livity sound continues to be one of the most innovative labels of its era with another essential release, this time in the form of a debut long player from forest drive west. this extended 2 x 12” and digital release, apparitions lands in october 2018 and is a fascinating further development of the producer s intricate fusions of techno, dub and jungle. * the acclaimed uk artist has released two eps on the label before now, as well as on its sister label dnuos ytivil and the likes of hidden hawaii, appian sound, and london drum & bass outlet rupture. little is known about the london based producer but in just a couple of years he has established his own unique blend of complex rhythms and tactile sound design, distilling a rich history of uk musical influences into fresh new forms. * this record continues in that tradition with a mix of sparse rhythm tracks that contrast heavy weight drum programming with rich and deft sound design. from menacing and mysterious, to cinematic and hypnotic, it makes for a compelling and immersive experience. apparitions is a landmark release for one of the uk s most exciting new producers.

the alishan forest railway is a 86 km network of narrow-gauge railways running through the forests of alishan mountain in chiayi county, taiwan. during the spring months, the iconic red train passes through an endless array of cherry blossoms and small, untouched villages. this peaceful scene is set in contrast to the stories told by locals, of wandering spirits seen deep in the forest. the spirits are believed to be the lost souls of the 32 passengers, who perished in the tragic derailment of the train in 1981. burn a candle in remembrance when you play this record at the club.

after a debut outing on international black last year with his best friend mallard, lt graduates onto rhythm section intl with a stunning debut solo effort: forest floor.

for the fourth installation on boogie box records, appleblim links up with the middle east crew to deliver one of two eps planned for 2018. first up. two original tracks by the bristolian artist, vurstep and dream wisdom. signature appleblim crossover sound, floating between bass, d&b, electronica and house influences, with early carl craig/psyche/bfc and 4 hero watching over. on the b side, vurstep gets a rework by shed and forest drive west. always on point, shed does what he does best. a grooving old school flavored bass and breakbeats remix. followed by forest drive west s stripped down, mind humping, feet tapping basement flavor.

third longplayer from brooklyn based experimental post-punk trio the dreebs, consisting of eight songs and seven instrumentals.

forest flame is the debut solo effort of the texas-based shea mcgilvray. his previous works have been featured in compilation and remix releases on labels such as echovolt, shimmering moods, and bokhari’s swamp tapes. already getting support from best available technology and dj seinfeld

!k7 are pleased to announce forest swords as the next curator of the ever essential dj-kicks series. following acclaimed albums on ninja tune and tri angle, soundtrack and installation work, and remixes of the likes of bjork, matthew barnes aka forest swords has curated a 25-track compilation that draws a line between past inspirations and his current peers. like much of his own output, his dj-kicks skirts around pristine electronics and embraces more organic textures: 80s post punk (anna domino, dead can dance), classic 90s british electronica (orbital, mira calix), and smokey digi-dub (rhythm & sound), all rub up alongside some of the most forward-facing producers working today (demdike stare, laurel halo, fis). the compilation sifts through rhythms, shifting speeds and emotions: from pop icon neneh cherrys primal thudding to the zombified throb of exclusive forest swords track crow via deena abdelwaheeds clattering deconstructions to the euphoric two-step of djrum. its a collection of tracks that feels as restlessly curious and weighty as barnes own work. the double vinyl release includes a download code.

strange valleys, the 2018 full-length from starving daughters, is a progression as well as a shift in sound from the la band s already-stellar previous releases. make no doubt about it that the sound of progressive rock and psychedelia still play a big role here but there s certainly a greater influence from library music on the new lp. the starving daughters vinyl impressions blog, led by chris tillotson of the band, shared the music of chris s collection of which many were library lp s. these records seemed to have seeped into the mind, body, and souls of the whole band on this strange valleys lp. everything from the instrumentation, the attention to melody, to the track-length shows the large appreciation they have for library music. that being said, this moog-heavy, psychedelic-prog-funk, california-themed record is certainly unique and adventurous. winding through the exotic roads of strange valleys is certainly a trip well worth taking over and over again.

house heaven on 12-inch. a lofty description, but one that fits most excellent unlimited’s latest offering perfectly. in 1990, boy george and simon rogers (the fall) made a record called “generations of love” for george’s post-culture club project, jesus loves you. legendary nyc dj and producer bruce forest was one of several big names brought in to do a set of remixes, and the better days veteran got to work on several contrasting versions of the cut. the mixes heard here, done at london’s famed olympic studios, are slices of utter ecstasy for anyone who has a taste for ‘90s deep house euphoria and ambient dancefloor excursions, but were unfortunately lost amongst the countless alternate mixes. suffice to say, meu is taking matters into our own hands and has remastered and properly packaged these tracks, directly sourced from forest himself, with the full intention to give this erstwhile dollar-record the respect it deserves. the jazz mix opens with a winding piano solo by andy whitmore (spandau ballet, terence trent d’arby, soul ii soul) that lures the listener into a hypnotic groove that could quite comfortably go on forever but here is constrained by our modesty and the 12-inch format. (a tip for the adventurous dj: flipped to 33rpm the tune becomes an epic balearic chugger, a late-night psylocibic alternative for the heads.) the synth-heavy sounds of the ambient mix on the flip side harken back to the chill-out rooms of the ‘90s but twenty-some years later bring the best kind of vintage charm.

after recent excellent techno releases on livity sound and its sub-label dnuos ytivil, as well as a killer dnb releases for rupture ldn & hidden hawaii, forest drive west steps up with something different for appian sounds.

deep house excursions for the eclectic mind. includes a beautiful remix by uk prodigy forest drive west supported by françois x, simo cell, peverelist, riverette, dos attack, sandro, san soda, al kassian

after quietly dropping 2 quality 12”s on the limehouse based hothouse akute back in 2015 and 2016, dempa is back with a four track ep that remains faithful to his particular brand of deeply twisted beat-smithery. trusted into the hands of little beat different, there was no way these ruff and ready dance floor ready demos were going to slip away.
these four tracks delve deep into techno territory. built for the dancefloor and dancers who possess a somewhat acquired taste. both sides of the record are perfectly balanced. the first is quicker in tempo, with the second one focusing on the more psychedelic side of things. dempa cooks with the finest ingredients and naturally the results are full of the right flavours.

a leading light in explorative techno mininalism & drum & bass revivalism at the same time. highly recommended! tip!

ruff cherry comes back after probably too long on midgar, with forest of thorns ep. the record has been in the making since more than a year, but will finally hit the stores in a month. after the well received ritual ep (september 2015) the cork based producer delivers once again messages on behalf of some obscure alien civilizations.

topping off another slow year at assistance hq, mr assister channels some slightly darker shades for the second release on beam, aimed squarely in the vague direction of the dance floor. in masonic forest , a rabble of delirious bongos get blown off course, trudging endlessly through the tangled grounds of the grand lodge. down below on jordan , drums pound incessantly and chants echo from the murky distance, valiant but ultimately inert on their futile march to nowhere.

we are very happy excited to reveal to you the next installment of alfresco disco records. seka is a close friend and has played and raved at many of the alfresco disco parties. not only a great selector, here he clearly demonstrates he is no slouch in the studio either. from his studio in the heart of bristol, seka has used an analogue approach and his trusty mpc to carve out three satisfying, sample heavy house cuts that are unique and full of character. on the remix duties we enlisted the portugese maestro tiago, a resident at the brilliant lux club in lisbon who brings a live, percussive vibe to the release. enjoy!

* livity sound are very happy to announce the return of forest drive west to the label, following up last years * system / show them* 12 inch.
* this time, the smoke laced atmospherics and broken rhythms are reconfigured for maximum impact on jinx , whilst scanners subtler late night grooves and grit laden percussion produce a melancholic ebb and flow.

exotic tracks from the fruit loving dutch producer.

have a nice day

with the distinct ethnic-driven sound of deep forest, eric mouquet belongs to the few unique pioneers of electronic music. his highly recognizable sounds defined the concept of world music and shaped the all-new sound of ethnic-electronica. deep forest’s latest releases include deep brasil, deep africa and deep india where eric mouquet explores the unique musical expressions of some exciting cultures.
on his new album “evo devo” eric mouquet has gone even further – and nevertheless simultaneously back to the “bohemian feel” of his early works. his tonal craftsmanship has developed into an own artistic language. every track explores a distinct emotion. you can almost feel and follow eric’s inner motivations and share his musical journey to the frontiers of contemporary electronic music and beyond.

basil & rogers is a sleazy, california disco duo made up of heru (dj) johnny basil and body rogers. basil, a multi-instrumentalist, long-time record collector, and energy healer is a man that s been making music for a long time under many different guises and in many different styles. heru avenger (acid/psych rock), non stop (electronic/free jazz), baast (kraut rock/jazz funk), and kandi jones (slut rock) are just a few of his projects, past and present. most of this music has been around for the entirety of the 90 s and 2000 s without being heard because despite basil s outspoken appearance (described by many as looking like iggy pop s twin brother and would never be caught wearing a t-shirt no matter the location) he s very quiet about his musical output. body rogers is also part of the non stop group and is a master of electronics and engineering. on the basil & rogers project the two have made a disco 12- that is influenced by classic-era dance music while still being completely unique and far from conforming. it s crazy, it s sexy, and it s sleazy. tune in .

stunning debut from london based artist forest drive west for livity sound. * system revolves around an irresistible deep and tripping pneumatic broken drum groove, propelling the track through ten tense minutes of foggy atmospherics. * show them is similarly immersive but this time with nods to the densely smoked out uk dancefloors of 2004, austere and hypnotic.

born in the forest, living on the edge. utrecht based endfest delivered solid serving of the fat beef. very fair four tracker full of freaked out melodies underlaid by juicy 808 drums.

two hypnotic tracks, both trademarked by deep elements and strongly pervaded with a dub flavour, which turns more and more into a gentle bass drum are now added to our precious collection of love songs for dragons. pfr002 signed alpi

direct from the deepest corner of the southern hemisphere, a.k.a. perth, western australia, good company records is a new outlet for the music of our west coast underground , born out of four years of parties and a newly-opened specialist record store of the same name. release number zero-zero-two comes from north perth riddim doctor phil stroud, two extended instrumentals offered generously across two sides of the same 12- black plastic disk, equally suited to solo meditation or dance floor evocation! side a is drum workout the forest , sounding in the mix or on the breeze not unlike a mid-summer, mid-noughties villalobos set echoing through a european wood. side b is the beachside dawn of yemaja , a glistening ode to the goddess of the same name that features the dewy key-tones of yazist vaapa s jack doepel. limited quantities

tck are gerd janson , who otherwise runs the spledid running back label and philipp lauer, who produces grand music under his own name and is half of the fantastic arto mwambe. they just remixed sven väth among many other fab projects, atop that are both irresistable deejays and have a pedigree of being some of the nicest blokes that we know! but that all said, you havent eventually heard the best. its called pf01.02.03.04 and are their tracks made for this record.

blackrose records returns with his 8th vinyl release. adam shelton is the main player here, backed up by the rising star john dimas. two originals + one remix, excellent cuts for the dancefloor.

nach seinem vielbeachteten einstand 2010 mit *holkham drones* liefert der engländer luke abbott nun den langerwarteten nachfolger auf border community ab. dabei erzeugt er aus improvisierten liveaufnahmen eine stürmische bewegung, die *wysing forest* zu einem album macht, das größer ist als die summe seiner einzelteile und auf jedem fall in einem lauf durchgehört werden sollte.

cgi is proud to present the debut of 2 new duos who are experts at making their synths and sequencers sweat divine moisture. lyman-alpha forest is a new collaborative project between producers grey people (proper trax, finale sessions) and talk (deconstructure). as a duo they work to bring acid into new territories with their heavy, low-slung approach to producing melodic-and-spacious yet tight-and-focused slow-burning club-weapons. whether or not this is due to a stroke of compositional genius or if it is simply a side effect of the high levels of sizzurp found in the tap water in their hometown of nashville is irrelevant, but the effect is intoxicating all the same. travel 7 hours up i-65 and you will end up somewhere in chicago where afterburner spends long cold winter nights painting vivid synthesized tapestries as epic as the citys skyline. the duo of nicholas reed (windbreaker) and travis thatcher (voice of saturn) employ an aresnal of modular and analog gear to produce lushly cinematic tracks that chug along like classic moroder productions while simultaneously evoking the rich melodicism of kraftwerk. whether you listen to them at home in the headphones or on the dancefloor in the club, these tracks will take you on a wild ride.

afmb - a forest mighty black , with a slamming deep 3x12 inch vinyl, including cd (in a cardboard sleeve).
