debut lp from press charges produced by sunken foal (planet-mu). vintage synths and analogue drum machines backing sampled smokey robinson acapellas. subverted harmonies, dancing arpeggios and laid back snapping rhythms underpinning some cautious pads and echoing vocals.

after the primal scream, janzon is about to bring germanys motorcity stuttgart back to the map of real quality techno with a bunch of stories – hidden in mysterious soundspaces. twisted dust faces the evil and the brave into two trippy and energetic primetime tracks with futuristic aesthetic on the a-side, as well as the magic of funkiness and dark rituals on the b-side. a coherent ep, between different atmospheres on the dancefloor and emotions in the art galleries.

jay ka aka kogui for his second release. real deep house music.

as we move into a new year, again start the cogs of labels and artists around the world, this is certainly the case for disc over music as they bring us their first release of 2015. high off the back of exquisite releases in 2014 from luca lozano & mr. ho and nicson, disc over’s first installment of 2015 comes from label head tim green - a three track ep bursting with two classic tg productions and grooves which is then given another dimension with a remix from the talented german born producer borrowed identity. the ep kicks off with the aptly named ‘scar’ - a track which when heard, truly makes it mark. it sets the tone for the rest of the ep with it’s prominent bassline and haunting howls whilst dreamlike keys bounce and float above. track two, ‘we thought’ is taken down a gear but keeps all of the groove built from ‘scar’. it begins with a simple trademark tg bassline and is allied with light and free singular keys. the listener is then joined by vocals which along with the previous elements take you on a real trip. borrowed identity speeds things up right away with his remix of ‘we thought’. the track is morphed into a dancefloor groove with the comforting vocals darkened, cut and reworked on top of an unpredictable and fluctuating bassline. managing to keep the identity of tim’s original the track becomes something completely different and certainly makes you feel you want to take the trip

first off, we have two brothers (convenient, right) from italy who sent us a killer demo we simply couldn t refuse: the lion brothers. up next is the true veteran: lemakuhlar, who s finally back with a fresh dose of his awesome music. this one s a real gem, finally available after spending many years as an exclusive in maxim s sets. audio city soul is the new alter ego of one of our favourite artists, who s ready to take it to the next level. last but not least, maxim lany seals the deal with a new track called groot feest , which is dutch for big party... go figure!

limited 10 x 12 inch box set on yellow vinyl. dont call it a sequel, its just a next step! the sound of belgium digs deeper in our countrys rich soil for fierce beats, endless grooves and sonic ecstasy. the movie, the music, the book: history in the making.

for its 52th release, be as one has picked the rising italian talent marco faraone, with a 4 tracks ep, that showcases different takes of marco’s approach to techno. the ep title track restrictions opens the 12inch with a dark, fast-paced groove and hypnotic vocal, a real treat for the authentic techno players. with day 20 marco ravels into the dub techno forest, with classic dub elements that set the tone to a deeper mood. voices from the sea follows up with a more festive approach, a big room anthem that keeps the dark vibe on the release. for the vinyl heads, an exclusive treat for the 12inch its early morning, getting a due vinyl pressing after being featured exclusively on the 2013 live compilation by shlomi aber

nebraska is someone who’s tracks we’ve been loving for a good few years now and finally managed to pin him down for a release here on delusions of grandeur. the uk producer is something of an enigma, and despite some amazing releases on rush hour still remains resolutely underground and seems to keep his releases to a minimum, focusing on keeping the quality high rather than flooding the market with average material. once again, he brings the real deal with three drum-heavy warehouse jams to nice-up the dancefloor. aw-right (mute version) sets the tone with a raw house groove that keeps things stripped to the bare minimum. a bouncing bassline and rattling percussion break help to define the track but it’s the dusty, dubby approach to the mix which really makes the track shine. next up we have warp and weft, a similar sounding track but by dropping the bpm’s nebraska has created a sublime low-slung, bumpy groove to really move to. flipping over we’re treated to the brilliant eighty eights which will have you nodding your head like the churchill’s dog before you can say ‘looped up piano and bass one bar groove repeated for over eight and a half minutes shouldn’t work should it?’

impossibly rare sweet soul & funk from the vaults of miami s bold records (a subsidiary of the mighty t.k. disco label). there s scant information on reid inc as a group but the album boasts some gorgeous soulful melodies from the all female personnel and features stellar string & horn arrangements from miami studio stalwart mike lewis (blowfly, kc & the sunshine band, latimore, fern kinney) & is produced by the mighty clarence reid who has written, recorded & produced too many records to list here (betty wright, wilson pickett, dusty springfield, bobby byrd, gwen mccrae) throughout his 50+ year career. this is a real rarity, a record that fetches top, top dollar ($500 plus) on-line among soul, funk & disco aficionados. -what am i gonna do- has been comped numerous times but this is the first time the whole lp has been re-mastered & re-issued on vinyl (having previously only been re-released on cd in japan) brought to you in conjunction & with the permission of t.k. disco / henry stone music, miami usa.

with a career spanning over twenty-five years and releases across strictly rhythm, kingstreet records and real tone to name a few, tommy bones’ new ‘black concept’ ep brings two tracks that give a modern edge to the classic soulful house sound. ‘black concept’ has a soothing, almost serene sound with the use of jazz influenced instrumental sample but also a beat that allows it to remain predominantly house track. ‘put it on you’ is up-tempo with more of a club designed sound, the vocal of lydia rhodes has an almost seductive sound and the varied tempo gives a sound for the underground dancefloor.

2015 repress !

noir music is touching another classic to be refreshed for 2012. the track by hollis p monroe is a real alltime house hit originally released on stickman in 1997. newest vibes are added by subb-an (crosstown rebels, saved), larse (known for his hits >the more i want< and >so long<), laura jones (leftroom, visionquest) and sis (cecille, get physical) who just turned it into a 12 minutes techno monster

a couple of years into honing their skills in the studio and behind the booths, the very dynamic duo known as andhim returns to get physical to present us with ‘spayce, the latest specimen of their self-christened super house genre. raised on a steady diet of hip hop and jazz, the cologne-native pair have proven to many far and wide that they are entertainers at heart and envelope-pushers by nature. taking turntables where they seldom go to turn them into instruments, as well as the heavy use of samples and real-world inspiration to set their own creations apart, its fair to say that ‘spayce is just another example of the duos eclectic, eccentric inclinations. two tracks long and spanning from dance floor epic to quirky by way of some particular glitch, piano work and musical hiccups, ‘spayce ep is a very sweet addition to an already original discography.

ah, yes! finally some real flavours to sink our teeth into. the nose is truly a work of art. first the classic peaty smoke but so distinctly understated. confident in it s maturity. the salty pineapple citrus is next coupled with a refined lemon- lime toffee tartness. and finally a whiff of fresh cucumber sprinkled with the loveliest of white pepper. oh, yes. this is what we’ve been waiting for! the creamy mouthfeel is laced with intense black peppers but then mellows out to give you honey, lemon and chocolate with a dash of tobacco. the long peppery finish is fruity with a hint of limestone. these are the classic flavours that made linkwood one of the top distilleries and expressions should be on your list of malts to try before you die.

sometimes it takes a little longer until things happen. talking the conjunctional studio joint of martin landsky and marco resmann entitled lava, now released under their collaborational project landsky & resmann, this single is one that has been overdue for quite a while and for a reason. a reason and shared history that essentially helped to shape and add momentum to marco resmanns career at an early stage a good 13 years ago when he wasnt even known under his real name but used the artistic alias phage dj- and production-wise.

a club in the parthenon basement where you cant see in front of you, you lose yourself as the antipodean heat beat surrounds you. this is the latest imagination of melbourne-based band leader nicolaas oogjes. marrying into a greek family (his wife contributes spoken word on two tracks), oogjes became fixated with hellenic culture and its impact on humanity, prompting his rotating cult of collective consciousness musicians no zu to spiral deeper into their celebration of global rhythm and percussion. their even weirder, sparser and more synth driven sound is the result of creative exchanges with home loan records ceo michael ozone, who helped them realise the strange and complete world of medusa music.

portia monique really is something special. travelling far and wide in pursuit of her musical dreams, the young, seriously talented singer-songwriter has built herself upon a dazzlingly unique voice with something very real to say. her self entitled debut album is a perfect summary of that. produced by reel people, it is the next step of her amazing journey.

this 10 inch contains 2 unreleased vinyl versions in extended mixes that can make your day. the merits of van bonns releases on telrae, trapez and on van bonn records you can find in his new release -unbound-. the attractiveness of repetition has made its way into this ep... and it was a good choice. we kick off with -king-, a track which is a cross breed of a stubborn beat and a dub techno feeling showcasing a melodic intermezzi that flies in and out with a mind of its own. more minimalistic than most of the tracks you know from him, it includes unexpected half baked sounds you would not expect from van bonn. on the other hand the epic 10 minute monster -distinct- is a real dub techno giant and a soundtrack at the same time... with beats that take you by the hand.

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.
