really, aardvarck should need little introduction. while some of the artists featured on voyage direct are just beginning their musical journeys, mike kivits has been at the forefront of the dutch scene since the tail end of the 1980s.

with his voyage direct label, tom trago has always championed dutch talent – djs and producers from the tightknit local scene whose music moves and inspires him in equal measure. he’s at it again on this 19th release, handing a debut 12inch to fastrising, amsterdambased dj/producer elias mazian. the 25 yearold is a muchloved figure on the amsterdam scene, and has gained a reputation as one of the citys true underground heroes. his dj sets are rooted in contemporary deep house and techno, but also take inspiration from 80s electro, stevie wonder, pfunk, disco, and the surging, snareheavy pulse of early chicago ghettohouse

3 weirdo ones on the cult of properness. propers cult, the label launched by amsterdam s san proper, present their second release, the debut of a jazz-fusion drummer who goes by the name of d., hailing from katwijk (nl). three deep and mesmerizing house workouts veering into techno territories, with an acid glitch to them. yes, they come with a lot of question marks and exclamation points

it is rare to hear a debut 12 inch single that really blows you away. that is hardly a controversial statement, in truth, most producers take time to find their feet, developing a distinct style over a period of years, rather than months. magnesii, then, is something special. currently based in amsterdam. the previously unheard of producer has delivered a stunning debut 12 inch for tom tragos voyage direct label. raw, fuzzy and in turns melancholic, spellbinding and intense, its three tracks bubble and hiss to the distinct sound of vintage analogue hardware.

word to the weirdos. morgan buckleys vinyl debut with so many ideas and so much energy its almost hard to take it all on board in one listen. the sound of a man soaking it up and pouring it out. 12inch comes with insert and a touch of magic. tip! ill order it ! has some sort of a special sound to me. gesloten cirkel

willie burns, secret circuit and suzanne kraft are the odd numbers… setting sail with an ep of blue-eyed house. recommended for chilling in higher temperatures.

fresh from impressing with the pulsating techno of boris werner and the fuzzy live house jams of san proper, tom tragos voyage direct label turns to a man who needs little introduction: dutch legend and man of many pseudonyms danny wolfers.
best known under his legowelt alias, wolfers has spent the last two decades flitting between strobe light acid house, 808 electro, fluorescent techno and shimmering space disco. throughout, he has kept his productions pleasingly analogue-heavy, making great use of classic drum machines and vintage synthesizers. while his music may be steeped in the past, wolfers productions always sound like the future.

weve complied two blackman and maurice joshua productions for the fourth house of trax 12inch. its a bit of a dirty one... to say the least. althought more polictically incorrect then a dutch politician, these humourous trax will set fire to the speakers for the right reasons too. the little known blackman had a 1993 release with >beat that bitch with a bat<, a song which later got popularized by johnny dangerous. the original 12inch got pressed up in small quantities and is available for the first time in 17 years. on the flip theres both the vocal and instrumental version of maurice joshuas (with hot hula hands) >i got a big dick<, which originally came out in 1988, as the a-side of his more known >this is acid<. both tracks are pretty rare these days and will still go down a storm on the dancefloor.
