bristol native and musical wiz benjamin jacobs aka crackazat dazzled us since the first time we heard him a few years ago on futureboogie with his deep and jazzy electronic house not house sound. after a move to sweden and refining his characteristic music profile you will now find hints of floating points, faltydl, lone or underground resistance in his productions. its dance + music at its best and something truly special if you ask us! after a killer track (size up) on local talks off shoot label oneoffs and a bumpin piano remix for tony blitz our man crackazat is now here with his first solo release on local talk ... the candle coast ep. all three tracks are winners by themselves and its seriously tricky to single out any of them so its just up to you to choose your favourite cut. it wont be easy we tell you!

collaborations are often the fortune of timing. with andy having moved on since closing the dissident label to launching his cave paintings project to tim s departure from battant and striking out as andrew weatheralls engineer and soon to be co-member of the asphodells, an alliance was born between the two to undertake a series of live jam sessions at eachs respective studios. a love of new wave, new beat, uk bleep and detroit techno all feature in b-ultras and the aptly titled, neu beat. both cuts are heavily soaked in the pitch black, smoke machine funk and strob-laden fug of andys (and co-hort joe hart) infamous world unknown dancefloor. running at around 10 minutes the tracks are essentially an examination of acid houses ideals. clattering hats, throbbing basslines, stabbing keys and doses of 303. keeping it pretty simple but all about a pure groove on and on. backing these up is a remix of b-ultras from jamie paton that accentuates the groove and drags the acid deeper down to some b-boy dub throwdown - with more to follow from all protagonists in 2014.

it has been too long since private gold has seen fit to unleash the audio dragon to dropkick our listening holes. but unleash they finally have, in the guise of ex-cologne enfant terrible, daso. daso is a longtime associate of the private gold family, and it was only a matter of time before he poked his head out of his new berlin cave to spray the landscape with some much needed fire

eric is definately swedens most interesting and skillful producer when it comes to underground deep house and soulful techno. eric ericksson released his first single in 96 with several releases since then on respected labels, both indie and major. at age 18, he released a single on derrick mays label fragile, alongside artists such as carl craig and laurent garnier. later the same year he, as part of the duo minimalisterna, released a full-length album on virgin records. in 2011 the ep someone is watching was released on carl craigs planet e communications. as co-founder of kass recordings he released the work of some of the top artists on the swedish scene, such as zoo brazil and style of eye. in 2009 he formed north beach together with daniel howe and since then they had three releases on kant recordings and played in well-respected venues in europe. his latest 12 inch vinyl love cannot was released this summer on freerange recordings.

jubilee for dystopian… not only the number 005 for the label, also 5 years of dystopian showcases around the world and a good working agency and label since 2012 – the dystopian guys want to say thank you with that special release. and what fits better to invite some long term guests to remix dystopian artists ?! first, we invited pär grindvik who played the second dystopian party ever in 2010 to remix the already wonderful >stone edge< by felix k. and what else to say, that one turned out into a tribal techno monster.second remixer is function – he played the every first dystopian event back in 2009 (you remember, as sandwell district live, ben klock, shed and rodhad).. so, this time it s our pleasure – and to get a good balance to the a-side, he delivered a groovy hypnotizing minimalistic tool.. you need to let i grow, but than this track getting you from behind :)

since we opened our small record store in brighton we have been asked repeatedly for new garage releases on wax. this reminded us that not too much that is available at the moment which could easily fit that criteria. and as long term garage fans ourselves we are more than happy to oblige the faithful with 4 killa darkside steppers from londons buzzin 10. the beats harken back to classic uk garage but are topped off by synths that share common musical ground with detroit electro or european electronica.

more extra-terrestrial, technoid vibrations from the iii river nucleus. this latest transmission delivered by the one and only hakim murphy, and received through biosynthesized artefacts planted on earth by the higher civilizations during the great experiment. reports of strange noises in the sky have been circulating since 2010, posing many questions as to their origin. secretly, iii rivers have been communicating with the space beings, securing their place in the interstellar shangri-la when at last we finally transcend the cosmos.

part of a constellation of little known, largely spanish techno artists who have defined semantica as a must-watch techno label since at least 2009 but really for its entire history, aikens work is also a stunning summation of the qualities that make this small group of leading-edge talents essential encapsulations of the genres musical progression up until this time. deeply rooted in the innovations of detroit, berlin and new york, his music also takes in flourishes of sound design and broken-beat experimentalism rooted in the rich past of uk dance music

the artist concurrently known as jackmate has been already been indoctrinated into our cult since he signed onto he pampa bookings roster awhile back. as soulphiction he is also co-founder of philpot, the stuttgart-based label, home to the majority of his releases over the past 10+ years.

valcrond video, the label of brooklyn-based visual artist and producer luke wyatt presents its very first vinyl issue in the shape of two new tracks from torn hawk, one of wyatts aliases. first coming to the fore in a musical sense with a set of distressed guitar and asphalt beat attacks on the lies white label series, torn hawk has been closely associated with ron morellis label ever since with wyatt subsequently working with karen gwyer, secret circuit and willie burns. distancing himself a bit from the grime and grit some associate with his productions, the two new tracks have more in common with the more expansively voiced compositions on emotional response release teen hawk, or the cinematic melancholy of the untitled ep he released under the alias lossmaker. clearly wyatt is building towards housing all his musical instincts under one roof.

giovanni damico (white rabbit recordings/ragrange records - salerno) is maybe the most productive producer we ve ever come across. and were not just talking quantity, were talking quality! for geography records sixth release weve had so much fantastic material to choose from so we decided to put out two eps by giovanni. the first one is called >cuttin, samplin, housin part one<.ranging from the kind of beautiful house music geography has been known for since the release of julius steinhoffs epic out in the woods ep back in 2011 on the a-side to the more fun loving style of the b-side, reminding us of our two latest top 40 hit-records by real cool and shakarchi & straneus.

since the early 80s maddisco has been heavily into hip hop and electro, recording his favourite stuff from the radio until the late 80s when he started collecting vinyl and djing, chicago house and detroit techno were the first genres he went for after hearing them at the club rip in clink street, quickly followed by balearic, disco, funk, dub and ambient music some of which he heard at danny ramplings club shoom

ricardo tobar is releasing his long awaited debut album treillis on established french label desire (ike yard, monoton, live skull, keluar, deathday, egyptology, etc). inspired by mysticism & noise, ricardo uses old drum machines, analog equipment and also samples he has been storing since some years to create dirty sounding drums, modulated synth sounds and keeping far away from the more expected and polished sounds most artists are using.

retrieval is the debut collaborative album from faith coloccia and alex barnett. artist and composer coloccia was a founding member of everlovely lightningheart, and is perhaps best known as one half of mamiffer. she has contributed to recordings by house of low culture, boris and william fowler collins among others, and collaborations with circle and daniel menche are forthcoming. alex barnett played in oakeater but since 2009 has been active primarily as a solo artist, with releases on catholic tapes, draft, nihilist and others.

since his 2011 debut lp *bible eyes*, psutka has been busy with various studio production projects as well as recording and touring with his side-project hiawatha. his return as egyptrixx takes the form of a multi-media collaboration with berlin-based visual artist a.n.f. (andreas fischer). together the pair focused on a process - a set of meaning-through-reduction principles applied to both sound and video - with atmosphere, repetition and texture given priority over traditional ideas of narrative and song structure.

so here i am, happily an album older, introducing the first of adamants remix packages. since the whole project was, generally speaking, a personal affair and a lot of the album was not necessarily club-ready (does that even make sense?), we invited our friends on board to do the dirty deeds for me and rework my sounds into something normal people can dance to. first up are mind against.

for this release kurbits once again turns to the romanian artist faster aka laurentiu suciu. since fasters last release on kurbits in 2011, the romanian has established his position on the scene with gigs all over the world and quality releases on labels such as vinyl club and rora. on this release we see faster continiung and developing the deep and hypnotic sounds of previous releases. orchestra modificata is something as rare as a subtle big track. the pads sure speak the language of big room business, but in combination with the exquisite percussion work, the track takes us to exciting unexplored dimensions. on the flip we have daca vrei. its radiant mood and the laid back breakbeats, make it the perfect ingridient for those early morning sessions when a little pinch of sunshine is all you need to take the crowd to party heaven. we sincerely hope you ll have as much pleasure with these tracks as we a have. we ll be back soon with new and exciting rhythms.

*regular & irregular* is a collection of five unfolding tracks, that reveal themselves through hidden sections, like walking through a foreign city at night hearing snatches of life. these tracks were created over a two year period and represent andys further exploration of melodic, rhythmic, and sonic ideas, some with instrumental parts contributed by fellow fallingup (the bristol club night andy runs) crew members typesun and jay l. spread over 2×12 inches, this is the 7th release in 2013 from idle hands following on from esteemed releases by outboxx, rhythmc theory, kevin mcphee and strategy. this is andys first release since his acclaimed 12 inch for peverelists punch drunk label.

ma spaventi, a roman, now based in amsterdam, has been around for a minute, his trio r-a-g (with aroy dee and gijs poortman, a.k.a. gstring) has been recording refined, classicist house and techno on an all-analog kit since 2010. marked by tough drums, swirling pads, and a willingness to veer into pure, beatless ambient territory, their records are formally purist without scrimping on a sense of mystery. spaventis solo work so far has suggested that he may be the tough guy of the bunch.

legendary studio 1 re-release! >a series of very special minimal funky music based on very small and sneaky samples, danceable music but very much influenced by architecture and by the idea of taking minimal by the word and leaving out as much elements as possible to bring the maximum within the minimum.< – wolfgang voigt on the studio 1 series. with this re-release of two tracks from wolfgang voigts seminal studio 1 series, lisbons assemble music turns the spotlight back on to what amounts to the basic grammar of most contemporary underground house and techno. along with basic channel and the concept series, studio 1 has long been acknowledged as one of the forerunners of minimalist techno, though voigt is at pains to point out the >differences between their handwriting. rightly so, since neither mark & moritz nor hawtin prioritised the funk and fizz that jumps out of these two tracks >gelb< the determined younger brother to the more conventionally dubby (but no less groovy) >lila<. any producer who has spent long hours making minute adjustments to the interplay between the simplest of elements – kick, bass, snare, hats – should know they have been walking in voigts ever-so-well-placed footsteps. this re-release from assemble music serves as a reminder of where the music has come from

it has been four long years since noahs last album, blind alignments, was released here on thoughtless, and much has happened since: extensive tour dates, numerous singles and collaborations, a lingering break-up, a move across the atlantic, 80 releases here on preds thoughtless imprint, tests of new music technology, and the sudden death of his father, all this and more transpired as his latest full-length effort, third culture, took shape. traversing these highs and lows, the result breaks new ground for pred, building on the dub-inflected techno and house that fills his discography, yet reaching far beyond anything we have heard from him before.

these three tracks were recorded by daze maxim and oliver bondzio during the studiosession in 2003 for oliver bondzios straight outta d-town album which was released on cocoon recordings. since music has no expiring date oliver finally decided to release them

we have been proud to watch the rise of oleg poliakov after he first joined our ranks with datcha musik way back in 2007. since first swearing allegiance to the circus, he has continued to unfurl a refined approach to house and techno that carefully balances a respectful mastery of the classic tropes of the genre with his own instinct for seductive melodic content.

this autumn bernard fevre returns with *black moon, white sun*, his 7 th album as the black devil, a mask he has worn since 1978 to conjure up analogue disco dreams from the ether and cast a spell over dancefloors around the world. released on the ancient festival of samhain (october 31st) when the barriers between our world and the next are said to be thinnest, *black moon, white sun* is your own personal gateway to an altered state of mind.

axel boman broke through in 2010 with his holy love ep, released on dj kozes pampa records. the track purple drank became an instant classic in underground house music circles – since then, boman has toured extensively while releasing original productions and remixes on labels like dfa, hypercolour, kompakt, permanent vacation and ovum, as well as on studio barnhus, the label he runs together with kornel kovacs and petter nordkvist

optimo trax is an offshoot label of optimo music for tracks aimed at djs/dancefloors. yes, we know there are too many record labels already, but we felt an overriding desire to start another one as so much music that didnt seem quite right for optimo music (i.e. music that was specifically designed for dancing) kept coming our way. like the parent label, optimo trax will release music by new artists and excavate forgotten classics. luma is a project by dave clark from glasgow. dave had his first release as a member of state of flux in 1993 on t&b vinyl, the label twitch ran with his dj partner of that era, brainstorm. twitch and dave have continued to work together in various ways ever since. he has released records as truffle club, and as big ned on optimo music as well as working with twitch from 2005 - 2010 remixing a plethora of artists under the optimo (espacio) moniker before fatherhood necessitated him focusing on changing nappies rather than programming synths. dave has also recorded under various aliases for r&s, numbers, stuffrecords, dissident and wireblock. the twentieth anniversary of that first release seemed a fitting date for dave to unleash his monster new club music alter ego, luma on optimo trax. twitch thinks dave is the best producer in scotland and endlessly weeps into his gin and tonics about how unprolific dave is, so was ecstatic when the 4 killer tracks were delivered that make up this third optimo trax ep. these have been thoroughly road tested over the last few months at gigs around the world.

pov is joakim x crackboy and they make arab ghetto techno (which is sort of legitimate since they both have arabic/middle eastern roots). crowdspacer (or crwdspcr as a tribute to merce cunninghams dance performance) is a vinyl-only label dedicated to outstanding club music launched by tigersushis founder and musician/dj/producer, joakim.

we are very happy to welcome back fx mchn since his track jackie on number 1 got so much support, he has given us a dark rave beast. alphonse delivers another machine based twisty thing with drum tweaks from the other lht man prima who is releasing his first solo track on the next one number 5 .... heads up! facade comes correct with a whole side to himself - a simple house groove that will make any party an lht party, and a cheeky bonus track that sounds like a lost electro funk gem from rimini via harlesden and brooklyn.

audiolith - musical luckybag with a masterplan. ten years from now, back in 2003 the label started as musical one-man-show without any kind of business plan. a decade has passed since then and audiolith grew into a proper company with two associates, employees, office, online mailorder store and not less than 200 releases under its belt. but still some things never change, especially when it comes to release politics. no matter what ever style comes in whenever the boss likes it there will be a release. no compromise, no fear of failure that is what audiolith is all about and lars lewerenz is, has been and stays the musically approving authority, no matter if we talk electropunk, drum n bass, indie or punkrock, hiphop, trap, deep. emotin-driven house or electropop. his widely varied taste is the reason why audiolith still remains fresh and surprising a musical luckybag, but one with a masterplan. now the year is 2013 and audiolith is still loved by many - and hated by some for giving away golden gifts to fans instead of waiting for presents itself.

wph 019 brings us art of tones with lauer remixes. art of tones is of course the much-praised aka of llorca, has long since moved on from his f-communications days and is without a doubt one of the finest and most accomplished house music producers of our time. but we digress, because isnt this all about the music?

pipped is a brand new label from appleblim set up to explore new avenues and directions & get some exciting sounds out there quicker. coming on special one-sided handstamped vinyl, we are very proud to present the first release, a stonking rework of komon & appleblims *silencio* by none other than prins thomas. ever since hearing his amazing work with lindstrom and the killer remixes of hatchback, studio, lcd soundsytem & toby tobias, to name but a a few, it has been a dream to hook something up with him – so here it is, get your heads down and boogie….

leader of the new wave of belgian artists, cupp cave unleashes his first set of tracks since last years mini album retina waves. nvmb is more focused and dancefloor friendly than his previous release - cupp cave is currently putting the finishing touches to his debut album, due on ramp in 2014.

fear of flying delve once more into the world of long players with leif, someone who has been a feature of the label since the labels inception, having contributed seven releases on their combined journey together. dinas oleu is the culmination of that journey. a sonically refined trip through hazy deep house and tripped out ambient skits.

mike parker roars back with the 20th release of his own geophone label. the a side >full moon in winter< is an acidic monster created with a tb-303 devilfish. this track was premiered by dj dozzy at the labyrinth festival and has been sought after ever since. more of mikes insectoid sounds permeate the b side with sizzling analogue high pass filters structured around his tight but fluid rhythms. gph20 is a must for fans of mike parkers otherworldly techno sound.
