pophop looks like a pirate, and what he launches from his music studio sounds like pirate ships. on board of these ships there s always a very colorful, exotic bunch of personalities. they are the multicultural characters of the original tracks from all corners of the world. under the command of pophop they sail straight towards the eye of the thunderstorm, which means the heart of the dancefloor. it s the place where he feels home. little by little pophop accumulated so many remixes, edits and own tracks that they fill a whole treasure chest. that s exactly what you get: a treasure chest full of dancefloor gold, and a string of pearls that is a mixed version of all these precious grooves.

the record cover shows a woman walking towards dusk - or is it dawn. two years after the success of night moves, a wander through a threatening nocturnal los angeles, h burns returns with a new record for twilight. kid we own the summer finds its identity between a few landmarks such as david lynch and angelo badalamentis california, the intimacy of bruce springsteens darkness on the edge of town, the relative calmness of suicideÕs second album, and the elegant melancholy of the national. in order to compose, renaud brustlein aka h burns decided to reinvent himself once again. he didnt repeat the live configuration that he used in 2013 with off the map, an electric storm recorded in chicago, with a band, in a single week, with the legendary steve albini. for kid we own the summer, the composer started working in his home studio, by gradual touches, because thereÕs no place like home. the result? a melancholy cinematic stroll across stories of misguided couples, unspoken words that end-up ruining peoples lives, the pursuit of dangerous situations, like an elegy to the end of adolescence - leading to a place were unsure of. born from a keyboard, a piano and a beatbox, these ten songs were brought to light, as always with infinite delicacy, by impeccable guests-friends strings by bertrand belin and vaporous keyboards by denis clavaizolle (bashung, murat, daniel darc) mixed by rob schnapf (elliot smith, beck) and mastered by the great greg calbi (springsteen, dylan, paul simon). noisey said of night moves that it was the perfect record for all the cold and sad months to come

time will tell. true words reflecting the artistic and mainly personal metamorphosis klaudia gawlas has gone through in recent years. the result is her second album ÒvisionÓ in which she approaches a place she calls home in a musical context. the energetic but at the same time deeper and more sophisticated sound of ãvisionÒ is proof the she has taken a big step towards reaching the artistic level her true inner self has been striving for. as so often in life a strong vision leads to a very pure form of motivation, which finally turns wishful thinking into action. vision is a straight statement and commitment to the roots of techno. something that matches pretty well what klaudia gawlas is known to stand for. vision. 11 tracks, released on cd

sweet addiction is yuksekÕs great studio comeback. its 5 elegant tracks signal his return as a main player. the maxi, which prefigures a 3rd album, features the greek singer monika (make it easy) and the duo her (on the1st single, sweet addiction). yuksekÕs characteristic sound, midway between post-disco, house and pop, shines through on its various tracks. even more than on his last album, living on the edge of time, yuksek shows his talent as a singer. his new melodies are sunnier than before, his beats and production more subtle. airy, but still conveying a touch of hedonism in its most club-friendly sounds, this ep is a foretaste of a sparkling new opus. bio : at the start of the 2000s, yuksek released a series of maxis and then two albums: away from the sea (2009) and living on the edge of time (2011).those records laid the foundations of a sound that uncompromisingly combined pop, disco and electro. then in 2013, he set up his own label: partyfine. it is now home to artists such as clarens, weekend affair, get a room!, jean tonique, juveniles,tepr and villa.

it was fitting that brazilian-born, austria-based artist joyce muniz broke through in an era characterised by the cross-pollination and globalisation of music. initially combining the sounds and rhythms of her home country with contemporary european electronic sounds, she later morphed into a house / techno producer of the highest calibre. along the way she worked with the likes of maya jane coles and viennese legends kruder & dorfmeister and released on influential imprints like 2020 vision and shir khanÕs exploited. itÕs the latter which has been her main platform for releasing music since 2011 and where she now unleashes her full-length debut album, made in vienna.

in times where a compilation of 12-inch bangers passes as an album, telephones Òvibe telemetryÓ opts for a different approach. without being a departure from his 12Ós for sex tags ufo, full pupp and yours truly or his brilliant remix work for jos� padilla and vangelis katsoulis, the norwegian producer from bergen who calls berlin his home, hones sound, skills and aesthetics on his debut long-player. Òvibe telemetryÓ is inspired by the pure feeling of listening to house, disco and techno, prior to knowing what it actually was: ambiguous, euphoric, mystical and melancholic. sonic and physical experiences, which names and origins were yet to be discovered.

shir khans exploited recordings has always stood out as a label with serious ambitions. from the consistent quality of its prolific output to its early championing of many a dance music star to its diverse array of sounds, it has felt like a highly accomplished offering even since its earliest days. now one of house musics biggest labels, it has come a long way since its humble beginnings in berlin. dancing & romancing gives a snapshot of the imprints last five years, charting its story from contender to heavyweight in stunning fashion.

garden of love one of the first single tracks feat peter hook (new order) on the cover of their new album malamore, their first album for because music, lionel and marie limi�anas are back in black, and looking ineffably cool, standing next to a classic silver fifties trailer, shot at a beach festival in the french town of paulilles by the spanish border, just 30 minutes drive from the duos home town of perpignan. theyd been playing a dj set, only with 45 rpm vinyl - sixties punk, italian pop, movie soundtracks and seventies rock tracks, they recall. the picture syncs well to the colour of malamore, like the artwork of a movie soundtrack. the lettering on the cover is significant too.

two years on from his previous full-length, irishman-in-stuttgart marcus lambkin returns with what follows, his third album. recorded in his home studio, but mixed with juan maclean in new hampshire, it s a typically stylish and trippy set that methodically joins the dots between giorgio moroder, lcd soundsystem, italo-disco, german techno, balearic deep house, and intense chicagoan acid. lambkin has always been adept at making club music both left-of-centre and accessible, as if he secretly pines to make 80s synth-pop but is consistently drawn towards the dancefloor. this certainly explains the quantity and quality of the vocal numbers dotted throughout what follows.

two years ago i played at studio 9 in vilnius, lithuania. the following day i missed my flight home and ended up spending an extra day, which gave me a chance to explore the city with my friend linus, who took me to the contemporary art centre. it was there i spotted a book named ÔrojusÕ, that linus told me translated as ÔparadiseÕ. the word and striking cover of the book stuck in my mind. a few days after returning home, i turned on to a national geographic documentary named Ôdesigned to danceÕ, explaining the courtship rituals of birds of paradise. as i watched, i jokingly began drawing similarities between these birdsÕ attempts to captivate and impress the opposite sex with dance, and the way strangers try to attract one another in clubs and interact on the dance floor. this gave me the idea of creating a record of functional club music, sequenced as if it were a club night, from doors to closing, using samples of these birds of paradise and their habitat. thus, rojus. leon vynehall 2016

ever since first appearing on bristol s black acre imprint back in 2009, kwesi darko s blue daisy project has been hard to pin down. 2011 debut album the sunday gift was a triumph of woozy downtempo fusion, with bustling bass music influences rubbing shoulders with folksy elements, ambient, trip-hop and experimental electronica. following black acre s demise, darko now finds himself on r&s, a label willing to let him follow his unique path. as a result, sophomore album darker than blue is an even more adventurous and enjoyable set than its predecessor, with darko adding modern classical, beat poetry and hazy jazz influences to his already heady musical brew.

the last 12 months have been a boon for fans of luke vibert, with the veteran cornishman delivering a killer acid album for hypercolour, and a slick, melodious set of disco-inspired jams under his kerrier district alias. here he returns to regular home planet mu with another typically entertaining set inspired by classic british electronic music. utilising his battery of vintage music-making machines, vibert giddily doffs a cap to early 90s intelligent techno, rave-era hardcore, bleep, chicago acid and braindance, occasionally veering off track via easy listening inspired future jazz, wagon christ style hip-hop head-nodders (the title track, which doffs a cap to a forgotten, mid-90s remix he did for ninja tune) and squidgy, synth-propelled mutant electrofunk.
