(new 2017 masters) after the widespread success of the first minimal vision compilation on the resurgent vibraphone recordings, the true underground sound of rome return with a second volume that takes in tracks made over a 23 year period. what comes across is how consistent the sound is, whenever an individual jam was made. the same heavy-lidded melodics and easy-funking rhythm sections prevail across all nine cuts here, at times hitting the uplifting pace of vertigo or heading into the meditative pastures of sea bird, but always maintaining that quintessential vibraphone feeling. the diggers will be happy to snag the reissued tracks as well as discovering completely fresh material from rome s premier deep house institution.

peripheral minimal is proud to announce the imminent release of, beta evers / spatial relation , a six-track 12- e.p., that also features, heinrich mueller of dopplereffekt. the six tracks contain the coldest of minimal synth and technoid darkness, underpinned by a melancholic sentiment. this is the third release by spatial relation on peripheral minimal, and the first by beta evers.

minimal signals” is the most succesful and valued v.a. serie of the label to date and is here again but this time released on dark men records to make it more affordable. this chapter is another radiography of the most relevant and surprising actual minimal projects out there, including tracks by i tpame i tvrame, wicked crafts, adam tristar, we are not brothers and ferdinand cärclash. all tracks has been remastered by eric van wonterghem at prodam studio (berlin).

with the big smoke hitting near 40°c heat and the office stock melting away, lobster theremin go in for a scorched-earth techno summer with another drum-roasted, rave-heavy ep this time from hard-hitting vancouver duo minimal violence aka lida p and ashlee luk.
having built a reputation for drum-heavy, blown-out & acidic hardware live sets - and with insanely strong eps for 1080p, jungle gym and first second label already in the bag - their entry point to the lobster label family is a bumper one with five tracks that span doom-laden acid, staggered uk rave and emotive club jungle. this record in particular captures their intense and irrepressible live energy, whilst riffing heavily on more classic club tropes than their previous output.

peripheral minimal is proud to present the new 12inch by the french electronic pioneer, philippe laurent, entitled, phoenix. this will be philippes second release on peripheral minimal after the infectious synthetic classic 12inch, mithra. phoenix is a three track ep featuring two brand new tracks on the a-side, phoenix (featuring philippe s trademark robotic vocals), and, agapao. meanwhile over on the b-side, we have the 13-minute electronic opus and highly representative of his early work, exposition 4, a never before released track from philippes extensive archive, and recorded in 1982. the e.p. is representative of philippe s latest forays into contemporary synth music, but still with a retro futurist edge and influenced partly by german pioneers kraftwerk/late 70s kosmische and au courant electro/synthwave acts, fitting into the current enthusiasm for early 80s synth pop and minimal wave. the ep is presented on white vinyl and limited to 300 copies. mastering by martin bowes @ the cage.

from the outskirts of milan, minimal afrika, come riding into un.t.o. territory with a bulky and exotically charged ep. featuring heavy basslines, synth leads and a reckless use of rihanna-like vocal samples. this one s for the dark, incense-filled dancefloors only.

jungle gym records presents “rapids: the 2015 sessions”, the official label debut of vancouver’s minimal violence. following a string of hard-hitting vinyl releases for first second label and 1080p, minimal violence expand their fiercely independent strain of live and improvised techno into more romantic territory. as we experience the power of the rapids for ourselves, the confidence we once felt in youth and beauty fades, hopeless in the face of nature. an event both tragic and glamorous, jg04 narrates the existential coming of age, a beautiful realisation that nothing lasts forever.

“mornin” is a radical discoid track built with alien hoover pads and synthetic stabs that is both fresh and euphoric. “clean sunrise” has deep feelings for south african shores and gentle rhodes harmonies. “mannam” is a triumphant little number whilst “capasa” is a 6 min long improvised recording locked down in one take.

despite only a few releases, the electronic deep house sound of vibraphone records and the production team behind it had a major impact on the international 1990 s dance scene. the original 90 s vinyls are now considered precious collectors items. revitalized by an increasingly new young audience interest this label has reached a cult status and it is now been re-launched

lessismore (formerly lessismorecordings) was launched 10 years ago, and has been on hold for a few years. at the time the transition from vinyl to digital didn’t feel right and now that the vinyl market is coming up again the love and faith to release a beautiful product (vinyl with cool artwork) is back. this 10 year anniversary is a good reason to revive from hibernation state and to start sharing great music again. the first few releases from the relaunch will represent re-releases of the strongest ep’s from the back catalogue with remixes by respected artists.

impulsive and intuitive hardware house & techno from vancouver duo minimal violence aka ashlee luk & lida p. the five tracks on night gym soundtrack urban landscapes, textured synths, heavy kicks, and dense polyrhythms come together to form the duo s own brand of outsider house. citing influence from both minimal synth and chicago house, night gym arrives hot off the heels of the duo s self titled ep on dublin based first second label which closely examined the intersections that lay between punk and techno. recorded in february/march 2016 in the duo s home studio, the instinctual nature of live work flow plays an important role in the duo s creative process. utilizing hardware (sh-101, tr-606/505/707, waldorf blofeld, juno-60, dx-21, mpc1000) in addition to sourced samples with final compositions compiled and manipulated in ableton, night gym is an example of the duo s diverse interests and collaborative nature. the duo recruited visual support from chicago based graphic designer kevin mccaughey of nonporous for the distinct imagery of night gym. as well he designed the poster that comes in the 12- and screen printed a limited run of long sleeve t-shirts available through boot boys biz.

given the underground acclaim heaped on marie davidson s previous albums - ultra-stylish affairs that blend elements of minimal wave, dark italo-disco, off-kilter electro and moody ambient - it s little surprise to see her popping up on minimal wave offshoot cititrax. the album s nine tracks are largely sharp, rough and fuzzy, with sparse-but-dense drum machines rhythms underpinning bouncy, delay-laden synth lines, thrusting electronics and davidson s sleazy, spoken word vocals. it s an attractive combination that guarantees thrills throughout, from the almost claustrophobic throb of -denial-, to the mutant electrofunk bounce of -good vibes-.

if you love contemporary minimal music, then you are certainly familiar with the greek artist stathis leontiadis. with his bands human puppets, exetix and plexiglas this musician became one of the stars of the genre. now he is back with doric. with this solo project he already released a single and an album on fabrika and a 10- on domestica. the new release is once again a 10-, this time on peripheral minimal. doric uses a special concept. the a-side is the so-called asleep side and is about loneliness: music that sounds paranoid. sleep of reason is almost unbearable, it s madness driven by minimal electronics. everything is very danceable, but this is the dance of madness. the minimal sound comes straight from the 80s. over my dreamssounds a bit like the early parade ground. simply great! head against the wall (a title that needs little explanation) is slow and compelling.

nice price deal !!! incl ultraphat john tejada remix !! pure underground peaktime techno

following a year hiatus, hottrax returns to make serious impact with eno minimal from u.s. native dms12. veteran techno producer the model is also onboard to remix delivering a high energy cut of futuristic electronica. label boss jamie jones rediscovered the original track explaining i had it in a playlist in 2015 for ages and finally dropped it in my all night long session with seth troxler at the warehouse project. the place went crazy and seth asked me what the f..k is this? ive since played it on some huge stages and its insane, no matter where i am it grabs people and slaps them into space. dms12 is a dj and producer from new york. the model is a dj and producer from romania, founder and owner of the label adult central

in 1997 the vienna, austria based live act syncmode was founded and formed by bernd rausch & sascha sadat guscheh. their first 2 eps were self released between 2001–2003 and continue to play an important role in their reclusive production ethic. they continue collaborations with a close knit operation between 24seven and breakin stevens, which has directly triggered them to surpass the common duo and develop into a collective of changing members, which include the latest fixed members christof winkler and sonny blake. this ep is stripped down to a mix of live synthesis and heady synth-sync and machine drum trickery as it touches on past and future electronic music production techniques and solidifies these four tracks on a solid 12&#8243, vinyl. very rare and limited! due-out-in-summer-2015!

the rebirth of cool m=minimal is pleased to release a masterpiece of the early 21st century on vinyl. till the old worlds blown up and a new one is created is an outstanding work of reductionism and minimalism. martin brandlmyar ( radian / trapist / kapitalband 1 ), werner dafeldecker ( polwechsel, david sylvian, autistic daughters) and christian fennesz ( touch / mego / thrill jockey ) on this record created a new kind of cool jazz coupled with a big portion of new york school ( cage, feldman, brown und wolff). its hard to describe the music with words. this work reveals his secrets only after listening to it a couple of times. it grows with each time you listen to it. in this work, silence and noise are never used as an end in itself. as equal parameters they stand in the composition that also has space for some tonal >flower<. our recommended listening time is – round about midnight.
