little is known about mysterious producer tommy rawson. our first acquaintance was the aptly named shy track on red rackems smugglers inn 001 release. we tried to find out more but the trail got cold pretty quick. it was not until hearing gilles peterson playing a version of hugh masekelas dont go lose it baby on his show that word got around, tommy rawson was back. this particular anthemic track found its way to mats who then started playing it out and every time, in every club no matter where in the world the reaction was same, people completely lost it on the dance floor! we had but no choice to release the track and luckily enought tommy must have a sixth sense because at the same time mats blasted the track at the local talk office to convince tooli shouting: this is the next big release for local talk, i m telling you! another track made it into his mailbox, the soulful house jam brenda done died with no name. both tracks ended up on this 12 inch of course. mr rawson has delivered the goods here, warm, sunsplashed music all the way. a name to watch for this year and probably not mysterious for long.

for the second part, frankfurts losoul (playhouse,logistic) takes the downbeat dub-techno-jazz of renatos underpool and turns it into an anthemic deep house number thats 12 minutes long and 20.000 leagues under the sea, yet full of bounce. finally, berlin-based brit ed davenport (counterchange) takes anymore and gives it an entirely different edge, a naval onslaught of crashing, jacking breakbeats, while sonar frequencies gently circle outward like the sirens call, rounding out the funkoholic remixes voyage.

a three-tracker to kick the label off, on 180g vinyl: the opener engrains snatches of melody into a percussive firefight, like something from the actress war-chest, the outstanding, elemental, stop-start jack the dub is more bristolian, from the peverelist suit of trumps, monkey is out and impressionistic.

our leader unveils yet another facet of his production arsenal, this time turning a housey cheek, courtesy of sa ensual, yet chopped-to-bits vocal. the jacking rhythm section skips along in pure style, keeping the tight bassline in check while frantic edits help i need you to fully unfold. stefano noferini nods to the old school in this double outing, and furios blasts out with a nostalgic bassline and intense beeping action over a crackling rhythm section. the title track goes for more heady territory with a hypnotizing vocal seeping in and out of the cracks, while the trademarked noferini groove keeps the bubbling subs in check. the undisputed groove don, dj pp, graces 1605 with revolver amo & navas beef things up even more with their crunchy rhythm section, and opt for a dubbier vibe with their trademarked stomping groove and spacious, low-end percussive magic. dj fronter leads us into another bouncy ride with the percussion-led cntrl and next taking the lead and rolling out into action

20 years ago the track *unfuture*, release on sven väths imprint eye q, marked a milestone in techno productions with its uncompromising style and sound, delivering a view on techno which was revolutionary at that time: stripped down to only a couple of sounds in general, the track had an impact on dancefloors as not often seen before in those trance-dominated times - and still has! alex grabbed the vinyl out of his vinyl-collection after years, did an edit for his own, sent it to pascal feos who produced the original back then and who really liked this edit and the idea in general, and so alex decided to start a remixproject on this pure classic track with young, but also established artists who were not afraid of taking the adventure to remix a track that actually consists of nothing more than a distorted kickdrum, a really monotone off-beat organ sound and an oldschool acidline. here we are with the first part of the repaints of this alltime-classic, coming from uk techno-heavywight and legend mark broom with two interpretation as well as berlins uprising and promising vault-series mastermind subjected. true and high class recycling again on credo to save our planet from bad music

after sides from matthew burton, seuil and albert schwartz, sammy dees ultrastretch label returns in 2013 with volkan akin. a regular presence at berlin institutions like club der visionäre, akin has been slowly rolling out his brand of prickly, spaced-out club tracks since the end of the last decade, both under his own name and as v for volkan. but if volkan akin has up until now been unfamiliar beyond germany, his ultrastretch debut, voltage, featuring an absolute beast of a ricardo villalobos remix, stands to turn more than a few heads in his direction. densely packed and intricately constructed, voltage is an extended groove you can get lost in. cymbals ring softly amidst whirrs of faintly melodic clicks, scratches and voices. but at the center of akins churning, percussive arrangement lies a warm and weighty kick sure to keep dancers pinned to the floor. like so many great perlon records, voltage can be taken as a deeply considered exercise in sound design or as a deadly club track simultaneously, with akins musical sophistication and knack for an inviting beat working hand-in-hand. the original mix spends over 11 minutes unraveling, but as you fall further into the swirl of akins interlocking rhythms, youre likely to stop counting. a shorter constant voltage mix evokes sunrise, pulling back the originals heft to reveal gorgeous pads and hints of organic rhythm. ricardo villalobos, sammys longtime label mate at perlon and a producer who likely needs no introduction, digs deeper into the thump at the heart of voltage on his acdc remix. focusing on the originals wisps of melody, villalobos turns in a warm, zoned-in remix that feels of a piece with the singular techno trips found on his recent lp dependent and happy

adam beyers unique vision of the afterparty uses phased percussion, tripped out drums and an ethereal like pad and melody to create a stand out remix that blends together two unique ideas momentously. ben klock steps up to take on the afterparty too with the sound ever so synonymous with him. he uses rhythmic stabs and an unusual melody that works so well within the atmospheric landscape he has created.

adesse has recently turned heads with his sought after and limited versions releases. for prime numbers he brings another high quality ep featuring three more excursions. the title track, untitled love, is a dubbed up 90s-esque workout. repetitive vocal samples swirl over a deep, low-slung bass groove & peak’d-up snares. its an unashamedly wide eyed, bouncing production that will please those checking for the current resurgence of raw garage sounds. supernal takes things into deeper territory with an intriguing steppers outing. the track oozes soul with rousing keys & smoked-out production that is all kept in line by a mesmerising, metronomic vocal. the set is closed by metachemistry an equally engrossing track utilising a shuffling groove wrapped in breathy, reedy horns & heavily reverbed percussion. all told a deeply reverential release highlighting a producer with an obviously wide palette of influence & a natural feel for what simply works.

turns out that cold meat lights no fire so attached to this music are ghosts of my life transcribing their emotions into techno. first half of this rocket is more on a negative tip, the second half is more positive, like we all should take it. either way you should listen to both sides cause they complement each other, so try to relax and enjoy the ride, or get off your ass and jam.

carving out his own unique sound for the past twenty years, terrence is one of technos true masters born from detroit. his name has become synonymous with the more outer reaches of the stripped down sound that he has made very much his own - imitators beware!
initial pressing on limited red vinyl.

the chasing voices collective returns with another offering of ambitious electronic music from the other side. scold is a forced march through the acid-burned depths of new york citys depravity. sprawling, syncopated patchworks gradually form a vision of asbestos infested warehouse spaces and rusted-out ruins, throbbing with the pulsations of technos transformative promise and wounded sentimentality. combative, brilliant and dynamic new music for and from new rome and beyond.
single-sided pressing.
