never ones to stand still dons rainbow marks a quantum leap for seahawks, the first release on new label ocean moon and the first recording from the invisible sunrise sessions. invisible sunrise is the forthcoming album from seahawks and the first to be recorded with live musicians rather than a hard drive full of dusty old samples. the results are stunningly original, not least on this track with new york head autre ne veut. anvs debut album last year on olde english spelling bee was an incredible rush of warped r&b, 80s synths, amazing songs and what has to be one of the most innovative voices to emerge in the last 5 years. since then hes released a great ep on hippos in tanks, played some mind bending live shows and guested on the ford & lopatin album. dons rainbow sounds like michael mcdonalds sweet freedom crossed with nite flight era walker brothers. a fantastic piece of hazy avant pop with jan hammer pulse wave synths, yah mo b there drums and fuzz drenched spirals of soprano sax and guitar colliding with the sound of soul from outer space. on the flip the dub takes the track into a world of shadows, where smeared washes of sound swim in an ocean of decay. as always with seahawks releases the packaging is beautiful. heavyweight vinyl in a full colour sleeve, with full colour labels. the last seahawks release sold out in days, we expect this one to do the same, so get your skates on!

gui borattos dark 2011 masterpiece >iii< was brimming with deft highlights, but not every one of them was aiming at the floor. showing his expertise in more than one style, the brazilian producer wove an intriguing web of beats and sounds that even surprised his most dedicated fans. >destination: education<, a slightly saturnine rhythm study featuring the return of guis wife luciana on vocals (who also sang on the classic >beautiful life< from debut album >chromophobia<), now gets pushed into the spotlight by dancefloor gurus terranova and tale of us, both tweaking the track to its optimal danceability. a must have for boratto zealots and crowd-sensitive djs alike, this 12 inch presents two heavy-duty bangers tailored to every partys needs.

this release is first new mule musiq. catalogue number was jumped up to 147 ... barnt is cologne based producer which is known as a member of magazine (artist&label). we really loved barnt 12 inch and magazine stuff on their label and very happy new barnt 12 inch is released on mule musiq. original on a side is like a dark house remix of goblin (italian progressive rock band). if you like dubby techno sound like echospace or redshape, you will into this track very easily. on b side, one of the best artist at the moment vakula made warm deep house remix. its not necessary bla bla ... about vakula sound. ambient version is lovely bonus track.

second release in the delsin x-dsr series containing re-issues of personal favourites. m.k.s the mkappella was originally a track on the b-side of the very original version of his huge burning ep on the area 10 label. the mkappella is some original innocent deep sunset house. other side contains the adventurous lost by the 7th plain aka luke slater, taken from his debut album the 4 cornered room way back from 1994, the high days of the uk techno scene, with lot of hints towards the original detroit sound.

i was finishing up a long extended set in paris when the cleckcleckboom crew practically ran into the club to get on the decks. i had hung out with them before but tonight they had all new tracks and an incredible energy. so i stayed past the last ravers just to hear what they would play and that was when i heard “hugz” by french fries and bamabounou. this was a new sound, some nasty nasty shit sitting somewhere between juke and bass music and and i knew we had to get this sound on dirtybird no matter what. needles to say “yo vogue” is hot property and i’m really excited to release it on dirtybird. the half time drop, the chopped and screwed vocal, the stuttering bass kicks, the creepy moog on top - it’s simple and complex at the same time and it wrecks shop whenever it gets played. i did a remix on the b side giving it some db flavor and dirtybird newcomer leroy peppers lays out his own bay area skeeze with hot sauce on top. watch yer bass bins! best, vonstroke.

subversion: subversion was made by the dna strands of artist nick modern, featuring the vocals of inja, in a well kept secret scientific lab. this track has a pure venom snare that when it strikes leaves you powerless in its wake , face melting beats and a vocal that will make you spin and make you dizzy. snakecharmer: snake charmer, after walking in the desert for days , you begin to lose reality as the synth starts to build, it takes over your mind and starts mesmerizing you as you go on a journey into the space invader bass that keeps building and building until it blows you away. support by: dj nihal, kc, raskwane, cookie monsta, sunchase, radio1, rinse fm, get darker, demon, displaced paranormals, plastician, j da flex, hatcha, alley cat, sls

b-tracks debut at the end of last year was a runaway smash, gone in a flash. the come back ep is another deadly round of deep, real dance music from the two new yorkers, schooled in vintage gotham and detroit house and techno, freshly to the manor born — driving, dub-wise, bare-bones, soulful, and melodic, by turns. once again, dont sleep on it.

the dirty dutch! anticlub a notorious collective from eindhoven, the southern capital of holland, was inspired to push itself into a new direction. the inspiration came from a painting by an old lady that drew the attention and gave the impulse to create the album freaks and followers. as the title suggests there are two kinds of people, people who take risks and people who do not. as anticlub used to be a risk-taker but slowly settled in an unwanted comfort zone, this created dissatisfaction and led to a creative standstill. seeing the painting everything became clear again. one should not stand still but keep moving and evolve oneself into new areas that one has not yet explored creatively. as lessismore is from the same dutch city, this state of mind also hit the lessismore label, which inevitable resulted in both parties joining forces to release this diverse album by a former underground techno crew called anticlub. as the lessismore label is known for its typically styled techno, lessismore was searching for a new impulse sound wise and visually, to ensure creative satisfaction in the years to come. with this album everything came together and the lessismore crew reunited to renew their input into the label, which was once founded to be a creative platform and an artistic journey and in retrospective clearly not a platform where one should repeat itself time after time. freaks and followers is an 8 track album with raw electronic based music combined with a variety of vocal work by different new anticlub members. the overall feel of the album is a dark punky attitude that reminds of the good old days of rave, which in the early nineties dominated the dutch club and party scene. this period can be defined as being careless and not taking credibility into account, trying new things, being blunt and just partying your hart out. being older this is a feeling that will never have to die, proved by the old lady whose painting was used as the art-work of the album release.

spank rock feat. big freedia - nasty remixes taken from the album:everything is boring & everyone is a f—ing liar (produced by boys noize) on the peak of the succesful wave of spank rocks sophomore effort, everything is boring and everyone is a fucking liar, boysnoize records proudly presents spank rocks latest single called nasty featuring the undisputed queen diva of bounce music - big freedia and hooked up by the lady herself tyette. nasty is the pure extraction of an eccentric and intimate bounce track twisted, filthy, party- and sexdriven, its bound to make even the grumpiest person dance like there is no tomorrow. this pearl of goodness comes in 2 different mixes by bnrs youngest discovery scntst, who turned the original track into a dark techno/dubstep hybrid giving you goose bumps. both, are clearly one of the best mixes done by scntst so far. also alex ridha was more than impressed and picked scntst voal-remix of his favorite rapper, just edited it and made this nasty tune even more effective!addison groove, also known as headhunter, of 50 weapons fame has graced us with two reworks of nasty. both expose his passion for experimental broken up sounds. he keeps it real by emphasizing the deep and heavy bass in the track. sebastian’s dtf dadt remix is a dirty dubstep gem, which we can already see fitting right in in underground clubs and big international venues. what a bonus!

its fair to say that sammy gossens aka sierra sam is one of the rare and victorious butterflies of the electronic world. over the last 15 years not only has sierra sam released his own works on esteemed imprints such as supplement facts, time has changed, einmaleins musik and many more, but his impeccable engineering skills are in demand worldwide, co-producing with artists such as bloody mary for dame music and surburban knight for ur and peacefrog. not enough to suffice his creative torrent, sierra sam runs the highly successful toys for boys imprint alongside marcus vector and was label manager for jay haze’s tuning spork and contexterrior labels.

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.

exceptional debut album!!early support by groove magazine, resident advisor, oliver hafenbauer, gerd janson, lawrence more to come.. sometimes things in life never occur as planned. so it happend to edward aka. gilles aiken, when the berlinbased artist was looking for a new apartment. somehow he found himself moving to a very small fairy tale-like village called teupitz in brandenburg, germany. it was there were edward rediccovered his deep love for nature and silence. with long extensive walks along the teupitzer lake he got to the bottom of his true love for house music. within the silence he could still hear a distant pulse of basslines ringing. and after release for giegling, blooming soul and white it was time to make the next step. with all the nature surrounding him, he finally felt able to get all the music out. music which ended up as his debut album, simply called teupitz

welcome reissue for this super-rare space funk album from 1983, one of the holy grails of the cosmic scene. extremely expensive and hard-to-find in the original, this lp was created by legendary french producers jean-pierre massiera and bernard torelli (listed here as areisam and bernie) and released on french label savoir faire. it is a superb example of the duos innovative electronic disco madness, always pushing boundaries while remaining supremely funky. stand-out tracks are the italo classic >challenger< - heady synths, tough bass and astronaut vocals combine in a strange space odyssey, >cruisin<, a superb electro-boogie style cut with a hypnotic driving bassline, and the fantastic >on the border<, a tight funky percussive workout whipped by wild space-rock guitars. but as you would expect from the massiera/torelli trademark, all tracks are great and the lp a worthy addition to any self-respecting italo / cosmic collection.

the sense of palace brothers being a band was dispelled by oldhams second album >days in the wake<. initially released eponymously, >days in the wake< is, apart from the addition of some backing vocals on come a little dog, a solo album.

the debut palace brothers album was released in 1993 when much american music was going through a particularly bombastic period. in contrast >there is no one what will take care of you< sounded like a field recording, as though a tape of back porch confessionals recorded by alan lomax as an example of high southern gothic style, had been newly discovered and released.

played and supported by luke slater,and, cedrik, marcel dettmann,inigo kennedy, norman nodge, dadub,conrad van orton, audio injection and more.timber-seeking and testing are the key for ang,a label engaged in a large range of electronic music.this label wants to transmit the direct action of sound on the soul.composition comes into contact with the soul and establishes the resonance.a label that cant be described simply by being ambient,but surely it is a label with music suspended between astraction and representation,a synthesis of external vision and internal contemplation.a long journey called ang this was the presentation of the concept when gianluca angelini began his digital label. the time is past and the love for electronic music, his background, and feedback from many great artists made sure that ang born vinyl. and here we are.the first vinyl ang is completely electronic music (as always has been)! the labels owner shows three tracks.in the a side,sound p.q.r. is a reminder to all that influenced the musical life of the artist.rhythmic breaks. hypnotic sounds like a battle game.tb - 303. classic vocal samples of the first series simon harris.edge of kaos is as confusing as the title describes it.fast rhythmic breaks alternate with moments of reflection, then again kaos,frenetic and abstract rhythm.the nonsense that so influenced generations of electronic music lovers.the b side is luke sinewalker.a journey through the hypnotic parts of a pure electro!this is just the beginning.we confirm for the new vinyl label a long journey called ang.

jean wells story is not an extraordinary one in the world of soul, although her voice certainly was. her biggest hit >have a little mercy< from 1967 was a glorious slice of deep soul, a plea to a lover, whom she is addicted to, but who doesn t seem to notice. her gospel-trained voice perfectly encapsulating those feelings, whilst a stark arrangement dominated by an ethereal organ and dramatic horn stabs heightens the unbearable effect this man is having on jeans life. yet at the time this record only reached number 25 in the r&b charts, just another bit of genius amongst many, thrown out by the black american music industry at one of its most creative and profligate periods.
jean left us with a fantastic recorded legacy, of which her recordings for clyde otis, which are gathered here, are the choicest cuts.

the mini album hope was another change in sound, and featured arrangements by sean o hagan, then of the high llamas. featuring six songs including a cover of leonard cohens >winter lady<, oldhams voice is set in a reflective and soft-hued sound throughout.

simon bakers debut album traces saw the london based producer record a superb, honest reflection of his influences and took his deep house sound into a long playing format that was critically acclaimed across the board. let me in was one of two tracks that featured vocals from debukas that were highlights of the album, and it returns in original album version and with an excellent remix from lee curtiss. lee curtiss is currently riding high after great releases on spectral sound and get physical, an excellent cd compilation for watergate and as part of the visionquest collective. his version is a remix in the truest form, he treats the original with respect, but twists and turns it very much into his own track, perfectly fine tuned for club sets and soundsystems. this combined with the awesome original provides another essential simon baker and 2020vision collaboration

waiting for never was created a few months later when trei was passing through vienna and the final track, a tearing trei remix of >baby i ll play< by the thomas oliver band.

the reasons of the space probes blackout are still unknown. sharp and synchronised movements revealed mysterious devices and something started to pulse in the cloudy air, followed by upbeat sonic layers. i thought i was listening to a new, indecipherable, form of language. at the same time, without any friction, the nature of the emission changed again into a sort of weaving of sonic textures twisting all around me, fast and shifty. the only evidence of the facts i just reported is what i leave for you to listen to.

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

rob mello was an easy choice for the remix as we have been long time friends and fans of his. he took the track apart and gave us his unique no ears approach to the remix, a twisted deep afterhours biz. we hope you enjoy the release.

when italian alex costa arrived in the world in 1979 he believes he was already addicted to electronic music. inspired by the djs surrounding him in his pr role in the clubs in the early nineties, he made the switch to dj and radio show host. in 2005 he started to produce - zoning in on quality deep house, tribal and tech house and scoring him a series of releases including daddy soon on toolroom records and was great on intacto records. we are happy he is back for some more intacto fuelled action!

>rastaman vibration< is a roots reggae album by bob marley & the wailers released in 1976.
it captures the last moments of marleys tenure as jamaicas folk hero before he developed into a worldwide superstar. to those with their ear to the ground, he was already a giant, but it wasnt until the following year that those slower off the mark were to latch on to his energy.

if you have heard daniel martin-mccormicks name recently, it would probably have been either in association with his disco/punk/echo band mi ami, or as sex worker on the not not fun label, or finally as ital on nnfs sister label 100% silk, recording quite different sounding house music to this album. raised in washington dc, daniel has a history in the citys hardcore scene, he was in the dischord records signed black eyes, but was also making dance inspired tracks at the same period, but coming from a very different angle from your average guy with a copy of logic and a working knowledge of dance musics history.

softwar are 2 body builders from sydney - myles du chateau & jeremy lloyd - and they have finally finished their ep on future classic called > this time around<. as much as we tease softwar at how slow they are they have some pretty serious chops - their debut ep was signed to dj kaos label > jolly jams<, their remix of two door cinema club was hand picked by kitsune, their residence at slow blow at goodgod, sydney has got millions of hot >fashion< girls into deep house and theyve remixed mario & vidis and mitzi - meaning this will be their third appearance on future classic vinyl. >this time around< resonates filtery deep funk, soul and house and we are glad its finally here and not called brown noise

in 1986 steve earles new brand of country-rock music was taking nashville by storm. his debut album >guitar town< topped the billboard country album charts, as did the single with the same title.
influenced by bruce springsteen (who was earles eureka!) and townes van zandt (after whom he named his firstborn), this was one of the strongest & most confident debut albums released in the 80s.
he showed an angry literacy, a dark sense of humour & a street-smart snarl that was uncommon amongst his country counterparts and made him stand out amongst the crowd. but he was also ostracised because of his anti-vietnam stance & long hair.
this is the first vinyl re-issue of this double grammy nominated album since its original release! comes on audiophile 180 grams vinyl, including bonus track and insert.

though some only know the byrds for their covers, critics believe that they are amongst the most important and influential bands of the 1960s. their signature sound of clear harmony singing and jangling guitars combined well with the sounds of british invaders the beatles & the rolling stones, and they became the pioneers of folk rock, psychedelic rock, raga rock, and country rock.
the recording of the 1968 album >the notorious byrd brothers< in the heyday of the flower power age was nothing less than herculean, disputes over artistic direction & power struggles within the band meant that by the time recording was finished there were only two byrd-members left. the album was a labour of love, though, its more experimental and progressive than their previous works and is considered one of the best albums they made ...
re-issue on 180 grams audiophile vinyl.

it was their goal to reassert the vitality of their art outside the often stifling definitions of the music industry and to reassert the vitality of memphis as a music-making centre of great potential.
>memphis rock & roll homecoming<, with its mix of jazz, blues, country, gospel, rock n roll and soul, is now a proud part of the legendary citys legacy!

>aspen< is the name of christian loefflers single before his debut album on ki called >a forest<. the name of the single is not to be misunderstood as a dedication to the ski resort in colorado. its rather a dedication to christian loefflers home region in the north of germany. loeffler walked out into the forests near darss, to take field recordings of the trees that commonly grow in that area, which are called >aspen<. the landscape near darss is characterized by signs of storm and rough sea climate, but is also considered as a popular health resort in germany. the tracks on >aspen< create this contrary atmosphere: noise and silence, destruction and peacefulness, electronic sounds and traditional instruments unite in harmony. the cover artwork for >aspen< was taken by christian loeffler himself in the forests of darss.

>xenomorph / vespertilio< follows up peter kruders >law of return< track, that was a highlight, both in the music world in 2009 and in macros ever brilliant catalogue - and one of the now most sought after recent vinyl collectors records. xenomorph takes off where law of return ended. 2012 couldnt start deeper: detail rich, dreamy, pushing enthusiastically forward into the new year. vespertilio then moves between the off-centre sound aesthetics of a morricone soundtrack and the intensity of hypermodern subbass droppings. this is an irresistably deep double package, exceeding even the boldest expectations. a masterpiece. no more, no less.

wax classic is a brand new skylax sub – label. for this 3rd release, we give you the opportunity to grab 5 fantastic trax done by housemaster : jason grove.born in detroit, he started his career in the late 80s, dj-ing in underground parties when the techno house movement was just at the beginning. he was invited few times on detroit local stations such as wdrq & wjlb to play. some said he was at that time very close to the >wizard<, helping producing their first tracks with anthony srock as final cut. he had many opportunities during the 90s to release some of his work on various prestigious labels, however, as the guy is really hardcore & straight edge, he prefered to continue producing only with analog gears (dont ever speak to him about a computer or he?ll get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). after the incredible release we had on wax classic 1 (another skylax sub – label), you can grab finally the 2 nd part of those legendary tapes.

dan ghenacia, the force behind the inaugural label of parisian house talent freak n chic, returns alongside his closest allies dyed soundorom and shonky to launch their new imprint – apollonia. sharing the same roots, the same tastes and the same musical vision, apollonia was a natural, if not inevitable progression for the three friends.well mainly focus on releasing our own music, but of course we are also really open-minded to sign any producers we all enjoy, says dyed.the label will serve as a platform for the trio&#8223,,,,,s productions, representing new beginnings based on a solid family that have already done much to shape the underground house scene, in paris and beyond. if the former era was a learning curve for all three, in both the music and business sense, one has high expectations for the quality of production on apollonia to come !shonkys ep the minneapolis touch will mark the first release for the label. forthcoming in february 2012, it features three tracks of strong house grooves, hynoptic melodies and hushed vocals for his signature sultry sound.

2011 was a banner year for borrowed language – both the split 12 inch from jeff pietro & israel vines (blx-2 distance no object) and jeff pietros definitive >still< 10 inch (blx-3) garnered plaudits from all corners of the globe and were charted and played by the likes of surgeon, miles whittaker (of demdike stare fame), peter van hoesen, xhin, and many others. we kick off 2012 with this astonishing 4-track ep from detroits justin ivey, and if this is anything to go by, its going to be a hell of a year… justin ivey has been making uncompromising and challenging electronic music as dj adjust (and lowsh as well as theek) since the nineties, and he is also the founder of the beloved and highly influential cult imprint low res. while low res has always released records that reside somewhere on the extreme end of the electronic music spectrum (i.e. davros and ablecain) ivey isnt a purist - in fact, he is a true enthusiast of all types of electronic music, and it certainly shows on this 4-track ep.
