house is at home with bobby browser, who may be “still browsing” after 2012’s “just browsing” ep, but these four tracks feel like he’s finally splurged on the pleasure-purchase. never afraid to fuse sad soul ii soulisms with flute-floozy milan model-walk wonders, or blue lipstick, platform dance with classic groove-back ogle-voguing, bobby browser remains a san fran late-night-on-haight-night latin legend. browser’s known for djing gel-gems like “bad bad boys” and other, mostly forgotten, romantic thrift store singles and as producer he’s got the same no-boundaries deep-‘preciation for all that can be stirred in his stoopid stew. howard jones meets earth, wind, and fire meets n’dea davenport meets sade meets frankie knuckles but not at all straightforward, and nothing short of silky slip-peeling. always lovely and light, sleek and chic, bobby browser’s bought a spot on your yacht. it’s going to be a smooth cruise.

wbeezas first release since 2012s peckham fly/billy green is ded single. if you believe is a simple stone cold knockout hook over deliciously arranged elements. wacky racers is a peak time banger - maybe his hardest track so far. wise root is a slow burner, only revealing its full force after nearly 5 minutes of keeping the dance floor locked in. mo bella is a rolling, swinging live jam of irrepressible groove. four unmistakable wbeeza joints.

their new ep by shadow moses is maybe a style breaker leaning more towards a techno vibe with detroit roots,spanning the years between basic channel and modern love. but still in the usual quality, which means solid releases aiming on the special moments on the dancefloor and not on the charts! shadow mosess most recent 2-tracker boasts textures befitting early springtimes emotional relief: tonal warmth permeates cold, floating atmospherics, while chugging drum tracks warm up bodies...and speaker stacks. full of energy and joy with the long winter finally being over.

last night on earth continues to support and pluck artists that are turning heads, with ejeca at the forefront of ushering in the recent heavy 90s revival. his nu-house, garage style is ever present in his latest frequency ep. the first two tracks hi rollin and neva 2 far are dripping with classic vocals and vintage house sound. nassau storm brings a dubby side to the ep, while time for change adds calming intelligent beats fused with soul. last night on earth hit the spot once again as the supreme ejeca puts out another incredible release.

two thirds of the hypercolour label team, alex jones and ste roberts, present the first initials 12 inch of 2013 in the form of shard in the hole by blue & green. otherwise known as bareskin & j.wiltshire, blue & green have already developed respectable reputation for themselves. bareskin, aka 19 year old josh thompson from winchester, has set his stall out with non-standard house workouts for losing suki and hypercolour while j.wiltshire has an imminent ep for the prolific imprint.as with previous initials releases,shard in the hole has a techno leaning stance, albeit one with a far from purist outlook. the title track is a broken 4:4 track that builds towards a solitary pulsing bass note and skittering high end percussion and arpeggios. bring me down on the flip is a housier groove complete with an unnerving bassline and clipped vocal samples complimented with distorted washes and theremin-esque tones.

between the two of them, jenifa mayanja and lola (aka dakini9) have over 20 years experience in nycs electronic music community. here, they have combined forces for the first time to launch a new label and music collective: sound warrior. jenifa & lola envision sound warrior as a forum for developing and promoting women electronic music producers. based on their own, and the combined wisdom of other women in the scene, jenifa & lola decided to create this platform as a community for women electronic music artists, and hope to grow the idea into far beyond a record label. starting things off with a split 12 inch, jen and lola deliver two distinct takes on percussion-heavy, ritualistic deep house.

left hand path is an ode to the other, the outside, the odd and uncanny, a window to the wilds of theoutdoors from the crushing claustrophobia of the rat race. musically, the new aspects album deftly treads the light beam divide of old and new - at times dusty-fingered and familiar, yet finding moments of un-quantized lo-fi sci-fi - not far from l.a.s low end theory sound buffet.

it came as a great surprise when nail accepted to press on vinyl the 2011 produced bpms vol.1 he had so far only released through his own website. nail has been one of our favorite producers for quite some time now and his relentless beats always part of our selections.

like a web of technoidal spaghetti thrown in the face of a non-believer, invincible scum (andy blake / milo smee) lay down a pulsating analog power jam. bintus stitchs together remaining scraps from the cutting room floor, then makes several passes over his philosophers anvil to forge side b. dj support so far: jimmy edgar, objekt, distal, truss, perc, mark broom, cosmo vitelli, eric d clark, holly herndon

the soft rocks collective feature twice on the upstart black rox label with two heavily tribal remixes for a so far unknown artist. the soft rocks take on *filaw* is wrapped in horns and jungle sounds - not too far off a 1970s brian jackson and gil scott heron collaboration. on the flip is a possible talking heads reference in *once in a life time*, which gathers mesmeric african drums and percussion, grooving in harmony to ritualistic chant. a mohican david byrne perhaps?

the long and awaited winter warz release by detest is now finally ready to hit the world! next attack e.p. by detest is one of the most anticipated releases of 2013. daily requests since last year december makes this a wanted artifact for everybody who got love for the underground hardcore drum & bass scene.

next up on crosstown rebels clandestine off-shoot label rebellion is the dexterous and versatile producer behind latest alias, siopis. adorning the master plan ep with a far murkier quality than previous works as silversurfer, the siopis sound is destined for the darker recesses of the club.

master-class techno - about cassegrain - what should we say? they did it again. in fact alex and hüseyin had a great brilliant year in 2012 and 2013 starts stronger with this double 12?. tiamat is not just a collection of techno tracks, its one of the best techno tracks we have heard so far and everybody with some techno nerves should recognize very fast what treasure this is.

our first offering from survival and silent witness sets off the tone of what to expect from the full *in from the wild* package itself and album which seems to morph and twist from all out dance floor brutality to musical genius and back like these 2 artists seem to do so often and so effortlessly. *the feeding* is a powerful space age drum-shuffled crowd killer whilst *lights* presents a more musical journey from start to finish, in our eyes it is a very complete 12 inch pick from a very well pieced album. trust us, this talented duo are taking no prisoners in 2013.
support for the album so far from: friction (on bbc radio 1), laurent garnier (on his pbb worldwide radio show), london elektricity (on his hospital records xmas podcast). select tracks have also received wide support and praise from the likes of calyx & teebee, break, ant tc1, nymfo (as featured on his fabric mix), xtrah, youngsta, octane, dlr, skeptical, artificial intelligence, dbr uk, basher, mindscape, lynx, cern, hybris, ruckspin, june miller and gerra & stone.

transparent vinyl. part 2 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.

one more heavy hitter on credo, and this time we could even say two tracks that form an ep as strond as the so far most sold credo-release from 2007 - bullet in your heart. the name tells already some connection to australia and indeed the basic idea came up during alex tour down under in fall 2012 where he played three cities within three days and a total of 9h playtime for which he travelled 64h in total. sydney acid is the main track of the ep, no doubt and hard to describe. it is a pure, driven technotrack with a fierce, no blubby, but very powerful acid bassline aiming at riots on the dancefloor. melbourne dub tells exactly what the track is all about and by the way featuring the sound of the local traffic lights that made alex thinking about creating some tracks related to it.

with releases under a range of pseudonyms (orpheus, sir leon greg, nite vision) and support for his previous explorations of depth coming from the likes of john heckle, dj deep, aroy dee, chicago skyway and steffi to name but a few, once again perseus traxx unashamedly shows his nature on this release. thoughts, feelings and emotions are by far the most important influences on music, and capturing moments then translating into a musical form he once again documents the more personal elements of his life, taking you deep. perseus weaves a rich tapestry of emotions and desires using heavily weighted bass tones and skipping percussion that thread together with expansive strings and pads. these are married with more detailed melodies and modulated tones that shimmer in and out of the psyche as he uses analogue boxes and their warmth like a loom. this collection of music ranges from the deep and dreamy, to total transcendence within steady dance floor rhythms clothed in a warm yet spacious fabric of sound. deep house, sometimes with a real sense of urgency that juxtaposes with it is inherent flights of fancy.

here we are with the last chapter of kruse & nuernbergs excellent debut album *lets call it a day*. released last fall on lazy days, the album was cherished by the press and topped the digital sales charts of various genres from deep house to nu disco and chill out. remixers so far came in from such great talents as spirit catcher, shur-i-kan and nathan g, this time it is up to mario basanov, wolf + lamb and fred everything.

eight tracks from one of the worlds leading up and coming producers on two 12 inches in a picture sleeve. initially coming from a background in the musically raucous worlds of 2 step and garage, synkro has, over time, developed a sound that is altogether more introspective, more emotive and more emotionally complex. stepping up here with his second release on legendary apollo records, synkro delivers eight tracks that - while retaining some of the stutter and swing of garage, are far more rooted in the textural world of ambient music for which apollo is famed.

when discotheque the volcano was torn down in the hague this year, the bricks and mortar were ground down to a fine powder. in a completely revolutionary process the powder was distilled and filtered by boffins and local music producers to manufacture the music you find on this record. even more surprisingly maybe is that it turns out that the same powder can be both inhaled and injected. i ve just had a bit actually and its not bad. post-post sewer tracks far beyond your wildest imagination.

limited copies! special entry 00x on the a made up sound label series and probably the most far out one yet. we honestly dont know how to describe this anymore, we do know it can cause mayhem on the floor – or freeze it entirely. go ahead.

delsins house series is back once again, this time with mysterious producer low jack about who very little is known. he has released but one ep so far, an ep that was both ballsy and techno and deeper and mid tempo. his free pyjamas ep is house, of course, but thick, dense, gauzy textures fill every inch of the airwaves throughout.

this is a joint venture of up and coming paskal & urban absolutes and house veterans henry l & ingo saenger. all 4 producers are connected by their penchant for deep and raw house music, while living quite far apart in berlin (b), düsseldorf (d), dortmund (d) and koeln (k). paskal & urban absolutes recently released on the highly respected sonar kolletiv label among others, whereas henry l and ingo sänger released on their own farside label and have been playing house music all life long. the 2 original tracks plus the 2 remixes are all sexy swingers! welcome to 2013!

doubleheart, the collaborative project of two of scotlands longest serving creative individuals in electronic music - jd twitch (optimo espacio) and neil landstrumm. taking its name from title song *roots* - a sub heavy, tension building track that re-imagines jamaican dub poet michael smiths original from the seminal 1982 album ‘mi cyaan believe it - the ep as a whole works as an analogue exploration into the rawer side of dance music. working together allows these veteran producers to fuse their individual styles and musical sensibilities, combining landstrumms raw aesthetic and mastery of hardware manipulation with twitchs unrivalled knowledge of what makes a dancefloor tick. spawning from the depths of their imaginations and machines are 4 club-ready tracks brimming with anticipation and menace. although taking its inspiration from 80s electro and 90s acid & rave, the final result is far from a throwback to a halcyon, bygone era. instead, they have managed to carve out a distinctive sound the bleeps and bangs its way firmly into 2013.

it has been a memorable year for the luv shack. release after release, props after props, watching the guys build on a solid foundations and take it up a notch each time. if you listen to their first release (again), and then this new release, you will see just how far they have travelled in such a small time frame. and yes, it started with a couple of mini compilations and eps to see what the reaction would be. the reaction was good, actually no, the reaction was great, the right jocks took to the guys and the early eps and hence since, the luv shack posse have been locked up in a studio ever since. they have been productive, and more to the point, excelling in that production. it is going to be a brilliant 2013.

its been a good year so far for a1 bassline, with a string of well thought of releases on dirtybird, his own imprint sourceunknwn and the much touted pets recordings, the home of catz and dogz.this new offing on his own label again phobia, a colab with the fast up coming bobby champs (pictures/hypercolour), is sure to have similar success, on the b side kevin mcphee delivers a dark techno remix.

vinyl only... special request returns with the third vital 12 inch in this series based on capturing the spontaneous rugged energy of uk pirate radio and re-wiring this into chaotic dancefloor moments. maintaining all the illicit qualities of the best hardcore/jungle blueprints but reloading them with a contemporary approach, there is an attention to detail and touch here that makes these recordings far from revisionist. on the third stamped release, special request tackles the voice of one of this years most talked about artists, laying down a deadly amen break and killer hoover bassline for a sub 130 bpm dnb track that is simply explosive. on the flip is the even tougher vip mix that doubles up as a dub. limited hand-stamped, vinyl only release

fear of flying unleash their first ever lp with dutchman ivano tetelepta undertaking the honours. the 8 tracks on the vinyl are a step away from the traditional straight up 4/4 route that fof usually tread, feeling that for an lp to make a splash in the modern era it has to be more about the flow of tracks as a whole, rather than just a double pack of straight up house beats. there has to be a splash more emotion and feeling with the emphasis on mood. yet that isnt to say there arent club worthy tracks, far from it. the glorious twisted 120 and deep tech funk 119 are custom made for the dancefloor and are exclusive to the vinyl release

tablon is a new france based independent record label. supporting artists with a characteristic style, tablon releases music by passion, developing its own vision of todays and tomorrows dance music.
after a first ep by arnaud linked in a certain way to greece, tablon 002 will come from istanbul. far from us the idea to make a worldwide music label or refer to any old war between two countries. it just happened like that. sarp makes amazing music and we are proud to present his new ep. it is called >i care because you dont<, the artwork is made by nefelie and the mastering by mathieu berthet in paris. as we care a lot about the vinyl thing, our releases appear first on 12 inch vinyl.

pitto in rare form, releasing one of the most beautiful melodies on the label so far, backed up with a remix by jackmate aka soul phiction. essential deep house!

assemble music returns with a three-track ep from colognes david joseph aka st. joseph, exploring further the refined, tripping path forged on the labels previous release from daze maxim. the pianos, vocal snatches and ambient hiss of josephs releases on platzhirsch are present and correct, but here the jazz flourishes are reduced down into something far slicker. these tracks have been prepared using a keen blade, and none sharper than >personal dancefloor<. heavy drum programming and a rumbling bottom end bring to mind theo parrish in his moodier moments, but the deal is sweetened by light piano, garage-like vocal samples and a deep, burning 4 love bassline. >indigo< spins the duke ellington classic into a spiralling, shuffling chugger that will bring a 30s harlem spirit to enterprising dancefloors. move the needle to the b2, though, for the eps party hit. written in 2009 and reflecting that years raw arrangements and joyous samples, >wave/table/muscle< finally gets a vinyl release, proving this sound endures to this day. expect more of the same from assemble music with their next release featuring vera and ricardo villalobos.

remastered double vinyl re-issue of this 2007 album by chromatics, including 5 never before released tracks. produced by johnny jewel, vocals by ruth radelet.

outstanding, completely alienated & dark sounding techno
