quintessentials is very happy to present their 50th release! to celebrate this, we invited some buddies to bring the deep beats. and damn they did! mat chiavaroli, one of your main artists who is getting stronger and stronger, opens this jubilee release with upbuilding powerful tune, just the tune the get quintessentials 50 started! great to see profilic dutch producer nachtbraker (heist, quartet series) on the label too. we love his style and he will soon be as popular as ajax amsterdam! his subtle and dirty “bronco” fits in perfectly. the definitive club tune that grooves and grooves and grooves comes from ponty mython (dirt crew). alexandr is a cool guy and this is defo a cool tune. last but not least is soul of hex (freerange, vicario). our mexican friend is going very raw this time. yes, why not call it electronic body music (remember?)! as we are gentlemen, we added a quintessentials sticker in the vinyl edition. go and get it!
californiabased producer damon bell could not find a more suitable home for his new 12inch than croatian label burek. its his first one since blues for the libyan lp released in 2015. for deepblak, and it sounds as if the time off was well spent. two words that perfectly describe this record are rich and colourful, and the description is equally applicable to all three cuts. stand by me is a synthheavy piece built around the interplay between tracks rougher sounds and big lush pads. on the flipside, life is slightly faster and more direct, with a wonderful guitar part that circles around the main theme throughout the most of the track. similarly mannered, but slightly more intense transatlantic journey? we been here! is the last piece and features an infectious groove with lead synth piercing through layers of delicate arpeggios playing in the background. all in all, it feels good to have damon in the team. we hope youll enjoy this record
literary all the granny smith apple trees grown today, from uruguay to hokaido, are clones from mrs. smith’s original tree in sydney. bananas, oranges, watermelons, garlic & other fruits of daily delight are routinely replicated without any input of external ideas - i.e., they are cloned. there is no general ethical or aesthetic decision to be formed about clones, since you have already imbibed them ever since your first bite. thus, you are not in a neutral or otherwise preliminary position, but already involved, kneedeep.
cannataci records - a new record label run by ripperton & agnès cannataci records is a joint venture hosted by ripperton and agnès. the label is aimed at releasing rather unclassified music, pieces our friends compose or simply ourselves. the aim is at releasing music we believe make things go beyond the usual paths. the label name is a reference to our hopes in the newly appointed un special rapporteur on privacy, namely, joseph cannataci. frankly, we do not want to taint our music with politics, although we are simply firm endorsers of our own privacy and think everybody else should.
the formula was simple: marry bubblegum and soul to the absolute sincerity of an enthusiastic child, cross your fingers and pray for airplay. but while the youthful sums of that formula may have grown up and walked away from their illusions of stardom, their permanent records remain. by 1973, michael, tito, jermaine, marlon and jackie were as hip as kids could get—household names, with lunchboxes, coloring books, a saturday morning cartoon, and an alpha-bits cereal commercial pushing the j5 brand onto any kid with television reception. their impressive run of four consecutive #1 singles playing on both pop and r&b stations cemented their appeal to both whites and blacks, prompting mgm to launch the osmonds as the safer (read: white) alternative. and parents? well michael had that wrapped up with his impossible-not-to-love mini-james brown thing. even their song selection straddled both sides, with “zip a dee do dah” and “abc” for kids, and contemporary standards “standing in the shadows of love” and “my cherie amour” for the older crowd. this extreme marketing and merchandising juggernaut created the kid soul explosion. a decade removed from our acclaimed home schooled compilation comes a fresh batch of talent show titans. with enterprising parents, neighbors, and teachers turning play dates into recording dates, groups like magical connection, little man and the inquires, and five ounces of soul emulated the jacksons, who’d made grade-school stardom appear easy as abc. afterschool special: the 123s of kid soul contains 19 tiny tunes ranging from bilingual d.a.r.e. anthem, to james brown bio, to young love and life beyond the playground.
the frightnrs escort daptone into the world of long-playing reggae with both the sweetest and the roughest record of the decade. crafted under the meticulous eye of black-belt reggae mastermind/producer victor axelrod (aka ticklah), nothing more to say is a rocksteady masterpiece the likes of which has not reared it s head since the golden era of studio one. however, you ll find no imitation here - none of the faux-jamaican cliches of lesser reggae bands. like all things daptone, this record is above all soulful and honest.
whiskey disco no.49, rabo & snob s 3rd ep on the label, is further proof that this tel aviv duo has their finger on the pulse of modern disco production. energetic arrangements perfect for tension building at any tempo. this duo have also recently released affiliated projects on mahogani, strictly rhythm - not to mention their previous work as soulico.
lumberjacks boogie is back! phil gerus is a natural musical talent who oozes sound from every pore. fusing together cassette pop, house, soul, r&b and funk, his sounds are effortless but hugely emotive and have come on labels like sonar kolkektiv, manmakemusic, futureboogie, madtech and bastard jazz before now.
chicago basement trax returns with an homage to the king of the raw himself ron hardy. those that experienced ron hardy first hand will tell you there was a vibe like no other. a minimal space with strobe lights and a bangin system. if you put your hands on an eq or isolator as a dj thank ron as being an innovator of this creative style of frequency manipulation. not only did ron drop the bass, he dropped whole songs to expose the beautiful crispy hi hats, vocals and then romanced you with the piano before slapping your whole body with the beat. this ep does its job to take you there, just close your eyes and blast off!
the chordz ep brings it with 3 hot new modern boogie tracks. label hero newman opens the release with the title track chordz, a synth-fuelled dancefloor banger, reminiscent of harvey sutherland s recent work. flip it over and ourra (aka simon tappenden aka pop out n play) brings us a truly tropical treat reminiscent of palm trees, pina coladas and 80s miami sunsets. last but not least, keyboardist for brian ellis, adam chini plays horizons of funk, a lush down tempo synth funk number bringing the ep to the perfect clo
a very future times sounding future times from jeremy hyman. slighty odd, beautifully constructed and very friendly tracks that please us immensly. he first popped up on last years vibe 3 compilation and this is a full extension of that appearence. not much known on the man apart from hes part of slasher flicks with animal collective s dave portner. tip for the wise!
recovering from the gray decay of the winter here in berlin, we are more than ready to push forward farther into the future. in order to do so the powers at chronicle have aligned a new musical offering to test the palate of those who know, and those who care. we are pleased to present six tracks from the prolific arnaud le texier, who has made waves for years with his children of tomorrow imprint and renowned taste. from cosmic interludes to heavy hitting transcendence, arnaud manages to showcase all sides of his production skills as they translate into a compelling and emotive narrative. among them stands a tribute to one who was lost along the way that we simply do not want to forget. only rarely in this life do we stand witness to gures that make a true impression, an imprint that continues to leave a mark long after the original has passed. max_m was one of these gures, and it is through his music and immensely dignified curatorial prowess that his legacy will live on. arnaud’s poignant tribute stands as a personal note amongst an ep full of forceful techno suitable for deep space exploration
mysterious brooklyn label and production crew getting in the game with some techno and ebm bangers. all are re-workings of recognizable or obscure classics. “looping blood” the clubbiest of the ep builds around a controlled bleeding loop and blossoms into a spiraling unstoppable groove accented by crashing reverbs and jackin drums. “alaaarmed” is a pounding re-edit of tommi stumpff, early german minimal punk not unlike nitzer ebb. “take two” is a great remix of front 242’s epic industrial classic “take one” dubbing out the lyrics for an instrumental approach. “open bar” puts the scissors to skinny puppy’s early 80s classic “last call” looks like the aptly named effective weapns label certainly providing some hot jams for this fall. fans of dark entires, minimal wave take notice
archeo recordings is a reissue record label that regenerates old, lost, obscure (and forgotten) rare gems of italian music of the 70s and 80s, and not only. all outputs are licensed by the artists and the vintage labels, audio tracks are remastered in their original form, the sleeves and center labels are graphically recreated for today but all based on the original images
"benjamin brunn s follow up to his highly regarded a sun life album on third ear. the plastic album is, like it s predecessor once again bursting with fat, glistening, gorgeous sounds. brunn s sound is instantly recognizable; the nord modular synth and roland 808 which feature on all his performances. yet, he s sounding as fresh, as enigmatic and as soulful as ever."
dubtil’s debut for amphia comes in line with the previous 10 releases’ tagline: tailoring new musical perspectives into the multidimensional universe of electronic music. the opener -indoiala- sticks into our brains with its slow decaying voices, pitched down to embrace the devilishly simple percussion. keeping the same eerie approach to his idea of dancefloor oriented loops, dubtil completes side a with -alta schema-, another typical kick-led experience enveloped into a more haunting bassline. bearing a deep house dna yet not losing contact with the dancefloor energy through its breaks pattern, side b’s -repet slap repet- opens the gates to the abstract structure of -contrar-, an apparently chaotic contiguity of weird samples, glued to each other by the minimalistic bassline. jumping from one genre to another, confronting dusty preconcieved ideas just to turn them into a fresh sound: dubtil’s imagination fountain is far from getting dry! we now have the tangible proof.
if we put armando, gene hunt and steve pointdexter together in a room with a few synthesizers, some rhythm boxes, a roland 606 and a few cans of beer, what we would get is shrimp traxx. this very young, practically unknown austrian artist has just made his recording debut on bons records with five tracks that range in style from classic to trippy, psychotic acid house. these five jam sessions, made 100% using hardware, are now appearing on the catalan label. after an ep with a markedly 90s house sound, bons records is now turning towards more ghetto vibes with a record to be spun and danced to exclusively in a house club. this is not warm-up stuff!
despite his artist name and his trademark sound, steve murphy does not come from chicago, but from mira, a little town on the suburban area of venice. steve has been djing since 2001, and in the past years has been rocking almost every club in his region. he is serious and professional behind the decks: playing only with vinyl, he blends electro and house, techno and new wave, acid madness and pop appeal. steve has produced together with die roh an album (-the chasm-) and one e.p (-windy city-) on chiwax, and a solo 10- (-planet earth-) on rawax, these records have quickly gone out of stock and that have been acclaimed by the lovers of the classic warehouse sounds. in 2012 he has started the riviera project and has founded the muscle records label, together with lucretio, dj octopus, caio, madì grein and chevel. the label is a facility to spread what has been called -the sound of brenta-: a raw, nasty, machines powered clash of house and techno. in 2012 he also released -the dove ultimatum- on vae victis records, under the moniker of durant: an unfriendly 12- of distorted electro and funky acid beats produced with die roh and lucretio.
len leise - ing ing - the first release for general purpose (gp), a record label created by len leise and longtime dj partner and collaborator salvador. leise and salvador neither plan to release exclusively on gp, nor promise regular releases. it’s a label for when they can find the time, energy, money and, most important, the sound they believe in. ing is about embracing change, experimentation and progression. terrified to follow a format, leise looked to other genres for inspiration. he turned to his love for dub, afro, post punk and experimental music to find guidance. artists like scientist, jah shaka, savant, adrian sherwood and andromeda all in their own way influence ing. ing is not what you’d expect from leise. ing is a dub record, a post punk record, an experimental record, a balearic record, a homage record, a record with a purpose.
las returns to innamind with two straight up heads-down beasts -gunfam- and -this morning-, highly anticipated and not to be slept on under any circumstances!
MIDNITE SPARES COMPILED BY ANDRAS AND INSTANT PETERSON (LP+MP3)
12 Inch 13.09.16
midnite spares, australian music devotees andrás and instant peterson hold a candle to overlooked avant-pop and electronic works by antipodean artists and outsiders working through the 80s and 90s. through co-presenting weekly radio show strange holiday, the duo slowly upturned their locale for inspiration - archives, country bookstores, private collections and convenience stores, searching for a place to anchor their own identities in the oceans of the island continent. the 10 tracks acknowledge a minor history, passed on via a network of friends, friends of friends, the libraries of radio station 3rrr and more often than not, the artists themselves. renowned mixed media artist maria kozic enters with the mysterious downbeat of trust me, her partner philip brophy responsible for digital and analogue sonic construction. a recurring character in andrás and instant peterson’s investigations, brophy reappears with a score piece from his divisive feature film salt, saliva, sperm and sweat, recorded as ??? (pronounced “tch tch tch-). other links are thread under the surface. melbourne inner north experimentalist david chesworth explores his australiana songcraft leading whadya want?. the short lived project also featured philip jackson, whose duo the couch is restored from fast forward’s dance issue - a pioneering cassette fanzine published by early-80s 3rrr
the revised brotherhood recorded their one and only 45rpm single tragedy b/w those things in 1971. the band was founded by organist john hurd who was taught music many days a week by roger troutman. the band released a full length album shortly after the 45 but it did not take long and they split up. thanks to john hurd all of you get the chance to enjoy these songs on 45rpm single, more than 40 years after its initial release.
few would challenge the claim that the 1960s and 70s have been the most fertile two decades in the history of popular music ever - a period which, regardless of genre, laid the foundations for everything that has followed. what is more, this period was so fertile that the speed with which tastes changed left a colossal amount of incredible music to gather dust - perhaps most famously a profusion of funk, soul and jazz. it was a musical legacy that lay mouldering until the rise of sampling in late 80s hip-hop precipitated a mad scramble for lost crates and suddenly, the music that became known as rare groove - for obvious reasons (it was rare and very groovy) - experienced a phoenix-like rebirth. a quarter of a century on and a million funk, soul, jazz-funk and rare groove compilations, re-presses and re-releases later, you d think that cupboard was bare and yet, even now, there are gems to be found. pt is re-releasing the rarest of cuts that often were originally only limited runs or private pressings and new compilation down & wired is just such a collection. always soulful, this features everything from mod groovers and northern stompers, to funky bumps and latin heaters. yet while the quality of all cuts is immediately apparent, only one of the eleven has ever been previously been compiled because when pt do rare, they dont mess around. in fact, if these tracks were steaks they d still be walking around eating grass.
finally, justus köhncke is unveiling new tracks! his first release since justus köhncke & the wonderful frequency band (kompakt, 2013) is both daring and serious. five songs in german, interpretations of material by howard carpendale, juliane werding and nik p. plus english-into-german translations of two pop classics (twist in my sobriety by tanita tikaram, captain of her heart by double). this is not an ironic joke about seemingly stupid music or schlager: köhncke embraces these five compositions and turns them into his own. they transmutate into his very own vision of nu-german comps-soul‹ while retaining justus unique sound.
fortuna co-founder kalbata takes the controls for this new, middle eastern techno banger! al-shark is a banging arab farfisa excursion played frantically on an analog techno rhythm section. it s the first release from the fortuna camp which is not a reissue, but worry not, this could easily be an ancient lebanese proto-house experiment unearthed from a dusty reel.for the b-side kalbata takes things even further with a tribal relick of the original, placing us in a voodoo ceremony where ghosts of sinners come to dance. already on heavy rotation by gilles peterson and acid arab, this anthemic 12- is not to be missed! limited vinyl!
at sneaky we are very pleased to welcome g.markus. what can we say about him? not much apart from the fact that he makes super groovy old-skool house beats like not many can these days. spreading perverted twistedness mixed with great classic housey vocals, ‘smoking hut’ will be how your dance floor will end up when you play this record out. recently also known for releasing great re-edits on soul clap records and as part of s.h.a.g edits va on roots for bloom. what else can we say? well, not much, really. g insisted on having a clause on the contract that clearly states that his true identity shall not be revealed. all we can say is that he’s a real mofo and that you’d be better off listening to his music instead of to this silly banter…
after a one year hiatus, berlin s michael melchner is finally back in a memorable way with a new release on colt music. three original cuts that do not need any futher explanation with ? came first as the main track, followed by a more personal version on the b side. closing things off, prague adds the spice with a funky minimal tool track.
the ninth ep from the magic waves label comes courtesy of the enigmatic and mysterious voiceover woman. we are given four tracks of modern electro-psychedelic wizardry that will surely melt your mind, as well as any dancefloor it comes into contact with. opening the record is ‘input sensitive’, and we’re plunged into a world of swirling synthesiser emotions from the start, tripping hard into ‘mega gift’, a monster of a track that not only shifts the speed up a gear or three but funks it out in spaced-up futuristic ways too. side b brings us ‘total rotation plug-on’ and takes us deeper into lush aphexian dreamscape dimensions before the whirlwind climax of the record, the closing stormer ‘convolvo’, expanding any mind it’s aurally connected to at an exhilarating rate. it’s a record that leaves you mentally and physically breathless, and is not one to miss. comes in limited quantities, and vinyl is coloured!
fuckthegovernment.ltd, a.k.a. f.t.g (alfredo trastulli) and music box head honcho, marco riff, return to the skylax fold in 2016 with a cache of house nuggets for our listening pleasure. their last venture on skylax saw f.t.g collaborate with a bunch of his friends, resulting in some of the best tracks we’d heard all year, including the unforgettable fuckthegovernment theme. their tracks have been celebrated and hailed by some of the best djs in the game, names such as derrick may, ricardo villalobos, raresh, and dj harvey. the bar set by the first record remains sky high, and somehow, these two manage to raise the bar even higher. it may be the biggest cliche going when talking about an album, but the duo certainly do take us on a journey, through the past and present of house music. it’s a record not too dissimilar in tone to paranoid london’s from a few years back, but f.t.g and marco strip things back even further than those guys did, in our opinion, the sound is more raw with less frills, and no track names to predispose feelings in the listener either. this eight track project is cohesive and elaborate, with movements through sounds both acid and jazzy, minimal and maximal. it explores sounds that came to prominence in famous house locales such as detroit and chicago over in the u.s., but the underground european influence is definitely present, from paris to berlin, and of course f.t.g and marco’s home of italy. with this album, these guys add to the underground sound that has cultivated in the city of perugia for years now, a place that has seen the likes of simoncino and nicholas hone their craft.don’t miss out on a piece of skylax history
get on down is a heavyweight slice of storming jamaican disco-reggae heat from the legendary studios of miami s tk disco empire. king sporty s version may not have been as well known as connie cases electro laden later 1982 version (also produced by sporty) but the perfect marriage of disco stylings and sports jamaican roots meant the original 1979 version was a cult classic in underground deep disco circles. over 35 years since get on down was released the keepers of the tk disco vaults have given permission for some of their classics and lesser known gems to be respectfully tweaked by contemporary producers and dj s who fully understand the lineage of the label and the music contained within. stepping up and get his hands dirty is none other than london dwelling, wolf music man medlar. a regular face behind the turntables all over the world medlar has lovingly freaked king sportys anthem for the modern dance-floor, extending the right parts in just the oh so right way, dubbing out parts that needed just a smidgen of echo here and there and generally making the track irresistible to dj s with its lovely long beat led intro. these are extremely tasteful edits, done with respect and reverence over 2 parts old school style. look out for those low flying dubbed out vox and lazer beams too, powerful stuff! this is only one of many underground disco classics that the mighty miami based tk disco label brought to the world, reimagined for 2016s dance-floor, officially sanctioned in conjunction with henry stone music / tk disco. file under - classic / essential!
one per customer ... the wonderful black ops sub label from the sleazybeats people wraps up, which has been a monumentally successful series by anyone s standards, with an ep from the notorious sample bandits, the popular peoples front over a decade after launching a distinctive series whose ambitions amounted to no less than condensing thirty years of black club music into a beautifully packaged, portable collage of sonic sample goodness, the sb crew tracked them down & appealed to their anarchic, nihilistic nature by offering them the final release on the label. the ppf project itself came to a close at release no. 10, so the synchronicity was strong for no other reason than a desire to celebrate dancefloor abandon and strive to soundtrack the purest forms of hedonism, ambiguous sexuality and a transcendent celebration of outsider culture, not to mention a green light to shamelessly exploit, steal and otherwise pilfer their source material, they said yes. after trying, with no small amount of success to transcend the basic edit through the ppf series, the band have again worked their collage approach into three truly magical cuts as always, this is a limited, vinyl only release. it will not be repressed and will not be released digitally. not now, not ever
limited information on this release, it contains two super edits that have been heavily road tested on a certain soundsytem that is currently doing the rounds. not much information beyond that but the music speaks for itself. slow mo with energy. more soon.
a timely reissue of one of blueprint s greatest releases
full colour label sleeve to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this classic techno label !

philippe quenum returns to cadenza music with ‘solitaire’, some thirteen years after helping kick start the swiss label with the 2003 release ‘orange mistake’/ funky dandy’. this groundbreaking single, co-produced with luciano, has since become a landmark release, not just for the label, but also as the benchmark for the micro-house and minimal tech-house genre that developed over the decade. with a music career than spans back to the mid-80s (dancing in nyc as part of the breakdance troupe, the magnificent force), quenum found his forte with house music, both as a dj, and as a producer and label owner. setting up the access 58 label in 1998 as a platform for his music and collaborations, quenum has consistently released over the years for labels like crosstown rebels, soma, alphahouse, thema and trapez ltd. ‘solitaire’ finds quenum on fine form, on the lead track, dubby fx and bass shaking shots roll out over an urgent disco beat, muted brass and technoid stabs fire from all directions as the tension building pads flourish. shadowy forces are at play on ‘mystic’, discordant sounds echo and bellow over reverberating percussion and a dense back beat that fire into life with shuffling hi-hats. wrapping up this welcome return to the label is ‘mystery’, whipping snares and industrial clangs rumble over the urgent drums for more hypnotizing dancefloor work from philippe!
after a fabulous summer and a mind-blasting krake festival, killekill takes its next step and kicks off another new label called vanta series, which is destined for small series of 12-es with out-standing dancefloor tracks. the name derives from vantablack, a colour from nano technology, which is the blackest black and actually invisible. vanta therewith stands for the total emptiness and is the perfect name for a label which does not have a defined identity itself but is a platform for different series, which will all have a concept and aesthetic in itself. the first series is called -the end is near-. it consists of 4 releases and comes with an artwork by french artist elzo durt. every release will contain a small poster, all four posters put together become elzo durt s piece -les anges de l apocalypse-. first record is by dez williams, who also released on shipwrec and bass agenda recently. a-side acidbanger is a serious banger and has future acid classic written all over it. the b-side comes with two acid variations - one more stingy, one emotional and psychedelic - which show the potential of this outstanding producer. open your ears and put the needle on - here is some acid!
creative partnership audiofly are the next to release on crosstown rebels with the show stopping in the (last) moment featuring the angelic voice of georgia lewis. the release comes complete with a steadfast remix from germanys robag wruhme. in the (last) moment sets the foundation with broken chuggy beats as intricate layers and grumbling pads unfold beneath the beautiful sounds of georgias voice. audiofly explain that,sometimes its nice to not have to write the usual peak time bomb, with this one we followed our hearts and the vibe of young vocalist georgia lewis and what emerged was a sunrise moment. with 13 years behind them anthony middleton and luca saporito aka audiofly have established a creative empire, which includes two record labels and their flying circus global party brand, which celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this year with a world tour. working harder than ever, a second artist album is in the works following on from 2011 long-player follow my liebe. industry veteran robag wruhme has more recently had releases on the likes of kompakt and pampa records. here he makes an imprint on crosstown rebels with this epic remix that fuses elated synths and industrial elements over solid rolling percussion.
-when two of the most exciting young labels today join forces to breath new life into a classic king britt production there’s not much that could go wrong. oba funke’s -uzoamaka- might have 14 years on its back but it blends in perfectly with nowadays red

a-side tracks are composed by bee lincoln in berlin, aa-side by ryoma sasaki in kyoto. so, the sounds of berlin and kyoto are mixed in this vinyl. this work “transition ep /tr-004” includes 3 cool deep tech house tracks & 1 nice deep house track. these tracks will fit many kinds of floors and people dance to the music (ongaku 音,,楽,,)!!

entering with “cruising into the storm”, a raw synth and bass propelled work-out, moda squeezes energy in ounces into a midnight ready and sweat thirsty call to action. channelling his gang starr influences, break-beats are dug, dusted off and sampled onto “4 my people”. crackling joyfully and reminiscent of the 90s, a2 is not failing.
the flip side opens with cosmic tones, deep pad works and a rattling top ends from the 909, steering the mother-ship deeper into the cosmos. interstellar travels deepen via euphoric murky pads, a melting tempo, infectious bass and loose hats on “what i am”. moda ejects off ship somewhere between neptune and pluto...
it started as an event series by re.you where he invites other appreciated djs to share the decks with him - so far he had younion nights with &me, tiefschwarz, anja schneider or adana twins. now heis transferring the >re.you invites< concept to a label idea. he invites his favorite artists to release with him on his new imprint >younion< - for the very first edition he signed terranova, who gained a lot of attention with their lps on kompakt - furthermore he is releasing a newcomer duo from berlin called eins tiefer who already released on upon.you records and last but not least re.you himself is delivering a track for the first ep.
samo lived in hong kong for a bit. he rescued a dog and brought him back to stockholm. he skates but that’s not him on the front. he put together one of the best very records on lies but this four-tracker kills it dead. ben ufo’s been rinsing it. the dog’s name is denzil.
after rumors have started of re-pressing the much requested and super rarely le nid d oiseau ep from the year 2003, charles noel and the label decided to go rather for an all new 12-. the ep contains 4 unreleased eclectic techno tracks dated back to the time of the predecessor. charles noel aka archetype is definitively a wizard behind the machines, creating such an awesome and impressive atmosphere with not that many elements
