a collection of highly addictive floor tunes and the latest chapter in terranovas ongoing house saga

carving out his own unique sound for the past twenty years, terrence is one of technos true masters born from detroit. his name has become synonymous with the more outer reaches of the stripped down sound that he has made very much his own - imitators beware!
initial pressing on limited red vinyl.

exploitation is the new film by dutch independent filmmaker edwin brienen. enfant terrible produced the soundtrack for this gothic-noir satiric fresco. 90 minutes of music to be enjoyed both as true soundtrack as well as a sequel to previous enfant terrible compilations... but more dramatic and ritualistic in the way the record is building up. it will please fans of minimal electronics and (post) industrial music but also moves into different styles such as idm, tekno, angst pop and chanson, while always keeping a dark and cold mood and/or dream state feeling throughout... limited edition of 250 copies!

native-detroiter terrence dixons longtime alliance with godfather of techno juan atkins has helped forge his own powerful sound in the world of minimal techno.

jason bye (space/mambo, ibiza) returns with a couple of new deep, jackin terrys in the shape of alligator originals and get wild. already riding high at #3 in the dmc buzz chart!

a yawning desert covers and oppresses a distant daemon-sphere pregnant with the stuff of a thousand earths. clouds of the same hue and attitude as the infinite sands gradually dominate the sky, possessed of a malign intelligence. a trans-generational caravan cuts an unforgiving line through the dunes in a fruitless mission to close its great mad circle, forever missing by just miles. it is a roving, innumerable harem in liege to an unsexed tyrant who sings them this song, reproduced here by resonant hole emissaries jeanne vomit-terror and ed sunspot, as the caravan commits the abominable act of transgressing the horizon into the infant sky-desert “above.” carl calm’s “gulf of night” mix is a monster, as is the great mike simonetti’s perverse interpretation!

limited edition of 300 copies on white vinyl.

flying bodies are beta evers and charles kent. they produced only three tracks together of which only one was released on vinyl before. here are the other two tracks. one is a dancefloor smasher and the other one perfect for night drives on the highway... dark, minimal elektro to energize and sooth you. limited to 150 copies.

a coherent but diverse 12ich with six tracks in the typical sololust style. dark and moody but also spacious and full of emotion. an eclectic electronic music mix with influences ranging from ebm to electro to old school house and ambient. perfect for early morning dancefloors and private afterparties. limited to 150 copies!

this record is a soundtrack for excentric nightlife. bringing back to life images of wild parties at artists workspaces in paris in the 1920s, early mornings in belgian nightclubs in the late 1980s and driving classic italian sports cars during long hot summer nights. but this is not just a dream, we are here to live this life! enfant terrible serves you contemporary music to spice up your nighttime activities... limited edition of 350 copies.

doldrums ist das psych-pop-projekt des 22 jaehrigen airick woodhead aus toronto. ein sound der zwischen zerhackten samples, geisterhaften vocals und percussions zu schweben scheint, alles zusammengehalten durch airicks stimme, der wohl androgynsten im alternative-electro universum.
pressung auf schwarzem vinyl, inklusive mp3-downloadcode.

we have made no secret of our love for terrence dixon here at thema. after his thema debut with >the parkhurst<, a record that helped to reignite his career, we have seen the legendary figure move on to even bigger things, and we helped the cause even more just recently with his >the return< ep as population one on our chronicle sublabel. his resurgence has reminded us what always drew us and many others to his work from the beginning, and it is thus with immense pride that we announce minimalism re:vision, featuring remixes of terrence dixons groundbreaking minimalism part 1 from 1995.

did you ever wonder what happens when a living legend remixes an absolute eskimo classic? the answer lies in dj harveys >beach to the bar< remix of mediterraneo by dr. beat from san sebastian. the lively track overlays a steady stomp of a beat with clattering drums, a walking bassline, and a bit of guitar shredding to create a full-force groove. as featured on the remixed disc of eskimonde - a decade of eskimo recordings, but now also available on a heavyweight 12 inch with a special laser etch.

dracula lewis unterschreibt bei souterrain transmissions! aber wer zur hölle ist dracula lewis? der aus transsilvanien stammende produzent bleibt vor allem in der blogwelt ein mysterium, und das obwohl eben diese blogs seine tracks fleißig posten. angeblich lebte er bis vor kurzem noch in einem besetzten haus in mailand, wo er an diversen kunst-installationen getüftelt und einen illegalen club betreibt (oder betrieb). dracula lewis hat ein eigenes label, hundebiss records, heimat für bands der stunde wie hair police, sewn leather und jaws. mit den hundebiss-signings jaws und sewn leather tourte er bereits durch die usa und europa. nun kommen wir mal zur musik. dracula lewis beschreibt diese wie folgt: >expansive, pseudo-horror-flick music that oscillates between ethereal ambience and grinding, zombie-attack noise freakouts<. da ist immer diese seltsame, dunkle magie, die über seinen tracks schwebt. mit >permafrost< erscheint nun zunächst eine auf 500 stück limitierte 12 inch, ein studioalbum ist für märz 2013 geplant.

sunwalkers is the b-side project of rks, thats what happens when the power of the beats meets the light of the synths. a raw mix of miscellaneous pad and analogue drums that start with a tribute, a detroit reminding track, 303 acid bass and a blaze of sweet melodies, like the old school way says. the ride goes on with 2, an easy dancing jam, the piano chords run into an unceasing clap for a massive dirty floor killer. on the b-side terrence parker puts his groovy piano style on a brilliant remix of the light, seven minutes of pure detroit parkers energy with a dreamy heartbreaker bridge.

we go straight to detroit as we welcome terrence dixon to the knotweed family! terrence has been busy for almost 20 years producing the best deep minimal atmospheric techno, and this is the next chapter of his extensive discography.

Über die letzten jahre gelang es den the fresh & onlys sich in die herzen einer immer grösser werdenden schar von fans zu spielen. die fresh & onlys sind so eine richtige lieblingsband. es gibt eigentlich niemanden, der dem charme des sängers tim cohen und seiner mannen nicht verfällt. früher oder später kriegen sie sie alle. das who is who der amerikanischen underground labels (woodsist, in the red und captured track) rissen sich darum ihre platten zu veröffentlichen, auf dem all tomorrows parties festival sind sie sowas wie ein stammgast, und bands wie black lips und deerhunter haben ihre lieblingsband mit auf tour genommen. diesen herbst folgt ihr inzwischen viertes album, das endlich auch in europa erscheint, auf souterrain transmissions, der heimat von crocodiles, moon duo, zola jesus und coco rosie. >long slow dance< (oder auch l.s.d.) heisst das album. abermals geht es sehr romantisch zu und hittig, man fühlt sich an go-betweens erinnert und frühe (gute!) r.e.m., aber alles glücklicherweise nicht glatt sondern schrullig. es fällt da nicht leicht ein anderes label ausser pop im besten sinne zu verwenden!

formed in san francisco in 2009 by wooden shijps guitarist ripley johnson and sanae yamada, moon duos first two critically acclaimed eps, killing time (2009) and escape (2010), fused the futuristic pylon hum and transistor reverb of suicide or silver apples with the heat-haze fuzz of american rock n roll to create tracks of blistering, 12-cylinder space rock.

twelve years ago tresor records released terrence dixons debut album >from the far future< - a personal homage to the art and ancestry of techno, culminating in a discursive and dream-like course through the genres many tomes, complete with subtle nods to key protagonists such as kraftwerk, derrick may and juan atkins. a luminescent and ethereal catalogue of tracks awash with shimmery synths and taught rhythmical programming - that still holds true today, >from the far future< made for a stunning first full length that cemented dixons already proven credentials from his population one work and utensil records foundations. after a string of stylistically rich releases - including another album, >train of thought<, this time for cologne-based label yore records - the detroit native returns to tresor records with >from the far future pt.2< - an ambitious, scopey and deeply personal sequel.

wer mit freddy fischer und seiner cosmic rocktime band noch nicht so recht vertraut sein sollte, braucht vielleicht doch erst ein paar stichworte. orientierungshilfen. da hört man also einen jazzrock, den es aber geradewegs auf den tanzboden zieht. und disco. auch diese lässige eleganz der lieder, die manfred krug mal gesungen hat in den siebzigern und damit selbst die ddr etwas swing schenkte, wenigstens für einen moment. und jetzt vielleicht noch eine weitere glitzerkugel voll disco dazu. das steckt man dann alles in einen schicken smoking, und schon steht da ein freddy fischer da.

this isnt your average piece of vinyl as well as >five killer tracks of skewed house / hynogogia<, it features etched illustrations around the edge and in the centre. oh, and listeners have to play it from the inside out – i.e. the stylus needs to be placed in the middle of the record…

das nächtliche gemunkel am tresen bei bier und klaren war irritierend gewesen: aufs neue album, so drummer zimmermann und basser strohmeier, würde das lo fat orchestra auch kinderchöre und ein streichquartett packen. man dachte mit grauen an the wall, konzeptalben-bombast, artrockkacke und hoffte halb, das sei nur der berüchtigte schwarzwälder humor. jetzt ist the second word is love da. nicht mit kinder- aber mit chören und natürlich mit streichquartett. die befürchtungen zerbröseln im nu, wenn im opener be honest die bassdrum nagelt, die elektrizität in der luft rauscht und singt, bevor der sägezahnbass und schmids gesang und orgel einsetzen. alles gut! alles besser! alles: mehr!

gui borattos dark 2011 masterpiece >iii< was brimming with deft highlights, but not every one of them was aiming at the floor. showing his expertise in more than one style, the brazilian producer wove an intriguing web of beats and sounds that even surprised his most dedicated fans. >destination: education<, a slightly saturnine rhythm study featuring the return of guis wife luciana on vocals (who also sang on the classic >beautiful life< from debut album >chromophobia<), now gets pushed into the spotlight by dancefloor gurus terranova and tale of us, both tweaking the track to its optimal danceability. a must have for boratto zealots and crowd-sensitive djs alike, this 12 inch presents two heavy-duty bangers tailored to every partys needs.
