egyptrixx gives a glimpse into his forthcoming second album on night slugs with the vinyl-only cut *water (reduced)*. the hi-definition crystalline world of his previous album *bible eyes* has sunken, submerged. *water* takes place in some vast molten expanse, a subterranean electrical storm expressed as acid-tech. this 12 inch features the reduced dub, stripped of melody to for full hypnotic effect. the full version can be heard on the forthcoming album, titled *a/b til infinity*. on the flip: helix keeps bootlegging our records. he cuts up the masters and edits them up like fruity loops lego, applying the same post-timbaland stutter-logic that was amplified so dramatically in 03-06 grime. here he puts his hand to egyptrixx blastbeats-heavy *adult*, also taken from the forthcoming *a/b til infinity* lp. the results are extremely punishing but compelling listening.

downstairs please, heaven can wait. our destination is an urban hades, an alluring underworld. when you are mono-named (like sano) your epithet sounds like a code word anyway. so let us get in.

polymath james leyland kirby must surely have one of the most confounding cvs in the business: he spent years taking the piss out of the music industry with anthems rallying against the (vv)mcps, he notoriously fell out with various well known record labels for reasons you ll just have to google, goaded aphex twin with a series of tributes and channelled his love of everything from falco (rock me amadeus), chris de burgh, frankie goes to hollywood and stockport karaoke nights into a stream of increasingly bizzare 7 s back in the early noughties. but at the same time he was responsible for releasing some of the very earliest material from boards of canada (hell interface: 1997), made a ruck of frankly groundbreaking industrial electronic records, brought new beat to the worlds attention and, in 1999, made his first album as the caretaker, a project that would go on to release some of the most loved ambient/ lynchian albums of recent times.

myles serges saure music group expands its self to create smg limited. smg limited showcases only special and one of a kind tracks in a vinyl only format. the 1st release is from two of our good friends plural (aka james johnson) and general vex who split the release to create pure madness!

we feel very honored to present our new baby rue de plaisance-re issue to the world. we are starting this project to re-release some of our favorite tracks from back in the days, as we believe they need to be made known to the new and upcoming generation. these are our rootz. for our first opus we have invited from the uk the infamous duo >idjut boys< who surely have much to offer with over 20 years of releasing contemporary dance music all over the globe. for our first issue we chose their track >not reggae< supported by forward thinking mixes by varoslav and david k who pushed those classics to another level. we hope, all of you, will enjoy this new project as much as we do. quality timeless music on vinyl...

this is the start of our path in the darkness, in search of the brightest light. rectoversion its not just a label but a life concept based on the notion of dualism thats the reason why we have an original track for side with their remixes, a leitmotiv useful to show the complete face of each of them. so you can feel the black and the white of these two tracks by alpha code & future 16, with reworkings by tadeo and area fortyone.

local talk is proud to welcome back tony blitz from c.r.s.t. - remember monster munch ep back in january? t stands for tony blitz, the one and very same we got on this release.
on the a-side we are treated to two slammin tracks, vodka & valium & bring it back are both the perfect mix between uk garage & house. studio wizard crackazat, last heard on our sub-label oneoffs, re-built the track into a piano driven house track infused with lots of melodies.

c.a.v.o.k. calls out our beloved oleg poliakov on his first release for us for 2013. its a good sign, that the skies are clear and we can carry forth on our musical mission unhindered by the weather. with an album looming on the horizon from our in-house weatherman, this ep sets us on a course across open plains towards that landmark, propelled by an infectious energy that marks a progression even for a producer as accomplished as oleg.

its time for a new off recordings music delivery, and this time we put betoko, one of the most exciting names in the global scene, in charge. mexican-born but based in london, this notorious musically trained producer unleashes all his melodic arsenal in two outstanding tracks for our delight.

a few words by steffen bennemann: when i heard margot for the first time, i instantly fell in love with their synth-driven free- form kraut-techno. strong melodies, insanely well-shaped beats, sometimes driving, sometimes bravely bending the rules. after great releases on james holdens border community, ivan smagghes kill the dj and their own label we were more than happy to welcome them in our holger family. here they can show their more experimental side, far beyond common floor/listening conventions and full of synapse-tickling synth magic. plus a secret pop hit (trentaseitrenta), perfect for closing any exceptional club night.

innercity, the nom de plume of belgian producer hans dens, has been releasing his brand of entrancing lofi electronica on his own cassette label why so serious, on aguirre records and a slur of other specialized labels (amongst which his acclaimed album on seattle-based further records).

hot off the heels of our first release, which saw us top the juno charts and sell out in record stores across the uk, our 2nd ep is sure to keep the foot firmly on the gas! this 4 track ep is sure to set hearts on fire and deliver a huge dose of energy to dancefloors across the globe.

rise of the sun on asbo records is another huge release from the stables young gun dj westy, incorporating everything we love about jungle music from the delayed vocal echoing through out to the tight drums & hard driving bass it does it all, add to that the great melody that pushes the whole track along & we have got one of our favourite tracks from the young producer this year……side 2 gives us natty dread & again the names in the title, westy doesnt fail to deliver here either, a great track with big vibez through out! receiving support from ray keith & dj chef.

when we released thors yellow sky over reykjavik on the first part of our icelandic lost tracks series in 2010, we were proud beyond words to discover such an outstanding and still unreleased track from one of our heroes from the 90ies.

tom withers aka klute is unlike any other drum & bass producer in the scene today. from his entry into the music business fronting the late 80s punk band the stupids and his early jungle releases on legendary label certificate 18, klute has always set himself apart from the pack never afraid to do things that little bit differently. 15 years in and his story continues as he prepares to unleash a staggering seventh studio album, *the draft*, another accomplished piece of musical ambition from a producer who never fails to disappoint.
comes as red coloured double 12 inch vinyl.

gaetano vinci a.k.a. hooved has been one of the most dependable producers on amam over the years, and more recently, his sound has mutated in some unexpected directions. thats why its high time to give our knob- twiddling satyr his own special catalog code from now on, and here we present amamhvd001, or for those of you who prefer titles instead of strings of letters and numbers, the timeless ep, his first 12inch of the year. the near-15-minute tmlss 1 begins with a 2-step beat, and as it unfolds, the beats only get more broken, causing a sense of auditory psychosis while somehow remaining calm, cool and collected.

kito jempere will be a new name to many with only a handful of productions and remixes under his belt but that’s the way we like to do it here and were proud to play a small part in helping introduce his production prowess to a wider audience. the st. petersburg native came to our attention following an invite for jimpster to play at one of his legendary outdoor summer parties in his home town. a friendship was born and when the brilliant demos arrived in the mail, it wasnt a hard decision to agree to release them

what we feel for max graef might just be our biggest man-crush ever. we came across his music through his own label box aus holz and were just as stoked as he is to have him as our second release.

following on now from mayo soulomon, fbnm are proud to present our next release from another italian producer giorgio luceri. giorgio delivers two sumptuous house tracks here with completely opposite dispositions, the breezin balearic bliss of prophetic vibes versus the dark detroitian dissonance of woman. woman, with thudding drums and deep subs setting the picture right away. warbling synth begin to layer before the crescendo begins with fat analog stabs, rushing synth pads and airy groans. massive. detroitian. dancefloor. destroyer. lastly kai alce (ndatl muzik | atl) remixes of woman. simple but effective kzr delivers a retro house groove fitted out with lo-fi samples and old school sequenced mpc drum!

an absolute bombshell, *o meu estilo* (my style) is lisbon-based dj nigga foxs record debut. real name rogrio brando, nigga fox came to our knowledge a few months ago, and we were immediately floored by what we were hearing. still in his early 20s, rogrio has already played in all sorts of the greater lisbon clubs, while discreetly refining his own productions. on this 12 inch he presents parts of his unbelievably vast pallet. as the title implies, there s nothing quite like this, even in lisbon s ever more productive and creative beat-based music. vinyl 12 inch limited to 300 hand-painted, hand-stamped copies.

following four releases in the bangers and ash 12 inch series, styles upon styles inaugurates the label proper with an ep from our friends and community cohorts, archie pelago. from their earliest digital releases on end fence and tectonic, through substantial 12 inches via mister saturday night, well rounded, and their recent self-released transmissions (sly gazabo ep and breezy whey), each body of work from the trio of hirshi, kroba and cosmo d contributes to a growing narrative in their catalogue of improvised, acoustic-electronic dance music. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy in london. pressed at mpo in france with artwork from calvin ho and sus sleeve design by tschiegg.

after appearances on idle hands and brstl, rhythmic theory returns to their own imprint to further explore gritty textures and mysterious moods within house and techno frameworks. where theory001 featured the somewhat soothing, melancholic tones of >echo vibe< and >omega syndrome<, this second installment comes caked in sonic muck and abrasive attitude.its not all dark and foreboding, as the graceful filter-swept key refrain of >siren song< will attest, but it takes a barrage of rasping hats and bludgeoning kicks and toms before such niceties can be foisted upon our ears. while there is an optimistic lilt to the particular notes the melody calls out, in the midst of such machismo percussion it cant help but feel emotionally ambiguous, continuing the tone set out in the first rhythmic theory releases.there is no such confusion over b side cut >genesis< from the apocalyptic boom of the opening kick to the rapid gun fire of the snare this is a track that wants to inflict damage. at the midway point the searing beat melts away as a wash of delay-riddled speech knocks you from your centre of gravity, only for the drums to come whipping back in to pick up the slack. even the sole synth note that rears its head is devoid of compassion, pulsing a creepy, robotic intonation through the clamour.

optimo trax is an offshoot label of optimo music for tracks aimed at djs/dancefloors. yes, we know there are too many record labels already, but we felt an overriding desire to start another one as so much music that didn t seem quite right for optimo music (i.e. music that was specifically designed for dancing) kept coming our way. like the parent label, optimo trax will release music by new artists and excavate forgotten classics. all four tracks were recorded in 1992. staples of jd twitchs dj sets at the timem and all tracks he still plays to this day.

more tracks selected by the running back head honcho, gerd janson, for our continuing music for autobahns series. this 12inch includes tracks previously only on the cd release plus some exclusives varied and roadworthy electronics that can also be used in cycle lanes and footpaths...tip!

for our 48th vinyl release on intacto records, we welcome ray kajioka. shaking trees is a warm, deep and delicious ep that is another notch on rays techno glory belt.

first release for the newcomer athens based recording label lower parts. tendts first ep slow years is a musical journey. a journey full of disbelief, experimentation and questions. nostalgic in the beginning, with slow chopped up beats, samples that play their part right by creating an atmosphere and suppressed bass that lie hidden in the back. as we come one step closer to reach the end of our journey the landscape starts to transform. the sound becomes a bit more static with intense need for self-criticism. melodies start moving spasmodically full of errors in a faulty random route. stacked on top of each other, they are trying obsessively to keep up with the flow until they reach climax, if they will ever do. 200 pieces cut / hand stamped labels in a printed recycled fine carton. artwork by tendts

we are very excited to announce our new dirt crew sub label >spiel< and more so our brand new artist clancy who will do the first release on our new imprint, this also being his debut ep. we started the new label to focus even more on different genres in the dance music world than we already did with dirt crew recordings.

our west coast brother from another mother marc barrite has been a vital part of the circus company troupe since the early days of the label, due in no small part to his combination of flamboyant style and hefty funk. for all the experimental qualities in marcs music as dave aju there is an equal amount of hip hop swagger and heartfelt soul, and when you filter those elements through a house music template you get close to a perfect definition of the tastes that drive our label.

cellaa music is very happy to welcome our friend elchinsoul to the fold. he delivers a diverse offering of candies for the sense - from celestially slow beats to heady grooves, hypnotizing energy and back again.

comes on nice chunky 180grams vinyl! september, back to school again. in one side one of our favourite house artists from paris: le loup. cant stop is a funky and solid uptempo banger and cherish pauses the bpms blowing our mind out to another world showing how versatile can le loup be doing house music. on the other side one of our favourite newcomer from holland: junktion. smooth talking and lazy grind tracks are simply straight forward house music, hedonist and actual, but with some classic tricks that reminds us, in some way, to old legends.

for its first longplayer, rawax proudly welcomes berlin based producer daniela la luz to the family!

gogo music proudly comes up with the second release of sir lsg, after we presented you *sax in the city*, which still was released under his former moniker hood natives and became a smash-hit in 2011. this time sir lsg teamed up with renown soul-singer brian temba and kafele who adds his distinctive trumpet lines. remixes are contributed by dj spinna and ben moss to complete a splendiferous release.
this gogo music release has been in the works for quite some time, but it surely was worth the wait and efforts, as we now are able to present a well rounded package of a well written song - exactly our aim at gogo music.

pdd are proud to welcome tsuba records to our exclusive roster. first up is a killer house ep from one of this years biggest names, waze & odyssey. early dj support from:bicep, dusky, kerri chandler & pete tong (bbc radio 1 play)

for this release, ogris debris deliver a uk-bass influenced, chord-driven primetime house stomper, somewhat different to their previous releases. on the b-side, hyperdubs grime and funky don scratcha dva eases the rhythm with his rolling bassline sound for a weighty dj tool track, while the clonious diverts the energy with his soulfull keyboard skills and swinging drums into an infectious late-summer future funk affair.

dutch breakcore/jungle legend fff recently joined the prspct family and his first release on our rvlt imprint rocks pretty damn hard! 6 tracks of epic nostalgic proportion taking you back to the good old amen days. jungle, breakcore, dark dnb, rave and even some oldschool gabber vibes. this ep has it all!

the boss , on 3 x 12inch vinyl

samuli kemppi played live twice at suicide circus, and since his energetic sound really fit well with our club, we started talking to each other about a release on our dark series imprint. so here we go now, after releases on labels such as prologue, mote evolver and perc trax, samuli kemppi now is ready to rock your boat with three tracks on our label, which define a very particular sound of their own. last day on earth brings samulis apocalyptic vision to the dancefloors. dark hisses, well scaped spaces and a hookline with the pull of a spacecraft make up for a track that with no doubt will be one of the techno anthems of the next months. a killer of a track! on the b-side spacing has similar sound aesthetics as last day on earth, but comes along more playful whereas calling approaches the apocalyptic theme from a very different angle. bleepy synths over a banging beat let you think of laser shots in the dark, haunting and scary.
