!! ltd repress !! metereze follows its karmic path of delivering stomping dance floor oriented cuts, this time with the help of john dimas, expressed into the telexistence ep. working both as access keys as well as soul transporters, the 4 tracks are a peek into an alternate reality, where room filling baselines go as mood uplifters along with the textured chords that submerge the crowd into the deep waters of dreamy house music.

mei zhiyong had been instrumental in arranging dp’s tour of china. when mei zhiyong and dave phillips first met in beijing in july 2014, mei spoke not a word of english and dp not a word of chinese. and they we were to embark on an 18 city tour together. verbal communication between mei and dp was obviously difficult to say the least. it would often result in comical misunderstandings, total puzzlement or bewilderment, but it would also be a source of constant amusement with wonderful moments of instinctive trust. but then there is sound, the ultimate language… to return the favor, dp arranged a tour for mei and himself in october 2015 through 20 european cities. which is where the source material was recorded. dp then selected, dissected and transformed those recordings to work out something different, not just a collaboration, not just an amalgam of two styles, but something new for both. the compositions on this lp are the result.

excellent detroit house madness, decks tip!

inspired by the original, the pair turn moneymax into cashminus to deliver two tracks born in a place where belgian new beat, ebm and early rave sounds meet. the result is club monster no satisfaction, which comes in two incarnations: the original vocal version plus an even meaner acid dub for those anxious strobo moments.

christian nielsen is a musician you would not immediately expect to see behind the speicher / kompakt extra crest. we love to surprise your ears and have enjoyed for some time his outsider approach to any genre he chooses to tackle. in particular with “hard times” – a prime-time melodic monster that bridges the right transitions. right when you need them to. berlin via belgium techno juggernaut locked groove has been on our radar for ages thanks to releases on hotflush and afterlife. “dawn” is one of those magical tunes that loop along but evolves with every listen. you hold us to it that we think it could be the best set opener 2017 will have to offer. intricate drums balance well with lush minimalistic melodies. our speicher series rapidly heads towards 100. where it goes, only we know - so savour the flavour while it lasts.

a quasar is the most luminous object in the known universe. it emits extreme amounts of visible light, but radiates like crazy on all other wavelengths, as well. here you can get as close to a particularly energetic quasar as no man has ever been before - during an adventurous space flight with felix eul and a bunch of other well-travelled sound cosmonauts. this voyage takes you to the final frontiers and beyond where you might even encounter strange aliens like the pianoctopus, known to sneak its tentacles into the ears of unsuspecting astronauts and to tickle their skullcaps from the inside. by the way, during our flight we might experience turbulences which you will experience as sudden, adrenaline-loaded outbursts of euphoria. they are caused by transdimensional discharges along the wings of our spaceship, a phenomenon known as interplay.

mysteries. adventures in paradise. in a world where we got it all clear and cut. it pays to see between the lines this track first caught our attention in the series of yen parties we did last year across europe, and every time this tune got the id treatment. he followed it up quickly with the soul burning joonya. both tracks are beasts in the club, and we hope you feel them too.

releasing timeless music has always been one of the main aims of hivern. sometimes, this purpose asserts itself in curious manners. take margot s moderno , a track made in 2003, several years before the label was born. actually, when pepe and giaga produced the piece for a punk oriented art installation, margot didn t even exist as a project. 14 years later, moderno sounds as fresh and contemporary as it can be. it s one of those cuts that chases a very specific idea with a very unconstrained scheme, that knows exactly where it wants to go, but is not sure about how to get there.

public release’s lucky thirteen and second release of 2017 is by another kindred spirit newcomer to the label, earth boys, a brooklyn-based duo that’s all dreamy keys, soft pads, peace frogs, throwback vibes, and deftly futuristic house rhythms, though not necessarily in that order. with trail mix, mike sherburn and julian duron have built four gloriously friendly, oddball house cuts— cheeky, choppy vocal samples juxtaposed against schmaltzy piano licks and punchy tribal rhythms rubbing against smooth bass figurations. their ironic sense of humor intersects with precisely crafted productions in a way that underscores both, making the ep a brilliant concoction of bouncy, energetic dance music that teases the genre as much as it revels in it. if that messes with your head, just shut down your left brain, drop the needle, take a big ol’ rip, and see where a microdose of earth boys will take you.

simply put, this album is a must have for any listener yearning for exciting and fresh contemporary music.

adult only 47 has arrived with pierre codarin dropping some funk on 3 originals alongside a remix from dan ghenacia and chris carrier.........a1 telefunk kicks off things and rolls with a wonky filtered drum pattern picking up a real swung groove before a subtle vocal is then joined by a bass line can only be described as something from a late night jazz workout in the deepest darkest realms of the parisian capitol...detroit style pads and intricate keys keep this groove interesting through out the track pushing it forward more and more with sweet drum edits and skips that are all to known from pierre. a2 morning eyes twists things up with trippy spacey pads and a very nice 303 sitting low in the mix. driving drums make this track work well as it draws to a stripped back moment where the 303 really comes through and does its thing. this really is 6 minutes of a funk fueled adult only workout!b1 telefunk remix dan ghenacia and chris carrier dan and chris bring their twist on pierre s telefunk coming through with a very interesting take on things producing a very tight rework........... b2 evening juice grooves along with a nice warped synth stabs, a bass line that throws it self around the room, the drum pattern keeps things energetic through out alongside a faintly obscure vocal fitting well in the track, evening juice brings the soul and finishes the ep nicely making this overall a very solid package from pierre.

parisian dj and producer kiddy smile embodies the lifeblood of house music past and present. his music flashes with nostalgia for those mid-80s new york basements where house music first came alive. ‘teardrops in the box’ pulses with the intoxicating energy of a ball in kiddy’s native paris, with its deep-rooted traditions but its intensely forward-focussing culture. following up on his fearsome debut ‘let a b!tch know’ on defected, kiddy smile has deployed the well-established remixing capabilities of mystic bill, a house champion from the underground schools of detroit and chicago. his ‘jersey dub’ eases back on the tempo for a syncopated strut to the garden state, while the ‘vocal mix’ is a bulkier prospect, emphasising kiddy’s growling vocal with some serious attitude bass. finally, his vinyl-exclusive ‘acid mix’ is specifically designed for getting twisted on dark, underground floors. cowbell and raw synths give ‘teardrops in the box’ unadulterated dancefloor credentials but this is more than a club record, the layers to this track run deep.

the mighty mystic bill, a true us house legend though somehow criminally underrated. those who know, know. his records have long had a mythical status among the diggers, with dj s who delve that little bit deeper weaving his sounds into their sets. having released on numerous labels including relief, trax, classic and more bill has cemented his rep as an artist that has his own vibe and sound. bill s music exists in that space where the late night meets the earliest morning, sweaty, dark dance-floors and stripped back, jacking tracks are the order of the day... proper, real deal house music. mystic files covers the period of 1989 - 1995 and showcases some of bill s various styles, originally released on trax in 1995 this timely reissue shines a light on an artists who definitely deserves more props! this release has long been a tough one to catch with second hand copies sometimes fetching healthy prices online and collectors clamouring to harness some of bill s magic... this will be right up your alley if you re a fan of ron hardy, relief / cajual, steve poindexter, armando and everything in between! sleeping not advised!

rising young talent, elliot adamson, has been on the edible radar for a couple of years already, so it’s fitting that his debut for the eats everything curated imprint marks the label’s tenth release. the newcastle born producer has been gathering an arsenal of some of the freshest and inventive house music for some time now, and two of these cuts are ripe and ready for consumption on this tasty edible release. with its insatiable jackin’ vibe, “still workin” has already become a firm favourite in the dj sets of eats everything, the dj deeon sampling track keeps pumping pure energy and classic chi- town house troupes from start to finish, with a rasping bassline riff worming its way around the solid kicks and clattering hats. the fantastically named “where the fucks my flanger at?” clearly represents his love of raw and undiluted house music. coming from the cajual/relief school of trax, this is another crafty and playful club cut from the house of adamson. having built up a strong following already, and support for his music from djs like jackmaster, skream and patrick topping,

roduced by roman flügel and jörn elling wuttke / published by copyright control mastered by dubplates and mastering, recut by stefan betke at scape mastering berlin alter ego recordings is very pleased, to rerelease this acid jesus classic, which is sounding just as fresh as it sounded, when it was released on klang elektronik back in 1997. the record was out of print since over 15 years and the tracks were not availlable on any digital platform. based on a very light, but striking ground construction, roman flügel and jörn elling wuttke leading their listeners over delicate fm-synthesis-sounds, minimal clonky bass patterns and snappy percussions to a long intermission breakdown, which reminds us of a starting boeing 747. where “interstate” plays like an inspired peakhour-jam should, “turkey skank” and “hibernation drive-, on the b-side, take on cooler tones for a headier machine-funk ride. the record was played out by dj’s like andrew weatherall, matthew herbert, luke slater, baby ford, dj hell, ellen allien, sven väth, ricardo villalobos, michael mayer etc.

juan ramos speaks twelve languages and loiters at the zoo. this is his second offering for the esp institute. last year his debut dropped us at the edge of oblivion and this follow-up release picks up right where he left us—atkm pumps right from the start with a collision of elastic percussion, tubular clinks and cranks under what sounds like fragments of our androgynous tour guide’s speech though a malfunctioning pa. halfway through the chaos she makes a left turn toward belgium where the drum programming fattens up and we acquire an optimistic shimmering of chords. on side b, globalizacio&#769,n a&#769,cido conjures imagery of a moonlit expedition on the hunt for lord-knows-what. many producers rely on jungle sounds, loosely appropriating some misguided sense of mysticism, but juan rules his own kingdom where he creates an ecosystem through synthesis and digital manipulation. the narrative quality of his production knows no limits and his ability to twist machines into this chorus of cyber-creatures puts him at the top of the food chain, however, no animals were harmed in the making of these two songs

“hermanio age” ep is driven by a bassline on which an elegant melodie is wandering. this ambient house tune wants to recall the spirit of nature, where you might hear the reflection of sunlight on water or the vast landscapes of deep space... the future is now, and here it is.

random numbers split series vol.1 is the new mask worn by bologna based label random numbers: two tracks recorded on a tape of 22 minutes per side, where is engraved the story of the clash of two modular synthesis warriors.

dead rail is a soundshaping railroad soaked in fog and cough.
dead rail is the breath that transforms light into smoke, smoke into brain waves and brain waves into some anamorphic sound blend.
dead rail is a walk through an eyeburning beat and runs on mandibular tracks.
dead rail is the dark corner of a party where the tones are stagnant in a motionless dynamic.
dead rail is the suspended activity of synapses while earing is driving the other senses.
dead rail is the dying frequency in your ear.
dead rail is noise from within.

while bringing the antidigital s four-fold path to completion, v.i.t.r.i.o.l. squares the symbolic structure of the series by focusing with conceptual precision and musical elegance the heaviest of elements within the alchemic cycle: water. both adaptable and erosive, essence and abyss, the paramount fluid is an archetype of metamorphosis. constantly attempting to overtake every obstacle towards the gravitational center, pervading and transmuting the earth by transforming itself, water eternally conquers the depths where it still serves as origin, nest and nourishment of life. like a torrent, v.i.t.r.i.o.l. tells and embodies the sublimating descent of water, taking shape as a pouring of micro-tonal falls, opening passageways through a radiant narration of deep intimate soundscapes. framing a sequence of almost religious experiments in circuit manipulation and digital-processing of the resulting electrical sound-fields, the short album signs the important inspirational contribution by drøp to dromoscope antidigital project. enchanting second outcome by sound designer giuseppe bifulco, v.i.t.r.i.o.l. resonates clearly of a post-modern electronic shamanism, a fascinating musical vision interpreting sound as a physiological trigger and music itself as a therapeutic instrument, a path for an interior empty-set (ø) capable to free consciousness from rational domain and reconnect it to deeper natural truths. like a map for the descent, v.i.t.r.i.o.l. engraves its own name and structure with one of the most substantial hermetic aphorisms ever, -visita interiora terrae rectificando invenies occultum lapidem-, dropping a hint and pointing a destination for the healing research of the truth: the unknown interiors of the world, the subterranean unveiled inner self.

there are depths in humanity which one cannot explore, as there are mephitic caverns into which one dare not penetrate. madness in any direction, at any hour. the anatomy of human destructiveness, a hole like a sewage drain for the fine clear coat of civilisation, a place where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools. if there is such a dark moloch which deviously knots a thread within us, with which to hold us and draw us down an eerie and delirious path that we would never otherwise have set foot on, then d. carbone’s mephistophelian alter ego honzo pulls us with his 4th installment “distopia - un mondo indesiderabile” right into its gaping abyss, leading us there where we would have never consented to go.
panic. it creeps up the spine like the rst rising vibes of an acid frenzy. the haunting chill upon your neck. there is a sound intensity makes while echoing through the body, the epinephrine pumping through the jugular vein, voices from unknown origin, the blood throbbing through the numb extremities, heart palpitations, the flashing visions, cold sweat, the heavy breathing, hyperventilation, dissociation, fight-or-flight. honzo gives us a vision of what it means to truly be in a world of terror and angst and in the secret bloodlit dark behind our eyes we enjoy the cathartic abreaction this brings us.

chicago house dj & disco edit machine chrissy launches a new series of white label 12inches on cool ranch. the first catchy disco house workout is we aint goin nowhere on the a side, which also gets a ponchartrain remix on the flip, where aaaahhh! also brings the 90s breakbeat action.

a new my rules release from the always on-point justin van der volgen featuring two previously unreleased remixes that showcase his varied and unique style. the a-side sees him take both the original and spencer parker remixes found on the the 2016 shit robot single lose control and through editing, blending and layering of fx concocts one serious bomb of a mega mix. think classic dj bootleg remixes on legendary labels like razormaid, disconet and hot tracks. the b-side is an altogether different affair where justin dispenses with all of the original music and only keeps the vocal from felix dickinson s 2014 acid jam burning flame. what comes out the other end sounds like lee perry and murk made a tune once they got back from a sleazy ny after hours. early plays and support from gerd janson, john talabot, tim sweeney. vinyl only.

currently based in stockholm where he djs regularly at late night city tracks at under bron, gordo is a mysterious and previously unsigned producer whose music spencer parker discovered on a documentary video about los angeles latino community and its roots in the rave and club scene of the early 90 s. breakbeat infused and reverberated percussion create the skeleton of opening track to the sky whilst crafty vocal snippets and saturated chords ebb and flow through its course. next up, para ti forms a tribal aesthetic with chanting vocal samples, deep bounding drums and hypnotic strings until breathe generates a timeless house aura with an irresistible lead synth complemented by floating pads. free expression is a dark dancefloor cut that closes the package with incessant kicks and twisted detuned blee

this anthology brings to light the music of robert Æolus myers, featuring recordings from 1982 to 2006 that were previously available only on cassette or cd.
the music within “a retrospective” tells the story of a man whose music elevates its listeners to a place of inspiration and enlightenment. often ethereal, Æolus’ music is driven by synthesizers, melodic flutes, sweeping patterns, and subtle rhythms to seed inspiration from deep within the listener.
one might assume that Æolus carved a new path for electronic music in hawaii, but the islands never quite fully embraced the burgeoning new age scene that Æolus found himself a part of during the 1980s and the early 1990s.
few artists in hawaii have produced a body of work, let alone embarked on a musical journey, such as the one that Æolus has created.
for aloha got soul, this release marks a new chapter of bringing rare and relatively unknown music of hawaii to the surface.

for it s fourth release, jongno edits got two tracks of pure korean grooves by editing wizard mori ra. two sides, two atmospheres: side a is a boogie banger that embraces all the elements of the top tunes of that era: strong drum beat, slappy bass synth and violins break downs. reinforced by killer funky guitars and congas that hold the groove tight! side b is your perfect sunset balearic cut for this summer. the dreamlike bells match perfectly the suave voices to prepare your ascend to the clouds of delayed organs and acoustic guitar where jeju becomes ibiza

while she may be based in berlin now, shanti celeste has deep roots within idle hands. from working behind the counter when the shop first opened to playing the label parties and co-running the neighbouring brstl label, shanti s contributions to the bristol house music scene have been ever-increasing as she has grown as an artist. having put out our her second ever 12inch,days like this, back in 2014, it gives us great pleasure to welcome her back as an internationally respected producer with a relentless gig schedule and a rich back catalogue of warm, heartfelt dance music that kicks where it counts. shanti s stylistic palette may have broadened over the past four years, but she s also retained a natural, unpretentious quality in her tracks that can span all manner of grooves and tempos. make time certainly chimes with her earliest house productions, but it s also offset by a wistful, meditative maturity. swooping pads, distant vocal threads and delicate fragments of breakbeat flirting in an aqueous soundscape whatever city shes based in now, this is surely deep house infused with a quintessential bristol ruffness. -thoughts- meanwhile speaks more to the artistic development shanti has undergone over the past few years, bearing the influence of melodic techno, electro and broken beat while striking a unique chord in the process. it s a hypnotic, alluring track that eschews basic dancefloor demands in favour of a more intimate headspace shaped out by snaking, polyrhythmic synth lines. both make time and thoughts stretch out over extended running times all the better for losing yourself in the heady atmosphere shanti has created on her very welcome return to idle hands.

indira paganotto returns with her third pooledmusic ep, featuring a pair of remixes from label boss ian pooley. having made her debut in 2012 aged just 19, indira has spent the intervening years honing her sound and exploring new approaches to music. currently based in madrid, paganotto s father was a dj in goa, where she spent a significant portion of her upbringing. having grown up with her father s collection of trance, acid & psychedelic rock records, paganotto s eclectic musical education has informed her music s individuality. her 2014 solo ep time out man blended these inspirations into a pair of evocative house grooves. this development continues with kashmir & savannah, both of which find the 24-year-old producer in confident form. ian pooley provides a pair of his own trademark dancefloor-focused dubs to complete a package that confirms paganotto as a new talent in the ascendancy.

picking up right where ep 1 left off, ep 2 kicks things off with a bang. first up is catz n dogz and yotam avnis for blakkat a high pace burner ideally suited for dance floors from panorama bar to under the leds of watergate and every club in-between. the duo return with the bright version of afterglow for the second cut on ep 2 and aptly titled, it pushes an intense, glitter filled ride to its limits. embarking onto the b-side, o.a. peas from heavy hitter eats everything & lord leopard take a trip down memory lane with a heavily sample based feel good tune that will absolutely demolish dance floors worldwide. rounding out the ep is a final collaboration between catz n dogz and reno wurzbacher with ma people and its by far the smoothest and most laid back tune of the bundle, but never does it let you rest as a mesmerizing groove and lush atmospherics tell a deep, complex tale of late nights and early mornings.

some things are heavy and some are not. why is it like this? style for instance seems to have no weight as long its timely and modern. gravity might change, but style endures. it s not how low you go, but where and when you show up. temporarily the peripheric mainstream may attract more likes then the contemporary self-contempt. gravity can be a bigger enemy then yourself. don t let gravity get you down! mix mups new 12 is fighting for a world where gravity is for everyone, regardless of rpm, bpm or bitrate. in this times mix mup and mikrodisko are standing as proud allies together. we shape magic carpets out of black gold! m12 vinyl slices will beat the terrestrial gravity! hover the spoon. over the moon.

london artist reframe delivers the debut release of process artefacts with the “bahama ice cream ep”. spiriting away into a carefree place and time of the night, “bahama ice cream” jets into the rave with floating melodies, sparkling like firework. “hold that thought” takes a step back to then launch forward at an even higher pace, intensifying the mood of the ep with dark jolts of bass and percussion. the blithe mood of “will we get closer than this?” is a blissful declaration of love. where dance floor strangers, bound together by the spell of a long and inspiring night, find each other without exchanging words.
the idea behind process artefacts, as the name suggests, is that the outcome of a creative process often is experimental and even accidental. celebrating the mistakes that create a sense of uniqueness and character of a recording.

you re alone and you close your eyes. don’t imagine figures of light, make the darkness conscious. it becomes deeper, not eyelids anymore, and then something is around you, but you can’t open your eyes, you’re deep inside them. merge into oneness, not bright above not dark below. something with has no echo. waves and motion, not space and time. if a tree falls in a forest where no one is listening, does it make a sound? there are no signs in the snow. why this dream of something cold? the world is blue at its edges, the colour of that which can never be possessed. blue flames, deep ice, twilight. how do you observe yourself without knowing that you’re looking? the other side of your face. why don’t you let the gap be a gap? i was afraid there was too much space. when you stop focusing the image appears. everything seen at once. turn yourself into a point to get behind the surface. a messenger between two worlds. the hidden meaning behind alchemy: to be born again. you’re not born into this world but out of it. travel by heat, words are too slow. sound knows how to get around edges, wiser than light.

manchester original sameed comes through on gamm with two tasty noodle nuggets based on his food experiences from vietnam where he currently resides. his simple yet effective approach is best described as sample-friendly underground dance music with influences of disco, soul and jazz. on his gamm debut the first noodle dish comes with a heavy disco and jazz-funk feel (bun) that together with some gritty vocals gives us a peak time jam to die for. for desert, sameed delivers chao which is way darker and chops up some deep jazz samples with some 4/4 rhythms. again, simple but oh so effective

flying was the italo disco project of marzio benelli and andrea venturoli from firenze, italy. marzio specialized in sound engineering at various recording studios in milan throughout the early 1980s. he opened emme studio where we worked with major national and international artists as claudio baglioni, renato zero, venditti, marco masini, pieces, mia martini, litfiba, mick ronson. in 1984 he met andrea, a sound programmer who knew his way around analog synthesizers. their first collaboration was that same year on the song

fresh from contributing to the voiceless series james clarke is back on analogical force with meteor ep, where he presents four new tracks. the classic shinra sound is in full effect: acid laced braindance, resonating electro and addictive melodies. lush and seamless production, as good in the sun as it is the depth of night. artwork comes by david o brien from impossing kittens, dublin.

womans heiß ersehntes debütablum happy freedom ist nun über asmara records erhältlich. einfache antworten sind gefragt. woman stellen lieber fragen. zum beispiel diese hier: where you gonna go when the planet erupts? heißt es im ersten vers von dust, dem ersten song auf happy freedom, dem ersten album des kölner trios. seit fünf jahren wird bereits über diese band gemunkelt, wer sie von anfang an kennt, tauscht seine frühen eindrücke wie geheimwissen aus. die geschichte begann 2012 in der kellerbar im belgischen viertel von köln. drei befreundete musiker aus der stadt hatten noch nicht einmal einen namen, aber das erste set stand. es war laut und chaotisch, halb einstürzende neubauten, halb suicide. wer damals dabei war, rieb sich die augen: okay, das ding steckte konzeptionell noch in den kinderschuhen, aber die intensität und experimentierfreude der musik nahm alle ein.

doppel-lp-re-issue des zweiten vic chesnutt albums von 1992.180g schweres vinyl plus acht neue bonustracks. dieses album wurde, wie auch sein debüt, von michel stipe von r.e.m. produziert. vic chesnutt war seit seinem autounfall im jahr 1983 von der hüfte abwärts gelähmt, was in der folge zum missbrauch von schmerzmitteln und alkohol führte. trotz dieser belastungen veröffentlichte er in seiner karriere 17 alben/eps. am 25. dezember 2009 nahm sich vic chesnutt das leben. die aussicht mit der musik nicht genug zu verdienen, um seine medizinische betreuung aufrecht zu erhalten, führte zu dem tragischen schritt.

limited repress. great atmospherical and deep space out techno. 180g vinyl in anti static sleeve.

walrus has no fear! by taking care of the maiden release on his newborn label “basic moves” he shows the spiritual direction and marks the blueprint for future offerings. the concept is simple: a 12” always has two different sides. one track on each side, each track a different mood. “full of feeling” resonates like the synthesis of an endless night encoded in washes of sounds. twisted, alienated vocal signals communicate in deep space to form a teasing, never-ending, spine-tingling groove. the weekend lingers on, the dream is not over. “among the thugs” is stripped down music for abandoned warehouses. a distorted vision of bleep techno and druggy chicago acid house hides deep in the quirky waves of this wobbly and moody crowd mover. the ghosts of after hours haunting sweaty warehouse clubs from the past seem to float over these excellent tracks. walrus refers to the best of all eras but forges his own unique stamp of modern dance music. underground clubs are where his music comes alive.

medea tells its story within a deep but powerful ambient soundscape that will make you dive into dark hypnotic psychedelia. don’t forget to wake up… inflict is a futuristic sub-bass heavy broken techno roller. driving but refined, full of subtle variations and intricate sound design where idm, jungle and electro unite. both tracks have been magnificently mastered by pole at scape mastering in berlin. from 2008-12 pierre serafini ran airflex labs, one of the first french labels to release uk inspired bass music, and since 2012 he has been producing and djing under his more techno and electro inspired moniker peev. throughout the varied steps of his career, his musicality and meticulous attention to detail have seen him forge multiple connections and alliances: notably through his work promoting his residency haste at lyon’s iconic le transbordeur. haste lasted over half a decade and brought multiple international artists from the post-dubstep and uk continuum to lyon, where they shared the stage with local artists, helping develop the environment that has seen lyon blossom as a scene in recent years. pierre has now been active as a dj and producer for over 15 years, sharing stages with the likes of autechre, blawan, mount kimbie, shackleton, umwelt, andy stott, plaid, hodge, lee gamble, pearson sound, objekt, call super, joy o, beneath, leif, and many more. in 2016, serafini released the highly anticipated “delia” ep, which was the first title on french stalwart oxyd’s new label intramuros. the fine blend of idm, industrial, techno and ambient music, refined over decades in his precise productions has made peev one of the most exciting contemporary artists in the renascent french scene.

takeshi fukushima aka takecha, gwm is one of the most important artist in 90s japanese house music scene. this ep was originally pressed only 100 in 1995 by his own gwm label. gwm is most known as the label where soichi terada had releases.

slow life catalog by primary perception, two blood brothers born and raised in the canary island, but living in berlin for the last years. it s in the german capital where they got to meet and support the slow life crew since their beginnings, and where they developed their fresh but matured sound shown on this their first album. -evidence of a primary perception- clearly has the trademark slow life character, combining broken beats, pads, acid bass lines, ambient passages, and overall, groovy deepness. they have more music coming soon in 2017, so as the label suggest: -they are here to stay!-.

!! 2018 repress !! flying high after their successful watergate 22 compilation, catz n dogz return to deliver eight exclusive tracks from their mix via two eps showcasing their expert ability to navigate a multitude of different styles. ep 1 commences with catz n dogz original fire burning when we are, a tune that sees them flying solo to create a stunning journey that lands somewhere sonically between carl craig and henrik schwarz where infectious drums reinforce an ensemble of dramatic harmonies tangling with euphoric melodies. afterglow follows suit with an attitude infused vocal from shaun j. wright laid over a trek into a world where old school vibes meet a new school plan of attack resulting in an absolute floor filler perfect for any time. rounding out the ep are remixes from two of the best: prosumer and sebo k. prosumer steps up first to rework fire burning when we ar’ and creates a massive tune with the signature prosumer touch, evident in the timelessness and maturity of the reimagining. sebo k in turn hands over a jackin remake of afterglow by staying true to the original by keeping everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
