alans new single on drumcode demonstrates exactly why alan fitzpatrick is a powerhouse within the techno scene. the tetra will enrapture the dance floor from the off with its brooding nature and syncopated claps. it pushes forwards with glistening highs before more melodic stabs join the equation and slowly the beautiful melodic phrase partakes in this outstanding piece of work. on the flip we are forever young finishes off the single with a slow burning after hours vibe that will keep the clubbers nodding.

our favourite swedish house duo is back…more dirty than ever! the follow-up to the previous eps moody & trapped is nothing short of brilliant. waisted with its plucked strings is classic deep house held together by a bumpy groove, soulful vocals & slick keyboard but still maintaining the formula that defines dirtytwo and their finest work to date. talking 2 u is where dirtytwo gets deep down and gritty. chunky house chords, a meaty bassline, cut-up voice samples in full basement effect. flip over for the hard on edit of talking 2 u which goes one step further adding some acid lines and a raw basement feeling. a dub for those who seek a more raw and heavier tool. local talk is talking to you!

those who know the respected irish producer john daly for his bubbly, melodically nuanced house and techno tracks may get thrown off balance by his latest work under the smoke clears handle. while his 2011 release for further, sea level, hinted at his fondness for manuel göttsching/klaus schulze-like kosmische ambience, on listen daly veers off into more introverted and arcane abstraction terrain. the title track kicks off the album on a decidedly downtempo, contemplative note while maintaining dalys knack for understatedly beautiful melodies. it sounds like the best song morr music never released.

hitsafe are a duo of established producers operating under an enigmatic moniker. nothing new, you might say, and that is true. the music is so outstanding and unusual though, that in this case this approach really does make sense. serious jaw-work is funk in its purest form. and we mean real funk! wonder how many djs will have the guts and abilities to play this one out…to round this release up, we asked lopazz and casio casino for a remix and these guys came up with two! both are so good, we couldnt make a choice. so here we go with both of them on this release. the jack remix on a2 is a functional tech housy Überhit, suitable for all peaktime house floors, the jane remix on the b-side is a moodymanesque version with a strong ludicruous tendency, that has all necessary qualities to become a timeless epic. massive!

a word from label boss chris farrell: this is the new one on idle hands, from us producer strategy. i first came across paul dickows work when he released a 12 inch called *world house* on his own community library label back in 2005. it blew me away. in the ensuing years my friend duncan george who promoted bristol’s best electronic music night - under_score tried on numerous ocasions to book him for a bristol date but it never quite hapened due to the usual things that go wrong in club land. in those years duncan kept in touch with paul and last year suggested to him that it might be worth sending some tracks to me, which he did at the start of 2013… add a peverelist remix and you have the tracks here before you, dub reggae informed house and psychedelic 2 step vibes.

wir feiern die fulminante rückkehr von hip house. für eine solche standen die zeichen schon seit einiger zeit sehr gut. denn jener mitreissende sound, der ende der achtziger house und hip-hop verbrüdert hat, setzt schließlich immer noch die tanzflächen in brand und sorgt dort für herrlich unkontrollierbare schübe von euphorie. für >work it out<, die erste single ihres neuen albums >behind the masks , haben sich snuff crew mit einem der pioniere und bekanntesten vertreter des genres zusammengetan: tyree cooper. der ist nicht erst seit seinem großen hit >turn up the bass< weltweit erfolgreich. bei >work it out< zeigt er sich nun wieder in bestform. markige raps, heftige grooves, schrille sirenen und wilde scratches sind die explosiven zutaten dieses stücks. und auch der zweite track auf der single wartet mit einem hochkarätigen gast auf. immerhin verleiht die bulgarische sängerin rachel row >new life< mit ihrer umwerfenden stimme pures house feeling mit gänsehautgarantie. passend dazu dringen piano und strings tief ins herz hinein

in 2011 when mad mats and tooli went to sonar festival in barcelona they met ludovic llorca aka art of tones outside a club. little did they know back then that two years later on they would release a 12 inch together. the same thing ep opens with the title track and kicks pretty damn sweet with its strong vocal, the guitar, bass and rhodes jamming on top of a tight groove, there is also a dub version included on the b-side. last but not least, the great sgatmi is a jazzy and bumpy house take with lots of samples perfectly balanced. all in all, classic art of tones material and the work of a producer firing on all cylinders.

nyta hails not from the big apple, but from bristol, uk. his real name is mensah anderson, who is also the seasoned producer that you probably know simply as mensah. the nyta guise focuses on being a fresh outlet for his 120 - 130bpm 80�s electro, house & techno influenced tracks & creations. the �new york transit authority� name was first adopted for a split 12�� release with conqueror (redlight) on redlight�fs lobster boy label last year. his side was a slinky, 808 house number entitled �*off the traxx�*, which deservedly found its way into fact�s 50 best tracks of the year & was caned by a wide range of top djs across the globe, including joe goddard, loefah, redlight, boddika, jackmaster, disclosure, pearson sound, benji b & giles peterson to name just a few. nyta has already proven himself as a talent on the decks with sets across the world & two exclusives mixes: one for dazed & confused & �ethe one�f for fact mag that finished in the top 20 best fact mixes of the year.

the star eyed condition is chameleonic effort in the impossible to pin down trajectory of loden s career. the belgian-based producer and musician has already proven his facility for glassy disco and droning ambient on his 2005 debut valeen hope, and glitchy hip-hop via his work with sole and thirsty fish.
on his new album, koks goes even further beyond his already drawn boundaries. there is a touch of robo-electro to tracks like *optimist never cries* and *sanesserarian* (a play on the phrase *ça ne sert a rien* or *it is useless*). he brings the ghostly sounds of german electronic pop into the dirtiest of hip-hop beats. and on his collaboration with rhymer doseone, *future confetti*, he gets lost in a psychedelic wilderness worthy of dj danger mouse.

anaxander make a welcome return to local talk following the mighty local talking ep released earlier this year which got support from heavy weights like rolando, ben sims, recloose, ben westbeech and many more. on this release he drops the bpms and let the machines do the talking. both candy stand and my aniseed lollipop are perfect examples of how to lay down an acid track sparse but bold percussion frameworks to contain that all important, tension laced 303 work - perfect for ballrooms and basements alike!

it is team time again as we issue yet another huge collaborative effort from some of the scenes most accomplished producers and biggest names. dis070 draws together the collective powerhouse force of dlr, hydro, villem, fields, mako and linden over two tracks to provide an outing of gigantic proportion, individually each producer within their own right is more than capable of delivering the goods in solo work mode, so imagine the results you would get from locking them all up in a dark studio room together for hours on end to channel their combined genius! well the result of that scenario is right here and is everything and more you may expect it to be.

dixon cites tim hecker, autechre and wolfgang voigt as influences and this ep is as equally diverse. we begin with edge of the universe , an enigmatic techno experiment. tight hats and snare work give it an almost jackin feel whilst subtle bumping subs and cryptic vocal chops decorate throughout.

savvy watchers of the throne (of blood) first got acquainted with split secs (the los angeles based duo of alexandre mouracade of sonns fame and west coast house and disco stalwart tk disco) back in december of last year, when they brilliantly remixed waze & odysseys our world. or perhaps it was their incredible work for labels like pacific wizard foundation, jolly jams, or their own machine limited. with the joint ep, they officially join the tob family, and what an entrance!

after one of the coldest winters on record in the uk, boe provides a welcome respite from haunting memories of the past freezing months with a slice of warmth, soul and deepness from the labels first italian signing, gaetano battista. with a slew of releases under other aliases, the first vinyl record for gaetano under his birth name comprises of 3 tracks of measured, mature and emotional house music that defies any debut presumptions.

the alias of welsh-born, california-based brian williams, lustmord first emerged as an associate of spk in the early 80s, before embarking on a solo career that has yielded such classics as heresy (1990), the place where the black stars hang (1994) and (with robert rich) stalker (1995). lustmord has also contributed to numerous hollywood films as music and sound designer, and collaborated with the likes of clock dva, chris & cosey, geir jenssen, the melvins, tool, aaron turner, monte cazazza and coils jhon balance. often seen to epitomize dark ambient, it would be more accurate to say that his work simply goes deeper, further, than conventional ambient dares, or is able, to go. half a decade in the making, the word as power is his new studio album and an exploration of ritual music without dogma.

cardiff massive giovanni branciamore and bradley albertides heard nicoles amazing sultry folky tones on the flowers of flesh & blood album and just had to work up some nip and bop to sit with her voice. nicole loved it and this is it! we are not too sure what to label this music under but tags of future nip hop ambient folk bop seem to be close. sarah burgess is a secret forest folky vocalist from york with a super soft ambient tone to her voice which was crying out for a touch of flyypost nip. luv*jams ambient alter ego flyypost slides out some wobbled out bass lines, floaty synths and a 68bpm raw kick drum all gliding on a bed of waves with sarahs stunning memories vocal. what style of music do we label this as? neo italo nip folk acid whop?

after the cyh remixes vol. 1 with dj sneak & ian pooley from 2011 comes here round 2 of our remix series. this time jesse rose & ray okpara choose their favorite clap your hands track for their own interpretation. were more than happy to present the jesse rose remix of rafael kakudos work and ray okparas remix of malte seddigs downstream movement.

following on from the release of david ks well-received sneakers & playground ep, the unnerving pairing of nico & pherox (aka tim querengaesser) return with a record that is veiled by in a dark and mysterious shroud. nico (previously known as verena) is a young and fresh female artist, influenced from an early age by the classical work of her father (who worked as a music composer), whilst pherox is a more familiar presence in todays deep clubbing landscape, having released on mupa, catenaccio, dumb unit, stock5 and his very own label, slash. on this ep, the pair explore a broad palette of sounds, taking in italian horror film-esque chords, chopped and screwed vocal samples, rolling basslines, soothsaying vocals, drawn out fog horn stabs. this is deep music, flavoured by the nocturnal, tinted by the eighties, and ultimately full of originality.
