(includes high-quality download in mp3, flac and more) typhonian highlife is the new moniker of spencer clark. clark is the ultimate shape shifter, a trickster continuously mutating from a sci-fi hero, into a mystic guru or into a speculative visionary.

2016 repress - r&s welcome another newcomer to the family. with only one release behind him on hessle audio and a wicked remix for warp (the hundred in the hands) blawan finds his new tracks in demand from the likes of james blake, jackmaster, untold, ben ufo, ramadanman and pariah. the title track is already creating a bit of a stir from its inclusion in a few high profile dj sets, but all three tracks raise the game for this young producer. the whole ep is filled with an honest, infectious energy, just like his dj sets. you cant pigeonhole this as >post< anything, its pure, stripped down, club music. sometimes drums, bass and acid is all you need.

over the last few years, dutch electronic misfit vc-118a has delivered a number of killer eps and 12inch singles, each packed with sharp-edged electro, spacey techno, and industrial-strength analogue house. shift regsiter is his second full-length excursion his debut, international airlines, appeared on lunar disko back in 2012 and offers an expansive and hugely atmospheric journey through his trademark sound. naturally, there s much to admire across the 14 tracks, from the woozy, spaced-out electro-dub of input mode and the sparkling idm of serial data transmission, to the ultra-deep throb of radiation curve, and the hard-wired dancefloor bounce of the drexciya-like apex

broox record returns for his second ep with a mysterious french duo : idem. cozy house beats always keeping this hypnotic mind. the bside offers a powerful bonus tool that will blow your mind...

pampa is ecstatic to welcome berlins mike denhert for his label debut. known for an uncompromising, heads-down approach to moving dance floors, whether as a producer, a dj, or in his live incarnation, mike has provided 2 original tracks that are as distinct as they are relentless, possessed of a cerebral quality that belies their tough and stripped back aesthetic. how close to be is a stuttering march of half heard and half imagined discourse, broken by bright synthesis which disappears before it can fully form, with the disorientating sonics held in check only by the rigidity of rhythm running throughout the tracks length. its both surprising and linear. dark and uplifting. me too is also a creature of opposing ideologies. warped moving jazz plays with static motorik patterns, automation curls around repetition, and textures change position throughout. bright keys warp, and swing ebbs in and flows out, all to an eventually breathless but ultimately compelling sum of these parts

the ep entitled deceased unknown, a seemingly morbid piece of art (art/music) but look a little deeper! this ep sees b12 pick up the pace from their previous firescope release brokenunbroken “coduktor” an organ plays some subtle chords behind this track while beautiful drums skip along on top, to create a sonic backdrop for the very quirky melodies and top lines that constantly evolve and interpolate. a spiritual experience ? “dont look down” 808 and 909 drum and pads always a killer combination add to this an odd malformed bass line which never really reveals quite what it is doing makes for a pretty interesting track. don’t look down where is the question “blue and green capsule” a pumping kick drum sets the pace for this track which builds up using classic b12 style drums. the swirling pads and sliding melodies interlaced make this track reminiscent of “epillion” as featured on the classic b12 album “time tourist” on warp records in 1996. a track you can move your feet as well as your head to “minor decay” brain decay , world decay , urban decay , human decay , music decay, unavoidable decay - a simple straightforward techno track using its simplicity to conjure up feelings of sadness and thoughtfulness as well as joy and hope. a new hope finished in glorious red with black splatter vinyl with exclusive artwork by sarah sparkes

debut release for ra journalist dan petry using the moniker ged. the dry river ep is an accomplished first outing that fans of drexciya, dave clarke and objekt should investigate. ged s sound is rooted in detroit electro, early rave, 90s warp sensibilities and the gorgeous electronica palettes of manchester s skam label, most notable on early boards of canada and bola s work. that is to say kicking drums, dark brooding undercurrents and delicious soundscapes. definitely worth checking.

nice price deal !!! editions mego is happy to announce the release of >kanal gendyn<, a vinyl and dvd set by russell haswell & florian hecker. this is the first full length release by the artists following their highly acclaimed albums, >blackest ever black< (electroacoustic upic recordings / warner classics, 2007), and >upic warp tracks< (warp, 2008), in addition to their remixes of popol vuh, and voice crack.

nice price deal !!! all out war is a new label from richard hardcastle aka solid state, based in sheffield, uk. richard is known for his product of society edits on society recs, and work on toko, guidance, primitive and cookhouse recs in the late 90s/early 00s. the first all out war release is prisoners of wax vol 1, new edits by solid state, mastered for vinyl by warp legend rob gordon here in sheffield. the disco elements that marked their first 3 society releases are back in full effect... a: america - a radical extension of a french track from 1978, complete with fierce bass and guitar riffs, scything strings and urgent vocals plus police sirens for added drama... all out disco war! aa1: shortwave radiation - tames a once sprawling, 9 minute plus synth strumental behemoth. this 6 1/2 minute version lowers the tempo and cuts the flabbier excesses of the original to produce a far leaner, fitter space monster. aa2: if u love me started life as a quaint little spanish number in 1977. this version ditches the verses, allowing the intro and chorus to take centre stage. the resulting track has a hypnotic, spacey atmosphere... a quiet storm!

nice price deal !!! afrikanz on marz come correct with their second release for out hear audio. this follows on from their acclaimed first single the road we travel. ashley beedle and darren morris have joined forces with uk rap artist skilf to concoct a psychedelic drum led monster with shades of early warp bleepness, bass funk and headhunter era herbie hancock to come up with something unique and thought provoking. skilf lets loose with gritty lyrics and completes a strong combination. skilf is a brighton based rap/dance artist with a unique and distinctive sound. unfazed by the restrictions of >genre< over the years he has worked with a range of producers. artists from bob dylan, to wu tang clan to the streets have had a big impact on skilfs approach to writing and rapping.

young producer from amiens, duns scott first fell in love with rock and post rock. it’s after coming across the music of boards of canada, aphex twin and other warp artists, that he starts delving into the many subgenres of electronic music. eventually, he becomes a proper record digger of jazz, funk and disco, which will deeply affect his music writing. neidio is the outcome of a mixture of influences, each tune with its own idio yncratic sound and story. timelanding was drafted as if a real studio session with actual musicians was happening, the jazz vocal samples try to instate the synergy of musicians interacting with each other. neij is the imaginary soundtrack of a dream inspired by the art cover of the ep. mixed by duns scott / masterized by sven weisemann.

killekill megahits ii is a jubilee release. but it’s not only that. it’s also milestone and turning point in the killekill history, because with this release killekill closes one chapter, and opens up another. we will start several new labels over the next months, so this is a hello and a goodbye release – looking back and forward at the same time. the full compilation got a lot of coverage and the tour was very successful, and so we will release the records as single releases as well. part 3 features the straightest tracks of the compilation. detroit-ish techno from alex cortex, stomping acid from blake baxter, the prince of techno and modern techno by ksp and cassegrain & tin man – 4 bomb tracks for the dancefloors.

irish-born south-london vocalist samuel returns to big dada with the new ep luv cry - four tracks of rnb tinged electronica, produced by kwes (warp) and with additional production by ozkharp (hyperdub) and lockah (donky pitch). the 10 inch vinyl release includes a download code.

hans berg and johanna knutsson return to the ufo station with their fourth release, a powerful trippy trip, through warped time and space. and guess who was waiting for them at the station? well,none other than fellow space traveller dungeon acid, who delivers a remix that just might knock your space pants off. the title track alien power is obviously inspired by the quantum fusion core phase shift warp power engine that drives the ufo station, a steady beat to keep you on the right side of the force, whereas the dungeon acid remix is a musical interpretation of the great warp speed interdimensional flux mishap of the year 2216. the track dubby is so named because it inherently describes the core feeling of the track! alien choirs and synched synths meet long delay lines in this dreamy piece.

dax j with a nasty 4-tracker for the clergy imprint, cut at 45rpm for maximum pressure.

killekill catalogue number 025 is a jubilee release: its killekill megahits ii. but its not only a jubilee release. its also milestone and turning point in the killekill history, because with this release killekill closes one chapter, and opens up another.

billy nasty’s electrix records launches its 2016 schedule by welcoming back the always impressive, carl finlow. carl is one of dance music’s leading lights and a multi-talented producer across a range of genres, with releases stretching back to the early 90s. well known for the 2020 vision label he launched with ralph lawson, his solo work however has often taken an electro route with releases under various guises like random factor, black labs, voice stealer, silicon scally and scarletron (with daz quayle) on labels including warp, fuel, playhouse, paper, trope, sony, klang, arista, soma, scsi, pagan, minifunk, seventh sign and satamile. it’s been almost 3 years since carl appeared on electrix. his ‘boot loop ep’ became the label’s second release after its re-launch in 2013. but it’s definitely been worth the wait. his ‘electricology 4 ep’ once again shows why he’s a master of the genre. from the tough and funked-up ‘lateral thoughts’, speckled and melodic ‘hyperloop’, squelching, bassy ‘suspect reanimation’ and sinister, beat-driven ‘latext’, right through to the playful ‘atomic level’ (a bonus track for the digital release), the ep shines, with a stamp of high quality running though its core.

the official re-issue of the dub classic -space invaders- available as extended 2lp vinyl-set with 20 tracks and poster. the original album from 1981 has been state-of-the-art remastered and is twinned with a second disc of the original vocal versions. all recordings recorded at channel one with the roots radics and mixed by scientist at king tubby’s with producer linval thomspon.

crystal is cudmores debut 12inch single. raw, rough and ready to rumble, crystal marries snaking acid lines and bouncy grooves to a sample from cult underground film classic the queen.on the flip is detroit-bred and bunker resident dj mike servitos 730 reshape, that gives the wiggly worm vibe harkening back to the early days of transmat, warp and the minimalism of dan bell s dbx project. l.i.e.s. mainstay gunnar haslam provides his dekalb avenue remix made while living in new york, a modular synth cruise with the top down. all tracks have been mastered and eqed for vinyl by george horn at fantasy studios in berkeley and labels are as pink as crystals lipstick.

brussels-based duo return to turbo backed by remixes from warp legends the black dog.

originally released via ascetic house in 2015, vereker’s grace tape owes much to the canon of vintage anti-music, exploring catharsis via a transgression of traditional compositional & technical values. working with the same thematic concerns of much of the more leftfield additions to the avian catalogue - in it’s more subdued moments, anxiety & dissafection, in it’s more high energy - pure hysteria - the recording pairs basic synthesis with warped vocals in the same manner as industrial progenitors throbbing gristle and steven stapleton (nurse with wound).
the reduced palette & crushed production aesthetic creates a powerful immediacy, with a twisted musicality being drawn - at times, kicking and screaming, out of the depths of the mix. like much of vereker’s best work on labels like lies & berceuse heroique, elements warp & twist uncomfortably within the tight confines of a reduced dynamic spectrum - creating a dark, heady energy. scetic house, the predominantly cassette only label, has seen appearances from la’s silent servant, northern electronics’ varg & avian’s own shifted - under his covered in sand alias.

nice price deal !!! based on the worldwide success of max richters groundbreaking eight-hour work sleep, his personal lullaby for a breathless world - and the one-hour extraction from sleep, a series of remixes produced by a selection of well-known musicians and young artists.
the legendary scottish post-rock band mogwai, known for its special feel when remix of works by other artists, transforms max richter dreamy path 5 in a darkly throbbing track, marked by snare drum and complemented by haunting guitar soundscapes and cool, arpeggiated synthesizer, in remix electronic artist clark (warp records) is from max richter path 5 a sequence of three different, highly insistent musical scenes that send the listener on a heady trip - in clarks words by danny elfman on popol vuh to slint, merged in a planet of music.
the 180 gram vinyl ep includes a download code.

ces colab series continues with an ep from mmt-8 a new alias from sync 24 and ed dmx/dmx krew. 4 raw analogue electro jams for the dancefloor and mind!

typisch für das label triangle: entfesselte beats, ausgefeilte soundscapes, abstrakte electronica. was das warp label vor jahren mit der veröffentlichung der werke von künstlern wie autechre startete, wird nun im geiste fortgeführt. da der amerikanische hip hop-markt gerade nach abstrakten beats sucht, sind die veröffentlichung von triangle auch jenseits von avantgarde-zirkeln sehr angesagt. brod ma mit *daze* machen jedenfalls keine gefangenen. bei *molten brownian motion* ist das rhythmusgeflecht dann derart verdichtet, bis nur noch beats das klangbild dominieren. bei *dim returns* ist eine wundersame melodieführung der kern der komposition. aufregend, elektronisch, elektrisierend!
die vinyl lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

fresh goods from vc-118a. known as one of the deepest electronic producers out there, samuel has released under different monikers as mohlao, multicast dynamics and inward content (together with delta funktionen). here he presents a 6 track conceptual ep about ancient aviation machinery operated throughout turbulent times. but don t be mislead, this might be conceptualized in historical events, the music is far from a blast from the past. this is some pure futuristic hi-tech-electro from the north of the netherlands! for fans of warp and all other adventurous dj s out there...

delsin present a new ep by b12 aka steve rutter entitled orbiting souls, a name which comes from the fact the veteran artist has recently spent contemplating the loss of a friend and believes we are surrounded by lost souls and spirits. this is b12 s second ep this year following on from the bokide 325 release on soma records and comes years after still acclaimed album like electro-soma and timetourist on warp records back in the 90s. orbiting souls is a somewhat complex journey, a representation of inner bi polar opposites, isolation, sadness, but also acknowledging the great and wonderful things around that swirl and support and energise us. a perfectly formed sound world that is both absorbing and cerebral and comes with a full colour sleeve by boris tellegen.

the duo acid mondays have brought their quirky forms of house and techno to a wealth of respected labels over the years, warp, circus and 2020 vision to name but a few. now, negghead and lex wolf can add guy gerbers forward-thinking rumors to that list, with their humorously-titled tacos per minute ep which looks set to add to the imprints hard-earned reputation as a breeding ground for innovative techno.

tyler friedman returns to kontra-musik with a series of immersive wax maelstroms, adorned with the mind-melting artwork of rafaela drazic. every track on ccc: bb: bbb: jj is a controlled experiment in lysergic dance music, an examination of how far you can warp the constitutive elements of techno without loosing it s essential spine. the result is four evolutionary techno suites full of movement and life that make your brain move just as vigorously as your body. as the personal work of a composer creating soundtracks for artist projects - most notably as a long-term collaborator of the otolith group, the filmmaker collective spearheaded by pioneering afrofuturist theorist kodwo eshun - ccc: bb: bbb: jj sums up everything kontra-musik is about: dancefloor celebrations challenging the boundaries of expectation and genre.

jamie lidell is a british vocalist, producer and warp recording artist with a string of intelligent, soulful electronic albums under his belt.a: new eyes b: seye wen... the vinyl factory has partnered american multi-media artist doug aitken and the barbican to bring his acclaimed station to station: a 30 day happening to the uk for a month-long. for the duration of the event, which features residencies, installations, live performances, workshops, screenings and more, the vinyl factory has created the vinyl factory recording studio to provide a space for musicians and artists to experiment and improvise and has installed the vinyl factory press on-site to manufacture these recordings into vinyl editions.

over the last 12 years, kel mckeown, or kelpe, has carved himself a unique perch in the uk s electronic underground. across several full-lengths, eps and remix projects, his misfit electronica has managed to cohere a staggeringly deep spectrum of influence along the way. a natural son and heir to generation warp and the fathers of krautrock, his pioneering experiments in the early 00s also positioned him as one of many stylistic precursors to the arrival of la s now-sprawling beat scene. much like scene-savants prefuse 73 and dimlite, kelpe has remained an enormously respected stalwart of the fringes, always dabbling variously in sampleheavy beat-craft, oddball ambient, and more recently dancefloor-ready club grub.

uk techno founders b12 return! the duos history famously started in the early 90s with their music appearing under a plethora of monikers under the b12 records umbrella - 12 inch vinyl with notorious cryptic messages engraved in the run-out grooves, before being collected into album form and release on warp. after a hiatus in the late 90s, the pair resurfaced briefly for some live shows, a flurry of hugely sought-after 12 inches and a 7-part cd anthology. they then abruptly disappeared again - this is their first appearance in 5 years, fittingly on glaswegian imprint soma. (their seminal warp records album was named electro soma...is there a connection?)

when we say live in the future it becomes a repudiation of living in the present, and then instantly we are in a state of denial denial has a hypnotic effect on the mind. gutsy 909 claps work with percussion and futurist vocal snippets that warp and chop, whilst haunting chords wrap themselves and sublimate over the body. denial wants you to live in the future, denying the present moment. yet the music speaks in the present. to close your eyes, find yourself lose yourself in the moment and groove.

nebraska is someone who’s tracks we’ve been loving for a good few years now and finally managed to pin him down for a release here on delusions of grandeur. the uk producer is something of an enigma, and despite some amazing releases on rush hour still remains resolutely underground and seems to keep his releases to a minimum, focusing on keeping the quality high rather than flooding the market with average material. once again, he brings the real deal with three drum-heavy warehouse jams to nice-up the dancefloor. aw-right (mute version) sets the tone with a raw house groove that keeps things stripped to the bare minimum. a bouncing bassline and rattling percussion break help to define the track but it’s the dusty, dubby approach to the mix which really makes the track shine. next up we have warp and weft, a similar sounding track but by dropping the bpm’s nebraska has created a sublime low-slung, bumpy groove to really move to. flipping over we’re treated to the brilliant eighty eights which will have you nodding your head like the churchill’s dog before you can say ‘looped up piano and bass one bar groove repeated for over eight and a half minutes shouldn’t work should it?’

roisin murphy delivers a solo sonic bomb for crosstown rebels. *jealousy* is recorded especially for crosstown rebels and additional to roisin’s forthcoming album. this is an unashamed slice of dance-floor hedonism from the acclaimed singer, featuring roisins compelling vocals in both a house and disco workout. co-written and produced by the great-unsung modern day house hero, the crooked man aka dj parrot, formally ofsweet exorcist (warp) and all seeing i amongst many other aliases, he has been a bastion of the sheffield sound since the late 80s.

house of black lanterns is the latest musical project from dylan richards, the man behind the king cannibal and zilla monikers (on the ninja tune and warp records labels respectively). with an album and two singles out in 2013 on the highly respected houndstooth label, richards returns with a deadly ep for hypercolour, backed with a very fine mosca remix.

jon hopkins begann seine musikalische laufbahn 1999 im zarten alter von 21 jahren. er arbeitete mit brian eno und david holmes zusammen, war an der produktion dreier coldplay-alben beteiligt und erhielt für sein album *immunity* 2013 eine mercury prize-nominierung. seine late night tales session klingt wie ein requiem für einen traumort, irgendwo zwischen himmel, hölle und dem überfluteten themse-delta. technobeats und verzerrungen mögen vorkommen, doch der blick des zuhörers wandert gefangen und verträumt über die weiten eines offenen ozeans bei nacht. wir begegnen den komponisten nils frahm und ben lukas boysen, den warp-acts bibio und darkstar, jonsi & alex von sigur ros, den grace jones-samplern holy other, sowie künstler wie four tet, alela diane, school of seven bells, health und david holmes. garniert wird diese außergewöhnliche zusammenstellung mit einem exklusiven jon hopkins pianocover des yeasayer-songs *i remember*, sowie mit einer spoken-word-erzählung des produzentenkollegen rick holland.
