dear you, so why am i starting a label? i guess i am trying to centralize my output. give it all some kind of unity. my friend jon berry (who works at kompakt and is running the label with me) has been bugging me for ages to do it and now seems the time. i ve had a great run thus far with all my buddy s labels, and i dont think i will stop as long as they still want me. but for the time being it made sense somehow that i do my own thing. give it a name - maybe tomorrow - and a face - vinyl.

part 1/3. the distance from ricardos last field trip >the au harem d archimede< (perl43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12 lp-set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. it is said that funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. the space between the notes here is so vast that funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. the rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. they evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.

epiphany is damian schwartzs new moniker, created to give home to his most twisted and raw stuff. the first release in this new ahd imprint is all about raw, dirty and spiritual sounds. created and mixed on the analog domain and recorded to 1/4 inch tape, a ghost of myself could be considered as a mix of schwartzs biggest influences, from 90s ny house to detroit techno and chicago sounds, all processed through damians own style, resulting on a dope release based around strong rhythms, mystic sounds and rough yet fine progressions

elitechnique is back! intrusion is a 8 track ep with some stunning tracks. the pair (remco de jong aka phako and florentijn boddendijk) find an ongoing source of inspiration in disco and electronic obscurities as weve learned from their previous releases (which have been played and charted by all the big names in modern disco), but combine this with their fascination for the great 60s and 70s soundtracks! the result is a timeless imaginary sound track that adds sex and intrigue to their music and unleashed from the chains of dancefloor productions. on this intrusion album they take freedom to play around with atmosphere, intensity and tension without only keeping the focus on the dance floor. the result is a great versatile ep which feels like a soundtrack for a 70s french movie! both being skilled producers and musicians the result is an album extraordinaire with all instruments and music played,recorded and arranged by themselfs over a period of more then a year! first 500 numbered copies come as collectors edition with full colour artwork and extra heavy vinyl!

nice price deal !!! being in the same gene pool as pat sharpes hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young djs career off course - deep in the discos of pop trash. fortunately for metaphi / metske, although still benefitting from the same glossy 90s locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to metaphis archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, idm, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. as metske the bpms hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, slow train blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of howlin wolf. at the same tempo spin states delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: sega mega drive boss level business. metaphis taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically wigflex over sharpflex, and in terms of nationality its mongrel, half notts, half eastern europe. with concious mentis hes keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

thumping lurching beat-filled track with electric twitches and dark, steamy vocals including one snippet that says take off your clothes - so let us know where it s being played

being the hopeless romantics we are here at circus company, when we fall for an artist we tend to do it head over heels. you may have witnessed this in the past with some of our dearest protégés, from dave aju to nicolas jaar. now we are embarking on the same kind of whirlwind affair with franck roger, the glow only just retreating from our cheeks after he won our hearts with the i take you up ep. like a well-seasoned casanova, franck has found the perfect way to follow up that first date with an even deeper reflection of himself as an artist, leaving us flustered and quite simply stunned by his charm.

detroits monty luke delivers full flavor musics seventeenth release, the bomb on bomb ep. other than being carl craigs right-hand man at planet e communications, monty luke has been building quite the reputation lately with solid releases on labels like planet e, mothership, and his own black catalogue imprint. the bomb on bomb ep consists of three originals that cross the boundaries from acid house to funky techno to four-on-the-floor downtempo. >in love with a dancer< is the eps total driver, with meaty synth stabs, teasing builds, and cleverly processed vocal treatments that scatter though the mix. >bomb on bomb< is a sly combination of classic-sounding acid house keys, pulsating rhythms, and a soulful vocal going on about a sexy lady. >13th city stranger< is a sleek, downtempo house track and one of the first things monty recorded after moving to detroit from san francisco. solid stuff all around from monty luke and full flavor music.

first up is tabou for the people by sofrito specials featuring l barrabas which twitch edited for his dj sets a couple of years back. the lovely people at sofrito kindly gave permission for it to be included on this release. its a relentlessly driving slab of 4/4 afro funk with horn explosions. next up is the 10th and final track in twitchs cumbia series. the first 8 were released on japans lets get lost label and the missing number 9 is being saved for a future release. colombias cumbia was born out of african influences. this track is based around a sample from colombian cumbia legend andres landero and is an attempt to fuse traditional cumbia sounds with up to date production styles. the end result is a slow motion hypnotic cumbia retaining the haunting melancholia inherent in the original sample. leading the aa side, twitch passed a wild highlife song by ghanas atakoru manu to glasgows super talented auntie flo (whose highly recommended future rhythm machine album recently saw a release) to play around with. auntie flo cut it up and added additional drums and bass to come up with this euphoric modern highlife groover

killer release on new yorks sequencias label. powerful and hypnotic chicago acid inspired cut on the a and a cool slow building chord driven track layered over raw drum rhythms on the b-side. recommended!! label promo text: sequencias does not stop, does not conform, takes no prisoners. our third release brings you a pair of artists from two different points along interstate 94, who have a reputation for the very same. so lets get to it. the main body laid down by villan x is tight metallic percussion underpinned by solid kicks and a stream of robotic filtered bass, containing unexpected shifts within the frequency register. foreboding tones and feelings drift towards us across which the disembodied voice of kold is able to find a platform from which to shudder into our consciousness and pose questions from across the galaxies about the nature of our very being. dcantu carries on the feelings of space, with protracted white noise shots and stabby modulated organ chords, but doesnt leave it long before setting the pace with solid drums and shifting keyboard funk aimed squarely your body and the dance floor as octave changes force you up and then down again to a backdrop thick with texture. this provides for the body and the mind. act fast though, sequencias does not like to rest.

lucy the double a side is dedicated to a special one, near and dear to him and has quite an epic flowing sub-aquatic groove. we can see this track being prime warm-up or late night tackle for the likes of move d, lawrence and the smallville crew.

the new release by ricky erre love is called >novulation< for pugliese label metroklang records, who took it to the third stage in a musical adventure entirely underground. >novulation< expresses a musical concept rich in content: which is the creation of a new creature, a being who is, who wants to live and wants to express himself. ricky erre love, with this new album, leads us to discover a new generation of house techno.

it is a bold move to describe someone as the new, male equivalent of the late amy winehouse – but those really are the best words for the motown-revisited sounds of bo saris.
holland-by-way-of-ladbroke grove singer bo saris has made quite the impression in his native netherlands, but wanted a change from being a big fish in a little sea, and is now looking set to break onto the uk scene with his powerful vocal register and soulful intonations.

the only thing that keeps dam swindle from actually being from detroit is that they are born and raised in amsterdam, a little over 6000 kilometers away. so even though they’ve got their 4 feet firmly positioned on dutch soil, their heads and hearts are rooted deep into the soul of the motor city.

shortly after the controversial album >self portrait< dylan released >new morning<, which expands on the laid-back-country-rock of john wesley harding (movlp246) by adding a bit more rock & roll.

we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.
comes as double 10 inch vinyl, including cd-version of this release.

2012 - we are milleniumized neo, more than ever before. 1993, when techno was all over the place, german experts tommi eckart (at that time not 2raumwohnung yet) and ralf hertwig (at that time not palais schaumburg anymore) released a track, which found its way out there as a legendary underground-club classic in germany,england, benelux and france: the beat just goes straight on and on. its been sold out for years, but djs still play it in the clubs and it never lost its beat. now in 2012, almost 20 years later, the vinyl reissue being released, including the original cut and a remix by matthew styles & tobi neumann. it just goes on and on, enjoy!

what we have here is an album which is, if i may say, relatively positive and generally good for home listening. this album was recorded in about 10 weeks in a living room (the sofa being my bed), with restless swollen eyes at dusk and a love/hate relation with my machines, microphone and electric guitar.3 machines gave up on me during the making of this lp.i hope you will like it. tolga.

the prism is an aluminum cube, small enough to fit in your palm. it was designed by nicolas jaar as a new medium for releasing music. the first release - csa001 - features twelve (mostly) unreleased songs from jaar and other clown & sunset collaborators. the prism is a piece of art in and of itself, its contents beg to be shared. twin headphone outlets encourage connections to the object and between the two listeners. the prism tries to restore physicality to the listening experience. the medium and the method are as important as the music itself. the prism makes you consider how the music is being heard, the way the object feels in your hands, and its potential to foster intimacy between listeners. when the prism is unplugged, a beam of light passes through the empty center, revealing a void. someone is missing.

after a superb 2011 for crosstown rebels, they are now proud to present their next album, amirali >in time<. tipped as a one to watch for 2012 (mixmag), iranian/canadian producer amiralis debut album is truly exceptional, a subtle combination of house, techno, funk, electronica and downbeat with indie sensibilities. the album is reminiscent of depeche mode, radiohead, underworld and art department all through a modern electronic paradigm. amirali features on vocals on the album and is already being widely, regarded as one of the most accomplished debut albums of recent years. his recent single beautiful world (featuring remixes from deniz kurtel, daniel bortz & hrdvsion) was met with rapturous appeal gaining an ever-increasing legion of fans. in time is a fantastic body of work, from the hit singles my way, beautiful world and just an illusion to the down tempo painting on a canvas and last words, the album is full of beautiful sonic vignettes. other highlights include the broken beat whisper, the infectious hear me and the mammoth sounds of my life. just an illusion will be released shortly after the album featuring mk, franck roger and appleblim remixes. amirali has succeeding in producing a mesmeric and consummate body of work. the album has already been playlisted on npr and looking like another big album release for crosstown rebels.

nice price deal !!! vladivostok lad eastcolors is probably most well-known within the dnb community for his mixes and for his collaborations with enei and nuage. as far as modern drum and bass is concerned eastcolors is at the forefront of that techy, fresh sound emanating from eastern europe and russia. with this in mind then, it is clear that while his tunes fuse well with his fellow russian drum and bass cohorts, eastcolors is making a departure from collabs. what better way to celebrate demands tenth release then, with eastcolors settings about placing his name upfront and alone with his first ever solo 12 inch. on the flip >heavy tone< rumbles forth with a typically eastcolors take on what a roller should be. lenzman-esque synths and strange, celestial vocals are quickly worked over by an electrical storm of droning bass and pads. as the synths return to break up the clouds here and there, >heavy tone< loses the idea of becoming another lost bass-heavy roller and settles into being a multi-layered piece of quality drum and bass.
