after two re-releases of conrad schnitzler classics, (zug & ballet statique) now m=minimal releases a completely new work from the pioneer of electronic music. conrad schnitzler is a sound explorer. for many years, he has been on expeditions, journeys through his collection of electronic synthesizers almost every day. sounds he liked has been conserved on tape and stored in his sound library. the result is a huge library of audio files, he calls them >solen<. >borngräber & struever< have got the chance to examine that library and started to con-struct new pieces out of the hidden gems. these are not remixes but new compositions. none of the sound combinations were thought or heard before. the 8 tracks form an album independent of any trend and therefore it becomes a real acoustic environment for everyone. the album was produced at studio.wannsee. to give the album more authenticity, the complete audio processing was done using analog equipment. they not only used many classics among the finest synthesizers and outboard equipment, but also custom built tube gear. the icing on the cake are the tubes used from the 60s, which bought christian borngräber on a trip through the atacama desert in a small radio repair business in the city of calama. thanks to the desert climate even the packaging of the tubes looked as new

tommy walker 3 has been hiding for a while now, after releasing a slew of material in 2008 (including a release on the sadly defunct dissident). now hes back with >dance music clubbing<, and with a name like this youd probably expect this ep to either be a bit off the wall, or unintentionally awful. we are glad to say it fits into the former category, offering an ep of colourful elastic space disco mixed with a more classic vibe. opener >disconnected< sets the tone with its 80s, verging on hair metal guitar riffs. >mwj1< impresses with its almost seinfeld-esque slap bass, and synth piano stabs while >errational< is characterised by its wonky synth melody and spaced-out laser gurgles. finally >v brains< melds driving live bass with huge slabs of cosmic squelch. if you like your disco fierce, this will definitely be worth a look

such an intense, variegated, and singularly saccharin sound can only come from the mind of someone whos in love with life and music. its what puppy love sounds like for our generation. following the paul woolford remix of t. williams and terri walkers heartbeat comes local action 006, the first 12inch release by an amazing new artist from manchester, uk, called damu. after this, hes got material penciled in for blackdowns keysound label and more. the title track, a stand-out from girl units xlr8r podcast last year, is one of the best tunes weve put out yet, full of colour with just the right amount of lushness to it. while a lot of uk dance music right now seems to use colourful synths in an unimaginative way, damus drip, glow and fizz at every turn in the same way that ill blu or funkystepz do. listening to mermaids like diving head-first into a lagoon. after that youve got three more killers: the iron assault of >beat of zen< and the few-more-intense >sequinny<, plus a ‘beat of zen remix by chicago juke titans dj rashad and dj earl. early support comes from lv, girl unit, sinden, brodinski, starkey and more

jem stones unique take on any genre is always compelling and highly individual. he made an impressive and memorable contribution to the early days of electro swing with the break-beat, dance-floor-filling flavors of his debut release on freshly squeezed, the electric circus ep (2010). now jem returns with a perfectly timed and unexpectedly fresh twist on a sound that has sometimes, in less skilled hands, become formulaic in its swift rise. the perpetual lotion ep raises the bar once again and opens up many new possibilities. this record will change the future direction of electro swing!
here the 1920s and 30s samples arent just backed by a house beat, but given such a distorting twist the whole has become something else entirely. the ep is slower and darker than before with brooding bass and deeper production that adds a vital contemporary edge.

now hes back with three glorious deep techno tracks that mark the start of an interplanetary trilogy for the label. lead track >exopshere< takes up where his komisch debut left off, with foreboding, dub-tinged chords building into a menacing climax and swarms of driving, razor sharp percussion keeping the arrangement focused on the dance floor. on the flip, >deep end< sees parallel exploring more esoteric sounds, with swirling, layered chords underpinned by dubbed out drums, heavy claps and hissing percussion, like an update of classic sterac material. >analogue city< brings a mellow end to the release. deep pads and ghostly sounds hover above a warm, splurging bassline that recalls underground resistance in mellow, tripped out mode. if youre looking for the classic sounds reinterpreted for contemporary techno dance floors, then make sure to get an audience with the >cosmic observer<.

release no. 4 on the limited label is done by the two german djs tensor& re-direction. both are resident djs in the well-known cosmo club in oberhausen and already played on big hardcore partys like army of hardcore, earthquake, hardcore warriors, pussy motherfuckers and many more. besides that, tensor has been working for the important records recordstore and online-shop for more than 10 years and now moved to the label management.
the ep offers the two completely different tracks >fear<, a melodic mainstream slammer (with mc vocals by mc axys and a great remix by their friend thorax, still known from his release on important hardcore limited) and the hard, straight in ya face track >hate<, with a stunning remix by megarave artist squaresoundz.

he s now back with a new 2 track ep, wait & see, that gives a sneak peak into his album that wil be released in october.on the a-side, wait & see, a secret weapon already triggered by agoria on his recent sets. the track opens with a steady but slightly dizzying rhythm pattern that eventually makes way for an androgynous chorus that build and lift your hands in the air with them. on the flipside, -love birds- a night owl, minimal and graceful and which waves its wings of synth arrangements and nocturnal chants till the first shines of the day

released in may last year, his thwack ep showcased the kind of pulsing, throbbing techno sound that few other producers can equal in intensity. now we bring you the remixes.

hallucination limited delivers a limited edition vinyl only release from none other than fellow new yorker… zev of wolf + lamb. gathered here are zevs strongest outings for the club since the brilliant >forget the world feat. beckford<. we dare say this is his best work to date with >queen of hearts< being one of the freshest takes we have heard on good ole house music this year. pushing all the right buttons, but also some most would never think to. queen of hearts feat. panu moon the initial groove instantly does what all great house does, but what follows are the contemplative vocals of a showman on the road via panu moons soft country drawl… playfully tweaked by zev adding an edge without taking away from panus croon. an unexpected techno vibe begins to ebb and flow over the groove yet it all magically stays together through the voice of a man searching for the queen of his heart. its house music with both an edge and sense of humor not unlike paperclip people, but in a vein more akin to >every now and then< by ralph falcon

part 2 of the series of 3 eps unraveling unreleased classic house tracks by stefan goldmann. victoriaville continues its research into stefan goldmanns sweet back catalogue with a triple vinyl series of never before released house material. revisiting the years 2000 - 2005, >emptying the vaults< highlights the era of stefan goldmanns “uk years. often his actual releases with classic, ovum and front room reflected just a part of the possible. now victoriaville proudly steps in to let the whole thing shine. restored from the original master tapes and cut by d&ms rashad, heres some startling evidence of how deep the roots of house actually were in berlin years before the still ongoing hype set in. >ghost revisited< and >crack it< build on lush house grooves, while >heatwave< leans to the dub side of things. enjoy and look out for part 3!

following the legendary first two, stoically super minimal records >sog 1< and >sog 2< that provide ecstasy disguised as boredom on kompakt extra/speicher in 2007, and the outstanding beautifully bizarre >sog - abweichung< on profan in 2010, we are now listening to >fremde hÄnde<. like its predecessors, this sog stands in the tradition of >the art of omission< with wolfgang voigt variegating his preference for the bluntly straightforward quaver bass in two different forms. the a-side contains a tonally noncommittal sequence ambling across the keyboard in quantised form, reminiscing of the arpeggiator (accompaniment function) function of early 70ies and 80ies synthesizers. on the b-side, daring and thoroughly unquantised quaver rhythms rock around a bass drum that, as the only straight element, tries to keep the whole thing together. the result sounds a little like a delirious can live.
