opening cut acido setting the tone perfectly via murky broken rhythms and glitched out bass hits before the latter stages introduce a squelching 303 lead which tails out the rest of the record.what follows and takes a more robust approach rhythmically with a weighty kick drum, shuffling congas and choppy hats lying at the forefront while spiralling bass hits and vocal chops meander around them. opening the flip is nasty(or nylo if there is no way to fix name) which draws on an earth shattering sub bass lead, sparse percussive shots and a subtly bubbling synth stabs.lastly the package is closed with nylo(or koi if there is no way to fix name), an intricately programmed energy fuelled workout featuring reversed bass swells, jazz tinged rhodes melodies and crunchy distorted drums.

dave the drummer and marcello perri get together once again with 2 tracks of techno goodness.
in safe hands: this is a hard bass-driven industrial kick-drum groove which meets some carefully placed vocal loops and a piercing high synth shot which gives the track a distinct warehouse party vibe. this track is going to detonate those dance floors!
acid future: this is the first time a squelchy acid line has ever featured on a hydraulix release. a tough rumbling reverberated drumbeat, firing on all cylinders with a squelchy 303 sat on top. it’s even got a voice and some reversed bits of 303! what more could you ask for?

being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, the orb are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over. it s especially jarring as the duo of accomplished soundsmiths alex paterson and thomas fehlmann has become known for its genre-bending curiosity and surprising sonic detours, exploring experimental soundscapes as well as club-friendly beats. the funny thing is, though, that whatever the context, you know a track from the orb when you hear it. case in point: cow / chill out, world!, their latest full-length offering - a masterful ambient album that branches out in many directions, but unmistakably sounds like the orb in either ear (and probably to your third ear, too).

parachute is proud and excited to release art rock unit starfuckers legendary sinistri lp, remastered and pressed on vinyl for the very first time since its original version in 1994 on underground records. formed in 1987, starfuckers is an italian avant-garde band primarily from the 1990s, considered a notable part of the experimental rock scene and one of the more out there acts during their active tenure. originally inspired by 80s post-stooges noise and new york city no wave, starfuckers eventually carved their path to their own distinctive sound by following in the footsteps of xenakis, john cage, maderna and stockhausen — all without ever abandoning their own attitude and raw personality. an incredibly important record for us here at the label, sinistri feels just as fresh in 2016 as it did in 1994.

yoruba records is proud to present this new album by label veterans nomumbah. hailing from sao paulo, this three piece consists of andré torquato, ale reis and rafael moraes. with this release, nomumbah show a great deal of maturity, a mark often only surpassed with the release of a sophomore album. the track ‘words’ will strike a familiar chord with listeners, its clever use of maya angelou’s reading of her timeless ‘still i rise’ fits perfectly over the top of a deep bass and bongo driven groove. ‘meinhaus’ is another beautifully crafted track, one that seemingly pays tribute to chicago’s earliest fathers of deep house while still keeping a certain swing that will set it apart on dance floors today. ‘precious’, a definite future favourite, features a cutting lead synth that adds warmth to the track and is accompanied by crystal clear hi-hat bursts and a simple, yet captivating, vocal. this album’s title track, ‘amanha’, edges on tech house with stripped down percussion, a simple rolling bass line and a pulsing lead synth, perfect for setting a more chilled-out vibe. a deep and at times techy release, djs will find all 10 tracks well suited for the late night into early morning hours. featuring rhythmic, chunky bass lines, ambient keys and radiant backing vocals this soon-to-be yoruba classic is a must have for your kit bag in 2016

after “theory of strings (part1)” ennio colaci and fabio della torre present the second part! the first track of a-side is the one who gives the title to the whole project, - theory of strings-, a dubby groover with a funky and psychedelic feel in the vein of a more coloured and dirtier studio 1 or soundhack. the -feeling good vibe- keeps going relaxed and chill with the smart up and down mood of the track -forty degrees- while on b side minimono get drier, minimalistic and more mysterious with the subtle after-hour jam of rewind. this strong effort by fabio and ennio ends trough the cinematic atmosphere and the romantic piano notes of the gentle but raw closing act -still mine-. mind the strings!

here is a new member to the et family: utroid. behind this project goes the producer who was once known as funxiun and bs-1. the biggest difference between utroid and the former projects is that the music is less hectic as before. with utroid the music moves into a more minimal direction while keeping the raw beats and rough vibe. you could call this new beat 2.0 or acid beat…. what you get are dancefloor orientated tracks that range from rather distorted to trippy and spacey…
limited to 150 copies.

the second release on the vinyl only series of apes go bananas finally drops. the label is the new imprint from steve bug and clé, who together make up the production team for the releases. as with the well-received first ep, all we have is straight-up, no-nonsense, dance floor-filling house tracks. lead cut ‘all we have settles right into the groove with crisp and funky percussion, chi-town chords and amazing vocal samples. its got peak time written all over it. she cargo makes its influences pretty clear via the title, and the track certainly references some of the iconic sounds of the home of house. thick, rubbery bass lines, squiggly synths and firing percussion combine to deliver a suitable a homage to the windy city. ‘ape parade is built from some similar materials, but the chords are a little more lush and deep - synth strings and keys add a sense of the epic, and everything is tied together with a sick kick / snare / hat pattern. three modern killers for the floor, infused with the spirit of classic house.

the ninth installment on house is ok comes from homeboy who brings four fresh joints to the table. after making the move to berlin earlier this year, this mediterranean goodboy brings some newly acquired production techniques with his latest record. live drum sampling, loose synth riffs and other more personal notes can be heard across the entire release. for decisions ricochet, homeboy teamed up with the croatian blues man bebe na vole who takes this record into unexplored territories for the label. these four tracks werent necessarily designed to move bodies on the dance floor, but more likely mirror his inspiration from the past 12 months and show his abilities to simply write great music. its house not house, post-disco, jazz, and acid synth hippie music all at the same time. the heart is where homeboy is will hit stores in late september both as a 12? vinyl ep

romanian specialist and techno creator ceparu already released on resopal. his follow up 12“ -mahajala- contains three unique tracks. mahajala is an urgent and techno-leaning, with paranoid, siren-like vocal snippets and scurrying basslines track. datol para is a brooding and slow burning tune with a synth line that goes from rubbery to minimal. around it, patient percussion, deep, warm kicks, and it goes and goes and goes. pamara lana features even more deepness but with ceparus trademark colorful synth freakiness.

sweet addiction is yuksek’s great studio comeback. its 5 elegant tracks signal his return as a main player. the maxi, which prefigures a 3rd album, features the greek singer monika (make it easy) and the duo her (on the1st single, sweet addiction). yuksek’s characteristic sound, midway between post-disco, house and pop, shines through on its various tracks. even more than on his last album, living on the edge of time, yuksek shows his talent as a singer. his new melodies are sunnier than before, his beats and production more subtle. airy, but still conveying a touch of hedonism in its most club-friendly sounds, this ep is a foretaste of a sparkling new opus. bio : at the start of the 2000s, yuksek released a series of maxis and then two albums: away from the sea (2009) and living on the edge of time (2011).those records laid the foundations of a sound that uncompromisingly combined pop, disco and electro. then in 2013, he set up his own label: partyfine. it is now home to artists such as clarens, weekend affair, get a room!, jean tonique, juveniles,tepr and villa.

did you survive the power noise onslaught of martyr of sores? this will drag you out of your hiding with a seemingly friendlier tone, lulling you into a moist rohypnol lazed daze.
she said is a split ep between two artists and two labels. released on sweden’s new prim of harshness - sores records teamed up with the legendary malmö record store/label rundgång rekords.
this is sores release number 2. here lies the rabbit skinner combing his body for sores.

yes, we re back at it again with more eddie amador. after the success of house music and rise, we decided to diversify and go for a double a sided remix package with two distinctly different remixers. so please welcome ardalan and cj jeff to the yoshitoshi family! given ardalans propensity for booty basslines and infectious grooves, psycho x girlfriend seemed like the appropriate choice for the dirtybird affiliate. he flipped the tracked on its head by pumping it full of sub 100 hz frequencies, mental sound effects, and even a pinch of acid. the remix again shows this young gun s talent for creating bona fide bangers that keep the spirit of house alive. greek house don cj jeff took on 6am, the groovy and oft-overlooked 2006 wee hours anthem from amador. his remix bears a massive 808 kick that floors the mix (no pun intended) into overdrive. his simple, catchy melodies capture the classic yoshitoshi vibe beautifully.

lit level is back with their second release. 4 new artists and 4 new tracks, ranging from ghetto rough vibes, to soulful moods and more.

frank & tony aka artists formerly known as adultnapper and anthony collins, respectively, are it again on the former s new york based scissor & thread imprint. first up -apprentice- is a well-crafted deep house cut with swirling, captivating pads that build to a climax. lamento with its sexy bassline, playing off the thumping drum programming and yet more swirling pads that they ve proven to do so well. lastly modest season is the sort of smoky, dubby, after hours house that swiss producer agnes was known for similarly, back in the day.

chicago legend anthony nicholson is back with a new release on his hugely influential clairaudience imprint which sprung back into action a couple of years ago after an eight year hiatus. on -suckapunch-, the man behind such seminal music as usg and african blues delivers properly soulful and emotive deep house the way it was intended. on the flip, -turn me on- is more uplifting, integrating some syncopated conga drums and powerful strings with hypnotic female vocals loops all working in perfect harmony.

soukas mix by dj sotofett might be a snake charmers terrain in clubland, with stomping percussions and that fairytail flute crossing over more than half of the tracks 11 min. running time. vera dvale s debut track fills out the b-side with a spectacularly heavy drone that transforms from sub-driven landscape to melodic noise and back again. both sides with essential 12inch club sound.

spain s slow town rarely fails to deliver the goods. split, so called because it contains tracks from numerous artists, more than lives up to the label s rising reputation. it probably helps that the a-side comes from former bent man and longtime east midlands deep house stalwart nail. his -shake back- explores similar sonic territory to pepe bradock s -deep burnt-, whilst retaining the chunky, bass-heavy bottom-end recognizable from his releases for classic, shabby doll and robsoul recordings. on the flip, there s an equally assured cut from london stalwarts jonno & tommo. -wolf spirit- is an altogether more tech-tinged affair, built around a restless electronic bassline, hypnotic percussion and woozy, late night chords.

this mini-album marks a shift in emphasis for lustwerk music, with boss galcher lustwerk choosing to showcase the work of another producer for the first time. he s apparently been nurturing florida-based quavius for some time, encouraging the young producer to -experiment more- while following his instincts. it seems to have worked, because the majority of music on this debut release is top notch. it covers a lot of ground, with the a-side alone moving between r&b-inspired hip-house (-love the way-), hip-hop (-magic man-), woozy electronica (-r n v-) and spacey deep house (-composure-). there s naturally plenty more to enjoy on the flipside, too, from the old school deep hip-hop bump of -m 320-, to the crunk-tinged, cut-up goodness of closer -can i be-.

zarenzeit is a band project by the label owners with lead keyboarder and producer george btp, also known as allstarr motomusic or dan piu. after several live projects back in the 90ies, the band releases its first full album as black inside with vocalist debra jones davis and sarignia bonfà. the lp infuses deep soulful house and 80ies funk elements, starting with the ambient house drift of time travel, which soon settles into a classic rare synth pop as 2souls, 1heart, while let them know they won blasts more into the spacy and light dancefloor. sarignia s lovely gospel version of talk about a child, ends the album on a spare, but no less grooving, note. quality house music not only for adults.

in modo di (a classical music term for in the mode/style of.. ) is the new record label run by underground stalwart, tom ellis. one of the founding members and residents of the highly acclaimed freerotation festival brings us a resolute 4 track ep of his own deep, melodic techno productions, pushing forward his explorations of more hypnotic and textured dance music.

just this s first various artists aims to the research of a mix of sounds by producers from different countries, to a journey into a variegated world. melancholic vibes, deep ambient atmospheres. the second part of the various artists, gets straight to the point, reaching the dancefloor in a more hard and deep insistent way. the first track inside world is composed by hunter/game, as a playful banger with a solid kick, brushed percussions and surging, subtly atmospheric synth pads that make the track dreamy while fierce. the second one by pisetzky comes with a strong, continuous 4/4 bassline and organic percussion from start to end, further on dominated by a hypnotic melody followed by a more romantic and dreamy motif full of longing melancholy and eternity. the third one comes from just this new artist altman, with a breaking mellow downbeat theme, it lets all squeaky sounds mesh nicely like a dream landscape opening up into a widescreen chord progression, with an epic build up.

as a central point of reference of grischa lichtenbergers la demeure/il y a pe&#769,,,ril en la demeure complex, raster-noton releases a limited edition of three 12inch vinyl eps that are accompanied by a handmade, signed and individualized screen print. the three eps were set up as an experiment. each of the records is guided by a word that could be described as a phantasmagoria, a delusion of the 20th century – like a metaphor that is concerned not only with its immediate meaning, but with an implication more emotional, more irrational, telling something about the mindset of the not so distant past.

"zon - palace since more than ten years close friends and metal heads phillip tielsch (von spar) and mario katz (cologne tape) met for guitar sessions, trying to - nd the essence of their favourite metal records* and digest in their own sound“. quite ambitious but without any release plans so far... magazines jens-uwe beyer found out about their project and pushed them to produce an uncompromising condensate of their raw material. beyer cut here and there, contributed some additional production and also got john stanier (battles) in the boat for the drums. so zon became a band and -palace- became the most intense and sharp edged instrumental metal set you probably heard in years! crato s b-side counterpart, a 27min drone ambient interpretation of the zon material, completes this literally thrilling album and makes it – wrapped up by john harten s unique artwork series – another magazine release at its best. mastered by matt karmil. - 45 min playtime - endless loop on side a; b-side cut inside out"

continental sugar daddies bringing you a hot new special addition: studio 89 records 001. deluxe french ticklers 3 sisters and their love. music and art as one: spanking good fun for lovers of discipline. mystery artist relaxes and touches you whilst a young couple screws nearby. let us transcend you. we are a rail service, you are a hitchhiker who will hitch more than you expect. studio 89 sucks.

detroits brainstorm have achieved cult status as a group among underground disco, soul and boogie aficionados worldwide. hot for you lifted from their 3rd lp from 1979 has always been a huge record for the more discerning disco jocks, those who like to dig a little deeper to find the gems. a real dancefloor burner that found favour with everyone from larry levan to daniele baldelli after it s original release. the same can be said for journey to the light, another anthemic slice of midtempo michigan soul that was hugely popular in london on its infamous -rare groove- scene, pirate radio stations and beyond. lifted from the bands second lp and oozing class journey is a stellar cut, truly essential! both of these tracks on one 12- already make this an essential release for any real soul head, but the fact that the versions featured here are private re-edits from one of the true masters of the game s private vaults makes it utterly unmissable. yes, thats right - danny krivit, disco royalty, a true pioneer and re-edit trailblazer adding his unique touch to these incredible pieces of music make this a particularly hot biscuit. danny has kindly opened up his archive and in conjunction with tabu / demon music group brings us these amazing reworkings. both tracks have been lovingly edited and tweaked by mr.k himself with dj s and dancers in mind. 100% legit!

seeing as public release is a san francisco label and sister to face, a long-running local party, you could say it was inevitable the label would put out a record that candidly celebrates its hometowns talent, color, character. 415-pr10, whose name is an ode to s.f.s first, emblematic area code, is exactly that: a frenetic survey of some of northern california’s finest producers— and a blueprint of sorts for more similarly-minded and themed eps in the future

having previously worked with zero 7 and nightmares on wax before embarking on a solo career a few years back, mozez (aka soul singer/songwriter osmond wright) is no newcomer. the ray mang-produced run river first appeared on last year s wings full-length, and here makes it to wax for the first time. sitting somewhere between early freeez and odyssey, mang s extended vocal version is something of a soulful, soft-spun disco-funk treat. as we ve come to expect from mang, its musically rich and impeccably played, with the live instrumentation providing a deliciously organic feel. this can be heard more clearly on the excellent flipside instrumental.

hvl seems well thought of by many within the house and techno community, with labels queuing up to secure his services. bizarre realms marks his first appearance on los angeles hesperian sound division. it s an undeniably atmospheric affair, with the georgian keen to show off his noted eye for detail. check, for example, the spacey, detroit deep house-goes-acid vibe of -escape in time-, or the watery, deep space electronics and jazz-flecked rhythm of -bizarre realms-. he s not afraid to doff a cap to techno, either, as both the deep and dubby -sio-, and the more ragged, mind-bending -sforzando-, so neatly prov

in den späten 60er jahren entwickelte sich reggae weltweit zu einem dominanten musikalischen genre. die frühen jamaikanischen original reggae-aufnahmen waren bekannt für ihr hohes tempo und energielevel, das sich deutlich von den langsameren rocksteady tunes absetzte. die frühen reggae sounds lieferten den soundtrack für die britischen rude boys der siebziger jahre und erfreuen sich bis heute einer großen beliebtheit.
diese vinyl-only compilation auf dem legendären reggae-label trojan records liefert die besten tracks des »early reggae«.

continuing its remarkable run of releases, banana stand sound delivers another large dose of potassium with a highly anticipated heavyweight plate by bristol’s ollie 303. featuring two longtime dubs that have gotten plays from the likes of n-type, skream & benga, beezy and more, this is a must have for any serious head.

two years after his latest solo appearance on dement3d, francois x, also co-founder of the label, reveals his new ep unicorn paranoia. a record that sounds slightly more intimate indeed, after a period marked by close collaborations, especially with opuswerk (hiss:1292) and antigone (we move as one).

for their third delicacies 12inch this year, smd take a deeper, more spaced out approach, in contrast to the strict techno of the previous two releases. far away from a distance features hypnotic synth washes that glide slowly in and out of time with the track s rhythmic bed, stumbling over each other in a 5am haze. -flying or falling- pushes into classic smd melodies, mournful detroit indebted warmth spilling over the groove.

re:works is the result of a groundbreaking project that sees the rich catalogue of decca classics being opened to some of the worlds foremost electronic producers, seeking to further establish the common ground between the historic and modern day aspects of musical composition. ranging from the experimental to the more recognisable 4/4 structures of house and techno, re:works elicits the full range of emotion – from the heartbreaking to the ecstatic. francesco tristano takes on one of the most recogniseable piano riffs of all time with his remix of ‘merry christmas mr. laurence, which, after a brief introduction of that seminal loop, descends into deep, dubby house cut punctuated by shimmering keys. patrice baumels remix is an intense techno workout that is in many ways the antithesis of his definitive roar: a non-stop pummeling via clattering percussion and a heavy, pulsing bassline. completing the package, grammy-nominated studio legend martin buttrich delivers a melancholy, minimalistic techno take on saties gnossienne no.4

conceived at a poignant intersection of killawatt’s existence, the fazed ep evokes an introverted and pedantic nature, tailored for the individual over the collective. produced during a period of self-reflection and change, the ep signifies a positive gear selection in the mind-set and approach to sound design and music as a whole. a period of sustained momentum and the challenging of previous attitudes resulted in killawatt consciously isolating himself from specific negativity in and around him, through forced positivity, elimination of destructive environments and a more embracing approach to introversion, inner thoughts and sentiments are brought to the fore and expose a rarely seen fragility unaffected by external influence. remixes provided by bristol based, peng sound boss ossia and berlin atonal favorites sergie rezza (dj deep & roman poncet).

italian label greentech was inaugurated by minimono last year with a great remix by windy city legend paul johnson. the second edition features gaetano caruana aka caruan making his debut in production after many years of djing. -tempo reale- is an inventive and off kilter groove generated by clearly analogue means that pounds and grinds away out of sync at first, until it gradually begins to lock and it sounds great. there s some killer remixes by a real who s who of the scene and we can t help but mention all of them! first up fellow italians verrina & ventura deliver a typically stripped and rolling minimal house rendition. croatian hypnotic techno don petar dundov then delivers something more pounding and aggressive than we re used to, but we loved it all the same. finally the -eduardo de la calle tempo intrusion reale remix- sees the spanish master of trance induction deliver one of his best remixes in a while, complete with spooky sci-fi atmosphere, millsian bleeps and sonar blips.

sydney based swede adam stromstedt returns for the second release on lyssna, which he co-runs with partners out of stockholm and amsterdam. he s previously done stuff on bristol s banoffee pies and local imprint junk yard connections, mr. tophat s label. his offering on the a side entitled -sinbad- is a dusty and hypnotic deep house jam, that will appeal to fans of thomas melchior or more recently rene audiard. on the flip, there s label co-owner flord king, who just so happens to be the aforementioned connection in amsterdam. his contribution -dapper- is another excursion in subtle trance induction with rolling bass, immaculately programmed rhythm and woozy pads for added effect.

disco tech returns with volume 4! once again delivering those dancefloor ready edits that has become his trademark. starting off with dr packer s rework of the famous stevie wonder summer anthem and disco techs own edit of a rare cover version of papa was a rollin stone. the flip side takes on a more funky twist delivered by the italian disco legend ltj as well as the mexican funk don the funk district.

-nightbird- erscheint erstmals auf vinyl. das album war zuvor nicht in diesem format erhältlich. die 180 gramm schwere edition wird dem pop-meisterwerk klanglich gerecht.

the grooves of thomas white and pete williams aka natural rhythm, have been a mainstay in the sets of robsoul boss phil weeks for more than a decade. today he pays ‘tribute’ with a special re-release of some of his favourites. born in a garage in the late 90’s, natural rhythm was a meeting of passionate musical minds. working together the pair sought to create their own style and sound, influenced by the tracks they were regularly spinning in their own dj sets across the country. creative sampling and their own raw beats, together with live instrumentation and regular guest vocalists, saw natural rhythm create a strong catalogue that, as we know, are still getting played today. with three albums and over 35 ep/single releases to their name, there more than enough music for label boss weeks to select from for the tribute ep. a tough job? of course. however, phil went straight for the four that never leave his box. leading the ep are the sun-drenched vocal vibes of ‘something big’, the title track of natural rhythm’s 1999 release on under the counter. our a2 is the lead track from 2001’s last call at the martini ranch ep, ‘chicago nights’, with its quaking bassline and disco dalliance. on the flip we’re treated to a choice selection from natural rhythm’s 1999 double album contrast in nature. first up with its celestial chimes and thumping kick is ‘smoldering island’, taken from the original part 1. closing the tribute release and taken from part 2 is the devilishly funky and suitably titled feelgood jam ‘energized’. we definitely are!
