a return to vr from ben sun, who delves into deeper territory on the original cut, emotive analogue synths washing over a roland drum groove and a swirling female vocal, all underpinned by a warm, rumbling bassline. the flipside features some heavyweight remix work from the prolific deep space orchestra (use of weapons, art, delusions of grandeur) and label mate tyson ballard teaming up with vincenzo (poker flat, dessous). vincenzo and ballards mix is a heavy hitting, moody take on the original, with subtle, dark strings and a growling, evolving bassline, while dso round off the release with trademark fat drums and soaring melodic synth work.

truth & dutty ranks – calling you back: this is a upbeat style track, reminiscent of the older dubstep sound. with a tribal skank and haunted garage style vocal, this is soulful but sub heavy in its own right.

83370 is the first transmission from ollie viero and nico serrus, a pair of french brothers who grew up in a beach town along the coast of the french provence, saint-ayg, which has since become the basis for their name: sinteg. now based in montreal, their collective output has made up the bulk of fur trade recordings signature sound - this sixth label offering is the third to feature one of the two brothers at the helm. they are fresh and prolific and, as such, they are the sound of a new generation of montreal producers. vieros version of house music is upbeat, fiercely layered with percussive latinized shuffles and necksnapping samples. meanwhile, brother mindbend is one of the labels co-founders and has been designing its style and directions since the beginning. together, sinteg is a breeding ground of propulsive dance music punctured with tiny shards of detroit funk and chicago soul, but with the brittle dryness of techno substituting in for the deepness of house.
comes on transparent dark green / smokey marbled vinyl.

we are happy to introduce a brand new act to the scene: dscrd, a young band of five alien electronic music composers from paris, france. in mountain cabins with high range microphones, in dark parisian suburbs with broken synths, and, really lost somewhere in outer space mostly of the time, dscrd have been creating their very own alchemy. this is their debut ep on dement3d records, and it is brilliantly blending techno, dub and ambient-noise with field recordings, dark atmospheres and syncopated rhythms made with poetry and dedication. >this record is a statement, and we are proud to present it as our very first release @ dement3d records.<

andreas reihse is well known since 1994 in his role as musician with kreidler. sometimes he releases club music, for example using his alias april or with detlef weinrich (kreidler, tolouse lowtrax) as binford on labels like italic, onitor or smoothrooms. he also composed soundtracks for artist movies and installations (rosemarie trockel, maximilian zentz zlomowitz, thea djordjadze, andreas gursky, frances scholz/mark von schlegell, among others). romantic comedy is music for dark clubs, for places without much light and oxygen – its driving, percussive dance music. a comedy in six acts: from l.a. to düsseldorf and back. music and lyrics? - pop goes my heart! - of course its a romantic comedy, a bittersweet romance full of memories and a bit of sorrow. >der lange weg nach düsseldorf< the title reminds of mittagspauses der lange weg nach derendorf, derendorf, the district of düsseldorf where andreas reihse and stefan betke / pole in the late 80ies shared a rehearsal room. langeweg also was the adress of the studio of klaus dinger in zeeland. the titles of the other pieces refer to dubious characters that show that the trip on the west coast makes stops in manchester, milano, brussels and london without forgetting charlottenburg and williamsburg. places that hold up against oblivion and reinvent themselves. your club needs you. the cover was designed by artist thea djordjadze

after 18 months of intense work in the studio shades of gray are finally ready to release their debut album >soul machine<. the duo have progressively established themselves over the years by releasing consistently solid tracks for labels such as neurotraxx deluxe, salted music, om records, dark energy, tronicsoul and of course their home label beef records. the album is a definite progression for sog, heading deeper into the sampling territory and drawing on whats come before to define their vision of the future sound of house music. reinterpreting influences from soul to disco through the sharpened lens of 2012 production, sog have delivered a stunning collection of tunes that have that instant classic feel that will remain relevant for years to come. this vinyl sampler features the title track soul machine with a deep interpretation by eric volta aka kid dub. on the flip side we have a party monster called back to the future with a huge disco/tech remix by peter horrevorts who has been doing really well lately with his releases on trapez, tronic and beef - special transparent vinyl pressing!

release number four on upcoming swedish label local talk brings more of that local talk talent, this time we are presenting an ep by swedish producer andreas saag. andreas is no newcomer to the scene, with releases on freerange, a room with a view, rebirth, deepermotions, artizan and tokyo dawn records out and remixes for laurent garnier, joy orbison, portformat and danny howells, he has become a favourite among many djs and producers. his debut for local talk, back to life ep, contains two stunning house jams that aims straight for the dancefloors. the main track is a piano and strings driven house monster that almost sounds like an updated version of >strings of life< but with a deep/tech feel. should be big in the main rooms! on the second track mr saag delivers a house cut that sounds like its straight out of south africa with a raw tech/afro feel. its dark, deep, percussive and 100% house!

abraham cowley is in fact the name for a new house project from simon brown, better known as the dexorcist, plunging deep into a dark, synth and bass-driven retro detroit influenced house vibe.

this single will be advertised in the wire 378 august 2015-05-25 in a full color quarter page ad.
originally released in november 2011, this is the very first single ever to appear on the label. it was produced under the heavy influence of the original chicago footworkers like rp boo, whose influence is obvious in the sounddesign. two tracks written and produced by dj kabra and discarga, the man behind duck n’ cover records. both tracks feature a haunting, dark atmosphere. bones is a tribal graveyard stepper, time for a burial. up is a straight battletrack with pondering drum assaults and viscious stabs.

luciano s cadenza imprint welcome fresh blood into their reputable fold of producers for the stunning debut cadenza ep from davide benedetti. italian davide, better known as davidino, has been making unforgettable impressions over recent years with his spell binding and peak time music, cadenza now proudly introduce davide benedetti and the >through the years< ep. kick starting with hearty kicks and menacing sirens, >can t do this< reeks of euphoria from the offset as tenaciously strung hats slam, cymbal crashes shimmer and tempos accelerates beyond bounds. flooding the dance floor with sheer force, davide plays with the core structure of classic house and techno music in >can t do this< as he builds and breaks for the ultimate fist punching opener. on the flipside, >through the years< presents >moody elise< with a dark and sultry bass line bellowing through the lower end firmly into our memories. chopping the track s structure with immaculate precision, moments of sophisticated brass break as spitting drums bind the groove once more. as always, davide injects his contagious energy into the ep with stomping, modern house music on >moody elise< as it begs for late night tales and debaucherous behaviour.

producer oliver ho aka raudive is not a dark horse. two years after his acclaimed abc ep he returns to rrygular with his new release >love is the devil<. straight and facing forward but also back to the roots somehow. that doesnt need to be a compromise. it is a symbiosis that works absolutely fine in case of this particular 2-tracker. like always the englishman knows how to use percussion elements without getting cheesy. a certain reference to electro is obvious but it underlines the typical dirty raudive sound rather than trying to be referential. but who needs genres anyway? club-disco-techno-house-funk-electro - some kind of monster!

the two dubstep pioneers at the top of their game. the deadly concision, the rhythmic punch and dramatic timing, the spry, side-to-side detailing of a cavernous stage, the crisp-biscuit vocal sampling and middle eastern percussion — together, their sound signatures are not so much totalled as squared. truly an album, the music is multi-levelled — dark as anything at times, but engrossingly varied and emotionally shaded, always on the move.

following his dream ep release last year that featured an amazing j.t.c. remix, juanpablo drops us this time another especial production called mother mountain ep that shows clearly how hard he is pushing to create his own beat. last year his song dream was reviewed by some specialized media as hard to describe but easy to love and we think that the mother mountain track on this record will get a similar description. sea people is the second track and for this song juanpablo has invited spanish producer vinz vincenzo to collaborate with him in the production. this artist has been around for a long time and has made a lot of music in many different types that are far away from electronic genres which gives a plus to the end result of this production. and lastly, we have a remix of mother mountain by the mythic spanish producer arcanoid who has released on labels such as tesla, semantica, etc. his remix is pure techno, very hypnotic, dark and mental but always with his personal touch. probably the most club oriented tune on this record.

a soundtrack for the time of the day when nothing really matters but the music you love. an after-hours musical narrative, crafted in unadulterated authenticity. drivetrain brings on acclaimed writer/vocalist diamondancer, dropping seductive expressions of passion and desire on peppermint kisses, pads and strings provide the enchantment as the sub-bass quakes your body. nate mattimore makes his soiree debute with veteran, todd perrine (the p of the now defunct ph concept) remixing cloudmasterweeds, sunny. after years of individual involvment in the scene, the 2 joined musical forces in 2007 forming a strong production and performing partnership. the mattimoe-perrine remix defines pure, sterilized deepness. blackjacks ever-expanding repetoir of preeminent productions reaches a new level. triaxials impeccable orchestration and grooving bass line effortlessly fuse this late night odyssey. quindrant dub is professor incs dark and techy nocturnal poison. pounding rhythm under mind-bending effects generate proper dance floor dope at the time when you need it most. late night chronicles – music for the bewitching hour.

marking lmd010 we welcome a new artist to the family, mr. bruno pronsato.
lies about nights is an epic futuristic sci-fi techno monster that will eat you up and spit you back out leaving your jaw on the floor and your mind dazed.
truths about days is deeper. powerful bass lines penetrate against a bouncy groove, jazzy undertones harmonize while beautiful moaning vocals and lush synth lines will make you want to get down and dirty. its sexy dark and mysterious yet deep sensual and moving, lies about nights, truths about days shows bruno at his finest!

stephane signore delivers an excellent record called >we live in a world of ba57ard ep< chordy and firm techno that will rock in venues with good soundsystem. with long an well constructed builds on the opening track called bad trip. this is a vinyl that will no doubt get support from larger names in the industry. the second track is the stanny franssen remix of ba57ard. this is a nice rolling remix with a lot of dynamics and way more uplifting that the original. for the 3rd track on the ep we find this original piece. this is a very deep somewhat chaotic production, this might just be the eps winning track. with a strong arrangement and little vocal edits this will no doubt get played alot. for the closing track we have got >paranoid< the title covers the load, strong dark techno music that will rock your world.

originally released in 1985 for chris carters >mondo beat< lp on conspiracy international, >moonlight< is getting a long-overdue single release of the original and reinterpretation from neurotic drum band. a long-time fave of jd twitchs, >moonlight< was a hit in the late 80s with a much-slowed down bootlegged version on the belgian new beat scene and amongst the italian cosmic djs. the ny duo of ulysses and john selway, aka neurotic drum band, recreate >moonlight< keeping the original feel, slowing it down just a touch and ultra cosmic-a-fying it for an ultra-headtrip psychedelic spaceflight! as a special bonus, there is a digital-only remix from oneohtrix point never. its the sort of drone, dark ambient sound that fans of opns daniel lopatin know and love. bliss out… for those who may not know, chris carter is one of the founding members of throbbing gristle, partner with cosey fanni tutti (knows as carter-tutti and formerly recording as chris & cosey) and has been working with sound for over 40 years. for an extensive biography and up-to-date info about his current projects.

we are delighted to announce the release of outfits first single >two islands<. we first heard the band a few months ago with their dark mini-narratives >killer< and >every night i dress up as you<. while those two songs offered a slightly hidden introduction to the group their subtle transmissions step out into plain view on >two islands<. the song is slow building, euphoric, and meditates on loneliness, absence and the constant flickering of real life.

trust now is the keystone album of brooklyns prince rama. the album takes the kaleidoscopic mysticism of ancient devotional music and focuses it through the fierce urgency and archetypal language of pop, forming an environment that is both accessible and impenetrable. deep synths rise from a sparkling sea of gamelans and prayer bells as tribal drums pound the earth with the hypnotic power to heal or destroy. voices carry captivating and haunting melodies that shine like the diamond jewels of old bollywood soundtracks spilling over dark wave dance floors.
first conceived as a ritual to be performed live, the songs were fittingly recorded inside a 19th century church in seattle by scott colburn (sun city girls, animal collective, arcade fire). as their 5th full-length album, and first as a duo, trust now is perhaps prince ramas most focused, cohesive and powerful album to date.
comes with code for free digital download of this album.

brand new project from orphx partner rich oddie. features colour insert in clear poly bag. strong release for fans of early basic channel ! for over twenty years, rich oddie has been making electronic and experimental music as a key member of a wide range of projects and bands, ranging from ambient to industrial, techno to punk. the most well known of these is orphx, a long running collaboration with partner christina sealey that has gained widespread acclaim for their pioneering fusion of industrial, techno, and electro. richs other projects span across experimental and psychedelic music: antiform (ambient / electro-acoustic), closing sale (synthpop), magic shadows (garage punk), o/h (power electronics), and oureboros (ambient / black metal). surface is delighted to release richs very first solo ep with two tracks that dig deep into his trademark aesthetic of dark droning atmospheres, dubbed out sound manipulation, and relentless rhythms.

full drumming, a grumpy chord sound embraced from a dark, rebelling melody line like out of the old rave days and the demanding voice from the massive track internal, which calls the >soldier< with his name. remixer rolf mulder mills with darkly digging sequences and creaky acid effects sharp edged points in the sole of the dancers, so that these also find enough hold on the slant melodies. >skydive< makes in the matter of grooving also thick cheeks. the track rumbles more and more elegantly than stoic through the space and pulls from the propulsive combination of the vocal-hookline and the harmony changes a well-arranged serving of pop flair which cuts the darkness of the night with a flashing blade from light. toureaus impact version of >skydive< serves 8-bit like clicking in the treble area, swears to the rhythmical spirit of the good old days and asks him for a bouncing dance on the floors in the here and now.

ultraphat dark and pumping 2 track ep

another well produced reeko ep on planet rhythm. this is dark angry techno music that should be played only at loud volume. the title track >bad connection< is a raw nervous track on a somewhat slower pace that will definitely get people dancing. especially for all those raves that last until 7 in the morning this is one for the peak hours. >look at me< is a jumpy non 4/4 techno rhythm with cool effects and chords, the rising synth at the end of each loop is a nice look. >in a different world< and >restart< are both tracks that fit perfectly in this new prruk record. good producers know how to build an ep in a way that it feels like chronological soundtrack. reeko knows exactly how to do this.

following their remix of ludwig coenen for tlm022 and a string of celebrated releases for nachtstrom schallplatten and perc trax, toronto s frederik hatsav and jamie kidd rejoin the thoughtless fold under their metalogic guise. enlisting new york techno veteran dietrich schoenemann on the title track, the trio delivers a sleek combo of pure analog bass and metallic percussion, resulting in an unrelenting yet stripped-down futuristic club workout. overseeing remix duties is techno legend bryan zentz. his first of two solutions, the empty vessel dub dives deep into late-night territory, employing the irresistible bass line of the original and embellishing it with sparse synth work and echoing atmospheres to stunning effect. as a digital bonus, zentz offers up the kenosis shuffle mix, providing added bounce with a boosted low-end while taking a house-leaning approach in the drum department and adding detroit-style stabs for good measure. on the flip, dark shines is a heady ride, intoxicant atmospheres and dynamic yet subtle arrangements solving as a mystical techno prime. whether exploring the outer reaches of modern techno or twisting up their uniquely abstract take on tech-house, the result is pure quality..

this fall dumb unit returns with what is sure to become a household name in electronica: thomas feriero aka avatism. known recently for his moody releases on labels such as mike shannon s haunt and tiefschwarz s souvenir, his dark yet hopeful productions are already receiving plaudits by some of the scenes top artists. opening the doors to new musical members has not been a common occurrence at du which therefore means that this release must be something special indeed. and it is. dark, brooding yet full of energy and substance. all tracks hit with a welcome hint of catchiness and hooks embracing what is current in dance music today, without losing sight of the label or the artists individuality. 4 quality tracks of equal stature command full attention on this ep. one of the the labels most exciting releases to date and one which signifies a strong 2012 ahead!

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

since the last senking album >pong< (r-n122) was a great success in 2010 and sold out quickly raster-noton swiftly asked for a follow-up of massels sound cosmos. on >tweek< senking again reveals his sense of cineastic atmospheres and dark abysmal depths of sound, which are subordinate to extremely slow choky basses and delayed beats. references to dubstep are rather the result of testing the outlying areas of the frequency spectrum than a direct relation to the genre. nevertheless it seemed very obvious to release senkings sound on 12inch vinyl to follow the footsteps of >plasticstar< (r-n081) and >pruitt igoe< (r-n124), >tweek< is meant to be a dj-tool for a club environment. >tweek< refers to a character of the well known us series >southpark<, who plays with feelings of incertitude and nervous decease. the album documents the eagerness to experiment and indicates astonishing ideas shining through the dark substance. the tracks even reveal cheerful and comical features.
