after his 12 inch debut on tjumy last year we welcome roman on philpot with this remix package including erdbeerschnitzel and soulphiction remixes. both do a brilliant job twisting the originals with their trademark mixes and roman also contributed a new track in the same vein as his predecessors … deep shits!

when we heard pompeya for the first time and were told they were from moscow, we were like: - what!? are you kidding? this is probably the first russian band singing in english with such a classy brit touch and male vocal being very strong and sophisticated at the same time. they jestingly describe their style as >melodramatic popular song< and >cheenese< is indeed a very dramatic piece with simple yet powerful composition and lyrics that really make big sense. the original is very well supported by a bunch of remixes each of which is unique on its own. an-2 & samos come with a warm, relaxed and funky instrumental version which is followed by a blockbuster mix from moscow disquo maestro leonid lipelis (an entirely perfect dance version of the original that could ever exist) and finally, for those few sirs and mesdames who are not yet aesthetically satisfied and who still find themselves seated while others jump and shout, here come d-pulse with their paranoid mix that gathers the thunderclouds to the full darkness and - at the end - lets the revival sunbeams break through.

grime has been clawing its way back to the centre of underground uk music in a big way recently, riding a new wave of credibility in futurist iterations from terror danjah, hyperdub, and butterz. but with the rising profile of figures like slackk and the eski-aping sound of becoming real and sometimes jam city, theres been a pseudo-lionization and a growing mythology surrounding classic grime. honestly, its been a long time coming, the music is legendary for a reason. terror danjahs new(ish) hardrive label takes a bold step in 2011 with a sharp look back-ward, and in typically cyclical fashion it feels perfectly now. dating all the way back to 2004, p jams >anger management< is a minimal monster of a tune, slamming with the same slurred and blurred percussive elements of wileys essential >ice rink<.

an elegant jazz and some charming turns of battery inspire kigo singing his thoughts during an afternoon in milan after a saturday night. elegant tone and bass blend completely with the typical hi-hat groove and jazzy housy old school. the original version will give an idea of how beautiful mixing deep house and jazzy grooves is… to create an elegant atmosphere suitable for underground dancefloor (chic and stylish at the same time).

walter merlin jones is a perfectionist. a presence in the house scene since the late 80s, the dj and producer has, over the years, created thousands of undoubtedly wonderful, but unfinished, songs – a staggering collection of musical bits that have fallen victim to his tendency to be his own worst critic. yet, that same perfectionism has yielded some of the most engaging dance music of the last decade, however scant – songs that are aural proof of his preference for quality over quantity. joness first dfa release, 2009s >ill keep on loving you/living without your love<, confirmed his commitment to this idea with subtle grace and slow, seductive rhythms. now, with graceful exit – which pairs joness talents with singer ellipsis, boston producer chas bronz and saxophonist jesse allen — the new orleans-raised artist continues to showcase his discerning ear, proffering music with a modern, evolved take on discos very best virtues.

danish duo laid back made a most surprising comeback to the clubs in 2010 with >cocaine cool<. not that they had ever been really forgotten: their electro pop classic >white horse< remained a sure shot in clubs for the thirty years after its release 30 years back and a constant inspiration to boatload of diverse artists from techno to hip-hop. >cocaine cool< was recorded at the same session but the ironic vocals ridiculing label executives blowing up their frail ego with the chemical substance were deemed to risquee at that time, so the recording collected dust in some box until last year. bostons >soul clap< another duo hailed as one of the hotest things in clubland known for their eclectic funk-rooted taste. they opt for a cool sparser arrangement leaving out the “white horse -like chords. a loose, dry electro funk beat, hpynotic one-note synth, few dub effects and additional vocoder vocals do the trick bravorously. besides an instrumental version theres also a harder jacking dub take sounding like early chicago house edits. and while the boys are add it they also re-edited another huge one from laid back: >baker man< that managed the unlikely balancing act of not only hitting it bigtime in the charts but also in the emerging balearic scene. this 12 inch is cool in every which way!

the first immerse release of 2011 sees the label taking on a fresh approach while retaining the same atmospherics that have made it an essential fixture in the bristol music canon. outboxx are made up of jacob martin and matt lambert, and their sound is rooted in groovy, analogue house music. with an emphasis on jamming, theres a loose, live feel to these tracks that has an instant appeal but drags you deeper with each listen. >kate libby< kicks off on a swung beat and warm pads, before dropping down to p-funk bass and sparse synth flourishes. >berties groove< places jazzy rhodes playing at the front of the mix with a classic drum machine workout ticking away in the background. this is soulful, authentic house music with not a clinical midi pattern in earshot. despite coming from a different angle, the outboxx tracks slip neatly into the immerse legacy thus far, pointing the way for a year filled with more of the spacious, haunting club music the label has become renowned for.

i just woke and its pretty cold outside. i havent opened the window yet, but i somehow know it and im listening to these six tracks again and try to make an approximation of why and how i have done this ep. they are pretty different from each other but tell the same story or at least are part of the same one as a matter of fact. maybe they were done as an excuse for my overdue album which is scheduled again for this year or maybe just because i was going through some odd times and needed to immerse myself in doing something. in this case music. more the latter i guess. ok so, the opening track is in a way the end of an era and the last one the opening of a fresher one. and the rest fills in the gaps in between those two moments i guess. i hate conceptual things anyways. i never know or want to know why i do certain things. concepts define something before it already begins its existence and trying to explain why is pretty useless. so here it is. the recording of a certain period of time in my tiny existence. with collaborations with jaw (dop), my brother atilla, who is also responsible for the artwork, and jonny cruz. by the time its out itll be a distant memory for me but hope it lasts a bit longer for anyone that listens to it

this is the 4th and final release from our shake shakir re-issue series. three total corkers from the don!!! features an exclusive track, the other one.... tip! >the floor filler< is exactly as the title says. this disco frenzied track was originally released in 1997 as part of club scam ii. the track is still a valid club tool and will fill a floor for sure! >plugged in< is also taken from the same ep and reminds of carl craigs paperclip people tracks of that era. disco meets techno! on the flip we find >the other one< which is a track from the vault and has never before been released. detroit house doesnt come any better than this...

maetriks cocoon debut >snorkel< on the 7th edition of the 10 inch series belongs without doubt to the most successful tracks of the past year and is an essential track in the clubs since then, thanks to its matchless mixture of powerful deep house and noise. eric estornel aka maetrik is, however, definitely not a newcomer. with a large number of releases on such prestigious labels from the likes of treibstoff from cologne, dumb unit and steve bugs audiomatique platform, the texan-born and now resident of valencia has proven to be one of the most reliable protagonists at the interface between straight dark house, dub and funky techno. estornels aim was to stick to this recipe when he made his his first cocoon solo maxi: >crush on me< and >push< are two absolute masterpieces and are representative for estornels unique style, using hallucinogenic vocals, hypnotic beats and a power that is deep and latently noisy at the same time to put the dancefloor over the edge of insanity. with his third album >life index<, released on the london-based label crosstown rebels, and with other releases on guy gerbers supplement facts platform and on get physical, this spring seems to be totally under estornels sign

cadenzas latest offering comes from swiss german duo laurent bovey & gregory poncet, more commonly known as digitaline. firm family within cadenzas realm of artists, digitalines latest >up and down my spine< ep is their fourth contribution to the increasingly impressive cadenza catalogue of experimental and meticulously produced electronic soundscapes. deep and chugging grooves, atmospheric spheres and industrial synth patterns are digitalines forté. up and down my spine is no exception to their uncompromising rule. a-side africa makes its grand entrance with a deliriously deep bass line belting from underneath its hazy atmosphere and pouncing crisply into cutting hi-hats and sweeping snares. the jerky rhythmic groove is determined from its first steps and contrasts impeccably with the sensual and stripped down vocal from diaraby nene by oumou sangaré. trickling over the top of a fierce and bouncing violin melody, the listener is catapulted into a woven cultural journey. africa is an encapsulating house track thats plethora of influences and appeal span worldwide. on the flip, the duos >shivers< is percussive and a clear companion for its counterpart, >africa<. made to sit effortlessly together, the same potion of heavy kicks, tribal essences and impeccable arrangement follow from one side to the other, coaxing our minds and bodies into digitalines intricate musical world

humandrone from japan featured on this lemon yellow release from we play house.
marked firmly on our soundcloud page and in various publications: wph does not accept nor listen to demos. a way of working that was shattered when one day red d found a real physical demo in his postbox. from a galaxy far far away called japan came humandrone a.k.a. takaaki shibuya, with his twist on jackin chicago rhythms. a twist deeply melancholic, almost detroit like, showing us that chicago music can be both jackin’ and musical at the same time.

tiago is one of those guys who are able to make a summer, a festival or a trip really special. he is doing the right thing at the right time and is always prepared. in his company every single minute turns into a remarkable happening and once you are back home you keep asking yourself why he cant be with me all the time. that s reason enough to dedicate him a special tune. the same lovely thought had solomun and emerson todd and deliver a dreamy and a groovy version of tiagos destiny. after last summers smash hit manaus madness gunnar stiller hits the jackpot again.

geno records first release comes to you from belgium based dan d. dan comes from a traditional of both classical and jazz traditions. dan also developed a love of latin dance in his youth. once moving to berlin in 2001, dan was further influenced by the house sounds of the original panorama bar. dan himself has continued on to dj some of berlins best parties/venues including beatstreet, watergate, arena, maria, and the new panorama bar. club der visionäre has also been very important to dans musical growth. dan has had the opportunity to cut his teeth playing 10 hour marathon sets during his regular appearances since 2004. furthermore, he appeared in clubs like rote sonne (munich) and decadance (gent, belgium). friends like tobi neumann and dinky got him into production in 2003. dans first vinyl release on district of corruption lead to praise from some of the best djs in the business. the african market is quite an evolved sophomoric release for dan. the title track, african market, is a pulsating but stripped down organic percussive journey. afro-cuban rhythms lovingly exchange energy with warm analog synths and crisp techno electronic beats. the flip side, el baile, is a slow burning house jam. el baile features eerily reverberated studio recorded vuvuzela, crisply saturated jazz keys, and the same pumping afro-cuban rhythms that sets dans sound apart from others.

here at bearfunk hq we firmly believe in perseverance. we keep asking questions until we get the right answer and with 6ft bear by our side the answer is usually yes. we kept asking ilija rudman to get in the studio and write us a killer lp but being the busy bee that he is it was hard for him to take the time out. we kept asking until he eventually caved in and went underground to record his first lp, >the reveal<. ilija is a devoted and passionate man when it comes to music. one of his prerequisites for recording an lp was that the recordings had to be made with the same techniques and equipment that inspired him to make music in the first place. so ilija hooked up with one of his studio mentors and got his dream line-up of synthesizers, roland jupiter 4 & 8, minimoog, roland sh2, juno 60 and his dream drum machines linn and oberheim dmx. these analogue machines fire up to create a warm and authentic vibe across the whole lp. we are reminded here that machines do have soul if used properly. we start proceedings with the wigged out boogie of >inspectors drive< which might be a little nod in the direction of wally badarous classic chief in< have all the ingredients of dj friendly hits. the lp reveals all the influences that ilija has experienced and it shows the talent that runs inside him as he is able to make such an amazingly retro lp sound like something from the future. we are sure in years to come this lp could become as important as the influences that inspired mr. rudman to make it.

adam shelton & subb-an have single handedly made birmingham cool over the last few years with their infamous below gigs at the rainbow. >feel so real< reflects the duos work at its height. it is a classic sounding house record with familiar vocal hooks, warm chords and throbbing drums. it stands out from the crowd in much the same way fcls >lets go< did last year. is it old or is it new? old school sensibilities brought right up to date with cutting edge production skills. so it was with this thought in mind that we approached new 2020 signings fcl to remix. they have added their own vocals and developed the hook into a synth heavy workout. the pack comes complete with another track >inside my head< which features a line many will remember from nights spent at warehouse raves, one for the spotters.

gobble gobble is a majestic and pulsating force drawing as much from the visceral and poetic indie rock of pixies as the electronic production of dan deacon or crystal castles, while remaining entirely unclassifiable. these canadians have created a grass-roots movement with their mobile rave infinitour 2010 which lasted from june to november and saw them playing suburban gardens, private homes, small indie venues, as well as pop montreal and cmj. hundreds of blog posts by the likes of stereogum and nme, a series of amazing singles, an appearance on debontons 2nd compilation, and a nomination by pitchfork as best new hope of 2011 have secured their position as poster children for the brave new pop scene. with boring horror they give their listeners not just the single by the same name, but also a b-side (eat sun, son) and two other original bonus tracks (seizure to the metronome, as well as two remixes commissioned by debonton to spice up the package. generous, emotional, exciting, and completely avant-garde, gobble gobble is a hurricane of freshness for the audience and the listener. limited edition of 500 units worldwide.

esa & mervin granger returns jan 2011 with the second installment of his rememory music label project. >luxarama< is a stunning two track ep featuring an original track of the same name by esa & mervin granger, along with an edit by ali ooft and subcultures ross telford on the flipside as the midnight marauders.
esas rememory music project began earlier this year as the south african ex-pats main creative output, dedicated to his late father. the critically acclaimed debut vinyl >i stole some thunder< sold out quickly, making >luxarama< an eagerly anticipated release.

after the brilliant album >until then goodbye<, lawrence is back on mule electronic! four brand new songs on this new single, >teenage barb< on a-1 is a hypnotic deep house tune with melancholic piano chords, monotone synth sounds. >organ track< on a-2 is a percussive deep house tune with a modern approach, its for all deep house lovers. >above the sky< is a dance version of the same song which is included to the new edition of mules ambient compilation >enjoy the silence< very nice ambient house sound with illusory melody like steve reich. ambient version of above the sky is taken from upcoming >enjoy the silence vol.2< which will be released on 23 may. great artists from terre thaemlitz, koss, nsi.,donato dozzy, seltene erden (new project by kassem mosse) and more are joined.

m=minmal continues the collaboration with electronic music legend conrad schnitzler. we are happy, after 30 years, to re-release one of the key works from conrads large adventurous backcatalog. >ballet statique< is not only a musical milestone but also a highlight of music production. it was recorded in 1978 at the legendary paragon studio / berlin by peter baumann - tangerine dream in the same period when other masterworks like cluster - >großes wasser< and solo recordings of roedelius and asmus tietchens were recorded. >ballet statique< was first released on the legendary french label egg. this albums is a must have not only for fans of the emeralds and oneohtrix point never.

augmented third. our third ep introduces the ordinary subject - title of the latest project of alexander siegel and christian scheel. infected by creating sound - generated sensory input – they are both enthused by the same. following this idea, the ordinary is certainly not able to enhance a current perception of reality, but the augmented, however, can. the ordinary subject truly live music in an irrational way and aren t it different views that can complete a perception? to get an impression of what we try to say, tune your ears and listen.

great circles, the label run by the same people who host the inciting parties in philadelphia let loose their second 12 inch release. this one features tony g whose tous la part le même sort lures the listener in with a deceptive sleight of hand before locking in to a spacious groove. all jacking bass and dusted chord progressions, this is the sort of luxuriant burner perfectly primed for after hours dance floors. three diverse remixes from jason carr, andrew joseph and hero/victim demonstrate the vast talent thats been rocking philly warehouses and lofts for the past few years. limited to 250 copies for the world.

after almost a year of only dancfloor related releases dial is back with an outstandingly special record: dirk von lowtzow presents his guitar solo work >tod in theben<. dirk von lowtzow, also known as a member of phantom ghost and tocotronic, creates a slowmotion drone-a-like folk meditation. the result is a breathtaking piece of deepest devotion, an incredible sound and room composition. at last years salzburger festspiele von lowtzow performed >tod in theben< in jan fosses same named theatre piece directed by angela richter.

we are sure max cooper does not refer here to one of traum boss triple rs favourite writer thomas pynchon but rather connects here to the technical terminus of the parabolic trajectory often mentioned as rainbow-shaped. nevertheless we wish to express that the transgressive quality of max music, does it question or break down the boundaries and categories of western culture and reason, is a challenge we have at traum always aimed at, with tracks that were very far away from the norm in the same way as maxs tracks are.

its now more than 20 years that arnaud le texier started his dj career in the west of france and in the paris club scene. since he moved to london five years ago, le texier has been able to put his stamp on the european techno scene, being label head of safari electronique and regular dj at fabric. his debut ep for cocoon recordings is borne by le texiers deep understanding of melancholy melodies, especially >elusanes< with its piano keystrokes coming directly from the basement and the ample detroit strings proves with hymn-like intensity that deep sensuality and unquestioning dancefloor ecstasy can be two sides of the same medal. besides a beat-less version of >elusanes<, the hypnotic >nightleads< with its bass guitar theme does already whet your appetite for the next sunrise in the balearic dunes

the next release on claap is a joint venture between two label favourites. on side a, nikola galas >oasy< and >paradise (tool)< are two very tightly structured affairs! perfectly produced and oh so functional, they are another strong proof of the reasons for which nikola has been making waves in the scene for more than a decade. the overall feel in both tracks follows the same path along nikolas previous work on rekids and ibadan records, amongst others, along with releases on his own label escada music. we are also very glad to welcome a long time favourite john dimas. hailing from the beautiful city of thessaloniki in greece, john is a young and aspiring dj and producer who has been working with labels such as d julzs exciting bass culture. john has been steadily making a strong impression with his colourful, solid and passionate dj performances! >get it< is a very groovy, playful and smart track. reminiscent of older chicago house with a fresh touch. to round up the package, label head gummihz offers a disco orientated >get down mix...

after several releases on labels like bar25, microtonal, dantze and etuirecords end of tape finally hit the box with their tape jam ep.these guys don t talk with each other – they just do music and thats the best. the result of this gone wrong musician friendship (but tight producer team at the same time) you can celebrate with this ep. this is no snow from yesterday – it s the musical climatic change of tomorrow – without any opportunity.

double 12 inch with bass-filled tonic for mind and body straight from the med school.

polskis and boston tea parties are never usually mentioned in the same sentence, this particular tea party took place in berlin in the summer of 2009, and instead of the traditional tea party antics, it involved devouring traditional polish pies and vodka. this became the recipe for an unprecedented collaboration. throw in a seth troxler inspired sample and that recipe becomes michelin starred! vodka sinkers catz & dogz get groovy with dope time travellers soul clap in a pairing which makes you think you dropped a tab, polished off a bottle and smashed the back out of some kosher delights.
*limited to 500 copies*. miss it and miss out.

syndrome picks up the pace again with another fat slab of rolling tech business. krone is the one taking the stand and starts off with a steamrolling roller made together with >malsum< we are not alone is one to keep your eyes on. like ghost train you can hear it coming in from miles away rattling along the tracks with the cries of all its zombie passengers inside.dont let this one get you as youll lose your brain.for babylon 21 krone trucks along solo style.. things turn a bit lighter but are all about the groove. like back in the old days before all the sounds got processed to death.. this one keeps it subtle groovy and funky all at the same time!

heavy duty remix ep (accompanying the first sic! release on meakusma) features reworks by errorsmith, lowlow and quarion. errorsmith remodels orange sky, in his inimitable style, into a bouncing bomb, solely focused on making the dancefloor explode in delirious delight. lowlows version explores the darker side of the track, conjuring up a syncopated nu disco rhythm that sounds claustrophobic and ecstatic at the same time. quarion takes orange sky to the beach and gives it a balearic house feel.

maximum remix and mashup-action with cee lo greens hit >fuck you<. uh-hu-huuuuuuuuuuu!

after ellen alliens album >dust< kicked up a lot of the same in 2010, it was only a matter of time until the right remixers for the album were found. no less than the creme de la creme of today s house scene was allowed to have their way with these tracks. and the results are more than fitting. although we have already burned a full-length cd containing all of the remixes they created, we are not planning on leaving the vinyl-loving faction (or whats left of them) out in the cold either. this 12 inch features three powerful club tracks from three outstanding remixers. each unrivalled in their own space.

summer has come early. the fog is literally lifting and willing the summer to come early with this excellent ep for metroline. lead track diggler’s job is a breezy house number with pimping keys and a beautiful bass bounce. there’s plenty of movement in the percussion and a light touch that just begs for summer to come. shout romance is a shade tougher with its up-front kicks and acid-tinged bassline. it has slow burn intensity that is nicely counterbalanced by smooth reverb-soaked vintage synths.the jackspot remix of shout romance really brings out the funk in those synths, underpinning that with down-the line percussion and skittering hats that give the track a real drive. rounding things up nicely is in the right mood. the track’s bassline is sticky, sweet treacle over which congas and vocal cuts are expertly sprinkled to create a tasty treat. it never gets sickly though… horns are deployed sparingly, and the track has the same cool as a cucumber minimalism that makes this ep pure pleasure on the eardrums

a long overdue rude 66 retrospective, that compiles acid, techno, idm and ambient tracks from his legendary acidplanet and djax days, with several unreleased gems from the same period. this release reveals the missing link between rudes iconic early acid sewer sound and the evil dragster electro-trance he has become known for in recent years. all tracks have been remastered and re-edited to appear now as youve never heard them before! no more eastern european carboard pressings, but spacious and thrilling sounds that finally really you immerse in the death race! very limited edtion on clear vinyl double album with free download and postersleeve.

marco zenker, the wonderboy from munich is up and looking for freedom again with his second record on ilian tape. invisible shadows was discovered by ourselves on the last ilian tape warehouse party back last year. when we heard it the first time on a big system - even marco himself - we were pretty surprised. its building up slowly and leads into a very open space - the perfect track to give the night another direction. remain silent after you heard that side and open your ears for the b side that sends us into a different sphere. here we go down. you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne - it has the same vibe as osho ashram s back then hosted by f. fuhlert. finally we have a tripping remix from one of the hottest dutch guys at the moment - conforce. known for his releases on meanwhile, delsin or rush hour he shows once again why holland is thechicago of europe. its just free spirited, soulful and openminded. qualities we are missing here more or less in bavaria. so we are trying to open up and change things. the time will come. kiss

>bite sized beats vol. 3< celebrates the return of the flapjack master chef and spatula maker, frankie j. sometimes it feels good to crawl out from behind the curtain, fart, do a lap around the room giving it a good crop dusting, and then blame it on poor ventilation. so that just about sums up this fabulous new single from frankie j. >gonna give it to ya< will definitely clear a room and move them straight to the dance floor with its awesomely odoriferous bass line and tantalizing vocal workout. this is one for both cheeks and makes for all the right vibrations.

some time last year we had this unknown techno record from these chaps and it sold out within a matter of hours. now we have a new one sounding something like a collaboration between burial and deepchord! same deal as before, strictly limited and only 200 copies.

4 tracks taken from the album of the same name, remixed by floppy don / samuel l session / alan ho & jay shepheard. pressed on clear red vinyl.
