many reggae artists are lucky to make one breakthrough to the music mainstream. horace andy has managed not only to make a mark with *skylarking*, but also to deliver the definitive reggae version of soul singer-songwriter bill withers evergreen *aint no sunshine*. one of reggaes most distinctive singers, andy has managed to sound as credible delivering social commentary as he does love songs. as one critic put it, *the fragile, vulnerable qualities of his voice could invariably be relied upon to add dignity and sincerity to songs*, the proof is everywhere on this compilation.

the cellar boyz *pay me* is taken from ben cenacs timeless cozmic house ep on thug records. pay me which was recorded in 1986 is the only track from the cozmic house e.p that had available parts. the stems for deeper & deeper, seems to me & who loves you were never recorded. this was due to the fact that all of bens projects through out the 90s were tracked midi only at mix down, with only the vocals being recorded to tape! thug would never have had the opportunity to release ben cenacs cozmic house 12 inch if it had not been for simoncino. simoncino did all the a&r for the record. a gift not only for thug but any fans of ben cenacs amazing productions. with that in mind, simoncino has provided 2 remixed versions of pay me, alongside a remix from close friend nicholas!

an artefact from a perfect studio long abandoned, bok bok drops this alternative deleted mix of his new single *melbas call*. this version will be available on limited 10&#8243,,, vinyl only, as part of the night slugs white label series. both the original mix (released digitally march 31st) and this version feature kelela, the powerful vocalist behind the smash cut 4 me mixtape, released last year on fade to mind. boks instrumental melted in the trash, mangled tape dragging his cyborg funk to an excruciating, ruined memphis-like quarter-time. meanwhile kelela remains as immediate as ever, evoking r&b greats from a cannon she is clearly set to join. to be played loud and preferably in the dark.

without a doubt, manfredi romano (aka dj tennis) is a busy man. co-founder and partner of life and death, a dj with a full schedule and someone who still always has his fingers (and mind) in multiple projects and multiple places at the same time. how he juggles it (or when he sleeps) are questions best not pondered. one thing those who know him well have surely noticed is that he does it all while constantly on the move. unfazed by the constant whirl of cities that pass him by, he somehow manages to remain focused throughout. no matter where he goes, he somehow always manages to remain local.

with bunte kiste the german label jeahmon! records starts a new series. this colored box introduces new artists as well as some old buddys. we say welcome to adam stacks and luminer - two very talented new acts (keep their names in mind)!

an leidenschaft und ideen mangelte es ihm ohnehin noch nie, denn schon immer war douglas greed ein getriebener, der es nicht lang auf nur einem fleck der musikalischen landkarte aushielt. mit seiner speziellen sozialisation zwischen hiphop jams, drum n bass-partys, den dunklen weggabelungen des pop a la joy division, depeche mode oder radiohead hat er als produzent und live-act in den vergangenen jahren immer auch ein stueck weit außerhalb des klassischen techno- und house rahmens gedacht. die ergebnisse dieser stets auch die stunden abseits des floors mit einbeziehenden denkprozesse zeigten sich bislang etwa auf seinem debütalbum krl (freude am tanzen)sowie singles für labels wie infine, acker oder gigolo

this record tells the story of a detroit groove from the perspective of the speaker, taking you through time from luomo s to the hardware syst3m parties, and the first leaky warehouse roof no way back where dean syst3m worked the door, with all the disrespectful nature one would naturally expect from a true detroit groove. created by two veterans of detroit grooves, bmg & derek plaslaiko, who now calls berlin home, in bmgs studio in the center of detroit. this song celebrates some of the out there characters and crazy cowboy outlaws that made this detroit scene happen on the underground level, that made such an impact that is still felt around the world today.

one of these things is not like the others. put veteran producer and general madman eddie ruscha (aka secret circuit, laughing light of plenty, dadamunchamunky) in a studio with the spritely whipper-snapper diego herrera (aka suzanne kraft & 1/3 pharaohs) and your results will be nothing less than an epic jam. as the name blasé suggests, their laxadasical style and confident panache is abundant. the duo ease into their productions with a cool hand and an open mind, letting the moment take them somewhere foreign to bask in surreal surroundings, but not without documenting the trip.

excellent 80s inspired funky / disco / house nuggets

you can tell label owner max m loves producers that arent afraid to experiment with the most hypnotic and mind bending properties of techno and electronic music in general. with seven release under its belt, its now obvious that grey series was conceived around a very clear idea: organic sounds, complete lack of stylistic restrictions and an overarching love for introspective and crepuscular atmospheres. the eighth 12inch in the series is signed by spanish producer tadeo, who follows a long list of releases on his very own cyclical tracks and another intelligence imprints with four caliginous cuts that belong to the brainiest and state inducing sets

when you dream where does the light come from? there is a light that has clarity as great or greater than the daylight vision, and a lucidity of color that s beyond how we see color now ... i m interested in the point where this meets the imaginative vision that comes from seeing what we want to think of physical reality as outside, because it has a lot to do all which how we create reality. - james turell
within the walls, lighting(s), james turrell built spaces of solid material. the aim is not to also penetrate the foundations, passing through space, leading us to consider the immaterial, the mind. divergent ways first four compositions much like the four first light compositions, have sought to externalise the imaginative vision making it apparent.

andy meecham is a man of many musical incarnations and has been since the early 90s. following on from projects like the now dormant bizarre inc and revived dub-disco duo chicken lips, it is as the emperor machine that he explores his most experimental sounds. to date there have been three full length albums on dc recordings after the project was initially started with the idea of creating music using just one synth, the roland sh-3a. the results lay out the staffordshire mans love of vintage synthesisers for all to see, and combine tough edged disco beats with more cerebral cosmic melodies into alluring soundscapes that bend your mind and drive your feet. as well as a slew of 12s and lps, the emperor machine has also turned his hand to remixes of giants like moby, daft punk and royksopp, and has previously taken a live and inspiringly psychedelic incarnation of the project to clubs and festivals across the planet.
