august 2016 saw running back release a first volume of live tracks from redshape, but january 2017 sees the much loved artist return to delsin, his most regard label, for a second offering of the same. this time the ep has one track made in paris, and one in london, and both are filled with the sort of beautifully bleak and lo-fi sounds that have made this man such a standout artist over the years. up first is london, a chugging track that builds in pressurised layers of coarse hi hats, gurgling bass and pinging kick drums. it is a hypnotic groove that teases you as elements drop in and out and hisses of static and broken little guitar riffs add some cheeky funk. on the flip-side, paris is much more playful, with colourful pixelated melodies dancing about the mix, industrial drums working down low and steppy synths fleshing things out. overall it sounds like a future disco for inebriated robots and is one of redshape s more party starting tracks.

grill by gbubemi amas is as smooth as the red cardigan artfully slung around his shoulders on the cover. whether he is running through the scales on a cover version of ‘fire and rain’, or trying on his calypso highlife moves on ‘ereyon’, you know amas is a man with a smooth line for every occasion.

for the next volume of the long running turntables on the hudson series, we head down south to brazil to get a little dancefloor sunshine to warm up these cold winter months. the turntables on ipanema ep features four tracks on a 12inch from the digital compilation which will be dropping the same day on wonderwheel recordings. first up, brazil s dj g gives us samba da terra, a deep, jazzy brazilian house/samba fusion joint sure to get all the dancers on the floor. next, the ever prolific simbad comes through with the brand new detroit de janiero, a bangin track equally inspired by early motor city techno as the drum rhythms of brazil. on the flip side, nickodemus and simbad collaborate on berimboom another deep electronic house joint with an infectious bassline that percussively floats into rio. rounding up the ep, wonderwheel mainstay zeb comes with the slo-mo spacey dub house vibes of space forest.

nice price deal !!! atesh k. is a dj/producer from cyprus. he is running regular beats records with mustafa goze aka asi.now releasing a smooth techhouse tune on outland records. oldskool sounds flying round your ears and a throbbing beat to make the people dance. atesh k. is doing it again!anoesjka, a fresh female dj/producer from amsterdam fills in the b-side with a deep, stretched remix and gives it a proper redirection!

forthright, razor sharp techno tracks running at a neck-breaking pace that will leave you breathless, remain neutral is all about the urgency and the purposely crafted indiscipline meant to make you twist your body in every directions. spoke throughout the feral scratches of overworked drum machines and the whiff distorted vocal samples taken from a tape found by chance, france via belgium s mehdi kernachi carries on with his exploration of the danger notion in electronic music -- borrowing as much to the slower, noisier industrial music of yesteryear as the speeded basement hysteria of rave culture -- applying the scorched-earth policy throughout his tracks.

having done such wonderful work alongside wolf muller on the sound of glades album, cass makes a welcome return with an expansive album release on emotional response. the german producer s ambient tendencies blossom here, occasionally meeting with laconic drums as on u but primarily dealing in huge swathes of melody. djs will want to hold out for the dramatic pulse of ann, where a more pronounced drum set makes for one of the album s most club-ready moments. theres a strong variety of tones and moods across youth sessions, from the strafing arpeggios of running to the bliss-out shapeless swirl of prismatic prolog, and this ensures that the album will not dull with repeated listens.

cw/a are producers thomas feriero and francesco leali, known for their releases and remixes on parachute, r&s, decca and vakant, their work as avatism, clockwork, opus 3000 and house ov leaves, crushing live shows around the globe and running parachute alongside dj tennis since 2013. with ringleader the duo return with their first original productions since their debut full length, last years critically acclaimed words unspoken, acts undone. inspired by global trends towards orwellian mass surveillance and cyber espionage, ringleader aims to be an audible interpretation of big data, ubiquitous connections and the acceptance of corporate and government spying. grim and mechanical by nature, the six tracks — named after leaked codenames of government tools used to watch on citizens — work as a soundtrack to the destruction of privacy: a cold reflection on this aspect of society and its implications.
the vinyl ep includes a downloadcode.

dj support comes from ben ufo, jon k and hodge. semtek returns with his first work since 2012, when he contributed 12inches to world unknown, awkward movements and in plain sight. in the meantime the cambridge-born, bristol-based producer and dj has been hard at work running his label don t be afraid, bringing through talent including mr beatnick and mgun. bad teeth consists of nothing more complicated than two complementary tracks for the dancefloor, inspired by bleep n bass, jungle and two-step. the title track rolls moody synths, metallic stabs and offbeat drums into a rugged uk house joint. jon of worcester twists similar elements around a broken groove, cutting between drum machine and breakbeats. both tracks feature rolling basslines tuned for maximum soundsystem pressure.

nice price deal !!! ryota o.p.p aka ryota arai delivers his debut album pale lux for meda fury. ryota is based in tokyo at the nexus of the japanese house / future disco scene, alongside cohorts such as cos/mes, inoue shirabe, and kza he blends eastern mysticism, jazz spirituality, and cosmic disco with classic 4:4 rhythms. a highly respected dj, promoter and producer the opaque discoid-stomp of his future life ep marked him out as an original oddity but a vital new voice in the now global electronic music community, but with pale lux hes enlarged the scope of his musical canvas to incorporate new fresh textures and atmospheres. as meda fury head honcho nick williams explains: future life was built from some quite dark, abstract demos, some of which ended up being a bit overproduced for his self made debut cd only album. the pale lux lp is a ryotas fully realised eclectic vision, with a mood that is more optimistic and playful - much more reflective of his personality.pale lux indeed has a real narrative flow - dance floor tracks such as the chunky balearic vibes of wood, and banging future techno of bird flying over the rainbow nestle alongside home listening ambience witness the backroom/chill-out vibes of origin, the cute hip hop bounce of soft touch or the delicate trinket box chimes of outro drops. oscillating between light and shade, slow and fast, the influence of japan s history and native instrumentation runs right through the record, his fascination with balearic, disco, deep-house, hip hop, ambient and blunted beats parcelled into a glorious, sweetly considered listening experience.

the latest single taken from no fantasy required, blondes have more fun exemplifies tigas knack for deceptively deep songwriting and lush production. it is accompanied by a trio of remixers from contemporary electronica royalty: prolific swedish producer on-the-rise on part 1 jonas rathsman, running back boss gerd janson and and international house and techno breakout du jour, the black madonna on part 2.

that which is not said...
twins is matt weiner who is also known for his featureless ghost project and of course as the head of the dka records label… his project twins is not limited to one specific style but the dominant characteristic is the synth driven sound… other influences in the mix are various styles of dance music and a healthy dose of arty post-punk… this new mini album “rather not” is the perfect blending of all of this… due to this it is on the one hand a classic minimal elektro record but at the same time a rather modern piece of electronic music… catchy tunes and surprising twists go hand in hand and make up for an authentic and original record… which is more stunning every time you play it!

a great remix package from billy nasty’s electrix label very limited vinyl pressing one of the uk’s longest running electro acts, transparent sound feature on the next ep from billy nasty’s electrix label, with three other mainstays of the scene, larry mccormick, mr velcro fastener and sync 24 all offering their remix skills.

sleazy mcqueen, ne laurin fedora, has been one of the u.s.’s foremost purveyors of classic disco, fuzzy house, and funky edits for over a decade, so its about time we bring him into the fold at lph. doing it in style and with a bang by delivering a package that includes two originals—the cosmic huit etoiles and the bumpin shuffler galway jam—plus two remixes of the titular track, one by kenji takimi, best known as the founder of japans preeminent dance music label, crue­l, one by gerd janson, the head honcho at running back as well as lauers better half in tuff city kids.

all naked records hit the ground running with four flaming tracks by artists they hold dear.
the rigologo side features a ghost future track that takes you back to the chicago of 1994, but adds that little something extra. rawmental then pushes through into detroit territory with an epic and infectious synth jam. the techno side, launches with a club ready techno burner from captcha (aka strip steve) and finishes with a nate tone track. an essential debut release.

tanzflur-dresseur reinhard voigt ist mit neuer garnitur am start, ein tandem von zwei rohen, eigensinnigen technoschiebern, die nahtlos an das hochgelobte solo-release reisen & speisen (kompakt 338) und die zündende time is running split-ep mit michael mayer (kompakt 328) anschliessen. dazwischen konnte er sogar noch ein bisschen spielraum im geschäftigen kompakt-treiben herausschälen, um einen seltenen remix für el_txef_a auf dem aufstrebenden underground-label forbidden colours unterzubringen. nie um einen kopfnicker-dreh verlegen, fügt sich voigts jüngste veröffentlichung kontraste mit kraftvollem, minimalistischem techno gar kuschelig ins bisherige gesamtwerk: oszillierend zwischen reiner bewegung und monumental-abstraktem riff, verwebt the singing saw auf der a-seite mehrere angeraute synthesizer-motive um eine stoisch-ermächtigende bassdrum herum, während sich die b-seiten-aufnahme trust für die panorama-route entscheidet und seine täuschend simplen, doch ungeheuer effektiven lead-sounds zu einem überragenden schleifer mit seidenkante auftürmt. wie von reinhard voigt zu erwarten war, ist hier das ganze grösser als die summe seiner teile - ein weiterer beleg für seine meisterschaft in sachen kracher mit kniff.

ltd 2016 repress, enorm stilsicher und voller wissen navigiert der 19-jährige max graef durch old-school-hip hop, klassischen techno /elektro bis zu 70er-funk und jazz.

a project that came to life fuelled by collectors obsession and a lifelong willingness to dive head- first into unknown musical wormholes, miles whittaker and sean canty have never been defined by a singular musical trajectory. their opening salvo of releases dabbled with the aesthetic of the occult and provided an alternate, parallax view of the italian library records with which they were both obsessed at the time, but as their long running mixtape series and brilliantly curated dds label attest, their interests extend far outside the crevices of early electronic music and into dance music, dancehall, roots, jungle, techno, industrial, noise and beyond. while 2013s testpressing series provided an outlet for mostly club-based productions shot from the hip, wonderland has been constructed with a narrative in mind.from the clipped hardstyle of the opening curzon, through the jaunty dancehall mutations of animal style and fulledge, exotica/house refractions on hardnoise, the frankly ridiculous, bassbin destroying jungle ructions on sourcer, or the extended tease of overstaying, its probably the most enjoyable and loose-limbed hour of music in their catalogue, or that youll likely hear in these weird, angst-ridden times.

chicago has always been a place that had talented musicians. it has been a hub for soul, funk, blues, and jazz for generations. the significance of the real sound of chicago release in disco compilation terms is that many chicago private disco labels never made it out of the city. just like chicago house music...

huge remix package with works from thomas hessler, norman nodge, ron albrecht and the automatic message. the label from avion strikes with its 8th installment releasing a kicking remix package from the previous crossing 007 various artists. the release starts with the thomas hessler remix of “sut“ a track from the argentinian producer pfirter. thomas used the outer atmosphere bringing it to an upper tempo defining a groove made for the floors. norman nodge and his minimal trip from avion’s explosive track “thrill“. flimmering noises, a reduced drum and an atmosphere which is between lunatic and melancholic warmth. in ron albrechts remix of doka’s “mural“ the time is still running different, staying surreal wthout losing ist mood kicking off to move the floor. the automatic message lay their hands on stefan rein’s “amorphous material“ and stripped down the punchy and jacking atmosphere to a reduced version without losing its functionality and highlighting the characteristic synth pad to remain the smile factor of the original track.

ein ruhiges, intimes und reduziertes album, das von gesang und text lebt.
die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive album-cd.

pop ambient - our longest-running compilation series after total - sees a new instalment for 2017, featuring exclusive material from acclaimed genre veterans and series newcomers jens-uwe beyer, yui onodera & scanner, max wÜrden, leandro fresco, thore pfeiffer, kenneth james gibson and soulsavers remixed by wolfgang voigt.

with jealous god, eerie and l.i.e.s on his c.v. they don t come much more approved that domenico crisci, but few would be prepared for the onslaught that leaps out of this first release on summa cum laude. the violinist champions distortion as a weapon, running everything through a fuzz pedal in a most unrelenting of fashions. its certainly not for the feint-hearted, and all the more powerful with it. meanwhile return would sound brutal in any other context were it not for what came before, all slamming, grubby drums and the noises that splay off them. blacklord them manages to push the vibe further back into the red with a searing throwdown to finish the ep off in a masterful display of intensity.

ut of control hot tracks provided on the 3rd ep from chicago basement trax! this vinyl has it all featuring the 1992 style that influenced jeremy underground paris to create mliu as well as 1980s trax reminiscent of artists like mike dunn or steve poindexter. at that point we d be happy but there is even more included for the disco edit and dub crowd. you can t go wrong with this ep!

following on from alex cellers haz / pacificon single, baby fords ever on-point trelik label turns to jonno & tommo, a production duo with a rising profile in and around the london house music scene.

mysterious dj & producer, roy comanchero, follows up his largely successful debut ep on running back and a recent 12- comp contribution to deliver his second ep on the mysidian label. the signature sounds created with the budget hardware in comanchero s first offerings continue on beach & parasol. from the opening listen, a beautiful atmosphere with a mellow, bright & clear theme to the record ensures that the ep is accurately titled. no matter the season or the weather outside, beach and parasol will take you to the tranquil seaside of your mind s desire. super limited us imports

brutaz is a long-running party series held in various polish cities as well as in berlin, naively trying to join different attitudes towards sound and dance.
draveng’s record is the second record released, following and contradicting a wheedling analogue roller by jules venturini, an ep for anyone who has a heart. however, after a brief period of research and self-experimenation, we’re sure that brutaz-02 won’t help you stay sane and salubrious.

keys in the ignition, no turning back: dubfire and miss kitten are about to take us on another late night road trip. and this time there are two very special ways to ride, plotting new routes from where they last dropped us off in 2014 with exit, and presented in miss kittins own artwork, the two long term friends and musical kindred spirits cover a side each with two version journeys youll never forget. kittin jumps straight on the autobahn in a tank-shaped techno hummer. thumping the tarmac down with every gas-guzzling kickdrum, lights blur and trace and the mission gathers momentum as we cruise almost majestically into a brighter unknown. dubfire brings us back home via the trusty widescreen house plains. roads running parallel with the grand, emotional highways he once took as deep dish, the vanishing point is far on the horizon where a vast sky of twinkling stars opens up with a feeling you could ride for days on end. unhurried, restrained and timelessly crisp and futuristic: trips like this dont come about very often the keys are in the ignition, care to take a ride?

jimi jules has a small but perfectly formed discography. equinox on zukunft is his debut album, and sees him successfully expand his musical repertoire beyond the club-ready deep house he s known for. thanks to the use of musicians - drummers, guitarists and such-like - there s a loose, warm and quietly soulful feel throughout.

hailing from bucharest, romania the vinyl speed adjust duo have been rapidly on the rise as producers and djs over the past few years with a back catalogue boasting material on pressure traxx, gilesku records, colours in music and visionquest where they return to here, as well accolades from leading industry names such as ricardo villalobos, raresh and rhadoo. here we see the pair back on fine form for visionquest following their carpe diem ep on the label in 2015 and taking the lead is title track retro which sees things taken down a percussive led path via modulating pot drums, murky bass flutters and screeching atmospherics. det riot follows and ups the energy levels with robust rhythms and stuttering vocal chops running with subtly unfolding arps, and further howling expansive swells hidden in the depths of the record before stretch souls rounds things off, closing with tumbling organic percussion, soft pad sweeps and a rumbling low end drive.

techno duo slam present a brand new artist album “machine cut noise”. with the double vinyl album, machine cut noise, stuart mcmillan & orde meikle delve into the everyday workings of what makes us human, with life, so to speak, running at the very heart of album. much of their time is spent on the road, therefore, many of the original ideas for the album were created in airports, hotels and where ever the two found themselves inspired around the world. this created a vibe that each track was born of the modern machine itself.

essential repress of terrence dixon’s debut album and first release on tresor.
initially released in 2000, this new edition comes with a bonus 7” vinyl featuring two previously uncut tracks: “ what up” and “shuffle all circuits”.
from the far future embodies a specific and vital time of detroit‘s techno production, going hand in hand with juan atkins’ work as infiniti, terrence dixon signed this album with a masterful hand.

following on from the under-the-radar success of mick wills edits of ale mania on sbz001, sign bit zero strides onwards with a set of punishing dancefloor interpretations of forgotten industrial gems handpicked by hamburg s wosto and label head honcho, kilian krings.

new sounds from an old friend... i d been running franklin de costa s records for years, but after i played for his party in berlin a few years back we kept in touch. he runs a club night called mother s finest which puts on artists like tessela, truss, untold, dj fett burger and more, as well as releasing singles under his own name on labels like killekill and curle, and, as mudkid, beautiful tracks on greta cottage workshop. the three trax built for this ep on not so much are, like anything fresh and futuristic, hard to pin down in words. sssooo is a kind of detuned chattering b-boy cut that slides sideways between dimensions while always driving forward. mldk is another one for any dancers with moves.

production duo mark richards & james eliot aka solardo are the next to make their mark on hot creations with tribesme, delivering two heavy-duty cuts destined to stir serious heat in the club. already doing the rounds worldwide at the hands of some of the biggest names in the business, tribesmen and psycho girlfriend are built straight for the dancefloor around dense and heavy basslines, punchy percussion and prominent vocal slices. hailing from manchester, solardo are continuing the citys rich heritage in house music whilst carving out their own sound in the house and techno scene with releases on madtech, mta records and more recently of unsound mind. their string of successful releases has gained them an army of fans across the board from jamie jones to jackmaster. the pair also run a weekly radio show on rinse fm and are residents of the well known kaluki party as well as running their own successful event series, solardo sessions.

escorting sarah hit the ground running with ‘elephant in my box’, its low slung cavernous kick drum making a serious statement of intent before the the track’s grimy synth pushes forth to serve up some deliciously sleazy warehouse vibes. ‘pov’ ups the dirt considerably, metallic shards of phunk permeate, their edges rubbed raw with distortion whilst ‘spank’ offers up a sleeker, but no less deadly, slab of techno weaponry.

those who preordered, do not have to do so again, we will contact you when we have stock! the music fell into the lap of wt records and it seemed only natural to release this 2 part big room art piece. moon temple is gabriel andruzzi. you may know him as the bass player/sax guy/engineer of a well known defunct nyc band. this well polished piece contains 9 tracks of delicate interludes, big room acid stompers, and weirdo spastic mechanical marches. there is no way to know if this release will end up in a big room, a sweaty basement, or a museum. not only does it sound good but there is a visual aspect too. both 12inchs (pressed on 45) are packaged in beautiful silver foil op art by moscows art crime.

pampa is ecstatic to welcome berlins mike denhert for his label debut. known for an uncompromising, heads-down approach to moving dance floors, whether as a producer, a dj, or in his live incarnation, mike has provided 2 original tracks that are as distinct as they are relentless, possessed of a cerebral quality that belies their tough and stripped back aesthetic. how close to be is a stuttering march of half heard and half imagined discourse, broken by bright synthesis which disappears before it can fully form, with the disorientating sonics held in check only by the rigidity of rhythm running throughout the tracks length. its both surprising and linear. dark and uplifting. me too is also a creature of opposing ideologies. warped moving jazz plays with static motorik patterns, automation curls around repetition, and textures change position throughout. bright keys warp, and swing ebbs in and flows out, all to an eventually breathless but ultimately compelling sum of these parts

soukas mix by dj sotofett might be a snake charmers terrain in clubland, with stomping percussions and that fairytail flute crossing over more than half of the tracks 11 min. running time. vera dvale s debut track fills out the b-side with a spectacularly heavy drone that transforms from sub-driven landscape to melodic noise and back again. both sides with essential 12inch club sound.

the term cosmic classic has been banded around increasingly in the last decade, with its modern disco retake, thankfully, soon running out of steam. however, in michael chapmans lescudjack we see the genius of daniele baldelli in finding obscure records that do not fit the traditional dance floor and making them work.

the sixth release on voitax acid dedication is on the cutting edge between fast running 90 s acid revivals and deep timeless pieces. the first four tracker is a mix between abrasive techno tracks and mindblowing top notch stompers. voitax keeps pursuing the path of the undefinable while dedicating their passion to the sound and less to the producers behind the releases.

seeing as public release is a san francisco label and sister to face, a long-running local party, you could say it was inevitable the label would put out a record that candidly celebrates its hometowns talent, color, character. 415-pr10, whose name is an ode to s.f.s first, emblematic area code, is exactly that: a frenetic survey of some of northern california’s finest producers— and a blueprint of sorts for more similarly-minded and themed eps in the future

crossing returns with cracking and dreamy techno from pfirter, avion, doka and stefan rein. the label from avion strikes with its 7th installment releasing a package of 4 new techno slices from different producers showing what crossing stands for. the release starts with ‘sut‘ a track from the argentinian producer pfirter which creates an outer atmosphere with its pad, surrounding percussions and space running frequencies carried by this straight deep bass drum. a beauty. avion doesn’t take any captives and kicks the floor with a never ending trip of industrial percussions, noises, a heavy drum and a groove that will grab and never leave you. an explosive killer. for doka time is running in a different way. his ‘mural‘ comes with a melancholic bassline and rhythmic drum work to bring this imaginery painting from the wall into notes. surreal but true techno. stefan rein is closing the release with a bang. the ‘amorphous material‘ will never get tired and brings with metallic snares, hats and rides a kick’in weapon which includes a synth pad that will give you a smile in every moment you hear it. a clear definition of techno and its madness.

the 4th release of on a mission records is a double pack with not less than 7 original tracks and 2 interludes from label bosses jef k and rhythm&soul. as original house music lovers, they are reaching the whole spectrum of their inspirations throughout the years and send it directly to the dancefloor. the lp was done between madrid and paris in the last monthes of 2015. jef k is one of paris old-school legendary dj and producer since 1992 and is also running the famous house label silver network. rhythm&soul is one of madrid s house music leaders and also runs the almighty deep house label slow town. house culture !
