the eps title track baltic pine bounces an elastic bass with a punch whilst its magical melody evolves out of the groove, taking you skipping away until it breaks into a ebullient cacophony of accordion, piano and brass.

played by karotte, nick curly, philip sherburne.... we are pround to present mr.franklin de costas second ep on einmaleins. he takes us into a spheric drivin journey with his two tracks. the title track >redazz< is a hypnotizing minimal groove monster.on the flipside we have tight drums, a hypnotic melody and sick sounds which dont let you go off the hook. two diverse dancefloor weapons !! get your copies

after hitting his stride in 2008 with his debut for mobilee one is not enough followed by his second release, sand on the floor, the one-man phenomenon is back for a third round for mobilees 55th release entitled first talk, an enthralling tech-house release that is as boundless as it is stunning. the a-side first talk is a bouncing techy track that constantly moves forward and progresses without sounding the least bit rushed, continuously teasing the listener with build-ups that stop just short of peaking. combining vintage synths and reverb-laced loops, and.id meticulously plays with dynamics and atmospherics with the end result being a release that constantly moves forward without sounding the least bit rushed. b1 ephoria maintains a similar level of compelling restraint, with stuttered house beats and melodic undercurrents that morph and shift until they transform into arpeggiated swells leading the track to its endpoint. on b2 lights on and.id displays his darker, more minimal side, taking advantage of lower frequency ranges and recurrent echoes

nice price deal !!! solotempos new ep basks shamelessly in catchy harmonies, indulges in bassdrums and wallows in the beauty of analog sounds processed with precision. >new ears< is firmly rooted on the dancefloor. on this particular dancefloor you re plunged into descreetly arranged, hypnotising house and minimal tracks, which don t simply sit on their beat, but gracefully summersault again and again, creating those unique moments of eternity. fittingly, solotempos sounds should work best on springy forest soil, at around four or five in the morning when dawn breaks and the sun rises.

this release is played and got huge support by artists such as extrawelt, perc, xpansul, metalogic, tony rohr, dietrich schoenemann, xavier morel and many more. nachtstrom schallplatten is back with their 12th release and this time we are proud to present the newly formed project of niels paschen (known from his previous releases with his project noosphere) which is co-produced by one of the pioneers of electronic music and our special friend: marcus maichel (the delta / x-dream / desonanz).this unholy alliance delivers 3 superb techno-stompers which will make your booties shake on any dancefloor around the globe. while prototype is convincing with its driving phat bassline and sheer energy, seven seconds is packed with rolling grooves and psychedelic twists. the third track is taking the best elements of both tracks and combining them into a wild rollercoaster-ride which will turn you upside down

this is the one you ve all been waiting for, the bad science ep from the mighty rustie. amazingly enough for an artist who has such an huge impact over the last year this is only his second full ep. i could go for on days about how good it is but best not eh. it all kicks off with the fractured hip-hop weirdness of tar and then swiftly moves into the massive bad science. we ve been seeing folk go crazy to bad science and rightly so, its an anthem and has getting properly hammered by kode9 and mark pritchard to name a few. its then on to the out there 8 bit bleepage of shadow enter. the b-side is now dedicated to the now legendary zig-zag and wireblock have really done themselves pround with this one by going straight to one of rustie s hero s the legendary henrich mueller (dopperleffekt, drexciya, arpanet etc) to add his own electro-physics sound to the aquatic mentalness of the original track. it comes to an end with zig zag (reprise), now the original was daft enough but this just to pushes it even further into new realms of madness. buy, buy, buy!

the talents of japanese orchestral arranger yukari yamashita are present once more to pen an orchestral arrangement of symphonic cinematic proportion with a hint of baroque flavour, within a subtle eastern twist. and if then add their special blend of slamming beats, sonics and out there fx. a hypnotic pizzicato line develops into a full blown orchestral melody, whilst three dimensional sounds seamlessly elevate the listeners spirit whereas the bass and beats keep your feet firmly grooving on the ground.

supported by: anja schneider, julietta, brothers vibe, matthias tanzmann, anthony collins, chris wood, gebr?der teichmann, kabale und liebe, federico molinari, nekes, ray okpara, johnny d., sascha dive, ekkohaus, varoslav... reggie hammond was born in borrego spings in 1982. but already at a very young age he decided to leave the californian deserts and moved to london to focus on electronic music. the rolling techno-tool track for the 3rd diaphan release was created during a jam-session and ? as you can easily hear ? it is followed by some very crazy vocals spoken and sang by the >pleasemachine<, who transform it into a song that drives you directly to the dancefloor. with >ungodly< he presents a slow and very deep dub-track proving his frankness for other styles. the release will be completed by george p s pleasemachine-rmx and shows the track from an absolute different point of view. as a bonus you can also find an instrumental version of >pleasemachine< on the next powerful diaphan ep

northern songs in a southern style - fab guiro!
welcome to fab guiro! - the album title is a combination of both the popular british phrase fab gear referring to all cool music & lifestyle aspects and issues surrounding the band and also stresses the relation to the percussion instrument guiro that is an integral instrument, sound and necessity in latin, salsa and especially traditional cuban music. fab guiro! is beat music in a fascinating, exotic robe, a drum roll of liverpudlian song pearls the songs of the beatles on fab guiro! do actually sound like copacabana, cuba and kingston - but always like the english harbour town in the summer - northern song in a southern style are indeed warm songs, fab guiro! simply means lots of fun, entertainment and thus celebrates our heroes.

everyone knows this feeling, when a hook line of a track wont let you go. one says it is a tune wedgie, even if it sounds a bit weird in the clubbing scene. but never you mind, you just start singing out of the blue. olene kadar just hit the bulls eye with >yipyippyip<. this track impresses with an extraordinary addicting ragga vocal and puts on top his breathtaking freaky beat wrapping. one wonders where to put this into a greater content: musical seriousness or simply the fun factor. but in the end people always go crazy, when olene kadar rocks one of the countless parties in holland. the artist playing right after him faces a difficult time. that is what dave aju might have had in mind. his remix heads for another direction. very relaxed and reduced to the bare essentials he slows down the tempo to garnish this fantastic groove with the vocals and e-piano chords. so cool. on the flip you will find the dashing rave monster >neal deepersma<, that brings olene kadars former releases on mos ferry back to mind. on the label website you will get a free bonus download called >looking for an<.

the 2nd ep vinyl preview of the highly anticipated italoboyz full length bla bl bla (out in september) on mothership. not everyone is aware that both marco and fede migrated north to london from italy several years ago. this move has influenced their sound, hence the where is london? ep this ep also marks the start of their new live instrumentation work. where is london draws its title from a big ben sample put in reverse, but it also features experimental live piano work (piano strings struck with paper mallets) re-twisted into their addictive drum patterns. on the other side, lanagramme features salvador dalis voice and the interesting dual piano work of their good friend angelo. italoboyz are always pushing the boundaries and testing the limits of traditional dance-floor music and this is no exception.

we are honoured to announce john roberts blame the next step in our current excursion into the world of djs, clubs, flashlights, boy meets boy and boy meets girl meets girl... john roberts is already a resident in our little universe but this time we decided to mix him up with the masters of deep desasters because his new record is so heavily haunted by the spirits and ghosts of those who started it all we could not resist. these to die for chords of blame shake up minds and hands as they just would be related and who is to blame if you feel the shiver of a down pitched wurlitzer organ hand played by john in new york and also back in berlin. watch out for john roberts upcoming album on dial hopefully ready this fall!

2003 journey into nitelife by kenny hawkes!!

first seconds into already 27th release on recognition, and we immediately know that there is serious business going on here. stunningly complex drum track goes like clockwork, only setting the scene for what is to come. forget the craft of drum programming - we are talking another dimension here. >modern dance< is like being suddenly dropped into suspended animation: having that peculiar feeling that the world around is accelerating to the verge of a seizure - and at the same time this very world feels so slow... unnamable, transparent sheets of sound almost give no room to breathe - but ones breath is taken away by the magnificent landscape it s about to appear. shapes shift under half-closed eyelids, and while the low, peaceful yet sad chant comes in, one can feel it like an omnipresent breath, burning hot and marble cold at the same time. this mysterious and heart-wrenching voice comes courtesy of one yula, and were gonna surealy hear much more from her in the future. and it seems that the beats literally start to boil... rhythms shuffle and swing, and taken the lack of floating melodies abundant in jaceks earlier output this track is even more outstanding from theproducers former work - probably acting as a bridge towards new visions, appearing in the confidence of the new, almost-perfect studio.

cosmic journey, the monster 303 dominator of a lead cut on this 3-track release from moscows denis a looks like being the biggest release so far from this new label. but really this is all about the monstrous groove that denis a creates with some superb 303 tweaking and peaking that makes this track an instant dancefloor smash. over on the b side sadalmelik and orbis novus are both excellent explorations into tech territory, with catchy melodies, and more minimal styling. perfect for creating a mood, and no less captivating.

christian hilscher and nico plagemann - three minutes before the start: three double signals are flashing at the starting lights. the pilots are strapped into their cockpits with pinpoint accuracy. windows down, elbow out. the sound system is at the limit, the golden chevrolet is shimmering û a real feast for both the audiences eyes and ears. one minute before the start: the motors start roaring. now only two double lights are flashing at the starting lights. adjust your sunglasses. put in the first gear. the bass is vibrating. 15 seconds before the start: only one double light is flashing. now, the kollektiv is on its own. the last bit is tickled out of the sound system. behind the car, a marshal is waving a yellow flag when suddenly the windows start vibrating with the bass. the speed range is signal-red. start: the last double signal of the starting lights goes out, and for the charming guys from hamburg, five green lights are going on: the start. the pulse rate is rising up to 110. its the point of no return - the race is on..

muffler tears it up on this latest release from sigh co records. on the a side >dirrrty< kicks off with suspensful strings before dropping into a tech based stormer with its grumbling bass and rolling beats. whilst on the aa >mankind< keeps the groove more minimal, relying on the b line which sounds like a digeridoo on crack with subtle hooks and stepped beats.

after the success of their collaboration with paul thomas on last years festival anthem >arena<, mark knight and funkagenda join forces once again on one of the most eagerly anticipated tracks showcased at this years miami wmc.
>good times< is the feel good anthem of the summer comprising of a modest intro with a warbling bass line driving slowly through collecting sounds, before opening up into an edgy synth stab and finally the insanely catchy vocal hook >these are the good times<! the track drops back in like a speeding locomotive train going full steam ahead, with cleverly placed percussion, fx and siren sounds soaring to create an intense rhythm.
on the flip, >flauta magica< shows the diversity of these two acclaimed producers when they get in the studio together. taking a different route from the lead track and concentrating more on the groove, >flauta magica< chugs along nicely with an almost tribal percussive feel to it. the excellent chanting vox sample, reminiscent of the early house sound, keeps the groove rolling along into the drop. taking the lead from the tracks name, a whistling flute riff drops elevating the musical vibe to a new balearic level.

yep, thats right. synth pop sensations heartbreak remixed by the horrors. tom furse from the horrors has a fearsome collection of analogue synths and used them to rebuild this track from heartbreaks debut album from the ground up, and a killer job hes done too. as ali and sebastian from heartbreak both release on dissident their label lex thought it would be a good idea if dissident did the 12 inch release. obviously due to the nature of this release and the addition of the combined horrors / heartbreak fanbase its pretty much an instant collectors item and will fly out of the door at a fair old rate of knots so please make sure you order enough to keep everyone happy, i doubt well have any of these left by the end of the week. the clip is taken from the second half of the track as it turns into a glorious cosmic synthesizer orgy, theres plenty of arpeggiated trackiness before it gets to this bit

after the smash that was shatnereffekt one, handsette recordings return, bringing a host of diverse and super talented artists from around the world together on one massive ep and another essential array of electronic music.
kicking off the ep is kritical audios >spandex<, a tune that comes slow on the heels of the swedish duos 2006 braindance monster >krupp<. the swedish duo have come with an itchy slice of razor sharp electrofunk with a burbling acid bassline thats currently being caned by surgeon and rob hall (who says, i ve been playing the kritical audio track a lot. good stuff )... this is a big tune!
next up we have miles tilmanns >spirex< which starts with a wonky off beat that gives way to some wacked-out rubbery bassline action and a lead line that could have come from the keyboard hands of harold faltemeyer or parliaments bernie worrell.
following that is c. mantles >that other eden<. fearsome and delicate, morose and savage, >that other eden< is a serious piece of dancefloor heft with reese basslines burbling under a clattering beat before dropping away into a slightly terrifying double-drop breakdown.
unity gain temples >sahmo< rounds out the ep with a glistening, truly beautiful piece of work. the heavy kicks of the intro are met by a rush of lush chords and deft touches of melody, driving the track into a space that is pure audio luxury and reminiscent of brothomstates, arovane and tippers more contemplative moments.

the new series for raw no-nonsens techno and house tracks. some straight up techno... some edgy, exciting and fresh, sometimes just plain functional dj tools. first one is mike dehnert with his solid umlaut track that was overlooked by many when it was released on his own fachwerk imprint. mike is one of the big talents with his own trademark sound.. something we don t hear to often! 3 unreleased verions of umlaut2... mikes first unreleased mix, slightly housier then the first one, the umlaut2 new version which is a straigth up club tool. big surprise here is the remix by levon vincent! a new talent from new york that got his name on the map after 3 incredible releases on his own novel sounds and deconstruct labels. he did a more then excellent job with his dirty and housier version. levon did lay down a crazy groove with an old fashioned hook line (very n.y. house) and mold it into a fierce techno track. fresh and completely different then most techno out there these days.

nice price deal !!! from the deep dark cold depths of melbourne down and out disco suburbia comes the long-long awaited debut release from serial hitmaker, synth wiz, coffee addict and all rounddudebabe, gloves. fresh, from the titanic sinking of his former musical yacht, damn arms, and off the back of remixes for the likes of cut copy, vanshe, sneaky sound system, the deathset, the scare and ted & francis, gloves sails bright into the dance horizon with his first 2-track original release on banggang12s.

sometimes a track is so hot it just has to come back around again. about ten years ago brett johnson and dave barker (stucco homes) wrote some unbelievably catching house tunes, one of them being temptation and lies. so it just seemed right to give this track yet another life. deadbeat and mike shannon dive deep into a stripped down techno groover, removing the constant use of the vocals and creating a rolling techno dub version. some seriously deep bass in the production that works the subs in all the right places. ernesto ferreyra and guillaume coutu dumont aka chic miniature give you a playful melodic version on the flip. full use of the original chord progressions, combined with the guys signature marimba/latin percussion leaving you with a lush, warm summer hit. then brett dives into the track again giving you the oohs and ahhs mix. a ten minutes work out with bjs patented groove focused on the vocal harmonies in the original. the result is a warped, spaced out, long player that is sure to twist a few heads. mental just about sums it up. of course we had to include the original masterpiece for those who didnt find it the first time round. a favorite of everyone involved on the remix project i think youll agree that the temptation and lies cynosure mixes do the original some justice.

classic breaks, lush strings and tribal textures blend perfectly into 2 genre bending tunes!!

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.

silver coloured vinyl, limited to 300 copies!
posthumans entry into the electronic music world was via the now legendary skam records - duo have established themselves as not only post human but post techno, post minimal and post rave.

computor rockers return after the worldwide hit that was computor interface (brk49) with another showcase of exactly how electro should be put together. all too often retro can mean dull and uninspired (or just lame plagiarism), but anyone who has been following ed dmxs career over the last several years will know that really isnt the way he plays the game. instead he understands the value of songs and melody... the beats are fresh, without a doubt, but it will usually be the tune or the lyrics that will hook you into a dmx production, the elements that turn just another electro track into something unique and valuable. and so it proves here, from the classic computor shock (which helpfully comes in vocal and instrumental versions for those who just cant do the voice thing) to the melodic and hooky electro-funk of how we used to rock and distributed processing. stunning as always!

limited restock on this 1997 ovum release, featuring remixes by angel morales, harry romero and junior sanchez aka nitebreed, cloak going downtempo and jamie myerson himself, who turns the house into drum and bass.

2 heavyweight names meck & dino lenny join forces for a step back into the acid house days with this new version of the classic xspansions move your body limited edition smiley picture disc get in quick!!

daniel munkelberg has come to the attention of record labels across germany, with his experimental minimal-techno sound. this ep kicks off with an epic j alexander remix, together with ronald christoph on co-production duties. friends electric records head man j alexanderÆs remix massively beefs up the original track ôdigamö adding one of the most hypnotic synth lines you are ever likely to hear, layer upon layer ofá oberheim synths and 909 percussion combine with the quirky samples from the original to create a instant techno classic. other tracks on the ep include a darker, but dance floor friendly journey into minimalism with a san miguel remix and another daniel mukelberg original named musteki

deetron pops in with two great remixes, turning the original into a stomping, screaming rework that gets just as epic. the believer mix is a 8 minutes epic featuring deetrons typical fusion of classic detroit techno with some crisp acid touches and corrina stunning vocals. the spring leaves mix shows a more soulful side with a deeper vibe, rhodes and rollin beats ! pitto, after his big feeling record, is back with a little help from joris voorn for a hot remix, using a killer bassline over a simple groove and tweaking the vocals for an effective game!

ac/dcs storming 1980 return after bon scott tragically past away! a tribute to bon scott, and the 2nd largest selling album of all time with over 40 million copies sold worldwide.

we are delighted to announce the wagon repair debut of montreal native stephen beaupre. one half of crackhaus, a long time collaboration with deadbeat, stephen has recently released solo material on labels from musique risque and ~scape, and put out his debut album on mutek’s own imprint in 2006. in honour of the great ancient persian empire, ‘achaemenid’ roams stridently with tight kick, clangorous melodic cascades and prodding rhythmic tones. ethereal string pads and moaning atmospherics imply conflict, narrated by catchy vocal passages from beyond the murky depths. a reverberant rhythmic synth line injects life into ‘lotus eaters’, with static vocal samples and penetrative melodic tones forming sonic structures around deep tom and rattled hat. grossly intoxicating, elements lull into a mellow haze before reanimating into a wildfire finale.

the mind melt keeps melting. pretty soon we will just be puddles of freaky essential oils, reduced down to our effervescent essence, like jasmine, or dry kool-aid. of course we are talking about onur Ízers album kasmir, the gift that keeps on giving. once again renowned artists have come out in full force reworking selected tracks off onurs album for vakants remix-only vr. first up is mr. rajko m³ller, better known as isolÚe, who having spent some time growing up in algeria, continues with the african remixer theme (tunisian born loco dice remixed eclipse on part 1. you know us, as if we even need an excuse to work in africa somehow.) isolÚe takes onurs otherwise chilling innervoice and reinterprets it into a thick warm blanket of reassuring bounce. flipping the record inverts dimensions of time and space. abyssfully deep legend baby ford takes the already ethereal aida and turns it into the soundtrack for finding the god particle. its scary, yes, but ultimately it could explain everything.

dear all, to start cassius records in a rush heres our first output: the youth, speed, trouble, cigarettes ep. a shout to all kids of earth and ravers at heart, the people for whom dancing late, living fast, getting into trouble and chain smoking is as important as sleeping and checking mails. it contains youth, speed, trouble, cigarettes. a fresh track we did last month and our first cover to date almost cut my hair from the fantastic david crosby, one of the best song ever but done our way. heres the first cassius record! we hope you will enjoy it as we do! we cant wait to give you the follow up but until then happy listening, dancing or whatever ... produced by zdar & boombass.

whoa! this is a solid remix ep of tracks taken off tom tragos voyage direct project. man of the moment motor city drum ensemble (mcde) cooks up a solid house remix of passion... very classy! on the flip yurotrago toughen up brothers of string into a hypnotic house builder. lastly, actress transforms lost in... into a classic detroit workout, reminiscent of infiniti or shake

supported by: richie hawtin, dubfire, gabriel ananda, alexi delano, livio & roby ...
plaupez >l ame d un singe< is the 1st release from alma soul music. this ep has a mixture of music styles wich include deep, tech & minimal house. plaupez original mix is certainly a good example of the genre variety, its house base blends into a tech atmosphere with a futurist melody. jon gurd s version is ideal for a late night mainfloor, with powerful basses and energic percussions. vasco inspirian offers his particular sound wich has a very noticing detroit influence and licuadora system s remix minimalizes the track with his frenetic minimal- house version. all four tracks are composed by very talented artists and the result is ready to rock any dance floor!

you might remember collen & webb who from one of the early gamm releases (the jamaican jerk off). the boys are now back with two hot reworks on soul diva pauline?s hit single ?give me a call?. for fans of the soulful philly sound we recommend the ?soulful smash? version which rides on the o?jays ?back stabbers? sample. but if u?r into the amy winehouse sound u definitely need to check the ?northern smash? version with its jazzy loops and fierce rhythms. btw, watch out for more collen & webb action on gamm later this year...they got sum hot motown stuff in their trunks!

the mighty cloaks return with their third offering so far on wax and the second deviant emission drawn from their groundbreaking new cd album release >versus grain<. they destroyed an expectant audience with dubplates of these tracks at the recent launch party in the infamous corsica studios venue in elephant & castle london - cloaks + funktion one pa x fresh wax = guaranteed devastation. generously cut at transition with ample bass pressure, this band marks a development we should have seen coming - where ministry fans finally learn some moves and the urban music posse get into some serious shredding.

this marks the tenth release for absurd and for the momentous occasion pablo bolivar has delivered an ep soaked with dubbed out grooves. pablo has developed his growing songwriting talents crafting songs into atmospheric soundscapes brimming with ideas, energy & texture. absurd recording artist alex krueger under his tigerskin guise steps in and dresses things up with and awesome nu groove inspired piano riff.

detroit inspired bleeping techno ep. original cut brings back the accelerate synth bloop with modern pulse drums. damon wild kicks in the tight acid and xpansul makes this a big room summer hit. steve parker, not being an adept of calculated biographies or narrated thoughts, continues believing that the best way of presenting him self like dj and producer will always be with his quality and huge musical background. counting on a long career as dj his style in a dj set goes from tech-house and into the minimal techno, with the only guarantees that above any label or musical style the sonorous quality will always be the first and only priority

fooled only by qualities insomuch as they indicate not only the direction of my movements, but also their magnitude, i can only assume that momentum as it pertains to my own thoughts, is linear, but often the concepts floating around in my head tell me there is an expiration date on reason, as the clarity of vision relating to thought is fading into a remarkable ineptitude. however, as luck will have it, i have shifted into another sign, leading me to believe that thought can sometimes flip. into what you ask? i can only answer succinctly once i have established that we are together and that i am not alone. i have conserved all that i am allowed brick by brick. now it‚ is your turn.

starting with the first note of >abc< mr. ho s warm beats are melting into our erdrums, down our spine, sending shots of musical temptation into our legs that give one clear order: dance!

the second release on the newly formed barcelona label they are changing it comes from barcelona based american dj/producer fluen. on this ep fluen gives us a glimpse into his production range delivering an ep that has a clear chicago/ny house influence , but manages to avoid the conga fever that has swept the scene as of late, and at the same time sounds very current. on the a side, things take off with better days, fun and very dancefloor oriented. the second track on the b side, mary says stands out right away thanks to a catchy piano riff and female cut up vocals,reminiscent of old chicago records. on the b side, fluen mixes things up a bit with a song that catches you from the get go. music remains starts very basic, with a dreamy piano line and a kick that lay the foundations for a song that could easily be a hit, simple, beautiful and very dancefloor friendly. the vocals wisely remind us that >people come and go, times do change and allà. but the music remains<. limited edition of 500 units

after excellent results with the first three releases, it is label manager dia who comes out with the next release on vinyl did it. roaches travel in groups is an ep complete with the right amount of house and techno elements, never leaning too close to one style yet retaining a familiarity and elements from each genre to make it appealing to just about any music lover. on the a side, left there kicks off the record with vintage-like house pads and piano. the second track on the a side, winds of tomorrow takes things into techno territory with classic 909 claps, prominent hi hats, and filtered synths, upbeat,fun, and more of a peak time track. on the b side, dia shows us a sound that she dominates and clearly has defined her previous eps, leaning towards the often called >afterhours techno<, with a strong, deep, hypnotic track, scrape. made up of small sounds and carefully placed percussive elements that carry the track nicely, all this topped by a contagious voice that seems to invite us into a parallel universe where the only thing that matters is the music. limited edition of 500 units!
