italian techno heavyweights markantonio and rino cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is junction hands. revolution is back is the first full release under the junction hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent the napoli connection ep on adam beyers drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet. the title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but its the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive. the equally hypnotic and driving thing for hands follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of noise while the groove relentlessly works its magic. with junction hands theres yet another must-check name coming out of the neapolitan scene.

there is always an air of excitement in the office when the new dissonant drops with us. it may only be on its third release but marc antonas wonderfully fresh new imprint is making waves, and for all the right reasons. theres no relentless pr entertaining, popular genre chasing or laptop-loving >live< collectives here. no fuss, no bluster, just incredible music.

part ii ? axis audio. mokira once told kontra-musik that three analog tape echoes are needed to produce one mokira track. when listening to the track axis audio you can hear why. metallic bursts of sound hits like waves on an irish shore in autumn. kept together by a solid bassline and a fragile melody axis audio is an excursion in beautiful sounds. on the b-side, echospace (deepcord, modern love) makes you dance. it is distorted, it is minimal, it is raw and last but last not least, it is oh so funky. this track will move dance floors.

its been a long wait, but its about to feel very worthwhile. little barrie are back, and they have brought the much-missed spirit of real rock n roll with them.
the single features the track >surf hell< alongside the album title track and is available as limited edition 7 inch pressed on heavyweight vinyl.

the next release on claap is a joint venture between two label favourites. on side a, nikola galas >oasy< and >paradise (tool)< are two very tightly structured affairs! perfectly produced and oh so functional, they are another strong proof of the reasons for which nikola has been making waves in the scene for more than a decade. the overall feel in both tracks follows the same path along nikolas previous work on rekids and ibadan records, amongst others, along with releases on his own label escada music. we are also very glad to welcome a long time favourite john dimas. hailing from the beautiful city of thessaloniki in greece, john is a young and aspiring dj and producer who has been working with labels such as d julzs exciting bass culture. john has been steadily making a strong impression with his colourful, solid and passionate dj performances! >get it< is a very groovy, playful and smart track. reminiscent of older chicago house with a fresh touch. to round up the package, label head gummihz offers a disco orientated >get down mix...

if you have been exposed to this cultural phenomenon called electronic music for more than a while, you will certainly have in mind something more than bright sunsets and perfect waves when you evocate that part of our awesome planet called california. the west coast has provided an own-harvested sound that strives to differ itself from surrounding mainstream conditions, making it fine and classy when it comes to underground house and techno music. alland byallo aint no rookie on the issue, rolling beats for enough years now to need no intruduction. with productions on labels like dirt crew, liebe detail, dirty bird, poker flat or nightlight music (allands own imprint) he can be well considered like the last but one exponent of a whole lineage of californian producers.

a key member of the diynamic family since 2006, hamburg producer h.o.s.h. has revelled, not only in the success of the label, but also in the ever increasing waves of support for his own work. the back end of 2010 saw the release of his debut artist album >connecting the dots<. the ten track collection of dance floor cuts found critical acclaim from djs and press alike, with many featuring in a variety of charts since. as we enter spring and our landscape changes, it signals the perfect moment to present the first remix ep of the album. tasked with reworking the tracks are 8bit and katchul boss gorge, who breathes new life into the beautiful vocal number, >finally mine<. and poker flat chief steve bug, who leads us through a wonderfully deep, hammond masterclass. let the music speak

jackoff records is back with two excellent trax from berlins local hero oliver deutschmann. deutschmann is a regular figure behind the decks at panorama bar and also runs two labels, vidab and falkplatz, which have been making waves in the techno scene for some time now. for jackoff records, deutschmann has produced some of his most sexy house music to date but never forgetting his signature groove that no dance floor can resist. adding to the great package our friend, detroit s very own patrice scott, delivers a swirling remix full of emotion in true sistrum style. enjoy!

>13.0< is the reduced title of the original track, which reflects as well the puristic approach of the sound. oldschool manner meets analog waves on swinging grooves, that cleares the way across the galaxy. gabriel le mar pitches down the velocity and touches down on the magical fairys planet! his silver bullet is the game of dice and conjures the fairies with an ocean of moments in happiness, what ends up in joyful dancing. playing games has ever been his passion! the trip goes on in low level flight mode. the smalltown collective offers clearer strings with a dose of deepness. on his remix of >29.0<, steve coles shoots the fire with wide-opened claps and crunching the gear, while spreading the music by the machine into the width of the universe.

in just three years, berlin based artist dehnert has gone from unknown talent to underground hero with his very own >raw techno< sound making waves on labels like his own imprint fachwerk and now delsin, where he finds himself at home amongst the future music of talented cohorts redshape, a made up sound, delta funktionen and more. this ep is an introduction to his upcoming album framework - an uncompromising album made up of pure techno tracks of the sort youd expect to hear on the dancefloors of places like berghain or tresor. they go from pulsing and classic sounding to skipping and glitchy, through greyed-out and sandy via swinging and syncopated but always with a sense of restraint and control whether they are abstract, apocalyptic, atmospheric or whatever else. although his tracks are undeniably functional, at the same time, they are neither nondescript nor forgettable: somehow, through masterful sound designs and an accomplished knack for blending real tension and atmosphere with his obvious basic channel and berghain influences, mike dehnert manages to lock you into whatever mood takes his fancy with apparent ease.

it’s with a lot of excitement that archipel’s boss himself releases a vinyl extract of his album’s favorite tracks. while the album which consist of 2 cds, we thought some of the works would fit well in the hands of collectors who would push the tunes in their quirky sets. the opening track, titled “big trouble in little cave” is one that could haunt a techno party in berlin where in the breakdown, things just go out of control and while you think you can’t take anymore, the music takes you back to earth. tests have proven to be used with care, reports indicate some people reacted with a lot of noise. “dérape totale” is perhaps a cross of four tet releasing on raster noton. awkward combo indeed but the strange structure on top of weirdly arranged percussion is set to catch your attention and draw you into an inner journey. with the chance of having manchester’s dncn join him for vocals, pheek goes with his first interpretation of what a pheekie-pop tune could be: fun, intriguing and catchy! >follow the flow< is the closing track and is one build tension with surprising exploding percussion clashes on top of melodic waves.

tiagos >disambiguation< begins like an aural sea, with a surface made of synthesized swells that rise, fall and crest again. beneath these waves are briefly clangorous metallic noises, searing electro hisses, long-armed synth stretches, and a never ending beat. there are moments of understated beauty floating through this perfect marriage of disco and house, sounds that are there and gone: a bassline that stairsteps and synthetic strings that follow suit: playful keyboard melodies, and percussion provided by tiago himself, who fell in love with music when he learned to play drums as a kid. >nada a perder< (>nothing to lose<) shies away from the extravagance suggested by its name and instead feels relaxed – at least at its outset. against shape shifting synths and the sound of piano house, percussion takes a leading role here, including finger snaps and clanging cowbells. the energy builds to a peak but, even when things are at their most frenetic, this track never loses its studied composure. tiago mirandas remixes and releases have been issued on disco devil, italians do it better, rong music, ene, hands of time, eskimo and claremont 56. he is one half of dj duos slight delay, the sea power & change, and mendes & alçada, and also handles mutiple duties in the band gala drop. tiago has been djing seven hour sets almost every weekend for more than a decade at the infamous lux in lisbon, portugal.
