two giants in dance music, totally enormous extinct dinosaurs (aka teed) & eats everything, join forces for a beast of a release on crosstown rebels. the exclusive track on the forthcoming get lost vi mixed by teed, lion, the lion is a ferocious dance-floor destroyer with a crackling, tough exterior pierced by rave fx and suspended by deeper elements creeping into the mix. remixes come courtesy of dutch producer and 4lux boss, gerd, who turns in a more swinging and suitably bass heavy sub-tech mix with added synth-line as well as a deep dub version.

perseus traxx is no stranger to the legion of underground warriors who place quality above quantity, having released on bunker, m/o/s, photic fields, boe recordings, boomchik, chiwax, sequencias, and future flash to name a few, as well as being one half of nite vision with the man behind mantra/myriadd.the muses are the nine goddesses who promote literature, science and the arts, the personifications of inspiration. though only named and assigned characteristics as recently as the roman era, they were revered by the ancient greeks, who documented that them as having been recruited by the egyptian god osiris as he passed through ethiopia prior to embarking on a tour of asia and europe to teach the arts of cultivation to mankind. itís with this in mind that perseus traxx, makes his first release on newcastleís flight recorder label, delivering an ode to four of them directly rather than the forms they have inhabited while they visit him. bubbling and cutting, heavy synths and dusty tones are jammed out live to tape, ranging from the playful to the stark as they characterise the appropriately named tracks. an ordered tangle of wires and patching in a unique set of acid-free sonic experiments, that sometimes feel as cold and edgy, as they do warm and carefree.

located in eindhoven, the netherlands, ivo hartman has been producing and playing gigs using a variety of pseudonyms. presently, he is focusing on his own imprint ‘ivo hartman music’. this label will present his vision on todays (dub-) techno and acid. expect deep, obscure soundscapes and techno rhythms that seem endless. his first release “ih001&#8243,,, was well received by both acid freaks and techno heads from all over europe and beyond. so now it’s time for “ih002&#8243,,,, two brand new dark acid tracks on clear marbled vinyl

following on from the release of david ks well-received sneakers & playground ep, the unnerving pairing of nico & pherox (aka tim querengaesser) return with a record that is veiled by in a dark and mysterious shroud. nico (previously known as verena) is a young and fresh female artist, influenced from an early age by the classical work of her father (who worked as a music composer), whilst pherox is a more familiar presence in todays deep clubbing landscape, having released on mupa, catenaccio, dumb unit, stock5 and his very own label, slash. on this ep, the pair explore a broad palette of sounds, taking in italian horror film-esque chords, chopped and screwed vocal samples, rolling basslines, soothsaying vocals, drawn out fog horn stabs. this is deep music, flavoured by the nocturnal, tinted by the eighties, and ultimately full of originality.

decks tip! after the great success of veitengrubers supervision ep as the first degree record, the label now comes up with the second hit ep by a very well-known artist - nick curly. the smart owner of the famous and dearly beloved labels cecille and 8bit thereby is giving one of his rare guest performances on other labels. in addition these three tracks are his first ep after his debut album >between the lines< in 2012. by this record, we will divide the long and desperately awaited summer in three parts to cater for all tastes - deep (time will tell), techhousy (people) and a tooly (beat the clock) - available digitally and on vinyl. the time will tell ep is the typical nick curly sound with a fresh note of 2013. so we radially spread warmth and power with sun and sound deeply into your mind.

nice price deal !!! a super strong, well rounded ep from secretsundaze that re-affirms john dalys love for vintage sounds yet still appealing to todays dance floors

following on from the first well received instalment of fantastic mans fine choice series, we present fcr002. another brilliantly off kilter two-tracker which, again comes in the form of a nicely packaged mini slab of vinyl. early support from axel boman, session victim and san soda. no digital so get in quick!

revivra is back on gamm with two seriously well produced re-edits (or remixes?) on the soulful boogie tip. just like last time this is just not some quick 5 min fixes but hand crafted reworks that takes the original tracks to the next level with loads of added live elements. the a-sides take on midways set it out is so good it almost makes the original sounds like the remix. with a beautiful live string intro it explodes into a proper boogie winner that easily could have been produced by any of the big producers from late 70s. on the flip revivra goes back to his deep love for marvin with +11 min excursion of mercy mercy me. epic is an understatement!

der dritte raum dispenses with the pleasantries and hammers the sound system with his 12inch named doppeldecker ep from the upcoming album morgenland. what comes out is an artful and smartly grooving four-to-the-floor bass drum affine in a state-of-the-art der dritte raum style. all four tracks on the vinyl will conquer the hearts of connaisseurs and surely please the new tasteful modernists as well

what do you do when a live project exceeds its own ambitions? just keep doing the wonderful concerts and eventually head to the studio. sounds simple and conclusive. in the case of karocel, that was exactly how they went about it and surprisingly, all six band members made it happen. though the four marbert rocels, mathias kaden and michael-mitchi-nagler have known each other from their hometown along the gera-jena-erfurt corridor, and the karocel live shows have been well received: an album is an entirely different beast.

flexxseal is a new orleans/berlin based house and techno label. it serves as a platform for founder christopher joseph to release his own music as well as that of other artists

memento and french producer/dj okain are by all means a perfect match: the parisian artist is well known for his refusal to conform to mainstream club trends and for his personal and eclectic take on contemporary house and techno, while the italian label run by idriss d caters to the needs of the most sophisticated and well-read electronic music fans. both stand out as true purveyors of unique styles and great taste, and this release is no exception.

after the success of his debut ep back and forth, sasch returns with the much hyped and anticipated lazy strings. the ep features two new tracks from the artist and they are accompanied by two well crafted remixes from soul button and mario aureo

who shade is no other than danilo from lula circus! a new project which is more deeper and with some great disco influences. in my dreams is really a earworm! we love this amazing tune and also the remix from berlin based guys kollektiv ost, well known from her releases on labels like simple as that

roundtree could be the alias of a very well known (perhaps legendary) producer who might want to remain anonymous. we are not saying, or perhaps we just did, im not sure. anyhow, two rather crisp housers on offer here, *g-string diva* with its sharp as nails percussion and female spoken vocal which lends the track a nicely sleazy edge and *no need for the v* with its prominent baseline driven grove. enjoy!

kaoru inoue is well known under the name of chari chari aurora acoustic. and under the name of kaoru inoue the delivers fantastic mixture of his world music roots (asia,africa,dub etc.) and dance music production house, techno, breakbeats, downtempo.

vinyl only !! of course!! more than a year after his last ep, quarion returns to retreat for a fantastic expedition: a journey to the >moons around jupiter<. consisting of four tracks dedicated to the four galilean satellites, >moons around jupiter< is a sonic masterpiece that blurs the lines between house, techno, broken beat and disco. a certain detroit mystique (the futurism & outer space themes) also surrounds this mesmerizing ep which quarion himself ranks as possibly his best work to date … come and take a ride! we may share the ultimate bond with the moon europa: the presumption of oceans underneath its crust of ice as well as an atmosphere that is mostly filled with oxygen make this satellite a good candidate for possible extra-terrestrial life (more micro-organisms than 3-eyed aliens though). quarions >europa< hopes to reveal the secrets underneath the ice layer: beginning with a skippy beat and a tinkling piano, the track evolves rapidly as subtle keys and a cosmic choir appear from beyond.

one year old and four releases deep, retreat present its first 2010 offering with the long awaited second volume of the treats series. featuring 3 exclusive tracks from session victim and quarion, treats vol.2 showcases the producers ability to move beyond the traditional house sound, incorporating more soul and disco influences as well as coming up with a few surprises! session victim start things off with the magical danish daughters, a slow groover that begins in a gentle but assured way, sparking your interest with its infectious guitar and piano loop until the beat kicks in and makes you irrepressibly shake that thang. adding a synth line here or a bell sound there, the duo keep the pace of the track steady until a startling guitar riff breaks it down, giving way to the original loop to return in its full glory, complete with extra organ dashes!

crossing classic alleys with the eintakt 28 – another various artists compilation offering a warm summerblend of well grown techno/ house/ dub plants and vegetables. starting off with >>achim maerz<< and a harmonic drifter with just that tiny acid touch it needs here. then mr. >>dub taylor<< takes over with a wooden dancefloor spoon cooking up a decent mixture for the massive floor.on the b-side >>idealist<< reduces it to the max with the well known hits and drum bits and so fulfils his past future classic promise once more.fading out with >>pawas<< and his slight jazzy cold dubb (which is not so cold at all) and being aware it’s another proper piece in the eintakt puzzle

divine: the immobile odyssey. for a long time before the success of noze led him to discover the rest of the world, ezechiel pailhes remained a prophet in: his country. for a long time as well, he worked on creating what became his first solo album, waiting for the right moment when he could no longer contain all the melodies that populate this 14-leg epic.

paxton fettel intrinsically invites you to the very core of his soul with mana, a heart wrenching ode to suave and unassuming house music. real instruments and penetrating decisiveness serve an emotionally rendered piece of the blues, perpetually enticing mood binding empathetic maneuvers. paxton orchestrates feeling with musicality well beyond the average clique, despairing yet hopeful, slickly jazzed and upfront drumming produce a mad example of what he is capable of pulling off/straight out of copenhagen we get treated to yet another fine instance of a paxton fettel classic with they go unseen.

der vorabtrack made to stray aus dem neuen album cold spring fault less youth schlug in der weltweiten trendszene ein wie der blitz: von pitchfork bis nme, von fact bis resident advisor überschlugen sich die aufgeregten lobeshymnen zum ersten neuen mount kimbie material seit zwei jahren. das visionäre duo, seit seinem debüt als neue vordenker in sachen elektronischer musik anerkannt, hat die schwammige schublade des post-dubstep endgültig verlassen und entflieht mit live-instrumentierung, warmen keyboardsounds und geerdeten schlagzeugbeats der enge des dance/electro-kontextes. auch die verpflichtung des enigmatischen vokalisten king krule dürfte ihren anteil daran haben. die elf neuen mount kimbie tracks wirken reifer, selbstbewusster und noch mutiger, und ihr wechsel zu warp wird ihre entwicklung hin zu noch ganz anderen klanggefilden, kontexten und konstellationen weiter beflügeln.

chris spero (otherwise known as uk house and techno producer glimpse) and hypercolour co-founder and producer, alex jones, return once again as dense & pika to the hotflush fold with move your body back. having crept out of the shadows back in 2011 with a collection of white labels released through their own eponymous imprint, dense & pika went on to bolster their rising profile with the release of their hotflush debut (crispy duck) which landed late last year as well as with their memorable live set at hotflushs recent boiler room takeover. there is nothing chin-strokingly complicated or needlessly over-worked about their productions. they make interesting techno aimed at the dance floor and move your body back continues with this central aesthetic. the three track ep plunders percussive depths by way of stern machine rhythms, swollen low-end grit and the echoing, anthemic elements of warehouse rave techno. the title track of the ep may already be familiar to many having appeared on their resident advisor podcast in march and is already being played out by maya jane coles, boddika and adam beyer, amongst others.

ms. smooth socal soul meets mr. nocal dirtybird swagger and they have a baby together. that baby is justin jay and at 19 years old he is already making his 3rd appearance on dirtybird. i have a feeling this is justin jays breakout record. the a-side static is at 119 bpm and will sweep you up then rip your pants off. but even when you get hit with the massive bassline, an old school anchor stays intact. waves b-side has a classic deep dirtybird feeling, with tuned 808s and a surprising melodic element showing off the sweeter side of this up and coming young gun. justin jay has more potential than anyone i have heard in a while and if he continues to play like he has been lately, he has a long dj career ahead of him as well.

when it comes to fusing the classic sounds of 90s us house and uk garage, dale howard is our man! like on his previous bounce back ep, his new phase 4 ep is a great example of house and garage, with raw subby bass lines, kicking drums combined with smooth hypnotic chords and a well balanced deepness. ready for phase 4?
dale has been delivering the goods for quite some time now and it becoming a regular guest on top labels like local talk and noir.

alan fitzpatricks new ep in the beginning makes the most of the industrial techno style with ambient percussion to create space and rhythm giving in the beginning a big warehouse feel. the droning synth carries the track through before a melodic synth line gives the track the boldness that has seen the alan fitzpatrick sound become infamous around the world. lexicon uses a pitch bending synth as well as old-school synth strings and pads to create another atmospheric track that will be a staple in any techno set

oh cruel science is the thirteenth enklav release, the second to be printed on vinyl, as well as the second work for enrico luccheses project evn.after his first mini-album cloche insecure, a 56 minutes journey in a dilated abstract land stretched in long dreamy melodies and at times crushed by squelchy fast beats, evn presents his more beat-oriented work.oh cruel science is a 5 tracks ep in which noises, synths and drums create evolving hypnotic textures, imaginary landscapes of repetitive pulsating patterns composed to be a complete physical-emotional-intellectual experience. evn sounds come from the use of analog modular synthesizers and digital machines with which he creates his own timbres and structures starting from scratch through the manipulation and modulation of raw waveforms and noises by means of meticulous patching and looping techniques.

matthias meyer is back with another ep on liebe detail. well known for his silky smooth arrangements and emotional, building tracks, meyer offers us a dreamy, enchanted synth n strings package with his ostinato ep

humans are an abstraction of animal life form – and this is their soundtrack. on the first release monomood shows some light. but the light is pulsating in stroboscopic rhythms and enlightens shadows of moving creatures locked into a murky basement. if this is too disturbing for you, the well known grounded theory mastermind henning baer slows down the frequency to turn the raging floor into a dark moving mass hypnosis. after that you can recognize some dark scientists are brewing a fascinating cocktail out of boiling bass anddistorted sounds capes. drink it and you will know!

ok, first of all i want to reveal a myth: these infotexts are mostly writtenby the labelowners themselves, not by hard-working editors. so what happens, when the guy behind a label releases his own music? well, either he is a well-organised deadline-machine and he asks somebody capable of doing this stupid job, or he realizes:
>oh fuck the distribution whats to do their work and they needed thissheet weeks ago...< so in the end, hes gotta do it himself: of course,now i could tell you how great this record is (what it is!) and what ahell of a motherfucker i am (also true!)... but i prefer telling yousentimental other bullshit instead... :)
this ep marks a newbeginning in my career. since some time now, >the fog burns off< and we get more and more stable in the buisness. last year we were on the road quite a bit and we found many new friends. people from other cities, who believe in the same things, who do similar stuff and who are of the same kidney as we are. so that makes me very happy, which reflects in the music. for the first time i feel like coming home, although we are at the beginning of our journey into the industry yet.

bursting into 2013 with a heavy dose of house, we see new leeds based, vinyl only imprint dish up a tasty serving of well cooked beats.

the new >5 seiten ep< by 60 hertz contains plays with the space in which it is meant to be played. corners. in a three-dimensional room. six two-dimensional surfaces. twelve edges, four sides the same length – parallel to each other. well, thats the theory. from outside one can only see edges, yet it is well curved inside. at first sight you wouldnt get it. you only see what you figure out. the question is - how deeply can you discover a space you dont understand? a fifth level, a fifth surface, a fifth side.

with mgf022 we open the sound-universe with and for ilia ferrein from novosibirsk, russia. with meeting sea & hover, ferrein creates a perfect, clear, dreamy and reduced as well as an euphoric dubsound atmoshpere, with little moments full of magic melodies. the proper counterpart and highlight remix on the b-site is presented by doyen robag wruhme. there is no further introduction needed, we think...his remix of meeting sea includes his typically energetic, nearly hypnotic sound and it grooves as always keeping the focus on the original track at the same time.

ltd 2013 repress, vinyl only release. dutch newbie ivano tetelepta steps up to the plate for his 2nd release on fear of flying, >i think about you< is a sleek slow burning groove with hypnotic undertones, the repeated female vocal and sharp hi hats giving the track its dance floor impetus. >taksi< takes an altogether different path - pumping up the beats for a slice of pure peak time phunk whilst >open moment< injects a light melodic feel over dubbed out beats - one for early mornings and a fine way to end a really well balanced release.

analogue mapping sees meanwhile founder robert lawrence return to production duties as bovill in requisite fashion after a four year absence. in this time lawrence has focused on establishing the london label as a worthy outlet for the deeper echelons of techno with material from murmur, sven weismann, bvdub and conforce. spread luxuriously across two slabs of vinyl, the six tracks allow bovill to make room for soothing, dubby moments that ease you in as well as productions characterised by their driving drum and chord arrangements. see the spine tingling opener so it goes for evidence of the former whilst neap and hunt or herd? provide perfect examples...
