while this album could have gone down a rather obvious route, with the remixers of the asphodells album *ruled by passion…*, andrew weatherall looked a little closer to home.
mainly revolving around the axis - the group of locally-based producers who can be spotted in and out of weatheralls shoreditch studio bunker - reworkings from the likes of phil kieran, scott fraser, hardway bros, justin robertson and ivan smagghe soon came to light.
this idea lead to a broad range of styles with something for everyone. we have stopped arguing in the office about which is the best track. they all are.

craig smith & peter oakden release their second record on new imprint fifty fathoms deep, with root downs master of rare vinyl & wine rainer trueby & room with a view favourite marlow. on the a side youll find part.1 with rainer & marlows very first collaboration together finally seeing the light of day. on the flip side is craig smiths part.2. peace

nicone, the versatile musician and likeable style-icon: unshaven and latently bleary-eyed, of course, but elegant and - thankfully - modest at the same time. over the past years, alexander gerlach has become synonymous with a certain playful touch and light hearted attitude that flows through his music and goes hand in hand with a laidback natural tenor.

für clark bilden seine remixes die spannbreite an unterschiedlicher musik ab, die er in den letzten zehn jahren veroeffentlicht hat. mit einem unterschied: sie wirken geloester, weil man beim umgang mit material anderer kuenstler mehr freiheiten genießt

drei farben house returns on tenderpark with his third album choice item, consisting of eight light-footed slices of soul and disco as perceived through housetinted glasses.

die bandbreite der zwoelf songs reicht von frickeliger indie elektronik, angereichert mit spaßigem geraeuschchaos, über poppig-housige minimal tracks mit ear-catcher-hooks bis hin zu sensiblen singer-songwriter miniaturen und aetherischen athmos. die beats – ob housig oder als rockig angehauchtes live-schlagzeug eingesetzt – sind niemals nur funktionaler natur. sie fühlen sich immer ganz dem song verpflichtet. in eine schublade pressen laesst sich in a manner of sleeping nicht – eklektizismus und ploetzliche ueberraschungen durchbrechen jedes genrekorsett.

beeinflusst von 80er jahre soundtracks, krautrock, alten hip hop-platten und dance-musik der vergangenen jahrzehnte, lieferte tythe bereits mehrere remixe für acts wie james mcarthur, crystal fighters und david lynch - und so ist and also with you eine ambient platte, die sich musikalisch vor den großen namen a la boards of canada, biosphere oder global communication nicht verstecken braucht.

jon mcmillion steps aboard the zoombezoom ship as it sets sail into a sea of dreams of future past. he gently weaves the sounds of jazz piano and disco organ loops with darkly glittering garlands of drum computer sequences and moody bass lines he journeys far to shine light onto deep emotions and inner beauty.

echovolt records begins a new series of official re-issues, shining light on productions that formed the labels identity. first up is the underground nyc house smash give ya luv show ya luv by vil-n-x originally released on island noyze records back in 1992. two essential mixes from two highly sought after gems from the golden era of deep house remastered and pressed loud.

ontology is the beginning of reality. pulsing rhythms as categories of being are acting like entities in a dusty void. sparkles of light underlines the times of creation, where nothing existed before. since nothing really existed for the human being, silence was full of noises.pulsation as the archaic form of life.
the ontology remix is made by bruno sacco, perfectly in line with coals original. a vision in a techno rough structure, with more bpm. the remix doesnt alter the original but approach it from another point of view. a vision in perfect parisian techno style.

nicolas cantu makes a welcome return to sequencias with the lost tribe—a brisk 808 workout with lush synthwork and psychedelic acid stylings. this is a more breezy approach compared to his work on other labels yet spares none of the imaginative or emotive qualities. on the flip side, label head jm de frias offers up the dissonant groover the light as a follow up to his debut track from levon vincents acclaimed fabric mix cd. brash percussion collides with staccato melodies awash in echo and organ, sustaining an intensity that never quite boils over. the two team up for the closer the last light, an atmospheric epic of growling strings, breathy ambience and melancholy stitched together with creaky, decrepit acid stabs and brittle percussion. this is the beginning of an on going collaboration between the two, keep your ears open in the near future.

every label has a >release of doom<, a 12 inch that was an incredible pain in the ass to put together and where everything imaginable went wrong. well this new trevino record was it! i wont go into details but this ep is too good to let bad karma prevail. >gone< has been a staple in my sets ever since i first heard it and >regnie< is possibly one of the best nighttime highway driving tracks (try it!). trevino, is he the best golfer in techno, or the most innovative techno producer on the golf circuit? fact is, im so happy this record finally sees the light of day and would be even happier if youd be into it too...

pole jam vinyl is a brand new vinyl record label brought to you by two well established labels in the digital domain: pole position recordings and glam jam artists. glam jam artists is the imprint of german producer satin jackets (dikso / house of disco). along with welsh based label pole position recordings their aim is to their bring their trademark glossy, deep and blissful nu disco & deep house sounds to vinyl with a real emphasis on quality, original new music. this new supercluster label pole jam vinyl is about to get turbo-charged with more horsepower than the calgary stampede! their debut lap around the track is an all russian affair, with both contributing artists having already established themselves in the digital music world. pole jam vinyl thought it was high time they got the chance to shine in the physical world too. with their debut, fuel injected joint venture, each team provides two slick-tyred, finely tuned masterpieces eagerly awaiting the green light to demonstrate what life is like at 33 revs per minute.

good things come to those who wait: the second release on the crazylegs label finally arrives in the form of an incendiary solo debut from nottinghams toyc. thats toy see — a name youre likely to hear popping up quite a bit over the coming months fresh from guest appearances on boiler room and bbc radio 1, ruffer and keyframe represent a bold snapshot of toycs unique sound: two dangerous slabs of light-footed, elastic bassweight that you may well recognise from the sets of jackmaster and ben ufo backing up the originals, an old vs new-skool grime soundclash, if you will — 8 bar pioneer youngstar and thrilling belfast newcomer bloom run amok with versions of keyframe. and finally the inimitable danny native twists ruffer into one of the most menacing pieces of dance music youll hear all year

atmosphere comes up with the new bourgeois slam and a huge remix pack by nico stojan (katermukke), sascha braemer (stil vor talent, dantze) and dan caster (light my fire).

due to its black color, the raven was often a harbinger of death in western culture, brought to you in conjunction with dark deeds. but according to native american medicine teachings, light comes out of darkness and the color black is associated with the source of all energy, creating new realities - with the raven as its messenger. silky raven, namely jakob seidensticker and henrik raabe, have dedicated their work to this process with projects like the havana boys, seidensticker/salour and wareika. on the remix duties we first have october, who delivers an homage to the lfo-influenced sound of the 90ies, raw and pure. and second we have a remix by visionquests shaun reeves and jay haze, who join forces to create a dubtechno- influenced pearl, perfectly rounding up the package.

next up on abdulla rashim s new imprint northern electronics - an ep from youngster acronym, four pieces of introvert techno with carefully layered atmospheres and a light in the end of the tunnel.

been a long time since we ve heard anything out of miami like this! producer greg beato follows up his blazing ep for funkineven s apron records with another killer three tracker....serious shit, 100% tip!beato somehow just knows how to get it right combining all the crucial electronic elements, creating three absolutely monsterous tracks that will crush the dancefloor. sure it s been said before, but the music does the talking and this ep is a pure unharnessed example of such. guaranteed to be in every djs bag this summer. further proof it s game over for weak watered down dance music.

midnight moves. thats what comes to mind when you listen to cale parks s n1, preferably at an hour long after dusk has settled around you in some beautiful, insomniac city. parks finds – or more aptly, seeks – beauty and grace in ambience and shadows. n1 starts as pure atmosphere – it feels at first like a sort of lovely sonic nothingness slowly taking form – before growing into the darkly lit, gorgeous moodscape it later becomes. a sensual bassline, a pulsing downbeat, a cinematic piano, strains of italo disco, and the sensation of breezing down a lightless road. if you could make sensuous shapes of the night – imagine kneading the dark itself – it might, at the very best, feel like this. the task of remixing parks s original is taken up by french duo paradis, who can otherwise be heard making music on tim sweeney s beats in space label. the paris-based producers shine a brightening light on parks s dusky creation, quickening its pulse and trading in its darkwave undercurrents for enlivening techno and house. theres an element of floating here – a dreaminess in the rhythms, an astral aspect to the keys beaming through the beats. and with the addition of vocals, sung in french – a pop finishing touch on a song that already feels like an earworm – the transformation is complete. this excellent introduction to cale parkss music is also his debut release on the hakt label.

moderat sind apparat (sascha ring) und modeselektor (gernot bronsert und sebastian szary). hier der bedächtige klangtüftler und pop-poet, dort die beiden techno-b-boys. beide acts stehen für die berliner elektronikszene jenseits der geraden bassdrum. modeselektor sind die großmeister der unterirdischen bässe und elektrisierenden breakbeats, apparat ist der feingeist der elektronischen popmusik...

moderat sind apparat (sascha ring) und modeselektor (gernot bronsert und sebastian szary). hier der bedächtige klangtüftler und pop-poet, dort die beiden techno-b-boys. beide acts stehen für die berliner elektronikszene jenseits der geraden bassdrum. modeselektor sind die großmeister der unterirdischen bässe und elektrisierenden breakbeats, apparat ist der feingeist der elektronischen popmusik. die verweigerung, sich mit dem vorhandenen abzufinden, schweißt die drei in einer künstlerfreundschaft zusammen. auf dem ersten album definierten sie 2008 den moderat-sound. wobbelnde bässe und zuckende beats auf der einen seite, apparats filigrane stimme auf der anderen: gerade der extreme kontrast erschuf das einzigartige moderat-gefühl. in den nächsten jahren wurden beide acts zu international bekannten künstlern. sie definierten mit bahnbrechenden alben den elektronischen sound der zeit. heute ist das spektrum emotional und stilistisch größer geworden. es gibt keine grundstimmung mehr. in elf tracks erzählen moderat ein facettenreiches und doch kompaktes epos. sie sind verführer und hooligans, grübler und partysäue. in ihrer welt sind partytaumel und tiefsinn kein gegensatz. sie lassen kein kapitel ihres elektronischen und ihres analogen lebens aus. im clash zeigen diese großen musikerpersönlichkeiten neue charakterliche facetten. so ist in dieser wiederbegegnung eines der großen alben der elektronischen popmusik entstanden.

nach ihrem durchaus gelungenen und erfolgreichen debütalbum *hunger* (top 40 uk-charts), haben die fünf jungs von frankie & the heartstrings ihr zweitwerk fertiggestellt. ihr großartiges nachfolgewerk *the days run away* wurde produziert und aufgenommen vom suede-mitglied bernard butler, der auch bereits 2011 an dem stück *everybody looks better (in the right way)* mitgearbeitet hat. die lp erscheint inklusive cd-version des albums.

3 tone dorsal fin, a new international band from berlin is pleoavcee from san diego, djcksatron from dallas, nora lune from switzerland and the producer count frankula also known as frank muller or beroshima: glistening is a tingling feeling in the skin as well as being perceived by sight or the hairs in your ears. perception of a sensation throughout our whole body - says the artist. lets see. listen up. or glisten up! all introduced by a distorted pitched alien space child rambling incoherently until shaken up by hesitant laughter. raps that rhymes euphemism with hypnotism and swagging with lagging better be good.

persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world! in this era of nü-disco, space disco, cosmic disco, disco house and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court. let the labels fall and just get it movin.

the ever elusive duo, flight facilities, will release their new single i didnt believe on may 7th (north america) & may 8th (australia & rest of world) 2013. alongside the tandem production outfit, alexander burnett (of sparkadia) & marcus browne share songwriting credits and bring a silky pop feeling to the song. it comes complete with a remix package, including another world-renowned secretive disco duo tiger & woods, new york based label owner lou teti (tigers on a leash) and studio buddy light year.

2014 repress! sven weisemann returns to telrae after his very successful elapse/ light sway with another stunning performance, showing he is a master of creating interactions of sounds perfectly embedded in space and time. elusion is like a sleeping day that awakes slowly, by the hour, in small steps it pulls itself up but then.. folds up as if there had never been the promise of a new day. >freund der familie< are hailed in berlin as one of the upcoming top talents and let us say this... they deserve the praise. their remix is an overgrowing wave of sounds that incorporates nice distortion and grows on you till you cannot do without it.this is a perfect flip side to sven weisemanns original, playing the game in a different way.

hot on the heels of dj deeps inaugural kern mix for tresor comes *kern vol.2*, selected and mixed by gigolos boss dj hell. the second 12 inch – the rarities – is a precious collection of forgotten early 90s grooves. on the a-side, none other than mr. daniel bell contributes to this special kern vol.2 with a track that has never seen the light of day since its year of production, 1992 – the chicago style version of his legendary blip title. a collectors piece. the b-side starts with nyc 90s lenny dee and ralphie dees (aka major problems) overdose, a 1990 relentless number originally released on nu groove. back to 92 with sub-cultures - dreams released on hayden browns own imprint strobe. all mixes on the original and rare 12 inch are simply excellent, and dj hell chooses here the forgotten tribal life mix.

at the edge of failure a door to greater understanding and discovery is sometimes opened. some of mankinds greatest discoveries and experiences took place by sheer coincidence or even by mistake. from the big bang, to penicillin, or the invisible light we call x-rays, chance and human error has played a big part of our history and evolution as a species - can we really afford to be perfect when we owe our mistakes and weaknesses so much?

lil jabba isnt like the rest of them. while they are busy joining the dots between house and techno or whatever is safe right now, he is throwing paint all over the page. he is not american, but he is affiliated with chicagos teklife crew (dj spinn, dj rashad, etc.) and divides his time between baltimore and brooklyn, exhibiting his visual art, riding around with his bike gang and making some of the most hypnotic juke and footwork you will ever hear. local action have been figuring out a release with him for over a year - eventually an ep wasnt enough, and they persuaded him to make it a full-length album, scales. some of scales has already seen the light of day through youtube or limited cassette releases, some of it is unheard. some tracks sound cleaner than others, that is because they are newer. that is how these things work. what is consistent throughout scales is the quality: across 12 tracks, jabba flips, twists and inverts the footwork template with endless layers of samples, gurgled vocal tags, jazz licks and whatever else he feels like. these arent trax, they are tapestries.

vinyl only! the four seasons volume ii features tracks by lost in the sound, whim-ee, pittsburgh track authority vs anaxander and perseus traxx. the range of this volume goes from acid house to techno. 4 bangers, 4 visions of dance music.

the second ep of remixes of tracks from unas laughing man album. out of the dark gets mixed by emissaries of the light (a rockin house/funk mix) and cavestar (a deep jazz funk mix) b/w angels at my gate remixed by omid 16b and grantby (with a great dreamy mix). full pic sleeve.

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!

1st pressing of 500 copies in limited embossed sleeve & 180g vinyl. the now legendary acid village demo sees the light of day pushes into the mysteries and darkness of night, looping crackless & melodies pop through an atmospheres of samples & strings, stetched out, deformed and leaving us asking who the creators are?

as apple pips continues to explore its opening mantra of echo, depth, swing and bass within the duplicitous realms of modern electronica, it welcomes to the fold two long-standing friends of the label and in turn sheds light on their own fresh avenues within house music. you might already know lrusse as id or behling, commonly found kicking up the dust alongside sam baobinga simpson in all manner of styles and tempos, while bleecker has an accomplished back-story in dubstep as wedge & through his own if symptoms persist imprint. in their new venture both producers fuse their dancefloor inclinations with more searching, experimental textures and tones, placing crafty sound design on a level pegging with the more immediate tropes of groove and presence.

double 180 gr vinyl, also includes digital download. swiss producer ripperton returns to present his new studio album a little part of shade due for release june 2013 on green records.

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!

2 years ago this producer was approached by miss kittin to remix a track of his choice, from her recently completed solo album. for various reasons, these mixes have never seen the light of day, apart from sporadic airings in said producers dj sets. now, finally, these unofficial remixes are released lovingly, on vinyl only, in a finite number, with the permission of the kittin herself... btw, already played by dxon

m1 sessions presents chips n chittlins vol. 1, featuring the talents of paul randolph and his timeless world view of musical influence. the full album previously released in limited numbers on cd will be released in two volumes on 12 inch. this project offers a 2 step garage sound blended with house and r&b. randolph has only begun to leave a magical legacy of sound behind him as his trail blazes light years in all directions of the universe.

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.

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.

two hot-ass jacked-out cheeky edits for summer, courtesy of foot & mouth. the a side is a great-take on a early house classic that get caught in the strobe light. on the flip pearls getting ripped up as every gets wet!

with the name of his new ep, ruede hagelstein sticks to the maritime visual theme of his recent watergate 13 compilation. the parrotfish is a colourful thalassian, who is as much skilled at submerging in mystical depths as ruedes light-footed producer-style. the grooves on the first side are filled with a collaboration between hagelstein and emerson todd.

nach dem erfolg ihres debütalbums liefern die kritikerlieblinge big deal ein geniales, rockiges bandalbum ab! vieles hat sich verändert seit big deal vor zwei jahren ihr unter kennern gefeiertes debütalbum lights out veröffentlichten. kacey underwood aus kalifornien und alice costelloe aus london berührten mit ihren unschuldigen schlafzimmersongs fans wie kritiker auf der ganzen welt. im kern ist mit june gloom ein bandalbum entstanden, ein rockalbum, das für die stärke big deals steht: das talent, mit stille zu arbeiten und gleichzeitig starke hymnen zu schaffen. und es markiert einen wendepunkt: sonisch und lyrisch!
doppelvinyl plus cd-version des albums.

ltd 2013 repress, vinyl only release. dutch newbie ivano tetelepta steps up to the plate for his 2nd release on fear of flying, >i think about you< is a sleek slow burning groove with hypnotic undertones, the repeated female vocal and sharp hi hats giving the track its dance floor impetus. >taksi< takes an altogether different path - pumping up the beats for a slice of pure peak time phunk whilst >open moment< injects a light melodic feel over dubbed out beats - one for early mornings and a fine way to end a really well balanced release.

sophistication and elegance have not always been the strobe light honey for die-hard divers into the dance genre, but it has been octo octas strongest suit since his 2011 debut 12 inch on 100% silk, and here again are those initial ideas of identity and hunger for intimacy all leading to an adrift, uneasy feeling, only they have materialized into that instantly recognizable, authentic oo sound.

die schottische pop institution texas meldet sich nach einer mehrjährigen pause endlich mit einem neuen studio-album zurück, das musikalisch nahtlos an ihre großen erfolge anknüpft und somit texas in hochform präsentiert.
