there are few artists making great music full stop and keeping it tight and delivering quality each time they release music. kaiserdisco are definitely made in germany and a duo that therefore has the respect of the whole dance scene. kaiserdisco manage to pull off that contradictory trick, producing modern cutting edge tracks with a nevertheless timeless and classic feel.
>kuala< the a-side track is an ethno natured track with lively bassline and uplifting small melody stabs, smithereens of vocals and a superb drive. beneath all of this you find the kaiserdisco fx department works with every possible production skill to keep the seemingly never ending loop active and rocking. >kuala< is a firework of a rhythm monster!
for the more traditional kaiserdisco fan, you will find on the flipside with >singa< another powerful tool of a track. kaiserdisco keep a beat tight and introduce a lot of rising cool sounds building up lots of vertical hands up in the air energy!

walls alessio natalizia and sam willis dont deal in perfect wholes. the kompakt duo return swiftly on the back of 2010 s critically lauded self titled debut, an album that picked up mojos coveted electronic album of the year, featured in nmes end-of-year lists, not to mention winning fans such as of jamie xx, caribou, james holden and impressing us trio battles so much that they have invited the pair on tour around the us this coming october. yet it isnt these admittedly impressive accolades that make the announcement of second lp >coracle< such an anticipated one, what makes walls so alluring is the fully immersive experience of their mellifluous electronica – reaching out far and wide to pull influences sonic, emotional and theoretical together into patterns of blissful phantasmagoria. taking their debut as the prototype, willis and natalizia have taken those initial early-sunrise evocations and pushed them to even more grandiose expanse.<br /including cd version of this album.

here comes strike number 3!!the new ep will be made by andrea di rocco, who is known for more massive beats, but now, as mr. smiley guy produces a more housy sound. but still the a-side tracks ohne mayo and ohne senf, which are full of drums, deep vocals and a significant baseline, have a driving feel to it.on the b- side left hand has continuing, harmonizing and warm synthie-sounds which gives it a deep-house feeling. on top of that there is a smooth dubnitzky remix, which is for more relaxed moments. all in all a perfect package to start the autumn. massive feedback by dubfire, maceo plex, maya jane coles,david squillace, shlomi aber, pig&dan and many more

we are pleased to present the latest addition to our slow motion family - marcello giordani. disco overlord, laser cowboy and cosmic heartbreaker. >chubby rain< takes you on a journey through inner space and outer dimensions where the infinity of the universe glows in neon-indigo and thoughts and feeling come and go like waves on a beach. with wandering arpeggios, washed out digital strings and distant vocals, there s just the right amount of strut in the precision-engineered beats to propel you through the night. >roma< brings us back closer to earth with a smattering of classic disco sounds reinterpreted for a parallel universe. playful synths make us think of strange animals in distant galaxies, and inter-stellar adventuring with a happy ending.flip the record over and masimilliano pagliara breaks chubby rains epic journey in to smaller, sharper hops that retain the best parts of the original but adds extra rocket boosters to make for a more exciting ride. finally modus, the dirty, sexy robot cousin that we only talk about in hushed digital voices. she is slow, sleazy and spilling oil out of every hole. is that reggae she is listening to?

john daly continues his search for the beauty on house music. his own one track records label delivers number 6. and its another stunning release with an amazing emotive house track in the vein of larry heard and some early chicago masters that been exploring the more fragile side of house music. john delivers tracks that are emotive yet strong and even some jacking vibes in it and a fierce bassline that keeps the pressure on. the chant comes in two parts and are among the most beautiful tracks we ve heard in a while... part 1 is the original version with full on vocal chants, where part two is a sort of dub mix with amazing melodies. another stunner by mr john daly.

early support from marcel dettmann, dvs1, shifted, lucy, par grindvik, tommy four seven, speedy j, asc, go hiyama, xhin and many more.
perc traxs transatlantic duo donor / truss return to the label for the follow-up to their >indifference ep< which was released at the start of 2010. since then they have recorded and remixed for a number of high-profile labels, most notably stroboscopic artefacts to which donor contributed an ep to the labels renowned monad series whilst truss appeared on the remix ep the preceded lucys debut album.
the four tracks that form >endo< represent a new peak for the donor / truss sound with each individual section working as both a self-contained track and a quarter of the entire endo experience. together the 4 parts join together to make a complete piece of music, stretching across 23 minutes and 2 sides of vinyl.

hotflush recordings presents the first new scuba single since 2010s landmark album, triangulation. since that release scuba has concentrated more squarely on deep, epic house and techno via the scb project, most notably with loss released earlier this year on aus music. that focus extends itself to the lead track of this release, adrenalin, which must be the most unashamedly dancefloor scuba track to date, while b-sides never and everywhere take the well-documented fascination with melody that pervaded previous scuba material to a new level.

brand new track from four tet, titled >locked< which features on the fabriclive 59 cd and the 12 inch is out in september. more deep vibes from mr hebden - great stuff!

killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

this ep takes 3 of fergie s finest musical works and hands over the remix responsibilities to more heavyweight names including: nicole moudaber, sian and the mighty sasha carassi!
you know what to expect on this one. now its simply a matter of placing it on the turntable and watching the club go wild!

canadian electro mainstay lowfish, lets loose a preview of his forthcoming >hypersensitivity< full-length. lowfish is gregory de rocher, and barring last years >memories…< album, a compilation of vintage archive recordings, this double-a-side 7 inch is actually the first new lowfish release since 2008. while his last 2 albums could best be described as serene and clinical, electro at its most austere, lowfishs return to suction records, the label he co-runs with solvent, also marks a return to a more melancholic electropop sound.

two tracks by our berlin based twisted sister, mary velo. you can expect techno at its rawest, and a truly surprising remix by delsin wonderboy conforce.
support by: alex flatner, angel molina, marcel fengler, florian meindl, markus suckut, par grindvik, stanny franssen, tomaz, danny tenaglia, deg and many more!

>rdjcs5<, a new 4-track 12-inch ep by solvent, is the result. this is suction022. each and every sound on this record came from rdj’s old cs5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by solvent over the course of several months. the limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge, but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synthnerdery, rdjcs5 speaks more of solvents musical kinship to thee analord. opening track >curtains< bears similarity to early rephlex signing bochum welt, while >radiator<, >mould<, and >tassels< each contain hallmarks of the classic afx sound. at the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably solvent. the 12 inch vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies, in brown chipboard sleeve with sticker, and also contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side b. entitled >sandpaper<, this cut will be individually hand-etched by solvent, for a 1-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience.

moving through the worm hole, a track materializes at each stop offering emotive tunes that pull at your senses. alexander shows off his skills as you travel into four different universes encompassed within four house yet techno musical adventures. white rhino (deep down beat down) - begins the journey with an up tempo banger in which the bass syncopates ever so nicely. a message about the white rhino insues quickly and more synths come to take you on a space age trip. transcend - smooth synth line with a deep kick, leads us to gritty yet soft pads that build and build as vision of stars are created by waveforms. deep within - bassline and melodies blare out as the beat pulsates, and out of no where a voice comes up from deep within the darkness. the abyss - ending the journey is a super deep tunes that relaxes your mind, as you go deeper and deeper with the bassline, chords, and vocals…

1 track each from area, hakim murphy, and murdoc, + bonus remix. the 2 on a lean more toward the stoner side, the b is all murdoc focusing more on the beats. the past year has seen area dropping solo records for francois ks wave music, anton zaps ethereal sound, and brendon moellers steadfast recordings. with songs described as >guaranteed to create a special mood in a club< (resident advisor) and >warm, shoegaze-dreamy but floor-ready pop< (little white earbuds), areas heady productions tread the line between functionality and abstraction. hakim is a producer/dj from the chicagoland area whos musical style ranges from house to techno. hakims journey begin as a dancer in chicago as a lot of his musical influences come from larry heard, robert armani, dance mania, relief, and cajual records. as a chicago footwork dancer, hakim gradually became inspired by the music and began playing records in 1996. since then hakim has ventured into production work and eventually founded two records labels in 2008: machining dreams, and synapsis records with avondale music society. hakims discography includes releases on metamorphic, planet detroit, and stolen kisses. murdoc is a dj/producer and current member of the condiment dj-collective, hosting events featuring the likes of acid circus, sammy dee (perlon), and mark henning.

the vol.2 of jd twitchs cumbia edit. this time is more killer and more mixable dj tool than last one. play it loud!! regards,

jazzanova lands on wurst! early dj support comes from soul clap, radio slave, dimitri from paris, ewan pearson, sebo k, rob mello and slow hands. weve done the unthinkable, scored the unimaginable, and wrangled none other than jazzanova (!) for an über-limited one-sided vinyl-only release. while >i can see< feat ben westbeech came out a few years back, filippo moscatellos most excellent disco version never saw the light of day - until now, of course. doesnt much more sunshine-filled and soul-drenched than this stellar take on the esteemed berlin collectives original, and we are both honored and humbled to get to work with both jazzanova and their label sonar kollektiv, and of course filippo himself, on this very special release. filippo moscatello started to produce music in 1994 under the dj naughty moniker, and has since gone on to work with labels like gigolo, eskimo, and moodmusic to name but a few, releasing the artist albums disco volante (gigolo) and pagliaccio (moodmusic), as well as the acclaimed compilation, one naughty night in berlin (eskimo). in addition to his production work, filippo maintains a club residency at cookies in berlin called luv dancin where hes played along special guests like moodymann, jerome sydenham, ata, bottin and loud e.

after 2 years of throwing events in new york, stranjjur nycs next logical step was to move on to a more international platform. after introducing artists such as milton jackson, carlo lio, spencer parker, manik, till von sein, alex niggemann, pezzner and many others to the big apple, stranjjurs kev obrien (alongside label partner andy inelli) have decided to carry on the same a&r principals that made the events a success over to stranjjurs newest venture: a fully-fledged record label. the new brooklyn-based label has decided to hit the ground running with its debut ep coming from hot italian duo, lula circus. having also just recently been signed to one of americas hottest labels, culprit, its safe to say that the lula boys (danilo and sergio) are on the cusp of becoming stars of the underground dance scene. the vinyl edition of the miami vices ep features two amazing original tunes from lula circus, including title track, miami vice, which takes aim at the dance floor with a full arsenal of heavy bass and a powerful disco-inspired hook that instantly grabs a hold of the soul and refuses to let go. ovum and hot natured wonder-kid, manik, delivers a highly addictive remix, by slicing the main hook up, while supporting it with an insanely groovy bass line. on the b-side is pumpin groovin moovin, a future-funk jam thats carried by a focused low-end groove and catchy vocals. the remix comes courtesy of freeranges (and recent crosstown rebels signee) pezzner, and its one of his biggest remixes ever. this one has been receiving lots of early promo hype, thanks in part to maya jane coles, who included it in her bbc radio essential mix earlier this month. mayas support has helped to create a global whirlwind of anticipation amongst house music aficionados for the release of this incredible ep. the time has finally come for stranjjur imprint to be born!

with private golds newest offering the inimitable cologne producer martin beume has really taken a huge and achingly beautiful step in his songwriting and production. some might know him from releases with connaiseur or brut! records, but this record is miles higher… wisps of detail adorn each song like edible gold flake on a luscious chocolate ganache cake. synths flutter and glide like summer butterflies and even the percussion is precious and clean. this is not to say it is only good for home listening. lead off track solid rubber has a tough and sexy deep house sway with echoes of brazilian bossa nova laid over its more traditionalist chicago house and jazz. lsdeep, has the full dirt stomp necessary for a forbidden tryst, but sneaks in smart samples and emotional filter washes to add unexpected depth. at 105bpm, you might not expect wip catch to fucking groooooove the way it does, but trust me kids, things are getting slower as we are getting older. and it feels great. soaring orchestral strings married with perfectly cut vocal samples are sure to get the more adventurous djs hypnotizing dancefloors like musical svengalis. and when you thought it was all over, axel boman turns in an amazing remix in his instantly recognizable non-traditional style. this dude is a lothario. all hip shake and cooing come-ons, its a reduced house gem that slinks its way into your pants.

terror danjah finally returns to the airwaves with his first new material since 2010s >undeniable< album on hyperdub. the masssively-anticipated >full attention< is the first step in the resurrection of his patented rhythm & grime sound, the style he made his name with in the early noughties with vocalists like shola and sade ama. this time out, ruby lee ryder is his voice of choice, and her distinctive vocal has already landed the track on the bbc 1xtra playlist, with further spins on radio 1 and rinse fm, and its a fixture in the boxes of djs like skream, mistajam and target. advance club promo has generated a ridiculously positive response right across the board, with hard support from brackles, swindle, alex nut, blackdown, wylie, and many many more, setting the scene for >full attention< to become an anthemic club and commercial hit as soon as it reaches the shops. on the flip mr danjah drops his trademark gremlinz logo for two 8 bar grime smashes that have been doing the rounds on rinse fm for the last half year. >east village< is a toast to the nights hardrive label hosted at the london club of the same name, and >jeckle & hyde< (exclusive to this 12 inch) has been battered in the raves by logan sama, zomby, and elijah & skilliam just to name only a few. this marks the beginning of a hefty release schedule for the grime kingpin including more high-impact singles and remixes on the way for greensleeves, butterz and hyperdub.

the big idea! ahoy sarp yilmaz and sinan kaya. after several eps on various labels now release their debut on simple as that records. the two guys from the big metropolis of istanbul bring us here, two beads which make the sun rise. the two men schaeufler & zovsky (acker records, 3000°) and andre kronert (ostwind, night drive music) each control still in a wonderful remix. even more diversity on this record is thus ensured.

jonas saalbachs last journey to south of france has put him in a more mellow mood, this two summer tracks have distinctly organic grooves and atmospheric climaxes.

troy pierce, marc houle & magda team up to present their first ever trio release on items & things, >down & out vol 1< - which takes its name from their newly created party series - events that are based around the dark & intimate, off the radar, and under the ground. troy pierce starts things off with >majikal<, introducing the eps dark magic with a climbing bassline, scattering, almost anxious percussion and buoyant sound effects panned throughout. ominous atmospheres and weighted textures produce a cinematic accompaniment to surveyors of uncharted terrain. building a continual tension-and-release cycle, the track is a lucid whirlwind of sonic imagery and trickery, balancing visceral sounds with the otherworldly. magda teams up with suade, a producer & friend from newcastle that we are sure to see more of, together they bring forth a true builder, a creeper, the type of track that reveals itself more with each layering sequence. a masterclass in dynamics, >fixation< is a dark groove thats haunted by a chilling vocal, wavering synth vibrato, unexpected melodies, and juxtaposes of funk. angular drums hit alongside swells of percussive echoes but, the focus of the track revolves around the bassline’s movement. as catchy as it is esoteric. marc houles >slowpe< ends the ep with a slightly slower pace, but in a disconcerting way: taking it down a few notches this one that transports the listener to the strangest dimension yet. filtered melodies start the tracks ascent, sounding like a trumpet thats been bent out of shape and played from the void. with dark textures compactly knit into a condensed wall of sound, a low-slung bassline trades places with eerie chords and sparse percussion

cco aka contra commumem opinionem has released 2 eps on the chicago based label mathematics that were played a lot at plak office. we have been even more amazed to meet him at zukunft club in zürich … the young talented producer is not from the windy city but from our lovely sweetzerland! soo here we go with 2 slices of raw chicago techno/house carefully crafted & extended for plak: the moody atmosphere of >structural constraints< will fly you far far away, on the flip side >structural drift< is a spiritual momentum with a liquid 303 lead and sensual pads for your chemical sunday therapy. this piece of wax is an analog affair, no software!

sherard ingram returns to trust with his first release of 2011: misinformation campaign. this is his third ep for the label after bio electronic and social engineering. on this record sherard ingram contrasts his lightning-fast electro-inspired rhythms with lush synth melodies and glistening arpeggios. on occasion more menacing and dystopian moods gain the upper hand, such as on the b-sides >whos watching the watchers< and >defect<. this record is impossible to pigeonhole, refining a style that is unmistakably stingrays own and which has over the past years earned him the respect of the electro, techno, dubstep, electronica, and minimal dnb camps alike.

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

so we went predominanlty stateside for our last outing, and decided to bring things back home this time. hoya003 is a strictly uk affair. opening up on the a-side is one of rudest producers and djs the uk has going for it. this aint a comment on her manners though, they are as impeccable as her production. after ikonika sent us a zip of some hoya potentials, we just knew >fleas< had to be the one featured on this 12 inch. a more sinister, rolling, emotional jam, it still packs as much as punch as ikonikas dj sets. kicking off the b-side is the homie om unit. now, this guy … this guy. are there any superlatives left to desribe his sonic masterpieces that have rocked too many dancefloors and had as many producers scratching their heads and re-assessing their mix-downs? an instant favourite, >fibonnaci 10< was one of the earliest cuts lined up for a release and when you listen you will see why. this guy. seriously. bringing things to a close, we hand over to one of our favourites from the flourishing cardiff scene. why doesnt monky have more music out? is one of those questions that has been asked too many times for our liking. so much so, we may have to take it upon ourselves to change that. but, for now, just enjoy >hipster<. a killer synth-laden nod to early ukg, but looking forward as opposed to sideways. enjoy.

three more disco throbbers courtesy of em vee aka marcel vogel and the always on-point lumberjacks in hell imprint. the entirety of the a-side is given over to jam >body heat<, a phat, james brown sampling slice of shoulder thrusting funk that you may have already heard in the more discerning discotheques across europe. wisely, the two b-side cuts offer something completely different, with the loose drums and squealing brass of gospel-sampling >the shouting< a perfect counterpoint to the uptempo disco-strut of >mouzon<.

croatians finest purveyor of disco and boogie returns with a delish four track ep on yam whos ism imprint. the four tracks have all the delicious trappings of rudman, dramatic strings, ample helpings of cowbell and vintage synth stabs. the a-side consists of the sleazy squelch of “crazy with you” in both original and remixed by yam who form, with the latter, more uptempo version just shading it. the flipside consists of the sultry boogie bap of “let this dream be real , with the original bringing to mind a glacially paced version of rockers revenge classic “walking on sunshine , while the disco dirtbox tweak bumps and grinds in all the right places - totally primed for club play!

supported by: tim toh, oskar offermann & edward, shaddy foul&sunk, boris hotton, andy weid, hunee,.. frank is back for another round. this time its frank music head poncho johannes delivering two heavy tracks for your dancefloor. we got a classic double-a side, personally stamped in a basement and limited as sunny days last summer. first there is >rough rough raw< ... well its rough and its rough and its sort of raw. dubby vocoders, 909, rave breaks, you name it! second is -way out of sight- which got a fuzzy bassline, little trance moments for maximum party pleasure and some more dirtness in between. this is most probably slammin muscle house for skinny jeans boys. to sum things up: basement is not a crime! our good friend tim says: a few days ago i listened to an old cassette from the year 2000. >roughroughraw< really contains the spirit of this time. the right tune to start taking some >e<s again, smoking a joint and gettin nuts on a tiny dirty dancefloor. underground ish for sure... and same for >way out of sight< especially the first chord of that synth, which reminds me on michael jacksons >thriller<. thank you and turn that swagger on!

for tantrums second release we have a mixture of established and up and coming artists.
>screams of another< by new guys zeal & litta combines haunting synths and vocals with a slamming drop that kills dancefloors. the track never sits still with loads of edits and surprises throughout making it a track that you just have to listen to all the way through.
scene legend current value comes in to remix the track keeping all the original elements and adding a brutal drop and his trademark slamming drums to make one of the biggest dancefloor smashers around.
dj support has come from many of the best djs in hard drum and bass including dj hidden, cooh, the dj producer, forbidden society, thought and many more.

its been a long wait but finally 501 returns with yet another bigtime 12inch that will roll out punches even more than mike tyson! fresh off his release from never say die sees 501 twisting it differently this time.. >gist< is a vocal infused stomper that opens the 12inch perfectly and sees 501 leaning into a swagger tip. it flows, it rocks, it jumps its everything in 1. it shows a different side to the standard 501 sound and shows he can bend any way he would like to. you can hear that in the b side >borderline< where he exchanges the sweet vocals of gist for a psychotic quote and the swagger lean for some ear shattering kicks & snares. hear borderline destroy your eardrums like the good old days with some sub! nothing beats the old fashioned heavyweight sound! another essential 501 record!

conforce goes deeper into delsin terrain... a very cool four tracker! preceding the release of his next full length album, dutchman conforce has selected four tracks to release as the dystopian elements ep. but dont let the title fool you because, as is often the case with boris bunnik, there is a warm analogue/digital harmony to his sounds which is more than worthy of its place on delsin

the northern spanish duo returns to pole headquarters, this time for the labels number nine release: pole 09 >complex ep<.
exium are well known for their techno adventures, spanning over more than ten years. their style is always changing shape, evolving from experimental textures to harsh rhythms and industrial flavoured beats. with this new release they give their style a new twist by making the synths the starring element of >complex<, a melodic techno number, full of harmonies, portamento leads and pulsating beats.
detroits own legendary dj rolando reworks the original version in a more percussive style, but preserving the melodies and leads. a sure floor smasher.

in following up marcellus pittmans killer eastside story, seventh sign waste no time in bringing another red-hot act to the label. a member of the legendary underground resistance / los hermanos / galaxy 2 galaxy crew, santiago salazar has also enjoyed success as a member of the trinity (with mad mike banks and gerald mitchell) and more recently as ican, not to mention his many solo outings. his pedigree is unquestionable, a fact not lost on the many labels that have played host to his music, including submerge, planet e, motech and now seventh sign. santiagos sound is full of soul and warmth and is presented using state of the art production and a rich palette of modern sounds, as this e.p. demonstrates to devastating effect... hot!
