the central executives what can we say ? not much as it turns out - the generally very forthcoming golf channel crew are remaining tight-lipped about the architects of this, frankly mind-blowing debut long-player from this new nyc collective. a walk in the dark is exactly that, a situationist song-sheet & sonic chaperone to guide us through the back street escapism these troubled times demand. from gently over-driven punk funkin mascara stained hymns, to house that has been thoroughly smudged to the edges of its live music incorporating limits. sitting very comfortably, in a moment of stewed elevation alongside sound signature style machine jams, bare bones vocal led improvisations, discordant arthur russell moments & the distorted reflections of roots house that run to the very core of the big apple. a drop-jaw debut then, that wears its influences proudly, but takes them somewhere entirely new.

you have to repeat the truth always, even because of the error around, it is preached, not by individuals but by the masses. so the madness is invisible when it adopted sufficiently large proportions. in this case we are connected: i am you and you are me! would i lie to you? who does not know the truth is a fool. but who knows it and calls it a lie, is a criminal. but one day you will have to admit officially that what we baptized truth, have an even greater illusion than the world of dreams. do you want to be a part of the silly people. available as limited edition red vinyl.

the new year starts with the welcome news that the cosmologist returns with episode three of the cosmology series. trip 1 started life as a tribute to 70s radical firebrands the last poets and their 1977 clarion call to arms, *its a trip*. a loose and ever changing collective, the initial line up was formed on may 19.1968 to mark malcolm xs birthday, having all met at east wind, a harlem based writers work shop. they took their name from a revolutionary south african poet keorapetse kgositisile who rightly prophesized that the talking would soon give way to the persuasiveness of the gun. continuing that thought, civil rights for african americans was very much the beat of the last poets, a cause they would champion and indeed, were not afraid to back up their mighty words with direct action.

fifth single from the duo altarboy. side a:the marathon thing is slow and esoteric track with a long break in which the roman producers rise and fall of bpm. the song takes you on a world reminiscent of memory lanes horror movies. the b-side blackmail is a techno bomb with references to the early 90s. wonder wet could not be more clear than that. the sound of this label is solid as marble.

dream states of lust and lucidity, slow to speaks latest reissue of house musics halcyon years comes courtesy of mood ii swings visionary lem springsteen. originally released on the eightball sublabel empire state records in 1994, these excursionary landmarks saw springsteen bid farewell to his usual club-saturated exercises in queeny house euphoria for a hallucinatory breach into a secret realm of desire, where the whispers of a long-forgotten hunger meld with the floating synth-work of a true practitioner of the sacred art of club music. this is the soundtrack to the chill-out room of your unconsciouss kaleidoscopic sex dream, the sweet synth lines of springsteens ritual music still floating in your mind as you awake, alas, a little too soon. fear not: this dyonisian masterpiece is once more available thanks to the good spirits at dope jams, who remind you, *whatever the eye sees and covets, let the hand grasp!* not without asking (or paying) first, of course.

the name sabota comes from the infamous area in nelson bc, where kids congregate late at night to smoke weed, hook up and watch the sun come up. both max ulis and robbie slade (of humans) both have (if somewhat indirect) roots in the area, making it a fitting concept for their collaboration. with the release of next time on discobelle, sabota immediately caught the attention of journalists and fans alike, and before any kind of formal release they have played sxsw, sled island in calgary, vancouver international jazz festival with nosaj thing, and symbiosis gathering. the two full-time music collaborators have been making ethereal goodness.

geschmeidig faedelt madmotormiquel seine audiospuren durch genres und stilistische andeutungen. dabei gelingt es ihm, das scheinbar gegensaetzliche zu harmonischer stimmigkeit zu vertwisten. etwa hip hop und gradlinige tanzmusik. für den titel daddy are you proud verteilt der berliner produzent jazzige piano-samples und poetischen rap zwischen wummerndem bass und treibenden hi hats. mollono.bass setzt die stimme des originals nur sparsam ein, angelt sich für seinen remix die hintergruendigen synthesizer-akkorde und lotet ihre melodioese tiefe aus.. sie erweist sich als verdammt groß. im zwielicht hypnotischer flaechengebilde zeichnet sich mit minimaler und doch extrem schwungvoller rhythmik ein klangbild namens recall ab, und im spiel zwischen trippigem beat-gefrickel und verträumtem klavier-geklimper entsteht die dynamische ironie von too much money not enough style. eingaengige grooves aus faszinierenden zwischenwelten!

acclaimed for many of his compositions on labels such as aesthetic audio, art, ornate, alongside his blistering dj performances. aer boss miles drops the labels first and his debut album. deep is a word often used to describe a lot of music currently out there, but not many touch the depths of this superb lp on atmospheric existence. miles touches on many shades of sound with his trademark emotive warmth. melancholy but positive vibrations flow out alongside abstract grooves. hypnotic elements grace the journey, creating an otherworldy sense of space and distant unknown entities. feeling & mood leap out of this lp at every twist and unexpected turn, circumnavigating the deep spectrum. since his early releases, his imprint aer has become a highly respected imprint globally with a dedicated following. this lp was constructed to stand the test of time and stand it does, firmly rooted in the cosmos

khandoits hypnotic 100 bpm stomp does not adhere to genre or fickle trends, it simply bangs. the track begins with a sturdy kick and piano glissandos which recall alice coltranes most transportative work. as the beat picks up, a creeping, filtered arpeggio enters its journey between rhythmic and downright nasty serving as the track s primary drama. its a stunning intro to the new label grimy trax, a musical chameleon that can be dropped at the beginning, middle or end of the night. to complement the epic a-side, grimy returns to the endlessly talented midwest and emerges with lulu, an original track by deejay/edit ace bruce ivery. the track seamlessly combines the chicago acid sound with the clever vocal sampling of early 90s nyc house. the result is pure peak-time heat. towards the end of the track, ivery arranges brief melodic elements into a propulsive disco facsimile. this unexpected turn summarizes the philosophy of the new label and the way this small group of artists selects and makes records. it doesnt matter if its house, disco, or techno, just make it grimy!

alexander kowalski is someone you should know. not only is he a resident artist at our club, but with uncountable eps and several albums on heiko laux label kanzleramt and others, he has contributed more to electronic music than many others. to have a separate platform for the darker and harder productions of his, he created the alias d_func. a while ago. when he approached us with the tracks that are now on the record in hand, we immediately fell in love with the mills-like energy of them. perfect drum programming, driving synth lines two perfect tools for any proper techno set. the dirt mix of revalism which is included in the digital release package puts the original in a more modern jacket with its stompy beat – another proof of how well alexander knows what the djs need to please their crowd.let the dancefloors burn!

hobo (minus, hot creations, tronic) launches his new imprint, soundz, by finally releasing his highly acclaimed hit mind games. after tearing up ibiza and the world over this season, mind games is finally clawing its way out of select record boxes and into record stores everywhere. joining mind games is its evil twin, public lies. equally epic, public lies builds to a fever pitch with familiar but not quite normal synth tones soaring wildly overhead. two monster jams to kick off soundz in that familiar hobo style.

*it all started in 1974 with the purchase of my first mini moog and another 70s dream machine, a white mellotron m 400.* so starts klaus hoffmann of his 40 years love affair with the mellotron. moving from prog-rock guitarist to cosmic disco warrior in a space of a few years, the birth of cosmic hoffmann would lead to a number of classic kosmiche albums through-out the 1980s. before this though came space-disco. initially recorded in 1978 after endless late night sessions exploring the new realms of this free form electronic music, the first incarnation was recorded live to tape for a failed film project. an uplifting spaced-out synth journey, it was the later reworked version that would go on to become the lost cult classic. with added disco syncopation taking the track into interstellar spheres, it appeared only as a flipside of cosmic hoffmanns first and last single, *weltraumboogie*, in 1982. unfortunately the release did not make much impression at the time but has become highly sought-after for the more leftfield dj and music lovers in the years since. now fully licensed and remastered, the inclusion of the unreleased 1978 original will be only add to the collectors dream.

dungeon meat is the new label and production outfit brought to you by dungeon masters brawther and tristan da cunha. packing a serious punch, its aim is to present tracks designed specifically to rock the party and shake the sound system. originally conceived as a platform for their own musical visions it soon became apparent that they would have to open the doors to a select few who shared their ambition to make no messing, hard hitting house grooves. one of these artists is the mysterious blunt instruments who has the honour of kicking off the label. after road testing his huge club hammer hold back brawther and da cunha knew it had to be on dungeon meat as it epitomised exactly the sound they wanted to present. hold back has been a firm fixture in their sets and even got cut to dubplate by jeremy underground paris. its not all about the a-side though as blunt instruments craft 2 other killer club cuts for the flip side we wont go on too much trying to describe how good this ep is ... instead well let the music do the talking

released almost exactly a year on from their debut struck ep, liam morley and dan valentine return with new brutalism, an exploration of angular, brittle club music.

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.

adding to his extensive and diverse catalog, alexi delano delivers his first release for spectral sound. my busted sh-101 is an ode to the beloved and portable synthesizer made by roland in the early 80s, not long before delano started djing. as a producer, he s earned a reputation for being a bit of a machine himself, churning out records on a wide variety of labels over the last 20 years. he holds his own in house music under his a.d.n.y. moniker, but its with tracks such as this one that show off his love for dark, weird techno that sits comfortably alongside spectrals finest.

jorge c. is not only a great producer (who was also signed by the legendary detroit matrix label), but also label owner of the well known chile based ojo de apolo. jorges music is strongly rooted in detroit deep house, chicago jack sounds and mid-nineties peak time housemusic, but also known to just as easily fuse a wide variety of other styles including dub, experimental electronica, future jazz, nu wave, disco, afro beats & particularly 80ies rare funk. check *love song*, an absolut party firecracker fused with funk elements which really freaked us away. dan piu aka george b. from allstarr motomusic re-worked jorges *jam* song slightly by adding some cool cuts and jazz chords. big shouts to our graphic artist and multi talent popshop, who always delivers 100% quality. pressing on red coloured & marbled vinyl.

these tracks magnitude and direction is best understood when the dislocation-bearing crystal structure is first visualized without the dislocation. in this release structure, once the encompassing track is drawn, the dislocation can be introduced. this dislocation will have the effect of deforming, not only the perfect crystal structure, but the track as well. the direction of the vector depends on the plane of dislocation, which is usually on the closest-packed unit of a low-frequency cell.

nice price deal !!! after ab initio 04 comes…ab initio 05… sometimes it really is that simple! what is not so simple however is how sebastian san manages to always stick to his sound and still deliver one fresh release after another. the fifth installment of his own ab initio imprint is no different: three absolute storming tracks bringing you that typical vibe to make you lose your mind and body. >photonics< takes up the complete a-side, tweaking and twirling with heavenly chords and synths, it is one of those tracks you can play to really lock dancers into your groove. >horsepower< is a bit of a rougher affair with a serious oldskool chicago twist, but still very much sebastien san of course. >kepler 22 b< rounds off the e.p. in style with a minimal dubby workout that should have maurizio fans storming to the booth for a track i.d. in a matter of seconds. three different tracks, three times 110% sebastien san quality. bring on ab initio 06 please!

the second album by valanx called >ejecta< (18-diam.) gets the remix treatment. four artists, each with their own unqiue sound, have reworked their favourite track of the album and gave the music their own twist and sound. the exaltics turns >beyond doubt< into a dark brooding metallic industrial beast with a strong and dominant sub bass line that will damage your speakers.crc, one half of the finnish electro masters morphology creates a trippy psychedelic techno epic on his take of the track >chasm< and showcases a masterpiece of drum programming and creation of atmosphere. on the flip, >trail of conjuration< gets the remix treatment by admx-71 aka adam x. his version takes the tribal aspects of the original and turns it into a dark industrial techno drenched track that immediately lets you think of an old abandoned warehouse drowned in strobe light and fog and a massive rave taking place.last but not at all least it is louis haimans turn and he creates a wonderful deep dub techno track out of >legion v2<. the sub bass and deep chords are whirling and will hypnotize the listener with endless echoes and reverbs. 300 handnumbered limited vinyl copies only. no digital distribution
