the fourth release from palms & charms sees the return of label co-owner barnaby bruce, ruminating on the perils of fine fabric care. we ve all been there – a lengthy session on the dancefloor playing havoc with the pile of your velvet coat. faced with this dilemma, barnaby reaches for the battered volume, passed down through untold generations of his family, detailing archaic yet uncannily effective methods for extending the life of even the most exquisite textiles. as he does so, the percussive jazz-tinged boogie of sweat on velvet takes over his mind, unleashing a wave of dancefloor euphoria. not to be outdone, pete herbert (reverso 68), unveils his own masterful fabric care techniques, providing a remix that will starch your collar and shake out the creases. not the same clothes, but something brand new. freshly attired, barnaby begins to notice curious and somewhat unsettling noises coming from the next room. he gingerly opens the door, and is confronted with a seance in full swing. strangers sitting around his dining table wait with baited breath for word from the other side. but the unearthly howling of tortured spirits is quickly silenced by the devilish groove of seance fiction. as the arp makes its entrance, every soul is up and dancing. finally, barnaby bruce also provides the eminently useful go go percussion dub of sweat on velvet – rounding out a sartorially elegant ep with something for everyone, from sceptics to lost souls.

there are two things, that really set terre des pommes apart from all other labels with all their cool dj friends : a: no cool dj friends, b: the ceo himself aka saap really listens to all demos he receives, honestly.. to him running a label is all about fresh blood and unexpected new talents! even when it comes to remixers.. no wonder the lucky chaps that go by the beautiful name of schlango mango hit the jackpot when hiding a minidisc in saaps daily italian food delivery.. still chewing on spuma di pizza-schnitzel the boss called them up and made the deal.. schlango mango met gerd janson and shan at a lan party in the shire. they shared similar interests.. the rest is histology ..

autoroutes ii by pamplonas iii3s (aka supersobresaturado) is the soundtrack for a 21st-century trip interconnecting continents and generations of acid-house lovers and ravers. this record is a hard-driving journey into (ph)uturistic sounds that takes it back to the old school. iii3s knows that the best road-trips begin and/or end in chicago (which is, after all, the start-point of the legendary route 66) and he knows the start-point of any journey into acid-house is chicagos phuture, the legendary masters whose *acid trax* created the genre in 1986. and so he is humbled to get remix support on this special edition vinyl release from none other than phuture members lothario lee, dj spank-spank, and ron maney aka dj skull.

we left herva & dukwa with a bunch of bangers with their latest ep -it fell down-… we found em back only after few months with their first lifes track longer player featuring an impressive variety of styles but always with their unmissable, raw and twisted up touch. this album of 8 tracks, spread in one twelve and a seven inches, starts on a side with the funky break of -needed-, continuing with the deep driving moment of -amore- and the hip hop beat of -put it on-. on the flip side instead we find the catchy vocal riff of the stomping roller called -freak with us- followed by the soulful ghetto tech vibe of “call it you” and the melancholic, romantic, stoned and rotten lullaby of -tired brass-. more tasty and unusual grooves are included in the tiny wax which close the record up, on a side the peaceful, abstract, suspended and atmospheric dimensions of * play with me* and on the other the glow-fi-sh and -emo--tech wave of -venere-. unmissible!

finally hydergine joins the knotweed records family! hydergine (aka roberto corizzo) is a techno producer from southern italy. he is best known for producing raw dub techno, and has come up with a string of fantastic releases in the last 3 years on labels such as separate skills and ranges.we have been talking to each other since the early days of knotweed records, trying to find the right tracks for the label. roberto approached us at the beginning of the year with some tracks that were a bit -different- than his usual productions: he was experimenting, and we liked it a lot. that s how the gamma experiments e.p. was born.the a side of the gamma experiments e.p. is a heavy atmospheric techno bomb. both tracks on the b side have more an acid feeling to them, incorporating weird arps, rawness and pad trips.enjoy the ride!

the peer pressure ep from the under-rated mark forshaw finds scenery records once again highlighting the rich strain of local production talent in the liverpool area. involved in the merseyside scene since the 90s, forshaw has released on labels like mathematics, tabernacle and apartment and is also a member of phantom planet outlaws with john heckle and binny. if you ve checked forshaw s prior output you will be happy with peer pressure as soon as the grubby, jacked up house of the title track hits its groove, with his four other cuts heading down a similarly unpredictable path. kudos to scenery for seeking out swedish producer daniel andreasson to remix the title track too! this is another no nonsense ep from scenery that is lovably rugged and unpredictably creative

for the first reference, sounds of the city is happy to welcome the mysterious spirit of the black 808, responsible for one of the hottest pieces of wax in 2013 for eargasmic recordings in chicago. invasion of the black bass is also following the eargasmic record in terms of style. it s warm in every way and infectious. let s get invaded with invasion of the black bass and invasion of the black house. both tracks share the same chords grid, one could be a reinterpretation of the other. both are very warm and melodic. frenzy in firenze on the other side demonstrates sb8s skills for groovy tools and more dj oriented tunes.

this second release on dialegestai is our homage to romanian minimal house and techno music. one track by a household name, the other by the equally talented - but still very unknown - vlad radu. in our humble opinion both tracks have a certain unique quality and vibe to them. the question minimal and trippy, the answer haunting and mysterious :) we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

nologo is back with 2 essential, tried and tested underground club tracks. orlando b serves up side a with dark world, an epic, slow burning, dark-house journey. dark world begins completely stripped back before the main hook, an eerie hypnotic vocal is introduced. funky percussive elements creep in which drive the piece forward and a deep minor pad heightens the tension setting the tone for the rest of the track. the energy builds gradually with the addition of a 303 bass line peaking just before the end, taking the listener on a dark hypnotic trip. on the flip, is none other than house & techno legend mr g who uses the dark world vocal but takes it somewhere new providing his own unique and distinctive flavour. mr gs rum remix is a dark and twisted peak-time banger, the high energy from the off set perfectly complementing the slower vibe of the original. plenty of sub and twisted synth action keeps the momentum high and the dark stab he uses punctuates the vocal nicely giving it a raw edge. dark world is an essential addition to the record bag for darker dancefloors. dj deep: i love this, your remix is super funky and dark at the same time!!! dope! tom (panorama bar): ufff nice and dark.....another mr g gem. to be served with the rum rush...

san francisco/paris-based label spring theory is back with its fourth release. called sweet bitter love, it s a four track ep of manic sample-driven house from keita sano, a japanese producer who s been on a roll lately with releases for like-minded imprints discos capablanca, mister saturday night, and strictly groove recordings. sweet bitter love kicks off with the tripped-out flair of -once i found a diamond.- it s an uplifiting bongo-led cut with dubby melodics that sound like the kind of thing sleeping bag records would have put out in the early 80s. jacques renault provides a leaner peak-time version — complete with hard-hitting snares and growling bass — via his -once i found a diamond (jacques renault trouble funk remix).- things take a turn for the delightfully weird on the ep s namesake -sweet bitter love.- starting like a straightforward house cut, it explodes into a psychedelic collage of spaghetti western guitars, tribal calls, displaced jazz fills, and other forms of cleverly sampled soundtrack exotica. the release wraps up with yet another curveball on -bouzouk.- here sano lays out a subwoofer-knocking ny garage house rhythm that takes a left turn with frenzied bouzouki playing charting arpeggios through a haze of echoing foreign voices. taken as a whole, sweet bitter love is that rare idiosyncratic bomb of an ep that will keep your dancers moving and your trainspotters guessing — in other words, it s spring theory through and through.

following our robert hood / floorplan coup in april, epm music now turns to two other legendary figures of electronic music sonic minds d-knox delivers two new tracks while metamorphics dan curtin is on remix duties

this music encompasses two worlds, lives in between territories - between techno and noise, the far end of a darkened club and a dreaming mind’s afterthoughts. very earthly and deeply rooted, it sometimes appears fragmented, full of sonic embroideries, full of sonic dirt, even. like two universes colliding, imploding one on the other, giving birth to a new space, without boundaries or restraints. something to dance to, on a spaceship.

the gift is a series dj house shoes started to spotlight under the radar producers. pressed in a limited edition of 300 copies on 180 gram vinyl. raj mahal was a colleague of house shoes in the detroit hip-hop scene in the 1990s, a scene he joined just about the time fantastic volume one was recorded (1996). when he moved to chicago and refined his style, there was widespread talk that raj would follow in the footseps of other detroit alumni by releasing a proper album. that album has finally come.

after life recorders 90 state release, argumento strikes back with the 9th argument ep, a various artist record showcasing an uncompromising techno, carrying the new fresh sounding grooves with traces from the past. peter sliwinski aka echoplex does not need any introduction. more than 2 decades present on the scene with numerous classic works on his label soleil and other platforms like synewave, end to end, imf, he always represents the detroit sentiment spiced with pounding grooves along the way. this time is also not different with his opening track of the ep called recovered.

back at it again, taking the true essence of the “jacking” sound of chicago house and putting it’s own stamp on it is what obsolete music technology has done with their new 12&#8243,, entitled, “volatile.” warbling, wobbling, distorting, sinisterly acidic basslines abound is the best way to describe this release! for dance floors only! you have been warned! “volatile” starts off with some 707 drums intro and then fading in, is this tripped out, bubbling bass sound that sends you off a cliff! just when you think that’s all to the track, dark, melancholic pads comes in for added atmos-fear! rounding out the a-side is “killin,” with it’s 2 acid style basslines, one sounding at a high octave and the other at a lower octave. riffs playing separately sounding great, but when played together, there is something slightly, mentally off. on the b-side, “broken siren” is high energy! 808 tom drums bringing the funky low end while a short, electronic piano lick drenched in warm, fuzzy, flange effect. setting it off is a decayed sine wave, mimicking an actual alarm sound. lastly, “electric current” best describe this distorted acid bassline and its tweaking filter and resonance controls over jacking 808 drums

silas moldenhawer and jonas kenton, both children of the early 80s, grew up alongside each other in the tiny big city of copenhagen. in their teenage years they discovered electronic music and this led them to start spinning records and producing tracks together. years later they met two other talented musicians and formed well-establish danish indie-electro outfit when saints go machine, but still kept on building kenton slash demon as a separate project.

dark, deep, minimal and raw with sprinkles of kassem and levon. imagine a 7am bomb-track dropped on a post-apocalyptic dc-10 terrace after the nuclear fallout. a dystopian venture into the void whilst keeping a lollopping dancefloor sensibiliy alive. listen out for the ghostly samples calling from beyond the grave. in other words, killer!

9300 records returns with the first ep by shin, a relatively unknown, belgian producer duo. they gave birth to three solid tracks with low kicks and raw bass chords, synths that are highly 90 s trance influenced and some acid vibes on the b-side. the cherry on top is a remix of mistress by none other than legowelt! danny wolfers discribes the ep as flemish achromatism , which is a good reference to its melancholic undertone.limited to 300 hand stamped and numbered copies !

opener -she loves it- layers graceful elements, drifting sounds, pirouetting percussion and lets them slowly roll in like a thick fog. bvoice,anrilov & sickdisco deliver a more minimalistic version of -she loves it-. this guys are a great trio from moscow, analog gurus, already released on pro-tez, highway, time has changed, body parts. on the other side we have another piece of material from kirik called somewhere, which does the same job with similar elements. its melodious drum loop is the fulcrum around which densely layered hi-hats, shakers and various pads bounce and rotate. label boss, dirty culture deliver a more driven house version of somewhere, a more digestiv aproach. good vibes and melodic grooves from eastern europe, on wax!

superconscious is here with its second instalment last time we brought you a solo production from imhotep, whom is one half the zanzibar chanel duo and co-founder of ruff records. this time we bring you the other half mysterious melbourne citizen and all round cool-guy luis cl. featuring four stompers which we wont bother trying to explain, because explaining music is like describing your dream last night. just enjoy yourself and listen.

the 3rd outing from legwork comes from one of our label heads in lance desardi and singer/song writter jesse rennix. this ones been a long time in the making, but the final product is well worth the blood, sweat and tears. with a heavy nod to prescription records and the 1st & 2nd wave detriot pioneers, emotion is the order of the day. not much else to say, other than see for yourself. the heavens await
