mono junk’s cult label dum records is back with a new five track various artists ep that again packs a vital punch. he appears himself along with some fellow legends of the scene. first up, morpholgy is a consistent performer who has continued to serve up quality electro since 2009 and here serves up a hot new piece. ‘vector plant’ is busy and industrial, slick and metallic as it unfolds and burrows deep into your veins. then comes the a2, irwin berg featuring freestyle man (aka finnish moodmusic boss sasse aka klas lindblad) with a track made in 1995 and never released before. this pair worked together and made a cult electro record for sähkö recordigs in 1998 and this one is just as impactful. it is frosty and frazzled, slow motion but high impact and full of distorted lines and heavy drums. next is mr velcro fastener who were the first kings of electro to come out of finland and between 1999 and 2006 were famous all over the world. their brand new cut ‘almost there’ is a deep one that is riddled with bleeping melodies and has smeared chords bringing a sci-fi feel. then it is mono junk’s turn to dive into the vaults with an unreleased track from 2005. ‘feeling or destroy’ is a physical number with crashing hits and snaking, gurgling bass that is dark and dystopian. last of all comes irwin berg with mono junk as new york city survivors. says the dum boss, “our unreleased track here was made after the new york city survivors – static light cd 2002” and it is a turbo charged track with screwed up grinding bass, icy hi hat rhythms and menace in its grooves.

a rosy light, shows her profile bleeds of tears and the bruises over her face. the shouts, have deafened of herself, the ears short is the breath, given by the humiliation the curled up limbs, to do not feel pain. and those tired eyes, to see of her nightmares, the faces they fade, as dissolving the dim light is, of another, damp, sun. -utopian soul –

blackwater is honoured and proud to present a very special release, in our production catalogue number as “bwl000”, released on vinyl in a very limited edition. a single side ep screen-printed on the non engraved side with a suggestive image of the sea of “capalbio”, a town intimately connected with the rise of blackwater society. the ep will be initially presented at the 2016 edition of the flussi festival where blackwater began its music journey two years ago starting right from -capalbio- and starting musically from that first piece “il mare di capalbio” produced by -devianza- owner of the label, who made this as homage for flussi. “il mare di capalbio” finally will see the light, being pressed on vinyl support exactly in the same month, in the same festival together with the same...

composite profuse, aka valerio lombardozzi aka heinrich dressel, breaks radio silence after seven years in the shadows. cold winds curl and otherworldly atmospheres abound for unalaska ice files. arctic tundra and ice are the inspiration, frozen vistas dappled with warming light, subtle shifts and sinister shades. teslasonic take on the title track, injecting electrical pulses and an underhanded edge. shipwrec stalwart, rob witsch aka the exaltics, gives his own icicle encrusted interpretation, one of stark percussion and expansive horizons. a welcome return to composite profuse. first run on coloured vinyl!

soul jazz records’ new nigeria soul fever is their first release to explore the vast wealth of nigerian music recorded in the 1970s. the new album comes with introductory sleevenotes by bill brewster (author of last night a dj saved my life).

no light at the end of the tunnel. no helping hand to pull you out of the hole. no second chances. no god to cure this deadly disease. no heaven to save your soul after your final seconds... hope will hold on, but in the end, death shall claim it. all this, we understand a little more, day by day. we will experience our absolute zero, and the stages of life that come as close. we think that we will never recover and that we are not strong enough to fight against it. our immaculate, peaceful souls, that we begin our lives with, start to bleed, and slowly get torn into, bit by bit by the cold hard truth that breaks our protective walls. we learn to handle and accept this even as pieces of us shatter and die every time a little bit more inside us. to give light, we must endure burning. but what if everything we are able to burn is gone? there is no other way... we are falling apart a bit more, every day... dedicated to this state of mind.

an obscure tape release discovery by red light radio founder and close friend of the label, orpheu de jong, led to music from memorys latest release. this two track 12inch highlights the work of electronic music pioneer joel graham, a san francisco based artist who self released two cassettes in 1984/85. originally recorded and performed live on pre-midi analogue equipment in 1982 as an outline for a live performance, these visionary tracks provoke much of the same sensibilities found in both contemporary dance music as well as in works of more established vanguard artists of the time. slowly unravelling and deeply hypnotic, joel grahams music seems to manifest a doorway to a profound new world and can be seen as a forerunner of what was to come in electronic music.

poker flat recordings deliver another killer collaboration, this time between berlins youandme and the analog roland orchestra. the result is reflection an ep containing more than its fair share of pure dance-floor moments. the analog roland orchestra is michal matlak, the berliner whose intimate knowledge of dance musics most iconic machines has made him a much-in-demand producer and remixer. teaming up with party starters youandme as well as vocalist black soda, the title track of this release explores deep vibrations, merging 303 basslines, crisp 909 programming and a highly effective vocal. the dub tool reworks the vocals into a more spacey arrangement, adding atmosphere for djs who like to keep their sets stripped back and trippy. the hyenah remix flips the script and develops a deep afro-house inspired cut the man from the caymen islands developing an irresistible groove stretched out over seven and a half minutes. the acid mix gives an opportunity for the guys to get busy working the 303 to its full (un) natural potential, while the morning light mix locks into a cosmic vibe shimmering synths over a smooth, rolling deep house vibe

rivulet records are continuing their release just where the compilation at the beginning of the year left us. again bringing 4 artists together on one release shifting between dusty, mellow house and some how twisted techno. peonies from russia, who has been releasing tapes on his own label „summer night“ since 1 year, sets the mood for the record with his track „soft light“ which sounds almost like a dim, fading memory of a club night full of classy house records. the rework by ital, the head behind „lovers rock“ from new york, builds up the mood in a complete different, driving and technoid atmosphere. the b-side is the first cooperation between two very old friends, berni from trier and jonas palzer from berlin, both part of portray records. their tracks are playing with the same kind of hauntology as the a—side, building up a sound that is familiar and distant in the same way - referring to old records by boards of canada as well as to the contemporary sound of „house“ at its best meaning.

the activ-analog collective return under this name for the first time in 10 years with a blistering new ep on lisbon s assemble music. taken from group live jams which are mixed down and tweaked on the fly, these four tracks recall the explosive simplicity of daniel bell s output on accelerate, both a-side tracks all whacked-out acid and basslines cut through by razor sharp hats and claps. the b-side sees the addition of the same woozy pads that defined their venerated night shift eps from the late 90s, taking the mood far into the afterhours. hard but with a light touch, funky and clean - in one word, irresistible.

one per customer ... the wonderful black ops sub label from the sleazybeats people wraps up, which has been a monumentally successful series by anyone s standards, with an ep from the notorious sample bandits, the popular peoples front over a decade after launching a distinctive series whose ambitions amounted to no less than condensing thirty years of black club music into a beautifully packaged, portable collage of sonic sample goodness, the sb crew tracked them down & appealed to their anarchic, nihilistic nature by offering them the final release on the label. the ppf project itself came to a close at release no. 10, so the synchronicity was strong for no other reason than a desire to celebrate dancefloor abandon and strive to soundtrack the purest forms of hedonism, ambiguous sexuality and a transcendent celebration of outsider culture, not to mention a green light to shamelessly exploit, steal and otherwise pilfer their source material, they said yes. after trying, with no small amount of success to transcend the basic edit through the ppf series, the band have again worked their collage approach into three truly magical cuts as always, this is a limited, vinyl only release. it will not be repressed and will not be released digitally. not now, not ever
