4 new tracks by kyle hall, the man of the hour whos turning everything he touches into gold! slowly the new generation is injecting new influences, new crossovers of styles, new techniques into techno and house which didnt change much in the last decade! great to see and another release that we will cherish. recommended!

big with: basic soul unit, ame, ingo sõnger, oliver hafenbauer, dixon, sevensol, dirk rumpf,roland appel,.. back from the initial mild pitch release >this feeling< last year, ribn deliver their overdue follow-up entitled >light black ep< - three tracks as ambivalent as the title suggests! the title track is a mesmerizing house/technohybrid of colourful darkness, reminiscent of classic early ribn releases: meandering synths and hypnotic sound fragments crawl around a stomping beat while the crunchy bass loop keeps moving things forward irresistably. first up on the flip side is >sin & figs<, a warm and pathetic summer gem that is destined to soundtrack any sunrise over the next couple of months. rich layer textures and sweet little melodies make this piece one of the most emotional moments of the mild pitch catalogue to date. closing the ep on b2 is >stonedrum<, a slow-motion house treat with oddly pitched vocals, a subtle groove and heavy low-end. its masked and fragile funkyness and crackling background noises complete a complex image that requires more attention than a 30-seconds preview clip to get a clue..

big with: robert dietz, markus fix, federico molinari, dorian paic, meat, vera, nick curly,à over the last couple of years christian burkhardt and sascha dive have shaped and created the sound of raum...musik like almost no other artist on our label. now the two of them are teaming up for our next single and like one would expect it from them they deliver 2 very nice tracks aiming straight at the dancefloor. nightflight on the a side is a bit more electronic and represents more the sound design of christian. >combination< on the b side which is also the title of this record is more sort of a stripped down house tool and therefor stands for saschas influences. together they form a nice mix including two of the main artists from our label. enjoy this combination...!

my music is my space - the last chapter. a really successful series will be closed, many artists we supported here - and they supported us! thanx to daniel stefanik, mike huckaby, chet, arne weinberg, naohito uchiyama and all the other friends with their brilliant sounds! but enjoy the 4th chapter - with tracks by shohei takata, maskine , havantepe and sublime porte. with their deep and dubby sound - unique as usual - they create a worthy conclusion. thumbs up - a indispensably record in your case!

vincent kwok, dj mfrs partner in the project new mondo, provides two reworks: the dark and deep dancefloor bliss of >do you remember<, featuring the spoken vocals of tony green, and head to the sky, featuring the emotive vocals of winston and a fantastic, dubby breakdown. charles webster re-tools come to me, featuring renowned vocalist indra jones, into a sublime, dreamy house music masterpiece. last, but hardly least, dj mfr reworks his own get on me, featuring the reappearance of indra jones. a classic house-style bassline and staccato keys will surely drive this version out of the speakers of club systems worldwide. transport recordings revisits dj mfrs acclaimed rome departure album with a series of exceptional deep and soulful house mixes.

the last franck roger on fr prod before september !

its a bakers dozen for ray mangs ever reliable mangled imprint! despite being more than adept at mining out long lost classics & wielding the edit scissors, ray has asked us to make it clear that this ep, much like the last couple of mangled releases are original works (sure there are a few samples here and there, but hey!) what you can be sure of is that this mighty trio are super effective where it counts, thoroughly road-tested and very much in demand as with everything on mangled the revived label and rays recent smash on dfa, not to mention his accomplished dj sets, has pushed him back to the forefront of a scene he was instrumental in forming. having been behind a plethora of releases on cult uk nu-disco labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc over the years he has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more.

limited edition !!

the third and last part of the outstanding 2010 compilation 12inch series celebrating one decade of dial records. pigon open the single with an awesomly deep and reduced techno mover. newcomer john roberts continues what he started with his work on laid and john dalys feel label: lovely house music with a touch real instrument music. another highlight of the jubilee compilation is the ultradeep >new heaven & earth< by christian naujoks, who presents his very first house tune. the 12inch series ends with the star of the moment pantha du prince who just released his third album. another pure love issue!

>privilege< deals with the fortune of living out a dream in a world that does not grant all people with the same opportunities. over the last year i had the fortune to visit places around the globe in which i felt the obscene wealth of opportunities i have in life. its hard to bear that the majority of humanity will never have the chance to even dream of who and what they could have been. (glitterbug about his new album)

after a two-year wait since tadd mullinixs last release as james t. cotton, the man storms back with on time, four tracks packed with more music than any ep has a right to. the titular first cut announces itself with tight jacks and bouncing bass before a male voice begins an endless >on time< mantra, twisting and churning furiously through more than eight minutes. the short n sweet >octopus< mines drexciya territory with granular synths and washes of static. >on time (rick wades grimetime remix)< is a decidedly sexy, nocturnal house reinvention of the original, pushing languorous keys to the fore. >jak your own stars< builds slowly with rubberband bass, cowbells, and an 8-bit melody till some nasty 808s toy with the funk.

filth & splendour are cuasing a bit of a stir at the moment. with their >hot pick< release on cr2 & puerto banus ep, on berwick st, both released last month, kicking up a flurry of intrest in these guys.
next up from them is this techy little deep house number, a strong house vibe runs throughout, with cool melodic riffs and summer feel about it! on the remix is timo garcia - needing no introduction, you know what you are going to get from timo. a more sparse and techno influenced slice of heavenly house music.

two collaborative tracks from quarta 330 and lv, made when the pair met the day after hyperdubs fifth anniversary party in november last year. these tunes exemplify the kind of meeting of minds where the best of both procucers comes to the surface, as quarta 330s 8-bit abstraction and melodic sense contrasts nicely with lvs characteristic lush figures and shuffling rhythms.

no doubt that felix bernhardt already made a big impact on the music scene and is supported by those well respected guys like richie hawtin, butch, stefan bodzin, aso! his last two releases on afulab are steady burners and the second part of his >bam bam bam< series makes no exception!

the first new material from tim deluxe in a while and well worth the wait with these 2 heavy heavy club cuts. jack it started life for tim as live jam on his machine drum analogue box of tricks and shows in its energy and swing. mupod continues in much the same vein, all analogue beats and bleeps, big in the boxes of groove armada, chris fortier adn x press 2, and the title was inspired by the lovely little creature shown as the packshot here. last copies !!

new double pack with a sweet 6 new tracks with redshapes trademark sounds! hot on the heels of his last years album that created quiet a stir among journalists, we think this one tops that one just because it contains more of the freshness and playfulness which made redshape one of the most popular techno artists of the last years! this release will boost your energy level and makes you want to hit the early morning hours in a club!

parts i & ii of friday 14th were previously released on french label astrolab but these two new versions evolved through playing the track in our live set. while in la last year, we were asked to go into the studio and record something... this is what came from that session. also on the release is a great dubby-proto-house remix from roots unit, and most excellent it is too.

the phenomenal handclap band out of nyc dropped a brilliant debut album last year and first single >15 to 20< was a stand out track. hector works label founder anthony mansfield got the opportunity to remix the track and was so into the tune that he rinsed two versions. while these versions got widespread exposure and distribution from both friendly fire and gomma, anthonys remixes were until now digital only. we want our records! the disco mix is a slower funk version using the catchy vocals over a helping of sweet disco dubûthe punk funk mix uses all the elements of the track and points it for a dance floor!

chris is very happy that his long term friend adam beyer from sweden, who runs the drumcode and truesoul labels (as most of you may know), has contribute to the 10 year anniversary label compilation. chris said >he managed to give me an amazing track that i have already been playing up and down since probably the beginning of last summer<. you have to know that most of these tracks have been collected over a period of at least the last six months. this one from adam is called >antistius< not only is chris out for having international artists on this compilation but also his home base in frankfurt equally has some amazing artists to offer. this track on the b-side is by clr artist and mastering engineer brian sanhaji who has also recently released his album on the label. his contribution to 10 years of clr is pretty phat. this one is called >higgs< and chris had already been playing it, all over the place, with amazing responses.

a lot has happened to blm since his last solo ep back in 2008, fatherhood being the main factor for his absence. thankfully the nappy changing musical magician didnt stop tinkering with his synths in that time has come back with a string of forthcoming productions that mark a real step up in quality for him. so, first up blm releases on home soil on his own fof label. garage is back keeps things silky smooth – simplicity is the key here, the percussive elements building slowly before the evocative vocal of suz brings a hypnotic sexyness to the whole affair. step to this is the logical progression from his last fof release (believe in love) with its skippy beats and uplifting stabs being a sure winner for the coming summer. mulletover promoter / dj / all around sexual dynamo geddes provides a rather splendid dub remix of garage is back on the flip. cleverly using key elements of the original to keep the flava but dipping the tempo to give it more of a groove based feel. we think its a high watermark for the man.. check it

second release on the new ibadan offshoot, public service recordings. >life story< gets the ball rolling with some bumping disco-fueled peaktime house, with a strong female vocal dominating atop a bed of funky bass, stellar synth lines, and solid house beats. yohan squares >love of life< takes the mood a little deeper with some lush late night house, blending sweeping textured synth lines behind a deep bassline groove and shuffling late night house beats. on the reverse, julian jonahs >jealousy of lies< is a detroit-flavored late night houser, with textured synth lines, a stellar spoken male vocal, and laidback beats and bassline all combining perfectly. last up is >rey-d<, a deep late night track that utilizes some fairly bumping beats behind a minimal bassline and rich chords for some minimal floor grooves.

the new planet rhythm arrives! another great hit in the line of the last bas mooy slammer. a.paul is the hottest techno artist of the moment, his releases are sought after by a very diverse audience. his tracks fit so well in any style techno mix and rock the dancefloor! from funky to hard, blend it in and feel the crowd response. this is what the planet rhythm stands for!

the third record already by thomas brinkmann on curle. these tracks are taken from his forthcoming album as soul center, the moniker he is best known for. on the flip for the very first time a remix on curles main imprint. its by uwe schmidt aka atom™ aka atom heart aka senor coconut aka about a zillion other disguises. we are very proud to have him on board! we also wanna grab the opportunity to thank everyone that came out to the curle night at maria in berlin with thomas and uwe last week, you were great!

exploits >beatbull< is an excellent modern tech-house/techno crossover stuff with catchy vocals, filtered piano chords and tribal groove. on the other hand >no harm< represents the dark side of techno music with its rumbling bassline and crazy siren sounds. last but not least is the epic remix of >no harm< served by one of most respected uk techno producers perc (perctrax, ovum, clr). he rebuilds the original into unique underground techno madness - big one!
support from umek, pig & dan, marco bailey, alan fitzpatrick, gary beck, joseph capriati and many others!

nice price deal !!! the portraits series is a project born out of the meeting between music and art. the pictures on the record covers of the five releases are a sample of the photographic work of claudio gaiaschi, renowned milanese photographer, who shot dozens advertising campaigns for numerous international brands but also author of artistic pictures being showed at exhibitions in paris, london, new york, rome, baku, tblisi. claudio gaiaschi has been praised by masters artists of the photo like mario giacomelli and in tratti (the collection where the portraits series covers are taken from) he tells the stories of new families framing them in a non-pose having a result of >... pictures that last: in embarassment, in tenderness, in hostility. actual faces of ancestors.< (cit. nicola del falco)

italys marco donnarumma indicated some of the potential of his kuoyah project with last aprils digital release for frijsfo, earning enthusiastic tips from the likes of boomkat. nonetheless, theres no doubt that his debut on wax ups the game ? even in the face of a mix from sully ? by applying a focus capable of working magic in 2010s open-ended dubstep dance. its an overused comparison that probably deserves to be buried, but angel dub does reek of horsepower productions, or more precisely the ducking 2-step and basic channel steals of benny ills classic tempa ep with hatcha.

after their magical 23rd digital release, polands elektropunkz label take their metaphysical musical offerings to the physical product for the first time with their debut vinyl release. this is a bee-stinging super sharp shooting yellow limited 1-sided ep with tracks from fotoplastikon, interfunk & loyal plastic robot. first to detonate is interfunks pacy bubbling claustrophobic >get up< electro wave workout. moving east is gdansks loyal plastic robot (who has previously released on bunker) with >italian bomber<, a string-driven track with italo layers and keys contrasting with a bassline smothered in darkness. last up is the euphoric symphonic majesty of fotoplastikons >misja profesora terbovena< – a dynamite piece of classic analogue italo-synth stylings with some ultra-funky keys breaking through to take you to outer space and the fitting finale for this first vinyl release on elektropunkz. limited release of 111 copies!

truly beautiful deep house records are things to be treasured, akin to proper songs that will last the test of time, not made to meet a fleeting fad. this is one of those records and a real pinnacle & departure for blm & pawas. although the term deep is an oft overused one, >waiting game< personifies the genres true key traits with a subtly moving groove that gradually builds, using layers of subtle percussion and a rich, warm synth motif to make a rich tapestry of sounds before finally introducing the beautiful female vocal that gives the track its name. patrice scott liked the track so much that he agreed to remix it - his first ever outside of his own, excellent, sistrum label. using plenty of the original track parts but taking it a different direction, patrice really has come up with something special. the track moves along with snippets of the main vocal and clever use of the main synth, the groove being underpinned by patrice s classic sense of production before moving into a more classic >detroit< ending - a mindset with a bigger, more dramatic sensibility
