fantastic voyage continues to bring the sugar series to vinyl, with 32 standout tracks selected by stuart colman from the 75-track 3cd set classy sugar.
classy sugar is the successor to the thoroughly-recommended fantastic voyage compilations, heavy sugar (fvdv051), savvy sugar (fvdv059) and sassy sugar (fvdv098). whereas those releases were devoted to new orleans, the west coast and nashville respectively, classy sugar focuses on the big apple, new york city.

the furnace series is a two-part compilation of music inspired by a special room in the montreal apartment shared by booma collective from 2012-2014. when venues to throw parties became scarce, booma used this room leading to the fire escape in the back of the apartment known as the furnace as a space for small gatherings among close friends. the furnace series is a collection of memories of those intimate parties and impromptu jam sessions. part one features four tracks by booma collective founders and friends, beginning with psyche, a hypnotic, dub-techno inspired composition with oscillating, piercing sounds, evoking whistling flurries. solparas garden in the furnace echoes the hollowed-out concrete architecture of the furnace itself, filling up then emptying its atmosphere with layered drum machines and ghostly voices. cf01 is the result of feedback experimentation carefully arranged into a slow tribal jam. oren ratowsky. producer of booma collectives first vinyl release, rounds off the b side with gorby, an eleven and a half minute exploration of his mastery of analog synthesizers.

no fires were lit during the production of these tracks. 21 years bc. i don t need those defibrillators. be kind, go vegan. 300 copies for the universe. love is the answer. nail x.

the second part in the hudd traxx 10th anniversary *now & then* compilation sees tracks from luna city express, sek, iz & diz and rick wade. berlin duo luna city express serve up a lush deep house groove that builds throughout the track, and will bring a smile to the faces of those who follow them on their beloved moon habour recordings. sek uses slick beats, trippy leads, a driving bassline and some *thug life* vocals to ensure this one has future classic written all over it. go back in time (to 2006 to be precise) on the then side to find iz & dizs *happy*. the words epic & journey are often misused in music but both can be mentioned about this track. it had devastating effect on first release and is set to do the same again nearly 10 years later. rick wade closes things out in fine style to fly the detroit flag on an all chicago / detroit side.

jj&j return on 12 inch after knocking us sideways with last years double lp. there is true finesse (as ever) in these tempod productions, with fabulous synth layering throughout and some of those ravey details they lace in so well for the more expanded dancers ... up and out there.

i entered rapidly in the darkness, searching for a secure place, i cheated myself, i walked through paths travelled by those ones who get lost. i’ve dreamt many times the light in the distance always bumping into an illusion, the illusion in my mind. i ask to calm down to the screams in my ears, to cease to the voices in my mind. i look lost around me, nothing is in possession of my senses anymore. i fall, asleep.

machines will fail us: those are the unsettling first words of this much expected new episode of the polar inertia odyssey. starting with this ode to machinery, the tale plunges suddenly in a stark apocalyptic scenario. along the 3:14? of the track kinematic optics, this mysterious polar inertia eventually begins to materialize and reveal more of its true essence. same might be said about this double ep, consisting of almost 75 minutes of music.

the rawest, diy gospel ever resurrected. the west side of chicago was just an annex of the deep rural south for gene autry cash and his flock of recent old dominion transplants looking to cut their fiery, unadorned sounds indelibly to plastic. his jade label absorbed those god-fearing artists: family bands with wailing kids and barely amateur groups sourced from local parishes, infused with reverberations of country and western and deep soul. glinting authenticity shines from every track like a diamond in the unpolished rough—each group completely convinced that salvation comes through song.

this is simply a beautiful song and amazing collaboration between eagles & butterflies (innervisions, get physical) and super talented singer/songwriter j.u.d.g.e. its one of those rare standout tracks you might come to love and treasure for the rest of your life. no more words necessary, hit play and let the music do the talking.

last summer theo parrish toured europe with a badass band he calls the unit, comprised of himself on keys and vocals, lead vocals by ideeyah, amp fiddler on keys and backing vocals, myele manzanza on drums, mr. mensah on bass and keys, duminie deporres on guitar and dancers jade soul, mai le, dominique choreographed by gehrik. on stage they covered sound signature classics, cuts from theo’s latest lp and a selection of theo’s favorite dancefloor tracks, and the label are excited to be putting out a few of the recordings made during the tour. starting with this two track 12 inch, the a side is a cover of skye’s ain’t no need. for those who know, the b side is a rendition of walking thru the sky from theo parrish’s 1996 baby steps ep.

first release for brand new label basement night feeling sound. two tracks from scm recommended for those who loves the dance floor! only 300 hand numbered copies, vinyl only release, save your dont sleep!

joe goddard just had to knock on that door. the wall of his recording studio had been pulsating with original analogue house jams for too long, dry ice practically sifting through the vents. behind that door was gentleman george t, and before long the two heads were nodding to obscure dat edits and 4th hand soul samples as george plundered a wealth of forgotten late 90s dats from of a box in the corner. true story. and now those dat edits, lovingly un-restored, are available for the first time on greco-roman, the record label, party and artist collective of whom hot chip s joe goddard is a founding member.

to release a new piece of music, it would seem, is to enter a competition for approval and appearances: who will play that track and how many will follow. likes. clicks. transient signs of appreciation, or perhaps just vague nods of confirmation. but what about all those values inherent in music that just cant be quantified? if merely one single person would listen to these songs and find herself or himself genuinely moved by them, wouldnt it be worth it? we think so. we really do.

simple things is a love song about the end of love and a new beginning. simple things are those that separate the real, the true, and everything else. simple things is about that love that we all let go of, that we lose, and from which we learn so much about ourselves. because love always happens for the best. god hates us all is a digital extra that takes us to the dance floor as a place for rebirth, where the music heals us and returns life to us and to the celebration that it is.

vinyl only - one press! nick the record teams up with dan tyler (idjut boys) for a fresh edits mission, a record mission! as you d expect from one of the uks most respected record dealers and an idjut sidekick, these are delightfully obscure but utterly deadly cuts lovingly extended and amended for those of discerning ear, and a lightness of foot

shadeleaf continues, with a strident 7 out of 7 on the scoreboard! following a stunning (and sell-out !) ep earlier last year, the north easts answer to michigans finest, steps up again, with probably his strongest work to date. mannmademusic became known very quickly, over the space of a few low key, but expertly realised edits releases for the likes of glenview, lumberjacks in hell & diner city sounds. this ep sees him continue wearing his influences proudly, but re-imagine them in an altogether rawer framework - samples woven together, augmented and redefined, some of it following the classic kdj blueprint but laid out in a style thats all his own. those familiar loops submerged and unfurling, rubbing up against altogether more off-kilter but coherent workouts, sat alongside perfectly measured electronic jams all combining into an ep that stands head and shoulders above the competition. another shadeleaf sureshot!

the slingshots were born in august of 2008 with the idea of recalling and recovering the rhythmic patterns of funk, the warm vocal melodies of soul, the rich instrumental approach of jazz and the energy of rock, from its origins until our times, to offer a danceable rich selection of music and sounds, suitable for everybody, specially those in love with black music. seven men holding many years of experience through a wide and varied musical career form the band.

its toby tobias time folks! ahead of his brilliant lp which will be dropping here on dog in september we give you a little reminder of why he’s one of the heroes of the underground uk house scene. toby has been honing his skills as a producer, dj, promoter and all round nice guy for years now and we’re very happy to be offering up fresh new club business from the man himself in the form of the rising ep. never one to go for the obvious, he always puts his neck on the line and pushes his productions in an interesting and often unexpected direction, making full use of his fully analogue studio to get those ‘happy accidents’ into his tracks which gives him the edge over so many others on the scene today.

sgr is a series of re-issues of the best of aubreys productions on the three labels he produced from 1991 to 2002: solid groove records / textures records / dark records

on mix mups first outing on meakusma, he once again delves deep into abstracted, bleeped-out house music. his characteristically playful and quirky sound has gained him a loyal following amongst those looking for grooves that are as smooth as they are chopped up

albion, the “continental disco” wizard, is back on macadam mambo with a new ep, proving, with those 4 mysterious killer nuggets, that he is definitely the boss to put out weirdo obscurities. and, giving us again the feeling that the level of the tracks on macadam mambo, is getting higher record after record. a new masterpiece on macadam mambo!!

active for over 25 years, max durante is a legendary figure in the italian techno scene. an early 90s innovator in combining the sounds of techno, acid and industrial with his old school project on the legendary italian label acv/hot trax. his project automatic sound unlimited with darchangelo of rephlex records fame was ahead of the game back then. so like glove fits hand. max fits perfectly on sonic groove with a cutting edge , menacing time bomb of an ep. sharp as a razor, hard as steel this is seriously powerful stuff for those that like there techno uncompromised.

underground house from olivier portal (playin 4 the city). track a2 & b1 were originally released on the backshop ep on tropism records 2002, an ep thats very hard to find around on vinyl and the ep comes with a fresh new cut called, minor track which incorporates those classic p4tc vibes & deep rhythms.

cem enters the spm universe with deep experimental vibrations that conjures imagery in the imagination. his genuine approach to other music make this ep very special. it is a true find for those who are not as others.

it s fair to say khijda s debut ep on especial was one of the highlights of the label to date. mustafa - in original form and remixed to distraction by timothy j fairplay - became the soundtrack for many a summer party, while abul was perfect for those deeper late night afters. ... played by jonny 5, dj sofa, ali renault, gitchell moore, the legendary 1979 orchestra, dynamicron (los grandes/our nights), jack pattern, lurid music

estonian upstart merimell joins desolat with this four track forward thinking ep that is pushing the boundaries of the house and techno genre. with nods to moombahton and trap, the ‘cyber seduction ep is set to pique the interest of those looking for something a little different. ‘cyber seduction is a futuristic staccato cut that itches and scratches.

estonian duo ajukaja & andrevski make their follow up to last year’s incredible rare birds ep with two more pieces of wonderfully weird house music on jon rusts label, levels. as spun by joy o on his beats in space mix. plus further support from tama sumo & lakuti,jamie xx, call super. skip stones on the lake of life with these oddball cuts!vinyl only. mastered at dubplates & mastering, berlin. each copy also comes hand stamped with an a4 insert.pronounced aa-yu-ka-ya for those in doubt

the original he serves up here is my groove, a firmly rooted and solid bit of house music with classically inclined vocal chants by gjeazon from crazy like a fox records, that recall eddie amador s biggest cut. subtle details embellish the groove and make it all the more standout, and those deep looping basslines really pull you into the middle of the track, which also has airy hi hats and a sleazy sense of funk. the first remix comes from afterparty founder, rinse fm radio host, former usher tour dj, southern fried affiliate and pioneer collaborator doorly, who also runs his own pigeon hole label. his remix smooths out the kinks and simmers a grainy groove for seven shuffling, seductive minutes. rolling effects and a big breakdown are sure to make for some fist pumping moments in the club. last to remix is play it down producer and foremost danish dj christian nielsen. he does so with an increased sense of urgency and his track hits that bit harder as a result, all thanks to a dirty down low bassline that just rolls and rolls.

repress 2015 ! our friends from leipzig alex and dennis aka sevensol & bender (kann records) sent us some tracks for listening when fauxpas musik wasnt even founded. scuba was one of those and didnt disappear from our mind since then. klick, klack, bumm tschack - now weve got some remixes from oskar offermann (white) and aera (aleph music, goldwill) taking the track further and a perfect ep is done! this vinyl comes in hard plastic sleeve . try it, love it, or not - we do! vinyl tastes better…

available on vinyl (limited to 200 copies, no repress). release number eight on telefonplan is an all family affair. joining mad mats & toolis team of artists is swedish producer wiz andreas saag. mr saag has taken the leap from local talk and now makes his debut on telefonplan. opening track justice is dark, deep and with a sumptuous bass to sink your teeth into. it is rough and punchy with a clever vocal sample that almost works like a chant. justice comes in two versions, for those of you who like your song instrumental we have made sure your wish is granted too, it still got enough intensity about it without losing the pulsating heaviness. on the flipside, call of yacuma could be described as a grittier and stripped down version of andreas previous local talk track in the box. it is pure simplicity and groove makes it simply irresistible. listening to these tracks it is clear mr saag has been influenced by living in berlin these past years. both justice and call of yacuma wouldnt sound out of place in a dark club with a big soundsystem late at night. just make sure you get past the bouncer while entering the club.

2014 was a definitely a huge year for dance music, with many up and coming artists being thrown into the lifestyle of hectic partying and relentless touring schedules. this also means that those who exploded onto the scene prior are no longer the new kids on the block. a few years is a long time in the life of a dj, and the first few years are often the maddest. the adana twins are a perfect example of one of these artists, having emerged onto the scene in 2012 with releases such as everyday and strange , from the off it was clear that they had everybody s undivided attention. (pulse radio) with dj names like take it easy and friso, it s probably to be presumed that german duo adana twins don t take themselves too seriously. that tongue in cheek attitude could be heard on their first productions and remixes. it s now almost almost three years later and the twins music vision is constantly developing

jaumet is back, but not alone: he asked 3 artists to revise music from his latest album la visite. on the a-side, we have a brand new band from düsseldorf, called die wilde jagd. we know those boys from their previous band der räuber und der prinz, released on desolat, which is a favorite from everyone at versatile. they deliver a surprising mix of la visite, in pure kraut fashion. neu is not that far... on the flip-side, the frenchman low jack turns la visite into a dub marshland, multilayered as is typical for low jack s music. and finally, gilb r delivers his own ambient version of one of the highlights of jaumet s album, midnight man, a tribute to i:cube who used to come to the studio at night.

for some it might be kraftwerk, but for me, my favourite electronic pioneers are probably australias severed heads. they were so far ahead of the game that they had to invent a lot of the technology they used. inspired, playful, never boring and always sonically brilliant they pushed at the frontiers of electronic music more than most. by the late 80s they were pursuing a slightly more polished course and made a series of records that had the potential to reach a much larger audience. possibly because of their name they never quite managed that, but they had several big club hits, the dub versions of which crossed over into the nascent house scene. i am honoured that i am able to make the dubs of those three 12 inches from 1988 - 1990 available again.

after debuting earlier this year on a collaborative split with max_m for parachute records, italian producer wrong assessment lands on m_rec ltd with his very own 12. disillusionment is a tightly programmed techno tool packed with groove. there’s a warm and almost melodic bass line here, clearly indebted to the detroit groove, but darkened as it has become custom with italian producers and their sound. the loops that develop around it are of the hypnotic kind… the sound that recently made m_rec ltd label of the month on resident advisor. parachute affiliate cw/a (already involved in clockwork and avatism) delivers a prime time remix that transform the original into an aggressive techno anthem. playing intelligently with the elements of the original, the remix delineates a very interesting narrative as it fluctuates between harshness, funk and psychedelia. expect major playtime. on the flip side, ‘persecutory beliefs’ is basically a tribute to all proper techno dancefloors. with tension and tightness, the track revolves around a forward driving ravey refrain perfected for those late night sessions. closing the ep, ‘inner turmoil’ follows a similar path, but gets druggier and more crepuscular as it evolves. like throughout the entire ep, there’s a love for proper 90s techno at play here. dark stuff for late, late nights. is it clear that max_m and his label m_rec ltd have discovered major talent in wrong assessment. expect more great things throughout 2015.

not content with a rich and flawless back catalogue of releases under a plethora of monikers such as dabrye, jtc and charles manier spanning multiple genres on a wide variety of labels such as ghostly international, rephlex amongst many others, and a career spanning 15 years, 2014 seemed like the right time to make plans to create an imprint with the aim of releasing the the rich flood of music that flows forth from tadd mullinix’s ann arbor studio. those plans have come to fruition and the first release this year is a 3 track 12” from jtc.

the second record of athens based equivalence records comes from the labels co-owner and overall man of the hour, kreon. following in the steps of the first release, which has already been played by ricardo villalobos in fabric, 002 features two stripped down stompers, emanating analog warmth and hiss, while holding the groove and mystery throughout. groovy, low key, sub dub - perfect for those low ceiling places in the late early hours. early support by the usual suspects.

the tracks here are in the brutalist machine house vein and the source material for * we come together* (by mazi as asp and john griffin as awoke) will be familiar to devotees of roots chicago house. the brodanse brothers * sleep won t come* is remixed by audio soul project and awoke. chicago based multi-instrumentalist jonn wallen contributes the dense * aesthete* under pseudonym *by gordon gartrelle*. * we get together* is a tribute to the 90s house that inspired us to start making music years ago. people reminisce about how things used to be better, but you must breath in the present. we keep with us those hallowed bones but let pain and suffering fade into the mist. we let memories fade in the depths of our neural web so as not to be paralyzed by the burden of sentiment. we forget to stay sane.

ostfunk records proudly presents sonntagsmelodie ep - definitely one of those records where you can t really pick a favourite! this release includes 2 hot originals by newcomer duo stockwerk2 & shineline and is packed up with amazing remixes by drauf & dran and rich vom dorf. keep your ears open because this vinyl will for sure turn you sweaty and happy.

fresh from 1986, all time garage-house-afro crossover classic... absolutely timeless house anthem! need we say more? *ma foom bey* is one of those records, totally flawless, big in the dance everytime. stripped back drum machines, that cavernous, instantly recognizable bass-line & those chants, killing sound-systems stone dead! as we said before, dropped on easy street in 86, edited by the legendary tony humphries & subsequently caned by 3 generations of dj s across the galaxy ever since. every home should have a copy of this, no collection is complete without it. a record that will never go out of style & will always provoke some buckwild reactions on any dance-floor it is dropped on! shout out to easy street, %100 legit re-issue, re-master & re-press, essential wax!

strange happenings are going on down at scrutton street, ec1. with release after release cementing the names of those based or working out of the studio bunker, a desire for pushing the boundaries of electronic music is primary with little concern for whats hip. so if anyone can tim can and here with his newly birthed pseudonym comes junior fairplay. with a one-sided release and remix to his name on crimes of the future a glimpse has been offered of whats in store, but how do you like me now? gives it straight.

another various artists special from the mighty bokhari camp... two fresh tracks from the lord lucan-esque disappearing russian, kirill tipo, whom we ve been chasing since 2012! creta kano on the flip gives us a slice of electro that sounds like it could have been made in 1988, with a bassline that ll be in your head for days. still high from the scott grooves props of his last venture with bokhari, joe europe returns with another slice of deepness for those who like some musical content in their house

atjazz on local talk! pretty good combo right? well, just wait until you hear fox tooth and we re quite sure you ll agree with us that this is something above normal rank. martin iveson aka atjazz gave us a release that will work just as well on big sound systems as well as in those dark house basements. the original version is an electronic house jam that s equipped with all necessary tools in order to peak in the main room but without all the played out tech-house schemes. it s uplifting yet dark and carves a very personal groove - yum ! oh, don t miss the killer break down...big! the second version comes in the form of his inspired atjazz galaxy aart dub and this to be fair is more of a remix than a dub. here we step straight down to the darkness for a warming deep house cut that sounds like something from the prescription archives but still retaining the trademark atjazz sound. this is simply, sophisticated house music for those who like things real.

liebe046 with this very special vinyl 12 release liebe*detail strikes a new path. for the first time you will find 4 tracks by different artists on one ep. this time it means tracks by artists from augsburg, berlin, budapest and vienna! dominik marz arsy vrko ken hayakawa soundwise the tracks are between melodic baseline driven deep house and slow acid infected techno.
