detroit house at its best. amazing high tech jazz influenced 4 tracker by orlando b. after hearing orlando bs 2 full eps on germanys yore records, ric mcclelland & sean grieve head hunted the scottish producer for their seven music label. orlandos first outting on the belfast imprint was at the start of 2012 with a remix of giorgio luceris >one more time<. not content with just a remix, seven music asked orlando for some original works and here we have the >city life ep<. 4 tracks of chicago and detroit inspired goodness! the scottish producer and dj started making music at the age of 15 using an atari and notator sl. inspired by artists such as jeff mills, the advent, dave clarke and ian pooley, orlando began his career making techno. fast forward to 2012, orlandos studio is predominantly analogue based and his sounds have progressed to a deeper and more retrospective house sound. with 4 original tracks (1 of which is exclusive to the 12inch vinyl) the >city life ep< is arguably orlandos finest work to date. timeless yet forward thinking electronic music with soul and a record that deserves a place in any discerning djs collection!

we are very proud and honered to release this ep by function aka dave sumner from sandwell district. one of technos true underground heroes, function (dave sumner) has been djing and making music for over 15 years. hailing from new york, he was seduced by techno music when jeff mills held a residency (as well as his own first) at the limelight in the early 90s. dave started to produce music and from the mid-90s onwards, put out music on damon wilds synewave and his own infrastructure imprint. together with regis (karl o connor) he worked as portion reform, putting out uncompromising music on downwards and becoming the only non-birmingham producer to release on the label. in 2008 dave moved to berlin, still working with regis, and now silent servant (john mendez), put his focus on the acclaimed sandwell district imprint. obsessed is a supper powerfull floating track for the dancefloor, a typical function production. this ep also contains remixes from substance and scb aka scuba, both peak-time tracks.

last time out, much love impressed djs and record buyers the world over with a sought-after 12 inch featuring tracks from james johnston, bartellow, roman rauch and label owners alkalino & alphabet city.
for the label s third release, much loves bossmen take a backseat and hand the reigns over to a quartet of emerging and up-and-coming production talents. the results are, thankfully, every bit as intoxicating as previous releases.
four tracks, four hot talents, four killers. much love all round.

the prism is an aluminum cube, small enough to fit in your palm. it was designed by nicolas jaar as a new medium for releasing music. the first release - csa001 - features twelve (mostly) unreleased songs from jaar and other clown & sunset collaborators. the prism is a piece of art in and of itself, its contents beg to be shared. twin headphone outlets encourage connections to the object and between the two listeners. the prism tries to restore physicality to the listening experience. the medium and the method are as important as the music itself. the prism makes you consider how the music is being heard, the way the object feels in your hands, and its potential to foster intimacy between listeners. when the prism is unplugged, a beam of light passes through the empty center, revealing a void. someone is missing.

terra incognita (noun/lat.ter-rah in-kawg-ni-tah) : 1. discovering and exploring new – aquatic – territories (terra incognita), 2. watching a super hero surf inside a big blue tube (dave kalama), 3. experiencing a fascinating meeting with a giant manta ray (ray manta) 4. feeling of in- tense and pure sensation by closely observing a ballet of sharks, whether its an illusion created by the rapture of the deep or not (dance with the sharks). ray manta couldnt have emerged to feel the light of the positive sun without the transatlantic collaboration with chahe demian, aka blufarm. mastered by lupo at dubplates & mastering

a welcome,fresh and high-quality collection of obscencely rare and desirable 45s including bonus 7 single

played and supported by kenny larkin, adam x, perc, norman nodge, drumcell, truncate, samuel l session, inigo kennedy, dadub, max_m, bcr boys, forward strategy group, d.carbone, claudio prc, electric indigo, conrad van orton, dave ellesmere and more. freddy k is an icon of the historic italian techno scene. in 90s his productions were on the historic acv records label. then over the years has always been one of the key points of the techno scene, with record music stores, radio shows (virus) and new labels like the historic elettronica romana (he was one of two minds that created this label, with sandro nasonte). his experience led him to be behind many current projects, he moved to berlin. this time it wants to make its contribution on his own label which is already out talents like conrad van orton and shapednoise (and its only the beginning). a label on vinyl only! here begins a series in 10 inch!

arjun vagale has played alongside such heavyweights as fergie, sasha, dave seaman, paolo mojo, cari lekebusch and kasey taylor, while his live act, jalebee cartel, has shared headlining spots with the likes of the prodigy, modeselektor and carl cox. his knowledge and use of technology in the booth is second to none, often adding drum machines and samplers to create uniquely raw, funk-laden techno sets.

hush arbors and arbouretum have each been exploring for years now the intersection of progressive folk and psychedelic rock, albeit filtered through their own distinct sounds. it was only a matter of time before their paths would cross. keith wood and dave heumann met at a show in baltimore and discovered their mutual appreciation for each others music. the two bands planned a joint european tour, and recorded aureola to further showcase and celebrate their complimentary sounds.

lirum larum is a brand new joint of >efdemin< and >rndm< who are better known as >pigon< when they team-up in the studio or behind the decks. always riding the thin line between house and techno with a twist for the obscure they decided to have their own imprint from now on. lirum larum will publish music of their own project, from friends and other partners in crime. in that regard the first release is the perfect prototype of what can be expected in the future. the 1st release features a composition of their own in two mindblowing interpreations. no other than >function< (dave sumner of the splendid sandwell collective) and >tobias.< (who released a totally underrated outstanding album in ostgut last year!) provide their interpretations of pigons track >kamm< (originally released on beatstreet in 2008).

label like soma records, universal, get physical and also highgrade, all contribute to the impressive credentials of the spaniard, prompts breathtaking live sets and releases. but prompt, himself the founder of his own label 7noise, is never one to rest on his laurels: instead he continues to push boundaries with his new live project: the prompt live band, a fusion of electronic sound production and jazz. this is not the first such step for the clasically trained musician, with his onuba project he has already mixed the flamenco sound of home country with electronic music. the three tracks to be released on highgrade records, created in collaboration with the chop suey quartet, bring to life what would appear to be almost impossible: a real connection between the highly concentrated nature of electronic rhythms and the loose and improvised sounds of jazz instrumentation. the result is a very special kind of studio jam session: victor tarín on piano, david blanco on bass, daniel del val on the drums - and prompt on a computer! with so much pasion for musical innovation on show, its no wonder that highgrade co-boss todd bodine wanted to get his fingers into the pie and deliver his own remix for the ep

andres zacco & marco zenker, rosario & munich, argentina vs germany. an old football classic since ever again. in this case here its less about vs or vst, way more about teaming up for a split ep and wiping on another debate between daves place and pompaks knee shirt. while andres is selling knee shirts every summer at rosario citys hotspot el putito del calore, marco could directly move into dave s place as he spent more time there in 2011 then daves couch. must be the schlachthof vibe or simply daves roomate cooking for the boys. simply wonderful mix between bavarian & argentinan carnecerias. the cuts are huge and fat as always. played by everyone instead of nobody. grazie per tutti - esperanza label el records.

massive stuff! early praise and support from: thomas schumacher, martin landsky, john tejada, jimpster, ben watt, anthony collins, varoslav and dave aju among others. deep, dank and dusty is the name of the game for bad animals second vinyl release. san franciscos safeword (marc smith and clint stewart) have been on a tear since forming last year in san francisco. right off the bat they ve hit a stride with releases on fine labels such as dessous, paso music and are currently remixing for the mighty mobilee. this, their debut ep on bad animal titled >west portal< weaves down more soulful yet dark avenues. deep vibes, smooth synths and silky vocals are perfectly accompanied by heavy, churning rhythms and tasteful reflections of acid house. the legendary smash tv lend their expertise to round off the ep with an acid house monster of a party jam. while still retaining the dusty soul of the original material, the berlin-based duo has brought their >midas touch< to bad animal with this golden rework.

die letzte fsoj vol. 11 ist schon fünf jahre her, die erste kam 1995 raus. ich habe das gefühl die zeit dreht zurück. ein bischen erinnern mich die tracks - vor allem die langsamen stücke, wie so mancher sound - an die ersten >future sounds of jazz< compilations. ich kann sagen, ich hatte eine gewisse leerstelle von 2007 bis ende 2010, sah weder die notwendigkeit, noch hatte ich lust empfunden, eine neue fsoj zu machen. es gab seit 2007 schon den ein oder anderen tollen track, aber nicht genug, um gleich eine compilation daraus zu zimmern. zugegeben war ich, wie viele andere, mehr dem disco-, edit- und deep house-fieber verfallen. bin ich immer noch, aber die musik fusioniert wieder stärker mit den vibes, die ich für fsoj suchte.
es begann in 2010, festigte sich in 2011, ein déjà-vu ritt mich plötzlich, der viel beschworene zeitgeist wehte wieder. haufenweise gute tracks, interessante projekte, die von der Ästhetik, vom sound und feeling den frühen 90ern, oder meinem gutdünken ihre reminiszenzen aufwiesen. immerhin sind seit der vol. 1 schon zwei generationen nachgewachsen, sagt man doch, daß alle sieben jahre eine neue generation entsteht. ich denke, die jüngeren projekte (z.b.: lo tide aus australien, anchorsong und ragout delapin beides projekte aus japan, scrimshire, letherette, laszlo, sepalcure, eden) die hier vertreten sind, spiegeln das eindrücklich wieder.

lisa shaw has been a proven staple in the deep house world. she helped define an era with her releases on naked music, and continues to create timeless gems. both albums >cherry< & >free< take it back to the basics, while >sweet and simply< taking it beyond. lisa looks forward to the future of her music career and strives for a constant push to explore modern sounds but most important is keeping the essence behind the music no matter how it changes.

joey negro is the most well-known pseudonym of master british dj/producer/remixer dave lee. under a plethora of other monikers including jakatta, akabu, doug willis, raven maize, the sunburst band, sessomatto, and z factor, dave was one of the first artists to incorporate disco samples in house music when he began his production career in 1988. indeed, he was in the studio making credible and outstanding british house music when many luminaries around him were still busy getting to grips with their decks. in 2011 little has changed and dave is widely regarded as one of the most commercially successful and in-demand artists on the global scene

>let life dance thru you< reveals itself as a safari of live played percussion, instruments and sounds. the duo create here a biotope of sounds that interact with each other... like a live band would do… at times almost arabesque sounding this track is full of mysterious soundscapes... jazzy played instruments... flutes running havoc... it could as well be: a spiritual voodoo session from the 70ies!
the whole sound selection if it would be described in colors, would be dark brown, black... with bits of gold. no shiny lights or illuminated plains. almost 11.00 minutes long this track is a real journey and certainly for the people who know rather than feeding djs.

david nizet has been around in the belgian underground techno scene for ages, we mean early nineties. he was part of the 6th sense collective during the mid 90s with releases on dave angels rotation and the legendary belgian label re-load records. despite a detroitish nostalgic touch in his productions, small modern minimalist influences gently creep in to all his tracks to turn them into brilliant pieces of never outdated, or should we say evergreen, techno.
with past releases on aesthetik, mowar, labrynth and played by marcel fengler, markus suckut, matt o brien, jamie behan, .. (the list is too long actually), he is definitely up there with the big ones.
