*** vinyl only release, no digital release***
after sides from matthew burton, seuil and albert schwartz, sammy dees ultrastretch label returns in 2013 with volkan akin. a regular presence at berlin institutions like club der visionäre, akin has been slowly rolling out his brand of prickly, spaced-out club tracks since the end of the last decade, both under his own name and as v for volkan. but if volkan akin has up until now been unfamiliar beyond germany, his ultrastretch debut, voltage, featuring an absolute beast of a ricardo villalobos remix, stands to turn more than a few heads in his direction. densely packed and intricately constructed, voltage is an extended groove you can get lost in. cymbals ring softly amidst whirrs of faintly melodic clicks, scratches and voices. but at the center of akins churning, percussive arrangement lies a warm and weighty kick sure to keep dancers pinned to the floor. like so many great perlon records, voltage can be taken as a deeply considered exercise in sound design or as a deadly club track simultaneously, with akins musical sophistication and knack for an inviting beat working hand-in-hand. the original mix spends over 11 minutes unraveling, but as you fall further into the swirl of akins interlocking rhythms, youre likely to stop counting. a shorter constant voltage mix evokes sunrise, pulling back the originals heft to reveal gorgeous pads and hints of organic rhythm. ricardo villalobos, sammys longtime label mate at perlon and a producer who likely needs no introduction, digs deeper into the thump at the heart of voltage on his acdc remix. focusing on the originals wisps of melody, villalobos turns in a warm, zoned-in remix that feels of a piece with the singular techno trips found on his recent lp dependent and happy

true school house and techno joints for the dj who wants to rock the dancefloor. ricardo jefferson has appeared on labels such as third ear recordings, nang records, 22 digit records and many more. he has also had his music championed by the likes of ricardo villalobos, laurent garnier, ben watt and graeme park. ricardo has set up art-star recordings to release more of his own material and as a platform for new artists wishing to get their productions heard.

hauschkas first releases of 2012 come in the form of two stunning remix 12 inches that are pitched at the dancefloor and kick off a wider project of reinterpretations of his last full-length. here, ep1 sees two serious heavyweights of minimal techno delivering very different, yet complentary versions. this 12 inch is the first of two vinyl-only eps, running in advance of a full album of electronically-angled remixes of >salon des amateurs<.

it is with great honour that in paradisum welcome sometime border community and traum schallplatten artist ricardo tobar into the label for the fourth chapter in our fledgling story. the esoteric/carnaval ep reveals four tracks that further showcase the chilean producers unerring grasp for electronic music that combines moments of introspection with the unshakeable urge to lose yourself in the moment.
tobar is extending this plunge towards all new uncompromising techno territory from various, equally engrossing angles. pitch the rough hewn mutant beat dance of >esoteric< next to fizzing, acid tainted textures of >recuerdos< or the grinding journey through dantes inferno that is >carnaval< and its easy to see why tobar has been accommodated into the in paradisum fold.

vinyl only! synths glittering through the night are pierced by metallic percussion and crushed by bass frequencies from a deep abyss! many times have ricardo esposito and micheal nadjé demonstrated their tight dj skills all over europe and now these two brothers have stepped up their game yet again to craft two tracks in a most simple and efficient way that only early chi house is capable of. claps, toms and tambourines rushing fiercely through arped hooks bring back that 87 feeling! the flip transports us back to the present day in the form of two remixes, but wont betray the a-sides spirit. for b1 john spring trades arpeggios for chords and introduces a thump you will surely be able to feel on the floor. kyle, on the other hand, hooks up his analog gear and pulls out synth lines that will get everyone on the dance floor dizzy – but only until the bass line crushes their chests.

overriding love of melody, warm and fuzzy, intensely melodic electronic music

> music is being passed, inhaled, and expelled into nothingness. in order to fight the nonexistence of music we need to get those round plastic archives back into our hand< as you understood those archives are vinyls…the only way to keep the music alive in our head and soul through our hands, as ricardo said…and you know how much we care about that! miranda first ep on bosconi will be probably one of his last on any other label before he starts his brand new imprint. after releasing on some of the most respected techno/house label of the globe, as neroli, rush hour and reincarnation, rm doesn&#700,,t need further introductions…so we&#700,,ll quickly tell you that here you get a three tracker of pure raw analogue pleasure and proper dancefloor goodness including the bouncy acid house groover >state of mind<, the dry, nasty and minimilastic chicago rooted drum tool track called > drum with the funk<, and in the end the peaceful, dreamy and atmospheric trip of > no sound<….all the necessary ingredients for you to not leave this record out of your bag! vinyl will save our soul

the labeldebute from be that as it may is served by ricardo esposito and michael nadje, with friendly support from luke hess.
the a-side of the record is the epic title track >nieves<, that in a straight way controls the nightly events on the basement floors. nieves is without a doubt taking each and every clubber on a mind trip. thanks to the drums in various arrangements, in combination with the heavy bass, nieves generates a forcing groove that even makes the floor dance.
luke hess reshapes nieves in a consisting and open way. with the given resources the remix is coming to an unsurpassed dynamic, which through percussion and dubby chord patterns is impressively direct. with this interpretation hess respectfully completes the release with sovereignty. vivantes is a classic tool which builds on the foundations of dub and rhythm. through the strongly repetitive pattern vivantes developes to something meditative, grounding the listener at the end of a journey of this extended play.
it is what it is.

sie trägt das herz auf der zunge und tanzt als gebe es kein morgen: musik ist für aerea negrot nicht nur kunst, sie ist auch die luft die sie zum leben braucht. die autobiographischen songs ihres debütalbums >arabxilla< gewähren einen tiefen einblick in ihr seelenleben und vermeiden es sich einem konkreten musikalischen genre zu verschreiben. mal bildet techno, dann house und im nächsten moment elektronik das fundament für ihre augenzwinkernd ernsten lieder. als direkte referenzen nennt die venezuelanerin gern klaus nomi, yma sumac und maria callas. jenseits des gesangs gibt es nur zwei produzenten die sie über alles verehrt: titonton duvante und ricardo villalobos. letzterer steuert nun einen remix zu ihrer neusten 12inch auskopplung bei. wie immer gibt er sich bei seiner variante des tracks >miss you< minimal, bassgewaltig und episch. vierzehn minuten rhythmus aus dem bauch heraus, so wie nur er ihn arrangieren kann. auch der berliner philip bader schätzt es minimal und verwandelt den track >its lover, love in eine charmant hüpfende house-sensation, deren sonnige magie einen ganze wochenenden lang in atem halten kann. näher dran am original und nicht minder originell spielt kiki mit >its lover, love<. aereas stimme wird hier sehnsüchtig über einen houserhythmus geloopt und verhext das ohr mit einem intensiven stimmen-dschungel. würde der name witch-house nicht längst anderweitig vergeben sein, kiki dürfte als sein erfinder gelten.

chicagos ricardo miranda makes his debut for the ace stilove4music label, maintaining a fine year in which he has already dropped some serious heat on rush hour sub-label hour house is your rush and his own noble square imprint. title track >102point7< is all jagged synths, throbbing arpeggios, slashing claps and a rolling acid groove, marking it out as one of his most incendiary productions to date. on the flip >rotary cells< is deeper still, a 909-led jacker with undulating layers of sub bass augmented by a wonderfully woozy vocal which extols the virtues of true chicago house. this is followed by >greenline<, a stripped back jam with scuttling hats and the kind of paranoid synth melody that wouldnt sound out of place in jeff mills something in the sky series. this is dark, raw, pulsating dance music - highly recommended.

slamming hypnotic ricardo stuff!! decks tipp!

berlin-based djs and composers ricardo villalobos and max loderbauer - two of the best-known names in contemporary electronica - share their admiration for music on ecm in a unique double-album of specially-created >sound-structures<. their project >re: ecm< will bring the labels music to a new listenership. it is certain to be one of the most talked-about albums of the season. using original ecm recordings as a starting point, villalobos and loderbauer create new music that bridges several worlds, including ecms world of space-conscious improvisation and composition and the worlds of ambient electronics and minimal techno. source materials on >re: ecmÓ include recordings of christian wallumr¿d, alexander knaifel, louis sclavis, john abercrombie, bennie maupin, arvo pŠrt, wolfert brederode, paul giger and more - looped, sampled, remixed and reworked in evocative new treatments. pleased with the duos creative response to his productions manfred eicher gave them carte blanche to carry on experimenting with the ecm titles of their choice. eicher subsequently supervised the mastering of >re: ecm< in munich, completing a unique sonic experience.

taragana pyjarama is 21 year old nick eriksen from denmark, >taragana pyjarama< is his debut release on french house label fool house, following the self imposed death of previous project elm ick, which went onto release on john talabots hivern label (barcelona). the release features three original tracks, ‘,sundanese blonde’,, ‘,ocean’, and ‘,girls’, the breakout track that had the mp3 blog dance community in raptures at the tail of of summer ‘,10. eriksen may feel at home creating deep new house productions but it’,s natural attraction towards the journey in his productions that resonate most, no less so in ‘,sundanese blonde’, perhaps the stand out track on the ep and the sole track to feature a vocal. ricardo tobar provides a pulsating take on ‘,girls’,. as for the definition of taragana pyjarama? we’,re still not sure.

after the emotive release of rick howard, its time for hhyr to step it up a notch again with fellow chicagoian ricardo miranda, who already gave us >black acid< last year and also was featured on rick wilhites >vibes< compilation. <br (/>>floorwax< urges us to do the damn thing, assuming that he leaves us no choice but to slam dance to this hypnotic acid work out, which reminds us slighly of earlier dj funk material. >redline< further explores the boundaries of acid house originale. it starts out with just drums and a pulsating acid line, but halfway through a utopian string line eases in and shows us the way to the promised land. keep your heads up and dance to the music.

newcomer ricardo rae with a straight stomper on this hot tango solo debut. >hold on< is a tangy gem of crisp, clean and snapping deep house - loads of thick basslines, key stabs and some jazzy elements working nicely in the mix. on the flip the hot chuck love kills it with his mix - toughening up the percussion a bit, laying down a buzzing bassline and throwing down a tasty breakdown, all with that trademark chuck love funky strut. solid stuff for the youngman, heather and fred everything fans here.

yes! we are going back to the roots again! chicago producer ricardo miranda kicks it raw with this acid burner. this steady club track already caught the ears of rick wilhite, who will include ricardo miranda in his upcoming vibes compilation album. on the b-side we have chicago head legowelt doing a remix, which is a tribute to the late 80s chicago era. deep and moody. essential house stuff!
