this is quenums first release on clapper!
a side: cargo
this track is techno with a touch of old school, but decidedly modern, not nostalgic. it s built on a groovy techno rhythm that quenum knows to do so well, with a recurring agitative sound that takes you one level higher. the earthy music, rooted by the feet in the ground, grabs the hips.
b side: ouidah
welcome to west africa and the port city of ouidah, home of the quenum clan. this track is classic quenum, clear-headed techno influenced by african rhythm, hypnotic percussions and inimitable touches that add warmth to the sober mix. this one is for the head, but without letting go of the hips.
dachshund and quenum will alternate their work on each release, so look out for the upcoming clapper 003 by dachshund. in the meantime, check out this track and enjoy the show!

the first release on clapper is by swiss dog dachshund. a side: patte d oie is the name of a neighborhood in dakar, senegal, where dachshund was hanging out back in the days. this track is infused with the sounds of cora, a west african guitar, and wrapped in a heavy drum-kick that fluctuates from highs to lows, creating a hypnotic bass line. b side: bread. the second track is a smoother work that keeps us going with a steady rhythm, airy yet solid like a cloud that cannot evaporate

fantastic story of a lost alien visiting planet earth and being introduced to club culture by a girl. the story continues and - as usual when it comes to ghettotech-lyrics - things get explicit.. on the flipside we have jesper dahlbäck on a remix tip, transfoming the whole track into a stomping, straightforward primetime context!

the foundation of this dub album was created by some of the finest sessions musicians ever to grace the studios of 1960s & 70s jamaica. their instruments were the cornerstone to countless dub lps that began to surface in the early 70s and continued on into the 80s creating a whole new genre of music. as they did back in the early days of dub, the kingston all stars gathered together in kingston, jamaica at mixing lab studios and laid down a series of riddims that would lay the groundwork for what comes next: the singers. both greenwich farm rasta, prince alla, and falsetto, cedric myton of the the congos, contribute vocals to the album but half of the riddims on this lp are, to date, unreleased, and have yet to be voiced. in essence, this album is a sneak peak into upcoming releases. the style of riddims that were created during these sessions range from the cumbia influenced reyes dub to the ethiopian jazz flavored kebra dub that pays tribute to the african sound system, kebra ethiopia sound and shows the wide variety of influences that fuel these musicians. tracks like dub ova combine ansel collins keyboard work with hux browns infectious grooves to create a funky rhythm that you have not heard the last of.

heres the next holger bundle coming in another stylish tote bag. the bundle is made up of holger 4, 5 & 7

on his second installment for holger, weber further expands the sounds and themes introduced on his debut eins (holger 4, 2014). adequately entitled zwei, it documents webers development and growing confidence as an artist. combining influences from early krautrock and minimal music to contemporary dance sounds, weber shows a refreshing appetite for experimentation and free form song structures. given these parameters anything seems possible: from the post-techno of sklt via the anti-pop of the bug to the spaced out b1 / warten and its ghostly dub companion no4

bristol s kamikaze space programme joins the trust family with a blistering ep of industrial bass music. stokes croft opens with none other than prolific ninja tune artist emika as a guest, whose haunting vocals turn choke into an ear-catching hybrid of industrial bass electro and gothic pop. three percussive bangers further elaborate chris jarmans philosophy of crafting hard-edged beats from found and self-recorded sounds rather than worn and tired presets, head-strong, futuristic, and ready to obliterate stylistic stagnation with sonic innovation

phantasma one is the first 12?,, of our second compilation, featuring”clapper” by tobias. and efdemin s “hope”. we are astonished and thrilled this split ep doesn t even sound like one but is of beautiful consistence and adequacy. “clapper” hypnotizes from the first second with a straight forward percussion rhythm which curls inescapable upwards even in the mind of an inattentive listener, pushing ahead with classic machine drums driven with a both glaring and harsh attitude. the crystal surface of efdemin s “hope” is woven into a plait of swelling basses and enriched with extensive spins of snare rolls and precious carpets of highlighted chords which seems to rise out of the drums which carry the whole track with slick efficiency. without a doubt this vinyl will be in every record case for a long time. grab your copy as long as there are some.

brill hypnotizing jackin remixes by martin landsky

electro-funk outfit from detroit returns with the second album. a true masterpiece that spans a full variety of minimal techno, dirty p-funk, raw hip-smart booty beats and relaxed downbeat electronic grooves - all spiced up with a healthy portion of humor, cartoon sexuality and the search for the perfect booty

the music contained in this album invokes the vibes and spirit that were so crucial to much of the music recorded during the 1960s & 70s in jamaica. if you talk to the musicians and singers of this era, they will tell you that the driving force behind the songs they created was the sheer love of music. this is one of the reasons these recordings are so powerful and move listeners to this day. music like this can only be made by those who were schooled in the studios and yards around kingston and is not something that can be easily reproduced outside jamaica. the kingston all stars represent some of the most legendary musicians to ever grace the little island & it is thanks to their passion and dedication that we have a lifetime of music to enjoy.

pianos have featured in house music since day one. there s just something about the combination of looping piano chords and a skipping house groove which works so well. in contemporary dance music the piano still remains intrinsically linked to house, though it was in the late 80s and 90s that the true piano house classics were created. we took it to our hearts. the emotionally charged piano riff became a defining motif of uk dance music. producers knew they only had to alight upon a suitably uplifting three-chord piano hook in order to unleash a tide of misty nostalgia for rave s halcyon days. ministry of sound are proud to present piano house classics.
