das transparente 180 gramm doppelvinyl erscheint im 3-fach klappcover.

following their atalanta-12inch, stockholm-based farbror resande mac returns to horisontal mambo with this extended ep of b**earic bliss. through releases on labels such as aficionado, back to the balearics and is it balearic they ve carved their own niche in the tropical music climate we northeners like to embrace. although it s hard to to escape the use of the dreaded b-word it might be the most fitting label still. anyway, we love it and we hope you do to.

apparel music return with the introduction of a brand new sub label - apparel tronic. the intention for this new division of sound is to shift focus towards uk-rooted beats, nu-jazz, downtempo and jungle - a collection of styles the label like to term bliss-beat. this treasured and futile basis of influence gives rise to giuseppe dalessandro a.k.a kisk and ludovico schilling schillings new project which they inaugurate with the hella lp from schilling himself: a collection ukindebted dance tracks that meld influences from jungle, breaks and hip hop. originally born in milan - schilling relies on a process he likes to describe as contamination of sound which entails the layering of field recordings and the sounds of his home environment with those of synths, real instruments and samples. this approach brands a clear stamp on his productions and enables him to create a truly singular strand of dance music and its this that glues together the 9 disparate tracks of hella. moving from the cascading breaks of the lps introduction anarcoide to the woozy and textural black lighter - the album begins to build a spectral mood as it progresses. tracks such as flesh is weak and madting draw influence from the golden-era of bristols trip-hop while tracks such as snooker club and viejos delve into more caliginous, idm territory. the result is a rich and varied collection that demonstrates apparel musics unwavering ability to continue to keep listeners guessing.

moscoman continues his treisar journey with the stunning snake & pygmy ep.
on the a side lies the gorgeous trance inducing snake in a hat, an uplifting intergalactic voyage gliding through layers of synths, twinkling piano notes and melancholic melodies that skilfully progresses into pure bliss.
on the flip, the pace slows down with pirate of the lost ark. this dark mesmeric number features moscoman’s signature gritty bass style, rolling snare drums and swirling synths all mantled in mind bending effects.
the bpm rises again on the closing track forget the rest, an irresistible amalgam of dreamy keys and rumbling drums, punctuated by a catchy electronic funk.
snake & pygmy is the second of twelve releases for moscoman’s treisar label.

first ever re issue of the classic ed banger 2007 compilation (all tracks were exclusive to the compilation)s) 14 track compilation only contains exclusive tracks (except mr flash disco dynamite & justice phantom) and once again, and as always, expect the dopest design around from so:me.

dj bone is differ-ent. but then again, he always has been. a pioneer dj and producer hailing from detroit, whose technical skills are perhaps only equalled by the upper echelons of the city s most advanced techno trailblazers, he s nonetheless forged a path only of his own. eschewing commercial expectations, scene pressures and anything other than his own exquisite taste, bone has earned a vital, dedicated audience while remaining comfortably and individually underground.

ltd handstamped 300 copies, 4 disco, funk, freestyle edits by jonny rock.serial editor, funk wizard and vinyl junkie jonny rock slides into cocktail d amore s cockring inbox with four sweaty nudes of his own. as always, expertly dug and revisioned, we range from the 80s miami freestyle of track 1 to the swampy cosmic fuzzy blues of track 4 by way of italo bliss and dubby proto house. on point curation and production throughout, sleeping on this is punishable by funk law.

fresh off son of sound releases on delusions of grandeur and local talk, new york based henry maldonado is back on his district 30 label with son of sound 05 / the love up beat down. this 3-tracker features something for everyone, as jackin house, disco-chug and even detroit techno are well represented.

nice price deal !!! based on an old sketch for a track that was lost for 20 years and then suddenly resurfaced on an old dat tape when he moved his studio, latest offering from per martinsen aka mental overdrive takes us into a universe where big pianos and bright sunshine is the order of the day. to make things even more summery and relaxed he teamed up with fellow norwegian disco connoisseur rune lindbaek for a joint remix, and while in the studio they had a swift visit from chanteuse anneli drecker - recently known for her position as front vocalist for röyksopp - who added her soothing voice to the mix to transport you even further into balearic bliss. finally this release also introduces the bright new talent of boska, delivering his more uptempo remix duties to complete this essential package to kick off the summer season.

you speak what i feel are terre thaemlitz (dj sprinkles), mark fell + mat steel (snd), presenting here a previously unheard house killer produced in 2002 and completely destroying us!
next in our 12 x 12 series is this total fxcking peach of a collaboration made in 2002 by three peers with a mutual passion for the deepest, original nyc garage and house grooves. it’s the first time that longtime friends sprinkles and snd have used their collective handle you speak what i feel since an appearance on a comatonse 10th anniversary compilation back in 2003, and finds the trio at their deadliest, producing a deep-as-anything, peak-time doozy riding a strolling bassline, pointillist claps and effervescent chords for 10 minutes of swingers’ bliss.

the new album from alicia keys as 12 inch vinyl lp in gatefold sleeve.

bleep. easily one of the most influential sounds to grow out of the burgeoning electronics scene of the late 80s. nowadays, easily one of the most overlooked genres. but not around njimgen. shipwrec are turning some deserved attention to those pioneering plinks and plonks for a 12- homage to the trailblazers of the sound, lfo. quadratschultz provides the material, the german artist serving a warehouse brewed, acid spiked, tribute to mark bell and gez varley. posthuman ruffle the edges that bit more with a bleary eyed 303 monster before countryman fah gives basslines a steroid injection for a thick and meaty mix. varley closes with a tribute to his former group. his lfo remix might be a solo endeavour but it has all the raw unrefined dancefloor energy that characterised the music of a certain pair of young lads from leeds cerca 1990. bleep bliss.

having done such wonderful work alongside wolf muller on the sound of glades album, cass makes a welcome return with an expansive album release on emotional response. the german producer s ambient tendencies blossom here, occasionally meeting with laconic drums as on u but primarily dealing in huge swathes of melody. djs will want to hold out for the dramatic pulse of ann, where a more pronounced drum set makes for one of the album s most club-ready moments. theres a strong variety of tones and moods across youth sessions, from the strafing arpeggios of running to the bliss-out shapeless swirl of prismatic prolog, and this ensures that the album will not dull with repeated listens.

the vinyl only label comes from ant plate (of rhythm plate notoriety), and following some turns from ant himself as yse saint laur ant the label branches out to welcome brand new entity (or quite possibly alias) bubbadog to the playing field. the quality of the music eschews any notions of who did what, as the tumbling latin tones of -alma- meet with the laid-back, handclap-heavy bliss of -threshold-. -boodoo- on the flip deals in a more peppy kind of offbeat house, and then -talkin talkin - and -harry- drop down into a classic bit of funk breaks business.

madteo travels through hip-hop, disco, house, new york city, psychedelia, sound exploration & exploitation – an exeptional contemporary and his symbiotic collaboration with sensational has resulted in a milestone album – special offer. dj sotofett compiled and edited material from 2005-2011, all from the outgoing-but-idiosyncratic world in jackson hts (queens nyc) – a world blissed by sensationals chronic heavy weight rap & madteo s psyched out disco, free-jazzed sonic stompers, smirky hip-hop bangers & out-of-the-ordinary leftfield. a sparse edition of quality white labels of this lp has circulated since 2013 – with cut-up introductories by dj sotofett, additional guitar by tapes, emminent vocals by sensational and high-level sonic attitude by madteo this history has already been written – it’s just up to you to listen.

berlin based adam marshall and christian andersen collaborate as graze. in the latest installment of our ufo series, the dekmantel records offshoot dedicated to experimental and futuristic electronic music, the canadian veteran producers serve up a 50/50 lethal/dreamy drum trax package. many have applauded the versatility of graze, and their xup ep is yet more proof of their original minds. xup is an abstract 4/4 jugular, beating out devious percussive patterns and rattling hi-hats over a grizzled and arpeggiated synth mortar-fire. vast on the other hand is an esoteric slow-burner, a hallucinatory trip to the depths of analog synth paradise and a perfect intro, outro or home listening gem. on the flip, the hyper-lean gearshift of tryptch pumps energy through off-kilter and plunderphonic basslines, while shadow play’is a classic piece of breakbeat bliss including a celestial synth arrangement that makes a perfect soundtrack for slow-speed sci-fi rides.

giallo disco returns from hiding all summer, taking comfort in the encroaching darkness with a very special ep from the one and only ali renault. someone we wanted on the label from the very start (though we teased out a remix of his on the mater suspiria vision ep under his parasols moniker) we’re proud to present ‘keeper of the seven keys’: three tracks of cosmified aphex bliss, where pan pipes are the sound of death whistles and hats scatter like falling shells. the sky is falling and it sounds amazing. closing up the ep is a special italo-tech remix by antoni maiovvi. lovingly mastered by your friend alek stark. art by eric a lee.

based out of san francisco, extra classic is a unique live band formed with a keen appreciation of vintage reggae & vintage sounds. the aesthetic, and certainly the skilled method of their production, is an ode to the art of that classic style as referenced to the term coined by the cool ruler himself. recording in their own studio, nopal recording, the band employs a taster’s choice of analog equipment and is devotedly tracked, spliced and mixed in-house direct to tape. however, as the group’s name itself implies, there is a dose of something extra and new in this swirling mixture of space echo, heavy phase, and emotive, psychedelic california-soul.
built upon the rock of an early-era dancehall swing, their first single in conjunction with brooklyn-based imprint names you can trust entitled in this life, is a perfect slice of lover’s rock gone sideways, a decidedly left-coast piece of roots and bliss driven by adrianne delanda’s lovely lead vocals and the steady, dusty echoes of the locked in players. presented in the traditional format with a version as per nyct fashion, the dub mix incorporates a soothing dose of synare beams and underwater instrumental dreams.

as her 1st official self-release under her own label, creator diy, low leaf has produced a distinguishable record that not only establishes her prowess as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, but also demonstrates her ability to execute her vision as a completely self-sustained artist in a lane all of her own creation.

future times is back at you with more hot wax!! dc s own ov, who came correct with the opening cut on our vibe 3 compilation, shares this 12- with diego (also known as dude energy, suzanne kraft) and together they lift off into the atmosphere with two dope cuts. big tip! . ov s -perc song (chords)- sets a perfect, humid scene full of string licks and syncopated chunk, before it rinses the -(chords)- and cools way out, setting the scene for -crack- on the flip. diego s track climbs all the way up, cutting in slippery drums and arpeggios underneath the floating, soaked synths, before the end of the tune gives way to pure pad bliss.

another extra hot rebirth limited 12 inch….the fourth volume of the back to the future ep is another double a side for your collection ! while the infamous is still getting big plays in the underground music scene, butch and chriss vogt are back in the studio to produce the new single.on the flip, a taster from the forthcoming single by the italian duo blue mondays. alex ferrazzi and keemani are both involved within the italian underground scene beginning in the early 2000s.

few can fail to have noticed the re-emergence of italian deep house in recent times. tracks paying tribute to the dreamy, loved-up and new age-influenced style pioneered by italian producers in the late 80s and early 90s are ten-a-penny these days, though few are quite as breezy and evocative as this ep from minimono. the fact that it s appearing on re-born rome label vibraphone - dormant since 1993, but brought back to life late last year - is rather fitting. the duo s dreamy, melodious and tactile style - see the fluttering synthesized flute lines and tactile grooves of -sailing-, the horizontal house bliss of -suspend-, and the ron trent style slickness of -next step- - is perfectly in keeping with the label s wavy, sun-kissed ethos.

four fine deeper emotive techno tracks that are pure bliss!! including a mall grab remix. quality stuff and this will sell out fast just like the previous rhythm nation releases!. recommended!

killer hypnotic techno bliss with that classic vienna flavor.

nice price deal !!! big with: play paul, shir khan, jonty skrufff, axwell, sister bliss, aquasky, sarah main, motor, kenneth thomas,.

nice price deal !!! we welcome our dear friends from milano, boogie drama aka lele sachi and sandiego once again for a dancefloor destructor on moodmusic. the duo has recently delivered hot 12-inches for 2020 vision and systematic and kept their profile well in demand for the past 2 years. lele, known from his residency at the magazzini generali in milano is a proven veteran in the italian house scene and his partner sandiego is an absolut wizard in the studio bringing their refinded sound to a dancefloor near you. the conspiracy pt. 1 builds on arpeggiated synthlines and a moroder like bassline dropped on top of driving beats and a super duped arrangement aimed for the floor but keeping it intelligent enough to be played for more discerning crowds. pt 2 takes a more housey approach, taking a note from the hamburg school of modern deep house with stabby keys, a big chunky bassline and some neat effects. a surefire floor filler. sasse delivers one of his rare remixes for his own imprint, stretching the arrangement into 12 minutes of bliss, mixing in a proto house feel with a balearic techno touch to it. think detroit in 1992 but produced with modern means and add one of the meanest basslines this side of the pond to the picture. well in demand allready by ewan pearson, dirt crew and todd terje, this is destined to be big

nice price deal !!! amazing fresh sounding electropop!! just listen

testarossa is third studio album by brinstaar. he says that this album is dedicated to redheaded blue-skinned goddess. this work is reflecting brinstaar’s deep and emotional chase for the elusive moment of infinite bliss that keeps him alive and conscious.
while using mainly processed guitars for infotswetock and synths for mielisss, brinstaar uses a lot of acoustic instruments and field recorded sounds in testarossa now, thus creates much more intimate compositions. of course, his specialty mesmerizing synth parts and precisely constructed guitar timbres are still here too.

ovum welcomes leftbank records co-boss dudley strangeways: a uk house and techno dj rooted with serious residency stripes at the legendary back to the future parties and appearances at the likes of boiler room. hot off the back of releases on stardub, little helpers and made of concrete comes his ovum debut, three tracks made constructed for one sole purpose… melting minds in the darkest of rooms. keep it clean is twistedly simple, a rump-busting roll in the drum department and paranormal pad leave space for a precision tuned tone that warps with the gravitas of a life support machine. sinewy, cold and deliciously disconcerting, dudley ensures funk and focus with delicately placed rhythmic elements and constant fluctuations. next we find ourselves breaking into an early 90s warehouse as transition whisks us on an acid trip with flurries of jack and a lean lead line that slithers through the ever-mutating drums and occasional fx hailstorms. devilishly futuristic and tailored for those deep long blends, the stripped back extensive nature of this guarantees mixing bliss. truly, tracks built by a dj, for djs. don t let this one slip…

four floaty dubs & re-rubs from san francisco s ryan bishop aka the beat broker (bear funk, flexx, adult contemporary, etc). many heads probably best know ryan as the brains behind dream chimney, one of the longest-running and most consistently interesting online hangouts for like-minded music freaks. this 12- busts loose with -satin kimono,- a funky floor-filler with the most perfect aor song title in existence. -make it happen- cools the a-side down with a mellow yet uplifting soft rock groover, dubby voices beckon the listener to break free and never look back. -honey it s you- is a pumped up edit of an old chimney classic and was crafted specifically as a wedding gift for fellow dream chimney member hatchback - now available for the first time in a physical format! larceny dub soars to new heights of aor bliss, featuring an extensive re-working of a record that was passed along to ryan by an ex-deadhead neighbor.

hypnotic dub meets rumanian minimalism. very rare side project production of jay bliss. limited pressing with very special cut and engraving. unique split color with 180g. vinyl only.

ritornell’s richard eigner & abby lee tee originally teamed up to provide the score for a collaboration with filmmaker andreea sasaran and illustrator katja seifert entitled »melting sphere«. sharing a passion for the combination of filigree electronics with playful timbres of diverse acoustic instruments and odd utensils, the cooperation of the two producers was a logical choice.
»melting sphere« merges subsonic bass, kalimba rhythms, accordion sounds and toy bells, all framed by eavesdropping recordings of abby lee tee’s cat, bathroom squeaks for five minutes of organic downbeat bliss.
»tired dancers« on the flipside offers a melancholy tale of seduction relayed from the shadows, with field recordings of nightly city noise, a reversed music box melody, hypnotic chords and meticulous percussion. delicate, celestial cello (by lukas lauermann) and contrabass flute emerge as counterpoint to this rhythmic hypnosis.
this record is as shimmering as you would expect.

in records back in romania with octave which gives us a wonderful trip with his percussive bliss. three deep hypnotic cuts and one remix from young french talent chords aka charles fenckler, which remind us glorious 90s french house age. enjoy!

fourth release from parisian label unlearn. after celebrating european talents with previous v/a : four shades, aurèle & caseer are back on us soil with chicagoan artist g. marcell. the title track hails towards the housier side of things. vocals sung by the artist, moody melody and a-1 production skills make ‘@ noon’ a serious summer groover. the rayne dub mix stands on the more melancholico-techno side of things with cleaver drum programing, proper bassline action and straightforward dance-floor material. the flipside shows a more experimental side of things with sound thought, an acidic trip full of haunting strings and cowbell awkwardness, and groov spin, a dazzling tune halfway between celestial unpredictability and caribbean bliss.

a truly poetic record that works in a club as well as on a romantic walk. pure house bliss ...

this one has been in the making for a loooong time and we do believe you will agree it was worth the wait. tj kong has been releasing some serious vocal house masterpieces over the past year on compost and other labels of fame, so it was only a matter of time before they ended up on wph. when it comes to vocals few do it better than gustaph, the belgian lead vocalist of hercules & love affair and a close friend of the wph family. inside story: gustaph provided non-credited (but paid) backing vocals for fcl’s ‘it’s you’ stormer. with tj kong gustaph takes up the role of both lyrics writer and vocalist and does so to devastating effect in absolute perfect unison with the track provided by tj kong & modular k. it’s classic but very very fresh. on the flipside tj kong & modular k team up with french wonderboy art of tones aka llorca for a trip into house music stabs & strings bliss. if the dream is always the same, we do hope this is the one you are re-dreaming. wph ten-3, niceness to the max!

apotek records takes a conversant and pliable approach to this dialectic ep. jerome sydenham opens the technological fray with the title track dialectic. deep swinging rhythms coupled with a deeply rooted dub vocal truly define its essential neoteric sensibilities. jerome sydenham s remix of macroisms drone is a prime example of take no prisoners berghain techno pure rumpus. the b-side introduces the sophomore single from hot new berlin talent non reversible. the track kuro is absolutely unapologetic in its discharge of nebulous dark thunder techno. powerful! on the last cut, jerome sydenham gets back behind the splicing desk, breaks out the razor blades and deftly edits the echoplex classic pitch break. the results is transcendent hypnotic techno bliss.

wild oats proudly presents a new record by byron the aquarius, gone today here tomorrow. the 6-track ep explores the nature of reality and being, the pursuit of ecstasy and bliss, and embracing the ephemeral.

initial white label copies, inga copeland & john t. gast back on the bone - this time its for a 7inch of 3d pop/dub bliss backed with a weighty stepping version. tipped.
