nice price deal !!! the third release on boogie originals is another genre-crossing musical excursion from deep space orchestra and james johnston... with a remix from voyeur rhythms ben sun. title track chrome hands clockwork space android sound rolls out perfectly along the deeper plane of the label, whilst ben suns remix lifts us up with added layers of percussion and super emotive synth work. on the flip james johnston treats us to two entirely different slabs of the sounds that inspire him. faces and traces works the slower groove for the earlier dance-floor, and sunshine stars bringing out the purely epic. all the tracks are made for the dance-floor, mastered separately for vinyl and digital release, and will be in all the usual music outlets soon.

for our 33rd release we welcome back darius syrossian whos last area remote >stay up dancing, get in monday< scorched the international club systems back in march.
seeking for peace was triggered after darius got home from a great gig and while chilling at home saw the news on tv. horrific footage of the onslaught in the middle east and the suffering of the innocent families caught up in the bombing made him realise that when he had been living it up, others were living in fear.
bass not bombs is the inspiration for the other 3 remixes. the proceeds from his two tracks will be given to the international red crescent.

te next release on double standard is the sonic love child of deniz kurtel, guti and gadi mizrahi. conceived at the dawn of a new year inside the marcy hotel, brooklyn, the way i feel ep- is slow, instinctive mood music, beautiful in its simplicity. floating on a lazy groove, title track the way i feel- sounds like the haze of being in love. intimate, sexy and deep, the sultry voice of a lover caresses layers of spaced- out beats drifting through low-key piano notes, distorted and interlaced with the woozy bassline. flip over to the b-side and the vibe of -3am- is muddier and full of eerie, echoing keys and disembodied vocals. with a bassline raw and impulsive, -3am- is the late night counterpart to the early morning bliss of the a-side. fluid in motion, light traces of techno slowly filter though the loose percussive rolls in spontaneous unison. as an integral member of the wolf + lamb crew and one-time resident at the label-s creative source –the marcy, deniz kurtel has since evolved into one of house music-s most exciting producers, releasing her dazzling debut album on crosstown rebels earlier this year. dynamic argentinian producer guti is known for his grooving, latin-inspired techno on labels such as desolat and supplement facts but this ep-s trip into more languid territory is a pure expression of the accomplished jazz pianist-s affinity for experimentation. through his intuitive operations, wolf + lamb and double standard label boss gadi mizrahi has given a home to a variety of deeper sounds filtered through an alternative vision for house music. -the way i feel ep- is double standard at its unadulterated, sensual best.

we met fred ventura in 2006 over emails sent to italians do it better headquarters. he was one of the first people from europe to start writing the label prior to after darks release. it took us a few months to realize that this was fred ventura, the cult italo legend from milan. like a true gentleman, he had never bothered to mention it. since the early 1980s fred ventura has released numerous singles in europe & toured the world extensively as a solo artist. last year, johnny was in bologna on tour with desire & fred came out to the show to drink champagne & bring us some copies of the reissued tapes of fred’s early post punk group state of art. the lightbulb lit up & we asked him if he had any home recordings of his solo work. months later, he sent us 83 tracks of cassette recordings between 1982 & 1987. they had been sitting upstairs in a dusty box at his parents house in italy for the last 25 years. these tracks have only been heard by a handful of his closest friends. we were completely floored & honored! finding a beautiful treasure completely untouched & preserved is so rare. the songs are raw & honest written by a romantic with a love for an anthemic chorus & a drum machine running through his veins. think early minimal depeche mode with an italian heart. ornew order covering madonna produced moroder. yes, its that good. here we have the first official italians do it better release of these songs on a 4 song 12inch ep. this vinyl only release is a teaser for the >dont give up< 18 track lp out in a couple of months. so in the meantime, slip on those gucci loafers, rev up the alfa romeo and head down to the discotheque because life is too short

crimecity disco is back! this time with a fantastic debut ep signed nils w, former jazz drummer located in the northern highlands of sweden. comes with a fresh artwork thats originally made by simon persson. the a side, nickel n dime, is a percussive track with jazzy elements that fits its purpose both on the dancefloor and for relaxed home listening. on the flipside it gets spaced out with bladerunner soul, a slow, hypnotic stomper that works great on the dancefloor. crimecity disco is a diy house-label based in berlin, with the heart in malmö, sweden. vinyl only

the second serving from schmorgasbord brings together two relatively disparate and unrelated artists, but who both share a uniquely twisted approach to making music. s-max has been doing his thing for some time, running legendary home all things bizarre in house and techno, boogizm, and releasing a special kind of groove on labels such as telegraph, 7th city and karloff. his original track, >ms. rosen dub<, swaggers and sways with the spirit of classic yorkshire bleeps and bass. the groove is house, but the spirit of adventure is most definitely techno. his remix of spatials >corti< takes a very different approach, taking a rolling, jungle-like approach to dubstep and nailing it to the groove with stabbing bass notes. spatial leapt onto the bass music radar late 2008 with his shadowy infrasonics imprint, and quickly snapped heads with his crisp, refined approach to 2-step rhythms. since then he’s done things on his own terms, only releasing for himself and mutating his sound over a series of 10 inches. >corti< perfectly demonstrates spatials unconventional tendencies, lurching and buckling around a perfectly honed splatter of beats, off-centre synths and delirious vocal snippets. meanwhile on his remix of s-max, spatial flips the script once again with a stomping, swung techno angle that hammers the original into an uptempo, fist-pumping banger.

in the south of panama lies the darien gap, a vast unpenatrable jungle swamp that divides central and south america. it is so hostile that even the pan american highway stops there in what would otherwise be a non-stop highway stretching from alaska to argentina. many explorers never returned and it is believed that the 10.000 square mile piece of green hell is home to secret guerilla bases, drug labs and many mysterious & dangerous animals.

leaving in their wake a trail of mass seduction, the wolf + lamb crew are back from their recent worldwide dj kicks tour, bestowing two of the sonic jewels that lit up those clubs, rooftops and basements. main players gadi mizrahi, soul claps eli goldstein and greg paulus of no regular play, impart the w + l effect with the >lucky paul remixes< courtesy of somethinksounds. while gadi mizrahi & zev eisenberg of wolf + lamb are in no small part responsible for the sexy slo-mo revolution in rnb and disco inltrated house music, they cannot be accused of languishing in the hype of their own movement or direction in sound. instead, the label is backing a seemingly endless stream of talent in north america and beyond, consistently unearthing and nurturing artists that share the same ethos and intrinsic approach to creating timeless music that is not built to rush, and dissipate but drive into your soul and set up home there. here, the new collaborative case in point is berlin resident and new zealand native lucky paul

once only famous for the jurassic relics in the pitt rivers museum, oxford now has a new exciting creature roaming the streets and he goes by the name of totally enormous extinct dinosaurs...after releasing his previous three eps through the hot chip-affiliated greco-roman indie, teed has now signed to polydor records and is busy putting the finishing touches to his eagerly anticipated debut album. joining label mates such as jamie woon, la roux, klaxons and many more, its the perfect home for one of the tips of summer 2011

proper heat slid onto the nangsphere last year with their nifty >we are ready< ep. they certainly were… good reception all around and some fine plaudits. fast forward on 6 months and we are really pleased that the follow up >move ep< hits the streets. proper heat are from lithuania and are made up of martin virgin, saxtone and some fine vocals from karolis ramoska. laid-back, accessible disco house is the order of the day with this ep. we have two finely voiced tracks. dulcet tones and catchy songs abound with karolis doing a fine job in the voice department. lead track >the move” is mid tempo groover. mixes from nang label new-long-found-friend james bright and label stalwart (and supertop photographer) ichisan… you are always a subject when you are in the same room as this guy…. snap snap snap. james grooves it up with tight synthy bass and ichisan gets electronic and rolling. you can check out the video for >the move< on youtube and our home page too. the equally able >get ready< also makes a strerling appearance on the ep. another fine disco groovoid song. all in all the package overflows with extra dubs and instrumentals. bountiful disco abounds.

seit 2006 sind devin booze und sarah reynolds als ear pwr unterwegs. ein projekt, das von boozes instrumentierung, reynolds lyrik und dem kreativen zusammenspiel der beiden lebt. boozes ausbildung an dem von bob moog gegründeten music technology program an der universität von nordkarolina liefert das klangfundament, auf dem ear pwr errichtet wurde. mittels einiger alter synthesizer und reichlich perkussion schaffen die zwei dicht gewobene klangstrukturen. das bescherte der band nicht nur eine einladung zu dem von animal collective kuratierten atp festival in england im mai 2011, sondern auch eine us- und europatour mit ihren labelmates toro y moi. ear pwr , das zweite album des duos, wickelt die soundgespinste des 2009er-debüts weiter und offenbart dabei ein reichhaltiges set von klangkonturen. entstanden im heimischen nordkarolina ist ear pwr so freudvoll wie beruhigend, so sentimental wie neugierig.

the berlin-based partnership of long-time friends steve bug and clé has reared many a classy deep house tune in its time… their classic silicon ballet ep from 2007 led us heavily into their sound, combining melodic, blissful elements with the heavy vibes of the old-school acid days. now were due another full ep with seven hills. the title track is a refined, long-playing stormer - perfect for the coming months as the summer weather stirs up open-air fever! from humble beginnings a riotous, epic track grows fusing the poker flat boys patented analog production and natural ear for a melody. heartfelt strings draw the track to its finale as a teasing breakdown arrives around the 6 minute mark. this is a real slow-burner in the best sense of the phrase. the more urgent monkeyshoulder drives a deep blazing night-time vibe all the way home. smooth, filtering chords and spacey stabs swirl in a magical futuristic-yet-classic house jam. simply deadly in the right moment, this bright and dynamic production really does justice to the pairs talents

this time mr raoul k not only wants you to dance - he wants you to go crazy on the dancefloor. in his well known way he crafts a relentless groover that sends everyone on the floor into the higher state of concsciousness called trance. he layers track upon track and builds a solid grooving base…. for the balafon. a handmade percussion instrument not unlike a marimba that gives guinean music its characteristic flavor. the vocal loop on top draws you deep into the vortex of nested percussion, african melodies und thick baselines. thistrack will never let you go - like moebius band. its main theme will stay in your head for a very long time. it will shake your hips after you left the dancefloor. and it will escort you on your way home after youve left the club. maybe it even serves as a lullaby after a long night out. already tested by Âme with stunning results.

simoncino (aka nick anthony) from italian super edit label no more hits crosses the atlantic and finds a new home with on the prowls sub-label party breaks. what immediately stands out upon first listen is the production style, not being able to tell what is a sample and what has been replayed... much like tensnakes mega hit. the simoncino sound is firmly rooted in proto-house and 80s r&b. with ingredients like ancient drum machines, arpeggiated melodies, and cheap 80s pads, his concoction boils over with a certain cheekiness that makes listeners grin from ear to ear. all four tracks are subtle hits in their own right. excellent ep!

kubrak, one half of dynamic production duo utopia, previously featured on brd003, with his solo effort ‘fast forward’. cementing his name as one of the emerging artists to keep your eye on in 2009, kubrak has gone one step further to unveil his first solo release on breed 12 inches. yet another russian (one of 5 to appear so far on breed’s back catalogue), kubrak captures the industrial movement of his home country, in such a manner that results in a legion of fans. unrelenting, much like his homeland, his production output is in your face, whilst keeping your feet firmly planted with inventive and progressive melodic based arrangements.

following the wild success of a tune called >miezekatze< the viennese duo ogris debris now teams up with munich based academic producer and guitar virtuoso bartellow for a split/vice-versa feature ep. bartellows opener track >the thrill is gone< calls its home the kenny dixon jr. house territory while its funk feelings remind us of soulmates bootsy collins and george clinton. then the so called >rethrill< performed by ogris debris drives the tune even further into a pumping house excursion going crazy on a euphoric vocal chorus cryin out loud: thats why we party all night long!

bermuda is a rare project from kimmo oksanen and roberto rodriguez. fusing synthed out deep house and disco vibes the talented pair have crafted a real blast from the past with the super cool retro styled ihasama. the release comes in three fantastic versions. firstly the thrilling nacho marco remix fuses 80s vibes with a modern approach as he twists the originals synths into an old school jacking house jam! the extended club music edit sees oksanen and rodriguez open up the energy levels with a more discofied, running mix. subtle key changes and some genius instrumentation really bring this mix to life, as its rousing synthlines do the business. finally up and coming uk producer jay shepheard reinterprets ihasama into a funky, light hearted jam thats perfect for the summer sun. soft strings rise and fall before a walking bassline brings it back it back home. more great work from this growing talent!

new vocal 12 inch on wph....tip! it should be obvious by now that we here at the wph camp are keen on real vocals. so while the rest of the world is busy sampling and recycling vocals from the past, leave it up to us to pick out those tracks that feature fresh and home made vocals. although wph 012 by dj yellow also indulges in a little bit of recycling, or rather good old fashioned licensing. the title track >night in tranzylvania< has been a huge favourite with label boss red d and his belgian crowd ever since it was released on the criminally overlooked album >intermission< on project recordings in 2008. but now it is back in all its glory and supported by >angels part< a killer ambient track which also featured on that album album, >je tm<, a new track by dj yellow and a russ gabriel remix of the title track.

started in 2005 by gorge and nick curly in mannheim, 8bit records is celebrating its 5th birthday with a special compilation including more than 30 artists and only exclusive tracks to be released only within this big package. beside the hyped and sometimes boring minimal trend 8bit was one of the first imprints combining minimal deep elements with danceable house grooves. in a short time lots of turntablists and producers all over the world payed attention to their releases and the >sound of mannheim< was born. a lot of young and fresh artists like johnny d, ray okpara, veitengruber earned international attention and respect same as already respected artists like oxia, audiofly, marcin czubala or the timewriter find a new home for their music....

for our 69th release on 100% pure we welcome ramon tapia.
son of a chilean musician, his fathers music was provocative enough to enrage the military government of his home country, resulting in the whole family having to move to europe. now belgium based ramon has been creating a similar stir with his own productions, only this time the labels and remix requests have been running to him. with releases already on 95 imprints including defected, great stuff recordings, hed kandi, noir music … we are delighted to welcome him to 100% pure.

the fourth release on dont be afraid >west acyd shelter< takes one of the most important jazz funk records of the 1970s as its starting point. semtek rebuilds the legendary hook from scratch over a disorienting range of acid, broken and techno accoutrements leaving a tweaked out bassline stepper. photonz bring their unique lisbon via essex style to the proceedings with an >i cant believe its not garage< take on semteks beat, proving yet again that they are a force to be reckoned with in 2011. the b-side >east acyd shelter< is a sparse analogue workout that would be at home as much in legendary and much missed kings cross hangout the key, as it would in a james bond soundtrack of the timothy dalton era.

for over a year the label released continuously and brought not only rocco caine and ping! to light. the tracks found in many charts, record boxes and laptops of the world a home. the remixes are quality goods, the remix of estroe rocco caines fatand50 will forever remain a catchy tune, but also heiko laux, alexander kowalski, turmspringer, matt star and patrick kunkel provided excellent remixes.
and now along comes the 10th catalog number and leutral recordings celebrates the first anniversary small with the leuten ep by justin berkovi, ping!, andreas brunner & martin brunner and mario zar.
