young marco made a big impression to a new lot of listeners at the beginning of 2012 with his esp institute debut, nonono / darwin in bahia (played by dixon and james murphy amongst others). the young man from amsterdam now returns with a sister 12inch to his nonono, a perfectly complimentary piece of wax that maintains his esoteric stance on house music, and proves that hes no one-trick pony. video days blends marcos signature analog synth work with tribal rhythms and a loose sense of narrative, while the flipside later than u think takes a more cheeky approach, pairing a blissfully stabbing core melody with a mousey counter-melody and setting it all over some huge tom-heavy drum programming. these songs are the perfect close to a beautiful summer, whether youre lost in euphoria as the sun comes up, or simply dancing around your kitchen in the nude.

with tok024, tonkind presents a wonderful collaboration work,in between the australian team shades of gray from sydney and and melbournes shiny kid uone. best think about it, for this production they did not met in sydney nor in melbourne, but in prag. here, the one part of shades of gray, czech national michal schwa still have his studio. long time ago, back in summer 2005 he landed in australia with a bag full of vinyl, a string of dj gigs and the promise of unchartered territory ahead. soon after he met there local producer nick west, their common passion lead to a collaboration. besides their shades of gray project, they formed the label beef records. since then they have made a huge impact on the house music scene, shur-i-kan, miguel migs, luna city express, miss kittin, jimpster, pezzner, laurent garnier, smash tv and the timewriter are just the tip of an iceberg of fans. their debut album and career pinnacle to date, soul machine, was critically acclaimed by the press, receiving glowing reviews in dj mag and debug. to carry on this journey they keep on meeting good producers and djs all around the world to share and develope their skills. katoomba is the outcome of such an exchange. further more uone who is even more a walking music normad, gave his best ingredients to this release. what we hear is a shaking, colorful ep, which will arrest attention out there...for sure

twelve years ago tresor records released terrence dixons debut album >from the far future< - a personal homage to the art and ancestry of techno, culminating in a discursive and dream-like course through the genres many tomes, complete with subtle nods to key protagonists such as kraftwerk, derrick may and juan atkins. a luminescent and ethereal catalogue of tracks awash with shimmery synths and taught rhythmical programming - that still holds true today, >from the far future< made for a stunning first full length that cemented dixons already proven credentials from his population one work and utensil records foundations. after a string of stylistically rich releases - including another album, >train of thought<, this time for cologne-based label yore records - the detroit native returns to tresor records with >from the far future pt.2< - an ambitious, scopey and deeply personal sequel.

sspt005 / inversions is the second outcome by plural on separate skills recordings. the new release by daytons mastermind james johnson is a clear statement to follow up with four powerful dance-floor oriented tracks. again made up of driven metallic chords, dub and detroit techno elements in the vein of the last release, this 300 copies limited 12inch vinyl record is refined to be a killer!
all tracks written and produced by james plural johnson, dayton ohio usa. masterings by christoph grote-beverborg at dubplates & masterings studios berlin.

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

nice price deal !!! redux return from a winter hibernation and summer of partying with some more essential wax. grand corporation is the latest alias of andy meecham (emperor machine/chicken lips) and stevie kotey (bearfunk/chicken lips), features the incredible vocals of deborah bell, and really cements the reputations of two of scenes finest producers. the grand corporation sound is inspired by the very best dance music from detroit/chicago/new york, resulting in some raw, sleazy and soulful early house vibes. there may be bit of a trend for reproducing classic house sounds at the moment, but these guys are seriously qualified to do it and unlike a lot of their peers capture the essence of what made this music so exciting in the first place. free comes in vocal and instrumental versions, and with a superb bonus acid dub in the do it proper remix.

24 year old andrade is without doubt, one of the most exciting talents from the current crop of young french producers. having built a reputation within the paris scene for his skills behind the decks, it was his early solo productions for time has changed and robotronic that caught the ear of a certain mr steve bug. releases on dessous followed and last year andrade also made a impressive debut on poker flat recordings. hes releasing today his debut ep on d julz bass culture records, a 3 tracker completed remix from by us deep house veteran jus-ed. support by ame, gerd, mr.g., deetron, sebo k, axel boman, dan curtin....

another piece of swissness here! long anticipated and finally here. animal trainers new ep for their very own piece of gold: hive audio. sure they were also featured on the 6 years hive compilation, made several quality remixes & released on labels such as pokerflat or stil vor talent, but its still special to present your music on the self-made label. besides 3 originals there is another very talented producer to find on this record. &me delivers like everytime. it looks like he started where the 2 guys from zurich finished. a lot of energy which comes together in a very strong beat which makes this one a dancefloor-thing for sure.

one of the most anticipated comebacks on local talk is finally here! their debut on local talk >moody< caused a big stir on the house charts and made the #01 at traxsource deep house 100 and still gets praise from djs all over the globe including karizma, steve bug, joey negro, the revenge and kerri chandler. the dynamic duo is now back with a even stronger ep doing what they do best, delivering two stunning vocal house tracks. the reaction mad mats & tooli got when they heard >trapped!< was unanimous -­- tune alert! using a colonel abrams acapella from 1985 and fusing it with a jacking track that retains the spirit of the dirtytwo sound & can only cause one thing, dancefloor mayhem. on the flip is >i m feelin< - a slighty more modern house burner that features old friend and pre dirtytwo fame spanka! vocalist frosche.

blank code presents bcr002 - beta ep from the plant worker (also known as a. trebor), released on 12 inch vinyl with custom made silk screened jackets and available with an additional track found exclusively on the digital release. beta 01 represents merciless techno, with a pounding kick and unexpected drops that leave the listener gasping for breath. the luis flores remix introduces a subtle swing, making it more danceable than the original while still retaining the ominous tones imbued in the track by the plant worker. beta 02 stumbles in with anxious acid synths and urgent hi-hat patterns, slowly building to a massive climax. mysterious chimes wandering around the sonic space give a haunting feel to beta 03, the eery conclusion of the vinyl version of the release. the eps digital exclusive, beta 04, returns the listener to the original themes of beta 01 – open, reverberating bass accented by the sounds of echoing metallic decay.

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth aren’t in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben valløe in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and valløe and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

a freaky, bumping brand of deep house that stands apart from the glut of smoother styles being mined at present. >groove your world< boasts surreal pads that create an overall delirious vibe, only bolstered by the off-kilter choice of vocal snippets and occasional thunder cracks. medlars remix finds its way into that swinging shuffle that hes made his name on thus far, with some smooth keys to boot. >let me know< works off some bold chords before meandering off in an altogether different direction, and >you got my time< clatters along with a quintessential chicago ruffness that leans heavily on the drums

randomer is a dirty boy. and this is one of his dirtiest yet. proprietary edm trend-forecasting software has predicted year on year growth of deranged acid breakbeat music. we give you we laugh we scream. nar: a timely response to the proliferation of industry >yes men< freak dub: if dillinja made house?

dj shadow ist eine schlüsselfigur der dj-kultur. in den fußstapfen von eric b. und lee scratch perry, als vorreiter von st. germain und thievery corporation hat der 40jährige musiker aus san jose, kalifornien die kunstform namens hip hop zu neuen ufern geführt, neue maßstäbe im trip hop, ambient breakbeat und turntablismus gesetzt. mit >reconstructed< gibt dj shadow zum ersten mal dem größeren publikum eine eintrittskarte in sein universum.

the story begins somewhere far away from awareness and rational thought. our main characters plays the roles of lost but not aimless arrows of pictures. pictures made out of sub atomic movements, amplified through breathable air and finally fragmenting its energy into space. we see the the sun go down in the ocean, the purple and red colors and finally the majestic sight of whales plowing the water in the horizon. it has been many years, in fact, so many years that we are now back again to the same point time. it is like an infinite loop, never loosing pace and determination.

disclosure have made quite a stir with >the face< ep and we are now pleased to announce the remix ep. featuring re-works of >boiling< from dixon and medlar, and joe goddards huge take on >control<, backed with mak & pastemans take on >what s in your head<.

a label that prides itself on picking up new talent and letting them shine, electronique digital has made quite a name for itself in a short space of time. the manchester-based label has already been home to one of the years big anthems with finnebassens huge >if you only knew<. but it is not just about anthems and big tunes, there is also a focus on the deeper end of house music whilst retaining labels commitment to disco and summer vibes in every release. in other words, though they specialise in deep house, but it is never too serious or morose.
early dj support from: maceo plex, noir, andre crom, waifs & strays, wildkats, the mekansim, tom budden, giom, seth troxler, maxxi soundsystem, flashmob, miguel puente, cera alba, downtown party network, lula circus, amine edge, maher daniel, jay west & many more!

after the dexter and erik travis releases its funkateer mr blount getting freaky on his 2nd release!hailing from new zealand reggie blount made his debut 1.5 year ago on clone crown ltd. his hard times debut ep sold out straight away and got loads of fine feedback from the heads out there. this second ep starts with more crazy funky vocal p-funk tracks flip side starts with the incredible track hey. one of those tracks that is able to give you goose bumps and grow on you to become one of those our tunes kinda tracks you share with that special person. ep is finnishing of with the beautiful wave electro funk kinda thing called racecar! as if garry numan is doing some p-funk

as re-mixers, they have already made two fine contributions to schallbox-releases, now they finally get their own track on the swiss label. 12 most definetly belongs to the smalltown collective!
the name of the track is tiefblau and it speaks for itself: you are transported by a pushing, bass-generated pressure capsule down along a hypnotic groove line and into a deep blue ocean. the smalltown collective really exploit the merits of the acoustic stage here, pulling together a compelling and diverse set of notes and tones carefully arranged to amount to a track you just cant shake.
in his interpretation, dj le roi stays true and to the deepest blue dive atmosphere of tiefblau, yet manages to make it completely his own. unmistakably tieflblau, unmistakably le roi.
the page logo belongs to berlin-based producer david keno, whos signature lies in lacing floor-oriented beats with a distinct melodic aspect. with his unique and secret recipe, keno tweaks/ treats this track as he does with so many stomping house tracks with a laid-back vibe. guaranteed to work on any dance floor in the world!

we are happy to announce our fav jacques renault remix is finally available on vinyl! jacque is happy to be released this remix on vinly and he made extended dub version as more dj tool.

dear you, so why am i starting a label? i guess i am trying to centralize my output. give it all some kind of unity. my friend jon berry (who works at kompakt and is running the label with me) has been bugging me for ages to do it and now seems the time. i ve had a great run thus far with all my buddy s labels, and i dont think i will stop as long as they still want me. but for the time being it made sense somehow that i do my own thing. give it a name - maybe tomorrow - and a face - vinyl.

ssaliva (aka cupp cave) has been very active lately with releases on vlek & ramp as cupp cave, the previous ssaliva out on vlek earlier this year, a rbma participation & lots of live gigs all over europe. this is ssalivas second ep on vlek. as its little brother it is a perfect display of how he mastered the magic of wows and flutters. 8 tracks of a vibe thats been dubbed by xlr8r as soaked in codeine and smoked to the gills. the sleeve was made on a full analog letterpress with an original artwork by dimitri runkkari (responsible for the critically acclaimed first ssalivas cover). bright pink vinyl, limited edition.

basic soul unit has been a fixture on torontos techno scene for the best part of the last decade, with releases on mathematics, crème organization and mule electronic, while skudge have made their name with a unique sound and an independent approach which has seen most of their material released through their own imprint. both artists show an interesting insight into boddikas curatorial approach for the label, and are indicative of the move towards 4/4 techno that the producer has been making for a while now – with both producers sharing a similarly weighty, yet deep approach to the genre that boddika has been moving towards in his recent collaborations with joy orbison

dead capo is a quartet that fluctuates between the classic sounds of jazz, the attitude of rock and the trepidation of surf. all of this seasoned with the cinema sounds of rota or morricone.
it has been 10 years since their debut lp, díscolo (pueblo records, 2002), made waves with the national critics. their new album is once again surprising and the band sounds as fresh as when they started their journey at the end of the 90s. sale (lovemonk, 2012) combines an extraordinary energy with passages of meticulous precision and goes from wild to calm in a way that is both unexpected yet natural. thelonius monk, cartoons, cinematic landscapes, rocks past, africa, surf and the ballad come together in an album as great as it is as unpredictable.

in 2011 it got a little quiet around the co-productions of fraenzen texas and ruede hagelstein aka the cheapers. but since the beginning of the new year the lights dont go out in their studio doing beats and sound. next to releases on areal records and bar25 the uy063 was born. title of the name giving a-side goes back on a quote from paris hilton who wants to tell with >amazeballs< how super cool she finds things. anyway the two artists made it real with their concise bassline which will make the people reliably squeak more than hobby djane hilton. on the b-side things turn a bit more severe: egyptian summer quotes with samples the arabic spring in africa and produces a revolutionary ground mood which has never been heard before. on b2 however there are the cheaperesque absurdities on the microfon like we know them. depositing skillfully their own vocals in the belly of a hungry electro monster.

part 1/3. the distance from ricardos last field trip >the au harem d archimede< (perl43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12 lp-set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. it is said that funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. the space between the notes here is so vast that funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. the rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. they evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.

foreign sunrises are always inspiring an artist. festival gigs with amazing music and extraordinary people making you feel the real magic of electronic music. einmusik packed all those things and made a dreamy and mysterious ep called >damgala<. only two tracks coming up, but they are special and wistful - nothing more is left to say about the feelings of an artist traveling all over the world since months. >damgala< itself is a song with unsettling synths, an undulating baseline and rolling drums. the breaks are so strong and suprising and you will never forget this sensuous chorus. >st.anna< is the second number on the ep. it is made by mars leder and einmusik. they meet each other on several parties in berlin. mars, a young and talented dj also plays a lot of instruments and so they made a studio session with different sequences. the guitar is clear and melancholic, the synths are soft and the bass is catching you. close your eyes and feel the song without being prejudiced by some words.

122 bpm is the story of how a father and his son changed chicagos dance music scene in the 1980s and went on to take the world by storm, leaving an impression that will last forever with just a couple of 12 inch releases the world would soon know as house music. nemiah mitchell jr. and vince lawrence couldnt have known what their contribution to house music would become. their story provides the missing chicago link between soul, disco, new wave and then house, between the radio and club djs and their audience, between the old generation and the new generation. this is the story of the first house records ever made - long before trax or dj international were even dreamt of. the compilation includes numerous unreleased tracks and beyond hard to find house tracks made in chicago in the early to late eighties from the catalogues of mitchbal records and chicago connection records

with another release that is made to be a soundtrack for sunny open air scenarios, acker records keeps living up to its name and pays tribute to the current summer season. in doing so, the label from mecklenburg one more time steps out of the line, since this release again distinguishes itself by a refreshing otherness. light and easy piano plonking as well as the lascivious french voice of singer rebecca dominate the atmosphere of ici, while its minimal electronic groove discreetly remains in the background. a really tropical feeling evolves in the long version of this track when playful synthesiser chords give rise to the idea of a steel drum. in his remix, mollono.bass manages to combine the very song-orientated approach of the original with a bouncy electronic arrangement. thus he not only creates a lot of dance floor thrust, but also provides the perfect link to rather conventional productions.

cecille numbers comes with number 19 with a 3 tracker of m.in(desolat, robsoul. optimum is insufficient ep contains two collaborations, acid test is made together with the chicago born greenskeepers frontman nick maurer, who also released on labels like classic. on like that m.in worked together with the italian alex piccini (area remote, saved) on a great club stomper, last but not least the main long a side is by m.in himself and is called organ grinder, a deep mover with an unforgettable cool melody

the chant: galloping monster with a cheeky bounce thats made all the more mega with the vocal energy.plz dont squeeze: pressurised squashed sound snippets tousle across the beats leaving the synths to breathe and soar. let this untamed tune free to expand across the club systems – and what ever you do, plz dont squeeze.nebulae: dream away on this interstellar cloud of soft vocals and floating grooves that moves you progressively towards dance heaven.

the second album from the artreform label. track tripping perfectly fits the concept made for djs. a remix by the germans superlounge completely changed the rhythmic part of the track and gave it hasteless groove.

another fantastic release on the limited series of globox, this time we have ciro leone already known for his hit on the underground ibiza vol.12 the toolroom compilation! the neapolitan guy made an amazing track called wait there are no words to explain the reaction of the crowd! to complete this fantastic release you will find the remix from the wellknown artist julien chaptal!

matthew herbert revives his wishmountain moniker 16 years after the release of seminal minimal techno track >radio< and subsequent album >wishmountain is dead<. this 12 inch is taken from tesco, an album made exclusively from sounds sourced from the top ten best-selling items in a certain supermarket.
fans of herberts earlier output will not be disappointed: expect bubbling bass and melodic hooks, like classic early herbert amplified by his 2012 studio savvy.
