unreleased tracks by the chicago master ...
ron maney also known as dj skull lived in the southside of chicago (il, usa). his musical career started during the summer of 1986, while recovering from a broken bone. during the following years he homed his craft, djing first at basement parties, building his reputation to go on to larger events such as, loft and hotel parties, and eventually the infamous music box and power plant clubs. at the age of fifteen ron shopped his first demo at trax records. there he first met chicago s legendary dj ron hardy, working as a&r for trax records. two years, and a new alias later (dj skull) later while at the power plant, chicago s own steve poindexter heard a dj playing one of rons tracks, and met ron. steve was now a&r at saber records and invited ron to release some tracks. so in october of 1991 dj skull s first record -n.r.g. music- was released. in 1993, he released the ep -the stomping grounds- on djax-up-beats, which was more noted than the first one. over the years that followed dj skull released lots of ep s on several labels. he has become well-respected producer and dj in the techno industry

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…

jbla came into being after julian jöckel (midnightopera) and stuart argabright (ike yard, black rain, o13) performed at a party in brussels on the 5th of oct. 2012 on invitation from bernardo risquez & michael langeder (different fountains). they all had met for the first time the year before through michael kreitz from meakusma when different fountains & o13 played concerts in eupen. after staying at different fountains studio the day after the brussels event they set up a rather improvised jam session. julian played synth on a yamaha dx7, bernardo worked the low frequencies on an old eminent organ while michael contributed machine sounds and took care of the live fx engineering. stuart put together some words and brought a beat to the occasion of the jam session at the df studio. during the short euro tour with ike yard, l.i.e.s label head ron morelli and artist svengalisghost came to the paris show and were talking with stuart about the streetwalkers of belleville, specifically the sad chinese hookers out on the street. combined with news about recent foxxconn workers suicides in china and witnessing altercations close to the air bnb where he stayed. the belleville ep are two cuts from that session with remixes from ron morelli + svengalisghost and vereker, pressed on translucent vinyl.

ron morelli returns to stare down the ‘floor with four pieces written during the stress-busting sessions for ‘spit’. the muggy, droning welt of ‘public consumption’ kicks off with the sound of new york techno shot from the hip, while ‘another hit’ vents a vintage era-regis style built on skull-chipping snares and effluent acid modulation. the album’s writhing batacuda banger, ‘crack microbes’ reappears here as an extra-ferric extended version, sustaining the hypnotic intensity for nine minutes of panic attack acid and febrile cowbells, while ‘’rushing again’ escorts us to a close with triplet techno shook down by railgun snares and a grotty synthline.

vinyl only! handstamped! after the successful label launch >pure 001<, the follow-up release >pure 002 - tribute to gerberei< is now on the starting blocks.
the two former gerberei residents ron albrecht & stefan rein announce their a1 track >tatort< using their pseudonym >brothers in mind< while remaining true to their typical sound that goes back 20 years: pumping functional techno for the floor. thats it!
longtime friend and companion andre kronert was brought in for the a2 project. he contributes a fulminant remix of the song >tatort< as an absolute statement to techno - pure and direct, just like it was celebrated in the gerberei for almost 19 years. what a club-monster!
stefan rein as well as the mysterious s.e.p.e. are in charge of the b side of the record. >unwavering detroit<, created by stefan rein, is to be understood as a deep bow of honor for many great years and stunning sounds in the >holy halls< of the club... never forget!s.e.p.e. closes with the b2 title >we will find you<, without making a secret of his dedication to techno.
who the fuck is s.e.p.e.?

massively anticipated debut album from ron morelli, founder/boss of acclaimed brooklyn label l.i.e.s. (resident advisor #1 label of the year 2012, amongst many other accolades), *spit* is the first in a trio of related releases from morelli due on hospital productions in the coming months. the album features 8 electronic variants, from house and industrial tape experiments to saturated metallic beat tracks. mastered and cut by matt colton at alchemy. there is so much that could be said about ron morelli, his l.i.e.s. label, or the fact that his debut album comes to you via hospital productions, but instead, here are some words from the man himself: i m a regular guy, enjoy a good steak, drinking beer, and occasionally a game of pro basketball, republican talk radio ... you know ... all the good stuff.

love fever, the infamous and erogenous east london discotheque and record label returns with some late night works in the form of ron jason and kim ann foxman s the dream project ep . after ron jason s paradise garage evoking and much played paradise lost (with love fever regular larry heard remixes) caught the ear of label bosses alex & andy last year with its depth and sincerity, ron was tracked down, discovered as italy s enigma simoncino and connected with brooklyn s fly girl and modernist diva kim ann foxman to explore possibilities in house.

ron costas brand new ep for trapez features the tracks >bazis puzzle< and >fraaz<, which show his liking for the borderline of house and techno. >bazis puzzle< is a bassline heavy groover that swoons with its kinetic catchiness and polyrhythmic drumming. it is really the amazing sound design, funky and ear catching leads, coupled with sophisticated arrangement that make it a soulful experience for dj and clubbers. >fraaz< is a mesmerizing polyrhythmic dj track, a rhythm rocker, with a fantastic stop and go feeling, a track that constantly builds up tension and releases it in its sensual breaks.

in january the debut album the damage is done by hot coins, the disco crossbreed project by danny berman (best known for his house productions as red rack em), was released. his personal time machine journey into the sights and sounds of downtown new york sometime around the late seventies/early eighties is much more than a tribute to his heroes of those times. its also a brilliant examination of todays club music.

after a 10 year hiatus, ron delivers *the lost tapes*. 4 true high adrenaline first generation pure detroit techno tracks.
