wonder & amazement is a record ive had in various forms and incarnations from ex chicken lips members steve kotey & andy meecham for about a year now – a song that immediately grabbed me from the very first moment i heard it. reminiscent of days gone by mixed with a touch of the new - a song that contains a mixture of both the old classic and the new classic. ive been championing it for a while now either in sets or charts, even including it on a recent compilation i did. a record that we are proud to be able to use as a soundtrack to this new era of classic.

before the release of his debut album on ki, monokle throws in an ep to show us what to expect. the beautiful track >swan< pretty much describes perfectly what monokle means when he says that simple rhythms and catchy beats get him bored quickly. being influenced by the music of the british imprint warp for example, the sankt petersburg based artist has pretty much developed his own interpretation of well, what should it be called? it is monokle! he has his very own aesthetic approach to music and has a very fine hand for sublime melodies and atmospheres. on the b side he teams up with his friend and partner milinal. >swan< gets a proper retouch by daisuke tanabe, who shares monokles deep soundscapes and is just the right member of the ki family to get his hands on this ep.
pressing on transparent blue 10 inch vinyl.

badboe is back with the second ep from his upcoming album pump up the funk coming out in the end of 2012. 4 brand new hot funky jams from the funk master himself - all mixed up and road-tested to perfection. following up on the success of his one of those days ep which has topped the breakbeat charts on both digital and physical format.
badboe is one of the key players in the nu funk scene and with this release he is stepping well into the world of ghetto bass and electro vibes, but without loosing the funk and soul that he is so respected and loved for. this release is already getting support from some of the major players in the ghetto funk scene and has been very well received on a recent badboe tour to australia and new zealand.

the second of two eps from talented californian newcomer, tyler friedman, has now arrived. a night in the woods ep starts of as a murky rhythmic experiment. when released of its bound, it transforms into a hailstorm of sound that builds in melodic intensity towards a final climax. this is scenic and brave electronic dancemusic that over and over again will capture the focused listener. on the b-side rivet for sure push tyler towards berghain. but now the tool is somewhat different. rivet transforms the cinematic original into a very dirty and dry party stomper.

six artists remix the rich sound material from sven kacireks lp >scarlet pitch dreams< (pingipung 32, april 2012). svens original percussion recordings and his densely layered melodies invite for a rework which fo- cuses on the single elements. robert lippok (to rococo rot, raster noton) turns the title track into a balearic sunshine dance until the voice and synthlines evoke a deep and driving witchhouse at- mosphere. absolutely awesome remix! opiate aka thomas knak from denmark (morr music) is one of pingipungs favourite artists in the world and we are very happy to have his remix included here. his highly individual syncopating beat works dive into the pool of svens percussions, with the snare and marimba always in the foreground.

futuristic-funk starchild jimmy edgar returns with the third single to be taken form his recent album >majenta< out earlier this year on hotflush. this time edgar shoves is free-spirited sexual appetite in your face, with a slice of stripped-down, upfront electro-funk complete with j.g. ballard-inspired lyrics of car-crash sexual fetishism. alongside the original album cut, two alternate takes are reworked by a pair of producers at the very top of their game: jon convex and john talabot. whilst talabot creates an eerie and downright epic re-imagining through his combination of amazonian electronics and volume manipulation, the convex cut enhances the dance floor potential of the original with bubbling, arpeggiated 303 bass.

nice price deal !!! redux return from a winter hibernation and summer of partying with some more essential wax. grand corporation is the latest alias of andy meecham (emperor machine/chicken lips) and stevie kotey (bearfunk/chicken lips), features the incredible vocals of deborah bell, and really cements the reputations of two of scenes finest producers. the grand corporation sound is inspired by the very best dance music from detroit/chicago/new york, resulting in some raw, sleazy and soulful early house vibes. there may be bit of a trend for reproducing classic house sounds at the moment, but these guys are seriously qualified to do it and unlike a lot of their peers capture the essence of what made this music so exciting in the first place. free comes in vocal and instrumental versions, and with a superb bonus acid dub in the do it proper remix.

icu boy n dread has been making some serious waves of late and when you hear his music, it doesn’t take long to understand why. his debut here on smokin sessions is soulful and beautifully engineered. clean crisp highend frequencies tickle your ear drums and the low end cuts through with a weighty punch. all 3 tracks have been supported by the deep heads page and had a very positive response.

another piece of swissness here! long anticipated and finally here. animal trainers new ep for their very own piece of gold: hive audio. sure they were also featured on the 6 years hive compilation, made several quality remixes & released on labels such as pokerflat or stil vor talent, but its still special to present your music on the self-made label. besides 3 originals there is another very talented producer to find on this record. &me delivers like everytime. it looks like he started where the 2 guys from zurich finished. a lot of energy which comes together in a very strong beat which makes this one a dancefloor-thing for sure.

after his great debut single >wonderland< on deep circus, we are very happy to present florian gasperini >the crypt ep< on our imprint. florians productions are always very functional on the dance floor. with >the crypt< he underlines this again and presents us a dark but also very groovy tech house bomb. the release includes a great remix by patrick kunkel, which keeps the groove from the original, but without the dark atmosphere. the b-site track >alaska< is a beautiful house track, nice fit for the last summer nights.

ripperton & agnes are friends, very good friends, close friends. theyve simply striked again at something timeless, like their still remembered 1st collaboration, tchang beers, back in 2007. you can expect lush grooves, building up experienced house music along their superb and yet distinctive production style. groove and dedication are keys toward everything the two are musically crafting.this is vinyl exclusive until the last record is sold!

luv005 already and no doubt another classy four tracker that will top a few sales charts in the coming weeks and months. it has been a wonderful summer for the luv shack crew with every release bettering the last. the response and reaction to the new label has been astounding and beyond a pleasant surprise. with intelligent dance music such as this, it really shouldnt be such a surprise, but in a world of mass mediocre music, it does happen more often than not, that the good stuff doesnt always find its way. the guys though have found a place in a lot of hearts and quite a few tasty dj sets and record boxes with four very consistent releases. so, here we go with what is yet another worthy addition to any half decent djs repertoire me thinks. and it is lee stevens who teams up with local friends to deliver a very crafted set of aural niceness for your distinguished pleasure.

micatone come off with a true masterpiece of sophisticated pop with their new and fifth album >wish i was here< (released in march 2012). not only the music press and feuilletons but also old devoted and newly found fans agree: micatone never sounded better before. the second offspring off the album is a 2-tracker with two very special remixes. label mate stee downes takes on >sweet pain< as if it was his own track and kicks out a vivacious deep house stormer. there is no doubt that this remix will be in every bag of those djs that put some more emotions on the floor. the second remix was orderd in italy - in bologna to be exact. keemani and alex ferratti just started their new project blue mondays and now – with their rework of >just a boy< – promisingly launch their career to become the next in-demand remixers. they dont just lay a vocal track over a pre-programed beat, but use all of their devotion, accuracy and finesse to turn an already astonishing pop song into an anthem for everlasting nights. it is like preparing the perfect sugo: simmer exquisite ingedients for days until your mouth is watering. perfetto!

for our 40th release we are very pleased to welcome on deeply rooted house argentinas own jonas kopp (ostgut ton, curle, krill music, ear to ground, traut). this 4 tracks ep gives a good example of his diverse and still very defined techno recording skills. a side goes from the very straight forward and somehow mental reforce to the deep and abstract journey of proteus 81, while b side kicks of with the somehow balearic and positive green fingers to end up with the quest of light!

gtcm is back for a very special debut release by parisian artist low jack. at the crossroads between avant-garde techno-funk and a mischievous take on the sound of yesterday, low jacks clockmacker beats are channeled through a radiesthesia pendulum and the effects are akin to vertigo-inducing opiates of the strongest persuasion.

usually, the purpose of a piece like this is to tell other writers, music mag editors, distribution people and record shop clerks why they should like a certain release and buy, hype, review it. often these encomiums are not really honest and sometimes you even feel like attending an attempt to sell a flat tire. as for i:cubes new longplayer m megamix things are – of course! – very different. being its fifth solo album, an introduction of a man like nicolas chaix or even his biography (another popular brick of sales sheets) seems rather unsuitable. if you dont know what you should know, just use your internet search engine with any of these terms: chateau flight, versatile records, french touch, disco cubizm or parisian prodigy.

very limited release of only 222 copies by a famous & mysterious duo under the name dub people.

nice price deal !!! here comes a record that shouldnt have been released in the first place. who first started to circulate the cd-r with the blue inscription waiting for kim / we get high is totally unknown. the more known though, is who has been playing these two tracks, the one subtly uplifting, the other cranky dark, over the last few months. its still an unsolved riddle who is responsible for those two very divergent (but obviously coming from a single source productions. the fact that now these two tracks are coming out as a white label doesnt shed any more light on the affair either. but will please the dj and club world nonetheless.

its another first pets recordings as they not only welcome label debutant, a1 bassline, but also announce the production of their very first vinyl release.

the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!

moniker of 22-year-old brighton based charlie baldwin who cites steve reich & percussion heavy jazz as main influences for excursions into complex rhythmical territory. uses found sounds, live drums, synth & vocoder for unearthly beauty. kasket kicks off the ep with fallen, and it is apparent from the off that here is an artist very much ploughing his own unique furrow – the track has a polyrhythmic bounce that veers towards bhangra, tethered by a deep melancholic synth chord sequence and a heavily distorted vocoder.

society of silence is proud to present their very first lp! society of silence combines the forces of two great parisian artists and friends, benoît legrain or bny, and nicolas villebrun ? known as tite and for his production assistance with the electronic pop-rock group, poni hoax. signifying monkey plays around with its words just as much as its structure, while beat reading detroit takes us through a nostalgic journey into the collective subconscious of techno. the confluence of dark and euphoric energies conveyed here by s.o.s. capture the dangerous and thrill-seeking memories going to old-school raves and after-hours parties. deep and raw beginning to end..
