two dreamy indie-rock edits by night plane finally show up on wax – the first a haunting slice of deep house replete thats been melting hearts since soul clap dropped it at wmc. it comes paired with a near-ambient dub remix by g$ from w+l that sounds like sade in outer space. >its always the same< takes a throwback sensitive-man vocal with a soft rock touch and layers it into the trippy beached-out chugger it was meant to be.

throughout a recording career spanning almost two decades, dj stingray aka. sherard ingram a.k.a. urban tribe has consistently avoided the mainstream to create a musical world of his own. responsible for the early techno classic >covert action< on retroactive (reissued on planet e), ingram was joined by carl craig, anthony shakir and kenny dixon jr. (moodymann) for urban tribe s debut album >the collapse of modern culture< on mo wax and their latest project >program 1-12< released on kenny dixon jrs label mahogani music and the recent >loyal opposition< releases on planet e. touring as drexciya s official assault dj, stingray collaborated with james stinson for the >other people place ft. mystic tribe a.i.< project on clone in 2002. his two recent albums (>authorized clinical trials< and >acceptable side effects<) and singles for rephlex have remained true to their drexciyan descent, not through imitation but through remorseless innovation in electro aesthetics.

mad crazy come back from underground legend nathaniel x project. after releasing some heavy heavy deeeeeep works on label such as music station or island noyze back in the early 90s, here is a killer set of previously unreleased jewels. discograph is proud to entroduce this new label dedicate to the early days of real underground house sound. always pressed on quality 180gr vinyl with an inside out groove. future collector piece of wax for sure.

las wax returns with a tight two-tracker of deep techno-house couresy of japans takayuki higo. this is definitely a departure from the typical wax sound, but this record still works nicely. a-side >big head house< has a dope minimal detroit feel to it and fits nicely with some of the recent techy output on wave. flip for >wicked tokyo< which is a blissfuldeep tech excursion for the late night sets. if you like francois ks techno side and jeff mills going deep, you will dig this newie.

uhhh my god! this is sheer madness! you cant put more powerful unbelieveable murder mashup breakbeat on one record. this is the total dancefloor killer wax. 5 big names and 4 huge tunes. from crazy fun breakz over cool funk grooves to skanky breakbeat madness and blasting broken beat disco style. anytime in any set you can include this nugget of gold and get the crowd banging. have it!

the new deep moody and soulful imprint of alex q which is known from the releases at musik gewinnt freunde label and the cliff01. no digital release! just listen to the music on wax

gunnar stiller has always been known for producing dance floor >destroyers<, even if >far from okay< sounds a bit like a floor wax accident theres no need for the timid raver soul to get worried about slipping and falling. soft accords sedate the mind, the bass pumps in the adrenaline and a voice softly whispers that everything is going to be just fine…all you need to do is dance. when the janitor loko mops over the uy 038 floor with his remix you can even walk over it on the highest of high heels. it does in fact, get a bit rougher when the lights go out on >some kind of weird< and the smoke machine goes starts pumping. thats when its >black piste< time and thats no place for heidi klum or techno beginners…but who wants to be a model anyway, right?

the >captain deutschland serie continues on the vinyl only format and is limited to 300 copies, all hand numbered.
dandy jack is well known for his multiple collaborations. its now about time to lay them down on wax.
the second chapter is a honest, loud and direct ode to the joy of queen bass. if you are searching for deep house and abstract minimal you should better pass your way.
dandy jack teams up with geneva fellows lad and quenum on the a side for what could be described as a tremendous and heavy ride into the catacombs of techno. sonja moonear has a slightly happier and smoother answer on the b side and challenges us with a long and percussive intro that leads into a melancholic twist. quenum and lad arent new to the electronic music and have been active over a decade. they have already been working together for labels like num and thema. sonja is dandys partner in crime as junction sm and ruta5s half head.

running and releasing on the labels equalized, wax and subsolo, shed managed to become one of the most influential artists in todays techno, house and dubstep genres.
the vinyl version of his new album >the traveller< will be packaged in a luxurious gatefold cover.

produced by visti & meyland

our pioneers on the intriguing austrian dubs frontier, return with this their second outing on wax - group niob, the collaborative work of both label heads gerhard potuznik and martin sovinz. >vector< continues further with exploratory mining into the oneforty bpm dubbed into technoid seam - its low end is devious and drills itself clean inside the synapses, mirages of dub cascading either side.

now on the 7th release this label is not firmly established as one of the uks finest hardcore labels. this time autopsy has a solo outing on his own label. 4 amazing tracks that you may have heard him playing live recently finally get their appearance on wax.

first on decks.de !!! madrid based jesus gonsev from the troubled kid camp appeared somewhere around 2008 on our radar but has been djing in spain and outside and being also part of the renowned deephouselovers collective for the past 10 years. after his debut (>manhattan wax<, together with dj ino) on progcity last year, he is now back with a super versatile four tracker all produced by himself. we are sure you will recognize the typical gonsev-touch on all these tracks, something you won t hear anywhere else. it may be the use of the strings or the warmth of the pad sounds, it sure makes you feel good to listen and dance to it. additionally >peanut butter pie< vocals performed by vincent inc. supported by ray okpara (oslo,cecille), llorca, brother s vibe,....

nice price deal !!! incl william kouam djoko and m.in remixes!! massive support: marco carola, paco osuna, nick curly, matthew dear, kabale und liebe, danny tenaglia, alex celler, boris werner, luke solomon, chris carrier, mathias kaden, affkt, rhadoo, arado, liapin, mihalis safras, varoslav, oleg poliakov, delete, anthony collins, edgar de ramon, jairo catelo, tania vulcano, alex neri, leix, edu imbernon, timo maas, federico grazzini, andrew grant, onno, quentin harris, brothers vibe, tom wax, jonnas snauffer, piok, isaac fabregat, and more

the second and final part to mossas massive album is festine pt.2. the first part was crafted for a more big room, late night feel and for the second slab of wax were going more for the bouncier out-door, summer fun time feel. there were so many moods on this full-length that we were able to craft specific types of eps. to some this may be more of the sound they come to expect to hear from mossa but we know him best, he has flavors upon flavors, which is very obvious on this ep. hes a hard artist to stereotype, exactly why we had to have him on thema. so for this excursion we have a tango-esque dance floor prime time buner-buleria, that will make you slam tequilas like the true lushes we are. on the flip side we have pezzner of freerange and dave aju of circus company delivering some sultry, tangy, funk for the body

the environmental radiation dose on the moon ep is the first collaboration between zooloft and aconito records. the two labels are twinned in exploring the limits of techno, experimenting with structures and sequences and ultimately arriving at the place where the deep and dark sublimes. the ep opens with the child that was watching the moon a track lifted right out of the drone-techno hymnal. it starts with muddied, subterranean bass and builds not just outwards but inwards. filled with obtuse references and metallic rasps the atmosphere created is obscure and spectral. on the reverse the moon that was watching the child sounds like its been exposed to radiation. the sounds are distorted, as if created from samples of the genome unzipping. the arrangement is stunning, bells filter in and out and the layers smelt into one another. there is awe at work here, but its an awe that remains underpinned by terror. this release, mastered in berlin at the legendary calyx studio, is something of a record collectors dream. it will be released on solid silver vinyl in a very limited edition of just 200 copies. za000ltd should be enjoyed on wax, this wont be available digitally.

two new house tracks twisted, chewed up and spat back out on wax by marcellus pittman on his own label unirhythm. marcellus has had a great year of releases so far with his unirhythm green 12 inch and the well received ep on the fit sound label. this one is slightly smoother, jazzier, and still with that nice masculine pittman groove!

dead young records is proud to announce the release of their second limited edition, poster-dressed, wax-sealed, hand-stamped & numbered 10 inch vinyl compilation ep: dead young club volume 2. limited to 500 copies.

loved by daniel sanchez, hawtin, paco osuna, loco dice, stephan bodzin, karotte.... arrived at the first compilation of bla bla 013. just the few best track on wax. tracks of known and unknown talented producers from all over the world. we only wanna say let the summer begin

four cool deep and tech house tracks from uglh & federico locchi, men in trees, art bleek and solan.

we no speak americano reached no. 1 on several charts, been no. 1 on the club charts for the last six weeks in australia.... similar success is in the netherlands, germany, greece and italy, where its signed to the major independent dance labels. for yolanda be cool juxtaposition is everything: bow ties and converse, hip hop and techno, animal noises and nightclubs, pretty girls and tattoos... unused hotel rooms! so yolanda and dcup apply describe >we no speak americano< as >party tech.< sylvester martinez and johnson peterson, aka yolando be cool are rapidly becoming a household name in contemporary clubs. their tracks have been licensed to compilations such as fabric 59 and fake bloods wax on mix compilations and have signed tracks to herves cheap thrills label.

mr force funk is coming hard! fukk he produced with his buddy kutmah mixed up with own jams and other collabs... its his first tracks on wax!! crazy ass shit that can t be categorized (but i m sure some stubborn journalist will come up with something to avoid he is getting confused). fusing p-funk, electro, disco, electronix, rap and everything dirty, pure and with soul! oh and for the trainspotters... yes that is an old obscure legowelt track used for split!

resident advisor+abe duque contest winners on a slap of wax. very limited 200 pressing. here and gone. check the mixes.

massive cool acid banger! hot reverse spining wax

argenis brito and los updates. two of the most left -field exponents of chilean dance music armada get together on vinyl. argenis, born in venezuela, was given a chilean club passport by luciano, pier bucci and villalobos a long time ago due to his outstanding services as a producer, singer and overall party raiser. he met los updatess boss jorge gonzalez in new york in 1994, while attending a wu tang clan show. on this brand new release they offer >valparaiso< and >don t take candy from strangers<, you can smell the delicious scent of an instant classic emanating from the deeply grooved wax

the finest releases of french way of house lab finally on proper wax!

if there was one secret weapon to win a war for real techno music it is realmz out of pittsburgh, pennsylvania. after a series of digital only releases on sonic groove over the past three years, the timing for realmz to hit with a 4 track ep on black wax is now with sonic grooves huge 20th anniversary event and label celebrations. the music of realmz can be classified as deep, dark atmospheric, detroit styled techno with an industrial twist. realmz is for sure a name you will hear a lot more in the near future.

italys marco donnarumma indicated some of the potential of his kuoyah project with last aprils digital release for frijsfo, earning enthusiastic tips from the likes of boomkat. nonetheless, theres no doubt that his debut on wax ups the game ? even in the face of a mix from sully ? by applying a focus capable of working magic in 2010s open-ended dubstep dance. its an overused comparison that probably deserves to be buried, but angel dub does reek of horsepower productions, or more precisely the ducking 2-step and basic channel steals of benny ills classic tempa ep with hatcha.

the third release from zooloft, again by giorgio gigli and obtane. contextualised in monochrome is brilliant wax featuring dystopian visions, collapsing psychedelics and raw techno. smear, from forward strategy group, delivers a proper grinding remix that will bring you into a dimension of electricity and tension, optimal for futuristic dancefloors. 200 limited & hand-numbered copies, no digital.

meet desto. we found him wandering the streets of helsinki, eating canned tuna and drinking the water from a tin of hot dogs, desperately clutching armfuls of sticky future garage. starting off in spacey 2step rhythms, falling over bassline, and breaking down into an euphoric 8 bit cascade, the epic >disappearing reappearing ink< finally reaches wax after being in the boxes of pretty much everybody all year. on the flip, >broken memory< was given its first exclusive airing by oneman on radio 1 to much acclaim, and takes more of a straight up approach, and retains all of the fluid c64 chiptune beauty.
dj support from rob da bank, oneman, brackles, sinden, floating points, clouds, mary anne hobbs.

a 14 minutes epic track, extatic keyboards, melancholic strings & raw beats…call it house, techno or what you want, this is an outstanding soulful piece of music written by the electronic chameleon ripperton. from analog to analog, dedicated to wax lovers.

nottinghams wigflex camp returns to wax with another implausible display of style, forsaking their 4 track sampler style for a double header on platter number three. featuring one half of the duo behind the blossoming blunted robots label, shortstuff, and previous wigflex contributor, and the only artist to appear on all of the labels releases to date, taylor, the longer 12 inch format lends itself beautifully to the producers who both get the chance to build tracks that exceed the 7 minute mark.

nice price deal !!! sr.click (juanjo matos) is an experienced dj from the end of the 90s who started producing electronic music in 2003 and in 2005 co-founded the inoquo netlabel. his minimal techno productions show an experimental spirit who has been able to assimilate many samples and mix them with galloping grooves, making up his unique style. after playing in sonar 2008 and participating in angel molinas wax session 3, the new techno label flatmate music based in barcelona is now releasing his first 12 inch.

encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

supported by miss kittin, chloé, dubfire, tobi neumann, phonique, reboot, kiki, piemont, bukaddor & fishbeck, gregor tresher kaiserdisco, markus kavka, deepchild, igor tchkotoua (pig and dan), tom wax, mihalis safras, dan curtin, orde meikle, blind minded, patrick pulsinger, gurtz!! famous for his skills of cutting up whole disney cartoons and converting them into a sparkling groovy beat, also >reshef< has that unbelievable funkiness combined with a freak out madness that has helped butch to rock the biggest dance floors around. introducing his famous rain drops and flutes butch has acquired a toolbox of sounds that he delicately layers and enhances. building up a subtle tension and keeping it low key all through the track, his breakdowns are always what one is looking for. on the flipside of the record we find an überfunky remix by his close friend amir.

big with: loco dice, seth troxler, ryan crosson, guy gerber, shaun reeves, robert babicz, tom pooks ...
ok now. we got our new storming release on highway ready to rock! body-movin, heavily dub influenced and indemand ep by wols (a new dubby astrobard-hop project by krasnodar based modul guys well known for their level, harthouse, pro-tez and ostwind appearances and distinctive deep electronica sound). this hot piece of wax will surely take you on a fully energized trip. original >bushmans oversized vibe< is a heavy ethnic floor stomper - broken, flowing and absolutely magnetic. filled with headbanging twisted vocal cuts and ancient mojo rhythms it will launch your spirit far beyond the neighbourhood. this is a definetely high quality explosive vibe tribe dub-unit! but even dont try to stop here - continue the ride with great remixes by guti (from desolat stables run by loco dice) and greg parker ...

mike dehnert delivers with this 12 on his own fachwerk label. after the stir of his limited md2 release another piece of black wax with some heavy deep bass driven techno tools. 3 powerfull overwhelming tracks that are still subtile and classy. 3 tracks that slowly push the bounderies of techno rooted in the berlin traditions mixed with some detroit flavor. especially the b track is a true killer with 90s style open off beat 909 hi-hats and great tension. wont be in stock forever... dont sleep!

>sweet devil< by pirupa & pigi might be their best work to date. its a full on detroit tech house banger with a very catchy vocal hook on it. this one grows with each listen and whats even better is - it really works in the clubs!
>sax on wax< by sabb & s. elezi is a delicious slice of deephouse with sax snippets and a solid, deep groove. perfect for the warm-up hours but will also work a treat for the late-night morning sessions.

classic italo, considered by some to be the top italo tune and on a million italo comps, but here on wax

3 new edits by mike simonetti of italians do it better. three post punk jammers put to wax. part one of his mike series. mike decided not to go the typical route and edit rare baleric tracks or unknown boogie. instead he went into his past as a punk and did some re edits of post punk gems. you may recognize some of these toons. he promises to bust out the rare joints next time.

after a brief hiatus, we return with a delicate slice of wax that epitomises what ldr stands for ? new, original music from hardworking, young artists. after the success of datas >blowpipe< on ld5 and a string of genre-busting releases on labels like metalheadz, critical, revolution and tempa, data brings us a grimy gem in the form of >liberty city blues<. incident from hungary and paul sg from austria blew us away with this track which featured on our recent knowledge magazine cover cd mix.
>liberty city blues< is a minimalistic piece of jungle music reminiscent of early photek or source direct. from the outset the tune just bubbles with menace and keeps on building and evolving throughout. a pure bass-heavy slice of proper jungle.
>autumn drops< is a soulful roller that shows that this crew are ones to watch in 2010. full of melancholy, icy vibes and a subtle basslinethat gets right under your skin, this track is a firm favourite for this year.

hardcore breaks and electro funked gear from kevin harper aka half of the original nightmares on wax duo.
