time to welcome ben sun to d.o.g with his incredible love momentum ep containing three tracks of the raw stuff to groove to. some may know ben sun from his previous releases on the brilliant voyeurhythm label, his own vinyl-only imprint distributed by clone which was established in 2009. others might have his remixes of reggie dokes on royal oak or deep space orchestra on boogie originals. whatever, this man is making serious waves right now and adds yet another feather in the collective cap of young antipodean producers making underground house music with their own unique and authentic approach.

the only thing that keeps dam swindle from actually being from detroit is that they are born and raised in amsterdam, a little over 6000 kilometers away. so even though they’ve got their 4 feet firmly positioned on dutch soil, their heads and hearts are rooted deep into the soul of the motor city.

ntroducing the latest, fresh off the presses,limited edition slab of essential vibes: nix004. on this one were proud to showcase our latest artiste: joonipah. hes our very own geordie, cheeky chappie and the boy done good. as per usual, were limiting it to 300 vinyl only treats for the world, all carefully hand numbered at our top secret production facility south of london.

nina simone was one of the best blues singers of the 20th century. only someone the likes of billie holiday and bessie smith had the power to lay a soul bare like she could, as her stripped-down be my husband shows. naked like a field-holler, this song would later capture the imagination of jeff buckley and antony hegarty. nina simone never, ever disappoints.
re-released for the first time on vinyl since 1965, we hope we do >pastel blues< justice with this 180 grams audiophile vinyl pressing.

thats some serious shit ! is a new record label dedicated to old house music and to dancers. following the steps of kerry chandler, mr. fingers, ron trent, masters at work and so on... away from the hype, we want to bring back the spirit of the early 90s when house music was not only music, but a communion of body, soul, freedom and love. we hope to get you with us... in the dance, in the club. now ride on the sound

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.

on le rire ep jared wilson (7777 - skudge / detroit) leads the way with a pest chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of us-acid-dubstep version of addison groove, with a taste of slacker jak-beat for the nirvana generation! a melodic decomposer, scottish dam mantle (warp - ghostly international / glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. however deep excavations into the intense choir of >voyage vers l harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a slum village like beat and a post-industrial version of melody nelson. thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to luc marianni. famous for his duo as well as his label syncom data, nukubus (bunker / rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. the 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. this swirling reinterpretation of mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. its out of respect for the original work that nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. if youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. please note that the distribution of these eps will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of luc mariannis vinyls

unreleased egyptian jazz: 2x45s set in a unique hand-printed fold-open pyramid! four sides of previously-unreleased ethnic mythic mystic jazz from the legendary egyptian drummer! before the re-release of his album with the cairo jazz band recently, the name salah ragab was best known to jazz fans and record collectors by way of another lp that was recorded with sun ra in the early 70s. his album >prism music unit< with the cairo jazz band was released in egypt with another by the cairo free jazz ensemble, but perhaps only salah himself knew of the other songs he had recorded at the time, but didnt make it onto these lps. the tapes lurking for decades in an old trunk, its taken until now for them to see the light of day, and we present them here as four amazing pieces of egyptian jazz on 2 seven inch singles. entombed within a hand-printed, hand-made pyramid shaped box, this is the first time in 40 years that these recordings will have come to light. ladies and gentlemen, behold the splendor that is salah ragab and the cairo jazz band!

it is with great pleasure that we announce our fifth release by santi, the excellent 12 inch is a combination of melodic synth patterns and nice piano chords with an intoxicating voice on a silky melody which makes this release perfect for the summer 2012!

hauschkas first releases of 2012 come in the form of two stunning remix 12 inches that are pitched at the dancefloor and kick off a wider project of reinterpretations of his last full-length. here, ep1 sees two serious heavyweights of minimal techno delivering very different, yet complentary versions. this 12 inch is the first of two vinyl-only eps, running in advance of a full album of electronically-angled remixes of >salon des amateurs<.

early support by adam x, kyle geiger, jonas kopp, and, arnaud le texier, freddy k. resiliens recordings is not only a simply independent record label but it presents itself as a project much more detailed and complex. it wants to be an idea, an impulse: the paradigm of artistic, visual and sound contemporaneity. the purpose of the group is to reinvent, assimilate and re rework the contemporaneity according to an independent and multifaceted artistic sensibility. according to its intrinsic meaning, resiliens was created with the intention of creating a new way of thinking and making art, able to react to external influences of modernity, transforming it without getting stunned. the genesis of a movement that embraces every artistic aspect, in a profound synergic interaction and collaboration between heterogeneous parts whose point of arrival is a complete artistic experience, in its deepest sense. the final goal of resiliens is therefore change the existing schemes, through clear and obvious messages around the entire artistic path: from production to exposure.

on her first ep, a.n.i.c.e. composed a track which is deep and full of emotions. >wait for me< is the official wake-up call for all the daydreamers and dally fairies. its marvelous vocals capture the listeners attention. dj le rois remix is more the four to the floor part of this ep. because of the driving bassline not even the last foot will stand still. >the dawn< is boosted by percussion elements and vocals that can only be sung by fairies underline this emotional track.

>let yrself be<, the second single to be taken from jimmy edgars critically acclaimed majenta, tells the story of, in resident advisors words, a nomadic sex fiend gone clubbing. two of the albums more brazen house cuts are the focus, evincing an artist as adept at catering for dance-floor and dj as he is for the home-listener.
the title track is a beatific cruise through stabs, chords, claps and slaps to a place where 90s house meets garage vocals, shutters are raised and everyone dances happily ever after. >heartkey<, on the other hand, shows a starchild at his sultriest. chugging along with electro swagger and vocoder charm, his claims to be the only one with the key to your heart are hard to disbelieve. lock up your android daughters.

feedbacks and supports by luciano, exercise one, dj t, mark knight, show b, roberto rodriguez, alex maier...sister label of mood music, from sasse & sandrino!
... and the beat goes on. after the first two deep cuts on wrm we offer you this little peaktime gem. frankey from d-nox & beckers fame got together with sandrino to build this dancefloor house cut. for remixes we are really happy and proud to have the one and only phonique.
he turns the original into a bigger festivalsummerdancefloorrave anthem without loosing the original feeling. the second remix by daniel rajkovic goes more into depth with a monster hypnotic bassline. and as we already said, words are all in vain, so have a listen and satisfy yourself … cheers from the rabbit hole ,)

its strange to think that it was only 2010 that saw the first records from christopher manik, aka manik. since exploding onto the scene with his debut ovum release he has gone on to develop and strengthen his own sounds & styles. never pigeonholed, the young new yorker has confidently and creatively placed his music on a variety of the hottest labels of today, whilst always managing to maintain his own unique identity.

detroit house at its best. amazing high tech jazz influenced 4 tracker by orlando b. after hearing orlando bs 2 full eps on germanys yore records, ric mcclelland & sean grieve head hunted the scottish producer for their seven music label. orlandos first outting on the belfast imprint was at the start of 2012 with a remix of giorgio luceris >one more time<. not content with just a remix, seven music asked orlando for some original works and here we have the >city life ep<. 4 tracks of chicago and detroit inspired goodness! the scottish producer and dj started making music at the age of 15 using an atari and notator sl. inspired by artists such as jeff mills, the advent, dave clarke and ian pooley, orlando began his career making techno. fast forward to 2012, orlandos studio is predominantly analogue based and his sounds have progressed to a deeper and more retrospective house sound. with 4 original tracks (1 of which is exclusive to the 12inch vinyl) the >city life ep< is arguably orlandos finest work to date. timeless yet forward thinking electronic music with soul and a record that deserves a place in any discerning djs collection!

2012 repress !!! patrik skoog kak agaric isnt only one of the youngest veteran tech­no and house producers from sweden, he is also one of the most interesting and inspired. though incredibly versatile, the sustained energy in his sets and productions are equally exceptional. in the last two years, agaric established the club tracks 10 inch series on his label we are. besides his own stellar productions, collaborations with close friends shonky, waker bernard, ed davenport, and beaner have also graced the club tracks series. international support came from leading djs like richie hawtin, seth troxler, loco dice, ben klock, luciano, joris voorn, magda, laurent garnier, sven väth, and adam beyer.

für diese ep taten sich oliver schories, anerkannter und extrem aufstrebender super newcomer und holgi star, altrocker und gefühltes technoinventar zusammen, um der welt ihren spaß an guter und gehaltvoller techno musik zu zeigen.
herausgekommen sind zwei schöne, treibende, emotionsgeladene, tränen ins auge drückende, einfach moderne tech-house-tracks, die ohne große umschweife auf den punkt kommen.
holgi legte mit seinem buddy pierre deutschmann noch einen remix auf, und als sich dann noch julie* (der turnbeutel) entschloss mit einer gehörigen portion girlpower >miss you< zu verdedeln, brachen entgültig alle dämme :-)

played and supported by luke slater, dvs1, laurent garnier, adam x, marcel fengler, samuli kemppi, inigo kennedy, jeroen search, truncate and more. asr is a record label with a strong inspiration in cosmology, physics and science fiction. with one foot in detroit and one in birmingham, asr is getting the techno in its original form beyond fads. we are believers in the true conception of electronic music as artistic expression and as message. our first release is also the first volume of the series vla, named in honor of the radio telescopes system in the very large array of new mexico (usa). radio transmission true to the sound of detroit and influenced by idm and the birmingham scene, radio trasmission presents a crude and analog sound, sometimes simple and sometimes twisted, synthesizing unconventional elements of the dancefloor with complex sounds and structures. the first track,grote reber, works around the omnipresent tr909 and the classic dx100 solid bass sound, building a powerful and effective track. in interferometry, a heavy and deep sub bass, leads the track around dub and post industrial ways. cyg x-1, is the only track that isnt 4x4, with noisy and punchy stabs all around, this works perfectly late in the night and in more uncommon sessions. the last track,vla is more melodic and relaxed. it is the perfect end for the whole record.

bokhari records is a vinyl only label. bokhari has been inspired by mo wax of old, and firecracker of present where care was/is also taken on packaging and design. each release will feature a different illustrator / artist for the design. musically we will aim to stick loosely within the realms of house and techno, but often with our own slant on it, and as the first release shows, in this case will include some afro percussion and a touch of acid. bokhari 001 only 300 copies will be pressed. artwork for release 001 is by the excellent illustrator andy potts (former head of design at abbey road studios), and every single vinyl will be signed and numbered. remix comes from the ever consistent mark e, who has taken the shrunken head bassline and made a 10 minute druggy, chuggy, loopy, creepy monster (and anything else you want with a ‘y’ at the end!)

in the beginning god created the bass drum. he made it beat 8.601 days. then he left it away. god said: death is the greatest work of art. and its expensive. finally infinite. thats politics and science and art. the art of omission. the art of refusal. death is absolute. the bass drum is absolute. do you want the absolute bass drum? if you manage to convince him, god will be happy to lend you his axe, because what happens is what he wants. just like the people. they want it to happen, too. the most expensive work of art in the world is a skull encrusted with 8.601 diamonds.

the rebirth of cool m=minimal is pleased to release a masterpiece of the early 21st century on vinyl. till the old worlds blown up and a new one is created is an outstanding work of reductionism and minimalism. martin brandlmyar ( radian / trapist / kapitalband 1 ), werner dafeldecker ( polwechsel, david sylvian, autistic daughters) and christian fennesz ( touch / mego / thrill jockey ) on this record created a new kind of cool jazz coupled with a big portion of new york school ( cage, feldman, brown und wolff). its hard to describe the music with words. this work reveals his secrets only after listening to it a couple of times. it grows with each time you listen to it. in this work, silence and noise are never used as an end in itself. as equal parameters they stand in the composition that also has space for some tonal >flower<. our recommended listening time is – round about midnight.

he works of conrad schnitzler will always be important. not only for m=minimal. ricardo villalobos and max loderbauer were so fascinated by the zug that they immediatly accepted to deliver two reshapes of this milestone of electronic music. (we already released zug on vinyl - mm-001lp) max loderbauer is a veteran of the berlin techno scene, who became known with his project >sun electric<. for his current project nsi and as a member of the >moritz von oswald trio< max loderbauer enjoys a worldwide reputation. his great cooperation with ricardo villalobos, for the legendary ecm label, appears in many >best of 2011< lists. richardo villalobos is one of the leading techno dj / producer / musicians. he influenced the scene for more than 15 years. the >aktion< mix targets with 100 percent certainty on the dance floor, but is also suited to wake you up in the morning. djs need this twenty minute mix as a tool. burner. the >sorgenkind< mix is not for the mainfloor but for fans of the broken beats. everybody who enjoyed the re-ecm work of the two will love this 15 minutes mix. schnitzler / loderbauer / villalobos = dreamteam

we are very proud and honered to release this ep by function aka dave sumner from sandwell district. one of technos true underground heroes, function (dave sumner) has been djing and making music for over 15 years. hailing from new york, he was seduced by techno music when jeff mills held a residency (as well as his own first) at the limelight in the early 90s. dave started to produce music and from the mid-90s onwards, put out music on damon wilds synewave and his own infrastructure imprint. together with regis (karl o connor) he worked as portion reform, putting out uncompromising music on downwards and becoming the only non-birmingham producer to release on the label. in 2008 dave moved to berlin, still working with regis, and now silent servant (john mendez), put his focus on the acclaimed sandwell district imprint. obsessed is a supper powerfull floating track for the dancefloor, a typical function production. this ep also contains remixes from substance and scb aka scuba, both peak-time tracks.

limited edition vinyl reissue of the deeply balearic and impossible-to-find extended version of the magnificent tranquillo (melt my heart) from the one and only carly simon. produced by the acclaimed arif mardin, who also worked with such luminaries as aretha franklin, esther philips and donny hathway, this 1978 classic rides soulful disco-tinged waves of blissful strings, heady horns and cosmic guitars with a rich orchestral feel - no wonder this is a such a firm favourite on the balearic scene with djs in the know from harvey to phil mison. originally released on a promo-only 12 inch single with the same version on both sides, tranquillo is here backed by another essential sun-drenched gem from ms. simon - >you belong to me<. a jazzy, breezy summer groover laced with gentle piano, soothing vocals and some amazing saxophone from virtuoso david sanborn. welcome chance to grab an affordable copy of this highly desirable 12 inch.

repressed due to popular demand and ridiculous discogs deals – here are kornwl kovacs underground hits >baby step< and >down since 92< (both previous studio barnhus vinyl only releases) + brand new instrumental versions of said tracks. dreamy, bumpin house music – played and supported by a made up sound, axel boman, catz n dogz, cosmin trg, deetron, erol alkan, ewan pearson, jimpster, john talabot, marco passarani, matt john, maya jane coles, michael mayer, ripperton, ryan elliot, serge, tiefschwarz, tim sweeney, and a few others. limited repress – no digital – be quick!

he is back: snook later, the man who gave us the jazz-ravy madness of the first nice try records release, returns on the zurich-based label. it seems logical then – but only wickedly so - that zurich producer dadaglobal takes up snooks inaugural cue with an irrestible remix of a dancefloor shaker. grooves that let not only your limbs shake but also your spine tingle.
code for free mp3-download of this ep included.

on >work that shit party<, a fingers inc. style rhythm buttresses a two-note riff, a crackling male voice filtering in from the ether. a pinging keyboard zips around before that two-note flicker expands and contracts, warps and wheedles. but around halfway in, a female vocal refrain of >gonna work it out< breaks fat lacerations into pinholes, blaring keyboards seeping in through the gaps and crevices. then, as with >d117<, it is the congealing of all these disparate elements: a work it out from fischerspooners lizzy yoder sashaying with the two-note riff, the keyboards bouncing off the ceiling, and flaring hi-hats fraying the surface played by pat mahoney (lcd soundsystem). each portion is given its due, only to make the ensuing combination that much more enthralling.

the >taste the difference ep< from the excellent slidebar records dishes up something unique where modern techno is concerned. axel sohns the label founder expressed how he wants to mix up the old and new styles of techno and give people back a sound that quite simply makes you not only want to dance and leaves you thinking >how the fuck did they make that sound<
