our little dirt crew sub label spiel started out in late 2013 with three excellent releases, the first two by clancy featuring remixes by urulu and prins thomas followed by a stellar ep from mercury. after a hiatus spiel is back for 2016.

die köpfe hinter dem aufregenden, neuen electro-projekt polynation sind die beiden in amsterdam beheimateten musiker stijn hosman und hessel stuut. deren markenzeichen: trommeln und analoge bässe mit techno, ambient und weltmusik zu einem stimmungsvoll-mitreißenden ganzen zu verschmelzen. und das am liebsten live auf der bühne. doch obwohl polynation vorrangig als live-act gedacht ist, haben sich die beiden niederländer nun zur veröffentlichung einer 12 inch entschlossen. die debüt-ep *allogamiy* fasst sechs energetische tracks, welche die ganze bandbreite des duos widerspiegeln. während *damp* mit einem fetten bass sanft durch downtempo-gefilde tuckert, ist *why you pt ii* genau der track, der den dancefloor auf dem höhepunkt der nacht zum Überkochen bringt.

following the recent acclaimed release of his “space” lp, on which bruno “patchworks” hovart transformed himself into patchworks galactic project for a fantastic musical trip, favorite recordings proudly presents this new 2 tracks remix ep. on the a side, rising uk producer ny*ak provides a blowing version of “surrounded by the gobblins”. what do the letters stand for? why the asterisk?” you ask. the origin of the asterisk has something to do with donating dates of birth on family trees, from back in the medieval times. in music, an asterisk denotes when a sustain pedal should be lifted. ny – new york? ak – alaska? is it something to do with the three stooges? nyak nyak nyak… it leaves the mind thirsty for answers... in reality andrew scott, the man behind ny*ak, banged his computer keyboard in frustration one day – and out came ny*ak. if that’s taken the shine off it a little, we’re not worried. listen to any of andrews tracks and we guarantee you’ll be drawn straight back in, but this time – deeper. for the b side, underground house producer kool vibe also delivers a brilliant rendition of “gobblins are gone”. producer & owner of kv records (paris), record collector since 1993, and definitely part of the new deep house music scene that is emerging from france at the moment, laurent, aka kool vibe, was born in paris in 1970. kool vibe s music reflects the best of the 90s house music sound that he manages to love so much. in 2011 and 2012, his first releases have been cult tracks out on “my love is underground” and “traxx underground” imprints.

zackey force funk was born into this wild world in tucson, az in 1974. in and out of prison since the age of 17, zff began producing on pirated software his brother gave to him once he had given up a life of crime to focus on writing tunes and raising his family. first discovered by kutmah back in the golden era of myspace, zackey’s signature “force funk sound” swiftly grabbed the attention of a number of formidable producers. as these tunes were scattered across various labels, finding their homes on their respective collaborator’s projects, zff continued to hone his style, delving deeper into the psychedelic future funk realm of which he has created for himself. the fruits of his discipline all add up to “electron don” hnr52 a 15-track collection of early productions that serves as the initial transmission of a fantastical mind that has many more stories to tell. “electron don” gathers together various unreleased and classic tracks recorded by zackey force funk circa 2009-2011 in tucson, az. included here are a treasure-trove of classic productions by the electron don himself, as well as tracks by luminaries salva, mike gao, lorn, jellphonic, cupp cave, crimekillz, mark lowe and paolo xz.

borrowed identity, the man who makes music non stop, when not travelling the world! borrowed identity, the man who lives in the geman black forest, maybe thats why his music sounds so black! borrowed identity, the man who already released two superb eps on quintessentials and wont stop! borrowed identity, the man who enjoys nature as much as playing techno, house or disco!

vinyl only, a soulful & rough house-killer-4-track-ep by les finest lootbeg including an -as deep as possible- slowed down version by jan ketel. thanx for that!

for this new “edits” issue, we are introducing rutes from london, a great digger and dj we met in 2014 at camp cosmic (sweden). he proposed us a bunch of really great cuts, and we’ve chosen those five to make a very special record. from exotic esoteric dance, to sleazy new wave, on to brutal minimal synth weapon, dubby horny post punk, climaxing on the most lovely musical nugget. we love this record so much, hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

special occasion are david c. gray and enchante. together they make music for the early lonely mornings between the sheets. on the b-side you find the tear drenched versions of maxxxbass of kwc 92.

privacy has released well-received records with labels like lobster theremin and klasse wrecks. now he thinks its a good idea to enlist with the ranks of determined weirdos over at valcrond video. why? the valcrond offices are replete with alluring snacks. cornucopia-level amounts of treats, both sweet and salty.

mikkel metal was the first artist on echocord, and the main reason why the label was started back then. after many many releases we are very happy and proud that he now returns with a full lenght album. more than 7 years after his last long-player album mikkel metal returns with a new album for echocord. bypassing dub-techno as the starting point, this is music clearly consistent with earlier output. we are presented with 10 tracks that all evolve with around a melancholic melodic framework. while there is clearly a nod to detroit and another to dub- techno, the overall impression is consistently and unmistakably the sound of mikkel metal. a hypnotic, very enjoyable and thorough return from the danish artist.

releasing an album is a daunting task, especially in dance music. you got to keep it fresh and exciting from the very beginning until the last track, not sticking to one tempo, make tracks that work both at home and in the club and ultimately tell a story with your music. alexander lay-far knows a thing or two about this, having his debut album so many ways out back in 2013. the thing with lay-far and a big reason why we ve always had a soft spot for him is his way of incorporating a certain magic in the tracks that leaves you on an uplifting and optimistic note. therefore we re really excited to release his second album, how i communicate, on local talk. how i communicate is a two part vinyl release which we hope will come as a fresh breeze in these days where so much dance music simply lacks the actual musical aspect or the organic approach. like most producers and djs that are influenced by soul, disco, jazz and the blacker side of electronic dance music its all about the actual tune . listening (or dancing) through this album we hope you ll find your special tune (or tunes!) that hopefully will bring joy to your ears. to his aid lay-far has invited an impressive cast of collaborators such as ashley beedle & darren morris, restless soul, sean mccabe & mark de clive-lowe to give the tracks that little extra something under the watchful eye of lay-far himself. or as lay-far describes it himself the album is about the music as the universal language, the ultimate means of communication, bringing people of the world together. part 2 will be released in the new year...

hey everyone – so we re back again finally with number 5. it s taken us ages but expect a slew of 12- releases from us this year. the big news for stores is that we ve gone vinyl only. our reason is simple - we love digging and label honcho the mole only dj s vinyl so why not follow our passion! maybe tomorrow is starting the year off with a doozy from one of the most knowledged disco guru s on earth – koosh. this amazing dude has been keeping canada s west coast edits scene strong and free for many moons. the heads should know him thanks to his releases on cult labels such as common edits, red motorbike and his own 7 inches of love. what you get here are 2 prime cuts that we guarantee to bring the sunshine to any dance floor and a bonus fx ripper to melt minds.

the girl and the chameleon will probably fall under the genre tags of acid, electro and techno but it is so much more. witschkowski has been responsible for exemplary electronics throughout his career and this latest is undeniably some of his best. the album sees the exaltics don a dust mask. warehouse parties, strobe lights and fog machines and the 90s underground acid scene are definite influences. but theres more. across thirteen tracks and two slabs of wax the jena artist takes you on a journey into his world. gnarled and clinical grooves, caustic 303 encounters, depraved dancefloor destroyers and soothing machine music. a sonic trek through tough and taut textures with touches of tenderness. an album that shows a depth of ability, an enviable talent and a knowledge of how to break floorboards.

hitting you like the soundtrack to some wonderful film you will never see, the depth and emotion of the sound of farbror resande mac will take your breathe away. they have crafted a wonderful ep for back to the balearics, which offers the listener a refreshing break from the norms of electronic music making. across the 5 tracks they cover a variety of moods and themes with great technical skill and top class production values, while creating musical patterns that conjure up images of star studded scandinavian skies, balearic sunsets and the buzz of great cities at night. so why not step off the musical beaten track with farbror resande mac on back to the balearics? you wont regret taking the wander.

as far as defying conventions goes, frits is on a whole new level of realness. with his new label bobby donny, hes putting out leftfield electronic music with a big f.y. attitude and hes not too shy to tell you why the current state of the house scene is so utterly boring to him.

*god is a dj* - need we say more? on sunday 8pm, maxi jazzs reverent flow managed to produce -god is a dj-, not just a dance anthem, but a hymn of majestic proportions. sunday 8pm is a prime example of dance music at the peak of its popularity, but dont let nostalgia fool you, this album still stands today even in one of the most changing and evolving music genres we know.

close to the days of the days, when the maya calendar will come to an end and somthing special is waiting for human beeing, two smart fellas from berlin are contrebuting this happening with the so called popocatepetl ep. popocatepetl is a yet sleeping massive vulcano in mexico, who just recently rumbled to life. it looks like this ep will come up with the same energy and power. four tracks with many statements and diversity and still homogeneous in their substance. to find an own style and esspecialy an own sound is what the two try to push to the fore. if we compare this release to their last successful released track on tonkind schmalwild, we hear this major line, where a transperent empathy is to find. kotelett & zadak, showing on this ep their ability to creat dance music with a certain flow and groove which makes you feel aloof and hot but still laid-back and relaxed. it just shows their own temper and shows us why, this two guys are one of the most beloved djs in berlins underground scene. its their personal spirit what comes up in the music, that makes this release sound so authentic. hopefully people will notice, yet even without any dramatic fireworks, popo has the power to wreak havoc.

we’re finishing 2015 with what is pretty much a mini lp by borrowed identity, an inspired producer based in freiburg. there’s a lot here and we think you should just listen to and enjoy the record, draw your own conclusions, but what we will say here is the a is ballsy house and the b is tough techno that touches on trance occasionally. get why it’s called the contrast?

second release on lan comes from willis himself. delivering three cuts of peaktime ordnance, the bordeaux native shows just why he was picked up by nous disques for a split ep alongside berceuse heroique. immersive opener ›expecting myself‹ juxtaposes waif-like electronics against the lo-fi percussive elements. gradually unfurling as the track progresses, the undulating synth swells coax the listener in while the punchy framework bumps along underneath.

since it was very hard to grow musically or in any other artistic way in regard of our surroundings, we always had a need to find inspiration somewhere else. things that were a given for some were far fetched and hard to come by. a distant dream. that s why we decided to go forward. a final push to reach the place we wanted to be. a place we can call home.

krl returns to wolf music after a production hiatus. the ep contains four krl dancefloor cuts and three skits that tap into his hip hop roots.

following up the fantastic summer re-release of upsetting keys “empathy” ep, path records follows with its first new catalogue number since 2006. path 008 marks the return of artist fate 258, whose 1999 “why 2k” path 001 ep has been a hotly sought after item on discogs. the three-track ep contains two exciting new mixes of cult classic techno track “the path”. the a-side version “path to hell” is the harder of the pair, a dark edgy journey into the unknown with shuffling 808 rhythms providing much of the melody. “path to heaven” slows the groove down and adds warm juno pads throughout the mix for a very deep detroit flavored techno style. on the final track “heaven or hell” sort of a broken beat downtempo piece, sparse vocals and bladerunner samples mix to complete the dystopian concept. these mixes of “the path” are considered pre-mixes, as they were completed in 1998 before the original release of path 001. fate 258 is a project from brooklyn producer reade truth, known for his work over the last decades on labels such as planet e, sonic groove, n-syde, wurst and strictly rhythm to name a few. limited to 250 worldwide, with the first 100 including full black and white cover art.

having issued a mini album from fuxa earlier this year, stuart leaths tireless emotional response welcomes the detroit band back to the label with an album recorded alongside neil mackay of loop fame. apollo soyuz was originally released digitally earlier this year via bandcamp, but you can see why leath would want to license it for a proper vinyl edition. the eight tracks form an exploration of the outer cosmos that is tinged with a deep psychedelia that will resonate warmly with fans of emotional response. from the space funk of the opening apollo soyuz, fuxa and mackay lead the listener through galactic kosmische, spatial ambience and primal tape loop experiments and more with testz 1 a considered highlight.
