after travelling through the far flung galaxy for 002 ... forgotten corner aka phil banks & nick mackrory come back to planet earth & keep everything in house for their third label release. side a is kind of a track of two halves written and produced by nick mackrory - consisting of a 2 minute samba driven vocal intro, full of live instrumentation and featuring the live vocals of harry collier, before breaking down in to a deep hypnotic slow motion arpeggiated electronic groove! side b takes things back down in to the dark basements ... amongst the smoke machines, strobes & cans of warm red stripe! where phil adds his touch ... losing the live intro and taking things on a much more deep electronic instrumental bass wobble work out! still keeping the arpeggiated moog but with tougher beats and a much dirtier feel.

following on from killawatts bring down the walls ep at the tail end of last year osiris music continues to expand their sonic boundaries as they move in 2014, with their first release of the year coming in the form of sleepers simulation theory ep. experimenting for the very first time with fm synthesis, the ep features seven tracks of thunderous production the majority of sounds for which sleeper drew from a mere four oscillators in a bid to recalibrate his production skills. the resulting record is far more than the sum of its component parts and, save for the skulking, static soaked tension of meth, moves with relentless force and purpose throughout.the simulation theory ep sees sleeper taking his already deft grasp of both dubstep and techno production and fusing them to a body of pummelling forward momentum perfectly suited to set osiris music off on what promises to be a bold and progressive year.

in recent times soul notes tilted a little towards more groove driven, distortion ladenmachine funk. snx001 is the missing release out of the snx series thus far. label head honcho kastil joins up with cologne based adryiano, who is quickly becoming one of the labels favorite household names. the signature snx sounds is developing into a dark psych-oriented club sound which this ep represents as never before. the opening track *snakes and holes* is pure percussive machinery with the heaviest overdriven kickdrums you will ever hear. on the a2, adryiano sets the mood with a low swinging bass and some eardrum deafening kicks which progresses into the b1 which is perced out to the max with some 303 bassline drama and distortion to top that off. for the b2 track, head honcho kastil shows off some lo-fi drum action on controversy.

affi is a glasgow based producer, dj and resident at the cult sunday circus, a collective infamous for throwing their long-lasting, day-after-the-night-before affairs. he regularly makes his presence felt at the most credible club nights and parties in and around the labels home town. as with the imprint he breaks ground for, koman has been making music for the last ten years with two previous releases already to his name. drawing inspiration from hawtins de9 - closer to the edit work with regard to the deconstruction of previous productions, the reassembling of intriguing new forms dominates his modus operandi and leads to this latest offering. the champagne breakfast ep puts forward the titular track on the a-side, ably abetted by in love and its dub remix love dub on the flip. an uplifting track which keeps on giving, the new release has already been subjected to test runs in the critical environs of a packed sub club and has proved worthy of the plaudits so far received.

the first release is always a big milestone for any label. in our case the first one (astrac ep) is also a long anticipated one, the title track waiting to be released for a long time. so far there is nothing ordinary about ztrls career as he had a big fan base without a single release or a dj gig. as a result of his ongoing inspiration by ricardo villalobos and encouragement from a:rpia:r s petre inspirescu among others he sharpened his producer skills which yielded astrac ep, another 2013 release on pluie/noir recordings compilation (pluie/noir year one) and an independent release on soul.on records titled >soul two< which was also remixed by the hungarian laurine frost. on top of his producer activity hes an avid record collector and a regular guest on uks rejam radio show, hes also done a podcast mix for the romanian nightclubber webzines unknown 500 series.

the third in the modular techno series from live analogue artist and freerotation organiser steevio. after 15 years of producing techno live on hardware, in 2009 steevio began building a dedicated machine on which he could totally improvise an entire techno performance from a blank canvas that far surpassed anything he could do with his previous setup of drum machines and synthesizers. steevio’s modular is 100 analogue, there is no computer involved, there are no memories to save sounds or sequencing patterns, and everything is improvised in real time.. volumes 1 and 2 of the series were just a taster of what was to come, and were the early experimentations on steevio’s newly built machine. steevio records everything he does, especially during the intense practice sessions for live gigs. all the music in the series are out-takes from these practice sessions, and the tracks from volume 3 and the forthcoming volume 4 all come from a three day period in practice for a recent live gig at delete, bournemouth, uk. volume 3 continues from where volume 2 left off but delivered with more confidence and a deeper more hypnotic feel. steevio continues to develop his skills and fine tunes his unique instrument in this dedicated for life project.

2015 repress! transparent vinyl. part 1 of 2.this latest ep on enemy maybe the most psychedelic and hypnotic release the label has released thus far. psychedelic hypnotism may sound like a bad acid rant from the >summer of love,< but this 2 part vinyl ep will prove you otherwise. the first vinyl focuses on the more abstract side of the dance floor, leading off with rrose and donato. perfect for the beginning of the evening or the early morning. the second vinyl is the more club-oriented accompaniment courtesy of jesper dahlback and grindvik & zahn.

its safe to say that 2013 has been the biggest year in gregor treshers career so far. remixing depeche mode & moby, releasing his 4th full length album and completing another tour around the globe spanning over more than 8 months, there is no stopping in sight for the man.

for the next release we have set the bpm slower, we offer you the 1st collaboration between jaw, gaffy & varoslav, all good friends for years. its a pleasure to deliver such a superb original track made of vintage warm analog sounds surrounded by the mystical vocals by jaw. and there was something interesting to say about the parts of the track... we have invited some friends and producers from totally different places but one they all have in common is their passion for the warm sound. edward (from white-aim) who just delivered some of the most beautiful tracks & remixes this year so far and the lovely new comers from netherlands: times are ruff who has as their name indicates has a very personal touch and ruff sound.

commodity place project is back with two masterful compositions wrapped in a special colorful ep. the duo composed by roman musicians massimiliano loretucci (computer and synths) and riccardo frosoni (guitar and percussions) has set two amazing tracks letting the mind and body to travel far away till the most unreachable and undefined horizons of psychedelic music. on side a, >multifrequency behaviour of high energy cosmic sources< develops an intense journey into a nebulous space dimension where a wide range of fluffy cosmic echoes are stratified and stretched to the infinity, while human perception is totally kidnapped by ancestral voice effects. straight to the unknown ambient paradise. the endless 12 minutes of >ahura mazda< fill entirely the b side. a melodic start up loop on a mild 4/4 downtempo pace prepares the well coming of an outstanding solo guitar excursion with some psy-synths on background for a piece of music that we can literally define as an extraordinary psychedelic / krautrock symphony. so, now you are in. but remember: over the mystic mountains another earth could be found.

apartment kickstarts 2014 with a various artists compilation focusing on irish talent from all across the isle. following on from their collaboration as bande apartment in 2013, tr one and new jackson once again appear together on apartment. this time around new jackson remixes tr ones bruising techno beast >viceroy-9c< (the original of which appeared on the last apartment release, a split 12 with phantom planet outlaws), turning it into an emotive, acid-laced breakbeat gem. house duo slowburn, coming off a year that included appearances on lunar disko, appian sounds and grounded in humanity deliver the off-kilter and immersive >riders of the sea<. hints of the work of artists such as drexciya and kassem mosse are combined with their own unique stylings to create an intoxicating, tripped out journey to the deepest recesses of the dancefloor.the cyclist garnered huge praise last year with his >bones in motion< lp on leaving records/stones throw and apartment is excited to deliver his first original material since then. his individual brand of over-driven electronics – >tape throb< – combines distortion with the most delicate of inflections and >crax< surmises this approach perfectly, an uncommonly euphoric slice of wounded electronica. last but by no means least is the superior inferior. after his debut release on belfast’s one electronica label went so far as to be licensed by sven vath to his sound of the 14th season compilation, he returns with the throbbing, rapturous >a bit much confusion<. wave and electro influences carry this bass heavy number towards it’s crescendo of skyscraping synths and skewered monopoly madness.

following suit where his 2xlp left off gunnar haslam presents a new ep for l.i.e.s. once again we see haslam find a nice balance between combining samples and hardware in his productions creating moving and atmospheric tracks, which range from slow stripped down soundtrack style cuts to more developed far out techno. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy.

new label launch from the super talented mystery man s.a.m. previously known for his releases on fathers & sons productions and subwax bcn. 3 tracks of pure quality, limited one off pressing and vinyl only. 1 copy per customer

hot on the heels of bmm 002 comes the latest instalment of the birdsmakingmachine series – bmm 003 – a package combining their signature sine-bass laden grooves, steel drums and oblique melodies. >antonios swing<, as the title indicates, literally swings listeners into its rhythm with dark vocal snippets layered onto soft stabs and eerie melodies. >woodpeckers<, on the a2, takes a more linear approach, an effective dj-friendly tool that will please dancefloors in the late hours of the night/early hours of the morning. on the flip, in >silk road< we find a captivating, yet mysteriously funky minimal house affair that builds and builds until finally erupting following the break. the ep is rounded-off with >dead lines<, a broken themed galloping of bass kicks fused into moody melodies and reverberated far cries, resembling a genuine excavation into the depths of house music – another example that the birds are always trying to redefine the genres boundaries.

first vinyl pressing limited to 500 copies on white vinyl, including download coupon.
ricardo tobar is releasing his long awaited debut album treillis on established french label desire (ike yard, monoton, live skull, keluar, deathday, egyptology, etc). inspired by mysticism & noise, ricardo uses old drum machines, analog equipment and also samples he has been storing since some years to create dirty sounding drums, modulated synth sounds and keeping far away from the more expected and polished sounds most artists are using.

raw and moody house music. house music far away from clean, proggy or bling bling grooves. that’s what we all have in mind if we speak about simon ferdinand. after a little break simon is back on night drive music with another stunning ep. 180 gramm vinyl. shrinked.

there are certain moments and event that can redefine a nation and a culture. the 1987 1988 acid house explosion was such a moment in our time that it did capture a nation and a forged a new era in modern music. acid was such a taboo in the late 80s in the uk that law officials thought that the music insight mass use of acid and everyone would space out, and that was far from the truth. but what is true that some guys from chicago created a sound that the world einbraced and continues to embrace to this day.

file under disco have steadily been building a seriously strong back catalogue of 100% original disco music. so far this has taken shape through digital eps of original material by artists like drop out orchestra and jkriv & the disco machine, plus a series of big hitting vinyl remix releases from acts like the idjut boys, ron basejam, dicky trisco, pete herbert and duff disco amongst others.

a demo tape, sent to capitol records by the trash company in the early 90s, garnered this curt response from then president of the r&b division, joy bailey: some music was never meant to be heard. thug records returns with one of the most intriguing releases to grace the catalogue so far. not restricted by any one scene, max monroe of the trash company produces a hypnotic medley of original hard edge rhythm & blues, soul dance and classic psychedelic punk wave textures. armed with a condition known as synesthesia meaning he perceives sounds, words and letters in terms of color and a 4 track cassette recorder, the trash company has spent the last 30 years as a bedroom recording genius.

ltd 2015 repress!!!
finally we close the ep with woman, a track thats probably about as close as the ds boys get to a smooching torch song. lush pads and strings bring a deeper vibe to proceedings but the female spoken word samples keep the energy high and ensure things never stray too far from the floor.

ma spaventi, a roman, now based in amsterdam, has been around for a minute, his trio r-a-g (with aroy dee and gijs poortman, a.k.a. gstring) has been recording refined, classicist house and techno on an all-analog kit since 2010. marked by tough drums, swirling pads, and a willingness to veer into pure, beatless ambient territory, their records are formally purist without scrimping on a sense of mystery. spaventis solo work so far has suggested that he may be the tough guy of the bunch.

in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.

it has been four long years since noahs last album, blind alignments, was released here on thoughtless, and much has happened since: extensive tour dates, numerous singles and collaborations, a lingering break-up, a move across the atlantic, 80 releases here on preds thoughtless imprint, tests of new music technology, and the sudden death of his father, all this and more transpired as his latest full-length effort, third culture, took shape. traversing these highs and lows, the result breaks new ground for pred, building on the dub-inflected techno and house that fills his discography, yet reaching far beyond anything we have heard from him before.

new label back to the balearics follow up the superb maricopa ep with a stunner from berlin based live music collective spleen. part one in their musical odyssey *fusionary* consists of live jams and instrumentation over computer-based syncopation, their music has a strange yet organic flow to it, which is both hypnotic and rhythmic. think kraut influenced, psychedelic dub funk with a touch of alt pop and you will be on the right road, but still miles away. music is better than words ... spleen prove that. limited edition vinyl with beautiful printed sleeves.

while waiting for the new jonsson & alter album 2, the duo releases their best 12-inch so far. we say welcome back to a matured duo, whose poetic take on house music hits harder than ever.

if chicago and detroit are the cities in which house and techno were born and raised, it was in italy circa 1990 that this delirious party music experienced a piano-driven coming of age. so far, so spangled. but while that may be the official story, there are other italian narratives too. take francois le roy and nanni for instance - two djs and producers from southern italy for whom, in the early nineties, the likes of aphex twin, autechre and air liquide were important, alongside the machine funk of detroit and the immersive soundtracks of the ambient generation. both artists are steeped in underground club music, and their new release on shabby doll records is a fine example of tough, tech-edged house. the *crossing roads* ep features four tracks that showcase their melodic yet relentless groove, they may be based in milan, but on this record, the influence of detroit, chicago and new york runs deep.

its been a while since weve heard a jam as bruising as nonsense. titles in techno often dont tell you much, and wed go as far as to say this badboy is really more no-nonsense.
