hailing from toulouse, french trio signs have already carved themselves out an interesting niche within the nu-skool neuro scene, stamping their unique output into the publics consciousness with big releases on red light records, bad taste recordings and c4c recordings. their beats are sparse and militant with each drum hit afforded the space to dominate the audio spectrum, with pauses and moments of silence, delicately programmed into the dna of the drum tracks, playing big part in the groove s forward momentum, propelling the riddims forward and creating a dynamically powerful and compelling backbone for the rugged, tough basslines to shine.

for moss co. s fourth release, and first solo artist ep, they look to londons antony difrancesco. antony s selective output on other london labels like fuse and othertones, has seen regular support from the highest echelons of house and techno. his enviable collection of hardware, and seemingly endless flow of creative ideas, are displayed brilliantly on mossv004. the record opens with vio - a mystical track, filled with toms, bass and groove tied together with ethnic strings and an eerie pad. left takes more of an experimental turn, with playful bass bouncing around the spectrum, complemented with analogue squelches. a beautifully warm pad brings an element of romance to the track, and crisp tops keep it dance-floor focused. on the remix, martinez uses his signature concealed sound to devastating effect, transforming track into a sleek, minimalistic, late-night affair.

‘streetlight soul’ is the inaugural release on new imprint gnosis. this four track ep is the fifth myriadd record, following 12-s for crème organization, pinkman and signals. the past decade has seen releases from the artist under a variety of pseudonyms including acid phreex (djax-up-beats), mantra (bunker, abstract acid, solar one music) and monofonix (iwari, cataclyst). across the ep, myriadd remoulds the template of vintage chicago house, acid and deep house into his vision of modern house music. opening with midnight obsession , working a dark hypnotic bassline into an endless groove of crisp jacking drums and soul stirring melody, all primed for maximum effect at 4am when lost in the smoke and strobes. visions of love is driven by a juno bassline, a classic palette of tumbling, infectiously funky drums, warm, enveloping synth atmospherics and elevated by lush, celestial string work which comes off like some fantasy mr fingers + virgo psychedelic jam. the ep’s titular track goes deeper into the night with 909 claps, off-kilter snare hits, melancholy synth and ethereal melodies that ascend and dissolve into neon clouds. closer back to nature is a trip into blissed out, tropical house sounding like a lost balearic classic re-tweaked for the 21st century..

incl download code , since a few years mrz is steadily shaping his dancefloor sensitivity on zürich s underground and sophisticated parties. its not a suprise you can whitness mrz s flow on his new productions becoming more natural as it does when he performs live. these three tracks plus instrumental are only a pick of many great new tracks, so we hope you are going to like our selection: title track konterversum is just as you d be sneaking in a stairway and catching a couple - to our surprise - having a dispute while the party booms behind the door. subversly charming. multiversum does somehow picture how it feels trying to quit a conversation at phone - while riding an edgy but flowing groove. circaversum is basically held in swiss german dialect and we let you guess what they are talking about. we insisted on an instrumental version of the track for those not so much inclined into three-guys-jacking-the-mic-in-the-studio. it was worth it.

the title tack is a playful melodic jam with trilling pads and lush synths. moody and beautiful, it is a truly emotional work. igor vicente then goes for a more minimal and stripped back affair with ghoulish synths, spooky samples and a n eerie, spacious groove that is hugely compelling.

last year s disco (a fine selection of independent disco, modern soul & boogie 1978-82) compilation from soul jazz offered undeniable proof that few diggers deserve their reputation as much as dutch discotheque scholar disco patrick. given the reception, it s no surprise to see that the london label have commissioned patrick to undertake a second assessment of the genre s lesser known gems with the focus here on the years 1976-80. the first of two double lp vinyl samplers to accompany the full cd release finds pat pulling out gems like the extremely pricey skip jackson curio micro wave boogie and t.k. disco treat cosmic funk by mad dog fire department.

to celebrate fifty fathoms deeps 2nd year of pressing we asked some of our favourite producers to remix a selection of cuts from our back catalogue and as expected they ve all come up trumps! the ep opens with fouk boys riding the groove on their remix of ugly drums don t let life (passing by) then thatmanmonkz goes left of centre with his reimagining of phil asher feat james massiahs move ya self. on the flip new zealand s frank booker comes correct on his take of lay-fars triptych to round off a great package. the ep is a fitting way to mark another year of quality music from fifty fathoms deep.

it is no exaggeration to say that ultrastretch has accumulated an array of outstanding releases and artists since its creation in 2011. one knows that being as renown a representative of the underground music scene as sammy dee is, he can easily sign music from any established artist he would like, the so called ‘big names’, however, when we look at the past seven releases on ultrastretch, the agenda here seems to be another. what has become an apparent and admirable feature of this label/platform and of sammy dee himself is his clear support for new music from young and yet to be discovered talents. it is on that note that ultrastretch 08 brings you romanian artist crihan. hailing from a small town close to cluj, alin crihan moved to bucharest in 2009 to be more in touch with the underground scene and music in the capital as it poses more opportunities for him to grow and develop. from dj’ing in the most various clubs in his home country, his first steps into western europe as a dj came earlier last year at no less than the legendary robert johnson club alongside petre inspirescu in frankfurt. producing under his real name for the past four years, crihan’s release for ultrastretch brings two tracks, setting the listener into two very distinctive paths. the a side, * uelden* is a dance floor oriented track. the first words to come to mind are groove and rhythm, giving the track a somewhat funky feeling overall. the elements have been crafted carefully and therefore appropriately placed just where and when you need them. by simply starting the track with a bass line and shuffling hihats he slowly develops to a journey that not onlyventures further into groove and rhythm but also in mind grabbing harmonies with deep/airy sounding pads giving it a comforting sense of beauty and obscurity. the b side is called a doua dimensiune, literally translated from romanian it means the second dimension. doing justice to the title the track does generate the feeling of being in another dimension. it is a very deep affair into mind-altering soundscapes, very atmospheric and at times dark and obscure. attention to detail is apparent judging by the overlayering of elements featured in this track. a constant rolling base formed of water tapping ambient sounds give way to harmonies made up of strings and random noises on top.

cab drivers amazing new two-tracker gives you a 23 minutes long journey through bouncing basslines and atmospheres that will groove you till you drop!

reissue of a unknown b-side of an early belgian trance outfit release. before they made euro trance they made this heavenly balearic gem. it screamed for lauer remixes and he provided…
unless you have been sleeping it should be pretty obvious that wph head honcho red d has a weak spot for early belgian trance stuff. before trance was even known as trance that is… the early 90ies were the post new beat era in belgium and loads of producers were experimenting with new sounds to steer away from the blatantly commercial new beat chart stuff. so that is when the magic started happening.

with future releases from the likes of reset robot and geddes, truesoul is positioning itself as a label to be reckoned with. after a storming 2014 with releases on viva, quartz and snatch off, onno is back with his first ep for 2015 on adam beyers acclaimed truesoul label. for this 3 track ep, onno explores the more techno focussed part of his sound, while retaining that bottom heavy, hip hop inspired groove that he is renowned for.
