after cutting his teeth supporting berlin s keinemusik crew, fabian braunbeck branches off with his own original ep. moody & beautiful, its lush textures clearly show an artist who has paid attention while working with some of the industry s best, yet has a voice all his own, not to mention he s picked up a few tricks on the way. the ep s title track needs absolutely no introduction, just press play. we welcomed back our good friend ruede hagelstein to remix the a side and as the partyers at panorama bar would agree now for weeks on end it works!. the b-side is a much more percussive and moody affair, getting a remix from fellow berliner filburt who puts his own mark on the originals cornerstones.

for record store day 2016, we thought of what to release to be special and decided a remix ep would be something good.

mike ash returns to super rhythm trax after providing the very first release and gives us 4 authentic and acidic warehouse smashers. mike ash may be familiar from early releases on moving shadow and rising high records under a variety of pseudonyms in the early 90s but in the last 10 years has become synonymous with releasing mind blowing and true electro under his own name. when he turns his hand to acid house, the results mirror the high quality and his no nonsense approach shines through having lived and breathed the music and culture back when it was exploding in the late 80s and early 90s. in his own words i tried to keep with the original 1988/1989 vibe. i didnt use any synths / sounds / samples that weren t available past 1990. its all juno / sh-101 / 303 / jupiter / 808 / 909 / 707 / 606 and samples from the beats breaks & scratches vol 1&2inch the tracks exude a raw and strangled soul and are a bold and comfortingly honest take on the warehouse and pirate radio sound of the uk.

with this new release best works records presents a new multi-talented dj and producer from georgia, gacha bakradze. this 4 track ep is not the typical club record but a mind stimulating piece of music. it opens with drift, a track where rhythm and beats are melting down in a pot full of warm flowing sound- scapes, then goes into more hypnotic lead sounds with the second track golshifteh. on the b-side youll find a techno infused remix from berghains resident norman nodge, elevating the original track drift to a real dancefloor bliss. the last track tiresome walk takes us on a sweet journey through playful melodies and laid-back rythmics, he delivers a majestic slow burn, crafting something that would serve well both as a stirring set opener or an emotional end.

repress 2016 , the new artist ep of map.ache goes by the name leave and keep. luckily he is not going to leave the label, but turns in three new tracks, where he is stressing the fine line between dancefloor and good listening. his indescision remains our pleasure

ostgut ton reissues acht of zehn with original tracks by din (aka efdemin and marcel fengler), fiedel and tobias. 2015 marked ostgut tons ten-year anniversary, celebrated with an extensive 30 track compilation release, titled ostgut ton | zehn, spread out over ten 12inch vinyl records housed inside a limited box set. this sampler sold out in no time, which is why ostgut ton is re-issuing these ten 12inches individually in 2016. bubbling synths, a stoic bassdrum, some live hi-hat percussion and synth pads full of bliss – what started as marcel fengler’s and efdemins inaugural collaboration as din for 2013s masse ballet sees its continuation in form of mono on a1. on a2 fiedel contrasts the opening tracks cool sounds with an upbeat contribution: probe-806 gently brushes funk, electro, acid and even boogie territory atop the general muscular rhythm. analogue synth aficionados are being served by tobias.: like a drug is a minimalist techno track with maximalist dancefloor effect through its use of haunting, distanced vocal fragments, discomforting alarm tones and crackling background textures. as with every good drug, you dont necessarily want more of it, but rather a longer duration of effect (in this tracks case: 8:36 minutes).

streng limitierte lp-auflage des dritten rustie-studioalbums evenifyoudontbelieve, das ende 2015 ohne vorankündigung rein digital erschien. auf den 16 tracks denkt der glasgower produzent seine progressive fusion aus dance- und rock-sounds weiter und spielt auf den feature-tracks gitarre und weitere instrumente selbst ein. das doppel-vinyl erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

what do you do when you are part-time bored, when you are part-time broke and – even better – when you claim to make and live dance music (of course, also part-time)? well you are obviously running a record label. this is what johannes albert does since 5 fun years and 20 releases. releasing his own music on vinyl but also his mates stuff. frank will celebrate this anniversary among life & happiness early 2016 with two 12 inches and a lousy tour. fred p lifting us up right from the start with his “energy cloud”. soulful drum workouts make peace with heavenly layers. far out bliss. next in line is good friend iron curtis who is calling for sweet operators. flip side offers our session victim boys first time on the label. lets have some moody juice wit hauke & matthias once and for all! hidden beauty is the kind of track you wouldnt expect from tim toh of philpot fame. well its a beauty and now not so hidden anymore. lets just be frank shall we?

it’s not easy to create something that sounds epic and yet doesn’t veer off into cliche-riddled pathos, which is why the latest release from gaspard de la montagne hits so hard. it’s perfect.

nice price deal !!! tim kossman gives his debut on telrae with a vibrant and personal 2-track release. >at the core< makes moves gentle and with poise. tims sound aesthetic is a nice balancing act of tough >vertical sounds< and >horizontal floating< sounds. the tension he creates is breathtaking and to the point, never random. kossman is also good for some surprises, so expect a challenging composition here. >slower than zero< by its title, defines the style of the flipside entirely. meet the other face of tim kossmann, chilled out- slow motion- heavy dub electronica at its best! we totally embrace this song!

sebastian fiegen rolls out his debut solo release for cadenza records this spring, with a trio of excellent house cuts on the theofidelity ep. the german producer has been crafting quality productions for some time now under aliases and collaborations, and its on lucianos label where he makes his mark as a solo artist. dopeman opens the ep with a rolling chi-town house style groove, a simple yet effective filtered vocal loop and sustained strings harvest the feel good vibes over its solid beats. fiegen keeps up the pace with anando, more drum led house grooves with a high production value, the vocal refrain cutting in and out of the mix whilst the simplistic bassline and woody percussion maintains the bouncing vibes. closing the ep is th01, again coming correct with the feel good factor with its use of the looped sample and lazy, hypnotizing drums. a cracking debut production from fiegen, and a well rounded release for cadenza.

mit seinem 4. release introducing auf zaijenroots präsentiert matt nowak ein herausragendes dj tool für ein breites internationales publikum der elektronischen tanzmusik. so verschieden wie die künstler selbst, so verschieden sind die 4 tracks. toyz on acid - hawaiien teacher, das mysteriöse duo mit einprägsamen namen kreierte eine narrative techno hymne, die mit sicherheit in die tiefsten tiefen der darkrooms der clubwelt vordringen wird. eine punchige sp1200 kickdrum und ein düsteres rauschen wird immer wieder unerwartet mit futuristischen sounds und einem treibendem shaker begleitet. ein innovativer dancefloor kracher!

we are very proud to announce that we have signed arovane aka uwe zahn for echocord. uwe is in our world a legend within the electronic music scene. he started to do releases on the old berlin labels din and city-centre-offices. he is known for being one of the best producers ever within the idm & electronica scene. back in the 90’s he listened to the music of basic channel, maurizio and fluxion a lot. this sound is timeless. in the summer of 2015 he started to record a couple of dub sounds and beats beside his collaboration work and the production of his new album. he talked to fluxion and told him about the growing project. he liked the tracks very much and connected it with echocord and the modul ep was born.

tyler friedman brings a hyper-realism to the table which meshes in very interesting ways with rohrer’s conversational percussive instincts. sounds like villalobos meets burnt friedmann.

the second release on hail blk, with deeper grittier atmospheres from new artist llimbs. the four tracks presented here pace steadily with heavy beats immersed in dark industrial noise echoes and repetitive oscillating sounds with moments of brooding introspection.

bryan kessler is not a musician, he is a force of nature. the young talent’s refreshing perspective on electronic club music shows a love for powerful sounds that so many other producers are lacking these days. something that he was already able to proof on releases for get physical (remixed by dj hell), coméme, low hanging fruit and like records. the release starts with you look like trunks, a heavily driving, desert inspired piece that makes clear that kessler grew up in rock music. his second track vegeta charges up with a red-glowing synth lead that eventually explodes in a wave of youngster mayhem. teens are still doing it! the b side is dedicated to ludwig zibell’s remixes of both tracks that continue kessler’s energy with precision and warmth. his b1 remix releases a flock of tarantulas that set the clock to peak time, while b2 adds psychedelic loops to the drive of the original. this is the fourth vinyl release of supermoll from köln. rooted somewhere between a sound of cologne legacy, german experimental kraut attitudes and dirty acid vibes from oversea. 150 hand numbered copies w/ illustration by paula prandini

exciting and fresh fluid structured organic techno with that trademark natural feel of voices from the lake on their own new spazio disponibile label. first release is a superb release by donato dozzy and neel showcasing their mutual love of advanced textured sounds and carefully crafted rhythms that create a deeply hypnotic effect. killer techno!!

deto & gleam is back with a massive piece of modern dub techno. the 180 g limited transparent vinyl comes with 2 tracks. eerie sounds cutting through the dense atmosphere and the instruments are detecting signals… (hint: side b is especially laid back at 33 rpm)

otake 007 is the debut from the born new polish project id ensemble. the release is called hollow ep and is authored by filip kaczmarek, self taught musician with technological attention to detail. it is one of few projects which filip runs in parallel although this one is heavily influenced by berlin sound exports. it was created as an expression of the need to break from the pattern, escape from the trademark. there are four tracks on the ep which are inspired by some detroit and berlin sounds, thus still having some special polish touch.

(incl. dl card) undoubtedly the darlings of electro-pop, satin jackets finally unveil their debut artist album, featuring a string of cameos from vocalists familiar and exotic, jetting in from la, berlin, london, belgium and australia.

next in line to work with underground imprint getme! is uk artist nicky otter, with gme012: i can t really explain (it), a two track release out on 14th march across vinyl and digital platforms. across the ep, nicky ventures between parameters of ambient electronica and big, bad club tracks. nickys outsider sound find its perfect home on london s getme! label, both artist and label undefinable by genre, shape or sound. a-side i can t really explain (it) is a straight call for the dance floor for those after sounds on a more house and garage tip. originally trained as a drummer, nickys percussive talent shines across this bassy number, complete with creeping melody and layered vocal samples for a track nodding to club edits from a nostalgic time gone by. moving into murkier territories, b-side sketch original slow is journey through the darker strains of electronica, hazy techno feels and euphoric ambient vibes. dreamy melodies and carefully mapped out drum patterns meet here, giving sketch original slow an other-worldly feel.

panic! at the disco wurden 2004 in las vegas, nevada, gegründet. death of a bachelor ist das mittlerweile sechste album der band um mastermind brendon urie. der letzte longplayer too weird to live, too rare to die! stieg 2013 auf #2 der us billboard charts ein.

und genau so ist auch ihr sound. »victorious« ist frisch, voller power und wie von panic! at the disco nicht anders zu erwarten, mitreißend. die kraftvollen vocals werden perfekt durch die präzise gesetzten drums unterstützt und werden immer wieder durch synthie-sounds durchbrochen, die so klingen wie der song. siegreich und nach jeder menge spaß!

deep88 presents his new lp ‘the black album’. this double-vinyl houses his personal style that is reminiscent of the sounds of a bygone era whether the depth and warmth of new jersey and italian house, a dose of sun-soaked balearic or primitive raw jams synonymous with chicago.

michele mininnis hyper martino ep is a strange adventure in sound, the finest example of music noir and engaging story of audio science fiction. michele hails from south italy and counts everything from post-punk, krautrock to new wave, house and disco amongst his influences. hes been a dj for years but only in 2014 has released his debut tupolev love ep on glasgows optimo trax. he immediately found himself in the spotlight of discerning djs and music collectors alike. after a few months he released another highly acclaimed ep entitled endless ceremony on belgian label curle. and now, after a short hiatus he returns with his latest hyper martino ep radiating oblique and unpredictable sounds. remixes come courtesy of tel aviv’s hit-assembly-line red axes who yet again deliver a bloody good remix, and of a reckless new age traveller, industrial-yoga-trance guru and australian multi culturist dreems.le temps perdu is a new label founded by lemmy caution, a man of mistery, a fan of steal mustangs, robot poetry and otherworldly sounds, well know across the outlands and operating from alphaville. the vinyl release includes a download code.

limited repress of the first release! played by raresh for six years nervmusic has been the instigator of actions that have brought a circle of techno culture fans together to form an independent movement in moscow s nightlife. all along the way, the members of nervmusic were searching for a unique sound that eventually necessitated becoming a music label. the starting point of the nervmusic label will be karen ep, a release by easy changes (foundsound, stock5), a techno act from moscow and core members of nervmusic since the beginning. with a remix by cabanne (minibar, hello?repeat, perlon), the legendary french techno producer who crafted a special take on the track gneedos. further development of nervmusic will be a contiuous research in avant garde techno sounds. nervmusic aims to infuse the work of new artists with the contributions of legendary producers.

ark & pit spector continue their inspired journey with an extended ep full of groovy jams and absorbing rhythms for hold youth. the frenchmen have formed a potent alliance with a series of expertly-crafted, high-quality releases dropping over the last couple of years. on this new ep they go deeper into their sound explorations with five original works and a remix from their parisian buddy and hold youth member, le loup. first up, we go into bumping jazzy territory with ‘chauffage central’, a mesmerising cut with swirling pads, soulful vocal clips and a jaunty b-line. straight up after that, hold youth rudeboy le loup gives ‘chauffage central’ a funky little rework, throwing live sounding percussion, nubian vocal clips, trumpet parps and a pumping bassline into the mix which gives a totally different identity. the final track on side a, is a cheeky teaser called ‘petite ondée’. rolling out for just under two minutes the track has a muffled, jazz-esque feel to it with a warm rolling bassline and bright, sparkling piano keys. on the flip we kick off with ‘air conditionelle’, a lush, retro feeling with those oh-so-familiar heavy-hitting eighties snare licks. the bassline takes you to a new york city street and the whole atmosphere is that of an old school nyc neighbourhood, while a spoken-word sample adds a human touch just before the track comes to an end. ‘sub tropical’ goes a little leftfield with an unusual combination of sounds in tandem with a pulsating low end, occasional sax licks and punchy percussion to give it plenty of energy. ‘averse et contre tous’ closes out the ep with a slothish ride into the sunset – ark and pit spector show their experimental side presenting an odd union between blues samples, gruff electronic sounds and piano keys. another triumphant effort from ark and pit spector, in fact, some of the finest work to date. make sure you check it out!

szary und sascha sind sich einig, dass moderat schrittweise das produzieren von tracks gegen ein traditionelleres komponieren von songs eingetauscht hat — ein prozess, der sich vor allem auf iii vollzieht. »stell dir vor, du sitzt im kino und siehst einen film mit einem unglaublichen soundtrack«, beschreibt szary die idee hinter moderat. das gilt für die band im allgemeinen, aber besonders für iii, wo dynamische sounds und bildhafte texte einen tiefgründigen emotionalen sog erzeugen. das trio modernisiert die songwriting-tradition mit einer faszinierenden palette aus können und hingebungsvoller perfektion, geprägt durch ihre »erfahrung mit sounds aus fast 25 jahren sub- und clubkultur«. auf dieser gemeinsamen basis steht iii für pop im modernsten sinne — ein erfolg, den die musiker gemeinsam erreicht haben. »ich glaube, unsere musik ist reifer geworden«, merkt gernot bescheiden an. wir sagen: auf moderat iii hört man eine band auf dem höhepunkt ihres schaffens.

for our 50th release on delusions of grandeur we’re pleased to bring you seven exclusive tracks from a mighty-fine collection of both existing dog artists and veritable newcomers alike. kicking off part one we have rush hour regular nebraska who manages to successfully combine elements of wait for it... trance and broken beat into an altogether more exciting and amazing way than that actually sounds on paper. organic, sampled drums with plenty of grit and dirt lay down a groove whilst spacey synth arps and an almighty break (in a subtle way) make this something of an epic which all of us here have fallen for in a big way.

good things come to those who wait. the long-anticipated land of light debut, a masterpiece of an album and pillar of the esp institute, was unveiled in late 2012, slowly followed by the gorgeous remixed ii. since then, many have longed for the missing first half of this two-part package, the universe is kind and has finally delivered remixed i. on side a, kuniyuki takahashi (mastering engineer behind seminal esp releases, and legend in his own right) took the bull by the horns remixing flares—a piece of music so entrenched in melancholy, with such fluid performance and production, its hard to imagine anyone taking it deeper—he has unarguably triumphed. on side b, esp institute veterans tambien rose to the same challenge with flares, the bavarians taking a refreshing uptempo approach, a contrast to the swells of guitar and synth. closing the release is the seahawks blissful re-imagination of bell rock outpost, slowly and steadily setting sail into a dusky vision of the scottish lighthouse after which the song was named.

sticking to its mission on digging out fresh sounds from the romanian underground, metereze proposes limpid and his antagonistic 4-tracks house journey for its 6th release.
on the deeper side of this record you’ll find 2 pieces that complement each other to perfection: uncle sens, with its simple structure on the surface level that’s more like an invitation to discover the elaborate work done on the sample level, and copacul vietii, rooted into the deep house glory days yet connecting this fertile ground with the future dancefloors through dreamy loops reverbed around the phat bassline. flip the record to reveal the side that would most certainly drain the dancefloor energy: the chicago-esque piano to break the fast cavernous patterns in speologie versus zibi’s techno structure, softened just enough to keep us from sliding into the darkness.
tested already on the house music hungry crowds by raresh, the name behind metereze.

wtm038 is definitely an outstanding release, something between house and real love to technoid sounds. the long a side comes with a classical intro and turns into a p erfect groovy but still monumental house track. the b starts with the track * call me a cap* and is the third collaboration with dop . great melodic atmospheric sounds with a perfect arrangement between vocals and all the typical addicted masomenos style. the second one on the b side has a featuring with tobi neumann who releases also his third ep with the french duo. * pushpush* is more trippy with a great step sequencer arrangement. all together, great release again from masomenos and this will be a special one which you surely wont forget
