dolly goes all raw as we might expect from a label thats done by a panoramabar resident dj. stripped down, barenaked tracks that show their fragile essence. and in case you wonder why these tracks have such a great chicago-ish vibe, well thats because they are from chicago. no further info about this new project from a known producer... but all we can say is that we like it.

inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

with the release of >free k. loudwiggle< the accumulation of impressions from over the last 2 years has ended. the musical production took about 21 months working in berlin and the circle. during the productionperiod my technical tools and instruments enormously developed making it a very inspiring time to create and arrange rythmics and harmonies.
at a dark night in autumn 2009 i decided to move back from berlin to the circle. back around christmas 2009 the quiet wintermonths took over and re-created the studio in the circle where i was able to sitdown and mixdown the tracks i created over the last 21 months in berlin.
for the first time i decided to give this particular album the unique touch by handmaking all the artwork. every single record has been handstamped both sides, the covers manually printed and put together. all 200 pieces are different and have their own singular identity. now, at the end of june 2010 i can present this big collection of expressions. quagmire ltd is a small platform to release this debutalbum. limited to 200 pieces of triplepack 12 inch including 13 mixes.
love

its been a heady few months d julzs bass culture imprint. the response and support from the dj world has been overwhelming, and this is of course down to the wonderful a&r skills of the label chief. still reeling from anonyms excellent lov is easy ep, we ready ourselves for the debut of ep from oleg poliakov. also known for his releases under the skat moniker, olegs early production career was built on creating beats for hip-hop mcs and lending his studio skills to rappers. switching to radio production, he went onto to work with french national stations, further enhancing his technical skills. it was at this time his began to explore electronic music as a composer. with a sound that strays from specifics, he looks to create his own compositions using a subtle combo of all electronic worlds. his early releases on labels including karat and sthlmaudio won him acclaim, but it is his releases for circus company that have really put him on the map. today we welcome oleg to bass culture with his fantastic caravan e.p.

bristol-based kss black records are proud to present their second vinyl release:
a: holdtight ? blackstone ? holdtight make a welcome return with a rollicking slab of lo-fidelity sci-fi drum & bass. a steely backbone of percussion provides the skeleton to which a gut wrenching sub line and precision cyber-bleeps are built. full of atmospherics and stabs blackstone offers up a master class in layering grooves to capture the crowd. this one wont stop until it gets you!
aa: mute ? suspense ? the flip for this fine 12inch features the brothers mute, with a massive debut vinyl release! >suspense< has got skanker written all over it, reminiscent of the days grooverider was dropping adam fs seminal track >metropolis< on dub. modern production values are infused with the sweaty funk of 90?s dancefloor tech. heavily influenced by the sounds of photek and, more recently, break with technical drum programming and a bassline to trouble any bass bin as they looking backwards to move forward. you wont miss it when this tune drops.. bassface time! featuring on baileys 1xtra show several times last year this is not a tune to miss out on. both tracks have been receiving heavy support from bailey, lomax, survival & break.

fresh 2010 repress !! historia y violencia is a new project exploring the hispanic roots of santiago salazar (dj s2) and j. mendez (silent servant). both producers dissect their latin upbringings as a cinematic theme to create snapshots of the day-to-day blood and sweat that has shaped them as individuals. the sound takes cue from detroit, berlin and chicago to create classic, deep dancefloor tracks. santiago salazar started djing in the early 90s inspired by mix tapes his brother was bringing back from the gay underground scene in los angeles. his style has always been a mixture of house and techno. after moving to detroit, santiago began his music training with mike banks, label founder of underground resistance. he is also half of the duo ican (ican productions / planet e) who have been responsible for some killer techno releases. the central american born j. mendez cut his teeth as jasper in the late 90s/early 2000s, running the california-based cytrax label. a veteran dj from the age of 16, he has performed worldwide in clubs from berlin to osaka. along with technical wizards kit clayton and sutekh, he helped shed light on the small but influential minimal techno scene on the west coast. a chance meeting with karl oconnor in 1999 established a friendship that would later open the door to the sandwell district label in 2006. silent servants sound is a reinterpretation of early 80s post-punk electronics, paired with the deep, metallic sounds of basic channel and downwards.

in the late 1920s and the 1930s, at the end of many performances, all of the musicians, singers, and dancers would get together on stage and do one last routine: the shim sham, shim sham shimmy or just sham. dancers would perform technical variations, while singers and musicians would shuffle along as they were able.

attention - triple album for the price of a double! mothership tranmsission 019 – >voodeux - the paranormal<
two years ago, on the east coast of america, a couple of highly technical production wizards joined forces and created their own genre of strange and creepy techno under the moniker, voodeux. one from boston and the other from philadelphia, tanner ross and james watts first released >the curse< ep on mothership in 2008 with great success. with dj support rolling in from everywhere claude vonstroke soon commissioned them to record a full-length album of this new moody sound. voodeuxs debut album, >the paranormal< is a concentrated vision of myth and mysterious beats, exploring the eerie after-life side of techno like no other artists have done to date. it is a vision of ghosts and goblins hiding in the closet ready to scare the daylights out of you. using dark funk, ghoulish atmospheres and futuristic production, voodeux is staking their claim as the next generation of american techno and >the paranormal< is a techno masterwork for the modern underworld.

this is quite simply one of the most glorious records you will hear this year. it would be easy to lazily reference it against classic period rephlex/planet mu stuff (oops, i just did!), and indeed it appears to share some of the same heritage (even going so far as to feature a remix of rephlex artist global goon in its tracklisting) - but chris leary aka ochre is obviously a man on his own mission. gorgeously lush, but at the same time super-funky…as electronic as kraftwerk starring in a remake of tron, yet somehow as pastoral and organic as edward elgar…much like his label-mate ed chamberlain, leary manages that tricky task of being supremely technical in his programming and arrangements, but without losing the heart and soul of the music amidst all the studio trickery. you know that old chestnut often said when referring to vintage or classic music, >they dont make them like that any more<? well they do…and here it is! simply fantastic.

>can ting< is west indian slang for a steel pan, a much loved instrument in the caribbean world. here the duo takes on this magnificant sound maker that brings people together in massive street battles containing thousands of practising steel pan musicans playing all thru the night. due to its complicated note structure and technical limitations in tuning single areas in the steel pan, this instrument requires many years of practising. the sound of a one hundred man strong steel pan orchestra is something everyone should see and experience once in their lifetime.

toneman is back with labelhead sven dedek himself. no introduction needed, his productions enriched playlists of all big names, from sven väth to chris liebing and back, his projects basic implant and electric envoy together with alex bau delivered numerous great vinyls. now sven is back, new sound, even improved technical production, slowed down, energy, techno

call me mr cold blooded takes things to a shockingly new level. king cannibal (a new moniker for seasoned producer zilla), uses the essence of drum & bass by the likes of limewax, spl, technical itch and re-works the sound into a breakstep epic. the 2nd track one hundred eyes closed is loosely dubstep but goes somewhere darker and more twisted...

zimmermann alias jens zimmermann aka tyrell corp. aka dj gargamel is constantly changing yet always the same: a damn good producer. from his early days when he whipped up tracks by culture beats and out of the ordinary into dancey frenzy with well-known german producer torsten fenslau, to his drum n bass-fuelled moments of technical innovation, jens has never been one to stand still. constantly reinventing hilmself, he always managed to keep things ticking, making him one of the most sought-after producers in the late eighties and throughout the nineties. now, in 2007, after years of noise research and sound sculpting, he is re-emerging as zimmermann which stands for >new german minimal sound<. after three much-celebrated releases, aptly called zimmermann #1, #2 and #3 on room recordings, which were severely hyped up by germany s house fraternity, and releases and remixes on boxersport, k2,and hifreaks as well as on harthouse mannheim, the future is looking bright for jens

phat 3 track ep with minimal / acid and knarz techno (abc = johannes heil - paranoid dancer style)

technical and glitchy techno three tracker from the youngest of 3 musical brothers, matt cavendar aka the missing link

one of germanys best producers, siriusmo puts it down as he only knows how---rough and tough beats that have the technical and melodical aspect of a true genius in dance music. this new wax is a must to add to your grand petrol collection..

excellent deeper funky tech experience

fragmented:
broken up, cracked open/apart, shattered, splintered, fractured
1 reduced to fragments
2 existing and/or functioning as though broken into separate parts
3 forcibly separated into many pieces

highly technical but still organic, combining advanced synthesis & sample wizardry *fragmented* clearly shows how contrasts can accentuate.
