another artist from berlin, who cares? we do! simply because this talent need some more exposure and not because of this hometown. his sound differs from the so called berlin sound, fresh and kicking classic techno with two amazing originals called aweheh and that s it . exactly! and as we love talents we invited to have french uprising technoyoungsters m.a.d.a. & plankton on board to deliver a slightly darker approach on aweheh to make it fit also on the dark chambers of berlin techno clubs.

one of the biggest human resources consists of getting possession of ones own ego, carrying it through a path made of liberty, movement, rhythm and communication: soundpark wants to be a part of this and offers something different, to discover.
the fourth vinyl release on this surprising label from italy is delivered by stefano lotti and edunetto. it also includes three remixes of dave manuel, daniel sanchez as well as el mundo & satori. this ep explores different styles and has already received early support by some important djs and media around the world. enjoy this one and stay tuned for more smashing releases on soundpark.

there it is, keinemusik number seventeen. we know what you are thinking. you think you know how it works. you think, those keinemusik fellas will again be doing their little rotation thing, one producer getting a record out after the other, then a workparty-joint venture at some point and then it starts all over again. au contraire! this seventeenth edition is breaking the known beautiful, perfectly curled cycle. just like that, so that no one gets bored. this record here is an appetizer for a collaboration-effort between rampa, &me and nomi, the new york based singer that provided the recent movement of flamboyant disco-queerness with its sexiest and catchiest hooks, teaming up with hercules & love affair and doing her own project jessica 6. side b will take care of everyone who is expecting a safe playing house-rehash of the afore mentioned acts and tenderly let a lashing snare slap every preconception out of sceptic faces.

rummage in some boxes of my favourite record store i found a cover that made me curious. l kubic & tagträumer² - the only thing in this world and on the flipside a remix by alle farben. when placing the needle at the beginning of the vinyl the first sounds were very strange. i thought that must be a record from the 60s lost in the tech-house box but than a straight beat turned everything different. a piano melody slowly sat down firmly in my ear and i was longing to know where the journey takes me. after a while an acidline pushed everything and i was sure at this time this is not a normal 4/4 tech-house record. alle farben remixed the themes very playful and i heard that he gives the elements more pressure for the club. so at the end i bought this one and i cannot imagine taking this unique record ever again out of my record case.

limited to 300 - no barcode! interesting and hot new label from jena. very special organic sound, partly slowpaced partly with a definite eye on the floor but allways with dirt heavy bass and tantalising electronic extrafunk approach , some trks w. strong dark vocals reminding on alton m. ! sick…

eight tracks from one of the worlds leading up and coming producers on two 12 inches in a picture sleeve. initially coming from a background in the musically raucous worlds of 2 step and garage, synkro has, over time, developed a sound that is altogether more introspective, more emotive and more emotionally complex. stepping up here with his second release on legendary apollo records, synkro delivers eight tracks that - while retaining some of the stutter and swing of garage, are far more rooted in the textural world of ambient music for which apollo is famed.

we are super stoked to have this killer ep out on local talk as we have been big fans of both c.r.s.t. and chesus productions for good while now. as these guys are down with both house music and the uk garage scene we get served an ep that combines the best of both styles. the result is a jacked up house release that would work equally well at the classic new jersey zanzibar club or in your dirty london basement club. the first three tracks (monster munch, newark and life) takes us on a deep and jackin house trip with a bouncy garage twist. but to stir things up a lil extra the last track (special) goes all disco with some soulful philly samples ... perfect for the southport weekender crews!

king street return with some gorgeous afro deep house vibes mixes from louie vega & sis. pressed on limited orange vinyl.

we are proud to say that the sampler for the magnificant the dark defender album is one of the most energetic outputs on the citrus label thusfar. these two tracks are already in high demand and will float around for a while after its releasedate. btk delivers some excellent remix work on the b side. on the a side you find heat one of the most slamming tracks on the album.

while sam barker & andreas baumecker are spending time on the road with their impressive hardware live set (during which they fuse tracks from their debut album *transsektoral* with new dancefloor burning material), some of their closest peers have been busy on their own re-workings, resulting in four tracks from their album in new, exciting flavours.

the e.p kicks off with she can dance, a slow burning acid number that has elements of deep, grooving house from the detroit school. in fact, the second cut low control bares the influence of detroit too, with its murky, dubbed-out chords ala luke hess moving into a punchy bassline with minimal but functional drum patterns. proceedings get a bit more bouncy on the smoking hat, a quirky acid romp on the less daft side of ceephax, and the perfect soundtrack to accompany a feature-length documentary about.... a smoking hat. finishing up the e.p is fudge fingas remix of low control, the only man qualified to make an already deep as fuck track even deeper. theres been some on-point criticisms about a lot recent deep stuff getting lost in noodly jazz territory, but we are in no danger of that nonsense with fudge fingas at the controls: accomplished a musician he may be, hes never been one to lose the way, and this mix proves his deft and subtle remix talents. dabj done done it again, and hopefully this is the first in a long line of productions from vernon.

new music from the swedish junkyard guys. mr tophat and art alfie delivering two modern house jackers with a little touch of that nordic touch that aways seem to balance things and bring some open space in the music.

for our 7th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by one of th ebest deep house producer right now : adryiano. hes a music lover and vinyl enthusiast from cologne germany rooted somewhere inbetween the 90s house sub-genres. pretty much into vintage gear when it comes to productions using 90s hardware like the mpc 2000xl. he has already released a brillant ep on soul notes recordings. this ep is clearly made for the new jerseyish deep house heads. old scool vibe with some serious banging kicks and an incredible groove. such an ep just demonstrate how on top of their game skylax / wax classic is right now - big tip!

following the first release on my lit label is from the quite brilliantly named, bebop & rocksteady. this might be a new name to some but the guys behind this project are lukes anger & ben mallott. after playing catalunya throughout the year i felt this tune needed to see a release, its just so f***ing good. its response on the dancefloor was devastating. anyone who has seen me dj recently would remember this one in my set, it gets a massive reaction once that drop comes in. i will still be playing this all year, a proper slice of good wonky techno. -addison groove

sons and daughters follow up their silver spell / optimo remix package with a second 12 inch. this time round they focus on orion, taken from their latest album mirror mirror, which was afforded universal critical acclaim on release last year and described by q as a creative rebirth. the 12 inch features 3 mixes kicking off with the emperor machine remix, the solo project of andy meecham from chicken lips. next up psychedelic occultist umberto giving it some strange brew with his mix, and wrapping up the package are glaswegian djs wrong island with their own particular take on the track.

forth in the hot waves compilation series kicks off the new year in style with this eight track vinyl double pack with some hot, hot licks! the hot creations offshoot has gone from strength to strength and this hot waves volume does little to disappoint.

since its inception in 2001, each entry in the pop ambient series has included its year of conception in its title, an irony in the fact that many consider the music being timeless in more than one way: a feel-good classic to some, a rigorous experiment to others, pop ambient always has located itself between the poles of habitual listening and sonic curiosity, with the space in-between beats being a way more interesting material than the beat itself. as in the years before, pop ambient 2013 collects an illustrious cast of producers uniting genre pioneers alongside old friends and some surprising new arrivals.
the 12 inch vinyl comes with a cd-copy of the full album.

after appearances on werkstoff and kammer musik neal white is back home on eintakt records with a quite playful while straight ahead thinking 12 inch. we start off deep underwater with the title track, a melancholic dubtechno drifter with a touch of pop called goldfish. enjoyable pianos, a rainy atmosphere, some classic chords and that tasty voice by klavinora make that track a proper name giver. after that wet a-side we come up afloat facing the livefish remix from rhauder (famous artist on the great label ornaments) on the other vinyl side, a reduced (even a bit) stoic floor operator, driving us through the confusions of the autumn sea. coming ashore and meeting queen ema is peaceable after all that. conciliating with the world and weather while getting surrounded by warm pads, curly effects and again the piano hints played by klavinora

uk don james johnston and german champ alex agore once again come together on their hot-to-trot no matter what imprint to lay down the law on their righteous tributes to vintage house music. johnston delivers some dreamy garage swing on >think about u everyday<, and takes things deeper on >do u understand?< by drawing you in with an alluring chord line that purrs at the heart of the track. agore is in equally feisty mood with some textbook vocal turns over his >in my soul< workout, and then switches up for a breezy, carefree wriggler in the form of >in your arms<

alex niggemanns 2012-defining long player paranoid funk dropped in june to a rapturous response from djs, dancers and home listeners alike. here, poker flat recordings revisits some of the exceptional highlights of that record, and deliver a remix package sure to be as equally sought-after by those in the know. ‘paranoid funk saw the berlin resident explore a variety of grooves and textures, an experiment that won him many new admirers and a great deal of critical acclaim

the hardworksoftdrink guys cedric dekowski and felix reifenberg got together with their old friend marius rademacher, aka macher and created some serious sounds, which really speak for themselves.
these young rookies from mainz offer a peak into their strong three track ep on 87. the experimental bass bomb >sessionyo< speaks to all sound-o-files as well as the very different but clubby >tesai<, which has proven its popularity and effectiveness on many a dancefloor.
the b-side is dedicated to the rolling epic that is >sofaga<, with a combination of crisp, crunchy beats with beautiful, psychedelic harmonies.

the fiakun label teams up with the highly talented piek, who together with samuel fitch & mianyo delivers some superb disco infected house in the shape of hemingway. fiakuns last release saw the spanish label drop the excellent voodoo by mexican producer cesar coronado, a record which caught the attention of djs such as huxley, maceo plex & ralph lawson.

here we have the ridiculously massive breakthrough track finally available on jolly wax. on the flipside, for your extra dancing pleasure dj kaos take the song into new spacey places chicago electrofunk excursions, with an hyponotic bassline and some killer synths. already getting play from dj harvey, idjut boys, prins thomas, and more. full power to the floor

the second part of the >what about talk about< series by baaz starts with >owls night<. a deep house tool with a vigorous bassline, some classic 909 elements, weird vocals and a pumpin piano chord. >those things< the second track on the a, infects you with positive vibrations and the magic mood. the b side enters with a remix by the highly skilled producer michel bauman under his moniker soulphiction. he turned the track called k.m.s. into an emotional and strong kicking house tune. a cut for the special moments. the original is produced by iron curtis & baaz . 90 bpm, a dippy pipe organ, wooden beats and shaky percussions. the last track >whatabouttalkabout< is a lush experimental listening slice, prober for the dark and chilly winterdays.

taiki and nulight or to their friends rowan harrington and erka chinbayer have both been djing/producing for many years both in very different circles. taikis career started back in 2008 under his old alias name site 1 who was a house/electro producer. they joined forces and started working together in 2011 which now seems like a lifetime ago considering on what they have achieved in such a short time. when they first started out working together they were making a lot of dubstep, house and electro influenced bass music as we call it now. being heavily into garage, house and electronic dance music there sound heavily progressed across the spectrum of dance music. taiki and nulight released their first ep in february 2012 on subway recordings which gained a lot of support from the likes of mistajam, crookers, herve zinc, redlight, foamo, roska, benga, skream, adam f, hatcha, n type and more. gaining them a lot of frequent airtime on bbc radio 1, 1xtra, kiss 100 and rinse fm. now nearly a year and a half since they have joined forces, they have received massive support from some of the most respected djs out there not to mention air time nearly every week on radio 1 and kiss 100. with their next release on the horizon and due to drop december time 2012 on bengas very well respected label benga beats there is so much more that you will see from these boys and so much new material to hear.

luc who? marianni? this reclusive french composer paved the underground music history with a handful of mind-blowing lps but still managed to surprisingly fall under the radar. even the experts seem to have forgotten about him when there were clues all over the place! it is true luc marianni didnt belong to no family but his own, with his constant work-in-progress through the gathering of friends and the odd random musical chance meeting.
it is therefore with great pleasure that we offer for the first time in decades the scarce remaining stock of original copies from his first and last vinyls, hoping to turn some heads along the release of the remix ep on ddd records: ddd-lmr-t01 with remixes of jared wlison (detroit), dam mantle (glasgow) and nukubus (rotterdam).

das trio (jimmy, chuck und ryan) aus brooklyn, new york gehört mit nude beach zu den ersten signings von other music. mit ihrem album ii , welches vor power nur so strotzt und american-rock-fans begeistern wird, wurden sie bereits in diesem jahr von spin unter die besten 5 best new artists gewählt. ihre zeitlosen songs erinnern stark an tom petty und paul westerberg.

the 2nd longplayer from beach house as double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold sleeve, cd-copy of the full album included.

with its various compilation series, plan b recordings helped introduce some of todays underground heroes to the dance music community, including amir alexander, g. marcell, and marshallito. the label is back with a compilation featuring some brand new names to the label, including our first release by a japanese artist (takenawa) and an emerging producer from the chicago area (mauser)

these redux releases are like buses, we dont hear anything for ages then they hit us with three killer eps in a row. following the grand corporation and machete savane comes the return of phoreski. we have not heard much from phoreski for a little while, but you will soon hear why when you put the needle to the record on these two new tracks. he has been busily building up his studio into an enviable aladdins den of vintage kit, wires and analogue recording equipment. all synths and vocals you hear on these tracks come from phoreski, no samples, no guests, no edits. he has been hinting at this raw, analogue authentic sound for a while, but these tracks showcase a producer at one with the machines. >brown biscuits< comes across like some lost italo/cosmic gem, but via the north east of england rather than the lakes of italy. >machines< flexes tight proto-house rhythms with some bass that will make mince meat of lesser club soundsystems whilst the feuding synth lines fight for attention. this is proper body music, play loud!

is it balearic hit their late 20s with another superb release - this time craig bratley steps up with analogue dreams. craig has earnt quite a reputation from only a handful of releases, including the weatherall favourite and classic cut >birdshell< on instruments of rapture. on analgue dreams, craig lays down a gently evolving, acid tinged piano slow burner, all mood and melody. first up on the remix we have the ever essential bonar bradberry who amps things up and takes a clonking bass riff down the disco for a real good time. on the flip crimea x pare the musical elements right down and build an epic remix from the raw ingredients, employing live percussion and shimmering synths. finally joes bakery dial down the tempo and incorporate some deft acoustic guitar and gentle moodswings alongside the musical elements of the original.

the third and final part of prime numbers trusme remix series. once again berlin is in the house with berghain master ben klock taking the trusme classic >w.a.r dub< into deep & dark dancefloor territory. in his inimitable style all is condensed into a tightly worked & clinical production. the groove is meticulously worked into making for some hypnotic techno. klocks compadre & panorama bar resident ryan elliot takes on >nards<, stripping back its parts to an insistent & organic piece that that builds to the end. vakula completes the set with a tough reworking of >need a job<. unremitting acid moves bend around a heavyweight break with increasing intensity. serious dancefloor material.

without revealing too much, this tasty sampler is a prequel to some very nice things ahead. for now, we can treat you to two music box inspired edit tracks. ... tip! essential stuff!

we_ctrl do it again with some serious 90s vibes from label boss tomson. also includes a mix from wolf musics medlar.

recently a series of very limited and mysterious 12inchs by jorge velez popped up in stores around the globe - rush hour chased the artist and now offers a selection (which includes exclusive tracks) on this double lp, seriously decent electronics that ooze nostalgia (we hear afx, larry heard, drexciya in there to, name a few) all with a genius twist...tip!

lowriders is back after a well deserved summer break and the massiv doshy release. aleph, russian youngster, ivan erofeev, who has travelled form siberia via omsk to st. petersburg delivers a fab ep moving between styles. it is a bit house, some boogie flares, it is crooked as a hoop but for most fresh. aleph released on the great canadian label king deluxe two acclaimed digital eps with a big remix from distal on the last one. limited release of 200 numbered copies.

edec lashes back with some raw techno from alexander d niel. this young argentine has been on the cusp and breath of techno heavyweights the past year. edec007 is no different with a stricter form to the words underground techno. from one new talent to another as we also welcome bostons young techno heroes b-tracks. known for killer sets at panorama bar and their releases on supply records, the duo decide to revamp things up twice. double the pleaser double the fun.

burkhardts latest stroke, including the hit delight. now we are back again with a charming selection of remixes, including work by tobi neumann and julien veniel aka djulz. tobi neumanns remix reminds the attentive listener to the old days of oslo. it is so to speak on the point. its light, but still complex in a special way. tobi carefully unhinged the catchy vocals of delight, added it at some points and put his glance over it. the b-side is home to djulzs interpretation of pianissimo. a dark and powerful house track, that finds its glory in its simplicity. a subtle piano sample is the basis for a forward moving drum pattern. here and there an eerie vocal shot rises and guides the dancer through the musical mind of djulz.

boris bunnik goes under many aliases. numerous smaller projects, some huge faceless projects but mostly known and well respected for his conforce project. as versalife he found his way to the clone familia for his night time activities project, and around this same period we just managed to pull out the best suitable tracks for frustrated funk. versalife is electro-techno in its purest form. deep and intense analog rhythms with crisp percussion patterns slightly touching the more experimental side of things. this ep is a nice balanced mixture of industrial drone material to more classic sounding electro with versalifes own signature strength. highly recommended as always!

nice price deal !!! we are glad to welcome two gladiators of the slow-house game to our comfortable little home. behling and simpson have turned quite some heads over the last year with great efforts on their homelabel futureboogie recordings and bristol based applepips. with their recognizable slow but jacking sound they have now come up with a mesmerizing 3 track counting ep which covers different sides of their varying flavours.
