the legendary 1969 beatles album - remastered from the original stereo analogue master tapes, pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl.

with the homespun warmth of his album still keeping us toasty as the temperature drops in the northern hemisphere, dave aju offers up two choice cuts from heirlooms to receive surgical treatment at the hands of dear friends and respected practitioners in our beloved corner of electronic music.

bastard jazz is proud to present the debut ep from brussels based production duo eric p & luigi aka monkeyrobot. coming to light through their work as 74 miles away (melting pot music) and tall black guy, who selected their standout >basement infusion< track to be on his tempo dreams compilation album (released in june on bastard jazz), and alliance between the label and m.r. seemed natural.
here on their self titled 12 inch, monkeyrobot deliver four diverse tracks that showcase their skills behind the boards, the keys, with a keen ear for the dancefloor. kicking things off, >brick stomach< is a synth-heavy four-to-the-floor 120 bpm joint that comes off like a floating points visit back in time to 1980s detroit with its rolling snares, arpeggiating synth bassline and cloudy pads. next up, >northern light< filters shimmering space disco vibes through big, thumping instrumental hip-hop drums and moody analog bass. on the flip, >rose gris< takes things in a funkier direction at 100bpm with its syncopated drums, irresistible lead, squelching bassline and all manner of synthesizer explorations. rounding off the ep is >last days<, which still manages to inject a funky 80s analog sound into its melancholy downtempo vibes.

it is a cold dark winter – snow is lying everywhere. simon12345 and the lazer twins are heading up north into a little wooden house in the northern parts of denmark. they will live there for the next weeks and build up a temporary studio in this secluded cottage. simon has got a handful of sketches with him. musical states of mind and conceptual games he developed over the last years. basically the idea is to develop something truly unique and powerful – although none of them knows how that will sound exactly or what will happen in particular during this time. it is not even clear who plays which instrument, who will do what…nothing is set. the only thing clear is that they have things to say, things that have been burning in them for so long now. tell me. how can (mostly) instrumental music suggest a way of life? how can you criticize without pointing at something particular? how can music transport you into place of quietness and self reflection?

>a correction< is the new album from fieldhead and continues the dusty, bereft sounds of previous releases – they shook hands for hours (home assembly 2009) and riser (gizeh 2010). 2010 saw paul elam depart the uk for vancouver, canada and there is no doubt that the vast northern candian landscapes have influenced the new fieldhead material. the familiar tape hiss, scratchy, decaying atmospheres remain in place but with a correction elam has managed to sculpt a vaster, more expansive palate of sounds. minimalistic on first listen, a correction is a record which slowly unfurls on multiple listens to reveal subtle melodies and details that dont distract from the overal ambience but in fact set apart fieldheads music from many other, safer artists within the genre.
limited edition 180 gram vinyl, includes code for free mp3 download of the full album.

a classically trained pianist from the age of six, jarrah mccleary grew up in the sticky heat of the northern territory, australia. his previous project, the dirty secrets saw the band working between australia and london with iconic producer and engineer, nick terry (klaxons, libertines). after working on ideas for a new record for over two years, in early 2011, mccleary declared a new album and boarded the airplane, bound for los angeles. between splashes of yacht rock, trop-pop and nods to peter gabriel (thanks to the iconic 80s yamaha dx7 synth), a short summer experience in the city where dreams are made lead to tracks tinged with hints of hopeful house music strewn with the sleaziness of venice beach and too much free poured tequila. and so, panama was born. magic is a modern summer anthem. and what better way to celebrate the party season than some bonus remix action by the worlds most avid dance enthusiasts? the sydney-based quartet join forces with dfa heavyweights and panama fans, midnight magic and gavin russom (the crystal ark) on remixing duties for their debut release.

stryker matthews is a new york city based producer and dj by way of northern california by way of southern california. drawing influences from most of the continents with people living on them, he works to create rhythmically focused music that moves hips and spills drinks. stryker grew up in san juan capistrano, ca playing guitar and drums in a string of bands who mastered the fine art of garage-based rocking before moving to the bay area and finding an interest in club music as a new class of producers with fresh takes on dance production began to flood the world wide web. upon completing his first set of original tracks, he caught the ear of dubstep pioneer, skream, who signed the tunes to his imprint, disfigured dubz.

already a classic! wonderfull. ric mcclelland & sean grieves seven music imprint are proud to welcome kastil to their ever growing family, for its 16th release. hailing from vitoria in northern spain, kastil is a new and exciting name in the burgeoning deep house and disco scene. his love of vintage sounds and equipment is ever present in his music. from beatdown jazzy funk to straight up house grooves, his productions ooze class and versatility! the >keep it simple< ep does exactly what it says on the tin. a quality 4 tracker that relies more on precision sound design and less on modern studio trickery. this is a release that will easily stand the test of time and sound just as good on a home listening system as it will on a big club rig!

from universal rejection, the northern cell of resistance that gave us last years acid bomb >le coq< by arab league, comes disappearer.
operating from the suburbs outside of stockholm, disappearer has not entered the techno game to find out how its gonna be played. on >now you see me, now you dont< he dictates right away. with its deadly linear pulse and rising and falling oscillators, >now you see me, now you dont< is a steady-handed techno shocktreatment of the nervous system, exemplifying how it should be done in 2012.

his music is like a waterfall on house – organic, constantly running,sparkling and fresh.it could be the background tune for magazine beauties in st. tropez,it feels like a drive through californian valleys,or it may as well be the soundtrack tune for a full moon party on the greek islands - yes, it might indeed just be the result of many a club year. just as well, however, we can look at it as some sort of a flip side to those busy and dark times of dull and hard work back in the days, something to simply relax andm make you smile, after a hard days work, with a cigarette in one hand and a smooth drink in the other… imagine a piece of roxy music, a dancefloor in northern italy - some time in the late 80s - and joe smooths promised land.see what i mean?you picture this?well,in that case you have a pretty good idea of robertos serenades style.the original version of tell me feat.kholi is taken from the upcoming album dawn.

we present you the newly born imprint outernational recordings. the kick off for this unique vinyl series is by basque county native kastil who sets the right tone with three wonderful disco edits at a mid-tempo / slomo pace. since uploading these tracks to his soundcloud page, the feedback has been enormous. side a contains the long, slow and loopy back to philadelphia, where kastil cleverly plays with the vocals and delay and creates a highly tense build up. theres no doubt that some large players in the very popular disco edit culture will play this one out. on the b1 side you find the track smd. a track which received great feedback by some key figures on soundcloud. this track is the ultimate pre-lude for the summer. fortunately, this is being released just early enough to enjoy this during the european and northern american summer. with again beautiful vocals floating through the track, this track definitely reminds one of a hot day in the local park. the b2 track is called rolls royce. perfect as the last track of this release since its a long edit which ends with a very atmospheric piano solo that keeps on floating through the last few minutes of the track. all and all, these edits will definitely make some heads turn after the date of release. supported by: cosmic boogie, dicky trisco, the legendary 1979 orchestra, sleazy beats recordings, ben la desh, 78 edits, osvaldo wilson, mannmademusic, gitchell moore

the debut release of new artist seltene erden. title track of a1 is dubby beatdown house, this song like a theo parrish meets the orb. >bayan obo< of a2 is taken from enjoy the silence. its peaceful ambient sound. on the b side, >kvanefjeld< is early chicago sound. if you like the music of omar s, you will love this song. >hoidas lake< is also ambient, very classical.

shocks is a project by northern italian dj/producer wanmhope with his occasional partner-in-crime max dolphy. while fundamentally simple in approach, the dynamic maintains a deceivingly complex harmony and disharmony rendering a visceral, sometimes violent listening experience. waves of feedback, distortion, frantic guitar noodling, vocal collage and field recordings soar like an ominous cloud over primitive, hedonistic rhythms. this, the first of two shocks vinlys preceding the full-length, sets the tone, serving as your marinade before youre thrown to the lions

reissue - cass mccombs, singer-songwriter born in northern california in 1977 and currently residing somewhere in that state, is set to release wit’s end, his fifth-and-a-half album and third on domino, on april 11th. the result of two years recording in various homes and studios in california, new york, new jersey and chicago, wit’s end was produced by cass with ariel rechtshaid, with whom he also created catacombs.sounds that conjure the colors purple and black, this is his darkest record to date. it seems he is going deeper into the mania of a man buried alive inside his self-made catacombs, banging the stone walls, crying to be let out, and enjoying the quiet away from the outside world. however, he is not a man afraid of his own shadow, for in this environment of complete darkness, no shadows can be cast. this is a world of total feeling. here, words become a catalyst away from the slavery of arbitrary thought and toward feeling.
