the long term, super-productive story of class-act producers phonique and tigerskin continues with the next installment on ladies & gentlemen. over 4 tracks (and one more digital bonus) the pair explore their passionate, freaky and funky sides in this, perhaps the most functional release on the label yet! phonique throws us two hot ones with sandman and longdrink. the former skips through tripping, tooly and percussive territories while the latter goes all out with addictive rolling bass and hedonistic synth passages. marrying an old-school flavour with high-end, modern moments, phoniques side of this unmissable 12inch is just as strong as his legendary dj sets! tigerskin then takes centre stage with loop back in time and tonys riff. >in time< grows from a rolling drum array into a surging disco fueled killer, that whisks us away to a brighter age with its soaring strings!

egbert provides an energetic yet deep and hypnotic techno track while roger martinez delivers a giorgio moroderesque italo influenced tech houser. on the flip, its kaap de goede hoop who bring some warm deep housey flavours to the mix and arjuna schiks who finishes it off with a big funky percussive groover.

goodvibe records project is an effort to expand the boundaries of hugo, and his favourite producers music, beyond standard nightclub beats. after the bright side, its time to reveal hugos dark side for the second release of his new imprint goodvibe records. hugo takes the listener down the darker alleys of his production and demonstrates to himself that 4/4 beats are made of many different feelings. we are all strongly attracted by the dark side of life, of humor, of music. it doesn’t make us bad persons, but in fact make us as comfortable with ourself as we could possibly be. it lightens the seriousness of subjects dubbed taboo. lets go on the dark side!

part two in the private pressing series of bottin! again crazy limited and extremely good! two hot tracks covering each one side with upbeat italo tracks that takes no prisoners! the funk driven aextacy on the a-side with its sexy vocals leaves not one girl on the side! on the flip there is teak lover with is pure italo drive and bouncing bassline and bombastic synths. disco just don t get much hotter then this. recommended!

firmly focussed on the dancefloor, the three-tracker is highly percussive and sample-ridden at heart. its a record where a sense of drama comes naturally, so to speak - be it the crackle of thunder in >thundercloud< or the brooding atmosphere in >out in the weather<. while the irish landscape is never far away, its the frenetic high-pitch of a children voice that informs the energy of title track >dramatic disposition<. techno with a pulse and heart and a twist!

the restoration crew strikes back with >amber e.p.< , a celebration of the necessary power to feed the machines and to keep them working. live recorded on tape, its pure raw analogue sound, its true dedication to urban dance music. the long track on side a, >andy< is produced by the third side, the infamous berlin based team formed by panorama bar resident steffi (ostgut ton/klakson), marieu and lucretio. an evocative female voice,a powerful rumbling bass, fat beats, hypnotic strings, a relentless pace, an acid taste: simply, a burning spear for the dancefloor. on side b, >thinking right< by lucretio pick up the baton left by infiniti with his later works. full sub-bass deep techno with soul. ground breaking rhythms, filtered vocals and harmonies, a smooth build up on a minimalisitc structure. clear eyes on the future of techno. marieus >the guardian< is an amazing fusion of jazz and deep house with motown influences. the blend of vanguardist chords and exquisite tight drums lead to a joyful experience, the surprising ad-libs spreaded along the track keeps the involvement high during 7 minutes

next strike on mutex from exploit: hypnotic techno groove at its best! great support from the likes of laurent garnier, danny tenaglia, alan fitzpatrick, karotte, markantonio, wehbba and many more!

after his brilliant caprica burning release on connaisseur superieur in summer 2008, ghosts will be chymera second cooperation with us, and as we think, the perfect follow up. the irish-man seems to be a restless fellow.

psycatron are made up of bbc radio dj and producer paul hamill and superproducer dee lievense who has worked for every label under the sun from nrk to plastic city. last year proved to be a calendar full of landmarks as they pushed to the next level with a string of high profile productions being released on some of the world s most respected labels. in addition receiving well deserved props from some of the biggest names in the business. right now we bring you yet another pumping and jumping hit from the amazing irish duo, song titled... she is music. it was destiny for this release to be presented to you by detroit based label planet e. during production of she is music, psycatron had been on the look out for a great vocalist to work with. it just so happens while flicking through their record collection when as if on accidental purpose a dog-eared 12 inch of visions of you appeared and the penny dropped. right there it was evident that blake baxter is the one. blake is respected as genuine firstwave motor city. its an honor to have him on this record.

the journey begins with lose my life. lady blacktronika lays down her soulful vocals, deep bass and moody keys over simple and captivating motorcity beats. deep, groovy and hypnotic, the overall sound is far more than the sum of its parts.

the esteemed mr. nick chacona, he of moodmusic, hector works, and 2020 vision fame, makes his stunning solo debut on wurst. we reckon >slice of life< is the mans finest work to date, the culmination of the past decadeÆs worth of his most excellent musical output. taking in elements from both disco and house, the song fits quite neatly beween the two genres, with its slow burning groove, rich synth textures, and a soaring, ecstatic synth solo to end all synth solos.

the terence trent d arby classic gets its 2010 house-treatment on axwells axtone label.

three guys with a common passion in deep sounds, funky and raw beats meet up with the aim of producing their own and friends stuff. baby move! ep is the first ep of the enfant prodige marco daquino, florence native dreamer who delivers two little gems of disco-house. the main track is a dreamy deep train that will take you over with its gentle strings and wonderful synth, while a voice from a glorious past will funk up the whole thing. on the other side this sound is my sound brings us in a slow-motion deep funk world and will definetely shake your body and make you smile.

you just wouldnt write a weird piano melody, put it through all your distortion pedals then write an epic post-disco jam around it. basically that doesnt work… or at least shouldnt… but das moth (aka: tokyo-dwelling dj, producer and punk bassist tim sullivan) has provided us with proof to the contrary in his debut 12 inch release featuring >moon< and the aptly titled >wrong<. yes it works, and its genius. we wont do any more head-scratching on how to describe this release, except to say that the vinyl is an absolute must-have, also featuring proto-house workout from heavyweights kink & neville watson.

michael boenig who has just released his first 12inch on trapez.michael is a real player on the techno floors in the area around cologne, frankfurt and duesseldorf. a man who can make strong decisions and has simplified the rollercoaster in its original version into a big >peak time< tour de force.

2016 repress ... its been a while since microtrauma dropped their debut ep for microtonal – but the duo wasnt that lazy! remixes for traum, firefly uk and mangue records were done and shaped the definition of their sound. and >spinal ep< finally is the result – three hard and up-building techno tunes hitting all your cells and nerves.

supported by sasse , wolf& lamb, djulz, trickski, chris duckenfield, willie graff, vera, huxley, afrilounge, lee jones, kris wadsworth, yakine, hauke freer, james teej (rekids),.. yes, its the man again, iron curtis! he has been climbing up for the last few months with various top releases (like on mule electronique, hudd traxx, undertones or his dirt crew recordings remix) and this is another proof why iron curtis is a man to watch. its all there: fat basslines, well crafted beats and great synths. real neighbour baaz (no joke, they live door to door) is adding a smooth remix to finish this well balanced pack. go and get 70!

audio family is steadily building on its fanbase and its growing by the day,as we see the backstock is flying out lately. another big addition to the roster in the form of the french techno dj/producer josh love!classical style with some old skool feeling and hints to the old days of tribal techno mixed with catchy synths and pounding beats!

even the last ep >contemporary box< by christian burkhardt was an exceptional experience for every listener. now, after two years of abstinence on oslo, the gifted artist surprises us with his next album >redford.< on the a side christian burkhardt presents us with >scream< a funky track, in which mainly the vocals let shake the dance floor and draws the audience into his spell. >redford< on the b side stands out with its concise and groovy bass line and stands with its hypnotic sound. an experience for the upcoming club season!

hypnotic and mesmeric, the haunting music that brazilian artist babe, terror makes belies its origins: originally conceived as a soundtrack to >cold saturday afternoons< at home and long, late night walks around his hometown of sao paulo, his tracks are not so much songs as compelling, unsettling aural landscapes, lush, cinematic stories rendered as washes of electronica, absorbing influences as disparate as 50s pop, tropicalia and cold wave and distilling them to their ghostly essence

>tuff enuff?< sounds just the way an affirmative answer to the titular question should: lean and muscular, with sinewy bass flexing its way straight through. its a song full of robust underpinnings and carefully placed counterbalances: synths that lustrously shimmer and slowly dissipate, keys that sparkle faintly at the quietest moments. the first single on from the cradle to the rave, the debut album from shit robot – aka marcus lambkin, aka >the godfather of dfa< – is a perfectly executed composition in >homage to chicago house, kraftwerk and gay electronic disco.< the b-side features a wild geese remix of >i found love<, another stellar track from lambkins debut. in the capable hands of djs dan foat and frank tope, the laidback original

the self-titled debut ep from rising san francisco-based artist ooooo (pronounced oh) will see its highly anticipated release on 12inch vinyl and digital formats this september 27th via tri angle. the second release for the upstart label (following the august 16th release of balam acabs see birds), ooooo heralds a new era of shrouded pop music, approaching territories untraveled with an inimitable melodic touch.

joel alter blew us away some months ago with his soul clap release on sweatshop! a much under-rated record which makes things go wild everytime its being dropped. now he is back strong with more straight pumping chicago-inspired tracks that continues alter s forays into the rougher, tougher side of house music. simple and effective tracks that reminds us of early raw house projects of jeff mills with basic elements and phat drum machines. joel alter going back to the basics and pushing the right buttons!

matt john has done it again! the 3rd holographic island is an excellent sequel to the hypercube ep. “baby face one” on the a side, with its tripping arrangement of voices, precise percussive drums and its rolling bassline makes you feel like swimming within an always flowing river of sound. the b side track named the “bleepfactory” has a tense and explosive atmosphere and features a shimmering cloud of microsounds floating over a warm carped of bass frequencies and drum hits

>lay in a shimmer< is taken from panthas recent album >black noise< which has been universally lauded as a groundbreaking, seminal album in its field.

wave music presents its newest release under the milk & honey moniker with additional production by boyd jarvis. the original long version is a beautifully drawn out symphony of strings and jazzy keys over a sultry downbeat and lazy vocoded vocals. consider this gold for fans of 4 hero and all lounge-core/downtempo fanatics. the flip however is boyd jarvis uptempo dance floor phenomenon. inserting a heavy and pumping bass line and adding xylophone arpegios alongside congas, organ synth and space atmospherics make for one wild galactic journey. think kevin yost remixed by salt city orchestra and you are right on target. slamming!

for bass cultures 10th release d julz welcome back gez varley, aka mr. g. having first worked his recently released >still here (get down)< artist album on rekids, mr. g now makes his full debut on bass culture with the >extended pain< e.p. two devastatingly good originals in the form of >sunday blues< and >jbs< sees the g man revisiting those classic, deeper sounds, whilst delivering the fresh and upfront tastes as only he can. repaying the remix favour for bc003 is esperanza boss and bass culture favourite, kasper. getting to grips with >sunday blues< the madrid man turns the smooth mood of the original on its head. industrial sized beats, blinding rides and a preciously warped synth line, give a whole new face to already beautiful original

mweselees arkestra label drops its second bomb with this rnb laden heavy hitter from spaniard, noaipre!

yes people, like dillinja once said, its time to get grimey! at the end of september, the man, the myth, the legend, mr terror danjah blesses rwina with the reinforced ep. a storming 3 tracker of top class grime for the connoisseurs, the ep is fully equipped with lazershifting bass-terrorism and high-end sonic manipulation.the lead track,reinforced,switches from sweet but dark r&b vibes to classic acid-esque rave touches, guaranteeing a proper reaction on the floor. peanut punch, a collaboration with regular sparring-partner d.o.k., sprinkles neon highlights over a minimal, bass-led beat, while the ep finishes up with stomp test - 4 to the floor club music designed to kill any dance. rwina & terror danjah - a perfect fit.

support from joris voorn, pete tong, ivan smagghe, wally lopez, toca disco, brothers vibe, blake baxter, shur-i-kan, deetron, paulo mojo, james zabeila, sasha, john digweed, nick warren, uner, butch, ... with his immortal changes album still riding high, and babiczstyle 001 in the locker, robert returns with his next ep of exclusives, the feeling ep. babiczstyle has been launched by robert as a platform for him to release some of the large archive of work that he has written for his live sets. i see the label as a platform, where i release only my own music and collaborations. i do this to have a platform with the highest possible audio quality and have a place for me and my friends to release our music. - robert babicz after the main-room wonderment s and euphoric soundscapes of the remote kiss ep, robert delves deeper and delivers three cuts of warm, elegant house. as ever each track serves up the sonically expansive yet completely intimate feel that only babicz can deliver. this is no more evident than on don t give up . its funky 90 s esq bassline is a foundation for his trademark synths and keys to work their magic upon…

its a back-to-the-80s vibe that has no boundaries, riviere explains. if somethings cheesy, its cheesy. i have no problem with that, so long as it moves you!

the third release of the new label >lets get lost< which was started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this third release is by uk producer extrodinaire leo zeros remix of the uks florence & the machine. this leo zero remix was released on only cd single and itunes in 2009. when i received this remix from the agent of leo zero i fell in love with it immediately. it was one of the biggest tracks for me in the last year but was never released on vinyl. leo zero reconstructed the aesthetic alternative rock (like a pumping cocteau twins!?) to very emotional house music. its simply good music and not only for the dance floor. greg wilson has edited it into a semi instrumental version which has never been released on any format. this release is official bootleg for limited press! dont miss it!!

its been 18 months since our first nang release, d-pulses >more<. nestled on that release was an extra ep track called >highway to saturn<. much to our delight it turned out to be a bit of a gem. when it featured on the tirk 02 and kitsune ponystep / jerry bouthier compilations we knew we were all onto something. (cue the overdrive and the interstellar vocal.) slovenian-based, us singer, hannah mancini, provides those cosmic vocals, ably recorded by sare havlicek in sunny ljubljan. after a sly re-titling of the track (to avoid confusion with the original the name has been extended to >on a highway to saturn<) its on to the obligatory over-the-top nang remix package...first up is a new version from d-pulse for those long summer nights. their >australian shore reversion< mix slows down the groove to a balmy evening by noosa shores pace. space-rock, guitar solos, smouldering synths and lazy rhythms all combine to make this one for the beach house. sare havlicek adds a couple of mixes of his own. keeping things hi-energy he goes for the disco jugular with his trademark stabby synths and tight production. nang newcomers, proper heat, strip things back and go for a slow-grooving baltic-disco chugger. rounding off the remix package is japanese based jan ken po (aka max essa). he delivers a dance floor friendly version with a big and bold walking bass riff and tasteful synths

dance disorder (aka baby g and robin crafoord) have lived up to their reputation with an extremely successful bpitch debut. the disco smash >zusammen<, with its epic breadth and italo dance roots, has already had the chance to set many an after party in motion.

berghain resident marcel fengler is one of the frontmen of raw and forward pushing techno. judging by his previous three eps for the label, its clear to see how fenglers work revolves around a love for tough, angular and edgy tools for the floor. this fourth offering continues the energy with three jacking, factory-forged tracks leading us further down his mysterious path.

gunnar stiller has always been known for producing dance floor >destroyers<, even if >far from okay< sounds a bit like a floor wax accident theres no need for the timid raver soul to get worried about slipping and falling. soft accords sedate the mind, the bass pumps in the adrenaline and a voice softly whispers that everything is going to be just fine…all you need to do is dance. when the janitor loko mops over the uy 038 floor with his remix you can even walk over it on the highest of high heels. it does in fact, get a bit rougher when the lights go out on >some kind of weird< and the smoke machine goes starts pumping. thats when its >black piste< time and thats no place for heidi klum or techno beginners…but who wants to be a model anyway, right?

influenced by distorted electro sounds, to orchestral,jazz and blues pieces such as shostakovich and tom waits,he presents his first record,3 twisted and rocking tracks on archibell records.the first track right in the spotlight is >tokamak< a track with a dark kick and grind, featuring layered synths and vocal samples that break and drop with attitude.no time for intros this track hits hard and fast and leaves unexpectedly. next up is >g.i.g.a.s<, defined by its epic breaks, driving melody and sudden mood swing.perhaps the less sinister track out of the three, probably to give you a break for whats coming up next. unlike tokamak, nyxstarts with a slow baleful, classically influenced intro filled with suspense. eventually dropping into a deep atmospheric hard hitting groove. evil rhythm crafted with precise microsampling.

they are back! the parisian duo formed by cosmic neman (also herman duenes drummer) and etienne jaumet, continues as a ufo his incredible odyssey on the indie scene. an odyssey in the form of meteoric rise. zombie zombie claims since its inception his passion for krautrock and some form of cinematic music. the zombie zombie inevitably evokes bands such as neu, silver apples, suicide, goblin or ... john carpenter soundtrack ... and the inevitable happened!

stroboscopic artefacts rip into autumn with a masterful split vinyl. sa006 sees jonas kopp taking to the a-side with the punishingly good >alkitran< and the flip side picks up where the monad series left off with markus suckuts >vary<. >alkitran< writhes hissing and spitting into existence. snares lash across the opening, to be replaced by subaqueous grumbles and whirling from above. the title >alkitran> begs no translation, the tracks sticky, black palette and viscous textures effortlessly communicate the notion of tar. markus suckuts >vary> takes the opposite tact, his dark tones are built amid structures that are suffused with light and dappled with the grindingly ecstatic. this is superbly elegant techno that has refused to sacrifice any of its hardness in order to achieve elegance.

the >captain deutschland serie continues on the vinyl only format and is limited to 300 copies, all hand numbered.
dandy jack is well known for his multiple collaborations. its now about time to lay them down on wax.
the second chapter is a honest, loud and direct ode to the joy of queen bass. if you are searching for deep house and abstract minimal you should better pass your way.
dandy jack teams up with geneva fellows lad and quenum on the a side for what could be described as a tremendous and heavy ride into the catacombs of techno. sonja moonear has a slightly happier and smoother answer on the b side and challenges us with a long and percussive intro that leads into a melancholic twist. quenum and lad arent new to the electronic music and have been active over a decade. they have already been working together for labels like num and thema. sonja is dandys partner in crime as junction sm and ruta5s half head.
