skylax records, the company focused on releasing original obscure dance classics and everything that sounds fine to their ears! for our 21. release we decided to bring you guys >motorik life<, the brand new single from the inimmitable hardrock striker, the brain behind skylax.

petros (aka echonomist) understood that apparel music is always looking for the jazzy. we perceive this term as a really special thing, strictly human, true. and then if the real instruments come in, like voices or saxophones, the plate is ready. >thats it< starts far away, with a solo that blends and presents the entire ep something more than one minute. everything flows, stops, gets consumed, digs. >midnight talk< brings us in the most hyper deep, unusual like the style of the artist is. an overview of evolutions that lead us to the awareness that petros is in our day, between things that go fast and others that slow down to be observed. the law of nature brings us to ali kuru remix (we move a little bit to the right from greece to turkey). habits, perceptions and tastes change. ali takes us on a mental journey, long, meditated, tidy. a motif that turns over and over, while things change all around, everything evolves, disclosing new sonar places. there is not much to say. >midnight talk< is a complete ep, wanted, constructed with care and a lot of work.

once again another masterpiece from the dynamic reflection squad! this time its from the young guns dynamo with amazing remixes from the heavyweights peter van hoesen and samuli kemppi. dynamo is a collaboration between paul boex and marco rane.all n all a superior release by these young guns and remix heavyweights. lets pray for more of this pure quality stuff and keep our eyes on the the future. the scene need more labels like this which reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come. dynamic reflection will represent only the true spirit of pure techno, they will put only the quality stuff back on the dancefloor!

2017 repress, the r&b ep is a selection of ground breaking, genre blurring bootlegs / edits. these tracks continue our mission to change the way we dance, from the minimal 2-step to a much freakier marcy grind. all three cuts have been a major part of our dj sets over the past few tours and everything is dance-floor approved (in some cases even with sing-a-long). it is with great pleasure that we can share this with you for this limited edition pressing! extravaganza - a guaranteed >ladies-report-to-the-dancefloor-for-booty-shake< anthem, this tune tells the story of the romance/heartbreak from a one night stand. sex in the kitchen – over by the stove, put you on the counter by the buttered rolls… its rare to get into such fine details about the culinary arts while raving, and now this bass heavy edit done changed the game. dreams of tomorrow – take one colombian jam session, add a sprinkle of lee curtiss drums and a whole lot of lonnie liston smith and what do you get? mo money

for release no.4 sudden drop enlisted the talents of russian based recording artist & dj tripmastaz, who has been producing for the likes of morris audio and most noticeably dj sneaks magnetic recordings imprint since 2004. with each release his sound seems to get more defined and mature and our attention which seriously pricked when we first heard his tracks being played on jus-eds radio show. we quickly got in touch and asked for some tracks. first up is >utilized stock sounds<, originally produced in 2003 this melancholic slab of deep techno deservedly finally sees the light of day with a grimy lo-fi feel and enough dance floor nous to work the floor admirably. flip side track >botinko dub< injects a big, cavernous bass line and razor sharp hats n snares.

desolat is proud to present a release where veterans meet manon aka manon maeder has been part of the swiss techno and house scene since the early nineties. starting with illegal parties in bern, later involvement in legendary early days afterhours at the >oxa” in zurich, followed by first productions in 1996, residency at >hive< club and her involvement with the >vision< festival, manon is today probably more thrilling than ever before. for desolat, she delivers remarkable tracks that sound like a sonic snapshot of a balearic sunset. pat carnal speaks about manon getting lost in brasil 20 years ago and the conversation was recorded at one >formbar< afterhour. guitar virtuoso mats küpfer added his part at studio willeneger in bern. we d like to tell you more about >que cara é essa” but its probably better to listen to the music. first remix comes from another veteran and one of our heroes, stacey pullen, a kosmik messenger and an innovator from the second wave of detroit techno. he takes vocal snippets from the original and wraps them up in his trademark percussive, driving, stripped down sound. second remix comes from desolats own tini representing a new generation of electronic music talents. she turns manons original in a dark claustrophobic shaker that will gently take you by the hand and stay on your side until the next sunrise

we are happy to welcome a new artist into our family. young jose pouj is one of the new emerging talents from the spanish techno scene. his speciality is hard edged techno, but with a touch of class. a sound carefully crafted and skilfully developed. his blood poisoning ep starts with waken, a scientific techno number with a solid rhythm arrangement, fat basses and sharp synth workout, a funky electronic steamroller designed for body and mind. the b side opens with sepsis, a harder approach to modern techno with a strong drum programming, sweeping drones, an arpeggiated bassline and a bunch of bleeps that appear and disappear throughout the arrangement. an anabolic track that slowly goes to a mental break and turns once more to madness. the release closes with organic return, where the main course is made up of carefully programmed synthetic drums, till an emb-flavoured bassline comes into the track, reminding us of the good old pulsinger style. summing up, this is the work of a great young producer that injects new blood into our label. watch out for forthcoming adventures of this new talent.

>we wanted to try something on a slightly dubbier tip than our usual fare and had been listening to lots of old european techno from the early 90s.<

the three tracks for this release go through a wide range of our sound. >cyclone< by samuel dan and feygin is a throwback to the way dirtybird records sounded back in 2006, raw and fun with big drums. but >cyclone< sounds amazing compared to the sound quality of some of those old records we all love, a definite update to the old db vibe. b-jus >babbel net< is his follow-up appearance to last years bomb track >my sneakers< that all of us played 1000 times. this is more in the smooth 808 style of dirtybird while still giving you some punch and melody. this record works really well for me and this groove crossover into a house set no problem. last but not least is maelstroms >you play<. this is a real monster, not so much for the house heads but instead for those of you who like to cross genres and explore the bass regions during your sets. definitely not your friendly deep house record this one is a real db banger in the tradition of big dirty bass we love here in san francisco.

humandrone from japan featured on this lemon yellow release from we play house.
marked firmly on our soundcloud page and in various publications: wph does not accept nor listen to demos. a way of working that was shattered when one day red d found a real physical demo in his postbox. from a galaxy far far away called japan came humandrone a.k.a. takaaki shibuya, with his twist on jackin chicago rhythms. a twist deeply melancholic, almost detroit like, showing us that chicago music can be both jackin’ and musical at the same time.

thinking about prspct without counterstrike is like peanutbutter without jelly, johnny without cash & kiss without the make-up ... these prspct veterans are back again with a heavyweight 12 that will leave hanging to the edge of your seat.
for the first side we got counterstrike & zardonic going at it head 2 head with >when worlds collide<. this pa stomper is a brute piece of work. destructive rolling beats hammer your face in while the bassline peals your face off bit by bit. put your screwface on and start bashing to this one.
