hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth aren’t in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben valløe in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and valløe and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

kht 002 comes from affie yusuf, a longtime legendary producer from london, who has released tons of tracks solo and in groups on labels such as ferox, force inc and many more. meeting affie yusuf for the first time via internet was like meeting an old friend. a sympathy for the devil was our common sense and after hearing some of his unreleased music it was obvious we needed to get closer. for his first release on killekill he has sent us so many good tracks it was not easy for us to compile the first release. but here we go now with the >i m free ep<, a 12 inch full of house as we like it. raw as shit and full of fun, funk and energy!

the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!

the a side bonnino of this split maxi by campaign of love is a timeless techno track with a nice dub / detroit feel. almost everything is arranged live. battle call by ed shepherd has a kind of blues rhythm with a heavy moogbassline and an easy whistle.

the third album by talk talk, originally released in 1986, back on vinyl. this lp also contains a high resolution audio transfer of the original album masters and original b-side >its getting late in the evening< on an audio-only dvd.

part 1/3. the distance from ricardos last field trip >the au harem d archimede< (perl43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12 lp-set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. it is said that funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. the space between the notes here is so vast that funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. the rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. they evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.

with another release that is made to be a soundtrack for sunny open air scenarios, acker records keeps living up to its name and pays tribute to the current summer season. in doing so, the label from mecklenburg one more time steps out of the line, since this release again distinguishes itself by a refreshing otherness. light and easy piano plonking as well as the lascivious french voice of singer rebecca dominate the atmosphere of ici, while its minimal electronic groove discreetly remains in the background. a really tropical feeling evolves in the long version of this track when playful synthesiser chords give rise to the idea of a steel drum. in his remix, mollono.bass manages to combine the very song-orientated approach of the original with a bouncy electronic arrangement. thus he not only creates a lot of dance floor thrust, but also provides the perfect link to rather conventional productions.

finally its here! moustache is proud to present the superhit memories by alden tyrell featuring the voice of italo - fred ventura. the original version takes you back to 1983 combining rolling basslines and heavy synths with freds outstanding lyrics. this is a true masterpiece which has already been a major hit on the cybernetic broadcasting system. the flipside contains an instrumental version of the original as well as a state of art remix by fred ventura and stefano tirone for state of art 2.0. stefano is the original songwriter from jock hattle and part of flexx when they made the futuro e donna soundtrack. the remix is really easy going and great for lazy sunday afternoons on the couch. cutted by the legendary lex van coeverden. 500 copies only!

enjoy a musical high in your life, enjoy highlive – a thing called fusion ep!

after ushering in a raft of releases from top talent over the last year that turned quite a few heads, we over here at thema thought it was time to assert our own opinions a bit more forcefully. we certainly appreciate all the support we garnered from the detroit drops courtesy of norm and terrence, and sliding over to the smallville end of the spectrum with rau and suburb certainly didnt lose the thread either. sometimes its easy to build a vibe on the backs of others rather than on simple merit though… with that in mind we have taken our own path since then, and the recent successes from beaner and laurine frost stand alone as the accolades keep rolling in. continuing on our outbound trajectory, we present the solo vinyl debut of gathaspar, the mysterious polish producer who has been making noise mostly in berlin and to the east.

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).

it is with great honour that in paradisum welcome sometime border community and traum schallplatten artist ricardo tobar into the label for the fourth chapter in our fledgling story. the esoteric/carnaval ep reveals four tracks that further showcase the chilean producers unerring grasp for electronic music that combines moments of introspection with the unshakeable urge to lose yourself in the moment.
tobar is extending this plunge towards all new uncompromising techno territory from various, equally engrossing angles. pitch the rough hewn mutant beat dance of >esoteric< next to fizzing, acid tainted textures of >recuerdos< or the grinding journey through dantes inferno that is >carnaval< and its easy to see why tobar has been accommodated into the in paradisum fold.

part 3/3! close your eyes and let go. born in hannover daso enchanted us with this track. it is constantly building up until sunrise. this is how we got to know daso when he was playing his first gig at a treibgut getting our guests up and going. in hannover this night is known as the topless-party-animals-night. not many are as familiar with the treibgut sound as mario aureo proving with this tune. a year ago it was all hands up at treibgut but know we set it free to be passionately celebrated at other parties. leave the orchestra in rehearsals – until they have finished we keep on celebrating to the deep bassline for the plane has just landed. moritz approached this tune verytooly. we just remember him setting up stage for the party, ordering pizza and watching football. frieder, our youngest member, never looses the concept of time and spaces but this track has so much atmosphere in it that you can imagine which cloud he is on. the track comes in easy-going leaving you floating to the end

the debut release on poem by neotnas, is set to showcase both the labels outlook and pedigree. the outlook of quality, from the music, to the pressing and artwork, and the pedigree, which is proven in the history of tobias duffner, who ran fauxpas musik, and his choice of upcoming artists already slated to release on poem. neotnas hails from the city of chelyabinsk in russia, and delivers a mature yet fresh ep of deep, well versed grooves. to grant it a genre would narrow the appeal of these tracks, but rest assured those from house or techno backgrounds will both find common ground. these tracks stand out for their almost unearthly feel, and its easy to hear that neotnas are close to the ural mountains, in tracks like kai, or that day, which serve both the head and the feet. the future for poem lies in cultivating new artists as talented as neotnas, to go alongside proven ones, as a list of remix names show how poem will progress: convextion/e.r.p., anton zap, modern stalking and mlz to name a few already at work.

breaking-through in berlin is not an easy task and that is exactly what mike wall, the latest artist to join the hidden recordings family is doing with a remarkable release showcasing the versatility, artistry and pure soul that goes into making music for the big room. mikes talent first came to hidden recordings with his darker, jacking rendition of 014hr m.a.d.a. + planktons >antiz<. additionally, his inventive, high octane jams have found themselves on such high profile labels such as sleaze, on and on and pluseins. additional firepower enlisted for thre release comes two men who we deeply admire. the first is somebody who is making us re-think the boundaries of techno, the elusive and mysterious xhin from stroboscopic artefacts and clr. the second comes from splatter, with his evil and dark chugging glitched out trade-mark sound that will tear up danceflooors and leave you shaking in all the right ways. the combination of the originals and remixes will also be getting the deluxe vinyl treatment that followers of hidden recordings have come to expect – watch for it in february. we are proud and excited to share this one with you as we believe mike wall is a diamond in the rough. use these wisely to get your dance-floor moving and feedback is encouraged and welcome.
