having previously impressed with vivid blends of cosmic r&b, skewed space-pop, glistening post-ambient soundscapes and mangled, synth-laden grime, rising star throwing shade (aka producer nabihan iqbal) demonstrates her dancefloor side with a killer 12- on happy skull. -chancer- and -blanx- both retain iqbal s uniquely intergalactic aesthetic,whilst flitting between jacking, chicago-influenced house rhythms and jazzy, off-kilter dancefloor grooves. synths sparkle, while vocal snippets drift in and out of the mix. the 12- is completed by a riotous, predictably heavyweight remix from kowton, whose guttural techno grooves are peppered with cut-up samples of iqbal s distinctive, dreamy vocals.

drawing from its palette of chicago house, acid, detroit house and techno, this recently in 2014 established berlin based record label dizzy tunes dedicates itself to pure analogue work on vinyl only. dj krime, who has forced people to the dancefloor for 25 years now, gives his debut on his label. being the first release, dizzy001 follows the straight internal line offering four distinctive chicago house tracks of whom one is a remix, this time by none other than chicago legend tyree cooper.

the trackworx series continues with arttu and welcomes hakim murphy from chicago. something beautiful doesnt beg for attention. thanks for purchasing a real copy!

well, well, well! our teutonic chums come through once again with the secret selections you vinyl-junkies love to love! house master boyz get ripped up, but this aint chicago and it aint 1986! that classic acid house refrain gets welded onto some distinctly brand new / retro sonics, an acid laced behemoth that is equal parts new beat and strobe-lit proto house. timeless & powerful floor food, and as such, equally at home in some erol alkan piloted stadium as it is in a stinky basement. a quick flip and the jj jam swaps the faithful homage we found next door for a futuristic steppers workout. roughly hewn stabs underpinned by some rib cage rattling low end registers
300 copies - vinyl only file under: weapons!

if youve been even the most casual participant in or observer of the nyc dance music and club scene over the past decade, youve most definitely encountered luca venezia, a.k.a. curses, who once was better known as drop the lime, a central figure in the trouble & bass crew. where dtl was all stripped and chewed dubstep and grime, curses is clearly of a house bent, albeit one thats been cut with plenty of heavy bass, breakbeat-leaning drums, and a frantic energy that one wouldnt find on classic chicago 12inches.

remarkable dancefloor oriented ep by a resident dj of suicide circus. a perfect bond between the techno of berlin and the groovy touch of chicago.

back in the day, there was one artist that stood out in the underground, this person was admired and respected worldwide, his cuts we re played from paris, london, nyc to chicago & back again, he was - olivier portal aka playin 4 the city. this year, 2014 - playin 4 the city is back, 3 brand new tracks released on the deeply respected us label - plastik people. side a delivers two soulful edged tracks with a reprise at the start of a1 which keeps the roots of p4tc from back in the day - both tracks include live bass by slikk tim. side b *good groove* is a black & white track, it has the feel of the early bouge & shuffle track that came out on olivier s straight up label, deep & groovy elements, 16 bit samples & keeping it four to the floor. good groove is sure to be a classic, one for the true heads & the p4tc collective.

chicago, july 12, 1979 was the day rock sucked. real bad. it was also the day that disco went underground for real. here is the first offering of rock sucks! a label where forgotten disco and boogie will finally get its revenge. these two gems were made in 1983 and theyve been ignored for far too long

repress 2014 - next up in the 10 inch series on mos_deep another heavy 2-tracker of d marc cantu, which will be followed by a (mini)-album later this year. the opening track is a fierce chicago-styled banger kicking off with an extremely solid and frantic bassline while d marcs low-pitched voice asks us >how are we doing?<. the track slowly evolves into a deep and atmospheric masterpiece with spatial strings slowly expanding throughout the track.
>how are we doing?< is counter-balanced by the fragility and subtlety on the flipside. >a second earth< is a laid-back and emotional retro-futuristic techno track overflowing with sadness and melancholy, echoing the sounds of the artificial-intelligence era. like a lost vessel drifting through space this track captivates and terrifies at the same time. a beauty and a beast!

gene hunt is a prolific producer with an un-mistakable sound of his own. and although an originator of the acid house sound from chicago, he certainly didnt stop there. his music has naturally evolved over the years, often incorporating more mature melody and rhythm structures, but always in time with a proper underground style dance track. these tracks are a perfect fit for the direction and vision of the inner shift music label as well, and for this reason we are pleased to present you with planted seeds by gene hunt.

dnaut is a brand new label launching with an ep from the mysterious collective mdec - music dance every chance. the first track *the treasure* is a spangled fusion of synths that variously rasp to shine, while the percussions lend a rough feel. the rubbery drums and bass line of *riz jungle* harks back to old school chicago. *hero* is a predatory, creeping and crawling house grove with a whispered voice to add yet more intrigue. *desire* featuring hayley blackman is a little more playful- rooted drums underpin elastic, swaggering percussive lines and a little disco dazzle is hiding in the subtle synth patterns. *glisten feathers* feat billy love closes the ep heartfelt style with a breathy male vocal. shimmering synths, lingering pads and tinkling pianos add color to the killer vocal.

unreleased tracks by the chicago master ...
ron maney also known as dj skull lived in the southside of chicago (il, usa). his musical career started during the summer of 1986, while recovering from a broken bone. during the following years he homed his craft, djing first at basement parties, building his reputation to go on to larger events such as, loft and hotel parties, and eventually the infamous music box and power plant clubs. at the age of fifteen ron shopped his first demo at trax records. there he first met chicago s legendary dj ron hardy, working as a&r for trax records. two years, and a new alias later (dj skull) later while at the power plant, chicago s own steve poindexter heard a dj playing one of rons tracks, and met ron. steve was now a&r at saber records and invited ron to release some tracks. so in october of 1991 dj skull s first record -n.r.g. music- was released. in 1993, he released the ep -the stomping grounds- on djax-up-beats, which was more noted than the first one. over the years that followed dj skull released lots of ep s on several labels. he has become well-respected producer and dj in the techno industry

the last few years have seen chicago footwork rise to international success, and traxmans debut album - *the mind of traxman* on planet mu - played no small part in that. it showcased cornelius fergusons brilliant ability to synthesise the beat digging of classic hip hop with the high-speed abstraction of footworks house-derived beat science. the selection of tracks on this second chapter show a slightly different take on traxman s abilities. instead of bringing in concepts from other genres, he simply creates a wider variety of footwork, made with a minimal, reduced palette. often just one or two samples are selected and diced into brain-blurring cubist puzzles that bear little relation to their original sources, or anything else for that matter.
