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.

many reggae artists are lucky to make one breakthrough to the music mainstream. horace andy has managed not only to make a mark with *skylarking*, but also to deliver the definitive reggae version of soul singer-songwriter bill withers evergreen *aint no sunshine*. one of reggaes most distinctive singers, andy has managed to sound as credible delivering social commentary as he does love songs. as one critic put it, *the fragile, vulnerable qualities of his voice could invariably be relied upon to add dignity and sincerity to songs*, the proof is everywhere on this compilation.

>we have been incredibly lucky to put out laszlos first two stunning releases, and this third one is more of the thoroughbred house music we ve come to expect. i love these guys so much i even did a remix for this release. plimton is a huge slab of filter house, perfect for the high points of any set, whilst zizzou takes things in a quirkier, more introverted direction. as for my remix, you can make your own minds up.< - george fitzgerald

an artefact from a perfect studio long abandoned, bok bok drops this alternative deleted mix of his new single *melbas call*. this version will be available on limited 10&#8243,,, vinyl only, as part of the night slugs white label series. both the original mix (released digitally march 31st) and this version feature kelela, the powerful vocalist behind the smash cut 4 me mixtape, released last year on fade to mind. boks instrumental melted in the trash, mangled tape dragging his cyborg funk to an excruciating, ruined memphis-like quarter-time. meanwhile kelela remains as immediate as ever, evoking r&b greats from a cannon she is clearly set to join. to be played loud and preferably in the dark.

weve complied two blackman and maurice joshua productions for the fourth house of trax 12inch. its a bit of a dirty one... to say the least. althought more polictically incorrect then a dutch politician, these humourous trax will set fire to the speakers for the right reasons too. the little known blackman had a 1993 release with >beat that bitch with a bat<, a song which later got popularized by johnny dangerous. the original 12inch got pressed up in small quantities and is available for the first time in 17 years. on the flip theres both the vocal and instrumental version of maurice joshuas (with hot hula hands) >i got a big dick<, which originally came out in 1988, as the a-side of his more known >this is acid<. both tracks are pretty rare these days and will still go down a storm on the dancefloor.

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.

gene siewing - the st louis dj and producer now making serious waves in berlin - keeps the momentum going for the second release on his new imprint. intent recordings looks set to be a buy-on-sight operation, prizing quality over quantity, and on a mission to provide music aimed firmly at the dance-floor, whatever the genre. as such, its the perfect outlet for gene s own productions - a conduit for the grooving, funk n disco infused house sound that he is fast becoming known for

mario weise aka marlow ist definitiv kein newcomer mehr in dieser szene. er veröffentlichte bereits eine palette cluborientierter tanzmusik seit 1994. während der vergangenen 20 jahre bezauberte uns marlow mit releases auf prestigebehafteten deutschen labels, wie dem leipziger moon harbour recordings, dem berliner label konsequenz oder dem hamburger room with a view, um nur ein paar zu nennen. jetzt ist es an der zeit die karten neu zu mischen und marlow bei sonar kollektiv willkommen zu heißen. nach seinem remix für das kürzlich erschienene *re-set* von alex barck feat. pete josef, präsentiert er nun seinen ersten richtigen release auf dem berliner label. *backroom* ist ein verspieltes, bassgesteuertes sing-along im gewand von leichtfüßigem pop/house, was eher auf der heimischen anlage oder dem ipad erklingen wird und definitiv grenzüberschreitend die funkhäuser okkupiert. die b-seite beinhaltet einen weiteren herausragenden track, der den myteriösen namen *l4l (vertigo)* trägt.

following on from killawatts bring down the walls ep at the tail end of last year osiris music continues to expand their sonic boundaries as they move in 2014, with their first release of the year coming in the form of sleepers simulation theory ep. experimenting for the very first time with fm synthesis, the ep features seven tracks of thunderous production the majority of sounds for which sleeper drew from a mere four oscillators in a bid to recalibrate his production skills. the resulting record is far more than the sum of its component parts and, save for the skulking, static soaked tension of meth, moves with relentless force and purpose throughout.the simulation theory ep sees sleeper taking his already deft grasp of both dubstep and techno production and fusing them to a body of pummelling forward momentum perfectly suited to set osiris music off on what promises to be a bold and progressive year.

fontarrians debut effort for berlin-based label antime offers a glimpse into a fragile yet eclectic spectrum consisting of loopy vocal bits, slowly unwinding washes of dream like ambience, distinctively (s)tumbling almost jazzy percussions and an ever-present, blissful warmth. the latter emanates from and sucks you into what seems to be a world of its own. like a lo-fi attempt at capturing momentary twists of the heart through 10 significantly diverse tracks - imperfect nonetheless - the album feels like a mixtape you ve set out to record for someone special, but somehow never got around to.
