here at spectrum spools, one of the many missions is to make sure great, under-documented, and limited offerings get a chance to see a wider release. no ufos debut cassette, >soft coast< (2010, nice up intl), is surely no exception.

tough new moves from newcomer boner m on the much loved dont outletalso features sought after subhead track on vinyl for the 1st time techno as it was in the 90s and early 2000s is hard to come across these days.gone are the killer intense riffs and hard beats that did the damage on dance floors the world over.well as usual,sidestepping the current fashions and delivering nothing but great quality off the wall techno music,dont recordings returns to smack the ball right out of the park with a brand new heavy techno 2 tracker cut extra loud for your pleasure.maverick techno legend subhead steps up and delivers intense rave-o-gedden of epic proportions. this ones been doing serious damage via cd and via the with vocals version on tunebox records for the last 2 years and has been the most asked about track of both subhead and label boss jerome hills sets during this time, with constant requests from djs to make it available.on the b-side dont brings you the debut release from a formidable new talent boner m whose track zoidar melds hard techno and disco together with distinct ease, but the results are far from what youd expect of these two genres colliding.less daft punk and more in your face overloaded bass funk. look out for more from this guy in the future.support techno before it becomes extinct!

supported by: alex agore, skipson, roman rauch, marquese, drei farbenhouse,ynks second ep for tenderpark approaches the subject tenderness with a lot of feel for musicality: on dana limes the young man from frankfurt combines gentle piano melodies with multi-faceted, powerful rhythms and a feld recording the musician has recorded in helsinki.park theme relies on an even more subtle feld recording from a small park in vienna, slows down the tempo and delights us with a deep black bass groove.and with the piano piece etude ynk not only proves his love for this instrument once more, but also shows compositional skills which reach way beyond the standards in the electronic music scene.

nice price deal !!! 2x12 inch outstanding, always more melodic and more to the point? here is the 12th edition of the kitsuné maison compilations: the good fun issue!

highly recommended! after the celebrated single >retro vogue<, restoration strikes back with a 4 track e.p. designed to blast the planetary sound systems. bombproof analogue music produced during wild sessions at the restoration headquarters.
on side a, blawan (r&s records), one of the most talented u.k youngsters, join the forces of the analogue cops. a1 is an analogue hand grenade: spacey, smashing, twisted. a2 is an heavy, jacky house excursion with delightful piano chords over solid raw beats.
on side b, mister ryan elliott (ghostly / ostgut ton) visits the analogue cops and the result is impressive. b1 is a forthright house track with a techno attitude, a sensual vocal hook runs over an huge bass drum with sharp hi-hats. b2 is an hard driving minimalistic sci-fi trip, dancefloor oriented but fast paced from trends.

fade to mind is a both a record label and a movement, a series of club nights and cooperative projects in music, visual art, video and apparel. led by los angeles based kingdom, fade to mind is an injection of the personal back into contemporary club music. sparked by kingdoms longstanding relationships with dallas dj/producer prince william, la-based nguzunguzu and total freedom, as well londons night slugs collective (to which fade to mind will operate as a sister label), fade to mind marks a dramatic genesis of collaboration between the uk and american undergrounds.

working non-stop, danny wolfers is back again on greeces echovolt label after last years acclaimed comeback dust remix. once again we see his trademark style of soulful, narrative electronic music spread across these four barrio tinged tracks, the standout being the massive poverties paradise which is a deeply emotional vocal excursion reminiscent of some of the most classic chicago cuts with the signature legowelt stamp planted firmly on it. not to be missed!

the latest release from joakims tigersushi record label sees the deadstocks 33s collaborating with stopmakingme for an ep of 4 lush, sometimes balearic sounding slabs of proto house dance music. straight off the back of crackboys ep, and joakims debut single from the new album, >gravity< compounds the summer mood of dance music, joining the ranks of artist gatto fritto and soulclap.

dikso from berlin drop another amazing ep ! after five super sound singles here is diksos very first artist ep and of course it will be daniel solars job to do the kick-off. his retrospect ep features the most zippy stuff dikso has released so far without being an ordinary house record. the percussion is minimalistically filigree, the atmosphere is fluffy and aniyas voice on >can you really know< comes direct from outer space... er... down under. dikso006 a1 - summer, sunshine, a picnic basket full of delicious food and wine and someone to share a walk in the park. sounds cheesy? yes, you are right... but remember that every park has its dark corners. dikso006 a2 - daniel teamed up with aniya ouu, the grand lady of >melbourne deepcast<, a blog from a few down under brothers and sisters in spirit. intercontinental and interblogospheric, interdisciplinary and... (fill in a word of your choice that begins with inter) dikso006 b1 - thee role model of deepslowmonudiscoeditchicagoacidwhateverhouse. after finishing two longplayers earlier this year he spent some time to refine daniels track. the original shines through but everything is a little bit deeper, darker, stronger. its still a walk in the park, but imagine the voices of owls and some undefinable dark shadows instead of wine, women & song. dikso006 b2 - we still have his brilliant ep for permanet vacation in our ears and synapses and now he is here with a stirring remix for prime times and big rooms. the boys from dikso borrowed pional, probably spains best kept secret, from john talabots hivern discs camp who delivers a real monster of a track. john, they have promised to give him back, later... someday... somehow

hris liebing and the clr team are very exited about the upcoming release of clr 049. the engine ep by black asteroid is the brand-new project of an artist who has been an unconventional techno innovator and a big inspiration for many years. black asteroid is the brainchild of bryan black, who started his career as a sound designer for prince. while working with prince at paisley park studios, bryan learned and honed sound and production skills, which inspired him to start his own band. he moved to london england and co-founded a band called motor. their first demo was quickly signed to novamute, and after 2 singles, motor were catapulted to the top of the techno world, sharing stages with daft punk and kraftwerk at major festivals, and later embarking on a world tour supporting depeche mode in 2009. in april 2011, bryan decided to start a new project by the name of black asteroid, to showcase an exciting new sound and to re-capture the techno world once more

we present you the newly born imprint outernational recordings. the kick off for this unique vinyl series is by basque county native kastil who sets the right tone with three wonderful disco edits at a mid-tempo / slomo pace. since uploading these tracks to his soundcloud page, the feedback has been enormous. side a contains the long, slow and loopy back to philadelphia, where kastil cleverly plays with the vocals and delay and creates a highly tense build up. theres no doubt that some large players in the very popular disco edit culture will play this one out. on the b1 side you find the track smd. a track which received great feedback by some key figures on soundcloud. this track is the ultimate pre-lude for the summer. fortunately, this is being released just early enough to enjoy this during the european and northern american summer. with again beautiful vocals floating through the track, this track definitely reminds one of a hot day in the local park. the b2 track is called rolls royce. perfect as the last track of this release since its a long edit which ends with a very atmospheric piano solo that keeps on floating through the last few minutes of the track. all and all, these edits will definitely make some heads turn after the date of release. supported by: cosmic boogie, dicky trisco, the legendary 1979 orchestra, sleazy beats recordings, ben la desh, 78 edits, osvaldo wilson, mannmademusic, gitchell moore

illusion recordings hit the aural jackpot with first release >e.p. one< - a fresh v.a. package that unites raw, old school house cuts with funky 80s electro infused jams from artists on the cutting edge of the uk scene and beyond.

repress

every so often a new artist on the dumb unit roster steps up and bats one out of the park. case in point, our man from essen : tim querengaesser: aka pherox. the panthers walk ep is an expressive and bombastic ode to a night that goes boom! sultry lyrics voiced by tim himself and guest lee curtiss sit firmly over top of tims excellant and chugging under groove. the panthers walk is an exciting slab of music for any dj and one that will certainly bring pherox and his brand of funk into a more deserving light.

support by richie hawtin, super flu, gorge, toni rios, stephan bodzin, phonique, afrilounge, kombinat100 and many more. auf seinem versteckten spielplatz hat der fruehling bereits vollen einzug erhalten, die warme luft ist erfüllt von heiterem gelaechter und überall bewegen sich nackte fueße rhythmisch im grünen gras. was mollono.bass auf seinem debuetalbum zum besten gibt, offenbart nicht nur einen überaus entspannten charakter sondern auch eine sehr eigenständige und unverkrampfte definition von elektronischer tanzmusik

boys and diamonds is unmistakably a pop album but also one that comfortably fits in with kompakts long-standing lineage of genre-refracting releases. you will be hard up find another record that cohesively brings to mind siouxsie rubbing elbows with shabba ranks, giorgio moroder sipping daiquiris in bali, desmond dekker envisioned through skittering footwork, tom tom club sitting in with congotronics, even early madonna produced by chris and cosey. unlikely as all of that sounds, rainbow arabia makes it sound easy. mostly recorded at their home studio in echo park, muppet palace, boys and diamonds was written and produced by the couple with help from their friends in los angeles and beyond. drummer/producer extraordinaire butchy fuego (pit er pat, boredoms, mia) contributes arrangements and beats in places, and icy demons dylan ryan plays on the percussion-heavy island shuffle nothin gonna be undone . the album was mixed at the wonderful hobby shop studios in la by mudrock, who also adds some final production touches on the record. the 11 new songs on the album, were also made possible by the encouragement of peers/heroes in la like former ghosts, fool s gold, secret circuit, abe vigoda, and part time punks dj crew. outside of their hometown, they also found support and inspiration from kindred spirits like pictureplane, spoek mathambo, as well as their new home, the ever-illustrious kompakt

rick wade, the self-entitled new duke of cologne returns to cologne based yore imprint, the real dukes in town. the detroit based deep house soldier rick wade has been around for a long time and has been releasing deep house tracks long enough to warrant the ‘old master’ title (all the way back in 1993, he built his own studio and established his harmonie park label), and now he returns of the mighty duke of cologne with a three-track yore follow-up to his fabulous 2008 full-length the good, the bad and the deep.it takes mere seconds for the title cuts deep bass-and-drum pulse to work its magic. driven by a slinky backbeat, the tune gets its skanky kick from a wah-wah guitar figure in the background and the silky allure of classic disco-era strings.
