the autoscooter gang is back with a cool tech-house ep. the tracks are made for the dancefloor with great remixes by arts & leni and remcord.

as festival season goes on forever, so can the models four tracks. these heavy hitting floor stompers are pretty much the differece between slow-burners and longplay tracks.

rnt and lovebirds, together at last, with a 12 inch ep that oozes summer from every groove! on the a side, the familiar erotic boogie grooves of funk so pretty tickle you in the purple place. on the flip, free sculpts an overlooked 80s jazz pop tune into a shimmering shuffling world beat masterpiece, and then we get down n dirty once again with donwanchooback. cop it and rock it. as ever its pressed on 180 g vinyl and hand stamped label

with mind sets, clr artist rebekah is introducing a new format on the imprint, consisting of an hour and a half mix and two subsequent ep samplers for release. while the eps in the series contain pretty straightforward techno tracks by artists she admires, the compilation mix from the prolific dj/producer known for her thunderous and relentless techno beats shows a more experimental side of her musical spectrum

limited edition vinyl - cyan & yellow haze.
one of las smartest young voices says the la times…which the artist suspects, may just be a covert way of saying la is dumb. “open” mike eagle wouldnt terribly mind, being born and raised in chicago where the painful winters and his uppity grandparents kept him inside as a youth. he spent his formative years watching alternative music happen on mtv and hoping to one day be able to audition for the native tongues. as a young adult after graduating with a degree in psychology, he did the next best thing and moved to los angeles, joining the project blowed collective where he made music and toured with busdriver, aceyalone, abstract, nocando, and more. he has also gained notoriety in the world of comedy by being invited by professional funny people (paul f. tompkins, hannibal buress, matt besser/ucb) to rap at their shows. he would like to be raps kurt vonnegut but recognizes that he would first have to create something as iconic as the four-stroke illustration of an anus. he practices by releasing rap albums that delight, entertain, and confuse.

liverpool-based producer bantam lions has long been part of the scenery records family, helping label boss asok launch the imprint with 2012s one to one ep. here he returns with his third 12 inch for the label. lead cut *recollections* is particularly good, delivering a deep and attractive fusion of fuzzy analogue warm, dreamy melodies and intoxicating chords. he ups the tempo further on *many years later*. which layers dubbed-out chords and swirling textures over an energy-packed techno groove. the accompanying remixes are pretty tasty, too, with the cyclist particularly impressing with his detroit techno-goes-lo-fi interpretation of *recollections*. that said, the dreamy, new age-influenced downtempo take from mood hut regular cloudface is pretty darn good, too.

last year accidental records released herbert complete, a 130- track boxset featuring herberts entire extensive back catalogue. it included rare and unreleased tracks from the mid 90s right up to the critically acclaimed bodily functions and scale albums. though this might have felt like the closing of the doors for matthew herberts house moniker, particularly with the ever forward-thinking producer having moved onto making music out of an exploding bomb, a shopping list, a club and even a pig, this thankfully is not the end for this side of the prolific composers output. following last months release of the 4-track ep part 6 comes the unsurprisingly titled part 7.

after having their edits ep being played all over the place, politics of dancing strikes again with two killer tracks and some pretty hot remixes from up and coming house wonders, môme & julien sandre. this is acid, chicago nineties deep house, and you dont want to miss it! as usual, limited 300 copies, hand stamped with love.

with only their debut 12 inch on the newly formed magic jams imprint, snacks are already killing it. these guys are going to be big! imagine bernard pretty purdie, dizzy gillespie and blaze got stuck in a studio and you get an idea what this berlin based live duo sounds like. in complex arrangements they create funky state-of-the-art house music, in a class all its own.

z records are back with vol 7 in the attd series: a1 yes, another killer cut on zr. zo!s gorgeous soul tune featuring eric roberson and phonte gets subtly housed up mix by dave lee. a record you will be hearing all summer at more musically inclined parties across the world. a2 jakattas house classic american dream gets a very cool bassline driven remix from andre crom & chi thanh… b1 new and unreleased…. b2 akabu feat. alex mills *everybody wants something* was an enormous tune for many in 2013 and is still getting played by big name djs in bustling nightclubs around the world. now we give you an off the chain/on point/un-believable remix from rhemi. we are not going to describe the nuances of the remix and highlight why the aforementioned big name djs like dropping the track in their sets at cool clubs/festivals/corporate events but its pretty bloody good…

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!

in times where a rave feels pretty much like a funfair, the chairoplane is still the nicest ride. thinking of kettenkarussell some might remember one of those gathered moments in a low summer night under the clear sky when things made sense for a while. but those memories fade away quite fast or seem really strange a few years later on youtube. so what is it that is left behind? after 10 years of collaboration the couple decided to do an album that might challenge the comfort zone of those who try to keep up that easy living. its a record full of holes. and still this is what keeps them together. in pain we trust... and yes i believe you and me will make love forever...

good old aunt frieda likes it colorful, that’s pretty known in all parts of the world since the birth of frieda musik. and even our new children of the family are the same kind of colorful: frivolous is painting in all different colors without wasting any paint. his two originals are pushing with forward-thinking rhythms without forgetting how to get his audience into dreaming through his golden voice and his playful melodies. a very special schmankerl is his lullaby. a little more precise and determined comes dirty doering and sascha cawa’s upside down remix of “for the message” within this package. and not to forget there’s a digital bonus by our boys san marco & don ramon, who tell us: don’t stop mumble, if you wanna get this kind of (zurich)-groove. in our opinion: a perfect ep for endless summer nights.

shtum strikes back with another fresh talent straight from leipzigs basements. with only two releases so far, leibniz sound is already pretty...

lp in gatefold sleeve + large poster and cd included

the new lana del rey album as deluxe double vinyl with 3 bonus tracks. comes in gatefold sleeve

scottish born and currently berlin based dj/producer danny berman (aka red rack em/hot coins) has had a pretty hectic last few years and show no signs of slowing down. following the anthemic releases on wolf music & city fly red. he is now ready for his telefonplan debut.
*i got something* and *make your mind up* are both dark tracks with punchy basslines that hit deeeeep, pitched-down vocals and plenty of bounce to move any crowd. the surprise is *jan 11 hip hop*. get ready for carefully constructed next-level effective drum programming from mr berman, and a perfectly balanced third course!

these guys..pretty mysterious but that’s not the appeal. super diverse stylistically, but thats not it either! they just got it. dope as fuck production unit, and we are sure you will be hearing a lot from them in the future. tip!

lobster theremin launch their black label series with a huge three-tracker from manse (opal tapes/resin). warehouse techno, dusty ambient and crushing industrial.. plunges the depths on one side whilst pretty much flamethrowering the rulebook on the flip. shed-meets-trade-meets-oake vibe.. a devastating release!

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

180gr lp in sleeve (spine 5mm) + plastic sleeve with flap. cd included. after nearly three years since the release of their universally acclaimed 2011 album ritual union, little dragon return with their highly anticipated fourth album, the futuristic sounding nabuma rubberband, via their new label because music (justice, metronomy, django django, major lazer).

adventurous electro project 2 years in the making featuring works from ian martin, shemale, federico leocata, das muster, obergman, koova, linear synthesis (new project from kobol electronics and heinrich dressel), dmx krew, elec pt.1 and dj stingray. think kraftwerk, drexciya, dopplereffekt and bunker-style dark basement vibes all rolled into one neatly presented package and that’s pretty much what is on offer here. a fine selection of tracks which successfully presents fresh sounds by tried-and-tested names, while simultaneously introducing upcoming and arguably lesser known, but by no means any less talented artists. thoroughly essential for all electro fans out there. limited edition vinyl pressing

weve complied two blackman and maurice joshua productions for the fourth house of trax 12inch. its a bit of a dirty one... to say the least. althought more polictically incorrect then a dutch politician, these humourous trax will set fire to the speakers for the right reasons too. the little known blackman had a 1993 release with >beat that bitch with a bat<, a song which later got popularized by johnny dangerous. the original 12inch got pressed up in small quantities and is available for the first time in 17 years. on the flip theres both the vocal and instrumental version of maurice joshuas (with hot hula hands) >i got a big dick<, which originally came out in 1988, as the a-side of his more known >this is acid<. both tracks are pretty rare these days and will still go down a storm on the dancefloor.

vin sol & matrixxman return with their second double-header of remixes of one of the most distinctive voices in modern music, revisiting two of the hallowed songstress classics from the 80s. first up is the beautiful *never thought* which has been given the remix treatment many times before due to the accapella being on the original 12 inch. here vs & m add early 90s house flourishes - warm pads, deep chords and the original vocal seeping in and out of the mix, whilst elements slowly start to build up for what is a pretty ecstatic house rework of a classic. simple and effective. fans of innervisions wont be disappointed! on the flip, *love is stronger* is a mellower take on one of her signature hits. sticking to a cool 110 bpm tempo, it has got a bubbly, woozy late sunday afternoon vibe emanating from the first 4 bars. another solid rework from the vin sol & matrixxman camp!

with *closer* masterton debuts on blackfoxmusics 19th release (bfm019). *closer* is a warm track with a deep groove and beautiful melodies. it relates to living in a long distance relationship and overcoming a lack of proximity.
robert babicz (babiczstyle, systematic, bedrock records) created an incredible remix. he used lots of the original melodies, combined them with new elements, added rolling drums and a thick bassline to give the track the extra drive. his remix became a constant part of his live sets and was debuted with great response at grelle forelle (vienna) and ritter butzke (berlin).
channel x (stil vor talent) remixed *closer* into a pretty cool and clubby deep house track. you can feel their berlin origin when listening to the groovy bassline with variations of the melody. finally the breaks capture the mood of the dissonant sounds from the original track.

extra-raw dj tool ep from delroy edwards. manufactured in east los angeles, ca. * the pretty-eared among you better watch out* .. very limited...

re issue of romanthonys incredibly rare warning tracks on black male from 1999. remastered for 2014 and released in original artwork. re issued in conjunction with the rights holders

oh yes, this a heavyweight bad boy on gamm from french beatmaker/producer izem. after his extensive travels around the globe the sound on the ep is influenced by africa, cuba as well as the middle east.
itt is an electronic take on a classic fela joint, celia (cruz) goes along a similar route but on the latin tip. both are pretty nasty and a near perfect marriage between futuristic productions and raw retro samples. finishing off the ep we get served a slice of arabic boogie using hipnotics hard to find boogie gem *are you lonely* and some fierce middle eastern vocals.

vinyl only - played already by moodymann !!!!!!!!
once again showing their appreciation for forward-thinking music and supporting think-outside-the-box sounds, the latest ep on hold youth opens up the boundaries of electronic music and offers something more. the opening track sample n 909 has been injected with pure funk and sets the scene for the rest of the release, which maintains that groove throughout. well selected vocals can be found in the soulful harmonising of those voices or the smooth-speaking that makes rainbow slices the most mellow of the package. ending the b side with no more pretty, a joint stripped down to essential kick and high hats, you can feel the full strength of the funk once again as the jazzy keys enter… s3a is a breakthrough dj/producer from paris and resident of the illustrious concrete parties.

rising london duo, mounter and mifi, kick start their 2014 campaign with a release on save you records, and this, their debut ep on losing suki

written & produced by christopher ernst,mixed by stefan goldmann new yorks l estasi dell oro has become quite a phenomenon on the vinyl underground through his releases for voodoo down & his own flaneur audio imprint. the principles of what exactly makes his tracks pretty irresistible are brought to ultimate focus in iscariotic lips / reverse & repair: multiple layers of noisy bits, shuffling time signatures around until you lose all orientation. 5 over 4 over 3 bend your mind in several directions all at once

collaborations are often the fortune of timing. with andy having moved on since closing the dissident label to launching his cave paintings project to tim s departure from battant and striking out as andrew weatheralls engineer and soon to be co-member of the asphodells, an alliance was born between the two to undertake a series of live jam sessions at eachs respective studios. a love of new wave, new beat, uk bleep and detroit techno all feature in b-ultras and the aptly titled, neu beat. both cuts are heavily soaked in the pitch black, smoke machine funk and strob-laden fug of andys (and co-hort joe hart) infamous world unknown dancefloor. running at around 10 minutes the tracks are essentially an examination of acid houses ideals. clattering hats, throbbing basslines, stabbing keys and doses of 303. keeping it pretty simple but all about a pure groove on and on. backing these up is a remix of b-ultras from jamie paton that accentuates the groove and drags the acid deeper down to some b-boy dub throwdown - with more to follow from all protagonists in 2014.

after some sort of slumber, shabu recordings is proud to present its new series: sharmx. sharmx is pretty self-explanatory: these eps will be a retrospective that breathes new life into tracks from previous releases. these born-again tracks are then presented under a new form that is dictated by another party, not previously involved in any creative process of the affiliated release. the word shabu being japanese for splash, this leads us to our first installment in the series: splash splash vol.1

pretty cool edits of two monster hits. dancefloor anthems for crowds worldwide. the a side is a more positive jam whilst on the b side we find a growing dancefloor beast. definitely a smashing record.

in the long line of belgian talent finding a home on wph (think san soda, lemakuhlar, metrobox, locked groove, …) we are pretty sure that kiani & his legion (aka thomas neyens) will claim his rightful place within a couple releases. because just like the other family members kiani has his very own distinct sound. totally kiani and also totally wph. kiani & his legion should have already caught your attention with his free *records & culture* vinyl in wphs v.i.p. series and he was also responsible for *legions of the east* on the recent wph summer special 2013. being a vinyl lover himself it seemed fitting that we release his full e.p. debut on vinyl only (grey coloured & marbled), containing four tracks that will show you the full spectrum of his house music universe. the key words in that universe are melody, breakdowns, surprise and emotion. it is pointless to describe the tracks one by one, simply listen, enjoy and most of all…dance!

the founders of >pfand<, hali and yapacc, met each other in berlin and torontos nightclub circuit. they created the synonym >act natural< and debuted four tracks which describe the actual vibe and feel of berlins club culture. beside the purely minimal percussive tracks (pretty good & action - words), they created a vocal-based hymn, >berlin is killing me<, that perfectly expresses the mood after a long party weekend. for >revenge or insanity<, they invited julie marghilano to give the right punch in combination with a bumpy bassline that kicks you in your ass.

late night tales and bonobo were pretty much made for each other, it just took them a while to both realise it. stepping forward into the compiler’s spotlight for the 33rd edition is simon green – aka bonobo – a musician, producer and dj perfectly suited to soundtrack an evening spent reclining to some parallel beats.
heavyweight 180 gram double vinyl plus 12x12 inch print of the cover art and download code for the mixed and unmixed tracks.

hvnxx is one of the most special projects weve taken part in as a label. some months ago the xx and young turks asked our artists to remix tracks from coexist. it was a big honour and also a big responsi- bility, specially considering that the xx is one of our favourite bands. the outcome of such challenge is a four-track ep that showcases the sound of both well-established members of the hivern family, such as marc pinol and new jackson, and upcoming talents such as round and mistakes are ok. all four remixes are pretty different among them, but they all manage to maintain the distinctive spirit of the original songs in their own way. marc pinol takes fiction to the good ol days of chicago house, laying the original vocals on top of analog drum-machines and a rubbery bassline to that suggest an imaginary collaboration between adonis and oliver sim. the elusive mistakes are ok maintains the tropical vibe of reunion but provides a warped atmosphere combining breezy chimes with static haze and a propulsive bass that boosts the song towards the second part of the remix. hiverns latest signee round transforms the fragility of missing into a soothing house cut through uplifting organ chords and vigorous rhythms fulfilling dancefloor demands without loosing its melancholic character. finally, new jackson proves once again his knack with nocturnal ambiences flipping swept away into a sensuous deep-house gem guided by an absorbing piano and a slow but steady groove. the release comes in an embossed sleeve with artwork designed by arnau pi. hvnxx is a co-release with young turks.

from sporting a glimmer of osiac, to chicagoan marching machines, and wandering odes to a desk jockeys long days working the mines, dibu-z aka zuboids newest ep on heraldic sits pretty with me

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.

tom withers aka klute is unlike any other drum & bass producer in the scene today. from his entry into the music business fronting the late 80s punk band the stupids and his early jungle releases on legendary label certificate 18, klute has always set himself apart from the pack never afraid to do things that little bit differently. 15 years in and his story continues as he prepares to unleash a staggering seventh studio album, *the draft*, another accomplished piece of musical ambition from a producer who never fails to disappoint.
comes as red coloured double 12 inch vinyl.

in 2011 when mad mats and tooli went to sonar festival in barcelona they met ludovic llorca aka art of tones outside a club. little did they know back then that two years later on they would release a 12 inch together. the same thing ep opens with the title track and kicks pretty damn sweet with its strong vocal, the guitar, bass and rhodes jamming on top of a tight groove, there is also a dub version included on the b-side. last but not least, the great sgatmi is a jazzy and bumpy house take with lots of samples perfectly balanced. all in all, classic art of tones material and the work of a producer firing on all cylinders.

dutch breakcore/jungle legend fff recently joined the prspct family and his first release on our rvlt imprint rocks pretty damn hard! 6 tracks of epic nostalgic proportion taking you back to the good old amen days. jungle, breakcore, dark dnb, rave and even some oldschool gabber vibes. this ep has it all!

i first met leon vynehall in berlin before a gig at the amazing about_blank. we had a fun conversation and he played a really good set that night. much later i realized i had been playing one of his tracks (total s) for ages! we stayed in touch and i asked if i could hear some of his new music. he sent me five tracks and i signed four, that is a pretty good score if you ask me! smart and conscious about his music and his output, i think this ep is really only the beginning for leon vynehall. i am glad i am able to give it a platform and share these amazing tracks with you. also special props to d&m for doing a great mastering job on these. - martyn

future ghetto output by mr. corcos quite french filtered bangalter inflected house inspired, but remoderned into a fresh & organic production: buzzing synths, rotative pannings, high pressurizedpumping sound, with a pretty unique esthetic and powerful result.on the a side you have the vocal ironic version of *reliable & immature*, and the instrumental extremized immatool version for quicker djs. on the b side two special revisitations neverless than detroits last man standing & soundvisionary gari romalis. totally in the spirit of the original both garis versions are fresh & bouncy, raw and driving. be childish on this one!

untolds pennyroyal imprint drops its fourth release in august, a four track ep from techno heavyweights ben sims and paul macs fokus group project entitled fokus group ep. started by the hemlock recordings man earlier in 2013, pennyroyal has so far released ballsy, uncompromising modern techno by j tijn and boner m and that musical remit continues with sims and macs hardcore fuelled, selftitled assault. nut nut, mucky crack funk, 93.2 and rave x3 = murder and the titles and they pretty much speak for themselves – there is a reckless abandon across all four cuts that musically gives off a distinct old school feel feel without getting bogged down in self conscious retro aesthetics.

double 12 inch vinyl plus free download code.
hailing from yorkshire, but now based in london, bobby krlic, the multi-instrumentalist behind the haxan cloak released an incredible self titled debut album on aurora borealis in 2011, a record that blew away pretty much everyone who happened to hear it. fusing a rare talent for classical composition with a passion for exploring serrated electronic, drone textures, the haxan cloak’s cinematic, complex sound is not an easy one to fully explain in words alone.

the groundbreaking verve remixed series is back with verve remixed: the first ladies, set for release july 16th on verve records. the all female compilation features 13 classic jazz tracks remixed by some of todays most acclaimed djs and producers. billboard has called verve remixed “one of the most successful brands in dance/electronic music” and it is considered by many to be the best remixed series of all time.
