vinyl only release !! limited to 300 copies... after the previous four compilation releases, merkurs founder shingo suwa now announces his own ep. as first track never leave me / original mix is a smooth house track, which combines synthetic riffs and chords with a solid bass line. hm dub is a remix by house mannequin, this remix contains some of the vintage chicago style beat, including filtered pads with dubbed samples. it is an incessant groove of a mellow and simple dub edit. side b inhaled deeply / original is a profound production by shingo, created with a deep and raw groove. wild rhythms assist the techno flavor here as well. sei katsu acid mix was created by the mysterious newcomer sei katsu from miyazaki. this remix is a repetitive trip through hypnotic, sweeping synthesized lines and tricky drumming. its kind of a dj tool that is functional on the dance floor

the second of two eps from talented californian newcomer, tyler friedman, has now arrived. a night in the woods ep starts of as a murky rhythmic experiment. when released of its bound, it transforms into a hailstorm of sound that builds in melodic intensity towards a final climax. this is scenic and brave electronic dancemusic that over and over again will capture the focused listener. on the b-side rivet for sure push tyler towards berghain. but now the tool is somewhat different. rivet transforms the cinematic original into a very dirty and dry party stomper.

emerging from the endless summers of venice, ca to teaming up with shlohmo, jonwayne, d33j, rl grime and more to form the wedidit crew, jasper patterson aka groundislava has transformed from bashful video gamer to full-fledged composer. the son of michael patterson (who directed a-has standout music video >take on me< and paula abduls >opposites attract<), groundislava has roots that draw from 80s nostalgia, tv and pop culture that grow and transform into the 21st century aesthetic of electronic music.

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

dope me / does caroline know? is a slightly clubbier affair-less sun ra and more soul capsule-but still possesses the air of strangeness that makes the duo so unique. each artist leaves his mark within the first few measure of dope me. the steady high-hats and flawless kick drum are straight out of dazes playbook, while the nervous piano and 3 chairs-style claps are unmistakably bruno. as for the slurred vocal pleading >dope me..dope me<, thats anyones guess. the track carries on for a solid nine minutes as half-melodies and quasi-hooks slide in and out of the mix. the b-side, does caroline know?, takes us deeper and darker. the drums are plodding, the mood is ominous, and a series of dreamlike flourishes add to an already eerie groove. like the a-side, its a surrealistic style of house that only these two could deliver. the artwork, as usual, is done by daze maxim.

fantastic vinyl reissue of hot chocolates most outstanding 1970s club classics selected for their incredible energy and floor-filling capabilities. essential ep for any self-respecting party record box!

foam fangs could be a term used to describe silks preferred take on that too-easily dismissed 70s dancefloor dementia of disco – the soft bite, love nibble, mirrorball on steady/ready perma-revolve. jesse reiner (jonas reinhardts first mister, alongside past/part-time collaborators like phil manley of trans am and damon palermo of mi ami/magic touch), who never quite had the kranky krinkle of his ohm-ambient labelmates, travels head-on, tomorrowland-style, through long-form cosmic moroder constellations of >foam fangs<. nothing frothy about it, though there is a bit of the rubbery in reiner’s bounce-about, cool, funky kraut-disco. suddenly we are beaming back to a time when the world looked forward, envisioning a 21st century decked with silver, chrome, and neoprene. it is a sonic space both transparent and shiny, the metallic ding and cold ribbon of data, scrolling through infinite space. the opener, >foam fangs<, transports us instantly into an ever-expanding universe of sound and light at once fanning out and folding in on itself. variations on that theme continue as the jonas journey oscillates through the beat-beyond.

ripperton & agnes are friends, very good friends, close friends. theyve simply striked again at something timeless, like their still remembered 1st collaboration, tchang beers, back in 2007. you can expect lush grooves, building up experienced house music along their superb and yet distinctive production style. groove and dedication are keys toward everything the two are musically crafting.this is vinyl exclusive until the last record is sold!

butane continues to push his sound well beyond the frontiers of trendy dance music with >we are all cyborgs now<, his latest tour-de-force on his own alphahouse records imprint. apparently not interested in assimilation for the sake of popularity, he rather blazes his own wide-cut path towards artistry with two future-techno cuts rife with pointed commentary on the nature of todays dance music scene. >everybodys talkin< is a mutant hybrid of styles for the nostalgic types. latin percussion and bin-busting bass mingle with an ethereal voice lamenting the passing of the good old days. throw in one utterly twisted xylophone note that might just send a few partygoers over the edge for good, and you have an open air after-hours anthem in the making. >hey hipster< is a not-so-subtle jab at the newjack hipsters of the dance world who seem content to recycle old ideas, as long as they think they look cool doing it. deceptively simple, but carrying a heavy hook, the track features a grooving bassline, speaker busting synth stabs, and a brooding male voice admonishing these party parasites for their shallow ways. listen up kids, this is the sound of the underground. dont be fooled, this kind of music is best heard in big dark clubs where mirrors arent there for checking out your trendy haircut.

joyce muniz is a vienna-based, brazilian dj, vocalist and producer. muniz was introduced to us by maya jane coles and we are proud to increase our female talent at the label. joyce is currently one of the leaders of a new style which fuses european club sounds with rhythmic influences from south america and the caribbean. she has collaborated with stereotyp, louie austen and munk, and her solo outings for exploited have been getting rave reviews

rugged/troubles is a double a that lives up to its name in every way. if we wrote cliched press releases we would say the release >does what it says on the tin< but getdarker dont deal in hackneyed, meaningless sayings, we deal in undiluted, speaker-banging platters. and they dont bang much harder than this pair of purist party-starters. troubles follows. in more ways than one.

uk producer jason courtney aka simplicity is beauty makes his long awaited heavy reel debut in real style with this atomic bomb of an ep. from the low slung driving bass of title track >i am colossus< to the more stripped back sounds of >the obelisk<, its an ep that crosses genres & straddles the fine line between electro & techno. we are sure it will find a home at most parties.
