to ready fans for his debut long-player cells set for release 12th november, fake blood drops the yes/no ep - an apocalyptic and cinematic techno opus.

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth aren’t in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben valløe in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and valløe and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

after a short summer break spent sunbathing in morecambe, development music return with a rather sun-drenched e.p just in time to catch the end of summer. the ep features a wealth of european electronic music talent, all connected by the innovative production and song-writing skills of dorsets mxm.

for our 40th release we are very pleased to welcome on deeply rooted house argentinas own jonas kopp (ostgut ton, curle, krill music, ear to ground, traut). this 4 tracks ep gives a good example of his diverse and still very defined techno recording skills. a side goes from the very straight forward and somehow mental reforce to the deep and abstract journey of proteus 81, while b side kicks of with the somehow balearic and positive green fingers to end up with the quest of light!

unique zombie style ... we are beyond excited to present the latest release from one of our favorite artists, zzt co-chairman zombie nation. these four amazing tracks offer a taste of his forthcoming full-length for turbo (due at the end of the year)!

the new ep by pusherman, donuts, is out now on 12 inch vinyl, featuring remixes from naive machine & diamond bass!
while >donuts< is identifiably born of grime, uk funky, techno and house, pusherman’s use of funky synthlines, deep low end and chopped up vocal samples set them a cut above their peers.

ok so heres the last installment in the creme jak series. we feel there s not much to add to this concept and over the past few years this kinda musick has found the foothold it lacked when we started this lil enterprise in the heydayz of beige vanilla minimal. in any case it seems fitting to go full circle and draw the curtains with an epic disco anthem that might not be jak perse, but at least coulda woulda shoulda been caned back in the dizzies in all the places that mattered ese! you see, house is a feeling and blablabla.. so here s a final one up your purist backsides as this mystery strap-on crew cuts and tape edits its way through a molten bucket of swiss cheese and ends up with a dead hooker in the trunk in the process. limited 250 copies sticker ish. no repress, no digital, this is the end..

a label that prides itself on picking up new talent and letting them shine, electronique digital has made quite a name for itself in a short space of time. the manchester-based label has already been home to one of the years big anthems with finnebassens huge >if you only knew<. but it is not just about anthems and big tunes, there is also a focus on the deeper end of house music whilst retaining labels commitment to disco and summer vibes in every release. in other words, though they specialise in deep house, but it is never too serious or morose.

at the end of 2006, erol alkan was at a crossroads. he’d been voted dj of the year by mixmag. he’dmade landmark, expectation-defying remixes for bands he loved: a crunching “glam racket” reworking of ‘do you want to’ for franz ferdinand, a wonderfully wistful reinterpretation of hop chip’s ‘boy from school’, a psychedelic take on scissor sisters’ ‘i don’t feel like dancing’ and a genre-defining reworking of justice’s ‘waters of nazereth’.

society of silence is proud to present their very first lp! society of silence combines the forces of two great parisian artists and friends, benoît legrain or bny, and nicolas villebrun ? known as tite and for his production assistance with the electronic pop-rock group, poni hoax. signifying monkey plays around with its words just as much as its structure, while beat reading detroit takes us through a nostalgic journey into the collective subconscious of techno. the confluence of dark and euphoric energies conveyed here by s.o.s. capture the dangerous and thrill-seeking memories going to old-school raves and after-hours parties. deep and raw beginning to end..

dead capo is a quartet that fluctuates between the classic sounds of jazz, the attitude of rock and the trepidation of surf. all of this seasoned with the cinema sounds of rota or morricone.
it has been 10 years since their debut lp, díscolo (pueblo records, 2002), made waves with the national critics. their new album is once again surprising and the band sounds as fresh as when they started their journey at the end of the 90s. sale (lovemonk, 2012) combines an extraordinary energy with passages of meticulous precision and goes from wild to calm in a way that is both unexpected yet natural. thelonius monk, cartoons, cinematic landscapes, rocks past, africa, surf and the ballad come together in an album as great as it is as unpredictable.

adriatique is back with their second release on diynamic. again the two talented producers from switzerland created a really impressive ep that seems to fit just perfect for the upcoming summer! the opening track,deeper love, really sets the direction of the whole ep and will make you fall in love with it! a really nice and warm synthesizer combined with that catchy deeper love vocal and a funky picked guitar makes this tune unique. the second track by your side first of all persuades with that coltish sequenzer baseline. after the first break the tune unfolds its whole power. its again the nice combination of a deep, down pitched vocal, funky bended chords and a great synthie line that works just excellent together. a great one for the dancefloor! with motions, the third and title track of the new ep, adriatique deliver another harmonic tune that goes under the skin. its the slowest track on the ep. massive bass tones, groovy shuffled hihats and a deep, repetetive vocal loop result in a wonderful, warm track. the fourth and last track body moving brings the ep to an good end. with a nice vocoder voice the tune gets a touch of the 80s sound. and again a bouncy baseline delivers this special groove and guarantees to shake the floor.

new clone basement series (lucky number 013!) with the long awaited return of a made up sound (aka 2562), following up on his archive ep/cbs02. written as a counterbalance to the more experimental releases on his own amus label series, archive ii finally unleashes whats possibly his most banging, straight-forward club material to date, while retaining the trademark a made up sound funk and swing.hang-up is all about the irresistible herbie-injected groove, cut-up and layered to great effect, whereas things get darker and bass-heavier with technotrack sweetback on the flip. keeping the tension high till a drop towards the end, seven minutes never seemed so short. a great first number 013 release and we cant wait to hear some of our favourite djs play the tracks out loud. another proper banger on the clone basement series!

kool hertz started djing and rocking crowds over 14 years ago in south africa & the uk. the last few years he has turned his hand to production in a big way. after a string of release, across various labels in the scene, we finally welcome his first ghetto funk ep.
loads of attitude, big bottom end and his signature pounding beats. this ep has a true heavy weight feel, it sits and the ghetto end of the spectrum.

greetings and thank you all for your support of our last release the mystic re-issue by norm talley. today i would like to introduce the first release from our second offshoot label tmr essentials! this label will focus on our new deeper releases. out the gate we would like to present: euphonic moods ep by brett dancer. the first release from our head honcho since 2006, and nothing but deepness on this slice of vinyl. v2 forces the boundaries of tech and house as it builds to climax, atmospheric bliss with this! space is simply rhythmatic integration, beats and chords, driving bass, get ready to move. the lost is very reminiscing of the early 90s groove with a millennium twist, bouncing bass melodic chords, call and response vocals, end result classic!

when it comes to and strikes you, it works. this is the only thing that rules only300 familys sound, an edm label born in milan in the end of 2011. tech house with no strings attached is the reference point to start from and experiment with, together with the diverse influences of a genre in progress. our musical research - coming from only300 (milan) staff vision - goes beyond ideological bounds between means of production: no matter if its digital or analogue, the point is the emotion behind the sound, even if it comes to your legs, heart or brain. o300f sees flying high records - not just dance floor/club/listening oriented - and it thinks that labels are just gilded cages.

after ushering in a raft of releases from top talent over the last year that turned quite a few heads, we over here at thema thought it was time to assert our own opinions a bit more forcefully. we certainly appreciate all the support we garnered from the detroit drops courtesy of norm and terrence, and sliding over to the smallville end of the spectrum with rau and suburb certainly didnt lose the thread either. sometimes its easy to build a vibe on the backs of others rather than on simple merit though… with that in mind we have taken our own path since then, and the recent successes from beaner and laurine frost stand alone as the accolades keep rolling in. continuing on our outbound trajectory, we present the solo vinyl debut of gathaspar, the mysterious polish producer who has been making noise mostly in berlin and to the east.

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

>rispah<, the sophomore album by the invisible and their first for ninja tune, is >a love letter to grief< following the passing of singer dave okumus mother, is imbued with an inevitable melancholy but defined by a sense of hope. throughout, the band reveal their rich creativity and musicianship. echoes run through these songs of african music (including beautifully-woven-in samples of the singers from okumus mothers funeral), psalm tones and devotional music, in a silent way-era miles davis, hints of minimal classical composers such as steve reich and the wilder more psychedelic end of hip hop and related electronic musics.
nothing is ever included for the sake of it, no attempt is made to patronise or sell the audience short. it is a record brimming with real emotion and restless intelligence, a record to get lost in.
double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold cover, including insert and code for free mp3 download.

following last years acclaimed curse of soft rocks album, were invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. each track is wildly re-contextualized leaving us with a beautifully obtuse yet complimentary rendering. personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of soft rocks, and furthermore the esp institute. at the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen. on this 12inch (the second of 3 surrounding the revenge of soft rocks remix album) esp mainstays cos/mes deliver a deep and sensual yet sinister take on little lights, and side b reveals an upbeat dubbed out version of wicker man by zurichs own lexx (running back, permanent vacation, leng) good lord this is quite a piece of wax!

nina simone was one of the best blues singers of the 20th century. only someone the likes of billie holiday and bessie smith had the power to lay a soul bare like she could, as her stripped-down be my husband shows. naked like a field-holler, this song would later capture the imagination of jeff buckley and antony hegarty. nina simone never, ever disappoints.
