mike parker is next to release on deep sound channel - a sub label of the dutch shipwrec imprint - and as ever the two tracks he offers up are made of twisted analogue frequencies that work their way into your brain.

breathtaking contemporary spiritual jazz from south africa ... when tumi mogorosi composed this suite for jazz musicians and opera vocalists he had never heard the previous successful attempts by donald byrd, max roach or mary lou williams to combine these seemingly unfriendly aesthetics. tumi, born in 1987 and already an accomplished drummer on the joburg scene, was at the time studying music at the tshwane university of pretoria where he became close friends with opera singers working on the same campus. so unlike some of his us peers tumis beliefs are not religious.

classic is incredibly pleased to announce that a certain man of the moment has joined the classic family. *one* was brought to the attention of classic when it featured on vinyl only release late last year. ears pricked up and more information was sought. who was this man from nowhere - producing music that was modern yet soulful, funky - and best of all coupled with his own vocal talents. luke solomon then championed not only *one*, but the general excitement surrounding something that ticked all of his boxes. reminiscent of the old classic sound that reminded him of iz and diz, losoul and the like… seven was approached and not only offered classic *one* to re-release, but two brand new cuts featured exclusively here. an ep aptly entitled *friends* is the freshest thing that has been around for some time - and classic are proud to welcome seven into their ever expanding family.

following their ongoing relationship with soma records, ukrainian duo woo york are set to release their new record that proves to be somewhat representative of recent dramatic events in their country. entitled i am against, both the main track and the ep itself are referring to the developments that lead to revolutionary struggle of the ukrainian people. fighting inequality, saying what you have to say and doing what you have to do seem to be the core ideas of the record. you might have figured that out yourself by spotting a rebel protester from january’s clash with riot police depicted on the record sleeve. the ep also features a special remix from uk techno producer, Ø phase. music-wise the ep presents the same idea: the epic energy of the title track highlights the drive that was fuelling peaceful individuals to go out onto the streets and fight for their rights. an excellent remix from Ø phase follows a similar path, although in its own original way that has made the uk-based artist’s name associated with the finest techno to date. closing the ep ‘in the end’ is a more abstract side of woo york’s music works that reminds us once again: every single act of violence is bound to come to an end at some point.

following london producer richard smith s (l/f/d/m, bronze teeth) debut 12- for optimo. we are happy to release this 4 track ep of killer acid grooves.

bristol acetate carver and drum major, lurka launches his black acre debut with three unpredictable drum machine battle drills. kicking off with *holding* a technoid inflected dancehall pounder with a relentless low-end theory. the anxious heartbeat littered with schizophrenic percussion and alarm bells bursting into an undead army marching anthem. with *nah so* we are back on slightly more familiar turf, crushing kick drums perform the body blows under intricate hi-hats programming. *kmt* the most meditative of the three with nods to alan howarths bleak synthesiser work while high-fiveing schooly ds drum machine.

re-issues are a hot commodity and may well be en vogue for those not around at the time originally or perhaps too slow on the uptake to bag the great house records of yesteryear

were proud to introduce you to the first release for the new phase of the classic italian records label, home in the eighties to lot of seminal stuff by cult bands like gaznevada, stupid set, n.o.i.a. kirlian camera and confusional quartet. who best than two italian dj legends like leo mas and fabrice for this joint venture that goes back to the times of italo-disco and high-energy? leo and fabrice are devastating the mix with generation 83 bellissimo, a club track that keeps alive the old-skool spirit while speaking the language of contemporary dance music. this is hot and lot more is coming, stay in touch

with their cinematic music and john carpenters cover albums, we wondered when a real soundtrack by zombie zombie is going to be out? well, here it is now , the two zombies cosmic neman and etienne jaumet finally sign their first film music for the first feature film from director , narimane mari, loubia hamra (bloody beans), to be released in spring 2014. and we found them there, where we do not expect, because it s not a horror movie, but a free movie, a journey of a group of children from a district of algiers during the war of algeria, who becomes aware of life and death.director narimane mari talks about her experience with zombie zombie and creation of the soundtrack for her movie:-i really wanted the music to be as blood flow of images and that is what it is. sharp, dull, full of strange noises, inner or surging, harmonious or disturbed by noise disorder, which allows to read beyond the visual narrative. we are in the bowels of childhood and it shakes us up when we let our-selves be takeover by the living: the profusion. i didn’t want to make a movie where psychology and reason rule and dominate until our senses are weakened, but a movie that we experience with the body and it is them who made it possible, this total immersion.

drawing from an acute sense of what could perhaps be described as deep minimalism-turned-into-a-quasi-equatorial-feast, full of holes gradually unfolds and weaves its fabrics in ways that are evocative of the disparate sensations and heady feelings one might run into in a proto-ritualistic setting, whilst xdbs recontextualisation routes a more linear but no less absorbing excursion.

while nowadays underground music hits are being selected and pushed through applications that analyze and calculate the amount of followers, friends, likes, hits, posts and traffic on social media, music is getting more and more isolated from its original function, being prostituted by companies that dont even listen to the actual content itself.

for our biggest pleasure, material object and luis flores have joined forces again as impact unit and they are back on silent steps with a new ep including two original tracks supported by two remixes from subjected and dj hyperactive. this new opus is a great follow up to last years greatly acclaimed release, keeping up strong on the peak time energy and mind blowing synthetizers waves that are drawing hypnotic vibes playing along with powerfull drums and rythmics.

good old aunt frieda likes it colorful, that’s pretty known in all parts of the world since the birth of frieda musik. and even our new children of the family are the same kind of colorful: frivolous is painting in all different colors without wasting any paint. his two originals are pushing with forward-thinking rhythms without forgetting how to get his audience into dreaming through his golden voice and his playful melodies. a very special schmankerl is his lullaby. a little more precise and determined comes dirty doering and sascha cawa’s upside down remix of “for the message” within this package. and not to forget there’s a digital bonus by our boys san marco & don ramon, who tell us: don’t stop mumble, if you wanna get this kind of (zurich)-groove. in our opinion: a perfect ep for endless summer nights.

holdie gawn & micawber are back with sylphe06: once again working around their usual split format. holdie gawns * moon ride* is a haunting, melancholic trip in a deep mood, that stretches slowly and steadily over 12 minutes in a journey of enchanted synths and micro-grooves. over to the b side we have * vattum* by micawber, a solid, stopming techo affair with a large, deep bassline & kikcdrum, resonating and pulsating slowly. on top crispy rides, hats & glitches accompany the groove slowly, making this ep a fine comdination between two very different yet effective tracks for the mind and the dancefloor.

gene hunt is a prolific producer with an un-mistakable sound of his own. and although an originator of the acid house sound from chicago, he certainly didnt stop there. his music has naturally evolved over the years, often incorporating more mature melody and rhythm structures, but always in time with a proper underground style dance track. these tracks are a perfect fit for the direction and vision of the inner shift music label as well, and for this reason we are pleased to present you with planted seeds by gene hunt.
