new beginning is aptly titled because its the first time for wordsworth and donel smokes to collaborate on an entire project. the outcome is bliss, from wordsworth’s graphic, storytelling style, accompanied by the scenic sounds of donel smokes, you get pure, no filter hip-hop music. with songs like f.u.(fingers up) featuring blu, or another day featuring masta ace, or do good featuring chali 2na, you get perspective of life, social issues, and ways to rejoice through it all. songs like hate and test of test will definitely spark discussion of reflection, while believe will give you a sense of optimism. this album is a great listen from new beginning to end.

japan: the land of the rising sun and one of the worlds biggest havens for creative, forward-thinking musical freedom. masters of a infinite number of stripped down, funk infused brands of electronic music, the japanese crews of music makers are usually teams of noble perfectionists. consistently shining a bright guiding light on the japanese scene, radiq (aka yoshihiro hanno) remains one of japans best exports and the reflection of what it means to be a true musician while managing his own japan-talent-only imprint op.disc with wit and will.

athens reminds us of berlin right after the wall. gritty, chaotic, dirty, and partying like there’s no future. dream weapons is a reflection of these confused greek days. with limited means and a diy attitude he builds harsh, lysergic, electronic dreams on the ruins of a once splendid empire. mrt is the perfect place to do so. we believe in total failure.

inside nomine is the much-anticipated debut album from nomine. released on tempa records, it finds the enigmatic producer travelling beyond his acclaimed, soundsystem-demolishing 12 inches to explore the deepest reaches of inner space. a reflection on the power of sound to reshape how we experience reality, it is a remarkable, immersive soundworld of a record — delicate and contemplative, fleet-footed yet overwhelmingly forceful.

mit seinem außergewöhnlichen debütalbum *crafted* beweist madato, furchtlos und über jedes mittelmaß erhaben, seine begabung, die eigenen musikalischen wurzeln mit neuen horizonten fließend zu verschmelzen. in *crafted* laufen die ausdrucksformen aber nicht einfach nur hand in hand nebenher: vielmehr jongliert madato spielend durch instrumente, maschinen und vocals mit elementen aus techno, disco und post-punk. das ergebnis: ein album wie aus einem guss, das bei aller reminiszenz den dancefloor nicht eine sekunde aus den augen verliert.

released for the first time on vinyl is max richter’s emotive and minimal score to damon lindelof’s tv series about a post-apocalyptic global event where 2% of the world’s population disappears without explanation. richter’s approach explores the feelings of the protagonist’s family, the garveys, through intimate, small scale music. he tackles this psychological landscape by bringing a ritual quality to the score, while themes of departure and loss are represented by a sense of sonic decay, relying on the instrumentation of a few sustained tones on pianos, harps and celesta. max richter is a classically trained composer that defies boundaries. trained at the royal academy of music and finishing his studies under the tutelage of avant-garde composer luciano berio in florence, richter’s career has followed many paths. his musical output ranges from ballets (wayne macgregor’s infra), reinventions of classical works (vivaldi’s four seasons), collaborations with the future sound of london, roni size and vashti bunyan to writing scores for film and tv (waltz with bashir, lost and found, last days on mars) and solo work (memoryhouse, the blue notebooks, 24 postcards in full colour).

after the immersive techno pulse of qindeks effe 12inch, wavereform is thrilled to present the return of rising lativan talent juras lietus to our label for our fifth release. his debut single des-m marked our second release in 2014, and while the artist remains something of a mystery outside of his home city of riga, his productions sport the kind of well-travelled tones that transcend geographical location to deliver an infectious message. the single kicks off with metallic thump of >steiga<, which leaps out from the very start with an addictive chord line and a well-rounded kick. juras lietus handles the progression of his track with poise, feeding in a rich tapestry of percussive elements and teasing the filter on that distinctive synth to give the track a fluid, psychedelic flavour. balancing these elements out is a warm, undulating bassline that injects a joyous energy into the track, while the soul-stirring speech sample should be familiar to any socially conscious dancer. its a production that satisfies the needs of a party-hungry dancefloor while equally delivering the internal reflection that comes with all great dub techno.

after the big success of the first classic series by k alexi shelby, technorama is back and proud to present a new release by swedish rising techno producer santiago naura aka bleak. releases on delsin, secret sundaze, deeply rooted and his own driven label naura records have helped him establish himself as one of the new generation of techno producers to watch. swedens bleak is fast becoming an essential part of his countrys techno new school recognised for creating and pushing that vision that’s integral to transcending your experience into something inspiring. his personal style of techno is of the deep, hypnotic,hardware-based variety , that engulfs you and never lets you go. here you can find three brilliant mixes, a real package of hard driving, deep, raw and analog techno bombs, including a powerful remix by upcoming talent stefan vincent (traut, balans, dynamic reflection). hope you all will enjoy these. real head shakers!

out of rome, sofatalk soars high on this ep, feeling out the difference between a lifetime on earth or one really cool moment above it. the title track breathes and evolves via a series of flourishes on the playful side of things - this one is no beard stroker. cloudy soul keeps the optimism and front foot action rolling with an excursion slightly to the deeper end without ever fully taking the plunge. wrapping it up, on reflection is a tight little rhythm-box-driven number that takes you by surprise, transplanting you from the floor to the lower middle stratosphere without you realising. japanese producer 9dw then turns it into a hot stepper of its own, keeping the energy up there but differentiating the bounce.

this compilation is in celebration of our berlin party cocktail damore, which we started with boris five years ago along with visual direction by pindar (goldnsour). what began as a gay monthly, focused on bringing quality music into the alternative culture of berlin, has grown to be host to a diverse range of open minded freaks, queers and more seeking a carefree atmosphere. the music we have compiled is a reflection of the variety of sounds our guests expect from the unique cocktail experience. the 3x12 inch vinyl comes in discodromo triple gatefold sleeve including poster and donwload code to redeem audio hi-res files.

since its first outing in 2004, matthew dears audion guise has predominantly acted as a darker, edgier commentary to the pop-infused house concoctions to be found under the producers birth name. a twisted reflection of sorts, it contemplated electronic music through the lens of grime-flecked techno and sinewy funk - resulting in relentless floor-fillers like the aptly named >kisses<, >just fucking< or >mouth to mouth<.

this is lbnhrxs fourth release, and his second on thin consolation, following his debut ep tales from the moustache released in 2012. progressively shifting towards a purely hardware approach to composing and performing, and still as recluse and vowelaphobic, lbnhrxs sound has matured and acquired that pungent cheesy odour that we all crave so much. ntrprttn is the fruit of his reflection on the topic of interpretation, and is graced with complementary remixes by cupp cave and lawrence le doux

berlin based cohorts ekkohaus and rufus (also part of tru west and nightdrivers) consummate their friendship with this four-track mission statement that deals in gutsy house music with a range of moods to suit every corner of the night. studer is a cheeky cut with jazzy key flurries and a fulsome bassline squelch, while pagan takes a tougher route into heavy delay feedback and pure rhythmic intensity. the end of an ear is a playful beast that takes off-key melodies and oddball noises and works them into a moody, heavy grooving context, while peace & reflection pushes the swing past the brink for a leftfield house jam that sounds liable to fall apart at any minute, in a good way of course.

if you re going to launch a label, it s always wise to start with a bang. that s exactly what newcomers audio visual have done here, recruiting detroit veteran terrence dixon and chez damier cohort michael zucker (boss of finale recordings, no less) for a four-track trip into deep techno and intergalactic house. dixon goes deep into the groove on the hissing, intoxicating deep techno roller -mta-, before delivering a touch more melody on the retro-futurist gem -over the top-. zucker, on the other hand, opts for a jaydee-does-deep house feel to -foundation (part 1)-, before setting off towards the heavens with the deliciously deep, smooth reflections

comprised of eight tracks, periscope blues is the culmination of a mission gone wrong. music for the stranded, the lost, those backed into a corner with nowhere to go, or maybe a reflection of sad individuals panicking on a tropical vacation gone awry. somber yet very tense drifting off radar machine electronics that feel like a blistering sun beating down on decaying beach remains as time crawls on. that or the equivalent to working the grill summers at jones beach and stealing from the register just to get a little more…

luca lozano, owner of klasse recordings presents this majestic 4-track ep on optimo trax. inspired by the past but sounding the antithesis of retro. in his own words.... the optimo trax ep was born out of a time when i was listening to a lot of old bleep house and rave, early 90s uk stuff. growing up in sheffield i was lucky enough to spend some time in warp records when it was still a record store and being around this music and the people that made it must have somehow embedded itself into my psyche. listening to pirate radio stations like fantasy fm as a teenager helped shape my musical interests as they are today and i guess this ep is somehow a reflection of that education, i wanted to make a collection of music that sounded like it was related to a certain place and time and in effect confirm my own identity within its context.
