the kachiri remix ep features a varied selection from some of the finest. kicking off with tronik youth who takes the title track and reboots into a harder darker groove, pushing the synths to breaking point. man power ignites a fire on the dancefloor with real bass and spacey chords. ivan smagghe creates an off kilter eclectic groove with a different energy. jamie patton dubs out pink ghost with a twisted and warped groove that takes it to a new cosmos. whilst, kasper bjorke takes us down to the sea with his love vibes and tropical rework of volupia. craig bratley adds his dark synths and toughened grooves for late night dance floors. two mamarrachos lead us on an epic 11 minute journey with their massive pink ghost funk groove.

the first in a series of vinyl and digital releases from the invisible cities collective (i.e.: luca c & brigante + cosmic guests). moments in between brings back the folk vocals of zeben jameson (a mountain of one) and the release includes a remix and a dub from ivan smagghe. the original would fit perfectly on a baldelli cassette. electronic piano grooves and vintage drum machines support zebs soaring vocals throughout before a classic drum machine break and future space jazz outro. check morning sun from invisible cities first ep (2011) for more z. jameson

colors, the east-london party collective has been on a roll as of late, with a spate of successful events that have taken them across europe to berlin, istanbul and barcelona to name a few countries. as the name suggests, each event draws inspiration from the colour spectrum, with guests encouraged to dress up in a different chosen shade each night to get down to a soundtrack influenced by deep house, funk, disco and techno.

footprintz are on a rich run of form right now, showing a craftsmanship in their songs that is so often lacking in modern day dance music. new single favourite game is set to further buck this trend when it drops on december 3rd (general release).

really exited about this one, ana helder from argentina (comene) delivered here an nice and freaky oldschool mid tempo track,so nice.the first remix is by astro labs home cat timothy j fairplay, something between carpenter and andrew weatherall.then on the b side ivan smagghes remix is just amazing with some old synth and techno atmosphere. last one is frank west,our second collaboration,he turns the song into a solid booty dub song.

its a fine line between simple and easy
its a fine line between ideas and ideals
its a fine line between nu and new
its a fine line between disco and disco
its a fine line between tim paris and ivan smagghe ... and thats why they are walking it.

after the huge success of plastik in 2007, we now bring you the next bomb from leeds based, simon baker. >x, y & z< original mix bears all the characteristics of a typical baker anthem, rolling percussion bouncy bassline and intricate melodies weaving in and out of the groove complete with a huge breakdown of twisted keys and pads, simple you might say but ultimately effective.

throne of blood has been on a rampage of late. from our acclaimed ambient compilation moon rock volume one the the end scene lp from jokers of the scene and the debut single from the rapture’s vito & druzzi, we are on a musical mission and theres so much more in store

while this album could have gone down a rather obvious route, with the remixers of the asphodells album *ruled by passion…*, andrew weatherall looked a little closer to home.
mainly revolving around the axis - the group of locally-based producers who can be spotted in and out of weatheralls shoreditch studio bunker - reworkings from the likes of phil kieran, scott fraser, hardway bros, justin robertson and ivan smagghe soon came to light.
this idea lead to a broad range of styles with something for everyone. we have stopped arguing in the office about which is the best track. they all are.

crosstown rebels get set to unleash the power of the model feat. my favourite robot with a vampish feast of 80s proto-house in -still in my heart- followed by a playful epic rework from ivan smagghe and a dose of warped late night techno courtesy of two mesmerising brett johnson remixes. the model makes a storming entrance into the crosstown camp with the original of -still in my heart- spinning a circus of 80s inspired melodies, rave synths, techy bleeps and stabbing bass. my favourite robots soul-penetrating vocals nonchalantly weave a darker thread through the dizzy heights of electro stylings supplying a vein of moody romance

ultraphat remixes by massi dl and ivan smagghe !! following the huge success of the original >i’ll lick your spine<, released on soma’s sublabel pnuma in 2007 let’s go outside (lgo) has gone from strength to strength. with his critically acclaimed album ‘a picnic with the hunters’ lgo explores everything from nearly silent ambient to the most destructive of techno, and all that lies between. smagghe delivers a freaky remix of epic proportions. massi dl s remix tears apart the original track and pieces it together like a picasso, disjointing the vocals over a bed of warped textures.

incl. ivan smagghe & tim paris mix !! techno anthem! huge support from tiefschwarz, oxia, miss kitten, agoria, john digweed, gregor thresher, laurent garnier, digitalism, jenifer cardini, mark knight, perc, kiki, tomboy, freeform five

als meisterliche fusion aus gitarre, synths und beats wurde das asphodells debuetalbum ruled by passion, destroyed by lust von der fachpresse bezeichnet. andrew weatherall und tim fairplay luden daraufhin freunde und nachbarn ein, darunter ivan smagghe, justin robertson und daniel avery, ihre eigenen interpretationen zu erstellen. das ergebnis ist eine elektronische exkursion voller ideenreichtum und stilvielfalt, die es dem hoerer nicht leicht macht, den besten track zu benennen, denn sie sind es alle.
