for the third in its fifth anniversary release series, stroboscopic artefacts brings together tracks from xhin, tommy four seven, kangding ray and dsrcd. xhins blade moth, previously released digitally by meerestief, finds today new (and remastered) life on sa. it is deep and propulsive, with scattershot percussion reverberating around finely tuned kicks and sci-fi oscillations. the detailed sound design and experimental quirks are typical of the producer, they made for a stunning debut album on sa in 2011, and here elevate the functional 4x4 skeleton into a fantastically ethereal piece of dance music

the german saying *ist der ruf erst ruiniert, lebt man voellig ungeniert.*, meaning once your reputation is ruined, your life gets easy, sums up a lot about furfriend s artistic doing. *freedom of filth* lives tightly along those lines and throws its full force of lushness at you, growing into an empowering industrial monster that makes you want you to rip all clothes off your body. if jfk did it, so can you. if big room sound is too much for you and you miss the simplicity and pervy voice of dingo tush that made the duo famous, you will wanna follow their instructions for self appreciation and have a listen to *touch myself*, a trainlike fuckfest for the dancefloor. make sure to bring some lube! following is a short live recording from the *fuck olympics* ... we are just going to leave this uncommented here.

the first new 12- single from echospace in 2014, engineered and mixed down from 1/4- analog tape and mastered by the talented fellas at alchemy mastering in london. focusing and enriching every finite detail. this ep features 2 new pieces of sonic meditation residing somewhere between space and time, somewhere in the cosmos. with the title track, -under starlit sky-, vaporous atmospheres emerge from the distance, while ghostly apparitions and analog modulations rise to the surface of a truly hypnotizing rhythm, submerging the mind deep into an analog world. with the -live- version a mixture of themes from -fading lights- and -under starlit sky- find an engaging syncopation, resting somewhere in the ether. those who loved echospace s -the coldest season- on modern love will have plenty to adore here. only 1 per customer

continuing a strong line of afro inspired works, men like pedestrian & jasperdrum drop another scintillating technoid excursion on 2nd drop. deeper, moodier with dynamically carved esoteric angles, *origins* moves forward from the superb kalakuta, the afrobeat meets bass music bomb supported by giles peterson, scuba, midland, mr scruff and many more, from last year, to deliver a heads down destroyer. off kilter, wonky and expertly crafted, pedestrian & jasperdrums *origins* is pure class, led by a host of syncopated percussion, haunting flute lines and distorted vocal samples, this is what fela would have sounded like if he had teamed up with carl craig in 2014! on the flip we welcome alix perez, best known for his dnb production but widely talented as shown by his arp101 outings on the likes of eglo. here, alix takes the tools to kalakuta, transforming the originals afrocentricity into a tense, punchy roller, dominated by a bass line which literally jumps in to your ears. toss in a stabby synth line, rifle shot drums and plenty of bass with space, this a beautifully crafted refix.

originally a weekly broadcast radio show on the dutch-based xt3 radio, reclaim your city (ryc) gained its reputation as a highly acclaimed podcast series with its headquarters in berlin. since 2012, eighty-eight podcasts have been published from some of the biggest names in contemporary techno, jeroen search, adriana lopez, fabrizio lapiana, exium and jonas kopp to name a few. with such success through its podcast series, ryc has decided to take matters to the next level and establish a label using its powerful concept as a platform.

for its first release ryc has decided to showcase berlin and paris, two cities historically known for placing great significance and expertise on the genre. berlin, consistently home to a resonating techno culture, competes here with paris who has been on the rise from beneath its bourgeois history. for this special first release zadig and antigone have been chosen to represent parisian techno, as blind observatory and subjected will in full support of berlin.

anthony collins and francis harris keep up the creative pace of their frank & tony project following the recent sprinkles collaboration, and once again a fine selection of tracks from their lp are on offer for deeper, more leftfield kinds of house record bags.love brut is an uneasy burner that uses a minimal amount of elements to create intensity, proving that simplicity is very often the key. the dub mix of resistance is exclusive to the vinyl, and it too keeps a stripped attitude in place with its plain and simple drums peppered with poised melodic content. villa seurat has a fuller range of percussion at work but there are no more fireworks to be found here than there are elsewhere on the ep, appealing to a more subtle kind of taste

89:ghost s head gonk nail gets a call from positive divide about remixing a track the latter did with legendary house vocalist robert owens. after short negotiations an agreement is made, braised tofu is delivered to a secret address and soon after 2 mixes appear in pd s inbox. included here are both nail s efforts, plus a remix by pd him/themselves. previously available only as a download, 89:ghost now supplies the physical. 300 copies in red vinyl only, no-re-press or digital.

reminiscent of a time where we were releasing 4-tracks sampler every month (remember the secret gems from the vault) it is naturally that we thought about a various artists sampler in order to introduce the new wild bunch. julian m, is french and is taking over right now, releasing here his first track on briquerouge, but the man is no beginner, having released on catwash, homecoming, denote, to name but a few and of course recently on our own rz muzik, his music is deep, acid, techy and ready to please any crowd, ange siddhar is working for laboratory records and works with legendary artists such as ron carroll, paul johnson or chris count and now teams up with illan nicciani on several house project, they have a strong vinyl lovers community following their releases and just joined the label with the show

if *the wanderer* was the record that brought romanthonys obscure blackmale label to a wider dj audience, *testify* was the release that cemented its reputation as one of the labels to check for in the us import section. here are brandnew remixes: jimmy edgar, in true blackmale style, takes romans original chops it in his sampler and lays the results over a thundering distortion tinged beat. it is proper raw jacking business, perfect for small dark rooms with a few hundred sweaty bodies. waifs & strays deliver a brilliant modern update complete with an air-punching sax solo (something that was definitely one of the nails in the deep house coffin the first time round and the kind of thing that could get you shot if you used in the 00s). illyus & barrientos deliver what is arguably their strongest remix to date dropping snips of the original over a quite brilliant bassline groove. ed one & boddenalso opt for some bassline action but add in classic organ stabs and todd edwards style vocal chops to their big-ass bass wobbler. lastly, we have the previously unreleased cd#9 vocal version which as usual, features one of romans deeper, more organic mixes.

our mission is to move people and our satisfaction comes from enjoying ourselves through music. without music we would not be here is the mission statement of brand new barcelona-based record label yakazi records. through the label, they intend to draw from the expressive universe that flows through various melodic and rhythmic scenarios, in which good taste prevails over fads and trends.

bryan black is back on clr with a new black asteroid ep, this time in close collaboration with vocalist wesley eisold of the band cold cave on the featured songs entitled black moon and here comes fear.

jana kirschner - a child of the bear and blueberry soaked forests of the geographical centre of europe, the land locked land now known as slovakia, mushrooms, berries, and nuts were her toys, the folk songs of slovaks, roma, and the magyar, her education….. winning spandex clad dance comps at 8 years old down the local dom kulture - culture house - disturbingly garish singing competitions by 12, and early forays into songwriting via misguided western wannabe production…. the surest route to 90s era slovakian stardom. jana has changed course so abruptly so frequently in her now eight album career no one dare guess her next move, yet with muzika she has landed, and announced, here is music, a celebration, no rules, pompous, bombastic, day-glo nonsense, it could only come from central europe.

just over a year ago hot creations sub-label hottrax released the massive puke it up from waff. making their debut on the label, mannheim natives bunte bummler follow up with a monster of a release, the purple talk ep. here they deliver three tech-house bombs directed straight at the peak time dancefloor. solid basslines, vocal snippets, sonic layers followed by hypnotic yet trippy fx, infectious melodies and ounces of energy make this an essential release for any record bag.purple talk is being heavily championed by jamie jones, richy ahmed, lee foss & patrick topping.

following on from her highly acclaimed ett lp on editions mego klara lewis presents 4 new works which further her signature explorations of field recordings, electronics, rhythm, sound and atmosphere. here lewis exemplifies her uncanny ability to harness the world outside in order to reconstruct and re-present this as amorphous musical matter. these 4 new tracks exude a certain ambiguity where standard signposts such as rhythm, ambience, texture, light and dark remain as elusive as they are present. whilst bypassing passive or photographic representation of the source material these works withhold a strong emotional quality resulting in a confident and at times brutal musical manifestation. as suggested by the title, msuic resides in a zone at once familiar and slightly off kilter, a world of lewis devising in which the listener is warmly encouraged to enter and explore. msuic is another superb collection of music as fantastic matter.

strait ii dat aka ronald burrell (of burrell brothers fame) dropped this scorching 4 track ep of garage house pressure way back in 1993 and here in 2014, it sounds as fresh as ever.
