fathers & sons presents fas004, their last limited 12 vinyl only release, strong stuff as usual...

with its non-placed devices and hard-to-pin-down aesthetic falling between electronic and psychedelic music and the warm-hued sounds of traditional acoustic instruments, burnt friedmans zokuhen,produced exclusively for vinyl, may be considered an extension of bokoboko. on this new double ep, too, the music focuses on uneven rhythms that dictate the groove for all the participating musical elements and display a formal logic to which all the instruments gladly succumb. with its even rhythm and proximity to dub reggae, the track kon ki (c2) shows that exceptions from the rule are permitted among the six new tracks and two re-worked bokoboko themes that round off this follow-up.

manmakemusic kick-off 2013 with their housiest offering to date from two new label artists, natan h & amy jean. natan h made his debut last year with anton zaps ethereal sound and on this occasion collaborates with longtime creative partner for an ep of bumping, unconventional house music. title track, *for her*, is a beast of unrivalled warmth working a deep and steady groove to perfection. on the flip, *i know* is a soulful disco-infused workout while *rush* takes aim squarely at the late night raver with its enveloping pads and low-slung bass line.

*magdalena* ist die zweite single aus dem *look around the corner* album von quantic und alice russell mit der combo barbaro. diese zweite single-auskopplung vereint einen unwiderstehlichen soulful stampfenden groove mit lebendigen folkloreeinflüssen und einem singalong gefühl. der titeltrack ist eine fundgrube von remixen und exclusives. behling & simpson bringen ein deep disco house reworking von *magdalena*, hint & anchorsong kommen mehr cutting-edge um die ecke, und simbad mixt den hit *look around the corner* mit gospel vocals und einem acid club flava in zwei versionen, außerdem gibt es *magdalena* noch als extended version und in der acoustic version. dem vinyl liegt eine cd mit 10 verschiedenen versionen und remixen bei.

following the first release on my lit label is from the quite brilliantly named, bebop & rocksteady. this might be a new name to some but the guys behind this project are lukes anger & ben mallott. after playing catalunya throughout the year i felt this tune needed to see a release, its just so f***ing good. its response on the dancefloor was devastating. anyone who has seen me dj recently would remember this one in my set, it gets a massive reaction once that drop comes in. i will still be playing this all year, a proper slice of good wonky techno. -addison groove

slightly off the normal wph track (is there such a track?) this is pure dancefloor madness for any dj playing house, minimal, techno or any other kind of nonsensical sub-genre name

today we bring you the return of atelewo (osunlade & the pasta boys) with a classic follow up to the already well known label staple new day. this time we move a little further with a more percussive, brass driven soul song about what else but love. infinity proves to continue with solid production and sound of the teams collaborative efforts. sendai is a simple mood based groove honoring and acknowledging the loss in the tsunami of 2011. a simple gesture of remembrance this one adapts a local newscaster explaining the devastation and sorrow. as always we here at yoruba hope that this new release not only starts the new cycle of 2013 off well, but that it brings forth a new direction. enjoy!

the secret of luck lays not in property, but in giving. therefore klangkuenstler and shemian are releasing their first ep on kallias which is at the same time the first in 2013. the >gluecks ep< spreads this feeling through a successful conception of ist four tracks. the jointly produced >spiel mir das lied vom glueck< initiates this in a wonderful way. through playful chimes and mellow organ sounds paired with melancholic strings it let sunny feelings come up even in cold winter days. the remix of geschwister schuhmann is an outstanding and yet completely different interpretation, with its dreamy vocals, nestled in a warm and spherical soundshell created by the interplay of gentle organ sounds with synths, strings and mallet percussions. with >einhornallee< the b-side starts with a driving pumping groove and a hard syntheziser line dissolved by gentle chimes. >welttraum< fascinates because of an dramatic arrangement supported by extremely tense strings and fullfills it with a catchy xylophon melody.

in contrast, the flying flute edit doesnt come like a bull at a gate and initially appears slightly atmospheric and subtle. the deep toms and analogous drums still care for a drifty groove and colour the track in a fragile paint of house. emotions culminate in the hypnotic flute playing right in the middle of the track which hijacks you to a journey of elia vens. enjoy your flight!

dusty baron aka latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. a mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss vakula, his music, much like vs, sounds just as rooted in the post soviet russian landscape as it is in the post industrial north america which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of todays roots conscious electronic artists. vakula takes the controls on side a with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst side b showcases the barons heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. sides c & d (on bonus 7inch) see v step up to offer two takes on >follow shot<, continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism. a noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the dusty baron and his sound, and yet another installment in lelekas continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.

the >just for fun< ep starts with the title track just4fun, which in fact breathes fun and doesnt take itself too seriously. the funky and highly infectious keys and the butt shaking groove will remind you of a track that moodymann never made, but wishes he had. next comes unlimited01 with a joyful piano melody that would fit right into a french disco with a funkier version of alain delon behind the decks. still, the rhodes chords, the slow sexy groove, the vocal hooks will get you moving in no time. thang then goes into a more detroit beatdown direction with its deep chords and smooth pads. it creates a mellow atmosphere with an almost relaxed summer feeling. this is what a funky pimp would listen to on a night car drive. the ep ends with spiritual almost tribal rhythms. inspiration would be a nice soundtrack to a 70s orgy orchestrated by a groovy guru, surrounded by a magical circle of mystical dancers. over the top? sure, but the track would certainly get this party going.

special laser etched 180 gram vinyl, limited to 500 copies.
did you ever wonder what happens when a living legend remixes an absolute eskimo classic? the answer lies in dj harveys >beach to the bar< remix of mediterraneo by dr. beat from san sebastian. the lively track overlays a steady stomp of a beat with clattering drums, a walking bassline, and a bit of guitar shredding to create a full-force groove. as featured on the remixed disc of eskimonde - a decade of eskimo recordings, but now also available on a heavyweight 12 inch with a special laser etch.

mit seinen tänzelnden schritten ist der klangkünstler eindeutig hier auf der erde unterwegs, mit seinem wiegenden kopf aber scheinbar auf einem anderen planeten. wie er zu seinem namen gekommen ist? durch das gefühlvolle instrumentenspiel, mit dem dieser tagedieb seine streifzüge musikalisch illustriert! so fordert er tatsächlich einen streunenden hund zum pfötchentango auf, wobei sich temperamentvoll-südländische gitarren- und violinpassagen mit zügellosem herumgehüpfe zu pochenden rhythmen abwechseln. kurz darauf ist der klangkünstler von den zucken bewegungen eines clownfischs fasziniert, der zwischen wogenden basswellen funkelt. spontan holt er das piano aus der tasche, schlägt einen clubbigen groove an und improvisiert dazu auch noch auf der geige. dann hüpft er weiter, unter strahlenden klangfarben seinen regenbogentanz vollführend zwinkert er dem am wege stehenden mollono.bass zu. von so viel lebensfreude inspiriert, vertwistet der jene heitere melodie mit einem knarzig- rollenden bass und führt den regenbogentanz mit verträumter geste fort.

zierliche dame mit gewaltiger soul-stimme geht auf reisen, macht bei befreundeten musikern station und kommt schließlich mit 4 stücken feinster tanzmusik auf dem acker an - so die zusammenfassung der aktuellen geschehnisse. tatsächlich handelt es sich hier um 3 unabhängige produktionen und einen remix, die zum song sunbelt regret von miss natnat entstanden sind. dementsprechend abwechslungsreich geht zur sache. wolfgang lohr entfaltet ein gewitztes wechselspiel zwischen klassischem song und elektronischem abgang, mal steht sein butterweicher house groove im vordergrund, dann wieder gehört das stereopanorama voll und ganz der stimme von miss natnat. zusammen mit tinush schlendert sunbelt regret noch etwas entspannter heran, hier kommen die loungigen pianosounds besonders gut zur geltung. wenig überraschend und doch immer wieder faszinierend. der zündende funk von mollono.bass, der in seinem remix einen schwerpunkt auf die ausdruckstarke stimme legt. die lübecker artenvielfalt macht ihrem namen schließlich alle ehre, indem sie miss natnat im kontext eines verträumten, hochgradig melodiösen grooves präsentiert.

four deadly cuts of timeless, jackin house and deep techno professionalism. och returns to his autoreply home with a new series of split 12s inviting a diverse group of producers to share a slab of wax. for the a side he opens with >deltic< which sets the mood with tough yet soulful chicago vibes. ochs second contribution is >freeze-thaw< showcasing a deep, hypnotic groove alongside powerful sub-bass, lush female vox with dreamy analogue pads that bridge the gap between artistic creativity and memorable club versatility. on the flip side its romanian all-rounder, the model, who has previously graced premium labels such as traum schallplatten and international dj gigolo. here he delivers two ultra-phat workouts in the form of >dungeon man<, an infectious chord driven floor-burner and >stancuto< a stripped back, percussive take on the same theme demonstrating his emerging new warehouse sound with just the slightest salute to echocord or dehnert...

fitzpatrick tracks are immediately recognizable for their refusal to conform to the norm. this latest release, the subject of much hype and anticipation, is no different. lead track, skeksis conjures up an unlikely fusion of a pumped-up dub techno groove and a 90s trance vocal to create a slow-burning, emotive bomb.

part two of the brilliant new minimal series from the avian camp, full colour , stickered picture sleeve, 4 stripped down tracks plus 2 locked grooves on 10 inch

in their own words, like a radio-controlled mechanical, electro-mechanical and multifunctional musical instrument, berliner ring build up relentless and relentlessly different grooves in a characteristically non-direct way. as if playing around without focus they layer their tracks and slowly position them into form. the tracks featured here were originally released on cd on the art yard label. melodies are fragmented, often even sparse, the groove never stops, but does so with intervals and while changing focus. berliner ring references similar bands in the krautrock and post-rock genre, but it s subtlety, the originality of their self-built instruments and their songs that shift from downright groovy to more atmospheric explorations of ambience and texture guarantee them a unique voice and perspective. essential stuff.

on this second remix 12 inch pbr streetgang deliver a wonderfully deep modern house groove, toby tobias delivers 2 mixes straight out of the 90s basement and glaswegian wunderkind barrientos offers a kind of sun-kissed gypsy woman style re-invention.
