ryo murakami is now ready to launch his new project/label “depth of decay” and its first release is his own debut album. the music on the album is so deep and carefully constructed that trying to describe it may seem pointless. this album is obviously a challenging piece of art that will change your evaluation of ryo murakami.

we have reached number 10. time to celebrate with a remix edition of the deep88 & melchior sultana project. awaiting the album release (later 2014) we asked 2 of our heroes if they would like to make a remix for us. with a lot a lot (and a lot) of happiness we announce the nightwave remix by ben >cozmo d< cenac, formerly known as dream 2 science (and sha-lor and newcleus and the cellar boyz), that made us a wonderful space trip with his dreamy synths and stylish drums. the other remix is >yo house< treated by the excellent australian producer andras fox, that converts the song into a super classy deep house one with a lot of hiss and love. the man behind > running late> really made some magic over the melody of yo house, as usual with the aim of analogue warm-tape-feel and his crazy skills.

so far in its fledgling career, the ultra knites label has been populated by collaborations of the same name from the two founders sem marini and mike sharon. this third release sees the pair showcase their talents as solo artists with the first in a series of knite grooves releases, with sharon calling shotgun and manning proceedings on the a side. with a lilting female vocal hook, soft pads and jazzy rhodes touches, -people- is a classicist take on ny house that features some weighty kick drums, whilst -field of dreams- opts for a approach that s more indebted to the likes of mr fingers. marini delivers a peak time bumper in the shape of -voltage- which contrasts nicely with the deep rolling business of final track -music takes me-.

with litote ep, torrebros (numoment recordings / komplex de deep) signs here 2 tracks techno oriented. while part i integrates an organ hypnotic groove, part ii approaches an acid feeling by a heady bassline. borrowed identity (mistress recordings / quintessentials) proposes a catchy remix of part ii with the adding of a subtle vocal loop.

with georgis sinnmusik debut receiving support from the likes of laurent garnier, john digweed, joyce muniz and shadow child, label favourite georgi barrel returns with another batch of dusty samples and deep, infectious house grooves.

the us producer recently joined the ranks of talent residing in berlin and its evident the european techno capital is having a subtle sway on his sound on the basis of this apotheke ep, most notably the title track. theres a sense of driving momentum wedged deep in the sonic dna of this track, complemented well by a low slung bassline and airy synth melodies. elsewhere huertas sometime studio sparring partner urulu adds some percussive flex to the pulsating swing set, whilst kingsleys groove swerves the sound back towards deeper house and is apparently named in honour of a friends cat. glenn astro of the tartelet crew ends the release with a wonderfully bumping take on the track.

played by sames (godzilla kebab), jacques renault, paul thornton (itch / dig deep), superbreak, martin haberland, cottam, sleazy beats recordings, adryiano

whoever is behind the ac exp project has clearly worked very hard to ensure their identity remains under wraps, with zilch info out there on the big old internet. which is a shame because theres a degree of class to the two untitled productions on this 10- that demands some recognition. both are unassuming club tools that any deep house selector will appreciate a few hours into their set, all swirling, dubby atmospherics, tunnelling rhythms and snapping percussion.

time to welcome more new, undiscovered talent to the fold, this time we give you sheffield producer thatmanmonkz with an amazing ep entitled please dont slip, trip or fall off. thatmanmonkz came to our attention last year when his track that would be alright appeared on tone control music. the low slung, bluesy inflections combined with moodymann-esqe vocals and deep pads had us instantly hooked so when he presented us with three brand new tracks for delusions of grandeur we literally bit his hand off.

after an astounding year for apollonia storming all corners of the earth, the three welcomed further success with a momentous fiesta at bpm to commence 2014. working the label in tandem, the list of pioneers featured thus far – point g, callisto and kerri chandler – is mighty impressive. jovonn is a name that sits naturally alongside them, the difference being that the forthcoming ep on apollonia is not a repress but juicy new productions. a highly respected international dj and producer hailing from brooklyn, jovonn made his mark within the underground house scene with classics such as >i cant make up my mind<, >garage shelter<, and the standout collaboration with dj deep >back in the dark<. an intrinsic inspiration to the apollonia trio, a personal relationship first formed at wmc miami last year. enjoying a production comeback following music on dogmatik and la vie en rose in 2013, talk of working with apollonia has fruitfully resulted in - the ep - . proving he can still produce a house bomb with ease, trippin is a jovonn future classic dripping in sexy hushed vocals, with a dub alternative that sticks to the tracks fundamentals. the march journeys forward into the deepness of dreamy synths, while the contagious beats lure you into a swinging metronome effect. in the words of jovonn, >its spiritual<.catch jovonn playing alongside apollonia at treehouse on 24th march, as part of this years wmc miami festivities

bobby b (a.k.a andre ferreira) is perhaps best known as bobby browser, as he is previously issued a pair of eps for the 100% silk label under that name. those records were excellent, but its fair to say that his icee hot debut finds ferreira exploring a richer, deeper sound. >history< is slow-burning deep house jaunt that subtly nods to detroit along the course of its soul-drenched journey. >so true< warms things up, but only slightly, as its relaxed tones, warbling melodies, and loosely stitched breakbeat offer a blissed-out path to the dancefloor.

fracture is a new label which aims to release quality music on a medium we care about. this is why we chose to work with choosing matt colton from alchemy mastering, and also why we decided to put only one track per side of a 180 gr. vinyl. this first release features two artists we love : i/y and tripeo. for their first real incursion on another label, i/y continues its exploration of the abyss of modern music. 0000.030 is a deep plunge into a paranoid atmosphere led by merciless beats.tripeo takes it into a jacking excursion accompanied by noisy and acidic elements. while maintaining the originals ruthless vibe, this remix offers a different aggression and gives the track a groovy psychedelic feel

rarely you come across a record which embodies dubstep so well that rallies the entire scene behind it. from the brosteppers to the deep heads this record has been getting love from all corners of the earth. were talking about under control the latest outing from germanys next top wobble aka bukez finezt. its eerie intro sets the tone perfectly to interlude this hypnotic stomper. once the sonic warfare is unleashed itll transport you to a word of desolation, where aliens run rampant and technology has absorbed everything around them

reynier hooft s (aka deniro) second solo 12 inch on tape records amsterdam. he is one of the reasons the label was started in the first place and this release shows exactly why! in the last two years he released a handfull of deeper and melodious tracks, but with *atavism* deniro shows a totally different side of his talent. the title track atavism is a classic sounding banger, while throwback complements the ep as a deep and subtle counterbalance.

after releasing one of the most memorable records of the year in 2013, the roman dj returns with another amazing piece of work. the age, on the a side, is an ambient track with psychedelic rock and new age music incursions, showing once again his love for downtempo stuff. orion 314, on the b side, is a slow and straight deep techno train that will not disappear all lovers of this kind of sound.

nelistening back, ‘interlude’ will feel like the perfect opening to ‘skylax’. a jazzy encore crawls in, morphing into a skippy hip-hop instrumental with jason’s signature flourishes all over it. aptly named as it is, this is the breathing space between whatever came before in your day, and the eleven deep house gems that are to follow. speaking of, ‘the love’ will have you gripped from the first bar. it glides the listener in, then subtly drops that signature, tightly-tuned bassline of jason’s and continues onto soulful vocals from there. ‘old dayz’ touches on a bit of a nostalgic note. the spoken vox cuts harken back to 90s hip-hop joints, playing over a looped latin sample-led beat. from there, ‘rawkicks 2’ shows jason’s rough and ready sampling style in action. a seemingly simple track, but one which has that special something which guarantees to keep people on the floor moving for its duration. ‘cut b’ contrasts this nicely, being a much cleaner production with tight drum programming and synth work. that said, it still has the classic jg atmosphere we love. closing out the first half of the album, ‘definition’ slows the pace ever so slightly, with its eternal pad structure that builds up the track’s momentum into something very mellow and deep.bringing in the second half of ‘skylax’, ‘john blue’ takes things back a notch further. a deeper tune, yet one that shows off an uncharacteristically punchy bass hit from jason. ‘last night’ is a track more reminiscent of jason’s first lost cuts ep on wax classic, sounding as if it had been freshly taken off an old tape with its sample-led beat and background hiss. the last four tracks of the album see a return to the ‘mastercuts’ and ‘lovedits’ series which fans will recognize from the ‘lost cuts’ records, with ‘lovedits 7’ and ‘mastercut 5’ respectively. the former is a laid back female vocal edit with the entire suite of signature jg touches while the latter is a garage house hit more crafted for the club. ‘bb’ brings the album to a close, twisting a disco/funksample over a pallet of drums and effects for the near six-minute duration of the track.all in all, this is the perfect follow up to jason’s debut album ‘313.4.ever’, with tracks for both the club and home listening. if you happened to miss the first album back in 2012, don’t forget that now you have the chance to grab it in a special double pack with ‘skylax’ on cd!so, needless to say, this timeless record is a must purchase for all collectors and djs out there

rene bourgeois and andy kohlmann are striking back on rennbahn. packed with catchy melodies, a fat powerful bassline and deep vocals they created a perfect mixture of open air and club sounds. philip bader comes along with a huge remix. in combining the intense mood of the track with some dark vocals, hes pushing you directly forward to the top of the dance floor. a quite more experimental remix is given to you by bruno pronsato – for lovers of the classic minimal stuff. early support by: dubfire, anja schneider, hot since 82, super flu, blond:ish, yousef etc.
