chasing voices returns for its 4th installment with an audacious reiteration of the projects uncompromising ethos and technique. >valley of the dry bones< operates on the peripheries of club music and far-sighted rock mutation, death march-disco for the ever-present sunburn of daily scourges and musical apathy. prospering from plentiful sentimentally-tinged stabs and a breathtaking, slow-churning progressive disintegration, >valley of the dry bones< hits intuitively and suddenly, a bent and bruised anthem for problematic times. despair can be celebrated, and celebration can be despairing—if anything the nyc collectives latest bomb seems to stem from a need to revive the cannibalism of a movement that has grown weary of its own cliches, to dissect itself and hopefully come out the other end better and new?? albeit scarred and never quite the same.

were you able to touch them – to render them tangible and actually trace the rhythms in yachts i walked alone – the lines would form steep hills and sudden cliffs that rise and drop off, again and again, at steep, sharp angles. the wiry funk and itchy bass move like a controlled spasm, convulsive and itchy, until the breakdown, when the nervous tension gets released in a series of cowbell clunks and a guitar solo that leaks out like a slow moving electric current. on this vinyl only collection of remixes, parisian duo get a room!, aka rove dogs and jeff masson, massage out the herk and jerk, making for a more relaxed and aurally warm take. the sound of things is far housier here – and more pop, in the very best way – owing to synths where there previously were none and angles newly bent and refashioned into smooth, circling cycles of disco-infused sound. and theres more from jacques renault, who contributes a remix both with and without vocals. the new york city dance music stalwart takes his time building to a plateau of perfectly paced beats and a wall of recurring dream(y) house rhythms. feels like music that fills the room, takes over your senses, and wraps you in its effervescence. - kali holloway

the young, newly founded label lofile proudly presents its first ep wowmom brothers & sisters. wowmom is a collective of three djs and producers that focus on deep house but are influenced by a far wider range of music - with shapes and strings of detroit techno to chicago house. together, off. exile, simon busse and marbod got four beautiful minimalistic tracks recorded on vinyl with remixes by johannes albert, mod. civil and boytalk. dark, but clearly minimalistic, pearling and with a profound deepness, lfr 001 is like a small detail of a picture. you can dream the rest around it and imagine what will follow.

in heaven s hail, father s fog, son s storm, spirit s sun at posted stance, standing post in holy blazer, stained jeans, woeful boater amongst the crows, in the image of man anybody better than nobody aubery telemachus, son of odysseus and penelope, whose name in greek means far from battle , which perhaps reflects his peaceful nature and hermitic lifestyle.

one year ago digitaline has released raouls very first release. it has been one of their most successful eps so far and both tracks instantly found their audience and brought raoul onto the main floors of the entire world, where it still stands confortably one year later. so what better than to celebrate one year of the label and welcome digitaline back home? same format: two tracks of deep techno, fat grooves and aerial melodies made for the dance floor. almost made on the dance floor. true! digitaline’s sound is always very inspired by their live performances and with those two tracks the boys wonderfully managed to transpose the best of their live skills, energy and dynamic. before finally being released here, both tracks have been played live on many floors throughout 2011, adjusted slowly set after set to touch every soul listening. a-side neon is a massive groove infecting the entire track through long breaks, while synth strings generate waves of tension in the piece. b-side comet is build around a big round bassline and concret noises that give the track its organic motion. the melodies of the track seem to come out of a fairy tale, dreamy arpeggios that defy the laws of gravity.

tough new moves from newcomer boner m on the much loved dont outletalso features sought after subhead track on vinyl for the 1st time techno as it was in the 90s and early 2000s is hard to come across these days.gone are the killer intense riffs and hard beats that did the damage on dance floors the world over.well as usual,sidestepping the current fashions and delivering nothing but great quality off the wall techno music,dont recordings returns to smack the ball right out of the park with a brand new heavy techno 2 tracker cut extra loud for your pleasure.maverick techno legend subhead steps up and delivers intense rave-o-gedden of epic proportions. this ones been doing serious damage via cd and via the with vocals version on tunebox records for the last 2 years and has been the most asked about track of both subhead and label boss jerome hills sets during this time, with constant requests from djs to make it available.on the b-side dont brings you the debut release from a formidable new talent boner m whose track zoidar melds hard techno and disco together with distinct ease, but the results are far from what youd expect of these two genres colliding.less daft punk and more in your face overloaded bass funk. look out for more from this guy in the future.support techno before it becomes extinct!

rounding off what has been a busy year for idle hands comes a 12 inch from west country residents outboxx. this duo, comprised of jacob martin (aka hodge) and matthew lambert have steadily built a reputation for themselves with releases on well rounded and immerse. moving away from the dominant trends in bass music the pair have been forging a sound more akin to early nineties deep house - yet retaining a palette of 2011 sounds. here they present two tracks - >aporia< is a lesson in wistful house, all pianos and a sneeky bass drop half way through the tune. >cromwell< is a straight ahead house roller, but with enough sub to keep the bass enthusiasts happy. support so far from ramadanman and sven weiseman.

after the success of the nothing special events a label of the same name begins. the events so far have been held at fabric of course and new york. the concept is simply that craig plays all night around live acts. previous guests have been pole, deadbeat, moritz von oswald trio, emperor machine, convextion, dopplereffekt. 2652, shackleton and conforce. the depth of craigs musical knowledge as a dj provides a sense of structure to the parties. the nothing special in weekly radio show format commences imminently. first release is by radionasty - the combined force of billy nasty and keith tenniswood.

the first phase in the breath-taking new musical project from hadamard, who of course we know from earlier projects via bunker, transient force, mighty robot and more recently featuring on compilations via our friends at solar one music. as we enter hadamards universe of the jupiter cycle, we hear a synthesis of straight-up electro coalesce with spellbinding ambient and experimental futurism, to create an overall bladerunner-esque environment. from the offset of our journey, approach,dramatically defining the musical landscape with its soundtrack-like and impending atmospherics,entry point,a stealthy, sneering electro fiend expect no mercy here magnetodisk is unpretentious, energized electro, providing a slightly more upbeat pause between the more serious overtones of offerings from ion electro straight from the core of jupiters volcanic moon whilst outpost jupiter and transition to chaos are most definitely someplace far, far in the future, as this piece can only leave the listener possessing a sense of introspection regarding the technological evolution of our generation. a stunning variety of styles on this limited edition vinyl project for last known trajectory.special limited edition pack includes the first in a series of collectable posters.

dont, whatever you do, dismiss this as a run of the mill re-edit re-hash of some of the gibb brothers finest work. far from someone with a laptop chopping and changing classics as they see fit, this ep casts the original studio multi tracks of three disco standards from saturday night fever into the capable hands of the hands of time family and what theyve come up with is head turning,double take inducing, dance floor weaponry of the highest order.filippo moscatello, aka dj naughty, is first up with his dreamy extended version of night fever. stayin alive gets dubbed to within an inch of its life and comes up smiling courtesy of hot mainstay kon and his mr whiskey dub treatment and last but not least the reflex get the pleasure of working with the classic horn and conga riff off that is you should be dancing.top drawer,high-grade fodder for the forthcoming christmas party season and a sure fire winner for the wedding disco dj alter ego that resides within all of us.

nice price deal !!! the third, somewhat overdue, installment of andy blakes cave paintings series finally sees the light of day. all the cave paintings releases are one-take analogue excursions constructed by machines and recorded live in new cross gate and mastered for vinyl in hackney.3x is a close cousin of 2y.a simple but dramatically effective warmly buzzing bassline is clambered all over by layers of interlocking pure analogue percussion.machine funk meets the locking crew for a warehouse showdown.3y heads into thus far uncharted territory. an evil, growling lfo driven bass underpins militaristic percussion thats slammed hard into ancient spring reverbs and accompanied by the sound of synthesisers being choked to death. heads down strobe-lit dancefloor action.

top compilation with tracks and remixes from maya jane coles, huxleys, huxleys, milton jackson…

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everything that sounds fine to their ears! for our 25th release, we are back again with simoncino for the warrior dance iii, this brand new ep will feature on a side the wonderfull >warriors dance< (chicagos jackin heaven is not so far we guess), >tropical vibe< that has got this kind of disco feeling without sounding (thx god) nu-disco & to end >hey detroit< that speaks for itself. on the b side, we have the very big honor to get 2 extraordinary remixes, one from the legendary ron trent (more than 10 min long!) & another atmospheric & deep as hell one from chez damiers morning after mix part ii. this is the kind of release that will remind you what house music is all about. useless to say that simoncino is on top right now & is writing some future & cult club classics. a must to have in every djs collection

desolats happy to present the third edition of our yearly christmas sampler, and probably the best so far: a bumper tribute to a year of fine music

the second part of the >diorama< remixes offers again some of the finest producers around.
starting with kollektiv turmstrasse! what kicks off as a chez damier groove makes the transition into a loose dub monster. collecting traces of the original sound and dispersing them with magic movements we see why kollektiv turmstrasse are a top act. shifting the attention from the front to the far back from the obvious to the abstract... turmstrasse create that parallel groove on top of the groove which seems to tighten up with every minute. fine particles of sounds are sprayed onto the relentless groove and make it a real crowd pleaser.

b.d.i. brings two far out techno tracks on this new rush hour release. industrial in a good way... this is going to send a certain club in berlin upside down! tip!the long awaited return of b.d.i. is finally here. he returns with two unique tracks.

the producer behind these mind-blowing slabs of heavyweight disco-funk perfection was one jp source, an exile from the geordie ibiza (that will be blackpool) and geordie mecca (erm, newcastle) now living out in the sticks in the states, far from home. the eps title, >get your bearings<, is reference to his struggles to come to terms with his new surroundings.
three tracks, all tried and tested, all disco dynamite. since he sent us these killer edits, jp source has begun to pick up interest elsewhere. he recently released an excellent ep of original material on audio parallax and has material forthcoming on edit, zzr and art star records. we reckon he has got a big future. all the more reason to >get your bearings< and dive into his bedmo disco debut…

after great success with the 1st 12and the ostertag lp rrose returns to show us how its done ! comes in printed in and out sandwell sleeve. following the storming recent debut of rrose live at berghain, sandwell presents the most floor-friendly release so far from the new artist – essential !

we cant tell how far we have arrived until we can see how far we have really traveled.

somewhere over western europe, an un-identified falling object crashed landed causing a massive bang, and a ginormous banana shaped smoke cloud. frederic, a local artistic young chap was so inspired by this hilariously funny giant cloud that covered the whole sky as far as he could see, he ran indoors to take cover, and wrote a little summer step d&b beat, called >laughing at clouds< – which seemed to draw a lot of attention. out of the studio window, frederic could see what seemed to be a pink giraffe giving it some serious head-nodding action. by the second drop leonard (the pink giraffe) was dancing so heavily that he caused a small tremor somewhere over in the states, where young up & coming producer melo seemed to pick up the transmission. while in his sonic laboratory he managed to transfer his latest project (affirmation) through the current, where frederic decided to make his first remix project, which pretty much made leonard pass out after all the summer stepping….

limited kanzleramt classics !!

amplified is back with the excellent disco in distress, as always highly limited first pressing so dont sleep on this one! this release is displaying some of the finest deep disco and house around. the first track on this ep >yellow< is nothing but wondrous house with amplified premiering producer lay-far from moscow, russia. lump (also known as arttu) comes with the excellent disco stomper >down with you<. on the flip you find sygaire and co. debuting on amplified as muddeg. their >luv no guarantee< is a stunning vocal house bomb. last but not least disco tweaker extraordinaire nicholas comes with the amazing slow disco burner >wind city<.

galaktika prepares their first vinyl of the year with the hand of garnica, paulo olarte and maurice aymard teaming up with mr hot guy maceo plex. the small compilation is meant to be for those floor killer sessions and those layback down mixes a mixture between deep house and techno. why not give it a try in vinyl if we believe this are one the best original tracks the labels heads have made so far and with the support of one of hottest name in the scene. so take advantage of this exclusive 200 copies.

despite the post-industrial label often affixed to factory floor, there is a greater complexity of sound within the bands music that defies such facile descriptions. yes, there are rigid, fixed beats, and other sounds from the manufacturing plant, as suggested by the trios moniker. but there is also an underlying danceability that belies the seeming austerity of the sound, a hint at warmth that cuts through the permafrozen exterior. that curious balance has paid endless dividends thus far: they have been remixed by producer gavin russom, liars angus andrew and no ages dean allen, remixed and released by optimo, remixed and collaborated live with throbbing gristle legend chris carter, and remixed and produced (!) by joy division and new orders stephen morris. its been a whirlwind few years in terms of musical accolades, and factory floors dfa debut is a glimpse into why.

and there is life on the moon! richard von der schulenburg aka rvds brings with > moon oddity< the soundtrack of weekends journey outer space with real house music on laid records 2011. the result of playing his synths and drumcomputers virtuosic like no other is the most eccentric twelve-inch on dial records sublabel so far. dancemusic can be so quirky, wacky, jacky - far out deep inside

bristols local hero kowton contributes to teals fourth release - the slowly grooving house gem that is dirty little bomb slowly evolves through cold, industrial soundscapes yielding one of the more introvert yet danceable tracks seen on teal so far. the mysterious player rivet reworks kowtons gem on the flipside - cranking up the tempo, layering lush synth hits and shifty groove - power moves!
early support from: midland, shifted, blawan, pariah, xi, dj donga, wncl ...

music man records is proud to present the long awaited second mix-cd from marcel dettmann, resident at the notorious berghain club in berlin since even before it was called like that, and one of the key artists on their label ostgut ton. marcel dettmanns previous mix-cd was named best mix-cd of 2008 by resident advisor. last year he released his debut album dettmann to high critical acclaim. in the meantime he is also building the profile of his own label mdr, and of course he stays one of the most in demand remixers around.
the tracklist of conducted includes again a mixture of new to be discovered talents, old to be re-discovered gems, and a few usual suspects, such as sandwell district, redshape or shed. conducted is a timeless mix from one of the most important players in todays techno scene.
this is the first of two vinyl samplers, including tracks by bluemoon productions (1990!), morphosis, signal & fbk.

following his dream ep release last year that featured an amazing j.t.c. remix, juanpablo drops us this time another especial production called mother mountain ep that shows clearly how hard he is pushing to create his own beat. last year his song dream was reviewed by some specialized media as hard to describe but easy to love and we think that the mother mountain track on this record will get a similar description. sea people is the second track and for this song juanpablo has invited spanish producer vinz vincenzo to collaborate with him in the production. this artist has been around for a long time and has made a lot of music in many different types that are far away from electronic genres which gives a plus to the end result of this production. and lastly, we have a remix of mother mountain by the mythic spanish producer arcanoid who has released on labels such as tesla, semantica, etc. his remix is pure techno, very hypnotic, dark and mental but always with his personal touch. probably the most club oriented tune on this record.

emanating from japan, and discovered by erid d (of rub n tug fame), these re-edit masterclasses would never have gotten outside of their native market. luckily a helping hand from one of nycs most hyped party throwers has guaranteed a wider audience!
all the combis so far have sold out in a matter of days and are now exchanging hands for silly money. this release has another glorious duo of obscure but super high quality dancefloor friendly edits.

coloured vinyl! in philpot history we had many prolific producers dropping their best tracks by far. we keep it like that!! so heres our second 12inch by highly acclaimed arttu delivering the goods on two slammin gangsta tracks! timeless jackshit to open your mind (…like the artwork suggests). thanks for purchasing a real copy!

its a love story: stil vor talent have long been mad about niconé and sascha braemer so that the recent past has seen some very memorable releases by the two producers. now its about time they join forces to release a whole album together, of which the first set of two vinyl packages is taken. known for their often very musical techno and house productions, >romantic thrills part 1< encapsulates this style while adding an extra element of sex and pop appeal, without straying too far from the dancefloor. >pianotic<, >runaway< and >caje< are three prime examples of how to incorporate piano, trumpet or guitar melodies organically into electronic music without sounding artificial

laurent werys clubhit >hey hey hey< has been around for over a year in clubs all over the world. the track gets a refix with the appealing vocals of dev (known from the hit >like a g6< by far east movement).

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

following the much talked about and played out ones on japanese endless flight, australian future classic, german best works, british crosstownrebels, and otherworldly philomena - a string of tracks and releases of 2011 supported by Âme, dixon, damian lazarus, andre lodemann, soul clap, sasha, joakim and far too many others to mention, here comes a four track ep of interplanetary body music of mario & vidis. it’s vilnius house

while yacht refers to >dystopia (the earth is on fire)< as a post-apocalyptic fight song and a cautionary tale, the tracks chant-along melodies and unsparing synths nudge listeners far closer to dance than despair. from the sound of things, that reaction will likely also be elicited by two new remixes of the portland duos song, from their 2011 long player shangri-la. legendary production duo justin strauss and bryan mette, aka whatever/whatever, completely rework the sound of >dystopia< on their version, reorienting it with heavy doses of funk. while the original rides atop buzzing synths, the whatever/whatever remix adds a thick bassline and shimmery keyboards that leap out like solar flares. on the flipside, uk-based emperor machine starts their dystopia remix with a dubby feel – every vocal echoing endlessly – and then u-turns into wholly a updated, yet classic, disco sound. the rhythms are sultry, slinking behind a deep, repeated, synthline, its a recipe for an unexpectedly smooth, subtly hypnotic, and utterly danceworthy song.

on this vinyl co-founder of net-label chevengur melody sol collected the best works of talented residents of the label living in far away cities and towns of eastern part of europe. you wont ever get such a compilation from famous labels or producers. here you can listen to underground sound of telegraph (promising minsk duo), groovy tunes of east soul person (disco birds) and experimental-dance music of uncle deep (ethereal sound, appetit, denkbar). a record for the dance-floor and a pleasant home listening.

the third release from färden records from stockholm, sweden. pure quality techno as usual. this time featuring julien h mulder who takes us out on a trip in far away territories. this is some real dope stuff!
