olim in latin can be used to indicate a time in the past or in the future. it can mean ‘once upon a time’ and ‘someday in the future’. a name and a project to try to move away from trends and genres, by taking inspiration from the past but at the same time leaving it, moving forward to shape a different and more narrative sound. the first attempt to do so is recursively: an 8 track album, opening with a sentence from bunny marrett sampled from an old documentary about st paul’s and the jamaican immigration in bristol during the 80’s. inspired by those intro words, recursively is a journey born from many years moving around, packing and unpacking suitcases, leaving villages, finding cities,leaving friends and finding more, emigrating, integrating. it’s a story about an entire generation trying to find the peace somewhere, somehow, sometimes by repeating the same steps in a loop of actions which seem to be the same but ultimately never are. it’s a soundtrack of those feelings and at the same time a message of hope to continue the journey through the faith that the meaning is the infinite journey itself. an infinite loop masterfully represented in carol rollo’s illustration. a story to be continued.

driven by passion for quality music, easy tiger came to life in 2011. as a contemporary party series. it was born from the idea and the desire to offer something fresh to belgrade’s electronic music scene.
delving deeper into musical endeavours, marko nastic blends his essential quirky, modular soundscapes into two dancefloor oriented tracks. on his new vinyl only imprint, marko promises further explorations of the genre, octagon gate being the primary example of the abstract tendencies. the second side cut, monday surfing, brings some intricately programmed rhythms, keeping the dancefloor dynamics integrated with intricate synths and subtle pads. the first release on his own new easy tiger series is all about future thinking house music.

as a longtime chicago and detroit house-head who spent hours listening to sets online, justin ramsey packed up his bags and jumped ship to berlin to get involved in its thriving music scene. the result - spacey pads, warm vocal samples, and driving drums which make up the backbone for each cut. don’t just keep me is a deep and trippy ep, dressed up with bouncing bass lines and breaks to dance to.

off-world colonies is a label set up by myself, martianman to release tunes under two aliases, dj gaff & cityspeak. this is another outlet for me to continue being creative. while the concept is heavily influenced by the film blade runner, it is also influenced by the industrial future that most science fiction depicts, while remembering the music from the past were are able to shape the future.

cosmic bridge continues to move forward with a two-track release featuring the dynamic duo of munich s danny scrilla, an early member of the label s roster, and bristol s sam binga, a close friend and collaborator of the label s founder om unit. created during a weekend session at scrilla s home studio, the release sees this long overdue anglo-german meeting of the future minded go deep into unexpected sonic terrains and fully live up to its title of weird in munich. the trip begins on side a with frolic in brine , a brooding roller that sets up the mood: deep, hypnotic and sweaty. the track unfolds from pulsating synths with a percussive rhythm underpinning a gentle procession of elements including synth arpeggios, languid guitar licks, and echoing sound effects. ignoring dancefloor conventions, frolic in brine instead opts for a minimal approach that delivers a shot of pure body music.

for the third installment of the ftp series, the tracks twist into darker genre territories. the compilation opens with psygnosis, a nine minute acidic techno stormer beaming from the pineal gland of the reclusive new zealand artist matthew brown. the track starts out with a simple hook, building intensity towards a crescendo of raining acid lines and 808 hi hats which resemble unsheathing swords, twisting form into hypnotizing insanity. on the b side, draveng unleashes some comic mischief with isogamous skoliosapien, a frantic rave tune bursting out of the seams with jazzy drum hits and frantic chord stabs. it would be a good soundtrack for phantasms to dance to in a haunted place. closing out the ep is the propulsive electro missile nonstop, a track that whips into the air and spins like a jet powered boomerang. it is is the first release from the finnish cyber-phreek sansibar. expect more to come from him in the very near future

ion din dorobanti is one of the many monikers of the ubiquitous producer ion dumitrescu from bucharest. his 7” single on pingipung shows the oriental influences on bass music in his hometown. this release carries the manele, romanias wedding music which dominates contemporary pop styles since 30 years, towards new sonic realms. on the two tracks, he drag psychedelia and analog electro into the manele-sphere. the first one presents a radical afro-electro rework of alex pus&#806,,,,tiu’s “mi-e pofta&#774,,,, de tine ra&#774,,,,u”. ion din dorobant&#806,,,,i’s original production on the other side is a track pulsating on a 9/8 groove infested with synth nostalgia. all is spiced up by nicu chinezu’s on clarinet. ion dumitrescu is the co-initiator of the future nuggets label and its sub-label p-balans. they are both based in bucharest and run in heavy rotation at the pingipung office and in our dj sets. if he is not ion din dorobant&#806,,,,i he appears as australopitecus oltensis or utopus as a producer. among his productions are the brilliant debut lp by steaua de mare, the first lp of the legendary band rodion g.a together with strut records (london), the raze de soare ep and both volumes of -sounds of the unheard from romania-. these two summer anthems are part of the ongoing series of 7”-releases on pingipung. other singles recently came from ya tosiba, sven kacirek, andi otto or f.s. blummbastic.

come together: re.yous younion returns with more sublime unifying forces. beats that bring us closer, feelings that break down barriers and artist partnerships whose creative connections are more than the sum of their parts. the message is clear in every directio, from the longstanding younion parties across europe to the slow-but-smouldering rise of the label, of which we are proud to present its third release tapping into the very same younion spirit that regularly shakes the walls of iconic clubs such as watergate berlin and pacha barcelona, this four track ep is an incisively curated collective ep comprising three acts who complement each other implicitly. as the dust still settles from florian busses recent younion outing, and solomun continues to hammer the labels first release from eins tiefer, the timing couldnt be better. the perennially on-point dutchman rancido takes the lead with two deep tribal odysseys that take root in the sound he’s made his signature. both >lagos< and the vinyl-only >rabat< conjure deep mystic textures around his stately, restrained and constantly developing grooves. there is a reason he is released with the mighty innervisions in the past. deeper again re.you whips up a percussive storm over palpitating synths in the form of >dao< before handing the controls over to rising german duo cosmo & kramer for an inspiring finale. a duo re.you has been championing since they warmed up for him five years ago, >dance< is a calling card for an extremely exciting future… and it more than lives up to its name. three releases deep and younions unifying forces couldnt be stronger. its time to combine.

room ii records is a new imprint run by two brothers based in london, which focuses on giving a platform to up and coming artists. ‘the black ep’ is the first in the series.
kicking off the series are three tracks by tr all varying in style and technique. soft pads and playful keys bounce along a grooving bassline on ep and every future summer set opener ‘fantasia’. ‘ub city’ is made up of field recordings taken from a recent trip tr made to india last summer. the flip side shifts again culminating in a live drum breakdown that’s supported by a subtle, acidic bass line - ‘10am acid jam’ is an outright dancefloor weapon.

weaving sophisticated orchestral scores with spacious electronic production, oofjs baroque modern pop perches on the edge of contemporary music, overlooking both the familiar past and the anything-goes future. after bonding over their mutual love for french synthesizer music, all things russian, and serge gainsbourg, jenno bjørnkjær and katherine mills rymer formed oofj, whose distinctive chilled-out sounds find their way deep into your ear like an electronic ind gyrating with eerie symphonies plus the delicate sound of expensive-lingerie vocals, that could make you cry in a good-looking way.

dj bwin follow up leibnizs inaugural release for the newly-founded hundert imprint with a three-track ep. trinity draws on feverish breakbeats, hardcore influences and about 2.3 gigatonnes of bass. having released a split ep with dj ok on irelands first second label, trinity sees the production duo venture into the realm of the ancient and the mystical, the inexplicable and the possibly made-up. conceived as a triangle with one foot deep in the past and the other one in a future yet to explore, trinity points all gunfingaz to the startling revelation that, hey, were all living in a computer simulation anyhow. informed by the ancient knowledge of the dubstep elders and jungleÆs relentless search for a grain of truth amongst the lies fed to us by the lo-fi house empire, dj bwin bring together the unholy trinity of paranoid hoover chords, melancholic textures and piercing synth notes for an ep that henceforth shall be known as ?banging atmospheric hardcore continuum derivatives for late-night hours. this is not a pyramid scheme or is it?

ocean parkway, the new sublabel from brooklyn s names you can trust, continues into the deep with a future dance sureshot! prince of queens aka felipe quiroz normally lends his talented musicianship on keys and bass to the live ensembles of combo chimbita and maku soundsystem, but behind the closed doors of his bunker studio a new sector of blissfully solo, machine-made electronic rhythms are steadily bubbling to the surface. call it techno as imagined by a tropicalista, as the vintage analog tones of classic house are twisted by a kaleidoscope of influences both caribbean and chicagoan. from the wavy beachside vibes of the ep s opening number, to the deep, evolving arrangements of the scene over and the end scene, on to the jazz-chord-fueled robotic timbale rhythms of thank you friends, and finally forward to the future-tropical polyrhythmic sequencing of winter islander, it s an impressive range of style and skills on display from this talented and up and coming producer

having already blessed the airwaves with their masked boiler room performance, and with releases and features seen on yume, huntley’s & palmers, permanent vacation and antho- ny napel’s probito, the promising talents of edinburgh duo hi & saberha&#776,gen continue on lo with ‘acid finger’. the five track ep showcases exactly what the pair are known for, exploring the balance of the subtle and direct natures of dance music. there is something extremely unique about their productions that breathes new life into an arguably stat- ic climate. ‘acid finger’ travels from highs to lows at a consistent and co- herent pace, starting with the sparkling, disco tinged ‘force&#769, boi&#770,te’. euphoric heights are executed through light flourish- ing synth lines, drum patters and chord stabs. ‘woodrum’ maintains the pace but switches the tone with jungle rhythms and a pounding bass. ominous belter ‘git’ with its driving kick, looped vocal sample and rolling bass. the track develops into a hopeful finish with the introduction of glittering synth movements. title track ‘acid finger’ delivers beautifully delicate percus- sive and melodic work that progressively shapes up against fleeting shrill synth lines that come to a fitting crescendo. ending the release is the melancholic atmospheres created in ‘redacted’, bringing a shift in mood and imitating a trudge through memory lane. expect to see and hear a lot more from these guys in the future..

myers returns, fresh off the back of a debut show at field day and with a two track 12- nodding to the past and the future. taps is a relentless drum machine driven, synth directed monster, that comes at you like it s about to punch you in the face, but actually picks you up and chucks you on its shoulders. rabona is a restrained, smooth but rugged roller, with subtle shifts that previews another layer to the myers palette. having taken steps out into the real world, expect a lot more to come over the next year

limited edition gold vinyl.
ivory puzzle – dj krust a straight up banger from dj krusts -cloaking- bass era. like many tracks from the time, it s working simplicity was it s defining factor. a very hooky arpeggiated intro and breakdown and an unrelenting drum and bass workout, the track steps up a gear getting more intense every sixteen bars taking the dance floor on the musical equivalent of a nitro fuelled sprint down a drag strip.
flip it – dj krust a futuristic roller with sampled funk breakbeats reminiscent of -true stories- and -soul in motion-. like many of the krust and full cycle releases this was a tune screaming to be mixed with others, it s unexpected drum edits and fx popping in and out making it impossible to tell when one tune ended and another began. the resonating b-line always sounded huge on a rig and paved the way for a myriad of future generations of bass ideas. quite a rare tune, only krust, die and bryan g had this on dubplate.

brooklyn s own, jovonn returns on his body n deep label with a release containing tracks from his forthcoming album timeless. two deep, future classics from the new york legend.

folamour represents the present and future sounds of the disco/house hybrid, staying true to the glitterbox sonic philosophy. his tracks share the same production values as the timeless records from classic disco imprints in the late 70s, melodies are super-tightly harmonised, instrumentation is lively and the rhythms are designed purely for dance. ‘the power and the blessing of unity’ is almost a mini album, exploring all the facets of folamour’s sophisticated house and disco tendencies. the title track sparkles with brass stabs and a textbook swinging disco beat, ‘island of recent father’ breaks things down into synthy house goodness, ‘let’s grab some smokes’ channels a more contemporary low-fi sound and bringing it home with ‘home beyond the clouds’, folamour closes with uplifting house hooks and percussion. it’s a real trip.

soul jazz records’ new space, energy and light is a collection of music by early electronic and synthesizer pioneers (from the 1960s through the 1970s), mid-1970s proto-new age gurus and 1980s guerrilla d-i-y cassette-era electronic artists, spanning in total over a near 30-year time frame. all of these artists used electronic advancements in music technology as a means of exploring not only space and the idea of the future, but also of looking inwards to the soul and of creating music in harmony with the natural world.

zone records welcome a real legend in the form of cardopusher for their next ep, a five track affair that is arresting from the off. venezuelan born cardopusher is now based in barcelona and co-founded the classicworks label. his diverse and experimental sound takes him from techno to electro to acid to rave to house, all with his own singular perspective. always fusing ideas with great skill on labels like super rhythm trax, zodiac 44 and bnr, he now comes correct for zone. kicking things off is the raw and raucous ‘nothing left to believe in.’ it is a macho tune with fractured vocals, wild synths and slap funk drums all sounding industrial and tortured. then comes blast cut, a more dynamic and stripped back electro groove with a corrugated bassline and metallic synth stabs all sounding informed by the past but looking to a distant future.
