charles duff and daniel fisher have known each other since well before their respective forays into dance music. they serendipitously crossed paths at some point in the early 2010s with mutual friends in the nyc club kid scene. shortly thereafter they realised they both were keen to ditch the vapid hipster bullshit that had fueled their early careers thus far in order to pursue something pure: techno. mind you, this was at a time when it was not terribly cool to be into underground dance music. if anything, they both were greeted with massive skepticism from their peers but that didn t ultimately deter them. both went from relative obscurity to regular slots at berghain. and for two american kids musing in a pathetic bedroom studio, this was nothing short of a dream come true. a prophecy had been fulfilled. the two tried their hands at numerous attempts at collaboration over a 5 year period but nothing seemed to stick. most of it sucked horrendously according to them. but not on this occasion. the stars finally came into alignment and they were able to execute a concise group of tracks that finally made sense together. which brings us to threads. threads, an homage to the uber-dystopian bbc docudrama from the 80s, sums up their dynamic approach to tracks. it s an alienating, sinister take on techno that somehow manages to not fully lose faith in dire times. much like life today.

mysterious label from italy.

the detroit threads record store has survived in one incarnation or another for more than16 years. in this time personal relationships have formed with music makers of every circle over the common bond of vinyl sound. it was a logical step to give back to this community a product that reflects the many faces that make up the store. a store that has been and will continue to be a hub for the exchange of ideas, kept alive by like minded people who still believe in the independent detroit spirit. this spirit shines upon the unique artists that move to their own beat, and never compromise their vision. detroit threads gives a voice to these artists that should be heard. nospectical is walter wasack, jennifer paull, and chistopher mcnamara. they are a team of detroit sound artists that lean into e.d.m. on the minimal tip. their comfort zone is inside of a sounds cape near the sphere of unconsciousness. nospectical is a cool dark breeze that is alive with a pulse. they tread into strangeness and let it come together to form a neurotic world. nospectical works to broaden the view and redefine the depth of detroit techno. detroit threads is proud to support this cause.

the detroit threads team is at the center of a community of vinyl enthusiasts that take pride in their individual approach to sound. this community struggles to keep their vision alive though the warmth of the medium that holds a special place in the heart, vinyl. as the electronic sound evolves new faces and styles emerge to challenge the establishment. detroit threads hears those voices and works to give them a platform. hou531 and .kite were chosen to represent detrot threads, because they are the yin and yang of the detroit dubstep movement. hou531 has a rambunchous method of creating grinding dubstep that is a release from a lifetime of detroit pressure. where as, .kite uses ethereal synth ambience sprinkled lightly with drum and bass to create an environment that is both sad and beautiful. these artists are under the radar, but by no means are they irrelevant.

nice price deal !!! limited 5 tracks of deep detroit techno and house. bass swizzles! main a side cut >highlander< shines on the ep. tight syncopated groove with synth stabs and swells. pure floor magic.

split 12 inch from two detroit mainstay producers. detroit house + starkness techno.

detroit threads recordings is a loose family of artists housed under mikal smith’s roof. our family delights in invention, respects tradition and has a deep love for the experimental. our ethos is hypnotism, telepathy, and mathematics working as one. we work together to express ourselves so that the way we live may not be lost. the focus of our latest e.p. is the detroit techno militia. the militia was formed to keep detroit’s edge sharp and its’ sound underground. we hope to display their brand of relentless technique that has built for them a loyal following. we are proud to have the militia on our side.

mikel smith has provided a stable and fresh pool of vinyl for the detroit area for the last 14 years. his store has had its part in keeping together the always evolving network of detroit artists and their events. the detroit threads record label has been erected to celebrate those individuals that have gone above and beyond the call of duty in the service of detroit. it celebrates the positive and forward thinking artists that push the envelope of the detroit sound. detroit threads has and will always be a sanctuary for new ideas and concepts.

ntogns second full length album was made for the art installation *where threads lead*, curated by frantic art gallery in tokyo.
the idea is to give a sonic interpretation of strings as both art and as an all encompassing structure of life. ntogn s approach to this has been to work with few evolving elements, flowing and curving like threads in a web. resulting in a varied lot of sonic braids.
early support by cio d or, svreca, takaaki itoh, valentin corujo (exium), mod21, attemporal, eomac, iori, jonas kopp, rasmus hedlund, retina.it, victor martinez, periskop, sam kdc, antonio vazquez, blndr, luigi tozzi

jim coles has spent the past three years refining a unique sound as om unit via collaborations with machinedrum on planet mu, releases on goldies metalheadz, dbridges exit records and civil music, his own cosmic bridge label and the short-lived phillip d. kick alias that fleshed out the links between chicagos footwork, jungle and slow/fast. the confluence of all this work takes full flight on threads.

wilde calm records is proud to present a new ep of modern percussion edits from brooklyn producer boonlorm. this collection of reworks was started around the same time boonlorm began recording string figures, his album of prepared piano house music. it shares a similar sound to string figures rich combination of tonal, atonal and percussive timbres. by adding his raw drum programming to tease out the latent techno qualities in these modern percussion opuses, boonlorm once again pays homage to chicago, detroit, and the 20th century avant-garde.

the rugged, noirish soul of dave ajus third album black frames is still lingering in our minds months after it dropped, and as you well know by now we at circus company can never get enough of the san francisco mans honey-coated voice. as such, we once again reached out to dear friends and like-minded souls within the house and techno community to deliver three reinterpretations of the mans distinctive sound for a fresh dancefloor perspective.

british musician jo johnsons debut solo album for further records, weaving, betokens an exciting presence in the world of minimalist composition. the vinyl includes a download code.

black frames is a creation from two major life transitions for dave aju, namely the end of a long-term relationship combined with a move away from his home town of san francisco. punctuated with philosophical statements and political punches, the former mc proves he isnt afraid to use his voice and production skills to unite music and passion with his latest album on circus company.

landshapes is the sound of four people in a dingy practice room, building on accidents, listening over and reworking obsessively until every band member is satisfied. an unconventional and serendipitous a process it might be, but it is crucial to landshapes overall sound.
their debut album rambutan – the name chosen *not so much after the fruit but for the sound the word makes* and produced by ash workman is a distillation of songs old and new, re-worked and fine tuned with a deft precision.
vinyl lp includes cd-version of the album.
