talman records is the new brainchild from french producer and dj samuel thalmann aka okain. the label aims to focus exclusively on the music from the label boss, digging deeper into his musical roots to create a modern sound. after spending the last eight years releasing on some of the most sought after labels like bpitch control, tsuba and truesoul to name a few, it s time for the parisian artist to setup his own imprint and to continue to showcase his personal interpretation of house music. here is the first release containing three new tracks.

field records continues to focus on its first run of solo artists eps with four tracks from uk pair szare. before now this frozen border and horizontal ground duo has excelled in crafting cavernous bass chambers and off beat rhythms with ease - just as they do here. riding up and down, skipping left and right and swelling with a sense of post apocalyptic optimism as it goes. this ep is full of fresh ideas, fulsome production and a dark energy that makes it fit perfectly on the most recent end of the hardcore continuum.

dka starts the fire with his endless no hope. a track that has exactly the right amount of everything. jens bond whispers the lovingly crafted insae, it could mean madness but why does it sound so good rafaele castiglione & praah musique are 10.000 km afar from each other and teamed up to create the mind boggling ayahuasca ceed. debuts here and brings us the perfect soundtrack to get lost in. endnight is light and darkness at the same time, a stroboscope of emotions.

after remixing idriss d’s “alger”, eduardo de la calle returns to memento records with a 2 tracker. the spanish vinyl maestro, analog solutions label owner and beatz documentary maker delivers 2 majestic cuts of deep techno at its best, inspired by the early ricardo villalobos music released on kanzleramt or playhouse some 15 years ago. following the same ideas of building and de-constructing sound patterns made up of pure minimal elements, eduardo here tries to be as simple as he can: direct and repetitive, back and forth non stop compositions that take on a life of their own as they expand and contract. the ep was made in a week of intense and mesmerizing studio work. * die einführung* is a 10 minute number where korg poly 61 arpeggios and spellbinding melodies draw the listener down a psychedelic hole of frequency shiftings and lysergic percussions. * sonst werden* is built around hazy chords and ghostly vocal snippets soaked in a feedback of tape delay, sinister ambient sounds vibrating in the background.

the third release for lets play house offshoot, room service, is another fully-loaded four-tracker, a live grenade to be launched at dancefloors around the world. the originals here are by the organ grinder, the welsh producer known for his hefty house bangers for labels like 4 lux, heist, and, recently, lph itself (he remixed jacques renaults -the fake out- last year). pressing on translucent red & smokey black marbled vinyl.

here comes the heavy remix package to lake peoples much praised debut album purposely uncertain field. with redshape, lawrence and map.ache three remixes were carefully chosen who would be able to bring their own distinctive sound to the table, but also treat the original tracks respectfully. redshape catapults -illuminated- into the orbit of the red planet, where it rotates in a trippy and hypnotic way. lawrence is drifting red but stays closer to the sun. the dial boss keeps things lighter and brings some bells and a steady bass drum to dinner and knows how to mesmerise. leipzig buddy and kann records co-founder map.ache shifts up a gear with his remix for cooping. twisted vocals and a bouncy bassline make his remix a darling on the club floor and rounds things consistently up.

loco dices desolat label serves up a huge package here from russias finest underground house and techno production and dj export, tripmastaz. his four track ep is a testament to his ability to cook up chunky club groves that cannot fail to make their mark

those looking for a healer, a psychic or a voodoo priest in paris will quickly find one in the suburban districts and satellite towns of the french metropolis along the seine river. here this kind of folk magic has a long tradition. from karaoke to stardom didnt use any dark exotic arts for his second album - still the french electronica producer magically attracts the audience to the dancefloor with his little voodoo dolls!

the long awaited album on skudge! the pig on firing form here! we expect this on to go right off, double vinyl set. the lp features more pacey excursions while the additional 10inch features more experimental and ambient material. big tip!

who said that there is no techno in bavaria? not only the bavarian based label itself as a kind of lighthouse for the more energetic sounds deep in the bavarian heart is a proof, also the young and crazy dirty basscore is emerging from there with his very own, unique, freaked out, crazy, uncomprimising style. compared to his outlets so far this one might not be the craziest and freaked out stuff he did, but for sure this is a massive debut and introduction of his trademark and unlimited talent here on credo. perfectly timed and playable tunes with only one goal: working on the dancefloor! and as this wouldnt be enough we even top it with an excellent repaint by another bavarian techno-stallion. klaudia gawlas, who probably doesn t need any introduction, delivered a superb interpretation of the titletrack.

chris alexander: musician, director and former editor of fangoria presents this, his first album in quite some time, remastered and rejigged for vinyl by us here at gdhq. the soundtrack for your bleak midwinter. dark as space, drugged-out helltracks for paranoid dreamers and night-fantastists. spooktactular art by eric lee, mastered by alek stark. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

what sam kdc has achieved here is nothing short of genius. this is a very filmic visual lp and will take you away to another world. this also shows that sam’s production skills are very thoughtful and mindful of the potential listeners that should flock on mass to this chilled out and wonderfully crafted lp. if you like the deeper side of music and all things ambient, then this is a no brainer, it’s from the top drawer of the quality cupboard. if you just want something mellow as an alternative then this is the one for you.
pressing on translucent 12 inch vinyl.

debut release from brian ring. raised in cork on a diet of us-american house music and disco oscillating between sylvester and glenn underground, while sneaking into clubs underaged (see sir henrys for further reference) ring was baptised by by david mancuso and theo parrish in london (thank you easyjet) while his record collection grew and grew. living in berlin now, an epiphany in some remote parts of australia (it was 42 degrees!) resulted in him following his own path in making music. so, here we go: the movements ep brings together mike dunn (sample has been cleared, folks), timothy leary and tee scott puts disco roller skates on heavy legged deep house and is most of all as much fun as it is sincere. all in a certain way that is personally his.

now thats a massive piece of vinyl! the news about an upcoming remix package for tech-house-maestro phil kieran should be enough to raise techno lovers attention. however this time the buzz is even bigger as we managed it to get luke slaters cult project planetary aussault systems aboard! yes, you heard right, the project that helped shaping the image of former techno überlabel peacefrog is on remix duty here and the planetary aussalt system does what we expected

mio mio is here

anouka started a year ago with her first sets on soundcloud and the response was incredible, building her fan base consistently. her debut ep traveller is released on soso, the label that she runs together with zusammenklang and oliver schories. the ep reflects what anouka always tries to express in her sets: showing that melancholy and happiness are very close together and they can work harmoniously. she recorded the vocals for both tracks by herself, which was challenging yet very rewarding. frequent traveller kicks things off nicely with its melancholic moodiness shining through as we meander effortlessly through berlin inspired melodies, while the sultry vocal sits wonderfully on top adding an extra layer of depth. christopher schwarzwalder is on remix duties, and from the off creates tension as this atmospheric rework subtly growls as it grooves. its sparseness is the key here, as this restrained gem works its magic. liberty is next as it tinkles away, creating a warm glow, and its caressed with its spoken french vocal, creating an air of sophistication. and rounding things off nicely is the midas 104 remix. this mystical touch up takes the energy levels up a notch, but increases the melancholy further and adding an air of just the right amount of wonkiness and quirkiness.

gdm (glaswegian dance music) pioneer - sparky (aka dave clark) is back on numbers. having spent the last year on lockdown in his luxurious garden studio we have finally managed to wrestle two tracks out of his ageing hands. signals is an all-new track, first heard on dave’s essential mix for bbc radio 1 (aired as part of jackmaster s made in glasgow), and now in the sets of ben ufo and jd twitch. signals is classic sparky, nailing that sweet spot between the proto-techno sounds of british synth pop and the dancefloor nous of the motor city. the flip is a snarling metal-bashing beast called tigress which comes direct from his archives. we ve been on at him to release this one for almost a decade and after playing a 192 mp3 at a pretty boisterous numbers x optimo party last summer, sparky finally relented. one day we ll convince sparky to let us release all the music sitting in his vaults but for now here are two gems from a man whose music has played a pivotal role in the history of numbers.

seff doing what he does best here courtesy of a new ep that s full of killer up-tempo hues and isnt for the feign of heart. to put it mildly: this one will positively desiccate any dancefloor it is allowed to roam free on. dj support: gene farris davide squillace joyce muniz chus & ceballos, daniel bortz, tom findlay, jacky, robert owens, danny tenaglia

rising british artist alexis raphael has come a long way over the past few years since initially stepping onto the scene via jamies jones hot creations in 2011, since then raphael s name has graced the catalogue of leftroom, culprit, lower east, moda black and of course madtech where he returns to here. with such an impressive list of affiliations and an already noteworthy back catalogue under his belt, alexis is undoubtedly a driving force in the world of contemporary house music out of the uk.

opener equilibrium two from buitendijk is a perfectly streamlined and serene bit of spaced out, hypnotic techno. gentle synth pulses roam about the airwaves, left and right, up and down, as ethereal pads glow behind. it s heady dancing music, whilst liem s contact is also perfectly aimed at both head and heel. it is full of lick synth pulses that bubble and boil as watery droplets and ticking hits also colour the most subliminal groove. closer this is all you need is a more textured, frazzled cut with frosty lines and rickety pads working you into a trance. rich drums and clever bass filtration add dynamics and tension and so like everything else here the end result is hugely captivating.

old school veteran andrei morant who’s very much “now school” making his debut appearance on 4trk here with a stripped down dose of pure, beatin, erky/jerky tracks that drill their point in your head. no need to pepper this one with a verbose intro. listen and learn! can’t tell you equally how excited we are to tell you there’s a couple more andrei morant tracks coming also on a v/a vinyl compilation soon to follow!

a highly regarded producer and musician who used to be in the midst of the ny metro breeding reactor that spectatuclarely revived and modernized disco and italo disco since the turn of the century and added some hotliped live brass to their platters and whose sought after releases under his own appear appear much to rarely dons his house cloak and dagger for 3 sneaky new chapters on story. not wasting any time on unnecessary nicety the a-side track will send up a whole colony of ants right up your pants riding on a steamrolling percussive disco groove garnished with cut up vocals and fx trickery. b2 is another chicago style wedding of disco and house with a jubilant, string backed female vocal snippet tweaked over a heavy groove while the first track on the flip is a subterrenean, groaning dub house affair that reminds of a slowed down john ciaffone banger. no matter which chapter you jump to here it puts you right into the action.

after recording various psych soul and funk tracks on the whiz record label the real thing carried on after leaving the label to record more studio cuts with musician and producer stu gardner. here they let it rip with an incredible fast version of james browns *give it up, turnit loose* ... and they left in that all important secret ingredient of a lovely long drum break. stu gardner himself took to the microphone on this track, with various background vocals and screams, and did the vocals for the amazing b-side *it s a family thang*!

he is back. twenty years after boulevard, fifteen years after the multi-platinum album tourist (over 3 million copies sold worldwide) and a world tour spanning several continents, ludovic navarre, alias st germain, finally found his way back into the studio. an uncontested and respected figure in the world of electronic music for the past two decades, a pioneer of the * french touch* and a creator of intelligent and sensual deep house, st germain has always stood out. his consummate art thrives on a subtle mixture of machines and instruments, of authentic roots and modern influences.

arranged by godin, taurelle the original trakc was written by georg christian lehms, composed by bach and adapted from bach cantata widerstehe doch der sünde bwv 54. here bach’s church cantata for solo voice meets languid gainsbourg & birkin, albeit in german, with exquisite choir and strings. nicolas godin says i wanted songs on contrepoint, to act like poles that hold up a tent. this piece starts with a very strange chord, which was avant garde for its day. bach’s scores are outside any rules, which i wanted to exploit. i also wanted the lyric in german because no one expects german to sound sexy and cool. the main singer is gordon tracks. the other voice is dorothée de koon, a friend of a french artist i know - they both have german blood.

stamp s back with jascha hagen paying homage to west africa s afrobeat pioneer & a certain female jazz instrumentalist from the famed blue note catalogue. the leipzig based producer first came to the attention of the label after he dropped the outstanding pan that shit out ep on manna all night. here the open minded producer showcases a different side to his production style with two surefire edits that will work wonders wherever they re played. pitched down and spaced out, soldier on the a side is an edit of a politically charged nigerian anthem. this slow burner keeps you locked in with instantly recognisable keys, subtle guitar licks and a rolling bass line that will even make the stiffest necks nod in solidarity. harlem takes you back to a sun-soaked day with this classic 1970s nyc soul anthem dedicated to the road that loops around the north tip of manhattan. jascha takes the jazz-funk anthem and adds extra instrumentation to create a subtle 2015 update...
