shlomi abers new 12inch slides perfectly into the nonplus catalogue with two slabs of straight up no nonsense techno. with well over 15 years of production history and 20 years of djing across the globe he knows exactly what it takes to move a dance floor. israel born and raised but heavily influenced by the old detroit techno movement shlomi managed to balance his roots into the modern wave of the current techno peers. working from an aladdin s cave of analogue gear he crafts a raw and groove laden sound often attempted but rarely achieved by others. takeover and street works are two tracks demonstrating hes a producer whos mastered his craft and is at the top of his game right now.

throwing rave parties since 2011, the bp collective has been founded with the objective of bringing a new breath to the french underground techno scene. in the bp tag und nacht” parties the visual universe tends to merge with the sound. each of the two stages has something different to tell: tag for the open air, nacht for the dark and smoky room. this project is based on the belief that the story told by sound depends on the visual atmosphere in which it is played. indeed this very first ep is built between those two atmospheres, the 4 tracks of the ep could be played in any of the two scenes tag or nacht with a totally different impact on the audience. on the tag stage, both of the tracks are colorful, atmospheric and dynamic whereas on the nacht stage, they become dark, trippy and powerful. this record is the first release of the two artists x1000 on the a side and vidock on the b side. both of them are part of the bp collective since the beginning, they draw their influences from the 90s detroit and belgium techno and trance scene. its difficult not to think about artists like the martian, model 500, robert leiner or the whole r&s label while listening to these 4 tracks.

als unser guter freund lexx mit diesen tracks von look like auf uns zukam, wußten wir noch nichts von diesem jungen talent aus zürich. nachdem wir uns seine musik anhörten, blieb uns aber nichts anderes übrig, als sie zu veröffentlichen. seine musik ist beinflusst vom klassischen sound aus chicago und detroit, beinhaltet aber auch elemente der uk-bass music, sowie die aufgeschlossenheit von jemandem, der stets auf der suche nach progression ist.

special summer deal! perfectly merging detroit & uk techno heritage.

label honcho continues to break down detroit techno walls with a 4 track ep of bass shots and analog rhythms. pressing on orange coloured & black marbled vinyl.

the second release on modern cathedrals includes an original mix by altstadt echo supplemented with remixes crafted by donor, luigi tozzi, and asop. the inclusion of donor’s remix represents a continued effort to link together the detroit and brooklyn scenes, while the luigi tozzi remix connects modern cathedrals to the ghastly, dark styles of techno that italian artists have become so respected for. as a core member of the modern cathedrals team and a primary force behind the label’s event series, asop’s remix is the very first public release of work by this incredible new detroit-based artist. but while the artist names change from record to record, the philosophy does not. we continue in a desperate attempt to generate meaning during the short spasm of a lifetime we are given in a world that seems to conspire to prevent this effort’s realization. this situation might be inescapable, but through the rejection of complacency and dogma, we can approach our end with the bitter comfort that we were at least willing to be honest about our situation.

brilliant disco with chicago & detroit flavours

following a string of well-received outings for the project on his own black catalogue label, monty luke debuts his mandingo alias on matt edwards rekids with the parallel universe ep. firmly establishing himself as a brightly talented producer, dj and a&r over the past eight years with releases on planet e and mothership in addition to his own detroit-based imprint, the san franciscan s three tracks offer alternate perspectives on his richly honed sound, drawing on influences from his homes old and new as well as further afield, such as the hybrid electronic sounds of london and bristol.

this is the first of a 2 volumes series by crackboy dedicated to raw ghetto house and techno rooted in chicago (think armando rather than larry heard) on the thing and detroit on the dirt (think carl craigs project 69). both tracks come with useful dub tools for the real djs out there. pure analog power by a true master.

the first trackman ep went out on ideal trax in 1995, a six track, two vinyl ep spanning trippy, classic acid cuts, detroit and chicago influences, sheffield bleep and manchester hacienda rave era overtones. trackman has now been lovingly remastered and re-issued on infrastructure, with a bonus track paradise included, which featured later on the 1996 dont stop ep also a classic in it s own right.

the vinyl factory is proud to present an 18-track vinyl edition of µ20, spread across three 12inch records. for a label thats existed in an orbit of its own, on very independent terms, its remarkable that planet mu has survived 20 years. pushing buttons from idm and breakcore to dubstep and grime, and lately footwork, mike paradinas’ (µ-zip) label has a strong history of joining the dots betweens genres by supporting idiosyncratic artists from label stalwart venetian snares to kuedo, machinedrum, boxcutter, vexd, falty dl, luke vibert, ital, jlin and mr. mitch to name just a few. µ20 is a living document of that history. a colourful and adventurous ride across the roster, the compilation features contributions from the current decade as well as some of the old guard, dipping back to the late nineties and early 2000s for a range of noisier, knottier track

after over a decade of music on pedigree labels like spectral, nation, m>o>s, and creme organization 2amfm offer their debut lp on bopside. based in ann arbor and raised in the detroit area, d’marc cantu and tadd mullinix are charged by a lifetime of midwestern soundwaves and the reinforcement of contemporaneous area innovators like carlos souffront and traxx. again, they join forces but with this monumental excursion into the ether of their very own techno/house universe. sounds herein are cast from debonair techno funk, rumbling house grooves, italo acid, galactic swing - offering a diverse array that’s perfect for the album experience.

fatdog records returns after a break, offering contributions from 3 artists new to the label - the rutan, tom mc connell and mark hand. fdr003 offers a development from the deep house template on the last ep, this time taking us further into deeper detroit territories. mark hand offers us drexciyan techno in the form of cold feet. the rutans fable sits somewhere between vakula and some of henrik schwarzs earlier dub-house experiments, while fat dog takes us to the murky back alleys of his mind with jaffa cakes. finally tom mc.connells juniper takes us into wonkier groove rhodes stylings which rounds off the ep very nicely indeed. support by john heckle, afrikan sciences, lay-far, enrico (neroli), sonars ghost (2000 black), burnski, wolf music

michigan native dj soko is part of a long line of great technical djs, musical innovators, curators and those who broke key artists and introduced acts that forever changed the landscape of the music scene. sokos ear and ability to put emcees in position for them to shine over the perfect production is never more evident than it is on his debut project released on his imprint left of center. dj soko uses his years coming up in the detroit scene, his experiences djing in his current home (the planet of brooklyn, ny) then blends both of those worlds together seamlessly. the end result is a gritty, boom bap rap album that is equally as soulful and introspective as it is rooted in a blue collar lyrical hip-hop aesthetic. *domino effect* is ultimately brought together by sokos deft cuts and scratches which elevate each composition and make them resonate with listeners even further.
pressing on transparent red vinyl.

qnete joins the lobster theremin gang with a trek through inspired drum machine-based house tracks on this debut white label. channeling the spirit of chicago, detroit and new york in a dash through long-buried catacombs to find the lost pads of yore, qnete imbues his sound with melodies so jacking yet so yearning that they belie his young age and short discography. melancholy moods come and go like waves of a fever, leaving us confused and isolated, yet somehow comforted by the overriding desire and optimism left over. a release for the secret lovers, the lost individuals and anyone who s ever been caught dancing in the dark alone.

taking a more shuffle-heavy detroit-leaning mentality for this ep, but still retaining that tape-crusted edge, snow bone explores more of his heaving, modular-esque detroit-inspired sound, as well as more stripped back rollers. boulder-crushing kicks and bass reign, all grated over with scattered modem bleeps and trashed up hats!

global powerhouse maceo plex announces a long-awaited forthcoming album with the first single on his ellum imprint, featuring two stunning and spaced out compositions in the solar sampler.

co founder of one of our favorite labels of the moment how to kill detroit, knocked us over with his own trax recently, so we had to do a release with him. shady p brings us some prime detroit techno sludge with this ep.

featured: four bona fide artists, accomplished and historically rooted deeply in the underground. drivetrain (detroit, usa) – take your time…a grove which the dance floor simply cannot deny. derrick thompson unleashes a bewitching bass line atop a relentlessly galvanizing drum track. flavorful female vocal samples raise the energy to maximum capacity. black jack (aberdeen, scotland) – “the earth grid”…moving just a little deeper, the melody of rich chords and pads guide the constant pulsating bass with effeminate whispers chanting through the occasional twisting synth refrain. fbk (columbus, usa) – “his brief moment of clarity”…boosting the tempo just a tad, a herculean debut production which intelligently punches and stabs dynamic waves of rhythmic sound patterns of perpetual electronic motion. rob belleville (soest, netherlands) – brightened horizon…a first offering on soiree records, spontaneously spotlighting late night ambiance. percussions swing to the bounce of the bass riff as the keyboards chime the infectious theme. -rooted and grounded deep-

straight out of sheffield! classic bring you one from the new school….scott monkz. currently bubbling around with a fantastic vinyl following scott is set for higher ground.a master of the swingy beat and blaxploitation sample - thatmanmonkz takes a little detroit, a little chicago and a whole lot of sheffield to add his spin on an old school sound. drafting in the vocal talents of pete simpson, this ep moves things around wonderfully. luke solomon has supported monkz heavily on his business as usual radio show over the last 2 years….and now its time to welcome him officially into the classic family.

u2xproductions presents, i m yours written by niko marks and featured artist, sadiqua. niko expresses true detroit deepness while allowing room for a sultry female vocal to carry a bit of melody throughout each mix. a1 starts off low tempo and very dance friendly while b1 delivers a very funky baseline and leans to a more aggressive beat. b2 gets really deep and plays down to a minimal pulse. this release is a definite dj record with smooth and rich grooves that will make a great fit into your playlists!
