das erste treffen der vier bandmitglieder nach einer langen auszeit fand in texas statt, als man sich die zeit nahm, sich als alte freunde wieder anzunähern und als musiker wieder auf eine wellenlänge zu kommen. entsprechend fällt das grandiose ergebnis aus. zum ersten mal schreiben grizzly bear neue songs gemeinsam, zum ersten mal singen die beiden sänger ed droste und daniel rossen gemeinsam, alle titel tragen die handschrift jedes einzelnen der vier mitglieder. so geschlossen und eindringlich hat man diese band noch nie zuvor gehört. shields enthält einige der grössten und mutigsten tracks, die grizzly bear je geschrieben haben, die ihren unbedingten willen zur ehrlichen, ungefilterten gefühlsäusserung offen vermitteln. der grizzly bear-kosmos hat seinen neuen höhepunk

kill for love, chromatics first album since night drive, finally gives this loosely associated, prematurely decayed musical aesthetic its magnum opus and brilliantly transcends it.

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.

gregor tresher and cocoon are linked by a long-time relationship which starts all the way back in 2004, when sven väth played gregors productions in heavy rotation. > about a good place< is a huge prime time floor monster as we like it.

mit gefühlvollem detroit-minimalismus wissen die beiden vorzeige-elektroniker norken (metamatics) und deer (aka martin hirsch) auf ihrem langerwarteten koopalbum >don marco< zu begeistern, das sich unmittelbar der >shoot the sun< ep aus februar 2012 anschliesst und nicht nur hydrogen dukebox-, sondern auch fans der labelinstitutionen leaf, r&s, kompakt und warp ansprechen wird.
inklusive cd-version des albums mit allen 10 tracks.

sonar kollektivs inclination towards dubbed out pop/dance music is definitely no secret (see fat freddys drop or eva be). but with this brand new 7inch the berlin label hits the nail on the head. chicago-born jeremy sole is one of the program selectors at renowed la radio station kcrw and hosts a weekly party in santa monica where he blends afrobeat, funk, reggae, latin, brazilian and everything else under the sun!

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.

eric erickssons not exactly the most prolific producer in the world but what he lacks in releases he certainly makes up for in quality. in 1997 eric signed his debut ep to derrick mays fragile records, established his own kass recordings in 2004 and then last year put out his killer someone is watching ep on carl craigs planet e. >love cannot< remixer mr beatnick has been in popular demand since his slow jack remix of hints >one woman army< on tru thoughts profoundly pushed his production skills into the limelight, quickly backed by the 2011 track >synthetes< on semteks >dont be afraid< label, which featured on many tracks of 2011 lists. his follow up ep, sun goddess, has already gained critical acclaim and support from the likes of gilles peterson on radio 1.

next michel cleis masterpiece , this time on dj kozes pampa records... >mir a nero< begins with a steady, upbeat kick underlying a simple piano arpeggio - like if philip glass make dance music - but then some accents of vibrant hand percussion loosen up the vibe, soon progressing into rhythmic layers that cause the energy to swell. by the 4-minute mark, a subtle, buzzing synth permeates the background, contrasting the tracks overall organic feel, leading into the playful piano chords and colombian vocal hook. simply put, this is latin house with that anomalous pampa records swagger, drenched with flavor like sangria-soaked mango. flip that baby over and you get >amaranthus<, named after the famed flower that represents immortality. this piece stands as a color-negative of >mir a nero<, an unwavering stomp with just shadows of the piano sample heard earlier. freeze-dried rather than sun-ripened, >amaranthus< is a dubby, more technofied counterpart to the a-side, crafted for deeper and darker moments on the dancefloor.

straying away from their more familiar cutting-edge drum & bass landscape, im:ltd are taking to pastures new with their latest offspring from the somewhat uninhibited and off-kilter quentin hiatus. with a deep sun-dappled atmosphere, mixing old-school house vibes and snappy hooks with a dirty south laidback feel, the different strokes ep might be another mellow and melodic release but its not going to blend into the background. showing a real sense of movement and progression, this ep surely deserves a full play through as each track unravels in its own time, and fits together in order like an audio jigsaw puzzle.

the ultimate summer ep for open air lovers! pazul comes along with four deep melodic driven tracks, that will make you shiver in the sun

in the context of shigetos debut lp lineage, >huron river drive< functions as a respite of sorts, a brief stop on the roadside of a very personal into the past. but as this single release proves, it also stands alone as a pleasantly understated piece of electronic beauty. the track swells slowly from the simple chord sequence of the intro into a lushly textured slice of late-night atmospherics – with more than a hint of jazz to be found in the brushed percussion and quietly tinkling electronic piano – and then receding back into the same sequence as the track draws to a close.

counter pulse stays substantial to the underground model & presents a mysterious alias by the scandinavian artist lodbrok. in contrast to other vinyl labels today counter pulse show no agenda to pick up the current trends and safe-name remixers to gain quick sales.
feukt call ep is precisely all that in a nicely shaped up four tracker release including a remix by henning baer from sonic groove, plus a remix from and from black sun records.
ponderous irregular rhythms with a focus on erosion & intense hi-hat patterns with cautiously arranged stabs is what this ep is all about.

this lust und freude release by rodrigo polder aka re- light from santiago de chile is a jazzy-house style ep perfect for the summer season ready to spread the joy and make the sun shine brighter.

suggestive mood under the spanish sun, innocent guitars ----smoothly give the fundament for floating percussions, full of hot vocals

our little dutch sun god onno knows best how to make the kids shine, and as expected, hes put together a breakwater just in time for beach season: whatever makes you happy glides on on the crest of the a1 groove with a heavy-duty surfboard. its laconic vocal work and dynamic drum rolls are echoed in the remix by nicola jah at coordinates b2. this italian producer dives into stiller waters, which of course run deep down into the vibrant ocean of sound. for the b1 onno provides similarly strong dancing material, shooting pool on the sundeck of his boat and knocking “8ball” into the hole of victory. finally, magit cacoon, our latest roster addition and the first woman on deck of the uy vessel, cruises via the digital route for her debut, an utterly deep remix of whatever makes you happy with bass that sets uy061s sails toward a blissful ending to the voyage

the restless berliners are back to bring some sun back to the dancefloors. fargo is a real open air hymn which you can only love or hate. an oldschool organ bassline on a minimal house beat topped with strings and disco vocals. this must be a hit. save yourself i a little bit darker but also a pretty strong track with a piano hook that you wont get out of your head too soon. the b side takes it back a notch with the more laid back tracks now youre gone and the fargo remix from the young and talented mass digital from serbia. thats proper deep house here on keno records.

following up after the mental drop by detroits master of repetition, population one, we have a new signing hailing from the land of the rising sun, helping us to set the standards for this new imprint— uncompromised techno funk! japanese producer imugem orihasam has spent the past 3 years slowly evolving. his early work on ilian tape and esperanza sounds like that of an already seasoned craftsman digesting detroit bit by bit, with a focus on lush textures and swooning eerie melodies. this past year has seen a spike in activity for imugem, with releases on patrice scotts sistrum recordings, berlins nsyde, and adam marshalls new kanada—all showcasing a more focused and exuberant approach that has sharpened his reflective compositions. with gem, imugem steps away from the supple melodies and tranquil atmospheres for a trip deep into the power plant.

ready to get weird this summer? matthew dekay and lee burridge certainly are with the launch of their second imprint in 6 months following the success of their first label all day i dream. while adid represents their love of all things emotional and melodic and embraces thier signature sound perfect for their outdoor parties of the same name get weird will see releases geared towards the music they play after dark. a place to showcase more dubby, techy, slinky and sultry rhythms to hypnotize dancefloors when the sun goes down.

the fourth release on steyoyoke continues the labels run of quality house music brimming with new flavours. >back and forth< provides a dashingly bright endeavour and is a perfect fit for the sommer! using numerous aliass with releases on such labels as crossworld records and neurotraxx deluxe, sasch has built himself a reputable name as a skilled producer, his first release on steyoyoke, certainly is a prove. oozing with bright flavours and sun drenched grooves, >back and forth< is a sharp-edged tool for those summer sets, rich in glowing synth lines and warm atmospheres.

san gabriel is the new forward-thinking beat project from the multi-instrumentalist/producer butchy fuego. his upcoming ep volfe is full of warped and pulsing pan-global club music, a signature marriage of tropical riddims, dubbed out soundscapes and modern r&b minimalism. striking the perfect balance of booming bass and tricky rhythms, our first taste from the upcoming ep >gore text< makes for some serious sideways heat. san gabriel has caught the attention of the press early on with signature frantic rhythms and twitchy hi-hat work. along with >gore text<, san gabriel offers up a b-side (not on volfe) called >nu boots< that evokes some aztec sun rave in the year 2040 vibes. just a fiery taste of whats to come on this upcoming debut ep volfe.

this release should have an all natural ingedients sticker on it. all sounds you hear are from traditional instruments - recorded on various occasions in ivory coast. it took mr raoul k quite some time to get his hand on all the raw materia he needed. he then cut it in bits and pieces and rearranged the sonic puzzle to a slowly evolving track. join his journey that starts in the cold of a desert at night. the temperature rises with the sun. when things heat up too much, you have to take a rest in the shadows beneath a tree. meet some fiends, talk and relax - but dont get lost. keep you groove alive and head toward your destination. choose vinyl, please!!!

the moritz von oswald trio operates at the bleeding edges where musical lineages collide. feeling for the shared heartbeat that pulses through dub, techno and jazz, it seeks out points of contact before exploding them outward into hypnotic explorations of rhythm, texture and tone. after two previous studio albums and one live album through honest jons, the trio - moritz von oswald, max loderbauer (nsi / sun electric) and sasu ripatti (vladislav delay / luomo) - returns with fetch, their most fully-realized voyage yet into these in-between worlds.

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.

a couple of months after the release of sweet nothings, dapayk & padberg are once again treating the vinyl-heads amongst us to a 12? consisting of a sunny selection of the albums core material, just in time for spring. kicking off the a-side, berlin summer nights is nothing short of an anthem: classic rave sounds of epic proportions glide through an arrangement of bouncy beats, crisp percussive work and hopeful vocals until a powerful breakdown delivers the hands-in-the-air moment. this year, summer has come early. next up, the sun came up bedazzles with a pumping beat and robotic vocals, while a progressive synth lead helps along the track’s love lyrics, turning this into a truly stunning musical moment, which already proved its power at sweet nothings’ heart. on the flip, dapayk & padberg present the albums opener, the trippy too lazy. here, were dealing with a rather brooding afterhours number that is equal parts paranoid and mesmerising as a wonky bass vibrates under dubbed out pads, eerie synths and vocal whispers. the perfect antidote to the cheery a-side!

almost four years after his last dial record single >miles< lawrence is back with another tribute to the sun. in the meantime he was still busy with a couple of releases for mule musiq, laid, smallville and dj kozes pampa imprint. his first mix cd >timeless< has been recorded lately for cocoon recordings. coming home to his own imprint prooves once more how modern house music should sound like: deep, moving and always surprising. >etoile du midi already travelled around the globe including tokyo, london, berlin and hamburg to finally being cut on vinyl after bringing the magic to all those lovely clubs worldwide
