groovement has been developing its artistic connection with japan in recent years, so sais integration as a member of the labels on-going group of producers feels nothing short than natural. this first record showcases his meticulous approach to electronic music creation, with 4 original tracks that constitute a strong demonstration of his potential. flying with you” is a collection of tracks with a house matrix feel, sometimes revealing a dramatic pulse other times hypnotic forward thinking moves, but always with a subtle melodic texture that makes it work for the mind, body and soul. in fact, sais music is both luminous and dense, inviting us to embark on a trip but giving us the freedom to dream about our own destination. its a beautiful sense of interaction between the creator and his audience.

the man from marseille vernon dropping his second e.p for dabj here, building on the groove of his debut >chicken dance< but adding an extended palette of sound and taking things in a slightly tougher direction. >how to travel the universe (without a flying saucer)< kicks of with >ignition<, an eerie ghost train cut ripe for an lsd-fuelled danse macabre through the town after the witching hour. >one night in tanzania< rolls out into a rugged, clave-led jacker: a perfect mix between the deep and the tough that vernon can deftly muster, seemingly with ease. flip the white wax for a run of jagged, acidic noise on >how to build a pyramid<, a perfect soundtrack to getting >the acid life< tattooed on yer forehead tebori-style by a crippled ex-yakusa in a back-alley whorehouse...

the sixth 10-inch record from cocoon recordings features brendan gregoriy aka chymera and martin dawson with glimpse on the flipside. -pump- is a melodic neotrance / detroit infected summeranthem as we like it... flipside is a hypnotic / groovin techhouse floormonster

>kroy menya…< had been in our record boxes since it first appeared on scsi-9s excellent and highly acclaimed >digital russian< lp back in 2003. liking it as much as we did we though itd be rather nice to give it a leg up into the year 2007 with a nice lil rmx package. so firstly we employed the services of moon harbour starlets and all round good uns luna city express to give it a rub down in the form of their >lovely luna people< rmx

mukatsuku kicks off the incoming autumn period with two delicious slabs of dreamy jazzual bliss from spanish artist and multi-talented musician marc friedli aka skymark. both tracks are presented here in a single form for the first time. “flying fantasy” is taken from the “resistance sonore” album on marc’s own label imprint modern sun from 2016 here in an exclusive instrumental version. on the flipside “rhodes e serenidade” is lifted from the “waves from the nucleus” long player from 2015.

finally realized, here s one that was long on the dkr wish list. among the very finest moments from both artists, these brilliant interpolations of curtis classics have been unavailable too long. a mesmerizing rhythm adorned with the lovely sounds of hand drums, melodica and flute, mixed and dubbed to perfection by king tubby himself. this 12inch is a 6 track ep, with all four cuts as originally released on two separate 45s, plus two unreleased mixes straight off the original tapes. we like to think tubbs favored these cuts, as so many mixes were done! the dub titled super cool is, in our humble opinion, one of tubby s top 10 extant mixes. full disclosure, all tracks except super cool pt. 2 come from the original jamaican mastertapes. we suspect the pt. 2 mix was lost somewhere in nyc, but don t let that trouble you, this one should please all who have ears.

eshu, the production collective and record label from nijmegen are back with their next offering. their 12th release is a various artists release that features blm, joburg and steven siwalette alongside label members ivano tetelepta and jocelyn abell. it comes on the heels of teteleptas absorbing dub techno album, senang, and is another high class offering. nijmegen based siwalette is first, previously contributed to the label as part of sys. his stragglers is a sparse but atmospheric track with industrial drones and slowly turning drums taking you through a desolate factory late at night. his second offering is alien encounter which is just as it sounds - a spooky, unsettling bit of cinematic sound design with menacing bass and icy pads all growing in loudness until they eventually consume your mind. lastly on the a-side, uk producer and fear of flying label boss blm lays down a skeletal groove thats embellished with beautiful, yawning synths. scattered little details and fx making this a cavernous piece that encourages your mind to wander and get lost. on the flip, jocelyn abell and ivano tetelepta cook up a heavyweight, mid tempo bit of dub techno with sharp hits and rolling kicks lulling you into a trance. last of all, the emerging j?burg picks up the pace with a perfectly chiselled bit of rock solid dub with looping drums and icy hi hats sinking you deep into its midst. this is an excellent ep that packs in a range of fascinating sounds for both the home and the club.

the next instalment in the my rules catalog sees label owner justin van der volgen take on japanese house legend yukihiro fukutomi aka foog s techy club jam flying . originally available as a digital-only release, it s twisted into two exclusive new versions. on the a-side edit, justin travels down the less walked path of splicing and shortens the track, which along with his subtle drum additions tastefully amplify and sharpen the feeling of tension and release. the b-side dub is a heavy bass and drum mix complete with flanged hissing hi-hats, alien claps and cavernous echoes.

2x12 inch lp in printed innersleeves with lyrics + the album on cd format. rooms / ruins is a collection of eleven devastating songs from a highly intriguing and beguiling band. with their unique mix of experimental rock, drony post-folk and deep, dark blues, flying horseman is an ongoing, growing sensation.

a concept album is the best way to get back to being agan. -amplification of movements- (2017) is the first full-length album of giuseppe carlini, already a member of plaster with gianclaudio h. moniri (kaeba). a work inspired by and dedicated to the natural reserve of vico lake, in italy. during a four-year period, from 2012 to 2016, the artist focused on the wildlife of the area in the province of viterbo, considering it both as an inspiring muse and an object of study. -amplification of movements- was developed little by little, in the wake of an -onion- architecture and layered in six songs which inevitably reference the nature of the site. the parallels between the place and the music are also to be found in search of a sound, which is balanced between field recordings and self production.

ivanlatyshev is a record producer and dj with more than 10-years experience, having grown up in russias cultural epicentre of st petersburg. developing a love for deep house, the young producer has been releasing his perfectly-realised club tunes on labels such as toolroom, and now provides us with a second outing on dessous recordings. the art of flying ep presents two original tracks and a pair of remixes of the lead cut. the original art of flying is quite a statement a jazzy, swingy beat introduces the track, before solidifying around punchy 4/4 groove. restless synths drift in and out resulting in a track that is both exceptionally funky and deeply wonky - topped off with a killer spoken word vocal. the ever-dependable eddie fowlkes steps up on remix duties and supplies a more jacking interpretation, adding a filthy bassline on his fly mix. the same track also gets a crazy dub rework which expands the space within the track and strips it down for maximum club effect.

in unserer schnelllebigen zeit sind fünf jahre musikalischer zusammenarbeit ein immer selteneres geschenk und ein schöner anlass zu feiern. mollono.bass & ava asante begehen das jubiläum mit ihrem ersten album: birds flying high. während teil eins der doppel-lp bereits im sommer ’16 viel freude in die festivalwelt getragen hat, gab ihnen die ruhe des winters genug zeit im studio, um ihre musikalischen ideen für teil zwei in form zu gießen. diesmal führt die reise entlang endloser strassen durch lebendige afrikanische dörfer hin zu geheimnisvollen orten einer traumlandschaft asiens - tracks zum entspannten dahingleiten und zum leidenschaftlichen tanzen.

night train serves both as a marvellous offering for james brown completists, and, on another level, as a brilliant on-record instrumental jukebox, full of booting saxes, guitar sounds that practically force you to get up and dance, and all propelled by a beat that’s spanned the years without ageing one little bit. so there you have it… a great album that proves what james brown and his friends were doing at the start of the ‘60s still sounds amazingly fresh.

nail provides the lead track for fofs latest vinyl only excursion - originally produced in the same time period as the classic tracks on the ode rammel reissue ep earlier in the year, glazed lay dormant on one of nails dats for many years before being rediscovered and given its first airing now on fof. chunky roughed up house beats are the order of the day here, a real peak time groove. new talent harry mccanna, resident at londons infamous undersound nights, debuts with act 1, a beautifully subtle bassline driven groove that rises above the pack with its super warm pad lending the track a warm and fuzzy hypnotic edge. romanian talent zece kicks off the flipside with the most contemporary offering, a breakbeat laden groove with a fx laden vocal snatch underpinned by that all important b-line whilst sonodab rounds things off with a beautifully deep and melodic slice of electro on brown study, the percussive elements giving rise to a hazy melodic pattern for those early hour excursions.

flying lotus fünftes album ist ein trip, das aehnlich wie das kernthema, der tod, von einer daseinsform zur naechsten springt, sich von einer klangdimension zur naechsten entwickelt. auf youre dead! verschmelzen klangwelten, visuelle welten, metaphysische welten, die virtuos miteinander verwoben einen vollkommen neuen stoff, ein transzendentes, bewusstseinserweiterndes plasma ergeben, das so nur in der Übergangszone oder zwischenwelt existieren kann. musikalisch orientierte sich flying lotus an den großen fusion-jazz-kollektiven der 1960er/1970er und an psychedelic-rock-lps. die anziehungskraft seiner klanglichen traumwelt ist in den letzten jahren so stark geworden, dass inzwischen auch schwergewichte aus anderen sphaeren wie kendrick lamar, snoop dogg oder jazzlegende herbie hancock davon angezogen werden. ein faszinierender, tief berührender trip.
