the dark acid series returns for a fourth outing, with four of our favorite producers of the moment. the series was started for artists that we think have been exploring and developing the outer reaches of acid house and techno. previous artists who have contributed to the series include torn hawk, jamal moss as ibm (insane black man), dungeon acid, claire, golden teacher, twins, tzu sing and tuff sherm. for this one we have gathered together an exciting group who have really stretched out and contributed some outstanding trax.

ruis004 by bodj. 450 hand-stamped and hand-numbered copies on solid white & black marbled vinyl.

one copy per customer .... levon vincent returns with his most ambitious yet concise work to date: no less than a quadruple lp on his own imprint novel sound. the entire gamut of levon s unique talent is expressed in it s fullest here: stark minimalism adherent to the the groove - submerged industrial rhythms and flexing, dubbed-out basslines - shimmering leads and beautiful melody. set to be an instant classic, levon vincent s self-titled opus is finally upon us!!

following on from the the likes of the excellent son.sine re-issue, delsin kicks off 2015 with another one in the form of micronism s steps to recovery ep. originally released on nurture records in 1999, the ep, which comes in black and limited coloured vinyl, is a bonafide deep house classic from the short live career of new zealander denver mccarthy. engaging causelss mercy is a contemplative, atmospheric affair with soft drums and celestial pads that could roll and roll forever and you d never get tired. the quiet mind is just as deep, but the spiralling pads and rippling melodies here are more colourful and charming. both tracks are hugely spacious, luxurious affairs whilst constructing space on the flip is a more stripped back and humid number that is more enclosed and oppressive for cosy back room spaces. finally, the title track is a playful, elastic house track with heartwarming hooks and pinging drums. this tasteful ep shines a light on some definitively deep tracks that really do deserve the attention that will now inevitably come their way.

2nd volume of our series -moog your body-. this time we have the french minimum syndicat who bring us a techno-acid-rave theme with samples of v (tv series), with fellow frenchman umwelt, with electro dance hall with acid lines and reminiscent of the -final frontier -ur. on the flip side we have 6tma, repeating with another neoacidrave pump house brand and to top the album, another lash of breaks, acids and impossible melodies from german roger van lunteren. limited edition of 300 copies (150 black vinyl / 150 yellow vinyl) pressed at record industry. mastered by yves roussel mastering

the idea of merging recordings of different instruments and sounds appeared out of recording harp for an audiobook. the result are 4 innovative, unpredictable and completely homeproduced tracks on the a-side of the record, which negates the cliché of the harp as an apparently benign tool for gentle and smooth tunes. in order to go one step further in breaking tradition-steeped sounds there are 3 remixes from 3 different artists coming from the more technoid world of music (technical grief, carina posse, mod.civil) on the b-side. there you’ll find the attempt to alienate the original instruments and let them coalesce with danceable electronic sounds in a new context. the 12- is on black vinyl, packaged in a silkscreen print cover and limited to 200 pieces.

this compilation is in celebration of our berlin party cocktail damore, which we started with boris five years ago along with visual direction by pindar (goldnsour). what began as a gay monthly, focused on bringing quality music into the alternative culture of berlin, has grown to be host to a diverse range of open minded freaks, queers and more seeking a carefree atmosphere. the music we have compiled is a reflection of the variety of sounds our guests expect from the unique cocktail experience. the 3x12 inch vinyl comes in discodromo triple gatefold sleeve including poster and donwload code to redeem audio hi-res files.

our second 12inch will be featured by the gua camole duo with a brilliant remix by ana. some deep hypnotic sounds waiting to get pressed on black wax! and again with our selfprinted covers.

angefangen mit seinen legendären veröffentlichungen der band spacek, seiner solo-arbeit auf dem kult-label sound in color und seinen kooperationen mit dem verstorbenen j.dilla, bis hin zu seinem unter dem radar gehaltenen black pocket projekt mit seinem bruder dbridge und seiner jüngsten arbeit mit mark pritchard als eine hälfte von africa hitech - seine furchtlosen ansätze etwas zu kreieren, waren immer progressiv und stets originell. mit beat spacek nimmt er wieder die zügel als solo-künstler in die hand und hat ein album erschaffen, das zum einen wie ein liebesbrief an die zukunft, zum anderen wie eine ode an die vergangenheit klingt. erstellt wurde das album weitestgehend mit diversen iphone- und ipad-apps, was zeigt, wie befreit und angeregt durch technologien und perspektiven des neuen beat spacek gedanken aus der vergangenheit ausdrückt. es ist eine reise durch die entwicklungen des modernen großbritanniens aus einer futuristischen perspektive.

(incl nikola gala rmx) powerful techno gems that like waves of flaming techno energy will roll left and right, up and down, conquering the whole dance-floors while filling every clubbers soul with fire.

ecstatic welcomes l/f/d/m to the fold with his debut record m is a shape. l/f/d/m is london based producer richard smith. l/f/d/m first emerged in 2013, inaugurating the optimo trax series with the purple maps ep. in 2014 he teamed up with factory floors dominic butler to release two eps of hardware-driven atonal techno on powells diagonal records. m is a shape bristles with cloudy, industrial, stripped down acid/techno, landing somewhere between berghain, the warehouse sound of the late 90s and the caustic spirit of ebm.

havamal inspired briton will flisk takes his filmic approach to music to the streets with his first output on our curious little imprint. with the help of good friend black merlin (george thompson) on synths and drum machines and natasya hodges on cello, this amazingly orchestrated title track (red planet) takes us to different planets and back, even though our money is too short for commercial space travel. nashville, tennessees very own grey people (alex j michalski) works his distortion on a sinister remix (b1) thats leaning towards the more techno side of things. for the b2, will bestowed an amazing bit of roughness upon us.

after being returned from his abduction by aliens from the hidden planet nibiru, dj overdose was given an alien synthesizer the haex-hrll as a thank you for all the cerebral research the aliens did on him. on returning back to earth all dj overdose had to do was finish the 6 tracks the aliens had started to work on, which became this ep. straight forward techno hop electro funk without any fancy-pants pretentious hooha. its like a black and white movie which makes you think why the hell is there colors anyway?! after completion, the only record label he could imagine being fit for such rawness would be viewlexx... and so here it is.

d-leria presents itself in 2015 with an ep definitely explosive, creating the new series abnormal limited. including a massive remix by vsk! pressing on green transparent & black splattered vinyl.

vielspaß is proud to present blasphemie, the first ep of 3 french producers acting under the name dramatis personae, containing 3 electro/techno obscure tracks. on the a1 side, blasphemie maps the dark side of this band with a mysterious killer voice. black delorean, the second track is an acid car-chasing with crazy 80s synths. on the flip side is carcosa: 8 min of mid tempo dark ambient techno built for opening dirty clubs. serious stuff for their first shot!!

the act of shimmering is the act of leaving conscious thought behind. it s accepting what lies beyond the corporeal, transcending the physical, the soul is aware and the body, eyes, skin are distant empty casings. a clamorous, chaotic cacophony surrounds a beatific center. an endless assault of guitar, of noise that glistens, a poignant rigor. jannick schou, proprietor of tape loop drone, places himself within the tunnel of din to produce this profound work: an ethereal dream using nightmarish parts and images. black and grays generate vibrant innards. brightness is unearthed within the fetid mass and these six tracks immerse the listener into a raging sea to find a gentle undertow. furious outbursts emerge from simple, slow shivers. tremors of noise gather, reaching an elongated crescendo, becoming transformative, and shattering what form or structure was designed to contain such an outpouring of sound.

sintflut vol. 1 ist das zweite von drei releases der arche-reihe: eine wiederkehrende serie, bei welcher die musik eine geschichte in verschiedenen kapiteln erzählt: aufbruch, sintflut & land in sicht. auf der arche002 ist die düstere ungewissheit omnipräsent - „sintflut“ mit deneha, pablo einzig, barbir sowie zouaoui & jay phonic.

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.

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.
