Following a jaw-dropping LP on Ghostly International in 2018, multifarious rave authority Tadd Mullinix reanimates his hi-tek junglist guise X-Altera for an EP on Sneaker Social Club. It’s a perfect fit between project and label, as Mullinix exercises his fearsome knowledge and grasp of foundational jungle and drum & bass on an imprint with strong form in the field (from seminal Foul Play works reissued to contemporary cut ups by Dead Man’s Chest, Etch and more).

First Time Lp Reissue From The Original 1985 Master Tapes On 180gr Vinyl. Including Liner Notes. On 'iii Hymne' Houyoux Further Explores The Electronic Instruments He Also Used On 'planètes' Which Results In A Marvelous Album That In Some Way Connects The Dots Between Ambient, Library, Cosmic And Spiritual Music.

Born in Brussels in 2018, Sage Alyte is the brainchild of Roxane Métayer (Disques du chevet, Morc, Krut) and David Jarrín Zabala (Disposición Asoleada, Lexi Disques). In its early days, the duo focused on live performances and the joy of intuitively composing and playing. Dressed in black, with the gravity of hypnotising snakes, they played fiery and enveloping melodies in local squats, cafés and small theatres. Seeking to materialise the fleeting and fascinating phenomena of nature, Sage Alyte has designed a grapevine of visions using a sober array of instruments (violin, banjo, gongs and bird calls) that evoke the scent of stone mortars milling cumin, pepper, cinnamon and herbs, or even those forest rocks that open like hands to dew, to dead leaves and branches that through their interlacing veins reflect starry skies, lights chasing the exact definition of dragonflies, water spiders, beetles, the muzzle of a horse, the shadow of an owl. All eight pieces of the album aim to create new ceremonies and rites and thus edge nearer to traditional music from the Andes or France.

As always with stunning artwork and handmade sleeves!

Time Is Now assembles an all star lineup for the labels first various artist release. The six track ‘allstars’ record features contributors from previous release artists, as well as new label members: Interplanetary Criminal, Soul Mass Transit System, Holloway, Mainphase, Ollie Rant & Wilfy D.

It is the year 2020, a year that addresses our awareness of diversity, tolerance and sustainability in an assorted, socio-cultural way. We translate this demand into music. "Nuthin' But A She Thang" focuses on a marginalised view of instrumental beat music.

This sampler, reflects a cross-section of the international female producer scene: 14 female artists, 8 countries, 4 continents, one language - music! The 14 instrumentals take the listener on a musical journey, which creates a tension between classic sample sound and modern current productions.

The many facets of female beat producing are presented by exclusive contributions by Ainie (DE) o Aygyul (AT) o Courtney Hawkins (US) o Da Chick (PT) o Georgia Anne Muldrow (US) o Gnarly (UK) o Jillesque (US) o Josi Miller (DE) o Julie Schatz (US) o Lisa Vazquez (US) o Sadiva (AUS) o Saltyyyy V (DE) o SOWALL (KOR) o USAGI (JP). Together with Stylefile as a cooperation-partner, we were able to persuade none other than HERA (DE). She implanted an even more artistic approach and added an exclusive artprint to this piece of music.

Our latest Release DDCT003 is in the end not only a musical project, it is a statement, it is an attitude.

The debut EP release from Amduscias (the evil doppelganger of an already known producer) presents a selection of tracks woven with British folklore and occultist connotation taking the fringes of UK bass music into a dark twisted new pasture, bass and beats ready for the dancefloor but equally horrifying to the headphone listener - skewing techno and dubstep to its farthest reaches.

TRUSIK travels eastward again to meet Back to Chill mainstay HELKTRAM whose technoid dubstep constructions have been operating under the radar with just two releases from Banana Stand Sound and Encrypted Audio back in 2016. That is until now.

Sounding like the production line of a steel plant, “Suggestive Effect” gallops with metallic sonics and coilgun snares as the low end ripples and undulates speaker cones apart in its single minded purpose.

“Insecure” fizzes with electromagnetic hum, airlock whispers, clinical atmospherics, and the sonar blips of techno while remaining firmly within the dubstep realm, that is, until midway through when the bassline morphs into something more fluid than the half-time stomp of most dubstep.

Finally, “Iron Box” is a dyed-in-the-wool wobbler. Possessed only by a simple, mindvirus melody, the track lets the sub handle the heavy lifting with the immediately groovy low end science that is within dubstep’s DNA.

Having seen major support from Joe Nice and Goth-Trad across the years, HELKTRAM and Japanese dubstep in general needs more praise for their tireless work in making dubstep a truly global genre. With their eighth release, TRUSIK hopes to expand the record boxes of DJs everywhere and showcase HELKTRAM’s prowess in sub bass science.

Joe Herrick - Dream Reading'Extrapolation Records are proud to present the first record by Joe Herrick, 'Dream Reading'. Comprising of 14 tracks from a vast archive of his material we've been listening to for the last 5 years, the album moves from ambient soundscapes to off kilter hip hop and house, all held together by Herrick's individual use of looping and samples.
Euphoric, psychedelic, paranoid, rugged, claustrophobic all at once, the dream scenarios throughout include a variety of daily work events, journeys to different locations, family matters, sex acts, and encounters with other human individuals, animals, and deities.'

'Middle of the Road Less Travelled' is not only the debut release by Michal Turtle on Light of Other Days, it is also his first new material released since the amazing reissues put out by Music From Memory in recent years. The three tracks on this EP were written and produced by Michal in 2017 with additional production and guitar playing by Light of Other Days' very own HOVE.

The two met back in 2016 when HOVE contacted Michal after he heard the 12' «Are you Psychic» and was blown away. As it turned out Michal was living in Basel which is only a short train ride away by train from the Light of Other Days home base in Zurich. The two started meeting and playing music together. Soon after, they put together a live-show for Michal's music which had its debut show at Phono Festival in Denmark in 2017. During this time, they started working on new music together as well. The result is this EP.

The music on 'Middle of the Road Less Travelled' is a continuation of Michal's musical exploration into other-worldly territory. Michal is a master in building hypnotic textures from repetitive rhythms that collide with trippy and atmospheric synthesizers. The delayed and dubby guitar lines by HOVE were recorded during rehearsal sessions in Michal's living room in Basel and the last track of the EP 'Agallo (Real)' ends with vocals performed by Lucianne Lassalle. Besides playing in local bands with Michal back in the 80s, Lucianne also performed and co- wrote early Michal Turtle tracks like 'Phantoms of Dreamland' or 'Village Voice' from his first record 'Music from the Living Room'.

Physical Therapy for Exotic Dance with this first volume of shamanic workout material made between 2014 and 2017. These are deliriously entrancing and exquisitely produced tracks, expertly engineered to keep the floor moving.

This mysterious duo (Sasin) was formed via a stroke of chance in a basement record store in Detroit.
Recorded over a three day period at a mountain side studio in Oakland California, this is the first e.p. in a 4 part series from those sessions.

Dance floor tested, Subwoofer approved.

This is the next positive Dance Sacred Experience!

Optimistic, whimsical broken funk experiments, from Wo Land impresario Mass Prod. Held together with a distorted metallic sensibility.

"Earquake could not be a more representative album for Mass Prod, following his debut album 'Aqwa' on Further Records and his remix for Lukid on Werkdiscs.

'Sqweltch' opens with a robust breakbeat marching over waves of metallic hisses. It forecasts the menacing sonic depths touched on throughout the album.
The rigid post-industrial aesthetic of the first track turns playful with 'Membrane', characterized by funk samples and a roaring synth line.
In 'Loculo' the dramatic intensification of feelings and the main theme are reminiscent of a John Carpenter-like urban set.
'Cimice' sets the scene of a warfare between a two-step rhythm and percussive gun-shots, both overseen by IDM style synth harmonics.
'Spazio Taglio' moves further into the field of concrète / experimentation. The delays and echo effects on the articulated drum patterns provide an hypnotic, yet bewildering perception to the listener.
The electronic warfare of 'Cimice' comes back on 'Lupi', a stream of beats and frequencies chased by Atari / early Rave melodies, before getting lost in a universe of data.
'Perdido Key' sweetens things up, lifting the listener to a heavenly state. Renaissance musical themes take over, leaving the stretched up hats as a mere background accompaniment.
'Innerarity Island' is an irresistible futuristic afro-funk composition, charming, sensual, as stimulating as virtual sex can go.
The closing track, 'Sam it`s a Cool Spider', returns to a rarefied, abstract setting, again dipping into the harmonics of metallic sound frequencies, perfectly interacting with the distant reflections of the previous Renaissance motifs."

"Odeyalo" is a Russian word that means "blanket". This blanket is made from many rags. It's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins, but the main thing is that you can cover yourself with this blanket.

Foresteppe is the musical project by Egor Klochikhin, artist and history teacher from Russia. Foresteppe's music is a constant experiment with the sounds of tape cassettes, acoustic instruments, field recordings and electronics. Detailed sound collages by foresteppe explore the space of history and memory, as well as the themes of nostalgia and trauma.

"Odeyalo" has been played live with ten cassette tape players and several dozens of cassette tape loops in June – September, 2019 in Vyksa, St.Petersburg, Moscow, Brussels, Tomsk oblast, Novosibirsk and Berdsk.

The 803 Crystal Grooves Collective cuts label was launched in 2019 by Cinthie as a platform for material from her collective of friends and producers she admires.
The project was launched with a four-track VA featuring S3A, 9th House, KETTAMA and Asquith and here we see two new additions to the roster in the shape of France
Anaxander and Azuni aka Washerman.

Colours of Infinity is a new alias for Melbourne based producer Andy Donnelly. His debut album follows a recent sold out split 12" on Brokntoys offshoot, Discos Del Quebranto, as well as a string of releases as Kloke on labels including Styles Upon Styles and Sub Squared.

Under his latest moniker, Donnelly has axed the dense, sample-heavy hardcore continuum he is best known for and developed a more back to basics approach, using old, cheap hardware and primitive recording techniques to capture performances in the spirit of 70s bands such as Cluster, early Tangerine Dream and latter day artists like Ekoplekz and Pye Corner Audio.

The results are 11 tracks that draw on the shared anxieties and dystopian moods of 2017 to offer a narrative of a future in which civilisation has decayed at our own hand and yet, among the rubble, a growing signal of optimism can be detected from the genesis of the machines.

RIYL: Cluster, Harmonia, Tangerine Dream Ekoplekz, Pye Corner Audio, John Carpenter, Carl Craig

One time pressing, strictly limited to 300 copies.

Mastered by Simon Davey @ The Exchange Vinyl in his converted bank vault.

Tape / Cassette

"Like water drops, gently hovering, slowly bursting one by one, reassembling themselves simultaneously." An imagery that shaped this shining debut album "klondike" by hanisii - a mysteriously operating artist who has been flying under the radar for half a decade now yet scattering some highly unique re-interpretations via Soundcloud.

After a no-contact-no-contract-deal with Rico Puestel about remixing and editing his music back in 2016 and 2017 (working out both stunningly and skillfully), it took three years until this album at hand emerged out of the blue. Adapted to the circumstances, Rico Puestel constructed a way of presenting this specialty item appropriately on his large-scale project "Time In The Special Practice Of Relativity": A "slight bit" beyond the usual, showcasing the entire album on a limited cassette tape together with an exclusive SD card, carrying its digital audio version + bonus material.

As one might cynically state that God created music, the devil the ones writing about it, it feels right to keep it short and simple about the album itself here: Setting the scene itself with an intro and outro of genuine beauty (letting even an old broadcasting signal sound like those multifarious water drops of elegancy), everything in between profoundly passes through the depths of electronic onomatopoeia in nine diverse yet coherent and organic shapes, melting the groovy energy of House music with a pervasive serenity and clearness of Techno aesthetics.

While "klondike" allows itself to only raise the singular claim of wanting to get listened to, the scent of a future classic might be floating around the ether...

Lunch Money Is A New Breed Of Psychedelic Jazz. Adventurous Compositions That Keep Both Body And Mind Fully Engaged, The Music Juxtaposes Expansive Textures With Off-kilter Hooks And Rhythms. Deep Basslines Rub Shoulders With Angular Post-punk Guitar Riffs, Floating Synths And Horns, All Blending Onto A Head Nodding Syncopated Drum Beat. A Heady Brew Of Dilla, Davis And Kraut Marks The Arrival Of London's Newest Jazz Deviants.

The Run Of 300 7" Singles Will Be The First Release From New Label None More Records. The Record Will Also Be Available Digitally.

Jam Dem Sounds, a new label by CMYK, will keep a solid foot on the dancefloor, while also exploring unconventional grooves and dipping into home-listening music.

Its first EP by upcoming artist Ease Up George reflects this ethos. While the main tracks focus on stripped-down & dubby UKG, the EP then moves into a catchy footwork number and a spaced-out dub reggae track.

The pressing is strictly limited, and the records will come as hand-stamped white labels packaged in a recycled paper sleeve.

Detroit composer John Beltran returns to Delsin with The Season Series. A collection of subtle and colorful compositions of beautiful synth melodies creating heavenly atmospheres. A blissful walk through breezy spring fields where the gentle sunrays thaw frosty winter scenes.

Limited pressing of 200 copies..

2x12" 180g Black Vinyl

Pivotal UK producer Kirk Degiorgio returns to De:tuned for his first new and highly anticipated As One studio album in 15 years. "Communion" covers a broad sonic palette, ranging from jazz and hi-tech funk dancefloor beats to minor-chord symphonies, all coming together "As One". A trademark 90s electronica sound shifting between the mind, body and soul, produced and recorded with Kirk's 25 years of studio work experience.

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

R&S welcome electronic composer Matthew Puffett AKA Future Beat Alliance with his killer single ’Never Forever’ a sublime slice of broken beat techno that originally had a limited release on his “Patience and Distance” album in 2009. It now comes backed with a first rate remix courtesy of R&S regular Afriqua.

A veteran of the UK electronic scene originally from Oxford but now located in Berlin, Puffett made his name in the late 90s with a string of sought after releases on Void Records under the aliases Mode-M and Soul Electrik before settling on the Future Beat Alliance handle. Notching up releases with the likes of Delsin, Rush Hour and Versatile as well as with the storied Tresor imprint, both as a DJ and an artist. In 2019 Matt started his new imprint Reward System to self release new creations.

Life long friend from Oxford, Mo’ Wax and Unkle maestro James Lavelle reached out in 2012, which led to a further creative chapter in Puffett`s story that culminated with him co-writing & programming on Unkle’s 5th studio album ’The Road Part 1’ as well as some singular work in film and television. “The moving image plays a key creative motive in my process,” Matthew explains. “Sound & picture married together is such a powerful combination that always inspires me every time to make my own version, 'Never Forever' is one of my many attempts to try and
capture that.”

Taking cues from modern cinema masters like Denis Villeneuve, Panos Cosmatos, Steven Soderberg and Jonathon Glazer and their respective composers, Puffett's widescreen sonic craftsmanship alongside his irresistible rhythmic sense are a key part of what makes Future Beat Alliance music so alluring; "I want my tracks to guide the listener on a exit route far from this world”

Lezat makes its debut on Fill-Lex Records, with its first long, 7 beautiful songs that ride between a mixture of minimalistic progressive krautrock, synth-pop with futuristic melodies full of emotion, and a minimalsynth with many subtle nuances.

Manu Pérez is the only member of Lezat. His involvement with music began at the early age of nine when he bought his first vinyl, the first Soft Cell album. It is the era of New Wave and Technopop and the sounds of synthesizers are deeply embedded in him. In 1990 he forms as a guitarist his first Pop group influenced by the Shoegaze. He goes through several bands until 2009 when he decides to return to the origins and undertake a solo project. He buys analogical synthesizers and begins to compose the ones that will become Lezat's instrumental songs with which he debuts in 2011 in a live show in his hometown, Valencia.

His love for photography and audiovisuals leads him to be on the other side of the stage for some years as a music press photographer, and to accompany some of his songs by timelapse projections of his own production.
Lezat is the name of a mountain in the French Pyrenees.
