new yorker elliot taub graces this 8th kinfolk release with 3 trax of varying intesity. do that dance is an uptempo melodic bass and synth heavy dancefloor jam. thirteenth roll in a bakers dozen takes a slower spaced out route. 10 dollars conitnues in the same mode but this time with guitar and a super heavy synth line pushing the driving force along and finally soft rocks grab a hold of 10 dollars and turn it into a john carpenter-esque electro groover.

ronald burrell s second release as equation on nu-groove is as deep as it gets. we re talking late night nyc back room deepness, often imitated but never bettered. -i ll say a prayer 4 u- is the lead track here, a sublime longing synth groove with a nagging bassline and crisp rimshots, a total -under the radar- anthem straight out of new york city circa 1991 and engineered by the equally as legendary bobby konders, a real undercover gem. the other two cuts on the ep drive further into the night, -domm domm, yeah mm hmm- is another dope basement groove, rocking some classic burrell flavours, and -my life- is a real down-tempo piece that reappropriates the roy ayers classic -my life in the sunshine- while giving it a real -100 bpm house- swing, don t snooze... all in all this is another classic release from the nu-groove vaults, re-mastered and re-pressed here for the first time in conjunction with nu-groove records and the burrell brothers. essential.

coming from the darkest depths of the south american jungle but raised in the city of utrecht in holland, julian alexander is a name that might not have fallen on many ears as yet but we guarantee you ll be hearing a lot of this 18 yr old powerhouse in the future. with a background in jazz and a trained multi instrumentalist, exploring hip hop and underground house and uk garage, julian soon started to craft a unique style and put his own slap and funk into the mix. focusing on a deep powerful sound with plenty of pound he quickly caught our attention as his meaty, stripped down minimalism explores an even darker chamber of the dungeon . julian s hustlin ep delivers the kind of tracks that keep the floor moving, essential tools that can be the perfect transition or the spark that lights the fuse on on the dance floor. can you believe he made the track undrg at the ripe old age of 16 years old. it really blows our minds to think he made it 2 years ago and it still sounds fresh and futuristic. as with all our releases these jams are tried and tested and proved to be very useful for building the tension and getting those fist pumping. their solid, track, bass heavy vibe will have no problem bothering even the biggest bass bins

unstoppable! the militia is back. the lyon-based crew should have chosen james bond for this seventh reference, but they asked asbrey, mark asbrey. after the relentless -utricule e.p.- from last year, london artist fundamental interaction delivers his second release for the label. night-birds must be careful : this is a ************* coup d état, aimed straight at the dancefloor. there s a fresh emergent scene in the uk, no doubt!

gold fingers is on roll! not long ago deejaykul brought the deep and jazzy house element to gold fingers. now it is time for hade to continue on the house route but take things even deeper. its not right needs very little introducing, you will be signing the lyrics straight away, it is a classic sounding as fresh and relevant in this hade version. on the flip, mobb deep ultra is all bouncing basslines and 4/4 house in perfect harmony.

paul white has long established himself as an acclaimed hip-hop producer, but on his debut lp for r&s records he expands his horizons with the most personal music of his career to date. with the the sampler laid aside, the south londoner emerges as a multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer as he charts the intoxication, heartbreak and ultimate triumph of a grand love affair.
the vinyl lp includes a download code.

ample play records release a heavy duty collection of richard norris recent time and space machine mixes on double vinyl, including download code. a man of many guises, he has operated as a duo - as the grid with dave ball, as beyond the wizards sleeve with erol alkan - but when it is time for some solo sonic action, he records and remixes as the time and space machine. we find him at it here: *the way out sound from in*, reworking the most cosmic beat combos around into hitherto unheard psychedelic shapes. warpaint, jagwar ma, temples, psychemagik, the sufis and more fall into the time and space machine and come out the other side with wider grins and shinier eyes. it is the way out sound from in ... all aboard.

ptakis tunes soar wide-winged like their translation (bird) infers. with a breakout single under their belts on the very polish cut-outs krystina and a swirling vapour of mystique surrounding them, the duo present their first full 12 inch of original material which is both contemplative and transfixing. the kalina ep on young adults recordings clocks in around 25 minutes, but the ground it covers cannot be clearly conveyed through conventional cartography - a birdseye view of jagged cliffs, coastal haze, rolling bagpipe hillsides, and smoke signals.

after a long summer, memoria recordings is back with a 3 tracks release of the romanian all-rounder marcman! three totally different tracks, each with its own story. this is how memoria works on her eps: dancefloor music, but also space for experimental sounds suitable for afterhours and special moments. with *inspection* by marcman the dutch label did it again.

vin sol & matrixxman open up their label, soo wavey, to newcomer en who drops this 4 track ep (including a remix by vin sol & matrixxman) of house and techno. the lead track truth steps out of the gates swinging with aggressive yet tucked tr-909 programming sitting nicely alongside dark motifs. ens and reality then delves into menacing minimal drone techno territory, ultimately yielding to a subtle call and response exchange among dueling 808 tom bass lines. on the flip side, 4u lighten things up a tad with soulful, atmospheric detroit chords supplying a much needed breath of fresh air. last but not least, vin sol and matrixxman join in on the fun supplying a hypnotic, off kilter reworking of 4u imbuing the remix with restrained chicago jacking vibes that flawlessly straddle the divide between house and techno. limited to 500 copies (no repress!).

the love for music and vinyl were not only crucial factors that marius lehnert has established itself as a dj, but they are still the basics. through his residency at the infamous club rocker 33 stuttgart marius has received the first major attention. his last release on blufin got a big hype, not only becuase oft he remixes by egbert and fairmont. after a few releases more from marius lehnert he strated to produce with its buddy marc shepherd, first just for fun. but this 2 tracks made it on the new ep investigation of cavity, this time with a superb remix by roland m. dill.

2014 repress with new mastering !! supported by: raresh, laurent garnier, kiki, dj sneak, karotte, lee curtiss, alex kid, jimpster, brothers vibe, etc.. i guess we dont have many words to describe this new esperanza in which we are proud to present on this vibe from the one and only fred p (black jazz consortium) and a delightful remix by sistrums favourite patrice scott. the original track is an amazing late night detroit ride which evolves slowly until it makes you feel floating on clouds. it may last 10 minutes but it s absolutely the kind of track you would want to be endless. on the flipside, patrice makes some twists and turns to the original track to put his own trademark signatures delivering another breath-taking emotional space walk. we are proud to release this record and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

2014 repress !!
berlin based, italian born, alessandro and federico fognini are not just brothers in arms but actual brothers who have been growing up together their whole lives. which might help explain why these 2 recent arrivals on the scene have already established a sound much more mature than their years might suggest.

in what will certainly be ranked as one of his most intriguing releases so far, kompakt staple matias aguayo not only takes a quick breather from his commitment to cómeme, but also opens up fresh and exciting paths for him to explore with his music: legende is both the continuation and alteration of matias well-established aesthetic canon, drawing from all stages in his production career und ultimately synthesizing various sonic strains into a wholly new listening experience

following eight years running the eevonext imprint with stefan robbers, rosedale records aims to showcase hand-picked producers sharing sides with remixes by technos establishment and some of estroes new discovered talents via her own producer advice company. but theres no better way of getting down to business with a pound of no-nonsense, signalling of intent from the boss herself, a nice means of getting the ball rolling and to set future contributors on the rosedale path.

side a: palace of change. written in 2011 this one is from the vaults, it came at a time when i wanted change in my music to break away from being diamond eye and move to a more upbeat and uplifting sound, while retaining my signature spiritual and thoughtful approach to music. side b: auf deutsch. an out there rhythm structure that encompasses the half time approach to techno, a contrast to the a side, this has a more lean back and shoulder movement groove, suitable for either side, but can t have light without shadow.

we are happy to have our longtime friend ian pooley back on the label. we might have stolen this release from pooled music but we couldnt resist to have it on innervisions. fresh sounding house music by an old school producer!

very limited 2014 repress. incl s100, pfirter & grindvik, skudge, the rumours aka s. linzatti & p.grindvik, oliver kapp and tom diciccio !! to clarify the meaning of sthlm ltd 022. on sthlm ltd 022 i would like to shed light upon a few artists who, in recent times, inspired me, in one way or another. older ones and new ones. we embark with s100, a cluster of machines and people from stockholm, who share the love of playing live. in addition to the stockholm ensemble we have juan pablo pfirter, a man who brings mad joy to any dancefloor but also constantly seizes the attention of the blog generation. there is also skudge, the swedish duo who with their simple patterns and oldschool vibes made people worship true techno again. as well as staffan linzatti, who is the best studio mate in the world, and oliver kapp, the founder of the labels indulge and raygun. oliver s music has always been a huge source of inspiration for me, so i was proud to invite him to do a remix for stockholm ltd. last but not least tom dicicco, a bass and dub loving youngster from the midlands currently based in manchester, who after a few releases on various labels co founded the great label inner surface. pär grindvik, 2011

neueheimat is joinig the cirque du minimaliste family on its sublabel manege with his debut release *quartier3*. neueheimat was founded near hamburg in 2012 by dennis grell. after working for many years as a commissioned producer and remixer for publishers and labels, dennis wished to start his own, new project and truly realise his creativity. conceptually, the aim is for the music to blend seamlessly with his photographs of urban architecture and to document the anonymity of life within city walls. influenced by artists such as anders trentemøller, jon hopkins, trent reznor and the earlier einstürzende neubauten, dennis began creating his own definition of electronic music. neueheimat and subsequently *quartier3 ep* are characterised by dennis clear style of production: a few lighter passages, but primarily creating a deep and murky impression. large spaces leave room for interpretation and present the listener with images that either they have never seen or have been missing for a long time. created on old analogue equipment, mixed on a 30-year-old tape recorder and mastered by mastering engineer stefan betke (tresor, cabaret voltaire, lucy, laibach), *quartier3* is a significant milestone in dennis production history.

now nighttripper records is born! the first is from the us native scott scheferman it is a cold stomper with jerky sounds and stomping distorted 909 kick. on a pleasant bpm still playable in any techno set. watch out for this guy! on the remix we have robert armani who delivers a minimal but ruthless effort for the big room and will please the hardcore fans on the b side orlando strikes back as the nighttripper with some funky mayhem!

chmmr is the dance music making moniker of even brenden hailing from, oh yes, all the norway. having released on luna flicks, relish this time is the right time for his debut on full pupp. the unmistakably sparkling chmmr sound stands for long hypnotic, tracks, simple in a way, but oh so grooveleaden, sick bassed continuously panned patterned with a string theme makes sure you never forget which song it was that stuck in your ear last. it was either lyd & bilde or ... np hard - oh yes. last not least thomas adds an own remix version with an epic mythical persion twist. persion version is a full. inshallah!

killekill welcomes a new duo on board. skew and satirist are not newcomers. nor are they a well-guarded techno secret. but for this initial outing they want the music to come first. both artists have a background in sonic and technological innovation and have started this project for their left-of-centre techno manoeuvres. berlin s killekill is the natural launching-pad. the ep visits idm-dipped dark techno, a track built around a malfunctioning feedback matrix and a wide-angle, subtly melodic adventure

one of las smartest young voices says the la times…which the artist suspects, may just be a covert way of saying la is dumb. “open” mike eagle wouldnt terribly mind, being born and raised in chicago where the painful winters and his uppity grandparents kept him inside as a youth. he spent his formative years watching alternative music happen on mtv and hoping to one day be able to audition for the native tongues. as a young adult after graduating with a degree in psychology, he did the next best thing and moved to los angeles, joining the project blowed collective where he made music and toured with busdriver, aceyalone, abstract, nocando, and more. he has also gained notoriety in the world of comedy by being invited by professional funny people (paul f. tompkins, hannibal buress, matt besser/ucb) to rap at their shows. he would like to be raps kurt vonnegut but recognizes that he would first have to create something as iconic as the four-stroke illustration of an anus. he practices by releasing rap albums that delight, entertain, and confuse.

riccardo sabatini is now our regular material/materialism artist. nothing but love for the magnificent techouse stomper release. funky vocals and sexy baselines. hot!

a producer from maisons-alfort, france was too young to attend the nighttime parties but heard some msn releases, & made 3 jams that eamon & justin have been caning for months.

black rox is back with 2 more sneaky soft rocks specials that have somehow been liberated from locked cd wallets and released into the wild for general consumption. the a side sabu dance combines horns, flutes & percussion on this killer slice of midtempo funk from africa via berlin. this has been thoroughly road tested by soft rocks at their kinfolk night & never fails to get a great response from the dancefloor. side b. don t worry it s not the tantric one s ode to voyeurism but a rare as hens teeth slice of uk. reggae at is s finest. adjustments have been made sensitively and sounds have been chosen to carefully match those from the appropriate era. a perfect track for blissful summer evenings (yeah whatever!).

deo & z-man, the blood-brothers from hamburg, pulled off one of the most creative feats of last year with their debut album, no bullshit , with zero bs but plenty of inspiration, the pair melted together a range of influences with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humour for their underground opus. the remix lp to follow this ep solidifies their commitment to the eclectic, drafting in friends and family like lee burton, erobique and tigerskin to rework the magic.

a twenty year break away from making music is almost unheard of especially within electronic music circles, but that is where antenna happy finds himself with pinto. clocking in at 9.09 pinto draws from psychedelia and techno set straight for the sun. this kaleidoscopic sonic excursion has all the makings of a cult classic, and heads up the debut 12- release on newly founded imprint reinhardt records. taking lead on the b-side an entirely different affair in the shape of fallen. this is benchmark electronic music, as arpeggiators take flight mirrored against hypnotic acid bass, for a journey into the outer house territories. closing the ep, spark holds the reigns. conceived within the same stretch as pinto, however it wasn t until some months later that spark took on its full form. emotive modular synths lay the groundwork, connecting the dots between low-slung techno and house music, culminating in a track that sits in neither genre camp. spark will appear on the digital release only. the ep title track takes its name and inspiration from paintings by antenna happy s three-year-old daughter, whose birth inspired him to return to making music. close-ups of these paintings can be seen in the artwork for the release.

skylax welcomes f.t.g., known to house music scholars as freddy the groove, and his many friends for our next release in 2014. last year, f.t.g. and his italian partner in crime, marco riff (who also appears on this very record), pressed a very limited run of a single-sided, special throwback tribute to late 80s chicago house music. the track was aptly named ‘tribute ’89’, and it put a more dancefloor oriented twist on a track by a certain originator with the initials r.h. needless to say, it became highly sought-after incredibly quickly and fuel was further added to the fire by the repeated club play by none other than the dj idol ricardo villalobos. luckily for our followers, that original mix appears on this ep with another unreleased mix of the track and 2 originals featuring belfie and alex tea alongside f.t.g.with enough said about ‘tribute ‘89’ itself, the unreleased mix maintains the warehouse vibe with a heavy kick and bouncing bass pattern but takes it to another level with the introduction of rolling vocal cuts and a rather ravey synth line. flipping over the to b-side, we are treated with two tracks by f.t.g. and alex tea, named ‘public enemy’ and ‘bango’, with the former also seeing belfie lend a helping hand in the production. both of these originals round out the record nicely and cement it as another skylax release that is definitely not to be missed

located beyond neptunes orbit is the dwarf planet haumea, the inspiration behind rodhads second release for token. it follows his spomeniks 12inch from last year which the berliner used to debut on the belgian label, the only other imprint hes released with other than his own dystopian records. over the past three years rodhads reputation has sky-rocketed, not only as an accomplished producer with five releases to his name, but as a big room dj whose formidable presence behind the decks demands as much respect as dvs1 and german big guns dettmann and klock.

modelmaker is a new london label from the collective minds of dan berkson and james what. the esteemed house duo has long been garnishing a range of international imprints with their inventive analogue house and techno sounds, but now they are focussing on their own outlet. initially launching with a couple of self penned eps, release number three will be the pair s long-time-in-the-making debut album, and after that a considered selection of other talents will join the ranks as the label pushes on. always primarily focussed on machine made, texturally rich house and techno, each release will come with unique artwork based on works from what s great grandfather, conrad felixmuller, who was a well known german expressionist.

proud yorkshire label hudd traxx have been putting out a reliable stream of quality deep house since 2005, with artists like dj sneak, rick wade, iron curtis, jay bliss and agnes just some of the many names to appear on the label. this 46th release features three debutants, while the fourth name, j.t. donaldson, spearheads the release with a wishy-washy, bassline driven deep house vocal cut -got myself together-. hudd traxx provides dusseldorf producer maximiljan with his first physical release with the track -son of a- which merges the linear 909 house style of norm talley with smooth chords and cheeky vocals similar to the now defunct swiss house duo azuni. but most interesting for the label on this release, it s the two new names in professional gigolo and tuneon that prove hudd traxx still know where to look when it comes to unearthing new and vibrant talent.

marking the start of an exciting new collaborative project, wolf + lamb proudly share the debut release of the waves & us. formed out of a creative meeting of minds between maayan nidam, markus nikolaus and louis mcguire, theirs is a sound that strengthens the storied approach of a live band with the experimental thrust of analogue electronics. pop and rock fundamentals lend an earthly hook to the tracks, but these are anything but straight-forward songs. maayan has already forged a formidable career in electronic music, both under her own name and as part of mara trax, scoring releases on such celebrated labels as perlon. markus performs his own solo project cunt cunt chanel, while louis is part of ballet school, a band releasing on noted indie label bella union. the whirlwind of creativity that has whipped up around the trio has yielded an album which will follow this single, made up of one-take recordings that capture the energy and adventure that powers the waves & us. maayan s electronics provide the atmospheric backdrop to the songs, running modular synthesisers and drum machines through detailed chains of processing and effects with an emphasis on a warm, charmingly rough finish. markus guitar undergoes a similar fuzzy treatment while his voice calls out introspective, abstract lyrics to set the mind racing. louis bass underpins the music with a dubby sensibility, bringing a necessary balance to the frequency range. making the most of their in-the-room recording approach, the singles will feature alternative takes of the songs that will appear on the album, providing a little insight into the flutters and fluctuations that shape the development of this project. with their eyes fixed on live performances and an arresting sound already formed, this is a vital time for all three artists and the people that listen to them.

another new face for shtum but certainly not for all the techno aficionados out there: jacob korn makes his debut on uncanny valley s sub label to celebrate his old but not forgotten love for dark and bleepy techno

things have been a-brewing in the tender hooks camp. we have been markedly quiet on the release front but finally - with little to no further ado - we are ready to get things rolling once more. tender hooks are proud and honoured to introduce t.wiltshire and his debut 12 inch the sandringham ep (limited to 300 copies, vinyl only).

deep acid boogie? autumnal detroit cuts? or maybe just instant classic. whatever the language, this isnt new todd osborn, but its not old todd osborn. it is the osborn of a new generation and out of a generation. it is limited, but for everyone: slated for fall, but timeless. uncut, barrel proof, and all yours.

steve frisco, of serie limitee fame, brings us the latest bundle of hot tracks to hit wax classic in 2014. as the title suggests, steve takes us on a journey through low fidelity sounds and production techniques. think dark, moody, yet crunchy basement house tracks with inspiration taken from all over the u.s and the rest of the house world. it’s a generous offering as well. six whole dusty tunes for those diggers who are looking for something with a bit more range than another record of generic piano laden, house-by-numbers pieces that still seem to be flooding the record store shelves in 2014. the moods do vary from track to track, but they remain very reflective and almost melancholic at points. the title track, ‘adventure in lo-fi’, is the deepest of the lot with filtered chords, echoing claps and a sporadic kick pattern that often clears way for the track’s bass hits. now, compare that to ‘da brooklyn beat’. whilst the former had a distinct sunrise/sunset kind of feel to it, the latter is definitely more of a club affair. skippy snare hits and a strong organ lead the track on, and at the risk of utilizing very overused buzzwords such as ‘raw’ and ‘ruff’, this track, and the rest of the a-side for that matter, certainly captures that essence. stalwart wax classic fans will no doubt be picking this one up to add to their collection. however, i strongly recommend this ep as a jumping in point to the label for any newcomers out there

new york endless is the first appearance on vinyl of new jersey born new yorker dan selzer. you may not have heard of him, but many of your favourite producers, bands and djs massively respect his record collection and ear. many of the sounds he has spent years exploring and djing can be heard via the three tracks that make up the strategies ep. elements of techno and house, idm, italo-disco and new wave, cosmic and kosmiche, krautrock and a certain debt to the new york school of minimalist composers all appear. the music is pure and (mostly) analog while still centred around accessible melodies and clean synthesized tones. golf channel every time!

this edit of malis amadou & mariam ce nest pas bon (originally created in 2008 for my dj sets) was supposed to be included on the recently released third autonomous africa 12inch. unfortunately i didnt get permission to use it in time for that release but permission has now been given, so rather than wait for aa 004 in 2015 it is going to come out as a limited edition hand stamped 10inch as soon as possible. all proceeds will once again go to the mtandika mission in tanzania -www.actioninafrica.org/about-mtandika.php a big thanks to ben ufo and midland for championing this edit. the interest they generated directly led to the motivation for this release.
