proceeding missions of noise and jungle, demdike stare adopting house and techno tempos

nice price deal !!! robo needs oil is a polish producer and he drops this funky two tracker on glenview. undercover featuring novac is a mix of modern disco and 80s synth wave while a deux is a sexy laidback late night disco house groover.

an addendum of sorts to his recent faint hearted album, miles returns with a half-hour ep of new material

vampire weekend veröffentlichen mit modern vampires of the city den höhepunkt einer trilogie, die 2008 mit dem selbst betitelten debüt begann und die zwei jahre später mit dem hitalbum contra oben in den charts landete (nummer eins in den usa, platz 15 in deutschland). die tracks auf dem album erzählen von einer belebten city aus stimmen und visionen, vom tod henry hudsons bis zu dem orthodoxen mädchen, das sich in einem falafel-shop verliebt, von hannah hunt, die die new york times an einem entfernten strand zerreißt bis zu dem tödlichen kronleuchter in everlasting arms.
inklusive cd-version des albums.

a journey into connective contrast, the oxymoron lp is justice & metros best collaborative work to date. a refined exploration of self, history and the unmistakable mjazz sound. paradoxically both future and retro, a true oxymoron. support from dj flight, blocks, asc, sam kdc, code and jason os.

second 12 inch in the testpressing series, hand-stamped sleeve including insert with artwork by alex solman. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy, pressed at pallas so here we are at part two in the series: grows without bound on the a-side is a monster, a noisy analogue session resurrected from the burning embers of industrial and noise, harnessed into an unstable growl that slowly makes room for a barely-there percussive stumble - think somewhere between vainio and nate young. over on the flipside primitive equations takes for inspiration the bare-boned, hyper-tense production of photeks still devastating ni-ten-ichi-ryu, slugging out feral, steely noise and ardcore torque forged by calloused hands and burning minds to cruel, propulsive effect.

miles has been releasing material on modern love for a decade, first as one half of pendle coven, then on his own as mlz, and eventually pairing up with sean canty to record as demdike stare. in between he has also pursued more experimental terrain under the suum cuique moniker, produced jungle for the hate project and (together with andy stott) taken on the occasional release as millie & andrea for modern love sublabel daphne. he is also an admired, exhilarating dj, his sets have been known to span a broad spectrum of electronic music, from the obscure uk techno of labels like radioactive lamb and irdial, to classic chicago house, detroit techno and - most importantly - early 90s jungle and breakbeat, feeding into his love of the most uncompromising end of the italian experimental movement, musique concrète, synthwave and contemporary noise.

demdike stare return to the lab with two extended new productions, inaugurating a series of untamed releases brought together under the testpressing banner. collision was recorded in late 2012 and is pretty much unlike anything you will have heard from demdike before, an intense high-frequency re-arrangement of jungle and noise, like a more brutal variant of the demdike-affiliated hate project, fed through a bank of analogue boxes and pedals, left to spin uncontrollably for 10 minutes before fading to black. misappropriation on the flip feeds off a different noise altogether, perched precariously between the mangled percussion you would most commonly associate with muslimgauze and the metallic clank of industry, a proper sunstroke riddim: angry and unforgiving.

house of black lanterns is the brand new project from dylan richards, formerly known as king cannibal (ninja tune) and zilla (warp). retaining the earlier influence of dj krusts sprawling drum & bass soundscapes, house of black lanterns sees richards develop his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of rhythm & sound whilst nodding to the catchy, yet occasionally bleak floorfillers of trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of michael mann.

rainer veil are liam morley and dan valentine, two friends who met while studying contemporary music in the north of england. the pair began improvising and making drones in a dark basement before incorporating a broader palette and forming rainer veil as an ongoing concern last year. *struck* is their first ep and debut for modern love, following an appearance at the label boiler room takeover in august 2012.

jack dice is a new project from john twells and walkmaster flex, now releasing their debut ep for modern love. john twells, amongst very many other things, runs the type label and has been producing music of various different disciplines and varieties over the last 15 years. although hes never released anything on modern love before, hes a long time friend and associate of the label. walker is the manager of main attrakionz and has been djing with them for the last couple of years as the official green ova dj. jack dice is fuelled by an interest in bass, twells being a car audio nerd and walker having an obsession with 90s southern rap music. these are their first tracks produced together, who know what might follow.

live percussionist turned dj/producer, rafael moraes, first made a name for himself in the brazilian house scene when he took command of the radio program beats eldorado a platform upon which he was able to showcase his aptitude for mixing genres of modern electronic music.

following on from a pair of extended players released in 2011 (passed me by / we stay together), andy stott returns to modern love with luxury problems, an 8 track album of new material recorded over the last 12 months. five of the tracks on the album feature the voice of alison skidmore, andys onetime piano teacher whom he hadnt seen since he was a teenager back in 1996. there was no grand gesture in mind, it just sort of happened – but after almost a year of studio work the result is really quite unlike anything you will have heard from him before.

machen wir uns nichts vor, wir haben es hier mit einem stolzen vater zu tun. und eigentlich muss man mindestens alben von sting und den dire straits in seinem plattenschrank haben, um zum vati rock dazuzugehören. solch ein vater ist snaevar njáll albertsson aber gar nicht. dad rocks ausrufezeichen steht eher für das gegenteil eines vaters, der seine kinder mit musik aus seiner generation plagt. snaevars inspirationen kommen aus der gegenrichtung: sie erwachsen aus seinen engsten beziehungen, wie der zu seiner kleinen tochter. pathos, ironie und modernes vater-sein bringt der isländische musiker nun auf seinem inzwischen zweiten album >mount modern< zusammen.

a - side: i love my lady (the black bahia version) ashley reworks an unreleased collaboration between chic and lounge legend johnny mathis. what ?!!!! this has summer anthem written all over it. beedle waves his magic wand over this future classic beach groove to create a joyful sing-a-long. b - side: addis ababa (afrikanz on marz kosmik rework ) ashley and his musical partner darren morris add their trippy aom vibes to this rare studio one classic to create an afro/reggae/drone/psychedelic monster. it pulls you in and does not let you out. this is an essential rework for all the true heads out there.

nice price deal !!! expect to get lured into the purple maze with this third release by the dutch imprint, once again by mysterious producer yør with his >modern slaves of contemporary contexts ep<. again it will be a shadowy and esoteric dancefloor experience like few others.

subversion: subversion was made by the dna strands of artist nick modern, featuring the vocals of inja, in a well kept secret scientific lab. this track has a pure venom snare that when it strikes leaves you powerless in its wake , face melting beats and a vocal that will make you spin and make you dizzy. snakecharmer: snake charmer, after walking in the desert for days , you begin to lose reality as the synth starts to build, it takes over your mind and starts mesmerizing you as you go on a journey into the space invader bass that keeps building and building until it blows you away. support by: dj nihal, kc, raskwane, cookie monsta, sunchase, radio1, rinse fm, get darker, demon, displaced paranormals, plastician, j da flex, hatcha, alley cat, sls

!! vinyl only release , 300 copies only !! > modern underground music< is a collection of tracks culled from many corners of the underground. hopefully the first in a series. i want to feature a cross-section of genres, with a slew of new artists you might not be familiar with. i guess i could go the easy route and sign tracks from c2, cvs, etc. but thats not really what b/c is about

winter is here meaning cold snaps, gritters, snowmen and of course, fina 006. the new record takes a different angle than previous releases, enlisting a few friends and local leeds gents to bring a cool little french-filtered number to the fina repertoire.

part of the 839 remix project we have the one and only pfms remix of touch feel and the epic jason os remix of solomon by justice & metro forthcoming pressed on vinyl packaged in a hand screen printed sleeve.

a - side: i aint hiding (heavy disco edit)
ashley gets low down and dirty with the southern rock giants the black crowes. their >i aint hiding< track was a real marmite moment for their fans. ashley (being a fan) turns the stonesy disco rock track (think miss you) inside out to create a psychedelic dancefloor wig out. already a big fave with the horse meat disco crew this has been one of mr beedles most requested edits/reworks over the last couple of years and he has decided to let this one out the vaults. its a monster.

limited white vinyl pressing !!! long awaited solo return of juan mendez to the sandwell camp. finally we have a solo return e.p. from sandwell mainstay silent servant and it doesnt disappoint

volta cab has made quite an impact on the nu disco / deep house scene since last year. he is a multitalented, versatile producer, performing brilliantly in a range from from nu disco, deep house, soul, techno to breakbeat. approaching music in an open way, he is not restricting himself to a certain genre, catching the zeitgeist. on serenades, volta cab takes us back to 1992 with a 4 tracker called >house of the rising fire ep<. all of the tracks are heavily influenced by rave and house soundscapes of the early 90s. think of early prodigy, altern8, rachel wallace and baby d, combined with a modern nu disco twist.

long awaited solo return of juan mendez to the sandwell camp. finally we have a solo return e.p. from sandwell mainstay silent servant and it doesnt disappoint. juan sticks to his trademark sheering sound-scapes and clattering lo-fi drums to take us away once again, superb.

g.h. is gary howell, longtime associate of modern love as one half of pendle coven and sometime contributor to the hate project. the ground ep features howells first material produced outside of pendle coven and takes on a much darker, more stripped down aesthetic - making use of location recordings amassed over the last decade. the title track extends over 7 minutes from a solitary bass pulse into a slow, three dimensional industrial reduction heaving with uncomfortable bass weight and a sense of nervous expectation. its like the bare, skeletal noise framework for darkest junglist hardcore stripped of its percussion - all bar a bass drum and intense shards of noise. albedo has more of a swing to it, dominated by a growling bassline and the metallic clunk of disjointed percussion at odds with the squashed funk lurking somewhere at its core. the template is extended on earth, a brilliantly discordant club variant that sounds like an r&b mastertrack exploded into 100 constituent parts and put together not entirely in the right order. it builds and collapses into itself, a stylistic oddity that at one and the same time brings to mind boards of canadas re- working of colonel abrams - trapped and the extreme frequency vortex of the raster noton lab

recorded in the immediate aftermath of his last ep >passed me by<, this new doublepack from andy stott features six new productions that are more desolate and exposed than anything on its predecessor. the opening >submission< tumbles into being with layers of washed-out digital revolutions, creating an artificial landscape thats quite at odds with the analogue machinations that follow - yet somehow rendering the alienated feel of this material perfectly. >posers< nudges its way into being abruptly and embeds another squashed funk variant thas all low-lit neon and growling textures, awkwardly shuffling into a more robust 4/4 template suffused with sparkling percussion and disembodied vocals. >bad wires< is the centrepiece of the ep, a relentless percussive cluster*ck that belies its slow tempo with a fearless rhythmic attitude. its as immersive and narcotic as anything ever produced by stott - peeling away one layer after another with each repeated listen. >we stay together< (part one) was the first track written for the ep and offers a more spacious narrative and a more sparkling, hazy palette - culminating in a beautifully frayed central hook thats somehow in keeping with the vhs aesthetic of both jamal moss and ferris bueller. >cherry eye< tumbles deep into a darkened hole before ep closer >cracked< turns up, fuelled by an odd mixture of adrenalin and sorrow to send you on your way.... buzzing and forlorn

daniel dexter is the latest new talent to emerge as part of the poker flat crew. after some success with his strong, futuristic productions on exploited records, the berlin based producer has found a new home in steve bugs modern house magnate. the moody, storming >no house for old men< is a superb example of daniels talents. synth-heavy, dramatic and restrained, this slow burning houser lifts and climbs into spacey, ecstatic moments as its detroit influenced keys and carl craig-esque peaks bring it home. the groovy >who knows motorcity< works a simple yet addictive theme in a powerful pop-house moment, especially designed for summertime evening action. clean, bright percussion and rubbery synths flavour this delightful second course! the deeper, hypnotic tones of >the other day< have an almost soundtrack quality as subtle key changes and detailed sound design take this track into more subterranean realms. melancholic yet positive in its resolution, this is future house music in its prime!

tom giles previous twelve on modern soul saw him flex his muscles as a producer of sample-based wonky disco. this latest release, however, shows him stepping up to the challenge of crafting heavy boogie gems from scratch – with not a sample to be seen. the 12 inch kicks off with colour theory, a memorable mid-tempo number where crisp snares cracking between a lithe synth-line and a funk-bass backbone, featuring alex farrell of the london afrobeat collective on guitar. its a boogie daisy-cutter, packed, primed and ready for dropping on discerning dancefloors.

miles whittaker has been an integral part of the modern love label since its inception in 2002 - as one half of both pendle coven and demdike stare, as well as his own productions under the mlz and millie monikers. after almost 15 years writing music, this is the first release miles is putting out under his own name and marks a turning point of sorts in his production style, or rather, in its sequencing. the facets ep brings together different ends of his production style, unifying elements of the house and techno he s most commonly released as mlz together with the more broken production signatures usually reserved for millie and the darkened tribalism of demdike stare. flawed opens the set with a linn loop from the archives, stretched and slowed down with an intoxicated aesthetic that s somewhere between house and dub, before lustre re-configures source material originally keyed in by labelmate andy stott with a nice line in squashed percussion. primer on the flip extends from a demdike stare outtake and veers off into an analogue drum machine workout, before on the fly ends the set with a recording made straight to mixing desk from an array of mis-wired and malfunctioning drum boxes, contact microphones and samplers, over at his studio the mill earlier this year.

mini lp in limited clear vinyl and pink sleeves! 300 copies only

disco disco disco

the second outing from deepbass on his informa imprint comes around with 2 deep and dark techno-cuts and fine remixes by modern heads and schermate.

produced slowly and meticulously over the last 12 months, these seven tracks are the closet thing we have had to a new album from andy stott since the release of his debut full-length merciless five years ago. taking influence from an array of seemingly incoherent noises, from the indefinable and unforgettable mind- tricks of arthur russell to the slowhouse of kassem mosse, from the alternate vhs realities of james ferraro and jamal moss to the linn drum classics of the vintage prince era - these seven tracks create their own pace and agenda, largely shying away from the dancefloor in favour of something more complex and hard to define.

abe is back with a spring monster. three tracker ep of mystery and dancefloor madness. can you say vinyl only?
