borrowed music return to wax see s a release that very nearly didn t see the light of day. between the years of 1995-99, toka project were writing tracks at diy s studio and releasing ep s with their label, s4g. these tracks were stored on dat tape (remember) and left for release at a later date. when the toka boys moved into their own place the dats were misplaced and presumed lost for good. unknown to anyone at the time, the tracks had simply been placed on a hard drive and forgotten about, until now. so, borrowed is very proud to present a slice of unreleased 90s house just the way we like it

hidden away in the vaults of the (not so) mysterious bufiman, these almost lost recordings will see new light through our little imprint in the middle of june!

cadenza records displays a deft touch in showcasing new talent, just as much as it leans on its core of established producers. the * split ep* shines a bright light on the musical endeavors of enrico gasperini aka gas, and fellow italian, lino pugliese.

the chicago based perpetual rhythms label welcomes long time chicago artist brian harden for the its 5th release, the essence of chicago. this ep offers 3 solid tracks, including a remix by dj quad, all of which represent the many facettes of chicago house & techno, deep, soulful, & banging.

hailing from toulouse, french trio signs have already carved themselves out an interesting niche within the nu-skool neuro scene, stamping their unique output into the publics consciousness with big releases on red light records, bad taste recordings and c4c recordings. their beats are sparse and militant with each drum hit afforded the space to dominate the audio spectrum, with pauses and moments of silence, delicately programmed into the dna of the drum tracks, playing big part in the groove s forward momentum, propelling the riddims forward and creating a dynamically powerful and compelling backbone for the rugged, tough basslines to shine.

next up on les disques de la mort, and we playing with all the preconceptions, once more. now we are slowing things down, and speeding them up. the word is elastic . we are back with our most psychedelic release to date and you are the first to be injected. rodion & mammarella are known for their strange hybrid of slow burning electronic disco but they have been on the mountain of truth. they saw the light. they flew off. on the remix duties toulouse low trax provides the dusseldorf angel dust to suspend you in time and space and flavien berger, the new wunder french kid, is on the opiate shuffle.

bosh! matrixxman, who has appeared on labels such as dekmantel and unknown to the unknown, comes through utterly correct and most vertical with his debut album for sam valenti s ghostly international stable - by now an institution of electronic dance music worldwide.

welcome back to the movielike resonating sound world of the 23s. already in 2008 the mysterious one-man band proofed with the album “bolivia” that they are trying to do another kind of music – something that isn’t entertainment, something that isn’t show, something that goes gently straight to your soul. now the producer from nord-rhine-westphalia did it again and tuned in the longplayer “flamingo”. anew he delivers a special kind of cinematic journey music that grooves opposite to his other, more rhythm based hypnotic dance productions. also as the 23s he produces pattern-based music, but it pursues a different intention: each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films that his inner eye creates unprejudiced. all ten tracks are romantic smooth operators. they put themselves in service of an artistic vision, in which the listener should get lost in music. the album can be seen as a love-letter to the movie scores of the french 70s cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements you can hear in the early cinema of peter greenaway. with double bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there and beats that recollect the warm jazz influenced soul of oldschool hip-hop the 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. you can listen to it attentive. or you can just play it in the back while doing whatever you like to do. it is recommended to play “flamingo” in a decent amount of volume as all loungey tracks begin to live bigger and brighter with sound intensity. if you play it flashy you will experience an atmospheric sometimes light-flooded, sometimes foggy 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls to fill the room between the notes with their very own milky fancy. soon the album will be accompanied by a bunch of remixes tuned in and twisted by producers like giegling and white artists edward, christian s of the cómeme tribe, canadian producer the mole and the german post rock and electronic music band to rococo rot.

with -me and i- and -don t make me- he dropped 2 nice mellow - moody, percussive tracks that have a light deep dark touch - perfect for hot summer nights m.in takes the original track and simply doesn t gives a fuck if its 30° in the shade - his rmx is a highhat driven oldschool peaktime track that makes you sweat your ass off on the dancefloor. own.way takes a closer look an the original textures and brings his remix in a dry, more groovy package

with soul, his first solo ep, alles andrs appears in a new, but not altogether unfamiliar light. the bavarian based producer sounds like an analog pop shepherd with clean fingernails, providing the needed feed for djs. here on his debut you will find three mind-blowing vocal house club bangers with over-modulated frequencies for the nightly sweat outbreak. this music is the easily-understood sonic language of alles andrs. he gives us space and depth, and the music is positioned somewhere within a sonic cosmos.

huge package from west end of exclusive or never before released versions of one of the highlights from their illustrious catalogue.... arthur russell s loose joints... is it all over my face? kon (king of nothing!) sourced the original stems to completely re make the track utilising both the female and male vocal parts in his outstanding -duet- mix. also included in the barnstorming 13 minute original version that s never seen the light of day... its significantly and dare we say on par with the original version! finally included is the rare as hens teeth original female vocal 3:10 7- version that was only ever released as a promo at the time. huge release that s set to cause ever lasting ripples in the disco music community!

berlin based label schakal’s first ep comes from antialias, one of its two founders and is called -somber clarity-. the title track makes us think of the return into the early morning light, but could just as easily be a reminder to those dark and delirious hours that came before.

dfalt’s latest release brings the music back to where jason was all those years ago, twisting knobs on his beat up old roland 303. this time he steps to the plate with a host of tools including ableton, mpc1000, technics 1200s, various korg koass pads, casio sk-1, amongst many other gadgets and toys. an appreciation fort he old school masters and the mid-90s experimental and electronic beat scene, mixed with jason’s ever evolving production techniques, are what brought dfalt and his latest record to life.

markantonio can rightly be described as one of italys true techno titans, working tirelessly as he has since the late nineties to bring the tougher side electronic music into the light. recording for labels such as marco carolas design music, billy nastys tortured records and umeks recycled loops, markantonio has spent the last 16 years on the cutting edge of quality techno but it was with the launch of his analytic trail imprint in 2001 that he perhaps truly came into his own.

elusive records keeps growing, thanks to our beloved artists, supporters, and the universe. putting quality first and bringing you the finest of the world’s underground, since 2008. information ghetto (3rd wave, get physical, multi vitamins, pro-tez,) makes his second appearance on elusive, once again proudly exhibiting his rich, distinctive, layered sound, with what is probably the most melodic track on this record. joining him, are two no less exciting finds. andrey burtaev (aka electrosoul system, kos.mos.music, highway records) is shining light at his space-dub project with mega secret weapon dub over moscow, and berliner sebastian albrecht (park recordings) is taking it towards his highly-infectious, precision hi-tech sound. watch out for these guys eps in the nearest future!

washerman who is steadily proving his outstanding craft since many years, delivers yet another uncompromising oldskool house cut to shake the floors worldwide. slightly ravey with a bouncing acid bassline riding on a driving beat: a sure play. crowdpleasers remix refers to an end of 80s / beginning of 90s house music style by using retro drummachine sounds and a prominently mixed hypnotic synth melody, which both somehow remind us of old david cronenberg movies. crowdpleaser is an experienced cat and a long time contributor to genevas cultural dance music diversity. he has co-produced the critically acclaimed album *2006* with st plomb and has released many on-the-point tracks ever since. emerging from st plombs debut album country city country, these two remixes almost desperately have been waiting to see the light (on a 10 inch vinyl release!). we think: these two remixes make another swiss crop-of-the-house release!

italian records strikes again with another retro-futuristic step through its kult 80s catalog. in the late 70s gaznevada has been one of the most relevant italian punk-wave band coming to light from italian underground scene. in 1982 with i.c. love affair gaznevada moved from post-punk to new-wave pop electronic, this tune is, without any doubt, considered as a proto-house disco, an anthem on the most important clubs all over the world. for this special 2015 release italian records included in the package reconstructions by i-robots and giangi cappai, the already well know munk edit and finally & officially the david depino edit

markantonio can rightly be described as one of italys true techno titans, working tirelessly as he has since the late nineties to bring the tougher side electronic music into the light. recording for labels such as marco carolas design music, billy nastys tortured records and umeks recycled loops, markantonio has spent the last 16 years on the cutting edge of quality techno but it was with the launch of his analytic trail imprint in 2001 that he perhaps truly came into his own. the label became a hotbed for emerging and established names as markantonios own productions sat alongside releases from the likes of jospeh capriati, davide squillace, rino cerrone, & paco osuna. away from the studio he established himself as a global dj, taking his own unique sound on to the road, across europe and beyond and garnering fans wherever he went.

die zehn dub reworks von songs aus finks letztjährigem meisterwerk -hard believer- sind inspiriert von fin greenalls neuer heimat berlin und sein immer wieder aufkeimendes interesse an elektronischen produktionen. der englische singer/songwriter war bereits in den 90er jahren ein gefragter club-dj und electronic-produzent, bevor er mit seinen bandkollegen guy whittaker und thim thornton mit der band fink durchstartete und die welt erobert. auf -horizontalism- gelingt fink ein wundervoller musikalischer nachschlag zum album -hard believer-

nice price deal !!! after a year of silence, the mosso imprint returns with a new record charged with perfectly crafted percussions, hypnotic basses and the unmistakable mosso rhythms. 2014 was a calm and introspective year for alejandro, who spent the most part of it writing a soon to see the light album and a series of singles for 2015. ! the catalogue 006 is a blunt call to your feet and basic impulses. it awakens your deepest nomad nature and puts you in movement for the next adventure. ! the a side opens the record and immediately pushes you into the water flow of the dobagan river from where it takes its name. meandering melodies carried by rolling waves, so vigorous that it feels impossible to escape, driving you until the very end of the stream. a sound journey thru north argentinian landscapes. ! formosa on the b side, pulls you against the tide in a slower but not less seductive manner. a laid-back pace of precisely tailored congas opens up the way to a drifting pad filled with tension, slowly swallowing you into an unknown territory. it feels exotic and unexplored, yet so undeniably pleasant.

now a regular member of the figure roster, young portugese talent lewis fautzi resurfaces again, fresh off the back of an inspired full-length debut for soma records. continuing with his own take on the darker, trippier end of the techno spectrum, we re treated to 4 new tracks, beautifully sequenced and alive with energy. from the depths of fautzi s studio, >signal of the light< emerges with its deep resonant acid tones and broken beats. setting the mood, fautzi then unlocks the monster inside with three club-designed cuts that rattle, fizz, gyrate and swell with precision intensity. a name to keep an eye on without a doubt, its no surprise this young man s vision of modern techno is finding its way into dj s sets far and wide.

i entered rapidly in the darkness, searching for a secure place, i cheated myself, i walked through paths travelled by those ones who get lost. i’ve dreamt many times the light in the distance always bumping into an illusion, the illusion in my mind. i ask to calm down to the screams in my ears, to cease to the voices in my mind. i look lost around me, nothing is in possession of my senses anymore. i fall, asleep.

every week end im going to concrete to listen the artists who are playing there. i m talking about music with them , and do the same with people sharing the dancefloor with me. i collect all these inputs and ideas, all this energy, to define what concrete music dna is. because of this variety of people, tastes, and point of views, the label can t be reduced to one and only genre. to make the music more easy to apprehend, we are splitting the label in 3 parts, 3 differents moods, or more precisely, 3 times of the day... concrete music 7am contains the kind of music you could easily listen in our club at dawn, when the light is blue and the sun starts to filter through the mi-closed shutters. minimalistic, freaky or mellow, but always deep. concrete 3pm is definetly turned to house music. 3pm is the time when smiles are on every face, when the same vibe, the same energy, is going through every stomach in the room, and the crowd becomes one same entity. concrete music 4am aims for the more techno and black side of the music we love. at 4am, fists are pumping the air, or heads are down and eyes closed. it s not about how hard or fast the kickdrum beats, but how thick the atmosphere is.

finefood records is very excited to release safka ep by two very promising swiss artists, marco da mata & ema. light and airy yet slave to an unrelenting dance floor beat, this original track, while being wild as a lion, is restrained by intricate melodies and tamed by haunting whispering voices.

it takes time for a series of seperate ideas to evolve into a fully concepteptualized album if it wants to have a place in history for ali and basti schwarz, better known as tiefschwarz. since 1998 the duo, as both djs and producers, have perfected the art of dominating the moments only experienced on a dance floor, deeply immersed in sound. their music is unique as it is creative. the double vinyl lp includes a download code.

its been three intense years now since the formerly tel aviv-based dj, producer and girl scout-leader magit cacoon hooked up with the upon.you family back in 2012 after relocating herself to berlin and making some serious waves on the cities - and of course the european - club circuit.

following his eps *remember* (music of deep intrigue, cloaked in an atmospheric fog - resident advisor) and *when the watchman saw the light*, gacha returns to apollo records with another contemplative and composed record, his debut album *send two sunsets*. the album spans many moods and textures - the sparse pads of opening/closing tracks *abandoned city* and *blue distance*, soothing static of *waterfall* and guitar work. limited edition translucent blue vinyl with download code included.

focusing on deep and raw vibes, strictly wax and classic beats, the - montee louis ep- has been directly imported from bellevue ii, libreville gabon, africa & it has been produced by the great bernard da smoove. mpc-filtered deep house with some darker & menacing rhythms, a1 - hudson budd- kicks off the a1 with a meaty 4/4 kick drum which slowly finds itself surrounded by ghostly pads and even more haunting synths. a2 - thrawbock- mutates into a more light hearted house jam for the heads, with its vocal infectious sample. b1 - strctly move - goes back into familiar, smooth deep house territories but still retains his magic touch, able to transform even the deepest of basslines into something both unusual and musical at the same time. b2 & b3 thrawbock 88 & strctly move 88 are the 90s hip-hop (!!!) versions of the same tracks above : insane !! first time we heard it we thought, hell yeah, the production is just terrific & indeed there s a timeless quality to the intricately programmed drum machine rhythms, the drifting chords, warm

illusion limited is the limited press sister label to illusion recordings. the label will shine light on new artists and sounds not currently represented on illusion. the first release kicks off with the highly talented manchester based artist seelie who delivers two slices of subtle, classy deep house. this ep has been a while in the making and shows a real development in seelie s sound from classic house to deep textured and hypnotic house. blm provides a huge remix on the a side stripping things back and letting the analogue bline and minimaistic drums create a heady, yet dancefloor track. dilated pupils provide a unqiue broken beat remix of the hypnotic desire on the b-side to round things off and kick off this label in style.

django django became known from their electric live performances full of energy, and went on to play memorable shows at festivals across the globe including as glastonbury and fuji rock. born under saturn is the work of a band fired up by confidence and experience and propelled way beyond their diy roots. it has all of the imagination of their debut self-titled album but splashed across a larger canvas.
