by all accounts, whiskey disco has matured. each release unique, but compiled meticulously to meet some of the highest standards in the edit community. wd45 continues the trajectory with 4 tracks combining equal parts soul, boogie and disco. rastanils cuts up cheesy obscurity to reveal heavy disco vibes—this edit was smashed by mcde at numerous festivals in 2015. next up, the intriguing corsican brothers reappear after a 5 year absence from whiskey disco with a sliced version of i like it, beefed up bass and space on the platters with a touch of dub. side b exemplifies the weirdness only a b-side can… albions disco chopper is a stretched and phased party jam that does not stop. move to the inside for the lengthy and epic big time, a 9 minute exploration into rocking disco roots, courtesy of the eponymously named blaxploitation movie from 1977.

matt edwards pyramids of mars label is ready to unleash a fifth release, this time featuring three subtle but high impact slo-disco tracks from the boss himself under his rekid moniker. by now edwards is rightly acclaimed for many different things: the stewardship of his tastemaking labels, his own elongated club cuts for the likes classic & rekids and his more experimental collaborations, not to mention his critically acclaimed lp on the legendary soul jazz label. here he showcases his fun and functional side with a trio of tantalising tracks aimed squarely at the rump.

ein füllhorn elektronischer klangwelten auf einem album - kris klayton sind stilgrenzen fremd.

we dont know so many things about h330... except he seems to be from paris and kept sending us dope music since 2 years...the only thing we know is that the artist behind this name got strong skills, a big knowledge of house music, and a lot of soul... here are the 2 original tracks ( and an edit of one of them) that we decided to release on concrete music. definitely not the last ones..

***** big support from raresh !
elliot sindall and oswaldo nicoletti are jäfar, a duo split between paris and london. their first record on fragil musique may be single sided, as so often with the label, but quality is not at stake. marzsia is an amazingly well produced dance trip. the broken drum line is playing around the loop, slightly messing with the heavy feet taping feel. meanwhile, the vocal and instrumental samples subtly come in and out, giving a depth and spirituality to the piece. the record comes with an engravement artwork on its b side and a debut collaboration with louise ernandez photographies for the cover artwork

following the recent acclaimed release of his “space” lp, on which bruno “patchworks” hovart transformed himself into patchworks galactic project for a fantastic musical trip, favorite recordings proudly presents this new 2 tracks remix ep. on the a side, rising uk producer ny*ak provides a blowing version of “surrounded by the gobblins”. what do the letters stand for? why the asterisk?” you ask. the origin of the asterisk has something to do with donating dates of birth on family trees, from back in the medieval times. in music, an asterisk denotes when a sustain pedal should be lifted. ny – new york? ak – alaska? is it something to do with the three stooges? nyak nyak nyak… it leaves the mind thirsty for answers... in reality andrew scott, the man behind ny*ak, banged his computer keyboard in frustration one day – and out came ny*ak. if that’s taken the shine off it a little, we’re not worried. listen to any of andrews tracks and we guarantee you’ll be drawn straight back in, but this time – deeper. for the b side, underground house producer kool vibe also delivers a brilliant rendition of “gobblins are gone”. producer & owner of kv records (paris), record collector since 1993, and definitely part of the new deep house music scene that is emerging from france at the moment, laurent, aka kool vibe, was born in paris in 1970. kool vibe s music reflects the best of the 90s house music sound that he manages to love so much. in 2011 and 2012, his first releases have been cult tracks out on “my love is underground” and “traxx underground” imprints.

on soma ep warszaw based duo mech installs four tracks in the cryptic reduced style of thomas brinkmann’s max/ernst series. the guys deliver an audio work production on resopal that hovers among forms such as techno, minimalism, and ambient. on all four tracks the elements are limited but the output bounces and rattles within - moving and exploring into more experimental zones of minimalism like plastikman, brinkmann, or former mille plateaux. a damn solid four tracker whether you know the math or not.

yachting club, if the name evokes a leisurely walk on the deck of a boat, the first ep of yxc reveals the depth of an imaginary journey that does not lack elegance. released in september 2015, captain s memories invites us to a timeless journey into the intricacies of sound, which combines, post industrial clatter of a fantastic boat, unceasing sea rolls, and the harmonies of souvenir.the slow and hypnotic groove, between brokenbeat, abstract, downtempo and film music gives way to reverie but often reveals a delicate nostalgia. quick descriptions of tracks : “havre” describes the encounter between our main character and a local tribe, the broken beat leaves places to their chant both welcoming and threatening.“ancient horror”. on a disturbing 90’s hip hop beat, synths and brass sample narrates the epic fight between the captain and a mythical beast. “captain’s memories”: this beatless track, punctuated by agonizing strings invites us to journey with the captain’s nostalgia, the sea he traveled, the women he met..

ever find yourself on a long escalator in a train station? an undistinguishable robot voice is coming from the intercom. you move effortlessly on this machine, yet you do not understand the sounds coming towards you. this is the essence of vestibule. followed by the ecstatic rhythms on rising, these two make a colorful a side in contrast to the black and grey of solpara’s previous releases. the b side features two remixes, one by the prolific lestasi delloro and the other by the newest member of the booma roster: belgium lights. lestasi delloro questions the four to the floor pattern of the original track and pops it upside down, like the negative of a photograph, giving it an unexptected bounce with marvelously swung hi hats. belgium lights takes a deeper approach to the remix and stretches it out to almost 9 minutes, pulling us down the escalator, at a faster pace and through a darker tunnel.

unequal is a label founded by anselm from frankfurt am main in 2015. ranging from deep, spaced out analog techno to more droning, industrial rough sounds, the aim is to give an impression of whats going on in the ffm underground these days. sophisticated broken beats and modular synths are essential for this project. unequal means not to be just one specified style but an open-minded platform to express a diverse view of music within the techno genre. with his first ep called -gral-, anselm delivers some cold, moody techno tracks with spherical soundscapes as an connecting element. the title track on the a side is a journey through wide open extramundane synth layers and bubbling acid drops covered by a voluminous bass. b1 is a bit more conventional one with driving hi-hats and slightly jacking beat whereas b2 is four-to-the-floor trippy stripped-down minimalism for the heads.

the legend of sir joe, from chicago to the hague, 303 bass lines, junos pads and big mamas speech samples. powerful and danceable pack made up by six jackin cosmic techno house tracks.

repress 2016 !! last year stockholm based producer hnny provided us one of the biggest releases on local talk to date. now he’s back with a follow up, yearning, a straight up jackin’ house track to prove he’s not just one trick pony. dirtytwo got lot’s of music planned for 2013 on local talk. first up is a remix of hnny’s ”for the very first time”. this particular version started out as a secret weapon which they guys used in the liveset. mats & tooli heard it and decided that their version had to be released. simply put, the dirtytwo midas touch version is pure gold.

tectonic label boss pinch returns to home territory with his latest tales from the darkside. hard, uncompromising beats, sculpted for twisted dancefloors. lead track ‘screamer’ sees recent collaborator and grime-legend, riko dan, pick up the mic to voice pinch’s industrial garage style rhythm, true to terror-form. complementing the darkside sonics, riko’s savage delivery threatens from the offset, with no let-up, no sign of weakness. not for the faint hearted. flip for ‘no justice’, seeing pinch on solo production duties providing a sub-heavy pounding rhythm, twisting an almost ragga style beat in dark dub territory. police sirens wail around calamitous thunder and atmospherics before the beat pounds in. second drop brings warped basslines to the forefront, pushing things further down the rabbit hole. ‘screamer’ has been played on bbc radio 1 on the benji b show, also featured on mary-anne hobbs’ 6 music show. dj support from the likes of mumdance, loefah & many more.

its not often you get to work with vocalists of sarah jay s calibre (massive attack/presence) so here at pft we decided to enlist some heavyweight talent to make the most of this opportunity. kicking off the second ep we have the one and only rob mello (classic/defected/crosstown rebels) on remix duties

borrowed identity, the man who makes music non stop, when not travelling the world! borrowed identity, the man who lives in the geman black forest, maybe thats why his music sounds so black! borrowed identity, the man who already released two superb eps on quintessentials and wont stop! borrowed identity, the man who enjoys nature as much as playing techno, house or disco!

2016 repress!!!! slow life finally get out the first release from their label, albeit not before the second one dropped! skittering, jersey-edged numbers sit alongside juno-acid bangers and a wailing sax detroit cut. killer!

le loup prowls a lot by night with his bougs, in château d eau area or in some other parisian african districts. the 2 original tracks seek to express the moods of those meanderings in the sweaty clubs and dark bars, where the players and pimps order champagne magnum bottles and dance collé serré against the walls with some hot chicks. forget the eiffel tower and the champs elysées: this is the real underground side of paris. dewalta was just back from an us tour when he started to work on the champagne magnum remix. but one remix was definitely not enough compared to all the inspiration he had absorbed during his travel. he finally offered us 2 champagne magnum remixes: one filled in with the soul of lake michigan, and the other chilled by the cold wind of illinois. 4 tracks for dance, sweat and feed your soul.

2016 repress , with this ep reilg makes his debut on his own label, lofile. much more subdued than the first ep, lfr 002s a-side appears almost minimalistic, touched with melancholy - going into a deeper state of mind with its bright, clear and distinct accents - like the first rays of dawn, breaking through its background. its like a dark bokeh, rough and raw, clearly influenced by deep techno tracks.its sounds create a mood close to labels like dial and giegling, geared to the morning hours.the b-side remixes by edward and tilman tausendfreund become much more peak time fitting.edwards soulitude remix with a touch of electro strikes with deep and iridescent gravitational attraction.the derailed remix by tilman tausendfreund tops it off,with its acid bassline and house inspired sound. light and bright like a summer breeze, its impossible to not be touched and drawn towards its timbre.

new yorks not so secret weapon reade truth is back for his solo ep on n s y d e. after the well received split ep together with release brother mobach on nsyde008, which received quite some attention from the technocircle not at least, due to the support of a man called marcel dettmann, the true new york techno at its best is taking place on nsyde014! check!

spanish dj & producer, eduardo de la calle, has continued to explore the outer limits of the electronic palette since his cadenza records debut back in 2013, clocking up stellar releases for the likes of mule musiq, hivern discs, be as one and nonplus over the last couple of years. eduardo returns to cadenza in february with the ‘anima animus’ single, coupling two tracks of refined techno for your listening pleasure. taking inspiration from the psychologist/philosopher carl jung’s concept of anima and animus (and do take the time to explore this), eduardo marries arpeggiated synths and melodic chords with a soft kick and tantalizing hats, producing a slick piece of reflective techno that’s alive with melody and groove. on ‘north pole’, we get more of the signature ‘de la calle’ sound, subaquatic bass and searing, melancholic strings play out over a steady mechanical beat, nodding its head not only to the detroit masters but also to the european new wave sounds that influenced the motor city artists in the first instance. another assured single release from eduardo that will further solidify his place in the current electronic music landscape.

2015 brought the trilogy of the dancer to ressort. now the labels core artists each remix their tracks in circles. while all of them aim for the dancefloor, ressorts core artists could not sound more diverse. ekserd and border one aim for the raw, the groovy and the pure while array access and glos lose themselves more and more in sound design and dreaminess. since the many aspects of art and music form a cycle of ying and yang, each artist shows the other an interpretation of what he might have missed before. be it a complete stomper or a light absorbing epos, a deep and groovy house and techno hybrid or a journey into the depths of space every artist made one of the well known tracks released on previous eps his own. it is a very colourful package that bares every moment the label tried to cover in it s series before.

the evening wind carries the sound of distant music. raindrops running down the window like glistening pearls. those small moments, unimposing yet so intense and unforgettable. its this kind of moments that makes the sound of dolph stand out. the pounding heaviness of the kickdrum and the sharp smack of the clap might be omnipresent – but its not these rhythmic elements that make the magic happen. rather, its those small moments of understatement: dubby delays, whirling through the air like leaves. long filter modulations, morphing through the soundscape like wafts of fog. colourful harmonies, popping up like sudden flowers. a 10 inch vinyl comes with the mellow stimulation named free of thoughts as well as x, a collaboration by dolph and levolt.

act-fact records did it again! for the 4th and last ep of the first year, we chosen to release a 100% romanian album, produced by the talented sorin milea, dj and founder of -deep mix bucharest- . the excellent remixes comes by 2 of the greatest producers of the moment radu mirica and gri. this album is the demonstration that the imagination in music has not limits!

mit seinem debütalbum look up im gepäck kommt der weisse us-rapper mod sun aus minnesota zu uns auf tour, nachdem er in den staaten die letzte vans warped tour absolvierte. mod sun s style ist eine entspannte mixtur aus hiphop, r&b, g-funk und pop, die er nach ersten eps, mixtapes und kollabos (u.a. mit schoolboy q) nun erstmal mit zahlreichen gästen wie machine gun kelly, jody highroller oder g-eazy auf albumlänge präsentiert.

almost exactly three years after nr&, a project uniting &me’s and rampa’s production with the voice of new york disco-house-siren nomi, dropped their debut ep, we finally can announce a new chapter in this ongoing transatlantic menage. this very “spoken for” ep is comprised of two new tracks, that again fuse songwriting with floor-demands and showcase the same crackling and pulse quickening passion that instantly has become nr&’s trademark. so here’s the evidence – a long distance relationship is not necessarily doomed to get boring after a while. “taste like” on a might be conceived as the club-affair of those two new joints. a tune indulging in self-control, extending the pre- eruptive moment of excitement to track length. there is nomi’s unmistakeable sexed up oration, flanked by an affirmative thunderstorm of claps, then a bass heavy bridge, overflowing into a noise brushed finale. altogether a tasty flavour carrier for an effective floor heating. “spoken for” is not only the title track, but also the hymn coming out of the flipside ambush. there is no kick necessary to underpin what nomi’s charismatic croon is laying down. therefore a wise choice to let the arrangement of interspersed field recordings, percussive details and piano- and synth-decoration exercise in unobtrusiveness. safe to say, this tune will refine many future peaktimes anyway.

a family move to germany in the 90s expanded his horizons and musical repertoire but his homebase sound remained the same tech house and techno with groovy rhythms and bang out beats. as an artist, he has released on drumcode, cocoon recordings, soma, intec, bek audio, traumschallplatten, trapez, herzblut and bedrock. his tracks are always a mixture between dancefloor moovers including groovy rhythms and big basslines. mark reeve presents his second release on drumcode, run back, a four track ep crammed with heavy hitting kick drums and his signature big basslines. the dark sounds and heavy textures are typical of reeve and hes showing no sign of slowing down yet. four tracks of brooding techno, this ep is one not to be missed.

heralding from brighton, married (production) couple sam and tracy presented classic with some music classic was very familiar with. not only is sam a member of the legendary gramme, but has also featured on a number of past luke solomon originals for classic…so are already part of the extended family. classic immediately warmed to the music and the music already felt at home. looking for the right remixer begun - classic played the tracks to long-time member of crazy p - a certain mr basejam and immediately leapt to them and remixed not one – but both of the records on the ep as he loved them both so much. the result is a meeting of minds sounds and words.

a bit over a year after lehults inaugural relase, eddie nesss solo debut is - if not the ending of a full circle - a release with one foot firmly in the short history of our label and the other, already, two steps ahead in the future.

hot on the heels of his brilliant superfoods trilogy of albums on bbe, australian production powerhouse inkswel returns with a brand new solo effort entitled unity 4 utopia . stellar collaborators steve spacek, recloose, crazy p, lay-far, kid sublime, mark de clive-lowe & colonel red all make an appearance help to make inkswel s quest for musical utopia a reality, and the album certainly does not disappoint. as the man himself puts it: -we need to work together if we want happiness and furthermore if we want positive change- this is mirrored in music, collaboration being key-. echoes of early hip hop, 80 s boogie, disco and house can all clearly be heard, all woven together by inkwel s uniquely soulful, futuristic yet vintage production style. drawn together by an abundantly positive feeling, vocal performances and beats are all faultlessly smooth and highly polished, but somehow the album retains a real sense of fun. already touring tirelessly, unity 4 utopia could well be the project which elevates mr inkswel from an underground phenomenon into a household name.

nun wird -hotel ambient- als eigenständiges werk neu aufgelegt, und es ist erstmals in seiner vollständigen version erhältlich. so sind drei stücke neu hinzugekommen (-aerial-, -spaired-, -may 04 two-), andere titel sind erstmals in ihrer vollen spiellänge verfügbar. diese titel wurden bei der damaligen bonus-disc stark gekürzt, weil die spielzeit des cd-formates schlichtweg nicht ausreichte. auch liegt das werk nun erstmals in einer 3fach-lp 180g-vinyl edition vor . -hotel ambient- gilt bei vielen fans als starkes konzept-werk. bei späteren werken wie etwa -wait for me- wiederholte moby die idee ein ambient-album dem original beizufügen.

following the debut ep from label owners julien sandre and konstress, blind box comes back with the second release, signed by utrecht-based hot young producer julian alexander. established member of the infamous slapfunk crew, this bad boy caught the attention of the biz with his powerful old school flavoured minimalism, by the likes of people like brawther and tristan da cunha who packed a whole ep for their dungeon meat. when julian meets blind box, his deepest side shows up. two stunning bass heavy journey and a full analogue locked groove on b3 to define the entrancing vibes you ll find out of the box. on the a2 track we got remix courtesy of one of the finest producers of the underground scene, samuel andre madsen aka s. a. m. (oscillat, delaphine, fathers & sons productions, concrete). the spiritual side of the amazing mandar project reshapes lizhi with a concentrated beam of deepness, surfing through some serious 909 beats. blind box team also got a treatment for all the way , adding to the b side the deep and groovy sound that marked them out so far. once again, a release you re definitely not gonna miss.

the white noise backdrop of modern life means that without some fine-tuning on our part, even established and progressive artists can become elusive on occasion. but since musical creativity involves a healthy drive to self-determination, and often a keen collaborative spirit, out of earshot doesn’t necessarily mean out of action.
certainly not in the case of junior boys, who’ve readied a new album, big black coat, via city slang. a strikingly energised and intuitively dynamic set that reconnects them to their techno roots without sacrificing their soulful pop nous or riding a revivalist wave, it’s also shaped by what jeremy greenspan and matt didemus have been doing in the five years since their last release.
the 180 gram vinyl release includes a download code.

not much is known about manchester based producer belly, his online profile merely states live artist & vocalist from the uk. what we do know is that he releases records on his own imprint belly dance uk and that the 3rd instalment in this series (produced by la s seth cobblepot) is yet again hard hitting and dark. following on from the previous 2 records, featuring timothy j fairplay & headman respectively, he has invited 2 more underground powerhouses, brassica & thinnen, to contribute their takes on his new ep simply entitled water
