goldmin music label founder romain lanteaume alias einka meets detroit minimalism master terrence dixon aka population one for a truly conceptual techno 12-.. terrence dixon is one of our favorite artists and biggest inspiration.. detroitborn artist released his first 12- back in 1994 followed by several quintessential records and 2 epic albums -from the far future- on legendary berlin-based label tresor. terrence is not only a great techno producer who makes subwoofers roar in clubs, he is a man obsessed by a concept, an idea that he s following from the very beginning.. -minimalism- in the reaaaaal sense of the word.. for example, when thousands producers are wondering what s eventually missing in their new track, terrence is rather wondering what s useless, what could be removed and that s definitely what he gets to share on his own -reduction- imprint. after the release of terrence s track -steve austin s mile- on goldmin theme lp, romain got to meet him in detroit during summer 2014. the aim was to make an abstract record that could still be linked to a feeling or a situation.. a1 the edge track is probably a good example as it s designed and built to make you feel like you get closer and closer to the edge while the track is slowly growing until you fall.. can you feel it? :) as for the other tracks, there is also a special idea behind them but we better let you interpret it your way

dreams of the future reveal more about the mind of the dreamer than the future itself-. the third release of rome-based label suburban avenue consists of 3 original tracks from the liverpool-based producer binny and bouncing remix by zadig. -polymorph- and -i/o- are oldschool, direct techno bangers that draw influence from detroit and beyond. with its minimally acidic riff, -signal repeat- is the perfect counterbalance to these tracks and is reminiscent of robert hood s early productions. zadig s electric remix of -i/o- takes the core of the track and re-works it into a subtle, yet tough peak-time groover that will slot easily into any discerning techno dj s set.

shift ltds second instalment of their basement traxx va series, a solid 4-track complation from label heads dnart and gianluca marcelli and their guests petr serkin and lady blacktronika.

new zealand based crate digger frank booker invites good friend julien dyne to drop the second release on his new imprint down in the basement. jd picks up where the man called booker left off on vol 1 and gets straight up to speed cutting up rare boogie, disco and afro jams and employing his trademark raw cuts in an old school style, while lacing oodles of fx n stuff into the mix. the overall sound is reminiscent of the early idjut boys material, which is so close to mr booker s heart.

where to now? records are proud to welcome back space afrika, following their long sold out debut release ‘above / below the concrete’. this four track 12” ‘primrose avenue’ can be seen as a continuation of the themes and ideas explored on that debut, but pushes the manchester duos palette of scorched inner city soundscapes, considered field recordings and rolling dubbed out techno dread further than ever before.

toronto hustles kick their ep off with the classic house sound of in your mind . mr fingers style bassline over chunky chords and a well chosen rasta vocal sample builds an infectious house groove. just enough is perfect terrace material and will keep those early morning deep house heads happy. the raw cut brings a tougher groove to the ep, reminiscent of that roper mid 90 s us house sound from chicago.

2015 repress. its been four years since my last own ep on stockholm ltd. the main reason for this is that i have been surrounded by music that has inspired me much more than my own. this ep was written and produced with strict narrow frames and a huge amount of frustration. i was tired of waiting for the inspiration to kick in, then suddenly it appeared with a strength that i havent felt for long time. im now curious for more. while sketching the title track, >wyatt arp<, i couldnt get detroit legend, terrence dixon, out of my mind. terrence is a long time hero of mine, and an artist that always stays on the true side of what we do while most of us occasionally leave our paths. i had to ask him to do a rework. / par grindvik

pdd are proud to welcome the legendary basement boys label to their mighty label roster! responsible for genre defining releases for over 2 decades, and with a discography as deep & rich as most labels can only dream of, the the first release hitting back on wax is from none other than the one and only jasper street co. after their stellar southport weekender and camelot performances with the basement boys in the uk, it was inevitable that j.s.c. would soon be back in the studio recording once more.

randomer collaborates with cadans for this basement series. angry machine music that makes your rump shake.

for it’s 16th (!!!) release, dixon avenue basement jams continues to bolster it’s local infantry with fresh, new blood, this time with the addition of a young but well-seasoned individual hailing from the hinterland of greater glasgow and going by the name of big miz. if you happen to live within an 8 mile radius of a blue lagoon, the chances are you will have already been acquainted with the bold miz, most likely through the longstanding and legendary clubnight/crew he’s a resident & founding member of: offbeat. the length & breadth of offbeat’s tastes also reflects his flexibility as a producer. tracks presented here, such as “good thing” strike a fine balance between good ol’ motor city funk and chi-town oddities such as vincent floyd’s more obscure cuts on d.m, while the velocity increasing “solange” comes like the result of a three-day theo studio session fuelled by bad speed. his talent for catering to the dance has clearly paid dividends when it comes to his productions, with the nuance and instinctive touch he presents us with on his debut dabj 12” clearly marking him from the start line as an already formidable & stand-out force in the heady and increasingly cramped world of house & techno.

one of detroit’s most relevant names in modern techno “terrence dixon” joins the modularz roster of producers with his debut ep that features both his terrence dixon name and his alias population one on the same ep. terrence dixon submitted this ep to modularz a couple months back and said to us that he had something special for the modularz label - with the intention of releasing a well balanced ep with deep grooves, stripped down rawness and funky hypno rhythms we felt this would be a great addition to our catalog. we are very pleased to present this release and continue to show our range and our diversity in the techno genre

the fourth release on the martinez brothers’ cuttin’ headz imprint, the bros from the bronx come up with some old school flavored house vibes with their remix of the basement jaxx feat. sneak “sneakin’ toronto”. they snagged the remix package from the veteran electronic music duo as a lead in to the basement jaxx full length album “juno” expected to be released later in the fall on atlantic jaxx / pias. the vocal version features a flurry of different spoken word phrases chopped up and filtered. the dub is for the vocal-phobic members of the public - a bubbly slice of jackin’ house that will brighten the dance floor.

white asega co-­owner jack dixon wrote new curtains after a friend who was coming wildly off the rails told him he was a good producer but his tunes were boring. the original version was really sparse and about 300bpm. when jack moved to new york the parts got lost, so he remade the track a dozen times. this was the version we all liked best, although jack never wants to hear it again in his life. it sounds tough and tropical. our friend troy gunner remixed it, and turned it into something so loud and slamming it will knock your teeth out. after telling jack to stop making boring music, mark kodiak spent two horrendous years working with jamie kodiak on a song they ve called taargus. it nearly destroyed their friendship forever but we think it was worth it. it has brutal weapon sounds, nasty snares and an incessant “yo” that has been described as “annoying and unnecessary”. the artist tom pounder has created a blinding video for it that contains brand new colours. french born bass genius bambounou stepped up to remix the track, taming the wild stems into a hypnotic early­morning house stepper. it took us approximately 2000 exhausting facebook group chats, four cross­atlantic flights and one divorce to get to this point. we hope you will enjoy this record for the rest of your lives. rip ken tulley.

hot release! riverette is back with another reference this time produced by cliff lothar. old jams die hard #1 stands as a classic and old school release full of techno and nasty acid bass lines. warning! beware of the dance floor! want to miss this one?

tiago, a name synonymous with the lisbons underground night trust at lux club and a portuguese pioneer of the blend between all kinds of music. also, tiago has released twisted tracks consistently for close to 10 years now, spreading his net across quality like jolly jams, public possession and his very own imprint interzona13. he epitomises how the art of quality disco, house & techno music should be done. in these glutted days of cutand- paste edits, his care, passion and talent hark back to the origins of the musical movement. as a producer, dj and musician, tiago and his extensive discography have played a vital role in the reawakening of love and interest in the various shades of leftfield dance music over the last decade across the world.

with future releases from the likes of reset robot and geddes, truesoul is positioning itself as a label to be reckoned with. after a storming 2014 with releases on viva, quartz and snatch off, onno is back with his first ep for 2015 on adam beyers acclaimed truesoul label. for this 3 track ep, onno explores the more techno focussed part of his sound, while retaining that bottom heavy, hip hop inspired groove that he is renowned for.

len faki veroeffentlicht die zweite ep seiner basement trax-reihe auf ostgut ton. war der erste teil der 2013 begonnenen reihe noch gepraegt von vocals, sphaerischen klaengen und melodien, so verzichtet der berghain-resident der ersten stunde mit vol. 2 fast gaenzlich auf solche elemente. die drei neuen stücke sind klar, funktional, aufgeraeuumt und alle um die 124 bpm pendelnd, spiegeln seinen routinierten blick auf die peaktime am wriezener bahnhof aber auch auf dancefloors rund um die welt wider

a made up sound returns to clone basement series with the third volume in his archive sequence, a strong and varied 4-tracker due out mid june. opener cheater vip is probably the most floor-ready offering here, from there on the ep gradually takes a more narrative turn, from the slower paced gravel stomp and soundtrack strings of funkstation to the emotive, off-kilter diptych us and them on the b-side.

population one, the legendary project of the detroit techno legend, terrence dixon, arrives at 30drop to present his new work and unveils the 30drop guest artists release series under the name of: 30drop exoplanets. >time will tell< is a conceptual work that exceeds standards. the hypnotic and elegant minimalism of >3.26.2013at11.40pm< harmonic complexity and surrealism jazz of >11.18.2013<t1:41am< and >5.26.2012at5.59pm< and the sonic and spatial reverie >12.1.2008at5.48pm< are the four tracks of the ep. deliciously transgressor, imaginative and ambitious, the work gets into an unexplored territory to the delight of the most avant-garde dance floor.

hailing from berlin, but spiritually from chi-town, snuff crew are back in your area with some freshly served up basement goodies once again. following on from basement jams #1, from all the way back in 2011, the boys bring us tracks with the same playful nature as before but, dare i say it, they go even harder this time. stalwart fans of the first release can stop reading now because it will almost certainly be a blind-buy for you, four tracks obviously engineered for use in the club, whether its the massive kick in ‘what it is’ or the ravey acid lead in ‘88cents’. the jams on the b-side may do the most damage. ‘remember’ holds absolutely nothing back, with its arpeggiated bassline lead and crisper than crisp 909 drum programming. analog is a term that gets bandied about all the time nowadays, ever since so many young producers became enamoured with tape compression and hiss delay plug-ins. i know snuff crew are real analog guys though, in sound and mentality, so hearing basement jams #2 for the first time had me so excited once again.

2016 repress - outplay s third vinyl release will be from young mancunian artist loz goddard. with releases on large music and editorial he has been making a great impression with his combination of disco and beatdown house. a well balanced blend between samples and synth work makes this a varied ep and a great showcase for loz s sound. outplay s own fouk takes care of the remix, turning the lush it will come to me into a solid dance floor track with added bass line groove
