what does a rave sound like the next day? the strobe lights in a dark warehouse, the pounding kick, the blur of ecstatic faces lead to a morning-after emptiness, all fade into memories of the friends you once had. on ode, tin man (proper name johannes auvinen) explores this feeling, offering tracks which possess an exhausted joy, the aural equivalent of the stretch of time beginning when the last record is played and stretching on towards the doleful contemplation of last night’s unmade sheets. appropriately, tin man’s melancholic dance music is more club-ready than ever.
the double 12 inch lp comes in gatefold sleeve with download code included.

ibiza dc10, circoloco resident dj w!ld returns with this hypnotizing 3 tracker when you feel me - a meandering, spellbinding example of beat driven songwriting, peaking and flowing through its 12-minute journey.

here s something to stir the loins of any discerning disco dj: a studio hook-up between veteran producer felix dickinson (fresh from his much-loved outing on futureboogie recordings), horse meat disco and one-time dfa man (and renowned multi-instrumentalist) marcus marr. there s an additional contributor, too: a mystery (presumably big-name) vocalist whose talk-box heavy delivery sits somewhere between prince, george clinton and pharrell. the track itself is something of a summer anthem in the making - an immaculately produced p-funk jam with the additional benefit of a shuffling, house-friendly groove. no details on how many copies have been pressed, either way, you d be well advised to snap up a copy while you still can.

though the iconic imagery of disco feels distinctly tied to the united states, the style had a wide-reaching influence that made it’s way to africa. while africa was already no stranger to the pulsing rhythms of funk, afro-beat, and highlife, the rise of disco added a slick sheen to the music, with musicians from all over the continent incorporating elements of the genre into their sounds. would there ever have been a studio 54 in ghana in late 70s, these would have been the recordings that would have packed the dance floor with their deep root in disco, soul & funk! an album recorded in the late 70s packed full of legendary musicians such as harry mosco and many more… to be re-discovered 35 years after it’s initial vinyl release as a private press. a “disco documentary full of funk” proves that it stands the test of time by sounding as fresh and original as any other sought-after disco / soul funk lp from the west coast of africa in the late 70s. bbe went on another crate-digging journey and found the original producer reindorf nana oppong and the original master tapes were dusted off, transferred to digital. in the process of this, even un-released material was discovered on the tapes, which makes this a rather special package. “nana love - disco documentary full of funk” is one special journey through afro disco & boogie in the late 70s, and we at bbe can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed!!!

finally the time has come! after a long 6-year wait the third edition of the popular computer incarnations for world peace series is due to release very soon. the idle time will be rewarded with a bunch of stunners: tracks by georges rodi & dave sarkys, brenda & the beach balls and anna domino will be featured on the compilation selected by sonar kollektiv-a&r-manager alex barck. of which more later, when the release is ready. to start with, an outright highlight of this set is gonna come out as a pre-release 12inch including two contemporary reinterpretations.

groove line records completes the summer schedule with the third 12” in our series of properly licensed rare disco / funk reissues. next up is another title from the collector’s holy grail, the brothers’ promo 12” for the 1976 album don t stop now. this features one of the most sought after instrumental tracks of the 1970 s, under the skin. a luscious disco orchestration with full horn and string sections playing alongside an infectious conga groove played and arranged by warren schatz and his band, the brothers. the second side has long versions of two tracks from the album, brothers theme and make love. both tracks have the same hallmark of luxurious string and brass sections as under the skin with the brothers providing the driving grooves and bhen lanzaroni coming to the fore with his keyboard skills. all groove line records releases are fully licensed and taken from the original master tapes, remastered by nick robbins at sound mastering, and cut by matt colton at alchemy (mastering engineer of the year 2013). all vinyl is heavy weight 180g manufactured optimal media in germany, one of the world’s finest pressing plants. groove line records cut no corners when making sure that each and every one of our releases has the highest quality performance possible. the next three 12s are due in the autumn. groove line records’ deluxe reissue of under the skin is an essential purchase for any serious disco, jazz or funk vinyl collector who demands the very best in quality vinyl pressings

new release by craig smith for teng records, including remixes by phlash and fabio della torre.

anchored between the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, when industrial music courted funk, when electro(nica) made a shy appearance and house was visceral and plaintive, also inspired by current r&b productions and futuristic hip-hop, tropics of love is a slow tempo record that shines like a steel sun and rings diabolically romantic.
the double 12 inch lp comes in gatefold sleeve with cd-copy of the full album included.

limited picture cover! the belgian stereo express joins forces with aka aka & thalstroem as well as vocalist timmy shimmy to increase the anticipation of the long-player with the first single >when im with you<.

you have to repeat the truth always, even because of the error around, it is preached, not by individuals but by the masses. so the madness is invisible when it adopted sufficiently large proportions. in this case we are connected: i am you and you are me! would i lie to you? who does not know the truth is a fool. but who knows it and calls it a lie, is a criminal. but one day you will have to admit officially that what we baptized truth, have an even greater illusion than the world of dreams. do you want to be a part of the silly people. available as limited edition red vinyl.

full 80s disco slammer

gacha is a young artist originally from georgia, now operating in berlin, this second ep for apollo records is an excellent six tracker that fits the apollo chillout manifesto perfectly. his music is a cinematic, glacial mix of beautiful melodies, treated guitars and tender drum programming, and two tracks on this release see him working in tandem with natalie beridze who adds her ethereal vocals for standout tracks *saysea* and *atlas*. elsewhere on the ep gacha continues the form of his last ep, working his influences from classic electronica to garage into his trademark deep and atmospheric sound.

the artist concurrently known as jackmate has been already been indoctrinated into our cult since he signed onto he pampa bookings roster awhile back. as soulphiction he is also co-founder of philpot, the stuttgart-based label, home to the majority of his releases over the past 10+ years.

after recently launching the d3 recordings label to a great reception, the man behind vibes and pepper is ready to launch his second new label, d3 elements. the artist behind the three track ep is raymond funnye aka strong souls, who back in the mid-nineties released on still much mythologised chicago label dance mania as well as the uks black market, which also saw him work with the legendary larry heard. the music he offers here is of a high pedigree from start to finish.

welcome to the world of magic eye, an illusory duo from leeds experimenting with light and sound. the mystical pairs debut release, inside my love, comes on the legendary house label strictly rhythm. kicking off with plummeting and rubbery kick drums it sucks you down into a warm and inviting place somewhere on the edge of the cosmos. when the dulcet chords of a certain minnie riperton song drop in its pure bliss. wooden percussion clacks away and then the whole thing drops into a serene breakdown complete with heavenly vocals. its a sympathetic re-imagining of a classic track that works to perfection. remix wise the label features interpretations from purp & soul artists harry wolfman & mark wells, plus mike mago.

one of the first people elie asked for music from when he founded jackoff records was massimiliano pagliara. its hard not to be a fan. now three years later finally it happens with massis project with production partner rotciv under the name the rimshooters.

when walter merziger and arno kammermeier head to the studio to work on new material for their long time project booka shade, the result is a winning combination of underground sensation and club hit, as titles such as mandarine girl and body language have proved to great acclaim. its a balancing act that only the most successful electronic musicians can do so successfully over such a period of time. booka shades new single >love inc< is no exception. presaging the fifth studio album release from these berlin transplants,>love inc< is infused with pure club sound created by merging a refined sense of sonance with solid craftsmanship. the duo pays a contemporary homage to chicagos former king of house, lil louis, whose 1992 hit club lonely serves as the tracks sample

eno louis gained a solid background in traditional edo music as a student at edo college in benin city, south-east nigeria. he lived at felas kalakuta republic till the army raid in 1978, when he moved to the us for a couple of years. on his return, he recorded with edo funk powerhouse the talents of benin, and quickly became a mainstay of the flourishing disco and boogie scene, in-demand as guitarist and drummer, with credits including releases by pogo ltd, amas grill, chris okotie, oby onyioha, chris mba, dizzy k falola, harry mosco, pat finn and the super elcados... to name just a few. the two tracks here are from louis debut lp, living in the usa.

the mysterious wpbh label strikes again with two killer tracks from the vaults of one certain harry baldi. all that is known about this harry baldi character is that he once squeezed 100 tracks into a 9 seconds mix on his soundcloud and that he has never played at panorama bar or any other club for that matter.
so this one is truly a matter of the music doing the talking, and with the reggaefied dubness of cant kick this feeling when it dubs and the vintage theo parrish-styled tonight tomorrow the music will well and truly talk to a lot of music lovers.

when gilles peterson reacts to a house record, you know it is a very special house record. deep and soulfull, love it - was what the 6 music dj thought of these two. if that wasnt enough, trickski described best things in life are free as one hell of a bomb. add in support from jimmy edgar, mark e, severino and dusky and this is looking like one of glasgow undergrounds most successful records to date. love games is the a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing. what starts off as hooky percussive groove slowly morphs into a full vocal classic with swirling chords and a killer synth hook. severino dropped it at fabric recently and took the roof off the place. best things in life are free is a darker affair – all wandering acid lines and moody, emotional strings - but as trickski proved when they played it at watergate, just as effective.

the guys from audision are back with their next release in coloured vinyl! they produced chimes 1 for their live-set and it was much appreciated by the crowd. their new syntie roland jd 800 sounded crystal clear in their studio, but when they practiced for their live set in frankurt last year, all of a sudden it played a different sound … this was a magic moment which had to be recorded at once. the typcial audision device is: let the machines do the talking. and that is the also the story of chimes 2 *away* was the beatless track from their last years release up & away. so no one else but gez varley aka g-man created a dancefloor monster out of it. where can we start, when we talk about such a genius like gez varley. he was co-founder of the legendary lfo (warp records) duo. he wrote music history with his partner mark bell. under his solo project g-man, he released on labels like wir, i220, force inc or swim. *quo vadis* is still one of the most important all-time favourite techno tracks. last but not least a typical rough and deep house mix came out of christopher raus machines. the smallville member released on labels like, pampa, derive, aim, mule… and delivered a great track for this wonderful release. all in all - a must have!

third part with excellent deep delicious detroit house

limited edition double vinyl set in gatefold sleeve, full length dj friendly mixes & re-edits, compiled by al kent.
im always pleasantly surprised by some of the feedback i get when i put out one of these albums. i mean, liking good music isnt exactly rocket science is it?

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.

para one returns will the next single from his brilliant album >passion<, following on from previous single ep >lean on me<. >when the night< is a slice of futuristic, soulful disco.

wars/when i feel is juk juks third 12 release for nommos lead tune wars is pure winter melancholy driven by dark rhythms and brooding basslines, occasionally broken down with celestial synths. slick, enigmatic and moody, a hard one to pin down but easy to get lost in. in contrast when i feel is an irresistible piece of minimal garage house. big kicks and crisp highs are punctuated with reversed strings. all this is scattered with juk juks signature vocal manipulations.

nicole willis & the soul investigators are back with a brand new single on 7 inch vinyl.
>tell me when (we can start our love thing once again)< b/w >it s all because of you< is the simmering first double-side single from their upcoming lp >tortured soul<, set for release on helsinki-based timmion records, in early 2013. on their sophomore effort nicole and the soul investigators signature soul sound is clearly audible, but it also unearths rhythm & blues tainted licks and the pleas of unrequited love.

plymouths 14th best dj aldo vanucci drops his latest in the form of this killer ep. >you re all show< features the sublime vocals of kylie auldist - best known as the lead singer of the bamboos but also a massive star in her own right. in this track she lyrically tears down some unfortunate individual who has been showing out a little too much. >take me to a party< features rappers asm batting off the unwanted attentions of the post gig sparkle ponies and with aldos backing creates a classic hip hop party vibe. >what happened?< re-works a classic vocal to devastating effect and >alone< re-creates the off kilter breakbeat vibe of aldos biggest track to date >when i see you smile<.

being the hopeless romantics we are here at circus company, when we fall for an artist we tend to do it head over heels. you may have witnessed this in the past with some of our dearest protégés, from dave aju to nicolas jaar. now we are embarking on the same kind of whirlwind affair with franck roger, the glow only just retreating from our cheeks after he won our hearts with the i take you up ep. like a well-seasoned casanova, franck has found the perfect way to follow up that first date with an even deeper reflection of himself as an artist, leaving us flustered and quite simply stunned by his charm.

for this 22nd release on lomechanik we present the ep when her language goes on holiday by urkelle, which will be available on vinyl and digitally. intelligent, deep bass music that fits just as well on the dancefloor as on your headphone. urkelle is one of the aliases of steve mensink, a dutch producer which is based in the city of utrecht.

smith & mudd are back in fine style on claremont 56, following up their excellent lp with this great double header! >sauna love< is the lead track, an uptempo, string laden boogie house affair with great vibes, bass, strings and punchy percussion all rolling along into the sunshine. on side-b >the surveyor< is a great piece of otherworldly electronic music, coming on like some weird cough medicine induced dream. the bass pulses along with mystery dialogue, light key flourishes and an intent that is delivered about 5 minutes in when the kick drops and the whole thing shifts into a latenight, alt disco bomb.

nice price deal !!!

the prism is an aluminum cube, small enough to fit in your palm. it was designed by nicolas jaar as a new medium for releasing music. the first release - csa001 - features twelve (mostly) unreleased songs from jaar and other clown & sunset collaborators. the prism is a piece of art in and of itself, its contents beg to be shared. twin headphone outlets encourage connections to the object and between the two listeners. the prism tries to restore physicality to the listening experience. the medium and the method are as important as the music itself. the prism makes you consider how the music is being heard, the way the object feels in your hands, and its potential to foster intimacy between listeners. when the prism is unplugged, a beam of light passes through the empty center, revealing a void. someone is missing.
