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.

this ep s lead track comes in form of a deep dub techno aesthetic at an adequate 128 bpm while not neglecting warm and melodic elements. “box drop” stands in the tradition of höppner s interest in musical detail rather than blatant functionality: aside from his recognizable kick drums and basslines nick lays out plenty of harmonic layers and effects such as string arrangements, leading synth pads, now trickling then rotating sound patterns, making this cut as elegiac and frisky as it’s muscular and straightforward.

in the beginning of 2017, nightmare factory records will put out their first vinyl release. for this special occasion, the label s owner electrorites put together a unique va record called interweavings vol.1 comprised of smashing techno tunes which will shatter the dance floor into pieces. arween s hurry indeed doesn t take its time and rushes forward like blood through one s tempels when trying to make it in time - or when raving fast and hard, which is exactly what the track encourages you to do. the synth doesn t have time to unfold in a melody and stays on one spot, driven by a harsh beat which doesn t go under 137 bpm. the sour sweat doesn t drop any slower when state of mind by electrorites hits the speakers. incisive synth erupts through the dense wall of iron and steel which crushes and shatters under the surge of the drum kick. the hungarian techno warlock gabeen returns to nightmare factory with disappearance , a guaranteed dancefloor banger for those who prefer to feel the beat deeply in their viscera. the enigmatic duo vertical spectrum rounds up the release with andromeda collision course . this tune is weirdly soothing thanks to the sweeping, high-pitch rustling sounds and swirling trickles, but is still turbid by the sediment of neurotic, angry beat

rune lindbaek joins bastedos on this new edition featuring two tracks from polar oposites of the bpm spectrum. side a from bastedos features a pacey electronic number with flavours of both rock and disco and a singer making the asertion that i just wanna dance, i just wanna boogie, surely any listener will be left with a similar desire when they hear this at their favourite discotetheque. rune slows it down a gear or two for the flip with his version of supermann, this is a perfect end of the night track that would melt the hips of even the man of steel.

der zweite teil der “haul & pull up”-ep-trilogie, die ihre vollendung mit dem album “haul & pull up” im april 2017 finden soll, erscheint - wie auch dessen vorgänger - als limitierte 12” mit vollfarbcover und banderole. das vinyl des münchener dj- und produzenten-duos enthält drei vielgestaltige, mit prominenten mitstreitern eingespielte clubtracks, die zwischen grime, dancehall, dub und techno lästige genrebegrenzungen verwischen und mit gut getimtem groove zum subsonischen bassinferno ansetzen. den auftakt macht das stück “goodbye”. bei der kollaboration mit dem noise-rap-king gonjasufi handelt es sich um ein außerordentlich dunkel gefärbtes acid-drone, das auf gitarrenwänden und lärmenden drums reitet. “pop off” setzt über footwork-beats und zeitlupen-bässen die vokalakrobatik des langjährigen schlachthofbronx-mitstreiters doubla k in szene. deutlich sportlicher geht es auf dem mit warrior queen realisierten track “u mad” zu, der mit mindestens 160 bpm die gelüste der uptempo-headbanger unter uns befriedigt.

johannes dropping 4 brand new house cuts. a side with smooth disco house fantasies, imagine just a slightly cheaper version of a soundstream record. “town” on the flip side comes more like well …. think of tiga releasing on playhouse anno 2004 and you get there. maybe not. oh yes jay ain’t no singer but hey… dj bonus tool attached to make up for it.

finnitus is back with its first 12- release! spanning the entire a side, superkind, consisting of rulefinn and kim durbeck, delivers a driving disco bass line, epic strings and screaming laughter, which the glue dubbed as the weirdest thing we ve heard in our entire lives . on the flip, rulefinn drops just try , a nine minute slow jam, slowly building to a climax worthy of finishing your perfect night at the club, and let the ok music play , an intense disco drum tool in his favourite bpm range(130s).

&#8203,,one of the foundation artists on samurai horo, asc is an essential part of the labels rebirth with the ’geocentric systems’ ep. taking the grey area sound into heavier, darker territory, ‘aphelion’ and ‘perihelion’ formed the core of this ep with their fervent bpm trickery. these tracks are techno rebuilt with dizzying sensory loss, adding a weightless intensity that feels like a constant attack. ’passel’ and ‘geocentric systems’ offer a dubbed out version of the approach, heavy on the intricate sound design that has become the asc trademark.

raining colors was recorded after returning from the bpm season in mexico.inspired by the slow tempos and crazy rhythms heard while dancing at the sacbe jungle party this was the result.remembrance of breath was created for our performance before last years desert hearts. we felt it would compliment the surroundings of this wonderful outdoor festival.solar flare response was originally created for fun using our friend, colin c s, alchemy plug-in sound pack essential alchemy for loopmasters. we were so excited with how it turned out we decided to turn it into a full piece. these songs reflect the deeper and heavier side of our creative output and the kind of music we enjoy playing at night after the freaks come out.

meda fury welcome back oakland resident damon bell for another accomplished ep of rugged cosmic grooves and tribal pressure. bell is riding a rich wave of form with a killer recent release on don’t be afraid, and even more fire on the burek label, not forgetting his impressive debut last year on his regular home, the mighty deepblak - he’s a proven master at fusing afro-centric rhythms, rich keys and off-kilter pads into an urgent and contemporary form of house music that deftly eschews cliche. ‘akebu-lan’ commences the ritual with a gospel vocal loop over pumping 808 kicks and tranced out swollen pads, giving way to ecstatic fender rhodes chords and climatic piano, reminiscent of robert hood - is this bell s fastest bpm track yet? loose/live jazz keys riff throughout ‘ether’ creating a warm rich miasma of sound against the distressed percussive gyrations and sinister drones. hypnotic synth riffs tumble over the powerful drum-track in ‘altered visions’ creating a deliciously hypnotic chug. drawing the ep to a close, deepblak and pan cohort african sciences joins bell for the sizzling ‘kinetic energy’, a sleazy, skronking cut of slurred moog bass and atonally pitched toms wrestling with thumping kicks and whispered vox pummel the listener

call it future-step. call it deep-step. call it autonomic. call it whatever you wish, but one thing is for sure - hidden element hailing straight from kiev, ukraine fail to make their music disappoint. with a fresh take on electronic sounds ranging from breathtaking beat-less layers to +/- 170 bpm heavy hitters, these two have been making waves in the industry for some time already, releasing on 22:22, alphacut, med school, pinecone moonshine, and translation - to name a few. but it is absys records that is the home for their full-length album entitled “together”.

nawak is back! you better get prepared!

the second outing from btg follows, in tradition, their 2 originals and 2 remixes format. this time round toyc creates a slower paced dance floor obliterator titled ‘kicks’ sounding like a wonky laser gun trapped inside a broken 808 landing somewhere between broken techno and bass. on the remix project mooncircle and 20/20 ldn affiliated deft deconstructs and reconstructs toyc’s track into a maximalist beast fusing the current sounds of 160 bpm 170 bpm and half­time dnb with the technical precision of amon tobin. up next the booty­shaking stormer they call itoa, known for releases on bad taste and being featured in storming 160­/170bpm sets by djs and tastemakers such as om unit and sam binga. ‘snake pass’ is a classic itoa track, playful bouncing subs and flickering percussion and shards of vocal, landing somewhere between footwork and booty bass. btg co­founder etch sets the pace with his remix of snake pass, coming through with a schizophrenic beats influenced sub heavy stepper that slowly evolves into a breakbeat onslaught.
dj support: nightwave, sully, addison groove, deadboy, horse meat disco, mj cole, barely legal, shadow child, amy becker, pathaan/bbc worldwide, boy 8-bit, blackdown/rinse fm, 2 bad mice, synkro/akkord, randomer, my nu leng, craig richards, foul play/moving shadow, dj zinc, dj orgasmic/origami sound... + many more

‘sound of palladio’ is the first in a four part series of limited 12- pressed to 180g coloured vinyl, with a single piece of cover artwork commissioned from italian artist nerog spanning throughout the series. never ready records’ inaugural release sees venetian techno & bass house experimentalist munstac veer between the echoing sub bass chambers and angular staccato momentum of “the cathedral” to the more drawn out drum rolls and flutter of “the theatre”. along the way, east london’s spatial helms a mighty 132 bpm jungle break refix of “the cathedral” whipping up that trademark hectic fervor the infrasonics label boss has previously delivered on the likes of “wncl & stillcold”

its the music of the space that extends between oceans and mountain slopes. its the music of the space that is much bigger and much more adventurous than the four walls of a club look like. its the latest record on acker, and it orbits around a song from il civetto. the band from berlin is a wonderfully multicultural bunch. their sound is reminiscent of gypsy, folk or swing, but at the same time it doesnt really fit any of these labels. liberté ana is a perfect example. monolink turns this track into a groovy downbeat tune that vibrates much higher than its low bpm count - the perfect soundtrack for laid-back afternoons or afterhours. pophop does what he does best: party. however, between the catchy bassline and the tight percussions of his remix theres still a lot of space for the soul of liberté ana. umami goes even further and creates an ecstatic banger that has everything it takes to be played during the prime time on the dance floor.

since its launch at the bpm festival at the beginning of the year, hector s vl recordings imprint has be making its mark as a fresh breeding ground for some of the finest talent the underground has to offer. to finish off the year as strong as they started, hector called upon one of london s finest selectors seb zito to host the fourth release of 2016, with his four-track my sound ep

cbrb s latest triptych for phantasy takes their sound into a more dystopian direction, a world of concrete shopping centres, the occult and physically irresistible repetition. the title track “mecanique sauvage” is a muscular industrial / outsider house track, a stop start rollercoaster that constantly intensifies. one part a brutal exercise in poise and restraint, and one part undiluted disco excess. a contradictory beast of a track. something of a epic (at over 8 mins long) “children of the monolith” drops the tempo to 100 bpm and takes the listener on a very different kind of trip. a widescreen composite of tribal drums, sinister synths and the beguiling mantras of an arcane cult. don t touch the brown acid... “soda jerk” is the everything but the kitchen sink moment on the ep, a hymn to over indulgence. unhinged electronic body music, a gloriously relentless assault on the senses. resistance is futile!

break records are being released at an astounding rate. yet most of the sounds and samples used are just the same recycled material from the last dozen break albums. this leaves the dj who is looking for new material to create with, disappointed. that is… until the arrival of grime-n & starfunkle’s sushi breaks, a break record that is the compilation of a decade’s worth of crate digging, sampling and beat making.

wedish born christian smith is sitting firmly at the top of the electronic dance music industry. his outstanding productions over the years have set the bench mark high, releasing on a collection of the industry s most respected labels such as drumcode, cocoon, bedrock, minus and his very own tronic. 2016 has been a busy year so far for christian, his tronic label party series has been holding events worldwide, including the bpm festival and sonar off week, and an ever growing catalogue of releases not forgetting his most recent ep force majeure released in july on drumcode which immediately entered beatports techno top 10, straight in at no.8. this september, christian will release his third solo album titled input-output on his own tronic imprint. consisting of 11 original tracks, each one embodies christians message of creating real techno, with powerful percussions and melodic basslines throughout. input/output is an outstanding production offering some of the best driving techno you can expect from an artist like christian, with his trademark style incorporated in every track. it takes you on a journey, through a variation of sounds and textures, which still manage to cater to everyone s musical palate. synthesizers work their way throughout, alongside dark atmospheric harmonies and haunting vocals or that pounding kick drum in some of the heavier tracks. it never disappoints!

death on the balcony s ‘tides of fortune has been the subject of relentless -track id- requests pleading us to reveal the name of the artist and track since be-at-tv streamed the bpm performance of lee burridge and matthew dekay back in 2015. joined on the ep by three other tracks there s a cohesive feel to the two friends vibe. mysterious melodies drift in and out of the hypnotic grooves on rivers of sound that could have soundtracked a star trek episode from the original series. 1700 miles is delicate and deep with a simple infectious vocal sample. don t be deceived though. when played on a club system the kick drum and bassline draw you in while the atmospheric elements send the listener to otherworldly places. we feel rather privileged as this track is mark’s first solo outing from dotb under his new moniker “caramelli” and dotbs first full length on all day i dream. mark’s back in the band for memories of the future which completes the release with its funky bass and trippy ambience. close your eyes and be transported.

nice price deal !!! science fiction limited s fourth release, saturn, solidifies the italian duo s ability to navigate a wide range of emotion (& bpm), while retaining a consistency of style that mirrors all of their previous releases - these are four raw, banging, purely analogue tracks, each tirelessly rehearsed and recorded live.

drvg cvltvre (pinkman / viewlexx) returns to tutamen alongside label boss inca pax to form the second split 12” on the label. drvg cvltvre opens up in full space-age flight mode with “flock of starlings”, followed by the doom-laced beats of “watch the world go blind”.
on the flip, inca pax pushes the tempo above 130 bpm for a turbulent drum-assault in “get a copy of the deeds”, followed by a cut from the dubplate archives in the industrial echoes of “doldrums”.

daniele baldelli producer now has nothing to envy about daniele baldelli the dj. this is demonstrated by the authoritativeness of the first two 12”s of six in the series -cosmic temple” on the mondo groove label. what first strikes the eye are the covers, with fluorescent colors, which will form a patchwork created by aldo drudi (the designer of valentino rossi), a large mosaic that interprets garish aesthetics/logoa cosmic. but immediately after the music takes the stage: 3 tracks in -chapter 1- and 3 tracks in -chapter 2-, are able to tell the true mood of the imaginary baldelli’s sound and take them to a land of wonders. chapter 2: the phrasing of zircaloy, and still that yin and yang that composed krebs cycle, with burattini on synth, a race horse deep disco at 120 bpm that goes into stratospheres, and afelio, a lethargic space ballet at 90 bpm.

nice price deal !!! from the beginning, oktored has tried to keep himself away from the pigeonholing nature of the electronic dance scene. seamlessly blending early rave sounds with futuristic beats and melodies, he has really been coming into his own lately. from a young age, he has been into a multitude of different genres of music ranging from ambient to death metal. the next two releases will show just that. the first of which will be the more passive side of oktored.gemini 1 (or the good side) really brings together a feeling of old detroit style techno/house with some new moombahton flavour. the fact that he has been motivated by so many different styles and sounds becomes very apparent on tracks like relax and inéz, while he brings some real deep, future bass styling on the drifter. for fans of future sounds of 8 mile, this release will be a fantastic follow up ep. but that is only one side of our gemini friend. the follow up release, gemini 2 will showcase his darker, more aggressive side. delving into rough, uninhibited bass and beat tracks, oktored will begin to show just how deep his production can go

emel first album! and also first acid night album lots of first times... a splendid beautiful mental acid tribe ep, 160 bpm cruiser full of very thinlace sounds and surprising beats... true tunes bringing a unity to the album.

j-zbel returns with second ep on 12 dedicated to all amigos rest in fif. each sides results in a massive piece of freaky vibes and suggest to dance the hell out of you. this is cross-style ep from hard rave to one thousand bpm.

not so many things to say about this five all killer, no filler trax - except that this antonio ep is the perfect business card for the pescara guy in order to confirm himself as one of the most talented young-bloodied, rawness manufacturer around right now. from 130 bpm ghetto acid madness to a surf-house summer anthem such as -untitled- and the electro standout track -clara-. fasten your seat-belts and enjoy this ride provided by unintelligent trax outsourcing, milan.

birdsmakingmachine are back on track and continuing their series in style with bmm 007. kicking off things on a1, at 124 bpm, “the draft” is a joyful number that bursts with relentless energy while managing to fuse sharp metallic drum patterns with juggling ambient hooks. the more dancefloor-oriented track is nevertheless found on a2. as the title suggests, “area 52” is quite literally a journey through the unknown and mysterious, a metaphor for the deep minimal house amazon, a track that stands out with an extra subby bassline, swinging hihats and those ever-so-warm sequenced analog pads in the background. flip the record over and you find yourself with two slightly more industrial affairs, “the voice of kudha” on b1 offering a breakier alternative than it’s predecessors and “zagonity”, on b2, galloping its way to close off the record with shuffling vocal hits and an amalgamation of bouncing hats and snares.

nach seinem bpitch-debüt, der killer-maxi -velvet rag ep- (bpc316), kehrt der berliner produzent phon.o mit drei weiteren effektiven hybrid-tracks zurück. die -fractions ep- setzt sich mit dem hypnotischen drive von -run- in bewegung. bei 128 bpm geht es mit dem swingenden flow von -brooklyn shuffle- weiter. zum abschluss wartet mit -fractions- der emotionalere titeltrack, bei dem subsonische basslines und reduzierte percussion zunächst ein düsteres klangbild erzeugen, das spätestens durch die manipulierten vocals mit nachdenklicher melancholie konterkariert wird. zusammengefasst: phon.o is on fire right now!

following his l.i.e.s. lp last year and cccp 12 inch, 45 acp returns with a jaw dropping follow up. from scratchy ambience to dramatic slow tempo bpm cuts to melodic house tracks, 45 acp shines on this ep showing his versatility and reinforcing his reputation for strong song writing and composition. once again diverse enough for club or home listening, warm up or peak time. let the djs make the choice. another truly special ep from this up and coming producer. highly recommended.

the tenth release in the esd series comes from alan fitzpatrick himself. this double a-side release features full house , a full-force fitzpatrick bomb that rips up the dancefloor with a dizzying bleep melody that ping pongs back and forth above a typically tense, relentless groove. on the flip, the aptly named another way to go combines a 132 bpm rhythm of clattering hats and punchy kicks with intense keys to create a riotous stripped back techno jam

the new morforeces vinyls saga starts in this new year 2013.this new spanish label will contain a big load of electronics sides based on techno, but with a bpm range and various styles between the releases

vatos locos kingpin hector raises the bar after the stellar launch of his vl recordings label, with a solo follow up entitled jacuzzi killer ep . having appeared on many stalwarts of the underground house and techno label scene over the last 8 years including: desolat, mobilee, tsuba, 20:20 vision, 8bit, moan and decay, 2016 has witnessed the start of a new chapter in his already illustrious career with the birth of this new label project which launched with a bang at a packed vatos locos party at bpm mexico in january this year. jackuzzi killer is a four track ep packed full of that signature low slung, rolling groove we all know and love hector for. the cherry on top, a coveted and rare remix by detroit legend rolando will see vl recordings keep the music to the high standard that has become synonymous with hector and his vatos locos crew

new three track ep by los angeles producer silent servant. these will fly ...tip! known for his previous work with techno outfit sandwell district, juan mendez, since the dissolve of the group has tapped into his formative new wave/post punk and early electronic influences effectively applying them to his recent productions to create an engaging amalgamation of modern dance music. across this ep the sounds of bleep, ebm, and even minimal synth are all present...from deep floor movers to jagged edged 150 bpm skankers, mendez through these last years has been responsible for opening up minds on the floor and this ep proves to be a testament of such.

trip 006 is an album constructed with the songs of a varied collection of artists- fast and furious rhythms at times exceeding 140 bpm, live cuts, tracks with a song structure.

the second release is a split between the label owners lc12 and the rising star autre.
on the first side rumore and orphidal are opening the release with a 115 bpm proto-ambient track filled with liquid grooves and tribal elements while in the second cut they are showing us their faster and deep-acid side with conversations.
on the other surface autre is killing it with filter sessions 329, a mental techno trip did while experimenting with his new filter bank, an 808 and a juno 106. the b2 is an elegant track with a fred p-esque touch, suitable for every kind of dance floor.

taking a brief detour from his normal abrasive distorted sound, pinion showcases his broad spectrum as an artist with the desire ep. the title track, desire (half measure),starts out of the gate with a thunderous half beat 808 coupled with a swinging hihat pattern that slowly works ethereal vocal slices into the forefront, accompanied with a modulating synth pad that evolves into a defining melody. the sister track, desire (full measure), has very similar characteristics as the original, but allowing a little more edge for the dancefloor to build on. the third original track, recollection shifts gears quite drastically with a 135 bpm stormer with enough soul and melody to make the uncharacteristically fast tempo seem inconsequential. last, comes kyle geiger on remix duties to round out the ep with a housier take on desire, but still enough bite to fit nicely into any techno set.

superconcious present a further evolution for melbourne producer andras. looney house recorded with diy immediacy, this fresh 5 tracker takes subtle cues from cajmere, pal joey and lesser known 90s australian cuts culled from the 3rrr fm library. t.n.t.f. was the fastest track andrás had even written until revving the pajero offroad and clocking 138 bpm on always pumping. on the two mixes of gold coast, he finds heaven in a tourist hell, making hotel room acid before hitting the balcony for some cool breakbeat over a bacardi and coke. the absurdity continues with the horny australiana disco of soy boy, rounding off a welcome return to his inimitable solo work.
