the 4th in tee mangos tribute project, inspired by the much referenced theo parrish quote: love of the music should be the driving force of any producer, performer or dj. everything else stems from that core, that love. with that love, sampling can become a tribute an expansion on ideas long forgotten, reconstruction, collage. time is up is the first track here. arpeggios shimmer and crisp simple drums hiss and fizz along, until introduction of the classic detroitian vocal and one shot filtered rhodes sample. a deftly simple combination of classic ingredients. think 90s inner city meets a dj sprinkles era motor city drum ensemble.

heady and spaced out seductive techno by j.c. aka jose cabrera who made a storming debut with his fine album on fred ps soul people music some time ago and released on labels such as tresor, deeply rooted, symbolism. now he is launching his own new label, cabrera. starting with his personal project, but with releases in the pipeline by tadeo and population one. this 1st release that includes a strong remix by jonas kopp will be the starting point of an adventurous fresh new techno label that is promissing to reach for the dark corners of the dancefloors! a rich and varied ep that launches the new cabrera label in a great manner

nicola ratti holds a rich history in the world of experimental and minimalist composition, having released music under his own name on labels such as kning disk, anticipate, preservation, holidays, and senufo editions and in recent times concentrating his energy into his collaborative project ‘bellows’, work which has seen the light thanks to entr’acte records and most recently boomkat editions. his latest solo work ‘pressure loss’ finds ratti at a potential turning point in his musical career, exploring rhythm and tonality with a new vigour, in a way which embraces the fluid and consistently evolving modern world of electronic music, yet still references a history of electronics, limiting his sound palette to work only using the serge and arp modular synthesizer.

unequal is a label founded by anselm from frankfurt am main in 2015. ranging from deep, spaced out analog techno to more droning, industrial rough sounds, the aim is to give an impression of whats going on in the ffm underground these days. sophisticated broken beats and modular synths are essential for this project. unequal means not to be just one specified style but an open-minded platform to express a diverse view of music within the techno genre. with his first ep called -gral-, anselm delivers some cold, moody techno tracks with spherical soundscapes as an connecting element. the title track on the a side is a journey through wide open extramundane synth layers and bubbling acid drops covered by a voluminous bass. b1 is a bit more conventional one with driving hi-hats and slightly jacking beat whereas b2 is four-to-the-floor trippy stripped-down minimalism for the heads.

inmensamente (immensely) is the first vinyl release by lanoche and the first reference on so unreal, a new vinyl-only label based in madrid. this three-track ep opens with two deep house tracks ( te quiero and extasis ) on the a side and closes with the fourteen-minute-long inmensamente on its b side, an atmospheric lo-fi house composition which the ep takes its name from. lanoche is a project where ambient and experimental sounds converge with atmospheric techno and deep house, finding inspiration in the output of labels like mille plateaux, force inc music works, ~scape, faitiche, mule musiq, soul people music, deepblak, deep explorer, finale sessions, aesthetic audio, smallville, dial / laid, underground quality, plan b recordings, dolly, fxhe, echocord, sistrum, strength music, mojuba or something. with inmensamente , lanoche has produced a rare blend of abstraction, introspection and hedonism, carefully distilled into the enticing notes of an underground club sound.

dekmantel is thrilled to announce an exciting new project by the impeccable robert hood. over the course of three different eps and an album, the detroit legend presents paradygm shift. hood: ‘‘the idea behind paradygm shift is similar to a shift in our focus. we can become so complacent, we are so comfortable with our surroundings, i think this is the time for electronic music to find a new mindset.’’ the form lockers ep kicks of the series with great anticipation. two tracks that have ‘rob hood’ written all over it: minimalistic beasts, bursting from energy and meticulously crafted by the hand of a master producer. ‘form’ slowly but surely creeps upon you, a slow starter, but in the end the techno funk-finesse will roar like a detroit car engine. ‘lockers’ follows a slightly more melodic path, keeping the momentum by delivering body shaking, pulsating techno, deep and timeless just the way we like it. it’s a pleasure to present you these two slayers, and there’s more to come.

the new luca bacchetti ep, genesis, comes out on endless right on the cusp between the old and new year. once again luca divests himself of all preconceived ideas, taking the project into 4 separate directions, 4 different soundscapes, but maintaining as underlying common denominators the attention to detail that has always distinguished his productions and his unmistakable groove, the poetic dimension and narrative ability always manages to reach its peak in the breaks.

as the d edge label clocks up release number 24, it turns to the phil hinter ensemble for a fantastic three track package that is filled with fresh house vibes. phil hinter ensemble is a joint project by phil s main pillars philogresz and german simon hinter. they have ties with labels like their own phil, love unlimited vibes and of course d-edge. previous eps have gone down well around the world and simon hinter s smart grooves and sample based fill-ins blends with the wombastic bass and shivering synth lines of philogresz perfectly. up first is the owl, a squelchy, synthetic house track with lively drums and chords and magical trumpets all making for a party starting track. it is perfectly arranged and expertly musical, unlike much of today s plastic and sample heavy sounds. in the air then gets even more playful with glossy synth stabs, rumbling bass and diva vocals all bouncing along in a charismatic style that is full of colour. struggle then gets intimate and final with scurrying little percussive sounds, burst of afro vocal, down low sine waves and icy snares all making for a perfectly seductive minimal techno brew

vinyl only release ... various artists / 08 ep from only 300 family recordings outlines a black cosmic forest growing, through organic vibrations and delightful sounds. hypnotic. resilient. overwhelming

almost exactly three years after nr&, a project uniting &me’s and rampa’s production with the voice of new york disco-house-siren nomi, dropped their debut ep, we finally can announce a new chapter in this ongoing transatlantic menage. this very “spoken for” ep is comprised of two new tracks, that again fuse songwriting with floor-demands and showcase the same crackling and pulse quickening passion that instantly has become nr&’s trademark. so here’s the evidence – a long distance relationship is not necessarily doomed to get boring after a while. “taste like” on a might be conceived as the club-affair of those two new joints. a tune indulging in self-control, extending the pre- eruptive moment of excitement to track length. there is nomi’s unmistakeable sexed up oration, flanked by an affirmative thunderstorm of claps, then a bass heavy bridge, overflowing into a noise brushed finale. altogether a tasty flavour carrier for an effective floor heating. “spoken for” is not only the title track, but also the hymn coming out of the flipside ambush. there is no kick necessary to underpin what nomi’s charismatic croon is laying down. therefore a wise choice to let the arrangement of interspersed field recordings, percussive details and piano- and synth-decoration exercise in unobtrusiveness. safe to say, this tune will refine many future peaktimes anyway.

nonkeen is a project led by nils frahm (erased tapes) alongside sebastian singwald and frederic gmeiner. nils frahm and gmeiner attended the same school in hamburg. a mutual interest in sound recording brought them together and they began producing their own radio show which featured sounds from school, the voices of their teachers and recordings of their own instruments, all recorded on tape machines for kids. the double vinyl release includes a download code.

hot on the heels of his brilliant superfoods trilogy of albums on bbe, australian production powerhouse inkswel returns with a brand new solo effort entitled unity 4 utopia . stellar collaborators steve spacek, recloose, crazy p, lay-far, kid sublime, mark de clive-lowe & colonel red all make an appearance help to make inkswel s quest for musical utopia a reality, and the album certainly does not disappoint. as the man himself puts it: -we need to work together if we want happiness and furthermore if we want positive change- this is mirrored in music, collaboration being key-. echoes of early hip hop, 80 s boogie, disco and house can all clearly be heard, all woven together by inkwel s uniquely soulful, futuristic yet vintage production style. drawn together by an abundantly positive feeling, vocal performances and beats are all faultlessly smooth and highly polished, but somehow the album retains a real sense of fun. already touring tirelessly, unity 4 utopia could well be the project which elevates mr inkswel from an underground phenomenon into a household name.

youth isn’t usually associated with wisdom, or depth or complexity for that matter. most 22 year-olds are still figuring out how a washing machine works but in the case of howes (the solo project of manchester-based john howes) he’s making electronic music that is operating on innovative and experimental levels one might expect from a hardened career musician hitting their stride. having released a more house-oriented 12” on melodic a couple of years ago, his debut album proper is a record that is as expressive as it is cohesive. it’s a release that floats between nocturnal stillness and insomniac driven intensity. the shift, howes says, “comes from the forced and narrow nature of a lot of electronic music. most modern electronic music to me is too safe in terms of ambition, sound design and intention.”
the limited edition 180g heavyweight vinyl includes a download code and comes housed in reverse board outer sleeve and black inner bag.
