today sees the all inn family launch their brand new imprint. not content with all inn records and super popular all inn limited, the team today launch the wonderfully titled all inn black. set to increase the excitement, all inn black will feature mostly new talents, whose music may not fit the sister labels, but has been too good for the team to pass on. black will also feature some cheeky releases from well established names, but under different alias. watch out! the sound of black is set to feature warm, tough and heavy rhythms. sounds that are perfect to help us in our mission to keep vinyl alive. the debut release on black comes from case sensitive, otherwise known as rising romanian talent cristi cons. as part of the sunrise roster, he is very much part of the new generation of romanian house producers.

aconito records newest acquistion, alessio pili, has joined forces with nax-acid for his debut release: dgt is shit, a provocatory title for an ep dedicated to a world that is slowly losing the inner soul of the cult of vinyl and djing. the two versions differ in their emphasis on the rhythms: driving and smooth in the edit version, harder and more incisive in the original to help preserve the atmospheric flavour.

marco bailey is on fire! together with his partner in crime tom hades and a little help from dutch talent egbert this is going to cause a commotion!

>chaotisch serie< kicks off with a human sound that could only be composed deep in your throat, a sound that can hardly be described in words... rough and smooth at the same time... screaming for help it seems. then suddenly metallic sounds delay and tumble in... turning into an army of steel beetles swarming the place. plunging into a sweet melody that contorts being followed by trippy delays reminding us of the opening sequence of >the hunger< with catherine deneuve and david bowie at a bauhaus concert, we know this track will be huge.

its been a while since the last rsb release, but then tracks like this dont come along every day! for their first vinyl appearance on a label other than their own, enigmatic german duo ancient methods do the honourable thing and break out the whip, a track that comes across like a 2-step party in the foundry of thor himself. lets lazily label it anvil techno, because as far as we are aware no has yet invented a genre that adequately desribes music such as this. and as we have come to expect, much the same can be said of the evil sickness that is eat like hawks by bjorn svin (with a little help from karsten pflum, jona olesen & copyflex!). it starts like it means to go on, with a gnarled loop and indecipherable distorted vocals, and is gradually tweaked and augmented to the point of destruction. all manner of ill bass, overdriven filters, zaps, clanky drums & feedback join the party before the whole affair is brought to an abrupt end by the strange foreign lady that we have come to know and love over the course of the track. truly music for small, sweaty, strobe-driven cellars.

the bold and futuristic year of 2010 sees the release of >werkschau<, an unmixed compilation that gathers together a hand picked selection of the producers favourite cuts. the music stands for all that he loves, and what he loves he puts on show! summing up the landsky sound, and looking back over the years one cant help but feel a deep underlying quality emanate from the music. like subtle, mature flavours running through a well-prepared banquet. this special ep, capturing three choice tracks from those on offer on the compilaiton, includes some of our favourite landsky material, re-visited. firstly the seminal >1000 miles< is re-interpreted and brought up-to date, with landskys >2000 miles<. a strong driving powerhouse of reduced acid signals and hypnotic synth phrases, its the sound of martin landsky, future, present and past. a real deep running story of a track, >naked< is rich with thick bass and phasing, tripping chords, running percussion and growing tension that never ends. fitting to any occassion, the track was originally released on landskys own intim label and sounds as fresh now as the day it was released. tying things up the taught, tense and grooving tones of >monitor one< sail through. this futuristic house cut revolves around a staccato bass hook that drips with funk, echoing of landskys dj history that began before house was ever invented!

bloop recordings are fast becoming a favourite on the european house scene, finding favour with djs across themusical divides and establishing themselves with a reputation for quality releases and outstanding remixpackages. the labels latest endeavour sees them skip a catalogue number (apparently the number 14 is unlucky ineast tradition according to half chinese label owner jose belo) and land firmly at bloop15 with the help of two of germans hottest production talents. alex niggemann has had an incredible year, recording for the likes ofsupernature, 8bit, meerestief and micro.fon and propelling himself into the upper echelons of berlins electronic music community with his solid production and highly touted djsets.

played by karotte !!! with his newest ep on wagon repair (ghosts in the ai - wag058), mathew jonson looks to both the past and future to create a stunning release. track 1 - ghosts in the ai - is the first solo production that was made in wagon repairs new berlin studios. finally, in a real place to work, and with a lot of new gear to play with, mathew focuses on evoking both the future and technology to wonderful affect. track 2 - technology - comes from mathews past as it was created around the same time as tracks like octagon came out on iiwii. originally, it was going to be the first cut on his debut album that he was planning to release. on the day that mathew was looking for a b-side track for the ghosts in the ai ep, his brother, nathan (hrdvsion), played it over the phone asking him why he had not released it, as it was one of nathans favourites. it worked much better than the other track that was going to be on here so thanks, hrdvsion. track 3 - the alchemist - comes from mathews involvement this summer producing the music score for the old classic silent film faust, which was screened, complete with cobblestone jazz playing the score live, at the 2009 timewarp festival. the alchemist was written for the scene when faust is working in his laboratory then walks out into the snow to summon the devil to help with his work. a fitting piece indeed!

raidens label always comes with something different from the usual d&b formula rubbish. martsmans track is very impressive, with his refreshing future sound. on the other side its business as usual from raiden with help from khanage, its funky, and not as full on as normal, but again right at the cutting edge. martsman got into drum&bass around the end of the 90s. debuting on new york based offshore recordings in 2005, he released on smaller as well as established labels like alphacut records or counter intelligence in the following years. in 2008, tracks on warm communications and hospital records sub label med school attract the attention of a steadily growing audience also from outside the drum&bass scene.

tube10 returns to the scene again with a release to blow your minds away. this time its the greek formation ekelon. their debut on planet mu with headhunter on mary anne hobbs evangeline had us in our grasp so much that we couldnt help ourselves then to hit them up and see what whould happen. tube10 005 is the result of this encounter and it shows ekelon flexing their crossover sound like no other. is it techno? is it dubstep? we dont know but we sure as hell love both tunes to bits!
the a side evidence - a steady tune in the ekelon sets and lots of others aswell. feel this tune filling up the speakers and rumbling up those subs we thought where lost.. a perfect blend between all that is experimental while keeping it dj friendly..flip it over for freeze land.. an chilled out tundra of techno, thats how we like to call it.. frozen subs combined with defrosted stepping vibes ensures this to be a solid first release for the ekelon boys.. and dont worry this wont be their last!

>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn’t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke’s 2nd album, “bird brain.” if you haven’t heard of bootsy we couldn’t write it better than rolling stone… “bootsy collins’ rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton’s eternal p-funk circus, and that’s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk – if he weren’t such a genius of the bass, you’d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb’s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.” it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that’s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there’s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

northern songs in a southern style - fab guiro!
welcome to fab guiro! - the album title is a combination of both the popular british phrase fab gear referring to all cool music & lifestyle aspects and issues surrounding the band and also stresses the relation to the percussion instrument guiro that is an integral instrument, sound and necessity in latin, salsa and especially traditional cuban music. fab guiro! is beat music in a fascinating, exotic robe, a drum roll of liverpudlian song pearls the songs of the beatles on fab guiro! do actually sound like copacabana, cuba and kingston - but always like the english harbour town in the summer - northern song in a southern style are indeed warm songs, fab guiro! simply means lots of fun, entertainment and thus celebrates our heroes.

16 billion drum kicks is the new major sino outing introducing brazil’s top electronic music producer, renato cohen. it delivers here a cleverly produced fusion of tribal-esque grooves, samba jazz and funk amalgamated onto its firm foundation of its dancefloor techno roots. with the help of legendary guest artists such as 70’s brazilian samba rock marku ribas, sao paolo’s samba virtuoso bocato and techno hero technasia, amongst others, renato conveys a combination of sonic subtleties and frenetic nuances that takes the listener through a myriad of emotions. a first fresh album sure to build on you, it is both a gem to listen in a relaxed state of mind as well when engaged in lightning pace.

20 years time, when vinyl diggers are hunting the most obscure house and techno treasures from the 90s and noughties, theyll probably turn to expert patrick specke for assistance. this dj and producer from düsseldorf is dedicated to the machines that he uses to craft his metallic, shimmying tunes - but hes equally committed to collecting the best pieces of vinyl that walk the earth. you can hear it in his tracks for this desolat release: a solid understanding of the space between the beats and the subtly textured samples that help make up a fine dance-floor groove. tracks like get me out and bitchual linestepper use tight drum loops to build the kind of stealth attack that lends itself to dancefloor damage. on naggin me the building blocks that make up the classiest 4/4 recordings are reshuffled and stretched out - from here to mars and back

ed’s first offering for autoreply references the early building blocks laid down by pioneers such as carl craig or robert hood twisting & turning them with his own crisp production & drum programming with the end result being a unique contemporary take on modern dancefloor techno. both tracks effortlessly build teasing as they progress sometimes climaxing but always leaving you thirsty for more. the ballroom is a deep complex work that starts its journey showing the characteristics of a light stepping waltz - as the track progresses something more sinister starts to emerge & the mood subtlety transfers to a dark prominent space tango. this track will not only make you dance, it will also make you feel nervous & excited! the well tempered clavier – this track has it all: dancefloor bomb - dj tool – 9 ½ minutes of absolute linear pleasure making a statement from the word go with its solid kick and catchy lead synth floating in and out of the mix building to an unmissable break which is guaranteed to get cheers from the dancefloor + beyond. serious techno for serious djs. linienwerk – this is the perfect track to help build a room or wake up an afterparty, beautifully paced with an organic feel not to mention the dark synth stabs that seem to cover the entire stereo field.

rene breitbarths sphere ep,which brought the succesful start of the primarily digital only-label, is now available as an actual record. the track of the same name is already deemed to be a timeless summer hit for several digital/cd djs, and cant stop to spread a positive mood. likewise, easy cant help to keep your feet stuck to the ground with its fluffy chords and melodies, which again create happiness all over. then hypno gets it really deep - minimal house with swing and a hypnotic approach for floor groovers.

what more can be said about the legendary space djz that hasn t already been said. kicking off this inaugural release we have the dynamic duo showing us their diversity with a track that nods back to the roots of techno. tripods offers us a deep groove with peak time rhythms. the funk just doesn t stop with this sure fire anthem track. the concrete djz have been making quite a name for themselves over the past few years. their track rising tension gives us the reason why. a tough no nonsense hard techno track that s the perfect combination of funk and heavy beats. a true floor filler. arkus p aka peter schmidt is known worldwide for his monster tracks and untitled is no exception. it s a fantastic combination of speed, bass, and melody. this track is pure destruction! we are proud to have arkus on board to help round out such a diverse first release.

dojo is about getting back to the roots of american techno and house, and getting away from the computer. we want to help bring back the spontaneity and freedom of live performance and recordings. we want to celebrate the raw physicality of the music, and the dj who still likes to mix. ross since, 1997, ross has been in the background of the westcoast canadian techno scene, particularly the victoria family that included mathew jonson, cobblestone jazz, the mole, and hrdvsion. in 1998, he released the now out-of-print compilation album ôgarden city dubs, that featured first material by mathew jonson, and cobblestone jazz. he left for california in æ98, but kept his finger on the pulse as the art director for itiswhatitis recordings. while in the bay area, he listened mostly to soul,rap and early american techno music. heavily influenced by his time spent in the u.s., he started to develop a musical aesthetic, which he is now ready to express. young florent florent moved to vancouver from switzerland to attend art school. he began to get into making techno. tapping into his french-martinique roots, florent quickly developed a unique sound, which caught rossÆs ear. a few live jams later, it was clear that they worked well together, so they got a studio space and got to work. one month later, dojo had its first release. florent has only been making music for a year, but his swiss work-ethic is dangerous

rize radical returns with the 2nd part of alton millers inner8 remix package (first part was on the clone x serie and sold out in the first week!). here the original version and the remixes of literon and steve azzara. inner8s original version is a generous offering with troubled synths, stunning keys and appeasing strings. steve azzaras re-rub of alton millers >inner8< is a sublimely deep offering that solders together spiritually aware detroit beats with emotion-gripped melodies and strings. this truly is a bouncy, joyful track that fuses electronica and sounds together with the help of bright house stabs and deep bassline. literons take on inner8 comes with razor sharp claps, one intense house stab, and deep dub bass. traditional house meets modern club tracks (think radioslave). a intens 10 minute work out with an arresting groove! super strong remix package

aint no stopping us now. even if you might feel that the release pressure is on, we just cannot help to put out these gems (at least, we think thats what they are). what you hold in your hands (or on your laptop) is neo-house of the finest order. rhein-main kid robert dietz (cécille, be chosen etc.) was so kind to share his definition of h-muzik with us. to put it in a nutshell: >forward snipping< slices and cuts some nice vocal bits in a true ear candy way. even my brother gets goose bumps. >witness< sounds like a lost k.o.t. track resp. them being on the right track again and to round it all up, >faber mix< is a disc jockey tool that brings you from a to b or even z. and please, always keep paul >trouble< anderson in mind: a house is where you live in and a garage is where you park your car. loop d loop! already played by everyone…ha, ha, ha

following up his well-received works for statik entertainment, dublins leonid proudly lands at sistrum with three new tracks, crafted in his signature style of mature, classic depth. on the first track >sadim< a gorgeous bassline leads the way into gentle percussion and warm strings, as slightly acidic synth stabs take you back to the simpler days of dance. honest, unpretentious and deep. classic vibrations abound on the following cut >potsandpans<. the bassline sets the tone as sonic layers slowly build into a timeless groove that could easily go on forever. a beauty, by any standard. the ep closes with >shortwave<, a low-slung, shuffling groove, >shortwave< bumps along with the help of a round analog bassline and sharp claps, as shimmering chords swirl hypnotically. this one is destined to define many a late-night dancefloor moment

like many of us over here at bear towers, giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor disco experience has an unhealthy interest in the 1970s - the instruments of bob moog, vocoders, alan parsons - the cult sci fi series space 1999 - and here hes used the decade as a sonic palette to create the kind of ep that gets the whole office (ie: both of us, on pcs at home, occasionally) sitting up and listening. opener disco moog has already been used on our rools for rules compilation earlier this year and had many beards twitching at the prospect of forthcoming vinyl. shooting star is a more uptempo affair with blissful chords, slap bass, disco handclaps and gios trademark vocoder. i feel loved is a personal favourite of stevie kotey with anthem written all over it. this awesome clavinet workout has such a good vibe about it you cant help feeling nothing but loved. it could easy be mistaken for alan hawkshaw super rare bruton library track.
