its been a couple of years since classic released an original artist album, the last one being luke solomons critically praised timelines. this time round classic brings a relative newcomer into the fold. eli escobar has slowly been building a credible reputation out of his home in new york, releasing his first single back in the late nineties and moving more recently from hip hop into dance music. as a dj, he harks back to a golden era of disco and early house music, graduating through the 90s during which he was brought up on a diet of underground house including classics early output. in recent years classics head was turned by his wonderful album up all night that was released on night people, a label from new york that eli (pronounced el-ee) has a vested interest in. following up the album with a series of singles, the label swiftly became a cult dance classi

next up on will & ink is a second release from yeleesa hall & malin, hot on the heels of their last collaborative effort, lucas, at the end of 2015. once again the mysterious hall and amsterdam/paris based oscillate music boss cook up some hard hitting house that is sonically inventive. opener first carol has hulking kicks and hits and a writhing, monstrous sounding synth line that brings real rawness and energy to the four-four beats all around it. some spooky little beat-less passage of eerie industrial sounds appear before second carol again slips into a well swung and purposeful groove. this one is rubbery and rolling, with dubbed out chords riding up and down and airy hats adding a sense of scale. another ep of contemporary club music of the highest order.

blacksilk finally unveils the first issue, shedding light on its founder s darkest moniker. taking shape as a multi-disciplinary project, the record label founded by the dj and producer marc ash aims to bring out the best of yet hidden experimental and obscure electronic acts. this challenge is achieved by pushing the boundaries between art and music, conveying a strong message with a well defined aesthetic imprint and therefore employing unconventional art pieces into release-specific imageries.

nice price deal !!! school of zuversicht is a band collective around front lady dj patex. extensive live shows, a living room called golden pudel club in hamburg, and countless side projects by patex and her musicians sum up to an impressive peer group. 10 famous friends have now expressed their affection to school of zuversicht with their contributions to this remix collection. we are proud to introduce sounds by die boys (deichkind), station 17, festland (zickzack) and paulo olarte (liebe detail), as well as our pingipung heroes wols and mister tingle. special: we will release two selected killer tracks (die boys and festland) as limited 7inch vinyl single, including the download code for the whole album! once sold out the digital download will still be available.

nice price deal !!! we were very surprised as we got unexpected mail from outsider stanley anscorm, who seems to be departed years ago. although it wasn t possible to recognize the origin of the mail, we are pretty sure he still lives on earth. but who knows? it isn t beyond believe that he s find a way to leave this rotten planet and is waiting for his eternal rest somewhere out there. the only thing we can be sure about is the timeless quality of the futuristic and precise music he sends electronically. battle beyond the sun narrates about the human struggle for life in an somehow sinister and - how can i say it? - parallel universe. mr.anscorm s music still strikes the balance between the grim aspects of life and the promise of hope we can discover in the wonders of existence and the methods of survival. although the battle beyond the sun ep is sometimes frightening, a white light of hope always shines through the darkness

(remember aniara 001 sold out in 1 week.. and so far never got repressed despite the demand! dont sleep!)

the return of wasserfall to the workshop brings a bunch of well-informed, beautifully executed & idiosyncratic tunes that represent our man so well. charlie, the opener is kind of oddball, jazzed out, abstract house with a strange charlie parker homage. stoned mumbles murk around ideally tuned rimshots and double bass flecks that cheekily plod about sounding like a stumbling one man band.

mount liberation unlimited is formed of sunbeams, sockerbitar, and swedes ! chance members of a stockholm-based band during their late teens, tom lagerman and niklas janzon found themselves peeling off from the pack to smoke and make techno. dreaming of a global dance music community in which artists are allowed anonymity, the two set out to service this secret society by soundtracking happy-making moments under the mount liberation unlimited guise. mlu s third release, (eerie) for your love, developed organically and inversely from their live set into the studio. in this procedural fluidity, hypnotic live takes animate as tenacious tone, melody, and groove. mlu s method relies upon thee jam, the feeling shared in the moment, and then revisiting that friendzied magic. this dedication to spontaneity is tempered by a naive faith in one another, an unspoken jibber jabber that melds two minds together in childlike harmony.

spooky electro ep

heading up the release is newcomer bogdan drazic, crunched up horn and elephant blaring freak-house and ebm, perfect for zombie clearance raids. in the amazon. at night. the gates of hell are open and i couldn t possibly describe what s climbing out. last but by no means least is the valencian hero daniel kyo, perhaps the true heir to the throne of the real sonido de valencia, spaced out and cosmic with layers of emotion and sinister atmospherics. they sleep, we live.

andreas gehm is known for his fierce, unapologetic acid style. but the cologne man does have a more mellow side, a smoother side, and that s what this three tracker is. of course, smooth gehm still has some rough edges. -yellow flowers- combines thick pads, skittering beats, warming samples and frigid bars in an intoxicating brew. malice and menace rear their ashen faces for the evil machinations of -late at night-, muffled vocals and sharpened snares glinting in the streetlights. safety arrives in the form of the aptly titled -less violence.- rhythms are still rough edged, melodies still have an underhanded element. yet there is a subdued humanity in the sweetened strings, emotion coming to a head as the needle runs out.

dystopix comes 3 years after the last neud photo record and the wait was well worth it. things have gotten darker with this release. elegant craftsmanship, subtle but effective vocals whisper throughout, and as always, it s cybotron influence is clear. the tracks flow with an eery cohesiveness, making it neud photo s most well told story to date. the hard part is figuring out whether the story is fiction or (soon to be) reality. these 6 electro hits can easily be enjoyed either chapter by chapter (songs for the mix or dancefloor), or as a whole (for bedroom listening). mastered by rude 66 first 60 copies include a handstamped photo insert. super limited us imports

smallpeeps doing the crystal fandango. after a little while, just and julius are back on wax with a fresh three-tracker, that was well tested on the road by some close friends for quite a while- and it was about time to put out this groover right in time for the summer. as always it comes with a full cover artwork by stefan marx.

meda fury presents the debut release of malmö’s armand jakobsson aka rimbaudian. taking his name from the modernist poet, jakobson’s music is a beguiling mixture of thumping house, tripped out rhythmic excursions and blissed out, lattice-like synth melodies.

fresh off the heels of the success of their ‘waiting ground’ ep, the boys in black, frank & tony, are skating back onto the scene with another four track summer stomper, ‘under the jaguar sun’. the a-side starts things off with the titular track, a rollicking deep house number primed for sunset raves. a bouncing and lush bass line is the back bone of the track, as crisp hi-hats, distant, yearning pads, and shimmering bells propel dancers forward into eyes closed euphoria. things ramp up quickly into peak-time ecstasy on the breakaway edit of solo andata’s “a ballet of hands.” a whirling dervish of delicate music boxes, bowed guitars, delicate music boxes, and distant horns swirl around and weave in and out between a skipping drum pattern, pushing and pulling alongside a gruff and stuttering bass, perfect for those late night rooftop ventures.

poker flat recordings offers up another mouthwatering collaboration in the form of this ep by mennie and julien sandre. mennie hails from italy, and had fast been gaining a serious reputation on the underground, both as a resident at club 999 in his home country and as a talented up and coming producer. teaming up here with the frenchman julien sandre, this is an international project that will hit home with djs and house lovers globally. the night riots ep kicks off with partitions, which sees the boys in sparkling form - twisting and teasing a sick groove out of fairly simple sources.arth j follows a similar path the devil is in the detail, and mennie and sandre get down to some serious beat science, punctuated with some subtle chords and vocal stabs in the process. in a pixel world’ reveals the pair’s love of classic chicago vibes distilled though french touch, bringing in a super funky groove filtered though various effects and processes, and paying homage to the timeless sounds of early daft punk. ‘no more closes out the ep with a yet another weapon - a ray of house sunshine that skips along on a fidgety beat offset by filtered strings and chopped up vocal stabs. its got summer written all over it.

after a refreshing and sold-out opening release by mad rey (hotel la chapelle), vertv returns with pondicherry, the second ep of another incredible young french newcomer: monomite.the multifaceted musician is sneaking around genres like house, broken beat, hip hop and breaks revealing his signature sense of groove (gimme da lighta plez, whatchulookinat), humor (flying saucers), depth ($$$) and his ability to funk, playing sensual hypnotic bass-lines and syncopated drums (lovindabass mon frer, les baffes de georges moustaki).vertv is really proud to introduce you to this touching artist, monomite’s pondicherry ep is an open window to his complex personality. riyl : dego, kaidi tatham, theo parrish, glenn astro, funkineven

hailing from mexico, zombies in miami have caught the ears of the electro disco faithful with outings for correspondent and love on the rocks. the twosome are debuting on bordello a parigi with a pair of late night burners. turquoise is a sliding snaking piece of synthesizer sorcery. crisp beats are draped in hazy harmonies, reverb soaked bars rising amongst soaring keys and echoed vocals for a work of true elation. hipodromo follows, and starts as it means to go out. drums crash before a floor melting synthline is dropped. the swirl of the mirrorball takes over as this duo whisk you into the warm and melting sounds of strings, rich bass and climbing claps.

in 2007, renowned french producer julien jabre tracked down the american gospel singer phyliss mckoy joubert on myspace. joubert was already a cult figure for house aficionados thanks to -stand on the word-, a song she wrote and performed with her -celestial choir- in 1982 that became a staple of the club scene in new york. it resurfaced as a mysterious bootleg in 2000. julien, who d fallen in love with the song, was eager to remix and officialy rerelease it. when he finally reached out to phyliss, she explained the multitrack tape had been lost. the only thing to do was rerecording it-along with 10 other tracks. today on french label elias, julien and the joubert singers are releasing -stand on the word- in its original and unique 1982 version (mistakenly named after larry levan) and 3 brand new mixes including a fresh dimitri from paris remix. that s how the good lord works!

hungarian imprint farbwechsel has built up a varied and interesting discography over its 4 years of existence. this limited edition cassette from bouchons d orelles deviates slightly from the label s normal aesthetic, taking a more industrial/drone route with the original tracks. the remixes are also a fantastic and well thought-out edition to the release, with the s.olbricht remix standing out.

strength lies in calmness – and vice versa. marcel fengler returns on imf and offers three new inspirited musical pieces that protrude from the club context just as well as cater for your home stereo, picking up on the diverse musical moods defined by his debut album fokus (ostgut ton, 2013) while concentrating on intertwining sound aesthetics. with “kyu” laid out on the a-side, this new 12- starts off with a delicate yet muscular floor-pleaser – its subtle 4/4 rhythm is counteracted by lush claps on 2/4, but the true finesse comes in form of its varying rhythmic details, crisp hi-hats and underlying, subtle melodies, most notably the twirling organ trills, sustained synth pads and alienated shout outs. “shitau” on b1 picks up on these introverted and adoring musical moods with more organic bell percussion and swelling synth layers adding a more cinematic touch to the complex rhythm patterns—then pausing for a short dreamy break, gaining speed again before culminating in a grand finale. “zen” follows up with intimate string arrangements until fengler varies the tone and tempo with tribalist percussion and a lush kick drum. this ep is an ideal companion, whether you re pruning your bonsai or branching out a club set.

berlin duo soukie & windish are releasing their second long-player work ‘loom’ on their home label ‘ursl records’ this coming may. an album for the moment, looming its way through our moves with its dreamy, escapist moods. loom carries accents of dirty micro-pop while managing to be both upbeat and deep simultaneously. it is an album of tension — pushing out through every carefully selected drum and every distant, distorted synth line. it marks the moment when you decide not to go home.

honoring the roots and wires of detroits 909 and 303 sounds, flavio folco blends elements of hip-hop, electro, breakbeat techno, futuristic soul and funk music committed to the edge of post-acid house styles. an audio injection into the body-mind as we wave through the polyrhythmic ensemble of molecular beats and crisscrossed percussive patterns. on remix duty deadbeat who needs no introduction, and indigo raw ’s mirus.

philpot and pauls musique chief tobi ettle starts this year a new series of releases from young and well talented producers around the periphery of the label and record store. the range of musical direction will be very open minded but in general there will be dub techno, deep and minimal techno as well as electronic beats with some italo disco and experimental approach. first is done by steppin wolf originally from basel and now staying in frankfurt/main. before he was living in stuttgart and he was frequenting the pauls musique record store always bringing updates of his latest production. here hes now dropping a deep piece of techno with several acid splash and some kind of a boards of canada-feeling. watch out also for his current release on kanns division mana-all-nite. thanks for purchasing a real copy!

lovers rock recordings celebrates its tenth release with another lush compilation featuring tracks by three core members of the lr family and newcomer gunnar haslam. opener “vacation” by ital sees the label boss crafting a supple dj weapon out of a lysergic sonic ecosystem. the rapidly-maturing dj wey returns to the fold under his dj python alias with “amazonia,” an ambient bomb that allows a deceptively simple hook to lilt across a thumping reggaeton rhythm. gunnar haslam makes his lr debut with “vector no campo,” blending modular acid and perfectly crunched electro drums. finally sleeper cell close out with the shimmering, haunting “v.” the first lr release of 2016, lr no.10 exemplifies the label’s ethos and sound while pointing to the future, with eps by ital & halal, yoshinori hayashi and others slated for later in the year.

alex suarez is part of a new breed of producers based out of brooklyn carving out their own unique sound experimenting in the world of raw primordial electronics. under the name cienfuegos, he has prior releases on brooklyn s primitive languages imprint as well as the france s unknown precept label-with his new -lost in god s country- ep we see him debut on the new york centered bank records. through the four tracks cienfuegos harkens back to the time of early industrial music, not far off from the early transmissions of spk or even hinting at sounds akin to e.g. oblique graph. suarez has a knack for developing textures and tension in his music sewing it all together with plodding rhythms and the occasional creeper vocal. heavyweight stuff coming most highly recommended.

the new vinyl-only record label modeight continues to expand the influence of east european underground dance music. silat beksi is well known for his tracks that pump the best afterhours worldwide, and also for his plentiful creative collaborations. three tracks were prepared for the ep together with the immensely talented musician durrrred from germany. “over” immerses us in a cold dark techno atmosphere. “afterglow” brings you out of the darkness so that you can see the infinite beauty of dawn at the sea. the elastic bass line of “inception” pulls you into the dense vibrations that captivate you and won’t let you leave the dance floor.

pure worries from leipzig — three club burners steeped in detroit traditions, distilling the explorations in collective, nervy hypnosis of km live sets. as the music slowly unfurls, there he is at every turn, subtly tweaking its parameters, redistributing its weight, pricking its grooves into a state of utterly infectious perpetual movement. the two visions of chilazon track opposite pathways: the first is twelve minutes of gorgeous, dubwise, aquatic techno, spattered with kicks and razor-sharp hi-hats, and smeared with ghostly echoes, then a terse mesh of broken drums, escalating to a quiet yet feverishly intense peak. lanthanum is calligraphic swordplay, its toms and bass stabs warily circling one another in a graceful steppers’ dance, spaced-out and fathoms-deep

limited pressing lp issue of previously unreleased recordings. 7 tracks have been remastered from james masons personal master tapes (which had to be repaired due to deterioration during storage) and have attempted to preserve as closely as possible the sound of the original recording. liner notes are written by james mason himself. tip!

with the opening track providing an atmospheric techno masterpiece, dubspeeka s production ability shines through with a staccato synth melody providing a unique listening experience. staying true to the melodic techno sound that has propelled dubspeeka to the forefront of the global underground music stage, k354 and k375 showcases his ability to conjure varying sounds with chilling vocal samples and distorted percussion sounding out through each production respectively. with dubspeekas prominence within the techno world flourishing faster than any other artist within the field, unfriended makes yet another decisive point in this eclectic artists career.

the dutch artist releases music at a rate of knots – there’s been at least nine albums under the legowelt name alone now, and he has over 30 different aliases, all of which interact in weird, wonderful ways. his music has appeared on labels as disparate as unknown to the unknown and cocoon, and he’s got a reputation as a real studio wizard – not only due to the hardware in the studio, but the sample packs and plugins that he gives out for free online. on top of that, he’s about as unpretentious as it’s possible to get.

what happens when you bring together two percussionists who are well-established in the electronic music scene and commission them to produce four tracks exclusively with percussion instruments-with the only requirement being not to deliver any overtly thought-out nerd music? the answer has been provided by sven kacirek and thomas klein on this release.
