art reform– being newly invented, this expression has already come in view of the people who arent indifferent to electronic music.
sure thing, as the labels releasing vinyl in ukraine can be easily counted on the fingers of one hand. most of them have already fallen into oblivion having yielded to economic realia, but for art reform records it is just the beginning.
the evidence to which is the release from the main project ideologist, kiev resident joss. well-known for his devotion to vinyl and club rhythms joss has fully embodied himself in his debut plate artreform.

well roundeds unrestricted by genre label present to you 3 hype juke vibed bangers from atlantas distal. on >stuck up money< he hooks up with one of jukes leading talents dj rashad. dirty south battles chicago juke and everyone comes out a winner. drawled vocals against frenetic footwerkin beats makes for a fresh combination. on >behold the jungle< a massive musical quotation is submerged by a swarm of angry hoovers whereupon all manner of musical madness kicks off!! >short & sweet< cuts up the breaks over a rollercoaster of sub bass. belgian techno stabs contribute to the mayhem.

this latest release on well roundeds housing project imprint is somewhat of a departure. we came across this vocal track with a difference and were compelled to share it with your ears. videodrome are a brighton-based production duo who with have created something that seems at once very familiar but also strikingly different. the highly distinctive almost demonic vocal delivery of derek meins is here in all its lascivious glory riding a top a bold as brass synth-pop / retro-house hybrid with pure pop appeal. oh yes. donga & blake take the track into trademark deeper territory on the remix. support from martyn, mary anne hobbs, francesco farfa, dj ma1, benji b, hackman, xxxy & more.

dj support from: hudson mohawke, spencer (numbers), mary anne hobbs, hxdb, dj ma1 (rinse fm), sbtrkt, subeena, sines, hackman, seiji, xxxy, greenmoney, spatial, deadboy, graphics, ben ufo and more widespread radio support (germany. italy, australia / nz, poland, france...)

for well roundeds 11th release bristols skinnz drops a trio of infectious and melodic creations that share a kinship with todays garage and funky house sounds whilst standing apart due to their unique character. you may know sam from his other alias baobinga. he is man who commands much respect for his collaborations with people from a wide variety of musical backgrounds and his ability to channel his influences in an unforced and colourful way.
on the skinnz releases so far he has experimented with more garage influenced beats, while retaining his trademark focus on percussive momentum. however these tracks often flow freely across boundaries and genre limits encouraged to evolve in any direction that creates excitement. previous skinnz releases have already appeared on pinchs earwax label and boka records whilst his debut outing was on one of the first compilations of music that might be termed dubstep – the classic >our sound< album on destructive.

the proposition is a simple one. it was a 2009 when julio bashmore first remixed >heartbreaker< from deadboys classic first release - the >u cheated< ep on well rounded.
he remoulded the garage template of the original into something more immediate, replacing the swung off-beats of the original with driving forward-rhythms and a clarity of purpose that takes absolutely nothing away from the musical impact of the original. this circulated on mp3 and we smiled and danced.
unexpectedly, in 2010 jb returned to >heartbreaker< for a different interpretation. this time around a more haunting approach was the order of the day with cross-fading strings creating a soulful, otherworldly atmosphere. the drop this time also swapped sub bass for punchy 808s. a tantalising further alternative that pointed the way to this vinyl release.
back 2 back timeless brilliance for the dancefloor on our favourite format. get stuck in.

outboxx hail from bristol and like much of the great citys output their music has plenty of laidback style and vibe. jacob hodge builds the sharp beats, adds bass depth and controls the technology, matt lambert adds the authentic keys - rhodes and synth licks with beautifully judged hints of jazz, soul and vintage funk.

nice price deal !!! new label from the slow network superb 80s electro inspired house music.

the housing project is a well rounded sister label to concentrate closely on more recognisably house productions. the reason for this is because at wr hq house music is in our dna and as natural as air.
dj support from jacques greene, dark sky, julio bashmore, alex deamonds, xxxy, hot city, doc daneeka, deadboy, hackman, submerse, martyn, geiom, ramadanman, jamie grind, ..

nice price deal !!!

ltd repress, black vinyl

limited edition white vinyl, cover with golden artwork, including poster.

well rounded kick off 2011 with the deep space bump-n-hustle of littlefoots aptly named >interplanetary< ep.
all 4 tracks contrast tuff dry drums & low sweeping subs with cosmic atmospheres and twilight melodies and chords. theres a unique strictness in the drums here, less swung than typical garage but with innovative programming that shows a producer keen to explore new possibilities. as ever with well rounded and our producer friends, we are celebrating influences from the past - think classic 4/4 uk garage in the vein of dem 2, mixed with early 90s rave sounds and welded together in a motor city car plant. with added post-dubstep production sensibilities, littlefoot is creating an unheralded hybrid sound. all 4 tracks contribute to the completeness of the ep - we go in hard, explore different areas and complete our journey with the last track. we hope you enjoy this trip.

specialist interest is back!! with a huge release from mr. pete herbert, a tremendous release to inject a new lease of life into the label. a1: well heeled - melodic bass line with snyth stabs and arpeggio, a very big room sound. the track builds with a great groove and very spacey sounds. killer track!! a2: earthy powers - popping synth line really makes this track! gentle bass adds to the groove and widens the sound with a funky guitar riff adding an organic feel. vocal is a brilliant addition.

und wieder einmal macht rajko müller seinem namen als visionärer ausnahmeproduzent alle ehre. auf >well spent youth< setzt isolée erneut maßstäbe und liefert uns ein atemberaubendes album zwischen house, techno und pop ab. niemand klingt wie isolée. nicht mal entfernt. der name ist programm. in den letzten 15 jahren hat isolée es geschafft seinen eigenen trademark mit seinem atemberaubenden klangdesign zu kreieren. jeder ton scheint liebevoll aus den untiefen seines anlogen geräteparks gemeißelt und abgeschliffen worden zu sein, bevor er ihn in ein außerirdisches abstraktes, stetig morphendes und dennoch verbindliches und bouncendes klanggemälde savantischen ausmaßes einwebt. 1998 gelang isolée mit beau mot plage (playhouse) ein zeitloser geniestreich, der weltweit und genreübergreifende verzauberte und die grenzen der elektronischen tanzmusik neu auslotete. es folgten 2 hochdekorierte alben >rest< & >we are monster< auf dem frankfurter label playhouse und zahlreiche remixe für z.b recloose, blaze, franz ferdinand, roy davis jr , tiga, alter ego oder international pony. isolée erinnert auf einzigartige weise wieder einmal, wozu elektronische musik fähig sein kann und ist bereits jetzt schon ein heisser anwärter auf eines der alben in 2011!

c.r.s.t. are four producers from south wales who make all sorts of garage/house/funky

for release number 5 well rounded goes deep with the debut release from donga & blake.
label owner donga met blake when both djd at brightons forward thinking drum n bass night carbon spinning similar shades of the deeper end of dubstep. this lead to the idea of hooking up in the studio, and whilst initial experiments at 140bpm were promising, it wasnt until they decided to lower the tempos to housier speeds that their sound clicked into place. this sound is a balanced fusion of soulful house, deep textured techno and rhythms absorbed from garage, funky and broken beat. these 3 immaculate tracks have a simple appeal but also contain many layered sonic details for the closer listener.

for release no.4 well rounded records proudly present deadboy with his effortlessly hype >cash antics volume 1< ep. three r&b re-rubs that showcase his adeptness at different styles to suit all. the new tracks he has built to support the accapellas sound fresh, natural and exciting. on the a >way that i luv u< is a breathtakingly, heartbreakingly epic rework at dubstep tempo. over pon the flip >unofficial girl< is a gloriously anthemic soca-step bomb that is pure fiyah for the dancefloor. this is followed by >long way 2 go< - a sultry crunk-hop rebuild with some serious soul. dj support from martyn, trg, bok-bok, hot city, doc daneeka, greenmoney, ramadanman, blackdown, hackman, ikonika.... this year is going to be a big one for deadboy. dont sleep on this part of the story!

for their 3rd release well rounded bring you the imaginative and playful funky-influenced house sound of hackman. this ep is packed with punchy & polished productions and adventurous arrangements. we have curated 3 tracks that we feel demonstrate the breadth and potential of this exciting young producer based in leeds, england. on the a bodies is an ecstatic piano-driven belter with immediate appeal. the 4/4 drums drive hard, funked up with supple bass flexations, then punctuated with classic chords and catchy vocal cut-ups. what sounds simple here is carefully considered. a brilliantly constructed, exciting and peak-time melodic banger! on the flip surround leads the listener into more tropical terrain

5 track ep from cool hipster fan death who a re signed to errol alkans label phatasy.

after the success of the debut deadboy ep, well rounded records return to the fray with a seriously funky three tracker by brightons ultrasound.

well rounded records launch with the debut 3-track ep from the up and coming south londons boy wonder: deadboy! three instant and memorable dancefloor gems that effortlessly combine elements of house / uk garage & funky. all tracks are characterised by twisted yearning vocal hooks, classic analogue pads, substantial subs and crisp original drum patterns. there is style and vibe in abundance here as you will no doubt recognise! these tunes have already gathered notoriety thanks to their inclusion on influential mixes by the likes of jackmaster (wireblock/numbers), ben ufo (hessle audio), oneman & braiden (both rinse fm), brackles and shortstuff. deadboy has already been tipped as one of the producers to watch in 09 and this is likely to be a one of the 12s of the year.

like his dj status, as a producer, jesse rose is a guarantee. world-renowned for the sound he created with long term mentor and dubsided label boss dave switch taylor, jesse is now the guy you turn to when you want a dancefloor remix, lending his services to the likes of hot chip, simian mobile disco, underworld to name but a few. after the phenomenal success of jesse’s mighty debut album, >what do you do if you dont< comes the third single from the album – >well now<. if you havent already heard the hooky >well now< in the clubs or on the airwaves, where have you been? the original mix is exactly what you would expect of jesse with its cheeky vocal and typical comedy factor make this mix so catchy its hard not to recognise it after the first play. flipping over savage skulls add their remix treatment to the track. these talented swedish boys who already have a dubsided original release under their belt and a killer recent remix for major lazer, give >well now< their bass and bumps whilst putting a kaleidoscope of funk back into electro.

ltd repress !!! 3 stretched out and beefed-up edits of tracks that originally appeared as skits on the brilliant rockwell records label...tried and tested on the dancefloors of amsterdam - these are sure fire head rockers/ankle flexers!! >kutparra< is a contagious banger that makes you want to jump, like kriss kross used to do. >kutwell< comes as a catchy discofied house tune that reminds us of some detroit productions some years back.. this stays from though! >nosestep< finishes off in true aardvarck style.. a stripped down track with a bassline to kill for… bare essentials

after the brilliant albums by alex cortex, cim and lucky & easy, now the swedish volunteer dribs comes with this warm brilliant debut album. the ann aimee label specialises in warm, originally crafted, electronica sounds. where the two first albums had a touch of the detroit sound, the album by lucky & easy and this new album by dribs go more along the lines of plaid, autechre and boards of canada. the full sleeve artwork for this release comes again by delta.inc, who gave all releases of the label their remarkable outfits! as introduced with his blending ep, dribs is the newest scout on board. dribs, on earth known as fredrik stling, comes with this full 12 track album with beautiful carefully crafted electronica. all tracks come in gentle and easy, and in sound come most close to arovane or boards of canada. intruiging rhythms, together with the soft beautiful melodies, make this a perfect listening album for the autumn and winter to come. beautiful

the diva of dance music is back in full force! the legendary barbara tucker teams up with masterful ibizan dj/producer pepe tuccillo to bring us a brand new tune with a rump-shakin damn good set of remixes. the superb nyc producer/ dj alix alvarezs deep, dark & pumpin f1 series vox mix is only complimented further by going deeper into the disco depths of ibizan producer d. figuerettas dub. japanese tech producer hideo kobayashi puts forth a funkier dancefloor stomper remix which gets tougher once you get into his dub. already being championed in the uk as well as right here in nyc at louie vega & kevin hedges roots party, >one desire< is a simple straight up anthem easily bound for >most precious love< glory.

hot on the heels of her last feel good smash these times, comes kimaras latest jammer far away, with two very distinctive remixes, the first by distant musics jon cutler. one might think we picked jon because of his coincidental label/song title relation, but one would be wrong! we picked jon because his superb production skills. the man behind the worldwide triumph its yours, as well as many others, brings a good bit o bounce to the dance floor on this remix. his lush piano chords, funky percussion, and synth zaps are a perfect bed for kimaras strong vibrant vocals to lay upon. he also turns in a truly slick dub for those looking for a bit less vox. for those looking for more tech, one of our favorite new dance producers out of japan, hideo kobayshi, slings us with a tougher, warpier punch (and dub) that ll get hearts and feet movin in synch.

i get deep, i get deep, i get deeper. that should actually read he gets deep. dj roland clark, that is one of the rulers of the sermonizing vocal, roland steps up to the pulpit once again with his latest release, black in my soul, on king street. this man not only has black in his soul but also an excellent sense of humor, including the ability to work it into his productions, and thats something we all have time to appreciate. swedish producer extraordinaire tiger stripes pumps us full of his dark fuel creating an intricate, nicely rhythmic and dancefloor dramatic track. his dub vox retains its deep and dark stature but twist synths rolands voice into a fiendish narrator. west coast producer david hernandez funkifies this tune on his deep west mix but keeps the deepness well intact. say it loud and dance proud!

will to be well is the new studio album by dalhous, their second for blackest ever black. this double-lp reflects writer-producer marc dalls continued interest in the life and arcana of r.d. laing, but also alludes to more universal and enduring mysteries: the relationships between body and mind, illness and wellness, the physical and the metaphysical.

from the often indistinct morass of modern hip-hop comes something so singular as to merit special attention wrote the guardian about: brownstudys tell me more about bubble album, released on third ear in 2005. a most soulfully cerebral volume of no-pose wisdom. mojo wrote, musically: brownstudy evokes the clammy, distressed soul of sly stones riot, and the lush visions of 4 hero. life well lived is brownstudys new album. 11 songs (9 lyrical flows and 2 intrumentals).
