over the last year i have traveled to canada frequently for gigs and got to know the small but healthy electronic music scene there. cities like montreal, vancouver and toronto have brought forth many established artists over the past few years, such as egyptrixx, azari & iii, basic soul unit, jacques greene, lunice and sixtoo, but 2012 has seen a new breed of no-nonsense house and techno producers come up via labels like turbo recordings and naked lunch. this *dovercourt ep* features three very talented producers: kevin mcphee, nautiluss and gingy. their tracks are a dedication to their hometown of toronto. being removed from the house/techno epicentres of berlin and london, these three are much less interested in what is fashionable or trendy, and more in bringing us straight to the point, no frails jacking house music. i have been playing these three extensively in my dj sets, and i hope you will too. so out to toronto, this one is for you! enjoy. martyn

today we bring you the return of atelewo (osunlade & the pasta boys) with a classic follow up to the already well known label staple new day. this time we move a little further with a more percussive, brass driven soul song about what else but love. infinity proves to continue with solid production and sound of the teams collaborative efforts. sendai is a simple mood based groove honoring and acknowledging the loss in the tsunami of 2011. a simple gesture of remembrance this one adapts a local newscaster explaining the devastation and sorrow. as always we here at yoruba hope that this new release not only starts the new cycle of 2013 off well, but that it brings forth a new direction. enjoy!
vs take on house music comes at the listener from an outsiders perspective, as his native ukraine traditionally hasnt been a hotbed of this genre. consequently, his new album on nuearth kitchen, 13th district, hits your ears at an odd angle, as v (aka vakula, aka mikhaylo vityk) bends somewhat familiar tropes into fascinating, fresh shapes. clearly enamored of american funk, soul, and jazz, v recalibrates these familiar elements—the amino acids of house—into dream-logic, hypnotic scenarios that accentuate their visceral and cerebral qualities.
be be as one opens its 2013 with a new release from in-house talent sable sheep. this new ep features 4 tracks in between house and techno which solidify the german producer relationship with the label and his vision and interpretation of the be as one sound

3 chairs, omar s and patrice scott. this limited ep is testament to the wild basement energy that has culminated from these nights, beautifully pressed on wax for this first ever vinyl outing. remember is a swinging downbeat vocal track based around a superb vocal improvisation from newcomer chris raine. an ambitious opener, this is fine uk hip soul with warehouse dancefloor swagger to boot. next track, the benji b endorsed cookie strips the vocals right down into a swirling motif of sunrise energy. this track sounds great on the radio, but will also find favour on the more discerning soulful floors. for a contrast flip over for the kraftwerkian micro-tech of contact to hear what a werk party sounds like at a hazy-eyed 3am and finally, as if all this wasnt enough check out the dubby, spaced-out brawn of u&me which sees second outing for vocalist chris.... on this ep which rounds things off nicely. for fans of firecracker, exit records and prime numbers, this exciting and multi-faceted ep marries uk and detroit influences with consumate ease. one to watch... plays/ supported by benji b, rahaan, kev beadle, burnski, kevin reynolds etc.

after almost 4 years of silence tolcha are back with neustadt, another intense and suspensefully cinematic full-length lp. like the title of the record suggests, the berlin based four piece decided to pursue a neo-retro vision of a sonic after-future with this one. what does that mean? the record clearly leans on a motorik aesthetic, but all the while redefining it with modern production techniques and surges of their very own breed of dub, rather than rehashing genre related cliches.
the a side arbitrary stakes out its intentions early with a solid groove and dubbed out stabs. a little vocal in the main breakdown increases the tension before it all kicks back in with a reassuring thud. on the flip galaxy high is equally deep but opts for some juno chords and soaring strings to bring it life. finally on lgb some 80s soul samples are worked in to a slightly tougher electronic jam.
dusty baron aka latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. a mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss vakula, his music, much like vs, sounds just as rooted in the post soviet russian landscape as it is in the post industrial north america which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of todays roots conscious electronic artists. vakula takes the controls on side a with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst side b showcases the barons heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. sides c & d (on bonus 7inch) see v step up to offer two takes on >follow shot<, continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism. a noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the dusty baron and his sound, and yet another installment in lelekas continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.

zierliche dame mit gewaltiger soul-stimme geht auf reisen, macht bei befreundeten musikern station und kommt schließlich mit 4 stücken feinster tanzmusik auf dem acker an - so die zusammenfassung der aktuellen geschehnisse. tatsächlich handelt es sich hier um 3 unabhängige produktionen und einen remix, die zum song sunbelt regret von miss natnat entstanden sind. dementsprechend abwechslungsreich geht zur sache. wolfgang lohr entfaltet ein gewitztes wechselspiel zwischen klassischem song und elektronischem abgang, mal steht sein butterweicher house groove im vordergrund, dann wieder gehört das stereopanorama voll und ganz der stimme von miss natnat. zusammen mit tinush schlendert sunbelt regret noch etwas entspannter heran, hier kommen die loungigen pianosounds besonders gut zur geltung. wenig überraschend und doch immer wieder faszinierend. der zündende funk von mollono.bass, der in seinem remix einen schwerpunkt auf die ausdruckstarke stimme legt. die lübecker artenvielfalt macht ihrem namen schließlich alle ehre, indem sie miss natnat im kontext eines verträumten, hochgradig melodiösen grooves präsentiert.
