a very high quality production for wonder wet records. on the second release, we reset, the dj/producers duo from the capital, well known for their overwhelming live sets, makes its debut.
the productions of we reset are the fruit of their love for live music. folco and alessandro are two roman producers born to recreate in studio the atmosphere of the dance floor through hot and melodious sounds often created with the use of anologic synthesisers built with their own hands. nothing more and nothing less than two best friends who love to making music and spending intense and rewarding days doing it!

>dont let go< sees master producer serum join forces with the north once more for a track of such intense and genuine mid 90s jungle flavours that you may struggle to remember the last decade even happened. this nostalgic banger is run through with the straight up ragga core of dee bo generals refined toasting, famed for his genre defining vocals on urban shakedowns legendary 95 track >arsonist<.

pelacha presents the third release on her young label redsonja records, named >funny friends<. it is inspired by the intense nightlife with her friends. the original track focuses on the dancefloor with detroitish flavours and a mix of the old school and new school. tasteful.
pablo bolivar, part of pulshar (desolat) makes a remake of the original track with a unique dub techno touch, resulting in a truly inspired, excellent track.

g.h. is gary howell, longtime associate of modern love as one half of pendle coven and sometime contributor to the hate project. the ground ep features howells first material produced outside of pendle coven and takes on a much darker, more stripped down aesthetic - making use of location recordings amassed over the last decade. the title track extends over 7 minutes from a solitary bass pulse into a slow, three dimensional industrial reduction heaving with uncomfortable bass weight and a sense of nervous expectation. its like the bare, skeletal noise framework for darkest junglist hardcore stripped of its percussion - all bar a bass drum and intense shards of noise. albedo has more of a swing to it, dominated by a growling bassline and the metallic clunk of disjointed percussion at odds with the squashed funk lurking somewhere at its core. the template is extended on earth, a brilliantly discordant club variant that sounds like an r&b mastertrack exploded into 100 constituent parts and put together not entirely in the right order. it builds and collapses into itself, a stylistic oddity that at one and the same time brings to mind boards of canadas re- working of colonel abrams - trapped and the extreme frequency vortex of the raster noton lab

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.

nice price deal !!! milano based musician and producer joseph bacchilega teams up with piero russo (formerly known as esom, from emphasis recordings) to present you pulsewave music. while empty words and soulless records seems to drive modern underground music, with pulsewave we aim to bring back the spirit which gave life to quality vinyls (from the music, to the artworks) with a mixture of passion, skills, concepts and forms. while the intention is not to have an intention (if not making good music), engraved in the hearth of the record are the words >nothing will be the same<. while the meaning is not to search a meaning, there are things that words cannot express, but the ear can hear and the intuition can feel. nothing, if not a strong emotional content. on the b1, a powerful acid version from esom will be hitting the hardest-to-please underground specialists while, on the b2, a blistering techno track (the original mix) is meant to respond to the most demanding dancefloors. on the flip, uk-based producer and dj, kirk degiorgio (a.k.a. as one/future past), delivers his intense and floor-moving version in a 7 minutes trip which already passed in many djs turntables. dont miss this limited edition, hand stamped vinyl record.

no represses!! only available on special limited edition vinyl, individually stamped and marked and only available 500x times worldwide. this will be a strictly physical release by now, no digital release planned so far. boys noize is back with a true ghetto release and the first part of his >boys noize - live sessions<. with two new tracks, alex is taking us through one of the most intense personal side of a creative process by stripping down the tracks to a one-time studiosession - just by playing around on the machines boys noize is getting the best material to start a (dirty) party.. and on it is!

next up in the sofrito super singles series is the highlife underground ep – celebrating the bassline heavy sound of 80s highlife.
on the a-side we have teamed up with new london producer drumtalk for a remix of ghanas mpese mpese band. initially released in 1986 the original track was an extended medley – the remix balances the swing of the original with heavy bass and chopped chords, bringing the track up to date while respecting the vibe of the original – an intense example of futuristic highlife that bridges the gap between hackney and accra.
the flip sees the sofrito crew present a killer groove courtesy of the canadoes dance band, originally released on the rogers all stars label in 1982. a minor key intro drops into bouncing drums, handclaps and a bubbling bassline that build and build into a deep and unrelenting groove…

gary beck teams up with house legend and personal hero mr. g on their first col- laboration together. their efforts highlight both producers uncanny ability to create something that is instantly recognizable while distinctly individual. >all my people< brings a true and unadulterated house sound with a swaggering vocal sample and straight, crisp and assertive percussion. mark broom returns for his second appearance on bek audio with >stag<. steady, rol- ling techno shows the darker, head-down side of the bek imprint and marks produc- tions. intense percussion builds with the addition of a haunting synth leading to the break. stripped back to the bones the track jumps in with powerful effect.

here comes, well, certainly not the record to turn your party upside down. the first lurker release brings two raw and sluggish instrumental rides through deep slowmotion territory. young talent babok shows us how to move that midnineties downbeat spirit into an adequate place for 2011, his mysterious djurh combines a strongly fragmented rhythm section and a distracted piano from somwhere below.
on small window, nic & jaq manage to hold the balance between early fall romantics and mid winter darkness,reaching the goosebump-o-meter s full scale with an intense samplesound and a thick drumset.

just below steel and grain you will find vakula in the list of top ukraine exports. not one but two shevchenko releases this time around! these sound absolutely massive on the soundsystem ... intense dub pressure on the a-side with an epic bergheim-style percussive techno track on the flip that weighs in at over 13 mins!! pure, analogue, undulating house music! mastered strictly for vinyl.

manuel tur and langenberg (known for his releases on the nice drum poet society label) dropping some delicious tracks on this powerful yellow wax! deep and slowly building techno tracks that have their roots in the basic channel school, but taking things away from the dubby style and bring it back to the club. dirty morphing synths combined with a warm steady beat create a awesome masculine groove with a lot of tension and a intense and controled energy. amazing tracks for the club. techno as it should be! recommended!! played by: efdemin, benjamin brunn, gerd janson (groove), tama sumo, sven weisemann

* missed flight* sees two of drumcodes most prominent artists, cari lekebusch and joseph capriati, team up to deliver a 2 track vinyl ep of essential modern techno.
while lekebusch is a veteran, joseph capriati is part of the upsurge of new talent who have been grabbing increasingly intense attention over the past few years. the pairing of a prodigious new talent (somewhat new – capriati has developed quite a catalogue for an artist in his early twenties) with someone of lekebuschs standing is always an enticing prospect so >missed flight< looks set to turn heads from its billing alone. >missed flight< the track comes on like the perfect theme to the arrival of autumn. the tones are moody and the groove is linear, penetrating and eerily appointed. a kubrick-esque breakdown of pulses and space is the only thing that breaks the momentum and adds a deliciously creepy characteristic to proceedings. track two, >napoli 4am<, balances out its darker tinged predecessor with a shuffling 909 funk and playful groove combination that pairs up with subtly delayed hits deep fm synth work brilliantly.

>candy red / hungry horse< is dro careys debut release for hum + buzz. this exciting newcomer from sydney has already made quite an impression, he was named as one of the top ten producers to watch in 2011 by fact magazine and has already collaborated with the former roll deep member trim. dro careys extraordinary music assimilates everything from classic techno and house to rnb, rap, juke and grime, to produce a peculiar skewed aesthetic. on side a, >candy red< places hypnotic other worldly vocals with interlocking melodies, stuttering percussion and subtle bass drops. on the other side, >hungry horse< begins by deploying a haunted female vocal, before morphing into snatches of different fragmented samples and frantic kicks and snares, for an intense narcotic affair.

francois x returns to the deeply rooted house label for his third record and we are very pleased to hear how he developped his style! code red has a great classic techno vibe, while haunted is an acid intriguing deep and dark track. proper techno! bonus comes on the flip side with the marcel dettmann remix of code red. his version is stripped down dark and pumping in his unique and raw and intense berghain style!

new project by ripperton himself... tamed musiq. a no-nonsens label approach with some of his finest music! rippertons original is an emotive and intense track that we probably havent heard him do before! already one of our favorite ripperton tracks ever! comes with a skudge remix. we ll leave all the hyped limited bla bla out... these days everything on vinyl is limited!

soul jazz records are re-releasing their seminal retrospective on arthur russell.
since the initial groundbreaking release of >the world of arthur russell< five years ago, russell has become the subject of intense media interest. with the recent release of a film about his life (>a portrait of arthur russell<), as well as a new album of unreleased recordings, (>love is overtaking me<), arthur russells stature as a great artist has grown to is current height.

uk producer and bass culture regular, mr. g makes a welcome return to the label with his latest three track bonanza, >gs spot!< ep. with last years >extended pain< ep still causing damage, mr. g tweaks and teases our senses once again as he electrifies with both sides of the vinyl release. the vinyl only title track, >gs spot!< sees him stamp his authority from the get-go. its big-room reach is unquestionable as it builds from its opening bongos and hi-hats into an intense number, driven by its demanding horn stabs. having ramped things up from the off, on the flip >new dayz< brings us back down, if only for a moment. like an alter-ego to our a side, >new dayz< opens with piercing bongos. its soothing synth laps like the tide as it builds to crescendo and then soothed by its bassline.

having originally released tony rohrs oddlantik avenue album back in february, cari lekebuschs h-productions have done what they do best and clubbed together between their tight roster of like-minded artists to come up with a eye-widening selection of reworks for this remixes ep.
left to their own devises to pick what tracks to remix, the individuals own tastes came to the fore. the advent unsurprising opted for the twisted techno killer >eden acid< while cari lekebusch jumped at reworking the crazily tripped out >rz-fun< and alexi delanos low-slung mix of >nightdrive< is beautifully melancholic and deeply intense with fizzing percussion.

tartelet laber manager emil margetli and copenhagen dj stalwart mathias mesteno make up this newly formed duo. the two of them have been djing together for years and share a mutual interest in vintage electronic music.
enter the muff : this warm, bumping and decidedly sticky affair will suck you right in and never relinquish it vice-like grip until the very last compressed 808 clap has been shot out the love canon. its an a-side with the word builder written all over it. laced with heavy sub bass, organ licks, cooing soul vox and rides galore, this is intense, classic house that will provide the dance floor with an elegant slap upside the head.
steady muffin : on the flip, muff deep arms itself with piano licks, lush, organic percussion and all-out, good-time party vibrations. this track embraces everything that is summer from balearic atmospherics, over your favourite childhood sunset, to italo and straight-up disco.

the acronym lfo is normally used for >light fuel oil<, but what robert stolt presents with his new release is truly nutritious fuel for the dancefloor. >beyond lfo< developed a groove like chiseled, massive, overwhelming, heated up and extremely intense. a track that could easily run more and more and leaves you breathless and speechless as soon as the last bass drum is faded away. two remixes come from the feather of the well-known pig & dan guys. a steppin and ever-shifting rhythm is the foundation on which a swinging guitar melody unfolds their poignant effect and transform force into playful clarity. a suitable outdoor summer hit. in their second version, the melodic superstructure is purified rigorously, the residual remain compacted and the driving rhythmic moment dressed in a hypnotic dub garb. the clearly breaks infected track >monster< is inspired by the aesthetics of american b-movie monster movies from the 50s. varying, cinematic sound cascades and these wonderful bleeps over all have a direct path into the heads own sound cinema.

played by: monika kruse, carlo lio, gregor tresher, tassilo, joris voorn, karotte, kaiserdisco, mauro picotto, hernan cattaneo, darren emerson and many more. the one thing that perhaps ties all of dj simis multifarious sounds and aliases together is his passion for distinct drums. his new sci+tec single >green twister< certainly fits. beginning with a stripped back, fuzzy bleep groove, the cut soon becomes a mechanized dancefloor workout thanks to a clear militaristic drum solo. this is classic simi. instead of building tension through sound fx or digital trickery, as so much of todays techno tends to do, >green twister< creates its dancefloor euphoria from a much simpler place: a drum pattern change. for the remix of >green twister<, sci+tec roped in naples danilo vigorito. vigoritos remix is straight up techno jacker. he builds a moody and intense atmosphere around the distinct drums of simis original. its a dark and foreboding club sound.

the zenker brothers grew up in munich, but in 1996 they moved to the countryside and their first adress outside of the bavarian capital was berg 10. shortly after that they got their first dog inti, he smelled like hell, but he was the loveliest dog you can imagine. although it was an intense change and not that easy at the beginning to move from a big city to a village with 5 houses, it was a really important experience for the brothers. and there was so much to discover: the beautiful mountains, lakes and forests, the local football team, the heavy bavarian accent and simply the different mentality on the countryside. all things they would never want to miss, but it was just a question of time to go back to the city. we are proud to present the first record from dario & marco. enjoy!

eleventh and conclusive ten inch of the la series comes from two thirds of the sa-ra creative partners shafiq husayn and om mas keith. working solo on each side shafiq is first with seven minutes of funk split into three parts. >dna splice mix< is an intense mix of hip hop and funk beats, chopped vocals, jazz and soul combining to form an infectious for-the-heads downtown la sound. flipping over om mas goes uptown and gives us a more polished sound with a leftfield r n b - hip hop vocal track >girls a player<. instrumental plus accapella included for potential remixers.

the word genius is not a term we like to use loosely when speaking about our artists but giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor experiment fits the bill. a gifted musician, soft synth designer, found sound pioneer and he still finds time to make forward thinking disco pop for bearfunk as tobor experiment >disco experience<.
after a well received ep in 2008 we sent giorgio back to the studio with the remit to make an lp so special that it could open new doors for us. well he certainly delivered! opening with the sweet modern disco sounds of >postcards from a nervous breakdown< we then get the first taste of giorgios song writing prowess with >breathe< a rather intense little number.

party girl grows from a a collaboration between 2 artists coming from different fields in music. niconote brought her voice and indie-soul stylings to limos club production sound. the release is completed with hot remixes by dapayk, guido nemola and dachshund. this simply but very cute and intense spleen made party girl be here! enjoy!

such an intense, variegated, and singularly saccharin sound can only come from the mind of someone whos in love with life and music. its what puppy love sounds like for our generation. following the paul woolford remix of t. williams and terri walkers heartbeat comes local action 006, the first 12inch release by an amazing new artist from manchester, uk, called damu. after this, hes got material penciled in for blackdowns keysound label and more. the title track, a stand-out from girl units xlr8r podcast last year, is one of the best tunes weve put out yet, full of colour with just the right amount of lushness to it. while a lot of uk dance music right now seems to use colourful synths in an unimaginative way, damus drip, glow and fizz at every turn in the same way that ill blu or funkystepz do. listening to mermaids like diving head-first into a lagoon. after that youve got three more killers: the iron assault of >beat of zen< and the few-more-intense >sequinny<, plus a ‘beat of zen remix by chicago juke titans dj rashad and dj earl. early support comes from lv, girl unit, sinden, brodinski, starkey and more

the first world unknown 12 inch kicks off with a slamming piece of prototype house from glasgows naum gabo aka jonnie wilkes from optimo and his production partner james savage. showing that a relatively low pace doesnt mean any drop in energy levels and dancefloor pump power, whop! cracks along like something from an alternate reality version of 1980’s chicago. its as easy to imagine it rocking the house at medusas or the box as it is to envision it in the present day soundtracking some kind of bizarro fetish party or a particularly intense session at berghain’s lab-oratory. this is jacking in the true sense of the word. on the flip side italian born berlin resident franz underwear ups the tempo with a stunning piece of slamming european musclebeat. shades of ibiza 88-89 pervade here, the kind of pumping, chunky synth action, teutonic vocal exhortations and vaguely menacing but ultimately benign vibe that sent thousands of potty european kids totally round the bend and changed the world of dance music forever.

as the producer responsible for some of lil b and soulja boys weirdest, most inventive beats, and following on from a critically acclaimed, self released mixtape of instrumentals collected from his work over the years with various forward thinking hip hop artists, tri angle is very excited to announce the release of >rainforest<, the debut ep by clams casino. the five songs that make up >rainforest< find clams casino (aka 23 year old new jersey native, michael volpe) refining his ethereal, otherworldly sound, whilst taking it to a heavier and more intense extreme. what has set clams casino apart from most other hip hop producers is his skill in making records that sound just as good, if not better, instrumentally as they do with vocals, and if anyone needed it, >rainforest< represents the confirmation of this. its a record drenched in mysterious atmospherics, like a foggy memory of a far off exotic place, the details buried beneath the mist of distortion, but present nonetheless. none of the songs on >rainforest< have ever been released before, and in contrast to most of his other productions these songs have always existed purely as instrumentals, free of any vocal presence. >rainforest< is an incredibly powerful release which signals the beginning of clams casino coming into his own and operating as an important artist in his own right

fantastic limited reissue of this amazing self-titled afro-funk lp from ghanaian singing and percussion star sidiku buari. originally released in 1975, this super-rare album features an all-star cast of top funk instrumentalists playing alongside buari and boy does it show! blending heavy african rhythms with funky disco grooves, the arrangements and the playing are incredibly tight and the album is chock-full of killer tracks including advice from father (sampled by everyone from kenny dope to groove armada) and ku ka maria with its intense funky breaks and awesome drumming from legend bernard ‘pretty’ purdie, which made these tracks huge on the b-boy/breaking scene also. other stand-out tracks include the wonderful disco-tinged afro monsters karam bani and iro le pa plus the cool laidback groove of them yebtheget. top class!

following ryan davis debut >routes of life< on traum in january 2011, his high acclaimed follow up shows ryan is a real tastemaker but also a real club rocking musician. few artists in the electronic modern dance scene of today make music that seems serious and intense... and still accomplishes to have club people go wild on it. it is a bit of a lost treasure of the golden techno days, ryan always reflects in his music when he creates moments of beauty with an collective fee to them. ryan davis in one of them and his new ep shows that side even more than his debut. a-side track supernova brings images together of psychedelic west coast soundtracks of the 70ies, pop art, shoe gazers and maybe salvatore dalis surrealism.

bedroom community broadens the scope with their newest release: en garde by puzzle muteson, a mysterious, intimate record by a fearless songwriter and lyricist from the windswept isle of wight. arranged and produced by collaborators and labelmates nico muhly and valgeir sigurdsson, en garde is a strange, comforting and alarmingly personal record. driven, spare lyrics are hoisted high by vocals of steady, sturdy tremble. each tune swells with plush guitar pluck in a sea of orchestration and electronics. recorded in the greenhouse studios in iceland, the album collects puzzle muteson s odd and beautiful stories - about love and horses, rust and polar bears, heartbreak and birds. puzzle s songs are curious sounds from a troubled heart and his lyrics are urgent and open, striking a note with their vulnerable memories. i was once a horse is an unforgettable song about nostalgia. the first single and title track, en garde , pits puzzle s longing against waves of dense strings and jagged rhythm, while perspex disguise sets his naked, translucent vocals against shimmering piano that refracts off epic chords. in flamingo head he sings, i left your house. you let me. i left you ugly , buffeted by guitar and distant murmurs. not a single thing could take this magical sight. i ll find you still , he sings in medusa , the story of a man tracking down a lost love. like many bedroom community recordings, en garde takes an unexpected and unique voice and elevates it out of any easily discernible pocket. puzzle muteson could be folk or something completely different - instead he s an intense stranger from the isle of wight - at once both familiar and unfamiliar. en garde heralds a haunting and essential new voice, beautiful, earned and yearning

>sooner or later< by tom clark and martin eyerer is a classy and solid club tune. both masterminds are offering their own >sooner or later< interpretation on this release. tom clarks mix shows a rough and full body, clear structures and is highly seductive. martin eyerers mix is softer with a touch of minimalistic retro-chic. as both interpretations enjoy the same musical introduction the personality of each stands out even stronger making it a treat to the listeners ears. the daniel dreier & dale remix is an intense opposite to the original versions a techno-esque and sparkly ear feast, while the adrian martin & klangwerk remix has a softer approach pairing addictive beats to an ecstasized bass line. all in all >sooner or later< is a 4 track release featuring 4 outstanding visions of the moment in-between sooner or later, a vision for each and every one of us.

emerson todds second release on upon you. the likable new zealander who moved to berlin via australia seems to spend his nights dreaming of the homelands. the cover and title of release number 046 are both inspired by the original natives of new zealand. emersons specially crafted sound is somewhere in-between jungle and metropolis , wild with details yet still beautifully melodic. the a1 track, >you got to< proves that a piano can kick you and a lovely little digital-topping can then combine everything into sweet dub-ness. as to be expected, the b-side is also alive with the artists agility and perfectly timed and placed thing and what-nots to turn any dance floor into an intense experience
