throughout the ages man has been obsessed with the idea of the dead coming back to us, either through the power of faith, magic and/or science, or as (horror) arousing visitations from beyond the grave. but cold hands like these neednt be physical: an ambiguous childhood memory, a few burning phrases from a book, or a short but powerful patchwork of tones and rhythms can also come back and haunt you when you least expect it. ritual malmö 02 consists of three such works that have haunted us for some time now, beseeching us to share them like cursed japanese vhs-tapes. who we are is not important - this is forever yours now.

nine tracks that further expand on alessandros interpretation of ghoulish body music. alessandro adriani has become a trusted source for all kinds of beyond-the-grave minimal synth, industrial and coldwave delights.aside from his work in releasing forgotten gems and up to the minute synth incantations, adriani has also been quietly issuing out his own music as well. primarily this has taken the shape of newclear waves, having surfaced on split tapes and 7inches on mannequin as well as an album on desire back in 2012.

the energy and versatility were used to when reinier zonneveld takes the decks is immediately evident in his latest ep. opening preceedings with sharp bust, a straight and to the point trancy bassline leads the way. decked by mechanic stabs and hi-hats, the groove is simply hypnotic and relentless. rushchamber, on the other hand, bears a subversive groove, with a minimal and dark bassline. glitchy cut up vocals give an eerie feel, as the whole atmosphere becomes more and more immersive by the way of multi-layered drums. the final offering, flatchat is anything but flat. its intricate groove shares the dark and immersive territory of the previous track, while another set of cut up vocals draw instant attention. a descending lead padded with reverb and stabby synths, the last track rounds up the release, ending on a grave and intense note.

endill006 goes split. scottish stephen lopkin and greek dimdj have delivered quality detroit informed house tunes straight for the floors, except “grave roll” which can be nice opening track. 909 turns 707 and it’s not endless illusion without proper synth lines.

already founding member of phosphor and currently in leave the planet, nathalia bruno is shaping her own way to those sounds bands as tropic of cancer and northern electronics’ född död have also been pursuing. there’s a brighter component to drift’s music visible both in shiny tracks like grave and hard to accept as in the more ethereal dreams in silkscreen and say it right. featuring six songs, black devotion marks the birth of what nathalia herself calls devotional synth.

the glorious creative love affair between londoner jozif and la­ based culprit continues unabated, with the artists fourth release for the imprint in as many years.

dark, deep, minimal and raw with sprinkles of kassem and levon. imagine a 7am bomb-track dropped on a post-apocalyptic dc-10 terrace after the nuclear fallout. a dystopian venture into the void whilst keeping a lollopping dancefloor sensibiliy alive. listen out for the ghostly samples calling from beyond the grave. in other words, killer!

the second release of inkblots involves three great artists deeply active into the international techno scene: the japanese go hiyama and the berlin based duo i/y. on side a, go hiyama’s first track ‘recur’ delivers sinister atmospheres matched with a tough kick and industrial bleepy elements. slow and paranoic drones get in and out contributing to enlarge the sound perception. the second track ‘prop’ introduces elegant hi-hats and strident synths. a captivating kick perfectly embraces the shrill synths waving together with the sharp drum, what remains of the first side is just tense ambients, forewarning the journey is not over. side b smells like a dark club firing up, indeed i/y’s aim is not different at all. ’thesys 0000.001’ debuts with a thin bassline and distorted grave surroundings. the track evolves with clean slap hats sound in an empty echo chamber. deep timbres rise and fall, turning the entire route gently aggressive. the second track is an idm experiment which keeps a trippy approach and the clarity of claps and hi-hats. solid as the first one, ‘thesys 0000.003’ sets itself as an hypnotic but pleasant moment where suspicious fragments quickly appear and disappear: a sparkled trip to be enjoyed anytime but not by anyone.

3rd release of downbeat black label, the sublabel of downbeat. the owners of the label, jose rico, urtzi and f-on present us two long slow motion tracks with field recordings, whirring melodies and voices from beyond the grave. two dense experiments which show us the less kind side of downbeat and continue along the path opened up by *solaris*. only 200 copies pressed.

remixes of dj q and louise williams *trust again*. we gave the acapella to our friends and this is what came back.

new york techno producer shawn o sullivan makes his return to l.i.e.s. under his vapauteen moniker. after an amazing release on avian as 400ppm and a collaborative effort on the corner with beau wanzer, here we get o sullivan turning down the bpms and slowly crushing everything in sight. the a-side provides three tracks of unforgiving modular slowcore beat electronics which trudge their way to the grave, while the b-side is strictly about power electronics and harsh tone work outs. sure to piss off someone on the internet or better yet, in real life.

ldnwht. london white - new london based vinyl only project, great 2nd release comp. feat. superb cut from audio injection...
solid feedback and support so far from: ben sims, shifted, surgeon, henning baer, norman nodge, boris (ostgut ton), jeroen search

following the success of factors compilations chandelier and lawson graham, the beatsmith embarked on a concept record in the vein of a prince among thieves and wound up with the melodic, complex symphony of woke up alone, mixed by factor himself at his home studio and featuring roles played by ceschi, open mike eagle, onry ozzborn, myka 9 and astronautalis. factors relatable allegory, scored by swirling synths, samples and live instrumentation, extends well beyond necromancy, as multitudes upon multitudes have gazed haphazardly in the rear view mirror and tried to resuscitate that which is irreparably gone.

a luxury release on heavyweight double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold sleeve. all tracks recorde in 1961 at gaslight cafe, nyc (1-6) and bonnie beechers apartment, minnesota (7-24).

ethereal, haunted deep house music from beyond the grave, spirit-channeling from the deepest recesses of electro-spiritual obscurity. the slow to speak label presents its latest offering—a residual of the holy-era of the ny underground continuum, conjuring the ritual and pomp of the new electronic goth without abandoning its undeniable roots in the techno/deep house story. dark-matter melodies interlock in an ever off-centering orbit of sparse percussive return, while the distorted exhortations of some wandering intergalactic phantasm whisper menacingly just beneath the surface. trance-inducing, strangely unsettling and ultimately transcendent—further evidence that electronic music can transport its listeners into the fertile pastures of the sublime like any other high art. clear vinyl pressing with japanese obi.

released through future classic (flight facilities, flume, luke million), ‘its not over is the dark horse of the content-heavy indie-dance world.

double 12 of jared wilson style skudge.... deep acid vibes. new school detroit.... fresh! tip!

ltd nice price copies !!! new project by damian schwartz !!! sam the mummy lives in the deepest catacombs of his existence. hardly ever he can be seen on the surface and just a few ones have the >honor< of knowing him. even stranger it is his relationship with damián schwartz, the only person allowed to listen and disclose his awesome and disturbing works. here is the first one: untitled1 (mupa008). it starts with cradle, a brief but captivating prologue. and from the cradle to the grave, here comes untuned (interview), where sam introduces us in his most personal universe, crumbling his darkest secrets. soon we can see what hes up to, because despite of appearing as a hard and cold guy, on the very first beats he reveals pure soul music. tireless groove with magnificent salsa touches, bittersweet cymbals and congas that run with an intimidating elegance. on b side, pharaon s cat introduces stand up. little by little, it steps into a background of hypnotic and jazzy sequences accompanied by aristocratic piano notes that try to break into, but can only go out on tiptoes. so smart and so danceable at the same time.

nice price deal !!! they done found the flow is the new six-track ep from norways critically revered oslo flow. the most eagerly anticipated scratch music release in years!
art is dead. music is dead. scratch music is long dead and rotting in its unmarked grave. but wait - what is this? blam and plato on magnificent stallions riding out of the norwegian dawn to save the day with they done found the flow. thank sweet odens raven we are saved! balance has been restored to the universe - oslo flow style.
they dont sound like anyone else. they work outside the boundaries of the possible. they are unique voices in what is becoming an increasingly dull conversation. and most importantly, they are funkier than an old piece of provolone in a hard working hookers panties. now play the f**king record and prepare to tremble.

kill for love, chromatics first album since night drive, finally gives this loosely associated, prematurely decayed musical aesthetic its magnum opus and brilliantly transcends it.

owain glyndwr has become a symbol of pride and freedom. he sacrificed everything for his dreams. where he died is not known, and the location of his grave has become one of the great mysteries of welsh history. owain attempted to capture the site of ‘chastiel bran’ or ‘crow castle’ in 1402. unfortunately he failed and the castle remains as a local monument to this very day. ccc1402 is the final chapter of the collectors quad pack, to celebrate that, we are even quad stamping the release for you in blood red ink. the music will speak for itself.
limited release of 500 handnumbered & stamped copies on transparent red vinyl.

2x 12 inch lp with brilliant hypnotical stuff by jesse somfay !!!

blasting off the a-side is >gravity<, a high-tempo number picking up linear momentum verse after verse, featuring serious vocals by g-tech. on the flip, cari goldens soulful vocals chime in and out of the expressional >no one knows<. safeword, a magnetic duo comprised of clint stewart and marc smith from san francisco, remix >gravity< through heaven and hell as >sunset< delivers a calm and spiritual opening piece slowly easing the listener into >tenderloin<, a dark, grave track with subdued vocals and feeble beats.

soniculture, the lisbon-based label, proudly presents billy dalessandros 5th album entitled cracktime. this project forges a new generation of production style and sound design for billy as he cocks the shotgun of his latest experiment in electronic debauchery. cracktime sonically defines those innocent and naughty moments that each of us exhibit, in our own way, that helps to fulfill our lives with all those insane memories we carry with us back to the grave. thirteen tracks round out this ring match in a dub-infused, 303- injected, chicago-style bassd-out fight that lasts just about an hour. so sit back (or jack back) to the show, and remember...that if religion is the opium of the masses, music definitely gives us our daily crack.

four obscure italo, funk and electronic tracks directly from the marcellos 7 inch collection. zombi and in the land of zombi are two killer dub disco tracks released in the south of italy in 1979. enigma are from germany, but released on the super disco italian label out, the track sounds like a space soundtrack with arpeggios and chorus from the grave. why o is a 100% italian afro disco track produced by the maestro paolo ormi.

nice price deal !!! the songs on yachts debut album see mystery lights from the bouncy, burbling you cant take it with you screed the afterlife (which plays like a less spastic companion piece to the mae shis run to your grave) to the roller rink ready vocoder vocals of im in love with a ripper represent yacht at their most poppy. its a collection of stone jams that finds the band finally as hellbent on experimenting and expanding the boundaries of its sonic scope as it is on having fun. built on electronic foundations laser effects, skittering computerized beats, and spacey synth lines (or guitar riffs that have been tuned or distorted to sound like synths) these new songs are giddy with creative freedom while remaining tethered in service of their melodies. the vocal melodies are bright and buoyant, but delivered (by either band member, or in unison) in a chanted, oftentimes detached monotone that plays up the repetitive lyrics mantra like feel and adds a welcome undercurrent of slacker cool to their otherwise sugary optimism.

2002 classic!! lupine howl take you omn a psychedelic trip that heavily rocks!!

2x 15mins of ultra hypno house!! big with ricardo villalobos, prins thomas, laurent garnier,… unarguably, the best way to prepare umu is inside a hole in the ground. go find a nice flat land, preferably your mother in laws lawn, gather friends, ask them to bring wine. youll need a well amplified turntable playing mania #11 on a loop. cut the grass using a flat shovel, four or six square pieces of 50 cms, lifting the grass with its roots and some soil, move aside. now you have a clean area of about 1.5 mts square, dig in it to a depth of about 50 cms (come on, it will make you sweat profusely but you need this shallow grave to feel the magik of easter islands umu!).

support : richie hawtin / tobi neumann / villalobos / dj hell / onur Özer / karotte / gregor tresher / butch / david keno / popof / monika kruse... though the last heckmann - silverscreen is still rotating on the decks of the planet and in the cases of the great entertainers, he strikes again with his brand new series called las vegas ! it will be a story of three 12 inches that will lead to a complete cd album with extra tracks to complete the whole ! the main track las vegas is rushing in like a storm and is rocking as if there was no tomorrow ! fat beats, fat bassline and countless little far out effects, that will tickle your synapses big time ! the second track neon grave takes the story further and will lift even the last man on earth with its electro-latino feel, illuminating bassline and the heckmann style effect-arrays

dj ogi is in every way one of the pioneers of the electronic music scence in croatia. his hard pumping techno sets blended with dark elements, served on 3 decks, made him play the major events and festivals in central europe such as love parade or valkana beach and of the legendary ambasada gavioli. and soon his records found their way onto grave imprints like compressed, planet rhythm, holzplatten or compound

hammered by steve bug, ralph lawson, simon baker, mike shannon, tommy four seven, phonogenic, so strong! after a fab 3 track ep on 2020 vision in the last couple of months, burnski is back with his second ep on morris audio. >skip tha< is a great peace of house music, which sounds great in either the warm up or grave yard slot of the night. with smooth melodys, funky bassline and a great groove, is has everything to get people jackin! on the flip comes a awesome remix from slg (trapez, channels records), who speeds up the pace and gets things moving with his trademark tricky patterns. a absoloute must have record for two artists causing alot of hype at the minute - this record shows why!

rekids present >ghouls< by the multi-talented music for freaks luke solomon. a massive stomper of a record with heavy drums aplenty - this is the peak time jackin house that luke does to perfection. this killer 12inch also features a hot remix from man of the moment >claude von stroke<. he takes things strictly minimal but bouncy then beefs things up near the end of his mix as the bassline turns much more snarling. perfect for the dance floor!
