we are thrilled to announce the first release of dubtil s long awaited very own label, called infrequent. expect heavy hypnotic minimal from one of romania s finest dj and producer.. infrequent : not generic

on an unassuming cassette, just labelled ‘robert rental’ in green dymo tape, these demos have lain unheard for years amongst his family’s treasured possessions, cared-for artefacts of a life cut short far too soon.
these songs, which robert recorded in his council flat in battersea in 1980, provide an enticing glimpse into his all-too-infrequent solo work. on most occasions, robert worked with thomas leer, daniel miller or other collaborators. these are rough recordings, tape hiss still in evidence, but his creativity shines through the murk, like uncut diamonds.

the next release on brazil s ever-promising disco steamer gop tun comes from renato cohen. cohen has been an infrequent mainstay of brazilian dance music for a long time now, most recently appearing on kling klong, tronic and 100% pure. his releases may not come around every day, but he makes them count when they do. -dynadisco- is a spaced out slow burner with a looped up groove and simmering pads building towards a powerful, funk-fuelled bass drop. -party jam- takes a lighter approach, keeping the samples sprightly and even sprinkling a little acid magic into the tune. it gives whatever/whatever plenty to be working on their remix, which spreads across the b side in a fit of electro-disco finery.

the dncn remix of san eco’s debut single finds him taking the track’s understated beauty and sending it drifting into cataclysmic chaos. the rolling bassline is swapped out for insectile swirling, the infrequent laid-back percussion for an upfront, energetic backline. it’s the ideal counterfoil to the original, minimising it’s heartfelt swooning melodies and morphing them into a crackling high-energy stomp. comes on a limited edition 7&#8243,,, vinyl with the original tune. don’t wait on it!

for her third outing on the german label jahmoni, marcelle is as inventive and unpredictable as ever. the four tracks on the wittily titled psalm tree ep go from wild techno to abstract dub, and all bear that undefinable marcelle touch of freedom and imagination, which sets the dj/producer so apart from almost all of her younger peers. the ever-travelling dutch lady, who was one of the highlights of this year s nyege nyege music festival in uganda, toys with musical styles and expectations, both live and in the studio she has always deejayed more or less like a musician. this was amongst others recognised by faust founder member hans-joachim irmler, who between 2008 and 2014 released 4 marcelle albums on his klangbad label.

we are excited to finally announce and share presentiment the second long player from the connection machine. this release is particularly special for us as it will be the first time in over 20 years that jeroen and natasja have put an album out on vinyl. despite having a string of aliased releases in the 90s on the mighty u-trax, a 12inch during the early days of carl craigs planet e, a remarkable album painless on down low music, and most recently a series of in demand eps with lost trax on tabernacle, their output has remained tantalisingly infrequent. with 12 tracks that capture their unique and awe-inspiring sound, presentiment opens you up to a world that only the connection machine have access to

two of paris’ most respected artists get together for their second collaborative extended player this year. dan ghenacia and chris carrier have been entrenched in the electronic scene in their hometown for a long while now, both men building a strong rep through consistently great music and dj performances. earlier this year they joined forces on ‘just a sin’, released via carrier’s adult only label, now they’re back with the follow-up on apollonia. across three deadly tracks, the duo explore their love of music making machines to the fullest – each track taking its name from ‘sweet heart’, translated into different languages. ‘schatzi’ works off a modular synth, bursting out of the blocks with a wobbly bassline which supports a range of subtle effects together with infrequent vocal clips. as the track progresses warm rising pads and female vocal snippets create an entrancing atmosphere. next up we get an arabian twist with ‘habibi’. a pervading air of mystery presents itself right from the off, with warped voices lurking in the background as the rhythm lures you into its murky groove. as the track progresses more eerie pads and effects are layered over the stepping bassline giving it a very creepy feel. finally, french vibes comes through with ‘cherie’ on side b. the track draws its energy from the busy, though crisp, percussive elements and a b-line that groans in unison with the beats. a simple chime remains present throughout, keeping it minimal yet interesting.

teamed up with running back for a vinyl release, bubbletease communications releases are defiantly infrequent, reflecting boss man maurice fultons desire to only release personal projects and those hes somehow had a hand in. given fultons track record, this approach guarantees a high quality threshold in truth, bubbletease releases are rarely less than excellent. this four-tracker from tokyo-based dj nori, co-produced by fulton, is predictably impressive.

brand new release on dn series, the infrequent downwards sub-label. killer broken minimal techno from the pope

nice price deal !!! the infrequent recording career of rob rives resumes with this chunky wave tec 12 which provides for twenty minutes of nice n crunchy electronic house, often verging on the techno side of things. melody attack takes a while to warm up, but once the miasma of jagged keys,grindy synths and clipped drums reaches their optimum level, things can only continue to climb. counter attack is a dubbier eleven minute excursion along the theme of the a side
