description: for our fourth record we re extremely happy to present the first ep of our limited series, made by the talented italian duo blue mondays. their -don t lie- has a lot of disco and funk influences, revisited in a classy house key: a perfect match between new and old school. in the b side we re so glad to have the house music pioneer from chicago: paul johnson. his version is more dub and raw, with some hypnotic disco samples and dirty snares that makes it so groovy. the other remix has been entrusted to the label owner alessio collina. he goes with his usual 909 groove, filtered samples and dreamy strings that reminds more some classic house records from the 90s

we re glad to say welcome to renè for our second wax. with his residency@circoloco in ibiza since years, he had the chance to play at some of the best gigs in the world. his track anything has a unique touch, with a lot of warm and deep pads that match perfectly with bassline, doing a beautiful atmosphere. renè on the keys never fails, that s what we say! alessandro di maria aka sossa is another italian resident dj of circoloco in ibiza. he worked with a lot of amazing artists like mass prod, quenum, subb-an and many more, especially with his own label garbant wave. his track toga is what we call a trip, ranging from minimal beats to deep pads and chords. certainly this one makes the right job in the warm up! we re happy to have the young talent giacomo trevi in the b side. with releases on claque, superfiction, etruria and more, his track voyage has a powerful 909 groove, with an old school pads and some detroit influences in the chords.

from to to souldful house ...

like all dj koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. in fact, it s a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. which is not to say it is utterly alien abstraction, mind. there is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia – there are even wafts of easy listening, lost crackly thriftstore record memories and... sort of... indie rock – but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it s going to do.

2x12inch with printed deluxe sleeve, 180g vinyl only

frankfurt based baile musik returns with cutting edge minimal techno grooves fused with hypnotic sounds and latin influence. basti grub? &?mike trend ?together with serbian veteran producer petar cvetkovic ?rounded up an impressive posse of producers who know how take their cues from these remarkable productions.

californian modular synthesizer and audio equipment producter tiptop audio is proud to introduce a new project for 2015: tiptop audio records. in the recent years musical productions have seen a remarkable return to the use of hardware through analog synthesizers and digital control interfaces. this trend has proven so strong that it prompted a rebirth of modular synths in a new format (eurorack). tiptop audio has made a name producing sophisticated but easy to use modules, designed to form a complete system that is especially effective for dance-oriented productions and live sets. tiptop audio records selected for its first issue some of the most groundbreaking artists using such systems, to present a range of artists who, through their tracks, explore the landscape of dance music in a very fresh perspective. these are the artists who inspire the tiptop team to make more innovative devices, which in turn make new music (a nice feedback loop).

prime are delighted to welcome chicago house legend stacy kidd to our roster, and with him is club busting label house 4 life. stacy, cousin of another chi-town legend (if you didnt know already), paul johnson, has been delivering bombs on wax for 20 years on seminal labels like dancemania, peacefrog, dust trax, ken lou, and yellorange, and house4life continues that trend of raw, stripped down, looped up, jacking chicago house that we all know and love. disco feet is a perfect ep to kick things off with 3 discofied jacking mixes from the man himself along with a remix from another chi-town favourite, this time female dj/producer sundance. supported by a plethora of the chicago massive and charted by maurice joshua.

joey negros tastemaking and scene defining disco-house label z records is proud to announce its next full-length release, namely a debut album from sean mccabe entitled *it s time*. it is an lp that bucks the modern trend and shows up many of its peers by being one that is made of wholly original material, sounds and ideas, rather than one that leans on tired and classic samples.

favouring the potential of techno as a vessel for shock and awe, curiosity records emerges with a focused intent and a powerful opening statement with this ep from one of the unsung heroes of french electronic music, arnaud le texier. having followed his heart throughout his career and always seeking to unlock the creative potential of minimalism in music, arnaud has traveled far and wide both as a dj and a producer before reaching this point here, where he heeds the call of long-serving parisian upstart skat in providing tracks for his new label. cry001 stands strong as a testament to the principles that make techno exciting, avoiding the popular trend of industrial brutality in search of a more spiritual message within the intense drum patterns and synth arrangements

check out the first remix ep from the album primavera big support by: ricardo villalobos, luciano, federico mollinari, loco dice, andre butano, felipe venegas, andre butano, aldo cadiz, tube & berger, dj sneak, guti, and more

the resopal theatre is raising its stage curtain for opening a hopefully hot summer season 2012. with our 82th release on vinyl we bring you basti grub and mike trend who - so far – are new to the resopal roster but definately no no-names. with releases on desolat and cocoon, basti from frankfurt / germany will definitely show his skills with 4 massive tracks on rsp082! all tunes are properly carrying the spirit of an hedonistic summer party!

typically commissioned to extend the life of a hot-selling single, culprit bucks the trend by delivering a remix package of gavin herlihy’s ‘endless feeling’ immediately after the ep release – a testament to the label’s faith in gavins work and the richness of its sound.

the revenge has quickly reached dizzying heights in recent years, conquering a style that escapes labeling and crowned the king of the edit.
this four track vinyl ep features tracks taken from his debut artist album titled >reekin structions< and each illustrates his talent for reinvention and reaffirms why he has become a spearhead for a new musical trend.

overview in the 1980s, as hip hop caught fire around new york, sparky d was coming up in the van dyke projects in brownsville brooklyn. she would go on to be one of the first recorded solo female rappers and rise to hip hop stardom. early in her career she was a pivotal player in what came to be known as the roxanne wars. it all kicked off with utfo s roxanne roxxane followed by roxanne shante s debut roxanne s revenge and then a salvo back at shante with utfo and a female mc known as the real roxanne. sparky d then started a trend that ran for what some say was over a hundred assorted answer records and nearly the rest of the decade by jumping into the roxanne trend with sparky s turn (roxanne, you re through). massive spins and sales throughout the city followed. the success of the cut lead to another handful of 12 releases, and this release, her proper full length debut this is sparky ds world,- produced by her boyfriend and old school legend spyder d. though the record didn t take off to the extent that her label mates boogie down productions found with criminal minded....well, what ever did take off like criminal minded. to this day the release serves as a testament to the power of one of hip hop s first female mcs, after all, this is sparky d s world. traffic entertainment group in partnership with b-boy records is proud to release this extended version of the album, out of print in any format for over 14 years. housed in a handsome 6 panel digipak featuring extended artwork and audio including all the 12-cuts, mixes and instrumentals from sparkys classic -throwdown- and -i can t stop- vinyl singles.

kode9s grasp on the throat of bass music in 2010 is almost unparalleled. his trend setting record label, hyperdub, is in its sixth year of viral contagion, hes become a published author on the theory of sound abuse and sonic frequencies being used as weaponry in his book >sonic warfare< and his production work has mutated from an almost simplistic marriage of beats and sine waves into a fusion of dancefloor ebonics and discordant synths!

when dial records started in 2000 with a bunch of friends highly inspired by deep house, detroit techno and cologne lovetunes, nobody of them ever thought about running a decent record label. the only concept david lieske, peter kersten and paul kominek had in their mind was never to be part of any proper record business, never to be controlled by any rule or trend, always to let the record label be a part of their love for music and arts. even the dial family was never intended growing that big, almost 70 percent of the artists on the first compilation are the same on >2010<, the history starting from a small label based in hamburg turned out climbing a high mountain. touching cities like detroit, tokyo, paris, berlin, buenos aires, releasing music like contemporary classic, drones and glitches, ambient, guitar pop, singer songwriter, deep house, minimal techno, discovering arts of protagonists such as michaela meise, sergej jensen, dirk stewen, hanna schwarz, anna mšller, cosima von bonin, all this fills a decade of dial records. but still the main part is the music and as we hold the 2010 compilation in our hands and listen to the tunes of phantom ghost, isolŽe, pantha du prince, carsten jost, john roberts, efdemin, lawrence, christian naujoks, dominique, rndm, pigon, kassian- we still have this enthusiastic feeling that wants to tell us: this is only the beginning

for the record this modern trend of wiping is collective madness. i never apply any man-made materials to my anus. a permanent layer of fecal matter is perfectly natural and healthy!

after a long time in making music, alexander returned to the stage in the role of io (mulen) and co-owner of mulen records. despite on absolutely non-commercial music format, project is attracted attention almost from the first days of existence, as or. after a long time in making music, alexander returned to the stage in the role of io (mulen) and co-owner of mulen records. despite on absolutely non-commercial music format, project is attracted attention almost from the first days of existence, as originality and professionalism. leaving aside the trend peak-time sound, io is explores a deep flows of house music. jazz reefs and an abundance of syncopation, samples and unhurried rhythms, gives a tribute to the traditions of the classical sound, but at the same time don t without futurism. due to the inventive production, io have especially recognizable groove, and therefore deservedly valued of underground music lovers.

fast-moving times, in which popularity and quality are often equated or commonly confused with one another, aids and abets this imitation game some call conformity, others professionalism. in the end, both paths will end up in predictability. heres where stathis kalatzis, aka mr. statik, comes to play. the resident at athens’ multi-purpose cultural space six d.o.g.s has not only been one of the scenes pivotal figures, but since he started to release his first solo releases in the mid-00s, the now berlin-based greek dj has earned a reputation for being a trend-ignoring, unconventional producer. whether his output for bpitch control, rotary cocktail, or even last years debut ep rogue cherub for away mr. statik enjoys thinking outside the box by crossing his diverse pop-cultural interests and pulling in expertise and perspective from beyond the usual functional formulas. after a decade of not staying in one comfort zone or sticking to one musical direction, he finds himself more comfortable in his producer shoes presenting his debut album metamorphose. housing a few film references in this for mr. statik typical nebulous fashion, the ten tracks not only carrying the narrative potential of an imaginary score, but primarily exploring a versatile array of influences, themes, and contradictions (which mr. statik as an illustrator also united on the albums artwork). ranging from the sci-fi infused album opener insomnia, the first non-dancefloor piece he ever produced around 7 years ago, over?

voiski embarks on the third expedition into the cosmic lands .a collection of singular and utopian ambient, electronica and techno tracks illustrated by spectacular picture of layla kerley and bruno compagnet. cosmic adventure is an honest portrayal without fabrication or pretense. too often electronic music is subjected to the damaging opinions of others and categorized in a movement or a trend, choking the freshness out of the sound. cosmic adventure provides a platform of creative energy, a unique platform for unique artists who search nothing except discovering new landscapes and inspiration.

acid fans may well be aware of dj arg (also known as faceless junkies deluxe) and know that the man is a machine, literally churning out hundreds of the nastiest and most purist 303 based techno and house tracks and uploading them with alarming regularity to his soundcloud pages. super rhythm trax is proud to present to you his first vinyl release, it was really hard to decide on just four tracks, but these ones were jumping out for a release. sick and twisted 303 abuse for lovers of the silver box.

powerpill promises nothing but good times from an unknown source, from the day glo label art to the playful, upfront techno cut into the wax. this is no nonsense club stuff, leading in with the chirpy acid strut of -track 1- before getting tangled up in the modulating electro lines of -track 2-. -track 3- has a more overtly 90s vibe to it, calling to mind the early uk techno scene in its bleeping leads and dubby undercurrents. -track 4- finishes the record off with the toughest jam of the lot, but it s still a nimble affair that shuns the trend towards pitch-black techno and instead embraces a spread of melodic threads throughout the track.

with their 5th release ourselves remain true to the passion of house music containing 4 groovy tracks full of warm sounds, onward going drums, massive basslines and bright chords pressed on black gold that we love so much. there is no emulation of a trend or hype, time just does not matter. in a very detailed way the two producers siggatunez and sello show you what their musical roots and influences are without claiming an a-side titletrack but creating timeless clubmusic for every situation on the floor which also could be classics from tomorrow.

top-retrospektive des chicagoer house-labels let s dance records von dj mike macharello und seinem hausproduzenten duane thamm jr. entgegen dem trend war macharello kein afroamerikanischer produzent aus der chicagoer south side, sondern ein weisser, schwuler dj aus den westlichen vororten, der let s dance records startete, als sich house music noch in den kinderschuhen befand. der sampler enthält die 5 wesentlichen klassiker des labels in verschiedenen versionen und erscheint als cd und dj-freundliches 4x12- vinyl samt posterbeilage mit raren fotos und labelhistorie.

edmondson first came to my attention with his lobster theramin distributed release, flamingo tripper, on his own label lissoms. or so i thought. turns out he was actually a guy who used to serve me in one of my favourite pubs in newcastle. back in those days he was a dub step / drum and bass kid, and as per the trend with all of those guys, hes now showing the house heads how its done, with a much keener feel for sound design, groove and a better ear for a sample than 90% of us lazy people who cut our teeth on a 4/4 beat. edmondson (or sean as i did know him and how i know him once again) is really one of the most exciting producers out there right now for me, and i couldnt be happier that weve reconnected and hes kindly allowed me me me to present some of his amazing music. we have love is an instant classic, and psg is a work of pure emotive art. to remix we have love, ive enlisted dauwd (fresh from his amazing album on technicolour). sean suggested him, and i jumped on the suggestion as he was one of the first people i met when i moved to berlin 4 years ago, and ive been trying to figure out a way of working with him since. he takes a we have love down a kind of more delicate and steppy route. its very pretty, but also really makes you want to dance. to remix psg i asked asok. again, i thought i first met asok about 7 or 8 years ago, when he came and played for a party i used to throw in newcastle. after becoming good friends over the years, we got chatting and it turned out that we were both in magaluf in 1998, and may have actually been involved in the same street brawl. thats not something either of us are proud of, but its definitely food for thought. i’m biased, but i think his remix is my favourite thing he’s ever done, and i love everything he’s touched musically to date, so thats probably an even bigger endorsement than it first seems. his version is big.
