2018 repress in original artwork! the debut album of these two young lads with baseball hats not only honours and delves into a sound that already peaked some fifteen years ago, it also hones and elevates it, without ever falling into the reynoldsmania trap (please see retromania for further reference) or being old gold retold. and this is all oh-so-clear from the very start: the fine flutes of >when its there< go straight to your heart and they do so without any self-mockery or hipster smiles as much as the gasping 303-sounds, chirping birds and healing dx-like bass sounds a few tracks later do. >salty days< - an allusion not to grim times, but to a certain members adoration for the crystalline mineral - is blessed with a coherence that isnt samey, with tradition that isnt leaden and a feeling that is pure.

few traces surveys a near decade of mark renner’s scarcely released and unreleased material from 1982 to 1990, embracing and evoking the timelessness of his artistic statement: a wordless translation of the individual’s musical experience, met with the poetic expression of being here. the double vinyl release comes with download code and booklet with extensive liner notes from brandon soderberg and unseen ephemera.

needwant welcomes lithuanian artist few nolder, who serves up three big club tracks and a fine remix from hommage and kompakt artist karl friedrich.needwant welcomes lithuanian artist few nolder, who serves up three big club tracks and a fine remix from hommage and kompakt artist karl friedrich.

a industrial callous, caustic and fervently cruel ep. contort yourself has once again gathered the best and boldest from past and present for its fourth ep. to begin with we have the grimacing visage of volition immanent, an intense live act made up of parrish smith and mark van de maat (knekelhuis). behind rawkish distortion, splintered beats and acrid bars screams a boiled anger, a track spitting on the divides of punk and electronics. nastiness is taken up a notch as noise ne er-do-wells zombies under stress take over. static is bent and doubled across thick chords and collapsed clap in the 1986 -maan zal zijn before the raw and raging battery of in onze tijd. l.i.e.s. regular svengalisghost grapples with maan zal zijn, channelling the originals rage into a mechanical monster. the 12inch is bookended with bite as mark forshaw (tabernacle/berceuse heroique) closes with the tortured and torrential thump of submission.

broken arrows are the powerhouse duo of londons bill ambrose and spruxx. united over an envy inducing collection of vintage and modern synths and drum machines. broken arrows are the sound of a slime coated pansexual club d amore as populated by malfunctioning ed-209s getting real freaky. taking cues from classic ebm, minimal synth, these three dark-fucking-wave destroyers are complimented by a remix from the one-man-brutalist-factory known as drvg cvltvre, taking the title track and twisting it into a reimagined 8-bit nes grinder / grindr. mastered by phelan kane. art by eric lee. always limited. download code included.

the firth release on the ever impressive boso imprint comes from atelier francesco, with few nolder returning to the label to deliver a stunning remix. a peak time electronic masterpiece, the highly distinct *akaino* starts on the dark tip we have come to expect from the boso catalogue, subtly building into a chorus of wholly uplifting synths and choir voices.

sometimes, there is a certain attention for a new artist and you can actually feel that this one is about to go through the roof. this is exactly the feeling we have with few nolder right now. with releases and tracks on boso, suol, cloud vision and not to forget his little summer hit *if* on connaisseur in late august, the vilnius resident has caught quite some attention over the last months. now, he completes this successful and busy year with his frst full ep on connaisseur called *moli*, featuring three new lovely tracks.

nobody can deny the fact that vilnius in lithuania is currently a very creative and agile place. first and foremost mario basanov of course, whose ten walls moniker swept the board last year and whose hype seems to have only just started. his popularity was heightened by the start of his own label boso. it took off with the highly praised -walking with elephants-, which was already one of the biggest tunes of this summer, before it even came out. the second release is by few nolder, another highly talented native from vilnius, who showed frst signs of life on connaisseur with his lovely tune -space espace- on our last edition of livingroom techno as well as with his remix for -canto d amore- by marco effe & francesco carone. -clouds- is the name of his boso release, and it looks to be the next big thing for this young label. for his frst own release on connaisseur he delivered -if-.the fact that it is different from his other output is why we have decided to present this tune in two versions as a 10- vinyl-only single. the original is a summerish and catchy house cut with a bouncy bassline and a slightly uk-approach.this tune makes you move without there being much you can do about it. the alt version goes deeper, building up with a question/answer theme until a strong, driving piano element joins to complete the track. lovers of older pokerflat releases will truly enjoy this version.

following in the footsteps of enigmatic sonic machine ten walls, few nolder is the next artist to grace the catalogue of the fresh and bold boso imprint. clouds is an emotionally charged trip across four driving electronic cuts, as powerful and original as you might expect from an artist who cut his teeth on planet mu, few nolder takes the listener through deep channels of wobbly bass, epic synth lines, kinetic percs and ethereal soundscapes cut through with driving basslines

vocal driven electronica, pop sensibilities and a touch of melancholia is a tried and tested recipe of silence music cuisine.

the long awaited follow up to the critically acclaimed *a fistful of dubplates* (zoom records) which featured dj harvey and was championed by the likes of françois kevorkian, ashley beedle, dimitri from paris and david morales to name but a few. this time dub versions of four double yellow tracks from their recently released album *life in the slow lane*.

vinyl exclusive version vidis brought us a handful of hidden gems last year. a selection showcasing the under estimated and often overlooked lithuanian house scene. after months of sifting and sorting, vidis came to what has become silence please! - a 14-track compilation that surprised many and turned more than a few heads with a unique taste of vilnius house.

last year, san franciscos icee hot made the jump from party to record label, kicking off its run with a release from resident/co-founder ghosts on tape and following it up with a record from lando kal, an artist whose ties to the bay area (and the icee hot crew in particular) ran deep.

for our 30th release, we dug deep into our vaults to find these 2 unreleased gems from a few years back, both testaments of our love for 90s house music. >the sound<, by fred everything and >its damaged<, by fred & olivier desmet pay their respects to the kerri chandler(s) and mood ii swing(s) of this world. they will be featured on the first lazy dubs compilation, out in june.
early support by john tejada, jimpster, marques wyatt, d julz, luciano, shur-i-kan, atnarko, joshua iz, roberto rodriguez, quentin harris ...

sagat delivers fresh & foggy techno. great hardwax styled techno which reminds to ancient methods

fantastic package with 2012 remixes of this all time classic!

it is not about knowledge only, academic or otherwise, it is and has always been more about understanding each thing for what it is, what it stands for and its origins. this is definitely the case with quell, who has been a friend of the these days records since the very beginning. after the artists collaboration with argy under the these days in-house project moniker >club lonely<, this is his first personal ep for the label. drawing influences from a few distant chronologically, yet classic styles of dance music, starting from disco-flavored house all the way to friendly nods at kerri chandler, ron trent, chez damier and the earlier period of new york citys ibadan records, >perception ep< blends all of them together in a most elegant and mature way. amidst the plethora of the house music sound recent revival, quell presents a very complete and solid proposal, which shows that he adores as much as he comprehends the connections between the past, present and future of this music

back with a bang, our old friend lance desardi goes back to his early deep house roots to bring us expressions ep. the bang the box label boss (with partner brett johnson) is known for his classic deep house sound, deeply rooted in proper american house. releases on seasons, classic & om to name but a few. hes also collaborated with jt donaldson (as undercover agency) & fred everything to name but a few. a short escapade in his live experience under the land shark disguise and mr desardi is back,ready to show us how its done with an ep that borrows from the past, present and future.

records like this dont come very often. thankfully it seems there are still people out there who care enough to create beautiful projects and timeless music. after the ingenious june white label came out last summer, these days records office fell in love with it and without wasting any time rushed to contact the mysterious artist and propose an album. although well-hidden in a secret back-alley of west london where june lives and dreams music, his unique approach on acid house, synth wave, chicago house and 80s nostalgia was too good to be left unnoticed and has been favored by people such as panorama bars steffi, mathematicss owner hieroglyphic being, terre thaemlitz and the clone record store to name but a few. almost half a year after his >alleviation< ep, junes debut album >cytheria< has been realized and features a 12inch sampler with two brand new tracks and two remixes by critically acclaimed dj sprinkles on one of junes older tracks >lost area<. terre thaemlitz aka dj sprinkles, who has been well renowned for his contributions in music and arts in general for the past two decades, delivers an epic remix that takes one to a forgotten musical territory somewhere between early warp records, hacienda, 80s new york club sound and older balearic music. the albums cd version includes 10 new songs and 4 from the artists back catalogue and retains a great balance between dance floor orientated tracks and synth-pop.

planet mu release his newly finished debut album new folder. experimenting with off kilter micro house and druggy wonk, linas gives us a simple beat around which he flips deceptively simple synthline progressions which grow into monolithic riffs. at the crux of nu disco, dubstep and techno, and using local vocal talent, linas has a truly forward looking european sound.
