for our seventh excursion into sound, we bring you 2 weapons from different sides of the globe, but with a common theme.
we welcome to the label two extremely talented sound sculptors from mexico, kaban & di rugerio. both boast a string of innovative sounds released on some top notch labels, but here they have teamed up to bring us something really special. *overflow* is a swirling nemesis of a track, with crashing drums and tribal percussion flowing around huge electrical pulses that inject pure energy into the dancefloor.
boom merchant follows up last years hugely successful *stars/green symphony* with another perfect balance of rhythmic and melodic elements. *surge* is a track that always generates a huge reaction, built around a tight groove with plenty of action in the low end. it is literally smeared with electrical charge and doused in layers of harmonic goodness.
we hope these tracks put a smile on your face.

after 1 good year of hiatus & celebrating its 6th year in the game, room with a view is back in full effect with a very special 3 tracker by kyodai, a duo that has been gathering serious momentum after highly celebrated releases on local talk, exploited, freerange or pokerflat to name a few. the famous brother pair has proven to be working hard in the last years recording, remixing & touring extensively. reknown for their energitic live performances & to have deliver tracks & remixes that have been played by the who s who of the global house scene, kyodai have decided to choose rwav to deliver some very personal tracks. in 2013 already, they appeared on our label with the uplifting what you give that became on of the key tracks of the live sets of the last 2 years.

italian conquerors giovanni verrina and germano ventura after releasing music in some of the most interesting labels on the market they decide to open a side project for their own taste of music, focusing on needs of djs and dancefloors. double 12 inch debut release of howl called uno represents funk and techno influenced groovy dancefloor materials on the higher level as usual.

rising label 04 is coming with a very complete ness ep which includes a ben gibson remix. >chronoscope< is the intro track that opens the release, a beautiful landscapes piece where ness shows his love and dexterity for the ambient music. following, >pantropy< is already starting with a heavy kick, far voices layered between the percussions and a sweet melody developing and coming up with that >trancey< touch that ness is able to do. on the b side comes >uchronia<, the track from where the release take the name, a strong broken track with shaped and dynamic percussions where some >chronoscope< landscapes are used flowing as the track goes on. to close the ep ben gibson delivers a classy >uchronia< remix going simple but effective, a perfect balance between gibson style and ness track that totally works out on the floor and makes the prefect closing track for that release.

ltd to 100 copies --- the eight heulsuse comes by hanne & lore themselves, boasting with some cripsy kickdrums and distinctive bars to keep the dancefloor bouncing. *samara* should definitely roil up the whole zone with the venturesome title track itself. but just in order to clean it up again, the b-side brings the avowed style back to the next level - the clue is in the name with *come clean*. the tape release includes a download code.

shadeleaf continues, with a strident 7 out of 7 on the scoreboard! following a stunning (and sell-out !) ep earlier last year, the north easts answer to michigans finest, steps up again, with probably his strongest work to date. mannmademusic became known very quickly, over the space of a few low key, but expertly realised edits releases for the likes of glenview, lumberjacks in hell & diner city sounds. this ep sees him continue wearing his influences proudly, but re-imagine them in an altogether rawer framework - samples woven together, augmented and redefined, some of it following the classic kdj blueprint but laid out in a style thats all his own. those familiar loops submerged and unfurling, rubbing up against altogether more off-kilter but coherent workouts, sat alongside perfectly measured electronic jams all combining into an ep that stands head and shoulders above the competition. another shadeleaf sureshot!

new imprint special edition launches in some style with a top release from the rather talented, emerging italian producer kiu d. this guy has been grabbing a lot of influential peoples attention recently and it is not surprising on this kind of devastating form. the man can produce and has a fine taste in music to match. pulling on influences from funk, disco and house music, he turns out 3 top class jams with super hi fidelity that are destined to set any dance floor on fire. definitely one to look out for and a great start for special edition!

2018 repress! satoris acclaimed electronica album in between worlds gets the first bunch of remixes by some great artists.

following toju kaes critically acclaimed debut *villa/11 rooms*, the young vienna-based producer offers us with his new album *unfold* an outstanding collection of tracks that contrary to the detail-loving beautifully arranged first output shows a distinct rougher and downscaled side of his music. ranging between the sticky crowded dancefloor and the safe haven of ambient roots it hints at, the album, released through swiss label neopren records, still unfolds its own room of both subtlety and drive as well as a much-needed sense of buoyancy and a certain impression of forward movement. with a new and unexpected feeling for roughness and spontaneity and some great avant-garde moments (buscheli), unfold is a marked progression, both in terms of composing and producing, in the career of the artist.

standing beyond just todays current trends, eyetone has quietly gone about its business of releasing music with substance and picking up support along the way from some of the finest selectors in the business. doc martin, craig richards, sasha, evil eddie richards and honey dijon to name a few.

originally released on richie hawtins minus label a decade ago, restore stands alone as houles very first long-player and helped to establish his penchant for the quirkier side of techno and his superlative production skills. spread across three 12inches & 11 tracks it encapsulated the dark, minimal, groove-driven sound purveyed by hawtin and the rest of the minus crew, while retaining a strong sense of houles unique character and identity. now its the perfect time to breath new life into an album that has stood the test of time, still utterly infectious and absorbing - a collection of music that captures an era of stripped back, yet captivating sounds. 10 years since its release, the album is getting the remix treatment and marc has called in some of the very best in techno talent to give restore a fresh makeover.

few labels could claim to share the creative purpose and pool of talent that cosmo records does. operating out of casablanca, morocco, the imprint has made its purpose clear, to fuse experimental house and techno with traditional african musicianship in a cultural dialogue that spans generations and continents in search of thrilling new musical forms. over the past five years, cosmo has called upon some of the finest producers in the most adventurous corners of 4/4 dance music to collaborate with players of the kora, guembri, lute and many more forms of percussion and melodic instrumentation. the chosen artists congregate at the cosmo recording studios in casablanca, which acts as a hub for these disparate musical energies to come together in a fusion of seasoned, learned performances and hyper-modern electronic processes. amongst the most notorious artists that have contributed to the label so far are masomenos, radiq, argenis brito and ricardo villalobos, while moroccan producer adil hiani provides a local focus to the electronic side of the creative process, as well as conducting the a&r for the label.

some facts about duncan gray... he is a multi-instrumentalist tune smith... he has a label called tici taci... he was, along with our kid, one half of the criminally under-rated machine funk duo the sons of slough who produced an album of elastic electro (milk, milk, lemonade) and invented electro-bingo (two fat ladies... aux 88). he has recorded a cover version of robert calverts (ex-hawkwind) *lord of the hornets*... he has played space guitar on a number of my remixes (we like to call his sound pink wray). he has given me 4 tracks of low-slung sleazey loveliness to release on bird scarer...

marseille s finest dj steef steps up to the plate for the next foto 12 inch, supplying 3 hefty house tracks of varying tempo s and moods. main jam shaking kicks off proceedings with a chopped-up break and kicking groove before a piano-laden mid-section sends the temperature rising. next up freeters hits heavy on the pitch-down vibe with some wonky electronics underpinned by a solid 4/4 low end. over on the flip big bossman the revenge hits back with a trademark stripped-out mix of shaking which is heavy on the machine funk. rounding things off mojica tribe is an altogether deeper number with smooth pads and an ethereal atmosphere

s1 warsaw is back! after last years sampler including crooked disco debut from matat professionals it is time to get back to artists series with warsaw-based producers full lenght ep. dial b for fun time is a perfect soundtrack to memories of 90s teenager spending all day hanging around skate spots, driving car and listening to some noisy mixtapes, watching skateboarding movies and cheesy comedy flicks on vhs tapes or bombing downtown at night. sounds and styles blended in these four tracks vary from early dj shadows sublime beats, soundstreams disco-house pumpin, bjørn torskes nordic moods to mobb deeps lo-fi hardcore hip-hop instrumentals. all served with cheeky sense of humor and dose of irony.

its been three intense years now since the formerly tel aviv-based dj, producer and girl scout-leader magit cacoon hooked up with the upon.you family back in 2012 after relocating herself to berlin and making some serious waves on the cities - and of course the european - club circuit.

focusing on deep and raw vibes, strictly wax and classic beats, the - montee louis ep- has been directly imported from bellevue ii, libreville gabon, africa & it has been produced by the great bernard da smoove. mpc-filtered deep house with some darker & menacing rhythms, a1 - hudson budd- kicks off the a1 with a meaty 4/4 kick drum which slowly finds itself surrounded by ghostly pads and even more haunting synths. a2 - thrawbock- mutates into a more light hearted house jam for the heads, with its vocal infectious sample. b1 - strctly move - goes back into familiar, smooth deep house territories but still retains his magic touch, able to transform even the deepest of basslines into something both unusual and musical at the same time. b2 & b3 thrawbock 88 & strctly move 88 are the 90s hip-hop (!!!) versions of the same tracks above : insane !! first time we heard it we thought, hell yeah, the production is just terrific & indeed there s a timeless quality to the intricately programmed drum machine rhythms, the drifting chords, warm

second state audio präsentiert den ersten gemeinsamen release der beiden berliner djs andreas quiring und frederik laaser (aka the reason y), die beide seit jahren feste institutionen der berliner clubszene sind. creativity, craziness and techno infused by pure genius are some of the key components of the duo the reason y.

the original he serves up here is my groove, a firmly rooted and solid bit of house music with classically inclined vocal chants by gjeazon from crazy like a fox records, that recall eddie amador s biggest cut. subtle details embellish the groove and make it all the more standout, and those deep looping basslines really pull you into the middle of the track, which also has airy hi hats and a sleazy sense of funk. the first remix comes from afterparty founder, rinse fm radio host, former usher tour dj, southern fried affiliate and pioneer collaborator doorly, who also runs his own pigeon hole label. his remix smooths out the kinks and simmers a grainy groove for seven shuffling, seductive minutes. rolling effects and a big breakdown are sure to make for some fist pumping moments in the club. last to remix is play it down producer and foremost danish dj christian nielsen. he does so with an increased sense of urgency and his track hits that bit harder as a result, all thanks to a dirty down low bassline that just rolls and rolls.

la pena is ready for spring break and we turn up the heat with these 4 dubbed out slices. markus fix, dorian paic, markus sommer, dario reimann and labelowner einzelkind deliver some serious sonnenbank-flavour. la pena trägt mantel !

pitched somewhere between the molasses gloop of acid tracks and his more gospel moments, pierre s phantasy club was a vocal project that, without reaching the heights of some of his more momentous wild pitch productions and remixes, still showed his versatility. i ll put the bug in you it ll make you stay, i ll plant it it ll never go away. we believe you, pierre. repressed & remastered for 2015 & featuring all original label artwork, with permission from trax records.

the krankbrother label comes back out of the blocks this may, hot on the heels of their inaugural release (produced by krankbrother themselves), with a second offering, this time from young welsh producer jody barr. having been producing and demoing material for the last couple of years, barr has been picking up some fans of late, including george fitzgerald and b-traits, and this release on krankbrother marks his debut single, and a bright future.

nearly two years ago we released mys/kela by a newish stockholm-based producer who had put out a couple tracks on a couple labels studio barnhus and local talk owned by friends from around town. that produce s name was hnny and a lot has happened since then, both to him and to us. hes gone on to crank out more l.t. 12inches as well as some hes dropped on his yummy and puss imprints, weve gone on to unleash a couple dozen more records and see the list of talent we ve hosted at our parties grow to astounding length. somehow, through it all, we managed to stay close with hnny, whos real name is johan cederberg, and even book him for a couple nyc gigs. the friendship that began so humbly and gently in 2013 has blossomed.

greetings, earthlings: we come from the land of endless summers and spontaneous jam sessions to deliver get physical number 300. its brought to you by the trio from copenhagen known as whomadewho, a genre-bending group of buddies who are no strangers to critically-acclaimed albums: from their first-ever eponymous album back in 2005, to 2012s chart-topping brighter lp, all the way to last years dreams lp, which was in fact, touted by many as one of the best things to come from the indie-dance sector of music in some time.

loveland are one of the longest running quality event promoters of the netherlands. as music has always been their reason to live it made sense to launch a record label after 20 years in the business. most artists on this release have a special bond with loveland built up over many years of performing at their events and in some cases from the very start of their carreer. the vinyl showcases 7 exclusive tracks on two 12?discs. from the bright and melodic sounds of egbert, vince watson, arjuna schiks and dosem to the repetitive hypnotizing grooves of mathew jonson, anthony rother and aril brikha this release covers a wide scope of quality music.

hailing from berlin, but spiritually from chi-town, snuff crew are back in your area with some freshly served up basement goodies once again. following on from basement jams #1, from all the way back in 2011, the boys bring us tracks with the same playful nature as before but, dare i say it, they go even harder this time. stalwart fans of the first release can stop reading now because it will almost certainly be a blind-buy for you, four tracks obviously engineered for use in the club, whether its the massive kick in ‘what it is’ or the ravey acid lead in ‘88cents’. the jams on the b-side may do the most damage. ‘remember’ holds absolutely nothing back, with its arpeggiated bassline lead and crisper than crisp 909 drum programming. analog is a term that gets bandied about all the time nowadays, ever since so many young producers became enamoured with tape compression and hiss delay plug-ins. i know snuff crew are real analog guys though, in sound and mentality, so hearing basement jams #2 for the first time had me so excited once again.

one modest man known as das komplex has been steadily producing music for almost a decade now in his quiet hometown of koszalin in western pomerania region of poland. it could have stayed like this if not for maciek sienkiewicz (veteran dj and promoter, one of the pioneers of polish electronic music scene), who picked some tunes for his new label fasrat. as the artist himself prefers to stay out of the spotlight, let the music speak for itself: from sun-drenched, guitar-driven like a fish (remixes coming from some key players in modern disco/balearic scene), through futuristic disco of -narkoleptyczni troche- and hazy deepness of nowadays, towards epic, over 13 minutes long, jazzy, dreamy, but no less energetic -siren-. elegant, original, infectious grooves for club play and home listening alike. limited edition with cover art by acclaimed contemporary painter aleksandra waliszewska

amazing record! re-release of a classic sebastien san track, with some excellent remixes from deepchord.

for some it might be kraftwerk, but for me, my favourite electronic pioneers are probably australias severed heads. they were so far ahead of the game that they had to invent a lot of the technology they used. inspired, playful, never boring and always sonically brilliant they pushed at the frontiers of electronic music more than most. by the late 80s they were pursuing a slightly more polished course and made a series of records that had the potential to reach a much larger audience. possibly because of their name they never quite managed that, but they had several big club hits, the dub versions of which crossed over into the nascent house scene. i am honoured that i am able to make the dubs of those three 12 inches from 1988 - 1990 available again.

nsdos is back with some new toys from outer space - on this ep we hear six figments of his twisted imagination, caught live .... on this very dense and captivating ep, kirikoo des goes back to the 90 s with some cut up electronica flair (-christine +2-, -dona j haraway-) reminiscing oval s work or some experimental shake shakir tunes. the longest tracks though feels closer to a club from the future with some eerie pads (-fa-) and liquid rhythms patterns typical of the nsdos touch we love (-yuko-). overall this ep is a much cerebral effort and yet still keeps a vibrant and gorgeous organic side to it. demanding the full attention of the listener, the reward in the end is a total bliss taking us in a deep dimension. -space is the place- as the master sun ra once said

now living in warsaw, donnell knox was well known, along with black nation s jay denham for forging a tough, distinct kalamazoo techno sound in the 90s. his label, sonic mind, put out some very coveted, underground wax that still sounds unique, extra rugged, and fresh. well d-knox is now on a bit of a comeback mission it seems, with some really inspiring new material, and “africa calling”. the first version, created to donnell’s much loved “spirit man” alias, is a soulful trek through layers of pads and emotive synth work. the simple, but uplifting, vocal snippet really gives it an organic and spiritual feel, the tempo is driving and quick, but the overall vibe is laid back and deep. remixes come from the likes of brooklyn based titonton duvante, who maximizes a synth pattern to a form a beautiful, reaching, version, while canada’a rennie foster channels his futago traxx style to present a full on tribal, drum based mix with added vocal pieces. also, detroit transplant, now living in canada as well, j garrett goes in with a very emotional, warm, string laden take. the ep is capped off with another version from donnell that could stand as it’s own track really, a totally different, but equally as strong, version featuring a driving baseline and detroit style string vamps. a really nice release, worthy of your support, from a well loved veteran of the techno underground.

now already almost a year has gone by since “inspiration”, the collaboration between jah wobble and singer pj higgins has come out on sonar kollektiv. with “chaingang (remixes)” we get a further renewal of one of the eight tracks off the album. for instance utrecht, netherlands based multi-instrumentalist and producer pitto gets down to work to morph the song into an eight-minute spheric techno extravaganza. some sort of a teaser for his upcoming album on sonar kollektiv later this year (although it will sound completely different). also releasing an album on sonar kollektiv in 2015 is producer marlow from weimar. his voodoo version of “chaingang” draws nearer to the original and incorporates the jubilee style gospel chanting to a hypnotically impelling rhythm. at the right time at the right place this remix will cause outmost frenzy on the dancefloor.

title track is a beautiful and epic journey in techno soul quite rare to hear these days, reminding a bit of early nineties detroit/uk techno and even some of the early speedy j works, all with nowadays production skills. stunning contemporary techno the classic way. then from heaven to hell with 60606, an evil distorted acidic drum track guaranteed to damage kids brains worldwide. but no time to think long anyway cause theres we only have, an autistic out-of the-box jack track providing a sneaky tool for the more adventurous dj. this will separate the gurners from the dancers. top-notch showcase by the unstoppable man-machine that is marco bernardi!

002 of the analoq musik vinyl only imprint comes from up and coming producer jerome.c with two flawless remixes from stuart hawkins and max j & coockies to complete the ep. first supported by fuse head honcho enzo siragusa @ tini & the gang - these dance floor filling tracks have gone on to be supported across the globe by some of the industries biggest names. effortless grooves, intricate percussion, housey synths and catchy vocals - these tracks are simple master pieces set to take many more dance floors this spring/summer by storm

the swindlers return and not a minute too soon as far as were concerned! the hardest working duo in house music have had a mental couple of years playing every club and festival known to man, having babies, seemingly buying up the entire stock of vintage studio gear off ebay and thankfully knocking out some banging tunes on top of all that. well all club bangers gratefully received here at freerange so with open arms and ears were happy to be bringing you the figure of speech ep.
