shades rises from the minds of korova. the aim is at drawing new nuances in the immaginary spectrum of techno, to get the hearing closer to the sound of those hidden mechanical shadows. shades lives on dark visions and primitive rhythms, but nevertheless trusts in a future controlled by a lightning plot between humans and technologies.

in their own words, like a radio-controlled mechanical, electro-mechanical and multifunctional musical instrument, berliner ring build up relentless and relentlessly different grooves in a characteristically non-direct way. as if playing around without focus they layer their tracks and slowly position them into form. the tracks featured here were originally released on cd on the art yard label. melodies are fragmented, often even sparse, the groove never stops, but does so with intervals and while changing focus. berliner ring references similar bands in the krautrock and post-rock genre, but it s subtlety, the originality of their self-built instruments and their songs that shift from downright groovy to more atmospheric explorations of ambience and texture guarantee them a unique voice and perspective. essential stuff.

there is no place like home. that is exactly what dapayk & padberg had in mind after they released their new album at the beginning of the year. now they reveal their next ep on mo’s ferry. dont sleep lives up to its name. due to this pushing track everyone jumps remote-controlled on the dance floor and the idea of falling asleep has no chance to enter your head. plus, there’s a cherry on the cake: a remix by tiefschwarz.

und hier kommt der nächste arbeitseinsatz.. second only vinyl v/a on subotnik!! incl tracks by new signed artists

after the two stunning tenenement yard albums on eye4eye, altered natives comes back on bosconi releasing another strong three tracker ep full of pagan and mythological inspiration called >the fates<. as the artist says, this ep was based on the moirae, the 3 greek/roman goddesses who controlled fate. the greek word moirae literally means a part or portion, and by extension ones portion in life or destiny. they controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal from birth to death, so each track as be named for each one of them.

excellent house mini compilation from brooklyn based voodoo down records.

next up is the highly anticipated second release on graphene.. enter into a future prophecy world, where the stark realization of armageddon is foretold in all its hell-fire glory. solenoid is the narrator and observer of a planet controlled and afflicted. the future of the humanoids is about to concede to a terrifying conclusion. prepare to be sucked into a repressive nightmare. first up colony is a carved slice of visionary purgatory. distorted pads swirl in whirlwinds of vortex like cylinders. its a piece of perfectly crafted technoid mayhem. on the flip feathermen begs the questions who are they what will they do what is their mission all remains unanswered, except to acknowledge that a vile plan is at work. it s an hypnotic trip that eerily changes with every play. the main riff attacks your cranium with subtle but deadly force, eating its way into your soul. shuffling rhythmic drum patterns are juxtaposed with curious bells and creeping washes. the feathermen are in control. last on the flip pandemic is the absolute realization of a contaminated world. the pathogen continues to take down more and more of the planet. steeped in urgency and despair, the spaceage break gives insight to how the world might be after the annihilation....a new beginning or a end of all ends you must decide. one thing to conclude is that however much they unleash their destruction, they can never defeat nature itself. solenoid delivers a distinctive, badass ep that additionally works sweet as a dj tool. to be continued... words livia terri played by dimi angelis (figure, smallville), obtane (synewave), ben sims (drumcode, hardgroove), perc (perc trax, clr), bcr boys (nachtstrom)..

were you able to touch them – to render them tangible and actually trace the rhythms in yachts i walked alone – the lines would form steep hills and sudden cliffs that rise and drop off, again and again, at steep, sharp angles. the wiry funk and itchy bass move like a controlled spasm, convulsive and itchy, until the breakdown, when the nervous tension gets released in a series of cowbell clunks and a guitar solo that leaks out like a slow moving electric current. on this vinyl only collection of remixes, parisian duo get a room!, aka rove dogs and jeff masson, massage out the herk and jerk, making for a more relaxed and aurally warm take. the sound of things is far housier here – and more pop, in the very best way – owing to synths where there previously were none and angles newly bent and refashioned into smooth, circling cycles of disco-infused sound. and theres more from jacques renault, who contributes a remix both with and without vocals. the new york city dance music stalwart takes his time building to a plateau of perfectly paced beats and a wall of recurring dream(y) house rhythms. feels like music that fills the room, takes over your senses, and wraps you in its effervescence. - kali holloway

fully armed with their voltage controlled gear, the two germans are deep in the early 80ies. their very own interpretations of the sound of that decade are fully authentic (b2: memories), analogue and very rough(b1: alles klar). the classic analogue sequencer mello flows and changes (a1: frequency 99 / a2: komm mit (join us)/ a3: blicke (views))and their neverending drumcomputer flows still got the warmthof the 80ies. german and english spoken vocal phrases add a lot of more atmosphere of the zeitgeist, you can trust!

recorded over the past three years, across the creative trinity of berlin, brooklyn and the sleepy hollow town of hamilton, near niagara falls in ontario, canada, new looks self-titled debut album is a feverishly anticipated affair. the canadian future pop duo and real life couple, sarah ruba and adam pavao have an undeniable creative synergy, combining the stunning, synth-playing chanteuse and former model, 25-year-old ruba (previously shot by the likes of cult fashion provocateur bruce weber) and multi-instrumentalist, 31-year-old producer pavao. there is a confidence and wit to their songwriting, coupled with cosmic tweaks and soft synths underpinning their future pop aesthetic. its controlled yet wistful pop perfectionism.

operating from one of the midlands most rejected and decaying brutalist structures, this new label is committed to vinyl releases. adapta is steve conner. steve began making music in 98 when he formed bitstream with his brother dave, releasing music together until 2008. after a 3 year break following a cycling accident, steve has fired up his analogue equipment again. his setup is constructed around a completely redesigned memorymoog from 1982, with roland and elektron hardware. everything is controlled via a custom designed interface, and recorded live.

from the far away sound to the one that explodes in your face, from chicago to berlin, from delay to mute, tube & berger vs. fank sonic create here a timeless dance tune! we are speaking about >the swarm<. put steve bug in a room with dj pierre and this is what you might get. small stunts... reductive rhythm... controlled cool drive... a winner.

in 4 years anile has steadily established himself as a underground d&b solider. this release for spirits label is a absolute stomper >exclusion zone<. real heavyweight d&b with no cheese. the flip >code of conduct< by anile & dakosa rolls out controlled techoid fun pressure with super weighty low end sub-bass. sinister music for the real d&b heads, perfect to mix, perfect to make you move.

markus suckut is an emerging talent in the world of deep, purist techno. having already released on labels like stroboscopic artifacts and lineal, suckut is quickly honing his skills and turning out some seriously impressive club tools. shine opens the ep as an understated track stretching over 10 minutes, however to experience this on a full club system, perhaps when suckut plays at the figure label night in berghain in april, youll quickly.. >symbiosis< is a paranoid jack track - 2011 style. rigid, reduced and yet alive with endless automation and a very unique sound design. on a more dubbed tip, >you< shows suckuts deeper edge in a controlled and well rounded atmospheric tool for the early hours

nice price deal !!! as 2010 draws to a close, low res records makes one last shot at the buzzer with a veritable milestone of mayhem - the 23rd enigma in the shape of a new and long overdue dj adjust record. >release the sharks< is four tracks of abusive speaker therapy constructed in the spirit of recreational headbanging most would call haptic technology for heshers. possessing the demonstrative power of potential that pokes at the ear pupils, the new adjust record is a leaning tower of rhythmic inconsequentials that cast a dark shadow over the deliberate composition of controlled chaos.

yes, we finished the work on the 10th anniversary issue of playtracks records! its called spaceboutique and three fantastic tunes and one surprise are waiting for you. first of all we ask the marvellous lowtec to provide us a jubilee track. no country for soul men is a pure bliss of deephouse - a tightly controlled groove covered in hypnotic vapour sounds. furthermore we are happy to have the frankfurt am main based artist rubrique on this release. with chillum he produced a stunning piece of music which could have had the eligibility to be on one of the great spacenight compilations. label head t. bachner went deep inside his mind to catch the right track

do you remember why you started going out in the first place? if not, the maze will remind you with the largest feedback overdose since jimi and miles devastated the isle of wight. recorded in one take in an all-analog set up, stefan hooked up drum machines, distorition pedals and a theremin-controlled fuzz box for the ultimate screaming machine jam. now spanning two sides of a 12inch.

you know that uneasy feeling you get right before something big happens? no its not a terrorist attack or an earthquake. its your good friends triage and the bassist bringing yet another ground shattering release on your friendly neighborhood hollow point recordings. triage the bassist have been leveling houses for a combined 16 years, so be warned! these tunes are built to completely annihilate dance floors, car systems, laptop speakers, headphones, you name it. we accept no liability for the use or misuse of this product as it is intended for controlled demolitions only. use at your own risk!

like a guided missile comes here a splintering speedcore record from the depths of canada. relentless beats & pristine production this record delivers agro culture in its purest form. 8(!) tracks from short controlled 1 minute bursts to serious party bangers this is one of the best tni records to date! who said canadians cannot make great quality speedcore!? up yours biatches!

hamburg‘s very own stimming arrives on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut audiomatique with the wonderful ‚buxton pipes‘ ep. with releases on diynamic, freerange, terminal m and liebe*detail martin stimming‘s carreer was boosted by the underground hit „una pena“ last year and peaked in his debut album ‚refl ections‘ earlier this year. ‚buxton pipes‘, the lead track on the new ep, is a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting fi ltered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design that confi rms stimming‘s talents at working those subliminal zones. dainty, pretty and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, its a genuine slice of ultra modern micro-post-minimal- house. continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, ‚kakusei‘ arrives with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory its another stellar addition to the record. finally the skipping ‚seepferdchen‘ throws a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. super funky, ultimately reduced and sample-heavy it‘ll make those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. simply superb work from stimming on audiomatique. tracklisting: a: boxton pipes b1: kakusei b2: seepferdchen

zombielicious is one of the best dance albums of the decade. when i first heard it i badly wanted to license it for turbo and we almost did. zombie was even into the idea, but the timing was bad, so we decided to put together a turbo-riffic remix pack instead. bad idea compared to getting every incredible moment of that album... but luckily the result is amazing.

mossa shows up with his third release on mos ferry prod. and he demonstrates again that his productions shouldnt be missing in any record case. the title and a1 track ransack holds some solid subs, a nice and kinky drum kit including a petit but also significant drive. right next to it comes the ransack remix by andomat 3000 that pushes the whole theme more towards a swinging and rocking house tune. on the flip dark love reveals - as the name implies - a dark & noisy track topped with a sonorous vocal that shouldnt be ignored. with toms and hats from the music electronics supply store b2 make the noise is an excellent example for controlled rhythm & sound that puts a perfect finishing touch to this release. we love to say: make the noise, please make the noise!

time to look busy again, as function aka dave sumner comes rampaging through the streets of downtown berlin, kicking aside lesser producers and mauling all who stand in his way. not that you would know it from the supremely controlled affair that is his edit of >variance<. moody in the extreme, this edit sees beautiful interplay between delays and reverbs but without the track sinking into the predictable mire of dub techno. space is indeed the place..

dubby and smooth electronic tracks on the legendary underground resistence label

waves of human suffering is exactly what the title implies, a non stop assault to the senses decrying the horrors humanity ritualistically bestows upon itself. but amidst the controlled chaos created by benumb leader pete ponitkoff and vulgar pigeons alumni jeff lenormand and john gotelli, if you listen beyond the walls of intense riffing, double time percussion and hardcore ethos, you can clearly hear that agenda of swine optimistically retains hope for future change. the best grinding metal has always been punk as fuck!

the e.p showcases some new sides to james sound and has won widespread support and praise. the title track call & response is a shuffly groover which is impeccably produced and arranged. it will be sure to get the floor grooving and has picked up nothing but positive responses from all who have heard it so far. the second track the trinity is james personal favourite of the moment. it goes tough – very tough – and as the slammin groove builds to the point of explosion, it defuses and rebuilds with controlled power. this is an absolute dancefloor bomb...

again if you like your dubstep dark, bare and devastatingly simple, than this one is for you.

well produced slice of tight floor driving techno from the man, still keeps the t in techno alive. distek and zoid are welcomed to the uf family with welcome to the family, an absolute killer of a track, big rides and controlled dirt is brought together with tight filters and fx. yummie! if you are new to these boys then this introduction to their sound will keep ya wanting. loop based techno as it should be!

this 12 contains vinyl only remixen! his previous release was on yoshitoshi recordings. evolve features a trippy male vocal loop that works perfectly with the simple bass and drum loops.

jona is back with manta: a sick, expertly crafted new e.p. for get physical music. 24-year-old belgian jonathan troupin s true arrival on the house and techno block his debut 12- for get physical, the learnings. since then, he s chalked up another acclaimed e.p. for physical, tizia, not to mention assorted releases for labels like fumakilla and resopal red, and high profile remixes for michal ho, soffy o, daso and labelmates booka shade and m.a.n.d.y. jona doesn t mess about: title track manta immediately establishes itself as a no-holds-barred, peaktime club weapon, with a hard, pure-of-purpose kickdrum taking centre stage while kinetic drum edits and pressurized fx patter in, out and around it. a dizzying synth motif adds to an already mind-bending brew, while each successive build and drop ravishes the listener into submission. this is music to immerse yourself in, for sure, but above all it s music to really, really dance to. at this point you might expect the pace to let up, but b-side amon is a similarly hectic, energetic cut. all rolling bassline, acidic synth cycles, crisp percussion, jump-up vocal samples and surging narcotic effects, amon is a blast of magnificently controlled chaos for the party s more intense moments. the 12- draws to a close with exoplanet dub a no less formidable but certainly more spacious club track. its addictive, zig-zagging melodies reminding us of the more playful side to jona s music. with manta, jona furnishes us with three vehement yet elegant tracks guaranteed to turn a dancefloor near you inside out

death is nothing to fear 3 is the third installment of spectral sounds compilation series, focused on bringing forward new voices in the world of techno. brought together by an equally brash and nuanced take on tonal manipulation, the four artists presented here - finlands sami koivikko, berlin- by - way - of detroits seth troxler, chicagos kate simko and ann arbors 2am/fm (james t. cotton and d marc cantu) - contribute a vast yet tightly controlled understanding of the compilations theme. what unfolds is a tough and modern ride through international techno and house.

bip soup is the collaboration of two moscow-based electronic producers: andrey zots and petr serkin (dj betatester). the main idea behind the project is the realtime techno improvisation. in studio petr and andrey produce half-finished tracks, which can be controlled in realtime on gigs. extensive usage of nord modular g2 synthesizers helps them in programming unique modular constructions. so the answer on the question what and where appears in a matter of seconds, before the realization of musical or sound ideas begins. therefore each new live gig is a unique performance. different music predilections of duo members allow to vary musical program, which helps not to stay in limits of one music style

limited backstock !!! brand new series on minus with exclusive tracks by plastikman, dubfire, jpls, heartthrob, gaiser and marc houle. of the continuing themes found throughout the music released on minus, one constant exploration is the relationship between sound and silence. within the stripped down but dimensional outcome there exists a polarity that is neither controlled nor accidental, where life imitates art in between the notes. the act of finding inspiration from a sonic molecule or the inaudible space around that element is the nature of expansion & contraction. limited edition double pack vinyl format features a specially embossed sleeve and black/white vinyl, reflecting the duality of the expansion & contraction concept.

if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.

germanys electro purists mas 2008 are back with the elco_16.0 >un-destroyable structures< on electronic corporation. they still fulfill the expectations on real powerfull and danceable electrotracks. machines seemed really being animated by kirchner & mueller on their new 12inch. they keep on track in producing the oldschoolish hardware based way, like back in the old days. no plug-in pings and pongs, just really voltage controlled synthesizers and drummachines with deep, warm and noisy sounds. mas 2008 keep their tracks still based arranged with implementing song structures and vocal fragments – clubby with pop particles. who ever is keen on electronic music of the last two decades, will find all these influences on the elco_16.0
