the neneh cherry & the thing collab-album receives a first-class remix treatment.

today we bring you the return of atelewo (osunlade & the pasta boys) with a classic follow up to the already well known label staple new day. this time we move a little further with a more percussive, brass driven soul song about what else but love. infinity proves to continue with solid production and sound of the teams collaborative efforts. sendai is a simple mood based groove honoring and acknowledging the loss in the tsunami of 2011. a simple gesture of remembrance this one adapts a local newscaster explaining the devastation and sorrow. as always we here at yoruba hope that this new release not only starts the new cycle of 2013 off well, but that it brings forth a new direction. enjoy!

toby tobias joins the d.o.g crew for release no. 29 and fits like the proverbial glove with an incredible ep which truly lives up to its name.its probably fair to say that toby is one of the unsung heroes of the uk scene having played a pivotal part in developing the underground disco scene of the late noughties. his late night audio parties alongside releases on rekids, lets play house, nang and quintessentials speak volumes as to the mans skills and fastidious nature and here he delivers what wed be so bold as to say his best work yet with the pathfinder ep.

this is what we call european union. a greek (mr.statik / bpitch) and two italian guys (cosmic cowboys / musik gewinnt freunde) team up for doing this record on the german rotary cocktail label and a french girl (molly / rex club, rekids) and a german gentleman (marc schneider / circus company) are doing great remixes of it. if the politicans would deliver such a good work there would be no problems around!

garben eden aka peter uertz describes himself as a dancefloor inspired electronic musician. no surprise then that his debut on lampuka explores this environment but on both the lighter and darker sides of the 4:4 camp. tracks are brimming with what are often experimental sounds, yet with solid grooves and production techniques throughout. uertz has definitely honed his own recognisable quality and his live sets are keeping the toes tapping in his home city of düsseldorf, but with recent releases on anton zaps ethereal sound (russia) and us imprint ectasy records alongside vakula on …

what a package – dj le roi (get physical, 1trax) delivers pure chicago house madness with hot remixes from kevin over (audio safari), nikola gala (rekids, suara, claap) and clio (saved, rawthentic).

taiki and nulight or to their friends rowan harrington and erka chinbayer have both been djing/producing for many years both in very different circles. taikis career started back in 2008 under his old alias name site 1 who was a house/electro producer. they joined forces and started working together in 2011 which now seems like a lifetime ago considering on what they have achieved in such a short time. when they first started out working together they were making a lot of dubstep, house and electro influenced bass music as we call it now. being heavily into garage, house and electronic dance music there sound heavily progressed across the spectrum of dance music. taiki and nulight released their first ep in february 2012 on subway recordings which gained a lot of support from the likes of mistajam, crookers, herve zinc, redlight, foamo, roska, benga, skream, adam f, hatcha, n type and more. gaining them a lot of frequent airtime on bbc radio 1, 1xtra, kiss 100 and rinse fm. now nearly a year and a half since they have joined forces, they have received massive support from some of the most respected djs out there not to mention air time nearly every week on radio 1 and kiss 100. with their next release on the horizon and due to drop december time 2012 on bengas very well respected label benga beats there is so much more that you will see from these boys and so much new material to hear.

mit den vier musikern der erfolgsband reamonn uwe bossert, gomezz, sebastian padotzke und philipp rauenbusch, und ihrem neuen bandmitglied thom hanreich (band vivid, solo: thom.) haben sich fünf menschen gefunden, die der enzyklopädie der musikgeschichte allesamt klangvolle kapitel hinzugefügt haben. alle fünf wissen gut, wie rock n roll schmeckt und wie ruhm riecht. und doch steht ihnen der sinn nur nach einem: musik, die mit ernsthaftigkeit entsteht, sich aber alles andere als zu ernst nimmt.

>stereotype< the second single from bristol industrial dub pioneer mark stewarts recent album the politics of envy gets reworked by a host of guest producers. hyper dub duo hype williams unravel stereotype into a fiercely breath taking dub-spectacle, unfolding three-quarters of the way through into a sky-bound grand finale. fred venturas italoconnection remix radiates with a cosmic-coated, sugary burst of popular 80s synth and as expected plenty of italo spark & flair. daniel b of front 242 pulls the originals fuse, and rewires it into what you would kinda imagine a 31st century electronica frankenstein would sound like. renowned techno figure perc gets angst and intense with a heavy, mechanical but beautifully crafted remix destined for the most no-nonsense of floors. chicago native chrissy murderbot channels the same high impact baltimore sound that you will find in machinedrum and schlachthofbronx productions, carrying us out guns blazing with ballistic footwork drum beat firing. finally, mark stewarts dub version of the song and a taster from his upcoming >exorcism of envy< lp to be released later in the autumn.

funked up raw chicago house monster

it has been a memorable year for the luv shack. release after release, props after props, watching the guys build on a solid foundations and take it up a notch each time. if you listen to their first release (again), and then this new release, you will see just how far they have travelled in such a small time frame. and yes, it started with a couple of mini compilations and eps to see what the reaction would be. the reaction was good, actually no, the reaction was great, the right jocks took to the guys and the early eps and hence since, the luv shack posse have been locked up in a studio ever since. they have been productive, and more to the point, excelling in that production. it is going to be a brilliant 2013.

every once in a while a record or in this case an ep comes along and its so bursting with feel good vibes that even the most cynical dance music listener cant resist. at the mere age of 19, francisco davalos is about to grab the attention of many. simply put, the young mexican has a superb ear for the language of music. after a recent 12 on nurvous (nervous records new sublabel), on the prowl finds itself lucky to land these four tropical themed disco tinged club bombs. with hints of what made tensnakess coma cat so successful the bronx skillfully puts together his tropical ep packed with plenty of playful pianos, strings, congas, marimbas... theres no holding back.

next up on rising japanese label >fasten musique< we have two dutch natives and members of eshu, ivano tetelepta and roger gerressen who released super slick sounds from fear of flying, sudden drop and wolfskuil, supplying the luscious and sharp modern minimal beats with beautiful floating synth melodies. another fresh dutch native ion ludwig is offering special remix

we have made no secret of our love for terrence dixon here at thema. after his thema debut with >the parkhurst<, a record that helped to reignite his career, we have seen the legendary figure move on to even bigger things, and we helped the cause even more just recently with his >the return< ep as population one on our chronicle sublabel. his resurgence has reminded us what always drew us and many others to his work from the beginning, and it is thus with immense pride that we announce minimalism re:vision, featuring remixes of terrence dixons groundbreaking minimalism part 1 from 1995.

3 chairs, omar s and patrice scott. this limited ep is testament to the wild basement energy that has culminated from these nights, beautifully pressed on wax for this first ever vinyl outing. remember is a swinging downbeat vocal track based around a superb vocal improvisation from newcomer chris raine. an ambitious opener, this is fine uk hip soul with warehouse dancefloor swagger to boot. next track, the benji b endorsed cookie strips the vocals right down into a swirling motif of sunrise energy. this track sounds great on the radio, but will also find favour on the more discerning soulful floors. for a contrast flip over for the kraftwerkian micro-tech of contact to hear what a werk party sounds like at a hazy-eyed 3am and finally, as if all this wasnt enough check out the dubby, spaced-out brawn of u&me which sees second outing for vocalist chris.... on this ep which rounds things off nicely. for fans of firecracker, exit records and prime numbers, this exciting and multi-faceted ep marries uk and detroit influences with consumate ease. one to watch... plays/ supported by benji b, rahaan, kev beadle, burnski, kevin reynolds etc.

das quintett von der walisischen westküste hat im londoner the pool-studio ein durchgehend feines album aufgenommen. musikalisch haben sich race horses von postcard bands wie orange juice als auch von dexys midnight runners beeinflussen lassen, tappen aber dabei nicht in die retrofalle, sondern kommen immer frisch daher. musikblogs lieben die band aus cardiff schon jetzt, das kommende album >furniture< wird für noch mehr aufruhr sorgen, und im november gehen die race horses mit bat for lashes auf europa-tour. das vinyl erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

ts7, fresh from reworking singles for afrojack and tulisa, presents >grade a<, a colourful basssline number. in what will be his first vinyl outing since 2008, ts7 utilises his 4x4 roots, working a clever looping bass to perfection with some neat vocal sampling to give it bags of dancefloor swagger. complimented by a heavyweight remix package, >grade a< certainly packs a punch. remixes come from hyperdubs walton and mista mens mella dee. walton delivers an incredible grimy rework, culminating in a series of earshattering breakdowns and some fantastic synth work that draws comparisons with some of wileys early productions. mella dee, meanwhile, moves away from his 8-bar sound as heard in coyotes debut release >ctrl<, and looks to house for inspiration with >grade a< receiving a thorough rework in that vibe. full of the sounds more familiar with his mista men productions but packing more of a grimy punch, mellas remix is a surefire dancefloor favourite.

after almost 4 years of silence tolcha are back with neustadt, another intense and suspensefully cinematic full-length lp. like the title of the record suggests, the berlin based four piece decided to pursue a neo-retro vision of a sonic after-future with this one. what does that mean? the record clearly leans on a motorik aesthetic, but all the while redefining it with modern production techniques and surges of their very own breed of dub, rather than rehashing genre related cliches.

a shift from monochrome to full colour sleeves signifies the start of a new phase for space cadets. the chambers of apogee ep comes from anonymous debutant lyterian, an exclusive signing to space cadets. masterfully employing the hypnotically dark rhythms of mid-90s jungle and applying them to a contemporary d&b framework ... the real question is just who is lyterian?
original sleeve artwork is once again contributed by us illustrator theo ellsworth. all vinyl pressed to extra heavy 180g acetate.

the >just for fun< ep starts with the title track just4fun, which in fact breathes fun and doesnt take itself too seriously. the funky and highly infectious keys and the butt shaking groove will remind you of a track that moodymann never made, but wishes he had. next comes unlimited01 with a joyful piano melody that would fit right into a french disco with a funkier version of alain delon behind the decks. still, the rhodes chords, the slow sexy groove, the vocal hooks will get you moving in no time. thang then goes into a more detroit beatdown direction with its deep chords and smooth pads. it creates a mellow atmosphere with an almost relaxed summer feeling. this is what a funky pimp would listen to on a night car drive. the ep ends with spiritual almost tribal rhythms. inspiration would be a nice soundtrack to a 70s orgy orchestrated by a groovy guru, surrounded by a magical circle of mystical dancers. over the top? sure, but the track would certainly get this party going.

special laser etched 180 gram vinyl, limited to 500 copies.
did you ever wonder what happens when a living legend remixes an absolute eskimo classic? the answer lies in dj harveys >beach to the bar< remix of mediterraneo by dr. beat from san sebastian. the lively track overlays a steady stomp of a beat with clattering drums, a walking bassline, and a bit of guitar shredding to create a full-force groove. as featured on the remixed disc of eskimonde - a decade of eskimo recordings, but now also available on a heavyweight 12 inch with a special laser etch.

in the beginning there was funk. some say it came from another planet, some say it was always here...what we know is that walker barnards has got the funk deep inside of him and with chapter 19 of the serialism adventure we share the journey with you.

dva started off hyperdubs barrage of albums in 2012 with his brilliant >pretty ugly<, and now closes the the year with the >fly juice< eps bumper selection of machine tooled tracks, each created for optimum dancefloor damage and road tested by dva, kode9 and a select bunch of djs. these tracks are a brilliant example of what he has been describing as power house for a while, a colourful chunky techno sound that switches up every 8 bars like grime and has plenty of shuffle and offbeat swing as a counterpoint to the 4/4 drums.

after what has seemed like 134 years of shame and reluctance of their own release, based on the fact that the unbeat- able thoroughness of the filthy and yet so unintentional live sets of the three fearless brothers schleck^stecker, these old warhorses are back for another round and on the way burning 4 sauna-sweaty, steamy joints into the grooves of the vinyl.

>output< defines analog modular sound designs with hypnotic beat structures. like all productions of lin/log organic electronic music is the main focus. his compositions defy conventional genre barriers and leave room for reflection and interpretation. but lin/log is also a young micro label for modular sound designs.

jack dice is a new project from john twells and walkmaster flex, now releasing their debut ep for modern love. john twells, amongst very many other things, runs the type label and has been producing music of various different disciplines and varieties over the last 15 years. although hes never released anything on modern love before, hes a long time friend and associate of the label. walker is the manager of main attrakionz and has been djing with them for the last couple of years as the official green ova dj. jack dice is fuelled by an interest in bass, twells being a car audio nerd and walker having an obsession with 90s southern rap music. these are their first tracks produced together, who know what might follow.

life recorder aka, kriss kortz, with his original mix of beyond taking us on a journey with clean crisp percussion and beautifully constructed stabs that melt and transform us into a head bobbing junkie. first on the remix is the machine kirk degiorgio, keeping his mix tight and ready for the big floors, concentrating your soul on what we can only describe as hard-boiled funk. the second course is landed on our plate by label head elliott dodge, maintaing his raunchy 909 undertones and reverberated stabs, keeping us waving for one more. detroit born dj3000 aka: frank juncaj, takes his adaptation of beyond far into club technos sweet harmonious land of uplifting swagger.
