a compelling musical trip of drifting repetition in rhythm and melody. the album was recorded entirely in his studio in the wedding district of berlin, on the shore of the panke river, his new favourite part of a city.

fideles is the joint moniker of italian duo daniele aprile and mario roberti, who have carved out a niche for their distinctive brand of deep, techy house on noted labels such as defected, be as one, and marco resmann’s upon you, among others. here on their first outing for poker flat recordings, the duo cook up four courses of lean, focussed tech-house for steve bug’s seminal imprint. ‘detuned’ starts the journey - an edgy, tense groove exhibiting the boy’s masterful sound design and use of space to create a thick, intoxicated atmosphere. ‘i’m rude’ is more direct - a thumping bass drum introduces a low slung bass groove, slowly evolving and mutating into a true party-starter. ‘worthy’ uses similar building blocks but delivers a different vibe altogether, revelling in a minimalist production aesthetic and cheeky bass riff. ‘ran baran’, the title track, is another lesson in great production - each element perfectly balanced to create an atmosphere of controlled mayhem - which is exactly the response this entire ep aims to instigate on dancefloors.

release & versand am 29.08.2016 atrophic society regulars echologist and vohkinne are joined by new friends dj spider and material object for the label s first various artists release. kicking things off with his regular sleek touch, echologist delivers our favourite track of his to date in the aptly titled splatter ballistics cop, with trademark large low end and analog squelches aplenty. dj spider follows with a clanking, reverberating behemoth full of dark drones and unsettling background noise entitled necro nebula. material object injects his track wipe out with supercharged urgency, envoking the kind of late night, dark, floor burner we re particularly fond of. finally, vohkinne wraps the ep up with null, heavy and hammering in all the right ways.

nice price deal !!! orphan101 makes his return to the saigon recordings imprint and rides the success of his recent 2-tracker on appleblim’ applepips label. this 3 track ep really serves to showcase the diversity of sounds coming from the orphan camp, from the 4 to the floor techno stomper that is >into you<, to the deep meditative low slung >baracca< to the down-right abstract >typical<. file under bass!

downfall theory embarks on a new chapter as it hosts a full release from a producer other than its owner, sanys. myztical isn’t exactly a newcomer though, and the ukrainian producer has already two releases to his credit on nicz records. given the title of his debut on downfall theory, it is no surprise to learn that myztical is using it as a means to question reality. inspired by the science fiction writer philip k dick and decades of electronic music, he certainly succeeds on venturing into uncharted territories on the title track. muffled, repetitive vocal samples, an atonal rhythm and relentless, slightly distorted kicks show that quite often, simplicity is the most potent ingredient. on “faith of our fathers”, myztical disappears farther down the wormhole. splintered rhythms, deranged howls and a deranged filter push his vision for broken beat techno into the abyss. “substance d” sees the ukrainian hotshot return to a more linear approach, pounding kicks underpin ghostly shrieks before a breakdown sees the track descend into grimy, woody mcbride-style acid. the accompanying vocal sample, the embodiment of a bad trip, only serves to accentuate the track’s darkly hallucinogenic qualities. finally, there’s “shifted realities” - it revisits the jagged filters of “faith of our fathers”, but does so against the backdrop of a pounding industrial kick and a grungy, low-slung rhythm.

two thousand has always been the official symbol of the future. two thousand has been told, represented, drawn and played centuries before the year two thousand. and now it s past. -i don t wanna get rid of this: all the changes you re making now, will simply belong to two thousand. we belong to two thousand-. white label 10- w/ unknown edits that dig heavily into jazz samples but they go beyond, creating sonic impro jams including menacing low pitched arpeggios, celestial breaks of synths and far away lights of a black continent pulsating under the crisp mastering work. included is a nice printed poster with artwork from 2000 himself.

nice price deal !!! one half of the prolific hoxton whores, kevin andrew delivers a no nonsense slice of heads down house, perfectly tweaked to add a real edge to the dancefloor. stabby synths and a low slung bassline are the main features, whilst the track bubbles along with recognizable hooky riffs and enough breakdowns to make any discerning house crowd rock! danish hotshot, and one man remix machine, kid massive joins the party on the flip adding in a tougher constructed percussive feel whilst chopping up the groove.

bob marley is still immensely popular, even 20 years after his passing. reason enough for music on vinyl to reissue bob marley & the wailers 1974 album >natty dread<.
the oft-covered >no woman, no cry<, the infectious and captivatingly cool >lively up yourself<, the ska-inclined >rebel music<: this is just a hint at what >natty dread< has to offer.
we cant expect any new bob marley songs, but we can gladly rediscover his classics over and over again. time to put these tunes on heavy rotation!

after 2 revered releases since the turn of the year, weekend circuit return, welcoming alfredo mazzilli for his first ep on the imprint. versatile in sound and challenging in his approach, alfredos invisible entity ep masterfully pushes ambitious ideas with great vigor to an international audience ever more ready to listen. with artists such as donato dozzy, aphex twin, sandwell district, dino sabatini and substance making up a strong part of his most notable influencers, alfredo favours the ambient & deep depths of the dark side of techno. enigmatic and unrestricted, side a starts with alfredo s original invisible entity. a steadily unfolding juggernaut, the emerging energy soon engulfs the entirety of the track, percussian transcending the gloaming synth sound throughout. zadig s beckoning bass and kick drum driven remix will see sonic nods across the club with this four-on-the-floor gristle. statiform region is techno s answer to a cinematic interlude. a testament to alfredos lilting synth ability. no way out kicks off the b side, with a algorithmic tinkering of sonic vs low hits and stabs. rounding up, echologist does what echologist does best a scattershot of intertwined and precarious techno sound, spliced with industrialised power

drawing off the sound of his earlier work, the space loop ep mashes together the more ambiguously low pass-filtered style of ambient house with the thumping and racheting sounds of space station manoeuvring, interstellar mechanics and cloud-skimming high-altitude plane excursions.

this record was written with the intention of conveying classic aspects of house music. track names such as “paradise garage”, “the warehouse” and “zanzibar club” come from monumental clubs that helped shape the history of house. it s true roots in chicago (the warehouse), to new york city (paradise garage) and new jersey (zanzibar club). this 12 features an heavy low end bass line surrounded by a fuzzy acid, brisk and grubby house beat, lush chords deliberately sitting alongside with crispy clear high end vocals. it s about respecting a legacy, the foundation.

work them records founder spencer parker presents the first in a trilogy of releases as brotherhood. the brotherhood moniker was originally coined as a way of differentiating parker s berghain appearances from his panorama bar appearances, hence why this series under the alias will be concentrated on techno. thudding kicks and eerie atmospherics pave the way in chapter one - a physical techno number that warps and changes throughout its almost 8 minute duration. chapter two then employs a twisted melody that works alongside a remorseless low-end throb until chapter three concludes the package with punchy percussion and echoing effect

freaks was originally the brain child of bournemouths justin harris and london-based luke solomon, but has mutated through its live format into a 6 piece outfit incorporating the infamous jonny rock on guitar, sascha darroch davies on drums, vocalist stella attar and rub on bass. with three albums behind them, a seminal label we know and love as music for freaks and a top 10 hit with >the creeps<, freaks have journeyed through filter disco, quirky mid tempo house and minimal techno to cement their own revolutionary style.

rediscovered 80’s british acid house gem ‘cortina kidz’ recently made a serious impact on andy butler’s mr. intl with remixes from factory floor and juan maclean & tim sweeney. hot on the heels, moscow’s lipelis’ steps in to remix with striking results. pitchfork enthused of the recent reissue being “a chilly acid-house track operating the influence of both soft cell and the specials,’ xlr8r as “drenched in dark and sleazy overtones, the track encapsulates a downtrodden time in london”, while ransom note noted “cortina kidz is more than just an old skool oddity- it s a banger that s stood the test of time”. originally recorded on london’s stoke newington road in 1987, produced by a young tim brinkhurst ahead of his imminent record deal with virgin records with his band soho, and long before his current role as manager of mercury prize winners, young fathers, ‘cortina kidz’ remained undiscovered and the eccentric spoken word overlay and weird lead vocal made it very unlike the prevailing dance music sound of the time. leonid lipelis explains that “since it’s a reissue of a relatively unknown record it gave me a certain freedom of expression (when it’s something well known and classic you re likely to produce something more serious). i came up with more of a pop song, structured with a vocoder for the main version and had fun playing with vocal samples for the dub mix, paying homage to the 80s sound in both.- lipelis’ recent release on lies records has gained him support from four tet to dimitri from paris. he also runs a side project for hardware jams called tmo and co-runs low budget family records.

one of the founding members of apollonia, shonky was responsible for his label’s very first release back in 2012 with ‘the minneapolis touch’. outside of working on the trio’s debut lp ‘tour a tour’, shonky has been relatively quiet on the solo tip. here on apollonia’s 25th release we’re treated to four new cuts from the berlin-based parisian, kicking off with plombie&#768,,re (plumber in english). shonky injects a variety of unusual sounds, which revolve around a jaunty bassline, while voices dip in and out of the background, repeating the mantra ‘house music’ together with other difficult to decipher vocal clips. the track has a catchy rhythm that bounces along with aplomb. up next ‘house me’ is a sleazy, mischievous cut with a deadly low end and a seductive vocal that urges you to ‘house me’. as the bassline rumbles, high pitched effects add a hypnotic element to the track. badboy business.on the b-side we have ‘perchee’, which is powered by cleverly layered percussion, which is almost ‘live’ sounding. another one of those ‘shonky’ basslines gets us straight into the groove, with utterly contagious beats – this is one to shake the dance floor down its core. finally, ‘cosmopolis’ has that inner city realness flowing through with the chatter of a street corner in the background, a killer b-line and one of those classic vocal samples that is oh so familiar and gets you nodding your head as soon as you hear it. and there it is, four dance floor cuts with plenty of depth and groove in true shonky style… c est formidable!

people must jam s ninth record is from one of our favourite djs and producers. a guy who has a ridiculously large back catalogue and in our opinion it is a crime that some of his records haven t received bigger recognition. a true master of house and hip hop music, kid sublime has been putting out amazing records since 2001. his own label dopeness galore literally does exactly what it says on the tin. even before we launched people must jam s label we wanted kid sublime to be a part of it. now finally we are stoked to present this ep... four serious cuts for four different vibed floors - look out! first up kid s homage to techno legend ben sims with bang like sims a driving deep techno groove. strong percussion, deep stabs and that unrelenting beat are going to ensure this one gets some love on the harder edged, heavier dance floors. we the people heads a little down the tribal route with some afro inspired percussion, haunting samples and that kalimba! dropping a really infectious riff before beautiful piano melodies drift in and out of the mix. wonderful stuff. the title track i like em dirty , we feel, is a lesson in proper deep house. classic sounding house beats, little guitar licks, deep stabs and the vocal sample combine for this perfect house cut. massive. the ep is rounded out with another cut in tribute to the legend that was kenny hawkes. another master of his craft - kenny sadly now passed on but his spirit is well and truly alive in this fitting tribute. one 4 kenny features strong percussion, low bass, deep stabs and slamming beats = cracking stuff

bar musica is a brand new label that promises to inject plenty of charm and originality into the underground house and techno world. the first release kicked up quite a storm from label owner bartolomeo, and the second release features a trio of great originals by j paraguai, with a remix from long time electronic talent bruno pronsato. rumba is up first and is a full fat, corrugated house track with tribal percussion, punchy drums that swing down low and afro vocals. it is a dynamite groove with roughshod tin pot hits that are carefully treated and bring a lovably wild side to the track. thesoundsays founder and berlin based new yorker bruno pronsato has been on the fringes of the underground for more than a decade with inventive eps and lps on labels like hello? repeat and bosconi. his remix is stripped back to a forceful and rubbery techno groove. blistered synths rip up the middle and spooky voices, trippy effects and manic loops all make it a freaky late night or after-hours tune that will send floors wild. ble is then another j paraguai, and this one is again unhinged and urgent, with intense synths exploding above shuffling, tightly knotted minimal drums and sweeping pads. it’s pure wtf music for brave djs and dancers and is a truly original production. then last original atles is rugged and impactful in the way in combines house and techno into new ideas. it is stripped back to little chopped loops that bury deep in your brain and have you in a trance in no time. as such, it rounds out a fine ep and keeps this exciting new label going off in great style.

physical therapy makes his debut on spencer parker s work them records with a medley of club focused techno cuts. growing up in new jersey, physical therapy later moved to chicago, then new york, before finally settling in berlin where he s quickly built a profile as a stand out dj/producer. baktadust comes in the form of two tracks: the fast tempo main mix that combines peppy piano riffs and metallic effects, as well as a slower fried mix featuring cleaner chords and a sultry bassline. push me then demonstrates robust percussion, a rumbling low-end and eerie tremolo atmospherics before shadowy echoes and off kilter kicks conclude the release in spasm.

‘circular dispute’ is an exploration that incorporates soft textures, mellow kicks and changes in bass pressure to convey mystical movement. the rigid half-time marker slowly fades in, turning circular pressure into a subtle roller that simply defies the rules of gravity. hysee applies an even more intricate formula to ‘isolator’, one that bends attentive low-end textures and minimalistic percussion through time and space. the way it travels, progresses and ends makes this production a groove on its own & an excellent add to ‘vv003’. hysee’s last succession on the record strikes slowly but steadily, waves of deepening frequencies, mesmerising synths and arrhythmic choirs form the pendulum of his signature sound. this closing production allows listeners to drift off to another dimension or subconscious vibration. visceral vibrations’ third acquisition holds the talent of the italian producer hysee, who takes part in our lineage of forward-thinking bass music. with a review hosted by the trusted fatkidonfire blog and airplay support by influential artists, we’re ready to present ‘vv003’ to the world.

2016 is suppose to see 2 more release from bordel ensemble, with new talent and world to discover
