keno trax sets the focus on simple and functional club tracks but without taking things too seriously. they don t use a lot of melodies here. all that matters is the beat. and there is plenty of that on the release from the two romanian producers and djs called gruuv elements

der rhythm & blues-fachjournalist lois wilson (mojo, record collector) hat für fantastic voyage tracks aus dem chess katalog aus den genres blues, r&b und rock n roll ausgewählt. die vinyl edition enthält 32 clubtaugliche stücke und einen farbigen einleger. mit dabei sind songs von muddy waters, chuck berry, howlin wolf, bo diddley, john lee hooker, u.v.a.

since richie hawtin played this track in his boiler room set on ibiza, many people have been asking about this joyce muniz collab. the track features fresh vocals by bam (formerly known as mc baby bam) from the legendary 90ies hip-hop group the jungle bothers (native tongues/zulu nation). the beat is based around a sample from kraftwerk s it s more fun to compute, and for this version we ve actually got full approval from kraftwerk (yes - guess what). so we re happy to release it now. hope you dig it too

lobster theremins white label series is inaugurated by the labels formidable golden boy palms trax. rising from the vintage grooves of his equation ep, this time round palms is on much more raucous form. whether it be the hyper-resonated darkness of forever, the hammer-stomping raw jam or summer electro tip lost control. galcher lustwerk on the remix too. this is serious stuff!

as liron himself says:>realitivity is my road to finding a new and fresh sound. a sound for which i found a lot of inspiration in my personal musical history of deejaying and buying records over the last 20 years. the album is just as much a journey, as it is a destination from which to move on to the next one, as i look to develop my music whilst not repeating myself.<

g. is back with second double pack

der französische elektroniker m83 schrieb den soundtrack zu -you and the night- (-les recontres d apres minuit-), dem ersten spielfilm seines bruders yann gonzalez, der 2013 in cannes seine premiere feierte. musikalisch weicht m83 von seinem bekannten sound als künstler ab, und orientiert sich für den score an der intimität französischer filmmusik der 1970 er. Ähnlich wie beim soundtrack für - oblivion - ist auch hier wieder die norwegische sängerin susanne sundfor mit von der partie.

its time for local talk to go local again with another swedish producer, eric ericsson. with numerous releases out in labels like planet e, fragile and freerange he is one of those producers with one foot in the techno scene and another in the more soulful house scene. basically, he is not a one trick pony! for his release on local talk we would say he lands somewhere between classic chi-town house and thumping nyc house groove but without sounding too retro or washed out. its simply real house music!

title track don t stop is a loose and playful thing that chucks loopy, circular drums, little vocal riffs, synth stabs and tumbling toms into the mix and lets them all groove along for almost six infectious minutes. its a spritely, silvery and slithering concoction that makes you shake your every limb. stare is a deeper, darker thing with rattling snares rolling over flappy kick drums and wobbling synths ducking in and out of the space left behind. its a tumultuous, drum lead affair that toys with your expectation, threatening to drop or explode but never quite doing so, instead keeping you right on the edge of your seat throughout. the final offering is nian which again has super well defined drums and hits all tumbling and sparking off each other. it s spacious stuff, too, and the indecipherable foreign language vocals add another layer of intrigue to what is already a fascinating cut.

acid house ep with versions of acid acid anthems and a sweet melancholic number too.

weve complied two blackman and maurice joshua productions for the fourth house of trax 12inch. its a bit of a dirty one... to say the least. althought more polictically incorrect then a dutch politician, these humourous trax will set fire to the speakers for the right reasons too. the little known blackman had a 1993 release with >beat that bitch with a bat<, a song which later got popularized by johnny dangerous. the original 12inch got pressed up in small quantities and is available for the first time in 17 years. on the flip theres both the vocal and instrumental version of maurice joshuas (with hot hula hands) >i got a big dick<, which originally came out in 1988, as the a-side of his more known >this is acid<. both tracks are pretty rare these days and will still go down a storm on the dancefloor.

2020vision celebrates its 20th anniversary in style this year. as ever, the uk label will do things differently – no dwelling on times past and no back catalogue rehash. instead, 2020vision will release content, a compilation mixed by ralph lawson featuring 20 exclusive new original tracks and remixes from a dizzying array of arch collaborators. this album will be augmented by a series of parties across the planet

dj oslek continues his mission compiling frijsfo s special vinyl series, equipping you with the most vinyl-deserving of their substantial 2step arsenal. this time the music is from an allstar cast of uk producers. you can call it uk garage music ...

what can we say about redondo they delivered the huge track, love too deep, earlier this year... so this new ep is just another hot hot wax!

i d been thinking about starting a label for a few years but it never really seemed like it could work. nowadays there is more coherence in my productions it seems like the right time. i will be releasing music from other artists as well my own stuff - underground house, techno and the rest, stuff with darkness and sexiness. hopefully it is music that will speak to (somebodys) heart as well as their feet. the first release is called no splice no playback and it is two tracks of house music. vinny (flamingo) is a basement thing, suckle (twenties) works in warehouses too. thanks for reading. -mosca

it is the first single he has released on a label besides 100% silk, the home of his two full-lengths and three eps. this shift is embodied in the tracks, too, as octo octa sharpens his effervescent sound to a harder, more floor-focused edge.

as a precursor to kabale und liebes debut album, soweso records releases the sammy hoboken ep in april as a teaser of whats to come. almost 20 years ago, liron van daalen was inspired to become a dj after his cousin explained that the mixtapes liron adored were created by one person seamlessly mixing one record into another. that revelation set off a chain of events that has seen him adopt the alias kabale und liebe and rise up to become one of hollands most exciting and reputable electronic music artists.

bedlam isrc – asylum limbo, psychotic sock draw and raving halfway-house ... some truths – man as samovar, staunch somnambulist, man as memory…aural yves klein seas sluiced from a flotilla of ohm-loan bugbrand & electro-harmonix vessels ... a sound accrued by loitering long at skipjack tables & tape duplicating plants ... the joyous melancholy seeping from this lps patched folk o ertones has been a reassuring cloak for me since its porous ones & twos dripped into the mm inbox. an album you can wear whose universal backstory is told deftly via these gilt-edged electronic daubs without sugar-coating – there is none of this soundtrack to a film yet to be made clotting up the ear canals…a basking shark of an album that gently filters the ill from the krill. some truths are bigger than others.

kiwanuka, a 25 year-old uk native of ugandan heritage, was raised in north london where he split his time between session work and local gigs. along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to communion records, then polydor, and has since performed throughout europe and north america too touring in direct support of adele. he made his way through nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. the a-side *you ve got nothing to lose* is an original composition, featuring the buzzards dominic davis on upright bass and cory younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer lillie mae rische on fiddle. their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous blue series. the single also features a chilling rendition of townes van zandts infamous *waitin round to die* on the b-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the a-side.

exzellente remix-ep zum aktuellen daniel bortz debütalbum -patchwork memories- mit bearbeitungen von acid pauli & nu, den tuff city kids gerd janson & phillip lauer, bostro pesopeo von permanent vacation sowie einer eigenen daniel bortz club version.

with its hq in rural germany - rockets & ponies is a coterie for the outsiders - those too strange for the normal business with an ethos that fosters freedom of expression, experimentation and an avant-garde approach. so who better to present a remix package of works by jazz luminary wolfgang haffner that includes ricardo villalobos & max loderbauer, nightmares on wax, and label padrone timo maas.

this is the first full-ep from denmarks erosion flow aka henrik koefed having made his first appearance on wax at the end of 2013 with his his spaced-out edit of nexts too close. this record, manmakemusics first release of 2014, pitches the breadth of koefods sound-running swinging, gritty house against grime-infused 4/4 and off beat electronica. this ep shows the damage that erosion flow can do!

good recordbag with a good price. look for different nice colors too. for round about 20x 12 inch vinyls

limited edition red vinyl pressing.
excellent 2x12 with outstanding versatile stuff, just music - too hard to categorise.

steve murphy joins the lobster theremin stable with a roaring and varied ep. the a-side plunges a big room sensibility with eyes behind the door and relax both rolling on the back of techno-driven house music. the flip sees trams electro-tinged wave drops and try it, possibly murphys deepest track to date. two bumper techno locked grooves too for good measure!

three eps on im a cliche from 2012 and a bunch of eps, tracks, remixes and edits on international imprints such as correspondant, relish, days of being wild, throne of blood, kill the dj and more, made red axes gain respect throughout all the cold-ravers community.

roman rauch joins ike - something beautiful doesnt beg for attention. thanks for purchasing a real copy!

heavily influenced by moodymann and andres, new home taping artist simba produces music that is full of soulful echoes, while still dripping in raw house music vibes. quality house music for the believers out there. nothing is too straight in the simba sound as fx drift around and subtle production touches come at you from all angles. vinyl hiss is as important as the kick drum and the overall atmosphere has that classic house music quality that can transport you instantly to another place. the black madonna was the one who drew attention to the rising talents of this young producer. so fittingly she delivers her own lost in chicago take on the original, which delights in the tracks edginess and the wonderful release of the main hooks

home invasion is the new label from real tone man franck roger, a man whose career has scaled the full depths of house music over the past decade or so. evidently seeking a new challenge, the parisian s new imprint promises to adhere to a vehemently underground way of working, with every ep upfront released on vinyl-only terms and produced exclusively on analogue equipment. ogers re-tracing of his roots pays dividends too, and whats most striking about the labels debut outing, the simply-titled home invasion 02 ep, is how very different it sounds to vintage real tone planes. gone are the whimsical, celestial deep house hues so favoured by the latter, and in there place is a series of cuts that expertly toe the line between house and techno without resorting to generic soundscapes

david k represents something thats all too rare in electronic music today: an artist who makes music first and club music second. for him, emotion is paramount, melody is important, the pop format has its perks and original material is always better than a sample. late at night and early in the morning he dances alone in his studio, tapping away on his keyboards and throwing together arrangements on the fly (a pianist by training, he cant bear to make music slouched over a mouse). his only goal is to make something that will keep himself dancing.

dream states of lust and lucidity, slow to speaks latest reissue of house musics halcyon years comes courtesy of mood ii swings visionary lem springsteen. originally released on the eightball sublabel empire state records in 1994, these excursionary landmarks saw springsteen bid farewell to his usual club-saturated exercises in queeny house euphoria for a hallucinatory breach into a secret realm of desire, where the whispers of a long-forgotten hunger meld with the floating synth-work of a true practitioner of the sacred art of club music. this is the soundtrack to the chill-out room of your unconsciouss kaleidoscopic sex dream, the sweet synth lines of springsteens ritual music still floating in your mind as you awake, alas, a little too soon. fear not: this dyonisian masterpiece is once more available thanks to the good spirits at dope jams, who remind you, *whatever the eye sees and covets, let the hand grasp!* not without asking (or paying) first, of course.

geschmeidig faedelt madmotormiquel seine audiospuren durch genres und stilistische andeutungen. dabei gelingt es ihm, das scheinbar gegensaetzliche zu harmonischer stimmigkeit zu vertwisten. etwa hip hop und gradlinige tanzmusik. für den titel daddy are you proud verteilt der berliner produzent jazzige piano-samples und poetischen rap zwischen wummerndem bass und treibenden hi hats. mollono.bass setzt die stimme des originals nur sparsam ein, angelt sich für seinen remix die hintergruendigen synthesizer-akkorde und lotet ihre melodioese tiefe aus.. sie erweist sich als verdammt groß. im zwielicht hypnotischer flaechengebilde zeichnet sich mit minimaler und doch extrem schwungvoller rhythmik ein klangbild namens recall ab, und im spiel zwischen trippigem beat-gefrickel und verträumtem klavier-geklimper entsteht die dynamische ironie von too much money not enough style. eingaengige grooves aus faszinierenden zwischenwelten!

sold out ! the truly orginal queen of pop gets a vinyl release for her recent chart topping album artpop

limited edition, hand stamped inclduing a unique print. time to welcome kresy to the label with three original tracks of immaculate left of centre house. with only a clutch of releases his name may be new to many but if you dig deeper youll find hes definitely moving the right circles. his debut release on john talabot’s hivern discs gave some broad exposure, picking up spins from the likes of four tets keiren hebden, jenifer cardini and nick hoppner. remix requests followed too with releases on exquisite pain, southern fried and lovemonk all getting the kresy treatment.

the space lady began her odyssey on the streets of san francisco in the late 70s, playing versions of contemporary pop music an accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and harmony. following the theft of her accordion, the space lady invested in a then-new casio keyboard, birthing an otherworldly new dimension to popular song that has captured the imaginations of the underground and its lead exponents ever since, with the likes of john maus, erol alkan and kutmah being devotees.

dungeon meat is the new label and production outfit brought to you by dungeon masters brawther and tristan da cunha. packing a serious punch, its aim is to present tracks designed specifically to rock the party and shake the sound system. originally conceived as a platform for their own musical visions it soon became apparent that they would have to open the doors to a select few who shared their ambition to make no messing, hard hitting house grooves. one of these artists is the mysterious blunt instruments who has the honour of kicking off the label. after road testing his huge club hammer hold back brawther and da cunha knew it had to be on dungeon meat as it epitomised exactly the sound they wanted to present. hold back has been a firm fixture in their sets and even got cut to dubplate by jeremy underground paris. its not all about the a-side though as blunt instruments craft 2 other killer club cuts for the flip side we wont go on too much trying to describe how good this ep is ... instead well let the music do the talking

optimo trax is an offshoot label of optimo music for tracks aimed at djs/dancefloors. yes, we know there are too many record labels already, but we felt an overriding desire to start another one as so much music that didnt seem quite right for optimo music (i.e. music that was specifically designed for dancing) kept coming our way. like the parent label, optimo trax will release music by new artists and excavate forgotten classics.

robosonic has been a pivotal part of off recordings roster, their releases being highly expected every time and usually meaning instant dancefloor melting magic. with a hip hop and techno background and adding many frequent flyer miles with worldwide gig schedule, the pair shows no sign of stopping. this time is no exception, cord and sacha get back in their creative roll of sample wizardry to provide two mouth watering jams. they once again prove their love for organic sounds and reivindicate the use of the turntable as an instrument, adding that old-school vibe to their trademark beats. macho madness is quite a trip, sweet rhodes over a bouncy bassline, great sample work adding guitars and an insane speech. as always, breakdowns are intense and its impossible not to dance to the groove!for the second track, robosonic joins another off family team, mat.joe and together they go deep into their hip hop influences again working the samples as only they could, a little disco flavor, a driving bass...all the ingredients are there for another instant classic and a respectful shout out to detroit producer legend j dilla, who left the game too early. r.i.p!

one of our specialties at jazzman is focusing in on the obscure and often previously slept on regional based sounds across america. this time our radar was honing in on state of virginia and its norfolk sound. many celebrated musicians have contributed to the norfolk sound, but lenis guess was probably the most active, prolific and influential showman of the soulful 60s and 70s. this collection of unique recordings captures the essence of the multi-talented entertainer, singer, songwriter, producer, arranger, band manager and label owner a calm, cool and collected quintessential music man about town.

nachpressung des album-klassikers von 1984! produziert von prince jammy mit der hi-times band und deren bandleader earl chinna smith im channel one studio, am mischpult saß als toningenieur soldgie hamilton. mit half pints größten hits: mr landlord, puchie lou, you lick me first, one big ghetto.half pint (buergerlich lindon roberts) wurde in 1983 schlagartig bekannt, als er den song winsome veroeffentlichte, der von den rolling stones als too rude gecovert wurde.
