distant hawaii kicks into gear for the second half of 2016 with our first transatlantic artist joining in the shape of immense production and dj talent, garrett david.
already a prominent figure in the windy city scene via his residency at smart bar and working as a&r and in-house buyer at gramaphone records, garrett’s talents extend even further, right back to the lab, to the deep studio from whence all music grows.
his chicago-tinged-with-detroit blend of clean, yet warm and occasionally raw bumpin’ house tracks showcase a kaleidoscope of grooves backed by heavy-seated drum programming and glacial, almost-interspatial padwork.

better known as kemback, geoff wright is a bristol based producer, selector, composer, violinist, teacher, and waiter whose music is rooted in house and techno but often treads into the weird and wonderful worlds of jazz, soul, folk, and blues. while his gritty drums and shuffling grooves bear the hallmark of the city he now calls home, the melodic sensibility of his emotive strings and distant glimmering synths harks back to the tree-lined footpaths of the tiny scottish village from which he takes his name. his debut release in 2014, on bristol mainstay futureboogie, received widespread support from djs as diverse as skream, mosca, and nemone. more recently his effort as part of alfresco disco s acclaimed maximum joy series, titled awaken , has been likened to the music of artists including floating points and leon vynehall. good night & for you today, the two tracks on kemback s omena debut, showcase a high level of production skill. to complete the package the always excellent auntie flo (aka brian d souza) & omena label boss tooli take turns in remixing good night.

uk-bred, berlin-based neinzer returns with a two-piece record on london’s yumé. taking found sounds from the city he lives in the fear explores themes of personal desire, the fear of failure and rejection. juxtaposing this side, the beacon employs a heavily resonated rain sample to create a dreamier work centered around a throbbing bass line and aerodynamic chords in the mixolydian mode.

this record was written with the intention of conveying classic aspects of house music. track names such as “paradise garage”, “the warehouse” and “zanzibar club” come from monumental clubs that helped shape the history of house. it s true roots in chicago (the warehouse), to new york city (paradise garage) and new jersey (zanzibar club). this 12 features an heavy low end bass line surrounded by a fuzzy acid, brisk and grubby house beat, lush chords deliberately sitting alongside with crispy clear high end vocals. it s about respecting a legacy, the foundation.

coordinated ep presents two tracks relating to two different spots, so two different atmospheres. whereas 51°54 01.6-n 4°28-05.0-e corresponds with the maastunel in rotterdam that connects the banks of the nieuwe maas, 51°54 33.0-n 4°29-13.7-e matches the erasmusbrug (erasmus bridge), a combinedcable-stayed and bascule bridge in the center of rotterdam connecting the north and the south parts of the city. whereas the a-side presents a techno and trippy side, the b-side reveals a more atmospheric and percussive one. in summary, both tracks are quite linear, a linearity that hypnotises and sucks the listener up till bringing him in a trance that makes him feeling in another dimension.

nice price deal !!! for the first time chicago artists traxx & josh werner come together as jm strap and they are responsible for the a side of this record. we proudly present >the owl in daylight<, an amazing track that brings back the chicago jakbeat sound with an incredible bassline that seems alive, weaving all around the song to take it to the next level with a simple but intriguing dark pad and brilliant solid drums. on the flip we have >play error< by juanpablo. this madrid based artist is responsible for the frigio label and his track composed on the phrygian scale. the result is a dark and rythmic tune with a sweet melody and background voices. like the other tunes on this record >mute city< by lektoluxe remains at the underground level with galactic melodic synths and a fat deep bass that switches to acid tones at points.

this is a limited edition vinyl only sampler of the forthcoming album the bells by kornel kovács. these tracks, extended takes on album cuts gex and joseys tune as well as a remix from the one and only samo dj are exclusive to this record. enjoy the music! the bells is out august 24 on studio barnhus. all the best from stockholm city, studio barnhus

disco is back! from paris to melbourne, berlin or athens, a new blend of 70s inspired disco sound is currently taking the dancefloors by storm with artists like monika, limperatrice or leonxleon, creating a stir on the international scene. paying their dues to the pure form of disco, these new artists, far from mimicking the clichés, are adding an unmistakable millennium twist to the genre. this is disco 2.0. the double vinyl release includes a download code.

the music here is very much in the spirit of the label s kosmische/space berlin-school agenda, both reflecting his earlier work and exploring new territory simultaneously. lush orchestrations and beautiful synth pads contrast against hypnotic rhythms and delicate melodies, and while the label s mission might be -electronic listening music- tracks like red bird and mistral are surely dj material too.

jeremiah r has been responsible for some of the finest electro to be released over the past few years, with his mini albums for tabernacle records being particularly potent. here he launches the distant wave label with eight more chunks of atmospheric, far-sighted futurism. as usual, he flits between ambient style interludes and more expansive dancefloor fare. in the latter category you ll find the motor city techno futurism of -bermuda triangle-, the glistening idm loveliness of -streaming to arcadia-, the larry heard-in-space deepness of -cruiser-, and the drexciyan throb of -jar (jamming avoidance response)-. all are, naturally, both luscious and pleasingly melodious, whilst retaining an intergalactic sense of atmosphere.

for this new release, rue de plaisance opens its doors to a new york city artist we have been following since her debut 3 years ago. she’s developed a very personal, warm and groovy sound on different labels (brouqade, bodyparts) and in her live acts. her recordings have gathered the support of great artists from the scene and it s a real pleasure to welcome oshana.

most excellent unlimited is back with a homage to the primal roots of the dance floor, the disco break. this six-track, 12-inch ep gathers secret weapons from a diverse group of master re-editors who ve each provided their take on the venerable dj tool in the form of loops and grooves that will be welcome additions to the palettes of creative disc jocks everywhere. ranging from the minimal drum machine beats of daniel wang and alex from tokyo to the dramatic orchestration of tom noble s -samuel- and the whistle-laced afro disco of jacques renault (and a battle-ready acapella loop from danny krivit), most excellent breaks, beats & loops lives up to its name with a collection that pays respect to the lineage of the classic new york city edited break compilation.

driving, rumbling techno beats and soulful vocals. all tracks stand in contrast though they don’t lose their relation to each other. positive vibes have the potential to develop into their complete opposite after re-listening. sounds fade through industrial ruins, always picked up again by vocal snippets. satanic choir meets berghain.
redredred from muenster (germany) is coming to tell a story with his debut ep. shifts between deep rough techno tracks, warm house tunes and ambient pieces like a master. still, other musical influences are present as well. significant here is his distinct sound design. constantly revealing new elements almost like a nightly walk through an empty city under a foggy blanket. this ep is more than a travel companion as it delivers tracks that are definitely suitable for a club.

underground slick yet daring chicago veteran emcee gilead7 of the windy city super collective tomorrow kings has completed yet another audio diamond to accompany the already existing brilliance of his nationally and internationally distributed collection of uniquely-created albums. known and respected by his scattered international cult following for not only his record collaborations and stage sharing with everyone from vast aire and a.g. but also his sonically experimental and lyrically razor-edged abrasive -art rap- for over 12 years, gilead has etched an indelible place for himself in indie hip-hop, combining aggressive universe creation and quirky nerdom in ways that only he could pull off

time has come: asymptote duo, owner of the label, makes its debut with its first ever release. sav004, behind the scene ep, is the result of a driving combination between old and new school elements, aimed at the big floor. a side, is darker and deeper, made by two acid and atmospheric techno cuts: behind the scene and chain reaction . on the b side, the traveller is a minimalistic techno trip, with millsian reminiscences. plastic city instead, with its essential sonorities, draws inspiration by the old detroit school, trying to evolve it and go well beyond. past and future create the present

zweiter sampler von ibiza-dj chris coco, kurator der real ibiza-serie, und jim breese, resident-dj im café mambo. 13 hervorragende balearic-tunes, darunter neuen tracks von faze action und horsebeach, neue beach-house-versionen der 80s klassiker good life- (inner city) und hangin on a string (loose ends), stereolab-sängerin laetitia sadier mit einem dubby digi-reggae-tune, sowie vinyl-exklusiv sacha puttnam mit einem cover des abrahams theme aus dem chariots of fire soundtrack.

dissonant returns with some thrilling, fresh grooves from new york city by the talented producer bobby gasparakis for the upcoming release. the legacy of ny house on gaspara sound is balanced out by a measured and energetic approach reaching the most effective dancefloor cuts.

this ep is the second part of a trilogy that neue grafik began with -pris- on the label beat x changers. the next and last ep of the series coming up on this label will be -the end of the replicant stories-. for the moment, are out :­ pris (a basic pleasure model) ­ roy (nexus 6 who killed is creator) like roy, batty said to himself: -it s not an easy thing to meet your maker-. the music on this ep is about anger, acceptation, love and complicated relationships with fathers. there is a lot of references to african roots, legends and to neue grafik s deep feelings for the city of paris.

yalta is a resort city on the southern coast of the crimean peninsula surrounded by the black sea. this place has heavily influenced a talented artist pavel milyakov also known as buttechno. this album is his dedication to yalta, but it’s not just about geographical location, it’s about a special and sacred state of mind and soul that the producer calls -yalta-. this very personal work of a mature author reflects his deep and multifaceted approach to the research of the sound language.

all sounds running together, combined, fused or following. sounds of the city and sounds out of the city, sounds of the day and night. thousands of machines and a thousand different noises, combining them according to our imagination.

known for his more elegant and subtle atmospheric techno music though, conforce is never afraid of deviating from his safe zone. sometimes a change of environment can bring new musical influences and shine new light on existing musical projects. there is a small narrative about this release. what happens when you place an island boy in an multicultural harbour metropolitan city? stuff might get a little bit more rough edged from time to time. a transition from the serene tranquility of the islandic coasts to the impatient impulsiveness rush of the metropolitan city. narrative collapse ep contains music created though more impulsive machine jamming. be ready to get a fix of rotterdams real danger. play loud!

visonia returns to electronic emergencies with the powerful amethyst eclipse ep. evolving naturally from last year s nausicaa, our beloved chilean moves into darker techno territory without losing his distinctive melancholy while experimenting on the crossroads of ambient and electro. once again, the resulting electronic storm will blow you from your inner space to the dance floor and back. artwork was created especially for visonia by silas.nl, also known as fellow ee star machinegewehr.

one of the founding members of apollonia, shonky was responsible for his label’s very first release back in 2012 with ‘the minneapolis touch’. outside of working on the trio’s debut lp ‘tour a tour’, shonky has been relatively quiet on the solo tip. here on apollonia’s 25th release we’re treated to four new cuts from the berlin-based parisian, kicking off with plombie&#768,,re (plumber in english). shonky injects a variety of unusual sounds, which revolve around a jaunty bassline, while voices dip in and out of the background, repeating the mantra ‘house music’ together with other difficult to decipher vocal clips. the track has a catchy rhythm that bounces along with aplomb. up next ‘house me’ is a sleazy, mischievous cut with a deadly low end and a seductive vocal that urges you to ‘house me’. as the bassline rumbles, high pitched effects add a hypnotic element to the track. badboy business.on the b-side we have ‘perchee’, which is powered by cleverly layered percussion, which is almost ‘live’ sounding. another one of those ‘shonky’ basslines gets us straight into the groove, with utterly contagious beats – this is one to shake the dance floor down its core. finally, ‘cosmopolis’ has that inner city realness flowing through with the chatter of a street corner in the background, a killer b-line and one of those classic vocal samples that is oh so familiar and gets you nodding your head as soon as you hear it. and there it is, four dance floor cuts with plenty of depth and groove in true shonky style… c est formidable!

this is the second collection to bring together many of the visionary producer clement ‘sir coxsone’ dodd’s early recordings made with jamaica’s most exciting young artists and musicians. the triple 180 gram vinyl release includes a download code.

another fine reissue of a chicago classic from jeff craven and his large music imprint focusing again on the dynamic artistic team of black ice productions. first released in 1992 on velvet city records, the black ice ep treads more into a deeper and jazzier vibes than their other outings at that time (such as the union camp release). a few listens and one can easily recognize the influence that all four tracks had on future labels and artists throughout the mid and late 1990 s. this is timeless, pioneering chicago deep house at its finest and a must have for all collectors.

catz n dogz ready the next 12inch on their vinyl only pets raw and refined offshoot step. this comes in the follow up to records from a1 bassline, eduardo de la calle, andre kronert and the label owners themselves and marks the return das komplex who offers up his all for love lp. hailing from koszalin in poland, das komplex is undoubtedly an artist of many talents, a full time architect by trade, he has released material on father and son records and tapes label and also offered up the extolled and coveted 6th pressing on the step imprint back in august 2015 a record that sold out rapidly after hitting the shelves. now, his return marks the first foray into long-play format for step and allows das komplex to stretch his legs across 8 masterful disco grooves. diem kicks things off to a sunny start with sizzling guitar licks and softly pattering bongos before the slick italo-tinged obelisk and the richly atmospheric redukcja dysonansu poznawczego follow up. the project spreads out towards the jubilant and dreamy all for love which leads into brukiew, an introverted but ultimately feel-good conclusion that wraps up a beautifully balmy collection and another coup for step.

2016 is shaping to be a fantastic year for rebirth records, the 10th year anniversary and the 100th release…to celebrate this special date the label owner shield and his right arm robytek get in the studio to collaborate with two of the most innovative figures of the end of 70s / early 80s. the a side is the the pyramids with isabelle antena, french singer and songwriter, founding member of electro-samba pioneers antena. in the 1990s she also led another group, the powaga sisters, for three albums between until 2004. alongside these projects she maintained a solo music career, selling over a million albums and earning musical acclaim across the globe. from camino del sol (1982) to bossa super nova (2010), her cool latin, bossa, jazz and funk vibes have delighted ears and feet worldwide. the pyramids is something really special, a cosmic and balearic song with a timeless meaning, with the collaboration of martin ditcham (sade s percussionist) for the drum and paolo mantini, a real italian talent, for the bass and chords. the aa side is now, a collaboration with salvatore principato (sal p.) and dennis young, known as the vocalist and marimba/percussionist of (for the legendary early 80 s nyc band liquid liquid) seminal nyc minimalist-funk band liquid liquid. the experimental sounding band emerged from new york city s vibrant downtown scene in 1981, developing their own unique sound which they called big beat, a fusion of irresistible basslines, junkyard percussion and urgent, free-flowing lyrics. the group s successes included club hits such as cavern (sampled by grandmaster flash in the making of white lines), bellhead and optimo in addition to sold-out concerts worldwide. sal p and dennis still explore today new ways of writing & performing music. now is the experimental way to combine the live drums played by snacks (the berlin based duo rene corbett & aljoscha babel), with the electronic world and the unique musical textures from sal p and dennis young.

die fans im londoner hammersmith odeon ahnten nicht was passieren sollte, als sie gespannt auf ihr idol bowie aka ziggy stardust warteten. es sollte die letzte show der person ziggy stardust sein. ein furioses set mit allen hymnen aus bowie’s damaligen schaffens dokumentiert die großartigen live-qualitäten von ziggy und den spiders from mars. vor dem letzten song läutet bowie den “bühnentod” von ziggy stardust mit den worten ein: “of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest, because not only is it the last show of the tour, but it s the last show that we ll ever do. thank you.”
