sd records keeps them fine tunes coming, this time with the long awaited debut of roswell return. on the a-side the title track iftodex c0001 which can be best described as deep space acid: a long and trippy beatless track that keeps evolving around a powerful acid line and deep strings, which sound like a journey through space past bright shining stars and fast pulsating white dwarfs. on the b-side you will find the sd remix by syncom data, who hardly need any introduction, and they have turned the original into an irresistible, deep and warm dancefloor smasher in the best detroit tradition.

a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented

this is the first of a 3 part limited natural midi (detroit) . each track will combine todays progressive sounds with yesterdays classic drum machines namely the 808, 909 and 606. each 12 inch will have a limited, numbered vinyl release. the amount of the pressing will coincide with the name of each particular drum machine. the sonic objective of these releases would be to show that anything classic can never go out of style...

2 huuuge molella sign!! everyone should know the original track on the a side!!

part man, part machine, part cockatiel, cage & aviary take flights of fancy whenever they can. jamie paton is a dj, a one finger keyboardist, and a pot tickler. nigel of bermondsey is a musician, south londons finest oscillator, and a dedicated dabbler. together they are winners of the cosmic lottery. having put out releases to mini acclaim on the ltd editions that are dissident distribution, they are now set to spread their wings with new ventures lined up for paris based astro lab recordings, and nycs mighty dfa, to name but two. also in the pipeline is a series of ltd remix 12s on their own the walls have ears imprint - watch this...

pure analogue italo-esque vocoder tackle from berlin that really hits the spot. pretty face is midtempo and slightly menacing and happy birthday shifts the tempo up a bit and treats the vocals to the other end of the vocoder spectrum. they are totally separate but sequenced so you can let the side run thru (a trick we pinched from disconet and hot tracks) or take your pick

big with : loco dice, luciano, sis, reboot !!! the release is the last of the masomenos live mix project... and close the serie of 8 eps that were released for this... a sided les 3 petits cochons is a real dancefloor tune, heavy and funky, as in the tale, you can feel the wolf blowing and the little pigs running... on b side, loco is an old - school sound track, deep and moody, with some crazy vocal asking for some bass... b2 , turtle is back, is a dubby re-do of one of the first masomenos production...turtle trip... same mood, heavier groove....slowly but surely the melody gets in your head to mesmerise you...

ltd warehouse find... amazing 2 ep package by ion ludwig!! cornerstones is an ep that will prove to become another successful tool used by many in the international circuit, full of intricate rhythms with a low-end that can knock your glass off the table... on the ace expect some rolling basses - people will find it very hard not to dance to. prepare for the deeper swamplands on the flip side.

slam release the second single on their new imprint paragraph. the new single hot knives is a beast of a track and is being touted by many as their biggest dance floor destroyer since positive education!!! >hot knives< will be one of the biggest techno tracks of the year and is already a massive record for the lucky few djs who have it. balanced by the deep and twisted >whats on your mind< which slam previewed on their recent sci-fi hi-fi mix cd dubfire - yo track is sick. going to make my new year. this is huge. / paul ritch - what a massiv crazy tune!!!!!!!!! / laurent garnier - the new track from slam is fucking massive. you can be sure that i will hammer this. anja schneider : yes yes yes... / len faki - this is a crazy big one - love it! / adam beyer - thx a million for this. big tune, will definitely play

dub as dub can ... finest dope delivered by rhythm and sound once again.

the right side up ep is the first solo record release from frankie j since his departure from the famed sound republic duo that spatula city records knows so well. what you can expect is all the flavorings of the style you know so well but will leave your breath with long lasting freshness. on the a side we have shuck n jive, which is a super bouncy throwback to the classic ghetto house sound that keep asses in the air and feet working. the flip side burns with a tasty new school jacker called phat soul kicks.

first vinyl pressing of twin infinitives since the original vinyl issue in 1990. after moving to san francisco, royal trux released the highly experimental double album twin infinitives. this album remains an extreme work on the periphery of rock music, worthy of being compared to lou reeds metal machine music and suicides debut album. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high brow allusions, twin infinitives nearly reeks of vice, a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery.

the community of people who like to eat other people invite weichentechnikk to their disturbing parties. he was inspired by this meat masacre and created a killer ep for the cannibal society! hard as can be and with a wicked twist.. massive!!

compared by adam beyer, truesoul is the ying to the yang of the techno tastemakers better known drumcode label. equally well respected, equally forward thinking, both labels are very much at the forefront of what is going on in electronic music. operating on a broad remit and refusing to be restricted by genre boundaries, truesoul offers an oasis for the great and good of techno where they can experiment with elements of electronica, downtempo, house and minimal. having hosted the work of cari lekebusch, joel mull, nihad tule, par grindvik, speedy j and beyer himself, the mantel is now passed to dustin zahn. best known for his ever reliable enemy records imprint, zahn is one of the most in-demand producer / djs on the techno circuit with his releases for the likes of drumcode, droid and audio assault staple choices for many

neo-trance theme !!! angels of kindness are seesawing in their fluffy clouds while eavesdropping the new opus - and yes, one can easily call it an opus - of catekk. dunning the sound creeps up (up from the viennese flex club?) through this mundane labyrinth. muse awakened the apocalyptic riders with its kiss and instead of the twilight of gods you are served subtle grooves, which only admit zeus sharp lightning to pass through the thunderclouds of bass. thunderstorm and labyrinth makes, how could it else be? a markus lange remix, who obviously enjoyed remixing this big theme, while following catekks traces in the wind. whos still missing? yes, newbornchristians must be around, when it comes to remixes with the perfect relation between foolishness and intelligence.

after the first release (raute004) hymne der aufgehenden sonne, which had already massive feedback, we can now present the new release which has a wide spectrum of electronic music the original mix is more commercial for the clubs, the morgenroethe rautenkranzz mix is very minimalistic. simply a perfect vinyl for the underground clubs but also the main halls

after almost two years of experience with labels suruba records and suruba digital, los suruba, alias below delmar and varo, dive into a new adventure: suruba x. a deeper, eclectic and more personal label than the previous, suruba x will be dedicated to minor styles, even considered as far from the dance floor . the 1st reference is starred by english artist alex grzybowski, who had his first appearance in the suruba family with the 8th release of suruba digital.this polar parts ep/suruba digital 008 has been his last release, but this english artist who started producing along wih his decks mate from sleaze club (leeds) simon baker has already released under aka the liptrick in labels such as 2020vision or infant records. this time, alex is presenting 4 tracks, two in the vinyl version and two extra tracks in the digital version of the release. all of them with an exquisite stylish house full of textures and layers, though in every track we can perceive how eclectic can this leeds artist be

rezkars fascination with music began with his parents record collection. listening to local radio stations as a child, he heard 80s tracks. as an adult he discovered the magic of 60s and 70s jazz and funk. one day, his cousin played a track that he immediately fell in love with. he later learned that this was house music. he discovered the fruity loops sequencer software and thought, why not try to make my own tracks, after all, it cant really be that hard? deep house can sound deceptively simple. its a bit like japanese anime, rezkar says. it looks so cute and easy to draw, but try to actually draw it, and you will discover its even harder than realistic drawings. the thing about house is that if you try too hard it can come across as being very cheesy, but then again, if you dont do enough it can sound incomplete. finding the balance is not easy, rezkar admits. after hearing his music, one finds that he is learning this lesson quite well.

we can proudly announce with this release we will start with a special series of forthcoming releases named >tomic & friends<. this and all following releases in this series will contain always one original track from our main artist tomic and one of a friend of him. the releases will be published only on vinyl and in a limited edition.

on some things you can always rely on - ruede hagelstein s dog vs. dog series belongs to it without doubt. and he is also not disappointing with the no.4. on the contrary - hagelstein offers us two very different tracks, but which have one thing in common: quality! aerohonica appears unusually housy and melancholic, whereas scissor mouse is a breaker in ruedes typically manner. both tracks are high class floor bombs! the same procedere as every year? - with dog, with pleasure.

yes, it really is that slow! john roberts pushes the boundaries of how slow can you go on this beautiful jazz infected bit of deepness. one-sided, limited edition, get it before you cant!

traum is proud to welcome the new wunderkind from the uk, max cooper. max is a great uk dj who is also involved in mathematical modelling research on the evolution of networks of genes at university college london, a sci-art project combining evolutionary and music production algorithms. max cooper has many lives and he is a true wizard in his category. born originally in belfast he has been resident at the rumour as well as playing his 9th year at clubnight >firefly<. max can be heard regularly djing in the key - london, stealth - nottingham and the cross - london. he was quickly recognised by the media, receiving the label of mixmag future hero . max has joined traum with a 3 tracker involving top english producer kanio for a remix of the a-side track >harmonisch serie<. max coopers innovative programming positions him music-wise alongside artists such as dominik eulberg, minilogue and extrawelt. his epic structure has a unique narrative character to it which distinguishes him from others and sometimes dares to become almost soundtrack like, full of ambience. maybe this is best expressed by his b2 track >i< . his debut on traum is a unique sound sensation of incredible details and big sound layouts, as if made for traum. melodic and gentle but at the same time energetic and full of colours with a sci fi edge to it! max has also remixed extrawelts >im garten von eben<

ceephaxs drive time k7 was released as a bonus cassette with his first album, and is a cult classic. half an hour of music per side, ranging from banging vocal acid to the deepest and darkest side of ambient, with everything in between. the 27 tracks are a perfect description of andy jenkinson s original music universe, his roots. it took about quite a while to transfer it onto acetate, it was one of the most challenging vinyl cut that anyone can imagine. the making of this record is kind of similar to homer s iliad. the stamper was then stored for several years, safe from the dangers of heat and daylight. just like for the nicest bottles of wine. firtcask records just took this jewel out of the cellar...

1992 classics... compiled by kevin saunderson and neil rushton! incl tracks by blake baxter, underground resistance, terrence parker and many more

original soundtrack of the never made movie >brotherman< from 1974.

back in stock !!! a fine ep by one of the original practitioners of the detroit dj style, now emerging as an accomplished producer, having been tutored as a teenager in the art of the dj by detroits celebrated ken collier in the early 1980s. delano here delivers pure detroit bliss with that intimate vibe that holds the listener and dancer with a compelling groove that seems to have minimal momentum but never misses a beat. we gave this collection of four sublime detroit minimal house tracks the name sunrise ep, because we can imagine dancing to these tracks at 7am with the sun coming up

on Áir with barem, ryan crosson, margaret dygas, karotte, anthony collins, hugo and many more!!! the berlin / lausanne based avant-garde label minimood moves straight forward, presenting swiss artist gregorythme from the legendary cadenza duo digitaline, who irresistibly demonstrates how groovy calculating square roots can be!! together with minimoods permanent tokyo-based artist so inagawa, yet another scene bending offer from this evolving labels stable is brought directly to your lovely turntables: the square roots ep

dark and demanding high class housemusic in raoul ks signature style. despite the somewhat strange title (jenseits meaning >afterlive< - originating from a play of words in the baobab music office), the record delivers in real life! rich instrumentation, including traditional african instruments as well as long build-ups and a dramatic breakdown. and a shimmering atmosphere to get you in the right mood. all you can ask for in a contemporary housemusic release. especially enriched with the special mr. raoul k twist, just the way youd expect it

kenneth james gibson is a man of many different personas. the list of his releases over the past years is way too much for this infosheet, so lets skip this part for now. under the moniker of apendics.shuffle hes visiting mos ferry prod. for the third time. >you got my harmony< is not only a title for this e.p. you can take this phrase literally. his sound fits the label like few others. along with his two extremely grooving tracks >finding harmony< and >you got my< the package also contains two remixes by tim xavier and olene kadar. they definitely share our faible for >frickelsound<. tim turnes the original track in a dry, more driven techno version. olene - with young ambition and restlessness - starts quiet relaxed, but carries his arrangement of the given samples to the extreme, again

ruede hagelsteins the modest theme has proven to be one of souvenirs most provocative releases so far. released in the summer, the tracks dramatic horn hook is so epic it belongs in a science fiction film and as a piece of forward thinking techno, it ranks among one of souvenirs best. now the track is back with a remix from souvenir spearheads tiefschwarz alongside a new track from berlin based ruede. semikolon is another dark and dubby deep tech-housy outing for ruede that begins with a dramatic spoken word by naneci and ominous organ stabs. as the track progresses it takes on a chicago house vibe re-imagined at 10am in the panorama bar. an urgent bell begins to ring through the track raising the tension as the vocal intones a surreal chant before giving way to huge synth stabs that lead the track into a slow motion emotional explosion. just when things can get any more hectic the crescendo sinks to silence compressing the energy before the beats emerge back in their earlier deep house guise. ali and bast schwarz take their turn at remixing the modest theme fresh from their incendiary remix of emad kamandians kamanche for souvenir 012. the signature dramatic horn riff remains albeit injected with new percussion lending the track a tough tech house appeal that places it within the context of 2008s underground house sound. both tracks are another addition to souvenirs impressive collection of music aimed at the head just as much as they are at the heart and feet.

after a wait of 15 years and numerous 12es, e s, random compilation tracks and remixes rude 66 has finally finished a full length album and dare we say it s his most cohesive work to date? sadistic tendencies begins where 2005 s three faces of fear ep ended, with 18 tracks that slide like snails on the edge of straight razors, exploring the dark side of the human condition. thematically connected, deep, dark and mind bendingly analogue, sadistic tendencies is both tense and full of release, sometimes brooding and encroaching at other times exploding into throbbing synth laden dance floor bombs. superlatives aside, sadistic tendencies works exceptionally well as an album and is one of those rare 70 minute journey s that can be enjoyed from beginning to end – like a good horror movie that scares the hell out of you, but keeps drawing you in.

d.a.v.e the drummer is one of the uks most loved techno djs with a reputation built on a massive catalogue of ground breaking productions. his very own hydraulix label has been a scene leader and now comes a classic for the hydraulix remix label. originally on san francisco label infectious back in 2006, hotwire has been gaining a lot of interest on the net and due to its appearance on d.a.v.e. hydraulix mix cd. with copies of the original being very hard to find, you can now get it in all its glory with a 2008 remix from the man himself giving a new harder edge

can deadmau5 get any bigger, with what has been a meteoric rise for the young canadian in 2008, 2 greatly acclaimed albums and best newcomer in dj top 100 poll along with a string of dancefloor monsters to his name, he has set the dance world ablaze. one of dm5s biggest tracks is handed to his cohort adam k who keeps the peak time sensibilities, with alternative takes from noir & the house moguls giving play records another big hit for release 10!

rinder & lewis: anger - considered one of the most abstract production teams of the disco era, this cut was taken from their >seven deadly sins< album (very rare!). never released on 12inch inch, this cut was a music box fave! not much to edit, just give it a dj friendlier drum intro. a great cut for a disco or a deep house set!mighty clouds of joy: time - one of my favorite edits! taken from their >its time< album. even thought this song was produced by dave crawford, the philly sound played a big part in it (thanks to norman harris on guitar & earl young on drums). the song was originally recorded in 2 parts, so i combined them with a little bit of dub. yes, you can give praise and boogie at the same time!

whether it is early december or late august, gel abril keeps it hot or cool - depending on which side of the equator youre on - with an exceptional 12inch of synth soaked, bleep saturated and tech drenched house. all exclusively produced by the talented shlomi aber in their hometown of tel aviv, israel. collectively they have released on josh winks ovum rec as well as their own acclaimed be as one imprint. eerie sounds meshed with techno chirps are trademark elements of the be as one crew sound, but it is the dramatic synth chord breakdowns and perfectly plump and rounded kick drum that stand out in this outing. so plump and juicy in fact, one can almost get lost in >miranda< through the rhythmic thudding of the pristine bass drum. suddenly a parade of jumbled synth snippets frolic and bobble around like umpa lumpas randomly jumping on a trampoline. think this track is all fun and games? play this peak time and watch the crowd do the >tel aviv shuffle<. don t know what that is? watch it appear before your eyes as the hypnotic sound washes over the ears of the captivated crowd

rmxs by clouded vision & noob ! i met brodi early last year, he had a track called >bad runner< that i had been playing incessantly. it leaked onto blog sites months before its release on mental groove in october 2007. it found its way into erols box among many others very early on and the hot fuss began. as a dj, despite hailing from france (reims, lille), unexpectedly brodis taste is broad. if your expecting banging gnarly electro bombs… unlucky. he can play anything from noisy techno, bass heavy house through to more melodic minimal. plus, if you think you spend more time searching the net for new tunes than anyone else, think again. this guy is committed and now his second, and even better ep is here and he has saved it just for turbo
