the descent of man ep is the third and last part of a trilogy on vinyl dedicated to charles darwin studies. this final chapter is focused on the darkest side of electronic music and his impact on human psychology. as charles darwin studied the evolution of physical and mental traits, we want to show how obscure, trembling and aggressive sounds generate an increasing sense of agitation and loss while mild and gloomy atmospheres can relieve the body and brain, achieving a peaceful state of mind. dont be afraid to move into a shady space. this is not the end even if it could be.

prime numbers return with m7. the first side is taken by a remix of wireman’s >armour<, the original of which was included on pn04 released at the end of last year. the remix is from move d (deep space network, source records), he ups the tempo and in trademark fashion softens the surfaces of the original, warming the core of the track whilst creating a bass heavy groove with twisting beats, synths and a husky hypnotic vocal sample. the flip includes two tracks. to start we have >crushed< by actress. darren j. cunningham aka actress runs the much lauded werk records and this track is taken from his limited cd only album >hazyville< (released on werk in the autumn of last year ) >crushed< is slo-mo, extra bass heavy, low slung house with an addictive lofi synth riff and submerged strings. the track bumps along with hiss and crackle to good affect before turning into a badalamenti-esque loop to finish. to round things off be, the up & coming manchester based producer provides >when you left<. be cut his teeth with the chicago based still music and a great al hudson reedit which found extensive dj support on its release. >when you left< is a shuffling downbeat house groove with a jazz sentiment featuring deep rhodes keys and clipped drums, the track breaks up into a bluesy accapella section then builds up to a more direct 4/4 groove to the end

heres the 3-d release of the series united artists coming on strong with superb experienced techno producers italian simone de caro and ukrainian unitech, including of two additional remixes provided by such names as fabrizio pettorelli and josh bartoli.

for its 15 years old, qalomota rec. brings fresh blood into the family. fab_o is the new young producer who produced this excellent ep where you could taste his skills. old school house with groovy bass and voice on a side, you will be surprised on b side with these 2 others beautiful tracks. no need to speak or write about music just listen and feel it. house music for body and soul as usually on qalomota records!

eargasmic brings this stunning split 12 inch with real raw house! on the a-side chicago skyway brings two heart pounding tracks with i dont give a f*ck and run coward. the flipside introduces isoke to the game with the relief sounding, chicago rough sh*t and the heady bass heavy joint haunted.

coyu is back on noir music and this time stronger than ever. he serves up a double a-side with the haunting techno tune salvation and the lfo oldschool inspired future house.we fell in love with both tracks on the spot and are happy to have such a strong release by coyu on noir music. remixes will follow late summer.

nick lapiens debut release as metropolis garnered little attention when it materialized last year. a skeptical yet dedicated network of underground heads built up a subterranean buzz that has yet to spread into the daylight. that initial transmission was thick with the raw analogue flavors that have become ever-present in dance floor fare recently—but his is a sound that is dedicated to the emotive, narrative aspects of electronic music rather than simple fetishization or passing curiosity in the days of yore. this, his second release as metropolis, shows a more focused and patient hand at work. the titular track on the a side is a deep, psychedelic groover. melodies, textures and sequences undulate and intertwine within a lightless atmosphere guided by lapien with optimum restraint. equally pensive and gorgeous, the flood serves as a machine’s beat-less foil on the reverse. made up of little more than feedback and two slow, echo laden arpeggiated sequences, this is reminiscent of jean michel jarre’s more sinister moments: a brilliant paradox of economy and indulgence. expect to hear more from lapien here at sequencias. he has many more dark corners left unexplored.

max essa returns to is it balearic..? home to some of his more balearic moments most notably the epic panorama suite. the a side is dovodah! which begins with some nu-med atmospheres and acoustic guitar conjuring up 80s italian beach parties. the loose percussion and a heartfelt vocal (calling the unmistakable sound of dovodah!) carry you along before dropping into an early 90s italian progressive vibe. genuinely a real post sunset bomb.

no rest for the wicked, after launching oneoffs earlier this year and releasing our first ep with three fresh cuts from three talented producers we are back. each of the four cuts is a highlight in its own way, from the afro inspired house on size up with a superb herbie hancock tribute from crackazat on keyboards, to the slow and bass heavy techy i m the jack from will berridge on the a-side. the b-side starts off with jmxs thats the way, another exercise in dynamic house with punchy chord stabs, finishing things off is keumels feel-good disco surgery incisions roll california my way.

877 records join with longtime friends and collaborators to present the well rounded rebel alliance ep. klic and riskotheque lead the way with their track compton, a bass heavy anthem already rocking the clubs and doing damage on radio. stomping 808&#8242,,,,,s, sing along vocals and acid arpeggios join perfectly to form this instant classic. donga & blake more than do justice to the original with the compton give a dam jam remix. a perfect example of their sublimely considered approach, the reworking is an altogether deeper four to the floor roller using only finely selected elements from the original. well rounded in the house! next up is skeleton grin by donga & blake + richta. this original composition features vocals by donga over an intense and metallic techno-esque bass and kick. we are true believers in the power of a b-side and this is no exception.

character is techno as you can expect it from deetron: deep but uplifting, refined but powerful. the b side drives on a catchy vocal and goes more toward the (deep) house spectrum, but with a punchy kick to keep that dancefloor going. swiss funk!

crossing classic alleys with the eintakt 28 – another various artists compilation offering a warm summerblend of well grown techno/ house/ dub plants and vegetables. starting off with >>achim maerz<< and a harmonic drifter with just that tiny acid touch it needs here. then mr. >>dub taylor<< takes over with a wooden dancefloor spoon cooking up a decent mixture for the massive floor.on the b-side >>idealist<< reduces it to the max with the well known hits and drum bits and so fulfils his past future classic promise once more.fading out with >>pawas<< and his slight jazzy cold dubb (which is not so cold at all) and being aware it’s another proper piece in the eintakt puzzle

teona will lead the third and penultimate stallions gallop along with home bosconi records. starting from dry scream by alex picone, a forest full of warm sounds and rough that only analogue instruments and a tape recording can give. follows, always on side a, quanto tempo ci rimane a track of the mysterious matrix nightdrivers edited in terms of house by label boss fabio corcos. the vinyl rotates, thoroughbred gallop in the b side, where they find themselves in a syncopated bassline with dirty vibes of i.f.ms, aka marcello napoletano and fran mela, and a broken rhythm and essential characterized by a hypnotic groove that aims at creating an atmosphere featuring in dark clouds, produced by young people from home bosconi, herva and marco daquino aka lifes track.

here lies the final chapter in the first testament of shocks, and as with the previous three releases, were granted no mercy. a-side tracks trajl and contagious are a full fledged assaults on the psyche, taunting with just enough melody to convince us of musicality, but never really rising from of the swamp theyre stewed in.the b side closer klamata could be seen as a comedown, but after a short while you realize that youve been led only deeper, left in a state of total disarray.

its a french and dutch invasion coming up next on supplement facts as parisian julien chaptal and amsterdams lauhaus deliver jujuman featuring a remix from french house royalty franck roger. jujuman is a midsummer nights dream of percussive grooves and hints of the wilderness. francks remix adds inflections of psychedelia and a dose of wiggly acid while b-side watching you is pure heads down hypnotic rolling.

for its 2nd 4 track v/a ep foto welcomes more new artists to the roster in the form of andy hart & max graef (au), mermaids (uk), and riff clichard (outer space). label boss ooft! also contributes a track on the a-side, with the wallowing jareths revenge blending strings, samples, bass and more into a 110bpm roller. next up the aussie dudes andy hart & max graef craft a funking slow house jam in the shape of dem young jabronis, all warm chords and bumping beats. over on the flip mermaids show why theyre some serious contenders for a big breakthrough this year run with the night shifts through the gears for 5 minutes before breaking into downright euphoric territory. rounding things off the mysterious riff clichard takes some time out from polishing his intergalactic jensen interceptor to chop up some 80s beats to give us through with love.

ms. smooth socal soul meets mr. nocal dirtybird swagger and they have a baby together. that baby is justin jay and at 19 years old he is already making his 3rd appearance on dirtybird. i have a feeling this is justin jays breakout record. the a-side static is at 119 bpm and will sweep you up then rip your pants off. but even when you get hit with the massive bassline, an old school anchor stays intact. waves b-side has a classic deep dirtybird feeling, with tuned 808s and a surprising melodic element showing off the sweeter side of this up and coming young gun. justin jay has more potential than anyone i have heard in a while and if he continues to play like he has been lately, he has a long dj career ahead of him as well.

ltd 2013 repress !!
illusion recordings is bringing an absolute stomper from the appropriately titled ny stomp with a track called >the ny house track<. a massive track inspired by new york, jersey house music and designed to get every party rocking! ny stomp is a special project by gerd (clone/4lux) who made this track to add to his live set with no intention to release it. it was just a cut made for his live sets and done as an hommage to the early days of ny and nj house. however after playing this at a party from the illusion guys in leeds he got tortured by the guys to make him release it... and lets be honest... it would have been a shame if these cuts never made it to vinyl! one the flip side a slightly more introvert track calles >can you feel it<. on remix duty its nicholas and dj aakmael both doing an excellent job by smoothening things up and take things a bit deeper. proper house music!
