fortuna records return with a mysterious album by the anonymous artist known only as moontribe. a deep-space journey between tribal percussion, hypnotizing organs and long echo ripples, all joining in for a snake-charming voodoo ritual of which moontribe is the shaman. expect african drums, hints of cumbia, and distant galaxy exploration in unmeasured doses. an absolute must-have for fans of sun ra, moondog and idris ackamoor.

....and we d sleep out under the stars, didn t even need a blanket... victor valiant is a musical pairing of two friends who ve been meaning to go in the studio for many moons, but life has always got in the way. keith tenniswood and suade bergemann give you seven tracks of sublime funk and sonic experiments coming straight from suade s mega studio deep in the northeast of england. recorded last year over two 3 day sessions, it’s the next release on keith s asking for trouble label aft003. cut and mastered between the two producers they have executed every level of production for this double pack vinyl release. asking for trouble is keith tenniswood (radioactive man’s) recently birthed label and home to the emissions from his studio and treasured time spent with producer friends. suade bergemann is a newcastle-based producer, mastering engineer and founder of techno label adapted vinyl. he collaborates with steve legget and is a resident at free rotation.

one of the deepest reaching projects from the multifaceted vibraphone stable resurfaces for an extended trip through ambient sonics that marks possibly the most daring departure on the esteemed italian label to date. the harmonious tones undulating throughout sketches from space are instant soothers, taking the odd cue from techno but defiantly beatless and meditative. its a surprising addition to the long and winding vibraphone story, but also feels like one of the strongest steps forward the resurgent label has taken since returning to the fray. just try sinking into lagrangian point l4 and you ll see exactly what we mean.

five hundred and seventy-three moons ago (give or take), thunder tillman and his personal shaman emerged from the esp institute with an epic debut ep of baked psychedelics entitled jaguar mirror. we now bare witness to the duo’s glorious follow-up as they initiate us into the night school of universal wisdom. these two cosmic jokers possess a vibrant and fearless sense of exploration that knows no boundaries, as if their dreams translate directly into song and their bodies exist merely to channel music they’ve tapped into from another world, one where influences are uncharted and any instrument imaginable is available at their fingertips. as with jaguar mirror, their grasp of all things analogue begins with guitar laying the slightly imperfect foundation for four harmonious narratives, a journey that begins with a fast paced gallop across vast landscapes in search of the incan god of thunder, catequil, and gently concludes with us lying horizontally to absorb sporadic beams of healing light. the discourse throughout night school of universal wisdom is as charming as it is exquisite, orienting the listener with a bouquet of warm tones whilst layering plies of musical dialogue so subtle they require repeated study. thunder tillman manage to weave the past into future without diverting to pastiche, successfully merging their characterized production with melodic mastery and a sense of humor, a creative achievement that accredits them as two of our most esteemed scholars.

after a career spanning more than 25 years john beltran lands on the belgian de:tuned label with the long-awaited follow-up album to his widely acclaimed classic 90s masterpiece “ten days of blue”. on “moth” beltran opens his heart by combining melody, emotion and soul with infectious grooves. as such he lays down the definitive and timeless detroit sound with a clear nod to the early innovators. from 4/4 dance floor burners to tribal shufflers and ambient interludes, “moth” is a well-balanced journey full of blissful atmosphere for both the mind and feet.
the matching artwork was designed by the talented plastica from spain. matt colton took care of the mastering duties to ensure the highest playback quality. the album will be released as a 180 gr vinyl double pack.
de:tuned would like to thank john and everyone that has been involved in the making of this wonderful album. stay tuned!

primitive trust is the coming together of two experienced musical minds. in one corner is will saul of the influential aus music empire, and in the other is tom mangan, aka tee mango, the producer who started millionhands record and clothing label. the pair met many moons ago and reconnected recently at a festival in morocco. they bonded over music, lunch and shared family travails - and as they both now live in somerset decided a little local studio collaboration seemed all but essential. between them, these consumate country gentlemen have seen plenty a musical styles come and go, so decided their best route forward would be to make music to please themselves. to that end, they holed themselves up in tee mangos woodshed studio with the following ground rules: they would make music only with the gear they had (mpc 2000, ableton, roland 101, juno, fender rhodes, various fx pedals) they would trust their instincts and go with first feelings they would embrace the joy of randomness if in doubt they would ask what would carl do? with that, you have the simple but effective mo of primitive trust. these sessions have resulted in a series of three eps to be released over the course of four months. each ep will feature 2 or 3 original tracks and one fresh remix, with unique artwork and an illustration by all-around visual auteur geoff mcfetridge. using the building blocks of house, and classic techno primitive trust can do zoned out and romantic, as much as driving and heady, but with an ease that comes from experience, years in the making. while tipping their proverbial hats to the past they also look to the future with their sound, mixing samples, wigged out synthwork and propulsive rhythms to create something honest and heartfelt that will stand the test of time

this june session victim return to delusions of grandeur imprint with their third studio album.listen to your heartis the result of a year of cross-continental scripting, started in their hamburg studio and wrapped up stateside in san francisco’s room g studios where the duo had worked on their 2014 lpsee you when you get there. here we present the first of three lp samplers containing four tracks each, cut nice and loud for the vinyl crew. bring it back gets things rolling with session victim’s trademark live drum breaks, looped up pads and hooky vocal samples. only good vibes here, with uplifting keys bringing a warm and soulful edge whilst shimmering juno notes add a floaty element to get lost in. next up we have if we can make it here, the title being something of an in-joke with the boys when they find themselves in the more remote or far-flung corners of the world performing their music to an appreciating crowd. the track is based around a simple yet beautiful 4-bar chord progression repeating throughout and shows svm in a playful and jazzy mood, managing to include soloing flute and marching snare drum rhythms without as much of a flinch!moons and flowers is up next, another sublime slice of hazy house music with a wonderful organic and live sound palette. echoing rhodes licks join dubby synth fx, adding waves of colour whilst the gentle vocal provides the icing on the space-cake. lastly we have the hatch, which winds things down somewhat for a lovely, somewhat stoned interlude track which is over all too soon. an impeccable demonstration of retro-inspired yet forward thinking house,listen to your heartsees session victim at the top of their game.

having lurked in the tape scene for many moons, al-90 brings his dishevelled house sound to the dancefloor with this single for tape throb. despite the name of the label, this is in fact destined for vinyl, and leads with the fuzzy yet funky cheremushki groove, assisted in the process by monokle. there s a whiff of gerry read s dusty production values present on fluid, but al-90 seems locked into a more discernible beat. that changes on cataract with its degraded hardcore breaks drowning under a sea of unforgiving processing, while tape throb label boss the cyclist is an appropriate choice of remixer to finish the record with a crunchy yet focused version of cheremushki groove

‘fear eats the soul’ is the third release from sordid sound system on invisible inc. his previous two records ‘in a year of 13 moons’ and ‘lux exterior’ have been getting plays from the likes of andrew weatherall, manfredas, john talabot, idjut boys and thomas von party. describing ‘fear eats the soul’ as a concept ep made by four imaginary bands from detroit, new york, paris and munich, sordid sound system says: “i’m pissed off with passive aggressive shabby chic artisan boutiques besieging my studio and complaining about the noise, i’m pissed off with coked up yuppy hipsters in land rovers taking over my neighbourhood with fancy restaurants with names that sound like fucking law firms, i’m pissed off at the resurgence of the far right and creeping fascism, i’m pissed off with self sabotaging english and american voters and the neo liberal corporate elites that have pissed away opportunities and alienated them, i’m pissed off with modern recording technology creating a sea of homogenous unimaginative beige bullshit, and i’m really pissed off that my favourite drummer jaki leibezeit is dead, but apart from that it’s all good, enjoy the new record.”

out of the south american continent colombian producer duo uron appears for the first time on black brook limited. two tracks of the original and three remix versions completes the ep. the tack titles hiperion and leda are multiple terms. one of saturn s moons is called hyperion and one of jupiter is called leda. we don t know for sure if there is an intended meaning to their sound involved. what we listened to is what you get now. pure energetic techno, signal sounds, heavy drums. the upcoming ep contains more than 30 minutes quality music. responsible for the two remixes is greek producer endlec. hyperion and leda are also two terms leading into the world of greek myths. is it the bridge to endlec while travelling through space your soundtrack should be the 9 minutes groover of leda - repressed mind & escape to mars remix is the perfect piece to float.

the second vinyl only release from this impeccable label presents textures of true deep house with vapour rise and the mysterious beings beyond comprehension, a spoken word dedication to the light from a leading authority in the sound healing field, a call for us to find the higher purpose, particularly relevant in these changing times and finally chant of antara (meaning within in sanskrit) a blissful ambient piece created by layers of throat singing and ethereal effects. vapour rises is beautiful, melancholy, meditative, deep house following on from the classics like fingers inc who created the genre so many moons ago. the celestial vocoder vocal version notes our searching for meaning, looking into little light boxes (our phones, computer screens and tvs)

cottam s ruff draft label makes a logical move and turns to a long-serving champion of gritty, soul-powered house jams from the tough side. dj nature may have made his name many moons ago, but he proves to be as relevant as ever on this killer two-track release. -alfred- is a tightly wound box jam that manages to maintain tension throughout without needing to pander to the release part of the process, sounding all the more exciting for it. -blood on your hands- meanwhile finds nature heading into the scuffed, soul-sampling territory he s most at home in, and the ensuing rumble of off-key funk is impossible to refute.

‘freedom school’ is well known for releasing music from the likes of ig culture, mark de clive lowe, eric lau and rick “the godson” wilhite. the third volume of the freedom school d.j. series features the work of kaidi tatham. there are three solid tracks on this 12” from beat-down house to jazzy down tempo beats. kaidi brings his futuristic funky fusion to give all the dancers warm and peaceful vibes!

bring 2 electronic masterminds together in the same studio and you’ll be gifted with a new perspective over what techno sounds like nowadays. super moon, a fresh collaboration between priku and arapu, has chosen liniar for its second appearance on vinyl. side a sets ground for the whole ep, with its incisive kick and raw bassline that carries the dna for the pure blood acid line, a line that carves space for a light infusion of deep sounds. and it’s the percussion that leads the opening on side b, slapped over the outskirts of a labyrinth of industrial samples, to cool down in a slow paced closing cut, filled with hypnotic hi hats and broken drums. expect super moons creations to stomp a dancefloor near you pretty soon!

lux exterior is the long player follow up to sordid sound system’s debut ep in a year of 13 moons (invinc 04) which came out last year garnering plays from the likes of andrew weatherall, manfredas, mr tc, mutant disco and krossfingers.
the vinyl release is limited to 299 copies and includes a download code.

morphology are finnish electro duo matti turunen and michael diekmann. making a welcome return to cpu, a label where their detroit influenced electro and stark dystopian melodies are very much at home.

hey everyone – so we re back again finally with number 5. it s taken us ages but expect a slew of 12- releases from us this year. the big news for stores is that we ve gone vinyl only. our reason is simple - we love digging and label honcho the mole only dj s vinyl so why not follow our passion! maybe tomorrow is starting the year off with a doozy from one of the most knowledged disco guru s on earth – koosh. this amazing dude has been keeping canada s west coast edits scene strong and free for many moons. the heads should know him thanks to his releases on cult labels such as common edits, red motorbike and his own 7 inches of love. what you get here are 2 prime cuts that we guarantee to bring the sunshine to any dance floor and a bonus fx ripper to melt minds.

the last few years has seen parris make a name for himself across a number of scenes, to the extent he is just as likely to be found spinning records for butterz as he is putting records out on berceuse heroique. here at idle hands we first touched base with parris many moons ago when he bought copies of the first release on his soundman chronicles label into our shop. as it is one of our favourite labels we were intrigued to hear what he would come up with as producer himself. needless to say we were impressed. presented here are two tracks that perfectly reflect his sound and our own a nod to techno here, a weighty bass line there, a love of reverb everywhere and all with a view to being played in dark rooms late at night. the 12 inch of burr and blue is idle hands last release of 2015 and we think it rounds off nicely what has been a great year for the label.

since infiltrating dancefloors and airwaves with april’s 2sox001 release, debukas has been dreaming away in his ‘shake box’ and travelling to another world. the follow up to that debut 2sox release is the dream travel ep from “the mr. fingers of the highlands” (brewster. bill, 2015, low life).

for the last 50 years, american popular music has been filled with the timeless songs of jimmy webb and here, flannelgraph records helps to continue that legacy with still on the line: a tribute to jimmy webb.

the second of 5 vinyl samplers taken from john digweeds *live in south beach* compilation. hand picked by the main man himself this time featuring bog, rampue, cosmic cowboys & damian lazarus.

cutters records are pleased to announce the debut vinyl (and vinyl only!) release from their latest signing, the la based artist kauf. since 2011 he has been honing his own dark twist on modern electronic music, with heavy drum production, dense, cinematic synth buildups and high-pitched, echo-laden vocals. his aesthetic lies somewhere in between the worlds of slow house, industrial dance and drony indie pop earning comparisons with the likes of caribou, matthew dear and toro y moi. an internet-only single caught the ears of cut copys frontman dan whitford, who promptly signed him for a forthcoming ep, entitled as much again on cutters records. the first taste of this ep comes in the form of the relocate 12 inch, including remixes by psychemagik, nile delta and moons. kaufs relocate is an dark anthem for the late-night-slow-dance, featuring sparse metallic percussion, chugging synth bass and vocals drowning in a sea of reverb. psychemagik take this vibe and run with it for their 7 minute house tinged rework. cutters own nile delta ups the energy with his signature acid-injection and moons (no recordings) rounds out the release.

zweites album von rainbow arabia. zum hoeren gibts ihren eigenen sound - irgendwo zwischen synthie, melodien, neon, hypnotischer atmosphaere und diversen reminiszenzen.

every successful story has its sequel .after the overwhelming great response to our volume one jeudi records is introducing new and already well known friends to the next chapter.the story is now to be continued by denis yashin, tapesh & dayne s, bunte bummler and camelphat

short version: swedish new school electronic disco music. one side with vocals by kicki halmos and a melancholic swing, the other one is slightly man parrish-ish and features viking muscle beats. both tweaked, edited and mixed by a certain terje olsen from another viking country. long version: during a long and cold night in stockholm some moons ago, a mysterious 7? was given to running backs chief a&r. he liked it so much that he wanted to convince the world of its greatness, got more copies, played them back to back, gave it out to djs and producers and there a certain terje olsen decided that he could prolong the all too short 7inch versions into a 12inch. and here we are. original versions released on drifter sthlm by samo forsberg. do some popping, locking & down-dogging!

ltd warehouse found! how many moons do we have in space? stephan bodzin and marc romboy will give us the answer one fine day. now they have called two of their tracks after the moons telesto (moon of the saturn, discovered in 1980) and hydra (moon of pluto, discovered in 2005!) and both have a pretty dark atmosphere, deep sounds and again impressing chord moog basslines you have not heart before. after the great >the alchemist< single on 20/20 vision and >atlas< on systematic and their remix on williams >shivering< another masterpiece to watch out for. massive hit

bristol based mensah anderson delivers something a little different from his current output and dj sets for his first release on deep medi. the gambia was picked up by mala almost two years ago and has yet to leave his record bag. it featured heavily in mala?s xlr8r?s podcast, which was voted best of 2011. ?the gambia? is a slow burning, dark minimal and heavily tribal journey taking in elements of techno, afrobeat with a touch of danchall, this output leans more towards mensah?s alias ?new york transit authority? than previous mensah releases and also shows the diversity of mensah as a producer. ?trailing moons of saturn? on the flip takes on a more laid back and cinematic approach with it?s subtly layered synths, thunderous bass stabs and intergalactic rave vibes and effects.

nice price deal !!! killer release from this new detroit artist and label that blurs the line between detroit house and the current sound coming from the uk. fans of shake and forward thinking uk dance music will lap this up. anthony shake- how many moons -- broken car widows , claude young- how many moons and broken car windows, marcellus pittman - some next shit out of detroit! how many moons, laurent garnier -realy like this ep a lot. will present it on my radio show very soon. dj 3000- franki - its nice to see some new young talent that taking chances on a whole new sound. deep & funky

its moony time: after the famous album >moments< and the >acid moon ep< follows >the cat and the moon<: three deep, chicago house tracks full of rhyhtms, acid moods, jazz and soul. plus one accapella track, which is a poem by william butler yeats. yeah, the cats are dancing to the moon while the rhythms, synths and growls are waiting to please you! limited vinyl edition!

when approached to join forces in remixing the classic q-burns abstract message & lisa shaw track >this time< & rabbit in the moons >floori.d.a.<, q-bam + grumptronix decided to make some special mixes, thankfully ignoring all the new fads of the day. if you get anything out of this just let it be that these are not anything like the other mixes you have heard of these songs. try them - you will like them - and they will like you in return.

ok … the sad truth is we have been searching for this dat close to 6 years since rabbit in the moons david christophere and san diego native sotero finished the project. both mixes were done around winter 95 / 96. despite excitement around the label at the time, eventually the tracks fell to the wayside under the age-old excuse of >figuring out what to do with them<. meanwhile, knowing a good thing when he heard it, three made a dat copy and cut some actetates to play out. they made their way around a good portion of the earth via himself, some friends and one west coast dj who boldly vowed to just put it out on his own --- off the slate --- if we didnt get our act together. fortunately he didnt, but neither did we because both david and three misplaced the dat copies and sotero never had one!

hallucination limited delivers a limited edition vinyl only release from none other than fellow new yorker… zev of wolf + lamb. gathered here are zevs strongest outings for the club since the brilliant >forget the world feat. beckford<. we dare say this is his best work to date with >queen of hearts< being one of the freshest takes we have heard on good ole house music this year. pushing all the right buttons, but also some most would never think to. queen of hearts feat. panu moon the initial groove instantly does what all great house does, but what follows are the contemplative vocals of a showman on the road via panu moons soft country drawl… playfully tweaked by zev adding an edge without taking away from panus croon. an unexpected techno vibe begins to ebb and flow over the groove yet it all magically stays together through the voice of a man searching for the queen of his heart. its house music with both an edge and sense of humor not unlike paperclip people, but in a vein more akin to >every now and then< by ralph falcon

the 5th release of goodvibe records sees hugo merging forces with gambo, a dj/producer from turin, a living legend of the citys underground scene. three tracks made of deep beats and dark disco atmosphere and a digital bonus remix from audiojack, the stunning duo of 20:20 vision family, an absolute amazing floor filler. from the desolate plains of mars and the frozen moons of the outer solar system, from the milky way to the ends of the universe, you will hear of wonders often hard to describe and sometimes even harder to fathom. a cosmic keyhole which it is easy to go through but really difficult to return.

act re act: daaaaark is the typical expression used to define act re act. uplfting synths, spastic latin percussion, and a pummeling 808 bring some light for the harder moments.
ms. minnie: kitty ms. minnie, age 39, was caught saturday evening sneaking a 909 into the club and having her way with the hi-hats. she ripped it up in honor of larry heard before being forcefully removed by security. the whereabouts of said 909 are unknown.
the origin: a minimal bit of italo kit shoved through the hatch of a nasa shuttle (it was recorded in houston, tx after-all) and sent around several moons of several planets. what was discovered is only now being made available for public consumption.

excellent pumpin 4 track techno ep !

one of rough trades island 50th anniversary selection - 50 crucial titles, specially selected by us to highlight the unique contribution this seminal label has made to british music since 1959. the results of nick drakes solo sessions were as harrowing and stark as anything by robert johnson or charley patton. enclosed in an inner world of psychological distress, drake recorded pink moons dispatches from a private hell that was simultaneously terrifying and beautiful. both the lyrics and the melodic motifs are pared to the bone here, their simplicity making them all the more immediately striking. the most nakedly emotional and disturbing moment is probably parasite, a visceral but mysterious account of a disconsolate soul roaming through the world in search of succor, with drake taking the starring role, ultimately offering, take a look, you may see me in the dirt. this was the end of the road for nick drake in more ways than one, but just the beginning for the scores of songwriters subsequently inspired by his bleak but beautiful visions.

from out of a clear blue sky comes ?my electric family?, the second full-length and third all-round release from new zealand?s bachelorette. bachelorette?s music beams to us through a universe of unconquered pop music, where long beams of sunlight extend to infinity, and blue moons rise wistfully in the deep purple expanse. she stands in the cradle of modern songwriting, that of psychedelic pop music. the sense of infinite possibility felt in those songs, the desire to manipulate a collective sensation to become anything at all, informs bachelorette?s journey. bachelorette?s song structures are traditionally examinations of love and longing, the exploration of self versus self and in relation to the surrounding, silent universe. the songs of ?my electric family? emphasize a particular fascination: the meeting of man and machine. ?my electric family? is an arresting development in the world of sweet pop music.
