the man with a hand in hypercolour, hypeltd, glass table, losing suki and sneaker social club has such an inexhaustible enthusiasm for all forms of electronic music that he is starting a new label! space hardware is jamie russells latest project and comes to fruition with the inaugural sounds of placeholder, an artist russell unearthed one afternoon on soundcloud. the labels mo is simple: to release spaced-out headphone music for the rave generation, where this debut ep consists of two original tracks from the mysterious placeholder, plus a tidy remix from uncanny valleys jacob korn.

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.

after a 5 year gap, vince watson released what is now his 7th! album to the world in march to great critical acclaim. 5 years is a long time to wait for something ... but some things in life are worth waiting for.
here on this ep, vince has selected 3 of the albums tracks, as well an exclusive. starting with a club version of the albumâ€,™,s title track, every soul needs a guide. its got roots in house, techno and latin jazz, but in reality its a fusion of all of the above and displays some wonderful production techniques along the way. the word inspiring is overly used these days, but it defines the soul of this track perfectly. following this is the quite breathtaking never too late with its lounge and jazz track roots, cementing vinceâ€,™,s one-man band status as intact. beautiful chilled out percussion and double bass soak up the timely keys and give you a real sense of the manâ€,™,s artistic prowess. stunning ...

012 seems to be jordan peak’s year! he will set up his own label and has remixes out on top class labels like 2020vision, real tone and ibadan.
>minor details< is another top production from up and coming uk producer jordan peak. with releases on quality labels like tsuba, robsoul, one records or area remote, this new release is another solid offering from the talented youngster. the original version of >three one two< is a percussive yet deep club track, whilst the julien sandre remix adds more pump with its rugged acid bassline. >got soul< is stripped down and raw, a trademark of jordan s work and thats what we like. nick lawsons remix takes the track in a smoother direction and completes this well balanced ep.

huge remix action of two previous releases on the very excellent japanese life on recordings run by tearz. here we have his two original tracks islero and miura remixed by stephane signore, s.p.t, tim baker and stereo jack all in a floor-filling club techno style but each putting their own individual stamp on the track.

after the success of their first release (etg001, programm ep) with all vinyl copies selling out, eartoground records quickly steps up again with some fresh new uk techno talent. while a lot of the focus on underground music culture in the uk remains on dubstep, we must not forget the fine pedigree we have in classic techno. here we present the first release from secluded alongside two superb, cutting edge club remixes from jonas kopp and markus suckut.

feted kosmische synthesizer wizards from cleveland oh, emeralds, have never had any of their music remixed before. let alone having the title track from their acclaimed 2010 album reworked (twice) into a floor-filling behemoth by daphni (aka dan snaith aka caribou). >we toured together in 2010 and since then ie always wanted to play their music in my dj sets. so i did my own version of this track<, says snaith. >is one of those tracks that whenever i play it i can feel the energy in the room lift.< luckily emeralds were equally enthusiastic and so this unlikely hybrid see the light of day. …or rather the dark inside of a club.

like hardly any other ambassador of modern rhein main house music, christian burkhardt has experienced a true rocket-like takeoff in the last year. burkhardts cocoon debut ep stopover goa has, after one year, still a place of honour in many djs record cases. also his legendary live set in the pouring rain at last years green & blue may belong to the lasting memories of a life dedicated to electronic music. the heidelberg-born producer has already worked for la peña, raum…musik and oslo, and his collaborations with einzelkind and sascha dive became a talking point, too. with his second ep for cocoon, he again sets new standards. theres nobody around who is able to alienate vocals from the collective memory of afro-american culture into a hallucinogenic cocktail without harmful side effects in such a way than burkhardt is. nevertheless, and despite the massive, forward-pushing bass drum and hand claps, he never loses the focus of his soul. so - open your mind, we wish you lots of fun with heart and mind and the considerably acid-like waffles, while the tropical-hypnotic seagull atmosphere of twentysecondcenturydrama already whets the appetite for the upcoming club summer season of 2012.

from the vibrant parisian house music scene of the 90s, ark already heralded the birth of our label, and pépé bradock remixed one of our most recent successes, nicolas jaar. now we turn to a man whose pure, simple approach to house music has influenced our most club-focused output. franck roger has been a great ambassador for the true meaning of french house music, from his own productions that stretch back more than ten years,through to his record label real tone. having started out producing direct, peak-time vocal cuts, francks dedication to his art has seen his music evolve across an ever-widening panorama of moods and feelings, sound sources and production methods

sophisticated bass re-rubs on two classic tracks by mieux, club material par excellence. 200 hand-stamped whitelabels only, no digital. act fast.

the long awaited dubplate anthem is here! as soon as we at ns-hq heard >drum track<, we knew atlantas helix would fit right in around here. his two main obsessions are old grime and looping hypnotic berlin techno. and it shows, as both collide here to produce the ultimate rhythm track. this is anthemic 8 bar techno, or sublow gone hands-in-the-air raving. this trak destroyed every festival we played at last summer. this is super-stripped down, poised club music - exactly what night slugs is all about. on the flip, we are honoured to have one of our all-time favourite mic controllers flirta d bless drum track with his >no hook no bs< version. known best for such grime bangers as slks >hype hype< and his own >warp speed<, flirta brings that unique sound-effects laden flow to the riddim like its 2004 again and triumphant rave anthems are going off once more.

the recent private releases did make a lot of italo and synth disco fanatics lovers happy. here is another one! a compilation of scarce and sought after tracks which previously have only been released on 7inch somewhere in the late 70s and early 80s.a cosmic journey into early techno and modern club music prototypes.the coverartwork makes this release especially interesting for collectors due to the fact it is an artprint of a high valuable artwork called space lucy by pop and space art legend charles wilp (the last reprint costed 3000 euro). this release was supported by the german aerospace agency dlr, no joke!recommended with a smile!

profound audio is back at it with a smashing new 12inch from monstar - and its one of many to come from this quickly rising talent. following up his devastating debut single, put ya hands up, monstar constructs two bangers of epic proportions. both harder & bastard have been inflicting massive damage in the dance and are currently receiving heavy club & radio support from some of the top taste-makers in the game. leading off the single, monstar delivers an anthem of a track that does exactly what it says on the tin. harder encompasses xxx female vocals, heavy-hitting drums and roller coaster-style, fluctuating basslines with enough sub to have your brain shaking inside your skull - what more could you ask for? a peak-time, dancefloor destroyer thats guaranteed to send the crowd into a frenzy! on the flip, he shows no mercy once again with bastard, a full-force, tearout dubstep number that will undoubtedly shred your bassbins into pieces. battering drums roll over ferocious, wobbling bassline combinations that fire at you in hyper-speed, leaving you no choice but to brock wild! this one is absolutely rough!

the italian slok consider himself more a great pasta chef than an underground contemporary electronic music artist...by the way, he had big influence on the italian breakbeat, drumnbass and jungle scene with his two debut albums they call it jungle and freak 2000, both produced for the renowned irma records. after a natural change to electronic and personal house music beats and sounds in 2006, the international club hit lonely child, released with the collaboration of satoshi tomiie & hector romeros saw recordings label (defmix production), boosted his musical career quickly. his discography also includes releases and remixes on hi profile records labels like get physical music, my favorite robot, circle music, one records, turbo, om, harthouse, plastic fantastic (stereonova), futic tokyo and many more. he currently runs on his own imprint electronic petz, a structure created for support brand new talented electronic music minds. in 2010 he released two different albums: rain, on alex flatners label circle music germany, and the fat pasta grooves on electronic petz. after an intense studio work and sounds research, the year 2012 promises to be full of new collaborations including the release of a new artist album and a live set.

the slat blinds in berlins panorama bar are part of the vjs equipment, and when the mood is right (usually around sunday afternoon),he opens them up to allow slices of sunshine to penetrate the smoky club air.it doesnt happen all too often,remaining something special amongst hours of darkness.but as ruede played the first version of shades in his last p-bar set, it seemed to happen just for him, as if he had written this tracks distinct break especially for this moment:everyone was mesmerized. re.you & rampa with a rmx for shades are also no strangers to such euphoria, and as ruede recently lent them his voice,they return the favor by building a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the a2.then, on the b-side, ruedes fellow band members from the noblettes make an appearance.as with shades,the focal point is also the big break,only this one has nothing to do with techno - its more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.

dubbed the godfather of french electro by i-d magazine and considered to be royalty of the french electronic music scene, joakims diverse and trendsetting musical tastes have earned him a pretty damn big global rep. on the labyrinth ep you can catch joakims darker dj friend extended mix, a lush analog slow burner from canadian duo and domino records regulars the junior boys, an even slower - borderline chopped and screwed - melodic mix from uk producer lone and a dirty arpeggiated beast from deadstock 33s and stopmakingme. future classic have been working with joakim in australia for some time now - touring him down under, partying and hosting shows together, trying to get him to go surfing with us and even getting him to put some club touches on future classic alumni mitzi. what a record!

his music is like a waterfall on house – organic, constantly running,sparkling and fresh.it could be the background tune for magazine beauties in st. tropez,it feels like a drive through californian valleys,or it may as well be the soundtrack tune for a full moon party on the greek islands - yes, it might indeed just be the result of many a club year. just as well, however, we can look at it as some sort of a flip side to those busy and dark times of dull and hard work back in the days, something to simply relax andm make you smile, after a hard days work, with a cigarette in one hand and a smooth drink in the other… imagine a piece of roxy music, a dancefloor in northern italy - some time in the late 80s - and joe smooths promised land.see what i mean?you picture this?well,in that case you have a pretty good idea of robertos serenades style.the original version of tell me feat.kholi is taken from the upcoming album dawn.

beautiful post club melancholia from ill-r with a techy mrsk and a funky matthew herbert remix. great release!

i was finishing up a long extended set in paris when the cleckcleckboom crew practically ran into the club to get on the decks. i had hung out with them before but tonight they had all new tracks and an incredible energy. so i stayed past the last ravers just to hear what they would play and that was when i heard “hugz” by french fries and bamabounou. this was a new sound, some nasty nasty shit sitting somewhere between juke and bass music and and i knew we had to get this sound on dirtybird no matter what. needles to say “yo vogue” is hot property and i’m really excited to release it on dirtybird. the half time drop, the chopped and screwed vocal, the stuttering bass kicks, the creepy moog on top - it’s simple and complex at the same time and it wrecks shop whenever it gets played. i did a remix on the b side giving it some db flavor and dirtybird newcomer leroy peppers lays out his own bay area skeeze with hot sauce on top. watch yer bass bins! best, vonstroke.

the dirty dutch! anticlub a notorious collective from eindhoven, the southern capital of holland, was inspired to push itself into a new direction. the inspiration came from a painting by an old lady that drew the attention and gave the impulse to create the album freaks and followers. as the title suggests there are two kinds of people, people who take risks and people who do not. as anticlub used to be a risk-taker but slowly settled in an unwanted comfort zone, this created dissatisfaction and led to a creative standstill. seeing the painting everything became clear again. one should not stand still but keep moving and evolve oneself into new areas that one has not yet explored creatively. as lessismore is from the same dutch city, this state of mind also hit the lessismore label, which inevitable resulted in both parties joining forces to release this diverse album by a former underground techno crew called anticlub. as the lessismore label is known for its typically styled techno, lessismore was searching for a new impulse sound wise and visually, to ensure creative satisfaction in the years to come. with this album everything came together and the lessismore crew reunited to renew their input into the label, which was once founded to be a creative platform and an artistic journey and in retrospective clearly not a platform where one should repeat itself time after time. freaks and followers is an 8 track album with raw electronic based music combined with a variety of vocal work by different new anticlub members. the overall feel of the album is a dark punky attitude that reminds of the good old days of rave, which in the early nineties dominated the dutch club and party scene. this period can be defined as being careless and not taking credibility into account, trying new things, being blunt and just partying your hart out. being older this is a feeling that will never have to die, proved by the old lady whose painting was used as the art-work of the album release.

introducing >the courts 12 inch, the first single from jam citys forthcoming debut album, out later this year on night slugs. a double-a side release that showcases the two extremes of the lps material - the sublime and the industrial. on the a-side is >the courts<, jcs rawest dancefloor-orientated work yet. hyper-tense club music built of skids, dribbles, passes, big jersey kicks, and permeated by an ostentatious slap bass. the result is a pounding, jacking grid of a rhythm track, moments of on-court action reassembled with robotic efficiency. on the flip, jam city links up with oaklands main attrakionz for a very special collaboration called >the nite life<. squadda b and mondrem.a.n. drop mesmerising other-wordly verses over jam’s low-slung beat. the atmosphere is dense, hazy with purple smoke and submerged in the smoggy californian marine layer.

boogie times brings this 1986 cornelius oliphant record back to 2012 dancefloors.

hissy fit is the brainchild of the moustache mamas, part berlin, part london composed of a us east-coast sensibility and a uk north east sense of humour. its a vehicle to be able to work with the artists and release the music they love, to give something physical (yes all releases will be pressed on vinyl) to the people that spend all that time dancing when the girls are djing. the mamas have then built up a reputation of being grade-a party starters across europe, playing at the rawest of parties, and outshining some of the boys in the boys club. their approach to djing is mirrored in their approach to starting hissy fit, the girls are serious about their music even if the music itself doesnt need to be serious. for its first release hissy fit welcomes aboard leeds based >death on the balcony<. this year they have been cosying up to the likes of soul clap and the wolf and lamb posse, as well as being booked to play all over the damn place causing hissy fits of epic (yet joyous) proportions. the ep contains three originals, and kicks off with >every time< a synth-laced house jammer that brings in the clap & the punch with just the right oomph for the kids on the floor.
