Hi Scores is beyond excited to present SSR Records: In Retrospect. This 2LP compilation album presented in a beautiful gatefold sleeve and through all digital platforms, wishes to highlight the immense and hard to grasp legacy of the Brussels based label. SSR Records was founded in 1988 by Marc Hollander as a sub label of his Crammed Discs and spanned the nascent years of house, acid, rave, trance, new beat, hip-hop, future jazz and broken beat, collaborating internationally and racking up close to 200 releases until it was put to sleep in 2002. Far ahead of their time, SSR Records released music of both European and North American artists that hadn’t broken through yet, such as those collected on this compilation: Move D, Nu Era, Gemini, Bjørn Torske, Glenn Underground or Matthew Herbert.

SSR Records was run by Crammed Discs chief Marc Hollander and Minimal Compact singer Samy Birnbach aka DJ Morpheus. SSR Records: In Retrospect comes with extended liner notes, exploring the pivotal milestones in the history of the adventurous label and zooming in on the origins of all records featured on the compilation.

All nine tracks on SSR Records: In Retrospect were selected by Hi Scores’s head honcho Kong DJ and have been remastered. Created between 1990 and 1996 and in the at the time pioneering spheres of house, breakbeat, electro and trance music, these treasures from the vast SSR catalog today stand as a stunning testimony to a truly remarkable and timeless musical legacy. Kong DJ: ‘While collaborating with Crammed Discs on the releases of Aksak Maboul in 2016 and Zazou / Bikaye in 2018 on Ensemble, I began to grasp the impressive catalog of the label and its sub labels, including SSR. Surprised by the tiny footprint SSR had left on the world wide web - often the case for labels ceased before the internet revolution - I wrote an article for British website The Vinyl Factory.

This would later prove to be the first step towards this compilation album, collecting favorites from the label as a kid in a giant candy store.’

Gladio Operations presents its eighth release titled “Blue Binary Code”, an EP that returns to the various artists format and is accompanied by relevant names from the electro scene.

The first artist to get us underway is an old acquaintance of ours, Boris Divider. The Spanish artist gifts us “Gods Of Olympus” a fast-paced cut with aggressive bass lines that inevitably takes us back to Boris’ beginnings; a wise choice!

The producer Igors Vorobjovs is one of the new faces on the European circuit. On his first appearance for Gladio, the Latvian producer signs in with “NH3”, an excellent track that is deep, enveloping, and well moulded with fine and subtle acid touches.

Side B launches with Lectromagnetique, who returns to Gladio with “Space Coast”. As it could not be otherwise, we find ourselves before an energetic, powerful and overflowing cut of dark atmospheres, so characteristic of the Ukrainian artist in his productions.

The American producer Francois Dillinger is another of the new faces on Gladio in 2023. Directly from the motor city comes “Agitated Particles”, a cut where Francois brings us his most hypnotic vision of electro sound.

The EP concludes with the producer Chris Morgan, better known as CH415. With releases on renowned labels such as AC Records or Brokntoys, the Welsh producer leaves us with ”Spaze Modulations” which takes us to a more cosmic and relaxing level.

We are extremely happy and proud to present you Volume number 6 of our 16-year anniversary project which will be released in a limited 12' Vinyl edition and Digital format and will be split into 8 Volumes which includes a total of 44 exclusive tracks and 46 great artists, from the early days of Techno till now. We immensely thank to all the
artists involved in this project, for believe in Illegal Alien Records, for joining us in this celebration and contributing with their music to make this release even more special, it's a true honor to count with all of you, thank you for being part of our history.
Our sixth volume belongs to greats The Advent, Uncertain, Chontane, Cari Lekebusch, Orion, Fixon and Mari Mattham & Jessse.

When it came out in 1996, Anthony Teasdale’s ‘Deep In NW5’ was regarded as one of the key records of the UK deep house scene. Since then, it’s become an acknowledged classic on the MC Projects label.

Now it’s back – as part of a five-track EP of deep house and electro – that shows Teasdale’s knack for melody and dancefloor sophistication is as strong as ever.

The new edit of ‘Deep In NW5’ keeps every element of the original but shortens the running time a little, and adds punchier drums more suited to today’s clubs.

The second track, ‘Jan’s Hammer’, is influenced by the electro records Teasdale loved as a kid and the theme music of ’80s cop shows. Fans of Miami Vice – and ‘Crockett’s Theme’ in particular – will get the reference in the title.

Flip over for ‘In Deep We Trust’, which mixes gentle, Rhodes piano melodies with punchy four-to-the-floor beats. Imagine Mr Fingers working with Boards Of Canada, and you’ll get the idea.

The next tune, ‘Entwined Minds’, holds a special place for Teasdale. A tribute to Andrew Weatherall (who Tony remixed in 1997), it’s a slice of dancefloor electro-house with a gorgeous string breakdown. And when those 808 drums kick back in, it bangs!

Finally, ‘Resonant Pianos’: another deep-houser, this time made up of rumbling classical piano and haunting orchestration: the perfect way to finish off this most accomplished of EPs.

Teasdale says: “I’d always wanted to make an EP on which every tune is brilliant – and you change your mind on which one’s your favourite. I also like to give people value for money: the five different tunes here, all of which I’m proud of, represent that.”

For any vinyl lover, The Hypnotist doesn’t need an introduction. Originally released on Rising High, the label from the illustrious Caspar Pound, The Hypnotist, a collaboration between Caspar Pound and Pete Smith, returns on vinyl with a brand new remix by Belgian producer duo Danny Corten & Youri Parker backed with the very much sought-after original mix.

One sided vinyl of monstrous rave breaks giving a big nod to the old school.Big tune, not to be missed!

After many years working with Metalheadz Jubei steps out with his own label, Carbon Music. The first release is something very rare in today's climate, a 'dubplate' anthem, titled 'Show Me' written with good friend and collaborator dBridge. The A-side is paired with solo venture 'Barracuda', which bares all the hallmarks of a classic Jubei production. The label will follow Jubei's aesthetic as an artist, no-nonsense functional dancefloor music that appeals across sub-genres.

Veteran French producer, Maelstrom made his Cultivated Electronics debut in 2018 with 'ECZO EP'. Now more than two years later and following a new album on RAAR, he returns with another EP, this time for CE's vinyl-only subsidiary, Cultivated Electronics Ltd. Joan-Mael Peneau has been making music for over fifteen years, with a history of aliases and side projects, illegal raves thrown in warehouses, fields and basements, but he soon came into his own under his Maelstrom moniker, releasing music on the likes of RAAR (the label he co-founded with Louisahhh in 2015), Cultivated Electronics, Central Processing Unit, Mechatronica, Private Persons and Discos Atonicos. Though his name suggests chaos, Maelstrom's music delivers intention, focus and precision that are evident on his 'Expression Directe' EP, which features four new tracks of deep and expressive electro-funk.

Big reissue for the first release of VIL Records.

Originally released in 1993, 4 banging tracks from the past but still contemporary crossing genres between House, Progressive House and Trance.

First Release on a new Vinyl Only label from Grant Dell.

Exceptional collection of Eddie Richards classics and rarities. A retrospective series of UK Acid-House pioneer. Played by Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos and Craig Richards to name a few.

Mostly records, the onward recordings sub-label, presents Unum Festival by Franco Cinelli, which includes two remixes made by Bs As deep. One of these versions is with his pseudonym "System T", chosen to do some works inclined to tech house and more experimental sounds sometimes.

Unum festival is an event characterized by five simple elements of life; music, sand, pines, the sea and the mountains.

The golden beach of Rana e Hedhun is where the festival will host 50 international and local acts over the course of 5 days and 4 nights.
Franco Cinelli is summoned every year to bring his music from Latin America to Albania.

Franco had a good idea in his head to print on a vinyl one of the tracks that had been Anthem in one of those events, which is also used as the official track and curtain of one of the promotional videos of Unum festival.

In "Mostly" both Bs As deep (owner) and Maxi iborquiza (owner) they had thought of ​​including Franco in their next release. They talked about it, and presented some ideas.
This is how this project was born, proposed by Franco himself to Mostly Records.

Diego (Bs As deep)
"We thought it was a very good idea, we keep in mind the exposure of the event and that Franco is also our friend, and we know what he can offer. Franco is an icon in our country, not only as an artist, but also as an excellent person. In addition, we had already worked together on Onward Rec.

With maxi we are low profiles in the scene, we like to work and contribute our music and our imprint without being behind any fashion conditioning, that is why we opted for two completely different versions for this vinyl; influenced by the sound that we like the most, house, with very musical and instrumental overtones, and on the other hand a more intense and effective sound for the DANCE FLOOR." with several American influences.

The main track is the one that occupies the entire A side, is the original, composed by Franco Cinelli, said track is like a loop that introduces us to the rhythm and with a very attractive arrangement of vocals, what is interesting is the constancy of the track, Franco manages to keep the public's attention with productions that have a particular attraction in his beats, which maintain the groove all the time and as the track unravels, it changes little by little, to return again to that hypnotic loop that very few can achieve.

The cover art is based on the photographic images of the same event, captured by a great professional such as Bruce Wuthrich, to whom we thank and give all the credits.

There will be a limited edition of several copies for Argentina, which will contain inserts with information and photos.
We like to do that as part of an added value; In addition, the followers of the label like it and value it.

For this special release he provides 8 cuts of advanced techno, from mental and hypnotic to broken and industrial or simply arpeggiated and beatless.

WHEN THE UNCANNY ARISES starts with No Gender Role an elastic mental exercise with metallic and processed components flying over a solid kick and white noise percussive elements add some hypnotic pads and you have a powerful mind and body tool.

Blue follows in a similar approach, clean drum programming, bleepy synth lines and a progressive arrangement constantly evolving and changing Flipping the vinyl, it’s time for the broken rhythms of Feel and understand combining distorted kicks with gummy sequences again administered in a quite wise structure.

Klonger closes the B side with obsessive metallic hits repeating until madness, a powerful industrial beat for the experienced dj’s out there.

The second vinyl slice begins with Negative One, returning to the martial beat combining a precise drum workout with floaty and liquid components, followed by Anonimo coercitivo exploring the deepest side of techno using textures and drones to spice the relentless beat.

Zero opens the C side, providing a solid distorted groove with metallic details and sci fi interstellar bell like sequences, proper futuristic vibes here.

Saying goodbye, the beatless Nothing To fear, an arpeggiated synth solo reminiscent of the old Berlin School of electronics from the seventies.

A touchable proof of his craftsmanship in the studio by one of the key figures in the European techno scene.

Limited edition tapes (50), individually numbered. Clear red cassettes. Mastered by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering. Artwork by Portuguese artist João Alves.

'23 repress of ‘YES.DJ’ by Simo Cell – his first solo record since 2018 – released on his own label TEMƎT. A celebration of dance music culture, each of these heavy-duty, titanium-plated bangers are a tribute to different styles of beats.

Bringing back the old school rap & hip hop flava, from coast 2 coast

We all have that experience: the party sucks, the DJ is clueless and you just want to have a good time. Thankfully the 7 Days ensemble is on full display here with their latest EP “Venom”. 4 monster tracks from Generation Next, Butterbandz, Big Strick, Ron Cook and a feature from none other than OB Ignitt. This one will glue your feet to the dance floor.

The record begins with Gnext giving us “Hot Girls, Cold Beer”. For some that’s all it takes to have a great night. The collision of sounds on Hot Girls has a sobering, late-night feel. Synth chords accompanied by hefty drum programing and daunting piano melodies

. Butterbandz lends the EP a smooth sort of relaxed house tune. He brings sublime drum programming, far reaching synths and a major bass groove. Ob Ignitt accompanies bandz with a tremendous piano solo showcasing his many talents on the keyboard.

“Jamblaya cracks my head, the drive and tension from the bassline in combination with the melodies: f**k me! WHY DOES GROOVE HURT SO MUCH?!!” – DJ Longsleeve / We Play House Recordings. A quote with many truths about the track from Big Strick. From start to finish it is guaranteed to keep you moving and grooving.

Lastly Reckless Ron Cook graces our ears once again with another techno theme. His eccentric synth rhythms are escorted by a brooding bass line. A new era and new sound are on the horizon for the techno veteran.

Bassbins at the ready - BeeDeeBeeBee returns to the fold once again, with two more murky cuts designed for the grottiest of dance floors.

The A-Side: Flipsyde, delivers a 606-fueled electro workout in the vein of their first outing, whilst the AA side: Ulrikaka, features a rolling tech house-y cut that’s been in the hands of those lucky few for sometime now.

25 years on from their debut, Groove Armada have become one of the most influential and successful dance acts of the 21st century, a position they have maintained, proving to be an influential force in the UK and globally. Over two decades of prolific productions and tireless touring they’ve proved that it’s possible to daringly explore a multitude of sounds while achieving critical and commercial success.

From huge outdoor performances to intimate parties, travelling the world, delivering their diverse dance floor-focused sound to raucous crowds on every continent, the duo have done it all. Despite their extensive list of achievements, there’s still plenty of motivation to have another huge party and go the extra mile to make GA25 one to remember, for fans new and old.

After making his debut on Mote-Evolver via label boss Luke Slater's 'Rip The Cut' remix package, SCI+TEC founder Dubfire now teams up with the fellow techno lynchpin for 'The Dissent' EP. Rolling and dubby, this collaborative three-tracker follows upSlater and Ø Phase's recent RoogUnit release on the label and continues with boundless layers of interwoven, mind-warping techno sounds key to an imprint housing scene legends such as Rene Wise, Steve Rachmad, The Lady Machine and many more.

"Softened but no less remorseful, nostalgic but ready to claim a new future, the JSM trio's long-awaited full length is one of the most indulgent sunny house albums of the year. We had fun to make it".
Scruscru, Jehan, Meowsn

Weighing in heavy with murderous intent across three guaranteed dance levellers, Trends & Boylan land on Sneaker Social Club with a bang. The pair have been slugging out grime-leaning gear for the past five years, causing a ruckus with their truly evil ‘Norman Bates’ beat, releasing also on Trends own Mean Streets label and linking up with Slimzee’s foundational stable Slimzos for some dubplate action.

They bring that street-level swagger to the tracks on the Ninety Nine EP, but here their punchy 8-bar flex is embellished to blend in with the Sneaker surroundings a treat. ‘Carnage’ tips towards chopped up Think Breaks while ‘Nocturnal’ doubles down on the dirtiest of b-lines. Confirming their allyship from dubplates' gone by, Slimzee links up with Trends & Boylan for the double A side slammer, ‘Ninety Nine’, weaving dread-side D&B stabs around a tightly-wound beat with devastating results.

There’s not an ounce of excess on these cuts precision tooled to smashup the dance good and proper. Need we say more?

TELUM 008 has landed, Fully loaded once again with dance floor weapons for all hours of the party

Worldwide support from Raresh, Priku, Barac, Praslea, Mihai Pol, Dan Andrei, Dewalta, SIT, Herodot, Nu Zau and more.

Don't sleep on this one, Limited press.

blue marbled vinyl

A thundering take on the classic Hot Pants break leads to eerie synth work, developing a powerful haunting atmosphere. An intense driving bassline intertwines with the beats & hats, challenging the balance between the headphones and the dancefloor.

A deceptively simple break expertly programmed with ASC's trademark punch is layered with dreamy 808 bass and long, swirling pads & synths, creating a luscious smooth vibe to the aptly titled Cosmic Energy.

Expertly programmed yet understated break work punctuates Stargate with an unforgettable kick-cymbal-kick-cymbal sequence, laden with room-filling sub-bass, a collage of effects and "that" whale sample used so effectively it feels fresh again in 2022.

Prophecy effortlessly combines a plethora of samples and effects you'll recognise from classic atmospheric drum & bass spanning the 90's and beyond to create a true "old school brand new" vibe set to a variety pack of jungly breaks and occasional vocal hits, with a lush tonal transition towards the latter stages.

Pink Vinyl

A1 - Parallel Universe

Kicking off the EP in style, Parallel Universe lays down classic amens straight out of the late 90's - a slickly crafted pattern looping around the muted palette of subtle funk melodies and luscious ambience. This is Aural Imbalance flexing his amen editing talents as well as those inimitable, enchanting chill-out vibes he constructs so well.

A2 - Warming Sine

A crisp DJ-friendly breakbeat introduces Warming Sine, welcoming a mellow collage of 808 bass and textured backdrops before hi-hats usher along the pace. The breakdown teases washes of aural meditation before we are lifted gracefully up by the beats once more, drifting through the skies as twilight sets in.

AA1 - Syren of Hyperion

Analogue kickdrums freckle the landscape of Syren of Hyperion, a blissful roller which envelops the listener with layer upon layer of playful synths and keys. A slight hint of menace lingers tonally, contrasting the soothing auricular scenery, showcasing the variety in Aural Imbalance's musical skillset.

AA2 - Genesis

Closing the EP we have Genesis, a beautiful sugary rush of wisping atmospheric delights, building an effective, catchy beat pattern throughout with exquisite balance. The composition exudes a smooth, tranquil energy as the use of gentle FX channel the unfurling emergence of dawn in a forest bustling with fauna. A wonderful piece.

Written, produced, and engineered by Simon Huxtable.

Banshee is the new record label from internationally renowned DJ/producer Brianna Price (B.Traits/Baby T). Drawing “esoteric aggressive feminine energy” from the folkloric figure that gives Banshee its name, the imprint will focus on the output of Price’s Baby T alias.

Brianna knows her way around a dance. Years spent producing, DJing, and touring under the B.Traits alias have given Price a vast knowledge of rave culture. Now, all of that experience has been put to good use as part of Baby T’s “hardcore junglist shit only” approach. Anyone who has encountered a Baby T tune in a dark basement over the years should know that there will be no messing around with Banshee’s output. Baby T specialises in hardcore rave tackle schooled by junglism, electro and darkside techno, the project’s sound was honed via releases on labels like Samurai Music and Central Processing Unit. It’s a style at once wild yet focused, untamed yet laser-precise - This is music that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up – not unlike a banshee’s shriek, in fact…

The first Banshee release is not a collection for the faint of heart. Each of these four cuts is primed for deployment at the point of the party when things really kick into overdrive. Fiercely danceable, and unapologetically abrasive, Baby T’s productions here can school any challenger in the electro, techno, and jungle fields yet also carry themselves with a punkish spirit that sets them apart from the pack.

Edanticonf with their first album since the “Forest Echo” that was released back in 2012 on Silent Season. The Story Of Q is a fantastic album and a great follow up, another timeless journey in fine style. Highly recommended!

Luciano has arranged a special series of four releases as part of the celebrations for the fifteen years anniversary of his own Cadenza Records, launching the first one to begin the festivities. Each episode is coming out in a different season of the year; the first one, with the catalogue number 118, is the chapter dedicated to the summertime and contains 5 enchanting tracks with an exquisite sound. Thisseries is just one of the astonishing surprises that Luciano has set aside for the birthday of his beloved label.
The show begins with "The Amazing Lilou", a crispy ariose tune with elaborated percussions and calypso-flavored synthesizers. "Hiding Hearts" is a latin prelude with pleasant guitars and restful melodies, flowing with joy and peace. "Nabusima" is another Caraibic spell, with noteworthy carefullymixed drums and elevating harmonies. "Magik Mechanics" explores complex broken beats andelectronic textures, drawing a colored narration in between a fairy tale and a sci-fi movie. Finally,"Tirana del Oriente", as disclosed by the title, is a trip into the Oriental ardent magic. A collection offive long summery compositions to accompany our hot pleasing days from the dawn till the dusk,holding our hands during a never ending daydream.

The second release of Atmophile Electronics is a 4 track EP of the label co-founder Naty Seres in collaboration with Bensen, and established techno producer Matrixxman on remixing duty.
All tracks are the result of casual jam sessions in Naty´s homestudio over the last year. Bensen, with his profund musical knowledge, gives the drum and groove structure, while Naty explores sound design and atmosphere with her modular-system in a playful, yet distinct way.

Nicola Dal Sacco treats us to an acid-soaked quartet for his debut solo EP on Aquaregia, a tantalizing follow-up to the Italian producer's contribution to the Acid Analects VA series.

Setting the tone, the title track, "Wirrwarr", revs up with driving drums and swirling pads - a sunrise escapade along a mountain pass. As daybreak approaches, the breakdown hits, introducing warm beaming pads. On the second leg, the journey continues with "Gelato", a spellbinder that melds serpentine acid lines with a vintage flair, navigating hairpins and snaking through narrow hillside corridors; vertigo ensues.

"Parapiglia" continues the trip with an eerie and enchanting lowlight drive. Melancholic acid whines while lush ethereal pads swaddle; a haunting mist rolling over the road. A deep closer, "Linea" guides us down the final stretch through the foothills with a viscous groove and chilled out atmosphere; the final knock back down into first gear.

Maru welcomes Prajescu for its fourth instalment, fully loaded once again with three solid originals tracks, complemented with a exquisite reshape of “Exilence” from Zenk. Early support from Mirolaja, Costin RP, Userunknwn, Hilu, Vlad Arapasu, Cirkel Square, Arapu, Octave, Barac & vlf.
