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.

vinyl only release !! no digitally download !! played by 2000 and one, efdemin, jamie jones, loco dice, laurent garnier.-... following bruno pronsatos latest fantastic album >why cant we be like us<, we are more than happy to get with >nobody calls< another timeless pearl on hello?repeat. on the title track bruno worked this time with his very good friend caro (aka randy jones), and together they delivered a truely magical vocal track. on the flip side youll find a fairly dirty track called >where’d you learn to kiss that way<. again bruno manages to create a record with his very unique atmosphere. deep. reduced. glorious. pronsato

another serious result from our warehouse rummaging! si begg is a man of many musical personalities, his list of aliases is impressive to say the least (bigfoot, buckfunk3000, lenny logan, s.i. futures, zygmunt janowski...). but one of his oldest, and certainly one of his strangest, is cabbage boy. in fact i confess i am old enough to remember his releases in the early 90s on cassette tape under the umbrella of the >cabbage head collective< (which also included such techno notables as cristian vogel & tim wright) - and pretty mental they were too. the lost tapes vol. 1 doesnt disappoint on that front, containing such gems as a remix of 80s pop mysteries frank chickens>we are ninja<, and an electronic cover version of >king kong< by frank zappa (ask your parents...). totally out there, but totally cool at the same time...highly recommended to anyone looking for something with some real personality amidst the hard-drives full of faceless (and usually nameless) digital fluff

the into the night ep is a wonderful deep, slow & moving record that should be one of the highlights in this years autumn sessions. into the night kicks off with some wild pitch – alike chords and builds up soulful, moody but strong. tectonic move is so damn groovy and might be one the funkiest trax ever coming out of the metaworld universe of matt flores. also the tempo of almost 120 bpm is sexy as hell... all percussions & the bass are played live by matt flores. “tectonic move” also features some extatic detroitish synths that makes you scream. a definitive winner! the tectonic move flores & saenger dub has been rearranged a bit by matt flores and farsides ingo saenger (one half of westpark unit). they stripped the tune, put more focus on the groove and re dubbed all harmonies & synths. the result is a funky smokers riddim for all you dubby tool headz out there.

lowkey and kardinal have become a rising figure of french techno music thanks to a handful of impressive maxi. their rave inspired style, offering a wide range mixture of electro, techno and breakbeat sounds, has been working club goers up into a frenzy! and now they are back with their new single, future dancefloor killer, ghost rider

there is certainly not enough space to tell you all the great things about move d we would love to share with you. being the musical mind behind the legendary source records imprint, david moufang has always been a versatile and prolific character. from ambient soundscapes to krautrocky epics, jazz sensibilities or straight up techno and house, he has done it all with his own special and unique touch. this lovely fingerprint is spread all over the “cube ep . intended as a tribute to heidelberg’s finest club night of the same name (don’t mix it up with that other square project!) , move d shots two arrows straight into your heart. “cube” is one of those stripped down hypnotic affairs that seem to go on forever and ever just to surprise you with a nice breakdown, before it’s groove sucks you in again. we guess this is what people mean, if they talk about the beauty of simplicity. “heidelberg gals” flips the script in three parts with an old school approach and turns into a monolithic house monster with a bassline to boot. panache! bust a move d!

joe claussell & brian bacchus, together soulfeast, are embracing & reformulating the exceptional talents of one somi, singer & songwriter extraordinaire, who has respectfully revisited afrobeat great fela kutis classic >african lady<. they are bringing somis exceptionally spine-tingling vocal delivery & siren-like range to the forefront of the production, confident in her total power to seduce & captivate the very song itself in carefully leading it to its triumphant crescendo of joyful release

following up from his widely acclaimed ep for workshop and his first solo-ep on mikrodisko, two new tracks emerge from the abyss that is kassem mosses studio, striking fear and awe in the hearts of mastering engineers. aqueous haze, his new ep for mikrodisko, starts with >no peace no love no unity<, an 808 driven stomp through landscapes of derelict synths buried in vintage and broken device chains. the track finishes off with a brief reminder of the past. the sixties? the seventies? they never sounded anything like this. >578< on the flip is out on a roll, straight ahead, not turning back, pushing towards a better tomorrow. the utopia that time forgot. we call it techno

this is the second launch for dolibox on karat records after his great debut ep >shoes off<.hes coming now with a more functional thing to delight your ears. it starts with >andy veston<, a massive floorfiller with funny and evolutive vocal elements.then >herbie april< and >long approach<, two tracks in a >classic< doliboxs vein,we mean soulfull abstract dance music, deep and funky.>politik cowboy< is also a fine track, with deep synth melodic elements and sweet voices carried by a solid and large beat.these four tracks can be played on the floor but they also fit for a home listening,dolibox proves that hes a real good and inspired producer. he gonna release an album during the next year.

class71 return to the constantly in-form four:twenty following the diamond door/seaphone 12 debut which won fans of just about every decent house dj around, and what a follow up it is! alba adriatica is a 13 minute excursion in to detroit flavoured house and is as subtle as it is memorable. a rounded bassline provides the movement while delicate, dubby fx create a hypnotic vibe which underpins a blissful live saxophone and rising keys. the summer is not over yet. always being attentive to djs needs, four:twenty have also included a dub for the saxo-phobes and if that wasnt enough, they bring in the legendary move d for further mixes. with a back catalogue which includes celebrated labels such as modern love, uzuri, city centre offices and liebe*detail, move d is the toast of underground house music and has delivered a vocal and dub mix of impeccable standards. utilising the fm bass and bringing the chords up in the mix, mr. d (as nobody calls him) creates a densely layed percussive dub mix which provides a perfect kickless track for creative djing while his vox mix adds both kick and some sparse but beautiful vocal touches. this is another winner from a label which continually searches out fresh talent and is more than worthy of your attention

peyto jumps on takuma records with his new single available in four different mixes! each one of them can fit the needs of the most demanding djs who are very careful to the sound they play to the dancefloor...hot for the club!!!

rompecabeza is excited to announce the debut release from bradler & dualton, the highly talented newcomers out of cologne! on their new release they deliver 3 functional, outstanding tracks, heavily and beautifully arranged- all with the necessary portions of funk, house and of course, that unmistakable rompecabeza sound...

panthers used to play aggressive post hardcore before their style morphed into a somewhat sober version of anthemic stoner rock. they released albums on both troubleman and vice records. goblin city is the lead track from their second record, the trick. holy ghost! requested to work on goblin city. they then delivered one of the most relentlessly snappy disco dubs in quite some time. panthers also asked run roc to do a mix of the song and he came up with an excellent old school acid house version. this single is a true dfa family affair, bringing together good friends, musicians, and creative allies from the past and for the future. family reunions are not supposed to be this much fun.

conya returns with a biggie from our swedish friends mr chi & victor sanchez aka groovenauts feat jay tripwire on vocals. they deliver three raw and deep tunes that will be sure winners on the floor.

zero cash is back, served in slices! dont say what you think comes at you with two different versions, both hot out the over. the main mix is straight ahead, bangin and dark for the peak hours and tends to make you very nervous. the alternate mix takes you down the dial to minimal/sci fi soundtrack land slathered over an intentionally thicker crust. both mixes are hot and heavy and not for the feint of heart. then in classic zero cash style he lightens stuff up for the b side with more than enough taking you on an electro journey remniscent of 80s cop shows and shoot em up video games. served in slices, get em while they re hot!!!

under the radar ep big with: carl cox, funk dvoid, jamie jones, luca bachetti, slam, nick curly, paolo mojo, kiki, dario zenker, trickski, geddes, chris carrier, jeff samuel, davide squillace, lee burridge, luke solomon, thomas schumacher, solomun, chloe, shinedoe, nic fianculli amelie is the newly born production outfit sophie oliver & claudia lovisa, already a highly acclaimed duo on the dj circuit. their names have been on everyones lips this year for the dynamic and stylish way in which they bring adancefloor to its knees. on this their first ep they team up with supernature founders audiofly for a two tracker that will certainly raise many heads in the techno and house scene. ‘move employs clever drum patterns with an insistent looped female vocal working the track into a groove that never lets the listener go. ‘generous for one has a similar smoothness in its production but in a more driving manner. the surprise in it comes in the way of some jazzy keys half way into the track that will uplift the crowd to another level. hot romanian starlets livio & roby get to work on ‘move with a very current interpretation. this amelie v audiofly ep is proof that claudia and sophie have the talent and charm to put them ahead of the game in very little time indeed.

mysterious and most of all vinyl only whitelabels seem to be the call of the day. if they are as good as this one here i have no doubt - this trend will stay our fried. open produced bassy and sweat boxing, slamming chicago - detroit- chicago style house with great piano chord and slight pitched atmosphere. somehow between early chez n ron and roy davis , dj pierre, kerri, mood2 swing, nu groove, kot. now ive almost named them all. oops… . sinister but oh so sexy!

what a back to back funk winner... we had quite a dilemma on these two... we love the original tracks so much, that it was dificult to chose wether to re edit them or just release them as they were... we couldnt figure out, so we decided to reach a middle ground. a side is totaly redone, with extra programed breaks and clavinet hooks for maximum pleasure, as b side gets the release totaly as the original 12inch intrumental version (yes the one on the original indie release, not the one from the later major repress)... well... totally... not quite, the rythm has been straighten and quantize, so now you can mix it...

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart
