in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.

already known for his phat basslines and raw attitude towards his production, s.jay does not hold back on any of his tracks for the record.

10 releases deep manmakemusic return to something from the labels co-founders, love&mercy.

after the success of our first release, with kessell&substance, granulart recordings is proud to present the second release, adding one of the irish finest dub&detroit techno producers to our small (for now) roster. strong ep with three tracks, a great mix of top dub techno with just the right amount of classic detroit sound.

it has been four long years since noahs last album, blind alignments, was released here on thoughtless, and much has happened since: extensive tour dates, numerous singles and collaborations, a lingering break-up, a move across the atlantic, 80 releases here on preds thoughtless imprint, tests of new music technology, and the sudden death of his father, all this and more transpired as his latest full-length effort, third culture, took shape. traversing these highs and lows, the result breaks new ground for pred, building on the dub-inflected techno and house that fills his discography, yet reaching far beyond anything we have heard from him before.

pomelos newest outing is delivered by the nyc based producer extraordinaire brendon moeller, a real master in the field of techno and dub, also well known for his productions under the monikers beat pharmacy and echologist.despite his 10 albums and over 50 singles released for some of the best labels out there, it is three of brendon’s strongest tracks to date that have made it on his reconcile ep. the ep’s title track promises a subtle fusion of house and techno through a loosly swinging techno groove, and duly delivers with echoing chord cascades and spluttering sound effects. machiavellian impulse picks up the intensity with a more direct, pounding beat, to which stuttering, spacious stabs add an element of deepness and dub. loudness sustain decay finally has a whole side to itself, starting out as a lofty house mover, with a pulsing wild pitch synths slowly adding tension until the track’s wild finale.

tagline: sync with natures pulse and love shall heave first on the a we have the title track, *love heave* perpetuating the pelvic funk. sync with the pulse, share in its groove and ride the heave wave.

supreme psychedelic, dubbed out house trips

our favourite swedish house duo is back…more dirty than ever! the follow-up to the previous eps moody & trapped is nothing short of brilliant. waisted with its plucked strings is classic deep house held together by a bumpy groove, soulful vocals & slick keyboard but still maintaining the formula that defines dirtytwo and their finest work to date. talking 2 u is where dirtytwo gets deep down and gritty. chunky house chords, a meaty bassline, cut-up voice samples in full basement effect. flip over for the hard on edit of talking 2 u which goes one step further adding some acid lines and a raw basement feeling. a dub for those who seek a more raw and heavier tool. local talk is talking to you!

the shadowy uk techno artist, a sagittariun, releases his debut album this november, to coincide with the sagittarius zodiac period. dream ritual comes off the back of a steady stream of well received eps from the archer on his own elastic dreams label, releases that have captured the imaginations of the electronic community for their depth and diversity, where old techno breaks collide with detroit techno aesthetics, ambient dub sits alongside industrially charged electro, and many more sound palettes inbetween.

mr. statik is back on mos ferry with his new ep roll down the shutters. and he got massive support from sasha perera (jahcoozi). she performed the laid-back vocals on this release. remixes by dapayk and daze maxim complete the package - but enough with the name dropping. the original track shows influences in dub, but with an elegant touch.

the cultured minimood extra label introduces london based newcomer tcherneyan with remixes from the mighty och and minimoods own volt.mar on green colour vinyl. the a1 is provided by och, producer of the legendary whalesong, and consists of icy hi-hat ringlets and rippling dub techno chords, which merge into a slice of prime time excellence. next a2 mauvais présage is a deep techno track built around a dumpy kick drum that gets slowly embellished with skating and skirting percussion and distant groaning chords that sound like sad monsters. the b side opens with tcherneyans second original b1 vision, an eerie, vast and empty open space of chilly synths and echoing voices. finally, volt.mar on b2 then reworks mauvais présage into something that lurks with menace in some desolate industrial park where intriguing synth lines weave their own path and white noise blasts occasionally jolt you from your trance. much like the previous release, minimmood have struck stripped back, deep and dubby techno gold with this latest ep. vinyl only / no repress!

the first release of parallel pain comes in three cuts, two originals and marcos in dub vs rooteo remix. hag-ridden offers both minimal and techno equally. a cut with great quality sound, exudes class and style, reminds us the good techno from the nineties. the marcos in dub vs rooteo remix, has a personal and sincere approach, with a more dubby and playful sound. in dark matter we found a fabulous track, a powerful synth defines the width of cut. dark matter contains sound passages that invite to close your eyes and explore by yourself what the game is all about. parallel has landed and is here to stay.

vinyl only! first 200 with a4 (30*20cm) artprint from the streets of detroit made by the artist himself. vinyl runs from the inner side to the outer side like the old nsc cuts from back in the days. pure detroit house and techno.

emotional especial is the new label from the emotional recordings stable. a sub label to emotional response, especial is though squarely aimed at the floor rather than the head. in a similar vain to the limited 4 eps-only label that was emotional relish, it will merge the sounds and styles that influence contemporary electronic producers, taking in new wave, new beat, ebm and proto-house to create something modern. jamie paton of cage & aviary helms the debut release with bizarre feeling. a youth soaking up punk, dub and new wave, the ep acts at times as a homage to the sounds of new order, the the, kraftwerk and the then other-wordly machine funk emanating out of mid-80s chicago. with both timothy j fairplay and scott fraser aiding and abetting down in the scrutton street bunker studio, with keys, guitar and a heavy dose of space echo, plus hypnotic fx laden vocals from jamie himself, all propel the ep beyond pastische and make the perfect start to especial.

young turks are set to release another great ep in 2013, joining fka twigs, sampha and koreless is spanish producer pional.
some may know pional as the john talabot collaborator responsible for stand tracks *destiny* and *so will be now* from his critically acclaimed *fin* album - an album frequently ranked as one of the best electronic records of 2012. his invisible/amenaza ep brings the groove and audio-perfectionism of these collaborations but adds an unsettling sense of paranoia which brings the music depth and tension - *invisible amenaza* translates as invisible threat. pionals influences arent really worn on his sleeve, but the forward thinking producer adds his influences of the zombies, roy ayres, and the police into a sound that manages to work on the dancefloor as well as the headphones.

we are very happy to announce the debut release on mule of brightest hope in german deep house scene johannes brecht

this is the first release of mexican/canadian label departures records done by up-and-coming artist mike khayata. the ep features 2 original tracks and 2 remixes, shivers is a deep, slow but very dynamic track that reflects the artists thoughts on the immediacy of things these days. its chord progression drives the track and captures your attention from the moment it starts and makes for a very introspective listening experience not necessarily designed for the dance floors

der hintergrund für das release geht auf ein kunstwerk von jens standke zurück der in köln damit in diesem jahr seine abschlussarbeit an der khm bestritt. es geht um die fertigung von >vinylaktiten< (vinyl tropfsteine). aus ca. 140 schallplatten erstand jeweils eine skulptur bei der wellenformen auf das vinyl per fräsung in separate formen übertragen wurden und ihre tonrillen optisch abgetastet wurden. der optischen tonabnehmer nahm über 800 sounds ab. salz hat sich aus der fülle an klängen bedienen dürfen und hat mit sehr viel aufwand sounds destilliert und bearbeitet und so in eine form überführt wie sie im kontext von dub techn. sinn macht. sie haben somit aus den fragmenten wieder ein ganzes gefertigt, man könnte von musikalischen recycling sprechen, gäbe es diese kunstform. das kunstprojekt von jens standke hat salz enorm inspiriert und so dürfen wir uns auf ein einzigartiges ergebnis freuen welches den verlauf vom musikalischem rhythmus bis zum rauschen beherbergt. das stück trägt den namen, >technofaktur dub< auf der rückseite veröffentlichen wir zum ersten mal auf vinyl einen dub remix den salz für minilogue aufgenommen haben.

toby tobias coming through with the fresh raw s**t for delusions! two original tracks here absolutely loaded full of old school analogue machine funk and crazy dub tricknology.

excellent phunkin chicago house monster

the relentless work ethic of dj w!ld shows no sign of slowing down with another amazing ep, this time through his own imprint the w label, that unleashes four new tracks plus a dubbed out remix. in contrast to his recent output on other labels the four tracks sit firmly in the dj tools category with stripped back arrangements, raw-to-the-bone underground house grooves and drums showcasing all that is good about the parisians highly in-demand dj sets. head-nodding tribal infused percussion is the main theme with tracks blind and miami bitch setting the scene with a brass breakdown in the latter that is sure to send shivers down spines. narco switches things up with its core element focused around a shoulder shaking bass organ straight out of the 90s. on board gets and original and re-worked dub outing with hypnotic congas and a vocal that loops inside the mind.

new label back to the balearics follow up the superb maricopa ep with a stunner from berlin based live music collective spleen. part one in their musical odyssey *fusionary* consists of live jams and instrumentation over computer-based syncopation, their music has a strange yet organic flow to it, which is both hypnotic and rhythmic. think kraut influenced, psychedelic dub funk with a touch of alt pop and you will be on the right road, but still miles away. music is better than words ... spleen prove that. limited edition vinyl with beautiful printed sleeves.

egyptrixx gives a glimpse into his forthcoming second album on night slugs with the vinyl-only cut *water (reduced)*. the hi-definition crystalline world of his previous album *bible eyes* has sunken, submerged. *water* takes place in some vast molten expanse, a subterranean electrical storm expressed as acid-tech. this 12 inch features the reduced dub, stripped of melody to for full hypnotic effect. the full version can be heard on the forthcoming album, titled *a/b til infinity*. on the flip: helix keeps bootlegging our records. he cuts up the masters and edits them up like fruity loops lego, applying the same post-timbaland stutter-logic that was amplified so dramatically in 03-06 grime. here he puts his hand to egyptrixx blastbeats-heavy *adult*, also taken from the forthcoming *a/b til infinity* lp. the results are extremely punishing but compelling listening.

played by : ranacat, sames (godzilla kebab), sccucci manucci, citizen, ashworth, silk 86...
review: no 6 in the waze & odsyssey street tracks series sees the ubiquitous citizen team up with the unheralded ashworth for some upfront house business. along with the shona carmen vocalised title track there is a ldn warehouse dub and b side burner >state<

neue maxi von radio diffusion aus wien! hans staudinger und sebastian badics, die beiden macher des duos, haben zwar ihre wurzeln in der downtempo-szene des wiens der 90er-jahre, die musik von radio diffusion ist aber eine sehr zeitgemäße melange aus einem gewitzten drum-programming, heftig schweren basslines und elementen aus house und techno. die remixe kommen von roman rauch, motsa und nico pusch.
