searle comes back to mowar for his second release. while his mind transfer ep was a darker workout, his new she moves ep show a deeper dubbed side of his productions. the title track perfectly combines the dub aesthetics and simple basic channel effectiveness with sweet infatuating stabs and scapes. this ones for the deeper and more sensual moments on the dancefloor. melancholy goes even deeper emotionally layering a steady slightly jacking rhythm with edgy melancholic atmospherics and melodies. on the flipside russ gabriel, who remixed on the very first mowar release back in 2008, reworks she moves in a stripped hypnotic mover, slightly more thumping for those sexy hips. last track tunneling is what searle would call a 5 am groover for the die-hards who want to be embraced by the sensuality of deep emotional techno.

for some time now the bar25 label has wanted to put out a release with all of our swiss musician friends – the many folks who came to the swiss weekends at the bar and generally made a habit of visiting us in berlin. the bar always had a deep swiss connection, manifested not least in the legendary swiss cabin, home away from home to larger groups of visiting friends and monday evening after-hour hotspot. alpenglühen – feines aus der schweiz (alp glow – swiss bliss) is a swanky double vinyl of high-quality production art made in switzerland. on vinyl 1, animal trainer from hive audio share a side with andri, the zurich native. techno gladiator wandler and live artist canson play the other side, while vinyl 2 lets two matadors from the new zurich club friedas büxe – don ramon and san marco – steer for a while. and the two music geniuses from galoppierende zuversicht are also here, fittingly, using sounds recorded live at friedas büxe for their track. the sampler concludes with the exceptionally talented mastra, who contributed a special song to this swiss musical collage. the digital release also comes with a bonus live track by sublime stage band rizzoknor. even the cover was designed in switzerland, during a bar25 night at the legendary cabaret in zurich. were all excited about this release since its a special one for the 25 label. marked both by good old times and new horizons, this record is a musical compilation representing the very special kind of artist that will always be welcome in wild berlin!

ltd red coloured vinyl edition... for this release, we have a very special cooperation to show off with: cassegrain & tin man ! cassegrain are greek-british producer alex tsiridis and berlin/vienna based composer and producer hüseyin evirgen. with a well developped sensitiveness the duo designs futuristic and dark techno sound- scapes with a strong experimental touch. tin man is another outstanding artist and the second half of this collaboration. with his releases on cheap records, global a and the sähkö-sub label keys of life he proved well, how easily he can switch between strong classic acid and abstract, postmodern songwriting. the tracks that resulted from this very special collaboration, are exactly what you might expect: an ideal and unique combination of modern dark techno as it comes from labels such as prologue or stroboscopic artefacts and classic acid. some of them aim directly at the dancefloor, some come along rather dreamy and spaced out. perfect for killekill.

satoshi tomiie biggest hit was >tears<, a collaboration with frankie knuckles that was released on ffrr back in 1989. the release of the single was a ground breaking moment, at a time when the huge movement of house and techno was in its infancy. more than 20 years later and satoshi has just completed the building of his brand new studio in new york city. with his focus having been firmly on his dj touring for many years,interspersed with releases and remixes, its now time for the saw recordings boss to enjoy his very own new flight deck. straight up is a track that displays the true and original acid house sound! says systematic boss marc romboy of the first single to come out of tomiies studio. having immediately snapped up the tune for the label he called his good friend alex niggemann in berlin who, sharing his friends opinion and love of the track, spontaneously set about producing his own interpretation.

black belt disco choppers marvin & guy board the runaway lets get lost train with two housed up disco edits under their hats. two very well known tracks get a very unexpected dose of medicine and the prognosis is very good indee

if you like the sound of cheap analog synthesizers from the mid 80s, drum machines and strangely pitched human voices this might be the record for you. a small warning about the quite melodic and poppy arrangement, it is not minimal, nor pure drones. sorry. estelle ep has nothing to do with the car Škoda estelle, even though some instruments used on the songs were produced during the same years. estelle ep is more or less a result of the new kranglan broadcast hardware studio environment. the plan was simple: to get rid of the machines that were not being used and to make the rest communicate with each other. this resulted in some very fine jams where realtime feelings and spontaneous ideas were converted into music. each track is its own moment in time.

the majestys pleasure label returns after an extended break with their fourth issue of disco-centric edits and its clear the time out of the spotlight has left this mystery bunch of dusty fingered tweakers fully refreshed. whilst previous volumes have dipped toes in funk filled and philly string led waters, majestys pleasure vol 4 focuses fully on music from the post-disco /proto-house period of the 1980s and sounds very much like a beautiful swimmers dj set condensed into just 12 inches of vinyl. the concerted diggers out there will be consulting their sample notes for the source material on each of these (space palace has the most obvious hook) whilst those whove simply been enjoying output from the intermittent eros label will love both sides here

the constant carousel like shift of unreleased tracks on his soundcloud and sporadic twitter sessions, south london ordnance relishes his clandestine, shady persona, keen to allow his craft to act as spokesman instead. following early support from electronic musics matriarch mary anne hobbs, a marauding mixtape for glasgows luckyme earlier this year and big support from mosca, hackman, dark sky and tessela, the amount of hype surrounding this south london (obviously) based beatsmith has been ridiculous. and we are very pleased to say this is his debut release, and a killer 12 inch to pop his recording cherry!

so, who is this mysterious afefe iku? after absolutely destroying the dancefloors all year long with his infamous bootleg of radioheads >everything in its right place<, which he smartly put out in extremely limited amounts of vinyl around the same time his mentor, osunlade, featured his cover of that very same song on bbes >exit music: songs with radio heads<. in all honesty afefe remains a mystery even to us. so, let us start by saying who afefe isnt. unfortunately, for those who thought he was osunlade, you are mistaken, but dont feel ashamed, because afefe creates at osunlades studio in santorini, which makes sense to pinpoint him as osunlade.

the german band the audience was founded in 2003 in nürnberg and released their first album >celluloid< on the cult independent-label hazelwood in 2007. soon after the five-piece was signed by one of the biggest german booking agencies fkp-scorpio, which sent them on tour throughout europe where they proofed to be one of germanys most incredible and exciting live acts. their current album >hearts< was recorded in a big music hall over the period of one year. the aim was to catch both energy and emotions of an authentic live-on-stage situation. the recordings document the audiences most intense, dynamic and sophisticated moments, without losing their very own feeling for catchy melodies.

welcome return for this very sought-after rare electro 12 inch from tiny harlem label express records. big with the cosmic crowd as well as on the early hiphop scene, this is an extremely cool low-slung synth-heavy electro groover with a hypnotically smooth lead vocal, given a sharp percussive edge by the rattling congas and ticky-time chorus. written at a time in rap music history when the introduction of synthesizer technology created a wild flurry of creativity, this futuristic track by barry michael cooper (who went on to write the screenplays for movies new jack city and above the rim) was teletrons only ever release. film s gain was sadly musics loss as this was, and still is, a boundary-pushing, floor-filling monster. dont sleep!

hello berlin is the second release of samuel fach on tonkind. with his first one he made already a successful debut start. and for sure hello berlin should not stay behind. like the titel tells us, it is a tribute to his new home town. since last summer he is now a child of this wonderful city and this release suppose to be his first musical reflection to what he experienced there, so far. like on the first release, samuel fach shows his talent for a multicolored and very origin sound. all emotions have been bunched here, esspecialy in firts of may we got an essence of his affinity for happy melancholy. on the top... with a very cool kotelett & zadak remix of hello berlin, he got the right support from berlins men on the spot.

with surprise cut on center ... after the success of the first release, tanstaafl returns for their second wax adventure, this time with the musical renegade dj october at the helm. october has entered a new phase of production for the tanstaafl series and has focused himself firmly on a reduced, stripped and effective formula for the floor. his productions are heavy, smoked out narcoleptic dub infused journeys, and his latest 12 offers more or less of the same opaque vibe but with his sights firmly set on the floor, with one foot in the past and the other in the future - drawing from his usual detroit, nyc and chicago influences. so we kick off 2012 with a future classic, singularity jump, which douses you in synthesized saxophone hooks, chopped vocal samples and a meaty juno hip-house inspired bass-line.planet of minds is more of a inner space affair very much inspired by acid and dub. successfully combining the two, october injects more of an airy feel into the mix and delivers a moody cosmic acid jam that will not fail your dancing feet or tripped-out mind. definitely one for the later hours.this is going to be an anthem, hands down, so get it before its gone for good.

aura go rises, opens, rouses not unlike a soft light growing to illumination, a day slowly revealing itself. synths whisper and ring out – like bells marking an early hour – at the start, followed by a succession of other awakenings: a palpitating beat, vocalizations that repeat like undulations, percussive poundings and ringings. it all leads to full on, acid-infused, dance floor hypnosis, with producer dennis dj mcnany pushing polyrhythmic, almost tribal beats to the very front. with the addition of husky vocals from collaborator jee young sim – imagine siouxsie sioux crossed with planningtorock – the sound becomes something altogether, and altogether unexpectedly, gorgeous.

etruria beat presents a very special release produced by the two partners of the label, luca agnelli & marco faraone.a full ep that includes two different original tracks, that reflect their personality behind the decks, and two remixes by renowned producers of the international underground scene, robert dietz and lauhaus

tresor records marks its 250th release with a very special project indeed. continuing to forge ahead whilst remaining ever mindful of its legacy, tresor proudly presents infiniti - the remixes: a trilogy of classic cuts and new reworks from one of its original detroit linchpins juan atkins. dubbed as his pure techno project, atkins produced two full-length albums under the infiniti moniker-the infiniti collection, released by tresor in 1996, and skynet two years later. 16 years on and they are as relevant today as they were pioneering then, brought further up-to-date here with a series of fresh takes from some of technos pioneering and esteemed figures: thomas fehlmann, tv victor, function, redshape, sleeparchive and the re-release of dubtechno vanguard moritz von oswalds remix of >think quick<, originally released in 94 on metroplex. part two picks up the pace, heading further down the timeline with >flash flood< - originally released in 1995 as part of one of the labels famous annual compilations, re-edited by sandwell districts function. skynets punchy classic on the flip, >skyway< rounds off the ep with a killer old-school remix by technos masked crusader redshape.

killer vocal-led detroit-inspired electro 3-tracker from miotek on his new seven sisters imprint. hailing from the small latvian town of ogre, where after post soviet union regime time, djing traditions became strong very fast. raised by local djs on chicago and detroit sounds of mid 90s, miotek been involded in to the electronic music and started to develope his djing and producing skills aswell as promote first illegal raves in town with his crew of like minded people.there wasnt anything impossible for young boy of 16, full of energy,inspiration and desire to play & make music, everything went forward very quickly: acceptance on latvian dj scene, uncountable events, club residences and radio shows. after 11 successful years on the local latvian fields in 2010 he deside to move to the next level and moving to uk where started to work on his record label seven sisters records,

label like soma records, universal, get physical and also highgrade, all contribute to the impressive credentials of the spaniard, prompts breathtaking live sets and releases. but prompt, himself the founder of his own label 7noise, is never one to rest on his laurels: instead he continues to push boundaries with his new live project: the prompt live band, a fusion of electronic sound production and jazz. this is not the first such step for the clasically trained musician, with his onuba project he has already mixed the flamenco sound of home country with electronic music. the three tracks to be released on highgrade records, created in collaboration with the chop suey quartet, bring to life what would appear to be almost impossible: a real connection between the highly concentrated nature of electronic rhythms and the loose and improvised sounds of jazz instrumentation. the result is a very special kind of studio jam session: victor tarín on piano, david blanco on bass, daniel del val on the drums - and prompt on a computer! with so much pasion for musical innovation on show, its no wonder that highgrade co-boss todd bodine wanted to get his fingers into the pie and deliver his own remix for the ep

having hinted at upcoming collaborations on blkrtz over the last months in several interviews, deadbeat finally makes good on his promises offering an epic piece of heaviest dub business featuring the unmistakable vocoder stylings of canadian danuel tate of cobblestone jazz fame. title track lazy jane locks in a murderously tight 135 bpm steppers rhythm sure to appeal to fans of both the burial mix series and malas most head down exploits for dmz alike, with tates heaven streaking vocal elevating it to the realm of instant classic from the very first drop. the flipside s 909 dub meanwhile sends the originals synth and vocal lines deep into the echo chamber atop a reinforced version of the bass line and unrelenting 909 drum pattern to create the most classist, purified slice of big room dub techno you are likely to here all year.

i know u combines tribal rhythms, pounding bass, insistent synth stabs, some distressed dialogue and a insanely large crash in the most maniacal way imaginable for what has to be one of the most devastating and original tunes for a very long time. sparse and spacious but yet rhythmical and energetic, lxc manages the ultimate arrangement balancing act here. the intensity increases gradually as the track progresses, culminating in an all-out tribal war ! a modern day jungle masterpiece from one of the most under-estimated producers around. on the flip, senses finally unleashes a track that decimated the very first technicality all-nighter back in 2004. 8 years later and that power is still very much in evidence! everybody want go heaven. nobody want dead – taking influence from the 1990 film marked for death, senses builds a dense vibe here, thick with imminent danger. rolling drums soon give way to a energetic ride-heavy break and pounding sub-bass hits. drum rolls drop and mentasms screech before the storm begins to subside half way through. the respite is brief however and after a complete silence the track reassembles, beginning with some insane slow to fast mentasm pitching which continues as a dark, slick reece begins to build with mysterious atmospherics. the tension is cut by the return of the drums – rolling along at first, before the mentasms and subs hit hard again, signaling a percussive onslaught! jungle just got catapulted into 2012.

ross caiden is a new name on the scene already racking up some cracking releases. after giving us a remix of ryders >thirty five days< back in december, we now have an original ep from him.
>gunz in the hood< is a hat filled, heads down, groover. lewis ryder tweaks things with an indulgence of analogue synth work, keeping the peak time rawness.
>new york city gritty< sure does have the hustle & bustle of a large city. large room techno. with this, tom eales completely changes the sound, making a very warm & drifty mix.

its been a while since we have seen a release from dfrnt for on the edge, but im proud to announce, the wait is finally over! this ep provides us with an abundance of different flavours, but still retains the genius sound that is dfrnt at the very core of every tune. let me first draw to your attention to >the big freeze<. its a drum and bass track that has been moulded like a true pro. it sounds like dfrnt has been producing d+b for a long time with the finishes on this track, but believe its one of his earlier efforts. its a refreshing bpm for his take on electronic music and hope to hear more of the same from dfrnt soon. then dfrnt shows us what he is all about when he goes all out 4x4. a dirty, gritty techno roller (with a skip) that will blow your socks off! love the production on this one. then we have >monday morning<. this does exactly what it says on the tin, just the type of tune you need to bring you down after a heavy weekend. as though that wasnt enough, there is a 170 remix from man of the moment, indigo! support comes from: hatti vatti, synkro, versa, mary ann hobbs, kissy sell out, fused forces, loxy, dj rum, 501 and truth to name a few.

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!

dont be afraid present spargel trax, a two part series of vinyl-only, coloured, hand-stamped 12 inches designed to celebrate the dual themes of great seasonal music and great seasonal spargel. contributing tracks across the two 12 inchess are some of our favourite artists currently making house music. from established artists like disco nihilist, andy blake, sound species and james duncan to up and coming artists like david joseph from cologne, hodge from bristol, untitled-w from st. petersburg, for whom this is the first outing on wax, and scott fraser from glasgow. no clues though as to which is which, you?ll have to just listen to the tracks and hear for yourself! proof that 2012 is a great time for music, a great time for wax and a great time for spargel. spargel is very popular in the netherlands, spain, france, belgium, germany, and switzerland, and almost exclusively white. else, it is specified by the local language term for green asparagus. compared to the latter, the locally cultivated so-called white gold or edible ivory, also referred to as the royal vegetable, is less bitter and much more tender. freshness is highly regarded, and it must be peeled before cooking or raw consumption.

fourth wave are proud to announce the debut release of felix lenferink. hailing from the netherlands, felix looks set to follow in the footsteps of countrymen martyn, 2562 & 4ths very own presk with his techno heavy sound. delivering two tracks of percussive broken techno with cheeky synth stabs, first bouree strides into the club, necks some jagers, and proceeds to the dancefloor with great aplomb. second bouree is stranded in the middle of the dancefloor at 5am surrounded by strangers wondering what the fuck is going on.

all nite ep is the young mancunian waltons second set on hyperdub, after his very well received walton ep debut for the label in 2011. title cut >all nite< kicks it off with warm plucked strings, diva moans and lazer-like synths stretched to the point of anticipation over cracking grime handclaps and bass drums, until the track drops into a blocky bass line playing hide and seek with low arpeggios that spiral in and out of the mix, over a giant pounding metallic kick drum before layering on the warmth again. the whole track plays with a fine balance between warm, disco-like lushness and exuberant roughness. >mallet< is driving and darker, building detuned, bell-like tones over a 4/4 beat accented by breaks and fills and gaps, dropping into a big bass line and syncopations that disrupt the beat and bring the drama. >kush< is different again, taking the pace down with low end, synth hip hop with glassy chords, running over woozy pitch shifting rhodes chords fed through a layer of crackly gauze.

irish live act / release duo lakker join the blueprint label with their first release. slick shake inspired techno and electronic tracks. irish lads ian mc donnell and dara smith have been recording for some time as lakker with a number of releases for the likes lazybird, alphabet set, acroplane and most notably killekill. here we proudly present their first blueprint record in the form of the arc e.p. a superb mix of bass driven techno and electronica across the four tracks here but the office fave has to be a2s super-shuffling piano track -ed- which reminds very much of mid-period anthony shake shakir material from days long gone.
