two years in the making, with tunes recorded in 4 different countries, >cant help it< aims to be a modern prototype for further directions in future r&b and soul music.

g. love & special sauces self-titled album is their debut and has reached gold status. on this record you can find their signatures tune >cold beverage<, featuring lighthearted jive lyrics and funky musical accompaniment, the video to this song got heavy rotation on mtv and it put them on the map. >this aint living< is a precursor to the comforting philly soul style that would be explored more thoroughly on their next album. >town to town< adds variety to the album with its slow-as-molasses blues style. g. love & special sauces debut serves as the musical foundation on which the group would build its future sound.

boston beat boi tanner ross is finally back, with another embodiment of his signature take on future efunk. ranging from creamy nostalgic r&b featuring pillow talk, slow hands and jesse rennix to tripped out weirdness in collaboration with lonely c and 80s synthesis romance with jules born, the straight to the moon ep on double standard will take you from palm-fringed miami sands to deep outer space. across five originals (side a and b on pure white 10?) and two instrumentals, tanner ross once again casts his sonic spell with a master class in originality with support from select members of the wolf + lamb collective, having already made his artistic footprint on labels land no.19.

a time machine appeared to us recently in a cloud of smoke and a giant portal of light. out of the portal a smoking piece of futuristic metal emerged and fell onto our floor. closer examination revealed it to be a time capsule sent from the future. a message from the year 2043, it contained diagrams of futuristic machines from what looks to have been the studio sessions of the recordings presented here. here is what we found, a 2 track ep (plus remixes) from artists from the future. recordings made 21 years from now but from artists who you may have already heard of today.

earnest endeavourss third ep comes from the cult new york and los angeles experimental mc and producer duo of jimmy jams and bobby evans aka widows. their self titled widows ep is a wildly creative debut release of drums, raps and electronics that sounds like the future but uncannily like a distant past - utopian, poetic, bass-driven music underpinned by the utter freedom of creative expression.

the second episode of the brand new avantgarde label sees the label co-owner himself dabs, joining forces with the melbourne based producer safire and the legendary mc lowqui.hideout is a stomper. minimal noisy hits grab you into a ultra-catchy riff bassline, carried on by punchy drumlines and big percussions stabs. heavily supported by the likes of icicle, ant tc1, optiv & btk, heavy1. flipside is frome the bulgarian promise l 33, we are pretty sure you are going to hear big things from him in the near future. complex things is ultraminimal and dark, with great identity and interesting snares and crunchy hits. definately reckonizable everytime after the first listening!

beyond white noise, way past pink noise, is a sonic treasure chest unearthed by beyond the wizards sleeve for their long awaited new single … the sound of >black noise<. hypnotic, widescreen and with a killer low end boom, >black noise< marks the return of erol alkan and richard norris future freak beat duo on 12 inch vinyl.
flip the twelve over for a gentler, more baroque approach. >door to tomorrow< recalls the pastoral beauty of the left banke at their finest. a classical motif meets euros childs yearning, lilting vocal, a sunkissed, melodic, string and harmony laden treat.

nach touren rund um den globus kehrten eleanore und jason zurück in ihr abgedunkeltes studio und arbeiteten an dem hypnotisierendem nachfolger zu ihrem beeindruckenden debüt. >red night< wirkt wie eine meditation über trennung und wiederfindung, über fast verloren gegangene liebe und die lang nacht zu ihr zurück. der thith sound vermählt furchtlos minimalismus und abstraktion mit grossartigen melodien. eindringliche stringarrangements werden von treibenden rhythmen und eleanores faszinierender stimme überrannt. >red night< ist ein trip durch die schwarze grossstadtnacht, in der zeit sich dehnt, geschwindigkeit bricht, und gitarren in donner und herzklopfen eintauchen, bei immer intensiver werdenden vocals, je länger die nacht dauert. nach jüngsten auftritten mit odd future und kid cudi, mit den yeah yeah yeahs, james murphy und squarepusher werden thith jetzt auch bei uns ihr neues album ausgiebig live präsentieren!

we are proud to release the second ep from the new fluxion album on echocord. this work is about his travels in music. the sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the music influences deriving from them. through his prism those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take. fluxion captured the motion in his travels with a different feeling each time. >eruption< is maybe the most powerfull deep dubby track from the traces album, perfect for the dancefloor. >motion 3< and >motion 2< are beautifull floating dubby tracks. finally morphosis did a remix of >eruption<, pure killer madness for the dancefloor. after a decade in the field of dub, techno, ambient, fluxion opens the horizon with music that cannot fall under one specific territory.

formed somewhere in the 5th dimension, acid mondays is the cosmic coalition of fellow psychonauts negghead and lex wolf. brought together by their love for fat beats, inter dimensional travel & cups of tea, they are on a never-ending journey exploring inner and outer space. expect altered states of hallucinogenic house and reality bending techno. it would be a cliché to say they have a great future, but they’ve been there and beyond and have returned to the now to do it all again…

borrowed language returns with their second release this year, and the second collaborative effort to date from chicago-based producer/dj jeff pietro & label owner israel vines. following jeff pietros future classic >still< (charted by surgeon, peter van hoesen, silent servant, and many others) and justin iveys exemplary >apparition bay< (which won favor by the likes of rob hall and dj pete) was never going to be an easy task, but vines & pietro prove that they are more than up to the challenge – this is perhaps an even stronger statement of intent than their earlier joint effort, >distance no object< (blx-2).

supported by: loco dice, marco carola, nick curly, mathias kaden, monika kruse, reyou, ray okpara, timidboy, sasch bbc, helmut dubnitzky, veitengruber. as mono recordings is steadily looking for young talented artists they definitely found some for their 8th extraction. presenting chicks luv us two guys from marseille along side their good friends amine edge and medeew who are also based in marseille. chicks luv us put up some pumping techhouse grooves and by all means you will hear a lot more of them in the future.

ander-traxx is a fresh label operating out of glasgow with the intent of releasing righteous underground house, and although mainly a platform for the labels founder alex-ander to showcase his own productions, ander-traxxs remit also includes the presentation of unknown talent for future releases. for this first release, alex steps up to the plate to deliver because of me, followed by 3 remixes from artists born and raised in glasgow. the original kicks things off with its intro of glacial pads and jittery hats, before quickly delving into a seriousely deep groove brimming with melodic layers. although because of me gives a strong nod to the recent developements of producers like omar s and kyle hall, it undoubtedly has the hallmarks of an alex-ander production, his unique arrangements coming to the forefront while still complimenting the crisp percussion that drives the track forward. carlos nilmmns (co founder of the formidable solab production unit) mix is a much more off-kilter and submerged affair. nilmmns plays down the epic quality of the original and adds chugging rhythmics and sweetcured piano work for a lesson in divine repetition. mesumas feedback mix goes in for the dancefloor attack, not surprising for a gentleman whos previous work has seen releases on hardgroove and seventh sign. rolling toms and a booming kick meet aquatic vocal samples and spectral harmonicas, and will still please those partial to deeper sounds. last up to give because of me the rework treatment is meschi (lunar disko, lux, snuff traxx), who mixes his chicago influenced analogue stylings perfectly with the source material. stripped down crescendos build up to a euphoric drop, and meschis elated melodies bring another twist to this excercise in deep funk. because of me is one of those rare e.ps that works just as well in a non-club enviroment as it does on the dancefloor. with this warning shot, alex-ander will surely be capturing the ears of many in 2012 and beyond.

fly away is their debut release for leng and, at 16 minutes, is as long as it is mesmerising with it s lazy afro quality. full of analog instruments, guitar, bass, synths and percussive sounds create a dirty but unique window into the unusual minds of the mushrooms and has set the standard for their future releases.

with surprise cut on center ... after the success of the first release, tanstaafl returns for their second wax adventure, this time with the musical renegade dj october at the helm. october has entered a new phase of production for the tanstaafl series and has focused himself firmly on a reduced, stripped and effective formula for the floor. his productions are heavy, smoked out narcoleptic dub infused journeys, and his latest 12 offers more or less of the same opaque vibe but with his sights firmly set on the floor, with one foot in the past and the other in the future - drawing from his usual detroit, nyc and chicago influences. so we kick off 2012 with a future classic, singularity jump, which douses you in synthesized saxophone hooks, chopped vocal samples and a meaty juno hip-house inspired bass-line.planet of minds is more of a inner space affair very much inspired by acid and dub. successfully combining the two, october injects more of an airy feel into the mix and delivers a moody cosmic acid jam that will not fail your dancing feet or tripped-out mind. definitely one for the later hours.this is going to be an anthem, hands down, so get it before its gone for good.

lirum larum is a brand new joint of >efdemin< and >rndm< who are better known as >pigon< when they team-up in the studio or behind the decks. always riding the thin line between house and techno with a twist for the obscure they decided to have their own imprint from now on. lirum larum will publish music of their own project, from friends and other partners in crime. in that regard the first release is the perfect prototype of what can be expected in the future. the 1st release features a composition of their own in two mindblowing interpreations. no other than >function< (dave sumner of the splendid sandwell collective) and >tobias.< (who released a totally underrated outstanding album in ostgut last year!) provide their interpretations of pigons track >kamm< (originally released on beatstreet in 2008).

edits may be dead, but just when your elitist attitude comes to a head and you think you re on top of your game, there will always be someone deeper, faster and still motivated enough to rekindle your digging desires. where blackdisco volume 10 saw the return of lovefingers and nitedog, volume xi pushes forward into new territory (and with a new aesthetic) by welcoming a group of three deep diggers who shun musical trends and their inherent fakers. dea, albion & spacelex combine their vinyl-mining efforts to unearth some real diamonds from the rough. deas cut malaka is a floater with a funky sailboat vibe, while his complimentary cut taubat takes the tired jungle disco vibe to new level with its triumphant synth-led chorus, an absolute stunner that could be extended for 20 minutes. on the flip, albion spoons water over the coals, steaming up the joint with an uptempo percussion bomb as if santana had a disco secret, and spacelex rides us out with a sexy rock groove complete with mysterious male voiceover, almost as if someone lowered the volume to whisper in your ear.
