the debut release for atrophic society, home to label founder vohkinne, is the culmination of years of experimentation with different ideas and aliases. slithering and raking across heavy groundswells, centering around a whisper and a groan, chanting through the thud of drums and ritualistic rhythms, battery introduces us to vohkinnes vision. different from its origin, breeding an atmosphere of deliberate anxiety without fear or compromise, the veteran ben sims crafts a clenched fist,unrelenting in purpose. dark and urgent, both interpretations ring clear through the fog.

the enigmatic oushe has already remixed a stack of tracks in the shabby doll catalogue and from his studio, surrounded by his beloved analogue machines, produced a slew of dancefloor hits for others. now though, he is ready for the limelight and with his solo *starz on 33 ep*, it is clear he has got the slippery world of celebrity on his mind. his debut ep packs in a quartet of raw, percussive, heavyweight house cuts that are guaranteed to make any dancefloor shake. impressive stuff - a taste of the future now.

after a hiatus from the releasing scene, highlive is back with a dark and clubby new three track emission, you ep. the compelling title track, a lightly tribalsitic and clear structured sound conception, calls you to the dance floor. a fantastic call out hook when it clocks midnight.

from the two individually revered artists seuil and le loup, comes the debut lp under their collaborative dj/producing alias hold youth. a collection of dance-orientated tracks, designed to make the body move, de la club explores the origins of hold youth’s fundamental influences to their modern day stance.a lp in two parts, the first vinyl is almost a retrospective of primarily state-side club sounds, but also of the pair’s early musical staples. paying homage to old skool production, the inspiration drawn from the detroit greats like moodymann and andres is clear on the funked-out, jazzy vibes of street my baby or the smooth flowing les enfants du soleil. hold youths love affair with head-bobbing hip hop also makes an appearance on the intro and outro, sampling the one and only j dilla, perfectly combined with their own personal beat-boxing. not forgetting their french 90s roots, kool & the boug oozes that warmth defined so well by pepe bradock and trankilou… a club track which has the power of subtlety to submerge the dancefloor that one level deeper. part two looks to the example of german minimal and micro house and brings us up to date with the sounds fresh from hold youth’s record bag today. be it the weird and murky territory of dodge this, or the eerie, glitchy world of black dog, their modern vision of de la club is darker and sturdier in its stature. but it is the ability to weave seamlessly between the lps two halves, two ideals, which truly characterises the hold youth ethos and their signature djing style.

transition lab recordings is proud to present his second release of the talented member of transition lab family alfredo caforio with an amazing truncate version. in this ep alfredo mixes perfectly the deep atmospheres with straight grooves and decisive percussions that make this record a complete experience and show us the whole interesting musical background of the artist. david flores aka truncate doesnt need presentation. he chooses to retouch the original 1week obviously he never fails, his remix is simply,incisive, a combo of few and clear elements that go straight to kill the dancefloor.)

you can tell label owner max m loves producers that arent afraid to experiment with the most hypnotic and mind bending properties of techno and electronic music in general. with seven release under its belt, its now obvious that grey series was conceived around a very clear idea: organic sounds, complete lack of stylistic restrictions and an overarching love for introspective and crepuscular atmospheres. the eighth 12inch in the series is signed by spanish producer tadeo, who follows a long list of releases on his very own cyclical tracks and another intelligence imprints with four caliginous cuts that belong to the brainiest and state inducing sets

with credits between them ranging from hypercolour, future boogie, fear of flying, southern fried, save you and wolf, dj/producers james welsh and ste roberts team up under their r&w pseudonym for this, the 7th release on initials with its clear mandate from the word go back in 2012 to release only the most underground house and techno, initials (helmed by ste himself, hypercolours alex jones and 1trax label boss dave elkabas) delivers the goods yet again with the socks & scandals ep. at just 2 tracks, there is no need to say more, with opener meat an understated mechanical exploration into the art of evolving and hypnotic beat-crafting, while bucket sheep employs rhythmic detail in a broader soundscape to great effect, offsetting the incessant marching bass expertly.

limited edition pressing on clear 10 inch vinyl with download code included.

finale breaks the gender barrier with the debut by this berlin producer. epic atmospheric piano house to techno driven peak time to raw dance floor killers, like finale does it.

oskar offermanns first solo 12inch on white since the infamous apple crumble ep! this beautiful wax is coming along with 3 subtle deep house tracks, which reflect the hours early in the morning when the peak time is already over, and everything calms down on the dancefloor

winter is almost over but for the uy080 we decided to dip our label paint-brush deep into a potty filled with white. the painter is called ruede hagelstein and his work of art is simply called minus. a track with the charm of a winter-landscape, fully accomplished, crystal clear and warming like an analogue heater. wearing almost nothing and casted into a snow-white plate it will be a pleasure for all vinyl collectors.

fifth single from the duo altarboy. side a:the marathon thing is slow and esoteric track with a long break in which the roman producers rise and fall of bpm. the song takes you on a world reminiscent of memory lanes horror movies. the b-side blackmail is a techno bomb with references to the early 90s. wonder wet could not be more clear than that. the sound of this label is solid as marble.

nice price deal !!! beleif system never fails! amazing spaced out axis like techno release. keep this frequency clear! join the engineers of the other space as they embark on a journey deep into the outer realms of the imagination. travel to the outer space division and fall into the strata. process the information and then make your escape! belief system is proud to present the newly received random audio transmissions from deep space central. shrinked.

italian producer domenico camarilla has hit a rich vein of form under the jose manuel guise of late, supplementing output on his own black pepper label with feted appearances for tusk wax, is it balearic?, lectric sands and citizen kanes disques sinthomme. given his profile, a union with the soft rocks affiliated kinfolk label makes utmost sense and jose manuel fans will find much to enjoy about ajna. both the title track and *the clear after the storm* are steeped in eastern mysticism and feature heavy percussion from the man manuel, whilst the accompanying soft rocks remix will appeal to fans of rabih beainis *tanki tanki* edit.

rick wade say: four new dynamite tracks ready to clear up all this confusion on what deep really means. i call this release, defining deep. so there you go... tip!

this is the first ep of aleqs notal, a boy who spent his early years in the heat and sand of saudi arabia, but then decided to take some dust with him and throw it in our ears. in love with the soulfulness of detroits style and the roughness of chicago suburbs, he comes solid with this four tracks release full of shadows and tricky rhythmic patterns.

sotofett remix! strictly limited vinyl with no re-press! silkscreened artwork by house of traps! clear 10inch vinyl!

block rocking, pop locking lonely c and baby prince are at it again with their latest fraiche ep on soul clap records. the troublemaking two-some take us back to 2011. it was a weekend in late august and new york city was practically under martial law. news tickers warned frightened citizens that a hurricane called irene would strike at any minute, flooding most of manhattan and williamsburg where the boys sat gleefully snacking and talking shit inside the world famous marcy hotel. with all airplanes grounded and the trains halted it became clear that lc & bp were going nowhere. it began to rain, the wind picked up and as the skies darkened, nyc declared a state of emergency.

mikal & break - status low : the ep opens with the step out monster *status low* a south country collab between co- conspirators mikal and break, it is a dj tool that stops for no one. the breakdown rolls through with drums and fx and then delves into even lower bass territory. it is a classic mikal & break affair - steam train, screw face and stepping.

just checking is a clear nod to the early works of ron trent & chez damier. tiltons plane has a massively chugging bass line coupled with a gritty conversation about the finer points of self perception.

bay area wonder kid nick monaco makes his shining debut on soul clap records with this very limited 7inch release. the a side butterfly is a slo-mo, 808 laden, melodic piece of postmodern psychedelic e-funk. on the flip side my babys back (cant wait) delivers a response to 80s icon cameos single life. an innocent yet poignant and hopeful breakup- to-makeup love song, its clear that monaco isnt too shy to reveal his romantic side.

creaked records is proud to present pole ep - the ambitious, moody, low end laden debut of swiss native gaspard de la montagne. from the beginning to the end its clear that this three track ep was tastefully put together by a passionate bass music lover to touch others of a similar inclination

more fresh & effective techno tools from blue hour. limited clear vinyl with insert and poly sleeve... in quick succession after his debut ep, blue hour continues to deliver raw & effective techno on his self-titled imprint. the second release >axis motive< pushes the next instalment forward into slightly austere, jacking territory.

2x12inch lp gatefold, blue vinyl (a), white vinyl (b), printed inner sleeve,! the duos long-awaited comeback was followed by critical acclaim and a series of live performances. while playing festivals in ibiza, georgia, denmark and the faroe islands last summer, john guldberg and tim stahl took the time to put the finishing touches on their upcoming release: uptimistic music, a double album featuring vol.1 and a second record of unreleased material.

courtesy of balance presents to you nws, the new project from copenhagen-based wonder kid and priest dj samuel andre madsen. straight up underground deep house, no frills and ready to move dancefloors of all kinds. *next to real* is a little bumpin banger, the more club oriented one, the safe shot in other words... pressed on 45 rpm to give so your message is heard loud and clear! the b-side shines as well with two deeper cuts that should easily stand out in the sea of averageness, at least we believe so. drop the needle and make you own decision about it.

ekster records from belgium delivering some beautiful moody electronix once again! limited to 200 crystal clear crystal clear copies in a beautiful silkscreened pvc cover. including digital download code!

the a1, named after the release title, is a summer techno drive, or a ride through a hot landscape in central america, as the notes of marimba suggest. the subtle but crackling low toms reverb dictates the driving tempo, while the chasing hats warn of a night which is likely to be dirty and sweaty. ready 2 glow opens with an enlightening synth note softly spreading through the air. its the after-hour call, the quietness before a new storm, which is about to boost and bring to surface the spastic contradictions of the drug-based soul liberating after-hour scene. corners goes funk, the quirky and rugged bass line lays at the core of the groove. above, we hear a multitude of spooky sounds and samples ranging from flying saucer sonic surges to playful stabs and bongo madness. the obsessive vocal echo, manipulated according to the abuse of ifferent drugs, is a clear indication of that. alza pure quanto vuoi is almost taken as it was firstly conceived during a jamming session. its twisted, swinging, it breaks the scheme of groove flowing as the tempo suddenly escapes to a faster pitch, jacked out

tenth release of the promising imprint focussing on warm and soulful vibes between indie, house, soul and downbeat. some well known producers showing their soft skills with own productions or edits / re-works they ever wanted to do. vinyl only! limited edition of 600 copies! comes in clear plasticsleeve!

alcis three part series titled early beginnings draws to a close and firmly cements the young swiss producer as a house music star in the making. alcis first ever demo was sent to phil weeks at the start of 2013, and so impressed was the robsoul chief that he instantly signed all 10 tracks to the label. alci, robsoul and phil weeks are an ideal match, as this third installment shows once again, with his funky, looped, sample-based and heads-down jacking house beats aligning perfectly with both phils and the labels philosophy and output. its also clear to hear the influence of the classic french house sound & robsouls interpretation of it in alcis music. the first two volumes in the early beginnings series picked up support from mosca (radio 1 play), darren emerson, roberto rodriguez, round table knights, matthias vogt, dirty channels, catz n dogz, rolando, hot toddy and many more

after the huge success of degree 002 by nick curly, which was played a lot on the hot summer festivals 2013, the label now comes up with its 3rd cracker called >nature calls ep< of the three romanian guys horatio, elchinsoul and gruia. three well-known artists, who will again let degree impact on the dancefloors around. despite the stylistic variety of three producers, a clear golden thread runs through the sound. it combines the sultry soul of romania and lets the blood boil in your veins. all in all degree again releases a totally different record, which however has its typical style. high-class sound which is told by artists, who tell more than just one story. a powerful ep for each moment in life and on the dancefloor.

this is the 13th label d!fus release, just after the terence parkers finally ep pressed on wax too. eedio was the first french artist signed on legendary bpitch control label during 2000s. many releases after that and a remix for agoria (kofea (eedio speaking remix) alongside the sky is clear (michael mayer remix)), eedio was on d!fus early hours with his elation (to feel) ep / d!fu 002 in 2007.

after ryan davis album particles of bliss in june 2012 on traum it was clear to everyone that he was one oft he most versatile artists on the label. there was no electronic playground he did not enter. his phanstastic and illusionary music makes him such a special artist for traum.

return of headphoniq! the next edition in the legendary series. a clear understanding has a very 1990s vibe. next is dubrazils red vinyl that was originally an untitled track with only 223 pressed. the midnight in tokyo unreleased project from japan. can you feel the beat is a classic.

sneaky music is the new imprint from andy bird, the man behind the infamous love fever parties, and producer ranacat. to kick off the new label they have chosen silk 86 to roll out the honours with an ep that showcases silk 86s evolution from the well received clear waters debut on manuccis mistress. the pleasure venture represents a compelling package of crisp production meets gritty warmth with a splash of that 80s sleaze. the pleasure venture ep leads with *felicity*, a production oozing with warmth from the offset. hypnotic vocal cuts pepper throbbing pads and bass stabs giving way to a meandering melody that weaves in and out. on the flip, *the exchange* fuses classic percussion of the windy city and a zig-zagging pad sample hinting at low slung 7am sleaze. *nightdrive* is when the freaks come out, as silk 86 hits eerie vocal snips to a twilight swansong that will disorientate and delight.

c.a.v.o.k. calls out our beloved oleg poliakov on his first release for us for 2013. its a good sign, that the skies are clear and we can carry forth on our musical mission unhindered by the weather. with an album looming on the horizon from our in-house weatherman, this ep sets us on a course across open plains towards that landmark, propelled by an infectious energy that marks a progression even for a producer as accomplished as oleg.

one listen to the crystal clear rapture in the sound of bodhi(cardiff 24 year olds olly howells and luke welsby) shows a heavily funk-influenced take on dance music, akin to many of the uks current crop of genre owning electronic artists (see disclosure, blawan, bondax). the response to their enchanting, dancefloor-ready vibe is already demanding considerable attention, with a bondax tour support under way and the likes of xlr8r already tipping these boys for big things.

we are pleased to welcome back the extremely talented need for mirrors duo back to the dispatch camp. here they strike completely on the money with the hard hitting funk-led *sling blade* and backing up the a side we have a heavy slice of bristol themed flavour for 2013 with *grapefruit*. both tracks present a clear nod to the old school and inspirational late 90s sounds we always loved (but never left!). need for mirrors prove again with this release that they are quite simply on a roll both as individual artists that make up the nfm duo and in their own individual right, definitely ones to watch for the rest of 2013 and beyond.

makoto returns to apollo with the primitive ep. as he builds his fast-paced style into a leaner, more aggressive manifestation of the soulful makoto sound, it quickly becomes clear that no one genre or signifier can fully describe this new collection of five tracks, from the rampant tribal ideology of *primitive* through the freestyle explorations of *ritual*.

christoph el truentos debut album, what we used to know, is born of change and confusion, and sounds utterly incredible for it. the deeply talented 24-year-old new zealander started writing back in 2011 at the time his son was born. tired fatherhood, personal upheaval and artistic indecision would actually help show christoph a clear path towards completing the record – a transcendant sweep of synths, samples, organic instrumentation and window ledge field recording that gently reveals new layers of sonic texture and emotion to the listener.

last known trajectory proudly presents inkamera, the solo project of the multi-talented victoria lukas, who of course you may well be familiar with from her previous work as zerkalo, performing alongside the legendary gerald donald. here, the first inkamera release demonstrates victoria’s clear understanding of what constitutes a solid and balanced musical project – ‘superpartners (photon photino) ‘ and ‘&#1089,,,&#1084,,,&#1077,,,&#1088,,,&#1090,,,&#1100,,, &#1085,,,&#1077,,, &#1089,,,&#1091,,,&#1097,,,&#1077,,,&#1089,,,&#1090,,,&#1074,,,&#1091,,,&#1077,,,&#1090,,, (death doesn’t exist) ‘ are both pacey, electro drivers with a distinct european feel, the former being quite upbeat, while the latter rendering a slightly darker more sinister air. ‘i can speak’ provides a volatile contrast with its crazy, freestyle electro beats and rhythms, whilst both ‘human terms’ and ‘potentia’ showcase victoria’s quite distinctive, totally unmistakable, seductively hypnotic vocal to a backdrop of gorgeous electronics. a superb solo debut from lukas – let us hope that there are many more to follow.

what more can be said about need for mirrors? with a track record as long as my dick nfm have trail blazed through a veritable who s who of top d&b labels, including metalheadz, shogun, v recordings, dispatch, symmetry, clear skyz and their own imprint zoltar.
with *voltaire* causing upset with club sound system engineers worldwide as feral youths wile away into a sensory-overload downward spiral and *heron blue* making hints towards dillinjas take on strontium jazz this 12 inch is undoubtedly going to upset you. that is why we think you should take a punt and buy it.
