for bass cultures 10th release d julz welcome back gez varley, aka mr. g. having first worked his recently released >still here (get down)< artist album on rekids, mr. g now makes his full debut on bass culture with the >extended pain< e.p. two devastatingly good originals in the form of >sunday blues< and >jbs< sees the g man revisiting those classic, deeper sounds, whilst delivering the fresh and upfront tastes as only he can. repaying the remix favour for bc003 is esperanza boss and bass culture favourite, kasper. getting to grips with >sunday blues< the madrid man turns the smooth mood of the original on its head. industrial sized beats, blinding rides and a preciously warped synth line, give a whole new face to already beautiful original

the house nerds with 2 killer tracks for lovers of rekids & cabin fever. mystery bells >down deep and dark< went the name of an old strictly rhythm compilation and thats a pretty good description of mystery bells. 909 beats propel this monster along with the payoff coming via a big-room breakdown. follow that with a variety of skippy sp1200 drum programming to finish it off. (did we mention the bells?) huge. library session no. 4 is bouncy proto-garage mixes together with spaced out vocal samples and some serious chordage. channeling old downtown 161 vibes into the present day, the nerds provide a nice counter-measure to the darker sounds of mystery bells.

quality extended player from smooth agent records featuring dope cuts from the uks nebraska who brings the super sick green marimba thats as much house as it is dirty tech, james blackstar johns techers untitled, & south africas blaq soul who finishes the 12 inch with down to my root.

session victim are back with yet more 21st century explorations into the thing we call house. it s been a busy 12 months for the german duo since they re previous delusions outing, maintaining momentum by releasing some of the most inventive, warm, deep and soulful music on a host of vinyl orientated labels such as real soon, hairy claw and retreat

its been 18 months since our first nang release, d-pulses >more<. nestled on that release was an extra ep track called >highway to saturn<. much to our delight it turned out to be a bit of a gem. when it featured on the tirk 02 and kitsune ponystep / jerry bouthier compilations we knew we were all onto something. (cue the overdrive and the interstellar vocal.) slovenian-based, us singer, hannah mancini, provides those cosmic vocals, ably recorded by sare havlicek in sunny ljubljan. after a sly re-titling of the track (to avoid confusion with the original the name has been extended to >on a highway to saturn<) its on to the obligatory over-the-top nang remix package...first up is a new version from d-pulse for those long summer nights. their >australian shore reversion< mix slows down the groove to a balmy evening by noosa shores pace. space-rock, guitar solos, smouldering synths and lazy rhythms all combine to make this one for the beach house. sare havlicek adds a couple of mixes of his own. keeping things hi-energy he goes for the disco jugular with his trademark stabby synths and tight production. nang newcomers, proper heat, strip things back and go for a slow-grooving baltic-disco chugger. rounding off the remix package is japanese based jan ken po (aka max essa). he delivers a dance floor friendly version with a big and bold walking bass riff and tasteful synths

nice price deal !!! for their fifth release todd bodine (highgrade, treibstoff, mothership) joined the cologne based label klangfarbe schallplatten and created a high-quality ep, which is hard to find today. duplexer (a1) initially allocates with bongos in space, to furthermore stabilize itself with more bass, percussion and volume, which leads into a durable, massive flow that s willing to persist bigger club duties as well. alpha (b2) is structurized akin to duplexer, but celebrates the true force, the true might of minimal by the use of consistently repetition of beat- and sound patterns as also psychedelic acid-parts in good, old plastikman tradition. morning breeze on b2 finally starts warmer and more housy, in a deep and easy lean-back manner, to distinctly cool down after a while and to approach the previous tracks. after all, the from nowhere to somewhere ep constitutes an extremely coherent ep, where it s obvious, that all three tracks mate together - as they are

umami who just collaborated with aka aka now join nicone with this late summer dancefloor smasher on side a: i come to you (incl. nicone remix)! umami who claim to make songs not tracks prove this on side b where they not only remixed nicones hanaetano but gave it an additional catchy vocal line. >im down on my knees<! limited to 500 picture sleeves!!

berghain resident marcel fengler is one of the frontmen of raw and forward pushing techno. judging by his previous three eps for the label, its clear to see how fenglers work revolves around a love for tough, angular and edgy tools for the floor. this fourth offering continues the energy with three jacking, factory-forged tracks leading us further down his mysterious path.

whether hes producing singalong house anthems (la mezcla) or hard edged tech house (red tape), michel cleis obsession with sound has seen him garner a reputation as one of electronic musics most exciting production forces. with recent remixes such as tracey thorns >why does the wind?< and harrison crumps >deep down inside< still rocking dance floors aplenty, cleis next solo move has understandably been an eagerly anticipated one.

mr white returns with a 3 track special. this is the follow up to the sun cant compare, the 2007 highlight - and once again this does not let you down. back with his mentor larry heard who brings the best out of the uplifting vocalist. side a - aeroplane lifts and drives on this tech-house journey. on the flip heard treats use to his deep world of house - larry at his best with mr whites twisted vocals on inside your mined. they round off the ep with you dont answer - a cross over tack of pure electronic pop simplicity.

there was no doubt that label boss fred everything wanted to get his hands on the remix, taking a similar approach to his recent juno-chart-topping disco remixes of hot toddys down to love for oms sub-label smoke & mirrors. fred ups the tempo a little but instead of going the 4/4 route,he uses a laidback,almost freestyle beat over a crisp production. this is house-not-house at its best!also included is the bonus track from blacklodge called >broken promises< which shapes up as another late night monster.early support from danny krivit, mark farina, tortured soul, nacho marco, franck roger, lovebirds..

the >captain deutschland serie continues on the vinyl only format and is limited to 300 copies, all hand numbered.
dandy jack is well known for his multiple collaborations. its now about time to lay them down on wax.
the second chapter is a honest, loud and direct ode to the joy of queen bass. if you are searching for deep house and abstract minimal you should better pass your way.
dandy jack teams up with geneva fellows lad and quenum on the a side for what could be described as a tremendous and heavy ride into the catacombs of techno. sonja moonear has a slightly happier and smoother answer on the b side and challenges us with a long and percussive intro that leads into a melancholic twist. quenum and lad arent new to the electronic music and have been active over a decade. they have already been working together for labels like num and thema. sonja is dandys partner in crime as junction sm and ruta5s half head.

big twelve from us label slant featuring glasgow s edit select and alex smoke. label owner let s go outside supplies the b-side.slant s fourth 12 yields two mighty pieces of techno. one side is let s go outside s epic valentino , the other is the absolutely wicked the retainer from edit select and alex smoke. all the criteria for a classic split are met and well exceeded here.the pairing of edit select and alex smoke is simply brilliant. the a side s the retainer is crowd control. alex s signature vocal cut ups and chugging percussion layered atop edit select s hypnotic, repetitive style make for a true techno masterpiece.on the aa side, let s go outside throws down a deep, seductive, tough cut with valentino . airy pads float atop pulsing bass and a subtle, driving orchestra of percussion and static. the entire piece slowly ebbs before crashing down, repeating, the pace deliberate and guided by soft words about first loves.

newcomer ricardo rae with a straight stomper on this hot tango solo debut. >hold on< is a tangy gem of crisp, clean and snapping deep house - loads of thick basslines, key stabs and some jazzy elements working nicely in the mix. on the flip the hot chuck love kills it with his mix - toughening up the percussion a bit, laying down a buzzing bassline and throwing down a tasty breakdown, all with that trademark chuck love funky strut. solid stuff for the youngman, heather and fred everything fans here.

bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk

carte blanche (mehdi and riton) crank out a top-shelf banger, already getting big plays by tiga and brodinski. aeroplane slows down the tempo and glides the waterbed out onto the dancefloor. h.i.t.

murmur return with a brace of killers, their first new material since mean 011s split release with bovill back in 2008. over the course of the half dozen years since beginning their meanwhile imprint, murmurs output has been so sparing, evanescent, and epitomising the labels low-key approach to steppers house music and horizontal techno with an implicit electronic beatdown sound, that acknowledges their pitched down sound, so heavily influenced by their early south african adventures and exploits.

two tracks taken from the turn the page lp. a side >release< - calming things down a little, >release< continues the tempo with a bouncing bass and booming sub to match as delicate synth stabs and vocal washes trickle over the top to make for a great cut as the lp journey picks up pace. aa side >the sleeper< is anything but with its rollin? bassline and stepping drums that smash any club when dropped. a sure-footed crowd pleaser that shows the guys getting seriously engrossed in some vintage d&b vibes.
