including remixes by dan andrei & michael melchner!

if you re going to launch a label, it s always wise to start with a bang. that s exactly what newcomers audio visual have done here, recruiting detroit veteran terrence dixon and chez damier cohort michael zucker (boss of finale recordings, no less) for a four-track trip into deep techno and intergalactic house. dixon goes deep into the groove on the hissing, intoxicating deep techno roller -mta-, before delivering a touch more melody on the retro-futurist gem -over the top-. zucker, on the other hand, opts for a jaydee-does-deep house feel to -foundation (part 1)-, before setting off towards the heavens with the deliciously deep, smooth reflections

kiwanuka, a 25 year-old uk native of ugandan heritage, was raised in north london where he split his time between session work and local gigs. along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to communion records, then polydor, and has since performed throughout europe and north america too touring in direct support of adele. he made his way through nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. the a-side *you ve got nothing to lose* is an original composition, featuring the buzzards dominic davis on upright bass and cory younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer lillie mae rische on fiddle. their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous blue series. the single also features a chilling rendition of townes van zandts infamous *waitin round to die* on the b-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the a-side.

first to go is evolent with their smasher *the legacy*. a slick, yet powerful journey through the depths of sound and rhythm. known for their 100% hardware based live performances, evolent proofed once again their love for depth and details in this massive tune. *we just keep on searching for the perfect balance between a somehow minimalistic approach and detailed storytelling* state the two guys from evolent. and thats exactly what they did. this wonderful piece of music will be available on a limited number of 12 inch vinyl, including a massive remix from michal ho (get physical, nice try) and a twisted afterhour remix from monkey maffia (freudeamtanzen).

paragram is now on to its fourth installment, and gladly welcomes a new member to its family, michael melchner. after several releases on respected labels such as love letters from oslo, moon harbour, cargo edition and eklo, the talented berlin producer now announces his 12inch debut on paragram. the ep, composed by three tracks, each one complementing the others, is a combination of futuristic beats, deep hypnotic basslines and slick glitchy percussions moving in and out of the arrangement.

discrete formants ii zooms the audience deep into underwater landscapes, from bizarre and seemingly endless open space down to the finest organized microcosms. five tracks full of analogue warmth and idiosyncratic modular synthesizer interaction that are driven by semantic coupling between major phases and small details. as most dscrt acoustic patterns are growing characteristic complexity by situational combination and permutation of interacting sound sets, the 300 copies of this release are double-stamped, hand numbered and pressed in blue marbled vinyl, returning each piece of them to the product of a unique moment in space and time.

michael & mattis are based between new york and oslo. maybe thats why their music has such a unique feel. blending the oddness of norwegian labels as sex tags mania and the ongoing musical heritage of nyc in hip-hop, disco and house, they produce twisted house jams that manage to remain raw and catchy at the same time. bold grooves and smooth vibes produ- ced with tape warmth and a singular pop appeal.

ambivalent & michael l penman debut on ovum with *shimmer*. having found a very fruitful collaborative friendship, michael l penman and ambivalent (aka kevin mchugh) have begun exploring the intersection of their approaches to music-making. they originally connected when kevin discovered michaels music in 2010. after playing many of his productions in his dj sets and including them in a mix-cd (_ground) release for minus, kevin made contact and the pair began exchanging files and swapping ideas. this led to time in the studio together and yet more file exchanges. quickly a natural creative balance emerged as they found that their production techniques were complementary as is their shared love of groove, bass and musicality. for their ovum debut the duo have delivered a trio of tracks that have those three elements at their core. title track shimmer brings together raw jackin funk with a warm driving bassline and scything techy stabs whilst chevalier matches its fun bouncy groove with an infectious and spritely melody. final track memogram comes heavy with the oldskool, delivering a bed of beats and samples beneath the very heaviest of acid-kicks. not for the feint of heart!

with the track *time machine*, dj and producer michael nielebock provided us with a fantastic debut on our deep circus label. his first success came for the berlin resident with the track pure visionson the treibstoff label, which entered the charts and the record cases of many international djs. his productions all are characterized by a driving groove, mixed with spherical elements, strings and synth-sounds. with *time machine* he also managed to bring this mixture to perfection in cooperation with his studio buddy leevey, thus creating a track which will make the day and caress the ears of many outdoor dancers this summer.
the second track on the ep is a wonderful remix by burak sar aka sis, who recently released his second album *confidance* on his label cocolino. the sis remix stays close to the original track, but reduces the spherical sounds and puts a greater focus on the basses, resulting in a great piece with a lot of deepness. nice!

for the fifth release on roots for bloom, michael james delivers 3 bumping cuts of very much dance floor orientated music. the opener infinite state gets you moving straight from the off with some edgy stabs and serious groove. high roller carries on where the a1 lets off upping the tempo but maintaining the direction. the b side freeze is a more techno influenced track, but still hold that underlying groove.

lower east, the brainchild of cozzy d & lee brinx, returns with michael jansons brand new single *addiction*. following his debut release *i know you re feeling ok*, jansons returns with this slick new offering, stamping his authority as one to watch for 2013. title track *addiction* kicks off the proceedings and is deceptively ambient, before jansons drops in a pulsing bassline that rolls out under mizbees eerie yet classy original vocal.

australian michael ozone, currently operating out of melbourne, is an artist embodying the purest form of absurdist energy. this debut offering, is but of a fraction of the entertainment we can expect as his career zig-zags forward. perfect systems is a tuff native track based on the idea of man-made tools, technology and borrowed languages. imagine failed cities overtaken by jungle life as youre swallowed by this utopian island groove. a not-so distant relative on side-b,hetrotopia leads us on a nomadic journey, exploring vast new landscapes and uncharted territories. references to new beat and horror soundtracks are apparent, but no matter what fantasies we infer from ozones music, his talent for crafting such fiction is a welcome addition to the esp institute.
