here we have a limited pressing containing three raw, underground house remixes of tracks from the forthcoming lp of a certain essen based producer. ava label boss damiano von erckert goes jacking on an uptempo old school detroit techno influenced jam. homewreckers head deeper on their beautiful mix of high needs low whilst ugly drums absolutely kills it with an amazing stripped back disco approach that shows just why hes such a hotly tipped producer for 2012. essentia

kraak & smaaks new album *chrome waves* is already off to a flying start with debut single *the future is yours* topping club charts in the uk and germany and getting the coveted tune of the month accolade in mixmag. featuring ben westbeech on vocals and with a righteous summer groove that has made it a big ibiza hit, the track is a positive and uplifting vocal house anthem at a time when much of the scene is going deeper underground.

nice price deal !!! after ugur projects great success on subotnik, the ostwind guys presents another 2 track 10inch weapon from this sympatic turk based in istanbul. diren & gezi are two tracks made for the dj and the crowd. diren comes with his deep moving bass and nice minimalistic clicking heads which reminds us on the up to date mini tech sound. the hook of gezi speeks for itself, combined with a forward going groove, this track was made to rock! a great new spezi, without many rethoric, just to the point.

a new name in the underground scene is coming up in europe: u-more. with the first release (u-more 001) he got the respect of djs who love the quality sound of vinyl. u-more just arrived in berlin, is now ready for his second release.

2014 repress! we are very glad to celebrate the 10th subotnik with romanian man of the moment ada kaleh. again he satisfied with high quality minimalism techhouse on his third vinyl only release. styled up with a lot of details and little soundscapes, it is just a journey to listen and dance to this music.. you will get what you expect!

polymath james leyland kirby must surely have one of the most confounding cvs in the business: he spent years taking the piss out of the music industry with anthems rallying against the (vv)mcps, he notoriously fell out with various well known record labels for reasons you ll just have to google, goaded aphex twin with a series of tributes and channelled his love of everything from falco (rock me amadeus), chris de burgh, frankie goes to hollywood and stockport karaoke nights into a stream of increasingly bizzare 7 s back in the early noughties. but at the same time he was responsible for releasing some of the very earliest material from boards of canada (hell interface: 1997), made a ruck of frankly groundbreaking industrial electronic records, brought new beat to the worlds attention and, in 1999, made his first album as the caretaker, a project that would go on to release some of the most loved ambient/ lynchian albums of recent times.

ltd 2x12 inch dj edition, just a house classic

this is the start of our path in the darkness, in search of the brightest light. rectoversion its not just a label but a life concept based on the notion of dualism thats the reason why we have an original track for side with their remixes, a leitmotiv useful to show the complete face of each of them. so you can feel the black and the white of these two tracks by alpha code & future 16, with reworkings by tadeo and area fortyone.

its a fact: plector 005 strikes back with a full techno analogue ep. as a starter on the a side, noticed for his ep on m_rec ltd and his featured track on plector lp003, stanislav tolkachev delivers two linear, energetic , greasy techno as he used to do. no loops, no break, just heavy beatz to hit the dancefloor in a dramatic way. a perfect weapon to not miss your target. for the main course, we can find fran hartnett, well known for his it was written in vapour track and the great number of remixes he did on various labels. he stays faithfull to himself with this two trackers side. astonishing breaked techno at its best. ideally to start a big party! as we said, since plector become a reality: just techno, no compromise at all

chicago native jordan fields drops an awesome 4 track ep for those who love chicago sound. a tape called 1990 - this lost track was created 2 decades ago with heavy influence from mr fingers. the just an illusion re-work feels like the soundtrack to a break dance movie.

the kicks started as a collective of different musicians, electronic & instrumentalists, that gathered together under one roof just for the fun of it, coming together and jamming at their own expense. a jam is a jam. theres no aim, no target. it is free from expectations and just like that the tapes piled up with no specific style or genre lines. whatever happens, happens is pretty much the attitude that created a label, not out of necessity but out of convenience of being free to release the more outstanding cuts recorded, regardless of their personal definition. the first release is from the curators and creators of the project, maayan nidam & alex picone. the record starts with the psychedelic tone of alice in the desert, continues to a still hypnotic yet down to earth 020 and ends with the stabbing butt shaker think about it. the next releases will continue featuring picone & nidam, joined by cool cats like aquarius heaven, san proper & cesar merveille.

frames of reference is the some 12 years in the making debut album from uk based techno producer o phase. early support by marcel dettman & ben klock.

cloaked in black, dimly lit and sparkling with dust, warm communications announces umbra volume 1. much in the spirit of adam xs traversable wormhole series, warm is bringing you a collection of anonymous releases that remind to remember drum and bass at its true heart: cracking snares, kick drums hitting your chest, subtle pads playing in an offcentered unison over 808 tones drowning distant thunder. these are the tunes you hear in a mix and say, who was that? the tunes that have made you wake up the next morning and type *id?* in the comments page. the tunes that do not even need to be named. warm communications umbra is truly about the art.
umbra volume 1 is a two-track ep that evokes omni trio and saw-era aphex twin, rumbling sine-heavy bass under ringing melody, computed chords and clean, crisp drums. this is a collectable, limited-edition series labeled appropriately with secretive sewer-grate artwork. umbra volume 1 is lurking there, underground, looking up through the shadows. it is up to you to find out just who is waiting there.

the classic is back , 2013 repress !! just a must have nugget

hanne & lore are finally home again with a groovy pounding ep. the needle touches the a-side and immediately releases the first euphoric and crackling sounds of supergirl. a true tech house firework, which ignites itself without having hanne & lore lose themselves in too many bells and whistles. the supergirl leaves the stage and makes room for a bass line that is looking for its partner. man oh man, you say to yourself, while tapping to the music. completely lost in thought, you get thrown back into the electronic life by cascandys synth-shots packed amazing rework. monaberry sees its 19th offspring come to life and it is just as strong as her brothers and sisters

two brand-new songs by half hawaii, the band of sammy dee and bruno pronsato. no mp3 , just vinyl

at the start, electronic pure sound (eps) is a militant association that aims to the emancipation of the underground electronic music. our common influence lays in early techno & house music productions from detroits musical pionneers

zur eule is a track with reassuring and melodic flow under refreshing house-drums. two oppositions with just a big matching effect.maenstroem created an remix out of the deepest parts from the original. monotone basslines with a little touch of a acid charm inside

seuil is back on eklo with new sound experimentation. after using only the mpc for his last record on the label, he has decided to expand to other devices to express his feelings about modern house music. getting into modular synthesis and using two famous modern machine drums that you will perhaps recognize... but still no computer sequences in the circuit, in an attempt to make advanced and modern house music just with hardware.

reissue ep featuring 4 hard-to-find classics from northern soul hero edwin starr. blessed with a powerful voice, he also showed great skill & innovation in his productions creating masterpieces in wild variety of styles from lo-fi minimal funk to hi-octane disco.

the title track for schallbox015 is delivered by none other than label boss steve cole himself. with a driving groove, playfully set chords and vocals by her majestys sound (aka alexander friedrich), the original version asks every dancer for the *last dance*. or then, is this just the beginning the cast of remixers, consisting of rené bourgeois & dan caster, as well as the glitz, lines up in perfect sequence and will again set every dance floor on fire!

toolbox is so proud of this wax. i discover somatic responses with their very first ep on cfet, and i still dig for any of their music. whatever it was with cavage, with ant-zen or with dbn. but its true to say techno became more and more rare with them. and this time we hang on with four unrealesed techno and hardcore tunes from somatic responses! the sound is just acid and crazy of course, but this is not oldschool, this is music, probably the best musical ep on acid night.

just dixon style

oneoffs volume 3 offers just like the previous volume four new cuts from four different producers. first up we got swedish producer jonas rathsman and *yes i am*, a lush deep house track that is both heartfelt and sublime. let it breathe on a large sound system for maximum effect! ending the a-side is duo twinpeaks funk-fuelled ride *not that tech house - dj tool dropped by paris hilton you were searching for*. a track that would fit right into any peak time set, even by paris hilton. want from pixel82 is a punchy track with its scattered synth chords, jerky hats and a thick groove followed by *life is a gamble* where jesse futerman takes us on a soul inspired journey of deft sample manipulation

what we feel for max graef might just be our biggest man-crush ever. we came across his music through his own label box aus holz and were just as stoked as he is to have him as our second release.

since day one, radiq has been showing an affinity for the afro-centric funkiness and carefully-honed sound design of modern days minimal music. as in many of his previous tracks, all six songs of >vida noir< has this certain kind of unyielding quality - long, hypnotic grooves with muted kick drum set the stage for more emancipated experiments in texture and sound design. on >a long hot summer break<, for example, the effect is utterly obvious as kicking its ass into gear with syncopated drums and strain of warm chords before animated vocal sample slips in like fingerprint. while deeply seductive interplay of those chugging percussion gives way to delighted horn of >a-dieu<, warm chord and acoustic guitar of >calling< is perfect example for radiq’s masterful sound and texture. >machine codes modified< has rather restrained structure for him, but tightly woven drums speaks eloquently about its carefully arranged funkiness and dance floor functionality. despite their repetitiveness, its surprising how well these productions forming cohesive solidarity as an album. presumably, it owes a lot to wide tonal vocabulary which is radiqs hallmark - these tracks has something concentrated, vivid qualities. this album sits just at the edge of the dance floor, but also performs its exceptional strength on intense home listening. dusky synth and truncated surge of bass of >vida noir< constructing something dark, before closing this album with modulated afro-acoustic guitar and deep falsetto voice (by the producer himself) of >rondo<. this album offers up an engaging and comprehensive amalgamation from the inquisitive sound by the maestro

it is jam citys turn to deliver a batch of sweaty, streamlined dancefloor weapons on the 6th installment of the club constructions series. the minimalism and intensity of jersey club music remains a huge influence on the whole night slugs camp, and while jerseys impact can be felt across the cc series, jam city channels those devastating ghostly kick drums like none other. continuing on from where he left off with club favourites *the courts* the *how we relate to the body*, jam drops 5 lean and intense drum workouts build from scrap metal and primed for warehouse use. they move between thudding midrange persistence and just-sub-and-air minimalism, framed by jammed drum machine rhythms and splashes of re-sampled colour. jam decorates these sturdy and well-deployed undercarriages with silvery detail, percussion fragments, broken talkboxes, whispered vox and simple, beautiful chords.

when irr track hound ada goes sniffing around the corners in cologne, she means business. one can imagine her happy panting when she learned that she just intercepted unbelievably huge and simultaniously unreleased material from matt karmil. here is the result of this strange event. matt karmil is letting us all inhale his scent.

ddsr005 comes from the new york city based newcomer edgar m. a house producer by trade, this is edgar ms debut release but it doesnt show, demonstrating an ear for sound aesthetics and dynamics that immediately caught the attention of deep down slam. his track >oscillate< is a little masterpiece, rich with musicality and vintage sounding production techniques that are reminiscent of early strictly rhythm. this ep sounds just like it came straight out of 1991 and was entirely produced on vintage hardware/analog based equipment. to complement this release we have zurich based house producer donato capozzi on the remix duties who delivers a great dub version of >that strut<. this is a release for the lovers and vintage sounding house diggers out there, ny touch guaranteed!

french producer kool vibes returns with a third offering on his own self titled label, continuing to mine that sound classically rooted in the early 90s east coast swing of new york and new jersey. vibes abound on > u got me< with the titular vocal hook leading a orchestra of bouncing percussive rhythms, spritely neon dipped keys and an infectious bassline thump, whilst > house music< shows kool vibe dipping into the sounds of vintage murk productions with equal aplomb

keep your concentration (original mix) brings you back once again the duo of letkolben & mike anderson. after their earlier success this spring with their first collaboration on the just the truth ep

somethings are just done better when they are done together and the same can be said about soul button and sasch s latest collaborative work unfold . the two steyoyoke men have come together to show just how passionate they are about producing music that is rich with feeling and emotion.

major people is a new label from santiago salazar. the debut track *new beginnings* is more of a theme song for salazar as he introduces the major people label. modulating synthes can be heard throughout the track and the catchy bassline will warm any dance floor.
*technik* is a slice of sleek, contemplative techno that is far out on a late-night tip, leaving only a bouncing bassline and skipping tech-house beat to hold down the groove amongst the tune’s more ethereal sounds. on the remix, chicagos defend:r (ricardo mirandas alter-ego) takes apart the original to form a hybrid electro style remix laced with sub bass grooves and just the right amount of synths to take it to the next level.
this is the beginning of much more to come from major people.
