we are happy to report, after a short hiatus ray mang and his incomparable mangled label are back! his recent disco deviance release was more than enough to remind everyone what they d been missing, but here we have a fresh new mangled release - filled to brim with rays unique take on lost classics.
mangled has been a benchmark for quality edits since the late 90s, and with renewed interest in dance musics heritage, ray has found himself back at the forefront of a scene he was instrumental in forming. having been behind a plethora of releases on cult nu-disco labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic, eskimo etc etc over the years he has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more.

the disco, soul and boogie selection - 8x full length retro classics. vinyl pack 1 of 2 of extended mixes from: >bobby & steve - the anniversary collection 1984 - 2004: past, present, future< cd mixes.

kaiserdisco are more often in the air than on the ground so we are lucky to gets this one from them in time! two brand new tracks out of the kaiser küche. >semiramis< has the bongos bouncing high and vocals racing in… this is a polyrhythmic and true irresistible: kaiser-tune! the kaisers once again take you by the hand and lead you to a land of tropic dance fever and continue their exploration of funky beat constructions that will put fire to every dance floor in town.
with >menon<, kaiserdisco go a different way … they combine disco claps and 60ies organ sound… writing one of these euphoria ballads that somehow keep their understatement while on the other side they keep on growing and growing… to an enormous size… we could swear this sounds like one of these classics you keep in your head all your life..., humming them to yourself... never knowing what they actually are. maybe you know?

more rare stuff and paradise garage classics from the desc of legendary dj and producer larry levan.

gerardo frisina goes back to the roots of the sound which has made him famous worldwide: the latin sound of classics like >descarga< or >the latin kick< (both previously released on schema). >moderno primitivo< is an ep about the encounter of the ancient afro-cuban tradition (the core of frisinas artistic dna) with a refined electronic taste. this component enriches drums and percussions and gives more edge to the whole production with details like pads and effects. in >moderno primitivo< the latin ensemble headed by frisina takes us into a jam session where percussions, piano and trombone play happily. the latin house mix is a club version where the rhythmic element and the groove take control of the mix. the melody is broken and a hammond plays over a ostinato bass. the flavour is definitely tribal. >cogele el ritmo< is a trip into frisinas latin world. slower than >moderno primitivo<, still has a solid hook to the dance-floor and is a triumph of joy and colour.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everything that sounds fine to their ears! for our 26th release, we are back with one of the hottest producer on earth right now: chris mc millan as carlos nilmmns! this brand new ep (after his fabulous work on the ultra respected ornaments records from berlin) is simply one of the best thing we have heard this year. it goes from the purest techno to deep house, creating some cinematic landscapes that really touches our hearts. he really has his own soud, deep as hell. one of the most original musician we have heard from uk from a long time. this is the kind of release that will remind you what house music is all about. useless to say that carlos nilmmns is writing some future & cult club classics. a must-have in every djs collection! black vinyl

a new bootleg series focused on disco classics for modern dancefloors. one-sided, 180gr, limited copies

this selection is about the tracks that would inform henry street, the tracks found deep within the complex strings of its dna, the tracks championed by pettibone on kiss or by washington at the studio, or those dredged from crates across the city. half-heard anthems from italy tracked down through forensic research in the record shops of the five boroughs, rare dub versions of classics that you wont be finding on ebay anytime soon. this is real disco.
>these are the secret weapon tracks, but more personal to me and people from my world. i m pulling records from different places. this is how i play records. its not fake. i have never been a set dj and always played just about every genre of music, from the fastest uptempo disco anthem, to the most ghetto rap jam to zeppelin. music is music. a good dj can play it all. a great dj can play it all technically correct!<

26 years old andrade is without doubt, one of the most exciting talents from the current crop of young french producers. having built a reputation within the paris scene for his skills behind the decks. releases on dessous followed and last year andrade also made an impressive debut on poker flat recordings. making the first release of his own label street knowledge, its time for andrade to take centre stage himself with the >sugar ep<. its bass-heavy groove is met with a busy vocal sample and refined piano chords, evoking a picture of his street knowledge. sugar is the soundtrack to a loft party. classics snares, mysterious synths chords and crowd noises. fantastic. keeping it old school and rolling with the bass lines and keys, andrade wraps up the originals with irreversible and berlin. for this first release, djulz offers two excellent remixes of sugar in order to confirm the power of this release.

limited 1st edition in picture sleeve, 1st ever vinyl outing for these long lost post-industrial classics... this lp release on blackest ever black is a selection of the best black rain instrumentals from those 94-95 sessions: seven richly atmospheric, brooding rhythm tracks that together constitute a lost classic of post-industrial music, and a genuine cyberpunk artefact, remastered and cut to vinyl for the very first time

ndatl continues with new remixes crafted by label head kai alce of sacrifice, by house music legends robert owens and larry heard. owens and heard have not recorded together in more than a decade after countless classics such as bring down the walls, im strong and mysteries of love. after hearing the track when heard stopped by the ndatl studio, kzr was compelled to remix the song, and was quickly given the green light.

limited reissue of this highly sought-after and extremely heavy electro-boogie cut from serena. originally released on tiny nyc label tnt unlimited in 1983, this super-rare gem was produced by the great james terry who was also responsible for other top boogie classics of the era such as >boogieland< by ike strong and true images >keep me dancing<. the instrumental gets all the attention here with super-funky basslines, cool vocoder chorus and ultra-crisp percussion and synths but the vocal is pretty damn strong too. top priority for all boogie fans - dont miss this!

juan atkins returns to r&s on a model 500 solo mission. the last model 500 single enlisted the help of the live line up that includes detroit techno royalty mike banks and ur alumni mark taylor, but this latest release is just juan in the studio and back at his best. >control< is vintage model 500, the classic electro that atkins pretty much invented, with his treated vocals riding over the crisp rhythm programming, dark basslines and detroit synths. >the messenger< on the flip is a moodier affair, with the liquid synths almost running away with themselves over the rough beats. model 500 and r&s has proved to have been a classic combination over the years and this release is one to file next to the classics.
