after some time spent entertaining from distant lands, the circus company brings it all back home with a release purposefully written to pay tribute to the breeding ground for their unique strain of house music, paris. seuil stands proud as one of her most cherished creations, a man ever evolving as an artist from the structure and function of minimalist dancefloor music through to the esoteric expression and ambience of jazz, channelling that same swinging spirit that has characterised much of the work on circus company. the release of his -chamaeleonidae- album proved to the world that there was a strange musical spirit in seuil that manifested itself in live drums and languid keys, character traits you could associate with his fellow parisians dop. the collaborations between them have been many in recent years, and once again they come together to both complement and test each others styles in a surprising vision of what pop music could sound like if crafted with soul and imagination. the beats stay tight and steady throughout the three tracks that make up -fluctuat nec mergitur-, driving a foggy brew of strings, synths and drones into a commanding groove. meanwhile the composition gently rises and falls on waves of melody, as particular harmonies swell in to carry you away to a very blue kind of euphoria. such drama and passion captures the essence of both seuil and his beloved city in one heady brew of dancefloor excellence.

jonny whites, white hot no.19 music imprint closes out the year with a one sided slab of vinyl featuring one of the its biggest tunes to date, >under the sheets< by maceo plex... no.19 music continues its meteoric rise with a record that has been building momentum for most of 2010. whilst the imprint has been drawing fans by the thousands with killer singles from tannerross, modern amusement and no regular play plus the awesome soul clap compilation and samplers, there have been a number of secret tracks receiving the art department road test in preparation for their release. at the top of that pile is >under the sheets< by cuban american dj/producer maceo plex!

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

after two re-releases of conrad schnitzler classics, (zug & ballet statique) now m=minimal releases a completely new work from the pioneer of electronic music. conrad schnitzler is a sound explorer. for many years, he has been on expeditions, journeys through his collection of electronic synthesizers almost every day. sounds he liked has been conserved on tape and stored in his sound library. the result is a huge library of audio files, he calls them >solen<. >borngräber & struever< have got the chance to examine that library and started to con-struct new pieces out of the hidden gems. these are not remixes but new compositions. none of the sound combinations were thought or heard before. the 8 tracks form an album independent of any trend and therefore it becomes a real acoustic environment for everyone. the album was produced at studio.wannsee. to give the album more authenticity, the complete audio processing was done using analog equipment. they not only used many classics among the finest synthesizers and outboard equipment, but also custom built tube gear. the icing on the cake are the tubes used from the 60s, which bought christian borngräber on a trip through the atacama desert in a small radio repair business in the city of calama. thanks to the desert climate even the packaging of the tubes looked as new

grammy nominated hannover producer martin buttrich gets down to business with this sharply delineated four track ep, his first release since his >crash test< lp on desolat. buttrich is known for his deft hand with spacious, warm tracks that crackle and snap. his propulsive techno and house music re filled with compressed living sounds. on tracks like >fireball< and >magic market<, crisp percussion shimmers around snug-fitting basslines, with snares and toms moving the speaker cones insistently. >fireball< will quietly smash the dancefloor, with rhythms so taut you could bounce nickels off them. the heavy kick of >rocket< anchors it to agitated drums slowly enveloped by a melodic soup, inflected with disrupted noises as it sweeps over the listener. >20 ways< has a reflective and fresh feel, like city lights seen through rain, with a peppy beat that swaggers along. then theres that bass again, bringing disarming warmth, and always with the underlying influences of reggae, hip hop and soul... music lovers who purchase the vinyl release will be treated to a free download voucher for all the digital versions, as well as additional bonus tracks. the 4 bonus tracks wont be available to digital-only customers at this time

big with: sebo k, ryan crosson, dario zenker, lee burridge, shlomi aber, seth troxler, lee curtiss, brothers vibe, reboot, karotte, dubfire, mathias kaden, ellen allien, ame, joris voorn, .. italian born alex picone has been an integral member of the bass culture family since the label launch. his thai ep, our second release, found critical acclaim from both djs and dance press. backed by its chris carrier remix, the ep gathered strong support from the likes of loco dice, luciano, tiefschwarz, dj hell, ame and more. alex was soon following his ep, with a remix for arnaud le texier on ivory machine ep from bcr005. again receiving huge praise and support from his peers. when hes not at the helm of the bass culture express, alex can be found releasing work on such highly acclaimed labels as cadenza, bosconi and tenax. whilst his output may not be as prolific as some, each and every release stands the test of time. this may be down to alexs unique and unnerving ability to cross genres, however we feel its simply down to the unrivalled quality of his productions. a quality that is once again in evidence on his, en pensant ep. four wonderfully varied original cuts and a summery phil weeks remix that range from the smooth as silk, vocal-lead title track, to the deep and elegantly twisted coco verde.

two adventurous artists in their own right, platter001 sees the first meeting of minds for appleblim and october, with two wildly different results. >ny fizzzzz< is a peak-time belter in the truest sense of the word, launching to life with a rigid 4/4 drum machine stomp. appleblims dub tendencies pepper octobers knack for the jack with spacious delays and reverbs before a muted piano hook gets filtered into the mix. melting away to let the chords shine through, the drop encapsulates the pinnacle of any late night jam, bright, bold and brassy, and irresistibly catchy. >fountains of paradise< trickles in on a bed of rippling fx, guided by haunting, melodic synth flourishes that only vintage gear can conjure up. the rhythm section ticks away faithfully as the distinctly psychedelic tones and drones shape the definitive 21st century dub track. blissful in its execution, >fountains…< will stand the test of time as a magically unique slice of delectable ambience.
