during the summer of 2012 before the rains came, the captain headed for the interior and in a lost valley far from the world of men he jammed with a tribe of initiates ... the valley people. the results were channelled via ether waves to ocean moon central aka the centre of sound where seahawks guided them to vinyl in their own sweet way. echoes of fern kinney on helium, nick nicely on mogadon, kraftwerk jamming in the jungle whilst aliens land their craft ready for a cosmic lounge party. listen out for ethereal soul sounds, island funk and dream wave ... ghost vibrations from beyond the reef where they dream of sliver rivers and sleep under the stars.

after appearances in the last 12 months across world unknown, lets play house, endless flight and futureboogie, geordie trouble starters last waltz add tusk wax to their canon of labels with the first of two releases. the usual hand stamped, individually numbered, weighty 180g vinyl factors are present and correct yet there is still room for the concluding chapter in the sleeve. the thrusting, lusting glamour things isnt shy, pairing motorboat arpeggios with satisfyingly weighty drums, whilst the detuned tipping the gulf tumbles along with a certain lopsided glee. an accompanying jamie blanco remix ramps up the originals lead synths with decidedly epic cosmic results, whilst beholden (part 1) sees last waltz play with the work of foals in calming, cosmiche fashion.

coming correct from deep within the london scene, jonno & tommo consummate their production partnership with a return to ornate to delve further into the hypnotic, soulful end of the house spectrum. close the door stretches across the a-side of their new release, the tough demeanour of the drum-heavy intro giving way to a serene pad arrangement, setting the tone for a starlit workout bolstered by an infectious hook of dusty vocal and subtle sonic decoration that accentuates the groove. small stone represents a more reflective mood on the flip, steadily feeding in reams of rhythm and melody before fully blossoming into an equally seductive, bumping jam laced with a perfectly pitched acid line that nestles into the cosy confines of the track.secret weapon of the capitals underground house fraternity, miles sagnia steps up with a simmering remix of small stone that keeps the tension high and the textures roaming through a decidedly futuristic soundscape, while still retaining the ethereal tone of the original.

another exclusive cooperation of internasjonal / full pupp and friends. this time we took three tracks from the second album of italys fine cosmic/kraut duo crimea x and bjorn torske wich was originally released on hell yeah and gave them an extra special prins thomas diskomiks twist. the result is as for me, especially convincing in dream is gone which almost sounds like a warm late 80s club version of a new order track. which, again, hopefully says something about its future fanboy / fangirl potential. so simple and so nice!

hailing from chicago, the latest entry from our new skudge white series sees innerspace halflife venture into some of house and technos eeriest realms. when ike release and hakim murphy joined forces sometime last year, we immediately thought that their very own cosmic take on jackin house would be a perfect fit for our label, and boy did they deliver!

vinyl only !! of course!! more than a year after his last ep, quarion returns to retreat for a fantastic expedition: a journey to the >moons around jupiter<. consisting of four tracks dedicated to the four galilean satellites, >moons around jupiter< is a sonic masterpiece that blurs the lines between house, techno, broken beat and disco. a certain detroit mystique (the futurism & outer space themes) also surrounds this mesmerizing ep which quarion himself ranks as possibly his best work to date … come and take a ride! we may share the ultimate bond with the moon europa: the presumption of oceans underneath its crust of ice as well as an atmosphere that is mostly filled with oxygen make this satellite a good candidate for possible extra-terrestrial life (more micro-organisms than 3-eyed aliens though). quarions >europa< hopes to reveal the secrets underneath the ice layer: beginning with a skippy beat and a tinkling piano, the track evolves rapidly as subtle keys and a cosmic choir appear from beyond.

oh cruel science is the thirteenth enklav release, the second to be printed on vinyl, as well as the second work for enrico luccheses project evn.after his first mini-album cloche insecure, a 56 minutes journey in a dilated abstract land stretched in long dreamy melodies and at times crushed by squelchy fast beats, evn presents his more beat-oriented work.oh cruel science is a 5 tracks ep in which noises, synths and drums create evolving hypnotic textures, imaginary landscapes of repetitive pulsating patterns composed to be a complete physical-emotional-intellectual experience. evn sounds come from the use of analog modular synthesizers and digital machines with which he creates his own timbres and structures starting from scratch through the manipulation and modulation of raw waveforms and noises by means of meticulous patching and looping techniques.

the mysterious detroitrocketscience project is back for a third vinyl-only excursion into deep space, with two more cosmic journeys. the sub-space signals and minimalism and heartbeat intro of zeta-reticuli 4 give way to deep, introspective strings as we journey through the interstellar gate to our titular destination, a class-m world in the zeta-reticuli system. cosmic. meanwhile on the b-side, the melancholy-yet-minimal xetra takes the listener ever deeper into unexplored, zero-gravity soundtrack realms while still retaining its requisite, earth-based, (neo-) detroit-style machine soul.

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. its loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts. whiskey disco #18, cut me gently by beard in dust comes from behind the iron curtain. on a recent tour of russia, sleazy mcqueen had the fortune of meeting a friendly moscovite with an excellent selection of re-edits gathering dust on the hard drive. from the stab- centric *it shouldnt work, but it does* re-edit of grapevine to the cosmic groover, revolution in morder, the straight up boogie of highest mountain and the laidback ease of cant get enough-- more than most, this really does offer something for all (groovy) dancefloors.

streaking through the ether at twice the speed of sound, mr 8040 is on a date with destiny. he is heading for mikrosector-50, his home planet, but things are not going as smoothly as planned. en route he finds himself in sticky situations, cosmic encounters that trigger flashbacks to a different time and place. will he ever make it home? and who – or what – is he running from?
this, more or less, is the narrative thrust of jack hamills debut album as space dimension controller. welcome to mickrosektor-50 is a swashbuckling sci-fi odyssey that unfolds like some long-lost star wars episode scripted by philip k dick and scored by tangerine dream. the record is fantasy in its purest form: a futuristic boys own adventure concocted in a belfast bedroom, it is the sum of jacks musical influences distilled into 68 minutes of unalloyed electronic pleasure.

limited reissue of this incredible and highly sought-after futuristic 12 from 1981. released on west african music, a tiny label from the ivory coast, and finding a spiritual home on the italian eclectic cosmic scene, both tracks on this 12 are brilliantly innovative and exhibit a minimal techno-esque aesthetic way ahead of their time. side as closer is a chugging sinuous flow punctuated by jerking monotone vocals, horn stabs and synth arpeggios with a strong dancefloor sensibility. flip over for stunningly weird electronic percussion workout tam tam - a crazed sparse soundscape of strange falsetto tribal chants, funky hand claps and drums, synth wobbles, spasms and tweaks. mystery surrounds the identity of the elusive artist codek but evidence points to it being an offshoot project of french new wave producer john marieux.

fluxus is danny scrillas first transmission for civil music and the munich based producers second release. following on from 2012s flash powder ep for om units cosmic bridge label, *fluxus* sees scrilla in expected fine form, and takes in four original neck snapping instrumental tracks plus two remixes from japans deep medi member goth-trad and london producer and one to watch deft. on fluxus scrillas productions run at 80-90bpm / 160-180 bpm exploiting slowfast halftime tempos yet are seemingly engineered from the sonic essence of 06 og dubsteps dark sparse dreadnought sounds, with waves of quaking bass growing under iced-out percussion accentuated by toiling snares. floating chords and hypnotic melodies drive skeletal riddims, sci-fi synthlines arc over the spacious heavyweight ruffage built for towering stacks and pitch black rooms.

ffr start well 2013 with a vinyl release which could be qualified as indecent, featuring an original track by phonokemi, remixed by two well respected artists, the italian nico lahs and the incredible german producer tim xavier. a release with multiple facets: deep, tech house, minimal & mental and chicago-bump-styleas we would come to expect from phonokemi, thoughts is a deep tech house track of extremely high quality. with a deep and pumping baseline and well refined vocals, thoughts is dark and groovy on one hand and an invitation to dance on the other, with absolutely no second thoughts.nico lahs s remix is an ultra-personal and mental re-read of the original track: minimal and elegant, cosmic and organic this track is reminiscent of some of ricardo villalobos s reference productions.finally tim xavier takes us straight to the centre of the universe: the dancefloor. his remix is a real dancing machine… pumping basses, efficient snares and sublime vocals that loop the loop and make this ep a killer release.

kenneth bager drops this killer dance instrumental (the title track to his album due in 2013) which was a huge hit in ibiza and with pete tong on the radio. also includes kenneths remix of coyotes eve and the cosmic jazz dub of love wont leave me alone feat. jean luc ponty.

embossed sleeve art /180gr-vinyl zsou bring their trademark sense of drama and dynamics to an intense rework of ?walking through heaven?s door?, a track that featured on manzanera?s album k-scope. the choice of track and remixer is particularly fitting for the b-side. pioneering italian dj daniele baldelli remixes ?caracas?, a track that had heavy rotation in the ?cosmic? club that baldelli dj?ed at in the 1980?s. the ?mental? remix adds a sense of disorientation and heaviness that echoes the vibe of baldelli?s sets from cosmic

what if time does not matter? welcome to the world of jonas saalbach, where nothing is solid but the rhythm of the base. we are drifting between synthwaves and nested melancholic melodies, between hazy vibes and spare used dark vocals and we call it >nika yumi<. this one is a brilliant number from a producer-youngstar, which strandet in berlin with a big smile and many dreams in the backage. so here we go with his first release on einmusika recordings. >next< - the second track on the ep, is an exotic odyssey in times of vocal- and deephouse, because this number is technoid, minimal and unimagined. >cave< can flip a good party into a great one in the space of six glorious minutes. the bendy baseline is catching everybody and the track is full of cosmic synths. and after this trip you surely need a bottle of water and a melody which picks up this feeling underlined with dreamy synth motifs and a kind of woozy bleeps. okay. so where we are? what time it is? whatever you can repeat everything.

mit dem album aoxomoxoa sind viele premieren der band verbunden. es war das erste album, das sie ausschließlich in tonstudios in nähe ihrer heimatstadt san francisco aufnahm, im pacific recording studio bei san mateo und im pacific high recording studio direkt in san francisco. es ist das erste album, bei dem tom constanten als festes bandmitglied mitspielte. robert hunter arbeitete nur als offizieller songwriter für die band und mit garcia bis zu dessen tod zusammen. zum ersten mal wurde ein schwerpunkt bei akustischen songs wie mountains of the moon und duprees diamond blues gelegt. somit musste lesh zum ersten mal einen akustischen bass spielen, was er mit dem spielen einer violine verglich, da dieser keine bünde für die finger hat.
