fresh new label project by venetian disco head bottin who needs no further introduction! after releases on eskimo, italians do it better, bear funk etc he has now decided to run his own business and press this new production on this psychedelic-looking piece of orange plastic. lust is definitely a hard throbbing and sweaty space disco house track with a hint of deranged prog madness. layers and layers of synths and bass lines build up in a long enthralling foreplay until heavy disco beats violently kick in, finally add spicy disco stabs and you have got yourself an incendiary tool sure to set things on fire. dont sleep on this one! crazy black plattered, orange glowing vinyl.

above machine is a record label run by steve lee (the project club). seconds is the alter ego of markus enochson and luciano leiva. together with singer linus lutthi they deliver >another day< which is a breezy, balearic affair with the solemn moodiness of nick drake. it is reminiscent of late end-of-summer days when time seems to stand still, but in the most bittersweet of ways. remixes are provided by lexx - who once again adds that subtle disco blend whilst drinking an estrella at the beach bar. the seahawks dive deep and provide an ambient masterpiece, which lures you deeper into their crazy world of delays, reverb and a studer a80 running backwards in a shoreditch broom cupboard.

owain k from wales is starting his new deeper techno and hi-tech soul project ktrl on 200 records. title track a1 >colonius< brings together brash filtered rhythms, towering chords, haunting melodies and pumping bass - a jam of epic proportions. followed by the smooth chords of >aufstieg< on a2, this deeply soul fuelled ride sweeps you to the next level. inspired by the classic sounds of lil louis, flipside b1 >bützchen< pays homage to a true school master with its warm embrace and layered melodies. finishing off in style, the old school vibes of b2 >offen< makes way for a slow bass driven groove that builds through dub influenced synth washes and filtered sweeps

pressed on 180gr vinyl... phonica records inaugurate a new series of releases that will fall under the special editions banner. a series that will feature collaborations, one-off releases and anything that doesnt fit into the main labels outlook. the first release comes from sinkane, a hotly tipped new artist from ny. sinkane is the project of sudanese-born musician ahmed gallab. gallab cut his own teeth as a youngster in the punk diy landscape of middle america, and then found himself touring far and wide as a member of yeasayer, caribou, eleanor friedberger, born ruffians, and of montreal. he has emerged from it all as sinkane, a project that identifies a renaissance within the space and spirit of the outposts of contemporary music. with an aesthetic range seamlessly shifting from soul to rock, and from jazz to pop, sinkanes vibe is timeless and the sound is now. runnin is a song taken from a collection of songs simply titled mars. on this limited edition 12 from londons phonica records, the album version of runnin is re-imagined as an increasingly dense longburn club jam by daphni (dan snaith of caribou fame) and as a more angular headjam by chandeliers of chicago

big with:ernesto ferreyra, the mole, akufen, vincent lemeuix.. inspired by classic disco and electro, dkmd have already produced several dance music tracks, using old and new technology in order to come up with a unique sound which pays homage to their predecessors without sounding pastiche. echoes of giorgio moroder and donna summer can be felt throughout on the other side, while the playful and sensual taxi cab recounts the familiar story of an early morning phone call received by a girl in a cab, on her way home from a pleasurable night out. perhaps it is their experience playing together as improvisers that adds a special touch to their dance music,as they have grown accustomed to perform almost every element in their tracks using hardware intruments and effect boxes.in addition to their disco project,the two have a considerable track record as experimentalists and the dark,cosmic and mysterious androide is a good example of some of their output in the genre.even though dkmd are only at the beginning of their dancefloor adventures,they show no signs of stopping,and when asked what comes next,they will likely answer

may 2012 sees the 8th release on krd, picking right up where the label was at with its last release a year ago. >bilal / spider< introduces the new project on land, a solo vehicle for label head edoardo arengi, who previously was in charge of production duties of the shadow sync releases. the title cut >bilal< again attests to edoardos technicall skills - almost twenty years of production experience do indeed show here. a strong minimalistic groove unerringly aims at the heart of the dance floor, and once the classic ride cymbal comes in, >bilal” is sure to have the people moving. for the flip, label owner and producer edoardo arengi teams up with a young gun of berlins techno scene. >spider<, produced together with rudmatis, to his dj-peers known as rødhåd of the dytopian music collective, goes for the darker end of the floor with a hypnotic bassline and slowly modulated sequencer lines. once you are caught in the net, there is no way out!

tabernacle is more than a release, we just feeling it as a religious idolatry, and religion is music or better club music. if the club we mind is belonging to past or future it doesn’t matter, what we know is that it seems not belonging to present cause present seems not to exist anymore: we are all enmeshed in an immediate availabilty of what has been, we are all trapped in a geography of eternal availabilty”.

label like soma records, universal, get physical and also highgrade, all contribute to the impressive credentials of the spaniard, prompts breathtaking live sets and releases. but prompt, himself the founder of his own label 7noise, is never one to rest on his laurels: instead he continues to push boundaries with his new live project: the prompt live band, a fusion of electronic sound production and jazz. this is not the first such step for the clasically trained musician, with his onuba project he has already mixed the flamenco sound of home country with electronic music. the three tracks to be released on highgrade records, created in collaboration with the chop suey quartet, bring to life what would appear to be almost impossible: a real connection between the highly concentrated nature of electronic rhythms and the loose and improvised sounds of jazz instrumentation. the result is a very special kind of studio jam session: victor tarín on piano, david blanco on bass, daniel del val on the drums - and prompt on a computer! with so much pasion for musical innovation on show, its no wonder that highgrade co-boss todd bodine wanted to get his fingers into the pie and deliver his own remix for the ep

following a busy year of stylistically varied releases under various guises on his own magic + dreams label, ralph cumbers delivers his first long-player for punch drunk. with a title lifted from the lysergic prose of a brian aldiss novel and grooves informed by the loopier, more martian aspects of chi-town jack and detroit techno-soul, >reeling skullways< marks a subtle, but highly alluring development in the evolution of cumbers primary recording project. long-term bass clef fans may be surprised by the lack of samples on this album, and in many ways it follows a similar creative process to his recent work as some truths, with most rhythms and textures sculpted from the raw, elemental waveforms of modular analogue synthesis. but with tighter editing, contagious melodies and perfectly positioned drum patterns, the end results reveal bass clef simultaneously at his most stripped-back, focused, playful, complicated, emotional and irresistibly groovy. unfettered by fashionable production tricks, imbued with a timeless machine-soul heart, >reeling skullways< is one of those albums you will be reaching for again and again.

2012 marks the spot for the return of the most applauded, the most respected and simply the loudest bass music record label in the world, valve recordings. captained by two of the most revered producers in the game, dillinja and k-aze (lemonde’s all-new multi-genre production project pseudonym), the valve has set a course for global domination once more as they get ready a whole host of beats from the full spectrum of electronic music. d&b, dubstep, grime, garage, house, footwork … its a new era for valve recordings, be warned, bars will be raised!

art reform– being newly invented, this expression has already come in view of the people who arent indifferent to electronic music.

the evidence to which is the release from the main project ideologist, kiev resident joss. well-known for his devotion to vinyl and club rhythms joss has fully embodied himself in his debut plate artreform.

catalogue number ten at uncanny valley and for this occasion the dresden based label returns to its roots with another various artists ep. actually, this is long overdue since there are a lot more talented producers to find in the elbe valley. on uncanny valley 010 we present four of them. sandrow m who focussed on the c-beams project recently has been part of the label right from the start. with “the three trees” he makes his solo debut for uncanny valley. the track is a summery house tune that shines with garage vocals and warm synth pads. steve kasper is slowing it down with unvexed dub which is an immersed house excursion for the morning hours. on the flipside scherbes kill bills stumbles but does not fall. instead, the track lives from tottering interaction between bright percussions and fractious drones below. finally, its jacob stoy who closes the record with s51, a dreamy deep house study including heavenly pads and subtle drum programming. for the artwork we are very glad to welcome back paul waak and his colourful figures that gave the first four compilations their unique look!
