momentum is back with another huge minimal-techno release.
supported by richie hawtin, troy pierce, barem, magda, ...

the tracks are already gracing the decks of the likes of jeff mills, laurent garnier, carl craig, richie hawtin, and claude young among many others. lawrence and lenny burden, announce the release of their new single, >i need release<€,b/w >here comes the push<, on their own reborn label, 430 west records. collaborating once again with ann saunderson (the vocalist on their hit single >blackwater<, 2002), and mc p.gruv (from their >the theory of everything< album, 2004), the brothers have produced a dance floor heavy double sided single. >i need release< blends anna s angelic vocals with the burden s signature rough and tumble production style, while >here comes the push< takes a percussion driven ride off the edge, with p.gruv as your guide. this project leads to the release of octave one s first studio album in four years, >summers on jupiter<€,(september 2008), also on 430 west records.

somedaysblends chunky peaktime beats, great percussion, stellar string arrangements, and a wandering bassline behind another sublime vocal performance from ann saunderson. 3 mixes to choose from here, and every one is a winner, so better stock up on this before it gets as huge as blackwater

purple print returns stronger than ever with their 2nd various artist compilation! a great follow-up to the already amazing first edition.

electronic tracks by mastermind ferdinand domes

das fünfte album des uk-indie-rock trios gleicht einem befreiungsschlag: schöne und trotzdem unkonventionelle songs treffen auf improvisationen und experimente.

a new line (related) is the latest venture from lancashire-based andrew johnson (hood/remote viewer/moteer). utilising tools from the early days of home produced underground dance music (such as sk5 sampler keyboards and vintage drum machines) andrew has unearthed a beautiful album of downbeat, lamp-lit techno, industrial grade ambience and sonic experimentation which at times recalls early warp records, gescom and raw, 313 area beatdown house, as well as the more modern breed of electronic and techno travellers such as actress, mark fell (late period) and even theo parrish (the slow sound of your life).
the double vinyl lp includes a downloadcode for the full album.

detroit house at it best, a must have !!

a pleasure to have these guys on our 2nd release. sdt002 comes with 4 tracks by ra.pu & unknown / jerome.c / nekow & lamalice / octave. limited to 350 copies / 180g black wax / vinyl only.

the new desolat x-sampler comes as a 2x12 inch package with eight tracks, and includes a download code that gives the buyer those eight tracks in digital format, plus another six digital tracks. in keeping with tradition it features a combination of artists who have already graced desolat before and artists who make their debut on the label.
