without army nor rhetoric, dying & barakat are proposing nothing but the ethereal conviction of their senses. floating musical matter, strangely ligatured, convicciòn pours its complex epigenesis, reveals its wefts, searching for its most authentic form, loosing languages, only surrounding its audience towards its curious euphonia. a bizarre composition altering our perception, reaching each mans tempers, inviting into its chinks every sonic metamorphosis: from its aerials peels, oxidized by mtds industrial catabasis, from its chaotic progression, engorged into jeroen searchs inebriant loops, from its blueish layers thicken by mattias fridells cavernous tribal grain. supported by the kind sympathies of: eric cloutier, lee holman, thomas hessler, ben gibson, albert van abbe, philippe petit

danny wolfers wears many hats: jackmaster corky, trackman lafonte & bonquiqui, legowelt... nacho patrol is dannys travels towards african space travel. where earlier nacho patrol records spent time exploring cosmic ethiopia, this current incarnation adds a more sci-fi element to the mix, taking influences from chicago house to sun city girls, this is purely original sounds from one of the best producers out there.

2 hypnotic house tracks with the the moles typical twisted disco atmosphere. back in the early 2000s colin de la plante developed a very unique language as producer, which he has constantly continued, perfected and varied until today. no matter if the moles productions made a move towards techno, minimal house or deep house: his great love for disco music always shines through in a very distinctive way, sometimes very obvious, sometimes hidden in the background. the 2 tracks that will be released on slices of life presents the moles hypnotic and amazing paranoid disco side.

format b are back in single business! after their successful high-sea album, the two allow themself a short holiday in the romantic sample land, boiling a hissing, primeval soup called drawn to a ravers potion with which obelix would have smashed up the romans for the next 2000 years to come. as solid as the a1 bomb, the b-side continues. spinning formatesque towards sonic speed, the title rise lives up to its honour while dusk finally underlines the obvious request of this 10th formatik chief-release fatness galore!

niche n bump is a new label from london, started by one of the crew behind the wifey club nights. their stated aim is to make records that djs will play forever, not just a few weeks, and they are taking an emphatic step towards that goal with an inaugural release by the timeless spatial.

2nd album , from the editors

as the title suggests the new before the show album depicts beginnings and endings. we believe that life has many different beginnings and endings, and that the various journeys we take from one beginning to one end are filled with detours – and it is these detours which continually shape and define us as the people we are. musically years&years&years picks up where hearts and heads left off, however, it has developed towards a bigger and more complex sound image. it can best be described as a combination of sting and peter gabriel on one hand, and smashing pumpkins and radiohead on the other.

it has been four long years since glissando released the critically acclaimed >with our arms wide open we march towards the burning sea< and the duo finally return this november with a new record >the world without us<. the new material bares glissandos trademark of ethereal voices and tip-toing piano melodies but the overall sound is richer and more expansive. epic swells of strings and guitars sore above the drones and field recordings to create an intense yet fragile noise. this lp is a highly limited deluxe package of just 300 copies, including code for free mp3 download of the full album.

it is gonna be a huuge package out on formresonance with this burnin release by wareika: the original track, now timeless on vinyl, comes alongside with their own one on one mix, which tend towards summer breaks and festivals including their unique quality of flying melodies.

the second of two eps from talented californian newcomer, tyler friedman, has now arrived. a night in the woods ep starts of as a murky rhythmic experiment. when released of its bound, it transforms into a hailstorm of sound that builds in melodic intensity towards a final climax. this is scenic and brave electronic dancemusic that over and over again will capture the focused listener. on the b-side rivet for sure push tyler towards berghain. but now the tool is somewhat different. rivet transforms the cinematic original into a very dirty and dry party stomper.

butane continues to push his sound well beyond the frontiers of trendy dance music with >we are all cyborgs now<, his latest tour-de-force on his own alphahouse records imprint. apparently not interested in assimilation for the sake of popularity, he rather blazes his own wide-cut path towards artistry with two future-techno cuts rife with pointed commentary on the nature of todays dance music scene. >everybodys talkin< is a mutant hybrid of styles for the nostalgic types. latin percussion and bin-busting bass mingle with an ethereal voice lamenting the passing of the good old days. throw in one utterly twisted xylophone note that might just send a few partygoers over the edge for good, and you have an open air after-hours anthem in the making. >hey hipster< is a not-so-subtle jab at the newjack hipsters of the dance world who seem content to recycle old ideas, as long as they think they look cool doing it. deceptively simple, but carrying a heavy hook, the track features a grooving bassline, speaker busting synth stabs, and a brooding male voice admonishing these party parasites for their shallow ways. listen up kids, this is the sound of the underground. dont be fooled, this kind of music is best heard in big dark clubs where mirrors arent there for checking out your trendy haircut.

gtcm is back for a very special debut release by parisian artist low jack. at the crossroads between avant-garde techno-funk and a mischievous take on the sound of yesterday, low jacks clockmacker beats are channeled through a radiesthesia pendulum and the effects are akin to vertigo-inducing opiates of the strongest persuasion.
in addition to the three outstanding originals, this release contains gerds very first remix as geeeman. the wait has been long since his acclaimed releases on clone and he has delivered an irresistible remix geared towards dancefloor explosion that must not be missed.

me, myself & ekoplekz present two versions of tod dockstader library production tunes from his 1979/1981 lps for aldwych stalwarts boosey & hawkes … one veers towards saline techno, the other remains a resolute radiophonic bubbler … both of us are well chuffed to have had the chance to tamper with the wiley tape sages great work … bm

diametric. is pleased to announce the return of morphology with a release of four new deep electro/techno tracks. being praised as one of the finest electro acts in recent years, this new 12 inch showcases why this praise is so well deserved by the finnish duo. michael diekmann and matti turunen deliver their mix of superb machine funk electro beats and melancholic deep synth work in perfection here. b1 track >herschel crater< will cause some serious frenzy on the dancefloor with its straightforward beats and dark sequence that respectfully nods towards the sound of drexciya. dont sleep on this one, it will go through the roof.
300 handnumbered limited vinyl copies only. no digital distribution.

cazumas yume is a delicately balanced trip, from a broke, raw groove towards the light. striving upwards all the way, higher through beautifully orchestrated pads, strings and chants. if you flip the record, you will find envie by mr raoul k. if you know raouls sound, you would probably find this one to be on the clubbier tip. bulding from a groove of raouls patented percussive arrangement comes an electronic sandstorm, from tiny stabs through a full on and freaked out break where the mighty beat is totally lost. and then back at it! this is really one of those tracks that you cant help yourself from playing whenever control is lost on the dancefloor, a gateway to the crowds inner animal.

special price !!! the rebellion imprint, younger sibling to the firmly established underground leader crosstown rebels, has reached its 10th release as the daddy label edges towards its tenth year and 100th release! nurturing the more leftfield club music catching the radar of damian lazarus, rebellion next delivers the creative juices from american heavyweight tim xavier with the driving, tribal masterstroke arco della devozione.

moniker of 22-year-old brighton based charlie baldwin who cites steve reich & percussion heavy jazz as main influences for excursions into complex rhythmical territory. uses found sounds, live drums, synth & vocoder for unearthly beauty. kasket kicks off the ep with fallen, and it is apparent from the off that here is an artist very much ploughing his own unique furrow – the track has a polyrhythmic bounce that veers towards bhangra, tethered by a deep melancholic synth chord sequence and a heavily distorted vocoder.

as a follow up to the last years >radio anatomy< we are excited to present the >last day here ep< by brioski. it is a stellar effort from the talented italian and we are all feeling that he has really come into his own with this one. brioskis inspiration spans hiphop, funk, soul, disco, chicago house & techno, edging towards balearic / psychedelic atmospheres with deep percussive roots and old-school tendencies. combine this with some italian originality and a love for vintage gear and you are halfway there.

just in time the almighty stock 5 comes around in order to send out a wake up call for spring. rico casazza blesses us with his soul driver ep. the title track impresses with a badass houserhythm, adequately supported by jazzy chords that generate the space for the misty, soothed vocal in the background. -soul driver- is an afro percussion body mover, not to be missed in everydjs case. this one’s followed by -wa lking backwards-, a huge and soulful stomper, catching our spoiled ears with some elegant synth melodies and truly massive sub basses. the flip providesa wide playground for notorious emixers. first on the scene are cesare vs disorder who implanted a serious guitar lick, making their -supernatural mix- a funked out trance disco housemonster. matthew styles ennobles this flamboyant release with a rather minimalistic approach towards the original. -megamix pa rt 1- is perfectly suitable to make the crowd all yours on a sunny sunday after hour morning.

basic soul unit has been a fixture on torontos techno scene for the best part of the last decade, with releases on mathematics, crème organization and mule electronic, while skudge have made their name with a unique sound and an independent approach which has seen most of their material released through their own imprint. both artists show an interesting insight into boddikas curatorial approach for the label, and are indicative of the move towards 4/4 techno that the producer has been making for a while now – with both producers sharing a similarly weighty, yet deep approach to the genre that boddika has been moving towards in his recent collaborations with joy orbison

sonar kollektivs inclination towards dubbed out pop/dance music is definitely no secret (see fat freddys drop or eva be). but with this brand new 7inch the berlin label hits the nail on the head. chicago-born jeremy sole is one of the program selectors at renowed la radio station kcrw and hosts a weekly party in santa monica where he blends afrobeat, funk, reggae, latin, brazilian and everything else under the sun!

the chant: galloping monster with a cheeky bounce thats made all the more mega with the vocal energy.plz dont squeeze: pressurised squashed sound snippets tousle across the beats leaving the synths to breathe and soar. let this untamed tune free to expand across the club systems – and what ever you do, plz dont squeeze.nebulae: dream away on this interstellar cloud of soft vocals and floating grooves that moves you progressively towards dance heaven.

new clone basement series (lucky number 013!) with the long awaited return of a made up sound (aka 2562), following up on his archive ep/cbs02. written as a counterbalance to the more experimental releases on his own amus label series, archive ii finally unleashes whats possibly his most banging, straight-forward club material to date, while retaining the trademark a made up sound funk and swing.hang-up is all about the irresistible herbie-injected groove, cut-up and layered to great effect, whereas things get darker and bass-heavier with technotrack sweetback on the flip. keeping the tension high till a drop towards the end, seven minutes never seemed so short. a great first number 013 release and we cant wait to hear some of our favourite djs play the tracks out loud. another proper banger on the clone basement series!

morgan geists project storm queen marks a return to his roots with an analog approach towards modern house music with a disco pedigree. >lets make mistakes< once again features the vocal talents of damon c. scott. storm queens debut of 2010, >look right through<, became an underground hit and was reissued as a remix package by defected records. 2011s >it goes on< nearly outstripped storm queens debut in popularity and was featured in countless radio and club dj sets and charts. >lets make mistakes< extends the storm queen continuum at 117 bpm, slowing down and emptying out to form a sinewy, building sound sculpture with a pop song nestled at its core. storm queen physical releases will be limited-edition 12 inches only. storm queen is made for djs, but doesnt sacrifice atmosphere and songwriting. storm queen owes a debt to classic house music from new york, chicago and detroit, as well as disco and boogie. s t o r m q u e e n i s a l e a p o f f a i t h .

grasscuts debut >1 inch: 1/2 mile< was named electronica album of the month in mojo magazine and was one of the sunday telegraphs top 10 pop cds of 2010. if that album featured a mix of songcraft and electronica, follow-up unearth tips the balance towards songs. its a more vocal record and both the legendary robert wyatt and gazelle twin contribute – alongside main vocals from grasscut composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist andrew phillips. unearth proves once again that phillips is a songwriter of note, truly traversing any notion of genre with seeming ease and considerable depth. grasscuts marcus o dair features on double bass, seb rochford of polar bear guests on drums.

ready to get weird this summer? matthew dekay and lee burridge certainly are with the launch of their second imprint in 6 months following the success of their first label all day i dream. while adid represents their love of all things emotional and melodic and embraces thier signature sound perfect for their outdoor parties of the same name get weird will see releases geared towards the music they play after dark. a place to showcase more dubby, techy, slinky and sultry rhythms to hypnotize dancefloors when the sun goes down.

killer release on new yorks sequencias label. powerful and hypnotic chicago acid inspired cut on the a and a cool slow building chord driven track layered over raw drum rhythms on the b-side. recommended!! label promo text: sequencias does not stop, does not conform, takes no prisoners. our third release brings you a pair of artists from two different points along interstate 94, who have a reputation for the very same. so lets get to it. the main body laid down by villan x is tight metallic percussion underpinned by solid kicks and a stream of robotic filtered bass, containing unexpected shifts within the frequency register. foreboding tones and feelings drift towards us across which the disembodied voice of kold is able to find a platform from which to shudder into our consciousness and pose questions from across the galaxies about the nature of our very being. dcantu carries on the feelings of space, with protracted white noise shots and stabby modulated organ chords, but doesnt leave it long before setting the pace with solid drums and shifting keyboard funk aimed squarely your body and the dance floor as octave changes force you up and then down again to a backdrop thick with texture. this provides for the body and the mind. act fast though, sequencias does not like to rest.

with daughter & son on the b-side of the vinyl, the freiburg native presents a groovy, playful and impulsive sound that is guaranteed to let a summer feeling arise. set between classical techno and modern tech-house the title track daughter & son points consistently towards summer. patrick kunkel & dirk redmer refine their remix with a hypnotic bass line, but then let the track, with its dub elements and the choir parts, drift so incredibly beautiful into the sunrise, that one would wish for an infinite loop. the beach with its more playful harmony feeling and percussive gantry gives a first taste of the open-air season 2012.

following the war cry of their fi rst single >speeddance<,reptile youth return with another sublime 7inch for hfn music.the second single taken from their upcoming album >black swan born white< sees the youth expand their sound towards a grandiose post-punk pop. already a live favourite at their increasingly intense gigs, mads damsgaard kristiansen vocals soar above the funk-driven robo-rhythm, while an instantly addictive melody references their newwave roots.on the b side, londons futuristic psychedelic no-wavers s.c.u.m provide a remix that drenches the vocals in waves of reverb and suspense, before the track explodes into a churning power riff.

this is the debut vinyl release from up & coming producer jim morton. the 12 inch presents two different flavours of the jungle sound. the a side is nyc-dub, a heavy duty track with plenty of pace and energy. an atmospheric vibe is present but the production still carries enough weight with the beats and sub to work the dance floor. think ray keith meets breakage!
on side b, >underwater chord< is again a jungle bass tune but on a different vibe. it is a brighter sounding track, due to the chords and sounds used, which wouldnt be out of place in a liquid style production. with both tracks there is a tip of the cap towards the old skool sound.

ultraltd nice price action >>> here an unexpected bonus 12 inch to the clone 56. with an exciting remix by man of the moment 2562! he delivers a mix full of heavy sub basslines that make the house shiver and completes it with fine detroit melodies. 2562 manages to craftly dart between a concentrated detroit-techno drive and a sensuous dubstep swing which is slightly going towards a 4/4 beat.... but then falls back into that seductive two-step pace. bernardi gives us another take on the original version which is on a melodic, moody and even melancholic tip... so sweet! to top things of mark august delivers his bonus beats extracted from his glossy house-flavoured techno track. as usual with the clone x series: limited supplies!

corking new remix 12inch! spacepops (originally released on doser009) getting some special treatment from donato dozzy - one of our heroes from the more psychedelic & percussive side of the techno world. the track hints towards club use while luring ears into the avant garde through seductive tweaks of the ems synth, freak inspector, from madteos infamous memoria album, gets a total re-mash by jamal moss aka hieroglpyphic being- left to brew for a few years in the morphine curing closet and now at optimum maturity for its release. two masters of their respective games meeting over the sides of this 12inch with more in common than wed previously imagine tip!

it is with great honour that in paradisum welcome sometime border community and traum schallplatten artist ricardo tobar into the label for the fourth chapter in our fledgling story. the esoteric/carnaval ep reveals four tracks that further showcase the chilean producers unerring grasp for electronic music that combines moments of introspection with the unshakeable urge to lose yourself in the moment.
tobar is extending this plunge towards all new uncompromising techno territory from various, equally engrossing angles. pitch the rough hewn mutant beat dance of >esoteric< next to fizzing, acid tainted textures of >recuerdos< or the grinding journey through dantes inferno that is >carnaval< and its easy to see why tobar has been accommodated into the in paradisum fold.

faze action have never been comfortable with the nu disco tag, and in an age where its dominated by digitally designed and somewhat pedestrian in its tempo the lee brothers return with a dynamic live sound that sets them apart. freak for your love is the lead track from their forthcoming album information overload and straddles a sick dubbed out punk funk groove that brings to mind the sort of incessantly sweat inducing music dfa was releasing in the labels first few years. a pleasant new direction for faze action is explored further on the accompanying new wave disco dub mix that delves further into the realm of echo and delay over that strident groove. the mysterious st holds court on the flip with two rerubs that switch the emphasis up towards a throwback bumping 90s house flex without loosing the originals charm

after a successful 2011 releasing his sound on labels such as rejected and area remote, mark presents his debut single for saved called sacrifice. the track possesses a catchy, old school style bassline running along deep punding kicks and bright hats. the vocal takes centre stage and guides people towards the drop with the synths adding extra energy to the production. on the flip side is a re-work from the legendary terrence parker dishing up the usual high standard of additional production
