two essential techno players. the bek audio imprint hits double figures on this release, showcasing label-boss gary beck while also welcoming the sounds of mark reeve. mark reeve has made appearances on labels like soma, cocoon & traum and is an artist that gary has been supporting in many of his recent dj sets. gary beck sets the pace with >ars poetica<, the rugged opening track on this release. rasping off-beat bass and unnerving vocal samples join toughened drums and percussion to create a full-bodied fix. on the flip, mark reeve makes his first appearance on bek audio with his >fabula< track. a clean, smooth and grooving lesson in restrained and delicate production, fabula utilises icy cold atmospheres with warm and unwavering rhythm.

“kind of blue” is probably the best-selling jazz record of all time. we precede the familiar stereo version with the legendary “kind of blue” mono mix - legendary because columbia records claimed that the tapes had been discarded long ago. the avaxhome audiophile website approved of the new perspective mono offers on a time-honoured classic, saying: “if you’re only used to hearing it in stereo, this will be a different experience. it sounds kind of “forward”, particularly the saxes. overall it has a nice timbre, especially in the midrange.”

raf camora, bekannt durch unzähligen alben, mixtapes und kollabos u.a. mit sido, nazar oder chakuza, zuletzt auf tour mit k.i.z., ist einer der schillernsten persönlichkeiten der deutschsprachigen rap / hiphop szene. einer der keine grenzen kennt. einer der sich nicht einengen und damit festlegen läßt. seine beats, raps und hooks suchen in deutschland, Österreich und der schweiz ihresgleichen. raf 3.0 ist die konsequente weiterentwicklung des raf camora-sounds: aus ein paar gesungenen hooks und der liebe zum jamaikanischen dub so wie hartem rap von der straße, ist ein ganz eigener sound gereift. raf 3.0 führt melodiösen reggae- und dancehall mit den harten 808-drums und synthiebeats des dirty south-rap zusammen. die treibenden beats veredelt raf mit seiner ganz eigenen, charakteristischen art zu singen. raf 3.0 ist rougher reggae, wie ihn die öde deutsche musiklandschaft noch nicht gehört hat. 3.0 ist nicht nur etwas neues - es ist eine verbesserung und optimierung hin zur perfektion. einzigartig und bewegend.

we are proud to release the second ep from the new fluxion album on echocord. this work is about his travels in music. the sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the music influences deriving from them. through his prism those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take. fluxion captured the motion in his travels with a different feeling each time. >eruption< is maybe the most powerfull deep dubby track from the traces album, perfect for the dancefloor. >motion 3< and >motion 2< are beautifull floating dubby tracks. finally morphosis did a remix of >eruption<, pure killer madness for the dancefloor. after a decade in the field of dub, techno, ambient, fluxion opens the horizon with music that cannot fall under one specific territory.

fur the texan, born bryce isbell, extracts minutiae with precision. his compositions, while airily sparse, are saturated with details plucked from broad of landscapes, whether they resemble the texan prairie or the expanses of industrial germany. isbells composite micro-samples are infinitesimal, soaked in breathless allusion and divorced from their context. the crisp, insistently percussive arrangement oscillates like metal shavings manipulated by an unseen magnet. fur has untraditionally tapped into a eu techno mind-meld, a berlin thought-stream. after his early work with neon indian’s alan palomo as ghost hustler, isbell dove deep into minimal sounds that transported listeners closer to inner city detroit than the mid-west. unos first fur ep cocoon follows several years of isbell silence. after a notable debut with lefse, fur submerged below a sea of techno and came up with a deep analog style that has acquired fans in fred p and firecracker records with twisting house like >knots<. a second part in the fur saga on the way, uno has faith this young westerner will be putting a big texan stamp on the house scene to come.

secret circuit, having been knighted by tastemaker tim sweeney by releasing their first 12? on his beats in space imprint, seriously run the voodoo down with this intense jam:jungle drums, spellbinding exotic chants once obstinately nesting in your head once you heard them, cheeping, bleeping and tweeting dub noises messing with your sense of orientation, gyrating guitar chords in a my bloody valentine style and between all this wonderful sonic chaos a slightly latin jazz tinged piano breaks its way. a beautiful maze of a track where you easily can get lost in for the rest of this summer. on the flip portugals tiago accentuates the cosmic rock vibe throwing in an aggressive guitar riff that sounds very much like chicagos im a man and prins thomas chucks the looser jam-like first part of the original over board and bundles the psychedelic elements to a breathlessly, constantly intensifying pressure cooker.

its strange to think that it was only 2010 that saw the first records from christopher manik, aka manik. since exploding onto the scene with his debut ovum release he has gone on to develop and strengthen his own sounds & styles. never pigeonholed, the young new yorker has confidently and creatively placed his music on a variety of the hottest labels of today, whilst always managing to maintain his own unique identity.

detroit house at its best. amazing high tech jazz influenced 4 tracker by orlando b. after hearing orlando bs 2 full eps on germanys yore records, ric mcclelland & sean grieve head hunted the scottish producer for their seven music label. orlandos first outting on the belfast imprint was at the start of 2012 with a remix of giorgio luceris >one more time<. not content with just a remix, seven music asked orlando for some original works and here we have the >city life ep<. 4 tracks of chicago and detroit inspired goodness! the scottish producer and dj started making music at the age of 15 using an atari and notator sl. inspired by artists such as jeff mills, the advent, dave clarke and ian pooley, orlando began his career making techno. fast forward to 2012, orlandos studio is predominantly analogue based and his sounds have progressed to a deeper and more retrospective house sound. with 4 original tracks (1 of which is exclusive to the 12inch vinyl) the >city life ep< is arguably orlandos finest work to date. timeless yet forward thinking electronic music with soul and a record that deserves a place in any discerning djs collection!

>where are you now< was originally released in 2009 as the second release on best works records. a track in which lodemanns 90ies house-music knowledge is combined with the sounds of today always keeping the equilibrium between a classic american house-feel and berlin-ortientated somewhat minimal influence. of course the track also clearly shows lodemanns typical dramatic changes. the track became an underground hit over the years with a lot of people doing their own edits. we decided to re-release it with some remixes by some of our favorite artists incl. jimpster and ripperton. both managed to interpret the original vibe in their own way.

for their sixth release, lets play house has headed down under to scoop up australias fantastic man, a second identity of dj/producer mic newman, with which the melbourne-based artist explores—and exposes—another side of his musical and stylistic skills. and the four original songs on the its essential ep most definitely mark a bit of a departure from newmans trademark sounds: he has exchanged the thumping, peak-hour, hands-in-the-air chaos and messiness of hits like 2009s >sizzled sally< for a more refined and subtle breed of deep house.

nguzunguzus (prounounced en-goo-zoo-en-goo-zoo) bubbling, otherworldly productions stitch percussively forward experimental sounds into a club-friendly framework. alongside kindred spirits in the fade to mind crew (kingdom, total freedom) nguzunguzu seamlessly cross genres, tempos, and atmospheres to create a new emotive electronic club realm that immerses body and mind. the mirage ep is nguzunguzus breakout ep (from 2010) made to have and hold in the physical realm for the first time ever. the new version features a rework from kindred spirit dubbel dutch and mind melting artwork. limited edition of 500 on clear vinyl.

played and supported by luke slater, dvs1, laurent garnier, adam x, marcel fengler, samuli kemppi, inigo kennedy, jeroen search, truncate and more. asr is a record label with a strong inspiration in cosmology, physics and science fiction. with one foot in detroit and one in birmingham, asr is getting the techno in its original form beyond fads. we are believers in the true conception of electronic music as artistic expression and as message. our first release is also the first volume of the series vla, named in honor of the radio telescopes system in the very large array of new mexico (usa). radio transmission true to the sound of detroit and influenced by idm and the birmingham scene, radio trasmission presents a crude and analog sound, sometimes simple and sometimes twisted, synthesizing unconventional elements of the dancefloor with complex sounds and structures. the first track,grote reber, works around the omnipresent tr909 and the classic dx100 solid bass sound, building a powerful and effective track. in interferometry, a heavy and deep sub bass, leads the track around dub and post industrial ways. cyg x-1, is the only track that isnt 4x4, with noisy and punchy stabs all around, this works perfectly late in the night and in more uncommon sessions. the last track,vla is more melodic and relaxed. it is the perfect end for the whole record.

double ten inch pack edition of the debut release from love interest, a newly minted label from the juno records enclave. minneapolis based electroboogie crooner nyteowl has been handed the honour of the debut release with the prince-leaning >love of mine<, and this edition features remixes from both brassica and astro chicken founder hyboid. given the nature of their output, both are perfectly placed to tease out the nuances of a 80s referencing electronic soul track and brassica in particular excels, extracting gleeful new levels of texture out of the synth sounds with a truly twisted remix. hyboid adopts an outer galactic electro poise reminiscent of his finest output on astro chicken, and if vocals arent your thing, check the b-side of each ten inch slab for instrumental mixes.

limited reissue of a very rare and highly in-demand 1986 12 inch from indian ocean, alias of late great disco legend and sleeping bag founder arthur russell. although russells original version on side a is fantastic in itself, the stunning abstract walter gibbons mix on side b is where its all at. with irrepressible madcap gibbons at the helm, the track mutates into a strangely subversive dancefloor odyssey way ahead of its time which still sounds futuristic today. with a raw sparse experimental sound, this progressive sonic journey rolls along for over 10 minutes pulsating with a jazz-influenced interplay of funk-heavy bongos, stabbing synths, off-the-wall vocals and russells trademark cello. one of the great moments to come out of the vibrant art/disco not disco crossover scene of 80s new york - dont miss your chance to bag a vinyl copy of this obscure gem.

when the house music phenomenon was beginning, chicago djs like ron hardy and new yorkers such as frankie knuckles and larry levan would edit records for their own purposes, removing the parts they felt to be superfluous, concentrating instead on extending grooves and hooks, often adding their own basic synth lines and toughening up the percussion with what have now become classic synthesizers and drum machines. warehouse classics vol.1 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularised at the music box and rarely heard anywhere else. sir leon greg (another incarnation of perseus traxx) jams out then reinforces some edits of forgotten classics with a raw & personal analogue treatment for a devastating full effect on the dance floor, that is a far cry from the proliferation of over-produced squeaky-clean software edits. these are basic, raw ideas thrown down quickly and capturing the energy on 1/4 inch tape before moving on to the next set of sounds. musically, its as delightfully funky and uncomplicated as youd expect, a mesh of disco tracks and heavy, effect laden, machine-funk. essential item!!

limited 250 copies, vinyl only. the collaboration between chicago producers hakim murphy and ike release brings a cosmic palette of futuristic sounds that give homage to the spirit of chicago jack. organic collisions appeared with this 3-track ep.

from mountains and forests in nagano, hideo kobayashi arrived on the san francisco club scene and was inspired by west coast flavored deep house sounds, his name was cemented through his projects such as children of the drums on chez music and nagano kitchen with jerome sydenham on ibadan records.having spend hectic schedule for djing most weekends with local and international djs, he discovered his ability for bringing out the deeply aggressive side of tech house earn him a spot a tour every year since he was on tour in europe enthusing every floors on 2007. then he drew on these global experiences for his 1st album zero on 2009, assimilating and incorporating his significant balance of underground and overground touches.that led him into busy days for remixing works and releasing quality sounds on op dance music labels such as defected, kingstreet sounds, renaissance, ibadan and apt. international

this is the debut vinyl release from up & coming producer jim morton. the 12 inch presents two different flavours of the jungle sound. the a side is nyc-dub, a heavy duty track with plenty of pace and energy. an atmospheric vibe is present but the production still carries enough weight with the beats and sub to work the dance floor. think ray keith meets breakage!
on side b, >underwater chord< is again a jungle bass tune but on a different vibe. it is a brighter sounding track, due to the chords and sounds used, which wouldnt be out of place in a liquid style production. with both tracks there is a tip of the cap towards the old skool sound.

bob dylans >love & theft< was a true return to form, his 30th studio album, with the unfortunate release date of september 11, 2001.
his voice is shot, but he sounds warmer, more relaxed, and old mr. grumpy is as good humoured as on >the basement tapes< (movlp 429). bob is in a wistful, elegiac, playful mood. he has recovered the humanity he lost on >time out of mind<, and is looking on life with loving eyes. he has thrown off the weight of life and is remembering a better self. and that makes this one of his more accessible albums, despite a lack of high-flying hit songs.
with beautiful printed inner sleeves and 180 grams audiophile vinyl, this is the first vinyl re-issue since 2001!

ander-traxx is a fresh label operating out of glasgow with the intent of releasing righteous underground house, and although mainly a platform for the labels founder alex-ander to showcase his own productions, ander-traxxs remit also includes the presentation of unknown talent for future releases. for this first release, alex steps up to the plate to deliver because of me, followed by 3 remixes from artists born and raised in glasgow. the original kicks things off with its intro of glacial pads and jittery hats, before quickly delving into a seriousely deep groove brimming with melodic layers. although because of me gives a strong nod to the recent developements of producers like omar s and kyle hall, it undoubtedly has the hallmarks of an alex-ander production, his unique arrangements coming to the forefront while still complimenting the crisp percussion that drives the track forward. carlos nilmmns (co founder of the formidable solab production unit) mix is a much more off-kilter and submerged affair. nilmmns plays down the epic quality of the original and adds chugging rhythmics and sweetcured piano work for a lesson in divine repetition. mesumas feedback mix goes in for the dancefloor attack, not surprising for a gentleman whos previous work has seen releases on hardgroove and seventh sign. rolling toms and a booming kick meet aquatic vocal samples and spectral harmonicas, and will still please those partial to deeper sounds. last up to give because of me the rework treatment is meschi (lunar disko, lux, snuff traxx), who mixes his chicago influenced analogue stylings perfectly with the source material. stripped down crescendos build up to a euphoric drop, and meschis elated melodies bring another twist to this excercise in deep funk. because of me is one of those rare e.ps that works just as well in a non-club enviroment as it does on the dancefloor. with this warning shot, alex-ander will surely be capturing the ears of many in 2012 and beyond.

premiesku, a project from romanian duo livio & roby in collaboration with their pal george g, pays tribute to analogue sources and vintage devices - for them its all about touching knobs and faders, modulating oscillators, building their own consoles, interacting with their gear and taking time to experiment. not for nostalgia, but for the love of organic grooves, spiritedness of sounds and a serious portion of soul in their music.

after the successfully aras startup from the label owners andre galluzzi and dana ruh we are now presenting a hot follow-up from our friend, well known hessian johannes heil. the a side consciousness is a massive 12 minute dancefloor killer starting with a nice synth loop and some heavy kicks. after nearly a half the track turns from a warm hypnotic break into a real peaktime monster. b side track pure starts a little bit deeper with sounds that let us yearn for the sun. a very nice package for the summer.

after their first hello on the 6 years hive compilation adriatique is back on hive audio with a full ep. the swiss- based duo recently released some remarkable pieces of music in the last months with amzing feedbacks and chart-postitions. the aint nobody ep shows a few typical adriatique sounds but has a darker touch. the original a-side is filled with some old school housebeats paired with heavy synth work, deep vocals & a rolling bassline which makes this track work for every time of the night or morning. atapys remix of aint nobody goes into the same direction but delivers his very own interpretation. he put on the atapy stamp through his characteristic synthmelodies. then we have another original track from adriatique. mind games is a heavy dance floor track with lots of content. pretty much electronic with melodies and spoken vocals which really put mind games on the map. overall all tracks are made for the club and will achieve their goal. dancing not only with the body but also with the soul.

rising parisian producer yakines career pretty much defines the word eclectic — in his teens, he was a bona fide metalhead, playing guitar in a metal band that toured all over europe, before his love of hip hop steered him in the direction of the dancefloor. he really found his home behind the decks, however, and once he discovered the world of electronic music via the patronage of his brother—who introduced him to the sounds of underground deep house and techno — yakine quickly moved into production. he has since released a series of eps on european labels like esperanza and jetaime records. the rise ep is his first release for spectral sound, a four-track slab of understated, atmospheric techno.
