lokee musik goes into round three with an ep from the man of mystery known as anonym. very little is known about the person behind the mask, except some rumours that he hails from the motor city. in true classic techno spirit he prefers to stay anonymous and let the music speak for itself.

brooklyns boroughs are contaminated by creators, so the only surprise hearing alex burkats first 100% silk masters was how subtly exquisite he had nailed them down. patient, swelling loops of new age club mist give way to classic chicago figure-8 bass patterns, and dubby, sampled drum fills punctuate before billowing back out into breathy warehouse atmospherics.
his recent ep for mister saturday night explored more upbeat-oriented dynamics but tarot unwinds with a dreamier deja vu—waves of arpeggiated echoes, strobing stereo shimmer, and low acid warble arcing over a limitless subterranean dance floor. this is hypnotic humanist mantric mystery music for the 21st century, for those invested in what the deck has to hold.

felix lenferink follows up last years bouree ep with the next part of the series, bouree scene two for fourth wave.
calling in vocalist loes, felix moves from jazzy broken garage on third bouree through to driving atmospheric techno on fourth bouree. third bouree then gets remixed by felixs house alter ego frits wentink and mystery man gerry read, who delivers a loopy aural approximation of what a mental breakdown.

der aus baltimore stammende künstler michael collins, der sich bisher vor allem mit seinem indie-psych projekt run dmt in fachkreisen einen namen gemacht hat, kehrt als salvia plath mit einem neuen album auf domino zurück! in den letzten drei jahren wohnte er in diversen us-amerikanischen städten und nahm in dieser zeit sein wunderschönes neues album *the bardo story* auf. dieses neue schaffenswerk ist eine interessante mischung aus psych-pop, folk und ambient mit anlehnungen an monty phyton, dukes of stratosphere und der magical mystery tour. der vinyl-lp liegt ein downloadcode bei.

new ep by society of silence on versatile.

a heavy lead rhythm provides the foundation from which spiralling elements project. they coruscate, pulse with light and collapse inwards, until just the echoes of dub2 are left. rising from these depths, the sharpness of distribution theorys crisp hi-hats and snapping claps provide forward momentum to a series of stabs. the house element.
beginning as a mystery but ending as a certainty, the ethereal theme that opens untitled document gives way as it increases velocity, shaking and rattling under the strain. the apex. hands reach, seeking, the elusive moment has already passed, all left is pure. bliss. circumflex kicks hard, a final statement of intent. powerful. corrosive. this is late night techno, played over a system on which the squelching acid-lines converge within the mind. the body jacks.

after a 12 inch for the souterrain transmissions label and a split lp with ducktails on no fun productions, dracula lewis delivers his long-awaited debut full length u$e your illu$ion$, a title which evokes an imaginary deviant glamour which is synonymous with the teasing nature and sense of mystery which is a part of dracula lewis world. working with an abundance of pop based ideas with an abstract mentality, the record brings to mind, in manner and tone, hallucinatory avant strategies that were typical of the second wave of industrial.

there once was a scene up in boston, where things werent nearly so awesome. so the kids went to cambridge where people have knowledge and there the dance music did blossom!

after the killer release by marco shuttle vidd is back after a long silence with their 2nd release. a special release from somebody who has done a lot in a very short time: gw from stockholm. surrounded by mystery and simplicity, hurry up demonstrates both power and heft with few elements. the driving force builds a tension which really doesnt reach a peak, something that the locked groove vocal manages to balance perfectly. the energy is constant and keeps things interesting. the b-side starts off with runaway, a chicago-resembling funk track that reflects the 90s tradition and the new digital age. tonight closes the doors of this release and the closing lights come on, it is time to go home.

whilst mystery continues to cloak the artist sawf, theres nothing clandestine about the greeks bold and inventive take on techno that has been accruing on perc trax over the last few years

limited reissue of this incredible and highly sought-after futuristic 12 from 1981. released on west african music, a tiny label from the ivory coast, and finding a spiritual home on the italian eclectic cosmic scene, both tracks on this 12 are brilliantly innovative and exhibit a minimal techno-esque aesthetic way ahead of their time. side as closer is a chugging sinuous flow punctuated by jerking monotone vocals, horn stabs and synth arpeggios with a strong dancefloor sensibility. flip over for stunningly weird electronic percussion workout tam tam - a crazed sparse soundscape of strange falsetto tribal chants, funky hand claps and drums, synth wobbles, spasms and tweaks. mystery surrounds the identity of the elusive artist codek but evidence points to it being an offshoot project of french new wave producer john marieux.

shrouded in mystery and rarety loops haunts musical outpourings are the stuff of urban folklore. a strange alchemy of rugged rzaesque drums lay a contrasting bed for his spectral outboard sound bombardment. in contradiction with prior experiments, zenith has a strong and muscular loop based drum aesthetic running throughout from the nyc leanings mun rhul to the straight up amen bothering hardcore of zenith itself loops haunt has never sounded more relevant on a soundsystem!

ok so heres the last installment in the creme jak series. we feel there s not much to add to this concept and over the past few years this kinda musick has found the foothold it lacked when we started this lil enterprise in the heydayz of beige vanilla minimal. in any case it seems fitting to go full circle and draw the curtains with an epic disco anthem that might not be jak perse, but at least coulda woulda shoulda been caned back in the dizzies in all the places that mattered ese! you see, house is a feeling and blablabla.. so here s a final one up your purist backsides as this mystery strap-on crew cuts and tape edits its way through a molten bucket of swiss cheese and ends up with a dead hooker in the trunk in the process. limited 250 copies sticker ish. no repress, no digital, this is the end..

the final track of this release is an unusual track with at least an unusual name intelligent gum, which took a worthy area of the second side of vinyl. first of all, this track is remarkable duration of sound. despite the fact that it’s track so long lasting, but this it wants to listen again and again! it is quite hypnotic. soft as wadding and tasty as a chocolate with a delicious taste of liquor. in the course of listening you will find a lot of mystery and surprises for you, just enjoying the taste of chocolate with liquor.

smith & mudd are back in fine style on claremont 56, following up their excellent lp with this great double header! >sauna love< is the lead track, an uptempo, string laden boogie house affair with great vibes, bass, strings and punchy percussion all rolling along into the sunshine. on side-b >the surveyor< is a great piece of otherworldly electronic music, coming on like some weird cough medicine induced dream. the bass pulses along with mystery dialogue, light key flourishes and an intent that is delivered about 5 minutes in when the kick drops and the whole thing shifts into a latenight, alt disco bomb.

the majestys pleasure label returns after an extended break with their fourth issue of disco-centric edits and its clear the time out of the spotlight has left this mystery bunch of dusty fingered tweakers fully refreshed. whilst previous volumes have dipped toes in funk filled and philly string led waters, majestys pleasure vol 4 focuses fully on music from the post-disco /proto-house period of the 1980s and sounds very much like a beautiful swimmers dj set condensed into just 12 inches of vinyl. the concerted diggers out there will be consulting their sample notes for the source material on each of these (space palace has the most obvious hook) whilst those whove simply been enjoying output from the intermittent eros label will love both sides here

so, who is this mysterious afefe iku? after absolutely destroying the dancefloors all year long with his infamous bootleg of radioheads >everything in its right place<, which he smartly put out in extremely limited amounts of vinyl around the same time his mentor, osunlade, featured his cover of that very same song on bbes >exit music: songs with radio heads<. in all honesty afefe remains a mystery even to us. so, let us start by saying who afefe isnt. unfortunately, for those who thought he was osunlade, you are mistaken, but dont feel ashamed, because afefe creates at osunlades studio in santorini, which makes sense to pinpoint him as osunlade.

the man whos seen it all, thats terranovas fetisch, but he had it coming. as punks earliest and certainly youngest adopter, he strolled through late 1970s berlin, then moved to new york researching the first symptoms of hip hop, only to find himself being a many clubs resident dj in london at the end of the eighties. enters terranova, shrouded in mystery from the very beginning, fetisch‘s go-to project, that he originally conceived in 1996 to explore new club territory, and that has since built its very own cult following. kompakt truly feels honored to be the new home to an artist with such a rich background in club culture, especially as terranovas latest incarnation includes berlins house staple and boywonder &me as well as guest singer khan in his preferred role as the longest running hype in the history of underground awesomeness. consequently, it is with great poise that the trio‘s latest 12inch >so strong< commands its army of listeners to the floor, not unlike terranovas first outing on kompakt, the confidently named i want to go out. both the title track and epic flipside boogie for the dollar make up for a double headliner that takes you on a beguiling trip to the dark side of the club. no only do terranovas sequencing and beat programming deliver in spades, the package also sports some of the best vocals khan has churned out to date, featuring his trademark fusion of cool indifference and pure sleaze: >i give myself up to your splendor... so strong.<

leading deep house connoisseurs and creators of hold youth records seuil and le loup, gear up to unveil their labels debut ep >classics< – an excursion into blue-eyed soul and hip-hop infused grooves. retaining an element of mystery and authenticity, hold youth will be a vinyl only label, keeping it strictly underground. an outlet for seuil and le loups own productions, the label will feed on their musical inspirations, and nurture homegrown talent while exploring a range of sounds and styles, from hip-hop and soul through to house and techno. hold youth is also the name of the dj duo and their residency at social club in paris. >classics 001< is a split ep with two offerings from hold youth on the a-side. the first track >nautil us< is a rework, which modernises the 1974 >nautilus< by bob james while >paname< focuses on the solid underground house style with that all-important french touch and a sprinkling of nyc. on the b-side, seuil delves into funkadelic, hip-hop influenced waters with >khemestry<, which pays homage to trankilou and j. dillas deep side. le loup rounds off the ep with a track rooted in cuban salsa, but with brawny beats and a modern hip-hop twist.

the success of >twist< released with yuksek aka peter in peter and the magician, which was heard in the playlists of some of the best djs around the world, has contributed to increase the magician reputation among djs and electro lovers…

rockabilly was the name given by american trade papers between 1956 and 1959 to describe a new kind of music.

having subtly seduced us all with their debut single, ants, london based duo elephant return with their second seven inch offering on memphis industries. french-by-way-of-pontefract chanteuse amelia rivas met christian pinchbeck back in may 2010, since when they have been quietly creating some hauntingly fragile songs with a sense of mystery and history that belies their teenage years. so side a, >allured< strips away layers, to produce a pure expression of the confusion of love (and lust). amelias disjointed lyricism speaks of anatomy and of carousels, hinting at both the poetics and mechanics of unrequited desire. and on the aa side >actors<, elephant explore the tension of attention, both the craving to be noticed and the desire to melt away into the crowd.

>celebration, florida< casts scenes of dreamy characters and stories interwoven like a block of primetime tv. among the tales: a young woman who sets off to find a secret paradise, a teenager who enters a boxing gym in catskill, ny, a late night host recounting his rise to fame to his honeybee while traveling in a private jet, shady degenerates who get lost in a mystery concerning a honda civic, a young girl who crimps her hair and spies her dead father driving down the road, a wall street scandal hits a little too close to home, and even a trip through space to find long forgotten hollywood parties and hopefully make it back there in time to walk down the red carpet. the felice brothers are: ian felice, james felice, christmas, greg farley, and david turbeville.
comes with code for free digital download of this album.

we are back for another slab of genre-defying, ass-kicking, booty-shaking, timeless underground beats. get the curse music 07 features two cuts from the mysterious crackboy and two remixes from rising star gesaffelstein & toronto’s james teej. the question of crackboy’,s identity is burning everyone’s lips. who’s hiding behind this oh-so poetic moniker? theories abound, and rumor has it crackboy was last seen smoking on his pipe in the filthiest dens of the parisian underbelly. efforts to trace him since then have proved fruitless and until the next sighting, the enigma remains.
in spite of all this mystery one fact is crystal clear: with early feedback from ed banger’s busy p reaching the same conclusion that crackboy’s productions are solid gold, this is an ep with substantial crossover potential that will put the whole scene on the same wavelength.
