we are super excited to bring you the debut release from portugals finest, tiago miranda on his new label interzona 13. joo joo leads the charge with a sample slammer reminiscent of the dancefloor dynamite from japans cult major force label. on the flip, interzona is a precision percussion jam that gets hold and wont let go - pure voodoo. finally maquina dos sonhos wraps up this superb selection with a slice of tripped out balearia. wonderful stuff!

we are the ones with the courage to stand up and express our ideas. so many heroes have sold out, moved on, and turned their back on the detroit underground. if the true believers are waiting on the calvary then i guess cryovac will have to do. this is our fight whether we like it or not. we are a few like minds, not the alphas, never the favorites. we are the other guys, the ones nobody bets on, the least likely to survive a business. we know what the score will bring us, but there is an appointment and we mean to keep it. heroes must define themselves and then redefine themselves. each day that moves forward brings opportunities to tweak creations into what the now means. kieth kemp endures the elements and ailments of an ever changing electronic world. he is an original hero with a smooth technique that reflects an instinctual nderstanding of sound and soul. kieth represents a talent and spirit that does not falter no matter how strange a circumstance can get. he follows his own path to relavence. i am proud to welcome kieth to the cryovac machine.

limited pressing of 300!! mysterious bufiman and the glorious tim schumacher on the label that fully dedicate itself to the underground house sound. bufiman delivers two magical tracks that blend analogue disco, fantastic house and heavy tribal voodoo rhythms to create something very special in electronic dancemusic - we call it obscure discohouse, he calls it monkey b-boy-style. tim schumacher is representing on this record his very own interpretation of chicago-house and brings us three driving tracks that are rooting deeply in the love for analogue sound production of the late 80ies, no matter if its house, disco or synth-pop, but always with a very personal approach to what house-music is all about: emotions. on the last track no less than dj jakob from terpsiton/vfmm is jamming together with tim and two other friends in a dadaistic session

the same people behind emotional rescue launch as fine sister imprint in the shape of emotional rescue, with a near perfect insight into how the label will operate thanks to nzambi - a quite stunning full length album from jason letkiewicz under his alan hurst moniker. if you consider yourself an avid purchaser of vinyl, you will no doubt have added some letkiewicz heat to your collection in recent times, with excellent releases as steve summers and innergaze in recent times. the alan hurst project sees the brooklyn producer in more laid back form, indulging his passion for library sounds and experimental electronics with just as much aplomb. allegedly commissioned to soundtrack a film on modern haitian voodoo, nzambi is a woozily intoxicating thirteen track set that opens your senses to a true darkness in this producers palette of sounds that has not really been explored before.

der knüppelkäfer taucht ab in bunte welten, mit ordentlich schwung und perkusiven attacken treibt er durch einen sturm aus euphorie, exotische rhythmen und afrikanischen voodoo. rambazamba im sturm der emotionen.

the movie star junkies are pagan shamans gathering their tribe in a post-post-modern urban wasteland diseased with greed, cold mathematics and assimilation - a world utterly lacking wild beauty and vision.

calling on a roster of talent that includes the much vaunted luminaries tyree cooper, rick wade and his namesake wilhite, scott grooves, terrence parker and more you know that the vibes & pepper agency expanding operations to include a label means the standard of music will be high. number three in the fledgling wax initiative arrives with the man, the myth, the maverick that is norm talley at the helm for the three track bumper the westside project. talley fans will be all over this one for the chance to grab b side hugger >grove street shuffle< a track that originally featured on the producers uber rare 1997 release for city boy, and the two tracks that complement it find the beatdown brother in fine form. lead track >do what you like< deftly weaves in some expert voodoo ray sampleage amidst a permanently punchy groove whilst >greenfield groove< has talley in looser rhythmic mood, with busy percussion driving through a thick swamp of vocal pressure and ever twisting piano riffs

secret circuit, having been knighted by tastemaker tim sweeney by releasing their first 12? on his beats in space imprint, seriously run the voodoo down with this intense jam:jungle drums, spellbinding exotic chants once obstinately nesting in your head once you heard them, cheeping, bleeping and tweeting dub noises messing with your sense of orientation, gyrating guitar chords in a my bloody valentine style and between all this wonderful sonic chaos a slightly latin jazz tinged piano breaks its way. a beautiful maze of a track where you easily can get lost in for the rest of this summer. on the flip portugals tiago accentuates the cosmic rock vibe throwing in an aggressive guitar riff that sounds very much like chicagos im a man and prins thomas chucks the looser jam-like first part of the original over board and bundles the psychedelic elements to a breathlessly, constantly intensifying pressure cooker.

seuil & le loup return with hold youths 3rd release, revealing a new aspect of their universe. the original of jinx is a dirty & hypnotic track with an unstoppable groove. 2 remixes complete the package : the first comes from doctor san proper who takes you on a voodoo journey that wont let you go unscathed, whilst on the flipside, och delivers a killer modern techno-oriented 12 inch to thrill any dance floor.

hot new one from legowelt in his nacho patrol guise. whirling synth organs and tough percussion, pitched to raise the spirits in voodoo style. shangaan electro producer, nozinja, is on the remix... burning it at 180bpm!!! the remix is dedicated to his little sister or sesana whom we are told was dancing wildly during the recording..

die zeit scheint reif für bemerkenswerte kollaborationen: ganz im sinne der these, dass das ergebnis mehr ist als die summe ihrer teile, produzieren die beiden bpc-urgesteine kiki und chaim ihre 12inch love kills! unter gemeinsamer flagge. wirklich fremd waren sich die beiden jedoch nie: ihre gegenseitigen remixe – kikis großartige version von chaims album-titeltrack alive von 2011 und chaims 2009er knaller von kikis good voodoo machen lust auf mehr und legen die messlatte erneut ein stück höher!

the dust collision of swiss voodoo priestess kate waxs recently unveiled album takes its titular inspiration from switzerlands world-leading large hadron collider, where sub-atomic particles are accelerated into one another, and the subsequent fallout observed for our universal scientific advancement. the first single to be lifted from said album – title track dust collision – is a cornerstone of self-producing autocrat kate waxs personal album philosophy, where humans find new lovers through passing encounters in the night, like particles colliding in the lhc – momentary, exhilarating, predatory, intimate and ecstatic.

devotion, kap bambinos fourth album,is based on a few simple rules: each song is recorded as though played for the first time, and there was no second take each live show is played as if it was the final one each task is executed with a sense of urgency each decision is made with excess all the indicators are in the red. to understand the duo you need to let go of moderation. try to capture them:its too late, theyre already far away.like a permanent crash in the sound barrier. eternal youth with almost ten years behind them.

very little is known about the ldn poltergeist known as alby daniels. he is a voice, a bedroom beat-machine with a tomorrow-ist take on soul music.

we love matt. supported and charted by: ritchie hawtin, danny tenaglia, luciano, paco osuna, seth troxler, camea, davide squillace, magda, daniel sanchez, tim green, karotte, gregor trasher, fabrizio maurizi, tim xavier, mikael srtavostrand, monika kruse, ray okpara, marko nastic, dominik eulberg, ilario alicante, italoboyz, andrew grant.

>let life dance thru you< reveals itself as a safari of live played percussion, instruments and sounds. the duo create here a biotope of sounds that interact with each other... like a live band would do… at times almost arabesque sounding this track is full of mysterious soundscapes... jazzy played instruments... flutes running havoc... it could as well be: a spiritual voodoo session from the 70ies!
the whole sound selection if it would be described in colors, would be dark brown, black... with bits of gold. no shiny lights or illuminated plains. almost 11.00 minutes long this track is a real journey and certainly for the people who know rather than feeding djs.
played by: john tejada, dave seaman/ steve parry, max cooper, orde meikle/ slam, kaiserdisco, hermanez, florian meindl, ewan pearson, coyu, kabale und liebe, taster peter, mauro picotto, dubfire, john digweed, kiki, mihalis safras, philip sherburne, derek miller, deepchild, fabrice lig. piemont, pheek, frank sonic, scott byrne, dixon, dave dk, blind minded, david ribeiro, arjun vagale, alland byallo, karim zidan, jens lissat, freska, modrna/ ghostly, christian martin

crosstown rebels turn up the heat with luca bacchettis sensational >tango<, a latin-infused half step monster of a record setting dancefloors ablaze with its raw passion and infectious charm, presented here with an inspired >voodoo rewix< from venezuelan producer eduardo castillo. expect to hear this everywhere in the ensuing months, its going to be huge

we are more than happy to present the second part of the remixes of kollektiv turmstrasses rebellion der träumer album. the first part with interpretations by jimpster and robag wruhme already created a big buzz and we hope to continue like this with the uneins remixes by our scandinavian connaisseur darlings of norway and living legend aril brikha. the a-side of part 2 features a version of uneins by our oslo based homies and connaisseur protégés of norway. they take the original parts and blend them according to their own voodoo-tech vision. the result is both catchy and extremely danceable. the b-side offers one of the rare remixes by swedish techno soul wizard aril brikha who delivers an epic monster. is is techno? is it house? is it deep house? it is everything and nothing. but one thing we know its simply timeless! expect more remixes in 2012

the word genius is not a term we like to use loosely when speaking about our artists but giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor experiment fits the bill. a gifted musician, soft synth designer, found sound pioneer and he still finds time to make forward thinking disco pop for bearfunk as tobor experiment >disco experience<.
after a well received ep in 2008 we sent giorgio back to the studio with the remit to make an lp so special that it could open new doors for us. well he certainly delivered! opening with the sweet modern disco sounds of >postcards from a nervous breakdown< we then get the first taste of giorgios song writing prowess with >breathe< a rather intense little number.

in just a matter of months, life and death has swiftly established itself as purveyors of quality contemporary dance music, made by artists who would undoubtedly make anyone s short list of who i d like to invite to my afterparty . it seems only fitting then that with their newest release they ve recruited the undisputed kings of late night mayhem and madness for a paen tribute to that beautiful party after the party, the continuation of all things good and twisted.. the afterparty itself. not to take the issue of such a joyful celebration lightly, dop has gone on secret missions over the last 6 months, quietly (and often not so quietly) infiltrating afterparties worldwide and secretly extracting pituitary secretions from the rowdiest party goers at each of them. they then took these secretions, burned them in a special voodoo ceremony and immediately went into the studio to create a fitting tribute to the after-hours festivities we all hold so dear. once that was complete, friends were invited and even more deviants came to the party for some dirty late night remix action. clockwork (who s recently released it s you again on hot creations has already been the soundtrack to many an after party) are here, french wolf+lamb collaborator le loup is here, mas collective (who recorded on seminal nyc label strictly rhythm) is here and marius & david are here too.. everybody giving it their own special flavor. what an afterparty indeed.

summer of danny is an exclusive vinyl ep about dwdk serial dancefloor gems to be released as digital singles only in the next months: as you probably know supersonic lovers is a project by ajello s dj rocca and marcello giordani (italo deviance blog), they teamed up with singer adam clay (of ricky l born agains fame) for one of the catchiest vocal tune of this summer. dutch rhythm combo feat isa gt has been 2010 secret weapon for many djs, this mix of latin, hip-hop, funk gets remixed by dwdk dons ajello for extra party time action. jadoo is another italo-nu-disco dream team (ajello, heels of love & rampi), the irresistible voodoo love features the vocals of the most famous disco queen around hard ton. huge huge huge. showroom life by hot duo ajello close this vinyl sampler with an up-tempo disco tune designed for mirroball dancefloors.

in an age saturated with soundalikes and retro throwbacks, the truly unique and unconventional can be hard to come by. storming the 2011 scene with her self-titled debut album, berlin-based barbara panther seems to embody these latter characteristics - and then some. the singer takes risks, blending musical influences and crossing boundaries of musical style innovatively and effortlessly, and the result is a journey through vibrant soundscapes, frenetic arrangements interspersed with moments of beautiful melancholy, and the creative explosion of elements of her past, the present and the future.

london based label sect salute spains techno history with their tenth release, represented by highly respected techno producer and dj victor martinez. psychedelia-tinged tracks are the order of the day here as victor steps up the pace and sets the standard. >the infiltrator<, chapters 1 & 2 are both moody and mysterious slices of voodoo magic from martinez and firmly nod to the dark hours of techno. flip to the b, and >lessons on emptiness< is just as menacing, with weird samples and indecipherable vocals flying throughout. >motor zerox< leans to a slightly lighter atmosphere with rumbling percussion sections and a hook melody. another killer 12inch from sect records

in 2009 the internationally acclaimed german director tom tykwer (perfume, run lola run, the international) supervised a film project in kenyas largest township kibera together with his wife marie steinmann. they put together a team of international film pros that each mentored one film student and helped them put together the movie soul boy. a story about a boy who has to go on a journey to rescue his fathers soul from a mysterious voodoo women.
the result of xavers score is a percussive journey reminiscent of minimal music from the 60s paired with african vibes but completely void of world music cliches. its closer to krautrock and steve reich than to the commonly shallow perception of indigenous music by first world movie directors. full of odd sounding kalimbas and plucky guitars, backed by heavy orchestral drumming and floating e-bows.

andreas gehm returns to the mathematics imprint for another round of sick cuts. this is voodoo opens with an eerie basement banger that is followed by all soul day, a deeper journey into his production. the return of ra kicks up the dark acid while the title track ends the ep with more tech.

numan khan from manchester is a new artist for planet mu with an original musical style that mixes dubstep and grime influences with an idiosyncratic take on rhythm to great effect.
this four track ep showcases his styles from the a side with the lush melodic accordian and snes melodies of >race against time<, to the slower, disco influenced >photograph<.
the b side starts with >voodoo<, which combines grimey bass and strings with offbeat drums to odd, driving effect and finishes with >xx< which sounds like a long lost golden era 8-bit grime instrumental but with deft production tweaks and fx that keep it interesting and effective.

few artists can lay claim to such a continuous output as bpc resident joakim ijäs, better known as kiki. for kiki, continuity also means permanently developing his musical vision - his superb second album kaiku is testament to this. the current 12 inch >cinema obscura< follows on seamlessly from us house traditions, yet also reduces them to absurdity with its atmospheric density and sonic extravagance.

big with mihalis safras, piemont, afrilounge, phonique, someone else, anthony collins, stephan bodzin!! slim, sporty and very casual- thats the way in which current number 18 on acker records sneaks into listeners ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in europe. other than the name justin side implies, its even two dudes from denmark who conjure up this unusual voodoo. bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. beside the original mix, the groove of the a-side includes a minimal club mix by mister mollono.bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. on the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his summer mix. last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local mecklenburg version of a mighty voodoo magic.
