juan atkins legendary first electro productions from the mid-80’s now repressed!

ltd 2019 repress !! folamour comes here with a crossover 12-, exploring the whole spectrum of human emotion through his personal vision of a journey. the vinyl record starts with novalaise, sweet memory of the french country where the producer s from. the track builds itself up around a slow progression of a catchy acoustic piano loop. the listen goes on with la pierre et le sabre, in which folamour spreads his love for french 90 s house vibes, paying tribute to soul and gospel, two genres that mainly influence him. b-side starts with rue d amsterdam, an undeniably hip-hop influenced track on which folamour develops keyboards, bass and vocal samples around a rough beat, taking the listener away on an inescapable urban dream. the record ends with l Île des gauchers, bewitching song inspired by folamour s literary ravings (alexandre jardin in particular). the track progression can be compared as a book reading, rocked byan ubiquitous bassline, attending its voices until the last furrow.

now, chinaski s first solo ep for the dresden based label is at the ready.

vom house-talent zum songwriter-genie: emotionales indie-dance-album.

* beyond the clouds* was recorded from a live session near the heart of detroit using hand crafted modular synthesizers, analog devices and custom made effects units. remastered by ron murphy @ nsc mastering, detroit, usa shortly before he passed away, his memory will live in our hearts forever. in this live version of cv313s classic, the modular recordings were separated, dissected in the mix and dubbed out with a litany of analog effects. during this performance there was a mystical element in the air, strobe lights, vaporous gas and electric dreams. a connection felt with the dancers, a groove beyond a groove, it is that magical essence of japan. this was a night to remember, recorded live in tokyo with love. during the closing moments, the ghostly ambiance faded, the smoke cleared and beyond the sequence was born. remastered by bazza @ alchemy studio, london. uk

amaniel presents its third release, this time with 2 original tracks by vinyl club recordings mastermind lu ringeisen plus a superb remix of funk e . 180 g, vinyl only!

steve murphy presents his new acid and industrial-tinged techno project, the night flyer, on lobster theremin’s cryptic black label imprint. a fear-addled chill seething down the spine and a machine-grinding, acid terror-bird emerging from the deep night, the night flyer is an expectedly dark take on the seedier end of technoid nightmares, while hanging a distinctly cold (wave?) atmosphere over cobbled, crushed analogue structures.

the first release on the perth imprint cosi cosi, basic mind’s “grotto” catalyses some of the great innovations of both continental and atlantic analogue techno, 80s formalism, late drexciyan funk, darkroom acid, and indeed is one of australia’s purest sources of that ultra-orthodox, hardware-based sound.

after the nuclear arms test that was the brain poacher black label, canary islands resident gilmer galibard returns to the lobster family via lucid, murky sub-label mörk. taking a much more languid and contemplative approach to his followup, “lost tapes” finds itself washed ashore on a waves of warm, translucent, salt-infused techno and house.

vinyl only release

b1: in my head is a solid slice of deepness.
b2: about that closes the ep nicely with superb grooving and athmospheric textures.

benales opens the e.p. with radiate, a track where you can clearly hear his influences of the american school of 90s minimal techno. long time dj but new on the production side, this is benales first effort on vinyl. after his initial masterpiece on knotweed records (kw006) and a handful of releases on demented (hiss 1992) and krill, opuswerk is back on knotweed with displacement, a trippy, hard hitting, analogic techno attack: no concession on this one! gonzalo md has already delivered the goods on both knotweed (kw004 and kw011) and decision making theory (dmt 006), as well as a fantastic ep recently on extrasolar. here, with sharp oscillation, he keeps developing his unique style, producing a highly percussive, almost samba-like, piece of techno. label owner philippe petit closes the e.p. with indian summer, a track moving along a warm bassline, bearing some recognisable krautrock influences.

no fancy business class air lounge mumbo jumbo this time, no.8 just got clearance for take off and this one is first and foremost for the pilots. the a side hits you loud and direct like a cessna centurion engine, accessible, reliable and just damn good in the air. now if b1 is some kind of an adventurous but gentle doppel-decker, manoeuvrable­ small craft, then low altitude b2 breaks the cloud cover to take you on that magic night-flight you might later be uncertain if it ever really happened. limited edition - vinyl only !

freamon is a denizen of the modern world, allegedly hailing from ny, according to some, not relevant, says he. what matters is the music -in this case- three finely honed and carefully crafted dancefloor gems, presented together as “the black grid ep”, served up with love the way they used to be, the way they ought to be.

jäfar make a rapid return to the label and are back to grace the a side of fragil 019, while one half of the duo (elliot sindall) also pairs up with constantin nakov as seura on the flip. black mamba recalls certain aspects of jäfar s previous work on the label: the broken drum line, the subtle vocal samples and the global hypnotic aspect of the music. yet it is also radically different from marzsia. black mamba is a subtle but direct club track, aiming to get the dancers down through its heavy groove. the kick drum and low toms are strongly suggesting leg movement, joining forces with the snares and hats which call upon some serious head nodding.on the b side, white chapel is another broken beat club piece, but this time feels crafted for the afterhours. the groove is lighter and the heady feel is strong, closing the dancer s eyes and inviting them to drift through the music. once again, fragil comes up with original, well produced and highly danceable content, highlighting unsung talents for every versatile dj out there.

mr scruff & ge-ology remixes
manchester s very own mr scruff and nyc crate digger ge-ology remix moscow s lay-far! now that s what we call a truly international release. it s kind of a dream release for us at local talk as both scruff and ge-ology have been on our we wanna get them on local talk plastic list for quite some time. starting off we find scruff going for a slight disco(ish) rub where analogue synths bumps around with a dark but musical basement feel...but still jazzy! on the flip our man ge-ology who is riding high on the hype from his release on theo parrish s sound signature label goes on a deep and spaced out electronic house venture that is so edgy it hurts. its that good good shit basically...enjoy!

stamp records delve into the past for their next release, giving a new lease of life to one of swayzak s least characteristic and most sought-after tracks. swayzak are true heroes of the uk underground, having clocked numerous seminal releases in the late 90 s and early 00 s straddling the grey area between house and techno. disco dub plate volume 2 - originally out in 2000 - was an obvious anomaly in the duo s discography, that has managed to forge a path of its own amongst a completely different crowd to swayzak s usual disciples. one cut from that ep, stronger love , is a carefully arranged marriage between a certain pair of quintessential aor darlings and the soul voice of the 80 s. can we be more specific? no can do...it shouldn t really work, but somehow it does! it s been caned by many a balearic dj over the years, including mark seven who included it in his mythical originals compilation, where it holds its ground amongst other balearic heavyweights. as an added bonus for this 2016 edition we re treated to two brand new mixes ! frank agrario teases in bits of the original making for his chunkier version that is aimed squarely at the dancefloor, while brun (1/2 of swayzak) delivers a bang up-to-date dub that keeps its elements to the bare minimum, building into a deep hypnotic house chugger.

after releasing three successful and well received solo e.p.’s over the summer of 2015, tim xavier (label boss) rings in 2016 with a new “late 90’s chicago jack” styled body of tracks appropriately titled “1999”. already getting play by: truncate, eric cloutier, ben sims, dj hyperactive, la-4a (ambivalent), slam, magit cacoon, dustin zahn, technasia, agaric, lando, len faki, raíz, adrian lopez, luigi madonna……..
