swinging from the chandelier and setting fire to the feast, our original raison detre is back to raise merry hell and we couldnt be happier as accessories to the crime. ark was one of the biggest influences on circus company when it first formed from the freakier corners of the paris scene, and since day one he has been a guiding force in maintaining an uncompromising attitude towards house and techno in all its most flamboyant forms

cocoon recordings welcomes pele & shawnecy for his cocoon 12 inch debut. without any doubt the rosenheim resident is one of the fastest rising names in germany. the bavarian tech-house-hero has built up an impressive reputation over the last two years. his driving and testosterone loaded productions and remixes can be found in many top notch dj-sets and charts. pele is a master of kicking tech-house and his style of incorporating chords and vocals create real peaktime highlights. there is no escape when the sound of pele kicks in on your pa system!

rhythm plates re-emergence through their pressed for time label continues apace on this second release, a split 12 inch that pairs a new cut from matlocks finest with solo productions from ant plate as yse and yse saint laurent. hissy warehouse beats, simple chord vamps and rapturous oh-vocals characterise yses dryish yet muscular 99% invisible, whilst plates yse saint laurent contribution when you love me pairs some r&b vocal sampling with drawn out synths and wispy percussion placed on top of a grooving bassline similar to bernard badies 09 mojuba hit move to the beat. rhythm plates submission, i think i ve dreamed this before adds a warming calmness to the ep, allowing a spirited synth line to traverse its arrangement like a geisha float-walking through an japanese garden of snowy arpeggios and moss covered basslines.

hank jackson is from southern california, but he calls brooklyn home. a couple months ago, when we were stamping alex burkats record in the mister office, we put these songs on. after we picked our eyeballs off the floor, we realized we were listening to more than just face-burning techno. theres something about hanks music that seems to embody the conflict between youth and age, what its like to live in a society where the law can simultaneously & arbitrarily protect you or harm you. but maybe we just think too much. no matter what, we are happy to introduce hank, and we are happy to present you with the deposit ep. we hope you enjoy

*airglow fires* is the first new lone material to emerge since his masterful *galaxy garden* album, his most complete body of work to date. departing from the themes of the rave/hardcore revival and cinematic interstellar travel, *airglow fires* sees him exploring a more considered and intimate sound alongside a rediscovered love of classic hip-hop, as he explains: i love hip hop and house music when it is at it is rawest - to me airglow fires has that kind of 90s basement vibe to it, where the lines between the two genres are kind blurred.

hailing from chicago, the latest entry from our new skudge white series sees innerspace halflife venture into some of house and technos eeriest realms. when ike release and hakim murphy joined forces sometime last year, we immediately thought that their very own cosmic take on jackin house would be a perfect fit for our label, and boy did they deliver!

similarly, this compilation is all about that - bringing interesting elements together. i have invited producers that envoke that magic within me. they have all touched my soul. great music is just like happiness, its only real when shared.

the music of tokyo-based englishman max essa is like a fine wine, it can be only stored in the finest oak barrels, it can only be aged correctly and it can only be drunk when completely ready. maxs approach is far from conventional, emotional content plays a major part in his works and now we find him on his third bearfunk long player won ton sunrise.

a huge departure from his known works, marcos cabral appears on l.i.e.s. with his most dynamic and experimental work to date, the false memories 2xlp. compiled from various cassette tape recordings spanning the years of 1998-2000, here we have the early experiments from an accomplished producer, which showcase the unharnessed energy of youth when it crashes head on with the technology of the day. the songs created by cabral reflect his attempts of the music of the time falling somewhere in between techno, dub techno, idm, and even noise. an engaging and timeless listen the whole way through.

i am sure joe goddard needs no introduction, the co-founder of greco-roman and leading member of hot chip + one half of 2 bears releases this stunning 4 track ep. the title taking over is, as joe says: a reference to that moment when the music at a club starts to really hit you, when it forces you to focus on it and the night ahead. featuring collaborations with boris dlugosch and mara carlyle, taking over is an attempt to make synthesizers sound nice. the lead single from the ep is the step together which was premiered on the b traits (in for annie mac) on bbc r1 last friday. since that announcement step together has received more plays across the bbc networks. we have big plans radio wise for this track and we expect to see a lot more plays forthcoming across, bbc r1, 6 music, 1xtra, xfm and kiss fm.

ida engberg describes collage like so: not many things in life beat the true experience of the perfect party. that definitive moment when location, music and people all come together in the same place to create that perfect shared experience. it is about that vibe that can only exist when all those components work together in perfect harmony.

discovery recordings is proud to release coule ba by analog players society, a collective melting pot of musicians lead by amon. couleba draws from west african influences and features the incredible missia saran diabate of guinea on lead vocals. we came across couleba while finishing the catalano ep at the hook studio last summer. amon was doing his final mix-down of the track and we fell in love with the song immediately. shortly after we lined up the release, the studio and surrounding areas endured hurricane sandy. with the red hook initiative, amon and his family began helping out wherever they could. when power finally returned and the debris was cleared, it seemed only appropriate that the record should benefit the organization that did so much for red hook during that time.

for our 9th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by one of the best deep house producers in france right now: concept e25. they are a french producers duo (frederic boeuf & lionel cadix). their passion for electronic music was ignited in the early 90s when they discovered labels such as f communications and fnac. the pair both had strong musical backgrounds but only joined forces in 2009. since then they have continually been developing their sound and exploring new and diverse ways of making music together - with a burning proclivity for making good ol fashioned grooves - but not without a chic, modern twist - as noticed by pulse radio.net. coming after back to the source ep on seven music, garage sessions l is their 7th ep and is released by wax classics - a sub-label of the famous skylax records. garage sessions i continues their journey into the 90s underground house world, with 4 tracks featuring funky basslines, classic.

sneakers first solo ep for uncanny valley is a record of high humidity. the java / sumatra ep evolved in large parts in indonesia when sneaker lived there for almost a year and it literally conveys the indonesian heat to dance floors in the rest of the world. compared to his acid house-inspired you think you think which was featured on the uncanny valley 004 compilation, this four new tracks show another, rather ark, pop and new wave side of sneaker

when i opened my eyes it seemed that something has changed, the same people, the same place, the same climate, but a different situation to which i adapted by inertia, lay before us a new dimension. thick, intimate, felt. music as nexus.

george k, dj and producer, born in 1981, based in milan. his first steps in music date back a long time, when he began taking an interest in mixing and scratching techniques. his roots are hip hop and reggae, but in a short time thanks to breakbeat (rockit - herbie hancock) he abandoned that sound for experimentations in electronic music: techno was love at first listen, detroit and acid above all. with the passing of time he has begun to dedicate himself as much as possible to productions using synth and drum machine. now he has begun his new venture as owner/manager of his label fu.me where he will focus his work on promoting new and old sounds - without forgetting his roots - offering bad and dirty sounds .

kenneth anger may not necessarily be the name that will come to mind when listening for the first time - distracted, confused, disoriented - to puce moments debut album. yet it is the only one that will seem relevant upon second listen -narcotic, infernal, fascinating. puce moment does not only borrow a title (of his eighth short film, made in 1949) from the baron noir of experi?mental cinema . ghostly wanderings, satanic masses, mystical romances, mechanical hell: eve?rything in the duo from lille (france) and their album in form of an invocation to ancient sybarites authorities refers to the californian filmmakers obsessions.

thinking outside the box is something we appreciate a lot here at the office, especially when its done in such an outstanding manner as on this record.

prime numbers return with m7. the first side is taken by a remix of wireman’s >armour<, the original of which was included on pn04 released at the end of last year. the remix is from move d (deep space network, source records), he ups the tempo and in trademark fashion softens the surfaces of the original, warming the core of the track whilst creating a bass heavy groove with twisting beats, synths and a husky hypnotic vocal sample. the flip includes two tracks. to start we have >crushed< by actress. darren j. cunningham aka actress runs the much lauded werk records and this track is taken from his limited cd only album >hazyville< (released on werk in the autumn of last year ) >crushed< is slo-mo, extra bass heavy, low slung house with an addictive lofi synth riff and submerged strings. the track bumps along with hiss and crackle to good affect before turning into a badalamenti-esque loop to finish. to round things off be, the up & coming manchester based producer provides >when you left<. be cut his teeth with the chicago based still music and a great al hudson reedit which found extensive dj support on its release. >when you left< is a shuffling downbeat house groove with a jazz sentiment featuring deep rhodes keys and clipped drums, the track breaks up into a bluesy accapella section then builds up to a more direct 4/4 groove to the end

just when you thought this could not get any better… after the sold out and critically acclaimed meta-kraut-bombs dropped by icasol the nouveau art indie trip gets even deeper

what do you do when a live project exceeds its own ambitions? just keep doing the wonderful concerts and eventually head to the studio. sounds simple and conclusive. in the case of karocel, that was exactly how they went about it and surprisingly, all six band members made it happen. though the four marbert rocels, mathias kaden and michael-mitchi-nagler have known each other from their hometown along the gera-jena-erfurt corridor, and the karocel live shows have been well received: an album is an entirely different beast.

once again, raphaël laredo slipped through the authorities fingers: he does not care about the rules anymore, he infringes the standards and delivers us an ep beyond the correct and required limits! the only indication, its address: the club -akasha-.
rafaël murillo is already there, armed with a bomb. despite everything, laredo is a believer, he knows all the good and the bad theories. he insists on involving us, from the top, on the traces of the plot -crop circles- supported by the strong foundations of his brother, gaffy. the tech house spirit of laredo glides between paris and barcelona. eloïse oddos totally seized it when she designed the amazing record sleeve of crop circles for seconde.

nick lapiens debut release as metropolis garnered little attention when it materialized last year. a skeptical yet dedicated network of underground heads built up a subterranean buzz that has yet to spread into the daylight. that initial transmission was thick with the raw analogue flavors that have become ever-present in dance floor fare recently—but his is a sound that is dedicated to the emotive, narrative aspects of electronic music rather than simple fetishization or passing curiosity in the days of yore. this, his second release as metropolis, shows a more focused and patient hand at work. the titular track on the a side is a deep, psychedelic groover. melodies, textures and sequences undulate and intertwine within a lightless atmosphere guided by lapien with optimum restraint. equally pensive and gorgeous, the flood serves as a machine’s beat-less foil on the reverse. made up of little more than feedback and two slow, echo laden arpeggiated sequences, this is reminiscent of jean michel jarre’s more sinister moments: a brilliant paradox of economy and indulgence. expect to hear more from lapien here at sequencias. he has many more dark corners left unexplored.

hot on the heels of his sweet & spicy ep on the w label, dj w!ld now unleashes rainbow in my pocket ep. the four tracks see w!ld at his most underground and dirty, it is 3am music for when the freaks come out. another must have ep from a man at the very top of his game!

h a ll o h a l os first release and it is 001 for revno records also ... off to good start we think! h a ll o h a l o is a stockholm based anglo swedish unit formed when jon dasilva (hacienda/rush hour/ellum/soma) met inventor and multi instrumentalist jonas nilsson in the first week in his new home, stockholm. apparently nilsson and dasilva became best friends sharing their more nuttier studio obsessions… here h a ll o h a l o serve up some killer italo - flavoured disco and deep house with the doubleheader tuff beat / yessir. this is electronic music of the highest order…muscular and inventive and, dare i say, very future…in a blade runner kind of way! which brings us neatly to the name, which, according to the pair, is a pretend title for a philip k dick novel. there is no pretending with the music though ... ace deep house - incoming!

divine: the immobile odyssey. for a long time before the success of noze led him to discover the rest of the world, ezechiel pailhes remained a prophet in: his country. for a long time as well, he worked on creating what became his first solo album, waiting for the right moment when he could no longer contain all the melodies that populate this 14-leg epic.

after first meeting stef smith aka lakosa at a birmingham warehouse rave back in 2010, the 2nd drop camp have been keeping an eye on this burgeoning talent, especially as he has popped music out on kerri chandlers madtech imprint among others. co-producer rick grant is 1/3 of take records and with releases on george fitzgeralds manmakemusic label, another key talent making moves this year. and despite having never met each other (they communicate via email and bass frequencies), it seems that when they collaborate the magic happens.

ms. smooth socal soul meets mr. nocal dirtybird swagger and they have a baby together. that baby is justin jay and at 19 years old he is already making his 3rd appearance on dirtybird. i have a feeling this is justin jays breakout record. the a-side static is at 119 bpm and will sweep you up then rip your pants off. but even when you get hit with the massive bassline, an old school anchor stays intact. waves b-side has a classic deep dirtybird feeling, with tuned 808s and a surprising melodic element showing off the sweeter side of this up and coming young gun. justin jay has more potential than anyone i have heard in a while and if he continues to play like he has been lately, he has a long dj career ahead of him as well.

when it comes to fusing the classic sounds of 90s us house and uk garage, dale howard is our man! like on his previous bounce back ep, his new phase 4 ep is a great example of house and garage, with raw subby bass lines, kicking drums combined with smooth hypnotic chords and a well balanced deepness. ready for phase 4?
dale has been delivering the goods for quite some time now and it becoming a regular guest on top labels like local talk and noir.

this is a heavyweight, double-gatefold version of the debut album from disclosure.

ok, first of all i want to reveal a myth: these infotexts are mostly writtenby the labelowners themselves, not by hard-working editors. so what happens, when the guy behind a label releases his own music? well, either he is a well-organised deadline-machine and he asks somebody capable of doing this stupid job, or he realizes:
>oh fuck the distribution whats to do their work and they needed thissheet weeks ago...< so in the end, hes gotta do it himself: of course,now i could tell you how great this record is (what it is!) and what ahell of a motherfucker i am (also true!)... but i prefer telling yousentimental other bullshit instead... :)
this ep marks a newbeginning in my career. since some time now, >the fog burns off< and we get more and more stable in the buisness. last year we were on the road quite a bit and we found many new friends. people from other cities, who believe in the same things, who do similar stuff and who are of the same kidney as we are. so that makes me very happy, which reflects in the music. for the first time i feel like coming home, although we are at the beginning of our journey into the industry yet.

you know you are ready for something special when lord umek comes up with a one-tracker, and even the title on this one lets you know you are in for a manic ride. sly bass sets the tone, under the tightly-wound rhythm section and flashy stabs make way for a cheeky vocal that takes the lead role. the busy drum edits keep the adrenaline levels high at all times and yet another page is written in production history, with umeks trademarked sound.

lokee musiks sophomore release features newcomer afriqua. a 21 year old from virginia, usa and currently based in berlin. this fledgling producer and student of the royal academy of music sparked interest with lokee when they met at one of their famous after hours in london. the title track here is melt & features broken groove with afriquas minimal perspective. electric pulse stabs are at the heart of this rhythm and drive it with a much appreciated space. vocals from sorcha richardson adds an eerie anthemic touch reminiscent of somewhere between the cocteau twins & fever ray

we are very happy to welcome our old friend pablo valentino for the second release of 2013. it is no coincidence if pablo & dairmount hooked up nearly 10 years ago when pablo started his imprint faces, dedicated to leftfield black music influenced soundscapes rooted in hip hop culture. both sharing a strong sense of underground activism, a deep love of the black music tree and a lovely obsession for futuristic sounds, it is no surprise that these two naturally decided to join effort under the room with a view umbrella.
next up, pablos monster original received the magic treatment of amsterdams finest dam swindle. one of the hottest dj & production units of the global house scene confirms here why labels like freerange, saints & sonnets or dirt crew went bananas to sign their early work. the dutch duo has made a spectacular & fast rise and is already in high demand all over the planet. their inimitable blend of melodical grooves, jazzy chords and bumpy bass-lines seemed to be tailor made to translate a new school approach to pablos rooted original tune.
