what happens when you bring together two percussionists who are well-established in the electronic music scene and commission them to produce four tracks exclusively with percussion instruments-with the only requirement being not to deliver any overtly thought-out nerd music? the answer has been provided by sven kacirek and thomas klein on this release.

* the time has come for scar to broaden its horizons. as a production duo survival & script initially made a name for themselves by supplying rugged dancefloor workouts but there is a much larger story to tell here and with the orkyd project album this story will be told. * production collaborations have been kept to an absolute minimum aside from vocal features, naomi pryor is the ever present voice of the album with further contributions from eleanor higgins and ray uptown. * the influences for the orkyd project shine a further light on the story, from bill withers to massive attack via eric b and rakim. * when initial conversations took place between goldie and scar regarding the album goldie gave the guys full license to create whatever they wanted and what we have been given is a melting pot of 2016 london music. soul exists beside screw face. * it s important to note that drum n bass hasn t been abandoned by any means, the hall marks of scar are ever present and correct- the blue print has just been expanded upon

electronic music has always had a special affiliation with space, and the sounds of the cosmos. an inherent love of all things sci-fi, galactic and otherworldy has always been a common thread, especially with techno producers, and so its always a pleasure to come into greater contact with the science of these sounds when creating new music. project alma is a new collaboration between lucianos cadenza records label and the alma sounds initiative that bridges two sets of individual passions, that of lucianos love for music, and alma astronomer antonio hales love of the universe.

the second release presents a new front left artist – daito (lenny jäzosch). daito is the japanese term for different kinds of swords, used by samurais. this describes his sharp and detailed sound without the lack of emotions & soul. being a regular raver, his productions are dance floor motivated, containing special moments that can be felt when you are dancing to it. his influence comes from an earlier style of techno with a raw and inspiring sound. on the b-side, you will find elad magdasi – a regular front left raver who debuted on the first release(finger trip ep). his style is classic, diverse and 90s influenced. elad is returning with two different types of techno creations.

that night, we answered a regular call, something about crazy loud noises coming out from a basement. while driving to the area all i could think when i first heard the bass stomping was: “man, whatever, this doesn t even sound like music to me.” and we were at least a 100 meter away from the source of the sound. when we got there, after knocking several times on the door, we decided we had more than enough probable causes to bust in. after a warning, we kicked the door open. what we saw inside was a five feet tall woman jumping around in that cacophony. we screamed and she ignored us, my colleague then panicked and shot her with his taser several times – she then simply pulled the probes out of her body shouting moments moments – and continued to jump around..

marvis dee returns to in my dreams for the second part of his ep series with the sparking, 80’s boogie-house 5-tracker, dreams of a future metropolis. huge shimmering synths, funk-heavy basslines and serious grooves all sailing out with the setting sun.

lux rec shifts again its attention to greece. prosopo is junes newest alias, and means face disturbed microcosm where to experiment with different machines, unconventional textures and rhythms. the result is as uncomfortable as it gets, arid desires, despair concealed with cold resonating motives. we do not celebrate joy.a fast descent into a deserted heart. a feverish feeling, much like when it is warm and one still shivers. annoyed greek gods playing tricks on human

everything i know and i will never know about you is a journey through electronica, deep-house and pop, driven by the endless and timeless sources of inspiration that are love and life. prior releases on powerhouses diynamic, get physical and third ear have pinpointed denite’s sound at the border of deep and tech-house but his long player debut is, sonically, a fresh new adventure. the spanish producer takes a developed and matured sound into deeper dimensions of self-reflection, exploring new sonori- ties while remaining loyal to his early influences with strong personal touches on drums and keys. everything i know and i will never know about you is a bold move for denite, who comes a step closer to achieving his artistic vision. tracks like when i go out and the art of letting go embody the album’s innate dance-floor nature while songs like berlin see the spanish producer looking square towards new horizons and musical ambitions. club-friendly while staying geared towards the headphones, everything i know and i will never know about you reads like a bridge between two love stories with similar paths and mirroring endings. opening with the slow, pulsating sound of a heartbeat, it follows the universal cycle of the highs and lows of a relationship, closing on brighter promises and new potentialities.

after showcasing the debut releases from the high on wye quintet (magic mountain high, soulphiction and steevio) and monoak, the freerotation label returns with a various artists 12” featuring four more artists intrinsically linked by the annual festival. anthony child, aka surgeon, has been a regular fixture since first appearing at freerotation in 2011. his recent exploration of modular synthesis and use of the buchla music easel has found a home in the ambient yurt at the festival, and equally has manifested in album projects such as 2015’s electronic recordings from maui jungle vol 1. “unconscious fearless determination” follows on from this more experimental, less dancefloor-focused side to child’s work, while still pulsing with the techno fundamentals that quickly defined him back in the mid ‘90s. duckett hails from north wales, and has been a key part of the freerotation fabric since the beginning of the event. after some releases on mindtours, mindyourhead and sthlmaudio back in the mid-‘00s, his music has started to reach a new audience through releases on untilmyheartstops and a clutch of lauded live performances. “breaks my heart when i remember that day” captures the alien synthesis and emotional heft that singles duckett out as such a remarkable artist. steevio is the co-founder of freerotation and mindtours records, responsible for a huge swathe of techno releases reaching back to the ‘90s. as well as his releases on mindtours, he has recently appeared on untilmyheartstops and in collaboration with pev on schmorgabsord, and is set to appear on russ gabriel’s new label rivers of groove. with its expressive swells of off-kilter melody and snaking drum lines, “pendulum” continues the thread of exploration steevio has been following on his journey into experimental modular techno. tom ellis has been prolifically issuing forth material in a soul-enriched space in between house, techno and funk for more than ten years. from running the acclaimed trimsound label to releasing albums and singles on telegraph, archipel, hartchef discos and more recently ethereal sound to name but a few, tom’s recorded work and immersive live performances continue to reach out to new moods and timbres. “as a take” finds tom at his most reflective, layering on dubby effects and organic instrumentation in a truly meditative end to the ep.

nice price deal !!! macro has been the home for the albums of some of electronic music’s most exciting live acts. so when a live band enters this context, it should better enter with a bang. kuf do just this with their album debut. the three-piece outfit with keys, bass and drums cooks up a sound that is as warm, cozy and exciting as it is utterly alien. the rhythm section hints at the great history of dirty funk and bouncing r’n b, but the grooves are firmly of today: dance-centered, thrillingly interactive and broken up at the best possible joints. the bewildering thing about kuf is that it is a vocal-led group that has no singer on stage at all. all vocal elements are based on self-recorded samples which keyboard whizz kid tom schneider melds and bends and squeezes in real time. as if it was the most natural thing to do. with no artificial synchronization in place, valentin link on bass and hendrik havekost on drums push the disembodied voices into an arena of hyperintegrated realtime magic of rough soul, intertwined by improvised outbursts and shaped with the aesthetics of raw mpc-based cut up techno.

saft welcomes nortasun to it s expanding roster of artists. with not too much info being available about the artist, the music should do the talking. nortasun comes up with a sample drenched ep that consists out of swell basslines, mind expanding chords and outlandish percussion works. untitled 1 opens up with a carefully placed disco sample that hovers over the rhythms very nicely. the percussion section and the ascending chords serve the overal ambiance while nortasun plays with the extended loop pattern that maintains of interest. untitled 2 serves as a very deep but functional voyage into tribal territory. a vary of percussion sets in and smartly exchanges tones with fx cuts. on the b side fudge fingas debuts on saft with an atmospheric beast of a remix for untitled 1 that constantly grows and cleverly uses vocal cuts that change up the original atmosphere and makes the overall a very broad work of house music. the stevie wonder like clava hit + piano solo s that come in when the remix progresses are all in courtesy of the edinburghian producer himself.

known for his more elegant and subtle atmospheric techno music though, conforce is never afraid of deviating from his safe zone. sometimes a change of environment can bring new musical influences and shine new light on existing musical projects. there is a small narrative about this release. what happens when you place an island boy in an multicultural harbour metropolitan city? stuff might get a little bit more rough edged from time to time. a transition from the serene tranquility of the islandic coasts to the impatient impulsiveness rush of the metropolitan city. narrative collapse ep contains music created though more impulsive machine jamming. be ready to get a fix of rotterdams real danger. play loud!

ned ludd, possibly born edward ludlam, is the person from whom, it is popularly claimed, the luddites took their name. in 1779, ludd is supposed to have broken two stocking frames in a fit of rage. after this incident, attacks on the frames were jokingly blamed on ludd. when the luddites emerged in the 1810s, his identity was appropriated to become the folkloric character of captain ludd, also known as king ludd or general ludd, the luddites alleged leader and founder. disclaimer: this record was made by real immigrants

following on from last years exceptional ‘obsession ep’ from art crime is a budding young talent by the name of will lister. originally from lyme regis, will moved up to london to attend goldsmiths university and in his spare time he helps us out behind the counter here at the shop. when he’s not here at the shop you can also hear him playing records on his balamii radio show or his monthly club night, ‘the aten’. ‘the phantom ep’ is his production debut and we’re extremely happy to be putting it out on our main imprint. the title track opens up the ep with heavily reverbed pads, echoed claps, crunchy percussion and repetitive synth stabs that all work together to create spaced-out atmosphere that’s full of twist and turns. flipping over to the b-side, ‘after the light’ picks up the pace with a driving high-hat rhythm and full-bodied kicks that underpin warm piano keys and smooth synth lines. ‘agency’ closes proceedings by turning up the intensity to full with a masterclass in building tension.

not too long ago a jiffy bag arrived at parkwest hq. in it was a scratched tdk case with a sa-x tape containing a musical message from years past, simply marked the tape i lost! we sat and listened, able to pinpoint influence and reference but yet hearing something totally new. that this tape surfaced and made it across the years and the miles to us was fortunate. when the synth part came through clear on a later version on the tape, allowing us to remix then it became destiny. emotion, melody and rhythm will always be timeless and these tracks, selected from that tape, are as relevant today as they ever were.

volume 2 pools more of demi s extensive network of friends and is truly a heavyweight mix of reworks that each shine in their own light. leading the charge is a masterful re-intepretation by one of the scene s truest artists in eric volta who came to be known to the masses thanks to his club smash hit love your illusion on no.19 records. volta completely flips fresh & made on its head with a sonic exploration that is typically understated yet full of tension. the mix glides through a range of emotions and helps expose pagues vocals in a new light and demonstrates once more the studio prowess this man has when he is given free reign to manifest his mind onto the mixing desk.

our latest looking for mushrooms ep comes to us from a collaboration between long time dirt crew resident tigerskin and gifted jazz pianist and composer grambow. we first heard from grambow when his fluid key stylings featured on tigerskins faint in 2015. the title track is a suspenseful and moody journey, lead by live double bass from feature artist das eb. building in intensity with tigerskins warm production and steady percussive instrumentation until grambows live lead on a gritty synth growls in over the top. a true modern electronic classic as far as we are concernred. tsukiji is a playful deep house groover. balmy tuned percussion and shaken highs roll along under the light hearted piano which cruises along throughout the whole tropically touched endeavour. this track has party written all over it! octocat is a tougher italo disco tainted work out, tightly programmed live and analogue percussive elements push along, while wailing keys lick over a tenacious grunting bass. you can really taste and feel the long studio sessions the guys had to compose this great track. it is so much more than generic dance music. red fox is a divine culmination of the pairs compositional prowess and dance music knowhow. a cinematic and spirited house track that glides and glistens via delicate piano, plucky percussive riffs, bright strings and woodwinds. we are very honoured to release this outstanding musical release by tigerskin and grambow.

what if we took you back to your untroubled teenage days, when all seemed complicated and easy to reach at the same time? that is exactly what cassius managed to transpose in 15 again: a carefree music, coloured by some deep songs, like an emancipated soul, but always tormented. the hit “toop toop”, sampled by madonna or david guetta, among others, and the intense “la notte” illustrate perfectly this state of mind of the youth. pharrell williams is present on the song “eye water”, a beautiful ode to our planet and its natural resources, and cassius has got further exciting surprises for you. we’re releasing their third album once again for this summer, a real shot of freshness to relieve you from the heat!

o.v. wright war ein legendärer soulsänger, der leider 1980 viel zu früh an einem herzinfarkt gestorben ist. obwohl der 41-jährige sänger insgesamt 13 top 50 r&b-hits zu verzeichnen hatte, kann man ihn nicht nur an seinem kommerziellen erfolg messen. er wurde als einer der größten und ausdrucksstärksten sänger des genres verehrt und mit größen wie otis redding oder solomon burke verglichen. “treasured moments” enthält eine essentielle auswahl an singles, die er zwischen 1965 und 1976 auf don robeys back beat label und abc records veröffentlicht hat.

i was deep in texas when a call came through... -hey man it s cherry ! ...we got some sick new shit for you, gonna blow your mind- i waited nervously for the package. it arrived two weeks later. i slipped the hot black acetate from its wrapper and placed it on the turntable... wired guitars wail like banshees on heat, primal beats erupt drenched in dark juice from roots of trees slick with crunk. flutes and bells hang like exotic flowers that reek of jungle sex and all night long the pulse goes on and on and on as usual cherry was right...this most surely is one sick motherfucker of a record. don t get me wrong there s warped beauty here aplenty but you gotta take it easy. don t ingest it all at once...make sure you re in comfortable surroundings, trust me i know...six months later and i m still feeling the burn. damn you cherry garcia.

repress 2018... following on from isaac tichauer s street lessons release, the mysterious loft records calls in the talents of bicep, hackman, dorsia and lancelot for a choicest remix package. the french express signing turned many heads when he dropped his lauded devotion lp back in 2012, and since then the australian producer has risen to become a formidable name within modern day electronic music. therefore it s only fitting that an all-star cast were chosen to remix his latest release on loft records. bicep, who had an enormous 2015 with releases on aus and 50 weapons, begin the release with the only remix of higher level - a break infused cut fashioned for the dancefloor with a penetrating melody, echoing vocals and soaring pads. the first of three street lessons remixes then comes from hackman, known for his work on 20/20 vision and futureboogie, who incorporates serene synths and subtle stabs to transform the original into a quirky renovation with elements of funk. london duo dorsia then step up with a cacophony of sounds that build in suspense with the introduction of fuzzy atmospherics, until fellow australian and w&o street tracks artist lancelot generates a cavernous dub containing the originals infectious hook whilst implementing resounding rimshots and wobbly keys.

gone beyond. that s what they say when an (astro) pilot crashes to earth and takes the journey into the big sky. when juan trippe took that last flight little did he know that his re-incarnated self would be an electronic pioneer. in tandem with his co-pilot guido zen (his own father also a pilot) and kyle martin (from the land of light) they formed brain machine and scaled the highest peaks to bring back music both unearthly and intensely human. are we all not stardust anyway? this music proves it, takes you out flips you over and rolls you in stardust. don t try and think it through, make sense of it, grasp it - just wander in wonder and bask in beauty. get lost again.

• and finally make their full perc trax debut !
• features full printed jacket
• dj feedback to follow
• berlin / manchester noiseniks and finally make their full perc trax debut after first appearing on the label in 2014 when they served up a suitably screw-faced remix of drax s phosphene . now regarded as one of the most uncompromising production outfits on the european techno scene they widen their musical vision across these four tracks without leaving behind the raw aesthetic and driving energy that has characterised their music and their live performances over the last few years. from the kind of straight up 4/4 pounders that have made the closing slot at electric deluxe s awakenings events their own, to experiments with off-kilter drums and caustic noise this ep is as good a statement of and s present and future as you ll hear all year.

a certain level of soulful expression can be reached only when stars align correctly up there as well as down here. once in a while a new track comes along that fools you into thinking you are listening to some lost re-discovery from the catacombs of american soul. the first release on timmion records new stylart imprint should leave a lasting mark on all friends of quality soul balladry. -love can last forever- by the enigmatic fred is the tune that will turn your heart to the love side whether you hear it at the end of a heavy club night, gripping on the wood grain wheel, or leaning on the bars of the penitentiary. who is fred then, you might ask. suffice to say he is a complicated man, who possesses a buttery falsetto and the rare power to turn banal testimonies of heartache and love into cathartic magic. this basically means he has soul, and we don t state this lightly here at timmion. after his first release, there are a few other heaters lined up, so be prepared for fred, his star is rising.

music is love, music is passion and music is crossroads. in 2007, s3a was huge fan of an album called byron & onra -the big payback-. when byron and s3a met in mid-2015, the project of an ep came out instantly. the s3a records team is really thrilled to present this magical 7 tracks ep mixing deep sample based house music, hip hop, an even general electronical music. this ep goes with a collaboration between s3a and byron on the track “nights in tokyo”. always looking forward house music and hip hop, euphoria ep will be for sure one of the most important of 2016 house music. clearly musical, byron the aquarius signs here a major ep by its size (7tracks) and its quality. the s3a team is thrilled to release this jewel of what usa can do in electronic music. deep, musical, emotional, full of history… we can hear here some ur, 4hero and great nowadays sample based house music background : the roots of the s3a records

rustling pillows, irate flamingos, drums thumped feverishly in basements. tweaked cassettes, noisy buses, restless hands tapping dashboard rhythms in thick dusk traffic. found sound, musique concre&#768,,te, stuttering drum loops forged in twilight boredom — hyperedited into ruminative dance collages. pillow by mischa lively (ne&#769,,e barton, blake): 4 songs, 25 minutes, a hybrid of exertion and uplift. pillow marks both the nashville native’s debut for racecar and the denouement of an evolution. once rigidly stuck to notions of how rhythm should be utilized — barton is a trained percussionist — the producer eventually realized the potential in limiting himself to a minimalist diet of new and archived drum loops from which to build songs. studying myriad treatment techniques, barton then executed a vision unmoored to binary ideas about “live” versus “electronic,” blurring lines as he composed with an ear for idm, dub, techno, and ambient music. hence pillow: a vast assemblage of rhythm and sound performed to mirror the spirit of dance records. indeed, the 12” is as ripe for warehouse parties as meditative nights alone, headphones affixed, candles lit, marveling at the mysteries humans conjure with physical limbs. “rhythm is instinctual to me,” barton remarks when asked about his preference for recording analogue patterns versus beats sourced from 1s and 0s. “and i dislike sitting nearly as much as working from computers.” movement, then, is a virtue to barton, and in mischa lively he’s found a taut, elegant, propulsive vehicle in which to explore it.

something special from camp critical as two of electronic music’s leading lights lock horns for a vs battle of epic proportions. taking the jungle fleck of “mind & spirit” from sam’s “wasted days” lp of last year and one of breakage’s most memorable cuts from way back when (2005), the results are as you’d expect from these two. utterly essential listening.

henry street (named after brooklyn homeboy johnny’s neighbourhood) always had a ‘newyork’ vibe, and even when drawing its producers from further afield, the label encapsulated the city’s melting-pot of talent and raw, bristling energy... energy captured here, and exploding off these remasteredt racks like it’s 1999 all over again!so... dust off those dancing shoes, and get ready to feel the heat, it’s one more time for the henry street hustle!

when we signed bosq s tumbala featuring puerto rican legend tempo alomar on vocals last year we knew that it was a multi-cultural masterpiece. we also knew that giving it a boost for the club could take it to a whole other stratosphere. so we enlisted another one of our favorite multi culti producers, auntie flo to take it for a spin, and boy did he turn out a club jam!

broken body is the follow-up to 2015s do it again single. this two-stepping banger is dripping with 90s retrofuturist sensualism, a heady and visceral latin jazz-tinged house track with a back beat guaranteed to get the dancefloor jumping. alister s trademark synth flourishes mingle with the vocals of returning collaborator rahan boxley, creeping into the mix with that repeating hook of jump on in, slim. when the beats are this infectious and the melodies are this strong, it s hard not to obey. on the flip side, you ll find the deep vibes of -ago-, an analog electronic freight train with a touch of acid mysticism, as well as -endgame-, an ethereal creeper replete with rolling arpeggios and drum machines. alister johnson is a staple of the toronto dj community and has commanded decks as far afield as the us, the eu, and south africa. his diverse production c.v. includes work for dinamo azari as well as the polaris-nominated zaki ibrahim. keep your ears on alister johnson, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
