sistrum is overjoyed to announce the return of irelands leonid, who offers a proper follow up to his highly regarded debut sistrum ep, >sadim< (sis-009). the >j3 ep< pushes further down into the depths and brings forth timeless vibes for those who seek to shed the excess and get to the heart of the matter. and this matter is the groove - the kind of simple, effective groove that you can get lost in, the kind of groove that you can listen to forever and it just seems to get better the longer you listen to it. these are leonids grooves.

the third and final part of our coloured vinyl trilogy comes again as a limited edition and handnumbred. this time nick solÉ (mojuba) drops three classic us deep house flavoured tunes. on the a side the musical journey is called >earth< – steadily flowing and evolving and sometimes even getting lost in its melodies and harmonies while it keeps pushing forward with its hint of dub technoish spices. on the flip we have >beautiful day< which seems to be the perfect soundtrack for a long long sunny summer day or morning. imagine the sun rising above some trees on the horizon and this track played out loud after a long dark night. finally we have >you are my life< as a bonus track to finish of our trilogy! its dedicated to bring some colour, joy and friendliness into your life or set! this time the artwork has been done by cialex, who is the man behind the flyers of famous >golden pudel club< in hamburg and the groove release parties in horst krzbrg

coloured vinyl! gal aner and jordan czamanski aka juju & jordash from amsterdam are longtime favourites of ours and we are very proud to present them finally on philpot! this 12inch contains their psychedelic-kraut-techno >tattoos island< in three fantastic cuts! the original is a tension-laden epic rising like a hot tropic thunderstorm leaving you electrified to the bone. the dub version strips it down a bit and changes the tone mid-track to a more techy-edge - spiritual, snaredriven and dubbed out to oblivion.tom tragos >lost in the jungle< remix gives the track a whole new twist, the storm is over and here comes the sun! enjoy your summer and see you back in september!

ltd new years deal - jin choi returns to archipel to release his second 12inch in archipels vinyl series entitled -dig your own out-. just as masterful as his first archipel 12inch, jins second coming is surrounded by an aura of warmth and is highly jazz influenced providing the birthing ground for his fervently smokey textures. lost and found initiates with warm rhythms and a gentle chord pulse which grows into a sunny melody whose beams set alight slowly drifting chains of saccharine smoke. >hurtlocker< features sultry acoustic guitar and piano melodies at its core which are woven tightly and hypnotically into an expertly stitched dance of subtle textures which wind about each other into the small hours of the morning. >dig your own out< continues on a similar path with a gentle piano melody which is rhythmically set just so in an atmosphere of early morning mist and streams of heady rhythmic waves which are constantly in subtle states of change while they bring with them in tow an ardent series of gently warped textures.

supported by:2000 and one, adam beyer, bart skils, booka shade, dj madskillz, dubfire, marco bailey, marco carola, oxia, pete tong, riva starr, sebastien leger, solomun, yousef. >carambolo< is a true kaiserdisco tune, working with vocals and merry go around sounds, but special for this track is its drumming in the in-between of beats!&#8232,,,,we have lost count of the numerous small drum digits they have added, but you can be sure the kaiserdiscos have done it with full dedication and passion and the music seems to flow out of them like the blood and sweat circulating through the veins of the dancer.&#8232,,,,we dont want to forget the scream of an indian at some stage in this track...

in the dark shadows of the rooftops of haknam we meet esc.eip, who enriches haknams second release with his affinity for deconstruction. his elements appear, melt and fade away to materialise in a deep, winding, dusky jam. the ever transforming structures contrast paranoid harmonies with the forceful percussive rolls, as in >unsound behaviour<. on the b side is >miraa<, the aftertaste of a blissed out acid trip, soft shades build a warm space in which a lost saxophone appears and disappears.

supplement facts continues to offer some of the best in new emerging artists & long-time talent, working closely with a powerhouse of producers aiming to make music for you to dance, ponder, and ultimately…to love. going from strength to strength, the last release (till von seins epic >sundowna<) guy gerber, label boss, returns into the fray after his hugely successful >my invisible romance< long-player with his new >hate/love e.p.< featuring three tracks of equal beauty and brooding menace.

its been a heady few months for d julzs bass culture imprint. the response and support from the dj world has been overwhelming, and this is of course down to the wonderful a&r skills of the label chief. now, with bass cultures 8th release, we are pleased to bring you the slit e.p. - greek producer, john dimas is well known for his live performances, as well as his djing skills in his town of thessaloniki & throughout europe. his sound spans the styles of techno, acid & more specifically – house music, which he performs in the club, across 3 turntables. stil quite new to the world of production, john dimas has his sights set high, having remixed the likes of fischerspooner – and now, he comes with his very first release on bass culture, adding his grecian flavour. the >slit e.p.< is a package that spans tech house, house & deep house… the original title track is dark, but rich & rides the groove nicely. the chez damier >late night mix< is exactly that – supple and full of just the right touch of deep quirkiness for late night sessions.

its a bakers dozen for ray mangs ever reliable mangled imprint! despite being more than adept at mining out long lost classics & wielding the edit scissors, ray has asked us to make it clear that this ep, much like the last couple of mangled releases are original works (sure there are a few samples here and there, but hey!) what you can be sure of is that this mighty trio are super effective where it counts, thoroughly road-tested and very much in demand as with everything on mangled the revived label and rays recent smash on dfa, not to mention his accomplished dj sets, has pushed him back to the forefront of a scene he was instrumental in forming. having been behind a plethora of releases on cult uk nu-disco labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc over the years he has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more.

dj duke, unsung hero of deep house ingenuity, receives a deserved and absolutely essential reissue from nycs slow to speak imprint. one of the lost masters of the abundant deep house community of the early 1990s, duke epitomized the queen-infused, deeply fierce insular dialogue of new yorks most outcaste underground. part of his ode to deep house staples of yesteryear lost, >heard< live up to their namesake, instrumental electronic masterpieces that disregard the concerns of conventional standardization while retaining the indisputable efficacy of nys exploratory antiestablishment. emotive, depthtful and totally accessible, >core 1995< is the first re-visitation of forward-looking genius that will continue to epitomize slow to speaks retroactive genius, speaking more to the potential inventiveness of dance music than its former vivacity. highly recommended.

a: in deep bluesetting the tone for the ep, raw, infectious beats unwind against a smokey, textural backdrop. funky, alive and certainly full of ideas, the swinging groove bomb expands and contracts over 8 minutes of blissful modern house. ruff chord dives and ear massaging question-answer hooks lead the way for funked-out guitar riffs and more!

we lost track of rocco branco nearly 5 years ago. no >goodbye<, nothing, he simply vanished off the grid. a few days ago, mr. branco staggered into the hirsch camp, smelling of sex and jaegermeister, no explanation. no apologies. rocco simply handed over two tracks, turned around, and walked away... diamant captures the sex of a one-night stand. a metaphysical launch pad of selfindulgence. no compromises, purely physical, firm and purposeful – precisely how we like our techno. gibbon depicts sex with a lover – reminiscent of gratifications past. familiar, nubile and polished a mastered motion of lustful appetite. in roccos return, we find a record of lifes carnal moments. good hunting!

2004 classic presented by nick & danny chatelain!!

lil tony is hotter than hot. while starting to dj and produce years ago, tony has been a staple in the scandinavian club scene since the early 90s. an amazing dj (actually one of the favourites around the moodmusic hq) and a talented producer, tony started with the fbi project with roberto rodriguez and kimmo oksanen before dropping some serious damage on raw trax vol. 1 last year on moodmusic. caned by everyone from luciano (he edited his own version of semble) to dj hell, tonys raw grooves cut the crap and moved people when other producers had to take a leak. hardworking, never forgetting his gentleman manners, tony is here to stay and raw trax vol. 2 is a bold new statement, and his best work to date. solid state takes the classic detroit influenced drum machine vs piano theme a step forward, a impeccable jam of 15 minutes with the beat keeping the pace, this has been roadproofed the last 6 months to good effect. the b-side karamba is a dry, tight driven tech-workout, perfect mixtool for the deeper techno as well as housier sets. it just works well. the closing checkpoint charlie is a tale of >lost in helsinki< – dark mean bass wanders around and gives space for the chuggin main line, monotonic body music at its best.

if there is one thing you really need to do in 2010 - it s get i really! ..the bridge were techno and house meets in a perfect symbiosis! loved and played out by luciano, 2000 and one, d julz, adam beyer, karotte amongst many other!

the second and final voyage direct remix ep. four remixes from homeland amsterdam.
aardvarck, boris werner, san proper and sotu the traveler deliver the goods here and do what they do best, creating a diverse set of mixes. boris delivers an even deeper mix of >lost in the streets of nyc<, which is already being played by the likes of ricardo villalobos et al. aardvarck roughens up >on the side< in his well-known cultcopy style. while san proper discofies >use me< and sotu morphs the title track into a dubstep/house hybrid. new shit!

adult only presents their last series of remixes originally from the catwash album, to be released at the beginning of 2010. a1 : the full side is an energetic remix of >groovabilisme< by dutch producer kabale und liebe (100 % pure, area remote). he displays his hypnotic groove in this bouncy track b1 : >lost in bucarest< remix by william kouam djoko (thirty one twenty) , who released a track on tobi neumann & onur ozers mix green & blue 2009 (cocoon) and boris werner (area remote, moon harbor). here is a sunny and tribal remix made by two of the newest talents from amsterdam. b2 > lost in bucarest< national jacking remix by phil weeks, the boss of french label robsoul. constant pressure and slightly euphoric feeling on this techy track.

well known for her electrifying panoramabar sessions, representing her love for all things deep, sensual and musical about house music steffis talent has blossomed out of her relationship with the musically entwined cities of amsterdam and berlin.
her touching, classic-jack inspired productions continue to gracefully bubble towards the international surface with this 12 inch. her debut cut for the label, >24 hours<, featured on tama sumos >panoramabar 02< compilation set out her production intentions quite eloquently. >kill me< continues the warm, traveling night-time vibes and opens steffis signature sound up into a full vocal-led celebration of house.
besides steffis killer chicago inspired throb and moody melodic structure, >kill me< features the sultry vocal talents of close friend elif bicer, also recording partner of label mates prosumer and murat tepeli. elifs tender and instinctive story of a love lost and found flows honestly and creatively throughout the vocal version. an instrumental dub is also included for the creative use of the dj.
steffi also shows off her skills with the >crushed soul< mix, allowing her intuitive, sentimental yet dancefloor tuned chord progressions to flow stronger. baassline led and focused on clean, precisely measured beats and synth lines to tell the story, this alternative version goes even further to suggest what treats are yet to come from this talented producer.

sometimes a loop is more than a loop. patterns that appear repetitive arent that repetitive if you take a close listen. adding lopazzs voice to this epic track is the ingredient that injects that next level of energy, the mystic touch, the it. that voice seems to dance with and around the music. and with every twist, the listener is drawn deeper into mr raoul ks world build of warm bass and cautious beats. a place in which someone would easily get lost if there wasnt the voice to lead him throughout the long journey...

nice price deal !!! official release !
mind-blowing singles, eps, remixes (for the likes of simian mobile disco, little boots, royksopp, lykke li, au revoir simone…), a quickly-growing label (fondation records), and the night is his in most of the worlds major cities: danton eeprom had it all, to the exception of a long-playing record. after making a name for himself with hits like confessions of an english opium-eater, grindhouse or face control, it was time to go off the beaten path and show the way once again. would he go for a fairly logical sweat-ridden dancefloor riot? not precisely. not only. danton would make a revolution of his own, in dandy mode.
three words that will soon be on everyones lips: yes is more. in a cloud of smoke, over a tight booty beat and keys delving deep into thirty years of electronic music, the french londoner sings for good and is all axes out on >thanks for nothing<, making things clear from the very start.

must have disco classics!!

re-release der classic punkrockband the bristles aus schweden. 16 tracks, aufgenommen zwischen 1982-1984.

supported by dj sasha, rodriguez jr, chloe, sian, piemont, ivan smagghe!! the duo from cologne-dusseldorf is back with a monster track! >raedereichen< is a track that you cannot estimate before you have heard it loud. talking about minimalism and the lost magic of this genre this is a monster which creates its own genre of new techno-rave

its been a while since i:cube hasnt deliver some fresh cuts! was he lost in a software??? hes back (a new album is also scheduled) to his early naive, deep and twisted spirit, but with a super tight modern production... falling is a sleazy funk track, a slow burner, which contains all the elements who made i:cube one of the most respected and innovative producers around since more than a decade!! heavy groove, hypno bassline, references to the early disco-dub music. un dimanche sans fin (neverending sunday) was done (as its name says) a sunday night, one shot, at the versatile studio. cube reconnects with his seminal dub-techno love, a track full of space and emotion. i would describe operation hypnosis as sheffield house. a solid beat and some bleeps will bring the dancer into a mental spiral...

a rare conundrum ist 1977 wieder in england aufgenommen worden. bert jansch hat das album zusammen mit seinen kumpels rod clemens (bass/lindisfarne), pick withers (drums/der spaeter zu dire straits wechselte) sowie mike piggott (violin) aufgenommen.dieses album stellt f?r jansch eine kuenstlerische rueckkehr zu seinen folk wurzeln dar, es bietet wunderschoene folk instrumentals, sowie irische traditionals als auch langsame bluesstuecke an.

tiger supported by... rob da bank, kiko, markus kavka, mihalis safras, justin berkovi, ivan smagghe, orde meikle... moonbeam are back on traum! the russian brothers had a great year and have been voted as one of the top 100 djs worldwide by uk dj mag, in december 2009. we think they are wonderful, dedicated people who really deserve winning this award. with their new a-side track >tiger< moonbeam show their timeless quality and their deep knowledge of music, writing a seemingly simple but gigantic track. if you want to express in words what this track is like you might say it is a hybrid of joe beltrams >energy flash< fuelled with a melodic note and a lot of post-techno feeling. creating a revival of rave which so many people speak about, but so few actually reflect in theirproductions! the energy of this dark monumental new school acid track is counteracted by the two tracks on the flipside >land of the lost (strict mix)< and >zoo<. the b1-track >land of the lost< sounds like a soundtrack for a film set in a ghost-town in the midwest of the united states. a track that travels like a camera does... through different rooms of a deserted mansion. the b2-track >zoo< is the beat track of the record. it relies on its cool driving sequences and the hypnotic feeling it creates through them. adding small changes here and there that keep the track constantly going.
