luckyme are proud to present champagne sounds the first in a two part series introducing a distinct new talent, young brooklyn producer sam obey aka obey city

the duo of sam haar and zach steinman first came to prominence with a series of 12-inch singles for brooklyn electronic label rvng.

*foundation* is the new ep from especially good, the most exciting band from detroit in recent memory. the eight track ep showcases the trios dynamic energy of julio dominguezs vocals, joe flis synthesizers and drum programing and paul kirys bass - culminating in songs that are equally raw, brutal and honest. the sound of e.g. exists in a space of its own, but one can hear influences of throbbing gristle, factory records and detroit techno in the rhythms and sonic textures throughout *foundation*. recorded and mixed in detroit by sam consiglio and adam lee miller (of adult). released on est. 83 records

sam walton is a 22 year old producer from manchester who came to hyperdub after feeding them demo tracks, and started off in 2011 with the *walton ep*, the first of three eps for the label. since then he has honed and developed his music into *beyond*, finding a really fresh and subtle intersection between music that doesnt seem to naturally fit together, old eski grime, funky and detroit house and techno but with smudged edges and a colourful industrial sound palette that gives a real richness to his productions.

the third studio album by benga as double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold cover.

young echo is the bristol, uk based producer collective of amos childs (jabu, killing sound, zhou), cris ebdon (ishan sound, zhou), sebastian gainsborough (baba yaga, killing sound, rei, vessel, flexible ape, panther modern), sam kidel (el kid, killing sound), joseph mcgann (baba yaga, gorgon sound, kahn) and alex rendall (jabu, killing sound).

as apple pips continues to explore its opening mantra of echo, depth, swing and bass within the duplicitous realms of modern electronica, it welcomes to the fold two long-standing friends of the label and in turn sheds light on their own fresh avenues within house music. you might already know lrusse as id or behling, commonly found kicking up the dust alongside sam baobinga simpson in all manner of styles and tempos, while bleecker has an accomplished back-story in dubstep as wedge & through his own if symptoms persist imprint. in their new venture both producers fuse their dancefloor inclinations with more searching, experimental textures and tones, placing crafty sound design on a level pegging with the more immediate tropes of groove and presence.

brand new label from zoo look aka sam & alex with releases for labels like morris audio / join the dots / remote / more music / kolour ltd / tusk wax / sccucci manucci / tenth circle / defected and forthcoming releases for tsuba & dirt crew the boys thought it was high time to start their own baby, pdd are proud to welcome show & tell.

samuli kemppi may have begun in warm house climes as the duo sam & gigi, but he has since found his niche and fame sound tracking the deep and icy black recesses of space. 2009s komisch debut, deep space helsinki ep, birthed the galactic signature that would come to define his solo techno output for labels like prologue, mote-evolver and perc trax, meanwhile cementing his stylistic meanderings to a single, albeit flexible, narrative. parallax of one second ep is samuli kemppis third outing on m rec ltd, after the full cyclic model ep and remix inclusion on ben gibsons more than milk, and sees the fin plundering the astronomic theme once again with stellar sci-fi precision.

this is a heavyweight, double-gatefold version of the debut album from disclosure.

asc returns to samurai red seal in his first release for the label since 2012s out of sync & lost sync series. debuted on mary anne hobbs xfm show, polemic is yet another genre bending, tempo shuffle that brings a powerful acid line to the table. a favourite with the likes of dbridge, om unit, and sam kdc as well as label head presha, this is a tune that truly goes back to go forward. oracle slides back into a more traditional, but not any less unique asc groove, combining a heavy dubbed out bass line with other world ambience and percussive perfection. 909 rhythm track comes as a vinyl only exclusive, in the techno tradition it does what it name says it does, a dj tool for the adventurous maestro. limited blue coloured / white marbled 12 inch vinyl.

luuk graham, the hague native drops his second release with lowriders recordings. after his recent remixes, a beattape and some digi releases finally the ep is ready for the public ear. the sound has grown in depth and strength. inspired by uk bass and uk bass and dirty south hip hop scene, he fits in the hip trap/bass culture with his more uptempo tracks but as easily links to the more head-hop in the likes off shlohmo. his sound is very much 8bit - commodore infected blent of hip hop, skweee, bass and retro-futuristic-synth-science. filosofischestilte takes you into an unknown world shaped out of arpeggios, sparkling.

pumping prime time techno madness

laura jones vinyl sampler, ryan crosson remix

as an increasing number of the british producers turn to techno as a source of inspiration, the gritty sound of the uk underground is easily obscured by the polished veneer of continental 4/4 music.
having taken his time to emerge from the shadows, paleman has constructed a musical voice for himself which turns this conundrum on its head by reimagining the skeletal drums and gutteral growls of early dubstep and speed garage as a style of uk techno all of his own. for this youngster, berlin is more of a startpoint than a destination. at only 19, he joins the ever growing base of manchester-based techno producers as the first signing to fulcrum records, a new label started in south manchester by friends sam schorb (aka damu) and adam rogerson.
