another limited edtition ep (300 copies!)vinyl is the answer, dont miss it! after the big success of the first part of underground warriors ep, heres the second part, definitely more dub than the first one, except for fabio monesis track, a very uptempo, energetic track that captures a perfect 90s feel, emphasized by the raw sound of fabio monesis machines. the ep includes also the finnish deymare, recently released on local talk, morris audio, hizou.jack the love has a deeper and more chicago house feel to the last two tracks, it has nice jazzy instrument samples and a nice subtle vocal. again this track has a perfect 90s feel.
dont be afraid present spargel trax, a two part series of vinyl-only, coloured, hand-stamped 12 inches designed to celebrate the dual themes of great seasonal music and great seasonal spargel. contributing tracks across the two 12 inches are some of our favourite artists currently making house music. from established artists like disco nihilist, andy blake, sound species and james duncan to up and coming artists like david joseph from cologne, hodge from bristol, untitled-w from st. petersburg, for whom this is the first outing on wax, and scott fraser from glasgow. no clues though as to which is which, you will have to just listen to the tracks and hear for yourself! proof that 2012 is a great time for music, a great time for wax and a great time for spargel.
makam what ya doing: the hague based producer makam definitely didnt see jack play, simply because hes waaaay to young to be bragging about the history of house music. nevertheless mister guy blanken delivers a stunning anthem in the best of warehouse and music box traditions. keep those 909 rim shots coming please, but make way for the irresistible breakdown. makam what ya doing (funkineven) more 909 sweetness comes from london based steven julien aka eglo-related vintage fetishist funkineven. while treating the original with respect, he adds some analogue acid dirt to it. in an everything but subtle way, that is. peak time stuff!
hand stickered white labels feat chicago cassette tape/reel splices! it opens with slamming the box, a hypnotizing, slow burning, excursion to tripped out places reaching over 16 minutes. jack the floor (edit t21) on the flip is a dark synth experiment & whistle on & on gets seductive!
from its tentantive beginnings, this monster of a track quickly gains momentum. as the driving bass accelerates, megaphonic vocals kick in to create a future classic by two of technos masters. free yourself sees phil kieran and green velvet doing what they do best. phil laces straight bass with sci-fi sounds of hiss, plink and echo landing just on the right sideof weirdness. green velvet delivers lucid and soul searching lyrics in his signature hypnotic drawl

welcome return for this very sought-after rare electro 12 inch from tiny harlem label express records. big with the cosmic crowd as well as on the early hiphop scene, this is an extremely cool low-slung synth-heavy electro groover with a hypnotically smooth lead vocal, given a sharp percussive edge by the rattling congas and ticky-time chorus. written at a time in rap music history when the introduction of synthesizer technology created a wild flurry of creativity, this futuristic track by barry michael cooper (who went on to write the screenplays for movies new jack city and above the rim) was teletrons only ever release. film s gain was sadly musics loss as this was, and still is, a boundary-pushing, floor-filling monster. dont sleep!

following a busy year of stylistically varied releases under various guises on his own magic + dreams label, ralph cumbers delivers his first long-player for punch drunk. with a title lifted from the lysergic prose of a brian aldiss novel and grooves informed by the loopier, more martian aspects of chi-town jack and detroit techno-soul, >reeling skullways< marks a subtle, but highly alluring development in the evolution of cumbers primary recording project. long-term bass clef fans may be surprised by the lack of samples on this album, and in many ways it follows a similar creative process to his recent work as some truths, with most rhythms and textures sculpted from the raw, elemental waveforms of modular analogue synthesis. but with tighter editing, contagious melodies and perfectly positioned drum patterns, the end results reveal bass clef simultaneously at his most stripped-back, focused, playful, complicated, emotional and irresistibly groovy. unfettered by fashionable production tricks, imbued with a timeless machine-soul heart, >reeling skullways< is one of those albums you will be reaching for again and again.
swiss producer echo 106 who 1st appeared on the music from mathematics vol. 7 release sees an ep with 4 outstanding tracks. the title track calls upon the spirits of chicagos jack past & is followed by copy ins del, a deep acid filled cut.

nice price deal !!! vibrations are fast gaining a reputation as britains finest exponent of vintage-leaning, analogue jack music, and this ep from the mysterious last floor hotel is another winner to add to their list of fine releases.
originally from the usa and now relocated to valencia spain, eric estornel is making incredible leaps and strides releasing some of the most devastating yet unique music in the industry. his sudonyms maetrik, mariel ito, plaex, and now maceo plex are under great demand for the rich dynamic production and unique blend of techno, house, funk, and electro that only eric can devise.
justin berkovi normally should not need an introduction, being involved in multiple techno-projects in the past, and still standing strong nowadays. his track old timer reflects his musical personality and history and is being reinterpreted by another techno-historian, aubrey. on the b-side newcomers jack dixon and henning baer make their introduction on other heights with two total different interpretations which are to become oldtimers themselves.
two american heroes team up to deliver the straight prison-funk, and they ve got the tattoos to prove it. somebody call the department of homeland security. its no secret that kris wadsworth and butane have both done hard time. in this case, a simple mutual respect lead to the decision that this record must be made. and so here it is. three tracks of uncompromising raw attitude. nothing premeditated here. just honest,warehouse-style jack-mode techno, done by two of the midwests finest. some djs over-sell themselves with contrived media stunts, fancy pr schemes, and little substance. youll find none of that here. we are just a couple of convicts who rip raw techno tracks. we speak through our music.
huge remix action of two previous releases on the very excellent japanese life on recordings run by tearz. here we have his two original tracks islero and miura remixed by stephane signore, s.p.t, tim baker and stereo jack all in a floor-filling club techno style but each putting their own individual stamp on the track.
nice price deal !!! the record opens with origins, and we hit the ground running with an obese bass-line dipping through a sparse rhythm .this is a deeply touching jack-attack, infused with stripped-down, cold-wave hysterics and touched by that very distinct meschi charm. science-fiction synth-lines smash through a rugged beat, wailing at you with such force that you cant help but take notice.
gene hunt takes a classic warehouse theme and turns it into an almost anthemic, synth laden chicago jack release. easily his best release in years. tip!!
after a long time we are about to release on vinyl again. the duet kanzler & wischnewski are coming with two new tracks that are forcing to join the party and to dance crazy through the latino-mexican guitar and vocal elements. who doesn t want to feel a little bit like mr. banderas on the dancefloor and to let yourself go with the flow of the beats? with the track la bruja (the witch) the duo provides a special aura with slightly mystic vocals and a driving sound. in order to have a full package, lizzara & tatsch and stereo jack contributed their remixes, each with an own style this rounds up this great release!
mike shannon steps up to the cityfox ltd plate and squeezes the jack juice on his latest offering for cityfox ltd entitled foxology. its a 3 track session of deep jazzy basslines and smooth cuts. we start things off with >foxology feat. flowing<, a twistedly deep smoothy of a house cut with shannons signature shuffle groove and warped dynamic basses featuring some wicked blues harp action from amsterdams flowing. foxologys b-side is home to >foxwell< and >zukunftstrasse<, the former being a rather hot number bubbling with bouncing bass, whereas >zukunftstrasse< is even more laid back and down tempo, while still playing your mind with its sonic insight to the distant future.
more vinyl remixes from psychemagik with the long awaited official > dancehall days< remix sanctioned by jack hues from wang chung himself. jack liked psychemagiks re-edit of dance hall days so much he contacted the duo and offered them the parts for an official remix. the result is a monster dancefloor friendly beast that is true to the original edit but with some extra magik! limited edition white vinyl release limited to only 500 copies, dont sleep! psychemagik stand out from the crowd with high production values and innate musicality. i usually find remixes tedious, but this takes you on some off-world journey very cool. jack hues (wang chung)
the inaugural release on prism comes courtesy of jon phonics, fresh off the back of his debut appearance on vinyl with the essential >bruck out/the one< 7 inch on chakra sounds.
never one to rest on his laurels, jon now presents the >grid games< ep. this instrumental, progressive project is a nod to his more leftfield influences forging elements of electronica, 2 step and bass music.
the vinyl features collaborations with s-type (luckyme), jeeks (civil music), pete cannon and bug alongiside remixes from kidkanevil, ghost mutt and pedestrian.
the debut 12 inch by electronic diviner secret circuit - aka eddie ruscha (also of laughing light of plenty & food of the gods) - is now the physical property of earths people. on >nebula sphynx< analog synths & sequencers burn deep like a tincture of jack house and ham-fisted experimental attack music. the track features special guest circuit cole mgn (the samps, nite jewel), who gives the >sphynx< an extra crispy, cosmic crunch. ruscha keeps the meters peaking on >parascopic rope< with randy drum machine blasts and casio sk-wanderings. each 12 inch from beats in space features original artwork in considerate & serial form. bis002 12 inch features artwork by cf (aka - providence-based artist christopher forgues), purveyor the powr mastrs comic book epic and a finely-tweaked & tuned in dude.

apartment records 2nd release comes from irelands analogue-obsessed soul assassins, tr one. on the a-side, drum dance is a fusion of beatdown with a minimal techno aesthetic, creating a hypnotic journey through the duos machines. the b-side serves up 2 alternative takes. john heckles debut remix takes a heaving, lo-fi approach to the originals drums while layering it with wistful synths, before juju & jordashs dub version closes off proceedings in their inimitable style, expansive yet claustrophobic at the one time.
nova gain records return with their latest 12 inch! after the successful debut ep >dont wanna lose it< and their full length dlp: >on the beatbox<, mr. konfuze & lunatic are back with their highly addictive >so good< ep. it features two brand new tracks plus two remixes from the album >on the beatbox< by well known producers para (breakin bread) and random heroes (jack to phono / freestyle records).

nova gain records - the home of soulful refunked beats and breaks!
martin landskys outstanding form continues with his latest release on poker flat recordingshis first outing on steve bugs label since his stunning contribution to thejack is back ep earlier this year. with over 10 years of association with the label, landsky is a poker flat mainstay - and with this release, its not hard to see why.the composer is an atmospheric tech-house work out that kicks off with a tight and funky groove, and then expands into an off-kilter dancefloor bomb, with nagging synth lines weaving their way through the taut, finely- tuned production. on the flip,moodmusic main-man sasse adds a dubbier take on the track, pushing the drums up in the mix and teasing out the acidic riffs to full effect. expertly building the tension, the track resolves itself in an epic breakdown.
too late for this years christmas festivities, but hopefully still an acceptable gift for vinyl enthusiasts: two previously digital-only tracks from the running back(catalogue) on one split-10inch-plate. todd terjes picturesque ambient version of ragyshs antagonist snooze 4 love is backed up by jack plugs (alias chris bishop) supernatural (disco) dub of son of sams 1984 electro punk punch nature makes a mistake. two for one, one for all and 500 copies for the world.
now is the time is a collection of works from nite vision, the result of two production sessions between a pair of electronic musicians heavily influenced by the pure analogue sounds and primordial brilliance and simplicity of the early house music pioneers. craig stainton and nigel rogers have teamed up to produce their first release together, exploring the deeper side of a shared love for early chicago house music. this package is not a parody or imitation, it is as authentic and genuine as the sounds recorded by pioneers such as virgo, vincent floyd and mr fingers. nite visions emotive sound carries on the lessons taught by these early masters, while remaining fresh and well defined. the double 12inch is a selection of 9 deep raw house tracks that bind together to provide a true listening experience as well as having the jack to rock the dance floor and ethereal melodies to engross the mind
the next record from the abstract acid catalogue will be the first in a series of various artist works. downtown dirt 1 features 4 cuts of chicago house and acid workouts by jackee, interface88, mmmc (man made mechanical culture), and steve summers. pure and simple raw grooves made for those who still like to jack.
simply an amazing collection of sophisticated, full functional dancefloor weapons which will easily find their way into the crates of all techhouse & techno keyplayers out there! played & supported by stephan bodzin, aka aka, claude von stroke, paco osuna, rene bourgeois, robert grand (additan radio).
next detroit - chicago bomb by echonomist. incl huge john dimas remix. like an aficionado of acid house echonomist returns with a stormer on third wave. this time his hyped chord progressions resolve into a groove that is more or less a reminiscence of the hacienda days. dans mon salon sings in black shades >i feel for you<, >to lock with a groove that i crave for<. a praise to jack, a praise to the way of jack. ultimately, >jack had a groove. and from this groove came the grooves of all grooves< john dimas goes deeper underground with a simple primitive like pulsating groove. the insistent bass line tone (that slowly unravels an opening filter) clearly connects to old skool techniques of acid house masters.
fresh on the heels of their last ep for lip service, the main stem deliver again with a delicious full-length that sees ten years of musical trials and tribulations amalgamated into one lean danceable form
returning to flapjack records vinyl department after a 10 release difference are those lovely uk chaps jackin box. to celebrate their return, they present us with the time honored traditional fun filled experience of the >cow tippin ep<. i used to think this may have only been an american past time, but apparently this is an international phenomena. not only do we love to eat cows, but we like to fuck with them for fun, by pushing them over while helplessly asleep standing up in a field. what a total dick move, but is as equal in fun as it is in douche baggery. so flapjack commends these boys and the fine jams that have inspired such mindless fun.
soniculture, the lisbon-based label, proudly presents billy dalessandros 5th album entitled cracktime. this project forges a new generation of production style and sound design for billy as he cocks the shotgun of his latest experiment in electronic debauchery. cracktime sonically defines those innocent and naughty moments that each of us exhibit, in our own way, that helps to fulfill our lives with all those insane memories we carry with us back to the grave. thirteen tracks round out this ring match in a dub-infused, 303- injected, chicago-style bassd-out fight that lasts just about an hour. so sit back (or jack back) to the show, and remember...that if religion is the opium of the masses, music definitely gives us our daily crack.

after the success leonid neverminds light is here ep, we invited a few artists to reinterpret and reshape leonids work. first up is dutch duo duijn & douglas, who already released on nowar, who took on thymus stimulator and turned it into a deep and funky time bomb. very basic and strongly efficient grooves layered with riffs and counter-riffs, making you hooked instantly. a wonderful hip-shaker! on the flipside detroits kris wadsworth, with solid releases on nrk and boe recordings, applied a more machine funk approach turning feel into a deep jack workout with leonids original dreamy sounds enveloping kriss rawness. finally miles sagnia, whose releases on his own atmospheric existence and aesthetic audio prove to be timeless gems, also combined the raw and the soulful. a true deep house gem with funky basslines, straightforward beats and a sweet deep almost detroit techy vibe.
