since decadence in june 2010 and seven eps released this year, dame music is a continuous story of success and has established itself in the underground music scene. the triumph of bloody marys >arabesque< ep on national radios was a turning point for the label which has defined its musical identity, a modern genre of electronic music blended with a touch of rock, disco, classic or new wave influences. last hits sierra sams >queen of spade< ep and komatons >dehunt< ep are an excellent representation of the dame-music signature. the artwork of the label has also seen a significant evolution by the quality of its covers and teasers which fully fits with the music. to celebrate its first anniversary and give a first overview of the label imprint, dame-music is proud to present potluck, a special compilation of unreleased tracks, produced by five duos (one of the dame-musics artists, plus one of their friend). bloody mary got this concept to gather the dame-music family (mostly consisted by marys berlin based artists and friends) to work hand in hand with the music and artwork. they shared talent, creativity, emotions and ideas.

the newest installment in night slugs vinyl-only nswl series is dedicated to >liberation front<, a track taken from egyptrixx debut lp >bible eyes<, released on ns earlier this year. without a doubt the albums biggest dancefloor cut, >liberation front is built to work best in huge rooms, stirring thousands of people at a time into a frenzy. on the a side, the original track is taken on by dj mike q, a stalwart of the vogue / ballroom club scene of his native new jersey. mike delivers an incredibly raw and stripped down remix of >liberation front<, re-working egyptrixxs unique sound design into a matrix of hard kicks, runway percussion and the of course the ballroom genres masters at work-sampling dramatic ha snare. an uncompromising rhythm track, this is club music at its most direct. as a bonus, the a side also features an edit of mike qs remix by bok bok, re-arranging the track and adding a tuff acid bassline to bring that soundsytem weight ns is known for. meanwhile keeping djs happy, the b side is dedicated to the original mix of >liberation front< in its full seven-minute glory.

the moment the needle drops on bas mooys >krull<, you know you are up for something special: one of those classic tracks that signpost a style, a timeless number that seizes the flavour of the here and now and elevates it somewhere ethereally higher - in this case booty-swinging, infectiously swinging, grinding, building, unhomogenized techno.
in his remix audio injection minimalizes the assault and its reinvented as a soaring detroit acid grumbler. then gayle san & dj hi-shock propel themselves right into the darker depths of the original version and reboot all the right parts to make it a flanged, spacey, at times relentless sci-fi tech stomper.finally ortin cam reconfigures >krull< as slick, motorized electronic dancefloor mayhem remiscent of some of the sativae outings in the early 90s by neil landstrumm and tobias schmidt.limited first press released on solid white colored vinyl.

rrocckkett 88 is a suite of 45 dazzling instrumental tracks - ranging from 30 seconds to 2 minutes long - alternating between rhythmic and atmospheric forms, all composed on a single synthesizer, the ensoniq sq 80 (manufactured in 1988). as the inspiration for this creation, zano bathroom (an illustrator, artist, and sound experimentalist based in atlanta) used jackie brenstons song, >rocket 88<, considered by many to be the first de facto rock and roll song.
with rrocckkett 88, the artist invented the story of his music. he conceived a fantasy music production house in the mid 80 s in new orleans where hip hop, house, techno, r & b, go go, punk and new wave are both the backdrop and inspiration. using these themes zano bathroom has imagined a comic strip score, made of video game music and tv commercial soundtracks creating a playful, disposable universe.
these seven inch singles on hollie records are the first official release of rrocckkett 88 and this selection of seven pieces is a good representation of the suite as a whole.
limited edition of 300 hand numbered seven inch singles with artwork by zano.

produced slowly and meticulously over the last 12 months, these seven tracks are the closet thing we have had to a new album from andy stott since the release of his debut full-length merciless five years ago. taking influence from an array of seemingly incoherent noises, from the indefinable and unforgettable mind- tricks of arthur russell to the slowhouse of kassem mosse, from the alternate vhs realities of james ferraro and jamal moss to the linn drum classics of the vintage prince era - these seven tracks create their own pace and agenda, largely shying away from the dancefloor in favour of something more complex and hard to define.

skinnerboxes first bpitch 12 inch >anapol< is the culmination of about seven years of performing experience. iftah gabbai and olaf hilgenfeld casually juggle colourful house, jazz and funk elements like its their second nature. and the metamorphosis from anarchistic improv chaos to form and structure in no way impinges on the level of energy in their music - in fact, just the opposite is the case, as the newly discovered sense of auditory space in the tracks allows them to significantly concentrate each tracks power.

die 18 stücke auf the only she chapter sind weitaus mehr zeitgenössische kompositionen als beats & loops-tracks. sie beginnen wie der titel auch alle mit the only... und featuren insgesamt 7 sängerinnen, darunter zola jesus, shara worden (my brightest diamond), niki randa (school of seven bells, flying lotus), sowie die bezaubernde, jüngst verstorbene trish keenan (broadcast). obwohl das album konzeptionell strukturiert ist, wurde der musikalische wandteppich eher unorthodox gewoben - ein effekt, der durch die unterschiedlichen herangehensweisen der sängerinnen noch verstärkt wird. mit the only she chapters gelingt es herren, eigene klischees und bisher erlerntes zu überspringen und seine horizonte und Ästhetik zu erweitern.

another debut for the new bass culture release. for bcr013, we welcome swedens joel alter. as a trained violinist and composer for the swedish national theatre, joels first steps into the world of electronic composition came with an exotic mixture of classical influence and modern inspiration, from acts such as depeche mode, jean-michel jarre and front 242. a key figure on the swedish music scene since 1995, joel has always seen his music as stemming from the meeting of a variety of artforms. his first steps onto the international circuit came with the signing of material to int. deejay gigolo and minus. since then, he has developed a strong relationship with hamburg label, room with a view, featuring on seven releases since early 2009, as well as releasing on berlin based label sweatshop...

tiagos >disambiguation< begins like an aural sea, with a surface made of synthesized swells that rise, fall and crest again. beneath these waves are briefly clangorous metallic noises, searing electro hisses, long-armed synth stretches, and a never ending beat. there are moments of understated beauty floating through this perfect marriage of disco and house, sounds that are there and gone: a bassline that stairsteps and synthetic strings that follow suit: playful keyboard melodies, and percussion provided by tiago himself, who fell in love with music when he learned to play drums as a kid. >nada a perder< (>nothing to lose<) shies away from the extravagance suggested by its name and instead feels relaxed – at least at its outset. against shape shifting synths and the sound of piano house, percussion takes a leading role here, including finger snaps and clanging cowbells. the energy builds to a peak but, even when things are at their most frenetic, this track never loses its studied composure. tiago mirandas remixes and releases have been issued on disco devil, italians do it better, rong music, ene, hands of time, eskimo and claremont 56. he is one half of dj duos slight delay, the sea power & change, and mendes & alçada, and also handles mutiple duties in the band gala drop. tiago has been djing seven hour sets almost every weekend for more than a decade at the infamous lux in lisbon, portugal.
