few djs and producers have credentials quite like sammy dees. a longtime fixtureof berlins club scene, a cornerstone of the esteemed perlon imprint and a regular djand panorama bar and club der visionaere, his taste and signature style couldhardly be more well-­&#8208,,,,,honed. earlier this year, he created a new platform for hisunique take on house and techno: ultrastretch, a label that hit the ground runningwith a 12-­&#8208,,,,,inch by matthew burton. slick, modern and touched with surrealism, therecord had all of the unique flavor one would expect from a label by sammy, provinghis skills as a selector extend well beyond the dj booth. ultrastretchs second release lives up to the same high standard. much like matthew burton, seuil is a highly imaginative producer whos kept a low profile despite astring of excellent records. based in paris, his lean and funky sound has placed himat the forefront of his citys reemerging party scene. many of his past releases havebeen punchy but subtle, balancing dance floor utility with an ear for restraint. on >oamer< he goes even deeper than usual, crafting a vivid afterhours track out ofhypnotic drums and bleary-­&#8208,,,,,eyed chords�nervous one moment, euphoric the next.like its title suggests, >dark rooms< is a clubbier affair, charging ahead withfragmented vocals and a brisk driving rhythm. this is one to put on as the nightturns serious. for the final track, sammy brings in an old friend: baby ford, one of germanys finest purveyors of skeletal, ultra-­&#8208,,,,,deep electronics. his remix of >oamer< expands on the originals dreamy side, with sanguine chords and abstract imagerylayered over a crisp bass drum. aimed at the dj and the connoisseur, oamer is one of the classiest records of the year so far, from one of its finest new labels.

the third release from wavefreform again comes to us from the east, and this time around it marks a reformation of sound for both the label and the artist. half of the long-running georgian duo greenbeam & leon, boyd schidt is a producer with over a decade of work already under his belt whose first releases emerged in 2007. as a solo artist, his career dates to 2010 with digital releases on georgia�s front rec, fvf records, and emote music, and a track on the new vinyl compilation from studio r°. with the hard, broken kick pattern, elevated tempo, and nods to electro, the a-side �phantom�, a collaboration with subex, is a change of pace for the artist and the hardest thing yet to emerge from wavereform. dubwise use of effects shows the same hands still at work, but the sound elements, granulated blasts of static and drop-based structure of the track hold strong parallels to the rejuvenated techno sound currently emerging from the uk. the b-side, �structure�, recalls the previous work of the artist: subtle, building dub techno rich in detail and with the dancefloor firmly in mind. there is clear experience at work here with his deliberate deployment and manipulation of elements as the track struts along while enveloping the listener in its smaller details. as it pauses and takes an extended breakdown, the details rush forwards, but it finds renewed force to power itself to the close. coming in this case from an established producer with a long history, this kind of control is not surprising, but it is more indication of the riches of the east that have yet to be discovered by audiences worldwide.

beautiful, warm and grooving house tracks on barba records, a new sub label from zagrebs finest crew(the burek posse). they start with ld neros anticyclone ep. (a new alias for wellknown producer according the label) and this is also what can be expected on barba... deep musicality, varied output and subtle inventiveness.

anthony collins and francis harris keep up the creative pace of their frank & tony project following the recent sprinkles collaboration, and once again a fine selection of tracks from their lp are on offer for deeper, more leftfield kinds of house record bags.love brut is an uneasy burner that uses a minimal amount of elements to create intensity, proving that simplicity is very often the key. the dub mix of resistance is exclusive to the vinyl, and it too keeps a stripped attitude in place with its plain and simple drums peppered with poised melodic content. villa seurat has a fuller range of percussion at work but there are no more fireworks to be found here than there are elsewhere on the ep, appealing to a more subtle kind of taste

vinyl only release, limited to 300 numbered copies.
alex & digby return for faarat003! two killer tracks of subtle minimal synthesis. *nothing with you* is a slice of micro gold - considered sound design and woozing synths are backed by a scattered broken beat. the b side *tokyo* takes us into noir-ish house territory, speckled with acidic warbles and tight rhythmic technique.

true to the motto do it yourself diynamic is re-releasing solomuns remix of lana del reys west coast on its sister-label 2diy4, in order to make it available all around the globe. in his subtle manner, solomun works his magic around the breathless sultry vocals of lana del rey: apart from the luscious beat and the droning lower frequencies, the catchy synthesizer builds a simple, but harmonic structure that sends you on a mesmerizing journey throughout the track. the a-side, which is the dub remix, has already proven to be raising hands on festivals and in clubs during this summer all over the world, the b-side attracts the listener with the matchless voice of lana del rey.

nofitstate return with four tracks from hot talent a1 bassline whose reputation has been building of late from a succession of releases for the likes of dirtybird, get physical and gruuv amongst others. here hidden agenda finds the young producer in true devastating form. skippy percussion, a nod to the uks garage scene, vibes the track along nicely whilst the bass does the damage. burnt out piano island delves deeper, acting as a neat counterpoint to the more main room agenda. here the style is much more nuanced with a more hypnotic leaning. outsider picks up the pace against, albeit in a subtle, uplifting vibe with warped pianos and razor sharp percussion. t moe p rounds things off nicely with a moody bassline driven groove.

amazing record. very special and limited record by markus suckut. raw and subtle acid infected 2 tracker.

kazak sees swaab return to wrong state, presenting one of his most direct and intense workouts to date, following recent releases on voltaire music, push-push, jesus was black and recovery tech. grunting bass drives along one of his typically stomping grooves, metallic atonal synths giving the track an icy cool. subtle dashes of infectious percussion increase the tracks energy, with a big atmospheric break allowing some hypnotic fx to take centre stage. it is a heady, dark ride that carries a lot of weight without ever overbearing.

longtime raíz collaborator subversive makes his debut on droid sister label vrv with chainbreaker. subversive has appeared previously on historia y violencia and contruct re-form (under the name deception plan with voiski). this release for vrv is a collection of 3 tracks that reflect his focused, methodical programming. the title track stretches a deep, driving narrative over the course of 7 minutes, perfect for adding hypnotic breathing room to any set. the other side contains intergalactic, a subtle and harmonic passage that sets the stage for a2, telemore. telomere begins with intense, brooding synth design that inevitably builds into heavy rhythm structures, providing the sets most driving dance sounds.

for our second release on wavereform, we continue our explorations into sophisticated sounds from mostly-unexplored areas with the production debut from juras lietus, a 25 year-old latvian producer from riga whose mysterious origins in this out-of-the-way locale may surprise listeners, but whose sound fits very well into the label�s mission to reform the sound sphere with simple and elegant tracks that demand attention and bring unknown talent deserved notice. lietus wastes no time in showing off his developed dub techno style on >dark frank< as the bold, well-defined contours of the bottom end are contrasted with gentler ambient textures in the opening, it acquires more force as it moves along as he adds harder percussion patterns to the framework while the dense atmospherics progress barely in the background. >direct< is the more subtle and atmospheric of the pair, as crisp, delicate drums develop slowly while also suggesting melody. it too gains strength as it goes though, with ricocheting percussion and a barely-controlled feedback wail leading into a dramatic breakdown before he slowly winds things down in the detail-rich final section. j&#363,,,,,,,ras lietus and latvian techno may be mostly unknown, but this strong showing for wavereform 002 reveals much still to be uncovered in these eastern lands.
