niro perrone better known as simply niro, or easy to remember, alongside sibling and production partner elia perrone, has come a long way over the past few years stacking up releases on the likes of m50�s revered kimochi sound, sound of vast, memento and the dub, as well as releasing his debut lp on his unclear imprint. here though we see niro introduce a new chapter with his brand new label pads.
�hands of shadow� opens the release and sets the tone of the label from the very beginning with an understated melodic feel fused with raw percussion and a subtly evolving yet intricate structure. �inner space� follows and wanders into dub territories with spiralling echoes, low-slung drums and ethereal atmospherics. title cut �pieces of you� opens the flip side and lays focus on an infectious unfaltering groove via vacillating pad swells, sporadic jazz licks and a weighty 4/4 drive before closing cut �the spectrometer dance� rounds it all off with some ambient vibes.

hailing from reynosa, mexico and the lower rio grande valley in texas, andres aguirre has been a lifelong devotee for music and audio production. he became a radio host of an electronic music show and production director for the student-run 91.7 fm station in austin, and his longtime passion for playing and collecting music linked andres with the forbidden colours family from long ago. aguirre returns to forbidden colours - this time with a solo ep concept crafted with as much love for the dance floor as it is for the casual living room listener. situated somewhere in the realm of deep house with a touch of techno, the rich harmonies and vivid textures take you through a hypnotic trip composed of spacey electronic tracks, smooth songs, and adventurous interludes. my love wears forbidden colours my life believes my love wears forbidden colours my life believes in you once again

opening cut acido setting the tone perfectly via murky broken rhythms and glitched out bass hits before the latter stages introduce a squelching 303 lead which tails out the rest of the record.what follows and takes a more robust approach rhythmically with a weighty kick drum, shuffling congas and choppy hats lying at the forefront while spiralling bass hits and vocal chops meander around them. opening the flip is nasty(or nylo if there is no way to fix name) which draws on an earth shattering sub bass lead, sparse percussive shots and a subtly bubbling synth stabs.lastly the package is closed with nylo(or koi if there is no way to fix name), an intricately programmed energy fuelled workout featuring reversed bass swells, jazz tinged rhodes melodies and crunchy distorted drums.

das album -touch and flee- markiert einen entscheidenden punkt in der bandgeschichte des neil cowley trios. die jazzgruppe um den komponisten und pianisten neil cowley, den schlagzeuger evan jenkins und den bassisten rex horan beschreibt ihr fünftes album als ihre -concert hall record-. und tatsächlich ist das in den berühmten rak studios aufgenommene -touch and flee- das freiste, fließendste und gleichzeitig zupackendste album des britischen trios, das 2007 für sein debüt bereits mit dem bbc jazz award ausgezeichnet wurde. cowley, der sonst auch mal auf platten von popstars wie adele und birdy am klavier zu hören ist, führt sich und seine beiden mitstreiter zu neuen höhen, gerade kompositorisch war er nie besser. ausufernde melodien, lange, elegante passagen und ein wie mit breitem pinselstrich aufgeführtes spiel machen -touch and flee- zum anwärter auf den titel -bestes klaviertrio-album des jahres 2014-. das 180-gramm-vinyl erscheint mit downloadcode.

roberto auser is known for his wide range of sounds and releases on viewlexx and his own ausland label. next to that he is part of kaval (vrystaete). even though his releases until now go from italo disco inspired electro to exotica and dark jazz influenced electronics his production is always rather smooth. for enfant terrible he shows his raw and dirty side. �faceless future� is an old school minimal elektro record done with analogue synths with a real industrial and post-punk attitude. this record pays tribute to (early) cabaret voltaire, (early) front 242 and (later-day) le syndicat electronique. simply minimal electronics as it should sound� rough and unpolished�
limited to 250 copies.

the ninth installment on house is ok comes from homeboy who brings four fresh joints to the table. after making the move to berlin earlier this year, this mediterranean goodboy brings some newly acquired production techniques with his latest record. live drum sampling, loose synth riffs and other more personal notes can be heard across the entire release. for decisions ricochet, homeboy teamed up with the croatian blues man bebe na vole who takes this record into unexplored territories for the label. these four tracks werent necessarily designed to move bodies on the dance floor, but more likely mirror his inspiration from the past 12 months and show his abilities to simply write great music. its house not house, post-disco, jazz, and acid synth hippie music all at the same time. the heart is where homeboy is will hit stores in late september both as a 12? vinyl ep

pampa is ecstatic to welcome berlins mike denhert for his label debut. known for an uncompromising, heads-down approach to moving dance floors, whether as a producer, a dj, or in his live incarnation, mike has provided 2 original tracks that are as distinct as they are relentless, possessed of a cerebral quality that belies their tough and stripped back aesthetic. how close to be is a stuttering march of half heard and half imagined discourse, broken by bright synthesis which disappears before it can fully form, with the disorientating sonics held in check only by the rigidity of rhythm running throughout the tracks length. its both surprising and linear. dark and uplifting. me too is also a creature of opposing ideologies. warped moving jazz plays with static motorik patterns, automation curls around repetition, and textures change position throughout. bright keys warp, and swing ebbs in and flows out, all to an eventually breathless but ultimately compelling sum of these parts

as part of our 10 years anniversary mukatsuku is proud to release the holy grail instrumental long version co produced by tommy stewart of �brotherson� from atlanta usa resident ojeda penn.
there were two versions of the album �happiness� on the ife independent label. they looked almost identical but the first version contained the now rarer elongated jazz fused instrumental version of �brotherson� and then a few months later they recut the album with a much shorter version adding strings and vocals.
the former version is now being sold up to £500 so this 12� is a welcome release to the reissue market. according to mr penn this is the first time either version has been reissued officially and mukatsuku after many years of discussion is glad to finally be in a position to finally put out both versions on one phat 12�.

hvl seems well thought of by many within the house and techno community, with labels queuing up to secure his services. bizarre realms marks his first appearance on los angeles hesperian sound division. it s an undeniably atmospheric affair, with the georgian keen to show off his noted eye for detail. check, for example, the spacey, detroit deep house-goes-acid vibe of -escape in time-, or the watery, deep space electronics and jazz-flecked rhythm of -bizarre realms-. he s not afraid to doff a cap to techno, either, as both the deep and dubby -sio-, and the more ragged, mind-bending -sforzando-, so neatly prov

london�s 22a follow up their sell-out tenderlonious / al dobson jr split ep with nine more exclusives from henry wu and jeen bassa. originally limited to just 100 copies, this has become a hugely sought after 12�!
henry wu applies jazz infused hip-hop sensibilities to these synth-boogie, and deep house tracks. this was wu�s debut release and set the platform for further massive releases on eglo and rhythm section. on the flip jeen bassa goes in deep with percussive house infused afro-beats laden with jazzy hip hop rhythms. haling from a family of talented musicians (mo kolours and reginald omas mamode iv) he has since gone on to similarly large releases, including last years sterling time waves ep on 22a.

unlucky 013? ha! this one�s a pearler. multi talented producer red rack�em climbs up the fertile n s y d e spirit tree for this glowing summer release in the form of the �nothing without you� ep. a mutation from the same skunky-soul strain of n s y d e 005 by skymark / lady blacktronika. the title cut is a result of a red rack�em tour through the south pacific, connecting with inkswell and fam. what was meant to be a rack�em / inkswell track instead ended up with australian vocalist, now berlin diamond in the rough: misumami liberally sprinkling her magic throughout. with a proposed subject matter based around missing loved ones while apart, misumami weaves an enchanting story of longing, and matters of the heart, through signature sleek, clever, floor ready rack�em production. flip for �love beat� and here we get red rack�em- the funky technician fanboy, dusty fingered native tongue devotee, and closet jazz dancer. the loose, bumping drum programming and sculpted, cubist jazz sampling (inna heavy mandalorian funk fashion) weld this nocturnal seduction dance together. this is a late night groover, an eyes closed on the dance floor vibration. both sides are modern, vital, considered house music, where the problems of the world dissolve in a heads down- vibes up situation. mastered by pole at scapemastering so you know it�s gonna bang...

most excellent unlimiteds series of 45s celebrating the 45th year of danny krivits career continues with a blast of two heavyweight cuts that, to borrow the parlance of the era from which they came, are bonafide sure shots. wood, brass & steels *funkanova* a jazz-funk masterpiece and loft classic that was liberally sampled in the house world (black science orchestra, terrence parker, the bucketheads), is pared down to its most joyous elements. from the intro, a typical krivit maestros detail of an opening bass slide prefacing hands-in-the-air cascades of iconic horns and keys, to the echo of the last notes, its a perfect edit immaculately tailored for dj usage. the flip delves deeper into new york city dance history with a rough and rugged beat- down of a proto-disco, b-boy classic: boobie knight & the universal ladys * sex*. displaying his usual knack of going straight for the jugular, krivit takes the songs siren-call-to-the-dance floor horn riff as his starting point, peeling off another layer to the floor-shaking bass and drums before bringing it all back to the top with a perfectly placed drum roll that will have flash disciples fiending for doubles. solidifying this blazing double-sider is the fact that neither of these essential cuts has ever appeared in seven-inch form. another most excellent unlimited sure shot!

jürgen karg�s career in music began in the 1960s as bass player for german jazz legend wolfgang dauner. it was not until the 1970�s that he switched his attention to electronic music, launching himself wholeheartedly into exploring the genre and building up an extensive collection of synthesizers over a five year period. his efforts culminated in �elektronische mythen�, a mighty opus of experimental music which reveals new aspects every time it is played. jürgen karg�s music is deeply serious, as vexing as a jamais vu, yet absolutely beautiful. �elektronische mythen� is an album which fits like a puzzle piece between the first and second soundtracks for a clockwork orange. it�s worth to check it out!

few would challenge the claim that the 1960s and 70s have been the most fertile two decades in the history of popular music ever - a period which, regardless of genre, laid the foundations for everything that has followed. what is more, this period was so fertile that the speed with which tastes changed left a colossal amount of incredible music to gather dust - perhaps most famously a profusion of funk, soul and jazz. it was a musical legacy that lay mouldering until the rise of sampling in late 80s hip-hop precipitated a mad scramble for lost crates and suddenly, the music that became known as rare groove - for obvious reasons (it was rare and very groovy) - experienced a phoenix-like rebirth. a quarter of a century on and a million funk, soul, jazz-funk and rare groove compilations, re-presses and re-releases later, you d think that cupboard was bare and yet, even now, there are gems to be found. pt is re-releasing the rarest of cuts that often were originally only limited runs or private pressings and new compilation down & wired is just such a collection. always soulful, this features everything from mod groovers and northern stompers, to funky bumps and latin heaters. yet while the quality of all cuts is immediately apparent, only one of the eleven has ever been previously been compiled because when pt do rare, they don t mess around. in fact, if these tracks were steaks - they d still be walking around eating grass.
