ltd repress !! sloboda reissue of this rare gem from the heydays of adelaide techno. originally released as a one-sided vinyl in 1999, the record fell into obscurity largely due to a great number of damaged copies being discarded. recovered from the original dat recording, outer rim has been carefully re-mastered and cut inside-out with reference to the original pressing.

after a few digital releases, lunar convoy delivers a masterfully executed debut ep to inaugurate newcomer belgian imprint norite’s vinyl series. counting northern electronics, hypnus records, semantica and prologue among his main influences, lunar convoy’s first effort is utterly coherent while not failing to evoke a plurality of emotions. imbued with sacred atmospheres, infiltrated with mysticism, ritualistic melodies and aesthetically charged rhythms, outer rim territories is a testimony of his love for deeper realms. on the a side, seswenna’s trancey lead synth and pumping bass opens the ep with an excursion towards distant planets. ryloth ventures into darker fields, scattered with whirring and saturated analog complains and haunted by ancient voices. on the flip side, eriadu sets a more mystical pace with syncopated kicks and floating eerie pad, to embark on a parallel dimension. allen’s take on ryloth is symptomatic of the us-based producer, speeding things up and offering a stripped down version filled with devastating hi-hats and firing toms to end this solid 4-tracker with the hypnotic-yet-effective sound that got him signed on attic music, m_rec ltd, polegroup or more recently granulart recordings. with such a captivating release, lunar convoy has set a high bar for the upcoming releases and left us under his sway.

its time to welcome another member to the family. let s all give a round of applause for naphta. with stellar releases on studio barnhus (palm trees love ep) & transatlantyk (solar empire ep) and getting rep from such fine djs and producers as jimpster, eddie c, justin van der volgen, soft rocks, zambon, mudd (claremont 56) and jacques renault - we simply had to sign this wonderful artist, dj and rbma graduate to omena. the debut release, baltic rim, will be out at the end of april and contains two tracks, kaiju stomp & striker eureka. remixes by polish super stars the phantom & jaromir aka ptaki and omena label boss tooli. if you ever wanted a record that combines exotic rhythms with your favourite sunset chords, dervish basslines and snake charming melodies then this release is for you. as always, the very talented ivo kiusalaas has provided the label art

kranky was a bit surprised earlier this year when jessica bailiff contacted us and asked if we wanted to preview her new album for possible release. we had no idea she had even been working on an album, let alone had completed one, and we were rewarded with a listen to her most compelling album to date.

generic modification in effect here on this 3 tracker from seasoned producer and remixer travelling incognito, hush-hush and strictly on the q.t. . straight out of east london, pacific rim dubs mix up deep, bumpin house with soul and boogie, rude acid with funk and fidget grooves with pure disco. in a mash-up style, but without the comedy beats and not a whiff of irony in sight, pacific rim dubs vol1 takes a selection of infectious snippets from the soul/ boogie vaults and blends them into proper house floor fillers

breaks mash-up of chemical bros >block rockin beats< & survivor >eye of the tiger<

autre fell asleep in a gondola and awoke in the krankenhaus. this is his first offering for the esp institute. side as everybody in the past is sharp techno aimed for the alleys of your mind gritty, driving, and melodic combinations of blown-out drums and classic electro riffs that relentlessly sprint for a good 4 minutes before a squelching arpeggio and angelic solo kick in tugging the heartstrings and lighting a beacon for those noble morning dancers lost at the front left speaker, channeling from the deep. on side b, frigo completely dismantles any expectations you might have after listening to its predecessor. an undoubtedly seductive samba rhythm comprised of distant snares, rim shots and cowbells holds together an aggressively active bassline, a steel drum harmony and synth solo that crawl all over like a funky worm. this track is truly something special, a gift for the prodigious selector when dropped in the deserved context, it has the potential to unlock unprecedented levels of euphoria. these two songs are as fluid as a paintbrush yet precise as a scalpel.

o celebrate two decades of skylax records and a long musical partnership, dj sprinkles and hardrock striker team up as s.h.e. (skylax house explosion) to present the first of three exclusive vinyl releases accompanying the mix cd for the 20 years compilation. all three eps feature previously unreleased music personally curated by dj sprinkles and hardrock striker. under the garage presents all new music from move d, jason grove & merwyn sanders, an expresso and signal st as a referential homage to the 80s club of new york city, a space that commercially paved the way for the evolution of dance music (music of the “house”) as well as spaces around which queer communities could feel safe - all to the sounds of djs like larry levan and frankie knuckles. jason grove is a long-time collaborator with skylax, along with signal st who has released on its sub label - wax classic - as garage shelter, but for move d, it is his first outing on the imprint. move d is one of the few veteran deep house djs still touring consistently having started out in the early nineties.

nice price deal !!! nice price deal !!! nice price deal !!! emotions electric with the first various ep for the label. strong quality selection of deep soulful detroit influenced techno tracks from some of the finest underground producers, artwork hand painted by abdul haqq / third earth. highly recommended!

2018 repress - standard cover ... us born and meanwhile in berlin residing kevin mchugh aka ambivalent presents his cocoon recordings single debut. ambivalence seems to the be the musical direction here. daylights is a sheer technomonster, musclepacked and full of dark detroit flavour but the used vocal samples and the harmonic synthstrings cant hide the magic touch of daylights. although the massive techno bassline is the star of this track we are sure it will find its way into the sets of many house djs, too. in contrast to that “swung out” appears way more like pure techno and cannot be filed as house at all. we are hypnotized by the shuffled rim shots and hi hats and ambivalent drives this one straight through the dub universe. techno is the destination and the dark vibe of swung out makes it a perfect after hour weapon.

freshly dressed after a double helping of made to measure goodness, aficionado size up another summer time smash for the sandal-wearing masses. keen to capture the coastal cool of the wirral peninsula, the label crack out the crystals and summon strange-wave sorceress brenda ray for another hit of her interplanetary excellence. wandering from new age haze to celestial rays on this tripped out trio, our genre blending genius takes the fourth world into the fifth dimension of psychedelic sound. our spiritual journey begins with the chakra cleansing solartude , an out-of-body beauty which bathes us in swirling flute, dreamy chimes and shimmering tape delay before sending us off towards the orient. eastern tones and hushed vocals ride a glistening sequence as this flawless fusion of exotica and dub suggests a medicated martin denny stumbling out of chinatown and into a humid mangrove. next stop on the voyage of self discovery is space dustin , a lunar lullaby for lucid dreamers which sees brenda spin fairlight mallets, celestial keys and whispered vocals into an immersive ode to the outer rim. floating free of space and time, perhaps you too can glimpse the excellent birds. over on the flipside and the temperature begins to rise. skip, hop to bop sees brenda dabbling with dub techno, setting basic channel synths and stirring strings to a skittering rhythm. dislocated and disoriented we descend into a strange subterranean world of rothschild parties, lynchian noir and muffled techno. surrounded by swirling voices, shuffling percussion grabs hold of you and all that remains is to sway.

detroit s keith tucker is a man of many names, the man behind aux-88, alien fm, dj k-1, optic nerve and more. if you have even a vague interest in the motor city s electronic output of the last 20+ years his name will be instantly recognisable as someone who turns out the highest calibre electro and techno jams, the type of records that look towards the future for inspiration, existing in the subterranea and sharing the same artistic vision of artists like juan atkins drexciya, erik travis, shake, dj stingray and many more. originally released on scottish imprint seventh sign recordings in 2005 detroit saved my soul is a modern classic. it features all the hallmarks of classic 313 techno and electro which is to be expected with tucker behind the boards. first cut it s a mood (detroit saved my soul) is minimalism done right - stripped back drums with minor synth stabs punctuating flurries of vocoders and kt s voice describing the d as he sees it to us via the medium of music. killer stuff. elektronik is up next, almost classically a-u-x sounding, pure electro beats for the heads. fast paced machine funk from 50 years time beamed back to 2017 to tell us what s really up. oh, watch that bassline, you could get into trouble. finishing the ep we are treated to my mental state , a slower paced, psychedelic electro cut with killer drums and rim-shots featuring, again, kt s vox weaving in and out of the mix asking where are you, what are you doing? . absolutely essential tracks from a modern day techno legend. essential stuff. detroit saved my soul has been legitimately re-released with the full involvement of keith tucker / seventh sign recordings for 2017 and remastered by london s curve pusher from the original sources especially for mint condition. 100% legit, licensed and released. dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at your new favourite reissue label - mint condition!

frits wentink s bobby donny label returns with a new ep from icelandic producer felix leifur. it s not often someone other than the boss releases on this label so you know this new one is quality indeed. leifurwho also works as david & hjalti and davíð sveinn bjarnason has two solid eps to his name on dirt crew. they show him to be a producer of succulent deep house and atmospheric prone beats. across four cuts here he offers jazzy vibes, organic percussive patterns and authentic styles filled with warmth and soul. opener unidentified blues is a loose jumbled of hi hats and cymbals, rhodes chords and shuffling drums that could well come from the studio of a certain moodymann. they are alive and enriched with real feeling from start to finish. hampton is another tender fusion of deep kick drums, tape echo and curious melodies all tied together by jostling groove that is beautifully incidental and unhurried. contact then brings more proper jazz drums to the table, with distant sax sounds and closely miced hits and spaces of cymbal all feeling loose and free as they suck you into their world. last of all, universal rim picks up the pace with a more rooted house groove, freeform percussion and wooden hits and trilling, echo drenched melodies all making for an intoxicating cut

tel avivian producer spark o first e.p for the confused machines imprint – variations in intensity delivers 5 cuts + 2 remixes (by dutch producer klankman & long time musical partner mule driver) freeing house and techno from any convention by using live to tape hardware jams and placing them in an intuitive and -under produced- form of electronic dance music that keep the result as live and dirty as possible.

luciano continue his newly launched basaec imprint with * saved & slaved*, a two-track release featuring collaboration with argenis brito. swiss-chilean producer and dj luciano has been at the forefront of underground electronic music for quite some time now, heading up the infamous cadenza imprint and releasing material for some of the industry’s leading labels such as perlon, desolat, cocoon and poker flat amongst many others. here we see luciano back on his recently launched basaec label, delivering some of his signature stripped-back, dynamic and emotive material ‘lost in lymbo’ takes the lead and sees luciano offer up a typically intricate twelve-minute excursion with subtly modulating and evolving percussion, spiralling synth swells, sporadic vocal chants and a smoothly unfolding aesthetic resulting in an archetypal and intriguing production from this forever forward-thinking artist. the latter half sees luciano paired with fellow cadenza artist argenis for ‘pato’s track’, stripping back the vibe to a raw cowbell and rim shot percussive-led state whilst lumpy subs, vocal murmurs and subtly unfolding flute like melodies ebb and flow throughout the composition.

make it funky is an edit / rework of rim and kasa love me for real taken from the sought after 1982 12inch too tough on sum sum records. alkaline has toughened it up in the percussion section to enhance the serious pig skin workout that drives this afro boogie bomb. and the vocals will have the dance floor shouting out in unison
