we are proud to announce a new member to the echocord family, we have signed the super talented tomas rubeck. he is known for his releases on labels like, animal farm, amadeus, fifth interval, telrae and more. based in the midlands (uk) where post industrial decay fringes with an idyllic rural backdrop, it may not be too much of a surprise as to where aspiring artist tomas rubeck takes his lead on inspiration for his music. with an ear for detailed production and a self confessed perfectionist when it comes to sound design and artistic flare, its clear as to why his records seem refreshingly different. his first ep on echocord contains 3 heavy powerfull dubby tracks, all for the dancefloor.

over the past several years, j(ay).a.d has released several eps touching on footwork, dubstep, grime and dancehall, approaching dance music with a wide open lens that tends to blur accepted genre lines. a bjork co-sign earlier last year jettisoned the amsterdam-based artist into the popular consciousness. raised in suriname, j(ay).a.d is the consummate dance music outsider and despite living in amsterdam, his music hardly ever fits in with the citys house and techno hegemony. the ogri ai ep is very much a blueprint record, simultaneously paranoid and dark, its seeped in industrial dread and natural beauty. and while many of j(ay).a.ds contemporaries attempt to create more alien sounding music at the expense of a human element, the ogri ai ep has been a overlooked milestone for the hybrid footwork & grime realm, and its now back on re-stock.

chicago legend marshall jefferson gave the world many classic records over the years including this influential proto-deep house gem way back in 1986, helping to solidify a blueprint & sound for numerous producers to come in the following decades. his work as jungle wonz always went deeper than most, steeped in soul & emotion, way ahead of the game & incredibly advanced for the times. *the jungle* is no exception, a blistering, melodic journey, the perfect vision of house. repressed & remastered for 2015 & featuring all original label artwork, with permission from trax records *the jungle* is now available again to be rediscovered, a truly essential record that stills sounds as fresh & contemporary today.

limited four tracker from this new london based duo hand stamped white label from the long absent blueprint sub-label a twice hand stamped white label release from the blueprint sub-label, their 1st in many years - this time round we get four tracks from new london based duo rumah & progression.

• 1st edition on clear vinyl with hand stamped sleeve
following his recent 12 inch * slit* james ruskin returns with a new ep treading a much deeper path - the 1st edition coming hand stamped on clear vinyl...

after a decade of creating some of *the most distinctive techno around* (resident advisor) for the likes of blueprint and stroboscopic artefacts, r&s is delighted to welcome dublin based duo, lakker into the fold with their stunning new ep *containing a thousand*.
lakker: we are delighted to be releasing on r&s. it is one of those labels that has been huge in electronic music for years - anyone who is into modern electronic music will have a few r&s records in their collection. ourselves included - classics from joey beltram and afx up to the recent tessela stuff. it is all in our bag!

james ruskin returns in style with his first new material on blueprint in a while. this solid three tracker takes a more varied yet deeper, cerebral approach than previous releases...> wisdom of youth< comes with a broken tip of the hat to gescoms timeless > key nell< – terrific, and surely the way to go in 2014 ??

essential re-release of early outline material, fully re-mastered and bought up to date, 1st in a new series of re-releases

with influences ranging from breakcore and jungle to techno and electronica, their sound is just as far-reaching with organic sample-based productions and synthetic, processed electronic beats. lakkers torann ep, their second release for blueprint, kick-starts with the dappling beats of summer rains, before moving onto the more experimental mustard crying. ciar takes us back to the dancefloor with ominous undertones, while static & amp is a simple but effective exercise. finally the diminutive but meticulous one note caps the ep off in fine lakker style.

ltd 2012 repress on black vinyl... >post-traumatic son< by o/v/r aka ruskin & regis in 3 mixes by ben klock. a collaboration made in techno-heaven, delivering pure awesomness!

killer new moves from the blueprint boys...

repress in black vinyl!! part three of the brilliant four part remix series invites robert hood and dvs1 (zak khutoretsky) to the table, poly outer sleeve brilliantly shows off the printed insert also included... two remixers get in on the act this time for mr ruskins corking remix series - little more to say here, another great blueprint record !

four serious cuts between dystopian techno and industrial ambient by james ruskin and mark broom aka the fear ratio.

irish live act / release duo lakker join the blueprint label with their first release. slick shake inspired techno and electronic tracks. irish lads ian mc donnell and dara smith have been recording for some time as lakker with a number of releases for the likes lazybird, alphabet set, acroplane and most notably killekill. here we proudly present their first blueprint record in the form of the arc e.p. a superb mix of bass driven techno and electronica across the four tracks here but the office fave has to be a2s super-shuffling piano track -ed- which reminds very much of mid-period anthony shake shakir material from days long gone.

>blueprint< (movlp 455) from 1973 presents a well-rounded picture of gallaghers eclectic influences. muddy waters, big bill broonzy, roy head are all shown their due. includes the brooding >seventh son of the seventh son<, which locks the band in a swampy groove for over eight mintues!
remastered audio on 180 grams audiophile vinyl.

180gr heavyvinyl ! back to black , classic hip hop

11 track double vinyl album from new mark broom and james ruskin supergroup ! limited initial run on marbled grey vinyl - similar look to the recent sfbsf003 surface 12inch full picture sleeve. the project, knows as the fear ratio, has seen two of the uks finest proponents of no-nonsense, immaculately sculpted techno locked in the studio together. these sessions have already borne three 12 inch titles - no time soon, erotic misery and night nurse – two of which were released on ruskins blueprint records, with the other pressed up on brooms beard man imprint. the fear ratio moniker was adopted following the release of these club-focused 12s, with the album project honing in on more abstract and experimental textures. ruskin revealed details about the project in an interview earlier this year. he said a live fear ratio project was also in the works, with a press release claiming these would commence in 2012. as the fear ratio, broom and ruskin delve into the hinterland of contemporary music. a space where cold atmospheres meet lush melody and tough, yet clipped pulsating beats. from the warm poly-rhythmic funk of >ax< to the deep spatial reverb of >guv 1<, the dub induced strains of >pinhead< and melancholic refrain of >morning blues<, ruskin and broom deliver their new artistic agenda

super limited dj promo from the new techno supergroup ! black label, hand stamped / stickered copies . features stunning plaid remix ! a treat for all blueprint fans here - a limited 1st edition dj promo of forthcoming material from the soon to land and much anticipated lp from new artist >the fear ratio< aka techno faves mark broom and james ruskin. this great 12inch will be officially released after the lp / cd has dropped in a few weeks but for now you get to enjoy an exclusive remix, of morning blues from plaid backed up by an exclusive deadhand (broom & ruskin) remix of guv three. both tracks will appear on the cd version but not the vinyl version of the lp so be sure to grab em while you can..

modernista make a very welcome return after dropping their now classic debut 12 on us last year the architect of that raw late 80s machine music homage, paul bennett is back in charge here one of pauls formative influences during his youth was the music made by the first wave of techno producers from detroit. this release attempts to bring back some of the drama and pure funk of that sound. electronic music for the head, heart and feet. immaculately programmed maydayesque drum machines, emotive & expansive pitch bent synths, thundering low frequencies and clanks galore. this is a supercharged rewiring of the detroit blueprint in three startlingly well executed flavours.

absolute stonking techno turnaround from hotflushs sigha ! 3 tracks to change the game, serious business ! back to normal releases now for blueprint after the final instalment of regis and ruskins ost-traumatic son project. emerging from the more experimental side of the dubstep scene in late 2008 with a number of releases on the much lauded hotflush recordings imprint, sighas sound has evolved into a deep, dark, introspective take on techno. he has also worked with echocord, metalheadz and immerse among others and runs the >our circula sound< label.

final chapter of the stunning remix series ! comes in an extra special oversized-spine printed jacket to house all 4 of o/v/r/ bp030 12inch series limited 1st pressing on clear vinyl in poly bag with printed insert. at last ! the final instalment of the prestigious remix series from regis and ruskins post-traumatic son project. this limited first edition comes housed in an extra-special printed card sleeve with an extended spine giving enough room to fit all four 12s from the series (bp030 / 30.1 / 30.2 / 30.3). this time round berlins dettmann throws in three superb takes on the original - office highlight has to be b2s scratch-fest with mdrs menacing vox and flying high-hats building the floor tension.

part three of the brilliant four part remix series invites robert hood and dvs1 (zak khutoretsky) to the table, limited 1st pressing features standard clear and super crystal clear vinyl ,poly outer sleeve brilliantly shows off the printed insert also included... two remixers get in on the act this time for mr ruskins corking remix series - little more to say here, another great blueprint record !

>post-traumatic son< by o/v/r aka ruskin & regis in 3 mixes by ben klock. a collaboration made in techno-heaven, delivering pure awesomness!

the dream team return, another sinister slab from these amazing producers ! features trouser-flappin bottom-end mastered by the don, matt colton ! james ruskin and mark broom follow up their previous and serious selling outing (bp029 no time soon) with a stonking slab of the dark techno stuff ! if we are to reference this release then it perhaps could be likened to early surgeon or downwards titles with menacing riffs and destroyer basslines..... just fantastic

the less we say the better - another essential collaboration, suck it and see ! limited 1st pressing features clear vinyl, and a poly outer sleeve to brilliantly show off the full size printed insert also included... a new take on classic uk techno here with a solid and somewhat retro sound palette. regis and james ruskin follow up their previous collaboration (bp025) in brilliant form with menacing riffs, frenzied 808 kicks and a haunting downbeat track to finish things off

limited 2010 repress in clear vinyl !! 3-track release of breathtaking ultimative detroit classic! from the lengdary album >earth & nightfall<! a 1990s intelligent techno blueprint

ruskin continues to stomp out his trail of killer recent releases this time enroling the help of uk don mark broom ! a must for fans of o/v/r !! uk techno dude mr james ruskin pours on the release pressure here with the help of official techno country bumpkin mark broom! just back from remixing the wurzels, broomy takes the tempo up a little adding red2 style stabs whilst referring back to the solid sound palettes of the previous (and massive selling) regis collaboration of o/v/r (bp029)

valmay aka paul mac delivers 3 dubby techno-killers for james ruskins blueprint label.

classic 2003 album!!

just brilliant : luke slater remix

limited repress edition on the james ruskin label blueprint !! including steve rachmad remix

after a break from solo production for his own blueprint label, during which he released a well-received album ( the dash ) on the mighty tresor, and a brace of singles as o/v/r (with regis), james ruskin returns to home-ground with a cracking two-tracker. sabre is a classic ruskin production, booming bottom-end and a mind-mangling filtered fx loop swirling around over the top. deceptively simple production that is definitely greater than the sum of its parts, as all good techno should be. on the flipside, massk follows a similar template, with only 5 or 6 parts throughout the whole track, but the subtle changes in arrangement lure the listener in to the deep and dark world of mr ruskin...

james ruskin teams up with karl o connor aka regis to reactivate blueprint records with a deep and dark techno 3-tracker!

in 2002 the 65d mavericks released this sonic vision of an industrialized technoid soundscape.
