Azire - From London

Azire - Just Breathe
Another groove heavy track takes the groover on a journey from the start with its rounded kick and crackle of a clap. Half way through we see the intricacies of the track giving you enough time to Just Breathe and get that breath back before we embark on more serious groove action.

Azire - Unheard Of
The last track takes us more underground and gives us more of a late / afters warehouse groove with its eery intro taken from the jungle we get ready to embark on a darker journey. Perfect sublow bass and a crunch of a kick with the haunting jungle tones and animal chants this one is a serious peak time dance floor destroyer!

Azire - Unheard Of ( Vid deconstruction mix)
There is no one better to give us a reinterpretation and tell a beautiful story then Vid, he beautifully breaks down the track and takes us on an even darker journey. We’ll let the track speak for itself!

Azire: Rising London Producer is an enigmatic entity who has had tracks kill the dance floor from London - Ibiza and beyond. His repertoire is growing as fast as he is now producing and releasing music. From labels such as Whoyostro, Pleasure in mind, System 108 & True Tribe & his latest hit Jazz2Jazz on BeeYou Records.

VID

We have been blessed with Vid playing at our event and now blessing our 1st foray into record label world. Head Honcho of An|dromeda & countless releases on the likes of: Brouqade, Otaku Records, Sound Of Vast, abartik, Pleasure Zone, Saga, Memoria Recordings & We Are to name but a few.

The next strut of Lanthan.audio comes from curator Christian Gerlach himself.

We're glad to share another vinyl relic by adept veteran Feral. 'Woodland' takes us on a trip through his immaculate craftsmanship and inimitable sound, lacing contemporary minimalist deep dub techno with tribal psychedelia.

Feral consistently carries a thread of spirituality throughout his work. Embodying the sound of deep techno through his passion for audio engineering, hardware experimentation and fascination for percussive instruments, as well as an affinity for the shamanic becomes apparent when we swirl in tribal timbres and rhythms.

Finding comfort in the solitude of his studio; the sounds of Feral unearth the path of his multidimensional world, transporting the listener to a haunting, yet grounding refuge within.

The record will be pressed in two color alternatives and come sheathed inside our custom cut hansaboard sleeves, printed in full color with an oil painting by Gabriella Holmstrom.

Biochip C´s obscure Force Fields Volume 1 EP gets a well deserved remaster from the original DATs by Beau Thomas@ Ten Eight Seven and will be pressed by Optimal. Four absolute obscure Hardcore gems that deserve to get more attention this time around, 26 years after it´s initial release in 1994 on Weird Beard Records.

Setting the tone with the first release on Lossless in the new year 2020 is co-owner and omnitalented Mathias Schober.
Mathias is opening LL1222 with the title track „The Fall“ on which he invited Jas of the duo Atelier for a vocal appearance showing a new side of his unique voice.
The sparse instrumentation of the the track, built around handclap rhythms, creates the perfect fundament for the vocal highlights. Additional snare drum and synth hits will do the rest to make you move.
Second track of the EP, “Will Make A Difference” sure does make a difference. It’s a 4/4 not 4/4 kinda track with an ever growing huge synth sound that takes you all the way to the middle part where it bursts into emptiness leaving space for some fierce
bass tones. The track has a certain pop-appeal to it but doesn’t at the same time. This doesn’t make sense at all? Just give it a listen and you’ll know. The third and final track is an instrumental version of “The Fall”. A simple reduction.
The essence of beautifully crafted rhythms and synth atmospheres. It simply feels right.

Munir Nadir delivers the 6th release on the 4Plae Blanc imprint. Overflowing with the fun, funk and freaky sounds that the Turin based tastemaker has become known for, the ‘Pull Yourself EP’ is a certified hip shaker - dancing shoes at the ready.

Some of the labels comrades dish out a couple of luscious remixes on the B Side, Oshana bringing a more floaty feel to ‘Talk About Sex’, reminiscent of some sunny open airs of summers past, whilst our amigo from the Miriam camp, Benson Herbert, gets bumpy with his take on ‘Pull Yourself’.

Forthcoming release on Soma Records from Forward Strategy Group's : Patrick Walker

You may ask: "In the day and age of streaming playlists and the omnipresence of freely available mixes, what's the use of a label compilation?" The answer is simple: labels still serve as a dearly needed filter mechanism in this tsunami of music we're facing every day. Labels strive to establish trust between artists and listeners. They're like your favorite restaurant around the corner. On the spur of the moment, you might find more excitement in that hip place that just opened somewhere else. But when the novelty fades, you'll always return to your sanctuary. The safe place where they know your name and the last drink is on the house. KOMPAKT has become such a place for generations of fans and artists alike. And the TOTAL compilation series serves as its menu: always changing but instantly recognizable.

As per usual TOTAL is a collection of the past years biggest tunes, the creme de la creme of KOMPAKT's steady output of 12"s topped off with eight exclusive unreleased tracks that are also available on the 2LP vinyl edition of TOTAL 19.

With JÜRGEN PAAPE, the notorious VOIGT brothers, THOMAS/MAYER and JÖRG BURGER - all founding fathers are on board. Legacy artists SASCHA FUNKE and JUSTUS KÖHNCKE make their long-awaited comebacks, the latter with a kinky Patrick Cowley homage called "Mindless Sex Track". Cologne young blood JULIAN STETTER nails the starry-eyed, romantic KOMPAKT signature sound with his remix for an up and coming local pop outfit called ALBERT LUXUS. Fellow Colonian JONATHAN KASPAR makes his label debut with his slinky track "Renard". DJ BALDUIN definitely is one to watch in 2020. His massive "E.W.B.A." transcends the friendly populism of an ancient Love Parade anthem while capturing the sincere spirit of today's electro revival. REX THE DOG's "Vortex" and TOM DEMAC's "Serenade" perfectly showcase why KOMPAKT is still one of the most played and charted labels in electronic music today. In a scene that is more fragmented than ever these two producers delivered true consensus hits that are cherished on all sizes and shapes of floors beyond genre boundaries.

The second half completely belongs to a whole new breed from our beloved SPEICHER series such as ANNA, YOTAM AVNI, EXTRAWELT, RAXON, BLACKRACHAS, JOHN MONKMAN and LA FLEUR alongside our full time members PATRICE BÄUMEL, KÖLSCH and GUI BORATTO. The energy levels are way up and the mission reads clearly: We'll never stop dancing this way.

Footjob is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a great double 12" remix compilation with contributions by Gerd Janson, Hans Nieswandt, Shan, Phonk D, Le Rubrique, Lukas Lehmann, Ise Jr. and Sascha Ciminiera

The Aimed trio consists of Ukrainian duo Orbit & Belogurov, who have gained a solid reputation thanks to releases on Adult Only Records, Drumma, Cyclic, Arupa Music, and Slowdance, and Cheise, who has dropped tracks on OGE, Crocus, Kanja Records, Kina Music, and System 108, among others.

Aimed Music's label project will launch with its own VA, featuring cuts from Chris Carrier, FAER (a.k.a. Felipe Valenzuela and Argenis Brito), Onoffon, Herr, Miffy & Miller, Basic7, and Stephan Bazbaz & Asael Weiss

For the first time Versalife appears on Delsin. Having released multiple albums and EPs as Conforce, the prolific Rotterdam based producer now brings a lush electro four-tracker to the Delsin electronic series. Over the course of four tracks he creates a warm and emotive playfield of flawless bassline drifters and atmospheric sounddesign.

We are honoured to begin our label's story with the master of the groove Yvan Genkins. He drops 2 dancefloor tracks with a remix by the young Anthony Megaro. With a career that's seen releases on the biggest tech house labels, Yvan is an expert of crazy drum and rolling basslines.

Looping and filtering, mentioned all too often as an uncool and lazy way of making music, probably a result of the huge amount of bad releases that the techniques are associated with. This release in your hands is the first of a series paying tribute to the crate diggers whose samples and loops in my opinion, are milestones for house music and club culture. Loops that I never got tired of listening too, even for more than two decades in some cases. With the original compositions often sought after and repressed, here we're paying respect to original 'sampling artist" rather than the 'sampled artist', outrageous eh
In this episode: 
Delgado's masterpiece was probably the first successful case of a simple loop going nonstop through an entire arrangment, it was a clear inspiration for many to come. Longo's sample, is the closest example to a perfect loop that I can think of. There are very few grooves with such a strong combination of funk, power and shuffle. Well done Longo and well done Delgado!"

We met Franck Vigroux for the first time years ago at Berlin's Berghain during a soundcheck. At that time he performed with Mika Vainio, with whom Vigroux often worked together.

The first track on »Ballades sur lac gelé« dates back to that time. It was created under the impression of this collaboration and friendship with Mika Vainio. This album is dedicated to him.

Vainio's oeuvre is also significant in connection with the history of raster, so it was only logical and our wish to release this album by Franck Vigroux.

With the beginning of the corona pandemic, Franck Vigroux took up this early material again, he continued to formulate it and completed the present album »Ballades sur lac gelé«. The title already defines the theme of the ballad, a "song/poem with very minimal structures" (quote Vigroux).

"Ballade" is also a play on words with the French word "balade", in this sense a ramble, a ramble over a frozen lake. The reduced, cool structures reflect this. But at the same time, under the surface, the (often distorted) sound carpets steadily increase to immense power. Like ice that grows and tectonic forces that have to erupt, glacier-like.

Vigroux is very skilled at creating music in this minimalist setting. The intertwining of very few musical elements creates a kind of soundtrack that is multi-layered and at the same time universally intelligible.

»Ballades sur lac gelé« will be released on June 26th, 2020 as a digital pre-release exclusively on our sites. The physical formats, i.e. CD and vinyl, can be pre-ordered. The official worldwide release date will be announced at a later point in time.

Once again the Black Brook Limited Series presents finest techno. Access Control comes like a nightmare when you have got something to hide and you are electrified if all the machines and security agents around you try to uncover your secret. You will make it while listening to Access Control. This EP is full of energy, a kind of dark energy that helps you out of your misery. Boost yourself with this straight futuristic sounds against the dark forces on earth!

2019 is mule musiq's 15 years anniversary. we're going to release twelve 12inchs with our friend artists and stefan marx make the collectable artwork. sixth release is our dearest friend lawrence. we don't need to tell about him anymore. musics are just pure beauty.

In the constant search for that special sound and quirky vibe, Particular is back with its third installment and the culprit is none other than Romanian prodigy Lumieux.

Lumieux, or Răzvan by his real name, has been an important name in the Romanian underground scene for a couple of years now. He has played at important venues such as Guesthouse in Bucharest, Midi in Cluj or the legendary Fabric in London with appereances at household festivals such as Sunwaves, Waha or Mioritmic.

We’re off to a smooth and steady start on this vinyl-only release with Bedrock, a track that really sets the mood perfectly with its off-the-wall percussions and linear bass line. Add to this a strong layer of idiosyncratic sounds in the background and you got a perfect warm-up recipe.

The eerie feeling only gets more tenacious as we advance to Tormen Tape. Get on board and prepare for some outer-space sounds at the beginning only for this track to truly expand as it picks up pace. The bass gets stronger by the second and layer upon layer of peculiar elements get thrown in, everything mixing in to create the perfect storm of a track.

The overlapping bass lines hit you right away on the last track, Excalibur. An uncanny voice soon takes over and a cosmic 10-minute journey truly begins, cementing Excalibur as a strong and complex piece of music, always demanding the listener’s attention and constantly evolving.

When experience teams up with new talent, the result can positively surprising. Borgò and Nicolas Duvoisin found some common ground in the deeper shades of the electronic world. White box is a lovely balanced contrast between loops of hypnotic keys and twisted vocal confusion, carried along by a solid dry compact driving beat. No need to introduce mister Johnny D that graces with a gorgeous delicate smooth rework, shining more light and a contemplative feeling on the original, yet incorporating its groovey glitchy elements and quirky quality.

After the incredible 'Dead And Buried EP' Tim Reaper returns to Parallax with this whopper of an EP. The dive into deep-sea levels starts with the Jungle Techno stomper 'Mental Atmosphere' which just carries on as an extension to the last EP. 'Energy Sphere' is a 7 minute monster with many unexpected twists and turns, seductive vocals, grinding jaw-rattling hoovers, and lively pads. Flip it over and 'Subaquatic' is a retro-futuristic dark Jungle tear out. 'Come to me' moans Medusa and forces you to head-dive into uncertain depths where time means nothing. The EP closes off with a collab with Amsterdam-based Yorobi and this is the beautiful secret winner of them all. 'Rhodiola' is a melancholic stunner that has been around on dub for a while and doesn´t need to make noise to draw attention. We witnessed the reactions first hand, eyes closed sweat-drenched people rubbing off and totally losing it on the floor.

After the Kolaps EP on shtum, The Uncanny Valley crew is stoked to present a new bright chapter of the Polish-German friendship which resulted in Chino's AUTOSTRADA. The musician, graphic wizard and all around good guy from Krakow carved four raw and gloomy soul anthems out of his machines to create a record that features a wide range of music which is still connected by a common feeling. AUTOSTRADA isn't just a hard-rocking Electro track in its own right but also an aural reminiscence to the long but fun hours Chino spent on Autobahnen or Autostradas to drive to gigs, for instance at Uncanny Valley's home base Dresden. With DYSCYPLINA, he turns to a wave/EBM approach. The result is a track that encourages anything but disciplined behaviour on the dance floor. CARABO CRUISE on the other hand is his take on Italo anthems, but with a special Chino-touch that is impossible to resist. Think of sunrises in industrial areas. Finally, we got ALWERNIA which is heavily inspired by dark sci-fi movies. If Tarkowski met a bunch of 24-Hour-Party-Robots, this could be the soundtrack.

Veteran Swedish Techno artist Joel Mull revisits one of his earliest aliases as Damm for an album of after-hours inspired morning portraits on A Strangely Isolated Place. Simple observations can set many complex ideas in motion and it was the view from Joel's window that pushed him to create an album inspired by majestic cloud formations and Mother Nature's finest hour. 'Nautical dawn' occurs when the Sun is 12 degrees below the horizon, where the colors, clouds, sounds and atmosphere become an ever-changing spectacle. This phenomenon is reflected through the albums eleven shifting styles and moods; from field recordings and introspective synthesizer melodies, to more upbeat, glittering electronica and head-nod inducing ambient techno. Ten years in the making, the album's variety and depth developed alongside Joel's impromptu production sessions - be it at home in the early hours, or further window-watching on trains across Europe. What evolved as sketches in a variety of styles, soon started to form a narrative similar to his infamous DJ sets; moving seamlessly through chapters, feelings and colors, capturing Joel's passion for all aspects of electronic music. This is a soundtrack for friends watching the sun rise once more, first thing in the morning, or last thing at night.

FREEDOM/FICTION REMIXES is a compilation of six experimental dance tracks featuring an international mix of well known and upcoming artists. Opening with a hybrid rhythmic statement by Berlin based multimedia artist Zoë Mc Pherson (founder of SFX-Label), to be followed by L.A.'s performance duo Pacoima Techno, who bring track 9 – Apparatus – of L Twills' recently released debut album Freedom/Fiction to the Drexciyan dancefloors of their self-proclaimed genre Casa Teka, Xiu Xiu ends side A with a disturbing but electrifyingly lynchian noise interpretation of Freedom/Fiction. Side B takes the Album's tunes to another night's sight: Automatic Subject gets a new coat by John Tejada's well known and intriguing techno-sound, Montreal based Tobias Rochman (one part of Pelada) turns M.A.S.T.E.R.S. into a techno-drum'n'bass version, whilst upcoming Berlin based producer and Dj Nomi Elektra finalizes the spectrum with an acid-house interpretation of L.A. Automatic Subject pt.2. Releasing on the 16thof October, the compilation is a limited edition of 300 12” Vinyls and can be ordered through Word&Sound. The Cover shows “Autoportrait”, a painting by Mexican artist Frieda Toranzo Jäger.






Automatic Subject pt2. Remix Nomi Elektra

After working with the Russian artist Toki Fuko for a long time, "Astatine" is his first own 12 "on Affin.
Our 51st vinyl ep contains a colorful bouquet of hypnotic techno, broken beats and his style-defining metallic sounding dubs.

For its first release, Parisian new label Dantel Records (2017) comes up with a box of groovy minimal tools from famous Djs and Parisian new talents. This VA is made to touch the soul as much as the body. Vinyl Only release.

Mantra Collective Records launches with David Gtronic - Patrior EP demonstrating David's slightly darker side in two carefully considered arrangements. Patior contorts a bassline around a driving, textural foundation with a vocal guaranteed to bring moments of dance-floor clarity. Layers of rolling percussion, dubby abstractions, and a writhing low end compliment each other in the powerful Amvian.

Romania's VID takes elements from both A-side cuts with his Patiormvian Reconstruction mix, fusing incidental sounds with his renowned atmospheric approach. Balance is found and respect demonstrated in this moving interpretation.

Hungarian producer Giash has been on Metroline Limited radar for quite some time. It took a while to get him on board but the wait is finally over: the misteriously titled Sen_d_Ingo Ep is here and it is super-tasty!

An expert crafter of minimal beats and hypnothic grooves, Giash career has spanned over 10 years with his productions being released on wax through seminal labels such as Archipel, Plaisir, Why So Series and many more.

The opening track, Brunc_hc-_h, give us the first shot of underscores and a high dosage of machine funk minimalism. It's a full on/slow-mo industrial churning groover with sci-fi licks and lush pads work!

The second cut on the A side it's the beatiful Imagin__ary and it's deep minimalism at the highest level. It's a great mixture of new and old as far as reduced jacking grooves are concerned.
It could have easily fitted in the late 90's Perlon/Playhouse era but it surely sounds as current, fresh and forward thinking now.

Side B is solely occupied by the tripped out grooves of Sen_d_ingo. Close your eyes, imagine yuorself in an East London basement at the darkest of after-parties, this track is the perfect fit for that particular moment.
Over 13 minutes of dark and hypnotic beauty, the track is crunchy and punchy with a wigglesome broken rhythm, some subtle synth variations and plenty of dark and deep atmoshperics!

From an unknown universe, Love is the answer. Love's an open
door. Love will, Love can, Love still, Love wins... are U ready for
some love?

Unless you're too young to know or have been living under a rock
for the past twenty years, there's little chance that you haven't
come across Marc Romboy's music in one way or another. The
Systematic Recordings boss has had many irons on the fire
since establishing his first imprint, the now defunct Le Petit
Prince - gathering an untold number of releases on labels as
diverse as Ovum, Innervisions, Rebirth or 20:20 Vision in his two
decades of intense activity. Tracing back to 1994, when he used
to rummage through the crates of Delirium - the primitive
incarnation of KOMPAKT (closed and revived under its new
name in 1998), the friendship between Romboy and the
KOMPAKT family has largely withstood the test of time. After
losing touch for a few years, Romboy and Michael Mayer would
resume contact during a festival in the south of France - a
reunion that eventually led to Systematic joining Kompakt's
distribution catalogue a couple months later.

With such a longstanding complicity to build from, it was about
time for the Rheinland natives to actually team up on a release
from start to finish, and SPEICHER 103 is their inaugural act of
faith. A cosmic storm in a teacup, the A-side opener 'Galaxy In
An Atom' blows some furious stellar winds across a shape-
shifting tide of loud kicks and mutant bass moves, beating
across uneven arpeggiated synth reliefs through thick and thin.
Then, the chaos makes way for emotive piano stabs to take over
in the track's last third, gracefully gliding into a further
appeasing compass. Following up pedal to the metal, the
pulsating 'Elektrisiermaschine' makes for a proper peak time
ball of fire. Built upon a rolling and pitching bass comber, the
track sets its pistons and rods in dancing motion straightaway,
tightening the bolts bar after bar as it expands its abraded
melodic lines and batucada-like rhythms with amplified
magnitude for over seven minutes of sustained mind-bending
onslaughts.

Mysterious new label. No names, no art just let the music do the talking

2x10" - A tribute to da Rastafari Elders

'EDIT PIAF is Barcelona based limited white label. Its first reference: EDIT PIAF 01 is now out! It features 2 dancefloor oriented edits from talented secret artists.'

Transcendental Movements Vol. 1 marks the beginning of a new full-length ambient series, curated by IDO founder Valentino Mora. Since the age of 14, Mora has been searching for alternative tools to relieve anxiety. In 2016, he discovered the music of Marow and Olaf Tonstein and found that through listening to this particular music he was able to access a new state of meditation. This began the journey of researching the technique he calls 'active mediation'. When he discovered that a lot of Marow and Olaf Tonstein's music from 2009 had never been released on vinyl, he knew he needed to release it one day. In their work, Mora identified a feeling pertinent to the concept of the label, one that exemplified the connection between minimal/ambient/glitch and IDO's ambient house sound. From there he reached out to other artists that he felt could relate to this idea, and asked them to contribute a track in response to the concept. The resulting compilation varies in tempo and technique, illustrating each artist's idiosyncrasies, yet as a whole it forms a cohesive and potent statement. Active meditation differs from regular stationary meditation through the focusing of one's attention on sound whilst in motion -- the form this motion takes is personal. The goal of active meditation is to transcend one's awareness of motion -- in fact, the awareness of being in a body -- and to become absorbed entirely in the sound. Mora found that this process has the potential to ease anxiety as all conscious thought is alleviated through concentrated focus on music. For the cover artwork, Mora selected a painting from visual artist Raphael Lecoquierre, in which the movement, airiness and minimalism elicits a profound sense of calm. Mora also invited writer and artist, Lou Drago, to interpret the concept in words. Their text, Suspending Reality, features on the inside of the gatefold cover.

Red Rising out of the ruins - dystopian producer and mastermind Rødhåd follow up with his third EP on Dystopian since 2012.
In three tracks between hell and mars, the red techno man shows his amazing melancholic and deep style.

Eagervision is back with a bang a year after its first vinyl-only release. This new compilation pushes the quality even higher, merging four top-notch tracks from some of the label’s top producers, each one bringing a special touch to it while following a common leitmotif of crisp, futuristic, house beats.

Alffie has been perfecting a fresh and original minimal sound that is exemplified in the opening track “Be Bop”, a flawless piece of quality modern house music. The energic A-Side continues with ‘Directionless’ by Leeds’ producer Pük, a middle-of-the-night microhouse tune that feels ready to smash the dancefloor.

On the B-Side the sound gets calmer, but also deeper. The affirmed Romanian producer Octave dives deep in a collaboration with a new face for Eagervision, Specter, while the Italo-Romanian duo Nedeea close the LP in style with the mysterious ‘Suflet’.

There’s no doubt: Eagervision is taking it to the next level, perfecting its sound and contributing to innovating the scene by telling a story with every single release.

youANDme is back on Rotary Cocktail Recordings and presents a tribute to the deep and raw jacking vibes of early Chicago house. Two great remixes by Shinedoe and Timo Maas round up the package.
