featuring new material and recorded in the bands isolated studio on the edge of the essex marshes, the album ebbs and flows in mood like the nearby blackwater estuary. working with a palette of vintage drum machines, analogue synths, textural samples, acoustic recordings, electric bass & heavily treated guitar, the songs were born out of captured live studio performances.

the latest installment in deadbeat s infinity dubs series sees him submerging his rhythms deep into the echo chamber, offering up 2 solid state dubs with basslines so low only the largest systems will even register their presence. enlightenment through stoic repetition is the order of the day here, and deadbeat once again proves his unrivaled skills as a master hypnotist on both cuts. dont sleep.

dutch breakcore/jungle legend fff recently joined the prspct family and his first release on our rvlt imprint rocks pretty damn hard! 6 tracks of epic nostalgic proportion taking you back to the good old amen days. jungle, breakcore, dark dnb, rave and even some oldschool gabber vibes. this ep has it all!

once upon a time ... in the midst of masked identities, artist pseudonyms and the like, midnight shift introduces a creature not even of human form. tapirus conjures music reflecting the duality of his soul. on one hand, rough and acidic to tell of the terrain of his past. and on the other, pure ethereal sounds borne of another place. this ep, showcasing 3 songs of the tapirus alongside a remix by label artist basic soul unit, is just the introduction to his tale.

the star eyed condition is chameleonic effort in the impossible to pin down trajectory of loden s career. the belgian-based producer and musician has already proven his facility for glassy disco and droning ambient on his 2005 debut valeen hope, and glitchy hip-hop via his work with sole and thirsty fish.
on his new album, koks goes even further beyond his already drawn boundaries. there is a touch of robo-electro to tracks like *optimist never cries* and *sanesserarian* (a play on the phrase *ça ne sert a rien* or *it is useless*). he brings the ghostly sounds of german electronic pop into the dirtiest of hip-hop beats. and on his collaboration with rhymer doseone, *future confetti*, he gets lost in a psychedelic wilderness worthy of dj danger mouse.

summer parties are now open for business and we ve smashed together a collection of sounds guaranteed to melt even the coldest ice cream. heavy basslines mixed with dubstep grooves topped up with a touch of pure old skool rave

another hot new osl(n)orwegian talent high on the heels of thomas, hp, terje and the likes tarjei nygard, head of untz untz records is no complete unknown on the international circuit. and will be even less after this release.

cocoon recordings celebrates the 100th release! incl. 3 x vinyl + 2xcd + ein paar exklusive slipmats! well, to be honest, we are even over in the 100 meanwhile as our anniversary release needed some time to get well prepared and to make sure it will be a very special one.

in september 2013 mos ferry presents the fourth album smoke by dapayk & padberg. after their last album sweet nothings on stil vor talent in 2012 with its summery-funky sound the duo is now opening the door to a gloomy-melancholic world. dapayk & padberg consciously turn their back on the dancefloor and abandon the formerly typical balancing act between club sound and listening electronica. even though the a side of the present single is certainly made for the djs, it shall be the sole exception to their current creative path. the down-tempo version of smoke on the b side already reveals the new dapayk & padberg uneasy listening mixture.

mary velo at the controls for frozen border. marys tracks are deep while silent servant finishes off the ep with an even deeper monotonic remix of manhattan project!

the ambassador of the bat, yes it is true, and the ambassador of german melodic techno music dominik eulberg is releasing, 8 months after *ein stuckchen urstoff*, a new ep on traum. fans of his music can anticipate another masterpiece of melodic music, which is based on him fiddling with sounds, acoustics… keeping up of what we refer to as the eulbergsche language. this time it seems to be even more exhilarated and driven by passion. does this make sense when you speak about someone who is considered to have great compositional skill? yes we think the liveliness shows up in greater chunks, and the crispiness of the ideas rise to a point which is exceptional and... for those who seek techno realism… it can be found here as well.

every label has a >release of doom<, a 12 inch that was an incredible pain in the ass to put together and where everything imaginable went wrong. well this new trevino record was it! i wont go into details but this ep is too good to let bad karma prevail. >gone< has been a staple in my sets ever since i first heard it and >regnie< is possibly one of the best nighttime highway driving tracks (try it!). trevino, is he the best golfer in techno, or the most innovative techno producer on the golf circuit? fact is, im so happy this record finally sees the light of day and would be even happier if youd be into it too...

special nice price deal!
- slightly harder sound this time out, with a deep and dark tech house vibe rich with ominous synths and engaging effects that subtly build and build. flip for an even more techno slanted sound with manic synths, and detroit flavored rhythms that burst into an energized tech house finish. these guys are definitely fine tuning their sound

rsi is a new label affiliated to the tusk wax empire, and for their first release they look to the unexpected choice of the posthuman duo of rich bevan and josh doherty. hecatism sees the pair wander into deeper corners than their music is usually known for, trading electro breakbeats for a mid tempo production filled with resonant textures and vocal chunks that could nominally be described as house, while helioshock sees them break out the 303 for some heady acid grooves. the remixes of the title track come expertly chosen also, with disco bloodbath resident damon martin taking the track even deeper into something approaching balearic groove, and pork intl, who adds a distinctly more interstellar flavour to the original with its danny wolfers-style analogue house chords.

drop that records is the continuation of the concept label b.l.a.t.t. . it is more striped down in his appearance and even more focused on the dancefloor. the sound will move between reduced & dubbed out house & techno music. on each release you will find some forgotten specials a vinyl record could entail. drop that_001 features 2 tracks by mint 4000 and a live jam by sevenmint, a long term livepa collaboration between seven (rg25) & mint 4000. music can say more then words, so listen and enjoy.

for the fourth r-zone, we serve up three more tracks of fizzing atmospheric house. first track exclamation is rough and rugged with rattling percussion hidden behind layers of grainy sci fi ambiance and the breathy exhalations of a male voice. nebulous pads and synths spiral around each other forming a dense layer of dust and next track march of the worms is even more militant. this one crawls deep below the surface where analogue machines carve out weird patterns, forming a truly knackered sounding house groove. finally, claustrophobic habits bangs a bit harder, its all splintered drums and coarse claps backed with a howling, gnarly groan and truly transports you to a sonic universe miles away from the norm.

a little over year after its foundation, reaktivate achieves one of its 1st major goals: to put out a release in a tangible, physical format. even though the label tries to put the same care into each of its releases, independently of the final form it takes, as we believe in making the music acessible to as many people as possible, we realize that entering the vinyl market is a decisive step in the showing of commitment and belief in what we do and the artists we support, to the scene at large. for this landmark release, rkt upholds its tendency to be a platform that combines both newcomers and established artists in techno. up and coming colombian talent daniel restrepo (astronomical telegram) represents a strong bet that we feel is justified, and here he is met by three (well, actually four) artists with proven track records in modern techno with an eye beyond the functional.

following the ritual viber of his first single n1 and the journey through the forest of his aguirre remix, now fango gets even a herd of horses at full gallop for his new single. climb in the saddle!

cover: hiss : 1292 - aetherius society epit was all unplanned : the duo even got its name after this first record got its mastering. hiss : 1292?s aetherius society ep is a powerful and passionate statement. the creative frenzy of two talented producers - one from switzerland 12?, the other one from the parisian suburbs 92? - stuck together in a studio in geneva, just a couple meters away from the roaring noise of a construction site. they ve been putting computers out of the picture, jamming on their machines, synths and effects, and thus creating both forward-thinking and retrofuturistic pieces of techno, with that special instant classic feel.

in preparation for the release of kirk’s full length album later this summer, far out recordings dishes up a second instalment of tasters and remixes from a cadre of new label recruits and recent collaborators furthering the kaleidoscopic sambatek template of deep and dark techno meets brazils renowned rhythm. following on from the success of volume one in the sambatek remixes series, volume two offers an even more diverse take on kirks effusive productions seeing bnjmn (uk), spatial (uk) and argentinas jonas kopp step up to the plates.

andrea tirone, the 27-year-old italian songwriter and producer behind mind enterprises, is a perennial outsider. forming a post-punk band in his teens, he soon started to crave the uks more vibrant music scene. two years ago he decided to leave his family and friends in italy, london, for tirone, signified freedom, and a place where you could be surrounded by other oddballs and music obsessives, possibly even make a career out of it too.

krasnodar, located around 1500km due south of moscow is where aleksander tochilkin (kott) calls home. from this city, deep in the south of the giant russian state, kott crafts and creates even deeper cuts of house music.
this, his debut ep for italian imprint dabit, is made up of three original tracks and remix by dave scott. *physics* is firmly rooted in the classic house ethos, chopped vocals and glorious strings build an impressive backdrop for the swinging hats and off beat snares. it is hard to listen to this track without thinking about the sun.

at the edge of failure a door to greater understanding and discovery is sometimes opened. some of mankinds greatest discoveries and experiences took place by sheer coincidence or even by mistake. from the big bang, to penicillin, or the invisible light we call x-rays, chance and human error has played a big part of our history and evolution as a species - can we really afford to be perfect when we owe our mistakes and weaknesses so much?

the flames still burn white hot on friedas musics first record. this seems to be no reason not to throw more explosives on top. with the elephant carousel ep the second label maker don ramon inspires a dance carousel that makes even the most peaceful pachyderms on friedas soil rotate. all four tracks are infectious to body and soul. each for itself an original. all four tracks extensively tested on the party crowd by aunt friedas nephew. rather in a club night or at a funny after hour- hands were in the air and the corner of the mouths were rising high. a very special delight for the friends of the upper class reduction surely is the argenis britos remix of the track wild goats. all in all definitely an ep that streches the trunk in the sky!

the descent of man ep is the third and last part of a trilogy on vinyl dedicated to charles darwin studies. this final chapter is focused on the darkest side of electronic music and his impact on human psychology. as charles darwin studied the evolution of physical and mental traits, we want to show how obscure, trembling and aggressive sounds generate an increasing sense of agitation and loss while mild and gloomy atmospheres can relieve the body and brain, achieving a peaceful state of mind. dont be afraid to move into a shady space. this is not the end even if it could be.

few djs and producers have had the longevity and success that jerome has had throughout his career and even fewer can lay claim to having graced such esteemed labels as planet e, drumcode, defected and renaissance to name but a few. on the bicept ep jerome sydenham takes time out from running his renowned house imprint ibadan records to deliver the fantastic four track bicept ep for desolat.

capital bass records continues to explore new sonic territories with its second release by spb based analogue-head ponty mython.
the main theme called jesus makes you stomp your feet to its funky beat and phat acid bassline that mutates during the track keeping things deep without getting too religious. futureboogie man christophe does some good work on the remix adding some extra syrup: even more bass plus preachers speech in the middle of the track.
the b-side goes even deeper with blackstreet sampling number u ve got your pr0blems. starting off with the smooth disco beat, little guitar and that catchy male vocal the track changes halfway with addition of funky acid squelches and 4x4 house beat that makes you realize you really, really want to stay at the dancefloor.

the best is yet to come is the title of the newest release by schallbox records and also stands for the claim of the basel based recording label to continually evolve and develop itself further, thereby upping the ante with each new release.
schallbox014 is a deep and ever grooving track made by berlins michael nielebock and leevey that will definitely see the openair season prolonged until the end of the year. additionally, larsson delivers a dubby remix featuring an electrifying beat and broad synth sounds. schallbox even resurrects some golden memories of legendary bar25 - courtesy of sasch cawa and dirty doerings remix which is furthermore gratifying the vinyl package. last but not least the release is completed by the contribution of newcomer benotmane from basel, who converts the original into a dreamy sunrise tune.

just when you thought this could not get any better… after the sold out and critically acclaimed meta-kraut-bombs dropped by icasol the nouveau art indie trip gets even deeper

this is the third and last release of >unknown possibilities 3< trilogy. >unknown possibilities 3-1<, the first title of the series, was released in 2005, and the second one, >unknown possibilities 3-2<, followed in 2006. both of them were released only on vinyl from torema records. all tracks on this double pack were remastered by rashad of dubplates & matering to offer even more beat-oriented sound

more than six years into his career after several eps and a full album, there isn’t much known about ben gibson, and he is clearly keeping it that way with intent. gibson first emerged on jeff mills’ experimental, influential 6277 sublabel but then again vanished into the ether, he only reappeared three years later on perc trax, even more surprisingly with a full-length. since then, he’s gone on to steadily more notice with perc’s imprint, sect records, and most recently m_rec ltd in spite of the continuing lack of information. exposure isn’t the most important thing for us at chronicle though, and after hearing these five tracks, we saw exactly what it is that drew mills to him from the beginning. it is a sound that we find a perfect fit for the techno futurism of our chronicle series, and here we offer a platform for gibsons more sci-fi, ethereal sounding material, exclusively on vinyl for the fifth edition of our sublabel.

for the fourth and final round of the stallions compilation, bosconi records closes in style with athena: muscular four tracks that run between detroit and chicago sounds, dub and ambient aiming at the discovery of new, unexplored horizons. selected big stallions, which feature the best of their talent trying to cover up unknown journey and territories but leading to surprising results. the oliverwho factory with a rousing mind free, nick anthony simoncino of an entrancing and picturesque tramonto techno, nicholas with a soaring and disruptive from somewhere else and ennio colaci on beautifully nuanced hinterland, close one of the most interesting art projects in recent years increasingly raising even more bosconi records in the olympus of globality.

spanish dj and producer uner is looking back on an impressive but intense career. after first milestones on top notch labels like saved and diynamic he scored even more points with his last releases on the Überlabels cadenza and visionquest which made him one of the most wanted minimal-techno-producers around

ms. smooth socal soul meets mr. nocal dirtybird swagger and they have a baby together. that baby is justin jay and at 19 years old he is already making his 3rd appearance on dirtybird. i have a feeling this is justin jays breakout record. the a-side static is at 119 bpm and will sweep you up then rip your pants off. but even when you get hit with the massive bassline, an old school anchor stays intact. waves b-side has a classic deep dirtybird feeling, with tuned 808s and a surprising melodic element showing off the sweeter side of this up and coming young gun. justin jay has more potential than anyone i have heard in a while and if he continues to play like he has been lately, he has a long dj career ahead of him as well.

this one has been in the pipeline for a long time now…and finally those cheeky chappies, the popular peoples front, drop a killer release on disco deviance! featuring their usual blend of disco, electrofunk and proto-house vibes, both reworks are 100% guaranteed to rock the dance floor, and are lovingly extended and amended in trademark ppf style. beautifully remastered and cut loud for dj use. enjoy the music!

a refreshing deep house tune, upholding the basics of the genre, yet enhancing them and experimenting in various ways, a rare sight for younger artists. sweet bass line, nice non-tiring kicks, ambient sounds and low vocals sounding like subliminal rites, producing a sensual result that should satisfy the demanding deep house listener. remarkable rise and drop of intensity during different parts of the track, mid voices spanning across a few measures to enrich the different parts, and many other little touches, make the track sound refreshing even after many hearings.

mos ferry presents a brand new super groovy house ep b apendics.shuffle and dilo. two years ago their first release on the label was filed under their alter ego cascabel gentz. now, after making the decision to reveal themselves to us, the new tracks feel even more personal and heart warming

zeitgeber is a german word that, loosely translated, means synchronizer. its also the new project of electric deluxe head speedy j and stroboscopic artefacts boss lucy. both artists make some of the most forward-thinking techno around, but zeitgeber sees them pushing together even further into uncharted territories.

back to the future! two years after kanns diverse family horror various double 12, the label fills the gap by releasing catalogue no.10 including interpretations of 3 tracks from the compilation. it is no accident that the original artists met their brothers in mind for choosing their favorite horror track. whites edward converted johannes beck, hamburgs analogue king rvds rolls up with even tuell and the swedish duo of dancefloor-masters axel boman and petter called salax peep show restarted the machines for map.ache. the family stories continues.

you know you are ready for something special when lord umek comes up with a one-tracker, and even the title on this one lets you know you are in for a manic ride. sly bass sets the tone, under the tightly-wound rhythm section and flashy stabs make way for a cheeky vocal that takes the lead role. the busy drum edits keep the adrenaline levels high at all times and yet another page is written in production history, with umeks trademarked sound.
