so it begins, our good friends zoo look kindly kick off the abstract culture legacy, due out late this year the duo have worked out 2 awesome original cuts that each get remixed by some fine talent, together like this is the a-side and made with the dancefloor in mind, check it!

for its first release of 2014, sammy dees ultrastretch label has called upon monsieur georget. youre forgiven if the name is unfamiliar. his bio offers few clues—he likes his bicycle, vin rouge and analog hardware, the latter of which was apparent on his recent debut for le loup and seuils hold youth label. bold and auspicious, the ep may have left you wondering if it was something more than a first record. and as it turns out, monsieur georget is none other than chris carrier, the long-active french purveyor of hypnotically minimal house.luckily we werent left waiting for very long for more material from carriers new alias. his second release, le vicieu / colle de la bonette, shows that monsieur georget and monsieur dee share an affinity for pared down, wonderfully elastic club tracks. like carriers best work, the compositions themselves are minimalist, but their hardware-based sound pallet ensures theres plenty of meat on the bones. a-side le vicieu is a subtly melodic shuffler, where deep bass growls at the core of an expansive drum set and whispers suffuse the negative space with mystery. on the flipside, colle de la bonette takes the sound someplace stranger and more psychedelic. whatever weird place were whisked off to, though, its every bit as funky, with brittle drums undulating to the kicks deliciously irregular throb. >monsieur georget< might be a brand-new name, but we’re willing to wager you ll quickly get to know these rollers well.

kris wadsworth is an increasingly rare breed of artist that flat refuses to play industry games and pander to current trends, focusing on the darker, more uncompromising (and more honest) realms of electronic music. releases have steadily clocked up for such esteemed imprints as boe recordings, nrk music, alphahouse, get physical and morris/audio, landing on hypercolour for 2009’s impressive ‘deport this” (and subsequent single “mainline”), and it is for the eclectic and forward thinking uk label that wadsworth aims his second full length player at.

nice price deal !!! bio rhythm seems to be spiralling deeper & deeper into the rabbit hole. six brand new tracks by villa abo (a frak side project) and his first release since the 1997 borft releases. actually the short sound clips here dont do justice. fix yourself the full-length audio package and get lost on the other side through these six little scandinavian fairy tales full of desolate techno mysticizm, pressed on 2x12inch for maximum dj delight. the spirits have spoken. sky channel is all you need! limited to 300 copies.

200 copies oonly! after amazing last release with a.harris & d.lamar, joss back with original track *mountain castle*. groovy tech house with original melodic line and vocal sample is what you need to get moving people on the dance floor in any club. masterpiece remix from the owner german imprint sender records - benno blome adds warm charm and elegance to this release.

parisian label meant turns to hugo sanchez and rodion in their alien alien guise, a little known side project that has released on their own label roccodisco and that has also featured on get physical back in 2012. the two originals from alien alien come with remixes by rodion in solo mode, plus red axes.

this limited edition 7 vinyl from mcm, released in conjunction with headcount records is a little slice of history. the former lyricist and front-man of the pioneering uk hip hop crew, caveman delivers two solid joints. caveman was the first uk hip hop group to get signed to a major label and signed to profile records in 1990. the crew quickly established themselves as one of the uks most popular and versatile acts. over 20 years after the first caveman album, mcm is back. the a side cut, r.e.a.l (rhymes equal actual life) is featuring fellow high wycombe emcee c-lone and is produced by rinse dog with the cuts by mr brown. the b-side cut is through and through mcm.

another year comes crashing into view, and another instalment in the nasty rips and shifting peaks series is upon us, as ever looking to bring together a mix of new, up and coming and established names, via a chaotic miasma of styles and tempos.

our friend affie yusuf delivers the next release for our house imprint.better known as a master of acid house and techno, he shows off with his other side here. with its 4 groovy tunes this record offers anything you can expect from a good house record, may it the subtle groove of rinse & dry, which reminds of the early works of herbert, the ironical drugged out guantanamo rave, the uptempo ferox-like get involved or the funky house fm.

quite simply, mike storms one target is one of my favourite techno tracks of this year. intense, funky, hypnotic, this is a total bomb. full support in the clubs and charting on ra and juno. thought it would be hard to follow up binnys millsian madness but this release fucking rocks mate, cant wait to get it on vinyl

limited to 500! the ninth release from the well-formed holic trax label comes from italian born hot property tuccillo, fresh off the back of his massive ep for 2020vision and recent work as doublet with holic boss tomoki tamura. this new ep will get released on a limited run of 500 coloured vinyl. tucillos sound is a cultured but club ready one with plenty of melodic intricacies and cues taken from chill out, disco, house and techno in equal measure. these four new tracks prove he is a master of his form very much still on the rise

coming off of a successful run of 3 hot vinyl releases from the same number of labels in the between mid-sept and mid-november,hit it n quit it(lumberjacks in hell label), mlk dreams/over my face(persnickety sounds label) & get up move your body (grimy edits label) cratebug slams you with yet another trio of bangers to feed your dance floor

after a successful collaboration with his alter ego reeko on polegroup, architectural returns with a carefully designed and artisanal created work on his own imprint. get ready for the 5th episode of the personal techno project from spanish producer architectural with a new 3 track ep.

with david mayers share of keinemusiks current workparty edition still providing solid fuel for heated clubfloors, he already shovelstwo fresh loads into the furnace. km021 has just surfaced in a moment when electrified techno-music seems to drown in an ocean of preset-dullness. well, mayer has come to provide a rescue tool with his sunhole on side a. youll recognize this somewhat trademark-becoming percussive fetish of mayer as this tracks modus operandi. yet, it has rarely been as detailed and surgically implemented as in this banger. whats that – a second hand ticking? and over there – is it a woodpecker in the field? sunhole supplies all the answers in a thumping, yet no friskiness avoiding manner. youll get a stoically rolling beat, asphalting the floor, to build a cannonproof foundation for thisarrangements main attraction – a filtered and delay-heavy synth-affair.flip around and find a competitive jamboree of subtle background-brainwaves other would straightaway use as lead-ideas for their tracks. well, this matchingly titled lead comes in with a hard hitting kick and gets into the groove via filter-rides to peak into clanking noisy industrial-thunder that immediately will electrify every steel-toe in hearing range. generally - only roughness in this cut, crispy bounce and ghostly whispers all over. most definitely for the win, this double broadside.

hq we happened to find some boxes containing all remaining copies of repetitive digital noise by i, a.k.a. atomtm! four tracks of timeless, minimal, acidic techno recorded in 1992 and rereleased - for the first time on vinyl - on recognition in 2006. as these tunes are still making rounds in dj sets of, among others, marcel dettmann, ben klock or nina kravitz, we thinks its the great opportunity to get hold of some of the most archetypical tracks that helped to shape techno as we know it today

eintakt 29 >rauhv01< vinyl, including 2 exclusive remixes of nvelopes successful first full length >chords & scapes<, also part of the 3 track ep is the original song >tribute< by nvelope. nvelope presents his tribute version on a1, a track as simple as classic as good as you know what im talking about.longtime label fellow gunnar hemmerling (also man behind dock records) kicks off on the a2 with a quite reduced stomper (and as >stomping ground< is the tracks name he does good so). proper ancient techno vibes, enslaving the circuitry and drumming on the real heavy barrels. rob strobe and kai randy michel aka say what introduce themselves on eintakt on full b-side with a soupy submarine machine and you might dont know what to say (but the project name says say what) and i say get lost there then (and you probably will). the rauhv series are an upcoming collection of unreleased remixes of different rauhphaser releases

phil weeks and robsoul recordings kick off their 15th year in house music with a new three track ep from the main man himself. live at palladium has been the standout track of phils sets over the last few months, always generating a queue of people asking what it is. you may just recognize the marvin gaye sample, which was also previously borrowed by moodymann. it comes backed with the funk-infused *you want my love* and the soaring, chugging groove of *demain a jamais*, and looks set to get another year off to a flying start for one of the finest labels in underground house music.

just when you thought this release couldnt get any bigger... swedish techno god adam beyer rolls in with a gigantic remix for turbo, the first thing hes done for the canadian label since his stockholm mix sessions cd back in 2002.support by: michael mayer

lofi electro a la early console / c64 sound

described in typically self deprecating manner as a vanity imprint in the classically ornery tradition, the pear growers series is a new label from chris madak, best known for his mind bendingly good output as bee mask. the first release sees material from madaks excellent spectrum spools long player when we were eating unripe pears get treated to remixes from celebrated techno artists surgeon and abdulla rashim. anyone who has heard surgeon playing the remix on his rinse fm show will agree that his unashamedly emotive breakbeat reworking of *the story of keys & locks* is arguably one of the simplest and most affecting remixes this year. complementing this, prologue and semantica artist abdulla rashim delivers a take on *unripe pears* that will resonate with anyone that has indulged in the elusive producers recent output on his own eponymous label.

the californian has a cccp and a couple of the very best lies, but this stomping, grisly, suspenseful, four-track assassinator tops the lot. you get plenty more prep and purpose, and a load more killing.

bte is running a vinyl label with haiku for its first release. original tracks represent two different concepts of techno minded for big sound systems, with small synthology or sequencing variations in order to get full or empty spaces and rhythms

superb collection of early 90s underground deep house classics by the legendary dub maestro mk. first up is the hard-to-find remix of terence trent d arbys >surrender< which takes d arbys soulful vocal and puts some classic mk fire underneath it to create a awesome deep house banger which received heavy rotation both in the clubs and on the airwaves. next we get one of mks best dubs - his brilliant take on the b52s >tell it like it t-i-is<, a chugging house belter which adds a haunting bass and melody to the bands expertly chopped up vocal chants. the flip side keeps up the pressure with the awesome dub mix of betty boos >thing goin on<, another of his finest dub mixes, and lastly the in-demand classic >bicycle dub< of the pet shop boys >can you forgive her<, only ever available as a limited promo but huge on the underground scene.

spell pets backwards to get step. spell step forwards to find pets going back to basics. step is the new concept label from the founder of pets, catz n dogz, that highlights the rawest forms and root functions of quality club music. step finds the fundamental groove with under-the-radar house and techno that is isnt afraid to be rough around the edges. step is limited promo, zero hype, and all about the music. each new step will be released every three months on vinyl...

hip hop did not develop in a vacuum - its roots can be traced back to the earliest afro-american music, and the folks who were influenced by these sounds along the way. this lp compiles some of the great recordings that showcase the spoken word and street culture put forth from the 1920s through the 1960s that would go on to influence the entire rap music genre. the themes will be familiar - religion, politics, black experience, badass gangsta rap, speed, sex, drugs and rock n roll. lets listen to the lessons that the hipsters of the past taught the rappers of today.

for his new ep nicolas aftalion is still paying his due respects to the early house meisters. 3 brand new trax of heavily ny influenced house music. still old school but always fresh. from paris with love, thats some serious shit! is a record label dedicated to old house music and to dancers. following the steps of kerry chandler, mr. fingers, ron trent, masters at work and so on... away from the hype, we want to bring back the spirit of the early 90s when house music was not only music, but a communion of body, soul, freedom and love. we hope to get you with us... in the dance, in the club. now ride on the sound.

jubilee for dystopian… not only the number 005 for the label, also 5 years of dystopian showcases around the world and a good working agency and label since 2012 – the dystopian guys want to say thank you with that special release. and what fits better to invite some long term guests to remix dystopian artists ?! first, we invited pär grindvik who played the second dystopian party ever in 2010 to remix the already wonderful >stone edge< by felix k. and what else to say, that one turned out into a tribal techno monster.second remixer is function – he played the every first dystopian event back in 2009 (you remember, as sandwell district live, ben klock, shed and rodhad).. so, this time it s our pleasure – and to get a good balance to the a-side, he delivered a groovy hypnotizing minimalistic tool.. you need to let i grow, but than this track getting you from behind :)

remixed with love by joey negro !!

ltd repress !!! another main player of the current elite of deephouse producers makes an anonymous but definitely not impersonal appearance on the ever great story imprint. right from the beginning of >fascinated< we get slowely woven into a maze by the spellbinding introduction of a sultry soulstress and when the eeriy string, gentle harp sweeps and a swinging yet almost coy beat fall in it only adds to the feeling of hazy, latenight intimacy. >taj mahal< has a more robust, earthy beat with tabla and deep twangy sitar sounds panning around, making you see all these groovy colors and feel like you are lifted above ground and even >you better find a job< - despite its title - doesnt even try to pull you back to earth and into dull reality. its warm pulsating bass, psychedelic feedback and flanger sounds much rather urge you to flip that record over again and stay in the groove

classic , back in stock
