with this ep best works records would like to pre-sent a new artist - luis junior. no stranger to the game! madrid-based luis junior has been a dj and music producer for more than 20 years. in 1993 he re-leased his first 12-inches starting to build a disco-graphy of genre-defying music that pushes forever forward, designing new stylistic frameworks and breaking new artistic ground with each successive production. luis has grown into one of the most cut-ting edge and inspiring artists in spanish electronic music. his versatile production skills are clearly displayed here from soulful and folkloristic influences to techno. the first track on the ep “don’t give up on me” fea-tures singer sobi thurairatnam with sultry vocals and a stong pop-appeal. d-nox and beckers tranform it into a club burner for the early hours. floidos on the back-side is more of techno-orientated banger and with pasion luis junior manages to integrate some spanish flamenco sounds without getting to obvious.

2015 saw datassette in generous form, the original offal brought 100 tracks of alleged offcuts. while a rare few actually live up to this self-deprecation, it couldnt be a more misleading title. now, selected offal has been boiled down to a gravy-like substance for a vinyl release by the nice folks at shipwrec. after discussions with the artist, and suggestions from fans, seventeen prime cuts have been selected for the vinyl edition of offal, alongside a few brand new previously unheard nuggets and alternative versions. expect a buffet of delights. smooth electronica, abrasive funk, out-there acid experimentation, chip tune chicanery and everything in between from this chameleon of machine music.

‘sound of palladio’ is the first in a four part series of limited 12- pressed to 180g coloured vinyl, with a single piece of cover artwork commissioned from italian artist nerog spanning throughout the series. never ready records’ inaugural release sees venetian techno & bass house experimentalist munstac veer between the echoing sub bass chambers and angular staccato momentum of “the cathedral” to the more drawn out drum rolls and flutter of “the theatre”. along the way, east london’s spatial helms a mighty 132 bpm jungle break refix of “the cathedral” whipping up that trademark hectic fervor the infrasonics label boss has previously delivered on the likes of “wncl & stillcold”

kuedo returns to planet mu with his long awaited second album ’slow knife’. it’s been five years since his acclaimed debut ‘severant’ and time has proved it prescient, its futuristic trap influence is now ubiquitous. ‘slow knife‘ seems to return to where ‘severant’ left off, but with the intricate sound design of last year’s haunting ep ‘assertion of a surrounding presence’ subsumed into the compositions, making them more exacting and beautifully crafted.

javier orduna grew up with the sound of legendary punk associates like the bad brains, joy division or dead kennedys. but already in the 80s he was dedicated to acid house and the techno of detroit which brought an inspiring vibe to his frst productions. an infuence you can still hear in his recent works. emerging into barcelona s vibrant electronic music scene in the early 2000ers with residencies e.g. at the legendary moog club orduna was soon touring clubs around the world and releasing his output on visionquest, viva music or moda black. what brought him to jeudi were his undeniable production skills and his big warm and crazy heart. for our 26th release we are proud to have him on board with this stunning 4 tracker defnitely will fnd some lovers out there.
supported & liked by jamie jones, hot since 82, chaim, tim green, sacha robotti, lehar, ewan pearson, robbie akbal, affkt, john monkman, lane 8 and so much more.

hot on the heels of refraction vol. 2, residual welcomes the return of long time friend john tejada. the prolific programming master serves up salacious selections that are searing to say the least. the lead track jaco is a pepe bradock influenced piece the twists and turns with breaky beat work. the numbers on the b side are firmly focused on filing the dance floor. round the outside shows tejada in top form. upfront drums and basslines perfectly paired with flittering melodies. repurposed is more minimal in form but no less effective. quirky tweeks along cascading riffs.

stankonia is the fourth studio album by andré 3000 and big boi, known together as outkast. while outkast’s previous albums were considered to be laid-back, mellow efforts, stankonia contains faster, more high-energy tempos, partially to reflect the chaotic times and drug-related incidents at the turn of the 21st century.
“b.o.b”, “so fresh, so clean” and “ms. jackson” were huge hit singles. “ms. jackson” became the group’s first single to reach number one on the billboard hot 100. at the 2002 grammy awards, outkast won best rap album for stankonia and best rap performance by a duo or group for “ms. jackson”.
throughout the years, stankonia has been regarded by many to be one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time and went certified platinum throughout the globe.

the paris soulful disco scene is pretty hype right now and young pulse is definitely one of the key players. after three highly successful eps on gamm, young pulse is now set for his fourth release in the celebrated paris edits series. as always with young pulse we re served the blacker and more soulful side of disco and this time we get a proper prime time philly stomper on the a side and a uplifting feel-good boogie tune on the b. together with the new (and very beautiful) design we got another gamm winner folks!

even if russian producer gradient logic is found here turning out the business on serbian label disco fruit, the sound on the far away ep comes on like a snappy fusion of garage-ready new york proto house and laid back west coast boogie of the highest order. it s the third vinyl release for tonbe s label, and once more marks the serious clout behind the eastern european operation and its closest artists. just try grooving to the slick bass pops on feel me without being transported to an early 80s dancefloor. there s a more organic funk to lock into on i want you slide, but as ever it s hard to tell where the sampling ends and the musicianship begins on this utterly natural sounding ep.

billing themselves as crew of beat junkies raised in the legendary sugar shack studio,difusion make their first appearance on their own label in style with some righteous edits that make some decisive cuts where it counts for pure dancefloor dynamite. losing me is more of a rolling breakbeat inflected house workout with a deadly delay treatment on the vocals that drops in at just the right time to surely set a club off at any hour. get up is a more sultry cut but it still hits heavy, and be truthful and change it both offer up differing soulful angles to make this a highly versatile record for all kinds of situations.

discodromos ever-essential cocktail d amore label launches into action once more with the ear candy of komodo in tow. magic hour manages to work classic piano house tropes into a suitably cosmic headspace that s loaded with reverb and all things trippy, but its relatively grounded compared to the exotic meditation that the backwoods manage to conjure up on their oriental dub of the track. lizard dance channels early trance vibes to great effect in a celebration of early 90s rave mysticism and then sand dunes offers up a bubbling, friendly twist on acid house. using familiar tropes but still maintaining originality, from start to finish this is a classically rooted record with something to say.

having thus far released eps for aficionado and music for dreams, a vision of panorama return to their regular haunt mellophonia to expand on the promise of their shorter works to go deep into a balearic dream on aquafusion. it s a perfect meditation on serene funk from start to finish, spanning eight tracks of tender musicianship that sit very easy on the ears. the likes of surf blue almost do away with drums entirely in a quest for calm, while barbados and others offer up a more sprightly vision of 80s-flavoured groove, but throughout the mysterious hands behind the record maintain a smooth and steady mood that binds the album together.

vol. 4 of 4 with more classy dub techno

(white vinyl with grey splatter) we are proud to add a new member to the baum family. sascha rydell of fachwerk fame has produced two powerfull tracks for is debut release on baum. a day ward has dubby elements, and a modulating groove perfect for the dancefloor. crack willow is a more deep and atmospheric track close to a deep house vibe, which also gets some dirty raw treatment from resoe on his morning reshape remix.

one of the most charismatic pioneers of uk dance music, skream, is back on the visionary label that is crosstown rebels. the momentous ‘you know, right?’ has been avidly searched for since it’s inception and will finally be released in november 2016. this two track ep contains two innovative productions from the musical chameleon, pushing the boundaries of genre once again with breakbeat percussion, potent keys and a garage style vocal on the monstrous ‘you know, right’. the ep also features the techno soundscape ‘minor smooth’ on the b-side, which also is going down a storm . we last saw skream on crosstown rebels last year with the epic ‘still lemonade’, which gained high critical acclaim. keeping the standards high the truly individual ‘you know, right?’ has already been heavily supported this summer by jackmaster, jamie jones, annie mac, steve lawler and damian lazarus amongst others. starting out as one of dubstep’s first most prominent and prolific producers, skream went on to achieve commercial success and critical acclaim with magnetic man alongside artwork and benga reaching no.5 in the uk album chart and reaching no.10 in the uk singles chart. more recently he has been releasing on his label of unsound mind and as a sought after remixer on labels such as boysnoize records, hot creations and watergate records.

hotflush are proud to welcome an exciting new talent to the roster. her name is or:la and she arrives at her debut 12inch already boasting a formidable reputation as a dj and promoter in the uk - her long-standing meine nacht party is merseysides finest and her appearances on whp line-ups are turning heads. the 12inch in question is uk lonely - a four track ep that flaunts enviable range and seems to contradict the producers youthful years. in it she covers a broad spectrum of past and contemporary influences spanning garage, afrobeat, breaks and dubstep. the a-side is punchy yet elegant: vocal cut-ups drift through off-beat percussions in title track uk lonely, while riddims and melodies weave in and out of each other on an exotic limbosoup. the b-side is more contemplative:x & o recalls the wistful vocals and layers them over aughties breakbeats before jaipur rounds off this opening salvo in delicate and playful fashion, hinting at things to come

daze makes a first appearance on torn hawk s valcron video label with a distinctive trio of adventurous jams hovering on the fringes of the dance. slums of grand central is certainly crafted with the party in mind, but it s a more introspective kind of get down for those who like popping at a slower tempo. torn hawk then takes the track to task with a tense revision that comes on like uneasy 90s electronica before decor lays waste to the surroundings with a slamming remix that pushes into hard techno territory while retaining the wistful tones of the original.

lp reissues cut from the long-awaited 2010 digital remasters for the first time on vinyl and cd, original release from 1980. reissues of a legendary artist, pioneer of the french electronic music. the french proto-electro is making a come-back as we’ve seen it with the success of both cosmic machine compilations. their 7” “onyx” sold over 3 million copies worldwide. space art is behind the massive hits: “onyx”, “give me love”, “love in c minor” and more. one of half of the band, dominique perrier, is one of legend jean-michel jarre’s closest collaborators. recognized as a keyboard virtuoso, he worked on all jarre’s albums from “rendez-vous” (1986)to “oxygène 7-1” (1997) and still tours with him around the world. space art also toured with him in china in the early ’80s. alongside jean-michel jarre and cerrone they are one of the most influential bands that pioneered electro music.

while pheek may have been in operation for as long as anyone can remember within minimal house and techno, cleymoore has been most productive more recently thanks to his pluie/noir label. following on from last years seikou single on xquisite, here cleymoore and pheek link up to deliver some densely packed, production rich jams that keep the spirit of mid-00s clicks and cuts alive. the beats themselves may be slender slices that carry the energy of the tracks, but it s all in the infinitesimal details in between that the true magic of this music comes alive.

plant43 aka emile facey returns to cpu with his second ep for the sheffield imprint, and brings more of his ultra-refined electro to the table. surgical pads, robotic x0x beats and melodic basslines fuse the tracks into faceys signature science-lab machine funk. facey has been very busy since his last outing on cpu back in 2013, with an lp on shipwrec, and ep s on semantica, ac records and frustrated funk. he is showing no sign of slowing down and weightless in the void pushes his sound even further into the future

with jealous god, eerie and l.i.e.s on his c.v. they don t come much more approved that domenico crisci, but few would be prepared for the onslaught that leaps out of this first release on summa cum laude. the violinist champions distortion as a weapon, running everything through a fuzz pedal in a most unrelenting of fashions. its certainly not for the feint-hearted, and all the more powerful with it. meanwhile return would sound brutal in any other context were it not for what came before, all slamming, grubby drums and the noises that splay off them. blacklord them manages to push the vibe further back into the red with a searing throwdown to finish the ep off in a masterful display of intensity.

third in the vinyl only dj k series see s three more fantastic edits by the japanese based artist

in search of the perfect piece of veal to create yet another variation of the schnitzel, we ve sent out a team to new york and followed up on a lead regarding taking us all the way to the vibe alleys of kingston, jamaica. the results are just as confusing as they are satisfying, since it turns out that heat, tranquillity as well as endless traffic jams are all factors accountable for a nice and tender slice of deliciousness. the island s variation of up tempo deep tissue massages, as opposed to the confusingly more laidback style of the new york method both make for a great preparation, and are now served on both sides of this schnitzel before you. as always vinyl only and limited to a number that will most likely serve most of you, but probably not all of you.

voyeur aka benson herbert and leo picking, are the young pair that broke through back in february 2012 with a remix of bombay bicycle club. soon after kerri chandler invited them to release on his madhouse and madtech imprints. before long the uk duo were sharing booths with the likes of frankie knuckles, masters at work, dennis ferrer and cassy. i album sampler is a limited ep of the more dancefloor friendly tracks which kicks off with the captivating production lost in paris . the a2 sees long beach island feat. kerri chandler with rippling drums and numerous mesmerising nuances merged together. on the flip patron saint generates a low-slung groove from start to finish, that features label head honcho kerri chandler. last but not least sees the tribal percussion and soaring synths of nina

supported by oscar mulero, jonas kopp, the advent, zadig, blawan, pfirter. the fifth release on dimi angelis angls label is here, featuring four original tracks. opener eye of the storm v1 is all about its hook. powerful yet playful, its loopy nature masks raw, driving techno hiding underneath. a foundation that is also very much present in electric tree. the second banger on this side of the ep almost sounds like analog equipment in conversation with itself. trippy, moving and constantly changing. on the flipside, speed boarding is growling lead synth propels the track forward, opening up and showing a glimpse of its contained grit every now and then. closing down the four-tracker, eye of the storm v2 trades some of the raw feel of its a-side counterpart for a more introvert, subtle vibe, making it.

the motorcity boys are back with loveit003 a fresh sounding 4 tracker strongly reflecting the diversity of styles found at their parties. lds kicks thing off with 909 to heaven, a jacking and balearic workout with a rootstrax, chicago style bassline keeping the floor hypnotised until the small hours of the morning. snares, kicks & rhodes is a more laid back jam. lazy warm pads and a slow winding sub bass rise and fall intermittently only to be interrupted by a lo-fi distorted bass that snaps you right out of that trance. nico brun opens the flip side with an absolute banger, hazily reminiscent of that 90’s warehouse rave. lds and nico brun close the ep with an atmospheric collaboration perfect to start or end the night with. splashy beats keep up the footwork whilst pulsating synth sounds slowly wind together and drop with a beautifully crafted sample that’s guaranteed to bring some sexyness back to the dance floor. this ep will definitely be a regular addition to your record bag to spread those warm summer party sounds. bruno farace early support: xdb (echochord / dolly): debut ep? congrats! end monologue is my favourite.

having previously turned out some refined club tracks for friendly neighbourhood label banoffee pies, christian jay comes to idle hands for his debut solo 12inch. as revealed in our past support of artists such as i.a. bericochea and matt karmil, an appreciation of the finer end of the minimal house and techno spectrum weighs heavy at idle hands hq, and christian embodies everything good about the micro-genre. the stylistic approach on this single is consistent across both tracks, fusing shuffling, 2-step fuelled drum patterns with blissful atmospheric content in a most natural of ways. on 117 this manifests in a more flamboyant end result peppered with playful hi-hat tones and delicate melodic licks, while on contrail the mood is resolutely low-end focused with some choice bass touches in amongst the tightly wound funk of the beat. what makes jay s efforts stand out is their immersive finish, using dexterous doses of dub processing to create a quintessentially bristolian mood while retaining the razor-sharp edges of upfront european minimal. its a tone that speaks to limbering up at the start of the party, or shaking down deep into the morning. that said, we could listen to this all day and night.

the kloom surfaced one night in dusseldorf through members of autarkic, naduve, stabil elite and more. this is what they have to say about it: -kloom, in hebrew, nothing. the kloom were not a one-day-band. they did it because it was there, all around them. whether we like it or not, the kloom surrounds us, envelopes us, makes us confess that it really exists. and you, sitting now in front of this screen, you are literally touching the kloom, an illusion that in its exceptional complexity makes you feel like you have the option of joining the other 20.000 newcomers. who will be credited for future kloom productions? no one knows. is there even a point in that sort of thing? it just doesnt really matter, because its too fun to bath in kloom

obsidian mornings,
sniffing quivering needs.
dawn keeps falling,
entraps me as before,
but from thy solitary grace
thou comest now no more.

svs returns with a supremely crafted 5 track ep from munich s david goldberg. channeling early 2000s electronica and more contemporary styles, goldberg delivers a solid slice of sonic pleasure.

mr. g extends his ever growing discography with another full length album. “a good place..?” comes as a 2x12” package which includes 10 tracks which range from signature mr. g style drum track cuts with the usual vocal cuts to somewhat more “dubbed out” bits and funky disco tainted dance floor bits. “a good place..?” proves to be the perfect follow up to last year’s “night on the town?” with mr. g showcasing his versatile skill set whilst thoroughly molding the tracklist into the feel of an album.

correspondant can finally reveal the release of the remixes for man powers debut lp, which was released last year on correspondant. a year in the making, the remix package features artists and friends hand-picked by both jennifer cardini and man power himself. disco halals moscoman remixes the baggy splendour of beilsteiner, creating a rolling and belching extended opus more focused toward the peak time dance floor. hivern discs jmii takes hunting swan and turns it inside out, exploring space with a cerebral, schizophrenic quality. alternatively, pale blue (mike simonetti) takes boys beware and re-imagines it as an aggressive drum workout. completing the package, suade, the artist who also mastered the original album, replaces ten’s balearic leanings with an idm sensibility, yet still retains the optimism of the original track. all 4 remixes manage to exist as distinct works in their own right, while paying homage to the magpie approach of the original long player.

its the music of the space that extends between oceans and mountain slopes. its the music of the space that is much bigger and much more adventurous than the four walls of a club look like. its the latest record on acker, and it orbits around a song from il civetto. the band from berlin is a wonderfully multicultural bunch. their sound is reminiscent of gypsy, folk or swing, but at the same time it doesnt really fit any of these labels. liberté ana is a perfect example. monolink turns this track into a groovy downbeat tune that vibrates much higher than its low bpm count - the perfect soundtrack for laid-back afternoons or afterhours. pophop does what he does best: party. however, between the catchy bassline and the tight percussions of his remix theres still a lot of space for the soul of liberté ana. umami goes even further and creates an ecstatic banger that has everything it takes to be played during the prime time on the dance floor.

lord of the isles, a.k.a. neil mcdonald, has spent the better part of a decade steadily producing and releasing beautiful music. the esp institute has always wholeheartedly believed in neil’s work ethic and his journey as an artist who constantly refines his vision, and when we inevitably approached in hopes of working together, we were enamoured by the sheer breadth and depth of work he had in progress’. there are two types of artists. one internalises their process, endlessly perfecting their work while finding the endpoint a massive hurdle, in turn they produce immaculate yet very little art. the other is continuously inspired, so full of ideas they can barely work fast enough to articulate them all. the art becomes by-product of their larger trajectory and not just a collection of endpoints. lord of the isles seems to be both, always in an evolving state of process where the work is constantly shed to make way for the new layer growing beneath, yet he holds his cards closely, cherry picking when and with whom he releases his art into the world. neil is simply prolific. he shared with us a vast catalog of unheard beauty, which over a long span of time was collaboratively shaped into his debut album “in waves”. the title speaks to neil’s process both intimately and from afar, it speaks to the emotional ebb and flow of the music itself, and ultimately it speaks to the listener. ahead of the album’s release, we are proud to share with you the single ‘weh-in’, a mesmerizing arpeggio melody that opens and closes, purrs and barks, and plays nicely with its percussive accompaniment over more than 10 minutes. this lengthy single version of the track is joined by a dark and stormy, exclusive non-album cut entitled ‘pik’, as well as a big room rave remix by esp institute resident ian blevins, which take us to a slightly more frantic place while retaining the euphoric essence of the original.

this excellent four-track offering is the italian pairings third ep on curle, following on from blue aconite in 2013 and same mistake twice last year, which garnered them support from techno heavyweights such as sven väth, laurent garnier and efdemin.

fuse co-founder enzo siragusa steps up for productions duties once more with his hard steppers ep. flexin kicks things off with a pared down groover of a track simplicity is the key here, all the elements combining beautifully for a deadly hypnotic head nodder. jump up once again harnesses enzo s jungalist past with a typical rave-inflected, monstrous b-line underpinning the brisk percussive nature of the track, a real treat for lovers of the black wax as the track is strictly vinyl only.
