welcome back sade! 180 g vinyl !!we had to wait 8 years for her/their new album - but it was worth every single day! special gatefold cover !!

new label by mastermind scope. mixup between deep, dreaming, jacking house. the list of involved artist and remixers needs no explanation. a little less than 8 months ago, ric mcclelland & sean grieve launched seven music as an outlet for their own material. in that short space of time, the label has grown dramatically. not only have they released their own material as scope, south west seven and sydney young, but the label has become a home for a wealth of new talent such as sumsuch, chilf, stephen day, replika and giorgio luceri. key players in the scene such as audio soul project, huxley, russ gabriel, ethyl and orlando b have also joined the seven music camp and helped the label continuously build. the label has accomplished a lot in a short space of time and this collection of tracks handpicked from the initial 10 releases is only the 1st chapter for seven music!

pillow talk continue to impress with their unique body of sounds on the latest wolf + lamb release. masters of weaving a variety of styles and influences with sumptuously nostalgic live vocals, this debonair san fran trio is fast becoming a prolific force on the global scene. its difficult to pigeonhole the pillowtalk sound since its purveyors are such experts in playful eclecticism. shifting the tempo and joining the dots from retro soul leanings to deeper electronic, pillowtalk is a melting pot of influences and voices that takes you on a new ride with each sonic wave. bursting with original vocal flair, the far from heaven ep is a steamy four-tiered affair, between the sheets and under the disco ball where tales of lust and desire unfold to soundtrack of 80s sex music and soulful house.

the man whos seen it all, thats terranovas fetisch, but he had it coming. as punks earliest and certainly youngest adopter, he strolled through late 1970s berlin, then moved to new york researching the first symptoms of hip hop, only to find himself being a many clubs resident dj in london at the end of the eighties. enters terranova, shrouded in mystery from the very beginning, fetisch‘s go-to project, that he originally conceived in 1996 to explore new club territory, and that has since built its very own cult following. kompakt truly feels honored to be the new home to an artist with such a rich background in club culture, especially as terranovas latest incarnation includes berlins house staple and boywonder &me as well as guest singer khan in his preferred role as the longest running hype in the history of underground awesomeness. consequently, it is with great poise that the trio‘s latest 12inch >so strong< commands its army of listeners to the floor, not unlike terranovas first outing on kompakt, the confidently named i want to go out. both the title track and epic flipside boogie for the dollar make up for a double headliner that takes you on a beguiling trip to the dark side of the club. no only do terranovas sequencing and beat programming deliver in spades, the package also sports some of the best vocals khan has churned out to date, featuring his trademark fusion of cool indifference and pure sleaze: >i give myself up to your splendor... so strong.<

classic!

first on decks.de !! the norwegian composer and producer robert solheim have been releasing quality underground music spanning from ambient to chilled electronics and techy house and techno for more than a decade. and now, after spending months fine-tuning the album > hollywood under the knife< in the dark electronica project the opiates with billie ray martin, he has finally found time to submerge himself into his other world of fine art electronics and is back with a new ep in the category, >music for your home and club entertainment <. the >syv / o portiño ep< contains two 2 trippy and techy house tracks labeled with his unique quality. both tracks taken from his forthcoming album heretics<, and the ep comes with superb remixes from john tejada (kompakt , pokerflat, palette) and dj puk (aquavit records, smiley fingers). be prepared to go deep both at home and on the dance floor.

spezial price!!! the creative hub of taron-trekka, as well as dj team and beat crafter furnishes an individual experience of togetherness, a complete understanding on a deeper level. they have this primal groove, around which everything rotates, internalized. they carry this groove with their own signature out into the world. this raw groove diamond is constantly sharpened without being completely polished on all facets. on the new fat release they stand for an electric-infected development, that allows only the solution to seep in: deep-in-the-peak! thereby the kraken clutches fiercely to the coral reefs of the soul. their vision of a living sound can thereby sometimes morph precipitously into a technoid, housy, fine-spirited sort and then at once jazzy. the required resolve as it pertains to the dance floor is hardly missed from taron-trekka. the desire-principle and body language mimic are most definitely functional. the big bang doesnt explode in the space, but rather in the heart. as a special treat, the fellas adorn the cover of their 12-inch from the illustrator, designer and photographer tine drefahl (http://www. tinedrefahl.com). thus is presented from freude am tanzen a worthy conclusion to a sometimes turbulent jubilee year, a complete package of artistic expression in tone and picture that is at home both on the mantel as well as the turntables.

new label supafrico kicks off with a fantastic sampler 12 inch ep that unearths four stunning funky afro rarities from the vaults. first up is an awesome extended edit of hararis classic >party<, a floor-filling cosmic groover with killer vocals from 1980. next up are the wonderful lijadu sisters with their beautiful duet harmonies. featured here is >not any longer<, one of the stand outs from their uber rare nigerian only lp >horizon unlimited<. side b features the mega obscure 12 inch version of eko roosevelts breathtaking afro disco odyssey >kilimandjaro my home< followed by ezy & isaacs >take off<, an incredible afro funk work out taken from their impossible to find 1974 lp >soul rock<, one of the the holy grails of the afro genre. with all tracks lovingly remastered, this is a must for anyone with a taste for those amazing afro grooves - wonderful stuff.

beretta grey is proud to present the newest ep from toronto native arthur oskan. keeping with the same quality music crowds and djs have come to expect from beretta grey, arthur presents a strong and hypnotic release in which the true essence of his home town and love for detroit can be heard and felt in his music. arthur takes us on a dark and mysterious journey, channeling the emotions of deep dance floors across the globe and back. appropriately titled: >wants & needs<, this ep is a slice of classic techno constructed with a modern touch. rounding out this marvelous package on remix duty is the beretta fox himself, luke hess (deeplabs/fxhe/beretta). bringing that old school detroit warehouse vibe, luke hess serves up a deeper shade of arthurs original. perfect for a gig a in a dingy warehouse basement or your headphones, these sublime melodies are crying out for only the darkest dance floors.

sixteen brief and inconsequential images..glimpses of scenes flickering by… heres mickey moonlights debut album! full of discrete and subtle details this lp is definitely aimed for home-listening and not for the club (even if close to everything is receiving massive support from our dj friends..) although mm has assembled a large and stellar cast of musicians the album still remains his singular and unique vision.

the producer behind these mind-blowing slabs of heavyweight disco-funk perfection was one jp source, an exile from the geordie ibiza (that will be blackpool) and geordie mecca (erm, newcastle) now living out in the sticks in the states, far from home. the eps title, >get your bearings<, is reference to his struggles to come to terms with his new surroundings.
three tracks, all tried and tested, all disco dynamite. since he sent us these killer edits, jp source has begun to pick up interest elsewhere. he recently released an excellent ep of original material on audio parallax and has material forthcoming on edit, zzr and art star records. we reckon he has got a big future. all the more reason to >get your bearings< and dive into his bedmo disco debut…

limited backstock action !!!

tornado wallace has made a rather rapid climb up the hype list since his debut release here on delusions of grandeur in 2010 and deservedly so. definitely one to push quality as opposed to quantity, the melborne wunderkind has chosen to focus on just a select few remixes and releases which has stood him in very good stead and created demand as a dj and producer with genuine integrity as well as talent. in addition to his two eps on d.o.g he also released an ep for instruments of rapture as well as making remixes for home taping is killing music, kolour ltd and future classic. he is also responsible for one of ras best and most popular podcasts this year

off we go and leave the cannibals all empty. the skies are lowering into the sea. gently pushed by stones we wonder/wander on. somewhere behind a rainbow, apartment houses quietly suspire their berlin. the cheeky spirit is pinching the nose with zest. watch them trip and do the mashed morale. we dance with them, but not for long. spirits are holding the upper hand again. still we miss a beat with a heart still strong. noisy colors all blending in one blue. i sit with you where the citys down low. we know no wrong in the sound of a song. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the pointy poets heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whos mad with magics saving factor. we wander on, stroll to and fro things weigh us out, no con, no pro, unlike the jesters saving factor we stick around too long a-go. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the meek musicians heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whose magics not an urban factor. strike up the band, play on and on for sweet sage music always wins just like the jesters magic scepter beats up and down, forgives all sins. this is when you come stepping in. a row of tender houses smash your knees. the skies are lowering some more. existences twitching here and there. rain reflects berlins icy glow: a frisking spirit on the tip of your nose. we dance with him for quite some time. no stopping a hand that holds up in a work. no missing a beat for a heart goes on. flamboyant whispers strike a chord back home. you come to me, im not alone, in the sound of a song we know no wrong

doublepack of transparent blue vinyl featuring eleven tracks. a prequel to the debut album >welcome to mikrosector-50< due early 2012.

there is a certain dynamic that emerges whenever andre galluzzi and dana ruh pair up to create a record. with last year s >freya / mauersegler< split ep on ostgut ton, the two have already hit up some of the most prestigious labels in the electronic music landscape. tracks that are upbeat, driving, and, most of all, fresh have characterized their co-productions, which now have aras as a home. taking its cues from their label nights at berlin s panorama bar, galluzzi and ruh have solidified aras into an imprint based around expanding upon the creative energy that both share. their first release, >trambolla<, harmonizes each artist s approach into a grooving whirlwind that showcases their ability as producers as well as live musicians.starting off with the title track >trambolla<, the ep begins with tribal beats and infectious arrangements that seamlessly build upon each other along the course of the a-side. grooving from the start, it is the kind of track where the listener or the dj gets into the vibe right away. the percussion of >trambolla< especially stands out amongst the latin-tinged bongos, hi-hats, and hand claps that interchangeably come in and out of the track, a journey of its own at 9 minutes. >thelema<, the b-side, contrasts with the lightness of the a-side and demonstrates galluzzi and ruh s equal comfort in creating darker and heavily pounding tracks. the ten minute track grows out of a simple beat and growls ever louder as it takes in more intensity with its cascade of filters, delays, and booming bass. aside from the hard edge of >thelema<, it also provides a preview into the live set that the two artists are about to debut together.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

on this vinyl co-founder of net-label chevengur melody sol collected the best works of talented residents of the label living in far away cities and towns of eastern part of europe. you wont ever get such a compilation from famous labels or producers. here you can listen to underground sound of telegraph (promising minsk duo), groovy tunes of east soul person (disco birds) and experimental-dance music of uncle deep (ethereal sound, appetit, denkbar). a record for the dance-floor and a pleasant home listening.

young citizen from schwerin, josh, whom we already know from >ostwind limited< & >amuse gueule<, now presents his first own single on his home lable ostwind. >closing words< is the name of the vinyl and also the opener on the a1 in a fluffy josh-manner with stylish detroit techno. on the a2, josh will show us with >claiming back<, to which sound he has grown up and provides this oldschool track with a certain fresh note. with >steam trap< and >social affairs<, josh reenforces his emotional side on the b-side and knows how to persuade one with this tracks. a maximum sound experience on a minimal level, and a successful and smooth record that will bring every floor to the boil

you may have listened to fred de f productions with recent dance artists collaborations (adi-ermane - need each other, fred de f & luke jeferson - sankukai). new release cloud is still marked with fred de f touch and a distingtive radioactif musical flavor.
fred de f original version is progressive, ultra-bumping, inspired from spanish soundings. the version releases body-heat and energy. great track for dancefloors. tom donax composes an aerial remix and explores a different universe: breakbeat soundings, vocal inspired from the nineties and presence of pads break the rhythmic bringing the record a nice equilibrium. cool version for a home listening.

bristol purple w0w pioneer gemmy rolls out his second plate on his new home imprint and what a banger it is too! both sides hit hard on the dancefloor with >too far< heading up the a-side and >da dodgems< on the flip. solid ammunition that is in for a penny – in for a pound, bright and tastefully energetic throughout.

limited 1st run on marbled grey vinyl !3rd in this superb deep techno series, support from: sandwell district, scratcha dva, sigha, james ruskin, mark broom, claude young, steven tang, billy nasty, delta funktionen, miles sagnia, morphosis, ben sims, commix, jerome sydenham, regis, shifted, function etc... surface return with the third in its beneath the surface series, following on from the extremely well received between worlds release. journeys to the deep volume 2. is an important and personal record to nick and the surface camp in general, paying tribute to family elder jessica dunton and her influence on nick and his families lives, and her long fight to continue living against the odds! facing the heavens- sees nick take on his much lauded ever vivid moniker delivering an extremely fitting tribute that somehow blurs the boundaries between the early classic emotive sounds of 90s uk techno, house and 70s funk.. cutting synth lines drenched in soul develop throughout the track taking us on a deep yet strangely uplifting journey, the chord sequence beautifully maintains the mood, but for us at the office its all about the detail, piercing moog leads, emotive strings and rhodes, all driving along at pace on top of a reese type melodic bassline and rolling 808 drums. this is as comfortable in a club as it is at home. timeless in its approach, with a purist touch. on the flip nick duntons >leaving the planet< is an altogether different beast.. beautifully produced and super deep, this is the classic dunton sound of late, harmonic drifts and carl craig 69 era strings morph between lush sustained textures, that somehow float above the powerful pulsing bass, that imitates a heartbeat and really gives this track a haunting feeling that when coupled with the hypnotic phasing drums, and fluttering reverberating stabs make it is as deep as the sea, yet beautifully bass heavy. this is nick taking his wide screen cinematic sound and stripping it bare whilst losing none of the evocative touches that have made his recent music so affecting
