whether it is deep, tech, percussive, disco, chicago or minimal, ray okpara doesnt leave any sub-genre out of the pool. in a lucid representation of himself, ray delivers an 11-piece bundle of soul lifting, mind and body empowering dance tracks under the core title, good times.

sleep ds bacon ep is the next offering from sydneys excellent death strobe imprint. sleep d are a couple of young cats from melbourne, the production duo are sure to be an integral part of the deep house explosion coming from their city, spearheaded by the likes of tornado wallace, fantastic man and the melbourne deepcast crew. the record has a range of flavours all tied together by a fundamental warmth and soulfulness. the title track flows and floats in a dreamlike state, whilst simultaneously nailing the groove from beat one. bubbles vs the cat takes it up a notch, entering the club realm with rich bass and tight rhythms. their remix of chet fakers love & feeling is certain to give any dance floor a collective orgasm, oozing an erotic strangeness as it heaves and thrusts away, while ischa has a tickle of techno thrown into the mix and, despite its druggy sedation, has a hidden energy for dancing feet. one limited pressing.

vinyl only! limited to 300 copies worldwide. these two swinging cats deliver four funked up vintage house cuts that will touch your mind, body and soul. the fellowship of the funk gets down straight to the floor with their first release.

leskin, massimo di lena, joseph russel and rio padice (aka the early sound collective) deliver four outstanding deep & raw house/techno cuts. of course, shitloads of records come out these days that fit the deep & raw house description, but this stuff just goes beyond. without falling back into cliche, their characteristic use of analog equipment takes you right back into the early days of hypnotic, raw & soulful machine music competing with the detroit/chicago cats from back in the day.

join the dots reaches its dirty dozen in the form of leeds based noiseniks death on the balcony. after a year of rather big releases, hanging out with wolf & lamb, soul clap and other assorted cool cats and playing a hectic schedule of gigs across the world that literally saw fans throwing themselves (from a ruddy great height apparently) at our boys they now contribute dot012 to the jtds family. whilst being described as everything from disco, house, deep techno and any number of other pointless monikers (these are just their own descriptions we should add), death on the balcony have you could say come home to roost. think of us as their crash mat, their safety harness, their bungee cord. we are going to look after them whilst they just sit back and admire the view.

for his debut on circus recordings maher teams up with fellow montreal man michael gracioppo aka casa. with a successful 8bit ep under his belt, plus a remix of homeworks >i m into this<, the canadian is a talent to keep an eye on. >malgra< sees the pair plunging deep under the jungle canopy. xylophone melody, drum rolls and dramatic breaks help create a unique atmosphere.
a bumper remix package is lead by kaiserdisco who bring their trademark funk with a weighty, warped baseline and euphoric break.
new zealands emerson todd follows us recent smash on saved with a smooth house workout. from the sleekness of that mix to the downright trip-tastic rework from new boys, acid mondays. these cats have been playing with those tree frogs again!

this ep represents a landmark on nice cats history as fiat 600 cuts a deep slice of musical history on chileans underground scene, since >the pinochet boys< , back in the 80s where miguel conejeros started his unique approach to groove making as the brains of this legendary art-punk band ( think glaxo babies meets los angeles negros) and throughout his oblique jungle-drums and bass excursion in the nineties this national treasure always knows how to deliver the unexpected and leave a sweet aftertaste. here are six offbeat dance gems , including his reworking of villalobos-los updatess >miss u so<. we at nice cat try to keep it cool but , if truth needs to be told , we are gleaming with pride. nice cat 05 . all tracks and music by miguel conejeros except a3 ( ricardo villalobos / jorge gonzález) and b2 ( carlos vergara-miguel conejeros). artwork by yvonne blanco

for the first time on this planet dial owner lawrence shows up on an excursion to his beloved pampa imprint. the double feature >kurama” presents two deepy enchanting anthems, a timeless vision of love. after touring around the globe with his new label mate dj koze since ages, having the most successful release in dial history with kosis efdemin remix, sharing music with each other like crackbrained, it is not a big surprise for lawrence to occur with two of his best pieces on pampa records. well known for his releases on mule electronic, ghostly international, styrax and his own imprints smallville, dial and laid, it was his first mix cd on cocoon >timeless< which made lawrence put some cats among the pigeons. with the new pampa again he has proved that the holy temple of deepness has to invite some flawy hypnotists once in a while to get clouded and shaken. the number 09 is dedicated to two most famous experiences in japan: the kurama mountain in kyoto, one of the most amazing places on earth, and oolong high, one of the most amazing drinks on earth- cold oolong tea on the rocks with a zip of japanese shochu liquor. after koze and lawrence had another few of these beverages again they started dreaming of this wonderful release

aux-rec is back for its fourth project, following the >baker man< edit by soul clap (so good it became an official remix on laid backs label), first class remixes by franco cinelli and the >caught up< bootleg by le loup & funkalicious james aka childhood 87. we are feverish to bring you today two new bomb bootlegs by argentine top producers leonel castillo and lexdinamo. those in the know have been familiar with these names for over ten years now and know how rare their productions are. as a matter of fact, this is probably the first time you will be able to get your hands on such bootleg productions from these two cats. leonel castillos signature shuffly blend is unmistakably recognizable on this a-side, on which he pays his tribute to one of the most emotional soul masterpieces by the dells, the 74 released >i wish it was me you loved<, bringing it into full dancefloor effect. lexdinamo does what noone did before, jumbling even further one of bobby mcferrins most genius vocal medleys, >drive<. avid bootleg followers may have previously heard this version, but we just cant get enough of it! coming up! more works by aux-rec regulars franco cinelli, leonel castillo and soul clap! stay booted!

dent may recorded >fun< and >wedding day< at hits inc., his home studio at the infamous cats purring dude ranch in oxford, mississippi. expanding upon the smooth pop sound he introduced on last years >that feeling / eastover wives< single on forest family, dent ditches his ukulele in favor of cosmic synths, funky guitars, analog drum machines, loopy bass lines, and massive vocal harmonies. this is his second release on paw tracks, who put out his debut lp the good feeling music of dent may and his magnificent ukulele in 2009.
the 7 inch will be pressed on clear vinyl in a limited edition of 700 records.

rockabilly was the name given by american trade papers between 1956 and 1959 to describe a new kind of music.

somewhere between center parcs in nottingham and the white sandy perfection of formentera reside two men dedicated to the art of horizontal dancing. their mums call them ampo and timm (funny names, those notts lads), though we know them by their collective name of coyote. in their minds eye, it is still 1986 and there are leathery looking germans with alarming posing pouches dancing to simply red records on the shimmering terrace at ku club while down the road alfredo is building his legendary reputation at amnesia. apart from the clued-up few, most of the brits are billeted in san antonio where the beers are cheap and the sunburn is plentiful. coyotes music, despite being produced in the east midlands conjures up a world of sun, sea and 80s glamour, while still sounding very much like today.

the fruhstucks sophomore release with racecar is a 180 degree turn from hats & cats. this is a far more refined yet purposely less polished release, still rife with emotion yet embodying a certain grace and maturation. much of this could be due to instrumentation. the fruhstucks have added strings to their vision with the addition of guitars by miguel boxerinlove and subsequently sutja gutierrez also plucking strings himself.

handnumbered, limited to 1000 copies vinyl factory edition, pressed on 200-gram vinyl records with the emi 1400 machine, uk release. double 12 inch plus bonus 7 inch in gatefold cover, including 12 inch artprint.

banging siren techno 3 tracker, familiar prime time rekluse release

2005 release by neil landstrumm and tobias schmidt.

green could not have found a finer match. the melodic genius of ripperton is wonderfully sculpted by the uk producer, who delivers not one, but two remixes. part 1 sees radio slave taking leonor s lanugo on a deep, hypnotic workout. its warm, all encompassing bassline works brilliantly with its tribal drum line to deliver a deadly take on the original. on part 2 radio slave takes a housier direction. rock solid beats are interwoven with the original s beautiful string melody as bird calls and wild cats prowling add to the incredible suspense to create an inspiring remix.

eine metropole, zwei tonkonstellationsquellen. derart erkl?rt sich, in verknapptester k?rze, das konzept der neuen reihe bei monika enterprise. den anfang macht eine ver®ffentlichung aus der heimatstadt des labels: berlin. zwei aufregend abenteuerliche projekte teilen sich einen tontr?ger, dies wird auch in zukunft so sein. und bereits die erste folge der serie verspricht gro?artige entdeckungsreleases.

classic sounding track by two long going and respected techno heads.. fabrice lig and titonton. these guys take it back to the early nineties when techno was still fresh and new... the days that titonton and dan curtin were debuting with their sophisticated techno sound. raw funky 909 percussion, bleepy analogue synths and great warm string sounds and beautiful melodies. purist techno tracks that never go out of style and reminds the old blokes why we loved techno in that period so much. and it shows the young cats that there is more then the standard dj tool techno! beanfield is on remix duty here... and he delivers an updated modern dancefloor friendly house version with a great string section that reminds a bit of knights of the jaguar and a killer bassline after the break. check!

twentieth release in fat cats famed split series compilations, this record combines norways alog with sunroof! member astral social club.
active since 1997 and one of norways leading exponents of experimentalelectronic music, alog is the duo of espen sommer eide and dag-are haugan, mainstays at the rune grammofon label.
alogs unique, hybrid sound has since developed through four albums that have unfurled a series of abstract yet accessible, self-contained sound worlds, each animated with their own internal logic, mixing a wide variety of bothelectronic and acoustic sources into something warm, intricate and organic.
alog embrace the freedom to flit and root in the cracks between strands of minimalism, electronica, post-rock, improv and vernacular music, merging woozy, stuttering electronica (a la oval or nobukazu takemura), with rich, shoegazey guitars, freeform improvisation, scandinavian folk, field recording and the masterful editing and soundscaping of electroacoustic composition.
astral social club is the project of prolific scottish-born neil campbell, apivotal figure on the uk post-punk underground, with a vast catalogue and numerous collaborations.
a member of both matthew bowers total and sunroof! projects, he appeared on three of the latters albums before helping to form the hugely influential and prolific (over 40 releases) leeds-based drone/psych-rock outfit vibracathedral orchestra in 1998.
campbell left vco in 2006 to go solo as astral social club, under which moniker he has released a number of albums (on labels like vhf, important, qbico, textile) and an ever-increasing stream of self-released cdrs in alimited edition series of volumes (currently up to #19).
the three tracks here were recorded by campbell, john clyde-evans, paul walsh and spider stacy.

we had some unfinished business, so after long deliberation her is the return of creme jak! jtc (aka james t cotton) opens this ep with a devastating 70s disco/funk/jak hybrid, hypnotizing crowds with a repetitive funk guitar and throwing them into a jakking frenzy with a steamrolling basskick counterpoint. simply jak-tastic! followed by a silky chicago dub jakker for the comedown and were ready for 2am/fm. or are we? these two cats rave up the place with some of their patented deep rolling chicago-house influenced trax, but spice it up with a thick-slick muddy bassline before erupting like old yeller. top

welcome to rebel intelligence - the new label is ready to make you pop like it was 1984 all over again! their first single is by the uks matt whitehead, one half of signal type (along with phil bolland on the cultivated electronics label) and captures the style of early electro funk in all it s analogue glory. so good! the a sides >beat the heat< is the more pacey of the two tracks here, constantly building with vintage synth stabs and the true feeling of electro, reminding us of harold faltermeyer and all those cats so heavy influenced by kraftwerk. on the flip, >tuff city< combines classic b-boy sounds and punchy drum programming to create an authentic listening experience that will make you want to get your lino out and bust some moves. highly recommended.

yeah, our favourite b boy house band soultourist is back with old strength! the fo eva ep is a timeless beauty with different shades. the title track is a booty bouncing dubhouse tune, which is reducing to the max to let the bassline and the beatz shine. wild catz is definitely bringing back memories to their 2007 hit turn loose and with televised they are expressing their peaktime moments. gruber & nuernberg from germany delivered a serious remix of fo eva and you can be sure that this one will be big for fans of the new german house movement. all in all its just a great work and they can certainly be proud of their originality...

the original tracks from tim paris and partial arts had recieved incredible support from the likes of all big cats around the world (from l.garnier to chris duckenfield to jef k.). this new set of remixes should definitely go the same path. a side sees tim turning an after hour belter slow building and hypnotic track, while b side sees partial arts keepin it tweaked and funky with breaks
