• follow up release to last year s side project by uk producer shifted
• full colour mira jacket design from silent servant...
revealed last year as a side project by uk producer shifted, covered in sand now returns with a new ep: crescent shaped scars will be released on the sister label of his own avian imprint mira, which serves as an outlet for the more experimental and duskier side of electronic music. the release features three abrasive noise workouts. thud of drums and ritualistic rhythms define the opener luarica on the a-side alongside a near-melodic whine that stays present throughout the tracks. orapa (an interview) on the flip swallows and evokes scuffed voices of a conversation, striving into isolation, while venetia resumes the haunting rhythm and layers of distortion. as per previous mira releases, the artwork is done by juan mendez aka silent servant

stunning 10 inch / 7 inch doublepack from the mira camp feat. a vatican shadow remix... full colour, stickered picture sleeve designed by silent servant aka juan mendez the third release on avians sister label mira unveils a new project from shifted under the name covered in sand, an alias set up to explore more extreme sonic territory.

one would be curious as to what a track such as this one would sound like. images and visuals floating through your head as you press play, the airy, angelic pad intro induces you into a trance-like state before soothing piano lines and a pitched-up vocal reminiscent of the early hardcore era takes you away. as the drums come in with a half-time feel, it is easy to imagine japanese taiko drummers playing their part. once the break takes hold, a short span of melodic heaven uplifts before the drums take control again.

fantastic first release from the all star egyptian cast of rakete. every shade of techno covered for the mind, body & soul.

van abbes fresh no comment release presenting 2 originals, a killer remix by the exaltics and a debut track by pantone 32. it wasnt until she opened the old pocket watch – its timeworn silver surface glimmering slightly in the darkness – that she understood that something was terribly wrong. it was audibly pounding in her hand like some kind of bizarre metal heart. and it was decidedly running backwards. she could not move and she could not take her eyes off the spinning indicators. >stop<, she whispered. then again, louder this time: >stop!<. the watch stopped and fell silent. she exhaled and moved uneasily on the spot. the floorboards creaked. wait. the floorboards? there werent any floorboards in her room. it was all concrete and glass and…. her room wasnt there anymore. she was standing in an old workshop brimming with ancient-looking machinery covered in sawdust. no-one was operating the equipment but their ghostly echoes were still floating through the air, buzzing, hammering, humming – almost melodic to her ears. the pocket watch came to life in her hand, acting as a steady metronome to the spectral orchestra. she wasnt home anymore. but it certainly was.

straight functional techno tunes

hailing from nashville, tennessee - a city better known for being the cradle of country music, jaundice and dzee form the backbone to the future dz duo, which has way less to do with johnny cash than with the hague sound, and their latest offering for the label they help co-run, tram planet records, although tracing rings of fire in its wake, further ratifies that lineage.
a shape-shifting collection of post-apocalyptic detroit electro and squelchy acid grooves sieved through filthy filters - perfect to play in your muscle car while speeding the highway at night, splint mask finds the duo at their most epic and unhindered. premiering today through our channels, sawed off is a high-octane 303 fuelled racer blazing with a hint of unit moebius weirdness and off-the-cuff rugged hardware spritz. if you like your electro scruffy, grinding and aggro like we do, future dz have you covered. get in the zone and feel the burn, you’re in for a treat.

official remastered, reissue of two of esther phillips’ breathtaking covers from the early ‘70s. firstly, esther’s cover of gil scott-heron’s timeless masterpiece ‘home is where the hatred is’. a haunting tale of addiction filled with the rawest of emotions, that can only truly be covered by someone who has fought that same battle with dependency. the pain in esther’s voice completely conveys this vulnerability and does gill scott heron’s original total justice. heart-wrenching and completely absorbing in its honesty, it’s a sincere portrayal of the demons both artist’s faced in their lives. on the b side, an adaptation of eddie floyd’s ‘i ve never found a girl (to love me like you do)’. phillips’ trademark soulful tones suit this sweet serenade so well, with the passion oozing from every word she sings. sit back, relax and prepare to have your heart melted all over again.

silicone soul welcome the return of old friend justin robertson as he brings his much loved deadstock 33s project back to darkroom dubs. last spotted on the label only a matter of weeks ago with infinite interchange on the darkroom dubs presents summer love collection, here he builds on the momentum with two more singular missions deep into the timeless analogue abyss. whats more, they come covered with a print of one of justins very own hand-drawn pieces. dr. spectro on the frontier marks the start of this new deadstock trip. celebrating the lesser spotted dc super villain who could control people’s emotions with a brazen line or two of sinewy acid what starts off dark and gnarly gradually unfolds into a much more emotional narrative. watch out for the harmonic riff that rekindles feels of raving fields and a salvo of chords towards the climax that genuinely will control your emotions. the music is madness (to those who cannot hear it), meanwhile, is more than just a poetic title. already a summer anthem at a love from outer space, it s a roomy, cosmic affair that’s laced with layers of trippy textures and chugs at a cool 120. its one of justin’s classic signature smouldering sessions, what ostensibly seems forlorn and introspective is actually coded with deep hope and positivity. youd be mad not to hear it. youd be mad not to stay tuned too. for the first time in darkroom dubs history, this release and all this years vinyl dispatches will be released digitally as part of an end of year compilation, tales from underground vol. 1 and will also feature an exclusive silicone soul remix of rigopolar & cannibal inks thousand years before. and to round the year off? the long-awaited new single from silicone soul themselves.

big crown records is proud to present another tough as nails split 7”!
the a side is a killer and well sought after reissue of the sonics “find myself another girl”. a tune that lands in one of our favorite sub genres - happy break up songs. the sonics rip into it with a dance floor friendly drum beat covered in uplifting horn arrangements, singing the tune of someone who is relieved to be out of a relationship gone sour. a proper dance floor burner sure to be in all the soul dj boxes. the b side is a never before released version of the classic and often covered “spooky”. taken from the original master tapes and edited down to fit a 45, this is the first time this tune is seeing the light of day. texas outfit s.c.a.m. takes the tune on a proper journey, easing into it on this 45 edit and finding their way through horn crescendos and dropping down to drums bass and rhythm guitar. an easy favorite version of the hit tune that collectors will love to get their hands on.

remixes from alexi delano+fredy grogan! on the latest release from make mistakes, roy england and friends take us on a ride into the beautiful, soulful depths. from uplifting love jams, to the chunkiest house funk, as always, the gang has you covered. roy england’s original mix soars through the night skies. pitter-patters, emotive pads, and a driving groove bring us the softer side of our little boogie baron. perfect for the euphoric abandon of a sweat soaked dance floor. alexi delano, a man who needs no introduction, kicks things up a notch, taking the original and giving it a restructured, pumping groove. a dubby line runs through, with echoing pads, a pulsing bass, and fluttering keys and synths. a beautiful dance floor meditation, with plenty of junk in the trunk. fredy grogan takes a hard left, and steps confidently into a psychedelic, tribal funk. teasing new vibes out of the original material, grogan transforms beauty in rhythm into a classic house groove, before settling us in to a hypnotic groove. make mistakes keeps on keepin on. thats all we know.

the debut album of this young french producer is a sonic kaleidoscope ranging from laid back grooves and soundscapes to massive basslines and uplifting synths for your dancefloor pleasure. it reflects a time span of three years while he was traveling the world and meeting the right people at the right time. these ten tracks are like a postcard series of ideal moments he lived during that time. for the vinyl heads we compiled a four track ep as outlined here, including an edit by label honcho noema. the best thing, we got you covered! the vinyl edition comes with a download code for the complete album to enjoy this trip in its full length.

in addition to his debut release on vanila, enigmatic artist expropriation comes out once again from his hole in athens to bring with him two slow , long and filthy tunes. inspired from the 80s and 90s cult mythology, western horror and leto deliver the boogie and new beat vibes into the new era , covered from grungy industrial textures.

the pale and the colourful is the first album of internazionale presented on vinyl by posh isolation after a near flood of limited tape releases both through his own remarkable janushoved label and through posh isolation. the pale and the colourful is a logical summary of internazionales work up to this point and is the prime example of the sensual synthetic meditations he has come to be known for.
the clear pop sensibility to his compositions are clouded with noises and ambiguous field recordings and it is somehow hard to really figure out if the music intends to lift us up or hold us down. what is certain is that no internazionale release up to this point reaches the level of this new album.

the canadian duo of gremlinz & jesta present their debut ep for metalheadz, a 4-tracker full of energy, emotion, progression and creativity. all corners are covered with the ethereal atmospherics provided by ‘nessus, the weighty and assertive sounds of ‘departed, the delicate and graceful nature of ‘the drift (which also features rumbleton), and the title track closing the ep administering a dose of funk to the release.

this is a debut release on vinyl for spanish based jordi navarra whose musical oeuvre stretches between “surf, hippie / space rock and crude electronic music” often different yet coated in tons of reverb and echo for “it’s final catalepsy”!
“micromundos,” needless to say for py devotees, concentrates on his cruder electronic soundscapes, incredible often ambient, drone themed pieces that on one hand dip their toes into the revered works of hans-joachim roedelius and dieter moebius, and the sky back catalogue whilst equally conjuring up a collision of spacemen 3 psych meets wire, early cabs or magazine darker more atmospheric, post punk industrial / experimental workouts.
eight abstract, kosmische fuelled pieces that act as an interesting sister release to the label’s other july offering, the more overtly “in-yr-face” synth pop themed mitra mitra lp.

songs about the unity of sudan, peace between muslims and christians and the fate of war orphans, backed by grooves equally taking influence from arabic sounds, american funk as well as neighboring ethiopia. kamal keila was among the first artist we met in sudan during our two trips to khartoum and omdurman last year. he is one of the key figures of the sudanese jazz scene that was a vital part of the musical culture in sudan from the mid 1960s until the islamist revolution in the late 1980s. when we meet kamal he luckily presented us with two mold covered studio reels. each tape included five tracks. one with english lyrics and another with arabic ones. musically you can hear the influence of neighboring ethiopia much more than on other sudanese recordings of the time, as well as references to fela and american funk and soul. his lyrics, at least when he sings in english which gave him more freedom from censorship, are very political. a brave statement in the political climate of sudan of the last decades, preaching for the unity of sudan, peace between muslims and christians and singing the blues about the fate of war orphans called shmasha. a note inside one of the boxes specified the track titles, durations and the fact that the sessions were recorded on the 12th of august 1992. both sessions stand as a hearable testament how kamal keila stuck to a sound aesthetic from decades ago, while incorporating current events into his lyrics. kamal keilas album is the first in a series of releases covering the sudanese jazz scene on habibi funk. be on the lookout for albums by the scorpions and sharhabeel coming soon.
