after some outstanding releases from stojche, aybee and kuba sojche, dmk step up again with another impressive release, this time with john shima who delivers the stealth ep. after recent releases on exalt and firescope records, the quality continues across this ep, with four cuts of deep atmospheric techno.

label head steven rutter joins forces with john shima (fs005) on this bright ep with its direction turned towards the light. the heavenly ‘skywards’ leads the way upwards with tenderly treated spacious drum programming and light-as-air atmospherics while darker and deeper cavernous tones create the yin-yang balance of lightness and dark. ‘broken spell’ continues the uplifted vibe of a spell that when broken, blooms open with an intoxicating permeating sweetness like an exotic fragrance that lingers in one’s memory. ‘a new day’ leans slightly more towards a heavier driven track featuring a funky bassline with bright electronic notations as counterpoint while drifting, dreamy pads keep the overall mood airy and light. the off-kilter knob is turned way right on the bouncy final track ’disjointed route’, injecting dashes of wry quirk alongside a lightly moving groove.

excellent futuristic techno, four tracks written by john shima for instruction records. vinyl only!

john shima has been quietly plying his trade in techno soul since 2010, shoring up on labels such as boe recordings, contrast-wax and firescope. now he inaugurates distant worlds with another fine clutch of introspective beats delivered with a classic early 90s feel. it s hard to ignore the influence of b12 on -renegade-, while -machine works- takes on a moodier tone without losing that inherent warmth that makes his music such a pleasure to listen to. -veloc- reaches for a heavy-lidded euphoria, and then -troglodytic- makes for the consummate b2 track by heading out into ambient pastures, showing off shima s synth skills in fine style.

the fifth ep on firescope records, the new sub label of the legendary b12 records, welcomes mr john shima. established in sheffield in the early 90’s with a multitude of releases, john has appeared on ferox, boe recordings, common dreams, diametric, and subwax to name but a few ! the ep entitled elements unknown, is pure techno for laying back in a dark room and floating away, highly detailed layers of electronic sounds interweaved together to create emotion rarely found in electronic music. drawing inspiration from uk pioneers such as b12, stasis, lfo, black dog but delivering it in a modern way, john has managed to carve out his own unique sound while staying true to his roots. this is uncorrupted uk techno in its purest form.

emerald city is the first release of verdant recordings, a new label to present carefully curated deep music across the electronic spectrum. on this ep are 3 highly respected producers from the uk leigh dickson, john shima and plant43 (emile facey) and a 4th debut track from a disciple of the halcyon days of emotive music mihail petrovski. musically this ep is all about deep techno, the exquisite sounds and characteristic style of each producer is unmistakeable. emerald city was first released as limited edition of lathe cuts but interest in the project completely overwhelmed its availability. this 2nd pressed edition should keep the deep-heads satisfied and will also include the beautiful artwork from sophie o leary presented in the 1st edition.

illusion recordings are back after a years break from releasing music for their 10th and most ambitious release. they took a break to step back and build a strong platform for the future and build a crew of high calibre artists who represent and showcase their musical identity which they have built over their first 9 releases and two sub labels.

every tenth release for boe recordings represents a significant achievement for the vinyl-focused record label and the numerical milestone is celebrated with a special release. the thirtieth instalment, boe xxx is a true family affair with four recognisable boe artists and two new members added in.

a landmark for contrast-wax as the label hits its 10th release, with a solid 4 track ep, of analogue, emotive techno from the sheffield based, modular tweaking, john shima. with previous releases on the likes of boe recordings, common dreams & ferox, johns signature of warm pads, punching kick drums & acidic vibes doesn t disappoint throughout this whole ep & he provides an absolute stellar release for the boutique label & a very welcome member to the contrast-wax family

starting from th pressing s first release, artist tominori hosoya has continued releasing his musics from labels such as deepartsounds and soiree records. he is resident in tokyo, and is the president of th pressing, which release a second vinyl finally. the 4 participating artists are, anaxander, who takes an active part in labels such as poker flat and local talk, the new and excellent producer john shima, who has released from ferox and boe, rai scott, who runs a label with brad peterson and also releases from other labels, and finally, the man of experience, rennie foster, who has continuously been releasing masterpieces from many labels such as subject detroit. the 4 artists have been handed over the concept“music dedicted to the important persons, things and memories” from the previous piece, and has created an emotional and atmospheric opus. vinyl only.

the revered halal prepared series on boe extends to its fourth volume with four new acts fresh to the label. hotly tipped duo, invisible menders, made up of outstanding dj jane fitz and thus far underrated producer dom ahtuam contribute a stunning balearic bass-heavy house cut fifth time lucky. fresh from his solo ep, john shima slots in a deep techno workout thought wave. toby tobias of rekids fame pumps out some raw basement lofi vibes with his jacker sword art arcade and rounding off the ep on a delicate note is tim smith s soft and melodic 707 jam graphene

quickly becoming one to watch in the techno circles, john shima is making waves with his fresh approach to that classic detroit sound. his contribution for boe is nothing short of a stunning representation of underground electronic music. prototype is a sonic ode to industry: blueprinted in the motor city and forged in sheffield. it s heads down for the dance floor with shimmering metallic overtones and a side order of robot jack. ancient skies points more towards chicago stylings capturing the melancholy party vibe of early cajual records with crystal clear production skills and neat arrangements. transducer is groovy experimental techno that could have easily sat on the much-revered objet d art. it s electronic music that will stand the test of time. rounding off the ep in fine style is true distance. a stunning ambient piece with deep pads and swirling melodies that complement and round of the ep perfectly.

ferox brings you four of the uk and irelands finest on this 4 tracker

john shima is a prolific electronic music producer. he has a sound maybe best described as futuristic & intelligent, with a hint of quarkiness at times. he brings true depth and emotion into his productions, usually illustrated by using spacey pads, electrofunk basslines and intelligent drum programming. this ep contains two tracks, carefully selected from his archive to compliment one another and to bring you his productions of highest quality.

brilliant old skool styled detroit techno , or think juan atkins / ur - style

sheffield based john shima joins the diametric. family. after a series of digital releases in the last years it is a tremendous pleasure to release the very first vinyl 12 inch of john on diametric. his music could be easily described as the logical progression of the legacy of famous uk acts such as b12, stasis or nuron, but that would be only half the story really. john mixes very emotional and deep techno with intrinsic and delicate rhythmic structures, in parts even harsh sounding bitcrushed percussions, and idm influences together to his very own special blend. now we can already hear the stupid comments from the haters saying that his music doesnt sound new and like the next big hype but the simple answer is: even if so, who gives a f#ck? it is great electronic music and diametric. certainly hopes you enjoy this record and are blown away like us.300 handnumbered limited vinyl copies only. no digital distribution.

das forgemasters-trio: winston hazel, sean maher und rob gordon wurden erstmals mit ihrem mittlerweile legendären track with no name gefeiert und haben als erste veröffentlichung auf warp records (wap1) prestige. skies over sheffield wartet jedoch seit seiner konzeption in den frühen 90er jahren in den startlöchern. fast zwei jahrzehnte lang war die sonne über der strecke untergegangen, die in einer alten aufnahme von winston hazels sheffield community radio aus dem jahr 1992 eingebettet war. daher sind wir sehr stolz darauf, die lang erwartete morgendämmerung von skies over sheffield auf seven hills records anzukündigen.

new italien label

erell ranson has got some serious credentials behind him. the french producer has been releasing music for over ten years, landing on a range of underground labels that more recently include barba records, subwax excursions and nightflight. on this release for uk label distant worlds, he matches the vibe of label mates john shima, derek carr et al with a gorgeous set of emotive, yearning techno reflections that call to mind the early uk scene pioneered by b12, baby ford and others. this is thoughtful, heartfelt stuff that works both as distinctive dancefloor material as well as intimate home listening fare.

new label from barcelona

a new compilation compiled by dj jeff the fish aimed at the modern jazz dance scene containing artists from the uk, usa, japan, france, italy and finland previously unavailable or hard to find on vinyl.

following sterling entries from derek carr, john shima and mihail p, distant worlds reaches out to perseus traxx for a demonstration of the emotional heft and utopian optimism that classic techno promises in its most compelling moments. this is relatable, familiar territory, but executed with finesse beyond the reach of the average producer. a new mystery is bathed in swirling synth tones as elegant as they are moving, while simulacra places a bold square wave riff front and centre for an impactful deep techno meditation. circumstantial reframes the same rich melodic approach in a frantic chassis of snapping beats darting around the grid with playful glee, and then the map is not the territory applies the same logic to a mystical but rhythmically charged trip into the netherworld of machine soul.

those with an internet connection may be familiar with paolo di nicolantonio through his incredible youtube channel, synthmania. his channel is hub showcasing his endless arsenal of synths and drum machines from his home studio in italy. unlike his italo-heavy channel, this record consists of two original tracks, one old-school deep house number and an additional beatless juno-60 jam to boot. craigie knowes also welcome their first remixer to the label, the impeccable uk deep techno producer, john shima.
