adventures in deep space is a reflection of the wonder and complexity of recognizing that we as humans are creatures with a limited capacity stranded on a planet somewhere in the universe searching for meaning and purpose while also recognizing that what we do every moment can shape the outcome of our future on earth and might ultimately become small and meaningful stitching s that could shape the fabric of our future in space.

over 10.000 years ago, after the last ice age, humans began to explore and settle the place now known as scotland. evidence of our ancestors can be found in the various rock carvings, standing stones, tombs and dwellings still scattered throughout the lands today. modern archaeological techniques can offer ever more detailed suggestions as to what these monuments might have meant, but it is still largely left to our imaginations to discern just what these spaces were used for.

repress 2015 ... machines do speak a language understood and appreciated by humans. measured by the success of skudge, an artistic duo that has delivered a lot in a very short time. combining their inspiration and talent through wires and analogue equipment, they seem to always present something new - in a very faithful style. what remains most significant on their output through the main label skudge records, as well as their remix material present on a row of different labels, it must be their exceptional sense of loops and unexpected detail in their productions.

home records is founded by marcus henriksson aka minilogue, nobody home, son kite releaseinfo: since the beginning of time we humans have been using different methods of inducing altered, heightened or trance-like states. like the native humans used rituals, drumming, dancing and chanting to get into an trance-like state. trances and altered states follow the pattern of a journey: departure, traveling through (inner worlds and dimensions) space, and then returning home. in the classic shamanic journey traditions, rhythmic drumming, rattling or chanting is used to facilitate the entering into, traveling through and returning from the spirit world

some believe music developed as a way to bring early humans together into a close-knit community, and this collection of songs is a perfect example of that theory at work. beautiful vocals from lindsey flowers, an oklahoman ospovat met tokyo. killer sax blown in portland, oregon by noah bernstein, an exceptionally talented friend of ospovat s brother. a driving remix by pablo bolivar in barcelona, without whose generous advice this project would still be a work in progress. a mesmerizing remix by canadian label partner, fellow deadhead, and sound manipulator extraordinaire craig oldring (c_olvrin). and the words of david moufang, who speaks with conviction in *movin to the d* – *…music has a lot to do with communication … working with other people is really essential.* we couldnt agree more.

from deep to jackin explains it best. brad p, slowburn and gene hunt share this outstanding vinyl-only and limited house record. >bonanza< is the 4th release in the gih story, and refers to a time of prosperity and wealth that has come for mankind. thanks to human cloning which resulted in an almost endless economic productivity boom, humans are experiencing a time of extreme welfare and progress, weighted on the shoulders of their own clones….. enjoy peace and luxury, while it lasts…

hailing from bari, nico lahs has become a beloved member of the stock5 family. on the latest instalment of the label that guy blesses us with his runway ep. but don’t mix up the title with some anorexic chicks that stumble along the catwalk heidi klum sent ‘em on. if there is one direction, it would lead straight into a planetary orbit. the opener “shreder” sets the pace and mood, a decent composition of pulsating synths, a vibrating bass line and a whispering voice, telling us to fasten our seatbelt because our next stop is going to be “orion”. actually this is in one of the biggest astral objects having been discovered yet. nico takes us there on his spaced out trip, while we are watching stars being born and dying in super novas. on the flip we’re finally approaching “runway” the title track. dive into a world that is undiscovered, promising and overwhelming. all in all this ep is way more than “mystic”, which is the last track. we left our planet as humans and we landed as androids in stock5 galaxy, which is ever expanding, crossing boundaries and creating new life on the universal dance floor.

visibility is a trap is the new ep by dalhous, comprised of four originals together with a masterfully understated regis remix of *he was human and belonged with humans*. the ep heralds the arrival of the edinburgh-based projects sophomore album, will to be well, due out on blackest ever black in early summer 2014.

bolder is martin maischein who used to record as henrich at hart on position chrome and peter votava also known as pure who has recorded previously for mego and was half of ilsa gold. with their combined background in electronic music of all angles bolder introduces a significant proposition to the current experimental electronic boom. blurring the lines between industrial, techno, dub, ambient and narrative forms, the work on bolders debut presents a dance amongst the abyss, a world where organic rhythms provide the path amongst a swarm of foreboding electronics. herein lurks an atmosphere where hostile electronics weigh the hope and paranoia of todays climate. one humans listen is another humans challenge.

the name sabota comes from the infamous area in nelson bc, where kids congregate late at night to smoke weed, hook up and watch the sun come up. both max ulis and robbie slade (of humans) both have (if somewhat indirect) roots in the area, making it a fitting concept for their collaboration. with the release of next time on discobelle, sabota immediately caught the attention of journalists and fans alike, and before any kind of formal release they have played sxsw, sled island in calgary, vancouver international jazz festival with nosaj thing, and symbiosis gathering. the two full-time music collaborators have been making ethereal goodness.

it was a very successful year for gilesku records and therefore it is only fair to top it off with yet another wonderful gem.

shades rises from the minds of korova. the aim is at drawing new nuances in the immaginary spectrum of techno, to get the hearing closer to the sound of those hidden mechanical shadows. shades lives on dark visions and primitive rhythms, but nevertheless trusts in a future controlled by a lightning plot between humans and technologies.

in little over a 2 month campaign valentina has been so very received by radio with online press and print press too. she has crept into a couple of radio shows thus far with wolves being dropped on the phil & alice (radio 1) show already her online presence has grown from strength to strength since we launched an exclusive stream with gorilla vs bear. since that launch we have had such amazing feedback not only in the uk but europe and the row.

humans are an abstraction of animal life form – and this is their soundtrack. on the first release monomood shows some light. but the light is pulsating in stroboscopic rhythms and enlightens shadows of moving creatures locked into a murky basement. if this is too disturbing for you, the well known grounded theory mastermind henning baer slows down the frequency to turn the raging floor into a dark moving mass hypnosis. after that you can recognize some dark scientists are brewing a fascinating cocktail out of boiling bass anddistorted sounds capes. drink it and you will know!

all us here down on bird scarer farm have been fans of the work of mr. craig bratley for some time, so it is with pleasure unbound that i announce the release of bird scarer 4.manufactured in a town just outside leeds and tested on humans for the first time in a tent just outside skipton. ladies and gentlemen... boys and girls. obsession by craig bratley. a sleazy new-beat erotic monster of a tune channeling mr. delgado and mr. gorl (thats d.a.f. to the un-initiated) in the original version and slo-mod even more with added live bass (andy baxter) and guitar (courtesy of ex sons of slough member mr. duncan gray) via the asphodells mix.

a new set by the coolest chap in new york city documenting the before-and-after development of a solo electric guitar piece that alan licht has been playing out for last four years. revered for his work in the blue humans and text of light, and a key figure in his generations pantheon of experimental solo guitar players (such as jim o rourke and oren ambarchi), four years older is his debut editions mego release, representing another peak in a career of mining the rich seams of minimalism, noise and avant-garde in general that stretches back more than two decades.

the inspiration for this ep came from a trip the two producers took to zug island- a polluted toxic metal factory isle on the detroit river between detroit and windsor, canada. the sounds within this record are intended to sonically personify the environment of zug island and the harmful impact it currently has on the river, wild life,and humans residing there!

menacing industrial techno from some backwoods laboratory in a hostile environment. part 2 is slightly more accessible for humans and more experimental than the first part. limited to 200 as usual, handstamped. they sell like frankfurters at a german brothel, so best not sleep. you have a bout a week before the curtain closes.

unusually for a record (for me,at least), constants collects tracks written in four very different moments in time: some are recent - so recent ive only had the opportunity to play them out just a handful of times - while others are over one year old. i really wish the story behind this ep would be a bit more interesting so this text could completely blow your mind but im afraid there were no dragons, no sex, no drugs and definitely no rock n roll involved. all four were mostly produced by me while sipping coffee and wearing boxer shorts in front of a computer. i could somehow try to describe the music on here but it would probably take less for you to give it a listen. however, if you happen to be one of the humans that prefer reading about music. anyway, im really happy to see these finally out, especially on a label i have always looked up to like vakant. i really used to think smoke, kaden and ozer were aliens at some hopefully you will enjoy this music as much as i loved writing and playing it out.

we have decided to publish these tracks as our first release because they took inspiration from the two words label name: eleusína and recreations. thinking about that ancient mysteries and hoping they could survive till nowadays and in the future as a aid of our poor life helped us a lot in composing these tracks.
the two track ep was compost almost interely by machines with a little computer aid. cause we are only humans and conditioned by our fears and weaknesses, we have decided to make them almost mono tracks to maximize the transfer achievement to vinyl. have we took the wrong way? we do not know, but we keep some time to reflect about that and find the best balance between stereo and mono that fits our soul.
here we are, is not time for words right now, let the sounds speak.

the dust collision of swiss voodoo priestess kate waxs recently unveiled album takes its titular inspiration from switzerlands world-leading large hadron collider, where sub-atomic particles are accelerated into one another, and the subsequent fallout observed for our universal scientific advancement. the first single to be lifted from said album – title track dust collision – is a cornerstone of self-producing autocrat kate waxs personal album philosophy, where humans find new lovers through passing encounters in the night, like particles colliding in the lhc – momentary, exhilarating, predatory, intimate and ecstatic.

meine zarten pfoten ( my tender paws ) is the eagerly-awaited album by lady ada that everybody s been longing to get a hold of for so long. her second album after debut blondie truly is a revelation. ada has successfully cast off that four-to-the-floor yoke and has recorded songs that go way beyond all our well-known categories, hovering above everything in a state of serene disengagement. it s certainly ppp in its broadest sense, but ultimately it s a work of music that radiates such an amazing warmth and tranquility that it will even sedate the biggest nervous wreck into a state of subtle receptiveness. this record is your friend. it s a shining light of beauty, glowing from the inside. humans have feelings. and it s only the noblest of feelings that these nine songs arouse. after listening to them you’re left with a slightly sheepish smile on your face. and then you press play again

danish producer martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on techno and house. his very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. with his debut record on cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. the mzuzu ep is all about bass. the bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. while the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. the basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in ones mothers womb. it arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. martinez reorganises the structure of house music: the lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. the tracks rarely need anything else. the icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. >mzuzu chant< & >adagio< are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space

for remote areas 28th release we welcome back production duo makcim & managemend. moscow born makcim has been djing since 1999 and is known for producing and playing deep, rhythmic, sexy, music. his music partner in crime - managemend (aka roel van otterdijk) is always on the hunt for brilliant loops of chunky, deep, soulful, minimalistic sounds but firmly believes that humans -not computers- give music the magic touch. they are back again with two quality tunes for the dancefloor. fur cage presents the deeper, funkier side of techhouse life with its rich, dark chocolate vocal snippets melted across a belching bass. fraggle stick car û high hats peak on top of warm percussive expressions to create a rolling dance rhythm packed with warped sounds and distorted snippets

restoration records highly awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up this hard times. captain power and the soldiers of the future will lead the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom. humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.
third side is the new operative group of restoration, formed by marieu, lucretio and by resident dj of panorama bar steffi (klakson/ostgut ton). >ready to dance< is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but minimalistic at the same time. very essential in its build-up, its bass line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. we are ready to dance, its time to jack!
analogue cops >chamber< is a strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. rushing percussions, piercy hi-hats, a breathless progression. an experiment which turns into a solid club tack.
on side b, >still me< represents lucretios vocation to neoclassicism. the time disappears and a gospel organ full of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on planet earth. dramatic and sweet, its evocative and hopeful. lucretios track on rst006 appears on tama sumos >panorama bar – mix cd<.
>mauzy< is marieus deepest track on restoration. beat-down smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp cymbals, a praising voice. a track for a spiritual elevation, a track to dance until the last second. a track to listen to a million of times.

beyond the realms of space and time lies a force majeure that emanates pure energy, sustaining all cosmic life forms.

nys underground celebrity, electronic obscurity and rare disco specialist william burnett (aka grackle, aka speculator) delivers an ep that truly defies any categorization and therefore will have a harder time to find its way into the stores usually packed with easily digestible pre-masticated dancefloor stew that comes with filing recommandations. the music on this record evokes images of mad peyote sessions held amidst dry and sandy landscapes. the original desert acid sounds like a jam machines and instruments would do when left on their own, unsupervised by humans. a wobbly and acidey synthline goes on a psychedelic journey with fuzzy guitar riffs, backed by a stompy almost tribal discobeat. düsseldorfs currently most interesting band musiccargo rework the piece into a cinematic krautdisco gem that floats on a loopy vibraphone drone, sprinkled with german and english lyrics. sombrero galaxy (aka cbs/intergalactic fm regular dj tako reyenga and his mysterious uk buddy jonny nash) take the track into cosmic realms (rare occasion where the term really fits) and their version could easily be interpreted as a vangelis tribute. the last track on the ep we are it is a slow 808 jam with druggy and spaced out fuzzy vocals, paired with equally druggy and fuzzy guitars. if you are a filmmaker and you need a song for a weird desert scene youd be an idiot not to consider this one the perfect choice.

before you dive in the regular sales fodder i would like you to ask yourself this question: what if humans arent the only living creatures who can create & enjoy art...? well, meet a true & genuine artist at heart and take a minute for michaels story. totally moved and inspired by the life & work of michael, the silverback gorilla who talked sign language who unfortunately passed away in 2000 after a fatal heart failure, ronny & renzo produced this incredible song me, myself, good after the same titled painting by the hand of the late and great michael... may he rest in peace. ronny & renzo their original version is a 9 minute+ moving epic that not only looks back in sadness at the pain & horror michaels life started with when poachers killed his mother in front of his eyes. it equally celebrates the love & comfort, the guidance & protection he enjoyed while he and koko were adopted and lovingly raised by dr. penny patterson and dr. ron cohn. because of the serious and delicate nature of this tribute release we couldnt think of anyone more appropriate than dance exotica pioneers quiet village to perform the remix. these two extraordinary gentlemen lead you by the hand into the heart of darkness, to a meditative place somewhere deep in the jungle only they know of... after more than a year of silence, a new king kung foo release sees the light of day throwing the label right back in the leftfield disco game. these amazing recordings will not only have their impact on an ecstatic dancefloor but will also be the ideal soundtrack to a lazy sunday. enjoy! pressed on a limited quantity of 1000 copies and no chance for a repress, this desirable twelve inch with powerful cover art will be sold out in no time. but the most important thing here is that koko needs your help! so for each copy sold a part of your money goes to the gorilla foundation.

after releasing his first lp on ai records in 2008 we proudly welcome datassette on echoecho. let s just say that this is the outcome of an interference of majestic strings, amazing basslines and deeply compounded beats. besides rocking the dancefloor mr davies definitely knows how to draw attention with his craft.these thrilling compositions reach from the hymnic ôthe aviatrixö to the laidback and atmospheric ômicroö and back to the superior and bassheavy ôhumansö before ending with the melancholic piece of ôweather conditionsö. datassette conveys a large variety of influences which create his absolutely outstanding deep sound. in other words he manages to merge the atmosphere of then and the vision of now to transfer the sound onto his own bright level.

transmitting from the heart of the american midwest, skoozbot has rapidly gained a reputation for insightful techno futurism. his main preoccupation focuses on the interaction between humans and technology, especially the ability to capture split second emotions, recreate them using electronic sounds and then play them out over a six minute track, letting them evolve naturally albeit in sometimes unexpected directions. the rising sap contains a selection of tracks written during the transition from winter to spring as life returns to the surface of the planet bringing with it the most vibrant sensory experiences. in a sense these colours, fragrances and forms allow us to transcend time through memories and association and skoozbot is driven to capture these precious fragments and examine them from all angles in the suspended animation that the minimal techno environment so perfectly creates.

thom yorke is the pen, voice and soul of the rock group radiohead he has just released a solo album the eraser and that is where this story begins. abandoning his guitar get-along gang for the cold warmth of his computer and underhyping an album that should be plastering the walls and buses of your local city, the anxiety ridden and morose yorke cuts to the core of the dark state of humanity, unapologetically commenting on the zombies that were once humans. on this extremely limited 12,the album title track the eraser( already big with timmy regisford ) gets remixed in a distorted detroit style by slow to speak, following up on the recent bjork, u2 & arc gospel choir reworkings. on the flip is various acapellas of thom speaking on the current state of society and commerce and the radiohead song climbing up the walls, which in some strange dysfunctional way is married lyrically to the eraser. comes in a hand made silk screened jacket
