with this first ep, s.o.n.s pays homage to the early age of electronic dance music, when techno, house and trance were friendly to each other, when tracks were full of deepness and harmonics, when drums were crazy and raw, when techno was soulful. yeah, this is all about this ep, some soulful deep techno excursions. while the a1 is an after-hours emotional weapon freely inspired by an obscure m. goddard production some will recognize, the a2 is a more straight forward electro track with dark vocals and rising chords, as they made it in detroit back in the days. on the other side of the record is a techno journey through a rainforest with pan flute, deep chords and old school bassline. plus there is a little bonus locked groove: a mere 4/4 tr909 bass drum s.o.n.s personally uses in their crazy obscure techno mixes. turquoise vinyl + foil sticker on cover, limited to 200 copies. mastered by matt colton (l.i.e.s, apron…)

hotjam volume four with four more slamming house music with great vintage flavours

dj spider & franklin de costa come along with a massive follow-up of their first single on killekill (cat number 016). second bass on the a-side is a bomb of a track with its jazzy beats, otherworldly strings and a bassline straight out of hell. comsume is even more otherworldly with its stumbling, shuffling beat and a spaced-out vocal sample taken from an unnamed sci-fi movies from the 50s. coffee break, the last track of the ep, is a deadlock groove of heavy beats and freaky breaks, that leaves you lost in time and space.

freshly dj sneak, limited coloured vinyl edition

over the years electric deluxe has become a beacon for established names to test out new projects, and its with great pleasure we welcome another unknown into the fold. arad is the fresh-faced solo guise of dara smith, best known as one half of lakker. together with partner ian mcdonell, the pair have been making music for over a decade, in recent years honing their insidious and deftly idiosyncratic take on techno for labels like blueprint, stroboscopic artefacts and r&s.

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.

continuing a very special and fruitful relationship, catz n dogzs always captivating pets recordings recruits close friend kink for his first ever release on the label.

music that keeps your body busy on the dance floor while it takes your mind to exotic places far away: timboletti creates a tense atmosphere between the stripped-down power of a kickdrum and the intricate network of sounds and melodies. during the titles murrakus and wüstenlauf your inner cinema will show mysterious scenes from an oriental bazaar, at the same time your body will have to deal with a pleasant feeling of restlessness. the frequency spectrum of makrovic is invaded by tripped-out samples, reminiscent of radio transmissions from some odd parallel dimension, resulting in a groove that is deep yet uplifting. barfussbravo sounds just as alien and is just as compelling, as delirious melodies and delay cascades unfold upon tight, driving rhythm sections. mollono.bass delivers a remix that is probably even deeper, a stardust phantasy flying high upon the solid foundation of a standing bass line. in contrast, carlos shifts down a gear and reflects on the multi-dimensional anatomy of barfussbravo during a smooth downbeat version.

known for his past releases on nation, l.i.e.s, and cititrax, chicagos beau wanzer delivers a 12 track lp of archival material culled from tapes stored away from years past, the tracks in question being plucked between 2002-2008. wanzer has stuck to his grotesque guns over the years, keeping his music personal, grating, and down right bizarre. each track takes a narrative of its own, from the languidly vocaled, yet uncannily catchy *mob boss* to the possessed murmurs of *love tone*, wanzer has created a completely unique collection of music which engages the listener all the way through.

some believe music developed as a way to bring early humans together into a close-knit community, and this collection of songs is a perfect example of that theory at work. beautiful vocals from lindsey flowers, an oklahoman ospovat met tokyo. killer sax blown in portland, oregon by noah bernstein, an exceptionally talented friend of ospovat s brother. a driving remix by pablo bolivar in barcelona, without whose generous advice this project would still be a work in progress. a mesmerizing remix by canadian label partner, fellow deadhead, and sound manipulator extraordinaire craig oldring (c_olvrin). and the words of david moufang, who speaks with conviction in *movin to the d* – *…music has a lot to do with communication … working with other people is really essential.* we couldnt agree more.
