anders trentemoller has become one of the most respected names in cutting edge electronic music in the last few years. his rise to notoriety was sparked by his early, techy releases for poker flat and audiomatique and has since gone on to stellar highs with his own personal take on the genre, spanning, pop, rock, indie and classical. his debut album >the last resort< was released in 2006 to much international acclaim, and the producer also began to become an in-demand remixer in the house and techno world. as the decade wore on his sound continued to progress, opening up his studio to more live instrumentation, and a looser, rock-meets electronic vibe with his stunning >into the great wide yonder< lp. now this special double cd and double vinyl release celebrates some of the producer s favourite remixes he completed for other artists, and also some of his personal picks where other musicians have reworked his music.

this time they bring to the table 2 of the most rolling smashing tunes from the benefit camp. whats good about social music is that it has space and head room for you to mix the tune nicely in whatever way shape or form you choose. if you want to bashment switch it you can, or you want to use it for dd (double dropping) its there for you to do so or even roll out the mix. and the m.cs dont need to fight against the frequencies they can just do their thing without struggling.

after the success of their debut 12inch – the visions ep featuring james johnston, yse, tone control and basic soul unit – with support coming from the full house spectrum (including alex agore, brawther, danny tenaglia, deetron, ethyl, groove armada, red rackem and many more), its only natural city fly follow up their 1st release with a new ep to further showcase the deeper house sounds synonymous with their ethos. wanting to expand their vision yet stay true to their roots, for their 2nd release city fly are proud to present the ‘csa ep’ by creative swing alliance aka pablo valentino & steven wobblejay. not content in running faces records – featuring releases from simbad and danilo plessows motor city drum ensemble/inverse cinematics aliases – and releasing 12s under his creative swing alliance, kid swing and hipster wonkaz pseudonyms, pablo also co-runs the already iconic and buy-on-sight mcde imprint with danilo plessow and is an influential component in the label gaining notoriety and cult status with its raw cuts series – ubiquitous in many a djs set regardless of genre. steven has released records on compost records, soultronik & jazzmin under his moniker steppah huntah and played double bass for the japanese jazz band sleepwalker.

as the summer comes to a close, italojohnson releases its fourth release thereby urging party people to get in the dancing swing once again. on the long recorded side, you will find a progressive house track that can be hardly surpassed in any type in its directness. an unfussy arrangement, a straight oppressive subject and a low flying breakdown compose the a-stamped side. the sincerity of the first track of the flipside doesnt come short of any expectations. the concrete in-your-face-drumming, piano lessons and stabbing strings combined with the italojohnson charm becomes the (double a) aa-side. why? because italojohnson doesnt do b-sides. finally, the aa-2 track emotionally rounds up the release with italojohnsons trademark-sound in which all the brothers and sisters are invited to explore. make love!

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

its only natural that martyn has risen above the cliches and pitfalls of the vacuous dj world. over his 15 years djing, 6 years producing, and 4 years a&ring his 3024 imprint, the holland-born / washington dc-based artist has forged his own path every step of the way. his multi-leveled career has kept balance with a focus on art, and his every sacrifice is preserved in an endless dedication to music. as a continual record buyer and beat seeker, martyn is a beacon of hope through leagues of passion-less djs and producers, the ghost people: plastic, hollow shells that focus only on the in-the-now grooves or keeping in line with trends.

produced by close friend black coffee, the original mix provides a suitably deep and meaningful platform for bantwinis heartfelt lyrics about phony relationships and, in turn, his soulfully immaculate delivery. lush afro-edged rhythms lead into smart bursts of trumpet, cool double bass-lines and stirring rhodes solos - a rich musical weave more than amplifying bantwinis performance.
a wealth of stylish remixes skilfully widens wasting my times dancefloor appeal. gallic house sophisticate rocco ups the tempo, cracking whip-smart beats against thumping kick drums and infectious metallic key stabs, as does paris kingpin dan ghenacia, thanks to a fiesty vocal remix and dub fusing gothic mood and jack-happy sass in fine style. ghenacias versions have already, in fact, become a thunderous week-in-week-out staple of his ibizan circo loco residency at dc10 this summer. elsewhere, real tone main man franck roger offers a neat, dubby riff on black coffees original production, injecting sweet balafon melodies and additional percussive pep.

this ep was formed with a concept in mind that involves a natural phenomenon occurring in various / different fields of science and nature - anti-parallelism. as the word suggests, anti-parallelism describes the natural relationship between two occurrences, objects or even non-material things, that are virtually identical and yet oriented in different directions. during the time the music was made i was researching natural phenomenons like this one. naturally, this became part of the nucleus, fabric and inspiration for this work. in genetics, for example, if the >antiparallelity< is corrupted during the process of dna replication it is called a mutation. this mutation can be anything from totally inconsequential to critical for the survival of the whole living organism. a double helix of dna contains two helixes, that are naturally anti-parallel to one another. in physics this could be two of the same objects moving through space and time in opposite directions - just like the instruments or parts of a beat in electronic music production. so metaphorically speaking, anti-parallelism holds a natural balance to keep it safe and stable. although this might sound all very conceptual and theoretical this music is obviously just what it is - it is not intended to teach math, physics or biology in any way. the above mentioned aspect has simply found its way through my head and might have led to a piece of music that somehow, at least for me, is connected to these thoughts. it might evoke something very different for you

stepping out of the shadows in 2007 when just sixteen years old, jokers stock has risen dramatically since. aided by him releasing defining cuts like >digidesign<, >the vision (let me breathe)< and >tron<, he now finds himself thick in the recent resurgence of british electronic music. bbc radio 1s zane lowe premiered >here come the lights< in late july on his coveted hottest record in the world radio spot. moreover joker premiered most of his new albums tracks at the glastonbury festival this past summer, just one stop during a busy summer of worldwide festival performances. with the world traveled and a deal with 4ad signed, he is finally ready to appease his waiting public and release his debut album, the vision. prior to that though, album tracks >here come the lights< featuring silas of turboweekend and >my trance girl<, are being released on a purple coloured double a-side 12 inch.

canadian electro mainstay lowfish, lets loose a preview of his forthcoming >hypersensitivity< full-length. lowfish is gregory de rocher, and barring last years >memories…< album, a compilation of vintage archive recordings, this double-a-side 7 inch is actually the first new lowfish release since 2008. while his last 2 albums could best be described as serene and clinical, electro at its most austere, lowfishs return to suction records, the label he co-runs with solvent, also marks a return to a more melancholic electropop sound.

torontonian quartet, azari & iii have announced their debut self-titled album on turbo recordings / loose lips records / modular. it follows the release of the single >hungry for the power<, which erupted a storm of awe on the underground music scene, and a collaborative track >stay here< with friendly fires in 2010. the record is set to become the sound of a dystopian summer with their innately brooding beat and sordid-pop edge.
azari & iiis unique blend of moody electronica, dark yet hooky vocal choruses and analog-thick rhythms has earned them a hardcore following and sees this album as one of the most-anticipated in the calendar. the four-piece, consisting of producer/musicians dinamo azari and alixander iii with vocalists fritz helder and starving yet full, have crafted a defining sound that relishes in its references while maintaining a future perspective.
from the velvety refrains of >reckless with your love< through to the creeping melancholy of >manhooker< and the unhinged technopera of >undecided<, their album possesses an individual classic-future feel, with trademark lush synthesizations, biting soulful choruss and ominous overtones.

kris wadsworth is an integral part of detroits new wave, and with its time he wears his citys heart on his sleeve, delving into the electronic music legacy of his home town and showcasing the range of his own talent. the epic 10-minute title track >its time< is secret journey through the citys pulsing underground. it begins with a primal techno kick that rings out from afar, distorted by distance and brimming with a sense of anticipation. a gravelly male voice demands to know what time it is, declaring that >its time for that dirty shit, that dope shit, that detroit shit<, and the beat then kicks in, gritty and purposeful. the track then does a surprising about-face, abandoning the fist-pumping techno for just high hats and vocals, and transforming into a new phase that nods to detroits other great legacy: electro. grimy electro breaks and wiry melodies are spun before evolving again into deep house, with a see-saw duet of pads, and double-time hand claps. kris own >move dat ass remix< of his track >det sound< takes the dubby 2010 original, and reworks it as a ferocious bass and drums workout with dizzy vocal arrangements and blasting sirens.

to accompany the >best kept secrets 3< double cd, these 8 new exclusive tracks will also be released on proper double vinyl!
