two giants in dance music, totally enormous extinct dinosaurs (aka teed) & eats everything, join forces for a beast of a release on crosstown rebels. the exclusive track on the forthcoming get lost vi mixed by teed, lion, the lion is a ferocious dance-floor destroyer with a crackling, tough exterior pierced by rave fx and suspended by deeper elements creeping into the mix. remixes come courtesy of dutch producer and 4lux boss, gerd, who turns in a more swinging and suitably bass heavy sub-tech mix with added synth-line as well as a deep dub version.

dj hero, dance music trailblazer, french canadian heartbreaker… you see the hat, you know it’s a-trak! he’s been hard at work cooking up new music just for you, and fool’s gold is proud to present them as the tuna melt ep – four tracks of inescapably catchy, high-powered electronic jams, hand grilled by trizzy in the studio with his buds tommy trash, gta, galantis and oliver. just like a-trak’s dj sets around the globe, the ep masterfully flips between styles, with the title track’s enormous festival riffs breaking down perfectly into the half time slap of landline, while the rave bounce of jumbo builds up to the ecstatic, hands-in-the-air anthem disco nap. tuna melt is easily the funkiest meal since tom’s diner, bring yer appetite and come get greasy ...

limited edition of 500, housed in debossed sleeve, individually hand numbered.
the first in a series of limited edition 12 inches aimed at the dancefloor. ivvvo, a young producer from portugal with previous form on opal tapes and is closely affiliated with the photonz crew - the future ep presents his most exciting work yet. six transmissions long - vinyl scarred, abrasive and heartbroken, ivvvo reaches into early uk rave music for inspiration, but twists the end-game.

making a clean break with the poisonous digital dubstep rhythms in his first ep, dogboy’s basement to the attic is an fearless musical odyssey where the confines of this world end in intriguing organic sounds. in a way that wishmountain or burnt friedman would, dogboy scrutinizes the boundaries between experimentation and pure dance music. using recordings made in the different rooms of his family home, the four tracks on the ep start with laying down the subtitle emotional cool yet wobbly riddim card on the table, before gradually rising the subs and the pressure into a rave like burst of pride. futuristic, organic, progressive and utterly baffling, what makes basement to the attic so successful is it is purely unique.
pressing on 180 gram vinyl, free download card included.

londons powell works with opposites, in a way that is delightfully disconcerting. his tracks, on the surface, seem relatively uniform - but listen closer, or at punishing volume, and they teem with detail: wiry guitars, sinister yelps, synth figures that fizz like bubbles through sparkling water. across two eps in 2012 for his own diagonal label and one for death of rave in 2013, he has established himself as one of the uks most unique electronic musicians.

after first meeting stef smith aka lakosa at a birmingham warehouse rave back in 2010, the 2nd drop camp have been keeping an eye on this burgeoning talent, especially as he has popped music out on kerri chandlers madtech imprint among others. co-producer rick grant is 1/3 of take records and with releases on george fitzgeralds manmakemusic label, another key talent making moves this year. and despite having never met each other (they communicate via email and bass frequencies), it seems that when they collaborate the magic happens.

chris spero (otherwise known as uk house and techno producer glimpse) and hypercolour co-founder and producer, alex jones, return once again as dense & pika to the hotflush fold with move your body back. having crept out of the shadows back in 2011 with a collection of white labels released through their own eponymous imprint, dense & pika went on to bolster their rising profile with the release of their hotflush debut (crispy duck) which landed late last year as well as with their memorable live set at hotflushs recent boiler room takeover. there is nothing chin-strokingly complicated or needlessly over-worked about their productions. they make interesting techno aimed at the dance floor and move your body back continues with this central aesthetic. the three track ep plunders percussive depths by way of stern machine rhythms, swollen low-end grit and the echoing, anthemic elements of warehouse rave techno. the title track of the ep may already be familiar to many having appeared on their resident advisor podcast in march and is already being played out by maya jane coles, boddika and adam beyer, amongst others.

hes such an old romantic...more reflections from the tropics courtesy of king kivits. 1990 says it all - lushed out strings, diva vocal snippets and rave stirring sine wave set the scene while varck lets the beats roll.. in trademark fashion. the b side is absolutely nuts and really smacks - truly something else! art again from the brilliant young cosmo knex (who must have been about 4 yrs old in 1990)..tip! scntst &#8207,at scntst aardvarck you are a genius!

ever since stephen sharp and roc jiménez de cisneros embarked on the deconstructive process they refer to as rave synthesis, the goal was to come up with odd relatives of well established sounds in techno culture by constantly messing with the original recipes, expanding the tropes, and hinting at novel paths for contemporary psychedelia. almost three years after the influential rave slime, their fifth long player takes the idea one step further.

eerie is back with a deluxe package of remixes of marco shuttles monster the vox attitude. previously out on the swedish label vidd the original (by now a classic vocal basement rave hit) is again featured on this stunning release, after big demand of repressing, together with 2 blinding remixes by joey anderson and pangaea

for hardway bros first ep for throne of blood, sean looked back to the late 80s belgian new beat scene as well as chicagos storied wax trax imprint for inspiration, turning in two walloping originals that could just as easily soundtrack a gothic club night instead of an acid house rave. on the a-side, a/b musique kicks off the proceedings with a steady lurching rhythm, driving the dancefloor to ecstacy thanks to densely layered synths and the contributions of timothy j. fairplay of the asphodells fame. the flipside features the absolutely devasting rhythms of shorty backed by an utterly epic nine-minute remix by scott fraser which manages to fuse the disparate sounds of new beat and the lush analog house vibes of classic mr. fingers even as it name checks the latters legendary above the clouds lp.

the latest offering from san franciscos icee hot label finds the young imprint officially welcoming another artist to its gradually expanding roster. that said, contakt isnt exactly a stranger. the michigan-reared, new york-based producer is one of the founders and resident djs at brooklyns turrbotax® party, which has long been a sort of sister party to icee hot. contakt has previously released music for respected outposts like local action, grizzly, and dutty artz, but nobody else and tessera 04 find him taking an important step forward as an artist, delivering tunes that are richer and more really realized than anything from his past. particularly on nobody else, contakts flair for big-room melody remains intact, but he takes notes from classic kms, filling out the songs cresting synths with a full-bodied bassline, a hooky vocal sample and a sturdy rhythmic underpinning. tessera 04 goes deeper, channeling maurizio while delving headlong into a dense cloud of synths and maintaining a steady sense of forward momentum. on the flipside, icee hot resident ghosts on tape continues his recent hot streak, infusing nobody else with punchy drumwork and a potent rave sensibility. detroit legend robert hood then rounds out the release, transforming tessera 04 into a pulsing and purring slice of heady analog techno.

championsound continue to blaze a trail, showcasing some of the hottest new talent to emerge from irelands vibrant music scene!! following hot on the heels of the premiere release on champion sound in 2013 , next in line comes the work of prolific northern irish producer, t-polar, whose previous releases on acroplane, saigon recordings, morris audio, !kaboogie records and rebirth garnered the support of everyone from mary anne hobbs to 2562 to boddika. in keeping with his previous output and adding to what must surely be irelands deepest discography in electronic music (dating back to 2004), t-polar (aka gary spence) releases feetwork, an ep which hop-scotches genres, roughened up by the searing properties of hoover bass, teamed with tough, rolling kicks, nods to leftfield house and vintage rave, and peppered with skittering two-step grit. the remix in the pack comes from the increasingly ubiquitous unknown whose youtube uploads and remixes have been setting the internet alight with speculation.

dj hi-shock, also known as advanced human, returns to his roots, releasing a track on a label where it once all started: elektrax recordings. opening and title track control is as funny named as it is maddening. the irony lies in the fact that it is truly impossible to control your body.

activia benz are back in full swing for 2013 with their next release: recolor ep from 813. 813 is 25 year old russian badass, alexander goryachev. he is a firefighter, which is badass. his music is a dense collision of crazy rap beats, sort of, and some kind of fantastic rave thing, maybe. his music is very badass, much like the fact he is a firefighter. it is also very beautiful, like when he carries a small cat to safety from a burning russian building. recolor is a slice of really fantastic dancey bassy music for partying and hanging out to with your m8s.

rekids have teamed up with detroits fit distribution and enlisted the services of motor city locals marcellus pittman and urban tribe to put the 313 sound on *working* and *taxi talk*. on the former, marcellus pittman lays down his trademark blend of mechanical yet jerky old-skool drum machine rhythms and disorientingly dissonant, tripped-out synth chords – creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere that evokes images of detroits manufacturing plants of yesteryear. on the flipside, urban tribe transform *taxi talk* into a big room monster, using rumbling synth bass, electronic bleeps and laser gun snares to transport us back in time to a dark and hazy 90s warehouse rave.

elson david is the joint venture of londons duct and owen howells, two of shades of grey recordings co-founders. their first ep, a three-tracker of techy, acid-laced house with tongue-in-cheek nods to uk raving past and present is released on 21st january 2013. the collaboration was born of their shared love of acid house and rave culture, and the desire to do something a bit different to their solo work. both bring considerable talents to bear, ducts classical training and detailed craftsmanship, and owens idiosyncratic grooves and dancefloor focus combine in unexpected ways to produce something that sounds like neither and both.

doubleheart, the collaborative project of two of scotlands longest serving creative individuals in electronic music - jd twitch (optimo espacio) and neil landstrumm. taking its name from title song *roots* - a sub heavy, tension building track that re-imagines jamaican dub poet michael smiths original from the seminal 1982 album ‘mi cyaan believe it - the ep as a whole works as an analogue exploration into the rawer side of dance music. working together allows these veteran producers to fuse their individual styles and musical sensibilities, combining landstrumms raw aesthetic and mastery of hardware manipulation with twitchs unrivalled knowledge of what makes a dancefloor tick. spawning from the depths of their imaginations and machines are 4 club-ready tracks brimming with anticipation and menace. although taking its inspiration from 80s electro and 90s acid & rave, the final result is far from a throwback to a halcyon, bygone era. instead, they have managed to carve out a distinctive sound the bleeps and bangs its way firmly into 2013.
