whilst some people claim that the number seven is lucky, some people, like duff, dont believe in luck, or if there is such a thing as luck you make your own. you cant rely on anyone else to hold your hand you know, you gotsta forge your own path, they arent called the mean streets for nothing. duff is the sort of man who not only makes his own luck (cos who else is gonna look after you?) but he keeps an eye on his bredren too. those in the neighbourhood feel safe because all is good in duffs hood, always has been, always will be, the police dont even come there, because they don’t have to, that block is on lock-down brother. though he isnt some type of machismo, over-the-top (hat back go-on sly) caricature, its just the way it is, nuthin to argue about. he has a way about him, the glare of a pitbull and the smile of don juan, dusty is his girl yep thats her real name, the name her mamma gave her on the day she was introduced to this world. the girl is fine thats for sure but what else would you expect from the honey that rides shotgun with the sonic casanova. she might call herself lucky. duff would disagree.

repress 2015 ! umami who claim to make songs not tracks come up with their first solo ep. after collaborations with aka aka and niconé and their latest remix on shaker plates they hoist sails and push their style one stop forward with >conquer the night< on a1. thats >all what you get< (a2) from umami: driving, funny but still eclectic tech house in a fresh sounding garment. the ageless synth line of >sunshine and godzilla< (b1) will drive the crowd crazy for sure and with >kukukuku< on b2 they proove that finnish lullabies also work on the dance floor. this surely tastes a lot like umami

in the last couple of months the names taiki & nulight should have come across your paths. these 2 artists have been gaining respect from the likes of skream, benga, n-type, mistajam (and many more) and are set to blow up any time now. and because subway likes their beats fresh and new they are kicking off with these boys their very first release entitled the coming up ep. coming up is a 100 procent to the floor slammer wich sees the dubstep sound merging into more clubby territories. the 4x4 beat and soca influences make this track a unique piece of work that not alot of people can resist. get on this and get those ladies shaking their rear ends because once they start a skanking the men will follow. pure takes it back to the dubstep vibe we all know and love. a hefty skanker that will deplete any raver from any energy it has left. tearout basslines and insane switches make this one track that will destroy any dance! impulse is one of t&ns early productions but is not a letter track for that matter.its a mean destructive stomper that shows why these guys have been picked so early on by the subway label. it pounds,it shakes, it rattles & it wobbles. a deadly combination!watch out for more t&n releases coming up really soon on subway and labels like benga beats, sin city to name a few! play support comes from: skream, benga, n-type, walsh, mistajam, antiserum, unitz, dream, laxx, megalodon & tonnes of others!

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.

diynamic virtuoso stimming returns with a classic three-tracker, showcasing his skill and everlasting talent to surprise. again and again he reveals that his name stands for quality and permanent transubstantiation. the opener, windowshopping, is a catchy, floating and harmonic groover introducing the springtime, slightly transporting its warm breeze directly onto your skin. epic moog-stabs,string-hits, shuffled shakers and electric vocals are telling the story about of a stranger whos walking around a city-center during nighttime. on b1 stimming comes along with an old and firm friend. south african lazarusman, wellknown from stimmings funk with me or chang , again demonstrates his unique talent to deal with words, explaining that its not stimming but every listener himself which makes the song come alive. november morning is the slowest track stimming ever released so far. its name is program. weird violin-sounds, organic percussions and everlasting groove create a grey and moody vibe absorbing the listener.

wax classic is a brand new skylax sub – label. for this 3rd release, we give you the opportunity to grab 5 fantastic trax done by housemaster : jason grove.born in detroit, he started his career in the late 80s, dj-ing in underground parties when the techno house movement was just at the beginning. he was invited few times on detroit local stations such as wdrq & wjlb to play. some said he was at that time very close to the >wizard<, helping producing their first tracks with anthony srock as final cut. he had many opportunities during the 90s to release some of his work on various prestigious labels, however, as the guy is really hardcore & straight edge, he prefered to continue producing only with analog gears (dont ever speak to him about a computer or he?ll get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). after the incredible release we had on wax classic 1 (another skylax sub – label), you can grab finally the 2 nd part of those legendary tapes.

hotflush presents the return of sigha with a new ep entitled >abstractions i-iv<, his sixth on the label. on this release he reaches into darker territory, beginning with a beatless, ambient suspension, drawing the listener in his submerged sonic sphere before dropping into a series of chilling compositions that seem to seethe and smolder at sub-zero temperatures, adorned with haunting electronic blips and synthetic machinations throughout. having already gathered support from many figures in the electronic world over the last year including marcel dettmann, brendon moeller and francois k, as well as making appearances on scubas recent dj-kicks mix compilation with >where i come to forget< amongst others, james shaw continues to make his mark with >abstractions<.

dan ghenacia, the force behind the inaugural label of parisian house talent freak n chic, returns alongside his closest allies dyed soundorom and shonky to launch their new imprint – apollonia. sharing the same roots, the same tastes and the same musical vision, apollonia was a natural, if not inevitable progression for the three friends.well mainly focus on releasing our own music, but of course we are also really open-minded to sign any producers we all enjoy, says dyed.the label will serve as a platform for the trio&#8223,,,,,s productions, representing new beginnings based on a solid family that have already done much to shape the underground house scene, in paris and beyond. if the former era was a learning curve for all three, in both the music and business sense, one has high expectations for the quality of production on apollonia to come !shonkys ep the minneapolis touch will mark the first release for the label. forthcoming in february 2012, it features three tracks of strong house grooves, hynoptic melodies and hushed vocals for his signature sultry sound.

mercury are on fire! their second e.p. is still hot in the boxes of djs like brodinski, deetron, round table knights, phonique and pedro winter. and they already come with a third one. they asked one of their favorite singers in house music to join them and the result is more than just a burner. mercury & robert owens >candlelight< is a deep burner that wont leave your head. its a super futuristic slow house jam with a tricky, unexpected beat and a harmonic change that makes you... lets say: cool down? remix ep and more tracks coming up soon. mercury currently cant miss. they are rollin...

the name dachshund is one immediately associated with experimantation, an innate feeling for ryhthm and good dose of tongue and cheek. the swiss dj, producer and label founder can scarcely hide his musical roots in reggae. the sunshine feeling from those days still shines through in his current productions and gives them a touch of dub. his latest ep for highgrade records is no different. this leads to the first track >extensive talk< with its reduced beginning sounding something like a false start. gloomy voices implore us to >come, sit down, forever<.this delusion establishes itself in a musical theatre, while simultaneously becomming more pressing as the track winds its way into the legs – moving inexorably towards the second groovy track, >asymmentric love<, with its sprinkle of varied and original sound ideas. the final offering, >octogone< goes even further and weaves original loops and straight edged percussion into a compelling carpet of sound.

we are happy to have oscar barila & maiki on board ! they already showed their skills with great releases for plastic city, kling klong, parquet, deich and many more. for beatwax they produced 2 huge house monsters which come acompinied with great remixes by the new uprising aldo cadiz (desolat, viva, off) and demian muller & andre butano

in advance of the release of dapayk & padbergs third full-length sweet nothings - this time round on stil vor talent - the experienced duo are teasing us with the fluffy cloud ep, which showcases three of the album’s many diverse highlights, while keeping the vinyl lovers happy. the a-side bears the lps title track >sweet nothings<, on which dapayk & padberg’s sound takes a turn as they come knocking with a deep but forceful groover, whose distorted high-hats and trancey synth stabs create a vibe both euphoric and weirdly subdued. the lyrics, moreover, emphasise the duality at the core of many dapayk & padberg tracks as the latter ponders ‘you’re good for me - you’re bad for me’. showing another of the duo’s many facets, ‘backyard’ enchants thanks to mystical lyrics sung beautifully over a deep quasi-dubstep structure. marking the ep’s mid-point, the atmospheric song shines through intricately crafted fragility and is the perfect contrast to the previous and following track, while leaving a strong desire for more stuck in the listener’s mind. on the b-side, ‘fluffy clouds’ does quite the opposite to what its title suggests - rather than being a soft little piece, we are treated to big-room techno fodder à la berghain. a skeletal framework of heavy kicks, dark pads, white noise and dense metallics works relentlessly underneath a cold spoken word, proclaiming >not human, not animal - just a body in motion<. machine funk par excellence.

its been nearly four years since marc romboys last appearance on ovum, alongside tyree cooper on the mighty lost. today sees a return for the german as he teams up with another of the labels new breed, kink. bulgarian strahil velchev makes a return to ovum for the first time since his 2010 rachel ep shot him onto the scene. the success of that release and his array of productions since, have lead to kink becoming one of the most in demand producers of today. equally in demand is mr romboy, with 2011 being yet another year of success. his and stephan bodzins luna album kicked off the year in style and saw the pair embark on a huge global tour. singles and remixes for tronic, bedrock and 8bit have followed as well as productions with blake baxter and paris the black fu. marc has also surprised many, with his superb current house rework of terrence parker. the sampletastics vol. 1 ep sees the pair turn in three choice cuts of, as the name suggests, sample-lead house. a perfect selection of tools for the most discerning of djs. take your pick!

after some time spent entertaining from distant lands, the circus company brings it all back home with a release purposefully written to pay tribute to the breeding ground for their unique strain of house music, paris. seuil stands proud as one of her most cherished creations, a man ever evolving as an artist from the structure and function of minimalist dancefloor music through to the esoteric expression and ambience of jazz, channelling that same swinging spirit that has characterised much of the work on circus company. the release of his -chamaeleonidae- album proved to the world that there was a strange musical spirit in seuil that manifested itself in live drums and languid keys, character traits you could associate with his fellow parisians dop. the collaborations between them have been many in recent years, and once again they come together to both complement and test each others styles in a surprising vision of what pop music could sound like if crafted with soul and imagination. the beats stay tight and steady throughout the three tracks that make up -fluctuat nec mergitur-, driving a foggy brew of strings, synths and drones into a commanding groove. meanwhile the composition gently rises and falls on waves of melody, as particular harmonies swell in to carry you away to a very blue kind of euphoria. such drama and passion captures the essence of both seuil and his beloved city in one heady brew of dancefloor excellence.

chuckie in recent years has achieved success after success with ever increasing tour schedules and also becoming a member of the ever evolving in new djs we trust line up on bbc radio 1. this is the follow up to chuckies let the bass kick ft. lmfao, and is a sign of bigger things to come for chuckie.

this one is with morgan phalen, from a band called diamond nights that we love but went unnoticed 6/7 years ago. he lives in los angeles and we had him come over to paris to record. we wrote the lyrics with him and tried, as always, not to sound too stupid, avoiding clichés like come to the dancefoor, but without pretending to be bob dylan either. our lyrics are always a bit quirky. if they sound good and theres a little edge or something fun to them, were happy.

with two massive reissues from suns of arqa and jaki whitren under their belts, the fledging label emotional rescue have come up with the goods once again, with this remastered reissue of incredibly rare 70s psyche-funk from bob chance. two versions are included: the original 7 inch version, driven along by a razor-sharp guitar riff and sweetly lamenting lyrics, topped off with weird cosmic synths and galloping rhythm. however, the real gem is the edit entitled >wild its broken< which sharpens the focus of the guitar and adds some serious kick to the drums to create a beefy counterpart to the new age original.

london-based deep house label ornate music come through with another gem in the shape of the latest ep from dubbyman, filled with robust, beatdown grooves. the ep opens with >time & sensibility<, creating an all-enveloping atmosphere with its oven-warm pads and rich analogue bass, punctuated with jazzy chords and vocal murmurings. >kirigi is coming<, meanwhile, showcases dubbymans excellent knack for crafting moodymann style textures with the depth to boot, combining a solid rhythmic snap with drawn out vocal landscapes and detroit-referencing melodies. finally >uuuuhhhh!!!!< closes the ep with its breathy intro and low slung filtered grooves combining with bubbling laser sound effect

chasing voices returns for its 4th installment with an audacious reiteration of the projects uncompromising ethos and technique. >valley of the dry bones< operates on the peripheries of club music and far-sighted rock mutation, death march-disco for the ever-present sunburn of daily scourges and musical apathy. prospering from plentiful sentimentally-tinged stabs and a breathtaking, slow-churning progressive disintegration, >valley of the dry bones< hits intuitively and suddenly, a bent and bruised anthem for problematic times. despair can be celebrated, and celebration can be despairing—if anything the nyc collectives latest bomb seems to stem from a need to revive the cannibalism of a movement that has grown weary of its own cliches, to dissect itself and hopefully come out the other end better and new?? albeit scarred and never quite the same.

its now the turn of shapednoise for features series, and to complete this ep made of pure adrenaline theres the remix of the well known dino sabatini (outis music,sonic groove, prologue). shapednoise, one of the youngest and most promising artists of the techno scene, is based in berlin, fully living the repitch recordings project. his musical background is really wide, and you can notice it listening to his productions, a futuristic vision of the sound, with industrial elements and synthesizers characterizing his sonority. the second act of the series starts with white light white head: an out of ordinary track, an unusual beat, techno futuristic, that flows into a neo-industrial sound, with soundscapes that make it mental, but at the same time a post-apocalyptic dancefloor hit. dino sabatinis version hypnotizes us, manipulates shapednoises sounds las only he can do, with his incomparable personality, rhythmics and drone evolving until the end of a trip to the edge of reality. cosmic landscapes (the tiltle already tells a lot), is a track with very powerful rhythmics, for the lovers of straight-techno. shapednoise, an artist to absolutely keep an eyes on this year. also this time the artwork of pasquale ascione makes its part: surreal, unique, making you wondering where this faces come from, maybe from our dreams.features series is a whole of musicalities where images and imaginary interpenetrate. supported and played by norman nodge, perc, samuli kemppi, jonas kopp, marcel dettmann, adam x, tommy four seven, lucy, dvs1, pfirter and many others!

already causing a stir on promo, dark arts 01 comprises 4 tracks of deeply arresting dancefloor music. mid blue is a soundtrack for the darkest corner of the warehouse. the square bass grabs you from the first bar and combines with cosmic sweeps to drag you down deep before the toms come in to add that all-important funk factor. broken space is a beautifully playful track. the stuttering beat, organic percussion and melodic touches merge with the darkest of strings to create a sound rooted in classic electronica but belonging firmly in the present. restraint is a burst of heavyweight electroid futurism – rock-solid beats and alien sounds from god-knows which galaxy combine with a razor-sharp cymbal attack. handle with care. proper deep detroit business – a quote from just one of techno’s most well-respected producers.red_dust2 is a huge, rolling tech-house rhythm, mixing the warmth of the motor city with the cold machine funk found this side of the pond. pure, timeless and custom-built for the dancefloor. mastered by one of the most well respected engineers in techno and pressed in one of europe’s finest pressing plants, dark arts 01 is limited to 250 hand stamped, clear vinyl copies.
