man of mystery, a sagittariun, may not be the first, nor the last, in a long lineage of techno producers to go undercover and under a veil of anonymity, but the west country artist doesnt use this cloak to stir up any hype, quite simply the music does the talking, and since 2011, has released a breath taking selection of music on his own elastic dreams label. and so the archer lands on hypeltd after only one other foray onto labels other than his own (2014s lost cities ep for secretsundaze).

australias one-man storm of tropical funk tornado wallace returns to beats in space records with the acid-flecked two-tracker, kangaroo ground & ferntree gully.

das album ist ein aufregender mix zwischen hommage und frische, das statement eines jungen künstlers, der furchtlos seine einflüsse feiert und selbstbewusst seine eigene originalität vertritt. die songs huldigen elementen der amerikanisch-afrikanischen kultur in den usa, die romare studiert hat. der name lehnt an romare bearden an, dem bekannten cut n paste künstler, dessen technik auch bei der entstehung der songs inspirationsquelle war. romare novelliert den profunden kulturellen einfluss der kollagentechnik für eine neue generation von hörern. jetzt, als teil von ninja tune, ist die bühne hergerichtet für das debütalbum * projections*, das, wie die besten alben aus der dance-musik, geprägt von szene und genres ist, aber nicht ausschließlich durch diese. es ist ein eigenständiges, fesselndes universum, das seine erforschung belohnt. die doppel-lp erscheint auf 180 gramm vinyl, inklusive downloadcode.

shipping earliest monday , march 2nd. home invasion is the new label from real tone man franck roger, a man whose career has scaled the full depths of house music over the past decade or so. evidently seeking a new challenge, the parisian s new imprint promises to adhere to a vehemently underground way of working, with every ep released upfront on vinyl-only terms and produced exclusively on analogue equipment. franck roger is back this time in solo with 3 fresh tracks made in is home invasion laboratory, this time going back to some proper raw stuff on the a side, going back to his new jersay roots on vib’ray shun that will remind us some of the old bno traxx made back in the days from the deep, what we used to call the french touch but in the underground scene for those who reminds that era… immersion is a deep kind of aquatic hypnotic track with a little ‘clin d’oeil’ for the old prescription records wich has been one of francks all time influencing label…on the b side we keep exploring a more abstract side of franck wich will remind us his work on earthrumental records ..sub division of real tone rds.. a modern approach of his dubby influences.

entitled narita, the release is inspired by, and dedicated to, japan, and the tracks are a collage of all the experiences and emotions the producer has picked up there whilst on his travels. this release was also due to be the 44th on the label (which has now made it up to number 67) and so has clearly been cooking for a long time. once again it proves the man behind it to be focused on stripped back and hypnotic grooves, shadowy textures and subliminal synths that are abstract and truly heady. up first, sleepless is a spooky and hypnotic techno roller with icy pads and rubber drums that roll on like a haunted midnight train burrowning deep into your brain. ebisu is even more reserved, with just a light, skipping kick and tinkling, glassy keys suspending you in a wide open space of abstract atmospheric soun d. on th e flip side, mountain splitter is more urgent and immediate, with nervy pads this time racing alongside woodpecker precision and supple drums. it s heady stuff that really distracts you from the world before finally trance is a wash of grainy white noise and groaning synths that soundtrack a word deep down in the depths of the ocean. svreca is a master of getting deep inside both body and brain and does so in different but captivating ways with all four of these cuts.

last few years have seen barac capturing the very soul of the romanian underground in a very productive yet very unreleased manner. few carefully selected tracks have been released while others are probably kept for the right moment. with his album on metereze running hot and a new label under his command barac is for sure the man of the hour. better yet, the man of the moment. for the first instalment of his new moment imprint he teams up with friend and fellow producer vincent iulian. these two go way back and they have a lot of history together. music wise they share the same passion for driving mysterious tech grooves and theory ep is all about that. in form is groovy and dark with a haunting synth accompanied by subtle xylophones. on the other side we take a dive in the atmospheric breaks grooves of in colour. uplifting and mysterious with the right amount of balls to keep you going.

siriusmo, jan driver and gene siewing on the one piece of vinyl? aber hallo! the third release on berlins intent recordings sees two of the funkiest germans known to man (and woman) teaming up with their favourite st. louis export.

the french born but valencia established silvain soulier has grown as his home label sincopat. darlyn vlys has reached top labels as suara, mos ferry, terminal m, form, noir or avotre. he joins now the prolific brighton boy thomas gandey, aka cagedbaby, with a succession of club hits in his career, a really close friend and collaborator with radio slave and fatboy slim and a regular on get physical amongst others. they present two amazing original tracks that show perfectly the vocal skills of thomas and the edge production of darlyn vlys. hero and dont do it are a mixture of breaks, organic bass and cinematic music. yousef, the man behind circus recordings, delivers a surprising rework to destroy the dancefloors. by his side, stefano ritteri choose the dynamism to get a solid piece of tech-house.

it has been a long time between drinks for german band bambi - and it is something of a triumphant return, too. last time we heard from them, back in 2000, they were a post minimal rock duo comprising of guitarist/vocalist robin van velzen and drummer hans christian fuss. a decade and a half of live improvisation and a multitude of collaborations later, they return as a balearic rock four-piece. the bands newest members, former mountaineer man frank mollena and sofia fuss, were asked to join following a particularly successful series of live collaborations and improvisational jams. through balearic post-rock territory, with van velzens weary, emotional vocals riding a wave of vibrant colours, backwards hazy, intoxicating and evocative, it sounds like a horizontal anthem in the making. one sided, hand numbered, limited to 500 copies.

san francisco-based dj/producer nick monaco has long been part of the soul clap family, releasing his first 12- on the label back in 2012. mating call, a double 12- set running at album length, is easily his most expansive release yet. it s typically eccentric, delivering a range of songs - featuring his own distinctive vocals - that blend numerous styles whilst retaining a loose, funky and altogether rather kaleidoscopic feel. it s rooted in balearic pop, but also touches on dub, deep house, boogie, dub disco and a strangely deep and contemporary take on the triple-beat rhythms of glam rock. it s hard to accurately describe, but is really rather good, certainly, it s one of soul clap s strongest releases of recent times.

nc-17s grindhou5e imprint is home to a roster of star names including state of mind, the upbeats, mr. xplicit, smooth, and the man himself. now in its third year, the label is based in ncs home town of toronto, canada, and has become a go-to label for those looking for drum & bass with a difference.

vinyl only release
concept e25 is back! wax classic 15 sees concept e25’s third release on the label in the space of just a year! the demand has been overwhelming for more garage house hits with that added subtle, french flourish. we heard those cries, so here we have another slammin four track record from the man himself! the opening track of the ep, sing!, is destined for greatness this summer on dance floors everywhere. for me, this will be the go-to track of the record for most djs out there. on this track, concept e25 combines a pumping kerri style bassline with beautiful sustained chords, feel good vox cuts and the occasional sax line. proper hands-in-the-air vibes here! giving it takes the ep into a deeper realm, one that evokes images of late evening summer sunsets. however, the garage swing and signature concept e25 bass sound is still present. lies leads with moody chords before introducing a vocal that will be stuck in your head for a long time! again, we have a smooth sax line to accompany the vocal up to the track’s climax. rounding out this solid release is feel this way. here, the punchy bass hits are united with an acid line that bubbles underneath, before being unleashed halfway through the track in a warehouse-reminiscent burst of resonance.

following the success of its first release by the ever elusive jason grove, the vinyl-only sub-label skylax extra series returns with a little something beyond special. for those house-heads in the know, the man needs no introduction, but for those uninitiated, sit back and prepare for this double 12” selection to further your education in house music.joey kay hails from chicago in the us and has influenced a great many producers in the last two decades with his signature take on the deep house sound. he keeps things simple in the best possible sense of the word, stripping back tracks to their bare essentials in order to maintain what the spirit of house music is all about: the groove, the soul and the feeling of being carefree, even if only experienced for a few minutes at a time. there are no superfluous or ancillary sounds in joey’s music and this is all the more evident when taking a step back and listening to his spectrum of output in this collection, which spans more than twenty years of his career.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears ! what a special one we have here on skylax classic! damien zala, the man who put out the superb album ‘lonely happiness’ on rowtag records in late 2012, who gets heavy support from the great theo parrish, dishes up six special tracks for our next release. before diving in, it is well worth noting that a selection of damiens album tracks had remixes by the likes of house icons such as dj jus-ed, rick wade and boo williams! if those names register even the slightest blip on your radar, which they should, then this record might be the treasure youve been searching for. damiens sampling technique has a certain air of grandeur to it. shake vibration makes this apparent right from the start with intricate layers of vocals, guitar licks and keys. all my respect and come around both follow suit whilst dizzie picks up the b side with a bit more energy and frenzy compared to what has come before it. the record rounds out with two tracks taking things a bit deeper. stay where you are drives forward with filtered pad chords that accompany jazzy sax and vocal cuts while conversely, z to the jz brings in a moodier vibe with its jazz samples and smoky drums. do not miss the chance to get such a gem of a record from damien zala!, c l a s s i c ! a must to have in every djs collection. essential item no digital

slow town records has really picked up the pace this year, delivering essential 12- singles from riccio and qx-i, amongst others. here, they round of 2014 with an ep of positively edible deep house from fouk man hans peeman. in typical peeman fashion, there s plenty of soul to the liquid beats and rich chords of -prologue-, while -monologue- is an attractive saunter through classic detroit deep house with the restless energy of a chicago production. mr k-s remixes the title track, delivering a heavily percussive version that sounds like a plea to head towards the dancefloor, pronto. a touch darker and altogether heavier, it offers an excellent alternative to peeman s eyes-wide-shut original.
