romulo del castillo and joshua kay are phoenecia and they emerge from their long march into the aural wilderness of miami with good man bones ep, five new sonic tapestries heavy with rhythm and rich in visual detail. screen print colors with hot green/brown vinyl. this mini lp serves up an offering of selections from the full-length demissions - both made available through a unique collaboration between detroit underground and schematic. limited press.

hiding behind their three character website is a belgian duo called goldffinch whose steep vision of dancefloor techno marries loveable little phrases of awkward computer conversation with the kind of kick drums that will rattle the windows of your neighbours house when your soundsystem is tweaked perfectly. goldffinch may well be a duo bent on keeping things simple but when the end result, which is built out of such minimal layers, is so arresting, there’s no need to change the formula. not one bit.

brandt brauer frick haben wieder zugeschlagen. im vergangenen jahr debütierte das deutsche trio mit dem album >you make me real<, einer fusion aus techno und klassik. doch tracks wie >bop<, ein reichhaltiges, polyrhythmisches gebilde, zeigen, dass es geht. nun haben daniel brandt, jan brauer und paul frick ihr genre-bildendes experiment mit ihrem ensemble auf ein neues level gehoben: die computer haben sie eingetauscht gegen eine zehnköpfige band, mit der sie handgemachte dance-grooves live spielen können. wie das klingt, haben sie in diesem jahr bereits bei der eurosonic conference in holland gezeigt, dann in coachella, beim festival glastonbury, sonar, north sea jazz und bestival! der neue, handgemachte klang wurde nun auf einem brandneuen album festgehalten.

the cryovac recordings label is kept alive by the efforts of a. garcia. the name is taken from a dirty and cranky device used to seal shrink wrap around records. in this way, cryovac works to preserve the time and space around its artists identities. who they are is translated into tone and vibration, which is captured onto vinyl by garcia himself. cryovac remains creative and searching to maintain a personal sound. kimyon huggins (metroplex) is a painter, musician, thinker and a lover of life. he pulls together concepts that inspire, and informally applies them to his funky sound. this sound has been crafted from a wondering nature and a deep respect for history. kimyon huggins is one of a few that continually break the mold.

for this first release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by legendary detroit producer : 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 hell get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). we heard this story long times ago & it was only when we were in l.a. last year at pooh-bah record shop that we finally managed to get our hands on one of those tapes (one from june 1991 & the other one done in october 1992) with some of the best & incredible music we ve heard in years, it sounded like kerri chandler before kerri chandler did even start to release any tracks ! those first tapes are finally available after a hiatus of more than 15 years on vynil only (!)

selected advent deal - from the mind of erik! dropping the dopest tunes since 1987, erik is back on the radar in 2011 with these 4 brand new tunes! this gets every detroit party started and if you are not to stiff in the hips you will be shaking your ass on these crazy tunes. pumping 808, erik on the mic, silly ass beats, funky basslines... no hype break downs, no magic computer tricks... just solid rocking tracks the new old school way. what else do we need? all you got to do is turn it up!

love it or leave it. stl has done it again. another four tracker of raw electronic beats and mind rumbling grooves. jacking house tracks composed on analog hardware, executed without any static computer arrangements, to keep the true spirit and feeling of each session alive. these sounds are like mad colourful old school gaming, taking the listener on adventures to head, feet and soul in all it s full maniac beauty. number 17 of the something vinyl series is another lovely manifest of an artist mind picture which is not easy to categorysize. surely it won t fit in any style and ear, but those who are already sold to stl s lo-fi kind of sounds will get another dope piece of vinyl in order to make them dance and listen. sweet transmissions from a universe dominated by sound. pressed on a handsome 12inch in very limited quantities !

after a handful of smashing remixes and compilation features on nang records, lusty zanzibar returns to the fold with a cracking solo effort named the >the feeling ep.< title track is a spaced out exercise in immersive square-wave programming, reminiscent of the pre-internet computer gaming age when colours were 8-bit and vivid, and soundtracks were hyper-colour opuses. the complex synth work is underpinned by a driving beat with ethereal vocal wisps and crystalline pads. nice. the first of three remixes for >the feeling< comes from ilya santana, with his >celestial version<, and celestial it is indeed! a picturesque scene is set, the rhythm is wound back and a super laid back vibe allows the vocal line >remember how you are feeling< to sit more purposefully in the mix, alongside the tip-toeing bass line and often euphoric chords. up next comes the max essa dub version, introducing some arp-synth subtleties, replacing the main vocal hook to great effect. to finish we have a mix from fear of theydon who brings a touch of arpeggiated femininity and tasteful woodblock percussion to the table. its a fulfilling yet sultry up-beat journey.

the kdms is a underground-supergroup. englands no.1 indie - disco diva kathy diamond (permanent vacation, eskimo, moodmusic) and maximilian skiba from londons rekids label (solo album coming up soon) teamed up to do a real band. the result are some very crisp, catchy but raw house tunes with a great pop appeal. kathys unique voice that combines soul-funk background with a very own timbre meets max’s way of contemporary electronic production. he does it like prince: playing all the guitars, drums, bass and keyboards alone. and then reworking it on the computer. check the amazing morgan geist remix!

as music lovers we draw the greatest inspiration and pleasure when hearing compositions that tell a good story. bon voyage is one such example. rising from the ashes of the highly sought after les aeroplanes whose >impersonal naviguant ep< for mathematics was a sure-fire hit.
this vibrant parisian outfit has delved deep into a rich sonic landscape and evolved a musical score which is incomparable to most of todays computer generated music. bon voyage cross genres as musicians, they carve out the sweetest melodies and allow the nectar to flow with an assortment of italian strings, american filters and japanese oscillators.

recorded in late 2010 and mixed in a remote studio during the finnish snowstorms of early 2011, donky pitch present >the trick ep<, by helsinki resident and skweee pioneer v.c. six original tracks of synth soaked computer funk, electro inspired slow jams and colourful hip hop heaters. v.c. has been making moves in the skweee scene since the early days (as a solo artist and as 1/4 of supergroup yt). his combination of layered synths, hip hop beats and that type of funk only found in the cold reaches of the nordic region have scored him releases on every skweee label going (flogsta danshall / harmnia / mssy / ddpop / disques mazout) as well as ramp recordings. we felt it only right that he commanded our first true foray into the scandinavian electro funk sound of skweee.

nice price deal !!! after his epic full length album resonant escape on som, impakt returns with the six track vinyl version from this album. filled with 4 new tracks and 2 already resonant escape album tracks. fantastic journey through impakts own world.s

3rd km editions release by the mysterious keyboard masher.

the guy on the couch is the new project of andy rk and the infamous duo of the analogue cops. >golden lady< is a techno flavored house e.p. that will blast every dancefloor. it has been written, mixed and produced at the restoration headquarters with the use of any computer. the tracks has been premastered by the analogue cops in their raw and compromiseless way.
the short a side is so mighty that it has the power to stop time. the beats are tight and the influence of the artists of the second detroit wave is vivid.>the last word< is an evocative deep house track enriched by numerous samples of old crispy records. smooth and addicting, its a late night tune.>drei hunde< has a funky hypnotic groove that set off a wild pitch hook. just six minutes of danger.

with the sun out and festival season just around the corner, the 2 bears return with their biggest crowd pleasers yet on the bear hug ep out on southern fried. equipped for both barmy afternoons in blissed-out fields and after hours naughtiness in the darkest dance tents, the 2 bears set the seal on their trademark brand of house revisionism. opening up with take a look around, 2 bears take us from techy intro to full on house inclusivity inside seven minutes, with rafs understated vocals joined by star-to-be alice gold. then there is the bashy jump-up instrumental in my brain is like a computer, to set us up for an mc’d walk through of the 2 bears dancefloor doctrine, bear hug. as for the ep closer banger, the title speaks for itself – a tune that cuts deeper and harder than any 2 bears track so far

the lp offers a different flavor, continuing this celestial, heart-felt journey miles away on a foggy day. but don t get too morose as there is hope in the upbeat, breaks-driven last sunbeam. the tempo continues to build in everywhere i go before launching into the techy sounds of the heavily vocoded computer love. mc fava lends his talents on a plethora of tracks, including addicted and the title track, stay forever.

black vinyl , versalifes n.t.a. part 2 is taking us further down deep into the night! this is some of the at widest, cleanest, most absorbing electro, techno tracks we have heard in a while! especially the b-side tracks oozes twilight suave and atmosphere with its precise electro pulse and caressing midnight sounds. versalife is creating a setting with sounds radiating the midnight atmosphere that reflects the twin peak-esque life on a almost deserted windy dutch coastal island where the clouds rush through the dark night time skies projecting all variations of grey and black on the mystifying dunes. futuristic electro techno tracks with emotive synth work created with exploratory imagination.

a new 3-track 12 by canadas solvent, known for his melodic electro and vocoder pop releases on ghostly, morr music, and his own suction records. for minimalrome, solvent debuts a new approach, so please dont expect any sweet solvent melodies this time, in fact, dont expect any melodies at all. here solvent delivers 3 tracks of pure bunker/rephlex-style acid, monotonous and pounding. fasten is the most straight-up acid track present, nothing but 707/606 percussion + x0xb0x squelch. latch and secure are more dark, abstract, dirty. secure is epic madness, clocking in at over 16 minutes, at times slow and prodding, elsewhere growling furiously in sheets of distortion. every track has been edited down from hour+ long hardware studio jams, with the computer acting strictly as a multi-track audio recorder. solvents customized acid box, a heavily modified x0xb0x, features heavily on every track, alongside classic techno boxes like the 808, 101, and pro one. limited to 250 copie

the year is 2010. mechanisms industries re-emerges from the tape studio after a hiatus and reconfiguration in preparation for the new release entitled antikythera mechanism. the antikythera mechanism is an ancient mechanical computer designed to calculate astronomical positions. for our purposes, we have re-calibrated the antikythera mechanism to calculate and assist in the programming of three deep, dark rhythmic techno tracks.

videopacolypz is a side project coming from dutch jungle / breakcore / dubstep producers deformer. they are strong players amongst the progressive electronic music scene for years already and are about to release a new album and limited 7inch single entitled >videopacolypz g2012<. this release is based on the philips >videopac g7000< gameconsole that came out back in 1978. with the limited choice of sounds coming from this computer, a complete album was recorded that will tear up dance floors this year. beware though, this is not the official new deformer album, but a side project in a similar tradition: videopacolypz g2012...
the cd album and colored 7inch single (transparent and transparent blue) will come in one limited edition package of only 500 copies worldwide and will not be repressed!

finest electro from the diametric camp, limited to 306 handnumbered copies.

short about the label: a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we are gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it… im very glad to introduce yet another member to out internasjonal >family<. mathew senick aka mathew leutwyler. mathew got in touch through the web from mexico and it took us only a brief listen to this troika of wonderful sounds to convince us. now decide for yourself if theres something wrong with my ears….. ps: my computer tells me hes had releases out on perspectiv and traum, ill definitely investigate further, so should you

we again two flying something objects are located in the orbit, waiting for permission to land on your turntables and in the lay-by of your recordbag. this time with 13 pieces of stl deep shakin house madness, mindscratching lo-fi grooves, cranky energized synth activities, dope loops and sound effects. all pressed on a delicious double vinyl album with a limited printing of 500 covers! the music is all hardware based and sequenced. recorded in live sessions without any computer arrangements. surely the style is not for everyone and compared to others, probably seems a bit unconform, cat-headed or sometimes just different. but it s always true spiritual. an open minded artform with the sense for functionality. every track is talking to you in musical form without any barriers straight down to your feet and feeling. as in all something releases there is much sound personality and imagination inside, giving the listener a ticket to the fascinating world of beat orientated something music. get on board and enjoy the trip.

marco resmann has done it. the studio computer is purring again like a satisfied kitten and those dark technical storm clouds have passed by. to prove that a streak of technical bad luck which he has just gone through can sometimes enhance creativity he has come up with this little gem of a new single >drop outz<. on a1 we have >mal pas< (transl: difficult road) which is an ode to the suffering he went through with his computer. but dont worry, its just a name, the track itself is as light and sweet as the stuff that we love from marco. b1 is also little beauty, no dark clouds to be found here either, and b2, a cracker called >whats cracking< is the ultimate proof to anyone that the sun always shines at upon you. enjoy and always think happy thoughts friends

soys debut release comes in the form of >red<, a no nonsense straight up house track with stabby chords and relentless groove evident on the s2k rendition. on remix duty cinematic pulls in the now berlin based parisian alexkid whos career spans over a decade in techno and electronics, originally cutting his teeth alongside laurent garnier at f-comm. alex pulls out all the stabs on his remix with a stomping kick that further extentuiates that groove and forms that hybrid of house and techno with soul. completing the ep >computer moods< already burning floors is the hidden gem on this package seeing some great reactions from watergate, berlin to secretsundaze, london. a dirty bass heavy drum track that tears through any funktion one sound system!! one not to sleep on!

on this record are four finely-crafted weapons that boom like a howitzer and beguile like a drunken pirate’s cutlass. forged using an ages-old blend of modern computer technology and 1980s synthesisers, all are designed to cause maximum offence on the dancefloor.

3 jacking tech tracks der oberklasse - must have spezial decks tipp!

based in buenos aires, toomy disco (real name mariano iliuta) represents another success story in the rise of bedroom electronica in recent years. the full album and the tracks here on age of the jaguar ep were recorded entirely at marianos home with relatively basic computer software and, while he is still only 22 years old, the resulting music is every bit as compelling as contemporaneous efforts from like-minded electronic artists daft punk, mylo, mstrkrft, alan braxe and tensnake. age of the jaguar helps to cement toomys status as a leading light in the next generation.

the something vinyl series continues this time with seductive house tunes and deep moments for the dancefloor and places beyond. five tracks and four bonus loops makes this the next typical warm vibrating something record, you have probably already expected. as the title suggests, its not a perfect clean and faultless production. there is the dirt and a sound inhabitant, for what stl records are well known for. experimentations in the worlds of hardware based tone generators and at the limits of analog signal processors. the tracks also deliberately dispense much static computer arrangements and were recorded mostly in live sessions to capture the actual feeling for each song. every being is a universe of its own, with all it s known and unknown places. there are mistakes and inner strangers which are made to learn and grow. this record is a recent snapshot from someones life, where the love for music and sound is maybe the most beautiful mystery!

2009 remastered re-issue of this 1991 released double vinyl album by kraftwerk. comes with 12 inch booklet and picture inner sleeves.

debut half machine single, >sunset blvd<. featuring remixes from fryars, popular computer (kitsune) and triangles (which is shitdisco producer and former clor guitarist luke smiths new remix name).

big record alert! great full length e.p by the third side, the infamous berlin based team formed by panorama bar resident steffi (ostgut ton/klakson), marieu (restoration/sabotage) and lucretio (restoration/mixworks/deepmoves).

all tracks are recorded live on dusky tape with no computer involved.

der ausnahmeproduzent flying lotus legt nach seinem vielbeachteten debutalbum los angeles den nachfolger vor! auf cosmogramma weitet er das spektrum der integrierten stile in richtung space-jazz aus und lädt ein zu einem kosmischen trip voller unendlicher liebe und begeisterung für musik in all ihren variationen. mit musikern wie rave coltrane, einem weiteren sprössling der coltrane-famile, dem bass-virtuosen thundercat und den gastvokalisten thom yorke (radiohead) und laura darlington (siehe debut) gelingt ihm der aufstieg zu schwindelerregenden neuen kreativen höhen. mit cosmogramma belegt flying lotus eindrucksvoll, weshalb ihn die matriarchin der globalen bass music, mary-anne hobbs, als den >hendrix seiner generation< bezeichnet.

odaka (also known as rawakari) delivers some nice abstract techno in the best idm tradition. he dabbles here with a flurry of machines, to obtain that distinctive analogue sound to go back to the basics. even the graphic design is the result of a more back to basics technique, without the assistance of a computer once again, but rather via sketching and plain and simple drawing. a very sincere and sympathetic release on this belgium label (brussels to be precise, wallonia, roughly same areas as confined). record is mastered by pascal demez (herrmutt lobby, kadah/vresky) check!

vinyl only release, limited to 500 handnumbered copies!... anlaog raw tech to house tracks always a pleasure to listen .. thats underground live recorded tracks this is a very special release as all the process of manufacturing/mastering/cut of the vinyl has never passed through computer ! like the early years...vinyl was cut directly from the source: so you have a 100% full analogue sound !!!

phat old school vocoder electro from germany! classic and timeless release from the audiosonic crew and electrodefender.

after a bit of a quiet period, moods & grooves returns with a heavy hitter – gu (aka glenn underground). an icon from the 2nd generation of chicago house music producers, gu by far is the most prolific. back to the basic is a concept through which he returns to the roots of chicago house when producers made the music, not a computer or program.

big support from optimo, ivan smagghe, azari & iii, matthew dear, simian mobile disco, dave p, runaway, michael mayer, jackson and his computer band, ewan pearson, hercules & love affair....
