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!

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.

fade to mind is a both a record label and a movement, a series of club nights and cooperative projects in music, visual art, video and apparel. led by los angeles based kingdom, fade to mind is an injection of the personal back into contemporary club music. sparked by kingdoms longstanding relationships with dallas dj/producer prince william, la-based nguzunguzu and total freedom, as well londons night slugs collective (to which fade to mind will operate as a sister label), fade to mind marks a dramatic genesis of collaboration between the uk and american undergrounds.

>rdjcs5<, a new 4-track 12-inch ep by solvent, is the result. this is suction022. each and every sound on this record came from rdj’s old cs5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by solvent over the course of several months. the limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge, but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synthnerdery, rdjcs5 speaks more of solvents musical kinship to thee analord. opening track >curtains< bears similarity to early rephlex signing bochum welt, while >radiator<, >mould<, and >tassels< each contain hallmarks of the classic afx sound. at the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably solvent. the 12 inch vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies, in brown chipboard sleeve with sticker, and also contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side b. entitled >sandpaper<, this cut will be individually hand-etched by solvent, for a 1-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience.

after 2 years of throwing events in new york, stranjjur nycs next logical step was to move on to a more international platform. after introducing artists such as milton jackson, carlo lio, spencer parker, manik, till von sein, alex niggemann, pezzner and many others to the big apple, stranjjurs kev obrien (alongside label partner andy inelli) have decided to carry on the same a&r principals that made the events a success over to stranjjurs newest venture: a fully-fledged record label. the new brooklyn-based label has decided to hit the ground running with its debut ep coming from hot italian duo, lula circus. having also just recently been signed to one of americas hottest labels, culprit, its safe to say that the lula boys (danilo and sergio) are on the cusp of becoming stars of the underground dance scene. the vinyl edition of the miami vices ep features two amazing original tunes from lula circus, including title track, miami vice, which takes aim at the dance floor with a full arsenal of heavy bass and a powerful disco-inspired hook that instantly grabs a hold of the soul and refuses to let go. ovum and hot natured wonder-kid, manik, delivers a highly addictive remix, by slicing the main hook up, while supporting it with an insanely groovy bass line. on the b-side is pumpin groovin moovin, a future-funk jam thats carried by a focused low-end groove and catchy vocals. the remix comes courtesy of freeranges (and recent crosstown rebels signee) pezzner, and its one of his biggest remixes ever. this one has been receiving lots of early promo hype, thanks in part to maya jane coles, who included it in her bbc radio essential mix earlier this month. mayas support has helped to create a global whirlwind of anticipation amongst house music aficionados for the release of this incredible ep. the time has finally come for stranjjur imprint to be born!

with private golds newest offering the inimitable cologne producer martin beume has really taken a huge and achingly beautiful step in his songwriting and production. some might know him from releases with connaiseur or brut! records, but this record is miles higher… wisps of detail adorn each song like edible gold flake on a luscious chocolate ganache cake. synths flutter and glide like summer butterflies and even the percussion is precious and clean. this is not to say it is only good for home listening. lead off track solid rubber has a tough and sexy deep house sway with echoes of brazilian bossa nova laid over its more traditionalist chicago house and jazz. lsdeep, has the full dirt stomp necessary for a forbidden tryst, but sneaks in smart samples and emotional filter washes to add unexpected depth. at 105bpm, you might not expect wip catch to fucking groooooove the way it does, but trust me kids, things are getting slower as we are getting older. and it feels great. soaring orchestral strings married with perfectly cut vocal samples are sure to get the more adventurous djs hypnotizing dancefloors like musical svengalis. and when you thought it was all over, axel boman turns in an amazing remix in his instantly recognizable non-traditional style. this dude is a lothario. all hip shake and cooing come-ons, its a reduced house gem that slinks its way into your pants.

the big idea! ahoy sarp yilmaz and sinan kaya. after several eps on various labels now release their debut on simple as that records. the two guys from the big metropolis of istanbul bring us here, two beads which make the sun rise. the two men schaeufler & zovsky (acker records, 3000°) and andre kronert (ostwind, night drive music) each control still in a wonderful remix. even more diversity on this record is thus ensured.

sherard ingram returns to trust with his first release of 2011: misinformation campaign. this is his third ep for the label after bio electronic and social engineering. on this record sherard ingram contrasts his lightning-fast electro-inspired rhythms with lush synth melodies and glistening arpeggios. on occasion more menacing and dystopian moods gain the upper hand, such as on the b-sides >whos watching the watchers< and >defect<. this record is impossible to pigeonhole, refining a style that is unmistakably stingrays own and which has over the past years earned him the respect of the electro, techno, dubstep, electronica, and minimal dnb camps alike.

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.

torontonian quartet, azari & iii have announced their debut self-titled album on turbo recordings / loose lips records / modular. it follows the release of the single >hungry for the power<, which erupted a storm of awe on the underground music scene, and a collaborative track >stay here< with friendly fires in 2010. the record is set to become the sound of a dystopian summer with their innately brooding beat and sordid-pop edge.
azari & iiis unique blend of moody electronica, dark yet hooky vocal choruses and analog-thick rhythms has earned them a hardcore following and sees this album as one of the most-anticipated in the calendar. the four-piece, consisting of producer/musicians dinamo azari and alixander iii with vocalists fritz helder and starving yet full, have crafted a defining sound that relishes in its references while maintaining a future perspective.
from the velvety refrains of >reckless with your love< through to the creeping melancholy of >manhooker< and the unhinged technopera of >undecided<, their album possesses an individual classic-future feel, with trademark lush synthesizations, biting soulful choruss and ominous overtones.

presenting the >cant buy love ep<, wolf + lamb records invite you to enter the visceral world of aquarius heaven. a rhapsody of sonic flow both rough and smooth with heavy doses of sleaze and deviant, lust-filled rap, the aquarius heaven experience is nothing short of electrifying. when brian brewster met dop in paris, 2005, the former reggae, dancehall and hip- hop singer was to undergo an electronic rebirth. during the hours of studio lock-up that followed, tapping into a wealth of musical influences, the arresting sound of aquarius heaven was born. after the outstanding debut >7 days ep< on circus company caught the attention of gadi mizrahi of wolf + lamb whilst in berlin (where brewster is now based), it wasnt long before the label made aquarius part of the crew and the >cant buy love ep< was brought to light. a heady mix of sexually charged house funk, a-side >cant buy love< bumps and grinds down a bassline made of rubber with the heavy depth of brewsters vocals in the driving seat. playful and bold with singer dani sicilianos yearning interruptions, the mood is a twisted fusion of love and filth. already a staple in the sets of soul clap and wolf + lamb, >cant buy love< has all the markings of a cult record in the sex music hall of fame

with his debut release on co-owned smallville label stefan marx presents an exclusive poster collection coated inside a gatefold 12inch cover sleeve. giving the smallville shop and label a visual face since the very beginning stefan marx created hundreds of posters and partyflyers, painted the shopwindows regularly and set up every single record cover. now its the time for himself to release an extraordinary smallville issue in 12inch format. three posters (each has the size of 90 cm x 60 cm) including a first appearance of his band project the dead sea (aka stefan marx, rvds, lawrence and birte löschenkohl). smallville 25 is a collaboration with nieves, the zürich based publishing house of stefan marx and some all-time favorite contributors such as kim gordon, mike mills, mark gonzales and wesley willis. stefan is working with nieves since 2004, publishing books and zines on regular basis. the smallville release is dedicated to ariel pinks haunted graffiti, probably the best band in the world. (besides the dead sea watch out!)

for alec koone, the 20 year old, pennsylvania resident, who was 19 and based in new york at the time of his first release, >wander / wonder< is a coming of age album that sees him expand upon the unique sound that attracted him so much attention to begin with. in koone s own words: it s an open ended album, and i think individuals should make their own meaning of it so that it is something actually real to them. it s not classical music, but in the tradition of a classical work like a bach cello suite, i see it as more of a whole musical piece with themes/motifs/ideas reoccurring throughout, connecting the tracks together as opposed to simply being a collection of songs that sit next to each other in isolation. it s also an album that should be listened to loudly. wander / wonder is a mysterious and genuinely haunting record that seems to exist in a world all of it s own making, balanced between the ecstatic wonder referenced in the title and something altogether more indefinable and uncertain of itself, like shards of light flickering through a blanket of fog, and even though wander / wonder is undeniably an electronic album, it feels strangely organic, rooted in nature, synthetic textures and distorted voices harmonizing with an ever present oceanic shimmer. wander / wonder was written and produced by alec koone in new york and pennsylvania. mixed by alec koone and sam haar (member of blondes) in new york city.

neurotraxx deluxe, the label run by deep house buzz name aki bergen, releases a hot new track from uk super dj filthy rich. as a talented producer/dj filthy richs innovative sound has made him undeniably one of the countrys finest djs today. a promising figure looming out from the crowd, rich is the complete package. effortlessly leaving his contemporaries behind, he leaps and bounds into a league of his own laughing to himself as he does it. this is because rich knows the secret to getting this far – is playing music that he loves, for people to dance to. this new single is more on the deeper side of electronic music but still built to do damage on the dance floor. with mixes from dzeta & basile (who have had tracks & remixes on 1trax, lower east and loco records) and paolo mojo (noir music, cr2, greatstuff, oosh) this is a seriously hard hitting package. with support coming from all the usual a-list and international djs (full list of dj support being released soon) this, as we have come to expect from neurotraxx and filthy rich alike, is going to be an essential record for many djs.

fresh from the pleasures of introducing jon convex to the world, 3024 heads off on a pair of tangents for the next project. the 14th release marks the labels first split 12 inch - a result of 2 tracks falling in to their collective lap that were too good to wait for individual releases. despite the 2 very different acts involved, the symmetry in both musical background and production methodology makes for a record as coherent as any in the labels back catalogue, with both artists closely linked to both 3024 and martyns career.

dikso from berlin drop another amazing ep ! after five super sound singles here is diksos very first artist ep and of course it will be daniel solars job to do the kick-off. his retrospect ep features the most zippy stuff dikso has released so far without being an ordinary house record. the percussion is minimalistically filigree, the atmosphere is fluffy and aniyas voice on >can you really know< comes direct from outer space... er... down under. dikso006 a1 - summer, sunshine, a picnic basket full of delicious food and wine and someone to share a walk in the park. sounds cheesy? yes, you are right... but remember that every park has its dark corners. dikso006 a2 - daniel teamed up with aniya ouu, the grand lady of >melbourne deepcast<, a blog from a few down under brothers and sisters in spirit. intercontinental and interblogospheric, interdisciplinary and... (fill in a word of your choice that begins with inter) dikso006 b1 - thee role model of deepslowmonudiscoeditchicagoacidwhateverhouse. after finishing two longplayers earlier this year he spent some time to refine daniels track. the original shines through but everything is a little bit deeper, darker, stronger. its still a walk in the park, but imagine the voices of owls and some undefinable dark shadows instead of wine, women & song. dikso006 b2 - we still have his brilliant ep for permanet vacation in our ears and synapses and now he is here with a stirring remix for prime times and big rooms. the boys from dikso borrowed pional, probably spains best kept secret, from john talabots hivern discs camp who delivers a real monster of a track. john, they have promised to give him back, later... someday... somehow

after being enclosed for several years with his mpcs and synthesizers, josé rico carries out the 5th downbeat 12 inch influenced by detroit and chicago. the record starts with september rain, a classic deep house track with warm percussion, deep synths and a jazzy piano. urtzi reworks it into a mesmerizing theme with spooky synths and a naïve bassline. then its on to stage, with raw drums, hammond and keyboards somewhere between tetrode and deep transportation. the record is closed by ciclico with a super-bass and a catchy melody. absolutely hypnotic. a diverse release for deep house lovers.

new york noise describes the period in history (1978-88) where new york art and music collided. beginning in the mid-1970s, new york city s soho and east village became a hot-bed of musical and artistic ideas. owing to new property laws, downtown new york and its many warehoure and loft spaces became the home of artists, bands, filmmakers, studios, art galleries and more. in this small area partically every musican was also an artist, every artist a filmmaker and every filmmaker was in a band. this scene is documented over a vibrant ten year period and the book includes pictures of jean-michel basquiat, david byrne, suicide, keith haring, glenn branca, esg, madonna, laurie anderson, philip glass, afrika bambaataa and hundereds more previously unseen photographs. with accomanying text from david byrne, laurie anderson, cindy sherman and more, this is an essential record of a fascinating era in new york s cultural history.

djing and producing together since 2005, deep space orchestra (chris barker and si murray) have releases on a number of heavyweight labels and regular guest appearances at club nights and radio shows throughout the uk and rest of the world. recent highlights include being asked to record a guest mix for gilles petersons highly influential worldwide show and an upcoming mix for michael ruettens soulsearching show. they also run the use of weapons record label, which, although only two releases old, is already gathering much praise. deep space orchestra releases appear on delusions of grandeur, art, winding road, home taping is killing music, use of weapons and soon instruments of rapture, drumpoet community or tracky bottoms too. yes, these guys are hot!

12 inch with 1 new quehenberger original (uffuff) and a trio of near remixes from his latest album hazard (released as laton 047 in 2009). patrick pulsinger tackles new beat, in his unique future funk sound. a welcome return of elin (who hasnt been on a mego record since 1995, check mego 003). he slurps out a version of hey gert, making it into an slamming slowed down twister of a track. this leaves the pumping excess of altroys (minimal sould) keep talking remix.

the zenker brothers grew up in munich, but in 1996 they moved to the countryside and their first adress outside of the bavarian capital was berg 10. shortly after that they got their first dog inti, he smelled like hell, but he was the loveliest dog you can imagine. although it was an intense change and not that easy at the beginning to move from a big city to a village with 5 houses, it was a really important experience for the brothers. and there was so much to discover: the beautiful mountains, lakes and forests, the local football team, the heavy bavarian accent and simply the different mentality on the countryside. all things they would never want to miss, but it was just a question of time to go back to the city. we are proud to present the first record from dario & marco. enjoy!

dÄng! the second and final part of mod.civils funktionen ep grabs you and will never let you go again. attached to this record youll also find the second part of that silkscreened poster that will do the same with the wall in your room

dachshund is a living example of a musician who doesnt take himself too seriously: his lively productions, where his passion for experimentation in rhythm and sound are clearly evident, stand out as a welcome departure from the sterile work of so many other heads in the scene. besides humor, an easy-going jamaican feeling characterizes his sets and tracks: the swiss dj, producer and label owner has his musical roots in reggae, which he has followed all the way to the sunny caribbean. no wonder then, that we can hear the dub influence in his current musical output. true to form, dachshund presents his latest release on the berlin record label, highgrade records, where the beats will blister through the speakers in unexpected combinations and grooves. around every corner there seems to lurk a new mad idea or sound sequence from dachshund, who leads his listeners equally as he misleads them on the dancefloor. with a sly musical wink, he offers us three tracks >shall we<, >soul free< and >tell me< produced with sophistication and elegance. these tunes switch almost imperceptibly into a grooving mind-trip that perfectly fits the title of the ep. this is the equivalent of a relaxing invitation to dance: >shall we<? … but, of course!

we love this record, it really puts the dub in dubstep. their first two releases have sold out and this has been doing well on promo which shows there is a real market out there for this style which really goes back to the early beginnings of how dubstep came about. on the a you are treated to a full vocal mix with lutan fyah in the booth and on the flip there is a dub mix which roles out nicely.

when david hasselhoff was touring munich the first time, it was a fucking dynamite show. word. dario was totally into him since knight rider came onto german tv. who is cooler then kit and the hoff? nobody. fact. so this record is a tribute to darios childhood influenced by the turbo boost beyond the purple sky and hoffs outfits. hoff is just sex! the ladys melt away just hearing his name. i have been looking for love! and freedom.

in 2010, as the first genetic bros tunes started to surface, there was an inevitable scramble for his signature. with a record of nurturing talent such as shockone, dc breaks, metrik, camo & krooked and nero, it was an easy decision to join the roster at futurebound’s visionary label viper recordings who signed genetic bros to an exclusive worldwide deal.
