crimes of the future head to the other side of the world their first release from australia. paradise box is responsible for the killer reel nitty gritty on greece s highy repected echovolt records back in 2014 and in 2017 he joins the crimes of the future family with the hookup ep. two original cuts of fine and upliftying deep and tropical house music are joined by two very special cover versions like you have never heard before. an incredible ep working equaly as well in the club or on a sun kissed beach bar.

the original motion picture soundtrack from “fantastic beasts: the crimes of grindelwald” on double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

beneath the still waters of lonely sound there lays the ruins of howland abbey, its 3000lb bell still hanging in the belfry, only swayed by the currents of the regular tides across the estuary, over 100 years since it was rang by the order of carthusian monks who lived in the nearby priory. at the turn of the last century during a heavy storm the abbey was plundered by an unknown gang of marauders, as they left on horseback carrying with them all the gold from the abbey the sea defences around lonely sound were breached, flooding the abbey, priory and the surrounding land, the monks ran for dry land as they watched their beloved bell tower disappear beneath the rising waters, unable to chase the thieves, cut off as the water rose around them. some locals say these ransackers were in league with the elements, some say they had just intentionally damaged the sea defences before making their raid. local folk-law claims that the morning bells of the abbey can be heard ring out from beneath the murky waters of the sound every year on the anniversary of the great storm, ringing the peel that was never rung.

betonkust has been spotted lurking in the realm of seedy late night body music alongside artists such as palmbomen ii, landing his noirish wares on 1080p, pinkman and most notably dekmantel. now he makes the logical leap to crimes of the future alongside equally accomplished belgian producer innershades, previously spotted on wicked bass, creme organization, hot haus and many more besides. the sound on forever in boccaccio is totally fitting for crimes of the future, all muscular drum machines beats and analogue synth lines angled to send a shiver down your spine. watch out for the unexpected rave hit of -jambers at carat afterclub- which comes on strong with some fist-shaking peak time euro techno motifs.

albion boys are back with their 9th installment, this time from relative newcomer on the french minimal scene gab jr.

the latest crimes of the future comes from dimitri distant and lvrin, two emergent artists with a penchant for pitch black grooves steeped in the kind of acidic, wavey styles that cotf are consistently striking gold with. -blasphemy- is a powerful slice of reductionist acid that uses a bare minimum of elements to create a sinister atmosphere to strike fear into the hearts of unwitting dancers. -dead sunday- is no slouch in the creepy department either, its clattering beats and bubbly acid line straining against a tape-stretched backdrop of synthesizer malaise. -achromatic- switches stance to slow, undead electro soaked in embalming fluid and filtered through a b-movie veil for maximum guttural impact.

chicago house legend mystic bill joins crimes of the future with two straight up jacking house tracks with bonus instrumental and a mind bending remix by scott fraser. bill torres needs little introduction to those fans of the original chicago movement in the late 1980 s and 1990 s, he produced a string of 12inches for the likes of trax and relief records whilst playing and holding down dj residences in some of the citties best loved venues. after remixing scott fraser s no word of truth release last year on his dx recordings label his first full solo release on crimes of the future has arrived.the a cut frequency 9 is a rolling jacker with rattling percussion and dark synth stabs to dement the warehouse dancefloor and very much in the line of bills trademark style. a2 sees fraser return the remix favour delivering a massive floor bumping remix adding all new drums, 303 and huge bassline giving a nod to the classic sound of those sex trax/ power music 12s from the 1990 s with his 11 minute mind control remix. the frequency cannot be controlled! side b has both the original and a bonus intrumental of the ship is sinking, a dark slice of jacking house complete with real tension and total mastery of the sampler for those able to spot it.

crimes of the future is the kind of label you can trust, no matter who is at the controls. the same could be said for giallo disco, and certainly the two labels orbit a similar space for lurid soundtrack-inspired hardware jams from the italo age. vercetti technicolor is one half of the giallo team alongside antoni maiovvi, and here steps out with a perfectly bombastic range of compositions that revel in b-movie brilliance. -golden taurus- is the perfect slow-burner, those mono bass notes warming like no soft synth ever could, while -topaz fear- brings a more action-driven sequence into the mix. -death wish- too opts for a pumped up club scenario, while heinrich dressel smokes out -golden taurus- into a seedy slow-jam.

crimes of the future rounds off the year in fine style with an absolutely essential ep from twins. 3 moody us house cuts straught out of atlanta and a sublime deep remix from label boss scott fraser. opening up with cause of dissociation, a slice of banging chicago house that would not have been out of place in the hands of mike dunn at the warehouse. rattling drums amd percussion a cut up vocal and a killer bassline make for dancefloor devastation. next up -you take too- takes things a little deeper, maintining the groove with chicago inspired percussion and filtered drums and stabbing synths grooving the track along. over on side b scott fraser takes -you take too- on to 5am on a dark smoke filled dancefloor, with a deep bassline and soaring strings. adding additional percussion, keys and swirling echoes... could be the sound of a lost nu groove classic. finally things close out with -a way from now- with more chicago inspired goodness with a funky bassline, pumping percussion and eerie ethereal keys rounding the ep off in fine style.

brilliant tv and movie themes by francois de roubaix!!! on 20 november 1975 francois de roubaix disappeared while diving. before going towards this tragic death, francois had received an order for a television series theme tune commissaire moulin. as usual, the composed melody has been indelibly printed in the collective memory. francois de roubaix always put his fingers where it should be! between electronic tricks and acoustic works, this record brings the themes of this television series together with other musics composed for never released or still unknown projects... all unpublished music, never pressed on vinyl! it soon becomes clear that francois de roubaix feels confortable with this kind of exercises. the result is every time sublime. recommended!!

exclusive 7inch single in conjunction with mount alalog los angeles presenting crimes of the future label bosses scott fraser and timothy j. fairplay with 2 exclusive cuts of leftfield house and electro psychedelia, very limited copies!

tapan are from belgrade, hosts to disco not disco and now delivering two slow psychedelic techno bomb s to crimes of the future s letterbox. we first met nebjosa and the crew when we played at drug store in belgrade for them in early 2014. upon receiving these we knew they had crimes written all over them. on volumes we have two very special remixes of an already heavy original starting with willie burns taking them into the streets of manchester in the early 90 s and spending a night on at the hacienda with no thought of the gentrification approaching. drvcvltvre is the second provider and in true style switches out the lights and a spectre looms over the dancefloor dripping acid on the dancers below. the ep closes with whos there? featuring the brain melting guitars of vladimir djordjevic. quite a debut we think.

crimes of the future are proud to present the first recorings from bulb. bulb are willie burns, scott fraser and timothy j. faiplay two live jams recorded in new york in the spring of 2014. side a combines gehtto techno breaks with something from wayward kosmiche studio experiments in deepest germany. on side two dark ambient synthesis and stabbing drums combine to drop you somewhere in a world of psychedelia and cavernous cave dwellings.

haunted doorbell are timothy j. fairplay and matilda tristram who released xylophone together last year on astro lab recordings. picking up where xylophone left off unconnected thoughts on jacking is four tracks of naive melodies, rough slamjack drums, and new age atmospheres. starclash kicks off side a, with its dramatic arpeggios and sid chip crashes, techno to soundtrack the saturday night laser show at the planetarium. following is a night of adventure with its eastern scales and washy broken chorus unit hiss. on side b we have beautiful sheffield - an ode to electronic musics (possibly) most important british city and the title track rounds of the ep - house music for listening to while looking out to sea.

we are pleased to announce the release of dr burisch by perseus trax on crimes of the future. after releases on bunker, mos & chiwax (to name a few), the ep is a four track soundtrack to some forgotten alien abduction documentary... maybe. starting off with rainy tuesday and its skipping pitch shift melodies, and followed by lotus protocol and its almost richard d. hook. on the flip we have the title track, slow and building, very much the theme of the piece. the ep finishes with electrical surge, and its static crackle of radio interference and damaged power lines.

the first lobster theremin ep of 2015 comes from london-based newcomer and hazologist, ozel ab. striking a distinct tone with his lucid day-dreamer pads, blown-out mpc drums and werkdiscs-inspired weirdness, this debut release is the missing piece in the final core artist tapestry of the label.

slamming techno release , incl silent servant remix

antoni maiovvi joins the crimes family in a perfect match of italo horror running out of the disco, leaving behind the gentle thud of dark techno in a dark roman alleyway.... junior fairplay s inaguaral remix takes us out of the darkness to a happy ending in sunnier climbs on a beach somehere in portofino...

for crimes of the future number 3 we present the ubiquitous black merlin, trevor horn heads to berghain at 3am friday and stays til monday.completing the release timothy j. fiarplay and scott fraser remix together for the first time in the adrian tripod mode, taking amazing exotics back deep into early 1990 s new york and kicking it out bonesbreaks style.

the cronenberg referencing crimes of the future label from messrs. fairplay and fraser gathers further pace on their second release, looking across the atlantic and focussing on the enigmatic works of elizabeth merrick jefferson. from her detroit base, jefferson has one previous release to call on in the shape of the urban off road 12 inch for the argot label. the promise demonstrated there is explored further within the context of this four track quetzalcoatl 12 inch for cotf, expounding colourful take on detroit house filled with rich star gazing qualities that would attract the attention of timothy and scott.

crimes of the future is a new label from timothy j fairplay & scott fraser, and follows on from their night of the same name at the berkeley suite, glasgow and in plastic people, london. timothy and scott both work out of andrew weatheralls basement bunker studio on scrutton street and are part of a group of djs becoming known as the scrutton street axis. timothy is also one half of the asphodells with andrew weatherall who released their first album *ruled by passion, destroyed by lust* this year on rotters golf club.

we ve got some original 1990 copies of this old blake baxter classic on ye olde detroit label incognito. raw drum machine beats and blake giving it in the techno gent steez over the top. not much else to say about it, classic techno and a must have for everyone. limited quantities so get snapping.

fake3 - florida untitled ist die dritte ausgabe der vom experimentellen künstler cristiano grim herausgegebenen und veröffentlichten zine/compilation.

sie enthält einen vom fotografen stefano lemon kuratierten essay, der die letzten punk-communities in südflorida an berüchtigten orten wie la rosas, churchill s pub, space mountain und the gramps in miami, respectable street in west palm beach, beer punx in fort lauderdale und lozer lounge in pompano beach erkundete.

ergreifende schwarz-weiß-fotografie, die von dem legendären amerikanischen grafiker zach hobbs umgestaltet wurde. hobbs schuf eine ikonoklastische collage, in der sich die eucharistische anbetung mit dem heiligen ritual des moshens paart. ein zeitloser punk ohne geschlecht und rasse, der auf einem bierturm thront, geschützt durch blut, schweiß, ketten und laute gebete, wütet gegen die gentrifizierung.

stunning bass compilation

repress - immortal technique, the most radical revolutionary rap lyricist to hit wax, combines with green lantern and a gang of like-minded mcs to produce the 3rd world, a furious mixtape which is perhaps immortal techniques best work to date. the title track is a compelling summary of all the harlem rapper has proclaimed in his past verses, as he reworks jay-zs *where i m from* into a scathing diagnosis of the state of the world in the 21st century. tech also breaks down the power structures behind nyc gentrification on *harlem renaissance*, deconstructs accepted understandings of pimp on *reverse pimpology*, and examines corporate privatization on *open your eyes*. violent, angry, and unabashedly challenging, the 3rd world is everything hardcore hip-hop should be.
