carbon chic, a native of minneapolis, delivers a high-impact redux on a soulful kick for the a-side. while for the b-side, a deep and cozy after-hours excursion effortlessly begins. two tracks at home both on the dancefloor and in your space. beyond the speaker invites carbon chic for the label s sophomore release after legowelt and willie burns shared the successful label debut, angels against dust. with a broken man, beyond the speaker expands its horizons by committing new talent to wax, furthering the label s vinyl expedition. carefully mastered by alek stark, a broken man in redux form does not compromise, upping the tension between burrowing bass, satisfying beat and vocal machinations. on the flipside, deep affection offers a more comforting assortment of synthetic melody and late night warmth while maintaining a firm dancefloor footing with gently rolling hihats topping everything off.

*push* sees the bridging of two minds, a spontaneous event of shared loops, ideas and vision. my panda shall fly & maulin join creative forces giving birth to five abstract free-form compositions. having followed each others work for some years, the pair found themselves in an east london studio first commencing a sonic dialogue just days before christmas.

7eventhirty and gensu dean. rapper and producer. mello music group stalwarts and jackson, mississippi natives turned dallas denizens. their working together was fated, rooted in shared soil before it was written in indelible ink. with 7eventhirtys sophomore album, the problem, the duo have committed their destined collaboration to wax, giving rap listeners an album that wrestles with the rapidly changing present and carves out a much-deserved space in the forever-uncertain future.

when leeds duo galaxians formed in 2012, their mission was clear, to bring back beat, and at a breakneck pace, including releases on rotating souls (atlanta) and leedss own stargaze, plus stages shared with the likes of tom tom club, golden teacher, zombie zombie, and ultramagnetic mcs, galaxians are here to bring back visceral funk. with their latest release on brooklyns dither down records, galaxians have found the perfect home for a duo inspired by nyc boogie labels like west end and sam. giving them the perfect opportunity to showcase the sounds that have made them such a hit with festival crowds. it is their inherent love of nycs hard attack, that makes the bounce of ducket$z through the slippery glide of skydive all the more visceral and exciting. say hello to your new favorite gang of two, galaxians.

since and002 when derek kaye offered his skilful reworks of chaka khan s ain t nobody and players association s turn the music up , his profile has gone from strength to strength with a dedicated soundcloud following and a number of memorable club appearances, most notably at motion in november 2013 when he shared the bill with a&r edits curator greg wilson, closing the night with a back-to-back session - the first time the pair had dj ed together in over 30 years

tapping into the strong current of quality electronic music coming out of sweden, the latest bass culture shines a light on two talents working out of the stockholm underground who have created their own imprint on the european house and techno scene. the pajala sunrise e.p marks the first release that mr tophat and art alfie have issued away from their shared base camps of junk yard connections and karlovak, two labels that showcase the pair’s commitment to pushing 4/4 dance music forwards wherever they can. energy lies at the heart of the sound that oscar and rudolf (to give them their real names) conjure up, both in the urgent pulse of their full-bodied drum arrangements and the spiritual lilt of their melodic content.

when the aquaplano records were first released in 2008 and 2009, emerging out of hardwax with little fanfare, they were distinctly out of step with the way techno appeared to be heading. the minimal detour was reaching its logical endpoint, and producers were returning to the 1990s for inspiration, with berghain and sandwell district at the vanguard of a new techno movement. what the aquaplano sessions shared in common were slower bpms and finding inspiration in the 1990s, but there they parted ways. the influences these italians were drawing on were rather different, returning to tribal rhythms and ambient textures to sketch out a much more heady, psychedelic form of techno.

dungeon meat is the new label and production outfit brought to you by dungeon masters brawther and tristan da cunha. packing a serious punch, its aim is to present tracks designed specifically to rock the party and shake the sound system. originally conceived as a platform for their own musical visions it soon became apparent that they would have to open the doors to a select few who shared their ambition to make no messing, hard hitting house grooves. one of these artists is the mysterious blunt instruments who has the honour of kicking off the label. after road testing his huge club hammer hold back brawther and da cunha knew it had to be on dungeon meat as it epitomised exactly the sound they wanted to present. hold back has been a firm fixture in their sets and even got cut to dubplate by jeremy underground paris. its not all about the a-side though as blunt instruments craft 2 other killer club cuts for the flip side we wont go on too much trying to describe how good this ep is ... instead well let the music do the talking

packed with three headphone jams that work on the dancefloor, animals marks the entry of a new creative force into the throne of blood family and a return to a lighter, more spaced-outvibe than much of the nyc-based imprint’s output over the past year. with an eye towards pushing things forward whilst keeping a foot firmly planted in a shared past spent raving to all sorts of dance music, throne of blood is proud to introduce our latest signing: pleasure planet.

following on from the success of their self titled label compilation in october, the livity sound collective returns for a final transmission in 2013 courtesy of their sister label dnuos ytivil. (pronounced livity sound, if you were wondering…) a strictly underground operation, its manifesto is to release music with a shared aesthetic to its parent label and it did just that earlier in the year, delivering two dancefloor bombs by manchesters alex coulton in the form of the *war games / pointe noire* 12 inch. *spooked* and *clarity (dismantled)* are both produced by new uk based artist batu whose signature alien dub dance and snaking hypnotic rhythmic styles reflect the mutating underground uk and round off a killer year for the label as a whole. this 12 inch follows on from batus debut vinyl release on pinchs cold recordings label.

from their earliest childhood, kiril kirik and ivanov, have been overcome by electronic music, having a different sens of this art. deep-tech from the eastern europe. the two urkranian djs were linked with in records in paris, a label sharing the same different taste of music. they decided to give birth to this story through this vinyl under your eyers. under a deep-tech beat, a booming bassline and a minimalistic melody comes *wish you* shared with love hoping to reach your feelings.

the first release on the new bodytonic label is the debut ep by white collar boy. white collar boy are a two piece electronic-garage group from dublin. mark cummins (the ginger one) and gavin white (the-not-so-ginger one) met in barcelona where their shared passion for electronic composition (and knitting) inevitably led the pair to merge their creative endeavors. *suuu / tide* comes fresh with remixes from twisted pepper resident frank b (he of chain of fools fame) and simon bird.

fresh off their recent single on avotre, the california duo of yooj and steve huerta return in fine form, this time with their retrofit debut. the pairs creative partnership began back during their final year of university where they discovered a shared affinity for a sound quite divergent from the preferences of their edm addled peers.

stuck in the 9-5 grind, stifled by the impersonality of constant social media and mobile interaction, contemporary urban life can be suffocating. for a certain breed, release cannot be found in the vast, unpopulated great outdoors. urban animals congregate in heaving warehouses, seeking solace in the liberating beats of the kick drum. they are bound not by association, but through a shared experience of primal relief felt in those shadowy, dance floor corners swelling with the sounds of low end frequencies and brazenly sculpted grooves. this is the urban animals jungle.

- superb new label project from shifted & sigha...
- features full picture outer sleeve and printed innersleeve. a fusion of like minds, shared ideals and distorted electronics.

it has always been one of my dreams reunite the old group of friends i met in the basement of rome and with whom i have begun the journey towards this adventure. today i am very happy to present this work made in collaboration with one of my closest friends and with whom i shared for long time studios, music, ideas, techniques and the mutual love for a good italian cuisine. i sincerely believe that donato dozzy does not need any introduction.

ambivalent & michael l penman debut on ovum with *shimmer*. having found a very fruitful collaborative friendship, michael l penman and ambivalent (aka kevin mchugh) have begun exploring the intersection of their approaches to music-making. they originally connected when kevin discovered michaels music in 2010. after playing many of his productions in his dj sets and including them in a mix-cd (_ground) release for minus, kevin made contact and the pair began exchanging files and swapping ideas. this led to time in the studio together and yet more file exchanges. quickly a natural creative balance emerged as they found that their production techniques were complementary as is their shared love of groove, bass and musicality. for their ovum debut the duo have delivered a trio of tracks that have those three elements at their core. title track shimmer brings together raw jackin funk with a warm driving bassline and scything techy stabs whilst chevalier matches its fun bouncy groove with an infectious and spritely melody. final track memogram comes heavy with the oldskool, delivering a bed of beats and samples beneath the very heaviest of acid-kicks. not for the feint of heart!

similarly, this compilation is all about that - bringing interesting elements together. i have invited producers that envoke that magic within me. they have all touched my soul. great music is just like happiness, its only real when shared.

ida engberg describes collage like so: not many things in life beat the true experience of the perfect party. that definitive moment when location, music and people all come together in the same place to create that perfect shared experience. it is about that vibe that can only exist when all those components work together in perfect harmony.

golden age thinking was previously a three part, split lp but the three tracks featured on golden age thinking were to be an additional footnote to the project before the complete lp was released as a whole package digitally in june this year. written just before martin passed away in late-2012 the tracks featured on this, the 12 release, are the sort of timeless house music the duo shared a deep love of and the decision to release them was taken by giles and martins father.

summer!! open air!! big one!! strong limited! this first release from the belgian label brings out a collaboration between two berlin-based producers for an exclusive locked groove track. they shared their experience together and the result delivered by the duo is a warm and analog track by developping the complementary aspects between house and techno.

what is good music? most of the time you judge by your feelings. and feelings differ. one step back ahead is a mindset shared by the wupwup group of creatives connected through their passion of music, this passion has resulted in the foundation of a record label without a musical focus. this freedom allows our artists to produce music that reflects their own personality - true music for warm souls is the heart of one step back ahead. a gathering of international artists operating in different fields of expression form the debut release. judge for yourself. underground is a fairytail.

elson david is the joint venture of londons duct and owen howells, two of shades of grey recordings co-founders. their first ep, a three-tracker of techy, acid-laced house with tongue-in-cheek nods to uk raving past and present is released on 21st january 2013. the collaboration was born of their shared love of acid house and rave culture, and the desire to do something a bit different to their solo work. both bring considerable talents to bear, ducts classical training and detailed craftsmanship, and owens idiosyncratic grooves and dancefloor focus combine in unexpected ways to produce something that sounds like neither and both.

wncl recordings and kevin mcphee have spent many a moon discussing a shared love of mood ii swing, dubplate culture and bobby champs amongst other things. in between times, the canadian young-gun has been honing 4 tracks to present wncl012 – a finely crafted extended play in which mcphee gets his clonk on. >…in keeping with wncls hard jacking groove tendencies mcphee produces four slices of brick hard house that you will be hard pressed to even try and overlook.< (sonic router)

they all have shared mutual respect and support for each other over the years, and their releases in kompakt, echocord, mobilee, desolat, mule, morris:audio or regular endorse their work. 5 tracks that will make your mouth water from the first moment. another great contributionto high quality electronic music.

the moritz von oswald trio operates at the bleeding edges where musical lineages collide. feeling for the shared heartbeat that pulses through dub, techno and jazz, it seeks out points of contact before exploding them outward into hypnotic explorations of rhythm, texture and tone. after two previous studio albums and one live album through honest jons, the trio - moritz von oswald, max loderbauer (nsi / sun electric) and sasu ripatti (vladislav delay / luomo) - returns with fetch, their most fully-realized voyage yet into these in-between worlds.

2methyl (aka 2methylbulbe1ol) is an up and coming 26 year old audio heavyweight from the east of france. at first a fan of post-hardcore, grindcore and noise rock, his discovery of venetian snares and xanopticon opened new boundaries for him to explore, resulting in his own distinctive, crushing sound. he uses music as a form of narrative, leading dance floors through intriguing cyberpunk, industrial soundscapes. 2methyl s releases to date include 2 ep s on rotator s ruff recordings imprint, and another one on komodo dragon records. he shared stage with eight frozen module, niveau zero, sinister souls, counterstrike, reso, dope d.o.d, luke viber, shitmat.with his new ep on overclockheadz rec., 2methylbulbe1ol dives deeper into his approach of dubstep,a blend of metallic heaviness, mechanic pianos dull melancholia and the humming of sub-bass reminiscing the hyper technological sounds of neuro-funk. 3 dystopian visions of an hyperspace haunted by fantasies of civilization, 3 requiems for mankind sung by orphan automatons. to complete the whole, a stripped-out version of golem by hecq, a mastering by angelos liaros (mobthrow), splendidly-sleeved by the old accomplice okiko.

the prism is an aluminum cube, small enough to fit in your palm. it was designed by nicolas jaar as a new medium for releasing music. the first release - csa001 - features twelve (mostly) unreleased songs from jaar and other clown & sunset collaborators. the prism is a piece of art in and of itself, its contents beg to be shared. twin headphone outlets encourage connections to the object and between the two listeners. the prism tries to restore physicality to the listening experience. the medium and the method are as important as the music itself. the prism makes you consider how the music is being heard, the way the object feels in your hands, and its potential to foster intimacy between listeners. when the prism is unplugged, a beam of light passes through the empty center, revealing a void. someone is missing.

arjun vagale has played alongside such heavyweights as fergie, sasha, dave seaman, paolo mojo, cari lekebusch and kasey taylor, while his live act, jalebee cartel, has shared headlining spots with the likes of the prodigy, modeselektor and carl cox. his knowledge and use of technology in the booth is second to none, often adding drum machines and samplers to create uniquely raw, funk-laden techno sets.

ppbr streetgang have a long lasting relationship with 2020vision, through the various record shops, dancefloors and after parties shared in leeds over the years. they have also remixed tracks from the last two crazy p albums for the label. as residents at we love at space ibiza theyve carved a niche as a classy dj double act as adept at backroom disco sets or terrace filling house tear ups, all delivered with a smattering of funk and good times. their debut 2020 ep follows up their >downstroke< release for hot creations, a huge throbbing low slung houser indebted to mike dunns classic >god made me phunky<. this ep continues the vibe of this last release, all tracks drip with funk in a sleazy house flavour with a definite disco edge. much like the pbr dj sound they have now found a trademark production style that utilises their love of a body shaking bassline, crisp beats, quirky samples and a unifying groove.

we celebrate our number 30 with a double pack, featuring one of the creators of techno in spain: groof.roberto gemelin, from madrid, is groof. hes robert calvin too. no matter which of his alias you know him by, hes one of the most active producers in the madrid arena.aka robert calvin, he released materials with turbo (tigas label) in 2004, having previously collaborated with star whores in a joint release with alek stark (2002). also important are the remixes he did for disko b or for sindicato records and msx, paying tribute to megabeat with his recreation of the great classic strange.his background as groof is even more extensive, as his early steps go back to the times of minifunk (the cheeky and shameless label from barcelona that was then managed by omar and dj loe). with them he recorded mambo! (1999) and i want you(2000). he has also recorded with warmup, fieber, rainwaves or shareware records.at the end of the ninetees groof shared quite unusual with oscar mulero: the start of a deep friendship that nowadays brings us wu30 mini-album.

to complete the current run of samurai releases we present a 12 inch from lynx (detail recordings / soul:r), an artist we have always admired. lynx is a true individual who’s style can never be compared to anyone else, the kind of producer we like to work with. after hearing our first release on samurai horo, he approached us with these 2 tunes and we instantly knew he shared our vision. both sides are unique and stylistically adventurous like few others in the 170 bpm construction business. dj support from dj hype, laurent garnier, jubei, loxy, spectrasoul, john b and more.

the latest instalment in the ever-evolving tale of circus company comes from a partnership that has already borne plenty of tightly honed dancefloor fruit, although never before for our merry band of performers and freaks. marc schneiders service to european house music runs deep. as well as steering the course of the mega-distributor wordandsound, marc has been steadily appearing on releases and remixes for new kanada, metamorphic, einmaliens and many more over the years. however marcs studio collaborations with ralf schmidt are fast becoming his most celebrated output. ralfs aera project is already being loudly championed by the most critical tastemakers in the business, including glowing praise from resident advisor and fact magazine for his unique and impeccably crafted tracks on his own aleph music label. after a string of successful remixes, the pair consummate their shared passion with this strong, focused three-tracker that makes a space for itself in the club-ready end of the circus company record bag. what on the surface may seem like straight-up dj friendly cuts soon reveal their hidden depths. whispers of techno melodies and textures hum away under the surface, while those with keen ears will pick up the sneaky tributes to uk rave culture that aera is known for sprinkling over his tracks. primarily though, these tracks gracefully tread the line between functionality and flair, leaving you with another glorious selection of imaginative house music with that inimitable circus co. stamp on it.

the londinium ep is the latest release on uzuri recordings and welcomes chicago skyway back to the fold. not that hes been away too long, having produced a full 12 release and contributed to the from chicago turin amsterdam & dublin with love ep just last year. we also welcome hakim murphy to the label – with his credentials it was only a matter of time before our paths crossed!as the title suggests, this release was inspired, conceptually at least, by our nations capital, and its apparent that sean has spent quite enough time here to get the gist of the place, with the b-side tracks entitled traffic and noise, respectively. im sure he loves it here, really.musically, he keeps it closer to his windy city heart – very clearly reflecting his roots, in fact. as a dj and club promoter in mid 90s chicago, sean frequently shared the decks with some of the citys biggest talents at that time – cajmere, gene farris and spencer kinsey (gemini) among them, and one could say that theres an audible relief flavour to a-side, london streets, with its stripped-back, hypnotic stomp. its fitting that hakim murphy remixes the track, coming from similar roots within chicagos scene, and his own reworking retains the drawn-out essence of the original but brings a whole new hips-and-shoulders groove to the track.

now is the time is a collection of works from nite vision, the result of two production sessions between a pair of electronic musicians heavily influenced by the pure analogue sounds and primordial brilliance and simplicity of the early house music pioneers. craig stainton and nigel rogers have teamed up to produce their first release together, exploring the deeper side of a shared love for early chicago house music. this package is not a parody or imitation, it is as authentic and genuine as the sounds recorded by pioneers such as virgo, vincent floyd and mr fingers. nite vision’s emotive sound carries on the lessons taught by these early masters, while remaining fresh and well defined. the double 12inch is a selection of 9 deep raw house tracks that bind together to provide a true listening experience as well as having the jack to rock the dance floor and ethereal melodies to engross the mind

the singular threads of the musical fabric that is barrio weedwagon are too numerous and long to trace the beginnings. however, the story does indeed have a start. the spark first took flame on a dance floor deep in the heliopolis favela of são paulo, brazil. after this initial shared out of body experience about 2012, barrio weedwagon can best summed up in these words: emerging from a black hole in the center of the milky way galaxy, the beings who would claim the name barrio weedwagon were awakened. the steady stream of organized radio frequencies from earth became a soothing and yet tantalizing lullaby for our heroes.

mad limited edition of 200 copies only in coloured vinyl!incl. remixes by moullinex,jbag & social disco club!kamp!is a polish electronic pop trio - their sound is often described as melodic synth-pop influenced by 80s new wave, 70s krautrock and 90s french house genres! kamp! shared a stage with artists such as caribou, hurts, deadmau5, robyn, goldfrapp, m83, white lies, moderat, black lips, thieves like us, onra, egyptian hip hop or joakim & the disco. since autumn 2009 kamp! has also performed internationally in germany, us (culture collide in los angeles, sxsw in austin), uk (the great escape festival in brighton, liverpool music week, cargo in london), france (europavox), china (expo 2010) and czech republic.

andreas reihse is well known since 1994 in his role as musician with kreidler. sometimes he releases club music, for example using his alias april or with detlef weinrich (kreidler, tolouse lowtrax) as binford on labels like italic, onitor or smoothrooms. he also composed soundtracks for artist movies and installations (rosemarie trockel, maximilian zentz zlomowitz, thea djordjadze, andreas gursky, frances scholz/mark von schlegell, among others). romantic comedy is music for dark clubs, for places without much light and oxygen – its driving, percussive dance music. a comedy in six acts: from l.a. to düsseldorf and back. music and lyrics? - pop goes my heart! - of course its a romantic comedy, a bittersweet romance full of memories and a bit of sorrow. >der lange weg nach düsseldorf< the title reminds of mittagspauses der lange weg nach derendorf, derendorf, the district of düsseldorf where andreas reihse and stefan betke / pole in the late 80ies shared a rehearsal room. langeweg also was the adress of the studio of klaus dinger in zeeland. the titles of the other pieces refer to dubious characters that show that the trip on the west coast makes stops in manchester, milano, brussels and london without forgetting charlottenburg and williamsburg. places that hold up against oblivion and reinvent themselves. your club needs you. the cover was designed by artist thea djordjadze

fright returns after a long absence in which we sought refuge in hades during the hail storm of gothic hysteria that passed over earths minions. some may remember us from the breakthrough debut release from gatekeeper or the unholy italo-techno alliance we shared with antoni maiovvi. now finally, we return, this halloween, with our most ominous mission yet. naum gabo aka glasgows jonnie wilkes (1/2 of optimo) and james savage started their illustrious career with a trio of releases as naum for kompakts speicher series then have most recently gone on to release music on dissident, thisisnotanexit, endless flight, world unknown and most recently optimo music. created and recorded between 2010 and 2011 in their hottrax studio, naum gabo have come up with > the crystal line<, > galena< and > dmitris darkness<. specifically delivered in mind for fright, they keep true to the labels mission of releasing music for unseen films with 3 mid-tempo and certainly melancholic gems that also maintain an unmistakable ng groove for the stranger dancefloors we know and love. an absolute highlight, > the crystal line< is dedicated to the late, great kurt hauenstein aka supermax. superbly cut loud at 45rpm, this epic tribute is what vinyl addicts dream of hearing.
