based out of philly m//r delivers his second transmission for l.i.e.s. tip! out of the gate dread nox hits hard with dusty breaks and bizarre buried vocal samples blasting through over a dark ambience clattering about the track. portals following with a similar progression nasty drums and creeping strings moving the cut along, while tea and oranges closes with a stepping cadence which will undoubtedly resonate with certain djs. another strong outing from this up and coming artist.

rome native marco piovesan is a dj’s producer. his driving style, pristine sound quality and nuanced tones makes his techno of the variety that draws bodies to the dance floor, and keeps them there. 2013 was his breakout year which saw releases land on gynoid audio, m_rec ltd.. that same year piovesan launched his own enterprise, h.omevvork recordings, as a haven for richly emotive techno music imbued in ‘90s spirit. to date it’s three ep’s have been remixed by luminaries such as giorgio gigli, daub and m_rec ltd’s sadly departed chief max_m. piovesan joined the key roster soon after as part of a split ep with another (then) up-and-comer, hector oaks. his two works, “black paranoid 7” and “black paranoid 10”, were clean, steely dj fodder underscored with a dark energy that made both of them potent club weapons. now piovesan returns with four cuts of surging, remorseless marching material design to tear up strobe-lit basements and big room halls alike. for djs who take no prisoners, who enjoy calling on the old techno ghosts too.

the neustadtmusik brother-duo dietrich & strolch present their new release nipl & tipl” - a fresh, bold and dreamy package straight for the dance floor. nipl” starts with a thick bassline and mutates into a real peak time gem. its slowly screwing acid elements drive it to the maximum with pure excitement until the last kick. -tipl” builds a mystical, musical landscape, where rolling bass, driving drums and a melancholic piano meet with delicate percussion resulting in a quality afterhour vibed track. dutch artist lilith (art of dark, memoria recordings) unites both tracks elegantly creating a fresh remix -nipltipltriple- and adds the subtle essence of a shot breakbeat making it a killer tune.

emotional especial and cocktail d amore music enter cahoot-mode once again with a second round of sfire remixes that take proceedings down a deeper, more stripped-back path courtesy of the inimitable timothy j fairplay and willie burns. two artists who need little introduction offer up two remixes each that take the unique original to new dance floor extremes. timothy steps up first with his take on -sfire 2- via differing vocal and instrumental versions. his trademark, echo laden rolling percussion and john carpenter-style key lines take the original synth-pop homage to the dark room. adding arps, a lifting, hedonistic breakdown and the scatter-stepper drums and claps found on the instrumental version and this is pure cotf territory and the better for it. mr willie burns meanwhile has long followed his own path for his take on -sfire 3-, offering one of his deepest remixes to date. thudding kick, brooding pads and dark strings force the vocals to go down, way down for examination. the distorted vocals of remix 1 are countered by remix 2 letting the track shine via a seemingly endless 4/4 beat. psychedelic, trance inducing, pulsating, this is an ever growing mind expanse.

hey, do you remember how much dance music owes to experiment and coincidence????? quirky 7 release from lutto lento is kind of danceable but also raw and harsh, maybe hypnotic? first track sounds like a dark twisted fantasy about carnival in some cheap tropical spa. the other one will reach your guts and throw them upside down. hell yeah.

attic laqs series continues with the owner of gravite records bruno sacco. his work starts with some grainy-noisey grooves in a danceable rhythm and pressurized synths. in the b-side sacco turns into a nine minutes deep techno track imaginaria. a dark corridor where different shades of pads get a conversation with an acidic chord in a lighted nocturnal way.

detroit enigma sharif laffrey makes a return to paramidas berlin-based love on the rocks imprint with pony ep. the two track ep marks his second release with the label (following key jam (a.c.i.d.) and his third release in three years - something of a roll for laffrey who typically allows years to pass between each outing.over 9 minutes of what sounds like nineties 4/4 indian acid-house bass music - in the best way. surprising vocals & a healthy 3 minute lead in. b-side: pony roger’ if the pony you were riding on the a-side was galloping through a grassy meadow - this pony heads into a dark cave. if the a-side is the never ending story then the b-side is the dark crystal. but with prince instead of bowie. sharif laffrey has been playing records and making music for 20 long hard years. born in detroit, michigan - hes worked on the line checking camshafts for chryslers & at submerge for mike banks - at the same time. he toured asia with juan atkins and once had to chase a grown man through the streets at night, who had crawled into his living room through an open window. an active member in detroits early rave scene, sharif remembers booking all foreign gigs with something he calls a fax machine.

we are glad to introduce you cht 7th release from our boss leon with the collaboration of berlin based artist david gtronic. the original >untitled 01< is a percussive techno tune with dark grooves and sub basslines. our romanian friends ada kaleh and nu zau have came up with two very special remixes. inside this ep you can find also a track called >rave 5< taken from the leons album >rave on< and remixed by the uk duo mr. tophat and art alfie. artwork by daniele troiani as usual. enjoy! 180g & vinyl only.

is this hard techno ? is this hardcore ? is this tribe ? is this mental ? is this dancefloor ? ambiances and beats... impossible fadeways... never surrender to the dark side... but always explores it in its shadyest corners...

this second release on nsp music features our roster artists : cØmpass and mtd.
the first one released his first praised ep (12 ) in 2015 on mutewax. it expresses and develops a techno with berlin’s accents and dark influences, hypnotic and industrial. the melodies are entrancing and give another dimension to his music.
nicolas belligoli alias mtd is one of the founders of the label sonntag morgen. he expresses and develops a techno / dub with dark, melancholic and industrial influences. his melodies are sharp and give a new and powerful rhythm. he was noted for the quality of his release (affin record, abstract animal, arts digital...) especially for his work on nachtstrom schallplatten in 2015 (“substances & perceptions” double lp).

repress! three massive rollers by jth from the golden era of (real) tech-house. all of them still sound fresh, organic and forceful. just spin these dark gems and your crowd will be immensely grateful.

the second of two zentrum spinoffs is with us! as with the first, it comes loaded with four remixes. octo octa, vito & druzzi, cooper saver and turbotito, and lemonade all handed in top-notch reimaginings of tracks off jacques renault s debut lp, which came out just under a year ago, and they all somehow manage to be unique unto themselves while also sublimely bleeding into one another. octo octas rendering of mi casa samba serves as a propulsive beginning thats as dark and druggy as it is sharp and focused. vito & druzzis take on faith runs in a similar vein, but in a more stripped-back, drawn-out, and patient sort of way, it is nearly ten minutes long, so this is perhaps not a surprise. the b s remixes are brighter, sunnier, though that s not to say they re not bold. cooper saver and turbotito s redo of words has a certain funky swing to it that, paired with spacey synths and balearic bells and whistles, makes it ideal daytime disco fodder. the lemonade boys close the ep with their vibey take on faith. pads for days, a plump bass, and a focus on the original s sax make you wonder if the song itself somehow got stoned from a couple extra giant bong rips. a fitting way to end both the 12inch and the summer.
