recorded in dears home studio and mixed at nicolas vernhes rare book room studios in brooklyn, beams evokes a day-lit dreamworld at once strange and familiar. while the albums dancefloor-ready tempos, major keys, and sun-warmed synths signal beams as the lighter, brighter response to its predecessor, closer inspection reveals a squirming mass of oddball details. dears latest productions on beams creak and groan like anxious organisms, with slivers of guitar, electric bass, and drum kit darting in and out among the synths and samples. beams is the latest transmission from one of pop musics most fascinating creative minds. tour dates coming in nov and dec after recently performing live in may this year in select key cities.

very special release!!! no represses when working on something, many other things happen which have an appeal of their own but do not fit together with what you have in mind, or where you are heading. this series of recordings is about the unexpected, things opposed to the plan. it is a slice of life, a snapshot that divides before and after. the more conscious you are of moments like this, the more often you will experience that something special is happening right now, in this second. and then it is gone for ever… unless you buy it on vinyl... already played by karotte (cocoon / great stuff)

after the trippy translations of the helium robot space trip called jarza, theo parrishs second and very welcomed visit to running back is all new material - almost. black mist in its extended version is just that: an extended take of the already released version on the rare-as-hens-teeth sketches pack. cut on 45, its a hard punch in the gut. techno-not-techno-house-not-house parrish power. previously unreleased and no less persuasive are pop off and wild out. while the first one centers around an endless piano and sucks you into the corny, but magic of repetition, the second one sounds like a theo parrish demo for dance mania after he came back from listening to lil louis at the bismark pavilion. mosh pit music. limited pressing in full printed sleeves.

gregor tresher and cocoon are linked by a long-time relationship which starts all the way back in 2004, when sven väth played gregors productions in heavy rotation. > about a good place< is a huge prime time floor monster as we like it.

french dj and producer, sebastien san, whos been releasing house records under one name or another for about a decade, has taken the next big step forward in his lauded career and started his own label. after releasing material through a venerable whos who of labels like planet e, poker flat, rush hour, we play house, and echocord, it only makes sense that sebastien take matters into his own hands and helm an operation independently. the imprint, cheekily called ab initio, will predominantly function as a vehicle for the man to put out his own records.

mark henning is back! back on cityfox! a classic acapella and marks distinctive sound collide, result-ing in a huge tune, sounding old school and fresh at the same time. not just the vocals are telling a story here, the synths and bassline add their part to complete the track. the second original trojan is the secret weapon and club bomb, the dark side of the release, because too much sunshine is never healthy. afrilounge take it a step deeper and its big string melody sounds as clean as and sparkles like the sunrise itself. the 1998 edit incorperates the rhythms and vibes of classic house and techno from the era when it all began. thick, groovy basslines and pulsing pads laid out over infectious percussion make this track an instant classic.

after blazing out of bushwick in 2011 with two buzzworthy singles, a reputation for turning live gigs into spontaneous diy parties (and vice versa), and a bio built to withstand the most cynical indie-blog cred-vetting – brooklyns friends will release their debut album manifest! on lucky number.

the byrds were one of the earliest groups who could combine the best of two worlds. they caught on to the energy of the british invasion and combined it with the lyricism & musical elements of the contemporary folk movement. along the way they pioneered psychedelic and country rock, always keeping things recognizable with their vocal harmonies accompanied by their jangly guitars. their 1965 debut mr. tambourine man hit the flower generation like a bombshell. >one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock<, it melds their lyrical prowess with their compelling guitar riffs, and was the blueprint for their future sound. a classic, now back on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!

t.c. matic were a belgian rock band formed in the early 80s by arno hintjens and jean marie aerts (who would go on to produce albums by urban dance squad and absynthe minded). they played a mix of new wave, blues, funk, hard rock, avant garde and even some french chansons. their eclectic mix and experimental approach to music would have a great impact on belgian bands such as deus and zita swoon. their eponymous album t.c. matic from 1981 has their biggest hit >o la la la< on it, a song that can still rock the dance floors today.
it is a good thing music on vinyl is making this album available on audiophile 180 gram vinyl again!

in hades no one can hear you scream. vast armies of centurions fight for acid dominion. marching music fills the air, music for the brave. sheets of chemical rain stain the night sky orange and red. cerberus belches out of the night like a shotgun blast to the face.

vader, the good old, wonderful death/thrash metal band who helped drive both genres into what they are today. this compilation of their two legendary demos is impressive and shows how old vader rocked out. unlike thrash bands that play the same riff over and over, these guys know how to perform.

square room heroes are back on claap with their debut ep. after releasing now is the time, back in september the heroes, george and george, have been busy working on new material.the two tracks featured on this ep comprise mainly of works from thessalonikis native george boronas.crashed detail with its enchanting string arrangement captivated label head gummihz who immediately rushed to provide a powerful and dramatic interpretation of the original.we are also very excited to have a remix from one of the grooviest house heads around, none other than ekkohaus. with a string of releases on labels like moon harbour, liebe detail, morris audio to name only a few, kostas tassopoulos has established a signature sound full of swing and shake!and his remix on crashed detail does exactly that. ekkohaus takes the stabs and chord arrangements to another level over his characteristic swinging beats. on the flip side pitch the feelings is rough n tough funk reminiscent of early 90s beefy sampling. srhs george boronas has chopped a funk groove up to the point of delirium in an effort to pay his dues to influences such as dj sneak and carl craig!

in 2011 it got a little quiet around the co-productions of fraenzen texas and ruede hagelstein aka the cheapers. but since the beginning of the new year the lights dont go out in their studio doing beats and sound. next to releases on areal records and bar25 the uy063 was born. title of the name giving a-side goes back on a quote from paris hilton who wants to tell with >amazeballs< how super cool she finds things. anyway the two artists made it real with their concise bassline which will make the people reliably squeak more than hobby djane hilton. on the b-side things turn a bit more severe: egyptian summer quotes with samples the arabic spring in africa and produces a revolutionary ground mood which has never been heard before. on b2 however there are the cheaperesque absurdities on the microfon like we know them. depositing skillfully their own vocals in the belly of a hungry electro monster.

part 1/3. the distance from ricardos last field trip >the au harem d archimede< (perl43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12 lp-set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. it is said that funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. the space between the notes here is so vast that funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. the rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. they evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.
