this is the birth of b00m jack s new baby my dear friends n freaks... being asked to describe the 22 year old german musician kolja gerstenberg - one possible answer could sound like that he might be the lost twin brother of jamie jones (but it s just one among many other suitable answers) the youngster and music student (he s studying drums at university) kolja is a total opposite of the typical modern-music-scene-kind-of-guy as he sticks to his passion, which is house music in it s classic disguise like 20 years ago. kolja is not interested in following hypes or trends. what he loves are raw & dirty us house like trax or disco house flavoured tunes with loads of jazzy smell and glitter all over. kolja is and will stay real & authentic by keeping this behaviour. he is not aiming at superfi just for the higher potential of success or money or fame . . .

based in peckham, tokyo wax is a unified collection of creatives sharing an appreciation for a broad range of electronic music. having refined their tastes and gathered experience through promotion and radio shows their focus has since shifted to releasing records and in doing so, providing a platform for auspicious piers to bloom. in the wake of the success of that inaugural record from label owners presence and persona they ready their carefully crafted return with the second installment coming courtesy of 20 year-old mastermind circula backed up by endeguena mulu of ethiopian records on his first ever remix.

karousel is the new alias from irish producer gavin herlihy. forged in the fires of house and determined by a steely dedication to timeless deep dancefloor theory, the alias begins life on one of the uk s most trusted vinyl labels, illusion recordings. gavin started learning to produce in 2005 and less than a year in scored one of the tracks of the year in 2006 with machine a homework, a techno opus hailed by laurent garnier and dj hell as one of the tracks of the year. over the next few years a move to berlin lead to gigs at clubs like panorama bar, fabric and later circo loco while his productions took root in a variety of different genres and big labels. karousel is the expression of gavins house leanings rooted in the sampling of dusty old jazz and disco records and the use of hardware.

the next release on paul rip s specimen records is by god of the machine, the brainchild of deep house and techno maestro, derrick thompson a.k.a. drivetrain. the ep kicks of with the original, a powerful slice of jackin tribal techno, its bleeps, tones and chants sitting atop a tight percussive groove that s infectious from the first beat to the last drop. next up comes hijacker s electro workout. its beats are old school yet the attitude is set firmly in the future with its square wave bass line, trippy noises and swooping scikfi pads. santonio echols takes it back to detroit with a simple yet driving tech house rendition containing sublime melodic chords, eerie pads and a hypnotic pad stab that sends tingles up your spine. mr.c finishes with one of his typically infectious acid workouts, where he adds a cheeky bassline, haunting pads and cowbell pings to blend and morph into the twisted effects of a psychoactive substance.

support from carl craig, dj hell, karotte, joris voorn....
glasgows darkroom dubs continue on form and add to a gleaming 12-year-old catalogue with another addition to their limited vinyl series courtesy of long-term label friends, of norway who make a welcome return.

another essential contribution to the studio barnhus catalogue from the unstoppable force that is baba stiltz. these ultramodern dance pop anthems see young baba utilizing his own voice in a more direct and heartfelt manner than on any of his previous barnhus recordings, as well as dusting off the old acoustic guitar. much more to come, until then: lets make this last, dont move too fast make it for real, know how you feel lets make this last, dont move too fast lets make this real, know how you feel, dont move too fast make it real, know how i feel

von der reeperbahn ins künstlerviertel - von großer freiheit zur münchner freiheit, von hamburg nach münchen -- genauer gesagt nach schwabing, dem ortsteil münchens, der in den 60er- und 70er-jahren aufgrund der kulturellen vielfalt abseits des sonst eher konservativen münchens (natürlich -- man ist ja in bayern) bei den hipstern schwer angesagt war und noch heute vom damaligen ruhm zehrt. den dazu passenden soundtrack schwabing affairs liefert einmal mehr das kölner diggler label (ob der dritte teil der serie porz affairs heißen wird?), welches erneut die archive nach soundtracks aus der halbwelt durchwühlt hat, um den zumindest musikalischen flair schwabings wiederzubeleben.

while jamming and improvising, their way of working invented itself: programming and playing everything live while recording directly to 5 minute audio tapes. the whole post process of mixing and editing is cut out and the results are vivid snapshots of improvised live tracks organised into little stories. combining these stories results in an electronic trip through a galaxy of sound, experienced from the front seat of an old russian spaceship with a view to kill.

eklo 032 is really proud to present you justin zerbst. he had released music between 97 & 99 onthe australian label red ember records from ewan jansen . some unreleased tracks from 98 & 99 in here, plus a track repressed from red ember, old school deep shit, lets rave.

shortly after his first ep on dnuos ytivil, sub-division of bristol imprint livity sound, simo cell, neo-parisian and nantes native, puts his second release out on fragil musique. on this one, the young producer asserts his bass-tainted electro influences. highly skilled and very technical dj, but above all open to bridges between genres and eras, the record feels like he conceived it for his own club usage. on the a side, two subtle twin tracks, -reading rashid- and -soko ban-. cycling melodies and hypnotic pads sketch two bass outlines, as simple as effective, that seem perfectly fit for switching from a stripped down techno track to an old jungle weapon. on the flip, hit track -meteor racer- is surprising. a rawer and more stripped down electro piece that lifts the veil a bit more on the young producers talent. those four brilliantly crafted track definitely place simo cell among the french newcomers to watch closely.

marshall applewhite & detroit jungle mainstay 8en find common ground in old school acid house & hardcore, so the two have cleverly crafted a release that will slay any room it is played to. 1st of 2 singles.

this new strand release on lowriders, maleza is a very personal take on bass music, juke, west coast hiphop, jamaican music, prepared pianos, old detuned synths, odd time signatures and huge live reverbs. the idea of the record came when i was going through a lot of personal struggle and i was not able to get out of it. in the same period i decided to run in the woods near my home early in the morning. i ran every day, and ran and ran. eventually i got out of my problems. so i left the maleza away. this is a very personal record, each sound has a deep meaning about me and my loved ones. maleza means bad herbs, weeds, undergrowth in spanish.

with b&w printed sleeve - housed in cover art from p.a.m.s misha hollenbach. studio styrka springs a leak with three new tracks from villa abo, the mainstay of veteran swedish analogue unit frak. released by australian label noise in my head, sibilant is the product of a mutual appreciation for severed heads and terse tapes, both of which propelled a 13 year old jan svensson to form frak back in 1987. on warming up signal, svensson sounds the nuclear alarm with an unforgiving techno meltdown that leaves no survivors. the flip gives our disintegrated minds some relief with drum-magnet, a paranoid beat track recorded in collaboration with karlskrona punk rocker nebula, and the hypnotic syndrome beautiful.

for the 10th release of the label we have a solid ep by the label owner, rhythm&soul. after few strong releases on other labels it s time to put some warm vibes and juicy beats on his own label. slow town x has an old school taste but sounds very fresh at the same time. serious grooves ahead! -lost grooves- is a hypnotic track that keeps you dancing and flying from the beginning till the end. -cookies- is a classic sampling house track with fat 909 beats. a tribute to a big hip hop producer that passed away (for those who know!). and finally when he goes deep is a long oneside track that drives you through a deep trip while a female voice reminds you what it sounds like when he goes deep. a release full of rhythm and soul of course. repress

ontals work excites many conflicting emotions. exuberant, convoluted and theatrical plots define the watchwords attached to the serbian duo. they represent one of the most paradigmatic examples of how industrial/techno can still offer a wide range of pleasant surprises. a visceral understanding of the scenic rhythm space vs. void establishes a metamorphic composition in short of an almost baroque sensitivity. always moving around an unstable fringe of intuition-rules-over-eclecticism, together with an attitude of total irreverence against the old aphorism, but keeping at the same time an incredible discipline of sophistication, produce a situation where anything touched by them have to be immediately placed at the top of the evolution line of the electronic music. “pietà” simply shows this feeling at their best.

limited to 500 copies with downloadcode included. continuing his work with memory not only as a subject but also as a process, michael anderson has culled many of the sounds on this record from the past. but this is not a record of rehashed material or remixes. rather, drekkas music is made through continually delving into an archive, digging up and repurposing old recordings, live performances, and forgotten snippets of the voices of out-of-touch friends.

stix records is a sub-division of favorite recordings, recently launched with a first official single by taggy matcher birdy & nixon (stix033), who pleased us with two reggae-rocksteady renditions of the famous black keys. precisely specialized in the exercise of producing covers with a reggae twist, the new label presents his first album entitled *disco reggae*. many artists faithful to the stable of favorite recordings and its various sub-labels are invited for the occasion: the dynamics, blundetto, grandmagneto, 7 samurai, john milk or taggy matcher. all came and brought their respective touch to this first compilation, with among other things some of the rarest titles from their big single records’ years, but also 4 new and exclusive productions. each of them delivers a great disco-reggae version of classic hits by some artists as diverse as madonna, herbie hancock, justin timberlake, the commodores, the o jays, curtis mayfield, harry nilsson or sugarhill gang. whatever the genre or the period, nothing can resist their inventiveness and creativity, to the point sometimes we confuse between originals and covers. everything is remastered and cut at carvery records (uk), known for their expertise in caribbean and disco music. the vinyl lp comes in a deluxe version, housed in an old-school tip-on jacket.
