nebraska is someone who’s tracks we’ve been loving for a good few years now and finally managed to pin him down for a release here on delusions of grandeur. the uk producer is something of an enigma, and despite some amazing releases on rush hour still remains resolutely underground and seems to keep his releases to a minimum, focusing on keeping the quality high rather than flooding the market with average material. once again, he brings the real deal with three drum-heavy warehouse jams to nice-up the dancefloor. aw-right (mute version) sets the tone with a raw house groove that keeps things stripped to the bare minimum. a bouncing bassline and rattling percussion break help to define the track but it’s the dusty, dubby approach to the mix which really makes the track shine. next up we have warp and weft, a similar sounding track but by dropping the bpm’s nebraska has created a sublime low-slung, bumpy groove to really move to. flipping over we’re treated to the brilliant eighty eights which will have you nodding your head like the churchill’s dog before you can say ‘looped up piano and bass one bar groove repeated for over eight and a half minutes shouldn’t work should it?’

jonas rathsman marks the inaugural release on the newly established method white label, a club focused imprint from disclosure ’s method records that will deliver an on-going series of one-off releases available digitally and on a limited run of vinyl. “method white is going to be a platform to release some of our favourite music being created right now, that we feel represents the best of the best of underground electronic music today. we also want to take this further by djing alongside some of the acts who s music we release in our wild life events” - disclosure. jonas has gone a long way to prove his value to the dance music community, his releases on french express and remixes for the likes of london grammar, tensnake, duke dumont and sam smith have established rathsman as a driven and forward thinking producer and dj. with ‘wolfsbane’, jonas introduces the first installment on method white and like the flow er it’s named after, the track is just as deadly as it is beautiful. the track has already been a staple among sets from disclosure, huxley, duke dumont, justin martin and solomun among others with jonas perfecting a mix of dark and light while taking the impact of his drops to all new levels. with forthcoming dates including a six-date foray into north america in february, festival performances to come at bestival, lost village, hideout, parklife and the debut wild life festival in june,there are plenty of chances tocatch rathsman doing what he does best - working a crowd.

after two stunning 12 inch eps for kai alcés ndatl muziq imprint and london-based the love below, atlantas rising wunderkind stefan ringer dons new alias black suede for his debut release with cgi. switching it up from the bouncier, jazzier style that characterizes ringers work under his given name, black suede strips down the soul to a darker, harder groove, weaving dancefloor narratives that confront our innermost desires and fears. from the heavily swung stomp and vocal chops of *connect like 2 ways* and the skittering arpeggios and percolations of *stimulus (dead)*, to the dystopian booty-house masterpiece that is *7713gh* and the droning and cavernous dirge of *purgatory*, it is clear this is the work of an immensely talented artist who will continue to defy categorization and keep us wondering what the future will bring.

oddball space disco tracks compiled from library tracks composed between 1975 and 1978. big tip!! from the early 70s to the mid-80s, this self-taught musician composed about twenty albums of production and library music with generic cover art and titles (out of the way, magical ring, keys of the future, pulsations, more and more, etc.) that evoke interstellar travel. these experimental discs, made with love, humility and rudimentary means, had no ambition other than to accompany other peoples images

mojuba sub label a.r.t.less welcomes the munich techno duo trap10! after introducing and reintroducing prolific artists like stephen brown, jp enfant and fanon flowers its time for another addition to the a.r.t.less label roster! trap10 deliver three very convincing tracks for their debut ep showcasing the cornerstones of their sound. from straight peak-time action on the a-side to head-nodding & feet stomping funk infused techno with soul on the flip, dress to sweat!

last copies left , ltd blow out ... another artist, another font. bouncing techno business from manchester. a smiley analogue instrumental that in some bizarre way could be the illegitimate child of an early human league jam and our recent truffle club release, or something like that anyway

limited nice price blow out ... disconet was created as subscription program service, which professionally selected and mixed disco music for discotheque djs, mobile discos and radio stations. disconet is called as the granddaddy of all remix services and provided mixed/segued dj dance sets, not only to make the djs job a little bit easier, but to expose club goers to new music. the djs spinning at the height of the disco era were given access to a new creative tool - a different interpretation of current dance tunes to wow club goers. originally, the disconet records were to be issued on a monthly basis which were limited to 1000 - 1500 copies of each volume. the first disconet record was released in october 1977. disconet team at that time was: tom savarese, bobby dj guttadaro and kevin guilmet as well as mike wilkinson. tom, bobby and kevin were dj legends, who had already been awarded with the dj of the year title by billboard. these greatest hits volumes contain their finest work, the original licensed disco edits of all the floor fillers of the time that have been re issued for your listening pleasure. expect many more volumes in the near future.

daniel savio - the swede who coined the term “skwee” back in 2006 when the first odd-sounding electro-funked and tempo-twirling 7inches came about from finland and sweden. his 6-track record for laton consists of true-to-the-game skwee sounds and rhythms incl. oriental-like melodies that has been penetrating the genre for years. harmonic in melody, diverse in tempo from the originator. laton presents some of the proprietors of skwee & the phenomenon of this fennoscandian sound with three different 12inches and a lp compilation. “holtiton” was originally released in 2012, limited and is back on demand.

*i cant even afford bed linen, let alone a 909*. the unpretentious of jay donaldson is disarming in many different ways. we consider donaldson aka palms trax to be one of the most promising new artists to date. his sound situates him firmly along the chicago-detroit axis, cooking up pad-driven jams, off kilter drums and hazy synths that shift like a gentle musical tide. in 2013 he inaugurated the lobster theremin label, the london-based imprint that quickly became one of the most talked about record labels around. when not travelling the world for prime-time gigs donaldson holds a residency at the widely respected berlin community radio. it is with great pleasure that we welcome golden boy palms trax to dekmantel records.

following on from the previous 2 volumes of high quality disco heat dug from salsoul s legendary back catalog we have here the 3rd installment of selections that were favored by dj-demi god larry levan on the dancefloor of his seminal, game changing nyc nightclub the paradise garage. that s right, high quality disco, boogie, funk & more is the order of the day here with prime-time hits flawlessly rubbing shoulders with underground cuts in a way that mirrors levan s open mind & faultless ear for music. his elusive early 80 s remix of jimmy castor s perennial b-boy jam -it s just begun- sits comfortably alongside essential tracks like skyy s club classic -here s to you-, inner life s anthemic -moment of my life- & orlando riva sounds trippy -moonboots- among many others. this is an essential release for those who dig the disco sound & want to have all these incredible records in one place, or for newcomers who wish to explore the sounds & vibe of one of the greatest dj s of modern times & who want to get down to some of the tracks that have shaped modern day club culture. re-mastered, re-pressed & re-released for 2015 in full conjunction with salsoul records new york city.

currently causing quite a stir on the underground, the jerome hill remix of marshall jeffersons s trax classic lost in the groove is a complete re-interpretation, solid jacking (hard) house music using the original vocal that s cut loud onto the vinyl and worms inside your head and has been doing serious damage in the clubs and festivals last year. now with all licensing and red tape cleared away, it s set for release. dancer boom boom is actually a collaboration between acid legend adonis and sidney winters, with a mix down by house legend frankie knuckles. this sat on the b side of am a dog on trax records and is rare & obscure to say the least, but once the needle touches the groove you know it s a killer. massive kick drums and mysterious organ scales, this one is a mad mad tune ! produced in 1987 (and sounding like nothing else from that year) it s been given a very slight and very respectful re-arrangement by jerome hill, remastered and cut super loud. strictly limited and if the previous titles on the label are anything to go by, this one will sell out equally quick.

hessle audio are excited to announce the release of the self-titled debut album by pearson sound, aka label co-head david kennedy. characteristically minimalist in approach, its nine tracks use a handful of elements to craft mesmerising, self-contained worlds, alive with motion and near-subliminal detail: from vast and inky landscapes, to electrifying rhythm tracks, where layers of percussion and bass tumble over one another like rocks in a landslide.

with jozef k & winter sons may the lord have mercy on us all, lets play house dives deeper into the world of techno. the record includes two dubby originals--like falling angels” in addition to the titular track-as well as a pair of remixes from some of n. america’s finest: luke hess of detroit and basic soul unit of toronto. that is really all you need to know! the 30-minute-long journey is all at once calming and energizing, hypnotizing and exhilarating, accessible and heady. it is also spooky and chilling, thanks to the slow boil build of each cut on its own and the 12 inch as a whole. a truly rewarding listening experience suitable for at-home and club play alike by two of manchesters top-shelf talents.

this four track ep kicks off with cladistic mutation , a sparse underwater soundtrack with only the gentlest suggestion of rhythm, lots of reverb and tiny little details that float by like micro-bacterial debris. m2 is a more beat driven dub track but is still way below the surface: the kicks are smooth and hunched over, the chords are smeared out in all directions and the atmosphere is lo-fi and grainy. on the flip, grain gets even more energetic, with firm techno kick drums setting a stern tempo as all sorts of aqueous details and spacious effec ts peppe r the groove. there s a heavenly nature to the pads and an industrial texture to the percussion that makes this a cerebral but physical affair from start to finish. lastly, neurowaves closes things down in blissfully dubbed out and horizontal fashion, with large sweeping pads, tweaked filters and evocative little details all placing you firmly under water.
