19-track compilation of songs recorded across 1983, most of which have never been released on vinyl before! bocal 5 were a no wave art group composed of doc pilot (synths, vocals), zouka dzaza (bass), florian guillou (synths), mickey lepron (electronic drums, bass) and evy tinguette (lead vocals). the project was born in november 1980 in tours, france as the brain child of doc pilot. between 1981 to 1986 bocal 5 recorded one 7inch single and a cassette-only album before taking a year off in 1984 to launch x-ray pop. influenced by erik satie, brigitte bardot, suicide and young marble giants, they call their music-minimum naive new wave.

the second release on tb arthurs (312) label finds the mysterious artist revealing a collaborative project with magda as blotter trax. the pair first encountered each other at the famous motor city record store record time, when detroit artist bmg introduced his then co-workers magda and derek plaslaiko to arthur, who was visiting the shop from chicago. sometime after that meeting, magda and arthur went into the studio and jammed together for a week, the session was recorded live on analog 1/4 tape and then three tracks were selected for release. 1a is six and a half minutes of modulated synth sounds that are psyched out and sci-fi, spooky and truly atmospheric. full of cerebral cinematism, acid lines and ghoulish textures all add up to a truly standout track. 2a then marries dark wave pops and clicks, unsettling alien lifeforms and menacing, slo motion industrial drums into a physical and imposing groover riddled with paranoid sirens and drones. last of all, 2b snakes and slithers its way through undulating drums, cosmic freakiness and gloopy synth sounds that are all seductive and subversive in equal measure. this, then, is a truly fascinating pairing.

"zon - palace since more than ten years close friends and metal heads phillip tielsch (von spar) and mario katz (cologne tape) met for guitar sessions, trying to - nd the essence of their favourite metal records* and digest in their own sound“. quite ambitious but without any release plans so far... magazines jens-uwe beyer found out about their project and pushed them to produce an uncompromising condensate of their raw material. beyer cut here and there, contributed some additional production and also got john stanier (battles) in the boat for the drums. so zon became a band and -palace- became the most intense and sharp edged instrumental metal set you probably heard in years! crato s b-side counterpart, a 27min drone ambient interpretation of the zon material, completes this literally thrilling album and makes it – wrapped up by john harten s unique artwork series – another magazine release at its best. mastered by matt karmil. - 45 min playtime - endless loop on side a; b-side cut inside out"

re:works is the result of a groundbreaking project that sees the rich catalogue of decca classics being opened to some of the worlds foremost electronic producers, seeking to further establish the common ground between the historic and modern day aspects of musical composition. ranging from the experimental to the more recognisable 4/4 structures of house and techno, re:works elicits the full range of emotion – from the heartbreaking to the ecstatic. francesco tristano takes on one of the most recogniseable piano riffs of all time with his remix of ‘merry christmas mr. laurence, which, after a brief introduction of that seminal loop, descends into deep, dubby house cut punctuated by shimmering keys. patrice baumels remix is an intense techno workout that is in many ways the antithesis of his definitive roar: a non-stop pummeling via clattering percussion and a heavy, pulsing bassline. completing the package, grammy-nominated studio legend martin buttrich delivers a melancholy, minimalistic techno take on saties gnossienne no.4

&apos’s music veers between abstract, experimental compositions and more beat driven tracks, all held together by a defined aesthetic of sonic impurities and random patterns thrown up by algorithmic computations. in &apos’s music compositional decisions are not merely reliant on himself but also on a range of processes from constrained randomness to full fledged neural networks. that is to say, the ‘instruments’ he creates have -to a certain extent- a mind of their own. there will always be a dynamic between the musician and something else that triggers, proposes or decides what will happen to the music.it is exactly from this human-machine interaction that &apos extrapolates his musical ideas that are both intricate and detailed while never losing an overall sense of emotional value. his first solo project ‘lichtdrank’ is a selection of four tracks made during his time studying sonology at the hague’s royal conservatory and the time following. it is the third and final installment of bepotel s startuplabel trilogy. previously, he has released music together with walrus and sagat under several musical projects like smaakwaterval and bepotel. the artwork of the lichtdrank ep is based on screenshots from an interactive multiplayer video game where the musical universe of &apos can be explored.

since his first release in 2014, gardens of god has been building himself a sterling reputation that many can only dream of. this autumn sees the lithuanian dj and producer launch his own sodai imprint, with his own two track production river/ghost ep forming the debut release.river opens with a captivating force and level of intricacy that’s undeniably a gardens of god signature production. g host is highly emotive and charged, a record that unfolds with such force taking overarching white noise and horns to command the peak of the night. the creation of the sodai label arose as an outlet to release his own music at his own pace. as he explains,sodai will allow me to experiment with my sounds and create an ongoing project that gives me the freedom to style both with art and music. minidaugas lapinskis aka gardens of god has only released a handful of ep s and yet his name is often spoken with great regard among fellow artists, including the illustrious maceo plex. for over a decade gardens of god has been steadily mastering his craft and creating both film and television scores. it is only in recent years that he has decided to unveil his work and open the doors to his studio, as seen over at xlr8r

what happens when one of the most exciting electronic music projects of the last fifteen years meets the pioneer of cosmic disco? the result is stunning and with no doubt one of the most interesting things we have heard in a while. psycho radio was born in 2002 from an idea of the italian producer daniele tignino and sound engineer pat legato, with vocals from british singer leroy c anderson. they burst in the music scene with an innovative sound that took inspiration from the 80 s new wave, funk and electro grooves. tracks like in the undergroun and right stuff brought a breath of fresh air in those years, and they still sound very actual today. 2016 has seen the addition of producer da lukas to the project, with psycho radio now back with an explosive new single called bad reputation. once again with the captivating vocals by lc anderson. the legendary disco innovator daniele baldelli teams up once again with marco dionigi to bring us two stellar remixes that move from the funk infused vibe to their trademark cosmic balearic journey. an essential record for the final summer days.

the omnibus band was founded by jarda zajpt and petr dikan in 1979 in czechoslovakia. having met at the electronic high school, electronics was their field of expertise. over time, petr dikan constructed several sound devices such as the Šílený fridrich (Šf, crazy frederick) keyboard and the vsd (všude samý dráty/wires everywhere) generator which he operated during the recordings and also at concerts. at that time, heavily influenced by brian eno and robert fripp from the king crimson band, jarda zajpt played the guitars, using all kinds of effects, pre-recorded tapes, and one or more interconnected tape recorders. the first record, “israels”, was produced between 1980 and 1982. in 1985, jarda zajpt swapped a guitar for a keyboard and a new member arrived – pavel zvolenský – who programmed and played the automatic percussions. martin bauer, playing the bass guitar, completed the trio. they have produced a second album, “rhythmus”, in this assembly. remastered from unreleased tape recordings. this is the first release in the framework of the project jupiter 08 – archeology of the slavic electronic sound.

the third instalment of braiden s off out label arrives via chunyin, a new dancefloor orientated project by hong kong born, sydney based artist, singer and producer rainbow chan. early support from benji b, eclair fifi, bill kouligas, joy orbison amongst others. the lead track of this release, -fei-, was the genesis of this project, created as she started to explore the world of murky dancefloor music. the track delivers a raw, punky attitude with a nod to minimal wave, littered with warped organic sounds and samples of hong kong new wave cinema. following this is -emporium-, a relentless jacking dancefloor number, syncopated groove laden drums married with airy atmospherics. -shi- closes this ep with a unique and brooding techno inspired track that rolls yet feels as though it s perpetually falling apart at the seams. vinyl comes with screenprinted and chinese seal hand-stamped artwork designed by braiden, illustrated by chuny

if you love contemporary minimal music, then you are certainly familiar with the greek artist stathis leontiadis. with his bands human puppets, exetix and plexiglas this musician became one of the stars of the genre. now he is back with doric. with this solo project he already released a single and an album on fabrika and a 10- on domestica. the new release is once again a 10-, this time on peripheral minimal. doric uses a special concept. the a-side is the so-called asleep side and is about loneliness: music that sounds paranoid. sleep of reason is almost unbearable, it s madness driven by minimal electronics. everything is very danceable, but this is the dance of madness. the minimal sound comes straight from the 80s. over my dreamssounds a bit like the early parade ground. simply great! head against the wall (a title that needs little explanation) is slow and compelling.

the smoke clears is the abstract ambient project of producer john daly (one track/izu/running back, feel) he debuted this alias with an eponymous lp in 2013 on further records and we re proud to present a part 2. following up his 2013 lp of the same name, this record builds upon it s predecessors ambient abstractions while adding another layer of nuanced melodic contemplation.

reduced and methodical housey techno from this new anonymous project out of portugal. in the same lineage as early cabinet records or tobias freund under his tobias. moniker, the duo apply the detail-oriented approach of a sound designer to classic dancefloor forms, each cut matching techno sensibilities with a levity that can only come from a love for the giants of 90s us house. flat, impassive kicks get lifted by skippy hats and claps, dubby synth backdrops are punctured by dramatic stabs (note the chez n trent flashes on the b-side), and under it all roams an ever-restless (sub-)bass that reaches right into your guts. the name may be routine, the effect is anything but.

despite his artist name and his trademark sound, steve murphy does not come from chicago, but from mira, a little town on the suburban area of venice. steve has been djing since 2001, and in the past years has been rocking almost every club in his region. he is serious and professional behind the decks: playing only with vinyl, he blends electro and house, techno and new wave, acid madness and pop appeal. steve has produced together with die roh an album (-the chasm-) and one e.p (-windy city-) on chiwax, and a solo 10- (-planet earth-) on rawax, these records have quickly gone out of stock and that have been acclaimed by the lovers of the classic warehouse sounds. in 2012 he has started the riviera project and has founded the muscle records label, together with lucretio, dj octopus, caio, madì grein and chevel. the label is a facility to spread what has been called -the sound of brenta-: a raw, nasty, machines powered clash of house and techno. in 2012 he also released -the dove ultimatum- on vae victis records, under the moniker of durant: an unfriendly 12- of distorted electro and funky acid beats produced with die roh and lucretio.

limited to 150 copies in uv spot glossed silken sleeve and frosted clear vinyl.
the debut release on sores could be by none other than martyr of sores. it is a project of the prominent experimental artist richard ramirez, with hundreds of productions to his name. richard has worked with names like prurient, thurston moore, the haters and merzbow just to name a few. he is also an avantgarde fashion designer. ’ceremony’ is a monumental noise piece in two parts. electrical whirlwind sounds that grows ever so slowly to take you in and tighten it’s grip around your very being. chants evolve in and out of the inferno that are nothing less than astonishing. a hard and beautiful noise work, thanks richard.

midnite spares, australian music devotees andrás and instant peterson hold a candle to overlooked avant-pop and electronic works by antipodean artists and outsiders working through the 80s and 90s. through co-presenting weekly radio show strange holiday, the duo slowly upturned their locale for inspiration - archives, country bookstores, private collections and convenience stores, searching for a place to anchor their own identities in the oceans of the island continent. the 10 tracks acknowledge a minor history, passed on via a network of friends, friends of friends, the libraries of radio station 3rrr and more often than not, the artists themselves. renowned mixed media artist maria kozic enters with the mysterious downbeat of trust me, her partner philip brophy responsible for digital and analogue sonic construction. a recurring character in andrás and instant peterson’s investigations, brophy reappears with a score piece from his divisive feature film salt, saliva, sperm and sweat, recorded as ??? (pronounced “tch tch tch-). other links are thread under the surface. melbourne inner north experimentalist david chesworth explores his australiana songcraft leading whadya want?. the short lived project also featured philip jackson, whose duo the couch is restored from fast forward’s dance issue - a pioneering cassette fanzine published by early-80s 3rrr

the second release is from zov zov, oliver’s experimental project with tommy gillard which saw it’s debut release last year via shifted’s label mira

nothing lasts but nothing is lost – terence mckenna first solo ep by zanias after her keluar and linea aspera projects. this evolution culminates in a mature but radical project. radicalism has never relied completely on the means to deliver it. it also requires a relationship to society, to culture, at any given time. a solid background must be included in the formula as well. once certain stability is reached, there is no other way more than taking additional risks in order to produce new work of interest. finding different mechanisms to corrupt the methodical linearity that underlies artistic production. corrupting means finding possibilities to create an accident, possibilities to contradict, to prove anomalies within the frame of reference of that new thought is actually possible.

system boss mike gervais is back at it, and he’s bringing a crew of talented conspirators to surround you on four sides with an original cut and three distinctly different interpretations. surrounded drops in with a thumping kick following a relentlessly rolling synth through taut drum programming, sizzling ride cymbals, and crisp claps to build tension on the dance floor. annie hall takes the suspense of the original deep underground, for a subterranean journey through throbbing bass, corroded synths and filthy atmospherics, straight to the nucleus of the netherworld. jesse jakob pumps up the kick for a jacking reinterpretation laden with warehouse synths and a barrage of claps for big rooms. project 313 slips into a shadowy maze of smoke and mirrors to bend their remix into a lithe and rubbery low­down groove, perfect for heating things up early or when it’s time to stay long and get weird.

fuckthegovernment.ltd, a.k.a. f.t.g (alfredo trastulli) and music box head honcho, marco riff, return to the skylax fold in 2016 with a cache of house nuggets for our listening pleasure. their last venture on skylax saw f.t.g collaborate with a bunch of his friends, resulting in some of the best tracks we’d heard all year, including the unforgettable fuckthegovernment theme. their tracks have been celebrated and hailed by some of the best djs in the game, names such as derrick may, ricardo villalobos, raresh, and dj harvey. the bar set by the first record remains sky high, and somehow, these two manage to raise the bar even higher. it may be the biggest cliche going when talking about an album, but the duo certainly do take us on a journey, through the past and present of house music. it’s a record not too dissimilar in tone to paranoid london’s from a few years back, but f.t.g and marco strip things back even further than those guys did, in our opinion, the sound is more raw with less frills, and no track names to predispose feelings in the listener either. this eight track project is cohesive and elaborate, with movements through sounds both acid and jazzy, minimal and maximal. it explores sounds that came to prominence in famous house locales such as detroit and chicago over in the u.s., but the underground european influence is definitely present, from paris to berlin, and of course f.t.g and marco’s home of italy. with this album, these guys add to the underground sound that has cultivated in the city of perugia for years now, a place that has seen the likes of simoncino and nicholas hone their craft.don’t miss out on a piece of skylax history

one per customer ... the wonderful black ops sub label from the sleazybeats people wraps up, which has been a monumentally successful series by anyone s standards, with an ep from the notorious sample bandits, the popular peoples front over a decade after launching a distinctive series whose ambitions amounted to no less than condensing thirty years of black club music into a beautifully packaged, portable collage of sonic sample goodness, the sb crew tracked them down & appealed to their anarchic, nihilistic nature by offering them the final release on the label. the ppf project itself came to a close at release no. 10, so the synchronicity was strong for no other reason than a desire to celebrate dancefloor abandon and strive to soundtrack the purest forms of hedonism, ambiguous sexuality and a transcendent celebration of outsider culture, not to mention a green light to shamelessly exploit, steal and otherwise pilfer their source material, they said yes. after trying, with no small amount of success to transcend the basic edit through the ppf series, the band have again worked their collage approach into three truly magical cuts as always, this is a limited, vinyl only release. it will not be repressed and will not be released digitally. not now, not ever
