were you able to touch them – to render them tangible and actually trace the rhythms in yachts i walked alone – the lines would form steep hills and sudden cliffs that rise and drop off, again and again, at steep, sharp angles. the wiry funk and itchy bass move like a controlled spasm, convulsive and itchy, until the breakdown, when the nervous tension gets released in a series of cowbell clunks and a guitar solo that leaks out like a slow moving electric current. on this vinyl only collection of remixes, parisian duo get a room!, aka rove dogs and jeff masson, massage out the herk and jerk, making for a more relaxed and aurally warm take. the sound of things is far housier here – and more pop, in the very best way – owing to synths where there previously were none and angles newly bent and refashioned into smooth, circling cycles of disco-infused sound. and theres more from jacques renault, who contributes a remix both with and without vocals. the new york city dance music stalwart takes his time building to a plateau of perfectly paced beats and a wall of recurring dream(y) house rhythms. feels like music that fills the room, takes over your senses, and wraps you in its effervescence. - kali holloway

the londinium ep is the latest release on uzuri recordings and welcomes chicago skyway back to the fold. not that hes been away too long, having produced a full 12 release and contributed to the from chicago turin amsterdam & dublin with love ep just last year. we also welcome hakim murphy to the label – with his credentials it was only a matter of time before our paths crossed!as the title suggests, this release was inspired, conceptually at least, by our nations capital, and its apparent that sean has spent quite enough time here to get the gist of the place, with the b-side tracks entitled traffic and noise, respectively. im sure he loves it here, really.musically, he keeps it closer to his windy city heart – very clearly reflecting his roots, in fact. as a dj and club promoter in mid 90s chicago, sean frequently shared the decks with some of the citys biggest talents at that time – cajmere, gene farris and spencer kinsey (gemini) among them, and one could say that theres an audible relief flavour to a-side, london streets, with its stripped-back, hypnotic stomp. its fitting that hakim murphy remixes the track, coming from similar roots within chicagos scene, and his own reworking retains the drawn-out essence of the original but brings a whole new hips-and-shoulders groove to the track.

andreas reihse is well known since 1994 in his role as musician with kreidler. sometimes he releases club music, for example using his alias april or with detlef weinrich (kreidler, tolouse lowtrax) as binford on labels like italic, onitor or smoothrooms. he also composed soundtracks for artist movies and installations (rosemarie trockel, maximilian zentz zlomowitz, thea djordjadze, andreas gursky, frances scholz/mark von schlegell, among others). romantic comedy is music for dark clubs, for places without much light and oxygen – its driving, percussive dance music. a comedy in six acts: from l.a. to düsseldorf and back. music and lyrics? - pop goes my heart! - of course its a romantic comedy, a bittersweet romance full of memories and a bit of sorrow. >der lange weg nach düsseldorf< the title reminds of mittagspauses der lange weg nach derendorf, derendorf, the district of düsseldorf where andreas reihse and stefan betke / pole in the late 80ies shared a rehearsal room. langeweg also was the adress of the studio of klaus dinger in zeeland. the titles of the other pieces refer to dubious characters that show that the trip on the west coast makes stops in manchester, milano, brussels and london without forgetting charlottenburg and williamsburg. places that hold up against oblivion and reinvent themselves. your club needs you. the cover was designed by artist thea djordjadze

after years of seeming decline, its refreshing to see the cultural melting pot that is new york firmly back on the global electronic music scene but with the city’s crime rates dropping and a more liberal attitude to partying abounding once more, an invigorated crew of djs and producers are now cropping up with increasing regularity. one such individual is italian-cum-new yorker antonio piacquadio. the ep is nonetheless sure to draw attention as a result of its remixes: both of which arrive courtesy from big-hitters from the techno/house hybrid.the first of these - from cecille mainstay butch – is typical of the sankeys resident, as he jettisons practically all else in favour of a catchy bassline and a smattering of luscious piano keys. in another coup for the label, radio slave then adds his own touch, performing a typical manoeuvre by taking no prisoners via his remix - a stirring concoction of subtle, ominous bells and sporadic, tight grooves.

trust now is the keystone album of brooklyns prince rama. the album takes the kaleidoscopic mysticism of ancient devotional music and focuses it through the fierce urgency and archetypal language of pop, forming an environment that is both accessible and impenetrable. deep synths rise from a sparkling sea of gamelans and prayer bells as tribal drums pound the earth with the hypnotic power to heal or destroy. voices carry captivating and haunting melodies that shine like the diamond jewels of old bollywood soundtracks spilling over dark wave dance floors.
first conceived as a ritual to be performed live, the songs were fittingly recorded inside a 19th century church in seattle by scott colburn (sun city girls, animal collective, arcade fire). as their 5th full-length album, and first as a duo, trust now is perhaps prince ramas most focused, cohesive and powerful album to date.
comes with code for free digital download of this album.

nang powerhouse sare havlicek bursts back into the synth-scape once more with the first track from his second nang album. sare is a firm favourite here in nang towers and the mercurial, slovenian dynamo has hardly stopped for breath since his last releases on nang (a well deserved new masters comp, a co-mix credit on beach disco and also as part of the transatlantic disco alliance ep). to remix vibe on you nang have called in the talents of fellow adriatic funkster ilija rudman, who places his seal-of-authority on the sonics and gets brassed up. uk based head of bear funk stevie kotey pairs up with this lightning-fingered-keyboard neighbour manestar to create a cool cross between haddaway & ten city. sare contributes an instrumental and a slowed down, pitch-bent, 115 bpm version. his slyly retiled nothing you can do version jumps forward 4 years to 1985, sounding like a long lost stock-aitken and waterman extended 12 dance cut. stay tuned for sare album number 2 later in the year. weve heard it.. its a goodie.

in recent times it has been fashionable for european producers to try and recreate the classic sounds of detroit. the true vibe and feel can surely only come from the city itself? as his name suggests, whilst we know very little about anonym, we do know that he hails from the legendary motor city, and the true essence of his home town can be heard and felt in his music. classic sounds constructed with a modern touch. gritty, raw and crying out for sweaty basements. in 2011 anonym has finally arrived on vakant and is set to release his first record on the label. his > flivvers vol.1 ep< will be followed by vol.2 later this year.

east meets west on culprits seventeenth ep release, as three emerging producers from russia make their debut on the los angeles based label as special case. as culprit enters the next phase in its lifecycle, young producers are submitting music that is inspired by the culprit catalogue. championing fresh acts, as evidenced on the above the city compilation, is becoming a key aspect of the culprit ethos.
heralding from st petersburg and moscow, special case is part of a rising wave of eastern european artists, a region that holds tremendous importance for culprit s ukrainian born andrei osyka. having established reputations as individual djs in their native soil, the trio came together as special case specifically to create a release for culprit, and with the belief that the whole would be greater than the sum of their parts. aurum is dancefloor gold and proves they were right to do so.
