whiskey disco continues to explore the boundaries blurring the lines between original and edit, disco and oddity. wd47 is helmed by dutchman, olivier boogie, an artist known for strengths across the spectrum, in previous releases, we ve seen his editing on display, no goodbye is a fine balance between original synthesis and editing panache. thoma cher is a newcomer to the edit scene, but has been heavily involved in a disco and house renaissance occurring in shanghai over the last few years. his club chops have honed an acute ear, we love what we re hearing from him and can t wait for more. the b-side is everything a b-side should be: weird. label staple, alkalino guides us along a cosmic journey of boogie-down grooves. arps, baby. we love em. sf crew, jp soul & anthony mansfield have been attracting serious attention of late between outings on roam recordings and sightings at the famous burning man camp, disco knights. to say they are ravelords is an understatement. their pedigree is on full display in warlord, equal parts arp energy and huge (huge) lead, the right balance of fun and cheese.

das könnte leicht schnulzig oder sogar esoterisch wirken. der fakt, dass dem nicht so ist, ist die große stärke von patrick o laoghaire aka i have a tribe. mit seinen gefühlen im reinen zu sein und diese durch die musik auszudrücken. nicht einfach einem trend folgen oder mit einfachen musiktheoretischen strukturen radio-hit-singles produzieren. wie schon davor, lassen die songs auf diesem album viel platz für patrick’s stimme, manchmal kann man sogar den parkett boden unter den füßen knarzen hören. seine interpretation des instruments ist hoch innovativ, er lockt melodien hervor und produziert unprätentiöse rhythmen. vermittelt seine beobachtungen, gedanken und emotionen auf zwei ebenen. das klavier und seine stimme sind die eckpfeiler von “beneath a yellow moon”, und patrick ist von beidem ein meister.

following releases on ndatl & 2mr, the man of the moment delivers 2 originals & a drum track that are dance music lifted by curiosity and refined by gut instinct.

the stimulate side of inertie records was created to provide dark and mental techno for long dancing nights. we are very proud to announce the first 12“ of stimulate side with a hypnotic techno ep by label co-owner, vakarm. after his brilliant ep on berlin based imprint resopal (supported by answer code request, plukkk., johannes volk, mtd, ian o donovan, progression, kvd, nx1, 14anger and many more), french man vakarm is back with three devastating techno tracks. american talent echologist, also well known as brendon moeller or beat pharmacy, brings a powerful remix and perfectly complements the ep. be careful, this is a 300 copies limited release!

melokolektiv s french roots stay firmly put in blame , his first release as a one man project.

anyone familiar with the music of sinisa tamamovic knows the man is an expert in techno floor fillers.... the tracks here are no exception, valentina and confused reside in the world of bold, unrelenting grooves constructed with little more than bass and drums: and they get the job done. the bass lines are distinctly sinisa, simple, catchy, and mixed exquisitely, they take on a whole new attitude when played on club systems. valentina starts things strong, its driving rhythm gains energy as atmospheres develop and an worldly vocal enters, a latin american street rhyme that gives the track some international flare. confused is more raw, employing rough drums and ethereal sound effects. either one will do the trick for peak hours and late nights, and expect to hear these all over the place at wmc 2016

the new release from help presents works from various help-releated artists. another release from the arhus-imprint that doesn’t directly state club-proof, but still, this one wouldn t mind having a spin or two by your local dance pusher.the opening track is by central, a ripe house tune with both melodies and good-vibes - probably the closest this young man has come to making an anthem. next up is the four piece group maizena with an ambiguous rhythmical ambient-house jam from the area of denmark with the least rainfall. on the b-side you’ll find a raw and to the point recording of dj sports and c.k joining ph 1 in his throwback techno-studio in the suburbs of arhus. next up is the long awaited debut from manmade deejay, who has been cooking a floating rhythm jam for this 5 course meal of modern danish cuisine. last but not least amsterdam-based kaap joined central on a fine day at rubber studios to create this dreamy and galloping ride. all in all this genuine piece of wax is filled with local devotion and love from the help-crew. thanks for the support!

after having brought you the critically acclaimed japanese house compilation once upon a time in japan, jazzy couscous introduces one of the most promising artist of the french deep house scene, hugo lx.having worked on a strings of releases in early 2016, french producer hugo lx (courtesy of balance, my love is underground, faces) comes back with another four track offering, with help from fellow french man, korea-based fulbert, on the remix duties. expect some sample-built, bass heavy, deep fried pieces from the nomadic beatsmith, merging influences from japanese dreamy ambiant, french vaporous soundtracks and american deep dance music. this ep will without a doubt be on heavy rotation on the dancefloors this summer!

it s fair to say that boris bunnik has made an impact in his short career. in less than a decade this dutch man, under monikers like conforce and versalife, has scaled electro and techno with subtle ambient touches and idm echoes. and that s exactly what he s doing for the singularity ep. lush pads and flowing bars punctuated by crisp percussion, -shine eye- sets the scene. -autobots- adopts those same brittle beats, this time using them to send dreaming strings skyward. northern winds swirl around the colder chords of -milnet-, chords that dawn into absorbing swirls of -transgenics.- masterful machine music.

hackney, london, producer joel john (aka joel wilson) has been making waves for some time with this intricate experimental techno. his floating arch ep adds some twisted melodies to some of the funkiest machine rhythms known to man. 5 standout tracks from this awesome producer, entrusted to pure tape..

the third instalment of king street sounds kerri chandler focussed house legends series sees us digging into late 90s territory with the ep kicking off with harder gets higher, a stomping garage groove with dope flourishes of live percussion, typically heavy on those swinging drums and the deepest bassline, all of the trademarks we ve come to expect from the man himself

atomium is a bass riff driven phat slo-mo disco funk groove featuring the man himself from funkadelic / parliament with his usual unique vocal playing with you as it rolls along on tripped out harpsichord and vocoder riffs dr. packer dubs it up a little more on remix duties with his usual disco funk edit style that we all know and love him for.

holiday 80s sophomore whiskey disco ep exhibits the upward trajectory of the mysterious polish duo. their first ep showcased slower, smoother sounds, whereas these four songs showcase the grittier side of polish music, one slightly less fashionable, until now. each song is dance-floor-proven to turn out. from the sexy psychedelia of truncheon man and male jeziora to the left-ward jazz house of juhas zmarl and fm cool of letnia milosc. many wd buyers thought their first ep to be finest record on the label, get mokotuff before it s gone too.

the debut release from new label, music makes us, comes from prolific producer ekkohaus. a man who needs no introduction with previous releases on the likes of moonharbour, morris audio, circus company, 2020vision and liebe detail. he delivers a blistering 3 track acid tinged ep which kicks off with block parties (dark entry), a driving acid bassline with a great vocal layered on top. -show you saw- on the b-side is a grooving acid house track, whilst the wack finishes off this debut release in syncopated style.

‘this is eleanore mills’ was her debut and only album, recorded for the sylvia robinson’s all platinum subsidiary astroscope in 1974. the album was produced by harry ray and al goodman of the moments and tommy keith of the rimshots. it includes some great crossover and modern soul cuts, including the in-demand string laden early soul/disco ‘same routine’ a popular killer cut and ‘i’m gonna get you’ another superb up tempo soul cut. ‘fascinating devastating man’ is a lovely mid tempo track. the album includes some beautiful soul ballads ‘he said goodbye’, ‘how can i love you’ and the heavily sampled ‘telegram’ which she rips up, plus ‘teach me’ an amazing near seven minute opus which picks up a heavier groove half way through.

achtung: die platte knackst / knistert leider vor dem ersten break - wie beim vorhörfile ,
* wanted 2 say* heißt die erste singleauskopplung aus dem kommenden samaris album * black light*, das am 10.06. veröffentlicht wird. man übertreibt nicht, wenn man behauptet * wanted 2 say* ist bisher der poppigste song, den samaris je veröffentlicht haben. somit steigt die vorfreude auf das album * black lights* ins unermessliche.

raw, rugged & slightly unhinged serpentine delirium from our man in okayama. equally at home in the warehouse or on the forest floor.

es gibt nur wenige sänger in der soul-musik mit einem einzigartigen sound, der in den 60erjahren begann und immer noch stark gefragt ist. mit seiner atemberaubenden stimme, die tief aus dem herzen kommt und reich an emotionen ist, ist george mccrae einer von diesen künstlern. nach einer beeindruckenden karriere mit einer nr.1 in mehr als 40 ländern, mehreren gold- und platin-auszeichungen, einer grammy-nominierung als bester männlicher r&b-sänger im jahr 1975 und der zusammenarbeit mit legenden wie michael jackson & the jackson 5, james brown, kc & the sunshine band, nile rodgers und bernard edwards und bill wyman, ist george mccrae jetzt wieder mit einem neuen grossartig klassisch und frisch klingendem album ”love” zurück.

with releases on rush hour, mister saturday night and delusions of grandeur, nebraska is a man who needs little introduction. here, he delivers and amazing ep for heist, showcasing his talent for finding those catchy, but hard to pin-down samples. the soften the wireless ep navigates nicely between disco and house with 4 originals and an amazing tom noble remix. khans bargain will be the go to track the more disco minded listeners out there, with a catchy-as-hell synth line that you wish youd made up yourself. the remix, courtesy of nycs finest disco selector tom noble, goes on a clubbier path, turning the silky smooth original into a distorted house jam full of delays and filtered drums. the b-side sees nebraska turning towards the housier side of things himself, with the blues as a perfect example of minimalistic house. here, he uses only a small amount of elements to create an intoxicating and intense groove. it wont be long breezes through with a lighthearted arpeggio and some lovely dreamy vocals to set a more emotional vibe. ep closing track (digi only) varkala is somewhat of a special track, being dug up from an old hard disc and remastered for your listening pleasure. sincerely yours, lars & maarten

the second tape on legowelt s nightwind records cassette series. through his remote viewing powers danny wolfers channeled the music of saab knutson of faroe islands circa 1993. 60 minutes of nordic ambient with a disturbing undertone of dark melancholia with vague notions of distant happiness. saab knutson is a man with many issues, but on the faroe islands there is no time for issues. to stay of sound mind, saab plays his synthesizers in the few spare hours he manages to find, unmistakenly influenced by faroe s spellbinding landscapes and grim climate. though danny has never been to the islands he has a definite puzzling calling to them, a luring force, so to speak. hopefully he will sell enough saab knutson albums so he can fund an expedition and find out more about this mysterious destiny... played on yamaha dx100, roland jx3p, alpha juno 2, emu 16 bit digital sampling keyboard. ruby metallic cassette tape in luxurious faux plastic case

one of the early big records in the uk that preceded the acid house mania that followed in 1988 and mr. lee s first in a string of releases on trax. adonis recalls bumping into mr. lee in the street: what s up with you, adonis? and i said, oh man, i got a record out. i m doin house music and makin money at it. the next time i saw him, he was sayin , hey man, i got a record out too! i can t forget features a more spoken word delivery in comparison to his later productions where he d retooled and become a rapper (of sorts).

nearly a year after his acclaimed debut ep, every inch of you, a musical project meant as an ode to the memory of a once great man, his grandfather, the enigmatic, rosas nievas, steps up to the plate with a sophomore outing for scissor and thread, going away soon on the a-side, the bombastic opener, wastes no time getting its feet moving with charged up percussion, guitar licks, and playful sampling with a clear ode to the likes of matthew herbert.

on a fishing trip two years ago, the two main guys behind africaine 808: d leyers and nomad - went to a tackle shop to buy some creepy crawlies (saltwater worms), not knowing that they were about to make a life changing discovery. in front of the shop a blind man was jammming on a little electronic organ, stomping his feet, singing, growling and basically making a scene. the boys were quite impressed with the fella, who introduced himself as blind double d . they offered to bring him home and record him. he turned the offer down, but offered instead that they could record him on the spot in front of the tackle shop - if they bought him a bottle of good bourbon. he explained that he would never set foot into a studio again in his life: he was sick of music production and the music industry in general, and that he just wanted this bottle of bourbon and to be left alone. the boys got him the bottle, and recorded blind d.d. on the spot with a tape recorder they borrowed from the tackle shop. unfortunately, the tape was stored in one of the tackle boxes over the trip, and some of the creepy crawlies crawled into the tape and stank it all up. this added some extra funk to the recording. with dirk and nomad s usual studio trickery and production skills, they created the two versions of this very very funky, creepy, stanky track. we hope you ll enjoy it as much as we do.

after a two year hiatus graded is back with label founder midland at the controls and its been worth the wait. graded003 picks up where midlands 2013 drumtrak left off, left of centre club music for warehouses and basements alike. the a-side blush first aired during a particularly warm boiler room recording in milan last summer. it turned heads on the night and has garnered endless id requests on the recording ever since. stuttering rolling percussion and a synth line as bold as it is unusual make this one a very strong club tool. on the b-side outpost and holdup take a deeper turn, rich in suspense and expertly programmed drums, theyre unmistakably midland productions drawn from the more obscure corners of his sound pallet.

limited rsd 2016 release.

glasgows junto club return with their second ep. in their own words. this is the second in our planned trilogy of junto club eps. if the first was the birth of the junto club, this is the middle-aged existential crisis. we ve followed the same ethos as the first ep, allowing the music to develop organically rather than being restricted by considerations of genre. naturally, this was shaped by our experiences of the first ep.

throughout the ages man has been obsessed with the idea of the dead coming back to us, either through the power of faith, magic and/or science, or as (horror) arousing visitations from beyond the grave. but cold hands like these neednt be physical: an ambiguous childhood memory, a few burning phrases from a book, or a short but powerful patchwork of tones and rhythms can also come back and haunt you when you least expect it. ritual malmö 02 consists of three such works that have haunted us for some time now, beseeching us to share them like cursed japanese vhs-tapes. who we are is not important - this is forever yours now.

ghosts/spirits is the result of many exorcism sessions, most of them performed unknowingly. the tracks are numbered based on their order of collection. ghosts are generally subtle and linger around more than spirits, which are said to go straight to your mind’s heart. whether you long for a naked dance in the forest, or a subaquatic journey through mermaids and sunken ships, you are welcome to indulge in our musical exorcism, in the name of the tribal forces which brought us rhythm, and the spiritual forces which brought us together. ah,… man
