marcel vogel has decided to celebrate the first five years of his edit-heavy lumberjacks in hell imprint in the only way he knows how: by putting together a sumptuous double pack stuffed with fresh new material. in keeping with the way the label has developed in recent times, the eight tracks blend the boundaries between original productions, illicit remixes and straight re edits. there s a celebratory, life affirming feel throughout, from the rubbery bass, d-train synths and rolling house grooves of giovanni damicos the break down, to the bluesy deep house brilliance of borrowed identitys queens bridge. highlights are plentiful elsewhere, too, from the hustlin electrofunk meets disco of vogel s own come on, to the killer synth solos and fuzzy bits of tim jules thrilling slap beat.

part two of the a made up sound 007/008 double drop. killer pan-around beats and morsecode-like pads build towards sonic mayhem on the a-side, while the b-side sees the highly anticipated half hour jam on a borrowed synth finally get its release.

borrowed music return to wax see s a release that very nearly didn t see the light of day. between the years of 1995-99, toka project were writing tracks at diy s studio and releasing ep s with their label, s4g. these tracks were stored on dat tape (remember) and left for release at a later date. when the toka boys moved into their own place the dats were misplaced and presumed lost for good. unknown to anyone at the time, the tracks had simply been placed on a hard drive and forgotten about, until now. so, borrowed is very proud to present a slice of unreleased 90s house just the way we like it

the panorama bar series on ostgut ton returns with volume 6 and brings ten new exclusive tracks on two eps all taken from the “panorama bar 06“ mix compilation by panorama bar and berghain resident ryan elliott. part i features contributions from newworldaquarium, roman flügel, terrence dixon, borrowed identity and tuff city kids

weightausands music is born out of the crash between expectations and daily praxis. a dub-infused, non linear array of data in which memories, obsessions, in the shape of sound pieces borrowed from friends and collected from the most various sound sources (even cannibalizing dance music power cliches such as the amen break), are arranged to enter a psychic cage system set to take advantage of their raging power. the resulting tracks sound like jungle rave hits echoing from outside time. side b contains a doomy aquarian remix of by morkeblå, and a remix by concrete cave inhabitant heith of an unreleased track, produced with no previous listening of the original.

this is it, the first release from our man from the dirty south! anaxanders talent is obvious, he has been producing different types of music and has been releasing on labels like local talk or dame music.

supported by: sebo k, knee deep, dvs1, rainer trüby, kyodai, julietta, jacques renault, nibc, robert rodriquez

growing up in the deep south of germany with multi ethnic friends and big interest in many different music genres of the world, borrowed identity built his wide knowledge in music. this variety in his musical taste is also the reason why he is working under different aliases producing a big variety of sound from ambient to house to experimental music and everything inbetween.

after the excellent reception of the first instalment, ander-trax is back yet again with more supremely crafted tracks from label head and all round gentleman alex-ander. nobody really expected such talent to emanate from coatbridge, did they? then again, wasnt the fella responsible for that blueboy *remember me* thing from coatbridge? maybe that was airdrie.

guy gerbers supplement facts imprint signals the end of 2012 with a various artist sampler entitled things have changed ep. featuring a few household names alongside some future stars, alexkid, borrowed identity & mechanical soul brother, gab rhome and andrew grant & lomez, all appear on this release filled with quality and diversity.

borrowed language returns with their second release this year, and the second collaborative effort to date from chicago-based producer/dj jeff pietro & label owner israel vines. following jeff pietros future classic >still< (charted by surgeon, peter van hoesen, silent servant, and many others) and justin iveys exemplary >apparition bay< (which won favor by the likes of rob hall and dj pete) was never going to be an easy task, but vines & pietro prove that they are more than up to the challenge – this is perhaps an even stronger statement of intent than their earlier joint effort, >distance no object< (blx-2).
limited pressing of 350 copies, first 200 on white vinyl).

2011 was a banner year for borrowed language – both the split 12 inch from jeff pietro & israel vines (blx-2 distance no object) and jeff pietros definitive >still< 10 inch (blx-3) garnered plaudits from all corners of the globe and were charted and played by the likes of surgeon, miles whittaker (of demdike stare fame), peter van hoesen, xhin, and many others. we kick off 2012 with this astonishing 4-track ep from detroits justin ivey, and if this is anything to go by, its going to be a hell of a year… justin ivey has been making uncompromising and challenging electronic music as dj adjust (and lowsh as well as theek) since the nineties, and he is also the founder of the beloved and highly influential cult imprint low res. while low res has always released records that reside somewhere on the extreme end of the electronic music spectrum (i.e. davros and ablecain) ivey isnt a purist - in fact, he is a true enthusiast of all types of electronic music, and it certainly shows on this 4-track ep.
limited edition of 200 copies on white vinyl.

borrowed language returns with their third installment of genre agnostic electronics. following the explosive release of unltd & israel vines >distance no object< ep (featured in millie & andreas superb lwe podcast, and charted by the likes of dj pete & grovskopa) was no easy feat, but jeff pietro proves to be more than up to the task with this brilliant 2-track 10 inch. as with earlier releases on borrowed language, this effort exemplifies the continuing refinement of the labels aesthetic. while some influences are clearly detectable, this is not just cannon fodder, there is enough attention to detail and panache on display here to distinguish pietros take on techno/bass music from his peers. the results are polished, but not without sharp edges, brutal, but elegant, functional, but not faceless.

hot on the heels of the highly acclaimed borrowed 4 comes the next installment. after the eighties-fest of its predecessor, borrowed 5 brings us up to date(ish) with a couple of funked-up dj-friendly house stormers guaranteed to make your dancefloor move! track a kicks things off in style with a couple of naughty samples from a cartoon monkey band (who could that be?) building into clav keys and vocoded vocals. a party tune! ,pure and simple. miss this at your peril! track b takes things deeper with a locked-in and tracky groove built for the early hours. check out the vocal snips and acid riffs!. this has been doing the rounds for a few weeks and feedback has been crazy, a must have!

clinks next installation brings a new artist to its catalogue, featuring the work of new yorks acclaimed brooklynite, adultnapper. these tunes are loaded with buoyant percussion and peak-time concepts via synthesizer sampling and manipulation, hence the title, >borrowed keys<. adultnapper is most recently noted for his highly publicized mix compilation and release on steve bugs label, audiomatique, and in addition to clink he has work coming up on pokerflat and crosstown rebels. he is also the owner of the ransom note imprint, and through many years of dedication to the nyc tech-house/minimal scene, he has become a new york underground icon. he first captured our eyes nearly 7 years ago for his insanely popular sunday boat parties in manhattan, titled matter:/form, which later became a tech-house imprint featuring many of the uk icons such as terry francis and eddie richards

this classic danny styles track was originally released on lucky spin recordings and the masters have long been lost. danny has managed to find the original disks and has painstakingly recreated the original using those old akai s1000 & atari disks with a borrowed atari 1040ste and akai s1100 (thank to peter argyle for this!). there was also a previously unreleased mix of life is a roll on the disks which has also been brought back to life and can now be heard for the first time in 25 years.
