san franciscos very own pagan anarchist acid rave sons dj spun and jonah sharp team up with skate punk legend ray stevens ii and liquid liquid / fist of facts sal principato for their sophomore release on golf channel. a short sharp shot to the head, its hot is a fast & vibrant piece that evokes bygone, punk, no wave, genreless days - and at a fair clip at that. the bonus beats strip it down to the skeletal for some voodoo business while the columbus hotel mix is a version that sounds like nothing else you will hear this year. industrial techno tribal goth dub vibes for 2075 and beyond!

huge package from west end of exclusive or never before released versions of one of the highlights from their illustrious catalogue.... arthur russell s loose joints... is it all over my face? kon (king of nothing!) sourced the original stems to completely re make the track utilising both the female and male vocal parts in his outstanding -duet- mix. also included in the barnstorming 13 minute original version that s never seen the light of day... its significantly and dare we say on par with the original version! finally included is the rare as hens teeth original female vocal 3:10 7- version that was only ever released as a promo at the time. huge release that s set to cause ever lasting ripples in the disco music community!

on the first side side we got the title track kings & queens, featuring carlo and the unique voice of the singer / songwriter gjaezon. trippy chords combined with whirling hi-hats give that track a special melancholic, dark and warm feeling. perel transformed the second track speakerbox straight into a club banger - jacking grooves and cut up vocals by gjae, thats how we like it. and now sit back and relax while ranko serves you his cocktail of slow-motion funk and dubby grooves in his clarapark remix. on the flip side oliver gehrmann starts with his version of speakerbox: a floating and melodic sunrise hymn, including such a rolling bassline that your feet will do all the work for you. odysea take you back to the golden age of house music, therefor the boys created a soulful remix with majestic strings that give you nothing but goose bumps.

macro has released albums by two of technos greatest live acts, kink and elektro guzzi. it would have been a shame if the two didnt exchange their special skills on each others killer material. and thats just what they did: kink remixed atlas into a tranced-out, peaktime world-domination slammer of pure euphoria. elektro guzzi let the snares smack and the pads build up on vodolaz into nirvana. dream team double pack: nothing better to let the sun shine through the summer of 2015. even at night.

the original version is nothing short of a classic, but its as if the song had never been invited to a louie vega post-midnight global extravaganza. was the song not aware that spellbound dancing and high bpms were the standard for house music? normally, such a blaring disregard for nightlife decorum would relegate a song to the pits of sonic hell, but we’re talking about george clinton here! the original opens up with a g-funk groove that screams westside and lowriders. the listener is then blessed with clinton as he adds his sage, soulful and pimpadelic vocals, complemented by funkadelic singers asking him about the pains of the funk. the semblance of a beat that could drive the dancefloor into the morning hours is there, but in no way has it blossomed into its full glory. enter louie vega.

after previous releases on hija de colombia, el nino andres (here credited as el nino only) debuts on new vinyl label called jackie brown. jackie brown aims to release series of mini lps, providing conceptual music stories, while at the same time not neglecting the main consequence of good house music – dance groove. house music infected with funk, soul and boogie grooves – we are not inventing nothing new, we’ve been inspired by many labels that came before. el nino delivers first story on our label, and in our humble opinion shows the very best side of house music with a groove and soul. though not all tracks are lengthy and floor ready, they make a great ensemble on “no boogie nights”, while tracks like “odds against tomorrow”, “thieves in the night” and “something ain’t right” work great on their own. everything is rounded up with amazing artwork from maximilian moser.

the head of grounded theory berlin returns to sonic groove with his strongest outing on the label to date. henning baer brings forth a rough and tough diverse four cut ep of chunky rhythmatic techno. recording the songs during live jams and using a previously decided pool of hardware this ep has a nice old school vibe. the sound production however is very much in the modern day with its well crafted mix downs. this release has strong mass appeal for the purist techno connoisseur.

early suuport by rodhad, pfirter, norman nodge, etapp kyle, rolando, dj deep, inigo kennedy, kr!z and many more. odd / even boss andre kronert brings the fire to the third ep from fledgling underground label pure traxx. the artist behind last years hit stockholm ltd ep >exu< serves up two more deep cuts of the grittiest of analogue techno. label head stefan rein and dystopian artist ron albrecht deliver equally potent interpretations to round off the release. sinister sounds for dark spaces.

a1. celestial encounter (original mix) 6:08 – 4×4 driven groover laced with choppy hi-hats, complexed rhythms, and orchestration only fit for mental travels. an uplifting tune of spirit and electronic sorcery. a2. ominous 4:58 – steely industrial percussion, creepy atmospheres, dance floor know-how. the honest depiction of the title lurking within the corners of your psyche. a3. celestial encounters (interlude) 1:22 a fine example of the latest in signature interludes from the optic nerve project. movement & imagination. b1. jazzy circuitry 4:49- moody, computer-ridden textures walking along side a odd-time signature until the introduction of the bassline and trippy piano keys seal the deal on craft & creation. niceness, indeed. b2. jazzy circuitry ( blaktonys step glide remix ) 4:18 traditional optic nerve ambience is chopped & rehashed into a 1/2 step groover then blasted into a full jam session by blaktony. madness/a complete new trip on the original structure & tune.

fas009, big as alwayas ! nothing more to say - jj got mystique reminds on an older svek release.. only one copy per customer !!

i entered rapidly in the darkness, searching for a secure place, i cheated myself, i walked through paths travelled by those ones who get lost. i’ve dreamt many times the light in the distance always bumping into an illusion, the illusion in my mind. i ask to calm down to the screams in my ears, to cease to the voices in my mind. i look lost around me, nothing is in possession of my senses anymore. i fall, asleep.

welcome to the dark side. where chaos is the constant, distortion forms the standard and frontiers are built out of opaque shadows. mumbling voices are hunting you through a maze of creepy synthesizer sounds. welcome to antifuse. with their latest release, the berlin-based duo nerkkirn are following their path of experimental techno sounds, this time leading into dark shades of whirring electronic sounds. by creating a gloomy, yet groovy tune, antifuse builds up a perfectly conductive path within the unique sound system of snork enterprises. like a mysterious rollercoaster, four versatile tracks are pulling you into a vague ride through various spheres of electronic sounds. starting off with high speed into the deep and gloomy mines of underground techno, dipode unfolds its dark side in full blast. moving forward, antifuse chases you upside down on a roaring bass line merging into electronichangover. there, in a reduced atmosphere of sound, subtle tunes still forcefully keep pushing you through an odd darkness until everything, then, flows into a slight glow at the end of the tunnel - reversebias.

vibe009 is here! on colored balck/orange 12- vinyl, signed by yan cook (planet rithm/delsin) a techno-industrial track that has the essence of this ukranian producer... big kick, ground noises, a 4/4 to break the dancefloor. andre kronert (odd/even) an a2 for the first remix with his analog trade mark. marco faraone retouched this track with a powerfull techno-detriot flavour. great. to close this vinyl on b2 the dub-techno master quantec (echochord). deep techno trip.

cartoon soundtrack alike electronica with elements of jazz, funk...

nights are coming and going and faces appear and vanish, great plans are made and rarely held up to. while that is the mode that keeps the machine running, from time to time something greater can evolve out this fast paced spare time profession. that is to say, it is a great pleasure to smooth the way for our dear friend * kleintierschaukel* and his * blue elephant*. a rare species whose origins are found in * motomia* (a1), that odd place where sticky clocks tick faster than time passes. still all confusion is lost in the calm whispering of * juliette*(a2), a harmony of strange confidence. despite all its apparent harmlessness, it needs the soothing voice of our all beloved le- onie to let its vast figure withdraw to the rivers and show the gentle nature of this * unterwassermann* (b1). back in his element all notches are smoothed out and movements unite in a rythmic flow. this is not a documentary, this is the blue elephant: * tv ende* (b2).

the slingshots were born in august of 2008 with the idea of recalling and recovering the rhythmic patterns of funk, the warm vocal melodies of soul, the rich instrumental approach of jazz and the energy of rock, from its origins until our times, to offer a danceable rich selection of music and sounds, suitable for everybody, specially those in love with black music. seven men holding many years of experience through a wide and varied musical career form the band.

time for some double dutch action with apollonia’s latest release, which comes courtesy of makcim & levi. the twosome have already been picking up steam in their native holland, playing at many of the country’s best-known clubs over the last few years, establishing themselves as selectors in a class of their own. and their prowess as djs is equal to their talents as producers, with their very first ep appearing on raum musik and finding its way into apollonia’s sets. now they’ve got together once again to produce their second ep just for the apollonia guys…the ‘more lettuce’ ep fits perfectly into the french label’s sound ethic, emitting a dark groovy energy throughout. for starters we have ‘more lettuce’, a gritty tech-driven monster on a mission. with its gravely percussion and air-raid siren-esque effects this is a surefire dance floor killer… listen out for the switch of pace, class. this is followed by ‘tegel’, presumably named after the airport in berlin. with this we get a kind of dingy berlin vibe, morose, grey yet ingrained with a bouncing energy that you just can’t help but bop your head to. on the flip side ‘thaiman’ injects a slightly odd feel to the ep with warped, muted sounds meandering around a subtle bassline. finally, makcim & levi close up the ep with ‘dope erwt’ another roller that will enchant the dance floor from the start, building into a bright, airy breakdown before continuing in its somber yet groovy manner.

quickly becoming one to watch in the techno circles, john shima is making waves with his fresh approach to that classic detroit sound. his contribution for boe is nothing short of a stunning representation of underground electronic music. prototype is a sonic ode to industry: blueprinted in the motor city and forged in sheffield. it s heads down for the dance floor with shimmering metallic overtones and a side order of robot jack. ancient skies points more towards chicago stylings capturing the melancholy party vibe of early cajual records with crystal clear production skills and neat arrangements. transducer is groovy experimental techno that could have easily sat on the much-revered objet d art. it s electronic music that will stand the test of time. rounding off the ep in fine style is true distance. a stunning ambient piece with deep pads and swirling melodies that complement and round of the ep perfectly.

mit precious veröffentlicht till von sein sein zweites solo-album. schon aus dem albumtitel lässt sich der wert des materials für dessen urheber ablesen. -precious- darf man als aufarbeitung früher und aktueller einflüsse begreifen. es versammelt mit u.a. mr. v, meggy, kevork & maria, the black 80s und kid enigma eine hochkarätige feature-liste auf interpretationen all der musikalischen schätze, die das künstlerische charakterprofil von seins am nachhaltigsten geprägt haben. auf diese weise fließt das album zwischen house, r&b und versoulter popmusik, führt die entlegensten bpm-welten aufs stylishste zusammen und meistert den doch oft zum scheitern verurteilten versuch, floor-funktion mit songwriter-ambition oder gar airplay-tauglichkeit zu verknüpfen.

recorded in a bunker somewhere in the ancient basque region, sagas of subterranean life is a collection of 5 sagas that are heavily influenced by scandinavian life and european culture in general. showcasing a versatile collection of 5 bits that range from moving distorted house jams to synth blops and violating techno, norse is not just a collaboration between soul notes head honcho kastil and rotterdam based gitchell moore, it s also a project that tends to avoid genre-restrictions and box thinking. odd sequences x violating drum patterns x palindrome titles = sagas of subterranean life.

hailing from berlin, but spiritually from chi-town, snuff crew are back in your area with some freshly served up basement goodies once again. following on from basement jams #1, from all the way back in 2011, the boys bring us tracks with the same playful nature as before but, dare i say it, they go even harder this time. stalwart fans of the first release can stop reading now because it will almost certainly be a blind-buy for you, four tracks obviously engineered for use in the club, whether its the massive kick in ‘what it is’ or the ravey acid lead in ‘88cents’. the jams on the b-side may do the most damage. ‘remember’ holds absolutely nothing back, with its arpeggiated bassline lead and crisper than crisp 909 drum programming. analog is a term that gets bandied about all the time nowadays, ever since so many young producers became enamoured with tape compression and hiss delay plug-ins. i know snuff crew are real analog guys though, in sound and mentality, so hearing basement jams #2 for the first time had me so excited once again.

ltd repress! someone who has become enlightened in the ways of the universe by accepting they know nothing about it… first release from this new collective of artists, already played and supported by francesco del garda, alex picone and more.... one-time only 300 copies pressing.

ednic is the italian duo of nicola di gabbia and edoardo cortopassi, and by all intents and purposes, they’re an outfit that’s on to a good thing right now. the guys make quality, analog-enriched house and techno, the likes of which comes to the fore here on puas puas, a vinyl only label that’s already featured the likes of the mole, alex piccini and carola pisaturo amongst others. first up on the exceptionally refined strands of the auberste ep sis the sounds of the original, which is a barnstorming cacophony of acid flourishes and tension-filled motifs. a track that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat for some time, it features shades of old-school electro and techno, and is the sort of track that’ll definitely rescue any ailing dancefloor. the aforementioned carola pisaturo then perks up with the first of her two remixes courtesy of her brilliant ‘church’ mix. a bumping and grinding interpretation on the original, it too keeps the suspense high, most notably thanks to a dizzying array of melodies and a series of potent basslines. her ‘botta’ remix is a more stripped back affair, albeit one that still speaks to fans of discerning fare thanks to its relentless attitude. full of shiny percussion and the odd sultry vocal smidgen, it’s further indication of a producer who looks set to enjoy an excellent 2015. this is classy stuff indeed from the puas puas label.

our third release has nothing else than berlin taste. label boss daniel boon returns to neuhain with his new powerful stormer bazinga while berlin s eternal diamonds pierre deutschmann & thomas schumacher are on the remix duties, completing a package that must not be missed from any quality playlist. berlin techno at its finest. who needs something more

on side a we have ‘diks on gruds’, a gruff dance floor banger with a deadly bassline and ultra crisp hats, which inject a solid energy from start to finish. on the flip another french hero, phil weeks, add his stomping chicago flavour into the mix reworking the track with panache. a is ‘noodlez’, a quirky joint composed of odd sounds wriggling and whirring above a slinky bassline counterposed with choppy percussion. finally, the ep closes out with ‘um?’, a sombre affair which pumps and purrs with minimal composition – subtle effects in the arrangement bounce around the beats, while a mysterious voice creeps in and out of the background. sublime ...

slightly odd warehouse-kind-of-find from the west coast of usa. tracky beats, driving organ-synth-pads on the b, sometimes almost jacking and definitely a little bit wrong. this 12inch has more real taste of the underground than the regular limited edition hyped labels these days.

the next vault series episode starts with the mysterious hidden criterion of truth. nothing is known about him. a stranger, who is pursued by the government and the police. he knows the truth. welcome to world of vault!

where -oh year- takes you more to the funky side, -dayrun- is a more techno influenced trip to the dephts of the night. with the hypnotic synths and wobbly bassline it invites you to loose yourself in the dance. on the other side, the detroitesque strings, that glimpse up during the break and the pushing hihats, it leaves you with a smile and your hands in the air. to complete this fabulous ep, markus throws in some percussion and extra deep basslines on -pingel pangel snop-. a track that is filled up with funk & soul, designed to be nothing but a house track with a twinkle in one s eye. a true groove monster.

marshall jefferson, ron hardy & frankie knuckles collaborating across 2 sides of a single 12inch need we say more? obviously that s a dream line-up right there & of course the results of such a meeting of minds is nothing short of outstanding! just listen to the record & you ll see! essential business... -ride the rhythm- came out on trax in 1986, making it one of the -first wave- house records to land & make a massive impression here in the uk & in europe. marshall jefferson s fingerprints are all over this bad boy, his massive piano riffs, non-stop bass-lines, the pounding drums, everything about this record is just huge! he had an incredible knack for making accessible, club tracks with cross over appeal that the underground heads clamored to get hold of at the same time. throw frankie & ronnie (literally) in the mix & you ve got solid, classic, all-time gold on your hands (& turntables!). fully re-mastered, re-pressed & re-released for 2015 in it s original format with the permission & participation of all rights holders with all original trax label artwork intact.

turquoise blue recordings was founded with a simple aim: releasing house music that is deep, sometimes dark but always groovy and underground. it is therefore no surprise the label is now releasing an ep by finnish born producer, phonogenic. with previous releases on 20:20 vision, turbo, moodmusic and others, tuomas salmela aka phonogenic has spent most of his recent time in the studio where he is preparing his forthcoming album. despite this, he did find time to capture the true essence of turquoise blue with this brand new ep, bringing us three originals and a collaborative remix from canadian producers the mole and hreno. the ep will be released as a limited edition180g baby blue coloured vinyl with a full colour sleeve on reverse board

early support from raresh, fred p. julietta, dana ruh!! after a first year of spellbinding releases, sol asylum returns in 2015 with a fresh various artist’s compilation featuring three finely crafted tracks from the sol asylum crew to kick-start the labels second year. bringing together a family of artists who have been there since the very beginning. starting off with the odd boys danny and damian, we go all the way back to the first release with a brand new remix of broken spell. whisking us away to a parallel universe of this odyssey, this remix is masterly conjured into a percussive exploration of the planet of odd. following the odd ones, julie marghilano unleashes another side of sol asylum with dragon drops. she unveils her known atmospheric soundscapes but with a heavily detailed rhythmic twist, made by experimenting with her field recordings to create a more stripped down sound that shows her range and versatility. last but certainly not least, miss jools calima brings the ep to a triumphant closure like a mystical fog. the elements of the track melt into drowning synths with crackling percussion and the elegantly designed grooves that levitate us steadily through the hypnotic melodies. the percussive strength of each track, while still being diverse links this collaboration of like-minded family members together as a cohesive potion.
