lower east launched in the summer of 2010. it was the result of a coming together of 3 likeminded friends: cozzy d, lee brinx and ed kane (kanio/dexter kane). all established members of the london scene in their own right, they combined forces to create a label with one simple ethos: quality electronic music. whilst the idea itself is unified, the influences are vast. disco, techno, garage, hip-hop, drum and bass, jazz, 80 s and soul all inspire lower easts subtle blend of 4/4 beats. notable artists on lower east include: lee foss, gavin herlihy, robert james, uner, nima gorji, pezzner, richie ahmed, puente and rosche, waifs and strays, and death on the balcony.

justice, the french duo formed by gaspard auge and xavier de rosnay, is the band of a whole generation. when the two friends were still bright students in graphic design, in 2003 they made justice a place to experiment a hybrid genre between music and image, which blends pop and electronic borders, and showcases the talents of 2 fascinating passionate pop culture craftsmen, bored with hierarchy. they met pedro winter who had just founded his label ed banger records, he immediately signs them after listening to >we are your friends< which, with its joyful and vitamin-enriched electro beats combined with exhilarating voices, became the hymn of a whole generation and one of the most important tracks of the year 2000, celebrating a reconciliation of pop music and the dancefloor.

after years, this vinyl-wielding 4-piece originating from brighton — the one and only soft rocks — have finally committed their collective wit to a slew of original tunes. >we hunt buffalo now< is a punky dub monster serving as the first single in a series surrounding their = imminent debut album, >the curse of soft rocks<. in an age where any laptop-savvy poseur can upload their bland nu-disco or faux-chi-house directly to the cesspool of digitally downloadable fodder, it is more than refreshing to hear this cheeky bunch blending a mixed bag of instrumentation and obscure influences so recklessly. guest vocals are provided by san francisco post-punk hero jorge socarras (vocalist of indoor life and songwriter for patrick cowley). in case that wasnt enough, flip her over for the genius remix by andrew weatherall, a bonafide glam stomper that slaps you across the face with a fuzzy bassline and greaseball guitar chords. pure class.

if you have ever heard a crunching roland system 100 bass line ringing in your ears at 5.00am in the morning, there is a good chance that it has been written by andy meecham. whether as emperor machine, sir drew, chicken lips or even bizarre inc his music rolls and waves in incredible ways and sheds light on all the probable combinations of familiar sounds. morning banger is certainly a hot potato! upon the first listen you are hooked in with the slightly aggressive korg delta drawing you in. the track builds and builds into a crescendo of beautiful tension and before you know it your brain is eagerly awaiting the next step of the journey.

taking the next level, the infectious grooves and fiercely beauteousness of the highly acclaimed prommer& barck album >alex& the grizzly< are mesmerized here any further. kink , san soda and norman& jerome sydenham captivating the journey into the variety of idiosyncratic house music.

nice price deal !!! milano based musician and producer joseph bacchilega teams up with piero russo (formerly known as esom, from emphasis recordings) to present you pulsewave music. while empty words and soulless records seems to drive modern underground music, with pulsewave we aim to bring back the spirit which gave life to quality vinyls (from the music, to the artworks) with a mixture of passion, skills, concepts and forms. while the intention is not to have an intention (if not making good music), engraved in the hearth of the record are the words >nothing will be the same<. while the meaning is not to search a meaning, there are things that words cannot express, but the ear can hear and the intuition can feel. nothing, if not a strong emotional content. on the b1, a powerful acid version from esom will be hitting the hardest-to-please underground specialists while, on the b2, a blistering techno track (the original mix) is meant to respond to the most demanding dancefloors. on the flip, uk-based producer and dj, kirk degiorgio (a.k.a. as one/future past), delivers his intense and floor-moving version in a 7 minutes trip which already passed in many djs turntables. dont miss this limited edition, hand stamped vinyl record.

during a stay in munich anthony shake shakir heard a demo version of the song >hammering< and was so thrilled by it, that he decided he wanted to release it on his own label frictional.
striking about the 12-inch is the way it was done. the basement is the track >hammering<, a techno track that uses a sample of a work song from an historical recording dating from the 1930s. the swinging-souly voices are combined with a clear and funky beat that pushes you forward, and you wont forget the voice for a long time, even after the track has been listened to multiple times.after that anthony shake shakir created a remix that afterwards was again remixed by splits & slits.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

waifs & strays are at it again, this time sliding seamlessly into the supremely sexy catalogue of hot creations with >body shiver<, another pair of bristol bombs with a rowdy remix from hot natured to roll out the summer.

after a handful of smashing remixes and compilation features on nang records, lusty zanzibar returns to the fold with a cracking solo effort named the >the feeling ep.< title track is a spaced out exercise in immersive square-wave programming, reminiscent of the pre-internet computer gaming age when colours were 8-bit and vivid, and soundtracks were hyper-colour opuses. the complex synth work is underpinned by a driving beat with ethereal vocal wisps and crystalline pads. nice. the first of three remixes for >the feeling< comes from ilya santana, with his >celestial version<, and celestial it is indeed! a picturesque scene is set, the rhythm is wound back and a super laid back vibe allows the vocal line >remember how you are feeling< to sit more purposefully in the mix, alongside the tip-toeing bass line and often euphoric chords. up next comes the max essa dub version, introducing some arp-synth subtleties, replacing the main vocal hook to great effect. to finish we have a mix from fear of theydon who brings a touch of arpeggiated femininity and tasteful woodblock percussion to the table. its a fulfilling yet sultry up-beat journey.

while yacht refers to >dystopia (the earth is on fire)< as a post-apocalyptic fight song and a cautionary tale, the tracks chant-along melodies and unsparing synths nudge listeners far closer to dance than despair. from the sound of things, that reaction will likely also be elicited by two new remixes of the portland duos song, from their 2011 long player shangri-la. legendary production duo justin strauss and bryan mette, aka whatever/whatever, completely rework the sound of >dystopia< on their version, reorienting it with heavy doses of funk. while the original rides atop buzzing synths, the whatever/whatever remix adds a thick bassline and shimmery keyboards that leap out like solar flares. on the flipside, uk-based emperor machine starts their dystopia remix with a dubby feel – every vocal echoing endlessly – and then u-turns into wholly a updated, yet classic, disco sound. the rhythms are sultry, slinking behind a deep, repeated, synthline, its a recipe for an unexpectedly smooth, subtly hypnotic, and utterly danceworthy song.

the kdms is a underground-supergroup. englands no.1 indie - disco diva kathy diamond (permanent vacation, eskimo, moodmusic) and maximilian skiba from londons rekids label (solo album coming up soon) teamed up to do a real band. the result are some very crisp, catchy but raw house tunes with a great pop appeal. kathys unique voice that combines soul-funk background with a very own timbre meets max’s way of contemporary electronic production. he does it like prince: playing all the guitars, drums, bass and keyboards alone. and then reworking it on the computer. check the amazing morgan geist remix!

rosa valle really are that unique and wide reaching a band - incredibly catchy intricate tunes that are not afraid to swing from serene to blistering. impossibly young and impossibly talented, the bare fact that this ep was recorded only a few months after the band formed, is jaw-dropping. exploratory, without ever being pretentious.

frank lorber & philipp maier aka santé are rolling a big tech house blunt that abducts you deep into the realms of modern club music. hypnotic, groove-charged and with a very demanding bass line, the duo proves that their cooperation was a very good idea

we are back with a special release from einmusik. this time samuel kindermann is telling you something about those real summer-nights, those few mysterious and magic hours filled with sounds, colorful lights and beauty all around. -nyx- is one of the songs on the -oceans bottom pt.2- ep. it comes up with an endless dreamy hook, the slappy rhythm is gracious and the groove is full and checkless. bit by bit the headstrong sounds direct you deeper into this track and you re hands will be up at least. backside we find -oneiros- it s a very coltish track with a haunting melody. it s humming in your ears, that s what it is made for. such an easiness coming up while hearing this song, you ll get a bit gushy and your feet won t be able to stop. both songs on are preparing the way into a unique sound-universe which will be opened on einmusiks new album coming up in autumn.

carefully caressing your back whilst whispering sweet nothings into your ear, pillowtalk join the life and death family with their modern dance soul hybrid, >the come back ep<. despite the name, its actually a debut ep -- and one that quickly establishes pillowtalks unique sound as an important voice in the new generation of contemporary dance music. already getting serious play (and props) from a wide range of djs, from the deep & soulful wolf + lamb and soul clap crews all the way to the banging bass centric justin martin, >the come back< finds life and death once again crossing the conventional genre descriptions with a true dancefloor bomb that everyone can get behind. imagine motown and classic doo-wop blended with a modern dance sensibility and you may start to get an idea of the pillowtalk sound. but its better to stop imagining and just have a listen because what these guys are doing is so genuinely unique, its not an easy one to pigeonhole with words and genre titles alone. the ep includes >the come back<, >soft< and >long lost friends< as well as a life and death remix of >soft<. put together in the life and death laboratories it brings a darker, deeper take on this beautiful and already incredibly sentimental dancefloor serenade.

there are still around, real environmentalists for whom the term preservation means more than just a trend. paul-david rollmann alias even-tuell belongs with his artistic productions (among other things, one of the creators of the enthusiast label workshop) to the class of those who answer the call for effective art, design and indulgence. the maxim is always the free will, emancipated from szperfluous market mechanics and the falsehoods of the zeitgeist. for musik krause, his activity is recorded on 2 releases. a split with metaboman and a formidable remix for ian simmonds adorn the catalog. with his quasi-first complete musik krause ep he shows a raw and coarse club music sound without losing even a breath of the aesthetic and compelled movement. all three pieces sound as if they were crafted from centuries old tools, in the way that his music is filtered through the machines humanizedm discharged in a kind of essential honesty.

in 2010 the la based label halo cyan records re-released vladislav delay s sistol project. for this deluxe 2cd reissue various well known electronic musicians remixed the recordings from 1999. the whole project received enthusiastic reviews in pitchfork, resident advisor, etc. one of the remixers is mike huckaby, who transferred sistols track >keno< into an outstanding dubby detroit-house masterpiece. it was immediately clear that this track had to be released on vinyl. we are delighted to announce the collaboration between halo cyan and slics of life for mike huckabys s y n t h remix of keno. on the b-side, mike huckaby remixed a track originally produced in the same time period: poles >silberfisch< was released in 2000 on the highly acclaimed yellow album >3<, re-released by scape in 2008 as part of the 3-cd pole box. in 2011, mike huckaby keeps the dubby and slightly melancholic crackling atmosphere of the original, but his s y n t h remix is beams >silberfisch< straight onto the dancefloor, where it arrives as a driving deep techno track.

today, the pit lane is decorated with red carpet and golden leaf for two exceptional talents: from the black forest patrick chardronnet for the gui boratto (bra)-team, and from the westerwald dominik eulberg (ger) for the extrawelt-team. both drivers are concentrated. they are wearing shimmering overalls and golden helmets. they get into their softly purring apparillos. two pairs of gloves at the steering wheel. the heat is flimmering over the hot asphalt. during the race, the gui boratto / patrick chardronnet-team focuses on deep bass lines and a constant improvement in performance with a slightly shifted ideal line, and only one pit stop. in three words: mighty, majestic, thunderous! team-extrawelt acts a bit more flexible. dominik eulberg either puts on the handbrake or drives at full speed. he is fast, he is flexible, and his elegant turns make the audience go wild. but in the end, both sportsmen share the champagne, and the after-show party will go down in the history of the tunig series. ready, steady, go!
comes on white / grey marbled vinyl.

in a time when rock critics saw the prodigy as a glorified keyboard player flanked by a couple of weird and scary dancers, liam howlett & co showed the world how dance had evolved away from the club scene and into the festivals & arenas.
and they did that by staying true to their own sound. while dance moved from acid house to rave to ambient to breakbeat & drum n bass, the prodigy changed their brand of hard-hitting breakbeat with king-sized hooks and unmissable samples only sparingly.
always outnumbered, never outgunned was the long-awaited album after their breakthrough smash fat of the land. featured on the album are namesake liam gallagher, kool keith, twista and even juliette lewis, morphed and wrangled beyond recognition on an album that goes back to the core of what the prodigy stands for: a thumping bass, mad beats & noise flying every which way but loose!

we are very happy and proud to announce yippiee?s fourth release. your dudes from hannover, filtertypen and benny ferkel just signed five great new tracks for the upcoming indoor season, but for sure they will work also just excellent for the last open air events as well. the yippiee004, as every release by yippiee, again is a hannover based production. yes, even if you didn?t know mario aureo, the only bird that has flown away and now has his nest in berlin is from hannover as well as chris lattner who was born near our wonderful homebase.with the ?all night long ep? mario tried to do a record with different tracks for every part of a long lasting night. the track ?under pressure? is a digital bonus, but the vinyl itself will show you yippiee?s and especially mario?s point of view for the night in a deep and groovy way.
played & supported by dubfire, solomun, butch, martin eyerer, re.you and many more.

following up the scorching debut release another night, deep&disco recordings sidesteps the sophomore slump with elisco, an infectious electro-funk groover that both cements the labels commitment to quality and expands their musical range.
a chunky nu-disco track with hints of metro area and a catchy vocal hook, the seeds of elisco were planted in the early 2000s when label founder jkriv and lou teti were sharing a loft space in williamsburg, brooklyn. after an afternoon of cowbells and synths, the skeleton of the track had its shape, and their other roomates girlfriend was enlisted to sing the hook. she had no singing experience (or rhythmic sense) to speak of, but somehow it all worked and elisco was born! although its always been a personal favorite of the producer duo, the song remained shelved for almost 7 years until they dusted it off in early 2011 and readied it for release on the newly minted deep&disco recordings.
providing remixes for the vinyl release are the legendary leftside wobble, who turns in an extended and bpm-d-up version quite true to the original, taking the machine vibes to the next level with added loops and fx. brightons alphabet city brings the disco-boogie sensibility to the package with a deep mix that features jkriv on live bass, and whiskey disco regular sleazy mcqueen rounds it out with an indie dance stomper.

its only natural that martyn has risen above the cliches and pitfalls of the vacuous dj world. over his 15 years djing, 6 years producing, and 4 years a&ring his 3024 imprint, the holland-born / washington dc-based artist has forged his own path every step of the way. his multi-leveled career has kept balance with a focus on art, and his every sacrifice is preserved in an endless dedication to music. as a continual record buyer and beat seeker, martyn is a beacon of hope through leagues of passion-less djs and producers, the ghost people: plastic, hollow shells that focus only on the in-the-now grooves or keeping in line with trends.
double 12 inch white vinyl in gatefold cover, including code for free digital download of the full album.

includes cd of the album arabxilla!
the debut album from the venezuelan aerea negrot is one of those records which speak with such intensity that her deepest emotions are instantly laid bare to the listener. this heartfelt account in music and words relays her unique outlook and life story to the world without a hint of inhibition.

after successful releases on imprints like 8bit and brise, colognes own dualton & wollion team up again to deliver a banging, new york-house influenced 2-track ep on yellow tail. >the gap< and >the ledge< are packed with warm housegrooves, deep basslines and energetic strings. the skaters amongst you should know, where the tracks got their names from. on the remix-boards we got greek wonderboy alex celler (cecille). he gives >the gap< a more percussive twist, which makes his remix essential for every tech-house dj in the game.

dresdens cult label uncanny valley returns with the charming catalogue number six. following up jacob korns first artist ep for the label its c-beams turn now to continue the series of artist eps. break sls and sandrow ms project can be referred to as a true labels child. musically, both artists got to know each other only when the label was founded. for >strollin< they lend the vocal talents by tina slotta who is associated with uncanny valley as well. the result is an irresistible house-jam. easy vibrant beats are complemented by birds twittering, warm keys and tinas carefree lyrics. jackmates remix toughen things up and transfers the tracks with mighty detroit-chords into a real monster for the dancefloor. the slightly murkier >scrapyard< takes its strength out of the interaction between its vehement beats and the c-beams-typical sound excursions. finally, the instrumental of >strollin< rounds up the ep.

fat bomb! citizen kain & phuture traxxare back on neverending with a banging original track and 2 massive remixes by secret cinema and da fresh!no repress, only 300 copies of this dancefloor bomb are available!

we are more than happy to present the second part of the remixes of kollektiv turmstrasses rebellion der träumer album. the first part with interpretations by jimpster and robag wruhme already created a big buzz and we hope to continue like this with the uneins remixes by our scandinavian connaisseur darlings of norway and living legend aril brikha. the a-side of part 2 features a version of uneins by our oslo based homies and connaisseur protégés of norway. they take the original parts and blend them according to their own voodoo-tech vision. the result is both catchy and extremely danceable. the b-side offers one of the rare remixes by swedish techno soul wizard aril brikha who delivers an epic monster. is is techno? is it house? is it deep house? it is everything and nothing. but one thing we know its simply timeless! expect more remixes in 2012

elektro willi and his son are back. two years on board of a club cruise ship - thats enough. dad, we go ashore! sure, it was only a small step from selling washing-machines via the more or less obscure music industry to club ship animation. but sometimes even the most spectacular evening dinners, the most exciting special guests become boring. you just want to pull of your sweaty vinyl-showsauna-suit and get back to your origins: e.g. selling washing-machines. but without melancholy: on the aida, the willi-show became improved, in mediterranean nights, a new album was drafted into the starry sky.

october and john osborn are proud to present the inaugural 12inch on their newly minted bristol and berlin based house & techno label: tanstaafl records. tanstaafl is an acronym for there aint no such thing as a free lunch. we kick things off with john osborns debut release, epoch 4 backed with a darker, reduced, dub-influenced version. john based in berlin worked with october in his bristol based studio to create and produce some wonderful, raw, dirty analogue house music. both tracks were meticulously produced by herr osborn and recorded and engineered by october. laurie appleblims joined the studio session and he dove straight into the juno 60 and played the melody that finnishes the track off. tough floor business for your feet and mind, tried and tested around the world. a great start for this promising label.

small world discos leading light, ltj, is back with another terrific release. 16th in the series and still going as strong as ever. trademark ltj all over this one, three huge hits!

massive versions by detroits theo parrish and burnt friedman!
theo roars into a fierce, uglier-than-ugly edit, with no let-up for thirteen minutes, when it crashes to a standstill: a hurtling, mesmerizing ride, multi-layered and clustered with synth washes, bleeps and alarms, galloping drums, clattering percussion.burnts shangaan variation is perforce more chilled, lithe, reverberating. the drums are crafted and fatback, with moody vocal interjections and haunting keys, chocka with dub thrills and spills, lethally spiked with bass.

roberto cravallo has been hooked on vinyl since he bought his first 7inch at a flea market 1976. he made first steps djing in 1977 doing some dj performances at a sunday afternoon tea dance by using lenco lc 75 turntables. the edits he has produced for >solid disco gold< are extracted from and influenced by his enormous record collection that he has accumulated over the last 30 years. and he is still diggin the crates at carboot sales and second hand record stores today!

profound audio is back, unleashing their next heavy hitting single from monstar - both sides of this record have already become worldwide dancefloor hits. >put ya hands up< and >you are gonna want me< are two highly anticipated releases that also officially place monstar on the bass music map. a-list dj support from 12th planet, benga, datsik, excision and funtcase, as well as radio play from bbc 1xtra, kiss fm (uk) and more.

mote-evolver continues to push on into uncharted territories of electronic music with the parallel series 1, the first in a new series where 2 artists are featured side by side - contrasting and complementing. a dedicated producer with over than a decade of experience, british born asc goes head to head with luke slaters rather rare l.b.dub corp guise over 4 tracks of vivid new techno.

south of croydon raised christian sibthorpe (aka a1 bassline) sent over a few things over the last 12 months that really had me paying attention. but it was jessica (j. phlip) ended up being the first one to drop falsehood at the spring dirtybird party in sf which pretty much sealed the deal. it just smashed the room to bits. later on i met christian in person when he helped me do a live radio show at rinse fm in london along with ben westbeech and we agreed there that dirtybird would put these two tracks out.a1 claims to have been heavily influenced by early metalheadz and you can really here it on these tunes. while buoyancy is a smooth pulsing affair that really shines in the deeper mixes, falsehood (which we are re-releasing from a1s tighten up label) really buries the hatched in your brain with bits and pieces of 808s, breaks and house hi-hats all forged together like hot iron.

manchester duo a.n.d. are at the heart of manchesters thriving electronic music community. releases on labels such as horizontal ground, inner surface music and project squared have solidified their reputation for finely honed and darkly swung techno. here they present two weighty cuts for bristols idle hands label.
>hydrothermal< is a stripped back 4/4 excursion with rattling hi-hats and lots of bass. >lights down low< rolls along on a syncopated techno beat, with deadly snares and a droning, almost industrial feel bringing to mind the work of regis and t++.

we are super-proud to announce that the tenth single on electronic imprint more music is the latest from the brilliant musical mind of toby tobias. we are also delighted that this release is coming out on vinyl for only the third time in the labels history, following in the illustrious footsteps of timo maas and midland before it.
