the organ grinder mints his new record label with a bulked up reissue of a gem from his back catalogue that will make djs - and dancers - very happy. far from throwaway, this is music rooted in the 90s us garage sound of kerri chandler, masters at work and early todd edwards, with the intensity of true deep house and the light rhythmic touch of ukg. obsession originally came out almost 5 years ago, but there s simplicity in its skittering rhythm and a mantra of rising minor-note synth hits that keep it burning into the dancefloor. x rated hits like its inverted counterpart, with a more heavily weighted drum groove and garage stabs that spiral down your spine. physicality finishes the ep with cunningly-sampled soul music, sung notes of passion belted out over a tense background of keys and rhodes chords, weaving an atmosphere that only comes out of expertly woven harmony

inoue shirabe is no newcomer for those who have been following antinotes releases last year. with function spring / gravitation of acidtree, his third release on the parisian imprint, the okayamas producer delivers what may be his two most sophisticated tracks so far. with function spring, inoue shirabe continues to investigate the subtle equilibrium between opposite feelings of sadness and joy that he successfully reached on down into the black church, on his previous 12inch. this time, the japanese producer uses celestial elements (bells, an organ in the distance that we can hear punctually) to counterbalance the roughness of the rhythmical section, in order to plunge the listener into a profound state of meditation.

who is the mysterious ketsueki sakuru? a lone warrior from the far east or an already established artist working under another name? we here at giallo disco cannot be sure, but are confident in their ability to detonate dancefloors and provide the correct ambience for walkman-missions everywhere. sounding as if muslimgauze was a confirmed new-beat devotee or if unit black flight was from dubai by way of tokyo and specialized in videogame soundtracks. the blood meridian ep is music for desert wastelands and murderjunkies.

the estonian master of dubstep and techno margus löve, who has operated so far under the monikers l-ow and 1derl&, has changed his creative direction into curvier areas and is presenting his fresh act exit safe mode as a proof. cool and ghastly darkness is still hoofing at your heels and ominous concrete thunder brings the skeletal techno to a new fertile ground. seeming coldness is concealing a hot-blooded pulse and a stealthily transporting psychedely. a dangerously alluring adventure has begun and it s calling for an exit from the numbing comfort zone.

who would have ever thought? the g man found himself a protege. after the odd 50+ solo releases offered through his phoenix g imprint mr.g has found himself a young producer that has a style that connects with the phoenix g output thus far. with g opening his bag of tricks to him, this cant go wrong. mysterious jayson wynters offers a 4 track record that is hazy, technoid and threads into deep territories every now and then.

this may be james hunters fourth album, but it is his first on daptone. produced by daptones own bosco mann (gabriel roth) at penrose recorders (daptone west) near his home in riverside, ca, hold on! is a perfect por trait of an ar tist at the top of his game. james hunter has been on the scene for enough years to acquire plenty of feathers in his cap. billboard charts, grammy nominations, and van morrison collaborations aside, he has earned an international reputation as a rhythm and blues troubadour for his command of the microphone both on stage and in studio. this album, however, is something far deeper than just another notch in his belt. it is truly an ar tists vision come to fruition. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

hot on the heels of his brilliant superfoods trilogy of albums on bbe, australian production powerhouse inkswel returns with a brand new solo effort entitled unity 4 utopia . stellar collaborators steve spacek, recloose, crazy p, lay-far, kid sublime, mark de clive-lowe & colonel red all make an appearance help to make inkswel s quest for musical utopia a reality, and the album certainly does not disappoint. as the man himself puts it: -we need to work together if we want happiness and furthermore if we want positive change- this is mirrored in music, collaboration being key-. echoes of early hip hop, 80 s boogie, disco and house can all clearly be heard, all woven together by inkwel s uniquely soulful, futuristic yet vintage production style. drawn together by an abundantly positive feeling, vocal performances and beats are all faultlessly smooth and highly polished, but somehow the album retains a real sense of fun. already touring tirelessly, unity 4 utopia could well be the project which elevates mr inkswel from an underground phenomenon into a household name.

duckcomb aka patrick billiard is one half of brooklyn s sharegroove. a longtime brooklyn dj and digger, duckcomb drops two edits from the far corners of the disco stratosphere. bonnevie is a hands-in-the-air dancefloorgroover with sexy female vocals, funky bongos, synth melodies, and a heartbreaking keyboard solo. every night hits us right where it hurts with soft rock for hard times written all over it. male lead and female backup vocals, night drive guitar solos, and a drummer with a heart of gold, every night is just begging to be sampled, like kurt hauenstein or jim capaldi hid a secret mega tune in some private press tax scam record, knowing patrick would eventually come along and take care of the rest.

ebm & synth-wave derived goth-techno banger

following the debut ep from label owners julien sandre and konstress, blind box comes back with the second release, signed by utrecht-based hot young producer julian alexander. established member of the infamous slapfunk crew, this bad boy caught the attention of the biz with his powerful old school flavoured minimalism, by the likes of people like brawther and tristan da cunha who packed a whole ep for their dungeon meat. when julian meets blind box, his deepest side shows up. two stunning bass heavy journey and a full analogue locked groove on b3 to define the entrancing vibes you ll find out of the box. on the a2 track we got remix courtesy of one of the finest producers of the underground scene, samuel andre madsen aka s. a. m.

whilst its neighbour has always taken the plaudits on the party front the steely city of sheffield has its own house history, with much of it residing in the warm buzzing darkness of the studio. its here that we find our latest robsoul rookie. a fresh name for the label, but a producer who is far from new to the game. tommy vicari jnr’s first release was pressed to the black gold and released back in 2004. since then there have been sporadic outings, but the last two years have seen a reinvigorated tommy roll out over ten new releases and play a huge part in putting sheffield s house music firmly back on the map. threshold of eternity sees tommy drop the northern grit to replace it with shimmering warmth and sunshine vibes across all four tracks. fidgeting rhythms, chopped samples and groove-heavy beats and bass are spliced together to create an essential feel-good release.

2x 180 gram vinyl with download code. thesoundyouneed vol. 2 wraps up the brands multi-genre explorations thus far and lives up to its name with forward-thinking groove clarity.

yse saint laur ant has spent far too long writing and releasing music in one guise or another to endure writing clever promo/impress releases. instead, vinyl only wants to let the music speak for itself keep it simple if you dont like it today then thats cool, we get we cant please all the people, all of the time. however if don t buy from juno today please dont whine to us when you ll be forced to spend the better part of double/treble the price for this very same release on discogs in a few years time

ruhig comes back after one year with particles ep as first installment of a double ep on midgar. the record opens with particles, an atmospheric detroit influenced cut made out of synthlines dropping like voodoo spells, epic pads and fragmented beats. eddying follows up with a more direct approach to the dancefloor, 4/4 stomping beat and thin hi-hats backed by lasers and passionate ambiances. etere on the b-side gives the records an halfway breath, sounds like a late afternoon walk in the fields of a southern countryside village (with constructions going on somewhere nearby), before to start again with the sweet and eerie perle, where droney pinching drums are flooded by a swarm of dreamy fireflies. idiom to close the ep with a fast syncopated cut, showing the approach of ruhig to any form of musical expression and genre, far from traditional ambient or deep techno and going further, to reach out daring and more demanding levels.

the highly anticipated follow up to his 2015 debut ep, arc, kamera returns to continue his journey on phantasy with four diverse new tracks that serve to expand his visionary take on modern electronica. conceived during a series of gruelling training sessions while cycling mont ventoux, the internationally infamous french mountain otherwise known as ‘the beast of provence, ventoux captures kameras vision in its most intriguing and singular form so far.

resopal-schallware records, known for its persistent pursuit of quality jams, unleashes the playa ep by santo domingo resident ernesto paredano. he’s an artist in the truest sense of the word who creates his own sound, his own expansive dynamic at the same time- the a-side contains the track yuca which features a surge of delayed bass lines and crispy static rises from below and echoes swoop and simmer. the 4/4 structure is infused with far-off blips and the dusty sizzles of low-pitched vocals. on „atea- warm tech keeps the sound organic while the other elements pull together around its weight before culminating. the three tracks on the playa ep could be classified as deep techno, but with enough power, groove and melody to set afire the dancefloor.

fresh goods from vc-118a. known as one of the deepest electronic producers out there, samuel has released under different monikers as mohlao, multicast dynamics and inward content (together with delta funktionen). here he presents a 6 track conceptual ep about ancient aviation machinery operated throughout turbulent times. but don t be mislead, this might be conceptualized in historical events, the music is far from a blast from the past. this is some pure futuristic hi-tech-electro from the north of the netherlands! for fans of warp and all other adventurous dj s out there...

hnny is mostly known (so far) for his amazing house take on mariah careys >i want to know what love is< which was released on fellow stockholm label studio barnhus last year. for his debut on local talk he has pulled together three house gems that showcase a remarkable diversity in production quality. repressed

as far as defying conventions goes, frits is on a whole new level of realness. with his new label bobby donny, hes putting out leftfield electronic music with a big f.y. attitude and hes not too shy to tell you why the current state of the house scene is so utterly boring to him.

brilliant tv and movie themes by francois de roubaix!!! on 20 november 1975 francois de roubaix disappeared while diving. before going towards this tragic death, francois had received an order for a television series theme tune commissaire moulin. as usual, the composed melody has been indelibly printed in the collective memory. francois de roubaix always put his fingers where it should be! between electronic tricks and acoustic works, this record brings the themes of this television series together with other musics composed for never released or still unknown projects... all unpublished music, never pressed on vinyl! it soon becomes clear that francois de roubaix feels confortable with this kind of exercises. the result is every time sublime. recommended!!

cromby is an exciting addition to the london house music scene: originally hailing from belfast he has made camp in the british capital and brought his mpc 2000 xl with him. the young man who has grown up listening to chez damier and moodymann makes use of the japanese sampler from akai in a highly fresh and creative way combining raw drums with sweet and melancholic pads and chords. on his * planets and parks ep* cromby displays a very nice balance between a traditional deep house understanding and a forward thinking attitude and is thus just perfect for tenderparks’s idea of musicality. as far as the artwork of the record is concerned the beautiful black and white image is the last part of tenderparks current series concieved by art director till sperrle and photographer magdalena bichler. and as you ve come to expect from tenderpark all tracks have been mastered and cut by helmut erler at dubplates & mastering once more.

argentinian producer, live act and tech whizkid alexis cabrera is back with a brand new release, a slice of stepping house, laced with minimal aesthetics on fun records, the recently christened label that he set up with fellow argentinian barem. the label emblem may be just an innocent looking balloon, but the contents of this vinyl release are far from lofty and full of hot air, instead grounding the listener through a mix of organic sound and digital dancefloor rhythms.

drunky daniels are by far the best brazilian techouse act together with volkoder. the duo delivers a brilliant release on material sub label!

‘panspermia‘, aptly named after the theory of the ‚all-seed‘ and its universal distribution of life through collision and contamination, is a highly skilled musical journey through the radiant realms of old school techno and into black holes of classic detroit-inspired darkness. with his carefully crafted debut ep, agonis starts out on his first and very personal mission into outerspace, towards the unknown aquazones and far-out planetery fringes of the house und techno universe.

covered by water i search for an escape from these tightening walls, far laughs confuse me, and i see the shadows of pedestrians over me, unarmed, in vain i try an handhold but i’m absorbed always more, i do not find an escape, one last inhalation, divides me from the death given to me, no more footsteps, no more shadows, no more laughs, no more water, one thunderous, gentle, rustle dries out each one of my tears of desperation, the eyes get closed, already white because of the cold.

this is truly otherworldly music transmitted from a failed galaxy far off into deepest darkest space.

goldmin music label founder romain lanteaume alias einka meets detroit minimalism master terrence dixon aka population one for a truly conceptual techno 12-.. terrence dixon is one of our favorite artists and biggest inspiration.. detroitborn artist released his first 12- back in 1994 followed by several quintessential records and 2 epic albums -from the far future- on legendary berlin-based label tresor. terrence is not only a great techno producer who makes subwoofers roar in clubs, he is a man obsessed by a concept, an idea that he s following from the very beginning.. -minimalism- in the reaaaaal sense of the word.. for example, when thousands producers are wondering what s eventually missing in their new track, terrence is rather wondering what s useless, what could be removed and that s definitely what he gets to share on his own -reduction- imprint. after the release of terrence s track -steve austin s mile- on goldmin theme lp, romain got to meet him in detroit during summer 2014. the aim was to make an abstract record that could still be linked to a feeling or a situation.. a1 the edge track is probably a good example as it s designed and built to make you feel like you get closer and closer to the edge while the track is slowly growing until you fall.. can you feel it? :) as for the other tracks, there is also a special idea behind them but we better let you interpret it your way

james -j dilla / jay dee- yancey leaves behind an impression on hip hop that will last the test of time. a bridge between hip hop’s underground and mainstream, dilla’s contributions ranged from single handedly defining detroit hip hop as a founding member of slum village to providing his production talents to common, d’angelo, busta rhymes, erykah badu, a tribe called quest, the pharcyde, the roots, janet jackson and macy gray.

8 tracks of raw arabic funk music, none of these have ever been reissued before. so far fadoul (or fadaul, or faddoul, the transcribtion of his name to latin letters differs)& his music had not been rediscovered, as a matter of fact most of those songs still left no trace whatsoever in the world wide web. it took us 2 years and countless trips to morocco to find the artists family to license the release from them.

the latest offering from glasgow label invisible inc comes courtesy of swedish psychrock / krautrock four-piece tross and shows quite a departure for the label from their predominantly electronic releases so far. veering towards a new territory that s distinctly more psychedelic than any of their previous releases the ep somehow manages to maintain a strong common musical thread that ties in with the “kosmische” leanings of previous ventures.
getting plays from andy weatherall, psychemagik, soft rocks, jd twitch and more

the deewees say: five years ago we met emmanuelle in an office in milano. for years we asked her to play us some of the music shed been making on her laptop in her bedroom. when deewee was built we invited the rio born / miami raised / milano based artist to make some music together. this is the first of many things weve done so far

since it was very hard to grow musically or in any other artistic way in regard of our surroundings, we always had a need to find inspiration somewhere else. things that were a given for some were far fetched and hard to come by. a distant dream. that s why we decided to go forward. a final push to reach the place we wanted to be. a place we can call home.

krl returns to wolf music after a production hiatus. the ep contains four krl dancefloor cuts and three skits that tap into his hip hop roots.

going further into techno territory, orphan swords come back with a three tracks ep called -license to desire- on paris-based desire records. following the -risk in the new age- ep (2014), this new hypnotic release is probably their most powerful so far, concentrating ebm, minimal techno gristle and industrial electronics. this ep clearly relates to previous efforts such as -caim- that has been described by xlr8r as -the grinding sounds and whirling blasts of white noise position the track directly in the realm of acts like sandwell district and richie hawtin s digressive and hypnotizing plastikman moniker.- make sure to check out the massive epic of asmoday and the textural sophistication of hooker .

known for rocking clubs as far as tokyo, new york, sydney, auckland, moscow and beyond- outside of productions inkswel has gained a name of respect when it comes to rocking the dance floor. early bboy fundamentals have salted his finely tuned craft, with a broad back catalogue of productions on labels such as bbe, rush hour, lumberjacks in hell, superior elevation and wolf music. oye records now brings his first ever edits release- previously only heard on dancefloors, jams that inkswel reconstructed for that purpose only- -making people dance . serving as tools for the groove, but unmistakably with the inxxxwel trademark sound. super limited pressing, launching the official oye edits imprint- party jams for party people.

the second of two brilliant eps produced by merweyn saunder and eric lewis. although this was released under a different name, they were actually all done in the set of sessions that also gave us the previous release, the virgo four ep. as far as the duo were concerned m.e. was their name and virgo was imposed on them by someone at trax. the two eps were later conjoined and released as an album in the uk radikal under the name virgo. it was re released in 2010 by rush hour.

sold out! what happens when scales and patterns of contradicting emotional imprints combine? when light and darkness, bitter and sweet, frost and blaze collide? those are the questions that johannes heil chooses to address on his upcoming album, opening up a vast grey-scaled area for the listener to traverse with techno as a blindfold. <black light> sees the german techno mainstay return to the album format for an intimate ten track odyssey of close-curtained introspection. heil chooses the words of fellow futurist nikola tesla to set the stage of the black light story: >black is the true face of light, only we do not see this<. track names are dropped in favor of a chronology of scenes, better adapted to the seemingly polar opposition of the forces that the figure and cocoon regular conjures throughout the album. everything that we perceive is processed and set into relation with past memories, digested emotions and iron-branded impressions. battling the current, johannes heil chooses to challenge certitudes by forcing us out of our comfort zones into the absence of light. if the pictures painted on >black light< are dark, they are also far from monochromatic. the machine-driven sonic prism acts both as the heavy cloud and the burst of light that shoots through to guide us. its the aggressor and the victim, the clenched teeth and the jubilant, the paranoia and the sanity of the mind. its pure heads-down driving techno with volumes of grandiose. provoking our senses, extending his art onto our personal canvases, the exile boss gives the listener the freedom to interpret the emotional context of each piece, to write the scripts of the individual scenes. the impression that >black light< leaves upon first listen testifies that 20 years down the road, johannes heil shows no sign of slowing down.
