solarism is the result of a common fascination for landscapes and a passion for contemplation. after two decades of an unbreakable friendship, we have finally imagined a way to express what contemplation has offered us and how it connects us to the world, describing those experiences through musical compositions, dj performances and welcoming other artists to release their art. here is how markus described his mind’s landscape composing these pieces of music, and it talks more than any description: have you ever thought that you are two people? do you have memories that are so detached from who you are now that you sometimes believe they are not your own? like something you have read or seen in a movie? you wonder who that was, your very own tyler durden? and here he is with a gift from another time when i was another person, living so fast and unconscious that i eventually almost lost the only thing we really have – my life.

lush life enhancing frequencies ahead

intense tempos, railing percussion, muscle charge. the music of repro radiates like an electric skyline across the inner eye, as the striking beat sends you spiralling down through the cold fabric of modern life. this is techno in it’s most urgent, and unapologetic form.

claudio mate & francesco mazzocco directly from dub-ito headquarter introduce for the third chapter of the label an artist that doesn’t need too many introductions... violet poison... during these last years violet’s music has been one of the most interesting alternative proposal also giving a great influence over ebm, industrial, techno movement with his dark/esoteric imprint. claudio and violet having a longtime music friendship, they both decided that it was the right time to do something unique. for this - voices from the hell - previously released exclusively on tape/cassette by hospital productions, got the placet for a new wax life directly by hospital main man dominick fernow.

many dance music lovers who frequent creative music hubs such as cxema in kiev, rabiza and arma17 in moscow or mosaique in st. petersburg have already been introduced to obgons live sets, andrew lees drilled-up high speed dancefloor project. he is also known as one half of interchain a live band that leads an energetic artistic life spanning from ambient sessions in abandoned industrial spaces, to playing high octane techno at the biggest festivals in russia, such as the main stage of present perfect festival right after aux 88 and before philipp gorbachev. andrew lee is a rather calm guy who prefers action to talking about himself, but we do know that he quit his day job to focus on music.

a project that came to life fuelled by collectors obsession and a lifelong willingness to dive head- first into unknown musical wormholes, miles whittaker and sean canty have never been defined by a singular musical trajectory. their opening salvo of releases dabbled with the aesthetic of the occult and provided an alternate, parallax view of the italian library records with which they were both obsessed at the time, but as their long running mixtape series and brilliantly curated dds label attest, their interests extend far outside the crevices of early electronic music and into dance music, dancehall, roots, jungle, techno, industrial, noise and beyond. while 2013s testpressing series provided an outlet for mostly club-based productions shot from the hip, wonderland has been constructed with a narrative in mind.from the clipped hardstyle of the opening curzon, through the jaunty dancehall mutations of animal style and fulledge, exotica/house refractions on hardnoise, the frankly ridiculous, bassbin destroying jungle ructions on sourcer, or the extended tease of overstaying, its probably the most enjoyable and loose-limbed hour of music in their catalogue, or that youll likely hear in these weird, angst-ridden times.

special edition invite texan disco lover the silver rider to deliver the 4th release on the imprint. he does so in style dropping a blend of latin, disco and funk vibes into his trademark tracky arrangements and well produced sound. all 3 tracks will scorch the dance floor and lead to life affirming results - there will be dancing!

jay haze is back with a new single from his forthcoming album entitled rain drops and birds out in late feb. 2017

normal bias are two good friends - yac and 77 - who both went through punk rebellion, death metal fumes, the fall of the berlin wall, and even managed to settle down in life. along the way they listened to 80s/90s transformation period rebel vibes through a filter of dub - a sound and a tradition that they have always remained faithful to. each of them is highly regarded on the polish dub/dub techno scene in their own right, and now they combine forces, skills and equipment to create a modern take on a sound that unites studio one and berlin s chain reaction legacies. this vinyl lpweighs 180g.

cahoots records continues to bring new house sound to light with respect to the past influences that have shaped it s history. volume 6 continues the cahoots tradition of combining 4 striking house trax on one record.

limited rsd 2016 picture vinyl release.

pop ambient - our longest-running compilation series after total - sees a new instalment for 2017, featuring exclusive material from acclaimed genre veterans and series newcomers jens-uwe beyer, yui onodera & scanner, max wÜrden, leandro fresco, thore pfeiffer, kenneth james gibson and soulsavers remixed by wolfgang voigt.

the europe-centered techno scene might be thinking: where is techno in a city as vast, dynamic and electric as new york? it’s alive and well, and keeps growing through aptly-named new york trax. founded in 2016 and based in brooklyn, new york trax is an outlet for new york music, by new york artists, in new york city. new york trax 02 was written by boris brenecki (ontal, impulse controls), who has recently relocated to new york, starting a new chapter in his life and artistic career. this record is the very first material he produced in new york, heavily inspired by the city and its people. ‘the oven’, with its continuous filthy groove intensified by metallic percussions, is a serious candidate for an instant classic and a deadly weapon when used on a dancefloor. the grittiness of “the oven” was depicted through images of the less beaten paths of new york in a well-received official video published recently by the label. dark yet insanely dynamic “transit system”, based on field recordings of the new york city subway, opens with a bang the b side of the record, followed by “strictly hardcore”, a sonic manifesto of brutality. get it while it’s hot!

after a string of releases in 2016, french journeyman and beat craftsman hugo lx returns on balance recordings with his first house long player. supposedly designed as a more traditional 3-tracks offering, the project progressively turned into a two parts album, reflecting on past, present and future events through organic electronic music, with the loss of a dear friend and men­tor as the turning point. instead of a contemplative tribute piece, this effort focuses on storytelling, narrating crucial life moments through various song and interlude formats, colours and musical styles, producing a vaporous yet funky, jazzy and hiphop infused house music, flirting with soulful atmospheres and ambiant elec­tronic textures.

rolling minimalistic groovers from birdsmakingmachine for the ninth instalment of the series. a versatile ep that keeps in line with the bmm trademark sound, while offering a track for each mood, from more dancefoor-oriented club music to stripped down afterparty vibes passing through broken beat influences and eclectic atmospheric soundscapes.

after repeatedly being visited by a strange messenger in his dreams while on tour in the islands of greece, toby pazner became consumed with a vision to tell the stories of theolympians through music. chosen by the gods as a messenger for not only his musical gifts, but for his unique position at the center of the daptone family, toby built a home studio from scratch and employed some of the top soul musicians in the world to help him breath life into this album. the result is a dramatic and cinematic journey to the outer limits of instrumental soul music, built on a foundation laid by the same craftsmen who’s bricks built the legacies of sharon jones, lee fields, charles bradley, the budos band, and menahan street band, and painted with lush strings, harpsichord, harp and horns. the olympians is destined to be the instrumental gem of the year.
the vinyl lp includes a download code.

six action-packed oldschool jams with all the vintage machines you need in your life.

wm009 is the debut album from white material co founder young male. a collection of dark ambient and textured experimental songs created as a personal soundtrack for life in uncertain times. paranoia, lust, virtual experience, and tension/release are themes explored in this tour through a dystopian american landscape.

the master is back, not many words needed to introduce one of the biggest pioneers of deep & emotional electronic music. karim sahraoui play on a league of his own, this is the second release of many to come. thank you.

a journey through a twin world powered by life experiences. moments soundtracked by inevitable encounters and occurrences. psychedelia and ambient collide over ten tracks to create a rich and lucid colour palette of sounds, all fused together by a deep rooted love of glitch and electronica, that somehow stops the listener from venturing too far into the unknown.

sascha borchardt aka monoloc is a dystopic atmospheres fanatic that has dedicated his life to the dance floor from an early age. the frankfurt-born artist’s raw yet sleek take on techno and ambient has evolved to characterise his own musical style in his productions. monoloc’s sound is a mixture between techno, dub and ambient, nurturing a tone that is driving, groovy and low-slung, but with greater emotional range. he acquires most of his inspiration from old movies and likes to work mostly with field recordings in his productions. ‘the untold way’ on dystopian is his second album, following his first in 2012, and shows a notably matured development in the artist’s style.

the mythical transdance from uk duo night moves is given a much needed official repress by domestica records and the barcelona label have spared no expense. a limited pressing of 400 10-s come housed in hand screen printed sleeves accompanied by a leaflet with complete biography of the band. despite the paucity of night moves discography, it s clear the duo of michael guihen and john davis have had an everlasting effect on the canon of synth music with their much admired debut. transdance was originally released as a limited 12- white label in 1981, finding favour on the dance floors of europe and new york city yet never really gained the wider exposure it richly deserved. original copies of the gc1 pressing of transdance still command slightly ridiculous prices on discogs so kudos to domestica for this rather special presentation which features a previously unreleased demo cut -life up- on the flip.

“here come the horns” is the second studio album by the hip hop group delinquent habits. formed in east los angeles in 1991, the group are known for their latin-tinged rap, which is both melodic and hardcore. their first self-titled album movlp1338 was executive produced by cypress hill member sen dog and featured guest appearances by sen himself as well as puerto rican new york city rapper hurricane g.
their second album, “here come the horns”, again featured sen dog as well as sen’s brother, pioneering latin rapper mellow man ace. the album was also produced by sen dog and paul stewart. music videos were made for “this is la” and “here come the horns”.

turbo recordings is proud to present the definitive collection of remixes for planet e, tigas collaboration with hudson mohawke from this years no fantasy required lp. in fact, were so proud and excited that were going to jump straight into blow-by-blow trackdescriptions while the passions hot. 01 dense & pika remix hypercolour label boss alex jones and chris spero (aka glimpse) deliver what canresponsibly be called one of the years biggest chart-topping smash remixes. this wasalso released on counter records as part of tigas album deal, so at worst you have aspare copy for your bomb shelter. 02 danny daze polyester mix we have been trying to get this miami-based producer on the label for years, and thisremix is the closest weve gotten so far. sometimes life is about compromise, and if youget enough future-italo-electro hits like this one you may be lucky enough to forget whatyou wanted in the first place. 03 mele remix dont you ever dare say that turbo doesnt care about young uk producers. until youstop for good, well keep tapping talents like mele, whose love of brazilian beats, classichouse tracks, and trans-atlantic hip-hop shine through on this mix. but while genre checklists are great and vital and exciting and so much of the reason we do what we do, its the music thats the pudding youll find your proof in.

debüt-ep des neuen warp-signings aus italien: lorenzo lenni offenbart aus der perspektive des ex-straight-edge-hardcore-punkers eine frische sicht auf den 1990 er hardtrance und seine auswirkungen auf edm und dancehall. allerdings sind seine emotions und sensationsstrukturen verfeinert und eindringlicher, was seine ep in eine reihe mit den arbeiten von sophie, plastikman, ennio morricone oder squarepusher stellt, die das schnelle auf und ableben in den zyklen der modernen musik überdauern.

for fans of: - stone throw records - analog experimental sample based music - psychedelic rock - afro ancestral i may have no possessions, but here lies everything one needs this is alexandre francisco diaphras motto as governor of his own life. a multifaceted artist from guinea-bissau, based in lisbon: rapper, poet, edutainer & beatmaker, creating music based on improvisation in which he blends his psychedelic, black music, afro ancestral influences and love for the non-quantized beats in the same way as with experimental jazz, mixed contemporary and urban styles.
the 180 gram double vinyl is housed in a gatefold sleeve.

when psychemagik’s danny mclewin decided to launch spacetalk records, he didn’t just want to reissue rare material. from the start, one of his stated aims was to deliver fresh new versions of obscure cuts from his record collection. it’s perhaps fitting, then, that the label’s second 12” breathes new life into a suitably little-known gem: avant garde’s 1982 euro-boogie b-side, “everybody’s lover”.

after a few years spent in quiet reflection during his introduction to the wonders of fatherhood, in relationen emerges as both a refined and mature comeback, as well as a distinct new beginning for the long-time berlin producer. the pensive character, delicate emotional undertones, and careful lines drawn with precise tension across restrained arrangements may sound familiar to fans of his earlier work, but there is now a greater sense of calm, an openness that rewards listeners both on and off the dance-floor. as contemplative as it may be, in relationen still rocks, particularly on the title track, where a frontal psychedelic guitar line gently weeps across a haunting, hypnotic field of rhythm. the krautrock influence runs deep, not in a superficial way but in the depths of the music: atop the rolling, pastoral grooves, the vibe of a bright german mind reorganizing itself to a new framework, re-aligning to a fresh phase of life, finding deeper communion with the world through the discovered balance of inner peace

transmitting straight from the 10th floor of a beat-down rotterdam skyscraper is studio barnhus debutant mark fader. when hes not analyzing the bird life outside his studio window or contemplating matters of love, death and office management, fader enjoys churning out true school electro cuts with a modern edge and some extra fonk. we were lucky enough to catch four examples of this to put on record. vinyl only release because it felt good this time. studio barnhus is forever!

it started with the idea and a few tracks and it ended with this megalomaniac looking package. one of the finest compilations we put together ever, touching every corner of today’s clubmusic we love! - kristian

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.

silencio, a new label out of chicago, will debut its first release from new young talent cirq’on titled the other side ep. on the a-side, “screaming around”, makes its presence felt with a beefy bass line that periodically stacks and stutters throughout its progression. this track is impossible to resist. even the most hardened scenester, the type of person who never dances in an effort to look cool, will be forced to cut a rug as they acquiesce to the bombardment of this pleasing beat. peppered throughout with spooky vocals, tempestuous tones and mysterious snippets, it leads you down a path of rhythms that pushes past the point of no return. similar to the first transmissions intentionally broadcast out into our universe for the purpose of contacting intelligent life, “the messenger” delivers on the b-side with layers of haunting harmonies that unfold over simple, satisfying drums. it’s steadily driven by scintillating sounds in the form earthbased radio signals that rise and fall, as if bouncing off of orbiting space debris on their journey to the great unknown. this track is best described as a mind-exp.

ltd to 300 , already support by jeremy underground, flabaire, phil asher, olivier portal, cedric sabras, dj caspa…..

alleviated records is proud to present the donnie tempo ep re-issue. darren brandon, producer behind artists such as nature love night life collective, knu je distant music and club ice black market international/mca and dj quad gives us this 3-track ep. deeper house-music enthusiasts who are into the historical facts and aspects behind the music will find much interest in the selection mental problem on this ep. mental problem has it s own special place in the history of chicago and the development of this music that the whole globe now enjoys. there were many dance tracks that were exclusive to the dance floors of clubs in chicago that were never released as commercial recordings, well - not until this issue of this very deep and energetic selection that embodies elements of acid, deep and tribal dance cuts. enjoy!

donny benet. you know the name by now. man of the people. wielder of synths. virtuosic in style, both aural and visual. sydneys undisputed master of conduction through seduction. the man has an almost otherworldly control over his music and his crowd. one slap of the bass and the world melts at his feet. one outrageous synth solo after the other and the competition falls around him. donny benét makes you sweat. donny benét brings the heat. we are unbelievably honoured to have donny benet make his plastic world debut with working out, a pulsating ode to the things in life that get you perspiring

marcel vogel s lumberjacks in hell label shows no signs of slowing as it ramps up a killer new salvo from debutant artist c scott. -climb on- is an uptempo workout to capture the absolute peak of the party in the funkiest of ways, while -hands free- provides an apt alternative with its slow, organ-led whimsy. disco remains the backbone of the sound here, whatever tempo the track rolls at and wherever it may head. -stuttering- demonstrates this perfectly with its heavily treated, head-spinning fx still capturing that classic good-time mood, while -at ease- finishes on a life-affirming canter of rhodes led celebration.

“- see fee? what’s that? - just the chemical symbols for the elements carbon and iron, elijah. carbon is the basis of human life and iron of robot life. it becomes easy to speak of c/fe when you wish to express a culture that combines the best of the two on an equal but parallel basis. - see fee. do you write it with a hyphen? or how? - no, elijah. a diagonal line between the two is the accepted way. it symbolizes neither one nor the other, but a mixture of the two, without priority.” (the caves of steel, isaac asimov)

back in 2015 our bearded dirtybird player, will clarke, needed a secret weapon for some of his festival gigs for the summer. he sampled the ghetto house legend, dj funk, who made an appearance on dirtybird back in 2013 for the kill frenzy smash, “make that booty clap”. will passed it on to the rest of the dirtybird crew, and before we knew it the track took a life of it’s own and quickly became one of the most requested tracks, even to this day. will ended up linking with dj funk himself, and they turned what was a quick bootleg into a full blown collaboration. ladies & gentlemen, “booty percolatin’” is officially here. for the flip side, we added will’s solo effort “house girl”, a bumpin’ ride with a contagious bassline and chanting vocals for all the ‘house boys’ and ‘house girls”

hotflush are proud to introduce an exciting young artist, pyur, along with her singular debut lp epoch sinus. despite her relative newness, pyur meets the world with fully formed and unique signatures in both visual and sonic work, revealing a deep artistry that transcends medium. growing up in munich, in and amongst the same fecund scene that spawned artists like the zenker brothers and skee mask, pyur cut her teeth from a young age as a guitarist and singer before becoming spellbound by the electronic world’s endless scope for sound design. endowed with innately strong synaesthesia and reared in a shamanic household, she tells how music “played the biggest role in my growth. it alone had the purpose to help me dissolve boundaries, discover the beauty of life’s mechanisms, create freely. it talked. soon i felt like the music was making me, not the other way round.” epoch sinus is a seamless and heartfelt whole, a life-like being unto itself, describing the disintegration of barriers between the self and the all. here pyur offers an intimate and personal statement, combining knowledge of universal harmony with electronic music. she states: “i m mainly influenced by my inner visions and nature itself, yet also a lot from club culture, which is undoubtedly an important space of connection and freedom for so many people”. the record dances playfully between supposedly incompatible qualities: moments of brutality turn to softness, new life embraces decomposition, while explosive rhythmic and melodic structures are tempered with gentle and subtle percussion.

the symbiosis piece by malcolm pointon was very interesting and is the kind of use synthesizers should be put to. synthesizers should explore new sounds rather than imitate conventional ones... practical electronics magazine c.1975 malcolm pointon was born in 1940, stoke on trent. he spent his life and career in tape, synthesizer and keys, academia, sound, music and machine. here, for the first time, public information and ian helliwell present the rarely heard works of malcolm pointon. with permission given by malcolms widow barbara, helliwell has compiled an lp of material taken from master tapes of home-recorded, never released electronic material.

pieced together from sounds and samples from all over the globe, the albums aim is to charge listeners with harmony and a feeling of connectedness to the world. reflecting on his own attitude towards life and the importance of inner balance, pavel attempts to share some of the spiritual experiences he made while traveling.

there’s a new (or old?) family of funk in town and their history is kind of a mystery. rumor has it the le’trells came close, but never were able to secure a record deal in their time. curious and unable to locate any master tapes, it took a younger generation of le trell boys to breath life back into the grooves and deliver an modern update to that which never was. on the one is sure to be a modern funk anthem certified floor filler already making the rounds in chicago, nyc, detroit and la with a moody sax filled b side that hits just as hard in the club as it does in the whip! heres to hoping the le trell boys prayers are finally answered!
