the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!

celebrating a landmark tenth release, biscuit factory records brings two absolute stompers. the a side is creature, a laxx and farkas collaboration. on the flip laxx and soap dodgers team up with hi rolla. creature is a 4x4 combo with a smooth hypnotic vocal that drops into a heavy bassed, techy roller. the biscuit factory is set to full speed on this one with industrial synths and weighty stabs crashing over the raw upfront bassline. hi roller is a dance floor club smasher. dark robotic basslines and pure weight make this a perfect flip to creature. the low sub bassline and hard punchy drums combine with light melodies in the breakdown to make a track that turns speakers inside out and shreds clubs to pieces. creature and hi rolla have been a staple in walshs sets over the last few months, destroying raves across europe. huge support also coming from n type on his weekly rinse fm wheel and deal records show, hatcha (kiss fm, sin city recs) and skream and benga (bbc radio 1).

for this second release the new parisian label street knowledge choose to produce two young native italians djs. peter jd and francys met in a small city in the south of italy, both evolving on the music scene since they are 14. peter is bringing the detroit house music touch whereas francys the 80s 90s music sound. from this collaboration is born the connection ep. where two different worlds find each other in a common space, connection ep brings different ideas of sound at the same time, by one side following a dry techno line with pumping drums and solid grooves, by the other side warmer and deeper, crossing hypnotic detroit flavored synths, chicago house, organic elements and chromatic female vocals. to make this release totally international jenifa mayanja from connecticut and the greek quell are delivering two remixes that should make a bomb effect on all the dance floors.

welcome reisssue for monster soul-funk lp >disconnection<, one of the most obscure and sought-after releases from top 70s disco label, prelude. ridiculously expensive and hard-to-find in the original, this album is stuffed full with killer tracks spanning warm, soulful disco, high-stepping groove and boogie-heavy funk all written and produced by robert holmes. standouts include the jazzy free-style >dead on the case<, later reworked for the mysterious french skyline project, cool jazz-funk groover >bay city<, recently edited by none other than balearic maestro lexx, and the floor-friendly chunky funk workout >cash money<. however no track is a filler on this superb album which fully deserves its holy grail status with collectors. essential!

hypeltd are happy to introduce another new talent in the form of j. alvarez. it is a name you wont know yet, but the man behind it – seattle based producer chris 214 – has already made a name for himself with some rude electro, techno and even ghetto tech releases on in-the-know labels like frustrated funk (a subsidiary of clone) harbour city sorrow (and again) and others. now, though, he is on a house tip, and it is for that reason that he has assumed this new moniker…
continuing in the tradition of offering up sounds a little less accessible than its older hypercolour brother, hypeltd seems to have once again unearthed a producer more than worthy of popular attention.

as the range, james hinton has released previously on astro nautico, alongside other such rhythmic alchemists as obey city (now signed to lucky me), time wharp and howse (now signed to tri angle) as well as appearing on remix duties for kuhn on the london based civil music label. outside of this moniker he released >cower<, a full length under the alias stegosaurus, on his own sqwal recordings imprint.
operating out of providence ri, james hinton fuses snapshots of global electronic music into a heady brew of deep sub bass, rattling footwork drums, juiced up junglism and dirty south rap beats. here we present the five track >disk< release, bristling with frenetic energy, complex percussion and cerebral melodies – >disk< is as suitable for the home as it is for the club and marks the latest evolution of the range sound.

straight up raw and heavy techno tracks from jena city. detroit minimal techno early days vibes on this hand stamped white label bizz. no further artist info, but these tracks deliver a proper work out for the dancefloor!

calling on a roster of talent that includes the much vaunted luminaries tyree cooper, rick wade and his namesake wilhite, scott grooves, terrence parker and more you know that the vibes & pepper agency expanding operations to include a label means the standard of music will be high. number three in the fledgling wax initiative arrives with the man, the myth, the maverick that is norm talley at the helm for the three track bumper the westside project. talley fans will be all over this one for the chance to grab b side hugger >grove street shuffle< a track that originally featured on the producers uber rare 1997 release for city boy, and the two tracks that complement it find the beatdown brother in fine form. lead track >do what you like< deftly weaves in some expert voodoo ray sampleage amidst a permanently punchy groove whilst >greenfield groove< has talley in looser rhythmic mood, with busy percussion driving through a thick swamp of vocal pressure and ever twisting piano riffs

for fans of andrés, motor city drum ensemble, wolf music

spring 2012, in his dark analog moustache records homestudio downtown rotterdam city david vunk made his bowie ep. this energizing ep contains 3 various styled tracks for the dancefloor. on the this side the track forever always a stunning filter house tune with a vocal that goes on and on, a fat party break and rolling low kickdrums topped with some crazy hihat programming. deep deep deep! 45 rpm rolling. on the that side two tracks. a notorious full power hi energy nu-disco/electro track filled with evil strings, catchy melody, tr-808 drums and arp odyssey baseline madness called disco sysex. the b2 track called vroezenpark sounds like it comes straight from hell, a dusty techno track with berlin infleunces, tr-909 drums and a roland jupiter 8 synth. insane and paranoia style. this very limited pressing comes with luxury gatefold fullcolour sleeve, poster and hand numbered, limited copies.

nicht ohne ein kleines augenzwinkern und etwas schwarzem humor suchen die beiden the glitz mit ganz viel soul ?in their pants? nach ihren freunden und den lieben ladies...oh my god! simon baker lässt es dort gewohnt britisch locker angehen und schüttelt mit seinem groove alles noch einmal durch den club-kakao! der zweite song von the glitz widmet sich mit einem wunderbar deep treibenden sommer-vibe der ?windy city?. lachen und träumen!

g vinyl puts out its debut release by its operator steve albert (gyle). hailing from g block in the hardware city, this hot slab of wax is a melting plate of deep sub rubs and inviting percussion sequences. the additional dialogue ep serves up 4 thick tracks of chunky tech-house grooves for listeners, dancers, and disk jockey sluts.

a classically trained pianist from the age of six, jarrah mccleary grew up in the sticky heat of the northern territory, australia. his previous project, the dirty secrets saw the band working between australia and london with iconic producer and engineer, nick terry (klaxons, libertines). after working on ideas for a new record for over two years, in early 2011, mccleary declared a new album and boarded the airplane, bound for los angeles. between splashes of yacht rock, trop-pop and nods to peter gabriel (thanks to the iconic 80s yamaha dx7 synth), a short summer experience in the city where dreams are made lead to tracks tinged with hints of hopeful house music strewn with the sleaziness of venice beach and too much free poured tequila. and so, panama was born. magic is a modern summer anthem. and what better way to celebrate the party season than some bonus remix action by the worlds most avid dance enthusiasts? the sydney-based quartet join forces with dfa heavyweights and panama fans, midnight magic and gavin russom (the crystal ark) on remixing duties for their debut release.

the excellent lumberjacks in hell imprint has served up some fine edits in its short lifespan to date, most notably from chicagos mutant beat dancer traxx and the labels latest release turns to two other windy city residents renowned for their collections and skills. rahaan needs little introduction for the disco loving community with essential drops on stillove4music, disco deviance and more, whilst mr sounds runs the excellent bring the heat website. this twelve is all about the a side >rainin bleeding boy< which puts a well loved uk ebm couple through the dub laden beatdown grinder - though djs will get plenty of mileage out of both tracks on the b side with >flip side< some supremely chopped up disco funk and >war i declare< a stomping and heavily filtered bomb.
comes on blue, marbled vinyl.

detroits monty luke delivers full flavor musics seventeenth release, the bomb on bomb ep. other than being carl craigs right-hand man at planet e communications, monty luke has been building quite the reputation lately with solid releases on labels like planet e, mothership, and his own black catalogue imprint. the bomb on bomb ep consists of three originals that cross the boundaries from acid house to funky techno to four-on-the-floor downtempo. >in love with a dancer< is the eps total driver, with meaty synth stabs, teasing builds, and cleverly processed vocal treatments that scatter though the mix. >bomb on bomb< is a sly combination of classic-sounding acid house keys, pulsating rhythms, and a soulful vocal going on about a sexy lady. >13th city stranger< is a sleek, downtempo house track and one of the first things monty recorded after moving to detroit from san francisco. solid stuff all around from monty luke and full flavor music.
