(3lp embossed gatefold cover with printed inner sleeves) ravaged and warped breakbeats haunted by wailing euphoric noise, vivid and graphic reflections of fractured post-industrial hardcore, moments of poetry flashing within a thick impending fog. this is our soundtrack. a unique and visionary achievement, a wholly origina future of beauty and despair: brutal, gritty, alive and urgent, blooming in the ruins, spiralling and raw, howling with life.

der wahnsinn hat methode: neuinterpretation der dub-blaupause -super ape-.
nachdem er sich mit sir coxsone, dem legendären chef des kingstoner labels studio one, zerstritten hatte, gründete lee perry zuerst seine eigene band und dann, 1973, im hinterhof ein eigenes studio. was aus der not geboren wurde, entwickelte sich zu einer einzigartigen erfolgsgeschichte. sowohl mit den upsetters als auch dem black ark schrieb perry musikgeschichte, insbesondere durch das 1976 veröffentlichte -super ape--album, auf dem er gewissermaßen das genre dub auf unbekannte weise aus dem mischpult brodeln ließ. für perry ist das studio wie ein lebewesen. ob er es wirklich so empfindet, oder einfach nur zu viel ganja in rauch aufgehen lässt, aber bei perry ist das equipment organisch, empathisch und intelligent. der clou: so hören sich die resultate auch an! lange bevor man das sampling erfunden hatte, schichtete er tonspuren aus tiefen bässen, echos und hall mit diversen, selbst aufgenommenen, gerne rückwärts laufenden klangsequenzen auf-, in- und übereinander. heißt: perry war der erste produzent, der anstatt der band die musik machte. das brachte ihm unter anderem den titel salvador dalí des dub ein. dass der Über-80-jährige bis heute nichts von seiner experimentierfreude verloren hat, zeigt der mit dem new yorker subatomic sound system besorgte re-edit seines meilensteins.

2018 repress of the debut full length lp from spencer doran and ryan carlile s visible cloaks project. initially recorded in 2013 and issued on cassette by sun ark in 2014 (as cloaks), this first offering uses conceptual processes to weave many of the same threads as their later work, synthetic fm tones, tuned mallet percussion, and electronically modulated voice, all arranged in a gossamer web, spun with neon electronics. on this release the duo set off on the sonic journey they are still on today, refracting their influences through east-west feedback loops, augmenting traditions with technology. remastered 45rpm dmm version with additional surprises!

music krause’s 49th release is a house record with four tracks of metaboman’s very unique view of the dancefloor. nothing to talk about - you have to listen... for sure. features dave aju and thomas prestin, as well as metaboman remixing ark.

masaki messaged blueberry records soundcloud and signed an ep within a week. i guess sending demos is still a thing. the concept of the ep is to demonstrate all the colors in masaki s rainbow. a truly gifted studio engineer, there are many styles in which he moves across the mixing board. ark and blessing are pure sound design ticklers. as if he decided to make an updated blue-ray instructional soundtrack. soaring melodies and sub bass anchors the listener is literally pinned done by the pressure and beaten with an ugly beauty unique to masakis style. dolci and ilah both radiate on the dance floor like lost dark rollers from an updated mid 90 s estelia and fraewnuil demonstrate the beautiful thoughtfulness masaki also possesses. like a hidden runout groove, masaki leaves the listener pensive and wrapped in a warm embrace.

the 1984 album from boney m back on vinyl with high-resolution mastering from the original source.

limited to 300 copies
for their second release, 12th isle proudly fling blubber tottum into the waxen sonic abyss for your full listening pleasure. the inaugural lp drubbed from the glaswegian machines of cru servers is perhaps best framed as what it would sound like if early life took its first steps out of the primordial gloop, dragged itself ashore, decided to make dance music and discovered they had a knack for it. it dangles precariously in the fault lines between discordantly melodic rhythm tracks, steadily paced chaos and swamp-soaked bass oddities. laden with eerily familiar samples yet always in a world of its own.

limited 600 copies press only. 9 previously unreleased (& unheared) trackes by the legend, mad professor

after the label’s first two eps by pit spector and toba, rose et rosée strikes again with the first release by young and talented sandro ceyte. originally from montpellier, he currently lives in nantes where he earned his spurs as a dj with the collective essential groove. this digger and ec-lectic music lover also produces house and hip hop, and “message d’ep” brings together sandro’s diverse inspirations.

it’s been two years since jef k’s excellent silver network label was in action, so it’s great to see the french mainstay back in action, and with the excellent shade on board no less. the london-based artist brings an addictive, chicago-tinged kind of deep house to the table with “london social club”, all mr fingers bass and deeper-than-deep pads. “initial pass” is no slouch in the slouching department either with its luxuriant chords weaving around a subtly stomping beat. parisian legend ark takes to “london social club” and does a fine job of chopping up the original with his micro-editing ways. “all alone (shade morning remix)” is the perfect closer with its dreamy melodics and 80s boogie inspired beat.

das album aus dem jahre 1978 ist als lp-vinyl in limitierter auflage für kurze zeit wieder erhältlich! -return of the super ape- ist der abschluss der trilogie von den drei lps -scratch the super ape- (aka -super ape-) und -roast fish & cornbread- im zeitraum 1976 bis 1978 und wurde wie seine vorgänger in lee perrys studio the black ark produziert, arrangiert und abgemischt. die zehn stücke wurden mit dem musikern der upsetters eingespielt, die seinerzeit auch als interpret genannt wurden - auf den beiden songs -dyon-anasaw- und -tell me something good- kommt das gesangstrio full experience mit candy mckenzie zum einsatz. das frontcover wurde von lloyd robinson gestaltet und zeigt den riesenaffen als krass gebeutelte figur, die unter anderem das nachhaltig zerrüttete verhältnis von lee perry mit chris blackwell (island records) zum ausdruck bringen könnte.

the ultimate edition of the roots reggae masterpiece release 1977-2017! the album classic was originally issued in 1977 in jamaica only and 20 years later in 1997 released by the blood & fire label as the outstanding but now deleted heart of the congos. vp records sub-label 17 north parade has released now the definitive 2017 re-mastered 3lp deluxe edition put together with both respect and gratitude to that illustrious antecedent (also available as 3cd-set incl. the ultrarare original lp mix). this new 3lp-vinyl-set is based on the more well-known mix and master from the blood & fire re-release, plus dubs, disco mixes, seven and twelve inch versions and has with -don’t blame it on i- an overlooked previously unreleased track unearthed. the 3lp-vinyl was state-of the-art re-mastered again by kevin metcalfe and comes in a 6mm spine jacket sleeve with full colour printed illustrated inner sleeves and the liner notes by noel hawks. stickered with the quote: the best roots reggae album ever...(lloyd bradley)

distinctive tenor singer linval thompson honed his singing craft in his formative years, growing in the west kingston ghetto of three mile, where he was associated with dennis brown, johnnie clarke and al campbell. a subsequent move to new york brought him into expatriate act hugh hendricks and the buccaneers, with his debut recording, ‘no other woman,’ being made circa early 1974 at patrick alley’s art craft studio. a series of other singles followed from his new york sojourn, but the return to jamaica in 1974 led to more noteworthy singles for stamma hobson, phil pratt and lee ‘scratch’ perry, with ‘jah jah redder than red’ and ‘girl you’ve got to run,’ both cut at the black ark for pratt, being the most successful. yet, it was all but a prelude to the breakthrough success he would finally achieve upon teaming up with bunny lee for ‘don’t cut off your dreadlocks,’ one of the most popular releases of 1975, a debut album of the same name, issued by third world in 1976, contained some of his most outstanding material, including the devotional ‘jah jah the conqueror’ and ‘long long dreadlocks,’ the romance thriller ‘black princess lady’ and the anti-rude boy opus, ‘cool down your temper.’

on the a side lies the gorgeous trance inducing snake in a hat, an uplifting intergalactic voyage gliding through layers of synths, twinkling piano notes and melancholic melodies that skilfully progresses into pure bliss.
on the flip, the pace slows down with pirate of the lost ark. this dark mesmeric number features moscoman’s signature gritty bass style, rolling snare drums and swirling synths all mantled in mind bending effects.
the bpm rises again on the closing track forget the rest, an irresistible amalgam of dreamy keys and rumbling drums, punctuated by a catchy electronic funk.

excellent deep, dark and dubby tracks

deepblak’s chief alchemist aybee releases his fourth full-length studio album, the odyssey. as befitting its grand title, this newest long-player finds him concerned with personal journeys: both the personal one that has brought him to this point - living in berlin, 15 years since founding deepblak in his native oakland - and the one that beckons for him personally and creatively in future: aybee sees himself as being halfway up a mountain, looking back on where he has come from, and to where he will be headed next - both concepts play a profound role in the emotional textures of the album, which in true deepblak fashion draws from jazz, deep house, techno, hip hop, blues, experimentation, cinema, space, time and infinity.

the first release from naissance musik (nm) is a 12” vinyl from the super-group dream scoring (hear and hakim murphy) entitled images of a myth. it is comprised of 4 tracks. a myth is a legendary story that a community validates to explain part of its reality. however any member or group within the community can have his or her own version of the myth, and the myth can also evolve through time. we may all listen to the same track but this track still calls up intimate images for each and every one of us. a myth is full of adventure and mystery, it is epic and full of emotions. it can be anything from the lost ark to greek gods fighting. the aim is to fill our bodies and minds with emotions. the main idea is to tell stories like books or movies, but through musical notes & rhythm. the music makers provide the musical image, the listeners create the myth. and vice-versa.

fresh from the black ark: free, rawly spiritual trance-music a full-force nyabinghi freak-out

mixing abstract hip-hop and house, blutch s style is mind-blowing and striking, with touches of groove and heat. borrowing from pépé bradock, francis inferno orchestra,cuthead, andrés, shigeto and massive attack, blutch has forged a unique musical identity all along his career, always with this strong desire to combine several universes into a single entity.
in january 2015 blutch revealed his creative genius with his first ep, equilibrium. he will soon revisit a voluptuous set mixing trip hop, the softness of electronica and a hypnotic deephouse. requilibrium unites 9 artists in one project that represents blutch’ diverse musical spectre. friends, idols, people who we loved to collaborate with, spend time with, get to know better. the r stands for the remix, the reinterpretation of blutch’ ep equilibrium. each artist gives new life to one of the tracks, spicing them up to their liking. cuthead transforms « skyview » in a straight-up house floor killer while maxime dangles takes « chocolates & hamburgers » to gloomy, cold electronic heights. between these two extremes the music gradually and cleverly evolves track by track. melodiesinfonie opens up in complete serenity with his take on « a. » which takes us straight into summer with our feet in the sand. tito wun follows up perfectly with his version of “wildstar” that is stacked with groovy samples. next up is keroué, member of the band fixpensill. he puts his rhymes on a stellar edit by ywnwa. jenovah choses to take “deep diving” on a bass-driven path while pavane sees and raises that with an orchestral version of anyoma. it’s up to the brothers ark & pit spector to close out the ep by taking « elis » into deeper territory.

inspired by fellinis famous drama the nights of cabiria the italian couple giovanni verrina and germano ventura aka howl ensemble serves their second album on nervmusic. through the mixture of italian, japanese and russian influences the 6 original tracks and remix from ark describe perfectly how the passionate art turns to dancefloors.

after a first lp supported by various artist as rone, rodriguez jr, ark, electric rescue, morpheus or laurent garnier, timid records is proud to announce arno gonzalezs second album: *the delivery boy*. more personal (no featuring this time) and more direct into producing process, arno tells us pieces of his own story: a come back from a gig in brest (back from vauban), a crazy sunday afternoon (domingo dance), a trip to japan (kimura), a train ride to charles de gaule airport (angers/cdg). he also recalls with a dose of sorrow the cycles effects of buzz and modes into music (less was more) , the old time techno (the break), noisy and synthetic funk (the message) or the crazy run of a delivery boy (the delivery boy) which will be soon clipped by the motion designer smoh. the most surprising thing after a first listening is the work on textures and vibes which give consistency to the all album sailing between electronica, inspired techno and house grooves. finally, camille rodriguez and damien *timid boy* almira give us 2 stylish and efficient remixes which will find, for sure, the path to best djs turntables. enjoy your meal!

the albion crew release their sixth release to date, with a two track ep from from phran with two heavyweight remixes from brothers samuel deep & julian alexander and perlon favourite ark.

klangscheiben records is proud to present its frst vinyl release of a brand new series, a various artists compilation entitled „the fable“. while some tales start with “once upon a time“, this one begins with the candid rhythms and guileless synergy of german duo metaboman and large m’s “taverne master”. canadian minimal masterminds akufen and pheek each provide their own input: the former’s weaving synth-driven jazzy storylines, the latter’s a trip through fragmented instrumentals and a min-tech narrative. klangscheiben label boss demas shows his fangs with a brooding slow burner permeated by skin-crawling microsounds, a flow picked up by montreal producer magnanime’s “psychomagic master”. ark’s parable is awash with echoing vocal snippets and an addictive piano riff, melting into the strange sound of tom ellis, whose “shotgun” is at once stripped back and full of life. tomas jirku wraps up the release with “one monkey”, a glitchy, eccentric minimal piece that is as unpredictable as you’d expect from the vancouver producer. the moral of the story? listen and fnd out.

christopher scott leary aka ochre is someone who has established himself via his own means, namely his own bandcamp page, as well as on labels like baselogic, toytronic, with a stunning lp in 2004, benbecula. as such, dutch label shipwrec have snapped him up for a fantastic new ep that showcases his style, which touches on ambient and downtempo as well as lushly melodic electronica, in all its glory.

for a long time, vidal benjamin has been getting up early at the weekends. whether alone or in company, he digs his hands into various crates at record fairs, flea markets or in empty attics, to uncover records that have long been forgotten, ignored or even despised. among the small circle of parisian diggers, his reputation precedes him: it is he who finds and it is he who shares. it is not unusual that in his wake, one finds a certain record long lost, left behind as a special gift from vidal. he likes to share so that others may discover. and it is for that same reason that he regularly sleeps late, playing records in clubs at night, where he follows a similar path: altruistic, educational and festive. it’s no surprise, then, that his first compilation goes by the fitting title of disco sympathie.

gavin russom returns to ecstatic recordings sister label entropy trax for the fledgling labels second release. building on the brooding atmosphere of the purge / enthroned with a pair of throbbing, synth-powered & acid-infused cuts, the telemetry/the benificent, the merciful 12inch draws together sonic touchstones found in russoms many projects, black metoric star, the crystal ark, and his work with delia gonzalez, melding them into two singular productions that pump and drive like the sequenced machines that power them.

this october, the compilation disco sympathy will be released on versatile. it’s author is vidal benjamin, an outstanding dj / digger, considered by his pals as one of the most brilliant in his category. and that says a lot! here he makes us rediscover the sound that was so characteristic of a certain early eighties french scene: wacky, happy, dancing and at times even poetic. one begins to travel through an era during which the french producers were not afraid to tackle disco, american boogie, british and german synth wave, to present us their version: french, poppy and above all... fun!as a prelude, before releasing the compilation, versatile will come with limited 33 rpm and 45 rpm maxis, on which every track has undergone an editing treatment by mysterious french producers: jean-marc misère (last sighted somewhere near london), dj ringardos (who, since his last versatile release in 2008, chose roman exile), alt (already spotted on the edits du golem and on the us label black disco), and of course vidal benjamin himself, accompanied by gilbert cohen - the boss. on the 45 rpm you ll find no-one less than jeff lasson, of the get a room! duo, who came through with flying colors. and as a bonus beat: misère on the b-side.

entropy trax, is the new sister label to kompakt s walls helmed ecstatic imprint. expect limited edition hand artworked white-label 12-s from a variety of artists, focussed on experimental dance floor sounds. the debut release comes from dfa s gavin russom (the crystal ark/black meteoric star) with a titanic double-header that announces the first of a series of releases for the label. recording under his own name for the first time since 2011 s night sky , this material finds russom creating visceral and hypnotic dance floor tracks

since his debut in 2009, loops haunt has continued to confound and excite with an output as mercurial as it is rare. toying with jungle and hip hop on zenith and outright sound design on ark, the wilderness-bound beat alchemist uses his isolation to explore and even create his otherworldly sound palate. lurking behind immaculate drums are the windswept sounds of the desolate north and mechanized textures plucked from his father s own workshop. here we embark on loops most complete work to date. exits is designed to be listened to as one continuous track, opening with ambient mood and emotion, layering outboard synths and found-sounds on the title track and trap door. an unexpected calm beginning is shattered in the second act with the pounding rhythms and industrial heart beats of howl and iiva. exits is an insight into a uniquely unpredictable talent and rare chance to be immersed in his sound.

in our corner of leftfield dance music, there are not many of our heroes that we havent had the pleasure of hosting on circus company. from the early days of ark and akufen to robag wruhme, deetron and franck roger, we are privileged to have welcomed some genuine legends onto our label, and now we are honoured to add another all-time great to the list, soulphiction

sneakers first solo ep for uncanny valley is a record of high humidity. the java / sumatra ep evolved in large parts in indonesia when sneaker lived there for almost a year and it literally conveys the indonesian heat to dance floors in the rest of the world. compared to his acid house-inspired you think you think which was featured on the uncanny valley 004 compilation, this four new tracks show another, rather ark, pop and new wave side of sneaker

another esoteric offering from elastic dreams. ruff cherry presents the section 31 ep, explorations in analogue dance. featuring a dubwise re-dream from a sagittariun.

limitiert auf 150 stück und handnummeriert! ich mag musik nur wenn sie frickelt, könnte man klangscheiben unterstellen. ach was, echtes liebhabertun, was das label da seit jeher veranstaltet. so geht es wohl kaum konsequenter, als dass man zum 30. jubiläumsrelease mit einem proper vinyl die untenrum-funky- gemeinde beherzt & technoid in die arme nimmt. in zeiten wo mp3-stick & sync-button echte dj-kultur zu zerstören droht, ist das eine ansage bester güte zum medium nummer 1 in sachen Ästhetik der tonverewigung. anfassen, rühren, servieren, schmecken und wieder von vorn. mit dieser vÖ. tritt das label den beweis an, dass der zacki-schnipp sound, der einst irgendwie in einem großen fass von billig-fuselwodka mit dem etikett minimal ersoff, keine patina angesetzt hat. im gegenteil leute, das kommt wieder und besser. denn irgendwann hat es sich ausgedeephoust und ausgepopt mit billigedits und ringelreihebeats... ach nein, sie ist noch da, diese soundphilosophie, und hat sich, wie auch liebling ark immer wieder beweist, von überfüssigen schnick-schnack-gezischel-ambitionen befreit. so auch hier: raw, deep, dirty, mit vier kratzigen energiebatzen den floor zackig abfüllen. vier frisbee-scheiben, die aus den boxen gedreht kommen, als könne man sie nie auffangen. der kleine mann im ohr und kopf fängt sie aber bestens auf. mit besten empfehlungen: oliver goldt
