3rd installment in the successful historical archives edit series. a side features an unrelenting edit of the group jakkis ode to the sun, ripe for the summer. the flipside turns a chaka khan b side rarity into a disco not disco clash with jack. deep underground chicago staple of music played by the chosen few to the ones who truly know how deep it is. now its time for the masses to feel the real deepness of the true chicago 80s era of music. only ten percent of what happened here in the 80s, is known to the rest of the world. dont you wanna know the rest? become a member

program 1 sets precedent for bass and distortion by giving zero respect to gravity with its displaced click-clock. the plane is minimal, creeping and crawling behind disorientating moves. program 3 bumps and pans around unpadded walls, snapping and reversing itself into a twilight zone episode of darkness. closing out the session is program 2, a ten-minute throb that echoes with dulled-snares, muted hi-hats and tone pulses that allow the bass in as the melody. influences of hawtin s concept 1 and plastikman (closer-era) projects float along, but jpls (aka jeremy jacobs) draws his own perspective with subtle lines, disjointed rhythm and evolving surprises of tone

good guys never make it to the top, or so the saying goes. ours is an era in which most of the people who >break through< barely deserve to be allowed to live, never mind have their own radio shows. however, the continued rise of the model aka radu munteanu is almost enough to rekindle your faith in that old adage about cream floating to the surface. the angels unknown fears ep is a prime slice of gigolo action

after last month s superb ep from burnski, up steps label boss simon baker. it sounds like a lost acid-era classic, as cheeky fxs pan back and forth as the track builds into a rolling mass. ivan smagghe, ralph lawson, funk d void, paul woolford, dj hell….

london based subway are back with their most club friendly release yet. the third outing on their own label threetone drops two solid tracks of modern european dance.. a side >lizard< rides a synth bass arpeggio straight out of the electro era, backed up with slammin beats and a dancefloor-destroying arrangement.on the flipside >patterns< maintains the dancefloor vibe but stalks into deeper, darker territory with itss heavy walking bass and beats, all topped by a dirty phased synth hook..

the house invaderz are in the place !! part.3 of the house invaderz serie and another megablaster 12inch !!! exun s superstar dj linus arrives straight from munich with this mentally challenged minimal echno anthem. >mind your head< is the perfect track to play with >afterblaster<, the hit from alexkid & chloé (hybr1201) - it reminds me of the 1995-97 era.the inner track is from mr.barcode who is none other than jay tripwire, canada s most prolific house producer of all time and on the flip you ll find two tracks, one from drd which will remind you when you was playing race games in the mid 80s and da fresh who try to beat the hi score one more time with a dancefloor peaktime filler as usual

break 3000 and adam kroll take quite some chances in naming their first collaboration 'get down' cause in the golden era of funk and disco every second track that was produced to 'just' get people on the went by this title ( a quick namecheck on allmusic.com confirms close to 300 entries ). well, our two protagonists surely had a few of those blueprints in mind as they clearly quote some of the main characterisitcs - handclaps, pulsating moroder style bassline, extra thick slap bass, robotic voice - mix them up with a few drops of acid, a rough guitar riff plus majestic paino chords and distill everything to a luiquid, sleek state-of-the-art house funker. the flip is more introspective and very atmospheric with darker, moody chords, yet the galloping square bassline and the omnipresent sharp highlight make sure that 'tonite' theres no parking on the dancefloor. when the players arrivea the club...beware

this is wicked wax , which is definetly an old school meets new school record . you will hear the 303 , 808 morphed together with new machines of this era. 4 songs that rock the floor , both in the beginning , middle and end.(haha) without giving you the names of the people involved on this record , we will give you a clue - - one of them is has been rocking out records since 91 (he is german) the other was once a child superstar whos albums have sold more than 4 million to date (no kidding , he is from south america) and the other is one of the hottest producers in the moment (who recently had a nice haircut)

alice is a classic track from the sisters of mercy's gothic era. on the poppy 'do you think…?', every melodic phrase reveals a different shadow: aspects of andrew eldritch (this time his side-project the gift), new order or the belgian ebm scene.

dear human survivors,Ê while the story of grounded in humanity is coming closer to its glorious end - there will be 3 more releases before the final showdown of humanity vs. human clones - the birth of our spin-off label human insurgents is taking shape. the first chapter, a 11-track album, is written and told by phat lord - who is also known as leader of the human resistance, trying to put an end to the brutal regency of the clones. phat lord is a true legend of the underground and his origin and location are totally unknown, even for the largest part of the resistance. some say he may even be a clone himselfÉ. the album is a sonic trip through various mental states and dystopic landscapes. it is a result of 8 years moving below the surface and often in the dark, to avoid discovery. he worked with simple, analog methods, focusing on the true essence of sound. we recommend a setting that allows for deep listening and proper bass support.Ê

marking sixty years of bossa nova, and twenty years since marcos valle s first release for far out recordings, what better time to bring back this era-defining classic from the brazilian master composer?

the music contained in this album invokes the vibes and spirit that were so crucial to much of the music recorded during the 1960s & 70s in jamaica. if you talk to the musicians and singers of this era, they will tell you that the driving force behind the songs they created was the sheer love of music. this is one of the reasons these recordings are so powerful and move listeners to this day. music like this can only be made by those who were schooled in the studios and yards around kingston and is not something that can be easily reproduced outside jamaica. the kingston all stars represent some of the most legendary musicians to ever grace the little island & it is thanks to their passion and dedication that we have a lifetime of music to enjoy.

ideas call for realisation, realisations turn into habits, habits then quickly turn into traditions, and traditions become an intrinsic part of culture. born at the turn of the new millennium as a symbol of a new era for electronic music, kompakt s longstanding total series returns with its 18th iteration, spreading over two cds the essential of the label s last few months of intense activity and extended breadth of resources, blowing out its 25th birthday candle with the breath of a young, throbbing heart.

to those familiar with the output of cologne-based imprint firm from back in the early Ô00s, the name of geiger, alias nass, shall undoubtedly ring a bell. herald of an hedonistic melange of funk- soaked electro pop and guitar-riddled synth music, sitting somewhere close to acts like ween and junior boys, alexander geiger is about to break a eight-year hiatus with the drop of his debut album under the newly-founded moniker of fahrland. a release that both encompasses a healthy dose of the discoid tropes from the firm era but also aspires to split with a segment of it, geared towards exploring further undisclosed fringes of his shape-shifting sound universe, Ômixtape vol.1Õ is the fruit of a decisive move from the sleepless berlin to the peaceful countryside landscapes of fahrland Ð a lushly forested area near potsdam which youÕll have understood played an essential role in geigerÕs longed-for return.

answer code requestÕs 2014 debut lp code was an exciting moment for electronic music in berlin Ð one that offered a break from the eternal hall and monolithic 4/4 kicks that ruled the cityÕs club landscape. as a hybrid gesture, the albumÕs spirit recalled an especially fruitful era in the german capital from the mid-90s to early 2000s, when dub and pad- driven detroit techno cross-pollinated with berlinÕs industrial aesthetic to create one of the cityÕs most exciting musical chapters.

kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

late 80s south african dance floor winners only! selected by dj okapi and antal, the compilation holds tracks by jivaro, the hard workers, ayobayo band, s.y.b. & many more. this is the sharp electronic music that fuelled the local pantsula dances during the 80s and 90s . a must have for fans of bubblegum and kwaito music. top tip! the 12 tracks selected for pantsula! come from a very unique, very different time and place. they represent the birth of electronic dance music in south africa, through the songs of one particular independent label from the time: music team. the sound represents the culmination of the bubblegum era, when south africaÕs disco artists outgrew their american influences and forged an increasingly electronic and ÔlocalÕ pop sound

hot off the heels of the beautiful obsolete machines lp released this month, radiuss cassette demo restoration project returns to form with the interpolation tapes series. the original source tapes had aged, warped and degraded and as a result we ve preserved the best segments, sampled and reprocessed with a vintage prophet 2000 sampler, studio 440 and various linn samplers to add depth and range to the original source material. we ve spent nearly an entire year restoring and interpolating over 100 hours of music, processing sound and redesigning the blueprints of this long forgotten project. every track was originally recorded down to an old tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. we ve had nearly every component replaced and re-calibrated to bring this obsolete machine back to life. it s been a truly nostalgic experience re-visiting and re-arranging these masters, regardless of the time passed, there s so much depth in sound design, raw emotions and when considering the limitations of hardware in the era these were recorded, they ve truly aged like a fine wine. we hope you enjoy this magical time in music, as we are very inspired by all that was happening in those years, theres undeniably something in the air, a mystifying energy, long may it live on.

rezzs involvement in the toronto scene helped grow her gritty style. events like bassmentality and older shows at the legendary guverment helped shape not only rezz, but an era of electronic music producers who became inspired from early dj college tours. mass manipulation is a commentary on how easily our minds can become manipulated by the things we consume in society. we consume heavily through the media, which, in turn, tries to curate our thoughts and dictate how we as humans are supposed to live and behave. this album plays off this idea and invites people to become hypnotized, allowing their brains to be manipulated by my music in the hope they might see things through a new perspective (perhaps an outer world viewpoint) one where everyone is free from the unrealistic expectations planet earth has drawn for them. a world of acceptance and hypnosis.

cd - slipcase, download code for 3 bonus tracks. now with over 20 years of releases behind him, oliver huntemann finds himself on the cusp of yet a new era in his career. propaganda is the fifth proper artist album from the hamburg-based dj/producer, and like each of its predecessors, it shows a different side to one of the most consistently rewarding names in techno. released on his own senso sounds label, the album exudes the level of assurance that perhaps only comes with being so active in curating and developing a label that has stood out from the masses since its inception in 2014.

having come up with an annual-ish drop of 12inches since 2010, even brenden aka chmmr set aside the spring of 2016 to challenge himself to a new format: a full-length album. a true nostalgic, he uses compass point-era and early italo sounds for inspiration and attempts to simulate these styles. this makes for a melodic, chuggy and graphic album that belongs a little more in the living room than on the dance floor. with 10 tracks of dusty rhythms and the honest, naive and spacious themes that is brendenÕs signature, its a record designed to signal that todays technological future may not be as different as yesterdays. features a nice-looking cover painting drawn by the late harold cohenÕs aaron program - automation at its finest. hidden behind his chmmr moniker is even brenden, whose summery debut found its way into the world via norwegian psych-disco label luna flicks in 2010. the record became somewhat of a soughtafter item and after making pit stops at relish, d¿dpop and untz untz records, he landed on prins thomas full pupp in 2014 and have stayed put ever since, all the while enjoying a steady habit of record jocking and the occasional keyboard duty in telephones now-defunct live band. even resides in oslo makes odd waves without vowels.

the only time you wear a tuxedo is when its time to party. so says legendary west coast player snoop dogg on the opening track of tuxedo ii. the blessing of the doggfather is of special importance to mayer hawthorne and jake one, whose second album as a duo finds them at the forefront of a new wave of gangster boogie one that owes as much to g-funk as p-funk. this is the territory of pre- and post-hydraulic low riders: a mŽlange of cali boom-bap, analog synth bass and elegant disco that resonates truth and authenticity in an era where so many are faking the funk

2 cd compilation,a 2016 remaster and expanded version of their era-defining lp movements

it was fitting that brazilian-born, austria-based artist joyce muniz broke through in an era characterised by the cross-pollination and globalisation of music. initially combining the sounds and rhythms of her home country with contemporary european electronic sounds, she later morphed into a house / techno producer of the highest calibre. along the way she worked with the likes of maya jane coles and viennese legends kruder & dorfmeister and released on influential imprints like 2020 vision and shir khanÕs exploited. itÕs the latter which has been her main platform for releasing music since 2011 and where she now unleashes her full-length debut album, made in vienna.

for the past seven years kornel kovacs has been busy rocking dancefloors and boomboxes worldwide as one third of stockholms studio barnhus alongside axel boman and petter nordkvist. the label and dj trio is spearheading a new era of fearless swedish off-centre dance music, straddling the line between the cute and the menacing. anticipation for kovacs debut album has been rocketing following stand out releases like 2014s wistful szikra, last years mad party anthem pantalon on glasgows numbers imprint and the late night groove of space jam on smallville records. on the bells, kovacs pops open his trunk full of sounds nicked from the lost and found bins of nightclubs all over the world. from the distorted organ chords of bb to the stripped down trancehall beats of joseys tune and sziv utca and the title tracks cinematic romanticism, its all of the bells and all of the whistles - further positioning kornel kovacs as one of the most characteristic producers of modern house music. the record was completed in an intense two-week session with kovacs great friend and great studio engineer matt karmil in the cold winter of 2016. another close friend, artist malin gabriella nordin, has created the album artwork together with her brother jonas.
