for over 12 months thomas feriero aka avatism, our friend and label partner, has been staying at home and working on his album. he moved to berlin to work on it and now sadly (for us) yet (gladly) for him he is moving back to milan. poof! just like that. so what did this year entail exactly? well for some of us not much. we got to see him in his studio comfy pants a couple of times (he wears slippers) we heard his studio woes, ate pasta with him, drank beers and of course got to hear his album at every juncture. while this self-imposed exile may have been a little worrisome the result is fortunately spectacular. adamant is a glimpse into how a city shapes a life and how intrinsically life then shapes music.

now available exclusive at decks. markus suckut never fails. fat belin berghain influenced techno style.

its all in the title. party music!

n5md in conjunction with uwe zahn aka arovane has welded together an all new album comprising of tracks from as far back as 2002 and as recent of spring 2013. despite the different time periods in which the tracks were created the album sounds as if it was made in the same era/headspace and is very much in the stylistic vein of arovanes din releases. zahns ever stretching yet lurching swing-time beats envelop his signature less-is-more melodies like never before. ve palor is here, arovane is back! comes as limited edition 140g 2x12 lp plus download card (incl. three bonus tracks not available on the cd / lp).

welcoming warrior one to losing suki, the man like carl faure has been knocking out some killers for labels like black butter, catskills and king pigeon over the last few years, and for suki he shines a light upon the garage house hybrid sounds…. title track 5ths kicks things off with the kind of punchy garage house swing that never fails to move you, airhorns and synth sweeps pepper the cut whilst a thundering double 99-esque bassline throbs hard and heavy. flipside, the reverberating keys and mc licks of nyc continue warrior ones indulgence of the classic us house sounds but with a slick production for the modern dancefloor. closing track only you presents orgasmic pads and tough garage beats, its meaty bass touching the spot, a sweet slice of when rave met garage (somewhere in a field off the m25, most probably).

the one and only moodymannnnnn returns with an off-the-cuff double lp! as you would expect, the man from the d is in fine form, presenting some of his best work to date. and check that artwork too! wall-to-wall killers, don t sleep

berlin-based producer and dj hubertus schacht is back on samuvar 6 with a stunning microdubhouse-track - >hikari< sports multi-layered soundscapes, is full of little nifty melodies and big mighty chords albeit never losing sight of the dancefloor. swinging hi-hats, compelling breaks and a massive drop – embedded in a smoothly floating midtempo-arrangement. perfect for the early morning hours when facing the absorbed crowd of usual suspects in a club. and just as perfect for lounging around at home. headphones, sofa, let the world float by. on the flipside pavel pokhorovsky, formerly responsible for samuvar4, presents a convincing track with a calm and concentrated pusher. timeless record, quality!

kill frenzy, our belgian booty-loving jean-claude van damme look-alike returns with his latest ode to the female form. it never ceases to amaze us that the crew member with the tightest pants consistently turns in some of nastiest ghetto funk.

the anonymous bear and bunny from norway is back with a super secretive 12inch with two never heard before disco edit bangers. this isnt on soundcloud, there will be no digital release, and it will be a strictly limited edition 12inch white label vinyl release.

the modern deep left quartet is back. well actually, it never really went away, but due to contractual obligations they had been releasing as cobblestone jazz the past few years. so its high time that the projects are re-branded as originally intended, and this release marks that foray into quirky techno and mid-tempo goodness.

first ep and vinyl release from this surprising detroit secret! we dont know who or what, so we will let the music speak for itself. for those in search of something new, buy this record

i will never forget the many dancefloor dates my friends and i had with harry romero back in the late 90s and early naughties. nobody turned out beats like *choo choo*. cro-magnon, erectus, tania, night at the black, suck my clock, beats vol. 1 & 2, mas pito (as mongobonix), the list goes on and on… each and every one a seminal house smash, played by all and still sounding as fresh today as they did on their first spin. 2013 is the beginning of a new chapter for harry, parting ways with his long time label group subliminal, after completing a ten year deal, he is now free to release with other labels, and importantly, return directly to the beats. already forging ahead with new releases on ovum (under his vaggio alias) and sneaks i m a house gangster among others, here he makes his debut on circus recordings.

4th title from this great collaborative techno label from london, another fine bundle of established artists go head to head... bros004 brings together two legends of the techno world mike parker and paul birken. they have created a track that is a minimal system killer, driving forward with pure subtly thats hypnotising as well as forceful. on the flip side greg shappert (donor) and bill youngman move and step around distorted drums and synth lines creating a never ending in your face techno track!

the guns boys have been firing gems at us recently but this release is possibly their strongest to date. tapeedit 006 is a 4 track 12 inch which is all killer no filler.

and as the sun set that evening, gator boots knew that the world would never hear the music unless he did something about it.

first appearance of this small-scale vinyl imprint from the east of holland with a split-release by the well-respected aroy dee (m>o>s, delsin, rush hour, dolly) and perseus traxx (bunker, m>o>s). both of them are known for their deep analogue house music productions with raw and sharp edges, but most recognizable in their work is the presence of true emotions. this will also be the distinctive element for the labels future output: emotive electronic music with the soul deep within. honest and unpolished music that is inspired by everyday life, whether it comes from pain or joy. perseus traxx kicks off with an immersive, slow building and uplifting track, followed by a moody but hypnotic and slightly acid inspired piece. aroy dee takes care of the flip-side, with a dreamy and atmospheric track, and one raw, surprising and energetic cut. a versatile selection of tracks

the next two optimo trax releases are from milan. this first one is four hot tracks from two self-effacing milanese maestros. *acido* is already shaping up to be a club classic and never fails to cause a commotion, it has been thoroughly road tested throughout summer 2013. the other tracks cover all idiosyncratic bases from high grade sleaze funk to spaghetti western-infused, low-slung house.

just in time for this years festive celebrations, the imprint curated by merseyside edits maestro greg wilson returns with the tape-tapping talent of fingerman. real name gregg holmes, wilson first thought his fingerman pseudonym was inspired by a character from v for vendetta, the cult graphic novel by alan moore, but he was in fact so called after creating a weird stop motion video on a mobile phone about a shouting finger. thankfully his studio work is less peculiar: years of spinning techno in the mid-90s giving way more recently to an going love affair with funk, soul and disco nuggets.

vinyl only! handstamped! after the successful label launch >pure 001<, the follow-up release >pure 002 - tribute to gerberei< is now on the starting blocks.
the two former gerberei residents ron albrecht & stefan rein announce their a1 track >tatort< using their pseudonym >brothers in mind< while remaining true to their typical sound that goes back 20 years: pumping functional techno for the floor. thats it!
longtime friend and companion andre kronert was brought in for the a2 project. he contributes a fulminant remix of the song >tatort< as an absolute statement to techno - pure and direct, just like it was celebrated in the gerberei for almost 19 years. what a club-monster!
stefan rein as well as the mysterious s.e.p.e. are in charge of the b side of the record. >unwavering detroit<, created by stefan rein, is to be understood as a deep bow of honor for many great years and stunning sounds in the >holy halls< of the club... never forget!s.e.p.e. closes with the b2 title >we will find you<, without making a secret of his dedication to techno.
who the fuck is s.e.p.e.?

scotland-born parisian paradise 100 (a.k.a. dj africa, a.k.a. graham peel) has been percolating stripped-back, bouncy-castle house constructs onto the web for a few years but never locked them in wax until now. high time. following his minimalist dictum *more than three tracks on a song is just indulgence*, his debut eps four cuts share a sleek, spare design, jigsawing slinky bass, classic keys, lean drum programming and flashes of synth mirage into fluid, aerodynamic patterns. touches of melodic acid and crossover new wave color the mood an exotic, hedonistic hue (further evinced by titles like the loin king and french kissing in the house of love). his own vision of the project is appropriately fantastical: *the image in my mind is of tropical forests at night, torchlight, distant sounds of tribal ritual dance and ghosts.* regal music for pleasure domes.

people must jam is our sydney based warehouse party that we have been running for five years. the ethos behind the night initially, was to bring djs to australia that we wanted to hear but that had never been, and to put them on in intimate spaces and let them dig deep into their collections to play whatever they wanted. over the years we have brought rahaan, al kent, leo zero, mark seven, trusme, frank booker and more to australia for the first time to play. floor jammers vol. 1 is the first in a series of eps from some of our favourite past and future guests. the record is pressed on 180gm vinyl and strictly limited to 300 copies.

his radio 1 supported friday (re-fri) featuring rising star takura, sensible haircut which was released as the double a side with 23 and the shadow child remix of kid kombats chinga out last year on televizion but all never before on vinyl.

a demo tape, sent to capitol records by the trash company in the early 90s, garnered this curt response from then president of the r&b division, joy bailey: some music was never meant to be heard. thug records returns with one of the most intriguing releases to grace the catalogue so far. not restricted by any one scene, max monroe of the trash company produces a hypnotic medley of original hard edge rhythm & blues, soul dance and classic psychedelic punk wave textures. armed with a condition known as synesthesia meaning he perceives sounds, words and letters in terms of color and a 4 track cassette recorder, the trash company has spent the last 30 years as a bedroom recording genius.

ltd 2015 repress!!!
finally we close the ep with woman, a track thats probably about as close as the ds boys get to a smooching torch song. lush pads and strings bring a deeper vibe to proceedings but the female spoken word samples keep the energy high and ensure things never stray too far from the floor.

two overlooked rare disco masterpieces produced by soul legend lenis guess. when we met lenis in new york this year, the super rare shake lp *music is the only way we can communicate* was lying overlooked and forgotten on a dusty shelf. lenis had the tapes there too, so it wasnt long before we picked two of our favourite tracks for this killer 45. one for the rare disco and boogie heads and never before on 45, these wont be around long.

next huge enemey by nikola gala. 4 storming and quality techno tracks. enemy carry the flag and never disappoint. shrinked.

in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.

neil landstrumm returns to dont with a collection of some of his finest and most groundbreaking tracks from the tresor era of the mid to late 90s… also included is an alternative version of tension in new york, made at the same time but never released. what with the current resurgence in real techno, the time is right to show the kids of today, what was going on in the 90s and how it still freaks the frame and gets the dancefloor moving all these years later!

beautifully deep, atmospheric and hypnotic. sohaso 001 comes from the mysterious dutch producer love over entropy. >off the grid< is beautifully deep, atmospheric and hypnotic number that envelops the listener with its warm and tender touch as its swelling keys pulse in waves of increasing intensity that never meet a crescendo.

love revolution, the brooklyn based label is back with their fourth release, this time from chicagos underground legen joey kay. 4 tracks from 91-03 that have never been released on vinyl before: i cant stand it, let you go, automated and crystalis. *i cant stand it* is the vocal bomb, *let you go* is proper old school chicago jack, *automated* is emotive disco at its finest, and *crystalis* is pure feeling. hand-stamped, vinyl only action from the american underground.

the allstar collaboration continues, following the previous bestselling golf channel releases from these two heavyweights rhythm odyssey is a production alias of the one and only dean meredith (chicken lips, goat dance etc) here he’s teamed up with dr dunks (eric duncan, rub-n-tug) with a view to concocting the very finest analogue assembled proto house and modern disco. ‘saffron’ has been ripping up floors since a handful of promos surfaced before summer in insistent piano motif powered along by beefed up but never bullying drums ‘night addict’ on the flip pitches things down and links up a bubbling acidic arpeggiator bass with dismembered vocals and light touch keys. a bouncy little palate cleanser after the spice bomb on the a.

tough luck records are back after an extremely well received first release. the follow up to mixmags techno tune of the month for august (label co-owner rebels history), tlr002 is no less exciting and fresh bringing together a collection of familiar names and emerging talent from the uk, usa and italy.

audiolith - musical luckybag with a masterplan. ten years from now, back in 2003 the label started as musical one-man-show without any kind of business plan. a decade has passed since then and audiolith grew into a proper company with two associates, employees, office, online mailorder store and not less than 200 releases under its belt. but still some things never change, especially when it comes to release politics. no matter what ever style comes in whenever the boss likes it there will be a release. no compromise, no fear of failure that is what audiolith is all about and lars lewerenz is, has been and stays the musically approving authority, no matter if we talk electropunk, drum n bass, indie or punkrock, hiphop, trap, deep. emotin-driven house or electropop. his widely varied taste is the reason why audiolith still remains fresh and surprising a musical luckybag, but one with a masterplan. now the year is 2013 and audiolith is still loved by many - and hated by some for giving away golden gifts to fans instead of waiting for presents itself.
