these songs were not born in the club, nor were they written by producers’ algorithms. so where did these hits come from? maybe from poolside changing rooms (aldona or&#322,,owska is the polish champion in butterfly style swimming)? or maybe from opera singing lessons with professor olga olgina, the melodist born at the beginning of the 20th century in tsarist russia? she feels as good in performing on yachts as in beautiful churches. aldona marries the virtues of an opera singer and a disco star. she creates together with her husband, an outstanding instrumentalist and unconventional producer. they don’t care about trends, they go where the music is. for a quarter of a century they’ve been splitting their lives between malmö and mallorca, swedish piano houses and beaches. aldona or&#322,,owska.

by the 1970s studio one and clement ‘sir coxsone’ dodd had already proved himself to be the defining force in reggae for almost two decades. from running the downbeat sound system on the lawns and yards of kingston in the late 1950s to opening studio one at 13 brentford road at the start of the 1960s, ushering in ska and rocksteady and establishing the careers of most of jamaica’s artists – everyone from bob marley and the wailers, ken boothe, toots and the maytals, the skatalites, jackie mittoo and more – clement dodd had until this point dominated the jamaican musical world.

andi and david first met in a forest beside a psychedelic castle in the wild west of scotland and soon bonded over a love of wrong speeders, balearic gems hidden in plain sight and the odder side of the dancefloor before djing together just moments after andi was unraveled from a burning tarpaulin. a firm friendship and fun partnership was born. hailing from mancunia but for sometime an export to the usa, andi, for many years was one of the great things about new york city. a charming, low-key individual, a great, great dj and a graceful presence in the land of the overhyped and ego driven. andi held down the musical supervision of rock star games and was responsible for a lot of great music getting out to the gaming masses. he was a vital member of body and soul for the best part of 15 years, delivering infamous warm up sets for danny krivit, joaquin joe claussell and françois k, pedigree vibes... david, a music lover since birth, a record collector for more than quarter of a century and a reputation for being the first on the floor at any party. db s transition from dancer to dj didn t take too long and his selections of rare disco, oddball gems and panglobal pandemonium have seen him play back rooms, basements, festivals and freakouts throughout the land, whether running his own parties in glasgow or playing further afield alongside the likes of young marco, jayda g and moodymann.

few would challenge the claim that the 1960s and 70s have been the most fertile two decades in the history of popular music ever - a period which, regardless of genre, laid the foundations for everything that has followed. what is more, this period was so fertile that the speed with which tastes changed left a colossal amount of incredible music to gather dust - perhaps most famously a profusion of funk, soul and jazz. it was a musical legacy that lay mouldering until the rise of sampling in late 80s hip-hop precipitated a mad scramble for lost crates and suddenly, the music that became known as rare groove - for obvious reasons (it was rare and very groovy) - experienced a phoenix-like rebirth. a quarter of a century on and a million funk, soul, jazz-funk and rare groove compilations, re-presses and re-releases later, you d think that cupboard was bare and yet, even now, there are gems to be found. pt is re-releasing the rarest of cuts that often were originally only limited runs or private pressings and new compilation down & wired is just such a collection. always soulful, this features everything from mod groovers and northern stompers, to funky bumps and latin heaters. yet while the quality of all cuts is immediately apparent, only one of the eleven has ever been previously been compiled because when pt do rare, they don t mess around. in fact, if these tracks were steaks - they d still be walking around eating grass.

over seven years of grounded theory and a clutch of celebrated releases to his name, henning baer has already proven himself one of the finest berlin has to offer. with the launch of his manhigh imprint, he takes the jump to full control of his own output, freed of the constraints of collaborators and outside artistic direction.

we are in front one of the most vital releases of chaval records discography. the new release of record label based in carabanchel quarter faces a concept that we can not see, but that gives us a lifetime. the force of ki. that energy that emerges from victor santana and hiroshi watanabe the new protagonist of this new installment.

opening their doors every saturday for mind-altering shock treatment, power station has been giving their raging punters a potent dose of megawatt reality. their curatorial expertise has established an institution that will now extend the mythical energy generated with a record label in the form of annual limited 12inch compilations, grouping tracks that have already become the club s signature tunes. resident, booker and co-founder kris baha finds himself on both sides of the inaugural disc, with the ball of confusion solo production something something, and again as heavy concern in collaboration with otologic s nick murray, a name synonymous with the melbourne club circuit being one quarter of the animals dancing massive. young gun disrute captures the optimum warm up set with the shape shifting slow burner ka-bu while scene veteran and haul music boss mike callander discovers a new lab mutation of sci-fi soundtrack, damaged funk and cerebral house

our 11th release comes from hamburg duo suburb. after solid releases on quarter notes or thema the german duo delivers this 4 tracker release luv is common. a side goes into a deep journey through sweet chords and melodies with raw beats. b side goes into a more classic house feeling with two super groovy tracks with shaking samples. luv is common is a beautiful piece of modern house music.

two pieces of snarling filter house from nyc heavyweights robbie busch aka dj mcboing boing - record dealer to the stars, digger extraordinaire, & dj of sweaty underground parties around the world, and josh dunn - one part of the sorely missed 100 limousines, and one third of the holy trinity that put on new york s legendary foreal people party. for two guys so deeply immersed in the rich history of urban dance music, from the blues & gospel through deep disco, soul, chicago and detroit sounds, you could be forgiven for expecting to hear a rich homage to the sounds of the past. instead we get the future ghost of ron hardy playing the record backwards on a janky turntable with a quarter for a counterweight and fucking shit up in every conceivable way. these two are chiefly concerned with moving things forward, having some fun, and taking no prisoners along the way. golf channel every time !

the detroit music community has outposts in nearly every major city, and vancouver, british columbia is no exception. this ep represents the connection of two such artists, detroit native, josh garrett, who currently resides in vancouver and runs the subspec label, and rennie foster, a stalwart of the underground, who has spent a quarter of his life in tokyo, but born in bc and now living back there, in vancouver. rennie has released on a myriad of detroit labels, such as transmat, teknotika, soiree, subject detroit, wallshaker, and motech. josh and rennie met in vancouver, only since rennies recent return, and realizing they were of the same tribe, immediately began to collaborate on a number of projects, now including this limited run, double a-side, record, chalk full of dj friendly techno trax, firmly rooted in the motor city sound, yet unique enough to be a contributor, not just another imitator.

while their sporadic appearance remains a frustration, it s hard to find fault with boe recordings halal prepared series of eps. this third installment of the series, which lands 12 months after it s predecessor, contains another quarter of high quality deep house jams. the real highlights - to our ears, at least - are the two tracks that doff a cap to classic detroit techno, whilst keeping their feet firmly rooted in deep house. both -star struck- by chicago deep and havantepe s -plane waves- capture the retro-futurist spirit and stargazing electronics associated with the motor city perfectly. elsewhere, keep an eye out for taelue s -desolate dreams-, which offers a bittersweet trip into ultra-deep house territory.

towards distance - embarking upon a journey into the unknown, where only the journey is the reward – not the destination. a road trip into distance. towards the horizon. getting in motion and never standing still.

the hyper-chromatic music of matt cutler marks him out as a true impressionist, as lone, he drizzles brightly coloured melody through his tracks with all the reflexive skill of a master painter daubing inks and pigment across paper. on cutlers fifth lone album, reality testing, released on r&s, he sends notes and chords rippling delicately into space before allowing them to disperse, each oozing beautifully away into the background fabric of the music. combined with rhythms that ebb and flow, shifting from propulsive club constructions to beatific coastal hip-hop, it is a sensuous, immersive, heady experience, and easily his most accomplished and selfcontained work to date.
the double vinyl comes with download code for the full album.

after a few months of releasing collaborative eps alongside sascha rydell and roman lindau, mike dehnert marks a quarter century of releases on his own label with fachwerk 25, a full-length album. comprised of 13 tracks and coming almost a year after his last effort, >framework< on delsin records, this new album sees mike experimenting somewhat. away from the dubbed out, functional and raw techno funk of his usual output, fachwerk 25 shows some concession to the album format, with more mysterious tracks of ambient buried amongst bits of acid, rave and plenty of unhinged sound design.

the italian slok consider himself more a great pasta chef than an underground contemporary electronic music artist...by the way, he had big influence on the italian breakbeat, drumnbass and jungle scene with his two debut albums they call it jungle and freak 2000, both produced for the renowned irma records. after a natural change to electronic and personal house music beats and sounds in 2006, the international club hit lonely child, released with the collaboration of satoshi tomiie & hector romeros saw recordings label (defmix production), boosted his musical career quickly. his discography also includes releases and remixes on hi profile records labels like get physical music, my favorite robot, circle music, one records, turbo, om, harthouse, plastic fantastic (stereonova), futic tokyo and many more. he currently runs on his own imprint electronic petz, a structure created for support brand new talented electronic music minds. in 2010 he released two different albums: rain, on alex flatners label circle music germany, and the fat pasta grooves on electronic petz. after an intense studio work and sounds research, the year 2012 promises to be full of new collaborations including the release of a new artist album and a live set.

having launched blkrtz to wide spread critical acclaim with his album drawn and quartered in june this year, deadbeat now enlist the aid of two fellow berlin residents who need no introduction for remix duties. working with the source material from the first quarter, scuba dons his scb guise and turns in a slow burning sci-fi techno monster sure to appeal to fans of monolake and his own early work. rife with reverb drenched sonar pings and mechanized groans in the periphery, the track lurches toward its epic crescendo like an alien infested star ship nostromo sliding slowly to its demise into the center of a black hole. bringing things back up into the light on the flip, efdemin tranforms the fourth quarter (calas house) into a chugging deep pocket house journey. riding the cusp of a rubbery bassline and molding the chords into a timeless house organ motif, the originals dubwise leanings are heard loud and clear through a cloud of crackling unintelligible vocal samples and thunderous spring reverb crashes worthy of king tubby himself. without a doubt two floor ready reinterpretations and a great sign of things to come from deadbeats new curatorial ventur

on their last album franz and jakob aka format b were to be found covered in soot and coal, firing up the engines of the dance locomotive, now they have gone greener and swapped over to wind power and are fishing the >restless< oceans of the world. tirelessly the two sailors work on the deck disregarding the cold and the weather, pulling in the nets filled with floundering hits. this time they have spiced up the bait with the amazing voice of fran on >liquid< who turns into a working class siren and manages to rock the boat properly with track 2. keeping with the maritime theme the boys have used a harmonica on >socks and sandals< and a piano on >piano man<. classic format b can be found on >atomizer< and >oversexed< … kicking man high bass beats to thrill the four quarter beat fans, and >biker meth< is going to keep you dancing till noon (at least). even with the pressures of jet setting, label management, party organisation, building a studio, and the romantic needs of their girlfriends they have still managed to finish their first formatik album to their complete satisfaction and are extremely proud to present the first artist album on formatik records. ahoi and enjoy people!

perc traxs transatlantic duo donor / truss return to the label for the follow-up to their >indifference ep< which was released at the start of 2010. since then they have recorded and remixed for a number of high-profile labels, most notably stroboscopic artefacts to which donor contributed an ep to the labels renowned monad series whilst truss appeared on the remix ep the preceded lucys debut album.
the four tracks that form >endo< represent a new peak for the donor / truss sound with each individual section working as both a self-contained track and a quarter of the entire endo experience. together the 4 parts join together to make a complete piece of music, stretching across 23 minutes and 2 sides of vinyl.

strike a pose! the fruit of the first labours of the third side (marieu, steffi, lucretio) with nd_baumecker is breathtaking and bewitching. the two gems on this 12 inch are recorded live in a single and unique take on a quarter inch tape during a moist afternoon at the beginning of the spring. this is a sound of passion and devotion. >retro vogue< is a dancefloor smasher with hooks and beats from the streets, that come from the past but that have been technologically reworked with artisans skills in a glamorous phrasing. >burning< is an house anthem that discloses, beneath his shining surface, all the darkest inspiration of this crew, from chicago, to berlin, via detroit. funky percussions and seductive synthesizers merge together in a blaze of radiance

in the context of electronic music, 12 years is damn near eternity, and though those who have lived it may not remember all the stops along the way, the ones who have kept on top of scott monteiths deadbeat music project will tell you he has been no slouch. through 6 critically acclaimed albums for scape and wagon repair, as well as countless singles, remixes, compilation appearances, and last years radio rothko dj mix, monteith has explored the art of dub in a staggering array of contexts, and staked his claim as one of it s strongest champions. and while the last few years have seen him concentrate on the more dance floor oriented side of things, his latest album and first release on his new blkrtz imprint sees monteith returning to his roots in the headiest and heaviest of dub business.

this album builds more than just one bridge between the best worlds of frivolousness and dependability – horizontally, vertically, all the directions in between, and in time. no matter what the current when you cross, the beginning and the end dissolve into an everlasting flow in true 25 character. the journey is fueled by its own limitlessness, all the while delivering crucial reference points for a purposeful riptide ride.
the experienced hedonist lets herself be driven through her beloved quarter-note spheres, relishing the moments when, in certain beats, twinkling details lead her towards a different route – one familiar but long forgotten. she strings this pearl on her chain of rhythm-driven moods, calling upon it at the right times to amplify her individual push. the allure of the impacts unfolding redeems each secret whispered by the spirit of the sound.
