hopeworks opened just under two years ago, in the heart of sheffields former industrial centre. this empty warehouse has since become the hedonistic epicentre of the citys vibrant all night clubbing scene as chief resident and director of hopeworks, lo shea has built the ethos of the space from the ground up. having hosted an enviable list of international guest artists as well as showcasing the best of tomorrows talent, hopeworks has become an essential melting pot for the cultural and musical future of a city whose electronic heritage has surpassed its industrial one. a platform to release the music inspired by the space and its loyal crowd, not to mention the artists who have contributed to its success, makes perfect sense. who better to take the helm of this debut voyage than lo shea himself… following his successful seaghdha series, liam continues to flesh out a distinctive sound that doesnt easily fit into genre divides, but which is informed and inspired by all those late nights. often functional, always perfectly weighted - his productions have - given the diverse & astonishing energy of the space that feeds them - gained support from djs and dancers the world over… this is 100% mixed in sheffield & believe us, hope, works.

first release on sun cat recordings / ancient sound from outer space is by italian obscure electronic producer named healing force project, that means freedom of the soul. inspired by space jazz and experimental techno, antonio marini reconnects distant horizons until the sky falls away, sonorizing the last ancient astronaut landing on earth in five hypnotic tracks. mastered by andrea merlini and illustrated by fernanda veron, *last journey to heliopolis ep* pictures early dawns and aching nights, combining different analog and digital elements. a cosmic trip without return only makes sense if has no stops or boundaries.

unified by dubs loose sense of space and deep sub-frequencies, chllngrs unique amalgam of soul, pop, stripped-down beats, and decaying atmospheres has earned the copenhagen-based artist, steven jess borth ii, adulation from press and peers alike.

u is a producer and dj currently living in london. previous records for man make music have proven suitable for the club as well as home listening, while a collaboration with babe, terror as btu for erol alkans phantasy label was varyingly described as “pleasure with a sense of dread” (the line of best fit) and “akin to having five songs playing simultaneously on your computer” (the guardian) now phantasy present ‘haven in a heartfelt world’, a new 4 track ep from u, defined in an early review by mixmag as “mind-bendingly warped and beautifully distorted…9/10“.

running backs 50th anniversary comes courtesy of redshape. after his utilitarian bonuz beatz effort earlier this year, the masked man is back on the monolithic techno tip. graced with a sense of tradition and a modern stlye of execution, leaves is the sort of warehouse rave signal that exceeds the sole purpose of a tool. speaking of which, it comes in two different mixes to choose from accompanied by two unclothed versions for the creative dj mind.

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.

the latest sound transmission from stephan laubner under his stl project alias comes in shape of a 12 inch vinyl for likeminded people who are interested in the d-i-y sound research of the something records audio sense facility.

it s only so long before liam geddes becomes a name you ll start hearing on the worldwide underground stage. having already churned out a number of uncompromisingly deep house tracks over the past couple of years, he comes armed with another exceptional ep on mil - the third release on the new music is love sister label - that further demonstrates his genuine dynamism as a producer. the with closed eyes ep should win this very talented producer the recognition his fresh beat work deserves into the wild gets proceedings underway, a ripping bassline paves out over rattling percussion shakes while oscillating dream like jingles play out during the course of the track. chopped vocal samples are introduced and tease against the shuffling drums which elevates the track with real drive and groove. close ya eyes for the journey packs the same layer of heat with its similarly groove-heavy bassline - a staple of geddes well-crafted sound. firmly footed, intermittent chimes seep into the track and are complemented by siren-like chords which grow truer in presence, until a hypnotic vocal snippet fulfils the deep terrains of the track. a saint is a tumultuous techno-fused roller with it s rip-roaring bassline and percussive loops which rhythmically swing out over shuddering pads, sustained chords and a cut up female vocal, brining a twist of colour to the arrangements of the track. there s a keen sense of tension and release, elevating this above your average and confirms geddes does depth and darkness with real conviction. broke will surely prove a high point for any decent dj set, and sounds like a cut you d expect from someone like delano smith. strings faintly play out over looped key chimes and a funk-like riff, while ticking hi-hats and a careful use of vocal sample gives the track extra heat, each element powered by the rumbling bassline.

listen to this if you like max graef, boo williams or anything on chiwax, atjazz, dam swindle or fantastic man. were really happy to get andy on heist after his successful collab with his buddy max graef on the jungle ep back in 2013. he delivers a great 4-track ep that ranges from the synth-arp love affair of ‘the same for me, to the heavily sampled disco jam ‘epsilon girls. check out ‘hermano and ‘merkin for a dreamy old school chicago vibe, both done with a great sense of history and an added touch andys modern production and sampling skills. sincerely yours, lars & maarten

a different jimi is a project of the guy who is well known as egoexpress. this new project is a blend of classic beats house,disco in the sense of hamilton bohannon and the unmistakable passion for the jazz sound of the hard bop era that resonates in the depth of the production. title track on a side is melancholic jazzy house and b side is more barealic mood. enjoy!

5 beat tracks & 1 deep house tune that are classic in the sense that beat tracks have formed the glue between styles in many djs bags. the arrangements & familiar drum kits will sure to bring the nostalgia back to many.

200 copies only! this mood swing track by robots need oil proved one of the best selling ever on the artreform and recently got signed to the defected ith mix by nic fanciulli. as such it makes sense to get the track remixed and this time it is joss and trav & volta.

demarzos sound is a meticulously crafted one. his toxic perfectionism and shrewd sense of rhythm lead him naturally to where he is today. his well-revised sets include anything from underground deep house to main room deep tech. after releases on hot creations, noir, glasgow underground or loulou records to name a few, arrives to sincopat with two secret weapons. holster is a cheeky but solid track which brings together groove and melody. analogue synths being added, it also presents changing voices all the way. for the remix, walker & royce take the deep way with a dry kick and sinister notes. pay attention to the astonishing breakdown. trigger is the second original track, in the same language than holster, and using some classic groovebox bullets. ramiro lopez, one of the sincopats golden boys, after his bedrock release, offers two fresh versions with different treatments.

a diverse and damaging three track ep from bone, exploring and exhibiting detroit techno musically, figuratively and spiritually. a1. here to stay (won t fade away) a nod to detroit as an ever-present - a marker by which others are measured, bone s first track on the detroit ep, here to stay (won t fade away) makes a statement above and beyond just being a fine example the music it refers to. the sumptuous melody that opens the track is accompanied by a substantial yet soft, almost warm, kick, a combination that somehow provides an atmosphere and depth way beyond merely the of the sum of its parts. more rolling percussion and drums are crisply ushered in before the here to stay (won t fade away) vocal begins looping over the composition. linear, straight up loops, grooves and rhythm give a consistent sense of railroad-esque motion atop of an ever-present vein of lush synth and melody. a track that is certainly here to stay. a2. detroit is ... soul with more of an emotional focus than symbolic this time, it s clear this one is from bone s heart. detroit is ... soul, ducks and weaves in the grey area between house and techno, the initial percussion that is brushed over the kick giving more of a house swing than a techno groove. the on/off, cut-and-dry synth chords contrast with the looser fluidity in here to stay (won t fade away), and gives a real sense of intent and desire. the real focal point however is the profound vocal that comes swirling over the top, -detroit is what i love, detroit is what i need, detroit is where i m from, detroit s the air i breathe?- no explanation necessary. b. detroit is ... hard bone rounds off part 1 of his detroit ep with aplomb. where the previous two tracks have drawn on the emotional and symbolic significance of detroit as a place and as an ideal, detroit is ... hard, cuts straight to the chase. utilizing the same vocal sample as detroit is ... soul, bone feeds things through the grinder and comes out with a late night dancefloor destroyer that blends millsian fury and red planet mystique with the archetypal subject detroit aesthetic. chaotic arpeggiated melody, indignant claps and breakneck drums and percussion are the chosen company for bone s words on this flipside to detroit is ... soul. detroit is ... hard, undoubtedly to become a mainstay for sweaty after-hours affairs the world over

jammhot are a leeds and london-based production and dj partnership consisting of matt mason, jamie adams and akara etteh. having each separately pursued their own musical ventures, the three friends decided to draw on their differing backgrounds and influences to create their own heady blend of house that is rich in musicality and sense of adventure, yet aimed squarely towards the dancefloor.

heavy deep disco invasion! black pearl record s mudegg (roskow kretschmann & tom sky) deliver insight into their knowledge about and passion for disco-music. one complex and well arranged song full of musicality and a keen sense of groove make „at light“ a bomb. sello s raw and straight rework and siggatunez rolling slo mo joint improve the fourth tieffrequent-release to a very diversified dance floor-filler and a very special piece of music..

san fran synth sensei ben winans aka roche ventures further into his arcane hardware labyrinths on stillhope, his second slab of mind-wired pacific house for 100% silk. as always with his work there is a great sense of spaciousness and flow, coastal fog billowing around alcatraz and over lands end, invisible currents taking control.

in times where a rave feels pretty much like a funfair, the chairoplane is still the nicest ride. thinking of kettenkarussell some might remember one of those gathered moments in a low summer night under the clear sky when things made sense for a while. but those memories fade away quite fast or seem really strange a few years later on youtube. so what is it that is left behind? after 10 years of collaboration the couple decided to do an album that might challenge the comfort zone of those who try to keep up that easy living. its a record full of holes. and still this is what keeps them together. in pain we trust... and yes i believe you and me will make love forever...

nice price deal !!! man invented the machine and from its circuits music with soul was created. > soul machine< is about rediscovering the creative ritual between man and its machines. the man is helder russo and he will drive you through a futuristic motor city soundtrack with an atlantic feeling. > soul machine< is a kind of techno rebel record, in a sense that its not a product of the industry. its rather the soundtrack for an imaginary society, with soul as the unifying element between men and technology. the type of record that mojo could play in his fabled radio show and make people connect through music. in fact this is very much about connecting. with the machines, with sounds and with each other. its about the endless ritual of creation and the challenge to transcend time and leave an inspirational mark. helder russo did his job, now make sure you appreciate the many hidden layers of this special record.

drawing from an acute sense of what could perhaps be described as deep minimalism-turned-into-a-quasi-equatorial-feast, full of holes gradually unfolds and weaves its fabrics in ways that are evocative of the disparate sensations and heady feelings one might run into in a proto-ritualistic setting, whilst xdbs recontextualisation routes a more linear but no less absorbing excursion.

limited 2014 repress
next up on sudden drop we have dutch native and member of eshu (along with ivano tetelepta) roger gerressen supplying the luscious beats. >faithful< is a spritely groove with elements of dub techno and tech-house with its lush chords and forward leaning percussion really giving the track a sense of pace. flip-sides >put that record on< delves deeper with a headier combination of deep bass and spoken >put that record..< refrain.

the us producer recently joined the ranks of talent residing in berlin and its evident the european techno capital is having a subtle sway on his sound on the basis of this apotheke ep, most notably the title track. theres a sense of driving momentum wedged deep in the sonic dna of this track, complemented well by a low slung bassline and airy synth melodies. elsewhere huertas sometime studio sparring partner urulu adds some percussive flex to the pulsating swing set, whilst kingsleys groove swerves the sound back towards deeper house and is apparently named in honour of a friends cat. glenn astro of the tartelet crew ends the release with a wonderfully bumping take on the track.

dmom welcomes french talent flex for his debut with a massive big-room-track. the knocking kick introduces some fine tuned and arranged techno in a really classic sense and has the ability to become one of those secret weapons everybodys talking about when hearing it on some set. on top of this kyle geiger delivered a remix showing the technotic side of his soul after his recent more melodic appearance on cocoon s recent compialtion, as used to from him with a superb sounddesign and kind of remdinding on his previous works some time ago on drumcode. finally southeast-european techno-ambassador vegim appears to slow it down a bit, taking it to the groovy edge.

lux rec continue their endless research at the margins of music, what is underground, at every latitude, to find rough gems and bring them to light. after a series of releases which explore techno in various ways, they turned their attention to another field. that of the cold electronics and new wave movement, and french musical existentialism. cold colors comes from bordeaux, france. to lux rec he is the best expression of and a new take on that type of music. a sense of solitude is the first reaction to his music. melodic longings for something that is not there, unreachable. four songs to depict a hopeless stare into emptiness. shadows of a love long gone.

ambareesh invites you into a paradoxical fusion of murky sound that pushes boundaries beyond banality. the juxtaposed *emotionless sensitivity* penetrates the senses creating a canal for deep sensitivity that runs contrary to indifference. between the rugged, jagged appearance lay the intricate essence of hidden quality as tracks reveal provoking denotation. *illusion* reveals the deep trudging that cuts through the whipping vibe. *bipolar nervous system* brings a sense of suffocation as the tormenting tandem of fragmented sound haunts the solar plexus. *walking through sand dunes* is a carefully constructed piece, stimulating successive pulsation as frightful ambience permeates. virile, cagey crawling sensations infuse as ambareesh concludes with *dehydrated*, a hollow, sterile piece of synthetic techno. this second ep by ambareesh on amba amba records is truly a careful union of tumultuous sound, provoking rowdy sensation that stimulates visceral response.

sometimes it is best to let the music do the talking, this is one of those occasions. local talks 46th release comes from exciting debutant sameed. little did we know about sameed before we got the four tracks for this 12 inch, for all we know it could be your neighbour. quick-firing the release is spend, functional as a set highlight with its dubby chords, vocal snippets and a wonky bassline. included on the b-side is a dub that will work perfect as a dj tool for those who want to go a little bit deeper. showcasing sameeds sense for keeping things stripped down and sweaty, still is a dirty exercise in acid witchcraft while getyoself can best be described as a delicately raw rhythm with dark textures.

while ipoly music is focussed to enrich the dancefloors with special music contents, our new release line ipoly mate steps out of the club and connects real songs with tech house elements in a novel sense. rookie gabriel vitel starts off and makes his debut with two desired pieces from the all-around impacting alec troniq & gabriel vitel liveact

latest iib release features the north easts version of csn last waltz. a double header, the first track just hold on is a collaboration between last waltz & smoove. heartfelt vocals over a pastoral rolling chugger, deep bassline folky guitar strumming making this a favourite at iib hq. on the remix ess o ess raise the tempo a little bring out the electric guitars and increasing the chug to almost krautrock levels. on the flip side last waltz give us tribute. a deep atmospheric acid affair. mellow electric keys and percussion lull you into a false sense of security before the heavy kick and acid bassline drop with dark cello notes. machete savane take on the remix. replacing acid for guitar and adding some machine groove this slowly builds and builds into a top bubbler.

hand stamped and numbered, strictly limited to 320 copies. osiris music uks thirty seventh release *open water versions* sees the label taking an innovative, almost open-source approach to what could be a more conventional remix project, with four artists contributing their own unique perspectives to one anonymous track. the eps opening salvo comes courtesy of killawatt, who brings a dense combination of driving force and technical intricacy whilst ipman imbues his version with urgent percussion and sense of cavernous tension. the second half of the release sees the debut of osiris music label owner simon shreeves mønic project, the pummelling, cinematic sounds of which providing apt counterpoint to the staggered, churning techno of metrists version which rounds up the ep. early support from laurent garnier, eomac, bas mooy and paul mac.

concealed sounds return with a new 12 for 2014. this time around we have invited our friends from mysteries sylphe label to remix the title track by martinez, and they delivered a monster! on the a side we find >consolidation (sylphe lydlos dub)<, were we are taken a true journey thru sound and rhythms for about 13 minutes. the remix kicks off in a kind of tracky way, with a strong focus on the irresistible groove laid down by holdie gawn & micawber. after the first small breaks and manipulations to the groove, we are introduced to some very trippy modular sound design. these sounds takes the lead of the remix and forms into small melodies in a very organic way. while you can still sense the ingredient from the original track, sylphe takes a slightly different directions and offers a good opposite to the original with their own special twist. the original version of >consolidations< is presented on the b side of this 12. its a dirty groove ridden track that goes on for well over 10 minutes, developing from a broken groove into a more danceable techno pieces, with its shattering metallic sounds, bubbly baselines, deep layers of sub rhythms and lush pad chords to give it some more atmosphere. two very different version of modern instalment in techno music. we hope you enjoy it as much as we do… and as always there is a special hidden track on this 12.

moj001 delivers to you five tracks from little nobody which fascinatingly branch through diverse genres and influences which here, on the one record alone, manage to represent this artists wide variety as well as nicolas. judging from this artists extensive bio, since hes delved through techno, idm, hip hop, jazz, disco, electro, etc, the wide-spectrum approach becomes evident. like many artists from the 1990s, little nobody brings with him the healthy baggage of music with a message, polemic subjects, thoughts, ideas, humor, you name it. this comes as an aural statement: music has the power to challenge us, the way in which we perceive the world, and points out things which could potentially generate change for the better — if we only stopped and considered looking that much deeper. so this record couldnt come at a better time, a period in which we live where everything is disposable and a numbed societys music attempts to reach out for our consciousness — posing for us the opportunity to stop and think.

the second coming. finlands otherworldly electro lords blastromen return to the dominance electricity mothership to deliver their much anticipated second longplayer. the eight new compositions featured on *reality opens* continue where their debut album *human beyond* left off in the year 2010 and lead straight to the next level. sophisticated arangements with epic synth melodies and atmospheres, haunting electro breakbeats and elaborate vocoderized lyrics prove once again that blastromen are a class of their own.

everything comes to an end: while researching the acidic sense in nights of insomnia aware that everything comes to an end serenity came to my mind: acid saves my sanity.

untitled opens up, building behind a gently reverberated 4/4 kick and interchanging hat sequences. hypnotic, off-kilter samples and subtle flecks of acid generate a brooding and purposeful tone as a sense pressure builds throughout.

docile shapes tone and midi to make sense out of random noise. we refine and redefine melodies giving them the warmth of new life. our style is an unrelenting adherence to the simple. our groove moves cool and easy and is often following the path of a drunken love arrangement. our sound reaches childlike for a funk that is beautiful. docile is an artist label. our art is the craft of vinyl as well as the music on it. we are an independent voice that walks a lonely path no matter the cost. docile still believes.

limited nice price !!
i need you to touch me till i feel it baby. i need you to touch me till it hurts.< and so the chorus of >till it hurts< goes. native undergrounds altogether auspicious debut makes quite the passionate proclamation, but once you have heard those synths, that bass and javis voice, it will all make sense.

acclaimed for many of his compositions on labels such as aesthetic audio, art, ornate, alongside his blistering dj performances. aer boss miles drops the labels first and his debut album. deep is a word often used to describe a lot of music currently out there, but not many touch the depths of this superb lp on atmospheric existence. miles touches on many shades of sound with his trademark emotive warmth. melancholy but positive vibrations flow out alongside abstract grooves. hypnotic elements grace the journey, creating an otherworldy sense of space and distant unknown entities. feeling & mood leap out of this lp at every twist and unexpected turn, circumnavigating the deep spectrum. since his early releases, his imprint aer has become a highly respected imprint globally with a dedicated following. this lp was constructed to stand the test of time and stand it does, firmly rooted in the cosmos

italian producer domenico camarilla has hit a rich vein of form under the jose manuel guise of late, supplementing output on his own black pepper label with feted appearances for tusk wax, is it balearic?, lectric sands and citizen kanes disques sinthomme. given his profile, a union with the soft rocks affiliated kinfolk label makes utmost sense and jose manuel fans will find much to enjoy about ajna. both the title track and *the clear after the storm* are steeped in eastern mysticism and feature heavy percussion from the man manuel, whilst the accompanying soft rocks remix will appeal to fans of rabih beainis *tanki tanki* edit.

born in hungary, gabor nemethy aka snilloc started djing at t he t ender age of 18, and event ually made his way t hrough a combinat ion of hard work and unceasing enthusiasm. by 2002 however, snilloc had come to the realization that a respected reputation as a dj in his home country was no longer enough. snilloc approaches each dancefloor with a childlike enthusiasm and a mature taste for music. this killer- combo – combined with his excellent sense of humour – makes every occasion in his presence an unforgettable one.

daze maxim adds another episode to his practice of long-form explorations, on this his second release for lisbon’s assemble music. this time hes joined by a master in this field, baby ford, whose remixes over the past few years continue his own distinctive development of extended minimal house trips. dazes beginning an ending rides a skippy, loose beat for several minutes, the snares and hats gradually opening up as wordless vocalizations exclaim and interject with increasing regularity, the bass bumping contentedly underneath. pads join the equation for an intricate midsection – evoking memories of alcachofa-era happy experimentalism that nonetheless fit within daze maxims disciplined and dancefloor-oriented approach.peter ford recasts the original into his now unmistakable soundspace, where the push and pull between front-and-centre rhythmic components and evanescent background atmospherics creates that recognizable but undefinable sense of emotion, felt but unexplained. in ford’s world there isnt anything as simple as a beginning or an end, so the remix provides a valuable counterpoint to the original. given their now impressive track record, its no surprise that assemble music has pulled off another cohesive statement that works equally on the body and the mind.

groovement has been developing its artistic connection with japan in recent years, so sais integration as a member of the labels on-going group of producers feels nothing short than natural. this first record showcases his meticulous approach to electronic music creation, with 4 original tracks that constitute a strong demonstration of his potential. flying with you” is a collection of tracks with a house matrix feel, sometimes revealing a dramatic pulse other times hypnotic forward thinking moves, but always with a subtle melodic texture that makes it work for the mind, body and soul. in fact, sais music is both luminous and dense, inviting us to embark on a trip but giving us the freedom to dream about our own destination. its a beautiful sense of interaction between the creator and his audience.

following a failed demo submission to mad decent (note to diplo - we can hold a grudge a very long time…) blacknecks decide to self release their crossover mega-hit > to the cosmos, lets go! < with an unlikely pairing of stock-aitken-waterman style disco and robust techno grooves, this track effortlessly showcases their 2-step production prowess, by not even needing to call upon it. flip over for an armani-esque belter, backed with a noisy, introvert synth jam with a needlessly grandiose name. suck em...

release no.2 on nofitstate sees matthew styles taking over the reigns the signals ep is a varied beast as youd expect from one of the most distinguished and versatile producers of the last couple of years. signals kicks things off, a beautifully effortless flowing groove with on-point percussion and subtle elements that keep things moving perfectly. lucky keeps the vibe nice and deep, a razor sharp snare imbuing the track with a sense of energy whilst codex leans toward melody with it s pitch perfect arpeggiated motif dominating proceedings. gesopik console rounds the ep off nicely with a nod to nu-disco energy.

after exploring over 6 hours worth of unreleased original material from the relentlessly prolific and ever expanding production catalog of will azada, cgi is extremely proud to present these 3 stand-out cuts that represent a depth of production skill and aesthetic range unparalleled in today’s over-saturated dance music landscape. confronting the clichés head-on, azada breathes new life into tried-and-true templates of jacking, industrial funk and synth-y groovers with his remarkable ear for arrangement and sense of movement, masterfully exploiting the infinitely renewable resource of subtle variations that he continuously unfolds throughout the tracks’ durations. the material runs the gamut from the stark, throbbing, industrial workout “the whip” to the melody-driven, synth-fueled ecstasy of “michalski’s theme” and the chord-driven, vocal-chopped house of “cliché.” the fact that an ep this unique and diverse can also feel so unified is a testament to the vision on display here.

for every producer the first album is a big thing and filled with lots of emotions and love. finally after two years of work, after their last single sugar - cocina india with a straight pumpin sweet n candy remix, lepetris album >acoustic signs< comes out on wanted beatz with full of natural sounds. inspired by his impressions, lepetri speaks in his tracks from minimal to techno about his experiences and places, such as the album name implies, an acoustic sign in the musical underground culture without losing the sense of club music. so it was important for him to bring his experience and adventures in form musical expression. from rocking beats up to melodious strings, each turntable can be served in the club. a club album which fits to each phase of a party. therefore, the first vinyl goes more towards house and the second vinyl contains more techno elements. check it out and enjoy!
