disco bucuresti is an audio homage to romanias capital, bucharest. growing up between the citys communist blocks of flats and maturing in the citys underground discos left a distinct creative mark on andrei idu (the legendary 1979 orchestra). ever since leaving bucharest for amsterdam, andrei felt the need to tribute the place that shaped him. however, it was only until recently that he found the means necessary to express the feelings he felt. thus, records released during the 70s and 80s in romania as sole sample source, analog drum machines, delays, filters and reverbs, all recorded in live takes come together in this evocative ep.

myako and vincent vidal, side by side behind the dj booth, together in the studio - finally united on a record! they already let their mark on the new techno stage thanks to their powerful and deep set. they definitively wrote the catalog seconde in dazzling style, a trace of techno ink, some black on a modern white for a galactic sec003. because they think about you, myako invited his friend irakli in order to warm up the heart of the record and vincent asked larry byndon from sonotown for a superb closing. planck time ep, a key work, will be, from now on, played on a loop by those who will appreciate.

after an astounding year for apollonia storming all corners of the earth, the three welcomed further success with a momentous fiesta at bpm to commence 2014. working the label in tandem, the list of pioneers featured thus far – point g, callisto and kerri chandler – is mighty impressive. jovonn is a name that sits naturally alongside them, the difference being that the forthcoming ep on apollonia is not a repress but juicy new productions. a highly respected international dj and producer hailing from brooklyn, jovonn made his mark within the underground house scene with classics such as >i cant make up my mind<, >garage shelter<, and the standout collaboration with dj deep >back in the dark<. an intrinsic inspiration to the apollonia trio, a personal relationship first formed at wmc miami last year. enjoying a production comeback following music on dogmatik and la vie en rose in 2013, talk of working with apollonia has fruitfully resulted in - the ep - . proving he can still produce a house bomb with ease, trippin is a jovonn future classic dripping in sexy hushed vocals, with a dub alternative that sticks to the tracks fundamentals. the march journeys forward into the deepness of dreamy synths, while the contagious beats lure you into a swinging metronome effect. in the words of jovonn, >its spiritual<.catch jovonn playing alongside apollonia at treehouse on 24th march, as part of this years wmc miami festivities

doc scott was on the decks. it was at tribal gathering (i think), 1996, standing in front of a wall of speakers to one side of the stage, enjoying myself, like you do, when this sound started growing inside my brain. my head was then ripped clean off my shoulders! words are still hard to find! it was the first time i ever heard shadow boxing and its the only thing i still remember from that night. om units 2014 remix is paired with the 1996 original.

the new year starts with the welcome news that the cosmologist returns with episode three of the cosmology series. trip 1 started life as a tribute to 70s radical firebrands the last poets and their 1977 clarion call to arms, *its a trip*. a loose and ever changing collective, the initial line up was formed on may 19.1968 to mark malcolm xs birthday, having all met at east wind, a harlem based writers work shop. they took their name from a revolutionary south african poet keorapetse kgositisile who rightly prophesized that the talking would soon give way to the persuasiveness of the gun. continuing that thought, civil rights for african americans was very much the beat of the last poets, a cause they would champion and indeed, were not afraid to back up their mighty words with direct action.

a new line (related) is the latest venture from lancashire-based andrew johnson (hood/remote viewer/moteer). utilising tools from the early days of home produced underground dance music (such as sk5 sampler keyboards and vintage drum machines) andrew has unearthed a beautiful album of downbeat, lamp-lit techno, industrial grade ambience and sonic experimentation which at times recalls early warp records, gescom and raw, 313 area beatdown house, as well as the more modern breed of electronic and techno travellers such as actress, mark fell (late period) and even theo parrish (the slow sound of your life).
the double vinyl lp includes a downloadcode for the full album.

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts.

cyber dance records return with a full-length double-vinyl album from manchesters kid machine (aka mark wilkinson) following a string of instantly sold-out eps for viewlexx, red laser and flight recorder. a long-time collaborator of world-famous italo disco dj flemming dalum, it is no surprise that many of the tracks have that hallmark space sound reminiscent of the likes of cyber people and koto, but mark stamps his own distinct identity on the genre by slowing down the bpms and incorporating many other influences throughout so that this is no retro affair but a distinctly fresh and modern take on the genre.
