part 2/3! deep house – uh killer?! dear gorge just like we know him. hardly anyone puts so much energy into a yet so low key appearing track and this is what we love him for. gorge was a history witness for our biggest light installation and the most oppulent feast, as is his right. certified ass-shaking tune with a joyous organ going hand in hand with a female vocal. there is no more to say about this track as it speaks for itself. reminiscing igors 10 minute intro in combat gear at the treibgut deluxe. some push did jonas put into this few minute collaboration track with mz sunday luv. it has to be loud, it has to run – it has to take its place on this compilation. homebased in frankfurt jonas was so fond of hannover at a time that he almost moved north. but we could not afford the hotel room for such a long time. deep house making you get rid of your jacket and shake your hips together. get yourself a drink at the bar and head for the dancefloor. nicely smooth this track is driving you into the night. the only night we actually had champagne and still could all make it to the train to hamburg in the morning.

plays and support from: mandy, matthew dear, tobi neumann, shaun reeves, luciano, lee burridge, thugfucker, bill patrick, lee curtiss, subb-an, butch, dubfire, manik, huxley, droog,..

ladies and gentlemen, dear audience, 2012 is the year of boxer. and it has already been 10 years since frank martiniq came up with >adriano<. for boxer, this was a fantastic kick-start into the international and national music world, and up to now, you can still enjoy its traces engraved on the asphalt. we would like to celebrate this little, yet significant event—on vinyl and of course with you! with streamers, confetti, and with four artists which are particularly dear to us: robag wruhme, von spar, lexy/shades of gray and le dust sucker. an alluring aperitif to start 2012.

funky and laid back jazz constructed house tracks with spacy dimension by dewalta. we are very happy to release such a fantastic long player which keeps alive our dear paris-berlin connection and our taste for subtle melange between jazz and house music. both tracks malbec and syrah will bring you far on the dancefloor like a good wine does with its fine and deep flavours of fruits and whatever it can tell about the history of its ground. david koch under his artist name dewalta persuades first on the a side with malbec. a dry clap introduces to the affair, short followed by a kick and a driving funky deep baseline which could be far enough to convince any dj fan of minimal hypnotic loops. having set up that strong base, he plays then carefully some light but brillant layers of jazzy arrangements. santé! syrah, follows up in a more trippy way performing a jazzy and elegant journey which destination is certainly somewhere in the cosmos. mastered and cutted by mike grinser at the berlin studio man made mastering.

hailing from a maelstrom of reinvention, reckless idealism, and rainbow-chasing known as los angeles, puro instinct are the psychedelic pop discovery thats about to make your year look a while lot stronger. the speech marks come courtesy of their mouthpiece, 24-year-old piper kaplan, who joined by her 16-year-old sister skylar have cut one of the most striking and formidable pairings on the west coast indie-rock circuit in recent years. together, they have created a sound thats already made the year for all kinds of esteemed folks all around the world, from the likes of gorilla versus bear in the states to dear old blightys nme,as their debut long-player headbangers in ecstasy dawned upon them.

our japanese dear friend hidenobu ito is definitely overwhelming and it seems almost comically out of place. from alien hydraulics to percussive steel fractals he allows to take shape within the realm of impossibility. so, what follows next on numbolic records is a stunning lesson in subtle buildup of sound design. theres a feeling of constant movement and shaky energy that means his music never quite stands still. highly resonant and rapidly-panning drum hits act like flickering fluorescent lights. the result is a heavily abstracted layering and perhaps our most sonically release to date. every sound, no matter how tiny, is endlessly tweaked and picked apart. the 12 inch ep is rounded off with 2 prickly re-interpretations. dualism turns up the fog with a super-deep captivating and yet lovingly version. while ditch comes up with a characteristic throbbing dirty techno rework. another 4 smashing tracks by hidenobu ito are added digitally as well as two bonus remixes. kai provides a dance floor-approved version and the hungarian newcomer as we said made a cartoon spaceship to the moon. big pulsating bass kicks will drive you in that particular head-space, but before accidentally killing someone in love, we suggest go get this record instead and start dance! be numbolic!

in an effort to help our dear friends in japan, esp institute presents part 1 in a ltd vinyl stash, all proceeds going to japan relief efforts. cos/mes brings a triumphant theatrical vocal stomper on side a with hey yah and ene label boss chida drops a dark dubby pumper on the flip with danca. sure to fly off the shelves, ltd edition red vinyl, no repress, enjoy!

cologne based collective laut & luise is happy to present you its first release. right on time with summers peak coming, berlins dürerstuben made two tracks perfectly fitting to the running season: >sonnenblut am platz der perlen< (a1) combines the gloomy atmosphere of the last winter and the warm feeling of todays sun to create an absolutely outstanding piece of music. >tira mi su< (a2) eases up on the tempo to let you catch a breath and enjoy the day with some hip-house, as the two guys call it. last but not least our dear friend constantijn lange provides us with a more fast paced version of >sonnenblut am platz der perlen< (b1), giving it a more clubby appeal without losing the vibe of the original track.

in just a matter of months, life and death has swiftly established itself as purveyors of quality contemporary dance music, made by artists who would undoubtedly make anyone s short list of who i d like to invite to my afterparty . it seems only fitting then that with their newest release they ve recruited the undisputed kings of late night mayhem and madness for a paen tribute to that beautiful party after the party, the continuation of all things good and twisted.. the afterparty itself. not to take the issue of such a joyful celebration lightly, dop has gone on secret missions over the last 6 months, quietly (and often not so quietly) infiltrating afterparties worldwide and secretly extracting pituitary secretions from the rowdiest party goers at each of them. they then took these secretions, burned them in a special voodoo ceremony and immediately went into the studio to create a fitting tribute to the after-hours festivities we all hold so dear. once that was complete, friends were invited and even more deviants came to the party for some dirty late night remix action. clockwork (who s recently released it s you again on hot creations has already been the soundtrack to many an after party) are here, french wolf+lamb collaborator le loup is here, mas collective (who recorded on seminal nyc label strictly rhythm) is here and marius & david are here too.. everybody giving it their own special flavor. what an afterparty indeed.

we are back for another slab of genre-defying, ass-kicking, booty-shaking, timeless underground beats. get the curse music 07 features two cuts from the mysterious crackboy and two remixes from rising star gesaffelstein & toronto’s james teej. the question of crackboy’,s identity is burning everyone’s lips. who’s hiding behind this oh-so poetic moniker? theories abound, and rumor has it crackboy was last seen smoking on his pipe in the filthiest dens of the parisian underbelly. efforts to trace him since then have proved fruitless and until the next sighting, the enigma remains.
in spite of all this mystery one fact is crystal clear: with early feedback from ed banger’s busy p reaching the same conclusion that crackboy’s productions are solid gold, this is an ep with substantial crossover potential that will put the whole scene on the same wavelength.
