...make uk funky again!

paradise palms presents a brand new 7inch from rising producer tom blip, who heads up the globetrotting record label blip discs and has found his own productions in hot demand, showing up in sets from the likes of four tet, gerd jansen & pearson sound. rez / crazy arps is a bold 7inch of crunchy drum machine-driven boogie, tracked hot to tape and peppered with toms wormy sh101 riffs. rez / crazy arps is available on 7inch

a total of four killer dancefloor curveballs from kampala, uganda, performed and composed by the traditional mataali drum and vocal troupe mubashira mataali group (pron: moo-ba-shee-ra). esoteric and unusual although fantastically joyous to listen and dance to, the unbelievably tight multitude of percussionists provide the perfect backdrop for musician-come-filmstar sulaiman sulait to deliver his entrancing vocal performance with a strong islamic message at the heart.

your west friends return from a squat soirée with a new contender in tow. with nothing more than a wav and a dream, tom blip is the hero your party deserves. famed for his blip discs filled with rhythm and verve, blip teleports us to baltimore on this with one misdemeanour on his record. no slackin now, this one ain t coming back!

here we have the very special return of the synonymous tom blip to the blip discs label since 2015 s endlessly re-pressed wrong guanco . sentimental strings kicks off with notes of early 2000s daft punk hands-up-in-the-air euphoria before politely cannonading into hints of theo parrish kick-drum chaos midway through, whilst a commingling of orchestral disco sample heaven, twinkly scintillation and sonic messages from the stars constitutes the b side, there were no signs. early support coming in strong from midland, gerd, francis inferno orchestra and more...

frisky and shifty, eski-beat cheeky, breaky and beaty against a backdrop of raw synthesis punctuated by tekken style karate chants. undoubtedly glowing palms’ most dance-floor-centric release yet. an artist previously released only on the legendary ruf kutz label, this producer is set to turn the climate from tribal to tropical. blip discs has teamed up with this manchester born sonic sorcerer for his well overdue first solo record since 2013! his inimitable sound of trancy synths and twinkly treats has earned support across the game yet again with everyone from kornél kovácz to moxie championing these weighty yet joyful floor fillers.

repress 2017 !! after the immensely well received start with blip001, soon enough dj’s and fans alike were banging down the abstract door of blip discs to see what else this new label could have in the pipeline. blip002 comes from label head honcho tom blip in the form of wrong guanco/shekere. these tracks are afro, unpredictable, dj orientated cuts - road tested by dj’s such as bradley zero & werkha, they’ve already been causing serious movements on dance floors up and down the country. due for release soon, blip002 offers another new, exiting artist to it’s roster accompanied by another limited 12” debut.

spooky-j spearheads blip discs darkest, most outlandish and hands-on dispatch to date. the a side is most definitely a heads down floor mover with meditative sounds akin to early dubstep, whilst the flip finishes in complete style with 808 infused dnb - two genres rarely seen together on a record, but held together superbly by spooky-j’s unbelievable live percussion work. nerds and geeks rejoice!

clattering percussion, raw energy… all the things that make an o’flynn release but now with a slightly more mature palette driving this hotly tipped producer forward. the term ‘mature’ is used lightly, it’s still completely mad with a load of sub!!

nach der heiss erwarteten veröffentlichung >ep1 / spock< veröffentlicht mute nun die zweite single-auskopplung >ep2 / single blip<. eine bedrohlich-pumpende bassline durchzieht diesen von dunklen, filterigen synthies dominierten und mit rhythmischen bleeps gefütterten minimal-industrial techno track. neben der treibenden originalversion finden sich noch zwei hochwertige remixe von byetone und mathew jonson auf der b-seite. olaf bender (byetone), einer der gründer des legendären experimental-elektronik labels raster-noton veröffentlichte 2011 sein hochgelobtes album >symeta< welches unter anderen in den jahresbestenlisten von fact & the quietus auftauchte. der kanadier mathew jonson wiederum machte sich in der szene neben seinem gehypten impro-projekt cobblestone jazz und veröffentlichungen auf seinem eigenen label wagon repair unter anderem mit remixen für plastikman, moby und den chemical brothers einen namen. die ep wurde wie auch das album von stefan betke (pole) gemastered und von timothy q wiles gemixt

his latest outing follows a self-released 12” on his newly incepted imprint hundred flowers earlier this year, as well as singles on blip discs and ninja tune. with his new single he continues to evolve his signature style: the breezy sunspear swirls with a euphoric world music sample and heated percussive energy, whilst peaktime weapon b side tru dancing is a horn-infused disco-house gem. o’flynn says -i wanted to make something for the summer dancefloor that people could have fun to. it was about taking the sample and recontextualising it to make something more modern whilst keeping the original feel, adding additional percussion to up the energy.”

children of tomorrow will celebrate soon its 10 years anniversary. the label was created by emmanuel ternois back in the day and being joined by arnaud le texier in 2011. since then they focused on techno producing amazing artists, to name few: terrence dixon, zadig, tensal, antigone, oscar mulero, jonas kopp, samuli kemppi etc... children of tomorrow is now presenting the first album from arnaud le texier. after almost 30 years dj-ing around the world and almost 20 years producing. signing many releases over the years and always busy delivering dance floor releases, it s been a long wait to finally get an album from arnaudon his first album we can feel that he wanted to tell a story and to express something deeper with his production experience. there is a different variety of techno that stretches from ambient / broken beat / hypnotic / raw techno along with subtles grooves, wondrous atmospheres & sonic textures. on a side the album opens with dusk, an ambient atmospheric mid-tempo track with sonic sounds that is a perfect intro.pattern 2 starts with drones and blip sounds and a broken beat groove follows with a pad that sounds like a voice coming from the space. the track ends with some modular click sounds that make the whole track clever. followed by the album title granular therapy, a deep techno track with modular bass line and melancholic pad. a perfect track to play in after or to warm up a party.the b side is more dedicated to the dance floor with black nympheas that is a proper dark modern techno with a grinding bass line and magic drones. a simple beat makes the track evolve in a nice way. blade pass frequency is 4/4 effective techno with a 909 kick, a syncope acid bass line and a pad that sends you to another dimension. it is a powerful track but with a sense of deepness and sensibility that arnaud can achieve sometimes. this side closes with binary sun dawn which is an ambient track with melody that has a jazz feeling mixed with dark atmospheres, sonic drones and water drops. the c side opens with mono driver, a minimal track with a little synth that stays until the end repetitively until it makes you travel and lose your mind. deep and dance floor at the same time.

david mayer’s career and background is marked by a desire to keep moving and experiencing new perspectives. having finally settled in berlin, the german dj and producer has built up an enviously diverse back catalogue on labels such as connected frontline, objektivity, gruuv, audiomatique and keinemusik. with his first release on acid pauli and nico stojan’s ouie label, mayer brings his trademark groove to the fore once more. ‘the call’ is a mid tempo chugger built around a kick, clap and 808 blip, before a more organic groove develops. the slowed down chants and wigged out synth line take the vibe into afro cosmic territory, without losing the original energy. ‘sooner’ is a little more urgent - a crisp, forward leaning rhythm and a deep, subby bass lead the way, before another frazzled synthesiser takes us on a melodic walkabout. ‘black queen’ is another example of mayer’s slick drum programming, keeping things zesty on the dance floor but with acres of space to lose yourself in.

der londoner produzent o’flynn welcher four tet, gilles peterson & bonobo zu seinen fans zählt veröffentlicht sein ninja tune-debüt! oflynn ist ein junger produzent aus london, der von den machern des boiler room als einer der vielversprechendsten newcomer im dance bereich geadelt wurde. eines der hervorstechenden 12inch-releases des jahres 2015 war o’flynns debütveröffentlichung bei blip discs, zwei tracks voll pumpender, perkussiver und afrikanisch beeinflusster house musik. tyrion entwickelte sich zum tool für four tet, ohne das er in seinen sets nur selten auskam, während das fast schon hymnische desmonds empire von musikgourmet gilles peterson aufgegriffen wurde, der es beim auflegen während des festivalsommers mit beeindruckender wirkung zum einsatz brachte. beim nachfolger oberyn/ spyglass packte er noch eine schippe klappernder perkussion drauf, die in noch stärkerer energie resultierte und airplay bei radio 1 & rinse fm zur folge hatte. seine jüngste veröffentlichung glow worm/ aloha ice jam bekam großes lob von bonobo und wurde von phonica records als eine ihrer besten singles 2016 bezeichnet. mit remixen für faltydl und addison groove und seiner kommenden 12inch für ninja tune in der pipeline, zeigt o’flynn, dass er auch in 2017 nicht daran denkt, das tempo zu verlangsamen und arbeitet stattdessen weiter daran, einen aufregenden neuen namen in der elektronischen musikszene zu etablieren.

we welcome dmx krew back to super rhythm trax with another ep crammed with highlights. the ep opens with the stunning grand tour sounding frighteningly like a never heard classic from 1989 before the rug is pulled from under your feet and you fall into the menacing stomp of death blip which pretty much does what you d hope. flip the record for the crafty jack of the wiggly worm before the ep concludes with the wistful simplicity of old groove . dmx does it again!

octo champ releases his second ep of 2017, following up on not quite there yet, which received major exposure from thump and dj mag. this upfront four-track release is a selection of dance floor ready disco and house and sits boldly apart from a lot of other music within these genres. dj support so far from dan shake and titeknots amongst others. taking inspiration from the more exotic corners of the musical spectrum the ep leads with the upbeat make heaven and its conga rhythms, vocal hooks and electronic patterns. cmi is slower and moves further into the groove whilst lacuna is the ep s funkiest cut, featuring a killer bass hook, percussion, guitar chops, claps and more vocals to carry it along. closing with a second four to the four track diametric leads with an elastic, acoustic bassline, synth pads and you ve guessed it: more vocal hooks. octo champ is one-half of dj/promoter duo rigid disco, running parties and radio shows across both london and glasgow and booking rising stars such as tom blip, fyi chris, hector plimmer and the rye wax crew. octo champ has remixed soundway s flamingods and chpln as well as contributing to the cdr x dimensions sounds 2016 project. most recently, his music was picked up by let s go swimming who released the not quite there yet ep.

iuly.b returns to visionquest this march with the surreal experience ep accompanied by a remix from bass cultures djulz. romanias iuly.b is rapidly becoming a household name in the realms of stripped-back, immersive house music of late, a regular feature on hectors vatos locos imprint and at the labels events, as well as releasing material on bouq, claque musique and of course visionquest where he returns to here following his observatory ep in november of 2016. this time round iuly.b launches the surreal experience with a murky, dub-tinged composition entitled sci fry, laid out over eight minutes with snaking synth whirrs, sweeping dub echoes and tumbling sub bass tones before bass culture head-honcho djulz reworks the original into a more robust, groove-drive interpretation via swinging rhythms, stuttering sample chops and a thunderous low end drive. moonberry opens the flip side on a more reduced tip with bumpy organic percussion, rounded sub swells and an amalgamation of sonar blip melodies to create a dynamic and hypnotic workout, time traveller then closes the release via expansive atmospherics, subtly evolving acidic synth licks and loose shuffling drums

originally released in 2003. pure japanese futuristic house!!

after the sweat-soaked throwback fervour of his 2015 debut lp, unknown to the unknown and hot haus main man dj haus returns to rinse for a brand new 10-track album, “artificial intelligence”. working at a formidably high rate of productivity, haus returns with this new record less than 12 months after his last, and he shows no signs of slowing down, maintaining his reputation for creating hard-edged dance anthems that leave a lasting effect on the dancefloor.

the second lp from grup has finally arrived, five years after his first release, which is today is totally sold out and very hard to find. 19 tracks in the pure grup ses style, a perfect blend of instrumental hip-hop and bass music, spiced by turkish-psych samples. the album s conception took three years in beyoglu, istanbul, where grup ses invited the best of the turkish beat-making scene, but also called for his european connections : gantz, fulgeance, coco bryce, nodul, biblo, elektro hafiz and many more contributed to make this release unique

glow worm/aloha ice jam is the third release from oflynn, and follows two sell out releases on blip discs. described by boiler room as one of dance music s most prosperous newcomers, oflynn is quickly establishing a reputation as a bright young talent and has already had his releases supported by ben ufo, gilles peterson, bonobo, pearson sound, bradley zero, joy orbison and four tet to name but a few. a-side glow worm was premiered by james blake on his bbc radio 1 residency show and showcases a contagious synth melody that is underpinned by a percussive house groove. in a similar way to both his previous releases, the flip side takes things into a whole new territory, and in this instance the infectious disco-tinged aloha ice jam takes aim squarely at the dance floor and doesnt miss

this is a 12inch single by shoebox, a previously unheralded blip on the electronic music continuum. they sometimes make music, but only when the moon is rising. mostly, they bide their time, inhabiting the shadowy space at the back of the cupboard alongside out-of-date tins of food, unloved christmas presents, forgotten records and misguided charity shop purchases

undoubtedly & massive early 90s revival techno. both tracks spanning on their own full sides between several themes each - unlike much of todays poorly produced and reduced retro dance music. two other parts of this collaboration will be released on klasse wrecks and grafiti tapes respectively. blip!

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears ! what a special one we have here on skylax classic! damien zala, the man who put out the superb album ‘lonely happiness’ on rowtag records in late 2012, who gets heavy support from the great theo parrish, dishes up six special tracks for our next release. before diving in, it is well worth noting that a selection of damiens album tracks had remixes by the likes of house icons such as dj jus-ed, rick wade and boo williams! if those names register even the slightest blip on your radar, which they should, then this record might be the treasure youve been searching for. damiens sampling technique has a certain air of grandeur to it. shake vibration makes this apparent right from the start with intricate layers of vocals, guitar licks and keys. all my respect and come around both follow suit whilst dizzie picks up the b side with a bit more energy and frenzy compared to what has come before it. the record rounds out with two tracks taking things a bit deeper. stay where you are drives forward with filtered pad chords that accompany jazzy sax and vocal cuts while conversely, z to the jz brings in a moodier vibe with its jazz samples and smoky drums. do not miss the chance to get such a gem of a record from damien zala!, c l a s s i c ! a must to have in every djs collection. essential item no digital

spider silk on the a side is a funky stepper of extreme darkness. its epic feel shall make it a hit on all techno, idm and dubstep dancefloors. 8 blip is a short straight tech stumbler with a kick drum as deep it will only be audible on proper soundsys- tems – which is where we want to hear those tracks anyway. litiv is a piece of rare beauty – simply amazing. lakker are a fascinating duo from dublin who have released on several labels and recently got dj support from none other than aphex twin.

teeds sound swings between overt musicality and scarily on-point dance floor intuition, tearing up gigs around the globe with his live show of bizarre instruments, glitter cannons and of course… dancing dinosaurs. beautiful blip and blop intro, touching vocals, and scathing drum beat break is the makeup of totally enormous extinct dinosaurs track, household goods. this is seriously good remix ep featuring mixes from justin martin, lone & 2 bears. dj support from erol alkan, annie mac & tayo.

the a-side remix comes from the man who is to blame for one of the biggest hits this year, >volta< . but his remix of >herr reporter< is even mightier! already featured on the official amnesia 2007 compilation. the tony senghore sound can be described as pugnacious, belligerent and slightly gung-ho - keeping the elegant xylophone part from the original version and turns into a piece of shuffled madness. previous remix work for artists like bodyrox, til west and audiobullys proves it to be working. apart from being a member of the berlin-based blip blop pop phenomenon slagsmålsklubben, din stalker is the moniker of hannes stenström when being solo. >herr reporter< is his best track to date, a perfect 8-bit electro workout
