often called one of chicago s talented hidden gems, singer/songwriter/dj/producer tai davis means house in almost every sense. he s dropped vocals for and worked with established producers such as paul johnson, stacy kidd, and also galactik knights, dj sound, nate caswell and dj yakka. preferring to use vintage analog gear, his classic house sound consistently packs dance floors worldwide!

vinyl comes in a vacuum packed transparent sleeve cycle ep is the first public transmission from w.t.r, setting the syntax for subsequent label releases to come, cycle ep comes offered as a unique handmade vacuum packaged production, praising the records functionality as well as a utility for the worlds need to dance. the eponymous title track cycle brings the listener gale force into a tunnel, packed dense with repetitive computer servers, crashing through a thrum of gated rim shots and acid splashed cartoonish sequences, don’t be disturbed by the repetitive glitch of parasites rising slowly inside your ears. the alternatively named title chain guides the listener into an immersive walloping ravy realm, satisfying the desire for the motorik rhythmic. a slick, sensual and sublime introduction into the world of reless. and no need to introduce you to shlømo, a rising darkstar in french techno scene who s take on cycle pulls apart the harsh dystopian factory sounds cultivated in the original track, exploring a more organic and hazy constitution, retaining the stern demand for the listeners attention, while exploring the original records ability to make people communicate within any space and species, at any time of the night or day...

undo (gabriel berlanga) introduces his third album disconnect, with ten songs written, recorded and produced during 2015 and 2016. on disconnect undo blends different influences using both new and old analogue gear combined with digital plug-ins and fx to create his own recognizable sound after more than 10 years on the road. opening track “disconnect” finds undo playing with psychedelic synths and singing shyly. we also hear vocals but in a very diferent mood onthe funny, funky and sexy “computer friends” and on “autómatas”, an electro cut that demands a reaction against the established injustice. there are vocals as well on the last track of the album, this time with an epic vocoder because at the end “we’ve got to fight”. djs will likely gravitate toward the unstoppable trance synth of “the arptist”, the chug-techno tension on “acid prophet”, the shuffled beats and endless harmony of “setembre” and the dreamy melodies of “interferencias” and “sunmachine”.

limited information on this release, it contains two super edits that have been heavily road tested on a certain soundsytem that is currently doing the rounds. not much information beyond that but the music speaks for itself. slow mo with energy. more soon

mysterious producer kian t is a crazy guy living in a lonely house on a top of a hill somewhere in italy. surrounded by a collection of rare old synths and vintage samplers, a little dog and the best red wine of italy. kian is making beats all day long. that’s his life. he started his career on toy tonics last year and now is back with an own ep - full of that fucked up, jazz influenced cut & paste house sound that is taking over the house world since last year. similar to his friends rhode & brown, fouk, nachtbraker or the guys around oye records in berlin he loves to create this special way of sampling old jazz records and using rare vintage synthesizers instead of digital computer sounds. just listen to a normal deep house records of the last years and compare it with the sound of the kian. using these old synths makes a big difference. you can hear it on every of his tunes: there is no cheap sound here everything is fat and has a very warm, personal, always easy to recognize sound-aesthetic: courtesy of the four synthesizers he uses: the korg polysix, the sequential prophet600, a roland juno 60, and the legendary oberheim matrix 6. and courtesy of the way he mixes his tracks: not in the laptop - but the old way: on a fat old mixing desk. thats why he has that massive sound.

greek label lower parts is back with a cinematic new ep from athenean artist ioannis savvaidis. influenced by his love of old school computer programming, all four tracks are live jams made with classic yamaha machinery from the nineties. form start to finish this is an absorbing ambient release that transports the listener into the world of science fiction. gently unfolding and expanding in all directions, savvaidis invites you to cut loose and get lost in your own mind. some are tracks darker and more foreboding, some are airy and heavenly, but all together the ep acts as a movie lived out in the mind.

vinyl only - round 2 for neukolln based boutique imprint xk after hauke freer s phenomenal first volume left heads baffled all over the place. this time, the label hands the a side to retro spook maniac matthias reiling, who opens with hand of hope, a tune that fuses an attitude-heavy, upright bass / piano theme with a cold hearted drum workout. strongly physical, sensitive, yet somewhat arrogant as we feel here. reiling twangs up his stratocaster on melodioso and explores the possibilities of sequencer based surf rock. you know, like a computer trying to be a backing band or the other way around. we can t help but imagine chris isaak singing under the shower to this one. the b side is freer territory once again, and hauke takes us deep into his realm of hypnotic, druggy dub-disco sculpting. reach out sucks you in, leaves you utterly disoriented and makes your mind paint a picture you would not have painted elsewhere. when you try to tell your friends, you can t find any words, yet it feels right and you all smile at each other.

u is a producer and dj currently living in london. previous records for man make music have proven suitable for the club as well as home listening, while a collaboration with babe, terror as btu for erol alkan’s phantasy label was varyingly described as “pleasure with a sense of dread” (the line of best fit) and “akin to having five songs playing simultaneously on your computer” (the guardian). 2014 saw u’s debut ‘haven in a heartfelt world’ ep described as -giddy electronic fuzz that packs the subtlest of punches descends into dense glitch noise then returns triumphant gritty and melodic” (crack magazine) and “distorted dreamstates” (ransom note). after the deranged chamber­edits of vienna for where to now?, u returns to the well­trodden path between flattery and irreverence in dance music with a special edition 2-­track 12- for phantasy sound. friendly ghost enters with a splay of combat­bongos, a thin synthetic aura draws over the fluctuating rhythms before a strangely negative bassline sets the pace in nu­wave perpetual motion, inevitably spiraling back on itself into a clattering reversal. on the flip ascension hymn rushes headlong into a mechanical shunter, abruptly dragged back by a frail and singular voice reciting an uncertain mantra of self­fulfilment over this blunted hardcore epic spanning 13 minutes. pressed to heavyweight vinyl, designed and printed by the artist in an edition of 300ish.

eva geist s music is inspired by dreams, lost paradises, and new horizons of human belonging.” eva geist is an italian electronic musician and composer based in berlin. her early musical experiences in electronic music were largely self-directed, beginning with use of synthesizers and sequencers to different audiovisual computer and mobile technologies.geist s music builds up a cinematic musical journey around rarefied melodies, arpeggiators, soft beats and space disco. under the eva moniker hides the underground polyedric artist andrea noce, who previously released a mini-lp last year with david kristian on macadam mambo. this ep includes a wonderfull remix of «tanz im morgenmantel » by salon des amateurs head’s tolouse low trax, transposing it in a very subaquatic version, and a sublime artwork by talented artist maria torres

limited lp & 7- pack from synth pop(?) giant, design a wave.... big sound on these cool electronic disco edged cuts.. hangman style design by cosmo knex - big tip! copenhagen based conceptual music act design a wave returns with ‘snakeface’, a document of surprise within the composition process. specifically, design a wave uses the computer to create several beats and then utilises the mutated results as building blocks for several new compositions. interest in computer-synthetic snakes, beyond all networks of communication and agency art, centres on placing these formless serpents into existing genres, such as music. snakeface is a timely exploration of the infectious qualities of music, and how it too, as a carrier, makes it’s way through neural networks, irreducible to bits and designed to infiltrate and replicate.

nice price deal !!! it s been a big shock for all of us to hear the sad news that our good friend andreas gehm passed away this year. his last big project is the -worldwide electronics- - series on his own label -cologne underground- which brings his friends from all over the world together. the idea of „worldwide electronics“ is to combine music from all over the world on one album (in fact, there will be a vol.2 too). the second idea was to combine well known artist with newcomer. when gehm, who runs cologne underground together with dbh distribution, ask the artist for tracks, he don’t ask for any specific style. the artist were free to deliver whatever they want. so at the end it ended up from deep house (oldschool definition, not edm definition) to acid. „worldwide electronics vol.1“ contains one track from greece (dimdj), germany (hardfloor), netherlands (baz reznik), england (perseus traxx), columbia(s.valencia) 2 tracks from japan (takeshi kouzuki and jin-cromanyon) and the first of hopefully a row of collaboration tracks from legowelt (netherlands) and elec pt.1 (germany) as „gehm & wolfers).

early electronics by a.k.klosowski made available again through felix kubin s galgarin records label! long before digital sampling was affordable for everyone, a.k.klosowski invented his kassetteninstrument, a custom-made music apparatus consisting of eight sony-walkmen combined with a mute/demute mechanism. the outputs of the instrument could be controlled both by hand and by an automatic trigger module. in addition, a drum computer and some effect machines were fed into the circuit. this technique allowed for very intuitive and simultaneous control over the analogue tape sources.

uk wave funk veteran dmx krew returns to abstract forms with his latest double album project. escape-mcp features 13 tracks of synth drenched electro and elastic techno grooves drawing inspiration from a 1983 computer game where the player is trapped inside a computer by a rogue processor. fortunately dmx krew isn t trapped inside a computer and is still with us making killer grooves. don t sleep!

"illektrolab has been missing in action for seven years. an electro machine, this satamile alumni went rogue; ducking under the radar in 2007. now found he s ready to return to the front line. four weapons make up illahertz. clipped beats break and reform, basslines bubble and bulge as computer funk is lanced by pared steel. drums race in eerie future wastelands, fizzing static and samples circling before acid rains down. future and past influences sharpened into dangerous electro blades by a prodigal son."

redefine is the second single taken from trentemøllers new album fixion and features marie fisker on vocals. marie fisker, a mainstay of the trentemøller live constellation, has also been a long-time studio collaborator of anders and her four songs on fixion mark their third musical partnership. marie has such a powerful and unique voice that fits my music quite naturally. i had her in mind as soon as i started writing. she ended up singing on four of the songs so shes definitely the voice that kind of leads you through the album. having toured so extensively with marie, we ve come to understand each others capacities and that really pushes us to challenge and inspire each other. i reckon thats the driving force behind our songwriting.

this track has been in my computer since a little while when dj sotofett joined me here in amsterdam, to play an epic back to back at the school (amazing new club here). when i am doing a track, it could go to a lot of different directions as im jamming them for hours in my pipe studio. i sometimes could get lost. so i asked sotofett to join me in the studio to help to finish it. then we ended with those 2 versions of cham, which are, as often when i work with the sextags man, the result of live takes almost unedited. we also add some percussions from shadi khries and we recorded two versions of the same track within hours. one being bass driven with a lot of psychedelic noises and the other one more space-techno. our adventures continues, here is another slice of spaced out music.hope you ll enjoy.

it was only a matter of time before the detroit / sheffield music connection was made again, this time with annie hall taking a break from co-running detroit underground to make an appearance on like minded sheffield label central processing unit. annie dedicates this e.p. to women in science (marie curie, lise meitner, elizabeth arden and caroline herschel) when tenured positions for women working in the field were extremely rare. although the tracks appear to be straight from the science lab, don t let that fool you as each track is brimming with laid back computer funk with subtle melodies that keep you hooked. annie has deviated from her signature fractured beats and delivered an easy listening electro affair that s equally at home on the dancefloor as it is chilling in high fidelity. tenured positions is a limited edition (300 copies worldwide) 12- vinyl with printed sleeve, paper inner and shrinkwrapped.

house is ok, but oli, janis and homeboy never said they were exclusively a house label. introducing house of life and dgf to the world, they make a slight change in direction. this split 7 inch single leaves the world of 4/4 interpretations and takes the imprint to the land of creep hop and trip pop. house of life is a project of chaveli sifre riestra & nikias chryssos. they make songs about men who dance with no pants, jesus christ, satan, and darkroom murderers. their lyrics are channeled through occult rites, internet forums, computer codes, and therapy sessions.hans with no pants tells the story of a guy who likes to party with kids, eat cake and serve cool drinks. he lives in a house by the beach and invites guests to dance with him, but what goes on in his basement remains an unspoken mystery. on the flip, a number from dgf, a project of nikias & label honcho janis. greif meine hand was originally written for the original soundtrack of nikas short film the grandfather. after it got to the 2nd place on the intergalactic fm demo competition and got props by the likes of i-f, rude66 and dj tlr, we decided to give it a second chance by putting it on this lush 45.

severence is an electronic sound artist who lives in spain. mensch 003 experiments with various forms of chaotic sound & signal generation to create dense chaotic sound fields and other more relaxed ambient soundscapes. all tracks were recorded live in one take using a eurorack modular synth, a mixing desk and various effects pedals (no overdubs or post processing in the computer).

vactrol park, the collaborative endeavor between kyle martin (land of light) and guido zen (brain machine), returns to the esp institute with ii, rounding out the second half of their ep series. for this installment, a sojourn was made to stockholm to record at the computer music mecca, ems (elektronmusikstudion), where the artists had the opportunity to experiment extensively with the legendary buchla 200 modular and serge modular, two of the rarest and most pornographic modular synthesizers in existence. while both instruments originate from california (buchla in berkeley as a commission from pioneer morton subotnik, and serge at the california institute of the arts), the music vactrol park draws from these machines is far from warm and sunny. akin to their predecessors on the 2015 debut i, these works materialize a level of taste and measure of craft that’s unattainable by most, each retaining an individual cinematic approach yet working collectively toward one consummate goal—paralysis.

from the depths of the dark net come telkhin, the latest addition to the shipwrec roster. following earth being recycled on detroit underground, the argentine project are debuting on vinyl with five tracks of off-world electronics. the chilling atmospherics of -body container- meet the needle before an electro iciness takes hold. spiking snares and echoed radiowaves orbit the moody walk in, that same frosted futurism central to level above human. telkhin melts man and machine, giving the computer age a humanoid form. processors whirr in the bassy bleeps and residues of brithomber before the final statement. leaving the human world behind flight 19 is a fast and future funk driven piece of 2050 music. forget the past, embrace the next step. limited run of 150 coloured copies.

following the recent acclaimed release of his “space” lp, on which bruno “patchworks” hovart transformed himself into patchworks galactic project for a fantastic musical trip, favorite recordings proudly presents this new 2 tracks remix ep. on the a side, rising uk producer ny*ak provides a blowing version of “surrounded by the gobblins”. what do the letters stand for? why the asterisk?” you ask. the origin of the asterisk has something to do with donating dates of birth on family trees, from back in the medieval times. in music, an asterisk denotes when a sustain pedal should be lifted. ny – new york? ak – alaska? is it something to do with the three stooges? nyak nyak nyak… it leaves the mind thirsty for answers... in reality andrew scott, the man behind ny*ak, banged his computer keyboard in frustration one day – and out came ny*ak. if that’s taken the shine off it a little, we’re not worried. listen to any of andrews tracks and we guarantee you’ll be drawn straight back in, but this time – deeper. for the b side, underground house producer kool vibe also delivers a brilliant rendition of “gobblins are gone”. producer & owner of kv records (paris), record collector since 1993, and definitely part of the new deep house music scene that is emerging from france at the moment, laurent, aka kool vibe, was born in paris in 1970. kool vibe s music reflects the best of the 90s house music sound that he manages to love so much. in 2011 and 2012, his first releases have been cult tracks out on “my love is underground” and “traxx underground” imprints.
