hypeltd are happy to introduce another new talent in the form of j. alvarez. it is a name you wont know yet, but the man behind it – seattle based producer chris 214 – has already made a name for himself with some rude electro, techno and even ghetto tech releases on in-the-know labels like frustrated funk (a subsidiary of clone) harbour city sorrow (and again) and others. now, though, he is on a house tip, and it is for that reason that he has assumed this new moniker…
continuing in the tradition of offering up sounds a little less accessible than its older hypercolour brother, hypeltd seems to have once again unearthed a producer more than worthy of popular attention.

kormacs latest release for scribble records sees him teaming up with old pal mc little tee for the ska driven >superhero< while the guitar and string laden >another screen< is a collaboration with literary great irvine welsh (trainspotting, the acid house, skagboys). >another screen< came about when kormac turned up on welshs edinburgh doorstep with the track written especially for him. rather than take out a restraining order the generous author took him in, fed and watered him and sent him home with the track complete. the result is a double header of contrasting styles that prove kormac is on a creative high.

kyle geiger brings you his third installment on his imprint cubera in a quest to bridge some crucial gaps between house and techno constituents. this time, taking it a little deeper with the use of vocal work from vocalist stefanie jansen for the title track scream, weaving her voice in and out of a strong synth and percussion work out. in the second mix of the a-side, truncate lends his tough, stripped style for his remix of >scream<, providing a welcome contrast to the original. on the other side, >underneath< adjusts the eps sweat dial to 11 with its shit-losing, raw synth hook. the fact that this track even has a sweat dial that goes up to 11 should communicate something really special. the final track step brings more of an stabby, yet scaled back afterhours vibe to round things out, while still carrying enough critical mass to make things a little messy.

when discussing producers with consistently good outputs, few compare with jan driver. just pulled out his debutalbum amatilda last year, jan driver again dished out an extra tasty and promising morsel: this one-shot named peaker comes with a gigantic brightness in sound and is not less than a slammy hand-clapping celebratory basher. the and heavy subbasses are literally all over the place. jan driver signatures for sure! it has the exact fair amount of tension a track needs to sound excited and to infect your eardrum. on the flip side, action flowers rework pad the track with a golden summerdress, adding a magnificent arpeggio sequence so perfectly complementary to the original sound, its shimmering all the way to the solar system.peaker is proven to be one of our favourite summer releases in 2012 thus far, with its take on a slower beat and more of a late night come-down vibe apparent. you know that feeling when you hear that perfect song for the first time? well, it just happened. twice. weve got goosebumps. were feverish. were sweaty.time for the summer to come. now we impatiently wait. were just a little excited, you know?

romes egisto sopor has been making little waves with his releases for quite a while now. since we have known him he has released a cdr album on legowelts strange life records and put a cassette out on the much admired 100% silk label, both under the name polysick. as theawayteam he has released a dvd >relax & sleep< and a cd >star kinship< on japanese label moamoo. he is also one half of the low key video unit aavv, whose work has graced many of the important releases of new lofi electronic movement.
well, here is his first album proper >digital native<, 15 tracks of glowing, nocturnal, analogue grace that hark back to acid house and early techno, but with a mood and intent that seems to be designed for watching images dance on closed eyelids. it is no surprise that his work as a video artist resonates so strongly with the music he makes.

the boys are back ... back with another banger too. definitely the best little label doing the rounds around these parts of late. viennas luv shack records continue with the good groove venturing once again into suspenseful house and disco.

every now and then a track rises above the rest and gets mythical status, especially with those that dont have it. you may be wondering how not having a track is still possible in nowadays digital era? well, the reason is called vinyl only.maxim lanys cuncambias is such a track, and lany recordings is very happy to announce that it will re-release cuncambias on a limited one-sided vinyl release (250 copies) and as a much-requested digital release as well.courtesy of we play house recordings, making it the only wph release ever to be licensed for a vinyl re-release on another label. as a little bonus we play house recordings head honcho red d made an extra track to go along with cuncambias, dedicating it to his long-time friend and lany recordings label boss maxim lany, aptly titled max d.

after debuting with an albums worth of experimental, ambient electronic explorations from the hugely talented nyc based jason letkiewicz under his alan hurst moniker, the emotional response label maintains such high standards with their second release. the focus shifts to timothy j fairplay, a uk producer whose growing discography is proving to be impressive too. ears should still be ringing to his world unknown released homage to ancient egypts predilection for psychedelic drugs and its little surprise he has been hand picked for the debut release on sir weatheralls new vinyl initiative bird scarer. the four tracks that make up somebody, somewhere retain that dubby mid tempo poise that permeated fairplays output to date, though he seems to revel in the freedom to experiment emotional response encourages, focusing more on developing expansive patterns of synths on tracks like >aim for the yellow sector< and the title track. special mention too for >i do not believe< which comes on in a deep medi doing digidub style!

the excellent lumberjacks in hell imprint has served up some fine edits in its short lifespan to date, most notably from chicagos mutant beat dancer traxx and the labels latest release turns to two other windy city residents renowned for their collections and skills. rahaan needs little introduction for the disco loving community with essential drops on stillove4music, disco deviance and more, whilst mr sounds runs the excellent bring the heat website. this twelve is all about the a side >rainin bleeding boy< which puts a well loved uk ebm couple through the dub laden beatdown grinder - though djs will get plenty of mileage out of both tracks on the b side with >flip side< some supremely chopped up disco funk and >war i declare< a stomping and heavily filtered bomb.

in the 18 months since his brilliant debut release for we play house, luv jam has been steadily building his profile with a number of releases, and now he returns on vibrations with his first full ep of material since that auspicious first record. the eps a-side is a typically lush foray into stripped back, slo-mo house, with opener tough future utilizing little more than a 303 bassline and 909 kick to slowly build up to its raindrop crescendo, and >rubber band< employing a number a dreamy synths atop its tense, gurgling bass. the pace picks up on the b-side with >last floor hotel (mega mix)< upping the tempo and going into full on acid mode, with its furious pace accented with frenetic cowbell hits and industrial textures. the ep closes with >elastic band< a deeper excursion into jacking house, characterized by its flurry of handclaps, weighed up by its rubbery bassline.

our little dutch sun god onno knows best how to make the kids shine, and as expected, hes put together a breakwater just in time for beach season: whatever makes you happy glides on on the crest of the a1 groove with a heavy-duty surfboard. its laconic vocal work and dynamic drum rolls are echoed in the remix by nicola jah at coordinates b2. this italian producer dives into stiller waters, which of course run deep down into the vibrant ocean of sound. for the b1 onno provides similarly strong dancing material, shooting pool on the sundeck of his boat and knocking “8ball” into the hole of victory. finally, magit cacoon, our latest roster addition and the first woman on deck of the uy vessel, cruises via the digital route for her debut, an utterly deep remix of whatever makes you happy with bass that sets uy061s sails toward a blissful ending to the voyage

the restless berliners are back to bring some sun back to the dancefloors. fargo is a real open air hymn which you can only love or hate. an oldschool organ bassline on a minimal house beat topped with strings and disco vocals. this must be a hit. save yourself i a little bit darker but also a pretty strong track with a piano hook that you wont get out of your head too soon. the b side takes it back a notch with the more laid back tracks now youre gone and the fargo remix from the young and talented mass digital from serbia. thats proper deep house here on keno records.

journey, the american hard rock band that was formed in 1973 and became a sensation in the early 80s, didnt fully break through until their 1982 hit >dont stop believin<.
this classic rock anthem has been used in many a soundtrack, from southpark and my name is earl to bedtime stories, and most recently with great success as the theme tune for glee.
remastered audio on 180 grams audiophile vinyl.

it is a bold move to describe someone as the new, male equivalent of the late amy winehouse – but those really are the best words for the motown-revisited sounds of bo saris.
holland-by-way-of-ladbroke grove singer bo saris has made quite the impression in his native netherlands, but wanted a change from being a big fish in a little sea, and is now looking set to break onto the uk scene with his powerful vocal register and soulful intonations.

tireless producer, tronic boss and top international dj christian smith here steps up for his first release on plus 8. over the years christian has offered up a high volume and high quantity of techno inclined singles for myriad labels (bedrock, systematic, 100percent pure, soma), so it only makes sense he now finds himself on one of the scenes most reliable outposts for such material. the two track ep kicks off with house is house which is, as the name suggests, a little house-ier than the flip, but still deals in plenty of heavy bass weight and slick repetition. the devil is in the detail filtered, dark voices, rattling cowbells, washes of white noise synths and long, thin, forward looking pads - all of which are married to a mid-tempo groove. the more forceful indulge me then follows. taught kick drums start immediately as claps and subtle synth stabs swell in volume until they eventually fill out the whole airwaves. squirming behind are thin and icy steel lines until the first drop when the deliciously bouncy groove sets in proper. far from aping the usual detroit and chicago tropes, christian smith has once again crafted two classy dance floor joints that are not only exquisitely produced, but that bare all the usual hallmarks of christian smith, one of the most consistent producers in the game.

140 gramm vinyl. alex agore and tenderpark - it just had to happen. although alex is not all soft and tender, above his tuff and powerful garage beats it’s all sweetness. with his sugary chords and piano hooks as well as heavenly soul vocals alex demonstrates his deep love for harmonic richness and melodic sensitivity. a passion for the soulful side of house and a soft spot for pop - that’s what alex and tenderpark share and what makes them a perfect team. and a little bit of relaxed instrumental hip hop is the icing on the cake of this record and another joint love between the two.

kenneth christiansen & dennis bøg presents pattern repeat part 6. this time pattern repeat gets a little more harder and darker on pr00/6. the a side is a moody dark track with deep hypnotic almost nightmare kind of groove, with a old school kind of atmosphere. the b side gets hard straight from the beginning of the track with a pounding almost industrial kick drum, that builds from a minimal groove that really will kill the pa system in the club. pattern repeat has stepped up, and shows the harder and deeper side of the copenhagen techno scene
