third va10y vinyl release with 4 new jams.

stiff little spinners enters its 6th volume with a 5 track package spanning the widest sonic spectrum imaginable. its tracks, in typical spinners fashion, range from r&b influenced house grooves to shimmering, broken-beat, new-age garage swing. gimmix & zorro prove their penchant for urban slow jams with a dance floor flavour. their opener oveile builds in a slow, sleazy fashion, eventually trading its more unpredictable drum arrangement for a sturdy 4/4 rhythm. the melody surges harmoniously, navigating the walls of its club-ready time signature, a phenomenal introduction to a mind-blowing collection of tracks. the vinyl release includes a download code.

the g man hits the planet rhythm imprint (finally) with a slice of infectious dancefloor material. binkys groove ep revolves around tough house/techno jams with an attitude. from the gritty almost dancehallish rhythms in ms retrograde to the anthemous bassline sounds in binkys groove and the very uk sounding g vibe on dis-tracted! mr.g has delivered a modern day prruk classic.

big with dixon, the drifter, alex niggemann, fur coat, thugfucker, frankey and sandrino. -sketches of pain- is a meet-up of two cultures which have been at war with each other for thousands of years. music unites where the world of men divides! here the magical voice of egyptian singer ahmad elsawy can weave its spell. intelligent electronica, ethnic and acoustic instruments, all join together once more to blend two worlds into one universal language. 3 remixes. luca bacchetti continues his series of endless remixes preferring a mostly dub feel with a version that retains some of the original elements, creating that tension culminating in what is the “suspended” sonic idyll that lately has characterized his breakdowns, by now a trademark of his. jon charnis, who we already know for his work on innervisions and all day i dream, has taken it in another direction to put together a true masterpiece, the tone here becoming more -trippy- with a pure afterhours atmosphere. the ever present and increasingly detailed groove add to that magic touch that has made charnis one of the most interesting techno artists on the american scene. last but not least one of our favourite techno artists, eduardo de la calle, surprises us with an interpretation that distances itself completely from the original, moving it into that enigmatic, mysterious and unregulated territory that is definitely his very own unmistakable way of living and feeling techno music. an ep that we expect will come-out from indoor clubs to find its best expression in exotic locations, deserts, beaches, dimensions that are part of that imaginary world that we call: endless.

the head of grounded theory berlin returns to sonic groove with his strongest outing on the label to date. henning baer brings forth a rough and tough diverse four cut ep of chunky rhythmatic techno. recording the songs during live jams and using a previously decided pool of hardware this ep has a nice old school vibe. the sound production however is very much in the modern day with its well crafted mix downs. this release has strong mass appeal for the purist techno connoisseur.

following two previous appearances on the label (a collaboration with matrixxman for delft 004 and a remix of alden tyrell on 006), san francisco s vin sol makes his full solo debut on delft with the memory scan ep: four rough & ready analogue jams fizzing with the effervescent energy that has characterised the producer s output for unknown to the unknown, clone jack for daze and his own soo wavey imprint.

fumiya tanaka s double-tracker >beautiful town< was fully inspired by its cover artwork: a set of carefully selected old pictures with a layer of masterful signature paintings by romanian artist and fine-arts student bonjour bonsoir. a-sides >abacus avenue< is the ep’s most dense and eerie side. an addictive piece that utterly succeeds in sucking you right in like a vortex would. the locomotive bassline serves its purpose of movement in a strong loopy groove, while the pads and poltergeist y sounds reformat our heads with an inability for space-time tracking. the otherside of this town, >himegami marathon<, is another mysteriously intricate work. its a microcosm of grooves, sinister details and voices locked in a tight groove built on a single bass stab and a flowing, never-ending set of wet claps. a piano kicks in at key points, alongside percussive elements, reminding us that this town is alive.

crafty new school acid jams on this fresh 4-tracker from japanese leading acid maker.

slowmotion is born from a collaboration between hakim murphy and vince noog. noog has been rocking more on the techno tip over the years with releases on his label, but when the collaboration took place, beat-down feels appeared causing some house jams to develop. the ep is called beats from lugdunum, but why? lugdunum is the old school name for lyon and the surrounding areas, and these tunes were conceptualized, composed, and beated right there.

pure badness all over this 1979 jamaican disco-funk odyssey! king sporty should be no stranger to those of you with a keen ear for esoteric underground disco sounds, his tracks have been getting serious play by top shelf, discerning jocks since the 1970 s & his konduko label has dropped many a left-field bomb on unsuspecting dance floors! fire keep on burning is one such bomb, an lp crammed full of unstoppable stripped back island sounds, too many killer cuts to mention but just check out the og version of get on down for starters! an essential & extremely rare record & one that deserves a spot in any self respecting disco lovers collection. %100 heat on here, party jams from start to finish, let s go to the disco!

frits wentink launches his new label bobby donny with ‘live fast, dwayne young’. bobby donny has been set up to primarily feature frits wentink’s own tracks, but focusing on the wonkier, more lo-fi house edge of his sound. the emphasis will be on tracks that are hardware jams on rhodes, juno 60 or mpc, then structured later. frits wentink has already garnered a huge fanbase for his quirky, innovative and characterful house music on a number of forward thinking labels like wolfskuil, 2020vision, heist and wolf with his recent debut album, ‘rarely pure, never simple’ on the latter, gaining much critical acclaim.

the mysterious usio project first showed its bewitching janus-face in 2013 with the release of kuwa huru, a star-striking collection of electronic blues for the dance floor that also constituted the first full-length album to appear on studio barnhus. kuwa jasiri is a follow-up and an appendix and something entirely new these four tracks stem from intense rehearsals of usios emotive, energetic live show (coming soon, if youre lucky, to a dark basement/dewy forest floor near you). the breezing funk of opening track gonna make it, the freakish stomp of planet dust, over the andes in all its precipitous acid-jammin glory and contemplative, elegant closing track pamoja have all captivated us at studio barnhus. its a beautiful night outside so we thought it might be time to let these birdies fly.

joe goddard just had to knock on that door. the wall of his recording studio had been pulsating with original analogue house jams for too long, dry ice practically sifting through the vents. behind that door was gentleman george t, and before long the two heads were nodding to obscure dat edits and 4th hand soul samples as george plundered a wealth of forgotten late 90s dats from of a box in the corner. true story. and now those dat edits, lovingly un-restored, are available for the first time on greco-roman, the record label, party and artist collective of whom hot chip s joe goddard is a founding member.

jann is back! again on land of dance records! after his clamorous debut, jann is back with a new ep including four tracks full imprinted of his chicago-acid sound. different mood shaped by mental attitude, electronic sound and power grooves. pure analogue music coming from his machines. we are glad to present andreas gehm aka elect pt. 1 as remixer in this great release, just one word about him acid!

shadeleaf continues, with a strident 7 out of 7 on the scoreboard! following a stunning (and sell-out !) ep earlier last year, the north easts answer to michigans finest, steps up again, with probably his strongest work to date. mannmademusic became known very quickly, over the space of a few low key, but expertly realised edits releases for the likes of glenview, lumberjacks in hell & diner city sounds. this ep sees him continue wearing his influences proudly, but re-imagine them in an altogether rawer framework - samples woven together, augmented and redefined, some of it following the classic kdj blueprint but laid out in a style thats all his own. those familiar loops submerged and unfurling, rubbing up against altogether more off-kilter but coherent workouts, sat alongside perfectly measured electronic jams all combining into an ep that stands head and shoulders above the competition. another shadeleaf sureshot!

new imprint special edition launches in some style with a top release from the rather talented, emerging italian producer kiu d. this guy has been grabbing a lot of influential peoples attention recently and it is not surprising on this kind of devastating form. the man can produce and has a fine taste in music to match. pulling on influences from funk, disco and house music, he turns out 3 top class jams with super hi fidelity that are destined to set any dance floor on fire. definitely one to look out for and a great start for special edition!

rounding off the vinyl series that accompanies themas label-defining strength in numbers compilation, part 4 downsizes from 12 inch to 7 inch to present two distinctive jams that show some of the farthest reaches of the new york imprints sound. laurine frost may be best known as part of the nonconformist house and techno scene of europe through releases on perspectiv, sharingtones and nervmusic, but on this special creation for thema he makes the perfect tribute to the city that gave rise to the label, with a little help from the racy diatribe of amiri baraka on “your house”. by way of a truly special finale for the series, minneapolis maverick dj slip graces the label with an all-too rare appearance, taking an altogether more primal approach on “x7” that channels his years spent conjuring up next level techno for missile, music man and more into a taut and punchy electro excursion infected with tricked out effects and seductive sci-fi noir atmospherics. it’s the perfect example of the freaky fringes thema has comfortably reached to over the course of the last forty releases.
