harry agius has been making waves as midland since 2010, releasing a series of increasingly impressive 12”s as a solo artist but also collaborating with the likes of ramadanman (pearson sound), breach and pariah on labels such as aus music, naked naked, works the long nights and his own graded imprint. he is also a prolific remixer who has lent his talents to artists such as lone, guy gerber, julio bashmore, dusky and more. we can proudly say he came to many people’s attention via his first phonica 12” ‘play the game’ back in 2010 and he has remained a friend and regular at the shop ever since. midland’s well deserved rise has been a delight to watch from the sidelines and we’re glad to welcome harry back to phonica with the fantastic ‘before we leave’. it starts slowly but surely as reverb soaked percussion comes to the fore, cushioned by the truly beautiful string melody, which we’re sure will be stuck in many a head this year! this could well be midland’s most deftly handled arrangement yet. running back’s gerd janson wisely decides to stick to the original track’s feel, letting the strings weave their magic, yet also brings the bassline and drums to the forefront. delicately but expertly done. midland rounds out the 12” with his barebones drums and percussion-only ‘bonus beats’ version, perfect dj tool material. we wish more records had these!

underground acid techno label from barcelona with its 3rd release.

first release on vi tva for this upcoming techno producer ink other darker side of young and talented producer from bosnia & hercegovina, azur odobasic. his new ink style is dedicated to an techno sound and frame of mind in regards to underground electronic dance music. we have on this release ink original track with remix support from powerfull techno artist with likes from worldwide djs and techno radio stations. osmicz is up on board with his dark and trippy edit of velocity, indigo children is serving much more groovy and harder techno sounds giving original some more power. forest people is on a remix work here too, he is doing amazing in 2013 and have some pretty amazing stuff upcoming in 2014 so with this guys on board this release is a really must have for all techno fans..stay tuned!

as our true fans know, every now and then we leave our comfort zone to bring something else than techno. this season, we gave dib from italy the honor to be the unusual one. three tracks, three times basic, stripped down house that does well as a tool or a track in the early or deep hours of the night. or just for those people working hard at the office and wanting some deep house during their officework. all tracks have a very old skool vibe to it and breathe true deep house: not the filtered down vocal kind, but the breed that just lets a 909, 808 shine and some rhodes or warm analogue synths do the work. the first one is rather detroitish - with a nice acid stab and some strings setting the mood, the second one is more dance floor oriented and the third version is a bit of both. does it need to be said that dimitri andreas mastered it again? and that it is available on vinyl?

the fifth release on kv records is dedicated to berlin-based producer alex agore who is certainly one of the most talented musicians in the house music business nowadays. this ep reflects the best of what house music can offer when it is about celebrating the underground sounds of the 90s coming from new york. the whole record is here to make you dance, groove & sing: deep chords, warm vocals, infectious rhythms & basslines ... in short, 100% pure house music.

nice price deal !!! man invented the machine and from its circuits music with soul was created. > soul machine< is about rediscovering the creative ritual between man and its machines. the man is helder russo and he will drive you through a futuristic motor city soundtrack with an atlantic feeling. > soul machine< is a kind of techno rebel record, in a sense that its not a product of the industry. its rather the soundtrack for an imaginary society, with soul as the unifying element between men and technology. the type of record that mojo could play in his fabled radio show and make people connect through music. in fact this is very much about connecting. with the machines, with sounds and with each other. its about the endless ritual of creation and the challenge to transcend time and leave an inspirational mark. helder russo did his job, now make sure you appreciate the many hidden layers of this special record.

following their ongoing relationship with soma records, ukrainian duo woo york are set to release their new record that proves to be somewhat representative of recent dramatic events in their country. entitled i am against, both the main track and the ep itself are referring to the developments that lead to revolutionary struggle of the ukrainian people. fighting inequality, saying what you have to say and doing what you have to do seem to be the core ideas of the record. you might have figured that out yourself by spotting a rebel protester from january’s clash with riot police depicted on the record sleeve. the ep also features a special remix from uk techno producer, Ø phase. music-wise the ep presents the same idea: the epic energy of the title track highlights the drive that was fuelling peaceful individuals to go out onto the streets and fight for their rights. an excellent remix from Ø phase follows a similar path, although in its own original way that has made the uk-based artist’s name associated with the finest techno to date. closing the ep ‘in the end’ is a more abstract side of woo york’s music works that reminds us once again: every single act of violence is bound to come to an end at some point.

will to be well is the new studio album by dalhous, their second for blackest ever black. this double-lp reflects writer-producer marc dalls continued interest in the life and arcana of r.d. laing, but also alludes to more universal and enduring mysteries: the relationships between body and mind, illness and wellness, the physical and the metaphysical.

the idea behind lbl is very simple. we keep getting sent music that we really want to own on vinyl, so weve decided to start pressing these tracks ourselves. everything we have scheduled has a club feel, but past that we think youd be hard pushed to pinpoint a specific style which dominates our releases. for our first release we have music from scott fraser (crimes of the future), people get real (join our club), jamie blanco (ess o ess) and joonipah (nixwax). we could list a whole load of meaningless genres to describe the music to you (machine house, neu acid, bashment techno and hi tek soca) but we think its best you just listen and make your own mind up. currently, all lbl releases will be limited to a pressing run of 300 copies

last night ep, the second release by in records, where emiliano ferreyra brings a real beauty that makes you feel this argentinian taste of music. starting with the track *last night* that gives the title to the release, with sketchy and rhythmic percs that makes a good way to open the release. then you find *our walk*, in collaboration with the amazing duo proudly people, special for the first tracks of the night or maybe to enjoy the sunshine of an after party. there comes *oldie*, with his heavy riddim and joined by max j and coockies remix of it making a real deep atmospheric environment.

in the ever-expanding universe of deep house, julius steinhoff is far from being a stranger. half of the dynamic duo smallpeople, founder and one of the steersmen behind hamburgs smallville empire (record store/ label/ party curator around the globe) as well as a producer and dj in his own right, steinhoff is closely associated with a group of like-minded people that unite fresh ideas and individualism with a certain consciousness of tradition.

so far in its fledgling career, the ultra knites label has been populated by collaborations of the same name from the two founders sem marini and mike sharon. this third release sees the pair showcase their talents as solo artists with the first in a series of knite grooves releases, with sharon calling shotgun and manning proceedings on the a side. with a lilting female vocal hook, soft pads and jazzy rhodes touches, -people- is a classicist take on ny house that features some weighty kick drums, whilst -field of dreams- opts for a approach that s more indebted to the likes of mr fingers. marini delivers a peak time bumper in the shape of -voltage- which contrasts nicely with the deep rolling business of final track -music takes me-.

innocent music presents first vinyl release with their best artists in a great various compilation!

live techno-tanzband trio elektro guzzi are set to release their new studio album observatory via berlin based record label macro. from their 2010 s/t debut album and 2011 follow up parquet (hypnotic, near kosmische reverberations - clash) elektro guzzi have taken their man machine live show of bass, guitar, drums around the world, from landmark clubs like fabric and berghain to major festivals roskilde, sonar and mutek.

nelistening back, ‘interlude’ will feel like the perfect opening to ‘skylax’. a jazzy encore crawls in, morphing into a skippy hip-hop instrumental with jason’s signature flourishes all over it. aptly named as it is, this is the breathing space between whatever came before in your day, and the eleven deep house gems that are to follow. speaking of, ‘the love’ will have you gripped from the first bar. it glides the listener in, then subtly drops that signature, tightly-tuned bassline of jason’s and continues onto soulful vocals from there. ‘old dayz’ touches on a bit of a nostalgic note. the spoken vox cuts harken back to 90s hip-hop joints, playing over a looped latin sample-led beat. from there, ‘rawkicks 2’ shows jason’s rough and ready sampling style in action. a seemingly simple track, but one which has that special something which guarantees to keep people on the floor moving for its duration. ‘cut b’ contrasts this nicely, being a much cleaner production with tight drum programming and synth work. that said, it still has the classic jg atmosphere we love. closing out the first half of the album, ‘definition’ slows the pace ever so slightly, with its eternal pad structure that builds up the track’s momentum into something very mellow and deep.bringing in the second half of ‘skylax’, ‘john blue’ takes things back a notch further. a deeper tune, yet one that shows off an uncharacteristically punchy bass hit from jason. ‘last night’ is a track more reminiscent of jason’s first lost cuts ep on wax classic, sounding as if it had been freshly taken off an old tape with its sample-led beat and background hiss. the last four tracks of the album see a return to the ‘mastercuts’ and ‘lovedits’ series which fans will recognize from the ‘lost cuts’ records, with ‘lovedits 7’ and ‘mastercut 5’ respectively. the former is a laid back female vocal edit with the entire suite of signature jg touches while the latter is a garage house hit more crafted for the club. ‘bb’ brings the album to a close, twisting a disco/funksample over a pallet of drums and effects for the near six-minute duration of the track.all in all, this is the perfect follow up to jason’s debut album ‘313.4.ever’, with tracks for both the club and home listening. if you happened to miss the first album back in 2012, don’t forget that now you have the chance to grab it in a special double pack with ‘skylax’ on cd!so, needless to say, this timeless record is a must purchase for all collectors and djs out there

by now, frak needs no formal introduction. lets just say they are the swedish house mafia for people who actually know what house music is. lately, there has been somewhat of a surge in house and techno influenced by synth, ebm and obscure sub-genres that ends with >wave<. so the timing couldnt be better for frak to return to kontra-musik with this remarkable synth and acid flavoured release.

the infamous planet rhythm imprint is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2014. 20 naturally is a landmark-age and shows the label s ongoing persistence and hunger to catch the right beat. over the years many sounds within the techno genre have been showcased on this warm and respected home. coincidentally the label (now situated in rotterdam) just got onto a new a new flock of producers making their way into the crates of respected djs and like minded people wordwide.

morgan tomas is a dj/producer from france, who also runs the label reloading records along with a weekly podcast. in the past years, he has had several releases out on labels such as sleaze, nachtstrom schallplatten, prosthetic pressings and silent steps. he has been supported by great artists who often play his tracks. his music is a deep rooted techno, dark and energetic. with this album, he tried to reflect on several types of techno, using different environments, with a wide range of musical styles.

luckily there werent any of the anticipated refund claims for the first two chapters of >if this is house i want my money back<. so we finally dared to compile number three. the concept of the compilation is pretty simple: we ask friends, pv regulars, and other good looking producers, who are famous for dancing around the edges of the genre, for an exclusive track, all of which we put together on one neat compact disc. this time the bill reaches from hot shot producer mano le tough (who celebrated his permanent vacation debut on vol. 2 of this series), maeve label buddy the drifter, the swedish house mafia in form of house dandy axel boman and edit ramajam hnny, rising star lake people, long time vacationer bostro pesopeo (together with local munich dj san quentin) and sizzling newcomer boska to the jack of all trades willie burns, fellow nyc resident octo octa, berlin-based melody masters kim brown, the neukölln acid kingpins achterbahn d’ amour (aka iron curtis & edit piafra) as well as hotflush and we play house regular locked groove. each and everyone of the participants are more than convincing in what they are doing and although they have different perspectives on the long runner house music, the tracks come together in sweet harmony on this compilation

we are very happy to announce the debut release of berlin house duo manhooker on mule musiq! their release on unterton (sister label of ostgut ton) was one of the best favorite release in the last year. original version is typical early chicago house sound but its more melodius. some people already said about their music that pet shop boys doing house. we like it! they invited three new artists for remix. kresy remix on a2 is easy mixable dub version and probably main remix is mia twin&kasp on b1. its modern deep house remix with their fantastic voice

this first 12 contains new versions from daniel avery (phantasy), who released a striking debut album last year, as well as a string of much-played 12 inch singles. the 12 inch also contains a remix from invisible conga people (dfa), which marks the return of this elusive act, who recorded a fan-fave 12 inch for dfa in 2011, and have not been heard from since.

cgi is proud to present the debut of 2 new duos who are experts at making their synths and sequencers sweat divine moisture. lyman-alpha forest is a new collaborative project between producers grey people (proper trax, finale sessions) and talk (deconstructure). as a duo they work to bring acid into new territories with their heavy, low-slung approach to producing melodic-and-spacious yet tight-and-focused slow-burning club-weapons. whether or not this is due to a stroke of compositional genius or if it is simply a side effect of the high levels of sizzurp found in the tap water in their hometown of nashville is irrelevant, but the effect is intoxicating all the same. travel 7 hours up i-65 and you will end up somewhere in chicago where afterburner spends long cold winter nights painting vivid synthesized tapestries as epic as the citys skyline. the duo of nicholas reed (windbreaker) and travis thatcher (voice of saturn) employ an aresnal of modular and analog gear to produce lushly cinematic tracks that chug along like classic moroder productions while simultaneously evoking the rich melodicism of kraftwerk. whether you listen to them at home in the headphones or on the dancefloor in the club, these tracks will take you on a wild ride.

music is strongly linked to memory, sometimes just a simple note will trigger a deep feeling of nostalgia or emotion. the new homesick series was created by music enthusiasts who are living half a world away from their birthplaces. their concept is a play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless, tracks which feel fresh but retain their memories. for the first release, the homesick team have curated three pieces by drop out orchestra, late nite tuff guy, zimmer, and amadei. doo have carefully reworked -no scrubs- into a warm, bass driven, disco jam suited for the dancefloor, alntg has provided a solid groove theory lesson as only he can, and the ep is rounded-off with a special (double) bonus track for all the people who love 80s-era french pop music, reworked by zimmer and the asia-based newcomer amadei.
