after being one of the many standouts on the we are opilec…! vol. iii compilation back in 2016, i-robots glamouflage is now getting a full vinyl release with artwork by tomozo kevorkian, who was designer for nyc s body & soul, and remixes by a standout team of producers from japan to switzerland to south africa and the usa. opening up the ep is a fantastic new take ii version from label boss i-robots, who added exclusive chinese vocal samples recorded on the streets of huang jiang city many years ago. the track is inspired by ennio morricone and supermax and is a loose and infectious groove with brilliant drums and percussion and an elastic bassline that really gets you moving. it s a subtle update to the original—also included here as a bonus cut—which itself is a steamy and tropical sounding groove. swiss electronic pioneer schaltkreis wassermann then features on a version of the original that reaches for the cosmos with its rugged bass riffs, tumbling toms and busy, ever evolving groove. it has a big breakdown with exotic synths wandering through the night and oodles of effects and big guitar licks. the first of the remixes comes from kuniyuki takahashi who has been a big supporter of i-robots since 2000. he is a sound designer from japan who had a compilation of his works put out by music from memory back in february. his version is laden with cosmic synths and chants, grunting and organic drums and is sure to be massive this summer thanks to its open air vibes. detroit s underrated but vital gary martin is the boss of the teknotika label and his version featuring colten decker playing an unusual sax line shows another side to the motor city. it s a curious and mysterious tune that makes for an unsettling atmosphere that keeps you locked throughout as it snakes along.

from rare japanese disco gems, through spiritual jazz, to genre defying sounds from broken-beat cohorts kaidi tatham and dego, ‘lillygood party!’ takes a unique trip inside the musical mind of one of dance music’s true nonconformists.
alex attias got his start in back in ’88 playing funk, house, jazz, and disco, as well as producing under various monikers such as mustang, freedom soundz or beatless. moving to london in ’97 he started his ‘visions’ label and found himself at the epicentre of the emerging west london ‘broken beat’ scene which grew around his studio at goya. releases on people, planet e, ubiquity, neroli, archive and compost followed, as well as remixes for incognito, 4hero, ennio morricone, sun ra, art blakey, roni size and laurent garnier among others.

multi instrumentalist and deep house master lars bartkuhn returns to utopia records following his nomad ep in april with a 10 minute masterpiece, an ode to the massai . an epic journey of such depth and positive spirit it perhaps deserves to render a genre all to itself. with its musicality, complex arrangement and phrasing massai is a timeless and personal statement from bartkuhn as he seeks the essence in what dance music can and possibly should be. as a young child growing up in frankfurt, bartkuhn penned his first pieces of music with a synthesizer and sequencer, bought for him by his parents upon realising their son s obsession with music. mastering the guitar as a teenager bartkuhn fell deeply in love with the music of pat metheny, keith jarrett and john coltrane and styles such as soul, funk, brasilian sounds, minimal, dance, and others which is heard in his music today. by the mid 90 s bartkuhn began to explore the deep and soulful side of house music and formed lamaya productions and the now legendary record label needs (not wants) together with his older brother marek bartkuhn and dj yannick. needs rapidly became a synonym for soulful, high quality music and while labeled a house music imprint it was lars input that lead the trio to explore alternative, and at the time unorthodox, musical influences that allowed for original textures and arrangements to be included in their productions. countless remix commissions followed and their sound travelled worldwide with works for francois kevorkian, jazztronik, ennio morricone, atjazz to name a few. to date bartkuhn has produced five solo albums all of which demonstrate a never ending creative flow of ideas and artistic diversity, complexity and passion. after some years away from the dance music scene, residing in brasil, lars decided to continue this journey on volcov s neroli records, followed by a 12- for alex bradley s phonica affiliated utopia records. the latter release, nomad has found its way into the sets of the likes of jeremy underground paris, hunee, antal, ron trent, rainer truby, bicep and mcde to name just a few. it s at this point that bartkuhn gives us massai...his self proclaimed finest work

debüt-ep des neuen warp-signings aus italien: lorenzo lenni offenbart aus der perspektive des ex-straight-edge-hardcore-punkers eine frische sicht auf den 1990 er hardtrance und seine auswirkungen auf edm und dancehall. allerdings sind seine emotions und sensationsstrukturen verfeinert und eindringlicher, was seine ep in eine reihe mit den arbeiten von sophie, plastikman, ennio morricone oder squarepusher stellt, die das schnelle auf und ableben in den zyklen der modernen musik überdauern.

elleorde was born 3 years ago at camp cosmic, an anything-goes music festival in the swedish forest that s recently been relocated to the german countryside. elleorde s debut record shares the same themes as the fest with a combination of time travel, cosmos, space exploration, sunsets on exotic planets, and universal love. not to mention, these are forest jams, mind you. the uk one-man project draws influences from war, dexter wansel, tantra, cerrone, ennio morricone, supermax, you get the idea. step in to the battlestar gallactica, open wide and eat the future.

from piero umiliani, legendary soundtrack composer for numerous italian movies of the 60s and 70s, and the man behind mah na mah na (muppet show, benny hill, sesame street), the omnicron label (sound library works) and the sound work shop recording studio. for fans of experimental music, avant garde, synth experimentations, ennio morricone, riz ortolani, giallo movies, mondo movies, soft erotica, and wonderfully weird stuff. the album is fully remastered for new levels of enjoyment.

nach diversen 12inch singles war es an der zeit, dass discotexas-mitbegruender xinobi endlich sein debuetalbum veröffentlicht. das werk stellt die breite der einflüsse des djs und produzenten vor. eingebettet in einen organischen house-sound mit disco bezug treten immer wieder vorlieben für pop hervor. die 54 minuten spielzeit sind homogen und vielfältig zugleich. es gibt intime, kontemplative momente aber auch eingängige refrains. rauheit a la caribou wird mit ennio-morricone-artigen sounds fusioniert. dj kozes fragmentartige deepness aus der kulisse des sonnigen lissabons heraus produziert. spaghetti-disco oder supermax in jamaikanischer dub-version. surf gitarre und deep house.

saudade ist eine spezifisch portugiesische form des weltschmerzes. es läßt sich mit traurigkeit, wehmut, sehnsucht oder sanfte melancholie nur annähernd übersetzen. das wort steht für das nostalgische gefühl, etwas geliebtes verloren zu haben, wohlahnend, dass es nie wieder zurückkommt. das album ist stark beeinflusst von klassikern wie antonio carlos jobim, gal costa und luis bonfá, aber auch serge gainsbourg, ennio morricone und modernen künstlern wie der electro-samba-pionierin isabelle antena. saudade entstand mit hilfe einer vielzahl von gastmusikern.

italian soundtrack funk that sounds like goblin recording at stax! (wax poetics magazine)
record kicks proudly presents the new album by italian soundtrack funkateers calibro 35! there is one thing that italians do better than others, funky soundtracks. quentin tarantino knows best: soundtracks from italian movies of the 60s and the 70s are the thing! calibro 35 does with music what tarantino does with films. they borrow what they love and they make it their own. with rolling stone magazine words *calibro 35 are the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing, that happened to italy in the last years*, think at the budos band that meets morricone.

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.

dead capo is a quartet that fluctuates between the classic sounds of jazz, the attitude of rock and the trepidation of surf. all of this seasoned with the cinema sounds of rota or morricone.
it has been 10 years since their debut lp, díscolo (pueblo records, 2002), made waves with the national critics. their new album is once again surprising and the band sounds as fresh as when they started their journey at the end of the 90s. sale (lovemonk, 2012) combines an extraordinary energy with passages of meticulous precision and goes from wild to calm in a way that is both unexpected yet natural. thelonius monk, cartoons, cinematic landscapes, rocks past, africa, surf and the ballad come together in an album as great as it is as unpredictable.

the perfect union between passion for detail and endless inspiration characterize the music of the versatile french dj/producer, darlyn vlys.
drawing his inspiration from gainsbourg, giorgio moroder, lindstrom, trentemoller, the chemical brothers, depeche mode, daft punk, cliff martinez, morricone, badalamenti, darlyns core is rooted as much in music as it is in film.

record store day is synonymous with exclusive and limited releases and this year is no different. featuring a collaboration ep with adrianyounge from venice dawn and black dynamite fame and adrian quesada from the echocentrics, ocote soul sounds, brownout and grammy-winning grupo fantasma. a first name is not all adrian younge and adrian quesada share, they also both have an equal love of the psychedelic, the cinematic and at the root of it all, soul music. so it was inevitable that a collaboration would eventually come to fruition. mutual admirers of each others work, they first met at the sxsw music festival while on the same bill. both began their production careers on mpc and taught themselves various instruments to further capture the symphonies heard in their heads. fresh off his current solo project something about april under the moniker venice dawn, adrian younge found time to create all new tracks with adrian quesada who just released his echoland tribute to timbaland with the echocentrics. although both are distinct artists in their own right, they are cut from the same cloth with a signature sound thats equal parts morricone, early portishead, wu-tang and 60s psychedelic cinema soundtracks. their combined efforts on this ep guarantees a double dose of the sound we have come to expect from these talented individuals.

>xenomorph / vespertilio< follows up peter kruders >law of return< track, that was a highlight, both in the music world in 2009 and in macros ever brilliant catalogue - and one of the now most sought after recent vinyl collectors records. xenomorph takes off where law of return ended. 2012 couldnt start deeper: detail rich, dreamy, pushing enthusiastically forward into the new year. vespertilio then moves between the off-centre sound aesthetics of a morricone soundtrack and the intensity of hypermodern subbass droppings. this is an irresistably deep double package, exceeding even the boldest expectations. a masterpiece. no more, no less.

one of the master teachers of the norwegian house and disco rune lindbaek - who put oslo on the house map as part of the those norwegians ( paper music ) - joins forces with younger disciple kare frisvold for a potent, accoustic hallucinogenic called >bozak brewed with the shared knowledge of mad sounds scientist like walter gibbons and lee scratch perry: a constantly building electrical storm of strange psychedelic synth noises pierced by flutters of rico rodriguez style trombone solo, liquid guitar scales and kraftwerk like melodic fragments all held together by a forcefull drum beat. the quirky >spok & spenning< on the flip is another beautifully strange mixture of cinematic melodies, like sweated out by a drunken ennio morricone, over an easy skanking beat and comes additionally in a stripped down bonus beat plus spacey sounds version by prins thomas. take a trip to your mind!

a trip into the desert full of hypnotic discobeats, furious guitarchords and rattlesnake shakers. a cómeme adventure where the traces of morricone, argento, patrick cowley, kenneth anger, rebolledo and daniel maloso melt under the desert sun into an epic adventure of 2010 outdoor dance psychedelia

altair nouveau consists of one brandon mitchell, a young producer from the west coast currently residing in san francisco. altair nouveaus music, though designed with the dance floor in mind, still evokes a personal element. it is the combination of these elements that give altair nouveau his indistinguishable larger than life, spaced-out future disco sound sure to cause a dance floor frenzy. raised in the sprawling city of san jose, california to musical parents. mitchell grew up with the encouragement of his father, an electronic music teacher at the local community college. brandon began educating himself by collecting albums from the likes of giorgio moroder, vangelis, ennio morricone and john carpenter. this gave way to newer acts such as in flagranti, prins thomas, lindstrom and several artists on dfa. the title track æspace fortress marks a bold and exciting introduction into the sonic landscape of mr. nouveau, combining g funk, p funk and a 4/4 disco foundation that adds up to something otherworldly altogether. released as a joint effort with the uber-hip dfa records this 12 features mixes exclusive to this release from ultra-talented irishman john daly who turns out a deeper take while michel morins criminally underrated nom-de-plume sneak-thief takes it deeper into spacey disco-funk territory.

third release for the third eye project of masomenos, with 3 tracks by themselves, including a great featuring by curro savoy on ningessera, a vocal pumping & deep house track. you ve probably heard curro savoy before, as he is the amous whistler from all ennio morricone soundtracks for sergio leone movies! he brings here an amazing melancholic vibes with his whistle & guitar… percute his a funkier track, but still quite trippy. as for sambatic, we get more into percussive groove with some great vocals too, thats sound like in ningessera to be some unknown universal language
