revivra is back on gamm with two seriously well produced re-edits (or remixes?) on the soulful boogie tip. just like last time this is just not some quick 5 min fixes but hand crafted reworks that takes the original tracks to the next level with loads of added live elements. the a-sides take on midways set it out is so good it almost makes the original sounds like the remix. with a beautiful live string intro it explodes into a proper boogie winner that easily could have been produced by any of the big producers from late 70s. on the flip revivra goes back to his deep love for marvin with +11 min excursion of mercy mercy me. epic is an understatement!

it is no secret that ben watt has chosen to close his acclaimed label buzzin fly to new music after ten great years as one of the uks leading dance independents. but the label has chosen to go out with a bang with one final single. unearthed from the vaults are two dazzling tracks from cornerstone artists, rodamaal, and manoo and francios a. rodamaals fortune was originally completed back in 2007 but scheduling problems prevented it from being released at the time. produced by the franco-portuguese trio (rocco, darkmountaingroups alex santos and manoo) it is a stark but emotionally-charged deep-techno masterpiece, that deserves its place alongside their other classics for the label, musica feliz and insomnia. on the flip, and originally produced in 2005, is other places a long-lost track by manoo and francois a. full of summer shimmer and heavy bass tones, it was produced by the duo during their heyday at the label, and was a secret favourite of label boss, ben watt. two perfect swansongs. buzz buzz.

the first in a series of limited edition 12 inches aimed at the dancefloor. ivvvo, a young producer from portugal with previous form on opal tapes and is closely affiliated with the photonz crew - the future ep presents his most exciting work yet. six transmissions long - vinyl scarred, abrasive and heartbroken, ivvvo reaches into early uk rave music for inspiration, but twists the end-game.

ltd repress - after mark ernestus mix of moyege in this series, now his basic channel / rhythm and sound partner comes to the control tower. moritz s deep berlin steppers discloses dubwise traces of our original lagos recording — the percussion of yinka ogunye, the singing of fifties palmwine legend rolling dollar, oscar olimbi s guitar lick — in with his own oberheim voicings, additional drumming, and cool-and-deadly rhythm track. its a tough, masterly dance record in fine rhythm and sound style — which during its ten-and-a-half minutes seems to ponder time elapsed and journeys undertaken. like a stepping razor, but t-u-m-p-i-n. this reggae land version is the take-no-prisoners, pared-down dub of wareika hill sounds rootical rework of ise nla. magnificent trombone and percussion. expert, classical ja mixing. brings to mind those great dubs of glen brown s black man stand up pan foot

after a few nice but largely unnoticed 12s for lower-profile labels, duererstuben is ready to make a serious maneuver, and pampa is pleased to provide them with the proper platform. the sheets of rane ep is the berliner duos most sophisticated statement yet, imbuing cold programmed sounds with a glowing human touch and a penchant for melody.

1st pressing of 500 copies in limited embossed sleeve & 180g vinyl. a regular in my dj sets as demos, nsound pushes us all to hear what is seemingly not there. only the brave have the confidence to create music that is so basic in its core but so deep in its intention, pushing each of us to imagine where the sound stops and the silence begins.

the electronic dance world has seen the many sides of and.id as a talented musician, a multi-faceted producer and a live performer on the dance floor but his latest musical rebirth has sparked a new jolt of inspiration to travel back to his early days in thessaloniki where he passed the hours of the day discovering and analyzing a world of dance vinyls that ultimately shaped him as a live act today. the product of this rebirth is mobilees next album release, eternal return.

golden age thinking was previously a three part, split lp but the three tracks featured on golden age thinking were to be an additional footnote to the project before the complete lp was released as a whole package digitally in june this year. written just before martin passed away in late-2012 the tracks featured on this, the 12 release, are the sort of timeless house music the duo shared a deep love of and the decision to release them was taken by giles and martins father.

herrmutt lobby is back for more. their third release on eat concrete (one as bretzel zoo) reveals a more soulful and laidback sound then ever before. the new haters gonna hate ep reaches beyond their previous material but still comes with their own style of improvised beats, lowend bumpers and weird time signatures.

nice price deal !!! lux rec once again explores the underground of analog possibilities. blomeier is a extraordinary musician playing mostly live and recording on tape cassette, not having a plan but letting the music find a way out in itself. so these three tracks came out. record is limited to 300 copies, download code included.

every now and then, a record comes along…this is one of those occasions. but...it is not any old record, it is a new one. specifically, the new 12inch single from sundown drive, brought to you by mind fair and rogue cat sounds. moving on from the body and soul that embodied their first trip, sd transcend you to the annals of deep clubland and melodically twist your heart strings with an early morning flutter and a tantric tension. the meandering-yet-purposeful piano finding its feet later in the proceedings this time, but rising to full effect, leaving only the dub to knock us sideways into a beautifully-simplistic dark alley of spring reverbs, synthesized prophecy and the voices in ya head telling you to give it up.

one year old and four releases deep, retreat present its first 2010 offering with the long awaited second volume of the treats series. featuring 3 exclusive tracks from session victim and quarion, treats vol.2 showcases the producers ability to move beyond the traditional house sound, incorporating more soul and disco influences as well as coming up with a few surprises! session victim start things off with the magical danish daughters, a slow groover that begins in a gentle but assured way, sparking your interest with its infectious guitar and piano loop until the beat kicks in and makes you irrepressibly shake that thang. adding a synth line here or a bell sound there, the duo keep the pace of the track steady until a startling guitar riff breaks it down, giving way to the original loop to return in its full glory, complete with extra organ dashes!

after their hot contributions for treats vol. 2, session victim prove indeed that they are on the roll with a funkafied and no holds barred ep that pays homage to their hip-hop roots. move me so starts rather simply, with just a guitar and a vocal, but you can hear a moving bassline and distant rhodes chords creeping up from the background. two minutes into the track and theres still no kick drum, although the level of excitement produced by the magnetic groove is almost unbearable. a filtered drum break finally gives way to a four to the floor beat that should turn any dancefloor into a frenetic party. the track builds with high energy, as the pounding bassline seems to be directly lifted from an early 90s hip-hop classic. the breakdown sees the vocal/guitar loop being played differently until the second part shifts gear and brings more surprises in the mix with the intro rhodes chords coming in and out.

nick lapiens debut release as metropolis garnered little attention when it materialized last year. a skeptical yet dedicated network of underground heads built up a subterranean buzz that has yet to spread into the daylight. that initial transmission was thick with the raw analogue flavors that have become ever-present in dance floor fare recently—but his is a sound that is dedicated to the emotive, narrative aspects of electronic music rather than simple fetishization or passing curiosity in the days of yore. this, his second release as metropolis, shows a more focused and patient hand at work. the titular track on the a side is a deep, psychedelic groover. melodies, textures and sequences undulate and intertwine within a lightless atmosphere guided by lapien with optimum restraint. equally pensive and gorgeous, the flood serves as a machine’s beat-less foil on the reverse. made up of little more than feedback and two slow, echo laden arpeggiated sequences, this is reminiscent of jean michel jarre’s more sinister moments: a brilliant paradox of economy and indulgence. expect to hear more from lapien here at sequencias. he has many more dark corners left unexplored.

more than six years into his career after several eps and a full album, there isn’t much known about ben gibson, and he is clearly keeping it that way with intent. gibson first emerged on jeff mills’ experimental, influential 6277 sublabel but then again vanished into the ether, he only reappeared three years later on perc trax, even more surprisingly with a full-length. since then, he’s gone on to steadily more notice with perc’s imprint, sect records, and most recently m_rec ltd in spite of the continuing lack of information. exposure isn’t the most important thing for us at chronicle though, and after hearing these five tracks, we saw exactly what it is that drew mills to him from the beginning. it is a sound that we find a perfect fit for the techno futurism of our chronicle series, and here we offer a platform for gibsons more sci-fi, ethereal sounding material, exclusively on vinyl for the fifth edition of our sublabel.

character is techno as you can expect it from deetron: deep but uplifting, refined but powerful. the b side drives on a catchy vocal and goes more toward the (deep) house spectrum, but with a punchy kick to keep that dancefloor going. swiss funk!

londons powell works with opposites, in a way that is delightfully disconcerting. his tracks, on the surface, seem relatively uniform - but listen closer, or at punishing volume, and they teem with detail: wiry guitars, sinister yelps, synth figures that fizz like bubbles through sparkling water. across two eps in 2012 for his own diagonal label and one for death of rave in 2013, he has established himself as one of the uks most unique electronic musicians.

for the fourth and final round of the stallions compilation, bosconi records closes in style with athena: muscular four tracks that run between detroit and chicago sounds, dub and ambient aiming at the discovery of new, unexplored horizons. selected big stallions, which feature the best of their talent trying to cover up unknown journey and territories but leading to surprising results. the oliverwho factory with a rousing mind free, nick anthony simoncino of an entrancing and picturesque tramonto techno, nicholas with a soaring and disruptive from somewhere else and ennio colaci on beautifully nuanced hinterland, close one of the most interesting art projects in recent years increasingly raising even more bosconi records in the olympus of globality.

here lies the final chapter in the first testament of shocks, and as with the previous three releases, were granted no mercy. a-side tracks trajl and contagious are a full fledged assaults on the psyche, taunting with just enough melody to convince us of musicality, but never really rising from of the swamp theyre stewed in.the b side closer klamata could be seen as a comedown, but after a short while you realize that youve been led only deeper, left in a state of total disarray.

mushrooms project are the kings of the mid tempo and they do deep, druggy, chunky, sometimes more balearic, sometimes just more freaky music better than anyone else. check! their approach is hallucinating and all encompassing and is made up of the analogue sounds of guitar, bass, synth and percussive layers to create a dirty but unique background. their new undergrass album is a melting pot of all their influences and is a straight up journey through the mesmerizing and unusual minds of the mushrooms. undergrass is released on gatefold double vinyl with a bonus 10 inch featuring remixes of 16823 by brennan green and mudd. brennan takes his mix into the electro boogie sounds of an 80s new york while mudd brings out the guitar, layering up his own production with equally devastating effect.

spanish dj and producer uner is looking back on an impressive but intense career. after first milestones on top notch labels like saved and diynamic he scored even more points with his last releases on the Überlabels cadenza and visionquest which made him one of the most wanted minimal-techno-producers around

bill youngman has been around for almost 20 years with releases on legendary labels like serotonin, scandinavia and tresor. he crossed many styles from melodic electro to really, really harsh techno, but recently he seems to have found his very own personal style. the music he released on killekill in the last two years show a very singular approach to techno and electro. percussive, deep, melodic, toolish – all at the same time.

ms. smooth socal soul meets mr. nocal dirtybird swagger and they have a baby together. that baby is justin jay and at 19 years old he is already making his 3rd appearance on dirtybird. i have a feeling this is justin jays breakout record. the a-side static is at 119 bpm and will sweep you up then rip your pants off. but even when you get hit with the massive bassline, an old school anchor stays intact. waves b-side has a classic deep dirtybird feeling, with tuned 808s and a surprising melodic element showing off the sweeter side of this up and coming young gun. justin jay has more potential than anyone i have heard in a while and if he continues to play like he has been lately, he has a long dj career ahead of him as well.

olin inaugurates the god particle party into orbit with the title track. sassmouths remix stays true to the original, but adds organic percussive touches. the b goes into darker warehouse territory riding between gritty punch & deep groove.

rounding up the finest of our rare breeds for a show-stopping steeplechase, bosconi is proud to invite the world into our stables to demonstrate the sound we have been rearing for the past five years.leaping from the stocks in a flurry of high-pedigree house and techno, our stallions bring forth the values we hold dear in electronic music, from young foals such as herva and nicholas to seasoned steeds like a guy called gerald and nick anthony simoncino.
the first of the four records of the saga bosconi stallions is here: in honor to apacz between house and disco, he will be the first thoroughbred that will guide us through the first stage of this historic project that will revolutionize bosconi records. in his adventure will come accompanied by herva foal to race, with its powerful stay, followed by rondenion with the dawning output sunrize that bridges the solar put the man out of riccio until the darkest voices of san proper & the clover. it is the beginning of a long ride but absolutely pleasure.

must is pure sonic architecture that breathes and sweats, this is how asphalt and steel sounds in contact with rain and sun. the hunch synthetic of pablo bolivars interlinings, reaches in must a degree of warmth and unpublished maturity. oblivious to this musician modes and contemporary fashions, he deliver the album he always wanted to do. idm, deep house, soulfull and sunny electronics designed and crafted with the meticulousness of a goldsmith. songs as sophisticated as friendly, loved but without raising fears. never bolivar has been as musical as now, delight and enjoyment in each beat. that is must, an album to listen carefully.

a heavy lead rhythm provides the foundation from which spiralling elements project. they coruscate, pulse with light and collapse inwards, until just the echoes of dub2 are left. rising from these depths, the sharpness of distribution theorys crisp hi-hats and snapping claps provide forward momentum to a series of stabs. the house element.
beginning as a mystery but ending as a certainty, the ethereal theme that opens untitled document gives way as it increases velocity, shaking and rattling under the strain. the apex. hands reach, seeking, the elusive moment has already passed, all left is pure. bliss. circumflex kicks hard, a final statement of intent. powerful. corrosive. this is late night techno, played over a system on which the squelching acid-lines converge within the mind. the body jacks.

shades rises from the minds of korova. the aim is at drawing new nuances in the immaginary spectrum of techno, to get the hearing closer to the sound of those hidden mechanical shadows. shades lives on dark visions and primitive rhythms, but nevertheless trusts in a future controlled by a lightning plot between humans and technologies.

samuli kemppi may have begun in warm house climes as the duo sam & gigi, but he has since found his niche and fame sound tracking the deep and icy black recesses of space. 2009s komisch debut, deep space helsinki ep, birthed the galactic signature that would come to define his solo techno output for labels like prologue, mote-evolver and perc trax, meanwhile cementing his stylistic meanderings to a single, albeit flexible, narrative. parallax of one second ep is samuli kemppis third outing on m rec ltd, after the full cyclic model ep and remix inclusion on ben gibsons more than milk, and sees the fin plundering the astronomic theme once again with stellar sci-fi precision.

berlin based quell aka nikolaos raptis, is a relatively new name to the house scene, but the up and comer has been striking chords as of late with releases for the likes of kolour, tsuba and ibadan.

let the machines do the work (ltmdtw) are a 4 piece electronic out&#64257,,,,t that have a crazed obsession for all things analog. not the, i am into analog cause its cool, but a crazed obsession. simply step into their studio and you will be whisked away from the digital age in a heart beat as a haze of humming transistors and burnishing outboards drape you in a warm welcoming embrace. one love / brighter day is their debut release on the grass roots inspired blah blah blah records and it delivers a heavy and welcoming thump to the chest, forget thin digital beats, this is big phat dance&#64258,,,,oor house, dynamic, luxurious and seductively wanton.

to turn peoples heads you have to make a bit of an effort to do something different. but maybe there is another part of me that just wishes i could make club bangers and just put it out there…

zeitgeber is a german word that, loosely translated, means synchronizer. its also the new project of electric deluxe head speedy j and stroboscopic artefacts boss lucy. both artists make some of the most forward-thinking techno around, but zeitgeber sees them pushing together even further into uncharted territories.

the unstoppable boris bunnik is back once again, this time as vernon felicity with a four track ep for mos recordings. the tracks see him explore his usual analogue heavy sound, but there is a little more space in his arrangements, a more rueful mood...

out of the ether comes something special. how did dopeus get so good while remaining almost unnoticed? sometimes it goes like that. with only a handful of tracks released, including i left my soul on planet dopeus on nite grooves darkness part 2, this is ny resident naotake gunjis first major release yet he comes on like hes been chiseling away at his sound for years. out of nowhere comes the getaway ep. its house music but its much more than that. check!

humans are an abstraction of animal life form – and this is their soundtrack. on the first release monomood shows some light. but the light is pulsating in stroboscopic rhythms and enlightens shadows of moving creatures locked into a murky basement. if this is too disturbing for you, the well known grounded theory mastermind henning baer slows down the frequency to turn the raging floor into a dark moving mass hypnosis. after that you can recognize some dark scientists are brewing a fascinating cocktail out of boiling bass anddistorted sounds capes. drink it and you will know!

ok, first of all i want to reveal a myth: these infotexts are mostly writtenby the labelowners themselves, not by hard-working editors. so what happens, when the guy behind a label releases his own music? well, either he is a well-organised deadline-machine and he asks somebody capable of doing this stupid job, or he realizes:
>oh fuck the distribution whats to do their work and they needed thissheet weeks ago...< so in the end, hes gotta do it himself: of course,now i could tell you how great this record is (what it is!) and what ahell of a motherfucker i am (also true!)... but i prefer telling yousentimental other bullshit instead... :)
this ep marks a newbeginning in my career. since some time now, >the fog burns off< and we get more and more stable in the buisness. last year we were on the road quite a bit and we found many new friends. people from other cities, who believe in the same things, who do similar stuff and who are of the same kidney as we are. so that makes me very happy, which reflects in the music. for the first time i feel like coming home, although we are at the beginning of our journey into the industry yet.

straight out of a midlands bunker, we bring you he/at, and this 4 track debut hits hard.
no clue yet who has actually produced these tracks, but this is an accomplished ep to say the least, showing serious range and floor-filling sensibilities with an experimental edge and a serious bottom end. 4 tracks of fresh, raw, intense techno, tried and tested by a select few that have it.

here we present good vibrations, the debut ep on local talk from canadian producer orazio fantini. the best thing with this ep is that it is simply straight up house music that is both deep yet raw and funky all at the same time. basically, its very local talk ,) first track, to the ball, starts off with a bubbling bass line, followed with shuffling hi-hats and swinging beat that is glued together by glistering synth stabs, infectious to say the least. turn the record over for feel it, which showcases fantinis clever use of vocal samples blended together with the perfect swing and last not but not least, on hold is a stripped track but with all the necessary elements to make the feet move.

an artist usually chooses his (her) name to create an alter ego. this time, its a little different as from one, the artist became five. but christine and the queens is indeed a solo artist. opposite emotions, self-contradictory statements, eclecticism, all things that were roughed out on her two rather confidential first eps, are confirmed on the one shes about to release on because music.
