next eklektisch anthem. edu imbernon & los suruba pres number 5. punset sees the trio in full-on-goosepimple-enducing mood. each copy of the record should include the instructions - one to be taken, at sunset or sunrise for heightened effect. the boys have encapsulated the finest of balearic moods and brought them to the dancefloor once again. the deep throb of the progressive bassline, whilst allowing the track to breathe, has enough power to drive the track. the fluid sounds in the breaks, together with its simple piano riff and bell chimes, bring us down before the synth melody and weighty bass shoot us to the stratosphere on a wave of smiles... on remix duty is none other than hamburgs finest and diynamic music head honcho, solomun. turning punset on its head, yet maintaining its epic feel, the german produce

a true master of the deeper arts, phonique has, since his first steps into the world of production back in the early 2000s, become synonymous with and eulogised for his beautifully cultured productions. labels such as simple, buzzin fly, souvenir and of course systematic have all played host to his music, but it s his work for steve bugs dessous imprint for which he is most renowned. first up is phoniques solo production, >2 my jungle< which sees him step into jacking tech-house territory. lovely open hi-hats are paired with the punch of the kick drum. a trumpet riff enters the fray, backed by the grooving throb of the bassline. its vocal samples are twisted and filtered throughout as phonique creates a wonderfully trippy summer anthem. on the flip he teams up with desolat badboy, guti. still riding high on the wave of support for his fantastic debut album >patio de juegos<, the argentinian producer phonique show just how much fun they can have in their electronic playground. beautifully deep and with a lush rhodes melody, >divertimento< entices us with its sultry summer vibes. a polar opposite, yet complete match to the a-side

moody melodic synth patterns, stripped back electronic percussion and haunting hypnotic vocals. may i present the latest masterpiece from reuben tobias: portraits ep. a finely balanced deep underground pop release that will no doubt hold the attention of such names as troxler and jamie jones. the structure, complex enough to hold interest but simple enough to maintain elegance, takes you on a journey through the mind of reuben tobias as you listen attentively to every word of the self expressive lyrics. the b side lead, marran, shares very much the similar characteristics as portraits. minus the lyrics, marran uses subtly layered electronic synths and the comforting sound of young children playing outside to suck you down into a place of complete concentration. your focus becomes stuck in fascination for the sounds guiding you through the duration of the track right to the last second. a brilliant ep. not one for the clubs but certainly one for the collection.

seiji – the much-lauded and respected producer from west london – returns with the penultimate part of his 2010-launched seiji series. having successfully explored a career path thats established him as a founding member of broken beat originators bugz in the attic, a key artist for the seminal jungle/d n b label reinforced, a downbeat solo artist for sonar kollectiv and a producer and co-writer for the brilliant roisin murphy, in 2011 seiji is a man focused squarely on the dancefloor. the seiji series is just one part of that with seiji stripping things right back, identifying each release with a simple number and putting all his energy into creating music that he truly believes in. a merging of sounds and influences that have always been with him, but have never sounded so right – encapsulating everything thats exciting about the underground uk scene at the moment. as with the previous two releases, seiji 4 is a double a-side focusing on the current uk house sound, a bit soulful, a bit funky a bit jacking, with two solid heavy grooves that are going to work on any house dance floor. no other has a really soulful vocal sample, a rolling reese bass riff and percussive uk house beats. easy is more of an infectious skippy house groove with a chunky bass hook and deep techno pads

what hypercolour does best is to consistently release forward-thinking and interesting electronic music so its fitting that the label celebrates its 20th full hypercolour release and 5th anniversary with a simple 12 inch ep that displays the labels exciting and irreverent take on house and techno

savor musics second 12 inch release follows a rockin record by papol and ekkohaus. we are proud to present today some raw future classics that will quite simply tear the floor into pieces. lucas mari is a hard to catch butterfly that spreads his subtle wings on few carefully selected projects. a resident of the city of rosario in argentina, lucas mari appeared occasionally on the very fine argentine label greener, german imprint stock 5 and on us labels adjunct and airdrop. in true early 90s chicago fashion, the two original cuts feature some serious drum machine action, building a sturdy way to allow for some exquisite chord relief to flourish. gez varley, absolutely stunned by listening to the originals, decided to contribute to the release with a simple and hypnotic remix that only he, the one and only g-man has the recipe for.

following the soothing >landscapes of the future< compilation, featuring selected ambient works by argentinas finest (jonas kopp, gustavo lamas, leonel castillo…) greener records is proud to present its first split ep, with label boss andres zacco and brother in soul franco cinelli. the greener 12 inch releases come out on vinyl only, for the simple reason that they are specically made for djs, and this is exactly what this record is about.

this is retrometros first vinyl outing and its worth the wait. the four tracks of sweet soul music from sailor moon take you right back to that time when a bassline could bring a tear to your eye, and a one-note synth line could make your heart burst with joy. simple, raw and emotionally-charged, this ep is as much a love letter to r&s and great, almost forgotten european artists artists like frank de wulf, as it is to the chicago legends like phuture and steve poindexter. thats some deep grooves

supported by richie hawtin, monika kruse, mihalis safras, kombinat100 and many more ....crunchy beats and bouncy basses – no doubt, this is electronic dance music. but the extensive way in which classical instruments are deployed on acker number 23 cant be described as a simple sampling play any more. rather a fiery mixture of rhythmic electronic thrust and the thrilling atmosphere of handmade music is created. >solo para mi< is based on a functional yet driving groove on which a wind player arrangement unfolds, progressively escalating to ever new atmospheric peaks. mollono.bass takes up the summery-warm tone colours of the original in his remix but keeps it a little more dreamy and subliminal. >bulgarian chicks< is stronger orientated towards the electronic elements but still also here there are instrumental and vocal entries which lend to this title a very unconventional gipsy style. finally another remix on >solo para mi< by eule:nhaupt and molle:nhauer puts emphasis on the song-orientated components of the original, taking its hybrid character even further. supported by gorge, douglas greed, luciano, mihalis safras, the glitz, kombinat100 and many more

on this release we have two goddesses of drum & bass, the queens of the jungle ... diane charlemagne (goldie >inner city life< / high contrast - >if we ever<) and ladyroller (ez rollers >tough at the top / walk this land<) and what an honour to have worked with them both. still as much talent now as back in the day.
here we present to you 2x 140bpm straight up bass bangers ... simple as that. you know the protocol, turn it up load and keep it rolling till the morning...

disco nihilist is a rather special project. firmly rooted in the us-american electronic music traditions, mike taylors records on love what you feel or construction paper roam the grey are between chicagos jack urgency, detroits funky machine soul and the raw magic of vintage drum machines. his style is natural, murky, filthy and raw to the core. the six track ep >running (far away)< for running back is an exercise in grinding beats, squelching acid lines, graceful pianos and heartfelt rhythms without any paralyzing retro romance. it is what it is. get a piece of the real bread

shocks is a project by northern italian dj/producer wanmhope with his occasional partner-in-crime max dolphy. while fundamentally simple in approach, the dynamic maintains a deceivingly complex harmony and disharmony rendering a visceral, sometimes violent listening experience. waves of feedback, distortion, frantic guitar noodling, vocal collage and field recordings soar like an ominous cloud over primitive, hedonistic rhythms. this, the first of two shocks vinlys preceding the full-length, sets the tone, serving as your marinade before youre thrown to the lions

deep space orchestra have been carving out a very nice name for themselves over the past year, and alongside the likes of cottam and krl it&#700,,,s safe to say that they are helping to establish an exciting new movement of raw, detroit-inspired house. the diy approach is very much a part of their ethic, as is the underground feel and aesthetic which imbues their own use of weapons label as well as their recent releases on similarly minded vinyl-orientated labels such as foto and kirk degiorgio&#700,,,s legendary art. the release we have here is perhaps their most refined music yet, showing a development in their production level on two tracks which are brimming with a warmth and fatness whilst retaining that critical raw edge which only a handful of the most exacting producers seem capable of. lo pan builds around a fat, bouncing bass line and a brilliantly lilting groove created by straight 808 hats and shuffling shakers. the feel keeps shifting throughout the song, sometimes superswung, sometimes straight and driving, all the while simple detroit strings build and analogue arps are layered up building the tension in the arrangemen

in january 2011 mark was invited by erik wiegand (aka errorsmith) to make some presets for his new software synthesizer which he was building for native instruments. after developing about 40 sounds*, mark decided to rework his ul8 project by extending the pattern generating systems used in its construction, which he then connected to the sounds produced in erik s synthesizer. the result is this double 12 single, featuring 9 tracks and a remix from mark s friend and colleague mat steel.

in the impressive flow of new talent in 2011 on fokuz recordings we already had the pleasure to present the sound of brother, command strange and intelligent manners among others. the next flavour of the funky liquid melting pot called fokuz recordings goes by the name donnie dubson. berlin based irishman donnie o sullivan aka donnie dubson started releasing his funky rollers on have a break and influenza media and already featured on fokuz on the chronicles of the deep lp together with stunna back in 2007. the grapefruit / battlecat release on influenza media in 2009 got him a lot of attention and is still heard in dj sets today. now its 2011 and fokuz presents the beautiful debut album of donnie dubson! his sound can be described as refreshing and original liquid drum n bass with a touch of the well known atmospheric drum n bass vibes from the mid 0s. his basslines are the unique sellingpoint as well as his ability to create an organic feel in the music thats only done by the few who truly understand what liquid drum n bass is all about. pleasuring both critical listeners and the dancefloor audience this album is a perfect overview of the sound fokuz stands for. a great example of how music can be time-less in this decade of fast moving consumer goods.

italian techno heavyweights markantonio and rino cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is junction hands. revolution is back is the first full release under the junction hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent the napoli connection ep on adam beyers drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet. the title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but its the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive. the equally hypnotic and driving thing for hands follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of noise while the groove relentlessly works its magic. with junction hands theres yet another must-check name coming out of the neapolitan scene.

2nd release of african calling which mule musiq focus the south african deep house scene. the brightest hope of south african deep house scene “infected soul” got two african tech house tracks. on a side, >ritual instict< is simple but effective track.if you like the production of argy or dennis ferrer,you will like this song. on b side, >monday rain< is more organic and african taste which remind culoe de song or mr raoul k.

so it was a massive pleasure that maya chose 2020vision for her next full single release. when we discussed the project with her we agreed it was vital to put together a single that truly reflected her diverse tastes and skills. the title track >focus now< is a unique work that will be hard to even categorise. reminiscent of early matthew jonson records >focus now< features delicate synth sequences weaving in and out of intricate rhythms. it sounds amazing on big systems, like at fabric, where it was road tested by ralph lawson at the recent 2020vision party. it is one to drop at the right time to make a real change in mood and set direction. we then have >little one< which is a solid deep house groove, simple but effective. vocal snippets are added by mjc herself on both tracks but her true vocal talents are shown on >senseless<...

when we heard pompeya for the first time and were told they were from moscow, we were like: - what!? are you kidding? this is probably the first russian band singing in english with such a classy brit touch and male vocal being very strong and sophisticated at the same time. they jestingly describe their style as >melodramatic popular song< and >cheenese< is indeed a very dramatic piece with simple yet powerful composition and lyrics that really make big sense. the original is very well supported by a bunch of remixes each of which is unique on its own. an-2 & samos come with a warm, relaxed and funky instrumental version which is followed by a blockbuster mix from moscow disquo maestro leonid lipelis (an entirely perfect dance version of the original that could ever exist) and finally, for those few sirs and mesdames who are not yet aesthetically satisfied and who still find themselves seated while others jump and shout, here come d-pulse with their paranoid mix that gathers the thunderclouds to the full darkness and - at the end - lets the revival sunbeams break through.

this ep is a therapeutic and soothing trip into sexy and gentle atmospherics, plenty of organic melodies and deep, very deep dancefloor funk. >the unexplored land of love< feels like the opening soundtrack to an imaginary documentary on infatuation. the kind you experience when loosing yourself on the dancefloor, exchanging glances with unknown people yet feeling united in the dance. >thymus stimulator< takes you further in a funkier realm full of sweet electronics and hip swaying basslines. instant deep groover! the flipside opens with >feel< a very simple title that tells you quite simply to feel the intensity and magic of those rare moments on the floor when unity and love is what this is all about. finally >light is here< takes the ep back to dreamy atmospherics and beautiful soundscapes, all layered on sweet melodies and gently grooving rhythms. close your eyes and feel the love on this one!

korablove is ready for his debut on apl. >splash forward< is not only a track but a new concept. at the beginning everything sounds like a classical deep, simple and muffled step, some chords. then something happens, something special. we all know how the structures are rigid, 4/4 that hardly can match with a breaking, the influences of a genre rather than a way of expressing, dressing, living. splash forward is a new way of seeing things, like if the wall of differences falls down suddently, like if years of clubbing and fight for a new space disappear into thin air. a deep track that transforms into a thriller.

surprise guest from russia, vakula, hops by with a forgotten collection of tunes that almost meant to be for archipels new release. after compiling, what he describes as, some of his deepest tunes, vakula launches a spatial mental trip with 5 tracks that screams deepness. certainly inspired by detroits movement, people like theo parrish or moodymann, this ep touches shorts excursions of bright, simple melodies layered over lush percussive textures that swirl gently to put the listener in a awaken meditative state.
