with san laurentinos dreamers & wanders ep, lets play house brings forth a hauntingly beautiful record ideal for the winter ahead—this is music in which to take shelter from lengthening shadows, a warm place in a cold, cold world.

nawlin dahlin sir stephen knows why the cajun bird sings. the homme of homage creates a time-trippin, style-hoppin virtual reality fantasy zone with his new lp house of regalia. 8 flava profiles to drop on yr tongue – from the brand new heavies-inspired, ndea-diva vocals by fleur de lis on >one x one<, to the cooltempo/rare groove take on new order, >dance for life<, to the underworld-weary born-and-raised slippy ripper >get wet<. hor is a lux layer cake of sister-soul mantras (i ll be pushin on!), acid jazz latte lounge breaks, jackin-the-black box piano house holds, thrown shades, fashion plates, and dizzy dancefloor dee-lites. this is music for dancers, pure n sample. limited edition 500 vinyl with luscious spencer longo x-scape cover art.

(first 50 get free poster!) check out the sickest blend of dark tribal exotica and monkey voodoo around...

returning to this chicago label, he brings a solid release beginning with a spaced out soundscape & flows into dark devotional energies, an eerie cut with killer drums like the china syndrome. place space this galaxy and easing the cosmic streets take on the flip on this essential ep.

oooooh! ame take it kraut and properly nail it! one sided limited edition sampler for gerd jansons forthcoming musik for autobahns compilation on rush hour ... we love this!

waze & odyssey take a break from launching their own label, providing a guest mix for skream and bengas radio show and remixing the likes of teed and disclosure to return to disco bloodbath recordings, where they provided a much acclaimed remix to the labels debut release, damon martin - ‘that aint right, earlier this year.

slowly building, soul-soothing, and disco-fuelled house with a nod to both the great masters from chicago and the new electronic breed. lisbon producer and lux resident ramboiage likes to take it slow to take things further. >del fuego< kicks off modestly with a simple beat and some light percussion, creating and eerie mood. but then some tasty, disco-fuelled heavy house kicks in, and the tune starts to roll unstoppable, riding on a horn hook. funky like a train, as the mighty equals would say. spanish om records darling al velilla steps up the pace a little bit and lets the original float over some tasty discohouse beats and eighties-flavoured synths.

calcutta destination danger is the common project of guillaume & the coutu dumonts and oleg poliakov. together they create a force of lethal dancefloor explosion. let them take you on their underwater mission or their fearful man hunt on this first ever collective ep on the always surprising and exciting musique risquée

limited edition 7 inch. 400 numbered copies, hand screen printed. andy warhol would be proud.

detropolis (original mix) is optic nerves take on detroitís infrastructure rebuilding. detropolis opens with the unmistakable optic nerve strings giving you a sense of riding on a futuristic people mover in the night time summer air. the dark and twisted growly baselines makes you long for partying in the new downtown detroit.

so you didnt get that last firecracker that came in an incredible sleeve and was limited to 45 copies? well now you and the other 99% of humanity can at least own the music contained within it with this regular re-release, and to be honest although the sleeve isnt hand-weaved by a peruvian tribe centuries known for their mastery of textile craft, the one yer getting here is pretty goddamn sweet. bringing together calypso rhythms and bernie worrell-does-acid lines, fudge fingas >untytled< is an exemplary example of why everyone is in admiration of the geezer, and that is because he can actually make actual music, with compositions and melody and all that. excuse the lofty jargon. linkwood bring equal heat in the form of >secret value<, but guess what? fudge fingas has gone and blessed it with the refreshing audio equivalent of yer girlfriends mint & tea tree shower gel, adding liquid bass and lush keys. the fingas finishes off the e.p with one of his most interesting tracks to date >minus 616<, a dense, immersive piano piece that proves that getting this e.p out to a wider audience was just simply a righteous and necessary move. take that skinny tie off, wrap it round yer arm and mainline that uncut funk, baby.

two power cuts that melt classicist chicago school of design elements with a post-industrial take

plymouths 14th best dj aldo vanucci drops his latest in the form of this killer ep. >you re all show< features the sublime vocals of kylie auldist - best known as the lead singer of the bamboos but also a massive star in her own right. in this track she lyrically tears down some unfortunate individual who has been showing out a little too much. >take me to a party< features rappers asm batting off the unwanted attentions of the post gig sparkle ponies and with aldos backing creates a classic hip hop party vibe. >what happened?< re-works a classic vocal to devastating effect and >alone< re-creates the off kilter breakbeat vibe of aldos biggest track to date >when i see you smile<.

the iconic 2001 debut album by the strokes gets its more than deserved vinyl re-issue.

strut proudly presents the first definitive retrospective of one of the most influential labels and producers of chicago house music, cajmere and the seminal cajual records imprint, celebrating a huge 20 years of hard jacking classics and seminal us garage.

as the title suggests the new before the show album depicts beginnings and endings. we believe that life has many different beginnings and endings, and that the various journeys we take from one beginning to one end are filled with detours – and it is these detours which continually shape and define us as the people we are. musically years&years&years picks up where hearts and heads left off, however, it has developed towards a bigger and more complex sound image. it can best be described as a combination of sting and peter gabriel on one hand, and smashing pumpkins and radiohead on the other.

kranky was a bit surprised earlier this year when jessica bailiff contacted us and asked if we wanted to preview her new album for possible release. we had no idea she had even been working on an album, let alone had completed one, and we were rewarded with a listen to her most compelling album to date.

jack dixon follows a string of critically acclaimed releases for apollo (r&s), take and losing suki (hypercolour) with his debut outing for hotflush. influenced by the sparse atmospherics of wolfgang voigt, the playful intricacy of autechre beats and the off-kilter grooves of uk garage, the berlin-based producer is unconstrained by genre or place, pioneering a modern, progressive sound that has already garnered him a glowing reputation. in turns colourful, ambient, melodic and driving, his new ep feels right at home on scubas label. beginning with a deceptively clean and minimal rhythm, >e< slowly gives way to lush glacial drones, skittering beats and huge euphoric drops to form a bold production that sits somewhere between the early morning techno dancefloors of berlin and the murky sweatbox raves of late-night south london. on the flip, he delivers the soulfully taut >find shelter<. warped vocals weave in and out of an insistent, jazzy house groove, backed by a tapestry of glitches, vinyl crackle and live drum flourishes. it all leads to one of the most delirious and ecstatic drops you will hear this year.

limited to 700 copies !! incl 3 x 12 inch (coloured vinyl) + 2 cds and dvd, photo book with 270 pages, watergate guestlist coupon, a1 poster, special cover... timeless

chairlift present takes on several cuts from acclaimed second album >something< by some of their favorite producers, showcasing how their songs can easily be adapted for the club. appropriately titled the 6.15amix, spanish equipo fantástico john talabot and pional turn >i belong in your arms< into a balearica-infused club-closer. a nifty piano line and seductive rhythm take the song on a late night (or rather early morning) trip to the beach, while carolines voice is being warped into something from outer space. photek takes the same track to a whole different place with his powerful jungle interpretation. martyn respects both the pace and rhythm of sidewalk safari, yet exchanges the clean production for a rather more cosmic beat, incorporating many of his signature touches to compliment the sinister >i m gonna hunt you down< lyric. dan careys dub mix of >sidewalk safari< shows a more playful side, while arguably the most intriguing remix of the package is the fields take on >met before<, recalling his early work it is so warped and layered you may struggle to imagine the original minus the smallest of hints.

already support by michel cleis, m.a.n.d.y, tini, negru, jorge savoretti, grego g, gui mutuel, psykoloco, roman noriega... french kitchen is a label of electronic music and intelligent sounds recipes based in paris. it was born in 2012 by the chiefs hands of the music duo sucré salé and their cocobeach friends. how to cook. a fashionable sweet and salty techno recipe: take a good soft kick and simmer in a light reverb effect. add hight hat, crashes and percussions. sprinkle a good pinch of balkanique groove. melt a good motivating base and add it to the mixture. add the nappees, a few vocals freshly recorded and two returns. cover in breadcrumbs and let it cook as long as a rakia. french kitchen family offers us her first release with a various artists cooked by chiefs hands. in it you ll find a combination of groovy house, soft musical techno and intelligent music recipes signed by international chiefs like alejandro mosso, anthéa, michael melchner, vid and some others... enjoy

idiot savant masterpieces is the 3rd release and the first full solo ep by amir alexander on the vanguard sound record label. on display is amirs somewhat off kilter take on u.s. dance music. an approach so different that one critic described the work of amir and his crew as idiot savant masterpieces. all bases are covered, acid, deep, big room, and banging techno with a little hip house thrown in for good measure. vanguard sound is quickly establishing itself as a label to watch so serious collectors should buy this one on sight!

up next on scubas hotflush recordings is the stunning debut ep >forever for now< from 20 year-old duo shelter point. through the use of field recordings, upright pianos, their own chopped and screwed vocals and a varied palette of synths, the pair have created a lush and elegant four track love letter that is bound to make their contemporaries stand up and take note. >braille< sets the scene, its wistful, haunting vocals delicately slinking along to emotive and complex analogue synths, only slightly changing course on the vibrating and discordant 80s inspired >hold on me<. on the flip is the title track, a compelling and experimental piano ballad, rich with vinyl crackle and a bittersweet lyrical flow (forever burned your picture in my mind) followed by the pop-inspired >sleep easy<, a sweetly composed bedroom soul production kitted out with filtered synths and dubbed out atmospherics. a unique and memorable debut from a very bright new talent, shelter point is here to stay.

das texanische quartett beschwört dylan und die 60er-jahre. die vinyl-lp kommt inklusive code für kostenfreien mp3-download des albums.

4 tracks, taken from the cd album! in >shortcake strategy<, fairytale-like melodies are backed with thought provoking harmonies that pave the way for an explicitly visual experience. we have been introduced to a new face of the berlin-based producer. shortcake is a simple recipe. it doesnt take a lot of planning or much thought or attention when preparing it, and in the end, it will be light, fluffy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying. falko might say the same about his approach to the creation of >shortcake strategy<, yet the end product sees his most dynamic and emotional productions to date, leaving us with the feeling that this comes from a strategy that requires far more thought, and is far more complicated than that of a sugary dessert.

two of the uks most formidable names in techno step into the ring for a head to head on theory. stephen brown is a man who certainly needs no introduction, and his knack of channeling the best of detroit innovation and adding his own distinct flavours shows no sign of letting up. on >fuego< and >polar< brown takes us further into the jacking zone, his signature lush melodies driving up the rear until they envelope the tracks in a haze of deep and emotive vibrations, but never letting up on the tough rhythms. ben sims is drafted in to remix both tracks, leaving slicing shards of sound and roughing up the beat on his remix of >polar<, before delving into a hard-funk take of >fuego<. big business from two keepers of the true techno flame.

bursting for curiosity? take a listen! >burst!< - new, stunning peaches ep out on bnr!

klectik018 brings a special various artists release from the label. the aim of the ep is to feature 4 stunning top shelf tracks from the contributing artists, and it without a doubt succeeds in this goal.

the 3rd release on axe gabba records by the axe gabba murda mob is a fact once again total oblivion by the mob in the form of 4 skull crumbling tracks. the head hit axe gabba mental murda beatz, blood languange, skoro budo and bullet proof bitch take the meaning of high quality alpha hardcore to the next level. next level stuff!

permanently being busy performing, the so funky duo masomenos nevertheless take their time to produce. such as the artwork basically already is announcing it, things go in cycles in masomenosville (s/s). so, this ep is the start of a new series, and a delicious example on how to effectively create different moods.. st jacut (with lemos, feat. jaw (dop) is the charming vocal opener... go on my son (with lemos) is the classic housey lift-up, tomorrow (feat jaw (dop) got that reflective vibe. finally tofidi (with lemos) is an ohhh so effective masterpiece...yeppa.!!

having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.

emerging from the endless summers of venice, ca to teaming up with shlohmo, jonwayne, d33j, rl grime and more to form the wedidit crew, jasper patterson aka groundislava has transformed from bashful video gamer to full-fledged composer. the son of michael patterson (who directed a-has standout music video >take on me< and paula abduls >opposites attract<), groundislava has roots that draw from 80s nostalgia, tv and pop culture that grow and transform into the 21st century aesthetic of electronic music.

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

icu boy n dread has been making some serious waves of late and when you hear his music, it doesn’t take long to understand why. his debut here on smokin sessions is soulful and beautifully engineered. clean crisp highend frequencies tickle your ear drums and the low end cuts through with a weighty punch. all 3 tracks have been supported by the deep heads page and had a very positive response.

heartfelt records continues to cement its emphasis on deep and hypnotic bass music with the second instalment of the disgu!se remixes series. this time round we find consequence, hot off the tails of his tempa release, unleashing an atmospheric and tribal take on disgu!ses sultry >inside out of love<. part soundtrack, part techno, all good – this will have you going back for more time and time again. over on the aa disgu!se rework their song >hourglass< into the lush and emotive fashionably late mix which moves gracefully all the way to the run out groove, making this another solid 12 inch with the punter well and truly in mind. the original versions will be available on disgu!ses debut album, coming soon. limited to 300 copies. hand stamped and stickered with 2 alternative stamps.

preceding a full length album on 4lux, ka§par showcases his amazing talents on this second ep for 4lux. the portuguese producer comes with some of the most interesting dance music around. got good love is a tough deep house groover that comes as both original and with a nicholas remix. cruising andromeda is a futuristic techno tune for forward thinking deejays. on hyphen kaspar slows down the pace and tosses in some 707 action: a crazy ride with rough synths and spaced out effects. ka§pars releases have become rare and sought after, releasing little more than one 12inch a year in the recent past when one listens to the result, it only proves how great things take their time.
