its been just over a year since we brought you the fantastic ‘inner activist’ ep from our brother chris. crazy right? the fact that all three tracks became mainstays for many over the past twelve months is testament, yet again, to the talent of mr. carrier. we never leave home without him. magic gallery sees chris displaying yet more his own musical sorcery. opening with the soulful tones of fantasy faces we’re soon thrust into the serious drum workout of stories. the choppy beats and sliced samples of warlock follow before the ep is closed, in the finest fashion, by the spellbinding title track itself. another strong and essential collection of house tools from chris carrier.

the first vinyl release on abandoned audio, the new sub-label from 31337 records, ezekiel honig‘s ‘a film of string & wood‘ continues his form of refracted, geographically oriented, electroacoustics. sitting in a background of field recordings and incidental real-world objects, textured piano and horns act as cement for chunky, yet subdued rhythms that fall over themselves and snap back into place. warm, looming tonal progressions remain incredibly intimate and focused while retaining an expansiveness of space, a perfect metaphor for honig’s music on the whole – personal and specific while intersecting with something more universal. throughout its five tracks, ‘a film of string & wood‘ stretches and pulls its melodies, weaving them through each blocky snare, each bassy kick drum phrase, with a heart and mind that hearkens to a different time, memory-tinged with a nostalgia for a moment that is yet to pass. pressed on sturdy 180 gram vinyl and featuring artwork/design by ezekiel honig.

the next pastamusik release is from borrowed identity. his musical upbringing was a melange of ethnic music from friends, weird stuff from local libraries and whatever else he could find in record stores and on the internet, this explaining the fact he makes anything from classical to ambient, house to techno, experimental to electro, hiphop to pop music. never content with one musical genre, but always focused on making music with heart and soul, his releases demonstrate a broad musical range and a wide taste. his new release on pastamusik goes from classic house, dynamic techno to acid-jack. styles and applying them to dynamic arrangements that showcase a confident set of studio skills and a deep understanding of what excites the expectant dancer.

killer afro business from finlands kojak giant sounds. as ever limited copies and no repress! these never hang around long!

other people is excited to debut the work of 19-year-old russian producer gena volgarev, aka inlensk, with the obratno ep. translated as backward, or conversely, obratno seems obsessed with and frustrated by a sense of nostalgia that can never lock its focus. finely etched, highly detailed rhythms retain a cerebral cool fluttering over, under, and around melancholic digital melodies that bend and degrade sporadically. meanwhile, the tactile use of filtering, extreme pans, and hypnotic microprogramming reveals an interest in sounds ability to shift temporal perception and evoke a purely neural response

back in 2011, chicago s beau wanzer reshaped the angry body-music of the now-defunct houston duo //tense// with an 8 minute claustrophobic tr-909 workout. the track never saw the light of day on vinyl... until now. imagine wax-trax era sounds fused with wanzer s notorious grit. guaranteed to pummel.

serioulsy violent opening on this ep with a massive deep hardcore shaker 175 bpm. then comes the nuklear waste society and it 170 bpm sustained hard kick and deep acid spirals. a side brings a loud dancefloor middlenight sound! b sides open on a acid breakcore tune, at the crossbreed frontier without passing it for real. too hard for them! too ritch in sound! finishing with mental breed, a superb acid bath of beats and never surrender 4/4 dancefloor effect.

geneve based pascal viscardi bring his rich and sweltering textures to saft with his first ep for the spanish label. the swiss producers paradiso ep is already the 9th installment and by no means an odd addition to the family. strongly rooted in soulful sounds with firm aesthetics and blissful melodies, this release is exactly what saft is all about. from the moment the pad in the title track starts riding, paradiso immediately hints to a deserted paradise.
tales from the emax (a2) is a groove laden anthem that will soothe those that are into soulful but firm sounds. on the b side, we find remix work of both originals. swiss house stalwart agnes stirs things up with his thriving rework of paradiso called la charme chambertin mixx. on the b2 cut we find saft familiar jefferson belmondo with a cracking rework of the title track *paradiso* called beach mix. 4 strong, groove-laden cuts that celebrate the saft sound like never before.

gonno reclaimed the almost forgotten poetic art of a musical journey that unite ambient, techno, house

g-23 makes his debut under the strange audio dreams moniker, coming through on italy s young art-aud label with a sweltering two-tracker backed by two heavy remixes. -error design 1- is a break-driven jam that never truly drops into pool of nastiness, leaving you yearning more, while -error design 2- strips the beats in favour of glitchy field recordings and percussion-driven drones. pan s nhk yx koyxen remixes the former into a wonky bit of brain dynamite, pushing those breaks in and out his melodic waves, cardopusher makes a deep techno roll out of the same original tune. all in all, a rather essential piece of gear.

the fine folks at moton, that will be diesel and jarvis, hook us up with something a little special this summer, slimming their usual 12 inch format down into superb colored 7 inches of edit delights. as we head onto the second disc, things only get better. *my guide* is a high emotion d-i-s-c-o trippy balearic rocker that is already making the playlists of the a-list. on the b side *mans lifespan* follows presently, hitting us with never can say goodbye as we ve never heard it before, thick with echoed vocals and spine tingling guitars. unreal! pressed on 7 inch limited transparent green vinyl.

we have become the people that we hate, scuffing and cursing at the world. you run away but you can never walk. you speak the word but you can never talk. you limp on a hill and spill all that shes left you on a saw. rip the shreds into pieces too, why dont you. eat them sweet and raw. if love first brought us together why shouldnt it still? we are human in the end and what makes us dance is no other thing than love. as long as we live, we will love. mrs jones stands as a dedication to mans ability to love, to dance.

white asega co-­owner jack dixon wrote new curtains after a friend who was coming wildly off the rails told him he was a good producer but his tunes were boring. the original version was really sparse and about 300bpm. when jack moved to new york the parts got lost, so he remade the track a dozen times. this was the version we all liked best, although jack never wants to hear it again in his life. it sounds tough and tropical. our friend troy gunner remixed it, and turned it into something so loud and slamming it will knock your teeth out. after telling jack to stop making boring music, mark kodiak spent two horrendous years working with jamie kodiak on a song they ve called taargus. it nearly destroyed their friendship forever but we think it was worth it. it has brutal weapon sounds, nasty snares and an incessant “yo” that has been described as “annoying and unnecessary”. the artist tom pounder has created a blinding video for it that contains brand new colours. french born bass genius bambounou stepped up to remix the track, taming the wild stems into a hypnotic early­morning house stepper. it took us approximately 2000 exhausting facebook group chats, four cross­atlantic flights and one divorce to get to this point. we hope you will enjoy this record for the rest of your lives. rip ken tulley.

messed up house ep is the right mood s debut on vinyl and for the four tracks on it, house music borrows their foundations. powerful kick drums and bright handclaps make the tight bases that carry lots of musical influences, from distorted guitar amps to brazilian percussion, passing through techno bleeps and minimal noises, all of them, always involved by huge basslines that will put to proof the sound system s capabilities of reproducing low-end frequencies. underground house music has found a place in this bundle. an ep title was never so true!

a black, very black, vinyl record which stands out compared to previous releases on limited. the sixth chapter of andrea belluzzi’s label is titled black series because its objective is to devastate the ordinary lines of techno and let loose the dark black wings which are the base of the project. on side a, mike storm and transientx4 lead us through a gradual scale of mysterious and mechanical loops capable of hypnotizing while increasing the level of pathos. this culminates the gradual build up to the third track, produced by andrea belluzzi, with a perfect balance between dark techno and ambient in a mental voyage which seems to never lose itself during the entire 7 minutes with the perfect energy for the dancefloor. the record ends with the work of ken karter which, although is strictly mental and super hypnotic, manages to offer a distinct danceable rhythm marked by low frequencies which remain slow but captivating with a wide array of sounds which grow without boring the listener.

twenty-eight homespun stunners from the alamo city s scrappiest souleros. the royal jesters were the kings of san antonio s cross-cultural teen scene in the 1960s, soundtracking lovelorn slow dances with their heart-sick harmonies. for the first time, english oldies gathers the best early doo-wop, r&b, and blazing latin rock and soul from these tex-mex masterminds - a simmering melting pot of diverse regional flavors, best served hot.

the original version is nothing short of a classic, but its as if the song had never been invited to a louie vega post-midnight global extravaganza. was the song not aware that spellbound dancing and high bpms were the standard for house music? normally, such a blaring disregard for nightlife decorum would relegate a song to the pits of sonic hell, but we’re talking about george clinton here! the original opens up with a g-funk groove that screams westside and lowriders. the listener is then blessed with clinton as he adds his sage, soulful and pimpadelic vocals, complemented by funkadelic singers asking him about the pains of the funk. the semblance of a beat that could drive the dancefloor into the morning hours is there, but in no way has it blossomed into its full glory. enter louie vega.

sources is a brand new series which will examine the output of a number of extremely influential independent u.s. labels throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

polish resident lutto lento follows up his debut 12inch for charles drakefords ftd label with this 6 track ep whips for where to now? records. luttos sound places him as quite a unique figure in modern electronic music, showing a fearless work ethic in shrouding his productions in saturated tape loops, and achieving what is certainly a low-fi quality to his sound, lutto manages to never let this lo-fi edge take centre stage, instead this expertly crafted process of tape cutting and looping provides the backdrop to luttos exuberantly crafted yet absolutely dance floor orientated drum work.

black 12 inch + mix cd by anal virginity (dude club resident // milan)

this release captures kicks, rhythms, and snares—only to drag them kicking and screaming into a metallic underworld. in j. tijn’s echo-sphere, there are only allusions to the status quo of sound and beats, and never a full-fledged embrace of the conventional. on side a’s “kanon v.i.p.” a grizzly digital war is left to play out between both kick and snare, with grainy battle lines drawn around upbeat and downbeat. survivors of the conflict are rewarded with a groove reminiscent of grime, if only the genre had been reborn in a dystopian future. side b opens with a roughneck beat on “mor” before turning its hand into a fist and effectively destroying its own image. the groove lives through this barrage of sound, but as a heavy and dark undercurrent just strong enough to remind you where j.tijn’s roots are. “shy” lures you in with a rounded electro kick, before glutting the rhythm and ushering in a wall of sound. a snowstorm of screaming drum samples proceed to surround you: you may have been here before, but you are somewhere rhythmically unseen. embedded in all of these tracks are perhaps a sign of the times: the things that used to be seen as normal have now changed and mutated.

fumiya tanaka s double-tracker >beautiful town< was fully inspired by its cover artwork: a set of carefully selected old pictures with a layer of masterful signature paintings by romanian artist and fine-arts student bonjour bonsoir. a-sides >abacus avenue< is the ep’s most dense and eerie side. an addictive piece that utterly succeeds in sucking you right in like a vortex would. the locomotive bassline serves its purpose of movement in a strong loopy groove, while the pads and poltergeist y sounds reformat our heads with an inability for space-time tracking. the otherside of this town, >himegami marathon<, is another mysteriously intricate work. its a microcosm of grooves, sinister details and voices locked in a tight groove built on a single bass stab and a flowing, never-ending set of wet claps. a piano kicks in at key points, alongside percussive elements, reminding us that this town is alive.

jesse siminski otherwise known by his dj name heartthrob and as label boss of imprint isnisnt, returns with a fierce 4 track ep of jacking modern acid funk. heartthrob has been producing for over a decade and his innate ability to create cutting edge and propulsive techno grooves has kept him busy with a touring schedule that takes him across the globe, as well as a new party series named after the label. pressing on pink coloured & marbled vinyl.
