sophomore ep by brooklyns new house prodigy willie burns, who has been honing his craft under various guises for the better part of a decade. expanding on the foundation laid on his l.i.e.s. ep earlier this year, here we see willy take a more aggressive approach towards more commercial territory... errrm as if... in any case, classic house tunes with a ny twist.

eminor goes 30! even with round numbers, eminor continues ist path of digging deep into the universe of talents, coming up with a mix of freaky weirdness and heavy reduction. a1: jon seber - juggernaut. after listening to this masterpiece, people will almost certainly agree that this a guy is one to watch! a2: jon seber - juggernaut (benjamin fehr rmx). benjamin fehr turns the original into a wobbling universe of strangeness, an orchestra of the weird. b1: reagen - black clock. with reagen s black clock, eminor dares to step back into the world of harsh and heavy techno, excellent production, a massive order of drums in time. b2: reagen - black clock (dubit s quiet bimix). dubit analyses the black clock with an equally focussed, clear structured yet more subtle approach, toolish and monumental.

after the success leonid neverminds light is here ep, we invited a few artists to reinterpret and reshape leonids work. first up is dutch duo duijn & douglas, who already released on nowar, who took on thymus stimulator and turned it into a deep and funky time bomb. very basic and strongly efficient grooves layered with riffs and counter-riffs, making you hooked instantly. a wonderful hip-shaker! on the flipside detroits kris wadsworth, with solid releases on nrk and boe recordings, applied a more machine funk approach turning feel into a deep jack workout with leonids original dreamy sounds enveloping kriss rawness. finally miles sagnia, whose releases on his own atmospheric existence and aesthetic audio prove to be timeless gems, also combined the raw and the soulful. a true deep house gem with funky basslines, straightforward beats and a sweet deep almost detroit techy vibe.

during a stay in munich anthony shake shakir heard a demo version of the song >hammering< and was so thrilled by it, that he decided he wanted to release it on his own label frictional.
striking about the 12-inch is the way it was done. the basement is the track >hammering<, a techno track that uses a sample of a work song from an historical recording dating from the 1930s. the swinging-souly voices are combined with a clear and funky beat that pushes you forward, and you wont forget the voice for a long time, even after the track has been listened to multiple times.after that anthony shake shakir created a remix that afterwards was again remixed by splits & slits.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

waifs & strays are at it again, this time sliding seamlessly into the supremely sexy catalogue of hot creations with >body shiver<, another pair of bristol bombs with a rowdy remix from hot natured to roll out the summer.

jimmy posters and huxleys new imprint saints & sonnets present their debut ep from production duo ethyl & huxley with the 3 feet high ep. deep, powerful and rounded deep house is on the menu for release number one as strong bass holds down light melodies and slurry vocals for an undoubtedly peak time record. electronic chameleon and self proclaimed dandy roman flugel is in for remix duty and his dubby mix 2 flirts with push and pull percussion and chopped vocal snippets for a delightfully experimental revision.
played by: dj red d (we play house recs), jepe from johnwaynes, ethyl, j.cub (eclectic avenue records), quell (ibadan, these days), cedric maison (hypercolour), milton jackson, mike omara(development music), mike w - kolour recordings, kevintsuba, chamboche (zleep/under the shade), nicola conte, huxley, sccucci manucci, sean cormac (forward disco nyc)

following the smash hit >summer beach edition compilation< and dinkys positively carnivalesque >time to lose< ep, visionquests latest collection showcases the label at its curatorial best. offering up three elegant tracks from across the broad spectrum of dance-oriented electronica. the inspiring juxtaposition of david k, my favorite robot and mirko loko together on the fall/winter collection works to create a remarkably unified whole, a versatile remarkable collection for the ensuing darkening months.

we are back with a special release from einmusik. this time samuel kindermann is telling you something about those real summer-nights, those few mysterious and magic hours filled with sounds, colorful lights and beauty all around. -nyx- is one of the songs on the -oceans bottom pt.2- ep. it comes up with an endless dreamy hook, the slappy rhythm is gracious and the groove is full and checkless. bit by bit the headstrong sounds direct you deeper into this track and you re hands will be up at least. backside we find -oneiros- it s a very coltish track with a haunting melody. it s humming in your ears, that s what it is made for. such an easiness coming up while hearing this song, you ll get a bit gushy and your feet won t be able to stop. both songs on are preparing the way into a unique sound-universe which will be opened on einmusiks new album coming up in autumn.

after their superb release last year with >dinosaurs<, that came backed with two heavy paul woolford mixes, south german stars alex flatner & lopazz return to poker flat with three new essential cuts. >this< may sound like a curious title, yet the addictive low-slung, electronic funk within will have you chanting >i just wanna love you baby…< in no time! smooth, slinky production comes hand in hand with producers as experienced as this pair! the mysterious future-disco-funk magic of >hapbee< keeps the party stomping as a whole host of vintage gear flavours this cosmic beatdown. rolling and driving forward with relaxed, summery intent it is a seriously positive tune for those smiling, warm feeling moments. >its< offers a similarly challenging title but musically there is no messing around, with a shaking, simmering slice of modern funk characterised by tonal synth play, percussive splashes and echoed vocal madness - all dripping with funk!

in 2010 the la based label halo cyan records re-released vladislav delay s sistol project. for this deluxe 2cd reissue various well known electronic musicians remixed the recordings from 1999. the whole project received enthusiastic reviews in pitchfork, resident advisor, etc. one of the remixers is mike huckaby, who transferred sistols track >keno< into an outstanding dubby detroit-house masterpiece. it was immediately clear that this track had to be released on vinyl. we are delighted to announce the collaboration between halo cyan and slics of life for mike huckabys s y n t h remix of keno. on the b-side, mike huckaby remixed a track originally produced in the same time period: poles >silberfisch< was released in 2000 on the highly acclaimed yellow album >3<, re-released by scape in 2008 as part of the 3-cd pole box. in 2011, mike huckaby keeps the dubby and slightly melancholic crackling atmosphere of the original, but his s y n t h remix is beams >silberfisch< straight onto the dancefloor, where it arrives as a driving deep techno track.

mentalic is back after his successfull -cartoons for cash- ep (ipoly008). this time he shows his outstanding skills in a very special field of music – techabilly. this can be described as -slapstick techno with a rebel attitude. so grab your pocket comb s, get your hair right and start dancing. as guest dancer we can announce mister alec troniq who is cheating mr. lee in a very dark way.
played & supported by anderson noise, broombeck, max cooper, paco osuna and many more.

rockin tracks that will definitely do their damage again ! they delivered absolutely high class rockin tracks with their first release on afulab 16 outsider ep last year already, but spared no efforts to top it with this monster four track carnival ep.carnival for sure is a peak time monster that leaves no doubt to be bangin’ dancefloors around the globe pretty soon and is already working more than well with a very few selected djs. followed by the next great techno tune virus to fulfill the duty with power on the a side. side aa starts off to a bit darker territories with rauco and rounds it up with a nice remix treatment by collaborateur manel diaz!
we love and release on vinyl !

in a time when rock critics saw the prodigy as a glorified keyboard player flanked by a couple of weird and scary dancers, liam howlett & co showed the world how dance had evolved away from the club scene and into the festivals & arenas.
and they did that by staying true to their own sound. while dance moved from acid house to rave to ambient to breakbeat & drum n bass, the prodigy changed their brand of hard-hitting breakbeat with king-sized hooks and unmissable samples only sparingly.
always outnumbered, never outgunned was the long-awaited album after their breakthrough smash fat of the land. featured on the album are namesake liam gallagher, kool keith, twista and even juliette lewis, morphed and wrangled beyond recognition on an album that goes back to the core of what the prodigy stands for: a thumping bass, mad beats & noise flying every which way but loose!

supported by: ricardo villalobos, reboot, mathias kaden, markus fix, sascha dive, ray okparah …
jax is a collective of like-minded artists, musicians, thinkers movers and booty-shakers, who believe there is more to records than just some grooves engraved into black plastic. their vision is to treat each release as a presentation in itself, complete with original and individual artwork, features and an exhibition. each production will feature artwork shown in a cube of about 8 cubic meters. every record-released will be strictly-limited to 500 copies, which includes a poster referencing the piece made by the artist! daniel roth was born in seeheim near frankfurt. he started to experiment with different styles of electronical music using an akai mpc and a juno 106 in 1997. by this time he wasnt thinking of making music his profession. he then started his studies in skulpturing at the städel in frankfurt. after having finished art school he took up producing music again, influenced by his art and contemporary dance music styles. with his jax release he showcases his ability to combine different elements with his unique touch.

out of an 8.8 earthquake, riots and severe illness comes one of the most joyful records of the year. brian gibbs aka echo park has had a colourful life to say the least, living and making music in l.a., tokyo, madrid, mexico city and now santiago, chile where he lives with his young family. previously a producer of dark hip hop and dub, a series of disasters made him confront mortality and decide it was time to make the music that is closest to his heart: luscious, sunshine-infused electro-funk full of laid back attitude and real songs. skream has always been a lover of disco, boogie and electro – as anyone who has heard one of his specialist sets or his slick n sleazy remix of chromeo will know. it took just one hearing of brians first echo park tracks via a mutual friend to snap them up for disfigured dubz. in fact he has chosen echo park for the first full album on the label… but first comes this killer single, a shmoooove bit of vocoder funk that sets the tone for echo parks twin obsessions with technology and romance. bundled with it are a gutbusting ravemonster of a rework by 12th planet & flinch that somehow still keeps the soul of the track intact, and jon convex taking it way underground with a deeper-than-deep analogue techno version. there is something for everyone here and this is just the beginning.

the proposition is a simple one. it was a 2009 when julio bashmore first remixed >heartbreaker< from deadboys classic first release - the >u cheated< ep on well rounded.
he remoulded the garage template of the original into something more immediate, replacing the swung off-beats of the original with driving forward-rhythms and a clarity of purpose that takes absolutely nothing away from the musical impact of the original. this circulated on mp3 and we smiled and danced.
unexpectedly, in 2010 jb returned to >heartbreaker< for a different interpretation. this time around a more haunting approach was the order of the day with cross-fading strings creating a soulful, otherworldly atmosphere. the drop this time also swapped sub bass for punchy 808s. a tantalising further alternative that pointed the way to this vinyl release.
back 2 back timeless brilliance for the dancefloor on our favourite format. get stuck in.

after two buzzing releases, senzen is quickly getting recognition it deserves. but third time is the charm, right? well, at least in this case. senzen 3 title track, >gonna b<, is based on studio sessions of label boss benno blome together with his long time friend armin engel, who has worked on projects with fela kutis band rhythm taxi & jimi tenor, and had a show on jazzradio berlin for years. the track itself has influences from both producers. tech house meets jazz, what a fascinating concept! freestyle drumming, keyboard jams and effects tied together, creating an original approach to club music. remixers of >gonna b<, marcin czubala (mobilee) and jin choi (contexterrior, private gold, archipel), are two of the hottest producers at the moment. after his excellent streak of releases on mobilee, marcin makes an outstanding debut on senzen and delivers a deeply rooted house remix concentrating on tiny tweaks and variations while carrying them solidly throughout the track. jin, on the other hand, doesn’t let functionality stand in the spotlight of his remix. his music is supposed to touch emotionally and to move the head and the body - and believe me, it does!

on their last album franz and jakob aka format b were to be found covered in soot and coal, firing up the engines of the dance locomotive, now they have gone greener and swapped over to wind power and are fishing the >restless< oceans of the world. tirelessly the two sailors work on the deck disregarding the cold and the weather, pulling in the nets filled with floundering hits. this time they have spiced up the bait with the amazing voice of fran on >liquid< who turns into a working class siren and manages to rock the boat properly with track 2. keeping with the maritime theme the boys have used a harmonica on >socks and sandals< and a piano on >piano man<. classic format b can be found on >atomizer< and >oversexed< … kicking man high bass beats to thrill the four quarter beat fans, and >biker meth< is going to keep you dancing till noon (at least). even with the pressures of jet setting, label management, party organisation, building a studio, and the romantic needs of their girlfriends they have still managed to finish their first formatik album to their complete satisfaction and are extremely proud to present the first artist album on formatik records. ahoi and enjoy people!

rad rice and steven boardman are radical majik. they sculpt bowel-shatteringly funky head-spinners, hewn from bare circuits, and disco sweat. previous dancefloor-botherers include >dub rider<, >spread the hot potato<, >direct action< and remixes for 2raumwohung and andrew weatherall.

wack records return after a short holiday in scarborough. this time fully equipped with giant disco balls, 70s roller boots and flame throwers in order to get the party started right! dj kid stretch hails from greece (dmc greek champion 2000) and his production skills shine in this superb refix of disco got me mesmerized. french veteran dj prosper turns the heat up with his version of disco reach blending soul and electronica. on the b-side smov busts some rhymes and flips it over a melody of a pure disco classic dropped into a vat of tuff beats that result in busta move. the breakbeat junkies collaboration with dj p from stoke u.k resulted in this powerful ball breaker of a tune that will leave you in a slump exhausted from got what it takes.

following their first release, which featured four brand new artists, the guys over at disconnected are back with dscntd 002.
this time its a full ep from chocky, which features a remix from brooklyns krts. the dscntd releases resist the modern addiction to genre pigeon-holing, instead they focus on pushing a variety of interesting and emotive sounds. this five track ep captures the rich and varied musical inspirations of the mysterious man simply know as chocky. first up is >down with idris<, a beautifully, blissed-out slice of electronica. krts supplies a dusty, broken remix with a deep, creeping progression, these two versions really compliment each other. on the flip you will find the jazzy >can i mither you<, suspenseful but really groovy house music. finishing the whole thing off is the deep as you like >frizzy fuzz<, lovely drums and synths, pure atmosphere. and keep an ear out for chockys interlude/dj tool >ripp off<, it pays homage to his love of sampling...
300 single pressed, hand stamped & individually numbered records.

>they were from downtown, somewhere in soho and boy did they love that drum machine of theirs...< following the stellar trip down 80s lane with the bicep boys, mystery meat returns with two rip-roaring edits from soho808, another rising duo, but this time from across the pond in nyc. these fine gents have been causing an absolute ruckus over the past few months or so following appearances on soul claps social experiment 002 mix (not to mention doing an awesome podcast for soul claps acclaimed series) as well as jamie jones fabric 59 mix, berlins dikso imprint, and being featured on the wurst music ever compilation due out this fall. big tings a gwan to say the very least! here we see the chaps head into edits territory, well sorta. to call these edits is quite an understatement. soho808 give a serious overhaul to two songs of discos past, adding additional instrumentation and tweaking the arrangement big time. first up to bat is trouble and strife, an amazing, slow-burning take on one of the most famous of songs from the past couple of decades. trust us, you cant resist! flip it over for a loopy counterpart, low-slung, sultry female vox and all. mmmm, well bring our meat to suzys bbq any day!

second 10 inch by benjamin brunn to complete his gorgeous >dust< release.

for their sophomore release catapult records presents the debut solo release from the organ grinder aka chico from didz and chico fame, one half of the duo that brought us the outstanding >something new< on doc daneekas ten thousand yen label. >obsession< and >new age people< are back on the old school renaissance tip sharing the same soulful classic tones that underpinned >something new< which got plays from the likes of larent garnier and sinden.
these are two classy modern garage hits that have a back in the day vintage feel, think tuff jams garage classic >experience<, think us garage at its peak, think iceberg chinos and mochino shirts, think everyone having a good time in clubs. both tracks are swingers aimed directly at the dance floor full of soulful vocal snippets, catchy melodies, shuffling rhythm patterns, warm vintage keys and plenty of deep bass.

a debut release for both band and label, parisian duo paradis bring two eloquently produced tracks to beats in space in the form of the >parfait tirage / la ballade de jim< 12 inch (bis001). admirers from afar of dj tim sweeneys weekly on air institution of 12 years (from which the label takes its name), paradis submitted demos hoping they might hack it for some play time. reared on classical and jazz, turned young hip hop rebels, turned teen club crawlers, and then university machine tinkerers, simon meny & pierre rousseau grew out of genre jumping while young enough to stay ahead and settle into music making centered around melody and emotion.
