hailing from chicago, the latest entry from our new skudge white series sees innerspace halflife venture into some of house and technos eeriest realms. when ike release and hakim murphy joined forces sometime last year, we immediately thought that their very own cosmic take on jackin house would be a perfect fit for our label, and boy did they deliver!

the music of tokyo-based englishman max essa is like a fine wine, it can be only stored in the finest oak barrels, it can only be aged correctly and it can only be drunk when completely ready. maxs approach is far from conventional, emotional content plays a major part in his works and now we find him on his third bearfunk long player won ton sunrise.

the mysterious duo strangers in heaven strike back on souvenir! after their first highly acclaimed release last year and their remix of souvenir bosses, tiefschwarz, the boys return with a strong two tracker. first track, set me free, is a deep groover which features jonny cruzs incredibly melodic voice. the same track gets a decidedly deeper once over from none other than, eric volta (ellum, visionquest). on the flip, the future is a miami bass vs. techno tune with some real old school house feeling injected into it, featuring the unmistakable voice of the wondrous navid izadi(wolf+lamb, soulclap).

the descent of man ep is the third and last part of a trilogy on vinyl dedicated to charles darwin studies. this final chapter is focused on the darkest side of electronic music and his impact on human psychology. as charles darwin studied the evolution of physical and mental traits, we want to show how obscure, trembling and aggressive sounds generate an increasing sense of agitation and loss while mild and gloomy atmospheres can relieve the body and brain, achieving a peaceful state of mind. dont be afraid to move into a shady space. this is not the end even if it could be.

i am sure joe goddard needs no introduction, the co-founder of greco-roman and leading member of hot chip + one half of 2 bears releases this stunning 4 track ep. the title taking over is, as joe says: a reference to that moment when the music at a club starts to really hit you, when it forces you to focus on it and the night ahead. featuring collaborations with boris dlugosch and mara carlyle, taking over is an attempt to make synthesizers sound nice. the lead single from the ep is the step together which was premiered on the b traits (in for annie mac) on bbc r1 last friday. since that announcement step together has received more plays across the bbc networks. we have big plans radio wise for this track and we expect to see a lot more plays forthcoming across, bbc r1, 6 music, 1xtra, xfm and kiss fm.

despite the watery divide between them, brooklyn-bound greg schappert and london-based tom russell have fostered a production partnership as donor / truss for the last six years, emerging today as one of technos more robust and hardworking duos. as solo artists they ve racked up notable releases between them on labels like stroboscopic artefacts, perc trax and our circula sound, outside of schapperts own miniscule imprint. meanwhile russell has been stepping out as the acid-charged mpia3, lately flexing a less is more approach with outings on avian and r&s.

cavaan is the alter ego of a rather well known berlin producer and his fellow from milan. the duo debuts with their very much loved project. they feature a studio-recorded wonderful vocal on this hypnotically modern percussive house affair titled black snow. the original track grooves on some free swinging retro percussions and beats from the 80s machinery and a softly moving house-beat making this a very subtle killer for any dancefloor. while the vocals carry the track as light as a feather it is after the breakdown that things get really musical - you will hear yourself while listening the melodies and sequences. for the remixes turdjr has aligned a high-quality and diverse array of a current top producer. one of heidelbergs coolest kids on the block, lopazz knows that every track gets better with a lot of handmade music-and he sure is right in his interpretation of black snow. last not least i is under on the flip which is one of these tracks that sucks the listener in so deep that there is simply no escape: repetitive yet constantly changing and constantly grooving while remaining very pure! this release is filled with tracks that will long echo on the dancefloor!

2013 sees the release of norwegian disco viking rune linbaeks latest long player, on his drum island label. its his first album since the 2000 release (sondag) on paper recordings repap offshoot. last years single wonder feat kurt maloo on the label was a day one sell out here at all ears and marked a significant maturing of runes trademark sound. the influence of norway on the worlds forward thinking disco scene & beyond is more than evident, with countrymen like todd terje, prins thomas and hans peter lindstrom all leading the charge for years now. the creative cauldron of the infamous club in a public toilet skansen has much to answer for! krasava is a very much vocal led project, with a cast of featured vocalists which includes norwegian popstar anneli drecker alongside recent collaborator Øyvind blikstad. the album is steeped in norwegian folklore, visually and musically and the gentle lilt of the norse/balearic sound, sits comfortably alongside more cosmic flavours, rock and beautifully crafted pop.

discovery recordings is proud to release coule ba by analog players society, a collective melting pot of musicians lead by amon. couleba draws from west african influences and features the incredible missia saran diabate of guinea on lead vocals. we came across couleba while finishing the catalano ep at the hook studio last summer. amon was doing his final mix-down of the track and we fell in love with the song immediately. shortly after we lined up the release, the studio and surrounding areas endured hurricane sandy. with the red hook initiative, amon and his family began helping out wherever they could. when power finally returned and the debris was cleared, it seemed only appropriate that the record should benefit the organization that did so much for red hook during that time.

revivra is back on gamm with two seriously well produced re-edits (or remixes?) on the soulful boogie tip. just like last time this is just not some quick 5 min fixes but hand crafted reworks that takes the original tracks to the next level with loads of added live elements. the a-sides take on midways set it out is so good it almost makes the original sounds like the remix. with a beautiful live string intro it explodes into a proper boogie winner that easily could have been produced by any of the big producers from late 70s. on the flip revivra goes back to his deep love for marvin with +11 min excursion of mercy mercy me. epic is an understatement!

prime numbers return with m7. the first side is taken by a remix of wireman’s >armour<, the original of which was included on pn04 released at the end of last year. the remix is from move d (deep space network, source records), he ups the tempo and in trademark fashion softens the surfaces of the original, warming the core of the track whilst creating a bass heavy groove with twisting beats, synths and a husky hypnotic vocal sample. the flip includes two tracks. to start we have >crushed< by actress. darren j. cunningham aka actress runs the much lauded werk records and this track is taken from his limited cd only album >hazyville< (released on werk in the autumn of last year ) >crushed< is slo-mo, extra bass heavy, low slung house with an addictive lofi synth riff and submerged strings. the track bumps along with hiss and crackle to good affect before turning into a badalamenti-esque loop to finish. to round things off be, the up & coming manchester based producer provides >when you left<. be cut his teeth with the chicago based still music and a great al hudson reedit which found extensive dj support on its release. >when you left< is a shuffling downbeat house groove with a jazz sentiment featuring deep rhodes keys and clipped drums, the track breaks up into a bluesy accapella section then builds up to a more direct 4/4 groove to the end

the 909, the drum machine that has shaped the dance floor in the last few couple of decades, is still leading the underground sound. in this e.p. tino venditti, dj producer based in rome, goes through the sound 90 thus exploiting the wake of 909, adding a pinch of electronics

the italians are coming! luca ballerini with the 2nd awesome release on musical methaphor. this time slightly on a detroit tip with some classic house tracks with some light melodic topping, and an additional rio padice remix who adds some jazzy and funky sample flavor. recommended!

vinyl only !! of course!! more than a year after his last ep, quarion returns to retreat for a fantastic expedition: a journey to the >moons around jupiter<. consisting of four tracks dedicated to the four galilean satellites, >moons around jupiter< is a sonic masterpiece that blurs the lines between house, techno, broken beat and disco. a certain detroit mystique (the futurism & outer space themes) also surrounds this mesmerizing ep which quarion himself ranks as possibly his best work to date … come and take a ride! we may share the ultimate bond with the moon europa: the presumption of oceans underneath its crust of ice as well as an atmosphere that is mostly filled with oxygen make this satellite a good candidate for possible extra-terrestrial life (more micro-organisms than 3-eyed aliens though). quarions >europa< hopes to reveal the secrets underneath the ice layer: beginning with a skippy beat and a tinkling piano, the track evolves rapidly as subtle keys and a cosmic choir appear from beyond.

nick lapiens debut release as metropolis garnered little attention when it materialized last year. a skeptical yet dedicated network of underground heads built up a subterranean buzz that has yet to spread into the daylight. that initial transmission was thick with the raw analogue flavors that have become ever-present in dance floor fare recently—but his is a sound that is dedicated to the emotive, narrative aspects of electronic music rather than simple fetishization or passing curiosity in the days of yore. this, his second release as metropolis, shows a more focused and patient hand at work. the titular track on the a side is a deep, psychedelic groover. melodies, textures and sequences undulate and intertwine within a lightless atmosphere guided by lapien with optimum restraint. equally pensive and gorgeous, the flood serves as a machine’s beat-less foil on the reverse. made up of little more than feedback and two slow, echo laden arpeggiated sequences, this is reminiscent of jean michel jarre’s more sinister moments: a brilliant paradox of economy and indulgence. expect to hear more from lapien here at sequencias. he has many more dark corners left unexplored.

here it is, the first album on quintessentials!

special 12inch double pack containing the last 2 millionhands black edits. limited to 200 only, these will go fast.

spanish dj and producer uner is looking back on an impressive but intense career. after first milestones on top notch labels like saved and diynamic he scored even more points with his last releases on the Überlabels cadenza and visionquest which made him one of the most wanted minimal-techno-producers around

bill youngman has been around for almost 20 years with releases on legendary labels like serotonin, scandinavia and tresor. he crossed many styles from melodic electro to really, really harsh techno, but recently he seems to have found his very own personal style. the music he released on killekill in the last two years show a very singular approach to techno and electro. percussive, deep, melodic, toolish – all at the same time.

andres zaccos very own greener imprint is back with a brand new 12 inch release. as you can already tell from the labels frequency in output (the last 12 inch, andres zacco & franco cinellis the secret mission ep came out in may 2011), greener places its primary focus on quality, not quantity. for this fourth outing, greener is glad to welcome j.c. – a young, up-andcoming producer from madrid, who presents here his personal take on techno. both titles on the m-theory ep put forward a fine mixture of unyielding, grounding rhythmic structures and mesmerizing synths, building into grand momentums.

chris spero (otherwise known as uk house and techno producer glimpse) and hypercolour co-founder and producer, alex jones, return once again as dense & pika to the hotflush fold with move your body back. having crept out of the shadows back in 2011 with a collection of white labels released through their own eponymous imprint, dense & pika went on to bolster their rising profile with the release of their hotflush debut (crispy duck) which landed late last year as well as with their memorable live set at hotflushs recent boiler room takeover. there is nothing chin-strokingly complicated or needlessly over-worked about their productions. they make interesting techno aimed at the dance floor and move your body back continues with this central aesthetic. the three track ep plunders percussive depths by way of stern machine rhythms, swollen low-end grit and the echoing, anthemic elements of warehouse rave techno. the title track of the ep may already be familiar to many having appeared on their resident advisor podcast in march and is already being played out by maya jane coles, boddika and adam beyer, amongst others.

upcoming release from todd osborn on jared wilsons 7777 label. the a-side track 303 explores some dark acid territory, while the b-side 909 is a melodic house track in osborns signature style. like previous 7777 releases, we do not expect these to last long.

after last years spectacular return to our airwaves and the world of techno with the release of the excellent album from the far future pt. 2, the detroit veteran terrence dixon is back with a new release entitled the giant robot ep on monique musique imprint, while that enigmatic and experimental british producer actress has been brought in on remix duties.

on different ends ep diaphan music returns with a 3 tracks strong ep featuring last mood, kindimmer and the collaboration between george p. and wichniowski. starting with staged authenticity, last mood builds a solid house fundament around a hypnotic bassline followed by kindimmer who gets you jackin again with his stab driven track bprick. site b contains a rough house cut called life in sequences being a result of a studio jam of george p. and wichniowski.
