many reggae artists are lucky to make one breakthrough to the music mainstream. horace andy has managed not only to make a mark with *skylarking*, but also to deliver the definitive reggae version of soul singer-songwriter bill withers evergreen *aint no sunshine*. one of reggaes most distinctive singers, andy has managed to sound as credible delivering social commentary as he does love songs. as one critic put it, *the fragile, vulnerable qualities of his voice could invariably be relied upon to add dignity and sincerity to songs*, the proof is everywhere on this compilation.

following on from the massive finger edits release in october last year we are thrilled to welcome back reverend p for another home run on basic fingers. the a-side *angels in africa* is a deep and soulful uptempo number. the smooth percussion infuses softly with its modern synth textures and provides the perfect backing to bumping in your 85 pontiac parisienne. on the flipside the good reverend is offering another rework so tasty your dancefloor will be munching out of the palm of your hand, *just in strawberry*.

4 track release with 3 originals that touch on deep house, italo disco & cosmic sounds while san franscio house-sleaze afficionado anthony mansfields remix provides a dubby dose of dance floor funk.

wolfram says: i started to record the track cant remember when i was in africa and some riots happened in egypt in 2013. it was a weird time so it turned out to be a dark tune with robotic vocals. i recorded the vocals for the track talking to you when i was on tour with andy butler in the hotel room on my macbook air. basically its him saying this beat is talking to you and i recorded some burp sounds on the flight and train home. i invited him to my home studio to change the demo vocals, but he felt asleep on the chair next to me. so, i thought maybe i should just the use the demo macbook vocals.

part 3 of 5 in the classic series features material previously released (andres and john tejada & arian leviste) on the m&g compilation >beneath the surface< but never pressed on vinyl. also featured are planned but unreleased nuggets from brad peterson & ewan jansen.

anunnaki cartel is back with release no.4! this time its a solo ep from chris mitchell. 4 tracks of dope analog sounding chicago techno & acid, just the way we like it! limited copies, dont snooze.

secret name for a big artist. the end user has now become obsolete. we are just an entity that sell goods. we are not the target but on the contrary a mean to make profit.

just in time for the warm weather the king.of.nothing is back again with another double sider 12inch. this time kon reworks/remixes from the original multi track sessions, tee ess munks >kon kon vie & candidate for kon< two anthemic nyc bombs flipped with pure class that should work well on todays floors.

after last years album *love & devotion* the husband and wife duo of mike paradinas and lara rix-martin follow up with *weird drift*. the album shows just how much their ability to write confident and thoughtful pop songs has developed, while still being able to retain the sleepy cushion of steamy synth pop that made the first record so rewarding to listen to. this time album features the vocals of a vezelay, a.k.a. french singer and producer matthieu le berre, who brings a gentle poised falsetto to the duos productions along with a delicate but hopeful angst. the vinyl lp comes with download code for the full album.

some words from the man himself on way he chose these tracks: make me feel: classic disco track from sylvester. always gets the dance floor completely pumped. love2love: i love everything that donna and giorgio have done. love to love you baby is definitely a big favourite. just wanted to put my spin on it. great vibe for the early hours of the morning.hes mine: one of my favourite rnb tracks from the 90s given some lntg muscle.

back in 2009, exactly five marches ago, culprit began its journey. 5 years of existence is a significant mark for a label and worthy of some introspection. with its new release, the los angeles­based label celebrates one of its most recognisable elements, the standard hotel rooftop, the site of the labels signature parties for the past 6 years: its been more that just a location – the rooftop has become the essential ingredient of culprits philosophy. inspiring a successful three-part compilation series, above the city, which has united some of the best young production talent around, the series has showcased a particular brand of warm summer­time sound, modern yet timeless. each remix is a culprit debut for all of the remixers. yet, each of them is part of the extended group of friends of the label, a like­minded tight­knit collective

miss djax is proof that age doesnt necessarily always bring peace. for 25 years now, she has stomped on the face of techno and acid with hard punishing beats and radioactive 303 sounds.
with her new release *from within* she goes back to the acid sound of the nineties. she recorded the 4 tracks live in her little analog home studio just like in the old days. *from within* is a tribute to her old-skool fans. a release on solid 180 grams yellow coloured vinyl in a limited edition of 200 copies only.

super rare california sunshine soul, limite to 1000 numbered copies! this lp is the perfect combination of crossover and modern soul filled with strong black male group harmonies and funky instrumentation, a recording to savor the palette of soul and funk collectors across the board. this release isnt just about the vocalists but also the variety of talented musicians and unique instrumentation involved in creating this timeless testament to west coast african-american consciousness of the late 70s and early 80s.

brill deep house label compilation, just listen

three tracks of frantic back alley under the table techno by brooklyns matthew morandi and max ravitz aka inhalants. scathing, morphing, abstract workouts for the floor, these three tracks are rough and ready for club use to the fullest. just take heed if the local pd are in the vicinity.

hetem releases 20 minutes of raw, menacing, evolving 4x4 sound for new york based label grinch productions. this release is treating techno as more than just a style of dance music, for hetem this is a soundtrack for long, hot, humid summer spent in belgrade suburbs. this 3 track ep will immerse you into the melancholy filled streets of one of the biggest eastern european cities with a thriving electronic music and clubbing scene. birth of trust will engulf you with its pure analogue darkness, hypnotizing you until you move.

the explosive initiation of one electronicas -1210- series comes from ann harbours d marc cantu. the series will consist of one twelve inch and one ten inch vinyl. no mp3 s as per with one electronica and its main aims are to give the artist freedom to do what ever he or she wishes! the extensive palate of sounds available on this pack range from slower ambience influenced grooves, outright -jak-, industrial grit pursuing to intense, pace-ridden, electronic mayhem, as heard in microdots

comprised of eight tracks, periscope blues is the culmination of a mission gone wrong. music for the stranded, the lost, those backed into a corner with nowhere to go, or maybe a reflection of sad individuals panicking on a tropical vacation gone awry. somber yet very tense drifting off radar machine electronics that feel like a blistering sun beating down on decaying beach remains as time crawls on. that or the equivalent to working the grill summers at jones beach and stealing from the register just to get a little more…
pressing on grey coloured vinyl.

what can we say about redondo they delivered the huge track, love too deep, earlier this year... so this new ep is just another hot hot wax!

asan has been making music for some time. he is geographically the closest artist to lampuka records, yet lamp004 has taken us the longest to complete thus far. we had hoped this to be asans debut release but we were pipped to the post whilst he was on his travels. gladly though we have what we think is a superfluous release…and well worth the wait. no remixes here, just four solid bangers.

part 3 of vinyl release from the naturally cd this is a pure and natural look and listen... to dana ruh producer extraordinaire! deeep serious house music! pressing on grey, multicolour marbled vinyl.

suburb return to our shores here at thema with a new clutch of tracks drenched in their trademark swirling soul and assured groove. embracing earnest vocals and a hand-played ethic in their music, thema038 cements the fact that these two are rising in the ranks of adventurous deep house producers.

p. lopezs new ep may be called the same beat. however, rest assured that this is most definitely a showcase of the paraguayan urban and tech house producers chameleonic capabilities. we ve seen lo¬pez on labels such as dogmatik, tirk and rationalism just to name a few, and he s even grabbed the attention of berghain who welcome him for his debut performance there in april. now he stamps his sonic dexterity all over this five track dark techno aeon ep. expect to be led through a progression of styles and emotions, fist pumps and foot taps all in the name of true quality music.

with credits between them ranging from hypercolour, future boogie, fear of flying, southern fried, save you and wolf, dj/producers james welsh and ste roberts team up under their r&w pseudonym for this, the 7th release on initials with its clear mandate from the word go back in 2012 to release only the most underground house and techno, initials (helmed by ste himself, hypercolours alex jones and 1trax label boss dave elkabas) delivers the goods yet again with the socks & scandals ep. at just 2 tracks, there is no need to say more, with opener meat an understated mechanical exploration into the art of evolving and hypnotic beat-crafting, while bucket sheep employs rhythmic detail in a broader soundscape to great effect, offsetting the incessant marching bass expertly.

music is strongly linked to memory, sometimes just a simple note will trigger a deep feeling of nostalgia or emotion. the new homesick series was created by music enthusiasts who are living half a world away from their birthplaces. their concept is a play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless, tracks which feel fresh but retain their memories. for the first release, the homesick team have curated three pieces by drop out orchestra, late nite tuff guy, zimmer, and amadei. doo have carefully reworked -no scrubs- into a warm, bass driven, disco jam suited for the dancefloor, alntg has provided a solid groove theory lesson as only he can, and the ep is rounded-off with a special (double) bonus track for all the people who love 80s-era french pop music, reworked by zimmer and the asia-based newcomer amadei.

talk about saving the best until last. if you thought that the first two parts of awanto 3s opel mantra trilogy were good, just wait until you hear part 3. it delivers a brilliantly breathless conclusion to what could well be one of the strongest debut albums of 2014. by now, you should know the script. amsterdam producer steven van hulle has previously shown glimpses of his musical talents, either with sporadic solo productions (see his superb 2010 debut on rush hour, for five), or alongside friends from the dutch scene (san proper, young marco and tom trago, in particular). opel mantra, a debut album split across three 12 inch singles (a cd version will follow later in the year), is his big reveal – our first chance to wallow in his unique and thrilling fusions of deep house, detroit techno and a multitude of vivid global influences.

with sincopat 21 we start a new chapter in the label, we ask the illustrator philip cassirer to create a really special artwork for the next 10 eps, is a mosaic made up with ten pieces starting in the 21th release and ending with the 30th, we call it sincopat island and just 300 limited vinyl copies will me made for every single release, so you will just be able to build the puzzle getting our next 10 releases.

the 9th vinyl release is here and we re very glad that, after a long time, we finally have the noisemaker back on the label. and this time on wax. the noisemaker, new label / agency regular member, has putted all of his finesse in 4 new outstanding productions. this new ep is an experience with various feelings emerging from the different moods of the tracks. sometimes it goes on with broken beats, sometimes it is just straight and it always comes with hypnotic, tripping raw and acid synthetizers, entertaining rythmics, all wrapped in dark atmospheres. the ep is supported by a high quality remix from american techno legend paul birken that delivered a real cutting edge rework of the original track -processing-. more than a remix, we could call it a reinterpretation. paul s very own flow is immediately hitting with patterns running crazy and an intense energy which is raised by heavy bass drums and slashing percs.

6th borough project have just dropped their second lp borough to borough to a great reaction and garnering much praise from djs and press alike.

praymond is a french artist and long time record collector. after years of travelling and playing across europe and america, he decided to release his first ep. this record is not just an elegant dj tool but its also a really smart take on how to bring a discrete touch of acoustic in a music usually dominated by analogue sounds. 3 tracks on this ep. huguette uses a lot of acoustic elements to deliver an epic dancefloor track chamalowe slows the tempo in order to make the pattern heavier timeless memory is a tribute to dub techno with an acoustic take, touch of platon records

another mysterious release from the take the elevator camp. once again no info just mechanical rhythms, dry acidic synths and weird deathly vocals.. just the way we like it from this great designer label. highly recommended!

andy meecham is a man of many musical incarnations and has been since the early 90s. following on from projects like the now dormant bizarre inc and revived dub-disco duo chicken lips, it is as the emperor machine that he explores his most experimental sounds. to date there have been three full length albums on dc recordings after the project was initially started with the idea of creating music using just one synth, the roland sh-3a. the results lay out the staffordshire mans love of vintage synthesisers for all to see, and combine tough edged disco beats with more cerebral cosmic melodies into alluring soundscapes that bend your mind and drive your feet. as well as a slew of 12s and lps, the emperor machine has also turned his hand to remixes of giants like moby, daft punk and royksopp, and has previously taken a live and inspiringly psychedelic incarnation of the project to clubs and festivals across the planet.

kiwanuka, a 25 year-old uk native of ugandan heritage, was raised in north london where he split his time between session work and local gigs. along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to communion records, then polydor, and has since performed throughout europe and north america too touring in direct support of adele. he made his way through nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. the a-side *you ve got nothing to lose* is an original composition, featuring the buzzards dominic davis on upright bass and cory younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer lillie mae rische on fiddle. their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous blue series. the single also features a chilling rendition of townes van zandts infamous *waitin round to die* on the b-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the a-side.

words spoken in another land and in another time echo through mikaels record. before the light of morning shines over his world he sings songs without words, madrigals for the petulant synths and austere drums, in an effort to stall out the first rays of the sun for just one more moment.
