a tripped-out batch of hard jamming tracks from ex-mutante rita lee – recorded with assistance from all the members of the group at the time, but in a mode that’s quite different overall! lee is clearly the star of the show here – singing all lyrics with a much fiercer vocal approach than on her earlier solo album – pushing things hard to keep up with the jamming keyboards of arnaldo baptista and guitar of sergio dias – both of whom are working with the energy that would show up in the mutantes styles in the years after lee departed. one of the most compelling aspects of the record is the structure of the tunes – less conventionally rockish overall than the direction os mutantes were moving towards – and still with that strong dramatic flair that lee always provided when in the group. titles include -vamos tratar da saude-, -amor branco e preto-, -superficie do planeta-, -teimoisia-, -tapupukitipa-, -beija me amor-, and -frique como-.

in physics, entropy is a quantity generally described as the measure of disorder within any kind of thermodynamic system, including the universe. it counts the microscopic states that system can assume when open, interacting with others or getting altered by external conditions.
thus, entropy makes for the perfect description of the way ilpo väisänen (pan sonic, i- lp-o in dub) and dirk dresselhaus (schneider tm, a s s, locust fudge) have approached music creation since the establishment of their collaborative project angel (now die angel) in 1999. allowing energy to flow freely through machines, bodies and different acoustic conditions, they’ve generated a powerful archive of mutating sonic states. a kind of creative attitude that favors exploring the physical complexity of unstructured electronics.
that’s where the title for their first release on cosmo rhythmatic comes from, “entropien” being the finnish word and the german plural for entropy. getting back to the stripped down set of their beginnings (modular synths, effects, and processed guitar), they’ve come out with one of their most, intense, rawest and noisiest albums to date, showcasing an impressing scale of dynamics while attacking the senses with belligerent tones. oren ambarchi also shows up on two tracks, intertwining his drums, field recording, and guitar within the duo’s discordant layers.
entropien i is dedicated to mika vainio. may your soul rest in peace.

released in 2008, this outstanding album was never pressed on vinyl. it contains some of juana molina s most rhythmic pieces (including the epic title track), and saw her dig deeper into electronic textures. un día was juana s final album for the domino label . pitchfork decided that it was as warm and welcoming as it is weird, all music guide calls it as experimental as björk s but much more inviting. for rolling stone us, this album is her most adventurous, combining avant-garde vocals with the atmospherics of portishead and my bloody valentine. and french music bible les inrockuptibles wrote: a real album of trance music which, like with john coltrane or nusrat fateh ali khan, doesn t aim for a loss of consciousness but rather for reaching a higher level of knowledge

brand new release from the labelboss dia, danceflor oriented house at its best.

finally its available!!! its that track thats been absolutely hammered by ricardo villalobos and has been causing a stir on forums and youtube for months. this is a limited edition white label. please order accordingly. they wont hang around for long.

after a couple of succesful releases on her label vinyl did it and the limited series they are changing it, dia comes out with the next single on this limited one sided series (300), twelveinchesoflove. moody pads and a walking bassline simmer under sharp hi hats and playful cymbals as serene chords steep the vibe in the ambiance of a hot smoke filled room. all of this is brought to a boil as urgent vocals and whoops get slapped around by chicago uprock hand claps. jazz grooves drift back in on top, rounding out this versatile house stormer aimed squarely at those who dont need to be told twice that its time to dance

after excellent results with the first three releases, it is label manager dia who comes out with the next release on vinyl did it. roaches travel in groups is an ep complete with the right amount of house and techno elements, never leaning too close to one style yet retaining a familiarity and elements from each genre to make it appealing to just about any music lover. on the a side, left there kicks off the record with vintage-like house pads and piano. the second track on the a side, winds of tomorrow takes things into techno territory with classic 909 claps, prominent hi hats, and filtered synths, upbeat,fun, and more of a peak time track. on the b side, dia shows us a sound that she dominates and clearly has defined her previous eps, leaning towards the often called >afterhours techno<, with a strong, deep, hypnotic track, scrape. made up of small sounds and carefully placed percussive elements that carry the track nicely, all this topped by a contagious voice that seems to invite us into a parallel universe where the only thing that matters is the music. limited edition of 500 units!

new barcelona label they are changing it, first ep comes from barcelona based american dj/producer and label boss dia. the past 12 months were very important for her as she started another succesful label, vinyl did it. this ep truly represents dias sound, very musical, well layered, and with a touch of melancholy, yet strong and driving, with simple yet effective basslines and strong percussion, ready to take on any dancefloor.

colorblind is a project of dj spider and tokyo dj jun matsuoka. influenced by afro-american music in its widest sense, their open-minded dj sets - a cross-over of latin jazz, two-step, soul or deep house - reflect the way they compose.the latin orientated >novo dia< is a deeper shaking bossa combining future funk synths with sweet brazilian vocals. originally released 2003.

6 track mini album from baby rose, produced by badbadnotgood. limited pressing on transparent smokey marbled vinyl.
