title track niribu opens the release here, a low-slung, tripped-out house number employing insistent drum programming and dark, atmospheric synthesizers as its driving force. the trio continue down their path of tasteful, intelligently crafted productions, instilling subtle production nuances through filters, delays and reverbs in to the cut while a tight blend of gritty electronic and warm organic sounds creates a heady peak-time cut.

all good things must come to an end. synth sense close proceedings on the symbol series in fine style. four sublime cuts that evade genre classification but firmly push the boundaries of electronic music.

the legendary 1969 beatles album - remastered from the original stereo analogue master tapes, pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl.

music is dead is the new solo project by french producer olaf hund. juggling absurdity, cynicism and intimacy, hund wakes the dead, singing a post-punk score for guitar and electronic instruments bringing a new breath to electro-pop music. with the memories of a boy from the old school who saw the end of the golden age, olaf hund defines himself as a post-electronic artist.

finally out of little britain, ahum, sorry, out of little paxton, mr. rogers is currently thriving on his newly acquired medication of high-quality codeine, all thanks to the benign blessings of the pharmaceutical industry: his house is definitely jackin it deeper and browner than ever before, almost sounding like a ron hardy shooting up at the end of a hard days night back in the days of the warehouse.

miles has been releasing material on modern love for a decade, first as one half of pendle coven, then on his own as mlz, and eventually pairing up with sean canty to record as demdike stare. in between he has also pursued more experimental terrain under the suum cuique moniker, produced jungle for the hate project and (together with andy stott) taken on the occasional release as millie & andrea for modern love sublabel daphne. he is also an admired, exhilarating dj, his sets have been known to span a broad spectrum of electronic music, from the obscure uk techno of labels like radioactive lamb and irdial, to classic chicago house, detroit techno and - most importantly - early 90s jungle and breakbeat, feeding into his love of the most uncompromising end of the italian experimental movement, musique concrète, synthwave and contemporary noise.

two thirds of the hypercolour label team, alex jones and ste roberts, present the first initials 12 inch of 2013 in the form of shard in the hole by blue & green. otherwise known as bareskin & j.wiltshire, blue & green have already developed respectable reputation for themselves. bareskin, aka 19 year old josh thompson from winchester, has set his stall out with non-standard house workouts for losing suki and hypercolour while j.wiltshire has an imminent ep for the prolific imprint.as with previous initials releases,shard in the hole has a techno leaning stance, albeit one with a far from purist outlook. the title track is a broken 4:4 track that builds towards a solitary pulsing bass note and skittering high end percussion and arpeggios. bring me down on the flip is a housier groove complete with an unnerving bassline and clipped vocal samples complimented with distorted washes and theremin-esque tones.

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.

left hand path is an ode to the other, the outside, the odd and uncanny, a window to the wilds of theoutdoors from the crushing claustrophobia of the rat race. musically, the new aspects album deftly treads the light beam divide of old and new - at times dusty-fingered and familiar, yet finding moments of un-quantized lo-fi sci-fi - not far from l.a.s low end theory sound buffet.

the atmospheric deep house builder brothers & sisters comes in two different versions and is everything we could wish for, deep, punchy and masterfully produced house music, sounding right at home on local talk. the pm atlantic version will do the work for the early sets and am pacific is the perfect end of the nighter. finishing off is legacy, a track where groove and dedication is the keywords, a guaranteed weapon in any djs bag in the coming months. all in all, three tracks of the kind of nuanced deep house weve come to expect from the brilliant fred everything

this release shows the diveristy of alixs amazing production skills and the end result is a spectacular four tracker that effortlessly glides us from the beautiful deep and warm vibes of no loss to the jittery vocal skills of treat me, via the analog gem bdrk and josh wink favourite champion sound. debuts dont get much better.

another storming, ranging ep from the new yorkers: heavy-duty machine funk for the dancefloor, charged and swinging with old-school chicago vibes. the a-side house bobs from tearaway to discofied to rawly jaunty, the techno on the flip from dug-in and twisted to a more wide-open excursiveness. to start, the soulful rug-cutter down runs a sublimated tribalism beneath lovely, dubwise kick drums and sultry female vocal, heavy skies is lo-fi funk, a stand-out, the bass and brilliant percussion-work of the title track crosses us garage with new uk styles (a little joy o to its bottom end). discreet time meshes vintage chicago drum programming with the filtered house of someone like i:cube, and to close, plateau, a widescreen, experimental bubblers, with reaching fxd synths and shuffling snares and hi-hats... perhaps their best yet.

adam jay’s “mediastinum ep” is the product of a near death experience turned into an opportunity to create. after experiencing acute trauma to the left lung, the artist was diagnosed with pneumomediastinum, the sounds featured in the production of this record were recorded in the intensive care unit at community east hospital in indianapolis. “inward” is a raw, stripped down stomper filled with anxiety and a pace of purpose. the a2 track, “terrible precision” brings an atmosphere of tension and darkness that drives the ep forward. the synth groove of “chatter” sits atop the recordings of medical monitoring equipment intended to alarm the listener. the unsettling dischord created is contrasted by a powerful low end groove. “concert of the machines” comes with an addictive half time broken beat groove. the warm, effected electric piano work plays off more alert sounds from the hospital room creating a chilled out vibe that is ideal for closing a set. already support from justin berkovi, nigel richards, gayle san, tony rohr, andrei morant, and brian kage.

the 2013 album from depeche mode on black double vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

originally released in 2004 on the heels of the massively successful singles losing my edge and give it up, lcd soundsystems *yeah* is a choice dance-rocker with everything one expects from the dfa hit factory infectious baselines, killer disco beats and percussion, disaffected vocals and burning keyboards. back in print on vinyl, its an instant party with a climactic end.

2012 was without doubt the breakthrough year for south london ordnance. in the space of twelve months the 23 year old artist put out three separate 12 inches alongside a five track ep, which garnered support from jamie xx, scuba, benji b, mary ann hobbes, mosca, claude vonstroke, richie hawtin and more. his jungle-advised, finely honed productions also rightly earned him notable mention in several annual end of year roundups including dj mags best of british 2012, xlr8rs 4th best new act of 2012 (alongside disclosure and karenn), and time out uks djs to watch in 2013. with this debut outing on hotflush recordings scheduled for march, 2013 is set to be yet another strong year for the young producer.

off the back of his second club-shaking ep for cvss dirtybird imprint, paris ghetto mastermind producer is back for his 3rd outing on his own label clekclekboom. after dropping their inaugural release, the stellar *champagne / hugz (ft. bambounou)*, at the end of 2011 it seems fitting that french fries return to kick-off 2013 with the labels 9th release. the use of bold, futuristic effects and percussive subtleties combined with an astute aptitude for clarity and fullness of sound makes for yet another destructive french fries and clekclekboom ep. this shrewd blend of experimentalism and dancefloor bass-weight means ccb009 is likely to turn up in a wide range of record bags.

ad maiora records is proud to welcome on board, for the first vinyl of its catalogue, the experience and talent of established chilean producer aldo cadiz. his productions skills appeared on many labels worldwide including top imprints like desolat, viva, kling klong and more. *tan talan* is a track that makes you dance from start to the end, thanks to a powerful groove with an hypnotic looped vocal layered on top of it!

first in is a beat heavy analogue chug rework of the rare and weird italo 7 inch *i am your master* by the mysterious italo connoisseur savino dj and dj peet need based in holland. the arpeggiating bass line digs a circular trench that gets deeper as the track marches on until you end up stuck on an island with a strange creepy midget man. music that blurs the line between disco dreams and nightmares starion is back for more on ep2. how will he make a heavier track than ep1s *another dimension*? by making *darkstar*. analogue manctalo chug at its finest. big bass line, big synth chords, big vocoder action. you couldnt get more dark disco electronic if you went clubbing with daleks and the cybermen were djing.

a surprising house release, muredo, an ep with a generous acoustics in which the rythm is frontal but the story is told just behind. the raf are two habitual offenders of the well done track. when the muredo track slowly wakes you up and meticulously tries hard to describe the morning gestures, murefa carry on with a breathless ride. the second inspiration is only taken when everything had come to an end, in a calmness orchestrated by val at the helm of an abstract groovy remix. this ep is the first signature on the recent french label seconde and a lot of things are supposed to come soon.

the opener is a traditional jola rhythm, typically fast and energetic, with tuned, talking and kit drums swarming over a kind of skeletal downhome guitar, somewhere between blues and disco. the mboup brothers make a soaring, impassioned plea for an end to division and bloodshed in their casamance homeland. then a more deeply dug-in, spaced-out funk, edgily spun from a serer rhythm, underpinning mbenes reflective song about parental sacrifice. sama yaye, my mother. both with full instrumental versions.

after a storming end to 2012 with the slow it down & elijah collins release in november swiftly followed by elias tzikas in december, retrospective is back with a monster of a release. we are proud to kick off 2013 with none other than italys finest, ajello! eclecticism is definately the keyword word of the ajello project comprising of luca (dj rocca) roccatagliati and fabrizio taver tavernelli. the ajello sound features a number of influences all of which can be heard in the tracks on this, their first e.p. on retrospective, electro, new-wave, italo-disco, disco, neurofunk, eurodance, space sounds, early house.

label boss, dj spider links up with analog guru, phil moffa! these two analog junkies have put together a crushing 4 track split effort. the first 3 tracks are strictly for the dance floor and the last one is a deep, mental piece! they each delivered one track each and two tracks were done together. warm analog drums with pure synth soundscapes are on display here from beginning to end. a must have for all true, underground soldiers who support new york techno!

the new vinyl release by stefan gubatz features unreleased new dance floor versions of his tracks >byte and scratch< and >offshore< (which had originally appeared as electronic versions on cd) which appear now exclusively for the first time on the telrae vinyl 10 inch series as reworks. >byte and scratch rework< generates a subtle form of urgency which slowly step by step takes possession of yours and does not loose its grip till the very end. stefan has reworked the original for the club, has kept many details in the process of the sound shaping while on the other hand has changed the arrangement and dominance of key sounds very skillfully. he has transferred a piece of electronica into an intense piece of dub techno. >offshore rework< is the counterpart of >byte and scratch rework< being much more ease and repetitive... more in the fashion of some of stefans 10 releases on telrae before

the new year starts for raum with the second single by two of our key artists teaming up again, namely christian burkhardt and sascha dive. the a side is produced by sascha alone and is definately standing out from his more house related productions of the last months. halfway is a true peak time monster that already got deck sharks nervous throughout the end of last summer in a few sets of djs like ricardo villalobos or raresh for example just to name the most important ones.

easily recognizable by his impassioned johnny cash-meets-charlie feathers vocals, the french-born don cavalli began to get any notice in the greater music and blog community when he released his full-length *cryland* (2007), which featured his amalgamation of swamp blues, lo-fi pop, country gospel, and early rock & roll. in 2013, don cavalli will release his new studio album *temperamental*, staying on blues track while dismantling the traditional codes of the field. indeed, thanks to an old fashioned sound take and a contemporary production, don cavalli makes his new album sound old but incredibly modern. and if *temperamental* goes through many kinds of sounds, in the end it always goes straight to the point: a unique cajun blues from the bayou serving a soul and sophisticated voice. a must-have!

there has been much speculation about the significance of the mayan system of timekeeping. many researchers on the subject have verified that the mayan long count calendar, which is only one of several advanced timekeeping tools devised by the mayan people, comes to an end on december 21, 2012, with no real clear explanation as to what exactly that signifies. this musical offering is not meant to speculate on the meaning of this date. instead, it serves as a tribute to one of the most astronomically, mathematically and architecturally advanced civilizations in the history of planet earth. each track is a tribute to one of the many mayan spiritual sites known to date.

mit chaim, kiki, skinnerbox und we love liest sich die liste der auf vinyl only edits vertretenen künstler wie ein who is who der bpitch tech-house allstars. und damit nicht genug – die vier künstler liefern neue bearbeitungen ihrer favorites der letzten singles: chaim lässt seinen tech-house knaller ur around me noch eine spur spookiger klingen. skinnerbox meisterwerk god is fading klingt ebenso energiegeladen wie tricky, und we love s elegische tech-house songperle end of night schiebt hier mit gestripptem arrangement noch zwingender nach vorne. when lou met vernon, das neue werk von kiki, verrät schon nach den ersten takten zweifelsfrei seinen all-time-lieblingstrack, dessen originaltitel ohne weiteres als motto dieser großartigen 12 stehen kann: groove is in the heart!

upon the first listen, the work of fernando unfolds directly on your brain and leaves a long lasting feeling of drama. fernando pulichino is one those lucky guys who can pick up any instrument and write songs without breaking a sweat. he first caught my attention with a remake of the bauhaus classic kick in the eye released on redux in 2008. he then backed up this great start with releases and remixes for labels like international feel, under the shade, internasjonal and nang. he also very busy touring as part of the 2020 soundsystem band and he is also in silver city with julian sanza.
we decided to put together a long player to highlight the talents of our man in buenos aires. the construction of *float* reveals an astonishing wealth of musical ideas, brazen touches of new wave and icy modern disco sounds are evident throughout. low slung basses are also a theme that runs right through *float* whether it is the opening song *a place* which has a monster electronic bottom end or *from out there* which sits firmly on the punk funk dinner table, bass lines are clearly important to fernando.

the end is near, the apocalypse is knocking on your door. time to freak out for a very last time. leveltrauma bringsyou the perfect soundtrack for the end of the world. on side a escalate with minupren and stormtrooper, who bringyou the bass, that rocks your panties. on the b-side your very own..

rummage in some boxes of my favourite record store i found a cover that made me curious. l kubic & tagträumer² - the only thing in this world and on the flipside a remix by alle farben. when placing the needle at the beginning of the vinyl the first sounds were very strange. i thought that must be a record from the 60s lost in the tech-house box but than a straight beat turned everything different. a piano melody slowly sat down firmly in my ear and i was longing to know where the journey takes me. after a while an acidline pushed everything and i was sure at this time this is not a normal 4/4 tech-house record. alle farben remixed the themes very playful and i heard that he gives the elements more pressure for the club. so at the end i bought this one and i cannot imagine taking this unique record ever again out of my record case.

zum 20-jährigen jubiläum des kultlabels aus chicago erscheinen nun diverse klassiker und raritäten als limitierte nachpressung auf vinyl!

the release opens with quite baked, a stripped, low-slung cut that embraces loose, swung drums and rolling low-end rumbles. the record adapts to a simplistic hooky structure that allows subtle transitional periods to keep things captivating, infusing a blend of gritty elements that gleam with analogue sparkles and warmth, resulting in a tasteful slice of rough and ready house music. next up is as olways, taking things in a deeper direction with smooth rhodes chords driving the melodic movement.

techon starts 2013 with a various artists release that showcases the harder side of techno of its great producers. bringing the beats: horacio cruz & c-system / alvaro sanchez & morfogen. great dj tool for the techno squad that like the spanish vibe.

autumn days are coming quite near and with >jahreszwei< – an ambient tape by berlin based artist the marx trukker – we deliver the soundtrack for that more thoughtful time of the year. as the 4-track ep is put together chronological (starting with the track that was produced last), the a-side is more dark and dusty (roughly produced beginning of autumn with an electric bass, an old portastudio and loads of forbidden recording-techniques) while the b-side shines a bit brighter and lighter (produced digital end of summer, concentrating on the dave smith evolver synthesizer only). so take a walk through a forest next to you and enjoy the beautiful autumn-nature while having >jahreszwei< on your ears!
