after previous releases on hija de colombia, el nino andres (here credited as el nino only) debuts on new vinyl label called jackie brown. jackie brown aims to release series of mini lps, providing conceptual music stories, while at the same time not neglecting the main consequence of good house music – dance groove. house music infected with funk, soul and boogie grooves – we are not inventing nothing new, we’ve been inspired by many labels that came before. el nino delivers first story on our label, and in our humble opinion shows the very best side of house music with a groove and soul. though not all tracks are lengthy and floor ready, they make a great ensemble on “no boogie nights”, while tracks like “odds against tomorrow”, “thieves in the night” and “something ain’t right” work great on their own. everything is rounded up with amazing artwork from maximilian moser.

we have started a new project from a new part of finish team records only on vinyl. for the first release we have made a 4 track e.p. with the main artists of the label: manu p, andrea rubolini, aumrec & gabriele orsini. first track is composed by manu p, and is named el torito. is the perfect track for the summer time, with a latin tech house with a huge bass and melodic voice, perfect for the middle of the night set. the second is a track by andrea rubolini (the crowd), also here a huge bass during all the track and a melodic synth that characterized the track. the third track by aumrec (elonove), is more techno, with lot of strange and secret minimal part and a solid and fresh kick. gabriele orsini also composed the fourth track (the suspect), a techno and intense travel trough the dark techno scene.

markus suckut is a name that needs no introduction in the techno scene having estabilished himself as one of the main players of the new breed of techno artists coming out of germany with releases on cocoon, figure, mosaic,non series and more. at be as one were excited to have him debut on the label with watching the sunset ep: three cuts of finely produced techno, from peak-time into after-hours, with markus very own raw trademark sound perfectly in balance with be as one latest techno offerings.

having produced one third of nas generation-defining illmatic, large professors place on the pantheon of hip-hop heavyweights is already etched in stone. when you add in his groundbreaking debut as a member of main source - or the fact that he has collaborated with luminaries like pete rock, a tribe called called quest, busta rhymes, mobb deep, masta ace, and big daddy kane - it is crystal clear that the mans influence towers high above the history of the hip hop.
with fat beats records’ release of re:living, large professor builds on his already impressive discography with an entirely self-produced record that delivers all the crisp drums, razor-sharp scratches, and innovative uprock grooves that define his signature sound. *i m moving forward,* large says, *but i went back to an earlier formula. with this project i feel like it is the closest that i take it back to that main source style.*
featuring roc marciano, inspectah deck, cormega, g-wiz, fortune, and lord jamar, re:living shines a spotlight on new yorks best voices from the golden era to today. but above all, large professor lets his production do the talking - and with a legacy like his, beats speak louder than words.

maybe one of the bigger open air releases this year. slow motion minimal pop house at its best. having started to spin hip-hop records in his hometown frankfurt / main he finally ended up in berlin. his >mirrors< ep on katermukke and >akumal< on laut & luise, where released to wide acclaim and already show his versatility and finesse. his remixes and co-productions for instance with nu and acid pauli does confirm his musical pedigree and make us eagerly await all the marvelous things yet to come from this fledging artist.

nologo is back with 2 essential, tried and tested underground club tracks. orlando b serves up side a with dark world, an epic, slow burning, dark-house journey. dark world begins completely stripped back before the main hook, an eerie hypnotic vocal is introduced. funky percussive elements creep in which drive the piece forward and a deep minor pad heightens the tension setting the tone for the rest of the track. the energy builds gradually with the addition of a 303 bass line peaking just before the end, taking the listener on a dark hypnotic trip. on the flip, is none other than house & techno legend mr g who uses the dark world vocal but takes it somewhere new providing his own unique and distinctive flavour. mr gs rum remix is a dark and twisted peak-time banger, the high energy from the off set perfectly complementing the slower vibe of the original. plenty of sub and twisted synth action keeps the momentum high and the dark stab he uses punctuates the vocal nicely giving it a raw edge. dark world is an essential addition to the record bag for darker dancefloors. dj deep: i love this, your remix is super funky and dark at the same time!!! dope! tom (panorama bar): ufff nice and dark.....another mr g gem. to be served with the rum rush...

marseille s finest dj steef steps up to the plate for the next foto 12 inch, supplying 3 hefty house tracks of varying tempo s and moods. main jam shaking kicks off proceedings with a chopped-up break and kicking groove before a piano-laden mid-section sends the temperature rising. next up freeters hits heavy on the pitch-down vibe with some wonky electronics underpinned by a solid 4/4 low end. over on the flip big bossman the revenge hits back with a trademark stripped-out mix of shaking which is heavy on the machine funk. rounding things off mojica tribe is an altogether deeper number with smooth pads and an ethereal atmosphere

the next chapter in the main the invariants series surfaces. on the a side two slightly more effective cuts with centripetal force. on the flipside it submerse with the first a track from the tape archives and to close the ep off a downtempo acid session.

umeks infamous label 1605 returns on wax with a bang with two firing break beat / electro techno inspired cuts, a main stay in the big mans sets for the last few months.

dance like nobody s watching is the name of luvdancin s 5th release and also the motto of the label. 4 strong house tracks from 4 different artists, each of them with their own sound, but with one main goal in common: keeping your feet moving until the early hours. vinyl only as usual!.

oblack faces a fascinating and new stage in which vinyl calls back to play the main role within his record releases. in this new series, only vinyl, los pastores own label, will put all the energy on the best sound from the underground dance music, slightly derived from house, and its essence will be offered in the best ever format: 12inch wax. it is worth highlighting the album cover for oblack 016 as well -illustrated and designed by hector omkara and alberto vidal - which becomes the first of a graphic series for album covers where biomechanical animals will be the protagonists. justin harris, brett johnson, oblack and moreover: only vinyl.. what else do you need?

atjazz on local talk! pretty good combo right? well, just wait until you hear fox tooth and we re quite sure you ll agree with us that this is something above normal rank. martin iveson aka atjazz gave us a release that will work just as well on big sound systems as well as in those dark house basements. the original version is an electronic house jam that s equipped with all necessary tools in order to peak in the main room but without all the played out tech-house schemes. it s uplifting yet dark and carves a very personal groove - yum ! oh, don t miss the killer break down...big! the second version comes in the form of his inspired atjazz galaxy aart dub and this to be fair is more of a remix than a dub. here we step straight down to the darkness for a warming deep house cut that sounds like something from the prescription archives but still retaining the trademark atjazz sound. this is simply, sophisticated house music for those who like things real.

a deep groove that evolves thanks to electronic & indie influences, while keeping techno as its main element.

flashmob manage to surf the fine line between main room house heroes and underground tech legends. they are just as happy writing a main room bomb for defected as they are making heavy techno for alan fitzpatricks vinyl only esd label.

this release marks a new beginning for berkovi, better known for his tougher music man, force inc, djax and harthouse releases over recent years. after haunting the bside of one release too many, a reboot into a more beloved and emotional techno template is obviously reaping dividends. according to the man himself, this is no trend following phenomenon: i ve always produced deeper music, more often than not even years ago was always pushed to b sides of eps or remixes but now it s the main thing i want to do, techno with soul. after releasing a lot of more melodic material on labels such as eevonext and an album for trapez a few years ago i want to return to solely concentrating on this style for my music and live sets

longtime figure main-player markus suckut continues his artistic development with this killer seven track, wide-reaching ep. based on the concept of providing rich ambient textures for the start of the night or dj set, and then heavy, minimalist techno tracks to satisfy driving, percussive club needs, suckut gives us another masterclass in his art. alongside the dense textures of for start #1-3 and their varying moods - from echoing steam-filled passges to off-world strings reaching for the skies - we are also treated to four heavyweight dj tools stamped with markus trademark elegant sound.

falling ethics launches hands of glory. it is the fourth release, a new work from label boss p.e.a.r.l. he combines techno sound of the nineties with industrial touches in the main theme.

initially alfonso muskedunder was just the nickname for my newborn son alf, but the character soon started leading it s own life. interpreted for this single by a bunch of good people, such as deetron (jazzy-ish housey-ish), bullion (main vocal funky latin house mix... or not. it s vocal though), mungolian jetset (acid mambo deep in the forest, quattro formaggio pizza style) and the mysterious tangoterje (dub mambo especial), the icing on the cake finally came in the form of a fully animated music video courtesy of bendik kaltenborn and espen friberg. kind of tricky to explain exactly what goes on in that one, guess you have to see for yourself...

the get serious boys strike again, this time on the i m in love main serie. and for this ep they have teamed up with federico alfieri to show us a deeper musical approach, more focused on dub. *aire* on the a-side comes with a danceable rhythm and a bleak atmosphere, created by magnificent dub elements. on the flip we have another dark, dubby bomb, perfectly fitting on every afterhour. it also strongly represents our musical intention by drawing the connection to the labels first release.

after ep1 in summer 2014, jacob korn continues the series with the aptly titled ep2, a collection of tracks that underline jacob s talent to produce dance music with appeal for both the main floors as well as deep house connoisseurs

midgar is proud to introduce a newcomer for the third release. a great debut for the maltese cloned, delivering not less than 4 cuts with sapphire 1990 e.p. the record, way more straightforward and groove centered than the previous midgar outputs, opens with sapphire 1990, track that sounds like very nostalgic memories from a timeless rave. thanks to a genuine simplicity and the great arrangement of its elements, this first cut has the perfect characteristics to become a dancefloor anthem. on the same side, a live out-take from cloned’s repertory, the pendulum swinging synth-lines which dominate pretty direct rhythmics filled with hi-hats and claps over a costant background noise. belgassem as the first cut on the b side, is an absolutely heavy one for the label’s standards, made of deep kickin’ drums and haunting voices empowered by a really strong and obsessive acid-line. closing the vinyl, the slow (and again really acidic) submerging is like a lysergic vessel headed to more comfortable dimensions, where groovy drums are embraced by very bright heavenly pads. sudden death is instead a chilled-out broken beat interrupted by confused speeches and detroitish pads, resulting as a modern ritual of ascension towards higher spheres. corel drives the release to the end, recalling most of its main features: a restless run through misty soundscapes along a path studded of bells and overwhelming, sharp hi-hats.

small re-press - be fast

ajello who are back with their second e.p. on the label! eclecticism is definately the keyword word of the ajello project comprising of luca (dj rocca) roccatagliati and fabrizio taver tavernelli
as this is the second e.p. of 2 from ajello we decided to take the remixes for this project to the next level. first up is luminodisco of house of disco fame, undoubtedly one of nu disco s pioneers with a heritage to match who has reworked montgomery clift ready for the main room. the second mix is delivered by none other than yamwho? best known for his midnight riot & ism imprints who delivers a pure disco groover. finally for the vinyl release is retrospective s own rayko serving up his -best remix ever- in his own words! in addition, for the digital release aashton of aashton & swift fame brings his signature house flavor to the fold alongside an instrumental of the original for the heads. quite a package i m sure you will agree!

the bodyjack label returns with a bang and a split ep with the man himself and fresh talent soundbwoy killah. hot on the heels from ep s on unknown to the unknown, his clone co-run bodytrax label and a remix for jimmy edgar s super hot ultramajic, bodyjack is on fire right now. not much needs to be said about this, other than shake that ass is an unapologetic main room banger with a rough bassline and cheeky vocal. also comes with an instrumental version for the heads. soundbwoy killah has been turning heads this year (if you have heard his cheeky edits online you know what we are talking about). this brand new artist drops us 2 of the rawest jungle-fused underground party trax you ve heard this year and this is just the start for this bwoy...heavyweight tracks for the floor from the bodyjack crew. support from: jackmaster, james zabiela, claude von stroke, huxley, eats everything, shadow child, la4a, monki, serge, tiga, dj haus, serge and many more.

today we once again celebrate the coming together of two of technos most legendary and respected figures for the next installment of their much lauded elements series - oliver huntemann & dubfire. as the series name alludes, aire is a track that harnesses elements from the previous brace of tracks and brings them together whilst adding a fresh touch of flair. irelands matador takes on the remix task, delivering two contrasting new versions. his beautifully deep dub mix is an understated, smooth and wondrous excursion while his main mix throws down its earth-moving kick drum throughout as he allows the original atmospherics and fx to playfully pierce the production.

our next big release at bad barbie, going out on digital and 12 inch, comes by the hand of aldo cadiz itself, but this time partnered with kareem cali. these two made a fantastic three track ep called monita ep. the first track monita presents a solid base created with a classic tech style and an extremely groovy bass line. full of small arrangements and a crazy vocal line, this tracks its perfect for any club dj. the second track bonita, is the one with the more old school vibe, from the bass line to the main acid synth, which goes evolving softly with a filter during the track to generate the needed tension. all this with a strong tech groove to follow the step of this solid ambience created by the acid synths. the last track moni, also has many techno and acid elements presents. we can perceive the techno soul mainly on the arrangement of the hi-hats and bass line, but the acid synth in triplet at the backend is what generates the crazy vibe and almost hypnotic feeling during the track, playing around with the volume of it. definitely a fantastic release to add to any collection.

init is the musical incarnation of rhein-main based duo nadia d alo and benedikt frey. albeit heavy use of analogue synthesis and drum-machines, init rethinks its genres sonic approach, unfolding a unique and organic, yet alienating sound, somewhere in mysterious mids of acid, techno, ambient and kraut-rock

lead track is - calle sevilla that immediately commands attention with it s locked tight groove, piano licks and warm rhodes keys that lead us to the mighty bassline and we re already feeling the intensity. a synth riff comes in and builds to the main break and creates an atmosphere that takes us on a trip to the sunshine coast of maybe ibiza, right before it drops back in!

girl units club-dwelling hysterics alias makes his first appearance on the night slugs main series. his opening statement via club constructions vol. 5 introduced a dungeon world of hydraulic rhythm tracks driven by primal exertion. hysterics ep offers a first glimpse of colour from the artist (mainly oxidised bronze!).

repress 2015 ... machines do speak a language understood and appreciated by humans. measured by the success of skudge, an artistic duo that has delivered a lot in a very short time. combining their inspiration and talent through wires and analogue equipment, they seem to always present something new - in a very faithful style. what remains most significant on their output through the main label skudge records, as well as their remix material present on a row of different labels, it must be their exceptional sense of loops and unexpected detail in their productions.

nice price deal !!! the very first release of the new >somos< imprint curated by alejandro mosso. a label intended to enlarge the family and serve as a platform for related artists who share similar aesthetics. expanding the mosso label manifesto into a larger community. ! joachim holm, a young talented and skilled producer from trondheim (norway), wrote some unique and mesmerising wooden melodies which became the foundations of these two songs. alejandro added some extra production and a beautiful record came to life. ! tre rytme, the rhythmic version, focuses on the main melodic motif while adding an intense and pulsating beat. morphing slowly but firmly into a club burner. a spring optimistic piece ready to add a spark of life into any dancefloor. ! tre melodi is the soft and mellow version. a 12 minutes ride of polyrythmic, repetitive and hypnotic riffs, recalling american classic minimalism in an innocent and playful manner. take the time to listen until the end, it promises to be a comforting experience.

celebrated and mercury-nominated uk duo rae & christian released their first new material for ten years in 2013 on night time stories/late night tales after spending the last decade meditating in a buddhist monastery in swindon. this year the label commissioned a series of remixes from mercury rising and mang dynasty (aka ray mang & bill brewster) take on favourite game featuring rising star of the swindon buddhist circuit jake emlyn. mang dynasty focus on gita langley s backing vocal hooks adding a chorus piano motif and stretch things out into an epic nine minute plus main version aimed squarely at the dancefloor (and afghanistan). jake emlyns more aurally-pleasing melodic parts are utilised towards the end taking things up another level to a happy finish. initial reactions have been so strong it seemed rude not to slip out a 12inch on mangled, home of the hits!

2015 re-issue! producers trias and baeks are old school techno berliner djs who held residency at tresor club for well over 10 years. adam x and ancient methods befriended each other in berlin in 2008. the main commonality in forging a solid friendship between them was their passion not just for techno but for the rhythmic noise side of the industrial music scene. it would only make sense with mutual respect of each others music to record a release together. here on their first collaboration they blend together their distinctive styles to create a fresh new sound of techno, industrial and arrhythmic and dysrhythmic noise machine funk

wph kicks off 2015 with a new e.p. by the mighty luv jam from wales. living in a universe that is entirely his own andrew cole has cooked up two more of his ‘especially for wph’-tracks. one here at wph hq can only be flattered! ‘californian freestyler’ is the more peak time burner of the two, but ‘bmx bandito’ will not disappoint the more discerning punters out there either. on remix duty we find the main artist from our friends at uncanny valley in dresden, jacob korn. any work by jacob is always a treat and this here is no exception. flexing our digging talents we have also licensed a luv jam remix from the good people at panta rhei that was only released on limited 7”. we feel it deserved to be on a 12”, so there.

limited 2015 repress! wicked album by perlons main man zip aka dimbiman and sammy dee. if you rememeber their rocking last single you know what to expect. top 8 tracks full of electronic party magic.

polluted system is a track suitable for the main room, the energy of the kick and the bass leave no respite from start to finish as a joint of metal percussion and synths fit gradually to fill the sound spectrum of this track. becomes human machine in a few minutes, using acid and industrial sounds, conveys the idea of the change that is happening around us: people are becoming more and more machines, and this is the soundtrack of the mutation. unlocked human, while remaining in acid and mechanical territories, thanks to a groove of more organic toms and hi hat still let the human element glimpse, not yet deleted by the machines, all accompanied by a relentless kick which makes it a perfect tool from the dancefloor . no system, which give the title to the ep, ends this sequence with dreamy and futuristic atmospheres, the ruling part is still a simple but instantly recognizable acid bass, over breakbeat-oriented rhythmics.
