nice price deal !!! eric copeland is an american born experimental musician and a member of the band black dice since its inception in 1998. as a solo artist he has written and produced six albums as well as countless singles through as many years, and has forged his own path creating an intimate and deranged space which his music exists in. logo my ego is his debut record for the l.i.e.s. record label out of brooklyn, new york.

the first installment in the vinyl edition of the thema compilation strength in numbers finds the new york label reaching into its deepest corners to deliver four psychoactive cuts for the most discerning of djs and dancers alike to lose themselves in. norm talley has been a mainstay of the detroit electronic music scene since the mid 90s, and the sublime, pad-enriched tones of *space talk* perfectly sum up the mysterious soul he has made his name on. damien k. sahri shares the a side with talley, and despite being a newer talent previously seen on little helpers and adltd, his slender and immersive everything joint stands up to comparison with the caliber on this record. pressing on white colored & black marbled vinyl.

gavin russom returns to ecstatic recordings sister label entropy trax for the fledgling labels second release. building on the brooding atmosphere of the purge / enthroned with a pair of throbbing, synth-powered & acid-infused cuts, the telemetry/the benificent, the merciful 12inch draws together sonic touchstones found in russoms many projects, black metoric star, the crystal ark, and his work with delia gonzalez, melding them into two singular productions that pump and drive like the sequenced machines that power them.

mood 016 sees the label welcome a new artist to fold but one who has not only held dj residencies for cadenza, cocoon and ushuaia but also seen his music feature on desolat, be as one, viva music and many more leading labels.

an ornate globe made with many layers of exotic woods spins on its axis. through the stained glass window diffuse light casts russet hews across the study. looking out over the walled garden to an orchard, great swollen purple and black fruits hang malevolently from mangled moss-covered trees. a gentle wind pushes the tangled branches and as they creak and moan the fruits thud lazily to the ground, gathering in mouldering clusters on the dewy grass.

none of them make music for the twenty-second century. the duo is constantly deconstructing its stylistic boundaries and follows traditions only to destroy them. on stage, signup (anymouse, big zis, grenzgänger) is the master of ceremony, michal ho (tuning spork, nicetry, etc.) is the selector. vocals glide over beats generated in little boxes full of flashing lights, sometimes smooth, sometimes razor-sharp. the debut album *one of them* will be released on nicetry records and comes on double 12 inch vinyl with download code included.

stalwart label tsuba continues its journey into eclectic musical territory with its next full-length project, *buy the ticket, take the ride*, the outstanding debut lp by english dark and dirty disco champion craig bratley. the double vinyl lp comes in a jute tote bag with download code included.

lady blacktronika aka “the first lady of beatdown” brings three solid productions with all in vain ep, the next instalment on bass culture records. discovered on myspace by mike huckaby back in 2007, lady blacktronika’s sound brings a gritty edge from her street days, while simultaneously oozing a unique female sensitivity. making an impressive transition from the days when the dj boys wouldn’t let her play with their toys, she runs multiple labels, sound black recordings, sound kemystry and is co-creator of cocaine records, as well as releasing on deep explorer, skylax, underground quality and now bass culture. jumping straight in with learn me baby, the a side sets the tone with a deep and pounding, powerful groove. the title track takes it up a notch, the most incessant of the package, built for that peak-time dance floor fury. while the techno undertones remain, lord knows is a beautiful swirling house number that infuses the ears and body. the common denominator in all cases is the resonating voice of lady blacktronika herself, adding the human touch… a touch of soul.

nice price deal !!! flight to the moon is the result of a year-long journey by dutch producers dimi angelis and jeroen search. it is both their first album as a&s and their first full-length record together. like the explorers whose journey is musically documented by flight to the moon, angélis and search set out to discover where this record would lead them. throughout the course of twenty tracks flight to the moon tells the story of a group of spacetravelers. it chronicles their ascent into the vast unknown and their uncovering of things as of yet unrevealed. what will they find? and what will their findings tell them? the tracks on the album – which they will release on their own a&s imprint – are diverse yet homogenous. they meander, transferring a sense of dangerous and potentially deadly encounter at one moment and then capturing a feeling of exciting amazement at another. most crucially, flight to the moon is more than just a collection of techno tracks. in fact, to think of it in cut-out genres is to limit the scope of the album’s musical offerings. search and angélis aimed to shape a record that would defy their own notion of techno. that journey can now be heard by all.

see how well it fits! the classic insidious groove. this is the sound of cocaine, people. the gay marvine interpretation takes the shape that another detroiter found on his political disco classic and allows the full song to reveal itself. a dance floor treasure.

the first release of düsseldorf-based baka gaijin is here: 001 - -life s a beach- by j. lewinson. evolved from art exhibitions an artistic event with musical guests like gerd janson, italojohnson, bicep, ata, tom trago, tama sumo, borrowed identity - the label wants to prove that a diversity can be brought into this genre, when being combined in the right way. this is what this release tries to show, too, j. lewinson one of the residents of baka gaijin proves in his debut a fine feeling for a nice combination of genres, sounds and influences.

after their featuring on kyle halls boat party ep, the bologna based duo nas1 join the bosconi family with a lush six tracks vinyl strongly influenced by contemporary detroit house. a side starts with the chuggin and moody beat of -black coffee-, then continues with the stomping and sexy midtempo of -i don t mind- and ends with the more mysterious, electro boogie raw jam of -dallas vertical roll-. on the flip we find the slapped roadhouse blues of madturkey followed by the twisted gifted & blesseds re-interpretation of -i don t mind-. the ep ends with the melancholic and soulful textures of the shuffle groover -hoarse presence-. tasty!

all nervous energy, ill-defined brilliance, detached emotion, and subdued minimalism, man is deaf is the debut album from london based electronic musician brassica. sophisticated and distinctive it distills michael anthony wrights storied musical past, capturing new wave, psych, synth music, avant garde electronics, house, and italo disco, without sounding consigned to any part of it.

hopeworks opened just under two years ago, in the heart of sheffields former industrial centre. this empty warehouse has since become the hedonistic epicentre of the citys vibrant all night clubbing scene as chief resident and director of hopeworks, lo shea has built the ethos of the space from the ground up. having hosted an enviable list of international guest artists as well as showcasing the best of tomorrows talent, hopeworks has become an essential melting pot for the cultural and musical future of a city whose electronic heritage has surpassed its industrial one. a platform to release the music inspired by the space and its loyal crowd, not to mention the artists who have contributed to its success, makes perfect sense. who better to take the helm of this debut voyage than lo shea himself… following his successful seaghdha series, liam continues to flesh out a distinctive sound that doesnt easily fit into genre divides, but which is informed and inspired by all those late nights. often functional, always perfectly weighted - his productions have - given the diverse & astonishing energy of the space that feeds them - gained support from djs and dancers the world over… this is 100% mixed in sheffield & believe us, hope, works.

exzellente remix-ep des norwegischen duos soft as snow, das seinen futuristisch-experimentellen pop von vier schillernden persönlichkeiten neu bearbeiten lässt: lucy aus italien (stroboscope artefacts), brian degraw aus nyc (gang gang dance), gabe gurnsey (factory floor), sowie der estländerin maria minerva.

elegant swingendes disco-boogie-debuet von ed lee mit einem starken und verdammt coolen gesang von alison david (the black sience orchester). maestro moonstarr verwandelte das original in ein uptempo hands in the air blockhaus stomper, während akshin alizadeh mit einigen nu-funk-beats nachwuerzt.

two deep jams with a dashing black & white mystique around them. check the b-side: late night club appeal! what it felt like to be so wanted, so adored. no one had ever felt like that about me. it was all so dramatic. always in the wee small hours when it seemed to me that the world was ours - that we were the world.
