the release kicks off with title track find my way which features exciting young vocalist, ria morans heartfelt tones. cade opts for swinging 909 drums and a hooky bass-lick as the driving force, while morans voice sporadically eases in and out of the groove and understated chord stabs and tension building strings fuel the musicality, resulting in a classy, deep-house workout. up next is dr. fox, embracing a similar deep, contemporary house aesthetic, with saw-wave bass hits, cosseting pads and hooky vocal snippets acting as the fundamental elements of the cut, cade then plays on subtle variations in the groove throughout its near seven minute duration, to maintain an evolving dynamism and enticement. entering the latter half of the single we have ghostryder up first, cade opts for a more upfront approach this time, bringing busy drum programming to the forefront, alongside sweeping synth tones, a tom-driven bass line and dubbed out vocal licks.

canadian artist carlo lio makes his first appearance on the saved imprint, delivering his unique sound with >what it is<. possessing a lot of energy with its warm, rolling bass line, the track builds and then moves into an intense drop, characterised with the twisted vocals, oscillating effects and trippy strings. over on the flip, french house producer phil weeks demonstrates why he is one of the best producers in the game, delivering a remix that seals the package of perfectly

midnight moves. thats what comes to mind when you listen to cale parks s n1, preferably at an hour long after dusk has settled around you in some beautiful, insomniac city. parks finds – or more aptly, seeks – beauty and grace in ambience and shadows. n1 starts as pure atmosphere – it feels at first like a sort of lovely sonic nothingness slowly taking form – before growing into the darkly lit, gorgeous moodscape it later becomes. a sensual bassline, a pulsing downbeat, a cinematic piano, strains of italo disco, and the sensation of breezing down a lightless road. if you could make sensuous shapes of the night – imagine kneading the dark itself – it might, at the very best, feel like this. the task of remixing parks s original is taken up by french duo paradis, who can otherwise be heard making music on tim sweeney s beats in space label. the paris-based producers shine a brightening light on parks s dusky creation, quickening its pulse and trading in its darkwave undercurrents for enlivening techno and house. theres an element of floating here – a dreaminess in the rhythms, an astral aspect to the keys beaming through the beats. and with the addition of vocals, sung in french – a pop finishing touch on a song that already feels like an earworm – the transformation is complete. this excellent introduction to cale parkss music is also his debut release on the hakt label.

following the success of the consumer ep by fellow label owner james johnston comes the praise ep by alex agore, and its a true return to form for him on no matter what. the record opens with the title track >praise< - an inspired tribute to gospel music, keeping all the soul but reimagining it into something more infectious. uplifting keys combine with vocals that will have you trying your best to sing-a-long, over a bass groove that holds it all together. >falling< is a slower affair, with its dream-like chords, airy synthwork, cowbell hits and seamless hats. a perfect track to start a night or to end one. the b-side completes the package with two undeniable house jams. you will soon realise how much you like >theres no love< when its skippy vocal is stuck in your head, hours after hearing it for the first time. >i can feel you< closes out the ep on a deeper note which will have you thinking of moments when the sun is about to rise, yet the night is far from over.

the 7th sccucci manucci ep kicks off in moustache curling style with a scandinavian slice of four / four action from tarjei nygard. on loan from his own untz untz records, tarjei nygard weaves his way way through beautifully recorded synth bleeps and bass lines on togo, culminating in a piano breakdown which will have any party reaching for the lasers. the scandinavian vibe continues as dane brian logstrup comes correct with the classic slab of deep house sound that is i can dowhilst we return to the uk and the sounds of london producer mella dee whose uk garage and bass influences shine through on the peak time monster love is. last seen debuting on buzzin fly, alex blaxx rounds off proceedings with the wonderfully insouciant house of its a race thing

rsi is a new label affiliated to the tusk wax empire, and for their first release they look to the unexpected choice of the posthuman duo of rich bevan and josh doherty. hecatism sees the pair wander into deeper corners than their music is usually known for, trading electro breakbeats for a mid tempo production filled with resonant textures and vocal chunks that could nominally be described as house, while helioshock sees them break out the 303 for some heady acid grooves. the remixes of the title track come expertly chosen also, with disco bloodbath resident damon martin taking the track even deeper into something approaching balearic groove, and pork intl, who adds a distinctly more interstellar flavour to the original with its danny wolfers-style analogue house chords.

- limited coloured 10 inch remix

the second offer on public possession is by artist matthew brown. we know little about this guy - he lives in tasmania in an area known as the great western tiers and is held in high regard for his live sets on the mainland. getting the final tapes of him was quite difficult but well worth the effort. he has been an integral part of the electronic underground scene in australia for years and the demand for a physical release was high. finally the wait is over, public possession is very happy to present you the first ever 12&#8243,, by matthew brown, who delivers three tracks, two of them probably best described as analogue electronic funk for dancefloors at peaktime. the ep is completed by the track borobo with its incredible slowmotion groove and balearic touch. all in all we are very happy to share this music with you, as it was a about time that the music by the man matthew brown gets its shine on a vinyl release. expect more to come in the future, this is just the beginning…

2013 repress / release number 6 from our label brings us oscar muleros latest work, proof that the new sounds hes experimenting with do not constitute at all a departure from his command of the rawest side of the purest techno. horses, oscar muleros new ep, takes us back to the mulero that the majority of the public will recognise, to the overwhelming sound that has led him straight to the top over the past two decades. the record opens with like a wolf: broken drum beats, sharp hats, fm basses and dynamic white noise drones whose energy never falters throughout the track. horses, the second track, gives the record its name and offers intricate rhythm programming, dark atmospheres and acid sounds that, as a whole, create a mental and hypnotic feeling. the closing track is in a silent way, which runs along similar lines to the previous two, but with less bpms and with an obsessive sequence that mutates and develops throughout the track leaving the listener with a mills aftertaste, but with a berliner touch.

..together again. coyu and edu imbernon, the hottest spanish producers join his forces again to make another enormous ep. they know the summer is coming so they ended up with a track that was made to play with the sun shining over our heads. open air is a track that will refresh your mind, pure techno coming from the mediterranean sea. although the remix is coming from cold germans lands, and after their great success with imprint of pleasure, tube & berger have manage to edit a fresh cut that perfectly complements the original one. without any doubt is the best ep to start the summer with. its hot!

for the fourth r-zone, we serve up three more tracks of fizzing atmospheric house. first track exclamation is rough and rugged with rattling percussion hidden behind layers of grainy sci fi ambiance and the breathy exhalations of a male voice. nebulous pads and synths spiral around each other forming a dense layer of dust and next track march of the worms is even more militant. this one crawls deep below the surface where analogue machines carve out weird patterns, forming a truly knackered sounding house groove. finally, claustrophobic habits bangs a bit harder, its all splintered drums and coarse claps backed with a howling, gnarly groan and truly transports you to a sonic universe miles away from the norm.

dont wait for yonks! nail returns with the yonks ep on sheffields shabby doll label. just what is house musics secret? what has enabled it to disperse its genes throughout contemporary music while still staying true to itself and remaining, frankly, irresistible? if there is one man who appears to possess the answer – or who at least has access to the secret vault where the formulas kept – it is nail.

the follow up to the coveted ghetto track from jody fingers finch brings two fantastic remixes from chicagos derrick carter. on the a-side, the bhq acid vocal mix finally sees its release and delivers a straight up jack track with the instrumental on the flip.

criminal love is the welcome return of culprits biggest young discoveries of 2012 – climbers – to the label. its their third culprit release and yet another single aimed to sweep this summer seasons best daytime parties, in the wake of success of last years 2 come back

a four-track ep, bemired and evil-eyed, but with room for arnaldo to breathe out and flex a little after his spooked, sparked contribution to blank slate 001. the opener is a dubwise bubbler, with spaced-out keys, free woodblocks, shuffling hi-hats and elastic 303 bass. atmosphere breached is more jazzy and messed-up, running funky organ through sizzling fx, syncopated handclaps and filtered groans. the flip is dancefloor-trained. our pick of the bunch, verano is in a dark, hissing, aqueous world of its own, chugging and stomping, with relentless tambourines, crunchy filtered tribal drums and detuned horns. heads down to close: lost voices and a 909 kick, chattering hi- hats and rattling percussion administer the licks.

brazilian foursome funky fat are back with an unmissable summer release . the original ‘jealousy’ is a funk-fuelled ride of unbridled energy, solid grooves and seductive vocals. that shaping up to be another huge release for hot creations funky fat were first seen on the label with the ‘masochist ep’, their joint venture with fellow brazilian stars digitaria, which received critical acclaim across the board for its fresh fusion of electro, disco and pop. fans of the release included the likes of solomun, sasha and claude von stroke. hot creations label boss and hot natured member jamie jones delivers a killer remix of ‘jealousy’ for late night action, cutting the vocal into snippets and working around the infectious bassline with his own crispy hi-hats and rolling drum grooves.

after 17 years at the top of its game chronic is undergoing an evolution. from its beginnings as an undercover outlet for some of the scenes biggest names chronic has always kept its feet firmly on the dancefloor. with d&b now commercially accepted the world over, 2013 sees one of the scenes original no frills labels reborn, with a new look and a renewed passion to cater strictly for the underground on which this scene is built.

club support: bailey, bryan gee, crissy criss, dj hype, sub focus, dj marky, dj krust, dj craze and more!

*foundation* is the new ep from especially good, the most exciting band from detroit in recent memory. the eight track ep showcases the trios dynamic energy of julio dominguezs vocals, joe flis synthesizers and drum programing and paul kirys bass - culminating in songs that are equally raw, brutal and honest. the sound of e.g. exists in a space of its own, but one can hear influences of throbbing gristle, factory records and detroit techno in the rhythms and sonic textures throughout *foundation*. recorded and mixed in detroit by sam consiglio and adam lee miller (of adult). released on est. 83 records

meditative, absorbing dance music in true moritz style — at times seemingly transfixed by its own elements, and minimal almost to vanishing-point, but quickly back ticking, kicking and amassing, with the lethal dubwise density of the classic berlin sound. twelve minutes long, trenchant and forbidding but sharply alive, the dub itself is a kind of deep fort-da gambit which scoops your brain out for a quick sluice, before replacing it slightly skewiff. dont drop your guard because of the tresor.

a little over year after its foundation, reaktivate achieves one of its 1st major goals: to put out a release in a tangible, physical format. even though the label tries to put the same care into each of its releases, independently of the final form it takes, as we believe in making the music acessible to as many people as possible, we realize that entering the vinyl market is a decisive step in the showing of commitment and belief in what we do and the artists we support, to the scene at large. for this landmark release, rkt upholds its tendency to be a platform that combines both newcomers and established artists in techno. up and coming colombian talent daniel restrepo (astronomical telegram) represents a strong bet that we feel is justified, and here he is met by three (well, actually four) artists with proven track records in modern techno with an eye beyond the functional.

paris based dj and producer reverend p have been on the gamm radar for quite some time. but its not until now that we managed to get his wonderful edits released through gamm.
spread out over two eps reverend p delivers soul, funk and boogie reworks that sets himself up there with all the big players on the edit scene. on part 1 we find a hot selection of marvin tunes and a soulful chi-lites track.

achim maerz takes electronic abstraction back to a state of organic harmony and rythm. his ep >long time no see< reveals a soundscape of intimacy and evolving grooves. reduction broadens its horizon. all sounds are carefully placed and a sustaining atmosphere keeps developing from song to song. still each one is an individual scenery of its own. >keys of my soul< delicatly moves through wide rooms while >shake, shake, shake< leads closer to the core of groove. the backbeat driven >system< already possesses a pushing groove which mutualy connects it to >long time no see< with its warm pulsating baseline. achim maerz approach to house shows how much is possible if self-limitation leads to creativity.

the sub:stance vinyl only box set marks the 5th anniversary and final edition of the sub:stance night at berghain, marking its passing with 7 exclusive tracks by artists who have been central to its sound and prints of the legendary flyer artwork used to promote each event. sub:stance was the collision of two worlds – the vitality of uk bass music intertwined with berghain and all its sensory exhilaration and unique atmosphere....

part 2 concludes killawatts largest body of music to date, the opposing rhetoric ep, a 6 track opus of truly progressive uk underground sound that melds his influences from dubstep and techno with expansive, high-tension sound design. the eps second triplet of beats feature his most overtly techno-focussed sounds yet, expanding his horizons and dropping the pace down to 125bpm, and delivers punishing dancefloor rigidity and bass-immersed sonic force. on black air, killawatt threads tightly coiled syncopations above a grinding 4×4 structure, and delivers a near-cacophonic but ultimately heavy full-sensory overload. the flipside is divided between the churning swell of dark industrial aesthetics on art of discourse, and the moody permutations of reactive technique, where rippling melodic shimmers provide accentuation to its pounding sub-density.

swinging from the chandelier and setting fire to the feast, our original raison detre is back to raise merry hell and we couldnt be happier as accessories to the crime. ark was one of the biggest influences on circus company when it first formed from the freakier corners of the paris scene, and since day one he has been a guiding force in maintaining an uncompromising attitude towards house and techno in all its most flamboyant forms

the swiss techno veteran quenum sweetens our catalogue number 073. we are trying not to go like a bull at the gate with its cock ring on but yes… this one is about sex. the title track on a1 *zone erogene* is a soft voice that salaciously whispers into your ear, while *pornflake* on b1 will set your hormone bells to ringing. the artist, who has made a name for himself through numerous outstanding releases in the past, is not the only remarkable element of this record. upon you is introducing a new concept: vinyl only tracks- meaning that the a2 track of our release *intimate immensity* will only be available on vinyl.

following up his groovin ep, french house producer kool vibes releases his second ep, time & chances, for his own kv label. stepped rhythms, phased hats and soul-grunting vocals in *get u down* make for a lush and playful take on four-four french-tipped house, while *high up* features short sustained rhode stabs and 90s vocal shouts. *time & chances* is a little rougher in its musicality and drum processing, adding some jazz elements, whereas traditional house combos come to the fore in *something i m feelin*, as chords and crashing hats lock in and out of each other with electric flow.

rhythm plates re-emergence through their pressed for time label continues apace on this second release, a split 12 inch that pairs a new cut from matlocks finest with solo productions from ant plate as yse and yse saint laurent. hissy warehouse beats, simple chord vamps and rapturous oh-vocals characterise yses dryish yet muscular 99% invisible, whilst plates yse saint laurent contribution when you love me pairs some r&b vocal sampling with drawn out synths and wispy percussion placed on top of a grooving bassline similar to bernard badies 09 mojuba hit move to the beat. rhythm plates submission, i think i ve dreamed this before adds a warming calmness to the ep, allowing a spirited synth line to traverse its arrangement like a geisha float-walking through an japanese garden of snowy arpeggios and moss covered basslines.

hank jackson is from southern california, but he calls brooklyn home. a couple months ago, when we were stamping alex burkats record in the mister office, we put these songs on. after we picked our eyeballs off the floor, we realized we were listening to more than just face-burning techno. theres something about hanks music that seems to embody the conflict between youth and age, what its like to live in a society where the law can simultaneously & arbitrarily protect you or harm you. but maybe we just think too much. no matter what, we are happy to introduce hank, and we are happy to present you with the deposit ep. we hope you enjoy

new sheffield label shabby doll records makes its debut with nails donks ep. nail is nottingham-based neil tolliday, a producer who spent the last decade creating deep downtempo joy as one half of bent – their debut album *programmed to love* helped ease the worlds ills back in 2000. now, with love for nails solo manoeuvres truly reignited, sheffields shabby doll label is taking the next step with his first new solo material for years. called donks, nails new four-track ep showcases his flawless dancefloor instincts: there is something deliciously seductive about this early hours charmer. one to play when things are getting wonderfully weird… and finally, never4gedit brings back the sunshine with some sweet, melody-flecked disco. with nails vintage house output currently proving to have real staying power, lovers of real british house music eagerly await his new tracks. so if you have got a dark room and a feeling, let nail, shabby doll and donks add a little magic to the night.

from the soul-stirring opening strains of ex friendlys sublime start to the people are looking at you imprint, it is clear that the emerging nottingham-based producer has a gift for music that travels further than mere surface physical response. in a scene littered with disposable vocal turns, the simple poetry of rich medinas narrative that runs through journeyman resonates perfectly with the yearning strings and low-slung, bass-rich groove that come to define this exquisite approach to deep house. jonno & tommo hone in on the more rhythmical elements with their own dub of journeyman as a clearer club-ready intent meets with the psychedelic potency of the aqueous sound effects and that ubiquitous string hook. whether reaching for a more meaningful dimension to add to a set, or to simply drift away on the cradling nature of the music and its message, it is clear from the outset that this is music built to last.

the rothmans label combines an unlikely link between football statistics, some of the best (or worst) haircuts to grace the european version of the game, with jacking drums and acid-based rhythmics. the label dedicates its third ep to french striker dominique rochetea, with a various artists ep as strong as the back four of arsenals 98 fa cup winning side. the nigel winterburn of the release is coyotes without the e, a squelchy and balearic groove with psychedelic vocals not too far off from dj koze mrs bojangles. aimes and scott fraser provide the ep with the composure of tony adams and the brute force of martin keown with their respective synth-led productions the kontemplation of kosmic order and heat for dust, while on the right - a would be lee dixon - drvg cvltvre, supplies the master builder, an ebm and industrious dancefloor workout.

midway through 2013 and multi-faceted brainchild of timo mass and santos, rockets and ponies, rides high with its latest signing, katie cruel. a refreshingly poetic entree for this eclectic label, cruel s city city ep embodies the timeless, classic & intelligent music ethos that mass and santos are so keen to champion.

ron costas brand new ep for trapez features the tracks >bazis puzzle< and >fraaz<, which show his liking for the borderline of house and techno. >bazis puzzle< is a bassline heavy groover that swoons with its kinetic catchiness and polyrhythmic drumming. it is really the amazing sound design, funky and ear catching leads, coupled with sophisticated arrangement that make it a soulful experience for dj and clubbers. >fraaz< is a mesmerizing polyrhythmic dj track, a rhythm rocker, with a fantastic stop and go feeling, a track that constantly builds up tension and releases it in its sensual breaks.

this ep on memento records sees alfonso leon take his production skills to the next level. vinyl compresors soulful melodies and tribal percussions are matched by a deliciously funky and luscious bass line, until acid synth stabs open the way to a low-pitched, creepy, almost manic dark vocal that crawls along the groove.
fabrizio maurizis unique taste resonates hugely in his remix: a computerised, robotic low frequency bounce underpins a loopy rework of the dreary vocal, bringing its more rhythmical and human elements to the fore, marrying them to the relentless beat. outstanding works, both tracks.

played by marco carola, ame, dixon, nick curly, marco resmann, gel abril, stacey pullen, guy j, osunlade, wankelmut, andre galluzzi, chris wood, m.a.n.d.y., mihai popoviciu, tensnake, brendon collins, matt star.its open air and summertime…. with this new movida record you cant do wrong! starting with a brilliant opener from the french tom ayann with his deep, but groovin “strawbassy” track which you could hear already last summer season in marco carolas sets at amnesia / ibiza and his crowd go crazy then. the bavarian kay rauner aka mindrage delivers us an old-school dub-tech-house track with trippin nasa-like samples….if this is no space-techno, i really dont know where you could find it. last but not least our buddy matt star brings us a new track which he made together with movida label boss and good friend michael peter which you kick for 11 minutes to another galaxy. if you love the sound of guy gerber or mathew jonson, you should listen to this one for sure. the summer season can start right now and here….!

limited 12 of very respectful remixes from true bebey fans! quite a line-up! be very very quick.... tip!
