it is 2013 and in this release we hear a totally new approach to sampling. a vinyl release of two artists. fitz ambro$e (cape breton island) residing intokyo, & ohbliv of richmond, virginia(usa). fitz ambro$e sound has unique influence from 90s hip hop and 80s soul, he is also affiliated with cosmopolyphonic collective in tokyo. from the record archives of his father, ohbliv developed the charm of sampling. the record is a 14 track collage of beats from two uniquely talented artists who transcend their individual musical roots. as if competeing with each other both leave the remnants of sampling material, and the method in which they cut and chop is truely an interesting work.

after the successful debut release schmitzhöhe ep, bergwacht records is now coming up with the second project arbol del tule ep. of course the now well-favoured sound of bergwacht turns up on this release as well, and with dutch artists michael and jurriën of 10dens two more appreciated ambassadors of melodic techno could be gained over. the idea of producing an ep to pay homage to the trees of our earth arised after a long-standing friendship followed by 10dens first gig at a bergwacht event end of 2012. once again this is made clear: bergwacht is a family affair.

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.

first up is tabou for the people by sofrito specials featuring l barrabas which twitch edited for his dj sets a couple of years back. the lovely people at sofrito kindly gave permission for it to be included on this release. its a relentlessly driving slab of 4/4 afro funk with horn explosions. next up is the 10th and final track in twitchs cumbia series. the first 8 were released on japans lets get lost label and the missing number 9 is being saved for a future release. colombias cumbia was born out of african influences. this track is based around a sample from colombian cumbia legend andres landero and is an attempt to fuse traditional cumbia sounds with up to date production styles. the end result is a slow motion hypnotic cumbia retaining the haunting melancholia inherent in the original sample. leading the aa side, twitch passed a wild highlife song by ghanas atakoru manu to glasgows super talented auntie flo (whose highly recommended future rhythm machine album recently saw a release) to play around with. auntie flo cut it up and added additional drums and bass to come up with this euphoric modern highlife groover

catalogue number ten at uncanny valley and for this occasion the dresden based label returns to its roots with another various artists ep. actually, this is long overdue since there are a lot more talented producers to find in the elbe valley. on uncanny valley 010 we present four of them. sandrow m who focussed on the c-beams project recently has been part of the label right from the start. with “the three trees” he makes his solo debut for uncanny valley. the track is a summery house tune that shines with garage vocals and warm synth pads. steve kasper is slowing it down with unvexed dub which is an immersed house excursion for the morning hours. on the flipside scherbes kill bills stumbles but does not fall. instead, the track lives from tottering interaction between bright percussions and fractious drones below. finally, its jacob stoy who closes the record with s51, a dreamy deep house study including heavenly pads and subtle drum programming. for the artwork we are very glad to welcome back paul waak and his colourful figures that gave the first four compilations their unique look!

the second offering on hcs from the mighty rotterdam based duo. again duplex drop bombs with their signature state of the art inner city techno. clearly playing with their love for the motorcity but always pushing the boundaries of what we like to call harbour city soul. 3 tracks ranging from beautiful deep electro to floor killing techno tracks. highly recommended!

>aspen< is the name of christian loefflers single before his debut album on ki called >a forest<. the name of the single is not to be misunderstood as a dedication to the ski resort in colorado. its rather a dedication to christian loefflers home region in the north of germany. loeffler walked out into the forests near darss, to take field recordings of the trees that commonly grow in that area, which are called >aspen<. the landscape near darss is characterized by signs of storm and rough sea climate, but is also considered as a popular health resort in germany. the tracks on >aspen< create this contrary atmosphere: noise and silence, destruction and peacefulness, electronic sounds and traditional instruments unite in harmony. the cover artwork for >aspen< was taken by christian loeffler himself in the forests of darss.

new years deal - more berlin, less monacco. thats the ethos of the new max essa project, jan ken po: less sun, less sea, yachts and money, more twilight hour, basement clubs, up-tempo rhythms and dance floor politics.

the third and final part of our coloured vinyl trilogy comes again as a limited edition and handnumbred. this time nick solÉ (mojuba) drops three classic us deep house flavoured tunes. on the a side the musical journey is called >earth< – steadily flowing and evolving and sometimes even getting lost in its melodies and harmonies while it keeps pushing forward with its hint of dub technoish spices. on the flip we have >beautiful day< which seems to be the perfect soundtrack for a long long sunny summer day or morning. imagine the sun rising above some trees on the horizon and this track played out loud after a long dark night. finally we have >you are my life< as a bonus track to finish of our trilogy! its dedicated to bring some colour, joy and friendliness into your life or set! this time the artwork has been done by cialex, who is the man behind the flyers of famous >golden pudel club< in hamburg and the groove release parties in horst krzbrg

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

more exciting deep house cuts on the new wt records done by will speculator. this time its another new name (well.. sort off.. hunee already did release on feel music as hunch, and is slowly building a reputation as dj) this 12 vinyl release fits well between genres, crossing deep house, disco, and detroit techno. the title track even has some quite jazzy keys. but the killer is probably rare silk which is simply magical. quality release just like the 1st wt records! check!

this special release is dedicated to detroit dj legend ken collier. his untimely passing touched me personally as he was one of a small few who supported my music and me. because of ken collier, detroit developed a dance scene, which inspired artists & producers to make dance records, which gave birth to techno, which has provided careers for so many of you in the business today. so i dare ask all you techno producers, djs, record labels, record shops, clubs which play techno music and fans of techno to pay respect to ken collier just as you would our other fine music innovators. however, this special compilation isn t about techno, it s about h.o.u.s.e sound - broadcasting it to you from live inside the st-er-eo. this record contains no artist or track listing because i don t want this to be about who made the tracks, track titles, or even who wrote this commentary. this is my personal tribute to him, and how he has motivat ed me to make my contributions to house music. thank you ken collier, for helping me grow, not just as a dj or a record producer, but also as a person. every dj and dance artist here in detroit owes thanks to you for going out into the musical forest, chopping down trees and paving the way for us to build house.

this release is the first part of a remix series, which will bring the mellow atmosphere of alifs album to the club floors and lift it to another level. chloe impressively emphasizes her experimental potential by remixing alif trees reality in a quite dark, but still pushing way. different layers of vocals decorate the rather broken minimal house track and transfer it to a floor filling anthem. the renowned dutch producer-/dj-team tj kong & nuno dos santos already demonstrated their ability to create soulful but still deep and pushing house music. through their past releases on compost black label, such as the tranentrekker/dropout û maxi or the single merging which features vocals by house legend robert owens, the international demand for all kinds of collaboration with the talented tag team increased noticeably.

tom rooster & kunststoff came out of the deep and dark forest armed with a huge bassdrum and mysterious vocals to felling the biggest redwood trees. incl. remixes by alex kork and ascon bates.
