returning from the unknown space of his debut, martianman is back to refine his label’s ethos, continuing the exploration of sci-fi themes & deep ambience with vol.2 the opener, “got a dream”, bubbles up from submerged atmospheres, as a crisp, rattling break fights its way through the fog. martianman once again shows off his ear for textures, subtle vocals fade in and out of an entrancing, bottomless pad. a dark-meets-light journey through the cosmos. “amber fields” comes straight from the halcyon days of the mid-90’s intelligent movement. a light, rolling hot pants break gives way to a myriad of pads, strings and bleeps, each element shifting neatly throughout the fold. fans of the good looking vibe would do well to pick up this piece of subtle, understated beauty.

new years deal - , fresh from guesting on the debut powell lp sport (xl recordings), and having released on labels such as the tapeworm, entracte, and halcyon veil, dale cornish now presents clap - four rhythmic experiments that explore the mesmeric tones of the digital clap using the ever-popular tr909 clap pre-set. sharing similarities in intention with n.m.os as strict as possible approach, pieces subtly evolve and mutate around the clap to generate motion, tension and action. oolovka takes an unashamedly joyous look at the clap, where melodic repetition whirls and whirls until it takes on a form of mesmerising minimalism – perhaps taking its cues from a modern take on steve reichs ‘music for 18 musicians’ as a backdrop for the clap to playfully roll over and mutate into a sound which is both refreshingly light hearted yet steeped in rhythmic experimentation. cxema takes us a into a tenser, more claustrophobic space where a heads down pulse keeps the body locked until the fog is occasionally broken and the tension momentarily cleared via delayed claps and familiar sonar tones. this vibe continues into isolate with cornish upping the anxiety by using the clap as a foreboding menace. coming across like an inspired soundtrack to a military performance piece the concern appears to revolve around strict precision and strict movement and how the clap can be used to enforce and heighten this functional display. before encore winds things down by stripping things back to the bare minimum for movement – a single effected clap gradually layers and layers itself to create pleasingly odd high tension atmospherics solely through a meticulous process of delicate rhythm and repetition.

a slow burning showcase of slowly evolving sonic substances and memories, a dense fog on a barren land steadily revealing the artefacts and objects hidden behind rocks and beneath the shadows, a static art piece hanging for months in a gallery rarely visited, allowed to decay into a beautiful immersive, solitary existence.
this release is mastered and cut by rashad becker in two parts, pressed onto heavy 180g wax with an lss logo hand-stamped centre, encased in a black matte silver screen-printed sleeve, including a b&w matte a6 postcard insert.

manchester native alex coulton has nurtured a reputation for creating sub-heavy rollers thanks to 12”s for the likes of black acre, livity sound and bloc. with gamma ray burst, the next in his series of releases on london low-end specialists tempa, coulton consolidates his sound to deliver some of the most sparse, rhythmic work of his career. with the record’s title track, coulton weaves from hard-hitting kicks, through to dizzying tribal polyrhythms the whole time maintaining a minimal, space driven atmosphere that remains omnipresent throughout the track’s most intense moments. ‘ground zero’ revels in its spaciousness, allowing reverb to flood into the negative space between flashes of heavyweight techno percussion and saturated ripples of synth while the pulsating kicks that underpin ‘alpha decay’ are punctuated with bleak, discordant bells, rhythmic bass hits and hypnotic filtered percussion. showing his diverse abilities, ‘phase two’ is an exercise in measured restraint, as a cacophony of clicks and hisses come together to disorientate before forming a driving rhythm section before coulton maximises his expansive elements on the fog-tinged ‘ascent’. closing with the steady flowing, brighter-hued melodic work of ‘distant resonance’, alex coulton has created a masterful collection of experimental tech-focused electronica that bewilders, intrigues and will draw the listener in with each play.

after excellent debut album on mule musiq,oskar is back with four remixed tracks. legendary osunlade remixed most club friendly track on the album and it’s more dj tool jazzy deep house. oskar’s buddy edward remix is simply epic.very imaginative breakbeats track. frankfurt’s bodin&jacob’s remix is kind of mash up of some tracks on the album. it’s kind of early electro stuff. metamatics is well known in the end of 90’s.we like his moniker norken. hope you dig some of remixes!

expanding on their psychedelic-soul sound, the 11th sky continues the surreal storytelling of last years aeons ep, which also featured kimbra and deva mahal on vocals. the brand new album is described as david lynch meets motown by frontman and producer mara tk, and indeed, a sense of the otherworldly is present here within ewh s layered electronic production and maras soaring vocals. tracks like go slow walk into the genre-fog amongst drum machines and synthesizers. meanwhile i light a candle with it s piano, chopped vocal samples, towering strings and 808s strikes right at the heart of soul music. electric wire hustle s last album love can prevail found support from the new york times, bbc radio and wax poetics, and won best electronic album at the new zealand music awards, continuing a track record of critical acclaim that started with their debut self-titled album. the 11th sky is due out on september 30th on lp, cd

cloud corridors is the first release of jan philipp longerich alias processed.sunshine and also the debut on his imprint fertile imagination music, which stands for puristic grooves, deep and dreamy vibes and an all in all raw sound that sticks tight to the original idea of a track. inspired by different formations of clouds and their movements, the record takes the lsistener from huge cloud castles in wolkenburg through cloud corridors down into the dark vibe of the fog. minimalistic drum manchine patterns, deep pads, hypnotic sequences and morphing basslines give the record its warm, lively and feral character. the lp was completely created out of live sessions with analog equipment and each track was recorded in one take. - these bouncing analog grooves are made for after hours in the early morning.

after a quick 4 years hiatus, filled with releases on innervisions, maeve and a couple of remixes, aera is finally back on his own aleph music imprint with 3 unique tracks. a1. two planets is the most obvious track of the ep. an exercise in outsider trance, a pulsating, polyrhythmic synth propels the track forward, the intricate 707 pattern keeps a steady pace, while background strings provide all the drama. b1. stylistically reminiscent of aeras first releases on aleph music, black glitz is the deepest track of the bunch. floating on a cloud of dreamy pads and voices, that arpeggio makes you realise immediately who you are dealing with. b2. maskull is a rather ambiguous little tune. somewhat rough around the edges, sparkling in the darkness of late nights, dwelling in voices and fog, this is the one for the heads.

experimental synth quartet survive’s sophomore full-length and relapse debut is a dark, sweeping exercise in analog synth mastery. the pulsating, 9-song instrumental release showcases immense diversity between tracks - rr7349’s compositions range from grim tom-tom thunder to space-age epics, pairing tense plodding grooves with meditative ambience and driving, rhythmic beats. inspired by idm and horror scores alike, rr7349 is simultaneously ominous and hopeful, tense and relaxed, percussive and melodic. additionally, two of the group’s members recently scored the soundtrack for the hit new sci-fi / horror show stranger things on netflix. rr7349 is a unique addition to the relapse discography, and unquestionably survive’s best work to date.
the vinyl release includes a download code.

from the disputed border somewhere between lancashire and yorkshire, g..h. claims a no mans land where he is free to decimate distinctions between black metal, grime and concre&#768,te techno by drawing upon an elusive, metaphysical force that’s exclusively common to music rooted in that region, from muslimgauze and autechre thru shackleton and demdike stare. the inarguably mongrel housebound demigod is g.h.’s debut solo album, following the ground ep (2011) and his involvement with the hexed pendle coven project & hate, alongside miles whittaker and andy stott, respectively, between 2003 - 2009.

the t-rex is loose! roars can be heard from the house of uktura. ukt apa and ascon bates are collaborating and present ukt003. three tracks, all of them functioning techno, take you on a trip into the past. the elder” rousingly leads you through the prehistoric landscape and makes you curious for more. ton” advances progressively, like escaping the t-rex which gives up the chase in the last second. isn’t that just pure thrill! fog and mist” is reminiscent of a prehistoric dawn, smooth sound with rough touches. there are many ways to interpret it, but one thing is clear. all of it is techno!

up first on the ep comes splendid -copper-. a pure 909 detroit funky work out and a dancefloor-filler at its best. with his name kind of a bow to the originators and the vinyl history. waiting for the drop business. the second tune -memories- is harder and darker. it comes with a huge atmosphere. you can see a dark room with just a strobe and fog in front of you. last one is the title track -akira-. its more experimental with a broken beat and a vibe which feels like a walk through chernobyl. one for the heads.

seems like somethings going on across the pond at the moment with seemingly blossoming, or at least rejuvenated scenes in the united states and canada. our last handful of releases on freerange have included artists from montreal, tujuana, pittsburgh and chicago and were about to add los angeles to the list with this new one from justin jay and ulf bonde. the young producers have been steadily building steam with a number of fine releases the last couple of years and we welcome them to freerange for their debut ep entitled indecision. the title track sets the mood with a low-slung, super-deep house groove complete with an intimate vocal and a charming simplicity which contributes to the powerful end result. elements come into focus then disappear in a fog of reverb whilst playful guitar picks add a live jammed feel to the loping groove giving things a bob moses/francis harris kind of vibe

this time o.p.t. makes his debut record on 2 bit crew, with features from the german k.fog and the until now unknown meelon.

dead rail is a soundshaping railroad soaked in fog and cough.
dead rail is the breath that transforms light into smoke, smoke into brain waves and brain waves into some anamorphic sound blend.
dead rail is a walk through an eyeburning beat and runs on mandibular tracks.
dead rail is the dark corner of a party where the tones are stagnant in a motionless dynamic.
dead rail is the suspended activity of synapses while earing is driving the other senses.
dead rail is the dying frequency in your ear.
dead rail is noise from within.

the evening wind carries the sound of distant music. raindrops running down the window like glistening pearls. those small moments, unimposing yet so intense and unforgettable. its this kind of moments that makes the sound of dolph stand out. the pounding heaviness of the kickdrum and the sharp smack of the clap might be omnipresent – but its not these rhythmic elements that make the magic happen. rather, its those small moments of understatement: dubby delays, whirling through the air like leaves. long filter modulations, morphing through the soundscape like wafts of fog. colourful harmonies, popping up like sudden flowers. a 10 inch vinyl comes with the mellow stimulation named free of thoughts as well as x, a collaboration by dolph and levolt.

the girl and the chameleon will probably fall under the genre tags of acid, electro and techno but it is so much more. witschkowski has been responsible for exemplary electronics throughout his career and this latest is undeniably some of his best. the album sees the exaltics don a dust mask. warehouse parties, strobe lights and fog machines and the 90s underground acid scene are definite influences. but theres more. across thirteen tracks and two slabs of wax the jena artist takes you on a journey into his world. gnarled and clinical grooves, caustic 303 encounters, depraved dancefloor destroyers and soothing machine music. a sonic trek through tough and taut textures with touches of tenderness. an album that shows a depth of ability, an enviable talent and a knowledge of how to break floorboards.

herva is the artist name of hervè atsè corti. he lives in relative seclusion from the dance music world in the italian countryside around florence and is one of the most intriguing producers to work in house and techno for a while. his early musical life as a drummer, plus his extra-musical interests in engineering and electronics has informed a unique, freeform, and very tactile approach to dance music. its house and techno that doesnt adhere to the usual influences of detroit, chicago or berlin.

the long-awaited debut of alvin aronson, scientist-in-residence at white material. warm, sub-heavy grooves, with pristine, expert synth-work, and two subtly atmospheric interludes.

inklusive cd mit 15 tracks.

singular records number 7 is finally coming this september and this time it is a new collaboration between brendon moeller and myself. you will find two very distinct sides, a physical one on a side with “phaser core” and “the fog” which are heavy driving grooves for the floors, then a more “trippy” one on b side with “travelogue 1 & 2&#8243,,,, cuts, taking you into deeper vibes. i had a very great time working on this project with brendon, and as it was my very first collaboration, it’s been great to share this experience with such good producer. i hope you will enjoy the result ! marcelus.

hypnosaurus is a legendary and unclassifiable estonian techno act that proved to be very influential throughout its somewhat reclusive career. a great set with some real fire inside...some serious mindbenders on here. tip!

evan caminitis slow but steady progression towards electronic music from sand-swept guitar drone mirrors the pace of the music he makes. it has been measured, each move well-considered and clearly intentional. caminiti has immersed himself in electronic production on meridian, creating organic sounds through his machines, patching sounds that recall the brassy resonance of horns and hazy choral clusters. synthesizers hiss and crackle under layers of reverb and fog. sounds undulate and implode in upon themselves, with bursts of noise dropping in and out to create shadows of rhythm. caminitis electronic systems do not run autonomously - the sounds heard on meridian required real-time human interaction to bring them to life, and that human touch is essential to the mysterious atmosphere he produces on this new album.

lakehead returns to nabla for a second release by evolving his rendition of unearthly ambient pads with a tasty three track ep. two parts testimonial, one part interpretation, this record emulates ‘90’s groovy techno with modern melancholic keys tantalizingly hovering over fog drenched surfaces. the a-side sees us start with ‘1991,’ an assertively murky tune that immediately intoxicates with the introduction of keys that manage to invigorate and remain melancholic. following bewitching synth work, a throbbing energetic bass line pieces this number together while releasing suppressed emotion. a true anthem! on the flipside, nabla welcomes zaphod salmon to the fore with a well-taken, minimalist approach in remixing ‘1991’. by sparingly using snippets of hi-hats, claps and snares, zaphod creates formidable tension in an onrushing build up. this mixture of harmonic sounds sensibly reintroduces key elements of the original in a sensation shrouded in suffocating haze. ‚workout trax’ maintains the straight-faced groovy vibe with intermittent bleeps and filthy cymbal work whose jacking undercurrent will keep your feet moving. with its rhythmic nature beat, ‚workout trax’ represents machine funk at its finest. like the moon the strength of its gravitational pull will create a powerful tide swiping unsuspecting subject towards the dancefloor, whetting your appetite by precisely ending when the hypnotic swirl begins to form

where his previous effort, 2014s *the hollow organ*, dealt in dense, distressed sonics, *olympic mess* is younger responding to a period spent engaged with loop-based industrial music, dub techno, and balearic disco. these musical references, all of which can induce hypnotic states and feelings of euphoria, inform ten evocative aural landscapes which unfurl over the course of an hour and act almost as a counterpoint to the turmoil that spawned them.
mastered and cut by rashad becker at d&m, pressed on 140g 2x12 inch lp, download code included. features photography by kim thue and artwork by bill kouligas.

the 5th release on wax for karton label. the amsterdam-based ferro comes with *8 or 9*, fellow dutchman b.m.u. on his first release ever with the hypnotizing *fog* and from germany and for the first time on karton comes daniel madlung with *vawpol*.

following his eps *remember* (music of deep intrigue, cloaked in an atmospheric fog - resident advisor) and *when the watchman saw the light*, gacha returns to apollo records with another contemplative and composed record, his debut album *send two sunsets*. the album spans many moods and textures - the sparse pads of opening/closing tracks *abandoned city* and *blue distance*, soothing static of *waterfall* and guitar work. limited edition translucent blue vinyl with download code included.

amazing record! re-release of a classic sebastien san track, with some excellent remixes from deepchord.

opener -she loves it- layers graceful elements, drifting sounds, pirouetting percussion and lets them slowly roll in like a thick fog. bvoice,anrilov & sickdisco deliver a more minimalistic version of -she loves it-. this guys are a great trio from moscow, analog gurus, already released on pro-tez, highway, time has changed, body parts. on the other side we have another piece of material from kirik called somewhere, which does the same job with similar elements. its melodious drum loop is the fulcrum around which densely layered hi-hats, shakers and various pads bounce and rotate. label boss, dirty culture deliver a more driven house version of somewhere, a more digestiv aproach. good vibes and melodic grooves from eastern europe, on wax!

the off-kilter beauty on the surface of panoram s music belies the undercurrent of curdled visions and nightmares that reside below, indeed his music has once been described as sounding -like a painting by edward hopper hanging in the living room of bill pullman and patricia arquette in lost highway-.

early support from raresh, fred p. julietta, dana ruh!! after a first year of spellbinding releases, sol asylum returns in 2015 with a fresh various artist’s compilation featuring three finely crafted tracks from the sol asylum crew to kick-start the labels second year. bringing together a family of artists who have been there since the very beginning. starting off with the odd boys danny and damian, we go all the way back to the first release with a brand new remix of broken spell. whisking us away to a parallel universe of this odyssey, this remix is masterly conjured into a percussive exploration of the planet of odd. following the odd ones, julie marghilano unleashes another side of sol asylum with dragon drops. she unveils her known atmospheric soundscapes but with a heavily detailed rhythmic twist, made by experimenting with her field recordings to create a more stripped down sound that shows her range and versatility. last but certainly not least, miss jools calima brings the ep to a triumphant closure like a mystical fog. the elements of the track melt into drowning synths with crackling percussion and the elegantly designed grooves that levitate us steadily through the hypnotic melodies. the percussive strength of each track, while still being diverse links this collaboration of like-minded family members together as a cohesive potion.

amazing dub techno. new wavereform by qindek. 1o years of experience as an artist, including gigs at amsterdam’s legendary trouw and his ground breaking appearance on darko essers wolfskuil label speak a clear language on the 4th release of our artist series. a mighty and warm bassdrum, razor sharp hihats, evolving percussions paired with athmospheric shadows throughout the deepness of dub will easily let you imagine the view out of qindek’s studio window onto a fog layered meadow. this two tracker by deventer based qindek was made to explore well hidden spaces in your mind and on the dancefloor.

180g vinyl with printed sleeve.
federsen returns to fifth interval for another sublime instalment of dance floor friendly dub-techno. dewpoint is an altogether tighter affair when compared to the label s first release, point reyes. the drums are taut and razor-sharp, propelling the listener effortlessly through a dense fog of ferric clouds, swelling to fill the outer-reaches of the echo chamber. a highly polished metallic production style that can be compared to some of andy stott s early and classic works. tomas rubek remixes dewpoint for the b-side, remaining faithful to the original track s structure but viewing it through a tinted lens. dewpoint s chords become iridescent, kick drums fall into a straighter pattern and are backed by further dusty percussion, shifting the original into spheres inhabited by the likes of rod modell and fluxion.

in recent times, phantasy have provided the soundtrack for many adrenaline fuelled nights and hazy mornings with critically acclaimed albums from daniel avery (drone logic) and connan mockasin (forever dolphin love & caramel). their latest discovery ghost culture emerges from the shadows to make the space between those two worlds his own. since announcing his arrival one year ago with a debut single mouth, the london based artist has built up a feverish following with a further pair of ear catching singles. this trio of sell-out releases, each pressed on invisible vinyl, offered a glimpse of a rare talent whose music was just as at home in the club as it was in ones bedroom. now phantasy, are proud to present his self titled debut album, a collection of ten tracks rich in emotion, musicality and sonic artistry.

the one and only radio slave is back on rb. this time with retro futuristic breakbeat-house and -techno. children of the e comes in two mixes for different moods and some locked grooves for double copy wizardry. inspired by the london warehouses of yesterday, fuelled by evian bottles and made in a fog horn frenzy. or as the man himself puts it: matt edwards goes back to his roots with children of the e: just another white kid from catford. ultimately, were all children of the e(arth)!

die budos sind weit gereist und weit gekommen — sie haben auf vier kontinenten gespielt — seit den anfängen der band. eine gefühlte lebenszeit an welt-tourneen und wöchentlichen bandproben floss in die entstehung von burnt offering mit ein ... und die reise ist noch lange nicht vorbei. so lange es neues publikum zu begeistern und musikalisches neuland zu erforschen gilt, wird sie nichts stoppen. *wir haben unsere mission noch längst nicht erfüllt*, erklärt profilio. *wir sind immer noch hungrig.*
die vinyl-lp erscheint im klappcover inklusive.

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.

200 copies only! this mood swing track by robots need oil proved one of the best selling ever on the artreform and recently got signed to the defected ith mix by nic fanciulli. as such it makes sense to get the track remixed and this time it is joss and trav & volta.
