the swedish label dirty hands strikes back with double force. this motor driven techno 12 is hard to hide from. labelboss per hammar says when patrick gave me this track, i played it in every set for the 3 months. when he later told me that he hasnt found a home for it, we said in choir ‘lets do a dirty hands release out of it!. and after that moment, all my previous plans for the label was deleted. with patricks ruthless original combined with per hammars jungle sounding edit on the flip, this release isnt anything but a key into the producer duos minds.

with a well nourished upbringing in the belfast house and techno scene, chris hanna has proved himself as an artist that knows what works in a club. with a plethora of upfront underground releases on made fresh daily and extended play already under his belt, chris is set to follow the wave of artists who have cut their teeth on ireland’s vibrant underground circuit to take on the world’s electronic scene.

herva, of delsin, kontra, mos and all city fame, offers another set of forward-thinking dancefloor bombs. across four tracks this young italian demonstrates his unique interpretation of the past and the future again and again. herva is the artist name of herve atsè corti. he was born in 1991, and has been surrounded by music from the beginning thanks to his family. he made a reputation for himself early on at high school as a talented drummer, but, intrigued by electronic music he decided to start making his own beats with a laptop. a few years later bosconi records released his early productions, both as herva both and as life’s track (a side project with dukwa). he is also part of tru west, a collective he founded with mass prod, rufus and raffaele amenta.

2014 was a great year for glenn astro, but appearances on dj kicks (brandt brauer frick) and brownswood among other labels, numerous remixes, and a string of beautifully-crafted eps already look set to be eclipsed in 2015. the essen-based producers collaboration ep with max graef will launch their new label money $ex records in january, while his debut lp is to follow on tartelet records in the spring

we continue our speicher brand with yet another set of bangers ready to fiercely usurp hearts and minds.

vinyl only release
starting in 1990 recording for sheffield label ozone records under the name of panic with a release called voices of energy, which was then licensed to buzz in belgium, buzz 001, buzz then went on to release classics by carl craig and derrick may. he set up his own label in the same year solid groove records. the label had 30 vinyl releases over thirteen years and tracks were licensed by derrick may, terry francis, pete tong, adam x, and carl cox.as well as this he ran another four other label s, textures, dark, dot, and cheap knob gags.

limited 10 x 12 inch box set on yellow vinyl. dont call it a sequel, its just a next step! the sound of belgium digs deeper in our countrys rich soil for fierce beats, endless grooves and sonic ecstasy. the movie, the music, the book: history in the making.

argentina has a rich history when it comes to dance music and gonzalo solimano is one of the countrys finest electronic flag-bearers. with his unlock recordings imprint he has created a heavy back-catalogue that the likes of barem, guti, luca m and daniel sanchez have all contributed to. after a short break solimano is back with his *factor h* ep and the original mix is a tropical, cow bell laden treat, one that sums up the nation’s sound nicely. on remix duty is both fase and fellow argentinian maestro guti. the producers last full-length was the jazz-inspired *rompecorazones* and now a remix lp is set to follow but here we focus on his amazing edit of *factor h*. guti has maintained the percussive elements of the original but added a significant amount of groove and focused on adding in thick kick drums and more drive. it is one you can imagine on the terraces or at 4am in a darkened room and this is why guti is such a don. pressing on green marbled vinyl)

for its 52th release, be as one has picked the rising italian talent marco faraone, with a 4 tracks ep, that showcases different takes of marco’s approach to techno. the ep title track restrictions opens the 12inch with a dark, fast-paced groove and hypnotic vocal, a real treat for the authentic techno players. with day 20 marco ravels into the dub techno forest, with classic dub elements that set the tone to a deeper mood. voices from the sea follows up with a more festive approach, a big room anthem that keeps the dark vibe on the release. for the vinyl heads, an exclusive treat for the 12inch its early morning, getting a due vinyl pressing after being featured exclusively on the 2013 live compilation by shlomi aber

great groovy disco edits as we like it

its with great pride (and a certain sense of defiance!) that tom and i present you with the 200th freerange release. despite the best efforts of three bankrupt distributors, an arsonist (who set the sony warehouse ablaze back in 2012) and a volatile market, we retained the fire in our bellies, a stiff upper lip, and most importantly an unrelenting passion for electronic music, we soldiered on and here we are at freerange 200!

supported by ben klock, dvs1, marcel fengler, minilogue, joel mull, claude young, roman lindau, dustin zahn, speedy j, paul mac, alan fitzpatrick, laurent garnier and many more. we are very proud to present ray kajioka’s debut album “en route”. most of the album was premiered in rays live-set during our 20 years of kanzleramt celebration at berghain. others have been shaped and tested over 10 years to find the right frame to release on an album. our mastering engineer, who is recovering from surgery, said >the album is very therapeutic< and >the work on rays album helped me heal<. this is proof to us, that rays magic on >en route< can uplift your soul, especially in spring.

recent output has seen dorisburg pushing into deeper realms. computer drumming are some further steps in these explorations of 4/4 rhythms and acoustic depth. with a wide range in tempo, the track titles offers aid for the venturous. a1 is a reduced jam of echoing percussion that never sees the entry of a kick drum. a2 compensates with bouncing bass and a playful array of drumming elements entering and dropping off in a bold tempo. exiting on a more well established pulse, the b side consists of the deepest and most mysterious offering from dorisburg to date. distant bells and chimes and a grand formation of percussion meets thundering bass in an encounter set on vast grounds.

volume one of a two-volume twelve-inch set featuring tunes from eamon harkin and justin carters mix cd, weekends and beginnings. this volume features a beatless ambient acid journey from bass clef, an obscure gem from nebraska, and a long sought after maurice fulton remix of alice smiths love endeavor. maurices remix is cut to a full side of vinyl at 45rpm, and both sides were mastered by the ever extraordinary matt colton. it sounds phenomenal!

adult only shape is back with an intriguing collaboration, between the mysterious frenchie monsieur georget and young parisian talent le loup. a combination of the old skool with the new skool, the sounds are just that. each take a pounding bass and a solid minimal-tech stance and layer their character on top. a1 is scattered with futuristic bleeps and computerised murmurs, interspersed with reminiscing vocals, while a2 is the most raw in nature, with a tough techno feel until the smooth overtones set in and a feeling of euphoria takes over. but some may say b1 is say arguably the standout track, for its intoxicating vocal and irresistible underlying swing and groove.

the groove brothers, aka jef k and rhythm&soul, keep things moving with the second release on their fledgling label, on a mission records. it’s been seven months since the label’s debut, demonstrating the duo’s considered approach to their outlet, which has been set up to capture the true spirit of house music, basing its ideals on some of the industry’s most respected labels and keeping that timeless, classic ethos alive. this second release unites the label owners with a couple of newcomers to the scene. retaining the sultry outlook of the first release the groove brothers inject jazzy notes and smooth funky rhythms into their music, while mr ks and kub follow in a similar vein with their well-crafted contributions. ks expanding on the jazz theme, while kub takes a more sensual pathway. (words by marcus barnes)

julio bashmore today premieres brand new track rhythm of auld. like recent single simple love, its set to feature on bashmore s forthcoming debut album which is due for release in february on his own broadwalk label. rhythm of auld is another brilliant collaboration with vocalist j danna (who also featured on simple love) and is the second 12inch in a series of vinyl releases bashmore will put out in the run up to the album.

currently causing quite a stir on the underground, the jerome hill remix of marshall jeffersons s trax classic lost in the groove is a complete re-interpretation, solid jacking (hard) house music using the original vocal that s cut loud onto the vinyl and worms inside your head and has been doing serious damage in the clubs and festivals last year. now with all licensing and red tape cleared away, it s set for release. dancer boom boom is actually a collaboration between acid legend adonis and sidney winters, with a mix down by house legend frankie knuckles. this sat on the b side of am a dog on trax records and is rare & obscure to say the least, but once the needle touches the groove you know it s a killer. massive kick drums and mysterious organ scales, this one is a mad mad tune ! produced in 1987 (and sounding like nothing else from that year) it s been given a very slight and very respectful re-arrangement by jerome hill, remastered and cut super loud. strictly limited and if the previous titles on the label are anything to go by, this one will sell out equally quick.

craig bratleys magic feet imprint returns with another double header from two up and coming producers.
paresse first featured on a magic feet label sampler and has gone on to feature on jennifer cardinis correspondant label.

support has come from across the board including ewan pearson, sean johnston, psychemagik, danny daze, matt walsh, the hacker and jennifer cardini

vinyl only! dragosh delivers with impact his track brinit . set on a traveling percussion loop, playfully adventurous and filled with an ever growing energy. a warm melodic female vocal in contrast to a technical voice cut draws the listener in to feel the energy with no chance to get tired. rhadoo and cezar take the voice out and put it into a new context. with their focus firmly on the groove, and adding some extra synths they create with finesse, a proper trip... reducing the vocals into whistles and layering a rather mysterious noise, they masterfully turn this remix into something totally hypnotizing...damn good too

the first release on the platform will be from the mighty welsh producer called harrison bdp. harrison bdp is set to share his magnificent craft with his appreciation for house music. the ep will feature a remix from the label founder -­&#8208,, myself aurhythm (last seen on crude wax). the focus of his ep is purely to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone who shares the love of this music. whether it be on the dance floor or in someone s bedroom. the goal of this wonderful ep is to make you move your body and feel good.

double vinyl edition compiling selected tracks originally released as a set of six cassettes via hospital productions in an edition of 100!

paradise valleys debut deep probe ep could well be a case study on how to make an unforgettable electronic music record. take an incredible, psychedelic collection of ideas that have been drenched in emotional content and heart ache and then infused with optimism and inspirational, healing emotions, shake it with visions of outer space, and the production level 99, put that into a track that will be the defining moment of any dj set: you just got deep probe

obwohl er gerade das demolevel überschritten hatte, ging der ursprungstrack * howling* anfang 2012 (via dixons boiler room set) viral und erregte in der gesamten elektronischen musikszene aufmerksamkeit, erklomm charts und gewann awards. keiner der beiden beteiligten - singer/songwriter ry x und Âme-produzent/innervisions-chef frank wiedemann - hatte das erwartet. man beschloss kurzerhand, aus diesem erfolgreichen zufall ein projekt zu machen: howling war geboren. gleich die erste single * signs* ist ein perfektes aushängeschild für das anstehende album * sacred ground*. der nahezu hypnotische track zeigt den neuen, einzigartigen sound von howling auf: rys ätherische vocals, die über eine göttliche, minimalistische elektronische landschaft schweben. diese stimmung wird von den remixern aufgegriffen und betont: dem berliner berghain-resident und dystiopian-labelbetreiber rødhåd, kalabrese (von pitchfork als -erster großer Überläufer des minimal house seit matthew herbert- bezeichnet) sowie radio slave & thomas gandey

we have compiled some of the best scorching ska sounds that came out of w.i.r.l vaults, and it still sounds as fresh today as the day it was recorded - hope you enjoy the set!

classy, uplifting, swinging dj tool techno set.

get physicals first delivery for 2015 is, yet again, an ep that strays a bit off the beaten track. for this last installment, gpm290, junge junge has called upon australian native kyle pearce to set some velvety vocals to a toned-down, bittersweet delight of a track. the ‚beautiful girl ep opens with its namesake creation, a thumb piano-laden tune decorated by some seriously smoky singing just waiting to transport you far away. its followed by a handful of distinct reworkings, by audiofly who take on a dub remix and spins the song on its head to give it a new psychedelic identity. meanwhile, blond:ish throws it into darker terrain only to have the ‚beautiful girl lifted up by junge junge once again thanks to a slightly different version that turns it into danceable am epic by way of some wisely-placed kicks and claps.

after his latest be as one release o.d. / helter skelter, and following yotam avni and konplotts endevours on the label, shlomi aber keeps techno flowing from his imprint, releasing his new zipperwork / clones in my backroom ep. zipperwork is a relentless, fast paced techno cut, heavy bass and chunky groove, with a smartly programmed groove. flip the side, and with clones in my backroom you get a slice of straight acidic techno funk, a big room anthem with a distinctive quirky line that goes the extra mile, set to be one of the major of tune of spring 2015.

12 inch limited to 100 copies
started in 2013, mollusca vinyl is a brooklyn based electronic reocrd label specializing in minimal style, analog laden music. our folks believe in pushing the vinyl medium as art. this set of compositions has been described as balearic downtempo with pastoral departures. written while on several beaches, it suggests the definition of lackadaisical make out music, emoting euphoric post pillow talk feelings-of-the-raw through minimalist synth phrasing, ambient texturing and isolated beats. artwork by doroniyam at azuri cafe. mastered by jason at transition mastering uk. printed at brooklyn phono.

wbeeza back on third ear after a two year break, during which he set up his p fly music label and released two 12s. the can of worms ep is four joints of uncompromising future funk. all different but with one thing in common... unmistakably warren brown

you know that mesmerizing feeling given to you by that very special girl or boy? the one with a sweet and peculiar face covered in freckles, even though the sun has been hiding since forever. one of those happy souls frolicking through life, excited as if every single day was the first. that very person who once turned your winter, into summer. the three swedes david günther and shakarchi & stranéus set the cheerful vibe on this yum002 record stubbornly released in the middle of the winter along with a hnny edit – to give you, that very same feeling.

a couple of years into honing their skills in the studio and behind the booths, the very dynamic duo known as andhim returns to get physical to present us with ‘spayce, the latest specimen of their self-christened super house genre. raised on a steady diet of hip hop and jazz, the cologne-native pair have proven to many far and wide that they are entertainers at heart and envelope-pushers by nature. taking turntables where they seldom go to turn them into instruments, as well as the heavy use of samples and real-world inspiration to set their own creations apart, its fair to say that ‘spayce is just another example of the duos eclectic, eccentric inclinations. two tracks long and spanning from dance floor epic to quirky by way of some particular glitch, piano work and musical hiccups, ‘spayce ep is a very sweet addition to an already original discography.

nice price deal !!! marking the first output of cymasonic s offshot vinyl-only label and collabaration with subwax distribution, the balder ep is a two-hundred copy, hand stamped entry into the world of cymawax. there s no better way to start than with four quality tracks of hot and crunchy norwegian techno with soul by trulz & robin, under their new moniker for otherworldly machine sounds: ksmisk. the duo from oslo have been a force in norway s electronic music scene for over two decades, but their current project is set to bend and exceed all expectations. the title track makes full use of spacial effects to create the kind of landscape deserving of the cavernous exchange of industrial rooms or the breathing walls of smaller sweatboxes. its energetic arpeggiation carries the driving, raw bass line home. less linear and more neurotic, -jonson- squelches its way into existence. next, -water- is as fluid as the name suggests, using deep, delayed dub chords to sustain listeners during its eight minute life. finally, the release ends on -tehjerk- which is full of electricity, heavily charged with distortion and powerful drums before opening up into a euphoric waterfall of melodies. it s fitting that this chronicle should end up pressed onto wax, a monument to the physical launch of cymawax and trulz & robin presenting ksmisk.

at long last, its finally here. after two years of waiting, new yorks anthony naples is ready to finally reveal his debut full-length lp, body pill, set for release on four tets text records.

nail is a bit of a legend. with his career flourishing once again it seems there are plenty of ears alert to his next musical move: a limited edition and individually numbered nine-track double pack on shabby doll called nite music . and they re not going to be disappointed. this collection shimmers and shines, packed with gleaming house music designed both for early evening head-nodding and early hours hands-in-the-air moments. from deeply delicious tracks like angel dub and lunar views to harder-edged delights like track two and bikky swing , nail has created another must-have set for the fast-expanding shabby doll catalogue.

one copy per customer .... levon vincent returns with his most ambitious yet concise work to date: no less than a quadruple lp on his own imprint novel sound. the entire gamut of levon s unique talent is expressed in it s fullest here: stark minimalism adherent to the the groove - submerged industrial rhythms and flexing, dubbed-out basslines - shimmering leads and beautiful melody. set to be an instant classic, levon vincent s self-titled opus is finally upon us!!

german producer philipp priebe is set to release his latest work, our sins, on beirut based label fantôme de nuit.

san francisco-based dj/producer nick monaco has long been part of the soul clap family, releasing his first 12- on the label back in 2012. mating call, a double 12- set running at album length, is easily his most expansive release yet. it s typically eccentric, delivering a range of songs - featuring his own distinctive vocals - that blend numerous styles whilst retaining a loose, funky and altogether rather kaleidoscopic feel. it s rooted in balearic pop, but also touches on dub, deep house, boogie, dub disco and a strangely deep and contemporary take on the triple-beat rhythms of glam rock. it s hard to accurately describe, but is really rather good, certainly, it s one of soul clap s strongest releases of recent times.

a gorgeous set of synth-driven, beat-bound soundscapes rich in atmosphere and suspense.

x-press 2 are gearing up for an exciting 2015 with a formidable string of releases due on skint, and further high profile labels. but before they enter a new chapter we offer a set of un-released dance floor driven productions that wrap up the duos last few years of works and set of single/eps that saw release on the skint catalogue. this is mmxv.
