mika visited the moog sound-lab in april 2015. he made one his last known solo studio recordings in the form of two vinyl sized side long pieces. entitled “lydspor” - danish for ‘soundtrack’. mika worked almost exclusively with the lab’s moog modular system 55.
this uk sound -lab instrument is the sole protoype model (containing several golden filters) of moog’s recent sold out reverse-engineered edition (55 units only) recreating the 1970’s classic.
on completion of his sessions mika announced ‘i could work with this machine for the rest of my life….i would need nothing else”.
a second moog session was planned but tragically mika died in an accident in april 2017, shortly after he had approved the vinyl mastering.

10 years after his last lp on vinyl, the legendary funkmaster ozone, one of the kings of the underground funk movement is back with an explosive new lp! as always on his records, there is a p-funk side and an e-funk side. there are all the elements that have characterized its unmistakable sound since the beginning of the funkmaster ozone era! power analog synthesizers, talkbox, vocoder, dmx, 808 and his absolutely amazing funk touch. the lp includes a featuring with the wonderful voice of jamie davis & the touch of h.m.klotz in the song -freaky friday-, an incredible master piece which seems to have come directly from the 80s! and also a great collaboration with another superb artist like eddy funkster on -integrity-. the lp, is a full trip into the universe of funkmaster ozone, a must have reléase!

a true holy grail from the cloud one catalog, dont let my rainbow pass me by is the third of a string of titles on golden flamingo produced by the p&p duo of patrick adams and peter brown and featuring vocals from guardian angel singer margot williams. similar to previous cloud ones productions, this record had all the elements of a patrick adams classic, but with vocal arrangements that foreshadowed the work he would do with inner life and jocelyn brown at salsoul. perhaps not so much of a concidence then that margot williams would provide backing vocals on inner lifes second and final album. even though it was originally released in 1981, dont let my rainbow pass me by is still championed by high-profile deejays today. over the years, its been notably sampled in basement jaxxs romeo and covered by todd terje and prins thomas in reinbagan as a dub-disco cut. available for the first time since its original release, our only piece of advise is to don’t let this classic pass you by.

‘utopia’ is the ninth studio album from the iconic artist björk, out november 24th via one little indian records. the album s artwork was created in collaboration of m/m, jesse kanda and james merry and reflects the records sonic direction, optimism, lightness, utopia. of the album she explained to dazed this summer that, ““maybe that’s why it became a utopian theme – if we’re gonna survive not only my personal drama but also the sort of situation the world is in today, we’ve got to come up with a new plan, if we don’t have the dream, we’re just not gonna change. especially now, this kind of dream is an emergency.” björk wrote, produced and recorded the album between reykjavik and new york, working closely with arca and writing for, conducting and recruiting a thirteen piece flute orchestra which will be on the road with her next year.

figure 86 finds the label’s headmaster revisiting a dormant classic from 2005, delivering two extended excursions that pick up on the lunatic vibe instilled by the original while each mix provides for a uniquely new experience. sitting on the record’s a-side is the hardspace mix, a sparse and bone dry rhythmic affair, built around the originals characteristic cut-up vocal sample. a hammering thump carries along the track relentlessly, the air of oppression created only amplified by a heavy assault of clangig claps. the digital bundle comes with an even more stripped-back hardspace tool version, making it an excellent surprise to throw in and out of mixes. on the flip faki takes opportunity to show us one of his lesser known sides, taking time to gently develop this deepspace mix into a meandering meditative journey. trading in the vocal for a spaced-out synth opens the track up for the shifting tribal drums to truly work their magic and makes this piece of music feel equally mysterious as it sways with cosmic energy.

under the moniker shed, pawlowitz published three highly ambitious albums in which he defined his work more and more as his own way of musical narration. the final experiment? is definitely the temporary highlight of this evolution. as musical work it does establish shed conclusively as one of the most interesting and substantial electronic music artists of our time. it carries a vibe, that links shed to other boundary breaking artists such as ryuichi nakamoto, brian eno and carsten nicolai. however, shed found a way to develop a highly individual way of communicating electronic music, that is self-sufficient. the last experiment is a mostly homogeneous piece of work, a meditation, where the stylistic confusion seems less important than then musical statement that it represents.

blackwater is honoured and proud to present a very special release, in our production catalogue number as “bwl000”, released on vinyl in a very limited edition. a single side ep screen-printed on the non engraved side with a suggestive image of the sea of “capalbio”, a town intimately connected with the rise of blackwater society. the ep will be initially presented at the 2016 edition of the flussi festival where blackwater began its music journey two years ago starting right from -capalbio- and starting musically from that first piece “il mare di capalbio” produced by -devianza- owner of the label, who made this as homage for flussi. “il mare di capalbio” finally will see the light, being pressed on vinyl support exactly in the same month, in the same festival together with the same...

over the course of four albums, manchester based trumpeter, composer, arranger and band-leader matthew halsall has carved out a niche for himself on the uk music scene as one of it s brightest talents. his languid, soulful music has won friends from jamie cullum and gilles peterson to jazz fm and mojo as well as an ever-growing international following. his label gondwana records is home to gogo penguin and his own albums have found halsall exploring the modal jazz of john and alice coltrane, paying tribute to the hard bop of the late ’50s and early ’60s or most recently on fletcher moss park drawing on eastern influences in his most personal statement yet. his latest album when the world was one is something of a companion piece to fletcher moss park (much of the music was written at the same time) but draws more explicitly on halsall’s love of spiritual jazz and eastern music as well as his own studies in meditation and travels in japan. beautifully recorded at hasall’s favourite studio, 80 hertz in manchester, and engineered by brendan williams and george atkins it features the recording debut of halsall’s large ensemble, the gondwana orchestra, which utilises the exotic flavours of harp, koto and bansuri flute and eastern scales to create a global palate for halsall’s life-affirming sounds.

elliot sindall and oswaldo nicoletti are jäfar, a duo split between paris and london. their first record on fragil musique may be single sided, as so often with the label, but quality is not at stake. marzsia is an amazingly well produced dance trip. the broken drum line is playing around the loop, slightly messing with the heavy feet taping feel. meanwhile, the vocal and instrumental samples subtly come in and out, giving a depth and spirituality to the piece. the record comes with an engravement artwork on its b side and a debut collaboration with louise ernandez photographies for the cover artwork

2000 and one strikes again with his cutting edge signature style presenting kawasaki ep, paying homage to the struggle for power within the samurai clans (1051-1063) in japan, known as the battle of kawasaki. title track kawasaki , is a peak time techno tune to slice the dance floor into pieces. the yet smoother solid groove of organic has an authentic detroit techno sound apt to building a set.

same procedure, different music! again the imprint’s limited serie steps up with a one-sided vinyl. limitation to 50 transparent vinyls only! this time the music is contributed by no other than snuffo, one half of the infamous snuff crew. well known through releases on labels like bpitch control, rush hour or their very own imprint snuff trax the boys are no stranger to the scene. „one of those nights“ is a good example for snuffo’s versatile musical approach as he delivers a pretty technoid piece of music. the track is all about the hypnotic vocal-sample that makes you wanna go mad. paired with a heavy-ass baseline this track is exactly what you need to have one of those nights.

one breath is a bold and confident record that begins an exciting new chapter in this uniquely talented artists career. produced by john congleton in blackbox studios, france and mixed in dallas, texas, usa, one breath was written in a year and recorded over a few intense weeks. one breath is a more personal record than its mercury and brit nominated predecessor. reflective and vulnerable, it strikes a balance between optimism and despair, beauty and ugliness. the fiery elements of annas debut remain, but one breath is more instinctive and urgent, revealing a wider spectrum of textures and emotion

*i said emotional content, not anger bitch!*

thomas fehlmann is integral to kompakt and the labels history. his solo releases and collaborative work with alex patterson as the orb have been some of the kompakts most revered and cherished tunes. following the success of his 2010 full length gute luft (a collection of re-edited versions from his score to the hit documentary 24hr berlin), we start 2011 off with titan one / dfm. on october 16, 2010 thomas fehlmann performed in montreal, canada at the historic molson coors brewery building together with members of the montreal symphony orchestra (osm). together they sought to recreate a version of gustav mahlers classic symphony no. 1 (titan). kompakt is proud to now offer a new recording inspired by that epic concert of symphonic and electronic with a new recording inspired from that performance – renamed as titan one. the hum of cellos and strings conjoin fehlmanns electronics – held together by the sublime, unobtrusive thump of a bass drum. titan one flows with a beauty and edacity that is rarely heard in both classical and electronic music form. the b-side features a new recording inspired from the second piece of the performance - a new version of thomas fehlmanns du fehlst mir from his 2006 kompakt full length visions of blah. reanimated as dfm, the piece again conjoins the different musical worlds in a way we have never heard to such a high standard. a much more upbeat affair than to titan one (of course) bass and keyboards mingle with the symphony the playfulness of the original song rolls throughout dfm. whether as palais schaumberg, the orb, or 3mb (to name only a few alias). fehlmann may have 3 decades of professional recordings under his belt but he continues to prove to the world as being one of the most fascinating and creatively open musicians in his field. this release clearly proves his story is far from over.

if we ever called it a classic…this is what we meant . after releasing one of the best artist album of the last years on carl craigs planet e label, kenny larkin joins now forces with one of the most influential artists of the recent times shlomi aber, and his acclaimed label be as one imprint. shlomi aber and legendary detroit pioneer kenny larkin are two artists that needs no introduction to the techno crowds. while the first one is recognized as one of the most forward thinking artists of the recent years, the other one is responsible for releasing some of the finest pieces of electronic music ever produced. sketches ep comes with 2 different versions of the same track, both having old school vibes reminiscent of the days when house and techno went hands in hands. kennys version is a superbly produced slice of techno, with an amazing drums progression in a typical larkin style sustaining a hypnotic lead pattern, all conjuring together to take the dancefloor into a 10 minutes long, deep and mind tripping tour. label boss shlomi aber, takes a different approach by putting out a tougher version, a loopy phat bassline and a jazzy rhythm with snare hits makes this tune a funkier techno shuffle a pure classic to come, already supported by basically everyone, from the detroit old school guys to the recent house and techno leaders

these hand-picked tracks are now available on a dj-friendly 2-sided-4-tracks-vinyl-ep and let me tell you, they are well worth the extra investment. the first of the bunch starts off with big man lexys fancy girl, an ever-growing minimal techy peak-time-pusher with a hushed vocal-sample, some anaologue signal sounds and a futuristic and pumping beat. add a great distorted melody to this on the breakdown and the dancefloor will thank you for putting this on: they will go mental! after this introduction, its the newcomers mickey monzza & joseph discos turn with their equally stimulating track lonely. this is a great modern piece of pumping dub techno with a straight-forward attitude. the hi-hats on this tune are mesmerezing, the clappy snares and sirens perfectly placed and the subtle dubby and groovy melody an ideal antithesis to this hectically moving tune. simply nice! but hold on, there is more to come. on the flip there is hamburgs house impressario h.o.s.h. with his track ben johnson and whether this title is a reference to the legendary sportsman or not, its a pretty record-worthy track: wonderful little stabs and vocal sounds and a bassline so warm and groovy it makes your heart melt. then when the breakdown hits you with its long and winding signal sound, the dancefloor will already be bathing in a floor filled with sweet happiness. this is truely delicious! the two newcomers and residents at hive club in zurich animaltrainer have the honour to finish off this ep with their oily tech-house-anthem talkshow, a superb main-floor-peak-time-melody-affair.

inner thoughts is a rolling acid track with off beat snares and broken hi hats while space disco is a deep detroit esque, mid tempo slice of electronic gem. sonja moonear (karat, katapult) has added her own dimension into the release, having reworked space disco into an obscurely deep, heavily bassed broken piece of dance floor wonder. also on remix duties, lasimo (senator/germany) has taken the original from down town detroit to a parisian night club, dropping the main acid line out but manoeuvring the percussive groove and gentle pads to an altogether new kind of experience.

incl. massive rmxs by chaim & patrick zigon gel brings us into a twisted atmosphere with >very wrong<, an amazing track with an obscure relentless bassline sustaining a tripped-out melody line. an astounding piece of tech-house at its best, already destined to be one of the anthems of this summer 2007. on the flip side, >cocoon< rising star chaim gives a different twist to the tune, bringing it into techno territories and pumping grooves. completing the b-side is patrick zigon, patricks mix delivers a perfect >german< interpretation of the original and keeps the legs shaking with the melody line smartly adapted to a more minimal groove. a perfect closer for this release that tries to appeal to as many as different tastes, from the tech house lovers to the more minimal / techno oriented djs. as promised, be as one is keeping the quality standard of its output to the max making it one of the most promising label of 2007

following the success of its two first releases that encountered the favour of many as different djs across the board, shlomi abers new imprint, be as one is once again set to deliver another stunning piece of underground qualities. rising talent itamar sagi is back this time accompained by a mysterious compatriot by the name of gel abril, a producer who already got releases and remixes on top labels as ovum, renaissance and more, and got picked by shlomi aber as his favourite remixer. together, gel and itamar created >sparta< an hypnotic piece of rolling detroit influenced tech-house perfect to bring the crowds into a deep and epic atmosphere, a tune that already grab some major licensing from undergrownd to big room compilations. for the likes of françois k and carl craig

ever think you d be listening to a gorgeous house tune called piece of meat? pardon the pun but this is one tune you can really sink your ears into. ex ten city member & legendary house music vocalist, byron stingily, takes the notion of a broken or stolen heart literally, so often such is the feeling of lost love. four different remixes bring different flavas of house, from the revered remixing super soulful skills of quentin harris, to the more classic sounding production of byrons original mix, to the dubbier & more bass heavy style of ron carolls bmc emotional remix. vegetarians & carnivores alike will learn to put their differences aside & dance blissfully to this top tune

the last chapter of a four-piece vinyl remi x series including eight exclusive in-house remixes.but the mobilee crew is still on >back to back< tour and rocking several cities during the next month. the chapter is closed by the label boss hersel f. anja schneider has her way with daniel stefanik s anthem >the bells< and she is definitely >back from the valley< . this tune develops a lot of energy without opening all floodgates.and stefanik—not to be bested—does his magic on exercise one s >debaya< . mobilee seems to be daniels field for rave experiments. you never guess what happens in the final sequence while listening to the first seconds of this track. another old school lesson from a new school producer
