brilliant dbl header with hypnotic deep groovin stuff

planet rhythm is steadily outing material these days. the next in the string of releases is a va by planet rhythm usual suspects robert s, deepbass & repart, jamie haus and dubiosity. 4 versatile techno cuts that each showcase a different sound within the techno spectrum.

the venerable german record label construct rhythm strikes back with the a new collectors item vinyl release the prime selection series one ep, the ep contains 4 uncompromising pounding deep techno productions at its best !

credit 00 strikes back with four cuts between jungle funk and sublime party bombs. -tribal rhythm machine- starts off with subtle but effective drumming that works on the dance floor as much as it could be the soundtrack to your road trip to utopia. then there is -curse of the medusa-, a pretty rumbling track that takes full advantage of its super-funky vocal samples and almost explosive percussion action. -voodoo soup- fishes in muddy waters with credit 00 s distinctive drum work and tribal sounds from outer space. the final track -snake charmer- is building things up nice and steady. but when the hypnotizing synth melody breaks ground neither serpents nor dancers can resist. the artwork was created by alexander dorn a.k.a. credit 00 himsel

all of the tracks in this ep were created by the roland rhythm composer tr-707. the recordings were captured live using a combination of analog and digital equipment. all manipulations and pattern changes were generated by hand.
pressing on translucent blue vinyl.

future times is very happy to announce a new record from rbl, who we haven t heard from since his 7- for ft (the second-ever release on the label) about 7 years back (!).tip once again the songs are split up into dance and romance sides, on the dance side we have -frequency illusion,- a glorious slap of vibro-house for the deejay crew, coming in hot like a rugged pal joey tune, and on the romance side we have the slow hypnotic funk of -number games,- complete with dope mantra vox and italian slo-house chug. this one is a doozy!!

it’s time for another prruk sampler. prruk104 combines four of the names that have circulating through the label s discography in recent times. for the a side we have self reflektion label owner stranger with a peak time warehouse anthem called “thinner” which uses heavy syncopated percussion sounds which dominate the whole track. for the a2, hans boufffmyhre comes up with a distorted bit of techno action that will definitely turn some heads. london based jamie haus opens up the b side with a psychotic anthem whilst ear to ground head honcho gareth wild closes down with a more emotional rave cut.

jus groove it comes with his second release. again two tracks made for the dance floor! rhythm&soul delivers two groovy and hypnotic tracks with again a futuristic flavor. taking the old school house vibes and pushing them beyond to create modern house tracks. pure groove.

the mighty brassfoot (apron) going overseas with a devestating ep on the dutch bio rhythm imprint, delivering five grim yet hedonistic & intense post-modern voodoo jack tracks, kickstarting what appears to be the labels second phase.

it’s been a while since planet rhythm released an entire lp project. who else to thread into album territories than ukranian planet rhythm stalwart yan cook. after releasing various efforts through the rotterdam based imprint over the last few years, yan cook comes up with a double lp consisting of 2 discs with 2 tracks on each side. whilst shifting between various sides of the yan cook identity the xx lp proves to be an effective and bulding package over mechanic techno sounds with strong builds and exciting taints of fx.

coming straight out of melbourne with plentiful attitude, producer/multi-instrumentalist silentjay teams up with fellow hiatus kaiyote backing vocalist, jace xl to present sacrifice, a mini album of epic proportions. at once sincere and heartfelt, the songs do not shy away from the playful influence of 90s rnb - a sound that is a defining influence on this ep, which despite clocking in at just under 30 minutes, attains a level of artistry and conceptual cohesiveness that many artists could only dream of. another very serious record, from an impossibly fertile melbourne scene that is quickly becoming the envy of the world.

repress 2016 - slowtown 03 welcomes the spring time with a colorful release. one of stown favorite fellas and admired artists jef k (silver network, paris) joins with slowtowns label owner rhythm&soul to release the groove maker as the third release of the cosmopolitan label.

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

label heads collabo

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.

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.

cardopusher appears as if by magic on super rhythm trax to drop four acid bangers. there are no frills or pretensions here, just jugular acid trax that dont mess around. straight up, solid and perfect for dark strobe lit basements. this ep channels the rawness with aplomb.

another solid va on the prruk imprint. usual suspect yan cook opens up with the sturdy techno-cut *canyon*. steve parker delivers some hypnotic acid business. boys of the moment twr72 come up with an intrusive bit of strongarm techno. alderaan closes down this ep with his arp anthem xem.

after the big success of the reissue of “mbg ep one”, we are proud to introduce the release of optik “music harmony & rhythm”, another great ep originally released in 1991 under mbg international records. optik is the alias of giorgio canepa and ricky montanari, two of the most talented italian producers from the early 90s italian underground-house movement. in this ep we find two killer deep-house tracks, “music harmony and rhythm” and “illusions”, two great examples of the italo-house touch of the early 90s that we found in a lots of other productions by mbg, don carlos and key tronics ensemble, to name a few plus “illusion” which is also sure an epic track, it was the last disc played at vae victis (misano, italy) and the first disc played at novenove (gradara, italy), two of the most famous italian after hours of the 90 s era. fully re-mastered, dmm cutted, re-pressed & re-released for 2015 in it s original format from the original mastertapes, with the permission & participation of all rights holders with all original mbg label artwork intact.

after the success of the henry wu & chaos in the cbd releases, rhythm section international present their 9th offering from mancunian newcomer contours. technician is a percussion led rhythmic exploration, spanning 6 tracks which take in down-tempo grooves to up-beat workouts, all held together by a smooth, lucid sonic palette and arresting, unorthodox live percussive elements. already an accomplished drummer and percussionist, contours manages to combine driving rhythm, lush textures and hypnotic melodies to create a sound that feels very much at home as part of the rhythm section imprint, while simultaneously pushing it forward into new, undiscovered territory. one for the heads, one for the dancers, one for the warm up, one for the afterparty.

pascal feos drops a a little weight to come with an elegantly rollin remix deriving magic from minmal workouts.

uk-based techno producers deepbass & nax_acid team up for a special 12- collaboration on the planet rhythm ltd imprint. their three-tracker *illustrated machinery ep* showcases the deeper techno sound in its widest range.

detroits jared wilson provides the 10th release for super rhythm trax and it lives up to it s title.
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).

the 5th edition of ( djebali ) presents is here, and it features a number of new and forward-thinking artists, 3 moody tracks full of deepness by rhythm&soul, label manager of slow town records, and on a mission records along with jef k … it comes with a remix of two diggers !

raw techno tracks

we welcome back mr ks with his second tsuba ep, this time a collaboration with fellow frenchman rhythm & soul. the result is three tracks of pure underground house heat already receiving dj support from clive henry, djebali, chris carrier and dan ghenacia.

what you want welcomes cntrl with his modulated rhythm ep to the labelfamily. vinyl only release.

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 !

martin buttrich - two new projects born simultaneously. his new label, rhythm assault, is intended to be an outlet for impulsive releases of his own music, free from the constraints of rigorously organised and planned imprints. the labels first project gives birth to collaborator - a two volume project seeing martin release a continuous stream of brilliant collaborations with the likes of carl craig, guti, dj tennis, loco dice, timo maas, the martinez brothers, guy gerber to name but a few. the first collaboration titled synchronicity, with mathew jonson.

stunning double a side 2 tracker from luca lozano giving a respectful and wistful nod to the uk born sound of early bleeps and bass. the music is bleak and beautiful with massive basslines and razor sharp percussion. expertly crafted and dangerous on the dancefloors!
