cin cin is back with their first release of 2017, complete with a snazzy new makeover. musically the quality continues with dublins new jackson following up excellent releases on hivern discs and permanent vacation with 2 new deep cuts, one of which may be somehow vaguely familiar…. on the flip new kid on the bloc elliott lion serves us two peaky discoacidtrax poised for some hands in the air moments.

it really feels like we (aka mad mats & tooli) have been around way longer than 5 1/2 years with local talk, but it s really true what they say, time flies when you re having fun! from what started as a somewhat simple and almost primitive urge to create a small house imprint has now grown into a much bigger affair. we really tried hard to keep the label from getting stuck in any genre (remember 90s house?) and to always keep the local talk relevant, curious, diverse and with a healthy dose of underground mentality. from our very first release with bassfort s excellent moon shadow in the summer of 2011, we had a crystal clear vision of what local talk should represent... house music in any way, shape or form! over the years we released soulful, disco, jack, afro, vocal, deep, jazz, tech, latin, old school, acid, uk, berlin, new jersey, detroit and of course chicago inspired house music. if it made us bump...we put it out! this brings us up to today and about +80 releases later. we thought about how we best could sum up these first 5 1/2 years and immediately the image of blaze s classic album 25 years later popped up. besides the fact that it s an amazing album cover it also a good representation when different musical genres fuse together. it s not strictly a house album but just as well a r&b, reggae and soul album. this fusion and variation of house sounds is something that we ve tried to capture on our 5 1/2 years later compilation, split into two parts. on part 1 you ll find a dark bassline driven house jam from art of tones (check the mad sax!), a proper deep journey jam from nyc s dj spinna, a blaze homage with that classic new jersey sound from sean mccabe, and a bumpy world/jazz inspired cut straight outta brescia from wonder kid corrado bucci. all in all we think we got most angles covered and hopefully this album will make you spread that chalk on the dance floor and get down...local talk style!

newcomer cody currie looks to better listen records to host his sophomore ep after lighting things up with his debut on pusic late in 2016. the effort is stacked with deep disco stylings similar to that of sample + synth maestros brame & hamo and fouk. its an exquisitely layered effort from the london kid, one which will please the intellect and dancefloor demand equally.

what is footwork house jam (fw)? first of all it is a long-running club night in moscow, russia, dedicated to real house music and house dance culture. started in 2010 as a small project, influenced by sound and visual esthetics of 90 s house parties in new york and chicago, fw soon has become the biggest creative community of dancers in russia, gaining strong local following and international reputation. it is the birthplace and home for leading moscow dance crews. various artists ep -footwork house jam #1- is a homage to the global house culture and the eponymous moscow-based club night in particular. the idea behind this compilation is to provide the fuel for house dance culture and house movement to expand further on, blurring the boarders and eliminating the prejudices of the present times.

new kid felix leifur made quiet a stir with his debut release on dirt crew last year. the icelandic juggernaut comes from the striving reykjavik music scene and is working closely with the lagaffe tales guys on building a new northern house empire. since his debut hes been working hard on creating a more varied vision of his unique lo slung hip hop approach to house music. with this ep he offers six new outings that have one thing in common, very warm and moody sounds ranging from disco through jazz and hip hop. were certain that he will continue to further cement his name in the coming years and were looking forward to working with him on plenty of exciting projects. opening with eyelids, felix delivers a rough, deep and dark house cut with broken beats, warped piano loops and twisted sampling throughout. classy has a smoky jazz feeling, kept tight with clever beat programming while evolving around a catchy sax motif. our personal fav is the title track, in general, a stunning broken beat house jam, smooth and loose, with swirling keys and a funk flavoured bass. the b-side begins with midwinter, a dance floor gem on a straight up junket. its deep, forward moving and bass driven, much like his track feels like that featured on our deep love compilation in 2016. yet another highlight for us is apollo, theres not many records out there that sound quite like this, thoroughly warped and contorted, depraved strings and a hypnotising rhodes arc and strain until the bass drops and it all falls in place psychedelic beauty! he closes with mine, a dope lo fi hip hop beat that casually wraps our ears, an ice cold soul infused piece.

the record opens up with the poisonous title-track “two scorpios”, where sharp analogue leads lean on a relentless disco-funk groove, thrusting us out straight against the sweaty walls of the chicago’s muzic box. the airy and enchanting spirals of “solenoid” create a detachment for a sonic trip through circling arpeggios and sparkles. on the flip side, we reconnect abyssy to the “young soulomon” of early 90’s by a warm and robotics dusty house. the mood turns definitely more freaky with “slomo kid”: sampling divertissement with a punkish flavour and emphatic rhythmics, it is the perfect tune to shake down the whole ball of wax.

vinyl only!003 comes from new kid on the block dj swagger, fresh from his debut 12 on natural sciences, here we 3 super deep club jams from the baltimore inspired 1s & 2s to the straight up deep house flavours of get lit and the a1 bomb lost!

a fistful of wax is an extension for some very special projects of our beloved deep house skylax records’ sub – label wax classic. for this 3rd release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by some of the best deep house producers at the moment.a1 is done by some hot new guys straight from minsk s80 & overture “what’s up”.a2 has been made by kid mark “got to know” who released some hot tunes with nick beringer through swink music.while on the b side we have also 3 bomb tracks featuring first on b1 rosenhaft “ccmf” who’s done some tracks for 124 recordings too.b2 is done by the great alexander moralez & house of kotu “suffer” who is completely hot right now, throwing up parties in st petersburg, this track is clearly a pure deep house anthem.b3 and last is mike lee aka love island “a feelin’” in a an ibiza balearic house stylethose tracks are all firmly rooted into the deep house sound.they never settle into one comfortable, predictable groove. its heady, emotion-rich grooves include warm, melodic two-step and future garage flavas, dubwise slo-mo grooves. it s eclectic, no doubt, but thanks to those guys warm production and heavy deep vocals, this release will put your hands up in the air marvellously

while the original album quiet distortion still resonates on dance floors around the world, we are more than happy to present to you a wonderful and versatile remix package of select album tracks. we believe the lineup of remixers really speaks for itself:

following the peace obscured ep by bokeh, his joint venture with anthone, katsunori sawa sets yet another mark on the weevil neighbourhood with his first full-length solo artist album on the label. titled secret of silence the eight tracks-spanning work of kyoto based sawa drills through japan techno, industrial breaks and noise while flirting with breakcore and a more aggressive take on dub.
katsunori sawa has been with the label for pretty much four years now with solo projects as well as joint ventures (besides the aforementioned bokeh, he’s also part of steven porter with his brother in arms yuji kondo with whom he also runs their own 10 label). his musical career reaches back another few years when he was writing and producing under eoc (short for enormous o clock), including an album for ai records.
the release comes as a limited edition 12” record on black vinyl with artwork by l.a. based lee noble (no kings records/ bathetic).

nyc loft trax exploded onto the scene a year ago with a white label containing unreleased dat tape archives from the 1990 s. people lost their minds and it proceeded to sellout of shops in what seemed like minutes! with anything that is from an unknown lost world you have your doubters, but those that know could hear and feel the validity of these authenthic tapes. you seriously could not capture the vibe that obviously was witnessed on that record. the label continued to dig into various sources to release all types of unreleased and amazingly good records. so with the integrity we see this label exercise get excited as this is another selection of lost yet found 1990 s dat tape trax! this is the real deal, let s not kid ourselves now. lots of hot heat on this one containing deep, dubs and disco! side note: the city in particular has a nu groove records story attached to it. basically it is the instrumental of an unreleased remix. that s all we have been told on that one. interesting! grab this now! expect this to go fast!

why why why by the woodentops is a turntable hit in the birth of the balearic club scene. arriving first in 1985 as a mix by adrian sherwood, a regular amnesia track and again in 1987, as a live and far more up-tempo version from a number one live album.

showcasing the exceptional talent within the underground audio family, we are proud to bring you boney ep by our very own kevin over. hailing from germany, kevin has been producing and performing from a young age, with a keen focus in the tech-house and techno genres. over the recent years, he has taken the industry by storm and is now a household name with releases on truesoul, mobilee, and many more. it gives us great pleasure to share with you his freshest sounds within this four track ep.

the record opens with utopia , a luminous, evocative and fascinating track by the german artist hyboid, the undoubted leader of space and cosmic sounds. the british artist kid machine replicates on the same album side with the track fighting fears , which includes echoes of disco and den haag sounds. on the other side of this 12inch, we will listen first to monologues , a hypnotic-percussive track signed by the renowned french artist in aeternam vale. non auro, sed ferro by hesperius draco closes down the album, fizzing among their usual coordinates: horror disco, retro wave and soundtrack sounds.

with many new roads traveled over the last few years, the gaslamp killer is back with the full-length lp instrumentalepathy. glk will initiate his new imprint cuss records with instrumentalepathy. french surrealism artist albane simon designed the cover, supplying an array of psychedelic imagery that contains a brilliant sense of connection to glk’s music & the chaos he’s survived. instrumentalepathy features an impressive cast of artists tied closely to glk over his music career with brainfeeder, low end theory and beyond. guests include gonjasufi, miguel atwood ferguson, niki randa, kid moxie, mophono, amir yaghmai and the heliocentrics. it’s been over a decade since glk and gonjasufi have collaborated on new music, bringing the two natives of san diego back together for something truly special.

who is v? some say a belgian with an ebm heritage, some say a nomad from outer prussia, im afraid no one knows for sure. lets just fall back on the old cliche of letting the music do the talking, 2 perfect newwave/post/proto/dance tracks sure to rekindle the flames of a lost love or sooth even the most broken hearted of souls. on the flip is a man known to many as ripperton who delivers two slices of his trademark deep and mysterious technohouse music that unfurl with a poise and elegance known only to those with a true mastery of the craft. glorious stuff.

deko deko are lena seik and tristan schulze, based in leipzig, germany. the duo creates their music by computer, synthesizer and vocals. conventional song structures are fractured and deconstructed to be reconstructed and defragmented in the end. that might sound experimental but deko deko write hymns with orchestral parts and mad choirs, but always electronical too. neustadt is the first album of the band, to be released on o*rs in september 2016

double lp of new material from new jersey musician, unearth noise. the album compiles selected compositions made over the last three years. as a kid roger berkowitz was inspired by the celestial sounds of ravi shankar’s strings, an album that was introduced to him by his father who was an engineer for rca. in his youth he played in various punk bands and dabbled in experimental music after being exposed to the likes of john cage, harry partch, brian eno and mahavishnu....

nice price deal !!! one half of the prolific hoxton whores, kevin andrew delivers a no nonsense slice of heads down house, perfectly tweaked to add a real edge to the dancefloor. stabby synths and a low slung bassline are the main features, whilst the track bubbles along with recognizable hooky riffs and enough breakdowns to make any discerning house crowd rock! danish hotshot, and one man remix machine, kid massive joins the party on the flip adding in a tougher constructed percussive feel whilst chopping up the groove.

the highly anticipated 3rd album from anderson .paak as double 180 gram vinyl release with mini-poster included.

though theyre both originally from kansas, chrissy & hawley met in chicago, and began working together on songs that unite their very different individual styles: emotional dance music with catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics in the tradition of yazoo, pet shop boys, arthur russell, kid creole & the coconuts, larry levan, and patrick cowley. their debut album comes hot on the heels of an ep on smartbar’s own northside ‘82 imprint, which has won over tastemakers like the black madonna, jackie house & jason kendig (honey soundsystem), prince rama, and avalon emerson. “some of the most earnest and charming pop music i’ve heard in years” - avalon emerson “iÕve been obsessing over ‘photoboothÕ” - jason kendig nite owl co-founder chrissy is a genre-bending dj / producer, known for releases on labels like classic, freerange, razor-n-tape, planet mu, and hypercolour, his influential “my year of mixtapes” blog, and his dj residency at the legendary chicago nightclub smartbar. hawley shoffner is a chicago-based singer-songwriter with a distinctive, immediately recognizable voice in the tradition of karen o, kathleen hanna, or siouxsie sioux. 2lp includes special insert and digital download code

nice price deal !!! macro has been the home for the albums of some of electronic music’s most exciting live acts. so when a live band enters this context, it should better enter with a bang. kuf do just this with their album debut. the three-piece outfit with keys, bass and drums cooks up a sound that is as warm, cozy and exciting as it is utterly alien. the rhythm section hints at the great history of dirty funk and bouncing r’n b, but the grooves are firmly of today: dance-centered, thrillingly interactive and broken up at the best possible joints. the bewildering thing about kuf is that it is a vocal-led group that has no singer on stage at all. all vocal elements are based on self-recorded samples which keyboard whizz kid tom schneider melds and bends and squeezes in real time. as if it was the most natural thing to do. with no artificial synchronization in place, valentin link on bass and hendrik havekost on drums push the disembodied voices into an arena of hyperintegrated realtime magic of rough soul, intertwined by improvised outbursts and shaped with the aesthetics of raw mpc-based cut up techno.

ahead of the release of his highly anticipated body language mix for the famed get physical series, top drawer producer and selector tim green offers up two exclusive tracks from it - one original, and one remix. over the last decade green has put his midas touch to a stream of scintillating and powerful club tracks, releasing through labels such as cocoon, my favorite robot, dirtybird and get physical. as a remixer he has been in constant demand, lending his musicianship and production magic to the likes of friendly fires, cassius, seth troxler & kidnap kid.

a lurching broken beat and detuned technicolour chords drive the title track, an ode to the ‘nocturnal’ raves happening in his hometown as a kid. caraiba is a hypnotic percussive workout, switching and snapping around it’s four-four palette and underpinned with a swaggering bass line. loop-finding (4jo) rounds out the ep with scattered beats on top of a chopped and filtered sample of a rare-groove track, a fleeting but emotive sign-off for after hours listening.

am anfang war der beat: souveräner erster langspieler von kaytranada, mit zahlreichen gastbeiträgen von anderson .paak, vic mensa, little dragon, syd, craig david, goldlink, alunageorge, badbadnotgood und mehr.

who is the mysterious ketsueki sakuru? a lone warrior from the far east or an already established artist working under another name? we here at giallo disco cannot be sure, but are confident in their ability to detonate dancefloors and provide the correct ambience for walkman-missions everywhere. sounding as if muslimgauze was a confirmed new-beat devotee or if unit black flight was from dubai by way of tokyo and specialized in videogame soundtracks. the blood meridian ep is music for desert wastelands and murderjunkies.

red laser is back with a blinder. a set of hardcore manctalo uniting manchester & paris. kid machine returns to the label with a sci-fi chugger done in his unique deep style. tommy walker 3 turns on the lasers and tears down the rave.alan dente from the infamous les yeux orange crew rips classic vocals for some classic sunrise sound tracking. red laser stalwart starion closes the ep on a reflective italo-noir note.

hot on the heels of his brilliant superfoods trilogy of albums on bbe, australian production powerhouse inkswel returns with a brand new solo effort entitled unity 4 utopia . stellar collaborators steve spacek, recloose, crazy p, lay-far, kid sublime, mark de clive-lowe & colonel red all make an appearance help to make inkswel s quest for musical utopia a reality, and the album certainly does not disappoint. as the man himself puts it: -we need to work together if we want happiness and furthermore if we want positive change- this is mirrored in music, collaboration being key-. echoes of early hip hop, 80 s boogie, disco and house can all clearly be heard, all woven together by inkwel s uniquely soulful, futuristic yet vintage production style. drawn together by an abundantly positive feeling, vocal performances and beats are all faultlessly smooth and highly polished, but somehow the album retains a real sense of fun. already touring tirelessly, unity 4 utopia could well be the project which elevates mr inkswel from an underground phenomenon into a household name.

atlus is a young man with the world on his shoulders. he holds it from misty glasgow, where he spends most of his time in the halls of rubadub. in the three songs on this epic ep, he lifts up party-melting disco house, clanging ambience and bubbling techno – and not for a second does he hint at letting the ball drop. the first of many, many records from him, we hope. this kid’s a titan.
