dfa complete the set of black meteoric star tracks onto vinyl with >dreamcatcher/dawn< on the third and final 12 from the album. gavin russom has created a unique tribute to the early days of synth and drum machine experimentation with this project, inhabiting the spirits of everyone from giorgio moroder to ron hardy with hypnotically brilliant effects. >dreamcatcher< is another undiluted jam at 120bpm, sounding like a lo-fi moroder tripout with gorgeous arpeggiations swirling in a pool of shallow resonant tape hiss. >dawn< on the flip is the slowest track on the album, a sub 100bpm psyched electro-soul groove with cracking handclaps and an uncompromisingly lo-fi attitude. dead cool.

the sunshine coast?s resident electronic maverick, milanese is back on with his heavy-as-fuck 2nd album on the mighty planet mu, and a snapshot of the continued evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise uk bass music.
having pioneered the heavy, dark and twisted experimental dubstep sound with his previous releases on warp, combat, mg77, arcola, seed and planet mu, this new lp sees a shift towards collaboration. with strong vocal artists like ben sharpa (pioneer unit, cape town) and rqm (al haca, vienna), who deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style, melded perfectly with milanese?s own fat swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude and odd, mangled samples.
melting dubstep?s earth shaking frequencies with hip hop & grime vocals and hard edged timbaland influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop nor idm - you could call it a mashup of all these, but it?s more accurate to say it sounds like streetwise bass music for the year 3000. incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeping the funk, fury and bounce 100% on lockdown.
challenging, menacing and forward thinking like his previous releases 1up on warp (2004) and extend on planet mu (2006), its also 31 year old steve milanese?s most dancefloor record yet.

phantasma volume 2 by dinky, matthew styles and pier bucci is out now. this lovingly designed record is produced by three artists we really like and and it is just grea they decided to work with us again. matthew is damn sure one of our favourite producers and pier s skills are nothing short of his. on the last release we made with them, they d worked together as oblique strategies on balld inc. for phantasma volume 2 pier wrote a track on his own, highlighting the noble beats he is known for and expanding the explicit cadenced patterns with a chord phrase that leads the structure to perfection. dinky whose work was released on such labels as cocoon, traum, vakant and of course on her own imprint horizontal composed the other side together with matthew and you can sense their familiarity at once. the two arranged >choises< carefully, sleek and free of any kind of hubris. well, this attitude is hart to find these days and their versed piece may calm your stressed out ears both in the club and at home

hot natured represents a sunny and modern take on classic and future classic music. subtly changing, and adding a new edge to some of the many different genres that have influenced the east london wideboy and los angeles newcomer who are behind the label. along the way hot natured will serve up disco through techno re-edits, pop remixes even slices of hip hop injected with the kind of dancefloor knowledge only a seasoned dj can tap into. whether its the reimagining of seminal artists like radiohead to kanye west, or chic to notorious b.i.g, the main goal is to do this with a certain level of sophistication and class, that is often lacking in the >unofficial remix< world.these artists and their work have represented unique points of inspiration for hot natured and its aesthetic. some might argue, >why mess with perfection?< well that attitude isnt much fun, is it? so please sit back, or rather get up and enjoy the first serving of hot natured, two naughty groove riddled versions of possibly two of the best pop records of 2008, chopped spliced and funked up by a well known london techno youngster.

electroesque soundscapes with a minimal attitude, made by jonah sharp for parallel recordings in 1998.

phantasma one is the first 12?,, of our second compilation, featuring”clapper” by tobias. and efdemin s “hope”. we are astonished and thrilled this split ep doesn t even sound like one but is of beautiful consistence and adequacy. “clapper” hypnotizes from the first second with a straight forward percussion rhythm which curls inescapable upwards even in the mind of an inattentive listener, pushing ahead with classic machine drums driven with a both glaring and harsh attitude. the crystal surface of efdemin s “hope” is woven into a plait of swelling basses and enriched with extensive spins of snare rolls and precious carpets of highlighted chords which seems to rise out of the drums which carry the whole track with slick efficiency. without a doubt this vinyl will be in every record case for a long time. grab your copy as long as there are some.

the second release from merkur aka japasese embassy is coming. we can expect an exciting and unexpected 3 tracker which does not fit in any conventional category. gonno, tokyo based producer and dj, has graped everyones attetion with his outstanding “i don’t need competition (inkl. donnacho costello mix)” on beyond records in late winter 2008. for merkur he has designed the acid-revival track “desolation 303?,,. this track is build on a tricky chicago styled rhythm and an acid sequence which first comes slowly, later on developing an beautiful drive suitable on every dancefloor. berlin based japanese artist / label owner shingo suwa painted the tune “silver blue” with a lot of love for chords and melodic spins. maybe you can call it housemusic knocked down to a minimal attitude. “two of us” plays with warm synths on a solid base, slightly referring to the detroit deep house culture and impressing with an advanced but nevertheless solid groove

dosed #2 is made by michigan techno pioneer kikoman. always on the edge between techno and house with a fresh minimal attitude.
