we are pleased to present with * black hole* by meta.83 the work of a consequent defender of the art of analogue production. the soon available track * black hole* by the liebe*detail co-founder jinxed us from the very first moment and it was clear to us, that we d like to add a number of top-class remixes beside the original. for this we were able to win no one else then the tobias and borrowed identity (after his recent release on pastamusik * crack in the box ep*). the powerful acid bassline in the original version as well as in the gravity version creates from the very first moment a hypnotic undertow which seems to keep increasing throughout the track. its masterfully celebrated how to generate effective hits by carefully chosen elements and canny used effects. tobias also devote the focus in his interpretation on the acid aspect – but with more dynamics and with a higher beat frequency which will make every techno-djs heart beat faster. when carefully set tones are fading in and out this version gets a brilliant final touch. the remix of borrowed identity sounds in its structure more dirty and rough and though at the same time very fragile. a wonderful gem in pure culture drifting towards a black hole ..... perfect.

ahead of their highly anticipated debut lp due on golf channel this fall, the berlin duo drop this little taster. the heavy, percussion driven analogue sound that is their trademark comes in two tight packages. the title track is all snaky rhythms and squelchy riffing and comes complete with exactly the kind of dense, break heavy remix that we would expect from compatriot, and top buddy of the band, wolf muller. flipside revanche is a sunnier affair, deft touches on the acoustic guitar and lighter percussion, but no less the party starter because of it. golf channel every time !

mount liberation unlimited s debut 12inch on junk yard connections, astro travelling life, has become one of the most in demand deep house releases of 2014. a year on, they finally deliver a follow-up, this time on superconscious records. all three tracks primarily succeed due to their blend of rough analogue elements, crusty drum machine hits, tape hiss, and so on and the kind of dreamy, stargazing chords and melodies that have always been a hall mark of classic deep house. its the detroit techno influenced polyphonic spree, all cymbal-heavy shuffle, stretched-out chords and funky synthesizers - that arguably stands out, though its a tough call given the high quality threshold throughout.

perception of time is a variable that transcends any state known to us (or presumed). dragged by a force majeure, the dionysian spirit is a life force and chaos of becoming. the apollonian spirit is fleeing from the unpredictability of events. the eternal return is a trap which is subjected to static human destiny.

the mysterious troy returns on dr with his second ep ever released. it seems like the perfect time for troys northbound ep, 4 very distinctive, cold, yet beautifully designed pieces, which perfectly underline the atmosphere this time of year.
on the a side, detail and evolution are the foundation of the lengthy *bh3*, which also futures a hard hitting remix by takaaki itoh from japan.
the b side features two more melodic cuts. *archer* stresses the journey into the cold, with its synth work nearing dissonance, while remaining in complex and admirable harmony. the title track *northbound* is a more straight forward loop, which builds up to something rather chilly and unheard before.

moscow label grow continues in fine creative form, seemingly not sticking to a motive or trend but rather concentrating on the strength of character within the music it releases. for the labels eighth release the artist is berlin based the marx trukker, who over the last 10 years has been developing his very distinct sound and recent output on labels like pluie/noir, the untold stories, and most recently noorden, have all been especially impressive. now on grow comes the 4 track vinyl * heavens crackling*, from the title one is expecting something awesome, and the album does not disappoint, right from the off, the first track: * a time well spent*, begins with celestial tones ringing out and the performance develops with great synth work, enlightened and very enlivening, spring is in step and something is beginning. the record continues at such a level throughout, overflowing with rich tones, warmth, and raw sounding percussion. in the second track, * all the boating still a tide to go*, deep warm bass and strings reverberate, as if amidst a hot harbours summer, then the ethereal synths return as magical breezes of cooling wind on a june day. on the bside comes the title track * heavens crackling*, the tone has cooled, there is an autumnal vibe, extended tones of an eerie but reassuring nature provide the ground, from under which a molten bass flows playfully. the final track, * i do anything but its so cold*, as the title would suggest, again time has passed, gone are the warm relaxed echoes of the the opening tracks, winter has come, and a strong percussive energy becomes the driving force of an especially deep and more introverted last track. in heavens crackling there is an uncanny understanding of time passing and representation of being, its present in the patience and performance within every track, and the effect of the album, which seems, like the seasons, to naturally come full circle, is for the listener indeed to experience a time well spent. top marks for the marx trukker!

same procedure, different music! again the imprint’s limited serie steps up with a one-sided vinyl. limitation to 50 transparent vinyls only! this time the music is contributed by no other than snuffo, one half of the infamous snuff crew. well known through releases on labels like bpitch control, rush hour or their very own imprint snuff trax the boys are no stranger to the scene. „one of those nights“ is a good example for snuffo’s versatile musical approach as he delivers a pretty technoid piece of music. the track is all about the hypnotic vocal-sample that makes you wanna go mad. paired with a heavy-ass baseline this track is exactly what you need to have one of those nights.

vent adds yet again new sonic influences to its palette, this time owing thanks to its main curator tolga baklacioglu. with this release, we are pleased to add more than just a sprinkle of industrial and ebm influences to the catalogue of records we are proud to say is the sound of vent. to make things even better, one of more interesting techno producers as of late, and also sweden’s favourite son - daniel andréasson - wanted to lend us a hand to really bring the point home with this record. laden heavy with distortion, this release goes further than one can call the lofi sound - instead the thought is taken to its logical conclusion: distortion is as much an element in its own right as time, space and velocity.

new 6 track avian release from chicago based musician connor camburn. comes with a printed inner and outer avian jacket. big support from avian fans...
avian s first release since absorbing its sister label mira comes from chicago based musician connor camburn under the alias litüus, with an entirely beatless collection that well establishes avian as the home for the kind of searching electronic experimentation that would have been found on the ten-inch focused imprint that shifted recently announced would merge with its parent label. the ep follows previous cassette releases under the litüus name for brave mysteries, notice recordings and mazurka editions and comprised entirely of real time single-take recordings on hardware instrumentation. shorn of percussive elements yet not without their own rhythmic structures, camburn s six compositions are free of immediate electronic genre influences and instead draw primarily on non-musical inspiration in addition to various other contextual reference points, as he sought to express ideas of the unraveling or -de-composition- of musical or architectural spaces through musical forms imagined as inverted contours and negative spaces.

music is love s sister label mil returns quickly returns after the dark and edgy warning ep by kastil and the tougher sound seems to have stuck around in this their 7th release. muscle house sees young irishman chris hanna step to the plate with his very own brand of tough synth driven electronic music. having just released on ejeca s own imprint this is a name you ll be hearing more of. opening the ep is drone, a rough distorted track that is narrated by the constant synth buzzing above the heavy groove laid down by hanna, peak time madness. a2. finds chris track the colonel, another furiously paced peak time track laced with a seriously evy sequenced based line straight outta detroit.

for the second release on her return to disorder label, helena hauff taps into the dark underbelly of the athens techno scene and presents the undoubted talents of greek producer morah. a resident at athens party phormix, morah has clearly been crafting his productions skills in private for some time as this three track 12inch is a powerful display of techno at its dankest. solution sets the tone, dipping into gnarled acid electro that seems to teeter on the brink of all out chaos with fellow a-side track take all similarly nasty. morah gets a chance to show his more experimental side with up in flames, a scorched exercise in freeform electronics with some particularly haunting vocals.

continuing to release the gems, andreas gehm makes his super rhythm trax debut with a 4 tracker of on point acid house music that sounds both modern and classic at the same time. ranging from the crooning 303s of i dont dance through the lush detroitesque strings of there to the box working fire department west and the almost dbx like modulation on control your mind, there s something for all fans of real techno and acid music on here. super rhythm trax delivering the goodness again

after a furious release by atlantis’ best kept secret cuttlefish & asparagus entitled hang on in there, kalakuta soul records meticulously puts a new twelve together you’d want to throw your hands upon immediately. always referring to sadar bahar as one of the most influential cats to their work, the crew behind the label hasn’t stopped crying ever since they received the tracks. and although we’ve pinched them a couple of times, they still can’t seem to believe this really is coming true. can you? now it surely isn’t the first time the world’s coolest cat has released a couple of his rare edits. but you surely are still dancing and sweating to his unforgettable chicken wing edits series and have been wondering, what this guy’s been doing. well, soul in the hole’s true soul and dj’s dj sadar bahar has been travelling around the world giving everybody a serious lesson in soul music that he calls disco beatdown. some brothers would also name sadar’s ceremonies “exorcism-, which pretty much leads us back to the tracks released on this fantastic sounding 12&#8243,,,, disco single.

originally released back in 2006 destination boogie has been one of zr s most popular and respected compilations. in fact we recently reissued it on vinyl for the first time. there s a lot of crappy edits out there, we believe these dr packer reworks are very worthwhile, well constructed new versions that make the tracks more playable for today s dancefloors whilst retaining their boogie tastic musicality. since the album was released the whole edit culture has exploded so we thought it would be a nice idea to get one of the best, dr packer, to rework four of the most danceable cuts from the album. we at zr hq think he s done a great job on these.

poker flats forward to the past anthology returns in its 3rd iteration, as lean and mean as it ever was and precision-engineered to make you jack, dream and all things in between. the winning formula remains the same: task a selection of hotshot veteran and up-and-coming producers with recapturing the style and mood of early club music, paying homage to the golden years between 1985 and 1992 when chicago house and acid, new york house and detroit techno took the world and its dancefloors by storm. the result is a collection of new and exclusive tracks as addictive as the stone cold classics that influenced them - a tribute and, at the same time, the cutting edge of contemporary music production.
