ltd. transparent vinyl release

this lp vinyl edition is strictly limited.

crotocosm is an occasional collaboration between jordan gcz (lushlyfe, off minor) and willie burns (black deer, wt records). tracks were recorded together live in amsterdam and brooklyn between 1996 and 2017 its a tip!

for anma’s sixth outing we see a coupling of two remarkable talents from either sides of the atlantic, each taking two turns across a side of crisp wax. first up for the us side we have new york based trinidadian deep. personally mentored by chi-town legend ron trent and with his own unique vision of soulful deep house, he has imparted us with two deeply immersive cuts of intense dance floor electricity, laced with his signature percussive club spirituality! for the uk flip, london based will lister is a name to watch out for, a young producer who can boast his first wax release being put out on phonica’s own house label! taking things down a notch on the pitch fader, will has provided two slow-mo jams that reward the attentive listener with his sensuous and detailed production style. building tension meticulously before releasing energy with aplomb and polishing things beautifully with his class jazzy flair. lovingly pressed on 180g vinyl, hand stamped and labelled on a limited run.

the ballroom basement of a hotel. the place for jack nicholsons mean encounter with a ghost or possibly the place for a cocaine laden sexual encounter with part of the media agency elite. the label worked there. and so did pablo. buying talent, slinging drinks, just a couple sneering punk kids looking towards a completely different berlin future. there was a time when rough and tumble crossed paths with diamonds. maybe it created diamonds in the rough? pablo always sent the label demos before the label was a label and could do something with them. pablo has had a string of successes since then (too numerous to point out) and the label became a label. became uncaged. time to let this relationship out of the cage. it is a long way from that ballroom basement, now time to do some thrusting, propelled, grinding, noisy, sonic shit together. house music? is it really? just in case you forgot that no one is all grim guts and clenched teeth, that wild abandon sometimes comes in the form of an ecstatic beach dance, nick höppner comes around and forces you to go out to hasenheide park for a picnic and to pick up a bag of dirt weed. >so fucking buy it<

santonio echol is back with another release on detroit dancer. first track the intimate setting is a deep, warm & soulful techno production, b1 is a remix from the classic force field track which was originally released on kms back in the late 80s! here santonio gives it a warmer and deeper detroit feel to it. b2 is a collaboration with uks mike anderson on the vocals, again a warm, deep & soulful production, just as we like it. enjoy :)

placid angles, alias of seminal electronic artist john beltran. back to is roots on this one, tip!

auf dem debütalbum von gloved hands mit dem titel empty terminal verlässt der musiker die tanzfläche auf der suche nach etwas amorphem und weniger greifbarem. die acht tracks des albums haben einen ambienten charakter und konzentrieren sich mehr auf textur, raum und menschliche gefühle als auf die notwendigkeit von konstantem antrieb und schwung.

die a-seite, die rhythmischere und perkussivere der beiden seiten, ist von vagen echos und verwischten, sich langsam bewegenden akkorden durchzogen. unterschwellige trommeln schieben sich in und aus dem fokus. die klangquellen sind gleichzeitig weit entfernt und ganz nah. die vorhänge öffnen sich, um den blick auf eine kristalline melodie oder einen bruchteil einer gesangsphrase freizugeben, dann füllt sich der raum mit duftendem rauch und wird dunkel. es ist ein ort jenseits der tanzfläche. vielleicht ist es ein ort, an dem es überhaupt keine tanzfläche gibt.

die b-seite ist noch zerbrechlicher und durchsichtiger. vorder- und hintergrund sind undeutlich, so dass ein unscharfes geflecht zarter, ineinander verwobener formen und rhythmen übrig bleibt, die im warmen, schwach beleuchteten zwischenraum glitzern und sich gegenseitig berühren. mit einer wirbelnden mischung aus höhlenartigen bässen und süßen, aber niemals zuckersüßen melodien werden die details gedehnt und zu etwas neuem und doch vertrautem abstrahiert. die kompositionen kräuseln sich in der luft, tauchen auf und verschwinden, sind nah und doch unerreichbar.

but the continuous stream wouldn’t provide sufficient answers for long. observing rudimentary structures sewer sender became tantalized with a vision of reverbation from lower vaults of confinement. waves reminiscent of solid concrete yet deeply seated below the ocean surface form and merges with the narrow surroundings. manitou takes the first step by setting a clear form for something deep seated. proceeding extends the notion of martinous inaugural appointment “procedure” with a take on industrial drums reverbing from the depths. never (anthem) takes the first part of the ep to fruition with stripped anthemic stabs and alarms to a strict and cleanly distorted beat. jargon solidifies concrete solid with enigmatic percussions over jaunty kick patterns. i have lost again focus on a dramatic narrative with hypnotic vocal stabs rolling over an intense kick and climatic builds. needlessness frames the entire release combining both the concrete solid and the deep sea seated with again a take on martinous inaugural release “needless”&#894,,, leaving the frail thematic stab subdued by syncopated kicklike percussion and soaring hihats to create a toollike appearance.

nice price deal !!! hinter juno6 verbirgt sich ein bub aus leipzig, welcher eine ordentlich portion techno-deepness gefressen hat. er versteht sich als expandiertes liveprojekt mit einem setting bestehend >nur< aus silbern glŠnzenden maschinchen und einem dicken mischpult. das ist back to the raw vs. ich und die maschinen!!

great, trend setting split ep from anatolian weapons and linja.
