after the recent success of their expansive debut full length on idle hands and while they bask in the glory of their recently well received resident advisor podcast, jacob hodge and matt lambert push on with a new ep on bristols futureboogie. to date outboxx have fomented their own ebullient house style that is imbued with a keen sense of uplifting melody, plenty of analogue dust and some heavyweight bass, largely on bristol based labels, and this new ep sees them continue in that fine form.

flashback to chicago in 1985, when house music was just being born. a few kids - matt warren, miguel garcia and ralphi rosario, get together to join forces with the already established sunset mobile disco - owned by brothers alex and robert rojo - to create a new record label as an outlet for their productions. here still music presents the full story, written by jacob arnold - of one of chicagos house music best kept secret in a superb gatefold dlp compilation that includes remastered, rare and unreleased tracks from the sunset records inc. label along with lost pictures and artifacts spread in a gatefold dlp. check!

hunter/game return with their second ep on last night on earth full of depth and warmth in time for the summer months. this four track release also features the talents of bajka and camille corazon. to round off the package are two superb remixes from german based baikal and jacob korn

thomas mullarney and jacob gossett, aka brooklyn duo beacon, introduced themselves to the world with the no body and for now eps, both released last year on ghostly international. the eps were united by minimalist, r&b influenced instrumentation, and also by a lyrical theme, with both serving as meditations on the darkness that underpins the most intense of human emotions: love.

another (more or less) round catalogue number, another various artists ep on uncanny valley: this time its a full package with four true club bangers (at least to our ears...). on the a-side we have the heart warming label debut of the polish producer eltron john

riding high on the wings of their previous release pulling strings on their red series, eclectic avenue records bring us rear002 deep in it by small giants. small giants is the wonderfully ingenious marriage between leeds based label manager jacob kelly (j.cub) and the chicago house legend joshua iz. combining their skills, they have taken a heady guitar lick, underpinned it with a smoothly infectious bassline and sewn it all together with a warm soothing vocal sample. call it house, call it disco. either way, it is a surefire dancefloor killer and will take pride of place in any dj or collectors record box. flip her over for a remix by leeds darlings pbr streetgang. currently the hottest thing to come out of dance musics unofficial capital, the cheeky duo have put their own twist on the original by filling the track out with some chuggier deeper vibes whilst highlighting the instrumental solos. a hugely successful foray into a funkier tone for what promises to be another trophy in the e.a.r cabinets.

next round for chymeras >death by misadventure< interpretations. this time, both remixes were made for >an island in space<, definitely one of the highlight tracks of the album. on side a, uncanny valleys jacob korn, who just released his debut longplayer >you&me<, turns the tune into an intoxicating hymn somewhere between house and techno. catchy, and with a wonderfully positive atmosphere, the track is pure bliss. on the b, dutch techno veteran orlando voorn delivers a piece of properly driving melodic techno. several melodies entangle to one big sound collage. there is no real beginning or end, like a neverending jam. a very unique track and so much more than a useful tool...

cocoon recordings is back in full force with the follow up to last years superb vinyl compilation >dots & pearls< providing a tracklisting that is nothing less than the modern interpretation of house, techno and tech-house >dots & pearls< ii eschews monotonous loops and predictable formulas and rather delivers a selection packed with energy and depth.

hinter dem namen the drifter verbirgt sich mark flynn, ein in berlin lebender dj, produzent und sänger aus irland, der aktuell unübersehbar auf dem weg nach oben ist. der mann hat schon erdbeerschnitzel, good guy mikesh & filburt, worst friends und jacob korn seine stimme geliehen. seine gemeinsam mit mano le tough veranstaltete clubnacht passion beat in der loftus hall ist eines der momentanen highlights im nachtleben der hauptstadt. deepe, gefühlvolle und doch dunkel schimmernde house-musik ist das metier von mark flynn, der als the drifter nun seine erste solo-platte veröffentlicht.

psst! shtum is the new sublabel of dresdens uncanny valley and it is created for proper techno and raw house tracks, music best listened to in a room full of strobe light and fog. right at the start youll get monomood with three dark and powerful tracks. parameter one is one of those techno stompers you cant help but fiercely nod your head to. the lyrics in the crafter might suggest it but actually nobody is afraid of the dark. not even after hell breaks loose with unrelenting chords. also, vault takes no prisoners while keeping the cellar door shut with its nasty acid lines and raw drum work. the musical concept has been interpreted visually by aram haydeyan and uncanny valley artist jacob stoy.

new san soda on we play house... tip!

drei tracks aus dem wunderbaren neuen album von marbert rocel in superhotten club-remixen von jacob korn, osunlade, daniel stefanik und klinke auf cinch!

catalogue number ten at uncanny valley and for this occasion the dresden based label returns to its roots with another various artists ep. actually, this is long overdue since there are a lot more talented producers to find in the elbe valley. on uncanny valley 010 we present four of them. sandrow m who focussed on the c-beams project recently has been part of the label right from the start. with “the three trees” he makes his solo debut for uncanny valley. the track is a summery house tune that shines with garage vocals and warm synth pads. steve kasper is slowing it down with unvexed dub which is an immersed house excursion for the morning hours. on the flipside scherbes kill bills stumbles but does not fall. instead, the track lives from tottering interaction between bright percussions and fractious drones below. finally, its jacob stoy who closes the record with s51, a dreamy deep house study including heavenly pads and subtle drum programming. for the artwork we are very glad to welcome back paul waak and his colourful figures that gave the first four compilations their unique look!

>my third solo album is coming out in april ! its a really big deal to me, as this album was finished during a difficult time of my life. i am very happy to see it coming out and to have worked with some really talented people in the creating process. even the record cover is very special to me. its designed by the marvellous trevor jackson, who you should know for his amazing artwork for lcd soundsystem, the rapture, soulwax, chromeo, mattias aguayo etc. i cant wait for you to see it and listen to it.<.

kresy should not be a stranger for those who have been following hivern for the last couple of years. real name alejandro rodriguez,this young producer from asturias landed in the label with many man (incl in hivern a lestiu ii), a track that wisely matched deep-house dynamics with hip-hop vocals to become a quite unexpected underground floor-burner, getting regular plays by the likes of four tet or john talabot. now, were thrilled to introduce you lords of percussion his first fully own release on the label and first-ever vinyl output.

oxygen incl. jacob plant remix

rounding off what has been a busy year for idle hands comes a 12 inch from west country residents outboxx. this duo, comprised of jacob martin (aka hodge) and matthew lambert have steadily built a reputation for themselves with releases on well rounded and immerse. moving away from the dominant trends in bass music the pair have been forging a sound more akin to early nineties deep house - yet retaining a palette of 2011 sounds. here they present two tracks - >aporia< is a lesson in wistful house, all pianos and a sneeky bass drop half way through the tune. >cromwell< is a straight ahead house roller, but with enough sub to keep the bass enthusiasts happy. support so far from ramadanman and sven weiseman.

x-mas special from the extrasmart crew - 3 extrahot records for the price of just 1! better be extrasmart - better be quick! bundled in this pack are exsr 11, 07 & 02 with tracks by jacob richter, spedro and oliver basell. remixes coming from haito, steven beyer and andy kohlmann & dennis reich.

continuing the exploration of bristol 4/4 variants, immerse proudly offers forth this decisive two-tracker from the prodigious mind of jacob martin, better know as hodge. you might be more familiar with hodge from his work as part of outboxx, who we proudly debuted on ime025. that said, he first surfaced last year with the deadly conjecture on another fine bristol institution, pollen. one thing rings true in any of the output hodge is associated with, melody. shirking the safety of sterile mechanics that so many producers hide behind, he tackles interplaying notes and harmonies with a fearless exuberance. opening track the fall kicks off on a jerky groove and ice-cold organ murmurs, gently easing in layers and clips of sound with the same joie de vivre as akufen and other micro-house progenitors. ‘crush’ kicks off on a more decidedly broken tip, keeping the twostep shuffle slow and easy as whispers of garage skip in between the warm pads. the overriding vibe on hodge’s ep is one of unpretentious, good times tunage.

phonokemi are one of the most exciting electronic musical exports that denmark has to offer. and that means really a lot, if we think that since many years now a very innovative and exellent techno music scene is growing up in our neighbour country. it is also no wonder that the duo regularly provides berlin label highgrade records with some of our most exciting new releases. the pair has repeatedly demonstrated that the combination of an experienced producer (jacob phono thiessen) and a first rate dj (kim kemi) is a winning combination that ensures the production of intelligent tracks that always make more than their share of revolutions on the worlds turntables. this latest ep is no an exception.

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.

latest release on rebellion is a superb four-tracker of off-kilter subsonic house from the illustrious pezzner! each cut is unique in its own charm and quirkiness. the two killer cuts on the a side feature the infectious, driving, heady resonance of >one more< and the beautiful, transcendental nature of >try it again< featuring the illustrious nneka gryffyn from apt entertainment. the flip features the piano driven, snake charming >native language< and the staccato sub-ska rhythm and flute-infested genius of >not a good idea<. what a cracking ep! dave released his debut album, the tracks are alive, last year on freerange. he has a plethora of single releases on om, viva and freerange, as well as releases as jacob london (along with bob hansen) on classic & doubledown and countless remixes. already a firm favourite in the rebels camp, this great ep is a feather in daves cap, and is to sure cement rebellion’s burgeoning cutting edge reputation

outboxx hail from bristol and like much of the great citys output their music has plenty of laidback style and vibe. jacob hodge builds the sharp beats, adds bass depth and controls the technology, matt lambert adds the authentic keys - rhodes and synth licks with beautifully judged hints of jazz, soul and vintage funk.

in denmark, there rages a lively and experimental techno scene - and its not only a recent phenomenon. the best proof are phono and kemi, two danish imports to the berlin record label, highgrade records. the two chaps complement each other in a musically virtuoso fashion: phono, jacob thiessen, spent his childhood playing around with sequencers and drum machines: over the years he has stuck to this passion and as such, has developed a reputation as an experienced house and techno producer. kim kemi, by contrast, has been a dj since the beginning, and since the 90s has been one of the key figures in the copenhagen club scene. together they have not only performed regularly at the biggest events in denmarks capital, but have also ensured through their many releases, ever changing accents and atmospheres on the turntables. this wealth of combined musical experience can be heard instantly on their latest outing for highgrade – >decompose<. the three tracks, >decompose<, >exterminators< & >last night< assemble rhythms that come from punk, elegant voices and dizzying loops a multi-layered sound excursion. the result is a perfectly produced ep, but one that has not been ironed smooth. with the >made in denmark< seal of quality, phono and kemi bring some extra depth to the party attitude

gerd is delivering at the moment! after releases on clone royal oak, philpot, a big re-issue on rejected, great remixes on 4lux and delusions of grandeur its time for him to release on his own 4lux label! a massive chicago influenced track called h.o.u.s.e. featuring the voice of l.b. bad, the prince of dance music. this track was originally penned in 1994 when gerd had elbee over to tour the benelux. the track was released on an obscure limited edition white label only back then, but here a new rework of these old recordings. 2011 sees the track remixed by gerd himself and he takes the tune into rough & uncompromising analogue territory with filthy synth bassline and relentless tr808 action. seriously good track!! jakob korn, arttu and neville watson are on remix duty and deliver some fresh remix that complete this record. recommended!

the first immerse release of 2011 sees the label taking on a fresh approach while retaining the same atmospherics that have made it an essential fixture in the bristol music canon. outboxx are made up of jacob martin and matt lambert, and their sound is rooted in groovy, analogue house music. with an emphasis on jamming, theres a loose, live feel to these tracks that has an instant appeal but drags you deeper with each listen. >kate libby< kicks off on a swung beat and warm pads, before dropping down to p-funk bass and sparse synth flourishes. >berties groove< places jazzy rhodes playing at the front of the mix with a classic drum machine workout ticking away in the background. this is soulful, authentic house music with not a clinical midi pattern in earshot. despite coming from a different angle, the outboxx tracks slip neatly into the immerse legacy thus far, pointing the way for a year filled with more of the spacious, haunting club music the label has become renowned for.
