it has been eleven long years since urbs dropped his last album which was called “toujours le meme film”. back then, the musician, dj and producer created the soundtrack to a fictitious film noir, which was released on kruder & dorfmeister‘s g-stone label, but after touring europe he almost completely retreated from public life. he does not consider his creativity as being his career, but rather as a part of his life which rarely is subject to concrete planning, and that is why urbs quite consciously took his time to create his latest –untitledalbum.

debut release heralding from newly sprung, berlin label, temporize, “sounds from an unknown town” is also the debut release from mysterious italian, wrng pattern. promising the directional sound of “electronic productions with no real boundaries in sub genre”, this first release proves true to the labels intentions.
the limited vinyl release features five eclectic sounding tracks, each reflecting a variety of places on the musical spectrum that the label is planning to represent. on the a-side, listeners are presented with a rich uk and jungle fuelled dubby opener “ancient”, followed by the more delicately constructed techno leaning banger, “dip city lights”. pressed onto the underside is intricately the deepest track on the record, “montjua” tipping it’s hat to a more dubbed out electro palate. followed by the deep digging dubbed out charger “grrl skitty up up”. rounding off the release is “bb mix”, a stuttering, pad heavy track with off-kilter beats.

smbd aka simbad is back on gamm turf again after a longer break and is planning a few eps with seasonal themes for gamm. the first ep is summer and as you might expect he delivers three tasteful summer influenced reworks and remixes which we hope will be your perfect dj weapons over the summer months. if the broken(ish) co-op with alphabet s heaven of bootsy collins (rather be with you) won t do it for you or the supa soulful colonel abrams tribute (table 4 2) don t grab your attention, we guarantee that the stunning 4/4 rework with mike lowrey of jazzy jeff s summer classic (summertime) will be the cut at any summer festival...big jam if u ask us!

here at control room recordings we feature analog only synthesizer recordings and one off and special projects. our last release was from the human league and we are pleased to be following that up with another titanic group from the 80s visage. following the tragic death of steve strange in feb 2015 visage and steve strange s family are planning a series of events to honour steve s life and commemorate the impact that he made on the worlds of fashion, music and style. one of those events is the fifth and final studio album from visage. as a bridge between the highly successful fourth album hearts and knives and this future album we are pleased to be releasing a vinyl only special single.

yoshi and sbri, a long time friends, set about planning and performing in underground parties and off-locations in berlin. co-founders of libertine records, a techno/deep/electro label, they deliver their latest productions by their first ep with the other libertine resident saverio celestri.

following the royal success that was maximum joy, alfresco is back with another release. 2015 marks ten years of alfresco disco parties. the label is still only young, however, but the crew bring their party planning, djing and producing experience into the label.

boskas british funk museum article no. 808 (barn 013) was a track that just had to be released on green vinyl, one of the finest examples of norwegian neofuturistic anglofilia ever and still very much a staple of our dj sets. were no dummies at barnhus hq, so of course we’ve been planning a full boska release on the label ever since we put out bfman808 back in 2013. almost exactly one year in the making then, santa cruz ep arrives. four slices of that fresh, clean, bass-heavy and totally melancholic scando-house we know you love.

sacred geometry, complex polyrhythms and clean sound design all collide in the work of manchester outfit, akkord. with their critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album charting high in 2014s end of year lists, akkord are not resting on their success, and are already planning their next assault with this new body of work. hth020 consists of four tracks of much darker, moodier sounds, pairing monumental low-end frequencies with surgically precise production. the whole ep is centred around clammy, ominous atmospheres, underpinned by stomping beats and descending basslines, placing greater emphasis on the space in-between, and textured over with a doomsday ambience. the music that akkord create never strays out of their own minimalistic and direct approach to techno, but from there, and beyond, they touch on an ever-evolving variety of styles, which gradually drive us in front of an overwhelming and riveting soundscape. hth020 comes pressed on 180g grey vinyl, cut and mastered by matt colton at alchemy, with de-bossed artwork and a postcard insert.

central control unit has found out that the residential area in zone 2 no onger develops in concordance with >city< expansion. breach of initial protocol suspected. control system for energy distribution signals a slowdown in activity. planning for urban integration is no longer working between the original core and external super-structures

4 tracks, taken from the cd album! in >shortcake strategy<, fairytale-like melodies are backed with thought provoking harmonies that pave the way for an explicitly visual experience. we have been introduced to a new face of the berlin-based producer. shortcake is a simple recipe. it doesnt take a lot of planning or much thought or attention when preparing it, and in the end, it will be light, fluffy, sweet, and perfectly satisfying. falko might say the same about his approach to the creation of >shortcake strategy<, yet the end product sees his most dynamic and emotional productions to date, leaving us with the feeling that this comes from a strategy that requires far more thought, and is far more complicated than that of a sugary dessert.

strictly limited vinly-only release, make sure you get your hands on this! 180 gramm vinyl. shrink wrapped. amazing piece of music! all sound creation and sequencing was improvised in real time and recorded to stereo with no processing.
steevio delivers the second offering in the >modular techno< series of live improvised analogue recordings extracted from his practice sessions for the freerotation electronic music festival which he organises with partner suzybee. with vol 2 steevio takes his modular jams to the next level with more complex sequencing and refined harmonics in contrast to the deliberately raw vol 1. only basic editing to extract the individual tracks from the 1 hour live sessions was used, and there was no prior planning involved other than a choice of tempo and key. each session evolved from a totally blank canvass on steevios eurorack modular synth and moog voyager.

big tune alert! these white label hand stamped promos will be worth their weight in gold for any self respecting dj planning on staying ahead of the curve over the coming months. the man of the moment huxley (hypercolour / 2020 / cecille) adds a new remix to this package. peak time party gear, as the title would suggest only 250 hand stamped copies in existence.

here is the first tablons release ! product of a collaboration between several artists, tablon 001 is particularly linked to greece. for his first vinyl release, arnaud comes with a brilliant organic track, colloc vinzaïe. manipulating his own recordings with talent, he creates a sensitive and unique piece. the greek duo we sink delivers a booming remix, telling a certain story with some retro touches. the b face is made of two featurings. >disused<, composed with his friends cleonce and mos eisley, builts a planning, ambient but as well for to the floor groove. >i keep control< with the greek singer matina sous peaus intervention finishes this release with a very intimistic atmosphère.

limited to 300 hand stamped white labels, big tune alert! these white label hand stamped promos (well ahead of the official digital release) will be worth their weight in gold for any self respecting dj planning on staying ahead of the curve over the coming months. peak time party gear, as the title would suggest. strictly limited to 300 copies

at last - the essential >application of language< ep tracks mastered properly ! features a new and completely unreleased version of >keep planning< previously thought lost. other tracks unavailable on vinyl for many years. comes in a twice hand-stamped printed downwards jacket . thought lost for many years we present a new revision of the brilliant application of language tracks taken from the original >lino11< 12 inch. but with the added bonus of a completely unheard and brutal take on >keep planning< from 1996... properly mastered for the first time by our very own techno luvvy matt colton - this is truly linear, hypnotic, low-fi machine funk. back in the early days of downwards only the surgeon titles were mastered properly as o connor didn t think his own productions were worth it (having been transferred direct from tape)... features the brand new downwards printed jacket and two hand stamps

dorninger (who has chosen the prickly project-name >dorn< which means >thorn< in english) gets presented on this vinyl in his proven quality as an accomplished sound-explorer all across electronic soundscapes. you will find a range from dance-tracks containing fluffy breakbeats, psychotically screwed basses and flogging electric shocks (hard timz, my little synthpopinferno, la batteria della noce) to the point of impulsive (no) wave rave (crying) as well as nervous chill-in-grooves (night oh night). due to the fact that an album-cover provides space for 2x30x30cm art it is more than obvious that houztekk came in touch with the vienna based artist julie monaco as the houztekk crew admired her work since a certain period of time. as well this was the reason that maximilian m. contacted julie monaco telling her that a record which perfectly corresponds with her graphics is in planning.

one of the founding members of the ostgut ton family, marcel dettmann recorded his debut 12inch for the label alongside ben klock with >dawning< some five years ago. now after a string of highly praised releases, his debut album >dettmann<, and a handful of uncompromising records on his own mdr label, we arrive at this new ep for his home label. launching us into the space-race, >barrier< documents those tense moments of discovery as we reach into new territories. dettmanns unique textured sound design sets the scene before diving into >translation one< - a frantic, quivering and snaking snapshot into the kind of techno the producer stands for these days. metallic bass spins sideways, while ever-modulating percussion drives forward. the sinister sci-fi tones of >translation two< warble and jive in glorious syncopation as a systematic heavy kick and hat program works the bass frequencies and rhythmic zones. open and spacious, its meandering theme hangs deliciously between paranoia and positivity. in >planning< dettmann further explores his inclination for intricate, tripping synth patterns. a staggered, wonderfully immersive theme builds from delayed staccato notes in a classic analog sequence, underpinned by rumbling dub bass pressure

its fitting that this summer season sees months of culprit planning and scheming come to fruition. a relationship that began almost four years ago, between culprits la crew and parisian native shonky, has finally been realized, with the mercurial frenchman stepping up for his first full culprit release, >oasis<. shonky first ventured to la when droog hosted him on the now defunct terrace space at avalon in late 2007. since then he and culprit founders droog have become close cohorts, sharing the same musical wavelength, having playied together half-a-dozen times at locations ranging from miami, barcelona and los angeles. shonky was finally introduced on the label earlier this year, when he and dyed soundorom collaborated on a remix of lee foss >your turn girl<

when some collaborations occur, it feels like fate has been paying close attention, planning something special. on one hand: bugge wesseltoft, pianist, composer and pioneer of electronic jazz, on the other: henrik schwarz, one of the most sought after producers of electronic music who has remixed stars from michael jackson to ane brun. this combination may not seem as radical as once it might, as in the days before bugges new conception of jazz, but the results most certainly are: this does not feel like your typical electronic jazz outing. its a super-group in microcosm. wesseltoft comes from a jazz background and has moved towards electronic music. he started on the ecm label with jan garbarek, and later collaborated with club music legends like laurent garnier and francois kervorkian on stage. schwarz comes from the chicago/ detroit techno culture, and performs at music festivals and in clubs on all continents. he has been moving towards the jazz and improvisation

netto houz are back with an extended and newly mastered version of >bad man speaks<, first released on their album >room 7107<, published on ladomat 2000 in 1998. >the prince of dance< elbee bad explains the difference between house and house music to an oldschool four-four- rhythm running on 113 bpm. the flipside of the 12 inch contains the previously unreleased deep house summer track >knuggles<, which builds on beautiful chords with a live rhodes piano jamming to it. berlin based knuggels recordings, run by dj kriton together with netto houz, is planning further to release new and previously unreleased material by netto houz as well as edits and remixes of their tracks from the 90ties.

berliner martin dawson and polish duo catz n dogz join forces to bring us this fierce three track ep entitled no nights. the first track on this release is no nights. brimming with warm pads and an accusing, dark lo-fi synth line this version has a deep vibe to it and the ability to really get under ones skin. following this the berlin-polish team hit us with no nights (beatz mix) a catchy tech-house number with a lo-fi synth line sporadically accompanied by a melodically decending dubby synth. combined with the crisp vocal line this makes for a very promising track. no days, the last track on this release gets straight to business with distorted vocals and a menacing bassline that intertwine throughout the track. varying rhythmical flourishes keep it interesting, while tripped out synthesized sounds guarantee to get any dancefloor grooving. we couldnt be more pleased with the results of this tenacious trio and we look to the future in hope that they are already planning further collaborations.

after ellen alliens album >dust< kicked up a lot of the same in 2010, it was only a matter of time until the right remixers for the album were found. no less than the creme de la creme of today s house scene was allowed to have their way with these tracks. and the results are more than fitting. although we have already burned a full-length cd containing all of the remixes they created, we are not planning on leaving the vinyl-loving faction (or whats left of them) out in the cold either. this 12 inch features three powerful club tracks from three outstanding remixers. each unrivalled in their own space.

brooklyn duo creep are set to release their debut single, days, on tuesday, february 14th 2010 through young turks. featuring guest vocals by the xxs romy madley-croft, >days< is a ghostly blend of romys ethereal voice and creeps sinister beats, blending tones of goth, shoegaze and r&b to create darkly prophetic and orchestral soundscapes. check out the stream for >days< on pitchfork where it premiered. remixes on the 12 inch come from deadboy and azari & iii. deadboy turns >days< in to 2-step, dancefloor melancholia with azari & iii turning in a 6 minute chicago house indebted mix. creep are producers/ djs lauren flax and lauren dillard. lauren flax is an internationally renowned house dj and producer. up next, creep will release the single you, featuring nyc twins and r&b duo nina sky, as well as a collaboration with planning to rock. a full length is planned for 2011... stay tuned!
