respected black dance music dj, jo wallace, was commissioned to create a bespoke track to accompany this summers must see exhibition return of the rudeboy by its creators, dean chalkley and harris elliott. in order to deliver the track in a limited vinyl format, jo had to create a label. thus, ramrock was born. paying homage to the glorious heyday of jamaican rocksteady, jo tailored the sound to fit the flavour of the exhibition - more argyle socks than on the rocks. gathering together the production skills of the legendary ashley beedle, the talents of musical supremo darren morris and the mighty mc doxman, jo oversaw the whole project in the studio even lending a hand on backing vocals and percussive teacup.gentleman rudeboy is a track that will continue to fill dancehalls for many years to come. welcome to the world of ramrock

vanessa (a dreamer) is the second 12 inch from brooklyn-based artist divvorce on fifth wall, the imprint he founded last february with hound scales. drawing influence from such pretentious sources as franz kafka, the early work of darren aronofsky, and a solitary walk through the streets of paris during fashion week, the ep consists of two compact slices of techno(?) and two remixes. first is the meandering, dreamlike *wander 7*, followed by the truculent but jubilant *roquentins release* and finishing with remixes by fellow fifth wall artists physical therapy and unklone.

alcis three part series titled early beginnings draws to a close and firmly cements the young swiss producer as a house music star in the making. alcis first ever demo was sent to phil weeks at the start of 2013, and so impressed was the robsoul chief that he instantly signed all 10 tracks to the label. alci, robsoul and phil weeks are an ideal match, as this third installment shows once again, with his funky, looped, sample-based and heads-down jacking house beats aligning perfectly with both phils and the labels philosophy and output. its also clear to hear the influence of the classic french house sound & robsouls interpretation of it in alcis music. the first two volumes in the early beginnings series picked up support from mosca (radio 1 play), darren emerson, roberto rodriguez, round table knights, matthias vogt, dirty channels, catz n dogz, rolando, hot toddy and many more

ltd 2013 repress
prime numbers return with m7. the first side is taken by a remix of wireman’s >armour<, the original of which was included on pn04 released at the end of last year. the remix is from move d (deep space network, source records), he ups the tempo and in trademark fashion softens the surfaces of the original, warming the core of the track whilst creating a bass heavy groove with twisting beats, synths and a husky hypnotic vocal sample. the flip includes two tracks. to start we have >crushed< by actress. darren j. cunningham aka actress runs the much lauded werk records and this track is taken from his limited cd only album >hazyville< (released on werk in the autumn of last year ) >crushed< is slo-mo, extra bass heavy, low slung house with an addictive lofi synth riff and submerged strings. the track bumps along with hiss and crackle to good affect before turning into a badalamenti-esque loop to finish. to round things off be, the up & coming manchester based producer provides >when you left<. be cut his teeth with the chicago based still music and a great al hudson reedit which found extensive dj support on its release. >when you left< is a shuffling downbeat house groove with a jazz sentiment featuring deep rhodes keys and clipped drums, the track breaks up into a bluesy accapella section then builds up to a more direct 4/4 groove to the end

it is no exaggeration to say that deadmau5 is the most exciting name in clubland right now. here 1981, gets re-worked from some of the best in the biz: sasha carassi, mike vale & jerome robin, lissat & voltaxx mix and julian jeweil. four massive tracks on blue wax!

on kdm008 the label honchos kaiserdisco come with a two tracker in their typical funky rollin style. supported by nic fanciulli, m.a.n.d.y., stacey pullen, slam, stephan bodzin, christian smith, pig & dan, psycatron, mauro picotto, darren emerson, karotte, monika kruse, alan fitzpatrick, dubfire, michel de hey, yousef, danny howells and many more.

a - side: i love my lady (the black bahia version) ashley reworks an unreleased collaboration between chic and lounge legend johnny mathis. what ?!!!! this has summer anthem written all over it. beedle waves his magic wand over this future classic beach groove to create a joyful sing-a-long. b - side: addis ababa (afrikanz on marz kosmik rework ) ashley and his musical partner darren morris add their trippy aom vibes to this rare studio one classic to create an afro/reggae/drone/psychedelic monster. it pulls you in and does not let you out. this is an essential rework for all the true heads out there.

south london producer darren cunninghams new album, r.i.p, underlines actresss reputation as one of the most eloquent voices to emerge from the sub-bass nexus of london dance music. his intuitive and original grasp of beats, textures and rhythm puts him on a parallel path to dance music innovators such as drexciya, t++, aphex twin, autechre, burial and basic channel. absolutely essential release by one of the most exciting producers of the 21st century.

pulp disco & the outcasts - overnight to dusseldorf is the latest release on ashley beedles out hear audio imprint. put together in it s original sublime whoozy electronic form it was passed to mr. beedle who then took up the space baton with his studio partner darren morris to create the kommune mixes. with a nod to can, talking heads and some raucous psychedelic punk funk, the boys have whipped up two dancefloor killers that compliment the kosmische referencing original.

played by: monika kruse, carlo lio, gregor tresher, tassilo, joris voorn, karotte, kaiserdisco, mauro picotto, hernan cattaneo, darren emerson and many more. the one thing that perhaps ties all of dj simis multifarious sounds and aliases together is his passion for distinct drums. his new sci+tec single >green twister< certainly fits. beginning with a stripped back, fuzzy bleep groove, the cut soon becomes a mechanized dancefloor workout thanks to a clear militaristic drum solo. this is classic simi. instead of building tension through sound fx or digital trickery, as so much of todays techno tends to do, >green twister< creates its dancefloor euphoria from a much simpler place: a drum pattern change. for the remix of >green twister<, sci+tec roped in naples danilo vigorito. vigoritos remix is straight up techno jacker. he builds a moody and intense atmosphere around the distinct drums of simis original. its a dark and foreboding club sound.

played by dominik eulberg, adam beyer, ewan pearson, joris voorn, gabriel ananda, karotte, carlo lio, sebrok, martin eyerer, gregor tresher, monika kruse, stephan bodzin, troy pierce, darren emerson,.. ideal audio 019 again sees the coming together of two of modern technos super powers. having first stepped into the studio back in 2008 to bring us the mighty >diablo< (cocoon), dubfire and ideal boss oliver huntemann kicked off one of the most exciting production partnerships of today. the success of >diablo< encouraged the pair to continue their studio relationship - not an easy task with such hectic touring schedules.

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË
