together melbourne pair amin payne and sean deans form apsd, and they debut in quite impressive form with this digital dust album for hot shot sounds. inkswel and benny badge s label has developed into the prime source for what they call -drum machine soul music- and apsd are a perfect fit. some 11 tracks deep, digital dust features contributions from the voice of fat freddy s drop himself, joe dukie, as well as miles bonny, cazeaux oslo, silent jay and more. yet it s deans and payne s innate mastery of a glistening brand of funk across various tempos which shines through on this album.

he -shaker plates label is returning with the 6th release of their sub label rüttelplatten”. the spanish producers eddy romero & inaki cerqueira are trying to catch people on the dancefloor as well as the regular listeners of modern electronic dance music. with -primera- and -bass- the young label is moving ahead with two deep tech house smashers for all sound systems. label owner gunman did the remix for -primera- and sascha wallus from hannover contributed his interpretation for -bass-. but these guys are just a part of the rüttelplatten” family, with some other members already awaiting their turn to shine.

welcome to the rocksteady sound from jamaica. towards the end of 1965 some say due to the extreme heatwave that was hitting the island the people that followed the sound system dances demanded a slower beat so they could still move and groove to the all night musical night affairs. so the jerky ska swing was slowed down to a steady beat that also allowed the songs cut at this time to shine throgh. so sit back and enjoy the tunes that rocked this islands between 1966-1968 the rocksteady sound that hit that town..

we keep things rolling right along on kolour ltd 10’s with a bit of a special one for us for volume 3.
ever since we heard never gonna leave you from leipzig boys m.ono & luvless - it was an instant classic. originally released on o*rs on 2012, and with the kind help of label owner filburt, we’re thrilled to be able to give this timeless tune a second platform in 2016 to shine once again.
on the flip, the boys come correct once again with losing memory - a fresh new joint that was again, love at first listen for us.

resplendent in its simplicity, forever is the sound of emika boiled down to her steely essence. gated vocal snippets and haunting synth arpeggios give a nod to early-90s proto-trance, the arps filtering in and out of focus in tense fashion before unfolding into a dreamy melodic progression ‘never’ treads similar ground but takes a more direct approach, the tension building consistently in layers as more arpeggiated synths gently modulate in hypnotic fashion shimmering, icy sounds create a haunting, slow-burning atmosphere before the rhythm switches up for the latter half of the track, layers of gated white noise further punctuating the groove. emika deftly utilises each element for maximum effect, allowing each to breathe and shine by way of slick production and clever arrangement.

* the time has come for scar to broaden its horizons. as a production duo survival & script initially made a name for themselves by supplying rugged dancefloor workouts but there is a much larger story to tell here and with the orkyd project album this story will be told. * production collaborations have been kept to an absolute minimum aside from vocal features, naomi pryor is the ever present voice of the album with further contributions from eleanor higgins and ray uptown. * the influences for the orkyd project shine a further light on the story, from bill withers to massive attack via eric b and rakim. * when initial conversations took place between goldie and scar regarding the album goldie gave the guys full license to create whatever they wanted and what we have been given is a melting pot of 2016 london music. soul exists beside screw face. * it s important to note that drum n bass hasn t been abandoned by any means, the hall marks of scar are ever present and correct- the blue print has just been expanded upon

wade from hello records called mr. pc “detroit’s hardest working dj” about a year back, and the fruits of his labor shine through on this curious beatdown and jazz funk re-edit record. in his own words, “the scene doesn’t need another hand-stamped and numbered vinyl-only disco edit label, so i went ahead and took the proverbial razor and tape to some jazz-fusion-disco-not-disco tracks that influenced me coming up as a bass player, now fully capable for dj dance floor elevation.”

volume 2 pools more of demi s extensive network of friends and is truly a heavyweight mix of reworks that each shine in their own light. leading the charge is a masterful re-intepretation by one of the scene s truest artists in eric volta who came to be known to the masses thanks to his club smash hit love your illusion on no.19 records. volta completely flips fresh & made on its head with a sonic exploration that is typically understated yet full of tension. the mix glides through a range of emotions and helps expose pagues vocals in a new light and demonstrates once more the studio prowess this man has when he is given free reign to manifest his mind onto the mixing desk.

‘synth wave volume 1’ is the flagship vinyl compilation album of some of the world’s freshest innovative electronic music. electro, synth pop, electro pop, darkwave... collectively we call it synth wave.

songs without words, suggestive and emotional transparency and connection, contemplation and departure, meditation and attack: this music fascinates from the very beginning. it has no need to boast or become talkative, but stays true to itself as it casually develops its poignant pulse and lets it grow, and grow. the web of sounds soon begins to radiate from within, it inspires images in ones head, and invites to musing and introspection. against the background of a wide horizon the details of their music join, develop a life of their own, and lift off to collective flights of ideas. this music is an invitation to listen without prejudice, offering a way to get lost in dreams while, at the same time, remaining solidly grounded and completely awake.

the next release on lag is from bay area to berlin transplant jamaica suk. the kontort ep (lag006) is another 3 cut record with all original music. the title track kontort is a composition with the big room in mind with thunderous kicks and bass with intricate panning and dub inflections. holographic is a another big room techno workout with a deliciously infectious piano line which allows the producers personality to shine through. depth between waves is a dub techno roller. this track shows restraint till the break then re-emerges with a synth sound that pushes the groove forward in a simple yet undeniable manner.

it s fair to say that boris bunnik has made an impact in his short career. in less than a decade this dutch man, under monikers like conforce and versalife, has scaled electro and techno with subtle ambient touches and idm echoes. and that s exactly what he s doing for the singularity ep. lush pads and flowing bars punctuated by crisp percussion, -shine eye- sets the scene. -autobots- adopts those same brittle beats, this time using them to send dreaming strings skyward. northern winds swirl around the colder chords of -milnet-, chords that dawn into absorbing swirls of -transgenics.- masterful machine music.

with our regular 12” series both coming to end some people thought that wph would end as well. you should’ve known better, because there is too much gorgeous music coming from our small wph family to just let other labels shine with it. and so we have decided to throw caution into the wind and embark on a new story. a story in which our artists get to tell their story by means of a full album. at the heart of metrobox’ sound is a love for moog, 909 and sh 101 sounds, combined with a knack for seductive melodies and a healthy dose of vocal action. two collaborations with wph head honcho red d and belgian mc champ tlp add some extra oldskool flavor to the proceedings. and yes, we are well aware of the fact that double or triple albums are heavy on your budget and that you all prefer to shell out 15 euro for a one-sided limited detroit release instead of a 12” with three tracks you like ... so this album will come in three separately available 12”s, giving you complete buyer freedom.

following the recent acclaimed release of his “space” lp, on which bruno “patchworks” hovart transformed himself into patchworks galactic project for a fantastic musical trip, favorite recordings proudly presents this new 2 tracks remix ep. on the a side, rising uk producer ny*ak provides a blowing version of “surrounded by the gobblins”. what do the letters stand for? why the asterisk?” you ask. the origin of the asterisk has something to do with donating dates of birth on family trees, from back in the medieval times. in music, an asterisk denotes when a sustain pedal should be lifted. ny – new york? ak – alaska? is it something to do with the three stooges? nyak nyak nyak… it leaves the mind thirsty for answers... in reality andrew scott, the man behind ny*ak, banged his computer keyboard in frustration one day – and out came ny*ak. if that’s taken the shine off it a little, we’re not worried. listen to any of andrews tracks and we guarantee you’ll be drawn straight back in, but this time – deeper. for the b side, underground house producer kool vibe also delivers a brilliant rendition of “gobblins are gone”. producer & owner of kv records (paris), record collector since 1993, and definitely part of the new deep house music scene that is emerging from france at the moment, laurent, aka kool vibe, was born in paris in 1970. kool vibe s music reflects the best of the 90s house music sound that he manages to love so much. in 2011 and 2012, his first releases have been cult tracks out on “my love is underground” and “traxx underground” imprints.

cute heels screamed onto the scene with his debut album on dark entries. the colombian s blend of ebm and minimal synth with driving rhythms electrified interest with juan atkins describing him as -the new blood and spirit for the next step in techno music.- tough words to live up to, but this talented artist has done atkins proud with his excellent five tracker, nepotism ep. measured and thoughtful the ep is packed with eclipsed wave and bold beats. future classics shine from the drop. -nepotism structure-, with its blackened chords and stark chords, is brimming with a primal energy. -madame counsellor- ups the tempo, adding some extra squalor with wretched 303 writhe. cute heels refuses to sit in one genre, electro coming to a head in the shimmering mechanics of -cabaret literal.- -the pulse (sex drive)- closes in a seedy blur of neon lights and showing synthlines. bleak and bold brilliance from bogota.

grammy award wining producer, mr. porter, joins forces with fatbeats to release *the great depression a.p.*, his first commercially released instrumental album, containing 17 rare musical gems created during the years 2006-2008. this period represents the passage of dark depression, emotional isolation, and self imposed exile (after proof) of porter. the music created throughout this time span is the sound of mr. porter spiraling into himself and away from social interaction, devoid of self love, the elements contained are the vibrations of his loss. *t.g.d a.p.* is a unique collection of songs produced during this momentous period and previously shared only with marvwon and royce da 5 9.
coming off the acclaimed *porter chops glasper*, a classic re-imagined instrumental ep inspired by works of the great robert glasper, *t.g.d a.p.* holds steadfast to the outside-the-box creations, infused with infectious, signature drums that mr. porter is often praised for. healthy, happy and hopeful, mr. porter is determined to embrace the love received from fans and has released this most intimate sharing of a very personal collection.

michigan native dj soko is part of a long line of great technical djs, musical innovators, curators and those who broke key artists and introduced acts that forever changed the landscape of the music scene. sokos ear and ability to put emcees in position for them to shine over the perfect production is never more evident than it is on his debut project released on his imprint left of center. dj soko uses his years coming up in the detroit scene, his experiences djing in his current home (the planet of brooklyn, ny) then blends both of those worlds together seamlessly. the end result is a gritty, boom bap rap album that is equally as soulful and introspective as it is rooted in a blue collar lyrical hip-hop aesthetic. *domino effect* is ultimately brought together by sokos deft cuts and scratches which elevate each composition and make them resonate with listeners even further.
