special 12 inch featuring new versions of the track fa, taken from the debut fennesz solo album >hotel paral.lel< (1997). 15 years after its initial release, christian fennesz gives this throbbing monster of a track a new seeing to, extending it and adding more of that magic he is so well known for. the album was always an exercise in exploring alternate means of hearing club based music. this new version carries that concept further.
this is backed by a cracking new mix by the ever productive mark fell, adding his unique beat structures, and even a mlk sample, which lends his contemporary rhythmic landscape a odd nostalgic twist.
this 12 inch can be seen as a warm up for the new fennesz album, which is currently scheduled for 2013 release.

downtown party network from lithuania have been behind some serious releases and remixes over the last few years. combining disco influences with a knack for crafting weighty and warm deep house of the highest order… for their iib debut they have produced a duo of dreamy, melodic and irresistable vocal house gems which stand tall in their own right. as ever, the iib team have drafted in some seriously heavyweight remixers. veteran uk producer richard norris aka the time & space machine has delivered a truly superb rework of >the returning<. bringing the live elements of the track to the fore and unleashing a dazzling eyes closed on the dancefloor moment, and a bit of a classic in our humble opinion! finally scandanavian disco legend prins thomas takes on the same track and transforms it into an epic, spacious mix, underpinned by a widescreen acid bass and relentless, building groove.

clft is taking another step into the techno scene, releasing the first record of its own label. a techno imprint as versatile as the french webzine, with a basic channel touch that will feed every mans complex musical attractions. italian producer kaelan impulses the labels debut with callout and void, two clean dubby tracks showing the producers ability in composing opaque and obsessive atmospheres. londoner fundamental interaction exploits a1s moody gesture while ben gibsons first ever remix takes on a progressive and groovier approach of a2. with the sympathies of: aubrey, albert van abbe, abdullah rashim, and, miles sergé, eric cloutier, lenny posso, unbalance, jeroen search, anthony shake shakir..

foam fangs could be a term used to describe silks preferred take on that too-easily dismissed 70s dancefloor dementia of disco – the soft bite, love nibble, mirrorball on steady/ready perma-revolve. jesse reiner (jonas reinhardts first mister, alongside past/part-time collaborators like phil manley of trans am and damon palermo of mi ami/magic touch), who never quite had the kranky krinkle of his ohm-ambient labelmates, travels head-on, tomorrowland-style, through long-form cosmic moroder constellations of >foam fangs<. nothing frothy about it, though there is a bit of the rubbery in reiner’s bounce-about, cool, funky kraut-disco. suddenly we are beaming back to a time when the world looked forward, envisioning a 21st century decked with silver, chrome, and neoprene. it is a sonic space both transparent and shiny, the metallic ding and cold ribbon of data, scrolling through infinite space. the opener, >foam fangs<, transports us instantly into an ever-expanding universe of sound and light at once fanning out and folding in on itself. variations on that theme continue as the jonas journey oscillates through the beat-beyond.

cecille has always been a good start kid for many great artists, the label has been always open for some new inspirations and sounds. some of them in the past, has been called newcomer and made already the step into the big arena, like nick curly, markus fix, sis, butch, robert dietz and many more, this time we present you another new talented artist from ibiza (spain) named loopsize, the 30 years old simpatico guy, we call him also the machine, comes with his first release ever on cecille.4 loopy punchy tracks with their own sense of groove and drive.

considered by those in the know to be one of the founding fathers of dutch electronic music, rick van breugel makes returns to his rare electrick dragon alias for a superlative debut on the cyber dance imprint with space connection. hardly the most prolific of labels, cyber dance releases are invariably italo disco worthy of your attention and the three tracks here ensure this status quo remains! tough and rough, >night with you< finds room amidst the flexed drums and thick arpeggiated groove to drop some romantic italo vibes for the lovers out there, whilst some sort of odd laser fx on the two adds that extra degree of individuality to the gleefully effervescent exercise in constantly building joy that is the title track. final track >soon as the stars< is a production that could only have emerged from the lowlands, the ever present outer galactic synth work and subtle yet intricate tape saturated percussion complemented by key lines that spiral in and out of focus with hypnotic intent.

elektro guzzi have been called a lot of things – from man-machine to first ever real live techno band – and most critics have added plenty of superlatives to their descriptions.

we keep the good-times rolling along on the kolour mothership with the debut ep of deep-disco don debonair. we have been taking notes on this guy since we heard his first tune and ever-since, he just seems to move from strength to strength with each tune that is released. needless to say, when the opportunity arose for us to debut his first full-on solo ep, it was the epitome of a no-brainer for us. debonair shows us all facets of his musical capability with a melting pot of music ranging from the traditional debonair deep-disco sound to slo-mo beat-down business, deep-fused funk, with a dash of beautiful baleric sprinkles for good measure.

for over a decade the us west coast innovator has been producing and performing his unique brand of electronic dance music. he seasons the rhythms of house and techno with an array of outside musical influences - notably jazz and p-funk, a low-slung aesthetic clearly rooted in hip-hop, and a sonic approach akin to music concrete. the result is a fresh and expressive sound that varies from raw and percussive to deep and melodic and is favored by an ever-increasing number of listeners, dancers and djs around the world.

ever wondered what untold jamming with gang of four after a night at rage might sound like? of course you havent. neither have we. but it will give you some clue to the sound-clash he’s cooked up for the final part of his change in a dynamic environment trilogy. kane picks up a nagging post-punk baseline and drives it like marty mcfly through three decades of club music. while overdrive simmers with punk attitude before spitting right in the face of melody and exploding into a raucous, drums & bass jam.

very special release!!! no represses when working on something, many other things happen which have an appeal of their own but do not fit together with what you have in mind, or where you are heading. this series of recordings is about the unexpected, things opposed to the plan. it is a slice of life, a snapshot that divides before and after. the more conscious you are of moments like this, the more often you will experience that something special is happening right now, in this second. and then it is gone for ever… unless you buy it on vinyl... already played by karotte (cocoon / great stuff)

having both previously released on phuture shock musik, garage experimentalists roof light and lostlojic return to share the honours on a split single set for release on the bristol label. always one to maintain an eclectic approach in his work, surrey resident roof light returns to his forward-thinking best, offering up >pearl< - a sultry number, where jerky beats intertwine with fragmentations of female vox that saunter through swathes of synth pads, glitchy blips, and warm dubby bass. on the flip lostlojic continues the regular theme of passion in his music, bouncing back with >so much<, another r&b inflected dancefloor gem, incorporating a saccharine vocal hook over a bed of lush rhodes chords. soulful as ever, and riding a 4/4 rhythmn just beyond the familiar 140bpm region, this tune premieres a departure from the typically cold, brooding style that the ukraine based producer is known for, to something more suited for the warm summer nights.

122 bpm is the story of how a father and his son changed chicagos dance music scene in the 1980s and went on to take the world by storm, leaving an impression that will last forever with just a couple of 12 inch releases the world would soon know as house music. nemiah mitchell jr. and vince lawrence couldnt have known what their contribution to house music would become. their story provides the missing chicago link between soul, disco, new wave and then house, between the radio and club djs and their audience, between the old generation and the new generation. this is the story of the first house records ever made - long before trax or dj international were even dreamt of. the compilation includes numerous unreleased tracks and beyond hard to find house tracks made in chicago in the early to late eighties from the catalogues of mitchbal records and chicago connection records

jay bliss is our first ever romanian signing. there has been a influx of superb romanian producers over the last years including a:rpia:r and the trend continues with bliss and his hermanndstadt collective. developing a style sitting somewhere between house and techno, with strong detroit roots he has released for the likes of immigrant, hudd trax and diynamic. pluto has been a staple of ralph lawsons sets for a while now, its a smooth and crisp tech house roller that recalls classic 2020 releases gone by, especially those of carl finlows. on the flip weve turned to skudge to give us their own take on pluto. weve been fans of skudge since they dropped their first single, and have had us transfixed with their excursions into pure analogue, loopy, dub techno ever since. their version of pluto is a different beast to the original, all stuttering percussion and menacing strings, a perfect counterbalance to the original version

as an increasing number of the british producers turn to techno as a source of inspiration, the gritty sound of the uk underground is easily obscured by the polished veneer of continental 4/4 music.
having taken his time to emerge from the shadows, paleman has constructed a musical voice for himself which turns this conundrum on its head by reimagining the skeletal drums and gutteral growls of early dubstep and speed garage as a style of uk techno all of his own. for this youngster, berlin is more of a startpoint than a destination. at only 19, he joins the ever growing base of manchester-based techno producers as the first signing to fulcrum records, a new label started in south manchester by friends sam schorb (aka damu) and adam rogerson.

the wait is over. the outside agency and ophidian unite on the 20th genosha release to collectively blow minds, expand vocabularies and sow the seeds of confusion. we could describe the tracks to you, but that would spoil all the fun and/or disappointment. if you have ever asked yourself what would happen if these three got together and made a whole ep, then the answer to your question is available for you to purchase right here. boom.

calling on a roster of talent that includes the much vaunted luminaries tyree cooper, rick wade and his namesake wilhite, scott grooves, terrence parker and more you know that the vibes & pepper agency expanding operations to include a label means the standard of music will be high. number three in the fledgling wax initiative arrives with the man, the myth, the maverick that is norm talley at the helm for the three track bumper the westside project. talley fans will be all over this one for the chance to grab b side hugger >grove street shuffle< a track that originally featured on the producers uber rare 1997 release for city boy, and the two tracks that complement it find the beatdown brother in fine form. lead track >do what you like< deftly weaves in some expert voodoo ray sampleage amidst a permanently punchy groove whilst >greenfield groove< has talley in looser rhythmic mood, with busy percussion driving through a thick swamp of vocal pressure and ever twisting piano riffs

michigan resident d marc cantu serves up his next album on the ever-excellent mos recordings on june 11th 2012. though essentially a house and techno producer, american cantu often goes further than most, calling on a world of influences to ensure his jacking productions are as far away from standard as possible, yet still do damage on the right dancefloors as have previous eps on this label, nation and crème organization.

dynamic reflection is positively on fire at the moment. a high amount of quality releases is scheduled to be put out this year and with a few already lined up for 2013 the future looks brighter than ever!

limited edition of 500 copies on white vinyl.

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.
