Cardiff's best kept secret Chesus debuts on 4lux with a release of his own. 4 strong deep house tracks. Cleverly combining the old with the new, Chesus shows his amazing production skills once again. The single features collaborations with fellow Cardiff producers Kofi Tarris and, of course, The Organ Grinder with whom he previously released the club banger Steam Roller. Tip!

David Norland is an Emmy-nominated English composer living and working in Los Angeles. Most recently he composed the score to the current HBO film “My Dinner With Herve” (HBO 2018) starring Peter Dinklage and Jamie Dornan.

His work with Emmy-winning director Sacha Gervasi includes the award-winning documentary "Anvil! The Story Of Anvil", (which won the IDA Best Feature award, an Emmy award, the Indie Spirit Best Doc award, and numerous other best doc awards around the world) as well as the score for “November Criminals” (Sony 2017) starring Chloe Moretz and Ansel Elgort. David Norland was also the music supervisor for the movie "Hitchcock" featuring Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren & Scarlett Johansson.

Since 2010 he has composed much of the music for US broadcasting giant ABC’s primetime news documentaries. His work for ABC is broadcast in the US and around the world on a daily basis.

Having been a chorister from an early age, singing daily in Westminster Abbey, and a boy treble in The Elizabethan Consort of Voices, a touring choral group of the time, he also composes choral music. His electronic band Solar Twins was signed by Madonna to Maverick Records, and rode high on the US dance charts, and his record writing, production and mixing work with Jamaican legends Sly and Robbie has been nominated for a Grammy.

"Glam Tear Stain" is the first real solo full length of David Norland. It combines electronic influences, elements of his film scoring work and more intimate, minimalistic piano and string arrangements.

"The music I want to make has changed over time - from imitation baroque pieces as an 11 year old chorister, through guitar pop with my first teenage bands, experimental sonic works with my first rudimentary recording equipment in my early 20s, through electronics, drum and bass, and reggae, leading finally to piano, choral, and string music informed by my film scoring work.”

"Glam Tear Stain" is simple melodic and tonal music for for piano and strings, filtered through the electronic, spatial, and experimental lens of Norland's earlier musical endeavors - and on a personal level was made over a time of profound sadness, change, and acceptance. It’s more unapologetically emotional than other music in the broad neoclassical field, and often stranger, too, drawing from influences as diverse as Future Sound Of London and 16th century English choral music.

Perfect Timing' is the title of Dragosh's new release. The four tracker features three Dragosh originals and a remix from Michael McLardy and Dudley Strangeways. The second release from the Romanian producer this year, it shows his flying form and commitment to continue doing what he loves.

The EP opens with 'Josum'. With a stripped, crunching groove, a clipping synth bass soon joins in. Filled with small noises, 'Josum' invades your headspace and pushes your head down, your body up. A minimal, techy affair, it will not let you rest with its revolving bass and invasive, unsteady beat. The remix reels in the strangeness a bit while maintaining the minimal, never-standing-still feel to the original. Computer bleeps join the tunnelling groove, delivering a remix that it is more dance friendly but remains in the realm of heady weirdness.

Next up is 'Perfect Timing', the title track. Beginning with a cleaner cut beat than 'Josum', 'Perfect Timing' still maintains the feel of the EP with a rattling percussive beat before hitting you with a deep, thunderous bass. With haunting synths far in the background, the track keeps you guessing as to what is coming next. 'Bad Idea' closes out the EP in a decidedly more subdued fashion. Still in keeping with the deep, heady feel of the other track, it does so in a more low-key and laid back fashion. With a retro drum-machine led rhythm and a tractor beam for a bass, 'Bad Idea' is perfect for a darkened, end-of-the-night session.

We're glad to introduce you to our very first release from Moony Me. This Vienna based artist has already shown his talent with a recent release on Uncanny Valley alongside Max Graef, S3A and Cuthead.

Opening the record are PIN UP CLUB with ' Dilapidated '
The band was approached enthusiastically by Mireia Records' label heads RSS DISCO last year afterlistening to their first record 'Friends Of The Vortex' on Bordello A Parigi and seeing their live show on a dutch festival. Everyone was on the same page (of the book about Italo Disco's legacy) quickly, music was exchanged, and the fruits of this likeminded partnership can finally be heard out loud.
'Dilapidated' takes you from a state of pondering into the spiral of a fever's dream and back. Melancholic pads are balanced with an infectious bassline on the foundation of hard-hitting drums.
Two remixes deconstruct the original track for different parts of the night on the dancefloor: LAUER (Running Back, Permanent Vacation) recruits cow-bells, sirens and ... power to his arsenal and thereby shoots the song towards the sweaty ceiling of your neighborhoods basement rave. His knack for melodies and euphoria is widely known but he really manages to knock you out of the park with this one.
RSS DISCO channel the original track in to a psychedelic journey with a distinctive Italo feeling. A frayed lead melody interwoven with moist Oberheim chords and backed up by old-schoolish drums and a classic arpeggiated Juno Bassline ignite neon lights and incense at the same time.
On the flipside CONGA FEVER is bopping you deep into the thicket, accompanied by his ' Chihuahua '. Whirring synths, striding drums, and a bassline heavy as the setting sun make up this groover. The song feels moody and balearic, accentuated with strings in an arabian tuning, yet it's decidedly FUN and danceable. Conga Fever, who already had a solo EP and a contribution to the ' We'll Sea ' series on Mireia Records, impresses with music that sounds effortlessly thick and interwoven - surely achieved by playing all instruments himself and a keen ear on every frequency.
The remixer of this side is Jacob Korn (Uncanny Valley) who jokingly referred to his mix as the 'teutonic approach'. The incense has burned out, making space for a new-beat-esque groove, reflecting the cold neon. The bassline and chords still flutter playfully but make no mistake, it's a straight call to the dancefloor.

11xxx27 returns on Infidel Bodies with a new tape release "No Hope, No Fear".

The sound is purely industrial with ambient/techno influences and blends perfectly with the graphic concept (by the artist) that deals with social/political issues.

The dark sound of desolate atmospheres filled with marches of incisive kicks and metallic shots, fully embody the sense of oppression, anguish, revolt, fear, common to many scenarios belonging to the past and present.

An absolutely suggestive mood, characterized by research.
Samples taken from documentaries and postwar films, collages created by the search for images in newspapers and history books, manage to represent a scenary where all hope is lost and
where fear is won.

The remixers UVB, Raffaele Attanasio, Operant have fully embraced the project, participating with three reinterpretations of great impact.

Fundamental Records' interesting electro music project called ''Electric Eclectics'' does not end with the monster release of 21 vinyl records in a wooden box (with tracks from Arpanet, Cygnus, Carl Finlow, Cignol, Jensen Interceptor and Microlith to name a few), but comes with the additional ''Ghost Series'', that fit perfectly in the remaining space of the ''Electric Eclectics'' box. Each record is a picture of the electro music released in the line that Fundamental Records has us accustomed, each sleeve silkscreen printed by hand in the same color of the vinyl record. Talk about the music itself is something that Fundamental Records try to avoid in each release, if you want to know why you only have to check the project Music for The Other People Place to understand this philosophy. Best advice, check all these excellent tracks!

Acid Pauli is back with another three-track EP on the label he co-manages with friend and collaborator Nico Stojan. This EP, self-effacingly titled 'Had to get rid of some Shit', showcases Martin Gretschmann’s dancefloor prowess yet again. 'Dancing In The Trunk' is a hyped-up loopy banger - minimal in instrumentation but fully psychedelic in execution. 'Goran Utan' has a deeper, darker edge, with a tension that will tighten the grip on many dancefloors. 'Shakmat, but happy' appears in 'Pauli's Psychedelic Breakfast Take 9' and is a slow-building, loop-based groover, eventually opening up to reveal tinges of acid.

KUSI Records proudly presents Livio & Roby on their 7th release. For the first time we skipped the remix on this one because the Romanian DJ Team delivers two dope originals you definitely shouldn't miss.

A1) The first track of the compilation, - Nuk by subjected is based on square sounding loops, driven by soft as well as dynamic sounding hi hats. It's character would suit openings and peak time sets.

A2) Second track produced by Italian powerhouse - Kaiser is filled with pulsating sounds, which makes you feel as if you are space traveling, leaving you with an impression of touching the future instead of the past.

B1) - SX One , starting with a moody pads smoothly turns into properly stomping track. When the throbbing sound is appearing we have no doubt thatthis track would perfectly suit big room venues. Great track by the rising techno queen Denise Rabe.

B2) Coming to an end, we meet a track of another Italian producer. MTD delivers a hypnotic and pounding piece, gradually releasing it's uprising temper.

After their successful debut on the Bangers compilation Teenage Mutants are back on Terminal M with a strong 4 track ep. Great melodies to trip away on the dancefloor! (Monika Kruse)

On the a side we get a nice set of percussions. Pads and spacey sounds are coming along to finish the arrangement. The great rough sounding chord coming in the second half of the second minute seems to become stronger as the track evolves.

The b side holds a strong dubby ride, fine chords being triggered alongside the track at the right moments. The smooth bass sticks all the elements into the final mix. Near the end some field recordings made in Paris can be heard before the bassline switches and the track ends.

Phase Fatale makes his Ostgut Ton debut with J.G. Ballard-inspired EP Over the past four years, Hayden Payne aka Phase Fatale has earned a reputation as a techno innovator, both for the broad spectrum of dystopian electronics included in DJ sets as well as his deep understanding of synthesis and sound design in his own productions. Having previously released on labels such as Jealous God, Payne made his Unterton debut with last year's Anubis EP. Since then he has settled into residences at both Berghain in Berlin and Khidi in Tbilisi, released his first LP on Hospital Productions and kicked off his own label BITE with a collaborative EP between himself and Silent Servant. On his debut 4-track EP for Ostgut Ton, Reverse Fall, The New York native has sharpened the rhythmic contours of his productions, creating an imposing wall of sound within the techno framework. Inspired in part by Crash, J.G. Ballard's dystopian novel on the fetishization of car crashes, Reverse Fall is uncompromising motorized, cybernetic techno - infused with haunting soundtrack-like flourishes reminiscent of films by directors John Carpenter and Dario Argento. The night drive is audible from the get go on the EP's title track, accelerating and swerving at the pace of a dark, melodic bassline and distorted hi-hats. From there, the lumbering tempo, drone and teeth chattering sonics on 'Incision' (A2) suggest twisted wreckage. 'Blackbox' (B1) picks up the speed with whip-crack snares, rim shots and bursts of distortion, while EP closer, 'Empty Whip' (B2) offers a more spacious groove, where staccato synth lines flash across the stereo image, punctuated by the sounds of metal-on-metal. While Reverse Fall is a slight departure from Payne's previous releases in its concentrated focus on techno, it's this focus that is also the EP's motor.

Phase Fatale vero¨ffentlicht J.G. Ballard-inspirierte EP auf Ostgut Ton Im Lauf der letzten vier Jahre hat sich Hayden Payne alias Phase Fatale einen Ruf als Erneuerer von Techno erarbeitet - sowohl hinsichtlich des breiten Spektrums dystopischer Electronics in seinen DJ-Sets, als auch wegen seines tiefen Wissens von Synthese und Sounddesign in seinen Produktionen. Nach Releases auf Labels wie Jealous God debu¨tierte Payne 2017 mit der EP Anubis auf Unterton. Seitdem u¨bernahm der New Yorker Club Residencies in seiner Wahlheimat Berlin (Berghain) und seinem - quasi - Zweitwohnsitz Tiflis (Khidi), vero¨ffentlichte sein Debu¨talbum Redeemer auf Hospital Productions und startete außerdem sein eigenes Label BITE mit einer kollaborativen EP seiner selbst mit Silent Servant. Seine erste O-TON, Reverse Fall, atmet einen frischen, reinen Geist von Techno - weder nostalgisch noch futuristisch, eher anarchisch und beila¨ufig visiona¨r. Phase Fatale erweitert mit dieser 12" die klangliche Variation und musikalische Narrative seines bisherigen Schaffens als Producer ebenso wie er die Bandbreite seiner DJ und Live-Sets spiegelt. Gleichzeitig verschiebt er die Genreparameter von Techno vorwa¨rts: ihm geht es musikalisch weniger um ‚ha¨rter', sondern um dichtere Atmospha¨ren und basslastige Grooves einerseits, um einen bissigen, markanten und scharfkantigen Sound andererseits. Auf Reverse Fall gibt es von Film(musik) - namentlich Carpenter und Argento - informierte Stellen: markant-melodio¨se, bedrohliche Synth-Arpeggios, Staccato-Hi-Hats, du¨stere Sechzehntelsequenzen, knackige Snares und schnalzende Peitschenschla¨ge, noisige Drones und dro¨hnende Pads. Zwei Stu¨cke wie gemacht fu¨r halsbrecherische Hochgeschwindigkeitsfahrten auf der na¨chtlichen U¨berholspur (- Reverse Fall', - Blackbox'), zwei abgebremste Stu¨cke fu¨r die Horrorszenarien danach (- Incision', - Empty Whip'). Musik, Karosserie, Ko¨rper und Kopf verma¨hlend - hier inspiriert von J.G. Ballards Verkehrstodfetisch Crash, dort a¨sthetisch im Geiste Dirk Skrebers um Stahlpfeiler gewickelt. Eine Abfahrt u¨ber das gesamte Frequenzspektrum, mit Frontalcrash in einer schroffen Klangwand.

Adding to previous 12'es on Ostgut Ton and his own RK label fellow Neuko¨llner and Berghain resident Kobosil offers four new uncompromising Techno club tools.

While all cuts on the 105 release share filthy, stone-cold, elemental rhythms - pounding, energetic and hypnotic 4/4 kick drum slaps - the devil is, like with all Kobosil productions, in the aesthetic details. '40000 L' uses gargling synth patterns and howling horns to dramatic effect; 'Bei Nacht H (178)' contrasts the kick with a harsh, tinny drumbeat and menacing melody pad, creating a nightmarish vibe.

'Backmask N' on B1 offers heavily alienated vocal samples alongside rave-reminiscing synth stabs and staggered hi-hat percussion. 'Derange' closes this four-tracker with grainy drone echoes and throbbing, sizzling synth pulses.

Adding to Kobosil's full-floor-focussed sonic repertoire 105 shows him from his darkest and most vigorous side yet - this 12' is a brute, in the most positive sense.

Volupso returns with it's 8th release courtesy of Luminer & Topper. Luminer are part of We Play The Music We Love organization based in Turin and have graced the booth with many a great name. Here they provide their production skills with two original tracks with Topper adding some Schoolbus touches to the remix of Nightware.

Goodbye 2017, hello future! Monaberry proudly present their final release of the year with the one and only Upercent. New to the label but no stranger to our record collections, the Valencian artist has made a name for himself over the last few years on labels such as Diynamic, UponYou, Snatch!, Sincopat and Culprit among others with a spell-binding sound that's consistently rich in emotion and hypnotically heavy in weight... A sound that fits the Halle house label perfectly.

Proof is in the listening, 'Fastic' is an eight minute mystical movement that ripples with layers and dynamics. The shimmering percussion, the bluesy guitar twangs, the far-away vocal yearns, the gentle enveloping ebbs and flows with elements of tribal, tech and prog and fat dollops of cosmicity.

'Badarra' flips the groove coin with a much denser bass/kick relationship. Palpitating, pumping and progressively developing momentum element by element, key transition points include the molten chimes, the scattering percussion, the strange humanisations and the black hole breakdown that sucks deep deep deep into the silence before catapulting you back into the insistent pumps and added Spanish strums. Weighing in at almost nine minutes, once again it's an open and shut case of full immersion. And Monaberry wouldn't have it any other way.

Acmé's little brother Third Stream presents a new chapter introducing the very first artists to sign/make their stamp apart of CEO Alex Font who signed the first and second releases.

We are very proud of introducing Incolor and Olivian Nour to our family, with no doubt two of the rising stars of the bouyant romanian minimal-house scene.

Three groover and killer tracks that cover the entire spectrum that goes between house, minimal and techno.

Strictly only vinyl release with JUST 200 copies.

Float Records 5 Year Anniversary is celebrated with a sublime release. Divided in 2 parts we've tried to bring the ultimate Float sound to your table.

After his collaboration with Sóley and múm’s Örvar Smárason for the 2018 LP “Team Dreams”, “Sad Party” sees Sindri Sigfússon take things into his own hands again. As a result of frantic and mostly improvised jam sessions, the nine pop songs are as bittersweet as the title suggests, meandering between Sin Fang’s trademark knack for catchy melodies, rich sonic textures and advanced musical experimentalism. Psychedelic and melancholic at once, it brings Sigfússon’s many different musical facets into a consistent and irresistible flow.

“Sad Party” was recorded by Sigfússon alone over the course of three weeks in an old wooden studio in downtown Reykjavík before it was, like so many Icelandic venues in recent times, closed for good thanks to rising rents. “It had a wonderful view, something most music studios do not have,” says Sigfússon of the place, where he had spent so much time recording, drinking and playing table tennis in the past years. Now he locked himself in for three weeks to throw a very last “Sad Party”. Aiming for the music to be “not too fast and not too slow, not too loud and not too quiet”, the songwriter followed a radical stream of consciousness approach for the lyrics.

Starting with lush and warm drones, the opener “Planet Arfth” sets the mood for Sin Fang’s fifth solo record just perfectly. This is goodbye, the wordless vocals in the background seem to say - but we’re going to make the best of it, counters the slow hip hop groove that takes center stage midway through the track. Soon giving way for slow and funky dream pop sounds (“Hollow”), “Sad Party” slowly picks up speed with intricately built rhythms (“No Summer”), piano-driven power pop (“Smother”) and even IDM-influenced electronica (“Goldenboy Is Sleeping”), before the second half makes the melancholy that comes with a farewell audible. The bitter follows the sweet.

After a wonderfully psychedelic gem (“Happiness”), a hazy midtempo rock ballad (“Never Who I Wanna Be”) and a shimmering downbeat piece that highlights Sigfússon’s abilities as a producer of experimental electronic music (“Cloudjuice”), “Constellation” serves as the perfect coda to the album. With its underwater lo-fi aesthetics and its psychoactive qualities, it ends the album with just the right amount of anthemic ambiguity.

Here’s to old places, new beginnings and, most of all, Sin Fang!

Assembler Code & Jensen Interceptor a dynamic duo you'll never get wrong when it comes to strong and forward thinking dancefloor music.The guys from Australia smash four tracks of strong hitting Electro with a heavy dose of Wave. The floor will be on fire.

After a string of solid releases in recent years, Casey Spillman has decided to launch his very own record label - Temperature.

The imprint kicks off with this 2 track EP featuring the eagerly anticipated track ‘Slow Down’ on the F° Side, meanwhile the C° Side sets a cooler tone with a track entitled ‘Concrete Jungle’.

London artists Ben Gibson and Fundamental Interaction come together as Dyad once more for some blistering techno on their own self-titled label.

Fierce acid and techno cuts by I Murdered, Berlin local Janice and US-born, Berlin-relocated Luis Flores reignite the flame with their hardline second outing and first for Reclaim Your City, 'Blood In Blood Out'. Both schooled under the banner of mind-intrusive techno that packs a punch, the two have forged distinctively wild sound signatures, steering at a distance from weak-kneed raving pose and increasingly unsubstantial trends. As I Murdered, Janice and Luis explore the most severely trenchant facet of their respective universes, immersing their heavy-duty analogue wares through halls of noisey abrasion and further ear-splitting, gut-churning FXs to keep the adrenaline rushing in torrential downpours. Comprised of two originals and a pair of remixes courtesy of boundary-pushing Canadian duo Orphx and Justin Broadrick under his JK Flesh alias, the EP plunges us in a wildly enjoyable kind of nightmarish, dungeon-like scenario. While the title-track makes for some Frankensteinian creature of sorts, electric riffs bringing its dead flesh to life as thunder strikes all over the place, Orphx revamp gives it a more straightforward, acid whip, cutting the raw gem into a further efficient, club-suitable weapon. Flip sides and 'Insomnia' unleashes the rogue, murdering stomp on a harsh EBM/cold wave-infused tip, with JK Flesh flying in on intruder mission for some last ditch heroics, breathing in a healthy dose of hyperventilating vox samples, knee-buckling breaks and face-melting junglistic moves in true Source Direct fashion. 'Blood In Blood Out' will appear as a limited edtion, red on red themed die-cut package with full coloured vinyl and a spot varnished inner sleeve.

Legendary UK outfit Future Sound Of London kicks off with a trippy head jam to soothe the mind of electronic dreamers. Berlin's Monolake aka Robert Henke follows with a beat-driven and heavy industrial piece of clattering sounds and whirring rhythm mechanics. David Morley completes this sixth EP of the 10 years series in style: "Traytor" brims with depth and floaty atmospherics pushed further by low range beat parts. Real endorphin material.

Kevin Foakes (Openmind, DJ Food, Ninja Tune) created all the graphic work. Mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering, pressed on 180 grams vinyl and a separate digital version will be available from the usual digital shops. Stay tuned!

In compiling a remix 12” for the most recent Homemade Weapons LP - Gravity, we approached 2 titans of underground electronic music who have both been supportive of Homemade Weapons and Samurai Music. Donato Dozzy and Tommy Four Seven have each been utilising our releases in their sets and we have been inspired and grateful for their fearless deployment of drum and bass to their predominately Techno audiences.

No stylistic directive or requests were given. We trusted these two gifted artists to interpret the music in their own unique fashion, but in all honesty expected remixes around the techno tempo. What we received back are 2 landmark drum and bass versions that re-define the nexus between Drum and Bass and Techno.

Samurai Music has worked for many years in both Drum and Bass and Techno and constantly explored the middle ground between the two. Many Drum and Bass producers have been releasing their version of this cross over but producers from the Techno sphere coming at Drum and Bass have been fewer and less successful.

Donato’s remix is a poignant reduction that strips Svalsat to a potent shuddering core, splashing grey swatches onto a constant rhythmic build. The maestro’s power of subtle, hypnotic transformation applied to the 170 tempo sculpts the rhythm to searing perfection.

Tommy Four Seven reforms Red Tide into a grinding undulation, a thrusting and propulsive menace with titanium strength breakbeats bulging at the edges of it’s construction.

Nathan Micay (formerly Bwana) steps out under his own name for the first time with a pair of glistening panoramas well-primed for those exultant hours of the early morning. The 12' opens with 'First Casualty', aka *that* track played by Avalon in her Printworks set last year, before heading into deeper territories with 'Beginning Ballads' on the flip. In Nathan's words: "These are without a doubt the most personal tracks I have written to date. I made them as a sort of exercise in self-therapy during my first few months in Berlin. As time has gone on, more meanings have unfolded with each listen. For me, these tracks are a rebuttal to the endless churn of negativity in the news and online. They have become my battle cry in the club, something to mobilize while also offering a chance to escape it all, even briefly."

A1) Sept opens up the EP with the powerful track /'82Chaos Collider/'91. A greasy bassline with a punchy kick connects perfectly with an accompany of delayed vocal loops and dynamically working percussions. All this turns the track into a serious dancefloor weapon.

A2) The second track is a subjective vision of the title track mixed by Setaoc Mass. Mysterious and atmospheric sounds with a well compressed kick and groovy drums - that is what we call the signature style of Manchester born uprising star.

B1) Putting on the B-side you will find an original production by Sept. Stomping kick, eerie sounds and a LFOed main lead - that is what makes Sin Area a good choice for peak time hours.

B2) For the final track on this release, the Berlin based label welcomes Stroboscopic Artefact/'92s Pfirter. His massive off beat interpretation, filled with arcane sounds is dedicated to the challenging music lovers.

Thomas & Tassilo melden sich zurück mit 3 Cuts intensivem Techno, die allesamt die harten, dunklen und psychedelischen Momente wilder Club- und Warehouse-Nächte verkörpern und dennoch ihr Ziel stilistisch und technisch auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise erreichen. "Radio Berlin EP" - ein neues Highlight in der reichhaltigen Diskografie des Berliner Duos.
