safeword is an exciting new act comprising of 2 dedicated us-based producers, clint stewart and marc smith. their low slung, warm and sexy sound already gave way to one ep on paso music and now we find them really hitting their stride with their debut for dessous. lead track >you can you will< introduces us to safeword s world, a sleazy, percussive and intricate gel of textures, flavours and audio fetishes. punchy, bright production characterises this modern house jam. the eventual arrival of a deep and spritual melody is surprising and instantly turns the snaking drum tool of the introductory minutes into an anthemic, autumnal beauty. leading dessous and poker flat man phonique turns his hand to the title track with a cheeky, energetic remix. aimed at the floor we find a more uptempo groove at the heart of his mesmerising tech-house re-work. the soft bell tones floating throughout >tangent< are perfectly melancholic, while tough driving beats urge us forward, making the perfect partnership bewteen cinematic sound design and bass-heavy floor dynamics.

300 handnumbered limited vinyl copies only. no digital distribution. our new tracks from tangula, featuring the track >jebisu<, played by derrick may on his bbc radio 6 mix, which was supposed to be released on transmat. >the gorbals (endtime mix)< and >disaster strikes< are clearly for the dancefloor and have a driving force, whilst retaining emotional and deep facets. >imbalance< is a dark brooding techno track that is reminiscent of early 90s uk intelligent techno such as stasis, b12 or black dog. expect some sinister synth stabs and chords with sparse melodic elements. clearly a track for the forward thinking djs out there. last but not least >jebisu< finishes off this release with functional percussive elements and deep detroit techno inspired melodic synth work

after the success leonid neverminds light is here ep, we invited a few artists to reinterpret and reshape leonids work. first up is dutch duo duijn & douglas, who already released on nowar, who took on thymus stimulator and turned it into a deep and funky time bomb. very basic and strongly efficient grooves layered with riffs and counter-riffs, making you hooked instantly. a wonderful hip-shaker! on the flipside detroits kris wadsworth, with solid releases on nrk and boe recordings, applied a more machine funk approach turning feel into a deep jack workout with leonids original dreamy sounds enveloping kriss rawness. finally miles sagnia, whose releases on his own atmospheric existence and aesthetic audio prove to be timeless gems, also combined the raw and the soulful. a true deep house gem with funky basslines, straightforward beats and a sweet deep almost detroit techy vibe.

during a stay in munich anthony shake shakir heard a demo version of the song >hammering< and was so thrilled by it, that he decided he wanted to release it on his own label frictional.
striking about the 12-inch is the way it was done. the basement is the track >hammering<, a techno track that uses a sample of a work song from an historical recording dating from the 1930s. the swinging-souly voices are combined with a clear and funky beat that pushes you forward, and you wont forget the voice for a long time, even after the track has been listened to multiple times.after that anthony shake shakir created a remix that afterwards was again remixed by splits & slits.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

after a handful of smashing remixes and compilation features on nang records, lusty zanzibar returns to the fold with a cracking solo effort named the >the feeling ep.< title track is a spaced out exercise in immersive square-wave programming, reminiscent of the pre-internet computer gaming age when colours were 8-bit and vivid, and soundtracks were hyper-colour opuses. the complex synth work is underpinned by a driving beat with ethereal vocal wisps and crystalline pads. nice. the first of three remixes for >the feeling< comes from ilya santana, with his >celestial version<, and celestial it is indeed! a picturesque scene is set, the rhythm is wound back and a super laid back vibe allows the vocal line >remember how you are feeling< to sit more purposefully in the mix, alongside the tip-toeing bass line and often euphoric chords. up next comes the max essa dub version, introducing some arp-synth subtleties, replacing the main vocal hook to great effect. to finish we have a mix from fear of theydon who brings a touch of arpeggiated femininity and tasteful woodblock percussion to the table. its a fulfilling yet sultry up-beat journey.

first of three parts of the first wurst compilation with 10 new exclusive tracks alltogether. part i boasts new york upstarts soho808, lisbon legend tiago, merc alum chicago damn, and new jersey outliers pink stallone. following appearances on soul claps social experiment 002 mix on no. 19 and jamie jones fabric 59 mix, soho808 land on wurst with >reach< feat. safiyah, easily their most accomplished work to date, fusing their now-patented slow house sound with a little of the citys r&b swagger. pink stallone hooks up with strictly rhythm alum joey washington on >help yourself<, a ridiculously nasty slice of future funk. tiago gives >peanuts not working< his i am the automan treatment, channeling the 80s cosmic sound for a driving dancefloor workout. rounding out the ep is chicago damns >romcom<, a smoky, subdued number, hinting at detroits beatdown sound with the mans now signature mpc moves.

on their last album franz and jakob aka format b were to be found covered in soot and coal, firing up the engines of the dance locomotive, now they have gone greener and swapped over to wind power and are fishing the >restless< oceans of the world. tirelessly the two sailors work on the deck disregarding the cold and the weather, pulling in the nets filled with floundering hits. this time they have spiced up the bait with the amazing voice of fran on >liquid< who turns into a working class siren and manages to rock the boat properly with track 2. keeping with the maritime theme the boys have used a harmonica on >socks and sandals< and a piano on >piano man<. classic format b can be found on >atomizer< and >oversexed< … kicking man high bass beats to thrill the four quarter beat fans, and >biker meth< is going to keep you dancing till noon (at least). even with the pressures of jet setting, label management, party organisation, building a studio, and the romantic needs of their girlfriends they have still managed to finish their first formatik album to their complete satisfaction and are extremely proud to present the first artist album on formatik records. ahoi and enjoy people!

chicago legend robert owens teams up with tevo howard!?! words from tevo: >i had the opportunity to correspond with the great robert owens some time last year, and we were able to shed light on a project together. i cannot tell how much of an honor it is to work with such a great predecessor, and to continue the tradition of the celebration of chicago house music. here, we have featured 2 moody original versions, and 2 exciting remixes. together they comprise a 4 track single. robert and i hope that youll join this celebration.< t.h.

lando is known for teaming up with low limit as lazer sword, a future hip-hop from group from the bay area. his solo tracks are freaked out juggernauts of electronic music, primarily experimenting with various mutations of house. dense instrumentation, analog synth and drum machine work, complex melodies, and creeping basslines are pooled from his musical obsessions with 90s rnb, classic house, freestyle, garage, detroit techno, early synthesizer music, timbaland, and… to be honest, everything in between.
>maneuver< is a sure shot banger, a futuristic synth piece with heavy garage leanings and even a hint of robin s classic >show me love<. on the flip we find >run it<, a more introvert electro fused b-boy classic from future times.

the sixth release on the excellent parisian imprint my love is underground comes from inner sense - aka french producer henri fontaine - who serves up only his second ever solo release (his first was back in 2006!) sprawled across the a-side you will find >lowdown<, a jam that brings to mind the output of new york house dons masters at work (indeed look closely at the centre of this record and you will see the totally appropriate inscribing >1993 forever<). swirling chords combine with a thumping kick, stuttering keys and, of course, a killer vocal wail for a slice of what can only be described as proper house music. >wanna dub with u< opens proceedings on the flip with the kind of thumping bass drum and funk-infused skipping hats that would make it a snug fit in the kerri chandler back catalogue and, again, the vocals are absolutely gorgeous. finally, >rawllin< wraps up the ep on a more stripped back yet equally groovy tip. limited to 500 copies on rather fetching 180g orange vinyl - essential.

edit king leo zero returns with something very special to kick off a new run of no frills dancefloor bombs that have been tried and tested over the summer on a packed worldwide dj schedule from stockholm to tokyo and beyond. first up is an intensive slice and dice exercise on probably the best track from definitely the best band in the world: the clash. leo takes their most disco friendly outing >the maginificent dance< famously spun by mr levan at the garage - and with the more dubby rare levan version he homes in on looped 1 bar sections, skating along to create a new arrangement - added to the brew are bootleg recordings form the clashes infamous live show at nycs bonds ballroom, and even some baseline demos digitally siphoned from people practicing guitar along to the clash on youtube!….. we are left with is an epic labour of love edit that has already found its way into the a-listers record boxes - from derrick carter to laurent garnier who are all spinning this solid as a rock dub disco bomb. on the flip we have a classy house re-work of al hudson & partners >music< which sticks a chi-town kick and snare up its rear end along with some serious sub bass, and in the middle things get all wobbly with some trademark leo zero space echo rides and before we are quickly warped back-in and onto the floor… big with a load of top jocks too including severino of horse meat disco fame.

italian producer simone fedi, hailing from tuscany, takes things to a whole new level on this third release on eskimo recordings. >bitter devotion< is a vocal pop gem with a balearic tinge, but its bittersweet vocals and the addictive melody will haunt you. for this tune fedi, a multi-instrumentalist with a knack for pop music and a soft spot for vintage gear, joined forces with a mysterious singer named lola rent, and this turns out to be a winning team.
bitter devotion comes with a rather spectacular remix package, ewan pearson (known from his remix work for goldfrapp, chemical brothers, hot chip, moby, franz ferdinand and depeche mode to name a few) gave it the royal treatment. as an additional treat, welcome stranger aka thomas bullock (rub n tug, laughing light of plenty, map of africa, whatever we want records) has indulged in a psychedelic >bitter devotion< dub, analogue and live... just the way we like it.

there is a fantastic quality to gavin russoms work, an otherworldliness that is subtle yet palpable. its heard-or felt, more precisely-in all of his projects, including the crystal ark, black meteoric star and his numerous recordings with delia gonzalez. all of russoms sonic astral projections, with their textures and atmospheric layers, demonstrate his astounding production skills and modular wizardry. as dfas studio engineer, he was entrusted with the hefty task of maintaining the labels analog stockade. russom has built custom gear for the likes of james murphy, black dice and holy ghost!, has remixed artists including juan maclean, cut copy and caribou, and filled out the wonderful music of lcd soundsystem. so its no wonder that russoms newest solo outing, night sky, reflects the talent and experience accrued in all those roles with both stunning precision and audible clarity. add patience to the above list as well.

this ep was formed with a concept in mind that involves a natural phenomenon occurring in various / different fields of science and nature - anti-parallelism. as the word suggests, anti-parallelism describes the natural relationship between two occurrences, objects or even non-material things, that are virtually identical and yet oriented in different directions. during the time the music was made i was researching natural phenomenons like this one. naturally, this became part of the nucleus, fabric and inspiration for this work. in genetics, for example, if the >antiparallelity< is corrupted during the process of dna replication it is called a mutation. this mutation can be anything from totally inconsequential to critical for the survival of the whole living organism. a double helix of dna contains two helixes, that are naturally anti-parallel to one another. in physics this could be two of the same objects moving through space and time in opposite directions - just like the instruments or parts of a beat in electronic music production. so metaphorically speaking, anti-parallelism holds a natural balance to keep it safe and stable. although this might sound all very conceptual and theoretical this music is obviously just what it is - it is not intended to teach math, physics or biology in any way. the above mentioned aspect has simply found its way through my head and might have led to a piece of music that somehow, at least for me, is connected to these thoughts. it might evoke something very different for you

over the last nine years, the resopal crew has written another chapter of the german tech house book. with releases by d. diggler, robag wruhme or by shooting stars like paul ritch and johannes heil, resopal has celebrated some of the biggest records from 2001 to 2011. in this spirit... we feel the bassline by talented berlin young producer michael knop. his body of work, weak chin ep needs no introduction. he applies his excellence with searing modern techno beats tweaked with a barrage of sound effects and topped off with a subtle futuristic rave complexity. three tracks on vinyl that are nothing less than groundbreaking.

dorninger (who has chosen the prickly project-name >dorn< which means >thorn< in english) gets presented on this vinyl in his proven quality as an accomplished sound-explorer all across electronic soundscapes. you will find a range from dance-tracks containing fluffy breakbeats, psychotically screwed basses and flogging electric shocks (hard timz, my little synthpopinferno, la batteria della noce) to the point of impulsive (no) wave rave (crying) as well as nervous chill-in-grooves (night oh night). due to the fact that an album-cover provides space for 2x30x30cm art it is more than obvious that houztekk came in touch with the vienna based artist julie monaco as the houztekk crew admired her work since a certain period of time. as well this was the reason that maximilian m. contacted julie monaco telling her that a record which perfectly corresponds with her graphics is in planning.

mosso is an intimate project, born out of the natural desire to present ones work in ones own home. it is a private space in which the artist picks and displays his own favored pieces, enabling an unconstrained and harmonious blend to unfold.alejandro grew up in mendoza, argentina, and has been producing electronic music for over 10 years. following the use of various aliases, funzion being the most celebrated one, he decided to pursue his experiments under his real name. this was a simple decision, made possible through his creation becoming the honest rendition of his very inspiration. alejandro mossos music is the humble exploration of the ample musical heritage our planet has to offer, side by side with an ever-expanding and personal definition of the electronic medium. the first record inaugurating this series stands as the perfect example for his intent, bringing melodies and instruments of the world together with sophisticated technique. instantly awakening the soul, ohrwurm and caracoles come together to form one giant leap of optimism. indeed, alejandro mossos tracks build into a sheer heartening experience. as a shamanmesmerizing his attendance, alejandro brings the listener along into his own reverie, temporarily suspending time and filling space with wonder.

mark es >call me< finally gets released via merc this september. ever since its appearance on the mark e beats in space mix nearly a year ago it has remained a must have track and appeared in faiths top 10 tracks of 2010 without seeing the light of day. staying true to an original >house< aesthetic, call me merges a relentless bass line with soaring strings and an organ build de lacey would be proud of, combined with a spoken female vocal this is destined to be a future classic. dixon and tensnake appear for remix duties, dixon turns out a sublime re-work, tightening the feel in true innervisions fashion, whilst tensnake creates a genre defining remix that turns the track on its head and introduces 2 step garage attitude. mark e + dixon + tensnake = huge 12inch !

mr raoul k and baobab secret take the next step and put out new remixes of >le karantkatrieme peul<. prisme are a belgian duo (nicolas pepinster and yves theys) who started to produce their own material in 2010. they liked the title track so much that they remixed it and sent the result to mr raoul k who instantly fell in love with the melodic and laid back approach they took on it. this lush piece makes a perfect entry into a long night out, promising that every piece will fall into place. the other production crew featured on this release are the iklawa brothers (mzwandile nxasana and sandile magwaza) who run their own label in durban, south africa. they are big fans of mr raoul ks work and have been dropping his tunes in their sets on a regular basis. their remix is a dark, afrobeat driven tune that takes the listener on a long trip into a gloomy world full of surprising musical twists, dramatic changes of mood and impressing string sounds. the last remix is done by mr raoul k himself. he shows a new side of his musical skills. resulting in an epic track that seems to dance on tiptoes around a giant beast. one small step. hesitate. check carefully what happens. do not disturb. just watch in astonishment how it slowly awakes and stretches out to its full glory. a track that is full of hope, but reminds us to keep our feet to the ground to provide a solid stand.

raoul records is very happy to welcome liviu groza for the fourth release of the label. after his china charm ep on cityfox just before this summer, he is back with 3 tracks that fit perfectly with the sound of the label. it certainly has something to do with house and techno, but livius personal touch is quickly modifying our expectations, for the pleasure of our ears. there is an authentic energy in livius work and the a-side track >no love< is a perfect example of that. what starts with a typical filtered techno loop is suddenly brought to another level with a huge melodic bass line and then with two chords that enlight the track with a certain melancholy. the b-side starts with another killer bass line. >the manimals< bass line is a snake that enrolls its body around every other element: a great house groove and an hypnotic piano. liviu is a snake charmer! the 3rd track >mean fine< seems to be the perfect b2 track. what sounds rather quiet and reduced when you first listen to it, turns itself into an efficient old school dj tool with such groovy hats and hypontic vocals once played on a proper sound system!

so, your bowels have just about started functioning properly and the world has finally stopped vibrating after the last bass onslaught from the sludge camp. its going to require gonads of steel to whack up the volume on this latest beast, but we know you never lost your hardcore. nevertheless, as we are a caring bunch at sludge hq, we feel obliged to warn in advance that this latest slab of dubstep pressure from trick or treat is the sort of big tuna that might leave some needing a job lot of nappies and a year off work to recover.

frijsfo beats come with the biggest yet in their series of vinyl eps, compiling new work from cardopusher, desto, geiom, and submerse, assembled with the labels distinctive ear, tuned to wilder mutations of garage, techno soul, footwork, and dubstep.

london based james what is a well known musician treading the more left-field and creative end of the tech house spectrum. his numerous eps alongside dan berkson have become poker flat classics in recent years and so we are happy to welcome him in his first solo effort for the label. lead cut >it feels wrong< fuses classic analog bass with lively synth work and satisfyingly complex question-answer passages that whisk us away into a sweaty, late night vibe immediately. berlin based lord of the witching hour lee curtiss adds his touch on the remix side with a killer acidic treatment of >it feels wrong<. tense, soulful and teasing, this warm and super playable version will no doubt find its way to freaky dancefloors everywhere. >in the dark< slowly builds edgy, spooky elements in a deep, dark and sexy trip. combining smooth chords and keys, with trippy synths and sinister vocal snippets, whats bright and clear production works wonders in this slow-burner.

for alec koone, the 20 year old, pennsylvania resident, who was 19 and based in new york at the time of his first release, >wander / wonder< is a coming of age album that sees him expand upon the unique sound that attracted him so much attention to begin with. in koone s own words: it s an open ended album, and i think individuals should make their own meaning of it so that it is something actually real to them. it s not classical music, but in the tradition of a classical work like a bach cello suite, i see it as more of a whole musical piece with themes/motifs/ideas reoccurring throughout, connecting the tracks together as opposed to simply being a collection of songs that sit next to each other in isolation. it s also an album that should be listened to loudly. wander / wonder is a mysterious and genuinely haunting record that seems to exist in a world all of it s own making, balanced between the ecstatic wonder referenced in the title and something altogether more indefinable and uncertain of itself, like shards of light flickering through a blanket of fog, and even though wander / wonder is undeniably an electronic album, it feels strangely organic, rooted in nature, synthetic textures and distorted voices harmonizing with an ever present oceanic shimmer. wander / wonder was written and produced by alec koone in new york and pennsylvania. mixed by alec koone and sam haar (member of blondes) in new york city.

raf pisani and marco conte, aka audiomatiques, have long been involved in techno but its since they began working together as audiomatiques that everything began to click. together with roberto capuano, an artist who has already released for loose, claque musique, monique musique and suara, the duo have delivered 3 sterling tracks, which are backed by a remix from rino cerrone, for loose. cerrone takes full advantage of his position as label boss and places his remix of >so bad< in pole. its a walloping but low slung affair riddled with hypnotic rises and false drops which build incredible tension. in original form, >so bad< is a pounding affair. the focus is centred around an unholy bass heavy kick with just the minimum of percussive flourishes and vocal effects doing the rest with aplomb. >mind trip<, while equally as heavy, is fluid and slick. swinging tribal vibes and some clever effects work paired with an airtight arrangement makes for a surefire club burner. finally, the bizarre yet compelling leads of the aptly titled >crazy synth< close proceedings with a fever-dream fervour. original and memorable, this is a genuinely anthemic cut.
