following their remix of ludwig coenen for tlm022 and a string of celebrated releases for nachtstrom schallplatten and perc trax, toronto s frederik hatsav and jamie kidd rejoin the thoughtless fold under their metalogic guise. enlisting new york techno veteran dietrich schoenemann on the title track, the trio delivers a sleek combo of pure analog bass and metallic percussion, resulting in an unrelenting yet stripped-down futuristic club workout. overseeing remix duties is techno legend bryan zentz. his first of two solutions, the empty vessel dub dives deep into late-night territory, employing the irresistible bass line of the original and embellishing it with sparse synth work and echoing atmospheres to stunning effect. as a digital bonus, zentz offers up the kenosis shuffle mix, providing added bounce with a boosted low-end while taking a house-leaning approach in the drum department and adding detroit-style stabs for good measure. on the flip, dark shines is a heady ride, intoxicant atmospheres and dynamic yet subtle arrangements solving as a mystical techno prime. whether exploring the outer reaches of modern techno or twisting up their uniquely abstract take on tech-house, the result is pure quality..

a true product of torontos thrillingly cosmopolitan grooving pot, this chinese-italian duo is quickly earning a rep for crafting highly effective acid tracks with just a hint of banger. they initially earned notice with their first ep, >vaporizer<, on this is music, before making fans out of some big names with these tracks, with brodinski championing >body acid< and forcing turbos a&r vibetrust to perk up their unbelievably jaded ears.
if you arent sold on the ontario-buzz, then maybe you will pay attention to two awesome remixes by the bombest bulgarian, kink. the deep mix is a lush, throbbing body-rub, and the acid version is a highlight-reel of peak time mayhem, already caned and charted by erol alkan and tiga. if nothing else, >body acid< is a vital reminder that acid goes into your body. thats just the way it works.

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

panacustica’s fourth release is amongst cosmic metal mother’s finest work. “time is now” the track in question, defies definition by mastering a style on it’s own, by fusing elements echoing from prog-rock drenched with emotional content into an adult and contemporary way of delivering which is unique to the cmm writing style. the original is melancholic bliss. a vocal line at the center of the piece whispers words about oscar wilde and mr. death accompanied by a cello melody that grows bigger and bigger into an angelic cascade of notes. the track begins and ends in the most bare way with just a drum beat leaving you with the feeling you have just entered a loop where time is irrelevant. commodity place has the second cut of the a side. the duo from rome, known in the global underground of the vinyl tribes for their signature guitar style, chooses to call their mix “experience”, clearly paying homage to the gods of rock, delivering a guitar solo that will fire up your speakers and fill your eyes with the brightest psychedelic colors that we all so desperately need in this age of grey anonymity. the b-side is a full eight-minute mix by the man who needs no introduction and made us all dance since day one, larry heard, a.k.a. mr. fingers. his version is a fast “four to the floor” track, where a shaker drives the house beat into the melodic lines and voice borrowed from the original, making it one hundred per cent dance floor efficient with the modernity and mastery of his touch

ashley beedle returns to the kat records stable, this time on their 45 offshoot...
first up we have flora purim getting ashley beedles extended edit treatment with the sublime latin-jazz funker >angels<. great vocal hooks, guitar licks and a jazz-funk groove with added disco overtones to boot! if the mizell brothers had been born in rio then this is what it probably would have sounded like.
on the flip we have brian protheroes >pinball<. a lost psychedelic pop classic which got to number 22 in the charts in 1974. a staunch ashley beedle fave with his tripped reworking doing exactly what i says on the tin. dubbed, stretched, spaced out and arranged to perfection. great!

fresh from his triumphant return to detroits movement festival, where by all accounts he delivered the set of the weekend, claude young teams up with his different world co-hort takasi nakajima for their debut release on art. the original is no-nonsense but thoughtful future-tech, with plenty of analog modulations for the heads - and dance-floor thump for the party people. on the flip, the legendary ian o brien delivers a typically deep, detroit tinged remix with trademark warm bass and glistening top lines. ian planned to do one more mix-down of his remix when the huge earthquake earlier this year pretty much demolished his tokyo-based studio.

heavy austrian dub mechanics from group niob aka phlox conspirators gerhard potuznik and martin sovinz. this is their 2nd release to date, a dedicated follow up to last years >vector ep<. opening track nexus takes dubtechno one step further down the road to the lowlands. it manages to keep the atmosphere dread and melancholy but balanced with light skipping percussion and whispering snippets over a four to the floor beat, creating an uniqe kind of bass music. second tune aldo glows with warm chords over thick and dreamy rhythms, rendered in spacious minimalist dub style. side two starts with a vocal drenched acid-rework of nexus by no other than tin man. the words >doesnt matter who your are< will settle down deep in your subconsciousness and refuse to leave for some time. already an anthem and that kind of tune that should not be missed on future dancefloors. the ep ends with a fierce and forward shifting, floor shaking nexus-rework by londons bass cadetts dark arx

black market records from london was without a doubt one of the influential labels in the early nineties with several great releases and a blooming store in soho. we are happy to see that some of their classic releases will be made are available again! first in a series of classic re-issues from their archives includes the amazing de-lite wild times remix by derrick may! arguable one of his best remixes he ever did.. and still able to touch the hearts! on the flip a piece of classic house music by desiya that ruled the dance floors for months in a row (no1 in the billboard dance chart!). a nice document of tunes that influence many. and man... we cant stop playing that amazing remix by mayday!

new release by kink and neville watson with sexual appeal made by the vocals of kim ann foxman (of hercules love affair). nice dub mix on the flip! their future-retro chicago house output made quite an impact on the scene over the past few years. with >a saturday in november< they keep their signature retro sound, but shift their tribute focus slightly on late 80 s new york and its >freestyle< days.

as the us retire each of their space going shuttles it appears that exiting the stratosphere is more difficult than ever. yet there is one pilot who still makes aural excursions into the cosmos, roland sebastian faber. since the beginning of aube records rsf has been serving up his brand of analogue astronomy, creating lush interplanetary sounds and otherworldly vistas. the french voyager, across three 12 inches, has introduced listeners to his astral world, one of deep electronic tones, cosmic undercurrents and 70s electro disco passion. once more this moog veteran is setting off on a journey into the synthesizer stars.

the newborn label oasi lab entrusts his 3rd vinyl output >third way ep< to a pair of talented producers: andrea bigi and marius laurentiu that after the exit on prestigious bla bla records, monique musique, be real, microzoo, compose an elegant track but at the same time killer for all dance floors, their sound is fresh and full of magnetic charge and suitable for all situations, thats the confirmation that a new generation of producers is taking life. thickness of the remix of the famousproducer horatio (viva music, natural rhythm, quanticman, sleep is commercial) which transforms the song into a trip ofincredible old school taste but with twists of surreal and hypnotic sounds! pure dynamite for rave oriented sound lovers. in the same ep, madutec s debut in oasilab with his deep and dry sound incredibly effective if you require elegance and powerat the same time, track that makes the ep mark a new way of making music andconvey positive vibes.

rebuilt album is a lp from ethnik groove that includes 6 new remixes from some of the classic tunes (funky moment - gotta go - unexplicable life) produced by paul eg with two bonus tracks. after several singles in collaboration with international renowned artists such as eriko tanabe, quantec, jeff bennett, davide squillace, florian meindel, markantonio and umberto carmignani, ethnik groove has invited benja, david lazzari, paul eg, reto ardour (switzerland), lee burton (greece), philip braunstein (brasil), jeff bennett (sweden). they frequently release outstanding lp on various international labels. these artists were chosen for their musical feeling and for their collaboration on brilliant tunes released on ethnik groove and minimo imprint, our techno-minimal division. musical approach the concept was to regroup artists with a diverse range of musical flavour in one lp to obtain a non -superficial album. the original tracks have a different approach from the techno tunes produced nowadays. the idea was to keep the same groove with a current trend to allow the artists to add their own musical flava in a defined style between techno, minimal and tech-house.

copenhagens northern structures duo return on sonic groove with their second release entitled service & devotion . their debut release hit the scene with a strong bang. earlier this year you could not attend a proper techno event in berlin without someone dropping a track off their debut self similarity ep. djs such as ben klock, marcel dettmann , tommy 47, chris liebing , rolando & milton bradley were all playing it amongst any others. now back with their second release, northern structures follows up perfectly with three more songs of well crafted industrialized dark pumping techno. contemporary techno at its finest!

summer has all but gone as the darkness draws in, the clocks go back, and fina records releases something a little different for the night owls. cosmic dutch space cadets morning factory step up for fina 005 with a slow motion rhythm and tone ep. having previously appeared for yore records and brother from another mother 2020 vision, the guys have been busy in the windmill whittling a perfect autumn release. sultans of swing ep doesnt quite shadow dire straits but it certainly delivers. hypnotic title track of the same name is features futureproof basslines, layered with an enigmatic drowning echo-led synth while >lady< adds a different finish to the wax. here we find d angelo s 96 vocal hook effortlessly breaking through the shuffling punchy bass.

safeword is an exciting new act comprising of 2 dedicated us-based producers, clint stewart and marc smith. their low slung, warm and sexy sound already gave way to one ep on paso music and now we find them really hitting their stride with their debut for dessous. lead track >you can you will< introduces us to safeword s world, a sleazy, percussive and intricate gel of textures, flavours and audio fetishes. punchy, bright production characterises this modern house jam. the eventual arrival of a deep and spritual melody is surprising and instantly turns the snaking drum tool of the introductory minutes into an anthemic, autumnal beauty. leading dessous and poker flat man phonique turns his hand to the title track with a cheeky, energetic remix. aimed at the floor we find a more uptempo groove at the heart of his mesmerising tech-house re-work. the soft bell tones floating throughout >tangent< are perfectly melancholic, while tough driving beats urge us forward, making the perfect partnership bewteen cinematic sound design and bass-heavy floor dynamics.

hot off the heals of their debut >we hunt buffalo now<, the soft rocks gang dishes out >magic milk<, and utterly sleazy weekend dancefloor monster serving as the second single in the series surrounding their imminent debut album, >the curse of soft rocks<. guest vocals are once again provided by san francisco post-punk hero jorge socarras (vocalist of indoor life and songwriter for patrick cowley). remix duties on side-b are provided this time by washington dcs rising stars the beautiful swimmers. their mid-tempo coconut dub takes the percussive nuances that are deep in the original and made them centerpiece, surrounding it all with loose house instrumentation that oddly achieves a tropical vibe.

east meets west on culprits seventeenth ep release, as three emerging producers from russia make their debut on the los angeles based label as special case. as culprit enters the next phase in its lifecycle, young producers are submitting music that is inspired by the culprit catalogue. championing fresh acts, as evidenced on the above the city compilation, is becoming a key aspect of the culprit ethos.
heralding from st petersburg and moscow, special case is part of a rising wave of eastern european artists, a region that holds tremendous importance for culprit s ukrainian born andrei osyka. having established reputations as individual djs in their native soil, the trio came together as special case specifically to create a release for culprit, and with the belief that the whole would be greater than the sum of their parts. aurum is dancefloor gold and proves they were right to do so.

in its original form, holy ghost!s debut album cut >hold my breath< is, pure and simple, great dancefloor electronic pop, in the hands of shadowy duo tiger & woods, the song has been totally reshaped and refracted through 80s r&b radio. they have slowed the pace and inserted synth-funk hot flashes that recall prince – and, no kidding, the time, and jimmy jam & terry lewis – to create a mood that fits comfortably (and pleasurably) within their future boogie m.o. cosmic kids ron poznansky and dan terndrup have taken the track in a more tensely dramatic direction. it might be the vaguely darkened synthline upon which much of that track sits that lends itself to its more intense feel here, and gives it such a pleasant nocturnal feel. finally, theres falty dls re-envisioning, which goes down awfully smooth for a track so full of the big, thick, bumping bass beats. it’s an aural pleasure to find yourself dreamily lost in the brooklyn, new york producer/djs halls of reverberating sound.

bit of a special release we have here with a new collaborative project from belgian duo fcl joining the omnipresent danilo of motor city drum ensemble for some seriously raw, stripped back and undiluted house music. most people will know san soda and red ds fcl project following the brilliant lets go seven release on their we play house label last year as well as their remix of proof for trunkfunk. mcde has become one of the biggest and most revered names in house in recent years having produced the amazing raw cuts series as well as compiling the dj kicks lp which spawned the mcde single l.o.v.e.

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.

leading deep house connoisseurs and creators of hold youth records seuil and le loup, gear up to unveil their labels debut ep >classics< – an excursion into blue-eyed soul and hip-hop infused grooves. retaining an element of mystery and authenticity, hold youth will be a vinyl only label, keeping it strictly underground. an outlet for seuil and le loups own productions, the label will feed on their musical inspirations, and nurture homegrown talent while exploring a range of sounds and styles, from hip-hop and soul through to house and techno. hold youth is also the name of the dj duo and their residency at social club in paris. >classics 001< is a split ep with two offerings from hold youth on the a-side. the first track >nautil us< is a rework, which modernises the 1974 >nautilus< by bob james while >paname< focuses on the solid underground house style with that all-important french touch and a sprinkling of nyc. on the b-side, seuil delves into funkadelic, hip-hop influenced waters with >khemestry<, which pays homage to trankilou and j. dillas deep side. le loup rounds off the ep with a track rooted in cuban salsa, but with brawny beats and a modern hip-hop twist.

lower east launched in the summer of 2010. it was the result of a coming together of 3 likeminded friends: cozzy d, lee brinx and ed kane (kanio/dexter kane). all established members of the london scene in their own right, they combined forces to create a label with one simple ethos: quality electronic music. whilst the idea itself is unified, the influences are vast. disco, techno, garage, hip-hop, drum and bass, jazz, 80 s and soul all inspire lower easts subtle blend of 4/4 beats. notable artists on lower east include: lee foss, gavin herlihy, robert james, uner, nima gorji, pezzner, richie ahmed, puente and rosche, waifs and strays, and death on the balcony.

label chief stephan bodzin is happy to welcome to the herzblut family max cooper and his latest release >miocene<. max is a producer, whose previous work resident advisor compared to that of philip glass and aphex twin and all this due to his meticulous tracks design and wild creativity. in addition, the vinyl comes with a super flu remix of the title track - miocene. the german duo shows off their enviable ability to push each individual sound to its maximum. an ep that is a must to your vinyl collection.

the history clock is most certainly alive and ticking with this incredible release from argentinian duo, djs pareja. you may be familiar with some early tracks that they have done for matias aguayos peerless comeme label (their excellent ghetto rhythms, kenia and tribal scream), and this is a perfect follow-up. >psycho rhythm<, the appropriately-titled lead track is a brilliant, mid-tempo, mildly-disturbed outsider house / ebm-shocker, coupled with the absolutely perfect roska / uk funky-esque, tropical rhythm of >pampa room<. a track that joins the dots between the bumbumbox parties of buenos aires, the boiler room nights in london and the boxes of the more forward-thinking djs on rinse fm. balearic music fans will immediately fall in love with >spanish is beautiful< - in both original and alejandro paz (comeme / huntleys & palmers) remix formats.

after years, this vinyl-wielding 4-piece originating from brighton — the one and only soft rocks — have finally committed their collective wit to a slew of original tunes. >we hunt buffalo now< is a punky dub monster serving as the first single in a series surrounding their = imminent debut album, >the curse of soft rocks<. in an age where any laptop-savvy poseur can upload their bland nu-disco or faux-chi-house directly to the cesspool of digitally downloadable fodder, it is more than refreshing to hear this cheeky bunch blending a mixed bag of instrumentation and obscure influences so recklessly. guest vocals are provided by san francisco post-punk hero jorge socarras (vocalist of indoor life and songwriter for patrick cowley). in case that wasnt enough, flip her over for the genius remix by andrew weatherall, a bonafide glam stomper that slaps you across the face with a fuzzy bassline and greaseball guitar chords. pure class.

zzt continue their reign of underground club domination with their most overt anthem yet. this is the lead single off zzts debut album, partys over earth!

excellent deep house album. andy vaz s straight vacationing, his first full-length artist album, since the 2006 release of repetitive moments last forever…, registers as less a straight-up collection of dance-floor burners and more of a variety pack that mixes club tracks and full-fledged house songs. listeners hungry for just ordinary 4/4 throw-downs will not entirely get their share of those, but they ll also get a whole lot more on this dynamic and well-rounded set of eight album tracks and that is exploring house music not just as a simple one way street, but give you a very personal view of the music we call house.

connan mockasins willingness to toy with the edges of musical convention is showcased to startling effect in >faking jazz together<, its typically opaque title belying a gorgeous, leisurely amble through an enchanted forest of lush psychedelia, complete with dreamy guitar licks, liquefied salsa rhythms and mockasins trademark alien vocals, sounding like a transmission from another cosmos, ghostly yet strangely affecting all at once. tom furse from the horrors, meanwhile, extrapolates the beats from the original and relocates them in a wide-eyed, sprawling dub epic akin to screamadelica-era primal scream, and renowned german producer (and kompakt lynchpin) michael mayer builds a propulsive, tropical-flavoured anthem around mockasins unusual vocals, with delightfully unpredictable results. even better, you can see connan mockasin in glorious live action this autumn, when he and his band embark on their own headline tour of the uk, playing dates across the country at the end of september. having already toured with warpaint in the summer, as well as scoring the first short film from acclaimed video director kinga burza, and collaborating with the idiosyncratic likes of charlotte gainsbourg and sam eastgate of late of the pier, it is certain that the eccentric pleasures of connan mockasin arent going to stay a cult secret for too much longer.

after their superb release last year with >dinosaurs<, that came backed with two heavy paul woolford mixes, south german stars alex flatner & lopazz return to poker flat with three new essential cuts. >this< may sound like a curious title, yet the addictive low-slung, electronic funk within will have you chanting >i just wanna love you baby…< in no time! smooth, slinky production comes hand in hand with producers as experienced as this pair! the mysterious future-disco-funk magic of >hapbee< keeps the party stomping as a whole host of vintage gear flavours this cosmic beatdown. rolling and driving forward with relaxed, summery intent it is a seriously positive tune for those smiling, warm feeling moments. >its< offers a similarly challenging title but musically there is no messing around, with a shaking, simmering slice of modern funk characterised by tonal synth play, percussive splashes and echoed vocal madness - all dripping with funk!

today, the pit lane is decorated with red carpet and golden leaf for two exceptional talents: from the black forest patrick chardronnet for the gui boratto (bra)-team, and from the westerwald dominik eulberg (ger) for the extrawelt-team. both drivers are concentrated. they are wearing shimmering overalls and golden helmets. they get into their softly purring apparillos. two pairs of gloves at the steering wheel. the heat is flimmering over the hot asphalt. during the race, the gui boratto / patrick chardronnet-team focuses on deep bass lines and a constant improvement in performance with a slightly shifted ideal line, and only one pit stop. in three words: mighty, majestic, thunderous! team-extrawelt acts a bit more flexible. dominik eulberg either puts on the handbrake or drives at full speed. he is fast, he is flexible, and his elegant turns make the audience go wild. but in the end, both sportsmen share the champagne, and the after-show party will go down in the history of the tunig series. ready, steady, go!

we love and release on vinyl !

following up the scorching debut release another night, deep&disco recordings sidesteps the sophomore slump with elisco, an infectious electro-funk groover that both cements the labels commitment to quality and expands their musical range.
a chunky nu-disco track with hints of metro area and a catchy vocal hook, the seeds of elisco were planted in the early 2000s when label founder jkriv and lou teti were sharing a loft space in williamsburg, brooklyn. after an afternoon of cowbells and synths, the skeleton of the track had its shape, and their other roomates girlfriend was enlisted to sing the hook. she had no singing experience (or rhythmic sense) to speak of, but somehow it all worked and elisco was born! although its always been a personal favorite of the producer duo, the song remained shelved for almost 7 years until they dusted it off in early 2011 and readied it for release on the newly minted deep&disco recordings.
providing remixes for the vinyl release are the legendary leftside wobble, who turns in an extended and bpm-d-up version quite true to the original, taking the machine vibes to the next level with added loops and fx. brightons alphabet city brings the disco-boogie sensibility to the package with a deep mix that features jkriv on live bass, and whiskey disco regular sleazy mcqueen rounds it out with an indie dance stomper.

jax is a collective of like-minded artists, musicians, thinkers movers and booty-shakers, who believe there is more to records than just some grooves engraved into black plastic. their vision is to treat each release as a presentation in itself, complete with original and individual artwork, features and an exhibition. each production will feature artwork shown in a cube of about 8 cubic meters. every record-released will be strictly-limited to 500 copies, which includes a poster referencing the piece made by the artist! daniel roth was born in seeheim near frankfurt. he started to experiment with different styles of electronical music using an akai mpc and a juno 106 in 1997. by this time he wasnt thinking of making music his profession. he then started his studies in skulpturing at the städel in frankfurt. after having finished art school he took up producing music again, influenced by his art and contemporary dance music styles. with his jax release he showcases his ability to combine different elements with his unique touch.

we are more than happy to present the second part of the remixes of kollektiv turmstrasses rebellion der träumer album. the first part with interpretations by jimpster and robag wruhme already created a big buzz and we hope to continue like this with the uneins remixes by our scandinavian connaisseur darlings of norway and living legend aril brikha. the a-side of part 2 features a version of uneins by our oslo based homies and connaisseur protégés of norway. they take the original parts and blend them according to their own voodoo-tech vision. the result is both catchy and extremely danceable. the b-side offers one of the rare remixes by swedish techno soul wizard aril brikha who delivers an epic monster. is is techno? is it house? is it deep house? it is everything and nothing. but one thing we know its simply timeless! expect more remixes in 2012

october and john osborn are proud to present the inaugural 12inch on their newly minted bristol and berlin based house & techno label: tanstaafl records. tanstaafl is an acronym for there aint no such thing as a free lunch. we kick things off with john osborns debut release, epoch 4 backed with a darker, reduced, dub-influenced version. john based in berlin worked with october in his bristol based studio to create and produce some wonderful, raw, dirty analogue house music. both tracks were meticulously produced by herr osborn and recorded and engineered by october. laurie appleblims joined the studio session and he dove straight into the juno 60 and played the melody that finnishes the track off. tough floor business for your feet and mind, tried and tested around the world. a great start for this promising label.
