this voyage starts … in deep euphoria! consistent with the previous aesthetic audio releases, yasuo satos (japan) formula for the number 13 release from aesthetic audio is an wonderful rollercoaster of deepness, raw substance and timeless music that clearly will keep heads nodding … can you see the light?

mysterious newcomer jamie blanco displays a clear skill in assembling the kind of raw, atmospheric late 80’s chicago house so close to our hearts - the kind of late night jams which can just as easily roll in and out of string drenched disco cuts as they can moments of strobe-lit intensity. beautifully executed, and another sureshot from cynic!

after the success leonid neverminds light is here ep, we invited a few artists to reinterpret and reshape leonids work. first up is dutch duo duijn & douglas, who already released on nowar, who took on thymus stimulator and turned it into a deep and funky time bomb. very basic and strongly efficient grooves layered with riffs and counter-riffs, making you hooked instantly. a wonderful hip-shaker! on the flipside detroits kris wadsworth, with solid releases on nrk and boe recordings, applied a more machine funk approach turning feel into a deep jack workout with leonids original dreamy sounds enveloping kriss rawness. finally miles sagnia, whose releases on his own atmospheric existence and aesthetic audio prove to be timeless gems, also combined the raw and the soulful. a true deep house gem with funky basslines, straightforward beats and a sweet deep almost detroit techy vibe.

hotflush presents a special collaboration between two modern-day techno innovators: paul woolford and psycatron. both maintaining an influential discography on labels such as planet e, intimacy, tresor, and bedrock, they have come together to produce >stolen<, a nine-minute techno excursion. utilising relentless, throbbing percussion that sizzles over growling, acidic synthesis and carefully placed samples, its presented in three distinct versions, introducing filter-swept chords in the dub mix, and an even deeper submersion in the second dub mix that perfectly eclipses the raw temperament of the original.

the kdms is a underground-supergroup. englands no.1 indie - disco diva kathy diamond (permanent vacation, eskimo, moodmusic) and maximilian skiba from londons rekids label (solo album coming up soon) teamed up to do a real band. the result are some very crisp, catchy but raw house tunes with a great pop appeal. kathys unique voice that combines soul-funk background with a very own timbre meets max’s way of contemporary electronic production. he does it like prince: playing all the guitars, drums, bass and keyboards alone. and then reworking it on the computer. check the amazing morgan geist remix!

chicagos ricardo miranda makes his debut for the ace stilove4music label, maintaining a fine year in which he has already dropped some serious heat on rush hour sub-label hour house is your rush and his own noble square imprint. title track >102point7< is all jagged synths, throbbing arpeggios, slashing claps and a rolling acid groove, marking it out as one of his most incendiary productions to date. on the flip >rotary cells< is deeper still, a 909-led jacker with undulating layers of sub bass augmented by a wonderfully woozy vocal which extols the virtues of true chicago house. this is followed by >greenline<, a stripped back jam with scuttling hats and the kind of paranoid synth melody that wouldnt sound out of place in jeff mills something in the sky series. this is dark, raw, pulsating dance music - highly recommended.

there are still around, real environmentalists for whom the term preservation means more than just a trend. paul-david rollmann alias even-tuell belongs with his artistic productions (among other things, one of the creators of the enthusiast label workshop) to the class of those who answer the call for effective art, design and indulgence. the maxim is always the free will, emancipated from szperfluous market mechanics and the falsehoods of the zeitgeist. for musik krause, his activity is recorded on 2 releases. a split with metaboman and a formidable remix for ian simmonds adorn the catalog. with his quasi-first complete musik krause ep he shows a raw and coarse club music sound without losing even a breath of the aesthetic and compelled movement. all three pieces sound as if they were crafted from centuries old tools, in the way that his music is filtered through the machines humanizedm discharged in a kind of essential honesty.

the a-side contains acid snow. a raw, leftfield acid house ode to new york in 2011, acid snow speaks to the young men with a future and tells them not to delay, the city is waiting. fuelled by classic 303 tweak and propulsive analog drums, acid snow plateaus in a guitar-heavy finale that conjures the spirit of the citys no wave sound – acid snow is no wave house, no house, acid rock, acid not acid, armando on no new york, sonic youth at the warehouse in chicago. out of love for the future, it lays down dynamite on the cornerstone of tradition.

abdulla all of a sudden appeared on the scene with his label... and a couple months later he pops by again with this 2nd twelve. trippy deep gritty techno tracks from this guy thats clearly not aiming to be the next most popular producer in the resident advisor poll. uncompromising tracks that must be played out loud in a dark basement style setting with loads of smoke and strobo. raw techno just as we like it!

komisch welcomes a new act for its ninth release. tricaustic is a collaboration between longstanding dublin techno djs sunil sharpe and jon hussey, and they bring their experience to bear on these raw and distinctive techno tracks

flying donkey music, after the first two releases by samuel l session and kirk degiorgio got the respect as one of the new more interesting labels in the underground stream. as third release we can appreciate the homeboy claudio mates m2g4: he shows us something new and different, which is hard to catalogue, just a techno/house track or a simple piece of electronic music. tribute mix by claudio mate is a perfect journey in deep, dark, emotional, emotive lands within an amazing epic ending with guitars played by luca petrosino (an italian guitar talent). orlando voorn really doesnt need any introduction: his deep divine mix is the perfect mix and balance between raw grooves, melodies and solid bassline like his usual trademark. its perfect for dancefloor people who loves berghain or fabric. david hausdorf is a classical musician from the munich philharmonic orchestra but he is also well known for his old works on labels such as synaptic waves, styrax leaves, salo, lifetime music.

here comes, well, certainly not the record to turn your party upside down. the first lurker release brings two raw and sluggish instrumental rides through deep slowmotion territory. young talent babok shows us how to move that midnineties downbeat spirit into an adequate place for 2011, his mysterious djurh combines a strongly fragmented rhythm section and a distracted piano from somwhere below.
on small window, nic & jaq manage to hold the balance between early fall romantics and mid winter darkness,reaching the goosebump-o-meter s full scale with an intense samplesound and a thick drumset.

the third ep from laak on austere is very much in the same vein as the labels ethos – raw, profound underground house music! with the past releases on austere getting props from players such as jus ed, keith worthy, steven tang, anton zap, malcolm moore (altered moods), deep space orchestra, homepark, pjotr (ethereal sound), area/m50 (wave) and dj spider, this ep will not disappoint the heads so dont sleep on this!

>hoping for the invisible to ignite< was recorded and mixed between paris, normandy (fr) and saint-margaret of antioch church in leeds (uk), these four haunting orchestral pieces were performed in the studio live, and re-recorded using a wall of sound process, adding the natural reverb of the church to the raw tracks. the dvd includes the super 8/16mm black&white film >as true as troilus< by jayne amara ross & a bonus live performance shot by alain grodard & rod maurice during the festival des nouveaux arts sacres at saint-eustache church in paris.

second episode of the lifes track saga reach the top of a new intergalactic dimension! the spiritual and cosmic attitude of the faboulous italian live duo this time gets, on a1, more techy, hypnotic, mind-penetrating and aggressive, while a2 shows a fresh mysterious, sexy and holistic reinterpretaion of some of the best oldschool chicago house made by artist like virgo four. on b1 instead youll find some raw and melancholic keys a la glenn underground style with a touch of percussive madness and b2 ends up the ep with a trascendental and estatic boogie tech funk tune dense of trancier gentleness and tantric expressionism.

after a smash debut release that had house heads from around the globe taking notice, no matter what records is back with a vengeance for their second release. this time around label co-founder alex agore takes the lead with 4 tracks of raw underground house deepness that channels the energy and spirit from dance floors of long ago.

there are a number of producers who are known for being prolific, roska, cooly g, benga to name a few, and now gerry read can be added to that list. the cambridgeshire producer has only a handful of actual releases to his name, but a vault of hundreds. we can well imagine his hardrive straining from the sheer velocity of ideas that he sends our way. raw, urgent and frequently off kilter, gerrys production challenges your ears but always manages to lock in the groove.

possibly the biggest release on off in 2011 so far! off 26 introduces two new talents to the label: berlin-based friends daniel dexter and nhan solo. they deliver >our thang<, a dead-funky discofied summer tune, based on samples which all lovers of 90ies hiphop will dearly remember. on the flip side, labelowner andre crom & martin dawson deliver a deeper, more linear interpretation, based around a mighty bassline and an epic slowdown in the main break. second remix comes from luca lozano & sacha robotti, who score with a raw and toolish groove, adding further elements of the sampled song and additional sweet vocals.

this pressing with printed paper is limited to 100 copies in a coloured vinyl ... after his last house party, adalberto is back on the way to school to perform his homework on the box called 909 ...nothing more - nothing less than raw deep-, acid- and ghetto-houze can be expected...

this pressing with printed paper is limited to 100 copies in black vinyl ... after his last house party, adalberto is back on the way to school to perform his homework on the box called 909 ...nothing more - nothing less than raw deep-, acid- and ghetto-houze can be expected...

out 26th of sept. mikkel metals new tartelet ep travels deep into the spectral voids of space. empyrean pads and raw drums reverberate in our ear meatus on cassini -soft kicks with shrill claps and a prodding bassline bringing back memories of mikkel metals earlier dubby excursions. phasing, relentless, and a favourite in the early hours of both the night and morning, cassini has everything needed to become a mainstay for all djs brave enough to venture beyond our known realms. mazurski, a galaxy of beaming details and radiant synthlines colour it deep, while the echoes of light gone by envelops the transient listener. following on the same side is the dub version (vinyl only), outlined by a scrapping kick, filtering sequences of sonic waveforms and abraded sub-basslines. all this rough beauty is fully submerged in a crystal pond of levitating strings and sparkling monotones. these cuts will transport you beyond, both in front of properly charged sound systems and laptop-powered earphones. referencing both the recently resurrected new age wave and the analogue power of london, mikkel metal has brought a completely new dimension to the tartelet universe, the quality is undeniable, the construction timeless and the foot-tapping ensured, so get floating.

walls alessio natalizia and sam willis dont deal in perfect wholes. the kompakt duo return swiftly on the back of 2010 s critically lauded self titled debut, an album that picked up mojos coveted electronic album of the year, featured in nmes end-of-year lists, not to mention winning fans such as of jamie xx, caribou, james holden and impressing us trio battles so much that they have invited the pair on tour around the us this coming october. yet it isnt these admittedly impressive accolades that make the announcement of second lp >coracle< such an anticipated one, what makes walls so alluring is the fully immersive experience of their mellifluous electronica – reaching out far and wide to pull influences sonic, emotional and theoretical together into patterns of blissful phantasmagoria. taking their debut as the prototype, willis and natalizia have taken those initial early-sunrise evocations and pushed them to even more grandiose expanse.<br /including cd version of this album.

francois x returns to the deeply rooted house label for his third record and we are very pleased to hear how he developped his style! code red has a great classic techno vibe, while haunted is an acid intriguing deep and dark track. proper techno! bonus comes on the flip side with the marcel dettmann remix of code red. his version is stripped down dark and pumping in his unique and raw and intense berghain style!

highly recommended! after the celebrated single >retro vogue<, restoration strikes back with a 4 track e.p. designed to blast the planetary sound systems. bombproof analogue music produced during wild sessions at the restoration headquarters.
on side a, blawan (r&s records), one of the most talented u.k youngsters, join the forces of the analogue cops. a1 is an analogue hand grenade: spacey, smashing, twisted. a2 is an heavy, jacky house excursion with delightful piano chords over solid raw beats.
on side b, mister ryan elliott (ghostly / ostgut ton) visits the analogue cops and the result is impressive. b1 is a forthright house track with a techno attitude, a sensual vocal hook runs over an huge bass drum with sharp hi-hats. b2 is an hard driving minimalistic sci-fi trip, dancefloor oriented but fast paced from trends.

killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

modernista make a very welcome return after dropping their now classic debut 12 on us last year the architect of that raw late 80s machine music homage, paul bennett is back in charge here one of pauls formative influences during his youth was the music made by the first wave of techno producers from detroit. this release attempts to bring back some of the drama and pure funk of that sound. electronic music for the head, heart and feet. immaculately programmed maydayesque drum machines, emotive & expansive pitch bent synths, thundering low frequencies and clanks galore. this is a supercharged rewiring of the detroit blueprint in three startlingly well executed flavours.

vakula weighs in once again with the raw, untouchable and emotional warehouse music. detroit and chicago serve as only reference points, ukraine acts as the surreal catalyst. you know the drill with these hand-stamped shevchenko 12s ... be fast as there s no repress! mastered strictly for vinyl at 45rpm

cco aka contra commumem opinionem has released 2 eps on the chicago based label mathematics that were played a lot at plak office. we have been even more amazed to meet him at zukunft club in zürich … the young talented producer is not from the windy city but from our lovely sweetzerland! soo here we go with 2 slices of raw chicago techno/house carefully crafted & extended for plak: the moody atmosphere of >structural constraints< will fly you far far away, on the flip side >structural drift< is a spiritual momentum with a liquid 303 lead and sensual pads for your chemical sunday therapy. this piece of wax is an analog affair, no software!

b-tracks, aka soren jahan & john barera release their debut ep on their new imprint. the two musicians and record collectors worked together to make >specialize<, a rolling house cut made for the dancefoor & road tested at their gigs. with >day to night<, they go deep with a warm and melodic tune that still makes you get up. their rough and ready production style continues to shine in house workout >jump on it<.
on the flip, >progress< is a relentless techno cut with a raw analog sound and a mind of its own. finishing off the record is >your love<, a climactic and synth driven track in the spirit of early electronic dance music.

supported by: tim toh, oskar offermann & edward, shaddy foul&sunk, boris hotton, andy weid, hunee,.. frank is back for another round. this time its frank music head poncho johannes delivering two heavy tracks for your dancefloor. we got a classic double-a side, personally stamped in a basement and limited as sunny days last summer. first there is >rough rough raw< ... well its rough and its rough and its sort of raw. dubby vocoders, 909, rave breaks, you name it! second is -way out of sight- which got a fuzzy bassline, little trance moments for maximum party pleasure and some more dirtness in between. this is most probably slammin muscle house for skinny jeans boys. to sum things up: basement is not a crime! our good friend tim says: a few days ago i listened to an old cassette from the year 2000. >roughroughraw< really contains the spirit of this time. the right tune to start taking some >e<s again, smoking a joint and gettin nuts on a tiny dirty dancefloor. underground ish for sure... and same for >way out of sight< especially the first chord of that synth, which reminds me on michael jacksons >thriller<. thank you and turn that swagger on!

with this release gogo music once more brings a hot new talent to the light and delivers a great package of all-embracing sonic pleasure. already support from jimpster, culoe de song, rocco, show b, tony humphries & jacko, roog, greg fenton

the -my initial grooves- ep is shane linehan s debut wax cut on his own -basic groove recordings- imprint. here he offers two dancefloor tracks which both take influence from early us vibes. -hidden harmony- pays homage to the new york sound, with rough scattered beats and moving chords. -make it a ritual- boasts raw, basic drums. this track is a slightly darker number, with a deep, tracky groove.
