if the black monolith tycho magnetic anomaly one from stanley kubricks classic 2001 felt like partying, he would be throwing his rocks in the air to the vibes from barnt, even without having arms or legs. it is probably because is this what they were born for? is not the first time the dj, producer and co-founder of magazine (barnt, not the monolith) orchestrates his profound knowledge of true cosmic sound design in the most convincing manner.

hi. this is dompteur mooner. my new record is coming out on my sublabel super tahoe edits, and it is called girls girls girls. just like my previous record, greatest hits, and music for espionage it s a concept album: this time, only girls bands were used as sampling material. because girls like to dance and girls love pop. and us boys, too. put it in the drawer new wave / dance orientated rock / proto-house. limited to 500 handmade copies. hope you like it.

yo! this is new music for kids on the block. breaking and shaking. coming in a too unlimited edition. so get your copy and join the club. all tracks done by known artists. it is more than name-dropping. this is dropping good music. no further introduction needed because everybody knows everything in these times. thanks for reading this. peace.

sex tags mania warehouse find! this might not be one of those popular ware house finds you run into these days, but still, from a storage of a friend of a friend this got dug out. almost brand new but never sold in any amount - a german-french(?) 12 as great as the summer. straight to the b, you know that track you hear, not on any given sunday, but only the exeptionally good ones, the track that sonically floats around, though maybe being to euphoric, still gathers everybody in the area to some sort of silent agreement of peace. usually these musical pieces are found as single items on flee markets if you re a proper digger or have straight out beginners luck. maybe the world has turned up side down, because this beauty has german lyrics (with an instrumental following).

gangsigns take their time – a relaxed attitude some might say – but thats only because they feel the music they release is timeless so theres really no rush is there?

with crazy erg the label welcomes a real specialist when it comes to techno, not only that he is on duty for quite a while now, but also because of the fact that ergin karabulut is known for his truth to techno with releases on numerous labels like harthouse, contruct rythm and so many others. his automatic is a sure shot on dancefloors with its driving sounds and kicking drumming. on the flip uks technobangers spektre deliver a darker and not less powerful interpretation of the original. another record to be found in playlists all over...

over the past few years we have seen a surge of artists, music and labels coming out of romania and, whilst not seen as a traditional hotbed of house music, this new wave of movers and shakers are working together to create their own lasting musical legacy. the latest in the busy line of producers is 22 year old bacau born, marcman. behind the decks at 14 and studying his art from 18 the young man with a love for angry kicks and heavy baselines has already graced the likes of quanticman, plant 74 and esperanza with his music. now hes set to join the bass culture family as he presents his debut release for the label the in trecere ep. >i was actually sent some marcman tracks about a year ago by franco cinelli< says bass culture label chief djulz. i instantly loved his beats and groove and i played them immediately on the circoloco terrace. i got in touch and asked him to work on an ep for bass culture. i specifically wanted it for this summer because his beats are exactly what i love to play in ibiza. marcmans 4 track >in trecere< ep sees him sandwiching the deep dubby sounds of rutina and the percussive guitar licked dansand, with the chicagoesque numbers levier and in trecere.

>each and every track is selected because its worked well in my own dj sets. it seems that with each instalment we just have more to bring you.< gregor tresher

mark henning is back! back on cityfox! a classic acapella and marks distinctive sound collide, result-ing in a huge tune, sounding old school and fresh at the same time. not just the vocals are telling a story here, the synths and bassline add their part to complete the track. the second original trojan is the secret weapon and club bomb, the dark side of the release, because too much sunshine is never healthy. afrilounge take it a step deeper and its big string melody sounds as clean as and sparkles like the sunrise itself. the 1998 edit incorperates the rhythms and vibes of classic house and techno from the era when it all began. thick, groovy basslines and pulsing pads laid out over infectious percussion make this track an instant classic.

it has been out of stock for quit some time now, even though it is considered a classic album within the viking/pagan metal genre. so we decided to re-release this classic album full of mighty pagan hymns! this release differs from the original, because we added all lyrics and we re-mastered the sound. for all of those who do not have this album a nice opportunity to buy the roughest and first album of thyrfing and to enjoy songs such as >raven eyes<, >set sail to plunder< or the classic >going berserk<. the album contains ten bombastic yet catchy viking metal tunes that are filled with nice keyboard melodies, berserker vocals and pounding guitar riffs.

this single-side vinyl, pressed in 100 cps limited edition, is the happy ending of one of the most played tracks from our friends djs and strictly grooves followers. >sweet pussy pauline< is a classic, an hit that increases over the time, in months of gigs between berlin and reggio emilia, london and garda lake. our job is to make good music and share it with those who appreciate it, but this time we have done much more, because sweet pussy pauline has become a true piece of art in the hands of tatiana festi, who designed directly on record, label to label, 100 unique pieces. tatiana is a very renowed artist, becoming bigger and bigger thanks to her brilliant style, its creatures, its sensual girls, with languid eyes and provoking mouths. and though in acid colors, bright and pop, painted with a meticulous technique and surprising signs of felt pen, all have something of the femme fatale and at the same time, victims of love.

vinyl only release !!! >> come on, be honest. you also have been waiting for this. for more than seven years now, the 27-year-old frankfurter chris tietjen stands, like hardly any other dj, with his cocoon mix compilations for the sound of this label. apart from sven väth, maybe.. so, it was really time for tietjen to carve his music-aesthetical biases finally into vinyl, because for the value-oriented and highly dedicated dj, its a matter of honour to release his tracks in the traditional ep format only.

great album featuring some hot electronix! hailing from spain this is the first release on this d.i.y. label! intense uncompromising tracks of which the a side is rooted in classic detroit techno and electro. the b-side takes the listeners into orbit with some amazing spaced outed tracks. a pleasure to welcome this new label that delivers a first run of only 200 numbered copies on heavyweight vinyl! lets hope they will manage to do a repress at some point because this is too goo do share with only 200 people!

almost two years have gone by since the team at injected poison records launched its previous vinyl record. now, the label headed by the spanish artist jose pouj brings us its fifth release. this issue will be jam-packed with the best and most up-to-date techno, because they have enlisted the most outstanding spanish producers: oscar mulero, christian wunsch, exium and the labels boss himself: jose pouj.

2 highly respected producers/djs. why have you not heard of them? because they are using stealth alias names to allow them to put out this exclusive white label series. but trust me, you know who they are! this is the second in the rogue edit series, another white for the collection.

vladislav delays ep >espoo< features two new conceptual, rhythm-intense tracks. whereas the groove of the opener >olari< derives from a sound loop which is manipulated by filters and echoes and finally brings forth the intensifying beat, the reverse is done with >kolari< on the b-side. starting from an impulsive, staccato beat, a sound carpet is woven by means of modifiers which gradually shape a permanent vacation-like melody, close to terry rileys minimalistic concepts. both tracks share a linear increase in density, and because of their break with the common four-four time, they create a certain folkloric atmosphere. like with >vantaa<, the experienced music producer vladislav delay continues his search for dance-floor compatible, yet unique and fresh music.

this is a limited addition of special vinyl released by russian label kolokol. release doesnt need any special presentation, because it contains a number of great remixes babak shayan, paduraru, jussi pekka, nikola gala.

coloured vinyl bomb alert! hrdvsions prettier than that is a monster,created by a monster and is perfectly suited for the likes of wagon repair. dim the lights, because when this record drops its going to get freaky! on the flip side, midnight operator (the duo of mathew jonson and hrdvsion) bring the noise! dangerous behaviour rains bass in your face! if you caught their live show on boiler room recently then youll understand. these two are ready to take the dance floors by storm this year - a melding of the analog and digital minds.

on her first ep, a.n.i.c.e. composed a track which is deep and full of emotions. >wait for me< is the official wake-up call for all the daydreamers and dally fairies. its marvelous vocals capture the listeners attention. dj le rois remix is more the four to the floor part of this ep. because of the driving bassline not even the last foot will stand still. >the dawn< is boosted by percussion elements and vocals that can only be sung by fairies underline this emotional track.
support by mathias kaden, daniel stefanik, brothers vibe, matthew dear, salvatore freda, tim green, david durango, ...

ltd 2012 repress!! our favourite texas killer funk people go digging in their disco boxes to supply us with a new batch of edits and tracks on a value for money 12inch format.the yanks snip and tuck some of their favourite tracks from the 70s & 80s editing as they go extending, repeating and underlining their favourite elements of each track chosen. tried and trusted on the dance floors of baltimore to boston these cheeky slabs of wax will not be around for long so gettem while yo can!

in the beginning god created the bass drum. he made it beat 8.601 days. then he left it away. god said: death is the greatest work of art. and its expensive. finally infinite. thats politics and science and art. the art of omission. the art of refusal. death is absolute. the bass drum is absolute. do you want the absolute bass drum? if you manage to convince him, god will be happy to lend you his axe, because what happens is what he wants. just like the people. they want it to happen, too. the most expensive work of art in the world is a skull encrusted with 8.601 diamonds.

with >real face<, we are already giving you the second release of rico henschel aka sweet n candy on our deep circus label. the berlin resident by choice presents his newest work with the title song >real face< and >movement< - two deep, groovy summer tracks, completed with spherical elements that make this sound perfect for the upcoming open air season.
the french producer fred siera adds a remix of >real face<, which is a real bomb! the clearly defined bass sounds will have a mighty push on any dancefloor, still the remix feels really smooth because of the rest of the arrangement, making this track overall even more enjoyable. let the summer begin!

the winter is cold but the sun warms the days. keymono-music has built a new release for the spring. with the start of the season felix bernhardt serves us a technoid temperatured cocktail against tiredness of spring. ice-cold and minimal is side a going on to the point. stylistically essentialised reduced, even with stomping and rolling bass, >the driving machine< and >ratter chatter< are shaking the last icicle out of us. because of the houseline rekardo rivalos remix on side b you can feel the change of the temperature and you can see eventually the rise of this years summer already on the horizon... supported and played by: richie hawtin, slam, claude vonstroke, paco osuna, rene bourgeois, kiko martinez, boenig & ochs and many more..

makam – what ya doing: the hague based producer makam definitely didnt see jack play, simply because hes waaaay to young to be bragging about the history of house music. nevertheless mister guy blanken delivers a stunning anthem in the best of warehouse and music box traditions. keep those 909 rim shots coming please, but make way for the irresistible breakdown. makam – what ya doing (funkineven) more 909 sweetness comes from london based steven julien aka eglo-related vintage fetishist funkineven. while treating the original with respect, he adds some analogue acid dirt to it. in an everything but subtle way, that is. peak time stuff!

36 hours in. the lights are flickering and the sweat is pouring out of you like the thoughts that you re trying to write down, to get down the words, to put down the message, to translate all the ideas that keep appearing in your head. ideas like uninvited guests that keep showing up and refusing to leave. somewhere though, there s a truth in there. you know it because you saw it. you know it because you felt it. because when you knew that even though there were ten million reasons why you should go to bed now, why you should go to bed straight away. that you should put these silly things down and stop trying to create and just get some sleep already. that you should stop trying to wrestle the ideas in your subconscious down to the ground so you can actually capture and express them to others. but you persist.

sirko mueller, one half of the tokomak label headquarter, is back on mojuba sublabel wandering for some new adventures! after his last ep called reexplored and quite some releases for pure plastic sublabel rewired, styrax and milnor modern he delivers us four new tracks from his vault, showcasing his love for deep techno on the a-side and heavy reggae – dub influenced jams on the b-side. watch for more to come from mr. mueller, because he has just started!

italojohnsons first release in 2012 breaks the standards of the classic 12 inch model with two tracks representing a double a-side on a 10-inch vinyl. this is the first release that is branded with the italiojohnson logo so grab it while its hot because stickered copies are limited to 500 vinyl.the stamped side blows you away with a solid bassline powerful enough to light your ass on fire. unique fx-sounds, an explicit arrangement and sharp drumming pull the track together.the flip side provides you with proper house music as the vigorous, repetitive vocal-stabs, a hells bells bass and the fearless 707 drums flow into italojohnsons trademark sound.any questions?

so, who is this mysterious afefe iku? after absolutely destroying the dancefloors all year long with his infamous bootleg of radioheads >everything in its right place<, which he smartly put out in extremely limited amounts of vinyl around the same time his mentor, osunlade, featured his cover of that very same song on bbes >exit music: songs with radio heads<. in all honesty afefe remains a mystery even to us. so, let us start by saying who afefe isnt. unfortunately, for those who thought he was osunlade, you are mistaken, but dont feel ashamed, because afefe creates at osunlades studio in santorini, which makes sense to pinpoint him as osunlade.

the detroit threads team is at the center of a community of vinyl enthusiasts that take pride in their individual approach to sound. this community struggles to keep their vision alive though the warmth of the medium that holds a special place in the heart, vinyl. as the electronic sound evolves new faces and styles emerge to challenge the establishment. detroit threads hears those voices and works to give them a platform. hou531 and .kite were chosen to represent detrot threads, because they are the yin and yang of the detroit dubstep movement. hou531 has a rambunchous method of creating grinding dubstep that is a release from a lifetime of detroit pressure. where as, .kite uses ethereal synth ambience sprinkled lightly with drum and bass to create an environment that is both sad and beautiful. these artists are under the radar, but by no means are they irrelevant.

groover platz finally comes out with his second release on vinyl, with artist andrea belluzzi. release inspired by the city that is a symbol in europe for the electronic music: berlin. the release is a bomb consisting of 3 tracks done to rock the dance floor and be played in every moment of the evening, in fact: >following the way< is straight, strong, made to stand in the center of attention ... 9 minutes of pure evilness. >chord force< is different, in fact, unlike the first song >chord force< follows a more melodic idea but still hard and decided. >rising with the sun< is the bastard daughter (in a good way), because is more close/dark with a good march, groove and a melody made to fly with your mind. definitly a track to close the night and leave behind what has been…

dj w!ld and robsoul – the perfect match. phil weeks recently spoke in an interview about how there are certain producers he always trusts and gives complete freedom to when he asks them to record an ep for robsoul - dj w!ld was one of those he named. on w!ldsytle we get four cuts that again showcase the french producers trademark style of tracks which build and build, creating dancefloor intensity through their relentless hypnotic grooves, before breaking into expertly chosen sampled breakdowns. with recent outings on harry klein, jonk and luna records alongside his own catwash and his more recently launched the w label, dj w!ld is in serious demand right now. a stalwart of the tech and deep house scene, his career path began in the clubs of paris in 1996. working with chris carrier from 2005 under the name of catwash (which also spawned the label) he became well known in the french house and techno scene and by 2009 was touring the world, including being offered the residency he retains for circo loco at dc10. the w label launched in 2011 and was home to w!lds critically acclaimed >palace< album and the club destroying singles it contained. may will see the launch of a new dj w!ld album, d!rty, on the impeccable cabin fever imprint run by matt edwards (radio slave)

following the huge success of his recent close single - which thanks to a nick grimshaw single of the week, support from annie mac and skream & benga, and even a play on the chris moyles show, threw the 21 year olds bedroom productions to the front everybodys collective consciousness - hackman returns with his follow up, and first single from his upcoming album agree to disagree. * the agree to disagree 12inch is housed in a die cut sleeve with spot uv varnish in insanely limited quantaties. act quickly because it wont get repressed. ever

dapayk solo knocks everybody out with his whole new style!
you think that sentence was a cheap shot? well, listen to those tracks, because they are not!

our second vinyl release 2012 introduces a new series, the bias jams, on ilian tape. we start off with a compilation of 4 tracks from japan, serbia, argentina and italy. after some internal investigations we found out that imugem orihasam is not only a japanese shaolin, but also a yoga guru. his bias cut sounds like an instruction for a deep meditation in a forest. we chose a forest, because forests need to be saved. too many black puffs of vapour are killing them at the moment. our late riser regen probably didnt had that a mind, but we declare him to be an environmental activist from now on. now how should we include paper tape in this story … had a look online and found the term perforated paper tape. pretty interesting stuff, it was one of the first methods for data storage. ok are you guys joking? orbital? there is no way to write a good story with those track names. >an atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom<. yeah right! well in fact its enough to know that the bias jams series will feature some heavy bomboclaat bias cuts from various artists! cheers

we have decided to publish these tracks as our first release because they took inspiration from the two words label name: eleusína and recreations. thinking about that ancient mysteries and hoping they could survive till nowadays and in the future as a aid of our poor life helped us a lot in composing these tracks.
the two track ep was compost almost interely by machines with a little computer aid. cause we are only humans and conditioned by our fears and weaknesses, we have decided to make them almost mono tracks to maximize the transfer achievement to vinyl. have we took the wrong way? we do not know, but we keep some time to reflect about that and find the best balance between stereo and mono that fits our soul.
here we are, is not time for words right now, let the sounds speak.

it has been half a year since we released the last max cooper ep on traum, so his new finished ep comes in handy for all of his fans and people interested in the grey zone of techno vs. electronica. max coopers new release the >egomodal ep< comes as a 4 tracks ep and adds up to a great piece of music. once again it focuses on dynamics and tangents, along with the concept of complexity and simplicity. the >egomodal ep< stays true to max coopers approach to link a mathematical structure with a simple one. we are happy to say he has succeeded to fuse complexity with variations by still finding time to focus on details and keeping up that nice randomness which makes his music so appealing also for clubbers and djs.
this release is extremely diverse in styles and offers in its vinyl version everything from the dark detroit electro styled techno piece >epitaphy< that evokes old detroit days… to the melodically trembling >autumn haze< that is a huge track because its flow is superbly programmed ... to rippertons mighty house hymn of a remix, ending in the basseline monster >raw< which looses its teeth towards the end.

if you have been following graeme clark in his solo disguise as the revenge or the stream of 6th borough project 12-inches leading up to this one, you should know what to expect here—deep, blissfully hypnotic sampledelia with track flows governed by the laws of extreme repetition. its a shame that trance means a particular subgenre of electronic music, because that term applies just as much to the effects of these tracks as anything tiësto has ever played.
given the space, clark and craig smith are able to utilize this formula over a broad musical spectrum, creating music in the full-fledged sense, one that traces a landscape of tempos, styles and emotions and a menagerie of resurrected sounds conjures up images of dusty record shops and tattered vinyl, musical spirits captured on wax. awesome!

whilst some people claim that the number seven is lucky, some people, like duff, dont believe in luck, or if there is such a thing as luck you make your own. you cant rely on anyone else to hold your hand you know, you gotsta forge your own path, they arent called the mean streets for nothing. duff is the sort of man who not only makes his own luck (cos who else is gonna look after you?) but he keeps an eye on his bredren too. those in the neighbourhood feel safe because all is good in duffs hood, always has been, always will be, the police dont even come there, because they don’t have to, that block is on lock-down brother. though he isnt some type of machismo, over-the-top (hat back go-on sly) caricature, its just the way it is, nuthin to argue about. he has a way about him, the glare of a pitbull and the smile of don juan, dusty is his girl yep thats her real name, the name her mamma gave her on the day she was introduced to this world. the girl is fine thats for sure but what else would you expect from the honey that rides shotgun with the sonic casanova. she might call herself lucky. duff would disagree.

following linkwoods ep would never be an easy task, but vakula has an equally impressive ace up his sleeve! three more cuts dusted, dubbed and pushed to the limits of abstraction yet still in the realms of house and techno. act fast, because as usual there will be no re-press. 180g clear vinyl, strictly ltd, no re-press, hand stamped

in the last couple of months the names taiki & nulight should have come across your paths. these 2 artists have been gaining respect from the likes of skream, benga, n-type, mistajam (and many more) and are set to blow up any time now. and because subway likes their beats fresh and new they are kicking off with these boys their very first release entitled the coming up ep. coming up is a 100 procent to the floor slammer wich sees the dubstep sound merging into more clubby territories. the 4x4 beat and soca influences make this track a unique piece of work that not alot of people can resist. get on this and get those ladies shaking their rear ends because once they start a skanking the men will follow. pure takes it back to the dubstep vibe we all know and love. a hefty skanker that will deplete any raver from any energy it has left. tearout basslines and insane switches make this one track that will destroy any dance! impulse is one of t&ns early productions but is not a letter track for that matter.its a mean destructive stomper that shows why these guys have been picked so early on by the subway label. it pounds,it shakes, it rattles & it wobbles. a deadly combination!watch out for more t&n releases coming up really soon on subway and labels like benga beats, sin city to name a few! play support comes from: skream, benga, n-type, walsh, mistajam, antiserum, unitz, dream, laxx, megalodon & tonnes of others!

it is one of our traditions to release remixes of our favourite artists and so we are happy to feature top remix artists for this minilogue remix release on traum.
the >drop the mask of self protection< remix of dominik eulberg is a bit of an adventure! unlike his >diorama< album and maybe because of its elaborate musical challenge, he has taken a time-out to create a serious club format in the true eulberg style witnessed on trapez in the past. so what does that really mean for this track? well this remix kicks off a bit of an relaxed percussive and deep house groove and undergoes in its course quite an explosive transformation! with a lot of skill and finesse mr eulberg pulls the strings with accuracy and makes the transfer of what unfolds to be a heavy big pounding techno rocker! thumbs up this is superb and eulberg at his best.

after the last crazy studio session, matt k created a brandnew remix from the legendary release from carsten fietz s rappelkiste. matt k s new remix is based on a crazy percussive baseline with some tribal elements. on the flipside we release the original mix from 1998 again, because it was a long time out of print !

after the first release result 001 from alex flatner / hermanez with remxes by christian burkhardt and leon the second release result002 is produced by olene kadar including a big markus fix remix oldeholtwolte – olene – kadar - these three exotic terms describe an extraordinary musician. olene kadar, who is also known as henk van zwol from oldeholtwolde, is an intriguing personality with a remarkable sense for music and hairstyle. in 2007 the young dutchman supplied the nightlife with a series of rocking live-sets in places like the sugar factory and studio 80 in amsterdam. he surprised many a friend and competitor and he has accomplished the fact of you reading his biography. thanks. anotable remark is that this outstanding man has shaped a huge passion for music and creativity. because of his a-typical way of performing he is seen as the most promising liveact of this moment. after an unequalled performance at studio 80 daniel mumbling sanchez already called him the dutch alphex twin coaxingly however, because this is not how henk sees himself. the next critic of his performance at the mos ferry party at the distillery in leipzig, had a more catchy description: chaotic, unconventional , freaky , flachen und minimale beats, verzerrungen, zahlreiche breaks, sublimierter wahnsinn!
