more than six years into his career after several eps and a full album, there isn’t much known about ben gibson, and he is clearly keeping it that way with intent. gibson first emerged on jeff mills’ experimental, influential 6277 sublabel but then again vanished into the ether, he only reappeared three years later on perc trax, even more surprisingly with a full-length. since then, he’s gone on to steadily more notice with perc’s imprint, sect records, and most recently m_rec ltd in spite of the continuing lack of information. exposure isn’t the most important thing for us at chronicle though, and after hearing these five tracks, we saw exactly what it is that drew mills to him from the beginning. it is a sound that we find a perfect fit for the techno futurism of our chronicle series, and here we offer a platform for gibsons more sci-fi, ethereal sounding material, exclusively on vinyl for the fifth edition of our sublabel.

crossover to modern soul! den start der neuen hottest record in the land 7inch-serie auf outta sight macht house-dj ben westbeech mit seinem soul-dancefloor-anthem something for the weekend samt disco-remix von joey negro.

adam beyers unique vision of the afterparty uses phased percussion, tripped out drums and an ethereal like pad and melody to create a stand out remix that blends together two unique ideas momentously. ben klock steps up to take on the afterparty too with the sound ever so synonymous with him. he uses rhythmic stabs and an unusual melody that works so well within the atmospheric landscape he has created.

joseph capriatis remix of can you feel it is a funky techno track that uses stabs to really build a solid groove that will be a sure fire hit. the sandwell district remix of i feel it deep uses the original vocal in an ambient journey with pads and percussion to tell a story.

alan fitzpatrick yet again doesnt disappoint with his remix of riots in london that uses delayed stabs and a rolling bass line to construct another dark peak time player. jerome sydenhams carbon dub of smoke and mirrors is heavily dynamic and uses a piano chord andthe original vocal to create an energetic vibe. cari lekebusch remix of bullet uses a phased underlying melody to really drive the track forward before the bleep melody is introduced later into the track.

the mad aussies at haul music have changed things up a lot since the inception of their digital imprint nearly 5 years ago. in what might be described as a backwards move made by label-men who have simply lost their edge, they began releasing on vinyl only. first with a limited run of ornately illustrated portraits of the label owners, and now they are set to present a vinyl-only release from a cast of relative-unknowns.

native-detroiter terrence dixons longtime alliance with godfather of techno juan atkins has helped forge his own powerful sound in the world of minimal techno.

billy nasty announces the re-launch of his tortured and electrix labels... a great re-start to this label – radio play and dj support already from: marcel fengler, richie hawtin, norman nodge, rolando, dvs1, colin dale, trevor rockcliffe, the black dog, speedy j, slam, samuel l. session, rob booth, marco bailey, james tec, dj deep, alan fitzpatrick, darko esser, kyle geiger, dj snoop, kr!z, angel molina, anderson noise, adam jay, dj hyperactive, dustin zahn, gary beck, mark archer, ritzi lee and many more...

the return of ben sims with a killer double header of pounding grooves...

ear spankers are michael kohlbecker and ben dewald. kohlbecker is a well known significant producer in the scene of mainhattan frankfurt since the 90s. ich will is an high recognizable minimal industrial flavoured bassgroove ass-shaker what will set a peak point in many dj sets this winter. in early 2013 is an huge remix package comin from audiophile heroes like swayzak and robert babicz to name a few

the third and final part of prime numbers trusme remix series. once again berlin is in the house with berghain master ben klock taking the trusme classic >w.a.r dub< into deep & dark dancefloor territory. in his inimitable style all is condensed into a tightly worked & clinical production. the groove is meticulously worked into making for some hypnotic techno. klocks compadre & panorama bar resident ryan elliot takes on >nards<, stripping back its parts to an insistent & organic piece that that builds to the end. vakula completes the set with a tough reworking of >need a job<. unremitting acid moves bend around a heavyweight break with increasing intensity. serious dancefloor material.

having swiftly carved a niche for himself amongst the likes of perc, ben gibson returns to sect to deliver more of his brooding and engaging techno. there is a great emphasis on sound design and atmospherics in the two tracks on quien es?, as ominous clangs and tense tones hang heavy over rugged drum workouts. >ceased to gasp< is the more industrial of the two, but still allows for a melodic slant in the cavernous echoes that define the track. >remain< adopt a swirling, psychedelic approach to sonic decoration that draws you in just as it continues flooring you, like all good techno should. highly recommended.

junk yard connections have the honor to release ben morris >gissningsleken< & >flickorna gar for paris< (the guessinggame & the girls walk for paris). two tracks recorded some years ago ... now they are finally here as hardware, to stay as the micro-epos they are. a lovely artwork created by leo lyxxx. handstamped 7 inch in a limited edition of 300 copies, as usual with junk yard connections: no repress.

following his debut on dirt crew with the contribution to our deep love 2? compilation last month rotterdams ben la desh presents his first full lenght ep. 4 blistering and deep grooving tracks that mark his style somewhere between disco, 90s and chicago house. he first caught our attention with great releases on the outernational label and since then we have supported his sound in our sets. slow and deep is the game here.. enjoy!

great dont techno 4 tracker... new moves from cursor, ben pest & jerome hill ... cursor miner has built a solid reputation over the years for being a free thinker in the world of techno, breaks and bass music, and here for dont he delivers the massive >nonon<. with early support from perc, the track has to be heard to understand... it lures you into a trance then thunderous spastikesque drums pummel the listener into submission. in one word, classic. plus you get palinki, a warped techno bouncer. on the flip, another freethinker, ben pest treats us to >yam um sugli<, with deranged synths and drums practically oozing funk, this sounds like nothing else on the planet.. which is what dont is all about! finally, label boss jerome hill steps up to give a reworking to the aptly named >rumbler<, an intense techno bruiser!

ltd 2012 repress on black vinyl... >post-traumatic son< by o/v/r aka ruskin & regis in 3 mixes by ben klock. a collaboration made in techno-heaven, delivering pure awesomness!

with what might turn out to be one of the biggest tracks of the year, the massive what i might do by ben pearce is here. solomun, seth troxler, david august and jamie jones are all already on board with championing this slick combination of raspy soulful vocals and irresistible grooving deep house

two of the uks most formidable names in techno step into the ring for a head to head on theory. stephen brown is a man who certainly needs no introduction, and his knack of channeling the best of detroit innovation and adding his own distinct flavours shows no sign of letting up. on >fuego< and >polar< brown takes us further into the jacking zone, his signature lush melodies driving up the rear until they envelope the tracks in a haze of deep and emotive vibrations, but never letting up on the tough rhythms. ben sims is drafted in to remix both tracks, leaving slicing shards of sound and roughing up the beat on his remix of >polar<, before delving into a hard-funk take of >fuego<. big business from two keepers of the true techno flame.

the top futuristic year is 12006: next up on label-owner david vunks moustache recordings label is a collaboration between him and fellow rotterdam rogue, ben la desh who between them have combined to produce two tracks full of spaced out house, techno, electronic and disco feelings.

continuing the success of ben sims and kirk degiorgios joint project machine - a clubnight which focuses on new, unreleased, & upfront music its primary home in london, but with editions all across europe each year - ben & kirk set out their stall with the debut release of their new imprint of the same name.kirks machine theme slips into deep & melodic grounds,while bens metalworks brings a harder, dead-of-night techno feel. sims also lends his remixing skills and provides a tougher examination of machine theme

the prolific run of ben sims and his theory imprint shows no sign of stopping, this time its a tough but dj friendly 3 tracker featuring remixes from 2 of hollands finest. orlando voorn, a bonafide techno legend, graces the e.p with a firing and typically quirky, funked up, analogue drenched reworking. while ritzi lee returns with another no nonsense, raw as fuck, balls to the wall monster. the original from sims is an intense, pacey and relentless jacker, thats been doing plenty of damage in his sets for over a year. limited edition vinyl.

the box series returns on theory with 3 peak time tough edged tracks that have been gaining plenty of attention at clubs and festivals over the past year. >bite this< sees ben sims drop an anthemic analogue fuelled jacker. >reverse processed< from hollands ritzi lee is an uncompromising old school techno banger. and >dry run< by paul mac is a drum heavy dj tool with a crowd pleasing vocal sample. 3 no nonsense cuts for your box, enjoy!

incl. ben klock / inigo kennedy remixes. rmxs for phases big binary opposition, which took the techno scene by storm.

time to welcome ben sun to d.o.g with his incredible love momentum ep containing three tracks of the raw stuff to groove to. some may know ben sun from his previous releases on the brilliant voyeurhythm label, his own vinyl-only imprint distributed by clone which was established in 2009. others might have his remixes of reggie dokes on royal oak or deep space orchestra on boogie originals. whatever, this man is making serious waves right now and adds yet another feather in the collective cap of young antipodean producers making underground house music with their own unique and authentic approach.

for the next outnl we prepared a package with 2 of our favorite artists of the moment. on the a side we have a track by glaswegian james johnston who has had an immense year with releases on labels such as fine art, under the shade and boogie originals. we are very pleased that james decided to release his deep burning that was now on outernational. on the b side we find ben la desh. who returns to outernerational with the breezy but ferm drug carrier. while his previous release doctor bills is still making its round through the clubs and podcasts. we are sure drug carrier will even turn more heads.
