last year city fly unearthed a raw diamond in the form of russias alexander lay-far aka lay-far with his perfect world track being the choice cut on city flys visions volume 2 ep - its dream-like harmony, yearning female tones and warm bass culminating in a transcendent production.

fresh from impressing with the pulsating techno of boris werner and the fuzzy live house jams of san proper, tom tragos voyage direct label turns to a man who needs little introduction: dutch legend and man of many pseudonyms danny wolfers.
best known under his legowelt alias, wolfers has spent the last two decades flitting between strobe light acid house, 808 electro, fluorescent techno and shimmering space disco. throughout, he has kept his productions pleasingly analogue-heavy, making great use of classic drum machines and vintage synthesizers. while his music may be steeped in the past, wolfers productions always sound like the future.

truesoul records are proud to announce the release of *let your soul outside*, the debut album from reset robot in april 2014. behind the reset robot project is dave robertson, a producer who has released standout singles on labels like dogmatik, intacto and adam beyers truesoul imprint over the past 5 years. now he steps up with his debut album, the stunning *let your soul outside*.

nice price deal !!! moonlite bunny ranch is a saxophone player and two dj/producers, born from the spine of the dark jazz ensemble macelleria mobile di mezzanotte: freeform techno with improvised patterns and no real clue where the music would go, like a rough jazz band playing slow techno. their first effort, downer, is a 3-track ep combining analog synthetizers, digital effects, saxophone, hang drum. mixed at the subsound studio in rome by luciano lamanna and mastered by andrea merlini, downer gets inspiration from the illegal brothels in no mans land in the south of the united states, the jazz funerals in new orleans, the goat and the old lady.

treat your dj right releases seidensticker & salour from hamburg. some of you might know jakob seidensticker as one of the masterminds from wareika whose productions have been released on labels such as perlon and visionquest amongst others. after years of playing as a dj-team in hamburgs famous clubs like ego, waagenbau, purgatory etc, they are eager to focus on their own house-influenced production style.

catalognumber 23 – what else is to say? while we are feeling the spirit of william s. burroughs blessing this very vinyl-enigma, &me went particularly mysterious ways to transcend the category - dance track - for this one. the meditation through bass had been the major discipline of some of his latest cuts, but what you will find on this a-side, one could certainly call the perfection of somnambulistic peaktime-fever. the way he is kneading the lower frequencies, how he is channeling the expansion and decay of bass must inevitably lead to some aroused moaning. good vocal-selection, for that matter! then there are those tension building synths and a staccato-frenzy in the break that might be the ultimate ecstasy-trigger of the season. * locust* on b comes in with some smoothly looped e-guitar-coolness, adding whispering hi-hats and a comparatively rich percussive architecture. but then again: rolling bass barrels like a signature and a defence breaking build up thats ensued by liberating pressure compensation in mighty breaks. two demonstrations of understated and sophisticated peaktime-emphasis, so to say. or differently put: a flawless double-a-side.

last year saw 124 recordings expand with the launch of new sub-label 124black, aimed as a dedicated vinyl only outlet for -promoting a darker, harder sound firmly rooted in the underground-. much like the debut transmission, this second 124black release is a various artists affair and features productions from federico curatolo, ave astra, jacob b and john devecchis. upcoming italian producer curatolo commences proceedings with the no-nonsense peak time burner -house music- which is matched by ave astra s subsequent contribution -all i wanna say,- a track that s fairly dominated by the low-end sub bass. jacob b maintains his 100% appearance record for 124black with the hotly tipped -murk- whilst devecchis ends matters on a deeper note with -this is-.

cyber dance records are back on the attack with a fresh release from the legendary perseus traxx aka nigel rogers, a 4-track ep entitled after recent scientific developments an apparent horizon . its a firmly machine-based and totally jam-packed affair reflecting diverse sounds from the uk s own rich history of electronic dance music, with elements from the classic warp -deep space sound- prominent as much as the more usual 303-jacking acid house grooves in the vein of baby ford or bam bam. lost dreams opens the record with a floaty dream-like hipnosis from the depths of space and sets the tone in magnificent style, followed up on side a with the irresistible roll of reverse the trend that takes the groove harder, further and deeperstraight off to the beyond. dark strings reminiscent of old lfo, b-12 or autechre vinyls from the early 90s propel us into side b on darkness stalks , and then we re transported onto the concluding track on the ep, distances , an epic closer that opens with beautiful reverbed claps and acid squelches before diving into an inky black void of timeless space-travelling and slow-building tension that could surely echo hauntingly around any m25 rave in the depths of a late 1980s night.

nick lapien has been sharpening his music sound a number of monikers, metropolis, nepal and his own name. on labels like other heights and sequencias the dutch man has moulded smoke stained chicago, textured techno and drifting ambient

there is a common thread that runs through all of brandt brauer fricks music. it is this: interesting things happen at the interface of machine and hand-made music. the berlin trios 2010 album, *you make me real*, fused techno and classical. the 2011 follow-up, *mr machine*, saw them go the whole classical-meets-club hog with a ten-piece ensemble playing dance music live. then, earlier this year, came *miami*, a darker, more song-based collection exploring the same man-machine ideas. the berlin trios instalment of the dj-kicks series does the same thing with a mix.
the double vinyl comes in gatefold sleeve and includes the dj kicks mix-cd.

house music with 90s spirit like robin s

the constant state label launches in style with a record from ian blevins & phil moodys al gobi outfit, who had something of a breakthrough 2013 with releases for disco bloodbath, rothmans, culprit la and audio parallax. while the original mix of a cup of tea is dark and unsettled - beautifully balanced bass notes and piano cutting through heavy, storm-pregnant air, cottams accompanying remix is the distillation of a second wind. his tribal, twisted, acidic treatment of this 3am concrete bunker anthem never overwhelms the piano refrain, instead giving it a new life, like the ghost of a party suddenly bequeathed fresh purpose as tired legs find boundless energy.

now ovo, the eagerly awaited new luca bacchetti ep, is here! with this work on his endless imprint, luca seems to be delineating a new soundscape, maintaining the psychedelia he introduced into his productions a few years ago, but now more synthetic and in some ways even minimalist. in ovo we can find a brace of dancefloor tracks, no gravity and the space between us, that maintain and harness luca s emotional and intricate atmospheres whilst also employing powerful sounds and elements that embrace the movement of the body. mature, emotional techno, where ethereal dream-like atmospheres find a singular expression and their own distinct identity. it is no coincidence that the whole ep was recorded entirely high up in the tosco emiliano apennines: a place where, for luca, nature is the element that most influences this new aural pathway. as he himself states: “it’s this contrast between isolated lands and the chaos of the big city that produces this state of being: a new dialogue. they are two worlds which overlap within my soul: when i’m in new york i think of these mountains and when i’m here i think of the bustle of tour life .. but it’s up here that i find the seed, in this case ovo.”

we have reached number 10. time to celebrate with a remix edition of the deep88 & melchior sultana project. awaiting the album release (later 2014) we asked 2 of our heroes if they would like to make a remix for us. with a lot a lot (and a lot) of happiness we announce the nightwave remix by ben >cozmo d< cenac, formerly known as dream 2 science (and sha-lor and newcleus and the cellar boyz), that made us a wonderful space trip with his dreamy synths and stylish drums. the other remix is >yo house< treated by the excellent australian producer andras fox, that converts the song into a super classy deep house one with a lot of hiss and love. the man behind > running late> really made some magic over the melody of yo house, as usual with the aim of analogue warm-tape-feel and his crazy skills.

>> oh it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. the trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silverflamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder. oh, it was wonder of wonders. and then, a bird of like rarest spun heavenmetal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now, came the violin solo above all the other strings, and those strings were like a cage of silk round my bed. then flute and oboe bored, like worms of like platinum, into the thick thick toffee gold and silver. i was in such bliss, my brothers.<

for those who have been following macadam mambo from the beginning, you must have noticed that eclecticism and craziness are definitively the main lines of the label. well, this new release will prove it once again. we are honoured and have great pleasure of welcoming two new artists to the label. first we have the head of nation himself, hailing from chicago: traxx! and on top of that npnk , his agent, best friend and head of we like booking. a real family affair… they have prepared 4 stunning edits especially for us. exploring industrial, minimal synth pop, ebm, post punk. these are four raw, loud, insane, absolute must-haves. cut short: just sik!

late night running is a rotterdam-based multidisciplinary initiative that is created out of sympathy for those who are willing to run hard for their beliefs. when one is sucked through the barriers of time, where days become nights and vice versa, we like to speak of late night running. the first physical effort out of the lnr camp comes in the form of a nicely designed 12inch by the likes of 25 places. this duo has its roots in the working class city of rotterdam, but also lived elsewhere for some time, working long nights in the advert industry. theyve been based in berlin for several months in 2012, where the x9 ideas were first create

maeve label honcho the drifter and co-emperor of the permanent vacation kingdom, benjamin fröhlich, team up for some rascal business. always quick to pull the sling shot out of the back pocket and hit you right between the eyes, the original version of -waterville- is full of hazy melodies, washed out bells and quirky arpeggios backed up with concrete drums for some extended dancefloor meditation. while the high tide mix wraps things up a bit with some more prominent drums and a little extra spice on the bassline. mysterious uk producer a sagittariun sculptures out of the original a breakbeat house track, that sounds like a hidden treasure from this short but influential period.

more like encouraging advice than a description of our sound. a home for music of the night. music to make you wonky and stay out longer than you planned. dilo is from argentina but makes music in berlin. hes been flying under the radar but not for long. this track is slinky and tripped out and we love it. we also love mathias meyers music and alongside patlac theyve been creating some magic as of late. strings and tight beats make for a more emotional journey which we also like.

anchored between the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, when industrial music courted funk, when electro(nica) made a shy appearance and house was visceral and plaintive, also inspired by current r&b productions and futuristic hip-hop, tropics of love is a slow tempo record that shines like a steel sun and rings diabolically romantic.
the double 12 inch lp comes in gatefold sleeve with cd-copy of the full album included.
