crimes of the future is the kind of label you can trust, no matter who is at the controls. the same could be said for giallo disco, and certainly the two labels orbit a similar space for lurid soundtrack-inspired hardware jams from the italo age. vercetti technicolor is one half of the giallo team alongside antoni maiovvi, and here steps out with a perfectly bombastic range of compositions that revel in b-movie brilliance. -golden taurus- is the perfect slow-burner, those mono bass notes warming like no soft synth ever could, while -topaz fear- brings a more action-driven sequence into the mix. -death wish- too opts for a pumped up club scenario, while heinrich dressel smokes out -golden taurus- into a seedy slow-jam.

yet more italians on optimo trax! jose manuel delivers 4 unique exotic, fourth world, tribal slabs of ritual music. a1, the great beast in outer space is actually an andrew liles track that jose has completely reworked and sprinkled his magick on. mr. liles is one of my favourite producers in the world, both for his solo work and for his input into my all time heroes nurse with wound. for those who know his work, having something by him that will work on a dancefloor may bring a smile to your face. thankfully i know him a bit and he was more than happy to grant permission for this to be released. a2, folklore is fourth world exotica reimagined for late night dance rites. aa1, ritual, is exactly what the title says it is. aa2, sisi leaves the dance floor completely and even though optimo trax is 100% aimed at djs, was simply too lovely to leave off.

jimi jules has a small but perfectly formed discography. equinox on zukunft is his debut album, and sees him successfully expand his musical repertoire beyond the club-ready deep house he s known for. thanks to the use of musicians - drummers, guitarists and such-like - there s a loose, warm and quietly soulful feel throughout.

going back to classics could fall so easily, luckily for skudge presents, the persistent and class-act of mark broom leaves the mediocre in its rubble. eric cloutier: broom is a legend. i can t even count how many of his records i own. both of these are pure fire loving it! the kicking a-side, moments1, with the high paced energy and flirtations with the dutch classic style of techno-house crossover brings a smile upon djs and dancers alike - without going too much into nostalgia, this track is sure to find its way through the peak times. moments2 on the flip submerges deeper into this records vibe, with a progression that throbs more than kicks, with a saw tooth lead that keeps the moody atmosphere intact. a sure-shot 2 tracker is what we need and what we get

nice price deal !!! bombis records comes out of hibernation (we mean only from the winter months) to shake off your cobwebs and get the heat back into you on the dancefloor with 2 special cuts.(yes dave watched that film too many times and got carried away before you ask) we invite the one and only mr jamie jones for the remix, and boy what a cracking piece of work and a real pleasure to have involved on the label.

the turbo debut from gilmer galibard is a collection of four dark, visceral techno floor-destroyers from a young canary islands-based producer about whom we know relatively little. it also marks the labels first release to feature a swear in the title, offering a foreboding glimpse of the paranoid machine-driven warehouse terror contained within. by now you will have heard the demo in its entirety and are still dancing whether you want to or not. for my purposes, you will use the search engine optimization terms dark, visceral, techno, floor-destroyers and paranoid machine-driven warehouse terror to ensure that it finds its way to the 83 people who need to hear the release through this specific channel. you may tell people i am 26 years old and from the canary islands both facts are true and sound comforting enough but as you now know this does not matter. print this in its entirety and leave the release title unchanged. i would say ive said too much but that is impossible because as youve come to understand all of this has already happened.

label founder and owner of how to kill detroit, the friend gives his fresh release from tokyo s underground label doddadsee. this vinyl includes tracks with his very own unique style sludge

the music fell into the lap of wt records and it seemed only natural to release this 2 part big room art piece. moon temple is gabriel andruzzi. you may know him as the bass player/sax guy/engineer of a well known defunct nyc band. this well polished piece contains 9 tracks of delicate interludes, big room acid stompers, and weirdo spastic mechanical marches. there is no way to know if this release will end up in a big room, a sweaty basement, or a museum. not only does it sound good but there is a visual aspect too. both 12inches (pressed on 45) are packaged in beautiful silver foil op art by moscows art crime.

those who preordered, do not have to do so again, we will contact you when we have stock! the music fell into the lap of wt records and it seemed only natural to release this 2 part big room art piece. moon temple is gabriel andruzzi. you may know him as the bass player/sax guy/engineer of a well known defunct nyc band. this well polished piece contains 9 tracks of delicate interludes, big room acid stompers, and weirdo spastic mechanical marches. there is no way to know if this release will end up in a big room, a sweaty basement, or a museum. not only does it sound good but there is a visual aspect too. both 12inchs (pressed on 45) are packaged in beautiful silver foil op art by moscows art crime.

deep88 is back! here is a 7 track lp, music without any pretence, no silly fx or crazy compression/production tricks to take away from the music. just that 1988/1993 vibe with a slight balearic twist but some how avoiding to sound like a poor copy or dated. this last statement couldnt be any truer on this release. the vibe is carried through the whole ep with each consequent track then offering something a little bit different, some showing his balearic side and other tracks having a more house feel.

the label say sounding like a comedown-classic which is way too funky to be an ambient record and has the power to cut as deep as any decent delta blues album.. we like it here. tip!

being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, the orb are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over. it s especially jarring as the duo of accomplished soundsmiths alex paterson and thomas fehlmann has become known for its genre-bending curiosity and surprising sonic detours, exploring experimental soundscapes as well as club-friendly beats. the funny thing is, though, that whatever the context, you know a track from the orb when you hear it. case in point: cow / chill out, world!, their latest full-length offering - a masterful ambient album that branches out in many directions, but unmistakably sounds like the orb in either ear (and probably to your third ear, too).

the 1964 bob dylan classic back on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl.

a collection of 22 songs from elvis presley, all recorded in 1956. collectors edition 180 gram heavyweight vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

this mini-album marks a shift in emphasis for lustwerk music, with boss galcher lustwerk choosing to showcase the work of another producer for the first time. he s apparently been nurturing florida-based quavius for some time, encouraging the young producer to -experiment more- while following his instincts. it seems to have worked, because the majority of music on this debut release is top notch. it covers a lot of ground, with the a-side alone moving between r&b-inspired hip-house (-love the way-), hip-hop (-magic man-), woozy electronica (-r n v-) and spacey deep house (-composure-). there s naturally plenty more to enjoy on the flipside, too, from the old school deep hip-hop bump of -m 320-, to the crunk-tinged, cut-up goodness of closer -can i be-.

the women break vases against the walls
and the men drink too much,
crawling in and out of beds.
alone with everybody,
we are all trapped.

her beauty too radiant to be beheld. stark and striking, at once an object of desire and lust. carved by the hand of a king, brought to life by the gods, hers is a story now captured in modern day ivory, vinyl. her image, one that embodies earth and heaven, now marries two worlds, eastern atmospherics and western aromatics. like the first glimpse of the fabled temptress, these first sounds of galatea will never to be forgotten.

recorded in one take after a trip to the zoo last autumn, here is the first new track from the undisputed king of home-disco. superstar. check that b-side too. home recorded vocals straight from the heart, with the brooding braindance synths. tip for the boombox crew! limited edition. as hypnotic and floor-shaking as ever, keep on rocking keeps you on your toes through twists and turns, focused on a central mantra, it is what jamie principle s fathers lullaby might have sounded if had tried to put his son to sleep with his best impression of michael jackson and leroy burgess. the b-side is a powerhouse reimagining turned to a delightful 11 from the mysterious dj im sorry.

moscoman arrived at the esp institute last year with a fistful of killer tracks and an imitable recipe for hummous, since then we’ve seen his debut with the dancefloor bomb ‘akachi’ and a collaborative follow-up release with long-time cohorts red axes. we’re now excited to enter a new chapter with moscoman’s debut full-length album ‘a shot in the light’. this creative outpouring spans years of musical trials and tribulations, finally coming full circle to tell the story of an artist leaving his home in tel aviv to pursue his passions in the electronic mecca of berlin and beyond. moscoman’s unique approach evolves and devolves over the course of eight songs, enduring highs and lows yet never resting for too long in one place—thus illustrating his personal metamorphosis as well as his acute skill of giving many voices to one wild imagination. this music is deliberate, almost cheeky with a youthful sense of optimism running throughout, and even in its most aggressive moment there is always an element of hope.

the intensity of neznan his personality and talent made us decide to go all the way for this release. his story is remarkable and feels like a paradox. his musical ability is full of details and his creativity is a perfect match with float. if you take your time to understand his visions and incomprehensible ideas we’re sure you will love this piece of art as much as we do.
way too many words will get spilled if we’re going to describe every single track. the tracks are filled with the tiniest details without them ever sounding complex. his love for the oldskool elements and techniques blends well with his forward thinking approach. above this all we have a splendid jeroen search remix.
two additional tips to enjoy the vinyl release to the fullest.
1: place the vinyl on your deck, press start and watch magic happen when you look into the silver pin.
2: are the locked grooves sounding weird? no, you re wrong. neznan decided he wanted the 45rpm locked grooves on a 33rpm vinyl.

auf departed glories gelingt dem norwegischen electronic-produzenten und ambient-guru geir jenssen alias biosphere eine eindringliche klangatmosphäre, die mit worten nicht zu erklären ist. die entrückten tracks erhalten ihre kontur durch den hintergrund, vor dem das album entstanden ist. das bild des covers ist vor mehr als hundert jahren von dem russischen fotografen sergei prokudin-gorsky, einem pionier der farbfotografie, aufgenommen worden. es zeigt eine armenische frau in einer landschaft, die heute zur türkei gehört. the crystal clear yet haunting atmosphere fascinated me, erklärt biosphere, was ausschlaggebend für die atmosphäre des albums war. hinzu kommt seine recherche während eines aufenthalts in polen, krakau: das psychologische trauma der mittelalterlichen königin bronislawa, die sich mit ein paar nonnen in den bäumen vor den tataren versteckte, bildet die inspirierende grundlage von departed glories. diese elemente und die hinzunahme einiger klangschnipsel ukrainischer und polnischer volksmusik formen den gespenstischen, in mark und bein übergehenden charakter des werkes.

tale of 2 cities (or t.o.2.c for short) is the culmination of what was just a whim of an idea from label owners mike & justin. it s the first of its kind for us & anyone who knows anything about kolour ltd should know that we shall leave no stone un-turned on a release of this magnitude. this 14 track, 3x12 vinyl compilation is a smooth journey throughout the realms of deep house, mid-tempo grooves, funk/soul, with an edit (or two) for good measure. disc 1 features the incomparable talents of jimpster (under his franc spangler alias), admin, ugly drums & lady blacktronika, henry wu, and the hue ft. kissy asplund. disc 2 features the fouk boys, frank booker, vincenzo de bull & halve soul, & inkswel. disc 3 features the talents of eddie c, napoleon, sleazy mcqueen & vinyladdicted, patchworks, and leblanc. 3 x lp in a trifold sleeve & poster.

quintessentials is very happy to present their 50th release! to celebrate this, we invited some buddies to bring the deep beats. and damn they did! mat chiavaroli, one of your main artists who is getting stronger and stronger, opens this jubilee release with upbuilding powerful tune, just the tune the get quintessentials 50 started! great to see profilic dutch producer nachtbraker (heist, quartet series) on the label too. we love his style and he will soon be as popular as ajax amsterdam! his subtle and dirty “bronco” fits in perfectly. the definitive club tune that grooves and grooves and grooves comes from ponty mython (dirt crew). alexandr is a cool guy and this is defo a cool tune. last but not least is soul of hex (freerange, vicario). our mexican friend is going very raw this time. yes, why not call it electronic body music (remember?)! as we are gentlemen, we added a quintessentials sticker in the vinyl edition. go and get it!

(12inch vinyl individually hand stamped center labels, and front cover) the music evokes a strong imagery using unusual melodies, organic sound sources and the relentless support of hypnotic grooves.

finally, sound of vasts first release in 2016. good news for many people as it the initial release of highe- sold way too fast. there s been some a huge deman for us to bring it back so we decided to repress it again, this time with a twist. soichi terada remix!

ltd 50 % deal, o.xander is back on nous for another jaunt into textured techno rhythms all sewn together with a cheeky side eye on diverting off the obvious path and sustaining a reticence for anything too formal.ep opener snowspeeder blues is a glacial skitter around pitch perfect retro-techno territories, while thru our veins harnesses the eternal power of acid and a perfect balance takes a wry slo-mo lens to the synth-core sound.over on side b we are back in the acid zone for full spectrum, if a more mournful and disquieting rendition of that genre, with the junipers dub version squirming through a gauzy terra firma of dim lit detroit design.

the ninth ep from the magic waves label comes courtesy of the enigmatic and mysterious voiceover woman. we are given four tracks of modern electro-psychedelic wizardry that will surely melt your mind, as well as any dancefloor it comes into contact with. opening the record is ‘input sensitive’, and we’re plunged into a world of swirling synthesiser emotions from the start, tripping hard into ‘mega gift’, a monster of a track that not only shifts the speed up a gear or three but funks it out in spaced-up futuristic ways too. side b brings us ‘total rotation plug-on’ and takes us deeper into lush aphexian dreamscape dimensions before the whirlwind climax of the record, the closing stormer ‘convolvo’, expanding any mind it’s aurally connected to at an exhilarating rate. it’s a record that leaves you mentally and physically breathless, and is not one to miss. comes in limited quantities, and vinyl is coloured!

feel international = international feel. its brand new good for you. juan marco make music for daydreamers. they are new too. love love x.

fuckthegovernment.ltd, a.k.a. f.t.g (alfredo trastulli) and music box head honcho, marco riff, return to the skylax fold in 2016 with a cache of house nuggets for our listening pleasure. their last venture on skylax saw f.t.g collaborate with a bunch of his friends, resulting in some of the best tracks we’d heard all year, including the unforgettable fuckthegovernment theme. their tracks have been celebrated and hailed by some of the best djs in the game, names such as derrick may, ricardo villalobos, raresh, and dj harvey. the bar set by the first record remains sky high, and somehow, these two manage to raise the bar even higher. it may be the biggest cliche going when talking about an album, but the duo certainly do take us on a journey, through the past and present of house music. it’s a record not too dissimilar in tone to paranoid london’s from a few years back, but f.t.g and marco strip things back even further than those guys did, in our opinion, the sound is more raw with less frills, and no track names to predispose feelings in the listener either. this eight track project is cohesive and elaborate, with movements through sounds both acid and jazzy, minimal and maximal. it explores sounds that came to prominence in famous house locales such as detroit and chicago over in the u.s., but the underground european influence is definitely present, from paris to berlin, and of course f.t.g and marco’s home of italy. with this album, these guys add to the underground sound that has cultivated in the city of perugia for years now, a place that has seen the likes of simoncino and nicholas hone their craft.don’t miss out on a piece of skylax history

deko deko are lena seik and tristan schulze, based in leipzig, germany. the duo creates their music by computer, synthesizer and vocals. conventional song structures are fractured and deconstructed to be reconstructed and defragmented in the end. that might sound experimental but deko deko write hymns with orchestral parts and mad choirs, but always electronical too. neustadt is the first album of the band, to be released on o*rs in september 2016

rome native marco piovesan is a dj’s producer. his driving style, pristine sound quality and nuanced tones makes his techno of the variety that draws bodies to the dance floor, and keeps them there. 2013 was his breakout year which saw releases land on gynoid audio, m_rec ltd.. that same year piovesan launched his own enterprise, h.omevvork recordings, as a haven for richly emotive techno music imbued in ‘90s spirit. to date it’s three ep’s have been remixed by luminaries such as giorgio gigli, daub and m_rec ltd’s sadly departed chief max_m. piovesan joined the key roster soon after as part of a split ep with another (then) up-and-comer, hector oaks. his two works, “black paranoid 7” and “black paranoid 10”, were clean, steely dj fodder underscored with a dark energy that made both of them potent club weapons. now piovesan returns with four cuts of surging, remorseless marching material design to tear up strobe-lit basements and big room halls alike. for djs who take no prisoners, who enjoy calling on the old techno ghosts too.

repress 2016 ...1 split release from the black market archives with tracks by larry heard and the it (with a main role for larry heard too). 2 amazing tracks which actually 20-25 years later still sounds more futuristic as many releases nowadays. spaced out jazzy keys on the mind blowing black oceans with trademark larry heard melodies. flip side takes things to the darker chicago jack territories with the great endless flight track by the it (also known for classic tracks such as donnie and gallimaufry gallery ). this is one of their overlooked and more obscure tracks! worthy re-issue on one of uks coolest house labels. tip!

moscoman arrived at the esp institute last year with a fistful of killer tracks and an imitable recipe for hummous, since then we’ve seen his debut with the dancefloor bomb akachi and a collaborative follow-up release with long-time cohorts red axes. we’re now excited to enter a new chapter with moscoman’s debut full-length album a shot in the light. this creative outpouring spans years of musical trials and tribulations, finally coming full circle to tell the story of an artist leaving his home in tel aviv to pursue his passions in the electronic mecca of berlin and beyond. moscomans unique approach evolves and devolves over the course of eight songs, enduring highs and lows yet never resting for too long in one place, thus illustrating his personal metamorphosis as well as his acute skill of giving many voices to one wild imagination. mexican cola bottle baby is our lead single, an optimistic dancefloor-filler that rides a disco rhythm, full of odd-ball percussion, over a swollen house bassline as we’re lead through clusters of synthesized mating calls via infectious melodic whistling. if there is a tune that sums up our idea of summer, bright as a cloudless day yet thick as a tropical heat, and is as wacky as we are here, then this is it.

a negative hallucination is an idea that was first put forward by sigmund freud in 1890. he used the term to describe how a hypnotised person could be led to be unable to see a person or thing that was right in front of them once out of the hypnotised state, creating a gap in their reality. sadly, this gap in reality seems endemic in the minds of many in the world, whether from lack of access to facts or from wilful ignorance. the result is the same regardless: a world where many oppressed peoples reality is edited out of the conversation. noleian reusse (half of africans with mainframes) and thomas cox (one third of pittsburgh track authority) got together in the studio in pittsburgh during a week of extreme social unrest in the usa in late 2015, resulting in these recordings. the tracks are crafted with a stripped back electronic funk and a stark, relentless feel that reflects the energy in the air at the time. as long time fans of politically and socially charged music like public enemy, underground resistance, nwa, dopplereffekt, and gil scott-heron, noleian and thomas have taken these influences and mixed them with their own styles to come up with a modern dancefloor version of those ideals. lead track solidarity fills the whole a side with its optimism. soulful melodies and strings conquer the driving rhythms, bringing a sense that through sticking together, a better future is possible. the b side s perspective is darker. police state is a crazy raved out banger that combines gritty acid and harsh tones that channel the day-to-day existence for far too many urban people. the third and final cut, surveillance, is a paranoid, spacey techno track that would be ideal as a soundtrack for closed-circuit television video reels. this snapshot of urban life is tied together through artwork by andrew burger, whose mix of throwback style and current ideas nails the dystopian existence that is now reality as predicted so long ago by orwell, huxley, lucas, and many more.

great v/a selection, just listen ...

we’re getting almost regular here with our releases so maybe it’s about time to put a section in your shop for our label? maybe it’s a bit premature to start demanding things out of you...what do we know. so it’s time to hit you with number 6 and this one certainly smells like summer. split secs are a los angeles based duo made of some serious local mainstays travis kirschbaum and alexandre mouracade (aka sonns). they’ve put out a bunch of great records over the years on kompakt, jolly jams, throne of blood. they happen to also be behind the machine limited imprint too. impressed yet?

after years of releasing quality house eps, brighton based black key records scores something of a coop: its first full length is a sixth album from tom ellis, a core member and resident of the esteemed freerotation festival who is already well known to those in the know. his beautifully titled, eight track lp from the cabin above the clouds is due on april 4th and comes ahead of him launching his own new label.

nice price deal !!! back with a pumping house affair! francesco de bellis is back on pigna after some of the best finalfrontiers releases ever. his >music business< album on nature and the classic >fregna the age< on pigna, have been on heavy rotation on most of the techno house djs in the last years. this new release is a two tracks affair, a very strong house & disco oriented tool which we think will confirm his cool reputation in the dance scene

andrzej nowak is a polish early computer music composer who never found proper place in official contemporary music world. tracks produced between 1987 and 1994 as a score for never screened animation movies (the producer didn’t like them). lines of simple sounds, interrupted by primitive electronic trumpet and other fake instruments. are you sure it’s a film score? what was the thing that producer didn’t like? weird harmonies or too much rhythm?
