der drummachine-mann kehrt zu permanent vacation zurück! tevo howard hat in den letzten jahren die discokugeln seiner heimatstadt gründlich abgestaubt. 2010 hat er auf permanent vacation bereits die großartige ep what is noise? veröffentlicht. nun fragt er uns - what is sound?. seine antwort könnte klarer nicht ausfallen: die vier chicago-house-tracks dieser ep sind heruntergestrippt und ungeheuer hypnotisch, so wie man es von tevo howard kennt. das spektrum reicht von deepen party-startern über technoide banger bis hin zu tracks, die eine große nacht adäquat ausklingen lassen

psychemagik return to their disco imprint label discotheque wreckers with a fresh new 12inch of unknown nuggets and killer edits. the first cut what a funky night as the title suggests is a raw funky disco floorfiller, a freaky blend of euro rap and oddball new wave femme vox, from austria of all places, the b side rounds off the 12inch perfectly with a dubbed out, arpeggiated krautrock jam, with freaky vox, funky guitar licks and nasty ass drums makes this an essential crate dweller!

here we are with 2nd release of the geneva based label caduceus records!
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.
we have also the honor to have a beautiful remix of the master of the genre petar dundov. he borders with sublime with his interpretation of what ithaca should be ...

if the black monolith tycho magnetic anomaly one from stanley kubricks classic 2001 felt like partying, he would be throwing his rocks in the air to the vibes from barnt, even without having arms or legs. it is probably because is this what they were born for? is not the first time the dj, producer and co-founder of magazine (barnt, not the monolith) orchestrates his profound knowledge of true cosmic sound design in the most convincing manner.

big with: mosca, eats everything, deetron, gerd, droog,… a marriage made in heaven on this white label 12 inch from huxley, one of this years biggest names in house music and the legendary producer mk. the original of no matter what sits neatly between house & garage with an original vocal providing a mesmerizing hook. the mk dub delivers on every level and is classic mk with his trademark organ bass and stuttered re-working of the vocal

paper recordings continue their journey back to plastic with another vinyl release once again proving why they remain one of uks best loved labels. jamie l is a mysterious figure of undisclosed origin and history who fits in to the moodymann / theo parrish mold of heavy future disco, which his new production >(what we saw) in the burg< nails. it is a heavy leftfield groove laid over broken house beats with a filtered bass, samples and leftfield vibe. the detroit pad creeps up to the break and filters in and out as the track works its way through for locked down dance floor business. next up, havana candy breaks out the analogue and takes things deeper and techier. with a rolling bass and tweaking acid line, it cuts to a rhodes before filtering down and riding back to the heads down groove. cottam steps up for paper for the first time and demonstrates what all the fuss is about with a very special mix. clocking in at 9.41 it is deep, tough soulful house that crosses the 4/4 divide from techno to disco and deep house to soul.

>bored of shit< is the first release from new label k!ssa records. it follows dollskabeats debut >zodiac rising / no breaks no sleep< ep, which grabbed the attention of the music press, radio 1 and 6 music back in 2009. an electronic punk sneer and light-hearted grump at the state of modern popular culture, >bored of shit< is perhaps not what people might have expected as a follow up from dollskabeat but either way, it is a sure fire dance-floor filler. the ep also features an exquisite remix from vakula who described the track as impossible not to dance to and guest bass playing from firecrackers fudge fingas. keep your ears peeled for future dollskabeat release >so long for a small storm< - a mould-breaking piece of electronic music that will pick up where she left off. pressed on 180g vinyl and mastered by matt colton at air studios.

with what might turn out to be one of the biggest tracks of the year, the massive what i might do by ben pearce is here. solomun, seth troxler, david august and jamie jones are all already on board with championing this slick combination of raspy soulful vocals and irresistible grooving deep house

sunwalkers is the b-side project of rks, thats what happens when the power of the beats meets the light of the synths. a raw mix of miscellaneous pad and analogue drums that start with a tribute, a detroit reminding track, 303 acid bass and a blaze of sweet melodies, like the old school way says. the ride goes on with 2, an easy dancing jam, the piano chords run into an unceasing clap for a massive dirty floor killer. on the b-side terrence parker puts his groovy piano style on a brilliant remix of the light, seven minutes of pure detroit parkers energy with a dreamy heartbreaker bridge.

to do things, that are not quite usual, free from standards and away from drawer think is here the topic of the next sono vivo catalog number. there are every time again different >things<, that influence the emotions and the life of one person. and that is exactly what wigbert wants to express with his new single >things<. the focus of things is the acid similar moogbassline surrounded by percussive and drum-like elements, which produce a special groove. slowly and full of energy one increase after the other devolopes during the track, until it reaches its peak after the break. souvenir and freebase records artist chris wood took the original track and created a nice tech house remix quite to his style. with a mixture of techno and tech house, old school and new school the topic >things< is brought expertly to the point and you can find it to the peaktime on the dancefloor for sure!

treibend und impulsiv kommt die naechste impulsa....von nello falcitano (italia) & pedro campos(chile) im techhouse style. begleitet vom tholli&langmisch rmx(thokadee rec.)

classic disco stuff !

local talk is proud to present the first release on their sub-label 1nce again. this is where we bring back classic and forgotten house gems from back in the day with new mixes and reworks. with the second release on local talks reissue sub label, 1nce again we bring back one of our personal underground favourites from the golden age of house music (the early 90s). back in 1994 mateo & matos released an ep on black label records entitled raw elements, which included an amazing cut called >maw basics<. its one of those raw 90s house jams that got the house bump but without the pump, its rough and funky but still deep if you know what we mean? no cheese in sight! together with the original track (now fully re-mastered) we also asked gerd (4lux, ny stomp) to make a remix that would stay true to the original but still bring it to the next level. the result is absolutely amazing and we are pretty confident that this baby will deliver knock out punches every time it blasts through a massive sound system in a proper club.

here is what we know about luv*jam: known to his mum as andrew cole, he is a house producer and dj from wrexham, north wales. enigmatic though he is, luv*jam has revealed more than enough personality between wax grooves. his generous string of white-hot releases on such labels as we play house, phonica, skylax, lany recordings, and his own crow castle cuts do more than enough talking. that sterling track record continues with his throne of blood debut.

following a heavily supported launch in july, disco bloodbath recordings delivers its second single this august in hand plants >gone ghost<, backed with a remix from jamie blanco. comprising one half disco bloodbath (ben pistor) and one half maxxi soundsystem (sam watts), hand plant is about old and new synths, samples, berlin, aircraft, what happens in the early hours, ecstasy pads that make you rush ...

repress !! great original cuts - regis remix carries on where >in a syrian tongue< left off with increased club appeal... dominick fernow arrives on blackest ever black as vatican shadow. two tracks remastered from the the debut vs cassette on hospital productions, byzantine private cia, and a powerful regis remix of another early cut, >church of all images<. in the words of hospital: >militant religious industrial. music for assassins on the world-scale board game upon which it isnt clear who is winning or what side you are on.<

sometimes club music doesnt need to be too clever. sometimes all you need is an insistent groove and a hook. allow nuance, subtlety or layers upon layers of carefully sculpted found sounds, sometimes the drive to dance to a piece of music overtakes the rational over thinking and just inspires movement. that is precisely what this trio of original productions from 19 year old brummy, wattville aka matthew evans, does incredibly well to inaugurate sonic router records debut vinyl release.

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

the boys are back ... back with another banger too. definitely the best little label doing the rounds around these parts of late. viennas luv shack records continue with the good groove venturing once again into suspenseful house and disco.
this time the turn of lesale to pull out the big thick juicy drums and chunky basslines for which luv shack is making a very respectful name for itself. guaranteed heavyweight thump when you flop the needle to the left side every time with the luv shack.

after a busy 2011, nicholas slowed down the pace of production in 2012. here the italian producer returns with a new single for 4lux and what a banger it is! title track life goes on is a great club tune with uplifting bass, beats, rhodes and cut up vocal bits. ny stomp comes with a killer remix in the vein of the famous ny house trak: hard hitting old school beats and tough groove. on the flip two deeper but equally good nuggets in all i can give and messed up generation. some of nicholas best work to date!

what is techno is the first single to be taken from techlegend in the makin florian meindls long awaited debut album waves (1-12)inch, due for release soon on his very own flash recordings. what is it techno? what is house? good question and its the doubt that drives you on the dancefloor. florians original is perfectly crafted deep groovy tech. a delicate melody belies the raw power, generated here by the growling bass and drum line. ramping up the filth factor and still riding high from the release of their second city ep are boys noizes, shadow dancer. matching detroit synths with sinister bubbling acid the manchester duo create a beast of a mix that also displays an equal amount of beauty.

hot on the heels of midlands placement ep, aus returns with a remix 12inch featuring lone & motor city drum ensemble. both producers deliver deep, melodic reinterpretations of the originals, with lone accentuating midlands signature sound (whilst flawlessly incorporating his own neon tinged atmospherics) and mcde dubbing out the original, pushing it into throbbing raw cuts territory. both producers are at the top of their game. lone is dominating 2012 with a residency at manchester hot-spot hoya:hoya, a full length dropping in may via r&s that will surely occupy the top of many year end lists, and remixes for radiohead, tensnake & underworld already under his belt. jazz enthusiast motor city drum ensembles sample-based raw cuts series made him a household name within the deep house scene and last years dj-kicks mix set him apart from the pack with its on point mixing and musical diversity. his notable november 2011 boiler room set is considered one of the finest, and is just another example of why mcde has been, and will remain to be, a musical force to be reckoned with. next up on aus will be an ep from bicep & friends with a remix from panoramabar resident steffi.

plays and support from: mandy, matthew dear, tobi neumann, shaun reeves, luciano, lee burridge, thugfucker, bill patrick, lee curtiss, subb-an, butch, dubfire, manik, huxley, droog,..

welcome return for this very sought-after rare electro 12 inch from tiny harlem label express records. big with the cosmic crowd as well as on the early hiphop scene, this is an extremely cool low-slung synth-heavy electro groover with a hypnotically smooth lead vocal, given a sharp percussive edge by the rattling congas and ticky-time chorus. written at a time in rap music history when the introduction of synthesizer technology created a wild flurry of creativity, this futuristic track by barry michael cooper (who went on to write the screenplays for movies new jack city and above the rim) was teletrons only ever release. film s gain was sadly musics loss as this was, and still is, a boundary-pushing, floor-filling monster. dont sleep!

supplies for dub techno and ambient fans: following his debut album >1549<, binemusics lars leonhard releases >no comment<, a six-track 12 inch ep including bonus remixes by renowned label colleagues.

conjures klfs cult convictions, with the same stadium strength and flamboyant fire-technics. imagine shirtless strobe-bro brawn, almost religious in its glory-grandiosity, martin gore-geous as an opulent outing.
