>he mentioned he was a house head, something about being old school<henry maldonado knows a thing or two about dance music. having made his mark in the 90s on strictly rhythm and maw, the new york native more recently delved into disco endeavors, both as one-half of native underground on wurst and under the shade, and also solo as son of sound on tirk, and now mystery meat.spirit catcher is peak-time filtered disco house action of the highest order. punchy drums, a huge bassline and massive floor-filling vocals do the damage every time. she rides takes the tempo down a notch, bringing that electro funk vibe you know all the kids were poppin and lockin to way back when.thanks in advance keeps things firmly in the 80s with affected female vox and killer arpeggios aplenty. mmmm, the meat sure is tasty this week!

first experiment by emg exploring the different possibilities of sound, seeking the relation between fhz, images and emotional states, condensed into 6 experimental tracks recorded live. 369 strictly limited copies released and available only on vinyl ... be sure to check >mass production< - a massive techno track.

its been 16 years since aquasky first started bashing out the beats on moving shadow and 10 years since they released the mind altering >777< on botchit & scarper. during these 16 years aquasky have messed about with most genres at most tempos... but always retaining their trademark bass and their retro rave vibes. and here we are... the first ep from their long awaited follow up album to >teamplayers< released on passenger back in 2006. going back to their tear-out roots and fully embracing the modern production sound of now along with a firm 140bpm footing, aquasky come out fighting. >raise the devil< is an albums worth of tracks that will awaken your inner devil... powerful, noisy, aggressive and militant. taking it back to the days when people partied hard in abandoned warehouses and muddy fields. but, i expect you know all of that already... its what aquasky do, and its what they do well!

killer hypnotic deep house groover !

the crazy brazilian is of brazilian decent, bringing his love of latin and house music together to create his own sound, and has been working with chris simmonds on various projects such as bakers dozen. the rodeo clown ep - 4 hard hitting tracks out on vinyl.

proper trax is proud to present its second 12 inch release – proper-002 - split personalities ii – keeping true to its title with another double feature of raw house and techno cuts. featuring a pair each from proper trax newcomers piltdown sound, and a reappearance from 001s will azada. staying true to its mission, proper trax is once again delivering focused, modern house and techno–with a pinch of nostalgic bite–built for the floor-minded listener.

this is mina records 9th release with masaya, label boss, finally in the spotlight on production, arrangement and singing duties. her first ep on her own label: >again / get you< both have a minimalist melancholy feel in the electro pop vein.
>again< is remixed by nhar, (frenchman who has just brought out his own ep on ripertons perspectiv label), giving it an 80s soft synth pop sound.
>get you< is remixed by yapacc, resulting in a deeply rhythmic tech-house stomper.
4 totally different tracks to suit various club contexts.

excellent vinylsampler with brilliant edits in a great variety... check the sound...

excellent groovin deep disco !!! decks tipp

vae victis records kicks off his records catalogue with a 4 tracks ep where raw house and techno get mixed up thru machines and then recorded on tape. the project, a 6 hands affaire, sees teaming up three of the most interesting artists of the moment: the analogue cops, duo already known for their imprint restoration records and for their moodymanns remix under the appointment moniker and blawan, the uk producer who saw his debuts released last year by imprints such as hessle audio, warp, r&s and soon on clone who represents, alongside fellows james blake, pearson sound a.k.a ramadanman and joy orbison, the young breed of talentented new uk producers. promising start for this new label!!

dikso continue to bring the good stuff with the sixth in their super sound single series!

continuing the exploration of bristol 4/4 variants, immerse proudly offers forth this decisive two-tracker from the prodigious mind of jacob martin, better know as hodge. you might be more familiar with hodge from his work as part of outboxx, who we proudly debuted on ime025. that said, he first surfaced last year with the deadly conjecture on another fine bristol institution, pollen. one thing rings true in any of the output hodge is associated with, melody. shirking the safety of sterile mechanics that so many producers hide behind, he tackles interplaying notes and harmonies with a fearless exuberance. opening track the fall kicks off on a jerky groove and ice-cold organ murmurs, gently easing in layers and clips of sound with the same joie de vivre as akufen and other micro-house progenitors. ‘crush’ kicks off on a more decidedly broken tip, keeping the twostep shuffle slow and easy as whispers of garage skip in between the warm pads. the overriding vibe on hodge’s ep is one of unpretentious, good times tunage.

pole recordings reaches its number 10 release, a work by oscar mulero. for this record, oscar has chosen to go for a more mental and elaborate kind of techno, lowering the bpms and softening his sound.

first a made up sound release in over a year, following up on the rear window excursion on delsin, the clone basement release and the 2562 fever lp. it features that >left-right track?< heard in many a 2562 / a made up sound dj-sets over the last months. the flip contains a piece of congealed frustration we had to get out of our system before it got worse, as well as the original beatless version of the a-side to calm down again, somewhat. already massive reactions from all the hot guns but of course decide for yourself!

former member of french duo lownza, lowris develops here his solo project futher. while his first record along with chris carrier received the highest praises, his presence on piemonts remix album, next to jay haze or uner, shows that lowris is gently tracing his own path in the electronic field. the >carambar de toi< ep gathers a collection of generous and warm deep house sonorities. spectral sound new recruit pawas is on remix duties for the title track of this third popcorn release. on his version, pawas blends pads, drums and guitars with a round driving bass. freshly signed on poker flat, is frenchman andrade who offers here a gliding reword of >jackin oz<. the original version is a subtle track structured by a frank bass and a distant sonar.

dc shows with his full 12 inch debut an outstanding spectrum of his talent.
side a contains deep and heavy bass sounds paired with an itching synthline. to say it in a few words, turn your speakers on and get ready to freak out. >vertical output< is definitely the uptempo cracker on this record!
side b comes with some different styles. >yorktown recreation< and >chocolate milk< are pure delight! microkorg extravaganza up to the sky, confused funk chords backed by insane jazz lines. these two bangers are arranged in the typical dorian concept manner and give a pretty good insight of his sound universe.

classic

escort have been setting dance floors ablaze with their disco-infused beats, irresistibly catchy hooks and seductive live show since releasing a series of 12 inch singles in 2006. the 17-member disco orchestra, founded by producers eugene cho and dan balis, and fronted by lead singer adeline michele, features an incredible cast of musicians who have played with everyone from indie-rock titans arcade fire to avant-classical luminaries alarm will sound. >cameleon chameleon< is a theatrical masterpiece about the french serial impostor frederic bourdin, set to a beat that is equal parts thriller and the tom tom club.

after 18 months of intense work in the studio shades of gray are finally ready to release their debut album >soul machine<. the duo have progressively established themselves over the years by releasing consistently solid tracks for labels such as neurotraxx deluxe, salted music, om records, dark energy, tronicsoul and of course their home label beef records. the album is a definite progression for sog, heading deeper into the sampling territory and drawing on whats come before to define their vision of the future sound of house music. reinterpreting influences from soul to disco through the sharpened lens of 2012 production, sog have delivered a stunning collection of tunes that have that instant classic feel that will remain relevant for years to come. this vinyl sampler features the title track soul machine with a deep interpretation by eric volta aka kid dub. on the flip side we have a party monster called back to the future with a huge disco/tech remix by peter horrevorts who has been doing really well lately with his releases on trapez, tronic and beef - special transparent vinyl pressing!

new 12 inch from theo parrish on his very own sound signature imprint.

ultraschall is an homage to the first big techno club in munich. the owners of harry klein were part of the old ultraschall, which has a unique legendary status nowa¬days. the older generation in particular often long for the good old days. yes those times shouldnt be forgotten, especially not in terms of sound, but its also important to move on and attempt new things. like supporting vinyl, going to a who¬lefood shop or ending war. ok that might sound like a bro¬ken record, but how about spending less time on facebook and actually with your friends, cooking for your parents or organizing a break dance battle in your backyard? daniel takes us on a journey through the past and back to the future again. a charming mixture of laid-back grooves combined with some rough n ready rave moments make this a rapturous trip, no matter what time it is. track names are a really interesting element of music. some artists dont care about them at all and call their tracks a1 or something non-descript. yet many titles can be really funny, others made up words, and some corre¬spond to current events or times. some just really fit the sound. if you lose something, in general its a pretty nasty and unsettling feeling. but you have to deal with bad luck when it strikes. losing something can teach you an im¬portant lesson, or simply show you what it means to be unfortunate and down. not knowing the lows as well as the highs wont allow you to evaluate life very well. most important is to really feel and be yourself, despite the ups and downs.

the two dubstep pioneers at the top of their game. the deadly concision, the rhythmic punch and dramatic timing, the spry, side-to-side detailing of a cavernous stage, the crisp-biscuit vocal sampling and middle eastern percussion — together, their sound signatures are not so much totalled as squared. truly an album, the music is multi-levelled — dark as anything at times, but engrossingly varied and emotionally shaded, always on the move.

third in the fabulous house sound series, curated by the one and only nicholas. featuring tracks by flavio vecchi, andy ash, deymare and fabio, with a nicholas bonus beats rework of andy ashs excellent house shore. very strong release - not to be missed!

space-electronic beats from saint petersburg. please welcome lyosha nocow. dope!

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

soul jazz records are releasing this latest studio one compilation which features non-step 100% stone-cold classic studio one killers! spanning 40 years of the legendary label, this album is a fitting tribute to clement >sir coxsone< dodd and is a who is who of jamaicaan reggae.

neon dreams is the debut album from london-based producer and night slugs co-founder james connolly, aka l-vis 1990. across 15-tracks and 55-minutes, james distils a lifetimes worth of musical influences and experiences while conveying the story of the last 12 months in his life through vocalists samantha lim and javeon mccarthy. 2010s *forever you* single, which featured mccarthy, was a key jumping off point in establishing the overall vibe of neon dreams. the track features here as a slimmed down, 3.5 minute version. this length represents approximately the average track-duration across the entire lp, and is indicative of james long-held desire to proffer an album in very much the traditional sense of the term. further vocal turns come from co-founder of the sound pellegrino imprint and french hip-hop outfit ttc, teki latex.

second release for the label created by darkcell. another step in the deep darkness of the modern techno, industrial, where the sounds come together to repetitiveness. sounds powerful but always hidden by a fog that makes the original track for a walk in our modern times. the remix of perc (perc trax, clr, etc.) makes the whole vision faster and stressful .. creating a set of rhythmic and repetitive sounds that destroy and alter any vision around ourselves. the version of bcr boys (nachtstrom schallplatten, darknet, etc.) has drawn much more syncopated, and industrial, the sound cut the atmosphere created by the syncopated rhythms ... a set of mysterious forces surrounding the whole track. power of darkness!

if you have ever heard a crunching roland system 100 bass line ringing in your ears at 5.00am in the morning, there is a good chance that it has been written by andy meecham. whether as emperor machine, sir drew, chicken lips or even bizarre inc his music rolls and waves in incredible ways and sheds light on all the probable combinations of familiar sounds. morning banger is certainly a hot potato! upon the first listen you are hooked in with the slightly aggressive korg delta drawing you in. the track builds and builds into a crescendo of beautiful tension and before you know it your brain is eagerly awaiting the next step of the journey.
