the every make ep is a double-sided record, featuring 3 tracks crafted structurally for djs and emotionally for dancers. dont bother with em at home or in the car. and, if you are actually able to explode someones head on the dance floor with them, thatd be just fine. morgan alexander began building a sonic home in house music in the early nineties. having relocated in 2005 from seasonal boston to straight-sun los angeles, 2013 finds him with his fingers in as many musical pies as possible. topping them is his respected series of underground events, bottom floor, where he is featured as resident dj. the recent string of guest artists joining morgan in the booth include the likes of john tejada (palette recordings), kai alce (ndatl muzik), chris brann (wamdue project), brett dancer (track mode recordings), jordan fields (mowax), jus-ed (underground quality), boo williams (strictly jaz unit), daniel bell (7th city), recloose (planet e), mike huckaby (s y n t h), and dj sprinkles (mule musiq).

the black madonna returns to home taping with another classic release in the making! we still believe captures that early sound of chicago when you could still hear the euro and italo influences as they were re-interpreted through the beat boxes & synthesisers of the windy city, and made to jack. on the flip, home taping favourite the revenge delivers his own take on that classic sound with an understated and yet pumping rework. packed full of authentic beatbox sounds and warehouse style keys, it works it to the boom boom. last but not least, the black madonna finishes off the package with say my name - a dirty, menacing and incessant groove that makes out like a wild new street dance that just got turned loose. the black madonna is here to stay!

after a couple of well-received contributions to new breed of deep house and finest ny house 2011, house producer washerman releases a 4-track ep thats just chock full of all that great 4/4. reminiscent of works by the great kerri chandler, whos one of his major influences, the synth jabs, booming baselines and funky kick drum of tunes like the eps namesake, >be what you wanna be,< >feeling good,< and >do it< are sure to win the hearts and souls of househeads abound. lets not forget >moody life<, also offered on this ep, for those who like it a little mellower & deeper

sometimes you need to lose your mind, to regain your musical soul. for berlin dj/producer daniel steinberg, an intense touring period in the wake the releasing of his debut album shut up warranted just that

heavily infuenced by the early works of zoltar, adsum got into electronic music at an early age. then some years ago, when he had to move to earth, things got more serious. spending his time between loops he learned their language, being able to blend in like one of them. so here we go. this release represent just a friendly hallo to our listeners.

chaos is a tough, ny-house jam with 909 trim. first 3 minutes for the mix, then ending up just north of hypnotic bell house. strictly for the floor. memphis is a broken shell of a sampled break, worked and loaded under matt maaskants emotive freestyling on a concertmate mg-1. trace is the wandering groove of an excited arpeggiator, after the drum machine has left the building.

ethereal, haunted deep house music from beyond the grave, spirit-channeling from the deepest recesses of electro-spiritual obscurity. the slow to speak label presents its latest offering—a residual of the holy-era of the ny underground continuum, conjuring the ritual and pomp of the new electronic goth without abandoning its undeniable roots in the techno/deep house story. dark-matter melodies interlock in an ever off-centering orbit of sparse percussive return, while the distorted exhortations of some wandering intergalactic phantasm whisper menacingly just beneath the surface. trance-inducing, strangely unsettling and ultimately transcendent—further evidence that electronic music can transport its listeners into the fertile pastures of the sublime like any other high art. clear vinyl pressing with japanese obi.

a musical journey around the globe with music from oi va voi (london), arthur lee (memphis), manolis hiotis (athens), baba zula (istanbul), manau (paris), (dunkelbunt) (vienna), axel krygier & tremor (buenos aires), watcha clan (marseille) ... on a limited edition vinyl (incl. cd album) - only 150 copies available for distribution! many songs are available for the first (and maybe last) time on vinyl!

unxpozd presents the 4th project from dj aakmael, *aak of noise ep*, giving you a straight up dance floor heater from the start! all tracks once again offer something for the hardcore listener/collector, and of course the djs that have a love for classic deep house and vinyl!

after four impressive releases from the likes of ossie and behling & simpson, 2020 midnight visions kicks of its attack on 2013 with a new ep from the uks doc daneeka. last year saw doc team up with benjamin damage for a well received full length on 50 weapons, they live!, which stood apart for its pioneering hybridisation of house, bass and techno. here, on his own terms, doc explores a more extroverted, melodically rich variant of bass heavy house across all four tracks.

we just love those lil compilations here at quintessentials, you know that.

nach vier alben, die beim legendären john-zorn-label tzadik erschienen, fallen einem bei koby israelite begriffe wie eigenwillig , genial , produktiv , avantgardistisch und passt in keine schublade ein. aber letztlich ist der in israel geborene südlondoner - dessen musikalische reise vom klassischen klavier über den jazz zu speed-metal-drumming bis zum akkordeon führte - ständig auf der suche nach dem perfekten sound. und hierbei spielt es keine rolle, ob dieser von black sabbath, beethoven, bluegrass oder den rumänischen roma inspiriert ist. der sound ist dabei von eindringlicher schönheit, unterstrichen von der schwermütig klingenden armenischen duduk und einem wehmütigen akkordeon, und verbindet die liebe koby israelites zur musik des balkans und dem blues. jenseits des kantigen zusammentreffens von stilen und einflüssen - das album will nicht jedem und immer gefallen - findet man sich in einer welt wieder, die von einer einzigartigen musikalischen vision zusammengehalten wird, die gleichermaßen mutig wie kräftig, fremd wie süß ist.

re-issue of the original 1975 album with the majority of its rhythms from errol dunkleys album *sit and cry over you*! this is a cooperation of pressure sounds and count shellys legendary third world label. the album comes with sleevenotes by steve barker and excellent pictures from the period!

4 fantastic trax done by one of the best deep house producer right now : montel. being an avid record collector and dance music enthusiast for nearly 20 years, montel has slowly but surely cultivated his craft. feeling all nostalgic after his 20 year love affair with house music, he felt it was time to find a creative outlet for his sounds. not concerned with topping charts, being in the playlists of top djs or winning social networking popularity contests, montel is a man of simplicity. his only objective is to give back the good vibrations, making music for djs and dancers. music for sweaty basements, house partys and day time raves. nothing big, nothing clever.. just vibes

brill triple vinyl with serious deep house ... just listen.

master-class techno - about cassegrain - what should we say? they did it again. in fact alex and hüseyin had a great brilliant year in 2012 and 2013 starts stronger with this double 12?. tiamat is not just a collection of techno tracks, its one of the best techno tracks we have heard so far and everybody with some techno nerves should recognize very fast what treasure this is.

albinos has now been meaning to open communication channels with the baka pigmy tribe for quite some time, sadly to mixed results… this indeed represents a rather difficult task considering their take on the devil is a tall white man graced with white hair and red eyes! even though the baka people is a peaceful one, the legend goes that if they were to catch that albino devil, they would gut its organs out and turn those into an aphrodisiac concoction. strangely enough, albinos believes that his music just might be the best language to turn those antagonistic feelings into a communion, he even dreams of performing his tunes to the whole tribe, deep within the jungle, surrounded with exotic birds and the most hungry kind of predators! somewhat at times on the verge of irony, his music definitively trades with sketchy, raw and deep emotions, always sincere in the making: always a few steps away from the pre-shaped house and techno idioms, he offers his very own take on dance music, a most peculiar one. solely using old cheap hardware and an antique atari, the tracks at hand are one-take live performances, brutal incarnations of albinos simple virgin vision. as the quest for the baka people goes on, the antinote team is proud to help shed light on the journey of this obscure producer hailing from the grand north.

people have all the power - they just have to remember it, findet steve mason und sorgt mit seinem neuen eklektischen meisterstück *monkey minds in the devils time* für revolutionären wind in der flaute der aktuell doch sehr unpolitischen popwelt. das neue album besticht nicht nur durch seinen inhaltlichen tiefgang. dass der ex-beta band sänger mason auf stolze fünfzehn jahre erfahrung als musiker zurückgreift und produzent dan carey (hot chip, bat for lashes) seine finger im spiel hatte, merkt man dem album an. das glanzstück *monkey minds in the devils times* ist an musikalischem facettenreichtum zwischen pop, indie und elektronik kaum zu überbieten.

the unifying atmosphere of the latest prruk 12inch by andreas florin is a hazardous one. with sublime high pitched tones and soaring sidechained beats, this is a top notch dancefloor record with elevating elements which gradually blend into a perfect package. with the dominant sound being reminiscent and yet thumping this is an all round venture into techno music. something for the collection as the sophomore package thats coming up is just as exciting as the first one.

take a long and wistful stare out of routines window. beyond the urban sprawl and endless nine-to-five tape loop, pass the minds monotonous prattling and humdrum hum of breadwinning, losing and general existing, somewhere out there burns a summer eternal, with all its romances still in tact. a place full of sweaty nights and protracted lazy days where the breeze teases with salty lips, and the sun leaves its freckled kiss on basking knees and cheeks. this is where everything happened just so, where bittersweet memories were made and mistakes first revealed their lessons. here is where you can think, reflect or simply escape. here is your exit.

persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world!in this era of nü-disco, space disco, cosmic disco, disco house and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court. let the labels fall and just get it movin.

jtc is a phenomenon. one alias of the multi-talented tadd mullinix. one part of a mind that also houses dabrye, sk-1, charles manier, and halves of tnt, 2am/fm and x2. this time round, on park days, he flexes a house side that has not been seen too often in his career of 13 years. whether the driving groove of south brooks, the late night drum machine jam of argo, creals ever evolving scatter, or the delicate gallup, park days is one of those records where everyone has a different favourite. ie - a good one. we are honoured to release this mans music. a man that continually remains out of the spotlight, yet is revered by your favourite producers for at least one of his many aliases. a man that ignores trends, hype, trickery, and just returns every now and again to nudge that bar a little bit higher than he left it last.

yotam avni comes from israel. young, promising and with a undisputable talent, yotam is a producer who could have easily been born and raised in detroit. his first release with soul research is dedicated to his great friend danny bar, a young artist who died prematurely just over a year ago. a song for danny is an emotionally strong ep, melodic and deep. the remixes have been handed over to the legendary techno artist orlando voorn, of dutch nationality but with a detroit heart

this record is a soundtrack for excentric nightlife. bringing back to life images of wild parties at artists workspaces in paris in the 1920s, early mornings in belgian nightclubs in the late 1980s and driving classic italian sports cars during long hot summer nights. but this is not just a dream, we are here to live this life! enfant terrible serves you contemporary music to spice up your nighttime activities... limited edition of 350 copies.

ltd 2013 repress... ah, romanians. doncha just love em. well, it appears that, yes, we very much do here at fof as over the years we seem to have nurtured our fair share of talent haling from those shores and here we are yet again with another bright young thing in the shape of nu zau.pason a dark and trippy early morning ride, haunting pads and vocal snatches really bringing home the heady vibe over the course of its 10 minute running length. de ja vu on the flip acts as a nice counterpoint with its more optimistic outlook - a frisky tech house groover reminiscent of productions from the early days of londons tech house scene, still with an underlying sense of trippiness but one more associated with hot shimmering days spent outdoors than pasons sweatier dark room feel

the weird house music composers from brazil strike again with four slices of spaced-out dance floor sounds. psychedelic is just one of the adjectives that come to mind when hearing brazilian duo colors sound system. on their first single for lovemonk, sao paolo brothers jota wagner and wander a, who call themselves weird house music composers, continue on the path to a higher state of consciousness with four slices of mind-altering disco and house splashed with spacemen 3-like vocals and seventies prog guitars and organs. just listen to the almost eleven minutes of *ar* if you dont believe. or *1974*. or *poeira lunar*, for that matter. the beatless title track is the only one staying under the seven-minute limit, and it is also the last track on the ep, like a much-needed comedown. space is the place, as the great sun ra said.

azimuth ep showcases this producers fresh take on electronic music across a range of tempos. dmarc cantu remixes the eps most dancefloor-friendly track, azimuth, lending it a deeper and more brooding edge. alis is the new project from italo-bulgarian londoner, sabina plamenova (formerly subeena). this new pseudonym reflects a more personal and vocal-lead endeavour, in her own words, not just a music about music approach but also an outlet for her own personality. a big name for 2013 and beyond.

a surprising house release, muredo, an ep with a generous acoustics in which the rythm is frontal but the story is told just behind. the raf are two habitual offenders of the well done track. when the muredo track slowly wakes you up and meticulously tries hard to describe the morning gestures, murefa carry on with a breathless ride. the second inspiration is only taken when everything had come to an end, in a calmness orchestrated by val at the helm of an abstract groovy remix. this ep is the first signature on the recent french label seconde and a lot of things are supposed to come soon.

culprit continue their winter scouting tour of europe in search of young producers on the brink of creative greatness. for their 32nd ep release, the label makes a stop in barcelona, recruiting the emerging talent of argentian-born nicolas abalos aka shall ocin to join the cause. ocins crash into my love ep is part of an exciting first wave of accomplished music arriving from the artist and expands the labels exploration of deep, just left-of-center modern house music.

noir brings us back the 90s with a new ep from supernova just timeless house music.

turn on the strobe lights and the fog machine. shtum returns with its second record, this time by dresdens very own kryptic universe. his ep comes with five cuts full of dark and gritty future jazz. his techno funk is playful as it is evocative. just listen to the bass line in *a light in the box* and the appropriately titled *critters funk*. not to mention the crazy piano in the title song and the rather hard-hitting *dark sky*. on top we got the mighty xdb on remix duties and his take on *signals*. again, the illustration on the b-side label is by aram haydeyan.

the new year starts for raum with the second single by two of our key artists teaming up again, namely christian burkhardt and sascha dive. the a side is produced by sascha alone and is definately standing out from his more house related productions of the last months. halfway is a true peak time monster that already got deck sharks nervous throughout the end of last summer in a few sets of djs like ricardo villalobos or raresh for example just to name the most important ones.

just when you thought you knew what you were going to get from flashmob they switch it up completely, stamping their mark of quality and proving their versatility as producers they turn in an old school acid house stomp. dark, rumbling bass, spoken female vocal, and complimentary 303 acid squelches make both the garage mix and panorama mix equally at home in a field around the m25 circa 88 as it does on the floor at dc10 in 2013. watch out. acid house is back!

like the satisfying first sip of soda water spritz, roland tings debut ep, *milky way*, bubbles, barms, and beads through your body. roland tings is rohan newman, a melbourne producer who, like recent rubies holy balm, forces, and canyons, proves there is just more and more greatness behind the great and powerful oz. melodic acid trips doused with swish-ticky-booms, like a rubber ball in space with endless bump and bounce. sweet off his japanese jaunt, speeding things down with sapphire slows shows, newmans taste is pure effervescence and buoyancy. but he has got a percussive stickiness as well, a vim/vigor that raps and rips through trax touch-ups and echo-plexes. not the nineties but the none-ties – no glimmer glam, or sampladelic vocal vacations, or happy house heartbeats. he ends the creamy *milky way* with a brilliantly wonky theme that springs like a wind-up toy gone loose. roland tings, dings, and zings.
