deadly poison is the fourth installment of st petersburg-based producer sanys on discerning downfall theory series. retaining to the a/b format and treading a heady, analogue-hued line with releases thus far on predecessors control freak / event horizon, forward thinking logic and daily situation which supported a stunning rework from chicago-based, detroit-born producer alex israel, deadly poison continues to march on in gritty, idiosyncratic fashion only this time fractioning off and multiplying into four distinct, yet symbiotic floor workouts. on the a-side hired guns kicks off with no-holds barred, full-on weighty bass weaponry before grab them back in reins things in, just a little: a dystopic soundtrack full of clanging machines rung through with the filmy dread of a waning humanity. on the b-side concern continues in plain rude as distorted vocals are twisted into evil barks and plied with itchy hats to warning chimes and a bounding bassline in this weird and wonky builder. down and dirty then concludes—as the title suggests—in deep, raw analogue terrain. having already caught the attention of people like blawan, rivet and brendon moeller, deadly poison consolidates sanys skills as a one to watch maker of provocative, sensitive and fiercely independent dance music.

our second release of 2013 comes from lovers rights, the glasgow based-trio featuring members of golden teacher, silk cut & dam mantle. on this, their debut release for high sheen, they have laid down 4 killer house cuts spawned from improvisation heavy, free flowing electronic jams and completed with painstaking attention to detail. from the raw, rolling subs of urn to the complex multi textured synth patterns of mt. florida, each track has its own individual identity all the while working together within the cohesive whole of the ep. this is electronic dance music built with dancefloor freakouts in mind and we absolutely love it. the 12 inch comes packaged in a twice hand screen printed, roughcast sleeve, designed by sam bellacosa.

next up on local talk we got a raw peak hour jam from liverpool producer dale howard (lost my dog, large, morris/audio, off rec). there is nothing light or fluffy about these tracks, its just dirty straight up house music with a dark 90s basement feel. for the main track we actually chose the dub version of throwback over of the original mix. we just thought this version was soooo freakin raw even though its more stripped than the original version. you’ll see what we mean when you drop it in the club! the second track in out goes along the same house theories as throwback with jackin beats and deep chords that will do wonders in any authentic house basement. all in all, a might fine release of classic local talk house music. enjoy!

it has been 10-years of blood, sweat & tears. perhaps that is what fuels their grunge tech energy. bringing madd chaise back to the fore the oliverwho factory serve up some spiced up oldies (rain 5th wave remastered & touch me remix) along with the new bonus feature 2morrow. just the way we like it. deep, dirty and raw detroit house!

for our third release, we are joining forces with bristol stalwart - kowton - finding the link between two genres that are very close to our hearts - grime & techno. built as an ode to ruff sqwads raw 2 da core, kowton is able to build up and take down the rough and rugged aesthetic that is found within both genres in just over 5 minutes. on the flip, taking on the original is blawan and pariahs collaborative project - karenn (sheworksthelongnights). keeping true to the spirit of uk techno, they manage to translate the raw and grimey quality of the original through a heap of analogue gear, all in one take.

limitiert auf 150 stück und handnummeriert! ich mag musik nur wenn sie frickelt, könnte man klangscheiben unterstellen. ach was, echtes liebhabertun, was das label da seit jeher veranstaltet. so geht es wohl kaum konsequenter, als dass man zum 30. jubiläumsrelease mit einem proper vinyl die untenrum-funky- gemeinde beherzt & technoid in die arme nimmt. in zeiten wo mp3-stick & sync-button echte dj-kultur zu zerstören droht, ist das eine ansage bester güte zum medium nummer 1 in sachen Ästhetik der tonverewigung. anfassen, rühren, servieren, schmecken und wieder von vorn. mit dieser vÖ. tritt das label den beweis an, dass der zacki-schnipp sound, der einst irgendwie in einem großen fass von billig-fuselwodka mit dem etikett minimal ersoff, keine patina angesetzt hat. im gegenteil leute, das kommt wieder und besser. denn irgendwann hat es sich ausgedeephoust und ausgepopt mit billigedits und ringelreihebeats... ach nein, sie ist noch da, diese soundphilosophie, und hat sich, wie auch liebling ark immer wieder beweist, von überfüssigen schnick-schnack-gezischel-ambitionen befreit. so auch hier: raw, deep, dirty, mit vier kratzigen energiebatzen den floor zackig abfüllen. vier frisbee-scheiben, die aus den boxen gedreht kommen, als könne man sie nie auffangen. der kleine mann im ohr und kopf fängt sie aber bestens auf. mit besten empfehlungen: oliver goldt

first pressing in dark red vinyl! in remarkably short time, van bonn has developed a well-deserved reputation as a forward-thinking dub music producer. he is tying up electronic listening music with dance music structures for the german label telrae and trapez since 2011, but his newest invention van bonn01 is another step forward. van bonn records now for the first time provides him with a platform, that is his own. it is a sound laboratory pushing his ideas as well as giving him the possibility to feature like minded people. the first edition on vinyl, comes in dark red with a nice artwork. gradient (cph dub) shows a new side with van bonn, expressing a certain form of industrial & romantic privacy in a very radical way. his epic 12 minute track explores the time and space continuum in ways of symmetry. this is a perfect extension of what we know from various dub techno productions of the past. rich filtered delays balanced with a monotony of a mighty & distant beat, makes it an hypnotic piece of music. gradient in its original version is the more hardish and forceful..companion of the a-side, being more raw an direct. van bonn uses here a lot of fx sounds to build a bubble which perfectly embeds the stomping machine liked beat. the >do not resist the beat< owner milton bradley and artist on prologue (and more) has delivered a remix of >gradient< in his genuine style avoiding commercialism and creating his own atmospheric, claustrophobic, cinematic style of techno. listen here to his remix for van bonn.

innercity records is the new label from mark horsfall (horsey brothers/amenti music/kaluki) and danny stott (aka roland nights - amenti music/lost my dog). the label, based in manchester and launching in early april, will release a series of various artist eps. volume 1 features 6 artists that represent the very best of what the deep house scene has to offer right now - the well established giom features on the vinyl release with dale howard , leigh d oliver and roland nights, while young brazilian star gutto serta and welshman casey lee jones complete the digital release which will follow a month later. mark and danny state, innercity is born out of a raw passion for proper house music. remaining true to the spirit of house music is our primary aim, which does not involve trying to strictly emulate the music of days gone by but finding house music made out of love for the dance floor.

chicago legend jamal moss makes a return to sequencias with two tracks of overdriven angularity in his most jacking incarnation, the sun god. if you know jamal, then you are aware that no other artist has informed electronic rhythm-based music quite like he has. the current crop of raw, low-fi house and techno owes a large share of its existence to his releases under various monikers: hieroglyphic being, ibm, and as one half of africans with mainframes.

slowly but surely spencer parkers work them label has been gaining a deserved reputation as a no nonsense house and techno imprint thanks to releases from the likes of pittsburgh track authority and dana ruh. now it is the turn of the s:vt who serves up one track, basement sweat, complete with a remix, which will then be followed by a separate 12 inch featuring two remixes from arttu. the original track pairs classic, piled-on-top-of-each other claps with a freewheeling melody that runs up and down the scale. the bottom end is streamlined and techno inclined, bringing with it plenty of raw warehouse vibes. the no strings attached mix loses the melody and ups the percussive ante, chopping up and slicing out patterns as that bottom end continues to burrow on.

reverence paying homage to the beloved underground, a prime collective of neo-electronic architects spawn a quintessential four track vanguard. the greatest by drivetrain (detroit, usa) begins gritty and minimal, blossoming into a spectral orchestration of refined vocal samples fused with melodic pads and acid bleeps. the heavy bass line and pounding rhythm keep it moving mercilessly. cloudmaster weed (meaux, fra) utilizes the vocal stylings of goddess stephanie on the raw and sultry >sweet & delicious<. the seductive groove lays the perfect groundwork for a goddess to dream on some of her favorite pleasures. rennie foster (vancouver, can) makes a strong return to soiree with the prolific, deep-tech, > low boxing<. a clever amalgamation of silky vocal samples dropping amidst heavy syncopated acid. lush pads provide the final polishing. j.garcias (detroit, usa) >lost< serves a commanding conclusion. the throbbing rhythm drives alluring female vocal samples thru an infectious late night sizzler. reverence – an absolute and authoritative tribute

adam jay’s “mediastinum ep” is the product of a near death experience turned into an opportunity to create. after experiencing acute trauma to the left lung, the artist was diagnosed with pneumomediastinum, the sounds featured in the production of this record were recorded in the intensive care unit at community east hospital in indianapolis. “inward” is a raw, stripped down stomper filled with anxiety and a pace of purpose. the a2 track, “terrible precision” brings an atmosphere of tension and darkness that drives the ep forward. the synth groove of “chatter” sits atop the recordings of medical monitoring equipment intended to alarm the listener. the unsettling dischord created is contrasted by a powerful low end groove. “concert of the machines” comes with an addictive half time broken beat groove. the warm, effected electric piano work plays off more alert sounds from the hospital room creating a chilled out vibe that is ideal for closing a set. already support from justin berkovi, nigel richards, gayle san, tony rohr, andrei morant, and brian kage.

albinos has now been meaning to open communication channels with the baka pigmy tribe for quite some time, sadly to mixed results… this indeed represents a rather difficult task considering their take on the devil is a tall white man graced with white hair and red eyes! even though the baka people is a peaceful one, the legend goes that if they were to catch that albino devil, they would gut its organs out and turn those into an aphrodisiac concoction. strangely enough, albinos believes that his music just might be the best language to turn those antagonistic feelings into a communion, he even dreams of performing his tunes to the whole tribe, deep within the jungle, surrounded with exotic birds and the most hungry kind of predators! somewhat at times on the verge of irony, his music definitively trades with sketchy, raw and deep emotions, always sincere in the making: always a few steps away from the pre-shaped house and techno idioms, he offers his very own take on dance music, a most peculiar one. solely using old cheap hardware and an antique atari, the tracks at hand are one-take live performances, brutal incarnations of albinos simple virgin vision. as the quest for the baka people goes on, the antinote team is proud to help shed light on the journey of this obscure producer hailing from the grand north.
