stuck in the 9-5 grind, stifled by the impersonality of constant social media and mobile interaction, contemporary urban life can be suffocating. for a certain breed, release cannot be found in the vast, unpopulated great outdoors. urban animals congregate in heaving warehouses, seeking solace in the liberating beats of the kick drum. they are bound not by association, but through a shared experience of primal relief felt in those shadowy, dance floor corners swelling with the sounds of low end frequencies and brazenly sculpted grooves. this is the urban animals jungle.

teamed up with running back for a vinyl release, bubbletease communications releases are defiantly infrequent, reflecting boss man maurice fultons desire to only release personal projects and those hes somehow had a hand in. given fultons track record, this approach guarantees a high quality threshold in truth, bubbletease releases are rarely less than excellent. this four-tracker from tokyo-based dj nori, co-produced by fulton, is predictably impressive.

r-zone is a new label launched by global darkness. who is involved isn t exactly a secret, those who feel so inclined can piece the information together quite easily. it is however irrelevant to the concept of r-zone, which would like to shift the focus away from namedropping and perception based on hype around individual artists and bring it back where it belongs, in the lap of the music.

someone sound the funk alarm … bumper, the netherlands-based duo of geoffrey t and mr pauli, live and breathe sizzling, floor-busting electro-funk with one ear cocked to the classic sound and the other raised towards some sci-fi future. “get into position” proclaims the goal here: get all those people on the dance floor, ready to move! jimmy edgar kicks things off with a deep techno remix full of swirling synths and an infectious bassline, then londons tad wily does a funky 4 on the floor remix. the flip features 3 original funk grooves of varying tempo. *get into position* stakes its claim on frenzied body motion. *s.o.s.* provides a deeper excursion into the boogie zone. *ten four* then pops along at an erotic city-esque pace. sweet!

on uncanny valley s catalogue number 18 we finally welcome back credit 00 who is a man in charge of a decent collection of those dusty machines we all love. after the ice cold the living room life ep from 2012, his brand new record ice cream is easy to fall in love with. packed with tunes to suit various moods in life, it will be a faithful companion in dark basements or lonesome hours. ice cream starts deliciously with its sleazy sample choice. with the distinctive drum work it builds up to a true chicago-inspired dance floor banger. round n round hits hard with a harsh kick and cowbell action before it shows off slightly melancholic lead synths and a subtle but effective bass line and puts the emphasis on the fact that things go round and round. life s a dizzy affair. east of nowhere with that bass line-sound is credit 00 to the core. and with spooky synths he puts you to an east of nowhere-place where you will lose yourself in manic trance-like dancing. the record ends with red wine , a slightly different electronic love song sung by credit 00. the cover artwork was created by alexander dorn.

cult melbourne band primitive calculators cut a single in 1979 before splitting in the true punk fashion. a posthumous eponymous live album was released in 1981 (also reissued this spring on desire) and that was it. those two tracks are as fresh now as they were more than 30 years ago: in a style not dissimilar to the screamers or cabaret voltaire (circa nag nag nag), primitive calculators used raw monophonic synth lines with scratchy guitars and screaming vocals but the songs were standing on their own (as the unplugged version of do that dance that appears on the primitive calculators and friends 1979-82 could testify. the original 7 inch is now incredibly rare and hard to find and this reissue is its exact replica. first pressing limited to 500 copies.

decoy07 takes a deeper turn with the third act ep. miss sunshine (kms, monocline, tictactoe) has been working flawlessly in the studio for the past six years and this ep is no exception. third act is a heavy workout of riding bells and an old-school synth line which grooves its way through percussion builds and changes. intimidate is deeper and darker with a chugging groove and twisting effects growing into a more graceful melody. ground loop captures miss sunshines more ambivalent mood with a haunting groove that is perfect for those basement techno moments. markus suckut (figure, sckt)supplies the remix with his interpretation of ground loop, taking it more minimal and stripped back but maintaining the groove in his own familiar style.

introducing the house of 12 vol.2, also including some new artists on this one. a1 is with martin bell, uk, the man behind all those videos on youtube about >how to make house music with soul<. a jazzy house raw tune, proper sound for a proper dancefloor. a2 is a mysterious band from croatia, rare people house brand, all stuffed with vintage gears as well, presenting a house/disco song with a fucking good syncopatic crescendo and some hypnotic vocal. b1 is an italian guy, jacy, and his talented attitude to resume a disappeared vibe from old italian house from the early 90s, mixed with a new touch, so its not revival, its a new life about that genre!! b2 is the worst of the band, as usual, deep88, here with a raw-all-played-track that hasnt seen any sequencer, just a multitrack tape overdubbing and mpc.

the exaltics debuts on abstract acid with a very special and personal lp titled >das heise experiment<, the project originates from the exaltics desire to take things a notch deeper, while pushing the acid a step into more menacing and quite devilish territory. for those that appreciate such dastardly dark styles, well, you will not be disappointed with this album. coarse acid coupled with sublime soundscapes and ubiquitously haunting melodies make for the perfect combination. limited edition vinyl pressing

after a bit of a hiatus, roots unit return with some deep house hybrids from their bulging vaults. learn to love is a melodic dub-house / techno infused big sound system warmer that comes from a studio session with former 2 lone swordsman keith tenniswood and will be familiar to those who tune into tim sweeneys beats in space show on the regular. morning sequence is a lovely early morning hypnotic slinky electronic house jam that gets under your skin and into your mind. this latter track is mutated into a heavy floor filler by mark e in full on peak time mode.

the last 12 inch in the invisible sunrise remix series and to say they have saved the best until last would be unfair on all the other amazing remixes but this really is a doozy. quiet village do what they do best - an exceedingly epic 13 minute tropical jungle chugger that transcends time and space to take you on a trip you are never going to forget. without a doubt one of the best things we have heard from qv in quite some time. on the flip the advisory circle provide what is perhaps the most beautiful remix - melodic, inventive and deeply lush. an anthemic come down for those moments when you need a big audio hug. simply gorgeous. lastly seahawks leave us with an unreleased mix of crystal beach which sounds like george benson tripping his nuts off on a beach in hawaii at 5am….languid jazz guitar, slo mo beats, the sound of the waves and some deep electronics ... what more could you want? seahawks at their finest and one more reason this is an essential purchase. swim on forever.

as an interlude between harakets forthcoming ep and their last, weve pulled in some favours for an exclusive little remix package featuring moody dancefloor renditions of attgo & taint. this is one for those twilight basement parties

jose cabrera and fred p split the first installment of the perception series. the determinism ep sees jc and fp giving their slant on principles of quantum level events through sound. raw and driving, this ep is a more than an adequate dj tool, it is a formula for the transportation of the subconscious. determinism is a metaphysical philosophical position stating that for everything that happens there are conditions such that, given those conditions, nothing else could happen. “there are many determinisms, depending upon what pre-conditions are considered to be determinative of an event.” deterministic theories throughout the history of philosophy have sprung from diverse motives and considerations, some of which overlap. some forms of determinism can be tested empirically with ideas stemming from physics and the philosophy of physics. the opposite of determinism is some kind of indeterminism (otherwise called nondeterminism).

limited vinyl reissue of this obscure and incredibly rare production by the legendary disco pairing of rinder and lewis. released in 1977, the discognosis project is definitely one of the powerhouse duos more experimental offerings - a wildly eclectic yet inspirational mix of styles. of course the biggie here is cosmic floor-filler step by step, a chugging synth monster layered with chunky beats, grooving piano, great vocals and of course those searing synths. but the album is packed with other highlights including the super-funky horror-tinged title track discognosis, slick jazzy delight one on one with its superb brass and dark flamenco overtones, weird slo-mo space-groover movette, the sweet summery 60s pop-soul of love belongs to everyone and disco-funk stompers love shortage and good time man. dont miss this superb disco gem.

the ambassador of the bat, yes it is true, and the ambassador of german melodic techno music dominik eulberg is releasing, 8 months after *ein stuckchen urstoff*, a new ep on traum. fans of his music can anticipate another masterpiece of melodic music, which is based on him fiddling with sounds, acoustics… keeping up of what we refer to as the eulbergsche language. this time it seems to be even more exhilarated and driven by passion. does this make sense when you speak about someone who is considered to have great compositional skill? yes we think the liveliness shows up in greater chunks, and the crispiness of the ideas rise to a point which is exceptional and... for those who seek techno realism… it can be found here as well.

the summer might be almost over, but groovetraxxs is just getting started with an impressive vinyl debut. label boss le babar teams up with fellow belgian pat lezizmo for a delightful piece of underground house music that sets the groove and gets you going on the dance floor. deep basslines, fresh drums and a simple melody are some of the ingredients to *another love*, but it is that oh so special vocal hook that really sets the mood. on the flip, two remixes complete the already-impressive 12 inch. golf clap give the track a more laidback-vibe with their trademark classy smoothness, while scott diaz turns it into a never ending pumping beast, perfect for those peak time moments. this is a release you cant afford to miss!

brooklyns boroughs are contaminated by creators, so the only surprise hearing alex burkats first 100% silk masters was how subtly exquisite he had nailed them down. patient, swelling loops of new age club mist give way to classic chicago figure-8 bass patterns, and dubby, sampled drum fills punctuate before billowing back out into breathy warehouse atmospherics.
his recent ep for mister saturday night explored more upbeat-oriented dynamics but tarot unwinds with a dreamier deja vu—waves of arpeggiated echoes, strobing stereo shimmer, and low acid warble arcing over a limitless subterranean dance floor. this is hypnotic humanist mantric mystery music for the 21st century, for those invested in what the deck has to hold.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everything that sounds fine to their ears! for this 34th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 6 fantastic trax done by nick beringer. straight from germany, this talented producer delivered some of the best deep house music around. entitled *the second floor ep* (after the 1st floor ep out on wax classic 4), it starts with *afterhour cut 1* which is one of those eminently soulful house tracks with a sparse approach to production, all the elements sounding so crisp and distinct in the mix but judged perfectly.

ambivalent & michael l penman debut on ovum with *shimmer*. having found a very fruitful collaborative friendship, michael l penman and ambivalent (aka kevin mchugh) have begun exploring the intersection of their approaches to music-making. they originally connected when kevin discovered michaels music in 2010. after playing many of his productions in his dj sets and including them in a mix-cd (_ground) release for minus, kevin made contact and the pair began exchanging files and swapping ideas. this led to time in the studio together and yet more file exchanges. quickly a natural creative balance emerged as they found that their production techniques were complementary as is their shared love of groove, bass and musicality. for their ovum debut the duo have delivered a trio of tracks that have those three elements at their core. title track shimmer brings together raw jackin funk with a warm driving bassline and scything techy stabs whilst chevalier matches its fun bouncy groove with an infectious and spritely melody. final track memogram comes heavy with the oldskool, delivering a bed of beats and samples beneath the very heaviest of acid-kicks. not for the feint of heart!

20 years ago the track unfuture, released on sven väths imprint eye q, marked a milestone in technoproductions with its uncompromising style and sound, delivering a view on techno which was revolutionary at that time: stripped down to only a couple of sounds in general, the track had an impact on dancefloors as not often seen before in those trance-dominated times - and still has!

for those who know the story of the bridge wars, there is some irony found in the fact that scott la rock, representing the south bronx, was born in queens, though he did relocate to the south bronx at a very young age. after graduating high school la rock spent four years in vermont at castleton college where he earned varsity letters in basketball, but more importantly for the world of hip hop he became more and more enamored with music. on graduation he returned to new york and began working as a dj and as a social worker at the franklin armory mens shelter in the bronx. it was at the shelter that scott met kris parker and the duo formed boogie down productions. the rest, as they say, is history. roughly a year after the tragic shooting death of boogie down productions founder, dj and producer scott la rock b boy records and krs-one issued this special remix album, a man and his music (remixes from around the world). billed as a limited edition collectors classic the project was released in a limited run – briefly available in the 90s – and now after years of being unavailable reappears as a tribute to one of the genres early pioneers.
