one of kompakt s most mythical entities, superpitcher has always followed a thoughtful and rarified release policy, rather honing a record until it s perfect (and risking longer periods of time in between outings) than rushing it out, its a release rhythm that suits his idiosyncratic approach to dance music, not so much churning out floor fodder than creating timeless classics on his own terms. as one of our longest-serving artists, he has still managed to build an impressive portfolio, especially if you consider the ratio of iconic tracks per release. it s no wonder, then, that at any given time, a big part of his back catalogue seems to be sold out. five years after the highly acclaimed, award-winning full-length kilimanjaro (kompakt 222 cd 80), it is time to revisit superpitcher s unique body of work with so far so super, an enticing selection of some of his most cherished cuts - acting as our 2016 vinyl offering for this year s record store day, it collects highlights from all stages of his career, the underground club bangers as well as the conceptual album work. from opener jackson (as featured on pop ambient 2012) and early successes like heroin, baby s on fire (from total 4) or total confusion/speicher anthem i walk to signature tracks like happiness or rabbits in a hurry, you ll find lots of magical moments to unearth or rediscover - all in one jam-packed, gorgeously wrapped vinyl release that no serious fan of electronic dance music should miss out on.

soma’s italian connection, roberto clementi, makes a welcome return opening his 2016 account with the solid, “wall of people”. including a top notch remix form ilian tape label heads, marco & dario zenker. robert has slowly been building his credentials in the techno world with some fine releases and this driving number is another to add to increasing discography with soma.
the zenker brothers remix opens the ep as the munich based duo lend their deep and highly refined production talents to “wall of people”. ruptured beats play havoc with a shimmering high end and rattling percussive elements all tied in with a pulsing, modulating synth hook that keep the track feeling fairly dark. clementi’s original shows a much harder edge to his previous work with big, sub heavy beats worked around a more pumped up rhythm and tearing synth line

in seiner glanzvollen karriere remixte er bereits lcd soundsystem, depeche mode, coldcut, the xx, moby und viele andere. mit seinem label turbo verhalf er neuen künstlern wie duke dumont, chromeo, gesaffelstein oder boyz noize zum durchbruch. außerdem arbeitete er regelmäßig mit koryphäen wie james murphy und pusha t zusammen. auf no fantasy required erhält er nun verstärkung von hudson mohawke und jake shears von den scissor sisters. mit no fantasy required hat tiga in zusammenarbeit mit erfolgsproduzent matthew dear und dem finnischen genie jori hulkkonen (der auch live mit ihm performt) eine platte geschaffen, auf der er sich ehrlicher, offener und verspielter fühlt, wie er sagt. es hat immer eine sehr fruchtbare kreative spannung im herzen von tigas musik gegeben: auf der einen seite ist er der underground techno don, auf der anderen seite wohnt ihm eine pop-sensibilität inne, die es ihm ermöglicht herausragende songs zu schreiben. es ist diese dualität, die ihn zu einem der fesselndsten charaktere der elektronischen musik macht.

h-productions proudly presents >green light< by cari lekebusch. this is the fourth release in the full color spectrum serie, that is aiming to result in 9 different colored vinyl 12inch. both tracks are maintaining a stripped down policy, solid sound pictures and simple arrangements - with no unnecessary elements, breaks or changes. thus giving the dj more freedom to play around during the blending. and the sound pictures have intentionally been tuned while having the various h-productions releases in mind, that came out around 1993-1997. since the beginning of the 1990s, caris brainchild label platform h-productions has been changing and re-inventing itself numerous times. and at this moment it takes the shape of 3 different catalog numbers running at the same time. the hyb releases will be exclusive vinyl releases only, and the hpx numbers will be digital only. as a cherry ontop we have the special hybrid catalog that will only be found in our bandcamp online shop. -with warm regards from stockholm-

cray76, joakim’s dance project, is back with a 2-track ep.
on the a-side, this is what we would call a banger here at crowdspacer. simple, stupid, raw, funky. is it a tribute to new york? not sure but the b side certainly is. to be more precise it’s a tribute to merce cunningham, the legendary choreographer, close collaborator of john cage and genius thinker who inspired the name of the label. based on a recorded lecture by merce, the eponymous track is a slow, hypnotic and organic house groove, an ode to movement and ny avant garde, because “...dancing is a visible action of life.”

marc romboy is back on tronic, and we have two remixes of his classic the overture. for remix duties we enlisted techno originator and legend joey beltram, as well as frances deep house genius rodriguez jr. the outcome is as expected. mr beltram changes the original to a peak time slice of moody techno, whereas rodriguez jr. goes the more melodic route using a beautiful arpeggio. we are very happy with this release and hope you will be as well! dj support: adam beyer christian smith james zabiela sasha edu imbernon technasia noir joel mull nicole moudaber pig & dan (igor) danny tenaglia thomas schumacher (get physical / noir / snatch!) dosem filterheadz hernan cattaneo

danism makes their debut on noir music with the emotional reciprocated love featuring the vocals of legend arnold jarvis. we fell in love with this stringled and super smooth song from 1st listen at the nm offices. deephouse like it sounded back in the day and in general just a timeless effort by the cambridge based guys. deetron, deux tigres and city soul project deliver the remixes and all of them are spot on quality with a more clubby edge. so instead of keep hyping this brilliant release. let the music do the talking.

stamp records delve into the past for their next release, giving a new lease of life to one of swayzak s least characteristic and most sought-after tracks. swayzak are true heroes of the uk underground, having clocked numerous seminal releases in the late 90 s and early 00 s straddling the grey area between house and techno. disco dub plate volume 2 - originally out in 2000 - was an obvious anomaly in the duo s discography, that has managed to forge a path of its own amongst a completely different crowd to swayzak s usual disciples. one cut from that ep, stronger love , is a carefully arranged marriage between a certain pair of quintessential aor darlings and the soul voice of the 80 s. can we be more specific? no can do...it shouldn t really work, but somehow it does! it s been caned by many a balearic dj over the years, including mark seven who included it in his mythical originals compilation, where it holds its ground amongst other balearic heavyweights. as an added bonus for this 2016 edition we re treated to two brand new mixes ! frank agrario teases in bits of the original making for his chunkier version that is aimed squarely at the dancefloor, while brun (1/2 of swayzak) delivers a bang up-to-date dub that keeps its elements to the bare minimum, building into a deep hypnotic house chugger.

ghosts/spirits is the result of many exorcism sessions, most of them performed unknowingly. the tracks are numbered based on their order of collection. ghosts are generally subtle and linger around more than spirits, which are said to go straight to your mind’s heart. whether you long for a naked dance in the forest, or a subaquatic journey through mermaids and sunken ships, you are welcome to indulge in our musical exorcism, in the name of the tribal forces which brought us rhythm, and the spiritual forces which brought us together. ah,… man

a1 nubian mindz - deep in raves: well known for his versatile and rich production, colin delivers once more. with a quite suitable name - deep in raves is just that. a deep plunge into dark and rave-like atmosphere. after a short intro layered with an ominous voice, massive bassline takes over and drives the track through the darkest curves. enriched with short percussions and a synth stab this is quite a stomper best experienced on a good club soundsystem, preferably in the dark. a2 volster - nebula: almost obsessed with audio purity, volster manages to combine new and modern sounds with old-school genre roots. nebula is all about complexity. although it is based on an electro foundations, it s so much more. space filled with an oscillatory synth motion perplexed with smooth pads that gives the impression of an interstellar properties. no detail is left unengaged, from the 808 that keeps everything in motion to the subtle amount of panning. this is a beautifully crafted story by a producer who is slowly but steadily growing into one of the best croatian artists. b1 lucretio - dracula: the most famed beard of cadoneghe/italy has pulled another magic gem from his music source. widely known for his relentless tendency to push the analogue spectrum to it s extreme, lucretio surprises once more with his ability to blend simple pieces into an effective sub storm with almost comic like features. dracula is not your conventional tune and it s pretty obvious why as soon as you put the needle on. broke down rhythm is heavily fueled by polished but enormous sub background with sparse and ¥in your face¥ shots. seemingly random notes take a gloomy and powerful form during the break and soon the lurky atmosphere comes into picture. this is truly brilliance in it s full simplicity. if only bram stoker could hear this, he would probably be both stunned and amused! b2 james booth - jxst do it: one of our goals on vakum is to be on a lookout for a new and promising talents. berlin based james booth surely fits the bill. jxst do it is a seriously crafted track with rich rhythmic section wrapped in a steady build up. after the initial break-beat intro sliced in short chunks, subtle 303 bassline takes over and the rhythmic game begins. booth delivers a perfectly timed cuts accompanied by a diverse palette of percussions. this is a perfect piece for those build up moments in the club..

stefan ringer aka rekchampa says he makes music that’s danceable, intelligent, and soulful, and we couldn’t agree more. this 4 track ep of soulful house from the star of atlanta’s underground scene has everything for the discerning dj (bangers bounce #3 and can’t stop) and the home listener (heady deep cuts feeling it and the come down) alike. the release coincides with 2mr’s first in a series of semi-regular parties at black flamingo on the 27th, with ringer, mike simonetti and justin strauss.

during their european tour earlier this year, canadian duo jokers of the scene stopped over for a couple of days at club bizarre studio in northern france. the two pair of producers locked up and came up with betaville and breakwater, two killer lo-fi and spaced out tracks. betaville is a fuzzy dream that will make you dance in slow motion with your head in the clouds. boasting a strong melodic and nostalgic feel, it unfolds its warm analog synth pads, old school sequences and drum machine to psychedelic effect. imagine boards of canada wanting to make you dance. even slower is breakwater, a dirtier, chunkier track that ditches the softness of betaville in favour of a more in your face bass line and all together rougher attitude. it chugs along to old fashioned beat box claps and percussion and quirky synth melodies. lastly betaville gets the timothy j fairplay treatment of being violently pulled apart and chucked in all corners. reminiscent of early chemical brothers music, a heavy beat slaps over agressive drugged up analog sound effects while a repetitive, haunting melody screams on top and reverberated vocals whisper in your ears. scary.

with the telepathy ep, new talent dalvik debuts on vinyl with four high-quality, classic underground house tracks. -real- starts off as a deep, prescription underground inspired track, yet with plenty of fresh new ideas and a voice sampling to be recognized. -after glow- is a slower hypnotic synth journey perfect for the early morning dj set or to chill to the day after. the b-side starts off with a peak hour house slammer, serving as a nice complement to the deeper a side. the final track is a more leftfield, experimental journey, with vocal snippets and trippy synths. the under the radar label romb records delivers another dj favorite!

following his uplifting 2015 single holdin on and its techy b-side faces, rony seikaly is back for another release on yoshitoshi that proves this renaissance man is a force to be reckoned with in modern house music. the two tracks on this ep possess deep grooves, but also flex a fair amount of melodic muscle. they liken back to the sound yoshitoshi became well known for in its infancy. the sword centers around some tribal percussion and carefully woven melodic ideas, but the track?s focus is decidedly on low end. a burly, assertive bass gives the mix a driving character suited for late nights. at time it feels like a modern take on progressive house from another era. all of a sudden is more or less an extension of the first track, giving the ep defined consistency. it s a delicately arranged and straightforward house feeler, the meat coming from a multitude of interlaced chords and melodies maneuvering carefully over more tribal percussion and a monstrous kick. the mission here is to inspire awe and wonder in dancers, and seikaly delivers on both accounts.

ever evolving dutchman a made up sound is back with a new ep on delsin a whole six years after his last. here he proves once more why he is so vital across four cuts of heavyweight technosoul. thin air pairs fast-paced 4/4 beats with stormy layered pads, all coalescing into affectional yet powerful techno grooves. in typical amus fashion, with its swung drums, sampled chordlines and flanged percussion it s simply hard to categorize but easy to love.

it s time for the big cat and his party groovers! in this fifth volume coyu shows us one of his multiple faces as a producer. the ep contains sex is drama, powerful house music with heavy beats and an outstanding vocal leading the track, and who s wearing the trousers, a track with touches of uk garage, acid house and a big 90s feeling. this kind of appearances of the label boss on suara are not very usual so enjoy this couple of bombs, you won t regret! big support from: mark knight, paco osuna, nicole moudaber, carlo lio, prok & fitch, huxley, tube & berger and many more!

after cutting his teeth supporting berlin s keinemusik crew, fabian braunbeck branches off with his own original ep. moody & beautiful, its lush textures clearly show an artist who has paid attention while working with some of the industry s best, yet has a voice all his own, not to mention he s picked up a few tricks on the way. the ep s title track needs absolutely no introduction, just press play. we welcomed back our good friend ruede hagelstein to remix the a side and as the partyers at panorama bar would agree now for weeks on end it works!. the b-side is a much more percussive and moody affair, getting a remix from fellow berliner filburt who puts his own mark on the originals cornerstones.

the btrax records label is back after few years off, and we are sure that new ep will not disappointed you. we are very proud to put out 1 stunning track made by one of the label artist : camille rodriguez from paris - france. electronic music drives his life for over 10 years now, he has developed his own style incorporating all his influences. he is passionate about the live, and create that way with synthesizers, sequencers, bar and samplers... he likes pushing himself sweating behind his machines, improvising at every moment, keeping control of every sound in order to play more intuitively, getting a better communication with the crowd... “andalusian 2.0” comes in two guises, the original mix which delivers some perfect techno keys and claps over its stomping techno beat, giving it live performance style flavor. the traumer remix takes it into darker warehouse territory but still retains the warmth and groove. kaine’s remix delivering some tough dub techno workouts that still have just the right amount of funk and groove.

on the back of an acclaimed lp on his own umhs label, freerotation resident leif takes his woozy grooves and lush atmospherics for a trackier spin on galdoors. macro beat s-broken latin groove propels the a1 through layers of bubbling dub synths and twinkling atmospherics. moment beat shares the first track s club focus, but this time chimes unfurl over a low-slung groove that leaves things perfectly poised for a change in direction. on the b, tumbler-picks up the pace once more with highs and arpeggios that pulse and slide around each other restlessly, before untitled wraps up with a beatless and beautiful flourish.

limited to 100 copies, chas burns has been producing house music since 96, originally with engineer simon vinyl junkie, and later andrew macari (filter flow). as well as producing under flow he also co-owns low pressings (with hernan cerbello), beat code, boxa records and more devotion (with ben racz). -put my shit on wax- first appeared on the shelves of record stores in 2004. it s release was boxa records (which is still going today) second release. the original press was of 600 and was out of stock very quickly. now you ll need to pay l50 for it on discogs, unless you snap up this highly limited repress (100 copies only - be quick!).

the latest release from the swiss duo larytta, entitled jura libre, is a chunky, massive, intelligent, colorful (in that full on tropical way) four-song collection of club bangers. to be exact the full set actually consists of two original songs with an in-house larytta remix a piece. the originals lean on pronounced inflections of playful, tricky, afro-tropical rhythms, while the reworks go for a more direct four-to-the-floor approach straight for the jugular. apart from the vibrant, tight production what unifies all of these tracks is a head nod towards that nineties club sound, especially that golden age acid rave material. this is music made not only by great producers, but heads that really know and love clubbing culture and history and know how to tastefully reference the past. the ep closes with bota mao pra encima which features brazilian emcee junior, and thats the point at which you start to question if this ep was truly cut in switzerland.

lth is back on track with brooklyn cuts as the first release in 2016... the label is proud to introduce noha and tomas station to the catalogue... of course you can expect more quality music coming from these guys.

arapus ever evolving producer skills are once again showcased on his own label, now on its second release. like a meticulous fractal designer, arapu fills the space between the fast paced beats with simple sound structures, interconnected at a subconscious level. to fully understand the beauty of it you have to follow the techy tribal accents from hazard, the 80s’ electronica theme hidden into so doo or no more space’s dark sci-fi soundtrack bassline that would surely put a lot of pressure on the undergrounds soundsystems. liniar 002s sound is definately crafted for those dancefloor moments when the visceral bassline makes way for strobes scattered into the thick atmosphere

concepts and ideas come fast and furious to berlin trio brandt brauer frick. having turned heads from the groups inception with their classically-informed approach to creating techno compositions with acoustic instruments, bbfs output has been characterized by a restless creativity. the search for new sonic territory lead the group to record with a full 13-piece orchestra, and later to strip down their sound to sparse arrangements featuring more electronic textures, and to record an aggressively diverse dj-kicks mix on a legendary club sound system using only vinyl dubplates

with this new release best works records presents a new multi-talented dj and producer from georgia, gacha bakradze. this 4 track ep is not the typical club record but a mind stimulating piece of music. it opens with drift, a track where rhythm and beats are melting down in a pot full of warm flowing sound- scapes, then goes into more hypnotic lead sounds with the second track golshifteh. on the b-side youll find a techno infused remix from berghains resident norman nodge, elevating the original track drift to a real dancefloor bliss. the last track tiresome walk takes us on a sweet journey through playful melodies and laid-back rythmics, he delivers a majestic slow burn, crafting something that would serve well both as a stirring set opener or an emotional end.

ostgut ton reissues acht of zehn with original tracks by din (aka efdemin and marcel fengler), fiedel and tobias. 2015 marked ostgut tons ten-year anniversary, celebrated with an extensive 30 track compilation release, titled ostgut ton | zehn, spread out over ten 12inch vinyl records housed inside a limited box set. this sampler sold out in no time, which is why ostgut ton is re-issuing these ten 12inches individually in 2016. bubbling synths, a stoic bassdrum, some live hi-hat percussion and synth pads full of bliss – what started as marcel fengler’s and efdemins inaugural collaboration as din for 2013s masse ballet sees its continuation in form of mono on a1. on a2 fiedel contrasts the opening tracks cool sounds with an upbeat contribution: probe-806 gently brushes funk, electro, acid and even boogie territory atop the general muscular rhythm. analogue synth aficionados are being served by tobias.: like a drug is a minimalist techno track with maximalist dancefloor effect through its use of haunting, distanced vocal fragments, discomforting alarm tones and crackling background textures. as with every good drug, you dont necessarily want more of it, but rather a longer duration of effect (in this tracks case: 8:36 minutes).
