best known for his work on l.i.e.s and with steve summers as confused house, nik dawson aka bookworms drops an absolute banger on barcelona based label anomia. fans of the hazy textures of confused house here will be surely taken a back by the fact that the opening gambit on this ep, *mechanism* is utterly tonking. *photogenic* is another rushing weapon, while the closing track is a beautiful ambient piece. seriously killer ep, we can not recommend this enough!

20 years of downwards ... enough said! pressed on translucent, slightly smokey marbled vinyl and delivered in a 350gm printed sleeve.

basic fingers is back! after releasing some amazing music on kat, g.a.m.m., moton and lumberjacks it is time to welcome the reflex to basic fingers. *curious it is* is a super sweet disco track with enough sing-a-long potential and a nice breakdown with a twist to have you dancing in seconds. flip it over for a dubby version which doesnt skimp on the cowbells!

messalina records return with a fantastic ep of eclectic dancefloor bubblers from fellow we love space residents jamie fatneck low and lucci capri (aka dj callum). first up is the eagerly awaited vinyl release of fatnecks incredible acid rework of michael jacksons classic billie jean, highly in-demand since receiving heavy rotation from greg wilson (the only dj lucky enough to have a copy) who nicely sums the track up...i love the way fatneck has put a somewhat psychotic twist on billie jean via his acid interpretation - inspired west yorkshire wacko madness! next up lucci capri delivers the quirky balearic chugger dame un beso, with super-sweet latino lyrics and a great reggae-influenced swing. flip over for the beautifully understated because today i saw u which melds a cool deep house groove with esther phillips yearning vocals. rounding off the ep in style is fatnecks superb dancefloor-friendly edit of the aretha franklin version what a fool believes. great stuff - welcome back messalina!

jessy lanza s debut album *pull my hair back*, co-written and co-produced with jeremy greenspan from junior boys, is a 2013 flagship for what electronic pop could sound like, stripped of bloated, behaviourist impulses that treat listeners like lab rats. it is graceful and erotic without the gratuitous close ups, icey and sensual, sweet without rotting your teeth, emotional but with enough blue glow to pull your heart strings. jessys voice flutters through the synths seductively, insistent without the over-singing and grating choruses that plague so much contemporary pop. jessy lanza has a background as a singer and skilled piano scholar, and the duo share a mutual love of collecting the old hardware synths and drum machines that grace this collection of songs. transecting r&b, house, disco and 80s studio rock, the production is immaculate, reminiscent of early junior boys, treading that fine line between cold futurism and the r&b that jessy and jeremy are infatuated with.

triple p: pimprinella proudly presents! we are happy to show you our 2nd split release! this time we picked up sasch from steyoyoke recordings and our residents freiboitar with an amazing vocal track on b1. pimprinella008 is the first release without a remix, because we think that these 4 weapons are strong enough! do you think so too?

rogue vogue has been making a name for himself as a producer worth keeping an eye on with releases on french express and remixes on deep&disco & french horn rebellion. he is finally ready to release his next original ep titled say you will on his new home at house of disco records.

three previously unheard tunes elewhere... composed specially for acid night, after pzylos venue last year at the party... kaiken brings a big acidcore sound, loud and fat, 160 bpm. cyclic dica is the downtempo 134 bpm hard techno acid track. rare style and bloody effiicient & agressive, but still funky enough to groove you away! ... acid shock is more mental, 145 bpm hardcore beat (doom acid?). superb progression growing up to madness!

lil jabba isnt like the rest of them. while they are busy joining the dots between house and techno or whatever is safe right now, he is throwing paint all over the page. he is not american, but he is affiliated with chicagos teklife crew (dj spinn, dj rashad, etc.) and divides his time between baltimore and brooklyn, exhibiting his visual art, riding around with his bike gang and making some of the most hypnotic juke and footwork you will ever hear. local action have been figuring out a release with him for over a year - eventually an ep wasnt enough, and they persuaded him to make it a full-length album, scales. some of scales has already seen the light of day through youtube or limited cassette releases, some of it is unheard. some tracks sound cleaner than others, that is because they are newer. that is how these things work. what is consistent throughout scales is the quality: across 12 tracks, jabba flips, twists and inverts the footwork template with endless layers of samples, gurgled vocal tags, jazz licks and whatever else he feels like. these arent trax, they are tapestries.

after the joyful mess caused by brandy on adventurous dancefloors, qoso goes deeperwith three subwoofer-friendly tracks mixing house, techno, and just enough sonic dirt. hard on the boulevard has proved its efficiency already on some of the sweatiest parisian dancefloors. solidely grounded on a a slightly saturating bassline, it gets its driving force from a melodic sample fighting to get out of its cutoff filters and will sneaky easily as a peaktime weapon in every dj bag. it is as simple a that, really.

here lies the final chapter in the first testament of shocks, and as with the previous three releases, were granted no mercy. a-side tracks trajl and contagious are a full fledged assaults on the psyche, taunting with just enough melody to convince us of musicality, but never really rising from of the swamp theyre stewed in.the b side closer klamata could be seen as a comedown, but after a short while you realize that youve been led only deeper, left in a state of total disarray.

canadian producer/dj nathan jonson, aka hrdvsion, has been making increasing waves in the house world over the last few years with a stream of acclaimed releases for labels such as wagon repair and international deejay gigolo, and remixes for institutions like hypercolour and crosstown rebels.
his >i like the feeling you re giving me ep< for rinse encapsulates many aspects of his sound, drawing strongly both from detroit technos woozy, melody-soaked romanticism and the precision and intricacy of minimalist european house and techno. it is an intoxicating blend. its tracks are immediate and rhythmically compulsive enough to draw dancers deep into its groove, yet find jonson continually tweaking the musics depth of field to disorient the senses.

a psychedelic mixture of electronics and analog rawness infused with more than enough soul to keep it going on and on...what are the odds? asan!

with local talk release no. 30 we are moving further into territories of straight up no fuss dance floor action. already having releases on dirt crew recordings, murmur & hypercolour elef knows a thing or two about delivering jacking tracks. wake up call comes in two versions. the original version is a kick & snare pattern driven monster track with heavy arpeggios and deep pads. on the flip brennan green doesnt hold back either. the main melodic pattern together with percussions is unleashed straight on and as the tracks evolves he adds tr-303 lines making the track even more epic. as elef described the remix as perfect for a panorama bar set. the remix is worthy enough based on that one side alone.

limited edition of 275 numbered copies.
when gilles peterson reacts to a house record, you know it is a very special house record. deep and soulfull, love it - was what the 6 music dj thought of these two. if that wasnt enough, trickski described best things in life are free as one hell of a bomb. add in support from jimmy edgar, mark e, severino and dusky and this is looking like one of glasgow undergrounds most successful records to date. love games is the a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing. what starts off as hooky percussive groove slowly morphs into a full vocal classic with swirling chords and a killer synth hook. severino dropped it at fabric recently and took the roof off the place. best things in life are free is a darker affair – all wandering acid lines and moody, emotional strings - but as trickski proved when they played it at watergate, just as effective.

man of the moment alan fitzpatrick teams up with jon gurd to bring us one of his finest tune to date. quartz headquarter decided to call rotterdam hero rod aka benny rodriguez to remix the tune and the man gave us two essential versions of from here to there. if it wasnt enough paul ritch – the label boss - complete the package with his own interpretation of the track

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. its loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts. whiskey disco #18, cut me gently by beard in dust comes from behind the iron curtain. on a recent tour of russia, sleazy mcqueen had the fortune of meeting a friendly moscovite with an excellent selection of re-edits gathering dust on the hard drive. from the stab- centric *it shouldnt work, but it does* re-edit of grapevine to the cosmic groover, revolution in morder, the straight up boogie of highest mountain and the laidback ease of cant get enough-- more than most, this really does offer something for all (groovy) dancefloors.

mit fade veröffentlichen yo la tengo eines der homogensten alben ihrer geschichte. durch seinen warmen sound und die dichten kompositorischen texturen erinnert das 13. werk des us-trios vor allem an die bandklassiker i can hear the heart beating as one und and then nothing turned itself inside-out . hier wie dort dominieren fein gesponnene melodien, rhythmische schattenspiele und dezent orchestrierte noise-passagen das variationsreiche klangbild. vor allem aber geht von fade eine tiefgreifende, schwärmerische erhabenheit aus, die selbst für die band aus hoboken, new jersey, außergewöhnlich ist. aufgenommen wurde das album in chicago zusammen mit john mcentire (tortoise). durch dessen unterstützung entstanden geschliffene songs, die trotz ihres facettenreichtums ein im zusammenhang geschlossenes klangbild ergeben - vom bedachtsam tänzelnden well you better über das fiebernde stupid things und die warmen verzerrungen von paddle forward bis zum groovenden schlusssong before we run mit seinen wunderbaren streicher- und bläserarrangements.

albinos has now been meaning to open communication channels with the baka pigmy tribe for quite some time, sadly to mixed results… this indeed represents a rather difficult task considering their take on the devil is a tall white man graced with white hair and red eyes! even though the baka people is a peaceful one, the legend goes that if they were to catch that albino devil, they would gut its organs out and turn those into an aphrodisiac concoction. strangely enough, albinos believes that his music just might be the best language to turn those antagonistic feelings into a communion, he even dreams of performing his tunes to the whole tribe, deep within the jungle, surrounded with exotic birds and the most hungry kind of predators! somewhat at times on the verge of irony, his music definitively trades with sketchy, raw and deep emotions, always sincere in the making: always a few steps away from the pre-shaped house and techno idioms, he offers his very own take on dance music, a most peculiar one. solely using old cheap hardware and an antique atari, the tracks at hand are one-take live performances, brutal incarnations of albinos simple virgin vision. as the quest for the baka people goes on, the antinote team is proud to help shed light on the journey of this obscure producer hailing from the grand north.

as we are beset by the darkest of seasons, let sequencias provide a score to fit the mood. presented in two parts, *hybrid furrows* marks the second transmission of the mysterious healing force project from treviso, italy. the first part is a dense, introspective overture. a ceaseless minor key drone lays the path for deep thrumming gong-like pulse and shuddering percussive textures. a song without a coda, a dream without resolution, it simply dissipates like fog—never revealing it’s center. the second part is similarly monolithic in nature, but crafted more for movement than meditation. it is vicious arpeggiated psychedelia, sharp enough to cut into the deepest recesses of your psyche. both tracks were recorded live in one take. vinyl only.

made fresh daily follow up killer 12 inches from geddes and mikki funk with the debut solo ep from rising house producer jackmaster k. though indebted to the current vogue for the sounds of 90s house, jackmaster ks productions are filled with enough unexpected twists and turns to keep the formula fresh, *house aint givin up* switches things up with its nyc electro stabs, saxophone solo and swelling sub-bass, while *get up* takes things into deeper territory with its thick bassline and dubbed out, candy sweet rhodes melodies. on the remix, james johnston flips *get up* inside out, giving it some classic new jersey bump and flex, and busying up the arrangement with added organs, while rosenhafts take on *house aint givin up* is much more expansive, allowing the bassline to breathe in a spacious composition of pitched vocals and drawn out chords.

incl. rmxs by sierra sam, lula circus & daria !!

last year kyodai dropped breaking, which to date is the biggest selling release on local talk. now the brothers are back with in our opinion a future house anthem. the scene is a classic piano house cut that’s impossible to resist and together with one the coolest vocal samples we’ve ever heard we think this has the potential to go really big. when the breakdown drops we’re pretty sure everybody in the club will chant. but as if this was not enough we also got another big tune on the b-side. moving is the continuation of “breaking” and goes along the same lines with its crossover jazz styled house. once again kyodai delivers a supa solid house production with large jazz breakdowns and old school vocals that’s right up their with ”breaking”. this is also why we called it…breaking pt.2. kyodai is currently working on their debut album for local talk which is due later this year. they’re also travelling around the world with their amazing live dj set that we highly recommend. trust us when we say that these two brothers really now how to turn up the heat in a club…serious biz!

eclectic avenue welcomes the inimitable lil mark, one of the true stalwarts of the uk house scene & regular contributor to some of the finest imprints worldwide. here mark expertly shows his unique knack for genre-straddling. kicking off with pulling strings more familiar lil mark territory, with his trademark tight-as-hell percussion & firing bass sat below a freaked-out twisting riff. seriously, this bad-boy takes no prisoners....other than the ones on the dancefloor.... on the flipside we are treated to memoirs, a beautifully sumptous lo-slung roller, utilising a vox refrain over the top of a glorious rolling bass groove. like being comforted by a welcoming acid-bass-hug, this is truly something special. nestled inbetween marks original cuts is e.a.r. main-man j.cub, who offers up an alternate interpretation of memoirsl. taking the vox refrain & weaving it throughout the track like an instrument, j.cub nudges the tempo up slightly & adds a solid percussive backdrop & a reworked bass groove, creating a cut which is deep enough to warm the crowd but packs a solid punch at the same time

cutting edge 2004 avant-techno classic with strong disco roots.

lost paradise delivers a modern execution of our post-disco dance music culture, maintaining references to the past and looking for the oasis on the horizon. lost paradise #2 features two originals from space coast, aka sleazy mcqueen and jorge collazo. *vibe a.m.* is deep and dreamy with live flute and piano, emotive melodies and groovy bass. social disco club and last waltz turn in two completely different mixes, both fit for the late or early hours of the night. *cant get enough sunshine* is a melodic and cerebral ode to mid-nineties new york house but with a twist.

phoenix g. ferm and deep kickdrums that are being accompanied by lengthy chords and a frequently return male vocal that states, bounce. all and all this is the dancefloor music we are used to from mr.g. the a2 brings a more technoish vibe to dance to. this fits perfect in the modern trend of bass producers turning techno. while of course g is somewhat more of a legend and he didnt just turn to this type of music recently. it does proove that he is still abel to catch any kind of vibe to get the people moving. on the b1 we find a ben sims remix. which of course is enough said. mr sims turns the a2 original into an absolute floor wrecker.

simply an amazing collection of sophisticated, full functional dancefloor

3 chairs, omar s and patrice scott. this limited ep is testament to the wild basement energy that has culminated from these nights, beautifully pressed on wax for this first ever vinyl outing. remember is a swinging downbeat vocal track based around a superb vocal improvisation from newcomer chris raine. an ambitious opener, this is fine uk hip soul with warehouse dancefloor swagger to boot. next track, the benji b endorsed cookie strips the vocals right down into a swirling motif of sunrise energy. this track sounds great on the radio, but will also find favour on the more discerning soulful floors. for a contrast flip over for the kraftwerkian micro-tech of contact to hear what a werk party sounds like at a hazy-eyed 3am and finally, as if all this wasnt enough check out the dubby, spaced-out brawn of u&me which sees second outing for vocalist chris.... on this ep which rounds things off nicely. for fans of firecracker, exit records and prime numbers, this exciting and multi-faceted ep marries uk and detroit influences with consumate ease. one to watch... plays/ supported by benji b, rahaan, kev beadle, burnski, kevin reynolds etc.

die fromme geduld hat sich gelohnt - das >gute leben< ist jetzt. auch wenn die im juli erschienene >waiting for the good life< dank gewohnter qualitaet und einem exorbitanten gastkatalog, die dürreperiode ausgesprochen vergnueglich in kurzweilige vergessenheit geraten ließ, hat die neugierde auf den dritten full lenght player des domstadt produzenten-doppels jr & ph7 damit nur noch mehr floriert!
