for its second kiss, stolen kisses reached out to bnjmn, one of 2011s most promising artists. with nimble synth melodies that leap over burbling sub-bass with the grace and poise of ballet dancers, >nightvision< quickly distinguishes itself as more accessible but equally detailed as the tracks on the uk producers breakthrough album, >plastic world<. it is paired with a remix by fellow uk producer andy stott, a core member of the modern love family. fresh off his revelatory >passed me by< 2x12, stott drags >nightvision< into his lair to refashion it as a gritty, slo-mo beatdown. his sonic gremlins gnaw new textures into familiar progressions and set off sub-bass clusterbombs, daring djs to unleash the remix on a sizable sound system.

justice, the french duo formed by gaspard auge and xavier de rosnay, is the band of a whole generation. when the two friends were still bright students in graphic design, in 2003 they made justice a place to experiment a hybrid genre between music and image, which blends pop and electronic borders, and showcases the talents of 2 fascinating passionate pop culture craftsmen, bored with hierarchy. they met pedro winter who had just founded his label ed banger records, he immediately signs them after listening to >we are your friends< which, with its joyful and vitamin-enriched electro beats combined with exhilarating voices, became the hymn of a whole generation and one of the most important tracks of the year 2000, celebrating a reconciliation of pop music and the dancefloor.

hotflush presents a special collaboration between two modern-day techno innovators: paul woolford and psycatron. both maintaining an influential discography on labels such as planet e, intimacy, tresor, and bedrock, they have come together to produce >stolen<, a nine-minute techno excursion. utilising relentless, throbbing percussion that sizzles over growling, acidic synthesis and carefully placed samples, its presented in three distinct versions, introducing filter-swept chords in the dub mix, and an even deeper submersion in the second dub mix that perfectly eclipses the raw temperament of the original.

for 100% pures 74th release we welcome emmanuel.

2nd release of leo zero on lets get lost. his remix of the florence and the machine was highly acclaimed. new leo zero remix for super talented teenaged rock band >bombay bicycle club< is simply brilliant stuff.this is good way of pop stuff. when i listened this remix,i thought its like a disco version of style council. on b side, rune lindbaek edit is bit alternative for djs. dont miss this great remix tracks.

dance music legend chez damier dusts down this past murmur hit by commander in chief geddes and mic newman to produce two house versions. chez damiers alternative remix is already setting the dancefloor of the panorama bar ablaze due to solid support from the ever excellent cassy. with its rolling groove, shuffling percussion and tough drums it looks set to be a staple in many more djs boxes over the following months. chezs flute mix loosens up the percussion and injects a slightly deeper musical feeling and makes it a more than worthy alternative choice.

alexkid has been releasing top drawer house music on labels such as f communications, rekids and ovum since 1997. with over 75 remixes on a labels such as simple, room with a view, get physical and g stone, its fair to say this man brings a certain level of quality to proceedings as this, his debut for freerange, will confirm

hdr002 takes us straight to 90s house territory with four new edits from nycs marcos cabral. the a-side opens with >sym phon<, an anthemic filtered piano house jam that opens up wide and swallows all in its path. a2 gives us >better think again< with sticatto chords and twinkling keys in a jersey-esque house sound. the b-side hits with >in the sea<, starting off with a giant slow tribal beat and then morphs into a psychedelically swirling synth workout. b2 wraps things up with >get get get< turning our ears to old school chicago house. rolands tr-707 lays the percussion down while the chant of >get in the groove< repeats into infinity

connan mockasins willingness to toy with the edges of musical convention is showcased to startling effect in >faking jazz together<, its typically opaque title belying a gorgeous, leisurely amble through an enchanted forest of lush psychedelia, complete with dreamy guitar licks, liquefied salsa rhythms and mockasins trademark alien vocals, sounding like a transmission from another cosmos, ghostly yet strangely affecting all at once. tom furse from the horrors, meanwhile, extrapolates the beats from the original and relocates them in a wide-eyed, sprawling dub epic akin to screamadelica-era primal scream, and renowned german producer (and kompakt lynchpin) michael mayer builds a propulsive, tropical-flavoured anthem around mockasins unusual vocals, with delightfully unpredictable results. even better, you can see connan mockasin in glorious live action this autumn, when he and his band embark on their own headline tour of the uk, playing dates across the country at the end of september. having already toured with warpaint in the summer, as well as scoring the first short film from acclaimed video director kinga burza, and collaborating with the idiosyncratic likes of charlotte gainsbourg and sam eastgate of late of the pier, it is certain that the eccentric pleasures of connan mockasin arent going to stay a cult secret for too much longer.
comes on transparent yellow vinyl.

crosstown rebels turn up the heat with luca bacchettis sensational >tango<, a latin-infused half step monster of a record setting dancefloors ablaze with its raw passion and infectious charm, presented here with an inspired >voodoo rewix< from venezuelan producer eduardo castillo. expect to hear this everywhere in the ensuing months, its going to be huge

2 track 7 inch vinyl complete with locked grooves courtesy of eglos chief scientist of sound - floating points. check! with each release the young mr shepherd seems to go deeper and further left as he combines a dancefloor aesthetic with his sonic explorations through sound and colour… its weird science brought to life in the most beautiful of ways.

following the smash hit >summer beach edition compilation< and dinkys positively carnivalesque >time to lose< ep, visionquests latest collection showcases the label at its curatorial best. offering up three elegant tracks from across the broad spectrum of dance-oriented electronica. the inspiring juxtaposition of david k, my favorite robot and mirko loko together on the fall/winter collection works to create a remarkably unified whole, a versatile remarkable collection for the ensuing darkening months.

after their superb release last year with >dinosaurs<, that came backed with two heavy paul woolford mixes, south german stars alex flatner & lopazz return to poker flat with three new essential cuts. >this< may sound like a curious title, yet the addictive low-slung, electronic funk within will have you chanting >i just wanna love you baby…< in no time! smooth, slinky production comes hand in hand with producers as experienced as this pair! the mysterious future-disco-funk magic of >hapbee< keeps the party stomping as a whole host of vintage gear flavours this cosmic beatdown. rolling and driving forward with relaxed, summery intent it is a seriously positive tune for those smiling, warm feeling moments. >its< offers a similarly challenging title but musically there is no messing around, with a shaking, simmering slice of modern funk characterised by tonal synth play, percussive splashes and echoed vocal madness - all dripping with funk!

following up the scorching debut release another night, deep&disco recordings sidesteps the sophomore slump with elisco, an infectious electro-funk groover that both cements the labels commitment to quality and expands their musical range.
a chunky nu-disco track with hints of metro area and a catchy vocal hook, the seeds of elisco were planted in the early 2000s when label founder jkriv and lou teti were sharing a loft space in williamsburg, brooklyn. after an afternoon of cowbells and synths, the skeleton of the track had its shape, and their other roomates girlfriend was enlisted to sing the hook. she had no singing experience (or rhythmic sense) to speak of, but somehow it all worked and elisco was born! although its always been a personal favorite of the producer duo, the song remained shelved for almost 7 years until they dusted it off in early 2011 and readied it for release on the newly minted deep&disco recordings.
providing remixes for the vinyl release are the legendary leftside wobble, who turns in an extended and bpm-d-up version quite true to the original, taking the machine vibes to the next level with added loops and fx. brightons alphabet city brings the disco-boogie sensibility to the package with a deep mix that features jkriv on live bass, and whiskey disco regular sleazy mcqueen rounds it out with an indie dance stomper.

its only natural that martyn has risen above the cliches and pitfalls of the vacuous dj world. over his 15 years djing, 6 years producing, and 4 years a&ring his 3024 imprint, the holland-born / washington dc-based artist has forged his own path every step of the way. his multi-leveled career has kept balance with a focus on art, and his every sacrifice is preserved in an endless dedication to music. as a continual record buyer and beat seeker, martyn is a beacon of hope through leagues of passion-less djs and producers, the ghost people: plastic, hollow shells that focus only on the in-the-now grooves or keeping in line with trends.
double 12 inch white vinyl in gatefold cover, including code for free digital download of the full album.

dresdens cult label uncanny valley returns with the charming catalogue number six. following up jacob korns first artist ep for the label its c-beams turn now to continue the series of artist eps. break sls and sandrow ms project can be referred to as a true labels child. musically, both artists got to know each other only when the label was founded. for >strollin< they lend the vocal talents by tina slotta who is associated with uncanny valley as well. the result is an irresistible house-jam. easy vibrant beats are complemented by birds twittering, warm keys and tinas carefree lyrics. jackmates remix toughen things up and transfers the tracks with mighty detroit-chords into a real monster for the dancefloor. the slightly murkier >scrapyard< takes its strength out of the interaction between its vehement beats and the c-beams-typical sound excursions. finally, the instrumental of >strollin< rounds up the ep.

we are more than happy to present the second part of the remixes of kollektiv turmstrasses rebellion der träumer album. the first part with interpretations by jimpster and robag wruhme already created a big buzz and we hope to continue like this with the uneins remixes by our scandinavian connaisseur darlings of norway and living legend aril brikha. the a-side of part 2 features a version of uneins by our oslo based homies and connaisseur protégés of norway. they take the original parts and blend them according to their own voodoo-tech vision. the result is both catchy and extremely danceable. the b-side offers one of the rare remixes by swedish techno soul wizard aril brikha who delivers an epic monster. is is techno? is it house? is it deep house? it is everything and nothing. but one thing we know its simply timeless! expect more remixes in 2012

repress 2021 - kahn blazed his way in to the consciousness of the uk underground back in february this year with his debut release for punch drunk. his new 12 inch marks a return to the label, fully asserting his position at the forefront of bristols new generation of producers.
lead track >illy< lures you with its colourful immediacy, before torpedoing you headfirst in to a torrent of tumultuous bass and psychedelic riffing. flipside, tehran takes you a straight back to the old school of heavyweight subsonic steppers. immersive. stripped. deadly. powerful ammunition direct to the front of your record crate.

local actions seventh vinyl release is the official follow-up to t. williams and terri walkers 2010 anthem >heartbeat<, and comprises three of t. williams heaviest instrumental tracks to date. >break broke< is the sound of williams getting darker, with synths that glow like an overcooked power grid and one of the most ruff-neck drops you will hear anywhere this year. >go in< is for the djs, a palette cleanser that is tailor-made to mix long and deep, but its >analog tour< that is arguably this records stand-out – opening with a two-and-a-half minute intro of acid ambience, electro claps and super-heavy 808 kicks, and climaxing as a full-on 303 hydra.

black tokyo sessions 2 leads off with legendary other half of lfo gez varley the g-mann remixes the aux 88 classic shadow dancing. g-mann mix is a certified club banger with nonstop effects over the pulsating basic channel type string layered with those ohhhh so beautiful detroit strings.

aux 88 gives its fans yet another treat the original mix previously not available on vinyl!

having once said that daily life as well as adventurous trips across the globe were the source of her inspiration when making music, its obvious which recent event in the world of anja schneider formed the basis of her new ep on mobilee records. whilst she takes a well earned pause and enjoys a very new lease of life, >hello boy!< will hit the stores in october. for this release, she joined lee jones in the studio to make something with a twist. with a strong anja schneider flavour, title track >hello boy!< cleaverly transposes a real sense of excitement and waiting on to the dance floor, with soft mysterious chords and a steady build that works itself into a drop. >rio bravo< offers a relief with more of an airy head-spinning feel and >let me out< … well, its done now ,)

recorded in the immediate aftermath of his last ep >passed me by<, this new doublepack from andy stott features six new productions that are more desolate and exposed than anything on its predecessor. the opening >submission< tumbles into being with layers of washed-out digital revolutions, creating an artificial landscape thats quite at odds with the analogue machinations that follow - yet somehow rendering the alienated feel of this material perfectly. >posers< nudges its way into being abruptly and embeds another squashed funk variant thas all low-lit neon and growling textures, awkwardly shuffling into a more robust 4/4 template suffused with sparkling percussion and disembodied vocals. >bad wires< is the centrepiece of the ep, a relentless percussive cluster*ck that belies its slow tempo with a fearless rhythmic attitude. its as immersive and narcotic as anything ever produced by stott - peeling away one layer after another with each repeated listen. >we stay together< (part one) was the first track written for the ep and offers a more spacious narrative and a more sparkling, hazy palette - culminating in a beautifully frayed central hook thats somehow in keeping with the vhs aesthetic of both jamal moss and ferris bueller. >cherry eye< tumbles deep into a darkened hole before ep closer >cracked< turns up, fuelled by an odd mixture of adrenalin and sorrow to send you on your way.... buzzing and forlorn

b&b makes his debut on foot & mouth. after great success on crosstown, rebellion & hot creations, this hot new producer drops the tempo and creates four killer r&b inspired edits. perfect for that end of summer vibe. using some familiar hip-hop licks to great house effect these edits are sure to be huge.. rock them like their hot!!

following their first release, which featured four brand new artists, the guys over at disconnected are back with dscntd 002.
this time its a full ep from chocky, which features a remix from brooklyns krts. the dscntd releases resist the modern addiction to genre pigeon-holing, instead they focus on pushing a variety of interesting and emotive sounds. this five track ep captures the rich and varied musical inspirations of the mysterious man simply know as chocky. first up is >down with idris<, a beautifully, blissed-out slice of electronica. krts supplies a dusty, broken remix with a deep, creeping progression, these two versions really compliment each other. on the flip you will find the jazzy >can i mither you<, suspenseful but really groovy house music. finishing the whole thing off is the deep as you like >frizzy fuzz<, lovely drums and synths, pure atmosphere. and keep an ear out for chockys interlude/dj tool >ripp off<, it pays homage to his love of sampling...
300 single pressed, hand stamped & individually numbered records.

a debut release for both band and label, parisian duo paradis bring two eloquently produced tracks to beats in space in the form of the >parfait tirage / la ballade de jim< 12 inch (bis001). admirers from afar of dj tim sweeneys weekly on air institution of 12 years (from which the label takes its name), paradis submitted demos hoping they might hack it for some play time. reared on classical and jazz, turned young hip hop rebels, turned teen club crawlers, and then university machine tinkerers, simon meny & pierre rousseau grew out of genre jumping while young enough to stay ahead and settle into music making centered around melody and emotion.

the first release on sighas own our circula sound imprint sees the hotflush artist shrug off the dubstep tag altogether with a 12 inch of dark dubbed out techno. marcel dettmanns remix of sighas own >early morning lights< sits on the a side. taking things deeper than one would typically expect, dettmann marries his own sound palette with that of the original perfectly. clocking in around the 130bpm mark, its mutating broken rhythms and throbbing bottom end will appeal to more adventurous dubstep heads as well as the techno purists. sighas eyes down old school tinged >over the edge< sits on the b side. clicks, claps and 909 hats roll over a layer of shifting dubbed out soundscapes and booming square bass.

marcel fengler launches his own label – imf (index marcel fengler) with a rich, experimental and varied 3 track ep. through his numerous releases for ostgut ton and mote- evolver, or remixes for artists like skudge or perc, fengler has built his own distinct modern techno sound. introducing the ep , setting the tone and announcing its intentions, >knavish< is a thick, textural and spacious piece of sound design that careers across the audio spectrum with stunning fluidity. like a seductive opening chapter, it draws us in, yet leaves much for our burning curiosity to discover. moving on further off-centre, the churning ten minute adventure of >hidden empire< begins its rumbling ascent in the paranoid depths of fenglers more subversive electronic language. fusing the attitude of punk with the metallic ring of industry, its lively synth play and heavy forward stomp make this a challenging and indeed rewarding find. featured on his new >berghain 05< mix, >sphinx< takes a straighter path into the kind of sensory techno that marcel is well known for presenting on the berghain floor. funky, playfully aggressive, heavily defined and certainly cosmic, a concerto of outer-space tones, static and filtered waves join the racing percussion in tense unison

autoreply offshoot stuga returns with a highly playable 12 inch that is perfect for the outdoor party season. for this release we welcome back ben rourke who has previously recorded for autoreply, his blue ep collaboration with friend pier bucci having sold out instantly and going on to receive critical acclaim. his tracks effortlessly build without the aid of well known formulas always using high end sound design but never forgetting that house and techno music is essentially meant for dancing. >tahiti< is one of those tracks thats perfect for the big room or after-party alike featuring bouncy percussion, an analogue bass-line that will properly drive the sound system and one of the most infectious synth-sequences of the year. in fact the mans developed a whole new genre, desert island techno! >sharpie< explores the deeper realms of dub driven techno with a very liquid approach just so slightly tipping its hat to the 90s detroit vibe and still very much aimed at the floor. enjoy.

flying donkey music, after the first two releases by samuel l session and kirk degiorgio got the respect as one of the new more interesting labels in the underground stream. as third release we can appreciate the homeboy claudio mates m2g4: he shows us something new and different, which is hard to catalogue, just a techno/house track or a simple piece of electronic music. tribute mix by claudio mate is a perfect journey in deep, dark, emotional, emotive lands within an amazing epic ending with guitars played by luca petrosino (an italian guitar talent). orlando voorn really doesnt need any introduction: his deep divine mix is the perfect mix and balance between raw grooves, melodies and solid bassline like his usual trademark. its perfect for dancefloor people who loves berghain or fabric. david hausdorf is a classical musician from the munich philharmonic orchestra but he is also well known for his old works on labels such as synaptic waves, styrax leaves, salo, lifetime music.

having spent most of the summer roaming across the globe destroying everything in his path, the creature that goes by the name of totally enormous extinct dinosaurs has returned – and hes bigger and stronger than ever before...

edit king leo zero returns with something very special to kick off a new run of no frills dancefloor bombs that have been tried and tested over the summer on a packed worldwide dj schedule from stockholm to tokyo and beyond. first up is an intensive slice and dice exercise on probably the best track from definitely the best band in the world: the clash. leo takes their most disco friendly outing >the maginificent dance< famously spun by mr levan at the garage - and with the more dubby rare levan version he homes in on looped 1 bar sections, skating along to create a new arrangement - added to the brew are bootleg recordings form the clashes infamous live show at nycs bonds ballroom, and even some baseline demos digitally siphoned from people practicing guitar along to the clash on youtube!….. we are left with is an epic labour of love edit that has already found its way into the a-listers record boxes - from derrick carter to laurent garnier who are all spinning this solid as a rock dub disco bomb. on the flip we have a classy house re-work of al hudson & partners >music< which sticks a chi-town kick and snare up its rear end along with some serious sub bass, and in the middle things get all wobbly with some trademark leo zero space echo rides and before we are quickly warped back-in and onto the floor… big with a load of top jocks too including severino of horse meat disco fame.

italian producer simone fedi, hailing from tuscany, takes things to a whole new level on this third release on eskimo recordings. >bitter devotion< is a vocal pop gem with a balearic tinge, but its bittersweet vocals and the addictive melody will haunt you. for this tune fedi, a multi-instrumentalist with a knack for pop music and a soft spot for vintage gear, joined forces with a mysterious singer named lola rent, and this turns out to be a winning team.
bitter devotion comes with a rather spectacular remix package, ewan pearson (known from his remix work for goldfrapp, chemical brothers, hot chip, moby, franz ferdinand and depeche mode to name a few) gave it the royal treatment. as an additional treat, welcome stranger aka thomas bullock (rub n tug, laughing light of plenty, map of africa, whatever we want records) has indulged in a psychedelic >bitter devotion< dub, analogue and live... just the way we like it.

there is a fantastic quality to gavin russoms work, an otherworldliness that is subtle yet palpable. its heard-or felt, more precisely-in all of his projects, including the crystal ark, black meteoric star and his numerous recordings with delia gonzalez. all of russoms sonic astral projections, with their textures and atmospheric layers, demonstrate his astounding production skills and modular wizardry. as dfas studio engineer, he was entrusted with the hefty task of maintaining the labels analog stockade. russom has built custom gear for the likes of james murphy, black dice and holy ghost!, has remixed artists including juan maclean, cut copy and caribou, and filled out the wonderful music of lcd soundsystem. so its no wonder that russoms newest solo outing, night sky, reflects the talent and experience accrued in all those roles with both stunning precision and audible clarity. add patience to the above list as well.

the first release of this brand new italian label - soundpark -includes a great original mix by one of the most important dj & producer of the scene: mihalis safras.
this ep is further enhanced by the remixes of stefano lotti, dave manuel and alessandro sensini (cecille). enjoy the title track - memory loss- and its three different versions.

this ep was formed with a concept in mind that involves a natural phenomenon occurring in various / different fields of science and nature - anti-parallelism. as the word suggests, anti-parallelism describes the natural relationship between two occurrences, objects or even non-material things, that are virtually identical and yet oriented in different directions. during the time the music was made i was researching natural phenomenons like this one. naturally, this became part of the nucleus, fabric and inspiration for this work. in genetics, for example, if the >antiparallelity< is corrupted during the process of dna replication it is called a mutation. this mutation can be anything from totally inconsequential to critical for the survival of the whole living organism. a double helix of dna contains two helixes, that are naturally anti-parallel to one another. in physics this could be two of the same objects moving through space and time in opposite directions - just like the instruments or parts of a beat in electronic music production. so metaphorically speaking, anti-parallelism holds a natural balance to keep it safe and stable. although this might sound all very conceptual and theoretical this music is obviously just what it is - it is not intended to teach math, physics or biology in any way. the above mentioned aspect has simply found its way through my head and might have led to a piece of music that somehow, at least for me, is connected to these thoughts. it might evoke something very different for you
