige lästereien hat das duo nur ein selbstbewusstes schulterzucken übrig. -haters- ist die erste single aus dem neuen, selbstbetitelten album tlc, zugleich der erste longplayer seit 3d aus dem jahr 2002. nachdem lisa left eye lopes sieben monate vor albumveröffentlichung bei einem autounfall ums leben kam, wurde es ruhig um t-boz und chilli. erst 2015 meldeten sich die beiden mit einem spendenaufruf zurück und sammelten mithilfe der crowdfunding plattform kickstarter 430.000 dollar für die produktion einer neuen platte. künstler wie katy perry, new kids on the block und justin timberlake beteiligten sich an der aktion. das vinyl-album erscheint mit 12 neuen tracks.

transit records 005, -without end hours“, comes loaded with phat, but definitely distinct dancefloor bangers that take the title of the ep quite literally. they cover a full night (and day) out in the club, and range from dark, technoish house („when your groove is mine-), over uplifting re-interpretations of classic house anthems (-without end hours-), and dystopian tech-house (negativ dekadent remix), through to sizzling after hour house (zuckermann remix). ryoma sasaki’s originals show his love for classic electronic music blueprints and how he is able to turn them creatively into something compellingly fresh and contemporary. it feels like listening (and dancing) to something you know, but not from the past, more so from the now. and while they wonderfully work in that now of the night, negativ dekadent turns this familiar feeling into an uneasiness with the future, only to make you forget about it in the abyss of his beats and overwhelming synth patterns just before the morning breaks. finally, zuckermann fully beams you into the slightly distorted new world you might find yourself in anyway at 11 am on a beautiful sunny morning on one of those (berlin) dancefloors.

what does teen spirit smell like, anyway? it might smell something like noise addict. like the real life stars of some sort of choose-your-own-adventure book about pursuing rock stardom, few bands ever led a more charmed existence, springing from the sydney suburb of bondi into seemingly overnight international fame as friends and collaborators of sonic youth, fugazi, and the beastie boys. through a combination of relentless drive, luck, and an admirable lack of self-doubt, noise addict spanned puberty to surpass the haters and join radio birdman and nick cave as a strange but permanent piece of australian punk history.
compiled here are 25 tracks, including their evan dando-worshipping satire “i wish i was him,” the thurston moore produced demo, choice cuts from their grand royal-issued ep and lp, and covers of “let’s lynch the landlord” and “back in your life.” the entire sordid adolescent tale is covered in incredible detail inside the black and white 16 page zine. and finally, for the first time in the history of record pressing, and for no good reason at all, the cover for 10.000 kids with guitars doubles as a working chalkboard.
limited to 2000 copies on black vinyl.

darauf kann man sich verlassen: wo joey negro draufsteht, ist tanzmusik drin. seit der 13-jährige david russell lee 1977 in einer tv sendung den song boogie nights von heatwave hörte, ist er vom disco-virus infiziert. und den ist er bis heute nicht mehr losgeworden. obwohl produced with love erst sein zweites eigenständiges album nach universe of love von 1993 ist, hat joey negro in den vergangenen dekaden mächtige spuren im dance-bereich hinterlassen. nicht nur produzierte er zahlreiche chartbreaker, dancefloor-kracher und remixe unter diversen pseudonymen (jakatta, raven maize, doug willis, prospect park u.v.a.m.), vor allem war er für grace jones, diana ross, deep dish, lionel richie, mariah carey, tears for fears, ultra nate, masters at work, roy ayers, blaze und roger sanchez aktiv. hinzu kommen kollaborationswerke, bandprojekte und eine reihe herausragender kompilationen wie die house masters-serie, remixed with love, disco not disco oder kings of house. kurz: ob mainstream oder underground, joey negro ist ein mann der superlative, bei dem einfach jeder beat, jedes hook und jeder loop perfekt sitzt.

dj haus (the hardest working man in show business!) teams up with mak & pasteman for our landmark quarter century release!!! how the hell did that happen? we only expected to manage about 4 releases tops? we are really proud to welcome these guys to the ever expanding dabj family, and they have not let us down with this first release... the title track and -bang it- are room shaking heavy bass numbers, which we have been rinsing for almost a year now... drive mf sounds like paul johnson and daniel bell -stuck in an elevator- (or some other bullshit analogy like that...). all 3 tracks = essential. period. -buy on sight- etc etc... carefully hand stamped by the two slackest men in show business (or at least one of them anyway...)

what is love? we had away once then we lost it. so russ told us we got to find it and yazz said it was up but elvis said it was down. the west went out and harrods went in if only essex could have shown us before sid bloody murdered it. no matter. at light sounds dark we like ours with kurds anyway. unequivocal love, 100% pure love love on top of love.. its hard.

following their atalanta-12inch, stockholm-based farbror resande mac returns to horisontal mambo with this extended ep of b**earic bliss. through releases on labels such as aficionado, back to the balearics and is it balearic they ve carved their own niche in the tropical music climate we northeners like to embrace. although it s hard to to escape the use of the dreaded b-word it might be the most fitting label still. anyway, we love it and we hope you do to.

dj mehdi is back with a second single from his album lucky boy. to make things easy we choose to put out the track lucky boy as new single. an exclusive track, 2 remixes and one club edit is the perfect package we propose you, lucky you! lucky girl is the follow up of lucky boy, fafi on the mic, could have been gwen, but she was busy, and fafi rocked it anyway. two of the hottest french producers delivered the remixes.outlines, the parisian duo signed on jazzanovas label sonar kollektiv droped a slice of 50s boogie. surkin from institubes label proposed us a trip between baltimore and chicago in 4 minutes! thomas bangalterwas crazy about signatune. we ask the chief to make a club friendly edit, how lucky you are!

reissue of this very rare gospel/disco masterpiece, originally released at only 1000 private-press copies, and surprisingly unknown and underrated until today. calvin bernard rhone, a native of los angeles, has been ministering in word and song for more than 40 years throughout the us and abroad. he acknowledges that he is passionate about music, yet purposed for ministry. beginning his professional singing career at age eight, he has shared the stage with possibly every major gospel artist from the 60’s to present. in 1983, he released the album intimate friends on his own label, c.b.r. records. recently discovered by dj and collector charles maurice, the lp has never received the attention and fame it deserves. it was anyway obvious for the dj and favorite recordings, that some of the tracks it includes would for sure become real classics for all disco and funk music lovers and deejays. officially licensed to calvin b. rhone himself, its today reissued for the first time, as a 3 tracks vinyl single.

remastered reissue of the 1968 album by frank zappa & the mothers of invention. the vinyl lp comes in a gatefold sleeve.

in this age of pre-set play lists and total sharing of music, you more or less get served what you expect to hear. your musical preferences are predictable and you - with little or no effort - get access to music that suits your self-image perfectly and places you in a safe zone.
but what if these babysitting services went on vacation and you’re suddenly left alone in the post-industrial outback? where do you start looking? at first listen you might feel that the songs on loving hell by vox low, released on hoga nord rekords, might not suit your needs in such a cold, harsh existence. but that’s where you’re wrong. vox low’s sound might first appear frightening and cold to you but the tracks on this ep most of all carries with them depth, energy and persistence: the perfect soundtrack to reboot your system to and to get you going straight forward without looking back. this is music for the aftermath of a cathartic experience, music that generates a propulsion that makes you wanna walk on that road forever, music to help you rediscover what punk, rock and electronica really should be about - gut feeling.

madrids downbeat have a good name around these parts - now jose rico steps up for off minor with the deep correctness. tip! label owner, gcz, says these three cuts will lead you deep into jose rico s dreams. on first listen you can immediately tell these were made by someone super sensitive and experienced in this thing some call deep house. if you are a dj, youll appreciate this selection, cause it makes your job easy and gets the floor busy in a sec. if you re a human, you ll appreciate it cause it ll make you feel stuff you havent felt in a while. anyway, i m very proud to release this record on off minor. jose rico and i go way back. this is a special record for me. orpheu de jong designed this wonderful sleeve. he has a gift. enjoy!

a collection of 22 songs from elvis presley, all recorded in 1956. collectors edition 180 gram heavyweight vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

for their 2nd release, the parisian label have decided to play -rawze- & clubby. then they called around7 for that. the french producer has digged his best rythm voices, bumpin bass lines, heavy beats & some crazy samples to give us his version of funk. and for sure, funk is in da house & that s pure joy to play this record live, for make the dancefloor wet!! anyway, rawze ep is guaranteed fun, approved by ondulé recordings & served only on limited wax… once again all the ingredients for an unlimited pleasure!!!

french artist kool vibe is back on his own paris-based label kv records with a new 4 track ep. true to the mission assigned to the label, this release brings us back to the early 90s through basics sounds and elements which have defined deep house since then : fat syncopated rhythms, heavy and groovy basslines, warm chopped vocals. there is something raw and genuine about this record. basics and back to the reala definitely emphasize the minimal and raw side of deep house. tribute is humbly dedicated to the legendary todd terry, whose ultimate knowledge of the art of sampling contributed to shape house music in the early days. at last, sleazy joint (touch it, suck it) closes the record with a nasty and sexy touch. anyway, the whole ep is meant for the dancefloor and the simple pleasure of partying.

this the second album by big funk factory d-funkt! the soundtrack to the story transaction declined traces the final adventure of dweeb droid and introduces aged rocker awm, whose perfidious character we will suffer a good deal more in the final chapter of the big funk epic bucky ball. anyway back to d-funkt! the band s usual cast features amongst others mat johnson (jamiroquai, laura doggit, julian perretta, duffy) as the nerdmeister general on keyboards. wayne nunes and perry melius (tricky, aswad, billy ocean) as that tall bloke and the metrognome on bass and drums

first release of the new label from andrade & sakro, bon vivant! vinyl only.

gone beyond. that s what they say when an (astro) pilot crashes to earth and takes the journey into the big sky. when juan trippe took that last flight little did he know that his re-incarnated self would be an electronic pioneer. in tandem with his co-pilot guido zen (his own father also a pilot) and kyle martin (from the land of light) they formed brain machine and scaled the highest peaks to bring back music both unearthly and intensely human. are we all not stardust anyway? this music proves it, takes you out flips you over and rolls you in stardust. don t try and think it through, make sense of it, grasp it - just wander in wonder and bask in beauty. get lost again.

monoton ‘monotonprodukt 02’, also known as mp02, is the debut album of austrian electronic maverick konrad becker. out in 1980 it was a precursor of the minimal techno dub sound that was starting to be popular more than 15 years after. the album has been reissued by desire a couple of years ago and a new pressing is in the work. anyway it’s time to launch a remix ep with new (and not so new) producers giving crédit to the work of the austrian master. on the a side we find 3 new artists paying their dues : sergie rezza, whose debut album out on desire was critically acclaimed, abdulla rashim (abdulla rashim records / northern electronics / semantica) and also opal tapes’ boss stephen bishop own basic house. the b-side is a great megamix of the album tracks by the one and only ambient/electronica veteran scanner !

our direct connection to bruxelles is sending the newest message out to the melancholic techno universe ... some might call it emohouse or gothtechno. anyway - they have our full support!

pushing through the 100th release barrier, quantize recordings drop a limited edition 7” exclusively for record store day!
john morales and dj spen (spencer morales) present an instant classic of synergized soul destined for heavy dance floor rotation, the instantly recognisable randy roberts (aka fruity from jasper street company) provides a soulful and energetic song about finding his true love and never letting her go!
on the flip is the one and only alicia myers right here, right now (hallelujah anyway), which will make you raise your hands in praise and worship. alicia’s legendary, timeless voice is beautifully captivating with this performance and we know you will not be disappointed.

london or l.a.? we are guessing uk from the amusing motorway reference anyway, we have not entirely worked it out yet. two clear cut floor rumblers here - following on nice that previous heat for l.a. club resource, a few years back.

jetzt erscheinen bowies sechs studioalben aus den jahren 1969-1973 einzeln auf 180g vinyl, die bereits im umfangreichen box-set david bowie five years 1969-1973 zu finden waren, welches im september 2015 erschien.
für die alben space oddity, the man who sold the world, hunky dory und pinups! wurde die remasterte version von 2015 verwendet, während für the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars auf das 2012er remaster bzw. bei aladdin sane auf die remasterte version von 2013 zurückgegriffen wurde.

almost exactly three years after nr&, a project uniting &me’s and rampa’s production with the voice of new york disco-house-siren nomi, dropped their debut ep, we finally can announce a new chapter in this ongoing transatlantic menage. this very “spoken for” ep is comprised of two new tracks, that again fuse songwriting with floor-demands and showcase the same crackling and pulse quickening passion that instantly has become nr&’s trademark. so here’s the evidence – a long distance relationship is not necessarily doomed to get boring after a while. “taste like” on a might be conceived as the club-affair of those two new joints. a tune indulging in self-control, extending the pre- eruptive moment of excitement to track length. there is nomi’s unmistakeable sexed up oration, flanked by an affirmative thunderstorm of claps, then a bass heavy bridge, overflowing into a noise brushed finale. altogether a tasty flavour carrier for an effective floor heating. “spoken for” is not only the title track, but also the hymn coming out of the flipside ambush. there is no kick necessary to underpin what nomi’s charismatic croon is laying down. therefore a wise choice to let the arrangement of interspersed field recordings, percussive details and piano- and synth-decoration exercise in unobtrusiveness. safe to say, this tune will refine many future peaktimes anyway.

since maxime dangles contribution to our head honcho gregor treshers breaking new soil vol. 7 early 2015 we received several fantastic new oevres from the frenchman. it wasnt easy to decide which ones to release but sian (octopus records) gave us a hand and focussed on fokal for his remix! anyway we are proud to release maximes debut ep for break new soil and are curious how you share our taste.

supalatino returns with another top notch compilation of funky latino floorfillers, digging even deeper into the vaults to bring you some serious fire. repress 2015

sugar - a sweet track, some ones called it deep house, some others found it filtered disco house, anyway it brings flavour on the dancefloor, black or white you decide how much you want on your coffee, giving you a strong message of love, passion, and ecstasy, with the elegance and smooth that makes seducing yourself.

appropriate to the golden gate club s philosophy and attitude, -its never to late for gate-, ggcr is coming up with cat.002. it took nearly 2 years for this second release, we could also say, better now then never or good things take time, but hey, who cares anyway? to the content, -golden times- is a exclusive various artist collection, trying to reflect the wide spectrum of sound we find in the place. four very different producers with four different tracks but yet a unique vibe. techno, deep house, tech house and electronica goes here very smoothly hand in hand. while only three of them, saytek, midas 104 and elizar & dromme are placed on the vinyl, samuel fach s -technologie- has been added as digital bonus.

two of house music s finest and most respected artists, kiko navarro & dj fudge, join up for a magnificent debut outing on large music. created over a period of two days in the hong kong studio of dj fudge, each track showcases sublime chords, elegant grooves and classic summer vibes. the b side cut limbo even edges into more minimalist territory while still preserving the emotive elements. as a bonus we enlist large artists purple velvet for a deep house rework of anyway i want in their trademark chunky style.

title track is a beautiful and epic journey in techno soul quite rare to hear these days, reminding a bit of early nineties detroit/uk techno and even some of the early speedy j works, all with nowadays production skills. stunning contemporary techno the classic way. then from heaven to hell with 60606, an evil distorted acidic drum track guaranteed to damage kids brains worldwide. but no time to think long anyway cause theres we only have, an autistic out-of the-box jack track providing a sneaky tool for the more adventurous dj. this will separate the gurners from the dancers. top-notch showcase by the unstoppable man-machine that is marco bernardi!

last copies left , ltd blow out ... another artist, another font. bouncing techno business from manchester. a smiley analogue instrumental that in some bizarre way could be the illegitimate child of an early human league jam and our recent truffle club release, or something like that anyway

coming off the heels of his son of sound 02 ep and night shift release on basement floor, henry maldonado releases yet another son of sound ep on his district 30 imprint. east coast house vibrations all the way here, classic & crisp with the freshest edge!

after being returned from his abduction by aliens from the hidden planet nibiru, dj overdose was given an alien synthesizer the haex-hrll as a thank you for all the cerebral research the aliens did on him. on returning back to earth all dj overdose had to do was finish the 6 tracks the aliens had started to work on, which became this ep. straight forward techno hop electro funk without any fancy-pants pretentious hooha. its like a black and white movie which makes you think why the hell is there colors anyway?! after completion, the only record label he could imagine being fit for such rawness would be viewlexx... and so here it is.

reissue of the 1973 album by r&b / soul legend syl johnson.

oslo is happy to welcome new artist federico lijtmaer to the family with his wonderful ep impermanencia. inpermanencia on the a-side is a superb deep house track with the right kind of funkyness for the cool. federico combines smooth bass with shifty drums and classy synth action. this track will conjure a smile on your face and we are happy as hell to be able to release this little gem. unselfish on the b-side is as funky as its big brother on the flip-side. a throwback to bygone times in a way, if you consider labels as mosaic or trelik. however, federico definitely succeeded in terms of a modern interpretation. the inclined listener will recognize his musical roots anyway.

returning to his original home for this ep, it represents yet another left turn on the ukkonen musical path. the man himself says: *once again i want to change direction a little, whilst still keeping all the things i love in there - the polyrhythms, phasing loops, ambiguous timings and so on* however this set sees the tempo looser than before. we are not sure if post-techno actually ever happened, but maybe post-discotronica is, er, in the post. anyway, we liked the tracks so much that we once again went the extra mile with the physical product - a clear and white marbled thing of beauty, cut to 10 inch size in a 12 inch pressing.

syl johnsons karriere nahm etliche wendungen. zunächst verstand sich sylvester thompson als blues-sänger und tourte mit legenden wie howlin wolf durch die staaten. erst später - durch die entdeckung von hi-records - nahm er sich der soul musik und des pseudonyms syl johnson an, mit dem er weltberühmt werden sollte

we dont really know if the young bryan kessler listened to kraftwerk, but then again we didnt ask - who cares, anyway? what’s certain, however, is that this punk renegade, songwriting wunderkind and all-around exceptional producer is a man of many faces, and all of them rock. discovered on stage while spouting anarchist pop slogans and showcasing an impressive underage mohawk haircut, he never was to be a bottled genius sticking to only one gun - and soon set out to become the lead singer and guitarist for neo punk nutters the pollywogs, while embarking on an equally public career as prolific dj and dance music producer

shir khan returns to his disco-house-edit imprint black jukebox presenting you 4 heavy jams: 2 from brussels (mickey), 1 from paris (the mekanism) and 1 from philly (matpat). limited collector s vinyl only. cop that before it sells out.

the phrase *feux follets* from which archipel 105 draws its title, comes from the latin ignis fatuus, and translates as will-o’-the-wisp. the etymology reaches back to old folktales in which ill-intentioned spirits would cast an atmospheric glow at night, in order to lead weary travellers astray. today, the term refers to ghost-lights - artificial light reflections caused by decomposing organic emissions. anyway you choose to understand it, this music contains the mysterious and unattainable. feux follets are meant to depict an elusive (and perhaps also illusive) ambition. a tense equilibrium colours the constant, foundational sounds with aleatory movements. the compositions are detail-oriented, and boldly explore their tangential elements.

2x12 inch lp in gatefold sleeve, including cd-copy of the album.
a few years ago, a-trak got together with the pioneering house/garage producer armand van helden to form the playful dance duo duck sauce, and they quickly scored a vast international hit with *barbra streisand*. now, nearly four years after that song landed, they are finally ready to release *quack*, their giddy and engaging debut album, which features singles like *radio stereo*, *it s you*, and, yes, *barbra streisand*. the album is not a typical dance album but a whole lot of fun: quack pushes the boundaries of house music and sampling into an absurdly visual listening experience, interwoven with skits, scratching and irresistible loops.

fresh cuts from: christian burkhardt & einzelkind, sascha dive, kashawar, volkan akin

with the first vinyl-release on his grundlos gluecklich, arsy serves a proper pop-housetune, remixed by two guys of wich one is arsy himself and the other one is not known anyway. dont ask, listen

serious basement bidness to close out the year for sound signature. the specter of christmas now returns with a coal bag of dirty acid jams and warped rhythms. thats exactly what we asked santa for anyway.

re.you is back amongst the mobilee fold with a third instalment of his signature dark and heavy-hitting dancefloor beats. his masterful ep mind your head topped the charts in 2012, and this years drum-heavy summer smash anyway remains a firm dj favourite, even as the nights get longer and the season comes to a close.

dj sliink, springing from the jersey club scene, has built an impressive reputation for his contributions to north american dance music. so much so that vibe magazine included him on their list of 30 djs to watch. his angular, spare take on club music can be described as straight forward, as much as a punch in the face can be described as straight forward anyway

hailing from holland, ekman has been haunting the dancefloors for some time now with his deformed acid influenced dark and nasty slow electro and techno tunes. his sound fits in perfect in between drugged out techno and new beat / early techno stuff. even some classic electro touches are in there. simply excellent for your not so average dance party, but who likes average anyway.

downstairs please, heaven can wait. our destination is an urban hades, an alluring underworld. when you are mono-named (like sano) your epithet sounds like a code word anyway. so let us get in.
