gone too long from rising duo him_self_her is a bonafide bomb - house with feeling and a massive bassline and killer vocal from kieran fowkes. reinvigorated by crosstown rebels for a re-release after it came out on mexican label cream couture last year, this time the infectious original comes backed with remixes from belgian hero compuphonic, who injects more bounce, bleeps and emotive melody and the mighty yousef whos darker circus rework is a deep affair of rolling drums and dubby textures

quality loud-pressed reissue of it s on by wizard, an irresistible slab of ultra-rare bad-ass boogie from 1982. hailing from gastonia in north carolina, the acclaimed and highly-collectible chocolate cholly s label produced a slew of top-class funk and boogie 12 inches and lps in the early 80s and this is no exception. a rocking synth-laden dancefloor bomb boasting a truly sleazy squelching bass, slamming drums and a great vocal, the rarity of this hugely desirable track has pushed prices for the original sky-high. grab a copy while you can - essential!

achim maerz takes electronic abstraction back to a state of organic harmony and rythm. his ep >long time no see< reveals a soundscape of intimacy and evolving grooves. reduction broadens its horizon. all sounds are carefully placed and a sustaining atmosphere keeps developing from song to song. still each one is an individual scenery of its own. >keys of my soul< delicatly moves through wide rooms while >shake, shake, shake< leads closer to the core of groove. the backbeat driven >system< already possesses a pushing groove which mutualy connects it to >long time no see< with its warm pulsating baseline. achim maerz approach to house shows how much is possible if self-limitation leads to creativity.

2013 sees the release of norwegian disco viking rune linbaeks latest long player, on his drum island label. its his first album since the 2000 release (sondag) on paper recordings repap offshoot. last years single wonder feat kurt maloo on the label was a day one sell out here at all ears and marked a significant maturing of runes trademark sound. the influence of norway on the worlds forward thinking disco scene & beyond is more than evident, with countrymen like todd terje, prins thomas and hans peter lindstrom all leading the charge for years now. the creative cauldron of the infamous club in a public toilet skansen has much to answer for! krasava is a very much vocal led project, with a cast of featured vocalists which includes norwegian popstar anneli drecker alongside recent collaborator Øyvind blikstad. the album is steeped in norwegian folklore, visually and musically and the gentle lilt of the norse/balearic sound, sits comfortably alongside more cosmic flavours, rock and beautifully crafted pop.

the long walk starts with the main body of the groove, combining the drums, bass and strings into one morphed soundscape. the strings, as if breathing life in and out of every 4 bar phrase, rocks the listener back and forth, as the acid line is allowed to weave itself, almost freely, in and out of the percussive detailing. this builds a bed for the next progression of the string section to reveal themselves, majestically...

Über die letzten jahre gelang es den the fresh & onlys sich in die herzen einer immer grösser werdenden schar von fans zu spielen. die fresh & onlys sind so eine richtige lieblingsband. es gibt eigentlich niemanden, der dem charme des sängers tim cohen und seiner mannen nicht verfällt. früher oder später kriegen sie sie alle. das who is who der amerikanischen underground labels (woodsist, in the red und captured track) rissen sich darum ihre platten zu veröffentlichen, auf dem all tomorrows parties festival sind sie sowas wie ein stammgast, und bands wie black lips und deerhunter haben ihre lieblingsband mit auf tour genommen. diesen herbst folgt ihr inzwischen viertes album, das endlich auch in europa erscheint, auf souterrain transmissions, der heimat von crocodiles, moon duo, zola jesus und coco rosie. >long slow dance< (oder auch l.s.d.) heisst das album. abermals geht es sehr romantisch zu und hittig, man fühlt sich an go-betweens erinnert und frühe (gute!) r.e.m., aber alles glücklicherweise nicht glatt sondern schrullig. es fällt da nicht leicht ein anderes label ausser pop im besten sinne zu verwenden!

for their second release, works the long nights are proud to present an ep from sunil sharpe, one of irelands most celebrated underground djs and producers. since late 2000, sunil has gained a formidable reputation as a dj for his quick fire mixing and fast paced sets and, similarly, as a producer for his distinctive style of club music that fully encapsulates irelands rich heritage and relationship with techno. he is a mainstay of the scene in ireland, responsible for a label/vinyl store (earwiggle), a series of one-off events in dublin (hosting guests like planetary assault systems, cj bolland, perc and adam x) and a show on national radio (rte 2fm s late night sessions) and it is, undoubtedly, a great honour to welcome him to the label. sheworks002 arrives off the back of fantastic recent releases for black sun records, komisch (as tricaustic with jon hussey) and labrynth and features four diverse tracks of dark, raw and uncompromising techno pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, mastered at d&m and distributed by rubadub. support from sigha,shifted, truss, rivet, darko esser, ben ufo, inigo kennedy, northern structures, kriz token, perc and more

we are very happy and proud to announce yippiee?s fourth release. your dudes from hannover, filtertypen and benny ferkel just signed five great new tracks for the upcoming indoor season, but for sure they will work also just excellent for the last open air events as well. the yippiee004, as every release by yippiee, again is a hannover based production. yes, even if you didn?t know mario aureo, the only bird that has flown away and now has his nest in berlin is from hannover as well as chris lattner who was born near our wonderful homebase.with the ?all night long ep? mario tried to do a record with different tracks for every part of a long lasting night. the track ?under pressure? is a digital bonus, but the vinyl itself will show you yippiee?s and especially mario?s point of view for the night in a deep and groovy way.

after being wowed by christian smiths superb remix of carl craigs >at les< the legendary underworld listed it as one of their tunes of 2010 thereby planting a seed in the veteran producers mind. a mutual appreciation and the aforementioned events have resulted in smiths biggest remix yet – the reworking of underworlds seminal >dark & long<. coming in two versions, both of which have won immense support from the band themselves, the christian smith remixes of >dark & long< take the track in to new territories respectfully and skilfully. the tronic treatment mix preserves the vibe of the original perfectly while adding a condensed but slow burning feeling of tension which explodes into the epic break we all know and love. the hypnotica dub version underpins karl hydes classic vocal refrain and the rich synths of the original with an ever-changing, guttural monster of a bassline that adds a whole load of understated aggression without ever taking over the wonderful melodies.

from germany its a long distance to detroit, but it sounds detroit like a short way...

another month, another cool and unique r&b sound from the jukebox jam series! this time around, we feature 40s songstress with a really superb low-slung and slinky number. making its first appearance on 45rpm vinyl, >shrinking up fast< is bound to set pulses raising with its hot and seductive jazzy feel, mambo rhythm and wailing horns. yet another record which sounds not so much ahead of its time as occupying another realm altogether! the flip side >please dont stay away so long< is a worthy effort in its own right - a breezy jump blues side which also rotates around a loosely latin influenced rhythm. but as good as it is, >shrinking up fast< is the clear winner for us, an awesome, slow-burning scorcher which we are proud to be able to finally make available on dj friendly 45rpm - its going straight in out box and we would urge you to follow suit!
