following on from the the likes of the excellent son.sine re-issue, delsin kicks off 2015 with another one in the form of micronism s steps to recovery ep. originally released on nurture records in 1999, the ep, which comes in black and limited coloured vinyl, is a bonafide deep house classic from the short live career of new zealander denver mccarthy. engaging causelss mercy is a contemplative, atmospheric affair with soft drums and celestial pads that could roll and roll forever and you d never get tired. the quiet mind is just as deep, but the spiralling pads and rippling melodies here are more colourful and charming. both tracks are hugely spacious, luxurious affairs whilst constructing space on the flip is a more stripped back and humid number that is more enclosed and oppressive for cosy back room spaces. finally, the title track is a playful, elastic house track with heartwarming hooks and pinging drums. this tasteful ep shines a light on some definitively deep tracks that really do deserve the attention that will now inevitably come their way.

nice price deal !!! - dont just think about jellphonic tonight, pick up the phone and call. if youre lonely, confused, or just need a friend. hes been waiting, waiting to hear from you. hot, private and live 24 hours a day for adults only. it seems like 12 years since jellphonic put out a 12, but this release proves that he is still the baddest man in the whole damn town. 5 low brow cuts that celebrate the finer things in life, analog synths, minimal production and mindless funk. all on his own imaginary label too, bon appetit!

are we all tired of the *artist returns after number years in obscurity* headline yet? because michna sure is. nearly seven years following the nyc dj/producers debut album for ghostly, magic monday, he has finished the official follow up to that record, but adrian yin michna doesnt want to overstate what happened in the interim. *life just moves,* he starts casually, *there has been a lot going on.* dj gigs, music production for video games and commercials, and film scoring have kept him busy, along with a healthy balance of painting, biking, and other non-musical endeavors. in light of michnas sophomore lp, thousand thursday, though, it all seems beside the point. simply put, his latest record is a celebration of the producers love for vibrant electronic music, bothering very little with conceptual or contextual baggage.
the vinyl lp includes a code for free download of the full album.

confused transmissions , numbers flying out from the outer space. lucent is the end of a lightning bolt. shimmering clouds over a human landscape. just a rhythmic bounce, suddenly, seems to give a sense to it all. a symphony of time-warps filled of bass drums. gravite and attic music owners bruno sacco & fabrizio lapiana, together to interpret their vision of light in techno key. two different visions but converging in this superb collector release 12inch transparent vinyl. darkness from forged machines in the flames of hell from which emerge from the dub vibes sharped kicks, hovering, metallic noises, while short sounds, mind, thats the gravite universe. lucent series will be 12inch clear transparent vinyl inside a pvc deluxe bag

2015 re-issue! producers trias and baeks are old school techno berliner djs who held residency at tresor club for well over 10 years. adam x and ancient methods befriended each other in berlin in 2008. the main commonality in forging a solid friendship between them was their passion not just for techno but for the rhythmic noise side of the industrial music scene. it would only make sense with mutual respect of each others music to record a release together. here on their first collaboration they blend together their distinctive styles to create a fresh new sound of techno, industrial and arrhythmic and dysrhythmic noise machine funk

culminating the cycle of drone logic, daniel avery releases new energy, a collection of remixes including six new reworks. token records’ ace in the pack Ø phase reshapes naive response into a beautifully psychedelic techno trip whilst conforce turns the previously reflective simulrec into a militaristic stomp aimed squarely at the floor. further out still, ruthless noise experimentalist powell takes a typically esoteric approach to water jump, leaving it just as catchy in disarray as when it was first conceived.

the shadeleaf music label has finally got your attention it seems ! breakthrough 12 s across their first 5 releases have firmly established thatmanmonkz s label of love as a heavyweight deep house contender ! ever keen to open up the crease to new batsmen, the guys have assembled a deadly duo of big hitters for their their sixth innings. belarus, not perhaps the first place you d think of when it comes to solid house music, but four walls have certainly dropped more than their fair share of jams across labels of note like kolour ltd & traxx underground. here s he s teamed up with fellow grodno resident funkyjaws for a style that s firmly fixated with the roots us house blueprint, but with a fresh take, that s all their own. saine ought to need no introduction, but for those at the back, across a mere handful of releases (his sleazybeats ep was one of our fastest selling...ever !) this young talent has made quite a mark - his drifter ep on must have is one of our favourite house 12 s of recent times. what better way to demonstrate the shadeleaf spirit of collaboration then getting these two established up-and-comers to reinterpret each other s work ? live organic percussion, and the warming hiss and glow of machine circuits conspire to deliver perfectly balanced hip-shaking equations and low end theories. and that s just the f side !. flip for the s side (get it ?) and we re into theoesque territory, with a rasping riff snaking through some deft rhodes work and to-the-bone rhythms, while four walls & funkyjaws offer up a swinging and irresistible rub to wrap it all up top shelf tackle ladies and gents

the long awaited ms 08 is a split e.p between techno-rave unit minimum syndicat and the kosmik kommando, aka mike dred (rephlex, r&s, machine codes), one of the true creators of acid techno, once called the jimi hendrix of the tb-303, and partner of richard d. james within the legendary universal indicator project. no beardy hipster techno, no bullshits, just pure analog strobe-jams from the vault of rave.

pablo and shoey return just in time for festival season with 4 new bits for the front of your box. e-man groove is a massive disco-rock jam that could have been sprung from the minds of dem idjut boys, with sympathy for the devil style percussion and wild guitar riffing driving the whole thing. blazing sunshine, meanwhile, is a funky, hammond organ led version of let the sunshine in, a guaranteed hands in the air moment when dropped at the right time. disco treat is more of a modern floor-burner, closer to straight production edit with a bouncing bassline and all manner of whacked out disco sounds in the mix, not to mention breakdowns for days. rounding off the package is some classic funky soul breaks - the lads tear a chunk off bettye lavettes soul tambourine to make play it, break it on down! as sampled on stezos golden era hip hop rocker to the max.

born in the distinctively puerto rican neighborhood of lincoln park chicago, ricardo was named after legendary salsa singer ricardo ray. after major puerto rican displacement (urban renewal) ricardos parents settled in the noble square section of west town for many years. his music reflects a traditional house culture that goes beyond just sound or legendary stories. while his industry peers recite fond memories of the music box, the bismark and other musical institutions – ricardo sat in front of a big pioneer radio listening & recording mixes from chicago radio stations wrrg, wbmx am/fm & wgci which included a hefty dose of early house music, italian imports and electro. but, it was the new sound of chicago house that made a profound impact on his soul.

it was the light. that was it. she was trying to remember what brought her to this desolate, godforsaken place. the way the moon and the stars made the shadows dance, it was magic. she slipped into a trance just thinking about it, forgetting at once the decay and the damned all around her. the shadows had fallen still long ago. then the darkness poured in. it had filled her. swallowed her whole. how long had it been now? she couldnt remember. the paper of her hands, the dust in her mouth, she barely noticed. far from any road there was a massive building with a lot of concrete rooms. inside it, a labyrinth path to bid farewell.

neustadtmusik, with great pleasure, presents two excellent new tracks. dietrich & strolch have created an exquisite, smooth piece of music. the two brothers, who are known for their live sets that take their audience on a journey, have combined their passion for percussions and wicked synth sound perfectly. this track takes you to a deep underground techno dance floor where you find yourself dancing with your eyes closed and drifting away into another dimension, to the ocean, the sun and warm sand between your feet and back. sous sol s track on this release has it all, including a sense of delight that brings out a smile on your face. the rolling bass line brings in mind the siberian express rolling through the cold winter landscape of russia while at the same time there is warmth and the heart gets filled with these warm elements. this rolls parallel to a consistent build up throughout the whole track that makes this composition just perfect.

music that keeps your body busy on the dance floor while it takes your mind to exotic places far away: timboletti creates a tense atmosphere between the stripped-down power of a kickdrum and the intricate network of sounds and melodies. during the titles murrakus and wüstenlauf your inner cinema will show mysterious scenes from an oriental bazaar, at the same time your body will have to deal with a pleasant feeling of restlessness. the frequency spectrum of makrovic is invaded by tripped-out samples, reminiscent of radio transmissions from some odd parallel dimension, resulting in a groove that is deep yet uplifting. barfussbravo sounds just as alien and is just as compelling, as delirious melodies and delay cascades unfold upon tight, driving rhythm sections. mollono.bass delivers a remix that is probably even deeper, a stardust phantasy flying high upon the solid foundation of a standing bass line. in contrast, carlos shifts down a gear and reflects on the multi-dimensional anatomy of barfussbravo during a smooth downbeat version.
