out on the floor firecrackers that ignited the northern soul boom on soul for dancers, journalist (mojo, record collector) and r&b authority lois wilson takes a trip back in time to the rare soul scene s roots, to where it all began if you like. many of the 32 tracks on this 2lp vinyl set (selected from the 61-track 2cd compilation) filled the floor at manchester s the twisted wheel and london s the scene club, both precursors of the wigan casino, blackpool mecca, the golden torch in stoke et al. the sparks that lit the fuse, these early triumphs would give rise to an era defining scene, one which became a treasured subcultural phenomenon.

following last years meditative mirage ep and the stunning * beat 13* on lovers rock no. 6, earthen sea returns to lr with his debut lp ink. his heaviest and most ambitious work to date, ink is a work of hypnotic, monastic beauty. over the last ten years, earthen sea, aka jacob long, has been developing a sound world all his own, built on a foundation of vaporous grey-black drones and pulsing kick drums. an impressionistic dream-scape of american life, ink journeys between the eerily vacant “entrance” to the feverish “stateless” and the shimmering perfection of “all men know the truth.” swaths of violent, glacial noise collide with lost voices transmitted through the ether, framed between moments of transcendent clarity. following an extended three song suite, closing track * blues in black ink* rides a gently falling piano melody into a finale that is as infused with political rage as it is with private melancholy. with ink, earthen sea arrives fully formed, an artist in utter command of his craft.

next up on les disques de la mort, and we playing with all the preconceptions, once more. now we are slowing things down, and speeding them up. the word is elastic . we are back with our most psychedelic release to date and you are the first to be injected. rodion & mammarella are known for their strange hybrid of slow burning electronic disco but they have been on the mountain of truth. they saw the light. they flew off. on the remix duties toulouse low trax provides the dusseldorf angel dust to suspend you in time and space and flavien berger, the new wunder french kid, is on the opiate shuffle.

its a universal truth that sometimes we all need a little time out. but time away from the coal face doesnt necessarily mean putting your feet up, and though sheffield house master squarehead has taken a break from the release schedule of late, hes remained hard at work in the studio.

meanwhile returns having celebrated its 10 year anniversary, not by releasing a swanky box set, but by taking a year off. first release on the fully rejuvenated meanwhile is from sen aka john shern who forms part of the satellite religion collective along with g.r.i.t, future thought tapestries, channel 73 and space_ci. here he delivers 25 minutes of deepest machine music spread over 2 tracks. a side future thoughts jazz is a deep drifting detroit infused journey through the far reaches of outer space, while the b side wars of truth(reseen) is an epic slice of heavy clanking industrial rhythms and deep textures. the release is also the first to feature artwork commissioned by sometime meanwhile recording artist samuel van dijk aka mohlao, inward content, vc118a, multicast dynamics. so, both sonically and visually this release sits perfectly within the meanwhile catalogue of quality not quantity.

mindtrip is pleased to announce the release of the labels 10th ep with 3 strong, synth orientated dancefloor tracks from label boss pfirter and a remix by tensal. the frenetic procyon begins the ep, a dark, atmospheric and intense track. with its driving percussive flow, its guaranteed to send whoever hears it into a feverish delirium. up next is rige, a more subtle and deep track which works a relentless groove alongside colourful metallic textures. tensal - also known as hektor sandoval and one half of spanish techno titans exium - remixes procyon superbly for the third track of the ep and demonstrates his innate ability to craft interesting and fresh sounding techno. the ep closes with closer to the truth, a hypnotic, trippy outing where tension and energy builds relentlessly amid a backdrop of organic anologue hubbub, providing a perfect showcase of pfirters trademark sound. this is mindtrip!

a separate lineage is the brand new ep on ownlife label. this release retrieves leiras usual footprint sweeping through different intensity levels and soundscapes. genetics supplies the right amount of energy to open the record while no partial truth evokes a rougher sound reminiscent of the 90s. a separate lineage is a showcase of contained pressure, guiding the listener into a hypnotic state. the final track, dry ocean, rounds out the ep as it dives deep into an otherworldly sonic plain.

emerging deep from within the depths of the brooklyn underground. upsetting keys seeks to inform, to educate and inundate. this time they are armed with emotional, unknown electronic structures that originated back in the late 90s. the audio sculptures presented on this release specifically pass somewhere in a shape between total art form and other, much more subliminal and subdued opaque constructs. reade truth, iconic producer of planet e and sonic groove fame, rewinds all the way back to his first imprint, reintroducing to the public to the elusive and oft hyped path records.

as the sun rises a little higher in the sky, above machine emerge from their winter hibernation with the first fruits of their impeccably assembled new release schedule. jonny nash takes on jose manuel s summer wind and, much like the superb melody as truth releases he s penned, sets out a widescreen canvas of tone and melody, as piano and vocal punctuate the sonic plain. twisted tongue take on maricopa s recently unveilied we could maybe feat. nicola kramer. and the result sounds like loose ends operating as in-house band at a speakeasy orbiting a distant nebula the b side has seconds another day beautifully reconfigured for sunrise moments by slo, while b2 has an original slo moment bombora which, much like it s namesake is a gentle balearic breaker washing over the sonic reef... bona fide bottled sunshine people - above machine are back !

uplifting, perfectly crafted big room techno anthems + uk bass related bonus cut.

the legendary clarence reid has long been a towering figure over black music for almost 50 years! even if you re not instantly familiar with his name you have %100 heard some of the mans music... hes produced, played for, written for & performed with endless amounts of legendary artists in his career, he is simply put, a legend.

remastered neuauflage eines der besten deep southern soul-alben aller zeiten von sandra bright aus memphis, später nashville, aus dem das stax-sublabel truth kurz vor der stax-insolvenz leider nur einige 7 inch singles auskoppeln konnte. 1989 erschien es dann bei demon records und wurde zur begehrten rarität.

satsang is the truth. a vinyl imprint of unknown origin, drops a 2 track 12 inch, on 180g cut at 45rpm on each side. limited to 300 copies. this is a split series record, with tracks coming from pablo marco & noel jackson. two amazing house tracks fit for those late night sets. bang it! digital will be released in 365 days from the release date via bittorrent.

only one listen to the crystal clear rapture in the sound of bodhi shows the funk influenced take on dance music this young duo have to offer. olly howells and luke welsby started producing together 2 years ago but ever since they kept on capturing the right attention. therefore it is no surprise that exploited picked them up to release three uplifting, warm and modern dance tracks.

a1: -deep roads- the idea of perfection has never been so close. with its persistent succession of drums and embracing bassline the first track of the ep kicks in with analog pure sounds. a2: -got me- it is recorded with maria bergson on vocal. 100% pure sexy club banger. b1: -what u want- alex calls den on board to create something extraordinary. the result is a creature that will take your body and shake it all night long. drums and bass recorded live, analog. b2: -got me- (rick wade remix) nothing better than an exotic and tribal version of got me by the master of house mr. rick wade.

with this first ep, s.o.n.s pays homage to the early age of electronic dance music, when techno, house and trance were friendly to each other, when tracks were full of deepness and harmonics, when drums were crazy and raw, when techno was soulful. yeah, this is all about this ep, some soulful deep techno excursions. while the a1 is an after-hours emotional weapon freely inspired by an obscure m. goddard production some will recognize, the a2 is a more straight forward electro track with dark vocals and rising chords, as they made it in detroit back in the days. on the other side of the record is a techno journey through a rainforest with pan flute, deep chords and old school bassline. plus there is a little bonus locked groove: a mere 4/4 tr909 bass drum s.o.n.s personally uses in their crazy obscure techno mixes. turquoise vinyl + foil sticker on cover, limited to 200 copies. mastered by matt colton (l.i.e.s, apron…)

lena willikens is a secret encyclopaedia on everything düsseldorf (see her involvement in salon des amateurs), everything brussels, and everything new wave, that is barely the whole truth- it is actually just the tip of the iceberg.

limited pressing on audiophlie 180 gram double vinyl.
when diamond district dropped in the ruff on mello music group in 2009, the gritty drums and grimy raps combined as elementally as hydrogen and oxygen. the d.c. voltron of oddisee, yu, and x.o. dusted off and revitalized a sound once consigned to the catacombs. hailed as an instance classic, its impact reverberated throughout the underground and mainstream. the washington d.c. city paper called it the citys best album in many years. during an era when lyricism was deemed too intellectual and samples too dated, diamond district overturned conventional logic. they preserved the raw and made it righteous. a half-decade later, the holy trinity has returned with march on washington. the truths remain timeless. wisdom over rhythm. slang turned into testament.

der new yorker rapper diabolic kehrt nach seinem debütalbum aus dem jahr 2010 auf dem immortal technique label viper records mit features von vinnie paz, sean price, celph titled, apathy, r.a. the rugged man und anderen zurück. dj premier, engineer, junior makhno, snowgoons und andere sorgen für die produktion.

after efforts by legowelt and behling & simpson, berlin based oskar offermann comes up with the 3rd installment in the riverette series.

vin sol & matrixxman open up their label, soo wavey, to newcomer en who drops this 4 track ep (including a remix by vin sol & matrixxman) of house and techno. the lead track truth steps out of the gates swinging with aggressive yet tucked tr-909 programming sitting nicely alongside dark motifs. ens and reality then delves into menacing minimal drone techno territory, ultimately yielding to a subtle call and response exchange among dueling 808 tom bass lines. on the flip side, 4u lighten things up a tad with soulful, atmospheric detroit chords supplying a much needed breath of fresh air. last but not least, vin sol and matrixxman join in on the fun supplying a hypnotic, off kilter reworking of 4u imbuing the remix with restrained chicago jacking vibes that flawlessly straddle the divide between house and techno. limited to 500 copies (no repress!).

a collapse of any truth, absence of light, and spectroscopic industrial manoeuvres in the dark: this is isolated process ep realized by kwartz. isolated process is a robotic monotonic thought deep down the furthest abyss. belling drums alongside drones and solid grey basslines appears on first function and second function: two different points of view, two moments about the same hypnotic march. milton bradleys remix is a slower exploration of what remains alive underneath the space. slow and cyclical beats hits back the mind once lost in the ocean. pure machine darkness.

violet poison is the dark, enigmatic and esoteric side-project of francesco baudazzi, already known as obtane, co-owner with giorgio gigli of the defunct techno label zooloft. the new project is focused on analogue proto-techno with influences from 70s italian progressive bands like goblin or ost composers like fabio frizzi and earlier downwards records from 1994-1995.

it is rare to hear a debut 12 inch single that really blows you away. that is hardly a controversial statement, in truth, most producers take time to find their feet, developing a distinct style over a period of years, rather than months. magnesii, then, is something special. currently based in amsterdam. the previously unheard of producer has delivered a stunning debut 12 inch for tom tragos voyage direct label. raw, fuzzy and in turns melancholic, spellbinding and intense, its three tracks bubble and hiss to the distinct sound of vintage analogue hardware.

kosme compares his art to sailing, wandering from one island to the next in an incessant and utopian pursuit of sonic truth. like all explorers with merit, his voyage is driven by more than mere travel, it is driven by the simple pleasure of discovery. the encounters along the way have shaped and will continue to him and his art. it has become imperative to keep a log of these changes. cosmic ad is the logbook, an honest self portrayal of his musical evolution, without fabrication or pretense. too often electronic music is subjected to the damaging opinions of others and categorized in a movement or a trend, choking the freshness out of the sound. cosmic ad provides the platform for him to present his music to the public the way he wants to, when he wants to, his artistic adventure is out there for all who want to witness. a concise account of his creative energy, a unique platform for a unique artist who searches nothing except discovering new landscapes and inspiration.

leftroom welcomes its new vinyl only white series. the first release sees the return of geeeman and mosca with their instrumental takes on matt tolfreys the truth and sweatshop boys wide world.

that dope loop pinning down sascha dive as cocoons deephouse wunderkind wouldnt really hit the nail on the head however it isnt far from truth. compared to most other artists of this genre he can for sure be classified as a young gun but there is no soundproof for his age in his music at all.

ltd to 222 copies only
you have to repeat the truth always, even because of the error around, it is preached, not by individuals but by the masses. so the madness is invisible when it adopted sufficiently large proportions. in this case we are connected: i am you and you are me! would i lie to you? who does not know the truth is a fool. but who knows it and calls it a lie, is a criminal. but one day you will have to admit officially that what we baptized truth, have an even greater illusion than the world of dreams. do you want to be a part of the silly people. available as limited edition red vinyl.

nice price deal !!! much anticipated diagonal lp from rusell haswell, 1st edition comes with high gloss, spot-uv varnished outer sleeve and printed inner sleeve

more f*ckin old skool flavoured killer tracks

little 15 has been making waves on the london house underground scene since foot & mouth snapped up his amazing bootleg of depeche mode s policy of truth. several releases later, he joins forces with rome s metropolitan records to bring you his distinctively melodic take on deep house, cascading synths over a bumping bassline, before a beautiful vocal swoops in to bring back memories of hazy sunrises and loved ones. on the flip, sam russo (leftroom) takes the track down a dark alley, turning it into a deep, ominous, techy monster, totally turning the song on its head. mastered by masteringdivision

as label bosses of lucidflow and klartraum themselves, nadja lind and helmut ebritsch are afforded the luxury of dictating their music vision as they wish. this culminated in last years secret moon, the second studio album of the pairing, focussing on their fluid dub laden house grooves

there are certain moments and event that can redefine a nation and a culture. the 1987 1988 acid house explosion was such a moment in our time that it did capture a nation and a forged a new era in modern music. acid was such a taboo in the late 80s in the uk that law officials thought that the music insight mass use of acid and everyone would space out, and that was far from the truth. but what is true that some guys from chicago created a sound that the world einbraced and continues to embrace to this day.

in a soft night of confusion the ape was born into his lion mothers lair. as he grew older, he danced in countless circles around his fathers fallen empire. spent by fires of ecstasy, the departed reptile king appeared in his sleep and told one love will show you how to fly, and he sang forget the world, cause no man will ever wake up from that insubstantial world of cycles...
