young marco is a gentleman from amsterdam. this is his first offering for the esp institute. it makes us smile and we are sure you will smile too. with his head in the clouds, marco blends soaring melodies that harmonize beautifully over loop-de-loops of bass lines and bleeps. his warm analogue aesthetic invites us to his daydream, a place of innocence where we can do no wrong, dancing eyes-closed as the sun rises somewhere outside. this is pure feel good dance music, no gimmicks, no pretense, just right.

remastered and limited re-issue of this ambient masterpiece by biosphere.

for the past decade or so, polish musician michal jacaszek has been exploring a new, resolutely modern chapter in eastern europes long, storied love affair with classical music. his creations are painstakingly crafted collages of electronic textures and baroque instrumentation, harpsichords being swarmed by woolly static one minute and pulled apart by billowing wind the next. ambient music - if we can generalize unnecessarily for a second - is rarely so sonically challenging.
limited to 700 copies, including free download coupon.

another epic seahawks voyage and this time theyre heading for the deep ocean of outer space. the results have been likened to the klfs chill out album performed by astroanuts. yep its that spacey but theres plenty of baked groove excursions along with the cosmic dinner jazz. imagine that instead of creating yah mo be there, michael mcdonald and james ingram hopped aboard a spaceship captained by sun ra and set the controls for alpha centauri. somewhere between the sea of tranquillity and the red heat of mars they find a party going on, klaus schulze is jamming with chic and peter frampton, kenny loggins is on bongos and the horn section from the doobie brothers are blowing soft and sweet but mike and jim have taken a whole lot of mind bending psychotropics and the music sounds like nothing theyve ever heard before. you are entering the seahawks universe, let your mind roam free. to ensure premium audio fidelity, the lp was mastered at abbey road and pressed at vinyl factory. as ever the artwork is beautiful and the edition is limited so get your skates on!

heralding the birth of the first leleka is a limited edition, hand stamped, two-tone vinyl release from the labels owner vakula from konotop, whos name is widespread due to the success of releases on firecracker, and recently shevchenko (white labels with prints of ukrainian literary celebrities such as gogol, lesya ukrainka & shevchenko himself). these are an ideally captured ukrainian landscape of change, struggle, nature and art slightly embellished by industrial design of the 50s. and this is what the leleka label is all about, its musical concept reflects vakulas love of folk and live music, where passions and melodies play leading roles. this debut release contains six vintage tracks from vakula, almost serving as a prologue to his recent epic output. the meeting of imported soul, exploitation movies and detroit techno, with ukrainian folk melodies and soviet electronics, offers a glimpse into vakulas way of working, and gives us a taste of things to come

ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the shimmy sham sham sessions. fall is knocking at the door. dancers bathe into the red sunsets hoping to squeeze the very last drop out of summers bliss. they know theyll soon have to haul their tropicana scented butt to reality… but in the meantime they gaze upon those last three months of love and dreams. half stunned, they let their mind wander across the meanders of the promising days to come. time has stopped. the beat keeps on rolling, and those words swirl and resonate in your head: >pony loves the sun, to touch her back and see her run…< in the heat of the night, let those sweaty numbers melt your worries. no top hat and gator shoes required…just shake that ass!

trust now is the keystone album of brooklyns prince rama. the album takes the kaleidoscopic mysticism of ancient devotional music and focuses it through the fierce urgency and archetypal language of pop, forming an environment that is both accessible and impenetrable. deep synths rise from a sparkling sea of gamelans and prayer bells as tribal drums pound the earth with the hypnotic power to heal or destroy. voices carry captivating and haunting melodies that shine like the diamond jewels of old bollywood soundtracks spilling over dark wave dance floors.
first conceived as a ritual to be performed live, the songs were fittingly recorded inside a 19th century church in seattle by scott colburn (sun city girls, animal collective, arcade fire). as their 5th full-length album, and first as a duo, trust now is perhaps prince ramas most focused, cohesive and powerful album to date.

the 250 rec continues on his journey only vinyl productions. the series continues with this new artist showing two tracks. >sugga gal riddim< is a dub session with tropical sounds and atmospheres that recall moments are often forgotten. a beautiful atmosphere that can bring a smile and calm in a stressful life now. the version of stefano testa makes it closer to the classic dancefloor and parties ... perfect for those moments where the sun rises, the moments when you think about life and how everyday life is beautiful in itself, times you feel alive. >dirty< is the hit! a crescendo of rhythm and atmosphere that will blow every dancefloor. smile and no desire to stop for any reason. sounds dirty and syncopated. another powerful 250 recs vinyl!

the black dog are a legendary live act whose ability to destroy venues and wreck soundsystems is undeniable. they blur the boundaries between djing and performance while possessing an excellent sense of where to take the crowd. live, they represent purist techno, which is also utterly crowd pleasing. on record, tbd are famous for delivering subtlety, emotion, and intellectual richness, as well as great tunes, but never in their career have they managed to convey the sheer visceral impact of their performances as on liber dogma. this album contrasts with last years extremely well-received ambient outings on music for real airports and the dadavistic orkestra collaboration with members of the psychick warriors of gaia. while none of the bands artistry and care has been lost, there is now a greater focus on a pure, and utterly exhilarating, vision of how techno can transform the dancefloor into a realm of complete pleasure.

the long awaited >thracian ep< by bogdan irkuk a.k.a. bulgari is finally here. already played by idjut boys in tokyo and supported by heavy names such as mark e and toby tobias to name a few.
bogdan asked to include this legendary quote by his hero brahim ivaylov, written on the back of the record sleeve. -... it came down from the mountains, over the wind-swept plains, we covered our faces as the wind and the sun spoke with one voice, singing our songs so impossibly true...- brahim ivaylov, thrace, 1906.
these few words really capture a lot about the mood of this masterpiece. dont miss this release - no repressing.

operating from one of the midlands most rejected and decaying brutalist structures, this new label is committed to vinyl releases. adapta is steve conner. steve began making music in 98 when he formed bitstream with his brother dave, releasing music together until 2008. after a 3 year break following a cycling accident, steve has fired up his analogue equipment again. his setup is constructed around a completely redesigned memorymoog from 1982, with roland and elektron hardware. everything is controlled via a custom designed interface, and recorded live.

the big idea! ahoy sarp yilmaz and sinan kaya. after several eps on various labels now release their debut on simple as that records. the two guys from the big metropolis of istanbul bring us here, two beads which make the sun rise. the two men schaeufler & zovsky (acker records, 3000°) and andre kronert (ostwind, night drive music) each control still in a wonderful remix. even more diversity on this record is thus ensured.

experimental edged, industrial-esque noisy techno ep.

already played by sven väth, seth troxler. joris voorn, tiefschwarz, reboot... the london resident ross evana already excelled as dj at pacha nyc, at ministry of sound london or in the we love space series in ibiza. his track >thrilla in manila< first takes its time to build up before it sets a tremendously powerful exclamation mark on the dancefloor with its tropical-hypnotic percussions. with its second track, the ninth edition of cocoons 10 inch -series leads us to the land of the midnight sun. the two stockholm-born cousins alex caytas and aleks patz have started their musical collaboration only in 2007 but can already look back on a hand full of very good produced releases for the stuttgart-based label parquet recordings and the italian label caremella, as well as on remixes for martin dawson/king roc and voltique. >blue sea< shows the duos affinity to the energetic deep house techno of the nineties: with its organ sound, blues vocals and a highly infectous bass line, this track could almost pass as a modern and uncluttered version of st. germain, being predestined for warm summer nights. this is how techno sounds in 2011.
