savor musics second 12 inch release follows a rockin record by papol and ekkohaus. we are proud to present today some raw future classics that will quite simply tear the floor into pieces. lucas mari is a hard to catch butterfly that spreads his subtle wings on few carefully selected projects. a resident of the city of rosario in argentina, lucas mari appeared occasionally on the very fine argentine label greener, german imprint stock 5 and on us labels adjunct and airdrop. in true early 90s chicago fashion, the two original cuts feature some serious drum machine action, building a sturdy way to allow for some exquisite chord relief to flourish. gez varley, absolutely stunned by listening to the originals, decided to contribute to the release with a simple and hypnotic remix that only he, the one and only g-man has the recipe for.

basic soul unit returns to his herman project with an excellent early chicago influenced house track. seriously good track that is weird and wonky with much quality in the drum programming. very spacious without being cheeky. it comes comes with an utterly irresistible rework from vakula reminiscent of the halcyon days of chi house. and as bonus 4 locked grooves! one of our favorite fine art records to date!

the most eagerly anticipated dance album release of the year is finally here!

the opening track from the debut simon baker album was always going to be a strong choice to be the first single. no pressure has received unanimous praise since the albums release and is back with new remixes by art department and simon himself. its rare to get great stand out vocal tracks that dont split opinion, but this seems to be one of them. its slick, deep house of the highest calibre with a stand out hooky vocal from debukas. art department, owners of ras number one track of 2010 drop a superb remix, adding new vocals and teasing debukas back into the mix for a pretty special, hypnotic workout. simons >upstate dub< mix finishes things off. it aims things directly at the dancefloor in his signature, deep and twisting style.

kicking off 2011 with a killer e.p. is our favourite artist art bleek featuring a number of remixes from the new art supplies album released on loungin this month plus some fresh cuts exclusive to this release. starting the e.p. is a floor filling remix of clap your hands by our own trevor loveys. the original has been out for a few months in the blogosphere and has been picking up some heavy props. next up is hold it (a little longer) where art shows off his true talent of the master of the musical groove with a rolling bass and a choppup vocal lick to keep the party rocking. flip over to side b and you would be excused if you thought someone had swapped the record out for a disco classic. with vox by noelle scaggs and a harmony that nile rodgers would be proud of arthur creates a boogie classic that is very much flavour of the moment. following on is an exclusive remix of the hunt dance featuring the unmistakable voice of ursula rucker. the original on art supplies has had such amazing reactions that we all thought it would be hard to better it, but again arthur has done it delivering a groover for the heads. finally is right on featuring l.as finest charlie sputnik. art delivers a more techy grove to this classic which is a sound he is becoming more recognised for which contrasts so will with charlies trademark smooth vocals.

the winter saga continues… this being the second release on art of vengeance, aril takes yet another turn in style, or rather back to the sound of the winter ep that was released on kompakt in 2007. the title track is is a journy in melodies built in layers, trying to fit as much melodies in one track without going over the line. maybe it is over the line? tundra is a bit more on the rough side but with arps and chords coming in and out while glacär/for minou strips things down a bit to a more bassier and warmer sound with string/chords, less melodies and more groove

art-nr2 is the third release in art records remaster series following on from carl craigs >psyche/bfc< and kirk degiorgios >nairobi ep<. promenade eleven lives up to the billing of those illustrious predecessors, being a reverse-engineered remake of >night on the promenade< which originally appeared in limited quantities on the new religion label in 2006 under the name >super-a-loof<.
labelled at the time as a successor to classic techno tracks such as derrick mays >the beginning< and rolandos >knights of the jaguar<, this re-make will finally bring it to the wider audience it deserves via the art label.
promenade eleven (original mix) adheres faithfully to the original arrangement but has been re-recorded and totally remixed from the ground-up for a modern club sound.

slamming three track ep, first track afro acid is a raw, noise (distortion effects) and dirty sounding with live feeling, not made for high fidelity people, really really raw... flipside is more for deep & jackin house lovers, especially b2 (freedom) is just a deep house masterpiece

fine art with another piece of sultry nu-disco/house. this time its londons capracara (aka jonathan burnip), who has had outstanding releases on dfa and soul jazz. this vinyl only release of panic beats includes (beside the original version of course) a sweet previously unrelease remix from diskjokke, one of those hot producers from oslo (like prince thomas, lindstrom). diskjokke just had his second album out on smalltown supersound but found time to deliver this sweet remix job. comes with two endless loops in the run out groove. fine art is on a great run with this cool 10... vinyl only

after the real thing ep, arthur pochon a.k.a art bleek is coming back on sharivari with four deep and funky tracks. from alright and its straight and dynamic bassline, to the broken style beats of deep hop, full of percussions and jazzy grooves, and closing the ep with the wild and hypnotising hi-hats of traces & dust, the immigrant ep proves that the parisian producer is still one of the ambassadors of the french deep techno scene.

the sound of the track is powerful and effective, the middle break is built up on a slow tempo hardcore kick drum, which takes you into the massive floorfiller melody. the lyrics speak for themselves!
on the b side the aggressive and strong remix by meccano twins on their typical style, a smashing kick drum, earbleeding grooves and noisy sounds.

more deep and moody grooves from mike grants label. greg stadford is behind the monkier black art who’s previous production credits have included mixes of blake baxters seminal deep n da groove ep. nice and jazzy the favourite cut is just groovin a wicked blend of st germain keys and funky organ riffs, over some skippy detroit drums. dig this is a mellow late night journey of psychedelic horns and guitar licks with dreamy pianos floating over the top. ‘sweet’ is more on a broken jazz tip with live drums and a cute vocal snip that dubs itself over the rhodes bed. the production quality of this ep is stunning. very strong stuff from m & g!

producer toby leeming is making quite a name for himself. after a year of sowing the seeds on the underground, this london-based artist makes his first high profile release on arts newly formed dance division series. >messier 66< contains all the classic elements of pure dancefloor techno. driving ur style beats merge with basic channel chord delays - all underpinned by a menacing acid line. techno doesnt get any more sci-fi than the alien soundscapes of >anadine< - its classic detroit-inspired string stabs and abstract vocal washes are highlights of a frantic, scattering track that will keep the feet busy on the dancefloor. >paucity< ends this no-filler ep with its majestic, sweeping pads and uplifting melodies. the beats are still tough and relentless - making a perfect finale to the second release on arts dance division series.

wonderful release by kyle hall on his new detroit based label wild oats. masterpiece 4 track ep, each track divine and unique in its own way. hot jazzy kyle hall fashioned deephouse that can serve a lounge and at the same time bang even harder on a dancefloor. kyle halls experimentalist off beat antics meets smooth jazz would be a way to describe the sound. poly rhythms everywhere but at the same time a cohesive groovy soulful feel. overall this ep is a must buy for anyone who is for the future of the electronic music genre and enjoys quality.

limited cassette release with 60 minutes of experimental acid adventures by art brunell aka acid quiff aka the conformist.

herman is probably the coolest artist name we have heard in a while.. so unsexy and very unlikely that its not someone s real name... but stuart li must have had a laugh about it with some friends and some beers! stuart li aka basic soul unit aka herman starts this project for his production that one would not directly link to his chicago house rooted basic soul unit releases. herman delivers two hot tracks with dubstep fueled beats, sub bass driven grooves with detroit influenced sounds that one could expect on a label such as hessle audio. title track prototype is total killer which goes into the direction of 2562 and martyn. april skies sound like aril brikha meets 2562 meets basic soul unit. hot release!!

werkstoff musik war ursprünglich eine kleine partyreihe im berliner underground. mit neuen perspektiven und ehrgeiz entstand daraus die idee ein plattenlabel zu gründen, den namen aber beizubehalten. die einstige zielsetzung wird hierbei natürlich auch übernommen, mal für mal neue musikalische erlebnisse zu schaffen. dreher & sm.art dürften spätestens nach ihrem erfolgreichem depeche mode remix jedermann ein begriff sein. viele weitere produktionen auf namenhaften labels wie acker, rotary cocktail und ostwind folgten. nun zum kick-off das erstrelease >dreieckspeilung< auf werkstoff musik, ein track der es wirklich in sich hat. mittels fetten synthies und bassigen elementen wird hier eine musikalische abfahrt inszeniert. unterm strich ergibt das ein hammerstück, welches durch seine euphorische stimmung nach sommer und open air schreit. support kommt hierbei, mit den remixen, von frank martiniq und jerando.
