after the successful debut release schmitzhöhe ep, bergwacht records is now coming up with the second project arbol del tule ep. of course the now well-favoured sound of bergwacht turns up on this release as well, and with dutch artists michael and jurriën of 10dens two more appreciated ambassadors of melodic techno could be gained over. the idea of producing an ep to pay homage to the trees of our earth arised after a long-standing friendship followed by 10dens first gig at a bergwacht event end of 2012. once again this is made clear: bergwacht is a family affair.

from the soul-stirring opening strains of ex friendlys sublime start to the people are looking at you imprint, it is clear that the emerging nottingham-based producer has a gift for music that travels further than mere surface physical response. in a scene littered with disposable vocal turns, the simple poetry of rich medinas narrative that runs through journeyman resonates perfectly with the yearning strings and low-slung, bass-rich groove that come to define this exquisite approach to deep house. jonno & tommo hone in on the more rhythmical elements with their own dub of journeyman as a clearer club-ready intent meets with the psychedelic potency of the aqueous sound effects and that ubiquitous string hook. whether reaching for a more meaningful dimension to add to a set, or to simply drift away on the cradling nature of the music and its message, it is clear from the outset that this is music built to last.

beautiful and unrelenting, understated and overwhelming, mr. osborn delivers on the promise ofall of those adjectives with back 2 here. four detroit inspired compositions guiding your night to all of the right places, from dusk to sunrise. back 2 here bridges an intense emotional resonance from the thundering physicality of the club, the purple skied, clear summer after hours straight on until a post-party morning breakfast. with each new release, todd proves himself one of the true alchemists of electronic music

with mgf022 we open the sound-universe with and for ilia ferrein from novosibirsk, russia. with meeting sea & hover, ferrein creates a perfect, clear, dreamy and reduced as well as an euphoric dubsound atmoshpere, with little moments full of magic melodies. the proper counterpart and highlight remix on the b-site is presented by doyen robag wruhme. there is no further introduction needed, we think...his remix of meeting sea includes his typically energetic, nearly hypnotic sound and it grooves as always keeping the focus on the original track at the same time.

for the labels fourth release the aula magna team welcomes our first international guest, uks rising sound architect tomas rubeck. with inster ep the artist presents carefully crafted dub techno cuts and for remix duty we invited swedens mattias fridell to cast his techno spark to the package. its clear that rubecks sound and groove palette is born from producer whose artistry has taken a major leap forward. richly textured soundscapes define inster 01 and inster 02 on the a side, deep and warm tracks that hypnotize on steady but pushing beats. an inspiring experimental attitude gives shape to the aforementioned and the rest of the record. b sides inster 03 rests on a more broken-beat focus and the digital exclusive inster 04 shifts back to the dancefloor. in between, fridells cleverly designed rework of 03 boosts rubecks sounds into peak-time mayhem. a futuristic odyssey through unexplored acoustic dimensions awaits the listener

release number eight on london house maven george fitzgeralds manmakemusic label, the laszlo dancehall ep, connects two of the uks most exciting young producers: leon vynehall and christian piers. the sample driven crunch of vynehalls earlier productions on manmakemusic can be heard loud and clear complementing the canny but irresistible percussive and vocal shimmies of piers. aside track gave up, championed by george fitzgerald on his recent bbc essential mix for radio one, sets the pace and aims straight at the dancefloor with its strange sonic palette, at once euphoric and gritty. on the flip we get aint no time on which vynehall and piers give us their interpretation of classic house. the final track, manley harrison, is the strangest and arguably most original of the bunch and leaves the listener in no doubt as to why there is such a buzz about these two producers at the moment.

the guys from audision are back with their next release in coloured vinyl! they produced chimes 1 for their live-set and it was much appreciated by the crowd. their new syntie roland jd 800 sounded crystal clear in their studio, but when they practiced for their live set in frankurt last year, all of a sudden it played a different sound … this was a magic moment which had to be recorded at once. the typcial audision device is: let the machines do the talking. and that is the also the story of chimes 2 *away* was the beatless track from their last years release up & away. so no one else but gez varley aka g-man created a dancefloor monster out of it. where can we start, when we talk about such a genius like gez varley. he was co-founder of the legendary lfo (warp records) duo. he wrote music history with his partner mark bell. under his solo project g-man, he released on labels like wir, i220, force inc or swim. *quo vadis* is still one of the most important all-time favourite techno tracks. last but not least a typical rough and deep house mix came out of christopher raus machines. the smallville member released on labels like, pampa, derive, aim, mule… and delivered a great track for this wonderful release. all in all - a must have!

*** again: vinyl only ***
on the last various artists ep, we were seduced by the dutchmens music, it was clear for us to invite them for an exclusive ep. ivano is no doubt a one of the hottest new comers of the year, and were very happy to release his partner alex jansens 1st appearances on vinyl. 3 personal, inventive, emotional tracks, great work on textures of the sound definitely groovy as hell. varoslav gives here a more housy version for the dancefloor. expect to hear more from the guys in 2013!

ethereal, haunted deep house music from beyond the grave, spirit-channeling from the deepest recesses of electro-spiritual obscurity. the slow to speak label presents its latest offering—a residual of the holy-era of the ny underground continuum, conjuring the ritual and pomp of the new electronic goth without abandoning its undeniable roots in the techno/deep house story. dark-matter melodies interlock in an ever off-centering orbit of sparse percussive return, while the distorted exhortations of some wandering intergalactic phantasm whisper menacingly just beneath the surface. trance-inducing, strangely unsettling and ultimately transcendent—further evidence that electronic music can transport its listeners into the fertile pastures of the sublime like any other high art. clear vinyl pressing with japanese obi.

murat tepeli and ava. celebrate the long awaited single debut of murat tepeli on ava. with ?fee fi foe funk for me ep?. at the same time it s the return of a very well-known duo: murat tepeli & prosumer. after damiano von erckerts & tito wuns very successful ava.lp001 ?mr. pink, what have you been smokin??, this release makes another clear statement, how much freshness and undiscovered space there is in house music. a space, which murat tepeli and the remix-artists damiano von erckert und prosumer are surely filling with their exceptional tracks.

this peaktime bomb has long been a secret weapon in the clubs. unavailable until now, grooveseeker is finally out on vinyl! an a-side produced to be played loud! alex celler is the man who breathed life into this groovemonster! with the b-side, the producer lays his heart at the feet of sound. there almost uncanny soundscapes build up and break over and through the beats! the digital remix was put into dragoshs hands, giving him the chance to prove once again his incredible talent for clear structures!

many missed the great 3rd romb release with the secret weapon of serge and mark du mosh, the b2 track by pawel kobak (psssst! we didnt tell you this!) the 4rth romb release also comes with a clear focus on the dancefloor and received strong support from guys like cos/mes, mark e, james priestley, disco dromo and others. romb again takes a stance for musical diversity, presenting a snapshot of the stockholm electronic music scene. great production, with tracks stretching from acid to more minimal house and techno, combining classic sounds with new ideas. get a copy while you can - only 200 copies pressed!

myk derill (knotweed, reform, etc.) is one of the most interesting dub-techno artists! here he offers two great tracks of high quality and class. never hard but never soft. the release is completed by a fantastic remix signed by markus suckut (figure spc, sckt,etc.)his remix is a clear reference to the atmosphere of the past, with his usual class! another good step for fluxus records.

tropics a.k.a. chris ward first appeared on planet mu last year, following up two eps with the album parodia flare. commended by pitchfork for his lush soundscapes and hazy pop, whats clear with tropics is that he listens to a lot of dance music and he cares about production values. the synth and beat programming is as competent as anything out there, and he avoids lazy indie stylings and one button bontempi organ beats – his are crafted songs, much of the pleasure lying in his gift for dynamic arrangement, which is a joy amid rafts of useful formulaically assembled house tracks.
in common with the general post-financial collapse vibe there is less sunshine in this ep than before, and he has absorbed something from a year of intensive house music listening, but chris essential qualities remain a forward-looking wistfulness, hope beneath melancholy, something even more acutely needed now than before. oh look! here comes winter.

vinyl only! amazing masterpiece! first single from simon haydos dem imprint. contemporary techno with an inch of studio 1 or thomas brinkmann. keep your mind clear and your eyes open, more to come.

steve bug returns with a brilliant set of killer reworks from his much-lauded noir album. no adjustments features the vocal talents of foremost poets, and remains one of the standout moments on the label boss enigmatic long player. where noir explored the themes of light and shade, it was always clear that no adjustments was one of the more straight up dance floor moments on there, and as such this release is definitely going to be thankfully received by djs.

oneoffs is a new sub label under the ever growing local talk umbrella. with oneoffs we have a clear vision to deliver not only one house style but to be very open minded within the whole spectrum of 4/4 rhythms. it is all about being musically curious, free and looking at house music with both retro, current and futuristic specs. so basically dont expect anything, our aim is to surprise you! the first release has three different producers from sweden, ireland and spain showcasing three different styles of house.

there has been much speculation about the significance of the mayan system of timekeeping. many researchers on the subject have verified that the mayan long count calendar, which is only one of several advanced timekeeping tools devised by the mayan people, comes to an end on december 21, 2012, with no real clear explanation as to what exactly that signifies. this musical offering is not meant to speculate on the meaning of this date. instead, it serves as a tribute to one of the most astronomically, mathematically and architecturally advanced civilizations in the history of planet earth. each track is a tribute to one of the many mayan spiritual sites known to date.

after his separation from playhouse in 2007 and the rather longish break that followed it, it looks as if isolee has finally found their new homebase with pampa records. evidence of this may be found in such unprejudiced tracks as taktell, a single extracted from the album well-spent youth. as is tyical for isolee, it defies any clear-cut genre classification and creates its very own harmonic setting, merging associations of pop, house and distant landscapes into a unique sound voyage.

knox is the band brainchild of brother-sister duo nic and eliza coolidge. hailing from boston and new york, the siblings released their second ep, here, on december 3rd, and it is a big step forward for the band. formed less than two years ago, in march 2011, knox finds themselves working with the likes of john tejada and kuxxan suum on this release, and the outcome is stunning. here is five-song set full of ice and echoes. it runs as close to the third rail of impersonation, but flies away so quickly that knox sounds contextual and perfectly fresh. the influences from james blake is clear: the swooping, bomber bass and half-timey compressed dub beats, here could also easily be an inventive b-side to the latest how to dress well album. but, with the limited scale, interspersed remixes and foundling status in the scene, i would say it is likely a more impressive feat. the ep as a whole is desolate. expansive spaces filled with cold little beats and vocal washes, exploring in the course of five songs an icescape aesthetic with a sense of place usually reserved for full-length albums. the remixes blend so seamlessly that i didnt even realize they were during my first, casual listen.

this sound will definitely clear your mind and thats a promise! with great pleasure brouqade proudly presents dragosh, a highly talented young producer from rumania. his ep, five is uncompromisingly devoted to his obsession with snare and bass descending into the depths, there, where the beat sharpens the senses. vocals whisper unexpected secrets. dragoshs molecular, crystal clear sound beams directly onto the dancefloors. no detours.

already a regular fixture on figure, swedish talent mikael jonasson returns for his third outing on the label with two cutting-edge techno experiments. incredibly crisp and clear, already primed for the worlds finest bigsystems, cravings encapsulates everything that a modern paranoid techno jam should be. surging textures, static-madness and a whole lot of detail wrapped up in a rolling, funky workout. jonasson is well known for his attention to detail and freaky, alien sound effects, and cravings only solidifies his talents there. the fizzing, low slung thump of swings still twists and shimmers in the high frequencies, full of details, but the deeper earthy kick and bass barrage take this one into more serious, heads-down zones. a real slammer for moments when you know youve captured your followers completely

prplx continue with four new tracks of the highest quality exploring the deeper side of the breakbeat spectre. these tracks still reminds us of early bluenote & speed days but definitely with modern production skills, wich can be heard in the mysterious & deep mask track (also known as the ufo track, samples where taken from an old sci-fi documentary, exploring unidentified flying objects). part two comes with full coloured artwork, limited to a 250 handnumbered edition on 180 gram crystal clear vinyl (customized 75mm labelcopies and 75mm innersleevesholes)

this record is made of free radicals. whereas maestro felix bernhardts original is a full throttle primetimer, climbing up the ledder of suspense to receive a thousand of italian kisses, the rework of wahrlich & carbon is condensing the tune into a very robust and clear-shaped construct of techno essence.

the analogue cops and blawan are back on vae victis with the second installment of their brand new parassela series. the intent of threesome to restore the old school analog vibe is clear also in this 4 tracks ep of raw and gritty techno which also feature an astounding remix from italian label pals die roh.

for signal life #03, we teamed up two young vigorous south londoners: mr. louis carnell, known by his moniker visionist, and mr. marco giuliani, who works under the alias last japan. >control this< by visionist combines his background in south london grime with his signature drum machine template and lo-fi vocal excerpts into a coherent mesh. our favourite visionist track to date! when we first heard >storm trooper< by last japan, it was the tension we got caught up in. the song is focused with a clear direction, uncommon in most young talent, armed with a driving snare-fill rhythm reminiscent of south rap and all that exiting stuff in the 160 bpm. i believe murky is the correct term. we predict interesting things for mr. giuliani.

it is a cold dark winter – snow is lying everywhere. simon12345 and the lazer twins are heading up north into a little wooden house in the northern parts of denmark. they will live there for the next weeks and build up a temporary studio in this secluded cottage. simon has got a handful of sketches with him. musical states of mind and conceptual games he developed over the last years. basically the idea is to develop something truly unique and powerful – although none of them knows how that will sound exactly or what will happen in particular during this time. it is not even clear who plays which instrument, who will do what…nothing is set. the only thing clear is that they have things to say, things that have been burning in them for so long now. tell me. how can (mostly) instrumental music suggest a way of life? how can you criticize without pointing at something particular? how can music transport you into place of quietness and self reflection?

after an acclaimed serie of remixes on labels like freerange, fresh meat, composite & komplex de deep in 2011, dairmount is back on his own imprint with dust devil. recorded this summer between gothenburg & berlin with nowakowski, the swedish hotshot of the label, dust devil emphasized strongly dairmount s love for house music infused of hip hop attitude. the motto is clear: reduced number of elements, samples only, maximum impact. dairmount, who has always been strongly influenced by hip hop production techniques, had lots of fun to collaborate with nowakowski, another strong hip hop influenced tweaker. following a busy dj schedule that brought him in the last 18 months across scandinavia, us, turkey, france, holland & latvia between others, dairmount is the true soul & ambassador of the label that he created in 2009.
