deeper floatiger techno mit detroit feeling -- auch für house fans

* walton drops his third instalment on tectonic in fine style, calling upon japanese influences to create a truly unique sonic across both tracks in the release. asian instrumentation meets directly head to head with the cutting edge sounds of a uk grime-techno axis to great effect. * ‘praying mantis’ captures all the charm of a fine japanese watercolour painting by means of some spectacular midi-harp programming. hi-hats and detailed percussion set a shuffling pace, building the mood up before a beautiful harp section unfolds and takes over, expertly programmed by walton to sound as if a master harpist had stepped into the room! as drums and bass join the party we have all the makings of a low-slung grimey masterpiece, both soothing and energising in a perfect zen balance. * flip then for ‘koto riddim’ which again brings japanese influences to the forefront of the track. walton programs classic sounding japanese percussion sounds along with grunting vocal cuts and a charming flutebased melody. as the track drops, it switches into a more familiar, grime-based palette of sounds, deftly arranged for most dangerous impac

deep house and downtempo gems

diskotopia is extremely proud to kick-start 2019 with girar, a four-track ep of new kaleidoscopic productions from lisbon-born, london-based producer silvestre. silvestre is no stranger to diskotopia, this being his third release with the label, debuting with the gritty noise-and-thump frank pike ep in 2014, and following that up with the more buoyant, latinate floresta ep in 2016. in addition to producing, silvestre also co-runs the padre himalya imprint, putting out 2018 s critically acclaimed focus ep from tombak virtuoso mohammad reza mortazavi, renato s 2016 alo alo, plus his own sport theories and all the things 12-s. with the girar ep, silvestre presents four idiosyncratic cuts: the bubbling psychotropic mutant rhumba of ir a sagres, woozy spliff-house deptford bus, rc surfer, a time-stretched reggaeton soundclash and the pseudo-jubilant breakbeat-house everybody is happy, testimony of a truly unique and exciting artist in the modern current of electronic music.

decks tipp!
following up from last years ep on pleasure unit the folks from miskotom deliver a lovely 5 tracker for our other imprint pleasure wave following on from g marie and jonny .,the guys(guy and girl) carry on in much the same vein but drop gears ever so slightly for some more sun drenched tropical sounds. the opener hyena s laugh could be wally and larry jamming with the locals on kong island. senoi takes you on the back of a pick up truck and transports you from the coastal town and out onto the dusty tracks and into the night for a ride through the jungle and onto the other side. 10th day is all about cocktails by the infinity pool in the secret resort and soaking up that late afternoon sun. kuai can che is all twilight era maze tougher drums and chimes with those floaty synths. seeing us out is final cut kopiek lying back on the boat as you leave the island and it all becomes a tiny dot on the horizon...float on.. file under tropical, balearic, beach sounds.

xxx004 is a compilation that will take you on a trip full of emotions. we carefully selected nine different tracks by nine different artists released on two different vinyls, suitable for all type of situations. part one is dancefloor ready with four tracks produced by artists from all over europe. the cover is designed by artofsomething, a well known artist in amsterdam nightlife. his artwork fits perfectly with the infinite nature of this release. watch the dance floor while playing them out loud.

synthesizer music from japan on safe trip. lovely! tip!

the third release on the emergent dreamtime label finds bobby bricks and miskotom sharing precious wax space with their own takes on laid back balearic house. bricks is up first, laying down a laid back house chugger propelled by fluttering synth lines that have spent time soaking up plenty of vitamin d. amazon blue does away with the drums for much of the tune, letting the new age synth tones do all the work before a mellow set of percussion comes loping in. miskotom has a more nocturnal feel at work on star master, but it s no less plush in its execution, while ad lucem ramps up fretless bass licks and plastic flute tones for another blissful excursion onto the astral plane.

underground japanese artist makoto murakami comes correct with threee variations on one tracks, ranging from playful and skippy house vibes to downright mean and moody technoid pounders. comes strapped with a rework from luca lozano and sj tequilla, safety at the highest level!

infuse return for their first release of 2017 with a fresh new look and talent in the shape of jack wickham, who provides a vinyl only 4 tracker of dance floor goodness. exchange kicks things off with a perky tech houser with an emphasis on groove whilst kotone delves deeper. cos keeps the energy high with a kinetic slice of tech-funk and brick rounds things off nicely with a brisk & sprightly romp.

hailing from lithuanian capital vilnius, miskotom appears on pleasure unit for a debut appearance that should appeal to all lovers of delicate, pop flecked house with a smooth 80s veneer. the production is perfect for the mood of the music, with the dusty groove of the title track embellished with eastern flute motifs and larry heard chords of the sweetest melancholy. - downtown - meanwhile revels in slap bass finery, and -tempelhof kite- gets a rubbery moog tone in the low end that offsets the woozy pads beautifully. kito jempere comes on board for a remix that dubs -tempelhof kite- down into a warm and sexy house cut of the highest order.

makoto returns to apollo with the primitive ep. as he builds his fast-paced style into a leaner, more aggressive manifestation of the soulful makoto sound, it quickly becomes clear that no one genre or signifier can fully describe this new collection of five tracks, from the rampant tribal ideology of *primitive* through the freestyle explorations of *ritual*.

the third diskotopia release of 2013 comes transmitted from somewhere out in deep space, courtesy of label mainstay, rbma alumni & tender hooks co-founder mau lin. building on from last years excellently received function open ep, mau lin continues his exploration of ruff and rugged polyrhythmic techno abstractions in fine style. the four original tracks which comprise the quotient ep, plus a stunning boxwork remix, are mau lins strongest and most visceral tracks to date.

taken from souled out remixed album which brings a new perspective to makotos 2011 album souled out by featuring remixes from makoto himself, lenzman, random movement, sinistarr, ena, bun and jabberloop.
