nice price deal !!! aÑa / henning baer / norman nodge / musk.... no one knows exactly how, or why it happened. we can only postulate. perhaps it was rogue hydrogen atoms causing havoc again, or a particularly voracious wave of em radiation hell bent on finding a good time. the point is, (in those days) such lude behavior was simply unacceptable: aÑa had become excited, too much so for the solar stiffs that swirled about her. and that system of hers—always buzzing around, refusing to share anything—it had to go. so both were exiled from that collision patch they called home, leaving aÑa and her system to wander the cosmos. some years passed. aÑa grew a little, but mostly she practiced her basswalk—not this girly swooshy thing with your hips, but a real bolshy bovver boot stomp. after a while she got pretty good at it, she wanted to show her friends. maybe theyd like to basswalk too. well, they couldnt get enough of it—but no one did it quite like aÑa. henning baers had a bit more groove to it and this whole new tweaky hat element. norman nodge kept his pretty punchy, but all that time spent in berghain had turned his basswalk into a bit of a skulk. as for musk, the boys inverted the whole thing of course—turned a disco trick, shifting the march down into more of a slinky house glide. aÑa liked them all so much—and it was time isolated system stopped being such a separatist—she decided to gather them all together to make basswalker part i. now you can basswalk too

with influences ranging from breakcore and jungle to techno and electronica, their sound is just as far-reaching with organic sample-based productions and synthetic, processed electronic beats. lakkers torann ep, their second release for blueprint, kick-starts with the dappling beats of summer rains, before moving onto the more experimental mustard crying. ciar takes us back to the dancefloor with ominous undertones, while static & amp is a simple but effective exercise. finally the diminutive but meticulous one note caps the ep off in fine lakker style.

it has been four long years since glissando released the critically acclaimed >with our arms wide open we march towards the burning sea< and the duo finally return this november with a new record >the world without us<. the new material bares glissandos trademark of ethereal voices and tip-toing piano melodies but the overall sound is richer and more expansive. epic swells of strings and guitars sore above the drones and field recordings to create an intense yet fragile noise. this lp is a highly limited deluxe package of just 300 copies, including code for free mp3 download of the full album.

its to siberian producer unbroken dub we turn for our next ep a man who has released a seriously deep and grainy slew of eps on labels like berlins rawax and is picking up more and more props as a result.

support by noir, sascha braemer, tiger stripes, m.in etc. while its getting colder outside, miyagi sends us beautiful melodies for the autumn. you will bet! but such as love the new rennbahn has got a lot more to offer! weird world is a dreamy & floating deep house track, which will levitate you over the dance floor. warm melodies combined with a heavy bass line make sure to catch the mind of the people. the remix of jaxson & david keno let disappear your thoughts in the straight beat and the floating and hypnotizing bass rhythm! this remix is anything but weird. on the b-side, medusa is waiting for you with deep sounds and a beautiful piano chord in order to take you on a journey through her walk of fame. dont you dare to look at her cause her dreadful sight will turn you into stone. with oliver schories remix you will discover an interplay between deep basses and beautiful highs accompanied by his typical piano sounds which finally come together to one gorgeous climax at the end of the track.

chairlift present takes on several cuts from acclaimed second album >something< by some of their favorite producers, showcasing how their songs can easily be adapted for the club. appropriately titled the 6.15amix, spanish equipo fantástico john talabot and pional turn >i belong in your arms< into a balearica-infused club-closer. a nifty piano line and seductive rhythm take the song on a late night (or rather early morning) trip to the beach, while carolines voice is being warped into something from outer space. photek takes the same track to a whole different place with his powerful jungle interpretation. martyn respects both the pace and rhythm of sidewalk safari, yet exchanges the clean production for a rather more cosmic beat, incorporating many of his signature touches to compliment the sinister >i m gonna hunt you down< lyric. dan careys dub mix of >sidewalk safari< shows a more playful side, while arguably the most intriguing remix of the package is the fields take on >met before<, recalling his early work it is so warped and layered you may struggle to imagine the original minus the smallest of hints.

after their sure-fire succession of great releases dam swindle end up on the excellent freerange imprint. and if you like the words deep along with atmospheric then this will most definitely appeal to you. from the opening title track with its lush, moody nu-groove styled pads and thunderous hand-claps these three productions simply ooze class and intensity in abundance. next is >gotta know< which rewinds back to classic house sounds and injects a sense of melody into the already swinging rhythms and punchy, detroit bass. which is then followed by >brotherman< and yet more in-depth moods, this time accompanied by jazzy, scat styled vocals for added diversity. finally we have wolf music main man krl stepping up to remix brotherman and a rather sterling job he does to. making great use of the vocal krl brings us a slowed down version with his trademark shuffling drums and a dynamic arrangement. piano stabs and a cheeky boogie synth sample all help bring his own sound to the track and round off the package perfectly.

for our third release, we welcome back the collaborative efforts of our three family members mia dora, hahaha & raksha. joining forces once again, they depart from the awkward rhythms and stuttered arrangements of their first joint outing and instead offer up a slab of relentless, dance floor shattering techno.

menacing industrial techno from some backwoods laboratory in a hostile environment. part 2 is slightly more accessible for humans and more experimental than the first part. limited to 200 as usual, handstamped. they sell like frankfurters at a german brothel, so best not sleep. you have a bout a week before the curtain closes.

interstellar ep by label boss deepbass showcases more of informas modern sci-fi sound. two original tracks of hypnotic, atmospheric techno which capture the feeling of travelling through the depths of space. on the first remix we have psyk (non series, mote-evolver) who takes the track to the next level with an intense feel of uplifting tension. our second remix is by nax_acid (aconitio records) who provides a much deeper beautiful remix which takes you even further into the interstellar.

mussurunga - that is the name which is used by the complete body inked cousins sigi aigner and didi bruckmayr for their outstanding performances on club dance-parties, festivals, free-parties and weddings in the home- and foreign-countries since more than two years. at their shows they use deep bass-lines, demanding beats, gentle hooklines and raging 3-d objects. the large sized mr. state-opera-chorister aigner and the dwarfish universal-bush-leaguer dr. bruckmayr also are known for their benedictional work with the performance-group fuckhead, for them they count as finded minds. mussurunga is a frowing suburb of the brazilian provincial capital salvador da bahia, which aigner and bruckmay vistied job related. while one of them waited without success for a date in mussurunga and spent all the spondulix which was meant for the taxi, the other one worked very hard in the regional beach-bars on artistic concepts. the result of this jobshare is, among other things, the present ep.

tribute continue to chart the deeper, funkier and more balearic musical territories with their mighty dj friendly reworks. for the latest edition, cut n paste duties are rumoured to be supplied by none other than keep schtum (the man behind the amazing hang together remake) and he serves up a serious slice of dance floor driven funk. single sided vinyl, no digital and with a heavy, heavy cut!

the whole ep but more particularly the lead track pays homage to a certain venue in vienna called roxy which a good number of us in the liquid d&b heydays of the mid 2000s and onwards were privileged enough to play at. to say thanks for such great times zero t decided a dedication was in order and here we are!huge support so far from the likes of: friction (on bbc radio 1), ant tc1 (on bbc radio 1), dj hype (on kiss fm), dj die (on kiss fm), bailey (on bbc 1xtra), dj marky, lenzman (on ministry of sound radio), octane & dlr, survival, youngsta, rockwell, brian g, total science, von d, foreign concept, vicious circle, stray, craggz & pf, sunchase.

paul müller introduces himself with a record that sports class and mass alike. its mass is easily explained: it sports three superb remixer. what tells better than some good old namedropping ... jori hulkkonen, lauer and matt walsh. these guys and paul müller are the ones responsible for the releases class by delivering great tracks ranging from tech-house to disco - and whatever you may call joris sound.

limited pressing of 150 one-sided copies only!
flug von welt proudly presents the ultimative dancefloorkiller >dump trump< from the well known dj and artist falk bachert (stil vor talent, damm records, flug von welt). falk bachert extenses the musical spectrum of flug von welt with a more overground, mostly popy, but always deep organic tech house style. >dump trump< brings a wonderful trumpetplayer melody back to the dancefloor. amazing! functions well in intimate dj sets, big rooms and open airs. same to the great haske&fusco remix, but this stands for more crazyness and minimalism. hands up!

with his debut ep >swinger<, the multitalent from central germany now wants to conquer the club scene. as dj and event-manager he already has filled the dancefloors. now his songs should do likewise. inspired by the infamous clarinet-grooves of the roaring twenties and biting trombones >swinger< connects the organic sound of hand-played instruments with crunching techno beats.
the album exhausts the composition always a little bit more danceable, thanks to original instrumentation. but it is more than only dj-tools for the turntables. as the six tracks on >swinger< no second run out of ideas, it will effortlessly earn a wider audience.

so what music reaches 006, in six is sex!the melodic a-side havin a beat goes well with the end of the open air season!the matching remix is produced by e-kreisel.the flip-side its driving more to dub! so what music erreicht die 006, in der sechs ist sex!die melodiöse a-seite havin a beat...

limited stock! brand new track from four tet - more deep vibes from mr hebden - initial pressing only comes with hand screen printed art print made by jason evans and tazelaar stevenson.

we wish there were more moments like the ones that madis ones new 12 inch, in the image (blnk-27), brought to mind. >the hotness< is just that, a mechanical, bass driven, hip-hop cut while >the abyss< recalls the days when the amen break and substance reigned over celebrity status. available on 12 inch vinyl, cut at 45 rpm. we recommend trying these out at 33 rpm as well!

kastil takes the a-side with the title track >paraside<, a classic deep house chicago jam that exudes style, while >17th street< has the same deep us flavour but with more drive and purpose. on the flip, mr. cinelli creates a trippy and subtle reinterpretation of >17th street< but still retains the bouncy flavor in a way he only knows how to do it. watch out for those snares.

continuing in a strong and revitalised form that has seen widespread recognition for releases from synkro, troy gunner, szare and stickman, mindset records return with a debut 12 inch for longtime friend of the label, elsewhere. hailing from the same rural locale as sometime production partner stickman, elsewheres infinitely technical productions bear the hallmarks of a studio obsessive, with production values of a higher level helping to deliver three tracks of a unique quality. with productions informed partly by seminal trips to london to stand in front of dmz soundsytems, elsewhere reworks the dystopian dread and power of that sound into something entirely new, with lead track trippin already finding its way into the record bags of akkord, lone, troy gunner and more. bott bott displays intense dynamics with a smartly deployed vocal and a ruthless subbass underpinning a ferocious uk funky influenced drumtrack whilst the espers comes with alternating slices of rude ukg swagger and some subtle atmospheric work.

jolly mayhem, this one is sure to rock the floor & is already getting major support from some serious heads! the flipside is a more mid tempo house affair but is equally as devastating. richard from milwaukee takes on better off, a stomping disco groove which escalates into full-on crowd control.its all about the classics here, with richards trademark chunky percussions & synths galore. did we mention the bassline? kick back to this one. dj kaos jolly jams imprint delivers again!

pascal pinkert aka dollkraut is a unique specimen in todays world of clean and sterile music production. the dutch producer is best described as an analogue sound wizard with a golden touch for pop moments. his music often sounds like a past that was more beautiful, more broken and more glimmering than it actually was. dollkraut dares to sound like no one else, cinematic and glamorous, rough and haunting. his tracks are driven by a deep love for old lo-fi fuelled recordings,70s space age synths and john barry or ennio morricone fuzziness galore.

cologne based artist marquese back on niveous records. from a to b and back again - just try it! early support from raresh, sebo k, einzelkind and many more

initially focused on its mission to spread left-field dance music from south america, with early appearances of the likes of luciano and pier bucci, the swiss-chilean label is now ready to conquer the whole wide world. under the command of the imprints ever-energetic epicenter dandy jack aka captain deutschland, ruta 5 pepino airways flight n° 5 takes off to a truly compass-defying journey.

it hass been eight years since michael mayer released his debut album >touch<, but one certainly couldnt consider him lazy, what with a tightly packed schedule of dj gigs and umpteen remixes. all the more reason that kompakt is pleased to announce the sophomore album mantasy, a long-awaited, indispensable update of michael mayers production sound and an essential release for the label in 2012.
pressing on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl, includes cd-copy of the album.

4 tracks, taken from the cd album! in >shortcake strategy<, fairytale-like melodies are backed with thought provoking harmonies that pave the way for an explicitly visual experience. we have been introduced to a new face of the berlin-based producer. shortcake is a simple recipe. it doesnt take a lot of planning or much thought or attention when preparing it, and in the end, it will be light, fluffy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying. falko might say the same about his approach to the creation of >shortcake strategy<, yet the end product sees his most dynamic and emotional productions to date, leaving us with the feeling that this comes from a strategy that requires far more thought, and is far more complicated than that of a sugary dessert.

>a correction< is the new album from fieldhead and continues the dusty, bereft sounds of previous releases – they shook hands for hours (home assembly 2009) and riser (gizeh 2010). 2010 saw paul elam depart the uk for vancouver, canada and there is no doubt that the vast northern candian landscapes have influenced the new fieldhead material. the familiar tape hiss, scratchy, decaying atmospheres remain in place but with a correction elam has managed to sculpt a vaster, more expansive palate of sounds. minimalistic on first listen, a correction is a record which slowly unfurls on multiple listens to reveal subtle melodies and details that dont distract from the overal ambience but in fact set apart fieldheads music from many other, safer artists within the genre.
limited edition 180 gram vinyl, includes code for free mp3 download of the full album.

bursting for curiosity? take a listen! >burst!< - new, stunning peaches ep out on bnr!

the ep has already gained huge support by james johnston, tomorrow is now kid, kid mark, oli furness, scottie deep, jamie trench, lucas rawculture, sem marini, kool vibe, jeremy underground, tunde adams caspa, bryan agent pepper, skylax records, washerman & more!

hailing from ireland, shane linehan is committed to showcasing the finest that new jersey-styled house music has to offer. having impressed with his release for local talk, he returns to his own basic grooves imprint to get the good times rolling with aplomb. >ilinx< wears its heart on its sleeve with a crisp beat that makes all the right moves, while a slick organ chord line takes centre stage in an upbeat revelry written for the start of the weekend. >so now you know< on the flip is a more contemplative affair, although no less steeped in bumping house culture. the keys are played in a more downbeat refrain and the beats a little more restrained, but this is still very much a dancefloor burner

eddie flashin fowlkes has always fancied himself as the forgotten producer of the detroit militia, a point which he explicitly points to on the title of this new release for the detroit wax imprint. >unsung hero< is, interestingly enough, quite noticeably un-detroit sounding, rolling on a killer funky 2-step groove and breezy keys which would slot in nicely against the mellower end of uk garage. on the flip >we need more< takes a stripped approach to house with some strange and submerged vocals from don q and restrained organ stabs, leaving it to the steadfast, bongo-laden groove to do most of the work. unsung hero indeed!

after the first release on vinyl, resiliens recordings presents an ep that makes us want to know exactly what the label is aiming for and where it is coming from. ken karter (kript records) shows three masterpieces of electronic music combined with the more primitive techno. we are talking about the future!

remake musique vol. 13 with more slamming deep house / chicago house groover

manmakemusics fifth release, a 10 inch vinyl-only ep, comes from u, the newest addition to the imprints expanding roster. unlike the labels first four outings that were aimed squarely at the dance floor, this record is a stranger and more pensive affair featuring 4 raw cuts of genre defiant electronica. opener >eah< borrows from 80s chicago house but strips out some of the more familiar tropes leaving just a guttural and infectious rhythm. >evil spirits< is a stuttering mournful piece while >haunted< flips a faintly recognisable sample over a shuffling 4x4 beat. the ep is rounded off with >heaven<, the most optimistic of the 4 tracks, and described by the artist as a warped homage to an idealised golden era of british dance music.

curle is back in full force this fall with new stuff from lucy, jonas kopp, albert van abbe and more to be announced soon. and frank martiniq of course

2014 repress !! we think we do not have to introduce sven weisemann, but for all of you who are not familiar with his work... sven has released on top labels such as delsin, smallfish, echocord, liebe detail and maybe the label he is mostly associated with is mojuba records, which is based in berlin. his release for telrae starts with elapse a track so detached from everything and at the same time so earthly, it gains that mystic touch some trax radiate. it is again a timeless track on telrae what we think is a quality we strive for. light sway seems harder at first but turns out to be more melodic and light than elapse and so the title fits it just right!

nice second release on the ton liebt klang sublabel called vogelfrei. this is really a festival- and clubbomb by the labelhead dembowski and clark davis (turnbeutel, subotnik). remixes are made by oliver schories (turnbeutel, ostwind), rich vom dorf (ton liebt klang, acker, rennbahn) and klangkuenstler (kallias, zuckerton, ostfunk).
early support by richie hawtin, hanne & lore, beatamines, bebetta, andy kohlmann, compact grey, arts & leni, miyagi, illboyphil, carlo rütz and many more.

marvin & guy return to lets get lost with 2 superb reworkings. first up they visit arthur russell in a dusty acoustic space jam, while on the flip they enter more discofied proto house territory with bubbling acid tweeks, beckoning vocals and piano magic. closer to all your dreams.

keeping with tradition, the second italojohnson release of 2012 once again presents itself in the likeliness of a 12inch wax with three tracks. the one-track mind repeats the same funk-nationalistic character of italojohnson and once more shows its simplicity. this tune comes to its rite where it is loud and dirty but even headz sitting at home will be able to feel the sun rise. boom shakalaka. the double-track side has some surprises in store for its listeners. for those in the know, the first track is also known as >bootytrack<. this track always pushes the low end to the limit and under the right circumstances guarantees some hip swing. number two may sound familiar, but even if you dont know its rootz, youll still be down with each other

adepth audios 8th release is a collaboration between detroits sean deason and dutchman rob belleville. needing little introduction, sean is the owner of respected detroit label matrix records, and the mastermind behind much acclaimed electronic music. robs reputation for relaxing and understated techno is growing with each of his releases. the track >halogen< is a stomper reminiscent of seans classic matrix releases. robs remix has a more electronic feel with wonderful breaks. where you belong is hypnotic music that evolves and lingers. seans interpretation of this track is a mover with all the detroit goodness youd expect. a future classic.

piemont back on plumbum! incl remixes by beatamines & martinez. played by richie hawtin, mihai popoviciu, dubfire, adam beyer, mauro picotto, super flu, davide squillace, anja schneider, sascha braemer, paco osuna and many more

following his successful dj mixes ambivalent returns with more studio material on minus.

bristol-based behling & simpson come correct for apple pips with two slices of cavern-deep, slo-mo tripped out bass-led housey doings… these chaps have been making waves in the last year or so with their mixture of bass music, deep house, boogie and discoid with a characteristic bristol edge of not caring for the rules. with killer releases on bristol house dons futureboogies own label and a stonking re-edit of faith evans getting plays from peeps like modeselektor, derrick carter, untold, mosca, jackmaster and many more they continue to forge out their own groovy path through the bass scenes myriad styles… >where the ohs< glides along on a rolling, endlessly chugging beat, with glacial synth sweeps, dubbed out finger clicks, treated vox and sub bass stabs slowing cutting through the mix…perfect slo mo house styles for fans of prins thomas, todd terje, mark e, andrew weatherall etc

hinter dem namen superheavy verbergen sich fünf superschwergewichte der musikwelt: mick jagger hat sich mit eurythmics-mastermind dave stewart, der britischen soul-senkrechtstarterin joss stone, dem indischen oscar-gewinner und soundtrack-komponisten a.r. rahman (slumdog millionaire) und mit reggae-superstar damian marley zusammengetan und so ein neues bandprojekt auf die beine gestellt.
