on the first release for mannella on his own imprint, the ice is broken by generous strings and subdued synths. revisiting “space candyman” with his distinctive stamp, marieu blows up every emotion in a swirl of high spirited techno. the b side displays all the intensity of this release, starting by the pure beat of the original mix. lucretio s remix is a mighty vision of “letters from mars” with a dogged bustle of reverberated drums and filtered chords. consider a tree for a moment: we just see and enjoy its beauty, but it must develop its roots under the ground to bloom all its beauty and grows up strong. in much the same way, jt series sinks his particular sound in a ground covered music grove. so, the fruits of our tree, are a collection of sounds thought out of the box. mannella, that runs this berlin based label, never stop explores the vast world ingrained in his machines. a sensorial techno contaminated by the most varied influences.
anders enges interest in modular synthesizers comes from a desire to shut down conscious decisions about form and to focus on rhythm and timbre. this does however not land in traditional techno but rather in a riff-oriented style, the riff being both rhythm and melody and also a morphing entity in the music. drums and percussion attempt to follow this entity, while maintaining a link to the dance music pulse. the resulting style makes for a hybrid timewarped experience of travelling a parallell electronic music reality, a brooding technoid that grooves

hessle audio are excited to announce the release of the self-titled debut album by pearson sound, aka label co-head david kennedy. characteristically minimalist in approach, its nine tracks use a handful of elements to craft mesmerising, self-contained worlds, alive with motion and near-subliminal detail: from vast and inky landscapes, to electrifying rhythm tracks, where layers of percussion and bass tumble over one another like rocks in a landslide.
following their critically acclaimed solo album iii, badbadnotgood return with wu tangs ghostface killah for a full length album including guest spots from mf doom, danny brown, elzhi and soul trap mc tree.

for i was wide awake, it was no dream. a tree with spreading branches and with leaves of divers kinds, dead silver and live gold, shimmering in radiance that no words may tell.
the fruit of b4ck6roundno1se has ripened despite the fact the the tree is in a demotivating country without sunshine in a fucking closed garden. the tree has been sprayed by a lot of jealous and hostile arseholes but its roots are strong. let this record and the whole self-made label motivation to all those, as well, always searching for excuses.
taking its name from the address of ron hardys seminal muzic box club (326 n.michigan ave, chicago 3.2.6. was a short lived project from one dion williams, ably assisted by the legendary armando gallop and mike dunn who lend their mixing skills and individual styles across the breadth of the entire record.
the first release on freerotation brings together 4 core residents, juju, jordash, move d and soulphiction with the organizer of the festival steevio in a joint project of live hardware jam sessions. the high on wye quintet: 5 men, a modular synthesizer and a mountain of hardware, crammed into steevios bijou studio in the welsh hills for 2 days after freerotation 2012. they had one ambition, to somehow transmute the energy from a weekend of heavy partying and performing, into a live improvised album of tripped out, ambient and deep techno. the result: the hafod jams (in several parts).

launching after the seminal tambacounda ep clap! clap! drops 2 works carved from the same tree as the soon to come long player. buck is a customary quick-step drum workout where the world both modern and ancient collides to create an explosive oldworld sci-fi b-boy stomper. on the flip ichnusa is a more dreamy psyched out acid voyage across the planes.
the second vinyl is full of remixes from the first one. the small vinyl manufactory in the tree house is working in high quality. et voilá, david last (incl. dop voices), demas, florist and sebastian albrecht are the remixers and they have placed their saws and axes in the shed and carved a few tasteful sounds in electronic sisyphean. like the first release, it is musical understatement with pure groove research and a commitment to a culture of sound of the early perlon vinyls. stay tuned for more high quality music.
trunk - and branches fetched by klangscheiben manager demas with diligent helpers from the forest. they built a wooden house of joy in the middle of the thuringian pampa. in the tree house they set up a small vinyl manufactory. what counts is lively, honest craftsmanship. hunter s tree! here they are, the pieces of wood, uh vinyl. scratched into the inner bark stands out: artists have placed their saws and axes in the shed and carved a few tasteful sounds in electronic sisyphean. chapeau et voilà, because what s crawling out of the wood boxes (clearly!) is not a worm, but musical understatement with pure groove research and a commitment to a culture of sound of the early perlon vinyls. oh god, always these analogies... but there were, no, there are good times for good music! this is magnificent fizzle funk with emo edge. relish and dance!
badabim badabum here we go again, the shimmy sham sham team brings you another little nugget of love for your summer bacchanals. the season of cold cocktails, skin roasting under the sun and long afternoon spent under a willow tree is finally back. hallelujah! this one is dedicated for those of you who are searching for something better, searching for someone to love and searching for a way to rise higher.

this new piece of hypnotic room wax doesnt claim detroits situated in the land of the rising sun, but it most definitely comes close! paranoia106, takashi watanabe, yuuki hori and seri can surely be labeled as the rising stars of the japan techno scene, and the bills presented right with this ep
lph whites second offering picks up where the first one, by waze & odyssey, left us. that 12inch featured a remix by london-by-way-of southern-california house up-and-comer, urulu, who produced all four of the tracks included on this ep. left coast is an ode to taylor freels home turf, but dont think its all blissed-out balearic burners one might listen to while rolling down a palm tree-lined stretch of the pacific coast highway. every one of the four songs is a cranked-up, high-octane, peak-hour monster
what’s in a name? oakland, ca’s mwahaha answers that question with a smirk, but the sounds that emanate from their forthcoming debut album are no joke. psychedelic ebb & flows, electronic undercurrents, and elated pop flourishes bring into focus an attention to detail that’s staggering.

we are very happy to welcome our old friend pablo valentino for the second release of 2013. it is no coincidence if pablo & dairmount hooked up nearly 10 years ago when pablo started his imprint faces, dedicated to leftfield black music influenced soundscapes rooted in hip hop culture. both sharing a strong sense of underground activism, a deep love of the black music tree and a lovely obsession for futuristic sounds, it is no surprise that these two naturally decided to join effort under the room with a view umbrella.
next up, pablos monster original received the magic treatment of amsterdams finest dam swindle. one of the hottest dj & production units of the global house scene confirms here why labels like freerange, saints & sonnets or dirt crew went bananas to sign their early work. the dutch duo has made a spectacular & fast rise and is already in high demand all over the planet. their inimitable blend of melodical grooves, jazzy chords and bumpy bass-lines seemed to be tailor made to translate a new school approach to pablos rooted original tune.

the creative combo doppelgaenger, pitchbar records latest offspring, are hitting the club scene with their vinyl debut >lumberjack<.
in the track >flavoured funk<, doppelgaenger live out their hard-edged, pushing, deep side. the slightly trancy elements are joined by a hard kick drum and somewhat deep vocals contributing to the tracks dark and driving atmosphere. this track represents a homage to the thick tree trunk that drives itself firmly into the earth, covered by a resilient bark and crowned by its old cracking branches.
the second track, >i feel good now<, mirrors the trees lush foliage. somewhat lighter around the treetop, there is nonetheless a solid body below, which can be played into wide space. >i feel good now< gives us the lightness to leap from branch to branch and up into the crown that protrudes into a dark night time sky.
