its been three years since ghosts on tape (a.k.a. ryan merry) last released an ep of his own, and while the san francisco-based producer has remained busy on the remix front, many have likely missed the transformation hes undergone in the interim.

manmakemusics fifth release, a 10 inch vinyl-only ep, comes from u, the newest addition to the imprints expanding roster. unlike the labels first four outings that were aimed squarely at the dance floor, this record is a stranger and more pensive affair featuring 4 raw cuts of genre defiant electronica. opener >eah< borrows from 80s chicago house but strips out some of the more familiar tropes leaving just a guttural and infectious rhythm. >evil spirits< is a stuttering mournful piece while >haunted< flips a faintly recognisable sample over a shuffling 4x4 beat. the ep is rounded off with >heaven<, the most optimistic of the 4 tracks, and described by the artist as a warped homage to an idealised golden era of british dance music.

marvin & guy return to lets get lost with 2 superb reworkings. first up they visit arthur russell in a dusty acoustic space jam, while on the flip they enter more discofied proto house territory with bubbling acid tweeks, beckoning vocals and piano magic. closer to all your dreams.

wonder & amazement is a record ive had in various forms and incarnations from ex chicken lips members steve kotey & andy meecham for about a year now – a song that immediately grabbed me from the very first moment i heard it. reminiscent of days gone by mixed with a touch of the new - a song that contains a mixture of both the old classic and the new classic. ive been championing it for a while now either in sets or charts, even including it on a recent compilation i did. a record that we are proud to be able to use as a soundtrack to this new era of classic.

returning after some time off, two dogs in a house took to a secluded studio in stockholm sweden during spring 2012 to record while on the road. here we have the result of uninhibited access to machines with no time constraints and no distractions from the outside world. this freedom allowed the duo to expand upon their ideas of deconstructing conventional song structure and harnessing the power of what immediately surrounded them in the moment. two full side tracks that will absolutely crush and/or isolate anyone who crosses through the sonic pathway of them. perfect sounds for the apocalyptic world we live in.

superb deep house massives out of berlin from joe le bon hailing from finland. continental atmospherics with subtle chicago crunch sounds! >life is a bird< is a lush and beautiful deep house track, while >spring 64< with its repetitious percussion and a touch of dramatic strings develops into a 10 minutes long epic. as a bonus there is >drumbum< - a dub-vapored composition which recently appeared on pro-tezs >knights of the sad pattern< compilation and was previously unreleased on vinyl. limited to 300!

copy paste soul is a london based producer who makes warped yet warm deep house, which soothes the soul without missing a beat. over the last year this highly skilled artist has been making tunes to satisfy those wanting fresh sounds with a brittle edge and echoes of classic 90s dance music. the crossover appeal of tunes such as >want it< is obvious for all to hear and latest track >makes you feel good< does exactly what the title states.
with huge tunes like >84 vintage< and >so good< already under his belt, copy paste soul has an ever expanding army of fans in the dj community. annie mac called his productions gorgeous, while the legendary laurent garnier has been hammering these tunes in his set. tensnake and pearson sound are also big supporters and this moreish music has been played by skream & benga on their radio1 show and by brackles on rinse fm. this is only the beginning for copy paste soul, a producer who makes sounds of the future now…

young marco made a big impression to a new lot of listeners at the beginning of 2012 with his esp institute debut, nonono / darwin in bahia (played by dixon and james murphy amongst others). the young man from amsterdam now returns with a sister 12inch to his nonono, a perfectly complimentary piece of wax that maintains his esoteric stance on house music, and proves that hes no one-trick pony. video days blends marcos signature analog synth work with tribal rhythms and a loose sense of narrative, while the flipside later than u think takes a more cheeky approach, pairing a blissfully stabbing core melody with a mousey counter-melody and setting it all over some huge tom-heavy drum programming. these songs are the perfect close to a beautiful summer, whether youre lost in euphoria as the sun comes up, or simply dancing around your kitchen in the nude.

here we go again! after a while, cmc & silenta are back with 4 club bangers on the next feature breaks release. this is the next single from their forthcoming album >get it on now<. the club hymn >the night is mine< featuring badkat & vanessa iraci comes with two hot remixes from the well known funkanomics, dj aka and zamali.

already on the decks for a couple of years and a established regular dj at schwarzes schaf (the black sheep) in augsburg (along with daniel bortz), dominik marz now also shows his talent as a sensitive and highly talented producer. after his resent debut on leipzigs infamous o*rs label the >shmoozen ep< is his first release on pastamusik. leon holstein provided production support during the studio sessions. the tracks stand out with relaxed and at the same evermore deeply moving tone. while it sounds so effortless and easy, each of these three pieces contains a great deal of high tension that gets its audience inevitably into the mood to swing. dominik is on his way to provide lessons in creating lascivious beats and enchanting atmospheres which make us wait for his next emotional strikes

clft is taking another step into the techno scene, releasing the first record of its own label. a techno imprint as versatile as the french webzine, with a basic channel touch that will feed every mans complex musical attractions. italian producer kaelan impulses the labels debut with callout and void, two clean dubby tracks showing the producers ability in composing opaque and obsessive atmospheres. londoner fundamental interaction exploits a1s moody gesture while ben gibsons first ever remix takes on a progressive and groovier approach of a2. with the sympathies of: aubrey, albert van abbe, abdullah rashim, and, miles sergé, eric cloutier, lenny posso, unbalance, jeroen search, anthony shake shakir..

dope me / does caroline know? is a slightly clubbier affair-less sun ra and more soul capsule-but still possesses the air of strangeness that makes the duo so unique. each artist leaves his mark within the first few measure of dope me. the steady high-hats and flawless kick drum are straight out of dazes playbook, while the nervous piano and 3 chairs-style claps are unmistakably bruno. as for the slurred vocal pleading >dope me..dope me<, thats anyones guess. the track carries on for a solid nine minutes as half-melodies and quasi-hooks slide in and out of the mix. the b-side, does caroline know?, takes us deeper and darker. the drums are plodding, the mood is ominous, and a series of dreamlike flourishes add to an already eerie groove. like the a-side, its a surrealistic style of house that only these two could deliver. the artwork, as usual, is done by daze maxim.

nick sinna has been on the radars lately with his debut release for prime numbers pn13. sticking to the dark corners of the dance floor as of late, we have commissioned the spaced out bass child, conforce and spectrals secret weapon, jtc (aka dabrye) to add their touch with 2 remixes. conforce takes sinnas >real time< further down the worm hole, adding molten pressure to the percussion, and cutting up & reinforcing the vocal samples. while the acid warrior himself, jtc stays true to his roots on his rework of >voyager<, taking the edge off the snap and slicking the groove down to a more deep, melodic trip. pn13 has already received diverse support by the likes of ben klock, marcel dettman, dvs1 and mr. scruff.

wncl recordings enters the next phase of its release programme. having issued a neat collection of ten 10 inch singles, the label now launches a series of 4 track 12 inch eps. first up is a showcase featuring 4 new cuts by 4 of the labels cornerstone artists. l.a.s don froth comes out fighting with the hard-as-nails liftin weights, while milyoo from kentucky gets frantic on the raucous pancake. se27s own west norwood cassette library offers up what it is (mah vip), originally created for mz. hobbs radio 1 show. rounding things off from toronto, knowing looks gives us cytal fink, angular funk for all discerning discotheques. we hope you will enjoy our show.

ig cultures holy rollers label comes correct with two fiery, teched-out funky bombs from major notes. the >o beasity ep< is his debut on holy roller and one of the freshest funky 12 inches we have heard in 2012 - not watered down or some tepid attempt at house proper. >rokit< works out some killer tribalist polyrhythms and batty-squeezing bass pressure laced with shades-on synth beams on the a-side, up there with the likes of funkystepz or ill blu, while >o beasity< gets overlarge on the flip, wrangling martial snares, tribal calls and hard-bodied bass with the ruffest intent.

2 slamming tracks by label heads silent servant and santiago salazar with that classic historia y violencia formula! side a >mi alma< is a throbbing beast of a track with silent servants signature feedback sound underlying it all. while the drums pulsate along the track, the main synth modulates throughout working the dance floor to a techno frenzy. side b >corazon< is the perfect contrast! taking notes from the 313, salazar builds this track with vibes and strings to a uplifting detroit vibe that is his signature sound.

a best off all new things on the everpopular phobiq imprint by sasha carassi. the mechanized warfare of void opens up the release, with industrial snares taking front and center. meanwhile, the steamrolling groove never lets up and bleeding stabs lead the way to a subliminal riff that grows and mutates.the original mix of z-nasti makes strong use of ghostly chords while sonars fire away over tightly programmed drums.

blank code presents bcr002 - beta ep from the plant worker (also known as a. trebor), released on 12 inch vinyl with custom made silk screened jackets and available with an additional track found exclusively on the digital release. beta 01 represents merciless techno, with a pounding kick and unexpected drops that leave the listener gasping for breath. the luis flores remix introduces a subtle swing, making it more danceable than the original while still retaining the ominous tones imbued in the track by the plant worker. beta 02 stumbles in with anxious acid synths and urgent hi-hat patterns, slowly building to a massive climax. mysterious chimes wandering around the sonic space give a haunting feel to beta 03, the eery conclusion of the vinyl version of the release. the eps digital exclusive, beta 04, returns the listener to the original themes of beta 01 – open, reverberating bass accented by the sounds of echoing metallic decay.

hotly anticipated does not really do justice to the level of excitement the release of reptile youths debut album is generating among fans and critics alike. those in the know are expecting the danish duo to deliver a defining moment of 2012 - injecting their off kilter brand of highly-charged electro-punk-pop into the worlds consciousness - and reptile youth aren’t in the business of disappointing. reptile youth was formed by mads damsgaard kristiansen and esben valløe in 2009. it was their intense period of gigging through asia and europe that earned reptile youth their radically evangelical fan base, while also prompting a string of superlative-laden reviews hailing the youth as the saviors of rock n roll. hype aside, the incredible energy generated by kristiansen and valløe and their extended live line up have made the arrival of this debut album a red letter day for their clued up followers

there s only one thing that matches a new my love is underground 12 - a remastered pressing of one of the label s certified hits! paris underground trax volume 1 was one of the records that catapulted the french label into the spotlight - at the time produced anonymously, it later emerged that mr brawther was the man behind the four retro house cuts. it s a wonderful homage to the deeper strains of 90s new jersey, nyc underground and sexy thing remix still smack of kerri chandler at his most bumping, with fat pads, sultry vocals and gritty basslines. the b-side features uptempo gem hardcore deep house , while gtfo! glides along with warm, embracing chords. if you missed out first time round, don t make the same mistake again.

the one and only disco nihilist is moving forward.mike taylors second ep for running back is turning the curve ball of the first into a wild pitch (if baseball metaphors are your thing). 4 tracks across the disco nihilist spectrum: the rare cheerfulness of house rent boogie is backed up with a classic and no-nonsense rz-1 beat symphony that is aptly titled beatdown drums,while the flip presents the masked mania of film grain and some grumpy grittiness with operator select. mastered and cut in the us of a by legendary engineer mark richardson at prairie cat.

for our 40th release we are very pleased to welcome on deeply rooted house argentinas own jonas kopp (ostgut ton, curle, krill music, ear to ground, traut). this 4 tracks ep gives a good example of his diverse and still very defined techno recording skills. a side goes from the very straight forward and somehow mental reforce to the deep and abstract journey of proteus 81, while b side kicks of with the somehow balearic and positive green fingers to end up with the quest of light!
