new ep by trinity carbon

a short description: 4 dubbed-out cuts in deep rave mode

2020 repress

new lp by briain, e-fax004

bassheavy breaks from senate

emerging producer patrick conway delivers the goods on the second ep to be released on art e-fax. e-fax002 is a selection of submerged breaks, dark and spectral bass grooves and washed out melodies all combining to make release that is as eerie as it is infectious. a producer who describes his influences as being -transcendental meditation, uk rave, sheffield bleep/warp records, carl craig circa the early 90s, silent servant, shabba ranks and joss sticks smoking out the studio-, it s not hard to hear the shadowy, dense smoke and heavy calm that unifies those inspirations.

bristol beat physicist second storey joins the fold of electro dystopians trust, and telekinesis via fax picks right up where recent releases for houndstooth and his r&s collaboration with appleblim, also, left off. attack of the modlings has deceptively lush pads launch into an industrial grime furor that relentlessly underscores second storey s ambition to sonically innovate. vienna s /dl/ms/, coming right off their recent trust debut, reassemble the bits into a subtly layered electro funk banger, before second storey steps back onto the plate with the eternally spiralling -quantock point to point- and -telekinesis via fax-, the latter evoking memories of robert gordon s afro-futurist black knight project with hyperkinetic snares and free-wheeling synth licks.

the second part of the three-ep series celebrating level records tenth anniversary >top ten 2/3<, is literally a miniature world tour on vinyl. ferenc vaspoeri kicks off with an escape from the city and deep into hungarian forests yet maintains a metropolitan perspective with his harmonic, almost texture-free sound design. next on the map is hidenobu ito, who summons ghosts in tokyos asakusa district with the spookiest house sneaker released on level records to date. on the flipside, it s back to duesseldorf, germany, with local legend antonelli electr. throwing on a twisted chicago-esque house tune before fax from mexico invites us to his mountainous home with a miracoulous track which may surprise fans of his earlier works with electric guitar sounds over a massive and insisting groove

ltd 2022 repress, compost black label 14 !! excellent raw move d sound
move d has been the man behind the legendary source records label. in the past three years he has released an incredible string of big tracks on labels like running back, smallville, liebe*detail, philpot, workshop, fax +49-69/450464 or modern love. with the -silk & shmoove ep-, the heidelberg based dj and producer contributed to compost s black label series in 2006. slightly reminiscent of his legendary -kunststoff- album and all his warm analogue techno, house and deep ambient works. pure class! there are so many things to say about move d… like his own successful labels source records and km20… his musical education as a classical drummer, jazz guitarist and piano player… his works for the german goethe institut and bauhaus university… his countless live appearances all over the world as dj or live act… but most of all his sheer endless output of high quality electronic music!

spirit & form entfaltet einen plätschernden wasserfall, eine ozeanische welle sequenzierter geräusche, um sich vor dem ertrinken einer von der stadt gestressten seele zu schützen.

exactly one year after their sold-out debut album zest, die orangen (aka dreems & kris baha) are zurück! malka tuti and die orangen have concocted a double dish, a two part remix package, saft 1 & saft 2. the first part consists of a new live version of the track yaranabe, recorded in a live session as part of the duo’s infamous analogue live act. a2 is tapan’s remix of metal man. the poem-not-poem is taking shape as a low bpm banger when tapan’s heavy signature kick meets those trippy vocals. this is tapan’s first track to be made after finishing their debut album last year on mt, and its an interesting evolution of their sound, slow dark and punchy, yet with these vocals and bassline, also a catchy post-pop track for the later hours. on the b-side lies gordon pohl’s reimagination of mersey river (aka “the platypus track”). the tracks “epic-, long slow ambient opening and evolution into rhythm resembles in many ways the psychedelic collaboration works of the late pete namlook & move d on namlooks own fax records, which was always a significant influence on the malka tuti world.

ltd to 100 copies - diahgonal is the new brainchildl of ruben alonso tamayo, better know to his fans as fax. having released on static discos, level records, and leaf to name a few. spiral marks rubens debut on our imprint, introduces his sonic reset as diahgonal to the wider public, and adds another layer of personality to our talented family of artists. balancing the old with the new, ethereal sonic exploration with analog warmth and thump. every track embraces cinematic splendour.

hoga nord rekords proudly present ultra satan! a body that have lent blood from other acts on the label, such as spr, tentakel, fontan and the exorcist gbg, are releasing their first 7inch. ultra satan displays with the two tracks usa and usb, an almost unprecedented unrestrained creative force, stemmed from the ambition to destroy and rebuild. rebuild something free and unexplored.

eshu records hits release number ten with a new ep from the in-house production collective made up of jocelyn abell, ivano tetelepta and daniel lekatompessy. fraktur features six tracks of stripped back house and techno that are all atmospheric and heady. opener winter track is a smooth and rolling dub techno number that is grainy and economical yet hugely absorbing thanks to its circling synth details and woody drums. creating moods is even more expansive and spacious, with gently swirling pads enveloping a soft, broken rubber kick drum. the title track is another expertly distilled, dry and heady groove with its frayed edges and warm analogue feel, then hello really flips the script with over driven jeff mills kicks and intergalactic synths bring a spooky sci-fi feel to proceedings. yorubaland is then a cosmic ambient interlude with fax tones bleeping and blipping as lazy pads smear out in the background and last of all core comes on strong with more quick and slick intergalactic techno carrying you off to some distant planet. this is another faultless ep from this fine dutch collective. pressed on 180 grams vinyl.

detroit enigma sharif laffrey makes a return to paramidas berlin-based love on the rocks imprint with pony ep. the two track ep marks his second release with the label (following key jam (a.c.i.d.) and his third release in three years - something of a roll for laffrey who typically allows years to pass between each outing.over 9 minutes of what sounds like nineties 4/4 indian acid-house bass music - in the best way. surprising vocals & a healthy 3 minute lead in. b-side: pony roger’ if the pony you were riding on the a-side was galloping through a grassy meadow - this pony heads into a dark cave. if the a-side is the never ending story then the b-side is the dark crystal. but with prince instead of bowie. sharif laffrey has been playing records and making music for 20 long hard years. born in detroit, michigan - hes worked on the line checking camshafts for chryslers & at submerge for mike banks - at the same time. he toured asia with juan atkins and once had to chase a grown man through the streets at night, who had crawled into his living room through an open window. an active member in detroits early rave scene, sharif remembers booking all foreign gigs with something he calls a fax machine.

1 sided + large gravure on other side. love on the rocks is very excited to present sharif laffrey’s key jam (a.c.i.d.). his first release since the sleeper hit turn it up was released on discos capablanca over two years ago. key jam (a.c.i.d.) is the treasure + the mystery. laffrey’s signature raw edit style is in full effect on this 9-minute proto-dance heater. sharif laffrey has been playing records and making music for 20 long hard years. born in detroit, michigan - he’s worked on the line checking camshafts for chryslers & at submerge for mike banks - at the same time. he toured asia with juan atkins and once had to chase a grown man through the streets at night, who had crawled into his living room through a open window. an active member in detroit’s early rave scene, sharif remembers booking all foreign gigs with a fax machine - and would still do it that way, if anybody else had them anymore. he drove a black trans-am from 1990 to 1995. acid, tons of random stuff, tough, sexy, lovely, slow. freak mode. he is dealing with the fame. more to come.

nice price deal !!! static discos is proud to present low and behold, our latest compilation. we wanted eight friends to contribute a slow techno track. we wanted deepness and melodic greatness. we wanted poetry and lyricism. we needed to slow things down, to sit down and take a look at all the things we love and that circulate around us. we got all of that and more. thanks to lince, machino, kampion, cubenx, federico crespo, al-b, macario and fax for their contribution to this compilation.

1998 classic back on stock!! u cant afford to miss again!!!

an incredible ep with namlook exploring the edges of minimal techno and deep ambient, while the remixes are pepe bradocks most dancefloor oriented works in ages! macro delivers a stunning release by a man who has not only produced 3 collaborational albums with richie hawtin, but also runs the ultra influential fax label with an artist roster ranging from speedy j to bill laswell to klaus schulze: namlook is a true electronic pioneer in a league of his own. the track >subharmonic atoms< was produced back in 1995 and is re-released by macro as a long out of print electronic prototype on the edge of minimal techno and ambient. but dont think this is a retro affair: subharmonic atoms sounds incredibly fresh and proves it is as groundbreaking, innovative and timeless as jeff mills early axis works or hawtins concept1 series. entirely remastered from the original source and cut in unparalleled sound quality, it is available on a single 12inch side for the first time ever. the release is completed with nothing short but french remix master pepe bradocks triumphant return to the dancefloor. his versions of >atoms< are rocking upfront house burners, which his fans have been waiting for since 2003s intrusion ep. definitely one of this years hottest packages

third and last part of the top ten series on level recordings. top ten 3 is packed with excluisve tracks by slg, revolver label-head jeff milligan, ekkohaus and daniel fritschi himself.

these guys from bosnia are on a roll with a few releases coming up on labels such as shadow fax, dolls and patterns! they both did a remix for adult records and a track on relatives, and now its time for their first full ep on adult. expect some relentless funky techno from this duo. if you are into marko nastic, veztax, milicevic, kobaya etc. you should certainly check this out!

all tracks on arti farti have been tested out the last 6 months by our local heroes, and have been proven to work in many a club:-) a: yesteryear: this one is rough. combining modern tech house with some old school >funky< rythms, and catchy keyboard riff, this one has blown up floors for me for a long time. its full of details, and has that eiry >ive heard this track before< feel to it. a massive hit in copenhagen allready, i hope itl be one for you too. full support from a bunch of big djs b: out run in: as the title suggests, this is yet another return to the olden days. i love records like computer madness, but they absolutely sound like crap next too newer releases. this is my tribute to the days where a 808 and a 101 were enough to creat magic hope you like the stuff, and remember. stay on the scene, like a fax machine!!

der traum artist kommt gleich 5mal in den genuss den interpretationen gewiefter spezialisten zu lauschen. als da wären: slg, fax, jeff milligan, anders ilar & daniel fritschi

exzellente mix-cd des kanadischen trance-dj & produzenten max graham zu seiner gleichnamigen radioshow cycles, die wšchentlich in Ÿber 85 lŠndern dieser welt ausgestrahlt wird. graham, in europa auch bekannt durch seine dj-sets beim tomorrowland-festival, gelingt eine fein ausbalancierte mixtur aus techno, progressive und trance.

its all too easy for nostalgia to tip into something negative. at its best its a celebration of the best the past has to offer while putting it into a contemporary context, at its worst its moaning that things arent as good as they used to be. hercules & love affair have always been firmly in the first category. main man andy butler takes classic house and disco sounds and uses them to craft dance music that has one foot in the past, the other cutting a rug on dancefloors right now. its a well-judged and expertly executed balance.
