*isigude (pronounced - e-see-goo-de... meaning bird of paradise) is a newly founded record label based in athens, greece. for our debut release we have dug deep into the archives of greek jazz fusion to unearth and reissue some obscurities from the catalogue of esteemed composer michalis rakintzis. rakintzis should need no introduction to greek ears, widely recognised as a celebrated composer and lyricist since the 1980s with his career taking in more than 20 personal albums, numerous singles and several high profile collaborations. his composition “arrest”, lifted from 1988 s ost to the film -lifelong- was selected and included on the hugely popular greek music compilation -into the light- in 2012. for isigude s first 12- vinyl release we draw our focus to the 1987 track “i don’t believe” featuring vocalist eleni dimou. -i don t believe- combines pop, rock and eastern melodies and feelings and sold more than 100.000 on it s original release. featured here in remixed form by up and coming greek producer zaq (a.k.a img_02) the original composition is reimagined and the result is a low tempo dreamy, balearic disco burner with dimou s lyrics expressing her disbelief in love, beautiful moments, oaths and sacrifices, with her requesting to be set free. a truly beautiful and tasteful reimagining of a lost rarity, the perfect way to launch the label.

after a few months of silence following head honcho marco shuttles sing like a bird (reprise) ep, eerie records is back on duty with a strong and utterly refreshing techno release by talented artist serena butler, an obscure producer digged out of the submerged underworld as it already happened previously on shuttles imprint that got us used to releases by relatively unknown and underrated artists. arpeggiated synth lines layered on booming reverbed kick drums mixed with percussive elements of distorsion and lush pads make for a very playable release that is at the same time dreamy and deep, despite being also very organically open sounding, musical, and in many ways counter-trend and different to the dominating dark droning techno style that is so popular these days.

northern disco general and machine music lover craig bratley is back with a firing new ep on his own magic feet label. it features one track from him with danielle moore from crazy p, plus a remix from andrew weatherall and one from heretic. bratley operates on the freakier end of the disco dancefloor, with weird electronics and raw jacking grooves propping up his analogue sounds. he has released on andrew weatherall s bird scarer, has put out a fine album on tsuba and hosts his own kaleidoscopic show on leeds kmah radio, so is an accomplished artist and dj indeed.

steve murphy presents his new acid and industrial-tinged techno project, the night flyer, on lobster theremin’s cryptic black label imprint. a fear-addled chill seething down the spine and a machine-grinding, acid terror-bird emerging from the deep night, the night flyer is an expectedly dark take on the seedier end of technoid nightmares, while hanging a distinctly cold (wave?) atmosphere over cobbled, crushed analogue structures.

the music here is very much in the spirit of the label s kosmische/space berlin-school agenda, both reflecting his earlier work and exploring new territory simultaneously. lush orchestrations and beautiful synth pads contrast against hypnotic rhythms and delicate melodies, and while the label s mission might be -electronic listening music- tracks like red bird and mistral are surely dj material too.

ein paar jahre nach seiner letzten platte war es für suff daddy nun an der zeit sein neues gruppy dumb studio einzuweihen. tief verwurzelt in seinem klassischen suff daddy-sound, entstand ein album, das sich in die entwicklung von suff daddy als producer und mensch nahtlos einfügen lässt. er ersetzt das becks und den schnaps als inspirationsquelle und berieselt sich fortan durch die eindrücke, die er auf seinen reisen durch europa und australien sammeln konnte. weniger chopped samples, dafür mehr synthies. weniger hip hop, dafür mehr handgemachte musik. nachdem er 2015 seine dj-shows erfolgreich aus deutschland auf ganz europa verlagern konnte, u.a. mit einem boiler room in london, durfte er auch anderson.paak bei seinen deutschland shows als support begleiten. auf dem album sind unter anderem sein bandkollege dexter (betty ford boys) aus stuttgart und mayer hawthorne aus los angeles vertreten. der einzige up-tempo & vocal track auf dem album ist sicher einer der ungewöhnlichsten für suff daddy. dexter und suff daddy hingegen ergänzen sich mit ihren ganz speziellen basslines und drum sounds, so ergibt sich der bewährte sound gepaart mit dexters brachialem habitus. diesen winter wird suff daddy zum ersten mal mit einer liveband auf der bühne stehen. termine folgen.

andreas tilliander returns to kontra-musik in a grand style with his second tm404 album. titled acidub , this highly anticipated release is much more of an evolution than a repetition of the first superbly self-restricted album, where tilliander even decided to use only one of the two roland tb-303 waveforms. acidub is a more playful and open listening experience, no doubt inspired by his extensive live touring with the tm404 concept. in fact, you can almost hear tilliander s flock of acid machines breaking free from the restrained modus operandi. every sound is like a migratory bird with a heart yearning for high altitude and favourable winds.

finest hour reaches chapter four with three cuts of futuristic house by robin ordell. on the flipside label co-owner onirik delivers his gritty deep techno reinterpretation.

the fourth studio album „in the beginning“ by the critically acclaimed live band marbert rocel from leipzig. a place far away from everything, yet right around the corner. a vision close enough to touch, yet so far away. surrounded by keys, hatches, pots and small fragmented parts, marbert rocel lie down, discuss and dance through the winter of 2015. in this environment, in their studio in leipzig, the band ties together the songs, which first saw the light of day in a small spot enclosed by woods in the summer of 2014. ?each decision goes through every head, each chord is listened to a hundred times, from font to back and in reverse, each compromise: a triumph for the common cause. not pompoous string arrangements fuel this album with grandeur, but rather the notion of a consensual nod, which has evolved within marbert rocel over the years. ?“in the beginning” is the fourth album by marbert rocel, a living utopia and a tart kiss for every purist genre lover. nothing is hewn raw on here, rather sculptured delicately. percussion is tickling from synth pads like dew, and the songs welcome you like good friends. like tinkerbell, spunks voice guides through this strange familiar world, moving past big feelings and small gestures, to finally lead to where it all started: “in the beginning”.

yoruba records is happy to release this dance floor ready ep by label head osunlade. stretching across a range of styles theres something for everyone in this release, an absolute must for every djs bag. the ep opens up with the title track, what pho. a relaxing jam driven by a powerful sounding grand piano and complimented by shakers, the added backing percussion and subtle bird chirps lend well to the creation of this tracks rainforest-esque mystique. next up is the deep, almost jazzy track – jus anuda groove. the rolling bass line and four to the floor beat will get you moving – and keep you there - as osunlade reminds us that this is just another groove. opening up the b-side is schavanna, a funky, guitar-driven track whose pulsating bass line and friendly but muffled vocals will keep people moving on the floor. finally, the ep closes with the waiting game, a hypnotic, tribal-learning track with a foot-stomping beat, colored with the seductive vocals of rainy payne, its hard to tell which is more captivating, the groove itself or the story line she unfolds.

the australian dj, producer and musician jad lee likes to have several irons in the fire all at the same time. for instance hes a member of mitzi (along charles murdoch and dominiqe bird), one half of the pan-pacific indiepop duo twiggy lashes and a solo artist known as jad & the ladyboy. under this moniker he releases music which can be described as soulful house with plenty of disco influences. for never come back down jad had singer mark borgazzi in his studio to cut a precious, groovy two-stepper into a genuine pop diamond. in order not to get only radio airplay, but also to be played out in gloomy underground clubs with extra fat subwoofers yannick provides his homicidal sexfactmix. with its untamed bassline and a milling-machine like synthesizer this feels like an unchecked punch to the gut. there will be blood on the dancefloor!
