after their successful compilation aspekt is back with their next strike. the brilliant minimal techno bomb by dan reed leaves nothing to be desired. the track >express package< on side a offers ingenious powerful techno beats, and by melodic elements gunjah creates a very individual touch with dreaming character in his remix. on side b it goes on with pushing sound, the smasher >saver package< and the djafar & uniquexx remix are just right to attract the clubber.

the machine has been kick-started! industrial movement returns from the dark with a fierce 4-tracker under strict guidance by deathmachine. get your fix with both mid and up-tempo uk hardcore beats! solid productions showcasing the enhanced mechanics of one of britains next-level producers. theres nothing unlucky about the thirteenth release at im when this audio hits your decks!

its blue, its true, and its got nothing to do with…well… whatever. after the highly successful wph purple release by san soda wph is back with the second release in our coloured vinyl-only series. the series where no digital suckers are allowed , the series where producers actually get to choose the artwork – in this case the colour, the series that digs even deeper than any regular wph release.

a1) aller retour. indeed we do like it very much, when a tune is like a punch – and this one pushes tremendous. underlaid with a sharp kick later, the strongly-held bass line involving from a small stream to an all-compelling stream. on top we receive a very un-christian boot with some oriental like organ-pipes. what more can you expect. oh by the way- there is actually a river in lower saxony with the same name like the track – however has nothing to do with it. b1) nevermind. indicate left and right over. and then a lob shot instead of a straight shot. this is a little what nevermind feels like. an assault from the deep, with a soft climax rather than with brute force. our recommendation for phasing out after an extensive club night

the process of artistic creation is fundamentally determined by the environment of the artist. some cities and geographical locations are synonymous with the artistic techniques and crafts in which their populations became specialized. the muted and subtle sunsets of monets paintings are nothing else but a truthful interpretation of the actual nuances of a parisian twilight - along with a great dose of the artistic wizardry.
these cities and their artistic communities, are the legendary ones that remain in history. defending a fantastic track record in electronic music throughout recent times, rosario - the capital city of the santa fe province in argentina - is one of these places.
franco cinelli, nico purman, andres zacco and jorge savoretti are the leading figures who have, over the last decade, turned rosario into the great sound lab that it is. while developing their own sound and story individually, these boys never forget about their common origin, and the vibe that truly unites them together. on this occasion, they all come around remixing their young friend capes >le post< ep.
this record is pure mother of pearl. it is a tribute to rosario and its prolific actors.

2006 album!!

>gobbldigook< is the spectacular opener of sigur ros recent album >med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust<, undeniably one of the most hymnic songs they have written thus far. fellow islanders stephen stephenson aka presidentbongo (of gus gus fame) and jack schidt couldnt resist but to transform the complex, polyrhythmic original into an exceptionally ethereal club track. when the angelic voice of jon birgisson unfolds on a club soundsystem it reallyfeels like you are in heaven. the ultraslim percussion groove takes over the tribalistic atmosphere of the original but catapults it some hundered light years forward into the future. thomas fehlmanns remix on the flipside is nothing short but sensational. we have no clue how he managed to turn this song into a schaffel but we salute him and take this as another unmistakable sign that the schaffelfieber is rising again in cologne, berlin, reykjavik andelsewhere ...

after a split 12’’ and two eps from its founders, your favourite vinyl-only label welcomes an exciting new artist for its fourth release. hailing from berlin, hunee is a true music lover, a passionate dj and an amazing producer (not to mention a top notch friend). his recent productions on feel music, w.t. records and drumpoet community have caught the ear of many key players and made him one to watch in 2010. needless to say, hunee takes it to a whole other level with his barrio payment trilogy: from soulful house to slow-mo disco via afrobeat, the producer holds nothing back and that’s exactly how we like it at retreat hq. starting off with swinging hi-hats and a wah-wah loop, foundation builds excitement before a killer organ riff and bouncy bassline manage to bring the last non-dancers on the floor. ..

is kerowacks first follow-up single their acclaimed ep, the first ep. a is a heavy drum and electro synth four. it is partly a sentimental track, communing with one hand with the 90s warehouse techno revival, yet with the other hand, forging forward in the evolution of electrohaus, sacrificing nothing and tripping no cliche. fc kahuna lead the back-side of this release with a live rock acid disco reinterpretation, conjuring up an entirely different waking dream, untamed yet methodical, acoustic, analog, whacked out yet perfectly in control as fc kahuna always is.

you might hear nothing - but you are gonna feel it for sure! next floormonster by umek, incl. datawork remix.

raz ohara and his odd orchestra return for their second album for get physical. >ii< is the follow up album to the critically acclaimed self titled raz ohara & the odd orchestra cd that is considered being one of the album highlights in 2008. its a warm, organic collection of avant-garde, open-hearted pop music which positively teems with life, a forest of pleasures and possibilities which youll want to lose yourself in indefinitely.
>ii< is certainly less melancholic than its predecessor – its imbued with good feeling, energised by the rhythms and cadences of summer and the great outdoors - but its not euphoric, there is an underlying note of caution, of trepidation. this emotional mix is what makes the record so powerful, especially when allied to a similarly ambiguous musical mix: which imperceptibly melds folk, classic pop, electro-acoustic experimentation and modernist electronics. 10 beautiful songs plus a special download (code included in the artwork) of the single >miracle< make this album a perfect journey through the winter days.

ranking records 10th release sees russian producer/vocalist marina faib burst onto the scene with a 12inch that is frankly nothing short of astonishing. for a girl born in the 1990s, faib shows astounding maturity in her restrained approach to sound and rhythm, employing stuttering drum loops to underlay soundscapes that would put many a hollywood composer out of work. ticking clocks is a spine tingling example of this: the texture of the track comes from a euphoric choral sample which soars over a deep chasm of sub bass energy, climaxing in the perfect placement of a slithering arabic reed solo. whisper of trees shows the same mastery of atmosphere and musical arrangement - this time the tune is built from blissed out vocal lines, warm synth pads and a pulsating low end.

full artwork custom sleeves. n types label is on a roll right now and 003 sees a massive release from budapest based dj/producer matt u who is nothing less than a tune making machine. armed with a seriously heavy deep and techy based sound, matyas szalai has made a name for himself releasing hard and heavy drum & bass for labels as renowned as the legendary moving shadow, timeless and cylon. with over 34 releases to his name since 2004, this is one producer you should be keeping an eye on. his music encapsulates many genres of music, from drum & bass to dubstep, but all with that matt u sound running throughout. recently his dubstep tracks have been getting plenty of attention from djs such as n type, trg, luke envoy, tes la rok and many more. look out for his releases forthcoming on subway, boka and true tiger.

actually after his debut album reflections this young man could take some time and relax, continue touring over the world or put his feet up during the week. but for mister stimming this is impossible. he just loves producing music much to much. we have nothing to say about this and are very happy to present you three fantastic new tracks. funk with me!

alex comes to an end with the first series of releases on his imprint credo. ten outstanding records have been highly recognized as a contribution to the modern defintion of techno, contanst plays from the big names and there is no doubt that end of the bleepwill perform as well. again one track which is nothing else than techno for the real peaktimes, driving basslines and a modulating signal-tone to cook the floor up and down. the flipside with blablableepis kind of deep, very useful for the early or late hours on your set. take a deep breath, this is techno 2009 with clear roots to the golden times of the style. watch out for the remix-series on credo to come up in fall featuring remixes of selected artists...

its been almost a year since the release of efdemins fantastic two-tracker >america/the pulse<. >america<, that was also used on his curle mix-cd >carry on...<, became quite a big tune and even ended up on the number one spot in groove magazines chart. therefor efdemin preferred that no-one touched that track anymore, and we decided to give >the pulse< a remix treatment. john beltran is a highly respected artist that has been around since the early nineties - r&s! peacefrog! styrax! - and when we heard the ultra-funky mega-bomb he made from >the pulse<, we knew we made the right decision to ask him. another one of our long time favourites from accross the ocean is convextion aka e.r.p. he did some ground-breaking stuff on matrix, down low and frantic flowers. we asked him to do a remix of crcs amazing take on detroit techno, >vaskitsaherra<, originally on curle 009. the result ended up being nothing else than a timeless piece of art.

nice price deal !!! viennese producer tenchu is no greenhorn, no newcomer prodigy. instead the 27 year old is one of austrias finest having earned his stripes many times over in the countrys prolific drum n bass scene. one half of producer duo dubfiction, tenchu graces the third release of nascent label dub:iouz records with two of his latest tunes. a side motivational poster is nothing short of a killer dance floor stomper defining the labels identity. aa side used to be, especially under the skilful treatment of non other than hotflush recordings owner scuba, listeners bear witness to another genre central dubtastic idm tune.

straight off the heels of his highly successful bird brain album teaser tracks, aundy and beat that bird comes the definitive claude vonstroke record everyone has been waiting for. the a side is classic genius cvs at work. he constructs a mad vocal pattern up and down through 4 octaves and all the vowel sounds of the live human voice. then he creates a chord out of the notes all coming together for en even bigger surprise in the 2nd half. this track is quite simply unique. there is nothing else like it. the b-side resembles the freaky side of cvs harking back to the tech funk sound of tracks like chimps. this time claude makes an ultra-wide filter sweep sound like a pair of humongous tits bouncing up and down on a trampoline. the boob jokes are there but the track is so filthy dirty its hard to even find time to chuckle.

district raw is back after the summer break with a 4 track ep by fabio giannelli, with remixes from andre crom and jay bliss & popoviciu aka hermannstadt collective. we should say supported by blablabla but we prefer to say nothing, and just invite you to have a listen!

roland appel started producing music and spinning records in the early nineties. he was a member of fauna flash (together with christian prommer) and the trüby trio (with rainer trüby + christian prommer). in 2002 he released an album with peter kruder and christian prommer as voom:voom . with every project he toured the world and played clubs and festivals from montreal jazz festival, sonar festival to fabric london, new york, berlin and tokyo. from 2004 to 2006 roland lived in paris. during this time he started to write music for his solo career which quickly gained an international following. in 2006 returning to his home town of munich he teamed up with engineer jan krause to start recording once again. whether roland incorporates an accomplice or is working solo, thereÆs hardly a dull moment in the studio or on stage, captivating his audience by combining the integral influences of detroit techno, folk, disco all the way to soul and house. one of the most in demand tracks from the all night long album, snow gets a full single release as a result of the huge response from disco heavyweights horse meat disco, who took the time to contact us to tell us how much they love it. old school disco in every way, certainly not space and nothing nu about ita.. dfa darlings runaway turn it in a slow burning house direction that builds the tension until every last drop is wrung out in a sweaty pool on the dancefloor. nice.

markantonios analytic trail label has been instrumental in creating what is now recognized as the neapolitan techno sound. the labels inventive approach is the key to their success. marrying raw basic elements with funloving party vibes, the label is a destination for djs wanting a bigroom sound. previous releases have featured the likes of rino cerrone, valentino kanzyani, the advent, davide squillace, and joseph capriati.
electric rescue has been at the heart of the parisian rave scene for the past fifteen years. cutting his teeth at parties at legendary avantgarde club >boy<, a career evolved fast, becoming part of the mentasm crew alongside laurent garnier and chaotik rames. since then electric rescue have released on many innovative techno tracks on high profile labels including fcom, afu, yellow label, eterno and his own skryptom imprint.
the flash tool is a simply constructed but incendiary club tool. deploying a limited palette of elements to create an earcatching track, the use of heavy kick, undulating bass, ever rising synth lines and wildly distorting pitch tones screams dancefloor impact.
las castagnettas is nothing short of a mainroom monster. uncompromising and direct with a raw, assertive energy this is inyourface ravetastic techno. booming beats and abrasive sounds set the tone but this is all about the supersized bass stab. watch out..
saving the title track for last, electric rescue unleashes the beast that is locomoto. industrial and uncomplicated, this 4am bodyshaker is packed with plenty of percussive punch and crowderuption moments to ensure maximum effect. file under >encore tune<.

its been almost a year since the release of efdemins fantastic two-tracker >america/the pulse<. >america<, that was also used on his curle mix-cd >carry on...<, became quite a big tune and even ended up on the number one spot in groove magazines chart. therefor efdemin preferred that no-one touched that track anymore, and we decided to give >the pulse< a remix treatment. john beltran is a highly respected artist that has been around since the early nineties - r&s! peacefrog! styrax! - and when we heard the ultra-funky mega-bomb he made from >the pulse<, we knew we made the right decision to ask him. another one of our long time favourites from accross the ocean is convextion aka e.r.p. he did some ground-breaking stuff on matrix, down low and frantic flowers. we asked him to do a remix of crcs amazing take on detroit techno, >vaskitsaherra<, originally on curle 009. the result ended up being nothing else than a timeless piece of art. this record comes as a beautifully marbled coloured vinyl, limited to 500 pieces.

city wasteland comes as a full cd as well as a split in two 12inches including some tracks that are vinyl-exclusives. sebastian lohse a.k.a. break sl from dresden is still quite young, but you can feel that he already defined his own universe of sounds and proper production skills. the second 12inch (city wasteland pt.2) now starts with the track move! which doesnt carry it s name for nothing - this is true-school techno! next, dirtbomb shows some nice edges and has a kinda dark feeling. hovering samples and a raw, dirty feel on the drums gives the whole track a very subtle blues. on the flip break sl enters deepest territory of detroit-influenced techno with weird dancer. the last track here tff is a vinyl-exclusive which delivers intense and acid-like drum layers ... chicago galore! thanks for purchasing a real copy!

following the success of their storming funkatech debut >wickedest combination ft. ic3/the system<
west london threesome pyramid are back with the first single in a four part series entitled >elements< consisting of earth, air, fire & water but inspired by their four prefered staples: sex, drugs, rock & roll! in true pyramid style expect nothing less than dancefloor destroyers with uncompromising attitude that deliver the breaks fundamentals: big bass & real breakbeats wrapped up with a fresh twist for 2009.
proclaiming the arrival of this new series in full effect is the preacher this summers first festival anthem. take heed all ye doubting thomases this will bring you to your knees. the ominous intro gives way to heavy rock guitars and a foreboding preachers sermon whipping the crowd into a frenzy before suddenly being struck down by waves of bass and earth quaking beats so big they will bring the lame back to their feet. this is a big room track guaranteed to smash up the dance. big warm and heavy it will rock the most sinful of ravers into repentance. watch those hands reach for the sky ... hhhhallelujah!
not letting up the energy for a second and next up on the flip is >broken dreams< featuring the vocal and production talents of yoof (sons of mecha). no massive build ups here just a great vocal hook, raw beats and bass. no sir this is a ram raid. break steppin broken beats, rapid distorted basslines, thrash guitars & crashing cymbals... have it! underground and uncompromising pyramid bring the skank for 2009.

punk rock anthems for the next generation!!

stealing thunder so you move that ass, the duo dubbed thunderheist unleashes serious electrocrunk boom bap. ribcage-rattling bass breaks laced with proper rhyming are flipped with digital booty bass, 80s-inspired electronic pop and slowed down southern bounce, all fresh-dipped in serious swagger. mc and singer isis and producer grahmzilla know how to bring it. and once they ve brought it, it stays brung. >torontos shit-hot electro duo< (nme.com) are already a huge online phenomenon, but this first full taste of their forthcoming album comes courtesy of nasty mix records in canada. catchy, propulsive, ecstatic and uncompromising, it s party music of the highest order, utterly unique but sounding like its been in your head all along.

alan fitzpatrick is a producer who has been making everyone sit up and take notice since his first appearance on the scene a little over 18months ago. with various outings on fergies excentric music label, and his own 8 sided dice imprint and forthcoming records on the seminal bedrock records, alan is without doubt the rising star of dance music with his cross genre sound. and if that wasnt enough here is the first outing on adam beyers mighty drumcode! adam, who is unbelievably fussy and purveyor of nothing but absolute quality, snapped up this two tracker instantly – a testament to alans awesome sound. both >statix< and >rubix< are earthshakingly good. both hard and funky, but at the same time extremely versatile, and will be excellent mixing tools and big records in ther own right. the kind of records that never leave the box. get it..

der titel legt es schon nahe: >for now<, das zweite album des britischen 60s-retro-trios the bishops, ist eine art bestandsaufnahme. eine referenz an den moment, an das jetzt, das die gruppe aus london seit erscheinen ihres deb?talbums 2007 mit hunderten konzerten ausgiebig gelebt hat - u. a. als support f?r james blunt auf dessen europa-tour. so sind denn auch viele der songs von >for now< auf tour entstanden, aufgenommen wurden sie im sommer 2008 in london vom produzenten brian o?shaughnessey (primal scream, my bloody valentine). abgesehen von den klassischen dreimann-arrangements spielen the bishops auf >for now< auch mit ungewohnten instrumenten wie trompete, mundharmonika und klavier. rockig und im besten stil der kinks und fr?hen beatles ist das allemal, wie nummern wie >hold on<, >free to do what you want< und die erste single >city lights< beweisen. doch auch ein folksong wie >he was a friend of mine< schaffte es auf die platte.

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

in the sequence of numbers the seventh follows the sixth blow. this one is the first ever solo release by daniel d. curtis featuring three tracks. a sides first minutes already forebode the expressiveness of before we come. with well known techno structures in the background the magical spheres literally embrace and motivate every summer lover to a hip swing. after the first zweikarakter contributions and remixes, which are on pt006 (bachner & biereige - home summer) there is nothing more to mention than to listen, feel, and the artists request to get paid.
