parts i & ii of friday 14th were previously released on french label astrolab but these two new versions evolved through playing the track in our live set. while in la last year, we were asked to go into the studio and record something... this is what came from that session. also on the release is a great dubby-proto-house remix from roots unit, and most excellent it is too.

live at robert johnson is proud to present a new record by one of its most revered family members: roman flügel. a long-term companion of ramona and already offering records like on the balcony (solyent green, playhouse 041, 2000) to her praise in a very early stage, roman dedicates novel sound research findings to her young and boisterous label. and what a bass heavy beauty he created!

this debut lp by innergaze is chock full of rugged hand played analog synths lines, primitive drum machines, haunting vocals, and psychic jewelry. call it synthwave, call it punk, call it metaphysical body music or at this juncture whatever one sees fit, but this duos music goes beyond naming names for the sake of it. from the freaky, unrelenting opener >no shame< to the chris & cosey-esque >la la la<, this record creates many aural worlds to inhabit and explore. the title track >we are strange loops< bubbles at a slow, hazy drug induced bpm, while >illusions<, with its distorted almost guitar-like synth lines and stripped down 808 programming, brings things right back to the dance floor. the ideas and feelings executed here are a direct outpouring of what happens when the machines are turned on, played and recorded.

white label/stamped repress! the second release on the m>o>s record label could have been part of hollands rich techno-history, if released when the tracks where made. dating back as early as 1993, these two tracks come straight out of a plastic bag full of sa90 tapes in ross154s bathroom (thats where he plays his music loud) and a cardboard box filled with cassettes rediscovered while moving aroy dee into his way too expensive spacious loft in the historical centre of amsterdam.

a step back to those days... we are gearing up for the coming of spring and have the perfect record to kick the sunny season into full motion!

remember your first time at a rave? of course you don’t. and if you do, you either did it wrong or you’re a liar. with the latest installment of the 7777 onslaught, jared wilson aims to remind you of a time you dont remember. this ep is a souvenir back in time. beyond the zero and beyond the one and back into the analog bringing back memories you never had and experiences you never felt. paris massacre is reminiscent of a time when function mattered more than form and fashion, when sound systems and no lighting took precedence over state of the art fashion shows and laptop djs. its not nostalgic by any stretch of the word, though. how can one be nostalgic for a time they cant recall? the flip of the record is the wonderful >scmocid<, a wonderful reexamination of what it means to work a 303 to near death.

with 2009s magnificiently deep >cone ep< raudive aka oliver ho became an integral part of the ever brilliant macro family. the man is in there for a reason. now he drops one of macros most dancefloor-centered, yet distinctively future forward outings so far. >paper< - the chord, the bass, the strings! all deepness ingredients are there and it would be just classic if it wasnt raudive in control, whose chord is rather acoustic than synthetic, whose strings are rather xenakis than detroit - and whose bassline is just pumping genius blasting any reference system. but its a double pack of excessive excellence. >brittle< is papers evil sister and a giant step in groove design, throwing the thrills of the unknown right at your dancefloor. its repetitious, maniacal vexation patterns put any record to shame that has ever been called hypnotic. 2010 is right here. the ep is rounded off with the shimmering >sienna< - a no-beat melodic variaton set against the warmth of grainy crackle. one of the most thrilling releases by one of the most thrilling labels

the mole is back on musique risquée with his 3rd ep to date called dreamer keep on dreaming. each track on this record is a story about dreams. dreamer is this weird one you cant get rid of, the with the annoying voice following you around everywhere. oh my stomach is the mysterious black & white dream, with cigar reek and bad whiskey breath. last ditch is the action packed one, with its car chase and the usual neverending sex scene at the end. and usually after, you wake up and the record is over.

bron, a mysterious giant from the plains of canadas sub arctic region, comes out of nowhere with danksouls second release great white north. brons debut record is a truly northern take on the infectious grooves of micro house. the title track, great white north, is a jacked-up home grown classic that has been garnering a cult-like following in canada since its inception a couple years back. french avant-garde house producer le k provides a heavy handed remix, which will surely occupy a permanent space in record boxes and play lists across the globe. bron polishes off this ep with the bouncy beats and bass of splash back, followed by the soulful space hop of postcards from the prairies

we lost track of rocco branco nearly 5 years ago. no >goodbye<, nothing, he simply vanished off the grid. a few days ago, mr. branco staggered into the hirsch camp, smelling of sex and jaegermeister, no explanation. no apologies. rocco simply handed over two tracks, turned around, and walked away... diamant captures the sex of a one-night stand. a metaphysical launch pad of selfindulgence. no compromises, purely physical, firm and purposeful – precisely how we like our techno. gibbon depicts sex with a lover – reminiscent of gratifications past. familiar, nubile and polished a mastered motion of lustful appetite. in roccos return, we find a record of lifes carnal moments. good hunting!

bon & rau are rainy citys newcomer jacques bon and christopher rau. jacques is originally from paris and takes care of the smallville recordstore in la cité d amour. he fell in love with hamburg though when he first came there and calls st. pauli a home since a little while now. while hanging at smallville record store in hamburg, he met christopher rau, who blew away the whole smallville crew with his > ne travaillez jamais< on dérive records in 2008 and had his smallville debut with >childhood< on smallville 16. the youngsters teamed up as bon & rau and we are proud to present the 12inch debut of another smallville dreamteam. cloverleaf days was already presented on the smallvilles label compilation cd -and suddenly its morning-, that gained huge reputation last year- but it more than deserved an appearance on 12inch now. a reduced groove that takes you to somewhere unsearchable. the b-side presents two versions of brothers & sisters- a modern house-anthem that twists into your ears with a subtle melody. the poodle dub on b2 rounds up a perfect 12inch with a tribute to hamburgs finest golden pudel club. three tracks that can definitely make the moment on the dancefloor.

on this record we have the honour to present:
andres garcia with >lembran<
andres garcia produces electronic music. &#8232,,,everywhere from minimal techno to the open waters of cinematic sound.&#8232,,, everything for the dancefloor, the theatrical stage, the silver screen and your listening pleasure.
dandy jack & the metronome allstars with >39 steps<:
dandy jack is maybe better known for his incredible energetic live appearances, shaking crowds all around and turning audiences into a non-stop atmospherical body wave. together with other artists (like for the memorable narod niki 1st public concert at mutek 2003) or alone, in small clubs or bigger events, the german-latin effect has nothing to proove, just power to give.

almost one year after the first release derive schallplatten releases the second record. thats quite a long time. but however, haste makes waste and even more when its about some passionate drifters!

laying low in the cut after the much lauded >recession vol.1< mix album and his wrily-titled futuristic crossover >euro dance hit<, caravan label head honcho julian smith aka october returns from deep studio retreat with possibly his best, certainly most forward thinking dance floor record to date. as always october takes a big slice of his inspiration from the detroit techno sound of the 80s and early 90s which is clearly evident on the second cut on this plate in particular. however you simply cannot ignore his perhaps more euro-centric dub tendencies and broken-beat rhythm principles that always inform his overall composition and production ethos.

first gimme! gimme! release featuring can t live without your love by tamiko jones and the super rare cosmic classic this man by phill & friends band. “can’t live without your love” was popularised by david mancuso s loft cd/lp. originally released in 1979, it’s considered a huge influence as an electronic-disco record and is a massive chicago favourite. this record has been heavily sought after for some time and played by larry levan, ron hardy, gene hunt, frankie knuckles, …… „this man“ was a huge track with dj baldelli at cosmic when it was released in 1980 and it has been top of many collectors wants lists for a long time. very rare and very expensive, this sleazy downtempo rock/dub disco cut really is one of those extraordinary once heard never forgotten tracks.

nice price deal !!! expanding on the success of forward strategy group, label boss smear has fashioned the new minimalist outfit, retail & leisure, with a new addition of the fsg corporate family. retail & leisure is in many ways the polar opposite of fsg, ditching their trademark dense, heavy techno in favour of simplicity, space and a more systematic approach to composition. side a strips right down to the bare essentials, leaving little more than an ice-cold rhythm, bleep and hiss, creating a deep mix-tool for fans of artists such as mika vainio and sleeparchive. the b side features a remix by fsgs latest recruit adrian ross. mechanical scrapes and clangs mesh with deep, pressing kicks to create a sound which is dense and impenetrable. ross is a unique entity in techno: with a genuine outsiders take on the genre, he is an exciting prospect and a great asset to the group. the final track is r&ls take on dubstep, with dry, chalky percussion, discordant siren and churning bass. snares spin, shuffle and shatter against the tracks main, oppressive rhythms. the record ends with some valuable advice on where one should position ones feet
