2012 witnessed the birth of a shadowy transatlantic musical conspiracy known as bohemian groove. taking their inspiration from the infamous bohemian club, a conclave of powerful men who met annually at the bohemian grove campground in california to plan world-changing developments including the manhattan project, this musical axis of evil spans toronto and helsinki, with their base of operations in berlin.

slag is a live techno band consisting of equal parts musicians and djs. the four experienced men draw on their experience from record shops dance floors and film-/ theater-music and have the common passion for techno in their neural pathways. with the passion for electronic music and classic synthesizers, they created a sound black as oil and white as freshly fallen snow. the band varies their performance with a large portion jam elements and makes their live shows tension filled in both club and concert performances. a concert by fire slag starts in the deepest dub and ends in a furious techno ballad.

40th anniversary edition in gatefold sleeve, includes new introduction by elektra records founder jac holzman and new liner notes by original producer / compiler lenny kaye. mastered from the original analog album master and pressed on heavyweight 180 gram double 12 inch vinyl.

john heckle (undisputed king of da real scouse house and fast becoming one of the most prolific young techno producers from the uk) deviates ever so slighty from his trademark sound to paddle his little raft down the mersey and run wild with the wolves. the result is epic and mystic (and 100% organic) and opens a doorway into a mythical world of wicker men, hill figures, druids, witch covens and early 90s sunrises off the m25, when ever-e-thing seemed possible. excellent new artwork as well by godspill, who is also into naked chicks that float and stuff. a deadly combination!

ts7, fresh from reworking singles for afrojack and tulisa, presents >grade a<, a colourful basssline number. in what will be his first vinyl outing since 2008, ts7 utilises his 4x4 roots, working a clever looping bass to perfection with some neat vocal sampling to give it bags of dancefloor swagger. complimented by a heavyweight remix package, >grade a< certainly packs a punch. remixes come from hyperdubs walton and mista mens mella dee. walton delivers an incredible grimy rework, culminating in a series of earshattering breakdowns and some fantastic synth work that draws comparisons with some of wileys early productions. mella dee, meanwhile, moves away from his 8-bar sound as heard in coyotes debut release >ctrl<, and looks to house for inspiration with >grade a< receiving a thorough rework in that vibe. full of the sounds more familiar with his mista men productions but packing more of a grimy punch, mellas remix is a surefire dancefloor favourite.

total control dislocate expectations with this inaugural home loan records 12 inch. not the charged up paranoid vox/guitar/drums combo that we have become accustomed to through their visceral live shows - instead men with machines producing pensive proto-tech experiments and tense industrial wave. includes the original version of carpet rash which was re-recorded in full band mode for henge beat, and two previously unreleased immersive rhythm tracks formed through collaboration between guitarist mikey young and drummer james vinciguerra. vinciguerra would fire deranged beats down the hole while young would jam over them, watching waves in a trance from his perch at phillip island. on the flip we find two reconstructions from home loan manager michael ozone. carpet rash receives the club re-contextualisation with ozone fully utilising its penetrating synth hook, while new age hop climbs the arabic scale.

by 1982 new wave angry-man joe jackson had already broadened his attentions to a more diverse sound. >night and day< is a tribute to the tin pan alley style songwriting of cole porter and george gershwin, both early heroes of the english singer.
with more emphasis on keys & percussion than his earlier work, >night and day< became a hybrid of latin rhythms and jazzy horns & pianos, with stylish synths & splashy pop that perfectly reflects the new york of the early 80s. riding on the single >steppin out<, for which he was nominated for a grammy, the album crept to the number 4 position on the american and number 3 in the british charts, and eventually went gold. this is the first vinyl edition since 1985!
pressing on 180 grams audiophile vinyl, comes in gatefold sleeve.

we are proud to welcome simple & thigpen (aka helix) from detroit & a small town in southeast georgia on ilian tape for their first collaboration eva. as peanut butter is a national dish in the usa since ages, every real american knows how to lick and swallow it the perfect way. so here we go with a 134 bpm swangler that funks from your backyard trying to get your arm hard while you are playing a bit of dart! freak seven from manchester is transforming the original from ying to yang through adding his personal slang while designing men strings with jewelry for alexander wang. and last but not least the zenker brothers adding their incomparable dust in which you all hopefully trust. hugs & slugs from the bavarian headquarters of love.

nice funky, moogy techtracks from larsson incl. great remixes from the men of the moment nicholas & anonym

in the last couple of months the names taiki & nulight should have come across your paths. these 2 artists have been gaining respect from the likes of skream, benga, n-type, mistajam (and many more) and are set to blow up any time now. and because subway likes their beats fresh and new they are kicking off with these boys their very first release entitled the coming up ep. coming up is a 100 procent to the floor slammer wich sees the dubstep sound merging into more clubby territories. the 4x4 beat and soca influences make this track a unique piece of work that not alot of people can resist. get on this and get those ladies shaking their rear ends because once they start a skanking the men will follow. pure takes it back to the dubstep vibe we all know and love. a hefty skanker that will deplete any raver from any energy it has left. tearout basslines and insane switches make this one track that will destroy any dance! impulse is one of t&ns early productions but is not a letter track for that matter.its a mean destructive stomper that shows why these guys have been picked so early on by the subway label. it pounds,it shakes, it rattles & it wobbles. a deadly combination!watch out for more t&n releases coming up really soon on subway and labels like benga beats, sin city to name a few! play support comes from: skream, benga, n-type, walsh, mistajam, antiserum, unitz, dream, laxx, megalodon & tonnes of others!

the dirty dutch! anticlub a notorious collective from eindhoven, the southern capital of holland, was inspired to push itself into a new direction. the inspiration came from a painting by an old lady that drew the attention and gave the impulse to create the album freaks and followers. as the title suggests there are two kinds of people, people who take risks and people who do not. as anticlub used to be a risk-taker but slowly settled in an unwanted comfort zone, this created dissatisfaction and led to a creative standstill. seeing the painting everything became clear again. one should not stand still but keep moving and evolve oneself into new areas that one has not yet explored creatively. as lessismore is from the same dutch city, this state of mind also hit the lessismore label, which inevitable resulted in both parties joining forces to release this diverse album by a former underground techno crew called anticlub. as the lessismore label is known for its typically styled techno, lessismore was searching for a new impulse sound wise and visually, to ensure creative satisfaction in the years to come. with this album everything came together and the lessismore crew reunited to renew their input into the label, which was once founded to be a creative platform and an artistic journey and in retrospective clearly not a platform where one should repeat itself time after time. freaks and followers is an 8 track album with raw electronic based music combined with a variety of vocal work by different new anticlub members. the overall feel of the album is a dark punky attitude that reminds of the good old days of rave, which in the early nineties dominated the dutch club and party scene. this period can be defined as being careless and not taking credibility into account, trying new things, being blunt and just partying your hart out. being older this is a feeling that will never have to die, proved by the old lady whose painting was used as the art-work of the album release.

after the excellent boris hottons >love is ep< it is time to present to you the second release of prague based label visky recordings! we would like to welcome warmly the two-men german project paskal & urban absolutes with their >our smile in your face ep< as a part of the new establishing visky family. a contribution to the ep has also been made by farsides henry l with his fabulous remix of the title track.

breaking-through in berlin is not an easy task and that is exactly what mike wall, the latest artist to join the hidden recordings family is doing with a remarkable release showcasing the versatility, artistry and pure soul that goes into making music for the big room. mikes talent first came to hidden recordings with his darker, jacking rendition of 014hr m.a.d.a. + planktons >antiz<. additionally, his inventive, high octane jams have found themselves on such high profile labels such as sleaze, on and on and pluseins. additional firepower enlisted for thre release comes two men who we deeply admire. the first is somebody who is making us re-think the boundaries of techno, the elusive and mysterious xhin from stroboscopic artefacts and clr. the second comes from splatter, with his evil and dark chugging glitched out trade-mark sound that will tear up danceflooors and leave you shaking in all the right ways. the combination of the originals and remixes will also be getting the deluxe vinyl treatment that followers of hidden recordings have come to expect – watch for it in february. we are proud and excited to share this one with you as we believe mike wall is a diamond in the rough. use these wisely to get your dance-floor moving and feedback is encouraged and welcome.

this is the first part (of four) of the much anticipated reissue series of drexciya s early catalogue, marking 20 years since the release of their first ep deep sea dweller , and 10 years since their final album grava 4 . one of the most influential techno acts ever, and part of the heritage of detroits underground resistance, drexciya explored techno like no-one else before: raw and uncompromising music that reflected the harsh environment of the city where drexciya was conceived, with a mythical approach that only added to their cult appeal. drexciya arguably stands for the darker side of techno and electro, made not only for the club scene, but a further development of the music as an expression and extension of the mind. journey of the deep sea dweller is a near-complete collection of their early works, released in four parts, with all audio remastered from the original master tapes. since the original releases have such a strong character and stand on their own, these reissue can never recreate the magic of those originals. instead, clone have stirred up the catalogue, taking tracks out of their original context, giving the committed fan a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of drexciya.

terpsiton are proud to welcome to the gang the new faces of the scene and old friends of the label called themselves the scene. this strongly and catchy headline is wisely chosen and named after the legendary detroit based tv-show that turned usual men into celebrities over night. it absurdly and hilariously demonstrates how to get a name and how to get fame just by being marked as a celebrity. so, these well talented guys that are totally into the deep and underground house stuff vault themselves into the scene by releasing this ass-kicking and groundbreaking record that is full of catchy and lovely hook lines, forcing kick drums, intense arrangements and a true passion for the house movement as it was back in the days. on two songs (feist movement & lab) the scene is supported by two other new gang members soon to be well known namely as niki and franz b. werner who add their feel and taste of sounds. a unique blend of individuals, great sounds and real emotions that will make history. never mind the celebrities - here comes the scene!

joe goddard is surely one of the busiest men in the world of electronic music: writer and producer behind the world-conquering hot chip, acclaimed solo artist, travelsome dj, prolific remixer, one half of the emerging 2 bears house duo and one of the founding members of the greco-roman record label and party collective. goddards first solo material in 18 months should open with a chorus of angels, before title track >gabriel< strides confidently into familiar territory of londons clubland and its rich musical influences, this time goddard choosing gospel and house as his parameters to create a bone fide underground radio and club hit which currently sits on the bbc radio 1 playlist.

after netsky, kg, break and nymfo smashed some belgian dance classics by original artists shameboy, buscemi, ultrasonic7 and magnus, a few more d&b hotshots step to the plate.
blame gets the opportunity to rework his favorite tune of all time, the ultimate rave track >anasthasia< by t99. meanwhile men of the moment fred v & grafix add some 21st century flavour to >camargue<, one of many charttopping hits by the legend that is cj bolland.
with support from netsky, london electricity, d-minds and fabio among others and a forthcoming upload by ukf, the future looks bright for these badboys.

the aliens return with another anthem. there has been a lot of speculation as to who these bad men are, with most guesses being people who have released on the ssds label or other south londoners. some of the main guesses have been kromestar, coki, cotti, f-1, n-type, and kosha, but i am not convinced anyone actually knows who is in it.

the a-side contains acid snow. a raw, leftfield acid house ode to new york in 2011, acid snow speaks to the young men with a future and tells them not to delay, the city is waiting. fuelled by classic 303 tweak and propulsive analog drums, acid snow plateaus in a guitar-heavy finale that conjures the spirit of the citys no wave sound – acid snow is no wave house, no house, acid rock, acid not acid, armando on no new york, sonic youth at the warehouse in chicago. out of love for the future, it lays down dynamite on the cornerstone of tradition.

the big idea! ahoy sarp yilmaz and sinan kaya. after several eps on various labels now release their debut on simple as that records. the two guys from the big metropolis of istanbul bring us here, two beads which make the sun rise. the two men schaeufler & zovsky (acker records, 3000°) and andre kronert (ostwind, night drive music) each control still in a wonderful remix. even more diversity on this record is thus ensured.

tripmastaz is a name that has been steadily pushing forward his career in the past year, with his latest works on be as one, moon harbour, cecille, and magnetic recordings (complete with a loco dice remix) been heavily supported by the djs gang out there now, andrew is debuting with a full ep on be as one, after his appearance on the latest tools for school vol.3 compilation. house syndrome opens the ep with a bang - truly an infectious tech house stormer for the big stages, which is already championed by the a-list djs constant learning is a proper tribal techno affair that combines a rolling groove with a catchy melody, an uplifting summery mood. on the b side tripmastaz takes things into deeper territories with quiet hit men, an acidic bassline worked around a machine groove as andrew knows to deliver. pende (dub) closes this ep with an underground attitude, a tune that will be noticed by those looking for a special moment on the floor

hot on the heels of that dope detroit double header here at thema, we were feeling that deep thing, and here we are back again but this time with a plate full of tracks. here we present three tracks from these two young men called suburb on one record along with that remix from our two friends at smallville.

this new ep from j. phlip fits that description nicely. deep and dirty with filthy ghetto sample drops. in the 1840s a certain neighborhood in san francisco was nicknamed, the barbary coast. it was described as -the haunt of the low and the vile of every kinda dance-halls and concert-saloons, where blear-eyed men and faded women drink vile liquor, smoke offensive tobacco, engage in vulgar conduct, sing obscene songs and say and do everything to heap upon themselves more degradation, are numerous.- lots of people think they know about sf basslines but only a few actually can pull it off. jessica is one of those people. she is one of my favorite djs on earth and her new ep shows why she fits in so well with at dirtybird. big basslines, quirky ideas, and a general sense of mischief make this ep stick out from all the matchy matchy tracks out there.

one of the strongest house producers of all time joshua iz show us that its not all about house, and brings his dubwise monkier and brings us some sunshine on wax. both of the original tracks ooze class and style. on the flip side one of the men of the moments simoncino funks up one mix then takes you to a beach with the other

somewhere between center parcs in nottingham and the white sandy perfection of formentera reside two men dedicated to the art of horizontal dancing. their mums call them ampo and timm (funny names, those notts lads), though we know them by their collective name of coyote. in their minds eye, it is still 1986 and there are leathery looking germans with alarming posing pouches dancing to simply red records on the shimmering terrace at ku club while down the road alfredo is building his legendary reputation at amnesia. apart from the clued-up few, most of the brits are billeted in san antonio where the beers are cheap and the sunburn is plentiful. coyotes music, despite being produced in the east midlands conjures up a world of sun, sea and 80s glamour, while still sounding very much like today.

in the south of panama lies the darien gap, a vast unpenatrable jungle swamp that divides central and south america. it is so hostile that even the pan american highway stops there in what would otherwise be a non-stop highway stretching from alaska to argentina. many explorers never returned and it is believed that the 10.000 square mile piece of green hell is home to secret guerilla bases, drug labs and many mysterious & dangerous animals.

damian lazarus finally imparts his own musical overtones for his mothership crosstown rebels with a special two-part ep >different now< on limited edition 500 only coloured, hand stamped vinyl, featuring remixes from men of the moment art department, enigmatic genius portable aka bodycode and up-and-coming hot new talent dead seal.

the ever on point citrus recordings is stepping up for its 5th artist lp. after having released the debut albums of mindscape & jade wich all went on for critical acclaim its time for citrus to get ready for its 3rd artist album. this time its time for the debut album of fourward!hailing straight from lower austria the four men collective fourward started out producing music in early 2007. the boys knew each other for quite a while and shared the love and passion for drumandbass music. for them it wasalways a main issue not to stick to any particular tiny subgenre only, but to develop a sound of their own. all members have different musical backgrounds which fit together perfectly and provide a great studio vibe. days went by and the boys finished a couple of tunes properly and it wasnt long until austrian drumandbass producer duo body&soul showed interest in their works.also international artists like bbcs very own crissy criss began to support their music giving them airplay on his radio show. as a result of their effort fourward has released quality tunes on labels like subsonik sound, planet funk and fokuz. the year 2010 they experienced the so called breakthrough with releases on nasca recordings and fokuz followed by an epic 12inch for the legendary label virus recordings! the guys definitely didnt stop there and being on the road now broadened their horizon even further. resulting in a series of tunes perfectly fitting together in this 4pack 12inch. diversity and musicallity are keywords for this album. listen from low blow to you and me, quality drum n bass!

with age comes maturity, or that is at least what one would normaly think. together the three men (jin choi, walker barnard & tolga fidan) associated with private golds second release, the >i m just the rain< ep, clock in at over 100 years… and yet this release is all thrusting crotches and wriggling teen lust man-booties. only kidding, the songs on this release are nothing if not mature. sure the aforementioned sex is there. in the cooing vocals, stompy bass and 60s psych of the contrapuntal guitar of the eponymous >i m just the rain< or in the jimmy edgar-like funk and grind of >revolution for the lovers<.

milan based heels of love is made up of luca saponaro (from krautrock-disco hybrids the love supreme) and michele tessadri (aka fratelli riviera). the pair of them create incredible 80s-tinged, earthy, synthesized music with healthy dose of real instruments. after some nifty releases on mad on the moon and under the shade labels we are pleased to welcome them to the nang family. with an lp poised to drop later in the year, the welcome first dose is the train >chain gang<.
the track features the dulcet (and ever growing in confidence) vocals of tokyo based max essa. the original is a pacey combination of maxs devoesque song, driving drums and the wide-as analog bass synth from the italian duo. are we men? we certainly are.

evil madness has been described as the traveling wilburys of icelandic electronic music. behind the name stand men like petur eyvindsson, johann johannsson, sigtryggur berg sigmarsson, helgi thorsson and bj nilsen (who is not quite icelandic but was born in a country very near iceland). this album, >super great love<, presented by editions mego will be their 4th album since the time their formation in 2006. now for those of you reading who know the music of evil madness will know for sure that this band does what ever they damn well pleases when it comes to making the music. with >super great love< they want to get people in the good mood for the fresh new year and present them with some upbeat icelandic disko tunes.

b.h.f.v is the collaborative effort of arto mwambes cb funk and the live at robert johnson label manager oliver hafenbauer. originating from a cross-pollination of graffiti, train stations, red light districts and frankfurts club music roots, et 01 and et 06 are both all that those x-men and egyptian lovers ever wanted. two tracks, one sound. blueeyed electro-funk with sharp snares, jeep-boomin bass and haunting melody lines. retro fascists beware! this aint a historically correct or nerdy carbon copy, but a blast from the futures past. fresh as champagne morning dew. hip hop be bop.

in den vergangenen jahren ist die elektroszene berlins zu einem undurch- sichtigen mix verschiedener artists und stile geworden. die stadt macht ihrem ruf als techno-mekka alle ehre, ein elektronischer klangteppich scheint sie zu u&#776,,,berziehen. in dem meer der zahlreichen beats und rhyth- men wirken namen wie tom clark und benno blome wie leuchttu&#776,,,rme: zwei urgesteine der elektronischen kla&#776,,,nge, die sich sowohl durch ihre labelgru&#776,,,ndungen als auch durch ihre sets und releases als musikalische impulsgeber bewiesen haben und von anfang an dabei waren.

2001 compilation from dj skips pushpac records.

holmby hills two smooth n ruff house tracks and two hip hop-jazz encores turn this record into a testimony for the state of mind of formresonance. when soul is melted together into an off the grid house track, it is not that far-fetched that both men have shared their music ever since tapes existed. engin oeztuerk, one half of here today, which came out on philpot and buzzin fly and block barley (who already has released two albums on hong kong records and we aint music) are both tinkering in search of music to dance to. they wickedly transform their musical masters ideas into something extraordinary sounding. an off-the-grid team

if god created men and if the ancestors of men are monkeys, then god was a monkey! this is asrs 3th release on simplex records. the original mix is one for the stronger bodies and minds, full of energy & power, balancing between dark crazy techno and solid minimal. the syncopated percussion is pivoting on the berghain based groovy sound. the melody is sparse and therefore a natural step in asrs evolution as a recording artist. the structure of this track embraces well placed developments and sonic changes. the sound of all tracks is coherent and vigorous hypnotic. asr hired minus artist jpls for a remix on the a-side. result is a typical jpls sound. abstract & subtracted. asrs friends, rising smallroom artist mike wall gives a dark dreamy mysterious point of view and japans tech & minimal talent shin matsura hits you straight in the face just like the original mix does. these two producers are the personnel on the b-side.
