respuesta alternativa or the alternative response was the project of spanish musician jesus ma catalan, created with the help of julian c. perez. as the title implies the music was generated in response to traditional music notions of the time, and reflects how jesus ma catalan would challenge these traditional ideals using a fusion of styles and his unique vision. jesus laid out his synths and drum machines, while other musicians played traditional instruments over the top. this unique approach worked to create atmospheric tracks capturing simple themes, with each influence being carefully thought of in the joint result. as he explains each instrument weaves independently throughout a passage in a curious game where the listeners attention goes from focusing on a keyboard, guitar to bass or percussion. previously only released on a cassette album in spain, left ear have polished 5 choice cuts for a 2018 12inch.

a much welcomed reissue of the 1978 idris muhammad gem boogie to the top. released a year after, arguably, idris most well-known anthem, could heaven ever be like this the similarities in style and composition are clear. expertly produced, rich instrumentation, expansive drum fills, gospel tinged full-bodied vocals, all the while epic and life affirming in it s nature - what more could you want? young pulse steps up on the b-side, to add his own subtle touches and tweaks to the original. looping the guitar and echoing out the vocals whilst working in more of the synth lines. the addition of a crisp clap and extra percussion add an element more vibrancy into this mix, keeping the original feel intact whilst revitalising it for 2018.

emmanuel top has been releasing belter records ever since he first emerged in the early 90s. in recent times the paris based artist has done several heavy hitting singles with a number of respected labels. m10 is a special 2 track record that has two version of the sought after “festival suicide” record that popped up in many dj sets over the last year. while the closing night mix (a-side) is a gloomy, yet staggering work of low-down techno, the opening night mix (b-side) is a based on a soaring lead sound that serves as the back bone of this anticipated 12”.

vantanes >they called him little prince< is the first release of a newly established label from brixton called top brick records. the title track kicks off proceedings with a hypnotising piano sample soon accompanied by a preaching vocal and screeching synths. chez toi follows similar suit this time in the form of grey strings. add dusty highs, throbbing bass stabs and kooky synths you are left with a complete sense of mystery throughout the whole track. looking away ties up the mini ep nicely with trancey synths and twinkly atmospheres throughout creating a highly emotive sign out. dj support: laurent garnier, dj barely legal, danny tenaglia, krywald & farrer, pablo bolivar, phonogenic, dan drastic, john digweed, meat (freebase), j.phlip, martin landsky, kev obrien, ian o donovan, brett johnson, ossie, rob da bank dusky, iron curtis

while quite a few people are obviously still dwelling in the achievements of munich’s disco era during the 1980s, it seems that another major part of the cities partying scene travels to the same clubs every weekend. here they are getting fed with the plasticized tech house trax that everybody wants, drinking vodka red bull until they almost pass out and walk - if they are still able to - home happily, oversaturated by non-inventive, but good selling music. so far the cliché. fortunately, reality looks a bit different, at least for the lovers of uk bass. in order to make people aware of the city’s flourishing developments in this scene, the grandmasters of ruffhouse and jahmoni records have teamed up for a limited 10”.

one copy per customer! top cat is the next chapter in gene on earth s story. hurdling down a jet black road, the sun s rays bounce blindingly off the pavement when a chance encounter stops gene dead in his tracks. though it lasts only a second, not even long enough to say a word, he knows it s meaning. a sharp left turn is his only choice.

beginning in the early 90s, emmanuel top became france s first techno superstar, even if his popularity was greater in countries like germany and england than his own. he released a multitude of 12inches on the attack label la pipe a eau, krankenhaus, ecsta-deal, stress, turkish bazar, and many more many of which are compiled on the triple-disc release collection from 1995. top s next step took him to nova mute alongside heavyweights like plastikman. in addition to his solo work, top also collaborated with bruno sanchioni and bruno quartier in the mid to late 90s as the trance act b.b.e. (seven days and one week) and also as age of love (the original age of love).

le$ and dj mr. rogers dropped one of the hottest and most slept on tapes of the year so far back in may with midnight club. the 10 track tape has just one feature, domo genesis, the rest of the tape showcases le$’s lyrical ability and smooth flow, which sit perfectly over the beats. 45 south see le$ add his spin to childish gambino’s massive hit red bone. one of the chillest tapes to listen to this summer!

the northern wind blows hard around me the northern wind cuts me through my leg and bones i do not even know exactly why but i wish i could shout well like the wind, the fiery northern wind october closes his windows because the sky is getting cold and colder it s a nice beach in the morning light seems so deadly silent and i m getting lost here i do not know what i want but the wind that sounds to be heard because a violent storm is on life is an eternal game of pros and cons and the beautiful days come and go always like ebb and flood strange that i cannot explain what makes me so unexplainable when the wind starts to blow and the foam on the water wake up, awake

if osiris recent releases have signalled a change of pace, new artist the things they left behind represents the logical conclusion with this 12 inch comprised of two half-time, dubby tracks. the first, life through sepia, floats along to the ethereal backdrop of spoken word samples and distinctively melodic synths, the second, 68, sets a hazier and more abstract tone amidst on top of a sensual, rolling groove distant guitars ring as huge snares echo into the mist.

top tip for boards of canada fans! gorgeous isolation wrapped in electric memories. 8-track electronica for homesick time travelers. nothing left to abandon is a slow rendering of brooding introspections and imaginary spaces. memories, visions, eroded philosophies, tragedies in a few words. a childhood of livid skies, barren escarpments, homeless wastes. an absorbing contemplation of unlikely beauty and dusty melancholy that intersects with the creative territories of vangelis, boards of canada, klaus schulze, and ulrich schnauss, and the musings of joe frank and robert ashley. clocolan is south african-born composer emlyn ellis addison. a long formal training in music, his work centers on original writings and the found sounds of abandoned ideologies--generations of radicals and skeptics searching for meaning. from his childhood in south africa--a landscape of neglected hinterlands, eroded topology, unconquered vastness--emerged clocolan s homesick, lo-fidelity electronica, expansive themes lost in the background noise of human affairs.

hugo capablanca may be best known for his more disco-minded output from his time on gomma records, but increasingly his scattered output and his label have been reaching towards more abrasive material. nothing will prepare you for the confrontational nature of this daring, no label transmission. the artwork alone is enough to challenge the senses, while the opening track is a metallic drone that gives way to the distended mutant beats of top less. guy debord is no less cut throat in delivering a disco punish remix of lap dance on the b side, all deconstructed groove and guttural noise, and then dance less rounds the record off with another excursion into unsettling, heavily processed noise.

unbeatable deadly 5 tracker from emmanuel top on his new label. tipp d1!!!

nathan bartell grew up in a little town called ashburn, georgia but soon moved to atlanta georgia where he began to perform in the night clubs. in 1973 he released “top going down, bottom going up” on the soul-po-tion label. bartell remembers: “at the time i was having family problems. my wife didn’t want me and i was deep in love. i felt at that time that i was at the bottom of the pit and i wanted to rise up out of that mess because my wife made me feel that i was a nobody. i was not good enough for her - nobody wants you when you are down and out. she felt that she were on the top and i was on the bottom. this song was a message at that time.” there is nothing for us to add except that we are delighted to bring this little beauty back to new life.

new emmanuel top label. lost in berlin is a mechanical angry monster with multiple arms that swings around for destruction. it’s unstoppable for words, you have to accept the fact that you have been hit by a concrete wall. what i love in records is the menace inside it that builds up. the impossible energy that drags you in to this tunnel of a white dimension with grey electric colors. bipolaire: it all starts with a kick, not a simple kick but a et kick and before you know it you are struck by lightning. the subs are playing with you, simple but again with atomic temperature. the acid sound that hits you is never going to surrender his inferior temper. capture: only that words remind me of the spirit capture and it’s not easy make an equivalent of the original that is not even made with the inspiration of the mod wheel. it’s not just a wicked intro that can take you to different roads. you can decide what way you will take but be careful with what comes next.

back is the first single from cassys debut album, donna. co-produced by her soul brother king britt and comes complete with remixes from italojohnson & k mr top hat & art alfie

introducing felix leifur, dirt crews latest discovery, an all new, raw and savvy talent from reykjavik, iceland. reykjavik has a population of just over 120.000, so the disco, hip hop and soul sampling, house music community that felix rolls with is pretty tight knit, giving him a unique and inspired perspective on the sound. remixing is friend of the label, manchesters hidden spheres.

the three tracks travel in many different directions. speaking directly to all the dreamers, the result is a surprising cross-over in which synthesized european music gets injected by imaginary tropical visions. the record is opening with the inner mind percussive ambient « chekema », an animistic incantation that will please all those who see parties as modern ritual gatherings. the jazzy wave of « get enough » cracks open the b-side. it’s a foggy street jam in which the cold cr-68 rhythm balances perfectly with the warm organ chords of the crumar. closing things off is the spectral reggae song “love so high”, a desperate cry from a polar explorer stranded on an iceberg drifting towards the carribean. heartbreaking.

romina johnson is a vocalist that needs little introduction, known worldwide for her chart-smashing moving too fast single back in 2000, and now more notably for being part of the hugely successful disco group odyssey, her amazing songwriting & performing talents have taken her right to the dizzy heights of musics elite.
