nach der überraschenderweise in und um europa hervorragend aufgenommenen pace ep von marvin horsch setzt das kölner kollektiv dorfjungs nun wieder neue akzente im Überfluss der dj-kultur. wir präsentieren voller stolz das debüt des 2014 erstmals aus dem schlafzimmer ins tageslicht tretenden motip white. motip white hat für seine 12- lywer bent vier knarzig-rohe hymnen produziert, in denen prollige house-elemente und sonnen- aufgangs-kitsch aufeinander treffen. wilde sounds und mittelfinger steuern so lange gegen die klassische technowelt, bis eine wunderbare rave-melancholie entsteht. nicht zu knapp greift moe in den pathos-topf, bedient sich an trash-samples und traut sich mutige breaks, in denen alle struktur auseinanderzufallen droht, um dann mit brachialer wucht einzuschlagen. abgerundet wird die ep durch einen warmen, schwebenden remix des osnabrücker ambient-zauberers cass.

a brand new, strictly limited edition 7inch and digital release from fresh up records, ed dmxs label that specialises in authentically old-school but never heard before synth funk, moog disco and library sounds.

nplgnn creates a less pampered style of body music, stripping away the usual signifiers such as melodies and bass lines to create something more utilitarian, brutal and pure. this is the pre-babel language of dance music - it s cadences are rhythmic and its meaning is comprehensible to all on an innate, primal level. even in its creation it revels in the archeology of electronic music, stringing analogue sounds into hypnotic patterns and subtly evolving loops to create a primordial sludge of acid house and techno.

slow town records has really picked up the pace this year, delivering essential 12- singles from riccio and qx-i, amongst others. here, they round of 2014 with an ep of positively edible deep house from fouk man hans peeman. in typical peeman fashion, there s plenty of soul to the liquid beats and rich chords of -prologue-, while -monologue- is an attractive saunter through classic detroit deep house with the restless energy of a chicago production. mr k-s remixes the title track, delivering a heavily percussive version that sounds like a plea to head towards the dancefloor, pronto. a touch darker and altogether heavier, it offers an excellent alternative to peeman s eyes-wide-shut original.

die neue fjaak-maxi ist wie ein bild, in dem die angenehmen sounds oben im stockwerk und die freakshow unten im kellergeschoss stattfinden. der stomper oben enthält ein cut-up des notorischen amen breaks und katapultiert den hörer und tänzer in einen tranceartigen zustand. unten steht für schweiß an der decke und halbnackte körper, die zu den resonanten sounds der kickdrum jacken. dazu noch eine hihat und einige claps - mehr ist nicht nötig. techno in seiner ursprünglichsten bedeutung!

the new ctf is here! with artwork shit and balearic bromance sounds. prinzenengel is alcoholic late 70s electro schnulzensound from the dusted juke box which is fed with d-marks by trannies and queens in a kreuzberg watering hole the other tahanah habahah is for your dancefloor happiness moments. really ill. available on 45rpm vinyl including limited edition artwork poster print.

music that keeps your body busy on the dance floor while it takes your mind to exotic places far away: timboletti creates a tense atmosphere between the stripped-down power of a kickdrum and the intricate network of sounds and melodies. during the titles murrakus and wüstenlauf your inner cinema will show mysterious scenes from an oriental bazaar, at the same time your body will have to deal with a pleasant feeling of restlessness. the frequency spectrum of makrovic is invaded by tripped-out samples, reminiscent of radio transmissions from some odd parallel dimension, resulting in a groove that is deep yet uplifting. barfussbravo sounds just as alien and is just as compelling, as delirious melodies and delay cascades unfold upon tight, driving rhythm sections. mollono.bass delivers a remix that is probably even deeper, a stardust phantasy flying high upon the solid foundation of a standing bass line. in contrast, carlos shifts down a gear and reflects on the multi-dimensional anatomy of barfussbravo during a smooth downbeat version.

as we like eclectic sounds from different genres within electronic music, our upcoming release leads us into more deeper and dubbed out grooves. to this occasion we have invited a new project to our roster, novio dub tribe who delivers some slow and warm sounding grooves to us, or as we call it, an >old school dream< the man behind the project is no other than roger gerressen and friends, who has already convinced many listeners with his works in recent years and we are really proud to welcome him to the label family. the track -boundary dub- is coproduced with ivano tetelepta. we continue our journey to deliver quality, timeless music, as always on vinyl!

vanguard sound follows up on guerilla soul’s self-titled ep with label co-head chris mitchell delivering feng shui flow. feng shui flow is an exploration into deep harmonic textures in the form of three distinct offerings. a1 primordial gravitational waves- as the name suggests, inspired by the possible discovery of gravitational waves believed to be reverberations of the big bang. staccato bass and drums provide the heavy background for a pulsing bass wave, accented by synths and chords conjuring up visions of interplanetary manifestation. b1 eurínome- melancholic and intensely emotive chords and bass layered with intricate drums to paint this impression of the mysterious water goddess. b2 4th density- a synth heavy offering with several layers of bass, string like patches, and a sprinkling of choral sounds driven by a pair of kick drums into a plane of telepathy, harmony and ascension.

like many of the greatest italo-disco records, tony espositos 1983 double a-side je-na/pagaia is ridiculously rare. put it this way: if you fancy nabbing yourself an original copy, it will make a serious dent in your wallet. this welcome reissue presents both tracks in their original 12inch glory, mixed with clubs in mind by mariano boncaldo of klein & m.b.o fame. its the a-side thats arguably the pick of the pair, featuring as it does a balearic-friendly blend of dense, bongo-laden rhythms, tribal chants and delay heavy guitars. theres a bit more of a hazy disco bounce to pagaia, which sounds a little like a long lost tullio de piscopo record, all jazz-fusion scat singing, sunny horns and shuffling rhythms.

365 million years ago a meteorite crashed with tremendous force in the middle of a land mass that much later would be called sweden, creating one of her largest lakes. the area around this lake, siljan, has always been an epicenter of swedish folklore, with many tales of beautiful but dangerous creatures of the ancient forests and deep vales. perhaps, then, it s no coincidence that the skies over siljan later became the focus of unexplainable sightings, or that small societies appeared, claiming strong indications of extraterrestrial activities on the bottom of the lake itself. the tales may change over time, but the mysterious lake remains the same. and now the time has come for a new tale from siljan. producer colleagues hans berg and johanna knutsson have spent long periods of time in a studio by this lake. feeling a bit like aliens themselves with their blinking and bleeping music machines, the label name ufo station recordings came naturally. little raver ep is the first release, and throughout the three tracks you can clearly sense the contrast between the scenic landscape and sounds inspired by space and alien technology: shimmering ethereal melodies over classic, very fulfilling drum machines. the melancholic singing of space whales over deep and bubbly analog basses. the little raver ep is a house music ufo destined to arouse wonder and astonishment on any dance floor.

strait ii dat aka ronald burrell (of burrell brothers fame) dropped this scorching 4 track ep of garage house pressure way back in 1993 and here in 2014, it sounds as fresh as ever.

fresh from his outing on inkswel s hot shot sounds label, ex uk now melbourne based artist paradise box brings four freeform nu groove style excursions to echovolt, flipping the quintessential house acapella on reel nitty gritty into a burrell brothers style banger. the other tracks touch on virgo four, mr fingers and classic wbmx style hardware soul, making a virtue of idiosyncrasy and showcasing the fallibilities of the human touch. the whole ep harks back to an era where having limited means meant that loose and expressive soulful endeavor was pursued over high production values and rigid conformism.

brad peterson delivers the 25th release from glasgows 7th sign recordings. the imprint is back with a bang as scotland-based american producer brad peterson (also of moods and grooves) serves up deep and spiritual sounds with shades of larry heard interwoven with the unique, abstract, thoughtful, groovy sound that is all his own. a powerful remix by house music hero neville watson (clone jack for daze, creme org, rush hour, poker flat, permanent vacation) completes this fine addition to the remarkable 7th sign catalogue.

the ep is called spotlight diktat in reference to the feeling some djs have when they are on tour. a kind of dj melancholia generated by airplanes, dehumanized hotels, waiting hours in boring terminals, basically traveling alone. i made these tracks out of this mood. at first they sounds like the typical groovy dance tracks, but when the melody comes out, you immediately feel there is something wrong now the track is on and you still dance (of course its made for that) but you could almost cry to it too. so this is what happens when a dj or a producer has to do their job, but they aren t really in the mood for it. when the party comes, they just forget everything and make the show happen regardless. they have to bear the spotlight diktat and keep on entertaining people regardless of what they have in mind.
