after selling out all previous releases to elite djs and collectors worldwide, the highly mysterius artifact imprint is back to its original aim, that is crafting obscure sonic weapons for disco ninjas! a side 15 minutes is credited to milanese crew love supreme and it is a mesmerizing disco rock rework that builds up to a climax that takes no prisoners. bottin has been playing this to massive dancefloor slaughter and has finally decided to share the blame. on the flipside speed is an enthralling car chase or grand prix if you wish, with throbbing bass, lasers and cowley-esque synth stabs, while frisbee is a rare italo groove, a funk gimmick topped by acid synth patterns, a latin lover voiceover and packs of sultry italian girls chanting >disco! disco!< and definity getting what they are craving for.

Über die letzten jahre gelang es den the fresh & onlys sich in die herzen einer immer grösser werdenden schar von fans zu spielen. die fresh & onlys sind so eine richtige lieblingsband. es gibt eigentlich niemanden, der dem charme des sängers tim cohen und seiner mannen nicht verfällt. früher oder später kriegen sie sie alle. das who is who der amerikanischen underground labels (woodsist, in the red und captured track) rissen sich darum ihre platten zu veröffentlichen, auf dem all tomorrows parties festival sind sie sowas wie ein stammgast, und bands wie black lips und deerhunter haben ihre lieblingsband mit auf tour genommen. diesen herbst folgt ihr inzwischen viertes album, das endlich auch in europa erscheint, auf souterrain transmissions, der heimat von crocodiles, moon duo, zola jesus und coco rosie. >long slow dance< (oder auch l.s.d.) heisst das album. abermals geht es sehr romantisch zu und hittig, man fühlt sich an go-betweens erinnert und frühe (gute!) r.e.m., aber alles glücklicherweise nicht glatt sondern schrullig. es fällt da nicht leicht ein anderes label ausser pop im besten sinne zu verwenden!

this single-side vinyl, pressed in 100 cps limited edition, is the happy ending of one of the most played tracks from our friends djs and strictly grooves followers. >sweet pussy pauline< is a classic, an hit that increases over the time, in months of gigs between berlin and reggio emilia, london and garda lake. our job is to make good music and share it with those who appreciate it, but this time we have done much more, because sweet pussy pauline has become a true piece of art in the hands of tatiana festi, who designed directly on record, label to label, 100 unique pieces. tatiana is a very renowed artist, becoming bigger and bigger thanks to her brilliant style, its creatures, its sensual girls, with languid eyes and provoking mouths. and though in acid colors, bright and pop, painted with a meticulous technique and surprising signs of felt pen, all have something of the femme fatale and at the same time, victims of love.

elitechnique is back! intrusion is a 8 track ep with some stunning tracks. the pair (remco de jong aka phako and florentijn boddendijk) find an ongoing source of inspiration in disco and electronic obscurities as weve learned from their previous releases (which have been played and charted by all the big names in modern disco), but combine this with their fascination for the great 60s and 70s soundtracks! the result is a timeless imaginary sound track that adds sex and intrigue to their music and unleashed from the chains of dancefloor productions. on this intrusion album they take freedom to play around with atmosphere, intensity and tension without only keeping the focus on the dance floor. the result is a great versatile ep which feels like a soundtrack for a 70s french movie! both being skilled producers and musicians the result is an album extraordinaire with all instruments and music played,recorded and arranged by themselfs over a period of more then a year! first 500 numbered copies come as collectors edition with full colour artwork and extra heavy vinyl!

after three albums for as many labels, dean blunt and inga copeland, also of the group hype williams, release their debut hyperdub lp, >black is beautiful<. amid rumours circulating, and confirmed by their advisor denna frances, the album was recorded during a tremulous period for the two: inga copelands arsenal girls tryouts, deans waschbärgate trial (he was implicated in being behind a one night robbing spree across 16 taxidermists based in london and the south east, allegedly only for racoons) and his subsequent conversion to nation of islam upon being acquitted. >black is beautiful< is laced with their signature hazy glow and is full of crunched eurovision lullabies, kinetic drum machine jams, unsettling funk, smeared walls of synth, moments of unadulterated opiated bliss, mogadon rap, infinite coughs and insights into the odd sexual behaviour of crackers. the word ebony occupies the albums entire front cover space in bold white print. >black is beautiful< is red and white.

hissy fit is the brainchild of the moustache mamas, part berlin, part london composed of a us east-coast sensibility and a uk north east sense of humour. its a vehicle to be able to work with the artists and release the music they love, to give something physical (yes all releases will be pressed on vinyl) to the people that spend all that time dancing when the girls are djing. the mamas have then built up a reputation of being grade-a party starters across europe, playing at the rawest of parties, and outshining some of the boys in the boys club. their approach to djing is mirrored in their approach to starting hissy fit, the girls are serious about their music even if the music itself doesnt need to be serious. for its first release hissy fit welcomes aboard leeds based >death on the balcony<. this year they have been cosying up to the likes of soul clap and the wolf and lamb posse, as well as being booked to play all over the damn place causing hissy fits of epic (yet joyous) proportions. the ep contains three originals, and kicks off with >every time< a synth-laced house jammer that brings in the clap & the punch with just the right oomph for the kids on the floor.

when no one is watching ramona, is usually listening to future times records and beautiful swimmers all days. maxmillion dunbar is not only half of those aquanauts, but also running the label and releasing music as max(million) d(unbar). what a guy! hanging out in the vague territory between slow-motion house with a hip hop feeling or dubby and dubious fun music, his melodious approach is extremely hard to categorize but all the more enjoyable. >polo< already saw the light of day on >max trax for world peace<, but ramonas favorite dj ata and live at robert johnson manager oliver hafenbauer were so much in love with the bleepy bonbon that they offered it a place by their fireside. now cautiously modified, fine-tuned and extended for its label home, its a rainforest serenade for beatnik boys and girls, with all the ingredients you want from tha d. the only kid able to thrown down the gauntlet in front of maxi is frankfurts melody man phillip lauer (arto mwambe, brontosaurus, etcetera etcetera). turning >polo< into one of his trademark sluggish bass line barrage tracks with falsetto synths and sharp snares. get your vogue brogue out.

persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world!in this era of nu-disco, space disco, cosmic disco, disco house and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court.let the labels fall and just get it movin.

its been 16 years since aquasky first started bashing out the beats on moving shadow and 10 years since they released the mind altering >777< on botchit & scarper. during these 16 years aquasky have messed about with most genres at most tempos... but always retaining their trademark bass and their retro rave vibes.and here we are... the first ep from their long awaited follow up album to >teamplayers< released on passenger back in 2006. going back to their tear-out roots and fully embracing the modern production sound of now along with a firm 140bpm footing, aquasky come out fighting. >raise the devil< is an albums worth of tracks that will awaken your inner devil... powerful, noisy, aggressive and militant. taking it back to the days when people partied hard in abandoned warehouses and muddy fields. but, i expect you know all of that already... its what aquasky do, and its what they do well!

hot deal! support by nick curly, reboot, karotte, robert dietz, mathias kaden, soul clap, dj hell, brothers vibe, &me, adam port and many more.. andrew soul continues to shine as one of the most exciting young talents form his native italy. his current switching positions ep on new yorks stranjjur imprint is winning many a plaudit and today he rolls into town with his latest offering on kiara records, too much love will kill you. andrew brings the funk with his deep bassy synth lines and pounding kick. he also continues to impress with his use of vocals, here using a pitched down soulful take. but its the bass that wins the day and takes control. watch the girls move! on the remix kiara welcome dutchman julien chaptal who dips his rework into some fierce nyc flavouring. killer drum pattern and a twist of the vocal bring a whole new face to the original whilst creating a fearsome and equally potent groov

percusa is back in 2011 with special colours, hot tunes and the third va ep! this time we start again with tracks from our greek label-mates v. sexion and bodj, also on board the mannheim duo sasch bbc & caspar, rounded up with the first release from jules & moss.

a shiny picture disco for slow motion records release number 7 - disco wizard by francisco from jolly music. beamed from distant satellites via 1983 and picked up by a crack team of berlin based italian disco commandoes, the disco wizard brings to mind space, the tougher end of pre-84 italo, guys with beards and grace jones and amanda lear dancing the night away. a nagging baseline propels the track forward with alternating male and female vocals that coo and tease, whilst twinkling refrain evokes the giogio morders classic >the chase<. on the flip side the dub mix strips away most of the vocals and injects some serious strut into the beats. the rougher, tougher cousin of the original to send the boys and girls wild with cosmic desire. you have been warned.

this is a great track holgi gave to emerson during the last weeks and it truly is a hell of a tune, one of those you just hear once and remember ever since from then on,…. it has this warm crisp feel, nice chords and a monstrous groove that makes the good looking girls wanna go crazy. i am sure you want to have that one in your crate just in case,… the sound is slightly more referring to the minimal/tech house beginnings of the micro.fon labelsound but still it perfectely adds up to the labels profile. included are two high class remixes by tim xavier

trust now is the keystone album of brooklyns prince rama. the album takes the kaleidoscopic mysticism of ancient devotional music and focuses it through the fierce urgency and archetypal language of pop, forming an environment that is both accessible and impenetrable. deep synths rise from a sparkling sea of gamelans and prayer bells as tribal drums pound the earth with the hypnotic power to heal or destroy. voices carry captivating and haunting melodies that shine like the diamond jewels of old bollywood soundtracks spilling over dark wave dance floors.
first conceived as a ritual to be performed live, the songs were fittingly recorded inside a 19th century church in seattle by scott colburn (sun city girls, animal collective, arcade fire). as their 5th full-length album, and first as a duo, trust now is perhaps prince ramas most focused, cohesive and powerful album to date.
comes with code for free digital download of this album.

in a time when rock critics saw the prodigy as a glorified keyboard player flanked by a couple of weird and scary dancers, liam howlett & co showed the world how dance had evolved away from the club scene and into the festivals & arenas.
and they did that by staying true to their own sound. while dance moved from acid house to rave to ambient to breakbeat & drum n bass, the prodigy changed their brand of hard-hitting breakbeat with king-sized hooks and unmissable samples only sparingly.
always outnumbered, never outgunned was the long-awaited album after their breakthrough smash fat of the land. featured on the album are namesake liam gallagher, kool keith, twista and even juliette lewis, morphed and wrangled beyond recognition on an album that goes back to the core of what the prodigy stands for: a thumping bass, mad beats & noise flying every which way but loose!

the second mercury ep - and we dont need to introduce the guys anymore for sure. from brodinski, dj mehdi, a-trak to cosmo vitelli, ajello and matt walsh - the last mercury release and their remixes for made to play, kitsune, tom trago have been played by djs from all kinds of scenes. it seems the guys found the perfect formula for mixing soul, house and contemporary electronica in a way that works perfect on 99% of the dancefloors of today. and still: this is not cheap music at all. mercurys complex production and clever songwriting guarantee that you want to listen to this music again and again. now the guys strike back with an ep where its hard to choose the main track. play these tunes.. peaktime or warm up... people will scream and shout. especially - as always with gomma records - the girls will love it... hehe.

rather lightweight live album, only thirty four minutes long, three songs and some painful applause herding for an encore. the line-up is essentially the girls line-up, though john g. perry s been replaced by an also-excellent mike wedgwood. the production is clear but the mix misjudged: the admittedly nicely brought out bass sound dwarfs all other elements. in particular, pye hastings guitar is very low, the drums never seem to match the bass volume.

ashford & simpsons return to europe for the first time in 20 years is celebrated with the release of this 16 classic song compilation on limited edition double album. nicholas ashford & valerie simpson are soul icons responsible for gold and platinum hits through the 60s, 70s and 80s for such artists as marvin gaye, chaka khan, diana ross and gladys knight (their solo hits include >solid<). this is the first time many of these have been assembled on one collection, but expansion have gone one step further by combining the hits with seminal disco records like >over & over< (sylvester), the two-step anthem >keep away girls< (stephanie mills), the awesome >california soul< (by marlena shaw, as utilized by kfc), the modern soul smash >top of the stairs< (collins & collins) and an exclusive remix of >aint no mountain high enough< (marvin gaye/tammi terrell).

blue skies and late nights, camp fires and cheap delights and whisky drained straight from the jar. in a hammock slung below a sky of dreams and sea of stars lay a pop princess and a hip hop pioneer, arms entwined and eyes locked into each others stare they whisper sweet – nothings to each other, >you re flash< he says >take it slow< she purrs back >and dont even dont think about going down under!< a mile or two out to sea, floats what has come to be known as a mega-yacht. aboard his life like an episode of mtv cribs but with more parties and less gold-encrusted pool tables. surrounded by beauties by the bevy and sipping on gin and juice, duff scans the horizon with his telescope (solid platinum, encrusted with diamonds, built in infa red) and spies young love or a new hope. smiling to himself he thinks >they look different, younger perhaps at least changed, if not for the better but changed at least which is surely a good thing<. he turns to the girls on the boat, one hand pointing to the shore and the other raising his drink to the sky he shouts >i helped create that<.

supported by: burns, helsinki 78-82, etc you know we love disco, right? so meet our latest signing from helsinki, bright shades. ville & roope who together are bright shades, are no strangers to dance music as they already have several years of dj experience under their belt and their debut ep is a tribute to all the disco music they love. their tracks are bursting with energy and definitely designed to the dance floor. with the current state of disco business, we know this is a breath of fresh air.bright shades already have a ton of remix work lined up for them, even before the release of their debut ep so we predict a bright (pun intended) future for them. welcome guys, we love disco and house too.

philip bader, sascha braemer and nicone have been assembled in the studio and there it was: the new dantze. two wonderfully groovy tracks, perfect for the late summer, open airs and freak out moments on the dancefloor. dantze boy is a deep, hypnotic track with crazy cool rolling beats, vocal fragments and a driving synth. dantze girl will inspire the girls. guitars, vocals, love - everything that goes with it. typical bader, braemer, nicone. peace.

eleventh and conclusive ten inch of the la series comes from two thirds of the sa-ra creative partners shafiq husayn and om mas keith. working solo on each side shafiq is first with seven minutes of funk split into three parts. >dna splice mix< is an intense mix of hip hop and funk beats, chopped vocals, jazz and soul combining to form an infectious for-the-heads downtown la sound. flipping over om mas goes uptown and gives us a more polished sound with a leftfield r n b - hip hop vocal track >girls a player<. instrumental plus accapella included for potential remixers.

part one of two, featuring remixes by plaid for various artists.

tes la roks highly anticipated debut album entitled >them< will finally see the light of day. tes la rok made his name in dubstep circles in 2007 with the massive >round the world girls remix< which immediately positioned him as one of the most exciting artists and definitely one to watch. anthem releases such as >under the dancing feet< remix for clouds, >wikidness remix< for mungos hi-fi, and >up in the vip / living fire< on dub police were soon followed by bookings at dmz in brixton and dubstep mecca fwd>> at plastic people. >them< features thirteen tracks engineered with precision and care. these tracks are being championed by the main players such as distance, n-type, kryptic, minds, desto, pinch, addison groove and cyrus.
