nice price deal !!! the brstl label reaches its tenth release with a return to where it started with a 12 inch from october & borai. the label was set up by rhythmic theory, chris farrell and shanti celeste in 2011 from the idle hands record shop as a means to showcase the finest house and techno being produced in their city, bristol. octobers * head 4 phuture* is a nod to the acid pioneers without resorting to revivalism. instead a heady groove is teased out over several minutes, perfect dj gear. october & borai * too high the future* is a heady stoned house groove, from bristols highest producers – with some weighty sub to propel things along.

repress!

theyre young and tough, and especially wonderful too, easily one of the most compelling harmony soul groups to ever hail from the windy city! the sets a chicago soul gem from the early 70s, recorded with a laidback, slightly tripped-out vibe thats different than the tighter styles of other groups from the same scene, definitely righteous at points, with some of the superbad modes you might hear from an east coast lineup like the delfonics or soul generation, especially when they were trying to get a bit more conscious in their message. arrangements are great – handled by tom tom washington, eugene record, and cliff davis, very much at the best brunswick mode, but again with a deeper sort of vibe too. the title cuts a monster, and a very fitting follow-up to their earlier sly, slick, & wicked track – and the album features 2 versions (vocal and instrumental) of a cut called this is the lost generation, a very righteous soul groove with a heavy production tip.

once again this is a limited vinyl only release of 200 copies. following the success of earlier releases which found their way into the bags boxes and hearts of diverse movers and shakers laurent garnier, serge clone, steve bicknell, gerd, osunlade, marcel dettmann, mike huckaby, trevino and motor city drum ensemble amongst many others

aboutface is firstly a composer/live performer and secondly a dj, hailing from east london he steps up for the next release on amirali’s newly founded imprint dark matters. drawing upon both the sociological and environmental landscape as creative inspiration, aboutface uses his background in fine art and painting to help inform his productions. all the last three years music has been inspired by a thousand mile plus journey through eastern europe and around the coastal regions of the uk, each song using the environmental recordings of a different region or city as the creative starting point.

(180 gr) private agenda return with a sumptuous summer release that can play out just as well on new yorks sticky disco dancefloors as it would blaring out amongst the beach bars and palms on the white island.

the summer heat is still on our minds and we all do miss the sunny days, the beaches and the endless open air parties… thanks sascha dive for the right soundtrack and this summer flashback: dives new release for cocoon beams us back to the high days of the summer of 2015: especially into the woods seems to be the perfect sound for all these deeply missed summervibes. into the woods is a pristine tech-house production that comes with a cool straight forward beat programming, very nice reverse strings-sounds and hypnotic house chords. a nicely flavoured chicago club housefeeling and exactly how we like it! werewolf appears slightly more spaced out, however we are still deep in the house universe here. dive is pushing it a bit harder now - he uses crazy chord sounds and turns the track into an 11 minutetech house journey. after the summer flashback with into the woods this one beams us definitely more into the darker and hotter inner city clubs. a massive tech-house-striker by the diver and we are proud to say it is one of his strongest works so far!

the sound of brenta on crime city disco. four effective tracks from our favorite italians. punx non muoiono mai!

nice price deal !!! what happens far away from pointless party spots, boring student clubs, werder bremen and the smelly station forecourt full of piss, in this beautiful, grey city next to the river? more than before, we checked the musical output of the town, listened to recordings from friends and dug the archive. back to the origin of our intention – having a platform for all the artists who surround us in our dynamic environment and structures. for the five year anniversary of zckr records: a journey through warehouses, rehearsal rooms, workshops and studios of people who create the art we appreciate and who let us look to the future with a great sense of enthusiasm.

you re next: growling reece and jumping drums. ulterior motive show no sign of let up after the debut album the fourth wall. menacing and dancefloor tested *you re next* was made specially for the floor.
music city: super funk. blaxploitation. ulterior motive resurrect a style not heard for a while with this one. sounding live and full of energy music city is the slick older cousin of 2014 album cut sideways and will no doubt be just as popular.

ltd 50% deal , rote liebe releases tim keilings new album under his erdbeerschnitzel moniker. in contrast to his recent dancefloor-oriented eps on delsin records, the attendants is hovering over more subtle grounds, featuring a mixture of contemporary electronic composition and hazy experimental pieces just outside the dancefloor proper. rote liebe is a cologne-based collective, founded in 2006 with a focus on events in various off-locations and clubs around the city. 2013 marked the launch of the rote liebe label with the aim to build a catalogue which features a broad musical spectrum, featuring house, techno, broken beat and experimental electronics just as the regular rote liebe nights.

mit seinem 2014 veröffentlichten album *outta here* hat das wiener duo tosca bewiesen, dass man auch nach einer zwei jahrzehnte andauernden karriere zu positionswechseln in der lage ist. das magazin clash sprach gar von der beeindruckendsten und grundlegendsten musik ihrer karriere. richard dorfmeister und rupert hubert hatten sich nach sieben alben, auf denen sie die welt des downtempo und der chill-out-musik zu definieren halfen, entschlossen, den dancefloor für sich zu entdecken. wobei sie nicht umhin kommen, einige traditionen zu bewahren: auf *shopsca*, einer überarbeiteten version von *outta here*, betrachten sie jeden albumtrack aus einer radikal neuen perspektive, von hartem drei-uhr-morgens-techno und electronica bis zu spacigem dub und darüber hinaus. für fans von laidback, rainer trüby, kraak + smaak, kalabrese, lord echo, stee downes, silvercity, ltj experience, rodney hunter, smith + mudd, blundetto, nightmares on wax, the avener. das doppelvinyl erscheint mit cd.

big with dixon, the drifter, alex niggemann, fur coat, thugfucker, frankey and sandrino. -sketches of pain- is a meet-up of two cultures which have been at war with each other for thousands of years. music unites where the world of men divides! here the magical voice of egyptian singer ahmad elsawy can weave its spell. intelligent electronica, ethnic and acoustic instruments, all join together once more to blend two worlds into one universal language. 3 remixes. luca bacchetti continues his series of endless remixes preferring a mostly dub feel with a version that retains some of the original elements, creating that tension culminating in what is the “suspended” sonic idyll that lately has characterized his breakdowns, by now a trademark of his. jon charnis, who we already know for his work on innervisions and all day i dream, has taken it in another direction to put together a true masterpiece, the tone here becoming more -trippy- with a pure afterhours atmosphere. the ever present and increasingly detailed groove add to that magic touch that has made charnis one of the most interesting techno artists on the american scene. last but not least one of our favourite techno artists, eduardo de la calle, surprises us with an interpretation that distances itself completely from the original, moving it into that enigmatic, mysterious and unregulated territory that is definitely his very own unmistakable way of living and feeling techno music. an ep that we expect will come-out from indoor clubs to find its best expression in exotic locations, deserts, beaches, dimensions that are part of that imaginary world that we call: endless.

washerman who is steadily proving his outstanding craft since many years, delivers yet another uncompromising oldskool house cut to shake the floors worldwide. slightly ravey with a bouncing acid bassline riding on a driving beat: a sure play. crowdpleasers remix refers to an end of 80s / beginning of 90s house music style by using retro drummachine sounds and a prominently mixed hypnotic synth melody, which both somehow remind us of old david cronenberg movies. crowdpleaser is an experienced cat and a long time contributor to genevas cultural dance music diversity. he has co-produced the critically acclaimed album *2006* with st plomb and has released many on-the-point tracks ever since. emerging from st plombs debut album country city country, these two remixes almost desperately have been waiting to see the light (on a 10 inch vinyl release!). we think: these two remixes make another swiss crop-of-the-house release!

repress 2015 - following an impressive string of productions on labels like leftroom, murmur, and vitalik, london based, new zealand bred hugo barritt is set to present arguably his most accomplished work to date in the form of the penumbra ep this october. the release will be the second for young uk label construct, which has already worked with the likes of swayzak and the mole, and garnered the support of craig richards, heidi, tensnake, and midland. taking a step back from things over the last 12 months hugo was able to focus genuinely on what he loves: making dance music. and his patience and unadulterated passion shows. >penumbra< is impressive and understated. with a solid a side comprised of barritts driving yet subtle house cuts, and classic remixes from tuff city kids (aka lauer & running back label boss and panorama bars secret weapon, gerd janson) on the flip, the penumbra ep will looks set to be a mainstay of dj sets for many months to come.

joey longo has had a long & varied music career since the 1980s, from regular global dj spots to producing hip hop records for krs one to spearheading the deep nyc house sound that he is most well known for. the raw shit is a classic pal joey ep, featuring a handful of his trademark hip hop & jazz infused tracks, all sample laden & with dope chopped up drums & ultra deep synth pads that occupy that sweet late night spot somewhere between the burrell brothers & maw. released in 1995 & still sought after by music lovers today the ep is the perfect marriage of house music with b-boy sensibilities, raw indeed! remastered, repressed & re-released for 2015 in conjunction with king street records, new york city.

the second part in the hudd traxx 10th anniversary *now & then* compilation sees tracks from luna city express, sek, iz & diz and rick wade. berlin duo luna city express serve up a lush deep house groove that builds throughout the track, and will bring a smile to the faces of those who follow them on their beloved moon habour recordings. sek uses slick beats, trippy leads, a driving bassline and some *thug life* vocals to ensure this one has future classic written all over it. go back in time (to 2006 to be precise) on the then side to find iz & dizs *happy*. the words epic & journey are often misused in music but both can be mentioned about this track. it had devastating effect on first release and is set to do the same again nearly 10 years later. rick wade closes things out in fine style to fly the detroit flag on an all chicago / detroit side.

marking its 11th release, leicester-based label city fly welcome philpot regular tim toh to its already impressive roster spanning dj nature, fred p, andres, medlar and basic soul unit. the berlin artist is also renowned for his works on the likes of ornaments music, delusions of grandeur and mild pitch, and his idiosyncratic vision of electronic music is one shared with the discerning minds behind city fly. ‘endlessly’ is a track that melds interlinking rhythms with vocal snippets before easing in to a beautiful rhodes sequence containing all the hallmarks of an absolute floor filler. ‘everything’ then features the beautiful vocals of ranavalona to engineer a track dripping with pure soul, making way for a remix from thatmanmonkz that focuses on rhythm whilst boiling the piece down to a slice of timeless house. finally ‘expectations’ is a number exhibiting toh’s avant-garde approach to music production whilst still focusing squarely on the dancefloor.
