having already proven that he is capable of maintaining sonic quality and distinction over the course of a full original program, chevel (a.k.a. dario tronchin) now makes his lp debut for stroboscopic artefacts.

volkan ak&#305,n is a fresh name in the scene that already buzzed some radars worldwide and succeeded in impressing and released his music in well established imprints like sammy dee’s ultrastrech where he had his brilliant debut with a villalobos remix. with “sinister” he skims away from his usual stripped down minimalistic grooves and presents us two tracks of lush, intimate works of deep textures, analog machine love-making noises and intricate drum arrangements with very personal tones. and while the a side “sinister” keeps us on edge with a virtually consistent momentum of suspense and a very conveniently sinister mood, the flipside “atest” takes us on a ride between the high skies and the deep seas, on a seamlessly neverending loop of peaceful pads and very addicting dreamy tones. this very special limited release comes in a unusual but deliciously collectible transparent yellow 10” vinyl with a remarkable and equally sinister painting by new york-based artist emily marchesiello, art director and co-founder of the galerie project. she specializes in fantasy animal portraiture art, via ink, water color and oil paint. project london

high mobility weapons unit sets off from an unknown location on earth, making its maiden voyage beyond our solar system and towards a distant galaxy. the transverse velocity ep is the debut release on the self-titled imprint, serving up four original tracks that are heavily influenced by mechanical cycles and deep space concepts. the a-side kicks off with the eps title track transverse velocity, where an array of eroded satellite bleeps and waves loop together as the analogue low-end pulsates rhythmically below. in wave 102 the bleeps are detuned and erratically timed, with a glitchy tape delay unit modulating them throughout the track. the saturated 808 kick drum and processed percussion are given a functional structure, allowing the bleeps to take centre stage. on the b-side, both cycle 01 and astronomy tool serve as stripped-back percussive dj tools. cycle 01 rolls along with its hollow, muted polyrhythmic stab line, whilst astronomy tool drives forward with an effective, crystalline synth hit. mastered by black monolith studios.

another neat aural object has been sighted on turntables lately dealing with listeners on dancefloors and at beyond typical event horizons. the moving groove of this vinyl always comes to you vibrating, moody and murky. caring for you in every moment and every located area.

here is what being with your back to a psychedelic wall and deciding you got to go diy makes you do. raw, crisp, and simply honest 115 bpm organ techno with a distorted soul. two takes of it featuring a left-handed chord intro so surreal the exposition will softly draw you in before you realise you just got caught in drum loop heaven. this is a white label release with music played from the heart and live recorded straight to l/r on an old used cassette tape. mastered and cut by matt & barry at alchemy in london. the record comes in a black cover with a handwritten and burgundy riso printed 120g paper inlay.

throw is the 1st track here, which manages to loop a refrain and bass that candy staton anthem, all the while sounding like a forgotten moodymann mpc jam. vocals, skipping snares, a bouncing tambourine & one of the finest bassline ever written (by someone else) compell you to dance. need your love is a heads down sample house jam. it’s looping vocal, super tight drums, woozy chord stabs and sirens make it feel like the result of a studio session between a 90’s dubbed out louie vega & man-like switch (before he went feral).

lxury returns with an all greco remix package of square 1 featuring deptford goth. joe goddard starts off the record with his quirky adaptation of square 1, followed by the mysterious v.o.x and their spacey dub edit. on the b side george t & jean gabriel becker bring their 90s dat loop sound to the table and to round things off we have the original cut of square 1 featuring deptford goth. prepare for 4 tracks of peculiar melodics, 90s dat loops, and blissed out cuts...

kicking things off on the a side is herbie s jam , an effortlessly cool house edit of the legendary jazz pioneer that features an infectious piano loop, live drums and a funky bassline which we re sure is going to become a staple at day time parties and sunset sets this summer. there s also an incredibly smooth and soulful trumpet sample to complete the jam and tie everything together. on the flip you ll find a more up beat and peak time affair called oliver that keeps the same jam session vibe as on the a side, but this time employs sultry organ keys, breezy guitar licks, and a truly groovy saxophone contribution that makes you just want to get up and move. just as with their previous releases, this is a hand stamped, limited, 12- that won t be around for long.

nice price deal !!! what happens far away from pointless party spots, boring student clubs, werder bremen and the smelly station forecourt full of piss, in this beautiful, grey city next to the river? more than before, we checked the musical output of the town, listened to recordings from friends and dug the archive. back to the origin of our intention – having a platform for all the artists who surround us in our dynamic environment and structures. for the five year anniversary of zckr records: a journey through warehouses, rehearsal rooms, workshops and studios of people who create the art we appreciate and who let us look to the future with a great sense of enthusiasm.

with dan curtin on the 4th release, melodymathics has undoubtedly one of the key players in the development of electronic music as we know it today. with *deserted station dan curtin is as innovative and vital as he has ever been. this funky production, with the typical dan curtin edge, covers the sound of the past, the present and the future.
*i want you*, the result of a collaboration between 3 belgian talents, discovered by melodymathics. amtek&e-freak ft. mike ekim are bringing the contemporary club sound, though remaining funky and soulful, with catchy vocals. a real dancefloor killer!
melodymathics holds the tradition alive to indulge the vinyl djs. this time the funky loops are provided by the mysterious melodymann and sjef wanders.

new 4 track 12 inch release from mickey pearce for swamp 81 sublabel, 81.

psyth launches with the debut ep from rob shields. with a delicate urgency driven by a pulsating post-punk bassline, shards lavishes layer upon rich layer of sound, evoking the cool grooves of peaking lights and chromatics, while a shimmering vocal sample from rebecca sawyer adds an otherworldly sense of longing that echoes through the soul of the release. silhouetted appears more conventional and dance-floor friendly next to shards, but under the surface is something unique and strangely exotic. a mantra-like melody loop gives a nod to minimalist composer terry riley and his solo organ works, while world instruments such as an african kalimba and tibetan singing bowl only heighten the hypnotic and intoxicating quality even further.

great tracks and collabs of tito wun, mannmademusic and s3a. dedicated to the moodymann and herbie hancock fans ! raw and quality sound for these huge sample based house music songs. music is feeling, music is meeting. this project is the result of crossroads between 3 great samplebased house music producers. mannmademusic, tito wun (with lorenzo merluzzo) and s3a. one track of mannmademusic, one track of tito wun and two collas with the owner of sampling as an art label , s3a.

deep in the heart of the ghetto, on the mean streets of chicago s infamous southside, a music pioneer was born... dj slugos rerelease - freaky ride from dance mania 225 (1997) and - in the clouds from ghetto series 009 (1996).

where his previous effort, 2014s *the hollow organ*, dealt in dense, distressed sonics, *olympic mess* is younger responding to a period spent engaged with loop-based industrial music, dub techno, and balearic disco. these musical references, all of which can induce hypnotic states and feelings of euphoria, inform ten evocative aural landscapes which unfurl over the course of an hour and act almost as a counterpoint to the turmoil that spawned them.
mastered and cut by rashad becker at d&m, pressed on 140g 2x12 inch lp, download code included. features photography by kim thue and artwork by bill kouligas.

limited edition of 400 on clear vinyl with screen printed artwork. organic analogue records returns to present its second release from georgian producer hvl. away from everything we know, is the perfect balance struck between a meditative state and playful electronic experimentation, for all its subtlety it s an incredibly detailed piece of work that deals in myriad layers of tone and pulse. to bring a fresh perspective, la-based artist gabriel reyes-whittaker, perhaps better known for his gifted & blessed project, steps into the reflektor guise to drop a plush remix of away from everything we know

warm, washy chords collide with bubbling, subterranean acid and crunchy drum work on this subtly epic debut from swiss newcomer, tissu, with his trippy delay-drenched synths giving everything an astral-aquatic quality.

steve murphys curiously long shadow casts itself ever further over the realms of gritty house and techno with a barn-storming follow up on the lobster theremin core series, this time ratcheting up the tempo and rhythm to epic levels. shed-esque kicks thunder over asteroid-crumbling basslines, crackling wooden percussion is slammed into the muggy dirt and leaves, seriously filthy, rolling numbers for the all night crew.
*uk treatment* kicks and thumps in all the right places, with a stuttering synth stab loop and vocals giving it some serious peak time currency. *spleen* is all sludgy, skittering mpc business, while *rules* goes off-key chicago and *total recall 2084* swims around, pestered in the mud until a lonely, droning piano key scares away the flanged swarm of wasps and noise.

vilod = ricardo villalobos & max loderbauer
it is a smart and airy groove of atoms in space that rules this mesmerizing album, leading off with an irresistibly deconstructed downbeat monstrosity deceptively tagged as the modern hit midget as opposed to actually being a giant. one giant of seven, to be precise: safe in harbour are the seven giants of free funk who proceed through a variety of way-out psychedelicacies. which increase in flavour under headphones. the wane of villalobos and loderbauers free-floating energy of their re:ecm work is more than offset here by the increase in rhythmic push through sensual syncopation and eruptive bass energy. the duo is the impetus in perlons great new swinging machine....
ps , as an additional feature each vinyl side contains a hidden floorfriendly dj loop

with a quiet intensity over the last 12 years, strategy has proven himself to be an incredibly resourceful and rewarding musician in both group settings and as a solo artist. in the latter guise, this portland producer/multi-instrumentalist (aka paul dickow) has released a prolific amount of excellent work for quality indie labels such as kranky, idle hands, 100% silk, endless flight, and entracte, putting a cerebral yet sensual spin on dub, ambient, post rock, and house music.
the vinyl lp includes a download code.

title track joyride kicks things off with a straight up 909 beat, complete with scifi sweeps and classic wood block percussion, quickly working its way into an very subtle groove with every element working effectively to keep it fully funk laden. sideways completes the a side of the release and gets going right from the beginning. pumping percussion takes hold and hits the ground running before a perfectly weighted synth hook lashes over the top with henning playing with the synths lfo to creative effect. dust takes things down a notch as swirling pads drape themselves over a serious 909 beat. henning lets this one loop out, letting the subtle variations in the synths do the work as the 909 holds the beat solid and reminiscent of early berlin/detroit dub techno crossovers. mars attacks closes of the ep and does so in particularly fine fashion. a more broken beat affair this time from henning and he really works his machines into a sonic warfare of bass tones and tweaked out synths that sear through the crashing percussion workout.

in a time before cdj loop buttons and stone-cold arrangement techniques, bonus beats and beat records were a vital tool for aspiring, working and tone-deaf djs. the third release in an unofficial beat-tracks sublabel (se redshape and todd osborn for further reference) rhythm trainx vol 1 tries to breathe new life into that lost craft with an all-star cast: manuel tur, i:cube, blank spanner, disco nihilist, Âme and radio slave. all in different bpm, varying styles and (un)fortunately a bit more than simple kick-drum-hi-hat patterns. built to last.

from ben thomas aka bnjmn comes an entirely new and different project, brack. following a string of excellent releases for the likes of rush hour and delsin, the berlin-based british producer has launched his own imprint. its inaugural release promises to simultaneously satisfy long-time listeners, and throw them for a loop.

opener -she loves it- layers graceful elements, drifting sounds, pirouetting percussion and lets them slowly roll in like a thick fog. bvoice,anrilov & sickdisco deliver a more minimalistic version of -she loves it-. this guys are a great trio from moscow, analog gurus, already released on pro-tez, highway, time has changed, body parts. on the other side we have another piece of material from kirik called somewhere, which does the same job with similar elements. its melodious drum loop is the fulcrum around which densely layered hi-hats, shakers and various pads bounce and rotate. label boss, dirty culture deliver a more driven house version of somewhere, a more digestiv aproach. good vibes and melodic grooves from eastern europe, on wax!

californian modular synthesizer and audio equipment producter tiptop audio is proud to introduce a new project for 2015: tiptop audio records. in the recent years musical productions have seen a remarkable return to the use of hardware through analog synthesizers and digital control interfaces. this trend has proven so strong that it prompted a rebirth of modular synths in a new format (eurorack). tiptop audio has made a name producing sophisticated but easy to use modules, designed to form a complete system that is especially effective for dance-oriented productions and live sets. tiptop audio records selected for its first issue some of the most groundbreaking artists using such systems, to present a range of artists who, through their tracks, explore the landscape of dance music in a very fresh perspective. these are the artists who inspire the tiptop team to make more innovative devices, which in turn make new music (a nice feedback loop).

uk techno stalwart steve bicknells lost recordings series must be one of the longest running in dance music, the lost and cosmic founder has been putting out previous unheard material from his early 90s heyday on and off since 2004. there are few surprises on this 10th edition, but plenty of slamming, no-holds-barred grooves. the hissing, spacey, cymbal-heavy track 3 is particularly trippy, while theres a gnarled, ragged intensity about the pulsating heaviness of track 1. arguably best of all, though - ambient interlude track 2 aside - is track 4, an eerie techno shuffler built around a wonky, off-key electric piano loop and fizzing percussion.

2015 repress ...fatty fatty phonographics is a new label out of dublin determined to dispense with lazy loop button editing and get back to the original point - to make great songs work better on the dancefloor.

nice price deal !!! special vinyl alert! after the succesful yagya and deepchord album release we are proud to present the follow up. this is a 21min trip into deep and mystical techno. b-side features 20 useful loops. limited edition.

specials : 4x stl locked groove remixes - only second time he has done remixes in his career! and first time in the history of vinyl that original tracks were abstracted into locked groove remixes!
a quest for form which is never static and accompanied by two constants - repetition and reduction. reduction requires repetition in order to make the intangible tangible for man. this repetition also stimulates our perception and helps us find an inner self while illuminating towards the primal thought. another synonym for *intangible* is *not human* - for the most reductive of primal thoughts, sprung from fractal chance, does not deal with human beings but with a formal language that is universal, drawing from the innermost, and only becomes tangible in accidental, fortuitous moments.

*** vinyl only *** already rinsed by ricardo vilalobos & craig richards !

vinyl only! dragosh delivers with impact his track brinit . set on a traveling percussion loop, playfully adventurous and filled with an ever growing energy. a warm melodic female vocal in contrast to a technical voice cut draws the listener in to feel the energy with no chance to get tired. rhadoo and cezar take the voice out and put it into a new context. with their focus firmly on the groove, and adding some extra synths they create with finesse, a proper trip... reducing the vocals into whistles and layering a rather mysterious noise, they masterfully turn this remix into something totally hypnotizing...damn good too

arsat is the first argentinian telecom satellite launched into orbit. arsat gets the rocket ready to ignition: a repeated stabs loop manages the take-off with success. on remix duties, up-and-coming argentinian talent julixo delivers a jacking chicago-style interpretation of arsat. with beltran, the rocket starts its launch into space: although fast paced, the track brings some harmonious dubby elements and nice violins in the mix to calm down the expecting crowd: it s all going to be ok. formula ends the e.p. like a celebration of the satellite s geostationnary slot: a hard hitting, percussion driven, techno track where the stabs penetrate deep under your skin. not for the faint hearted!

side a - boom, boom - deep swing bassline with a poetic vox that keep the dancers dancing with a old school blues loop, that make you say -boom, boom-!
side b - slow down - funky beat, simple chords, efx that make you move in away to grab a lady so fast you have to slow down to enjoy sounds.

so the story goes: a few years ago i played a cool underground party in stockholm with my good friend and crazy record collector mark seven. early on that night mark played me this beautiful and melancholic piece of music. mark happily handed me his spare copy and my record collection for a second felt a little more complete… originally released as a b-side track to als slipshod ep on out of the loop the track continued to mesmerize whenever i played it and the fact that so many people loved it and equally as many didn’t know the record i though a re-release could be a great idea. it’s inclusion on gerd janson’s recent sonar kollektiv compilation and the fact that it’s been played by legendary dj harvey ( o bearded one as he’s known to by the initiated)has obviously helped to spread it’s fame to. now hopefully showing it’s full potential we bring you the remastered “lullaby for robert” with a whole bunch of remixes made with love by remixers spellbounded by it’s magic. on part 1 we bring you : the original + bogdan irkük remix part 2 will include reworks by mark seven, gatto fritto and yours truly toot toot beep beep,

sam irl returns to jazz & milk with his latest *free two grow ep*, two years after his last solo release for the label (*slower bavarian ep*, 2012). he has continued to develop his sample- & analogue synthesizer-based music further, keeping things raw and warm at the same time. the ep starts off with the title track *free two grow*, an mpc live jam built around a hypnotic loop slowly developing into a heavy synth-driven deep house tune.

the third issue of raw waxes’ release number four is on the way. after featuring mike parker, haiku, inigo kennedy and korova as remixers of the noisemaker, this time we see abstract division and blind observatory reinterpreting ‘shuttle’, the final track of the series. shuttle starts with a fat kick and a psychedelic synth, bleep and acid elements go back and forth, up and down, appearing from the gloom of the artist’ soul. hi-­&#8208,,,hats, acid and bleep evolve together, embracing acidity and generating a naughty groove. abstract division’s reinterpretation is clearly a 4/4 dance floor oriented. based on the evolution of the acid patterns as a minded loop, the dutch duo adds 909 hi-­&#8208,,,hats and claps, modify the the kick-­&#8208,,, bass structure, reaching a trusted track for exciting moments into clubs. blind observatory’s remix is the gentle side of the record. starting slowly and lightly, the artist sets a mellow synth plus clean hi-­&#8208,,,hats, turning the production into a sweet idm caress. a personal, delicate cut appraising the entire release.

the nose of clarity (one + two) is obscure and mystical techno with a hypnotism rhythm construct. part one is coming for the long nights in the clubs and bringing darkness dance moves. part two is more deeper and darker with a slowly trippy and layered loop sound. on the flip side the obsession (from don«t«be on acid ) dwntmpos rework is downtempo sound in perfection. the rhythm is going straight in the head and bring the deepness with a slowly pitched vocal in front of all understanding. the second rework is more dub influenced with warm chords, delays and echos from a other galaxy. the vinyl is hand stamped and numbered and comes with a a4 graphic art print. mastering by xergio c—rdoba at eternal midnight mastering studio madrid, spain
