adesse versions has been dropping some choice originals and edits on a host of renowned and respected labels for the last four years and we’re proud to add him to the esteemed list of artists to release on delusions of grandeur. from early white labels on make love in public spaces and his own adesse versions label through to his recent outings on heist, numbers, razor n tape, let’s play house and local talk, he continuous to impress with his raw, sample-heavy production which brings pure energy to the dance floor. for his pulp fusion ep, adesse presents three diverse and brilliant cuts, all showing off his deft touch in the studio and providing what we feel is his strongest work to date. pulp fusion leads the a side with cutting clavinets doubling up the syncopated bassline, a super-charged romp where disco meets filtered house resulting in a track with widespread appeal despite its raw and underground approach. the a2 entitled fade out drops the bpm’s for a string-drenched, philly soul jam, heavy on percussion but with a gentle lilt and balearic vibe that makes it perfect for the wind down. last but definitely not your average b side filler we have the mighty raw in its live edit incarnation. militantly minimal in sonic palate, this jacked up house track simply rocks the spot thanks to adesses ballsy arrangement,production prowess and nasty bassline, rounding off this ep with a punch

limitierte pressung auf cremefarbenem vinyl.

klaus returns from a 2 and a half year hiatus from himself with just 11 minutes of music - that s an average of less than a second of music per day, which is frankly ridiculous. you might recognise the a side if you were there when ben ufo opened up for jamie the xx at brixton academy, the only confirmed occasion this tune has been played in public. few are brave enough to do so as it is pretty murky. youve gone full heart of darkness eh (morris da boss kudos) lenna woke up when i played it, she cried but then grinned (manchu)

thule s dark doppelganger ae recordings was revived last year with the excellent freyja ep by nonnimal, and now the saga continues with this devastatingly on-point release from cold. much like the vibe on thule, the music on thule continues to channel the mood of the icy tundra into refined, modern club tracks, but there s definitely a more sinister intent at work in these tracks from cold. -aerials- is a nightmarish chugger loaded with eerie sonics, while -phased out- lays down some fine dubby processing over a bed of chilly chord pulses. -exiles- is a standout track thanks to its crafty groove, coming on a little more housey than its counterparts but still heavier than the average thule jam.

jackbeat and deep house maverick d’marc cantu (already on notable imprints like m>o>s, creme organization, spectral sound, bopside, sequencias...) teams up with paolo iocca, ra-1 head honcho, for a split ep that is more than your average dj tool. deeply nested minimalistic melodies, squelching bleeps over jacking grooves, afro-centric percussions and overall cosmic eccentricities, the pair explores numerous varieties of sounds and rhythms with manic artisanship. a record you can both throw at your upcoming party or listen to in perfect solitude.

brooklyn based 369 records returns with its second release, a split 12 featuring artist co la and jeremy hyman. a side is laced with the freaky self extended edit of co la s -barricade-. this track sculpts sound into a club ready fast pace tune sure to leave people intrigued and begging for more. on the b side jeremy hyman introduces a hypnotic melody unlike many you have heard before. building on this melody it slaps you with the clap, and beats you with the bass. dance floor tested , this release is not your average twelve inch. both co la and jeremy hyman have a rich discography and sick pedigree before their solo careers. co la aka matthew papich played in ecstatic sunshine ( carpark records) before starting his solo project co la (software records, primary information) , and also a key contributor to lifted (pan records) jeremy hyman is a rare breed. a classically trained drummer who has played for more legendary bands than one can name (ponytail, dan deacon boredoms, animal collective, lifted) . he has recently started a wild independent self titled electronic solo career. he has already released tracks on future times records

vanguard sound! founder and head honcho, amir alexander returns with the ep that marks a turning point for the label. the 10th degree uzi ep is the first release to come with the official logo artwork. a1 features risque female hip house vocals over a chugging acid groove. a2 has a crazy sounding british lady talking about rocking the dance floor with her supernatural sound uzi over a house piano loop and deep dirty bass line. b1 is an urgent, odd-time signature acid house club destroyer, and b2 is dark, melodic, textured techno that mourns and laments the seedy underbelly of the average after party. vs011 is the beginning of a new era for the label. it marks the transition from rookie to veteran status label-hood. serious dj weaponry.

if you‘re familiar with cvbox‘ music you know that he isn’t the guy for your average techno track. formalistic song structures aren’t his thing. when you’ll start to listen to a new cvbox track you’ll don’t know how it will end. his music derives from his deep love for analogue gear and a pretty unique way to deal with it.
on his first album “so ist es im nadelwald” cvbox rides between the corner points of techno, electro and ambient. the music is infused by an omnipresent darkness that isn’t just there as an end in itself but will definitely give the thrills to listener and dancers.

for our fourth release we carefully selected tracks by two talented newcomers from romania. you already know melodie from rora10, joined on this one by another promising artist from bucharests techno scene - teluric. this is not your average split ep, but rather more of a collaboration between these two guys. the a side features two tracks under their individual guises, while the b-side showcases their collaborative effort, glueped, the fruit of years of friendship and working together. >glues from the toolbox< is a complete package and its meant to guide you through different moods and states of mind. 180g vinyl only. blue white marbled.

this is idle033: the sound of an accomplished dancefloor producer stretching out. these aren t straight dance tracks, neither is this a ponderous ambient lp. this is vivid, vital electronic music for modern times. tracks to cut through the monotony of depressingly average house and techno releases. the music shimmers with warmth and humanity, a testament to karmil s personality as well as his skill as a producer. one can sense in the tracks that this a musician who has travelled and absorbed much along the way: long drawn out winter nights in sweden with the studio barnhus crew. years spent in cologne with its distinguished electronic sound, a city which has given so much to the world with kompakt and more. last but not least you can sense karmil s upbringing here in the uk, the roughness and rudeness all added to the mix. idle hands has never been a label to follow trends or to take the easy path. it has strived to keep people guessingand to remain in awe and wonder at new music being produced. inmatt karmil it has found a producer whoembodies this notion.

bookworms drops cut after cut on his debut album xenophobe. this double lp delivers 7 tracks showcasing some of his best material to date. after listening to the title track, we know xenophobe is not going to be an average 12”. u-more is a slow and steady pulse of head nodding thud. illusion flip is a hazy, bass driven track hidden behind waves of noise and warm melody. on the flip side, showering is pure techno guided by an evolving modular loop built for the floor. nik dawson has no boundaries.

ltd re-release , non-smoking, 511, veteran deep house music producer originally from derbyshire, slowly greying but still looks distinctly average for age, is seeking the ultimate groove for creation. must be up for good times, deep beats, soulful vibes and the occasional chilled night in.

raw joints vol 4 , with eight fresh tracks with raw house music

third ear have selected four deeply satisfying jams by orlando voorn, demonstrating a masters touch with rhythm and sound.

nebraska is someone who’s tracks we’ve been loving for a good few years now and finally managed to pin him down for a release here on delusions of grandeur. the uk producer is something of an enigma, and despite some amazing releases on rush hour still remains resolutely underground and seems to keep his releases to a minimum, focusing on keeping the quality high rather than flooding the market with average material. once again, he brings the real deal with three drum-heavy warehouse jams to nice-up the dancefloor. aw-right (mute version) sets the tone with a raw house groove that keeps things stripped to the bare minimum. a bouncing bassline and rattling percussion break help to define the track but it’s the dusty, dubby approach to the mix which really makes the track shine. next up we have warp and weft, a similar sounding track but by dropping the bpm’s nebraska has created a sublime low-slung, bumpy groove to really move to. flipping over we’re treated to the brilliant eighty eights which will have you nodding your head like the churchill’s dog before you can say ‘looped up piano and bass one bar groove repeated for over eight and a half minutes shouldn’t work should it?’

amir alexander acid (aaacid) returns with his jack ingoff alias, a sub-alias of his smiley virus pseudonym to bring you an abstract acid dj tool ep. fully road tested from berlin, to nyc, to the ukraine, and beyond it s been leaving wrecked dance floors in its wake. as per usual, the tracks on this label always feature odd time synth patterns against 4x4 beats creating poly-rhythmic effect that first stupefies and then invigorates the crowd as they realize that these are not the average acid tracks. stripped raw bangers. just 909 and a 303 pure and simple. yet utilized in fresh, new, and complex ways.

spatial has always been more exploratory than your average stepper, but with his audiovisual (or opti-sonic as he puts it) project primitives, every aspect of his output blooms outward with android rigour.

originally from california and now residing in montreal, stefny winter arrives on third ear with a fully-formed sound. this music is dark and trippy with plenty of weight. the tracks are long, on average 8 minutes and unfold relentlessly, never letting go. over an hour of beautifully imagined and carefully realised techno, finishing with the stunning rise.

it s only so long before liam geddes becomes a name you ll start hearing on the worldwide underground stage. having already churned out a number of uncompromisingly deep house tracks over the past couple of years, he comes armed with another exceptional ep on mil - the third release on the new music is love sister label - that further demonstrates his genuine dynamism as a producer. the with closed eyes ep should win this very talented producer the recognition his fresh beat work deserves into the wild gets proceedings underway, a ripping bassline paves out over rattling percussion shakes while oscillating dream like jingles play out during the course of the track. chopped vocal samples are introduced and tease against the shuffling drums which elevates the track with real drive and groove. close ya eyes for the journey packs the same layer of heat with its similarly groove-heavy bassline - a staple of geddes well-crafted sound. firmly footed, intermittent chimes seep into the track and are complemented by siren-like chords which grow truer in presence, until a hypnotic vocal snippet fulfils the deep terrains of the track. a saint is a tumultuous techno-fused roller with it s rip-roaring bassline and percussive loops which rhythmically swing out over shuddering pads, sustained chords and a cut up female vocal, brining a twist of colour to the arrangements of the track. there s a keen sense of tension and release, elevating this above your average and confirms geddes does depth and darkness with real conviction. broke will surely prove a high point for any decent dj set, and sounds like a cut you d expect from someone like delano smith. strings faintly play out over looped key chimes and a funk-like riff, while ticking hi-hats and a careful use of vocal sample gives the track extra heat, each element powered by the rumbling bassline.

first release on eerie that is not by his founder/owner marco shuttle, is by healing force project (antonio marini), another italian obscure electronic music producer who has already been delivering pure crystal quality on labels like acido, electronique and sequencias. the release has been defined by marco shuttle himself as a very diverse and hypnotic 4 tracker of electronica, spiritual jazz, psychedelic funk eclectically fused together for what is a very sophisticated and modern idea of techno do we need to say more?

acid diaper as he was descriped by the prspct crew earlier this year: there is quite some mystery surrounding this new producer. even us at prspct hq have no idea who he is and where he is from. he has chosen to keep his identity secret to the world. kind of like batman but instead of fighting bad people this vigilantes goal is to terrorize the world with pure audio violence. 4/4, acid, gabber dnb designed to torture the average mainstream music listener. however, us deranged individuals at prspct hq fucking love it and can assure you. his tunes rock out hard!

after the vocal treatments and acid lines of tallmen 001, moog feedback comes rumbling through as tallmen 002 kicks in. multi joins as a co-producer for d220 ghosts of guitar and synth lines weave in and out as it picks up momentum, the kick drum planted firmly in the chest plate and swirling high-hats complete this burner of a track. floating ground returns to acid but not as one would expect. a simple melody turns into a strange animal, flying at once into outer-space then landing squarely on the 1, this is not your average acid tune.

dj steef, the mysterious edit maestro is back with an eclectic four-track killer ep on his own biomix label : a1 is based on some 80s classic thriller soundtrack, with a sexy female voice and epic synths. the slo-mo a2 is very funky, with a deeeeeeep bass and tropical percussions. b1 is a disco killer that will make clap his hands and stomp his feet any average dancer! b2 is some kind of balearic and catchy edit with spanish lyrics and a hypnotic loop

hailing from holland, ekman has been haunting the dancefloors for some time now with his deformed acid influenced dark and nasty slow electro and techno tunes. his sound fits in perfect in between drugged out techno and new beat / early techno stuff. even some classic electro touches are in there. simply excellent for your not so average dance party, but who likes average anyway.

the descent of man ep is the third and last part of a trilogy on vinyl dedicated to charles darwin studies. this final chapter is focused on the darkest side of electronic music and his impact on human psychology. as charles darwin studied the evolution of physical and mental traits, we want to show how obscure, trembling and aggressive sounds generate an increasing sense of agitation and loss while mild and gloomy atmospheres can relieve the body and brain, achieving a peaceful state of mind. dont be afraid to move into a shady space. this is not the end even if it could be.

paxton fettel intrinsically invites you to the very core of his soul with mana, a heart wrenching ode to suave and unassuming house music. real instruments and penetrating decisiveness serve an emotionally rendered piece of the blues, perpetually enticing mood binding empathetic maneuvers. paxton orchestrates feeling with musicality well beyond the average clique, despairing yet hopeful, slickly jazzed and upfront drumming produce a mad example of what he is capable of pulling off/straight out of copenhagen we get treated to yet another fine instance of a paxton fettel classic with they go unseen.

here comes the first release lf the outstanding super disco stars hard ton on our label! with a-side track rise up we have the first track with chart potential on our label we d say. we love it anyway! b1 track work that body shows off the heavier jacking side of hard ton and b2 monotone rounds up the ep with its uplifting house chords. not our average cup of tea, but we fckng love it

with this release the obscure but legendary boerft records from sweden starts releasing some interesting electronic dancemusic again (after some resting years). the new format is minilp, longer playtime than an average 12 but still dj quality! peel md is first out with this acidios travell that will make no resting moments but powerfull cruel groovy acid mood... through their common appreciation for acid-artists such as phuture, bam bam and unit moebius, as well as artists of such diversity as autechre, eurythmics and killing joke, they started to blend these influences with their own respective styles to come up with the concoction that is peel md. this is their debut release on vinyl. limited edition of 250!

the superb sunshine reworks series reaches release number 5, and no surprise it is another seriously addictive duo of masterfully reinterpreted underground classics founded by one of the uks most respected djs and producers - dean sunshine smith & curated from a 30 year plus collection of mind-blowing music and frontline djing. this label has made quite a mark over the last three releases & justifiably so, these go way beyond the average cut n paste edit agend, taking firm favourites into altogether new directions. dean is a key member of the garden festival team out in croatia, he can be found residing in the sunshine season after season, where you can always find him sharing his warm & soulful selection.

following the extraordinary outings of his 2010 debut 12 inches on phantasy sound (summertime our league / havai), and an album and mini album in 2009/11 respectively (weekend / preparing a voice to meet the people coming) on perdizes dream/glue moon, sao paolo based babe, terror returns with knights ep his visionary take on modern sampleapsychedelica or wdm (wrong dance music) as he describes it, composed under the influence of the cadence of life. this heady stew of unsettling aural landscapes and lush, cinematic stories, have earned him the admiration of the new yorker, said the gramophone, the guardian, coke machine glow and uncut as well as the likes of arto lindsay, four tet, james holden.
this isnt your average piece of vinyl as well as >five killer tracks of skewed house / hynogogia<, it features etched illustrations around the edge and in the centre. oh, and listeners have to play it from the inside out – i.e. the stylus needs to be placed in the middle of the record…

dollys first release in 2012 and immediately setting a high standard for the year to come! this time aroy dee under his mos disguise is delivering the deepness, and this one could be very well one of his strongest releases to date. present as usual are his trademark vintage synths & drums, but this goes beyond the average retro chicago stuff. skillfull on the machines while its very clear the music comes from deep within. marcel fengler on remix duty adds a little techno punch, which perfectly tops of this very fine release.

if you have heard daniel martin-mccormicks name recently, it would probably have been either in association with his disco/punk/echo band mi ami, or as sex worker on the not not fun label, or finally as ital on nnfs sister label 100% silk, recording quite different sounding house music to this album. raised in washington dc, daniel has a history in the citys hardcore scene, he was in the dischord records signed black eyes, but was also making dance inspired tracks at the same period, but coming from a very different angle from your average guy with a copy of logic and a working knowledge of dance musics history.
double 12 inch vinyl, including code for free download of this release.

roberto clementi hails from a small town on italys east coast somewhere between riccione and rome. he is much more of an inventive sound designer as opposed to an average music producer. his tunes range from deep and lush to uplifting and party-pumping - often fueled by minimal subby basslines, retro-ish melodic elements, elegantly cut-up vocals, and an overall warm, analog feel. he currently has releases and remixes on labels like unfoundsound, monique musique, distric raw, undercut, stolen moments, manual music, kompass musik, suara, greel pound, sk supreme, and others. he is also one-half of i-rob alongside roby dj, and they have releases on labels like autist, tenax recordings, clasque musique, and others. his debut ep for steadfast features 3 techno trax ranging in mood and atmosphere but all sharing a perfect dancefloor sensibility and top-notch production. brendon moellers reshape aint half bad either.

neon dreams is the debut album from london-based producer and night slugs co-founder james connolly, aka l-vis 1990. across 15-tracks and 55-minutes, james distils a lifetimes worth of musical influences and experiences while conveying the story of the last 12 months in his life through vocalists samantha lim and javeon mccarthy. 2010s *forever you* single, which featured mccarthy, was a key jumping off point in establishing the overall vibe of neon dreams. the track features here as a slimmed down, 3.5 minute version. this length represents approximately the average track-duration across the entire lp, and is indicative of james long-held desire to proffer an album in very much the traditional sense of the term. further vocal turns come from co-founder of the sound pellegrino imprint and french hip-hop outfit ttc, teki latex.

fried tofu exists to bring some soulful sounds back into the mix. they have a militant approach to their output, selecting only the finest source material, and sympathetically reducing the ingredients to their raw, dancefloor friendly essence celebrating the often superior production of the 70s and 80s and avoiding the loudness wars which has seen club music recently distilled into an overcompressed and lifeless mass. far too many words have been wasted in the average release info sheet. so lets keep it short and let the music speak for itself.

for the second and far overdue release on his little leaf imprint matt moroder delivers a superlative psychedelic reimagination of shuggie otis which sits far beyond the realm of your blog standard ableton edit. matt scliced the original into little pieces put it new together and added some drums and percussion with the respect this soul classic deserves. this rework is hypnotizing makes you wish to never end. on the flip hamburgs hardest working entertainer erobique used the same kind of gentleness to rework some cello and voice by one of the greates disco visionaries and songwriters that left us much to early. by creating a dirty mpc beat and blend it with vocals and cello erobique creates his own vision of the late arthur russell far from the average four too the floor mediocrity. this vinyl only release is strictly limited to 300 copies and shines even more with a splendid artwork that shows love and care
