All Vinyl New Releases - News

There is a sixth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of deep bass and the summit of treble. This is the dimension of vibrations. It is an area where we find JoeFarr, MOERBECK, Patrick DSP, Oliver Rosemann & Axel Sohn, Scalameriya, Woody McBride, Dj Ze Migl, and Paul Birken, but within this project call "Eternal Darkness of the Spotless Mindcut

Here we are for the 4th round of Apparel Wax and a crazy one indeed for all the lovers of the vinyl masked man, a release that expresses 4 different nuances of House. Few words are needed to describe the debut of the vinyl with A1 track which is a rarely powerful combination of 2.0 Dance Music and 80's vibes, a proper slap in the face to kick it off! Our unknown DJ then shifts to a more sensual mode with A2, where funky guitar shades and smooth chords blended with the vocals that drag us on a more intimate level of listening to keep on traveling on a lower tone. B side starts with a track guided by weaving Jazzy rhythmics dialoguing hectically with Samba and some jungle environmental recordings, creating a super personal interpretation of Brazilian Jazzy House, while to end up the 4th trip on Wax Planet, B2 blesses us with some more classic vibes with a sharp string's melody and a rich bassline guided silently by a Rhodes piano and some pungent and melancholic female vocals, to end it up in style.

Cocoon Recordings presents: R!

Includes a set of 6x12' exclusive fluorescent vinyl records which glow in the dark and create a "magical' effect while played in club.

Techno in 2018 and Cocoon Recordings in 2018: What on earth is left when everything has already been said, done, produced, sampled and triggered, then revisited and re-imagined once again for good measure - and all that, knowing full well the wheel can't actually be reinvented... but hang on a second, isn't that exactly the point Isn't that the real core of this music It just keeps on turning like a great, infinite wheel!

The revolution in sound, that magical moment at the very beginning is now, admittedly, a distant memory. To this day however, the origins of the movement reappear time and again as stylistic features in current productions. The uncompromising, distorted rhythms of Detroit, the euphoria of UK Acid House and the subsequent 'Second Summer of Love' or the magical "Bring Down The Walls" vibe of Germany's post-reunification years which still shapes the Berlin scene today, not forgetting of course, the Hessian excess of the Techno-freaks from Frankfurt.... all this has very little to do with contemporary Techno. The meaningful element of this music, the true core of quality techno lies in itself, not in what once was or where it came from. That's exactly why this music still works, even for those who have been on the bus from day one.

In the meantime, the wheel has turned so far that every conceivable genre has been defined and then packed full of memorable moments. Techno, Minimal, House, Tech House, Deep House, Electro, EDM, Acid etc, etc, etc. Names, styles, references... it's all smoke and mirrors. Yes, they certainly help us to categorise a track on first listening, but it's listening to the music, dancing to it and simply letting it be that's by far the most important thing. Society as a reflection of cultural development shows us where persistent labelling can lead. Left, right, up, down, all this ultimately leads us to lose sight of what's really important. Music and dancing connect people, overcome language barriers, skin colours and national borders and we have to start looking at our music in this light. Almost 30 years after the Second Summer Of Love, it's time to classify our music not by origin and category, but by the feelings it triggers and how it works.

Which brings us to Cocoon Recordings and above all to Cocoon Head Sven Väth, who demands exactly this from himself and "his" music. Few other DJs embody the ability to "think outside the box" like Frankfurt's honorary citizen, whether he's dropping Sade's version of "Why Can't We Live Together" to close out the night or ushering in Monday morning with the Bangles' "Just Another Manic Monday". Of course Sven and Cocoon are also synonymous with Techno, nevertheless we should look back over the last few years of Cocoon Recordings with great pride and recognise that strict style guidelines and exaggerated pigeonholing no longer apply. It's especially true for the compilation series, which having now reached the letter R(ecordings), impressively shows the arc the Frankfurt label's output continues to span. From soft and melodic with a lot of depth to highly functional and extremely crisp - there's a creative range on offer that very few labels can boast.

"I listen to and play everything that I like and that touches me. I always pack a genre-spanning record bag, I'm particularly interested in those special tracks - that's exactly how my vision of Cocoon Recordings is about!" (Sven Väth)

The current compilation "R" not only continues this idea, it is a prime example of the label's philosophy. The illustrious circle of artists on the latest compilation is peppered with such prominent names as Isoleé, Lusine, Pig&Dan, Inigo Kennedy, Ambivalent & Alden Tyrell, ROD and Mano Le Tough. Label representative and Frankfurt original Ingo Boss is once again on board and with contributions from International Anything, John Heckle, Cristi Cons and Eduardo De La Calle, promising new faces from further afield are also represented. Of course, all this doesn't say much about the actual content, but that's exactly what it's about. Known vs. unknown, origins, discography etc, it's not important on this LP-Box. Cocoon Recordings delivers what the label stands for and what it does best: promoting new artists, bringing celebrity names on board and above all, not building any musical walls either on or off the dancefloor. With releases like this, it's clear to us that the journey is ongoing and the wheel will continue to spin. All we have to do is join in and stop trying to label everything we don't know and put it in a box. Our music isn't new anymore, but it remains great and has the energy to connect us, no matter what category or subcategory it belongs to.

That's enough talk for now... "Go out and start dancing!" (Franz Beckenbauer)

Off welcomes Hybrasil, following up on his releases on labels like Intacto, Break New Soil and Kraftek.

The EP kicks off with "Kapteyne", a dubby bigroom roller.

ONNO takes things slightly deeper with his remix, adapting the track towards the earlier or later hours of the night.

Also "ED209" has an afterhours-ish feel to it with its spacy and dark atmosphere.

"Tau Ceti" rounds off the EP with a more melodic and emotional offering.

Jon Dixon, member of Underground Resistance's live band Timeline, pays tribute to legendary Detroit jazz trumpeter Marcus Belgrave. The EP features Belgrave himself (recorded before his passing in 2015), alongside additional contributions from Detroit musicians: UR/Timeline's Mike Banks & saxophonist De'Sean Jones, and jazz trumpeter, composer & educator Kris Johnson.

repress

Finally Repressed!

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Ravage are happy to announce that rising Dutch talent, Daniel te Boekhorst aka INDUCTION, will take centre stage as the first artist to release on the label with 'Liturgical Hymns', the first in our Ravage White Series.Surrounded by music in his youth and having learned piano at an early age, Induction's play things were eventually set aside and replaced by his fathers analogue hardware and synthesizers. It was in the blood. His sound A heady concoction of electronica that ranges from deep, melodic and groovy to more urgent and harder realms.A fresh face and name for the scene but one that is destined for great things, all starting right here with RWS001 - 'Liturgical Hymns'.
Track description: The EP comes to life with 'Epitrachelion', its gradual beginnings, packed with minor tonal atmosphere and estranged melody - seep into earshot, a cosmic transmission that grows in intensity with each bar. With progressive synth lines crossing paths with the melodies, this beat-less ascension into futurist electronica radiates and warms the listener as it prepares for it's next transmission. Autocephalous Signs, meanwhile, couldn't be further from the collections humble, gentle beginnings; this beats awakens with a solid, pounding kick drum, while more delicate, glassy synth melodies are carefully juxtaposed with an unrelenting machine rhythm, evoking the spirit of early Jeff Mills and his intersection between man and machine. Analogue, dusty and muscular, it's a hypnotic blast that remains unrelenting to it's very last note. On the flip, The Profit of My Sense brings chiming melodies that dip and trough around interwoven double time beats, pumped up and given stamina by a solid, bass loaded kick drum. Further down the line, 'Astronomical Spectra' is informed by a melody driven rhythm, doused and coated in acid techno bleeps and strains, while clapping 808's create layer upon layer of groove and rhythm, while each part is stacked on top of one another in a metronomic template, reproducing memories of Robert Hood's Minimal Nation in the process. Wrapping up this promising EP comes Theological Explanation, an electro-popping track that pounds with life as a flanged bassline oscillates into the fold, while synth riffs and organ stabs build up the intensity, released gradually as break-beats and vocal chants are woven into the mix, creatinga dynamic and multi tempo finishing cut for this outer-worldly EP.

This release by Matrixxman & Echologist showcases sturdy Techno rhythms that have happened when these two stalwarts got into the studio together. Acidic tones, thumping bass drums and adventurous FX sweeps. From rhythm driven Techno cuts to the more oddball bits, ''The Black & White EP'' proves to be a versatile yet energetic package.

Minialbum EP + Insert CD
An Ardent Heart is a focused techno mini album that brings forward Stefan Goldmann's most dancefloor-centered material in a decade. The tracks push and pull relentlessly. Despite their linear appeal, there is an intricately balanced interplay between the heavy-handed kicks, the bouncy bass accents and the sizzling, yet clear-cut details whipped up by the rallying drums. The peculiar, seemingly 'vocalised' mode of synthesis is maybe the most unifying sonic characteristic of the six tracks and one coda. Formant shaping, vowel filters and airstream perturbations let a wide range of sounding elements speak in the tongues of a cybernetic Babylon. Layered polymetric patterns perforate the aural plane with alien scripts. Clearly structured, yet opaque messages that seem to have traveled for aeons emanate from the red-hot circuitry. They spill into a network of delays, channeled down into labyrinthine corridors, enveloped in electrostatic noise. Most tracks build on chance patterns evoked with hardware sequencers and freeform modulation sources. The resulting synthetic systems are as cohesive as they exhibit vast internal variation and range. Thus balancing simplicity and complexity right in the middle, the results are just as immediately gripping as they can feed sustained attention. A wide palette of distortion and overtones mark the contours of individual elements that seem to have near-physical qualities - as if there were metallic strings, thick membranes, a resonating sphere, all struck by electric mallets, caused to vibrate by mechanical bows and sung by silicone lips.

The 3rd Release on Alma Negra Records is dedicated to the music of Eritrea, a small (in African terms, that is) country nestled in between Sudan and Ethopia on the south end of the Red Sea. Drawing from its native spiritual roots as well as the christian and islamic influences of conquering factions, this multiethnical country is home to an amazingly diverse plethora of cultures and musical styles.

On this EP, we are happy to showcase the music of the Saho People from the Region of Zula, which is located in between the coastal lowlands close to the Dahlak archipelago. The word "Saho" roughly translates (translated) as "Nomad", pointing towards a lifestyle where tradition and culture is being passed on orally over generations.
The exact source for these edits of the Saho Sound are thus lost to the murky depths of history, as they are based on traditional folksongs.
With kind permission of Colophon Records, we were able to work on this great Material and are now very happy to shed some light onto the wonderful music of this region and its people!

A-Side : Alma Negra - Haleto lale lalô (Saho)
Complete with that global clarion call of partying it up, the ululate trill (google it), this is again a call & response vocal pattern, seemingly at odds with the somber backing track. Exploring a deeper, jazzier mood, we added moody piano chords and a balafon, with a subtle but big bassline and some hefty 808-thud holding everything together.

B-Side : SOL - Erytrea Nèdègé (Saho)
The B-side packs a previously unreleased edit of the band SOL. They gave us this tune two years ago and it has ignited dancefloors between Belgium and Croatia since, so we are proud to finally release this beauty to the world. A minimalist percussive belter, driven along by an eerie vocal-loop, until a male vocal introduces the main melody that eventually bursts into a full call & response chant with a female choir.
Never underestimate the power-combo of nothing but drums and vocals. No more words needed, feel for yourself.

time Get Physical associate. Werk It features three more thrilling cuts which prove that, after more than a decade in the game, Thomas Koch is as exciting an artist as ever. The last two years have seen DJ T. put out a couple of great offerings on this label as well as an EP on Truesoul and some limited edition anniversary cuts on Strictly Rhythm. The occasional music writer and Groove Magazine founder has been busy in the booth, too, continuing to headline from Berlin to Russia and plot journeys through the history of house as he goes. Opening the account is the amped-up 'Werk It,' a poly-rhythmic tech cut that encourages you to loosen your limbs as drums, bass and tumbling percussion all jostle out a groove. Riffing vocals add fuel to the fire and clever bass kills add real dynamism. Then comes 'The Pressure', a rich house tune with drums that skip and skate along. Dry hits bring some funk, more well-treated, dehumanised vocals from Johannesburg based slam poet and DFTD and Diynamic associate Lazarusman add another layer to lock onto, while neon chord stabs ensure the whole thing will energise any dance floor. Last but not least, this fine trio of tunes ends with 'On and On', the most elastic of the lot. Big and icy hi hats bring a sense of height as rubbery drums bobble down low and build to a steamy peak before the pressure is released with a big vocal cry which cannot fail to get ravers punching the air. A real dance music historian, T. puts all his years of experience to great use in this latest and greatest release on Moon Harbour.

A big shout out to Terminal M novice Noir who delivers two tracks for Monika Kruse's imprint which can't be more different. 'Perservere' features HRRSN on the mic and is a straight festival techno banger while 'Lost & Broken' with singer Hendrik Burkhard (known for his tracks with Florian Kruse) might be the ideal sunrise sound. In which mood are you

Cabala returns with it's 2nd installment courtesy of Rasna Luji, he delivers two original tracks from his new alta ego, Microhouse & House are the flavours of the EP and each track is accompanied by a remix , Jamie Lie A Kwie & Jamahr are in control for Rasna on this release.

Counter Pulse is proud to present the 'The Dish' EP which is the first collaboration of two of Australia's most passionate techno talents, Advanced Human & Trinity.

The duo have delivered two hard-edged dance-floor cuts for this release. First track 'The Dish' is a hypnotic banger with a raw warehouse energy anchored by no-nonsense 4/4 drums. The 2nd track 'Splinter' locks you into a groove with minimal industrial textures and dark dub-focused stabs.

This EP also includes impressive remixes by scene stalwarts Headless Horseman and Mary Velo.

Headless Horseman contributed an explosive remix of 'The Dish' which takes us down a sinister wormhole with the dance floor in mind. Headless Horseman is known for making raw and abrasive dark techno and is one of the most talked-about techno artists of recent years. Having predominately on his own label, we are very fortunate to have this very rare remix from him on the EP.

The Toronto-born, Berlin-based artist Mary Velo is no stranger to the Elektrax family making her 12'-debut on Gynoid Audio with her 'Master Mind' EP. She has also released music on esteemed labels such as Semantica and Diffuse Reality and also performs in highly respected clubs such as Berghain and Tresor. Mary's stripped back version of 'Splinter' takes the track in a deeper direction, a slow burner laced with flowing atmospherics and melodic overtones.

last copies of limited color vinyl 1st pressing !!!

First new Cirez D track of 2017 'The Accuser', known originally to fans as 'Satan ID' this darker tech release is fast becoming a monster.Also on the flip we have the brand new Pryda remix of ' On Off', the original version was release back in back into 2009 but is now back with a vengeance. Ltd edition blue vinyl, get it while you can!

Having been staples of his DJ sets over the past few months Morning fnally sees release on Redlight Music. Berlin-based label boss Denite delivers 2 tech-house killers alongside 1 remix from Italian duoNICe7 and 1 special edit.
Title-track Morning opens up proceedings Redlight Music's 46th release. The catchy and groovy tech house bomb sees a cheeky keyboard melody drive the track forward with groovy percussions, vocal samples and a strong bass line following in tow.
Second original track Sundance sees Denite go on a deeper house trip. Energetic percussion work grooves alongside a deep, electric bass while horns round off the edges of the track. Next up is Italian tag-team NICe7 (Noir Music / D-Floor) who remix Sundance. The duo offer up their acid-house vision of the original track with an evolving acid-soaked bass loop and shuffing drums.
The MEED Edit of Morning closes the record. Recorded live and on the spot by Denite during his performance at MEED Festival in Elche (Spain), we hear Denite deconstructing the track with a slowed-down beat and slurring keyboards. The essence of the original track is kept well and alive, but covered in a lightly
spaced-out electronica veil. Morning is set for a digital and vinyl release March 19th on Redlight Music.

Detour EP is the result after a year of intense studio time and experimentation of a new set up. In these last 12 months there was a slight shift in Pitral's productions, with new hardware providing more edginess and raw acidic techno sounds.

This 12 inch is the result of that new musical signature. 'Detour' original is focused on a strong acid baseline with simultaneously overflowing tune. Voices from 'from the depth of the soul' with 'deep and hard' kicks make for a raw, melodramatic track.

'Meatsuit' builds up steadily, with a mid high rolling kick, lifting up towards off tune strings and a hypnotic leads. In this track Derek develops soundscapes full of dynamics and depths.

On the flipside, Björn Torwellen has remixed 'Detour' and Leghau remixes the second track 'Meatsuit'.

Very successful in the pre-release campaign already with great support from Josh Wink, Cari Lekebusch, The Black Dog, Advanced Human, Kangding Ray, 2000 And One, Patrick Pulsinger, Luigi Madonna, Gregor Tresher, Marco Bailey, Answer Code Request, Abstract Division, Slam, Axel Karakasis, Dj Carlio Lio, Ron Costa, amongst others.

Third installment for the Orbitr Vinyl Series.

It's the third album on our label and this time we grabbed on the other side of the ocean! The mexican techno native Israel Toledo, who lives these days in Germany, is the man of now and gives us full-on electricity with - 9 Volts . Being effective with less is the formula which works definitely the most. So let's have a short view on Israel: the fundament of his works were done by launching his own techno imprint Assasin Soldier Recordings in 2005 and releasing since more than one decade. Featuring lots of the mexicans underground music producers has gained a proper standing in many of the heavy-weight-players record cases.

The simplicity of the track names reflects the saying that techno music doesn't need any words to communicate, so here we go with V1 (Volt 1) to V8. All tracks are designed by analogue machines and literally - made of steel , therefore it's reasonably pressed on wax. The central themes are spheres and chords in various moods on pounding beats.

The start is something for the epic moments. V1 floats and flies on a sweet-sounding sphere, holds a warm appearance and can be called a real anthem. In the forthcoming tracks, he draws more dusky worlds and builds industrialized shapes and landscapes with rough chords. He varies with tensions in V2 and V3, soaring rhythms for V4 or creaking basses in V5 with timeless synth hooks, as well as a deep and dubby flavour for V6. Number 7 is definitely a peaktime ruler and the last one V8 for the atmosphere in the morning hours.

On top and that's why it's all about 9 Volts, label master Dominik Vaillant will release digitally the ninth piece of this album - it's a remix of V1!

It's time to invite some New Kids' onto the block as Jammhot come very correct with a 4 tracker of what can only be described as Lush' House Music. The EP is a collection of deep, swinging analogue grooves with both feet firmly planted in the Real House Music' sound.

The production duo who are split between both Leeds and London and currently hold a residency with Ape X in Newcastle have previously released on labels like Dirtcrew, Leftroom and fellow rEJEKT favorite Jamie Trench's Root For Bloom imprint.

As you have quite rightly come to expect, this is a release of high quality productions. We set up our label to do things properly! In a world where music has become so throwaway, we strive to have an output that stands the test of time. . Otherwise . . Seriously what's the point

On the remix front we've drafted in the Jedi master that is Dudley Strangeways (Ovum / Holic Trax) known for his tight stripped back productions, his mix offers a deeper, more sparce interpretation to the fuller sounding original and the fact that Dudley is a mastering engineer himself means that he's bang on our level when it comes to the quest for perfection.

- Dieser magische Moment... Genau darum geht es.'
(Anthony Rother über Verbalizer)

Kein Platz für lähmende Gedanken. Stattdessen gibt es nur noch Musik. Der Körper gehorcht allein dem durch den Raum ulsierenden Bass. Das ist es, wovon Raver sprechen, wenn sie erklären, was ihnen synthetische Club-Musik bedeutet.
Und genau darum dreht sich auch Verbalizer, das nun erscheinende Album von Anthony Rother, auf seinem neuen Label Nextdata.

Der Club als abstrakter Raum. Es geht um das Loslassen. Menschen machen sich frei, begegnen einander
und die Musik wird zum gemeinsamen Taktgeber.

Irgendwann nennt Rother diesen Prozess - die Dramaturgie der Ekstase', kann sich dabei aber das Grinsen
nicht verkneifen. - Die Leute sollen mit Verbalizer einfach ihren Spaß haben. Ich stand im Club und fühlte
plötzlich den Sound für dieses Album.

Verbalizer treibt im Raum nach vorn, ohne ins Intellektuelle abzugleiten. Es ist die Geschichte, der Augenblick und das anbrechende Abenteuer einer tanzenden Gesellschaft, irgendwo auf dieser Welt.
- Ich war auf der Suche nach einem expandierenden Klang. Dabei war wichtig, wie ich diesen Sound den Synthesizern in meinem Studio entlocke, so dass dabei eine Kraft entsteht, die alles Weltliche und den Alltag beiseite zu drücken vermag', erklärt Rother den hedonistischen Ansatz von Verbalizer.

Club-Tracks wie diese kommen ihrem Wesen nach ohne erzählerische Inhalte aus. Dennoch sorgen sie
beim Hörer für das Durchleben - oder besser für das Durchtanzen - ihrer ganz eigenen Geschichte. - Einige meiner vorherigen Alben haben ein komplex durchdachtes Konzept. Verbalizer wechselt
dagegen vollkommen die Perspektive: Der Inhalt und was sich aus dem Album ergibt liegt im Körperlichen, dem unaussprechlichen.'
Um es also kurz zu machen: Verbalizer - um zu verstehen, sollte
man das Album feiern.

Dominick Martin aka Calibre is responsible for some of the most beautiful and sublime tracks in drum & bass. Releasing on the most distinguished labels, including his own 'Signature Recordings', Calibre's distinctive sound has progressed taking on elements of jazz, funk, dub and techno whilst losing none of its soul.

Brian O'Sullivan aka Jet Li first cut his teeth on the decks in the late 80's mixing Reggae, Hip Hop & Hardcore in his remote island of Valentia, off the West of Ireland. His first introduction into drum and bass and jungle came in the early 90s's when he moved to Manchester.

Returning to Ireland he began promoting drum & bass nights and by 2002 envisioned the hugely successful drum & bass festival, 'Jungle Republic', the first of its kind in Ireland, which he co-promoted with Dj Source & Bassbin Records.

His first production surfaced in 2004 for BBC1xtra's, ' Xtrabass Compilation'. More followed on Nu Urban and he continued releasing on, 'phase2recordings' which featured a track from Calibre.

Jet Li & Calibre come from opposite ends of Ireland. Their love of Drum & Bass would have them meet often and their friendship grew. Having played alongside each other over the years in Ireland & Europe, their mutual appreciation led to them collaborating in 2016, ending in the completion of 6 tunes.

Their first release together will be out on Function Records in July 2018.

After more than one year, Marvin Zeyss is at it again with his 4th release on his own series. This one is coming with a fresh sound and functional touch to it. Delievering 4 exquisite tunes brought to you via vinyl only. Be fast and enjoy, as usual when it's gone - it's gone!

Bikiniarz is the newly launched imprint of German producer Sawlin, known for his seminal releases on Delsin Records and Vault Series. With this label, Sawlin goes back to his musical roots while integrating the various influences that shaped his style ever since he decided to become a musician: subtly indebted to the 90's while living up to contemporary big room standards. The releases are resolutely out of the box, yet groovy as hell and meant to be played out loud in underground techno clubs.
