augmented third. our third ep introduces the ordinary subject - title of the latest project of alexander siegel and christian scheel. infected by creating sound - generated sensory input – they are both enthused by the same. following this idea, the ordinary is certainly not able to enhance a current perception of reality, but the augmented, however, can. the ordinary subject truly live music in an irrational way and aren t it different views that can complete a perception? to get an impression of what we try to say, tune your ears and listen.

with ifumes first ever release >polaroid love< ep still fresh on our decks and receiving many props from around the globe, master-hs exotic komplex de deep imprint, for their next release, turn to a far more established artist in the form of label regular, francois dubois. whilst his techno alias funk d void has taken the lions share of the plaudits for many years, lars sandbergs other alter ego has, in recent times, shone just as brightly. whilst the tough beats of fdv are firmly routed in his scottish homeland, its no doubt the warmer climate of his spanish residence that enthuses and drives the deeper and smoother sounds of francois dubois. releases and remixes from the francophile have graced such labels as urban torque, plastic city, freerange and buzzin fly.
early dj supports and feedbacks by laurent garnier, djul’,z, ben westbeech, motorcitysoul, feygin, brother’,s vibe, sasse, andy cato…, ...

sampler 1 of 2 from in flagrantis new album. predictably jacked to the brim full of their signature no-gristle, no-glory aesthetic. succeeding 2006s wronger than anyone else and 2009s brash & vulgar, in flagrantis sasa crnobrnja and alex gloor have left behind their vintage porn-chic sensibilities and instead turn to yesterdays trashed goods for inspiration. >flea markets and recycling parts of our production are really at the center of this album,< said the now london-based crnobrnja. >i like things to be old and run-down,< added alex gloor, who still resides in basel. >so i let myself be inspired by one of my favorite places to spend time: 1970s- 80s new york city.< among four killer tracks, >prelude to chaos< reminisces the days where the finest of 69-cent wines glistened in the gutters outside the arcade.

every so often a new artist on the dumb unit roster steps up and bats one out of the park. case in point, our man from essen : tim querengaesser: aka pherox. the panthers walk ep is an expressive and bombastic ode to a night that goes boom! sultry lyrics voiced by tim himself and guest lee curtiss sit firmly over top of tims excellant and chugging under groove. the panthers walk is an exciting slab of music for any dj and one that will certainly bring pherox and his brand of funk into a more deserving light.

if you have been exposed to this cultural phenomenon called electronic music for more than a while, you will certainly have in mind something more than bright sunsets and perfect waves when you evocate that part of our awesome planet called california. the west coast has provided an own-harvested sound that strives to differ itself from surrounding mainstream conditions, making it fine and classy when it comes to underground house and techno music. alland byallo aint no rookie on the issue, rolling beats for enough years now to need no intruduction. with productions on labels like dirt crew, liebe detail, dirty bird, poker flat or nightlight music (allands own imprint) he can be well considered like the last but one exponent of a whole lineage of californian producers.

berghain resident norman nodge offers up his first full ep for ostgut ton with three contemplative tracks. expanding and contracting with countless subtleties and enriched with bold artistic license. >the happenstance< is an enthused explorations into the many musical zones existing outside of techno. a warm and fresh embodiment of 80s wave electronica - like a classic carpenter score - only a few elements are needed for his narrative to shine. the impression of distant melodies exist in purposefully excluded moments of rest, where nodge uses restrain rather than release to interact with our very perception of the music. a fuller club cut, >body to body< floats into spacious, acidic zones. with the impression of sinking into a disorientating, resonating industrial space, this snaking and hypnotic exercise takes us in a very different yet equally rewarding direction to its sweeter a-side cousin. an ornate exercise in reduction and challenging timing, >breakdown< is a slow and measured display of nodges unique synthesised visions. this short exploration piece is a brave and gritty suggestion of whats to come next from this talented producer

dedicated to our universally loved linda !!

following the success of his debut ep, komisch is delighted to put out the next instalment from sp-x. like his first release, the three tracks on field lines never end capture the essence of contemporary techno - austere and functional, yet deeply resonating. field construction starts with crackle of a broken power cable accompanying brittle percussion and a juggernaut rhythm, before dank filters, distorted riffs and a combination of doubled up claps and hissing hats bring the track to an irresistibly dark climax. internalize follows a similar path, but straight away sp-x plots a more ominous course, with a muffled filter making way for jarring riffs, a grubby acid line and killer claps. last but certainly not least, flux is constructed using dense rhythms, deadweight, iron bar beats and a howling siren riff that sounds like it came from beyond. all the while, sp-xs rasping, firing percussion weaves in and out. these are deadly effective techno tracks, streamlined for use on big speakers - but dont take our word for it, try them out yourselves!

another red hot and innovative release from our favourite ny label! ghost note follow up their stunning debut with another double header of uncategorizable, but mindblowing cosmic dance music.

>corky< is the third ep from brand brauer frick on tartelet records and features a remix from tartelets own james braun. music has always been the defining core of tartelet records. this may seem like an obvious statement, but that was the very reason why it hit us like a ton of bricks when we receivedthe first demo from paul frick and his new band around two years ago you might say that the brandt brauer frick sound touched on a vibration that had been lurking in our musical subconscious. we ll resist the temptation to wax lengthy or lyrical about >corky< instead, we suggest you have a listen and let yourself be seduced by its panoramic echoes and pumping bass drum. hop aboard an odyssey that leads brandt brauer frick through the technoid city of detroit. its a fine ride indeed.

well rounded kick off 2011 with the deep space bump-n-hustle of littlefoots aptly named >interplanetary< ep.
all 4 tracks contrast tuff dry drums & low sweeping subs with cosmic atmospheres and twilight melodies and chords. theres a unique strictness in the drums here, less swung than typical garage but with innovative programming that shows a producer keen to explore new possibilities. as ever with well rounded and our producer friends, we are celebrating influences from the past - think classic 4/4 uk garage in the vein of dem 2, mixed with early 90s rave sounds and welded together in a motor city car plant. with added post-dubstep production sensibilities, littlefoot is creating an unheralded hybrid sound. all 4 tracks contribute to the completeness of the ep - we go in hard, explore different areas and complete our journey with the last track. we hope you enjoy this trip.

our fav greek fella is back on track with his new and third 12 inch on morris audio! ekkohaus has been steadily building up his profile with releases on 2020 vision, mule electronique, cargo edition and liebe*detail with his, yeah lets say >tech-house< style. >dance in the streets< is a good example of this and shows both sides of ekkohaus!
