dan stielow mortazavi has an outer edged family background and a long testament in music starting in his teens with his first recorded project the product that was self released to cassette back in 1983. three decades later it saw a vinyl release on the dark entries label. the debut spite cathedral lp is made with his long-time musical partner karsten svendsen (to feed on others, hinsidan, ate23) and is released with a free bonus 7” on bodies on july 2nd. ultra minimalism streaming from the darkest of places still with a presence of a cold, cold love. with sparse elements they create dramatic scenery. industrial beats backed with something that sounds like hostage jazz and rock drummers fused with the loneliest of themes, epic at times and oh so broken at others. touching topics of man’s inhumanity, paranoid misinterpretations, the fragility of the mind, sex and broken homes without mouthing a single word.

strictly limited black and white vinyl edition. each record comes with different colour texture and is completely unique.

super deep african / new age / minimalistic / ambient crossover from cabo verde - not the typical record, a beautiful listening experience check! originally conceived as a book of 6 poems that developed into a record released independently in 1986, universo da ilha sits at the cross-section of many different genres. connecting contemporary new age and ambient minimalist movements with traditional west african and cape verdean elements from the past (griot voices, djembe rhythms, melancholic morna), vasco constructed his own universe where, in spite of the isolation of the island at the time, he transcended barriers and created a global record that was ahead of its time vasco used his own synths and drum machines, and with the help of a small group of friends (tey gonçalves on percussion, neney’s amazing griot voice, luis morais on sax and flute), he recorded this not-balearic-but-atlantic ambient odyssey on a 16-channel peavey mixer directly to an akai tape recorder without overdubs.

det ar grymt i norr is a compilation of exclusive tracks by artists reflecting the contemporary swedish underground electronic music scene: alvar, celldod, dissocio modus trans, hjarnkultur, agent side grinder, kinder aus asbest, aemit and yabibo hazurfa (special scandinavian letters not included). the title of the compilation, swedish for it s grim up north describes the atmosphere perfectly - in swedish, grymt also means cool. the gloomy cover was designed by erik soderberg. subtitled swedish synthetic darkness, the music on the album is intense, hard and cold at first listen but boiling with emotions underneath the surface. expect industrial, ebm, coldwave, acid and everything on the spectrum between electro and ambient. thank you for the music.

two miscreants of uk electronics have been drafted in by shipwrec for a 12- of techno debauchery. richard bevan and joshu doherty, aka posthuman, have been addicted to acid from their first contact with the caustic and cruel chords of the tb303. since then the two cousins have gone on to curate 10 years of i love acid as well as doling out some toxic classics of their own. the duo deliver the soured goods once again, starting the audio anarchy with the ominously titled -netflix and kill-. drum patterns are gnarled and nasty in this slow burning jacker where basslines boil over into a thick syrup of late night revelry. the flip is taken over by the bullying sounds of -the damocles syndicate.- the track rumbles with venomous menace. coils of 303 spite bulge and contract under the strict resolve of a stern beat in this ready made floor filler. two helpings from two malevolent masters of the silver box.

for this second release it is the young artist blicz who joins the volphonie team. he proposes two original tracks, mineral effect and 2nd story, which perfectly characterize the universe that the artist has developed in spite of his young age and which perfectly matches volphonies spirit, a hypnotic and effective techno that does not forget the melodies charged with emotions. each original track will be followed by its own remix: the first from flug which gives us a clean and ultra dance floor version of mineral effect, and the second from andre kronert, focusing on drums and groove. in line with the first release signed scan x, volphonie continues with this second opus to develop its universe by bringing together artists from different horizons but who all share this involvement in music and in the techno movement in general. because volphonie thinks, like many, that it is not just about music ...

j. f. burma is a new analog synth project of jeremy berman, a longtime friend of the bunker who we met via the forums of i-f’s cybernetic broadcasting system internet radio station in the early 2000’s. while living in brooklyn, jeremy spent many hours each week searching for undiscovered gems among the piles of records (and sometimes rat skeletons) at notorious greenpoint crate-digging spot the thing. inspired and educated by the music he was finding, he purchased his first modular and started building synthesizers and modules in spite of his lack of training in electrical engineering. currently, about half of his current eurorack rig has been diy’ed via trial and error.

theatre records was founded with the idea of concentrating the major genres of electronic music on a single stage. many centuries of theatral art have taught that the tragedy and the comedy are strictly linked in spite of their differences. with this pillar theatre records contains various genres that at the same time are separated in two different sub-labels. theatre white – the mask of the comedy includes the strenght and musicality of electro-house and progressive-house. theatre black – the mask of tragedy keeps inside the soul of genres as deep-house and tech-house.

much has happened since stereofysh released their debut album - the race , which has been received very positively by music critics. groove magazin described the album - fresh as a daisy , and - simply congenial , faze magazine as - made with love and - excellent result , freshguide found that the album - held the spirits high and set the bar even higher . features in intro and missy followed. dasfilter wrote: - stereofysh lets the elements melt into dreamy poppy house, that unfolds is magic as much on the dance floor than it does when hanging out at the next river bank. two years later, the latest output of the family band is available in the stores. their second album is a very personal one. the sound of the album is not only inspired by their life in berlin, but also their tour through the united states and hawaii, where they introduced the album to an international audience. important to know that the name of their new album, ohana, is an essential part of the hawaiian culture representing the importance of family and friendship connections, the company and coherence over generations. stereofysh themselves describe that the album has lead them to their musical and familial roots in a very special way. being on tour together, the shared experiences onstage and backstage have brought them closer together. this also shows in the music and lyrics of the ohana album: towards more closure, even intimacy. so the songs have gotten both, more exuberant and more melancholic. little daily life stories have their spot, so do the bigger puzzles that keep the band s minds busy. the optimistic and hopeful message, that the band radiates in spite of it, is, again, truly refreshing.

known as pantaleon perez prado, was the younger brother of the famous king of mambo. pantaleon, who came to europe in the 1950s, recorded several albums with unifunk. a powerful big funk band sound featuring: tullio de piscopo, mario rusca, giancarlo barigozzi, pino prestipino and others. escandalo!, as perez prado states in the brief sleeve note, is named after a new rhythm created by himself. *a rhythm you can dance to in freedom, without specific steps*. in spite of this naive launching, the opening track chicago banana is a declaration of intent, with its sly stone-esque groove. 9 out of 12 tracks are originals credited to composers of the unifunk circle, but the track list is careful to preserve prados well-established latin appeal, by including three standards such as brazil, el manisero and tequila.
the deluxe vinyl edition comes in gatefold sleeve with a cd-copy of the album included.

docile shapes tone and midi to make sense out of random noise. we refine and redefine melodies giving them the warmth of new life. our style is an unrelenting adherence to the simple. our groove moves cool and easy and is often following the path of a drunken love arrangement. our sound reaches childlike for a funk that is beautiful. docile is an artist label. our art is the craft of vinyl as well as the music on it. we are an independent voice that walks a lonely path no matter the cost. docile still believes.

oskar offermann and his frequent collaborator and label mate edward are two of the brightest rising stars in contemporary deep house music. as head of the esteemed white imprint, offermann has an envious catalog spread across his own label, aim, and japans storied mule musiq, edward has mostly confined his releases to white apart from a single drop on the mysterious giegling, and some outstanding remixes on other powerhouse labels. since their appearance in 2007, the pair of berliners has only one collaboration record between them in spite of a close association, large individual discographies, and frequent pairings behind the decks. it is thus with great ceremony that thema announces their north american vinyl debut with the four-track ep, verses.

more than six years into his career after several eps and a full album, there isn’t much known about ben gibson, and he is clearly keeping it that way with intent. gibson first emerged on jeff mills’ experimental, influential 6277 sublabel but then again vanished into the ether, he only reappeared three years later on perc trax, even more surprisingly with a full-length. since then, he’s gone on to steadily more notice with perc’s imprint, sect records, and most recently m_rec ltd in spite of the continuing lack of information. exposure isn’t the most important thing for us at chronicle though, and after hearing these five tracks, we saw exactly what it is that drew mills to him from the beginning. it is a sound that we find a perfect fit for the techno futurism of our chronicle series, and here we offer a platform for gibsons more sci-fi, ethereal sounding material, exclusively on vinyl for the fifth edition of our sublabel.

norm talley tackles techno. yes, you heard that right… in spite of 3 tracks on the original transmissions that fell a little closer to what the heads would expect from a very reliable source, it was that first one that everyone begged for more of. we must agree that those 3 minutes were just a little of a tease, so here is the full 9-minute extended cut of “man on the moon” that all of you asked for, and what a trip it is! certainly funky broken-beat techno is a new look for norm, but it’s pretty obvious in all 9 of the minutes here that this is a man from detroit making the music he knows best. there’s a groove and a touch here that speaks of soul and experience… although you may find this one in the crates of some of the new school techno elite, it’s safe to say they couldn’t have made it the way norm talley did. even if you remember part one you may be surprised where he takes it, but we’re even more pleased to say that “earth 2 moon” beats it at its own game. this one made our necks snap and heads turn the very first time.

we are back for another slab of genre-defying, ass-kicking, booty-shaking, timeless underground beats. get the curse music 07 features two cuts from the mysterious crackboy and two remixes from rising star gesaffelstein & toronto’s james teej. the question of crackboy’,s identity is burning everyone’s lips. who’s hiding behind this oh-so poetic moniker? theories abound, and rumor has it crackboy was last seen smoking on his pipe in the filthiest dens of the parisian underbelly. efforts to trace him since then have proved fruitless and until the next sighting, the enigma remains.
in spite of all this mystery one fact is crystal clear: with early feedback from ed banger’s busy p reaching the same conclusion that crackboy’s productions are solid gold, this is an ep with substantial crossover potential that will put the whole scene on the same wavelength.

always leena is the fertile breeding ground for inspiring artists that are new to the label and have caught the attention of mobilee’s label heads. this brand new release from smash tv is a perfect example of this vision in practice, as whilst the duo behind the name - holger zilske and kai preussner - have been in the game for quite some time, this is their first release on leena and it’s unsurprising that their high energy production and musical flair has been spotted and admired by the mobilee team. with releases in the past on labels such bpitch control, diynamic and get physical, now they are here to present ‘world wide wet’! all three tracks in the release come with the producers’ high energy dance-floor trademark, whilst in spite of it’s suggestive title ‘eating bullets’ takes it a bit deeper and gives you some space to kick back to. ‘world wide wet’ is a very welcome guest to leena, bringing more variety and spice to the imprints history so far…… enjoy

smaul recordings should not be suggestive of being fed by productions of acid pauli, only. however, creative times need being used and martin gretschmann - aka console - member of the notwist - alias acid pauli has collected lots of material whilst the scarce time left last year. on smaul 07 he follows his self-weaved red thread of the year. acid pauli confides more & more in a certain house rhythm paired with these melancholic layered sound-synthesis, already well known by him. astonishing things emerge out of acid paulis musical waves, sometimes even scientially croon quite a bit. nymbiotic (a) comes relaxed but holds a great melody up in the sleeve - seasonly peppered. symbiotic (b) rests bit on minimal house, but acid pauli never relied on that genre. thus, this track does not remain as it seems after three minutes. glitches and sounds break it up to evolve a new symbiosis. symbiotic becomes more timeless in spite of siren-climax peaks and an obsessive string chorus fading in the end.

how many years was it being said house music couldnt last? yet, in spite of all, it keeps reinventing itself again and again, and here is the perfect example. slavakis latest output is a true house track with deep atmosphere, straight-to-the point message, and classic chicago feel, bringing back the times when records were few and far between and not every two sounded the same. this one has it all - the melody that speaks to your soul, the beat that defines the rhythm of your heart, and the message that makes us all come together. having already found its way to ra charts and being supported by some of the greatest djs worldwide, please welcome this outstanding release from elusive rec., who proudly set themselves on the mission to make this music art again.

as an instrumental track all about love was released back in early 2008. to be found on the highly acclaimed big love ep from knee deeps love trilogy ep series. all about love received remarkable wide range club plays. and during the wmc this heavy clubtrack was the flavour of the month. in spite of everything the kneedeep guys couldnt let the track go. somehow they felt it could be a raving success if lyrics would be added. and beeing known for their big vocal workouts the kd duo teamed up with the voice of cafe del mar, misscathy battistessa! it turned out to be a more than fitting collaboration! knee deep and cathy - more than ever poeple battistess layed down this beautiful soul searching song for the summer season. three mixes will be served by ralf gum and mister lovebirds of kd fame himself. all about love is a must have and future classic tune.

side a of the 4th record from monotone leidenschaft provides furore. the producer newbee ash cawlin proofs once more his potential with this track. with wondrous slight devices and a very long breath he is able to design a timeless minimal techno sound, which reminds a little on g-man. with the track leda he provides a genuine hit potential more than the presence as a dj-tool. jack else aka subtronic produced a really succeeded and modern track, which matches perfectly between functionality, friskiness and brightness as well as between techno and minimal sound. the blowing groove is always multi-layered and a little capricious. in spite of that it radiates a defeating naturalness, which is slowly burning into the brain. the new track provides the typical heavy, pushing beats, which let you step on the same position. along with it there are endless traces of crackling and rustling
