recorded whilst battling insomnia during a cold and bleak berlin winter, jack dixons new ep finds him channeling the light and the dark of his home city. inspired by the bygone euphoria of early analogue techno and the harsh industrial landscape outside his window, the three tracks of those questions swirl vinyl crackle, ghostly rave vocals and human heartbeats around pounding jackhammer bass, intense drops and intricate house rhythms. the result is a perfect encapsulation of the curses and blessings of a sleepless hibernation. it is an atmosphere also present in the hazy drones and pulsating sub-bass of skudges exhilarating, analogue remix of heirloom, the revered swedish duo tuning down the filters and reinterpreting the track as a ghostly and paranoid low-end basement banger.

direct out of deepest neukolln emerges z o d i a c 4 4. rusty, broken and cantankerous we spill forth our first ever release with dungeon acid at the helm. dungeon jams sees the swedish producer summon madness from the depths of his mind and unleashes it on the world via his computerriddimdrummachiner and the analoguewavecombosignalizer. aboard the pirate ship are fellow viking rivet (skudge/kontra) and nordic saint dj fett burger (sex tags mania/sex tags ufo) with both bringing their own inimitable and unparalleled sonic grooves to the battleground. zaqua is the first of 12 releases. one for each sign of the stars and then z o d i a c 4 4 is forever dead and gone. forever.

the man from marseille vernon dropping his second e.p for dabj here, building on the groove of his debut >chicken dance< but adding an extended palette of sound and taking things in a slightly tougher direction. >how to travel the universe (without a flying saucer)< kicks of with >ignition<, an eerie ghost train cut ripe for an lsd-fuelled danse macabre through the town after the witching hour. >one night in tanzania< rolls out into a rugged, clave-led jacker: a perfect mix between the deep and the tough that vernon can deftly muster, seemingly with ease. flip the white wax for a run of jagged, acidic noise on >how to build a pyramid<, a perfect soundtrack to getting >the acid life< tattooed on yer forehead tebori-style by a crippled ex-yakusa in a back-alley whorehouse...

new detroit techno ep by detect audio with terrence dixon remix

dixon cites tim hecker, autechre and wolfgang voigt as influences and this ep is as equally diverse. we begin with edge of the universe , an enigmatic techno experiment. tight hats and snare work give it an almost jackin feel whilst subtle bumping subs and cryptic vocal chops decorate throughout.

making a clean break with the poisonous digital dubstep rhythms in his first ep, dogboy’s basement to the attic is an fearless musical odyssey where the confines of this world end in intriguing organic sounds. in a way that wishmountain or burnt friedman would, dogboy scrutinizes the boundaries between experimentation and pure dance music. using recordings made in the different rooms of his family home, the four tracks on the ep start with laying down the subtitle emotional cool yet wobbly riddim card on the table, before gradually rising the subs and the pressure into a rave like burst of pride. futuristic, organic, progressive and utterly baffling, what makes basement to the attic so successful is it is purely unique.
pressing on 180 gram vinyl, free download card included.

rebirth is proud to present agorias beautiful track for one hour featuring scalde for a release in 2013!
originally released by infine in 2010 and a classic in the sets of ame and dixon, for one hour features the amazing vocals from scalde, complemented by a soaring violin, dessicated horns and agoria s typically rhythm pattern. epic and elegant.

slamming arttu remixes !!

riding high on the wings of their previous release pulling strings on their red series, eclectic avenue records bring us rear002 deep in it by small giants. small giants is the wonderfully ingenious marriage between leeds based label manager jacob kelly (j.cub) and the chicago house legend joshua iz. combining their skills, they have taken a heady guitar lick, underpinned it with a smoothly infectious bassline and sewn it all together with a warm soothing vocal sample. call it house, call it disco. either way, it is a surefire dancefloor killer and will take pride of place in any dj or collectors record box. flip her over for a remix by leeds darlings pbr streetgang. currently the hottest thing to come out of dance musics unofficial capital, the cheeky duo have put their own twist on the original by filling the track out with some chuggier deeper vibes whilst highlighting the instrumental solos. a hugely successful foray into a funkier tone for what promises to be another trophy in the e.a.r cabinets.

4 heavy atmo bias cuts by myles serge, andrea, thigpen and jonas kopp.

trikk follows up last years debut release on manmakemusic with a second offering of shimmering bass heavy house music aimed squarely at the dance floor. the ep itself has already been getting some heavy rotation from manmake label boss george fitzgerald, appearing on his recent boiler room and radio one essential mixes. on basement traxx we see the darker side of trikks musical personality as he gives us a stuttering techno drum workout with demented pads and ominous stabs. rounded is trademark trikk featuring rolling subbass alongside drifting chords and swinging drums. lando (formerly lando kal) completes the ep with a guttural techno rework of the aside rounding off a stellar dancefloor centric release from the manmakemusic camp.

another day, another motherfuckin dab-j! well, their release roster might not be that prolific, but well not let reason interfere with rhyme. and you guessed it: its another shadowy figure lifted from obscurity like a golden pearl plucked from the deepest depths of the ocean. could it be the work of an infamous producer, or the product of a hobo wizard whos borrowed a few machines from a home-owning friend? only thedabj illuminati know this. and the fact that they also have a sense of humor means that we can keep getting away with writing these increasingly ridiculous press releases. it also gives us reason to assume that the entire dabj back catalogue is the work of an 85 year old woman. o.d.d: ol dirty debra working that danceflo heat. but more than likely its not on a geriatric junt tip.

native-detroiter terrence dixons longtime alliance with godfather of techno juan atkins has helped forge his own powerful sound in the world of minimal techno.

punknown is the man ! 4 dancefloor bombs here ! highly recommended by djs like laurent garnier , salvatore freda or k alexi ! dont miss it

slowly but surely spencer parkers work them label has been gaining a deserved reputation as a no nonsense house and techno imprint thanks to releases from the likes of pittsburgh track authority and dana ruh. now it is the turn of the s:vt who serves up one track, basement sweat, complete with a remix, which will then be followed by a separate 12 inch featuring two remixes from arttu. the original track pairs classic, piled-on-top-of-each other claps with a freewheeling melody that runs up and down the scale. the bottom end is streamlined and techno inclined, bringing with it plenty of raw warehouse vibes. the no strings attached mix loses the melody and ups the percussive ante, chopping up and slicing out patterns as that bottom end continues to burrow on.

philadelphia’s _moonraker follow up on their late 2012 “m_type” release with “remota instruere,” their 2nd 12&#8243,,, for great circles. 5 tracks of psych noise techno deviations plus a remix by terrence dixon. cut by dietrich schoenemann. hand-stamped and limited to 300 copies !!
