ok, first of all i want to reveal a myth: these infotexts are mostly writtenby the labelowners themselves, not by hard-working editors. so what happens, when the guy behind a label releases his own music? well, either he is a well-organised deadline-machine and he asks somebody capable of doing this stupid job, or he realizes:
>oh fuck the distribution whats to do their work and they needed thissheet weeks ago...< so in the end, hes gotta do it himself: of course,now i could tell you how great this record is (what it is!) and what ahell of a motherfucker i am (also true!)... but i prefer telling yousentimental other bullshit instead... :)
this ep marks a newbeginning in my career. since some time now, >the fog burns off< and we get more and more stable in the buisness. last year we were on the road quite a bit and we found many new friends. people from other cities, who believe in the same things, who do similar stuff and who are of the same kidney as we are. so that makes me very happy, which reflects in the music. for the first time i feel like coming home, although we are at the beginning of our journey into the industry yet.

the new >5 seiten ep< by 60 hertz contains plays with the space in which it is meant to be played. corners. in a three-dimensional room. six two-dimensional surfaces. twelve edges, four sides the same length – parallel to each other. well, thats the theory. from outside one can only see edges, yet it is well curved inside. at first sight you wouldnt get it. you only see what you figure out. the question is - how deeply can you discover a space you dont understand? a fifth level, a fifth surface, a fifth side.

again traditional house tunes at its best from the french lhr crew

deluxe book-style package, includes artist notes, complete musical scores and photographs - 2x12 lp + cd.
in 20 years of kompakt no one ever got bored: the cologne-based label always knew how to maintain its geographic and stylistic positioning on the fence. we owe that to all those great – and also wildly different – artists who have found their way to us in two exciting, sometimes exhausting, always inspiring decades. from the borderlands between faux pop and cheerful science also comes colognes multi-instrumentalist gregor schwellenbach, who separated 20 label classics from their dance roots and re-recorded them as chamber music.

theres plenty of fresh faces in dance music and theres plenty of legends, but how often do you come across a legendary fresh face? christian taylor aka dj kon is about as fresh as it gets and yet has been doing it since before most of us knew how to cue a record.

farbaromat are the culprits at hand this time and theduo are not shy to show how much they have grown since their debut *arrestedsouls* was released last year

the recordings for the wires cracked were completed in a frenzied two week period in october of 2012. i had mentioned in discussing a previous albums construction that i prefer to forget how i build any particular electro-acoustic amalgam. this is so that i dont get to precious with them, so that i could refine them further, so that the sounds themselves speak beyond their aggregate parts. with the album being relatively fresh in my mind, i can still recall various components to the wires cracked -- the desolate howl of a metal screen activated by a desert wind, the hissing air compression from the cooling apparatus for a laser at the slac national accelerator laboratory operated by stanford university, and the tremolo rhythms from a thin wire that still get me thinking fondly of günter schickert -- but much of the caustic drone, thrumming reverberation, and tactile grit thoroughly escapes me. that is probably for the best, since these various parts speak to an existential rupturing, the collapse of the self, the aftershocks of dark energy, and a belief in the hope for renewal. (jim haynes)

marcel braun is back on sop with a powerful and impressive release. warm vocals, wonderful melodic synths and basslines let you forget these cold winter days. on top threres an energetic remix by mauro valente, who s showing us once more that he knows how to burn the floor.

murat tepeli and ava. celebrate the long awaited single debut of murat tepeli on ava. with ?fee fi foe funk for me ep?. at the same time it s the return of a very well-known duo: murat tepeli & prosumer. after damiano von erckerts & tito wuns very successful ava.lp001 ?mr. pink, what have you been smokin??, this release makes another clear statement, how much freshness and undiscovered space there is in house music. a space, which murat tepeli and the remix-artists damiano von erckert und prosumer are surely filling with their exceptional tracks.

first in is a beat heavy analogue chug rework of the rare and weird italo 7 inch *i am your master* by the mysterious italo connoisseur savino dj and dj peet need based in holland. the arpeggiating bass line digs a circular trench that gets deeper as the track marches on until you end up stuck on an island with a strange creepy midget man. music that blurs the line between disco dreams and nightmares starion is back for more on ep2. how will he make a heavier track than ep1s *another dimension*? by making *darkstar*. analogue manctalo chug at its finest. big bass line, big synth chords, big vocoder action. you couldnt get more dark disco electronic if you went clubbing with daleks and the cybermen were djing.

we are the ones with the courage to stand up and express our ideas. so many heroes have sold out, moved on, and turned their back on the detroit underground. if the true believers are waiting on the calvary then i guess cryovac will have to do. this is our fight whether we like it or not. we are a few like minds, not the alphas, never the favorites. we are the other guys, the ones nobody bets on, the least likely to survive a business. we know what the score will bring us, but there is an appointment and we mean to keep it. heroes must define themselves and then redefine themselves. each day that moves forward brings opportunities to tweak creations into what the now means. kieth kemp endures the elements and ailments of an ever changing electronic world. he is an original hero with a smooth technique that reflects an instinctual nderstanding of sound and soul. kieth represents a talent and spirit that does not falter no matter how strange a circumstance can get. he follows his own path to relavence. i am proud to welcome kieth to the cryovac machine.

celebration! dpk #10. again, we start with a limited edition on coloured vinyl. this time we got inspired by a common phrase in the morning, how do you like your eggs? sunny side up!

forget me not is a trio from bristol with a rich musical history and close association to the city from which they hail. as solo artists they have put out countless d&b 12 inches and now combine their forces into an even more powerful production outfit. and that is all we are telling you ahead of the release of their four track ep, stronger, on losing suki.

dj agency, management company and webzine the underground add another string to their bow with the launch of their record label and first release underground fables vol.1. the inaugural outing on the underground audio imprint is an eight track taste of what the underground is all about, showcasing several of the artists they work with alongside a selection of the brightest new talents in deep and tech house, pressed on bright orange vinyl.

last year kyodai dropped breaking, which to date is the biggest selling release on local talk. now the brothers are back with in our opinion a future house anthem. the scene is a classic piano house cut that’s impossible to resist and together with one the coolest vocal samples we’ve ever heard we think this has the potential to go really big. when the breakdown drops we’re pretty sure everybody in the club will chant. but as if this was not enough we also got another big tune on the b-side. moving is the continuation of “breaking” and goes along the same lines with its crossover jazz styled house. once again kyodai delivers a supa solid house production with large jazz breakdowns and old school vocals that’s right up their with ”breaking”. this is also why we called it…breaking pt.2. kyodai is currently working on their debut album for local talk which is due later this year. they’re also travelling around the world with their amazing live dj set that we highly recommend. trust us when we say that these two brothers really now how to turn up the heat in a club…serious biz!

mikals *spiritual* is inspired by the sounds of classic metalheadz. a relaxed atmosphere soon gives way to a thunderous kick drum and warped bass. it is easy to hear how this vinyl cut has been hammering clubs across the world.on the flip continues utopias desire to push for consistent quality. rido performs his remix duties of *the chant* most admirably. dream-inducing atmospherics introduce this one, lulling us as the break builds up from the back of the mix into a climatic drop of beat and bass weight combined with the most meaty bass stab for the turnaround soldiers. dj support from andy c, friction, goldie, break and many distinguished others.

lawrence is always in a rush. running dial records, smallville and laid with his friends, being part in an awesome arts gallery, jamming some outerspace music with his mates rvds and christian naujoks, dj-travelling around the globe: how can he ever find the time for producing high quality house music!

portuguese troia phonograph kicks off 2013 with a stunning release. pedro goyas music is well known for his past releases on such labels as classic music company, music for freaks, brique rouge, exun, om. the approach is slight different this time (if you are familiar with pedros music). refined, full and risky, that is how we would name it. both tracks are long stories that keep you interested all the way. impressive sound signature, bouncy basslines, tight rhythm section and soul all around turn this record into something that cannot be done by accident or randomly. this is how a deep house record should sound.

with this third release we have returned to the structure of our first release together to bring you too wicked examples of his original take on house with a final track to send you on your way bathed in psychedelic sunshine vibes. how leon manages to combine ruff edges with smooth vibes is a talent in itself.

the second record from grow vinyl brings together andrey zots and laurine frost in a unique two track vinyl collaboration. andrey zots inspired by a laurine frost live session, made this the basis for a first collaboration between the artists and from a single musical foundation was born the all new shadow sessions.

there it is, keinemusik number seventeen. we know what you are thinking. you think you know how it works. you think, those keinemusik fellas will again be doing their little rotation thing, one producer getting a record out after the other, then a workparty-joint venture at some point and then it starts all over again. au contraire! this seventeenth edition is breaking the known beautiful, perfectly curled cycle. just like that, so that no one gets bored. this record here is an appetizer for a collaboration-effort between rampa, &me and nomi, the new york based singer that provided the recent movement of flamboyant disco-queerness with its sexiest and catchiest hooks, teaming up with hercules & love affair and doing her own project jessica 6. side b will take care of everyone who is expecting a safe playing house-rehash of the afore mentioned acts and tenderly let a lashing snare slap every preconception out of sceptic faces.

*it sounds like wood, metal and microchip.* – thats how italian producer lorenzo nada a.k.a. godblesscomputers describes his own music. with the follow up to his successful *swanism* ep, released in early 2012, *freedom is o.k.* is his debut release on equinox records from berlin and offers an amazing spectrum of organic electronic sounds and feelings.
