Peter Thomas Sound Orchester - The Tape Masters Vol.1 - Library Music (2x10")

25 killer library music cuts by the German film music maestro on audiophile pressing in deluxe 2x10" set. Uberrare and never released before material from 1968-1976, sourced from Peter Thomas' personal reel-to-reel tape archive. Limited edition of 500 pieces.

From brassy big band funk, space jazz, krauty synth experiments to proto-hiphop, cosmic schlagers, heavy easy listening, soulful soundtrack moods and absurdly dreamy LSD ballads, this compilation encompasses the composer's most obscure and yet most transcendent work.

Peter Thomas is widely acknowledged as Germany's most inventive film music composer of the 1960s and 1970, best known for his iconic soundtrack work. He scored over 600 films and episodes, from the crime blockbusters of Jerry Cotton and Edgar Wallace to indie arthouse films like Playgirl, Bruce Lee's The Big Boss and the extraterrestrial Space Patrol and Chariot of the Gods.

His recordings for music libraries often provided an even more leftfield approach. Their visionary 'dope beats' appeal provoked a keen interest from vinyl aficionados, beatmakers and rare groove DJs alike. Unavailable for the public, the original "for professional usage only" albums are now sought-after collector's items that fetch astronomic prices on the 2ndhand market.

This double 10" album is the definite selection of Thomas' best library cues from the Golden Ring Records, KPM and DeWolfe catalogues, many of them available publicly for the first time - plus four recently unearthed "lost" tracks from Warner Chappell's CPM Archive series that have never been released on vinyl before. All music was carefully transferred from Peter Thomas' private master tapes and cut in full dynamics, housed in a beautiful fold-out cover with liner notes and private pictures. The compilation was realised in cooperation with Peter Thomas' son Philip who takes care of the Peter Thomas Sound Orchester catalogue after his father's death in 2020.

Romania’s Floog has grown to become a reputed figure in the microhouse scene for his releases on the likes of Visionquest, TARTOUFFE, Moscow, Enfasi and Atipic among many others and here we see him teaming up with Brizman the minimal alter ego of Techno stalwart Gel Abril, his music under this guise has found a home on the likes of Caprices Records, Subtil Records and SCI + TEC. This new collaborative project however will see its release via Adam’s Bite and follow recent output from IULY.B, Lumieux and Audio Werner.

Title-track ‘Lose Connection’ leads, laying down a bouncy sub bass line underneath a crunchy saturated drum groove, twitchy synth licks and glitched out vocal lines before ‘That Hook’ edges into more dynamic and meandering realms, fusing an amalgamation of synth lines, modulating flutters and vocal whispers atop a heavily swung rhythm section.

‘True Believer’ then rounds out the EP, featuring Stockholm, Sweden’s Linn Stern, the powerful collabrative closing cut embraces a more anthemic feel with cinematic atmospherics, robotic voices, fluttering arpeggio licks and skippy, raw drums intertwined with powerful vocal lines.

Turntable / Plattenspieler - Technics SL-1210MK7

Technics' SL-1200 turntable is back! This beautiful, matte black MK7 version is a direct-drive turntable with a 'coreless' motor that is lighter and more powerful than before. Thanks to its design, not only is it extremely reliable, but cogging issues should now be a thing of past. That means you can concentrate fully on doing what you do best.
SL-1210 MK7: Classic turntable with a modern look

Apart from its colour, the MK7 SL-1210 may look familiar, but it has a few new additions on board. This includes a microchip that comes from Blu-Ray technology and makes the turntable more accurate, also when scratching. It's possible to adjust the power as well as the braking time of the motor and, if you have a stylus that supports it, you can make use of 'reverse platter play'. Another change is the use of removable cables instead of fixed ones.

Die Technics 1200-Serie
Der originale SL-1200 wurde im Jahr 1972 als direktgetriebener Plattenspieler vorgestellt und erfreute sich sehr schnell einer außerordentlichen Beliebtheit. Er wurde weltweit ungefähr 3,5 Millionen Mal verkauft. Charakteristisch waren von Anfang an das hohe Antriebsmoment, die einfache Bedienung und die hohe Langlebigkeit. Er wurde sowohl von Audio-Enthusiasten als auch von DJs hochgeschätzt. Letztere verhalfen dem SL-1210 zum Kultstatus, gerade im Bereich der elektronischen Dance Music. Auch heute noch wird diese Modellreihe von DJs in aller Welt außerordentlich geschätzt.
Höchste Klangqualität getreu den Maßstäben der Technics Philosophie
Eisenkernloser Direktantriebsmotor für eine stabile Rotation und kräftiges Antriebsmoment

In einem direktangetriebenen Plattenspieler wird ein langsam rotierender Motor verwendet, der direkt mit dem Plattenteller verbunden ist und die Bewegung unmittelbar an diesen weitergibt. Das bringt zahlreiche Vorteile mit sich: Das Gerät erreicht eine beeindruckende Umdrehungspräzision, ein extrem kraftvolles Antriebsmoment, eine hohe Zuverlässigkeit über die gesamte Lebensdauer und ist wartungsfrei. Lange Zeit wurden dem Direktantrieb kleine Unregelmäßigkeiten in der Rotation durch das sogenannte Rastmoment nachgesagt. Für den neuen SL-1210MK7 wurde daher ein neuer Direktantriebsmotor entwickelt, der mit einem eisenkernlosen Stator arbeitet und damit die Ursache für das Rastmoment vollständig behebt. Gleichzeitig erreicht die Antriebskraft der Rotormagnete im SL-1210MK7 ihr Optimum. Der Spalt zwischen dem eisenkernlosen Stator und den Rotormagneten wurde so verbessert, dass es dem Drehmoment des früheren Modells SL-1200MK5 ähnelt. Das gleichmäßige Rotationsverhalten und kräftige Antriebsmoment ermöglichen eine präzise und originalgetreue Klangqualität bei allen Schallplatten.
Der empfindliche Tonarm sorgt für eine hochpräzise Abtastung des Schallplattensignals

Der Tonarm, der die in der Schallplattenrille enthaltenen Musikinformation ausliest, ist eine statisch ausbalancierte Konstruktion in S-Form – typisch für Technics Modelle. Das Tonarmrohr besteht aus leichtem, hochfestem Aluminium, während die Lagersektion der kardanischen Aufhängung über ein gefrästes Gehäuse sowie hochpräzise Lagerelemente verfügt. Dies sorgt für einen hervorragenden Abtastvorgang mit einem Minimum an unerwünschten Nadelbewegungen selbst unter rauen Bedingungen, wie z.B. beim Scratching.
Zweischichtiger Plattentelleraufbau mit verbesserter Vibrationsdämpfung

Der Plattenteller des SL-1210MK7 besteht aus einer zweischichtigen Konstruktion. Vibrationsabsorbierender Kautschuk überzieht die gesamte Unterseite des Tellers, der aus einem Aluminium-Spritzguss gefertigt ist. Diese Verbundkonstruktion verhindert unerwünschte Resonanzen und bietet hohe Stabilität bei überragender Vibrationsdämpfung, wodurch die Schallplatte vor schädlichen Vibrationen gestützt wird. Das Ergebnis ist ein ungestörter, authentischer Klang.
Hochstabiles Gehäuse und effektive Dämpfungsfüße für umfassenden Vibrationsschutz

Das Chassis des SL-1210MK7 besteht aus einem sehr stabilen, extrem vibrationsarmen Gehäuse. Das Aluminium-Spritzguss-Chassis ist fest an einer Konstruktion aus ABS(Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymer)-Kunststoff befestigt, das mit Glasfasern verstärkt ist. Die somit erreichte Zweischichtkonstruktion bietet eine Festigkeit und Vibrationsdämpfung auf höchstem Niveau und garantiert somit eine originalgetreue, dynamische Soundreproduktion.

Für eine optimale Dämpfung sorgen die Dämpfungsfüße aus einer Feder-Gummi-Konstruktion. Der hohen vertikalen Dämpfung steht ein sehr steifes Verhalten in der horizontalen Bewegung gegenüber. Diese Kombination sorgt für eine unkomplizierte Handhabung besonders beim Scratchen und für eine sehr gute Störfestigkeit – auch bei sehr hohen Schallpegeln.
Abnehmbares Netz- und Signalkabel für höhere Flexibilität

Die Netz- und Phonokabel des SL-1210MK7 sind abnehmbar, sodass sie, z.B. im Falle eines Defektes, schnell ausgetauscht werden können. Die vergoldeten Phono-Anschlussbuchsen sichern dabei beste Klangqualität und Kontakteigenschaften.
Hoher Bedienkomfort trifft auf innovative Funktionen
Anpassung des Start-/Abbremsmoments

Der SL-1210MK7 überzeugt mit innovativen Motorregelungstechnologien, die vor allem bei der neuesten Generation von Blu-ray-Spielern eingesetzt und perfektioniert wurden. Durch einen Microcomputer hält der Regler sowohl dem normalen Abspielvorgang als auch anspruchsvolleren DJ-Anwendungen wie z.B. dem Scratching problemlos stand. Zudem kann der Nutzer das Startmoment und die Abbremsgeschwindigkeit an seine individuellen Vorlieben anpassen.
Pitch-Funktion für eine präzise und stabile Feinregulierung der Geschwindigkeit

Die Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit des SL-1210MK7 kann auf 33-1/3, 45 oder 78 U/min eingestellt werden.* Der Pitch-Einstellbereich liegt bei ±8%/±16%. Dies ermöglicht eine hochpräzise und stabile Feinanpassung der Geschwindigkeit sowie das perfekte Matchen z.B. zweier SL-1210MK7 Einheiten im DJ-Betrieb.

* Die Verwendung von 78 U/min wird über den Haupt-Ein-/Ausschalter aktiviert.
„Reverse Play” für maximale Kreativität

Werden die Geschwindigkeitstaste und die Start-/Stop-Taste gleichzeitig gedrückt, dreht sich der Plattenteller in die Gegenrichtung. Die Reverse Play-Funktion wird über den Haupt-Ein-/Ausschalter aktiviert. Dies eröffnet dem DJ neue, kreative Möglichkeiten. Dafür muss das Tonabnehmersystem allerdings für den Scratch-Betrieb ausgelegt sein.
Traditionelles Design – perfekt für den DJ-Einsatz
Nadelbeleuchtung dank heller, langlebiger LED

Bei der Teleskop-Nadelbeleuchtung kommen ein neuer Druckmechanismus sowie eine helle, langlebige weiße LED zum Einsatz. Zudem wurden der Beleuchtungsbereich sowie die Belichtungsintensität angepasst. Verglichen mit den Vorgängermodellen ist somit eine bessere Sichtbarkeit der Nadel gewährleistet – selbst in sehr dunklen Umgebungen.
Durchgängig schwarzes Design

Die Bedienelemente sowie der Tonarm des SL-1210MK7 sind in Schwarz gehalten. Gleichzeitig wurde die Form der Bedienelemente der früheren Modelle beibehalten. In Kombination mit der matten Textur des schwarzen Gehäuses strahlt der Plattenspieler einen coolen Chic aus. Die LED-Tastenhinterleuchtung kann individuell in blau oder rot angepasst werden.

Leroy Vinnegar - Glass Of Water LP

Bassist Leroy Vinnegar has gone down in history as the person who popularised the "walking bass" style in jazz. He was worked with Chet Baker, Eddie Harris, Les McCann, Lee Konitz, and Stan Getz. His milestone 1973 album 'Glass Of Water' featuring Dwight Dickerson on the rhodes and wurlitzer slipped into obscurity shortly after release. However, in recent years it has been rediscovered and has become highly coveted as a grail for crate diggers and jazz collectors worldwide.

On High is proud to present the first ever reissue of this long forgotten classic. Remastered and pressed on audiophile virgin vinyl to fully capture the wonderful spacey emotion of Vinnegar's classic LP.

Indira Paganotto - Gipsy Queen / Heaven Is For Warriors

DJ Support: Marco Faraone, Victor Ruiz, Marco Carola, Cristian Varela, Joseph Capriati, Mauro Picotto, Ilario Alicante, Wehbba, Konrad, Anna Tur, Joris Voorn, Anna Reusch, ANELA

Indira Paganotto and her ARTCORE imprint stand out from the crowd with an exponential sense of uniqueness, front-running pioneers of the new Psy-influenced techno boom. Indira’s upcoming release ‘Gypsy Queen’ is another perfect example of how she has garnered so much love and support for her unique vibe and ethos to date.

Title track ‘Gipsy Queen’ begins in eccentric fashion. A gentle strumming of flamenco guitar lines, a distorted chorus of castanets and an enchanting vocal open the track to remain a key feature throughout waves of razor-sharp synths and hurtling drums sequences. The dips in pace are beautifully accompanied by the stirring vocals but before long the flamenco influences are overrun by the trance-tinged techno Indira is famous for. The out of body like energy summoned by the strings and haunting effects of ‘Vendetta’ offer a different audio experience to that offered by the EP’s title track. With a visceral intensity that becomes more acute following each drop there are several curious effects and tones at play to make for a somewhat dramatic techno heavy melody.

Opening the flip side is ‘Heaven Is For Warriors’ , this comes in hot with thumping drum grooves and crisp percussive drive, supplemented by ominously celestial undertones and rave-inspired musicality throughout-a sinister tirade of punchy electronic grit, marching to a racy tempo built for peak-time sets. The release closes on ‘Requiem’, further playing on the darkened divine theme throughout the EP. Beyond its atmospheric intro, you’re greeted with a marauding flurry of watertight Techno goodness layered with synths, sirens, pads and much more.

There’s no denying Indira’s oneness when considering groundbreaking techno talents; This EP serves as a solid reminder of her commitment to trailblazing a path into the genre’s new and exciting age.

DJOKO - Rapture Ep

Repress !

Heavy House Society starts 2022 with a high quality EP from Cologne based German artist DJOKO, and this also comes with a remix from the head honcho himself Sidney Charles.

The last track is the Sidney Charles remix of My Crib, for his remix he takes this a little deeper which offers a great alternative to the excellent original mix. A more sub bass groove free’s up frequencies in the mix giving more space for the melodies to breathe in the track and take this on a stunning floating groove.

This is a superb release featuring 2 amazing artists, and for sure this with deliver the goods for Heavy House Society yet again

Lumieux - When I Think Of You

Switzerland’s Adam’s Bite welcomes Romanian artist Lumieux onto its roster this July with the ‘When I Think Of You’ EP.

Hailing for the Romanian capital of Bucharest, Lumieux is one of many artists coming out of this region and defining a style that’s driven by stripped-back percussion, subtle nuance and detailed intricacies. Lumieux’s productions have found a home on the likes of Subtil Records, Antrakt, Dissonant and UVAR among others, while as a DJ he operates a core member of the prized Sunrise Agency out of Romania. Here though, we see Lumieux delivering his latest EP for Adam’s Bite, following recent material from IULY.B, Flabbergast and Audio Werner.

‘Psycho’ leads the EP, laid out across nine and a half minutes with murky dub chords, fluttering bass tones and choppy vocals intertwined with a swinging drum groove. ‘Tifosi’ follows and retains a similar aesthetic, bringing choppy stab sequences and wandering bass licks to the forefront, underpinned by shuffled modulating percussion and crisp drums.

‘What You Are To Me’ opens the B-side next, stripping things back to twitchy acid tinged synths, hypnotic vocal lines and vocoded voices while bumpy delayed tom toms, weighty kicks and congas subtly evolve and unfold throughout. Lastly ‘Nebula’ rounds out the EP, employing a plucked stab-led bass groove at its core alongside expansive delayed atmospherics and a crunchy saturated rhythm.

Various - Polyphonic Cosmos: Sonic Innovations In Japan (1980-1986) 2x12"

Ever since he made his first trip to Japan to DJ, Optimo Music founder JD Twitch has been bewitched by Japanese music, and particularly the vibrant, imaginative, and often far-sighted sounds which emerged from the island nation during the 1980s. Now he’s put years of digging in Japanese record shops to good use on Polyphonic Cosmos, the latest release on his compilation-focused Cease & Desist imprint.

Subtitled ‘A Beginners Guide to Japan In The ‘80s’, the collection offers a personal selection of Japanese gems recorded and released between 1981 and ’86 – a period when advances in recording and musical technology offered the nation’s artists and producers a whole new tool kit to employ. When combined with the unique musical culture of Japan, where local traditions are frequently fused with Western styles to create timeless, off-kilter aural fusions, this embrace of locally pioneered music technology had spectacular, often unusual results.

Eight years in the making, Polyphonic Cosmos provides an endlessly entertaining musical snapshot of Japanese music of the early-to-mid ‘80s with all of the open-minded eclecticism and sonic twists that you would expect from the Glasgow-based DJ.

Compare and contrast, for example, the gently breezy, morning-fresh folk-plus-electronics bliss of ‘ばら二曲 Baranikyoku (Fellini&Rota)’ by World Standard – the most familiar alias of long-serving musician/producer Sohichiro Suzuki – and the hallucinatory, slow-motion tribal rhythms, post-punk rhythms and tape delay-laden electronics of Imitation’s ‘Exotic Dance’. Or, for that matter, the tipsy mid-‘80s electronic reggae of Pecker’s ‘Sha La La’, the grungy but melodic post-punk strut of ‘You Go On Natural’ by Earthling (a track Twitch accurately describes as “sheer unrelenting groove”), and the unearthly, swirling sonics, new age instrumentation and flotation tank vocals of prolific (and seemingly mysterious) act Geinoh Yamashirogumi’s ‘Rimme Kohkyogaku Meiki’.

It’s a credit to JD Twitch’s curatorial skills that the quality never dips, and sonic surprises lurk around every corner. Consider for a moment the hard to describe, far-sighted audio immersion of D-Day’s ‘Ki-Ra’ – all languid post-pop guitar, enveloping chords, spoken word vocals, shuffling 808 beats and marimba melodies – and the two contributions from video games soundtrack specialist (and driving instrumental synth-pop specialist) Hiroyuki Namba.

The collection naturally includes some selections that have long been favourites in Twitch’s DJ sets – see Masumi Hara’s ‘Your Dream’ – as well as a handful of tracks from artists who may be more recognisable to those with only rudimentary knowledge of Japanese musical culture. The great Yasuaki Shimizu, whose work as Mariah has become far better known in recent years thanks to reissues of some of his most magical albums, is represented via ‘The Crow’, a picturesque chunk of horizontal, hard-to-define jazz-not-jazz smokiness, while the collection fittingly concludes with a sublimely funky, oddball electronic workout from Yellow Magic Orchestra legend Ryuichi Sakamoto (the frankly incredible ‘Wongga Dance Song’).

FJAAK THE SYSTEM LP 4x12"

4x12inchFJAAK010
Fjaak
27.06.2024

Fuelled by the Berlin-based duo's love of club music in all its forms ''FJAAK THE SYSTEM'' is FJAAK's most definitive album to date, a winding sonic odyssey that surveys the rave landscape, dipping between frantic euphoria and deep contemplation. Featuring sizzling collaborations with Modeselektor, Skee Mask, Red Eye and J.Manuel, the album draws a bold line under FJAAK's 15 years of mischief and mayhem, pulling together 23 tracks (culled from over 300, no less) that truly reflect the duo's boundless enthusiasm for the dancefloor. Grazing UK breakbeat, techno, 2-step, d'n'b, jungle, trip-hop and ambient, these elasticated, hybrid bangers paint a vivid picture of FJAAK's utopian club ideal, a place where genre boundaries evaporate and only the groove remains. Since graduating in audio engineering in the early 2010s, FJAAK have been challenging the logic of a maddeningly conservative club scene with their hardware only live shows, DJ sets a myriad of record releases. In 2019 they launched the label and platform Spandau20 with a steady flow of records and a mixtape series featuring new talent and established artists. With their rebellious attitude and notoriously energetic live sets, the duo have brought back a crucial lost ingredient to the rave: playfulness. And if their well-loved albums 'FJAAK', released on Modeselektor's Monkeytown imprint, and 'Havel' set the scene, 'FJAAK THE SYSTEM' rises above and beyond expectations, creating a new benchmark. It's not just blood, sweat and tears either, FJAAK's advanced technical knowhow and love of synthesizers and drum machines helps them formulate a sound that's conscious of dance music history, but focused on a brighter, more equitable future. Their second single 'And You Feel' is an emotional rollercoaster combining UK breakbeat with a dubstep-influenced bassline wobler and alluring vocals, emulating the moment the mind becomes a tranquil void through the crescendo of adrenaline like a strain of physical exertion. This is reflected on their new music video which shows an unexpected ''rage room'' scene.

Mit dem SL-1200MK7 erweitert Technics sein erfolgreiches Sortiment an DJ-Plattenspielern nun um ein Modell in Silber. Der neue SL-1200MK7 verfügt über die gleichen technischen Merkmale und den gleichen Bedienkomfort wie der SL-1210MK7, der sich seit Verkaufsstart im Januar 2019 zum Liebling der Vinyl-DJ-Community weltweit entwickelt hat.

„In den letzten Jahren wurde von DJs, internationalen Musikveranstaltern und unseren Vertriebspartnern vermehrt der Wunsch an uns herangetragen, das Technics Plattenspieler-Line-up zu erweitern und weiterzuentwickeln. Auch eine Silberversion des DJ-Plattenspielers, der für so viele Anwender auf der ganzen Welt die erste Wahl ist, stand auf der Wunschliste ganz oben“, sagt Frank Balzuweit, Produkt-Manager von Technics Europa. „Diesem Wunsch sind wir gerne nachgekommen und bieten mit dem SL-1200MK7 jetzt allen Interessenten ihr geliebtes Arbeitsgerät in der Optik ihrer Wahl an“, so Balzuweit.

- Eisenkernloser Direktantriebsmotor mit leistungsstarkem Drehmoment und einer stabilen Rotation
- Präziser und robuster Tonarm, der die Musikinformationen der Schallplatte präzise wiedergibt
- Zweilagiges Chassis mit verbesserter Schwingungsdämpfung

Modern Life Is War - Tribulation Worksongs LP

Kicking off 2024, Modern Life Is War introduces the Tribulation Worksongs sessions as a single 12"EP/Digital album. This release consolidates all three 7"EPs along with "End Times Dub," a dub version of "Feels Like End Times," creatively reimagined by Urian Hackney (Rough Francis, Iggy Pop, The Armed, etc). The packaging for this release features a collaborative visual effort from Jeffrey Eaton, Thomas Hooper, and J. Bannon. Tribulation Worksongs was recorded by Luke Tweedy at Flat Black Studios, mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Originally released as a series of three 7"EPs between 2018 and 2021, the lyrics and credits for each song were typed by vocalist/lyricist Jeff Eaton on his 1950s Royal "Quiet De Luxe" typewriter during the initial presentation. These typewritten elements were later hand-stamped on the front and back covers of the EP by artist J. Bannon, resulting in each cover being entirely unique. Additionally, the labels on the vinyl were hand-stamped before final assembly by the team at Deathwish, which will see physical release on March 22nd.
