art reform– being newly invented, this expression has already come in view of the people who arent indifferent to electronic music.
sure thing, as the labels releasing vinyl in ukraine can be easily counted on the fingers of one hand. most of them have already fallen into oblivion having yielded to economic realia, but for art reform records it is just the beginning.
the evidence to which is the release from the main project ideologist, kiev resident joss. well-known for his devotion to vinyl and club rhythms joss has fully embodied himself in his debut plate artreform.

leskin, massimo di lena, joseph russel and rio padice (aka the early sound collective) deliver four outstanding deep & raw house/techno cuts. of course, shitloads of records come out these days that fit the deep & raw house description, but this stuff just goes beyond. without falling back into cliche, their characteristic use of analog equipment takes you right back into the early days of hypnotic, raw & soulful machine music competing with the detroit/chicago cats from back in the day.

relentless straight forward old school acid tunes from dresden, germany... for those who remember beverly hills 808303 or early acid planet releases ... that type of masculine and tough tracks. raw, analogue no mercy kind of music! first come first serve!

there are those records you like working on and then there are those records you love working on... this is one of those records we loved! we could not be more excited to welcome back to the camp, the beautiful, amazingly talented tamara wellons. along side her again on this journey at the helm is one of our favorite producers anto vitale that co writes and produces this project. the first time we laid ears on this single we knew what was in store for it, time to bring in the gang to put everyone to work and that we just did for this one. on the remix duties is the man in charge of the soulful movement dj spinna that gives us his signature deep vibes. if that was not enough we welcome back jose carretas that just murders his remix with just enough bounce for the clubs but keeps true to the deep house movement.next up is our good friend jonny montana that never strays from the true elements of deep house and gives us a mix that will be played for years to come with his timeless production. as we always say sit back relax and play this one loud!

you know a producer has got something when the first note of the first track you hear makes you sit up and take notice. so it is with 19-year-old east londoner joss ryan: the instant the jabbing orchestral motif at the beginning of >melancholy dreams< – the title track of his debut ep – kicks in, it hits your emotional centres hard and lodges in your memory. as statements of intent go, its a pretty tasty one, and tells you that this is a talent who can stand out and make an impact way beyond the ins and outs of the micro-genres and endlessly reconfiguring trends of underground music.to put it simply: joss is a grime kid who expanded his horizons. his popular mix of his own material for mary anne hobbss radio show last december already shows that the three tracks on this ep are by no means a fluke, and there is a whole lot more to come besides…

(10inch vinyl) after the overwhelming reactions on the duo tone ep - their debut together for music man - it won t come as a surprise that petar dundov and gregor tresher got back in the studio together for more.

tip! with something soul beatamines and david jach come up with a riff that will kick massive ass! how never will definitely be perfect for the open air season this summer and instantly puts a smile on the faces on the dancefloor. zoo brazil from sweden transforms the track to the perfect prime time track that will be catching a lot of attention. gordian gleiss gives us his own deep house interpretation of this track.

join the dots reaches its dirty dozen in the form of leeds based noiseniks death on the balcony. after a year of rather big releases, hanging out with wolf & lamb, soul clap and other assorted cool cats and playing a hectic schedule of gigs across the world that literally saw fans throwing themselves (from a ruddy great height apparently) at our boys they now contribute dot012 to the jtds family. whilst being described as everything from disco, house, deep techno and any number of other pointless monikers (these are just their own descriptions we should add), death on the balcony have you could say come home to roost. think of us as their crash mat, their safety harness, their bungee cord. we are going to look after them whilst they just sit back and admire the view.

so disco cakes is back with yet another chart topper. this time the dancefloor outlaws do battle with label bosses defkline & red polo. so what happens when the kings of booty breaks take on the might of the outlaws? well you get an ep of epic proportions. its packed with both there styles, the booty shacking bass and hooky vocals you have come to expect from defkline & red polo matched up against the crowd pleasing disco esq funk you have come to expect from the dancefloor outlaws. they are 4 cuts that will sit in your bag and be weapons in your artillery for a long time to come. available in both vinyl and digital these bombs will shake the dance and work the crowd in true cakes fashion.

fat! supported by: dirty doering, david labeij, brothers vibe, dave seaman, jackspot, lula circus, paul oakenfold, doomwork, yokoo and many more. agora audio, the berlin based label owned by dj/producer erich bogatzky launched at the beginning of this year with a superb single from lula circus. now the imprint turns to germany producer carsten rausch for the labels second offering, the superb >somewhere in between<. this is only the second release from agora audio but it is clear the imprint are one to watch in the months to come.

the next chapter in truesouls evolving story comes from marc antona. with discography highlights that include releases for mobilee, highgrade, micro-fibers and, most recently, his own dissonant label, antona is an already familiar name to followers of quality techhouse and the deeper, groovier side of techno. impressive career credentials that have been galvanized by marcs appearances for cadenza as part of their vagabundos tours. with such experience behind the ibiza-based producer, it comes as no surprise that this ep brings the kind of sunshine sensuality to truesoul that has come to characterize the soundtrack of dance musics mecca with the sultry percussion and understated funk of >gloves off< or the perpetual bass groove and twitching rhythm of >darwins corner stone<.

2012 is the time for john lord fonda to come back to the light, starting with a huge techno ep >bang the fire!<, including two original tracks bang and >heaven s on fire< both with a minimal techno imprint. this new release is the first extract from his forthcoming album, scheduled for 2012.
>bang< open the tracklisting, a classic john lord fonda track, energetic like always as even if he takes time, he drives us in the end in huge orgasmic breaks, quite intensive…,. then we continue with a kazyo (from teenage bad girl) remix that delivers a dancefloor epileptic killer version. electric rescue is fascinated by the energy of techno music, so he did a very minimal but powerful version.

nice price deal !!! canyons release the new single when i see you again on that black gold known as vinyl. yeah yeah yeahs nick zinner gets on the remix along with morgan geist & an alternate version of the track come with this, get it & swim with it.

this latest 12 comes courtesy of phil mison & pete herberts much lauded reverso 68 project. baa boo is exactly the kind of blissfully dreamy groove we have come to expect from this accomplished production duo, musical, melodic and tailormade for sunnier climes. on the flip we have piano 89, pretty self explanatory really, but for the benefit of those not pushing 40, its an old school house jam, drenched in the kind of italo piano hook that used to ignite late 80s dancefloors and is destined to do the same some 20 years on - magical.

souvenir is proud to present its 44th ep from a duo of frankfurts favourite sons, chris wood and carsten meat schuchmann. both chris and carsten have come up through frankfurts music scene, chris with his long time residency at the infamous monza club and carsten having started the citys premier record shop freebase, still going strong 18years later. trained as a studio engineer, chris cut his chops under the wise wings of pascal feos and joinedforces with meat, who held residencies at cocoon and robert johnson. last year they dropped the mighty triple s on souvenir, which destroyed dance floors as far afield as sao paolo to ibiza.

the magic of classic house music has always lain in the way it finds a soul in the machine, eking warm organic sounds from cold circuitry. and tracks dont come much warmer or more organic than >oranges<, a glorious eight-minute slow-burner thats the second single from wolverhampton producer mark es 2011 release stone breaker. >oranges< is a track that demonstrates how the simplest of ingredients — a quietly insistent four-to-the-floor rhythm, an understated bassline, synth pads that sound like the first intimations of a balearic sunrise — can combine to create something remarkable. anyone who has got the cd/digital release of stone breaker, of course, will know this already — but this release is the first chance to own this track on vinyl, as it was absent from the albums lp release. on the flipside is a remix of >oranges< by mark e himself: the appropriately-named space dub, a lindstrøm-esque reworking that transports the track from the dance floor to some distant orbit, drifting through space on a wash of lambent fuzz-toned synths. as different as they are, both tracks share a sense of both space and intimacy, a mellow charm that is evocative and inclusive. a soul in the machine.

black 12 + white 7 inch pack - an epic journey into the deeper shadows of winter. echo 106 come from brunnen, the innermost part of switzerland, secrets are whispered, and eyes look at you through the windows. silly limited as usual ... 200 only!
this ep will take you there, where snow conceals, nightfall comes early and unwelcome visitants hunt you. 6 songs, not just tracks, that are a perfect soundtrack to your innermost toughts. lux rec had compiled this selection out of several tracks, new and from the archives, and delivers again some damn fine music. follow the rabbit.

the two monkey guys are very happy to present their first longplayer. after a successful year 2011 and a massive output they want to show the world whats also going on in their mind. happy body music is not only for the dancefloor. of course youll find some techy, housy floorkillers on the lp but also tracks from the deeper techno side and a little sorted stuff from the monkey roots... hip hop and big beat! so please come in, lean back, take a coffee and have a listen to the colourful monkeyworld

label boss nic fanciulli makes his first appearance on the label for 2012 and presents a strong package which consists of 2 of his biggest remixes in recent years. first up on the a side is his take on radio slaves classic, >grindhouse<. the mix has been highlight of nics sets for the past 6 months and is a sure thing to be rocking many parties in the summer months to come. up on the b side is his remix of loco dices >definition< which also gets a release after a long and successful spell on the underground.
available on limited transparent vinyl.

next up on frustrated funks limited vinyl series is italian producer and visual artist federico leocata. this young producers sound aesthetics can easily be compared with dataphysix style of production with its snappy, minimal and dark characteristics (who knows what their real connection might be). but when looking a bit further federico manages to create a world of its own where unpleasant, obscure and sinister sounding tracks bring you in a dark imaginary world of ropes, burning leather and foggy torture chambers. this is the second ff release in this series of limited hand numbered and hand stamped colored vinyl 12s.first come first serve.

this detroit born producer drops this single on his hypertone imprint with grinding percussion and detuned vocals wrapped in reverb. special case from culprit & souvenir delivers a hot & dirty vibe with slick pads & crackin drums. synths and pounding rhythms come through on the tripmastaz mix. pressed on white vinyl.

our new release has a particular importance in the history of wicked bass, being incidentally both the latest and the first to appear on vinyl. the four-track record comes from our long-time favorite kc wunderkind, huerco s., who evidently grasps his inspiration from literally everywhere, be it uk hardcore, pitched down american vibes, or even modern art. scoring no jack ep with three original tracks and a remix by the us scenes fresh discovery, braille (who is coincidentally one half behind sepalcure), as his first physical release, huerco s. embarks on a far-lying journey with even more to come.
support from: neville watson, locked groove, throwing snow, hackman ...

youth invasion muzik launches their label with some down rite funk. yi muzik from the minds of a small club in ibiza? negru is a monster,at least thats what ciudovishte translates to. this ep is no different. monster techhouse missiles& rooted grooves with the yi muzik vibe. more to come.

positioned as lesser-known little brother to adam beyers globally renowned drumcode brand, truesoul has to varying extent existed in the shadows since its conception in 2002. never designed to be a label that you could set your watch by, releases have come sporadically over the past nine years,albeit when they have come they have always made an impact.

hot off the heels of william medagli s amazing debut, sleazys deepness continues to ooze disco funk straight from the underground. here we have a futuristic look into the minds of sasch bbc & caspar two artists in their own right from the rhein-main-area of germany. teaming up was clearly a clever decision as supersonic delivers what we hope you would of come to love about sleazy deep by now, just that - its all in our name.

the new ep from memoria comes from fast-rising romanian producer vid whose previous outings have come on labels including fear of flying and barraca music. vid (vidum) aka sorin rastoaca is a producer obsessed with nature and organic sounds. his latest release >rebirth<, is stripped but not light on feeling, and mines a vein somewhere between deep house and minimal techno. etime is a fluttery, eerie cut that works on many subtle layers. like the feathery minimal percussion of villalobos, the romanians sounds present like flapping butterfly wings as a kick drum punches out a varied pattern below. poem is a little louder and bolder, with a firm rolling kick drum and drunken, wubby sounds running right through its core. plenty of sonic details flesh out the languorous but slightly tribal groove. rebirth is again about little tiny details and how they evolve with time, but the framework they inhabit this time is deep, late-night house with gentle tinkles on keys coming over like a fluttering candle in the dark. 3729 gets its head down and mines a shifty, itching and tight minimal groove, closing out an ep which shows vid to be a master of working minimum sounds into maximum effects.

former knob-twiddler with the hardcore band the rise, alongside cory kilduff, who both later went on to form ocelot, an electro-pop band that was signed to mark joness wall of sound ...
james welsh has had quite a career already it seems! in between his bmxing holidays, touring the world and slaying festivals, he has found the time to come up with some excessively heavy house music ...

eduardo de la calle releases three new records, two on analog solutions, and one on sub label suprawax. musically, the tracks tie in with where he left of, featuring held back percussion, hypnotic and prolonged use of slowly modulated patterns. several tracks even do away completely with hi-hats. once in a while the almost trademark tweak of the delay tears the tracks open that are otherwise reduced to the essence of a deep groove. these records mark a new high point in de la calles musical output: they meld an awareness of techno history - and, let us be candid, sometimes samples out of it - with a tripped-out understanding for the passing time on the dance floor. the result is a form of distinctly contemporary dance music. all the same, de la call’s music eludes present day trends of going overtly retro and being contently at rest in nothing but epigonism. nor are they the maximised-to-death tracks spun of the present day techno functionalist goading crowds by the means of formalistic upbuilds over and over. his sound carves out a niche quite its own: its the ultimate modern day dj tool. all records have been pressed in a run of 320 copies and come in inside-out natural cardboard sleeves. no represses are planned at present.

originally recorded for chris blackwell of island records the rights of ‘life of contradiction’ were then given to joe higgs who released the album in jamaica and the u.k. in 1975. it was immediately obvious that this was a unique collection coming from a completely different direction to the other reggae releases of the period. although joe had first recorded some of the songs in the early sixties for studio one it was as if he was at last able to realise a vision of his own music that had previously been denied to him: either by financial constraints or from not having the right situation with the right musicians.

scratcha dva has come up with probably the finest match between album title and music in the history of the universe. >pretty ugly< is what it is - sweet and sour, blaring and lush, rough and smooth. the man is a genius.

forthcoming on dench recordings, release 001 will come from the studio of pusherman.

a symbiosis of two perfectionists who would like to surprise with something new and got lost in the deep widenesses of techno. now, zdenko grbavac and morgenklang let it come true and release their first record in common. the two tracks are technoid, impulsive and surprising at the same time. >epos< comes out on top at the middle distinctivly. the tracks baseline is remindful of the early 80s synth-pop and sounds in combination with the remaining parts like an unstoppable train. the track >novum< is a monster of chord and pushes relentlessly. however the athmosphere creates a certain easiness and moves the audience in a dreamy state.

after years of absence on the music scene, international techno superstar cj bolland returns with a big track that takes him back to his nineties origins, reminiscent of the camargue glorydays. now ready to storm the dance music world once again, this is a taste of whats to come from the heart & soul of the techno mastermind.chicago obviously refers to the city of house, back when house was house, with funky organs, a variety of beats and the most beautiful strings. on the remix we get a deep workout from voltron, a melancholic future garage stepper from title, and a nasty dubstep delivery from syndaesia.

following the stunning album that (finally) surfaced on tirk records last year, seventeen-piece live disco band escort arrive on sister label nang via red music by popular demand with two of the most prevalent cuts from the album, cameleon chameleon & starlight, remixed by anglo-japanese powerhouse max essa, and red records label boss and ilija rudman. ilijas cut of cameleon chameleon is as funky as they come, enveloping strains of the originalin his silken synth work and driving dance-floor percussion. edits of adeline micheles vocal hook are teased in throughout, beautifully done but never deriving from the fact that this is strict dancefloor stuff. next up, max essa delivers a stomping rendition of long time favourite, starlight. his cut stays true to the original, retaining vibe, funk and feeling, but giving it that subtle injection of house that is just made for peak time at the dance. if you like your disco live, the escort collective has a couple of uk dates penned in for march / april 2012, so keep em peeled!

little is know about new artist wbbl, some say he was brought up on a diet of misunderstood folk music and balearic basslines, others say he is the first true star to come out of ghetto funk scene.

part one of session victims haunted house of house sampler is already going down an absolute storm with the likes of dop, james teej, catz n dogz and tornado wallace declaring it >superb<, >inspiring<, >fantastic<, and bloody ripping, respectively. nows the time for part two containing four more cuts of the good stuff and by now you know what we are talking about here, deep, sample-heavy, rough around the edges but smooth in all the right places. basically good oldfashioned instrumental moods and grooves which will appeal equally to those old enough to remember the golden era of pork recordings as it will to the hip young vinyl heads with a nose for anything disco. enjoy, support and keep them peeled for the final installment part three coming very soon

phil weeks with a slamming dj useful double 12 inch album

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!

next fresh fruits on the frucht label. here we go again with frucht 002 vinyl. once again labelheads coeter one and splatter picked some of their sweetest remixes. frucht stands for the young powerful generation of successful producers from all over the world. get fruity!

vinyl only release, limited to 200 copies!! as the twelfth release of all inn we represents a lawbreaker of modern techno music. coldfish also known as laurine frost, is a hungarian producer who always delivers unique and detailed music structures. now, after he spent two years with studioworks the time has come to return. his sound today is much more independent, futuristic and galactic than ever. >revelations< is an expedition into the dark space guided gently by percussive polyrhythmia, warm basslines and wide atmospheres. crossways of dub, techno and modern electronics in impressive conceptions.

dollys first release in 2012 and immediately setting a high standard for the year to come! this time aroy dee under his mos disguise is delivering the deepness, and this one could be very well one of his strongest releases to date. present as usual are his trademark vintage synths & drums, but this goes beyond the average retro chicago stuff. skillfull on the machines while its very clear the music comes from deep within. marcel fengler on remix duty adds a little techno punch, which perfectly tops of this very fine release.

(mdh + floris regoort + m.i.r.k.o. + klankarbeit) theres so much great new music and new talent around these days, that for his new hey! release, michel de hey took a few of these new skool kids under his wings. nice way for hey! to start 2012!

nice price deal !!! melodies and words are in faccinis bones and his finely crafted songs resonate with traces of his ancestry. if his songs were maps they would stretch from the english moors to the saharan dunes via the parched plains of the mediterrannean before spanning the atlantic ocean all the way to the mississippi delta. for piers, recording albums means surrounding himself with old friends, people he can talk music with, true accomplices, fellow souls who share a common vision. a soulful and expressive singer/songwriter whose music fuses folk, acoustic blues, and west african textures, piers faccini was born in england to anglo-italian parents, and moved with his family to france when he was five years old.
includes cd-version of the full album.

6 tracks of mind altering electro straight out of gothenburg.

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.

nice price deal !!! baby blue dolly-bird pimprinella told her daddy to come back. and we couldnt see her crying! so here we are with the 2nd marcel sterling single release on his imprint incl. 2 great remixes by stereo express (the belgium swing monsters!) and the columbian import of the year 2011 carlos obando and david figueroa. pimped by nic fanciulli, tube & berger, rene bourgeois, hanne & lore, hugo, super flu, mihalis safras, hermanez, wehbba, beatamines, daniel sanchez, paride saraceni, sami wentz and many more
