this one has been a long time coming. great 12”s never get shelved at lddlm, time is not the essence. benedikt frey has been part of the extended family since his remix of car’s idle eyes and we crossed paths a few times at robert johnson in frankfurt. init, his project with his other half nadia d’alò, has seen releases on neighbours such as hivern or correspondant, our door was naturally open to their pretty personal brand of “off-kilter techno” as ra says. stereometric is almost a definition of init’s acid mind. failing their own tricks, heavy atmosphere and unusual restraint. nuts is almost an instrumental extension of the title track, when your head finally hit that window pane. wheels slows the rush down, wandering on an imaginary khyber pass. this is only deception though, mindwork being a real exercise in post-goa trance. hope you enjoy the trip. see you after the summer.

phillys double exposure have undoubtedly earned the title of disco legends, their music has long been part of the heartbeat with numerous classics under their belts. their mighty release ten per cent was the first commercially issued 12 single and subsequently ushered in the notion of the format as a go to in the clubs and among djs. originally thought of as a fad in a world where the 45 was king, this 12 release unknowingly changed the direction of dance music and music promotions practically overnight. disco history indeed.
originally release in 1978 this fresh new press sounds amazing and will be a welcome addition to the collection of those into seminal jazz funk albums. ‘take a look at yourself’ is a powerhouse jazz funk dancer featuring jackie holiday, who also does a great job of ‘don’t ask my neighbours’. ‘i heard that’ is a rare groove monster cover of quincy’s track, and ‘tea leaves’ and ‘i want to be somebody’ are also big dancers.

ARVET EP (180 G VINYL, HQ PRINTED OUTER/INNERSLEEVE)
12 Inch, 180G 06.03.17
music, cover and all creation comes from the woods of sweden. a place called studio cosmos. this is the home of marcus henriksson aka minilogue, son kite, nobody home. a place situated far away from modern cities and neighbours. it is here these frequencies comes from.
adelaide duo warren raww present a 12” that ups the energy of their july ep, whilst still delivering on their own brand of melodic, synth-laden house music. this time flanked by comrades arthur miles and freddie norwood, they add to the already high volume of talent currently emanating from australia.
the a side offerings shift between the more low-end driven aspect of warren raww’s production style, with off-kilter bass lines, punchy percussion and contemplative chord progression. the b side strips things back a bit further with a track each from arthur miles and freddie norwood. gliding pads, raw percussion, broken beats and rolling drums all melt together to deliver an essential slab of house music.
are there any aliens out there? (probably!) what would they think of the human race? do the people in power really care about us? what would they think of mass corruption from corporate companies and governments?..... but hold on a minute, are we decent to our own partners, families, neighbours, people in need of the essentials and those we work with? do the police, authorities, prisons, care homes and detention centres look after the vulnerable in the correct way? yo aliens!!!!!! you are probably more advanced than us as a race so you ve probably worked out ways of stopping inequalty, slavery, famine, war and other general shite. if so, get your self down here right now and show us the way!!!!!!
(7-inch) with their second vinyl release, hidden dragon, shetahr has become part of the kraak rooster. each song is a potential hit combining polished anger with naive childlike rhymes. be prepared, if you dare to crawl.
the third edible release comes from a producer weve admired for many, many years. a consistent and truly dependable master of the jackin groove since the late 1990s, brett johnson has flexed his musical muscle for some of our favourite labels. singles for derrick carters classic, dj sneaks magnetic, freerange and visionquest have been record box staples for eats everything over the years, so its a big fat hello and welcome to brett on the snack attack ep.
in 1996 paul birken released the classic and now rare as hens teeth surfin superior double 12inch on woody mcbrides communique label. this was to be a revered and respected record that influenced many and is still talked about and played today. now, some 19 years later he follows it up with part 2. nobody works as hard at getting human sounding chattering from their machines as birken and here he treats us to 8 massive cuts of grinding techno that are as humorous as they are danceable.
deo & z-man, the blood-brothers from hamburg, pulled off one of the most creative feats of last year with their debut album, no bullshit , with zero bs but plenty of inspiration, the pair melted together a range of influences with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humour for their underground opus. the remix lp to follow this ep solidifies their commitment to the eclectic, drafting in friends and family like lee burton, erobique and tigerskin to rework the magic.
hiding behind their three character website is a belgian duo called goldffinch whose steep vision of dancefloor techno marries loveable little phrases of awkward computer conversation with the kind of kick drums that will rattle the windows of your neighbours house when your soundsystem is tweaked perfectly. goldffinch may well be a duo bent on keeping things simple but when the end result, which is built out of such minimal layers, is so arresting, there’s no need to change the formula. not one bit.
if ever there were more committed and fervent neighbours within the house and disco community today, then house of disco records would be flying the flag loud and high in the front garden for all to see.

italian musician, sound designer and dj based in venice, where he fights a reckless war against his winged neighbours: the infamous pigeons of st. marks square, who sometimes try to sabotage williams already unstable vintage synths. bottins sound is a blend of seventies disco, early eighties electro, italian giallo movies atmospheres and can be roughly defined as horror disco. among his collaborations: stevie kotey (chicken lips, bear funk), makossa & megablast, richard dorfmeister... bottin already released on bear funk, italians do it better, and after his contribution to the cosmic balearic beats vol. 1 compilation, this is his real 12 inch debut for eskimo.
