a chance encounter at university during the acid house summer of ’88 and subsequent bonding over baby ford’s “oochy koochy” established a life-long friendship between leicester lads, jimi o’callaghan and al green. inspired by the sounds of detroit, early ny house like murk and masters at work and the emerging uk sounds of lfo, orbital and aphex twin, the pair began djing and making music as the wild geese. their first ep, “the wild geese ep”, was released in 1994 on their own giddy goose recordings imprint. the guys pressed 500 copies and, with jimi’s connections made interning with pete tong’s ffrr, sold copies direct to london shops. the record sported packaging designed to look like an american 12” and an accompanying press release attributed the ep to a fictitious dj duo hailing from wisconsin. rave reviews followed and a distribution deal was struck with vital uk, who produced and sold another 500 copies worldwide. another ep followed a year later. sadly, plans for a third ep on the label never materialized, but the pair remain close to this day. 24 years later we are honored to reintroduce this genre-defying, uniquely forward-thinking ep to today’s dance floors.

!k7 are pleased to announce forest swords as the next curator of the ever essential dj-kicks series. following acclaimed albums on ninja tune and tri angle, soundtrack and installation work, and remixes of the likes of bjork, matthew barnes aka forest swords has curated a 25-track compilation that draws a line between past inspirations and his current peers. like much of his own output, his dj-kicks skirts around pristine electronics and embraces more organic textures: 80s post punk (anna domino, dead can dance), classic 90s british electronica (orbital, mira calix), and smokey digi-dub (rhythm & sound), all rub up alongside some of the most forward-facing producers working today (demdike stare, laurel halo, fis). the compilation sifts through rhythms, shifting speeds and emotions: from pop icon neneh cherrys primal thudding to the zombified throb of exclusive forest swords track crow via deena abdelwaheeds clattering deconstructions to the euphoric two-step of djrum. its a collection of tracks that feels as restlessly curious and weighty as barnes own work. the double vinyl release includes a download code.

das 2017er album der progressive-formation way out west, bestehend aus top-dj nick warren und dessen partner jody wisternoff erscheint nun als limitierte gesignte deluxe-3lp. die pioniere gehören zu den einflussreichsten elektronischen acts der letzten 25 jahre und haben dort diverse charterfolge zu verzeichnen. sie touren nachwievor global und sind als remixer für gleichgesinnte wie orbital, unkle, james holden, st.etienne und viele mehr bekannt. neben ihrem beeindruckenden katalog also duo sind sie beide als djs weltweit unterwegs. nick warren enthält zudem sein soundgarden label und präsentierte bereits acht ausgaben der ikonischen global underground compilationserie. jody wisternoff hat bereits ein soloalbum bei anjunadeep veröffentlicht und die letzten vier ausgaben der gefeierten labelcompilation gemixt. ihr fünftes album als way out west, tuesday maybe, ist das erste in acht jahren und wird bereits von den fans heiß ersehnt.

a mysterious new label launches with a double lp that ranges from ambient, house, 2-step, breaks and techno. this idea originated from collaborations that the artist had with musicians from different spectrums of the universe but by keeping an open mind and a positive attitude they were able to create music and a deeper respect and understanding for the others art form, opening themselves up to infinite possibilities outside the normal realm of the comfort zone. the relative positivity project will consist of solo projects as well as collaborations with people that have had a positive impact on the life of the artist.

a seriously jittery slab of hardcore raver material, this is perhaps fpl s most robust roast yet: filtered thru the heady history of classic 90’s hardcore techno and peak time trance euphorias, caffeine’s tracks showcase a viciously deft arrangement sensibility, utilizing a revolving door of precisely cut breaks, bubbly, effervescent pads and synth melodies, creamy sub-bass and loads of crispy vocal signifiers, imagine if the rza had listened to lots of orbital and early trance records and made this after liquid swords and you’re almost there.

the quiet before the storm. the abyss before birth. the moments that came before everything else. this is episode zero, ben gibson s inaugural album on chronicle. it takes us soaring through a musical narrative, beaming down into vast acoustic valleys of sound. from the very rst notes the intent is apparent, lucidly slipping into a pool of full moon atmospherics. departing deeper he carefully calculates each and every step, building momentum and pace until the way back is completely forgotten. tracks like -foreclosure- reach peak potential with crushed, mangled percussion, while others such as -symptom- maintain a more seductive yet equally deadly pull. building upon pillars of 12-s, chronicle and ben gibson are now venturing into a new territory with episode zero marking the rst step. join us.

timothy heretic’clerkin has a new record out. this new record is called serenade. it is out on ransom note records. it is three tracks from timothy and one remix from marlon hoffstadt. all four tracks are winners. they sound like the 90s remade by people too young to remember the shit bits. there are breakbeats. there are acid lines. there are weird samples about drugs. there are things that sound like orbital. there is no time wasted.

there arent many artists that can lay claim to having put out records on labels as divergent as rough trade and john talabot’s hivern discs. perhaps this is because few artists express such genuine diversity in their musical tastes and creative explorations as david kitt. since the turn of the decade as new jackson he has mined a seam of driving, ghostly house to run parallel with his solo strand of ambient folk electronica. his debut release in 2011 the night mail on pogo channeled early record collection heroes aphex twin and orbital through to drexciya and projekt pm but had one foot firmly in the 21st century beaming in like some futuristic cyberballad. on the flip side hussle free had that mix of house and boogie sensibilities with dark and dusty synths and vocoder that would become a signature. this was followed by acclaimed releases on hivern, permanent vacation, major problems, apartment and most recently cin cin. his debut album set for release on all city in may was recorded in kitt’s bedroom studio overlooking dublin bay, its nocturnal hues very much a product of the nightshift often working on headphones with the rest of his housemates fast asleep. it takes full advantage of the scope of the lp format, ebbing and flowing between deep house club ready gems and more restrained and meditative beatless moments for the morning after. the recording process yielded many eureka moments with kitt finally nailing sounds that had hitherto proved elusive. a key moment was getting a bank loan to buy an sp 1200 sampler

after a full ep on his own for third episode of the label senoid, kike pravda come back with a new release with 3 powerful cuts and a brillant remix by exium.

brianna price aka b.traits, launches her new record label venture, in.toto, with a self-produced two track single, still point/north shore. in.toto, to mean as a whole, altogether, unity, will focus not only on her own productions and releases, but also provide a platform for up and coming artists, and those producers already championed in her dj sets and hugely loved bbc radio 1 show, by way of new material and compilation albums. the label will be backed by bespoke events and club nights, enabling the artists and the sound of in.toto to reach far and wide. on the labels inaugural release, brianna sets the tone perfectly with still point. gnarly, rasping bass punctures the gentle piano riff and ethereal synth pads as this club ready track blossoms into life, the assured and driving drums never letting the energy drop for one second. on the flip side of the limited edition, purple 12inch vinyl release, north shore opens with warm idm pulses and tones, grandiose strings and vocal refrains create a huge sound that takes its unexpected breakbeat twist, reminiscent of british rave heroes orbital, whilst holding its own with its fresh and bright production.

exium returns home, nheoma, with their third album “reduction required”, based on the construction of tracks with very few elements without losing their intensity and characteristic sound.

one of the beautiful things about displayfm is the orbital-serious-full-on-dance-floor music which they deliver. while beautiful and yet caustically intense, off the ground’s reliable output, can feel awfully bombastic.
each track reflects a finely accomplished sound composition with playful percussion, microscopic sonic details, perfectly measured to a powerful record. it’s displayfm’s usual techniques coupled with a melodic and emotive approach. dualism s remix is personal and makes for a carefully crafted enhancement. the song is moving versatile with emotion, texture and instrumentation. unloose yourself and enjoy. off the ground is a unique sound design with hypnotic grooves for impactful moments. be numbolic..!

smeur continues it’s journey into melodic trippy house. the third release features two artists take on a track from the same starting point. both sides are based on the same set of samples. but while side a reminisces early orbital in its theme side b is a somber excursion into another subterranean world. both tracks will keep the floor interested with it’s different approach to house music.

embryonic ep by columbus, oh artist titonton is brought back to the forefront exactly 20 years after its original release on metamorphic recordings. 4 tracks of that warm and deep midwest techno like nobody else can do it. titonton s totally unique style has definitely withstood the test of time, and like most music created independently of trends it will always sound fresh. we re living in the times that this music was created for and later on down the road when space djs play these cuts from the orbital terrace, it will be for their times too. out of print since the initial pressing it has now been remastered from the original studio tapes for optimum sound quality.

the new album by paul hartnoll of orbital fame under his 8:58 moniker.

on the a-side, mesmerized arps, rolling bleeps, screaming strings, and 909 are the main units of asylum 1 & apsis.

quality limited reissue of charlie mike sierras cosmic synth masterpiece from 1977 *on the moon*. originally released on small french label melba, this super-rare lp is a true classic of the experimental synth-driven space disco genre. heavily laden with korg, harp and minimoogs, the album features five mesmerising psychedelic odysseys including superb funky dancefloor bomb *on the moon*, the beautifully dreamy *venus* and the stunning hypnotic moodscape of *mar*, plus two explosive synth-fests penned by frederic mercier of pacific fame - the wildly futuristic epic *battle of the stars* and bouncing disco dancer *lunar orbital*. superb from start to finish, dont miss this serious collectors must-have.

discrete formants ii zooms the audience deep into underwater landscapes, from bizarre and seemingly endless open space down to the finest organized microcosms. five tracks full of analogue warmth and idiosyncratic modular synthesizer interaction that are driven by semantic coupling between major phases and small details. as most dscrt acoustic patterns are growing characteristic complexity by situational combination and permutation of interacting sound sets, the 300 copies of this release are double-stamped, hand numbered and pressed in blue marbled vinyl, returning each piece of them to the product of a unique moment in space and time.

3 tone dorsal fin, a new international band from berlin is pleoavcee from san diego, djcksatron from dallas, nora lune from switzerland and the producer count frankula also known as frank muller or beroshima: glistening is a tingling feeling in the skin as well as being perceived by sight or the hairs in your ears. perception of a sensation throughout our whole body - says the artist. lets see. listen up. or glisten up! all introduced by a distorted pitched alien space child rambling incoherently until shaken up by hesitant laughter. raps that rhymes euphemism with hypnotism and swagging with lagging better be good.

first up is lone, recent album recruit to the re-animated r&s, who takes the fake original and makes it very much his own, the wistful strains of >paean< slotting seamlessly into lones seductive wobbly, wonky, early nineties retro-futurist world view, to extremely playable effect. fresh from his own new lonely at the top album duty, lukids rework is a more radically transformative affair, sprinkling his trademark bass heavy hypnotic drum mantras with a suitably warped smattering of fakes mystical twinkles. and as a final a2 bonus, fakes own contemplative coda mix seeks to wring every last drop of ambient goodness out of his utopian original.
limited to 500 copies, this ultra-collectable 10 inch vinyl release comes as a perfectly timed companion to nathans impending tour support duties in the company of forefathers of uk electronica and fake childhood heroes orbital.

our second vinyl release 2012 introduces a new series, the bias jams, on ilian tape. we start off with a compilation of 4 tracks from japan, serbia, argentina and italy. after some internal investigations we found out that imugem orihasam is not only a japanese shaolin, but also a yoga guru. his bias cut sounds like an instruction for a deep meditation in a forest. we chose a forest, because forests need to be saved. too many black puffs of vapour are killing them at the moment. our late riser regen probably didnt had that a mind, but we declare him to be an environmental activist from now on. now how should we include paper tape in this story … had a look online and found the term perforated paper tape. pretty interesting stuff, it was one of the first methods for data storage. ok are you guys joking? orbital? there is no way to write a good story with those track names. >an atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom<. yeah right! well in fact its enough to know that the bias jams series will feature some heavy bomboclaat bias cuts from various artists! cheers

next up on tirk we have a brand new act, named free school. hailing from birmingham, shoegaze duo andy and steve bring the sunny balearic sounds of summer and the icy kosmiche sounds of winter all in one sweeping hit. free school are maximalist and minimalist all at once.
the band like to compare themselves to caribou, orbital, hot chip, fourtet, and pet shop boys, all pretty good touchstones in our eyes, however it was the sheer gloriousness of their music that had us hooked.
their debut ep features the uplifting and euphoric >ranting and raving< and the 9 minute sound-movie >lemon<. remixes come from richard norris and his time and space machine project (we are going to have to put this guy on the payroll soon) and russian ice cool customer sportloto. free school also appear live (in sheep masks no less) so watch out for them at a venue near you. their debut album is in the pipeline and already sounding good.

this is a long awaited release on theomatic from a russian-born (now czech-based) house-quartet d-pulse. this definitely should have happened before as all d-pulse members and theomatic’s commander andrei zakharov (an-2) are fellow-townsmen and have known each over many years. d-pulse are known for their expressive live performances (guitar, bass and keys), everything you hear they play live and their unique vibe can shake any audience, be it hip moscow cuties or shy hick-town chicks. the band’s hectic schedule has put this ep on hold for several months, but at last guys managed to organize themselves and lay final touches to the production. the a-side is a mellow, spaced-out disco jam called ‘prekrasna’ - the russian for ‘beautiful’, especially when referred to ladies. the dancefloor-aimed ‘moments’ on the flip side starts off with hypnotic, dubbed-out guitar and atmospheric synths laid over fat house beat. it gradually leads to the breakdown followed by guitar driven blast-off and takes you to the orbital heights from wherever you are.

delphic return this summer with their new single ‘this momentary’on kitsune, with remixes from parallels, golden bug and radioproof.released on the perma-chic french indie label kitsune,whose ability to spot tomorrow’s stars remains as strong asever, delphic’s ‘this momentary’ is a subtly blissed outblast of euphoria that takes in both the crisp drive of minimaltechno and the epic scope of bands like muse or radioheadto create something entirely their own and entirely new andbeguiling.>the guitar is dead, long live the guitar<, proclaim themanchester trio, fresh from supporting orbital and currentlybusy working on their new album, blurring the boundariesbetween indie and electronics until preconceived notions ofgenre have lost all meaning.their debut single ‘counterpoint’ pointed the way forward toa shining future straddling the hedonistic worlds ofglastonbury and berlin, while this summer has been spentcombining festival dates with working with producer ewanpearson in crafting a future classic steeped in bothintrospection and hedonism.the first results are ‘this momentary’, a restrained lyric gentlybuilding over sharply driving techno beats until it becomes aeuphoric future stadium anthem.

underground classic trax is a brand new label focused on releasing original material from timeless artists. our releases will be only for djs/limited edition/color vynil no promos. for this 2nd release, we bring you some of the rarest 12 inches around. a side comes up with the amazing pfantasy club a.k.a dj pierre with never give up (circa 1988!), an amazing acid track (one of the first we guess), originally released on dancemania but we brought you the never released no vocals acid mix & obviously, it still sounds fresh & amazing today, pre techno/pre rave & whatever. essential! on a2 & b, we have one of the original house master creator (2nd wave), johnny fiasco with darkness & here i cum (unreleased extended mix) from 1995 when techno was still frightening & underground, real raw ghetto cuts that are still played on heavy rotation by real djs, they use it as secret weapons, nobody knows them really, but now you can grab it.

hotly tipped newcomer from germanys deepest southwest. deep and melancholic house music with a techno edge. as influences, he names klaus schulze, tangerine dream or orbital.

after several months of underground pressure the orbital classic kinetic by golden girls (paul & phil hartnoll along with mike hazell) is finally getting a full release. one of the most ecstatic rave stabs ever is at the heart of this record and has now been reworked for 09 dancefloors by floorplay music - the label run by hot brighton production duo prok & fitch. the story began a year ago with prok & fitchs golden shower remix. instead of going down the bootleg or cover route they paid their dues and licensed the original track for their new label floorplay and set about getting some hot names to remix it. top of the pile is atfc who takes the original and gives it a tough house makeover. this man has been responsible for a few classic records of his own over the years so this combination is unstoppable. with the original orbital mix included this is an all time classic tastefully revisited.
