from the mastermind behind all the shangaan electro music - this time under the alias xitsonga, limited to 1000 copies, vinyl only.

the e.p kicks off with she can dance, a slow burning acid number that has elements of deep, grooving house from the detroit school. in fact, the second cut low control bares the influence of detroit too, with its murky, dubbed-out chords ala luke hess moving into a punchy bassline with minimal but functional drum patterns. proceedings get a bit more bouncy on the smoking hat, a quirky acid romp on the less daft side of ceephax, and the perfect soundtrack to accompany a feature-length documentary about.... a smoking hat. finishing up the e.p is fudge fingas remix of low control, the only man qualified to make an already deep as fuck track even deeper. theres been some on-point criticisms about a lot recent deep stuff getting lost in noodly jazz territory, but we are in no danger of that nonsense with fudge fingas at the controls: accomplished a musician he may be, hes never been one to lose the way, and this mix proves his deft and subtle remix talents. dabj done done it again, and hopefully this is the first in a long line of productions from vernon.

excellent freekin / abstract deep house. just brilliant.

nile delta is enigmatic dancefloor wizard joel dickson, the man responsible for last years channel/all this ep on cutters featuring cut copys ben browning. it was an essential building block of dj sets by the likes of holy ghost (dfa), aeroplane and the revenge. and now, as if inhabited by the spirits of the early house and techno pioneers, he has returned with a irresistibly potent dance anthem which excites as much as it surprises.

the new brise comes from cocoon artists agent! and vito & danito! incl excellent emanuelle inglese remix

continuing their forays into the world of yesteryear grooves unabated, those pesky hell-dwelling lumberjacks are at it again, this time drafting in o boogie and red greg for some disco funk finesse for the smoothest get-downs. o boogie lords it over the first side, leaning heavy on a rich piano hook that hammers lower register chords over an incessant disco tick, while evergreen track >papa was a rolling stone< gets re-versioned in such a floor-burning fashion you will need asbestos boots just to get out alive. red gregs >inner rhythm< plies familiar tropes into a sweet instrumental groove that makes all the right moves.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears ! for our the 31 release, we decided to bring you guys the brand new single from the inimmitable hardrock striker, the brain behind skylax!

elbee bad is another great underground house pioneer from the formative days of nyc house in the late eighties. the true story of house music finally gets told... tip! like the burrell brothers, elbee bad aka lamont booker, is an early house producer from new york city. and the comparison doesnt stop there. elbee bad has also recorded under different aliases and has also remained largely unknown to a wider audience. he has also recorded for nu groove records, for which he has recorded his most famous material, but like the burrells he wasnt a nu groove fixture. bad recorded for a slew of other independent new york house labels like bassment, city limits, easy street, red heat, united states of america and then there was his own larhon records

Über die letzten jahre gelang es den the fresh & onlys sich in die herzen einer immer grösser werdenden schar von fans zu spielen. die fresh & onlys sind so eine richtige lieblingsband. es gibt eigentlich niemanden, der dem charme des sängers tim cohen und seiner mannen nicht verfällt. früher oder später kriegen sie sie alle. das who is who der amerikanischen underground labels (woodsist, in the red und captured track) rissen sich darum ihre platten zu veröffentlichen, auf dem all tomorrows parties festival sind sie sowas wie ein stammgast, und bands wie black lips und deerhunter haben ihre lieblingsband mit auf tour genommen. diesen herbst folgt ihr inzwischen viertes album, das endlich auch in europa erscheint, auf souterrain transmissions, der heimat von crocodiles, moon duo, zola jesus und coco rosie. >long slow dance< (oder auch l.s.d.) heisst das album. abermals geht es sehr romantisch zu und hittig, man fühlt sich an go-betweens erinnert und frühe (gute!) r.e.m., aber alles glücklicherweise nicht glatt sondern schrullig. es fällt da nicht leicht ein anderes label ausser pop im besten sinne zu verwenden!

midnight love club the second strike! it is a pleasure to release the rhythm odyssey (dance music legend dean meredith) with more of his acidic analog rawness and fuzzy vintage synths. feel the warehouse vibe and check the deep techy remix of hotshot ethyl (secretsundaze, quintessentials). mlc loves you!
dean meredith is a veteran of dance music. he was not only one of the founders of chicken lips and thus a cosmic-disco godfather, but he was also one-half of bizarre inc., responsible for many rave anthems and more. as the rhyhtm odyssey in 2012, he is back on the hottest labels like rekids and golf channel. a real pro!

calis pacific horizons return with their most club friendly 12 inch to date. club meds is a funky slice of balearic punk inspired by their years in san fran dancing to early breakbeats. fata morgana is an industrial dance inspired cut with a solid club feel. stunning.

considered by those in the know to be one of the founding fathers of dutch electronic music, rick van breugel makes returns to his rare electrick dragon alias for a superlative debut on the cyber dance imprint with space connection. hardly the most prolific of labels, cyber dance releases are invariably italo disco worthy of your attention and the three tracks here ensure this status quo remains! tough and rough, >night with you< finds room amidst the flexed drums and thick arpeggiated groove to drop some romantic italo vibes for the lovers out there, whilst some sort of odd laser fx on the two adds that extra degree of individuality to the gleefully effervescent exercise in constantly building joy that is the title track. final track >soon as the stars< is a production that could only have emerged from the lowlands, the ever present outer galactic synth work and subtle yet intricate tape saturated percussion complemented by key lines that spiral in and out of focus with hypnotic intent.

after his soul tinged #1 single >tonight<, migs returns back to basics with >dance and clap<, a fun, deep and dubby track based jam with an underground edge, containing plenty of knob tweaked pads, subtle synth melodies, thundering bass grooves, and rhythmic vocal arrangements. one for the dance floor in mind and reminiscent of his earlier track based works, migs knocks out these little gems for salted.

massive deep hypnotic house, with chicago flavours

repress on 180 gram double vinyl with double cd included.

gtcm is back for a very special debut release by parisian artist low jack. at the crossroads between avant-garde techno-funk and a mischievous take on the sound of yesterday, low jacks clockmacker beats are channeled through a radiesthesia pendulum and the effects are akin to vertigo-inducing opiates of the strongest persuasion.
in addition to the three outstanding originals, this release contains gerds very first remix as geeeman. the wait has been long since his acclaimed releases on clone and he has delivered an irresistible remix geared towards dancefloor explosion that must not be missed.

new jersey is a new record label formed by mike simonetti (founder of italians do it better)

me, myself & ekoplekz present two versions of tod dockstader library production tunes from his 1979/1981 lps for aldwych stalwarts boosey & hawkes … one veers towards saline techno, the other remains a resolute radiophonic bubbler … both of us are well chuffed to have had the chance to tamper with the wiley tape sages great work … bm

this man is one of touchstones of the cosmic adriatic scene championed by the likes of italian dance legend daniele baldelli from back in the day. resurrected and flipped for a new audience. light my soul!

strut release with the second album in the >fac. dance< series bringing together sought after 12 inch versions and rarities from manchesters revered factory records imprint.

focus on cosmic club !!! for this 12th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by one of todays hottest producer: june. tasmpikos fronas has been signed this year on argys label these days & delivered one of the most astonishing first album weve heard for a while called cytheria. he has already been remixed by dj sprinkles. he sent us his brand new tracks & we felt it was so good that we decided to release them straight ! his sound is firmly rooted in proto-house and acid. a whirlwind of crystalline electronics , sunshine-bright melodies and playful synthesizer riffs (with a dash of original chi-town jack thrown in),it comes on like a particularly cosmic jam session between plone, daniel wang, claro intellecto and larry heard. on the moon. on this evidence, fronas is clearly one to watch. and to add to the magic, we got an amazing remix done by the great & super talented italian producer: simoncino. this is surely going to be one of the biggest releases this year, stay tuned!

a delicious six-tracker from our man from a.n.t.w.e.r.p. featuring remixes from fulgeance, cubic animal and joash and even a smashing house tune by the man himself. tall glass of water kbonus takes it slow this time with >dance baby dance<, a ridiculously groovy slow jam featuring vocals by jtothec, destined to get things shaking around the barbie at garden parties around the globe this summer. fellow antwerp producer cubic animal keeps the tempo but adds some funky abstraction, while french beatmaker fulgeance cuts some minutes, toughens up the beat and throws in some arcade game sounds. british compost darling joash then jazzes up the tune with some fine drumming and double bass. bonus track >strength< is a mean house stomper for the wee small hours of the morning. now thats what we call a six-pack.

first up we have a remix by canadian jeremy glenn (we play house, future classic). jeremy turns marcos cabrals original sweet & sour into an epic deep house masterpiece. its reminiscent of razes break 4 love while sounding modern and fresh

amazing record! whats in the box is a new sublabel of highway records, aimed at releasing high quality contemporary dance music with beautiful deep house and nu disco flavours. witb001 is presented by upcoming russian talent kirill sergeev aka the saint petersburg disco spin club, already known for his releases on such labels as snuff trax and shanti records. remixes are made by vincenzo (bedrock, mobilee, poker flat), mario basanov (2020 vision, needwant, noir music) and ponty mython (nurvous, beats delivery).

fully koded chicagoians traxx and beau wanzer team up for another mutant beat dance release. together they have produced arguably the best 80s chicago house record not made in the 80s. the mutants call it jakbeat, inspired by the early days of house music. tip!!! let me go is as intense and rhythmically inclined as they come. naughty woods sparse vocals cry desperation, almost nearing insanity, which makes up for a pressure cooker like warehouse anthem. rottonfunk is another intense work out which has a killer groove and makes us wander off to the promised land (wherever that is). its delightful to hear that chicago house music this good still gets made. surely when it was released way back when, it would fetch top dollars on the interweb. authentic stuff!
