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 …

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

>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.

incl 2 bit crew, lgg, volta cab and rosenhaft. 2 bit crews just cant seem. taking a sound heavily influenced by the underground house music / garage sound of the 90s, this is a bumping groove with a driving bassline and hatswith a simple female vocal sample that will stick in your brain. the second track takes things deeper with bastien carrara aka lgg with let me, smooth rhodes chords with a love sensation sample underpinned by raw beats and sub-bass. on the second side things get a little tougher. the third track is from a producer who has had many releases already on labels such as balance alliance, seven music and undertones, konstantyn isaev, better known as volta cab. his track what is underground focuses primarily on a killer bassline, retro synth stabs and a cheeky hip-hop sample used to great effect. finally is haim rosenhaft, a young producer from israel with 1992, his homage consists of an old school organ sound with heavy kicks and snares influenced by the sound of labels like umm and cleveland city in the 90s. again this will be a vinyl only release

old friends quenum and lad are joining their forces for the 3rd time to make a beautiful trippy track called ithaca in reference to the greek poem of cavafy. this long melodic exposure is completely suitable for dance floors with strong and powerful bass groove mixed with subtle harmonies and melodic sequences. the track gives us this idea of a voyage full of adventure and full of discovery. and as the moral of the history says what is important in life is not the destination but the path. it is also true in music. think about it.
