he is back. twenty years after boulevard, fifteen years after the multi-platinum album tourist (over 3 million copies sold worldwide) and a world tour spanning several continents, ludovic navarre, alias st germain, finally found his way back into the studio. an uncontested and respected figure in the world of electronic music for the past two decades, a pioneer of the * french touch* and a creator of intelligent and sensual deep house, st germain has always stood out. his consummate art thrives on a subtle mixture of machines and instruments, of authentic roots and modern influences.

ultra limited, one copy per customer! in an absurd world, full of unwanted auditory sensations, sometimes we have to escape back to the basement - back to the beats. that feeling, that need, paved the way for blint to release his very first solo ep � blint001. the record is a two-tracker: on side a you�ll find �silent movements�, a bassline-driven broken beat with a dark twist in the end. on the flipside there is �road to ioannina� which is based on an 808 drum pattern, accompanied by a smooth synth-odyssee. the record comes along with a fine art print of the cover, drawn by graffitiartist rookie the weird, handsigned and numbred on 300gr. paper. a special gadget, that is connecting blint s musical output to his roots in graffiti and hip-hop culture. a true underground-package from germanys ruhr-area!

we started the classic series featuring tracks that we love, bought, played out and which we have the feeling more people should know about them. for this third, it is a great honor for us to welcome such a living legend, a pioneer from kalamazoo, michigan (city right in the middle between chicago and detroit): jay denham aka fade ii black. his style is a unique blend of these two worlds - chicago house and detroit techno, with a kalamazoo touch. he stays true to the underground, makes the music for the art of it and always remembers where he comes from.

up first is gigolo, a spare and weird house cut with sine waves and random claps, hunched drums and trippy synth lines. it s a unique track made in a unique way and will lead to plenty of freaky dance floor moments, for sure. co. art is a whacked out techno cut with slap-funk claps, blistering and blistered synth lines and a rugged bit of bass underlining it all. the track is cavernous and metallic, empty and distant as if it somehow survived a nuclear blast. on the flip, alzheimer is a slow and gurgling, swampy techno number with broken drums and crawling synths that sound like their batteries have run down. icy, watery melodies eventually rain down, but the track remains resolutely eerie. last of all, fabric is another decaying track with subtle, heavily filtered synths and drums all making for a minimal groove that is barely there.

hedonism is an ethical theory that pleasure, in a sense of satisfaction of desires, is the highest good and proper aim of human life, and this seems to also be hdnsm�s ultimate musical objective. their first release debuted as a kickstarter of �variant ep� v.a. series, showcasing three very different yet highly contemplative creations from cumsecade, anestie gomez and man spider. hdnsm flips the coin and for the second episode of �variant� series it lands on two very solid, incredibly moody and extensive works from fresh talents shcaa and cleymoore. the ep features two very different tracks yet they share the same minimalistic core. both works are blessed with intricate micro-drum arrangements for those feeling groove hungry whilst still standing tall in the experimental abstract realm pleasing those who crave unusual frequencies. a-side�s �masquée� is one of shcaa�s typical rides between sound and silence and it is hard to find another artist who understands sound gaps between grooves better than shcaa does. with his signature vocals and an incredibly delicious duality between acoustic instrumentalism and electronic slamming, this is a groovy, highly deep, very intelligently arranged piece. the flip-side �nebula�, signed by pluie/noir�s boss cleymoore, is a tip of an iceberg when it comes to the art of stripping down. in an apparently thin canvas of minimal drum arrangements there�s a vast amount of sound frequencies underneath a steady ever-kicking groove, tricking your mind into thinking that you�re hearing less than you actually perceive. nebula is hypnotic and dense but focused and sophisticatedly groovy. like the repetitive vocals you�ll hear throughout the b-side, this v.a. sticks to your mind like an addiction of some sort and pushes hdnsm to a new standard of avant-garde and forward-thinking attitude. as before, this vinyl only release comes in a gorgeous cover featuring a painting from max binski and the number of copies available is limited

raam follows up his two earlier eps with some warm, gritty and analogue fuzz. the ep starts with padme which is a heavy and chord driven techno track. a thick synth stab is building up over a tight 909-beat, wooden percussion to a big crescendo which makes this track a peak time banger.

volkan ak&#305,n is a fresh name in the scene that already buzzed some radars worldwide and succeeded in impressing and released his music in well established imprints like sammy dee�s ultrastrech where he had his brilliant debut with a villalobos remix. with �sinister� he skims away from his usual stripped down minimalistic grooves and presents us two tracks of lush, intimate works of deep textures, analog machine love-making noises and intricate drum arrangements with very personal tones. and while the a side �sinister� keeps us on edge with a virtually consistent momentum of suspense and a very conveniently sinister mood, the flipside �atest� takes us on a ride between the high skies and the deep seas, on a seamlessly neverending loop of peaceful pads and very addicting dreamy tones. this very special limited release comes in a unusual but deliciously collectible transparent yellow 10� vinyl with a remarkable and equally sinister painting by new york-based artist emily marchesiello, art director and co-founder of the galerie project. she specializes in fantasy animal portraiture art, via ink, water color and oil paint. project london

"you wake from sleep, the door closes by itself and the walls run with slime and rain. a shadow moves, almost familiar, welcoming and simultaniously intimidating. the candle flickers and snuffs out. a noise. your torch is dying. something takes your hand. long fingernails and old skin. you mark the floor, chant the incantation. together. in the first of our split series we present two modern artists who�s imaginations know no limit. abstract drones, anchient machinery, neon cities within the shadow of the overfiend. heading up side a is the legendary cristoph de babalon, whose work in the late 90s on digital hardcore and his own cfet proved to be some of the most unique and timeless of the period. seperated by european boarders, the reigns are taken by triames, cutting the rhythms to explore techno as a more abstract concept, beautifully detailed work in between lustmord and emptyset. giallo disco is proud to present �invocation of the demon twin vol. 1′ possibly the most sinister and atmospheric release to date, and also one of our most special. art by eric lee."

>cissi moon changed my life! it was in a now refurbished part of stockholm in a futuristic cafe/club called holger that i had my first encounter with loudly played club music. the night was called db and we lined up with our fake ids every saturday to hear cissi moon spin drum & bass records and let the bass engulf our beings.< >at the time the art of making electronic music was totally alien to me, i could not for the life of me work out how to ever make music that carried the same emotional and physical impact as i felt on that dance floor. i have spent the last 17 years or so trying to get back to that state of being at one and completely lost with the music.< this record concludes a trilogy of eps by peder mannerfelt on his eponymously named label. what comes next is everything and beyond.

general ludd is rich mcmaster from new jersey and tom marshallsay from canterbury. the guys met at the glasgow art school, where rich studied environmental art and tom studied fine art. their first collaborations were interactive sound installations, but that quickly gave way to all night music making sessions. this is their second ep for us � a more left field turn than their first, but, we can assure you, both tracks will break discerning dancefloors wide open.
