a three tracker from copenhagens music for dreams and an unusual new house direction for this normally chilled/balearic label, but all 3 tracks still have that definite white isla feeling. limited edition.

yes, its your bad girl emma and once again i am sending you some hot stuff straight outta my bedroom.claus casper & jean philips, my boys from cologne, asked some of their favorite producers to remix their bomb track what we used to be

chmmr is the dance music making moniker of even brenden hailing from, oh yes, all the norway. having released on luna flicks, relish this time is the right time for his debut on full pupp. the unmistakably sparkling chmmr sound stands for long hypnotic, tracks, simple in a way, but oh so grooveleaden, sick bassed continuously panned patterned with a string theme makes sure you never forget which song it was that stuck in your ear last. it was either lyd & bilde or ... np hard - oh yes. last not least thomas adds an own remix version with an epic mythical persion twist. persion version is a full. inshallah!

one per customer! edwards 2nd album -into a better future- accompanies you for hours, makes you forget that daily grind. it is serious encouragement of movement, telling you to get away from the thick mess and find your way onto a proper highway. you will pass machines along the side of the road, engaged in a process of construction while your hands feel clean. and once in a while you ll hear the sound of sunrise and sunset racing each other in a tight rhythm.

steve frisco, of serie limitee fame, brings us the latest bundle of hot tracks to hit wax classic in 2014. as the title suggests, steve takes us on a journey through low fidelity sounds and production techniques. think dark, moody, yet crunchy basement house tracks with inspiration taken from all over the u.s and the rest of the house world. it’s a generous offering as well. six whole dusty tunes for those diggers who are looking for something with a bit more range than another record of generic piano laden, house-by-numbers pieces that still seem to be flooding the record store shelves in 2014. the moods do vary from track to track, but they remain very reflective and almost melancholic at points. the title track, ‘adventure in lo-fi’, is the deepest of the lot with filtered chords, echoing claps and a sporadic kick pattern that often clears way for the track’s bass hits. now, compare that to ‘da brooklyn beat’. whilst the former had a distinct sunrise/sunset kind of feel to it, the latter is definitely more of a club affair. skippy snare hits and a strong organ lead the track on, and at the risk of utilizing very overused buzzwords such as ‘raw’ and ‘ruff’, this track, and the rest of the a-side for that matter, certainly captures that essence. stalwart wax classic fans will no doubt be picking this one up to add to their collection. however, i strongly recommend this ep as a jumping in point to the label for any newcomers out there

deetroit drops a confident 6 tracker that is going many places while still keeping the die-hard udr fans fed with that raw sound they want! with this fourth 12 inch you should know by now what to expect. if not, just ask “the underground, they understand-. jack-acidy deep house. stamped white labels.

more 80’s luc marianni unreleased material remixed on the flip by london producer bass clef (punch drunk, idle hands…). after timeless remix by fxhe’s o b ignitt on ddd, best 2012 album nominee bass clef samples 3 tracks in one providing an extended crazy minimal tech à la matthew herbert bass track (yes it exists now !).

3 weirdo ones on the cult of properness. propers cult, the label launched by amsterdam s san proper, present their second release, the debut of a jazz-fusion drummer who goes by the name of d., hailing from katwijk (nl). three deep and mesmerizing house workouts veering into techno territories, with an acid glitch to them. yes, they come with a lot of question marks and exclamation points

this bundle features the great artwork and the exciting music of holger 1, holger 2 & holger 3 in a black tote bag

z records are back with vol 7 in the attd series: a1 yes, another killer cut on zr. zo!s gorgeous soul tune featuring eric roberson and phonte gets subtly housed up mix by dave lee. a record you will be hearing all summer at more musically inclined parties across the world. a2 jakattas house classic american dream gets a very cool bassline driven remix from andre crom & chi thanh… b1 new and unreleased…. b2 akabu feat. alex mills *everybody wants something* was an enormous tune for many in 2013 and is still getting played by big name djs in bustling nightclubs around the world. now we give you an off the chain/on point/un-believable remix from rhemi. we are not going to describe the nuances of the remix and highlight why the aforementioned big name djs like dropping the track in their sets at cool clubs/festivals/corporate events but its pretty bloody good…

super abwechslungsreiche 10 inch. von afro (mawa) über flamingos (deep house) und ivory (tribal house) zu mantra (minimal techno) . alles drine .
masaaki yoshida aka anchorsong has been winning friends here in the uk and internationally throughout europe with his live shows, and yes we do mean live: yoshidas music is created with a sampler and a keyboard, from scratch at his gigs. sometimes these sounds are augmented by a string quartet.

it s been a long time coming, the debut slow hands ep everything (we are) on wolf + lamb records. yes, you read that right, this is the first ep to be released by the long time w+l artist, slow hands. known to his friends & family as ryan cavanagh, the native vermonter has maintained a career as both a live musician, and dj through a consistent release of singles and remixes for w+l, as well as permanent vacation, k7, and bedrock to name a few. with everything (we are), cavanagh sets out to deliver a preview of the diversity that will be expressed in the great number of songs set to be released in the coming year, and longly anticipated lp.

trulz & robin are trulz kvam & robin crafoord, hailing from, yes off course, olso. and producing a mixture of deranged (in a great way) and extremely deep detrot influenced transmatesque slow electronic house. which they rightly call >acid-house gone organic<. i takeskogen and mosemannen are 2 moving and seriously mezmerising killer tracks that win and win with each listen and totally stand out of the mass of todays releases. tip!

in times where a rave feels pretty much like a funfair, the chairoplane is still the nicest ride. thinking of kettenkarussell some might remember one of those gathered moments in a low summer night under the clear sky when things made sense for a while. but those memories fade away quite fast or seem really strange a few years later on youtube. so what is it that is left behind? after 10 years of collaboration the couple decided to do an album that might challenge the comfort zone of those who try to keep up that easy living. its a record full of holes. and still this is what keeps them together. in pain we trust... and yes i believe you and me will make love forever...

*broken circuit* is the meeting of minds between max wheeler and victoria port aka anushka. the results are one of the most enjoyable, unpretentious hybrid dance soul records you will hear all year.

finest minimal and hypnotic techhouse by tuccillo. perfect for the summer. incl. huge robert dietz remix.

after the highly anticipated release of his third studio album decay, efdemin presents the first part of a remix series featuring his favourite producers. bristols underground hero asusu inflates the reduced album opener some kind of up and down yes with deepest bass and beautiful scapes to the max in a true photek-style. last years control by staffan linzatti was one of the favourite constants to be played in every efdemin or lawrence set. luckily his version of solaris is another epic hymn here with futuristic enhancements of the third kind.the most extraordinary piece on decay versions part 1 is the borderland states rework of parallaxis. efdemins studio-mate john gürtler recorded that beauty with adding acoustic instruments only and sounds like a meeting of moondog with wim mertens.

fervent followers of lph will immediately recognize this record as the second from berlin-by-way-of-london-by-way-of-l.a. producer, urulu, to grace the label. (if you want to get technical, yes, the first did arrive via lph white, an lph imprint.)

on its first release, orioni makes its debut on 12inch with four tracks made in argentina. with jonas kopp, luis ruiz, mental resonance, and matt saderlan. this ep comes packed with four dancefloor weapons: jonas kopp with >mandelbrot<, contributes with a massive pounding rhythm full of atmospheres, with his classic groove based on solid kicks and hypnotic vibes, jonas presents full drum action around the percussion and sequences. for the a2 >triplets< is a track with a catchy 303 bass-line and roland drums programmed by luis ruiz. its acid classic signature comes with the task of bringing back that old school techno sound , whose roots had got lost in time. in the other side, mental resonance: >birth of omega century< has that fresh detroit techno style, and is ready to energize dance-floors with the groove of the 909 and hypnotic synthesizers. at least but not last, matt saderlan with >kids dist days<, destructive, corrosive and distorted letal weapon for acid lovers. no need to check your volume leds, yes, it is that banging. orioni has begun!

nice price deal !!! new years deal - all the tracks on alex burkats latest release, the ep 285 kent are references to, homages to, and an elegy for various ny clubs and clubbing experiences

since richie hawtin played this track in his boiler room set on ibiza, many people have been asking about this joyce muniz collab. the track features fresh vocals by bam (formerly known as mc baby bam) from the legendary 90ies hip-hop group the jungle bothers (native tongues/zulu nation). the beat is based around a sample from kraftwerk s it s more fun to compute, and for this version we ve actually got full approval from kraftwerk (yes - guess what). so we re happy to release it now. hope you dig it too

when chateau flight was approached to participate to this live project of covers of terry riley, together with le cabaret contemporain, they immediatly said yes. it was the occasion to play great music from a majeur influence of them, and also to play it live with some great musicians. the live experience went so great that they decided to go in the mythical vogue studio (around paris), to record it. the idea was to have a full live take, no edits, to capture the magic of the improvisation. cabaret contemporain is 2 prepared double basses, 1 drummer, 1 guitar player, 1 prepared piano. chateau flight(i:cube and gilb-r) providing the electronics sounds and the mixdown here is the result.

yes, melodymathics will be treating all vinyl lovers with a very rare collectors item on record store day 2014.

a few years ago, a-trak got together with the pioneering house/garage producer armand van helden to form the playful dance duo duck sauce, and they quickly scored a vast international hit with *barbra streisand*. now, nearly four years after that song landed, they are finally ready to release *quack*, their giddy and engaging debut album, which features singles like *radio stereo*, *it s you*, and, yes, *barbra streisand*. the album is not a typical dance album but a whole lot of fun: quack pushes the boundaries of house music and sampling into an absurdly visual listening experience, interwoven with skits, scratching and irresistible loops.

the goal with supernova was to look back to the disco era but with a synth heavy and altogether more cosmic twist. alex is a big fun of modern russian classical music composing style. also he was inspired by early english progressive scene (yes, elo etc). this is why u-kas melodic lines are long and not so straight sometimes. and oleg is musically far from academic school and prefers zappa, early german electronic and psychedelic krautrock etc.

oh yes, this a heavyweight bad boy on gamm from french beatmaker/producer izem. after his extensive travels around the globe the sound on the ep is influenced by africa, cuba as well as the middle east.
itt is an electronic take on a classic fela joint, celia (cruz) goes along a similar route but on the latin tip. both are pretty nasty and a near perfect marriage between futuristic productions and raw retro samples. finishing off the ep we get served a slice of arabic boogie using hipnotics hard to find boogie gem *are you lonely* and some fierce middle eastern vocals.

efdemin is back on dial records with his third full-length album decay, following his self-titled debut in 2007 and chicago, in 2010

accomplished producer, phil kieran, makes his hotflush debut with a two-track ode to hedonistic flight. yes im going there goes the lead tracks refrain. where there is, who knows? but you can enjoy a soundtrack of sun-kissed piano chords and heraldic horns on the way. as kieran > gets away< on the a2, the mood takes a turn for the dark. lost in the early hours, pockets full of miniature plastic bags and no money…thank fuck for the throb of that kick in these lonely but exciting times

optimo trax is an offshoot label of optimo music for tracks aimed at djs/dancefloors. yes, we know there are too many record labels already, but we felt an overriding desire to start another one as so much music that didnt seem quite right for optimo music (i.e. music that was specifically designed for dancing) kept coming our way. like the parent label, optimo trax will release music by new artists and excavate forgotten classics.

so yes, 2013 certainly is the year skudge opens up the vaults! right on the tail of our recent irie ep comes cliff lothar s new record.

the road to hell is paved in gold. one that guides to disorder, repression and eventually a last leap into od. yes, boy, this is life. unfair, menacing, dark and twisted, like the new ep from r-a-g out on lux rec. the dutch trio presents its first release outside the m>o>s legacy and delivers three excessive tracks wandering on the fringes of the jacking zone, analog techno and wavy obscurity. walk in, embrace life. hear it pulsates, disappear. gold vinyl in a gold printed sleeve. free download included.

pick a piper was conceived in 2008 along with band mates angus fraser and dan roberts, and following two eps, the band is set to release their debut self-titled debut album. the album is made up of eight very different songs, all with one thing in common: each is built upon the foundation of its own ingenious rhythm structure, with musical layers meticulously applied, up until the vocals, which are added right at the very end, if at all. song writing done back-to-front, which is also fitting in this case because: brad weber? isnt that...? yes indeed! brad is also the drummer for caribou.
the vinyl lp comes with free download code.

optimo trax is an offshoot label of optimo music for tracks aimed at djs/dancefloors. yes, we know there are too many record labels already, but we felt an overriding desire to start another one as so much music that didnt seem quite right for optimo music (i.e. music that was specifically designed for dancing) kept coming our way. like the parent label, optimo trax will release music by new artists and excavate forgotten classics. luma is a project by dave clark from glasgow. dave had his first release as a member of state of flux in 1993 on t&b vinyl, the label twitch ran with his dj partner of that era, brainstorm. twitch and dave have continued to work together in various ways ever since. he has released records as truffle club, and as big ned on optimo music as well as working with twitch from 2005 - 2010 remixing a plethora of artists under the optimo (espacio) moniker before fatherhood necessitated him focusing on changing nappies rather than programming synths. dave has also recorded under various aliases for r&s, numbers, stuffrecords, dissident and wireblock. the twentieth anniversary of that first release seemed a fitting date for dave to unleash his monster new club music alter ego, luma on optimo trax. twitch thinks dave is the best producer in scotland and endlessly weeps into his gin and tonics about how unprolific dave is, so was ecstatic when the 4 killer tracks were delivered that make up this third optimo trax ep. these have been thoroughly road tested over the last few months at gigs around the world.

another french producer on local talk? yes, you are damn right. let us welcome max fader aka s3a (sampling is an art) to the family. we have been keeping an eye on this talented producer who has been making waves with his massive releases on phonogram, hold youth and 4lux. sleepless 909 and intensity are great examples of s3as tightly spliced works of wonder. disco and funk fueled loops paired together with slammin hi-hats and organ stabs. does it kick? hell yes! this 10 inch will keep any party moving. local talk is talking to you!

a few words by steffen bennemann: when i heard margot for the first time, i instantly fell in love with their synth-driven free- form kraut-techno. strong melodies, insanely well-shaped beats, sometimes driving, sometimes bravely bending the rules. after great releases on james holdens border community, ivan smagghes kill the dj and their own label we were more than happy to welcome them in our holger family. here they can show their more experimental side, far beyond common floor/listening conventions and full of synapse-tickling synth magic. plus a secret pop hit (trentaseitrenta), perfect for closing any exceptional club night.
