sama recordings presents 4 different visions of todays underground dance music and revives certain emotions with a distinct nod towards all things atmospheric and non linear. laminats >lade< is a more darker and melodic piece in the tradition of raw chicago house music. >sulphur dreams< is an uprising ambient dj tool, while >she can see you< is a moody electronica piece with drifting voice samples. >the withdrawal< by maria colors label boss ynk is an ever-changing analog techno monster with a special feeling for sonorical details and rapidly changing drum patterns. grounded and spiraled out, the journey continues.

you can never go home is about the first time derek went to berghain. actually, it was his first time in berlin, may have been his second day only and after a certain point he had been there for quite a while. his friend didnt want to leave and she had the keys and on top of it only she knew where they lived, so he couldnt leave but eventually it turned out he didnt want to go home

heavily influenced by moodymann and andres, new home taping artist simba produces music that is full of soulful echoes, while still dripping in raw house music vibes. quality house music for the believers out there. nothing is too straight in the simba sound as fx drift around and subtle production touches come at you from all angles. vinyl hiss is as important as the kick drum and the overall atmosphere has that classic house music quality that can transport you instantly to another place. the black madonna was the one who drew attention to the rising talents of this young producer. so fittingly she delivers her own lost in chicago take on the original, which delights in the tracks edginess and the wonderful release of the main hooks

killer release on joey andersons label

mary was first inspired by her love for lofi and electronica music, but also by the international deep & minimal house scene. in recent years, she developed her own style and produced her music from a unique blend. here she presents the hidden poetry ep 12inch vinyl of the debut album and was subsequently allowed by jamie robson aka magic panda make a beautiful remix of the track mountain lake. with chestnut tree and rocket boi you go through somewhere between a deep and trippy journey.bonus track is forest haze.

disruption and interference arent words you ordinarily associate with pop or dance music, but planningtorock is on a mission to unseat all norms. on her new album all loves legal, she leaves you in no doubt as to the seriousness of her vision of transnational gender equality. surprisingly, given that western dance music is born out of black, queer music, it rarely touches upon these themes, but all loves legal is a refreshingly direct statement of political intent

among many other things saralunden proves to be a dismal disco star! on this ep she sounds like a stripped down and darker counterpart of sally shapiro, presenting moody and sexy music which is in some ways similar to the italo influenced stuff chromatics is doing and with the same twisted erotic vibe of pulp. this is dirty disco and we like to dance to it.

well rounded are back with the second of our edits series...300 strictly ltd stamped white labels. vinyl only. no repress.

in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.

this is a special pre-release from the upcoming album by estroe called >comfort and closure<. this album will be released the 14th of november and we wanted to do something special to celebrate it. thats why estroe asked two producers who she admires a lot to make their interpretation of two tracks from the album, called >sustained illusion< and >ouf of my comfortzone<. both aril brikha and ray kajioka did an excellent job. we are excited about to launch the new estroe album and hope you enjoy this special release.

dessert islands 15th release comes courtesy of griffin and zej burton. delicious!

three tracks that nicely bend the rules of deep house and push bass lines into the abyss.

a very unique style... whim-ee, aka sara garcia is a french dj/producer. originally from recife, brazil she relocated to paris as a child where she began her journey into music via classical piano school for nine years. whim-ee later began experimenting with electronic music, injecting her own unique fusion of house, techno, jazz, funk, and soul.

daniel lopatin, sohn russicher us-einwanderer, hat sich als oneohtrix point never mit experimenteller elektronik einen namen als talentierter komponist erarbeitet. er veröffentlichte drei alben auf minilabels, arbeitete mit antony hegarty als sänger und mit animal collective als festivalhoster (atp) zusammen und schrieb neben brian reitzell die musik zu sofia coppolas jüngstem film *the bling ring*. lopatins musikalisches schaffen wird von kritikern mit einem zerbrochenem spiegel verglichen, in dem sich klänge aus der vergangenheit brechen. auch auf seinem warp-debüt *r plus seven* blinkt seine neigung zum experimentellen immer hervor, zeitgleich wagt er sich so nah wie nie zuvor an traditionelle songstrukturen heran, so dass die zehn neuen tracks zu gleichen teilen aufwühlerisch wie hypnotisch wirken.

clear soul forces is next to carry the burning flame for the city of detroit. discovered, championed, and mentored by royce da 5’9”, the four-man group rhymes like genetically enhanced street poets from the 70s who are here to remind us what album rap sounds like. the vision of e-fav, l.a.z., noveliss, and producer/emcee ilajide combines golden era, 21st century, backpack and sub-woofer hip-hop but never sounds dated, derivative, or awkwardly avant garde.
pressing on golden coloured double vinyl, download code included.

again we search into west coast skies to an artist reaching for them. to los angeles, to katie gately, still in the throes of academe we find her, playing at new pop forms. this here record in july bloom is a bold and exciting taster of what is in store, around the corner. six tracks of frightening ambition. a prime distillation in computer-music-pop. more alarming – this is her debut release, she has been making organised sound for just over a year.

la fleur is a dj in the ascendant. now a resident dj at watergate in berlin (and with a brand new ep for their label ready to drop - more on that in minute!) she has balanced her craft and her electronic music production with precision and flair: all of this is the result of hard work and a constant stream of quality gigs across the world. for the uninitiated, la fleur took her first forays into the studio in 2008, with her remix of david ekenbaecks nairu on trunkfunk records but it was her solo debut, the flowerhead ep, for her own power plant label, which really rocketed her into charts and record boxes worldwide.

female-power! for a long time we have waited for magit cacoon to get this ep together and now that it is finished, we cant wait to smack it into your face! all of the tracks are heart and floor certified, meaning that this release is perfect for any occasion. *deep cancion* is expertly suited for a classic house moment, timeless and beautiful - just like our magit. with *more than time* she is tightening the reins and the old pro ian pooley is holding them steady with his remix. this one will take you deeper. his remix will be published on vinyl as an exclusive edit. just for the friends of the black gold.

in on my way, a rich cultural heritage has been distilled into an upfront album of burning dance floor action, showing us why the bbe-crowned king of digging has for so long remained a formidable, worldwide musical icon.

while hexagon cloud may be erikas debut solo release, this is by no means her introduction to the scene. for years erika has been a member of ectomorph and co-conspirator of interdimensional transmissions, but since these projects play shadowy games with identity and perception, she may just need that introduction. limited edition, silk screen cover with foil sticker enclosed collectable! tip!

i am sure joe goddard needs no introduction, the co-founder of greco-roman and leading member of hot chip + one half of 2 bears releases this stunning 4 track ep. the title taking over is, as joe says: a reference to that moment when the music at a club starts to really hit you, when it forces you to focus on it and the night ahead. featuring collaborations with boris dlugosch and mara carlyle, taking over is an attempt to make synthesizers sound nice. the lead single from the ep is the step together which was premiered on the b traits (in for annie mac) on bbc r1 last friday. since that announcement step together has received more plays across the bbc networks. we have big plans radio wise for this track and we expect to see a lot more plays forthcoming across, bbc r1, 6 music, 1xtra, xfm and kiss fm.

once again, raphaël laredo slipped through the authorities fingers: he does not care about the rules anymore, he infringes the standards and delivers us an ep beyond the correct and required limits! the only indication, its address: the club -akasha-.
rafaël murillo is already there, armed with a bomb. despite everything, laredo is a believer, he knows all the good and the bad theories. he insists on involving us, from the top, on the traces of the plot -crop circles- supported by the strong foundations of his brother, gaffy. the tech house spirit of laredo glides between paris and barcelona. eloïse oddos totally seized it when she designed the amazing record sleeve of crop circles for seconde.
