We Are Thrilled To Announce... Ok Let's Just Stop It Right There! I Won't Bore You With The Usual Press-info Talk But Just Run Some Key Facts By You: We're Celebrating Ten Years Break New Soil This Year And Are Releasing An Anniversary Compilation Containing Exclusive Tracks Only. We Believe The Line Up Of Part 1 Speaks For Itself: Paul Ritch, 2000 And One, Patrick Siech, Johannes Heil And A Track By Myself. I Want To Thank You For Your Support This Past Decade. Here's To The Next One! (gregor Tresher)

We can’t travel too much physically right now, but music will always transport us. Places, planets, parts of the mind no other stimulus can reach. It’s something andhim have made their signature, especially with their recent award winning road movie Miles To Go. The dust still not settled on their air miles, now the duo take us on another tour. South Korea and Japan. Savouring and documenting every moment, ‘Toy Toy’ is their musical translation of the trip.



A six track story of countless chapters, each cut weaving the spirit of the cities and their own influences deep into the mix. The title track takes the lead. A bubbling fantastical piece with strong shades of electro funk and acid house weaved deep in the blend, it sets off – like all tours should – on the happiest note possible.



Deeper into the release we strike downtown neon gold on the sweeping synths and foreboding bassline of ‘In Tokyo’ and the melancholy Blade Runner blues of ‘Japan 82’. Elsewhere ‘Brabazon’ takes a higher flight. Bewilderingly feel-good, sublime waves of thick, woozy synth funk reach euphoric heights in the dreamiest way possible before ‘Acidman’ brings us crashing back to reality with a jolt of cold hard electro sincerity. A crisp trip of a tune, the layers of musicality whip up momentum that ultimately leads us to the poignant, soft-focus finale of ‘Bronte Bye Bye’. The solemn, sober yin to the raging yang the tour once began with, we’re brought home in one piece… Even though we never left the room. Anzen'na ryokō!

Reissue

Established in 2020 by DUPLOC & 140 Plates owner Pieter Grauwels and producer Hebbe, Basskruit is a label set up with the sole focus of shining a light on Belgian & Dutch produced, explosive Dubstep & 140 music.

With previous incredible releases coming from the likes of 11th Hour, BunZer0 and Hebbe himself, the imprint is now set for their eagerly anticipated 17th outing.

It comes from Netherlands-based Crowley & Schim, two producers expertly carving their reputation into the underground ‘140’ scene with their stunning, bass-driven productions which have been released on labels such as DUPLOC, FKOF & Concrete Law.

Meticulously crafted and exploding with bassweight, BSSKRT017 is a four-track EP which boldly traverses the sonic plains of ‘140’, showcasing the variety in both artist’s sound, whether it be the stripped back & swinging Moraal, the reverberating & dubbed-out Skitta or the dark & breaks-laced Wervel, which provides inspiration for a deep & hypnotic remix from Belgian artist Zygos.

Inland’s seventh solo release on his home label is the latest in a decade-long legacy of enduring productions under the Inland alias. All tracks operate at 138 bpm, exploring biting synth lines, psychedelic overtones, tribal techno attitude, and mechanical rhythm programming.

Following their contributions to Unruh 01 and 02, Tachyon return with four tracks of their own for the Fried EP. After the funky breaks of ‘Fried’, things take a sharp left turn with ‘PCM Dub’ before we shoot into outer space with ‘Traffic’. The tweaked and blissed-out beats of ‘Late Chatter’ finish off the EP in style.

Russian Indie Dance / Nu Disco and House label Soviett return with the 4th vinyl release of their club-friendly series «Plastinka»! Ranging from 108 to 124 BPM this time, all four tracks are full-length DJ-versions exclusive to this vinyl and never been available before. «Patchouly Indonesiano» by Saint-Petersburg-based Pavel Korzhensky, aka Ksky, is a lively piece of modern analogue electro. Alexander Prosvetov, aka Marco Lazovic from Moscow, delivers an atmospheric tech-house track with a strong retro feeling of the 80s and 90s dance music scene; it emphasizes how deeply Lazovic explores the roots of electronica. Street Choice is a Russian duo of Artyom Vasiliev and Alexander Rodakov; the guys present a classic house production with a humming rhythm section and a memorable piano line on top. Buzz Compass is Andrey Bychenkov and his «Make A Baby» is a perfect laid back start to an evening pre-party with lots of live instruments and no rush. Plastinka 4 is a proper addition to your current vinyl DJ-set or personal listening pleasure!

From deep inside the inner workings of L3 Liverpool comes the latest instalment from the city’s very own, Aerofunk. An EP built through atmospheric melodies, break scattered percussion and the heavy sub-driven, relentlessly shifting basslines he is becoming renowned for.

The EP opens itself out into true break-funk fashion with ‘The Definition III’, setting off via back-and-forth percussive movements with hints of hypnotising, atmospheric keys, that pave the way for one of his signature hard hitting, scattered basslines.

Moving in an ever forward style, ‘Funky Breaky West’ cranks up the level for the A-Side. The repetitive bassline layered beneath a kick that skips itself in-and-out of various timings throughout the track, alongside staple, party worthy snare and hat crashes, guide the music on course before delightfully introducing an added touch of flavour with two competing basslines that work together perfectly, hand in hand.

To the flip, there’s no time for pause, as ‘Zezwa’, a track built upon a differed style to its predecessors yet sugar coated in the unmistakeable A-F style, noticeably designates itself in a groove to make its listeners relentlessly move. Throughout and just in ear shot, riding their way throughout that background, is the unmissable sound of scurrying hats and cow bell strikes that seem to make spontaneous decisions for their choice of inclusion.

The B-Side close out supplies an ending filled with a stripped back groove, plied by guided reverberating horn sounds that give off a sense of alarm aimed to draw a mind to the fullest attention. All the while, the music shifts itself on in true, groove driven funk fashion. The keys and atmospheric tones that work themselves in midway through the track are worthy of noting, as if to cultivate the way for that melody one could easily mistake to have been designed by the touch of a musical robotics lab.

With 44 releases across 12 years since its inception, Butane's infamous Alphahouse imprint closes its doors this June as he welcomes long time colleagues and friends Alexi Delano and Worldline to shape up the final EP on the label 'Omega'.

Having established the imprint back in 2005, Andrew Rasse aka Butane's Alphahouse has served as an example of unapologetic underground quality and curation for over a decade. With previous releases from the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Ryan Crosson, Ion Ludwig, Quenum, Mark Broom and of course Rasse himself, the final Alphahouse EP welcomes back another staple of the imprints success, Chilean Alexi Delano, and mysterious American talent Worldline who marks his debut on the label.

'Sometimes in order to grow, you have to leave things behind. It's time for a fresh start... the final Alphahouse record. Alpha/Omega' - Butane.

The A-side sees Delano and Rasse effortlessly re-combine and pick up where they left off in 2013. 'Bass Theory' is an energetic, blooming production that lays the focus on raw crunchy drum licks, chunky bass slabs and an ever- evolving melody that eases listeners into a state of trance, before 'Jazz Lick' reveals a lighter aesthetic with a delicate jazz-infused lead line, filtered vocal loops and crisp organic percussion that hold the production in sync.

On the flip Butane is joined by a new collaborator, Los Angeles-based underground fashion designer Worldline for two brooding cuts. 'How Deep' kicks things off showcasing eerie low ends layered beneath tripped out vocals and hypnotic, meandering chords. 'What We Do' wraps up the esteemed Alphahouse catalog in style. An underground manifesto with a trademark Butane groove and Wordline's vocals punctuating over a decade of work. That's a wrap.

In true Alphahouse style, Rasse signs off here alongside two extremely talented artists with an EP that radiates understated sophistication and intricacy throughout, whilst opening the door to his new project 'Extrasketch' in the most fitting and suitable way imaginable. Stay tuned; this is only just the beginning...

‘Chance Is Our Greatest Ally’ celebrates the launch of Faux Poly, a brand new label from Kassian

The label name pays tribute to a hardware-focused production style which they first experimented with on their “Faux Polynesia” EP on Phonica White. This stylistic turning point encouraged further exploration into this direction, discovering new processes to make genuinely unique dance music that focuses on the idea that the best sounds are not imagined and then created, they are discovered.

For it’s 4th release, Melodeum Records embarked on an epic quest in the search of a treasure which has remained hidden in the musical ether for many suns. After months of digging, a hidden gem emerged, a true diamond in the rough, a life form who only goes by the name of Roluce.
Roluce mastered the binding powers of enthralling House with the drawing influence of Minimal rhythms. Every frequency on the Rogustine EP was individually curated to forge this powerful composition. All 4 original tracks have the power to destroy dancefloors and cause mass euphoria - please play with the utmost care.

2024 Repress

Rotterdam based artist ''Ben Buitendijk'' has been around for quite a while now. With a string of releases of labels such as ''Ogun Records'', ''Eshu Records'' and appearances on the mighty ''Field Records'', the time has come for Ben to launch his own imprint. Inspired by the city of Rotterdam and his love for anything architectural, Oblique was founded. A label that is designed to cater to Ben's vision on the overall electronic landscape and to display his love for well thought out drum patterns with dense long-stretched builds and strained atmospheres.

''Venomous EP'' comes in a package of three extended techno cuts with a certain corresponding theme. As the title might suggest, all cuts have a certain
touch of hazardousness to them.

''Black Mamba'' is best explained as the experience of poison slowly creeping through one's veins and leaving an irreversible trail of destruction.

''King Cobra'' feels more boisterous than it's predecessor. Again, a long repetitive build keeps on changing into a slightly psychotic state of being while razor-sharp bits of synthesis tickle the listeners brain like when undergoing acupuncture.

''Stingray'' is the final cut of this first ''Oblique'' effort. Whilst maintaining the corresponding ''Venomous'' theme, the last endeavour is a thumping outcry of muscular drums, a ponderous bass shot, and haunting pad sounds that together create a dystopian character. As an extra, Ben has thrown in an ominous locked groove that should be useful in adventurous club settings.

Vinyl Only. Limited

One sure thing about featuring Dan Goul in a MixCult release is that his music will always be big on emotion. Next up, “Upon Descent EP” edifices those delicious sounds that those star floating dancers are pulled to. The classy and sensual beats keep always under construction, making the range of the tracks infinitely expandable over time. This release is a very versatile DJ tool, but certainly for those who like to keep it graceful.

Kid Drama and DJ Trace are back, continuing their collaboration streak on CNVX.
Sideways feels like it could have been plucked from a ‘98 catalogue of classics with its rumbling warm reese bass and electric stabs, a funk fuelled journey that reminds us to look back to move forward.

“Rage” is another throwback with classic Trace trademarks, breaks and bass fight over each other in this 2 step monster signalling to old warehouse raves and parties.

Available on limited vinyl and digital, this release shows how to write steppers with longevity.

Brand new label Four Framed Music kicks off with a fantastic four track EP from Manuold.

Emanuele Macagnone aka Manuold was born in Palermo in Italy and is a producer, remixer and DJ who has released on legendary labels like Kerri Chandler’s Madhouse Records, Esuoh Records, We_r house and Crystal Grooves.

He brings his many inspirations to the fore here right from the off. Life is Now pumps a slick 90s house vibe with swirling pads and a standout vocal. It’s full of warmth and soul and then Intense cuts up a more funky groove, with weighty kicks swinging down low and a killer bassline. The vocal really soars and brings a fiery vibe. On the flipside Metropolis then layers a classic vocal sample over glitchy drums and slick tech beats. It’s robust and designed to make a real impact in the club and last of all Palermo Centrale flies ahead on swirling cosmic pads, with wood block hits, raw textures and future facing vibes.

This is another fresh EP from the always essential Manuold.

Follow Da Groove is pleased to announce Rico Casazza for its second strike. Waves of warm sounds ranging from dub to electro. An EP that definitely has a sensuality and a charm with 4 tracks that tell a story.

A unique approach from this energetic label that's really working for us down here. Techno/dub lush soundscapes galore...tip for ravers!

Supervision records is very happy to present its first various that gathers big talents for a wide range of breaky beats and groovy sounds. Garage vibe at its finest.

Tracks are a natural Evolution on of what Visions Recordings is constantly developing, a sound that goes from jazz to deep techno mixing the new generation with the veterans producers.

The ep starts with a Broken house jam by ALEX ATTIAS featuring the magical keys of SOHAN WILSON, a mix between broken and house rhythms made with the MPC 2000xl and some lovely keyboards and Rhodes by the one an only Sohan Wilson taking you onto a jazzy journey . On the same side, LIFE RECORDER is back on VISIONS and delivers here a melodic deep techno house track for the late nights filled with soulful vibes and wonderful warm percussions .
On the B side, JUNE JAZZIN, known for his deep house releases, offers here a soulful deep house track with lead solo to make you dance and fly high into a killer journey into house music. The beat is groovy and the bass is dirty and this will for sure make people go mad on the dance floor . Last but not least, MARK E is serving a deep and moody slow disco deep house cut with a perfectly mastered sound that only Mark can provide. Subtle sounds and groovy rhythm with pads and atmospheric sounds.. Delicious

THE EVOLUTION – PHASE FOUR is an essential collection of grooves. Do not sleep it is a limited vinyl release!

Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange is a collective that bring together UK jazz funk vibes that have been made popular by Kamaal Williams, Shabaka Hutchings and Ezra Collective amongst others with the energy of Berlin's electronic DJ music. In fact, head of the collective Ziggy Zeitgeist is a big fan of DJ tools which equally have a big influence on his music. His aim is to create a mix of jazz and tribalistic, electronic energies to create jazz raves that reflect a fresh modern touch of what could be a sound for the next years. Of course many elements of their songs come from the 1970ies - the chord progressions, the fusion keyboard solos, the driving rhythms. But the general sound of the music and its straight electrifying energy create a new and unique futuristic sound.

Superb EP, Bringing some Acid mental Techno, Some heavy Hard techno and a pinch of Techno exploration, experimental beats...

A Beautifull 01

The debut release from MAJIKAL featuring 4 dark hypnotic house cuts from the legendary El-B

Mind Borders is a journey around the various states of consciousness , from the more aligned and lucid one to the most clouded and obscured until it is completely absent and out of focus.

Side A is made of two tracks by the duo Haokah; while in “Clearview” the mood is peaceful and happy, synths are playful and dreamy, accompanied by a solid bass line, in “Misted Mind” we find their typical twist, fast and yet meditative with hypnotic sounds and introspective voices.

Simone Adinolfi closes the EP with an extended track in the B side that incorporates the dark side of the latest times, where heavy and intricate percussions are blended together with mesmerizing and airy harmonies, taking you through different emotions, as an escape from reality to be finding peace.."Out Of Now".


Vinyl only, limited copies.

We are happy to present you our second reference LV002. It contains three new tracks from Oxygeno, alongside a remix from the Swedish atmospheric techno master Lakej.

The A-Side starts with "Bad Habits", a raw track with distorted bassline and an hypnotic synth sound moving around your head trying to call your attention. This is followed by "Endless Carousel", the high energy track of the EP.

On the B-Side, "Time Is Running Out" pretends to be a deep brain melter, taken to a new level by Lakej, who increased its tension and shaped the track direct to the dancefloor.

Following the success of his 2020 EP ‘South Of The River’ Amoss spent most of 2021 building a deep and dedicated Patreon community where he teaches production techniques to aspiring artists. The ‘Blue Whale’ EP will be his only EP of the year and it has been on a lock down of its own over the last 2 years. We had to wait until clubs were back open before we unleased this EP because this music is designed to be played on a big sound system. It comprises of four tracks that show a refined direction for the South London based producer.

Christian Hornbostel’s third LP Liber Tertius serves as a summation of Hornbostels recent musical tastes. His defining feature is an immense and overwhelming sound design. Texture dominates over structure and rhythm. While definitely not an ambient album, its easy enough to get lost in whats happening in or around the beats. It's something that anyone who loves electronic music, sound and sound manipulation, can fall in love with; no one's going to care about time signatures or genre conventions. It's an instance that astonishes, not from Hornbostel's deft production touch but by his restraint, his willingness to indulge in the most beautiful simplicities. As such, it's not representative, but stands as another surprise from a producer long since known for them. Whereas Hornbostel's previous albums may have had a tendency to come across as a collection of tracks presented as an album rather than a long playing concern that actually flows, Liber Tertius is the opposite. It's an album of impressive scope and intricate detail, and one that proves that this German producer, with three decades into his career, has plenty left to say.

Club Designs head honcho and infectious beat impresario Garneau is joined by Vanouver Slab party series producer Max Ulis for the “Big O EP”. Both extraordinary producers and DJs in their own right, these Canadian underground stalwarts never fail to impress.

Breaks, beats, booms, and bass – expect to hear these on the club circuit for a while, each track a brilliant combination of deep house roots with breakbeat tips.

After manufacturing delays these tracks have been kept under wraps for over a year, but we are so happy to finally release them for the world.

Vinyl only!

After a seven-year hiatus, the longtime Berghain resident Norman Nodge is back with four new tracks of deep, narcotic techno. Hailing from Brandenburg, Nodge spent the 90s as a DJ, promoter and mentor to the likes of Marcel Dettmann and Marcel Fengler before becoming a Berghain resident in 2005. Since then he has occupied a special place in Berlin techno with a sound that is at once forceful, dubby and hypnotic, evident not only on his Berghain 06 mix and various 12's and compilation contributions for Ostgut Ton, but also on EPs for Dettmann's MDR imprint.

A lawyer by trade, on Embodiment EP Nodge reflects on decades of observing how dancers develop an intuitive relationship to music and process new sounds. 'Tacit Knowing' (A1) is a nod to the feedback loop between the instincts of dancer and producer, combining bassline, breakbeats and Detroit-like strings, which subtly develop into a cavernous techno roller. In contrast, 'Discipline' (A2) is aggressive, updated peaktime acid packed with the sounds of metal and overdriven snares.

On the flipside, 'Gathering' (B1) is a bongo-heavy tribal groover, while 'Embodiment' references a more halcyon Ostgut Ton aesthetic - one that resonates not only in the space of the club but also within the bodies of those occupying it.

Nach gut siebeneinhalb Jahren gibt es endlich wieder eine neue EP des langja¨hrigen Berghain-Residents Norman Nodge; Embodiment verko¨rpert vier neue Stu¨cke deepen und berauschenden Technos. Aufgewachsen in Brandenburg verbrachte Nodge die Neunziger als DJ, Promoter und Mentor von Marcel Dettmann und Marcel Fengler, 2005 begann seine Residency im Berghain. Seitdem nimmt er eine Sonderstellung innerhalb Berlin Technos ein, mit einem Sound, der sowohl kraftvoll, dubbig und hypnotisch ist - kann man nachho¨ren in seinem Berghain 06-Mix und auf verschiedenen 12'es sowie Compilation-Beitra¨gen auf Ostgut Ton, als auch auf den EPs fu¨r Dettmanns MDR-Label.

Bei Tage Anwalt reflektiert Nodge auf Embodiment EP seine dekadenspannenden na¨chtlichen Beobachtungen, wie Tanzende eine intuitive Beziehung zur Musik entwickeln und neue Kla¨nge verarbeiten. - Tacit Knowing' (A1) ist eine Anspielung auf den Feedbackloop zwischen den Instinkten eines Ta¨nzers und DJs, kombiniert Bassline, Breakbeats und Detroit-ma¨ßige Streicher, die sich subtil zu einem kavito¨sen Techno-Brett wandeln. Kontrast: - Discipline' (A2) ist aggressiver, aktualisierter Peaktime Acid voll Kla¨ngen metallischer Sounds und u¨bersteuerter Snares.

Andererseits ist - Gathering'auf B1 ein bongolastiger Tribal-Groover, wa¨hrend das titelgebende Stu¨ck - Embodiment' eine alkyonischere Ostgut Ton-A¨sthetik referenziert - eine, die nicht nur mit dem Raum im Klub nachhallt, sondern auch mit den Ko¨rpern derer, die diesen besetzen.

At the end of 2019, label boss Juan Pablo Pfirter was talking about a busy year ahead for MindTrip and we know exactly what he had in mind. Fresh and new collaborative projects will debut on the label in 2020, starting with his powerful shared EP with Oliver Rosemann who is no stranger to our family.

Together they go as dark as they feel across 4 impressive cuts on their Alpha release, blending peak time intensity with Industrial grooves and dark side body music their own way.

Alpha becomes the first of a multiple collaborative concepts that will expand further over the year.

This is MindTrip!

AND so the spotlight pans to Quantec. Having launched Neighbour Recordings with the Life Is Rhythm EP from Base Pilot, the studio collaboration between label owners Birke TM and Quantec, the imprint now turns to the latter for a solo follow-up with the muchexperienced artist turning in the tasty Moments EP. A self-confessed lover of old-school synths and their lo-fi beauty and emotion, this child of the Eighties naturally gravitates towards deep, dubby, Detroit-esque vibes and much more besides. You can hear it again in his latest work. The dramatic mesmerising synths of Inception are the most apposite aural appetiser, setting the scene perfectly for the main event and dovetailing snuggly with the dub-flecked deepness of Momentum I and the irresistible drive of the truly dope Nocturne. The pulsating, near-menacing throb of Momentum II explores different territory – that of techno – whilst the spacey, chilled groove of Diurnal is the perfect comedown from the EP’s more heady business.

The battle against the plague has raged hard for over a year. Around the globe, dancefloors are empty, layers of dust and broken bottles strewn across them…the glowsticks have long faded to black. But the Cologne mothership KOMPAKT has managed to prevail, bringing inspiration and hope through the message of music to a decaying humanity.

The Reawakening is finally in sight. It is only fitting that New York’s Steve Moore (of Zombi, Gianni Rossi and Lovelock fame) makes his return to KOMPAKT now with this foursome. Especially as his last release for us, “Frame Digging” (KOM 415) directly preceded the start of the pandemic.

AUTO SEQUENCE START – the time arrived for us to press the reset button. The cycle has completed.

Der Kampf gegen die Seuche tobt nun bereits seit über einem Jahr. Rund um den Globus sind die Tanzflächen leer, Schichten von Staub haben sich darüber gelegt, zerbrochenen Flaschen liegen herum ... auch die Leuchtstäbe sind längst erloschen. Doch das Kölner Mutterschiff KOMPAKT hört nicht auf, der darbenden Menschheit Inspiration und Hoffnung durch die Botschaft der Musik zu bringen.

Das Wiedererwachen ist in Sichtweite. Umso passender, dass der New Yorker Steve Moore (bekannt durch Zombi, Gianni Rossi und Lovelock) nun mit dieser 4 Track Maxi sein KOMPAKT-Comeback feiert. Denn seine letzte Veröffentlichung für uns, "Frame Digging" (KOM 415), war direkt vor Beginn der Pandemie erschienen.

AUTO SEQUENCE START - die Zeit ist gekommen, den Reset-Knopf zu drücken. Der Kreis schließt sich.
