undefined is back and extending the legend saga with the highly experienced, creative genius todd sines. todd began creating music in the late 80’s, ranging from post-punk and industrial, to techno and house. while digging through his material on discogs, one can easily notice the great variety of sounds he has developed throughout the years, using multiple aliases like .xtrak and enhanced.

a legend to those who know, todd sines makes his first appearance on circus company in a fit of sharp-edged, wildly expressive house music that harks back to the unhinged early days of the label. sines has a career that stretches back to the early 90s, having released lauded records under the .xtrak moniker on peacefrog and 7th city amongst other legendary labels.

earlier this year, todd sines inaugurated yore with the slamming techno-funk of the .xtrak release back_up ep and now returns for round two with dont stop. without losing the stripped-down, minimal tech-house funk essence of the .xtrak sound, sines ups the acid-house ante considerably in the new material. the old-school title cut makes an immediately vivid impression by repeating the insistent vocal hook >dont stop<-both command and mantra-over a towering backbeat. >cut to the chase< does exactly that with funky handclaps and syncopated swing, while the b-sides low-riding >unreflect< pairs dropouts and bass-crawling boogie. slightly different in character, the squiggly acid-techno track >quantum mechanics< is as precision-tooled as its title suggests. despite the subtle shift in stylistic emphasis, dont stop offers a splendid complement to the earlier release

new release from lanoiraude, after numerous releases on his own imprint missive records. first extract from his up and coming album out on dialect…. including a wicked todd sines rmxk.

supported by dace clarke, claude young, john thomas, pacou, vince watson, dj shufflemaster !!

double touch are van-anh nguyen and mark olsen from australia.

nice price deal !!! titonton duvante s residual imprint has long been considered one of the most respected house-leaning labels in the game. over the course of the past two decades, the ohio-based label has housed works from some of the scene s foremost players, with the likes of boo williams, john tejada, demarkus lewis and volcov among those who ve repped the tight-knit label with distinction. the label s latest is another high point for all concerned. a v/a featuring the works of duvante & andreas saag as well as garrett david, todd sines (under his .xtrak alias) and fym, it s a wonderfully varied and exciting release that speaks volumes of the label s ability to consistently churn out top drawer house music.

red hot drum lead track backed by boiling point late night to early morning long haul truck driving or dancing music. shazam! vital sales points: drum track playing loudly the saws and sines have aligned! its how007 time. the release in front of your face is called the 417. it is three songs by daniel savio released on 12? vinyl strictly limited to 200 copies + an everlasting (well see how that works out) digital version of those same songs. this recording was conjured up on machinery people are known to touch and sell. mk1 menu diving desktop stuff. stuff that is ten years old, stuff that may be older. stuff that purrs, rocks, bounces and skates. machine prototypes on trade show floors will not be able to make songs like these. unless you would hand them to daniel which would lead to all sorts of inconsistencies in time. last year daniel savios race to the bottom and his plejjern från plejaderna album took swedish house music by storm. it is now with great delight that we hand you this 12?, acclaimed by well-informed djs. music centred around feelings for what is in front of our faces at the moment. how007, get in while you can.

89:ghost is on fire at present, having thrown down killer releases from todd sines, logic system and tomoki tamura over the past year. tommy vicari jnr is a great addition to the roster, bringing a freaky, wobbly and distinctly hi tech approach on all that matters that will have party people freaking out in a whole new way. things at night takes a completely different approach with its focus on delicately chopped up piano hooks. tlk 2 me wt yr bdy flips the script yet again with a roughneck, ardcore sound palette and some filtered house elements riding atop a booming low end. likely story finishes this varied ep off with a cheeky garage house strut that will have just as many fans as the other killer jams on this well rounded record.

in their fifth release, dc label partial magic welcomes four friends and producers from the knoxville, tennessee based collective teknox. alex falk opens the record with an upbeat slammer, looping cocky vocal samples over brash, noisy textures sure to please those familiar with his sound. second on the a side, saint thomas ledoux follows with an introspective track perfect for building or releasing dancefloor tension. on the b side, nikki nair brings back the raunch with a cheeky breaks-and-bleeps acid track. dialectic sines closes out the record with an ethereal cut backed by a hypnotic, tropical electro-techno groove.

helic.al, the new label from todd sines + charles noel / archetyp, functions as an constrained exercise to break from restrictions. instead of the obvious new electronic dance music label that would be expected of these seasoned producers, helic.al turns history on its ear, resulting in collaborations new and old. the debut album from interval, featuring bassist andries boekelman, sines on vocals, guitar, synths & engineering, noel on drums and percussion, steps outside the comfort zone of endless tracks and overdubs from a digital workflow, tracked to 8-track tape, and mastered direct to lacquer by josh bonati, with no computers in between. future releases include crash course in science s michael zodorozny and todd sines as i/tmsz, soviet s amanda berkowitz and alyssa barrera as artefactos de dolor, möthersky, excepter s ssps & gramma, and is in discussion for releases from robert görl of deutsch amerikanische freundschaft, graham lewis of wire, dome and he said, and stephen mallinder of cabaret voltaire / wrangler, for a follow up to his seminal 1982 release, pow wow

alien jams presents planet bangs, the 4th album from nochexxx, following on from 2015s dirt-driven apocalyptic electro jaunt plot defender (type recordings). this six track lp plants another stick in the mud, showcasing the producers love for oddball tape-saturated electronic delirium. planet bangs is clearly an ecosystem in distress..., metawitch s clanging rocks paves the way for creepy unsettling yelps and 303 squelch - an acid drenched broomstick joyride over mounds of rolling subs and hilly sines-waves - on stickshift, straight-jacketed conga loops barely spit enough voltage to hold pace, like a sputtering raymond scott machine in respiratory collapse. wafting familiar smoke signals originally lit by 90s era warp and detroit techno, overhound springs out the trap with a booty bounce towards the finish line. artwork by zeke clough. 180g vinyl, mastered by rupert clervaux.

a selection of todd sines s earlier works under the enhanced moniker - 250 copies pressed only!

red ember records is still legendary in certain circles despite shutting up shop 15 years ago. after some time out of the public eye, though, ewan jansen himself is still very much in business, and here he is with four brand new cuts on his debut for chez damier’s inner balance label. after the appropriately pastoral intro to ‘harvest’ we dive headlong into a flurry of vibrant, detroit-influenced programming of the kind kept alive all these years by rei loci and kirk degiorgio. ‘sines of life’ takes a well-earned breather on the flip, its laid-back setting and all-enveloping bass a massage for the weary body and soul. finally the mood turns playful on ‘square dance’, the chopped, breaksy and off-key groove completely at home alongside uk technicians norken, herbert and ben nevile. it’s rare for people to stay on their game for this long but, as this ep aptly demonstrates, ewan jansen is no ordinary musician.

lopasura again delves into picturesque soundscapes drenched in emotion and melancholy, illustrating a typically dystopian setting for its latest offering.

dj support from: hudson mohawke, spencer (numbers), mary anne hobbs, hxdb, dj ma1 (rinse fm), sbtrkt, subeena, sines, hackman, seiji, xxxy, greenmoney, spatial, deadboy, graphics, ben ufo and more widespread radio support (germany. italy, australia / nz, poland, france...)

incredilbe package with remixes by schatrax, kink, todd sines as .xtrak, kink and the subliminal kid. the result of schatrax take is a typically beautiful and deep reworking. todds remix of dodaso is typically fucked up and funky in true .xtrak style. kinks version of the gauntlet remains quite faithful to the original whilst also instilling it with his own trippy and unique style. last year peder mannerfelt, aka the subliminal kid, sent me a track which became the only track released on off-key through a demo submission. blackwood freestyle has mutated under the hands by the subliminal kid into a rolling dub inflected groover.

big with: laurent garnier, ame, dj deep, charles webster, titonton duvante, michael reinboth, dj cyril k, todd sines, chris duckenfield, .. yes, yes, yes!!! a smokin hot 3 tracker from domu. original quality underground housemusic all the way, a heavy package of kick, bass and atmospheres with a whole lot of finesse. raw baby and dusk is the perfect toy when it comes to primetime business (and we are talking serious deep bass) and you will definitely get ghostbumps all over when you tune into the mellow, but still movin, groover understand why. beautiful strings, synths and hooks. a summer anthem witch will fit your set like a screwdriver into the lock of a car! &#9786,, more on domu

francesco baudazzi, aka obtane, quitquitequick and sammy bellafonte was born 27 years ago in la spezia, a city of north italy. with his new label project zooloft he got positive feedbacks from people like andre crom, staffan linzatti, arnaud le texier. frankie, mossa, matt tolfrey, todd sines and the first zooloft release is supported by magda and troy pierce. future stuff under different monikers on new german label bretzel, equilibria records, synewave and leftroom’s sublabel left of centre.

cosmo anarchy vol.2 goes a little darker. two tracks with strong atmosphere still very funky and 1 sweet old school house track on the a2 make this ep very special. a mood in between daniel bell and christian vogel. for the a1 we have for the first time on the label a strong dubstep track! great dj tool. as for the b side it?s freaky funky techno, a dark and soulful dancefloor track! s-max comes back on telegraph with cosmo anarchy presented in 2 singles released in a row. each single is moody and souful - 3 minimal-funk tracks with killer groove! s-max productions differ between house (moodymann/ jovonn/ nugroove), minimal (dbx/ todd sines), crispy+funky (herbert/ ark/ perlon/ akufen/ morgan geist) and funky techno (christian vogel, tobias schmidt, neil landstrumm, claude young). generally influenced by classic detroit/ chicago/ early warp and the whole brighton- stuff.

watch out for s-max new project ?osmo anarchy? the vol.1 here has an old school chicago ghetto trax flavour all the way - 3 minimal-funk tracks with killer groove! the b side really stands out with this strong analogic house production track, the a1 and 2 are funky, strong grooves with freaky atmosphere in the following of boogizm? best releases! after the fantastic make somebody happy ep released in 2005, s- max comes back on telegraph with cosmo anarchy presented in 2 singles released in a row. both ep? are a blast for dj s! s-max productions differ between house (moodymann/ jovonn/ nugroove), minimal (dbx/ todd sines), crispy+funky (herbert/ ark/ perlon/ akufen/ morgan geist) and funky techno (christian vogel, tobias schmidt, neil landstrumm, claude young). generally influenced by classic detroit/ chicago/ early warp and the whole brighton- stuff
