Hey! Mein Name ist Terry Cole, und ich habe das Privileg, ein wunderbares unabhängiges Plattenlabel namens Colemine Records in Loveland, Ohio, zu betreiben. Wir machen das schon seit fast 20 Jahren, und wir haben das Glück, unser Label direkt über unserem ebenso wunderbaren Plattenladen namens Plaid Room Records zu betreiben. Im März 2020, als die Realität einer globalen Pandemie einsetzte, waren wir uns nicht sicher, wie es mit unserem Veröffentlichungsplan weitergehen sollte. Alles kam quasi sofort zum Stillstand. Aber nach ein paar Wochen des Brainstormings beschlossen wir, dass wir - obwohl unser Plan für physische Veröffentlichungen völlig auf den Kopf gestellt worden war - jeden Donnerstag abends eine neue digitale Single veröffentlichen würden, bis wir den normalen Betrieb wieder aufnehmen konnten. Wir nannten die Kampagne ,Brighter Days Ahead", denn bei Colemine versuchen wir, immer das Positive zu sehen, wann immer es geht. Also haben wir den größten Teil des Jahres 2020 lang jeden Donnerstag digitale Singles veröffentlicht; dazu gab es virtuelle Listening-Partys und DJ-Sets auf YouTube. Das hat ziemlich viel Spaß gemacht. All diese Songs gipfelten in einem 2-LP-Set, das wir schließlich 2021 in physischer Form veröffentlicht haben. Und obwohl wir hoffen, dass so etwas wie eine globale Pandemie nie wieder passiert, musste ich zugeben, dass ich einen Weg finden wollte, die ,Brighter Days Ahead"-Kampagne zu einer Art dauerhaftem Projekt für uns zu machen. Während ich das hier schreibe, ist es das Jahr 2026 - offensichtlich habe ich also ein paar Jahre gebraucht, um diese Idee zu entwickeln, aber wir sind endlich am Ziel angekommen und das fühlt sich verdammt gut an. Die Idee ist ziemlich einfach: Der erste Band von ,Brighter Days Ahead" verfolgte einen rückblickenden Ansatz _ eine Zusammenstellung dessen, was wir bereits veröffentlicht hatten _ und dieses Mal verfolgen wir einen vorausschauenden Ansatz. Was du in deinen Händen hältst, ist ein Vorgeschmack auf das, was noch kommen wird. Diese Platte ist eine Kristallkugel, die tief in die musikalische Zukunft des Jahres 2027 blickt und dir einen kleinen Vorgeschmack darauf gibt, worauf du dich aus dem Colemine-Universum freuen kannst. Und wisst ihr was? Dieses Stück Plastik, das ihr in euren Händen haltet, ist die einzige Möglichkeit, es zu hören. Diese Songs sind noch nicht digital erhältlich. Einige davon sind Rohmischungen. Manche sind so brandneu, dass die Songtitel noch nicht einmal endgültig feststehen. Also reißt die Schutzfolie ab und schnallt euch an - ihr seid dabei, eine Zeitreise in die Zukunft zu unternehmen, ganz ohne Fluxkompensator. - TERRY COLE (Inhaber / Betreiber Colemine Records)

Die Hamburger Band OPHIS kehrt fünf Jahre nach ihrem grandiosen Album ,Spew Forth Odium" mit ihrem sechsten Studioalbum zurück. Die neue Platte wurde im Frühjahr 2026 im 3RD A. Studio in Holm aufgenommen und von Jens Ballaschke produziert, gemischt und gemastert. Das Cover-Artwork stammt von Schlagzeuger Ole Fink selbst. Man liest oft Aussagen wie: ,Mit diesem Album haben sie alles übertroffen, was sie bisher gemacht haben." Und meistens steckt nicht viel Wahres dahinter. ABER mit ihrem neuen Album ,Encased In Deathlike Layers" hat es diese vierköpfige Doom-Institution tatsächlich geschafft, die Messlatte noch höher zu legen. Sechs neue Songs mit einer Spielzeit von fast einer Stunde, die musikalisch das ganze Elend, Leid und die Hilflosigkeit, aber auch die Kraft und Stärke dieser Welt auf absolut perfekte Weise einfangen. ,Encased In Deathlike Layers" ist eine musikalische Reise in die Abgründe in jedem einzelnen von uns, ein Doom-Metal-Meisterwerk und eines der größten Highlights des Herbstes 2026.

Terramar is the confluence of Causa Sui and SoCal guitar genius Isaiah Mitchell. Recorded during a week-long immersion in the El Paraiso studio in Odense, Denmark, the group manifests deep currents of psychedelia and kosmische, riding them into a heavy, uncharted swell of sonic exploration.


On the group's self-titled debut album, Isaiah Mitchell – best known for expansive, high-powered guitar solos in Earthless – brings previously unrecognized sides of his musical personality to the surface. And what better assemblage for this endeavor than the El Paraiso Records crew – known for their genre-defying deep dives that explore krautrock, spiritual jazz and even electronic minimalism? The result is exactly what one could have hoped for in a trans-atlantic session like this: a collaboration where each party reveals new angles in the other's musicianship. A joint venture that manages to bring something new to light by paying homage to traditions of the past: Californian psychedelia, German kosmische and Scandinavian commune rock.


The group flies high on tracks such as ”Swell” and the scorching ”Melted Mountain”, but pushes into deeper experimental territory on ”Ritual De Fantasmas”, ”Caterpillar” and ”Borrego”, weaving synthesizers and studio manipulation into the fabric of their sound. Terramar is a true psychedelic delight.

Blisterknistern is foil and crackle: dry, brittle, a little clinical. Five hardware jams that stumble rather than swing, stoic where you’d expect groove. A house that remembers the clicks ’n’ cuts era.

The Blue Aeroplanes have been delivering their distinctive brand of rackety sprechgesang for four decades now, and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Their new studio album, ‘Tales From The Silver Lounge’ is based on overheard conversations between the clientele of The Silver Lounge, a rather louche café/bar in an unnamed city on an unknown planet much like ours, and in an unknown time, though the decor tends to the late 50’s, early 60’s.
The identities of the members of the Silver Lounge are, of course, confidential.


This is the 14th Blue Aeroplanes studio album and the third with the current line-up, which is:
Gerard Langley: vocals
Bec Jevons: guitar, vocal and backing vocals
Mike Youé: guitar, vocal and backing vocals
Rita Lynch: guitar, vocal and backing vocals
Chris Sharp: bass and backing vocals
John Langley: drums and percussion
Ed Taylor: many different instruments and backing vocals
Wojtek Dmochowski: dance
Alexander Dmochowski guests on saxophone and clarinet, Will Diamond on violin and Steve Bush adds backing vocals.



After two best-of compilation albums were released by Chrysalis Records in 2025 (‘Magical Realism’: The Best Of The Blue Aeroplanes’ and ‘Outsider Art’: The Other Best Of The Blue Aeroplanes’), the band are now back firmly in a sort of present with a new album that features all the guitar-band flavours that anyone could need, with poems that cover name-doppelgangers, falconry terms, Don Marquis, postcards, Greek mythology, abandoned Teslas, the First World War and the surreal nature of music-hall jokes.

Teeing up the next dynamite release on Brighton-based label Murmurations is prolific UK producer Michael James. Spread across four cuts, the fifth vinyl release from the label - MURM005 - continues to focus on essential, stripped-back, driving dancefloor energy with a nostalgic edge. The Moving Music founder delivers exactly that throughout his four excursions here, laced with infectiously swung grooves from top to bottom, synonymous with his sound. “Ultra Realism” kicks off the record with heady peak-time action, its enormous elastic bassline winding itself around intricately arranged, skippy drums, rarely letting up as the track evolves.

Dubby, golden-era tech house sounds arrive on the A2, titled “More Of That”, a fitting name for this after-hours future anthem. As we land on the B-side, we’re greeted by “Lazy River Express”, another slick encounter with a distinctly charming attitude to it. Hard not to move to this one. Rounding off the EP is another example of punchy, rolling action, begging to be played loud. “Stargazer” leaves us with a crisp yet dreamy finish, rounding off the EP with another standout cut for the record bag. In its early days, Leo Christopher has managed to build a sought-after catalogue with the Murmurations imprint, and long may that continue. The curation is always one step ahead, and the label has very quickly become a buy on sight imprint for devoted diggers. An exciting combination here as a growing label joins forces with a staple name on the UK circuit.

Auto-Mirage is the result of an artistic exploration built around the idea of escape.

Many different settings could be associated with this album, without ever having to choose just one. It can feel like a carefree van trip with no particular destination, the start of a relaxed summer evening with friends or even a sleepless night filled with introspection.

Its alternative identity flows between indie and surf pop, with touches of jazz and soul influences. The arrangements are meticulously crafted, adding depth to the compositions as well as authenticity to the voice.

Auto-Mirage brings together recognized talents such as Olefonken (Hubbabubbaklubb) for the mixing part, Brian “Big Bass” Gardner for the mastering, the captivating voice of Swiss singer Sreya and the striking flights of UK harpist Rachel Kitchlew. This album blends visions and influences to create a project that can accompany anyone, in any situation, as long as it brings that sense of escape.

*Limited edition (500) reissue of The Orchids second album – originally released on Sarah Records in 1991- remastered with the 7” and E.P tracks from the time. Translucent pink*
“The Orchids have a lightness of touch, an autumnal and mellow fruitfulness, a clear-eyed pop nous. Imagine some nexus that takes in Felt, Orange Juice, The Beach Boys and The Go-Betweens”
-Stuart Maconie

“The Orchids can come on like esoteric angels high on Felt and Massive Attack”
– John Mulvey, NME

The early summer bloom of 1992 felt like it had been pollinated by a lot of sunshine-loving records from the year before, optimistic headrushes that embraced hedonistic bliss or at least a sweeter ride. There was still an element of bedroom wistfulness to singles like Higher Than The Sun, Nothing Can Stop Us and even Paris Angels’ Perfume but there was no denying the appeal that techno, rave and Bleep held, especially when it was microdosed. Bands were more willing to experiment with technology and producers, if not necessarily going for all whistles-blazing club bangers.

The Orchids, hailing from the suburbs of Glasgow were unlikely to ever emerge from their hood as contenders for a deal on Soma Records (which had begun in 1991 in that city) but they evidently wanted to stretch their boundaries beyond their introverted debut. Unholy Soul is somewhat breezier than Lyceum. It’s still laced with a Scottish melancholy but there’s more breathing space within the production. They’d hinted as much on their 12” ‘Penetration’ EP from 1991 and lovelorn songs such as Waiting For The Storm and Peaches are now spiked by absent-minded cherubs with an ear for the 3.a.m comedown.

As lead singer James Hackett says today: “Unholy Soul was the first time we had spent more than a couple of days in the studio, doing so after work. It was a thrilling period of creativity and we had most of the songs written but not enough. We didn’t worry about that too much though because with Ian Carmichael there was a new opportunity for studio generation. Also this was the first time we had heard Pauline (Hynds) singing with One Dove so we asked her to sing on some of the songs. We were obviously influenced by a lot of the music of the time but you can still hear it’s The Orchids at heart”.

The next year of course One Dove (with Carmichael programming) released their debut album - produced by Andrew Weatherall - on the Boy’s Own label. It felt like there was a lot of ideas being spun back and forth between artists and producers in the early 90s. If some of the records also sound very much of that time that’s no bad thing either. There was a lot of loved-up nostalgia for the 60s then so it’s no surprise that many of the records have a youthful exuberance coupled to a technological innocence, that’s the charm.

Sometimes the most interesting stories in 80s dance music are hidden on the B-sides.

This one begins in Munich with two men: Manfred Alois Segieth, better known as Fancy („Slice Me Nice” and „Flames Of Love”), in the production credits he frequently appeared as Tess; Alfons Weindorf, musician, composer and producer, member of Zara-Thustra and part of the Munich studio environment surrounding the Weindorf family and Weryton Studios. For his electronic dance productions he used the names Elvin and Elvine. In the second half of the 1980s, Tess and Weindorf became part of an extremely productive Munich circle that also involved names such as Linda Jo Rizzo, Grant Miller, Sabrina Lorenz or Charlie Glass. Together in various combinations, they created original productions, songs and remixes that today form an unmistakable chapter of German Euro Disco. ZYX Records regularly called on this production world for new mixes and additional material and this is where our story becomes particularly interesting.

In 1986 ZYX decided to release „Tribal Stomp (Cherokee Nation)” by Psychic Interface in Germany. Psychic Interface was actually an American project by Jim Callon. But turn the German 12-inch over and things suddenly become much more German. The B-side, „Dancin’ In The Night”, was credited to Psychic Interface as well, yet the music itself came from an entirely different world. Written and produced by Elvine and Tess it was essentially a Munich production. The synths, the bassline, the melodies, the arrangement and that unmistakable mid-80s German Euro Disco character all point directly towards the creative partnership that would become associated with The Hurricanes.Around the same period another piece of the puzzle appeared. ZYX decided to bring back Den Harrow’s 1983 debut single „To Meet Me”, taking advantage of the enormous popularity Den Harrow had achieved by 1986. The new German release featured the „Hurricane Hit Mix”. And on the other side was something completely different – „Tropical Nights”. An instrumental written and produced by Elvine and Tess and this time officially credited to The Hurricanes. There was a logical reason for that. Putting an original composition on the reverse of a licensed or remixed single meant that the creators were not only remixers or producers. Their own composition was now part of the record as well, generating its own publishing and mechanical rights. It was a clever piece of 1980s record business. Two years later, in 1988, The Hurricanes would return with the much better known „Only One Night”, one of the finest examples of the Elvine & Tess Euro Disco sound.

Now Vintage Pleasure Boutique goes back to that earlier chapter. We bring together „Tropical Nights” and „Dancin’ In The Night”, two productions born from the same Munich team, and give each of them a new DJ-friendly interpretation. The originals retain everything that makes them special: crisp electronic drums, driving sequencers, huge synth melodies and that wonderfully unmistakable German take on Italo Disco. The new remixes take the same DNA onto today’s dancefloor. Longer builds, stronger transitions, more room for mixing and a subtle touch of contemporary italowave production, without losing the melodies, atmosphere or character of the originals.

Two hidden pieces of Munich Euro Disco history, taken out of the B-side shadows and finally given the dancefloor space they deserve. Two originals. Two new remixes. One fascinating piece of The Hurricanes story.

Sommige avonden zijn legendarischer dan andere. En dan was er 11 april 2022. De wereld ontwaakte net uit de quarantaine. Om die overwinning tegen de virussen in stijl te vieren, speelde Raymond van het Groenewoud in zijn Amsterdam. In Paradiso nog wel, de zaal van zijn jongensdromen.

Vijf keer was het concert uitgesteld, maar die avond was het eindelijk prijs. En hoe. Drie uur lang bezong hij oude deernes en nieuwe liefdes. Zoals steeds met veel humor, af en toe een hartenkreet ertussen, een zeldzame opstoot van nostalgie zelfs, maar altijd met vuur in de vingers en het lijf. Hij is de zeventig voorbij, maar een tovenaar verleert zijn trucs niet.

De nacht van Paradiso kreeg een verrukkelijke beat door de band achter hem. Maar ook door het publiek voor hem: ze applaudisseerden steeds luider, dansten steeds wilder. 'Ik werd in een bad gedompeld van appreciatie en liefde', zei Raymond later, 'zoals ik dat nog nooit had meegemaakt. Het was als een droom van begin tot einde.'

Geen enkele nacht blijft duren, maar er is hoop: op 27 november ligt Live in Paradiso in de winkel. Voor wie die nacht opnieuw wil afspelen, op fijne momenten of wanneer dan ook.

Transversales Disques presents the first-ever LP reissue of Ennio Morricone’s iconic score to Le Casse (The Burglars), Henri Verneuil’s 1971 Franco-Italian heist classic starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Omar Sharif. Conducted by Morricone’s longtime collaborator Bruno Nicolai, this legendary soundtrack is a masterpiece of 70s European crime cinema, seamlessly blending high-action grooves, chic lounge jazz, lush Italian romanticism, and the delicate vocalizations of Edda Dell'Orso. Featuring one of the maestro’s most celebrated main themes, this ultimate edition also includes two rare 7-inch tracks recorded by Astrud Gilberto with Morricone and his orchestra.

Pianeti Sintetici ('synthetic planets' in Italian) is a new conceptual project by Davide Perrone (Primal Code) that draws inspiration from the factories of Magrathea, a planet in Douglas Adams' classic space opera The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where artificial planets are manufactured on commission.

'This concept has always fascinated me, and I chose the name to frame a hypothetical future of synthetic worlds, told with sound,' Davide says. 'I like to imagine the howls of creatures inhabiting solar systems outside our own. Rarefied atmospheres, alien sequences, and unfamiliar tonal scales. So, I see Pianeti Sintetici as an open-ended design research project where I can explore these inspirations.'

Esplora I ('explore') is the first record in a trilogy scheduled for release in 2023. It comes wrapped in a custom-cut embossed sleeve adorned with a captivating interpretation by Hypnus' visual artist Gabriella Holmstrom.

Early support from Brando Lupi, Iori, Takaaki Itoh, Unjin, Eric Cloutier, Forest on Stasys, Konduku, and Saphileaum.

Gluten People return with their third vinyl only release, continuing to refine their stripped back club sound. Four cuts built around hypnotic grooves, solid low end and subtle movement. Made for the dancefloor, for those who appreciate depth, groove and tracks that keep revealing new details over time.

2026 Repress

Few producers embody the soulful heart of House Music quite like Move D. Being a mentor of the label since day one, All That Jelly brings together two defining and desirable cuts from David Moufang’s recent history to one record.
'To The Disco ’77' 2013 original version for the A-side and the 2017 live rework finds its way to the B-side, both freshly remastered by the amazing and sought after Andreas Kauffelt. 'To The Disco ’77', opens with a clean, electro-styled beat that has a restrained power and a controlled tension that gradually blooms as the keys start to lift the mood into something lighter. When the iconic 'to the disco' vocal sample cuts through, it’s like a wink
from the past, threading disco’s golden exuberance through the disciplined swing of classic house. The track is a seamless blend of Funk, Disco, House and Electro with each element raw yet playful, woven into a groove that never stops urging you forward. It’s a masterclass in balance: sleek but deeply human, nostalgic but alive in the moment. It's like listening to the history of dance music in one special track.
'To The Disco ’77 (Move D Live Rework)' stretches the idea out into something even more fluid. The groove loosens, the funk rises to the surface and the extended runtime gives space for guitar and bass lines to share center stage, riffing around each other with organic warmth. The 'to the disco' mantra remains, grounding the track in its celebratory intent. It’s the kind of tune that closes a night perfectly and makes you not want to leave the dancefloor. Reissued together, these versions show Move D’s masterful ability to bridge eras and genres, reminding listeners that the dancefloor is as much about emotion as it is about motion.

*Glow In The Dark Coloured Vinyl*

Four years after its original release, Mochakk's breakout anthem 'Da Fonk' featuring Joni continues to define a generation of house music. Originally released via Nervous Records in 2022, the record has surpassed 60 million Spotify streams alone, becoming Mochakk's signature track and one of the most recognizable records in modern dance music.

Fronted by fellow Brazilian artist Joni's soulful vocals, "Da Fonk" bridges classic house and contemporary club energy. Its stripped-back bassline and timeless groove have made it a fixture on stages and dancefloors around the world, while also marking a turning point for Mochakk, who has since become one of electronic music's defining artists, widely praised for his vibrant live sets in which "Da Fonk" has remained a staple. To celebrate the track's continued success, Nervous Records releases the 'Da Fonk' Remix Pack today across all streaming platforms, alongside a limited edition three-vinyl release available during Mochakk's long-awaited New York City takeover from August 28, 29 and 30.

Spanning three parts, the remix pack brings together a wide range of artists, each offering a different take on one of house music's most enduring records of recent years.

The first vinyl features Mochakk’s Original Mix and OG Dub of “Da Fonk”, in addition to a new Bass Mix from Marco Carola, whose signature rolling grooves and understated approach bring fresh weight to the original without losing its unmistakable feel. The second vinyl moves across a broad spectrum of club sounds. Australian duo Confidence Man inject their playful, high-energy style into the track, while Berlin's DJ Gigola delivers a sleek, club-focused interpretation. Cinthie, known for her deep-rooted house sound and analogue production style, offers a warm and driving remix, with Brazil’s Bronka rounding out the record on a fresh, contemporary rework. The third vinyl shines a light on Brazil's electronic music scene with an all-Brazilian lineup. Solarce Brothers contribute a soulful reinterpretation that nods to the original's house roots, alongside remixes from DJ Fuzil, Classmatic, and Deekapz & kLap, each bringing their own perspective to one of Brazil's all-time most influential electronic releases on global stages.

After years of steadily building momentum within the deeper side of drum & bass, Monika now delivers his long-awaited debut album, How We Saw Forever, landing this August on Spearhead Records.

UK-born and now based in New Zealand, Monika has developed a sound that blends deep rolling grooves, soulful textures, delicate musicality and moments of genuine emotional weight. Across the album he moves effortlessly between late-night introspection, euphoric warmth and darker, more experimental territory, showcasing an artist fully confident in his own sonic identity.

Having already made a strong impression through previous releases on Spearhead and appearances across the label’s 20-year anniversary campaign, How We Saw Forever feels like a major step forward creatively. From the haunting beauty of “What Turns Your World” featuring Oktae, through to the nostalgic rave energy of “Mango Pop” and the weightier pressure of “Syndicate”, the album captures Monika’s ability to balance emotion, atmosphere and dancefloor impact without ever feeling formulaic.

At its core, How We Saw Forever is an album about atmosphere, memory and emotion, music designed equally for solitary headphone moments and packed dancefloors at sunrise. There’s a cinematic thread running throughout the project, but also a raw honesty that gives the album its real depth.

Speaking about the album, Monika says:
“This project became a reflection of so many different seasons of life over the last few years. Some tracks came from really emotional places, others were written purely from joy and escapism, but together they tell the story of where I’ve been creatively and personally. I wanted the album to feel immersive, something people could disappear into.”

Released via BCee’s Spearhead Records — a label long celebrated for championing soulful and emotionally rich drum & bass. How We Saw Forever marks another exciting chapter for both Monika and the wider Spearhead family.

Disco Collected celebrates the dance music which originally developed from R&B, soul, and funk from the late 60s and 70s and turned into a mighty subculture in discotheques, with Studio 54, Manhattan, New York as one of the most famous and extravagant discos all over the world. Disco used a steady four to the floor beat, string sections, horns which created a perfect setting for DJs who mixed their special 12 inches to an eager dance crowd.

Movies like Saturday Night Fever and Thank God It’s Friday contributed to disco’s mainstream popularity. Compiled on Disco Collected are some of the best, well-known and great disco hits by Rose Royce, Chic, Kool & The Gang, The Trammps, Thelma Houston, KC & The Sunshine Band and 16 more guaranteed floor fillers.

The 2LP Disco Collected is available as a limited edition on disco ball silver vinyl and includes an insert.

'Church & Raves' is a great title for an EP given the strange relationship between the two. You're unlikely to get many people in the UK who go to both, but at the same time the communion of a good dance is often likened to the joys of collective experience that people feel in their chosen place of worship. Jazz pianist, organist, composer and bandleader Jonny Liebeck brings together a background in both here: 'Dancefloor Motive' and 'In My Feels' run jungle's rhythmic urgency through a jazz sensibility and breakbeats are given real harmonic depth rather than just serving as a backbone. 'Underground Soul' and 'Modal House' lean closer to classic house but with those Latin jazz touches from his debut still lingering in the margins. A thoughtful, well-crafted EP for anyone who wants their music with real substance.

Dave Charlesworth is responsible for so many amazing rave classics, under loads of different names. This is another of his aliases and a huge classic originally released on his After Dark Recordings back in 1993.

Celebrating 30 years since ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ was released, this classic will be made available on limited edition pearl vinyl and features the remastered audio and bonus tracks released as part of the album’s 25th Anniversary in 2021.

Masterminded by the trio of Cuban bandleader Juan de Marcos González, American producer and guitarist Ry Cooder, and British producer and label owner Nick Gold, 'Buena Vista Social Club’ is both the name given to this extraordinary group of musicians and the album they recorded in just seven days in 1996 in Havana’s 1950s vintage EGREM studios. It was clear from the atmosphere of the recording sessions that something very special was taking place. However, no one could have predicted that Buena Vista Social Club would become a worldwide phenomenon – awarded a Grammy in 1997 and, at over 8 million copies, outselling any other record in the same genre.

The acclaim of the original album elevated the artists (including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Eliades Ochoa, Compay Segundo and Omara Portuondo) to superstar status, inspired an award-winning film by Wim Wenders, a Tony Award-Winning Broadway Musical and contributed to popularising Cuba’s rich musical heritage. Produced by Ry Cooder and Executive Produced by Nick Gold for World Circuit, the timeless quality of the music and the sheer verve of the veteran performers have ensured that this album will go down as one of the landmark recordings of the 20th century.

"ASSEMBLE MUSIC 15 YEARS - Part III : Founded in Lisbon in 2011, Assemble Music celebrates its 15th anniversary with a three-part vinyl compilation, bringing together fifteen artists who, in different ways, reflect the label's past, present and future. Released simultaneously in November 2026 and distributed worldwide by Clone Distribution, the three records are less a retrospective than a continuation of what Assemble has been building since the beginning: music with character, made by artists with their own language, away from trends and easy categorisation. Across fifteen years, Assemble has moved freely between house, techno, electro, dub and more experimental forms of electronic music. The catalogue has never been defined by one particular sound, but rather by a certain approach, personal, uncompromising and built to last. Part III brings together another five artists particularly close to Assemble's musical universe. Lowtec has spent decades developing one of the most distinctive languages in European house and techno, both through his own productions and his own label Workshop. His music shares something fundamental with Assemble, restraint, depth and an unwillingness to follow obvious paths and thats exactly what he delivers with "Dutch Angle" exploring the more ambient and abstract side of house. Welsh modular artist Steevio, co-founder of Freerotation, approaches electronic music through improvisation and live interaction with machines. His contribution to the compilation reflects the human, unpredictable side of electronic music that has always fascinated the label. Reedale Rise returns after becoming an important part of Assemble's recent chapter. Moving naturally between electro, techno and house, his music combines precision with an unmistakable melodic and emotional quality. With his track he explores a slightly darker path here, with deeper, more shadowy melodies revealing a different side of his distinctive sound. Lerosa's "Love Money" and Vera's "Take Me" are two very special tracks in our back catalogue, and we felt it was time to bring them back to life for our 15th anniversary. Vera was one of the first artists to collaborate with Assemble, with Lerosa joining not long after. Over the years, both have become an important part of the label's story, through releases, many shared showcases, and above all, a great friendship that has grown along the way."

Silhouette is a brand new label from Burnski, who is surely the hardest working man in the underground right now. His thirst for sounds that traverse the garage, tech, dub and minimal spectrum seems to be utterly insatiable. For the second release on his latest outlet, he enlists Budapest-based house-head Vitus. In return, he drops five tunes that will work the floor with muscular grooves but bring the fun with great samples. There's raw filth on 'Got Your Head Nod', choppy, jazzy loops on 'Mind State,' a more heads down minimal sound on 'Take Me (To The Floor)' and bubbly energy on the well swung closer 'House Is (Never) Boring'. A charming EP full of club utility.

Y-TRAXX'S "MYSTERY LAND" RETURNS ON VINYL WITH NEW REMIX BY ROY ROSENFELD:

The legendary trance anthem Mystery Land by Y-Traxx returns to the spotlight. First released in 1995, the track achieved iconic status after featuring prominently in the 2000 box-office No. 1 movie Kevin & Perry Go Large. The original track is now being reissued on vinyl. The release includes the Original Mix, the classic Sickboy Courtyard Mix, the Søluna Remix - winner of the Beatport Remix Contest - and a brand-new remix from Roy Rosenfeld. Available from 3 April via Serious Beats Classics.

With its hypnotic melodies, driving beats, and mysterious atmosphere, "Mystery Land" became a symbol of the 90s trance scene and grew into a cult classic. The track was picked up worldwide by influential DJs, including Paul Oakenfold, and featured prominently on his mix album Perfecto Fluoro (1996).

The new remix by Roy Rosenfeld brings a fresh, modern take to the iconic track, preserving the emotion of the original while adding a powerful peak-time, sunrise energy. Rosenfeld comments: "Remixing Mystery Land was an honor for me. I've loved this track for many years, so the process was very natural and fun. The vision came quickly, keeping the emotion of the original and pushing it into a peak-time, sunrise energy."

An explorer from Earth is pulled through a malformed black hole and crash-lands on a distant
water-covered planet. Her ship lies in ruins, its systems failing, lights flickering through smoke. Then it
begins to rain.

As water enters the machinery, the opposite of what might be expected occurs. The ship starts to recover.
Its interface reorganises itself into legible glyphs; damaged systems begin to hum back to life; the
surrounding terrain slowly assimilates with its structure. Everything is washed in pastel blues, greens and
purples, and a landscape that should feel entirely alien produces an inexplicable sensation of home.
This is the world NikNak imagines for Azul, an album built around water and our increasing desire to
become more integrated with technology. Yet the relationship she proposes is not one of technological
domination over nature. Here, nature repairs the machine. Water nourishes the human body and its
extensions alike, dissolving the perceived boundary between biological and technological systems. The
cyborg at the centre of Azul is fluid rather than metallic: copper capillaries, nanotechnology and water
circulating through the same body.

Part of this imagined world has a very real source. Much of Azul was developed during a residency at Casa Ilhabela in Brazil, where NikNak collected underwater recordings specifically for the project. These
recordings give the album's fiction a physical foundation: its imagined waters begin with real ones. Field
recordings become material for an environment that is simultaneously otherworldly and rooted in direct
experience.

It is a natural evolution for an artist whose practice has long resisted a single mode of listening. An
award-winning turntablist, composer and improviser, NikNak has built a language around manipulating
sound in real time and treating recorded material as something fluid rather than fixed. On Azul, that instinct expands into more immersive world-building: sound becomes environment, organism and narrative at once.

Following 2024's Ireti, Azul marks NikNak's arrival on Lapsus Records. Beneath its science-fiction
architecture lies a quieter and more personal transformation. Back on Earth, the explorer was afraid of
water. Here, she eventually kneels beside a small rock pool and drinks the rainwater collecting within it. For the first time in a long while, she feels completely at ease. What once inspired fear has become
nourishment; what should feel foreign feels like home.

The feeling doesn't last. The ship's distress beacon was activated when it lost course, and somewhere
beyond the atmosphere its signal has been received. The explorer looks towards the point where she first
tore through the sky and sees another vessel beginning to emerge. For now, she calls this place Azul.

Plans is the fifth studio album by indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie, originally released August 30, 2005 on Atlantic Records. The album spawned three singles: "Soul Meets Body," "Crooked Teeth," and "I Will Follow You into the Dark," with all three songs charting. "Soul Meets Body" and "Crooked Teeth" reached No. 5 and No. 10, respectively, on the U.S. Alternative Songs chart.

Although "I Will Follow You into the Dark" performed poorly in the charts compared to the previous singles, it eventually became Death Cab for Cutie's best-selling single to-date, and gained the band a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals the following year. Plans peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America on February 28, 2008. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album at the 48th Grammy Awards, held February 8, 2006.

"On Plans, the band's fifth album, Death Cab is ready for the large, diverse audience a major label can provide, and they make the transition seamlessly, in large part due to the underrated production of guitarist Chris Walla, who has a way of making even the weirder flourishes (and the band tries a few to mixed success here) feel totally natural." — Pitchfork

Repress! Back by popular demand–VSR 001 is designed to take you to the outer reaches of where you need to go. Wiersma has created a world where with your eyes closed and head down, the dance-floor can transport you to the outer reaches of space and back again for another beautiful night with all your favorite people.

Vermilion Sun Records was started as a passion project in 2025 with a belief in the magic of physical media juxtaposed against the incursion of AI. The original release featured just 100 copies and utilized US-only distribution; it was sold out in less than 5 months. After being brought across the pond from Boston to Brussels by local DJ & tastemaker Rasaaq, it was subsequently shared, quickly gaining popularity on Discogs. This repress is a testament to Vermilion Sun’s core belief; that is meant to be shared and enjoyed by everyone, and there is magic in that ritual.

Wiersma is a cherished member of the electronic music scene in Boston/Cambridge, MA. A DJ, partygoer, and prolific producer, he has played many of the city’s favorite nights sharing bills with other local talent and setting the stage for international acts like Bradley Zero, Garrett David, and Cinthie. Tapping all of these channels brings forth a creativity where memories from nights in Boston and other global travel transform his unique productions. His release VSR 001 showcases this style, exploring the darker and proggier sides of the house universe while making sure to stay tethered to a reality with firm roots on the dancefloor. A1 begins with Once Around Vega where a cinematic opening draws you into groovy and spacey loops demanding you to move. Syntactic Roles churns more deeply, incorporating layered dystopian vocals, rolling basslines and light acidity that is sure to help you close your eyes and put your head down for a dance. The B side keeps the space station grooving with Transmission from L3, and closes out with Rules of Teleportation incorporating more vocals over chugging electro infused grooves.

The highly acclaimed U.K post- punk band Joy Division was originally called Warsaw . Formed in Manchester, England in the late 1970s, the group consisted of Ian Curtis on vocals, Bernard Albrecht (aka Sumner, aka Dicken) on guitar, Peter Hook on bass and Stephen Morris on drums. Hook, Albrecht and Curtis hooked up at a local concert and later formed the group Warsaw. The band's name was taken from a David Bowie- Brian Eno composition, "Warszawa". The 5 bonus tracks on this album are demos cut by the group at Pennine Studios in Manchester on July 18, 1977 with Steve Brotherdale on drums. The first eleven tracks presented here were the result of a recording session for that album that took place in early May of 1978. Rehearsals leading up to the session resulted in two new songs being added to the group's existing repertoire: "Interzone" and "Transmission." "Interzone" was based on the backing track of the song "Keep On Keepin' On," to which the band added their own lyrics. The result was a song distinctively their own. "Transmission" was written by the band during the final week of rehearsals. The first verse contains a quotation from Alistair Crowley's The Book Of Thoth. The two recordings are interesting renditions of songs which would later became famous.

2026 Repress

From spearheading France’s jazz-house and electronica scenes, to amassing millions of streams for lauded tracks such as Ode To Love, Manhattan To Brooklyn and Artifice, Tour-Maubourg is a flag bearer…

In their countless years of deep digging, Dark Entries has uncovered many curiosities, oddball Italo and synth-wave creatures too rare to live, too funky to die. Dark Entries’s conservationist efforts began with 2020’s Endangered Species Vol 1. Six years later, we are finally treated Endangered Species Vol 2, an even more ambitious effort which features eleven specimens previously deemed extinct, now safely preserved on vinyl. Things kick off with an extended mix of Palazzo di Danza’s “Play That Song For Me,” a lavishly produced German-Italo number propelled by a slinky bassline. Russian Olga Vosconyan’s “Cars” delivers what might be the moodiest song ever produced for a car commercial.

Fuzz Dance maestro Alexander Robotnick appears with a previously unreleased male vocal demo version of “I Wanna Believe,” a legendary track that would later appear under the name Gina & the Flexix. Canadian industrial royalty Dwayne R. Goettel (Psyche) and cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy) team up on the horror-sampling hit-heavy blaster “Bastards.” Belgian EBM progenitors à;GRUMH... report for duty with a slab of machine funk on “The Army.” UK DIY stalwarts Khmer Rouge bring Krautrock-inflected minimalism with “Take Me (Across the Floor Tonight) In Dub.” Endangered Species Vol 2 comes housed in a sleeve designed by Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh, and includes a 16 page booklet featuring liner notes, lyrics, and photographs of each featured project. Please assist Dark Entries in their efforts to preserve the rarest of beasts (and beats).

Precision and intent. HYS007 navigates minimalism through discipline, dissonance, and bold force. A harmonic journey with a singular aesthetic direction.

In the seclusion of a house in the Bavarian Forest, something unfolded that felt less like a conventional album production and more like an internal process of condensation. This house wasn’t a studio - it was a retreat. Its 1960s-inspired interiors, creaking wooden stairs, and crackling fireplace shaped the sound of Carl Gari as much as the instruments themselves. Though the house no longer exists, its atmosphere remains present in the recordings.


The music of Carl Gari - Jonas Yamer, Till Funke, and Jonas Friedlich - resists easy categorization, a trait that continues on this monumental new album. From the friction between electronic music and guitar textures, the trio forges a distinctive, idiosyncratic sound. Distorted electric guitars and pulsating basslines intertwine with analog drum machines, tape delays, and intricate effect chains, creating music that is raw, organic, and psychedelic. A new element on the album is the trio’s first use of vocals: Jonas Yamer, usually on bass, raises his voice in a punk-tinged, invented language that hints rather than narrates, unsettling more than it explains.


The guest artists do not merely decorate the sound - they alter its very structure at critical points. Polygonia contributes layered vocals that mesh seamlessly with the album’s technoid architecture. Will Brooks of Dälek delivers a dark rap feature on ‘Poison Shyness (Anti-Social)’, his words carving the sonic space with precision. Coby Sey adds introspective vocals that hover between experimentation and restraint on ‘Inner Link’. New York rap pioneer Sensational introduces a deliberately rough, individual counterpoint on ‘Disco Lights’, while the German percussionist Simon Popp drives the album forward with an uncompromising drum performance that insists rather than accompanies on ‘Zeitesser’.


The cover photographs, taken by Jonas Yamer, project images of corridors onto paintings located in the now demolished house where the album was recorded. Visually, this reflects a key motif of the album: spaces exist only as overlays and echoes - not mystical ghosts, but traces of a place that has physically vanished.

Recorded between 2016-2024 in Neunburg vorm Wald and Munich. With kind support by Kulturreferat der Landeshauptstadt München.
Mixed by Johannes Wagner aka J.Manuel at Apollo Studio, Berlin (A1, D1 w/ Fadi Mohem). Mastered & cut by Stefan Betke at Scape Mastering.
