after one year since the first release night visions, the nightdrivers team is back for another race on their own imprint with a bunch of fresh, obscure and rolling bangers named nightlights: the record starts with the mutant and spastic tech funk of the epic bright lights, a totally sweat walled basement track where a dirty, crispy and crunchy disco break combines with an edgy, syncopated 909 driving beat while a cheeky melody of party-bells going slightly out of tune runs on the top of it.

a couple of years into honing their skills in the studio and behind the booths, the very dynamic duo known as andhim returns to get physical to present us with ‘spayce, the latest specimen of their self-christened super house genre. raised on a steady diet of hip hop and jazz, the cologne-native pair have proven to many far and wide that they are entertainers at heart and envelope-pushers by nature. taking turntables where they seldom go to turn them into instruments, as well as the heavy use of samples and real-world inspiration to set their own creations apart, its fair to say that ‘spayce is just another example of the duos eclectic, eccentric inclinations. two tracks long and spanning from dance floor epic to quirky by way of some particular glitch, piano work and musical hiccups, ‘spayce ep is a very sweet addition to an already original discography.

nach einem fulminanten debütalbum, das sowohl dancefloors der welt als auch kritiker außer atem ließ, kehrt jeremy guindo aka bambounou nun mit *centrum* in albumlänge zurück. guindo benutzt verspielte electro-synths (echter electro, siehe detroit), die den hörer in einen trance-zustand versetzen, der durch die peitschenden percussions von tracks wie *each other* gestört wird. im gegensatz zu *orbiting* bewegt sich *centrum* eher weg von bass und footwork und hin zu ambient und techno. *centrum* ist keine reine clubplatte, die von vorn bis hinten mit brettern vollgestopft ist (obwohl fähige djs trotzdem viel stoff finden werden), dennoch werden auch die *orbiting* fans wieder begeistert sein. das doppel-vinyl erscheint im klappcover, inklusive poster und downloadcode.

this ep was made during a period where my whole outlook on everything was transforming. the voidloss project started as an investigation, i was conducting a lot of research and study on the mind, the occult, on different thought modes, and the voidloss project represented this. the idea was about a leap in to the void. a leap of abandonment into the dark, with total acceptance, total commitment.

a club in the parthenon basement where you cant see in front of you, you lose yourself as the antipodean heat beat surrounds you. this is the latest imagination of melbourne-based band leader nicolaas oogjes. marrying into a greek family (his wife contributes spoken word on two tracks), oogjes became fixated with hellenic culture and its impact on humanity, prompting his rotating cult of collective consciousness musicians no zu to spiral deeper into their celebration of global rhythm and percussion. their even weirder, sparser and more synth driven sound is the result of creative exchanges with home loan records ceo michael ozone, who helped them realise the strange and complete world of medusa music.

neustadtmusik, with great pleasure, presents two excellent new tracks. dietrich & strolch have created an exquisite, smooth piece of music. the two brothers, who are known for their live sets that take their audience on a journey, have combined their passion for percussions and wicked synth sound perfectly. this track takes you to a deep underground techno dance floor where you find yourself dancing with your eyes closed and drifting away into another dimension, to the ocean, the sun and warm sand between your feet and back. sous sol s track on this release has it all, including a sense of delight that brings out a smile on your face. the rolling bass line brings in mind the siberian express rolling through the cold winter landscape of russia while at the same time there is warmth and the heart gets filled with these warm elements. this rolls parallel to a consistent build up throughout the whole track that makes this composition just perfect.

marking a clandestine arrival out of, seemingly, nowhere, black swan emerges from the shadowy billows of smoke to immerse listeners in a lucid, cavernous dream, tracing silhouettes in the darkness with drowning ambience and orchestrated drones that screech and howl intermittently amongst the disorienting magnetic tape disturbances. black swan operates under a guise of far-away sounds traveling through murky waters, drowning the listener in its heavy-handed layers of ghostly resonance.

nice price deal !!! a journey where techno enters a land of shadows and rarefactions, escaping images, dark suggestions. where gravity becomes a relative concept, uncertain, and where cinematic refractions count as much as the dance floor rules, in a continuous encounter. it is time to get involved. after plenty non trivial satisfactions, at the end of 2013 comes the time for federico to higher the stakes. he leaves the clockwork project for a solitary one. the richness of past experiences, the years in new york (and in musical and retinal education). a musical background that goes from the sharp and geometrical hip-hop of gang starr to the spirituality of basic channels techno dub, passing through the visionaries of radiohead and to the complex lightness of matthew herbert. now, all this brings the will to give life to a new sinuous, fascinating and profound creature. millennium ep 2014. five tracks that create space, that map an itinerary, that breathe deeply.

more essential burrell related goodness from the vaults of nu-groove. this time the brothers collaborate with basil thomas aka the wonderfully named basil hardhaus on “make me dance-, another stomping ny garage house smasher from 1991. it’s all here, vocal mixes, dubs, shout outs to all the radio and club dj’s of the day, the record store and promotions people and most importantly - the regulars and dancers of nyc’s legendary shelter club where the brothers were regular fixtures! on the flipside there’s more garage pressure in the shape of the grooving “for the underground” and 2 separate mixes of the much sampled (but never bettered!) “black man-. all the tracks included here have that deep, late night, classic sound that is instantly recognizable as the burrell brothers, sultry vocals, warm pads & heavy, swinging, raw drum beats! “make me dance” has always been one of the tougher 12&#8243,,,,,,,s to track down from the enviable nu-groove catalog. now it’s here, back again, re-mastered, re-pressed and re-issued in conjunction with the burrell brothers and nu-groove records. complete with original label artwork. one for the real house heads!

metropolis- is it an actual city or a digital fantasy a construct formed inside a synthetic brain? either way this is the soundtrack to a city that exists somewhere. a place that comes alive at nightfall and breathes artificial light until dawn. where millions of human threads interweave, and a machine conciousness drifts by on the periphery, searching for an intimate connection. limited pressing.

>sleduyushly< or who is next on sol asylum is anton zap. we are pleased to be closing out 2014 with the delightfully well-crafted deep house that resonates within anton. we start with talking a simplistic yet deep and ever-evolving atmosphere with peculiar echoes and noises that speak to us through constantly moving metallic percussion. next rublewood with its trotting wooden clicks and oscillating claps we morph through the track until the euphoric themes expand bringing us to the next level. in my lesson, anton channels a 90s ambience with a definite feel for funk. arpeggiated synths with just a hint of acid mixed with harmonic pads and unconventional horn riffs bring this eccentric soundtrack together. finally her lesson brings us to more experimental territory with a futuristic outer galactic journey through space and time where a metronomic kick, walking bassline and gleaming pads transport us to another dimension.

2014 was a busy year for ztrl and tape hiss alike. we’ve been enjoying the support of numerous music-addicts, record collectors and djs for which we are massively grateful. this is exactly why we are going back to where it all started and bringing you a new ztrl release. the tracks which are featured on jelen (’now’ in english) ep work well on their own yet they form a cohesive sound when put together. each track on the release is universal as we can think of them as dj tools in a good sense or as slowly building independent compositions. it’s up only to the djs how they wish to use them.

the second release of inkblots involves three great artists deeply active into the international techno scene: the japanese go hiyama and the berlin based duo i/y. on side a, go hiyama’s first track ‘recur’ delivers sinister atmospheres matched with a tough kick and industrial bleepy elements. slow and paranoic drones get in and out contributing to enlarge the sound perception. the second track ‘prop’ introduces elegant hi-hats and strident synths. a captivating kick perfectly embraces the shrill synths waving together with the sharp drum, what remains of the first side is just tense ambients, forewarning the journey is not over. side b smells like a dark club firing up, indeed i/y’s aim is not different at all. ’thesys 0000.001’ debuts with a thin bassline and distorted grave surroundings. the track evolves with clean slap hats sound in an empty echo chamber. deep timbres rise and fall, turning the entire route gently aggressive. the second track is an idm experiment which keeps a trippy approach and the clarity of claps and hi-hats. solid as the first one, ‘thesys 0000.003’ sets itself as an hypnotic but pleasant moment where suspicious fragments quickly appear and disappear: a sparkled trip to be enjoyed anytime but not by anyone.

for a long time, vidal benjamin has been getting up early at the weekends. whether alone or in company, he digs his hands into various crates at record fairs, flea markets or in empty attics, to uncover records that have long been forgotten, ignored or even despised. among the small circle of parisian diggers, his reputation precedes him: it is he who finds and it is he who shares. it is not unusual that in his wake, one finds a certain record long lost, left behind as a special gift from vidal. he likes to share so that others may discover. and it is for that same reason that he regularly sleeps late, playing records in clubs at night, where he follows a similar path: altruistic, educational and festive. it’s no surprise, then, that his first compilation goes by the fitting title of disco sympathie.
