4 totally different tracks to suit various club contexts.

two dogs in a house is steve summers and ron morelli (l.i.e.s) meanest project to date. rising from the delay saturated muck, pushing the red, straight forward and to the point with no time to waste, these brooklyn dogs started with a simple modus operandi as to make effective, psychedelic tracks that they would want to hear on a proper club system. and you do want to hear dogs anthem in a proper soundsystem. a fat one. rather than a decent follow up to their l.i.e.s. ep, this 12? is an statement by itself, sounding more experimental and raw ?if that?s possible than its predecessor. it evokes chicago, detroit, and industrial records equally, but do not get mixed up: this is a weapon designed to tear dancefloors apart! limited copies , hand numbered.

free to be is a monstrous, house-submerged affair, as low-slung as they come and in a classic murk vibe. berliner hunee delivers a spot on remix on the title track and brings it into deeper territory reminiscent of early prescription releases. he is transforming the original mix into something fuller, warmer and almost epic. down to nothing is another slow pumping house nugget. with its soothing and soaring synths, ebb-and-flow arrangement, inviting melody and vocals, this is another bomb fitting every house set. things get even slower with why dont you. a great house tune with a sensuous vibe.

vae victis records kicks off his records catalogue with a 4 tracks ep where raw house and techno get mixed up thru machines and then recorded on tape. the project, a 6 hands affaire, sees teaming up three of the most interesting artists of the moment: the analogue cops, duo already known for their imprint restoration records and for their moodymanns remix under the appointment moniker and blawan, the uk producer who saw his debuts released last year by imprints such as hessle audio, warp, r&s and soon on clone who represents, alongside fellows james blake, pearson sound a.k.a ramadanman and joy orbison, the young breed of talentented new uk producers. promising start for this new label!!

aux-rec is back for its fourth project, following the >baker man< edit by soul clap (so good it became an official remix on laid backs label), first class remixes by franco cinelli and the >caught up< bootleg by le loup & funkalicious james aka childhood 87. we are feverish to bring you today two new bomb bootlegs by argentine top producers leonel castillo and lexdinamo. those in the know have been familiar with these names for over ten years now and know how rare their productions are. as a matter of fact, this is probably the first time you will be able to get your hands on such bootleg productions from these two cats. leonel castillos signature shuffly blend is unmistakably recognizable on this a-side, on which he pays his tribute to one of the most emotional soul masterpieces by the dells, the 74 released >i wish it was me you loved<, bringing it into full dancefloor effect. lexdinamo does what noone did before, jumbling even further one of bobby mcferrins most genius vocal medleys, >drive<. avid bootleg followers may have previously heard this version, but we just cant get enough of it! coming up! more works by aux-rec regulars franco cinelli, leonel castillo and soul clap! stay booted!

perseus traxx - vol. ii: more of that authentic 80s chicago deep house from mr nigel rogers, get the hell out of that little paxton, dude!

no doubt, daniel herrmann alias flug 8 does polarize. the principle he follows through all releases during the past years is an atmospheric melancholy that has got to fascinate. tuning would not exist without detuning, and a mood is a mood. this may be understandable easily. however, those who get into his music can expect much more from it.

title track >lasers are forever< combines arpeggiating analog squelch, lush synth atmospherics and subtle percussion sequencing to lend itself an uncommon sense of drama, the effect of which is both compelling and visceral. on the flip, >hello darkness< takes a somewhat different approach: an imposing arp 2600 bassline pulses along front-and-center with a relentless acid-tinged snarl, while pounding drums and swelling pads complete this most banging of danses macabres. on remix duties are throne of blood alumni remain & mlle caro, who retain the key elements of their source material only to reveal an entirely different beast lurking beneath: the parisian duo take down the tempo a few notches and let swelling analog filters and unfurling lfos do the rest. meanwhile, get the curse music boss clement meyers deformhaus remix of >hello darkness< tightens the originals percussion to an industrial stomp and introduces a spooked-out synth line every bit as funky as it is uncanny- the end result lands somewhere between the boneyard and the discothèqu

like a slimer rising forth from the swamp neil landstrumm returns to germany once more with fresh new meat for the bbq. echoing his recent uk bass tracks on planet mu, landstrumm brings new styles and flavours to his favourite foreign country on the slidebar label. the music speaks for itself and your unlikely to hear anything else like this record the week of release, be brave, try something different. don t be a sheep sheep and yes you can mix it with other records. it just doesnt sound the same as all the other ones. you dont have to be into dubstep and grime to like these beats. its techno stupid.you get me featuring the mighty ben hudson aka rylen as the slimer they both spent a week eating crisps and grilled bacon to get this salty

after successful remixes for oliver koletzki, niko schwind and animal trainer, its björn störigs turn to deliver the goods on his first solo ep, >humming top<. and boy, does he deliver: the fresh youngster presents high-calibre musical house, spiced up with funk, disco and jazz aesthetics. title track >humming top< doesnt waste much time: crisp percussive elements are laid over a beefy bass-line from the get-go, while a progressive piano melody mingles with a distinctly vintage synth.

raz ohara brings his unique style to kindisch, in the form of the >see it coming< ep. raz holds true to his style of layering ghostly vocals with haunting melodies coupled with ambient percussive elements. we begin the ep with its title track >see it coming<, a colorful blend of melancholic tones on a chilled canvas of percussion. as a perpetual melody drives, delicately laid vocals narrate the journey to the subconscious. next up we get >deeper<, as raz brings out the bass on this one. dissonance and vocal chops harmonize over a heavy kick

following his dream ep release last year that featured an amazing j.t.c. remix, juanpablo drops us this time another especial production called mother mountain ep that shows clearly how hard he is pushing to create his own beat. last year his song dream was reviewed by some specialized media as hard to describe but easy to love and we think that the mother mountain track on this record will get a similar description. sea people is the second track and for this song juanpablo has invited spanish producer vinz vincenzo to collaborate with him in the production. this artist has been around for a long time and has made a lot of music in many different types that are far away from electronic genres which gives a plus to the end result of this production. and lastly, we have a remix of mother mountain by the mythic spanish producer arcanoid who has released on labels such as tesla, semantica, etc. his remix is pure techno, very hypnotic, dark and mental but always with his personal touch. probably the most club oriented tune on this record.

for this first release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by legendary detroit producer : jason grove. born in detroit, he started his career in the late 80s, dj-ing in underground parties when the techno house movement was just at the beginning. he was invited few times on detroit local stations such as wdrq & wjlb to play. some said he was at that time very close to the >wizard<, helping producing their first tracks with anthony srock as final cut. he had many opportunities during the 90s to release some of his work on various prestigious labels, however, as the guy is really hardcore & straight edge, he prefered to continue producing only with analog gears (dont ever speak to him about a computer or hell get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). we heard this story long times ago & it was only when we were in l.a. last year at pooh-bah record shop that we finally managed to get our hands on one of those tapes (one from june 1991 & the other one done in october 1992) with some of the best & incredible music we ve heard in years, it sounded like kerri chandler before kerri chandler did even start to release any tracks ! those first tapes are finally available after a hiatus of more than 15 years on vynil only (!)
