next up on the docket - we slow things down ... just a touch .. and welcome in a cast of new players along with a familiar face for the next installment on the kolour mother-ship.

two new suprawax releases by eduardo de la calle. the four tracks on offer here bear testimony to de la calles search for the perfect loop. they are hypnotic grooves, almost entirely devoid of arrangement in a classical sense. but the tracks are not static. they suck you in by means of constant modulations, build free flowing structures of their own, hints of peaks emerging at the mercy of the low frequency oscillators cleverly set phase relationships. these tracks do not need the in-your-face kick drums and squashed dynamics of the brickwall generation. by leaving space, they work on a different level than solely sound pressure emanated. the simple, repetitive structure coupled with the unhasty development find their way into the dancer’s brain. moving your mind—your ass to follow suit. all records have been pressed in a run of 400 copies and come in inside-out natural cardboard sleeves. no represses are planned at present.

another slamming release from veteran producers jay lumen (saved / mistakes) and gary beck (soma/perc trax). on their own they are pretty amazing so imagine what they are like when their talents are combined. this drumcode bomb is an essential for any techno box, lets face it this one will do the damage!

jorge ciccioli shows up again on rrygular. with his new release >southern tool< the argentinian dives really deep into the minimal genre. by focussing on the most important elements he created three handy and driving dj tools. and although the tunes are already well arranged there is room to experiment while playing. the track >sinatsuma< comes with a nice signature phrase that might get stuck in your head. the whole b face is reserved for the remix by franco cinelli who turned the main track into a dubby techhouse tune of almost 10min. nice one.

inspired by the wise words: the moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness, all the burden on your heart disappears. - osho nansen: the point of departure chapter 8.
playfulness, sees the talented german duo in fine form, turning in a slice of skipping house that welds organic percussion to a heavily electronic groove that slowly unfurls into a warm, synth-led number that owes as much to chicago as it does to european micro-house. combining fat melodic sub bass grooves, alongside intelligent layers and synch patterns, creating the perfect dance floor journey for the music purist.

amazing! perlon likewise techhouse with mental afterhour grooves will make you loose your mind with the first ray of sun. toby deschamps aka jackbox delivers this debut ep for the brand new label no one cares. the first track be true lures you deep into the metaphysics of house music. larry is a shuffling monster sitting right next to your solarplexus, humming melodies of an endless summer. you definitely should check this out. the third track nobody cares is that subtle afterhour groove which carries you away. its that early morning track that puts a smile on your face if the sun throws her first rays of light on the dancefloor.

after the successful release of the expert escapist 12inch on diametric. in late 2010 and the inclusion of the track nanomal on last years music man mix cd by marcel dettmann, our purveyor of straight no nonsense techno mr. kevin m. kennedy returns with four new slices of dancefloor techno. if you like your techno edgy and direct in your face, this is the record for you. hailing from columbus, ohio, usa, kevin has already released on shake’s frictional label and on the detroit based xplor label (as sleep engineer) and others, and is a very welcome part of the diametric. family now. 300 handnumbered limited vinyl copies only. no digital distribution.

coloured vinyl bomb alert! hrdvsions prettier than that is a monster,created by a monster and is perfectly suited for the likes of wagon repair. dim the lights, because when this record drops its going to get freaky! on the flip side, midnight operator (the duo of mathew jonson and hrdvsion) bring the noise! dangerous behaviour rains bass in your face! if you caught their live show on boiler room recently then youll understand. these two are ready to take the dance floors by storm this year - a melding of the analog and digital minds.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

after 4 years and 14 digital releases, more or less is proud to present to you their inaugural vinyl release. the record is a fitting tribute to our fans, friends and the people who have helped support our sometimes illogical and irreverent musical endeavors. enjoy these previously unreleased tracks, and as one wise man with the red face once said … full support, will play.

for uzuri 018 we return to one of our home grown artists – jitterbug. time has flown since his last release for us in 2010, but we have been quite eager to get some new material out from him for a while – and, based on feedback we have had, plenty of other people are keen to hear more from him too. both his raw winter and beaten trax eps were pretty popular releases for us and his dj appearances always create a stir, so we are pleased to bring you this, the arcane theory ep. the track sequencing on this record is pretty aggressive – front-loaded with the confrontational rise of the machines. a track that really lives up to its title, sounding like the production line at cyberdyne systems… all stomp and evil synths, like a bad mood e-dancer. fallout couldnt be further from that – relaxed and making no attempt at all to get in your face. itll win you over, though. just a nice, deep groove and a lovely, phased beat. could play it for hours… the whole of the flip is devoted to nomads, a chiming, acidic wander. nearly eleven minutes in length. the kicks never at the fore on this one – most of the action occurs at the mid and high frequencies – a resonant 303, lots of hi hats and, later, synths which expand on the eastern-flavour of the track title

huge split ep from the label heads daniel steinberg & nils ohrmann.

matador is a dublin based dj,live performer and producer who has been releasing his own twisted but organic take on techno for the last four years. late last year came the huge kingswing ep on minus and now this spooks ep sees him step-up once again for a 5 track outing which balances his usual melody with a real techno drive. the title track opens proceedings with predatory, roughshod bass tone running underneath blippy melodies, snappy house influenced percussion and a dark male vocal where kenekt is all out sci-fi weirdness.spiralling space ships, undulating basslines and plenty of well-defined percussion all add up to a snaking track that really works its way under your skin.on the flip,b1 bambam is the most heads down and streamlined techno offering of them all before klay is the ep closer which manages to bend and drip little melodic droplets down the face of slinky hi-hats and deep,rolling basslines.

hot on the heels of volume 12 and with a familiar let s get lost face at the helm, volume 13 welcomes jacques renault aboard once more and he s jumped genres yet again! after the relentless house edits of his last lgl voyage this release sees him return to the familiar waters of synthesizer prodded orchestral disco for the first two tracks and a saxophone and choir led afrobeat gem to round things off
