key vinyl don their scouting caps once again for another split ep featuring fledgling and debuting talents. first up is the plant worker. this french dj and producer isn’t exactly new to the game, but as the plant worker he’s been slowly journeying down harder, rawer trajectories—as the name may suggest. with a trio of eps out already, “iota 001” and “iota 002” continues his exploration into purer techno forms with two cuts of deep, probing, loopy floor material. then on the flip, key vinyl unveil the first works from masked newcomer transient x4. “lost in perceptions” is a jangling sic fi trip to techno’s bleak and pitch-black periphery, whilst “ways to space” sends its cosmic theme off for a spell in the basement, coming out as a monstrous peak-time send off.

180gr vinyl, download code & poster ! from a festival to a feature to friendship, from techno to electronica to a band. in this manner towards twitter compatibility, one may describe eating snow s previous path, which has really just begun for douglas greed and mooryc, with only few characters. the two of them met in 2010 at a festival in poland, only shortly afterwards the joint tracks -pain- and -morning gloria- developed, which can be listened to on douglas greed s debut album krl. however, dougi and mooryc weren t just in tune with each other quickly, they also automatically arrived at a common sound despite their different musical roots, which ranges from sensual indietronica to powerful house right up to perfectly grooving pop moments.

van bonn returns to his label van bonn records after releases on labels like traum, trapez and telrae. van bonn s travel to the magic rain forests and lonely beaches of the island borneo inspired him to compose music that takes you by the hand and leads you into the inner beauty of borneo. his new ep delivers two epic tunes with a total playtime of 24 minutes. the original mix is dominated by massive grooves, carefully layered sounds & field recordings from borneo. van bonn takes his time to let the tension rise slowly to finally erupt in a momentum that may remind the listener of krautrock and post-rock. the borneo dub adds a whole new level of deepness to the original track and formulates an atmosphere that can simply be described as fernweh. wether you listen to borneo in a club, on your stereo or with headphones it is always pure and true techno music for your heart, body and soul.

lehar - flora & zephyr ep (feat. musumeci) approach with a strong recognition value, which may be the secret to his success. each element of -horizon remains in your mind after having listened to it. a guarantor for this summer, for sure. the closing title of this ep is -flora-, a timeless and alluring cut with a dub-techno approach. its subtle power comes from its deepness. it is simple but full of universal brilliancy. lehar - -flora & zephyr ep- (feat. musumeci).

releasing not very often, understand has always kept things in the dark about what is going to happen next. the wait is over and the fifth instalment of the series is named ebandogue and features 3 tracks from dubtil, one of today s best producers in the bucharest underground. ruling side a is opus ebant, an epic masterpiece, driven by a groovy bassline and subtle male choirs. this heavenly atmosphere goes from trippy to driving back and forth making it perfect for a peaktime moment that won’t be forgotten. may also be used in some worship places. debandada and epilogue share side b and besides the producer himself that is almost everything they share. debandada is kind of dark and experimental but full of energy in the same time with weird whispers and evolving hats keeping everything on the move. epilogue has a more positive approach, the general uplifing feeling is spiked ocasionally with a techno resonator and some background synths, and just like that, the random delayed male vocals make it so more interesting.

moudaber goes deep.... yes, our beloved mood leader returns home with her latest single and a track that may surprise some, as nicole gets her dub on.

it is no easy task to blend the cerebral with the soulful - the two tend to stand at opposing corners in the deep house world and producers are often forced to choose one or the other - to mix both is a lofty aim. maddermodes may not have set out with this merger in mind when launching the project - mental space - but the end result is striking in its effortless fusion. released under the artists own label, shift coordinate points, the ep consists of two tracks: mental space and human science. the titles, of course, lead one to assume there will be a strong degree of technicality and complexity behind the songs and indeed there is, what is surprising is the level of personality and moodiness that also exists.

first spotted on mister saturday night in 2014, nathan melja delivers here a thumpin techno 12- on black opal! limited to 300 copies.

this release captures kicks, rhythms, and snares—only to drag them kicking and screaming into a metallic underworld. in j. tijn’s echo-sphere, there are only allusions to the status quo of sound and beats, and never a full-fledged embrace of the conventional. on side a’s “kanon v.i.p.” a grizzly digital war is left to play out between both kick and snare, with grainy battle lines drawn around upbeat and downbeat. survivors of the conflict are rewarded with a groove reminiscent of grime, if only the genre had been reborn in a dystopian future. side b opens with a roughneck beat on “mor” before turning its hand into a fist and effectively destroying its own image. the groove lives through this barrage of sound, but as a heavy and dark undercurrent just strong enough to remind you where j.tijn’s roots are. “shy” lures you in with a rounded electro kick, before glutting the rhythm and ushering in a wall of sound. a snowstorm of screaming drum samples proceed to surround you: you may have been here before, but you are somewhere rhythmically unseen. embedded in all of these tracks are perhaps a sign of the times: the things that used to be seen as normal have now changed and mutated.

for the second time in our labels history, we have a various artist ep! new-comer and good friend from greece, echonomist, delivers a warm, raw, lengthy jam from his mpc. you may have heard, simon ferdinand, from germany with previous outings on labels like nightdrive & landed. to continue the path of this groovy series, we put another hot track from simon (smell the summer coming!) to start the b-side - it is an honest pleasure to have our friend, yakine, who adds a sublime track representing pure deep and timeless music. closing this opus, we are excited to have another fresh talent from germany, having released stuff with our beloved mosaic and autoreply - vinyl digger & producer... kashawar sends his eclectic taste in music in the form of a personal, emotional gem of a track that will heat the dance-floors each and every time! gaité !

for the past few years, young denmark vessey has been releasing a series of albums, both as a leader of carious groups and as a sideman in various others, which definitely mark him as one of the most exciting young players in music. vessey’s last album prior to this (2013’s cult classic) employed scud one for the rhythm section. vessey, in his own playing suggest that he may be forging a link between the new mainstream and prior innovations. it is to vessey’s credit that this album achieves a surprising degree of unity. there is little of the haphazard feeling that too often arrends blowing sessions by pick-up bands. it would be easier to mistake this for a group which works regularly. part of that is simply because vessey is a part of the new mainstream, the part that is seeking beyond the accepted common language to find ways of extending it. the rest is because of vessey’s unusual talent.

the dynamic amsterdam-based duo homework join the lets play house family this may with their four- track palindrome 1 ep out on the imprints white label.

jef ks silver network springs a surprise on the label s followers with a slightly darker offering than fans may be used to. part of jef s ethos is to shake things every once in a while to avoid becoming stale, so he decided to sign this super fresh cut from ludovic vendi and olive_r. nosh is a fidgety, morose production with unsettling beats and the constant mutter of voices lurking in the background.

ground-fault- interrupt (part 2) - (part 1 release date 25th may feat. developer, yan cook, dax j, antonio de angelis) weekend circuit, record label born out of london, england, is an artistic entity focussing primarily on releasing first-rate techno since it’s inception in 2013. starting from humble beginnings, the outfit have rapidly grown into one of the cities most important collectives. the inaugural release, helmed by dax j, helped set the blueprint for a well-honed, forward glancing sound that owes as much to london as it does to berlin.

lunatic with its second release. jennifer touch as the producer and singer presents three tracks in that beautiful mixture between cold new wave and dramatic synthpop that we all love. after several releases on ortloff, riotvan and female pressure she is now going to show full strength in her first solo-ep.
on the a-side, you just forces the listener on the dancefloor with its wild attitude, while the b-side shows the more calm and melancholic way of her musical spectrum with astra and boom. may you think you heard that style before - you dont. the jennifer touch ep is in the spirit of the time as it can be!

early may will see italian imprint amam offer up the modern sound of yesterday ep coming courtesy of germany based producer doubtingthomas.

hailing from berlin, but spiritually from chi-town, snuff crew are back in your area with some freshly served up basement goodies once again. following on from basement jams #1, from all the way back in 2011, the boys bring us tracks with the same playful nature as before but, dare i say it, they go even harder this time. stalwart fans of the first release can stop reading now because it will almost certainly be a blind-buy for you, four tracks obviously engineered for use in the club, whether its the massive kick in ‘what it is’ or the ravey acid lead in ‘88cents’. the jams on the b-side may do the most damage. ‘remember’ holds absolutely nothing back, with its arpeggiated bassline lead and crisper than crisp 909 drum programming. analog is a term that gets bandied about all the time nowadays, ever since so many young producers became enamoured with tape compression and hiss delay plug-ins. i know snuff crew are real analog guys though, in sound and mentality, so hearing basement jams #2 for the first time had me so excited once again.

invisible inc launches with this 4-track sampler 12”/ep from four artists that we plan to be releasing music by over the coming year – secret circuit, higamos hogamos, tim love lee and the poncho brothers. packed with modular synthesizer funk, psychedelic wonk, kraut-rock infused space opera and downtempo analogue “balearica”, the 12” is due to be in shops in early may. already getting praise from soft rocks (esp institute, endless flight), house of traps (firecracker, unthank, sacred summits), dj kaos (rong music, dfa, jolly jams, astrolab), josé manuel (eskimo, kinfolk, disques sinthomme), bobby beige (pork, garden zadar), chuggy (emotional response/especial) and gavin hardkiss (hardkiss, siesta, sunburn

muscle and mind is the return of oscar mulero to long plays, after grey fades to green and black propaganda. muscle and mind may seem antagonistic terms in real life, but in terms of music they make sense together, especially when talking about techno.
muscle and mind will be released on vinyl and cd. the digital version will include extra tracks which will also be published in an ep. this will precede the album with edited tracks from the album and remixes by stanislav tolkachev and shxcxchcxsh. repress on black vinyl.

rounding off the vinyl series that accompanies themas label-defining strength in numbers compilation, part 4 downsizes from 12 inch to 7 inch to present two distinctive jams that show some of the farthest reaches of the new york imprints sound. laurine frost may be best known as part of the nonconformist house and techno scene of europe through releases on perspectiv, sharingtones and nervmusic, but on this special creation for thema he makes the perfect tribute to the city that gave rise to the label, with a little help from the racy diatribe of amiri baraka on “your house”. by way of a truly special finale for the series, minneapolis maverick dj slip graces the label with an all-too rare appearance, taking an altogether more primal approach on “x7” that channels his years spent conjuring up next level techno for missile, music man and more into a taut and punchy electro excursion infected with tricked out effects and seductive sci-fi noir atmospherics. it’s the perfect example of the freaky fringes thema has comfortably reached to over the course of the last forty releases.

following on from 2013s original maslo series, vester koza returns with a new project, prisn. the titles of the tracks are in reference to/or adaptations of permissions/commands used by the apple and google android operating systems. the record was mastered by helmut erler at dubplates and mastering and comes with full colour printed lp cover featuring artwork by sarah hammond. prisn is released on may 4th via maslo.

2017 repress on black double vinyl, housed in a black sleeve.

tuskegee music was launched in may of 2014 by seth troxler and the martinez brothers. as a label of cultural heritage the intention is to package up 90s-minded 12inchs that reach into the heart of paradise garage and shed a light on a fertile period of influence in dance musics history. now - a year on from its inception - seth offers up just back a brooding 2-track ep that demonstrates perfectly his ability to control tension to rapturous effect and finally satisfies the vehement anticipation bubbling between his peers with whats set to be seths biggest and most important record to date.

kensuke fukushima is an up and coming talent from japan. growing up heavily influenced by rock and jazz, he learned to play multiple instruments like lead and bass guitar as well as piano. he s had a few previous releases on labels such as onovu & leap records and was featured on a recent v/a ep on roundabout sounds entitled, fly pattern ep. label boss joe babylon reached out to detoit house legend d wynn to remix the title track. for those that don t already know, d wynn was the resident dj at the histroic music institute as well as tour dj for inner city. he s also one half of r-tyme with derrick may.

apart from the rush and hype all around electronic music these days, charmly embraced by the mighty black forrest, is the center of the badnerland, good old freiburg in germany. at first it may be hard to believe that there is more than just sunshine and wine this far south, but you would be surprised by the ever growing request for electronic music in this region. so at this point it just feels right to finally come up with a strong label throughout this exciting movement, you have guessed it: solide.

norwegian producer thomas urv drops the småskansen ep on his own ploink imprint this april. one of norways leading techno prospects, thomas urv has promoted and played at countless events across the country featuring the likes of jeff mills, juan atkins, derrick may, carl cox, richie hawtin, robert hood and kevin saunderson. when not delivering his three deck performances across scandinavia, spain, france, holland, canada and the uk (for fabric and bestival) the norse producer is firmly focused on ploink and his studio activities. *fuktig sol* leads the ep and is a sinister cut led by a morose hook and syncopated rhythm whilst whirring atmospherics add to a looming tension. the dark undertones continue in *stell/less* although steady kicks construct a vibe better suited towards peak time dancefloor madness. tying up the release *sånn isbre* delivers a frenzy of layered sounds that evolve over the course of a lengthy 16 minutes.

six years on from his debut album on cadenza, mirko loko returns to the fold with a follow up album (- comet plan -) and a single (- kolor -).
2009s * seventynine* long player helped catapult mirkos profile, not only as a producer, but also as dj, regularly spinning alongside the cadenza crew, and with detroit luminaries such as derrick may and carl craig. and its on this single that mirko invites friend and peer, carl craig, to remix under his c2 guise. wearing his influences on his sleeve, mirko is obviously indebted to the techno music of the motor city, and these classic detroit tropes are certainly used in the building blocks of the original mix of “kolor-, a sprawling and pacey intergalactic journey sprinkled with a dusting of xylophones, bells & chimes, as the melody is driven forward for a heady trip across the night skies.

vinyl only release
starting in 1990 recording for sheffield label ozone records under the name of panic with a release called voices of energy, which was then licensed to buzz in belgium, buzz 001, buzz then went on to release classics by carl craig and derrick may. he set up his own label in the same year solid groove records. the label had 30 vinyl releases over thirteen years and tracks were licensed by derrick may, terry francis, pete tong, adam x, and carl cox.as well as this he ran another four other label s, textures, dark, dot, and cheap knob gags.

damn! did somebody upset carlo coz that boy has been throwing down some vicious balls-to-wall beats across his recent releases... and we love it! he got nasty with shaded s gender bender and kicked some serious ass on his latest for carl cox s intec. whilst carlo s latest outings may be fierce, our toronto brother has lost none of the trademark funk that permeates all of his work. the magic ingredient that keeps our hips on the move. carlo returns to mood with deebug, the rampant techno tick that burrows into your brain with its rapid, pincer-like drums and thumping kick. on the flip its fellow ear-bug, no turning back, flows with an almost laid-back and effortless groove. a perfect pair from mr. lio.
