pablo mandelbrot claims to be from bar harbor, maine on the north-eastern coast of the u.s.a. when asked about his upbringing he mentions various occupations including sardine canner and quota negotiator as well as hinting at some dark years spent working in the aqua-culture industry. about his music he says little, summing up his productions with the cryptic declaration: >disco is a deep sea<. we are not entirely sure where or when the two tracks on this 12inch were recorded and the only information from mandelbrot himself is that he has sometimes collaborated with the late conny plankton (who also engineered these two tracks), a legendary figure of the maine/nova scotia electronic music scene. pablo also insists that both tracks are >under exclusive license from lob-starr records<, although we have never heard of this label and their representatives have yet to contact us. we hope you enjoy these two slices of hypnoboogie disco, smoked, cured and de-boned for your convenience.

massimiliano pagliara is a producer who has quickly gained a reputation as a musician who can join the gaps between house, electronica and disco. his productions have already found their way onto respected labels such as eskimo, live at robert johnson, rush hour and now needwant. the original is an electronic disco work out featuring the talents of vocalist alessandro tartari. it harks back to the early italo analogue electronic era with a modern twist. on the instrumental it’s the machines do the talking with a scattering of guitar licks for seven minute electronic groover. originally from italy but now firmly based in berlin you can hear the influences of venues such as robert johnson or ostgut that massimiliano is a regular guest dj. the remix comes from celebrated low slung house hero mark e.

escape from new york >singles collection< contains the groups full discography. the group comprising of british record producers john falleti, mike whitford, nigel swanston & tim cox (who also recorded as airstrip-one) penned these two gems in the early 80s at a time when italo disco & new wave were the flavour of the day. >fire in my heart< needs little introduction, an incredible slow-mo balearic masterpiece with rapturous vocals. now worth a pretty penny this originally was released on uk rollerball records in 1984.

just who are the >agents of time< in the title of mathew jonsons debut solo album? is it a reference to futurism, or to the here and now? is it us, are we them?

go hiyama has always been a very interesting artist for me, ever since he emerged in 2002 on james ruskins coda label. both his musical & production style have changed a lot since then and i personally feel theres still no one out there who comes near to what he is doing. we planned on working together since a long time now and i am glad we finally made it work with this brilliant 4 tracker. no fillers. all 4 tracks have been tested thoroughly in my sets and always stood out as highlights.
no compromises on these fierce punishing drums, delivered by one of the most promising talents in techno the last years. hope you will enjoy playing these tracks as much as i do. (kr!z)

the phrase >tropical< is currently getting used to describe a lot of different music, some good, some bad, some ugly. to save on confusion senseless went out and travelled the world to find some music from the actual tropics, venezuela to be precise. somewhere buried deep in the mysterious rainforest, or possibly just in a studio in caracas, they found pocz and pacheko. it?s so near the equator maybe we can ditch the ?tropical bass? tag and go for something new, >equatorial bass< perhaps? maybe not. pacheko, francisco mejia, will be familiar to some for his solo releases on lo dubs, murder channel, seclusiasis and for his work with legendary venezualan expat cardopusher. his partner in bass pocz (carlos majoral) is a classically trained musician and production engineer. along with a select few others they run abstractor, a collective of producers, artists and designers, who promote parties, run a blog and do a fine job of representing bass music in venezuela pretty much solo. the collective includes graphic artist design or die who is responsible for the incredible artwork and pretty special video for >zarbak<.

fiction are a band who have been getting lots of love in the short time they have been together. their sound is hard-to-pin-down and idiosyncratic but that hasnt stopped 6music, artrocker and dummy all falling in love. comparisons? orange juice, adam and the ants and echo and the bunnymen with the intricacies of early foals.

butane is back on rrygular and he s not alone this time. he gets support from midnight who sweetens the deep butane sound with her vocals. minimal icon bruno pronsato takes the track to a level of timelessness that has no peer. and last but not least, dapayk forms a techno tool par exellence from midnights silky voice and butanes premium elements.

a1: >i want to love you< €rix big screen mix. – only available on vinyl – well… it is moody to say the least, it could/should remind you of a detective movie or perfume advertisement: perhaps both?
a2: tyree coopers extended dub reemix ( – only available on vinyl – ) takes a spin on his chicago/berlin base, pushing the periphery theory, >who cares as long as its jackin!< which tyrees reemix is doing right down to the summer vibe piano ho-down in the middle!

b2: reedo mix by the maertini brothers. the mix they rendered is pure love! laid back, with a variation on the vocal neither angie nor €ric were prepared for, listen closely to the bassline!

>testify< is the second single taken from boohgaloo zoos stunning self-titled debut album. u-gene goes all out on the vocals while the bassline and synth stabs are clearly in the business of tearing roofs off suckers. heavy 21st century funk! the remixes make sure that those who like to shake their behinds to something more up-tempo get with the program as well - soulphiction goes to work on the track not once but twice in a full-on boogie mix and one that is more on the minimal side, while hot chips joe goddard takes it to very late night club territories.

big with laurent garnier, elliot dodge, angel molina, andy vaz, tomaz,… self defence return with more almost perverted deepness on our 3rd release. after lopaaz, don williams and russ gabriel on the first releases, sdf now strikes back with belgiums franco cangellis superb >raw emotions< remix ep. the mixes got re-emotionalized by dan curtin and russ gabriel who both are no strangers the variable world of electronic music – one could call them pioneers and thats clearly demonstrated in the result of these outstanding tracks. deep, groovin, nicely textured detroit funk, a very round affair and dj crate must have being the result. russ gabriel of ferox fame, recorded for most of the major techno forces of the 90s: carl craigs planet-e, peacefrog records, djax-up- beats, gpr, force-inc, soma recordings, new electronica and dave clarkes magnetic north, while dan curtin walked his path in the us with his own label metamorphic recordings, and with his profile on the rise, he eventually caught the attention of peacefrog in the mid nineties…

played by: laurent garnier, dave angel, djulz, boris, trevor rockcliffe... no logo is a new, secretive project started by a group of producers who have between them released records on yore, rekids, moods & grooves and more. the label is purely about releasing quality underground beats

i know, i know… these tunes can really not be classified as house tools. martin beume, who also released the fabulous texgreen ep on outils, presents three unorthodox house tracks packed with the two winner components: weird melodies and mighty basslines. step right up! - the first cut on this release, gives you the feeling of being in a khole in the middle of a freak show carnival. catchy and odd melody snippets rotating diffusely on a never ending marching groove - absurdity in its most elegant form. slowly but steady – its a telling title! old school to the core, this track builds up steadily and adds layer for layer of jazzy samples until the tune is completed to an alluring dancefloor killer. flowing ribbon – what a lovely and sweet tune.

support by: christian smith, konrad black, joris voorn, timo maas, brothers vibe, josh wink, michael cleis, dominik eulberg, richie hawtin, rodriguez jr., wally lopez and many more, first up and delivering his take on the wonderful >chordy< is a young producer, cut from the same mold as babicz himself. a student on sonics, valencian, maetrik. staying true to the original, he adds a little grit and gives some teeth to already weighty bassline. spooky and expansive, but brilliant. taking the same track on groovy deep house ride is none other than 8bit head honcho and systematic regular, gorge. the mannheim producer, whos 2009 remix of chelonis r. jones >pompadour< is still a huge favourite, gives chordy a killer strut. matching the growling bassline and smooth as silk synths to fantastic effect. remixing >come closer< we are delighted to welcome the always in form, kollektiv turmstrasse, who turn in a remix that may surprise some. whilst keeping things deep as ever, kt take a more twisted, down tempo path

second release on jamie jones & lee fosss hot creations label is the first release by hot new talent robert james. a burgeoning producer, way ahead of his game who will soon be familiar for his insanely infectious music, not least for -sleep moods- his debut ep. -sleep moods- is the type of record that you never want to end. drilling into the mind with rattling bells, rolling bass and echoed calls of go deep… all night… no sleep. this is an unstoppable dancefloor gem, catching your attention from first listen and leaving you wanting more. as -sleep moods- breaks into its groove through haunting sirens and dark rave stabs that keep the energy levels stoked up, it leaves no doubt that robert james is an original and skilled new artist. on the flip -connected- is another explosive original, crackling with kickdrums and sharpened with supernatural synth stabs. in a similar vein to the sound of jamie jones, the hot creations label creator, you can see where these two producers have found common ground. completing the package, parisien house afficionado dyed soundorom takes on a remix of title track, -sleep moods-. producing a stripped back dubby version that works at any point of the night, a skill that dyed has become renowned for. dyed has been part of the freak n chic crew for many years and has also released on crosstown digital rebels, spectral, murmur and supplement facts.

anyone who ever has listened to a live performance or a record of illeist collective knows of the difficulty to describe the sound they come up with. some say its big beat, some say its rock, electro or dance music. and as always, the truth is somewhere in between, somewhere along the lines of bands such as soulwax, digitalism or friendly fire. and the best way to find out is to listen to their energy-loaded, genre transcending and - most importantly - uncompromising music.

a few times a year, a label releases a single that rocks the industry and the upcoming release from hidden recordings does just that. gregory shiff, who has also released off of such high caliber labels as stewart walkers persona label in berlin, produced the original and the label enlisted techno luminaries adultnapper, tony rohr and pheek, along with deepak sharma and dieter krause to add remixes to put together a five track monster that will, and should be in the crates of djs around the world for the rest of this year and beyond. the best part about the release? the remixers brought their a-game and put forth effort that has helped make them some of technos most revered producers and artists. simply put, all five tracks rock and will pound the dancefloor

detroits eric johnston who has already brought archipel a remix of marc neyen and an ep on kalimari now brings us a superb four track 12 inch entitled >silly girl<. this whole package is a highly rhythmic affair which while darkly tinted remains very funky. >stop calling me< is the most percussion oriented of the pieces and instantly sucks you into its very well thought out labyrinth of sky high rhythms which are layered just so and double dipped in liquid funk while >labrador< strips things down a little more and wraps you in blankets of warm and rubbery groove. >worth it< carries on with the perfect shuffle and utilizes a wonderful blend of warmth and funk which take hold of your mind and feet with an unrelenting grip while it ebbs and flows, building a heated story as it progresses. >munted< could be three pieces in and of itself but blends them all expertly into one single solid storyline which takes you through mazes of juicy percussion and excellently placed, darkly hued, very deep chords.

green could not have found a finer match. the melodic genius of ripperton is wonderfully sculpted by the uk producer, who delivers not one, but two remixes. part 1 sees radio slave taking leonor s lanugo on a deep, hypnotic workout. its warm, all encompassing bassline works brilliantly with its tribal drum line to deliver a deadly take on the original. on part 2 radio slave takes a housier direction. rock solid beats are interwoven with the original s beautiful string melody as bird calls and wild cats prowling add to the incredible suspense to create an inspiring remix.

release #6 for much loved label giegling is a return for kettenkarussell, who kickstarted this fine imprint with the >i believe you and me make love forever< ep. and >things will never flange< will find its place in our crates and hearts, too. pure, beautiful and melancholic deepness at its finest.

after dropping the first package (dj koze and affkt) last month, heres another set of splendid remixes for mathias kadens highly acclaimed album -studio 10-. the a side sees a remix by mathias long time friends, luna city express and matthias tanzmann, who reworked the 36 second disco interlude -roots- to a full length house hitter. on the b side -studio 10- collaborator florian schirmacher and his wareika project reworking -state of statsis- (featuring vocals from gjaezon). schirmacher manages to turn this detroit influenced tune into something crazy from outer space.. so get with

release #6 for ornate music brings us agnes with a deep ride through (acid)house country.
