after the warmly received part one of golden age thinking it is now time for part 2. this one is all about a banging club track on the a side theme a relentless pounding groove and 2 deeper cuts the chugging flatlining and the tranquil these feelings on the flip. we dont believe too much in describing them to you further than this but we hope you will agree they are quite special.

efdemins vinyl outlet naïf breaks the silence with another double-feature record. side a features his longtime partner in crime rndm with the atmospheric track >recover<. side b finally brings another really nice natural psycho-groove from grimes adhesif.

the golden gate ep is dedicated to powder & louders favourite club: the golden gate in berlin. the infamous golden gate is well known at berlins party people and rumoured to be opened the whole weekend long. the chosen two, who are golden gate residents at the fish n slips night, created the zeit ist gate anthem in their unique style. next up is der e-kreisel, owner of spoiler music and great live performer. his funked up welcome to golden gate is a nice peak time roller and will heat up any frozen dance floor around. funkenstroem from symbionten/symbiont-music comes with a deep tech house version of der e-kreisel’s welcome to golden gate song. the symbioten are well known in berlin’s nightlife for hosting great nights (and mornings) at golden gate and releasing quality underground music!

part one of session victims haunted house of house sampler is already going down an absolute storm with the likes of dop, james teej, catz n dogz and tornado wallace declaring it >superb<, >inspiring<, >fantastic<, and bloody ripping, respectively. nows the time for part two containing four more cuts of the good stuff and by now you know what we are talking about here, deep, sample-heavy, rough around the edges but smooth in all the right places. basically good oldfashioned instrumental moods and grooves which will appeal equally to those old enough to remember the golden era of pork recordings as it will to the hip young vinyl heads with a nose for anything disco. enjoy, support and keep them peeled for the final installment part three coming very soon

limited restock on this 1997 classic by anthony rother aka psi performer.

joey negro is the most well-known pseudonym of master british dj/producer/remixer dave lee. under a plethora of other monikers including jakatta, akabu, doug willis, raven maize, the sunburst band, sessomatto, and z factor, dave was one of the first artists to incorporate disco samples in house music when he began his production career in 1988. indeed, he was in the studio making credible and outstanding british house music when many luminaries around him were still busy getting to grips with their decks. in 2011 little has changed and dave is widely regarded as one of the most commercially successful and in-demand artists on the global scene

the second release from leipzig based rose records comes with tracks by m.ono, luvless and martin hayes. once again a strictly limited vinyl-only edition of 250 numbered copies.

limited edition double vinyl in gatefold cover. part 1 of this special collection of rare 1970s dance music, compiled and re-edited by al kent.

acperience - two decades edition robert babicz spacefunkmix. stunning remix from robert babicz of the classic track >acperience 1<! roberts musical output is inspiring and staggering. a true one-man operation,he writes, records and performs solo commanding an ever-expanding touring schedule, tailoring the music he creates to the cities he visits. but thats only part of the puzzle, babiczs art is comprised of more than just his music. he films everything. using his music to open doors and build relationships with people in only the way music can, he then records his experiences and interaction on film, both still and moving, later editing the images together as a picture track to his audio. the b-side is a freshly remastered version of the original.

die neue powder & louder scheibe beinhaltet die zwei brandneuen dance floor raketen ?der glockenkopf? und ?sanchos sunrise?, für welche es bereits unterstützung von aka aka, pizeta, rené bourgeois und lars wickinger gibt. auf der b-seite warten die beiden chosen two klassiker ?durchzug? und ?nebenluft? auf euch, immer noch frisch und startklar für die vinylwelt. auch diese beiden tracks wurden von artists wie hanne & lore, pascal feos und malente supported und lassen weder augen noch ohren trocken.

two dogs in a house is steve summers and ron morelli (l.i.e.s) meanest project to date. rising from the delay saturated muck, pushing the red, straight forward and to the point with no time to waste, these brooklyn dogs started with a simple modus operandi as to make effective, psychedelic tracks that they would want to hear on a proper club system. and you do want to hear dogs anthem in a proper soundsystem. a fat one. rather than a decent follow up to their l.i.e.s. ep, this 12? is an statement by itself, sounding more experimental and raw ?if that?s possible than its predecessor. it evokes chicago, detroit, and industrial records equally, but do not get mixed up: this is a weapon designed to tear dancefloors apart! limited copies , hand numbered.

second part of the 5 years semantica compilation. happy birthday!

despite the post-industrial label often affixed to factory floor, there is a greater complexity of sound within the bands music that defies such facile descriptions. yes, there are rigid, fixed beats, and other sounds from the manufacturing plant, as suggested by the trios moniker. but there is also an underlying danceability that belies the seeming austerity of the sound, a hint at warmth that cuts through the permafrozen exterior. that curious balance has paid endless dividends thus far: they have been remixed by producer gavin russom, liars angus andrew and no ages dean allen, remixed and released by optimo, remixed and collaborated live with throbbing gristle legend chris carter, and remixed and produced (!) by joy division and new orders stephen morris. its been a whirlwind few years in terms of musical accolades, and factory floors dfa debut is a glimpse into why.

here comes the second part of french team lowkey & kardinals electrovino series!
the first part is nicely rockin the floors around the globe and found its way into many cases (or better said file-lists) of many djs from small to big! the second part follows the path with another rocker called oroborus (the name taken from an ancient greek tale of a dragon eating his own tail !) with a kind of tech-housy but techno bangin feel to it, bringing back the old casio organ sound. followed by two versions of indian summer, one in its more smoother original version and the second in a very nice prime time techno version by kardinal himself!

limited to 500 - all on transparent vinyl.
we are delighted to announce the release of outfits first single >two islands<. we first heard the band a few months ago with their dark mini-narratives >killer< and >every night i dress up as you<. while those two songs offered a slightly hidden introduction to the group their subtle transmissions step out into plain view on >two islands<. the song is slow building, euphoric, and meditates on loneliness, absence and the constant flickering of real life.

fresh from his huge shawty 12 inch on onemans 502 recordings, teeth continues helsinkis 2011 invasion with swarm/shift/sequence/spawn. spread over 2 pieces of vinyl, teeths heavy 808 usage manages to land somewhere between early dmz & source direct. limited copies with full artwork.

3 techhouse tracks mit spaßiger attitude

the latest jett records release comes from hi freaks and rotary cocktail artist larsson with two original cuts on the vinyl, >full flavour< and >you can try that< and also a digital bonus >white leaf<. >full flavour< is a techno and hypnotizing track fitted for the dancefloor. on the remix patrick kunkel injects dub and reggae atmosphere and gives a jamaican smoke taste to the original. on the flip the original of >you can try that< smells the summer walk in the fields with a fresh touch of jazzy wind. lownza goes deeper on the remix adding some dirty grooves which transports us directly from green grass to grey streets. last but not least larsson offers a digital bonus track which perfectly relax your body and mind...

ultraphat prime time floor techno !!!

terror danjah finally returns to the airwaves with his first new material since 2010s >undeniable< album on hyperdub. the masssively-anticipated >full attention< is the first step in the resurrection of his patented rhythm & grime sound, the style he made his name with in the early noughties with vocalists like shola and sade ama. this time out, ruby lee ryder is his voice of choice, and her distinctive vocal has already landed the track on the bbc 1xtra playlist, with further spins on radio 1 and rinse fm, and its a fixture in the boxes of djs like skream, mistajam and target. advance club promo has generated a ridiculously positive response right across the board, with hard support from brackles, swindle, alex nut, blackdown, wylie, and many many more, setting the scene for >full attention< to become an anthemic club and commercial hit as soon as it reaches the shops. on the flip mr danjah drops his trademark gremlinz logo for two 8 bar grime smashes that have been doing the rounds on rinse fm for the last half year. >east village< is a toast to the nights hardrive label hosted at the london club of the same name, and >jeckle & hyde< (exclusive to this 12 inch) has been battered in the raves by logan sama, zomby, and elijah & skilliam just to name only a few. this marks the beginning of a hefty release schedule for the grime kingpin including more high-impact singles and remixes on the way for greensleeves, butterz and hyperdub.

hand stamped and numbered - limited to 300 copies worldwide!
given the challenges of todays music market, its a fairly bold statement for an indie label to come out of the box with not one, but two vinyl only releases by an artist with no profile to speak of, but here black light smoke proves worthy of the faith being placed in him. sat001 switchback/black stripe is all old school drum machines, tape-hiss, heavy footed disco kicks, acid-a-plenty and funk-to-spare, but the tracks transcend the rawness of their roots to achieve a modern, club-ready edge with retro flair.

hand stamped and numbered - limited to 300 copies worldwide!
on sat002 lovework/decisions, black light smoke shows off his pop sensibilities with two sing-a-long summer anthems-in-the-making. lovework is a no-wave-inspired ditty littered with catchy analog synths, an ass-shakin bassline and reverbed claps juxtapozed with a haunting processed vocal from the producer himself that repeats, >you made a mess of my head. now i gotta put it all back together. theres nothing to say, over and over…< which is how this tune will be playing in your head after one listen. on the flip we get a taste of black light smoke in deep house mode with decisions, a lustrous and vibey joint that features a sweeter vocal by suavecito, a new guise of dj/producer and vocalist who is well known by another name. here more analog synths produce wickedly buoyant bass lines and swirling pads that combine with bubbly piano stabs and little vocal sample/edits for what sounds like it could have been a naked music release had the label been operating in 1990.

piemont vermischen auf ihrem neuen album hörbar verschiedene stilrichtungen und bringt eine durch und durch harmonische sprache zur geltung. >sand hills< überzeugt als techno-album mit elementen aus house und funk und integriert dabei eine vielzahl an melodien und realen instrumenten. eine breite palette an akzenten erlaubt jedem zuhörer diese musik zu verstehen und auf wunsch auch zu (er)leben, denn „sand hills“ spricht mit geist und körper.

their debut three tracker ep has a theme running through it.. yup, its all about sides. first up is a riff you may well know from trevor horn and fgth. they take the tribe groove, slow it down and strip the groove back. using just the riff from the famous 80s monster hit they cunningly carve out >two sides< as their sultry opener. next up >by my side< enlists the help of the handily associated brass section. shuffling grooves, stabby horns and muted picked guitar are the order of the day. its a perfect one for those early dj-set appetizing sections. to round things off we tone it down even further with the beautiful >by my side<. subtle tones, lazy keys and a smouldering groove. when the keys kick in during the last minute its a glorius and sublime treat. stay tuned for more sides.

whatpeopleplay reels in another biggie for their second release: >western starland< is surely one of the signature tunes by tech-funk luminary john tejada and his long-time collaborateur ariane leviste. originally released in 2001 on his palette imprint this is one of those tunes that never leave the crates of many djs and if you have been dancing anywhere in the last 10 years you will surely instantly recognize those synthetic string chords. tejada himself gets busy here and revamps the also included original with a brand-new 2011 mix: the original signature elements are right there from the start but fused with a beefy house beat, a new bassline, a hissing soul organ and lifted to the next plateau by thundering staccato chords in a classic detroit style. the flip holds the glorious original plus the not any less brilliant john tejada vip mix from 2003.

on indigos second release, scottish techno hero stephen brown (transmat / subject detroit) delivers 4 amazing detroit flavoured tracks. supported and played by ben sims, rolando, dvs1, vince watson.. nice packaging too! handstamped to 250 copies.

a house classic back in stock, featuring remixes by junior jack and paul raw.

blackest ever black returns for 2011 with a new ep of crushing, sensuous darkwave pop from tropic of cancer follow up to the two much-loved 10inchs on downwards, >the dull age< and >be brave< tropic of cancer is the la-based duo of camella lobo and juan mendez. mendez is best known as silent servant, venerable techno producer, former cytrax boss and core member of the sandwell district collective. with lobo he makes raw, visceral music in the loose tradition of minimal synth, post-punk, industrial and goth, produced with authority and a supremely evolved grasp of spatial arrangement.

two inch punch is from west london. he describes himself as a frustrated soul / rnb singer, with an ear for harmony, melody & a love for dub, rap and soul. inspired heavily by beatles short love-songs, sam cookes heartfelt melodies and donny hathaways incredible vocal tones.
this is an incredible debut from someone destined for big things. you heard it here first!
