cool but warm – is that possible? at least in respect of music. because its exactly these attributes that apply to what carsten rausch presents on the latest acker release

the eraly years of a decade are good times for exploration, just like in 1993 when we (alex & sasa) first started working together. we rented a huge loft space on ave b & 2nd st. in the east village in manhattan. the winter was tough, we had 16 snow storms and due to a landlord who hated everybody, we had our heating turned off except for a few hours in the morning, sometimes not even that... the only way to stay warm was to wear hats, gloves and scarves the whole winter... but that was fine because nightlife was a lot of fun. there was a good club/party every night. right below where we lived was one of the best after hour clubs called >save the robots<. but one of my favourite parties was >sugar babes< which was at the cbgbs gallery space right next door to cbgbs, every monday night. the dj used to sample parts of the records he was mixing and then just play the loop of the sample and alongside was a drummer playing to it. it was really inspiring. so we wanted to go back to this idea of sound assembly and create a new series for us to work with called >skematics< its like a diagram or manual to help understand the interconnections between the odd parts we find and assemble, an imaginary manual for a new decade that has not been musically defined yet

the classic music company by luke solomon & derrick carter continue to play the game under their own conditions. as a label it never died it just retreated for a while in order to come back stronger. all hail the king because the king is back. long live classic!

as the summer comes to a close, italojohnson releases its fourth release thereby urging party people to get in the dancing swing once again. on the long recorded side, you will find a progressive house track that can be hardly surpassed in any type in its directness. an unfussy arrangement, a straight oppressive subject and a low flying breakdown compose the a-stamped side. the sincerity of the first track of the flipside doesnt come short of any expectations. the concrete in-your-face-drumming, piano lessons and stabbing strings combined with the italojohnson charm becomes the (double a) aa-side. why? because italojohnson doesnt do b-sides. finally, the aa-2 track emotionally rounds up the release with italojohnsons trademark-sound in which all the brothers and sisters are invited to explore. make love!

carefully caressing your back whilst whispering sweet nothings into your ear, pillowtalk join the life and death family with their modern dance soul hybrid, >the come back ep<. despite the name, its actually a debut ep -- and one that quickly establishes pillowtalks unique sound as an important voice in the new generation of contemporary dance music. already getting serious play (and props) from a wide range of djs, from the deep & soulful wolf + lamb and soul clap crews all the way to the banging bass centric justin martin, >the come back< finds life and death once again crossing the conventional genre descriptions with a true dancefloor bomb that everyone can get behind. imagine motown and classic doo-wop blended with a modern dance sensibility and you may start to get an idea of the pillowtalk sound. but its better to stop imagining and just have a listen because what these guys are doing is so genuinely unique, its not an easy one to pigeonhole with words and genre titles alone. the ep includes >the come back<, >soft< and >long lost friends< as well as a life and death remix of >soft<. put together in the life and death laboratories it brings a darker, deeper take on this beautiful and already incredibly sentimental dancefloor serenade.

infecta is the record label from delta bookings in spain. the bookingsagency is looking after the famous spanish artists: dj pepo (inspired recs)joton (newrhythmic), cesar almena (code, fabrik), dj link (amigos recs), inaki villasante (disclosure), event 7 (infecta recs), jose pouj (injected, warm up) and dj lizana (inspired, naked lunch). because off all these artists and connections its no wonder labelowner uge can choose from many tracks for his imprint. for the 5th release he got hold of the finest techno stompers from: ben sims, event 7, dj pepo and de oliveira!

our favorite guys from athens return to we are after some time, and with some super tight beats as well! fact of the matter is, that we for this one occasion chose to go with a full 12 inch instead of our standard club tracks 12 inch format simply because we needed all these three tracks to fit – good job! already passed the floor-test at many clubs and people are really feeling this superglued tightly produced rhythms mixed with old school disco house, they are held back and sneaky, and at the same time accesible and open to groove – just the way we like it!

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

conforce goes deeper into delsin terrain... a very cool four tracker! preceding the release of his next full length album, dutchman conforce has selected four tracks to release as the dystopian elements ep. but dont let the title fool you because, as is often the case with boris bunnik, there is a warm analogue/digital harmony to his sounds which is more than worthy of its place on delsin

deep space orchestra having been forging a nice niche in a modern take on house music, blending, disco, detroit and chicago influences , and here at tracky bottoms, we cottoned on to one of there deepest tracks to date mass illusion about a year ago now ! its taken a while to come to fruition , but the stolen future ep is here . mass illusion it self is probably the track gaining most interest , probably because it has achieved the difficult task of being very deep but also quite anthemic , also featuring on the ep - stolen future harks back to early carl craig vibes , with a ruff ass beat driving the synthy techno , theres a remix of this from label boss toby tobias who takes it in a more loopy chicago vibe and last track witch doctor has ethnic hypnotic quality about it , but with some added dynamics by toby who edits it for maximum dancefloor reaction

a side >under< from evol intent featuring vocals from singer/song writer jackie b. this dubstep track is dark, sexy, melodic, and poppy, with a bass riff and drums that encourages you to urgently to hit the dance floor, and shake your ass. the vocals are sexy and consistent. she reminds me of esthero in how she can make underground production sound so polished. yet she can take you places emotionally because she makes intelligent choices her vocal tonality. the production is dark, and sounds like a eerie episode of a twin peaks score. you will be hearing lots more music from her really soon. she is also a great producer as well. (remember where you heard it first.) look out for more from evol intent, and jackie b in the near future.

neurotraxx deluxe, the label run by deep house buzz name aki bergen, releases a hot new track from uk super dj filthy rich. as a talented producer/dj filthy richs innovative sound has made him undeniably one of the countrys finest djs today. a promising figure looming out from the crowd, rich is the complete package. effortlessly leaving his contemporaries behind, he leaps and bounds into a league of his own laughing to himself as he does it. this is because rich knows the secret to getting this far – is playing music that he loves, for people to dance to. this new single is more on the deeper side of electronic music but still built to do damage on the dance floor. with mixes from dzeta & basile (who have had tracks & remixes on 1trax, lower east and loco records) and paolo mojo (noir music, cr2, greatstuff, oosh) this is a seriously hard hitting package. with support coming from all the usual a-list and international djs (full list of dj support being released soon) this, as we have come to expect from neurotraxx and filthy rich alike, is going to be an essential record for many djs.

played and supported by chris liebing, luke slater, speedy j, tommy four seven, audio injection, drumcell, dvs1, norman nodge, technasia, shifted, bcr boys, samuel l session and more.
we meet a new project, cool, and damn techno. design concept and sounds that rather than being projected towards europe, appear to come from europe, more precisely from somewhere dark and cold in the north of the continent. but no! the minds that conceived the project are all italian and lie along a line connecting cities like palermo and naples, at least for the moment. because as you might expect from the country s brain drain ... the releases, starting with the first (which will appear in the catalog as 000), will be all vinyl.

so sound recordings latest acquisition to its roster is a trio from hannover, germany and they are called les loups. ladies and gentlemens if you thought that >french house<was a cool style of music back from the late 90s and early 2000s, think again, because felix littkemann (18), antonio dominguez (19) & philipp landmann (20), are ready to start a disco revolution. being influenced by jazz, indie rock, french house, hip hop the three got together and started to produce french house based on disco samples from the late 70s and early 80s, creating their own trademark sound which is so fresh!

ok … the sad truth is we have been searching for this dat close to 6 years since rabbit in the moons david christophere and san diego native sotero finished the project. both mixes were done around winter 95 / 96. despite excitement around the label at the time, eventually the tracks fell to the wayside under the age-old excuse of >figuring out what to do with them<. meanwhile, knowing a good thing when he heard it, three made a dat copy and cut some actetates to play out. they made their way around a good portion of the earth via himself, some friends and one west coast dj who boldly vowed to just put it out on his own --- off the slate --- if we didnt get our act together. fortunately he didnt, but neither did we because both david and three misplaced the dat copies and sotero never had one!

we met fred ventura in 2006 over emails sent to italians do it better headquarters. he was one of the first people from europe to start writing the label prior to after darks release. it took us a few months to realize that this was fred ventura, the cult italo legend from milan. like a true gentleman, he had never bothered to mention it. since the early 1980s fred ventura has released numerous singles in europe & toured the world extensively as a solo artist. last year, johnny was in bologna on tour with desire & fred came out to the show to drink champagne & bring us some copies of the reissued tapes of fred’s early post punk group state of art. the lightbulb lit up & we asked him if he had any home recordings of his solo work. months later, he sent us 83 tracks of cassette recordings between 1982 & 1987. they had been sitting upstairs in a dusty box at his parents house in italy for the last 25 years. these tracks have only been heard by a handful of his closest friends. we were completely floored & honored! finding a beautiful treasure completely untouched & preserved is so rare. the songs are raw & honest written by a romantic with a love for an anthemic chorus & a drum machine running through his veins. think early minimal depeche mode with an italian heart. ornew order covering madonna produced moroder. yes, its that good. here we have the first official italians do it better release of these songs on a 4 song 12inch ep. this vinyl only release is a teaser for the >dont give up< 18 track lp out in a couple of months. so in the meantime, slip on those gucci loafers, rev up the alfa romeo and head down to the discotheque because life is too short

wippenberg returns on his own new imprint, get wipped! records. if you are hoping to hear another pong or chakalaka, reset your mind, because this is something fresh! this double a-sided 12 inch >phoenix< and >u r< will set floors on fire!

onwards and upwards for the section8 clan as they get ready to deliver possibly their biggest release to date with a mighty, thunderous dubstep assault from one of bristols brightest up & coming production duos, dodge & fuski. having built up quite a reputation already with some killer releases on labels such as never say die and rat, this one looks set to earn them even more attention, get ready for the sound system bangers! ethereal pads open up aerophobia before an epic, grandiose synth enters the mix to set the scene for whats to come and youd better be ready because its quite simply, sick! watch the dance go crazy as we kick into an absolutley heinous bass riff that grabs by the throat and doesnt let go with a smashing break holding it all together. it only goes on to get even better with a totally funked up 4/4 switch up too! more bassline manipulation ensues and the dubstep break returns to complete whats sure to be a massive club anthem. a lot of fun. onto the flip and the tranced-out intro vibe continues with another awe-inpsiring arrangement of twinkling synths and fx on fuckem all. though the ravers are gonna love it and thats really what this is all about. bangin!

this is a special release to us at days of being wild, firstly because it s the return of catalepsia and he s in a mighty form, secondly because we felt very privileged to have artists of the calibre of sean and don getting involved and lastly the quality of the remixes they delivered left us speechless! so dope menace is an energetic dance floor stomper, centred around a very heavy beat and is indeed quite a menacing affair. built around a hellish, relentless string riff, the track is a dramatic, cinematic, dark mid tempo house number that could induces as much fancy foot work as it would head banging. jerome bazzanella, the man behind catalepsia has been releasing techno / house records for the last 3 years on various labels and compilations (synewave, remute, métis recoordings...) he likes to keep the tempo roughly between 110/120 bpm, favouring a heavy, efficient sound, with subtle sound effects and movements, in the tradition of the records from chicago and detroit.

you cannot neglect those vocals, because they will pick you up to an unknown journey. you wont forget this preview of new age melodies and sounds. oceans bottom is dreamy and diverse made by flute-sounds and tricky percussion elements. this song is daring you gently, makes your body swinging and your soul so moony. einmusik is bringing up the old things into the future. just get in touch with his strong, bunched and adust sounds. they will open your mind for an epic album. backside you will find biosphere, a classic and solid house anthem which makes everything so easy. but heads up! – this is not only an accessory part – it is the opener for the summer season.

the housing project is a well rounded sister label to concentrate closely on more recognisably house productions. the reason for this is because at wr hq house music is in our dna and as natural as air.
dj support from jacques greene, dark sky, julio bashmore, alex deamonds, xxxy, hot city, doc daneeka, deadboy, hackman, submerse, martyn, geiom, ramadanman, jamie grind, ..

a little quiet so far this year but now one of the new power generation drum & bass production crews are back with an absolutely sick two part ep that is anything but quiet. michael willer and robert stefan aka body & soul have been busy, very busy creating what is undoubtedly their most explosive release to date on their own nasca records. get ready for a great big bag of awesome!
part 1 lets rip with the title track >shipwrecked<, with an ominous intro it sets the scene perfectly for whats to come with an outrageously horrid bass that snarls and pulls at its lead, snapping at anything that comes close. you d better start running though because when that lead breaks its gonna get you! add a nasty vox and the package is complete. demolition drum and bass that’s ready to take out the whole club!

this label has been flying out the warehouse and this is because wicky lindows have been putting out quality dubstep. on this one yohanne simons teams up with nyree to make this stomper. buy this release now as it will sell out quick, get me!

i just woke and its pretty cold outside. i havent opened the window yet, but i somehow know it and im listening to these six tracks again and try to make an approximation of why and how i have done this ep. they are pretty different from each other but tell the same story or at least are part of the same one as a matter of fact. maybe they were done as an excuse for my overdue album which is scheduled again for this year or maybe just because i was going through some odd times and needed to immerse myself in doing something. in this case music. more the latter i guess. ok so, the opening track is in a way the end of an era and the last one the opening of a fresher one. and the rest fills in the gaps in between those two moments i guess. i hate conceptual things anyways. i never know or want to know why i do certain things. concepts define something before it already begins its existence and trying to explain why is pretty useless. so here it is. the recording of a certain period of time in my tiny existence. with collaborations with jaw (dop), my brother atilla, who is also responsible for the artwork, and jonny cruz. by the time its out itll be a distant memory for me but hope it lasts a bit longer for anyone that listens to it

the miracles club is a group from portland, oregon featuring members rafael fauria, honey owens and ryan boyle. fusing elements classic chicago acid house, world music, experimental pop and contemporary dance. they have been adding a new and vibrant energy to the west coast us club scene over the last 12 months. cutters records brings us the >light of love remixes< ep which has all the makings of a mid 80s house party except on the dance floor is a giant cosmic rug to float you through space and time. >light of love< is the psychedelic piano house jam from the deepest depths of a dank dark rave cave and cut copy have reworked it into an entrancing dancefloor gem. also included is a dubbed out house mix by new yorks ever-consistent neurotic drum band. and dont sleep, because on the flip miracles club journey into classic 909 house with two versions of their jam >so hot<. it feels like the second coming of jack, but believe… its the rise of a new dawn!

up next on balans is a brazilian old school house & techno talent extraordinaire. he operates under the monniker betek and has only one release on black stripe under his belt so far. this is about to change, because he will be a regular on the imprint from now on.
hailing from beautiful rio de janeiro, you might not expect an artist who is dedicated to old school roland drumcomputers and bassline machines. betek clearly has a big love for the edm past, but takes it well into the new millennium with a fresh angle.
you can expect more of betek this year!

reissue of the divinity ep by walt j, originally released on dow records in 1997. this is the first release on the walt j series on fit. and we are happy to see this because somehow walt j always stayed a bit under the radar, even tho he released some great raw detroit techno tracks.

after his successful first vinyl release as echtzeit on melted recordings (mtd.001), with very positive feedback by many djs, the producer frank rumpelt tried a different view on the theme (echtzeit now as title) in various styles of techno. 3 tracks - a bit more electro with harmonics - are listening music and dance floor compatible, too. plus 3 locked grooves we have 6 tracks on this vinyl. this record comes in a premium outer and inner sleeve cover. its a re-release from 2002 because so many demand this time!

it really is an unbelievable honour for us that we may release this fantastic track by von spar, a track that might as well be found on their outstanding album >foreigner< from 2010. maybe it is because we are such a big label and this crude, elegiac, and emotionally mighty sound of these guys fits just perfect for us. and whoever would like get out of this tunnel of infinite deepness should rely on the remix ada comes up with. trust is good-but no doubt, control is better.

because we still love real stuff, this ep will be released on vinyl as well on a limited quantity. championned by artists such as sebastien leger of popof, max bett delivers a very soulful techno/tech-house music that aims straight to the clubs!

just a few minutes till impact. final approach, three, two, one… stephan bodzin and marc romboy aint no astronauts. they are first and foremost musicians, producers and long time friends. both would admit that arguing and talking music is as important as making it. together with their own long running imprints, systematic recordings and herzblut recordings, they have proven how to build up a distinct label sound. however, similar to some well-known astronauts, the word >luna< has a very special meaning to the musicians because its the name of marcs daughter and coincedently that of stephans wife as well. therefore it had been the obvious choice when they were looking for a fitting title name back in 2005. six years on, and the project nears its final touchdown and is honored with a an outstanding vinyl-set of six records!!! 16 different producers from all over the world take you to a musical orbit, starting in germany with moritz von oswald (basic channel, rhythm & sound), dominik eulberg, chris liebing, oliver huntemann, martin buttrich (desolat), roman flügel (dial) und robag wruhme (pampa records), continuing with speedy j (plus 8) from the netherlands, minilogue from sweden and even abe duque and brendon moeller from new york from the u.s.a.. an electronic transmission from the moon to the earth takes a little more than one second to cover the distance. but when listening to >luna<, you wont dare to think in minutes or seconds ignition sequence start, trois, deux, unité!

supported by reboot, secret cnema, julian chaptal, shlomi aber, nick warren! nick daring, take note of the name, because the young italian is set for great things. after early releases on rawthentic and greelpound, its time for us to introduce him to a wider audience, with his debut release for kiara. as with many of todays young producers, nicks youth has been filled with music. the vast variety of which has helped in his own eclectic style, both behind the decks and in his own productions. teaming up with kiara was an obvious, evolutionary step, and today he presents his decomposition of the past ep. his three original tracks le mabadi, paint of desh and wyeth, all perfectly showcase nicks ability to create simple, hypnotic rhythms, wrapped in layers of raw funk. kiara favourite leix steps up to remix wyeth. harnessing the impetuous groove of the original, leix injects his own percussive nous and creates a beautifully warm rework. another producer whos never short of a healthy dose of hip swinging serum is dutchman, david lebeij. he gets to grips with paint on desh and presents a classic bass-driven house remix

limited to 400 copies!! second release on the hot new rebellion label. after siss monstrous >gallian< release solomun delivers another knock out blow in the sonics with a heavy weight slab of electric moon groove. pan-rattling percussion and a bass funkier than a trunk of funk underpins the stupendously catchy and incessant vocal licks, and then theres the guitar.. oh my god, does it get any better than this? on the flip parisian funkateer d julz hikes the tempo and kicks the groove headway into the bass bins as its heads down for some serious dancefloor action. a great second package on this rebellious new label! please note this is a limited release, so get these hot puppies whilst you can, because when they are gone, they are gone

new label that was was recommended to us by hotflush label owner paul rose who knew recondite from a local berlin hangout. we immediatly liked it because this is clearly done for the love of the music. pressed in a ultra limited 200 copies run (of which a first batch have been given away already to friends of the label owner) we managed to get the remaining copies for you. four tracks of deep techno that is a collection of snapshots of recondites daily live. somehow melancholic, adventurous and lush tracks that also can be found in the productions of labels such as dial. dont sleep on this one!!

first on decks.de !! u cant deny that holgi star und pierre deutschmann are some true techno oldschool rockers of the electronic scene. both of them with a lot of producing experience on their back have now decided to a have a couple get togehters on releases! and it truly works! they also live by one saying: >just because u hit a certain age it doesnt mean u are not on top of the game!< no wonder why. week for week they are playing around the globe and bring their fresh, modern, melodic drivefull technosound to the partycrowd. and with stylerockets they have chosen the right place to be! incl. remixes by dominik vaillant and joseph disco.

limited to 350 copies !!! first release on a hot new crosstown offshoot. focusing on more under the counter, edgier releases, sis delivers a killer ep. gallian is a monster of a track, off kilter beats punctuate a funky ass sparse groove whilst a rich soulful vocal rips the track to shreds. this release is simply huge, the fusing of the soul vocal and spine tingly staccato beats works a treat, a must for all floors! on the flip >machiste< is an epic, of a track, 13 minutes of pure beauty. warm, sub aquatic sounds float effortlessly in and out of the hypnotic rhythms whilst disengaged vocals eerily haunt the track, fading in and as sounds envelop you…wow!!! please note this is a limited release, so get these hot puppies whilst you can, because when they are gone, theyre gone!

the latest from thesongsays brings back one of our main players - bruno pronsato. whats he been up to you might ask? aside from completing his album lovers do, working on music with thomas melchior and daze maxim and putting out records as pubic lover with our leading lady ninca leece, not much… maybe hes been in the rafters sipping coffee or understudying for bigger roles. who knows. nonetheless he’s back. these two new tracks come from his upcoming lp, lovers do. its a single, sort of. but not really. because when has bruno ever done a single like we know a single? this 12-inch is about as far as you could get from club fodder. rather, its a pair of subtle grooves to soundtrack you cutting carrots, sipping whiskey, or dancing at some intimate afterhours spot

next up on the infamous rhythm convert label we have mladen tomic who is fresh in our memory because of his great release on loose records! with a touch of the italian sound and vibe this is a great dancefloor orientated release. wicked basslines and cool edits do the work. off course we have labelboss tom hades stepping in for the uptempo techno remix!

please welcome a new member to the mojuba label family, sirko müller. to some of you sirko might not be so unknown, because hes in the game since the mid 90s and is one of the founding members of the label tokomak records, which was also founded by mojuba head honcho don williams back in the days, and he recorded also tracks for pure plastic sublabel rewired, styrax and milnor modern. after a long hiatus sirko is now ready for some new action, so to reintroduce him to you we decided to put out some of his classic tracks as well as some unreleased bits! its quite hard to believe that these tracks are from about a decade ago, because they are still sounding fresh but also capture that little dirt and roughness which still remembers to the early years of clubbing!

the two hamburg based acts me succeeds and arp aubert are responsible for the first part of a ki records split series. on the ep named after the city in the north of germany the two acts combine their friendship and musical preferences to remix each other and contribute one very own track on each side. me succeeds, with their members mona steinwidder, sebastian kokus and lorin strohm, is a part of hamburgs labelcollective i saw music and their songs combine indie pop with electronic beats and chords. arp aubert consists of the two founding members of mirau records: stephan lorenz and marco niemerski. niemerski is better known for his productions as tensnake, but keeps arp aubert running as a matter of heart. the ki-split 1/3 (hamburg) is truly a family matter. because of their close friendship, me succeeds and arp aubert have created a very intense and emotional record. by remixing each other and combining their musical background this release turns out to be a very special one for ki and the acts themselves. the cover was created by me succeeds in well known ki tradition to make this piece of music something special and memorable.

brand new ep on qalomota records, after the successful >kolakola-dj steaw< (only on vinyl) we strike again with the new generation of french house music producer. the qalomota family is proud to present you lemy leopard. this young producer got 5 tracks to house u all night long. from old skool flavor with >from the jungle< featuring laetitia dana and >welcome to my house< lemy is crazy about old kerri chandler or bassmental stuff! on b side lemy and the wellknow jocelyn mathieu (maw rec, animal house, dj fudge) give us >state of the world<, this song is perfect for the actual dancefloor. the two other tracks, >lemy house music< sounds really detroit smooth house music, >true soldiers< is definitly close to larry heards work in the 90s. his first ep is just a little taste of what lemy could do, because this guy is absolutly incredible, from hip hop to house and electro, he is the man!

mitzi are a 4 piece of awesomeness made up of dominiqe bird, jad lee, charlie murdoch and cale suesskow. they all hail from australias most laidback and sunny city brisbane. some people call it brisvegas because its sexy too. after playing in various killer bands such as bmx (2009 unearthed parklife winners), comic sans (2010 unearthed st jeromes laneway festival winners), charlie why! (recent bang gang 12 inches signing) and the gallery kiss all the dudes have united to create some genuinely exciting australian music. the three tunes on >all i heard< fuse the sounds of garage disco, nyc indie and the light heartedness of australian pop. jono ma (lost valentinos, tracy thorn, teenagers in tokyo) mixed the record at ewan pearsons studio in berlin and made all those trumpets, snares, keys, whispers and vocals sound ridiculously tight. future classics history has always been rooted in bands and were pretty stocked to be getting back into it. plus its our 50th release!

the latest release from the fizzy duck label features carlos nilmmns and ian elgey joining forces on two deep sounding pieces of music. with a nod to their love of the detroit sound on >its because< and >thought pattern pt. 2<. the third track on the 12 inch comes from a new band intrasound from glasgow with mesuma on remix duties.

supported by marco resmann, damian lazarus, dyed soundorom, mark henning, mr. statik, pherox, silicone soul, someone else, varoslav, vincent lemieux, butane, insideout, anthony collins, axel bartsch, cesare vs disorder, eric johnston,..... a man once asked a lion,>what do you dream about when you sleep in the field?< to which the lion replied,>when lions dream they visit another world. hearing this, the man said, >that sounds wonderful. can i go there?< the lion grinned and answered,< no, you can not, because youre already there
