airhead, (aka rob mcandrews) a resident, founding member and spiritual ocelot of the 1-800 dinosaur crew, will be releasing a four track ep *believe*, the first of a series of releases from dan foats emerging artist collective. this believe ep is a turning point for airhead, equivalent to the moment in the film *witness* when harrison ford, as john book, realises that the hitmen (witnessed by the amish kid in the toilets) are actually policemen. the inward has been exchanged for the outward. where airheads critically acclaimed debut album *for years* was all about tip-toeing barefoot into thick carpeted darkened rooms, this new ep, inspired by two years of 1-800 dinosaur parties, is all about the boom-boom oscillation and hands-in-the-air machine gun parties.

following in the footsteps of enigmatic sonic machine ten walls, few nolder is the next artist to grace the catalogue of the fresh and bold boso imprint. clouds is an emotionally charged trip across four driving electronic cuts, as powerful and original as you might expect from an artist who cut his teeth on planet mu, few nolder takes the listener through deep channels of wobbly bass, epic synth lines, kinetic percs and ethereal soundscapes cut through with driving basslines

obergman, the swedish master of minimal machine funk returns to abstract forms for the second part of the multiverse series. white vinyl!

scaled to fit is the debut ep from london s shift work. four tracks plus four interludes. machine music for hypno dance floors and home listening tranceouts. live shows forthcoming. in their own words: shift work wring everyday sounds into something you can dance to. snippets of woven speech, audio fragments stitched with waves of pulsing mid-priced synths - the noise of syncopation, cheap art, ringing ears, cracked snares, accidents and oscillations. and some very tidy wiring.

several years in the making mike grant finally completes the second cool peepl project. originally assembled in 2002 for the puzzlebox sharevari remixes, cool peepl is a collection of detroit artists coming together for a session. focusing less on machine based tracks, the group focuses on organic productions. free features former members of the house vocalist bill beaver, longtime percussionist sundiata o.m. and the multi-talented heavyweight amp fiddler.

bristol acetate carver and drum major, lurka launches his black acre debut with three unpredictable drum machine battle drills. kicking off with *holding* a technoid inflected dancehall pounder with a relentless low-end theory. the anxious heartbeat littered with schizophrenic percussion and alarm bells bursting into an undead army marching anthem. with *nah so* we are back on slightly more familiar turf, crushing kick drums perform the body blows under intricate hi-hats programming. *kmt* the most meditative of the three with nods to alan howarths bleak synthesiser work while high-fiveing schooly ds drum machine.

the idea behind lbl is very simple. we keep getting sent music that we really want to own on vinyl, so weve decided to start pressing these tracks ourselves. everything we have scheduled has a club feel, but past that we think youd be hard pushed to pinpoint a specific style which dominates our releases. for our first release we have music from scott fraser (crimes of the future), people get real (join our club), jamie blanco (ess o ess) and joonipah (nixwax). we could list a whole load of meaningless genres to describe the music to you (machine house, neu acid, bashment techno and hi tek soca) but we think its best you just listen and make your own mind up. currently, all lbl releases will be limited to a pressing run of 300 copies

frigio records are extremely proud to add one of spains premier electronic artists to its roster. for more than ten years boris divider has been crafting machine music, carving frigid beats and lush melodies for semantica, satamile and his own drivecom imprint.

on the a side of their *lovecream ep* schlepp geist & benotmane give a very seductive proposition and at the same time they created an irresistible mantra: *my head is burning, you make my machine clean, my love cream is waiting, so let s become a dream team.* if this is not convincing to move your feet, the b side will do. because here hides the next ear catcher. *stuck in my head* is to be taken literally. simon jinadus fascinating and soulful vocal performance burns itself into your mind with the same strength as on his guest appearance for deep house icon jimpster. as usual *lovecream ep* comes as a 10inch vinyl release in a limited edition and numbered by hand.

7 years after the last zhark vinyl release, heavyweight techno nihilist & labelhead kareem opens up another chapter of advanced technoid noizcore with his 11th full length ep on zhark. after a few years of silence kareem had just reemerged with releases on foundation sonore (fs 01), porto ronco on death of rave or mesmer on zhark digital but is now threatening to inspire more uncompromising percussive hostility. let this just be the beginning: whereas side a emphasis on a very distinguished dance floor groove concept of machine funk embedded in metal layers side b leaves room for a less formatted approach building up tension which is leading to a free firezone of depravity. while methodic differentiations can be discovered on each side, the listener is continously confrontated with haunting sonic extremism.

cyber dance records are back on the attack with a fresh release from the legendary perseus traxx aka nigel rogers, a 4-track ep entitled after recent scientific developments an apparent horizon . its a firmly machine-based and totally jam-packed affair reflecting diverse sounds from the uk s own rich history of electronic dance music, with elements from the classic warp -deep space sound- prominent as much as the more usual 303-jacking acid house grooves in the vein of baby ford or bam bam. lost dreams opens the record with a floaty dream-like hipnosis from the depths of space and sets the tone in magnificent style, followed up on side a with the irresistible roll of reverse the trend that takes the groove harder, further and deeperstraight off to the beyond. dark strings reminiscent of old lfo, b-12 or autechre vinyls from the early 90s propel us into side b on darkness stalks , and then we re transported onto the concluding track on the ep, distances , an epic closer that opens with beautiful reverbed claps and acid squelches before diving into an inky black void of timeless space-travelling and slow-building tension that could surely echo hauntingly around any m25 rave in the depths of a late 1980s night.

there is a common thread that runs through all of brandt brauer fricks music. it is this: interesting things happen at the interface of machine and hand-made music. the berlin trios 2010 album, *you make me real*, fused techno and classical. the 2011 follow-up, *mr machine*, saw them go the whole classical-meets-club hog with a ten-piece ensemble playing dance music live. then, earlier this year, came *miami*, a darker, more song-based collection exploring the same man-machine ideas. the berlin trios instalment of the dj-kicks series does the same thing with a mix.
the double vinyl comes in gatefold sleeve and includes the dj kicks mix-cd.

nicole has returned to drumcode all guns blazing with her new bittersweet ep. the a-side i know where ive been, is a deep rolling techno machine that uses a constant building percussion loop that eventually explodes into some serious funky signature moudaber techno! bittersweet is a techno belter that uses a hypnotic synth rhythm that will take the listener into another world. the repetitive claps induce a flurry of energy and excitement whilst supported by the crisp highs.

franz meersdonk und günther willers aka rdf are back on the road. the speedometer obviously tweaked, turned up and back on track. on the way tramper simon sunset got on board, et voila: made himself comfortable in the back cabin. left a bunch of wood back there. they drove the semi right into the sawmill and took care of the rough pre-cut themselves. cutter lowtec supported the two street heroes with all he’s got, or rather, he actually applied his own cutting-machine-operation. simon sunset’s wood cuttings were molded by a bunch of saws, slicers, and files. and for a final fine-tuning herb lf came running out of the canteen. and lo and behold, the machines spit out three beautifully stable pieces of wood with the finest texture- pattern captured in a stable frame of bark. so good was the material to begin with that nothing was left over for old, stinky bark mulch

even though the only commonly known avant-pop/pseudo-world/cultural-rave outcome from lithuania exists for more than 15 years, which is, for a lithuanian band - a lot, it seems this machine will never stop from moving forward, to the contrary - the legendary avant-project spins in its own unstoppable wheel of fortune and change.

relating back to the etui records roots of monomood, abstract animal presents the remixes of absolute control that originally appeared on etuiltd 003. who can be more suitable for transforming the heavy chord sounds of the original into a forward pushing floor behemoth than 50 weapons multi talented sound artist benjamin damage? in addition to that monomood took a re-edit of his own track and put a even more dark and industrial feel on it. to close the circle etui records mastermind and dresdens very own insect o. converts the originals four to floor rhythm to a broken beat machine funk monster.

for their fourth transmission, happy skull presents a trio of dystopian fantasies from analogue maverick marco bernardi. opener floating is a throbbing trip in to rattling techno territory complete with discordant chords and bubbling acid lines. broken boiler offers a trademark bernardi fusion of sweet, visceral melodies and raw machine drums. rounding things off is upside in , a fearlessly wonky voyage in to freaky techno-funk.

comprised of eight tracks, periscope blues is the culmination of a mission gone wrong. music for the stranded, the lost, those backed into a corner with nowhere to go, or maybe a reflection of sad individuals panicking on a tropical vacation gone awry. somber yet very tense drifting off radar machine electronics that feel like a blistering sun beating down on decaying beach remains as time crawls on. that or the equivalent to working the grill summers at jones beach and stealing from the register just to get a little more…
pressing on grey coloured vinyl.

asan has been making music for some time. he is geographically the closest artist to lampuka records, yet lamp004 has taken us the longest to complete thus far. we had hoped this to be asans debut release but we were pipped to the post whilst he was on his travels. gladly though we have what we think is a superfluous release…and well worth the wait. no remixes here, just four solid bangers.

the 50th instalment in the phoenix g series is a special one. a 4 track counting coloured vinyl affair of course from the hand of the labels head honcho and sole artist mr.g. proper machine funk drenched with synths and the significant samples make this 12 inch a journey through mr gs different sounds and mindstates.

renegade hardware present – chroma. formed back in 2011, the chroma crew crashed onto the scene right from the start, with essential tracks on hardware, program, commercial suicide, and their very own coded label. subsequent releases have blown speakers and minds in equal measure, and now the newcastle lads are back with the follow up to their hardware release: machine which featured on the heavyweight limber ep.

techno-legends oliver bondzio and ramon zenker aka hardfloor are back in style this season! with their beloved machine music that is free from seasonal flares, and artificial flavours. hardfloor are still true to the core of their 303 platine circuit boards. electronic music production is nothing less than a bare necessity to these pioneers of the acid groove. hailed and namedropped by many a young producer’s today, revamped or sampled... acid lines emerge anew in quite a few tracks. but when hardfloor put acid in their tank - it is sooo much more and way bigger than a marketable gimmick or the fuel to an otherwise exchangeable battery of loops. it is the motor, the lifeline and the heartbeat to a whole organism offering a whole world of expression and – first and foremost - emotions!

last summer, you could barely escape the wide-eyed charms of *late train*, the epic second single from paul murphy and quinn lukes all-star balearic rock outfit. following its release on claremont 56 last may, the song became the soundtrack to sweltering afternoons by the mediterranean and lazy boat parties in the adriatic. 10 months on, the blissfully baggy original is given a new lease of life thanks to a swathe of new remixes.

mad limitado. you know the drama. spreading these out across the board as per. this limited remix 10 inch showcases a remix of break glass from l vis 1990s dance system moniker alongside a vip mix of reflection from sims. the former, featured on sims fabric comp, continues to nurture his raw, machine driven and retro leaning vibes while the theory boss turns in a dense, jacking number.

without further ado, h+p would like to impress you with no eres tu. some of you may remember mamacita s guest appearance on auntie flos future rhythm machine? here we proudly present her debut release. weve sat on this record for so long that we ve often forgotten how great it actually is! amazing 80s chicago house via santiago, chile. one of the summer. we were concerned about anyone touching the flawless original, but argentinian, ana helder delivers a blinding job, at once retaining the best qualities of the og, whilst making it her own.

eglo records are proud to present the debut release from melbourne based multi-instrumentalist/writer/painter/mastermind kirkis. deep fried and bursting full of colour, these two tracks act as a pre-curoser to the forthcoming full length lp *liverbleach*. an associate of the awesome hiatus kaiyote, kirkis is equal parts black hole and rainbow, like the spirt of frank zappa trapped in an answering machine.

latest iib release features the north easts version of csn last waltz. a double header, the first track just hold on is a collaboration between last waltz & smoove. heartfelt vocals over a pastoral rolling chugger, deep bassline folky guitar strumming making this a favourite at iib hq. on the remix ess o ess raise the tempo a little bring out the electric guitars and increasing the chug to almost krautrock levels. on the flip side last waltz give us tribute. a deep atmospheric acid affair. mellow electric keys and percussion lull you into a false sense of security before the heavy kick and acid bassline drop with dark cello notes. machete savane take on the remix. replacing acid for guitar and adding some machine groove this slowly builds and builds into a top bubbler.
