damien lynch enjoys countryside a drive in the twilight hour. this is his second offering for the esp institute. on side a, brunette opens with a straight-ahead techno thump of hi-hats and a pulsating 16th-note bassline—a subtle playing field composed solely with a rare 1970’s italian machine, the godwin drummaker 32, unearthed from the secret back room of a music shop in rural ireland where it hid among wonderful vintage russian synths and oddball electronics. this elegant track drips with warm and phasing pads, gentle staccato keys and beautifully simple arpeggios that blur every now and then—all affirming damien’s less-is-more ideology. with side b’s forced relax, damien continues to exercise his restraint, arranging his instruments in a band-like fashion, affording each player the sonic space to project their individual qualities whilst supporting an overall dialogue. there is a soft ebb and flow to every machine’s role, whether the swelling of bass or the interplay of percussive keys, but when these characters arrive in one place, the result is a tranquil euphoria. these two songs will accept you for who you truly are.

nice price deal !!! the development of the docile sound has evolved at its own pace over time. the assembly of sound is an intuitive process, and the acceptance of errors is a vital part of the docile working method. docile is a labor of love that takes a stand against mass produced music that an artist is well removed from. docile has a hands-on dedication to every part of the vinyl process to ensure what you get is a legitimate effort. team docile are craftsmen that use their collective skills to produce vinyl with a unique quality and sense of style. the over all sound of docile #20 can be described as soulfully dark, immature, and lovesick amid a funky party atmosphere. the personalities of each track nudge you to its direction with simple grooves that tell stories that are felt without words. these are tracks of moving detroit minimal that stutter, break and turn with a basic efficiency. tracks that share a dark irony in root, but somehow glitch towards a positive. docile looks inward for inspiration and describes its self in this revolving time and place.

andrzej nowak is a polish early computer music composer who never found proper place in official contemporary music world. tracks produced between 1987 and 1994 as a score for never screened animation movies (the producer didn’t like them). lines of simple sounds, interrupted by primitive electronic trumpet and other fake instruments. are you sure it’s a film score? what was the thing that producer didn’t like? weird harmonies or too much rhythm?

the second of this year’s smd singles on their own delicacies label is features another two original tracks, leading with the hypnotic, late night techno loping of “remember in reverse”, drenched in glistening synths. the second track, “soft attack” takes a much more direct approach, with a brash battering of crash cymbals on every 4th bar marking time as a sinuous synth melody curls around the rhythmatic trunk. “soft attack (drum version)” pares it down even further, excising the melody for a minimal dj tool. also included here is a remix of ‘remember in reverse” from 90s mid west techno legend, dj hyperactive, who we’re super excited to have on this release. he extensive 11 minute rework transforms the track, sprinkling it with subtle doses of acid. after a short hiatus following their modular-only, desert recorded last album “whorl”, during which smd s james ford found himself on production duties for everyone and their dog, smd are back with bunch of techno cuts on their own delicacies label. over a couple of months in jas shaw s newly re-located synth-dense studio in leafy kent, which saw smd once again experiment with live jams as the basis for their production, they’ve pulled together a selection of eight tracks for release as a series of four singles over the coming months. smd fans will note that the earlier naming convention of delicacies has fallen by the wayside – for the simple reason that we’ve pretty much run out of weird and wonderful food stuffs to steal names from. instead, a semi-random automated process has been used to create the track names.

four new loose and beautiful metropolitan house grooves from prolific nyc producer j albert aka jio albert whose mantra (as always) is to keep it simple, and of course, keep it strictly j! in addition to the grime beats he’s been releasing on soundcloud under the dj osom alias, jio has also explored other genres with a recent black opal release and a 12inch on his own exotic dance records imprint. strictly j, though is his scruffy take classic house on zones more into the hot music-soho vibes. characterized by busy percussion, off-kilter downtown beats, stops and starts, scattered breaks, and weirdly breezy melodies, these tracks are roomy def down for the summer. interestingly enough, i was subletting jios room last summer in ridgewood, queens and was sitting next to him as he made some of these tracks while i worked my tech support job. he was listening to a lot of buddy rich, bill evans, and jeremy steig at the time.

a year after his debut album viaggi, amsterdam based italian marco antonio spaventi is back with another fine full length statement. entitled -isola sommersa and landing on m>o>s recordings, it follows up after many great eps on the label over the last five years. spaventi has a passion for old school house but always brings it up to date. using hardware tools like a natural extension of his body, he cooks up rugged grooves, nostalgic moods and smoky atmospheres that cocoon you in sound of its own. as well as releasing on other labels like slow motion, secretsundaze, pizzico records and cos mos, he is also an acclaimed production wizard and runs his own professional studio.

following up on his exceptional 12&#8243,,,, debut numb (figure 73) earlier this year, seatoc mass delivers another ep of finely tuned and highly diversified techno deep space explorations. starting on an atmospheric note, cipher’s intricate melody winchingly twists its way under your skin while airy breakbeats faintly hint at the producer’s uk roots. in contrasting fashion the bleep- driven lost lakes sticks to its metronomic stomp, making for a simple yet utterly effective tool. choral howls and detuned synths merge on transform for a gentle yet trance-inducing introduction to the flipside. emotive highlight rain then sees the manchester producer sonically recreate a thundering storm, complete with flashing strokes of lightning and a downpour of celestial scale. the breakbeat returns on closer flying buttress, albeit now at much faster tempo, exploring the common ground between futuristic grime and techno. blending all these different styles and their distinctive tropes in a coherent statement is a feat not easily accomplished. yet here seatoc mass pulls it off again, developing further the confines of both his personal and the label’s sound.

nice price deal !!! for the first time chicago artists traxx & josh werner come together as jm strap and they are responsible for the a side of this record. we proudly present >the owl in daylight<, an amazing track that brings back the chicago jakbeat sound with an incredible bassline that seems alive, weaving all around the song to take it to the next level with a simple but intriguing dark pad and brilliant solid drums. on the flip we have >play error< by juanpablo. this madrid based artist is responsible for the frigio label and his track composed on the phrygian scale. the result is a dark and rythmic tune with a sweet melody and background voices. like the other tunes on this record >mute city< by lektoluxe remains at the underground level with galactic melodic synths and a fat deep bass that switches to acid tones at points.

lovers rock recordings celebrates its tenth release with another lush compilation featuring tracks by three core members of the lr family and newcomer gunnar haslam. opener “vacation” by ital sees the label boss crafting a supple dj weapon out of a lysergic sonic ecosystem. the rapidly-maturing dj wey returns to the fold under his dj python alias with “amazonia,” an ambient bomb that allows a deceptively simple hook to lilt across a thumping reggaeton rhythm. gunnar haslam makes his lr debut with “vector no campo,” blending modular acid and perfectly crunched electro drums. finally sleeper cell close out with the shimmering, haunting “v.” the first lr release of 2016, lr no.10 exemplifies the label’s ethos and sound while pointing to the future, with eps by ital & halal, yoshinori hayashi and others slated for later in the year.

ovum welcomes leftbank records co-boss dudley strangeways: a uk house and techno dj rooted with serious residency stripes at the legendary back to the future parties and appearances at the likes of boiler room. hot off the back of releases on stardub, little helpers and made of concrete comes his ovum debut, three tracks made constructed for one sole purpose… melting minds in the darkest of rooms. keep it clean is twistedly simple, a rump-busting roll in the drum department and paranormal pad leave space for a precision tuned tone that warps with the gravitas of a life support machine. sinewy, cold and deliciously disconcerting, dudley ensures funk and focus with delicately placed rhythmic elements and constant fluctuations. next we find ourselves breaking into an early 90s warehouse as transition whisks us on an acid trip with flurries of jack and a lean lead line that slithers through the ever-mutating drums and occasional fx hailstorms. devilishly futuristic and tailored for those deep long blends, the stripped back extensive nature of this guarantees mixing bliss. truly, tracks built by a dj, for djs. don t let this one slip…

earlier this year, dekmantel announced the signing of robert hood for a new project titled paradygm shift. over the course of three different eps, which will eventually evolve into an album, the detroit but now alabama based legend presents paradygm shift. hood: -the idea behind paradygm shift is similar to a shift in our focus. we can become so complacent, we are so comfortable with our surroundings, i think this is the time for electronic music to find a new mindset volume ii serves up two more killer techno floor bombs by the never disappointing originator. master jack is a classy and deadly effective cut that gets its strength from a simple, yet biting stack of funky chords, while pulsating bass lines and rattling hats are holding it together. more fast-paced action can be found on magnet,a no-nonsense, minimalist stomper you can store in your peak-time section. refined techno action times two, but what did you expect?

new emmanuel top label. lost in berlin is a mechanical angry monster with multiple arms that swings around for destruction. it’s unstoppable for words, you have to accept the fact that you have been hit by a concrete wall. what i love in records is the menace inside it that builds up. the impossible energy that drags you in to this tunnel of a white dimension with grey electric colors. bipolaire: it all starts with a kick, not a simple kick but a et kick and before you know it you are struck by lightning. the subs are playing with you, simple but again with atomic temperature. the acid sound that hits you is never going to surrender his inferior temper. capture: only that words remind me of the spirit capture and it’s not easy make an equivalent of the original that is not even made with the inspiration of the mod wheel. it’s not just a wicked intro that can take you to different roads. you can decide what way you will take but be careful with what comes next.

keith tenniswood returns in 2016 with dub vault vol. 2, the second emission of dubwise productions under his radioactive man moniker, originally recorded a decade ago while based in scrutton street studios. a long time fan of roots, reggae and dub here he fully indulges in the genre whose keystone bass weighted sounds have informed the electro-focused designs he is predominantly known for. explosion begins the ep recorded utilising new toy at the time, a korg esx1 sampler and sequencer, resulting in simple but crashing dancehall beats with a diliinja style bassline that is pure roughage. second track razor sees tenniswood also take up the guitar as well as beat programming in this track named after the * stepping razor* peter tosh and a nod to his music hero adrian sherwood and on u sound vibes. blazer rounds off the ep, a collab with long term dub head and band member with keith from bargecharge (check fuel records early releases late 90s) james foster. tape echo and distorted bass make up the thick sound of this trac

simodul ep is no less challenging to its listeners comprehension abilities than the previous moment records releases.
adventuring into the electronic mystic lands is vincentiulian, who tames the analog machines in his own twisted way into 2 carefully crafted tunes. simodul on side a exploits the whining oscillators to drive the audience into the energy of the simple yet hypnotizing kick. flipping the record we find alpha, enlighting our spirits with its wobbly bassline, entangled within radiant strobes of pensive rhythms.
simodul ep comes in line with the first moment releases, carving new paths into the darker corners of tech house.

the music on algorithms ep is a perfectly balanced hybrid of techno minimalism which is entirely unique and yet somehow strangely familiar. whether provided by dismantled bass notes or simple drone, the music here resides on par with fragile arrangement - a unique brand of minimalism that s breathtakingly engaging and attuned to detail. three awesome tracks for the floor.

we are really proud and honored to present espectrum, a year-long effort to put together a compilation of the best dub techno. the idea was simple, but ambitious: ask some of our favorite artists for one track to epitomize dub techno—the style of music we’ve loved and continued to develop since our birth as producers and a label. with a very precise idea of what we wanted to collect, the compilation was carefully built with hypnotic, obscure, dense, and magical sounds with an eternal hook. these are the kind of tracks that will never lose their appeal, because they go above and beyond labels, styles, and trends, resisting the passage of time. after the first tracks starting coming in, the idea grew more and more special, and the concept even stronger. we knew we were onto something really big. and, finally, here it is.

drawing on a rich well of influences from sufi and shamanic african trance music, irish and eastern european folk music, to steve reich and philip glass and more contemporary electronica influences, their music is built around deceptively simple sounding ideas that are lent power through the use of repetition and rhythmic loops. they have been compared to both portico quartet and gogo penguin for the way in which they navigate the choppy waters between contemporary dance music and jazz.

the vfmm is proud to present - at last - this very joyful event of the birth of the label s first 7- release: chordula and inherit the world are brothers from different mothers and respecting their musical approach either of the two are deftly deploying what was back in the 90 s critically acclaimed as the peak of the french-house movementthe avid listener will readily notice refinement and sophistication in arrangement and composition of each track. the simple, yet compelling basic structure of these cuts is the driving force which renders everyone who listens exuberant.his split 7- is the perfect musical match for the imminent summer - stomping beats, bouncy rhythms, funky chords and an overall upbeat character: let s get down and in the groove. thanks to chordula and inherit the world, the notable french-house may celebrate a short but intense revival as of now. the vfmm wolfpack recommends its new manifest#005 7- to true house devotees

the prolific producer shows he still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve across all four cuts and stitches in acid, jack and chicago styles with his own sense of charm. the kings comes hard and fast out of the blocks with big hits, wild synths and raved-up vibes that will have you punching the air. knowledge is another banger with powerful kicks and globular bassline run through with more ravey sirens, but this time is a little more haunted. crossing paths is all about a simple but effective bassline that bounces along and takes you with it in ways similar to an omar s joint, then wait is the most stripped back and mysterious of the lot with cosmic melodies panning about in a spacious and airy deep house groove. utterly timeless from start to finish, this is another massively effective offering from innershades.

filippo blasi foglietti returns to third ear for his second release, the copy principle, following his well-received debut, the john nixon memorial ep. djs, notably ellen allien and peter van hoesen, and many others continue to play this deep and trippy record. the copy principle is a more urgent, more stripped back proposition than john nixon memorial ep, but is identifiably filippo blasi foglietti, at his deep and trippy best. the copy principle is one of scottish philosopher david humes best known ideas. hume (born 1711, died 1776) states that our ideas come from our impressions. he wrote, all our simple ideas in their first appearance are derivd from simple impressions, which are correspondent to them, and which they exactly represent

shaw cuts is happy to present its third release, which includes 4 tracks produced by farron under the title ‘death duel’. the story of this chapter is simple: the third master is respected as the unrivalled and undefeated swordmaster of the day. his strength and skill saw many opponents who sought to slay him and win his title. all failed. there was only one rival who might sever his crown. it is only a matter of time until the ultimate duel… ‘we don’t make no sense’ rings in combat with a dirty break-beat drum pattern combined with deep, melancholic pads, circling the scene before one of the masters makes the first attack. warmer in tone, ‘tangency’ is the first intermission, a lull in bloodshed and impending annihilation. short-lived… the b-side brings back battle mode with ‘centro’, a rough and rolling thunder with churning synth action and distorted drums. the duel ends with ’par 2’, its sharp percussions, goliath bass drum and spheric pads reverberate victory. an open breast and sword glazed red. fatal hemorrhage…

bodytrax drops it s second ep of 2016 with another essential 3-tracker from bodyjack. laugh it up opens things up and we are in vintage bodyjack territory from the outset. rough (and we mean rough!) beats and percussion, vocal hook and a metallic riff combined with possibly his ugliest bass line to date to make this an essential addition the bag/crate of any house dj. slow clap strips things right down to just drums and bass taking the track into even more raw areas. warehouse vibes! the title track i m here all week on the flip is one of those simple but infectious house tracks that you re going to remember after a night out. once again, our man s synth n bass work duck around those sharply programmed beats he s know for to round off the ep with a bang.

taking a step back from packed yoshi classics, weve decided to keep it simple with this one, kings of tomorrows i want you for myself. this tune needs no introduction its a vocal powerhouse that had dancers singing along worldwide in the summer of 98.

“the earth was incessantly covered in ice, it’s landscape an immense, frozen desert. boulders and sand washed to the valley, crushed under the glaciers’ enormous weight, leaving nothing but the hardest rock behind.” neunau draws inspiration from natural phenomenons, sculpting his indelible and furious expression into materials: a ritual guided only by the rhythm of his own heartbeat. composed exclusively of sounds recorded at the ancient forge museum in bienno, in the middle of one of the largest valleys in the central alps, neunau presents an experience that goes beyond simple listening. his tools — water, iron and microphones — are used to transport the listener through time and place. a true voyage through forgotten ritualism and symbolism, these extracts aim to grind contemporary dance music to its barest essentials, making long-lost times ours again.

bringing together their eclectic musical background, both individuals behind the recently born artist duo exponent share a vision of a uniting element in dance music, which is much more defined by atmosphere and its demarcation to mainstream music than by simple genre characteristics. sometimes broken, sometimes straight - those three tracks end up with a four-to-the-floor attitude, without intending to. complex and simple at the same time, never letting go of that one hypnotic groove, which keeps us together during those special nights. 22.22. is released on freakadelle, the record label of the same-named cultural npo based in salzburg, austria.

anyone familiar with the music of sinisa tamamovic knows the man is an expert in techno floor fillers.... the tracks here are no exception, valentina and confused reside in the world of bold, unrelenting grooves constructed with little more than bass and drums: and they get the job done. the bass lines are distinctly sinisa, simple, catchy, and mixed exquisitely, they take on a whole new attitude when played on club systems. valentina starts things strong, its driving rhythm gains energy as atmospheres develop and an worldly vocal enters, a latin american street rhyme that gives the track some international flare. confused is more raw, employing rough drums and ethereal sound effects. either one will do the trick for peak hours and late nights, and expect to hear these all over the place at wmc 2016

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.

the very awaited vinyl release of this 2013 digital work of the french frederick barbe aka cold colors with the ukranian oksana rodionova aka xiu. the included tracks are somewhere between classical synthwave and light and extremely peaceful coldwave without loose the dj friendly approach characteristic of past cold colors productions. xiu s eerie vocals gives a new dimension to cold colors extremely elegant and simple analog sequences... this is a truly plastical jewel!. all tracks have been analogically remastered specially for this vinyl version.

for the debut of his newfound label ipso records, ko&#776,,,,lsch wanted to try something new. he has long been a fan of limiting himself in the studio. sometimes working with less equipment brings out the best in you, so for the first release i figured it would be interesting to experiment with this, ko&#776,,,,lsch says. inspired by the danish dogma films, he decided to make a rule, and as he is not one for overdoing things, the rule is very simple.

king ghazi is shadi khries and gilbert cohen. recorded in amman / may 2014. all the music presented here is original, and has been recorded in jordan in may 2014. this project was born when i met shadi in paris, at the percussion recording sessions for acid arab. from these sessions came the idea of&#8203,,,,,exploring local music styles on the verge of disappearing, in jordan and elsewhere in the middle east. it was also an opportunity for me to meet exceptional people and wonderful artists. for 15 days, we travelled through jordan, recording local musicians. here we hear osama al khairat aka abu sayah, an exiled syrian musician who plays the yarghoul (two flutes linked together by beeswax. one plays a drone, the other the corresponding range, all while blowing continuously). i want to specially thank shermine sawalha for allowing us to record in the living room of her parents house, as well as for coordinating the whole project. without her energy and patience, this record would not be in your hands today.

romanias snejl black teams up with qindek for its 4th release. what we get are 3 tracks, carefully sculpted, ultra-pure visions of techno. each is thoroughly uncluttered, and given just enough color to be compelling. simple kick drum, undulating sounds that provide something distantly related to melody, and very subtle backdrops that pair a soothing hiss and quiet drones. nothing is superfluous, everything is essential.

ostgut ton reissues neun of zehn with original tracks by ben klock and ryan elliott as well as len faki revisiting rainbow delta. 2015 marked ostgut tons ten-year anniversary, celebrated with an extensive 30 track compilation release, titled ostgut ton | zehn, spread out over ten 12inch vinyl records housed inside a limited box set. this sampler sold out in no time, which is why ostgut ton is re-issuing these ten 12inches individually in 2016. without any doubt, the best klubnacht moments are when dancers let go in trance not peak time, not big hitters, its the subtle nuances that matter. ben klocks first solo production in six years on a internalises this formula: a simple beat, pulsing sirens, a shimmering melody, some sprinkling flute notes and ben’s your uncle. sirens is a pure, hypnotic cut, shrewd and stylish. on b1 ryan elliott underlines why he has been playing both of berghains floors regularly: smith lake is somewhere along the lines of micro techno/macro house, something living inbetween musical worlds and floors, combining tribalist bongo percussion with ethereal synth pads and a delicate bassline. is it safe to say that rainbow delta is a modern classic? because it is! on b2 len faki revisits his 2007 release in form of a stripped-down, bare-naked and intimate ambient version. a modern classic, turned seren

for the latest instalment in the apollonia story we look to argentina and the talented producer federico molinari. having been based in germany for the last couple of decades, federico has refined his sound, developing a strong signature through his dj sets and his studio productions, most of which he has released via his label oslo. federicos ability to craft effortless grooves and timeless rhythms is evident here on this killer new three-tracker. side a is the eight-minute long roller * congo toys*. the focus here is on a crisp 4x4 beat, which keeps things simple – under this lies a sturdy bassline. all the while, the low end is accompanied by a series of bleeps, which could almost be the chatter between two archaic computers, modulated and weaving in and out of the beats and bass. on the flip, we have two more dance floor-ready joints. like * congo toys*, * tres cuartos* is focused around a simple foundation, with layers of unusual effects – an overriding sense of playfulness comes through in molinaris production, perfect for the boogie down crew. last up, * joyfex* takes us further into leftfield, hypnotic, hazy atmospherics draw us into their web and we are tangled up in a mesh of vibrating whirrs and echoing, distorted voices. sublime business from an apollonia favorite…

h-productions proudly presents >green light< by cari lekebusch. this is the fourth release in the full color spectrum serie, that is aiming to result in 9 different colored vinyl 12inch. both tracks are maintaining a stripped down policy, solid sound pictures and simple arrangements - with no unnecessary elements, breaks or changes. thus giving the dj more freedom to play around during the blending. and the sound pictures have intentionally been tuned while having the various h-productions releases in mind, that came out around 1993-1997. since the beginning of the 1990s, caris brainchild label platform h-productions has been changing and re-inventing itself numerous times. and at this moment it takes the shape of 3 different catalog numbers running at the same time. the hyb releases will be exclusive vinyl releases only, and the hpx numbers will be digital only. as a cherry ontop we have the special hybrid catalog that will only be found in our bandcamp online shop. -with warm regards from stockholm-

cray76, joakim’s dance project, is back with a 2-track ep.
on the a-side, this is what we would call a banger here at crowdspacer. simple, stupid, raw, funky. is it a tribute to new york? not sure but the b side certainly is. to be more precise it’s a tribute to merce cunningham, the legendary choreographer, close collaborator of john cage and genius thinker who inspired the name of the label. based on a recorded lecture by merce, the eponymous track is a slow, hypnotic and organic house groove, an ode to movement and ny avant garde, because “...dancing is a visible action of life.”
