emerging from the romanian underground scene, talented young artist dragutesku finds fapte records with a prepared artwork for this release and by coincidence the name of his 2 tracks match the already made picture, so we’ve called it coincidente. on a side is the psychedelic logo of the label matching the track halucinant, having a minimal creepy sound but with a groovy pleasing vibe in the same time, making one hallucinate when listening to it & looking at the spinning center of the vinyl. as for b side, were we can find the track pastel, we must say we barely found this pastel-painting by leonid a. who gave us the right to use it, completing the art for this release maching the colorful minimal sound of the track by dragutesku later on. these are the true facts and actions (en.trans.= fapte) we experienced and hope to transmit further along with this 180g limited vinyl.

matrixxman and echologist team up for prruk’s 2x12 ep “black & white”. as the title suggests, this comes in a black + white package showcasing sturdy techno rhythms that have happened when these two stalwarts got into the studio together. acidic tones, thumping bass drums and adventurous fx sweeps. from rhythm driven techno cuts to the more oddball bits, “the black & white ep” proves to be a versatile yet energetic package.

sébastien léger delivers two solid originals and is backed up by arjuna schiks’ trippy dreamy remix. oracle has a french house sound to it characteristic of léger with a moroderesque arpeggio bassline. his excellent production skills shine brightest when he plays the keys in the second break. trytosphere is a somewhat new direction for the frenchman, a sunny track with a balearic feel to it. a real summer soundtrack. arjuna schiks adds a trippy take on the original with a nice upbeat energetic groove layered on top of a spacey bell and synth soundscape which echoes in the background.

two of australia’s most promising prospects have collaborated on a stand alone release. modern day renaissance beat maker ta-ku and brisbane-based vocalist wafia will release the (m)edian - ep worldwide on future classic. having previously work together on wafia’s own standout single ‘heartburn’, the plan for a collaborative release was hatched when ta-ku produced a cover of estelle’s ‘american boy’, aptly titled ‘american girl’ with wafia on featuring vocals, for a sold out moma ps1 live show in october 2015. the result is a 5 track release that unites the strengths of each artist - a unique, creative and classy exploration of admiration, paternity, compromise and egalitarianism.

damien lynch enjoys countryside a drive in the twilight hour. this is his second offering for the esp institute. on side a, brunette opens with a straight-ahead techno thump of hi-hats and a pulsating 16th-note bassline—a subtle playing field composed solely with a rare 1970’s italian machine, the godwin drummaker 32, unearthed from the secret back room of a music shop in rural ireland where it hid among wonderful vintage russian synths and oddball electronics. this elegant track drips with warm and phasing pads, gentle staccato keys and beautifully simple arpeggios that blur every now and then—all affirming damien’s less-is-more ideology. with side b’s forced relax, damien continues to exercise his restraint, arranging his instruments in a band-like fashion, affording each player the sonic space to project their individual qualities whilst supporting an overall dialogue. there is a soft ebb and flow to every machine’s role, whether the swelling of bass or the interplay of percussive keys, but when these characters arrive in one place, the result is a tranquil euphoria. these two songs will accept you for who you truly are.

bucketround presents the eighth ep written and produced by manuel costela, 3 tracks and the remix of tominori hosoya (japan) inspired by japanese middle ages, when mythological monsters wake up from the deep.

pussy mothers is the behaviour of a cross-continental two piece from scotland and down under: formed by waving not drowning. chasing percussions, vocal athletics and hand claps concocted into a platter of disco junk funk and early hip hop rhythms, the number 1 ep took shape in glasgow s tenement flats and came to life through a spaced-out echo party held at green door studios.

mountain ash is an alias of producer lusty zanzibar. when the track portmanteau was sent to uber they immediately picked up this slice of hynotic experimental loveliness. layer upon layer of emotive synths and a pulsing arp help you drift towards a beautiful climax. coyote slow the pace a little keeping the hypnotic pulsing arpeggio and add some lazy beachside drums, percussion, a few pianos and kalimbas creating a beautiful beach bar shuffler. brooklyns finest zoovox create a subtle analogue rework staying close to original but adding their own delicate vibrations. drift away into the sunset.

welcome to the rocksteady sound from jamaica. towards the end of 1965 some say due to the extreme heatwave that was hitting the island the people that followed the sound system dances demanded a slower beat so they could still move and groove to the all night musical night affairs. so the jerky ska swing was slowed down to a steady beat that also allowed the songs cut at this time to shine throgh. so sit back and enjoy the tunes that rocked this islands between 1966-1968 the rocksteady sound that hit that town..

nice price deal !!! a new collaboration in the highgrade mansion.todd bodine, one of highgrade s most profilic djs and producers, teams up for this perfect little joint with highgrade debut ludwig coenen, who seems to be willing to conquer from scratch. from the very first second, these three trax pave the way for a rockin, totally mad yet very structured electronic desaster, which is not easy to categorize musically, as it surely goes beyond your typical (post-)minimal track. a sure shot for all advanced djs with balls and brains, trippy, groovy as hell and flashing when least expected

some more uncut diamonds by s4aw... robert nedelcu aka lecsicu from rural romania is only 26 but already a skillful and dedicated producer of oldschool-flavoured house music with a tek-edge. on top we ve got vocals by berinika van wyk a singer born in south africa. robert was inspired by guys like rick wade, mr. g, kerri chandler, and of course moodyman. his trademark are strong percussions, little harmonies every now and then and a “tracky” atmo to his tunes that sound very chicago-ish. all three original tunes are pure, vintage-style house music a little on the tech side. so this clearly is an ep for the dancefloor and for early morning sessions when the sun s coming up again... “route to 95” received a groundbreaking rework by detroit house music veteran gari romalis. with incredibly deep subbass sequencies he makes this tune a deep jam like you never heard one befor

so when stu gardner was rounding up a late night studio session, putting the finishing musical touches to a t.v production he had been commissioned for, he thought he would use the last few hours to record one more song. wow are we glad he did. “don’t fight the love” is making movements in the disco circles and with the modern soul boys. an unnamed female vocalist gives you the performance of her life! this had been sitting dormant until 1980.

a slice of international oddball rap from la baleine 3000, a group composed of belgian producer lawrence le doux, french dj afrojaws, and japanese mc illreme. the ep features seven cuts of soft, dreamy beats, vinyl fuzz, and delicate verses that speak to hip-hop’s universal appeal and ability to transcend boundaries. as illreme puts it on the nap , “the story is always over on the way. when does this story end?”

this is volume two of a two volume set from edit master gay marvine justly called dance floor favorites. these are some of his most sought after unreleased edits that are known for their strong reaction on the dance floor. they cause an instant heat. his perversity shines through the extreme tempo shift of “jungle fever” lifting it up into pure ecstatic dance floor action, with all the eroticism of “french kiss” and all the spanish funk groove of barrabas. we could to listen to the hypnotic “goodnight” for hours on end, finally seeing light on vinyl. gay marvine’s “what’s happening bro” is not an edit per se, it’s what happens when you cross that line and it becomes house. this is perhaps his greatest tribute to moodymann and his sets at better days,hotbox and la dolce vita. the ep ends with the ever dirty “bump man” and gay marvine’s unique feverish take the needy anthem. gay marvine might just be the frankie knuckles of edits, because his music will keep you warm in the cold, a true musical heater.

2015 was probably the busiest of my career, during the course of the year i lived many hours of flights and delays at airports, stayed at hotels with wonderful views immersed in nature and others, on the contrary, very urban. i must admit that many of these scenarios were the kick start of the creative process of oscillators ep. this is an ep conceived strictly for the dancefloor, and its creation was a perfect combination between air and land, as all the tracks began on a plane and were developed on land. a very important part of the creative process when youre working on a track is the mood youre in, and there is always an extra excitement before, during and after each show, the space where you work. i take advantage of that moments and translate those feelings into music. - flug
