“yes lawd!”, the much anticipated debut album from nxworries (pronounced “no worries”) is coming october 21 on stones throw records. on “yes lawd!”, anderson .paak plays a theatrically brash version of himself who raps and sings like a 70s superstar and talks shit like a stone cold player. the performance is seeded with details from his life, which has seen a fair share of struggle and hard-won triumph. meanwhile knxwledge weaves a tapestry of sampled bits and live fragments - bass, brass and violin - that smooths everything over, reminding us that despite whatever struggle it took to get here... well, you already know the name: nxworries.

jimpster s much loved eel pie island track first graced the coveted 10 years of systematic compilation from last year. now, after widespread love, label boss marc romboy has commissioned a set of remixes to give the track an extra lease of life for the coming summer months. the originals, locomotive esque, slow-mo jam is taken on first by keinemusik main-man and cocoon favourite adam port. the german brings techno and minimal sensibilities to the fore but with extra tempo and swing. a mid tempo beat drives the track as atmospheric flourishes and nuanced samples create a lighter and breezier feel. an added vocal adds a hazy dose of ethereal pleasure, as adam creates another slice of musical magic. fresh from his objektivity release, hyenah offers a version of eel pie island that brings a chiming, plonking vibe, wood block percussion and bongos, all fluctuating in a sea of tribal beats, deep house and delicious sub bass. another triumph for systematic.

recorded in 18 different locations with numerous guest musician medulla was bjoerks fifth solo album and perhaps the most daring. re-issue on 180 gram double vinyl, housed in gatefold sleeve with download code included.

the fourth studio album „in the beginning“ by the critically acclaimed live band marbert rocel from leipzig. a place far away from everything, yet right around the corner. a vision close enough to touch, yet so far away. surrounded by keys, hatches, pots and small fragmented parts, marbert rocel lie down, discuss and dance through the winter of 2015. in this environment, in their studio in leipzig, the band ties together the songs, which first saw the light of day in a small spot enclosed by woods in the summer of 2014. ?each decision goes through every head, each chord is listened to a hundred times, from font to back and in reverse, each compromise: a triumph for the common cause. not pompoous string arrangements fuel this album with grandeur, but rather the notion of a consensual nod, which has evolved within marbert rocel over the years. ?“in the beginning” is the fourth album by marbert rocel, a living utopia and a tart kiss for every purist genre lover. nothing is hewn raw on here, rather sculptured delicately. percussion is tickling from synth pads like dew, and the songs welcome you like good friends. like tinkerbell, spunks voice guides through this strange familiar world, moving past big feelings and small gestures, to finally lead to where it all started: “in the beginning”.

norwegian duo trulz & robin throw down the gauntlet with the third vinyl-only statement from the cymawax label, delivering an acidic take on their patented ‘hot and crunchy techno with soul.’ the prolific pair from oslo have been a force in their country’s electronic music scene for over two decades, with massive singles for full pupp, eskimo recordings, and the cymasonic and cymawax labels to show for it. now, the agent acid ep finds trulz & robin infiltrating the secret lair of a 303 conspiracy and decoding a quartet of sonic documents full of heavy synthesized funk. the ep’s title track is a slinky introduction, featuring battling analog squelches and drum machine patterns while a disembodied vocal plays on top. “i disappear”, adding collaborator brokkoli on the voice, is a more in-your-face effort as its pulsating sequences give way to floor-thrilling breakdowns. the low end might of “magnetisk smultring” showcases trulz & robin’s experimental side, complete with a disconcerting middle passage that soon reveals gentle synth melodies over a hypnotic rhythm section. then “my body”, the release’s closing track, introduces mysterious feelings … percussive clicks and tones build steadily as dub effects, sharp washes, and ominous whispers take hold. the agent acid ep is another triumph for trulz & robin … a masterclass of covert nightclub maneuvers.

after the sampler gave dissonants vinyl lovers a taste of the new re-up album, this double-disc release showcases the rest of the tracks that make up this immersive, captivating body of work. its a creative triumph for label and artist alike, following on from four years of mutual admiration since re-up first appeared on the label.

when puppets turn to face the puppet master, the air reeks of triumph and catastrophe. for a price, i could make it go away. for a price, i could steer their hearts your way.

those generous chaps at aficionado return with their tenth release, eager to extend your summer with a 12 inch ticket to the sun and fun of la isla blanca. as you should know by now, messrs moon and boardman dont do things by halves so rather than hastily booking a scattering of seats on an easyjet airbus, they have plumped for the luxury and bliss of club class on onyricon air, the airline that gives you mas y mas. this pan european consortium, headed up by the production duo of leo mas and fabrice (ably assisted by the writing talent of italo legends rago and farina) formed with the aim of creating the perfect flying experience and their triumph is presented in all its transcendent beauty on the opening track.

after last years album *love & devotion* the husband and wife duo of mike paradinas and lara rix-martin follow up with *weird drift*. the album shows just how much their ability to write confident and thoughtful pop songs has developed, while still being able to retain the sleepy cushion of steamy synth pop that made the first record so rewarding to listen to. this time album features the vocals of a vezelay, a.k.a. french singer and producer matthieu le berre, who brings a gentle poised falsetto to the duos productions along with a delicate but hopeful angst. the vinyl lp comes with download code for the full album.

phonica unveil the first in a series of three 12inch samplers featuring a selection of tracks from their new compilation ten years of phonica.

deluxe book-style package, includes artist notes, complete musical scores and photographs - 2x12 lp + cd.
in 20 years of kompakt no one ever got bored: the cologne-based label always knew how to maintain its geographic and stylistic positioning on the fence. we owe that to all those great – and also wildly different – artists who have found their way to us in two exciting, sometimes exhausting, always inspiring decades. from the borderlands between faux pop and cheerful science also comes colognes multi-instrumentalist gregor schwellenbach, who separated 20 label classics from their dance roots and re-recorded them as chamber music.

insubordinate and averse to anything going on in the edm world the dutch derelict of techno is back with a luminous new album on clone records. steamy and mysterious as ever the paranormal soul is advancing the trademark legowelt sound into new directions. mangling up the historical foundations of new york, detroit, chicago and early u.k rave, mixing it with seedy witchcraft rituals and deep space psychedelics for a boundless journey into techno mysticism.

theres a storm brewing on stil vor talent this summer! after stellar 12inch by edu imbernon & triumph and niko schwind, were soaking your senses with a wonderfully wide-ranging split-ep courtesy of the swiss boys animal trainer and the koletzkis groove machine björn störig!

following her flowerhead single which was backed with a hugely successful spencer parker remix, swedens la fleur returns to her own fledgling power plant imprint for it s third release, eavesdropper. strong, melodic and timeless house music paired with stunning artwork, power plants remit is a simple but attractive one. the beautiful images of olaf hajek, wilfried pordiech sätty and now hans arnold provide a striking outer to a core that, in just two releases, is already essential for many a house fan. former dancer sanna la fleur, label boss and the artist in question for the label s third 12 inch, employs a variety of sunny major key chords and whispering female vocals on title cut >eavesdropper< to great ends. spacious and gentle yet undeniably propulsive >eavesdropper< is an infectious skipping groove with a strikingly beautiful feel underpinned with nagging bass. the flipside cut tjuvlyssnerskan takes its name from the swedish feminine noun for eavesdropper yet reverses the gender of the vocals of its counterpart. added dusty loops, poignant pianos and another weighty bass create a piece of house that much more than the sum of its parts. the > eavesdropper< is another triumph for the power plant label and la fleur while also being a shining example of how to release records with love and care.

gerardo frisina goes back to the roots of the sound which has made him famous worldwide: the latin sound of classics like >descarga< or >the latin kick< (both previously released on schema). >moderno primitivo< is an ep about the encounter of the ancient afro-cuban tradition (the core of frisinas artistic dna) with a refined electronic taste. this component enriches drums and percussions and gives more edge to the whole production with details like pads and effects. in >moderno primitivo< the latin ensemble headed by frisina takes us into a jam session where percussions, piano and trombone play happily. the latin house mix is a club version where the rhythmic element and the groove take control of the mix. the melody is broken and a hammond plays over a ostinato bass. the flavour is definitely tribal. >cogele el ritmo< is a trip into frisinas latin world. slower than >moderno primitivo<, still has a solid hook to the dance-floor and is a triumph of joy and colour.

zooloft records is approaching to the era of future tech-noir and this release is the result of an internal process of thoughts and ideas behind them. it tells the story of a sad wanderer who is trying to find the path to personal truth. outside, a desolate scenario of modern architectures of cold glass, standing to the edge of horizon. a wonderland of mirrors and empty landscapes: the triumph of solitude. the a side starts with a complex and claustrophobic dark-techno driver which sets a point of no-return. an obsessive pattern of sub-frequencies collides with breaths from the beyond. sound paranoia. the highest frequencies create phrenetic and compulsive rhythms to make the dynamics imploding. the heroes of modern-age industrial techno, orphx, make the path to truth harder. they trace an obscure reinterpretation of the a side with a percussive alarm that marks the time, while dense and anxious atmospheres are followed by syncopated beats and distorted high-frequencies. the breaths from the beyond are now closer than ever. the ep gets closed by an evocative, thoughtful and beatless composition. the perfect soundtrack for those who are wandering and wondering

so after the elusive triumph of our first release finally came firmly into our grasp, we at sequencias here in new york thought it was time to take things in a parallel direction without retracing our steps. drafting three top names in underground deep house for a label debut is no mean feat, but how do you follow up on a surprise coup like that? we thought it was time to go even deeper, and we couldnt think of a better way of doing that than getting an experienced player to unveil a new alias for our second offering. things being as they are, weare trying to keep it a bit low here, but what we can let you know is that his discography stretches back to 2005 and that he has appeared on the illustrious bunker records. this should give you a good idea of what to expect: deeper-than-deep, dirty, and gritty house that jacks with the best the movement has to offer. we have to say that orpheus firmly delivers here, and we hope you will be as pleased as we are with the three dark and introspective offerings he unveils for his new project here at sequencias.

since decadence in june 2010 and seven eps released this year, dame music is a continuous story of success and has established itself in the underground music scene. the triumph of bloody marys >arabesque< ep on national radios was a turning point for the label which has defined its musical identity, a modern genre of electronic music blended with a touch of rock, disco, classic or new wave influences. last hits sierra sams >queen of spade< ep and komatons >dehunt< ep are an excellent representation of the dame-music signature. the artwork of the label has also seen a significant evolution by the quality of its covers and teasers which fully fits with the music. to celebrate its first anniversary and give a first overview of the label imprint, dame-music is proud to present potluck, a special compilation of unreleased tracks, produced by five duos (one of the dame-musics artists, plus one of their friend). bloody mary got this concept to gather the dame-music family (mostly consisted by marys berlin based artists and friends) to work hand in hand with the music and artwork. they shared talent, creativity, emotions and ideas.

there. is. nothing. better. than. a. clear. blue. sky. after the storm. taken literally, the track listing for barems debut lp represents that fleeting moment when nature puts its house in order, when calm and clarity triumph over chaos. of course it also works perfectly as a metaphor for those fuzzy moments of self-reflection while sprawled on a hotel bed after another mind-blowing night at the controls, or while taking stock of a musical journey thats about to culminate in a debut album for the internationally renowned label that motivated you to start making music in the first place. this is the vinyl version of barems debut album, with five specially edited tracks for all vinyl-lovers

returning for a fourth ep on the label, berlins nick höppner continues his exploration into an ever-developing and rich production vocabulary. the rough goes with the smooth in perfect harmony on -a peck and pawn-. höppners unique sound design leads to a dense wash of sound sparkling with airy details and his characteristic sub bass subtleties, as the whole track gels together in a pushing modern house triumph. the spaced out and traveling -she parked herself- is a real fusion of the many influences behind the producers inspiration. bubbling percussion and pretty melodic structures fuse with a melting analog bassline in this high-tech and positive jam. with its heavy bass and late-night atmospheres -swivel flick- slows the pace in a warm, dubbed and droning thinkpiece that is just as cinematic as it is direct for the club. jostling just beneath the surface youll find a wealth of details that really shows off nicks talent and dedication to a non-standard groove

marcus lambkin, aka shit robot, is joined on this excellent debut full length by a list of notable contributors: james murphy co-wrote several tracks and mixed the album, while juan maclean, planningtorock, lcd soundsystems nancy whang, hot chips alexis taylor, house of houses saheer umar and ex-nation of ulysses and the make-ups ian svenonious all contribute vocals and co-writing to >from the cradles…< stellar arc of songs.

hot on the heels of her last feel good smash these times, comes kimaras latest jammer far away, with two very distinctive remixes, the first by distant musics jon cutler. one might think we picked jon because of his coincidental label/song title relation, but one would be wrong! we picked jon because his superb production skills. the man behind the worldwide triumph its yours, as well as many others, brings a good bit o bounce to the dance floor on this remix. his lush piano chords, funky percussion, and synth zaps are a perfect bed for kimaras strong vibrant vocals to lay upon. he also turns in a truly slick dub for those looking for a bit less vox. for those looking for more tech, one of our favorite new dance producers out of japan, hideo kobayshi, slings us with a tougher, warpier punch (and dub) that ll get hearts and feet movin in synch.

2 dancefloortracks of hamburg based label fresh fish rec. on the a side hausmann c presents a >beaty world< . on the flip paulo olarte does his thing with >dulce mio< . beaty world tells the story of a fight. with no need for words, the protagonists realise their roles and invent a language of their own. moving like dancers they approach one another, each strike a thought. a bubble suspended in the air. triumph alone encounters its dark side, as with apparent lack of effort it strips itself of all blemish. with stoic calm and an alienated quotation >dolce, mio< sets out to find the inner muse. entering her space the available talents present themselves and put themselves to the test. nothing appears simple, they flow and envelope their own idea and try desperately to gain the ultimate tension, which then, in retrospect incredulous, strangely intoxicated, is received as though by a jubilant choru

ever since first appearing on bristol s black acre imprint back in 2009, kwesi darko s blue daisy project has been hard to pin down. 2011 debut album the sunday gift was a triumph of woozy downtempo fusion, with bustling bass music influences rubbing shoulders with folksy elements, ambient, trip-hop and experimental electronica. following black acre s demise, darko now finds himself on r&s, a label willing to let him follow his unique path. as a result, sophomore album darker than blue is an even more adventurous and enjoyable set than its predecessor, with darko adding modern classical, beat poetry and hazy jazz influences to his already heady musical brew.

ein raum, fernab vom allem und doch gleich um die ecke. eine vision zum greifen nahe und doch soweit entfernt. gerahmt von tasten, klappen, poties und kleinteiligen liegen, diskutieren und tanzen marbert rocel durch den winter 2015. in diesem, ihrem leipziger studio fźhlt die band die lieder zusammen, die im sommer 2014 in einem noch abgelegneren, umwaldeten winkel entstanden. jede entscheidung durch alle kšpfe, jeder akkord von hinten und vorn hunderte male gehšrt, jeder kompromiss ein triumph fźr die sache. keine streicherarrangements vermitteln hier grš§e, sondern das einvernehmliche nicken, das źber die jahre in marbert rocel entstand. in the beginning ist das vierte marbert rocel album. eine gelebte utopie von freundschaft, ein herber kuss fźr jeden genreliebenden. hier ist nichts grob gehauen, sondern fein gemei§elt. wie tau perlt das schlagwerk von fŠchernden synths. wie gute freunde empfangen dich die songs. wie tinkerbell leitet spunks stimme durch eine vertraut-fremde welt vorbei an gro§en gefźhlen und kleinen gesten, um schlie§lich dahin zu fźhren, wo alles begann in the beginning.
