san gabriel is the new forward-thinking beat project from the multi-instrumentalist/producer butchy fuego. his upcoming ep volfe is full of warped and pulsing pan-global club music, a signature marriage of tropical riddims, dubbed out soundscapes and modern r&b minimalism. striking the perfect balance of booming bass and tricky rhythms, our first taste from the upcoming ep >gore text< makes for some serious sideways heat. san gabriel has caught the attention of the press early on with signature frantic rhythms and twitchy hi-hat work. along with >gore text<, san gabriel offers up a b-side (not on volfe) called >nu boots< that evokes some aztec sun rave in the year 2040 vibes. just a fiery taste of whats to come on this upcoming debut ep volfe.

visioneers – hipology produced by marc mac (4hero) marc mac is one of a rare breed of producers who moves smoothly between different genres flitting between pseudonyms while leaving a trail of quintessential releases.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

unreleased egyptian jazz: 2x45s set in a unique hand-printed fold-open pyramid! four sides of previously-unreleased ethnic mythic mystic jazz from the legendary egyptian drummer! before the re-release of his album with the cairo jazz band recently, the name salah ragab was best known to jazz fans and record collectors by way of another lp that was recorded with sun ra in the early 70s. his album >prism music unit< with the cairo jazz band was released in egypt with another by the cairo free jazz ensemble, but perhaps only salah himself knew of the other songs he had recorded at the time, but didnt make it onto these lps. the tapes lurking for decades in an old trunk, its taken until now for them to see the light of day, and we present them here as four amazing pieces of egyptian jazz on 2 seven inch singles. entombed within a hand-printed, hand-made pyramid shaped box, this is the first time in 40 years that these recordings will have come to light. ladies and gentlemen, behold the splendor that is salah ragab and the cairo jazz band!

nach touren rund um den globus kehrten eleanore und jason zurück in ihr abgedunkeltes studio und arbeiteten an dem hypnotisierendem nachfolger zu ihrem beeindruckenden debüt. >red night< wirkt wie eine meditation über trennung und wiederfindung, über fast verloren gegangene liebe und die lang nacht zu ihr zurück. der thith sound vermählt furchtlos minimalismus und abstraktion mit grossartigen melodien. eindringliche stringarrangements werden von treibenden rhythmen und eleanores faszinierender stimme überrannt. >red night< ist ein trip durch die schwarze grossstadtnacht, in der zeit sich dehnt, geschwindigkeit bricht, und gitarren in donner und herzklopfen eintauchen, bei immer intensiver werdenden vocals, je länger die nacht dauert. nach jüngsten auftritten mit odd future und kid cudi, mit den yeah yeah yeahs, james murphy und squarepusher werden thith jetzt auch bei uns ihr neues album ausgiebig live präsentieren!

fur the texan, born bryce isbell, extracts minutiae with precision. his compositions, while airily sparse, are saturated with details plucked from broad of landscapes, whether they resemble the texan prairie or the expanses of industrial germany. isbells composite micro-samples are infinitesimal, soaked in breathless allusion and divorced from their context. the crisp, insistently percussive arrangement oscillates like metal shavings manipulated by an unseen magnet. fur has untraditionally tapped into a eu techno mind-meld, a berlin thought-stream. after his early work with neon indian’s alan palomo as ghost hustler, isbell dove deep into minimal sounds that transported listeners closer to inner city detroit than the mid-west. unos first fur ep cocoon follows several years of isbell silence. after a notable debut with lefse, fur submerged below a sea of techno and came up with a deep analog style that has acquired fans in fred p and firecracker records with twisting house like >knots<. a second part in the fur saga on the way, uno has faith this young westerner will be putting a big texan stamp on the house scene to come.

little is known about the norwegian bunny & bear duo known simply as the glue. their last appearance with us came courtesy of kolour ltd and we knew right then that these boys were in-store for their own ep with us and we are pleased to announce that it has finally come to fruition.

brill groovin techhouse monster, vinyl only release

limited reissue of a very rare and highly in-demand 1986 12 inch from indian ocean, alias of late great disco legend and sleeping bag founder arthur russell. although russells original version on side a is fantastic in itself, the stunning abstract walter gibbons mix on side b is where its all at. with irrepressible madcap gibbons at the helm, the track mutates into a strangely subversive dancefloor odyssey way ahead of its time which still sounds futuristic today. with a raw sparse experimental sound, this progressive sonic journey rolls along for over 10 minutes pulsating with a jazz-influenced interplay of funk-heavy bongos, stabbing synths, off-the-wall vocals and russells trademark cello. one of the great moments to come out of the vibrant art/disco not disco crossover scene of 80s new york - dont miss your chance to bag a vinyl copy of this obscure gem.

a medley of immortally, electrifying, sonic gems assembled to manipulate time and secure a permanent space in your record box. drivetrains this toxic tempest starts the clock with a classic detroit-tronic wave of pads and beats accompanied by the unconscious spoken word of poet/vocalist goddess stephanie. cloudmasterweeds love showcases impassioned vocal samples atop a thunderous bass with keyboard melodies sprinkled throughout in abysmal syncopation. j garcias fireside warm-up is finely tuned deepness with no compromise to the dance floor. an apprentice to the masters of authentic detroit electronic soul, garcia has come of age. with their debut release, the dual jay ramsey and jennifer xerri comprise in2itive motion. subliminal is a smooth expedition through the deep channels of audio seduction. time stands still as rumbling subs cut through rich chords.

well, the deep, raw and real series has come to an end with volume 4, but quintessentials keep these lovely compilations coming. the thank you freaks series is about hot tunes from hot producers. and part 1 is offering a lot of them: andy ash, uncle deep, chicago damn and marcos cabral! quite essential!

big with:ernesto ferreyra, the mole, akufen, vincent lemeuix.. inspired by classic disco and electro, dkmd have already produced several dance music tracks, using old and new technology in order to come up with a unique sound which pays homage to their predecessors without sounding pastiche. echoes of giorgio moroder and donna summer can be felt throughout on the other side, while the playful and sensual taxi cab recounts the familiar story of an early morning phone call received by a girl in a cab, on her way home from a pleasurable night out. perhaps it is their experience playing together as improvisers that adds a special touch to their dance music,as they have grown accustomed to perform almost every element in their tracks using hardware intruments and effect boxes.in addition to their disco project,the two have a considerable track record as experimentalists and the dark,cosmic and mysterious androide is a good example of some of their output in the genre.even though dkmd are only at the beginning of their dancefloor adventures,they show no signs of stopping,and when asked what comes next,they will likely answer

having brought 2011 to a close with two sell out releases (oh my days & highlife) under his belt, a growing fan base which counts ricardo villalobos, andrew weatherall, gilles peterson, caribou and jackmaster amongst its members. lining up residencies at the legendary plastic people in london, glasgows sub club and festival appearances this summer, auntie flo has been on a roll!it now gives us great pleasure in presenting the future rhythm machine.

the byrds were one of the earliest groups who could combine the best of two worlds. they caught on to the energy of the british invasion and combined it with the lyricism & musical elements of the contemporary folk movement.
along the way they pioneered psychedelic and country rock, always keeping things recognizable with their vocal harmonies accompanied by their jangly guitars.
on their third album >fifth dimension< from 1966 they started showing a more lsd-tinged side of themselves with the psychedelic rock of songs such as >eight miles high< and >i see you< and a preference for the indian raga.
one of their most pioneering albums re-issued on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!

the best things come in threes: after his recent success with the the devil in me, a glorious collaboration with oliver koletzki as part of großstadtmärchen 2, and the big jet plane ep for our good friends at dantze, poster-boy jan blomqvist presents his first 12inch on stil vor talent, ink. things kick off with the title track, whose classic song structure and romantic melodies rub elegantly against tougher, sometimes distorted electronic percussion to create a tension that would be at home on a radiohead lp

laurine frosts long overdue second ep for thema is upon us in all its dark, oblique splendor. 2009s thematique showed the mysterious hungarian producers deft sound design and uncanny programming married with a wide breadth of musical tastes and unpredictable choices of composition. it seems that these attribute have only sharpened and are now driving a much more groove-focused approach. so enjoy this, yet another left turn from thema. we are proud to bring you the best from those artists working beyond the well-worn paths of electronic dance music and we are glad laurine could come back to guide us just a little farther off that path.

morphology is back on semantica with his trademark sound, his moody atmosphere, beautiful melodies and rhythmic beats that we have come to love.

short stories is the fruition of musical ideas brought forth by label owner / chief producer gabriel ananda and multitalented instrumentalist and vocalist alice rose. the two of them have come together to resurrect a project from 2001 and have put together a colorful mix of strings, vocals, and melodies. there is something familiar and comforting in the sound of this ep. it could be roses strings, which were introduced with her debut for basmati food for dreams (basmati 06), or elements of anandas live series, there is an aspect to the sound that just fits. ananda and rose have delivered the complete package. the a-side opens with the not-so-short short stories, a fourteen minute evolving trip covering the scope of both producers’ talents. the b-side contains two versions of “struck by light. the techno version comes with power and emotion, crafted for the dance floor, which is followed by the deeper, original version recorded for the first time in 2001.

from gui borattos latest album iii comes >this is not the end<, an indie minded track that convincingly demonstrates guis impressive skill set when it comes to emotional narratives embedded in a distinctively monumental context. like his timeless >beautiful life< and last years album highlight >destination: education< (already remixed to perfection by terranova and tale of us), >this is not the end< features the beautiful vocals of luciana villanova, who seems to know exactly what makes gui tick - which doesnt come as a surprise, as they are married – and possesses this rarest of all gifts, an unique voice that seems to address each listener personally. in his own 2012 mix featured here, gui doesnt so much concentrate on the originals tearjerking qualities (which were already fully formed), but streamlines the arrangement for ease of use on the floor of your choice, making the track even more refined and addictive. those of you looking for a slighty more adventurous approach will find their satisfaction with michael mayers rework on the flipside, where the source materials hypnotic qualities are brought to the fore, resulting in a masterful slice of catchy prime time psychedelica. with both mixes turning out to be instant classics, we can definitely confirm that this is not the end.

with >dazed<, senking continues his exploration of the abysses of sound to create dark and gloomy atmospheres. the slow beats of the two tracks are accompanied by tender, harmonic melodies, but broken by nervous, unsteady tones which seem to be a warning against hidden dangers. the first track >the dance hall walk< also features a vocal sample by micheal cramm - a text which reflects the nervousness and excitement in anticipation of some thrilling things to come. like >tweek<, senkings last ep, >dazed< is not only concerned with the depths of sound, but also with the depths of the human psyche, where there is no escape other than music itself.

from the beginning of bristol archive records involvement in documenting bristols neglected reggae heritage we have wanted to release an album that showcases the great talent of one of the local reggae scenes mainstays, joshua moses.
unfortunately, joshua has no copies of the many recording sessions he has done in the years since his first session in 1978, and so it has taken more than eighteen months of painstaking research and the pursuit of numerous leads to gather together the fifteen tracks on >joshua to jashwha - 30 years in the wilderness<. the result is more than worth any effort involved on our part and is as strong a debut album as anyone could wish for, guaranteed to create a buzz among reggae fans worldwide.

ltd red coloured vinyl edition... for this release, we have a very special cooperation to show off with: cassegrain & tin man ! cassegrain are greek-british producer alex tsiridis and berlin/vienna based composer and producer hüseyin evirgen. with a well developped sensitiveness the duo designs futuristic and dark techno sound- scapes with a strong experimental touch. tin man is another outstanding artist and the second half of this collaboration. with his releases on cheap records, global a and the sähkö-sub label keys of life he proved well, how easily he can switch between strong classic acid and abstract, postmodern songwriting. the tracks that resulted from this very special collaboration, are exactly what you might expect: an ideal and unique combination of modern dark techno as it comes from labels such as prologue or stroboscopic artefacts and classic acid. some of them aim directly at the dancefloor, some come along rather dreamy and spaced out. perfect for killekill.

satoshi tomiie biggest hit was >tears<, a collaboration with frankie knuckles that was released on ffrr back in 1989. the release of the single was a ground breaking moment, at a time when the huge movement of house and techno was in its infancy. more than 20 years later and satoshi has just completed the building of his brand new studio in new york city. with his focus having been firmly on his dj touring for many years,interspersed with releases and remixes, its now time for the saw recordings boss to enjoy his very own new flight deck. straight up is a track that displays the true and original acid house sound! says systematic boss marc romboy of the first single to come out of tomiies studio. having immediately snapped up the tune for the label he called his good friend alex niggemann in berlin who, sharing his friends opinion and love of the track, spontaneously set about producing his own interpretation.

in his biography, arjuna schiks is described as a producer with an ability to bring the human out of the machine, unleashing our emotions. after listening to doha , we were affected in the same way. simply put, his music makes us feel good. melodic accents and danceable rhythms blend in purposeful unison, and it is with the doha ep that arjuna will join wir. he has appeared on gem records, manual music, traum, and trapez, with original eps, and has recently graced a number of labels with remixes, leaving his signature on each ep. his production output is impressive, and like most greats, his sound continues to grow and develop with each studio session. arjuna resides in amsterdam, where he has developed a distinct and solid sound, and a loyal fan base. he performs live close to every weekend all over holland. we invited arjuna to come and perform as the special guest at our treibstoff 14.5 year anniversary party for his first ever performance on german soil. his set was received with smiling faces and hands in the air, coming from the brimming dance floor of colognes gewölbe, a warm welcome to say the least. we had the pleasure of spending some time together after the event, and his character is just like his music. he is a cheerful and passionate person with a bright sense of humor and we are elated to welcome him to wir. keep your ears open, for there is more to come..

a couple of months after the release of sweet nothings, dapayk & padberg are once again treating the vinyl-heads amongst us to a 12? consisting of a sunny selection of the albums core material, just in time for spring. kicking off the a-side, berlin summer nights is nothing short of an anthem: classic rave sounds of epic proportions glide through an arrangement of bouncy beats, crisp percussive work and hopeful vocals until a powerful breakdown delivers the hands-in-the-air moment. this year, summer has come early. next up, the sun came up bedazzles with a pumping beat and robotic vocals, while a progressive synth lead helps along the track’s love lyrics, turning this into a truly stunning musical moment, which already proved its power at sweet nothings’ heart. on the flip, dapayk & padberg present the albums opener, the trippy too lazy. here, were dealing with a rather brooding afterhours number that is equal parts paranoid and mesmerising as a wonky bass vibrates under dubbed out pads, eerie synths and vocal whispers. the perfect antidote to the cheery a-side!

the time has come that berlin based techno producer and dj frank muller launch his new label mad musician. these days it requires some kind of madness to devote your live to music. but we are not mad entirely, we are the geeks, the gear nerds, the outcasted studio freaks who just heard about daylight. following a string of eps and remixes as his alter ego beroshima, the launch of his new label as frank muller was long overdue to focus on the new platform. it continues to break the stylistic frame defined by the market and yet manages to surpass the expectations set by these skilfully crafted productions. mad musician defy genre boundaries and incorporate a wide range of sonic colours. merging detroit influenced berlin techno with any kind of genre. exploring the electronic galaxy to invite other true musicians to join the mission and to cooperate, remix and to release the stuff we like. the first invited mad musician is none less than lord kirk degiorgio who recently released some awesome stuff on rush hour and planet e.are u mad enough?

record store day is synonymous with exclusive and limited releases and this year is no different. featuring a collaboration ep with adrianyounge from venice dawn and black dynamite fame and adrian quesada from the echocentrics, ocote soul sounds, brownout and grammy-winning grupo fantasma. a first name is not all adrian younge and adrian quesada share, they also both have an equal love of the psychedelic, the cinematic and at the root of it all, soul music. so it was inevitable that a collaboration would eventually come to fruition. mutual admirers of each others work, they first met at the sxsw music festival while on the same bill. both began their production careers on mpc and taught themselves various instruments to further capture the symphonies heard in their heads. fresh off his current solo project something about april under the moniker venice dawn, adrian younge found time to create all new tracks with adrian quesada who just released his echoland tribute to timbaland with the echocentrics. although both are distinct artists in their own right, they are cut from the same cloth with a signature sound thats equal parts morricone, early portishead, wu-tang and 60s psychedelic cinema soundtracks. their combined efforts on this ep guarantees a double dose of the sound we have come to expect from these talented individuals.

es klingt wie ein verwegenes abenteuer. sergio mendoza, bisher als tourmusiker bei devotchka und calexico unterwegs, entschließt sich vor drei jahren eine mambo-band aus dem boden zu stampfen. er nennt sie sergio mendoza y la orkesta - und ja, 15 musiker sind in der tat so etwas wie ein kleines orchester. sergio mendoza y la orkesta klingen wie eine big-band mit punk-attitüde
