toby leeming aka the third man returns with his 3rd ep for art - and what a belter it is. maintaining the high quality of previous releases >future tense< and >more than one< both aim for the dancefloor whilst retaining the melodic and harmonic sophistication that made tangier (art-dds4) and messier 66 (art-dds2) such sought-after tracks. another buy-on-sight release from art

again a surprising but quality release on the never dull fine art recordings. new promising artist the k system delivers some experimental dubstep not dubstep electronics reminding of early rephlex stuff from the early nineties. very interesting stuff. final release of fine art recordings!

justin berkovi delivers 2 heads down mid-tempo techno dance tracks for his art debut. clean, crisp production with thunderous low end characterise both tracks. the title track drive delivers its power via modulating synth stabs, whilst when i throw down commands the dancefloor with its demonic vocal. a classic label debut from one of technos most loved producers.

new werkstoff musik with double masterminds dreher and smart. incl huge falko brocksieper and david pasternack remixes. aus einer warmen und deepen grundstimmung heraus entfalten sich filigrane schleier aus technoiden downs und offs, die dem sich niemals zurücklehnenden beat eine grundlegende gelassenheit verleihen. in einem meer voller zurückhaltend modulierter, dunkler und geheimnisvoller sounds wecken dreher und sm.art sanft verschnörkelte erinnerungen an alte zeiten des acid- und tribalhouse. trotzdem wirkt der track klar, konsequent und ohne überflüssigen ballast. ruegenrund, das ist ein siebeneinhalb minuten dauernder magischer moment, voller kraft, harmonie, glaube, versprechen und vertrauen. ein offener blick in eine tiefe seele, wie ein spaziergang am rande der welt, verträumt und trotzdem voller gespannter erwartung.

art of fighters will deliver the anthem for thunderdome 2012!

art department are back on the mothership crosstown to kick off 2012 in lurid style with a slice of slow burning, chugging disco-tech and pendulum beats in new single >touch you gently<. the b-side is taken care of with a powerful brenann green rework of >tell me why<, from the much lauded album >the drawing board<.

very strong release with the boogie / slomo-house groover >hope< and the irresistable hook and dub/disco feel of the more uptempo >no delay<. excellent production, this will stir up things for sure. winner!

limited edition high quality re-release on blue vinyl of this classic 1983 album by the art of noise.

opera meets hardcore on my sun !!

ever since the visionary 2010 debut >without you<, art department have been shaking the music community to the molten core with their psychedelic, bass driven unique take on electronic music. crosstown rebels now presents one of the most lauded tracks from their recent opus >the drawing board<, heralded by many as album of the year, with exemplary remixes from caribous daphni and the legendary dj harvey. >we call love< feat. soul clap & osunlade is a deviant classic for the futuristic age.

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.

the art of acid is an exclusive set of bonus re-edits of classic house tracks rubbed down by a veritable who is who of dance music new and old, part 2 includes edits and re-works from ashley beedle, rub n tug, dusty kid and boys noize. collecting together the cream of early acid house tracks from the traxlabel (out of chicago) that were central to the formation of dance culture as we know it today, >the art of acid<, is a blistering tribute to the last great cultural revolution of the 20th century.

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!

room with a view never stands still with another killer 4 tracker. the second installment of the midnight circle lullabies serie of 2011 is offering a serious bunch of tracks once again... support from jimpster, dj sneak, djulz, manik, slam, kink, scope, lovebirds, trevor jackson, nuno dos santos, tim paris, kolombo

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

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 department releases their latest anthemic monster of a single - >living the life<, pre-empting their highly anticipated artist album ‘the drawing board released in april. featuring the ghostly vocals of detroits newest musical prodigy, seth troxler, technos new elite figure, this sublime gothic house creation has set mouths salivating the world over as art department have been shaking its foundations. profound lyrics, beguiling basslines, mysterious synth patterns and soothing croons make the original a highlight on the stunning art department album. the >aba therapy version< is equally mind-blowing, snaking around troxlers extended vocals in a dreamlike futuristic interpretation that is pure and heartfelt. an ethereal beauty that inspires the imagination this package illustrates why art department have staged their own movement and are flying high on the wings of unrivalled success right now.

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.
