breathing the air of late spring in rome, the climate is one of wonderful sunsets and open-air dance floors. this is the picture that attilio tucci and sergio picciaredda capture in their proverbial camera under the pseudonym camilla green, a continuing collaboration with wild cat, which started with altarboy of the album left below (wwr004.) the harmony between the line of 303 and the pad synth on lost love evokes intense emotions and opens up in a revolving way. the track >xo< emerges techno with the beauty of its essential components: the fast-paced beat, the hypnotic samples, the wise use of the acid sound that never sound noisy. the warm voice of wild cat in both the tracks will envelope you. let inhibitions go and dance. the higher powers say youll need to stock up on these beautiful pictures and memories of late spring to help you get through another cold winter.

mit >our disco is louder than yours< veröffentlicht das hamburger duo moonbootica sein drittes artist-album. und diesmal haben es kowesix und tobi tobsen wirklich spannend gemacht. ein in jeder beziehung sündhafter teaser sorgte bereits im vorfeld der veröffentlichung für ungläubiges staunen und grosse erwartungen. zu sehen sind unglaubliche bilder vom rande der gesellschaft: voll-tätowierte danger-seeker verlustieren sich mit ein paar gefährlichen liebschaften in einem setting, das sowohl raketentreibstoff als auch nutten-diesel verströmt, vermischt mit einem leichten odor von verbrannter plastiktüte. giftig aber unwiderstehlich.

thinking too much/where the helios is juk juks second release on nommos. thinking too much is the most direct juk juk release so far. its peak time fare, aimed squarely at the dancefloor. the dreamy intro will fool the unsuspecting, sucking them in and propelling them on a tripped out ride on a techno ghost train, buffered by a cushion of warm throbbing bass. where the helios is the real dream side. a floating, hallucinogenic, spaced out drift, driven by a crisp, pared back rhythm and a gorgeous, woozy vocal- led melody. juk juks first release for nommos was unwrap/fall and before that his debut, winter turn spring/frozen, was put out by kieran (four tet) hebden on his highly regarded text label. all juk juks output to date has been critically acclaimed, coverage including fact magazine, pitchfork, mix mag, abeano, the fader amongst others. his releases have also received significant club and radio plays including mainstream radio 1 support from admirers giles peterson and rob da bank, who has promised support for this release. four tet said the room went off when playing thinking too much at a recent event.

repress... spheras winter is getting hot. its even the sphera vinyl debut for simone tavazzi (trapez ltd, material, saved, 303lovers) who gets remixed by sleepless siwell and hector couto (rising music, brise, viva music).

for uzuri 018 we return to one of our home grown artists – jitterbug. time has flown since his last release for us in 2010, but we have been quite eager to get some new material out from him for a while – and, based on feedback we have had, plenty of other people are keen to hear more from him too. both his raw winter and beaten trax eps were pretty popular releases for us and his dj appearances always create a stir, so we are pleased to bring you this, the arcane theory ep. the track sequencing on this record is pretty aggressive – front-loaded with the confrontational rise of the machines. a track that really lives up to its title, sounding like the production line at cyberdyne systems… all stomp and evil synths, like a bad mood e-dancer. fallout couldnt be further from that – relaxed and making no attempt at all to get in your face. itll win you over, though. just a nice, deep groove and a lovely, phased beat. could play it for hours… the whole of the flip is devoted to nomads, a chiming, acidic wander. nearly eleven minutes in length. the kicks never at the fore on this one – most of the action occurs at the mid and high frequencies – a resonant 303, lots of hi hats and, later, synths which expand on the eastern-flavour of the track title

with negenuntwintig 3 companions will bring wonderful detroitish heralds of spring into the ostwind house. josh, e3 and ataneus, each of them in their very own way, are spreading so much warmth and energy, that even those who are deeply in love with winter will reach for their sound.. let the spring begin!

lando kal (a.k.a. antaeus roy), one half of bay area electro duo lazer sword, follows up maneuver, his 2011 debut for hotflush, with two cuts overflowing with the darkness of a long berlin winter. a major player in both san francisco and new yorks underground club scenes, landos love of r&b, dark jungle, detroit techno and classic house is front and center on these two bass heavy productions. the infectious rythym sektion comes on strong, lando expertly weaving the vocals of the 1991 rave classic hinted at in the title with threatening drums and kinetic percussion. on the flip, landos dynamism is on display, as inquisitions syncopated beats swagger along, insistent and knocking, drawing you into its multi-layered paranoid rhythms. lando kal has released on respected labels numbers, rush hour, sugarcane recordings, still cold, and has remixed the likes of sepalcure, hovatron, salva, sepalcure and doc daneeka. up ahead, lookout for a single dropping on leisure system, the notorious berghain party collective and label.

where the river turns black, is the first international album by copenhagenresident and musician katrine ottosen aka call me kat. call me kat are adorably intense and mesmerizing songs, an enchanting melancholic, almost translucent drift into this sonic world best described as alternative pop, music that gives spoken word of the ever expanding danish music scene of now. songs that adapt a fine line between organic instrumentation and that very specific sound of her voice, which although completely its own tends to remind at times on other playful ladies in music like bjørk, feist oder lykke li.earlier works with reknown producers valgeir sigurdsson (bjørk, mum, sigur rós etc.) or joe magistro (prophet omega) on the current album have certainly had their share on this.

jonny white & nitins no.19 music turns up the heat with an incredible four t track sampler that is certain to set things alight at this years winter music conference in miami… no.19 music needs little introduction at this stage, having risen from obscurity in a few short years to become one of the most talked about labels on the globe, with some of the hottest producers in dance music. to coincide with this years conference the no.19 team has put together a stunning sampler featuring four tracks from the labels artists and friends. the sampler kicks off with the superb slo-mo house of la cueva, jonny white & nitins first musical collaboration la cueva. next up is the irreseresible clockwork. they deliver an outstanding slice of deep and ominous house heaven in the heady thing you have. on the flip and jonny partner in art department and all around good egg, kenny glasgow delivers a cool and deadly retro house feast that will leave them dead in their tracks…outstanding! finally, soul clap, tanner ross and sergio santos in the guise of sect are remixed courtesy of london house don jozif, with a shuffling super-jam perfect of the burgeoning spring madness… enjoy!!

the young record label foul & sunk from zurich and freiburg im breisgau leaves the winter behind with > still in love<, an ep from the producer-duo paskal & urban absolutes. alexander kastner and adrian hoffmann, the heads behind it, have both opened their hearts and fell in love: they fell in love with steady house grooves, based on a powerful bass foundation, in love with warm tones that convey sensuality, as well as sensitive vocal loops and fragile percussion.

its been a full 12 inch months since luca bacchettis remix of david alvarados >klugh”<blazed its trail here on ovum. so what better way for us to ramp up the temperature in these cold winter months than to welcome our great friend back with his latest double-header. now residing in barcelona, the tuscan has enjoyed yet another successful year. whilst luca turned his hand to a&r ing and enjoying great success with the signings for his own hideout label, he also impressed again with his own work for the likes of wagon repair, defected and crosstown rebels. having opened the year with a serious slice of techno, luca leads ovum back to house as he presents two beautifully warm sun-drenched numbers. the bongo-heavy >on the moon with you < has us dreaming of summer as it bathes us in spine-tingling synths, beautiful melodies and dreamy vocals. from the balearic sounds of the title track to the african rhythms and inspirations of >high life<. high life is a track laden with vocal samples, and powered by its potent piano riff

next crossfrontier audio release by noone else than duererstuben. with their ambition to create music with mood, soul and character, they show us once again that electronic music can be so much more than white noise filled peak-time explosions. we are extremely happy to show you a different side of crossfrontier audio and welcome the young duo on board with their >shuffins deaf ep<. the perfect record for the last cold winter days, welcoming the spring with open arms.

domino feiert den 10. jahrestag der veröffentlichung des wegweisenden domino-debüts cold house der band mit einer neuveröffentlichung des albums als audiophile doppel-lp mit mp3 code. die band hood gründete sich 1990 in leeds und hat seitdem betörende und sehr spezielle musik auf neun alben und siebzehn singles veröffentlich, die die musikalische spielarten von post-rock über stark veränderte klaviermusik bis hin zu eiskalter electronica mit referenzen an talk talk und disco inferno abdeckt. die einflussreiche us-website pitchfork beschreibt hood als eine band, die diese art von ernsthafter innovativer musik macht von der die leute meinen, dass radiohead die speerspitze dieses genres sei, nur das hood weder wissen, noch im mindesten daran interessiert sind, dass sie diese speerspitze sind.

montreal-native tazz delivers new kanada three jacking and psychotic beat trax for an aggressive entry into 2012. tazz and bacanito unravel the threads of aggression in the lead cut >cosmic sex<. metallic heavy machine funk for those winter nights. >wanderer< is a late night ode to model 500, with waves of synths burrowing into the ground to produce a dark wave classic. cold, pure and supple. >mermaids and mermen< is is the tough club killer in the package. a deep tricky dub transforms into an underwater symphony of rusted hooks and fm pads… a serious lights out, head down burner.

great new ep by sven kegel (drehkontrolle) from m.m.a.d. / 10inch / terminal m / microtonal / plattenbau-music, brings some summer feelings into this cold winter!

its been a summer of glorious house music for ovum recordings, but those of you more tempted by the darker arts will be happy to find that label chief josh wink has chosen to heat up our winter months with a return to techno with a label debut from portugals, steve parker. over the last few years steves productions have seem him become a regular in the record boxes of the worlds best. his work for labels including quartz music, harthouse, synewave and sci+tec have established him as one of the most in demand dj/producers of his home nation.

joel boychuk aka hobo takes us on a tour of the iron triangle this winter, when the canadian producer releases his debut album on minus - a destination point for the techno artist whose very name embodies both the restless spirit of his productions and his journey from being one half of the former minus duo tractile, to being a recognized star performer in his own right.

samba inspired beats and an intense shot of acid chord stabs propel along a belching bass to create an intoxicating dance slammer.

mercury are on fire! their second e.p. is still hot in the boxes of djs like brodinski, deetron, round table knights, phonique and pedro winter. and they already come with a third one. they asked one of their favorite singers in house music to join them and the result is more than just a burner. mercury & robert owens >candlelight< is a deep burner that wont leave your head. its a super futuristic slow house jam with a tricky, unexpected beat and a harmonic change that makes you... lets say: cool down? remix ep and more tracks coming up soon. mercury currently cant miss. they are rollin...

winter is here meaning cold snaps, gritters, snowmen and of course, fina 006. the new record takes a different angle than previous releases, enlisting a few friends and local leeds gents to bring a cool little french-filtered number to the fina repertoire.

spheras winter is getting hot. its even the sphera vinyl debut for simone tavazzi (trapez ltd, material, saved, 303lovers) who gets remixed by sleepless siwell and hector couto (rising music, brise, viva music).

on brothers in loves first release, max k. gets right down to business introducing himself and this family project: booming kick drums, thumping toms side by side with sharp hi-hats and staccato claps. machine grooves with sounds as raw as the musical approach of the artist. >losing your cool< builds on a massive kick drum, with a tom groove shuffling the track. it develops into a late summer bloom, which is over as fast as this years berlin summer was – with piercing percussion to remind you that winter is already here! >overdrive<, the first track on the flip, starts as a heavy slow groover with thumping kick, crashing snare and acidic synth lines until a punishing hook enters knocking you upside the head. the second track on the b-side, >indulgence< comes disguised as a stepper with a raw, pulsating analog bass line, but reaches its apex with a whirling synth lead on top of a vocal that could never be classified as your ordinary preachapella.

limited and anonymous techno 12 inch on transparent vinyl. this is all the label has to say: violet like winter twilights. poison like raw madness. the first ep of this new imprint run by a mysterious man in a dungeon is the result of a powerful potion of neo-industrial techno and electronic rawness.

ales boek alias alex long delivers yet another fine ep filled with four hot peak time techno-house tunes for the cold winter days to come! he sure loves his chords and stabbs and has turned his style into his distinctive sound, that can easily cross the bridge between techno and house! but once again let the music speak for itself!

obsession is really the programmatic title of tobias olivers work of the last years. two years after his digital winter / summer release in 2009 and the human technology debut with his electro band datawelt, it is really a obsession of him, to bring out his first solo release on vinyl. if you listen to this record, you will be sure, that tobias oliver was born in a electro disco somewhere in this world. the analogy to the old school electro sound can not be ignored, when he reuses the drum and percussion sounds of well known drum machines of the past, combined with bass and synthlines, pads and strings of analog synthesizers from the past and the future - at the latest by then - you will think, that you are really out of space!

a summer special? in the winter? well yes, why not? the wph summer special 2010 is the stuff of discogs legends by now, so we figured wed do this again: a split label release between we play house recordings and lany recordings with very good music.

nico stojans last release on upon you was a collaboration with the cheapers. before that, he had his debut on uy together with pele. now, the former hip- hop producer, took the streets of spain all by himself and brought back an endotherm tech-house breeze to blow-dry our backstock catalogue and in wich we can preserve our summer memories in- for the cold days ahead. not only wants the namegiving a1 of the uy054 to dancingly dig itself into the sand-beach… eaven the b1 ttitle quiet now is wearing bikini-fashion. for those who like to withdrawel in the winter into steaming halls will be gratified by the remix from hektor. the born mexican which found his way through london into berlin is turning the focal point from quit now into the direction main stage and lets the base drop. for the digital delights in life: nicos track dusty fingers is ready to be downloaded- also a consequent techno-remix from meyerdierks.

2011 has seen a string of stellar releases from the dynamic force giving house music a new accessible heartbeat, mario & vidis. now, ahead of their album set for release in january, the >changed sampler< lands featuring a dub version of future classic anthem >changed< and three additional choice cuts. an apt advocate to the new age slow house sound they are making their own, mario & vidis will fully unveil their masterful debut album >changed< this coming winter but here lies a taste of both proceeding discs. a prelude to the wide musical terrain these lithuanian scene pioneers are striding through, the album sampler captures a glimpse of the epic soundscapes, hypnotic pop melodies and ghostly soul that ultimately leads into raw house on disc two.

approaching the end of the year, pole presents another spacey and heavy bass 12 inch. two melancholic, quiet tracks full of crackles and endless space, made for this winter. it seems that the warmth of these two tracks is glancing around a corner of a cold urban wall, just to say:s-o-o-n, and it will be summer again.in contrast to the first 12 inch waldgeschichten, with its use of full chords, this new production is marked by its use of spaces, which seems to expand until they collapse and enfold the listener. this is the second 12 inch by pole, one of a new series of releases which will end in a cd release in 2012.

>call me< is a welcome dose of precisely what we all need right now: a brilliant ray of sunny electro disco to warm up our winter dancefloors. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner has joined forces with fellow swedish house cat patrick l for a collaborative effort that offers a fresh, playful and breezy take on deep disco grooves. the dj nibc mix rides a languid summer afternoon tempo, accompanied by shimmering light beams and sweet synth chords, rising to a peak of uplifting strings and soulful vocals that weave around the tracks core retro melody. the patrick l mix gives the full polyphonic treatment, shifting the filtered strings to the intro, intensifying the bass, and using subtle punchy cut-ups in contrast with patricks crystal-clear vocal treatment. fellow swede tiger stripes completes the trio of countrymen, with a tiger stripes remix that moulds the track into an urgent dancefloor cut, emphasising an irresistible bass melody, a thudding kick drum, and classic house stabs of synths and voice. londons newest simmering hot creations signee funnels even more sunshine into his rework, as the crea albas lost soul remix splays out the the tracks high hats and fills all available spaces with arcs of retro synths and cosmic reverb.

the debut release from your mamas friend has already been making waves and with the dance press lavishing praise, backed by an impressive weight of dj support, marcin czubala s fresh new imprint has already made the brightest of starts. having taken the lead on 001, marcin now passes the baton to a duo that are currently taking the world of house music by storm, polish duo viadrina. konrad slazyk and mateusz kazula are the fresh-faced pair hailing from the banks of the river odra. having made a crushing impact with their debut release, the >better ep< earlier this year on pets recordings, viadrina have been working away tirelessly in the studio refining and polishing their sounds and skills. an endearing innocence can be heard in their music and their versatile, warm and uplifting style is immediately attractive to the ear. matching that aural lure with an impressive and mature use of bass has seen them create some of the smoothest and dare we say it, sexiest tracks of the year to date. making them a perfect addition to the your mamas friend roster. with a splash of r&b, a good slice of garage, 4/4 kick and a sprinkling of lullaby, title track >shining< is the most perfect of winter warmers. the cosy vibes continue on >luna<, with its beautiful vocal wrapped in the protective warmth of its bulbous bassline.

limited edition 10 inch release !! <br< in the dead of winter, i visited nico in his apartment in providence, rhode island. he had just finished composing >dont break my love<, the a-side of his new ep and his first song since space is only noise. he seemed solemn, but i didnt ask why. the next night, i witnessed a rare occurrence: nico dj-ed a small party. we danced all night in a brick-walled loft as snow fell outside...

debut album for the singer dominique dillon de byington aka dillon - she made a winding journey from brazil to berlin via cologne. dillon is inspired by billie holiday, jean-michel basquiat, jeff buckley, and highly recommeded by dj koze

the eraly years of a decade are good times for exploration, just like in 1993 when we (alex & sasa) first started working together. we rented a huge loft space on ave b & 2nd st. in the east village in manhattan. the winter was tough, we had 16 snow storms and due to a landlord who hated everybody, we had our heating turned off except for a few hours in the morning, sometimes not even that... the only way to stay warm was to wear hats, gloves and scarves the whole winter... but that was fine because nightlife was a lot of fun. there was a good club/party every night. right below where we lived was one of the best after hour clubs called >save the robots<. but one of my favourite parties was >sugar babes< which was at the cbgbs gallery space right next door to cbgbs, every monday night. the dj used to sample parts of the records he was mixing and then just play the loop of the sample and alongside was a drummer playing to it. it was really inspiring. so we wanted to go back to this idea of sound assembly and create a new series for us to work with called >skematics< its like a diagram or manual to help understand the interconnections between the odd parts we find and assemble, an imaginary manual for a new decade that has not been musically defined yet

dj t. gave us his fine album, the pleasure principle last winter. since then ts given controls to top producers for high grade remixes. this time daniel bortz, clockwork and dj t. himself take on >leavin me feat. khan<. jump right into things with the clockwork remix, a sweet blend of house-party amience and maintime club sensation. the rhythm alone could keep us dancing for hours, that mixed with the itchy bassline and arousing vocals, ensure that no one is feeling anything else. clockwork delivers a solid remix, more than worthy of >leavin me<. the b side shows daniel bortzs remix in full view. right away, a full beat pulling you into the rhythm, building to the entrancing chord play. the vocal lines give a sensual tone to the mix,. right at home in berlins watergate or a closing party on ibiza, this track carries us on, while the night hours fade to early morning. t.s > left with attitude mix< finds us in the deepest of nights, where flashing lights illuminate our ecstatic faces. heavy piano chords roll and the beat fades, pure sound. the kick brings us back to earth. t. meets us at the part when you realize you have found what you are looking for and all is right in the world

another superb love record filles with trancey atmospheres and epic breaks. this is one that will go off in the club at peak time. the a side is the ultimate banging club record that is both a very uplifting track and also a straight forward steamer. the flipside hot n old is a rather hard katy perry bootleg with a very mysterious intro that will leave you dazzled once the drums kick in. also this side is very atmospheric and trancey again. perfect for the winter, the roaring bass on this is enormous.
