time to welcome more new, undiscovered talent to the fold, this time we give you sheffield producer thatmanmonkz with an amazing ep entitled please dont slip, trip or fall off. thatmanmonkz came to our attention last year when his track that would be alright appeared on tone control music. the low slung, bluesy inflections combined with moodymann-esqe vocals and deep pads had us instantly hooked so when he presented us with three brand new tracks for delusions of grandeur we literally bit his hand off.

for its eighth release apartment delivers its first long player, by mysterious producer, vernon (dixon avenue basement jams / night gallery). little is known of this artist – what we do know is that his formative years were spent in belgium, immersing himself in the emerging new beat and ebm sounds emanating from the countrys dance clubs. for his release on apartment he has created 6 tracks that reflect these early influences, whilst also taking in other techno, house and electro influences. pounding drums, rasping hi-hats, rave stabs, twisting acid lines and grinding synths all come together under the unique tutelage of this most skilled of producers, all the while watched by the experts…

location 141? location unknown? although one would hazard a guess at somewhere in the ether between chicago and detroit (that is, of course, if we didnt know any better). this mysterious créature de la nuit sits comfortably between the two places of influence and bends them into his own style to herald rogue cat sounds first emergence of 2014 and, in doing so, unfurls two killer, bumpin and weighty jams for the discernable discoid freaks in all of us.

by now, frak needs no formal introduction. lets just say they are the swedish house mafia for people who actually know what house music is. lately, there has been somewhat of a surge in house and techno influenced by synth, ebm and obscure sub-genres that ends with >wave<. so the timing couldnt be better for frak to return to kontra-musik with this remarkable synth and acid flavoured release.

our friends in nyc follow up last years outrageously good my rules with the eagerly awaited second volume ! yah yah on the a is a totally addictive and louche epic, swathed in psychedelic disco layers, punctuated by vocal snippets and chants, underpinned by a broad bottom end and finished with some swirling synth lines on the flip woman offers us an equally dancefloor friendly workout, a crisp rhythm section powers along with an unrelenting funk low end and an ode to the fairer sex in the vocal dept, all liberally doused in acid punch, of course utterly essential ! as with c.o.m.b.i, keep it cheap and ny edits, you know these won t be around long and are destined to become cult classics

(rrose & rich oddie rmxs) we know the storm caused by ctrls last record (movements ep came out in february) hasnt quite calmed down yet, but we just couldnt hold this one back

mnenosyne was the personification of memory, daughter of gaia and uranus, wife of zeus and the mother of the muses, goddesses of the arts. also this time an excellent collaboration with an artist for whom i have great esteem tony scott aka edit select. because of the magic of art that unites the whole world, i have had the pleasure of getting to know him personally during an amazing gig in paris in which we began to design a collaboration on some tracks. after our first collaboration survivors of the pulse released on edit selects prologue music lp phlox we decided to continue with another ep of three sick tracks that i have given the names of three muses according to my personal imagination.terpsichore - to the he goddess of dance id offer this track with its controversial rhythm and detailed sensual overtones.euterpe - goddess of music and in our case seen in terms of techno music, a mix of pure energy and imagination and this track i believe has these two features. deep, straight and hypnotic. urania - this track i would like to dedicate to the goddess of astronomy

without a doubt, manfredi romano (aka dj tennis) is a busy man. co-founder and partner of life and death, a dj with a full schedule and someone who still always has his fingers (and mind) in multiple projects and multiple places at the same time. how he juggles it (or when he sleeps) are questions best not pondered. one thing those who know him well have surely noticed is that he does it all while constantly on the move. unfazed by the constant whirl of cities that pass him by, he somehow manages to remain focused throughout. no matter where he goes, he somehow always manages to remain local.

confidently striding into his third musical decade, luke solomons influence stretches far and wide across a scene that has been embedded in his dna since the early 90s. now harnessing that wealth of experience and unmatched passion for music, solomon presents his next undertaking, positioning himself as the dj/shop assistant/curator you always dreamt about

sometimes it is best to let the music do the talking, this is one of those occasions. local talks 46th release comes from exciting debutant sameed. little did we know about sameed before we got the four tracks for this 12 inch, for all we know it could be your neighbour. quick-firing the release is spend, functional as a set highlight with its dubby chords, vocal snippets and a wonky bassline. included on the b-side is a dub that will work perfect as a dj tool for those who want to go a little bit deeper. showcasing sameeds sense for keeping things stripped down and sweaty, still is a dirty exercise in acid witchcraft while getyoself can best be described as a delicately raw rhythm with dark textures.

skylax 136 arrives in the form of a killer ep from none other than lady blacktronika. most will know her from her own imprint, sound black recordings, where she has served up some of the best deep house and slo-mo beatdown to come from the us since the labels inception in 2010. such a stellar output has led many to refer to her as the first lady of both the genres she frequents, and with this new offering of pure-grade deep house, she shows no sign of letting go of that title.

the the second release in the nrr series is here. this time two extraordinary mixes from zoe zoe & enoah ballard. on the a-side zoe zoe takes a classic donny hathaway cut, flips it into orbit and rinses it with innovation and experimentation. on the flip zoe zoe and enoah ballard rework george maple with deep pads and pulsing drums that really makes you love the track more and more each time you play it.

multi-faceted producer and dj ben westbeech has accomplished something that eludes most artists - after ten years in the industry he successfully stands with one foot in the underground, one in the commercial - and nowhere is this more apparent than on his first release on aus music as breach which sees ben digging deeper than ever before

talk about saving the best until last. if you thought that the first two parts of awanto 3s opel mantra trilogy were good, just wait until you hear part 3. it delivers a brilliantly breathless conclusion to what could well be one of the strongest debut albums of 2014. by now, you should know the script. amsterdam producer steven van hulle has previously shown glimpses of his musical talents, either with sporadic solo productions (see his superb 2010 debut on rush hour, for five), or alongside friends from the dutch scene (san proper, young marco and tom trago, in particular). opel mantra, a debut album split across three 12 inch singles (a cd version will follow later in the year), is his big reveal – our first chance to wallow in his unique and thrilling fusions of deep house, detroit techno and a multitude of vivid global influences.

deep darker workouts by the artist that brought us the mmt tapes series ....... killer! jorge velez returns to rush hour with a new two-track 12 inch. also known for his work as professor genius and under other monikers, velez has long been one of the us undergrounds most revered figures to those in the know. ausland delivers two deep, darker, low-fi techno jams by this veteran jersey-based producer…

n a rainy late september day in the mid eighties, 7 year old phillip lauer didnt know what to expect from that little new born g, who was referred to as his brother jacob. on the other hand, baby jacob wasn t very sure of what to make of this - back then still sporty - youngster either, who behaved like his boss. to make a short story long it took them almost 30 years to finally find out - behind the helm of the infamous pyramide 2 studio when conducting this fine piece of home made dance music: the brudis ep

after a huge remix for psychemagik (black noir schwarz), crosstown rebels prepares to release the highly anticipated next full ep from tom dinsdales fast rising solo alias, mineo. already getting a monster reaction on dancefloors, as damian lazarus will attest, get out fight displays mineos distinctively uk sound and idiosyncratic, patchwork production style. a 4-tracker that ranges from the punky attitude, wonky percussion and deep, growling grooves and vocal licks of get out fight to the hints of ska in madness-sampled killer (rude boy) and the slinky garage, rnb-spliced edge of soaking wet and low-slung ride dont know my name - this is a killer package, and statement of very creative intent

wonderful energetic dance music with well integrated rhythmic and melodic structures

raw and dirty chicago stuff ... as we love it

although delivering a mysterious & scantily clad 12 inch is hardly a novel concept these days, we must confess to being more than a little excited when we heard this one! it is undercover time again, and we’re sworn to secrecy, of course… what we do know, however is that this mighty release is an absolute dancefloor sureshot! made up of two long, pitched down and utterly mesmerising workouts kicking off with itaque putant, a mid-tempo, tripped out disco number that marries elements of techno, late 80s balearia and more than a nod towards classic red zone dubs. super low subs and bags of melodic atmosphere conspire to provide a perfect dancing under the stars moment. on the flip timento is a lysergic, tribalistic epic, stitching together a series of ethnic ingredients and overlaying some seriously transcendent modern synth candy. building into the soundtrack for a full blown shamanic vision! a serious platter then, and when the music is this good, who needs more?

in the not so distant past, a certain chicago house sound found its way to clubs worldwide. a jacking house sound made up of anything producers could get there hands on. if you had a cool alarm sound, you could throw it under a 909 and watch dancers freak out. dj rafaels new ep for on the prowl is a nod to that era. while hes not using an alarm as his tool, youll notice the in your face style in which its based upon. some of you might know rafael from his earlier miracles club releases for cutters and mexican summer. this time around rafael fauria joins friend brian foote for some on the edge jack tracks which are both packed with acid and foot stomping percussion.

we dont know, whether this guy is sleeping at all. he just released a new ep under his rar moniker. he seems to be nonstop assembling and fiddling on some delay pedals and what not. let alone all the touring. and then he comes up with a km022, that setsdirectives and also lives up to them, as if it was nothing.

music is love is back with its 8th ep, this time coming from label boss oli furness with a remix from u know the drill. furness is the manchester based producer who, in the last couple of years, has established himself as a very real voice in the global house conversation thanks to eps on labels like the legendary nervous, morris audio and skylax.

*deixa eu dizer* is an absolute essential brazilian record, as sampled by marcelo d2 on one of our favourite brazilian hip hop records *desafabo*. the track features on her stunning album of the same name has never been released on 7 inch.
cizinhas track was originally released on rozenblit and has been a firm favourite of ours for a while, although we know nothing about the track.

sounding like a sonic sunset tracklist the ep drifts between balearic beatdown, chicago house & brazillian carnival but with the added grit from north eastern england.

third ears detroit beatdown series was instrumental in redefining the perception of detroit electronic music abroad

excellent hypnotic romania style, you know the game...

the debut album by dam swindle. it has everything you would expect from the swindles, some slow burners with a hint of disco, some deep house, some banging club monsters and hey, even some leftfield hip hop jams

the sun ep is a collection of 4 outstanding tracks from artists that know a thing or two about genuine deepness. featuring ernie (minuendo /deep art sounds), natan h (ethereal sound/manmakemusic), brian james (unfocused) and owen jay & melchior sultana (moods & grooves/underground quality), bbr06 portrays the distinct batti batti sound taking the listener on a warm journey of different textures!

an imaginary country continues from the trajectory of tim heckers last album, the critically acclaimed harmony in ultraviolet, while also showing a few new tricks. tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound pallete including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. at times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos that he is know for. this music backs off from the void of immensity in favor of a terrain of lushness and warmth.
