moy kicks off his very own dynamics of acid imprint.

initial programs is a new project by respected ambient producer mick chillage. it is also micks first ever vinyl release and sees the irish artist focus on deep, acid-tinged techno and melodic electro. the background to the release is a simple one, first cut boss richard be was a long admirer of mick’s music and discovered an electro project he did as the shape. over the course of emails, pints and coffees, the music for initial programs first record came together. the resulting three tracks are melancholic, late night jams, the soundtrack to high speed cruises on the streets of south dublin.

doubled with a social network and technology addiction, life tends to be each day more and more mechanical. bionic life in a static system reflect mattias feeling about this matter of fact. human will soon tend to be machined: automatically, resuming their feeling to a simple emoticon. mattia is giving us his vision of this near future with these 4 tracks, proposing us some atmospheric and melodic pads and robotic electro rhythms added to the finest futuristic acid lines.

classic hongkong techno !!! limited repress

11 track double vinyl album from new mark broom and james ruskin supergroup ! limited initial run on marbled grey vinyl - similar look to the recent sfbsf003 surface 12inch full picture sleeve. the project, knows as the fear ratio, has seen two of the uks finest proponents of no-nonsense, immaculately sculpted techno locked in the studio together. these sessions have already borne three 12 inch titles - no time soon, erotic misery and night nurse – two of which were released on ruskins blueprint records, with the other pressed up on brooms beard man imprint. the fear ratio moniker was adopted following the release of these club-focused 12s, with the album project honing in on more abstract and experimental textures. ruskin revealed details about the project in an interview earlier this year. he said a live fear ratio project was also in the works, with a press release claiming these would commence in 2012. as the fear ratio, broom and ruskin delve into the hinterland of contemporary music. a space where cold atmospheres meet lush melody and tough, yet clipped pulsating beats. from the warm poly-rhythmic funk of >ax< to the deep spatial reverb of >guv 1<, the dub induced strains of >pinhead< and melancholic refrain of >morning blues<, ruskin and broom deliver their new artistic agenda

the -my initial grooves- ep is shane linehan s debut wax cut on his own -basic groove recordings- imprint. here he offers two dancefloor tracks which both take influence from early us vibes. -hidden harmony- pays homage to the new york sound, with rough scattered beats and moving chords. -make it a ritual- boasts raw, basic drums. this track is a slightly darker number, with a deep, tracky groove.

his release on jeff mills axis sublabel 6277 was the first in a series of amazing records, which made johannes volk become a very well known and highly acclaimed producer, liveact and dj. his initial appearance on heliocentric music features a stunning dancefloor bomb, which will spark large-scale-fires in clubs around the world.
the second track on this record comes from label-owner myon, who again delivers an epic journey through the periodic table of techno. for those, who listen closer!

big with: basic soul unit, ame, ingo sõnger, oliver hafenbauer, dixon, sevensol, dirk rumpf,roland appel,.. back from the initial mild pitch release >this feeling< last year, ribn deliver their overdue follow-up entitled >light black ep< - three tracks as ambivalent as the title suggests! the title track is a mesmerizing house/technohybrid of colourful darkness, reminiscent of classic early ribn releases: meandering synths and hypnotic sound fragments crawl around a stomping beat while the crunchy bass loop keeps moving things forward irresistably. first up on the flip side is >sin & figs<, a warm and pathetic summer gem that is destined to soundtrack any sunrise over the next couple of months. rich layer textures and sweet little melodies make this piece one of the most emotional moments of the mild pitch catalogue to date. closing the ep on b2 is >stonedrum<, a slow-motion house treat with oddly pitched vocals, a subtle groove and heavy low-end. its masked and fragile funkyness and crackling background noises complete a complex image that requires more attention than a 30-seconds preview clip to get a clue..

the title track, lost in shibuya, is perhaps our favorite track from the album. its a very evocative track, a 7 minute journey that revolves around a killer bassline, that captures the trancey techno vibe that made some of the most glorious moments of nineties techno. on the flip side, we asked one of our favorite producers to deliver a remix. his name is quarion and as part of drumpoet community, he is responsible for some of the best deep house sounds of the past years, and is one of the leaders of the neo deep house movement. quarion blessed us with a tribute to mood ii swing that is his dub infected killer usuki shinrin mix.

2003 release by lanoiraude aka arnaud malherbe on french imprint inital cuts. comes with fabrice lig remix.

2004 release by lanoiraude with 2 tracks of deeper techhouse/techno with detroitish, dubby and acidic ingredients.

first extract of his forthcoming album alone, words in a bottle sits right where we like to sit: at the border between house and techno. it s got the funk, the rhythm, the tribal beats and bassline that make you move. and its got the techno soul too. it s got the devil inside, but still feeds your mind with atmospheric waves of deepness. on the flipside, rodriguez jr., one half of french techno celebrities the youngsters, delivers the kind of remix you usually dream of but are never sure you re gonna get. it s a funky dark techno affair, with a killer hook.

pierre lx is a french deep house producer based in london. he had graced our first initial + release with his melancholic wonder madeleine . to start off 2009, we are offering his first proper 12inch release on initial cuts, with 2 deep cuts in true circa 95 old school chicago style. influenced by the sound of artists such as ron trent or chez damier, and labels like balance/prescription, pierre grants us with the sunny sketch drive , and percussion led gabita . 2009 is not looking that dark after all! also, we have asked old school/new school us house legend dj jus-ed to produce a remix of sketch drive . the result is a deep housers dream track, pure us style deepness.
