slamming timmy regisford deep house mixes.... very soulful and very very good !

a timely reissue of one of blueprint s greatest releases
full colour label sleeve to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this classic techno label !
continuing blueprint’s 20th anniversary, which has already seen the release of the ‘structures and solutions’ compilation featuring 17 exclusive tracks from an excess of talent including regis, planetary assault systems, truss, tessela, lakker, steve bicknell, randomer and more, brand new eps by surgeon, oliver ho and o/v/r, plus the re-release of oliver ho’s 1999 ep ‘awakening the sentient’, blueprint take another trip back in time to 2002’s ‘conspiracy ep’ by label boss, james ruskin. this new release not only features the 3 original tracks re-mastered, but also includes the remake of ‘take control’ by surgeon taken from bpltd001, the first release on blueprint’s limited sub-label…

the less we say the better - another essential collaboration, suck it and see ! limited 1st pressing features clear vinyl, and a poly outer sleeve to brilliantly show off the full size printed insert also included... a new take on classic uk techno here with a solid and somewhat retro sound palette. regis and james ruskin follow up their previous collaboration (bp025) in brilliant form with menacing riffs, frenzied 808 kicks and a haunting downbeat track to finish things off

ruskin continues to stomp out his trail of killer recent releases this time enroling the help of uk don mark broom ! a must for fans of o/v/r !! uk techno dude mr james ruskin pours on the release pressure here with the help of official techno country bumpkin mark broom! just back from remixing the wurzels, broomy takes the tempo up a little adding red2 style stabs whilst referring back to the solid sound palettes of the previous (and massive selling) regis collaboration of o/v/r (bp029)

timmy regisford reworks two modern soul tracks in his unique style.

after a break from solo production for his own blueprint label, during which he released a well-received album ( the dash ) on the mighty tresor, and a brace of singles as o/v/r (with regis), james ruskin returns to home-ground with a cracking two-tracker. sabre is a classic ruskin production, booming bottom-end and a mind-mangling filtered fx loop swirling around over the top. deceptively simple production that is definitely greater than the sum of its parts, as all good techno should be. on the flipside, massk follows a similar template, with only 5 or 6 parts throughout the whole track, but the subtle changes in arrangement lure the listener in to the deep and dark world of mr ruskin...

tsunami records celebrates its 50th release with a massive v/a compilation on double vinyl.

a heart from your shadow is the debut collaborative lp from michael beharie (new york) and teddy rankin-parker (chicago). since graduating together from oberlin college, beharie and rankin-parker each veered into markedly different avenues. beharie joined up with the ever-confounding new york ensemble zs (northern spy, the social registry). rankin-parker became an on-demand cellist for his prowess in the work of improvisation and avant-garde music, lending his talents to a wide array of collaborators such as primus, iron & wine, steve reich, and pauline oliveros. rather than jump into stream-of-concious improvisation, beharie and rankin-parker chose to focus the albums themes via intricately composed pieces. a heart from your shadow could be described as protest music, brimming with intense energy, harrowing anxiety, and steadfast optimism. produced by michael beharie, mixed carefully by jim o rourke, mastered by james plotkin and cut to lp at d&m berlin. black virgin vinyl housed in poly-lined inner sleeve in reverse board-printed double-width spine jacket with spot uv finishing. first pressing of 300 copies.

after releasing records on l.i.e.s. and its offspring russian torrent versions labels, caserta (close to neaples, italy) native domenico crisci quickly rose to prominence among purveyors of timeless techno. a third record on eerie cemented his reputation as a careful engineer of effective, crafty dance floor cuts that comfortably sit next to early works of the genre’s pioneers.
august of 2016 sees domenico’s sonic determination surprisingly rematerializing on silent servant, regis and james ruskin’s jealous god label with a new, strong ep crowning the distinct quality of this limited series.
through such particular path domenico got inspiration to start his own summa cum laude label project, where his most forward thinking works and brand new, surprising talents will have the first chance to get properly published.
domenico himself is inaugurating the label by “the violinist” ep, including 3 peak-time techno tracks anticipating the strongest emotive intensities, carefully finalized by the valuable experience of a mastering engineer like matt colton. to visualize domenico s particular, straightforward sound, we’ll find the kind intervention of the neapolitan artist mariangela levita.

perc trax s very own potter-loving boy wizard ansome returns with some of the choicest cuts from his debut album stowaway remixed by an array of uk talent. opening up the ep are james ruskin and regis working together as o/v/r. the blueprint and downwards bosses show their class with a precisely produced stepper of a remix, built on a wall of sub bass...opening the b-side perc provides the peak time moment of this 12- as he fires up the already energetic bad blood in his own confrontational style. closing things off, london s randomer makes his debut perc trax appearance with a radical take on ansome s original mix of back alley sally as swarming live percussion and synth stabs lead the charge… as with the original stowaway album elliot fox provides the main illustration, with perc trax design guru jonny costello creating the centre art

technosoul is a group of dj s & promoters, responsible for some of the best polish parties with techno music within the last years (with guests such as robert hood, surgeon, regis, james ruskin and many others). the idea for a label was born a few years ago – it took more than reasonable amount of time to make it come true. the first release is produced by piotr klejment – member of technosoul, previously known as 0311 and dj ninja. remixes come from perc and sleeparchive.
includes the *technosoul* mix-cd by dtekk.

limited 1st run on marbled grey vinyl !3rd in this superb deep techno series, support from: sandwell district, scratcha dva, sigha, james ruskin, mark broom, claude young, steven tang, billy nasty, delta funktionen, miles sagnia, morphosis, ben sims, commix, jerome sydenham, regis, shifted, function etc... surface return with the third in its beneath the surface series, following on from the extremely well received between worlds release. journeys to the deep volume 2. is an important and personal record to nick and the surface camp in general, paying tribute to family elder jessica dunton and her influence on nick and his families lives, and her long fight to continue living against the odds! facing the heavens- sees nick take on his much lauded ever vivid moniker delivering an extremely fitting tribute that somehow blurs the boundaries between the early classic emotive sounds of 90s uk techno, house and 70s funk.. cutting synth lines drenched in soul develop throughout the track taking us on a deep yet strangely uplifting journey, the chord sequence beautifully maintains the mood, but for us at the office its all about the detail, piercing moog leads, emotive strings and rhodes, all driving along at pace on top of a reese type melodic bassline and rolling 808 drums. this is as comfortable in a club as it is at home. timeless in its approach, with a purist touch. on the flip nick duntons >leaving the planet< is an altogether different beast.. beautifully produced and super deep, this is the classic dunton sound of late, harmonic drifts and carl craig 69 era strings morph between lush sustained textures, that somehow float above the powerful pulsing bass, that imitates a heartbeat and really gives this track a haunting feeling that when coupled with the hypnotic phasing drums, and fluttering reverberating stabs make it is as deep as the sea, yet beautifully bass heavy. this is nick taking his wide screen cinematic sound and stripping it bare whilst losing none of the evocative touches that have made his recent music so affecting

there are few labels who will get the opportunity to work extensively with the most dynamic remixers, dj s and producers of this decade. bbe seems to keep coming up trumps. grammy award winner louie vega has been on top of the dj game for over 2 decades. he gained further notoriety as part of the collective known as ‘masters at work’ with kenny gonzalez form a formidable partnership reminiscent of the greatest producers of yesteryear. quincy did it with chaka khan, james ingram, al jarreau and the brothers johnson, while gamble and huff did it with archie bell and the drells, harold melvin and the bluenotes, teddy pendergrass and mfsb.

james ruskin teams up with karl o connor aka regis to reactivate blueprint records with a deep and dark techno 3-tracker!

release #100 by tresor records, made in 1998, comes with 9 classic techno tunes by artists like christian vogel, regis, pacou, infiniti, heiko laux, blake baxter and more.

der londoner dubstep-pionier und hotflush-labelbetreiber scuba aka paul rose beweist seine einzigartigkeit mit einem 75-minŸtigen fabric-set aus 42(!) Ÿber- und nacheinander gelegten tracks. unterschiedliche kŸnstler wie pearson sound und patrick cowley, donato dozzy und midland treffen in einer dŸster-verfŸhrerischen atmosphŠre aufeinander, so dass man sich zwischen pumpendem lo-fi techno und subsonischen bŠssen im rave-kosmos verliert.

function ist der techno-mann der stunde! parallel zu seinem soloalbum auf ostgut ton lŠsst der wahlberliner, der in den 00er jahren zusammen mit regis das legendŠre duo und label sandwell district betrieb, diesen alias wiederauferstehen und liefert mit seinem partner ein fabric-mixset in bester berghain manier ab: staubtrocken, reduziert, fokussiert, deep.
