wer mit freddy fischer und seiner cosmic rocktime band noch nicht so recht vertraut sein sollte, braucht vielleicht doch erst ein paar stichworte. orientierungshilfen. da hört man also einen jazzrock, den es aber geradewegs auf den tanzboden zieht. und disco. auch diese lässige eleganz der lieder, die manfred krug mal gesungen hat in den siebzigern und damit selbst die ddr etwas swing schenkte, wenigstens für einen moment. und jetzt vielleicht noch eine weitere glitzerkugel voll disco dazu. das steckt man dann alles in einen schicken smoking, und schon steht da ein freddy fischer da.

excellent deep disco house madness, incl the rhythm odyssey mix

born in canada, now residing in leeds, 21 year old producer nathan micay - bwana is the latest artist to join the somethinksounds roster. with zero production experience, bwana only started making tunes at the start of 2011. fast forward 18 months and he has already signed tracks to canadian label infinite machines (over and done ep), to mad decent imprint the jeffrees (cant you just / this is real) and featured upon the playlists of tastemakers mary anne hobbs, rob da bank and rinse fms monki.

kojak giant sounds strike gold once again with another killer 12inch. hailing from finland kojak giant sounds has released from the likes of maxxi soundsystem, rayko, young edits, nicholas and many more. this time pat les stache takes the reins with two tracks that will slay the dancefloor. limited copies.

the excellent lumberjacks in hell imprint has served up some fine edits in its short lifespan to date, most notably from chicagos mutant beat dancer traxx and the labels latest release turns to two other windy city residents renowned for their collections and skills. rahaan needs little introduction for the disco loving community with essential drops on stillove4music, disco deviance and more, whilst mr sounds runs the excellent bring the heat website. this twelve is all about the a side >rainin bleeding boy< which puts a well loved uk ebm couple through the dub laden beatdown grinder - though djs will get plenty of mileage out of both tracks on the b side with >flip side< some supremely chopped up disco funk and >war i declare< a stomping and heavily filtered bomb.
comes on blue, marbled vinyl.

once again the leeds born, london based producer dazzles with his abstract take on house, garage and everything inbetween. deep in stuttering samples, pirate bass tones and snapping 808s the talented young producer futher develops his colourful style and fuzz laden sounds pallete. eliphino never fails to amaze. always floor friendly, original and boundary pushing.

roundabout sounds is back in 2012 with a project that was over a year in the making. the power ep is a tribute to the late aaron-carl that contains the last track he made before he left us. as a result, we gathered a handful of supporting artists to put together this double-vinyl (only) project. rest in peace aaron-carl and thank you for the memories!

the ninth release from the mainrecords shop, on its eponymously titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from matt star, plus a remix from perseus traxx. with well over three dozen releases under his belt in one guise or another matt star aka mattias schildger is no stranger at all to production of high quality electronic music, as this latest ep clearly displays. happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with its tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of ed dmx, while others lend more of a chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the cars windscreen. perseus traxx delivers a subtle remix that remains true to the elements of the original and while adding a booming kick and some of his own production techniques, influences and grit to the mix, shows he isnt stuck in one genre or sound.

so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

brill smoothin / soulful deep / disco house

fiakun comes back again, after having released el_txef_as debut album and having received good vibes, this time to present from the deepest of the basque country, the oren bi guys. they have signed this fiakun 006 which is received with much love. the pair of musicians and in turn we could say that music lovers, focused the ep on the hottest house with some r&b leanings. besides, they are making use of synthesizers like the most exclusive moog to delight us with some arpeggios that evoke a purer era. these two hits are accompanied with a remix by sergio santos.

2012 - we are milleniumized neo, more than ever before. 1993, when techno was all over the place, german experts tommi eckart (at that time not 2raumwohnung yet) and ralf hertwig (at that time not palais schaumburg anymore) released a track, which found its way out there as a legendary underground-club classic in germany,england, benelux and france: the beat just goes straight on and on. its been sold out for years, but djs still play it in the clubs and it never lost its beat. now in 2012, almost 20 years later, the vinyl reissue being released, including the original cut and a remix by matthew styles & tobi neumann. it just goes on and on, enjoy!

great new kojak giant sounds 12 inch straight out of finland. deep euphoric vocal house music, while the b side is more stripped back with haunted vocals. very limited copies ... these wont last long.

the 2 halves of zoovox, king ludd and night manager, split this 12 inch with 2 tracks each. beautiful neoteny is a fresh number with incredible synth work & is followed by the light-hearted bucket brigades. the sound of sound and squitty, meet squilly on the flip are true synth workouts!

introducing black orange juice for 2012 … a cosmic crew of dance floor saviours. nomads of the musical galaxy who are crazy in love and love craze. brought together by ossie of hyperdub records fame. his >tarantula< track was selected in the fact top 50 for 2011, not forgetting the awesome joe goddard >gabriel< remix for greco roman which took his sound to another level and which won him fans the world over… the all singing black orange juice, found it’s sweet spot when ossie recruited two of his closest compadres, paul black and orial, partners in crime with a history of gospel choirs, r&b quartets and lending their vocals to some of londons finest underground heros. they blend the best elements from the uk undergound with a nod to the talents of roska, jamie jones, scratcha dva and mosca, and a wave to those infectious vocal-house sounds reminiscent of hercules and love affair and azari & iii. the sound is both unique and dangerously infectious…

der lang vergriffene longplayer von 1981 als vinyl-wiederveröffentlichung! dieses legendäre album ist ein arte muss für jede ernsthafte black uhuru lp sammlung - die musik wurde im harry j studio mit den besten musikern jamaikas aufgenommen, und die gesangsspuren im king tubbys studio sowie der finale mix von produzent prince jammy realisiert!

originally recorded for chris blackwell of island records the rights of ‘life of contradiction’ were then given to joe higgs who released the album in jamaica and the u.k. in 1975. it was immediately obvious that this was a unique collection coming from a completely different direction to the other reggae releases of the period. although joe had first recorded some of the songs in the early sixties for studio one it was as if he was at last able to realise a vision of his own music that had previously been denied to him: either by financial constraints or from not having the right situation with the right musicians.

das nächtliche gemunkel am tresen bei bier und klaren war irritierend gewesen: aufs neue album, so drummer zimmermann und basser strohmeier, würde das lo fat orchestra auch kinderchöre und ein streichquartett packen. man dachte mit grauen an the wall, konzeptalben-bombast, artrockkacke und hoffte halb, das sei nur der berüchtigte schwarzwälder humor. jetzt ist the second word is love da. nicht mit kinder- aber mit chören und natürlich mit streichquartett. die befürchtungen zerbröseln im nu, wenn im opener be honest die bassdrum nagelt, die elektrizität in der luft rauscht und singt, bevor der sägezahnbass und schmids gesang und orgel einsetzen. alles gut! alles besser! alles: mehr!

the first release for their rogue cat sounds imprint is the >no stress express!<, a beautiful piece of swampy psychedelic disco/rock. the 11min original takes you on a dark ethereal adventure thru spiky guitar riffs, mutant brass stabs, melting warm fender rhodes piano, silky deep synth chords, an array of sexy afro percussion, heavy dub live bass, and a lush but eerie live string section which all comes on like a dinosaur l jam session via a david mancuso loft party! so go on and take a walk on the rogue side of town baby!
