boys and diamonds is unmistakably a pop album but also one that comfortably fits in with kompakts long-standing lineage of genre-refracting releases. you will be hard up find another record that cohesively brings to mind siouxsie rubbing elbows with shabba ranks, giorgio moroder sipping daiquiris in bali, desmond dekker envisioned through skittering footwork, tom tom club sitting in with congotronics, even early madonna produced by chris and cosey. unlikely as all of that sounds, rainbow arabia makes it sound easy. mostly recorded at their home studio in echo park, muppet palace, boys and diamonds was written and produced by the couple with help from their friends in los angeles and beyond. drummer/producer extraordinaire butchy fuego (pit er pat, boredoms, mia) contributes arrangements and beats in places, and icy demons dylan ryan plays on the percussion-heavy island shuffle nothin gonna be undone . the album was mixed at the wonderful hobby shop studios in la by mudrock, who also adds some final production touches on the record. the 11 new songs on the album, were also made possible by the encouragement of peers/heroes in la like former ghosts, fool s gold, secret circuit, abe vigoda, and part time punks dj crew. outside of their hometown, they also found support and inspiration from kindred spirits like pictureplane, spoek mathambo, as well as their new home, the ever-illustrious kompakt

dark hypnotic / hardgroovin techno on fat wax !!

a1: >welcome to my world< (jfk rework) - dark, deep disco! has a real strong groove when it kicks in. very dancefloor orientated, suitable for the peak hours! vocals are icing on the cake, a great track! b1: >backed up< (jfk rework) - heavy beat, head nodding time! has a psychedelic feel, deep! horns add a bit on the top of the immense depth. killer track! b2: >blind man< - stuttering, strut of a song. cool idea, centred on the bass. a must listen

the italoboyz released their portucais ep with us a year ago and now we are exited to release two new tracks by them and a digital bonus remix from trapez ltd artist blind minded.&#8232,,,the italoboyz are free spirits. they always invested a lot of effort, like to use real sounds and instruments played by musicians and go for the matureness and raw side of the authentic sound.

yet another unmissable, under the counter trio of cuts, lovingly crafted from the most unusual of sample sources, combined with squeeky clean production values that make this a dancefloor dead cert. moonshine bears more than a passing resemblance to carl craigs monumental -throw- and ploughs an equally devastating groove, utilizing, of all things a chunk of glitter bands -makes you blind- on the flip the off-kilter but irresistble -revenge of the rock-o-mites- is a re-imagining of the lead track from the incredible rock city band’s impossibly rare electro-funk ep from 83 & sounds like allan parsons remixed by dexter. finally -why d you run away- skillfully reinterprets elements of flash & the pans -ayla- and is more than likely to be blasting out of many an adriactic boat party this summer massive

generation einzelkind … formation rosarot blind … schau der himmel ist blau … du kannst mehr sein als tv.
sascha is a real analog fanatic. after his debut ep on inclusion records he is back with a very special tune. great grooves and atmospheric melodies can be expected. to complete the release mister marc depulse (blufin, ostwind, kiddaz) has done a remix with a huge buildup for real dancefloor mayhem.

supported by miss kittin, chloé, dubfire, tobi neumann, phonique, reboot, kiki, piemont, bukaddor & fishbeck, gregor tresher kaiserdisco, markus kavka, deepchild, igor tchkotoua (pig and dan), tom wax, mihalis safras, dan curtin, orde meikle, blind minded, patrick pulsinger, gurtz!! famous for his skills of cutting up whole disney cartoons and converting them into a sparkling groovy beat, also >reshef< has that unbelievable funkiness combined with a freak out madness that has helped butch to rock the biggest dance floors around. introducing his famous rain drops and flutes butch has acquired a toolbox of sounds that he delicately layers and enhances. building up a subtle tension and keeping it low key all through the track, his breakdowns are always what one is looking for. on the flipside of the record we find an überfunky remix by his close friend amir.

2009 was a great year for these days records, and 2010 promises to be even better. the platform stood out for its innovative yet functional club sound and unique artwork concepts. the new year begins with a new split series under the name universal consciousness, based on the idea of connection between all things, and that all things have been coordinated, and they combine to make up the same universe. the first part is dedicated to two very different takes on spiritual, cosmic space techno. on the a-side argys >sometimes im blind< generates a long and uplifting emotional climax, which features a solo that will forever stay in your heart. the track was recorded at the end of 2008, and despite numerous offers to release the record elsewhere, nothing was finalised and the recording never saw the light of day. soon after the birth of his own label, it naturally fit the platform and seemed a perfect way to start the new year. on the flip side, sheffield born alexander ross, brings forth a cavernous techno piece awash with reverberation and spacial echos that brings a driving yet non the less emotionally captivating moment perfectly in balance with the depth of the a-side.

excellent deep detroit stuff !!

this is textured tasteful music thats designed to stimulate the mind and soothe the soul, incorporating broad strokes of jazzy keys, warm electronics, retro funk, deep house and more into an intoxicating swirl of sounds.

mississippi records this time delivers a great collection of guitar-driven melodic and rocking blues and gospel, recorded between 1927 and 1934.

thanks to the blinding fabric live mix and a series of highly entertaining interviews the demand for new omar-s product is now at an all time high. hes on top form here with three fresh cuts representing his sound to the fullest. opening track flying blind is a must have for fans of the deeper omar s tracks like psychotic photosynthesis. following that up is still serious nic which is probably my favourite track on the record, its got that heavily monged out raw omar-s machine vibe to it. things straighten out a bit on the b-side thanks to the smoothed out vocal house of left him up. then it finishes off with the deep house of flying gorgars. once again omar-s proves hes too steps ahead of the deep house pack. essential

on their introductory minus ep, click box offers a refreshing return to a bygone era of classic instrumentals, full of experimentation and passion generated by that ongoing love affair between man and machine. berlin shades starts out in a jittery minimal fashion but soon dives much deeper as the tough electro bassline expands and contracts dragging the dancer to and fro. the cascading hook and in-your-face sci-fi synth motif add a sense of tongue-in-cheek drama to a dynamic arrangement that incorporates steep inclines, sharp drops and snaking pathways. as the short staccato bass riff gains momentum and the hook comes round for the second time you just know somethings lying in wait and the boys certainly dont disappoint. lost road is anything but a blind alley, kicking off with some low-slung interplay between a two-note bassline and a whiplash snare that dishes out a serious spanking. hi-hats fizz across the audio spectrum, cleverly pitching up and down before a drunken bass sequence ushers in the main section with its sliding, twisted synth distortions primed for surprise and immediate disorientation. once all the elements are in play, the fun really starts with so many objects of interest competing for attention. the arrangement is pulled and pushed to great effect extracting maximum effect from this tough little unit. more electro flavour to the fore as the loose, broken beat intro and robot sounds of some toys make for some slick moves on the dancefloor. the retro synth riffs and dark spiralling pads conjure up images of some early 80s lab full of computer kids in white coats twiddling knobs on huge mainframe monoliths. the bouncing bass and analogue belches make this a must for all retro-tastic electro-boogie fans. the theme continues over into voxer as rising filtered bass tones playout over another trademark click box drum pattern, this time doused in heavy reverb and delay. an array of analogue bleeps, screams and laser beams keep the motor ticking over.

rock trio year long disaster is led by guitarist and vocalist daniel davies who grew up with an insiders perspective being the son of kinks guitarist dave davies. rich mullins has toured the world in his past rock lives with karma to burn and speedealer, and brad hargreaves is certainly no stranger to bright lights and big cities as his moonlighting gig is as the drummer of eight times platinum third eye blind. together, they are indeed, year long disaster.

janko bartelink is a new artists on the bunker robot dystopia series. he brings stunning dark industrial techno/electro atmospheres and soundscapes.

hercules and love affair is andrew butler with antony, nomi, and kim ann. butler emerged from making music for college based dance projects into a fully fledged recording artist, via the new york art scene. he hooked up with his friends from there and got them to collaborate and sing his songs and hercules and love affair is the result. antony rose to prominence when he won 2005s nationwide mercury music prize and this is a major step into a new area... a disco influenced mix of glamour and melancholy, happiness and clubbing that has sprung out of the mutual worlds of andrew and antony, kim ann and nomi. hercules and love affair is 2008s most exciting dancefloor concoction, an arthouse vision of pure pop by way of futuristic electronica, 4ad records and classic 70s new york disco, where beautiful, bruising harmonies and tensile rhythms collide in resurgent soundscapes and emotive disco workouts. the album is co produced by andrew butler with tim goldsworthy of dfa.
