Naïf 009 is the second in a series of five ep´s that are released around the release of the DJ-Mix-CD also named - naïf which has it´s release in April 2018
The second strike comes with two superstrong Techno tracks: - Lean Forward is a contribution by Nihad Tule that wil burn the dancefloors. Followed by - Not Now, Not Yet - a scratchy track from the hands of one half of Cassegrain: RHYW.
Side B heads into trippy territories with a heady, sparse but seductive groove by Marco Shuttle followed by a track from Efdemin in a collaboration with his close friend and fellow Konrad Sprenger (PAN)

After more then three years of silence as a producer, Efdemin a.k.a Phillip Sollmann returns with a striking hybrid concept that merges the album format with the continuous DJ mix' format, presenting completely new material in a seamless manner. The CD-mix, named Naïf, officially reinstates his label of the same name and is a sprawling tour of inner space featuring 19 distinct tracks from fellow producers along with an additional ten that feature Efdemin himself (either as soloist or collaborator). The release condenses his decade-long DJ-ing journey and evolution as a producer into a single potent elixir of contemporary techno.
Naïf consists of completely unreleased material from both himself and valued collaborators, all of which will eventually manifest as EP releases: five on his own Naïf label and two more on Curle.

WRWTFWW Records is happy to announce the release of Para One’s new album SPECTRE: Machines of Loving Grace, available in half speed mastered 180g double lp housed in a heavy sleeve with UV spot varnish. Machines of Loving Grace, the new album by Para One, whose real name is Jean-Baptiste de Laubier could be called fiction. It is an object freed from constraints, formats, genres, territories: the gospel of a new world. Six years after Club, eight years after Passion, his previous LP, this lover of electronic music, who has also been putting his sensitivity to the service of movies (soundtracks for Céline Sciamma in particular) opens with this record a new dimension in his artistic career. “I needed to break away from patterns and systematisms of formats, and take unexpected turns. To do so, I had first to allow myself to do so”. Allow oneself and maybe above all confront oneself – with one’s childhood, with one’s childhood’s ghosts, and what fantasies, ideals, memories, and grey areas they harbor. He had to go back – without giving up on his position as an adult, as a full-fledged artist – to the sources of his imagination, to the moment when music was holding almost mystical power. And then revisit it to make something new out of it. Just like Sanity, Madness & the Family (the feature film directed by Para One that he just finished and of which it is a consubstantial part), Machines of Loving Grace has an investigation around a family secret and the father figure as its starting point. “When you go down the path – of a work, of a person, of the past – you never really find out what was. You find yourself

After 9 years from its first release, Marco Shuttle's hard to find eternal anthemic classic "The Vox Attitude" gets re-issued for the second time in a deluxe remix pack including both tracks of the original record (from 2011) and remixes by Atom TM, Pessimist and Marco Shuttle himself. Unlike the first remix pack that came out in 2013, and that was a single 12" with remixes by Pangaea and Joy Anderson, this second remix project will also feature the track, Spaziale, B side of the original first release. The Vox attitude which is the track that pretty much launched Marco Shuttle's international career is an anthemic metallic big room dubby techno tune, with strong sensual almost garagey vocal samples and diffuse percussions. Atom TM's rework of the track maintains quite intact many elements of the original at the beginnng, but gets progressively sprinkled with his trademark FM sounds and vocoder processed vocals very much reminiscent of his HD album on Raster Noton to end up with an epic synth line which unfolds towards the closing of the track. Marco Shuttle's "to the bone" remix is a very stripped down 4/4 grovy reinterpretation built around a what sounds like a very playful and wld Roland TR 909 live jam on top of which the single hit vocal samples of the original are layered in a way that they almost create a bassline that extends through the whole length of the track Spaziale stirs into a more dark heady territory with a haunting far reverberated bassline enriched by eerie trumpet sounding syhth parts in full effect Marco Shuttle style. Pessimist's remix is a downtempo broken track built around a heavy bass reworked version of the bassline of the original, resulting into a track in that full neo Trip Hop Bass Bristolian style the UK producer has so wonderfully executed on his releases on Blackest ever Black and his own label Pessimist Productions.

Rave Or Die keeps on spreading fire on the dancefloors with another uncompromising split EP decidaced to intransigent clubs. On the A-side, guest and legendary producer Oscar Mulero delivers with "Taste The Rope" a no mercy tune characterized by a dark atmosphere
over huge tension and energy. Massive and coarse claps combined with skittish drums fuse with oppressive bass line and pads.

On side B, ROD host Umwelt showcases his untouchable style with "Creature Obscure", an irrestisitble anthem that sounds like an invasion of
rave stab enhanced by disturbing bass lines and heavy snare drums.

On top of this 10" picture disc, designer Elzo Durt from Belgium offers two different yet crazy artworks in his unique and colorful signature!

Moan is back with a new awesome vinyl release. This time with 4 new incredible artists like Fabe, iO(Mulen), Leon & Stephan Bazbaz. Four powerful tracks that will leave for sure an indelible mark on a beautiful limited 300 copies colored vinyl.

The Solar Winds EP completes a trilogy of EP releases from London based DJ/Producer duo Suburban Architecture. Drawing heavily on influences from one of Drum & Bass's most innovative eras, the mid to late 90s, the duo's productions place a contemporary spin on sounds rooted in this golden era of dance music.

In a similar vein to the previous two EP releases (2019's "Visions" and 2020's "Alternative Futures"), this new 4 track EP delivers another collection of sounds that meet at the intersection of 90s and modern production. Title track "Solar Winds" laces rolling drums over melancholy piano riffs, ultimately giving way lively jazz drums, spacious atmospherics and unexpected bass twists. "Unwound" marries dreamy, swimming layers of pads and flutes with Jungle drum programming and a bubbling b-line to deliver a track that sits somewhere between '94 Jungle and Jazzy roller.

"Renegade Horns" meanwhile is all about contrast - subtle pads, piano and of course atmospheric horns clash with massive Dillinja-inspired drums and weighty bass. "Footprints" closes out the EP - an epic roller packed with textured Rhodes, female vocals, light synth lines and a distant guitar.

Adam is as quintessential to the label as it gets. His first two EP's were full on baskets of dynamite and number three is no different. He has three variations on a theme in A Minor, and the theme is...absolute slammeroos. Remix duties come from great friends of the label and Slam Jams 1 gang, Tape Fear. They've come correct with an absolute hound dog of a 2-step take on Variation 1. Turn the subs up and dive on in...

The first SK11_X of 2021 is from Arkan, a young Parisian producer with a bright future.

With notable releases on his imprint Autonome Records alongside Oktobr and amazing remixes in the last year, this record is really one to put Arkan on the map. The "Skalter" EP is 4 tracks full of groove and energy, already being supported by top names in the scene.

Decatur Records launches its first release by Connecticut-based artist Lucho. His debut EP is a versatile record with four sleek and imaginative feel-good house tracks that are perfect for different dance-floor situations.

House music veteran Joeski is back on Crosstown Rebels with In Dub We Trust. The heavy-duty two track release showcases the deeper and dubbier side to the producers capabilities yet withholds the signature Joeski style.

First up Lessons Learned gets to work with chugging beats, lusty horns and reggae style vocals. A powerhouse of a track, varied keys stabs are intermittently placed throughout to deliver a hypnotic effect with powerful builds and drops designed for that peak-time dancefloor. Next up Faded takes on a heavy, distorted bass with broken, skippy beats and infectious vocals.

In the continually evolving dance music world where trends come and go, Joeski has stayed at the pinnacle of the industry, keeping true to the original values he learnt playing in front of crowds at Limelight, Tunnel, Paladium, Nasa and at his first residency, the “Together” parties at the legendary Roxy in New York. Since 2001 his Maya Recordings has gone from strength to strength and releases have been heard on dancefloors from New York to Ibiza and beyond. Alongside the label, Joeski has also produced for well-respected taste-making imprints such as Crosstown Rebels, Defected, Desolat and Poker Flat.

A collection of side notes, a tale of the little stories. Compiled over the course of years, renewed, revisited, enlarged and extended, a very personal collage of single frames and flickering motion. Long overdue to find its place in the shelf, Kleintierschaukel‘s first album is ready to accompany the season change. The perfect fit for upcoming golden hours and longer lasting nights.

Perc Trax is proud to announce the first collaborative EP from Randomer and Perc, two artists working in different areas of the UK dance scene, but who share a similarly uncompromising attitude towards pushing their sound forward.

Randomer's connection to Perc Trax has grown from his set at the Perc Trax Boiler Room session in late 2014 to his first appearance on the label with his recent remix of Ansome's 'Back Alley Sally'.

Across this EP the two producers fuse together Randomer's intricate rolling rhythms with Perc's aggressive snarl to serve up three tracks of screw-faced north London grot.

Forward-thinking electronics courtesy of Australian newcomer Solar Suite with fellow Melburnian Escape Artist turning up on the flip with a euphoric remix of “Outer Orbit”. This release is the first in a three-part series titled “Musica Australis Incognita” showcasing timeless and captivating contemporary electronic music from a new-generation of
Australian producers.

East London imprint Late Night Superglue presents the first in its various artists ‘Biscuit’ series, with four rascal tracks from the underground…

The A-side kicks off with an inimitably menacing number from Droste, followed by driving broken-beat garage energy from Pekkuliar.
The B-side brings relentlessly dreamy 2-step from Driahn & Ease Up George, and concludes with a loopy late-nighter from Yard Customer.

We live in a dance music world that constantly cannibalizes itself. Since something that once was only a sound and a feeling, got named, re-named and categorized, it became easy to reference a time, a place or a movement in a record. But: if you wanna bake a great cake, you got to stick to the recipe. Alan Dixon’s La Danza EP follows that line very well. You get Italo-House waves that would make Irma and Calypso records proud, washing over you, arpeggiated disco bass lines, boogie swag and a beautiful ambient composition that makes you dance without beats. The London based debut for Running Back is at the same time joyous, carefree, smart, bold and bittersweet. Four tracks for almost every taste and definitely the icing on any dance cake. Extra special thanks to Toni Rossano. „

Hot on the heels of what is proving to be one of the EP’s of the year in Funk Purpose Volume 3 Samosa Records keep their 2020 heat going with everyone’s favourite work-a-holic Greek disco missionary C.Da Afro.

He’s a producer with disco and house flowing through his veins and is back with another monster of an EP here.

Featuring three tracks of divine disco infused with sultry Latin flavours it’s a beautifully balanced release. First up is the eponymous title track in Afro-Disiac. This one is deep groove and brass heavy house. The expressive bass groove lays the foundation for some stellar brass stabs and solos galore with some wonderful guitar licks keeping the track fresh and funky through-out. It’s a track for those wonderfully warm summers’ days when we have nothing more to worry about than to dance in the Ibizan sun.

Next up is Smoothie a deeper but no less groove infused track. Again packed to the hilt with some wonderful brass work, it’s another Latin edged track with a hooky vocal which grabs you by the scruff of the neck and bounces you all the way to the middle of the throng on the dance-floor. Solid percussion work keeps the energy levels deceptively high here. A seriously smooth track indeed!

Closing the EP out co-label boss De Gama goes to work on the edit of Brazilian Groove. This one is a track which originally popped up on C.Da Afro’s Expresso EP on Samosa a year ago and went on to be a huge DJ favourite across the rest of the year. Giving it a slightly tougher feel De Gama has kept all the best moments of the original intact adding in extra percussion and a heavier kit to take it straight to the main room. A solid rework which will give this one strong legs to see it through another year.

A wonderful EP all round yet again for both Samosa and C.Da Afro and another one that is going to fly when it hits the shelves so make sure you get on that pre-order sharpish.

Support from Kevin Cutts, Bruno Bolla, Jaegerossa, Chuggin Edits, Leo Mas, 80's Child, Luca Moplen, Andy Williams (Midnight Riot Records), Simon Hodge (BBC Radio 6), DJ Supermarkt (Too Slow To Disco), Fingermann, DJ Rocca, Get Down Edits (Darren Daz Dalton), Jacques Renault, Nice 7, Dj Severino (Horse Meat Disco), C. Da Afro, and Les Inferno-

For the next vinyl instalment by Fokuz Recordings newcomers Air.K and Cephei return to the label with ''Just Because'', an absolute face melter with cut up heavy delayed vocals and tightly processed breaks. On the flip Need For Mirrors and Concord Dawn take things down a notch with the hypnotic ''Willow Grain''.

or part 4 of the FOKUZ050 series, the mighty Command Strange from Kazakhstan teams up with Nottinghill, UK based producer Dynamic resulting in a beautifull jazzy roller. 'Lost In You' is a true piece of craftsmanship: a smooth rolling drumline accompanied by delightfull jazz samples eventually switching to a misty atmospheric vibe.

Running successful parties and driving a label, that's a challenge that excites the Strasbourg based Ordinaire Records crew !

And what a better choice to release Kicks, a party regular on the rise, and El Kazed, crew insider.

After a strong EP on Rutilance Recordings, Kicks smashes the A-side with two highly effective dancefloor cuts that embodies an interesting synthesis between groovy rhythms patterns and deep synths.

The B-side follows up with label co-founder El Kazed : dreamy, atmospheric, dubby but still complementary to the driving tracks that open the EP.

Supported by Chris Stussy, SE62 and David Mast among others, this first only vinyl release is a fresh start which announces beautiful days for Ordinaire Records.

It’s been a rollercoaster of a launch for Daje Funk records, a brand new limited 7” imprint which popped out of nowhere in 2019. Their first two releases, which dropped in quick succession, were nothing short of stellar with huge edits coming from Les Inferno, De Gama, Massimo Berardi & The Funk District. All were well received both critically and by the DJ community with support from some of the best selectors out there including Moplen, Fingerman, Jacques Renault and Lego Edit.

You will be pleased to know that DFR003 is just as ridiculously funky pairing up edits from Italian super producer DJ Rocca and another duo of seriously hot Italians Dirtyelements & Drunkdrivers.

DJ Rocca, who surely must be one of the busiest producers on the scene, kicks off proceedings with his supremely tight edit of Crew SDR’s ‘Don't Give Up’. This one is feel-good party funk all the way, designed first and foremost for the dance-floor. Building the groove with some great drum programming, jazzy keys and a hip shaker of a bassline, it hooks you straight away before setting things properly alight when the Saxophone kicks in. Changes galore keep the attention and the dance-floor moving. A wonderful track!

Flipping over Dirtyelements & Drunkdrivers go to town on Fat B’s ‘Keep It coming’. Bringing in some of the funkiest elements from The Fatback Band’s Bus Stop, it’s a ripping 6 minutes of pure dance-floor joy. The bassline and horns tear up the soundsystem as the looped up vocals merge perfectly with some sublime keys to give the track a dubbed out but hugely energetic disco-funk feel.

DJF003 is another release packed with serious quality. Make sure you grab it quick as this one will fly out of the door.

Second release for the Decouple Series, a project that aims to showcase artists working, in their own ways, at the bold fringes of electronic composition, experimenting around the topics of increasing complexity, dependencies and miscommunication in a media-saturated digital era.

British producers Dale Cornish and Sim Hutchins join the project, the former playing with an anti-sober, almost eccentric euphoria, the latter with nostalgic and slighty eerie ambient feel. The thinness of reality is made of transparent things and refractions - external and internal points of view of the same subject.

Croydon's prodigy Dale Cornish joyously plays here with a terse, oblique, abstract, almost candid, almost brutal TR- 909's 'floor friendly pattern. Not immune to unpredictable subtle fractures, the witty nine minutes of percussive repetition stretches out beyond its physical form, hinting at moments of climax but never overwhelming its voyeuristic nature. Saturated handclaps and hi-hat pan-pots widen top-end frequencies while classic 909 claves incursions, cowbells and tambourines counterpoint. What sounds like a recording of Dale's own voice lasciviously recurs so to become the track's title itself - 'California'! Playfully pointillist explorations, pulse and percussive deconstructed gestures place this track into the elusive territory between dance-floor and experimental.

'The product of a bleak winter night, cold fingers gripped tightly on restraint/release controls. Red wine sipped from a mug in lieu of adequate central heating. Stifled sense of euphoria inferred by subtle melodies not brave enough to visibly cross frozen pads, instead opting to lurk in the chill of closed hats and hollow bandpasses. Though unable to procure the resources required to stoke the internal flames of creative thought, I powered through instead and struck tipsily at chords, and at the red-skied February dawn 'Druk Pak' was the end result'. No better words than Sim Hutchins' own to describe a tune of potential somnambulism, obscure awarness and future nostalgia for the present-day. Another time his vision, sounds and impulses set markers of contemporaneity.

All cover pictures for the Decouple Series are taken from Alice Bonfanti's 'Transparent Things' courtesy of the artist.
