hard hitting breakcore / dnb action from the outside agency and dj hidden.

breakin bread continue to support the specialist soul and funk scene with a release from edenheight. they are not a new band, these guys have been gigging hard all over bristol and the south west, but it is their debut vinyl release. its not just another new funk offering, the band have a tightness from all the gigs and 2 superb female vocalists that make these tracks stand out from the pack.
edenheight are a deep-groovin and original outfit with a soulful urban sound. forged in bristol, their list of influences favour more percussive styles including afro, funk, hip hop + dub, and as such dance-ability is a precedent. this standard owes as much to an evolution in the citys underground live scene as to their appreciation of high energy musicianship and production.

so it was a massive pleasure that maya chose 2020vision for her next full single release. when we discussed the project with her we agreed it was vital to put together a single that truly reflected her diverse tastes and skills. the title track >focus now< is a unique work that will be hard to even categorise. reminiscent of early matthew jonson records >focus now< features delicate synth sequences weaving in and out of intricate rhythms. it sounds amazing on big systems, like at fabric, where it was road tested by ralph lawson at the recent 2020vision party. it is one to drop at the right time to make a real change in mood and set direction. we then have >little one< which is a solid deep house groove, simple but effective. vocal snippets are added by mjc herself on both tracks but her true vocal talents are shown on >senseless<...

produced slowly and meticulously over the last 12 months, these seven tracks are the closet thing we have had to a new album from andy stott since the release of his debut full-length merciless five years ago. taking influence from an array of seemingly incoherent noises, from the indefinable and unforgettable mind- tricks of arthur russell to the slowhouse of kassem mosse, from the alternate vhs realities of james ferraro and jamal moss to the linn drum classics of the vintage prince era - these seven tracks create their own pace and agenda, largely shying away from the dancefloor in favour of something more complex and hard to define.

tsi returns with more dark, deep hypnotic hard techno goodness this latest installment of tsi. the >grinding machine< does just what the title intends. the same can be said for the adjective use in titling >dark, dirty & broken<. the people are asking who and where the secret initiative are from. tsi answers why does it matter? will knowing make the music sound better? the clues of whom it is be heard through the secret codeslocked in the grooves of the vinyl. listen closely and maybe you can piece it all together. if not listen closely and enjoy the music!

the ever on point citrus recordings is stepping up for its 5th artist lp already.. after having released the debut albums of mindscape & jade wich all went on for critically acclaim its time for citrus to get ready its 3rd artist album. this time its up to fourward to show what their made off. the second sampler is unleashed now so make sure youre ready! on the first sampler fourward was introduced by the incredible mindscape remix, this time we have a solo 12inch by the guys. the a-side starts with a masterpiece of epic proportions. a beautiful intro the way it should be. this track is a perfectly balanced track in between the uncompromising noisia-like bass terror and easy listening vibes. the downbeat breakdown in the centre of the tune and the drop after that fit extremely well. well produced music for the critical listeners and party people! and thats just the beginning. flip it over for another wicked track! the bassfueled intro hits hard, feel the vocals from far away. close your eyes and move your feet on this brilliant piece of adventure for your ears. just listen and let the music speak for itself.

we are happy to welcome a new artist into our family. young jose pouj is one of the new emerging talents from the spanish techno scene. his speciality is hard edged techno, but with a touch of class. a sound carefully crafted and skilfully developed. his blood poisoning ep starts with waken, a scientific techno number with a solid rhythm arrangement, fat basses and sharp synth workout, a funky electronic steamroller designed for body and mind. the b side opens with sepsis, a harder approach to modern techno with a strong drum programming, sweeping drones, an arpeggiated bassline and a bunch of bleeps that appear and disappear throughout the arrangement. an anabolic track that slowly goes to a mental break and turns once more to madness. the release closes with organic return, where the main course is made up of carefully programmed synthetic drums, till an emb-flavoured bassline comes into the track, reminding us of the good old pulsinger style. summing up, this is the work of a great young producer that injects new blood into our label. watch out for forthcoming adventures of this new talent.

expect the unexpected they say and it should come as a surprise to many as we warmly welcome to the kompakt family one of americas most celebrated producers in dance music, john tejada! you are hard pressed not to have heard his music. whether on his own palette recordings, poker flat or plug research plus a fabric mix cd under his belt, its thanks to a steady stream of massive releases (think >mono on mono< and >sweat on the walls<) ...

its now hard to imagine a summer that wont be sound tracked by hot natureds sleazy intergalactic funk and distinct bassline brilliance so its lucky the boys are back with forward motion – their first release for own imprint hot creations and dancefloor gold in the purest sense. disco delinquent ali love provides lead vocals

these are only a few of many excellent appraisals for kasper bjørkes second album >standing on top of utopia< which was released in april last year and followed by strong singles and remixes from the album, most recently >heaven< with mixes by nicolas jaar, muzzle flash and prins thomas. with the >symptoms< ep we are happy to present an ep full of brandnew material. while we wait for kaspers next solo album, currently in production and set for a 2012 release, here is a treat of new and unreleased material for you! other than the rather vocal driven singles >young again<, >alcatraz< or >heaven< these four new instrumentals contain both slow disco vibes and rave style anthems. >symptoms< is a constantly moving, synth driven bastard, that provides a crunchy baseline and a wonderfully strange theme that is hard to get your head around. if this track was a movie, it would be x-rated and only shown after midnight - exactly around the time where you would drop this on the dancefloor and look forward to what happens. - initial pressing in coloured yellow vinyl!

the 5th release of goodvibe records sees hugo merging forces with gambo, a dj/producer from turin, a living legend of the citys underground scene. three tracks made of deep beats and dark disco atmosphere and a digital bonus remix from audiojack, the stunning duo of 20:20 vision family, an absolute amazing floor filler. from the desolate plains of mars and the frozen moons of the outer solar system, from the milky way to the ends of the universe, you will hear of wonders often hard to describe and sometimes even harder to fathom. a cosmic keyhole which it is easy to go through but really difficult to return.

this second ep collects 4 more hard to find on vinyl, early shoes re-edits. the killer afro perculator from shoes005 starts things off followed by afta lafta, the dub mix of timmy thomas why cant we live together from shoes004 and nautilus from the out print re-soled.

kicking off 2011 with a killer e.p. is our favourite artist art bleek featuring a number of remixes from the new art supplies album released on loungin this month plus some fresh cuts exclusive to this release. starting the e.p. is a floor filling remix of clap your hands by our own trevor loveys. the original has been out for a few months in the blogosphere and has been picking up some heavy props. next up is hold it (a little longer) where art shows off his true talent of the master of the musical groove with a rolling bass and a choppup vocal lick to keep the party rocking. flip over to side b and you would be excused if you thought someone had swapped the record out for a disco classic. with vox by noelle scaggs and a harmony that nile rodgers would be proud of arthur creates a boogie classic that is very much flavour of the moment. following on is an exclusive remix of the hunt dance featuring the unmistakable voice of ursula rucker. the original on art supplies has had such amazing reactions that we all thought it would be hard to better it, but again arthur has done it delivering a groover for the heads. finally is right on featuring l.as finest charlie sputnik. art delivers a more techy grove to this classic which is a sound he is becoming more recognised for which contrasts so will with charlies trademark smooth vocals.

>bussin down< is the first planet mu single from chrissy murderbot, who comes with a style inspired by his chosen city of chicagos juke and footwork scenes. he playfully mixes in elements of other styles of music he loves, such as rnb and dancehall, to create lively mutations with a warm hearted mass appeal that comfortably straddles genres. >bussin down< features chicago footwork supremo dj spinn over some tasty footwork tracks featuring spinns instructional lyrics, over some high speed jazz funk and cracking claps and klaviers. next track >braaain< is a unique amalgam of footwork with the classic early digital sleng teng bassline. the blend works fantastically, as chrissy slides the originals vocal in and out of the mix in a dub style. on the b-side atki2 takes album track >the vibe is so right< featuring vocals from mc zulu and runs it through a lush treatment that mixes detroit washes with tight, laidback, rolling funky house drums, to instant classic effect. on b2, chicago footwork pioneers djs rashad and spinn send the originals vocal into a whirl of complex delays and layered loops over cold drums and hard techno stabs. just the faintest taste of what is in store on the m-bots incredible >womens studies< album due soon on planet mu.

here at bearfunk hq we firmly believe in perseverance. we keep asking questions until we get the right answer and with 6ft bear by our side the answer is usually yes. we kept asking ilija rudman to get in the studio and write us a killer lp but being the busy bee that he is it was hard for him to take the time out. we kept asking until he eventually caved in and went underground to record his first lp, >the reveal<. ilija is a devoted and passionate man when it comes to music. one of his prerequisites for recording an lp was that the recordings had to be made with the same techniques and equipment that inspired him to make music in the first place. so ilija hooked up with one of his studio mentors and got his dream line-up of synthesizers, roland jupiter 4 & 8, minimoog, roland sh2, juno 60 and his dream drum machines linn and oberheim dmx. these analogue machines fire up to create a warm and authentic vibe across the whole lp. we are reminded here that machines do have soul if used properly. we start proceedings with the wigged out boogie of >inspectors drive< which might be a little nod in the direction of wally badarous classic chief in< have all the ingredients of dj friendly hits. the lp reveals all the influences that ilija has experienced and it shows the talent that runs inside him as he is able to make such an amazingly retro lp sound like something from the future. we are sure in years to come this lp could become as important as the influences that inspired mr. rudman to make it.

san francisco-based producer antiserum steps up for dub police with two unique collaborations, featuring local producers ill-esha and 12th planet respectively. his music is a masterfully crafted fusion of influences that results in a sound entirely his own, balancing light against dark and colour against pure bass pressure. showcasing a deft musicality as well as an unrivalled talent for system shaking productions, antiserum is taking the scene by storm. releases on narco.hz, s.c.u.m and argon amongst others have already propelled him to the forefront of the rapidly growing american dubstep scene, with plenty more still to come. on the a side, he is joined by ill-esha on >zephyr<, a sick g-funk inflected roller. skittering hi-hats and tough drums lay the foundations on this one, with the deep, smooth bass sweeping underneath. the vibrant synths weave in and out of each other with ease, swimming around the mix and swelling expansively through the speakers. on the flip he teams up with 12th planet on the massive >purple & gold<. the g-funk influences continue to flow through this track, pinned down by a hard bassline and taut drums. the shimmering synths sliding over the top of the percussion and off into the atmosphere give the track an epic stop-in-your-tracks effect.

the labels hiatus is over. a few years have passed and neurhythmics resurfaces after like-minded souls decided to bring it back. juergen junker returns with a 3 track 12inch that stems from a live-set concept he created over the last few months. raw as you like, it takes a distinct bow towards the earlier days of the windy city. dirty, knackered sounding drums, and cut-up vocal bits fused together to a driving force that is hard to resist. the a-side , >unclean mutha< is a definitely x-rated affair that has the jacking feel built right into arrangement. on the b-side, this is suitably followed up by >working her for real<, which is what we want to happen when this is being played in the club. work it, baby..! the second track, >honey< with its camp statement vocals and similar vibe rounds things up for the first part.
