2x12 inch lp in gatefold sleeve, including cd-copy of the album.
a few years ago, a-trak got together with the pioneering house/garage producer armand van helden to form the playful dance duo duck sauce, and they quickly scored a vast international hit with *barbra streisand*. now, nearly four years after that song landed, they are finally ready to release *quack*, their giddy and engaging debut album, which features singles like *radio stereo*, *it s you*, and, yes, *barbra streisand*. the album is not a typical dance album but a whole lot of fun: quack pushes the boundaries of house music and sampling into an absurdly visual listening experience, interwoven with skits, scratching and irresistible loops.

when you dream where does the light come from? there is a light that has clarity as great or greater than the daylight vision, and a lucidity of color that s beyond how we see color now ... i m interested in the point where this meets the imaginative vision that comes from seeing what we want to think of physical reality as outside, because it has a lot to do all which how we create reality. - james turell
within the walls, lighting(s), james turrell built spaces of solid material. the aim is not to also penetrate the foundations, passing through space, leading us to consider the immaterial, the mind. divergent ways first four compositions much like the four first light compositions, have sought to externalise the imaginative vision making it apparent.

following on from his 2012 autoreply debut the model steps up again with a precise, deadly-effective two tracker. as a producer he can never be pigeon-holed serving up his mysterious blends of deep, robotic, space- funk across labels like traum schallplatten, crosstown rebels and his own clone powered adult central imprint. night times the right time finds the romanian in fine-form laying down punchy drums with pulsating-bass, persistent chords and analog synth tension. flip the disc for wolf and you get a darker, dub-driven take over the same infectious, floor-shaking beats. long tracks, mastered to perfection and playable to the max - check it.
SAUDADE (180G LP)
12 Inch
11.04.14
saudade ist eine spezifisch portugiesische form des weltschmerzes. es läßt sich mit traurigkeit, wehmut, sehnsucht oder sanfte melancholie nur annähernd übersetzen. das wort steht für das nostalgische gefühl, etwas geliebtes verloren zu haben, wohlahnend, dass es nie wieder zurückkommt. das album ist stark beeinflusst von klassikern wie antonio carlos jobim, gal costa und luis bonfá, aber auch serge gainsbourg, ennio morricone und modernen künstlern wie der electro-samba-pionierin isabelle antena. saudade entstand mit hilfe einer vielzahl von gastmusikern.

2x12 Inch
11.04.14
dehnert has continued to steer his fachwerk label through the techno undergrowth and it has now amassed more than 25 releases in all. at the heart of the labels output has been dehnerts own increasingly experimental techno and this new album is testament to the producers continued exploration of the form. where framework was, in the words of mike himself, focussed on the heavy techno form, this album explores broken bass, swinging house and beatless electronic experimentalism amongst other things. i love to release music. i still enjoy the album writing process very much, says mike, before adding, i have noticed that sometimes the succe ss of a track depends on the light at club, which is why the album is called lichtbedingt, meaning depends on light! the album starts off with a suitably sombre intro that features cold, slowly shifting synths.

following on from killawatts bring down the walls ep at the tail end of last year osiris music continues to expand their sonic boundaries as they move in 2014, with their first release of the year coming in the form of sleepers simulation theory ep. experimenting for the very first time with fm synthesis, the ep features seven tracks of thunderous production the majority of sounds for which sleeper drew from a mere four oscillators in a bid to recalibrate his production skills. the resulting record is far more than the sum of its component parts and, save for the skulking, static soaked tension of meth, moves with relentless force and purpose throughout.the simulation theory ep sees sleeper taking his already deft grasp of both dubstep and techno production and fusing them to a body of pummelling forward momentum perfectly suited to set osiris music off on what promises to be a bold and progressive year.

REFLECTION (ROD REMIX)
12 Inch
21.03.14
following his well received fabric mix comp in december 2013, ben sims returns to his own theory imprint with yet another ring release in the form of *reflection*, which features two original new tracks, a remix from rod and a vinyl exclusive. the eponymous opener is a strident, 909 + 707 driven affair that fuses overlapping, stereoscopic tones to a gently distorted and brutalist groove that sits somewhere between dance mania and detroit. *break glass* is the second original on offer and has been a heavily requested track for the past few months. the perfect partner to *reflection*, *break glass* is similarly overdriven but heavy on the sort of mechanical funk that sims does so well. rods version of *reflection* is a linear assault which ebbs and ows with purpose throughout a linear and intense arrangement while sims remix of *break glass* zeros in on bone rattling percussive aesthetics and vox samples, in much demand after featuring on his fabric mix cd.

THE AQUAPLANO SESSIONS (2X12 LP)
2x12 Inch LP
05.03.14
when the aquaplano records were first released in 2008 and 2009, emerging out of hardwax with little fanfare, they were distinctly out of step with the way techno appeared to be heading. the minimal detour was reaching its logical endpoint, and producers were returning to the 1990s for inspiration, with berghain and sandwell district at the vanguard of a new techno movement. what the aquaplano sessions shared in common were slower bpms and finding inspiration in the 1990s, but there they parted ways. the influences these italians were drawing on were rather different, returning to tribal rhythms and ambient textures to sketch out a much more heady, psychedelic form of techno.

SPACE DISCO (10 INCH)
10 Inch
12.02.14
*it all started in 1974 with the purchase of my first mini moog and another 70s dream machine, a white mellotron m 400.* so starts klaus hoffmann of his 40 years love affair with the mellotron. moving from prog-rock guitarist to cosmic disco warrior in a space of a few years, the birth of cosmic hoffmann would lead to a number of classic kosmiche albums through-out the 1980s. before this though came space-disco. initially recorded in 1978 after endless late night sessions exploring the new realms of this free form electronic music, the first incarnation was recorded live to tape for a failed film project. an uplifting spaced-out synth journey, it was the later reworked version that would go on to become the lost cult classic. with added disco syncopation taking the track into interstellar spheres, it appeared only as a flipside of cosmic hoffmanns first and last single, *weltraumboogie*, in 1982. unfortunately the release did not make much impression at the time but has become highly sought-after for the more leftfield dj and music lovers in the years since. now fully licensed and remastered, the inclusion of the unreleased 1978 original will be only add to the collectors dream.

odd socks 006 comes in the form of a collection of remixes. max graef gets the ball rolling with his sophisticated take on glenn astro & imyrminds >kdim<. a hypnotic patchwork of original themes and maxs refined style. rounding off the a-side, imyrmind weaves a psychedelic web of saines fragile tones. schizophrenic, squiggly, and finally jersey jackin. on the b-side, james creed presents a shuffling housed-up version of josh t & arkists slow jam, >fleabag<. re-appropriating its faux-vintage stabs into a dreamy central motif matched with warm portamento-laced basslines. finally, josh t closes the record with an ultra deep workout in his interpretation of james creeds >undone<. sustained strings and ice cold hi-hats meet muted percussion in this classicly fashioned revision.
BEGINNING AN ENDING (INCL BABY FORD RMX) ** VINYL ONLY **
12 Inch
10.02.14
daze maxim adds another episode to his practice of long-form explorations, on this his second release for lisbon’s assemble music. this time hes joined by a master in this field, baby ford, whose remixes over the past few years continue his own distinctive development of extended minimal house trips. dazes beginning an ending rides a skippy, loose beat for several minutes, the snares and hats gradually opening up as wordless vocalizations exclaim and interject with increasing regularity, the bass bumping contentedly underneath. pads join the equation for an intricate midsection – evoking memories of alcachofa-era happy experimentalism that nonetheless fit within daze maxims disciplined and dancefloor-oriented approach.peter ford recasts the original into his now unmistakable soundspace, where the push and pull between front-and-centre rhythmic components and evanescent background atmospherics creates that recognizable but undefinable sense of emotion, felt but unexplained. in ford’s world there isnt anything as simple as a beginning or an end, so the remix provides a valuable counterpoint to the original. given their now impressive track record, its no surprise that assemble music has pulled off another cohesive statement that works equally on the body and the mind.
beginning with tape experimentation, noise excursions and long-form drift and drone musics, love cult have steadily built up a discography based on decomposing and deconstructing. know ep is the first vinyl statement that sees the russian duo dive headlong into beat-forms and movement music.
