with the back catalogue burned to cinders and the last few dog eared copies at freerange hq looking more than a little shabby, heres your opportunity to grab some of the labels highlights on the blackstuff. the complete boxsets have all gone now but you can still buy the box with part one and add the individual releases. here we have part two including bassforts dixtritt (never previously available on vinyl), axel bomans remix of lovebirds (also, for the first time on vinyl) and charles websters classic deep house reworking of subjekts come on.

from the fuego department of cómemia comes >de la cabeza< (off your head). que fuego - in buenos aires, when a particular style is particularly flamboyant, they say >que fuego<, be it an evening gown, a staggering dancing step, a good phrase or a precious little make-up smear. all these things are part of the wonderful world of djs pareja, one portrait shot of them and we all want to repeat the word boy (or even better: boy).

oil ep is the perfect type of music for making a difference on the dancefloor and now you handle it on the best format ever: vinyl.

the iconic 2001 debut album by the strokes gets its more than deserved vinyl re-issue.

mowar enters autumn with the 2nd instalment of deep floors, once again exploring the deeper grooves of techno. first up is ohios fbk, whose first release already goes back to 1996 on the legendary frictional records. with she brought me there fbk opens the dance with a solid deep dancefloor groover, driven by a hypnotic hook and infectious chords. stripped down and yet full of atmosphere. after that uks tom dicicco and italys roberto bosco team up to deliver all dem, another stripped affair with rolling drums and chord stabs, a solid blend of deep hypnotic layers of groove. on the flipside we find spains aiken with a strong detroit-infused workout, in-your-face kick drums, jacking rhythms and dramatic strings. your turntables will love it. last but not least, a new belgian upcoming producer stevie p delivers a dubbed out functional deep techno track with hip-sensitive chord stabs and a fiercely throbbing rhythm.

kranky was a bit surprised earlier this year when jessica bailiff contacted us and asked if we wanted to preview her new album for possible release. we had no idea she had even been working on an album, let alone had completed one, and we were rewarded with a listen to her most compelling album to date.

double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold sleeve

nice price deal !!! aÑa / henning baer / norman nodge / musk.... no one knows exactly how, or why it happened. we can only postulate. perhaps it was rogue hydrogen atoms causing havoc again, or a particularly voracious wave of em radiation hell bent on finding a good time. the point is, (in those days) such lude behavior was simply unacceptable: aÑa had become excited, too much so for the solar stiffs that swirled about her. and that system of hers—always buzzing around, refusing to share anything—it had to go. so both were exiled from that collision patch they called home, leaving aÑa and her system to wander the cosmos. some years passed. aÑa grew a little, but mostly she practiced her basswalk—not this girly swooshy thing with your hips, but a real bolshy bovver boot stomp. after a while she got pretty good at it, she wanted to show her friends. maybe theyd like to basswalk too. well, they couldnt get enough of it—but no one did it quite like aÑa. henning baers had a bit more groove to it and this whole new tweaky hat element. norman nodge kept his pretty punchy, but all that time spent in berghain had turned his basswalk into a bit of a skulk. as for musk, the boys inverted the whole thing of course—turned a disco trick, shifting the march down into more of a slinky house glide. aÑa liked them all so much—and it was time isolated system stopped being such a separatist—she decided to gather them all together to make basswalker part i. now you can basswalk too

support by noir, sascha braemer, tiger stripes, m.in etc. while its getting colder outside, miyagi sends us beautiful melodies for the autumn. you will bet! but such as love the new rennbahn has got a lot more to offer! weird world is a dreamy & floating deep house track, which will levitate you over the dance floor. warm melodies combined with a heavy bass line make sure to catch the mind of the people. the remix of jaxson & david keno let disappear your thoughts in the straight beat and the floating and hypnotizing bass rhythm! this remix is anything but weird. on the b-side, medusa is waiting for you with deep sounds and a beautiful piano chord in order to take you on a journey through her walk of fame. dont you dare to look at her cause her dreadful sight will turn you into stone. with oliver schories remix you will discover an interplay between deep basses and beautiful highs accompanied by his typical piano sounds which finally come together to one gorgeous climax at the end of the track.

chairlift present takes on several cuts from acclaimed second album >something< by some of their favorite producers, showcasing how their songs can easily be adapted for the club. appropriately titled the 6.15amix, spanish equipo fantástico john talabot and pional turn >i belong in your arms< into a balearica-infused club-closer. a nifty piano line and seductive rhythm take the song on a late night (or rather early morning) trip to the beach, while carolines voice is being warped into something from outer space. photek takes the same track to a whole different place with his powerful jungle interpretation. martyn respects both the pace and rhythm of sidewalk safari, yet exchanges the clean production for a rather more cosmic beat, incorporating many of his signature touches to compliment the sinister >i m gonna hunt you down< lyric. dan careys dub mix of >sidewalk safari< shows a more playful side, while arguably the most intriguing remix of the package is the fields take on >met before<, recalling his early work it is so warped and layered you may struggle to imagine the original minus the smallest of hints.

strictly rhythms vol.9 , vinyl part 1 of 2. incl tracks & mixes by monkey safari, jd twitch, dj sneak, dave mayer & roland clark...

according to legend, although the velvet undergrounds debut lp only sold about 100 copies when it was originally released, every one who did buy a copy were inspired enough to form their own band.

>do your thing, just make sure you are ahead of the game<, warns >game<, the opening salvo of release, pangaeas new double ep for hessle audio. it is a statement of intent for the entire record, reflecting the increasingly idiosyncratic nature of his music. releases eight tracks are entities unto themselves, each a natural evolutionary continuation of the rough and rolling pirate radio techno he began to culture on last years hex and inna daze 12 inches.

upon you is celebrating its fifth anniversary. two slamming remixes from steve bug & sebo k

its just a small sample off the groove platter a little something to whet your appetite, if you will. and who better to get the juices flowing than mobilees own versatile house-maven, ray okpara.

psst! shtum is the new sublabel of dresdens uncanny valley and it is created for proper techno and raw house tracks, music best listened to in a room full of strobe light and fog. right at the start youll get monomood with three dark and powerful tracks. parameter one is one of those techno stompers you cant help but fiercely nod your head to. the lyrics in the crafter might suggest it but actually nobody is afraid of the dark. not even after hell breaks loose with unrelenting chords. also, vault takes no prisoners while keeping the cellar door shut with its nasty acid lines and raw drum work. the musical concept has been interpreted visually by aram haydeyan and uncanny valley artist jacob stoy.

>bored of shit< is the first release from new label k!ssa records. it follows dollskabeats debut >zodiac rising / no breaks no sleep< ep, which grabbed the attention of the music press, radio 1 and 6 music back in 2009. an electronic punk sneer and light-hearted grump at the state of modern popular culture, >bored of shit< is perhaps not what people might have expected as a follow up from dollskabeat but either way, it is a sure fire dance-floor filler. the ep also features an exquisite remix from vakula who described the track as impossible not to dance to and guest bass playing from firecrackers fudge fingas. keep your ears peeled for future dollskabeat release >so long for a small storm< - a mould-breaking piece of electronic music that will pick up where she left off. pressed on 180g vinyl and mastered by matt colton at air studios.

up next on scubas hotflush recordings is the stunning debut ep >forever for now< from 20 year-old duo shelter point. through the use of field recordings, upright pianos, their own chopped and screwed vocals and a varied palette of synths, the pair have created a lush and elegant four track love letter that is bound to make their contemporaries stand up and take note. >braille< sets the scene, its wistful, haunting vocals delicately slinking along to emotive and complex analogue synths, only slightly changing course on the vibrating and discordant 80s inspired >hold on me<. on the flip is the title track, a compelling and experimental piano ballad, rich with vinyl crackle and a bittersweet lyrical flow (forever burned your picture in my mind) followed by the pop-inspired >sleep easy<, a sweetly composed bedroom soul production kitted out with filtered synths and dubbed out atmospherics. a unique and memorable debut from a very bright new talent, shelter point is here to stay.

brill deep groovin delicious house!! chicago inspired stuff

did you see that reckless kid sitting next to rebolledo at the wheel of a convertible, racing around the mexican countryside while chanting things about revenge and seduction? it is also him being the handsome gadabout restlessly rushing through the streets of barcelona, claiming that he gives nothing. and there is a possibility that maybe last weekend that very same boy bewildered your local dance grotto with hyperactive vigor. talking about monterreys daniel maloso and his fabled comeme collaborations with rebolledo (including the much acclaimed desierto ep), his colossal solo debut >hijos de jose< and his reputation for highly intense live action.

eine hommage an die eigenen vorbilder: achtes album der us-punk-pop-band. die vinyl-lp enthält eine cd-kopie des albums.

the human experience ep from jamal moss is the 8th 12 inch from this highly coveted and limited imprint. how wet is your box starts with a great distorted & chaotic synth line & is followed by siddhartha (part 1). flip it for long live the flesh & the title track. hand stamped & limited to 300 copies.

marvin & guy return to lets get lost with 2 superb reworkings. first up they visit arthur russell in a dusty acoustic space jam, while on the flip they enter more discofied proto house territory with bubbling acid tweeks, beckoning vocals and piano magic. closer to all your dreams.

from medellin to the uckermark and back again to question mark – here is another comeme travelogue for your badass baedeker. not long ago sano left his colombian hometown to find himself in an old palace in brandenburg, locked inside a dreamlike basement studio for two weeks with another seven from around the world. it has been there, as sano told us, that a blood pact was sealed. and now indeed it is his >chupa< (suck it!) to be the already second record (after alejandro paz - free) to emerge from that magnificent comeme conclave held at a cottage outside of berlin this summer.

here we find a couple of heavyweights facing off with one of the centre pieces of orgue electroniques acclaimed >strange paradise< album. on the one hand we have kink & neville watson (an unlikely pair blabla but you know all that) with a swooning but rather pressing epic that unexpectedly turns into a harmonious vortex. and once you have crossed its event horizon it proceeds to quite exquisitely tear you to shreads. marvel as you turn into jelly and watch your legs grow longer and longer in what not only seems like an eternity, but actually is cause umm technically, like, there aint no time in a black hole dude! code! speaking of which, if you ever do make it to the other side, you will find up n cummer willie burns (who is known to many as the brooklyn budgie smuggler) oldschool jacking the faders with two of the sikkest organic beat tracks north of the corpse of ron (who is in a dead heat with jimi, jim and james in the race for most desecrated musician in like 4evah). anyhow, these jamz come courtesy of the sp12. feel it feel it feel it feel it... boom knock out!

eklo 021is the first double 12 inch on the label !!! and its coming from le loup, a close member to the family. 7 tracks who show his vision of house music, one is featured by seuil. there will be a limited pressing of this 2x12inch, be fast to get your copy of this rare project

young marco made a big impression to a new lot of listeners at the beginning of 2012 with his esp institute debut, nonono / darwin in bahia (played by dixon and james murphy amongst others). the young man from amsterdam now returns with a sister 12inch to his nonono, a perfectly complimentary piece of wax that maintains his esoteric stance on house music, and proves that hes no one-trick pony. video days blends marcos signature analog synth work with tribal rhythms and a loose sense of narrative, while the flipside later than u think takes a more cheeky approach, pairing a blissfully stabbing core melody with a mousey counter-melody and setting it all over some huge tom-heavy drum programming. these songs are the perfect close to a beautiful summer, whether youre lost in euphoria as the sun comes up, or simply dancing around your kitchen in the nude.

>ein privateer, also ein freibeuter, das bin ich, wenn mans mal genau nimmt<, sagt mark knopfler und bezieht sich mit dieser überraschenden sse gibts nicht, wenn du diese art von musik machst

2011 solo album from the rage against the machine guitarist.

strictly limited vinly-only release, make sure you get your hands on this! 180 gramm vinyl. shrink wrapped. amazing piece of music! all sound creation and sequencing was improvised in real time and recorded to stereo with no processing.
steevio delivers the second offering in the >modular techno< series of live improvised analogue recordings extracted from his practice sessions for the freerotation electronic music festival which he organises with partner suzybee. with vol 2 steevio takes his modular jams to the next level with more complex sequencing and refined harmonics in contrast to the deliberately raw vol 1. only basic editing to extract the individual tracks from the 1 hour live sessions was used, and there was no prior planning involved other than a choice of tempo and key. each session evolved from a totally blank canvass on steevios eurorack modular synth and moog voyager.

futuristic-funk starchild jimmy edgar returns with the third single to be taken form his recent album >majenta< out earlier this year on hotflush. this time edgar shoves is free-spirited sexual appetite in your face, with a slice of stripped-down, upfront electro-funk complete with j.g. ballard-inspired lyrics of car-crash sexual fetishism. alongside the original album cut, two alternate takes are reworked by a pair of producers at the very top of their game: jon convex and john talabot. whilst talabot creates an eerie and downright epic re-imagining through his combination of amazonian electronics and volume manipulation, the convex cut enhances the dance floor potential of the original with bubbling, arpeggiated 303 bass.

excellent deep house tracks

(tony watson rmx) 180g heavyweight vinyl + special glossy cover. sun is the brainchild of kota motomura and the first song from his project beat down 100 soul from japan. this will spread some heat for sure and will make your summer last forever

all tracks written and produced by james plural johnson, dayton ohio usa. masterings by christoph grote-beverborg at dubplates & masterings studios berlin.

masterpiece! strictly limited vinyl only pressing. again more than 30 minutes playtime. time to introduce roras founders, romar & ravzan! vase culture volume i takes you to a trip through their minds. be fast to get your hands on it.

icu boy n dread has been making some serious waves of late and when you hear his music, it doesn’t take long to understand why. his debut here on smokin sessions is soulful and beautifully engineered. clean crisp highend frequencies tickle your ear drums and the low end cuts through with a weighty punch. all 3 tracks have been supported by the deep heads page and had a very positive response.

another piece of swissness here! long anticipated and finally here. animal trainers new ep for their very own piece of gold: hive audio. sure they were also featured on the 6 years hive compilation, made several quality remixes & released on labels such as pokerflat or stil vor talent, but its still special to present your music on the self-made label. besides 3 originals there is another very talented producer to find on this record. &me delivers like everytime. it looks like he started where the 2 guys from zurich finished. a lot of energy which comes together in a very strong beat which makes this one a dancefloor-thing for sure.
