"many electronic producers make music that sounds like the future. alavux is making the future and has carved himself a millennium head start. whilst many of his peers maintain a course along the kraftwerk or drexciyan trajectory alavux is committed to creating his own path; still drawing on the inspiration these great pioneers gave to so many, but choosing to adopt their pioneering spirit and innovation rather than their sound and track structures.
many a conversation has taken place about whether alavux is a maker of techno or electro. his discography tells you that he can pull off both very well and octagon shows you that both can be combined with explosive results. the sheer power and intensity of his grooves make each track a force to be reckoned with.
supported by dave clarke, billy nasty, igloo magazine, thomas h green (the arts desk), dj stingray umwelt and more."

with the celebrated return of dr. octagon (dan the automator, kool keith and dj qbert) in 2017 including their first-ever live performances fans are sure to keep gobbling up the space weirdness that first surfaced more than 20 years ago. get on down presents a unique picture disc, featuring the original octagon album artwork by the legendary artist pushead. the infamous doctor’s head and lower torso reach above and below the actual 45 rpm playing surface, as if trying to escape their two-dimensional status. on the a-side is a brand-new dr. octagon song, “octagon octagon,” which picks up where the original energy left off. it’s a dark and grooving glimpse into keith’s rubberband mind, jumping abstractly from line to line, chock full of equal partscharisma and dementia. on the flip is the song for which the group is most well-known, “blue flowers.” the version presented here is the amazing “prince paul’s so beautiful” remix, which first appeared on a mo wax 12” in the uk in late 1996. it was the first meeting of the two great production minds from different eras – dan the automator and prince paul would go on to collaborate many more times over the next decade, most notably as the group handsome boy modeling school. this is another great trophy for any self-respecting kool keith and dan the automator fan, combining the old and the new in triumphant fashion.

was haben dr. doom, rhythm x, dr. octagon, big willie, mr. gerbik oder black elvis gemeinsam? alles pseudonyme des hiphop-urgesteins kool keith. da kann man schon mal den Überblick verlieren, zumal der ultramagnetic mc s-mc sich auch noch in zahllosen kollaborationen verstrickt. einen künstlerischen höhepunkt erreichte er aber zweifellos als dr. octagon. und nun erscheint endlich moosebumps an exploration into modern day horripilation – das follow up album zum 1996 erschienen dr. octagonecologyst. zum ersten mal seit mehr als 20 jahren ist das dreamteam dan »the automator« nakamura, mc kool keith (keith thornton) und dj qbert (richard quitevis) wieder vereint.

driven by passion for quality music, easy tiger came to life in 2011. as a contemporary party series. it was born from the idea and the desire to offer something fresh to belgrade’s electronic music scene.
delving deeper into musical endeavours, marko nastic blends his essential quirky, modular soundscapes into two dancefloor oriented tracks. on his new vinyl only imprint, marko promises further explorations of the genre, octagon gate being the primary example of the abstract tendencies. the second side cut, monday surfing, brings some intricately programmed rhythms, keeping the dancefloor dynamics integrated with intricate synths and subtle pads. the first release on his own new easy tiger series is all about future thinking house music.

distant hawaii kicks into gear for the second half of 2016 with our first transatlantic artist joining in the shape of immense production and dj talent, garrett david.
already a prominent figure in the windy city scene via his residency at smart bar and working as a&r and in-house buyer at gramaphone records, garrett’s talents extend even further, right back to the lab, to the deep studio from whence all music grows.
his chicago-tinged-with-detroit blend of clean, yet warm and occasionally raw bumpin’ house tracks showcase a kaleidoscope of grooves backed by heavy-seated drum programming and glacial, almost-interspatial padwork.

having dropped his debut release for the very first release on cold recordings back in 2014, elmono returns to the imprint for a very welcome second outing with 4 alien cuts, blurring the definitions of house and techno in cosmic style.

the new generation can t be stopped.. another fresh new label with some ace tracks.. rhythm nation with terriers deliver three heavy and intense techno tracks ranging from raw (without getting harsh) to deep intense string loaded detroit rooted techno. no peak time techno tools, but tracks we ll play over and over. the pair spent the summer of 2014 under the tutelage of levon vincent, working on their distinctive and elegant sound that belies their young years.

anthony rother fügt die energiegeladenen detroitstrings-melancholien (- terazoid ) und den sequentiellen dauerläufer (- octagon ) zu einem unnachgiebig nach vorne gehenden cocktail der ekstase zusammen.

nice price deal !!! another critical release,following the deadly djs pareja single of last month. perfectly timed and cued after the recent raudive long-player on stefan goldmanns macro label. raudive is oliver hos darker, more new-wave operative, and these latest productions have caught the attention of the folks at history clock - and its a perfect alliance. the levels ep is a debased mix of sleazy, after-hours acid-dancehall with the icy cool of minimal, machine-music dynamics. essential, in a word.

its time to bring you the second release on this exciting new label. this time we move cross-country from the frozen north east of england home of mooncat, to the north west rainy city that is manchester, for more quality house music with great vocals. headz are two of the city s finest chararacters, dave muirhead & studio-partner kev carroll. big with danny tenaglia, dj vibe, deep dish, hector romero, satoshi tomiie wally lopez

bereits mit ihrem debüt fever to tell avancierten die yeah yeah yeahs vor zehn jahren zur neuen hoffnung der indie-rock-szene - insbesondere jener ihrer heimatstadt new york city. zwischen ihre mixtur aus rock n roll, post-punk und urbanem blues presste das trio um die charismatische performerin karen o einen großen brocken garagenrock und schuf so ein musikalisches konzept.

after the amazing view from above ep on frantic flowers we simply couldnt resist to do another project with this guy. detroit legend terrence dixon, the mastermind behind population one, is a genius in the field of minimalism and reduction. as a truly unique character from the early detroit techno era, always being true to his own style, this ep brings 4 new cuts in his typical and recognizable sound. minimalistic monotone rhythms and weird loop constructions, always with the right tension in place, sometimes topped off with spoken words. on the title track i program my computer right, a weird guitar loaded affair, terrence dixon is accompanied by ulandra & tiaria, supplying the vocals. again a very collectible release on frustrated funks harbour city sorrow!
