nice price deal !!! aÑa / henning baer / norman nodge / musk.... no one knows exactly how, or why it happened. we can only postulate. perhaps it was rogue hydrogen atoms causing havoc again, or a particularly voracious wave of em radiation hell bent on finding a good time. the point is, (in those days) such lude behavior was simply unacceptable: aÑa had become excited, too much so for the solar stiffs that swirled about her. and that system of hers—always buzzing around, refusing to share anything—it had to go. so both were exiled from that collision patch they called home, leaving aÑa and her system to wander the cosmos. some years passed. aÑa grew a little, but mostly she practiced her basswalk—not this girly swooshy thing with your hips, but a real bolshy bovver boot stomp. after a while she got pretty good at it, she wanted to show her friends. maybe theyd like to basswalk too. well, they couldnt get enough of it—but no one did it quite like aÑa. henning baers had a bit more groove to it and this whole new tweaky hat element. norman nodge kept his pretty punchy, but all that time spent in berghain had turned his basswalk into a bit of a skulk. as for musk, the boys inverted the whole thing of course—turned a disco trick, shifting the march down into more of a slinky house glide. aÑa liked them all so much—and it was time isolated system stopped being such a separatist—she decided to gather them all together to make basswalker part i. now you can basswalk too

it is a cold dark winter – snow is lying everywhere. simon12345 and the lazer twins are heading up north into a little wooden house in the northern parts of denmark. they will live there for the next weeks and build up a temporary studio in this secluded cottage. simon has got a handful of sketches with him. musical states of mind and conceptual games he developed over the last years. basically the idea is to develop something truly unique and powerful – although none of them knows how that will sound exactly or what will happen in particular during this time. it is not even clear who plays which instrument, who will do what…nothing is set. the only thing clear is that they have things to say, things that have been burning in them for so long now. tell me. how can (mostly) instrumental music suggest a way of life? how can you criticize without pointing at something particular? how can music transport you into place of quietness and self reflection?

strictly rhythms vol.9 , vinyl part 2 of 2... incl tracks and rmxs from black magic, masters at work (maw), jacques renault, subb-an...

bereits während der letzten drive-by truckers tour begann patterson hood am vorliegenden album zu arbeiten. ursprünglich hatte er geplant ein buch zu schreiben, dann stellte er aber schnell fest, dass die texte sehr an songformaten angelegt waren und sie sich nahtlos in seine musikalischen entwürfe einfügten. das album wurde in seiner heimatstadt athens/georgia aufgenommen, und er ließ sich dabei von fast der gesamten drive-by truckers crew musikalisch unterstützen. ein album für fans von wilco, neil young, alberta cross und natürlich drive-by truckers.

its just a small sample off the groove platter a little something to whet your appetite, if you will. and who better to get the juices flowing than mobilees own versatile house-maven, ray okpara.

with his debut ep >swinger<, the multitalent from central germany now wants to conquer the club scene. as dj and event-manager he already has filled the dancefloors. now his songs should do likewise. inspired by the infamous clarinet-grooves of the roaring twenties and biting trombones >swinger< connects the organic sound of hand-played instruments with crunching techno beats.
the album exhausts the composition always a little bit more danceable, thanks to original instrumentation. but it is more than only dj-tools for the turntables. as the six tracks on >swinger< no second run out of ideas, it will effortlessly earn a wider audience.

idiot savant masterpieces is the 3rd release and the first full solo ep by amir alexander on the vanguard sound record label. on display is amirs somewhat off kilter take on u.s. dance music. an approach so different that one critic described the work of amir and his crew as idiot savant masterpieces. all bases are covered, acid, deep, big room, and banging techno with a little hip house thrown in for good measure. vanguard sound is quickly establishing itself as a label to watch so serious collectors should buy this one on sight!

the pain sat deep inside his chest – even a little further behind.
the world can exist without me, the world can exist without me - he repeats it again and again in a monotonous inflection.

fritz kalkbrenner hat mit >sick travellin< nicht nur das naechste kapitel seiner beeindruckenden karriere aufgeschlagen, sondern mit dem album nachdruecklich seine stellung als eine der wichtigsten deutschen stimmen an der schnittstelle zwischen club und pop untermauert.

hailing from ireland, shane linehan is committed to showcasing the finest that new jersey-styled house music has to offer. having impressed with his release for local talk, he returns to his own basic grooves imprint to get the good times rolling with aplomb. >ilinx< wears its heart on its sleeve with a crisp beat that makes all the right moves, while a slick organ chord line takes centre stage in an upbeat revelry written for the start of the weekend. >so now you know< on the flip is a more contemplative affair, although no less steeped in bumping house culture. the keys are played in a more downbeat refrain and the beats a little more restrained, but this is still very much a dancefloor burner

sumerian fleet ep on creme eclipse. big menacing darkwave with an industrial tinge from this mysterious west coast super group, like someone finally removed those damn sunglasses from the sisters of mercy dude and showed him the world was an even sadder place than he imagined. little was heard of him since. a masterclass in weltschmerz.

sold out - deleted - a classic jamiroquai album from 2001, cd-copy included.

adepth audios 8th release is a collaboration between detroits sean deason and dutchman rob belleville. needing little introduction, sean is the owner of respected detroit label matrix records, and the mastermind behind much acclaimed electronic music. robs reputation for relaxing and understated techno is growing with each of his releases. the track >halogen< is a stomper reminiscent of seans classic matrix releases. robs remix has a more electronic feel with wonderful breaks. where you belong is hypnotic music that evolves and lingers. seans interpretation of this track is a mover with all the detroit goodness youd expect. a future classic.

having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.

preceding a full length album on 4lux, ka§par showcases his amazing talents on this second ep for 4lux. the portuguese producer comes with some of the most interesting dance music around. got good love is a tough deep house groover that comes as both original and with a nicholas remix. cruising andromeda is a futuristic techno tune for forward thinking deejays. on hyphen kaspar slows down the pace and tosses in some 707 action: a crazy ride with rough synths and spaced out effects. ka§pars releases have become rare and sought after, releasing little more than one 12inch a year in the recent past when one listens to the result, it only proves how great things take their time.

nico purman returns to vakant with his most technoid record since his 2009 va025 euphrasia ep. a cut the bubble reveals the direction nico is taking with this ep. contemporary techno with a classic touch and the distinctive twist that is characteristical for purmans works. b-side blow my mind slackens the pace a little bit and gives room for more trippy yet groovy moments on the floor later in the morning. mind bending.

with releases as rare as a week of sunshine in london, and a profile that makes burial look press hungry, it is with great pleasure we give you joes first tracks of 2012. two wickedly sleazy and satisfyingly peculiar tunes that as you would expect, completely defy categorisation.

the music of portable is truly unique. habitually perlons in-house singer and also the man that is bodycode, alan abrahams is capable of evoking the spirits of traditional deep house songs - yes, you read right: songs - without getting lost in nostalgia, manufacturing boring carbon copies or a longing for a past that never was. his first visit to ramonas little outlet is all that: haunting, melancholic yet optimistic, as deep as it is driving and most of all mesmerising. >a process< features all his great sound signature moves, comes with an acappella for brave djs and a serious flutramental on top of it all for the faint at heart. creation might be a painful process, but surely a rewarding one for portable. ramona is in love.

taron-trekka as a dj & producer duo posses the gift to make people happy, in that they implant in their souls powerfully deep music. the two gentlemen call aloud from the cellar: can we kick it? the audience answers back dancing: yes you can! and so it goes on their second release, for the enthusiast label milnormodern run by treplec, which has managed to carve some room when it comes to puffed out beats. the release cycle is a gentle process. in this way such sonic pearls unfold develop to their fullest, without drowning in a flood.
oooh, a milnormodern – put it right in the box, ahhh a taron-trekka. i ll take that without having to even hear it...
what taron-trekka does from the wide field of deepness is fashion a diversity of color and that certain thump that fits right in-between their compositions. regardless of whether a piece sounds a little held back, somehow it produces a booom. for them, dancing is the vertical expression of the joi de vivre of the body members, based on the horizontal fantasy and an empathy for the physical.

ssaliva (aka cupp cave) has been very active lately with releases on vlek & ramp as cupp cave, the previous ssaliva out on vlek earlier this year, a rbma participation & lots of live gigs all over europe. this is ssalivas second ep on vlek. as its little brother it is a perfect display of how he mastered the magic of wows and flutters. 8 tracks of a vibe thats been dubbed by xlr8r as soaked in codeine and smoked to the gills. the sleeve was made on a full analog letterpress with an original artwork by dimitri runkkari (responsible for the critically acclaimed first ssalivas cover). bright pink vinyl, limited edition.

new tracks from detroits acid wizard, the one and only jared wilson. as with his past releases, always in demand and always sell out!

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.

repress in black vinyl!! part three of the brilliant four part remix series invites robert hood and dvs1 (zak khutoretsky) to the table, poly outer sleeve brilliantly shows off the printed insert also included... two remixers get in on the act this time for mr ruskins corking remix series - little more to say here, another great blueprint record !

>my life< featuring the vocals of meggy is a modern soulful number, with warm sounds and effective beats ... a very cool deep summer little anthem. on the remix front till von sein and tigerskin get in the studio to produce a strong house reinterpretation, keeping the original elements and adding a fierce bass line! kingston based menik proves to be a name to watch, exploring different worlds, and delivering something fresh and forward thinking!

freeze dried is the brand new label from the one and only grant nelson, with this new venture focusing on a deeper shade of beats... although refusing to be pigeon-holed, the labels brief is kept quite simple, fitting between a fusion of disco & deep house, the music quality is as you would expect the very highest quality! the opening release is a perfect snapshot of this, with the infectious nu-disco flavour of >time ties< kicking off the package, on the flip >not that same< goes a little deeper in the mix, with a melodic yet uplifting hook that has already been getting some serious exposure out in the ibiza sunshine.
