danielle bardelli and marco dionigi team up again to further refine their distinctive cosmic style.

dark dozzy-esque droning techno and ebm from bronze savage

mikron return to cpu with their second album severance . the corcoran brothers refine their critically acclaimed sound which has evolved to be more haunting than the last release. this album is a nostalgic affair with synthetic landscapes washing over you, before propelling you into the distant future. the ambient moments draw parallels with boards of canada, burial and selected ambient works vol. 2. their last album sold out fast, so don t sleep on this.

screen printed sleeve and label, limited edition of 300 mireia records tenth release zehn shakes all of your fingers (and your toes). a split ep between two strong musically-minded, production-savvy and dj-versed outfits: pin up club and conga fever. tactful yet euphoric remixes by lauer, jacob korn and rss disco refine the record further.

following a killer acid-piano house 12inch and contributing a test pressing-certified new-disco chug to a split release with tuff city kids (both) on terre des pommes in 2014, the working elite further refine their ability to soundtrack festivities with rockman / born again. while rockman conveys an understatedly cinematic mood with repeated imitation string cycles over crisp electro foundations, born again presents a new wave / rave endurance test, summoning perspiration from dedicated day-dancers with its metronomic hammer of a beat overlaid with motivating synth-lines like marching toys. on the flip, saap and lauer (tuff city kids) provide inventive interpretations of these tunes, reshaping rockman into a stomping, flashing-lights electro jam while born again gets a delightfully multi-dimensional digi-dub treatment complete with acid-reggae breakdown over a 4/4 house beat.

sextet (1982) will be released on clear orange vinyl (with download code included) in a textured sleeve replicating the original factory release. dark and brooding, yet bright and funky, sextet is a firm favourite amongst the critics and saw a certain ratio refine the experimentation of the first two albums and deliver a masterpiece that is as off-kilter and weird as it is commercial and pop.

the dynamic duo of second storey and appleblim return to r&s for another slice of their off kilter dance floor alchemy second storey & appleblim bring their detroit machine rhythms and sleek electronic grooves back to r&s for the ‘gimme 6’ ep. since their initial forays in 2015 on the label in the form of a trio of eps and a compilation that introduced the world to their unique strain of cyborg funk, the duo have gone on to refine their sound to ever new creative heights. this new ep is the fruit of that hard work - opener, and title track ‘gimme 6’ sees their production grandiosity hit new highs - swooping pads soon give way to slurping twisted bass and mechanistic hi hats before a collapsing breakdown freakout twists the trad techno blueprint into exciting new shapes. ‘levying rooks’ injects a sense of frenetic levity - serrated bass and scudding percussion, while ‘aperture‘ is drenched in swooning pads and fizzing, flanged out hats underpinned by relentless mutant kicks. too often modern electronic club music is all too content to sit heavily within genre boundaries, and ‘rules - ss&a’s gleeful disregard for categorisation and innate sense of melody, harmony and rhythm make their offerings the perfect antidote to the jaded veteran techno fans as well as the gleeful new jacks

after the success of the first release, we play the music we love strikes again with a new massive ep made by a mysterious but well known artist duo: tdj. after many releases on their label hpty, the analogue guys decided to release on wptmwl02 lights go out, a strong refine ep made to satisfy both dancefloors and polished listeners as well. lights go out is a techno track with dark and rave influences perfect for the big room. lapien, from artefakt project and dvs1 mistress recording, reconstructs the track and trasform the mood. the result is a very deep techno gem. exclusive vinyl. must have!

after releasing their debut full length album on kompakt last year, hunter/game return to just this with another immersive offering. on the dead soul ep the duo continue to refine their expressive yet subtly arranged sound. the title track unfolds slowly, sculpting the melody, texture and suspense. joey andersons take on dead soul is airy and atmospheric without losing it’s pulsing flow. isolation covers a broad spectrum and is filled with contrasts in which an intense bass interacts with a delicate and breathy melody. balance is key to hunter/game’s music and this ep is no exception

returning from the unknown space of his debut, martianman is back to refine his label’s ethos, continuing the exploration of sci-fi themes & deep ambience with vol.2 the opener, “got a dream”, bubbles up from submerged atmospheres, as a crisp, rattling break fights its way through the fog. martianman once again shows off his ear for textures, subtle vocals fade in and out of an entrancing, bottomless pad. a dark-meets-light journey through the cosmos. “amber fields” comes straight from the halcyon days of the mid-90’s intelligent movement. a light, rolling hot pants break gives way to a myriad of pads, strings and bleeps, each element shifting neatly throughout the fold. fans of the good looking vibe would do well to pick up this piece of subtle, understated beauty.

moving across the dynamics of feelings and rythms of matter, oltrarno recordings presents “observing organic structures”, a mini lp produced from the duo raccoglimento parziale. the breath of analog machines tarnishes the infinite mirrors of possibilities. our duo wants us to absorb their work not only with the ears, but through all our pores. attention becomes our antenna. to refine this package, long time friend of the duo spacetravel, who just released his debut double-ep on perlon, elaborates his personal view with a full galloping remix.

aus music proudly present their final release of the year which brings with it the return of recent signing paul woolford. the houndstooth and xl recordings regular continues to refine the emotionally charged drama of his recent work and in doing so, enhances his constantly evolving catalogue with a continuation of the recent heaven & earth ep on aus. the father, son & holy ghost ep sees woolford propel heart-wrenching melodies with thunderous drums in a manner that only few are capable of. progressing with resolute intent, the package includes 2 club-ready cuts and the beatless, string-laden son which completes a release of radically heightened compositional intensity and rounds off a stellar 2016 for aus.

laura jones unveiled her new label sensoramic in may with sam and karousel cutting the opening tape in appropriate style. for the second release laura delivers her first ep since 2014. after taking time out to experiment in the studio and refine her style, the why question marks an evolution in the uk producer s output delivering two incendiary underground club cuts ably remixed by trevino and u-more. two veterans working under aliases, trevino is of course better known as legendary drum n bass producer marcus intalex who has more recently found a home for his 4/4 output on klockworks, the nothing special and his own label, birdie. u-more is italian veteran and berliner, ivan iacobucci, fresh from releasing on apollonia and a slew of underground minimalist labels who delivers a late night acid laden afterhours workout to compliment trevino s big room counterpart.

continuing to refine the special marriage of smooth grooves and fat beats that has so quickly come to define them, dewalta & shannon have delivered eight distinct peeks into an electrifying creative process that run the gamut from deep and moody to minimal or, dare we say, jazzy. split into two vinyl releases and a third, comprehensive digital drop, residual appears first as a playful introduction to the lay of the land, complete with a mean-ass modular monster aptly named jugular dub that could belong to no one else but these two. the second installment brings us the old-school banger begging for a big room, miss wrench, followed by a deconstructed jam session on the moon and rounded out by the sonar-bleeping duality.

brought to you by the berlin-based power duo known as dewalta & shannon, this one’s coming at you in three parts: a very special puzzle we’re excited to be putting together. continuing to refine the special marriage of smooth grooves and fat beats that has so quickly come to define them, dewalta & shannon have delivered eight distinct peeks into an electrifying creative process that run the gamut from deep and moody to minimal or, dare we say, jazzy. split into two vinyl releases and a third, comprehensive digital drop, residual appears first as a playful introduction to the lay of the land, complete with a mean-ass modular monster aptly named jugular dub that could belong to no one else but these two. the second installment brings us the old-school banger begging for a big room, miss wrench, followed by a deconstructed jam session on the moon and rounded out by the sonar-bleeping duality.

after their first appearance as talented remixer on marco brunos polyhedral ep we thought it was time for a full ep by the frech duo unspent. crossing the borders between techno, house and euphoric chicago grooves these four tracks will definitely find their way to dancefloors all over the world. and to make an awesome record even better we invited no other than the current master of chords and vocal stabs himself chambray to refine the track la verite. and what a great job he did to celebrate the 10th vinyl issue on abstract animal.

almost exactly three years after nr&, a project uniting &me’s and rampa’s production with the voice of new york disco-house-siren nomi, dropped their debut ep, we finally can announce a new chapter in this ongoing transatlantic menage. this very “spoken for” ep is comprised of two new tracks, that again fuse songwriting with floor-demands and showcase the same crackling and pulse quickening passion that instantly has become nr&’s trademark. so here’s the evidence – a long distance relationship is not necessarily doomed to get boring after a while. “taste like” on a might be conceived as the club-affair of those two new joints. a tune indulging in self-control, extending the pre- eruptive moment of excitement to track length. there is nomi’s unmistakeable sexed up oration, flanked by an affirmative thunderstorm of claps, then a bass heavy bridge, overflowing into a noise brushed finale. altogether a tasty flavour carrier for an effective floor heating. “spoken for” is not only the title track, but also the hymn coming out of the flipside ambush. there is no kick necessary to underpin what nomi’s charismatic croon is laying down. therefore a wise choice to let the arrangement of interspersed field recordings, percussive details and piano- and synth-decoration exercise in unobtrusiveness. safe to say, this tune will refine many future peaktimes anyway.

nice price deal !!! aaacid003 is the second ep from amir alexander s richie ratchet moniker. the major difference in the work of richie and his twin brother jack ingoff is the clever use of vocals. singlehandedly writing new chapter in the acid house manual with off kilter polyrhythms, odd time signatures, and unconventional tongue and cheek topics, amir through his aaacid label continues to go from strength to strength as he seeks to refine and progress the artform of acid jack. field tested, all 4 of these tracks have been putting in work world wide and moving dancefloors to a sweaty frenzy in the process. just an prolific artist expressing himself, having fun, and adding something unique to the culture. modern acid for forward thinking underground heads.

mkfn return to touchin bass after last years *substrate ep* with their latest offering, *this divide ep*. through a sustained and methodical exploration of studio techniques, the trio of babar raza (us), ovais hassan (uk) and fahad ahmad (canada) continue to refine and evolve their signature sound. manipulated sounds accent the meticulous rhythms to form the foundation upon which this release is defined. over the course of these four tracks, mkfn create a sense of place inviting listeners to traverse landscapes that exist independent of any singular perception or experience.

correspondants 28th release, polina, delivers another brooding, evocative ep for the label, this time from the agents of time polyhedron: a fusion of ideas and concepts that make up a single reality. the italian trio of andrea di ceglie, fedele ladisa, and luigi tutolo came together in the summer of 2013, and their inaugural album was released via stem records in january of the following year. the group uses both analog and digital equipment to refine their unique amalgam of progressive, techno, and ambient music.

benjamin quin and markus schwarzbrauer aka bara bröst prove how beautiful, erotic and clubby they can be. mat.joe , pammin and our karera act elanetique refine this beauty with their remixes. and because erotic is the shit furthermore we give you the release as vinyl.

docile shapes tone and midi to make sense out of random noise. we refine and redefine melodies giving them the warmth of new life. our style is an unrelenting adherence to the simple. our groove moves cool and easy and is often following the path of a drunken love arrangement. our sound reaches childlike for a funk that is beautiful. docile is an artist label. our art is the craft of vinyl as well as the music on it. we are an independent voice that walks a lonely path no matter the cost. docile still believes.

the recordings for the wires cracked were completed in a frenzied two week period in october of 2012. i had mentioned in discussing a previous albums construction that i prefer to forget how i build any particular electro-acoustic amalgam. this is so that i dont get to precious with them, so that i could refine them further, so that the sounds themselves speak beyond their aggregate parts. with the album being relatively fresh in my mind, i can still recall various components to the wires cracked -- the desolate howl of a metal screen activated by a desert wind, the hissing air compression from the cooling apparatus for a laser at the slac national accelerator laboratory operated by stanford university, and the tremolo rhythms from a thin wire that still get me thinking fondly of günter schickert -- but much of the caustic drone, thrumming reverberation, and tactile grit thoroughly escapes me. that is probably for the best, since these various parts speak to an existential rupturing, the collapse of the self, the aftershocks of dark energy, and a belief in the hope for renewal.

bomb! secluded (aka hans bouffmyhre) releases his debut ep on dustin zahns enemy records. secludeds two originals are remixed by sigha & ray kajioka. secluded is quickly establishing himself as one-to-watch as he continues to develop and refine his stripped, rhythmical sound.

with daughter & son on the b-side of the vinyl, the freiburg native presents a groovy, playful and impulsive sound that is guaranteed to let a summer feeling arise. set between classical techno and modern tech-house the title track daughter & son points consistently towards summer. patrick kunkel & dirk redmer refine their remix with a hypnotic bass line, but then let the track, with its dub elements and the choir parts, drift so incredibly beautiful into the sunrise, that one would wish for an infinite loop. the beach with its more playful harmony feeling and percussive gantry gives a first taste of the open-air season 2012.

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

gavins mix has proven such a favorite, in fact, that it sent populette back into the studio to refine the original so they stand beside one another better.we can think of no greater compliment than that!

a temporary sabbatical from gigs was taken and the band wrote material for where were you when it happened in new orleans midtown district, where their rawboned compositions resembled the katrina-pummeled surroundings. with their girlfriends with them in as close to a stableenvironment as they d been in months, they were able to tap a darker, more personal side in songs like as noise, and hunt you down, with its mournful, organ drenched air belying monotonixs typical good time charlie posturing, while fulfilling the albums need for a climactic, balladic moment. where were you when it happened? finds monotonix visiting a greater diversity of places within their sound while still retaining their minimal appeal. mostly though, where were you when it happened works up a sweat with raw rock and roll, acid guitar licks and riffs, screaming choruses and, in general, the wildness of monotonix in a way that makes for repeated album listening (and pummelling). where most bands refine their production sound as they go forward, monotonix have reverse refined themselves, playing dirtier and more energetic to capture the lightning they are known for.

after a handful of successful singles zwicker released on the renownend labels bearfunk, compost black label and get physical it was time to refine the warm mixture of mutated disco, house, electro and pop on a full length album. on this songs of lucid dreamers ep1 you find four tracks (extended versions) from his upcoming album songs of lucid dreamers, which will be released end of april on compost records.this is sublime electronic pop at its best!
