the last few years have seen chicago footwork rise to international success, and traxmans debut album - *the mind of traxman* on planet mu - played no small part in that. it showcased cornelius fergusons brilliant ability to synthesise the beat digging of classic hip hop with the high-speed abstraction of footworks house-derived beat science. the selection of tracks on this second chapter show a slightly different take on traxman s abilities. instead of bringing in concepts from other genres, he simply creates a wider variety of footwork, made with a minimal, reduced palette. often just one or two samples are selected and diced into brain-blurring cubist puzzles that bear little relation to their original sources, or anything else for that matter.
the double vinyl lp comes with download code.

out of the ordinary is a celebration of strangeness. not the outer-worldly strange inventions of our minds, but the kind of strangeness we come across in our every day lives, hidden in the little details.

truesoul records are proud to announce the release of let your soul outside, the debut album from reset robot in april 2014.

after the very successful foray into split eps, luv shack records continues to explore this concept with luv013. the ep sees upcoming duo space echo make a return after their smash hit -soul power-, while the b-side is conducted by wahlberliner rotciv. -come back home-, the opening track by space echo, is a slowly building but effortlessly captivating piece of hypnotic house music with a raw funk attitude. the gently evolving synth line and the strong vocal hook are the spine of this anthemic track. the seemingly laid back -hangover- just oozes b-movie sleaze and might be space echos little hommage to 60 s lounge music, with an array of distorted guitars and soft pads coming to good use. that is until the synth theme kicks in mid-track and turns the piece into a late night weapon.

der rhythm & blues-fachjournalist lois wilson (mojo, record collector) hat für fantastic voyage tracks aus dem chess katalog aus den genres blues, r&b und rock n roll ausgewählt. die vinyl edition enthält 32 clubtaugliche stücke und einen farbigen einleger. mit dabei sind songs von muddy waters, chuck berry, howlin wolf, bo diddley, john lee hooker, u.v.a.

• massive new title from papers versus clouds !!
• another fine bundle of established artists go head to head...
the 5th brothers installment sees papers and clouds on the collab and 4 new members to the brothers family. the a side is a broken techno track with filtered drums, laced with an acid hook that will keep people fixed to the dancefloor. b1, a 138bpm straight distorted driver with heavy euphoric strings and harsh syncopated percussion, finally b2 slows things down a little to 122bpm, taking parts of b1 and flipping it on its head with harsh grooving hats and a ripping synth...

young jessie is one of the unheralded greats of the r&b, rock & roll and soul eras. beginning his career as a young teenager in la vocal group the flairs (with schoolmate richard berry, later of louie louie infamy), he then signed on with modern records and cut several high quality r&b sides through the mid-1950s

for its eighth release apartment delivers its first long player, by mysterious producer, vernon (dixon avenue basement jams / night gallery). little is known of this artist – what we do know is that his formative years were spent in belgium, immersing himself in the emerging new beat and ebm sounds emanating from the countrys dance clubs. for his release on apartment he has created 6 tracks that reflect these early influences, whilst also taking in other techno, house and electro influences. pounding drums, rasping hi-hats, rave stabs, twisting acid lines and grinding synths all come together under the unique tutelage of this most skilled of producers, all the while watched by the experts…

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.

surfacing from the back streets of greater mancunia, mystery artist belly arrives with the first record on their new belly dance label. with little more information to go on, let s focus on the music with the two original tracks from belly making for interesting listening. lead cut *dark autumn* is a slow beat sleaze production dominated by the vocals, big kicks and heavy synths that would go down well late into the night at horse meat disco. *farewell* is equally hard to pin down, taking on a more overtly hip hop style and is packed thick with textural and sampled detail. on the flip rob insinna turns in two new beat style remixes of *dark autumn* that will appeal to the more adventurous selectors.

pauls rather unique vocals lie somewhere between david bowie and richard butler of the psychedelic furs. all songs have been remastered for vinyl by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley. each lp includes 2 postcards with live photos, a list of instruments used and quotes, that are suitable for mailing. this collection highlights a lost duo with a big sound on par with ultravox, human league, omd or devo.

following the release of little big orchestra last year, good ratio music presents its fifth installment named: the time is now. a four tracker ep that collect forces onto the same piece of wax from kresy, tom ellis, baldo feat. lady blacktronika and carlo.

ltd nice price
guitar driven house funker with cool male vocals on the flip splashfunk works it into a big room electrohouse affair while marco zappala strips down the original a little bit for a nice club mix

4 track release with 3 originals that touch on deep house, italo disco & cosmic sounds while san franscio house-sleaze afficionado anthony mansfields remix provides a dubby dose of dance floor funk.

>you become responsible, forever, for what youve tamed<, antoine de saint exupery writes in his modern fairy tale ‘the little prince’, in which his protagonist travels through various worlds in search of friendship and benevolence. the quote is, no doubt, fitting for niko schwind, since the berlin-based dj and producer consistently demonstrates a deeply anchored love for and close bond to house music, the art form he himself has tamed.

wonderfull deep and melancholy 4-track + remix release. die musikalische bandbreite wird mit diesem release erweitert und wir freuen uns ungemein ein unbeschriebenes blatt auf andmusic begrüssen zu dürfen.

title track don t stop is a loose and playful thing that chucks loopy, circular drums, little vocal riffs, synth stabs and tumbling toms into the mix and lets them all groove along for almost six infectious minutes. its a spritely, silvery and slithering concoction that makes you shake your every limb. stare is a deeper, darker thing with rattling snares rolling over flappy kick drums and wobbling synths ducking in and out of the space left behind. its a tumultuous, drum lead affair that toys with your expectation, threatening to drop or explode but never quite doing so, instead keeping you right on the edge of your seat throughout. the final offering is nian which again has super well defined drums and hits all tumbling and sparking off each other. it s spacious stuff, too, and the indecipherable foreign language vocals add another layer of intrigue to what is already a fascinating cut.

really cool pack from pushing red, feat. superb uk bass / techno tracks from until silence & stickman

special offer, a limited amount will be avaible for a super nice price! includes limited edition hand painted sleeves. following on from their inaugural release dsnt records are back with a second helping of unvarnished, pummeling tracks in-keeping with the labels clear focus of releasing only the highest quality techno.

balearica brings the quality yet again with another stunning selection of unearthed eclectic gems. first up is one of the the all-time balearic/cosmic classics, the highly sought-after *i love you dancer* from french disco group voyage, a wonderfully funky floor-filling paean to fancy dancers and sweet romancers - total killer! followed by the dreamy instrumental version of italian crooner vasco rossis *una splendida giornata*, a beautiful sweeping slo-mo chugger. another instrumental opens the b-side, this time fonda raes in-demand dub of *heobah* with its relentless tripped-out synth groove. and lastly we have michael cretus little-known cosmic delight *flying to heaven*, a glorious slice of laid-back pop paradise hidden away on the b-side of a super-rare 1978 italian 12 inch. essential collection for lovers of the balearic sound.

weve complied two blackman and maurice joshua productions for the fourth house of trax 12inch. its a bit of a dirty one... to say the least. althought more polictically incorrect then a dutch politician, these humourous trax will set fire to the speakers for the right reasons too. the little known blackman had a 1993 release with >beat that bitch with a bat<, a song which later got popularized by johnny dangerous. the original 12inch got pressed up in small quantities and is available for the first time in 17 years. on the flip theres both the vocal and instrumental version of maurice joshuas (with hot hula hands) >i got a big dick<, which originally came out in 1988, as the a-side of his more known >this is acid<. both tracks are pretty rare these days and will still go down a storm on the dancefloor.

miss djax is proof that age doesnt necessarily always bring peace. for 25 years now, she has stomped on the face of techno and acid with hard punishing beats and radioactive 303 sounds.
with her new release *from within* she goes back to the acid sound of the nineties. she recorded the 4 tracks live in her little analog home studio just like in the old days. *from within* is a tribute to her old-skool fans. a release on solid 180 grams yellow coloured vinyl in a limited edition of 200 copies only.

we are back for the first release of the year - a nice mixed bag as ever - featuring label partner prima s first solo effort - grooves effortlessly and into darkest africa , other half of lht alphonse brings the drama with - acid melody - youngest member jamie blanco makes a welcome return - with his trippy little black jack and finally newest recruit asok crunches out this classic sounding piece of 4 to the floor goodness. limited to 200 copies: act fast

comprised of eight tracks, periscope blues is the culmination of a mission gone wrong. music for the stranded, the lost, those backed into a corner with nowhere to go, or maybe a reflection of sad individuals panicking on a tropical vacation gone awry. somber yet very tense drifting off radar machine electronics that feel like a blistering sun beating down on decaying beach remains as time crawls on. that or the equivalent to working the grill summers at jones beach and stealing from the register just to get a little more…
pressing on grey coloured vinyl.

sometimes it is best to let the music do the talking, this is one of those occasions. local talks 46th release comes from exciting debutant sameed. little did we know about sameed before we got the four tracks for this 12 inch, for all we know it could be your neighbour. quick-firing the release is spend, functional as a set highlight with its dubby chords, vocal snippets and a wonky bassline. included on the b-side is a dub that will work perfect as a dj tool for those who want to go a little bit deeper. showcasing sameeds sense for keeping things stripped down and sweaty, still is a dirty exercise in acid witchcraft while getyoself can best be described as a delicately raw rhythm with dark textures.

silverback recordings welcomes back the phantom (real name bartosz kruczynski) with the longawaited full length debut lp 1

dibek, phlox head honcho and one half of group niob, delivers ambient, kraut and detroit flavours on this lovely little 7inch in cooperation with smal records. fans of kassem mosse should check this out.

wenn wir etwas benennen müßten, das sich unsere fans immer wieder wünschen, dann wäre dies wohl eine vinyl-version von the fields legendärem ersten album from here we go sublime: ursprünglich 2007 veröffentlicht, war das gefeierte albumdebüt des projekts, welches alsbald zu den beliebtesten in unserem künstlerkatalog zählen würde, als reguläre cd-edition samt begleitendem 12 inch sampler erhältlich - doch noch nie als vollständiges vinyl-release. kameraschwenk zum record store day 2014 und der perfekten gelegenheit, dieses verblüffende meisterwerk endlich auf verdiente art und weise zu präsentieren. die doppel-lp erscheint im klappcover, inklusive cd-version des albums.

limited editon for this 12 that compiles different hidden gems from aybee in his different projects like orion 70 or working with the vocalist omega or dozie. technosoul in the best way.

disco-disco, thats the first thing that crops to mind by listening to the new album good morning made by roter & lewis for the first time. perfectly selected vocals and every track with a high talented musical arrangement make it to a life-time experience

hommage this is already the third release for our little baby s p i e l and as we are on a constant search for the more leftfield and not so deep house esque dance music it was a very happy surprise to find an amazing demo in our mail box by the swiss indie dance/ electronic duo mercury. the bern based act already made a name for themselves by releasing on the great gomma label and by doing remix work and collaborations with people like robert owens, byron stingily, tom trago,munk and two door cinema club. these three new tracks are a well crafted mix of electro, disco, house and deep techno.

n a rainy late september day in the mid eighties, 7 year old phillip lauer didnt know what to expect from that little new born g, who was referred to as his brother jacob. on the other hand, baby jacob wasn t very sure of what to make of this - back then still sporty - youngster either, who behaved like his boss. to make a short story long it took them almost 30 years to finally find out - behind the helm of the infamous pyramide 2 studio when conducting this fine piece of home made dance music: the brudis ep

latest iib release features the north easts version of csn last waltz. a double header, the first track just hold on is a collaboration between last waltz & smoove. heartfelt vocals over a pastoral rolling chugger, deep bassline folky guitar strumming making this a favourite at iib hq. on the remix ess o ess raise the tempo a little bring out the electric guitars and increasing the chug to almost krautrock levels. on the flip side last waltz give us tribute. a deep atmospheric acid affair. mellow electric keys and percussion lull you into a false sense of security before the heavy kick and acid bassline drop with dark cello notes. machete savane take on the remix. replacing acid for guitar and adding some machine groove this slowly builds and builds into a top bubbler.

vincenzo returns to dessous recordings with something a little special. merry go round features the stunning vocal talents of language aka kaori kaneko, a haunting, drifting and highly affecting piece of music that sounds like nothing else.

pulsing, soulful house music from matthias wagner on the newly-founded noir et son imprint. skittering jams with a hint of jazz and left-field to keep things that little bit off-kilter. a proper bomb!

as we launch into a brand new year we also celebrate 10 years of salted with a bang! for our first release of 2014, migs lets loose with this tasty little morsel of goodness - already test driven all around the globe to many smiling faces and trainspotting reactions. an upfront stellar and punchy bassline is the star of the show with warm glowing synth pads and rubbery stabs to keep things bouncing. the classic chopped up vocal sample filters in while glittering strings entice the senses for an all around dance floor delicacy.

although delivering a mysterious & scantily clad 12 inch is hardly a novel concept these days, we must confess to being more than a little excited when we heard this one! it is undercover time again, and we’re sworn to secrecy, of course… what we do know, however is that this mighty release is an absolute dancefloor sureshot! made up of two long, pitched down and utterly mesmerising workouts kicking off with itaque putant, a mid-tempo, tripped out disco number that marries elements of techno, late 80s balearia and more than a nod towards classic red zone dubs. super low subs and bags of melodic atmosphere conspire to provide a perfect dancing under the stars moment. on the flip timento is a lysergic, tribalistic epic, stitching together a series of ethnic ingredients and overlaying some seriously transcendent modern synth candy. building into the soundtrack for a full blown shamanic vision! a serious platter then, and when the music is this good, who needs more?

second and limited yellow wax from minimal kids. a continuity of the first ep for your hearing pleasure, living room, vinyl walkman or dance floor.

superb little discovery, first record from i.n.d. from paris, bringing a tribe oldschool feeling in the ptit gris style, with a pinch of oriental sample and a solid 175 bpm. b side stands a mental acid techno tribe tune, sweet dancefloor sound. cut at final tweek for a loud clean sound.

vinyl only - limited edition 180 gram pressing! >reforming digital waves by simple & elegant music patterns< - a straightforward mission statement for a new imprint, and one whose understated, direct manner shows the music-centered focus of wavereform as we reveal our first release. the >new sky< ep is the production debut of a mysterious new russian talent known as ivanov, and about whom little is known past his reclusive buddhist existence and his background in guitar, which is clearly evident on the title track. underlain by rising and falling atmospheric washes and understated percussion, >new sky< is propelled by a funky, jazzy and clearly organic keyboard solo that closely approximates his familiar stringed instrument in texture, tone, and musical development. next up is minimal legend soulphiction, who masterfully beefs up the original with a fat, growling bassline and more aggressive, hard hitting drums and claps that take the dreamy mood of ivanovs track and transform it into something more cosmic and psychedelic while retaining its musicality. on the flip, a new tune entitled >deep< gets revisited by lucidflow label heads klartraum, who have recently shifted their digital imprint to vinyl. here they bring things towards the dubbier end of the spectrum with a slow-building track that goes from hazy beginnings to an ominous, dramatic breakdown and then into a harder grooving second half. taken together, these three tracks are an auspicious beginning for a new name and label, and in fulfilling the stated goals offer great promise of things to come.

dont sleep: kick the fakers balls! wake up and trust your soundsystem. trust your speakers and trust your ears! bleeps and basses,decent kicks and a little bit more of dirty noises are enough to keep a dancefloor under invisible water movin like young dolphins hunting a seahorse! wolkenfetzen (innerbeauty mix): emotional content is here the headline, this is a roland jx 1 session with romantic pads and classic house basslines, the bouncy kicking electribe beats waiting for the open air season as introduction and as a perfect outro ending in a loop of birds!

stompin at the savoy – live (1983) was a major commercial success for rufus and chaka khan, reaching #4 on billboards r&b albums charts. this double-record set features three sides of live material recorded over multiple dates at the savoy theatre in new york. the band stunned packed audiences with an energetic set of old favorites and new material, such as *tell me something good*, *you got the love*, *sweet thing*, *at midnight (my love will lift you up)*, and *do you love what you feel* as well as *what cha gonna do for me* from khans 1981 solo album of the same name. the d-side includes four new studio recordings of which two were released as singles, *aint nobody* and *one million kisses*. *aint nobody* became rufus final #1 r&b hit and won them a grammy award for best r&b performance by a duo or group with vocal in 1984. the song was featured in the movie breakin and its soundtrack.

12 inch from the studio barnhus camp – music by baba stiltz, artwork by theodor johansson. transit is mr. stiltz on a night train, angelic voices and smooth tape hiss leading the stuttering acid sounds forward. principles lets a canonical synth theme pave the way for a happy-gojackin campfire beat that just wont stop. baba even threw in a little bonus ditty for all you freaks out there! watch out for a baba stilz long player dropping on studio barnhus later this year. watch out for baba!
