nobody can deny the fact that vilnius in lithuania is currently a very creative and agile place. first and foremost mario basanov of course, whose ten walls moniker swept the board last year and whose hype seems to have only just started. his popularity was heightened by the start of his own label boso. it took off with the highly praised -walking with elephants-, which was already one of the biggest tunes of this summer, before it even came out. the second release is by few nolder, another highly talented native from vilnius, who showed frst signs of life on connaisseur with his lovely tune -space espace- on our last edition of livingroom techno as well as with his remix for -canto d amore- by marco effe & francesco carone. -clouds- is the name of his boso release, and it looks to be the next big thing for this young label. for his frst own release on connaisseur he delivered -if-.the fact that it is different from his other output is why we have decided to present this tune in two versions as a 10- vinyl-only single. the original is a summerish and catchy house cut with a bouncy bassline and a slightly uk-approach.this tune makes you move without there being much you can do about it. the alt version goes deeper, building up with a question/answer theme until a strong, driving piano element joins to complete the track. lovers of older pokerflat releases will truly enjoy this version.

for our second release on wavereform, we continue our explorations into sophisticated sounds from mostly-unexplored areas with the production debut from juras lietus, a 25 year-old latvian producer from riga whose mysterious origins in this out-of-the-way locale may surprise listeners, but whose sound fits very well into the label’s mission to reform the sound sphere with simple and elegant tracks that demand attention and bring unknown talent deserved notice. lietus wastes no time in showing off his developed dub techno style on >dark frank< as the bold, well-defined contours of the bottom end are contrasted with gentler ambient textures in the opening, it acquires more force as it moves along as he adds harder percussion patterns to the framework while the dense atmospherics progress barely in the background. >direct< is the more subtle and atmospheric of the pair, as crisp, delicate drums develop slowly while also suggesting melody. it too gains strength as it goes though, with ricocheting percussion and a barely-controlled feedback wail leading into a dramatic breakdown before he slowly winds things down in the detail-rich final section. j&#363,,,,,,,ras lietus and latvian techno may be mostly unknown, but this strong showing for wavereform 002 reveals much still to be uncovered in these eastern lands.

eosophobia - a morbid fear of daylight. a title fitting of primary colours latest release by the australian duo, the echo inspectors. conceived on a dark autumn night, eosophobia is a creation of the strange and disturbed. entities materialize, delicate and shy, these beings thrive in the dark. their conviction becomes evident as the night sky turns a darker shade of black, a pulsating and heaving sub sonic landscape emerges for the creatures of the night. life is short lived as dark turns to light, they scampering in to the shadows. resoe, copenhagen s ruler of the deep and dub, takes control of this creation. forming and reconstructing it in to a more powerful, ravenous creature. a fear of light fuels this being to become menacing, unstable and unpredictable. vigour builds swiftly, seething as the cold autumn night goes on. confidence only grows stronger and stronger as the night feeds its hunger only to be destroyed with a sudden shard of light, withering to oblivion.

this is a special ltd release of only 200 – for those situations where no-one wants to see the dawn.

tiagos interzona 13 label has two sold out and superb eps to its name already and we are very happy to present their third. tiagos unique reputation as a dj is matched by the distinctive quality of his productions primeira visao sounds like a track that might emerge in the mix on a vintage chicago cassette, iberican jazz-funk top lines and raw, snapping drum machines beneath. segunda visao could quite easily be a vintage black cock or noid release, a wonderfully psychedelic disco rewire, that goes way beyond the world of ten a penny edits finally cruzar facas takes a tougher path to dancefloor emancipation, marrying a fierce, pitched down techno groove to some seriously heady soundscape and tonal effects another beauty then from this outstanding, diverse and incomparable imprint.

s3a, rhythm&soul, cecil, adepte on slow towns 6th release! four cuts that goes from the sexy garage touch of rhythm&souls say u will, the amazingly organic funk touch of what i dreamt from the parisien golden boy s3a to the aggressive naughty groove of the cecil or the bizarre uptempo beats of hidden treasure from paris, the new comer, adepte.

without a doubt, manfredi romano (aka dj tennis) is a busy man. co-founder and partner of life and death, a dj with a full schedule and someone who still always has his fingers (and mind) in multiple projects and multiple places at the same time. how he juggles it (or when he sleeps) are questions best not pondered. one thing those who know him well have surely noticed is that he does it all while constantly on the move. unfazed by the constant whirl of cities that pass him by, he somehow manages to remain focused throughout. no matter where he goes, he somehow always manages to remain local.

miss djax is proof that age doesnt necessarily always bring peace. for 25 years now, she has stomped on the face of techno and acid with hard punishing beats and radioactive 303 sounds.
with her new release *from within* she goes back to the acid sound of the nineties. she recorded the 4 tracks live in her little analog home studio just like in the old days. *from within* is a tribute to her old-skool fans. a release on solid 180 grams yellow coloured vinyl in a limited edition of 200 copies only.

japanese label ragrange with japanese jazz funk house cuts from no milk that got a remix treatment. kez ym goes deep and gives some nasty funky grooves.

if you re going to launch a label, it s always wise to start with a bang. that s exactly what newcomers audio visual have done here, recruiting detroit veteran terrence dixon and chez damier cohort michael zucker (boss of finale recordings, no less) for a four-track trip into deep techno and intergalactic house. dixon goes deep into the groove on the hissing, intoxicating deep techno roller -mta-, before delivering a touch more melody on the retro-futurist gem -over the top-. zucker, on the other hand, opts for a jaydee-does-deep house feel to -foundation (part 1)-, before setting off towards the heavens with the deliciously deep, smooth reflections

after a brief hiatus church are back with a debut offering of original material from apes. the a side *two thousand six* is a straight up techno work out, having been tried and tested this track is aimed directly at the dance floor. chaos in the cbd are on board for the remix taking us on a journey of warm, deep, subtle analogue house fresh off the back of their stand out track *78 to stanley bay*. the b side *cold love* goes some way to show apes’ versatility as a producer, it’s a nostalgic piece of work, with a pulsating bass-line driving through the track along with intricate percussion and a choice vocal sample to round things off. cold love is equally suited for the club or for home listening. apes right hand man seb wildblood takes the track in a slightly different direction, using elements of the percussion and transforming the vocal sample for a delightful melodic contribution to the ep. early support from paul woolford, breach, ben pearce, dusky, alexander nut & more.

after theremynts lp space control – a journey into electronic music offered by jan richard & eva peel, the trip goes on with this new ep talking about human and robot love, one of theremynts favourite theme (rachel rosen - on the first album was inspired from philip k.dick *do androids dream of electric sheep* aka blade runner).

emotional especial gathers pace with an eighth release from richard sen, a man whose cultured touch has had a hand in various strands of the uk underground for the past two decades. graffiti artist, graphic designer, music curator, dj and producer are all vocations richard sen has done at one point or another. here he goes solo with the ghost train ep, a dark and brooding release of old school meets new school house jack that takes its cues from 80s new york, italian house and the nascent uk acid house that sen himself documented with aplomb on a 2012 compilation for strut. naggingly familiar samples and a low slung box jam groove drive the spectral title cut forward, whilst sens mastery of delay is shown with aplomb on the dub version that closes out the record. nestled in between is the highlight however in *meteor shower* where discoid basslines merge with psychedelically charged keys and hollowed out steppers percussion.

the 9th vinyl release is here and we re very glad that, after a long time, we finally have the noisemaker back on the label. and this time on wax. the noisemaker, new label / agency regular member, has putted all of his finesse in 4 new outstanding productions. this new ep is an experience with various feelings emerging from the different moods of the tracks. sometimes it goes on with broken beats, sometimes it is just straight and it always comes with hypnotic, tripping raw and acid synthetizers, entertaining rythmics, all wrapped in dark atmospheres. the ep is supported by a high quality remix from american techno legend paul birken that delivered a real cutting edge rework of the original track -processing-. more than a remix, we could call it a reinterpretation. paul s very own flow is immediately hitting with patterns running crazy and an intense energy which is raised by heavy bass drums and slashing percs.

techno as it should be!! pvs (already released on his own label h.omevvork and the prestigious mrec ltd) has signed one side of the vinyl with 2 tracks. the other side is signed by the spanish hector oaks, already highly appreciated as a dj and as a producer, wherever he goes.you have to listen to the record, everything else is just talk. lets do it!

vinyl only - limited edition 180 gram pressing! >reforming digital waves by simple & elegant music patterns< - a straightforward mission statement for a new imprint, and one whose understated, direct manner shows the music-centered focus of wavereform as we reveal our first release. the >new sky< ep is the production debut of a mysterious new russian talent known as ivanov, and about whom little is known past his reclusive buddhist existence and his background in guitar, which is clearly evident on the title track. underlain by rising and falling atmospheric washes and understated percussion, >new sky< is propelled by a funky, jazzy and clearly organic keyboard solo that closely approximates his familiar stringed instrument in texture, tone, and musical development. next up is minimal legend soulphiction, who masterfully beefs up the original with a fat, growling bassline and more aggressive, hard hitting drums and claps that take the dreamy mood of ivanovs track and transform it into something more cosmic and psychedelic while retaining its musicality. on the flip, a new tune entitled >deep< gets revisited by lucidflow label heads klartraum, who have recently shifted their digital imprint to vinyl. here they bring things towards the dubbier end of the spectrum with a slow-building track that goes from hazy beginnings to an ominous, dramatic breakdown and then into a harder grooving second half. taken together, these three tracks are an auspicious beginning for a new name and label, and in fulfilling the stated goals offer great promise of things to come.

this is second instalment of the hot natured remix project. part two features nic fancuill’s tech-driven barnstormer of a remix of benediction! hot on its heels is luca c & brigantes dirty disco-tinged cosmic-house beast of a remix of alternate state. on the b side citizen goes to work transforming *take you there* into brooding deep maelstrom of a mix, dark and sinister. finally tom shorterz tweaks out the original of reverse skydiving into techy dark groove affair that completes this great remix package.

oh yes, this a heavyweight bad boy on gamm from french beatmaker/producer izem. after his extensive travels around the globe the sound on the ep is influenced by africa, cuba as well as the middle east.
itt is an electronic take on a classic fela joint, celia (cruz) goes along a similar route but on the latin tip. both are pretty nasty and a near perfect marriage between futuristic productions and raw retro samples. finishing off the ep we get served a slice of arabic boogie using hipnotics hard to find boogie gem *are you lonely* and some fierce middle eastern vocals.

after 20 years of experience, gary martin couldnt resist a 12 inch that is also the 50th release for teknotika: a label from detroit that didnt exactly stick with the game when it switched to the mp3 format. *basking in blackness* is a composition of textured broken beat then classic four on the floor old school soul. *synthotika* is what would happen if a synthasizer could take over an orchestra. a track inspired by detroit peers no doubt. *every bit as beautiful* goes sensative deep house piano, a lil latin percussion and soaring eno-esque synths to top it off. the title is a bit sarcastic, let us face it, there is no life after techno!
pressing on grey marbled vinyl.
