mike ash returns to super rhythm trax after providing the very first release and gives us 4 authentic and acidic warehouse smashers. mike ash may be familiar from early releases on moving shadow and rising high records under a variety of pseudonyms in the early 90s but in the last 10 years has become synonymous with releasing mind blowing and true electro under his own name. when he turns his hand to acid house, the results mirror the high quality and his no nonsense approach shines through having lived and breathed the music and culture back when it was exploding in the late 80s and early 90s. in his own words i tried to keep with the original 1988/1989 vibe. i didnt use any synths / sounds / samples that weren t available past 1990. its all juno / sh-101 / 303 / jupiter / 808 / 909 / 707 / 606 and samples from the beats breaks & scratches vol 1&2inch the tracks exude a raw and strangled soul and are a bold and comfortingly honest take on the warehouse and pirate radio sound of the uk.

for the 5th installment in the prrukwht series, spanish hardware icon eduardo de la calle returns to planet rhythm with his adept to the light ep. tr3b conspiracy serves as the opener which combines odd rhythmic arps and subtly placed drum sequences to make a somewhat uncanny atmosphere. on the b side we find ranchor will cut the mood which is a repetitive techno cut that should be useful for after hours. the doubt of the unknown (b2) has a somewhat foreboding title. it’s a fx heavy synth jam that uses oddball synthesis and nicely placed fx chains that evolve throughout.

jus groove it is a new label launched by rhythm&soul where he will release his own productions and collaborations with other house chefs and friends. a record label focused on new grooves, tight beats, hypnotic sounds and modern house music. first release comes by himself, two tracks, one per side. both combining west coast house flavors with modern and organic house grooves. west feel and beyond the basics are both made to shake your body and warm your floor! music made for djs and groove lovers

cant stop listen the origlinal.. wow ...relative 16th instalment sees label head john swing back at the controls with a killer four track ep. the title track “get rhythm” comes with relative’s signature gritty house sound in its original mix while the arp mix shakes peak time dance floors with hypnotic arpeggios and rumbling drums. the b side opens up with a relentless african congas ride boosting the rhythmic section with an energetic afro feel. the -other version- closes this meteoric ep with a deep, jackin cut-throat groove.

strictly mood ii swing is a new track collection of music from one of the most influential house music duos of all time. as mood ii swing, production duo lem springsteen and john ciafone will go down in history as one of the most prolific and respected house duos of the last 25 years. at their best, they were simply untouchable, with their drum programming often cited as what set them apart from the rest of the field: always busier and more intricate than straight-up 4/4 house tracks

back to basics with two heavy rhythm edits/tools. a-side features label boss paul du lac s edit of t.o.y. s drum electronic sound , a dark and menacing mid-eighties instrumental italo/electro track (original version was recently released on bordello a parigi), b-side features a simple yet highly effective and relentess minimal drum cut by herr mick wills... no need to say more... vinyl only.

its not often you get to work with vocalists of sarah jay s calibre (massive attack/presence) so here at pft we decided to enlist some heavyweight talent to make the most of this opportunity. kicking off the second ep we have the one and only rob mello (classic/defected/crosstown rebels) on remix duties

planet rhythm latest vinyl contribution comes by rennes based producer berg jaär. berg comes as a true addition to the ever growing prruk reportoire. firm drums and sturdy fx serve as the backbone of his contribution. with little info to be found about the french producer this release serves as the perfect example of the adventurous mode that planet rhythm currently finds itself in. moody yet intrusive in many ways.

on *plate mining* and *idea of a deep state*, jared goes in deep with lush, strings that sooth you as the 303 works it s magic underneath. while *how deep* provides a brooding acid line and works the percussion. minimal but deadly.
jared has long been on the srtx want list after proving himself as a master craftsman with a slew of classy releases on his own 7777 label. super rhythm trax is overjoyed to have him on the roster being one of the most skilled knob twiddlers out there who knows how to work it but also and perhaps more importantly, when to hold back.

killer 3rd ep on rhythm nation with fine forward thinking modern techno tracks.

four track vinyl with prime time bangin techno

released 25th november on the seminal strictly rhythm label, the album is vastly different from the majority of electronic albums out there. it has a decidedly soulful, blues-y feel and instead of the heres ten club tracks, will this do approach, tim took his time and immersed himself completely into the record, surrounding himself with some of the best contemporary jazz musicians around, including jim mullen (guitar), rod youngs and enzo zirilli (drums), pete wareham (sax), jay phelps (trumpet), john donaldson (piano) and ben hazleton (bass).

for the 10th release of the label we have a solid ep by the label owner, rhythm&soul. after few strong releases on other labels it s time to put some warm vibes and juicy beats on his own label. slow town x has an old school taste but sounds very fresh at the same time. serious grooves ahead! -lost grooves- is a hypnotic track that keeps you dancing and flying from the beginning till the end. -cookies- is a classic sampling house track with fat 909 beats. a tribute to a big hip hop producer that passed away (for those who know!). and finally when he goes deep is a long oneside track that drives you through a deep trip while a female voice reminds you what it sounds like when he goes deep. a release full of rhythm and soul of course. repress

lisbon based techno producer re:axis returns to planet rhythm with his new solo ep *light & shadows*. after the success of his previous effort through the imprint, this time, re:axis comes up with an ep filled with swelling synth sounds and thoroughly produced drums. from the swell bass sounds in *light & shadows* to the rough mechanical sounding notes in *galactica*, re:axis stands his ground and delivers a percussive laden ep for peak-time club action.

ahead of their highly anticipated debut lp due on golf channel this fall, the berlin duo drop this little taster. the heavy, percussion driven analogue sound that is their trademark comes in two tight packages. the title track is all snaky rhythms and squelchy riffing and comes complete with exactly the kind of dense, break heavy remix that we would expect from compatriot, and top buddy of the band, wolf muller. flipside revanche is a sunnier affair, deft touches on the acoustic guitar and lighter percussion, but no less the party starter because of it. golf channel every time !

bond commander petter b lands on planet rhythm with a bombshell record that contains 3 staggering originals and a fierce re:axis remix. the opening effort *cc21* is a rough repetitive pacer that will definitely turn some heads. *transporter* serves as a vibey yet evolving piece of work that builds up the tension but let s go every now and then. *protoportal* is yet again a repetitive grower with a somewhat less dark build as the opening tracks. re:axis closes down with a robust rework of *transporter*. belter record.

feelings is the next single to be released ahead of tim deluxes highly anticipated lp the radicle, a deep and jazzy cut which includes two distinct versions. with its deep jazzy reprise and classic french house-influenced tone, the club edit pairs a shuffling groove with freeform trumpet courtesy of renowned instrumentalist jay phelps with whom tim has worked extensively. the ice cream dub throws back to tim’s garage-roots, with the name directly referencing the highly influential record label he founded back in the 90s. tim skilfully blends the techniques of his heritage with the more modern, garage-influenced house sounds, creating a bubbling, low-end monster.

for pressure traxx 013 we take things back to basics. two guys and four machines are the only ingredients for these old school bangers. on the a side we re very proud to welcome nail tolliday from the uk to the family. this legend is in the game for more than 20 years and has paid his dues for sure. -sentipede- (originally released on diy discs in 95) was produced on a roland tr 909, tb 303, sh 101 and one effect processor. it was live mixed and recorded in one take. no trickery and no bullshit! on the flip we have pressure traxx co-founder einzelkind cutting it with his 808 rhythm traxx 3. this is a recording of a 10 minute live jam with the roland tr 808. no arranging, no cheap effects, just one guy working this all-time classic drum machine live n direct!

f.s. blumm aka frank schültge from berlin has been making marvelous music for many years now. be it solo like on his latest album (pingipung in 2013) as part of the subtle folk-duo -bobby & blumm- or as a sound- scape researcher at the side of nils frahm. but even though f.s. blummbastic sees the light of day for the very first time in this release, the combina- tion of dub and blumm is not new: he is part of the quasi dub development (qdd). the collective around blumm and luca fadda from new york recently released the album -little-twister vs stiff-neck- with features by lee scratch perry or lady ann on pingipung in 2014. these -riddims and biscuits- came to live during the creation of material for future qdd-concerts. f.s. blummbastic played all instruments himself, rhythm guitar, organ and of course bass to send the results the the colleagues in new york. soon it was clear: these riddims have the most impact in their reduced form. theyd like to stand alone and get played back loudly. for the drums f.s. blummbastic brought helmut erler aka hey from hey-Ø-hansen into the qdd cosmos. not only did he bang the drums, but he has also mixed, mastered and cut the vinyl of this album.

already featuring on two earlier prrukblk samplers and on the digital imprint, it was just a matter of time for his 12 inch solo-debut to come, von grall presents his *no contact ep* on the planet rhythm black imprint. the paris-based producer has been pushing forward his characteristic deep & atmospheric sound over the past two years and has proven to be one of the strong upcoming forces of the label. next to the great claudio prc remix on the a-side, the release features three original tracks ranging from the dancefloor-driven *quadratic* to the trippy *no contact* and even deeper into dark atmospheric sounds on *molecular collison* - making this ep another strong addition to the prrukblk catalog!

dropping ahead of the release of tim deluxes new studio lp the radicle, love is is the next single taken from the album, presented here in its original form as well as an additional dub version. a jazz-fueled, bluesy masterpiece with a heart wrenching vocal sublime live instrumentation and incredible production values, love is demonstrates just how far tim deluxe has come as an artist, and is indicative of the quality of the album as a whole.

a booming clavinet led banger from everyones favourite disco uncles, eric duncan and dean meredith. heavy on the lasers and scything hi hats with a bassline as deep as you would expect from these fellers. marcellus trademark sound is all over his remix - sultry rhodes and sweet, driving funk, and the central executives version strips it to the bone, revealing not a skeleton but a robot. a robot playing a fucking saxophone! rock on, dudes. golf channel every time!
