infectious and club focused, beaner’s first solo outing arrives courtesy of la mission.
“blackmouth” is the live version of the classic soul/disco sampling house tune. take the work of others who came before you and turn it into a danceable jam. “got blues?” uses the work of a blind 1930s blues bongo player to form a weirdo repetitive rhythm tool: another example of using a forgotten artist for one’s own gain. the titular song, “co-opted & exoticized” plays on the classic preacher vocal track.

its always unwise to judge a label thats still taking its first steps, but banoffee pies has barely put a foot wrong since launching a couple of years back. here, the bristol-based imprint continues with its successful split release formula, gathering together a quartet of tracks from up-and-coming producers. beaner kicks things off with the bumpin , low-slung deep house grooves and delay-laden guitar samples of it takes two, before philou louzolo raises the temperature with the looped horn samples and thumping beats of alter ego. flip for the dreamy balearic house goodness of ron wilson s albino turtle, and the bongo-laden, after-party deep house shuffle of mome s assatta.

we here at l a mission like to whip out our politics in public. we kinda get off on it. and so were especially excited to slip you b eaners first solo outing on the label. from track titles to sound samples to magazine articles to packaging, this record / magazine / performance package highlights im/migration, the brown experience, and stripped identity.supported by: dave aju, mr. ties, axel boman, mr. tophat & art alfie, duane harriot/devin dare, the black madonna, the mole, eddie c, christopher rau, zambon (the very polish cutouts), delfonic, brandt brauer frick, massimiliano pagliara, luke solomon, west norwood cassette library, delfonic

release #6 for brooklyn based voodoo down records with a track from beaner and remixes from tobias and voodoo down.

comes with a magazine, a cult membership card, and a hand numbered ticket to the attending experimental theater performance. with la missions second missive, the cult sings you some more songs about fucking. and revolution. humanity is a ship we are all sailing. tough, slowly developing house with weird unintelligible vocals, a philip glass-ish short interlude, and then some ridiculously slow and syrupy 100bpm deepness round out this little package. made with you in mind. thanks for listening.

with the first of many releases including not only a vinyl record full of hymns to make your booty quake and your mind think, but also a 32 page magazine, a cult membership card, a ticket to the related performance and more, la mission hopes you will join us on our quest to make the world a funnier and better place. the most important question on our human minds seems to be >why is there something instead of nothing?<, the more complete and meaningful version of >why are we here?<.

already heard many a time in ibiza over the summer, this jerky piano workout had been getting steady support from such diverse names as axel boman, dyed soundorom, sven vath and kerri chandler.

after releasing some cross-eyed dance floor burners on district of corruption, little helpers and bar25, pablo roman alcalá aka beaner brought some seriously sexy bent grooves over to brooklyn for those ever lasting late night benders. his first ep for thema was a dark and tangled ode to the drug-addled prose of author, denis johnson, which was well received by a slew of various deranged djs. this time he returns to stake his place on the dance floor with four deep, fractured after-hours jams. the name mixed doubles is apt, as youll find the pairings of unlikely elements on these tracks aligning nicely… before they are slowly pried apart. of course, thats when things truly get interesting

autoreply offshoot stuga musik picks up where it left off with another three tracks of deadly effective, club-friendly madness. having held a residency at berlins legendary bar 25 club and recording for high calibre labels such as district of corruption, thema and little helpers, the arrival of beaner to the stuga family is something to be celebrated. he serves up miles then mccoy, a nine minute epic that effortlessly fuses tight linear drum programming with freeform sound design and loose instrumentals that thunder along towards an exciting clima

after 4 years of putting out various hit releases via thema, the mother ship, its first sub-label or satellite has come to be. we are proud to announce spacial! it will consist of various remix projects, outtakes and b-sides from the parent and digital labels this new realm will function as a showcase for some of the more esoteric creations from our ever expanding roster of artists. so for our first slab of black magic, we have lad from switzerland which is remixed by none other then mr. quenum for a peak time killah remake. to keep it deep we have monotron, a new comer from holland dropping a sensual builder that lacks no luster to muster you on the floor. on the flip side we gave the whole side to a remix by the man from the hills, mr. ernesto ferrerya remixing beaner of bar25. this monster takes us on some ill trippy ride into his private lil world of bass and organs. we feel this grouping is a nice crop of tracks to start off a new adventure, its all part of the bigger concept of developing a sound—a movement—an idea. remember though, this is only the beginning!

>personalities< ist eine reise durch warme sounds & melodien die über einen klassischen minimal-groove schweben. erwachsene musik mit deepen effekten und ausdrucksstarken synthies die vor allem zur späten stunde toll zur geltung kommt

gespenstischer minimal von beaner der im aaron hedges mix nochmal anständig auf club gebürstet wird

new yorks matuss returns with the eighth release on her absence seizure imprint this september, comprising three originals from the ukrainian born artist. julia matuss, better known as simply matuss has been steadily carving out a name for herself over the past decade, initially finding her feet as a prominent dj in the ukrainian scene she grew up in before a move to new york saw thing progress and the launch of her absence seizure imprint shortly followed. now eight releases deep the imprint has piqued the interested of dj s such as d julz, dj deep, derek plaslaiko, twr72 and beaner. taking the lead on the package is fairy dust setting the scene via warbling rhodes chords, raw dub sweeps and a pulsating low-end drive before a spaced out, sinuous resonant synth lead ebbs and flows throughout the focal point of the composition. baelfire follows and strips things back to raw percussive feel, employing thunderous claps, a weighty kicks and sweeping filtered sample as the foundation before the latter half of the record works in a frenzied acid-tinged hook. faramant then closes the package with an amalgamation of organic percussion, natural bass licks and glitchy percussive chimes which all subtly evolve and retract throughout.

matuss returns to her absence seizure imprint february 2017 with ‘seizure no.6, comprising four original compositions from the new york based artist. since launching the absence seizure imprint in 2015 alongside producer friend abe duque, new yorks matuss has carved out an impressive back-catalogue with this new release marking its sixth and previous material garnering the attention of acts like derek plaslaiko, beaner, dj deep, twr72 and norman methner. once again julia matuss, better known as simply matuss, is at the controls to deliver four original compositions, the first of which la folie sees her deliver a haunting slice of tension building techno via throbbing bass, organic percussion hits and subtly evolving distorted rhythms. muirr follows and takes a more reserved strip back approach with swirling bass tones and sparse drums gradually building towards a frenzied fusion of psychedelic synth swells, vocal stabs and acidic hits. opening the flip side of the record is i hate valentines day, a murky five-minute number employing mind-bending low end drones, dynamic off-kilter percussion and sweeping atmospherics before acid slay closes, and as the name would suggest lays focus on tripped-out acid licks alongside chugging bass and minimalistic drums.

maria an organic piano-laden house track with a moody, ominous, misleading filtered start which flourishes into a feel-good house track with compelling whispering vocals and layered chords. got the taste zones in on the relentless groove with breathless vocal stabs and unforgiving deepness which conforms to a simplistic affable approach. rounding up the ep is maria remixed by berlin based producer beaner the la mission label head serves up a trippy off kilter-creation with a clever contrast to the original.

this debut ep is produced with clear references to j choirboy’s influences, from the majestic cantatas of bach to the broken rhythmic styles of the early uk rave scene, and even features his own father’s organ playing on the first track fantazia.

after ushering in a raft of releases from top talent over the last year that turned quite a few heads, we over here at thema thought it was time to assert our own opinions a bit more forcefully. we certainly appreciate all the support we garnered from the detroit drops courtesy of norm and terrence, and sliding over to the smallville end of the spectrum with rau and suburb certainly didnt lose the thread either. sometimes its easy to build a vibe on the backs of others rather than on simple merit though… with that in mind we have taken our own path since then, and the recent successes from beaner and laurine frost stand alone as the accolades keep rolling in. continuing on our outbound trajectory, we present the solo vinyl debut of gathaspar, the mysterious polish producer who has been making noise mostly in berlin and to the east.

london-based thomas feriero, aka avatism, didnt buy his first vinyl when he was ten years old, nor was he born out of the love of two underground jazz musicians. he had an extremely dull and standard childhood and can barely play the drums. yet somehow, he is able to formulate techhouse tracks that are classy and artful while remaining dancefloor-functional.
