the dj and producer from cantabria comes back into the picture with this ‘seconds of light’, which is released on his own seven villas music. boli&#769,,var goes deeper and deeper into velvet soul deep-house, with a dreamy touch which is especially present in the track which names the ep. therefore, it counts on a soft groove and an inherent club vibe which makes it perfect for summer sophisticated sets, or even for listening on one’s ‘me’ time. simo&#769,,n garci&#769,,a’s remix of ‘seconds of light’ darkens up the original, giving it an extra push of strong kick in order to take it to the late hours and the vibrating underground dancefloor. ‘all clear’ is under el txef_a’s approach, a modular, cosmic and disco kraut-rock space trip, with an acid reminiscence. illustrated escapisim whch does not forget about the dancefloor. ‘leaves without shadows’ was a track which was originally included in bolivar’s last compilation ‘the obscure figure’, also released in seven villas. pablo enjoys this time the collaboration of upercent from valencia, and also includes a remix by berlin’s duo youandme. deep but rhythmic, almost martial tech-house, which is as well danceable and in constant emotional progression. through his new ‘seconds of light ep’, pablo boli&#769,,var makes us involved in his sound imaginary, which is always wide, varied and gets given qualities which are linked to his music bet: quiality, good taste and international scope.

italian roberto clementi has really struck a chord in the hearts of northerners, with releases on scottish soma, danish echocord colour and swedish kontra-musik. perhaps it’s his ability to create evolving and often emotional melodic landscapes over raw, punchy beats that’s especially appreciated north of the wall. this is very much true for true rotary recordings, in any case, bringing roberto clementi in for the label’s second release. ‘to balance a tide’ is perfectly set in the true rotary recordings universe, combining analogue warmth with genuine musicality. there’s no question roberto clementi has soul and has willingly poured some of it into this release, the music has a considerable thickness to it that’s very pleasing to the ear, yet it’s still exceptionally artful. clementi’s soul seems to be an ancient one, given the timelessness of his tracks – old svek releases come to mind but with an added futuristic twist. this is music for dancing and music for dreaming, all in one package. true rotary recordings is run by joel alter and ena cosovic. stemming from a longstanding mutual appreciation for the combination raw techno with more seductive sounds, the label is a natural development of joel’s and ena’s musical and personal partnership. true rotary recordings represents their mutual musical vision and vibe that they love. keeping it raw and genuine.

good things come to those who wait ... especially to those who wait for the next original dennis ferrer release on his imprint, objektivity. maniac 3000 is the second anthemic single from ferrer s much anticipated upcoming album on defected, paranoia aftermath , to drop early 2017. tapping into his techno-roots for this one, ferrer has managed to create an unlikely union between the groovy techno drums and the suspense of arpeggiated synth line. in ferrer s own words the track was an attempt to go backwards, to move forward .

influenced by detroit and post rave sounds, casey tucker presents an ep that mixes skippy house with percussions and acid bass lines. this record was produced especially for certain music records after he was approached by the end of 2015. rather than providing projects coming straight from his hard drive, he decided to produce all fresh tracks from scratch.

discodromos cocktail d amore label continues to turn out the goods after an especially productive year, rounding things off by reaching out to the violet hour for a 12inch that should worm its way into a wide variety of party scenarios. one morning in the future is an emotive slice of synth-led electro that will surely shine through for those who want a romantic start to the night, while ultraviolet sports a throbbing bassline that could easily see its disco tones edged into a more house-oriented set. prisoner of love is more lean in terms of arrangement, but the dubby fx processing lends it a psychedelic quality that will go down a treat in the early hours of the dance.

newcastle-based producer traela makes his first appearance on wax with this on-point work out for hhatri, a london based label who have previously been happily working with the likes of soichi terada. there is definitely a sense of feel-good optimism and kinked drum programming hovering over this ep, especially on hanging over a river. you know i can hide also stands out with its strafing bass lick and spacescraping synth rolls, but the script gets flipped for ep closer uyokuthola as tribal percussion meets with an ambient atmosphere for a most engrossing end result.

forty six knobs machine by unbroken dub is the first release from nikita zabelins label, resonance moscow. based in the russian capital, the label focuses on electronic music from towns and regions nationwide. unbroken dub is the stage-name of denis safiullin, well known to domestic audiences as a member of the hot wax team. that project comes from the industrial city of tyumen, sometimes called the hydrocarbon heart of russia. winter temperatures in the area can fall below 45c. denis is a long-standing aficionado of analog synths and continues to experiment with all manner of samples. those two trajectories produce a high level of originality, especially when he enlists the support of leading club figures from around the world. denis release for resonance moscow is excellent proof of this bold experimentation. all three tracks on forty six knobs machine use the rokton, an antique soviet drum synth.

nhan solo is back once again, and and this one is especially for the true house heads. two club bombs all wrapped up and ready to go!

blumoog music is again among you with two really great producers on the electronic scene. the second chapter is produced in collaboration with one of the pioneers of new york s electronic/techno music, famous for his historical label proper nyc. steve stoll wanted to collaborate on this project with m.r.e.u.x. even him a famous electronic music s producer, together they blend in this e.p the origin and the evolution of the techno music, created with heart, passion and analog instruments like it was in the 90 years. the lp includes acoustics and settings what are unparalleled in their style, perfect for the blumoog review, an e.p that really can t miss in your vinyl library, especially be carefull to the fragile heart person. the two new york man s tracks are charming and penetrating at once, with the only style of steve stoll, who gives ourselves techno emotions of high level from 20 years ago. the other three tracks are proposed by m.r.e.u.x. they contains psychedelic and power with a big style. all is accompanied from his known detailed musical elegance. he has also created an intro bonus track with analog machines that s electrifying. welcome in the blumoog s future. another nice shot for blumoog music, good listening and always remember: the electronic music will never end!

following up the inaugural release by glos, escapism 002 is a mesmerizing two- tracker by one of leipzig s most talented producers, talski. he is part of the institut fuer zukunft crew, co-runs dur records and also performs rare live sets together with his friend perm as pandt. soothsayer shows why analogue production skills are still highly appreciated in contemporary dance music. by limiting himself to only a few machines, talski manages to create addictive and reduced tracks that focus only on the essentials. this comes especially apparent on soothsayer i which although stripped back, builds tension, has atmosphere and is driving. soothsayer ii is more evolved. straight enough to keep people on the dance floor, yet with a fragile and melancholic beauty to it, that sticks with you long after leaving the club.

them records welcomes back hiroaki iizuka for the its fifth outing. having supplied the the run as the labels first record, here iizuka doubles its play time and track listing length in his stunning voodoo ep. the extra time offered allows iizuka to flex more of his versatile style. them as a label sets out to eschew a techno norm largely made up of a traditional 4 x 4 sound. having come from a london background, the curating of the label gives a nod to the rave sounds of the capital - especially d&b, garage, breakbeat hardcore and grime. that is to say of course along with its characteristic aesthetic of horror and the gothic.
in iizuka them found a common ground: based in hokkaido, japan, iizuka does not share the same london influences, yet shares their base values and thrust. common themes of his sound involve broken and syncopated beats, and a rave energy. this is what lead him to being the first and prime them stable artist. voodoo ep showcases this breadth of iizuka’s style, from tracks that could easily fit into any grime set, such as primitive acid, to the more melodic tones of floating point, in which hiroaki guides them into previously untrodden ground for the imprint.

having worked with the likes of don cherry and laurie anderson, there s little doubting the credentials of ramuntcho matta. emotional rescue have tapped him up for some truly outernational jams that sport african percussion, skronky jazz tones and an engaging minimalism that s hard to resist. the fretless bass and exotic animal cries of -ecoute- are especially appealing, while the squelchy sound design in -o clapo- may well do funny things to all who hear it. it s a startlingly original record that serves as a perfect introduction to a lesser known figure in leftfield music with a great heritage behind him.

a bonafide legend of chicago house and techno, dj skull has done the business since the early days on all manner of labels, and he s still on it now. shoring up at mentha for this no-nonsense four tracker, skull is on especially deep form here as he heads inwards with the subtle shuffle of -accent- and the insistent melodic mantras of -on the double-. the story is no different on the b side, although -rythmic- sports a more sprightly set of drums in amongst the strafing synth lines before -the unknown land- turns out one of the more eerie jack tracks of our time.

randomly few times a year rutherford and eargoggle team up for some monkey business in the studio. as often the result is -monkeyshop- a journey into the deepest, darkest forrests and landscapes of the north. scandinavia is not known for the monkeys but they exist there especially arround gothenburg in the mountains.. the music is a mix between electro and disco, might call it electrodisco and its all programmed and recorded in with the most easy and understandable equipment so its possible for monekys to use... also for you that dont know about gothenburg music scene themselves discribe it like this... - gothenburg is not a jungle, its a zoo-

being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, the orb are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over. it s especially jarring as the duo of accomplished soundsmiths alex paterson and thomas fehlmann has become known for its genre-bending curiosity and surprising sonic detours, exploring experimental soundscapes as well as club-friendly beats. the funny thing is, though, that whatever the context, you know a track from the orb when you hear it. case in point: cow / chill out, world!, their latest full-length offering - a masterful ambient album that branches out in many directions, but unmistakably sounds like the orb in either ear (and probably to your third ear, too).

one sided vinyl with silkscreened b side, comes in clear sleeve with poster numbered, edition of 350 dreams really come true: when we heard tomemitsu s beautiful lo-fi indie songs on the cassette -m_o_d_e_s- back in 2013 we fell in love! especially the track -in dreams- followed us around for months. humming it in the subway, singing along in the car. many dreams later we found out that our friend and fellow hamburger stefan marx also loves the song and even named an art show after it. coincidence? surely not, so together we made the plan to release -in dreams- on vinyl. luckily tomemitsu himself was very happy with the idea and even allowed rss disco to remix the song. the notorious dj and production trio upped the tempo to head-spinning 99bpm, recorded additional drums & bass and added several minutes of pleasure. finally, the two tracks will be released on vinyl for the first time. screen-printed records, including a poster in a clear sleeve. music by tomemitsu, designed by stefan marx, remixed by rss disco, released by mireia records. it s all a dream!

two years after his latest solo appearance on dement3d, francois x, also co-founder of the label, reveals his new ep unicorn paranoia. a record that sounds slightly more intimate indeed, after a period marked by close collaborations, especially with opuswerk (hiss:1292) and antigone (we move as one).

south african born, new york living brendon moeller, man of a thousand guises - including beat pharmacy, echologist and mono blanco - is a prolific producer known especially for his hard yet dubwise brand of techno. founder of the prolific steadfast label, moeller has releases on a number of excellent imprints including echocord and soul people. for zamzam, beat pharmacy indulged his deep love of heady dubwise, crafting two totally unique and uncompromisingly experimental tracks that provide a window into a singular creative soul.

text4 cuts of deep, minimal and mesmerising techno, perfect to move the dance floor in those especially early hours.

filling the night with scars, the new release by our mainstay g&#322,ós marks the second installment on the ravage white series label. at the core of this release, g&#322,ós seems to build bridges between his ambient side on one hand and his thumping club music side on the other hand. especially the a-side covers the clubbier rhythmic vibe whilst the b-side conveys the more emotional vibe. like in the title track, he builds slowly and smoothly but he stays very precise in which acidic sounds come and fade. with this release, he finds a balance between the nostalgic anthem-like euphoria and a more darker and deeper narrative.

nice price deal !!! on insist musics new release he presents a collaboration with swiss djane and producer angelica fravi. these two good friends offer up a pair of brilliantly house tracks: tanzania and koh samui - presented on side b of insist 002. in both tracks soulful voice matches beats and synths perfectly, taking the dancefloors to a higher level. the second track in side b, koh samui takes a more understated, melancholic turn, counterbalancing the ecstatic nature and especially the even more ecstatic interpretation.

nice price deal !!! dan ds 2nd record came into being during dans 2011 summer in berlin. momentos inesquecíveis is portuguese for unforgettable moments. this phrase really hits the head on the nail for a summer of intense and inspiring moments. these moments of sunshine and music were then naturally translated into magical studio sessions. all percussion is played live including cow bells, shaker, wood stick, and analog drum machine programming. since dans first geno release it has been a busy year. dan has been making regular dj appearances in belgium. dan has been become a resident of the audiorama parts at the wood, brussels and additional appearances at the matinee parties in antwerp. a natural friendship grew from a mutual love of music with the matinee boyz. a collaboration between dan d and ward van den bogerd aka veebo (of the matinee parties). dan is also continuing his residency in nuernberg and making several appearances across europe, especially berlin

nice price deal !!! brand new release on the celebrated golf channel label. already causing much online and mixtape fervour from a handful of tps released late last year, this is sure to be another sought after cult classic from the catalogue! dominik von senger may be something of a mystery to most, but his early 80s kraut rock / electronic work on german labels f³nfundvierzig, harvest & verabra have become firm favourites with kraut-rock afficionados and balearic types alike. wonderfully melodic and suitably epic >no name< takes its cue from this fertile era of deutsch muzika and updates it for todays ears and dancefloors, with the kon tiki voyage mix especially spicing up the structure of the original into a more toe-tappingly beautiful piece. the real deal folks! in short, another totally essential hole in one from gc - dont sleep!

nice price deal !!! 4/4 bass drive. the second release of the label bomjbar consists of two tracks. it excels the first one in its obsession, efficacy and energy. advanced daddy contains a part of percussion bass, which accompanies the whole composition. a hard skeleton and high-pitch cry run through your body, especially when there is a high sound. hoboken hollow is softer, but only at the first sight. the composition consists of some parts, which mutually complement each other and it is necessary to listen it overall in order to understand it.

on this last 12inch you will find old & new friends, some good buddies & homies around movida records and they will show you another time their best music. basti grub brings us a new club bomb called >batalistico< as the opener on this ep. our old friend patrizio cavaliere has send us a new track which we love so much and we are sure all >innervisions< fans will love it, too. the guys from gua camole from düsseldorf / germany are well-know and especially on vinyl you will find some rare and exclusive tracks like they did on their own label >gua limited<. their track show you again that typical, phat and amazing sound and will take you on a trippy journey. my good old friend and bro matt star send us a big acid house bomb with the name >aggronaut< which should let you guess what to expect you on this ep. supported by rampa, someone else, stacey pullen, ray okpara, shinedoe, c-rock.

cocoon recordings presents a freaked out deep techno highlight by two masters of their craft: gregor tresher & petar dundov! especially the a-side spike is a crazy monster and we do not exaggerate by writing that we have never heard something like this by these two masterminds before. mental, hypnotic and with a neverending synth firework that modulates with an endless release effect. the two really pushed electronic dance music at least ten steps further. tresher & dundov second mutual work on cocoon recordings follows with differentiator. the two stick to the basic concept of spike however this time it is the good old arpeggio that keeps on modulating until eternity. differentiator almost flows with a little trance appeal and there is even a cool and driving acid bassline giving us the final push. tresher & dundov present us two massive techno tunes that will definitely play in their own league this season!

this second release on nsp music features our roster artists : cØmpass and mtd.
the first one released his first praised ep (12 ) in 2015 on mutewax. it expresses and develops a techno with berlin’s accents and dark influences, hypnotic and industrial. the melodies are entrancing and give another dimension to his music.
nicolas belligoli alias mtd is one of the founders of the label sonntag morgen. he expresses and develops a techno / dub with dark, melancholic and industrial influences. his melodies are sharp and give a new and powerful rhythm. he was noted for the quality of his release (affin record, abstract animal, arts digital...) especially for his work on nachtstrom schallplatten in 2015 (“substances & perceptions” double lp).

vinyl 7- edition of 150 housed in uv printed sleeve. the album is the result of a double consideration travelling on a parallel path. on one hand the sensation evoked by dissonant organic sounds merged into patterns and chaotic structures,on the other hand its connection with the exploration of the concept of propaganda, with its adaptive and unstable nature, its relationship with the concept of privacy and its application in everyday life in the digital era. the two tracks, non sono un criminale and non ho niente da nascondere, are composed by a loop structure in order to emphasise the sensation of anxiety and confusion, the melodic changes are introduced by the use of pronounced reverberations, especially in non sono un criminale

electronic music has always had a special affiliation with space, and the sounds of the cosmos. an inherent love of all things sci-fi, galactic and otherworldy has always been a common thread, especially with techno producers, and so its always a pleasure to come into greater contact with the science of these sounds when creating new music. project alma is a new collaboration between lucianos cadenza records label and the alma sounds initiative that bridges two sets of individual passions, that of lucianos love for music, and alma astronomer antonio hales love of the universe.

the folk group represents a peculiar work within piero umilianis seemingly endless career. recorded for the background music series, it uncovers the maestros passion for folk and 60s/70s music. its especially characterized by the bizarre guitar improvisation and the incredible and funky underworld, a gem that we recommend to any hip-hop producer!

visonia returns to electronic emergencies with the powerful amethyst eclipse ep. evolving naturally from last year s nausicaa, our beloved chilean moves into darker techno territory without losing his distinctive melancholy while experimenting on the crossroads of ambient and electro. once again, the resulting electronic storm will blow you from your inner space to the dance floor and back. artwork was created especially for visonia by silas.nl, also known as fellow ee star machinegewehr.

nightvisions – great minds think alike, and especially with this berlin duo. both shared a passion forelectronic music long before they met and when the magic happened they chose ‘nightvisions’ as their moniker. their debut ep “twin peaks” on schakal recordings is made up of four tracks, two original tracks and two remixes from antialias & mallone and speaking minds.

gerd s return to royal oak! for the occasion he dusted of the classic gear and especially the yamaha dx100. four techno tracks skillfully crafted on planet f.m.d.x.

with hidden shapes ixel presents his debut album on wall music. eleven massive dancefloor oriented driving techno tracks that appear functionally especially uncompromising but multifaceted.

been to long - the well remebered chorus of a successfull parisian duos single hit comes easily to mind while thinking of the latest internasjonal release. after a long hiatus - which feels like surely way long - we restart with one half of the formerly well known milanese pair - boogie drama - and it s very own lele sacchi. deejaying since 1995 sacchi has been and is still one of italys and especially milans musical icons - at least for electronic and alternative worlds, presents himself in his signature style. high on the heals of the success with rebirths smash lele sacchi vs blonde redhead - youre only kosmiquest is dark and cryptic, with a mean but very neat and elegant bassline plus an unmatched groove and feel for the floor. this time well balanced with a tad into psycheledic strinig heaven, wich combined with electronic effects is his ultimate kosmische quest. the whole thing is contered by an airy and superbright no less danceable lauer version and a fantatsic relaxed italo take on kraut which can propably be non done much better than byprins thomas walking on that lunga strada!

one of kompakt s most mythical entities, superpitcher has always followed a thoughtful and rarified release policy, rather honing a record until it s perfect (and risking longer periods of time in between outings) than rushing it out, its a release rhythm that suits his idiosyncratic approach to dance music, not so much churning out floor fodder than creating timeless classics on his own terms. as one of our longest-serving artists, he has still managed to build an impressive portfolio, especially if you consider the ratio of iconic tracks per release. it s no wonder, then, that at any given time, a big part of his back catalogue seems to be sold out. five years after the highly acclaimed, award-winning full-length kilimanjaro (kompakt 222 cd 80), it is time to revisit superpitcher s unique body of work with so far so super, an enticing selection of some of his most cherished cuts - acting as our 2016 vinyl offering for this year s record store day, it collects highlights from all stages of his career, the underground club bangers as well as the conceptual album work. from opener jackson (as featured on pop ambient 2012) and early successes like heroin, baby s on fire (from total 4) or total confusion/speicher anthem i walk to signature tracks like happiness or rabbits in a hurry, you ll find lots of magical moments to unearth or rediscover - all in one jam-packed, gorgeously wrapped vinyl release that no serious fan of electronic dance music should miss out on.

the latest release from the swiss duo larytta, entitled jura libre, is a chunky, massive, intelligent, colorful (in that full on tropical way) four-song collection of club bangers. to be exact the full set actually consists of two original songs with an in-house larytta remix a piece. the originals lean on pronounced inflections of playful, tricky, afro-tropical rhythms, while the reworks go for a more direct four-to-the-floor approach straight for the jugular. apart from the vibrant, tight production what unifies all of these tracks is a head nod towards that nineties club sound, especially that golden age acid rave material. this is music made not only by great producers, but heads that really know and love clubbing culture and history and know how to tastefully reference the past. the ep closes with bota mao pra encima which features brazilian emcee junior, and thats the point at which you start to question if this ep was truly cut in switzerland.

we here at l a mission like to whip out our politics in public. we kinda get off on it. and so were especially excited to slip you b eaners first solo outing on the label. from track titles to sound samples to magazine articles to packaging, this record / magazine / performance package highlights im/migration, the brown experience, and stripped identity.supported by: dave aju, mr. ties, axel boman, mr. tophat & art alfie, duane harriot/devin dare, the black madonna, the mole, eddie c, christopher rau, zambon (the very polish cutouts), delfonic, brandt brauer frick, massimiliano pagliara, luke solomon, west norwood cassette library, delfonic

stuntman mike is a guy with special taste for cars, women and especially music. in his car radio groove is allways present. here s a second part of what he prefers to hear when things get interesting. from motor city , a house legend like alton miller, gives us a gem with this detroit house sound. from the city of rising sun miruga makes an elegant, jazzy and groovy awesome track. and from spain two deep house masters. on the one hand jesus gonsev brings a tasty bass and juicy string. on the other hand ernie explores his dark side with this deep and dusk track. four great artists for this new soundtrack. mikes takes it out loud in his car. what are you waiting to do in yours? limited to 300 copies.

deto & gleam is back with a massive piece of modern dub techno. the 180 g limited transparent vinyl comes with 2 tracks. eerie sounds cutting through the dense atmosphere and the instruments are detecting signals… (hint: side b is especially laid back at 33 rpm)

a side : klaaar when you hear about klaaar, you’d probably assume it has something to do with samples and colourful grooves. on a side, klaaar, that has featured on all the previous label releases, is playing with funky vocal cuts on « contemplative action », and spoken words on « definition is », with heart warming beats on each track. b side : ortellaknown especially for his prim-and- proper take on dirty deep house with releases on rutilance and his own imprint mad in lyon, ortella have been delivering consistently great levels of house, and strikes once again on the b-side with his very special rough and deep sound signature. track titles « shut up and listen to deep house » and « bigmalyon » says it all. shaped for the floor

an anachronism is a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of person(s), events, objects, or customs from different periods of time. the most common type of anachronism is an object misplaced in time, but it may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material/textile, a plant or animal, a custom or anything else associated with a particular period in time so that it is incorrect to place it outside its proper temporal domain. frustrated funk welcomes heinz kammlers teleportation process detected while in progress itpdwip project to its roster.

through shards of frozen soundscapes, boss006 defrosts the stockholm sound with the bm debut of kalawila, whose ample use of sparse building techniques creates a rigid and tight groove structure. this subtle attitude fueled two tracker is what s up in 2016, especially in the bossmusik hometown of stockholm: the extended aside grasps intelligence while swiftly pushing forward. as for the flipside, this intergalactic adventure shares tight resemblance to the mystery unknown atmosphere of bossmusik s sonic universe, and sums up this little bomb in a clever and rewarding way... watch out!

throwing snow presents axioms, bringing together a trio of singles developed for his ever-changing ever-changing live sets. built for the summer, yet seen through a wintery prism, these six dancefloor-facing tracks have been received wide-ranging support, including thom yorke, gilles peterson, four tet, sasha and laurent garnier. previously digital-only, the tracks are pressed onto heavyweight, multi-coloured 12inch, along with two locked grooves created especially for the vinyl release, and presented in bespoke die-cut sleeve with clear acetate window displaying the coloured wax. cut & mastered by matt colton at alchemy and limited to 500 copies worldwide

repress in black sleeve,
what can be said about this hasnt already? cited by many as one of the most influential chicago trax there ever was, especially those within techno circles unsurprisingly, computer madness set the stage for a new wave of demented club tracks along them like the gherkin jerks n aw that. you know the script by now. originally released on muzique in 89, the work that mutha fucka ep is a goddamn classic and thats all you need to know, if you didnt already. and guess what? you dont lug that ol beat-up copy around anymore. fresh artwork from the resurrected dance mania, and a full-blown sexy sleeve lookin sexy as a mutha...

releasing an album is a daunting task, especially in dance music. you got to keep it fresh and exciting from the very beginning until the last track, not sticking to one tempo, make tracks that work both at home and in the club and ultimately tell a story with your music. alexander lay-far knows a thing or two about this, having his debut album so many ways out back in 2013. the thing with lay-far and a big reason why we ve always had a soft spot for him is his way of incorporating a certain magic in the tracks that leaves you on an uplifting and optimistic note. therefore we re really excited to release his second album, how i communicate, on local talk. how i communicate is a two part vinyl release which we hope will come as a fresh breeze in these days where so much dance music simply lacks the actual musical aspect or the organic approach. like most producers and djs that are influenced by soul, disco, jazz and the blacker side of electronic dance music its all about the actual tune . listening (or dancing) through this album we hope you ll find your special tune (or tunes!) that hopefully will bring joy to your ears. to his aid lay-far has invited an impressive cast of collaborators such as ashley beedle & darren morris, restless soul, sean mccabe & mark de clive-lowe to give the tracks that little extra something under the watchful eye of lay-far himself. or as lay-far describes it himself the album is about the music as the universal language, the ultimate means of communication, bringing people of the world together. part 2 will be released in the new year...

new vinyl only offshoot from masterworks music, pressed on 10 inch with a printed sleeve. first release is from closed paradise with 2 special cuts commissioned especially for this series. 2015 was a big year for closed paradise with releases for labels like kolour ltd, diggin disco deep, whiskey disco, & above machine.

nice price deal !!! for its first excursion, the new space inspired label meteorythm took off from earth to return with three atmospheric tracks. on the a side, first data’ leads you beside their spacecraft from preflight to deep space experimentations by using a vocal countdown and a powerful delay bass. the analysis of the initial results led to the b side, untitled theories’. this one is based on a non-stop rolling hat and a groovy bass line, accompanied by scintillating synths. to complete the release, the parisian producer coni, reorganized the algorithms to immerse yourself in a mixture of deep frequencies especially designed for a big room.
