2016 re-issue, 1997 milestone! includes the hit singles block rockin beats and dont stop the rock!

repress - white vinyl , vinyl only label focussing on quality deep house. handstamped, no digital. this is the first release, proper old school chi-town/ny vibey stuff. >we love house music, and this our playground! we dont want you to focus on who made the tracks, we want you to feel the music!<

why making a techno record in 2016? in the vast stream of new releases and the everlasting quest of new musical boundaries, blint002 tries to focus on the essentials of pattern-based clubmusic. both tracks started as late night studio jams, using only a drummaschine, a synth and some pedals. while 92 avenue ended up being a straightfoward technotrack, including a massive breakdown for everybody still awake and dancing, you have i dont have is incorporating some boomy hiphop aesthetic without loosing its connection to the dancefloor. both tracks are linked by their unresting synthlines, straying around, trapped in a noisey room full of smoke and distortion. bouncing back to the inital question, the answer with this record seems pretty clear: techno is still nothing but pure dark fun.

third t-rex with more hypnotic groove

waxwork records is thrilled to announce the vinyl debut of shock waves. the 1977 film stars horror movie legend peter cushing and is directed by ken wiederhorn (return of the living dead 2). the 100% analog synth score composed by richard einhorn (the prowler, dont go in the house) marks one of the earliest electronic compositions created for film. waxwork is proud to finally release this landmark electronic horror score in vinyl format 40 years after the films initial public release.

what can be said about lnrs work it to the bone? another slamming piece of chicago house history brought to us by the dynamic duo of larry thompson and rick lenoir (lnr, larry n rick) of the cult house jam label. this is some straight 1987 heat, real house music for the heads, from the very beginning! work it to the bone does exactly that, works every single part of your body into a frenzy, a cacophony of jacking sparse drum programming with that infamous descending bassline and that dude chanting, asking us to join him c mon let s work! this record is a total classic. period. featured on this official 2016 reissue we have 4 mixes of this monolithic slab of machine funk that originally came out on various pressing between 1987-1989: the vocal mix, the instrumental, lnr clubhouse remix and the lnr underground mix.na sense, this is the complete collection of this cornerstone of chicago house. the full set. all audio has been lifted from rick lenoir s private collection of reel to reel tapes from his basement and remastered accordingly. this reissue has been realised with the full involvement of thompson & lenoir and is 100% legit! dont snooze, this one deserves a spot in any self respecting house heads record bag or dj set, classic material made available again for 2016, house is going on!

ali renaults vivod label continues to bring the goods, as recent missives from skatebard and monkeyshop (their first release of any sort for 11 years) emphatically prove. the imprints latest release comes from newcomer paul withey, who follows up a fine contribution to a recent split e.o on ruby hills & diamond mountain, with a debut solo e.p of his own. the five tracks featured are nicely varied stylistically, but all boast the distinctive shimmer of analogue synthesizers and dusty drum machines. highlights include the surging italo-disco revivalism of -pallas-, cheerily positive synth-pop flex of -yes master-, and the curious, radiophonic workshop style weirdness of -beneath the surface-.

-nightbird- erscheint erstmals auf vinyl. das album war zuvor nicht in diesem format erhältlich. die 180 gramm schwere edition wird dem pop-meisterwerk klanglich gerecht.

third release of dancing like quagmire, italian white label (vinyl only) born to make you dance shouting “giggity giggity go”!!! mini-album with five tracks deeply rooted in 20th century russian culture in which neotnas is showing his poetic music style wandering between rough drum patterns, old dusty samples (hard to dig for sure) and hypnotics saxophone melodies. a-side starts with dreamy downtempo intro elin, followed by crispy broken rhythms of colourful tension and closes with breezy and fluffy don’t rush with dubjazz. b-side contains mighty deep house trip morning way, and outro come, where the main character is undoubtedly ivan pona’s magic sax which created an illusory atmosphere over neotnas’s soul beat.

great 2016 re:issue of this 1981 classic

volkoder new track on vinyl, together with some nasty beats from our exclusive catalog. you can not find these gems on any other format - tip

hey everyone, dont be alarmed as we understand that you just heard of us a few weeks back. here we are again with another doobified doozie of a 12inch. from the furthest reaches of the canadian west coast comes a concoction by three well known faces that have a long history of working together, they prefer to remain anonymous for this 12inch for reasons beyond us. were not that good at keeping secrets and have a suspicion that you hear the rambling house that is emitted from this trio brings to your ears will recall something very familiar. johnny lumière and the triads, originally conceived as side characters of the adventures of t-bar and salary man cartoon (never published). the music was recorded during break intervals in the cartoon writing sessions (still seeking illustrator). file this under mystified house with a splash of sunshine. ps:weve been doing our own printed sleeves for the last few records from a really cool print house here in berlin. we think they look unique as they are a print/ fold out designed by our friend dave girard. people seem to be into them and figured we should say that as we are only doing limited runs of them.

the original process of re-mixing repress , records was intended to provide an alternative listening experience which had been optimized for people who went out to dance at discos. john was one of the early pioneers who loved music, understood his craft and had respect for the creative work from which his mixes were derived

a tribute to klang club vol. 2

stockholm-based imprint swedish brandy productions serves up a sultry four track v/a 12 inch with deep and soulful gems. first out on the a side you get the track * legs lover*. equipped with yamaha rs-7000, moog rouge and roland juno 106, moscow based house and techno purist and producer harry light gives us an uncompromising old school deep house groover with crisp pounding beats, stuttering chords and distinct catchy hooks. harry light has previous releases on labels such as artreform, pro-tez and beef to name a few. the a side ends off with the post-disco sounding killer track “overland & sea” by london based producer and dj dan westlake aka westlake72. dan’s sound borrows liberally from the history of club and dance music, mixing and matching eras to create his own contemporary sonic palette, sighting the early and mid 80 s new york post-disco producers such as darryl payne and paul simpson in particular as key influences. on the flip side soultechnic aka deejaykul delivers the deep and classy track “addicted”. rául navarette, the man behind both aliases, has been holding it down since the late 80 s, releasing music on labels like atjazz record company, z records, peng, del, basic fingers and xtrasolar records, and remixing great artists like opolopo, the rurals, gregory del piero, kenny bobien, monday michiru, monodeluxe, diviniti and many more.

reflections is the spectral sound debut of nautiluss, the primary project from torontos graham bertie. his career began, as many do, with practicing mixing records in his bedroom before cutting his teeth in warehouse raves in montreal. after many collaborations and heavy touring early in his career, bertie has chosen to stay in more than go out, leading to a new direction in his music. dont let this lead you to believe hes a slouch in the live department.

at last! this one took literally years to piece together. does dennis bovell need an introduction? i think not but in case you dont know, he is a musical polymath, top flight producer, dub legend and one of the finest artists the uk has ever produced. optimo music has worked with dennis before when he went into green door studios and dubbed out golden teacher to the max. this disco plate ep was already in the works before then but various circumstances caused it to take until now to see the light of day

spell pets backwards to get step. spell step forwards and you get pets going back to basics. step is the new vinyl only label from the founders of pets catz n dogz with a focus on the rawest forms and root functions of dance music. step searches for the fundamentals with undertheradar house and techno thats not afraid to be rough around the edges. its all about the music. this new offering from polands maverick jock eltron (aka eltron john) distills some of his unmistakable energy into 3 riddimandblues cuts. no frills.

the ep entitled deceased unknown, a seemingly morbid piece of art (art/music) but look a little deeper! this ep sees b12 pick up the pace from their previous firescope release brokenunbroken “coduktor” an organ plays some subtle chords behind this track while beautiful drums skip along on top, to create a sonic backdrop for the very quirky melodies and top lines that constantly evolve and interpolate. a spiritual experience ? “dont look down” 808 and 909 drum and pads always a killer combination add to this an odd malformed bass line which never really reveals quite what it is doing makes for a pretty interesting track. don’t look down where is the question “blue and green capsule” a pumping kick drum sets the pace for this track which builds up using classic b12 style drums. the swirling pads and sliding melodies interlaced make this track reminiscent of “epillion” as featured on the classic b12 album “time tourist” on warp records in 1996. a track you can move your feet as well as your head to “minor decay” brain decay , world decay , urban decay , human decay , music decay, unavoidable decay - a simple straightforward techno track using its simplicity to conjure up feelings of sadness and thoughtfulness as well as joy and hope. a new hope finished in glorious red with black splatter vinyl with exclusive artwork by sarah sparkes

* as one of chicagos most mysterious and revered characters, the story of gemini, aka spencer kincy has become something of a myth in recent years – blazing a trail throughout the 90s, prolifically releasing over 200 tracks from 1994 to 1999, spencers music had shades of innovation and soul few of his peers could match. then, suddenly, at the peak of his career, he disappeared.
* anotherday are very proud to bring you the reissue of geminis most complete and varied album – 1997s ‘imagine – a – nation’, originally released on cajual subsidiary relief. you know the music - every track is on youtube, or you have picked up one of the very expensive original pressings on discogs, but here it is, in its fully re-mastered glory!
* rumours and gossip of spencer’s whereabouts and situation have been rife in the music press, and rarely on the money. spencer is alive and well, and wants his music to be heard. this album has been licensed directly from him, and the money made from its exploitation will go directly to him.

die in brasilien geborene, in köln aufgewachsene und in berlin lebende künstlerin dominique dillon de byington alias dillon hatte immer eine klare vision ihrer kunst. zwei alben hat sie bereits veröffentlich. für sie selbst sind beide eigentlich eins, denn sie erzählen eine zusammenhängende geschichte. live war dies stets spürbar, denn die dunkel melodischen songs beider alben bestimmten im magischen wechselspiel ihre shows. als sie 2015 vom berliner foreign affairs festival gebeten wurde, ein einmaliges konzert zu entwickeln, entschied sie sich für eine performance mit einem sechzehnköpfigen frauenchor, der sie und ihr kollaborateur und co-produzent ihrer ersten beiden alben, tamer fahri Özgönenc im juli 2015 live im haus der berliner festspiele begleitete.

morah comes from athens and his record on lux rec mirrors this magnificent, spendid, decadent, rotten and grimy metropolis. a long journey into the greek maze. unsettling at times, not without fear or dismay. and those noises coming from a great distance away, are of fools, demented, lunatics. we invite you to join the chant.

rawax is proud to present ron maney aka dj skull on his own chiwax series called the dj skull saga. this platform will present ron s classic releases from the past and his present works. we re starting the series with the 1993 classic -stomping grounds- which came originaly out on the dutch djax up label. all tracks are remastered!

the return of the silverlining by way of the silverlining dubs trademark that was credited to many a remix during the late 90s and early 00s.

repress 2016, mike huckaby is back on his own label > synth< with the final two tracks in his bassline series. if you were lucky enough to get your hands on bassline 87 (released last year on sushitech) then expect nothing less than two tracks produced from the classic detroit techno sound. hurry quick as you know mike huckaby productions dont last long.

few would challenge the claim that the 1960s and 70s have been the most fertile two decades in the history of popular music ever - a period which, regardless of genre, laid the foundations for everything that has followed. what is more, this period was so fertile that the speed with which tastes changed left a colossal amount of incredible music to gather dust - perhaps most famously a profusion of funk, soul and jazz. it was a musical legacy that lay mouldering until the rise of sampling in late 80s hip-hop precipitated a mad scramble for lost crates and suddenly, the music that became known as rare groove - for obvious reasons (it was rare and very groovy) - experienced a phoenix-like rebirth. a quarter of a century on and a million funk, soul, jazz-funk and rare groove compilations, re-presses and re-releases later, you d think that cupboard was bare and yet, even now, there are gems to be found. pt is re-releasing the rarest of cuts that often were originally only limited runs or private pressings and new compilation down & wired is just such a collection. always soulful, this features everything from mod groovers and northern stompers, to funky bumps and latin heaters. yet while the quality of all cuts is immediately apparent, only one of the eleven has ever been previously been compiled because when pt do rare, they dont mess around. in fact, if these tracks were steaks they d still be walking around eating grass.

deko deko are lena seik and tristan schulze, based in leipzig, germany. the duo creates their music by computer, synthesizer and vocals. conventional song structures are fractured and deconstructed to be reconstructed and defragmented in the end. that might sound experimental but deko deko write hymns with orchestral parts and mad choirs, but always electronical too. neustadt is the first album of the band, to be released on o*rs in september 2016

when trends in music can come and go in the blink of an eye, ten years is a long time to stay relevant, passionate and real on the frontline. from its roots in the parisian club scene by way of its spiritual home at fuse in brussels and so on to the globe-trotting, multi-faceted entity that it is today, lessizmore is living proof of how to do a decade right.

bring the balance! gorge & markus homm join forces for their first 8bit collaboration and with each of them contributing own productions plus a joined feature, this ep has deep pressed right on. come into my life by homm hooks with rollin’ drums and a dirty saw bass to go along. don t give up is straight up gorge - combining evolving synths, fading delays and filtered vox into a deep club groove. balance brings together the best in both styles and delivers pure dance floor quality. a great premiere for this duo & rumor has it there’s more to come..

jerome hill (super rhythm trax / dont) dons his techno hat once again for an outing on fresh new label * swords* and opens up with * the creeper*, a brooding ear worm of a banger that skulks around unhinged as fm synthesis drills a hole in your eardrums with solid and moreish bass keeping things very heavy indeed. on the flip we have * drum war* which is just that, sharp snare rolls puncture a heaving carcass of crunchy kicks and bass with tension riding high. also included is a bonus drumapella for djs to utilise when extra snares are needed!! lastly, the original mix of * plastic jam* gets a deserved release after a more stripped back drum heavy mix appeared on the excellent power vacuum label last year. the original mix sees a happy melding of broken beat techno with old skool 1992 hardcore. early dj support from: tiga, richy ahmed, bodyjack, teed, mano le tough, ford foster, pangaea, g-23, addison groove, dan curtin, dop, hrdvsion, franklin de costa/mudkid, ben sims, paco osuna, len faki, serge, iron blu, dense & pika, perc, dj haus.

nice price deal !!! not just a mothers day anthem but a huge floorbomb, too!

nice price deal !!! ever since the original mix appeared on the miami sampler, it gained full support across the board. both filthy rich and james fitch are no strangers to the label. james fitch of course being one half of the infamous prok & fitch duo and responsible for smoking releases, such as the new wave and salome de bahia. the last one also being remixed by filthy rich, whos releases have gained a lot of attention over the past few years. the rich & fitch team turned out a quirky, funky electro club killer, perfectly blending their two unique sounds. incl. original mix, accapella tool. johnstar remix, gabriel & castellon remix. supported by axwell, alex gaudino, muzzaik, funkerman, rene amez, cube guys, roger sanchez, laidback luke, jesse garcia, dj chus, atfc, mark knight,....

nice price deal !!! #8 of the berlin based afterhour label knall comes from an old buddy. joz is back. actually he was released from the loony farm, due to some decent behaviour… so dont dare and play these tunes to the authorities with the white jackets… in favour of our beloved minimal producer. straight up & stripped down rhythms with a certain dose of twisted illness underneath off kilter basses and stabs all hammered together with some serious soundefx. well done.. now

nice price deal !!! from album opener >underground< the sonic spectrum unfolds over the ensuing 12 tracks to leave the listener in no doubt that this is the rawest and most direct record das pop have ever recorded. gone are the synthesizers and sequencers of previous albums, to be replaced with the simple sound of three musicians in a studio. as stephen daewale put it: theyre such a brilliant live band that we wanted to capture that on tape. so we literally just recorded them playing together in a room. and because theyre such good musicians and songwriters, the results sounded amazing.
includes full release on cd.

nice price deal !!! 2001 release on belgian serie imprint out of the constant stream of high quality productions by fabrice lig.

nice price deal !!! careless is back! after releasing incredible music by mr.g, boris (co production by daniel wang!) and gui.tar, its now time to welcome a new face to the roster: monk ponk. after releasing a well receipted 12inch on phoenix musique last year and teaming up with the kittball posse, the brazilian poster boy is now ready to release his next sure shot ep on careless. bass line-heavy tech house grooves with keen drums and killer arrangements, will turn dance floors into war fields – a good thing when it comes to dance 12inches. but monk ponks music has more than that: a very cool and airy vibe, maybe deriving from his brazilian roots? so dont sleep on this one! careless goes from strength to strength!

nice price deal !!! airplane sampler with great funky techhosue music by luca guerrieri vs double dee, federico scavo ft. ambro and luca guerrieri ft. stefano scalzi

nice price deal !!! brand new release on the celebrated golf channel label. already causing much online and mixtape fervour from a handful of tps released late last year, this is sure to be another sought after cult classic from the catalogue! dominik von senger may be something of a mystery to most, but his early 80s kraut rock / electronic work on german labels f³nfundvierzig, harvest & verabra have become firm favourites with kraut-rock afficionados and balearic types alike. wonderfully melodic and suitably epic >no name< takes its cue from this fertile era of deutsch muzika and updates it for todays ears and dancefloors, with the kon tiki voyage mix especially spicing up the structure of the original into a more toe-tappingly beautiful piece. the real deal folks! in short, another totally essential hole in one from gc - dont sleep!

nice price deal !!! brand new two tracker from the genre wrecking wild style crew from oz. quality dancefloor tnt as always.. dont sleep on this!
