modern primitivism, the fifteenth release on get the curse music comes from the label head clement meyer. a 3-track 12 inch that showcases a new, albeit logical, direction for the producer, now blending electronic body music, industrial, downbeat and 70s electronics in its own raw, moody & distinctive style. as a counterpart to the left-field vibe on the ep, lumigraphs remix (opal tapes, mister saturday night) is a techno bomb ready to serve the dancefloor.

following a slew of acclaimed releases on left blank and tri angle, as well an album with the much lauded young echo collective, vessel debuts on the burgeoning liberation technologies imprint with three diverse cuts of inimitable off-kilter electronics. *misery is a communicable disease* serves as a euphoric opener, primed for moments of escapism on or off the dancefloor with resonant hats and an exultant synth line laid bare upon a bed of gauzy pads and valve-warmed kicks. vmi is a different beast altogether, channeling the visceral spirit of minimal wave and punk aesthetic to create a sordid call to arms before the frenzied acid and lingering menace of *not for design* closes the record in typically deranged fashion.

we are pleased to welcome back the extremely talented need for mirrors duo back to the dispatch camp. here they strike completely on the money with the hard hitting funk-led *sling blade* and backing up the a side we have a heavy slice of bristol themed flavour for 2013 with *grapefruit*. both tracks present a clear nod to the old school and inspirational late 90s sounds we always loved (but never left!). need for mirrors prove again with this release that they are quite simply on a roll both as individual artists that make up the nfm duo and in their own individual right, definitely ones to watch for the rest of 2013 and beyond.

late night musings lathered in left-field sensibilities & comedic soundscapes with dance floor leanings.

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.

kasket (aka charlie baldwin) returns to apollo with his second ep. warm regards, a collection of four songs left to simmer with traces of ambient, jazz, and dance rhythms, opens in dramatic fashion with a majestic title track of billowing synths and plaintively struck chords that serves as an ideal introduction to kaskets most realised work yet.

sun glitters sound is an ocean of lush melodies, pitch-shifted vocal samples, ghostly digi-diva choirs, warm bass melodies driven by alternately dense and relaxing beatwork combinations.

massive dj support from ricardo villalobos, dixon, marcus worgull, me, scuba, tale of us, agoria, kyodai...
the konstantin sibold remix is destined to be one of the biggest club hits of this year! the originals and the simon garcia remix are also top notch. watch out for konstantin sibold s remix of as goes the sun which is due later this year.

in september 2010, blame one hit j57 up via twitter when he heard that the legendary nyc record store and hip-hop cultural icon fat beats was closing its doors, knowing that is where j57 worked, to tell him he was sorry to hear the sad news. they immediately clicked and linked up for a project. fast-forward to 2013 and they give you the *walk in the sun* lp.

vicissitude - zu deutsch wandel, wechselhaftigkeit, unbeständigkeit - ist der titel des neuen, dritten albums von maps alias james chapman, das anfang juli auf mute erscheint. schwang im zweitling *tuning the mind* noch der hedonismus des mercury price nominierten erfolgsdebüts *we can create* nach, vermittelt das wunderschöne indie-rock/pop-album *vicissitude* nun die unmittelbare konfrontation chapmans mit der realität: *writing and recording coincided with quite a lot of things in my life changing. although things are good for me now, every song on the record comes from a long period of me having to take stock, to start again almost. i took myself out of everything and had a hard look at what i wanted to do and where i wanted to take maps.* den letzten feinschliff der platte übernahmen produzent und sound engineer ken thomas (sugarcubes, m83, sigur ros), der zuletzt auch an *we can create* mitarbeitete, und sein sohn joylon, der schon als programmierer und produzent für bands wie s.c.u.m. und telepathe aktiv war.

ridley road market, dalston, london. august 2013 before the outbreak, the market was full of exotic food, clothes and spices. now all thats left is a sea of mindless undead beings roaming the streets, a non stop 808 low­end rumble and the stench of chicken bones. all this because of a record. it looked different. it sounded different and the results of playing it were catastrophic. as soon as dawn day nights 2012 debut ep was played, a ritual began . . . unbeknown to music lovers all over the world, they had given dawn day night the power to walk the earth once again. that power now grows stronger and he is almost ready to re­animate 4 undead booty shakers: the re­animations ep. with his undead army growing and a diary full of festival shows this summer, ask yourself, are you prepared for survival

cam consequences new label, etcht records is sure to be a continuation of whats already begun for this exciting producer. theres an intellectual curiosity that questions and opposes what we should expect in these anticipated debut tracks. its that sense of the unknown that makes this an exciting, inquisitorial listen. mclaren presents questions. theres a sense of reaching in the juxtaposition or conflict between melodic gentleness and the force of the unknown that first butts heads in, lyon, where we are shaken awake and innocently marched forward, only to be left dangling at the edge. it is that sudden cessation, the technique of knowing when to stop that leaves you with an inexplicable yearning for more...

- enemy records artist decimal returns, offering the second release in his imaginative impulse control series. picking up where impulse 1s obscuro left off, main molecule experiments with mixing and synthesizers to explore new modes of climax and sustainment. an upbeat tempo and playful use of vocal samples and varied clanking percussion elements make this is a sure fire crowd pleaser for peak time sets. vitruvian lamb, a minimal techno piece with a bubbling groove, has an eerie breakdown where little more than a single chord rises and falls to build tension, captivate, and create a kind of subdued intensity, the perfect fuel for the afterhours fire

the second release from swedens tommy awards is another essential 4 track ep. side a continues from where the first ep left off, with two tracks of blissful balearic vibes. if you liked land of lights recent release then this should definitely appeal to you. side b reveals another side to tommy awards and shows the guys are no slouch when it comes to producing in the electronic realm, employing vintage synths and drum machines to create gale force, the ballad of the wind. for the final track, is it balearic head honchos coyote take on the difficult task of remixing last years classic, blind andy, and come out victorious, adding elements of acid and making the track altogether deeper. is it summer yet?

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

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.

a surreal spark of darkness slowly awakens a monstrous tune that becomes more radical by the second. with soundscapes taking serious shapes, the emotion actually comes from deep within: pointing out to infinity. desolate is a hazardous mixture of sick, twisted growls taking extremely unique forms, sub-driven resonating basslines and spacious soundscapes, which bound you to darkness instantly. as the intriguing second part of desolate flows through the mind and soul, no listener is left unharmed as it sweeps you away from reality. with further developed harsh, sharp percussive elements and frightening samples to accentuate this cold production, desolation will become a step closer each and every time you lose control.

here lies the final chapter in the first testament of shocks, and as with the previous three releases, were granted no mercy. a-side tracks trajl and contagious are a full fledged assaults on the psyche, taunting with just enough melody to convince us of musicality, but never really rising from of the swamp theyre stewed in.the b side closer klamata could be seen as a comedown, but after a short while you realize that youve been led only deeper, left in a state of total disarray.

city fly have been proud to release three solo 12inches from house disciples steven wobblejay, flori and creative swing alliance - complete with a plethora of remixes from acclaimed producers such as medlar, leif and iron curtis. however, as always at the forefront of the house revival city fly continue their quest in discovering and nurturing hidden house talent - always on the lookout to unearth and showcase those left in the shadows.

a heavy lead rhythm provides the foundation from which spiralling elements project. they coruscate, pulse with light and collapse inwards, until just the echoes of dub2 are left. rising from these depths, the sharpness of distribution theorys crisp hi-hats and snapping claps provide forward momentum to a series of stabs. the house element.
beginning as a mystery but ending as a certainty, the ethereal theme that opens untitled document gives way as it increases velocity, shaking and rattling under the strain. the apex. hands reach, seeking, the elusive moment has already passed, all left is pure. bliss. circumflex kicks hard, a final statement of intent. powerful. corrosive. this is late night techno, played over a system on which the squelching acid-lines converge within the mind. the body jacks.

out of the ether comes something special. how did dopeus get so good while remaining almost unnoticed? sometimes it goes like that. with only a handful of tracks released, including i left my soul on planet dopeus on nite grooves darkness part 2, this is ny resident naotake gunjis first major release yet he comes on like hes been chiseling away at his sound for years. out of nowhere comes the getaway ep. its house music but its much more than that. check!

emotional rescue certainly laid a claim for the most esoteric of reissue endeavours last year, and they are looking to maintain this approach in 2013. their first release sees the label dig further into the cassette archives of kevin harrison, focusing specifically on the neo project the coventry musician did in cahoots with fellow electronic explorer, peter every from neophyte records. as you can tell from the primitive drum heavy tone of the music, neo surfaced in 1985 with the 8 track cassette release global network. this twelve presents five of those tracks, all of which echo the pulsing electronic rhythms of the fly ep, emotional rescues previous harrison reissue, and will find as much favour with those who sleep on the left side of disco as fans of cold wave.

one of the uks most established and consistent deep house producers, jimpster, is due to drop his eagerly anticipated porchlight and rockingchairs lp. his first studio album in six years sees him continue where he left off on the 2006 masterpiece amour by taking the blueprint of house music and infusing it with an attention to detail and musicality often lacking in much of todays more disposable dance music. during the interim period, jamie has maintained a key role in two of the uks most successful house labels, freerange and delusions of grandeur, where he continues to pick up and establish new talent at an impressive rate. over the course of his 23 year career so far he has remixed everyone from josh wink, osunlade and solomun through to bob marley, airto moreira and seal, as well as continuing to dj week-in week-out at many of the worlds best clubs and festivals.

straight and to the point high bpm club ready tracks from the world of delroy edwards. no one is left standing with the clap, whistle, and warble of this ghetto funk. rough and tough beat tracks made for mixing and getting the fuck out, just like in the old days. nothing flashy here, hard working tracks for the working dj.

young adults enters its sophomore year with an ever expanding bag of left coast body music. having released 12 inches from westward wonder kid suzanne kraft and a sampler ep that culled production heat from both the us and abroad, 2013 finds the house and disco hub digging deeper to keep speakers bumping and dance floors steamy. house slippers is an exploration of the night – sultry whispers, percolating elixirs, coos, croons, red lights, black lights, and strobe lights – all situated in downstairs speakeasies, lofted warehouses and hazy afterhours. the compilation soundtracks the progression from dusk till dawn, complete with warm up burners, peak time jammers and comedown chuggers. with contributions from permanent vacation, mark e, ben la desh and others, ya continues to curate its signature sound with like-minded party rockers.

betsy just stood there with her mouth wide open. those two guys where fencing each other up and down the stairway. they took 20 steps, back to back, then they turned around, smoothly from the hip, firing magazines at each other. then 10 steps and then 5, both where still standing. they beat each other to a pulp until the blood came out and then until no blood came out and still none of them hit the ground. betsy did not dare to move, even when the duelists finally went away in opposite directions she still stood there like a curtain rod. she cautiously moved her eyes to the left, cautiously meved her eyes to the right, everything seemed to be safe. then there was this flicker of light in betsys sunglasses. they came back.

demdike stare return to the lab with two extended new productions, inaugurating a series of untamed releases brought together under the testpressing banner. collision was recorded in late 2012 and is pretty much unlike anything you will have heard from demdike before, an intense high-frequency re-arrangement of jungle and noise, like a more brutal variant of the demdike-affiliated hate project, fed through a bank of analogue boxes and pedals, left to spin uncontrollably for 10 minutes before fading to black. misappropriation on the flip feeds off a different noise altogether, perched precariously between the mangled percussion you would most commonly associate with muslimgauze and the metallic clank of industry, a proper sunstroke riddim: angry and unforgiving.

a double ep release from the classic music company, mixing together friends old and new from the label. recent signings to classic, no dial tone deliver their second original production to the imprint - standing still – a deep slow burning almost bjork-esq vocal record kicks off the a side. long time label cohort from the early bar rumba days, mathew herbert twists and turns the record into something completely herbert and ultimately classic in its make up. on the flip…long-time greenskeepers man james curd returns to classic with nothing short of a bump! gentle help is typical curd funk and now with added black madonna flavours. road tested relentlessly at the smart bar, the chicago native channels the essence of old dance mania records and funnels it into something typically a little left of centre. each track is uniquely different and recognisably classic.

get down edits return with volume 4 in the series this time we have fingerman and deadly sins alongside label head honchos gde.

sexy deep remixes from dj jus-ed, boo williams, ron deacon, rick wade

chaos is a tough, ny-house jam with 909 trim. first 3 minutes for the mix, then ending up just north of hypnotic bell house. strictly for the floor. memphis is a broken shell of a sampled break, worked and loaded under matt maaskants emotive freestyling on a concertmate mg-1. trace is the wandering groove of an excited arpeggiator, after the drum machine has left the building.

adam jay’s “mediastinum ep” is the product of a near death experience turned into an opportunity to create. after experiencing acute trauma to the left lung, the artist was diagnosed with pneumomediastinum, the sounds featured in the production of this record were recorded in the intensive care unit at community east hospital in indianapolis. “inward” is a raw, stripped down stomper filled with anxiety and a pace of purpose. the a2 track, “terrible precision” brings an atmosphere of tension and darkness that drives the ep forward. the synth groove of “chatter” sits atop the recordings of medical monitoring equipment intended to alarm the listener. the unsettling dischord created is contrasted by a powerful low end groove. “concert of the machines” comes with an addictive half time broken beat groove. the warm, effected electric piano work plays off more alert sounds from the hospital room creating a chilled out vibe that is ideal for closing a set. already support from justin berkovi, nigel richards, gayle san, tony rohr, andrei morant, and brian kage.
