in the here and now of house and techno, a flux is taking place. the newest generation of souls possessed by the beat has never had a better chance to look back at the unbridled creativity and vitality of the 80s and 90s, and channel it into their contemporary creations. the gospel of youtube and a wealth of mixes with convenient tracklists make it easy for the lazy artist to absorb what was great before and reflect it in their contemporary productions. this of course is of no concern for someone like franck roger

the blade wielding edit team known as beard science return for 2013 ! four more lost classics given the short back and sides (and a few extensions) the seventh release in this celebrated series opens with oswego music stretching out a fragment of dubby eighties rock. next, t.tauri revs up the engine on a raucous disco stormer. for the b side, torontos andrew allsgood and alister dj catalist johnson make their beard science debut with some sinuous space disco, hot on the heels of the launch of their free association label. finally, brad vachal, flying solo without eric hedford on this outing, slows things down with a swampy, bluesy rock number. quality all the way...

in a world in which upstart diy talent is flooding the gates of electronic music, a few recent voices have been so strong as to be startling. lapalux – aka 25-year-old stuart howard – is certainly one such. as singular as a brilliant artist always should be, his instinctive understanding of the atmospheric power of texture grips the ear immediately on listening. nostalchic is his debut album, mission statement, and the climax of many years of studying his craft. the amalgam of words that make the title is aptly, and perhaps knowingly chosen. the album evokes nostalgia without ever sounding nostalgic, and howard may have had his tongue in his chic when he added the second half of the title. the album is his most focused document to date, adding his beloved r&b and soul into elements of house and hip hop, all with the trademark lapalux finish, infectious, lopsided swing and achingly deep texture.

the titles present on mosso004 both simultaneously develop the different, yet ever so complimentary, aspects of alejandros production. on one hand, his signature rhythmics make for some all important body fodder, while his honed synth programation gives way to the most reflective moments. some traits that are always recognizable in his live performance as well...

adam beyers original track starts with a heavy bass line that is a sure-fire, grooved out killer. the infectious vocal hook and melody line supplies the extra force to make this track one of the strongest releases on truesoul to this date. nic fanciullis take on take me away uses a rhythmic melodic synth-line before bringing in the vocal to maximum effect. alans darker approach gives this release an extra dimension, using deep-pounding toms to create a cool, stripped back vibe with warm stabs and hats to match.

the detroit threads record store has survived in one incarnation or another for more than16 years. in this time personal relationships have formed with music makers of every circle over the common bond of vinyl sound. it was a logical step to give back to this community a product that reflects the many faces that make up the store. a store that has been and will continue to be a hub for the exchange of ideas, kept alive by like minded people who still believe in the independent detroit spirit. this spirit shines upon the unique artists that move to their own beat, and never compromise their vision. detroit threads gives a voice to these artists that should be heard. nospectical is walter wasack, jennifer paull, and chistopher mcnamara. they are a team of detroit sound artists that lean into e.d.m. on the minimal tip. their comfort zone is inside of a sounds cape near the sphere of unconsciousness. nospectical is a cool dark breeze that is alive with a pulse. they tread into strangeness and let it come together to form a neurotic world. nospectical works to broaden the view and redefine the depth of detroit techno. detroit threads is proud to support this cause.

streaking through the ether at twice the speed of sound, mr 8040 is on a date with destiny. he is heading for mikrosector-50, his home planet, but things are not going as smoothly as planned. en route he finds himself in sticky situations, cosmic encounters that trigger flashbacks to a different time and place. will he ever make it home? and who – or what – is he running from?
this, more or less, is the narrative thrust of jack hamills debut album as space dimension controller. welcome to mickrosektor-50 is a swashbuckling sci-fi odyssey that unfolds like some long-lost star wars episode scripted by philip k dick and scored by tangerine dream. the record is fantasy in its purest form: a futuristic boys own adventure concocted in a belfast bedroom, it is the sum of jacks musical influences distilled into 68 minutes of unalloyed electronic pleasure.

madteo (aka matteo ruzzon) creates music whose understatement is overwhelmingly compelling. an italian native who moved to new york city in the early 90s, madteo has forged a production style that casts techno, house, and hip-hop in a gritty, stripped-down subterranean murk. his keen ear for unusual tonalities and his inventive tweaking of rhythmic tropes lend his music a functionality that feels anything but perfunctory.

4lux is proud to serve you the sounds of italian deep house pioneer enrico mantini. this twelve cleverly combines two of mantinis most sought-after classics

first in is a beat heavy analogue chug rework of the rare and weird italo 7 inch *i am your master* by the mysterious italo connoisseur savino dj and dj peet need based in holland. the arpeggiating bass line digs a circular trench that gets deeper as the track marches on until you end up stuck on an island with a strange creepy midget man. music that blurs the line between disco dreams and nightmares starion is back for more on ep2. how will he make a heavier track than ep1s *another dimension*? by making *darkstar*. analogue manctalo chug at its finest. big bass line, big synth chords, big vocoder action. you couldnt get more dark disco electronic if you went clubbing with daleks and the cybermen were djing.

blue hawaii, arbutus records and many of their montreal counterparts all began with the same breath in early 2010. to date blue hawaii has released an 8 song ep: in may of that year, blooming summer (arbutus records 2010) was recorded following the pairs travels in central america. it frames a time of warmth and novelty, featuring dense female harmonies, tape saturated synths, guitars and drum machines. eventually ra- returned to her role in braids, touring constantly, while ag– moved to europe, treading deeper into dance music, electronics, and production. the two decided to make untogether in 2012, they began recording on new years day in vancouver and intermittently worked on the project until summer broke in montreal. the music followed their winter in canada, it became colder, more introspective. it again captured a time and place, but instead of a dense saturation of love and excitement, this record reflects the vast world of self-awareness and delicacy.

2013 is the debut album from justin velor, a vibrant technicolor collision of styles (you might call it a musical dr. frankenstein, he says) incorporating everything from vangelis-inspired synth drones and nocturnal acid house rhythms to tender folk melodies and psychedelic flourishes. >i wanted to make a fantastical soundscape with colourful dynamics and a soul,< he explains.

drumma keeps delivering special and serious tracks for the dancefloor with its fifth vinyl release. for this ep, jorge savoretti, owner of savor records from argentina gives us an amazing trio of productions. the titular track of the ep, tai ere, is an amazing dub-techno composition that builds up and grooves continuously teasing and titillating the listener.the two machines compositions are gritty techno tracks that get the party going. machines 02 is a relentless hi-hat driven track that can be dropped at peak time. machines 00 is the more relaxed of the two a-sides but no less stimulating than its counterpart. a powerful vocal sample and bassline combine perfectly to make a bomb track.
early support from:luc ringeisen, d julz, luciano, dubfire, r.hawtin, barem, franco cinelli, federico molinari, nekes, martinez, ray okpara, butch, leon, mulder, alejandro vivanco, francisco allendes, julian perez, marc antona, mihai popoviciu, luke solomon, gel abril, willie graff and many more....

to celebrate the 5th birthday from skryptom we decided to propose a best of the label in 13 tracks for 13 releases and an exclusive selection of fine tunes to make 3 various ep with all the skryptom artists and friends.

the opener is a traditional jola rhythm, typically fast and energetic, with tuned, talking and kit drums swarming over a kind of skeletal downhome guitar, somewhere between blues and disco. the mboup brothers make a soaring, impassioned plea for an end to division and bloodshed in their casamance homeland. then a more deeply dug-in, spaced-out funk, edgily spun from a serer rhythm, underpinning mbenes reflective song about parental sacrifice. sama yaye, my mother. both with full instrumental versions.

karlovak continues... #1 sold out in a flash and here they are with kvk200! some proper straight forward house music witha nice warm feel that makes you long for summer house parties and good times! mr. tophat and art alfie are improving rapidly and there productions become beter by each release, withouth loosing the feeling of joy and passion. crab at the green hunter and the disco injected no holdings both are tunes that make you want to join in on the fun and that make look out for a good club night.

another clever techno release with emphasis on quality and structure and not forgetting the input from detroit dub merchant luke hess. *terminator reserve* is dominated by a thick bass line, razor sharp percussion, devastating juno stabs and with tonnes of analogue warmth coming from its abyssal depths. the luke hess remix provides the deep qualities of the original however its much more repetitive in its nature making it truly hypnotic and one you cannot help but get completely lost in. on the b side *mediator* is rough and ready ... booming kicks, dynamic bass shifts accompanied by the right amount of snare and filter inputs make this one of the toughest on the release not forgetting that its split down the middle with a heavy 303 bleed. highly recommended! *stilled* runs off in the opposite direction to the other track it shares the b with as its laden with detroit influenced floating chords and percussion.

when wncl012 hero, kevin mcphee, dropped the unreleased bobby champs dubplate of *krenshaw* in his boiler room set last year, the cassette library instantly knew that they had found their lucky star for wncl013. with his trademark boxy drum sound littering the contents of this ep, the man who likes *…making songs that make you want to dance* has done it again.

ascs brand new imprint, diode, kicks off with 3 techno tracks. full of vibrance and the usual production nuances we have come to expect from asc over the years. solenoid is the lead track and gets straight down to business with no messing about. heavy kicks, keys laden with fx, and snappy percussion make this a firm floor tune. on the flip, we have the moody and sinister release, which flirts with darkness, and backing it up is the essential carrier. 3 standout tunes from a name synonymous with quality electronic music.

2 expansive masterpieces driven by emotive leads & tightly laced beats ready to make the crowd go ballistic
