played and supported by: adam x, ben klock, samuli kemppi, dvs1, edit-select, norman nodge, oliver ho, perc, shifted, cio d or, max_m, lucy and more... m_rec ltd continues to ascend as one of the the most interesting labels in the techno scene. today s release sees giorgio gigli (prologue music, zooloft, electric deluxe, elettronica romana, etc.) sign two original tracks and a remix of one of the most important artists of the past few years: terence fixmer (electric deluxe, prologue music, etc.). together, their approach creates something special and unique. in its original track giorgio gigli delivers the best of its hypnotic and psychedelic techno. a great atmosphere, where the ambient pads meet the dark bass sound which made giorgio one of the most significant artists in the new techno scene. the side closes with an ambient session, a drone of pure electronic,dark synth, making the idea of the state of mind of his own individual unconscious.terence fixmers version is decidedly more rough, stripped of certain atmospheres, highlighting a more hypnotic and repetitive attitude. this rough sounds have for many years marked terence fixmer as an icon of the techno world. this is a great release of modern techno!

manila fine vinyls is the label project created by edo arengi (shadow sync) back in 2010 to bring out that soulful side of techno we all love. unlike some freaks you can hear around nowadays, the manila fine vinyls productions have their roots in the original detroit sound: no frills, no virtual mockeries, just the full and deep analog sound that goes straight to your heart. music is a matter of substance, not of decorations! this second release includes two brand new tunes produced at the barricade, edos studio located in the heart of berlin. more feelings, with its electric piano chords and the moog bass line, is a well balanced blend of a fat groove and sweet azmospheres. techno with a little touch romanticism! i want to believe, a deeper tune built around a powerful, hypnotising sh-101 line with a delightful slide, is opened by touching string chords and grows as the various percussive elements are added creating a thicker rhythmic texture. its unsophisticated music, its the original spirit of techno.

although firmly entrenched in the minus camp for years, this latest four track ep from us born, berlin based ambivalent marks a widening of his sonic remit. as such it arrives on the broader techno outpost that is plus 8, and can be added to the likes of clink for whom the man known as kevin mchugh has also recorded. carefully blending the soul of his american roots with a european propensity for machine music, ambivalent’s ever evolving sonic blueprint here explores some of his most fluid grooves to date

if the doorman fronts like he dont know you... tell him that youre with the dj whether he is friend or foe, the nightmaker or the night-breaker, the mythical nightclub doorman is a universal figure of influence for clubbing fans worldwide. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner and vocalist anthony mills pay tongue-in-cheek tribute yet also take him to task with their energetic workout >the doorman<. capturing the anticipation, anguish and unpredictability of conversations held on the threshold of clubland, a hapless and faceless figure is ready to rave, and is unleashed via a processed vocal over a tightly-wound acid tech beat. a buzzing twonote bassline and pummelling drums set the stomping

the latest immerse cut sees the label tapping once again into the fertile waters of haunting, leftfield 4/4, showcasing the hitherto unknown talents of el kid. the eagle-eared out there may have picked up on the young echo radio show, which features sam kidel (to his folks) alongside west-country compatriots kahn, vessel and zhou showcasing their new tracks and mixes. for most though, this will be the first they hear of the bristol-born, brighton-based producer. on both tracks the synthetic sheen of detroit techno gets refigured into an almost downtempo kind of house music. the melody is king, whatever sonic texture it might manifest in, leaving you with ample layers to get engrossed in. that same quintessential yearning quality ensures that these first offerings from el kid fit perfectly into the immerse canon. it will shake the right kind of dancefloor, but it will also tug at the right kind of heart-strings as well.

you might not be aware of this artist or lp… but thats all about to change. this is the holy grail of cosmic disco… that disco kids dont even know yet. released in 1978 on little known inter global records, this lp is one of the most in demand, expensive & undiscovered albums of this genre. just check discogs! not much is known about the group, where their from or what they went on to do, but that doesnt stop every track on this album being a bonafide killer. arguably the albums highlight is jamaica electric, but unlike most cosmic disco lps where there is just one main track, every outing on this lp is unique and of the highest quality. cosmic, mind bending disco at its finest… sounding so fresh it couldve been made by prins thomas or lindstrom this year.

black waves is 4 tracks of deep, dark club music. since the release of his critically acclaimed album >generation hexed<, drums of death has been obsessively developing a deeper and darker sound that is tailored for the dance-floor. black waves fuses frantic 808 drum patterns and dramatic synth lines with fresh, contemplative melodies. its music born out of its makers passion for techno and house.

for cadenzas latest output, the imprint serve up something a little different from usual with a versus ep from two astonishingly contrasting yet equally prominent artists within electronic music. no remixes or reinterpretations are to be seen but instead, a meeting of minds between mirko loko and stacey pullen with deux elements. titled in fitting reflection of the combination of swiss born mirko loko and detroit innovator stacey pullen, this two track cut is as its name projects in all musical and conceptual aspects. whilst mirko loko is by no means new to cadenza after releasing his highly praised seventynine album on the label in 2009, stacey pullen is a fresh cadenza artist that the label couldnt be more excited to have aboard…this is >deux elements< the eps first piece is >formulaic mode<, a twisted combination of chaotic clicks merged with underlying melodies and a serene ambience of calm.

jem stones unique take on any genre is always compelling and highly individual. he made an impressive and memorable contribution to the early days of electro swing with the break-beat, dance-floor-filling flavors of his debut release on freshly squeezed, the electric circus ep (2010). now jem returns with a perfectly timed and unexpectedly fresh twist on a sound that has sometimes, in less skilled hands, become formulaic in its swift rise. the perpetual lotion ep raises the bar once again and opens up many new possibilities. this record will change the future direction of electro swing!
here the 1920s and 30s samples arent just backed by a house beat, but given such a distorting twist the whole has become something else entirely. the ep is slower and darker than before with brooding bass and deeper production that adds a vital contemporary edge.

kapitel 2, and once everything is new! the collaboration of talented young producers and skilled heroes of the scene provides a colorful picture of the current sound development of the label in 2011. between tempo throttled, acid infected dancefloorkillers of l kubic and old school groove monsters of tokra thaan in a remix of james flavour up to grinding minimal beats with hypnotic-flashing sounds of trockensaft, to chameleon tracks from swen weber, which welcomes you with a dancehall impregnated beat in a 4/4 beat corset, which is ironed in the course of its construction and stay suddenly like a stomping and snorting steam train in the ear canal. and if then hardy hard mates early nineties rave influences with house vocals and flat-fuzz comes with a ghostly- kicking sampletrack around the corner which is just as hip hop as electro, it is clear, that these pieces are absolute killers of their guild, from the first to the last track, and each of them is conspicuous by its own distinctive aesthetic. originality is all

the first world unknown 12 inch kicks off with a slamming piece of prototype house from glasgows naum gabo aka jonnie wilkes from optimo and his production partner james savage. showing that a relatively low pace doesnt mean any drop in energy levels and dancefloor pump power, whop! cracks along like something from an alternate reality version of 1980’s chicago. its as easy to imagine it rocking the house at medusas or the box as it is to envision it in the present day soundtracking some kind of bizarro fetish party or a particularly intense session at berghain’s lab-oratory. this is jacking in the true sense of the word. on the flip side italian born berlin resident franz underwear ups the tempo with a stunning piece of slamming european musclebeat. shades of ibiza 88-89 pervade here, the kind of pumping, chunky synth action, teutonic vocal exhortations and vaguely menacing but ultimately benign vibe that sent thousands of potty european kids totally round the bend and changed the world of dance music forever.

scoring the soundtrack of a new electronic frontier, the young new yorker named artist to watch of 2011 by mixmag and dj mag, m a n i k delivers a prototype debut album >armies of the night< for josh winks ovum recordings. as the trend for stateside dance music continues to take hold, nyc born and bred m a n i k propels it further forward with a sublimely original album. stitched together by ovum creator, josh wink, >armies of the night< is a continuous ebb of energy that continues to surprise as it gains momentum.

recloose is back with a state-of-the-art house 12 inch. two refreshing house tracks on the a side, and a banging heavy one on the b that-s leaning towards electro. the recloose as we once knew him is back. glorious! -saturday night manifesto- is his first new output in three years. it was well worth the wait, the music at hand here is truly mesmerizing.the ep shows a night out recloose style. it starts out smooth and mellow with -electric sunshine-, a heartfelt future soul piece. it then moves on to the bumping groove of -parquet-, a shaker that carries that signature recloose funk. it closes out the night with -tecumseh-, a dirt-deadly primetime mover that opens up halfway and make you want to reach for the stars and then some. with -saturday night manifesto- recloose delivers a classic ep that reminds us of his -spelunking ep-. yes

nice price deal !!! peaktime! this one definitely qualifies as a summer record. a.j. holmes is the self-titled >king of the new electric hi-life<. after moving back to london three years ago the guitarist and dj has played quite a role in the booming afrobeat scene there and formed a new band called >the hackney empire<. for the summer of seven series he contributes two remixes of tracks from the very best and xylitol that are simply made for the summertime love.

big with: sebo k, ryan crosson, dario zenker, lee burridge, shlomi aber, seth troxler, lee curtiss, brothers vibe, reboot, karotte, dubfire, mathias kaden, ellen allien, ame, joris voorn, .. italian born alex picone has been an integral member of the bass culture family since the label launch. his thai ep, our second release, found critical acclaim from both djs and dance press. backed by its chris carrier remix, the ep gathered strong support from the likes of loco dice, luciano, tiefschwarz, dj hell, ame and more. alex was soon following his ep, with a remix for arnaud le texier on ivory machine ep from bcr005. again receiving huge praise and support from his peers. when hes not at the helm of the bass culture express, alex can be found releasing work on such highly acclaimed labels as cadenza, bosconi and tenax. whilst his output may not be as prolific as some, each and every release stands the test of time. this may be down to alexs unique and unnerving ability to cross genres, however we feel its simply down to the unrivalled quality of his productions. a quality that is once again in evidence on his, en pensant ep. four wonderfully varied original cuts and a summery phil weeks remix that range from the smooth as silk, vocal-lead title track, to the deep and elegantly twisted coco verde.

the new leena welcomes a very new guest to the mobilee family - belgian born jona - who having been discovered by get physical in 2005 has since had a series of strong releases on labels such as supplement facts, planet e and resopal. a born musician, jona originally studied the guitar and was heavily influenced by blues and jazz music, until he fell in love with electronic music and graduated from the school of audio engineering. his wealth of musical training has supported his desire to continually explore new sound perspectives and forge is own and unique sound signature, something not so common in the electronic music world of today. >this time< is a three track strong ep that takes brings together a variety of musical themes. whilst >drifting away< and title track >this time< both have grooving bass lines perfect to shake up the dance floor, >resonate< has layers of drifting synths creating more of a dreamy summers day atmosphere. a debut release from an artist we hope to be seeing a lot more of in the future….enjoy

we present you the newly born imprint outernational recordings. the kick off for this unique vinyl series is by basque county native kastil who sets the right tone with three wonderful disco edits at a mid-tempo / slomo pace. since uploading these tracks to his soundcloud page, the feedback has been enormous. side a contains the long, slow and loopy back to philadelphia, where kastil cleverly plays with the vocals and delay and creates a highly tense build up. theres no doubt that some large players in the very popular disco edit culture will play this one out. on the b1 side you find the track smd. a track which received great feedback by some key figures on soundcloud. this track is the ultimate pre-lude for the summer. fortunately, this is being released just early enough to enjoy this during the european and northern american summer. with again beautiful vocals floating through the track, this track definitely reminds one of a hot day in the local park. the b2 track is called rolls royce. perfect as the last track of this release since its a long edit which ends with a very atmospheric piano solo that keeps on floating through the last few minutes of the track. all and all, these edits will definitely make some heads turn after the date of release. supported by: cosmic boogie, dicky trisco, the legendary 1979 orchestra, sleazy beats recordings, ben la desh, 78 edits, osvaldo wilson, mannmademusic, gitchell moore

pattern select aka milton jackson and show-b have gone well and truly back to the raw on this, their first collaborative work together and debut ep for delusions of grandeur. both producers have been busy on some top quality projects just recently with milton jackson remixing recloose for planet e and show b producing for robert owens on compost. the pair met at a party in munich, promptly fell in love, and soon enough pattern select was born. kicking off tale of the tape sees the pair go deep n dark on this low-slung groove where demonic laughter rides the driving hats and insesant crashes until the filtering arpeggiated synth line joins the fun. tale of the dub gives us a stripped back, dub-infused version which goes a little lighter on the craziness of the first version but without losing any of the deep, hypnotic funk.

after his last ep on stil vor talent in 2009, born-and-bread berliner sascha braemer is now back with three fresh tracks for the spring of 2011. in the meantime, his funky minimal jump-up tech-house has led him to release on labels as prolific as kindisch or dirtybird. things kick off with >belle<, a ferocious attack on your groove muscles and dancing bones. this tune glides as softly as the wings of an angel while shaking you around like a giant would a dwarf. the up-beat groove is based on a great cut-up vocal sample and some animating synthesizer stabs. sweet! then, >felicitous<, which is considerably slower than the previous two tracks. still, the vocal on this one and the deep electronic body come together perfectly to form a deep and dirty suckerpunch to your euphoria synapses. last up is >people< keeps the effected vocal approach and that really makes this tune. imagine a super deep bassline, some wonderfully syncopated hi-hat trickles and a constant groove to underline the power of the vocal. this track is club pop - so deep and yet so magic it will run shivers down your spine on the breakdown. sascha braemer seems to have put all his experience of peak-time club moments to early morning afterhour visions into his own transcript of signature sound. this is not be mistaken, this is simply on-point

lazydisco is a project of fred oliveira of rockets fame. after getting playlisted by names like alan braxe, duck sauce, a-trak, treasure fingers, aeroplane or in flagranti, fred decided it was time to explore something a little different from his regular house antics. so in 2010, lazydisco was born. describing the typical lazydisco track is a hard endeavour, although some might resort to just using the word sexy. things can get crafty behind the analog synths, the keyboards and the occasional live drums. lazydisco is influenced by many things and many people. often relaxed, often dirty - like life, one might say. “more tigers” is lazydisco?s debut ep, out on discotexas. remixers include in flagranti, c90s, xinobi, mirror people and mode. a highly anticipated release, which can already be heard in clubs (and pool parties) worldwid

claque musique ready to unleash their latest offering, from an artist who has become a key member of the claque family, rio padice. having in recent years devoted time to learning the production techniques of the 90s, blending the use of software, hardware and sampling, his productions, unlike so much of the current trend for looking back, have a mature and studied classic sound and feel to them. his work this year has seen firmly rooted in the front of the most discerning of record boxes.rio follows his remix of micro_on (claquemusique10) with his very own woodland ep. as we have accustomed to, rio delights us with another selection of tracks that see him exploring and bringing together the best in classic sounds with his very own fresh contemporary spin. the beautiful trip through woodland opens the ep. a dreamy bass-heavy acidic number. much different is ocrons land, with its static sounds and almost industrial feel. mutant camels with its bubbling bass, rasping hats and dromedary movement rounds out the originals. remixing the title track is padova born alex picone. renowed for his releases on bass culture, mus and cadenza and fresh from the success of his fahrenheit single, alex ramps things up for the dancefloor on woodland, replacing the original acid line with some fresh guitar licks. perfect!

all the hype around xilents skills at 140bpm should in no way overshadow his skills at other tempos. the dnb juggernauts of >spectre< and >multishapes< have been tearing up the clubs in the hands of those lucky enough to have the dubs, with dj hype and crissy criss also both dropping >multishapes< on their kiss and 1xtra radio shows. the single most exciting thing about this ep is the future possibilities for xilent. a star is quite possibly born.

originally born in the south of england into a musically gifted family, mark reeve received the major order to be a dj and to play electronic dance music when he moved to the rhein-main area in 1998. mark is now known today as a non stop dj and producer , as an artist he has now had his most important releases on cult label defected with with düsseldorf-based tapesh, solo on traumschallplatten (sep 2011), for monique musique or neurotraxx - marks tracks are always a mixture between dancefloor moovers including groovy rhythms and big baselines. in his cocoon debut, reeve presents himself in all his stylistic bandwidth: >daybreak< combines a highly-functional tribal bass pumping station with such mighty dub chords that make the sun shine even in in the most remote corner of the club, while >morning on mars< gives priority to the hypnotic effect of percussion. mark reeve is definitely a name to remember in 2011!

in 2010, when we started to revitalise the tresor label, we reached out to some of the greatest artists, not just in tresors history, but in techno. late 2010 we sat down in a paris cafe, just off the pompidou centre, with jeff mills, on a rainy, otherwise unremarkable and miserable day. but on this day we were given two very strong pieces of advice. >hire a fanastic a&r and sign sleeparchive<. so here we are, an artist that has been on the underground radar of the hacker, miss kittin and richie hawtin makes his debut on tresor records with >ronan point<. >the tracks developed from parts and loops i had created for my live set and always wanted to make tracks from. after a little break i took with the sleeparchive project the record for tresor was a great opportunity to make these tracks.< sleeparchives live sets have graced the dance floors and sound systems of berghain, arena club and bloc weekend, so it is fair to say that the 4 tracks that make up ?ronan point are not just tried and tested, but actually born on the dance floor. >> press: dj magazine techno single of the month.

set time-dials to 2011 and engage. here we have two slick, italian producers bottin and rodion, they both may have (professionally) lost their first name, but they sure both make up for that with their italian style and extra analog-burbleness. their original vocoder nugget and dub both feature on the vinyl. for remix action we teleport over to argentina where toomy disco (a pretty spacey name already) delivers us some remix action. slick grooves, flowing bass guitar and more shine than a sparkly new saturn 5.
unless an intergalactic born space-plague fuses our brains back to reality, expect more cosmic lunacy in 2012. get your submissions in now producers.

horror disco melds these soundtrack and aural ideas with a 100% disco album. one that drifts away from most of the soulful elements of disco and one that is dirtier, warmer and less polished than contemporary scandinavian nu-disco. the album is wide and varied - slashdance gives us a goblin-esque robo-vocoder-disco, roger bacon is pure cosmic groove, whilst the italo-disco-thriller disco for the devil features the vocals of italian-based, uk-born session master douglas meakin – who back in the day was lead vocalist in simonetti s easy going and crazy gang cult disco projects.

reissue - cass mccombs, singer-songwriter born in northern california in 1977 and currently residing somewhere in that state, is set to release wit’s end, his fifth-and-a-half album and third on domino, on april 11th. the result of two years recording in various homes and studios in california, new york, new jersey and chicago, wit’s end was produced by cass with ariel rechtshaid, with whom he also created catacombs.sounds that conjure the colors purple and black, this is his darkest record to date. it seems he is going deeper into the mania of a man buried alive inside his self-made catacombs, banging the stone walls, crying to be let out, and enjoying the quiet away from the outside world. however, he is not a man afraid of his own shadow, for in this environment of complete darkness, no shadows can be cast. this is a world of total feeling. here, words become a catalyst away from the slavery of arbitrary thought and toward feeling.

summer 2010. neuland. here, we were met schieres and his machines. lovely. this ep is dedicated to neuland and zucker. we love you – we miss you – we will miss you. dont think about what you have lost. warm nights, between burning couches and nothingness. empty ideas were born. we are lost and people are sure to forget.

somewhat of a metaphor for britain, welcome to goon island is born from the great british art school tradition, the core of the band having met at art college in sothend, vivid, interesting, expansive and far-reaching, an aesthetic that seeps into everything they do from their other-worldly videos via intriguing photos to extra curricular activities such as training dogs to dance. yet such apparent frippery shouldn t disguise their uncanny ability to pen rather fine songs, as welcome to goon island attests.

london-based thomas feriero, aka avatism, didnt buy his first vinyl when he was ten years old, nor was he born out of the love of two underground jazz musicians. he had an extremely dull and standard childhood and can barely play the drums. yet somehow, he is able to formulate techhouse tracks that are classy and artful while remaining dancefloor-functional.

nice price deal !!! the music of the cologne based duo kitbuilders can be described as electro with scifi-punkrock-energy and a grebo edge. a remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of female singer ripley. in the kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the sparks in their moroderphase, chris and cosey, neu and devo. but their music is not 80s retro stuff, they include a lot of futuristic and fresh elements in their songs. after a handful of 12 inch singles and compilation appearances on labels like electrecord, world electric, vertical and ersatz audio, >wake up< was the debut full length from the duo. the us magazine xlr8r called it >...an excellent hybrid of the past and present<. alongside american outfits like adult. and fischerspooner, kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. equal parts moroder and liquid sky, the duo of benway and ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness.

tin mans voice is infamous, romantic, an expression of love, life and beauty, but also slowly fades away, covered in sleaze. and so is his music, a melodic and rhythmically bass driven art work somewhere in between acid, house, electronica and synth pop. great. don t miss his album perfume which is set to release in spring 2011.
