after featuring on the one records va released earlier this year with *besides*, young frenchmen yamen & eda are back on board the label with *planet brooklyn*. the release features two seductively deep solid club tracks with one special remix coming from dream team shaun reeves, jay haze and bill patrick and another from label head subb-an.

fresh from lovers rock: two new hypnotic live takes from ital, recorded at red bull studios in madrid this june. aptly-titled a-side *throbbing* rides a spiraling arpeggio in and out of focus against a jacking 909 beat, while *nodding* builds from a simple motif into a resonating, full-immersion soundscape.
continuing the thread started earlier this year with his 12 inch for workshop and the interplanetary prophets collaboration with jamal moss, *throbbing / nodding* showcases itals move away from a computer-based approach into live hardware. the results are two stunning balancing acts, simultaneously propulsive and melting, mysterious and raw.

the relentless work ethic of dj w!ld shows no sign of slowing down with another amazing ep, this time through his own imprint the w label, that unleashes four new tracks plus a dubbed out remix. in contrast to his recent output on other labels the four tracks sit firmly in the dj tools category with stripped back arrangements, raw-to-the-bone underground house grooves and drums showcasing all that is good about the parisians highly in-demand dj sets. head-nodding tribal infused percussion is the main theme with tracks blind and miami bitch setting the scene with a brass breakdown in the latter that is sure to send shivers down spines. narco switches things up with its core element focused around a shoulder shaking bass organ straight out of the 90s. on board gets and original and re-worked dub outing with hypnotic congas and a vocal that loops inside the mind.

valioso recordings present their first ep called la banda includes tracks from the whole valioso crew andre lemont & marius white, tolga top. early support by marco carola, richie hawtin, reelow, federico locchi, sebastian lutz, ricky syfer, sven kerkhoff and many more

gator boots, pimped out gucci suits and a quarter tank of gas in a new e-class benz. sometimes musical rules are just meant to be broken. with no exceptions, here comes gator boots, a new imprint born in the true spirit of underground. no holds barred, vinyl only and extraordinarily limited we proudly present bootlegs for the sake of bootlegs. can you dig it? we knew you could!

impossible rendez-vous is an hypnotic and meandering house excursion by swing maestro guillaume and his jazzed out coutu dumonts.

hitsafe are a duo of established producers operating under an enigmatic moniker. nothing new, you might say, and that is true. the music is so outstanding and unusual though, that in this case this approach really does make sense. serious jaw-work is funk in its purest form. and we mean real funk! wonder how many djs will have the guts and abilities to play this one out…to round this release up, we asked lopazz and casio casino for a remix and these guys came up with two! both are so good, we couldnt make a choice. so here we go with both of them on this release. the jack remix on a2 is a functional tech housy Überhit, suitable for all peaktime house floors, the jane remix on the b-side is a moodymanesque version with a strong ludicruous tendency, that has all necessary qualities to become a timeless epic. massive!

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.

the main tracks from the sold out & wanted ava 005 including prosumer mix and new lockgrooves.

the man from marseille vernon dropping his second e.p for dabj here, building on the groove of his debut >chicken dance< but adding an extended palette of sound and taking things in a slightly tougher direction. >how to travel the universe (without a flying saucer)< kicks of with >ignition<, an eerie ghost train cut ripe for an lsd-fuelled danse macabre through the town after the witching hour. >one night in tanzania< rolls out into a rugged, clave-led jacker: a perfect mix between the deep and the tough that vernon can deftly muster, seemingly with ease. flip the white wax for a run of jagged, acidic noise on >how to build a pyramid<, a perfect soundtrack to getting >the acid life< tattooed on yer forehead tebori-style by a crippled ex-yakusa in a back-alley whorehouse...

garrett david and adam rowe first met 4 years ago working together in the run-down offices of dust traxx. since then they have graduated to roommates and co-workers at chicagos gramaphone records. with their debut release, the boys deliver a unique and endearing house sound with a bit of quirk and machine-made flavor. an ep for the selectors, each track demands its own place within the night. b free features their dear friend and vocalist, shaun j wright (ex. hercules & love affair). we have been waiting so long to get this out, and cannot wait to share it with the world. werk.

played by: max essa, i love disco!, sleazy beats recordings, coyote is it balearic?
review: japans 9dw release their first track for is it balearic..? right on is a super chilled loopy slo mo disco gem. touches of soft acid and boogie bassline make this a certain for the more discerning dancefloor. the mushrooms project remix creates an ever growing tribal dubby trip with what sounds like a jews harp thrown in for good measure. mesmerising. the b side features a track that has been an iib favourite for a couple of years since it was heard live in loop tokyo. this slowave almost out of sync techy chugger is not like anything else. evolving with analogue synths and stabs to become a heads downs stomper. international man of mystery man power adds man power to the track and creates a slightly darker journey into synth land

manhattan filmmaker-turned-beatbroker francis hsueh aka policy has been unfolding a skewed yet chic house blueprint across the last three years, as evinced via a series of eps for eminent dancefloor wholesalers such as rush hour and argot – yet his latest seems his most assured and distilled to date. postscript plays street dice with choppy electronics and disrobed rhythm architectures, maxed out but close to the chest, splashed with off-grid percussive patterns and muted jazz textures.
limited edition of 450 copies.

the *yes, i m elastic* ep is the latest coup from brooklyn-based artist physical therapy. expertly fusing gritty analog techno with playful, eccentric quirkiness and tweaked out samples of the artists own voice, the release marks physical therapys first release on fifth wall. j. tijn remixes.

deep pulsating techno straight out of london. ian axide drops his old street on atphase. underground slammer.

after three quality releases, woods n bass records vinyl-only series receives the labels mastermind merino, to deliver his first 12 on his own imprint. the colombian dj and producer presents four cuts of melodic but yet killer techno, and in which medula, the title track, offers you a space riff of detroit sounds that will fill any dancefloor, making it a great secret weapon for any dj to pull out at the right moment. better watch out for this one, south american techno at its best.

the kicks started as a collective of different musicians, electronic & instrumentalists, that gathered together under one roof just for the fun of it, coming together and jamming at their own expense. a jam is a jam. theres no aim, no target. it is free from expectations and just like that the tapes piled up with no specific style or genre lines. whatever happens, happens is pretty much the attitude that created a label, not out of necessity but out of convenience of being free to release the more outstanding cuts recorded, regardless of their personal definition. the first release is from the curators and creators of the project, maayan nidam & alex picone. the record starts with the psychedelic tone of alice in the desert, continues to a still hypnotic yet down to earth 020 and ends with the stabbing butt shaker think about it. the next releases will continue featuring picone & nidam, joined by cool cats like aquarius heaven, san proper & cesar merveille.

sneaky music is the new imprint from andy bird, the man behind the infamous love fever parties, and producer ranacat. to kick off the new label they have chosen silk 86 to roll out the honours with an ep that showcases silk 86s evolution from the well received clear waters debut on manuccis mistress. the pleasure venture represents a compelling package of crisp production meets gritty warmth with a splash of that 80s sleaze. the pleasure venture ep leads with *felicity*, a production oozing with warmth from the offset. hypnotic vocal cuts pepper throbbing pads and bass stabs giving way to a meandering melody that weaves in and out. on the flip, *the exchange* fuses classic percussion of the windy city and a zig-zagging pad sample hinting at low slung 7am sleaze. *nightdrive* is when the freaks come out, as silk 86 hits eerie vocal snips to a twilight swansong that will disorientate and delight.

summertime has passed and so has the time for relaxing. autumnal vibes and serious atmospheres are back and throne of bloods latest fits right in. marking the imprints very first collaboration with another imprint, the throne of black catalogue ep sees nyc mainstay pixelife (lets play house, horn wax) dropping two new originals alongside brand new jams from australias carter brothers (black catalogue, defected) and black catalogue mainman monty luke(mothership, planet e, black catalogue)

ltd backstock !!
let us say it right away, >the praetorian / rq-170< is breaking new grounds for artist & label equally. stagnation equals death. this to many new side of shed probably presents one of the darker and more experimental sounds of 50 weapons. its not techno. its not dubstep. its not breakcore. its not jungle. its not ambient. its not chill out. its not glitch. its not drone. what is it? epic bass!

4 track sampler from the *woods* album by chip jacks, including a plaid remix.

in the 70s radio stations were a powerful force across the whole of the us, and anyone with a transistor radio had access all kinds of music. live music was another matter altogether, and unless you found yourself in a major city your nights out were limited to what the local talent had to offer. this was especially so with soul and funk acts, as mainstream rock and pop was where the money was. so for small time oklahoma soul bands such as husband and wife charles and barbara burtons groups messengers inc - and later burton inc - times were tough. however, like many purveyors of soul, tough times were no match for those with determination, persistence and a story to tell. many artists scraped enough money together to make a 45 or two on their own label, but the burtons took this to another level – they got themselves organised and released their own full length lps.
limited to 1000 individually numbered vinyl lps.

*gently down your stream* von the four mints markiert einen kreativen höhepunkt innerhalb der columbus, ohio, soul-szene, an der verbindungsstelle zwischen den 60er und 70er jahren. the four mints waren eine der einflussreichsten lokalen gruppen ihrer Ära - und mit unterstützung von columbus doyen und capsoul hoflieferanten bill moss - unter den wenigen, die ein full length album veröffentlichten. die liste der gastmusiker liest sich wie das line-up einer midwest supergroup, mit überraschenden auftritten des in indianapolis beheimateten vibraphonisten billy wooten und schlagzeuger bobby allen von den fabulous originals aus dayton, ohio.

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.

he rothmans label combines an unlikely link between football statistics, some of the best (or worst) haircuts to grace the european version of the game, with jacking drums and acid-based rhythmics. the label dedicates its third ep to french striker dominique rochetea, with a various artists ep as strong as the back four of arsenal s 98 fa cup winning side. the nigel winterburn of the release is coyote s without the e , a squelchy and balearic groove with psychedelic vocals not too far off from dj koze mrs bojangles . aimes and scott fraser provide the ep with the composure of tony adams and the brute force of martin keown with their respective synth-led productions the kontemplation of kosmic order and heat for dust , while on the right - a would be lee dixon - drvg cvltvre, supplies the master builder , an ebm and industrious dancefloor workout.

the mysterious lord of italo hooks up with il bosco on the latest hot 4 tracker from red laser. a simple and dark bassline with haunting lasers creates the bubbling imagery of a journey through manchester at night. where are we heading? to the fukin disco mate. how we getting there? in il bosco s 10 year old ford focus with the fat system g. why is the underside all crumpled? cos dj emerald beached it in tib street car park. windows down on a summers night? no, theyre broken. kid machine rocks the quickest shit i ever heard him make with this italo-electro-disco smasher. the title track to a film score that doesnt exist maybe ? this sci-fi thriller gives bass line collectors their monies worth and the beats are seriously heavy, but my favourite thing about this recording is the glittering euphoric interludes that appear twice in the track and make the whole composition complete. his strongest stuff yet. yes yes yes starion returns with another cosmic italo disco bubbler. its the soundtrack to a film set thousands of years in the future about a pimpin robot called night flanger. he makes sure all the fembots undercarriages are maintained and well lubricated when hes on a night out drinking diesel and smoking aluminium too hot to handle. too cold to hold. dirty girl is a boogie electro funk jam from il bosco. a chopped up rare as fuck record. can you find out what it is? probably. if you do and you know how to contact the artist let us know... do not miss!

review: with releases on a who s who list of labels that are pushing experimental, underground house and techno including l.i.e.s, creme organisation, echovolt and strange life, william burnett has been steadily putting out releases that have gained a lot of respect without having to shout too loud about it.

factory floors self-titled debut album is a vivid snapshot of a progressive band, still in the ascendant, smashing through yet another ceiling.

from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts.
whiskey disco #22 features the second ep from b.g. baarregaard, a wonderful producer currently residing in oslo, but who is never too far from the blue lagoons of his home in iceland. b.g. has produced three sublime songs. the sound is an acid freak out of love de-luxe. it grabs and loops, hooks and tugs at your ears, then feet until you, you know. on the flip, the return both promises and delivers a mark morrison had he stayed in miami rather than returning to england. b.g. uses the third song to showcase his own song and instrumental skill in the desire. there is a magic in the air, that keeps us dancing.

cloaked in black, dimly lit and sparkling with dust, warm communications announces umbra volume 1. much in the spirit of adam xs traversable wormhole series, warm is bringing you a collection of anonymous releases that remind to remember drum and bass at its true heart: cracking snares, kick drums hitting your chest, subtle pads playing in an offcentered unison over 808 tones drowning distant thunder. these are the tunes you hear in a mix and say, who was that? the tunes that have made you wake up the next morning and type *id?* in the comments page. the tunes that do not even need to be named. warm communications umbra is truly about the art.
umbra volume 1 is a two-track ep that evokes omni trio and saw-era aphex twin, rumbling sine-heavy bass under ringing melody, computed chords and clean, crisp drums. this is a collectable, limited-edition series labeled appropriately with secretive sewer-grate artwork. umbra volume 1 is lurking there, underground, looking up through the shadows. it is up to you to find out just who is waiting there.

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.

sams ep boots off with *chocolate*, a track that builds and builds using detuned synths, stabs and funky drums to make any dance floor erupt. on the flip *daegon* uses dubbed out drums to incorporate a synth melody line that will blow your socks off and rounds off this well shaped ep

dva comes with a four tracker, including a dj rashad remix, which works really expressively within a tight format of stabbing melodies and swirling psychedelic atmosphere.

*** only 1 copy per customer!!***
fresh from inaugurating his new wildheart imprint with a killer collaboration with tony allen, cult motor city producer theo parrish (sound signature / 3 chairs) maintains the languorous, dreamy vibe of malas original but opens out the groove, allowing the south londoners warm sub-bass to flex its muscle. the bass weight is tempered by deep, mantric keys, the soft choral vocals of sexto sentido, and dreisers spiritual incantations

dfa is proud to announce a new split single featuring both the juan maclean and shit robot. the single highlights the warped and wonky piano house both acts have become famous for. the juan maclean track features long time vocalist nancy whang (also of lcd soundsystem), who helps deliver yet another wildly catchy dance floor anthem, in line with prior collaborative successes “happy house” and “you are my destiny.” shit robot brings in famed stand up comedian (and closet soul vocalist) reggie watts whose incredible voice glides from falsetto to baritone in a single verse. the combination of the deep bass lines, wild voice and piano stabs weaving in and out make this one of the strongest and unique singles in the shit robot catalog. both shit robot & the juan maclean have full length albums due in 2014 on dfa records. limited to 500 stamped and numbered copies, includes digital download code.

gravious (real name alastair jackson) is a dubstep and electronic music producer based in glasgow. his early releases came via the hotflush label, and its scuba sub-label. more recent releases have come through highpoint lowlife, davey jones, saigon and broken bubble. now gravious offers halocyan his most ambitious work to date, the *rolling thunder ep*. the eps title track begins with glassy, plinking synths that segway into a rollicking, stuttering beat. pitched up vocals lend a 90s throwback vibe to this fun, uplifting number. hotly tipped new york producer octo octa (100% silk) cools down the original with loads of house flavor and his own pristine melodies. on the b-side, *release*, is a towering, glacial epic pushed along by a lurching, pulsating bassline and sensual, shifting vocals. closing out the record is *sulaco squares*, a taut, careful arrangement packed to the brim with colorful melodies and arpeggios.
