im:ltd, the label with more treats in his pockets than your sugar daddy, is back once again to unleash the latest efforts from ukrainian producer hibea white owl.filled with with bass frequencies lower than a strippers self esteem, fierce percussions and jungle-like wild breaks and backed up with some heavy duty remix works from rising sex symbols phil tangent and fade, that 4 track collection is a definitive must have for any lewd dnb fan.when these drop, owls wont be the only birds whose heads are spinning!

next up on local talk we got a raw peak hour jam from liverpool producer dale howard (lost my dog, large, morris/audio, off rec). there is nothing light or fluffy about these tracks, its just dirty straight up house music with a dark 90s basement feel. for the main track we actually chose the dub version of throwback over of the original mix. we just thought this version was soooo freakin raw even though its more stripped than the original version. you’ll see what we mean when you drop it in the club! the second track in out goes along the same house theories as throwback with jackin beats and deep chords that will do wonders in any authentic house basement. all in all, a might fine release of classic local talk house music. enjoy!

the title track, blasta, is a sleek and modern tech house stormer. blasta contains well blended and diverse influences, such as african jazz, jamaican dub, and german and french house. it is this unique and normally disparate genres of music and production styles that makes blasta a unique gem. the b side, collapsed caldera, is a break beat oriented, organic house song. guitar, harp, and vocals gently guide over complex yet natural percussive rhythms.

scott mou, known as one half of the duo jane – the folk techno drone duo he had with panda bear - aswell as part of manhattans famous record store other music, debuts with his soloproject queens. johan jacobsen describes the wonderful music of queens in oxymorons, colorful monochrome, myopic depth, sad joy, driven slowness, enlightened darkness, universal intimacy, ethereal earthboundness ... as it should be. queens is one of those wonderful artists who are hard to catch on the fly, who escapes easy definition. his music is an unexpected and unimagined universe ready to be explored, and it s a universe that is wonderful to be in. when dial records david lieske and peter kersten listened to a performance of their new york based friend in 2009, it was one of those unforgettable unique experiences you only have once in a long while these days. the idea of releasing an album was born. the production of end times involved other labelmates such as phillip sollmann aka efdemin (recording), kassian troyer (mixing) and hendrik weber, who once joined a life performance on stage with scott mou in 2012.

when thomas lauren came to us with his new techno project qindek, we were instantly intrigued. qindek sees thomas moving away from his melodic background into uncharted abstract territories, without losing the warmth and depth

der an beiden us-kuesten beheimateten band!(gesprochen: chk chk chk) gelingt auf ihrem neuen album eine laessige graetsche: sie feuern nacheinander diverse singlekandidaten ab in richtung tanzfläche, kombinieren sie aber so perfekt zu einem schluessigen ganzen, dass ihr >thr!!!er< auch als album bestens funktioniert

the bomb that should have dropped way back when. after a career spanning almost two decades dj overdose debuts on creme with his first full length album, upon which we remark with carefully considered understatement: a veritable tour de resistance in film noir electronics, bizarro world is a dank and dark alley made flesh

jonas munks work as manual has never sought to radically reinvent itself. rather, he has spent the time since his debut ep in 2000 perfecting and refining the sound that is so distinctly his own - with each successive album meticulously exploring certain aspects of the manual sound. there is an ongoing insistence that there is originality and beauty in his finely crafted productions, even in times when they seem terribly out of tune with the current trends. in munks view originality isnt so much a constant renewal of oneself but rather the creation of a unique and confident style that is continuously relevant.

it came as a great surprise when nail accepted to press on vinyl the 2011 produced bpms vol.1 he had so far only released through his own website. nail has been one of our favorite producers for quite some time now and his relentless beats always part of our selections.

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!

in a world in which upstart diy talent is flooding the gates of electronic music, a few recent voices have been so strong as to be startling. lapalux – aka 25-year-old stuart howard – is certainly one such. as singular as a brilliant artist always should be, his instinctive understanding of the atmospheric power of texture grips the ear immediately on listening. nostalchic is his debut album, mission statement, and the climax of many years of studying his craft. the amalgam of words that make the title is aptly, and perhaps knowingly chosen. the album evokes nostalgia without ever sounding nostalgic, and howard may have had his tongue in his chic when he added the second half of the title. the album is his most focused document to date, adding his beloved r&b and soul into elements of house and hip hop, all with the trademark lapalux finish, infectious, lopsided swing and achingly deep texture.

switch away your mind into the dusty and happy twenties when pharmacies sold coke over desk and the ballrooms were filled with glamour!

when making a track, whatever his genre although in this case it would be electronic music, you can use reverbs, plugings, effects, loops, low bass or many simple and opportunist crookery or you can try a double somersault of talent, riskm and clubbing experimentation.

the clock struck 5 a.m. when last summer your puzzled author could experience a pretty strange dancefloor-jamais vu in the very sense of the word.

following on from the very succesful xoom001, the second release heads to deep house territory via artists lp, florian muller and jemaho. opening track my lady by lp hits hard with deep chords and an infectious bassline. we welcome back florian muller again for a2 with the beautiful and spacey solar.

with a techno career stretching nearly a decade, finlands samuli kemppi is a natural choice for the fourth edition of themas continuing chronicle series. his intensely rhythmic, futuristic style has been making its mark across europe since 2004, but it was really four years later, when he was picked up by ostgut ton, prologue, and kosmisch, that the world found out the true impact of his sound. since then he has enjoyed his strongest support from the last of these imprints and, even more importantly, from luke slaters powerhouse mote-evolver, a go-to since its inception in 2006 for the freshest sounds techno has to offer. following the summer launch of his own deep space helsinki label, we are proud to announce kemppis chronicle debut with voyager, an ep of deep, science fiction sounds backed by intense beats.

the black madonna returns to home taping with another classic release in the making! we still believe captures that early sound of chicago when you could still hear the euro and italo influences as they were re-interpreted through the beat boxes & synthesisers of the windy city, and made to jack. on the flip, home taping favourite the revenge delivers his own take on that classic sound with an understated and yet pumping rework. packed full of authentic beatbox sounds and warehouse style keys, it works it to the boom boom. last but not least, the black madonna finishes off the package with say my name - a dirty, menacing and incessant groove that makes out like a wild new street dance that just got turned loose. the black madonna is here to stay!

groovy bass lines, sassy drums and a classic and clubby wave conduction. there is a little something in every track to help you find the mood when you miss the groove

>a blink of an eye< is the long awaited successor with 10 tracks of future funk. ranging from the nastiness of >jump bugs< to the fragile beauty >ray & claire< its classic syclops all the way. produced by maurice fulton.

mihai popoviciu has established him self as a producer and dj of high repute in the past few years. his releases on labels such as highgrade, fear of flying and hudd traxx have raised the bar pretty high when it comes to his own distinctive take of the tech-house sound du jour, but its this latest outing on poker flat recordings where sparks really start to fly.

heavily infuenced by the early works of zoltar, adsum got into electronic music at an early age. then some years ago, when he had to move to earth, things got more serious. spending his time between loops he learned their language, being able to blend in like one of them. so here we go. this release represent just a friendly hallo to our listeners.

over the last few years douglas greed live with his band has twisted heads at festivals over a few beers.underway with a percussionist and singer he is constantly on the highways ravaging the gas stations of europe – especially for the last few months. what has developed on the stage as a stout twister session for adults is now presented as a music release.the title piece masked up and messed up puts up a fat middle finger to everyone who lets their vanity slip out at the masked ball. the track is a bass-bellied house rocker along with vocals that wink an eye with a snot-nosed chorus added.with 5000 ansi lumen the lights roll on and off with a flick. there isn t anything the neighbors can do by knocking on the door when the cross-trainers are carrying the load of the baseline! the rainfall in the very first beat provides space for a a dried-out drum. in this dusty atmosphere, it builds up ever and ever more and takes flight to the foremost place. a groovy stop and go – dissolved into a supplication for rain and salvation.

third part with excellent deep delicious detroit house

enigmatic artists from eastern europe had a ace in their sleeve when they came out with the project of suburbs. they come up with the most mystical sound for their first ep on archipel under “plaeisii.” the strange classical texture swirl with a very lush rhythm that at first, appear to be extremely predictable but then, as you listen carefully, you get caught up on the most capturing pattern. the main song as well as amorf both are music for the soul and will be played in very special moment that will have people close their eyes to enjoy the shifting mood.

2 fresh edits here from mh black. o f f m s g coming with the if carl craig did disco vibe while tee mango brings the slow-mo looseness of a raw cuts release. hand stickered, stamped and numbered with no repress so when theyre gone, theyre gone.a side: sounds distinctly like a stripped back and stretched out rework of roy ayres chicago.b side: works the instantly recognisable piano from rotary connections black gold of the sun.blk001 sold out within the week, i cant imagine these will hang about.

kolortown is probably the best deep dub act in the world right now, drawing heavy influence from oldschool reggaedub combined with contemporary musical expressions and technology. this ep is a masterpiece in dubtricks, layering & tapebouncing and contains plenty of variety in moods, everything from cluboriented 4/4 steppers to late night chill out when the lights are out. this release shows the true skills of producers xoki & hieronymus here brought to a wider audience, and is comparable to the likes of massive attack and portishead. dont miss out on this part 3-its quite extraordinary!

new artist on fachwerk records with some deep advanced techno cuts. comes including a solid mike dehnert remix who takes a more dubby berlin techno approach in a way only he can do!

after inigos well-received previous release >the shard<, he now steps up again with 2 epic pieces of electronic beauty.
i still find it hard to describe music after all these years, as i think the most important is what people feel when listening to it rather than pigeon holing the hell out of it. i simply love it, hope you do too. (kr!z)

activia benz are back in full swing for 2013 with their next release: recolor ep from 813. 813 is 25 year old russian badass, alexander goryachev. he is a firefighter, which is badass. his music is a dense collision of crazy rap beats, sort of, and some kind of fantastic rave thing, maybe. his music is very badass, much like the fact he is a firefighter. it is also very beautiful, like when he carries a small cat to safety from a burning russian building. recolor is a slice of really fantastic dancey bassy music for partying and hanging out to with your m8s.

streaking through the ether at twice the speed of sound, mr 8040 is on a date with destiny. he is heading for mikrosector-50, his home planet, but things are not going as smoothly as planned. en route he finds himself in sticky situations, cosmic encounters that trigger flashbacks to a different time and place. will he ever make it home? and who – or what – is he running from?
this, more or less, is the narrative thrust of jack hamills debut album as space dimension controller. welcome to mickrosektor-50 is a swashbuckling sci-fi odyssey that unfolds like some long-lost star wars episode scripted by philip k dick and scored by tangerine dream. the record is fantasy in its purest form: a futuristic boys own adventure concocted in a belfast bedroom, it is the sum of jacks musical influences distilled into 68 minutes of unalloyed electronic pleasure.

transparent vinyl. part 2 of 2.this latest ep on enemy maybe the most psychedelic and hypnotic release the label has released thus far. psychedelic hypnotism may sound like a bad acid rant from the >summer of love,< but this 2 part vinyl ep will prove you otherwise. the first vinyl focuses on the more abstract side of the dance floor, leading off with rrose and donato. perfect for the beginning of the evening or the early morning. the second vinyl is the more club-oriented accompaniment courtesy of jesper dahlback and grindvik & zahn.

the weird house music composers from brazil strike again with four slices of spaced-out dance floor sounds. psychedelic is just one of the adjectives that come to mind when hearing brazilian duo colors sound system. on their first single for lovemonk, sao paolo brothers jota wagner and wander a, who call themselves weird house music composers, continue on the path to a higher state of consciousness with four slices of mind-altering disco and house splashed with spacemen 3-like vocals and seventies prog guitars and organs. just listen to the almost eleven minutes of *ar* if you dont believe. or *1974*. or *poeira lunar*, for that matter. the beatless title track is the only one staying under the seven-minute limit, and it is also the last track on the ep, like a much-needed comedown. space is the place, as the great sun ra said.

a surprising house release, muredo, an ep with a generous acoustics in which the rythm is frontal but the story is told just behind. the raf are two habitual offenders of the well done track. when the muredo track slowly wakes you up and meticulously tries hard to describe the morning gestures, murefa carry on with a breathless ride. the second inspiration is only taken when everything had come to an end, in a calmness orchestrated by val at the helm of an abstract groovy remix. this ep is the first signature on the recent french label seconde and a lot of things are supposed to come soon.

john talabots debüt-album wird international als album des jahres gefeiert, was elektronische musik angeht. zu den fans des spaniers gehören auch the xx, die ihn für das vorprogramm ihrer aktuellen tournee ausgewählt haben. nun endlich erscheint die erste von zwei eps mit brandneuen remixen von tracks aus dem anfang des jahres erschienenen album fin. fin remixes part 1 erscheint als doppelpack, bestehend aus einer 12inch und einer 10inch. die 12inch enthaelt drei superbe remixe des tracks when the past was present von den pachanga boys (superpitcher und rebolledo), die dieses jahr mit time einen gewaltigen clubhit landen konnten. auf der 10inch finden sich destiny im bullion-remix und last land in einer version des daenen kenton slash demon (tartelet)

falling up in its original theo parrish version and the carl craig version on the same disc. nothing more to say. except that the carl craig version finally gets its proper title (also newly remastered versions of both classics, by stefan betke). it was never a remix as all the parts are original, created by carl craig. as scott grooves said when he first heard norm talley playing it, that aint a remix, thats a full-blown carl craig track

when wncl012 hero, kevin mcphee, dropped the unreleased bobby champs dubplate of *krenshaw* in his boiler room set last year, the cassette library instantly knew that they had found their lucky star for wncl013. with his trademark boxy drum sound littering the contents of this ep, the man who likes *…making songs that make you want to dance* has done it again.

tadd mullinix aka james t. cotton aka j.t.c. is one of our true heroes. when we had our hands on the first records of his on spectral we immediately fell in love with his daring approach to club music. raw sketches of great ideas – not clean, not cool, but human and deficient, singular and alive. so, signing this artist for our label is a great honour to us, and we are proud to present sonic criminal to you, an ep crossing over classic detroit techno, deep house, jazz and electro. amazing!

*sundog* by french producer johannes regnier was a massive but bloody underrated track this summer - when i heard it recently at the innervisions-party on the berghain-floor i felt confirmed about this dudes big potential. meanwhile he moved from paris to berlin and his first studio in town was located in a street called wiesenweg. there johannes met alexander antonakis, an excellent and well known dj from frankfurt for some sessions - the result you can hear on this *wiesenweg ep*.

last year kyodai dropped breaking, which to date is the biggest selling release on local talk. now the brothers are back with in our opinion a future house anthem. the scene is a classic piano house cut that’s impossible to resist and together with one the coolest vocal samples we’ve ever heard we think this has the potential to go really big. when the breakdown drops we’re pretty sure everybody in the club will chant. but as if this was not enough we also got another big tune on the b-side. moving is the continuation of “breaking” and goes along the same lines with its crossover jazz styled house. once again kyodai delivers a supa solid house production with large jazz breakdowns and old school vocals that’s right up their with ”breaking”. this is also why we called it…breaking pt.2. kyodai is currently working on their debut album for local talk which is due later this year. they’re also travelling around the world with their amazing live dj set that we highly recommend. trust us when we say that these two brothers really now how to turn up the heat in a club…serious biz!
