rimming records is a new underground label. vinyl only and no repress, catch your copy now. the label stands for quality house music, with quality artists. but there s no need to announce them, quality music always finds the way into the right hands.

a defining moment in dance music history was the day that roy davis jr. teamed with vocalist and writer peven everett in 1997 to create this deep, ethereal, soul-music gem that helped launch an entire musical movement known affectionately as speed garage. the live garage mix is the most popular but the other mixes have grown in popularity over time. it is hard to believe that this record is almost 20 years old yet it still sounds as fresh today as it did so long ago. truly a classic that deserves to be celebrated by a new generation of dance music lovers. gabriel play!

nathan melja is the same young frenchman whose debut ep we released under the name melja late last year. since then, he moved to new york and worked at mister hq for a few months, manned the light booth at the mister saturday night and mister sunday parties (djs make the best light guys), and spent most of his time outside that making music. leo draws is the culmination of that music-making, two murky but beautiful tracks centered around vocal samples and one off-kilter number aimed at the dark corners of the dancefloor.

copenhagens music for dreams continues its run of great releases with a tasteful 12 inch from label boss kenneth bager who presents four on-the-money remixes of his single *sunshine stereo* taken from forthcoming album *follow the beat*. currently enjoying heavy rotation on p3 (denmarks answer to radio one), this summery anthem gets makeovers from denmarks jazzbox, greek duo bonnie & klein and from mr bager himself who teams up with napoli-born producer extraordinaire tuccinelli to give us not only a superb extended vocal mix but also an on-fire dub version of the track that is sure to be a future classic both for the balearic brigade and all lovers of funky downtempo dubbed-out weirdness. treading the same territory as the fabulous frankie knuckles hallucinogenic mix of *aint nobody*, this dub is full of tricks, teasing and pleasing the dancefloor and already getting strong support of manchesters moonboots, amnesia legend leo mas and danish dj peter visti. elsewhere jazzbox deliver a great uptempo beach boogie version full of soul and groove making great use of the unmistakeable voice of damon scott, known for his work with storm queen, while bonnie & klein produce a very special percussive jazzy dub mix. the pair are on a roll at the moment and this remix with its warm marimba vibes creates that mediterranean vibe we all love. a real sun-soaked winter warmer, this 12 feels like a knitted sweater in the cold! limited vinyl.

an ep of golden bug on lddlm has been a long-time coming. paths crosses, encounters, similitudes. but it took all of us time to agree on how golden bug should fit into our mortal ethics of fragmentation: we don t want to sound like anybody else, each track on the ep should all sound different. the french but barcelona based producer played our game, anticipating his future and very diverse album with a spook yet catchy 12inch. wild boys was an instant ear-catcher, some proto funk with a very strong vocal by yan wagner that made it sound like duran duran on speedball. it was hard to take it to another level but lord tusk, one of our favourite producers of the emerging -no genre london scene beefs it up, kraftwerk way. its moody as we all are. ik voel je shows the more experimental spaced out side of golden bug, we d call it space rock if we had to. do not neglect l-horloge, it s slow, dark, menacing but it s a real time bomb if tuned correctly.

the duo acid mondays have brought their quirky forms of house and techno to a wealth of respected labels over the years, warp, circus and 2020 vision to name but a few. now, negghead and lex wolf can add guy gerbers forward-thinking rumors to that list, with their humorously-titled tacos per minute ep which looks set to add to the imprints hard-earned reputation as a breeding ground for innovative techno.

its a rare moment in the life of hoods m-plant when he hands over to another producer, but no surprise that he should pick mark broom for the next release, seeing as hes previously been entrusted to provide edits of hoods tracks for mpm19.

duo from somewhere just outside of los angeles, little is known about them, but what you need is this: a prolific non-stop stream of countless releases for labels like opal tapes, handmade birds, beläten and chondritic sound. a truly weird approach that mixes up early industrial and exotic infatuations, cheap gear electronics and world music, obnoxious drones and beach-like radiance. again, primitive drumming and eastern traditions heritage, twanging guitars and dub reverbs. adhoc just premiered *dreary commonplace*.

following the success of 2014 s ii , gala drop are back with a new single, nova . side a comes mixed by their principe discos homies niagara. we re in familiar gala drop territory here... floating psychedelic guitars & synths entwine with the deft drumming and intricate percussion, all weaving a psychedelic spell that transports you to the band s sunny world. on the flip lisbon s maestro deejay tiago takes us further into the same world, but via a different route. soulful keys and gentle congas ease us down to the beach to soak in the future jazz. pretty much, the message is... all about sunshine golf channel every time !

weve been meaning to put out some music by our friend harald ever since we started this wee operation five years ago. imagine our joy now that were ready to release not one, but two masterful records signed mr. bjoerk!

4 friends who rather be early than l8te. mechatok is the man. 18 years old, relatively new in the game, he is delivering on a level we didnt even know was existing before we got to check out his stuff. moving effordlessly between contemporary pop aesthetics, video game soundtrack and dubstep influences he produces music that could work as a score to the nasa end-of-the-year resume commercial but also gets your local dancefloor into new spheres. this of course is only one interpretation it could also be normal musik in some better place, we suggest you go there and stay as long as you can.

from the storming energy of opening cut the key of night all the way through to the deepertripping solar fields its a must-have ep for >those who know<. young uk based producer cleric has established himself not only as a bonafide new talent and key player in the international techno world, but also as a prolific artist on figure. now well known for his crisp, deadly club tracks and rich melancholic ambient studies, in this fifth single for the label he explores his hard-hitting yet luxurious sound ever further. whats immediate about the four tracks on offer here is clerics extremely powerful, yet masterfully controlled bass frequencies. coupled with his addictive, smart and dark 90s-reminiscent synth hooks, we are left with an array of stomping, percussive weapons primed for expansive spaces and killer sound systems.

there are some elements in electronic music that make them timeless, elements that if melted togheter they can give an impressive result, to the mind and to the body. sawlin - ursprung is the first album of the career of sawlin, after his debut in 2010 he evolved like a wonderful orchid, an orchid that never followed the flow of the other flowers around him, but found his own way to the music. ursprung is the result of an interminable evolution in the mind of the artist, 8 elements that complete a circle buit on a very mysterious athmosphere, like a film that you never saw, but you always had in your head, something more bigger then a memory, and something more deep then a picture.

2015 looks to be delta funktionen s year. following the terrifically dark and deep wasteland series comes -a new planet-. a cold electro beat is the bedrock from which a corrupting and corrosive 303 coil grows. but even with this caustic foundation, moments of salvation are to be found. a second techno moon dawns midway, frostier percussion giving way to warmer rhythms. full and flowing bars fall and rise behind the squawk, allowing a new and brighter element to bloom. a track that is at once atmospheric and club centric from an artist at the top of his game. this will be released as a limited single sided 12- vinyl with a silkscreen print on the b side.

we’re finishing 2015 with what is pretty much a mini lp by borrowed identity, an inspired producer based in freiburg. there’s a lot here and we think you should just listen to and enjoy the record, draw your own conclusions, but what we will say here is the a is ballsy house and the b is tough techno that touches on trance occasionally. get why it’s called the contrast?

its a very exciting time for soul of hex right now. not only have they hit upon a rich vein of creative inspiration and clearly loving every second of being in the studio making some brilliant music, but the young duo from tijuana also seem to be inadvertently, or maybe purposefully, shaping a fresh new direction for the mexican house scene. taking influences from detroit via berlin, and with a knowledge of house, jazz, funk, soul and disco which goes way beyond their years sebastien vorhaus and 4004 are in the vanguard of this new generation of house producers and are already making their mark worldwide through releases on cvmr, mcde, faces and their own vicario ltd imprint.

ive been involved in two or three major genres that are very different from each other, says vaughn robert squire from canada, better known as prison garde, who is making his true romance debut with our trep009. about his melody ep, he says: its gospel-influenced house stuff. its in line with the last couple records that i put out, but i feel like its a little more mature and that the quality of the recording is a lot higher than anything else ive done as prison garde. i recorded it at the phi centre in montreal - its a beautiful cultural center in the old port. ango and i locked ourselves in there and did a live record on an ssl in a big room.

detroits jared wilson provides the 10th release for super rhythm trax and it lives up to it s title.
on *plate mining* and *idea of a deep state*, jared goes in deep with lush, strings that sooth you as the 303 works it s magic underneath. while *how deep* provides a brooding acid line and works the percussion. minimal but deadly.
jared has long been on the srtx want list after proving himself as a master craftsman with a slew of classy releases on his own 7777 label. super rhythm trax is overjoyed to have him on the roster being one of the most skilled knob twiddlers out there who knows how to work it but also and perhaps more importantly, when to hold back.

baastards never sleep! so dont think we were napping but just on the hunt to further the baastard family. whilst searching italy we found not one but two baastards, brothers so it must be genetic.

alex north’s work for ballet, symphony orchestra, television and film continues to stand the test of time almost 25 years after his death. although nominated 15 times for an academy award, it wasn’t until 1986 that he was finally given due recognition when a lifetime achievement oscar was bestowed upon him. but, as this soundtrack lp so amply demonstrates, his pioneering work on streetcar remains one of alex north’s crowning achievements.

one of the most talented musicians of the new york jazz scene but who frees himself completely from borders of the jazz to have a walk in 4 corners of great black music. leron is already well known from public thanks to guts hit man funk, it is also him the singer and the frontman of guts live band the featuring of bilal and simon, the leader of hiatus kaiyote.

when umek introduced his moniker zeta reticula at the beginning of the century, he got the following review: *sounds something like a cross between basic channel style minimalism, anthony rother electro bliss and ummmm.... umek and his crazy synthetic chords and razor sharp production.* his sound has changed since, but it seems like he is not immune to some nostalgia. electro nostalgia to be exact.

dj ralf is the italian icon who runs the much loved laterra recordings label and management, and is now back with ‘er suonone’, a new track from margot that is all set to be a late summer smash. anyone who has heard the legendary dj ralf (a cult figure who has been the subject of a documentary, has played all over the world, runs his own legendary bella ciao party and holds a cult residency in cocorico) play recently will most likely have heard this track in his set, and it has been an unknown but much loved secret weapon for a while now. as such this one sided vinyl pressing will please many people who have been hunting it down. margot, of course, is an italian pair of accomplished producers who have released on, les disques de la mort, hell yeah and border community and run their own margot records label. ‘er suonone’ is a pumping, deep, slow burning bit of cosmic house that builds and builds and teasers listens without ever releasing the pressure. monstrous kick drums drive it down below, pixelated stabs add suspense in the distance and icy hi hats slither in the foreground. it’s the sort of track to drop right at the peak time and it will surely go right off, with people fist pumping along to the groove.
early support by dj ralf, prins thomas, ivan smagghe, erol alkan, ed (chemical brothers), jody wisternoff, sasha, innervisions, jared, luca c, nick warren, fatboy slim, edwin (the foals), reude hagelstein, catz n dogz, laurent garnier, dubfire, martin ikin…

ok, we are quite slow on releasing records, but here is our next release on film. we stumbled upon the artist on a reseach for a music video - in the end we didn t discover a video director, but denial.of.service, an artist in many fields including music, video and performance art. as he ist active since the early eighties, he was involved in numerous projects, doing productions, remixes and videos for and with artists like david bowie, attrition extrawelt and daf. if you take a closer look on his artistic activity since the early 80ies ever then you will quickly realize there is a whole universe to uncover foald from around this artist. our suggestion: start with this fine ep, featuring a hidden secret artwork that unveils in the dark.

our third to last release combines two driving forces of contemporary techno: homegrown benjamin damage is joined by truncate, a deadly combination for any dj s bag. ben damage s -battle- sees him layer his hyperactive grooves over a thumping kick with a small but effective acid line topping things off. truncate s -86- is a massive track dave sumner aka function previously used in his -berghain 07- mix, obviously serving as one of the highlights in there. it s creeping synths build up to a climax in typical truncate fashion, with huge, compressed kickdrums pounding the dance floor mercilessly

selected advent deal - gerry read with a complete leftfield take on house music. mental jacktrax! mental jacktrax by gerry read. easy to resist these non-formulaic jack tracks in the days of conformist dance music cause its not the tunes that will make your crew do the fist pump thing during the weekly big headliner rave... but we like!! mr read is funky as fuck and reminds us a bit of dutch techno punks unit moebius (which is always a good thing!)

spacey detroit-inspired electro from new maltese producer microlith, aka rhys celeste. brought to the labels attention by the mighty dave monolith, they were instantly hooked. microlith sits well among the likes of b12, plaid and afx (analord era), but with a strong electro rhythm preference rather than the aforementioned artists 4/4 techno. rhys admits to being heavily influenced by 90’s techno

limited to 250 copies.spain s alex font inaugurates his new acme imprint. on the a side, sound on canvas is deep and percussive minimal house with a rolling bassline and trippy sound design that is typically suited to awkward and paranoid afterhours shenanigans. the rhythm gets up more on the deep house tip, still keeping the exotic wooden percussion grooves with organ stabs and dreamy, swirling keys that fans of the mountain people or agnes and quarion will appreciate. on the flip into the flux is a sweaty, peak time people mover, using the same reliable elements like on the other side but with a swing fuelled groove and a hell of a lot of funk that fans of sascha dive or brothers vibe will no doubt dig.

nice price deal !!! tadd mullinix returns to the lesser spotted charles manier avatar for the second album release on his bopside label, and the first under this guise following releases for nation and ghostly. the resulting 11 track album is mostly new material with a lineage of inspiration that can be traced back decades, from box banging ebm club trax to spectral beatless excursions. drawing influence from a variety of sources but still a cohesive, engaging listen - ‘american manier‘ is destined to become a future underground classic.

known for rocking clubs as far as tokyo, new york, sydney, auckland, moscow and beyond- outside of productions inkswel has gained a name of respect when it comes to rocking the dance floor. early bboy fundamentals have salted his finely tuned craft, with a broad back catalogue of productions on labels such as bbe, rush hour, lumberjacks in hell, superior elevation and wolf music. oye records now brings his first ever edits release- previously only heard on dancefloors, jams that inkswel reconstructed for that purpose only- -making people dance . serving as tools for the groove, but unmistakably with the inxxxwel trademark sound. super limited pressing, launching the official oye edits imprint- party jams for party people.

it was in high school where music joined these two boys, exchanging deep techno and trance cassettes between classes. they grew and decided to study their passion, musical production. pablo & nani share the same style but each one does it differently in their own way, we could define it as deep tech-house. in this first ep they had clear ideas, they wanted to do a vinyl that could be played at the club, either in warm up and peak time, and they have done so. “the people we like” is the favorite of dactilar, modern deep house full of details with a clean groove. “for russia with love”, pablo’s favorite, classic deep techno in honor of all his russian followers. “krampf” is the bad guy of the movie, mental techno for long dj mixes, and “the hum”, dark and powerful from beginning to end. after so many years we are pleased to present pablo bolivar & dactilar together.

a-side opens with a post-apocalyptic anthem, which makes you want to sniff glue until all worlds break down. followed by sirvan, a hypnotic, self-reflective rat catcher - vocal house is back. changing sides brings you rufex, which initially takes you back to dubby berlin times, but ends up with rumbling witches playing their boneshaking rattles. mattlack rounds it up with a messy, synth-stabbing ravelifter - for doormen only!
