claremont 56 goes back to its balearic roots with a 12 inch that fills you with wonderful summertime feelings. >mudd & pollard - vincent< is a lush rhodes driven groover with a bass that sounds like its been played bernard edwards of chic fame. on top of that is a multitude of analog synths that bathe this beauty in warmth & loveliness. mark e continues his rise to the king of all things midtempo with one of his best remixes to date. what a great way to kick off the summer...

the second release of >vibes - new&rare music< brings rick wilhites long time friend and fellow 3chairs producer theo parrish to the table. theo gives us an adventurous ride like only theo can. starting out on a blues tip, this track morphs into a string laden jazz affair without missing a beat. epic stuff!
on the b-side its a one-way ride to chicago with ricardo miranda blasting on the car stereo. this relative newcomer, who has recorded for hour house is your rush and vega records, really outdoes himself on >urbanism<. as we cruise into town, heading straight to lakeshore drive, this track kicks off so soulful, yet so raw! it reminds us of the best days of prescription underground, on which this easily could have been released. addictive.

the first teaser from the long awaited second album of phil mison (aka cantoma) comes in a true idjut boy haze. reminiscent of early u star at its best, their remix of >north shore< is one of the most locked-in grooves we have heard for some time. the vocal version sucks you into an almost trance like fashion and is purely made for the late night hours on a sweaty dancefloor. hearing this on a big system is truly a spiritual experience. the instrumental ties down an amazing second 12 inch for leng and gives us further excitement on the release of the second cantoma album. simply terrific.

ultraphat prime time techno, sounds like a harder brother of pan-pots >confronted< on mobilee 054!! just a killer

royal oak with futuristic house sounds from one of hollands longest running house producers gerd. some gorgeous warm rhodes driven tracks with interstellar melodies. two tracks that sound like a stream of fresh air. friendly fire has an incredible drive with its warm rhodes chords and a deep sub bass. unique track that gives the traditional house ingredients a twist. vibration on the flip (which is actually a studio jam with the friendly fire parts) goes in a slightly slower house pace and is combines bleepy melodies with a deep powerful drive that reveals its nature once played out loud.

despite dfas disco pedigree, the juan macleans dj-kicks mix is a love letter to straight-up house music. its a driving, sweaty session thick with pumping keys, chunky drum-machine beats and chopped vocals, and it cuts confidently through the sweetest hour of dancefloor communion with filters billowing like sails. recorded specifically for the mix, the juan macleans new single >feel so good< is a perfect distillation of that vibe.

the amazing situation return with two sides of love – gangster love and sutra love. the gangster side is an amazing clash of a skit from american gangster (heavily inspired by the eddy grant produced >funky like a train< by the equals) with donna summer. the resulting blend is as inspiring and surprising as it is unlikely. but with their usual disregard for boundaries and rules, situation seamlessly melt the two original cuts together into a perfect slice of discoid boogie that absolutely sets fire to the dancefloor. on the flip side, love of a deeper and groovier type oozes from sutra love. its a case of yet more top class, bass led disco action thats firmly focussed on maximum dancefloor reaction. this is without a doubt one of the best situations ever! and with heavy releases on disco deviance and their own imprint already under the belt that really is saying something.

minority boss hector moralez teams up with life long friend oscar miranda for a belting 3 track ep on minority. >last of an era< has a killer bassline and a hypnotic vocal that will keep the floor moving all night. >for realz< is on the deeper tip and the boys uses spacey keys & trippy vocals to devastating effect. last but not least is >about time<. this sounds like derrick carter style beats meets a mood ii swing style bass line, nuff said. boom!

some ideas are just so good, they deserve a second chapter. like christian prommers drumlesson vol. 1 album, released in 2008, which featured instrumental jazz versions of legendary techno and electronic tracks including derrick mays strings of life, kraftwerks trans europe express and josh winks higher state of consciousness. critics and audiences were united in their positive reactions to the album.
jazz meets house, electronic meets organic, drumlesson zwei is a testament to musics limitless potential for inspiration and reinvention. drumlesson zwei is not about narrow labels, fads or genres. great music lasts forever.

night slugs are extremely proud to announce a new addition to their roster in the form of the one and only lil silva! the young mastermind behind potent uk funky anthems such as seasons, funky flex, different and the funky pulse, lil silvas house-meets-grime style has become iconic of the ukf scene. his tracks are cornerstones for djs like marcus nasty, who describes them as having the unique ability to consistently bun down raves. with that in mind lil silvas addition to the night slugs family makes perfect sense. his contribution to their limited vinyl-only white label series is a taster of what can be expected from his official ep for ns, dropping later this year. in the mean time feast yourself on the ultra-upfront a million, featuring carnival synths, glass breaks and snare destruction in the typical silva fashion. on the flip, silva pays tribute to house pioneer kenny dope in the form of the ultra-stripped down bassline-driven banger no hooks. bruckout time!

zt and his kiwi buddy get a bit rowdy this time, with a heavy inspration from the early virus sound of 1998-99. >shallow grave< sneaks in a kicks you in the gut and pounds you like giant haystacks! as the vocal sample states: >i roam when its dark, and take you to some secret place and bury you< indeed! mr.t decided to keep it in the family, irish-style, for the 1st two 12 inches. so after old cohort calibre provided the 1st flip side, next up is zeros original colaborative partner beta 2. its now 10 years since the pair debuted on 4 heros reinforced, and a long awaited return to the game from beta 2 looms large! cabin phever is classic blue note buisness, for those that know! beta tickles the ivories with aplom, plucks the double bass and chops a break in a style remeniscent of that ginger ninja, rupert parkes (aka photek).. two words: film-noir.
heavy support from the likes of marcus intalex, jubei, ulterior motive, bailey, loxy, ed rush etc.

gavin herlihy is back on cadenza, and he comes bearing what can only be seen as an instant anthem. remember those foam toys, the ones where you just had to add water, and theyd swell into wonderful, unexpected shapes? back burner is a lot like that, but no water needed: just a needle in the groove, or a laser across the aluminum, is enough to send this sucker ballooning to enormous proportions.

nme says: >its what >kid a< would sound like if it was released by kompakt and had softened its edges !! vinyl album contains the cd as a gift

>afro rock vol. 1< is one of the most important compilations of heavy original 70s afro funk and soul to be released in recent years. originally surfacing on duncan brookers indie kona label in early 2001, the album single-handedly kick-started the thirst among jazz, funk and soul fans and diggers to rediscover lost music from africa made during the 60s and 70s from a time when many countries were gaining independence and celebrating a pan-african identity within their music. the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional ?world music? market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland.

die erstver®ffentlichung der langenj?hrigen losen zusammenarbeit zwischen dem gitaristen und s?nger von sonic youth lee ranaldo, jim o rourke und dem deutschen experimentalk?nstler christoph heemann.
listen to the words fall apart as christoph heemann deconstructs lee renaldos recitation of >bloomington indiana?<, then flip the disc and hear heemann and jim o rourke work a little bit more space into the mix with >autumn<. like the space cowboys they are, streamline rides again!

some seriously hot disco influenced house tracks by portugese producer lump who joined the amplified orchestra alliance. maybe not one of the labels that has been one everyones tongue and in the hype press due the no promotion, no-nonsens policy. but the real connaisseurs most definitely have it in check! 3 disco-induced house and deep house tunes with a gospel-blues twist. irresistable grooves again, and this is gonna be sold out quickly just like all the previous aos. dont miss!

already receiving support from the likes of richie hawtin, adam beyer, mark broom, and dustin zahn, this follow up to psyks debut ep (on minus no less) shows the heavier, peaktime side of his productions.>cubes< is a massive and hypnotic show stopper which will easily find its place in the biggest festivals and clubs this summer. >clockwise<, like decimals >freekout< ep, is a massive 909 workout similar to the plastikman material of the past. this is without a doubt, one of the biggest releases for the label so far! future classic!

a welcome return for jaime read who has been releasing quality deep house and techno since the mid 90s via his own push ii shove label, tenth planet, fragmented and ugly music. here he drops a timeless ep of house and techno rythims to great effect. messages from outer space is a deep slice of timeless 808 driven electro soul. name no names moves along with spaced out keys and a sax line reverbed to great effect. no relief has that old school chicago house sound with piano stabs and a lush string breakdown. digital acid wraps it up sounding much like the title suggests with deep 808 bass and floor smashing snares

including riva starr feat. noze >i was drunk<, mstrkrft feat. nore & isis >bounce (a-trak remix)<, lindstrøm & christabelle >lovesick<, etienne de crecy feat. camille >someone like you< and the supermen lovers >starlight<.

gui borrato / kid gloves / compuphonic remixes
launching into summer with the swirl of a bundle pakistani kites come two new 12” releases of arsenal - first up is estupendo, that sounds like a pastel tinted rival to mgmt’s electric feel.

andromeda – just like the galaxy with the same name - is brilliant! expansive and excursive, the suspenseful groove on its own is >big room< worthy, but its the sci-fi tune that haunts across the synths that takes this tune from x files to x factor. while on the flip you will discover the #1 remix duo - 2000 and one and dj madskillz - with a punchy, in-your-face stellar remix.

its back, its great, its acid, its deep, its house, its time! after a little break the label its is back with a fine release of deep acid house by the dj artist rvds. 3 tracks (two with british vocals) full of soul, acid and love, inspired by the detroit classics like mr.fingers, omar s, etc.. all house heads are in for a treat. listen, dance or take it as a dj tool? - the tracks goes into one another - in this time you can dance, talk to people, go to the toilet, take what you need and go back to the turntables!

bron, a mysterious giant from the plains of canadas sub arctic region, comes out of nowhere with danksouls second release great white north. brons debut record is a truly northern take on the infectious grooves of micro house. the title track, great white north, is a jacked-up home grown classic that has been garnering a cult-like following in canada since its inception a couple years back. french avant-garde house producer le k provides a heavy handed remix, which will surely occupy a permanent space in record boxes and play lists across the globe. bron polishes off this ep with the bouncy beats and bass of splash back, followed by the soulful space hop of postcards from the prairies

secouer is a record label with an international distributor, and born like the home of the orchestral with old groove and house secouer records born in 2009 behind the research work of the most diverse currents of music. the need to explore this genre arises from the idea to give a dress at the electronic scene. jazz becomes the means for a reconfirmation of the world of house most virtuous, not forgetting to accommodate the new sounds of the international scene. so the founders decide to explore this genre that combines dance with a fine ear for good sound not generalizable. only the bpm jazz or funky or orchestral can make the difference, which can give to house a dynamic and more human

first on decks.de !! dilek records is presenting its seventh reference and introduces two talented and highly qualified artists coming straight from the province of cordoba in argentina, we are talking about martin huergo and andres oddone. this multi ethnic release also includes a remix of the well known chilean artist pier bucci, who participated in this new work full of intense feelings, like everything we do at dilek. martin and andres are producing together since many years, and they seem to have found this special something that makes them choose the perfect balance for their productions. its a mix of mystical sounds all coming from foreign cultures and different influences. every one of these tracks have to be listened carefully because these sounds are definitely not more of the same stuff, they have that certain something, they are classy and yet contending.

dj tasaka is the busiest, known as mix master of japanese techno scene, he mixes techno, minimal, house, disco, electro any records, any genre he feels like.

karizma returns with a heavy remix package featuring versions by osunlade, atjazz, deep order and karizma himself. yoruba soul legend osunlade has transformed good morning (featuring vocal diva monique bingham) into a deliciously jazzy soul extravaganza. like diving into a melted chocolate swimming pool… next up, karizma takes his own track and gives it his distinctive club floor treatment turning this soulful song into a dancefloor beast as only he know how. then flip to the b-side for a truly astonishing tech house remix of groove a k ordingly from the one and only atjazz, causing absolute dancefloor mayhem. add to that a dub from the mysterious deep order, (from the atjazz lable) who turns in an electronic tech dub to rock the spot

exium brings new solid evidence that techno is not dead, although some doomsayers take a while preaching an end, techno is alive: and a lot! and evolving thanks to proposals like this!

vinyl only release, limited to 500 handnumbered copies!... anlaog raw tech to house tracks always a pleasure to listen .. thats underground live recorded tracks this is a very special release as all the process of manufacturing/mastering/cut of the vinyl has never passed through computer ! like the early years...vinyl was cut directly from the source: so you have a 100% full analogue sound !!!

new project of super duo the revenge and harri ( resident of glasgows legendary sub club ).one cut in a early 80s boogie/ hip hop style while the flip harks back to the early 70ies psychedelic soul craze with a stomping soul disco cut a bit like the revenges planets on jisco music a while back ( but still going strong!). you cant go wrong with this

side a offers 2 tracks d-vote is the first. sort of downtempo, takes you by surprise and back an odd 20 years with this brilliant version on my mind is a little more upbeat. still attractively retro. side b the first track no more reminiscing of those vocal experiments in between rnb and house common to ny, london and detroit some years ago. it plays like a revival floor-filler. the second track on side b is got to have, more in the house realm, with heavier bass lines yet quite soulful by vocals and lyrics

serge santiago returns to his own arcobaleno label with two hot new edits… in serges own words…
a. serenissma: >i ve heard a couple of mixes of the original that i really liked but felt i could never play them out, it needed a bit more of an edge so i set about doing this version, really hope like it now it finally on vinyl<
b. magical body: >as nearly all italo records go, the original had a chord change that i just couldnt deal with, i took this out, eqd the bass, beefed the kick a touch and re-played the top line, it doesnt sound too bad to tell you the truth<.

matt flores recent/upcoming releases on labels like compost black, combination, third ear and of course farside put him in the focus of the worldwide house circle. actually >tempted< was produced by matt with the concept of an album in mind. even more glad that he has been assured by the idea that the track has to be out on 12inch vinyl. heartfelt, kickin and deep, >tempted< might be one of the greatest tunes that ever saw the light out of matt flores metaworld universe. get caught by the beautiful harmonies and the demanding groove

we kick the package off we have a remix from the mighty radio slave, and he certainly doesnt disappoint. with live keys from tom gandey of cagedbaby fame, he creates an awesome deep house rework, beautiful keys, rising synths and deep piano chords all make it feel like summer is already here.  jesse rose returns turns in a deep and dirty jackin house version, with bumpin bass, heavy swung drums and pitched down vocals, this is sure to tear after hours floors apart.  the rebirth of rising has started, and we cant wait to show what we have coming for you next

nice price deal !!! this second release from glasgows fortified recordings is a departure in sound from their first acclaimed ep by dundees loops haunt, but all the same in attitude. iranian born, texas residing garagesmith vvv uses his late night musical tests to forge and perfect his sonic output, and deploys a range of techniques not normally found in the often formulaic world of garage and dubstep. this patchwork quilt of laced beats, field recordings and intensive sample editing has made manifest a four track ep that simultaneously references the work steve gurley, todd edwards, carl craig, my bloody valentine, the cocteau twins and roy davis junior via the bastardised strains of 2-step and house practiced by the likes of ramadanman, untold and joy orbison, peppered with that magic elusive el_b swing that only the greats are able to achieve. at the same time familiar yet different (how many times have you heard that?), the four tracks on projects kick with the intensity of the best club music and invokes the cosmic spirit of classic motor city techno with an uplifting and deep soulful vibe that reveals layers of orchestrated natural sound upon repeated listens. in other words, its sexy as fuck. slated for an official release early march , one can only assume this limited 12inch will fly off the shelf much like fortified s inaugural release did

here comes the second release on the pattern repeat label. pattern repeat is a new music-project and label by kenneth christiansen, echocord & echocord colour label boss, and his partner dennis bøg aka resoe, running the baum label.the pattern repeat label will only contains productions from kenneth & dennis, and the music is focused on the modern berlin techno sound today, dubstep and dub-techno. pattern repeat will also release records on other labels, so far the first one is out on echocord colour. kenneth and dennis met eachother 8 years ago when they worked together in at that time famous copenhagen-record-shop >loud<, which closed 5 years ago. at that time dennis was more into broken beat, hip-hop and deep house. kenneth was already running the label echocord, and soon dennis started his label baum. the label baum is also like echocord, releasing dub-techno, and dennis started to release his own material as resoe, and builded up his studio the years after. 1 year ago we decided to try to do a new project together, working together in the studio, and now pattern repeat is born.

with a well-earned remix refill, cocoon recordings is taking a bow before the belfast-born dj and producer phil kieran, whose >shh< album from last year, like rarely another album release, was able to proof how fresh, futuristic and complex modern techno can sound.

the one-two kick drum beat that starts “in the dark of the night” functions as a bit of a tease. instead of merely establishing the languid pace of the track, it has the power of suggestion, and its stark nakedness raises the question of what will happen after the music fully launches. a few seconds later, a punch-drunk, flanging keyboard is the first clue that the listener is in for an off-kilter ride, the sauntering bassline that next appears adds a springy, funk bounce. but it’s the tripped-out, multi-tracked vocals of fernando miranda rios, aka michoacan, the producer behind this slow reveal, that give the song its peculiar, space-yvibe. it’s like david byrne with funk aspirations and a vaguely cosmic feel. the b-side remix, courtesy of italy’s clap rules, feels like more of a re-build. the song has been taken apart and put back together with brand new parts. instead of more relaxed, dazed funk at the core, it’s a glittery, disco-ball splattered track with glossy keys all around.

herman is probably the coolest artist name we have heard in a while.. so unsexy and very unlikely that its not someone s real name... but stuart li must have had a laugh about it with some friends and some beers! stuart li aka basic soul unit aka herman starts this project for his production that one would not directly link to his chicago house rooted basic soul unit releases. herman delivers two hot tracks with dubstep fueled beats, sub bass driven grooves with detroit influenced sounds that one could expect on a label such as hessle audio. title track prototype is total killer which goes into the direction of 2562 and martyn. april skies sound like aril brikha meets 2562 meets basic soul unit. hot release!!

we imagine chaotic crowds on the dancefloor dancing in the dark , ready to fight for a party! music for the russian invasion just as we like it!

peter b and daniel gloomy present cardiac arrest sales pack. feat. the labels first 3 releases in a nice price triple vinyl pack. feat. a lot of hard techno finest producers like viper xxl, switchblade, matt m maddox, weichentechnikk, greg notill and many more

the next release on ec records is one of rotterdam based dj taras van de voorde. taras, a lifetime ec records fan, took his chance and made a real nice package of tracks for michel. the first one is sometimes, a great melodic tech-house track with quite a special flavour. dutch talented dj and producer boris ross made a great remix of sometimes called the boris ross up dub. the third track on this ep called >1998< and is a great tech-house killer made for a big public! dont look weird if djs like john digweed and adam beyer both will play this track!

our krauty fellows kreidler have just finished their european tour and really got their kicks playing live.with the release of >impressions dafrique< - the first remix 12 inch from their mind-expanding new album mosaik 2014 - they will once again raise the awareness of their audience for airy soundscapes far beyond the space-time continuum. side a features the fantastic new extended long 12 inch edit of >impressions dafrique<. here you can dance to percussive sci-fi music played live to get some outer-space satisfaction. the flip-side features a unit 4 (body dub, clone records) rework. unit 4s >oro borum bonga baum chant remix< is made for a disco party where not only mirror balls turn crazy. for those who like space, kraut, disco and body dub, its a must.

inally matt is going to unleash his much anticipated follow-up release on weave musics sister label. produced in the mood of this years arctic winter with tons of snow all over the country, it seems like matt had transformed that special vibe of cold dark days n nights into the noise making machines of his studio.

like his taste of music marcel knopf is stylistically diversified when it comes to the selection of remixers for his debut album. gregor tresher, luna city express and jeff samuel are definitely away on different fields.

with a clever use of mallets and percussive elements, the track unexpectedly shifts pitch throughout, while the quirky samples and micro-edits drive the grooves throughout the duration of this auditory masterpiece. black jack is a nutty little number with a perfect square like rhythm pattern which creates a marching like swing.
