one would be curious as to what a track such as this one would sound like. images and visuals floating through your head as you press play, the airy, angelic pad intro induces you into a trance-like state before soothing piano lines and a pitched-up vocal reminiscent of the early hardcore era takes you away. as the drums come in with a half-time feel, it is easy to imagine japanese taiko drummers playing their part. once the break takes hold, a short span of melodic heaven uplifts before the drums take control again.

a somewhat mysterious collaboration between three people from varying parts of the world is finally pieced together after being lost and found over the last two years. the final result being two stripped down and uncompromising tracks that go from chicago to detroit and beyond. also included is legowelts remix of comeback dust which takes the original and adds his signature chicago smudge sound to the mix.

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

so, who or what is trajical bitch aka manager_111 akaka elec pt.1 akakaka trajical bitch akakakaka the minister? and why is this guy making dirty rough banging chi-house/d-techno hybrid-tracks in his own special way? born an raised in duesseldorf, andreas gehm, the mysterious man behind that all - moved to cologne a few years later. this proper guy stands not more or less for an uncompromising underground techno and house conspiracy, whether you label it bleepy dry minimal, glitchy acid-phonk or shimmering futura3000-cosmic-disco that definitely makes your ass move. the d stands for duesseldorf and the c for cologne, but of course these initials likewise pertain to detroit techno and chicago acid house.

joel alter blew us away some months ago with his soul clap release on sweatshop! a much under-rated record which makes things go wild everytime its being dropped. now he is back strong with more straight pumping chicago-inspired tracks that continues alter s forays into the rougher, tougher side of house music. simple and effective tracks that reminds us of early raw house projects of jeff mills with basic elements and phat drum machines. joel alter going back to the basics and pushing the right buttons!

subtrakt once again brings a release like no other, matching up two production outfits machinecode & broken note for a single that delivers exactly what you would expect from these masters of sound design.

hot steppin remix package from some of the capitals finest. limited pressing with hand-sprayed custom jackets. a perfect little package of remixes from londons flint kids. after their great 1st release they set their radar a little further afield to net the talents of the brilliant point b and scanone for remix duties. the results are, as youd expect, precise and bass heavy. check the clips here - a good all rounder for fans of combat for sure. the 12inch is finished off nicely with adurgy dark-stepper from the flint kids themselves fitting in perfectly with the rest of the cuts on display here

with her new album, dust, ellen removes the sense of remoteness entirely. a warm immediacy takes centre stage in place of distanced artistic abstraction. as such, what is perhaps ellens most personal album takes the form of a complete spectrum of her creative output to date, a cross-section in time which also looks ahead to previously untrodden paths... the world according to ellen!

the chaps at off-key hq have been busy digging out the old dat tapes from their attic and sorting out the wheat from the chaff. for this release they go way back to bring you four more tracks courtesy of kimble, a collaboration between matt o brien and matt gates (aka minor planets). kicking things off is the beatless sketch of >lycius<, spiky alien synths flicker and pierce through detached ethereal pads moving in the surrounding weightless space. next up is the ep s lynchpin track, >state of shock<. proper techno is the order of the day here, this is an authentic old school minimal track first recorded in 1996 but left gathering dust ever since. immerse yourself in the subtle dub inflected melodies swirling in your womb bubble while the slamming rhythm track provides the heartbeat. over on the flip we chill things out with the haunting strings and aquatic bassline of >amb<, providing a delicate counterpoint to the upfront style of the a side. the ep is completed with a stunning remix of >state of shock< by minor planets, who layer on a towering bassline and transform the original into a laid back dub workout.

off-key limited is a new subsidiary label of off-key industries whose aim is to give exposure to new artists alongside established producers and to bring a wider range of genres with less of a focus on the dancefloor. each release will be strictly limited and will not be repressed. we start by raiding the off-key vaults to unleash a series of releases entitled >the dust off<, featuring material written in the off-key studio over the years by matt o brien and various collaborators and associates. matt kicks off the ep with >a new page turns<, a bangin dubby detroit techhouse cut driven by a low slung rhythm and analog stabs dripping in reverb, overlayed with a melodica riff which calls to mind the smokey refrains of augustus pablo. next up is >untitled< by newcomer mat gates, a beatless slice of electronica whose understated melodies conjure up thoughts of late summer evenings of times gone by. on the flip, o brien and gates combine under the artist name kimble to bring you >epiphany<, led by a shimmering melody underpinned with haunting strings which combine to form an electro track of rare beauty. this diverse ep is completed with mat gates second contribution, >in a hole<, a drum n bass track with a disjointed, skeletal rhythm, sub bass drops and fragile, melancholy melody.

italian minimal electro. mauro alpha, ndkj & andrea paganin offers a brilliant minimal electro bomb with an irresistible italian touch

big with: the black dog, rob da bank, keith downey, tomaz, mary anne hobbs, shelley parke and mark eg!! dncns debut ep for dust science shows just how far hes come in the last five years. its a resoundingly strong package with every track a potential a-side. main cut >dust to dust< is a throbbing dubby techno stomper, opening with sulphuric bong noises that give way to oodles of fat wobble. the track is slowly subsumed in layers of fizzing shards of echo. anyone taken with villalobos recent experiments really must check this out

new signing on players paradise from hamburg city, two producers who are up and coming in the scene and ready to take over with this mental banger. first one is tensnake who runs his own label mirau musik out of his hometown and got a lot of attention recently by remixing >junior boys<. his partner is suite 9 aka d.i.m. who made some great records on tigas turbo label and had a big hit with >airbus baby< and his cool remix for chromeos last single >fancy footwork<. on the remix job this time our favourite man out of cologne, steve barnes aka cosmic sandwich. he transforms the original into a spaced out 90s house track with his typical driving groove that he developed over the last years in his great releases on traum and my best friend.

"dust science returns with fresh blood for 2007 on the faith is fear ep. weve been fans of fabrice lig for years her at dust. hes released an avalanche of great techno on classic labels such as kms, 7th city, fcomm and playhouse and hes done us produ with his first release for us. "access denied" is a surging, swinging, darkside monster thats relentlessly tricky and funky. the detroit pads are seriously tripped out and swamped in glitchy beats and stepping hi-hats, and theres some serious low end; its a hell of a track. regis and female are responsible for some of the best uk techno ever made. here they contribute c/chaos; performed live at the orbit in leeds, its simply massive, propelled by downward twisting strings and utterly slamming, intoxicating electronic rhythms. techno luminaries the 65d mavericks are renowned for their driving but innovative techno. "wiretap" is well up to their high standards."

sie sind zurück und haben nach ihrem brillanten erstlingswerk nichts verlernt. breitbeinige rockattitude mit feingeistigem sampling. techno ist, wenn man trotzdem lacht
