musical support for the b-side comes from sandru on b1 and the fourth track on b2 is a collaboration with alexander siegel from the ordinary subject.

the new >5 seiten ep< by 60 hertz contains plays with the space in which it is meant to be played. corners. in a three-dimensional room. six two-dimensional surfaces. twelve edges, four sides the same length – parallel to each other. well, thats the theory. from outside one can only see edges, yet it is well curved inside. at first sight you wouldnt get it. you only see what you figure out. the question is - how deeply can you discover a space you dont understand? a fifth level, a fifth surface, a fifth side.

here we go with three new tracks by jens zimmermann on snork enterprises records. this release is mechanic and organic in one way, also kind of robotic and humanoid. roboter eins and roboter zwei are two zimmermann subbass movers for the clubs. thrust and power on each side of the vinyl release

appointment008 is an extract of the seminal rehearsals of the appointment live act recorded on ferromagnetic tape. each side lasts a dozen of minutes and endorses the appointment live act innovative potential. the appointment live act is not grounded on prearranged phrase or patterns: every performance is unique and unrepeatable. marieu samples vinyls ad-lib and adds noises and blips with a little korg monster, john swing controls the delays and writes relentless drums on a tr-909, lucretio arranges emergent structured on an analogue sequencer,emg plays out this structures from an insurgent vermona perfourmer and explores the sonic spectrum with a german grainy filter. distortion, saturation, improvisation, breaks, funk and techno: the appointment live act goes beyond minimalism to reach out the inner functions of the waveforms transmission.

without sacrificing the uniqueness of each individual artist, autem audio will continue to push quality music, and this release is no exception

turns out that cold meat lights no fire so attached to this music are ghosts of my life transcribing their emotions into techno. first half of this rocket is more on a negative tip, the second half is more positive, like we all should take it. either way you should listen to both sides cause they complement each other, so try to relax and enjoy the ride, or get off your ass and jam.

the green series is the continuing art and music project from bleep.com, giveupart, and photographer shaun bloodworth. this will be the third limited edition 12 inch in the series. each record comes with a die-cut sleeve, embossed outer and hand-stamped detail. the double a-side single features the pairing of redshape and steffi and once again brings you raw techno. the mysterious red-masked producer redshape provides a track titled focus whilst berlin techno royalty steffi delivers the aptly named attacke.

the second tape in the series, ferro #01 continues the path through the abyss of dubbed out techno sounds: ever forward with off-kilter resonations from the echo chamber and a pounding heart-beat throughout. like #00, this one is again a tape-only-release. each cassette is a unique piece of art – stamped, numbered and equipped with a link to the digital files. but ther is no way to get these files without grabbing a tape!

vinyl only! we have a new release lined up from the enough! music family. there are so many words that could best describe the debut ep from plusculaar, but we prefer to simply say that this release is simply exceptional, we are in love with this sound! two tracks stai jos and romance are both full of passion and soul, detailed arrangements full of magic and expression, there is nothing ordinary about these, they are simply wonderful! for the remixes we have contribution from dana ruh and eveline fink, each providing their own personal touch, a fusion of techno and dub, well structured and subtle. each little hit, melody and percussion groove fits perfectly and is well matched and balanced in these two mixes. once you listen, you will understand straight away and all night long!

betsy just stood there with her mouth wide open. those two guys where fencing each other up and down the stairway. they took 20 steps, back to back, then they turned around, smoothly from the hip, firing magazines at each other. then 10 steps and then 5, both where still standing. they beat each other to a pulp until the blood came out and then until no blood came out and still none of them hit the ground. betsy did not dare to move, even when the duelists finally went away in opposite directions she still stood there like a curtain rod. she cautiously moved her eyes to the left, cautiously meved her eyes to the right, everything seemed to be safe. then there was this flicker of light in betsys sunglasses. they came back.

a special double header 2 tracks each from nzs frank booker / ugly drums & chesney

jump kicks things off in style here, with its off-kilter drums creating a bumpy, energetic vibe, while bright chord progressions, hi-strings and looming, drawn-out bass tones create the melodic depths. sampled and manipulated vocal snippets are also introduced building their own melodic movement, while the envelopes of each element are subtly tweaked to falter and evolve throughout the records duration.

our second release of 2013 comes from lovers rights, the glasgow based-trio featuring members of golden teacher, silk cut & dam mantle. on this, their debut release for high sheen, they have laid down 4 killer house cuts spawned from improvisation heavy, free flowing electronic jams and completed with painstaking attention to detail. from the raw, rolling subs of urn to the complex multi textured synth patterns of mt. florida, each track has its own individual identity all the while working together within the cohesive whole of the ep. this is electronic dance music built with dancefloor freakouts in mind and we absolutely love it. the 12 inch comes packaged in a twice hand screen printed, roughcast sleeve, designed by sam bellacosa.

the mad aussies at haul music have changed things up a lot since the inception of their digital imprint nearly 5 years ago. in what might be described as a backwards move made by label-men who have simply lost their edge, they began releasing on vinyl only. first with a limited run of ornately illustrated portraits of the label owners, and now they are set to present a vinyl-only release from a cast of relative-unknowns.

jonas munks work as manual has never sought to radically reinvent itself. rather, he has spent the time since his debut ep in 2000 perfecting and refining the sound that is so distinctly his own - with each successive album meticulously exploring certain aspects of the manual sound. there is an ongoing insistence that there is originality and beauty in his finely crafted productions, even in times when they seem terribly out of tune with the current trends. in munks view originality isnt so much a constant renewal of oneself but rather the creation of a unique and confident style that is continuously relevant.

first of three volumes presented in a clear plastic sleeve, each one pressed on vinyl whose colour is taken from the italian flag.

slowly but surely spencer parkers work them label has been gaining a deserved reputation as a no nonsense house and techno imprint thanks to releases from the likes of pittsburgh track authority and dana ruh. now it is the turn of the s:vt who serves up one track, basement sweat, complete with a remix, which will then be followed by a separate 12 inch featuring two remixes from arttu. the original track pairs classic, piled-on-top-of-each other claps with a freewheeling melody that runs up and down the scale. the bottom end is streamlined and techno inclined, bringing with it plenty of raw warehouse vibes. the no strings attached mix loses the melody and ups the percussive ante, chopping up and slicing out patterns as that bottom end continues to burrow on.
