der kanadier fred everything (20:20 vision, om records, bombay, lazy days) ist seit mitte der 90er jahre im house-geschäft eine ganz feste größe. das zürcher label drumpoet community schätzt sich nun ungemein glücklich, eine neue platte des in montreal lebenden produzenten veröffentlichen zu können. drei tracks, drei hits. eine traumquote!

kranky was a bit surprised earlier this year when jessica bailiff contacted us and asked if we wanted to preview her new album for possible release. we had no idea she had even been working on an album, let alone had completed one, and we were rewarded with a listen to her most compelling album to date.

it is a cold dark winter – snow is lying everywhere. simon12345 and the lazer twins are heading up north into a little wooden house in the northern parts of denmark. they will live there for the next weeks and build up a temporary studio in this secluded cottage. simon has got a handful of sketches with him. musical states of mind and conceptual games he developed over the last years. basically the idea is to develop something truly unique and powerful – although none of them knows how that will sound exactly or what will happen in particular during this time. it is not even clear who plays which instrument, who will do what…nothing is set. the only thing clear is that they have things to say, things that have been burning in them for so long now. tell me. how can (mostly) instrumental music suggest a way of life? how can you criticize without pointing at something particular? how can music transport you into place of quietness and self reflection?

the whole ep but more particularly the lead track pays homage to a certain venue in vienna called roxy which a good number of us in the liquid d&b heydays of the mid 2000s and onwards were privileged enough to play at. to say thanks for such great times zero t decided a dedication was in order and here we are!huge support so far from the likes of: friction (on bbc radio 1), ant tc1 (on bbc radio 1), dj hype (on kiss fm), dj die (on kiss fm), bailey (on bbc 1xtra), dj marky, lenzman (on ministry of sound radio), octane & dlr, survival, youngsta, rockwell, brian g, total science, von d, foreign concept, vicious circle, stray, craggz & pf, sunchase.

new slightly off season various artist release! the label say: >after last years summer special in the winter it looks like the calendar at wphs hq is up to par again! luckily so is the music, as this edition of the summer special series focuses on three tracks that were about to get lost in the ever-growing jungle of digital only releases. but like a true dr livingstone red d set out to find these babies a home on vinyl, so here we are!<

4 tracks, taken from the cd album! in >shortcake strategy<, fairytale-like melodies are backed with thought provoking harmonies that pave the way for an explicitly visual experience. we have been introduced to a new face of the berlin-based producer. shortcake is a simple recipe. it doesnt take a lot of planning or much thought or attention when preparing it, and in the end, it will be light, fluffy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying. falko might say the same about his approach to the creation of >shortcake strategy<, yet the end product sees his most dynamic and emotional productions to date, leaving us with the feeling that this comes from a strategy that requires far more thought, and is far more complicated than that of a sugary dessert.

fritz kalkbrenner hat mit >sick travellin< nicht nur das naechste kapitel seiner beeindruckenden karriere aufgeschlagen, sondern mit dem album nachdruecklich seine stellung als eine der wichtigsten deutschen stimmen an der schnittstelle zwischen club und pop untermauert.

nice price deal !!! borngräber & strüvers latest album represents a unique selection of chamber music compositions created in the period of 2000 through 2012. this denotes a new facet in the musical cosmos of the berliner duo, combining influences in the range of minimal music, classic and baroque, as well as the art of improvisation and pop culture. clouds can be considered as an album for fans of richard skelton, the caretaker and christian naujoks, but its distinctive work manages to reach a far wider audience. the album begins with the piece wellen (waves) for soprano and strings. the music is arranged and composed in a sort of wavy-shape, as the title suggests. it is a piece in the purest form of minimalism: without an end, without a beginning. the following track mobile pays homage to richard strauss don quixote, as musical parts and constantly changing atmospheres reconcile to create a sense of movement and mobility. last but not least, secret bells represents an instant composition as charles mingus would say, combining piano works and field recordings. clouds 1-3 were written for a virtual chamber orchestra and join together to give the album its leading name. these >clouds< differentiate themselves trough stylistic influences, ranging from classical to the latest in music.

rugged/troubles is a double a that lives up to its name in every way. if we wrote cliched press releases we would say the release >does what it says on the tin< but getdarker dont deal in hackneyed, meaningless sayings, we deal in undiluted, speaker-banging platters. and they dont bang much harder than this pair of purist party-starters. troubles follows. in more ways than one.

we keep the good-times rolling along on the kolour mothership with the debut ep of deep-disco don debonair. we have been taking notes on this guy since we heard his first tune and ever-since, he just seems to move from strength to strength with each tune that is released. needless to say, when the opportunity arose for us to debut his first full-on solo ep, it was the epitome of a no-brainer for us. debonair shows us all facets of his musical capability with a melting pot of music ranging from the traditional debonair deep-disco sound to slo-mo beat-down business, deep-fused funk, with a dash of beautiful baleric sprinkles for good measure.

whilst most of us would associate the productions of butch with his effortlessly flowing, melodic and uplifting style, perfect music for the summer floors and terraces.... of late, the turkish born producer has been channeling back into his tougher and dare we say it, more butch techno sounds. having bathed us in the gorgeous tones of previous hits such as >papillon< and >eyes wide open<, butchs latest work for quartz music sees him expanding further on his recent chemically inspired cecille release >lsd 25<, by serving up a large helping of acid on, >303<. sinister and deadly, the creeping corrosive cut is perfect soundtrack for those dark strobe lit moments. >soul leaves body< sees on the polar opposite side of our trip as the blissed out beats of the tabla and strains of the sitar sweep us away an ethereal bed of sound.

foreign sunrises are always inspiring an artist. festival gigs with amazing music and extraordinary people making you feel the real magic of electronic music. einmusik packed all those things and made a dreamy and mysterious ep called >damgala<. only two tracks coming up, but they are special and wistful - nothing more is left to say about the feelings of an artist traveling all over the world since months. >damgala< itself is a song with unsettling synths, an undulating baseline and rolling drums. the breaks are so strong and suprising and you will never forget this sensuous chorus. >st.anna< is the second number on the ep. it is made by mars leder and einmusik. they meet each other on several parties in berlin. mars, a young and talented dj also plays a lot of instruments and so they made a studio session with different sequences. the guitar is clear and melancholic, the synths are soft and the bass is catching you. close your eyes and feel the song without being prejudiced by some words.

manare treats his productions as any other stuff he is involved in, like the fresh prince of paris that he is. just one hearing of this new ep and you will understand what manare has to say: a lot! >quartz< is a deep technoid house groove full of rooted vibes, what some call organic sound, which will takes you on a journey to a future motherland. the flipside >down to dis< is a heavy bouncing 808 beat, lifted by colorful chords and that fat loaded bass so cherished by the clekclekboom fam. this 2 tracks number combines an impressive wide spectrum of club music… a head nod guaranty, any time any place, whatever mood you are in. limited edition heavyweight 180g 12 inch vinyl.

this release is total fire, it embodiies the feelings of the current dancefloor climate, and takes you back to the days of early house at the same time. deep hypnotic tones, musically & rhythmically. already a hit at inner rhythm. its an honour to release an isoul8 track, and especially one with such a powerfull meaning, its time for >change< - play it loud, say it proud!

the regenesis ep is the extraction of m.rahns current digital album >regenesis<. all sounding great deep and sometimes dark, based on detroit elements and enlarged chordpads. the stryx tracks are generally the most dubful tracks in here, perfectly placed for the peaktime afterhours.

rhythm music and dance is one of the only common pastimes of all humankind around the globe for all of time as we know it. it is one of the only common ceremonies to be used by all different beliefs and cultures. even now some of the most unaffected tribes in the most remote areas of the globe use rhythm and dance for recreation and for the most important ceremonies. one could even say music and rhythm is the key to reaching the subconsciousness. let i-land beats rhythm and music take you on a journey and remove all the barriers in your mind and bring peace and love to all of mankind and we can all dance together as one.

as ajello say:the idea for a cover version of n.o.i.a.s looking for love was born a couple of years ago - an idea of alessandro piatto, younger brother of davide piatto, original member of n.o.i.a. as soon as alessandro proposed it,we asked whether we could have the original tracks but, unfortunately,they have been lost over the years.immediately his brother davide brought together the original lineup of n.o.i.a.and locked them up in the studio to record the voice from scratch and some of the synth parts. our intervention was first on the drums, replacing the original for a more uptempo beat, and then the bassline, shaping it to a more modern sound. the vocals were treated with filters and echoes,and we also added some new guitar parts and synth lines. it was an honour to us, ajello, to bring to light an italo-disco classic that has really influenced us and we have put all our efforts to create a version that is timeless, as much as the original.

what a big remix package with interpretations from cascandy, mollono.bass, skeet and rene bourgeois... nothing more to say!

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.
