Acid, Breakbeat, Electro, Techno ... For its fifth year of life, art-aud's Secret Rave celebrates with a triple 12'' compilation, but now available as a split release! It embodies the essence of the series through 15 tracks produced by nearby (and far way) artists and friends.

Pivotal Parisian producer D.K. pays sublime tribute to ancient Vietnamese spirit possession ritual, Hau Dong, on a fresh first vinyl edition of his 2019 cassette for Good Morning Tapes Arriving in the wake of GMT’s prized vinyl editions from Jonnine (HTRK), XVARR, Tapes and more, he Goddess Is Dancing’ is a 40 minute trip that revolves around a handful of pieces of lilting, thmelodic percussion and aqueous atmosphere expressing D.K.’s imaginary interpretation
of music used in Vietnamese ritual music. It unfolds as a ceremony in five parts honouring the mystical goddesses of Forest, Water and Heaven, with music both relaxing and energising in a way that’s intended to aid dancers’ transmogrification from human vessels into spirited beings.
The results are some of D.K.’s lushest in a catalogue that now stretches back to 2014 and takes in a clutch of albums, EPs and singles spanning mystic club music and sanguine home listening for everyone from Antinote to Melody As Truth and 12th Isle. In careful progression, the EP progresses from the deliquescent shimmers and breathy choral synth spirits of ‘The Three Realms’ to the exquisitely poised dream motion of the title song and the hypnotic percolations of ‘Going Into Trance’ on the A-side, before stretching out on the B-side into slow, balmy elegance of ‘Forest
Palace’, and ultimately dissolving any remaining tensions with the dematerialised design of ’Summoning The Spirits’.
In a current field awash with new age ambient references and a searching sense of spirituality, D.K.’s offering is exceptional for the execution of its never cloying, timelessly enchanted appeal.

AKO Beatz is happy to have DJ Future deliver a serious 4 track ep. DJ Future pulls no punches on this release and also teams up with Eric Electric.

Following his two-track, debut vinyl release with Youngsta's Sentry Release, on top of a slew of prior, hard-hitting free downloads, Gramz makes his official
introduction into the Crucial Recordings family. Taking a hard left turn into the more aggressive, distorted and experimental territory of the dubstep genre, Gramz's well-crafted output is known best for infusing dance floors with undeniable attitude and furious energy. With a heavy emphasis on flowing hip-hop beats and an inherent drive for forward-facing sound design,
Gramz constantly sports an innovative, assaulting swag that can't be matched or duplicated. Offering an unconventional
yet highly welcomed addition to bass music's overall perspective, Gramz entices listeners with detuned and distorted textures,
loose drums, unfamiliar bassweight structures, bouncing grooves and weighty sub pressure.

Standing as the introduction to Gramz's Crucial release Jokin Get Them Bags Jokin slowly and unassumingly unfolds with a mushroom cloud of bass and swaying beats. However, the sonic tides change in an instant as the tune silences and then quickly escalates by unleashing a fit of true sound system damage led by seething midrange might. A true dance floor detinator.
CRUCIAL019s b-side Get Them Bags utilizes the impact of clever vocal work, low frequencies and sparse yet effective instrumentation to convey sophisticated, low frequency conviction. Offering itself a refreshing culmination to the release,
Get Them Bags proves the genuine power of intelligent restraint and an understated approach to bass music production.

GRIDLOK SWITCHES UP THE GAME ONCE AGAIN WITH HARD-HITTING NEW ALBUM ON BLACKOUT

'A staple in the American Drum and Bass scene' - COMPLEX
'One of the true stalwarts of US dnb' - BROKEN CULTURE

A strong staple in the drum and bass scene for over a decade, Gridlok is no stranger to whipping up heavy, power-fuelled tracks guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Ready to cause more chaos with a fresh spin on his trademark concoction of hard-hitting drums and driving basslines, Gridlok now gears up to unleash 13 face-melting new tracks on his new Z3R0 H0U2 LP.

Gridlok has been heading up his own label Project 51 Recordings since 2003 and has worked alongside some of the most high-profile artists in the scene, including Shy FX, Pendulum and Prolix. Dark, grimy and uncompromising, it's the Florida-born producer's experimental sound which gives him his unique edge.

Z3R0 H0U2 brings together a fiery selection of tracks to reaffirm Gridlok's reputation as a force to be reckoned with. Fans with a taste for the darker edges of the music spectrum can expect an album packed full of only the very best murky drum and bass as Gridlok makes a beeline for the early hours dancefloor. Twisting and turning through a mixture of fast-paced percussion and powerful rolling beats, Z3R0 H0U2 solidifies the artist's status as a true pioneer of one of the more off-centre subgenres.f

The second release on Silkie's Anti Social Records from crew member Joss Ryan.

Ambient/ Electro/ Experimental. For fans of Ben Frost, Nico Muhly, Autechre, My Bloody Valentine, Glenn Branca or Steve Reich. Matthew Collings is a Scottish-based composer. Not only being a solo recording and live artist, he collaborates regularly with artists from all kinds of fields including musicians (Dag Rosenqvist from Jasper TX, Denovali label mate Talvihorros, Christos Michalakos or Euan Mcmeeken with whom he forms the duo Graveyard Tapes), dancers and filmmakers. He's responsible for several installations using custom-made software, which have been exhibited at Burning Man Festival/ San Francisco, Glasgow's Centre for Contemporary Arts or the 50th Design Biennial in Ljubliana/ Slovenia. His work for films includes a specially commissioned live score for Dziga Vertov's 1929 silent classic, 'The Man with the Movie Camera' and an invitation to work on 'The Invisibles', a commission from Amnesty International. Before settling down in Edinburgh, he lived in Iceland for six year, where he wrote a number of albums issued under the name of his lo-fi/ambient project 'Sketches for Albinos' and where he met fellow collaborator Ben Frost. His music can be roughly described as 'an elemental whorl of electro-acoustic (de)composition', ranging from tiny delicate moments of intimacy to all consuming noise. Collings' gentle blurred singing voice is added consequently as an melodic instrument, that never dominates, but soaks through a composition, which seems to be distorted through its state of constant shift. Strongly influenced by avant-garde guitar music, it calls the minimal music of Steve Reich or Gavin Bryars to mind in like manner. Splintered Instruments '...is not about noise or the decibel levels - it's about the sheer uncompromised approach to raw sound design' (Headphone Commute). Having received remarkable praise for his debut 'Splintered Instruments', Denovali Records is re-releasing the debut album accompanied by the release of his new second album called 'Silence Is A Rhythm too'. Produced by Ben Frost. CD: digipak. Vinyl: thick sleeves + thick printed inner sleeves, 180g vinyl, different vinyl colours, free download.

LTD 180G COLOURED VINYL

'Sound of Palladio' is the first in a four part series of limited 12" pressed to 180g coloured vinyl, with a single piece of cover artwork commissioned from Italian artist NEROG spanning throughout the series. Never Ready Records' inaugural release sees Venetian techno & bass house experimentalist Munstac veer between the echoing sub bass chambers and angular staccato momentum of The Cathedral' to the more drawn out drum rolls and flutter of The Theatre'. Along the way, East London's Spatial helms a mighty 132 BPM jungle break refix of The Cathedral' whipping up that trademark hectic fervor the Infrasonics label boss has previously delivered on the likes of WNCL & Stillcold'.

Mutant Joe returns on Natural Sciences with his debut vinyl release 'Operation Chaos' merging underground trap and hoop electronics. Guest collaborations from Freddie Dredd, YVNCC and Julien Andreas.

Person Of Interest debuts on UTTU with 4 tracks of tape saturated breakbeat house. Previous releases on L.I.E.S, Future Times & his own incredible Exotic Dance Records has shown he's one of the most interesting producers working in house & techno today.

Launched in the summer of 2002, here we are 15 years later and still going strong with one of Spirit's most in-demand releases in recent years. From the spacey, dubbed-out melodics of 'Think' to the frenzied breaks and thunderous stabs of 'Bounty Killer', with huge support across the board from Goldie, Andy C, Marky, Fabio, Friction, Storm, Randall, Marcus Intalex and Digital to name but some, it's a more than fitting way to mark the anniversary!

Wieder einmal steht Tame Impala-Sänger und -Mastermind Kevin Parker als zentrale Figur im Schaffensprozess der neuen Songs im Vordergrund. Beinahe das komplette Album wurde von ihm in diversen Studios, Hotelzimmern, Flugzeugen und Häusern rund um die Welt aufgenommen und produziert. Nach dem Motto 'never change a winning team' setzte Kevin wieder auf die Kompetenz von Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, MGMT) an den Mixern. Der Sound von "Lonerism" erfindet sich nicht komplett neu, sondern scheint eher neu-skizziert und erstreckt sich über weitere Ebenen als zuvor. Die größte Neuerung stellen die Synthesizer dar, die kosmische und sphärische Formen in nahezu jedem Track hinterlassen, zusätzlich zu den immer noch schneidenden Gitarrenriffs, dem taumelndem Bass, den steinigen Schlagzeugrumpeleien und Kevins einzigartiger Art zu Singen. Mit "Lonerism" machen Tame Impala den verdienten und konsequenten Quantensprung nach Vorne auf dem Weg, auf den sie sich mit "Innerspeaker" begeben haben.

A Thousand Harmonies in Silence is an album that highlights the idea of being "safe". Since writing this record I wanted to portray personal memory and experience that had me feeling at peace. Each track signifies a special place, thing, person and time. All of which had some sense of security. I challenged myself to really embody these moments and record my guitar in single takes. I can only hope you enjoy listening to this record as much as did writing it.

LP includes download code. DFA Records are excited to announce the release of 'Home Economics', the new album from Prinzhorn Dance School.The starting point for the new record was the band's amazing first US shows - two of their own and a triumphant showing at DFA's 12th anniversary - in May 2013.
Inspired by their American adventure, Prinzhorn Dance School brought the recording process in from the cold of the red shed to the heart of their everyday lives.Played and recorded on the move between different flats in Brighton and Hove, then wheeled around town on a hard drive wrapped in a sleeping bag in a specially-adapted suitcase, 'Home Economics' gave them an escape route from 'that frustration you feel when you spend days trying to recapture the intimacy of a particular moment,' Tobin Prinz remembers. 'This time we could just use the original take, so sometimes these songs are almost like field recordings.'

The historical Power Electronic founders duo remixed by two of the infamous artists of this new industrial/noise scene. Parrish Smith, also know as Sige Bythos and Volition Immanent, already appeared on labels as Nation, Contort Yourself and Knekelhuis, made a smashing track, slow and heavy, distorted and electrically powered.Black Seed, already appeared on DTLS SND and Sign Bit Zero signed a syncopated track, with tribal influences and bouncing sounds that will turn your brain into a whirpool.
Procreation and Religion... let's think about that.

Official Hedgehog Affair Remixes by Ron Wells.

limited to 200 copies (comes in different coloured sleeve, we cannot guarantee which one you will receive))
Area's Dreamlessness is the prolific experimentalist's 5th release for Kimochi Sound, and as usually the case, it incorporates some collaborators for the occasion. Donato Dozzy joins, walking the shimmering line between ambient and wall-of-noise, whereas Eltron John's contribution is a beguiling, bubbly, purple affair. The quietly impressive EP is rounded out with the dull neon throb of Everything Thrown Away and the pensive longing of Through The Wall.

After an intimate debut EP from ReKaB, Where We Met goes to Spain and meets the warm sound of Baraso. The Spanish talent is part of the Tribe crew in Barcelona and it’s also a 50% of Barson duo.

Sleepless opens the dances with a 4/4 rhythm that merges spacey atmospheres and house vibes, Mental Atmosphere then breaks it and takes the label back to its electro influences with bouncy bassline.

B sides starts with Space Mob a dark trip that evolves into something that will bring you back directly to Reedale Rise’s Broken Land, the Amen Break! The last track is Simba’s Joy that puts together mellow melodies and garage-ish rhythms, no Scar allowed!

The next in ART’s classic Remaster series is another gem from the early Eevolute catalogue. Max404’s (Erwin van Moll) “Recycler” EP was originally released in 1992 during the heyday of European Techno meets Detroit influences.

The legendary Solid Bass DX100 preset sound dominates the opening track showing its Detroit influences from the off. Mamoulian brings the European EBM/synthwave sound to the fore whilst Hangover merges the Chicago/Detroit sounds in a funk bass led feast.

Fractal View was the big hit from the EP. A techno-breaks hybrid perfect for the raves of today and yesterday. The EP ends with the dark, heavy breakbeat Quiddity - a haunting track that ensures ths classic eclectic EP stays in the mind forever.

Never previously reissued in its full vinyl format and only previously available as an in-demand original with prices to match - the remaster meticulously brings the sound up to modern standards.

Presenting a fully legit, remastered and repackaged reissue of this extremely sought after, cult 12" from Melancholy Man featuring unreleased music. Brand new for 2019.

London's Warriors Dance label was a unique operation and a pioneering London label during the late 80's acid house phenomena. Home to an assortment of DJs, MCs and soundmen, they went on to make their own original and indelible mark on the rave scene from the infamous 'Addis Ababa' studio on Harrow Road on the North-West side of the city. A former reggae and soul studio that was instrumental to the output of influential artists like Soul II Soul and more, a steady diet of reggae, bass, hip-hop, house and techno kept their edgy, and diehard UK sound and style right at the cutting edge of the dance music underground across the globe with the top DJs and producers of the day celebrating the label. The studio, helmed by label owner Tony ‘Addis’, acted as an incubator for artists whose names would go down in the history books.

Melancholy Man was a name synonymous with the crew, a name with a lot of weight, considering it was one of many of Tony Addis himself's production nom de plume's employed when behind the boards. 'Precaution' is that WD rawness, driving break-beat warehouse business with a massive dose of euphoria, the way it should be done. Included here are the original mixes from the 1991 OG 12", but as an added bonus, there is an unreleased, taken from Tony Addis' DAT archive mix that has never seen the light of day. That's 4 different mixes of this stormer that will fit into versatile DJ sets, straight from the source!

The EP is presented again. No edits, no remixes, just the pure unadulterated WD vibe, featuring original label artwork tweaked by Atelier Superplus and lovingly remastered by Optimum Mastering, Bristol, UK. Special thanks to Nicky Trax & Tony Addis. Proudly distributed by Above Board distribution. 2018.

Tilman Robinson’s third album, CULTURECIDE, is an investigation of the anthropocene; a seven part lamentation for our chaotic world.

Tilman Robinson is an Australian composer and sound designer creating electro-acoustic music across a range of genres including classical minimalism, improvised, experimental, electronic and ambient. Tilman’s diverse output focuses on the psychological impact of dense sound employing acousmatic and psychoacoustic principles. His third album CULTURECIDE will be released on Iceland’s Bedroom Community label in April 2020.

CULTURECIDE: “...processes that have usually been purposely introduced that result in the decline or demise of a culture, without necessarily resulting in the physical destruction of its bearers.” D Stein

CULTURECIDE is a rich sonic collage, harvesting sounds from a range sources including field recordings, medical machines that monitor the human body, traditional instruments and synthesisers, often melted electronically. The result is an unsettling paradox with sounds constantly on the edge of recognition. Each piece references a specific socio- political issue ranging from colonialism to neo-liberalism to climate change and the impending singularity of humans and machines. Far from an answer to these questions, CULTURECIDE invites us to meditate on their place in our life and approach personal understanding.

Recorded and produced almost completely in Australia, a land at the forefront of the devastation of climate change, CULTURECIDE was an attempt at catharsis for its author frequently appalled at his country’s incredible apathy and inaction. Mixed by Bedroom Community regular Daniel Rejmer and mastered by Lawrence English, works from the ambitious and unsettling record saw Tilman nominated for the 2019 Melbourne Prize for Music.

Giallo Disco is more than happy to welcome one of the absolute O.Gs of the 2nd wave of horror synth, the one and only Kansas City Warrior turned Mr Dr Hollywood himself… Umberto, who’s new EP ‘Outskirts Of Reno’ takes us deep into the seedy underbelly to tell the tale of a kidnapping. From the EBM dancefloor darkness of The Basement to the ascension-like arps of Repeat. Five brand new tracks from the master of mood destined to work it’s way into the record bags of discerning DJs across the globe… and into the nightmares of the weak… Limited to 200 Copies. Art by Eric A Lee.

Hit-maker Mind Enterprises is back with a new mini album with new and previously released singles and remixes.
The release is a collection of the artist’s recent singles including the acclaimed and Shortlist Magazine’s top 50 singles of 2017 ‘Idol’, plus ‘Gemini’ and ‘S.H.A.K.E’, which together with current new track ‘Monogamy’ marks the unveiling of an electrifying new sound.
Obsessed with vintage synthesisers and 80s beats, Mind Enterprises (aka Andrea Tirone) has created a sound which is somehow both forward thinking and nostalgic at the same time. Think Italo Disco meets retro dance, with razor sharp modern production, and you’re half-way there. ‘Monogamy’, coupled with it’s 80s style VHS video is designed to make your feet move and your heart long for simpler times. Its irresistible groove and disjointed vocals are as instant as they are idiosyncratic.

Drum & bass producer Philth is set to release his debut LP on Dispatch Recordings and "Moments in Time" is a monumental feat for the breakthrough producer. Due for release on the underground, yet trend setting imprint Dispatch Recordings, he's been spending his time ensuring the package was perfect before finally unleashing it to the world. Spread across thirteen weighty tracks with a second volume to follow in 2020, it's an intricate insight into the producer's expanding career and it's been given the perfect home at Dispatch. With a host of collaborators brought into the mix to have their own take on the "Moments in Time" sound alongside Philth, it's one of the final albums from Dispatch in 2019 and it demonstrates the journey the label's taken with its roster over another innovative year.

The lulling, yet painstakingly woven rhythms of "Gone" begins the track list, whilst tracks like "Lost in A Moment" featuring the vocals of Becca Jane Grey and "Dream Sequence (Two Hearts)" with Ella Sopp add a softer hue. The punchy drums of "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" comes next, followed by "Dope Game", then Facing Jinx adds his technicality throughout "Shaped". "Raven" with Wreckless and "Everest" alongside HLZ continues the collaborations, whilst "Descent", "Bodyclock" and "Messages in the Rain" are all standalone deliveries each showing a different part of Philth's technical ability. Finally, Sense MC adds his poetic lyricism across "Condensation" to close the album on a heartfelt note.

They draw together a powerful array of tracks, providing a pedestal for some of Philth's best work. With support already hailing from Goldie, Bailey, Marky, Hype, Randall, Krust and Noisia, this album will take Philth to the next level. In Dispatch Recordings capable hands "Moments in Time" will receive the platform it deserves, taking the listener on a journey, with the soul, music and personality which will see it stand the test of time.

Adam ‘Adred’ Baker is an imperative part of the US drum & bass scene, providing a home for its fans amongst the cultural hub of New York City. Alongside his work as a promoter for ‘Natural Selection NYC’, he’s also dropped music on labels such as Metalheadz, Soul:R and 31 Recordings, proving that he’s as multi-faceted as they come.

This is something which shines through on his forthcoming LP ‘KIM’ set to be released on Goldie’s Metalheadz; named after his late father whose Fender Rhodes features prominently in much of Adred’s music and is a central part of his inspiration.

The album is an introspective look at the producer’s history and one which will identify the elements which have made him both such a successful artist and drum & bass event host.

Welcoming Cesco with his Angry Waves EP. This is Cesco's first full EP on the label. His first (and highly acclaimed) release on the label was his track 'Drones' which featured on our Edition 3 LP. Cesco shows he is adept at dnb and various tempos with this EP. We have been waiting excitedly for a long time to share this EP with you. Cesco is classy and masterful. Out on 20/03/2020 on vinyl and digital.
