youth isn’t usually associated with wisdom, or depth or complexity for that matter. most 22 year-olds are still figuring out how a washing machine works but in the case of howes (the solo project of manchester-based john howes) he’s making electronic music that is operating on innovative and experimental levels one might expect from a hardened career musician hitting their stride. having released a more house-oriented 12” on melodic a couple of years ago, his debut album proper is a record that is as expressive as it is cohesive. it’s a release that floats between nocturnal stillness and insomniac driven intensity. the shift, howes says, “comes from the forced and narrow nature of a lot of electronic music. most modern electronic music to me is too safe in terms of ambition, sound design and intention.”
the limited edition 180g heavyweight vinyl includes a download code and comes housed in reverse board outer sleeve and black inner bag.

yse saint laur ant has spent far too long writing and releasing music in one guise or another to endure writing clever promo/impress releases. instead, vinyl only wants to let the music speak for itself keep it simple if you dont like it today then thats cool, we get we cant please all the people, all of the time. however if don t buy from juno today please dont whine to us when you ll be forced to spend the better part of double/treble the price for this very same release on discogs in a few years time

ltd 2016 repress !! helsinki based common labour gives birth to its second offering on this limited vinyl only release. continuing in the same vein of quality twisted deep house, potholes unravels the mahla ep. the title track mahla gets the juices flowing with a hypnotic deep house groover. serenades head honcho roberto rodriguez takes the remix reins and works mahla into a more percussive and refined interpretation. its an honour having him on the common labour imprint. on the flip side, gambler sleazes off into b-grade italo disco spaghetti western territory. a possible soundtrack to a horror flick with kenny rogers stumbling into a truckers rest area after a messy night out. rounding off the ep, spoekhus picks up the pace and mood giving the handbag circle some ammo to shuffle their stilettos too. cementing another polished offering from this artisan label.

coeo are to toy tonics records, what master at work were to the house scene of the 1990ies: they bring the soul into the house. their new ep back in the days is a 4 track house stomper that could have been made in 1997 by guys like sneak, dimitri from paris or little louie. but still the similarities to the new berlin sample-house scene around max graef and hodini are evident, too. already their last years superhit native riddim (which is featured as a bonus track on this vinyl) included some heavy jazz samples they found in their parents bag of soul. native riddim has been no.1 in the traxsource charts for several weeks and was the basis for their already huge following. from laurent garnier to tensnake - the feedback has been awesome. now they proceed their way of souldful house. just good taste.

as far as defying conventions goes, frits is on a whole new level of realness. with his new label bobby donny, hes putting out leftfield electronic music with a big f.y. attitude and hes not too shy to tell you why the current state of the house scene is so utterly boring to him.

we re really excited to release our first 7inch! we ve been sitting on this carisma 80 s synth boogie track for a few years, waiting for the right partner to come along and finally found one in the shape of breathe, an electro ripper featuring our old pal, alejandro paz on vocals. both tracks bookended our boiler room upfront mix last year and we ve been asked about them ever since. now you can enjoy them too.

the state of the world e.p. brings you 4 new tracks by philippe petit. appearing develops a positive tone through layers of heavy bass and a deep 808 kick that finally blooms into a warm synth line. expanding exults happiness thanks to its multiple layered bleepiness, aiming to put the listener in a state of trance. shrinking is a hard hitting percussive affair, whose relentless beats, driving hi-hats patterns and claps take you into what can be seen as a neverending downward spiral. disappearing rings the alarm with a 132 bpm fury of pads and subtle acid, but it might already be too late... support from rodhad, len faki, johannes volk, boris, samuli kemppi, i/y and many more..

the first release of slagerparade - full pupps brand new imprimt for sought after or (too long previously) neglected classics of norwegian heritate has finally arrived. actually appearing on the b side of skatebards flashes in the night ep from 2006 which was done by digitalo enterprises/kompakt - data italia is such a gem you really need to listen to believe how good it is. a customer comment from discogs on the 2006 ep says it all: i really dig the b side. data italia is enchanting italo disco. circuitry impulse overload is a slick bleepy techno workout with lush pads, swirls, and classic 808 claps. were proud to release data italia in a 2015 remaster, sagtann remix and prins thomas versione lunga strada! we let the music speak for itself. more hotness and hot mess just around the corner. full pupp hq, juli 2015

repress in blue vinyl !! the late french soundtrack composer (1939-1975) was one of the first to use frequency modulators on an 8 track homestudio. he was known for his melodic works mixing electronic & acoustic. his oeuvre has been sampled by many. this release devotes a posthumous work composed for a cousteau documentary which was refused, probably beacuse it was too avant-garde. on the second disc youll find different tasty style-exercises that show to what extend roubaix manipulated the modulators with ingenuity.

2015 repress , kyle hall is in the full spotlight this spring with releases on hyperdub, 3rd ear, remixes on clone and warp. and also moods and grooves has an exciting release from kyle too with some fresh early works! three phat grooving track track each with its own exquisite quality and soulfulness.

dead fader returns with his new album *glass underworld*. dead fader is the alter ego of john cohen - former brighton resident, now based in berlin - who has worked relentlessly since 2007 to realise his vision of electronic music. his tracks are characterised by pioneering sound explorations, which on one hand oscillate between sonic extremities and on the other hand carefully craft cinemascope sound worlds. *glass underworld* became a very personal exploration for john, developing further his emotionally tinged brand of techno which he established with the previous ep sun copter. furthermore, the film interstellar visually influenced the album, mapped as an image for cohens tracks to exist in. the vinyl release is limited to 300 copies and comes with download code included.

cristi cons and vlad caia are household names that really need no further introduction. their dj sets are techno stories well told and their live act is already making waves worldwide. amphia is first and foremost the platform they use to broadcast their finest works. such is the case of sideways, their latest lp, containing more than a dozen tracks coming your way trilogy style.
the first part reveals six tracks on two heavyweight discs. although most of the tracks fit the usual sit musical approach, the listener is greeted with a wide pallete of rhythms. assemble is an atmospheric dub infused with violins and orchestral echoes. permissive starts things up with a playful bass progression and continues with lush pads and cryptic voices. brooklyn’s deep moody synths and monster groove render it broken poetry at it’s best. for sure it will resemble those early danceable mornings. on a more joyful manner we are presented next with bootcamp s sturdy baseline and playful modulated vocals.
mandatory claims a whole side of the second disc and so does come around. while the first is almost experimental but danceable and warm due to the occasional driving percussions and 303 sounds the latter is the star of the show. come around is 15 minutes long and comes with a story too. a great collection of tracks, a great story that backs each one of them makes the first part of the sideways lp trilogy a treat to listen and dance to.

marcel vogel has decided to celebrate the first five years of his edit-heavy lumberjacks in hell imprint in the only way he knows how: by putting together a sumptuous double pack stuffed with fresh new material. in keeping with the way the label has developed in recent times, the eight tracks blend the boundaries between original productions, illicit remixes and straight re edits. there s a celebratory, life affirming feel throughout, from the rubbery bass, d-train synths and rolling house grooves of giovanni damicos the break down, to the bluesy deep house brilliance of borrowed identitys queens bridge. highlights are plentiful elsewhere, too, from the hustlin electrofunk meets disco of vogel s own come on, to the killer synth solos and fuzzy bits of tim jules thrilling slap beat.

(incl deetron rmx / tambien rmx) out with a bang, blitz magic is the final release in the jose padilla too many colours campaign from international feel.

and the true secret of their value is the sobriety, the austerity, of the living space they inhabit. it means that they do not simply occupy, visibly, the space they belong in, but have the scope to perform a variety of unforeseen functions which enables them constantly to surprise us anew. this is what makes them precious and elevates them above the level of a common object.« walter benjamin, spain 1932 grischa lichtenbergers new release »spielraum« is the first of three vinyl eps to thematically accompany the 2-part album »la demeure, il y a péril en la demeure«. on »spielraum«, lichtenberger presents the elements introduced on the preceding album in a different context, but without defining them too precisely and breaking them down to only one dimension.

another essential contribution to the studio barnhus catalogue from the unstoppable force that is baba stiltz. these ultramodern dance pop anthems see young baba utilizing his own voice in a more direct and heartfelt manner than on any of his previous barnhus recordings, as well as dusting off the old acoustic guitar. much more to come, until then: lets make this last, dont move too fast make it for real, know how you feel lets make this last, dont move too fast lets make this real, know how you feel, dont move too fast make it real, know how i feel

joss is a ukrainian producer with a deep understanding of house. he has released his seductive wares on labels like this one as well as get high music and high-jack. a long time vinyl lover, he has played intimate clubs and vast festival all of europe and is now in fine form in production mode, too. opener solely is a deep, shuffling cut with icy hi hats, subtle cymbal splashes and a tight bassline than gurgles and bubbles invitingly. muttered vocals add an all important human element and its a fine effort, once more from the man.

following a decade of producing and djing as hrdvsion, nathan jonson step at what point does this world become too complex for its creator to be all knowing and all powerful? to create an ever changing there needs to be an ever expanding complexity. as in to say never again because of impossibility. we are changing therefore we can never be the same. within this infinite expansion a complexity that has always been, is now revealed

yet again the leafs are turning neon golden, reminding us of the change of seasons lying at the edge of our doorstep. the first cold breezes and the fading warmth of the sun, which we just took for granted so easily, sketch the outline of that mild and soothing melancholia resting in autumn s palms. a mood we can very well enjoy to bury in deeply and with luise s newest release listen to closely. -mentis excessus- is a tenderly crafted tale, a musical journey that paints broad images of false memories and blurry resemblances. like a déjà-vu that lasts too long to put aside, it crawls up your neck to give you that eerie feeling of curiosity with which you look at the uncanny world that suddenly surrounds you. we are very pleased to welcome -wide awake- as the most recent addition to luises s sheltered, little family, a project that has its foundations at the talented hands and hearts of -niju-, -ninze- & -okaxy-. these three banded together for greater good to provide nothing less, but their as well as laut & luise s first album. not restless, no insomnia, just wide awake.

beautifully designed lp on 180g vinyl! just waking up and everything sounding slower. holes in the wall. the unknown in the familiar. the shock of the new. just-turned rubble. thick clouds of recall. muted high-life, de-centered hip-hop, and disparate conversation. heavy, sinking jazz and dissected infomercials. too much chewing gum? not quite anything, or half of something. reminds me of. smells like? turkson side is africanus okokons first album. it is almost entirely sample-based, made largely within a simple, custom-made playback software with each track recorded in one take with very little editing

rarest of the rare and holy grail are terms often thrown around all too easily. in this case both apply, incredibly rare and sought after as well as being a quality piece of music on both sides, you won t get higher up the disco food chain than this. a few weeks ago we brought you 2 unreleased track from the same band but these 2 might as well be unless you have $4000 sitting around for an o.g copy, if you can find one. strictly limited and no repress on this as per o...

timeless e-lover album, as allways heavy on the 808, featuring *you re so fine*, *livin on the nile*, *freak-a-holic*, *the lover*, *a strange place (the alezby inn)* and some more too cool electro!

inspiriert vom new wave und punk der späten siebziger jahre gründen die aus toronto stammende, charismatische sängerin emily haines und der new yorker gitarrist jimmy shaw in brooklyn die band metric. die kombination aus punk, new wave, treibenden dancerhythmen, indiepop und einer spur electronic, verfehlt ihre wirkung nicht. in ihr neues album haben metric referenzen an musiker und acts gepackt, die sie inspiriert haben: depeche mode, new order, the cure, underworld oder kraftwerk. sängerin emily haines erklärt, dass es darum ging *die romantik einer anderen zeit zu finden, ohne in nostalgie zu verfallen*. dieses konzept findet sich auch auf dem albumcover wieder, auf dem das hotel chisca in memphis zu sehen ist (dort gab elvis presley sein erstes radio-interview). das neue album erscheint über das bandeigene label mmi via kobalt label services. doppel-vinyl im klappcover, downloadcode inklusive.

ltd nice price , last copies left... sergio munoz aka delete is quite possibly the most exciting producer ever to come out of venezuela. his music ranges from the darkness of full on rolling techno, to stripped, techie wonders, and in recent months a host of wonderful house influenced numbers. his releases have dropped on great labels including safari electronique, frankie records, tic tac toe, resopal schallware and dubfires sci+tec. london based matt tolfrey is currently riding a mighty wave of support. not only is his leftroom records label releasing some of the finest cuts around from many of the most exciting new artists on the scene. he is current cocoon release >i just cant.. (take it)< alongside inxec is riding high in the charts of the biggest names

this release is a collection of big names of the electronic music history, some of them are legends: pete tong & john monkman lead the list of big artists in this ep, they had produced the bumps a few months ago and now we can see the remixes of that track.
for the remix duties, suara is proud to have on board one of the biggest names of electronic music movement with more than 20 million albums sold, 8 songs in the uk singles chart, masterpieces like play or 18. the name of the remixer is moby, whom did a delicate and sophisticated deep house track for his debut on suara.

when people think of tuff gong they usually think of bob marley and rightly so, as he was nicknamed and often called tuff gong and from this his early releases which came out on the tough gong label. but tuff gong was also the name of a recording complex named after bob marley hat included a top level recording studio, pressing plant and distribution centre that would allow reggae music to carry on many years after his sad and too early demise. we focus for this release on the work carried out by the great scientist on the songs of the black solidarity label run by ossie thomas (aka joe the boss) recorded at tough gong studios. one of the foremost recording, pressing and distribution facilities on the jamaican island set up from the work of bob marley to carry forward reggae music. hope you enjoy this set.

listen & unite! superb recordings presents the brand new ep >mdma< by london based producer & dj by the name of „reformed society“ aka harsh puri. harsh definitely has an affinity for drones and this can be heard on all 3 productions. theres something about drones that is so hypnotic whether its played on its own or like on here in combination with raw techno and house. hope you can feel it too! the tracks are mastered by cgb from dubplates & mastering berlin. print designed by tessa de ceuninck.

omena launches the x series. as the name suggests, this is the first of ten limited releases planned. first out is swedish producer anders hellberg with fiction. this is the sound of having a party inside a whale with a broken rainbow and three pyramids as bass bins. not too harsh or in-your-face, rather clean, crisp, and audible. two remixes courtesy of bleak (delsin/drh/naura). 200 copies only

theyre young and tough, and especially wonderful too, easily one of the most compelling harmony soul groups to ever hail from the windy city! the sets a chicago soul gem from the early 70s, recorded with a laidback, slightly tripped-out vibe thats different than the tighter styles of other groups from the same scene, definitely righteous at points, with some of the superbad modes you might hear from an east coast lineup like the delfonics or soul generation, especially when they were trying to get a bit more conscious in their message. arrangements are great – handled by tom tom washington, eugene record, and cliff davis, very much at the best brunswick mode, but again with a deeper sort of vibe too. the title cuts a monster, and a very fitting follow-up to their earlier sly, slick, & wicked track – and the album features 2 versions (vocal and instrumental) of a cut called this is the lost generation, a very righteous soul groove with a heavy production tip.

the vinyl release of major lazers new album includes a cd with all tracks plus bonus remix of *all my love*.

embryonic ep by columbus, oh artist titonton is brought back to the forefront exactly 20 years after its original release on metamorphic recordings. 4 tracks of that warm and deep midwest techno like nobody else can do it. titonton s totally unique style has definitely withstood the test of time, and like most music created independently of trends it will always sound fresh. we re living in the times that this music was created for and later on down the road when space djs play these cuts from the orbital terrace, it will be for their times too. out of print since the initial pressing it has now been remastered from the original studio tapes for optimum sound quality.

because musics 10 years anniversary with 1lp including cd for the first time. metronomys 2nd studio album, nights out is a timely, thrilling, pop album, a future electro-pop classic, comprising a wholly original mashup of electronic, falsetto-laden brilliance, and a thoroughly modern, freakishly danceable record to be listened to from start to finish. includes the singles radio ladio, my heart rate rapid, heartbreaker & holiday

keeping the momentum going seems fairly easy for barac as he unveils the long awaited second ep on his moment imprint. last years have seen barac evolve in a very lucrative way, yet only his best productions seem to be making their way top. it is clearly the case for this second ep which features two of his solo masterpieces. moment of clarity is electronic poetry at its best. barac delivers the proverbial summer sunrise directly into your speakers and ultimately into your heart. this track is meant to never be forgotten. without changing the soundscape too much barac has a slightly different approach on side b. things get a little more serious with sun & following being driven by a catchy bass and a haunting atmosphere. this tune is as bomb in the night as the other one is in the daylight.

the mighty vakum with this third instalment, featuring the undeniable talents of none other than the shake up connection, scott ferguson, homeboy and lerosa!! the first two vakum 12-s sold out rapidly, and this one will surely too - so don t miss out!

für sein drittes album -nyanza- bereiste das britisch-kenianische musikerkollektiv owiny sigoma band, berüchtigt für seine fusion aus afropop und electro, die gleichnamige provinz in westkenia, um den geburtsort des luo, der populären musik des landes, zu erkunden und mit lokalen und londoner musikern die neuen tracks aufzunehmen. entstanden ist ein atemberaubender soundclash aus tradition und moderne.

helsinkis lauri saine is the storyteller for this, the third chapter of fools & fables. pleasingly his irresistible releases dont come along all that often, but when they do, they justifiably make serious waves. small remedies, takes us on a journey to a side of saine we seldom see. first things first, blush cuts a breezy, cheerful path through a warm analogue space, with the mid-tempo throb of sampled rhythms to keep you from drifting too far off course. casual wears altogether looser pants as we just bob to and fro in a hammock while rum-soaked session players jam away in a distant speakeasy. the tropical breeze blows free through leisure song too, as we begin to get the impression finland might actually be a small pacific island.

after a great release as oyama edit on most excellent unlimited imprint recently, mori ra is back on macadam mambo edits with 4 absolute killer nuggets!! all the tracks are incredibly obscure stuff magnified by the japanese edit master. indian acid vibes, afro, balearic dreammy synth-pop, he has set high standards !! run to grab a copy, thats the kind of stunning release which dont sleep too long in the shops.

glorious re issue of this classic soul lp from the brunswick vaults. impossible to find on vinyl this album gets its first ever vinyl re issue since its original release in 1976. fully re mastered for 2015 and released officially in conjunction with brunswick records in its original artwork.

now four releases in, razor-n-tape reserve continues to deliver the deepness with this ep from the netherlands junktion. although a relative upstart on the scene, junktion has been getting some serious heads nodding lately with releases on sleazy beats and outplay, and the hot & bothered ep continues to define his dusty and organic sound. from the summery ease of the title track, to the fresh take on the oft-sampled i m wishin to the discofied chugger fling cleaning followed by the slow-burning visions of you, this ep is a beautiful listen from beginning to end. and the kids are gonna dig it too.

after lotr005 had been deleted (sadly) we have an alternate version which we would like to introduce you too. same tracklisting, same fantastic sound, slight different edit!
