ultimate block party breaks volume 3 continues the tradition that began in the bronx in the 1970’s, where “break djs” would take that one part of the record that dancers would go absolutely crazy for. that part where all the music breaks down to nothing but the essence: drums and percussion. these are all truly timeless beats that sound as fresh today as they did when the founding fathers like kool herc, bam, flash and hollywood were catching them for the frst time in community centers throughout the city. we’ve edited and extended these breaks for maximum effect on the dancefloor - so you don’t have to. enjoy!

brooklyn based luminary recloose readies his second 12inch for the label and in doing so enlists the help of mara tk of electric wire hustle, ezrakh and son of sound of house 2 house and strictly rhythm fame. his spirit knows ep adds to a catalogue of more than 20 years - one thats touched the likes of planet e, rush hour and peacefrog and in a similar vein to honey rocks - his latest offering comprises 3 eloquent cuts of house music and carries with it a balmy sense of soul that fans both old and new will relish.

toy tonics mushroom house series brings together different shades of afro-weirdo-psychedelic vibes in dance music. all tracks have been made exclusively for toy tonics. the musical range is wide: the third ep goes from arabic guitars to nubian chants and looots of percussions. the bass drum is four-on-the-floor, but switches from midtempo (kiwi: we are here) to classic new york lofi disco grooves (ponty mython) the other 2 tracks on the ep feature an emptier vibe: less toms more drum machines. more techno. red axes deliever probably one of their weirdest works. their munk rework is pure craziness. the melodies come from another space. the last track on the ep is made by old toy tonics friends from milano: the barking dogs. they teamed up with tom trago in the basement studio of the great record store they run in milan: serendeepity records. they are known for selling obscure, but classy music for dance floors and thats what they do when the make music on their own. like on your high: an obscure groove meets a sloppy bassline and stoned vocals.

the reveries begin with a simple electrical hum – a starting signal for the appearance of a vibrant array of sound, shifting before us in seemingly random motion. before we know it, all those pulsating melodies, razor-cut hifi-house beats and drunken robot jazz ensembles start forming into patterns, secretly & perfectly designed by one art alfie. a long time operator in stockholm’s small but insistent underground music scene, oscar wedrén broke through internationally in 2012 with the karlovak project, founded with on-off studio and dj partner rudolf nordström, a.k.a. mr. tophat. the duo’s inexplicably fresh takes on classic dance music tropes is as much a result of a brilliantly odd pairing of personalities as of a defined concept and a precise method in searching for the perfect house groove. while writing reveries of, released early spring 2017 through studio barnhus, art alfie freed himself of all conceptual footholds, delving instead deep into his archives of old and new memories and feels, working with improptu field recordings and emotionally-guided sampling processes. he came back with an intricate and personal debut album and he didn’t lose his groove on the way.

introducing amberoom: a brand new name from three old friends. manuel tur, adrian hoffmann and ramin nouyan. operating in a similar mindset to manuels ribn project a few years ago, amberoom is a celebration of the freestyle spirit. three mates and a bunch of machines jamming the day away with no intention but creating beautiful moments, dynamics and tones.

footwork label boss jay lumen is back on board with two massive techno bangers.-warehouse trip- is a rolling peak time ride with some nice old school elements.you can hear special dusty stabs in the break to add the right balance for the track.-search- is a chord oriented anthem with great bass synth sprays on a fat kick and bass line.it has a nice contrast and leads you to the dance floor step by step.

chicago dj and producer olin follows up the debut release on his new record label, boundary movement, with tpi featuring four diverse cuts. up-tempo electro, moody minimalism, old-school melodies, and chugging deep house all woven seamlessly. the a side begins with “tpi,” an exercise in minimalism and micro-detail. unmistakably olin’s own, insistent synth stabs keep time while needlepoint percussion keeps the ear guessing. if you thought olin’s palette was limited to techno and house, a2 “corsaren” will prove you wrong — this is pitch-perfect electro in a classic style, a slow-building interplay of sci-fi synthesizers wrapped around icy cool call-and-response kicks and handclaps. b1 “thanks rob” is bom02’s most straightforward cut — and one of its best. building momentum slowly across its eight-minute runtime, “thanks rob” impresses as the larger-than-life bass swell hits. the dancefloor will be rapt – proceed carefully. b2 “hyssop,” feeling like it comes from a similar vintage as “corsaren,” might have been called “ambient techno” decades ago, but its upwardly mobile percussion makes it feel as at home in a club as it does in the chill-out room. it’s just the thing to close out this broad-spectrum record. – chris zaldua

zweiter lp-sampler als tribut an den legendären soul-club twisted wheel, der mit seinem resident-dj roger eagle acht jahre lang an zwei verschiedenen locations der definitive soul- und rhythm & blues-hotspot im manchester der 1960’er jahre war und dem britischen publikum bislang ungehörte, afroamerikanische tanzmusik beibrachte. mit 16 definitiven klassikern, darunter bob & earls -harlem shuffle-, -the duck- von jackie lee oder screamin jay hawkins -i put a spell on you-.

night visions is a collection of stories which dance alive over an infectious blend of afro-latin rhythms and contemporary dancefloor beats. told by a variety of characters, drawn from the vibrant imagination of chico mann, these stories take place in an endless night, where we move through dimly lit clubs, jungle moonlight, pitch black desert plains, and the internal shadows of personal darkness. while the characters often stumble and search blindly in the dark, the persistent presence of a distant light provides an underlying direction and hopefulness to all the songs. captain planet s production, informed by his regular crowd-moving dj sets, keeps the album sounding effortlessly danceable & contemporary. meanwhile, chicos vocals have an instant classic appeal, hinting at old cuban rumba and vintage afrobeat lps. the two are aided by guest vocals from regular collaborators kendra morris & brit manor, as well as some talented friends who contributed additional horns, guitar & marimba

optimo music are delighted to present the second full-length from the golden filter, still / alone. after relocating to london and playing shows around europe for a year and a half, self-imposed pariahs penelope trappes and stephen hindman delved into creating a two-sided existential opus by renting out old studio spaces around the uk and using mostly analog 80 s instruments, machines and effects. an album about being in love with pure solitude, when still // alone is separated into two distinct sides, record one, still, is a hypnotic meditation for the nightclub. wavy patterns of sound and light bounce off of penelope’s literary vocal bursts, layered over the ominous deep synths and arpeggiators, held together only by a strict 4/4 beat. the rhythm, ironically forcing the body to move, however internally focused and mindful, still. record two, alone, takes the club offline and into the fringes of raw, odd pop.

one of italy’s brightest new talents, clap! clap! (aka cristiano crisci) returns with his second album for black acre, following on from his colorful breakthrough debut lp ‘tayi bebba’. bringing together disparate inspirations and styles onto the dance-floor of his mind, ‘a thousand skies’ sees clap! clap! create a high energy and inventive kaleidoscopic fusion of sound – drawing on the traditional global rhythms of the old world, hip hop, footwork, uk bass and house.

vlad dinu opens mihai bravu s 1st release starting the audio journey with deep in my house, a track that occupies the entire a side, just like a proper tool should. as the name of the track hints, we find ourselves submerged in deep territory: a tight and groovy bass line, laced with a steady percussion, sprinkled with some 16bit arcade reminiscent accents and soothing intermingled vocal cuts. the deep vibe is crafty perpetuated by several synths at play, which together combine in such a way to add a wide atmospheric feel to the composition. definitely deep in my house sounds and feels more like of a 90’s tune, and while listening to it, one could easily find himself drift into the nostalgia of the good old days.
side b goes even deeper with two tracks defined by the notion of head tracks. gun zah continues the storyline with twisty percussive rhythms and a groovy atmosphere, tailored into a bangin floor choon while questions answered submerges the listener into layers of groovy basslines, swifty percs and milky synths, all put together into the form of a most alive track.

for its third volume jongno invites old collaborator and friend of the arts laura ingalls to the fold for more obscure korean edit madness. laura ingalls takes it down a notch with his signature endless dub delays and french touch filters, looping kim wan sun into oblivion on top of 707 daft beats, complete with guitar solo geekiness and spliced out vocals. on side b, mysterious digger and editor jongno edit takes the disco to the max on side a with a tina hwang facelift that will make you do the korean shuffle and back. loaded with bass slapness and disco synth toms this will fit right into the late night boogie and day light workout of anyone with a heartbeat.

she cant love you delivers smooth, soulful vocals and an abundance of attitude, propelled by provocative, cheeky vocals sitting over tough, funky rhythms and retro synth lines. the original mix has bounces with a us garage-like groove via chopped breaks supercharged with a solid kick and tons of nightclub funk. speaking of old school, egyptian lover supplies the electric boogaloo with remix that returns to his electro roots of the 1980s. the vocal sits comfortably in these new shoes, providing a classic-tinged alternative glance at this tune.

first second label s third record untitled ep comes from dj ok + dj bwin, which is two projects by leibniz alongside felix paul (making dj ok) and golem club’s alex hoppe (making dj bwin). the record consists of 4 old school, beat heavy and break infused house cuts ready for the club.

played by sven vÄth !!!in a recent interview, i:cube mentioned how difficult it is to finish an album. he finally triumphed over the chimera and delivered a new ep – lucifer en discothèque – as a prelude to his forthcoming album (he must have fought the chimera for real!) after 15 years of an almost constant production, how can any artist possibly avoid the pitfall of repetition while re-inventing his style? cube delivers a masterly answer! as its name implies, transpiration (>perspiration< in english) is sure to make dance floors sweat around the globe. whats fascinating with these new tracks, especially transpiration, is the way chaix manages to reconcile the old with the new, his 15-year heritage of production with all the recent technological developments. this track reveals various influences, for instance todd terry, godfather of the 90s ny house, as well as sheffield rave parties of the same era yet revisited without an ounce of pomposity.

it was such a hot day in may 2014, we all remember, moscoman drop by his home town of tel aviv to do a party with krikor aka crackboy as his guest, they had a few hours to kill just before the gig, mosco rang up his old compadres and brothers in arms red axes, to see what they were up to, they were just hanging at the studio, “we’re coming” he said, and the rest is history, thanks to the taxi driver abed that was waiting downstairs to take them to the gig, they had vocals to finish this track and mosco had the chance to play this track that night already. powered by a uncompromising mix from no doubt one of the best producers of electronic music, roman flügel, and another killer by red axes, not a lot is left to do but wait for this monster record to drop.

lake people, the man with a knack for aural subtleties, is spot-on with his first ep for uncanny valley. over the course of four tracks he showcases a quiet different approach compared to the sophisticated house music the leipzig based artist released on labels like permanent vacation or connaisseur recordings. on -break the pattern- he relies heavily on the good old boom tschak-paradigm of electro, without completely giving up his trademark sound. -level msk- combines staccato-type chords with a stuttering beat that stick in your mind. the acidic -september futuristic- with its stoic drumming has almost a krautrock feel to it. on the flipside, the playful -chords in chorus- feels like an early contender for this year s summer anthem with chords and acid lines from heaven. the ep closes with -pull off-, a perfect example for lake people s ability to compose tracks with an emotional depth.

it seemed like neo ouija, a norfolk based idm imprint, had closed up shop. four years of silence suggested that founder lee norris, aka metamatics, had decided to call it a day. but looks can be deceiving. 2016 saw the boss release a cd album of fluid acid, squelching electro and heartfelt electronics. shipwrec are now bringing four choice cuts from bodypop to the vinyl faithful. proudly sitting on the difficult to define shelf, norris seamlessly shifts from frigid winter moods to warming autumnal sunshine. old-school sounds are rewired, softened by delicate keys and steady beats. machine music morphs into organic matter. acid coils, echoed bleeps and clicks grow and blossom into vivid audio vistas with metamatics, once again, proving his musical mastery

this opus was recorded in a room transformed into a studio, where countless hours of work happened on an old computer, with trips back and forth to the grocery to buy liters of soda. in between soundtrack, jazz-funk and house, the beginnings of this ep find their roots in the encounter between lucien and dj gregory (point g), spiritual guide, who pushed into an introspective work, where the feelings were ultimately revealed sincerely. this ep is also the meeting of 4 musicians whove known each other for a long time and, together, form lucien & the kimono orchestra.

denis sulta follows up the feverishly received it s only real on numbers with the first in a triptych of releases on his own sulta selects label. -nein fortiate- & -dubelle oh xx (jvip)- straddle the release, occupying the same sound and space for which sulta has become so renowned. both tracks are of course staples in sulta s dj sets, and have been heard all across uk & europe in recent months with -dubelle oh xx (jvip)- also an undoubted highlight on jackmaster s recent dj kicks mix. two stripped back, melodically driving tracks that rely on the age old premise of making people dance!

nice price deal !!! based on an old sketch for a track that was lost for 20 years and then suddenly resurfaced on an old dat tape when he moved his studio, latest offering from per martinsen aka mental overdrive takes us into a universe where big pianos and bright sunshine is the order of the day. to make things even more summery and relaxed he teamed up with fellow norwegian disco connoisseur rune lindbaek for a joint remix, and while in the studio they had a swift visit from chanteuse anneli drecker - recently known for her position as front vocalist for röyksopp - who added her soothing voice to the mix to transport you even further into balearic bliss. finally this release also introduces the bright new talent of boska, delivering his more uptempo remix duties to complete this essential package to kick off the summer season.

the coeo boys need no introduction anymore. their two last singles made it into the sets of so many djs. they are among the emerging artists of that new german scene of kids that make house music inspired by old jazz and funk records. the boys are mad about rare vinyl. and they love to make music with a positive spirit. yes, there is something sunny in their tracks. something that instantly makes you want to move. we heard so many mixtapes that started with a coeo track. makes sense: they are perfect to set a vibe. a good mood. but if you know that the coeo boys work in a studio over the roofs of munich, with a fantastic view over the lights of the city, with a great vibe where you see all the glammy colors of the light in the night then you understand why coeos music sounds as it sounds

howl in full effect, timeless various tracks from their artists, an homage to the raw original house music slamming, old school vibes

the esteemed will & ink imprint hits the mini milestone of a tenth release by inviting old and new associates to remix some of the label s still essential back catalogue. the results are as weird and wonderful as you would expect of a label that has always gone its own way. mosca flips second lucas into something intense and brutal, with lashings of frazzled industrial synth sounds whipping about above pinging and high impact drums. italian chevel then transforms third lucas into five minutes of otherworldly machine made oddness. livity sound star asusu comes with a typically hi fidelity re-work of second carol. dubby and loopy, metallic and clean, it is a pristine track to get dance floors locked to a groove. and first carol reworked by its original producers yaleesa hall and malin, minimal dub with freaky sound design and the result is an earworm of a tune that burrows deep into your brain.

new york collective sheik ’n’ beik follow up a slew of lauded 12 inchs from japans keita sano, legowelt & xosar and their previous effort from hermans with the richly emotive return of voiski. with a back catalogue of considerable depth - one that’s touched the likes of l.i.e.s and delsin, dekmantel’s ‘ufo’ series - voiski’s latest offering carries with it a trademark degree of bite whilst remaining balanced with the sort of moody melodicism that fans both old and new will relish. ‘5th dolphin transmission’ kicks things off with a tense sequence tumbling through granular drums and a staggered, luminescent synth line. ‘let down disco’ then dims the lights slightly with soft, buoyant melodies and flickering high frequencies that round off a nicely varied release and another solid addition to the sheik n beik catalogue.

the dub album any discerning house music lovers will enjoy! a playful mixture of modern beats with deep roots reggae influences, all heavily processed in an old-fashioned manner with a political and social messages expressed through.
