>parallel series 3<, comes from two well respected reference points in the international scene: bas mooy and chris finke. their sound identities compare and compliment, contrast and challenge each other, creating a wordless dialogue.

vanguard sound is back with its newest record. chris mitchells phrenetic ep is vanguard sounds second release. coming on the heels of the wildly popular vanguard sound vol. 3, this ep continues to uphold the aesthetic created with the first release, while simultaneously expanding it. the phrenetic ep features four tracks from the mind and studio of a quickly rising north american talent that all walk the fine line between house and techno. all are very complex rhythmically, with both banging drums, and lush tones. a perfect 3 way marriage of classic chicago, detroit, and new york vibrations, the record contains set peaks, as well as transitional tracks that allow djs to traverse from house to techno and back. already receiving massive amounts of positive feedback, this ep is proving to be a more than worthy follow up to vs001.

following releases on mathematics, boxfade and vuzkid, chris moss acid returns with an extraterrestrial four tracker on holland’s 030303. the a-side features bay of cadiz, an eleven minute cut built around an hypnotic bass line and a simple hitchcockian synth that would do well in a horror movie featuring zombies with smiley faces. on the flip, lynchette matravers is an energetic, crystal clear banger reminding of early 808 state. the big freeze sounds a lot warmer than the title suggests and should please anyone into afx’s later output. the rhythm, the fourth and last track on the ep, continues on that vibe with beautiful synth work. chris moss may look like a nutter, this sure is serious sonic pleasure

souvenir is proud to present its 44th ep from a duo of frankfurts favourite sons, chris wood and carsten meat schuchmann. both chris and carsten have come up through frankfurts music scene, chris with his long time residency at the infamous monza club and carsten having started the citys premier record shop freebase, still going strong 18years later. trained as a studio engineer, chris cut his chops under the wise wings of pascal feos and joinedforces with meat, who held residencies at cocoon and robert johnson. last year they dropped the mighty triple s on souvenir, which destroyed dance floors as far afield as sao paolo to ibiza.

303 madness from the likes of chris liberator & sterling moss on the a-side and squat dom on the flip!
