paper recordings continue their journey back to plastic with another vinyl release once again proving why they remain one of uks best loved labels. jamie l is a mysterious figure of undisclosed origin and history who fits in to the moodymann / theo parrish mold of heavy future disco, which his new production >(what we saw) in the burg< nails. it is a heavy leftfield groove laid over broken house beats with a filtered bass, samples and leftfield vibe. the detroit pad creeps up to the break and filters in and out as the track works its way through for locked down dance floor business. next up, havana candy breaks out the analogue and takes things deeper and techier. with a rolling bass and tweaking acid line, it cuts to a rhodes before filtering down and riding back to the heads down groove. cottam steps up for paper for the first time and demonstrates what all the fuss is about with a very special mix. clocking in at 9.41 it is deep, tough soulful house that crosses the 4/4 divide from techno to disco and deep house to soul.

two of the uks most formidable names in techno step into the ring for a head to head on theory. stephen brown is a man who certainly needs no introduction, and his knack of channeling the best of detroit innovation and adding his own distinct flavours shows no sign of letting up. on >fuego< and >polar< brown takes us further into the jacking zone, his signature lush melodies driving up the rear until they envelope the tracks in a haze of deep and emotive vibrations, but never letting up on the tough rhythms. ben sims is drafted in to remix both tracks, leaving slicing shards of sound and roughing up the beat on his remix of >polar<, before delving into a hard-funk take of >fuego<. big business from two keepers of the true techno flame.

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth aren’t in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben valløe in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and valløe and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

sneaker social is back in business after the still much-lauded 002 release from al tourettes, this time with a ravey three track ep from breakthrough lithuanian producer zoé zoe. the eagle-eyed spotters out there may recognise the name from maya jane coles recent and excellent dj kicks mix as her >church< track sat comfortably at the heart of it.

we keep the good-times rolling along on the kolour mothership with the debut ep of deep-disco don debonair. we have been taking notes on this guy since we heard his first tune and ever-since, he just seems to move from strength to strength with each tune that is released. needless to say, when the opportunity arose for us to debut his first full-on solo ep, it was the epitome of a no-brainer for us. debonair shows us all facets of his musical capability with a melting pot of music ranging from the traditional debonair deep-disco sound to slo-mo beat-down business, deep-fused funk, with a dash of beautiful baleric sprinkles for good measure.

with the >closer ep< by gunnar stiller were welcome a new member to our family. gunnars first clap your hands record takes us directly to the dance floor and whet the appetite for long club nights. the 2 original tracks come with a nikola gala remix on top and nikola shows us once again, who has the most pounding groove in business!

nice price deal !!! being in the same gene pool as pat sharpes hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young djs career off course - deep in the discos of pop trash. fortunately for metaphi / metske, although still benefitting from the same glossy 90s locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to metaphis archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, idm, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. as metske the bpms hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, slow train blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of howlin wolf. at the same tempo spin states delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: sega mega drive boss level business. metaphis taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically wigflex over sharpflex, and in terms of nationality its mongrel, half notts, half eastern europe. with concious mentis hes keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

aroy dees mos deep does analogue deep and classic house like few other labels manage to represent today. this new black rain ep marks a return to the label for r-a-g aka aroy himself, g-string and marco spaventi. tip! opening with fog the deep vibe is set immediately. crispy snares, a chugging groove and plenty of eerie sonics swirl around into something with a keen sense of foreboding. the titular track then gets all chicago with its busy claps and nagging synth lines. the mood is a sombre one for those creepy back room sets and the analogue machinery used to make it gives a trademark warm and fuzzy feel to proceedings. the ep closes with a reprise of black rain. this beat-less rework deals in ambient synthscapes that drag you into their fold and never let you go. essential business once again from mos!

fresh new label project by venetian disco head bottin who needs no further introduction! after releases on eskimo, italians do it better, bear funk etc he has now decided to run his own business and press this new production on this psychedelic-looking piece of orange plastic. lust is definitely a hard throbbing and sweaty space disco house track with a hint of deranged prog madness. layers and layers of synths and bass lines build up in a long enthralling foreplay until heavy disco beats violently kick in, finally add spicy disco stabs and you have got yourself an incendiary tool sure to set things on fire. dont sleep on this one! crazy black plattered, orange glowing vinyl.

having hinted at upcoming collaborations on blkrtz over the last months in several interviews, deadbeat finally makes good on his promises offering an epic piece of heaviest dub business featuring the unmistakable vocoder stylings of canadian danuel tate of cobblestone jazz fame. title track lazy jane locks in a murderously tight 135 bpm steppers rhythm sure to appeal to fans of both the burial mix series and malas most head down exploits for dmz alike, with tates heaven streaking vocal elevating it to the realm of instant classic from the very first drop. the flipside s 909 dub meanwhile sends the originals synth and vocal lines deep into the echo chamber atop a reinforced version of the bass line and unrelenting 909 drum pattern to create the most classist, purified slice of big room dub techno you are likely to here all year.

dan ghenacia, the force behind the inaugural label of parisian house talent freak n chic, returns alongside his closest allies dyed soundorom and shonky to launch their new imprint – apollonia. sharing the same roots, the same tastes and the same musical vision, apollonia was a natural, if not inevitable progression for the three friends.well mainly focus on releasing our own music, but of course we are also really open-minded to sign any producers we all enjoy, says dyed.the label will serve as a platform for the trio&#8223,,,,,s productions, representing new beginnings based on a solid family that have already done much to shape the underground house scene, in paris and beyond. if the former era was a learning curve for all three, in both the music and business sense, one has high expectations for the quality of production on apollonia to come !shonkys ep the minneapolis touch will mark the first release for the label. forthcoming in february 2012, it features three tracks of strong house grooves, hynoptic melodies and hushed vocals for his signature sultry sound.

already causing a stir on promo, dark arts 01 comprises 4 tracks of deeply arresting dancefloor music. mid blue is a soundtrack for the darkest corner of the warehouse. the square bass grabs you from the first bar and combines with cosmic sweeps to drag you down deep before the toms come in to add that all-important funk factor. broken space is a beautifully playful track. the stuttering beat, organic percussion and melodic touches merge with the darkest of strings to create a sound rooted in classic electronica but belonging firmly in the present. restraint is a burst of heavyweight electroid futurism – rock-solid beats and alien sounds from god-knows which galaxy combine with a razor-sharp cymbal attack. handle with care. proper deep detroit business – a quote from just one of techno’s most well-respected producers.red_dust2 is a huge, rolling tech-house rhythm, mixing the warmth of the motor city with the cold machine funk found this side of the pond. pure, timeless and custom-built for the dancefloor. mastered by one of the most well respected engineers in techno and pressed in one of europe’s finest pressing plants, dark arts 01 is limited to 250 hand stamped, clear vinyl copies.

itongo is batongos alias for disco editing, less obscure, more groovy. not much is to be known about batongo, previously an active euro dance producer who released a bunch of hits in the nineties. 10 years ago, after a traumatic experience he escaped in perù and retired from the music business, during this years, on his spare time he made a lot of music, not meant for the public, just for himself. now he is still in perù, not willing to move back to europe but barely broke, he sold us the rights on his entire collection of unreleased recordings with condition of not revealing his real identity. we will unveil a series of eps ranging from obscure deep to psychedelic disco.

the latest instalment in the ever-evolving tale of circus company comes from a partnership that has already borne plenty of tightly honed dancefloor fruit, although never before for our merry band of performers and freaks. marc schneiders service to european house music runs deep. as well as steering the course of the mega-distributor wordandsound, marc has been steadily appearing on releases and remixes for new kanada, metamorphic, einmaliens and many more over the years. however marcs studio collaborations with ralf schmidt are fast becoming his most celebrated output. ralfs aera project is already being loudly championed by the most critical tastemakers in the business, including glowing praise from resident advisor and fact magazine for his unique and impeccably crafted tracks on his own aleph music label. after a string of successful remixes, the pair consummate their shared passion with this strong, focused three-tracker that makes a space for itself in the club-ready end of the circus company record bag. what on the surface may seem like straight-up dj friendly cuts soon reveal their hidden depths. whispers of techno melodies and textures hum away under the surface, while those with keen ears will pick up the sneaky tributes to uk rave culture that aera is known for sprinkling over his tracks. primarily though, these tracks gracefully tread the line between functionality and flair, leaving you with another glorious selection of imaginative house music with that inimitable circus co. stamp on it.

on brothers in loves first release, max k. gets right down to business introducing himself and this family project: booming kick drums, thumping toms side by side with sharp hi-hats and staccato claps. machine grooves with sounds as raw as the musical approach of the artist. >losing your cool< builds on a massive kick drum, with a tom groove shuffling the track. it develops into a late summer bloom, which is over as fast as this years berlin summer was – with piercing percussion to remind you that winter is already here! >overdrive<, the first track on the flip, starts as a heavy slow groover with thumping kick, crashing snare and acidic synth lines until a punishing hook enters knocking you upside the head. the second track on the b-side, >indulgence< comes disguised as a stepper with a raw, pulsating analog bass line, but reaches its apex with a whirling synth lead on top of a vocal that could never be classified as your ordinary preachapella.

pop will eat itself (they took the name from a feature in the nme) was formed in 1986 and became one of the most well-known grebo-acts before changing their style to alternative dance and industrial rock. in 1996 they disbanded the group and each of the bandmembers concentrated on solo projects before shortly reforming the band in 2005 to play some shows. these gigs were notable from their instant double live albums which were available only ten minutes after the gigs. in july 2011, graham crabb announced a new line-up with him as the only original member.

uncanny the label that took everyone by surprise comes with more goodness! the third artist-ep by dresden-based label comes from house- and hip hop-mastermind cuthead and is nothing less than a proper power package. with vibratin things start off as deep as the bottom of the sea. underneath cutheads dense drums there is an intense and meditating synth line which is eventually complimented by an acid figure as if it was an evil twin. brother rolls in with a mighty kick drum, before a catchy sample and not less catchy piano motives prepare for a propitiating end. with transgressions and its bass line for the bigger floors things get down to house business once again. the remaining two tracks then give an impression of what happens, if cuthead takes to the mpc for his liveset. in seram lembah und heartless cuthead combines his drumming with south east asian disco-mantras und bittersweet blues chants to heavy hip-hop-grooves. loving it!

part 2 of 3 of the remix package taken from the triple vinyl album ?un?nished business by suspect - thug records as the apocalypse rages on, communications expert tevo howard has be assigned to help develop a strategy that can end the terror. with no known footage or visual sightings of suspect, tracking the enigma responsible for launching the virus known only as ?un?nished business remains dif?cult. the survival of humanity sits on a knife edge. the virus has been ef?cient in its ability to morph and remain undetected. previous vaccines have only helped slow the rapid spread of the virus. now a new hope beacons… the resistance is armed with 3 new bio weapons which have been developed from original strains of suspects material. transmitted via an injection of analog drum machines, dark rave synthesis and tevo howards unique arrangement techniques, the thug 004 remix package adds new weight to humanities plight for survival.
