during these days where lo-fi analogue house productions seems to be the it thing, its time to dig out a release by one of the true pioneers of house music. not an outsider but one of the names thats been around forever and thats known for several timeless house classics.

londoners kiwi and ashworth return to sneaky for a follow-up to dawn ep, the warm, dusty and at times experimental release, championed by the likes of daniel avery, eric duncan and tiefschwarz. the past few months have been busy for both halves of the duo, with kiwi signing to duke dumont s blase boys club and remixing for house music super-labels bpitch control and get physical, whilst ashworth has signed music to tomoki tamura s holic trax and needwant. second ep takes a new format, with two original tracks alaska and na am on the a-side, backed up by a nicholas & marcoradi remix of cux3 and ranacat s remix of zubr. alaska could be described as an amalgamation of the inspirations that lead to the first sneaky release, combining the pumping house beats of cux3, the comforting wurlitzer of zubr and the ethereal movie-soundtrack dusk. na am is something totally different, existing mainly as a collage of recorded and found sounds, avoiding the usual structure of house music in favour of something reminiscent of the weirder side of the chemical brothers. strange though the track may be, the climax would undoubtedly move a room full of pilled up ravers to a state of frenzy. the b-side remixes both hint to dance floors of the 90s, with nicholas and marcoradi making you wait and wait before dropping an unforgettable piano hook, whilst sneaky s ranacat lifts zubr out of context and into peak time territory.

merck 274350 with its propulsive mechanical basslines, industrial-strength percussion, and a germanic vocodered mantra, this teutonic panzer tank of a track takes absolutely no prisoners - an electronic matter of fact statement inspired by the passing of time, fate, circumstance, and synchronicity. holland s misanthropic high priest of psychedelic, doomy, dark house & techno, drvg cvltvre, delivers a trippy interpretation, turning the track into a lysergic love letter to this iconic chemical catalyst, maintaining the dynamic bassline of the original but adding a nagging 303 line to deliver an explosive 3am dancefloor device. one step closer to heaven begins with a metronomic, rhythmic new beat stomp and a nagging insidious synth refrain that recalls the more electronic side of new order. muscular synth riffs then drop in and out of the mix, taking the track into dark ebm territory and ramping up the pressure before the influences of giorgio moroder and cerrone come to the fore, propelling the track into a rapture of hypnotic celestial electronic disco.

this various artist vinyl compilation features tracks from dj spider, dakini9, hakim murphy and phil moffa. this combines all of the elements that plan b is famous for: deep, dark, dance floor alchemy. originally released on cd, these tracks are now available on vinyl.

tipp: drive to paradise (f b rmx)... for their very first ep, cyanide introduces us the great turkish talent sinan kaya (apparel, tonkind, society 3.0). two deliciously toxic original tracks, backward and in my house , seasoned with 2 tight remixes by the chemical hands of pascal augner (aka beatamines) and francesco bonora (plastic city, abstract theory). listen and enjoy the poison...-

amsterdam local, ivory coast progeny and grime-juke-jungle gene-splicer, h-sik makes his black acre debut in rude style with two concrete-junglist chemical weapons. first up is the muscular drum workout *sonic rage* which layers a ridiculously powerful, yet deftly chopped 808-amen bombardment with delicate citric pads, bleeps and lost droideka language. on the flip is the orwellian *no promises* a natural pairing of vangelis atmospherics and committed drum-funk workout, building with undead voices and b-boy breakdowns.

water jump ep is the second ep from arguably one of 2012s most exciting new djs and producers. featuring 4 brand new tracks drone logic, water jump, receptionist and a quiet life all illustrating daniels variety as a producer and knowledge of underground club music, referencing the great music of labels such as kompakt and ghostly as well as many sounds originating away from the dancefloor, this is yet another big step forward for avery. drone logic has already had regular plays from the chemical brothers and a certain mr. weatherall who received upfront copies

nach der heiss erwarteten veröffentlichung >ep1 / spock< veröffentlicht mute nun die zweite single-auskopplung >ep2 / single blip<. eine bedrohlich-pumpende bassline durchzieht diesen von dunklen, filterigen synthies dominierten und mit rhythmischen bleeps gefütterten minimal-industrial techno track. neben der treibenden originalversion finden sich noch zwei hochwertige remixe von byetone und mathew jonson auf der b-seite. olaf bender (byetone), einer der gründer des legendären experimental-elektronik labels raster-noton veröffentlichte 2011 sein hochgelobtes album >symeta< welches unter anderen in den jahresbestenlisten von fact & the quietus auftauchte. der kanadier mathew jonson wiederum machte sich in der szene neben seinem gehypten impro-projekt cobblestone jazz und veröffentlichungen auf seinem eigenen label wagon repair unter anderem mit remixen für plastikman, moby und den chemical brothers einen namen. die ep wurde wie auch das album von stefan betke (pole) gemastered und von timothy q wiles gemixt

die neue telefon tel aviv ep featured den berauschend schönen album-opener the birds in seiner originalversion und in zwei remixen, wie sie gegensätzlicher nicht sein können: bpc-chefin ellen allien pustet die schwermütigen nebelwolken des originals kurzentschlossen mit einem knackigen housebeat und munteren acid-sequenzen fort. ghostly international-mitbegründer matthew dear hat schon auf seinem eigenen album black city und seinen remixen für die chemical brothers, the xx und the drums eine ausgeprägte vorliebe für sinistre klanglandschaften offenbart. seine version von the birds bewegt sich stilistisch zwischen allen stühlen, verbindet sie doch kongenial singer/songwriter-elemente mit einem athmosphärisch dichten electronica-kontext. als co-autor, gitarrist und seelenverwandter tritt kein geringerer als cocteau twins-mitbegründer robin guthrie in erscheinung - nicht nur für düstere wintertage und kalte nächte der perfekte soundtrack.

italian producer simone fedi, hailing from tuscany, takes things to a whole new level on this third release on eskimo recordings. >bitter devotion< is a vocal pop gem with a balearic tinge, but its bittersweet vocals and the addictive melody will haunt you. for this tune fedi, a multi-instrumentalist with a knack for pop music and a soft spot for vintage gear, joined forces with a mysterious singer named lola rent, and this turns out to be a winning team.
bitter devotion comes with a rather spectacular remix package, ewan pearson (known from his remix work for goldfrapp, chemical brothers, hot chip, moby, franz ferdinand and depeche mode to name a few) gave it the royal treatment. as an additional treat, welcome stranger aka thomas bullock (rub n tug, laughing light of plenty, map of africa, whatever we want records) has indulged in a psychedelic >bitter devotion< dub, analogue and live... just the way we like it.

cco aka contra commumem opinionem has released 2 eps on the chicago based label mathematics that were played a lot at plak office. we have been even more amazed to meet him at zukunft club in zürich … the young talented producer is not from the windy city but from our lovely sweetzerland! soo here we go with 2 slices of raw chicago techno/house carefully crafted & extended for plak: the moody atmosphere of >structural constraints< will fly you far far away, on the flip side >structural drift< is a spiritual momentum with a liquid 303 lead and sensual pads for your chemical sunday therapy. this piece of wax is an analog affair, no software!

nice price deal !!! following critically acclaimed releases with mordant music and further records earlier this year, ekoplekz delivers his first album for punch drunk.
dispensing entirely with notions of accessibility and dancefloor friendliness, >intrusive incidentalz vol.1< is a 12 track collection of dark, oppressive atmospheres and violently unstable interludes, developed through studio improvisation and inspired by childhood memories of terrifying electronic soundtrack music from the 1970s, yet combined with a post-dubstep sensibility and a sense of dread informed by the social, economic and political climate of life in 2011. a bleak retro-futurist fantasy, or oblique soundtrack for a broken britain? the truth probably lies somewhere between the two.

clement meyer now joins correspondant, and with a nod to his parisian roots he enters our label with techno to be reckoned with. just listen to the first half of >sweet insanity<, and you will begin to appreciate his dark style as much as we do. abe duque, who we have invited to remix >sweet insanity< has been at the head of the acid-house and underground-techno table since his earliest releases way back in 1993. from muscular and melodic techno to cocktail jazz and ambient interludes, his early tracks on his own labels tension and hollis haus included releases under pseudonyms like kirilan and super secret symphony, plus his releases on others labels like disko b, rapture!, morbid, and tresor captured a particular period of clubbing history. the second part of duque s career was a run of increasingly massive 12 inch hits like champagne days, cocaine nights, acid, disco nights, and in 2004 his monster smash with blake baxter >what happened?<. his signature is now stamped across productions from top acts like chemical brothers, pet shop boys, and miss kitten, and has become a regular on dj hells gigolo label. the highlight of this period, though, was his first album >so underground it hurts<. it was undeniably a techno event, and that is exactly what he comes with today, a mind bending techno remix of >sweet insanity<. we hope you like it!

out hear audio is back with another far out offering for the modern dancefloor. the second release for the label this year following the killer yambee! – chemical love/natural off

this latest lovebirds ep on winding road records is another absolute masterpiece of chilled house soul and deep rave. a really excellent package and a must-have lovebirds release. on the a-side track, >want you in my soul<, lovebirds teams up with vocalist stee downes. stees acclaimed debut album >all in a day< was released on sonar kollektiv in 2008, and who has worked and performed alongside the likes of motor city drum ensemble, amp fiddler, dj spinna, and bugz in the attic. their collaboration for winding road is a driving vocal house bomb that will rock your world. the b-side kicks off with the dirty tech tune >give me a dubf*ck<, an injection of dark rave that has been causing serious explosions on dancefloors for a few months now. perfect chemical material for the harder floors. the b2 track is hot toddys remix of >want you in my soul< - a chrome-plated disco dimension to the track by crazy p man chris todd, which was licensed to tensnakes >in the house< compilation before it even saw the light of day. hot stuff indeed.

when primal scream s exterminator – or xtrmntr – came out in 2000 as the last album on alan mcgee s legendary creation records it made quite a stir. mcgee must have told the scream to let the label go out with a bang , and boy did they deliver.

danish duo laid back made a most surprising comeback to the clubs in 2010 with >cocaine cool<. not that they had ever been really forgotten: their electro pop classic >white horse< remained a sure shot in clubs for the thirty years after its release 30 years back and a constant inspiration to boatload of diverse artists from techno to hip-hop. >cocaine cool< was recorded at the same session but the ironic vocals ridiculing label executives blowing up their frail ego with the chemical substance were deemed to risquee at that time, so the recording collected dust in some box until last year. bostons >soul clap< another duo hailed as one of the hotest things in clubland known for their eclectic funk-rooted taste. they opt for a cool sparser arrangement leaving out the “white horse -like chords. a loose, dry electro funk beat, hpynotic one-note synth, few dub effects and additional vocoder vocals do the trick bravorously. besides an instrumental version theres also a harder jacking dub take sounding like early chicago house edits. and while the boys are add it they also re-edited another huge one from laid back: >baker man< that managed the unlikely balancing act of not only hitting it bigtime in the charts but also in the emerging balearic scene. this 12 inch is cool in every which way!

visionquest unleash the second superb release on this years most exciting new label. footprintz possess the kind of musical magic that seems to be created through some unfathomable chemical reaction, their pop sensibilities perfectly balanced with a mystical sense of kudos. sounding like hot chip in paradise, hercules in a new love affair with a euphoric lcd soundsystem, >utopia< is the first step in a great musical journey for this magnetic partnership. charming guitar led melodies strung out over blissful poetic lyrics and dreamy synths, >utopia< is the embodiment of its definition. a captivating blend of pop magic, hatched in a dream and painted in vivid colour, it creates devotion to its musical heart. its elusive partner in crime, >golden dreams< is cloaked in mystery and soaked with attraction. uttering choral cries and apocalyptic echoes, it evokes the thrilling sensations of falling in love. steering to the dancefloor, house music king ewan pearson breathes melancholic pulses through utopias veins in a heart-rendering remix for the small hours a truly inspiring remix from ewan who mastered the whole ep.

this music works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture. it is used where the batter lacks the elastic structure to hold gas bubbles for more than a few minutes. because carbon dioxide is released at a faster rate through the acid-base reaction than through fermentation, music made by chemical leavening is called >quick compositions. the tracks are made up of an alkaline component, one or more acid salts, and an inert starch (cornstarch in most cases, though potato starch is also used).

svetecs first solo release on the cannibal society! and what a burner! uncompromising hard techno with big beats, solid arrangement and basslines to die for. solid punishment of the mind with some chemical warfare aimed straight at the dancefloor. so take cover and hide, cause the cannibals are coming to hunt you down and theyre freaking hungry!
