second octopus is mr statik with an excellent 3 channels remix, stathis is a greek gentleman of some refinement, his tracks caught our ear on mathias schaffhausers ware imprint as part of the mudmax duo and his talent for combining careful modern production and late night hysteria drew us to him as a future roster artist. then we come to 3 channels,what can we say,they have blown up on crosstown rebels and trapez and their own imprint channel records, their dj sets kick ass all over the place and their remixes, from claude vonstroke to decryptor have proved them as the bright stars of the european house movement. this mix is inspired,relentless, unusually energetic and yet typically 3 channels, aimed straight into the heat and haze of the night

back in 2009, exactly five marches ago, culprit began its journey. 5 years of existence is a significant mark for a label and worthy of some introspection. with its new release, the los angeles­based label celebrates one of its most recognisable elements, the standard hotel rooftop, the site of the labels signature parties for the past 6 years: its been more that just a location – the rooftop has become the essential ingredient of culprits philosophy. inspiring a successful three-part compilation series, above the city, which has united some of the best young production talent around, the series has showcased a particular brand of warm summer­time sound, modern yet timeless. each remix is a culprit debut for all of the remixers. yet, each of them is part of the extended group of friends of the label, a like­minded tight­knit collective

when luke solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with local talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we have been fans for a long time and mats actually booked him to his raw fusion club in the late 90s. he has been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. we couldnt agree more. lost channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby new york inspired house track comes in two versions. the raw & stripped version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with lukes trademark percussion sprinkled on top. the live piano version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. bubbly fx, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline. for remix duties it is the return of an old local talk friend, wil maddams. it seems like wil has spent some time in detroit since last time. this remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the d, his clever drum programming holds this track together with its deep pads and bubbling bassline. it is a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.

further collaborations are also on the horizon, with a return to making music with friend and cohort ricardo villalobos as butric with the two figures being anything but generic, it promises to be another feet twitching, brain melting escapade in butchs musical ride.

medical records presents its second contemporary artist release with roladex. imagine kraftwerk playing steven merritt songs. using an arsenal of analog instruments, roladex nostalgically borrows ideas from music of the past to carefully craft a unique brand of futuristic-mechanized pop, with an emphasis on songwriting and layered production. weaving sparse, sequenced arpeggios into fuzzy bass and bubbly melodies to create a bed of sound where they layout a somehow bright melancholia.

culprit kicks off its extended summer series of releases and finishes its five-stop european talent scouting tour in, appropriately, spain. two new immensely gifted additions to the culprit production arsenal are valencia and madrid-bred(and ibiza-based) team of edu imbernon and los suruba.the trio deliver one of culprits most distinct singles in recent memory,fayer, a composition of almost timeless sound palette, whose analog warmth and upbeat feel make the labels customary transition between its indoor and outdoor programmes.
