a very special vinyl that underlines the vision and the elasticity of the origin of this label. in this ep commodity place perfectly represent their sound, a new age psychedelic electronic sounds combined with live instruments played. distant atmospheres.
the remix of the title track is signed by the labels owner fabrizio lapiana. his version is perfectly good on the dancefloor to appreciate the atmosphere created by the original. engaging, happy and sad .. not heavy and with something resembling atmosphere coming from a part of the old school in detroit. a real journey into the sound!

live recording of a 6 channel loudspeaker concert of improvised electronic music., november 14th 2010 at Äänen lumo festival for new sounds at myllysali, suomenlinna island, helsink.

early support : laurent garnier, funk d’void, miguel migs, jimpster, danny krivit, lovebirds, matthias voigt, phil weeks, lee curtiss, grant nelson, nick holder, luke solomon, rob mello, roberto rodriguez, jef k ... the title track life live is a gorgeous deep house number, in pure shur-i-kan tradition. you can really hear toms amazing keyboard skills and great musical legacy. lastly, we have one10, a slower track with a balearic feel to round up what we think is one of the best record we heard so far this year.

rather lightweight live album, only thirty four minutes long, three songs and some painful applause herding for an encore. the line-up is essentially the girls line-up, though john g. perry s been replaced by an also-excellent mike wedgwood. the production is clear but the mix misjudged: the admittedly nicely brought out bass sound dwarfs all other elements. in particular, pye hastings guitar is very low, the drums never seem to match the bass volume.

the new age sound of frankfurt! hot on the heels of massimiliano pagliaras praised album debut focus for infinity youll find a neat 12inch of top-quality remix action. first up, frankfurts version of a young peter daou aka phillip lauer (arto mwambe, brontosaurus) and running backs gerd janson (who spend a big deal of his youth trying to perfect a weak bobby konders mimicry) team up as tuff city kids. offering two takes, pagliaras >a wrong chance< gets split into a sweet layer cake of bass, synths, strings and for those who are faint at heart, an additional riddim version provides hidden acid fantasies. upside down, oliver hafenbauer and christian beisswenger (arto mwambe fame again) keep on exploring their sharp electro funk under their b.h.v.f moniker. with a playtime that exceeds nine minutes, you get right twists and wicked turns and most of all sounds unheard. modern music with an old-fashioned style of lovin.

acid jazzs rare mod series is a collection of vinyl eps, compilation albums and books that shines a light on the forgotten side of the british mod scene.
one such album is live 65 from kenny bernard & the wranglers, which is an extraordinary historical document that turned up at a car boot sale a couple of years back.

bristol based sound artist works with electronic hardware recorded to cassette. although known for his release on punch drunk, this is a recording of his 1st gig, 45mins of totally fried & directionless pulses, bleeps, and atmospheres. screen print sleeve.

unreleased live session from 72 from prolific co-founder of tangerine dream & kluster. although very much from the experimental side of things, he has had a wide ranging influence on musicians of many different slants. screen print gatefold sleeve.

next up on tirk we have a brand new act, named free school. hailing from birmingham, shoegaze duo andy and steve bring the sunny balearic sounds of summer and the icy kosmiche sounds of winter all in one sweeping hit. free school are maximalist and minimalist all at once.
the band like to compare themselves to caribou, orbital, hot chip, fourtet, and pet shop boys, all pretty good touchstones in our eyes, however it was the sheer gloriousness of their music that had us hooked.
their debut ep features the uplifting and euphoric >ranting and raving< and the 9 minute sound-movie >lemon<. remixes come from richard norris and his time and space machine project (we are going to have to put this guy on the payroll soon) and russian ice cool customer sportloto. free school also appear live (in sheep masks no less) so watch out for them at a venue near you. their debut album is in the pipeline and already sounding good.

incl live act by elektrodrei! big with laurent garnier, luciano, stephan bodzin, luca dobbie, patrick bateman. following the successful memories ep on owspezi006, elektrodrei have shown us where their road will go to. now they will up the ante with soebenuntwintig and the two tracks >w.b.f.< and >human reaction<, to sound the bell for the festival season on the premises of ostwind. 2 sweeping tunes bursting with temper just as going under your skin. no doubt they will raise the roof of every festival stage. halleluja!

no time to rest, here is anandas next on basmati. like his smash single >doppelwhipper< the present tracks for his >live series< were performed live on stage. >hey blop< is a perfect and very playable summertrack while >give me five< shows how percussions should be looped into great techno.

incl live act & ostwind sticker! sandru is the name of the young argentinean, who made his debut on fievuntwintig and entered the playlists of catz & dogz, kiki, stephan bodzin or cumiks with his track >late night stories<. now it is about time for him to show how electronic awareness of life feels in south america with his >argentina ep< on ow036. he shifts sound aesthetics as well as emotions and his tunes move directly and incredibly intuitive into the listeners ears. dj-optimized arrangements, detroit techno harmonies and terrifically minimal techno grooves & rhythms make for sandrus >argentinia ep< to be one of ostwinds most true releases.

ramona loves roman. roman loves ramona. the two just cant help it. naturally, the desperate housemen ep is his second 12-inch effort for live at robert johnson and a showcase of his versatility. like a crosspollination of his efforts as solyent green, roman iv or under his original name, you get four distillates of house music, cold wave and frankfurt-style electro-funk. distinctive, sparkling, 4x4 and paying attention to detail, this is like an update of the unpredictability that once made a nu groove record so exciting, fresh and not desperate at all. truly romantic!

b.h.f.v is the collaborative effort of arto mwambes cb funk and the live at robert johnson label manager oliver hafenbauer. originating from a cross-pollination of graffiti, train stations, red light districts and frankfurts club music roots, et 01 and et 06 are both all that those x-men and egyptian lovers ever wanted. two tracks, one sound. blueeyed electro-funk with sharp snares, jeep-boomin bass and haunting melody lines. retro fascists beware! this aint a historically correct or nerdy carbon copy, but a blast from the futures past. fresh as champagne morning dew. hip hop be bop.

massive dream team of erick morillo / eddie thoneick ft the vocals of shawnee taylor. mixes from dirty freek & chuckie.

vibrations 002 comes from lhas, aka jaime read, who is here to show all these new old-school house heads precisely where to step off. a longtime cohort of foolish felix, who was horribly ripped off by a chicago legend (just google it) and the man to go to when you want _that_ vintage synth sound spotted, jaime knocks out four tracks that arent retro – they are timeless. from the classic chi-jack of >learning to live< to the swirling syncopation of >call that jazz<, these four tracks eschew rigid programming and live, breathe and ooze musicality. no remixes, just 100% lhas.

the first release for consequence and joe sevens new alias they live is on dbridge & instra:mentals autonomic label. creeping in with a slightly haunting melody and sparse drums, >pure palms< starts off with little indication of where the track might lead, it feels as though it could go in any direction. as it slowly builds, the warmth and weight û and deep-set rhythms û that consequence is known for begin settling, and open up to an evocative, widescreen track of immense beauty.

incl live mix by ataneus! and again the ostwind crew welcome a new artist on their sub label ostwind limited. sandru lives in cologne and raised with music as a son of a bassist. he played drums and piano in his childhood and made the first steps with techno at the age of 15. now the 24 years old sandru releasing his first track called >late night stories<. raw minimal beats und clicks, combined with a dirty rolling bass and a building hookline will give you some warmness in these winter days. a good start by sandru and we looking forward to his next releases on ostwind. to make this record perfect we have two pretty tracks from our friend from sofia, ataneus. well known for his productions on ostwind, subotnik and ackerdub, ataneus shows again his talent for emotional and very deep going stuff. en echolon and spectral class have this typical warm bass and arrangements from ataneus. forward groovin techhouse styled up with markant pinpointed melodies. also music to fuse the ice from the house top oft he club.

to kick-start the fina campaign we literally hunted high and low to find an artist and sound that we felt would represent us and give a statement of intent. what we didnt expect was for this search to take us south of the equator and into to the deep southern hemisphere. this is not the first place that you would expect to hear warm, deep underground house but this is exactly what you get with the melbourne based mic newman. and thinking about it, it doesnt get warmer or deeper than melbourne does it? mic is a young producer who we believe is destined for greatness. at the age of 29, hes already had a string of underground smashes on labels such as murmur, tsuba, dirt crew, freerange, and now for fina records. the intriguingly named live east, die young ep (mic riffing on his time spent living in london) sees what mic doing what he does best and demonstrates why his future is so bright. on die young, the tougher a-side, mic keeps the beats solid, and the groove tight and hypnotic, while the smooth chord stabs get right under your skin. prolonged foot tapping ensues. on the flip side, live east, mic takes it a little deeper with ever so subtle disco touches. the vocal sample asks what your name is and to take off your jacket as if to welcome you to a very messy after hours on this mcde-esque low-slung house groove. on remix duty, the on-form jacques renault and marcos cabral aka runaway, lift the track out of the south hemisphere and take it in a north easterly direction all the way to the caribbean – adding plenty of steel drums and pads on their interpretation of live east

ultraphat percussive hardgroovin techno classic! limited copies available!

the power of lauer is indisputable. blessed with the uncanny ability to make hooks that would make bone thugs-n-harmony jealous in their heyday, phillip lauer is – pardon us – the melody man. his newest tour de force comes in two parts for our beloved live at robert johnson label. similar sounding to the legendary harmonizer (as if you would care), h.r. boss is new- romantic -italo -not -italowave that puts love on top of love (i.e. the aforementioned melodies). wouldnt sound out of place in sophie marceaus notorious la boum walkman. forbidden fruit is the sweetest. a little less full-bodied, yet as disarming, banned goes straight ahead with its ripply bass line, wheezing strings, a killer arrangement that completely deserves the tracks name plus a groove that wont stop. feels like delta nrgs filthy little brother. delectable! put on your red shoes

matt star with his first solo release on musique unique, therefore he made a very special ep with unreleased tracks from his last years livesets.

who wouldnt want to be kept by a beautiful rich woman? no matter how you look at it, its not the worst way to make a living. in 1982 the german new wave quartet ideal even wrote a song about it. >schoene frau mit geld< is thestory of a young man without any other drive or desire in life than to find such a woman and turn this state of utopia into reality. tough goal! twenty-eight years later, one of germanys finest and merited producers decided to do afresh interpretation of the song. sir losoul of playhouse fame presents two mixes (a dub for the faint of heart) that hone the hook and tag line of the original for maximum dance floor and repeated listening pleasure. and that, ladiesand gentlemen, is sometimes really the only thing you need in the world…

two sided imprints - good look (100% cotton)

3 generations walking, the culmination of producers mkl & soy sos, return with the follow up to slavery days. to live feat. gary french on lead vocals gracefully singing in his native french dialect over a moving dancefloor friendly groove, accented by live drums & flugel horn. on the flip, to dub, the raw undertones of john hall on electric bass & andrew pearl on drums set the stage for the mesmerizing trumpet solo of ian gordon

accompanying the miraculous larj edition by arto mwambe, this piece of vinyl features two of the previously unreleased trinkets that were shining through their unconventional narrative of an arto mwambe live set. you get their typical fudge and the duos crush on melodies with duster fc, while one lonely knight can easily be interpreted as a bow to another convincing pair: paris grey and kms wouldnt feel out of place here...
