after a very encouraging reception of his first ep sour stroke released in 2016 (supported by laurent garnier, skream and mr oizo), the young parisian producer is back on ed banger records in january 2017. clearly set for clubs this second maxi kinda love makes you feel joy and love like the dancefloors we always keep in mind or these we dream of. expect four generous pieces and a handmade clip that will be released a few days before valentine’s day?

from the twilight zone of rhythm section international comes a new label for 2017: international black. international black is the sound when the lights go off. recorded entirely on analogue hardware via reel to reel tape, this inaugural release features two hypnotic and timeless tracks from two of south london’s finest exponents of real house music. the record is made with the dancefloor in mind, channelling that moment in the club where things get dark, hypnotic, a bit weird and a lot more interesting.

next up on deep distance (following the sold-out-in-a-day sula bassana lp) is a fabulous newly expanded first time on vinyl double lp set of colin potter’s seminal 1980 cassette only release “the ghost office”.
the label is gradually working through colin’s revered back catalogue of cassette only releases, with previous titles the scythe and two nights selling out instantly. his run of half of a dozen home recorded, diy / minimal synth cassettes between 1980 and 1982 is rightly granted legendary status, influencing a slew of home produced diy experimental electronic artists and all attaining high collectors prices online for original copies. so these lp sets filled out with all manner of unreleased cuts, demos and excluded tracks truly are a treat.

promos, edits, mega-mixes, the record pools, white labels, acetates, reel to reels. all of the above were the weapons of choice for the disc jockey s of yesteryear, utilising these tools helped various luminaries pave the way for where we are today on the modern dance-floor. those secret mixes, private versions and edits of the hottest disco jams that only the select few had access to could make or break a dj s reputation in the clubs and on the streets. it is within this world that the for discos only label operates, sourcing the finest underground edits and mixes for the discotheques. we carefully hand pick and dig for obscure or forgotten versions of the best tracks that may have been previously out of reach for the majority, inviting the hottest editors and mixers to open up their archives and share their secret weapons with us all via the medium of the 12- record.

london-based rumah offers his unique take on peak time techno. after contributions earlier this year to the wolfskuils 1st secret weapons and the 20 years compilation of james ruskins legendary blueprint, hes now debuting in solo on darko essers wolfskuil with his brilliant a view to the sea ep.

fortuna co-founder kalbata takes the controls for this new, middle eastern techno banger! al-shark is a banging arab farfisa excursion played frantically on an analog techno rhythm section. it s the first release from the fortuna camp which is not a reissue, but worry not, this could easily be an ancient lebanese proto-house experiment unearthed from a dusty reel.for the b-side kalbata takes things even further with a tribal relick of the original, placing us in a voodoo ceremony where ghosts of sinners come to dance. already on heavy rotation by gilles peterson and acid arab, this anthemic 12- is not to be missed! limited vinyl!

nolan the ninja is a throwback in many regards. in an era where many are just thrust into the realm of music without having gone through a proper stretch of artistic development, nolan has been through the gauntlet and honed his abilities to the razors edge over the past few years. nolans debut ep -fck the hype-dropped on left of center and attracted praise from 2dopeboyz, huffington post, pigeons & planes, egotripland, urb, watchloud, respect and numerous other outlets. after eye opening live appearances on dj eclipse s halftime show and tony touch s toca tuesdays shade 45 show it was clear the world needed a full length album from him.

music has always played a major part in ezel s life. having done remix work for labels such as yoruba, king street and reel people and working with artists such as tortured soul, daz-i-kue, atjazz, john arnold & jeremy ellis, it s now time to welcome ezel to the local talk family with get down . opening is the title track get down (original mix) , with its immersive chords, bumping bassline and the help from the unmistakeable vocal talents of tumelo, it s house the way we like it. both soulful and deep. on the b-side ezel serves us a remix of get down. there s no denying in that there s a strong osunlade envisionesque feel to this one - and that s a good thing ! an absolute must for every dj s bag, trust us. finally production heavyweight atjazz revisits the glory of the bayacou mix but focuses more on the finer tweaks, it s all in the details folks.

produced somewhere between a basement in brussels and an attic in the outskirts of paris, back when tape reel to reels, primitive rhythm boxes and analogue synths still carried a vague promise of the future, this music translated a certain atomic paranoia fuelled by the cold war industry. lo-fi music, abrasive, high pressure, dense, clipped to the max, like it was intended to punish any woofer that gets between it and the air.

ketev is the realm in which berlin based sound artist yair elazar glotman employs his unique ambient technoid soundscapes to explore the balance between darkness and light, fragility and strength, and tension and release. ‘traces of weakness’ follows up the solo contrabass lp ‘Études’ for subtext records, and continues to expand on the themes explored on previous ketev albums for where to now? and opal tapes. ‘traces of weakness’ was recorded at ems stockholm using their buchla modular synth, and processed with reel-to-reel tape manipulations including personal archived field recordings. the sleeve photography comes courtesy of yair’s father, the artist yehoshua shuka glotman.

recorded from rudys homemade studio in hampton virginia before he cut *searching for love* on harvest records around 1983, he did this wonderful modern synth winner. with rudy just having one pass on a reel of this song, we remastered it a little at the super disco hq to give it a brighter feel. sure its pretty lo-fi but the quality of the song writing playing and melodies are more than enough to let is see the joys of a turntable. this is once again a limited press.

while this album could have gone down a rather obvious route, with the remixers of the asphodells album *ruled by passion…*, andrew weatherall looked a little closer to home.
mainly revolving around the axis - the group of locally-based producers who can be spotted in and out of weatheralls shoreditch studio bunker - reworkings from the likes of phil kieran, scott fraser, hardway bros, justin robertson and ivan smagghe soon came to light.
this idea lead to a broad range of styles with something for everyone. we have stopped arguing in the office about which is the best track. they all are.

a few years ago i took a journey to europe searching for a new sound. people along the journey had been telling me about this guy from tropea, italy called dj steve (named after his favorite musician, stevie wonder).
he is a butcher there by day, but at night he is the dj at a club called casablanca. i made my way to this tiny town in the south of italy and found dj steve. his 12 hour dj sets opened my eyes. this guy was the real deal. he was playing dubplates, vinyl, cassettes, and reel-to-reels. all special edits he had done over the years. i couldnt believe what i was hearing.
