two deep and driving house tunes by baaz! since the release of his last sol 12inch „swimmer“ (sol5) quite a bit has happened: baaz founded his own successful label office recordings, he has also created a new moniker for his dub techno productions as -eric miller-. his love of dubby sounds and echo chambers can be experienced in „the reason“ and „ancestor s fun“, although it s obvious that baaz also stays true to his deep house roots. he skillfully combines spacial structures with his characteristic driving beats and organic sounds. -the reason- is a grooving light footed tune with a jumping bassline and develops, step by step, this driving energy, that will not let you go. -ancestor s fun- brings up the energy level with stronger beats and open high hats, but the playful warm sounds and drifting strings keeps the wonderful flow that we love to hear from baaz s productions

this is an official reissue of what am i gonna do for fun by the band pitch (1982 - new york city). this release also includes a fantastic remix or rework by tolouse low trax (toresch, salon des amateurs, düsseldorf). a few words from stuart shape, the producer: feels like it was done by another person. i remember getting the serge synthetiser to stay in tune was always a problem. we were fascinated with the new sampling that were just coming out, and kind of got carried away on the vocals. not sure what i was thinking about with the lyrics, guess maybe trying to figure out what i was supposed to be doing when i wasnt working or playing music unfortunately no other finished tracks from that era have survived. they recorded a lot, but finished and saved very little.

he might be an architect by profession, but in his spare time spanish producer jaime tellado sets forth his work with the construction of groove and the design of soundscapes. under his skygaze moniker, he’s built a name for himself far outside the scene he’s grown up in. with his ‘some fun’ ep, once again showcases his well-structured yet wild-flowing melodic groove, combining deep bass with an ambient touch.

charlie & jad said the main thing they were trying to create was music that was unpredictable, had twists, and turns. we think they succeeded. music is made for ears. we could describe it all we like. tell you its good, tell you its amazing. but you have ears, so decide for yourself.

following up with the llarose ep by joefarr comes a split ep with different takes on what should make you jack. dar embarks, a duo hailing from chicago lay out two tracks as a precursor to more to come. tracky and acidic spyboss will appease the inner bleep while zeddmore will fit and hit with the heaviest you ve got. johan platt of finland covers the opposite side of this ep with two attacks on jack himself. ranttali is a throwback to armani and acv days of distortion and punch while wailer slows it down and lets the swing fill the space.

nice price deal !!! new years deal - slow trippy acid by tight pants. -action increase the screaming this crazy guy with tight pants is another ep. because he fights evil with his synth-sword of samurai reincarnation has some say. trump only dance if maybe he beats these world would hate. tight pants! tight pants! yoga ! tight pants!-

argentinian producer, live act and tech whizkid alexis cabrera is back with a brand new release, a slice of stepping house, laced with minimal aesthetics on fun records, the recently christened label that he set up with fellow argentinian barem. the label emblem may be just an innocent looking balloon, but the contents of this vinyl release are far from lofty and full of hot air, instead grounding the listener through a mix of organic sound and digital dancefloor rhythms.

it s time to have fun in the murky again as the 4th ep arrives on platters courtesy of joefarr. this record, bearing joe s daughter s stylized name has been something of a special project here at fitm. originally intended for vinyl release on turbo recordings of montreal i couldn t stand it when i found the vinyl release was no longer planned. i got in touch with both joe and the kind folks at turbo and have licensed it for this vinyl release. it truly is a record i believe in.

taking a walk on the modern side of grime street, la vie cest facile crosses over and fuses different styles with electro, instrumental hip-hop, bass music, techno and jungle into a brooding masterpiece of disjointed and distorted beats

mono junks label dum records is back! in 1994 an untitled 12” ep emerged from helsinki, finland. it was produced by an unknown duo called coopers and released by dum records. that particular squelchy sounding piece of wax helped to establish the sound that was later to be known as finnish minimal techno. alongside sähkö recordings, dum was one of the mainstays of gloomy northern electronics until its death in 2007. after an extremely long hiatus both dum records and coopers have now resurrected and instead of their trademark minimalism they offer now a 3-piece ep full of techno maximality! * indian acid* is a wonky excursion in repetition topped with roland corporations classical tr-727 congas, * ixam* takes you back to the soundscapes of 90s dreary finnish acid and * maximal fun* is a 12-minute trip to the electronic kraut techno madness of the coopers. play loud and preferably in dark. coopers are back with a vengeance!

globally recognised and respected dj, live act and producer barem is pairing up with friend, live specialist and musical partner alexis cabrera to start the next chapter of their careers. this comes in the form of a brand new label, fun records, which the argentinian pair are launching as a way to inject some much needed character and humility back into the global dance scene.

s1 warsaw is back! after last years sampler including crooked disco debut from matat professionals it is time to get back to artists series with warsaw-based producers full lenght ep. dial b for fun time is a perfect soundtrack to memories of 90s teenager spending all day hanging around skate spots, driving car and listening to some noisy mixtapes, watching skateboarding movies and cheesy comedy flicks on vhs tapes or bombing downtown at night. sounds and styles blended in these four tracks vary from early dj shadows sublime beats, soundstreams disco-house pumpin, bjørn torskes nordic moods to mobb deeps lo-fi hardcore hip-hop instrumentals. all served with cheeky sense of humor and dose of irony.

fina records presents tyranny of fun, the debut ep from slow learner. the coining of the new alias slow learner, marks a new chapter and musical direction for an already established artist who is by no means new to the game.

there are things in life which are suitable and things in life which aren t suitable. the things which are suitable should be ignored and left for those who enjoyed being tucked into bed and being walked across the street with their hands being held. the things which aren t suitable are what you will probably have some fun with despite the bumps and bruises suffered as a result. the suitable nature of the unsuitability of the following cheek full of tongue provided by scott robinson, ben pest, nox, and norman mueller will hopefully not cause any permanent damage along the way.

dj support from rich medina, kev beadle, dj cash money, eavesdrop radio and kcrw. fatnice is multi talented to say the least. the avant garde mc, producer, singer, and writer grew up listening to tons of records and tapes from his aunts collections which were comprised primarily of soul and funk gems. a prolific house head, fatnice became entrenched in the boombap sounds of hiphop via the roar of melle melle rhyming the message in 1982. an avid writer of poetry fatnice found it addicting being able to combine rhymes with beats to create music.

emmas third strike comes from stuff, one of frances most exciting new talents. to have fun and pretender are only two examples of his producer skills but they already give you an impression of his work!

the >just for fun< ep starts with the title track just4fun, which in fact breathes fun and doesnt take itself too seriously. the funky and highly infectious keys and the butt shaking groove will remind you of a track that moodymann never made, but wishes he had. next comes unlimited01 with a joyful piano melody that would fit right into a french disco with a funkier version of alain delon behind the decks. still, the rhodes chords, the slow sexy groove, the vocal hooks will get you moving in no time. thang then goes into a more detroit beatdown direction with its deep chords and smooth pads. it creates a mellow atmosphere with an almost relaxed summer feeling. this is what a funky pimp would listen to on a night car drive. the ep ends with spiritual almost tribal rhythms. inspiration would be a nice soundtrack to a 70s orgy orchestrated by a groovy guru, surrounded by a magical circle of mystical dancers. over the top? sure, but the track would certainly get this party going.

dubbed a structural prodigy by mixmag, south londons joe syntax is back with >modus bass fun<, offering the very best in dancefloor d+b with buckets of bassline bounce.
