dekmantel is thrilled to announce an exciting new project by the impeccable robert hood. over the course of three different eps and an album, the detroit legend presents paradygm shift. hood: ‘‘the idea behind paradygm shift is similar to a shift in our focus. we can become so complacent, we are so comfortable with our surroundings, i think this is the time for electronic music to find a new mindset.’’ the form lockers ep kicks of the series with great anticipation. two tracks that have ‘rob hood’ written all over it: minimalistic beasts, bursting from energy and meticulously crafted by the hand of a master producer. ‘form’ slowly but surely creeps upon you, a slow starter, but in the end the techno funk-finesse will roar like a detroit car engine. ‘lockers’ follows a slightly more melodic path, keeping the momentum by delivering body shaking, pulsating techno, deep and timeless just the way we like it. it’s a pleasure to present you these two slayers, and there’s more to come.

die kölner band vimes kündigt endlich ihr debütalbum *nights in limbo* auf humming records an! für azhar syed und julian stetter war das debüt kein leichtes unterfangen, waren doch die erwartungen nach ersten euphorisch aufgenommenen single-veröffentlichungen wie *celestial* oder *ential*, auftritten bei internationalen showcase-festivals wie dem eurosonic (nl), dem great escape (uk) und sxsw (usa) sowie remixen für josef salvat oder kat vinter immens und die nachfrage immer gleich: *wann kommt denn euer album?*. gemeinsam mit produzent jochen naaf (xul zolar, hundreds) verschanzten sich die wahl-kölner im studio und bastelten gemeinsam in unzähligen monaten am langspieler. mit -nights in limbo- erwartet uns nun ein mix aus elektronischem pop, detailversessen arrangiertem listening-techno, abstraktem pop aber auch dezentem house. es sind lieder, die die grenzen zwischen song und track ausreizen und vimes teils experimenteller und teils zugänglicher als bisher zeigen.
das 180 gramm doppel-vinyl erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

repress !! having wowed critics and crate-diggers alike with 2012s acclaimed magik cyrkles compilation, psychemagik are now ready to unleash the follow-up, magik sunrise. bristling with psychedelic, cosmic and curiously balearic oddities hand-picked from the depths of their vast record collections, magik sunrise is, if anything, even more inspired that its predecessor.
given that magik cyrkles was widely considered to be one of the best compilations of 2012, that is some feat. that collection garnered praise across the board, appearing in the end-of-year charts of rough trade, juno and piccadilly records. as if that wasnt enough, dj magazine also described it as f***ing great! for magik sunrise, the kent-based duo has dug even deeper into the dusty corners of their record vault, deep in the cosmic forest. the result is another inspired, 15-track collection that gleefully skips between all manner of forgotten gems and little-known nuggets, occasionally stopping to acclaim an otherwise unknown track or artist.

zoo lab is proud to present the first vinyl and for this, they have decided to focus on the italian duo dubfluss which have already released in labels like moan, serkal and bla bla music, yoruba grooves and more. -sumobooth- and -falser lullaby- reflect their typical minimal dub style, rich of synth, variations and vocals. two tracks are finely worked to have a great impact in the dancefloor. near them, there are two very characteristic remixers who have proposed their own versions of -sumobooth-: arado ( desolat-moon harbour ) with a strong techno version played around the world, from india to germany, and neverdogs (moan-music on), with a classic tech style version played during music on parties at amnesia ibiza.

for this new “edits” issue, we are introducing rutes from london, a great digger and dj we met in 2014 at camp cosmic (sweden). he proposed us a bunch of really great cuts, and we’ve chosen those five to make a very special record. from exotic esoteric dance, to sleazy new wave, on to brutal minimal synth weapon, dubby horny post punk, climaxing on the most lovely musical nugget. we love this record so much, hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

acid house pioneer jaime read is one of the few uk artists who has had the dubious honour of being ripped off by chicago house royalty. never one to let this early setback hold him back, jaime has gone on to an illustrious career, producing great music since the early nineties, and more recently in collaboration with legendary uk deejay felix dickinson under the name l.h.a.s. inc (larry heard appreciation society) this 4 track solo ep sees him mastering a variety of styles. the opener is a dreamy emotional r&b number called is it real what u feel? which features a gorgeous vocal turn from jaime himself. kaanlile floats a sumptuous melodica line over some mellow electro influenced acid. deep cut rolling dreams has slinky piano, soaring house strings, more vocals and strong ecstasy vibes. finally, a night in shirley closes out the ep in a beautiful boogie influenced, relentless but mellow groove

vinyl only. recruited by chez damier at a very young age to release on balance, jorge caiado took on the house and techno pioneers teachings to shape his own sound. also early on he got involved with the local scene by joining groovement, where he releases music and also helps to develop the artistic side of the label. his new “sunny days are coming” 3 track ep refers to the beautiful lisbon light but also to the idea of his music being a deep but uplifting journey full of discovery. it is clear that jorge’s sound is always evolving, be it in house or techno realms, therefore this new record raises the bar once by exploring the edge of electronic music field. tested with great reaction at lux dancefloor in lisbon, this ep will appeal to classic balance fans but will go beyond by reaching detroit and berlin music aficionados also

nice price deal !!! manchester s techno alchemist and master of the roland tr-808, the enigmatic mr.raw, debuting mancdetroit 12” on win or loose records straight outta toronto ca! long term nightclub shaman on the northwest of england circuit, raw served time in rotterdam s early 90s gabba circles before returning back to manchester to twist brain s n bodies with his wild blend of freestyle techno. raw s witnessed trends in production go from hardware to soft and back again but he s never strayed from a solid rack mount set up based solely around the tr-808. with a few added choice fx processors raw s style is loose n live and captures a pure spirit rarely exercised by today s pacified youth. -perseus dance- sounds like the kind of shit the great ron hardy would jam on, with two copies, for hours. inflicting a sherm-stick flavored mind-blast to the floor that may have indeed caused the good man to blush, we find percolating 808 percussion woven together with a mystic, fizzing lead line and twangy analogue artifacts. darkside acid dragged wailing and whining from rusholmes drains. flip and we have -hard on-: a twisted x-rated porno horror jam. raw s rapid-fire double-speed drum loops firing away while a plethora of abhorrent vox and coital sounds converge onto the track. a total wrecking ball of filth and hellish distortion which just smolders away in the basement of some sadistic nightclub like a rotten but highly intoxicating fungus ready to switch on any passing freaks.

we are new york bound for the second release from rex music, as we invite the charismatic boss of soul people music, fred p-aka black jazz consortium to bring us an exquisite ep, which holds true to his persona: elegant, deep and refined. like the chronology of a day, evolving from dawn to dusk, fred p takes us on a journey through three well-crafted tracks to compose an intimate ballad. ‘wave patterns’ sets the tone with a smooth, airy atmosphere – minimalist yet progressive, it will have you enraptured as the subtle pads weave in and out of the background, dancing a pirouette with the low end. the dubby, hypnotic ripple of the bass ushers in a bright glow like sunrise at the beginning of a glorious day...from there, we move on to side b where ‘continuous sensation’ accompanies us until sunset. soothing and playful, with a delightful string riff and mellow, warm bassline, it’s full of the joys of the daytime. finally, fred p closes out the ep with a harder, more angular workout. ‘unbroken circles’ is made for the twilight hours, when the sun has set and we’re wrapped up in a warm, dense evening. simple, mysterious and crisp… a great way to finish up an outstanding ep from our man, fred p

q3a is a new alias of route 8, a producer who has credits on labels like lobster theremin and nous as well as black venison. now the producer serves up a sumptuous four track ep, space chamber, on the delsin label and it touches on many different styles with equally great results. lost souls is first and is an expansive bit of well driven deep house with rich synths and cavernous innards that really suck you in. next up is another serenely crafted bit of atmospheric house with dusty drums and lose hits all backed with heavenly pads and retro bass. the first of the b-side tracks is a chunky acid kicker with angelic vocals drifting up top as a controlled 303 line rips up the foreground. spaced out and deep, driving yet emotive, it is a moving bit of club music before the b2 trips you out on a silvery electro tip with its icy lines and slap-funk snares. overall, this is an expansive and perfectly formed ep and comes with a sleeve by boris tellegen.

the last few years has seen parris make a name for himself across a number of scenes, to the extent he is just as likely to be found spinning records for butterz as he is putting records out on berceuse heroique. here at idle hands we first touched base with parris many moons ago when he bought copies of the first release on his soundman chronicles label into our shop. as it is one of our favourite labels we were intrigued to hear what he would come up with as producer himself. needless to say we were impressed. presented here are two tracks that perfectly reflect his sound and our own a nod to techno here, a weighty bass line there, a love of reverb everywhere and all with a view to being played in dark rooms late at night. the 12 inch of burr and blue is idle hands last release of 2015 and we think it rounds off nicely what has been a great year for the label.
