micro-scene main mans deconstructed-dance endevor takes his diagonal dub, mood mixin wonk wizardry to someplace strange & sideways. a style-sampler, approaching acid, teasing techno, & jumbling jazz.

3rd in the dot series sees a 12 min monster by aubrey, twisting and changing with a dark bass line and strange rhythms, this is one for 5 am on a big sound system.

first in is a beat heavy analogue chug rework of the rare and weird italo 7 inch *i am your master* by the mysterious italo connoisseur savino dj and dj peet need based in holland. the arpeggiating bass line digs a circular trench that gets deeper as the track marches on until you end up stuck on an island with a strange creepy midget man. music that blurs the line between disco dreams and nightmares starion is back for more on ep2. how will he make a heavier track than ep1s *another dimension*? by making *darkstar*. analogue manctalo chug at its finest. big bass line, big synth chords, big vocoder action. you couldnt get more dark disco electronic if you went clubbing with daleks and the cybermen were djing.

limited reissue of this incredible and highly sought-after futuristic 12 from 1981. released on west african music, a tiny label from the ivory coast, and finding a spiritual home on the italian eclectic cosmic scene, both tracks on this 12 are brilliantly innovative and exhibit a minimal techno-esque aesthetic way ahead of their time. side as closer is a chugging sinuous flow punctuated by jerking monotone vocals, horn stabs and synth arpeggios with a strong dancefloor sensibility. flip over for stunningly weird electronic percussion workout tam tam - a crazed sparse soundscape of strange falsetto tribal chants, funky hand claps and drums, synth wobbles, spasms and tweaks. mystery surrounds the identity of the elusive artist codek but evidence points to it being an offshoot project of french new wave producer john marieux.

we are the ones with the courage to stand up and express our ideas. so many heroes have sold out, moved on, and turned their back on the detroit underground. if the true believers are waiting on the calvary then i guess cryovac will have to do. this is our fight whether we like it or not. we are a few like minds, not the alphas, never the favorites. we are the other guys, the ones nobody bets on, the least likely to survive a business. we know what the score will bring us, but there is an appointment and we mean to keep it. heroes must define themselves and then redefine themselves. each day that moves forward brings opportunities to tweak creations into what the now means. kieth kemp endures the elements and ailments of an ever changing electronic world. he is an original hero with a smooth technique that reflects an instinctual nderstanding of sound and soul. kieth represents a talent and spirit that does not falter no matter how strange a circumstance can get. he follows his own path to relavence. i am proud to welcome kieth to the cryovac machine.

rummage in some boxes of my favourite record store i found a cover that made me curious. l kubic & tagträumer² - the only thing in this world and on the flipside a remix by alle farben. when placing the needle at the beginning of the vinyl the first sounds were very strange. i thought that must be a record from the 60s lost in the tech-house box but than a straight beat turned everything different. a piano melody slowly sat down firmly in my ear and i was longing to know where the journey takes me. after a while an acidline pushed everything and i was sure at this time this is not a normal 4/4 tech-house record. alle farben remixed the themes very playful and i heard that he gives the elements more pressure for the club. so at the end i bought this one and i cannot imagine taking this unique record ever again out of my record case.

here is the second extract of the zombie zombie new lp >rituels d un nouveau monde<. in addition of the original mix, we asked few friends to take care of the remixes. dj sotofett, the man behind the great sex tags mania label, delivers 14 mn of pleasure, in a moodymann fashion. funk break, deep chords, amazing break using the synths of the original... on the other side, the french blocks from discodeine are giving other vision of a club orientated mix. strange delays heavy beats and tropical stabs

sons and daughters follow up their silver spell / optimo remix package with a second 12 inch. this time round they focus on orion, taken from their latest album mirror mirror, which was afforded universal critical acclaim on release last year and described by q as a creative rebirth. the 12 inch features 3 mixes kicking off with the emperor machine remix, the solo project of andy meecham from chicken lips. next up psychedelic occultist umberto giving it some strange brew with his mix, and wrapping up the package are glaswegian djs wrong island with their own particular take on the track.

first vinyl release from exotic refreshment, an independent record label based in poland. on side a of the jammin / rebirth ep you will find two stunning tracks by mr. leman, danish producer and dj, with a great passion for deep house

with > trust< audio werner discovers the taiko drum for your rolling pleasure. if you ever thought that the usage of this tribal-esque element couldnt lead to any satisfying results, were here to convince you of the opposite. its nothing less than ethno bretting at its best! on the flip we re getting crisp n crazy with >shiers<. bewitching the crowd with sounds around the bottle, audio knirps and zwunkts strange frequencies and weird grooves out of your speakers

shrouded in mystery and rarety loops haunts musical outpourings are the stuff of urban folklore. a strange alchemy of rugged rzaesque drums lay a contrasting bed for his spectral outboard sound bombardment. in contradiction with prior experiments, zenith has a strong and muscular loop based drum aesthetic running throughout from the nyc leanings mun rhul to the straight up amen bothering hardcore of zenith itself loops haunt has never sounded more relevant on a soundsystem!
black acre finish off a strong 2012 in anarchic style!

swing techhouse

as a man well versed in the moves of the old-school, fabio monesi launches his albion imprint with the immaculately executed styles of 623, full of sexy 90s synth notes and crisp, pumping beats. washerman brings a more rugged style on his remix of the tune, dropping in some cheeky and thoroughly familiar samples, while the melody wobbles around an amorphous scale. the peephouse finds monesi reaching back to the soothing organ tones of the dx7, with a gentle and piano-driven throw down that stills carries plenty of heft for the floor. rio padice steps up for another remix of 623 and spreads a strange and nervous shape-shifter of a late-night jam, scattering the vocals like confetti and nudging the drums out of joint on a whim.

vinyl double lp includes cd album.
egyptian hip hop first emerged back in 2009 as four sparky 17-year-olds from manchester with an uncanny knack for lush, scruffy melodies and raucous tales of guitar lessons from johnny marr. their debut ep >some reptiles grew wings<, produced by warps hudson mohawke, featured a clutch of delectably angular pop songs and affirmed their singular sense of rhythm.

the anticipated fourth installment of proper trax. featuring two raw-as-fuck cuts each from vanguard sound homeboy chris mitchell and our very own grey people. on the a-side, chris slams it out of the gate with the straight-up, no-bullshit jack of >drum trax<, followed by the searing frequencies of >fury<. flip it over to continue fanning the flames with grey people and the relentless industrial funk of >panik mode<, while reminiscing of times gone by when sporting a dog collar and black-dyed hair was a legit way to get some sleazy indiscriminate sex. as if you werent feeling strange enough, dial it down with >abrahadabra< and make those ripped fishnets drop with a quickness! go hard, get raw, keep it proper.

eddie flashin fowlkes has always fancied himself as the forgotten producer of the detroit militia, a point which he explicitly points to on the title of this new release for the detroit wax imprint. >unsung hero< is, interestingly enough, quite noticeably un-detroit sounding, rolling on a killer funky 2-step groove and breezy keys which would slot in nicely against the mellower end of uk garage. on the flip >we need more< takes a stripped approach to house with some strange and submerged vocals from don q and restrained organ stabs, leaving it to the steadfast, bongo-laden groove to do most of the work. unsung hero indeed!

here we find a couple of heavyweights facing off with one of the centre pieces of orgue electroniques acclaimed >strange paradise< album. on the one hand we have kink & neville watson (an unlikely pair blabla but you know all that) with a swooning but rather pressing epic that unexpectedly turns into a harmonious vortex. and once you have crossed its event horizon it proceeds to quite exquisitely tear you to shreads. marvel as you turn into jelly and watch your legs grow longer and longer in what not only seems like an eternity, but actually is cause umm technically, like, there aint no time in a black hole dude! code! speaking of which, if you ever do make it to the other side, you will find up n cummer willie burns (who is known to many as the brooklyn budgie smuggler) oldschool jacking the faders with two of the sikkest organic beat tracks north of the corpse of ron (who is in a dead heat with jimi, jim and james in the race for most desecrated musician in like 4evah). anyhow, these jamz come courtesy of the sp12. feel it feel it feel it feel it... boom knock out!

project e is mark es first collaboration since his good times release on prins thomas internasjonal label some 4 years ago with >dragon<. this time mark teams up with keyboardist nat woodcock. the result of this can be heard on the megacity ep.
a 3 track 12 inch combining the influences from both producers ranging through 80s synth pop, classical avant garde, italo disco & detroit techno. a departure from previous merc releases which have relied on sample heavy driven deep house, project e holds tight to the deep house direction but takes it into strange cosmic territory. the megacity ep is the first in a series of releases due over the coming months.

the new komplex de deep just arrived from the label chief himself and one of our big favs master-h. stunning again! do ur thang! ep will be released vinyl only, with 4 bomb tracks from the purest house music style to the deepest detroity techno dancefloor killer. master-h is now showing is own vision of electronic music with soul. dont miss it! reserve your copies now! already support from: josh wink, psycatron, anja schneider, mr g, satoshie tomiie, thugfucker

mental reaction ep is an original scan 7 release on detroit underground of classic detroit warehouse techno and electro via two new tracks and a remix. after many years of collaborative work we are wildly ectatic to present – finally! – scan 7, fabled anonymous masters of stealth, activism and classic detroit techno. mental reaction and noise tension are two new ‘zenith’ recordings shifting the order of things to reveal dark energy amid consistent, intense forms of brightness. punctuating the diptych is a ground pounding, break-oriented remix of mental reaction by dus annie hall. state of the art graphic futurism by dmas3 makes strange any sense of normality cutting new forms for productive living in an ever-expanding universe. mental reaction is the antidote to austerity via classic detroit warehouse techno. a new throbbing, syncopated scan 7 classic detroit rhythm hails us, freeing up accumulated, pent-up anger having to cope day-after-day witnessing cowardly, hypocritical elites avoiding culpability for wrongdoing in the world. warm, rhythmic frequency distributions align logical and ethical sensibilities hypnotically. mental reaction is a new scan 7 legend to reveal dance-activist pathways to higher ground in the face of adversity.

recorded in dears home studio and mixed at nicolas vernhes rare book room studios in brooklyn, beams evokes a day-lit dreamworld at once strange and familiar. while the albums dancefloor-ready tempos, major keys, and sun-warmed synths signal beams as the lighter, brighter response to its predecessor, closer inspection reveals a squirming mass of oddball details. dears latest productions on beams creak and groan like anxious organisms, with slivers of guitar, electric bass, and drum kit darting in and out among the synths and samples. beams is the latest transmission from one of pop musics most fascinating creative minds. tour dates coming in nov and dec after recently performing live in may this year in select key cities.

after the club tropicana sounds of bang the bomb its time to roll the sleeves up and get down to the business end of this trip. touching down on planet subturanus in search of the real underground shit light sound dark do not disappoint digging deep into its core and excavating strange alien like sonics which had previously been lying dormant.

limited re-stock on the 4th album by anthony gonzales aka m83, originally released in 2007.

romes egisto sopor has been making little waves with his releases for quite a while now. since we have known him he has released a cdr album on legowelts strange life records and put a cassette out on the much admired 100% silk label, both under the name polysick. as theawayteam he has released a dvd >relax & sleep< and a cd >star kinship< on japanese label moamoo. he is also one half of the low key video unit aavv, whose work has graced many of the important releases of new lofi electronic movement.
well, here is his first album proper >digital native<, 15 tracks of glowing, nocturnal, analogue grace that hark back to acid house and early techno, but with a mood and intent that seems to be designed for watching images dance on closed eyelids. it is no surprise that his work as a video artist resonates so strongly with the music he makes.
double 12 inch vinyl, including code for free mp3 download of the album.

dop, the group of wandering minstrels that embody the very essence of circus company, have returned home with new tales to impart from their travels away. indeed the insatiable touring appetite of this trio of mariachis finds them often afar at sea, spreading their message and encountering strangers in strange lands. as such, the first side of this new ep bears the fruit of a sizzling barbeque and a raucous karaoke session held in the distant shores of san francisco, home to a talented gang of artists known as pillow talk.

another slamming release from veteran producers jay lumen (saved / mistakes) and gary beck (soma/perc trax). on their own they are pretty amazing so imagine what they are like when their talents are combined. this drumcode bomb is an essential for any techno box, lets face it this one will do the damage!

after the success of chubby dubz vol.1 in january 2012 closely followed by our in house legend trevor loveys delivering the strange paradise e.p. in feburary, chubby dubz aka oliver $ and gene siewing are back with the second instalment from their forthcoming album due out summer 2012 on loungin.

nina simone was one of the best blues singers of the 20th century. only someone the likes of billie holiday and bessie smith had the power to lay a soul bare like she could, as her stripped-down be my husband shows. naked like a field-holler, this song would later capture the imagination of jeff buckley and antony hegarty. nina simone never, ever disappoints.
re-released for the first time on vinyl since 1965, we hope we do >pastel blues< justice with this 180 grams audiophile vinyl pressing.

legowelt and orgue electroniques chicago shags project lands at m>o>s! super cool 4 track 12 inch!
though well respected and accomplished producers in their own right, together brian orgue electronique schijf and danny legowelt wolfers really make the girls go wild. their chicago shags project is one that has released on creme organization, bunker and strange life records, forever mining increasingly exciting house depths since 2005. now they return with the family album on the ever-excellent mos recordings.

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.

walking a strange line between the asylum and the dancefloor, welcome bob chance. yes, this is an album like no other. but then again bob chance isnt like anyone else. put together in 1980, >it s broken< represents bobs creative juices flowing and then possibly overflowing all over the place.

excellent quality house,disco music by retrospective !!

nice price deal !!! vladivostok lad eastcolors is probably most well-known within the dnb community for his mixes and for his collaborations with enei and nuage. as far as modern drum and bass is concerned eastcolors is at the forefront of that techy, fresh sound emanating from eastern europe and russia. with this in mind then, it is clear that while his tunes fuse well with his fellow russian drum and bass cohorts, eastcolors is making a departure from collabs. what better way to celebrate demands tenth release then, with eastcolors settings about placing his name upfront and alone with his first ever solo 12 inch. on the flip >heavy tone< rumbles forth with a typically eastcolors take on what a roller should be. lenzman-esque synths and strange, celestial vocals are quickly worked over by an electrical storm of droning bass and pads. as the synths return to break up the clouds here and there, >heavy tone< loses the idea of becoming another lost bass-heavy roller and settles into being a multi-layered piece of quality drum and bass.

mark and stefan have been making noises for a long, long time. born in an storm way, way back, they have forgotten more than most people know about the art of making people move their bodies in strange ways - graduating from the psychonautic academy of vibrational arts with 2 lfos, a couple of vcfs and 3 vcos… when theyre not working in the studio on their new psychedelic project pulp disco & the outcasts, theyre getting up to all sorts of bad behavior in ibiza, france and their home in london and manchester. warehouse parties, dirty dive bars and seedy strip joints have all been seduced by their magic over the years, and this is where the duo feel most at home. the wrong side of the horizon is where they were born…and dark dub-discos are now their only refuge. so when the moon is full, hitch a ride with them into deep space...

techno and house build a strange symbiosis for darlyn vlys, without resulting in typical techhouse. when listening to the two tracks gus and heisenberg you just cant decide between groovy ass shaker and driving techno and you shouldnt! the often surprising development of the tracks combined with sophisticated transitions on the shaky but somehow secure foundation, make this special sound of the frenchman so interesting. the gus remix by affkt! comes as a crème double topping!

billyonair back on the main labels. after his melodic release on mainrecords in 2011 billy now delivered some dub-influenced technotracks. we start with flying north. cold and spheric sounds are combined in this song but with the right amount of melodies. on a2 martin woerner remixed where am i. a nice pumping track which will hit the dance floors. on b1 we have klain main - strange chord-sounds meets nice grooves is the best way to discribe it. and last but not least the original of where am i which goes in the same direction like flying north - deep melodic dub-techno. for the digital lovers we have another (stripped down) version of flying north and a supercool remix of “where am i” by our buddies pascal feos & frank leicher.release comes in green-coloured vinyl.

limited to 214 units!
after a very strange viral campaign, consisting of 4 videos - simply called <evidences< - and the emulation of mystery-demo-commissions the truth is revealed now: the new release of renommated daniel half is ready for sale. 3 tracks with witchhouse- and technodub-flavour and timeless spooky atmospheres tickle the listeners senses. his musical preferences are not from this world - always looking for perfect understatement. this is the time when all ghosts reveal their faces behind curtains of materialized maelstrom. dont forget to open the flask and drink the elixir.

we celebrate our number 30 with a double pack, featuring one of the creators of techno in spain: groof.roberto gemelin, from madrid, is groof. hes robert calvin too. no matter which of his alias you know him by, hes one of the most active producers in the madrid arena.aka robert calvin, he released materials with turbo (tigas label) in 2004, having previously collaborated with star whores in a joint release with alek stark (2002). also important are the remixes he did for disko b or for sindicato records and msx, paying tribute to megabeat with his recreation of the great classic strange.his background as groof is even more extensive, as his early steps go back to the times of minifunk (the cheeky and shameless label from barcelona that was then managed by omar and dj loe). with them he recorded mambo! (1999) and i want you(2000). he has also recorded with warmup, fieber, rainwaves or shareware records.at the end of the ninetees groof shared quite unusual with oscar mulero: the start of a deep friendship that nowadays brings us wu30 mini-album.

the music of barcelonian producer mistakes are ok is quite a mystery for us. its strange, adventurous and enigmatic, impossible to define with genres or styles. maybe thats the reason why we like it so much, or maybe its simply that we find it utterly captivating... incl rmxs from kassem mosse, downliners sekt, bnjmn....

last year s acclaimed sea power & change ep, a melancholic project from the mind of celebrated portuguese powerhouse tiago, is now revisited through the lens of three essential esp institute artists. side a gives us a take on strange fruit by our heroes soft rocks — a smacked up dub/boogie rendition leaving the beautifully dark mood intact whilst twisting the the rhythms toward the tough side. on side b, secret circuit (eddie ruscha of laughing light of plenty, and soon to release his solo release for esp) stuffs wild combination in his saddle and takes us for a ride through a futuristic version of the wild west with a funky bassline and distant whistles, only to be rounded out by a blissed-out epic re-rendering of yesterday is gone by somberero galaxys jonny nash. its a family affair.
