dj raw sugar is a native of berlin, but has done a 6 year stint in new zealand and now resides in perth. his productions are deep and raw house beats mixed with jazz, boogie, disco, funk and soul. over the years he has put out music via other peoples labels like gazeebo international, midnight riot and ism, but is now taking matters into his own hands via love sexy records - a label he has just started. the debut release kicks off with a piece from the man himself! it s a sweet and sultry slice of disco. inkswel, also australian based, takes up remix duty taking the track in a more club-ready direction. slow goodness all over!

mysterious man that is monsieur georget… fresh off the back of an admirable ep on sammy dee s cult imprint ultrastretch, he returns with a freaky francais offering for adult only shape. minimalist in its nature yet meaty in its stature, the 3-track package features glitches, scratches and vocal murmurs, varying from the effortlessly sexy >en voiture simone< and highly-addictive >viens fifine<, to the driving tribal beat of > georget au piquet<. adult only shape is the new sub-label of chris carriers adult only, the prolific imprint that has been releasing the best in quality house since 2000. adult only shape brings a more techno-orientated flavour in vinyl-only format , with eps so far from funk e and marcman.

fast-rising glaswegian producer boom merchant is a man whose sound is hard to pigeonhole, but is draped in rich and sinewed quality regardless. further indication of the glaswegian scenes propensity for churning out top-quality producers, he brings his stylish way of working to the fore once more here on his recent outing for his own label, the burgeoning tribal pulse - itself a medium for dizzyingly eclectic fare.

ultraphat stomping dubstep infected techno... prime time

>i am ok<, reads the title of the new album by the berlin-based producer, dj and label-owner oliver koletzki. the heading0s ambiguity is, of course, deliberate: theres a deeper meaning hidden behind the humorous facade that is chrisse kunsts hand-drawn cover, which depicts an unadorned thirteen-year-old oliver sporting nerd glasses and a striped jumper: i am oliver koletzki, raw and authentic. because musically, on his fifth studio album, oliver koletzki looks towards the unaffected freshness of back in the day, and thus, consciously returns to his roots.

very special release on bosconi from soulboy riccio just few months after his astonishing disco burner -put the man out- on the stallions compilation and the acclaimed releases on fly by night and slow town. this time our disco wizard delivers with the track pretty eyes, according to us, one of his best piece of music to date!

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.

2nd reference for the parisian based label. no name dropping here, just another side project of the man d.k. the house groove is served with rough percussion and and odd beats programming. strictly for the freakz.

nachdem das letztjährige jagwar ma-album -howlin- dance- und indie-pop-freunde gleichsam in seinen bann zog und die musikpresse in dem werk die direkte nachfolge zu primal screams -screamadelica- sah, ist nun die zeit reif für die -the time and space machine dub sessions-. beeinflusst von dub und krautrock hat sich richard norris (the grid) an die regler gesetzt und einige der schlüssel-tracks des albums nochmals radikal überarbeitet. jagwar ma spielen die beiden festivals melt! und dockville und werden dabei erstmals auf hiesigen bühnen ihre musik vorstellen.

truesoul records are proud to announce the release of let your soul outside, the debut album from reset robot in april 2014.

eine bestechende auswahl an belebenden house tracks. bis dato vielleicht der beste cocolores remix, plus einem großartig-atemberaubenden remix von anushka (neuer künstler auf gilles petersons brownswood label) und wieder einmal ein toller und smarter lukas bohlender house-mix. das spiel ist noch lange nicht vorüber, es hat gerade erst auf dem richtigen fuß begonnen! robinn ist eindeutig ein frischer name/act, den es zu entdecken, beobachten und verfolgen gilt. es ist beruhigend und zugleich fesselnd, wenn man sich den modernen hybriden aus post-dubstep, nu broken soul, düsterem downbeat kombiniert mit den authentisch-stimmungsvollen vocals von nathaniel pearn (natural self / tru thoughts) hingibt. robinns album -multiphonia- erschien im oktober 2013 auf compost records.

mit der light of day ep geben keine geringeren als d.diggler und franksen ihr treibjagd debut. beides namen zu denen nicht viel hinzuzufügen ist wenn man sich in der welt der elektronischen musik bewegt

canadian producer kevin mcphee has already released an assured and consistent schedule of records since 2011, cropping up on strong independent labels such as idle hands, demolition man (with gerry read), wncl recordings and our own hypeltd (2011s blue organ ep). so its a return to hypercolour for mr. mcphee, with the boris ep, with added clout from a superb trevino remix.

das stimmt, es ist vielleicht sogar das erste mal fuer monkeytown. es zeigt wie sehr wir an alex banks und seine musikalische vision glauben. die tiefe emotionalitaet seiner energetischen musik hallt eben lange nach. die tracks auf illuminate sind so komplex geschichtet und dennoch so zugänglich, dass man bei jedem neuen hoeren etwas neues zu entdecken vermeint. alex ist virtuoser multiinstrumentalist und man hoert den ineinander verschachtelten beat strukturen an, dass sich hier jemand intensiv mit kompositionslehre auseinandergesetzt hat

anchored between the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, when industrial music courted funk, when electro(nica) made a shy appearance and house was visceral and plaintive, also inspired by current r&b productions and futuristic hip-hop, tropics of love is a slow tempo record that shines like a steel sun and rings diabolically romantic.
the double 12 inch lp comes in gatefold sleeve with cd-copy of the full album included.

death in vegas main man and drone founder richard fearless delivers an epic dance track.

considering the combined talents of detroit veteran terrence dixon and black jazz consortium man fred p, you d expect this split ep for finale sessions to be a lesson in warm, soul-flecked depth. pleasingly, that s exactly what it delivers. dixon excels with the sub-sporting alien futurism of -to the bridge- - the aural equivalent of staring into space while dancing to electronic jazz - and the sumptuous, minor key bliss of the casual deep house jam -starting over-. fred p, meanwhile, delivers two contrasting cuts. there s some acid-fuelled deep house futurism in the shape of -circuit-, and a chunk of bongo-laden dancefloor humidity in -the road-, whose rising strings and sweet melodies are arguably the highlight of a superb ep.

four parts in one quadrifolio of a release. 7 inch double pack release. limited edition. features customisable artwork from the man himself.

superconscious records is an inprint curated by long time friends francis inferno orchestra & fantastic man.

many reggae artists are lucky to make one breakthrough to the music mainstream. horace andy has managed not only to make a mark with *skylarking*, but also to deliver the definitive reggae version of soul singer-songwriter bill withers evergreen *aint no sunshine*. one of reggaes most distinctive singers, andy has managed to sound as credible delivering social commentary as he does love songs. as one critic put it, *the fragile, vulnerable qualities of his voice could invariably be relied upon to add dignity and sincerity to songs*, the proof is everywhere on this compilation.

the latest installment from the labels mystery man takes us out of the jungle and into the mountains, where syncopated analog rhythms dance beside electric melodies surrounding a caravan of textures and reflection. not much else needs to be said about this one except its either for you or not, if so, enjoy and elevate.

der erfrischende psychedelic-pop des gleichnamigen django django debütalbums wurde 2012 direkt für den mercury prize nominiert und in den weltweiten jahresbestenlisten abgefeiert (musikexpress #1, nme top 10, us-rolling stone top 30). nun stellt die band ihre persönliche afterhours-session zusammen, in der sie zeitlose perlen aus den plattensammlungen ihrer eltern (roy davis jr, nilsson, james last) mit hip hop und modernen bass-sounds von heute (ramadanman, tnght aka hudson mohawke & lunice, outkast) mischen, ohne dabei ihre einflüsse von sonnengetränktem sixties-pop (beach boys, seals & crofts) zu vergessen. als exklusives bonbon steuern django django zudem eine eigene coverversion des *porpoise song* von the monkees bei. und wie üblich beendet eine exklusive gutenacht-geschichte jedes set, diesmal erzählt von topdarsteller benedict cumberbatch, bekannt aus filmhighlights wie *12 years a slave*, *star trek* oder *the hobbit*

following label own conception as a theater stage and an ideal space for artists and musicians, kuba sojka definitely fits envlp plans with *music from vhs tapes ep*. a work that goes beyond italian borders and confirms the international fame, immediately reached with the amazing *der himmer über berlin*.

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 upfront released on vinyl-only terms and produced exclusively on analogue equipment

without a doubt, manfredi romano (aka dj tennis) is a busy man. co-founder and partner of life and death, a dj with a full schedule and someone who still always has his fingers (and mind) in multiple projects and multiple places at the same time. how he juggles it (or when he sleeps) are questions best not pondered. one thing those who know him well have surely noticed is that he does it all while constantly on the move. unfazed by the constant whirl of cities that pass him by, he somehow manages to remain focused throughout. no matter where he goes, he somehow always manages to remain local.

romans 1 - the crumbling skeleton of a lost civilization! romans is tin man and gunnar haslam. this is their first collaboration debut release on tinmans own label venture. tip!

tori amos gilt als rätselhaft, bizarr und voller leidenschaft. in den letzten 20 jahren ist sie zur kultfigur aufgestiegen und hat den ruf erlangt, eine der versiertesten künstlerinnen und songschreiberinnen zu sein. jetzt erscheint ihr 14. studioalbum unrepentant geraldines. nach einer serie mehr klassisch inspirierter und innovativer musikalischer ausflüge in den letzten fünf jahren, offenbart unrepentant geraldines die rückkehr zu ihrer ursprünglichen identität als schöpferin zeitgenössischer songs von außergewöhnlicher schönheit. diese werden mit großartigem bandsound zum leben erweckt und bringen tori amos genau zu dem singer/songwirter pop zurück, mit dem sie mehr als 12 mio alben verkauft hat und weltweite charterfolge feiern konnte. es ist auf gewisse weise eines der spannendsten comebacks des jahres - wenn tori amos auch nicht wirklich fort war, so hat sie doch andere pfade beschritten - und man wird davon beeindruckt, wie gut dieses neue popalbum klingt

was max richter mit -vivaldi recomposed- geschafft hat, kann man getrost als -vier jahreszeiten 3.0- bezeichnen. der komponist hat vivaldis ideen in die tonsprache der gegenwart übersetzt und damit einen völlig neuen zugang zum werk ermöglicht. zugleich zeigte er respekt vor dem original und seiner interpretationsgeschichte, und erfreut damit auch jene hörer, die das original lieben und beinahe schon auswendig kennen.
