owner operator of finale sessions music michael zucker has brought you a sister label called future sessions music to showcase his own music with close friends and family and we are excited to able to share this label with you. starting with our first release with the detroit veteren norm talley and finale sessions veteren michael zucker and we will start with norm talleys music first with the track called * power* it has the sublime detroit deep sound with its sharp chords and that pumping deep kick and claps and it also has additional work from another detroit legend delano smith but what makes this track is the fantastic vocals from the soul. track two * lock jaw* is just raw beatdown late night track with deep chicago classic sound with a pumping kicks and mind altering synth. then next we have michael zuckers first track * parisian nights* with it classic filtered classic chicago sound with proper pads and chords with a vocal drifting in and out of the spectrum . track two * thought process* is just an amazing deep inspired melodic trip with key’s and that classic b4 organ that sets the tone for the pads and that lifted filtered sound . we are excited to be able to work together norm talley and myself and we hope you enjoy this journey also.

often overlooked in american techno history are the weird and wonderful flavours to have emanated from the mid-west over the years. no two finer exponents have there been than minnesotas paul birken and freddy fresh. their contributions date back to the early nineties when freddy was exploring the possibilities of extreme techno (via labels like labworks, experimental and his own analog) - an activity that paul took up a while later after debuting on woody mcbrides renegade communique label in 1996. teaming up for the first of two collaborations on this 12 inch, paul and freddy open with >the fate of thirty eight< - a belting slab of analogue techno, where machines shriek and squawk like possessed animals on the loose.

extremely welcome reissue for one of the absolute holy grails of the rare groove scene. ultra-rare and super-expensive in its original 1980 release, this incredibly sexy tune from chicago band starvue fully deserves its status as a true soul anthem. produced by the chi-lites clarence johnson, >body fusion< never lets up the dancefloor pressure from beginning to end - the wonderful fusion of achingly beautiful strings, loping bass, flutes, the coolest fingersnaps and of course the mesmerising vocals of tony hicks combine to create an intensely emotional and rolling momentum that builds and builds. a masterpiece of soul history that still sounds as fresh as ever - essential!

during a time when its more fashionable then ever to sample kenny dixon, >alright< uses a small and respectable vocal splice that references ferguson himself, marvin belton, & ferrispark records. heavy bass and beats eventually mutate into a smooth late-night house jam. side b laced with chatter, cheers, and claps resonates a >block party< feeling accompanied by chords, strings, sub-bass, and disco loops. enjoy! party people

ltd 2011 repress !!one part of the famous three chairs crew marcellus pittman provides an excellent start for this new imprint with two slices of driving deep detroit house pure bliss!

ferrispark records has always been known for its devotion to unique and soulful releases heavily influenced by the deep sounds of detroit and chicago. carrying on in the same manner is scott fergusons, disco and deep house infused, >midwest born & bred ep<. the first mix of >keep on lovin me< mixes dirty detroit rawness with chi-town acid to get dance-floors stirring while the second mix is more reminiscent of mid-90s nyc and chicago house. in the late hours of the night, flip the record over for the seriously grooving, slow, deep, and druggy, >staggerin & stumblin<.

philadelphia band the goalie’s anxiety at the penalty kick present their second album.

sheik ‘n’ beik are a nyc based cohort specialising in promotion, production and outletting left­of­centre slices of electronic music. with previous releases from family members derek marin, voiski and peter corvaia their 4th release comes courtesy of danny wolfers (a.k.a legowelt) working alongside rush hour regular xosar under their xamiga alias. with this being xamiga’s 3rd release, the pair draw for their trusted arsenal of analogue gear and offer up the ‘bohemian grove’ ep, a woozy brew of foggy textures, gently frazzled hats and detroit­indebted grooves. the title track kicks things off with glassy pads sat atop a long­tailed thud and a sandy shuffle. a distant bass groove wades in ahead of a passage of intricate, band­passed percussion and a circling synth line before ‘cumulus versie’ sets sheets of ethereal vocals and synth strings gently ducking under a taught analogue pulse. ‘midwest’ then sets hissing kicks and frayed hi­hats alongside a rasping bass tone. pitch­bent synth lines then bubble into focus before ‘blizzard’ sets a dystopian tone from the off. a stout kick drum thunders under minor­key chord shifts and a menacing sequence that works to round off another fine addition to the sheik ‘n’ beik series.

2001 jazz-fusion album by ian o brian (memory tree, the beauty room).

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his superb debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year. the twelve pieces of minimal detroit sounds you are about to hear, were sent to us as one package. we were blown away and there was nothing else to do but surrender to its quality and sign them all. now join us…
