eye is back. metamujer marks the third installment on the knekelhuis label and we’re extremely happy to release this document of another chapter in laurène exposito’s life. recorded on various locations ranging from the swiss mountains to the chalky coasts of brittany, metamujer is an 8-track ode to salty love and closeness to nature, a tribute to a modest lifestyle à la henry david thoreau. far from being praise for self-sufficiency, this new lp is deeply influenced by laurène’s environment. we can hear korg ms-10 created synthetic waves (sanatorium) and birds (luscinia), but one can also catch her singing in italian, one of 3 languages spoken in switzerland. still minimalist and yet more aesthetically diverse, her new sounds are on the edge of ebm and synth pop, between classic minimal wave tunes and rustic ballads on acid.

afro-jazz from the godfather of malian music.

through the 80s and early 90s released albums that invoke the darkness of infinite space.

science city ist das zweite album des dream-pop-duos parekh & singh aus kalkutta und setzt dort an, wo ihr debütalbum ocean 2016 aufhörte. parekhs großartige vocals erheben sich über vintage-synths und singhs fröhlich-experimentelle percussion und erzeugen den frischesten und verträumtesten pop des universums. der himmlische soundtrack eines neuen indischen traums.

electronic percussion generates rhythms

jacks house makes its first move of 2019 with a third volume of various artist shenanigans pivoting around the crisp minimal house formula that has kept the label on track and in record bags thus far. rich nxt is feeling tracky and subtly spaced out on the heads down dubble, while politics of dancing comes correct with an insistent roller that finds its groove and stays there. julenns good company is a crafty, shuffling workout laden with deep chord pulses, and legit trips djedai- takes things in a freakier turn that should resonate perfectly with the after hours crowd.

brussels, monday 1 am. capital of a united europe, its inhabitants separated by cultural spheres along lingual lines. yet, in the back of a dimly lit pub they encounter one another surrounded by nocturnal buzz and the smell of skimpy beer. the night is a place where poets, authors and musicians dwell, in an attempt to leave everyday reality behind in favor of a universal nowhere in particular.

new knekelhuis output on 10 inch

shahrokh dinis beste maxi! definitiv! zwei ultimative smash hits. zunächst „change ein verheerend cooler (toughn‘rough) house tune mit techno kante und diesem aufpeitschenden gummi-elastischen synth-hook. super arrangierter killertune! dann auf der flipside arman, ein Überaus solider atmospherisch schöner deep house track. damit hat shahrokh dini uns und einige top djs angenehm Überrascht in die arme geschlossen.

new knekelhuis with sabla, job sifre, maoupa mazzocchetti, patricia kokett

after last years excellent discoveries from volume 1, another batch of lost and unreleased dutch (cassette) material is coming back to the future. for this sequel we dug deep into the dutch lowlands and again found some independent music thats still relevant today. in the process we met even more amazing musicians and heard great stories from a distant-not-so-distant past. expect a wide palette of diy and experimental sounds by artists from groningen, zwolle, arnhem, the hague, rotterdam, tilburg and deurne. volume 2 will also feature a beautifully designed inlay with liner notes in dutch and english. mastered by wouter brandenburg, designed by steele bonus and compiled by mark van de maat.

patricia koketts sound is shrouded in a veil of mysticism. the brainchild of lithuanian gediminas jakubka, diabel’s metallic heartbeat underlies a magical superstructure that evokes some kind of dmt infused trip. or possibly even some kind of ancient ritual, where one is intoxicated by serpents blood. guided by repetitive drum patterns, it creates a slow joint dance that opens the path towards transcendence.

emergent russian producer legit trip is the next up on jack s house, serving up four slices of sleek, crisply produced tech house to work across a variety of scenarios. -answer- keeps things simple and effective, letting the bassline take the weight of the track and keeping the beat locked on course for maximum dancefloor efficiency. -organic- has a lighter, more rolling feel to it that nods to the outdoor, day time terrace crew, while -what- has a deeper bump that yearns for dimly lit basement vibes. -you got me- has an easy going house flavour to it that should slot nicely into the warm-up, but don t be fooled - there s plenty of weight in that low end to do the damage at any time of night.

coming from different regions in france, violent quand on aime’s members have joined forces to canalize their energies into something truly essential. far away from hype and expectation they have created their own peculiar world. expect a certain electronic griminess with hints of 90’s hiphop, postpunk alienation and an affinity for musique concrète. the overall experience is similar to the excitement one feels when hearing something genuinely original. this mini-album is the follow-up to their very impressive 7” on le syndicat des scorpions.

don dini geht wieder an den start! composts langjähriger house-spezialist shahrokh dini überzeugt mit zwei wahren house sure shots, abgerundet mit eleganten remixes von karim sahraoui, loyoto (eva be und cle aus berlin). house- und hoflieferant der dj-spitzenriege shahrokh dini erfuhr in seiner langen karriere schon immer breiten support als dj und authentischer house-produzent. bereits in den 90ern hatte er releases auf strictly rhythm und mit etlichen releases auf compost black label geriet er seit jeher in die plattenkoffer von Âme, ron trent, jimpster, dimitri from paris, rainer trüby, sasse, laurent garnier und vielen mehr. Übrigens ist shahrokh nicht nur house produzent und -dj. er betreibt auch clubs und venues seit mitte der 90er, promotet von zeit zu zeit große musik-events, hat mehrere dj-residencies und besitzt auch seinen eigenen laden monk in karlsruhe.

meo, pseudonym of daniele mei, is a cosmic dj from rimini, italy. fine corsa was his first record, released in 1985. in those days meo was active in what was later considered to be the most famous afro dance club in italy: melody mecca. this release is an intensely creative hybrid of many styles and many colors. even up until the present day this record continues to be very important in some preeminent european clubs

the second series of jacks tracks va vol 2 presents 4 distinctively different tracks from both established and upcoming talent. first up on the a side is alex arnout from dogmatik records with hypersomnia, which is a tough rolling number with haunting subtle keys laid over the top. then a2, the talented tuccillo from unblock with his track another day brings a deep skippy house vibe with some cool vocal snippets over the top driven by its baseline. on the b side are more tech house flavours and fabric resident legend terry francis presents jua which is a timeless house number previously unreleased , now signed and ready for an official vinyl release. last but not least, young new talent kilian vega with ardour, a groovy infectious rolling underground house vibe. in short, an ep with 4 strong individual tracks from sincere and dedicated music makers.

east londonder sukh knight has remained one of the most consistent dubstep artists over the past decade, through a long list of releases on hench, true tiger and new world audio among other record labels.
the scorpion ep remains on level, boasting a variety of heavy bass music styles - from the gritty dubstep sounds of the title track, the digital bonus foot soldiers and first contact, to the anthemic 93bpm roller creation and finally dj madd’s percussive, deep 160bpm remix of scorpion. a well-rounded bass music record for the heads - don’t miss.

job sifre is one of the guys bringing new blood into the amsterdam scene. this is the follow-up to his recently released debut on the new artifical space label, where he continues his path of solid ebm fueled electronix. the record ends with the gorgeous at least we try, showing of his more tripping, rhythmic side. beautiful complementary artwork by stefan unkovic.

celebrating a year since the birth of jacks house recordings is the perfect time to introduce jacks tracks va series. volume 1 includes tracks from established and new talent with two diggers from france with previous release head trip on the label plus releases on djebali, organic and more, 2vilas (wax igsud) from ibiza also with releases on organic and isla records , james dexter (inermu) from the uk with releases also on cyclic, dessous and poker flat. last but by no means least, miffy & miller (real gang) also from the uk with a previous release on in haus wax. a 4 track ep of solid underground house tracks from dedicated talented music makers.

new york city based further reductions is the live project from husband and wife shawn (aka vapauteen, 400ppm, let er est) and katie o sullivan (aka rose e kross, ppg). back in 2014 they released their gorgeous debut album on cititrax records. the album was an adventurous trip, where they pushed forward a unique sound. after all those years there will be a follow up to this ep on knekelhuis. expect a fusion of different sounds, grimy and pretty at the same time.
