we re thrilled to welcome charonne in the automatic writing family for their very first vinyl release! the young parisian duo is taking us in a trippy minimal journey inspired by the golden age of microhouse. hearing the three original cuts, you will undoubtedly understand why we chose akufen to add an herbert-esque touch to this highly anticipated release! 4 groovy fragments of imagination, automatically written on wax.

our seventh release is a special one. transatlantic art from two true friends that go way back. stephen beaupre and akufen teamed up and delivered the astonishing kill sugar ep.

so happy to sign an akufen ep on karat. pure house stuff in between classic akufen pumpin pouse vein and the more abstract way of house from horror inc. just enjoy!

a true techno auteur, mathew jonson earlier this year released his second solo album, her blurry pictures on crosstown rebels, encompassing a new evolution in his rhythmically complex and timeless approach over eight fluid and rich composition. now soon to drop is a package of unmissable blurry remixes featuring a trio of first class reworks by dixon, tale of us and akufen

akufen is back in great shape with some new original material for his own label musique risquée, the only label where you can find these unidentified musical objects. five tracks of swinging melodic madness like only akufen can craft. if these songs dont bring you a smile, well, too bad for you.

doppelschall is back! the label of brand brauer and frick with another strong forward thinking house release. its paul frick doing a solo with emika and come up with some sweet warm sounding song with a great funky groove and sexy vocals. dollkraut comes up with a more then excellent remix that sounds like dick dale & the del tones doing a house mix... killer track with much pop appeal! akufen goes all deep house with warm chords and laidback vibe.

akufen startet sein eigenes label mit swingendem sampleirrsinn und viel guter laune. prost!

ein jahrzehnt nach seinem letzten musikalischen meisterwerk auf perlon kehrt montreals renommierter elektronik-maestro horror inc. (alias marc leclair oder akufen) zurück, um mit a soundtrack for strange times zu fesseln. dieses 4×12&#8243,,,,-album, das unter dem label anoma veröffentlicht und von ohm hourani kuratiert wurde, ist nichts weniger als eine filmische reise.

jeder track des albums ist eine erzählung, die den hörer durch introspektive täler und berauschende gipfel führt, ohne ein einziges wort zu sagen. es ist ein nahtloser klangteppich, ein beweis für die gereifte kunstfertigkeit von horror inc. und ihr tiefes verständnis für die elektronische landschaft.

after 5 years from their last album released on bosconi records, the clover’s trio comes back on their own label with a three track ep dedicated to the dance floor.
quantized tribalism melts with jupiter’s sounds in “pulsing particles”. while in “emanation”, past and present feelings alternate through chants and synthesizers sitting on a solid funky groove.
“separated at birth” is the theme of the b-side, the minimalism of the original track is stretched by horror inc. (aka akufen, perlon) in a rare 9 minutes melodic drone with broken beat and thriller-ish like strings. a gem you can’t miss!
the clover are back on the market, ready to play with a brand new liveset!

having previously appeared alongside tommi vicari jr on a 12inch last year, opto mystics strike out on their own with this 12inch for italian powerhouse vibraphone. new horizon very much represents the new school approach with the long serving italian house label, keeping that deep, melodic quality but embracing new rhythms, tones and approaches. new horizon almost has an akufen quality to it, while bucky triangle could easily transmit from the motor city house scene. m.i.y.e. is a swirling blur of gorgeous synths, and -suddent- finishes the ep off on a surprisingly experimental tip.

bosconi extra virgin is proud to launch the first vinyl release by japanese duo spangleman formed by tsukasa kato and ataru nishizaki. their brown ep is a 5 tracker of ultra minimalistic and sophisticated house jams!! first cut is -jimmy-, a broken swingy jazzy track with a deep aquatic rhodes and a slap bass, chasing each other all along the track, reminding some of the trimsound or tom ellis early works. second track of a side goes more straight into an hypnotic deep house track.. which still maintains it s jazzy approach with an original arrangement from beginning to end. the welcoming sound of -ubi-quitous- opens the b side, a broken dubby tune reminding early 90 s atmospheres a la nightmares on wax.. follows up the ultra dry deep after hour track -illusion- sounding like a real jazz jam with drums and contrabass where a quirky voice appearing from time to time, brings you back to reality! the ep ends with the freaky minimal chicagoish jam -chi this ma- , a puzzle of chopped voice and acid samples stuck together so well like only akufen could do.. hard to define a sound for this release, could be minimal, detroit jazzy house.. or more simply just gentleman s house music!

early support from raresh, akufen, and jan krueger, next up on sol asylum is non other than julie marghilano with her innerspace ep. taking the listener to another dimension of sound, she brings her range of musical knowledge to create a solid package with a stunning remix from fred p. starting things off on a analog journey with “innerspace” we move through an interstellar universe with detailed grooves full of percussive splatters and echoing synths that moves us into a dream like state of mind. conjuring the jazz planet in berlin with“katzbachjazz”you are immediately transported to a galaxy of sound with galloping percussion and a classic techno layout. using more 909 techno drum elements she creates a whirlwind of sound with a delicate touch. taking things a little bit deeper with “cosmic karma” she presents a heavily detailed drum structure full of violin experimentation that creates a dark atmosphere but still bringing an uplifting and joyous vibe. finishing off the package is something unique from fred p who julie asked to remix for her due to her enormous respect for him. the emotionally charged remix of“cosmic karma” shows a different side of fred p while still keeping his signature sound in tact. the remix takes us through an ever-evolving voyage through time and space.

klangscheiben records is proud to present its frst vinyl release of a brand new series, a various artists compilation entitled „the fable“. while some tales start with “once upon a time“, this one begins with the candid rhythms and guileless synergy of german duo metaboman and large m’s “taverne master”. canadian minimal masterminds akufen and pheek each provide their own input: the former’s weaving synth-driven jazzy storylines, the latter’s a trip through fragmented instrumentals and a min-tech narrative. klangscheiben label boss demas shows his fangs with a brooding slow burner permeated by skin-crawling microsounds, a flow picked up by montreal producer magnanime’s “psychomagic master”. ark’s parable is awash with echoing vocal snippets and an addictive piano riff, melting into the strange sound of tom ellis, whose “shotgun” is at once stripped back and full of life. tomas jirku wraps up the release with “one monkey”, a glitchy, eccentric minimal piece that is as unpredictable as you’d expect from the vancouver producer. the moral of the story? listen and fnd out.

very limited 2015 repress! all inn records have already proved to be massively popular with the biggest names throughout 2010, and their latest release is set to increase yet again, the buzz surrounding the romanian imprint. all inn s fifth installment comes from the turin sensation that is rills... having grown up in the shadow of italy s motor city in the heart of mirafori, in a city of non stop musical turmoil. it was the beauty of the electronic melody that first snared rills. in the mid 2000 s the national and internationally renowned promoter xplosiva spotted the young blossoming talent and enlisted him as resident. since that time, rills has shared the dj booth with the worlds finest, as the likes of ricardo villalobos, carl craig and akufen have all felt the heat of his burning hot warm-up sets

in our corner of leftfield dance music, there are not many of our heroes that we havent had the pleasure of hosting on circus company. from the early days of ark and akufen to robag wruhme, deetron and franck roger, we are privileged to have welcomed some genuine legends onto our label, and now we are honoured to add another all-time great to the list, soulphiction

horror inc.s first full length album montreals marc leclair, a long time buddy of perlon and also known to some as akufen, delivers 10 tracks and takes us on a very personal trip through the depths of booh. dont miss horror inc.s fabulous live-set, as he is currently on tour

its not so easy to pigeonhole de:pots musical style: deep, groovy, smoky and pending somewhere between akufen, krause duo and cypress hill. with his vinyl-debut for sophisticated helmsmen, the analog-studio-punk from the provincial backcountry of eastern germany now delivers a proper dope-house masterpiece, fairly dragging the anxious legs of any foggy dancefloor. bigbait012 – thats five tracks, five statements, five unmistakably groovy and well-hung slices of contemporary house-music, giving the listener the opportunity to get a hint of what crazy and freaked-out experiments de:pot has figured out in his mind – highly contaminated dancefloor drugs for shuffle addicts

big with:ernesto ferreyra, the mole, akufen, vincent lemeuix.. inspired by classic disco and electro, dkmd have already produced several dance music tracks, using old and new technology in order to come up with a unique sound which pays homage to their predecessors without sounding pastiche. echoes of giorgio moroder and donna summer can be felt throughout on the other side, while the playful and sensual taxi cab recounts the familiar story of an early morning phone call received by a girl in a cab, on her way home from a pleasurable night out. perhaps it is their experience playing together as improvisers that adds a special touch to their dance music,as they have grown accustomed to perform almost every element in their tracks using hardware intruments and effect boxes.in addition to their disco project,the two have a considerable track record as experimentalists and the dark,cosmic and mysterious androide is a good example of some of their output in the genre.even though dkmd are only at the beginning of their dancefloor adventures,they show no signs of stopping,and when asked what comes next,they will likely answer

und wieder heißen wir einen neuen kuenstler in unserer kleinen familie herzlichst willkommen. aufgewachsen im ruhrgebiet, lebt scrounger seit einigen jahren in seiner wahlheimat koeln, zieht hier durch die clubs der stadt und der umgebung, und liefert dem publikum organisch-elektronische sets zwischen house und techno - sorgfältig ausgewaehlt und mit liebe fürs detail. so auch auf seiner debut ep namens >gretchenfrage< auf ostwind records. >darlehen< und >innere werte< erinnern an alte akufen releases. durch knackige beats und rollende grooves, kurze treibende breaks und kleinen vocal fetzen haben diese tracks ihren ganz eigenen charme und gesellen sich in eine riege mit produktionen von super flu, andhim oder cascandy

continuing the exploration of bristol 4/4 variants, immerse proudly offers forth this decisive two-tracker from the prodigious mind of jacob martin, better know as hodge. you might be more familiar with hodge from his work as part of outboxx, who we proudly debuted on ime025. that said, he first surfaced last year with the deadly conjecture on another fine bristol institution, pollen. one thing rings true in any of the output hodge is associated with, melody. shirking the safety of sterile mechanics that so many producers hide behind, he tackles interplaying notes and harmonies with a fearless exuberance. opening track the fall kicks off on a jerky groove and ice-cold organ murmurs, gently easing in layers and clips of sound with the same joie de vivre as akufen and other micro-house progenitors. ‘crush’ kicks off on a more decidedly broken tip, keeping the twostep shuffle slow and easy as whispers of garage skip in between the warm pads. the overriding vibe on hodge’s ep is one of unpretentious, good times tunage.

eclipsemusic is pleased to announce the sixth release introducing the talented canadian producer matt thibideau. he is known in toronto, detroit, montreal, & berlin for having performed with the ikes of mike huckaby, akufen, richie hawtin andreleasing music on labels such as mike shannons cynosure and sub-static with hisnew wave-industrial band repair.. matt has a very personal approach to making music that refuses to use software instruments and give free expression to his unlimited passion for the sound of his analog synthesizers. he records directly through a mixer playing his live instruments. this particular feature shines through his deep and warm sound! >when its time< is a typical techouse style track with a solid structure consisting of a straight and bouncy rhythm, deep bass with futuristic chords and techy arpeggiators running over it. the track starts very deep develops into a more raw sound that leaves no survivors on the dance floor! >holding on to you< is a much more dub-oriented track this time we have ambient and rarefied atmosphere which develops progressively over a repetitive bass line and drum machine rhythm with a mixture of chords and pads typically inspired by the basic channel sound. the title track >night drive< (licensed from matts obsolete components record label) is a masterpiece of deep house music vaguely reminiscent of many mid-nineties works from labels like guidance recordings and wave music, that will become an instant classic for all deep-house heads. very melodic and groovy bass line with a mixture of pads, reverberated chords and many delayeffected elements. 7 minutes of pure deepnes

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.
