the coeo boys need no introduction anymore. their two last singles made it into the sets of so many djs. they are among the emerging artists of that new german scene of kids that make house music inspired by old jazz and funk records. the boys are mad about rare vinyl. and they love to make music with a positive spirit. yes, there is something sunny in their tracks. something that instantly makes you want to move. we heard so many mixtapes that started with a coeo track. makes sense: they are perfect to set a vibe. a good mood. but if you know that the coeo boys work in a studio over the roofs of munich, with a fantastic view over the lights of the city, with a great vibe where you see all the glammy colors of the light in the night then you understand why coeos music sounds as it sounds

the maverick maestro from the bay dave aju is back with his circus family here with an incredible new release. based on stripped-down hardware sessions rocking just a roland tr-909 and sh-101, aju once again proves that no sound set need be limited in itself and along with the addition of one microphone for his inimitable soulful voice, creates one of his strongest and most imaginative releases to date, the 10101 ep. a multiple homage to the 101 freeway that spans his native golden state and the numeric classic analog boxes used vs digital binary to process them, the four rich tracks offer the best of both worlds and cover all the bases of mr ajus musical multiverse. low dive starts things on a deep heads-down dance floor tip where rising synth lines soar over a blast of shuffling drums and percussion for a rocksolid djs delight. always never comes next with pure aju magic, equal parts song and track, an ear worm of a chorus, and full of sunny west coast electro influences all the way through. on the flip sides may very well be one of ajus most intense transmissions ever, with a sublime and seemingly endless build-up of dark pads, driving, shifting rhythms, and voodoo vocals that will detonate many a peak-hour sound system guaranteed. aju then tastefully finishes with the cool psychedelic mid-tempo bump of tell her why which harks back to his hip-hop roots and wraps up the vibe and elements of the whole ep perfectly. welcome back with a bang brother aju!

unicazürn build their long, ceaselessly evolving musical compositions through a process of improvisation followed by careful editing and processing. their music, drawn from subconscious associations while recording, is frequently aquatic or oceanic in overall mood and texture. knight has spent most of his life living on the banks of the thames while thrower resides on the east sussex coast, and their musical flights of imagination tend toward rolling river dynamics and the open seas of synthesised sound.

modern boogie bangers! computa games drops its second vinyl release on new orleans own superjock records. “computer rock (og mix)” is that feel good funk with heavy bass, smooth synths and vocoder vocals to top it off. the flipside, “computer rock (west coast mix)” gets a g-funk treatment giving it that boom bap that you can rock to! definitely a staple for the crates.

seige monstracity is an anomaly in the music industry. he rides the fence, providing the contemporary soundtracks for successful commercial artists such as yg, tyrese, keisha cole, and marsha ambrosius, as well as producing grimey backdrops for underground artists like bizarre, bad lucc, and namebrand.
this is a collection of the latter. seige’s debut lp contains 12 incredible doses of heavy beats, chopped up breaks, and obliterated samples. a detroit transplant in los angeles, both cities are omnipresent at all times on the lp.
“swahililand” is a west-coast interpretation of the classic “stakes is high”. “careless” revives a classic david axelrod moment. “dirt bag” sounds like a late night liquor store robbery. “doves” takes a classic from one of our all time greats who we lost recently, and transforms it into a ride thru the hood on a beautiful day in los angeles.
this is not to be missed. another classic collection of beats from street corner music.

1per customer , marcus guerra s productions from some ten years ago are highly sought after, whether in the attendants or on his own as homero g. after many years of silence, the west coast label revives itself with a third instalment in the crucial deep cut collective series, and it s heartening to see that guerra s instinct for deadly deep house hooks has not faded one jot. just try listening to -feelin understood- and not getting the urge to hit the nearest dancefloor. the mood stays varied across the 12-, with the more percussive -days of the dcc- sitting in opposition to the none-deeper seduction of -by my side-

i walked by night is a new label created with the ethos that comes from the foundations of any good resident dj, that of good selection. label boss krysko, who has held residencies for over 16 years, brings his experience to his new label. the debut release comes from tristan grace, a uk based artist (aliases - oe & prime time crew). raised propping up record store counters on the south coast since his early teens, now lives pretty isolated from current club culture. nothing beats being in the storm of a dance floor, but being able to step away from the pull and draws of the scene allows him to diarise his occupational exposure through trax. inspiration from the motor city and acid sound lies at the heart of what he does. influenced by rolling green hills, and surrounded by the analog soul of his machines - he has an addiction to vintage machines of asian origin, valves, and its fair to say, he lives his life in 16 step sequence. the furse ep moves across the width of his sound, and this being his debut release on i walked by night, there will be many more to come.

zarkoff (sasa rajkovic) is croatian musician and sound engineer that has been busy making proper sound of dozens labels and doing his own music last ten years. genre could be described as dark electronics, somewhere between techno and synth wave, but if there is something that makes him unique, it s his powerfull and distinctive voice. sasa is also member of ebm-ish project sumerian fleet, having releases on mighty dark entries or creme organization, where we took the opportunity and asked his colleague, legendary mr. pauli to enrich this 12inch with proper west coast style remix.

even if russian producer gradient logic is found here turning out the business on serbian label disco fruit, the sound on the far away ep comes on like a snappy fusion of garage-ready new york proto house and laid back west coast boogie of the highest order. it s the third vinyl release for tonbe s label, and once more marks the serious clout behind the eastern european operation and its closest artists. just try grooving to the slick bass pops on feel me without being transported to an early 80s dancefloor. there s a more organic funk to lock into on i want you slide, but as ever it s hard to tell where the sampling ends and the musicianship begins on this utterly natural sounding ep.

after their initial 7- back in 2015 the boys have been riding high, riding low and put together 2 more tracks of west coast psychedelic blue eyed soul... galloping percussion ride through tear it down while the harmonies build around the lead vocal that is backed by a wonder rhodes accompaniment that takes on a life of its own and the track builds to crescendo before opening up and allowing the vocal to come back for a final outing... ‘sugar rush is a more downtempo number, tripped out vocals of acid adventures and wonderful big strings to create a trip through mustard yellow fields, purple skies and forests of candy green trees... the flip side see s the cosmic capers of dan wainwright twist sugar rush into a 9 minute epic trip designed for the dance floor

betonkust and palmbomen ii are back with their second collaborative effort. this time on the dutch pinkman label. six brand new tracks that seem a lot darker than their previous work. somewhere between belgian new beat from 1988 and the west coast sound of holland. a lo-fi nightmare that turns out to be reality. pounding drums, paranoid acid patterns and angsty out of control synth choirs.

based out of san francisco, extra classic is a unique live band formed with a keen appreciation of vintage reggae & vintage sounds. the aesthetic, and certainly the skilled method of their production, is an ode to the art of that classic style as referenced to the term coined by the cool ruler himself. recording in their own studio, nopal recording, the band employs a taster’s choice of analog equipment and is devotedly tracked, spliced and mixed in-house direct to tape. however, as the group’s name itself implies, there is a dose of something extra and new in this swirling mixture of space echo, heavy phase, and emotive, psychedelic california-soul.
built upon the rock of an early-era dancehall swing, their first single in conjunction with brooklyn-based imprint names you can trust entitled in this life, is a perfect slice of lover’s rock gone sideways, a decidedly left-coast piece of roots and bliss driven by adrianne delanda’s lovely lead vocals and the steady, dusty echoes of the locked in players. presented in the traditional format with a version as per nyct fashion, the dub mix incorporates a soothing dose of synare beams and underwater instrumental dreams.

as &me’s last two eps on keinemusik have been hitting the bulls eye of public perception immediately, his km034 for sure will meet high expectations from djs and crowd alike. what should one do within this sort of spotlight? boil up the same old formula? milk the cow? play it safe? well, &me is rather going for the ‘don’t overthink it and just do whatever you like’-option. which in case of this “one on one”-ep is a collaborative effort with english singer/songwriter-enigma fink, that’s letting musicality rule over functionality.

oddball space disco tracks compiled from library tracks composed between 1975 and 1978. big tip!! from the early 70s to the mid-80s, this self-taught musician composed about twenty albums of production and library music with generic cover art and titles (out of the way, magical ring, keys of the future, pulsations, more and more, etc.) that evoke interstellar travel. these experimental discs, made with love, humility and rudimentary means, had no ambition other than to accompany other peoples images. by exhuming these obscurities from the dustbin of history, born bad have decided otherwise. archaeologists with an agenda, they seek to give jean pierre decerf the renown he deserves: that of an innovator whose rhythmic, synthetic compositions inspired the harbingers of the french touch (air comes to mind), not to mention some east coast rappers.

interior groove traveler, and recent resident of canada’s “left coast”, unknown mobile has honoured us the privilege to issue his first 12-inch record. the three cuts hike through rolling levels of melodic foley and pensive oral snippets, laid over tough low-end and resonant harmonies. percussion is sparse yet carefully woven around patterns that wash in & out. while “no motion” and “rhododendron” induce a state of calming limbo, “mantra” offers a celebration of dance.

big mean sound machine is a twelve-piece afrobeat band native to ithaca, new york. they tour 150 days a year and have a large and dedicated following up and down the east coast. still, it is a crime that big mean sound machine is not well known elsewhere. the band’s tremendous sound combines a big band aesthetic while channeling a global sense of musicality. their shows leave fans drenched in sweat from dancing as audiences absorb the west african, caribbean, jazz and funk traditions that big mean sound machine carries forward.

yalta is a resort city on the southern coast of the crimean peninsula surrounded by the black sea. this place has heavily influenced a talented artist pavel milyakov also known as buttechno. this album is his dedication to yalta, but it’s not just about geographical location, it’s about a special and sacred state of mind and soul that the producer calls -yalta-. this very personal work of a mature author reflects his deep and multifaceted approach to the research of the sound language.
