raised in haifa, israel, now located in amsterdam, this duo of sonic explorers have had acclaimed releases on a host of cult labels like psychostasia, underground quality, dekmantel & many more. having already released the incredible *release the golem pt. 1* & *jewsex* on everyones favourite nyc label, the pair make ready with their most claustrophobic and menacing outing yet. the original version on the a side stays in the same tempo territory as their dekmantel classic *african flower* but concocts a much more spacious and heady atmosphere, reminiscent of mark gages vapourspce project. side b takes us directly to the dancefloor, utilising the same bubbling bass sequence but transposing it onto a devastingly propulsive rhythm track, like the angry cousin of their *bleached roots* and *powow* classics. a formidablle force in modern dance music, at the height of their powers!

character has many forms. musical interests too. mr.mau shows his deeper side in this very diverse ep, translated in three brilliant tracks. inspired by many other artists, he managed combine the hardware and software into a must have ep for people who want to experience the essence of the style of life thats called techno: a broad way of interpretation and translating feelings into music.

ida engberg describes collage like so: not many things in life beat the true experience of the perfect party. that definitive moment when location, music and people all come together in the same place to create that perfect shared experience. it is about that vibe that can only exist when all those components work together in perfect harmony.

on the original one, a decadent intro with swishing reverse cymbals, create like a perfect countdown for the incoming hypnotic melody. these two elements, along with a deep half-step beat, continue their propagation for the whole track, made with a certain dose of style and precision.
the real explosion comes with the acclaimed remix made by artikal (j:kenzo & mosaix) who have masterfully dubbed out the version increasing the kicks, making a real runaway hit, already played and supported by many djs as youngsta and amit on rinsefm.

based on a discography that stretches back to 2006, dachshund has long been one of the leading figures in switzerland’s electronic music scene. initially making his appearance in 2006 on num records, he quickly struck up a lasting relationship with co-chief quenum, the two remain collaborators to this day both as studio partners and co-curators of the clapper imprint. dachshund has since released on many storied dance labels: ilian tape, harthouse mannheim, perspectiv, contexterrior, and frequent home highgrade records. such a pedigree alone justifies his peers respect, and caduceus records is proud to present the yellowstone ep, featuring remixes from gerome sportelli, arttu, and lad.

nick lapiens debut release as metropolis garnered little attention when it materialized last year. a skeptical yet dedicated network of underground heads built up a subterranean buzz that has yet to spread into the daylight. that initial transmission was thick with the raw analogue flavors that have become ever-present in dance floor fare recently—but his is a sound that is dedicated to the emotive, narrative aspects of electronic music rather than simple fetishization or passing curiosity in the days of yore. this, his second release as metropolis, shows a more focused and patient hand at work. the titular track on the a side is a deep, psychedelic groover. melodies, textures and sequences undulate and intertwine within a lightless atmosphere guided by lapien with optimum restraint. equally pensive and gorgeous, the flood serves as a machine’s beat-less foil on the reverse. made up of little more than feedback and two slow, echo laden arpeggiated sequences, this is reminiscent of jean michel jarre’s more sinister moments: a brilliant paradox of economy and indulgence. expect to hear more from lapien here at sequencias. he has many more dark corners left unexplored.

after the great release from label owner samann, traxx underground is proud to serve you a name that all of you will know for sure nys finest a guy from new york who did many releases in the 90s with different alias (victor simonelli, cloud 9, groove committee ect) one track among the strongest do you feel me. back now after 20 years with these three sensational tracks.

>bridging the gap between the old & the new, the minimal & the maximal, minmax represents a widening of scope as we explore the area between the sounds of classic minus & plus 8. as others subdivide and categorize we bring things back together, opening things up more freely and allow a closer connection to the music that i love and the sounds & textures that many of my dj sets journey through.< richie hawtin

bill youngman has been around for almost 20 years with releases on legendary labels like serotonin, scandinavia and tresor. he crossed many styles from melodic electro to really, really harsh techno, but recently he seems to have found his very own personal style. the music he released on killekill in the last two years show a very singular approach to techno and electro. percussive, deep, melodic, toolish – all at the same time.

der vorabtrack made to stray aus dem neuen album cold spring fault less youth schlug in der weltweiten trendszene ein wie der blitz: von pitchfork bis nme, von fact bis resident advisor überschlugen sich die aufgeregten lobeshymnen zum ersten neuen mount kimbie material seit zwei jahren. das visionäre duo, seit seinem debüt als neue vordenker in sachen elektronischer musik anerkannt, hat die schwammige schublade des post-dubstep endgültig verlassen und entflieht mit live-instrumentierung, warmen keyboardsounds und geerdeten schlagzeugbeats der enge des dance/electro-kontextes. auch die verpflichtung des enigmatischen vokalisten king krule dürfte ihren anteil daran haben. die elf neuen mount kimbie tracks wirken reifer, selbstbewusster und noch mutiger, und ihr wechsel zu warp wird ihre entwicklung hin zu noch ganz anderen klanggefilden, kontexten und konstellationen weiter beflügeln.

chris spero (otherwise known as uk house and techno producer glimpse) and hypercolour co-founder and producer, alex jones, return once again as dense & pika to the hotflush fold with move your body back. having crept out of the shadows back in 2011 with a collection of white labels released through their own eponymous imprint, dense & pika went on to bolster their rising profile with the release of their hotflush debut (crispy duck) which landed late last year as well as with their memorable live set at hotflushs recent boiler room takeover. there is nothing chin-strokingly complicated or needlessly over-worked about their productions. they make interesting techno aimed at the dance floor and move your body back continues with this central aesthetic. the three track ep plunders percussive depths by way of stern machine rhythms, swollen low-end grit and the echoing, anthemic elements of warehouse rave techno. the title track of the ep may already be familiar to many having appeared on their resident advisor podcast in march and is already being played out by maya jane coles, boddika and adam beyer, amongst others.

a refreshing deep house tune, upholding the basics of the genre, yet enhancing them and experimenting in various ways, a rare sight for younger artists. sweet bass line, nice non-tiring kicks, ambient sounds and low vocals sounding like subliminal rites, producing a sensual result that should satisfy the demanding deep house listener. remarkable rise and drop of intensity during different parts of the track, mid voices spanning across a few measures to enrich the different parts, and many other little touches, make the track sound refreshing even after many hearings.

for many the ultimate visionary and sonic wizard, mathew jonson delivers a rare solo album for crosstown rebels with her blurry pictures, encompassing a new evolution in his rhythmically complex and timeless approach over eight fluid and rich compositions.

ok, first of all i want to reveal a myth: these infotexts are mostly writtenby the labelowners themselves, not by hard-working editors. so what happens, when the guy behind a label releases his own music? well, either he is a well-organised deadline-machine and he asks somebody capable of doing this stupid job, or he realizes:
>oh fuck the distribution whats to do their work and they needed thissheet weeks ago...< so in the end, hes gotta do it himself: of course,now i could tell you how great this record is (what it is!) and what ahell of a motherfucker i am (also true!)... but i prefer telling yousentimental other bullshit instead... :)
this ep marks a newbeginning in my career. since some time now, >the fog burns off< and we get more and more stable in the buisness. last year we were on the road quite a bit and we found many new friends. people from other cities, who believe in the same things, who do similar stuff and who are of the same kidney as we are. so that makes me very happy, which reflects in the music. for the first time i feel like coming home, although we are at the beginning of our journey into the industry yet.

the first 10 inch release of above smoke, brother of dubbyman, on the zurich based music label deepartsounds. limited to 158 copies only! besides working on various remixes and technical mastering for many artists and labels at the hole of dub studio in madrid, he also released marvelous and highest quality music on the label deep explorer music, yore records and many others

pontape was originally released on carl coxs intec label back in 2002 and sold over 50000 copies worldwide. this led to renato playing at clubs around the world such as fabric, womb, space and i love techno among many more. renato cohen has remade his pontape original eleven years on, bringing new life to one of technos classic records. beginning with the immediately recognisable droning bass line that has become so synonymous with the release, cohen introduces a build during the middle section that gives the track a new depth second time around. alan fitzpatrick has been selected for remix duties

following huge success from the past releases in the series, including a spin by theo parrish during his boiler room set, sjnrl09 is here. five huge edits from volcov, pushing the same vibes that have seen sjrnl become a favourite of so many.

1nce again is back, this time with the first single in a double package! this is the first of two 12 inches containing one of our absolute favourite tracks from prolific producer ken duke aka dj duke. closer was orginally released back in 1994 on dukes power music records and the amazing klubb kidz mixes quickly found its way into many djs record bags, including label boss mad mats who rates the flava dub as one of his favourite deep house cuts of all time. if u ever heard mats spinning a house set chances are big you have heard this mix blasted loud! first up for remixes duties this time is mark seven, parkway/parkwest label owner, a true djs dj, a passionate music lover and record collector extrodinare. the so close mix of closer is deep house at its finest, an homage to the classic prescription sound keeping it ultimately atmospheric. the stalker mix continues on the same vibe yet develops into something more meaty and pumping during its course. together with the original klubb kidz flava dub and the mark seven mixes this release got everything a true deep house head needs.

canadian producer/dj nathan jonson, aka hrdvsion, has been making increasing waves in the house world over the last few years with a stream of acclaimed releases for labels such as wagon repair and international deejay gigolo, and remixes for institutions like hypercolour and crosstown rebels.
his >i like the feeling you re giving me ep< for rinse encapsulates many aspects of his sound, drawing strongly both from detroit technos woozy, melody-soaked romanticism and the precision and intricacy of minimalist european house and techno. it is an intoxicating blend. its tracks are immediate and rhythmically compulsive enough to draw dancers deep into its groove, yet find jonson continually tweaking the musics depth of field to disorient the senses.

nice price deal !!! so now, here is karezza by the way, karezza is not the soft feel of the wind on your skin but magick extreme tantric sex, the end of a voyage for us in a way, the beginning for you. a record to be proud of, albeit not an easy one. it has already blown away acid luminaries like james holden, ed chemical, piers martin, konrad black, it will certainly enlighten many more in many dark ways.

keith tuckers optic nerve persona returns with the timelapse ep. side a1 minimal detroit mix is a dark minimal mood beat pumped excursion into techno floor stumper. a2 time displacement mix is a completely different take with alternative beats creating a sort of shift in time. the tracks show tuckers growth and influence on electro and techno with his work in aux 88. side two one moment in time is a detroit sort of metroplex gem. tucker once again shows his melodic melodies and baselines that shows his love for detroit music and grooves. a highly thought out sequence of great sounds and string chords as only optic nerve does it. tucker has hinted many times that he has a lot of unreleased music from his metroplex days! b2. transient force records label owner as1 gives us a true electro mix which keeps alot of the original mix of one moment in time. the tone is a more electro clash techno mesh of urban beat programming for the electro heads.

one of the uks most established and consistent deep house producers, jimpster, is due to drop his eagerly anticipated porchlight and rockingchairs lp. his first studio album in six years sees him continue where he left off on the 2006 masterpiece amour by taking the blueprint of house music and infusing it with an attention to detail and musicality often lacking in much of todays more disposable dance music. during the interim period, jamie has maintained a key role in two of the uks most successful house labels, freerange and delusions of grandeur, where he continues to pick up and establish new talent at an impressive rate. over the course of his 23 year career so far he has remixed everyone from josh wink, osunlade and solomun through to bob marley, airto moreira and seal, as well as continuing to dj week-in week-out at many of the worlds best clubs and festivals.

back in december 2012 we brought you the sounds of the unheard from our romanian ambassadors future nuggets. the compilation gained plaudits from across the globe and was even named by andrew weatherall as one of his compilations of the year. steaua de mare featured heavily and the band was instantly noted for their smokey psychedelic sound. their unique sound comes from many directions. they bring elements of prog, dub, psychedelic rock and contemporary gypsy music (manele) mainly from romania and bulgaria into the mix.

following on from the well-received first ep from dusky, school records return with their second release, this time from paleman. at just 19. manchesters paleman is a fast rising talent with support from the likes of loefah and mary ann hobbs already in the bag, on top of many plays on radio 1, rinse and xfm. the world has been waiting for a paleman release for a while now, and on this evidence it is unlikely to be disappointed.

brother jt is central, pa’s john terlesky whose freewheeling boundless music has been released under many different monikers: brother jt & vibrolux, brother jt3 and most commonly brother jt. he has worked with an impressive roster of tastemakers such as drag city, siltbreeze, birdman, and drunken fish. brother jt is a moniker that finds terleskys songwriting and ample guitar skills taking a decidedly psychedelic form but never deviating too far from the classic song structure.
