eddy romero & frink were digging in the rock formations beneath earth s crust and have quarried a track which was forged into the newest schallbox-vinyl straight by the pressure of the continental plates! schallbox018 is an expedition through a scarcely lit tunnel, down into a mysterious and cryptic underworld. the tracks pull fiction and element unfold a maelstrom that takes us ever deeper down into a dark abyss. pull fiction in m.ins remix version is a percussive club monster that gives over to sparsely flickering lights revealing the way onwards, while the mystical voices in steve cole & ronald christophs remix of element take us back into the daylight again.

british powerhouse alan fitzpatrick returns to figure with his second ep on the label after 2009 s weed killer / science . since then its clear that alan has continued on a dedicated, valiant quest to find his own sound, and the results are on show here, with a heavyweight, emotive and futuristic techno three-tracker. like a warm rush of endorphins on the summer breeze, alan s rich up-building sound is perfectly represented in tracks like a subtle change , with its jubilant stab-led melody, or the modern club-weapon vibes of trigger finger . harking back to late 90s uk idm and proper dub-techno atmospheres, fitzpatrick then gracefully crafts a down-tempo, space-out version of a subtle change for the b-side, providing the afterhours sessioners with a new buzz-track.

now already almost a year has gone by since “inspiration”, the collaboration between jah wobble and singer pj higgins has come out on sonar kollektiv. with “chaingang (remixes)” we get a further renewal of one of the eight tracks off the album. for instance utrecht, netherlands based multi-instrumentalist and producer pitto gets down to work to morph the song into an eight-minute spheric techno extravaganza. some sort of a teaser for his upcoming album on sonar kollektiv later this year (although it will sound completely different). also releasing an album on sonar kollektiv in 2015 is producer marlow from weimar. his voodoo version of “chaingang” draws nearer to the original and incorporates the jubilee style gospel chanting to a hypnotically impelling rhythm. at the right time at the right place this remix will cause outmost frenzy on the dancefloor.

a1 - the newness- combines dystopian sound landscapes with dubby atmosphere and whoopy beats. b side opens with - g.i.r.r engine-, reminiscent to -never engine-, one of cristian s best works up to date, blueprint of minimal techno with no additions. last but not the least, - box engine 124- slows speed down a bit and finishes the ep with dark and funky though spacey trip to another dimension.

anders enges interest in modular synthesizers comes from a desire to shut down conscious decisions about form and to focus on rhythm and timbre. this does however not land in traditional techno but rather in a riff-oriented style, the riff being both rhythm and melody and also a morphing entity in the music. drums and percussion attempt to follow this entity, while maintaining a link to the dance music pulse. the resulting style makes for a hybrid timewarped experience of travelling a parallell electronic music reality, a brooding technoid that grooves

after the last lessizmore release found san proper and maayan nidam crossing swords for the simmering, jammed-out tones of it was a night like this, now the label turns to another close ally for a slice of discerning, upfront house music. louis mcguire lives many different lives in music, from drumming with indie pop outfit ballet school to playing bass for lo-fi electronica group the waves & us. now though his own solo productions are being noticed in the house and techno world, with this new ep following on from a well-received debut on supply records. the diversity of mcguire’s musical leanings feeds into his distinctive sound, as his own take on stripped down, sensual house music bristles with unconventional energy to make for an unforgettable experience that steps up to the most creative frontiers of dance music. live drum sounds rattle around the mix free from quantized safety, while the melodic tones come on warm and fuzzy, capturing the hazy romance of a late morning session as much as the early part of the evening. it’s apparent that mcguire’s weapon of choice is the mpc, channeling his love of gritty beats in the grand tradition of point g and j. dilla. you can hear the spirit of the most adventurous micro house pioneers in the quirky funk of light hearted, while Óreitha revels in the transcendental qualities of a sustained groove without even a whisper of monotony. even with these unusual qualities the music is resolutely built for the dancefloor, and that mcguire manages to be so creative and so focused in the same beat is reason enough to keep tabs on this multifarious and unpredictable operator.

mike gervais is back with the second release from deep within the system lair. relentlessly coded synth lines snake through rough kicks and industrial soundscapes on two seething original cuts, with two remixes completing the package. luis flores (clr, droid, blank code) delivers a pounding metallic reinterpretation, while doubt (mistress, don’t be afraid, disposable commodities) takes things down a cloudy and twisted path into murky

2015 ist das jahr des neuen albums von alex bau, das ende april seine definition von modernem, intelligentem techno mit einem düsteren und zugleich auch organischem touch präzise definiert. ein klares bekenntnis zum sound. frei von hochglanz-bildern und ablenkenden elementen kommt dies album mit techno in seiner unverfälschten, puren form mit einem einzigen fokus: die musik selbst! nach 5 jahren quasi überfällig ist es definitiv an der zeit, daß einer der am meisten für ihren sound respektierten technoproduzenten nach mehr als 100 produktionen und remixes auf szenerelevanten labels wie chris liebing s -clr-, techniasia s -sino-, dem englischen technoaushängeschild -sleaze records-, dem legendären harthouse oder auch kürzlich auf sven väth s -cocoon recordings- nun erneut ein techno-statement in form eines full-length-albums zu setzen. und genau hierfür kam nur eine plattform in frage: alex eigenes label -credo-, das vor allem in den letzten beiden jahren mit seinen eindrucksvollen releasaes mehr als durchgestartet ist.

the second record of athens based equivalence records comes from the labels co-owner and overall man of the hour, kreon. following in the steps of the first release, which has already been played by ricardo villalobos in fabric, 002 features two stripped down stompers, emanating analog warmth and hiss, while holding the groove and mystery throughout. groovy, low key, sub dub - perfect for those low ceiling places in the late early hours. early support by the usual suspects.

argot is excited to welcome john barera & will martin to the label with their spectacular ep, 1.2,3 (feels right). still aglow after the warm reception to their dolly-released debut album, *grace*, the boston/nyc duo deliver a versatile record whose four house cuts burn no matter where you put the needle down. john and will flex their skills on anthemic hardware jams like the title track and *high tide*, the rhythmic whirlwind of *spin cycle*, and sublime deep house groove, *the bog*.

strange happenings are going on down at scrutton street, ec1. with release after release cementing the names of those based or working out of the studio bunker, a desire for pushing the boundaries of electronic music is primary with little concern for whats hip. so if anyone can tim can and here with his newly birthed pseudonym comes junior fairplay. with a one-sided release and remix to his name on crimes of the future a glimpse has been offered of whats in store, but how do you like me now? gives it straight.

bitter moon has criss-crossed europe to gather a trio of heavy house hitters for lunes de fiel vol. 2. creme organization prodigy innershades gets the show on the road with the synth slamming groove of -moments of euphoria-. new beat memories bounce alongside rumbling rhythms in track guaranteed to ignite speakers. next stop is germany with snuff crew and -your hands-. the jack experts fillet their trademark raw edges for a smooth and soulful piece of late night chitown. smoke curls around chords, claps are softened as samples turn in a twilight haze. the final destination, italy, is bathed in the 303 sunshine of -#acid-. the white rabbit recordings founder uses the building blocks of chicago to produce a fluid floor filler. cymbals, cow-bells, toms and snares are soaked in a devilish brew of acid. bohemian body jerk to a 4/4 beat to bring down the curtain on this latest instalment of lunes de fiel.

atjazz on local talk! pretty good combo right? well, just wait until you hear fox tooth and we re quite sure you ll agree with us that this is something above normal rank. martin iveson aka atjazz gave us a release that will work just as well on big sound systems as well as in those dark house basements. the original version is an electronic house jam that s equipped with all necessary tools in order to peak in the main room but without all the played out tech-house schemes. it s uplifting yet dark and carves a very personal groove - yum ! oh, don t miss the killer break down...big! the second version comes in the form of his inspired atjazz galaxy aart dub and this to be fair is more of a remix than a dub. here we step straight down to the darkness for a warming deep house cut that sounds like something from the prescription archives but still retaining the trademark atjazz sound. this is simply, sophisticated house music for those who like things real.

this ep contains 3 powerfull techno-tracks with dubby elements, typical stripped down mike dehnert sound.

another fine example of funky-soul at its very best. while the a-side is highly regarded within the northern soul scene, the b-side is the tune why funk 45 collectors are after this beauty. bot sides were recorded in the early 1970s and pressed on a small press run on 45rpm single. original copies are nowadays very hard to find and due to the outstanding quality sought after by record collectors worldwide.

here at nang towers we are really happy to have back slovenian talent sare havlicek, without any doubt one of our favourite producers, and to present you all his latest creation *movies for lovers*. sometimes we like to try something a bit different. often the process of creating an album can be a not-so-simple task: which tracks are the singles? which is the breather track? do we have ten songs? have we covered all the bases? the list goes on. sometimes the answer is to throw convention out the window and just try to harness a burst of energy and get it down on eighteen minutes-a-side of vinyl. we gave sare the following brief: lock yourself in a studio for four weeks and come up with a piece of cohesive work. abandon the formulas, do some experimenting and (most importantly) try some things you wouldnt normally do. *movies for lovers* is the result of that session and encapsulates the feeling of the journey sare embarked on to bring you this album.

joy adegoke und wim janssens aka joy wellboy sind seit jahren unzertrennlich, ein paar in leben und kunst. ihr zweites album wedding klingt so komplett und vielfältig, wie man sich ein popalbum 2015 nur wünschen kann: songwriting trifft crooning, elektrobeat kuschelt mit chanson, es gibt minnegesang auf der tanzfläche, herzzerreißende duette und engtanzballaden für die ewigkeit.

the original opens with a field recording intro followed shortly after by heavy bass shots and a pulsating kick drum. snare patterns and an underwater synth melody hit the speakers with an abstract touch, while halfway through the pace changes with a new bass coming in. an experimental and brave track, it reflects idriss djing style and his long sets, going into different mental spaces, a wavelike combination of beats and up&down rhythms. eduardo de la calle s trademark analog sounds fill his tribute remix with acid keyboards, rim shot grooves, industrial noises and metallic vibes, swinging with a rolling bass line and bringing the original percussions to the fore.

schleissen 1 marks the beginning of a major, four-part project from stuart leath s emotional response label an in-depth exploration of the outer reaches of drone and ambient. it s a grand scheme, highlighted perfectly by the grandiose scale of serbian maverick abul mogard s opener a hypnotic, 19-minute exploration of modular drone music that s as freaky as it is beautiful. stefan schwander dons his now familiar harmonious thelonious alias on the flip, laying down two brilliantly melodious synthesizer pieces inspired by the cyclical compositions of acclaimed minimalist composer steve reich. both pieces are borderline stunning, and more than worth the admission price.

to keep people guessing, the fifth instalment from australia s best selling people must jam label takes things in a house direction with andy ash at the controls. andy has put through an immense ep of varying house flavours to satisfy an all tastes. the ep kicks of with the monster disco vibed hurricane fantasy track. a beautiful summery looper that s sure to keep the floors burning hot! move is one of andy s straight up house cuts - which he is becoming well known for, a deep sounding organ line carrying the track forward with stabs and a nice little vocal sample to boot. mixing things up a little on the flip, our good friend - ron basejam has provided a sublime adriatic excursion remix of move . ron takes the track to a totally different place with uplifting piano lines and orchestral string stabs building to a lovely crescendo. this remix should be earmarked for croatia 2015. finally dommah takes the ep into almost techno territory with building pads and solid beats resulting in a monster track for when the strobelight pulses and the heads go down!

in part 2 of the laffer ep marco bernardi is going head down, straight ahead and striving for energy. attack of the dessert stormers is an overload of dark electro power, six minutes of squirming bassline-driven movement with surges of intensity from analogue bleeps and subtle drum pattern shifts. theres no let up on the flip side where two sliders brings equal force but in a more techno style. right from the start youll be grabbed by the bassline, but this one rewards extended listening as the track develops progressively with new melodies and metallic touches taking you deeper and deeper.

this four track ep kicks off with cladistic mutation , a sparse underwater soundtrack with only the gentlest suggestion of rhythm, lots of reverb and tiny little details that float by like micro-bacterial debris. m2 is a more beat driven dub track but is still way below the surface: the kicks are smooth and hunched over, the chords are smeared out in all directions and the atmosphere is lo-fi and grainy. on the flip, grain gets even more energetic, with firm techno kick drums setting a stern tempo as all sorts of aqueous details and spacious effec ts peppe r the groove. there s a heavenly nature to the pads and an industrial texture to the percussion that makes this a cerebral but physical affair from start to finish. lastly, neurowaves closes things down in blissfully dubbed out and horizontal fashion, with large sweeping pads, tweaked filters and evocative little details all placing you firmly under water.

sworn virgins is one of the many perverted projects from the blossoming mind of mutado pintado, legendary vocalist for paranoid london and save (the light was such a hit for us), head of warmduscher, general purveyor of chaos and diy videos. so this is all about rage and bits of broken down computer melted in tar, and this is probably our strongest release yet. we will let you look for what a sworn virgin actually is

swedish house hero tiger stripes steps to the barnhus with twilight – a high-octane destroyer of clubs loaded with thunderous drums and shadowy yet sweet organ melodies. the dub version strips the track right down while adding some extra crash ‘n boom before studio barnhus comrade hnny closes things out with a slow-swingin spook story recorded straight to cassette. vinyl only until further notice.
