ovum is excited to bring you the debut ep from nico lahs. many know him from his tracks on 8 bit and for his ovum debut he has delivered two incredible slices of deepness. the clouded visions ep harkens back to the classic early ovum sound but this is clearly a 2011 version of it. the a side >late night< is deep, but yet pumping for any dance floor. the sound is reminsicent of a mid 90s mood ii swing, but with an updated twist. this will move any floor and is shore to be heard all over this summer. >all i desire” has a classic ny feel, with the only thing missing possibly being a husky male vocal. this track can take you back to the shelter. two amazing deep productions from a talent who is clearly on the rise!

in 2010, when we started to revitalise the tresor label, we reached out to some of the greatest artists, not just in tresors history, but in techno. late 2010 we sat down in a paris cafe, just off the pompidou centre, with jeff mills, on a rainy, otherwise unremarkable and miserable day. but on this day we were given two very strong pieces of advice. >hire a fanastic a&r and sign sleeparchive<. so here we are, an artist that has been on the underground radar of the hacker, miss kittin and richie hawtin makes his debut on tresor records with >ronan point<. >the tracks developed from parts and loops i had created for my live set and always wanted to make tracks from. after a little break i took with the sleeparchive project the record for tresor was a great opportunity to make these tracks.< sleeparchives live sets have graced the dance floors and sound systems of berghain, arena club and bloc weekend, so it is fair to say that the 4 tracks that make up ?ronan point are not just tried and tested, but actually born on the dance floor. >> press: dj magazine techno single of the month.

debut release on clone royal oak by morning factory. two tracks that turn every party into a house party! two tracks that go somewhere between the old and the new school with phat bass lines, filtered stabs, blissful keys and joyful piano and a cheeky vocal on the b-side cut. all that combined with slightly slower pace, powerful production. two killer tracks that makes the most stubern raver move his ass!

damian lazarus finally imparts his own musical overtones for his mothership crosstown rebels with a special two-part ep >different now< on limited edition 500 only coloured, hand stamped vinyl, featuring remixes from men of the moment art department, enigmatic genius portable aka bodycode and up-and-coming hot new talent dead seal.

check jatten ... big track .. there has been a lot of talk about a nordic house sound lately. here two guys thatit hit it right on the head! jonsson/alter aka jonsson (porn sword tobacco/gunnar jonsson)and alter (joel alter/jor-el) checking out some abandoned synthesizers alter found in the streets. a jam session started that has not yet ended. kontra musik again manages to pick out some gems.

founded in 2007 by julien henry (synths & vocals) & marc aumont (bass & vocals), rafale got the meters in overdrive right from the start. they played festivals after festivals (les trans musicales, les découvertes du printemps de bourges, astropolis, art rock...) & stood out thanks to inflammatory shows in which raw rock power melts with rapturous clubbing rave. after the release of two eps (rock it, dont stop itt - excessively blogged - & drive, one of year 2009’s best videos according to french magazine les inrocks) & with the support of the media, this double act grew to a trio when franck richard joined on the drums to work on a third ep produced by arnaud rebotini (blackstrobe):eraser. today rafale releases its brand new 12 inch produced by arnaud rebotini, everglades.

after a well deserved winter pause, darek is back with a new vinyl edition, perfect for the start of the mild and sweet sunny days! this time, the swiss/argentinean label offers something smooth and fresh. sakro who is a young producer from mexico, delighted us with these deep house gems. for the vinyl, he produced two original tracks, one of them is featuring asylum. we are also very lucky to have sierra sam, marcus vector as well as the midnight perverts featuring gionny on board, for the remixes! but now, lets talk about the music…

if we add a new label to electronic music, is it really needed, wasnt music originally unlabeled? - lads contemporary productions could be called anticipated techno, architect techno, or architechno. these two tracks are simply brilliant and beyond what i have heard to date. the way lad is building space procures the feeling to be part of the music, to be in it, swallowed by it. >isolate< and >bergvall< are just two hypnotizing masterpieces, transporting you into unknown and untamed territories. deep, soulful, cinematographic, intriguing, moving. my drug is music. from 2d to real 3d chills. vanina hänin woods, forests, deep and dark spaces, like if kubrick, kurosawa and marinetti would have gathered together to produce music, simply highly cinematographic and futuristic. lad builds up organic visions, redefying sound in such a personal way. definitively two superb, soulful, finely shaped and constructed electronic pieces which will undoubtedly make you dance the night away. (dan lagardere)

limited turbo 12 that showcases two of the choicest cuts from crowdpleasers debut album!

after >echo life< and >night impact< mirror peoples third release >reaction!/odyssey< is out now on social disco clubs hands of time label. this 12 inch reinforces rui maias ability in crossing over his trademark synth skills with his love for emotional and melodic dancefloor movements. both tracks fuse recognizable patterns and intriguing ones where the cold teutonic meets far-eastern harmonies in a cool piano induced crescendo. as for the two remixes, tiago miranda provides a buzzing hypnotic >zawa dub< of >reaction!< and jacques renault a rhythmical stomping >odyssey< version

shocks is a project by northern italian dj/producer wanmhope with his occasional partner-in-crime max dolphy. while fundamentally simple in approach, the dynamic maintains a deceivingly complex harmony and disharmony rendering a visceral, sometimes violent listening experience. waves of feedback, distortion, frantic guitar noodling, vocal collage and field recordings soar like an ominous cloud over primitive, hedonistic rhythms. this, the first of two shocks vinlys preceding the full-length, sets the tone, serving as your marinade before youre thrown to the lions

deep space orchestra have been carving out a very nice name for themselves over the past year, and alongside the likes of cottam and krl it&#700,,,s safe to say that they are helping to establish an exciting new movement of raw, detroit-inspired house. the diy approach is very much a part of their ethic, as is the underground feel and aesthetic which imbues their own use of weapons label as well as their recent releases on similarly minded vinyl-orientated labels such as foto and kirk degiorgio&#700,,,s legendary art. the release we have here is perhaps their most refined music yet, showing a development in their production level on two tracks which are brimming with a warmth and fatness whilst retaining that critical raw edge which only a handful of the most exacting producers seem capable of. lo pan builds around a fat, bouncing bass line and a brilliantly lilting groove created by straight 808 hats and shuffling shakers. the feel keeps shifting throughout the song, sometimes superswung, sometimes straight and driving, all the while simple detroit strings build and analogue arps are layered up building the tension in the arrangemen

jeremy glenns >new life ep< is filled will sun-drenched euphoria, it comes bearing soul, embraces jeremys natural pop sensibilities and celebrates the underground scene thats shaped him as a dj. the title track takes us down to the beach with its 90s pads and thumping bass line to hang out with mitch buchanan, >found a love< reminds us of a rare vintage cut that the revenge or jacques renault dig up (check that acid line!) while >overtime oozes of prince. alex barck of jazzanova also rolled out a cheeky feel good remix of new life. its sure to make you grab a partner, throw them into a twirl or two and play an air bass guitar. already jeremy glenn has shared the decks with james murphy, tensnake and andy butler as well as performing live alongside dam-funk, aeroplane, and alexander robotnick. check the video by dakota of >new life< and take in all 80s boobs, 90s muscle, yachts and tiger fades

set time-dials to 2011 and engage. here we have two slick, italian producers bottin and rodion, they both may have (professionally) lost their first name, but they sure both make up for that with their italian style and extra analog-burbleness. their original vocoder nugget and dub both feature on the vinyl. for remix action we teleport over to argentina where toomy disco (a pretty spacey name already) delivers us some remix action. slick grooves, flowing bass guitar and more shine than a sparkly new saturn 5.
unless an intergalactic born space-plague fuses our brains back to reality, expect more cosmic lunacy in 2012. get your submissions in now producers.

the first of two eps, this one featuring the original plus shy fx remix. skream literally doesnt rest. quite clearly the south london dj and producer loves what he does, and what he does involves constantly challenging the ever changing musical landscape before him. the last 18 months has seen skream release two highly anticipated albums – his second solo album >outside the box< released on tempa in august last year and magnetic mans debut album, which sees him partnered alongside fellow dubstep pioneers benga and artwork.

reissue - cass mccombs, singer-songwriter born in northern california in 1977 and currently residing somewhere in that state, is set to release wit’s end, his fifth-and-a-half album and third on domino, on april 11th. the result of two years recording in various homes and studios in california, new york, new jersey and chicago, wit’s end was produced by cass with ariel rechtshaid, with whom he also created catacombs.sounds that conjure the colors purple and black, this is his darkest record to date. it seems he is going deeper into the mania of a man buried alive inside his self-made catacombs, banging the stone walls, crying to be let out, and enjoying the quiet away from the outside world. however, he is not a man afraid of his own shadow, for in this environment of complete darkness, no shadows can be cast. this is a world of total feeling. here, words become a catalyst away from the slavery of arbitrary thought and toward feeling.

two massive hits from the past which have been brought back into the light of the day by michael mayer.

last year put leeds-based producer midlands (aka harry agius) name on the map with his successful collaboration with hessle audios ramadanman, >your words matter< on aus music. this year, aus label chief will saul has invited midland back to take a solo swing. its an excursion that explores the boundaries of 2-step, uk garage and techno and consists of two original tracks. on the a side >through motion< shows midlands ability to seamlessly take the spirit of uk garage and fuse it with techno. the tracks moody piano melody is punctured by a dark, pitch-shifted vocal and encircled by the warm atmospherics that have become his trademark. on the flip side is >shelter<, a brooding and cavernous affair whose vocals and whispery atmospherics make this the perfect late night tool.

sonicultures label boss expander kicks it with an ep that will rock the most demanding dance floors. oh yes, the sweet sound of techno fills our ears with joy as we listen to two original tracks and a remix from well-known producer tadeo. >the waggler< is a bass driven ride on a roller coaster of madness. nifty synths and processed sounds are combined and mixed in a progressive manner, leading to a journey where flows of energy go different ways. the moments are there. the music is powerful. as it should be. spains own techno master tadeo from cyclical tracks, delivers another approach to >the waggler<, making it more pumping and enhanced with a touch of retro and a combination of futuristic sounds. a great remix from one of the most talented producers in the current scene. with >the wiggler<, expander rides towards a more hypnotic direction, still fuelled by heavy basslines and analogue sounds. the synth arrangements are totally mental and there is a sweet touch of darkness to the composition that makes everything even more interesting. are you a waggler or a wiggler? the choice is your

the response to sven kacireks album the kenya sessions (pingipung 20) was overwhelming. the cooperation between the drummer-producer from hamburg and musicians from kenya links electroni- ca with african recordings in a unique, exciting fa- shion. it therefore has been and still is being praised in various scenes from techno to jazz to world mu- sic. the cd will receive the award preis der deut- schen schallplattenkritik in may 2011, category: nu and extreme. also friends of the label have been enthusiastic about e quality of this material. pingipung therefore re- leases a 10inch vinyl with reworks of the album in the end of may. lawrence, hamburgs most melancholy house artist, co-owner of the labels dial, smallville and laid dedicates himself to the track kayamba tuc tuc. he reduces the track to its essen- ce, without adding anything new, and edit full of wisdom with heartfelt warmth. taprikk sweezee is the best known moniker of the musician nikolai von sallwitz next to gizmog or fussel . taprikk sweezee builds his soul glitch beats with ease, and he is by the way the most convincing electronic performer we know these days. one single track was not enough for his mix. wed love to see him dance with all the kenyan musicians who play on his two originals of choice, kayamba tuc tuc and mariae. furthermore on this 10inch: a rework of paperflowers by sven kacirek himself, created in cooperation with samy de- luxe producer sebastian winkler. finally, less a bonus but maybe the secret highlight: the ex- clusive sven kacirek track takaye village!

siwell is back again with two hot techhouse tracks including a superb remix from heartik (greatstuff, kling klong, blufin) - go on sphera. ***ltd coloured vinyl***

played by: len faki, hot chip, seth troxler, terence fixmer, zdar, technasia, deetron, dj feadz, joris voorn,... darkroom dubs re-issue two early 90s techno monsters ! we are delighted and honoured to have the opportunity to re-release two of our all time favourite records on darkroom dubs. both really shaped our love and appreciation of electronic music when we first heard them at the arches and the sub club. ..

italian techno heavyweights markantonio and rino cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is junction hands. revolution is back is the first full release under the junction hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent the napoli connection ep on adam beyers drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet. the title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but its the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive. the equally hypnotic and driving thing for hands follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of noise while the groove relentlessly works its magic. with junction hands theres yet another must-check name coming out of the neapolitan scene.

system of survival bring forth their latest vinyl release and look to pay homage and celebrate the italian club scene and music of the 1990s, with their brand new production, the aptly titled, >italia 1990<. their 14min treatment encapsulates the feeling and atmosphere of those first underground parties, where a deep, dirty and jackin melting pot of chicago house and detroit techno, opened the eyes, ears and minds. including those of system of survival. a mighty original deserves a equally large remix package, and the label have delivered with aplomb. sos have called upon their ibiza-based buddies jose de divina & javi murdok and nima gorji, who in turn deliver two beautifully deep reworks that could grace any a-side.

one night stand is jam factorys third release, a collaboration with new york-based vocalist mattie safer (formally of the rapture) over two 12 inches. this first 12 inch features the original version - a piano-driven chicago style anthem with heavy drums and a touch of acid. mattie delivers a classic house performance in his own instantly recognisable style. on the flip are two different dubs, one an incessant barrage of pianos, the other a thick slice of acid. this release is only available on vinyl.

unos second release comes from montreals jacques greene. in his north american debut, we bring you two new tracks that reveal a darker, acid housed side of the lauded producer. lay it down unites bass swing with a floor shaking acid line thats known to make rooms dance like autism. new york house standards whatever/whatever give the flip side a jacking make over of 90s proportions. the hard hitting >what are you feelin< (which has been received much uk in the past year, including mary ann hobbs bbc show) finishes off the 12 inch, builds up the grand finale, after which you might find yourself in a puddle of something wet, wondering where greene went.

outstanding explorative techno for the fearless, comes in killer gatefold sleeve - absolutely & highly recommended!

gigolo welcomes rampa & re.you aboard to the roster for the double-whammy of feet and provoking, two beastly tracks designed to suck you onto the dancefloor like a swirling maelstrom of black tar!!

nice price deal !!! we are very proud to announce the debut release of a truly outstanding new musical project called >the goon show<. not much is known about this project, as the tracks reached us totally out of the blue, so to speak. the project consists of two experienced electronic wizards situated in berlin and is the first joint effort in the music world. their debut 12 inch features the wonderful and almost impossible to categorize track >angel band<, or as american music journalist philip sherburne put it:> the production on is really spongy and weird and enveloping, and the voice works so well with it, , this is really good, and i dont say that lightly!<. further admirers and supporters are the djs and producers osunlade, efdemin, adultnapper and many others. >angel band< comes in three versions, an acappella, a dub and the blasting original. as a bonus track, which is not just a b-side, but would be an amazing a-side on many other releases comes the beautifully melancholic >the grass<, of which our dear friend aksel schaufler aka superpitcher has said: >i love it and was in tears while listening to -the grass- !< . limited copies, get them while they re out there!

the black tokyo project cd has been very successful for the enigmatic duo from detroit along with their two new japanese members ice truck and erika. remix sessions 1 embodies some of techno music hottest and charismatic artist such as bpitch control ellen allien, planet es keyboard guru niko marks from detroit and canada live impresario arthur oskan. ellen allien remix real to reel gives a tight minimal beat driven retake on an aux 88 funky groove. rounding out side a aux 88 original previously only available on the full length cd. side b shows why niko marks can take the >title track black tokyo< in a more kraftwerken sort of way with heavy beautiful strings and funkified groove. soul of black shows arthur oskan dance production skills as he delivers a bonafide minimal bass driven delight.
