it is no exaggeration to say that ultrastretch has accumulated an array of outstanding releases and artists since its creation in 2011. one knows that being as renown a representative of the underground music scene as sammy dee is, he can easily sign music from any established artist he would like, the so called ‘big names’, however, when we look at the past seven releases on ultrastretch, the agenda here seems to be another. what has become an apparent and admirable feature of this label/platform and of sammy dee himself is his clear support for new music from young and yet to be discovered talents. it is on that note that ultrastretch 08 brings you romanian artist crihan. hailing from a small town close to cluj, alin crihan moved to bucharest in 2009 to be more in touch with the underground scene and music in the capital as it poses more opportunities for him to grow and develop. from dj’ing in the most various clubs in his home country, his first steps into western europe as a dj came earlier last year at no less than the legendary robert johnson club alongside petre inspirescu in frankfurt. producing under his real name for the past four years, crihan’s release for ultrastretch brings two tracks, setting the listener into two very distinctive paths. the a side, * uelden* is a dance floor oriented track. the first words to come to mind are groove and rhythm, giving the track a somewhat funky feeling overall. the elements have been crafted carefully and therefore appropriately placed just where and when you need them. by simply starting the track with a bass line and shuffling hihats he slowly develops to a journey that not onlyventures further into groove and rhythm but also in mind grabbing harmonies with deep/airy sounding pads giving it a comforting sense of beauty and obscurity. the b side is called a doua dimensiune, literally translated from romanian it means the second dimension. doing justice to the title the track does generate the feeling of being in another dimension. it is a very deep affair into mind-altering soundscapes, very atmospheric and at times dark and obscure. attention to detail is apparent judging by the overlayering of elements featured in this track. a constant rolling base formed of water tapping ambient sounds give way to harmonies made up of strings and random noises on top.

with -me and i- and -don t make me- he dropped 2 nice mellow - moody, percussive tracks that have a light deep dark touch - perfect for hot summer nights m.in takes the original track and simply doesn t gives a fuck if its 30° in the shade - his rmx is a highhat driven oldschool peaktime track that makes you sweat your ass off on the dancefloor. own.way takes a closer look an the original textures and brings his remix in a dry, more groovy package

second release for black angus records. dj soch s trip continues into the pulsing heart of house music. after the first release which explored the original forms of the sound of chicago, with this release he moves towards another declared love: 90 s new york underground house. everything is brought together by his original, personal touch and careful ear to the freshest sounds of our times. -street groove- is definitely influenced by the tracky sounds of the earliest masters at work, the most inspired todd terry and the most important releases for henry street records. a captivating sample, a drum machine roll and an entrancing bassline: pure house music! the remix by nicholas takes original elements and recomposes it transforming the whole into a persuasive and deep track without losing even a drop of groove. -kick & tom- is the rawest and most direct track in the ep. super funky techno, like a train without stops devastating the dance floor. dj soch is old school that meets new, there is no future without the past. black angus only for dj !

raw underground house shit ... chicago & bass influenced

>figmentation< stefan vincents debut on traut muzik, including two tracks, a remix from the label boss and also a locked groove. >delusional< is an authentic killer, a perfect weapon to activate the dance floor with dubby chords and classic 909 percusions. on the same side jonas kopp, minimizes the original providing his talented vision of techno music. >a drones loneliness< is a timeless track with the unmistakable touch of detroits sound, while >one< closes the record with a functional techno tool for djs.

big with dixon, the drifter, alex niggemann, fur coat, thugfucker, frankey and sandrino. -sketches of pain- is a meet-up of two cultures which have been at war with each other for thousands of years. music unites where the world of men divides! here the magical voice of egyptian singer ahmad elsawy can weave its spell. intelligent electronica, ethnic and acoustic instruments, all join together once more to blend two worlds into one universal language. 3 remixes. luca bacchetti continues his series of endless remixes preferring a mostly dub feel with a version that retains some of the original elements, creating that tension culminating in what is the “suspended” sonic idyll that lately has characterized his breakdowns, by now a trademark of his. jon charnis, who we already know for his work on innervisions and all day i dream, has taken it in another direction to put together a true masterpiece, the tone here becoming more -trippy- with a pure afterhours atmosphere. the ever present and increasingly detailed groove add to that magic touch that has made charnis one of the most interesting techno artists on the american scene. last but not least one of our favourite techno artists, eduardo de la calle, surprises us with an interpretation that distances itself completely from the original, moving it into that enigmatic, mysterious and unregulated territory that is definitely his very own unmistakable way of living and feeling techno music. an ep that we expect will come-out from indoor clubs to find its best expression in exotic locations, deserts, beaches, dimensions that are part of that imaginary world that we call: endless.

we left herva & dukwa with a bunch of bangers with their latest ep -it fell down-… we found em back only after few months with their first lifes track longer player featuring an impressive variety of styles but always with their unmissable, raw and twisted up touch. this album of 8 tracks, spread in one twelve and a seven inches, starts on a side with the funky break of -needed-, continuing with the deep driving moment of -amore- and the hip hop beat of -put it on-. on the flip side instead we find the catchy vocal riff of the stomping roller called -freak with us- followed by the soulful ghetto tech vibe of “call it you” and the melancholic, romantic, stoned and rotten lullaby of -tired brass-. more tasty and unusual grooves are included in the tiny wax which close the record up, on a side the peaceful, abstract, suspended and atmospheric dimensions of * play with me* and on the other the glow-fi-sh and -emo--tech wave of -venere-. unmissible!

freaktown is back with another funky disco banger !

waypoints builds on those early successes, with that delicateness of touch plain to hear. a renewed warmth enters. tracks wash with a lush and textured sound. sheer class spills from speakers. porthole illustrates from the needle-drop what you are in for. a tapestry of tones reveals incredibly emotive electronics. tracks are sculpted with an awe-inspiring precision, from the wind-swept wonder of murmur to 303 echoed dreamscape of the searching. and it is a dreaminess that embodies this ep.

evan caminitis slow but steady progression towards electronic music from sand-swept guitar drone mirrors the pace of the music he makes. it has been measured, each move well-considered and clearly intentional. caminiti has immersed himself in electronic production on meridian, creating organic sounds through his machines, patching sounds that recall the brassy resonance of horns and hazy choral clusters. synthesizers hiss and crackle under layers of reverb and fog. sounds undulate and implode in upon themselves, with bursts of noise dropping in and out to create shadows of rhythm. caminitis electronic systems do not run autonomously - the sounds heard on meridian required real-time human interaction to bring them to life, and that human touch is essential to the mysterious atmosphere he produces on this new album.

whilst he is primarily recognised for his bond with detroit and its varying strands of house and techno, seth troxler is an artist whose taste and collection spreads much further afield. through his own imprint soft touch, seth explores music from way beyond the motor citys borders as he seeks to outlet left-of-centre cuts that touch on interstellar guitar, calypso disco and seductive techno tracks. with the project inaugurated by clarian back in august of 2014, the second instalment comes from the visionquest and playhouse affiliated trio rework who draw from their unique meld of synths and vocals and turn in their lovecall ep

• billy nasty’s electrix recordings returns with a new ep by fleck e.s.c.
• very limited vinyl pressing features solid remixes from carl finlow and pip williams
franck collin, aka fleck e.s.c, is an electro artist originally from france but currently living in tokyo. franck’s earlier experience playing bass and drums in bands and his love of horror, science fiction and b-movies, naturally drove him to the electro scene. with additional influences rooted in new wave, contemporary, techno and ambient, fleck e.s.c tries to avoid the clichés of electro, leaning more toward the spooky side of horror and sci-fi and the cheap retro sounds in tribute of the movies he loves. never too serious or pretentious and always striving for fresh sounds, fleck e.s.c’s music aims to distract the body and the brain.
his ‘nice guy ep’ comprises two killer new tracks that emphasize this sound, the dappled ‘what r we waiting 4’ and the ominous tones of ‘nice guy’. remixes of the latter come from london modular’s pip williams with a sweeping rendition, alongside the mighty carl finlow who also adds his magic touch...

focusing on deep and raw vibes, strictly wax and classic beats, the - montee louis ep- has been directly imported from bellevue ii, libreville gabon, africa & it has been produced by the great bernard da smoove. mpc-filtered deep house with some darker & menacing rhythms, a1 - hudson budd- kicks off the a1 with a meaty 4/4 kick drum which slowly finds itself surrounded by ghostly pads and even more haunting synths. a2 - thrawbock- mutates into a more light hearted house jam for the heads, with its vocal infectious sample. b1 - strctly move - goes back into familiar, smooth deep house territories but still retains his magic touch, able to transform even the deepest of basslines into something both unusual and musical at the same time. b2 & b3 thrawbock 88 & strctly move 88 are the 90s hip-hop (!!!) versions of the same tracks above : insane !! first time we heard it we thought, hell yeah, the production is just terrific & indeed there s a timeless quality to the intricately programmed drum machine rhythms, the drifting chords, warm

nsdos is back with some new toys from outer space - on this ep we hear six figments of his twisted imagination, caught live .... on this very dense and captivating ep, kirikoo des goes back to the 90 s with some cut up electronica flair (-christine +2-, -dona j haraway-) reminiscing oval s work or some experimental shake shakir tunes. the longest tracks though feels closer to a club from the future with some eerie pads (-fa-) and liquid rhythms patterns typical of the nsdos touch we love (-yuko-). overall this ep is a much cerebral effort and yet still keeps a vibrant and gorgeous organic side to it. demanding the full attention of the listener, the reward in the end is a total bliss taking us in a deep dimension. -space is the place- as the master sun ra once said

harry klein records is back. the first contribution comes from giorgia angiuli. born and raised in the deep south of italy, giorgia is a classic example for a inimitable talent when it s about combining different styles of music. either playing live on stage or recording in the studio – her unconventional manner of reception and rendition, same on stylistic as on technical issues, allows her to create unique moments through her music. in this sense her forthcoming ep, named nebula , is a contribution to the multiple diversity which marks the electronic scene nowadays more than ever. it s taking us on a journey through the facets of heart-warming house, straightforward techno, and the fields of intense and dreamy pop, always reminding us of what s really essential in music.
