awesomely executed take on uk bass, footwork, house & techno - highly recommended

the friendship with jason lanox and henk goes way back into the early days when we started holding parties on an old shipyard in amsterdam. from the first moment henk was captured by the productions of jason lanox. henk followed him closely and saw him grow as a person, producer and performer. the first album >burning every bridge that i cross to find some beautiful place to get lost< was the reason to finally realize the long kept ambition to start henk recordings.

prinzhorn dance schools sophomore album, clay class, releases a quiet energy amongst a dark landscape, inarguably in tune with the downtrodden economic situations that have permeated modern life in the bands native britain, and conversely, along our shores. tobin prinz and suzi horn form a compelling duo whose shout-and-answer approach, paired with edgy and steady bass/drum patterns, achieves perfection in songs such as >seed, crop, harvest< and >your fire has gone out<. the album is constructed on the emblem of empty space, as songs such as >i want you< bridge the gap between musical minimalism and cold intimacy. the oscillation between starkness and warmth pays homage to the bands debut 2007 release, while also creating a modern, if not postmodern, musical snapshot of life across the pond, as well as in our own backyards.
includes full cd-version of this album.

nice price deal !!! melodies and words are in faccinis bones and his finely crafted songs resonate with traces of his ancestry. if his songs were maps they would stretch from the english moors to the saharan dunes via the parched plains of the mediterrannean before spanning the atlantic ocean all the way to the mississippi delta. for piers, recording albums means surrounding himself with old friends, people he can talk music with, true accomplices, fellow souls who share a common vision. a soulful and expressive singer/songwriter whose music fuses folk, acoustic blues, and west african textures, piers faccini was born in england to anglo-italian parents, and moved with his family to france when he was five years old.
includes cd-version of the full album.

next amazing thoughtless moover by stare5 aka bryan zentz with a huge remix of noah pred. known for his distinctive productions over the years as barada, cyan and under his own name on seminal techno labels such as primate, tronic, jericho, plus 8 and cmyk, bryan zentz reprises his stare5 role for thoughtless with three tracks of dub-fueled deepness. pushing ever outward on tides of subsonic bass, >the sprawl< emerges from cover of night, a vast expanse of sleepless chords illuminating the darkness as ripples of reverberant effects reach toward the stars. label boss noah pred adds another layer to the low end to imbue his remix with a swinging pulse, then intensifies the hypnosis with a sinuous synth that snakes its way through a winding labyrinth built from the materials of the original. >frozen fog< opens with cold yet insistent stabs that keep pace atop a bouncing dub bass line, responsive chords building pressure amidst gradually rising vapors. with equal nods to detroit and berlin, bryan zentz successfully presents his own unique vision of a classic form with >the sprawl< - solidifying his reputation as a master of the style in the process.

sometimes things turn out different than planned. that also applies for remixes one does for other labels: >the lost remixes< features two personal favourite remixes by sascha dive, now seeing a release on vinly for the first time. side a offers a gentle & laid-back remix for neggheads >being< that warms-up every dance-floor just like a sweet summer breeze. sascha dives remix for the basil classic >time to be free (free world)< on side b is a lot more four to the floor and with its almost epic groove yet proven another track that you’ll hear in clubs at any time of the night. listen up!

atlanta producer distal teams up with vancouvers hxdb for >booyant<, an absolutely killer collaboration that fuses the best elements of both producers in fine style. taking a 136bpm tempo and bridging dubstep with a cutting edge bass-heavy house vibe, the duo pull together an intimate dancefloor bubbler that fans of night slugs and swamp 81 will most likely feel quite at home with. awash with lush synths and gurgling sound bytes, >booyant< is a quality track to tickle many a fancy. flip to side aa for distals solo effort >amphibian<, an excellent piece of 140bpm machine music, whirring and clicking in a roughly similar vein to instra:mentals >rift zone<. experimental dubstep pressure for the open minded, guaranteed future-proof. distal will release his debut album >civilization< on tectonic later in the spring of 2012.

incl. manik & hot since 82 rmxschris james, 50 % of one of the fastest rising artists of 2011, coat of arms, presents his first off ep. and theyear might be young, but we predict this will be one of our highlights for 2012. nothing else matters is a massivepeaktime anthem. cutting-edge production, a massive bassline, anthemic vocals. the remix by hot since 82 transforms the original into an even darker affair, adding spooky synth pads and a slightly techier groove. for on & on james takes similar ingredients as for nothing else matters - killer bass, irresistible vocal, massive production- but cooks up a slightly deeper track, perfect to be enjoyed at the earlier or later hours of the night. man of the moment manik nyc delivers a massive remix for on & on, adding a subsonic garage-ish bassline, eerie synth stabs,little acid licks and jacking rimshots.

the dust collision of swiss voodoo priestess kate waxs recently unveiled album takes its titular inspiration from switzerlands world-leading large hadron collider, where sub-atomic particles are accelerated into one another, and the subsequent fallout observed for our universal scientific advancement. the first single to be lifted from said album – title track dust collision – is a cornerstone of self-producing autocrat kate waxs personal album philosophy, where humans find new lovers through passing encounters in the night, like particles colliding in the lhc – momentary, exhilarating, predatory, intimate and ecstatic.

imugem orihasam, offers a deep and introspective relation ep continuing the sistrum tradition of quality underground sounds for the true appreciators. track a1 - relation sets the tone right away, with soothing strings guiding a classic rhythm section into hypnotic territory. slowly, a tapestry of delicate textures evolves around the beats - sure to be the soundtrack to many a late night dancefloor. close your eyes and get inside your mind with this one. track b1 - “mirage” continues down the path of hypnotic, deep techno laid out on relation, toughening up the beats just a bit, with a subby kick and crisp back beat that gives it some extra punch. swirling, phasing strings and metallic, ring modulated tones float above a sub bassline that is sure to make things rumble. this is pure love from japan. track b2 - overlap lights (p. scott edit) - sistrum’s main man, patrice scott, steps in to offer his interpretation of imugem’s “overlap lights,” bringing forth his signature ultra deep, slow building future/classic detroit sound. patrice’s edit is a warm, delicate, masterful arrangement of imugem’s tones and textures - there never seems to be too much going on, just enough to convey his intended message, ever-so-effectively. clutter is left by the wayside and the listener is left with the perfect palette of sonic delights.

after conforces tight album release on delsin and other concept projects he did he/we went wild with this one and selected some tracks we just want to play out loud in a club from vinyl (incl. a killer remix by gesloten cirkel for the title track). at first sight these tracks dont have much in common... and probably still not for the second listen, but we didnt really bother for this one. it will be a standard in our dj box for the coming months with 4 tracks that all have a bit of a different groove and a different mood. grain, be there at night, 24 and 24 remixed by gesloten cirkel. this is probably as versatile as a clone basement release can get.

ltd 2012 repress !!! the reclusive, enigmatic individualist and auteur of electronic music pepe bradock created with >intriguing feathered creatures< another intense masterpiece that is so unmistakably him, stomping, multi-layerd beats that sound so loose and funky as machine rhythms can possibly get, the bubbly walking bassline which could be an on-spot improvisation by some jazz great, moody loops running backwards topped by a grinding steel drum melody and frantic, psychedelic chirping sounds as made from mechanical windup birds. a mystical end of the night tune ending in animated birdsounds that accompany you from the dark club into the morning sun and inspire to spend a resting day out in the country

montreal-native tazz delivers new kanada three jacking and psychotic beat trax for an aggressive entry into 2012. tazz and bacanito unravel the threads of aggression in the lead cut >cosmic sex<. metallic heavy machine funk for those winter nights. >wanderer< is a late night ode to model 500, with waves of synths burrowing into the ground to produce a dark wave classic. cold, pure and supple. >mermaids and mermen< is is the tough club killer in the package. a deep tricky dub transforms into an underwater symphony of rusted hooks and fm pads… a serious lights out, head down burner.

>rastaman vibration< is a roots reggae album by bob marley & the wailers released in 1976.
it captures the last moments of marleys tenure as jamaicas folk hero before he developed into a worldwide superstar. to those with their ear to the ground, he was already a giant, but it wasnt until the following year that those slower off the mark were to latch on to his energy.

exone 12 comes from fresh italian talent andrea zannini. born in terni, a major industrial town in central italy, andrea began fiddling with electronic gear at school where he had developed his passion for music, playing locally and experimenting with production. but terni is small and it was just a matter of time for berlin to become the place to go, try out, learn experiment, live. the place where while working at night on his music and during the day in a pizzeria, he met the exone fellowship, who are eager pizza eaters. fantasy dream ventures right to the highest feeling you can have on the dancefloor, with a bassline that builds and bubbles increasing your grin with evey shift. fantasy dream is remixed bydave vega who reveals an epic deeper side and pleasantly surprised us with his expansive mix. certamente shows the funky house side of zannini, well he is italian! phantasmeano delivers a beauty of a remix. gentle, precious, simply gorgeous it surrounds you and captures your body completely as the bass kicks in - best of all, the phantasmeano remix is for vinyl lovers only.

after releases on gigolo, rush hour, planet e, night drive music and we play house, french producer sebastien san comes up with more great stuff: the >asylum e.p.< on hamburg based label couldnt care more (who only just made a deep impression with the oliverwho factorys i can see) is made to be played on every dancefloor there is. with the hypnotic techno-soundscapes of title track asylum sebastien san created one of his best tracks ever and the other two tracks are of same quality. uptempo track does compute is driven by inescapable hooks while alpha centauri slows it down a little with warm but inclined strings, chicago house claps and a subtly pulsating bassline.

from the start of this debut release from amsterdam-based lapien, one conceives that the young producer is conscientious. >anvers<, the french name for belgian port antwerp, starts in unassuming manner, synths swimming, bass pondering, a gentle cymbal tapping. its the sound of thoughtful admiration, as if lapien is standing in front of the citys towering gothic cathedral, motionless in the midst of a now modern metropolis. but then, as loops spring uncomfortably back and an insistent beat thunders into the fray, one realizes that this is no time for admiring architecture: this is a night drive through the city – coarse orange streetlamps, chrome blue reflections, droplet-stained window panes. it is, also, at an unusually and unsettlingly fast pace, dragging its deeper house timbres and textures upwards. conforces mix is anything but restful: alarms in the distance fall around offbeat rhythms of increasingly diverse dynamics, bringing rain down on the city at night. to end, fred ps composition is heavy & uncompromising, yet it quivers with synths washed in beautiful, calming ambience

despite the doors being closed on dissident in 2009, former boss andy blake has been anything but quiet, with his world unknown imprint bringing the acid and ebm sounds of his night of the same name to the world. now hes started another label, in plain sight, which looks set to bring more esoteric house sounds to our ears, with the first release coming from the hitherto unknown youngtee. the first track, >dr chocolate< fuses the kind of oddball low-slung sounds and spoken-word samples that in flagranti have been masters of for years, with jazzy keys and 808 cowbells which hint at a subtle chicago influence. the classic house influence continues of >perfect model<, which combines misty chords with an 80s pop groove, falsetto vocal sample and synth jam solo which comes across as alternate universe michael jackson track. as youd expect from a label curated by blake, its house music, but not quite as you know it.

jay shepheards retrofit imprint reaches its seventh release with this fine ep of old school sounds with an undeniably modern feel. >hefty done me right< begins proceedings with a house-disco hybrid sporting a particularly meaty analogue bassline, 80s electro vocal samples and shimmering pop synths, while >the electric model< marries a distinctly kraftwerk-esque motorik vibe with balearic disco sweeps and horns. on the flip, >one night in puzon< opens with a tense rising string line, broken with a crystalline piano mosaic and deep squelching bass. finally, tw closes proceedings with his own dub take on >hefty done me right<, amping up the electro feel of the original with an mpc cut-up style reworking filled with heavy vocal samples and rolling piano stabs, transplanting the original from its italian roots to 80s harlem.

the new leena welcomes an artist who rise through the ranks of the dj elite has been swift, purposeful and striking. starting out as a promoter and label manager, nicole moudaber booked huge acts for her soundworx nights at londons legendary turnmills club alongside running southeast recordings, but it wasnt long before she started to produce herself. flawlessly carving out her very own edgy house and tough, soulful techno sound, her music was instantly picked up by the worlds leading tastemakers including carl cox, john digweed and pete tong. a residency in ibiza playing alongside carl cox at his weekly night followed, as well as requests for guest mixes on both his and john digweeds internationally syndicated radio shows. her releases have received just as much praise as her dj performances.

we are proud to release the first ep from the new fluxion album on echocord. this work is about his travels in music. the sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the music influences deriving from them. through his prism those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take. fluxion captured the motion in his travels with a different feeling each time. on no man is an island with the unreleased dennis brown vocal version ,an influential song, with a clear message. desert nights a kind of desert rock meeting dub on a road movie. butiama an actual place, where variations and consistency in rhythm is within people s dna. this ep also includes a flowing rmx by our good friend thomas fehlmann. after a decade in the field of dub, techno, ambient, fluxion opens the horizon with music that cannot fall under one specific territory.

sonic underground compiles remixes by the ccc family of up-and-coming indie artists – four floor-ready, mutant hybrids of rock, pop, disco and deep house. belgian firebrand mugwumps rework of cccs own acid snow transforms the acid/no-wave original into a disco-house monster thats earned accolades from the likes of ewan pearson and magda. ivan smagghe calls the remix a no-nonsense record. while some look for experimental arty-ness, some for the big hit, all of this pretending to be underground, mugwump pull out of their sleeves what is properly hard to achieve, a cool big track.in a similar way, the rest of sonic underground explores new combinations of arty edginess and mass appeal. mack winston & the reflections see their swaggering glam-rock transformed by ccc into a deep back-room sex jam thats getting support from the wolf + lamb crew and is featured on soul claps compilation cd for mixmag in february. the flipside highlights remixes by cccs own night plane: with its atmospheric guitar and emo vocals, his take on presssures sounds like if the cure ever showed up on crosstown rebels, and his re-design of fellow new yorker baby alpaca is a dreamy k-hole lullaby, with blissed-out melodies that make it an after-hours snuggle classic.
