following on from the massively popular philadelphia international: the re-edits package, here is the 2nd release in our special philly 40 campaign which is celebrating the 40th anniversary of philadelphia international records. welcome to the hugely anticipated >philadelphia international classics: the tom moulton remixes<. tom moultons involvement with philadelphia international spans the entire 40 years of their existence with many of his early mixes unaccredited in the era before the 12 inch disco disc. in 1977 pir released the ground-breaking historic original double lp philadelphia classics which featured 8 of tom moultons greatest pir mixes. the album has subsequently been reissued several times and is rightly hailed as a must have classic for any serious music lovers collection.

following himmel strasse & sonne und stahl ep on pong music,here is the new pcm 10inch!two techno & dub techno tracks which are the missing link between basic channel and deep melodic techno.already supported by mark broom, gez varley (ex lfo), renaat vandepapeliere (r&s records/ apollo), seb bromberger, alex einz (phonika, tokyo), jack de marseille.

marius vareid revisists the title track of last years debut album in two version here and other than the connotation that telemark evokes, its perfect summer bizniss in the 12inch edit version thanks to its bobbing flanger chords, the unhurriedly striding bass melody and the carefree clattering percussion. the klubb version sticks to its promise, keeps the trademark chords but they sound way more athletic in its sparser environment of beefed up drums and frantic percussion. powered by a slightly moody feeling bassline and its buoyant, exuberant synth melodies the brand new il tempo gigante on the flip is a prime example of the scintillating, heady mixture of disco roots, house and dub antics. as an extra bonus prins thomas adds a tropical-sticky interpretation of villa farris (originall version on fp024)

desolat welcomes shlomi aber on desolat x, a series for relentless dance tracks. head honcho of be as one imprint, and one of the influential artists of the recent time, debuts on desolat with rough steps, an ep brimming with great tracks, and first 4 track 12inch in shlomis career. chunky groove and hallucination, rolling hi-hats and irresistible bass lines - its all here and it hold all that shlomi is known for. enjoy!

tireless producer, tronic boss and top international dj christian smith here steps up for his first release on plus 8. over the years christian has offered up a high volume and high quantity of techno inclined singles for myriad labels (bedrock, systematic, 100percent pure, soma), so it only makes sense he now finds himself on one of the scenes most reliable outposts for such material. the two track ep kicks off with house is house which is, as the name suggests, a little house-ier than the flip, but still deals in plenty of heavy bass weight and slick repetition. the devil is in the detail filtered, dark voices, rattling cowbells, washes of white noise synths and long, thin, forward looking pads - all of which are married to a mid-tempo groove. the more forceful indulge me then follows. taught kick drums start immediately as claps and subtle synth stabs swell in volume until they eventually fill out the whole airwaves. squirming behind are thin and icy steel lines until the first drop when the deliciously bouncy groove sets in proper. far from aping the usual detroit and chicago tropes, christian smith has once again crafted two classy dance floor joints that are not only exquisitely produced, but that bare all the usual hallmarks of christian smith, one of the most consistent producers in the game.

after his first stomp in 2012 its time for the true first single astral projection out of his upcoming debut album micro mega (out in june)! for the new single strip steve is teaming up with the lucid and wild eyed dream-pop band puro instinct, young protégées of living legend ariel pink, straight outta sunny southern california. unlike his more dancefloor tunes stomp/mother circuit (bnr078), strip steve is taking us here on a trip painting lingering psychedelic-noir disco pop. astral projection goes more to the root and encapsulates musical influences from the beach boys, chic, and modern disco like amplified orchestra, highlighting the fact how versatile and multi faceted strip steves musical approaching can be. its the flirtyness with fragile lucency and the infantile embracement of the simple and still undiscovered popformula which leaves the song grow and breathe on its own. this cocktail is best served by the beauty of your own imagination. so relax & leave your soul wonder, cause astral projection will take you to a new dimension until youll have the pleasure to discover >micro mega< - strip steves debut album.

ltd 2012 repress !!! big l.garnier, steve bug, rolando support!!! what we re gonna do here is go back... back into time! this unlikely bulgarian/uk duo churns out an old skool chicago monster that reminds us of the rawest mr. fingers productions from the late 80s. we have been jacking our body ever since we first heard it. comes as vocal and instrumental. the b side sees a solo outing by kink and again it sounds like we go back 20 years... raw and dirty house music. when music is this good, let there be renaissance! our house is your rush!

samuel l session: hard to pick a fav here, they are all good. bring it on!

17 yr old josh thompson aka bareskin has been on our radar for sometime now. here he presents to us, 4 tracks of synth heavy, uk sounding club tools. flexing his ability to stride between club bangers, and early deepers, bareskin is most certainly a name to be watching out for.

after a busy 2011, nicholas slowed down the pace of production in 2012. here the italian producer returns with a new single for 4lux and what a banger it is! title track life goes on is a great club tune with uplifting bass, beats, rhodes and cut up vocal bits. ny stomp comes with a killer remix in the vein of the famous ny house trak: hard hitting old school beats and tough groove. on the flip two deeper but equally good nuggets in all i can give and messed up generation. some of nicholas best work to date!

fantastic remastered reissue of the highly collectable 1977 original uk ice records release >nobody s got time / timewarp<. produced by eddy grant and performed by the in-house band of his coach house recording studio, side bs groundbreaking instrumental >time warp< is the absolute must-have here. this deep and minimal track takes you on weird reggae-tinged psychedelic disco journey and is hailed as a seminal early proto-house classic popular in chicago as well as being huge in ny at mancusos loft, paradise garage etc. with its unmistakable falsetto riff, tweaky synths and a walloping bassline, this truly is a timeless electronic weapon! side as >nobodys got time< is more of the same but layered with eddys great gravelly soulful caribbean vocals - super funky. do not miss this!

here comes the follow up of michael knops successful vinyl on meleon with twomonster techno tunes including a huge d.diggler remix!

special tracks have a special story behind them.and this one certainly does. after mario & vidis recorded a couple of tracks with ernesto for their debut album changed they invited him to perform in their home country. during his short stay in lithuania ernesto performed two times and both times closed his set with a track called care. it was kind of a mash-up - swedish singer & songwriter was using lyrics of his old song to sing over metro areas classic caught up to a big effect - leaving the packed dance floors to a sing along to lyrical hook of sisters and brothers, smokers and lovers, care for me every time. big fan of metro areas sound vidis offered him to do a reversion of this mash-up using caught up as a reference and inspiration. the vocals were re-recorded, new arrangement was done, and the song was tested in the clubs as well as live on stage. so here it is - another big tune from the three to sing and dance along

this third outing expands further the mosso musical range, presenting alejandro mosso in some of his most rhythmic and yet, dreamiest atmospheres. unlike mosso002, which got the producer to hunt in his forgotten documents, both airs present on this record have been impetuously developed over the last few months. on the a-side, pleamar is a driving number which boots with a hypnotic metallophone pattern, slowly giving way into a electro (rga)nic piano fest, which in turn twists itself into bent, crushed and perverted synth whistles. this a-side has been designed keeping the lower half of the body in mind, offering full waves of joy and jubilation! now that you are grounded enough, how about flipping that record and meeting us on bajamar - low tide, litterally. on the shores of this b-side is where a wonderful landscape of shimmering spray and glistening stars await you. here again alejandros ability to bring together biotic and mechanic in a homogeneous unity is best revealed. in a magical tour de force, bajamar sends tingles from the base of your heels, up and all along your spine, into your crown, triggering instant wonder, reveries and realisations.

the title track has kenny larkin vibes, with the max d style cosmic twists we love down here. slick is sick too! features a remix from another certified hemp eater, terekke, who amazed us with awesome white label on l.i.e.s. last year ... killer package on this excellent label.

bop & diagram touch down on auxiliary under their abstract elements guise. super bass heavy minimal science is the name of the game here. delivered on beautiful purple marbled vinyl.

this new ep on vinyl dogboy kiosk eclectic records, shows two facets of this parisian producer. it transports us into his personal electronic music and festive first dogfunk, a punchy front, dance floor and groovy, this piece makes us dance on the funky bass music. on the other side bad dog, dogboy delivers here a deep bass music, relentless volatile and planing. yoshh! for its 22nd output, kiosk eclectic is glad to welcome a new comer on its wax series, the so called dogboy. the parisian based producer unleashed there 2 angles of his work. 4x4 bassline to start with a side, and its excellent efficient bassline groovy attitude. featuring the flip, were on a more glitchy & atmospheric level with a nice upfront dubstep tune

unreleased egyptian jazz: 2x45s set in a unique hand-printed fold-open pyramid! four sides of previously-unreleased ethnic mythic mystic jazz from the legendary egyptian drummer! before the re-release of his album with the cairo jazz band recently, the name salah ragab was best known to jazz fans and record collectors by way of another lp that was recorded with sun ra in the early 70s. his album >prism music unit< with the cairo jazz band was released in egypt with another by the cairo free jazz ensemble, but perhaps only salah himself knew of the other songs he had recorded at the time, but didnt make it onto these lps. the tapes lurking for decades in an old trunk, its taken until now for them to see the light of day, and we present them here as four amazing pieces of egyptian jazz on 2 seven inch singles. entombed within a hand-printed, hand-made pyramid shaped box, this is the first time in 40 years that these recordings will have come to light. ladies and gentlemen, behold the splendor that is salah ragab and the cairo jazz band!

mit seinem longplay-debüt tritt der produzent und sänger aus sacramento endlich mal selbst ins licht der Öffentlichkeit. als mitmusiker von zach hill, techniker und co-produzent der dirty projectors und gitarrist für marnie stern stand raleigh moncrief stets in der zweiten reihe, auf >watered lawn< rückt er ganz nach vorn. selbst gemachter elektronik-soul, sich vortastende psychedelic, das ganze im steten wechselspiel aus hell und dunkel und folkig intim vorgetragen. dabei schmiegt sich moncriefs herzschmerziger falsett an westafrikanische gitarren, synthie-effekte und verhallte beats. aus melodien werden rhythmen, aus moll wird dur, aus r&b grunge. und manchmal klingt es wie ein in acetat getauchtes stück von panda bear.
limitiert auf 1000 kopien, inklusive mp3-downloadcode

little is known about the norwegian bunny & bear duo known simply as the glue. their last appearance with us came courtesy of kolour ltd and we knew right then that these boys were in-store for their own ep with us and we are pleased to announce that it has finally come to fruition.
remix duties see the return of the incomparable dead rose music company to the kolour fray. he takes the title track and rubs it into a chunky piece of dancefloor business that has without a doubt turned into one of our favorite remixes to date.
we here at the kolour recordings family of labels cannot express just how much we appreciate your continued support. for all the gig spins, various chart support, podcast plays, and reviews .. from the bottom of our hearts .. we thank you very much.

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

we are proud to welcome simple & thigpen (aka helix) from detroit & a small town in southeast georgia on ilian tape for their first collaboration eva. as peanut butter is a national dish in the usa since ages, every real american knows how to lick and swallow it the perfect way. so here we go with a 134 bpm swangler that funks from your backyard trying to get your arm hard while you are playing a bit of dart! freak seven from manchester is transforming the original from ying to yang through adding his personal slang while designing men strings with jewelry for alexander wang. and last but not least the zenker brothers adding their incomparable dust in which you all hopefully trust. hugs & slugs from the bavarian headquarters of love.

just be, formerly known as bushwacka! drops second base on get physical this month. a collection of percussion heavy soundscapes to entertain your thoughts as the night turns to day. hold on, wait a minute is a heavy track for heavy dance sessions in the late night dark places we love to frequent. just be provides the perfect sound to company us on our journey into the vibe as it opens itself and displays its mechanical insides. an edgy percussive rhythm dominates second base, the second track of the ep, in its opening moments leading us deep into a forest of sound. theyre not playing games here, this is the deep night. touch me is a percussive wonder from rainsticks to bongos an organic feeling floats throughout. the bassline pushes on unwaivering and determined to move you to your feet in any situation.

detroit house at its best. amazing high tech jazz influenced 4 tracker by orlando b. after hearing orlando bs 2 full eps on germanys yore records, ric mcclelland & sean grieve head hunted the scottish producer for their seven music label. orlandos first outting on the belfast imprint was at the start of 2012 with a remix of giorgio luceris >one more time<. not content with just a remix, seven music asked orlando for some original works and here we have the >city life ep<. 4 tracks of chicago and detroit inspired goodness! the scottish producer and dj started making music at the age of 15 using an atari and notator sl. inspired by artists such as jeff mills, the advent, dave clarke and ian pooley, orlando began his career making techno. fast forward to 2012, orlandos studio is predominantly analogue based and his sounds have progressed to a deeper and more retrospective house sound. with 4 original tracks (1 of which is exclusive to the 12inch vinyl) the >city life ep< is arguably orlandos finest work to date. timeless yet forward thinking electronic music with soul and a record that deserves a place in any discerning djs collection!

ok, to call this album long awaited or highly anticipated would be a non sequitur. what lies here before you is sculpted out of the blood and tears of 5 years of life, and all the dreams, imagination, tristesse and longing that goes along with it. the name orgue electronique shouldnt be new to you, cause it isnt. for over a decade it has been lurking in the periphery of house music - forever too early or too late for the trend, be it as a solo artist or working alongside legowelt. but it seems the apotheosis is finally here, in the form of this mesmerizing double album: wholly matured and further enhanced by collaborations with luminaries like robert owens, alden tyrell and cult hero fre2k. but to just dismiss this as a retro house record would be to sell it short in a big way. sure it was influenced by the usual bunch of pioneers and icons, but this is not an epigone, this is music that is. its warm and generous, made up of real emotions, of moments frozen in time and of the impassioned cries of a soul on the run. thats right, this aint no hipster shit dime-a-dozen facebook house gonzales! to finally let it go after so many years is - for all the parties involved - a strange yet exciting moment, not unlike the birth of an elephant baby. out of a human female

place 2b & paimon go on the melodic tip on this blistering new fokuz limited. beautifull intro turns into a huge bassmonster right here, nice one! for the flip the guys did a collab with a vocalist to make their already epic soundscapes even bigger, nice rolling beats fitting in perfectly well and than there is the bass howling sounds. the new twist for 2012, play it loud!

alden tyrell hooked up with mike dunn for some new work!. a golden combination which already worked out great as we learned from the heavy remix tyrell did for the murphy jax & mike dunn collaboration (its the music - cat# cjfd06). tyrell always jamming and playing around with his synths had some tracks inspired by early mike dunn songs. so the obvious happened ... the hooked up for some appropiate vocals and here it is ... touch the sky! a peak time acid monster with mikes vocal chant in the style of his classic md3 projects. gerd is on remix duty here and delivers a killer remix with a more traditional chicago groove and build up. clone head honcho serge had some studio time with tyrell for a dub mix. the serge & tyrell dub mix turned out a bit wild and became a classic piece of piano and dx bass driven chicago house music with stuttering vocal samples and a acidic synth line. another strong clone jack for daze!

played and supported by kenny larkin, laurent garnier, adam x, speedy j, norman nodge, dvs1, pig & dan, perc, max_m, jonas kopp, freddy k, kirk degiorgio and more. cannibald ? do you remember something about an lp of the 90s signed by leo anibaldi ? yes! its the label of leo anibaldi. until three years ago his releases were on vinyl. then he continued in digital format until now. now its time to release again a special vinyl!luigi acidmachine is an artist who has been behind for years very underground projects, as part of the crew also historical (see virus-rome in the 90s). here comes with three tracks, powerful, intelligent, and demonstrating the evolution of his mind and his ability

uh oh! here we have last years ridiculously massive backwoods tracks remixed by esp institutes bad boys. the stallions (lovefingers and lee douglas) take dj kents hit cloud nine to the church of rave to meet a dirty belfast gospel that will turn your trout-pout upside down and leave your feet bleeding. just try to find a room big enough to hold this 12 minute monster! on the flip, cos/mes tropify the backwoods album opener awakening in a stylee that has become their signature, lush and loopy. this is a special collaboration between tokyos ene records and esp... dont slee

bodi bill - what remixes (apparat & thomalla) in 2011, there was no way to get around bodi bill - and it will continue in 2012. right on time for summer, the band releases two exciting remixes of their hit-single what on their own label krakatau. luminary apparat and young talent thomalla have chosen the smoothest and breeziest track of the album to rework it with verve and experimentiveness. the tracks differ considerably, and yet there are parallels between both artists: they share a vision, an affinity for progressiveness and audible enthusiasm in each track. apparat - who released his very successful album the devils walk in 2011 - breathes autumnal coolness and depth into this summery number.the result is thrilling, unexpected and spine-tingling. thomalla also rejects construction kit primetime-techno and shows his remarkable talent in two very unlike versions of what. with his overwhelming desire to experiment and discover, he created tracks to dance to, that move beyond the typical minimum radius. this record gathers pop and electronic avant-garde: the record-label and artists wanted to fathom the boundaries of rhythmics and harmony - and they clearly succeeded. here, two exceptional musicians show their vision of electronic dance music, enthralling, fascinating and exciting!

red earth records presents a new six-track ep. responding to popular demand, the title track >we re not leaving< is here presented in a radio-edit version (side 1, track 1), after having been released in an extended version last year on 7 inch vinyl. this will be plugged on uk radio this summer combined with a uk and european tour, preceding the release of the new soothsayers album in september.

limited edition vinyl reissue of the deeply balearic and impossible-to-find extended version of the magnificent tranquillo (melt my heart) from the one and only carly simon. produced by the acclaimed arif mardin, who also worked with such luminaries as aretha franklin, esther philips and donny hathway, this 1978 classic rides soulful disco-tinged waves of blissful strings, heady horns and cosmic guitars with a rich orchestral feel - no wonder this is a such a firm favourite on the balearic scene with djs in the know from harvey to phil mison. originally released on a promo-only 12 inch single with the same version on both sides, tranquillo is here backed by another essential sun-drenched gem from ms. simon - >you belong to me<. a jazzy, breezy summer groover laced with gentle piano, soothing vocals and some amazing saxophone from virtuoso david sanborn. welcome chance to grab an affordable copy of this highly desirable 12 inch.

>twistin the night away< was one of cookes more successful lps, only his second ever to chart, and from here on, all of his albums would sell in serious numbers.
this is the remastered version of a record that has been out of print for a (too) long time! pressing on 180 grams audiophile vinyl.

what we have here is an album which is, if i may say, relatively positive and generally good for home listening. this album was recorded in about 10 weeks in a living room (the sofa being my bed), with restless swollen eyes at dusk and a love/hate relation with my machines, microphone and electric guitar.3 machines gave up on me during the making of this lp.i hope you will like it. tolga.
