lake haze returns to one eyed jacks for the definitive launch of his “aranhas” series - a run of releases themed around a fascination with spiders and gut-wrenching, rave-crushing dance music. tracks such as “rush hour” (a sort of proto-aranha) and “aranha negra” are now available for the 1st time on vinyl, paired with the highly anticipated oej anthems “aranha de prata” and “aranha vermelha” - standout tracks in the sets of photonz and violet in recent months. it’s not all about brute force here though, on top of his trademark slowed down gabba kick drums, lake haze lays some of the most emotional melodic lines you’ll hear in a rave anytime soon, bringing true lisbon melancholy to the fore in a truly unique way. grab ’em while you can.

with this ep best works records would like to pre-sent a new artist - luis junior. no stranger to the game! madrid-based luis junior has been a dj and music producer for more than 20 years. in 1993 he re-leased his first 12-inches starting to build a disco-graphy of genre-defying music that pushes forever forward, designing new stylistic frameworks and breaking new artistic ground with each successive production. luis has grown into one of the most cut-ting edge and inspiring artists in spanish electronic music. his versatile production skills are clearly displayed here from soulful and folkloristic influences to techno. the first track on the ep “don’t give up on me” fea-tures singer sobi thurairatnam with sultry vocals and a stong pop-appeal. d-nox and beckers tranform it into a club burner for the early hours. floidos on the back-side is more of techno-orientated banger and with pasion luis junior manages to integrate some spanish flamenco sounds without getting to obvious.

jex opolis presents: in the nite---look at my car!,- a versatile new ep featuring three cosmic cuts from jex and ian d. knight, a st. louis-based performance artist. knight features most prominently on the compass point-tinged -look at my car!,- a paean to the joys of both consumerism and rampant motorism. on the flip, jexy whips out the strat for some chic-inspired licks on the chugging -guitar sands,- with the italo-bumping 120 bpmer -rimini nites- along for the ride, too.

javier orduna grew up with the sound of legendary punk associates like the bad brains, joy division or dead kennedys. but already in the 80s he was dedicated to acid house and the techno of detroit which brought an inspiring vibe to his frst productions. an infuence you can still hear in his recent works. emerging into barcelona s vibrant electronic music scene in the early 2000ers with residencies e.g. at the legendary moog club orduna was soon touring clubs around the world and releasing his output on visionquest, viva music or moda black. what brought him to jeudi were his undeniable production skills and his big warm and crazy heart. for our 26th release we are proud to have him on board with this stunning 4 tracker defnitely will fnd some lovers out there.

legendary nyc dj / editor danny krivits story in contemporary dance music is a long and storied one. dannys got to be one of the hardest working men behind the decks right now with an international rep and dj schedule truly befitting of his time spent making us dance over the last 45 (!) years. it makes perfect sense then, that one of the most seminal disco labels of all time would call upon mr. ks sharp editing skills when reappraising some of the jams from their extensive catalogue. tk disco is the label in question here and they ve let danny loose on a pair of dance-floor burners that all disco heads will be familiar with.

marquis hawkes sound ranges from club-ready weapons of slamming and sleazy to swinging and acid-laced, beholden to vintage us house music and jacking dance floor jams. after the monumental success of his debut album social housing, a recent live boiler room appearance, resident advisor mix and a 9/10 album review in mixmag, marquis hawkes returns with an absolute beauty of a package alongside the indisputable queen of rnb & soul, jocelyn brown. the release also includes two remixes from producers at the top of their game, house legend paul woolford and close friends, polish duo catzndogz, each tackling the crystal clean house anthem im so glad turning in monumental dance anthems which will be heard across dance floors for some time to come. cut and mastered by matt colton at alchemy mastering.

billing themselves as crew of beat junkies raised in the legendary sugar shack studio,difusion make their first appearance on their own label in style with some righteous edits that make some decisive cuts where it counts for pure dancefloor dynamite. losing me is more of a rolling breakbeat inflected house workout with a deadly delay treatment on the vocals that drops in at just the right time to surely set a club off at any hour. get up is a more sultry cut but it still hits heavy, and be truthful and change it both offer up differing soulful angles to make this a highly versatile record for all kinds of situations.

(white vinyl with grey splatter) we are proud to add a new member to the baum family. sascha rydell of fachwerk fame has produced two powerfull tracks for is debut release on baum. a day ward has dubby elements, and a modulating groove perfect for the dancefloor. crack willow is a more deep and atmospheric track close to a deep house vibe, which also gets some dirty raw treatment from resoe on his morning reshape remix.

while pheek may have been in operation for as long as anyone can remember within minimal house and techno, cleymoore has been most productive more recently thanks to his pluie/noir label. following on from last years seikou single on xquisite, here cleymoore and pheek link up to deliver some densely packed, production rich jams that keep the spirit of mid-00s clicks and cuts alive. the beats themselves may be slender slices that carry the energy of the tracks, but it s all in the infinitesimal details in between that the true magic of this music comes alive.

having held it down in miami for some, avstin frank is building his profile as a serious connoisseur of stripped down jams with this release for local label sports. isle of venice is a perfect morning-ready treat, all woozy synth tones and delicate percussive shuffle embellished with dubby treatment, while timeless travels sports a tougher structure without losing the heavylidded quality of the opening track. contemplation meanwhile taps into a little touch of french flair with its shuffling groove and jazzy undertones, making a neat foil to the other tracks on offer. gua camoles remix of isle of venice meanwhile takes a diversion into nagging, oddball minimalism for the crowd who like their beats chopped up.

rawax is very honoured to welcome a true house legend to the family. mr. roy davis jr joined forces with us to present some of his greatest releases re-mastered & back on vinyl! now its time for * the wild e.p. pt.2*

transmitting straight from the 10th floor of a beat-down rotterdam skyscraper is studio barnhus debutant mark fader. when hes not analyzing the bird life outside his studio window or contemplating matters of love, death and office management, fader enjoys churning out true school electro cuts with a modern edge and some extra fonk. we were lucky enough to catch four examples of this to put on record. vinyl only release because it felt good this time. studio barnhus is forever!

supported by oscar mulero, jonas kopp, the advent, zadig, blawan, pfirter. the fifth release on dimi angelis angls label is here, featuring four original tracks. opener eye of the storm v1 is all about its hook. powerful yet playful, its loopy nature masks raw, driving techno hiding underneath. a foundation that is also very much present in electric tree. the second banger on this side of the ep almost sounds like analog equipment in conversation with itself. trippy, moving and constantly changing. on the flipside, speed boarding is growling lead synth propels the track forward, opening up and showing a glimpse of its contained grit every now and then. closing down the four-tracker, eye of the storm v2 trades some of the raw feel of its a-side counterpart for a more introvert, subtle vibe, making it.

the motorcity boys are back with loveit003 a fresh sounding 4 tracker strongly reflecting the diversity of styles found at their parties. lds kicks thing off with 909 to heaven, a jacking and balearic workout with a rootstrax, chicago style bassline keeping the floor hypnotised until the small hours of the morning. snares, kicks & rhodes is a more laid back jam. lazy warm pads and a slow winding sub bass rise and fall intermittently only to be interrupted by a lo-fi distorted bass that snaps you right out of that trance. nico brun opens the flip side with an absolute banger, hazily reminiscent of that 90’s warehouse rave. lds and nico brun close the ep with an atmospheric collaboration perfect to start or end the night with. splashy beats keep up the footwork whilst pulsating synth sounds slowly wind together and drop with a beautifully crafted sample that’s guaranteed to bring some sexyness back to the dance floor. this ep will definitely be a regular addition to your record bag to spread those warm summer party sounds. bruno farace early support: xdb (echochord / dolly): debut ep? congrats! end monologue is my favourite.

mono junk’s cult label dum records is back with a new five track various artists ep that again packs a vital punch. he appears himself along with some fellow legends of the scene. first up, morpholgy is a consistent performer who has continued to serve up quality electro since 2009 and here serves up a hot new piece. ‘vector plant’ is busy and industrial, slick and metallic as it unfolds and burrows deep into your veins. then comes the a2, irwin berg featuring freestyle man (aka finnish moodmusic boss sasse aka klas lindblad) with a track made in 1995 and never released before. this pair worked together and made a cult electro record for sähkö recordigs in 1998 and this one is just as impactful. it is frosty and frazzled, slow motion but high impact and full of distorted lines and heavy drums. next is mr velcro fastener who were the first kings of electro to come out of finland and between 1999 and 2006 were famous all over the world. their brand new cut ‘almost there’ is a deep one that is riddled with bleeping melodies and has smeared chords bringing a sci-fi feel. then it is mono junk’s turn to dive into the vaults with an unreleased track from 2005. ‘feeling or destroy’ is a physical number with crashing hits and snaking, gurgling bass that is dark and dystopian. last of all comes irwin berg with mono junk as new york city survivors. says the dum boss, “our unreleased track here was made after the new york city survivors – static light cd 2002” and it is a turbo charged track with screwed up grinding bass, icy hi hat rhythms and menace in its grooves.

vinyl only , the inaugural release comes from sandro kuhne, resident and owner of sbz and sbr, he provides two cuts for the genetic impression ep, two tech house grooves, subtle in their arrangement but powerful in the low end, effective dance floor movers. providing the remix is romanian duo livio & roby, who need little introduction and deliver a solid mix, true to their name. sunday breakfast records: sunday breakfast zurich has firmly established its name as a recognised clubbing event in the european house and techno scene, over the past years it has steadily built up its brand around a strong sound with quality line ups and a resident roster of exceptional home grown talent, that continues to raise the bar with each of its unique events. sunday breakfast records is an extension of this by where its resident artists are put forward to showcase the sbz sound that has become synonymous with their parties. each release will carry the signature sound from a member of the roster as well as from some of the regular guest djs who have played with the party label over the years.

foql is belonging to the same polish electronic music collective as marburg (see gooiland 10: v/a – club funny horse) but the sound of this project is truly different… in a way the hypatia ep is delicate and even fragile maybe… it has the ritual feeling like some of the music by coil has… next to that it has textures reminiscent of the future sound of london… and in some ways foql fuses ambient, electronix and techno in the same way kobosil sometimes does… in short.. this is a record for well informed and well educated music lovers.
limited 150 copies.

having previously turned out some refined club tracks for friendly neighbourhood label banoffee pies, christian jay comes to idle hands for his debut solo 12inch. as revealed in our past support of artists such as i.a. bericochea and matt karmil, an appreciation of the finer end of the minimal house and techno spectrum weighs heavy at idle hands hq, and christian embodies everything good about the micro-genre. the stylistic approach on this single is consistent across both tracks, fusing shuffling, 2-step fuelled drum patterns with blissful atmospheric content in a most natural of ways. on 117 this manifests in a more flamboyant end result peppered with playful hi-hat tones and delicate melodic licks, while on contrail the mood is resolutely low-end focused with some choice bass touches in amongst the tightly wound funk of the beat. what makes jay s efforts stand out is their immersive finish, using dexterous doses of dub processing to create a quintessentially bristolian mood while retaining the razor-sharp edges of upfront european minimal. its a tone that speaks to limbering up at the start of the party, or shaking down deep into the morning. that said, we could listen to this all day and night.

for its sophomore release, vinyl only record label, modeight prepares a special va: “modification 01” that firmly establishes the label’s unique fingerprint in putting out some of the finest minimal cuts in the eastern european underground circuit. this collection is ready to go right out of the sleeve for the best afterhours around the world.

repress !!absolutely flawless boogie sounds on nycs sam records from 1982, greg henderson s -dreamin- was licensed from the tiny rain records label and no doubt gained some invaluable exposure to the early 80s post disco club scene that was in full swing at that time. breezy, soulful, sweet and most importantly of all funky, dreamin is an absolute pleasure to the ears. greg henderson only released a handful of records during his career (including the incredible henderson & whitfield - dancing to the beat) and was also involved in the production of some other classic boogie rarities (masterforce -dont fight the feeling, rome jeffries good love).dreamin has always been a sought after record, often fetching collectors prices of £100 - £200 a time. a sublime cut for all lovers of disco, boogie, funk and modern soul. now made available again, legitimately licensed, remastered and reissued in conjunction with sam records new york city.

nice price deal !!! it s been a big shock for all of us to hear the sad news that our good friend andreas gehm passed away this year. his last big project is the -worldwide electronics- - series on his own label -cologne underground- which brings his friends from all over the world together. the idea of „worldwide electronics“ is to combine music from all over the world on one album (in fact, there will be a vol.2 too). the second idea was to combine well known artist with newcomer. when gehm, who runs cologne underground together with dbh distribution, ask the artist for tracks, he don’t ask for any specific style. the artist were free to deliver whatever they want. so at the end it ended up from deep house (oldschool definition, not edm definition) to acid. „worldwide electronics vol.1“ contains one track from greece (dimdj), germany (hardfloor), netherlands (baz reznik), england (perseus traxx), columbia(s.valencia) 2 tracks from japan (takeshi kouzuki and jin-cromanyon) and the first of hopefully a row of collaboration tracks from legowelt (netherlands) and elec pt.1 (germany) as „gehm & wolfers).

daniel meuzard aka feater originally hails from a small mountain village in the western austrian alps. the music producer with north african roots calls vienna his home for quite some time now. for more than ten years he has been involved in electronic music and working with analog synthesizers and classic tape recording. as an owner of a studio equipment shop he was able to get his hands on a wide variety of equipment. experimenting with different instruments and recording techniques helped him to develop his own musical ideas. in 2013 he released the 7inch vinyl single digital love on paradeis garage. in february 2015 he recorded his debut album waste the time on a 8track tape recorder and finalized it together with the producer and recording engineer sam irl in the summer of 2015. as a member of the finishgermanaustrian group skymax (along with stilettiana & sam irl) he released the vinyl ep trucker trans on his own label called international major label

early electronics by a.k.klosowski made available again through felix kubin s galgarin records label! long before digital sampling was affordable for everyone, a.k.klosowski invented his kassetteninstrument, a custom-made music apparatus consisting of eight sony-walkmen combined with a mute/demute mechanism. the outputs of the instrument could be controlled both by hand and by an automatic trigger module. in addition, a drum computer and some effect machines were fed into the circuit. this technique allowed for very intuitive and simultaneous control over the analogue tape sources.

increasingly known for his productions as much as his storied dj sets, eric cloutier approaches the studio with the same kind of precision that marks out his club and festival appearances. on this first release on palinoia he exercises a keen sense of control over playful elements, not least on lead track -heuristic-. the nagging lead synth may hop around the mix, but it stays locked on to a thoroughly focused undercarriage of drums and low end that suits the professional techno set. -ipseity- is lighter in its demeanour thanks to some calming pad tones, but the strong structure of the track remains. the release rounds up with the slower thump of -opprobrium-, surmising cloutier s attitude to the warm-up part of a serious, long-lasting dj set.

it s not often that you get to see alan oldham stepping out under his own name. the legendary detroit artist is more commonly spotted as dj t-1000 (or designing iconic artwork for techno labels) but this time around he s sharing some more house-minded delights for finale sessions. -don t take me- is a haunting, mystical slice of deep house that fits into the finale narrative perfectly, while -wild- too offers up a distinctive approach that manages to be both refined and yet imbued with that detroit roughness. -breathe- may well be the best jam on the record, dealing in subtle threads of melody that conjure up the perfect dubby 4/4 confection.

the second chapter of the various artists serie -obscura europa s.a- is here. synth based -dark band sound- on its maximal exposure. from brazil to belgium, passing by switzerland, poland and australia, this serie presents some of best darkwave hymns uncomprehensively not pressed on vinyl to date. all tracks have been analogically remastered specially for this vinyl version by eric van wonterghem.

digging deep into the annals of gospel now, the name pastor tl barrett should be familiar to the eagle eyed crate diggers amongst you. an extremely colourful character from chicagos southside neighbourhood who found himself on the wrong side of the law for his involvement in some activities of a dubiously illegal nature, more importantly, besides this the pastor was widely known for his community activism and positive sermons preaching love and responsibility.

back in 2015 our bearded dirtybird player, will clarke, needed a secret weapon for some of his festival gigs for the summer. he sampled the ghetto house legend, dj funk, who made an appearance on dirtybird back in 2013 for the kill frenzy smash, “make that booty clap”. will passed it on to the rest of the dirtybird crew, and before we knew it the track took a life of it’s own and quickly became one of the most requested tracks, even to this day. will ended up linking with dj funk himself, and they turned what was a quick bootleg into a full blown collaboration. ladies & gentlemen, “booty percolatin’” is officially here. for the flip side, we added will’s solo effort “house girl”, a bumpin’ ride with a contagious bassline and chanting vocals for all the ‘house boys’ and ‘house girls”
