Inyoka (Roland Massey) is from Richmond, Virginia and has been an electronic music producer since 2005 and a DJ since 2009. Roland's earliest musical influences were hard rock and heavy metal, which led Roland to learn and play guitar for the past fifteen years. Roland started making electronic music in 2005 and graduated from the Omega Studios School of Applied Recording Arts and Sciences in Rockville, Maryland. During that time, Roland learned how to record and mix on several consoles and use different software programs and hardware for electronic music production. Roland uses his skills and talents as an audio engineer for post-production, sound design, and creating original productions for large soundsy stems. The word inyoka' translates to snake' in the Nguni/Zulu language. Roland's dubstep productions strike efficiently and precisely, like a snake, with crisp bass and minimal instrumentation. With releases on Silent Motion Records and Sure State, Inyoka is ready to share his signature sound and prodigious talent with the underground bass music community.

This EP is the result of troubled times. Because the music can speak by itself, we will just attached it to the ending part of « Howl » poem by Allen Ginsberg.

* « Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies! gone down the American river! Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!

* Breakthroughs! over the river! flips and crucifixions! gone down the flood! Highs! Epiphanies! Despairs! Ten years' animal screams and suicides! Minds! New loves! Mad generation! down on the rocks of Time!

* Real holy laughter in the river! They saw it all! the wild eyes! the holy yells!

* They bade farewell! They jumped off the roof to solitude! waving! carrying flowers! Down to the river! into the street! »
From Collected Poems 1947-1980.

Brighton's Klax crew return to Critical with their very first full blown EP release on the label since their Systems series debut back in 2015. From hard-hitting industrial strength and half- time leanings through to warm liquid gold, the Klax boys deliver yet another outstanding, fresh take on drum & bass.

Rerelease of muslimlim 001 with new artwork in a limited edition of 800

It was first in what continues to be a series of limited-edition subscription-only releases from Staalplaat, Izlamaphobia starts with an aggressive blast, "Hudood Ordinance." With a rhythm track consisting of extremely tweaked and processed electronic beats and bleeps, with only the gentlest of Arabic string instruments deep in the mix to relate things to a more familiar Muslimgauze sound, the song sets the general mood for the rest of Izlamaphobia. This said, Bryn Jones' specific talent is such that even without that, this would still sound like him, his trademark care and obsessiveness in terms of percussion again evident. Two discs long and with a variety of romanticized (some might say stereotypical) songtitles like "The Eternal Illusionist of Oid Bachdad" and "Lahore Morphine Market," Izlamaphobia has two chief artistic themes, if anything. On the one hand, Jones' incorporation of hip-hop and funk beats has never been stronger, providing songs like "Gilded Madrasa" and "The Public Flogger of Lahore" with a wickedly fierce kick and drive. On the other, the strained, alien treatments on many of the songs would be well at home on innumerable Warp Records releases of the '90s, with squelching rhythms, undanceable dance tracks and, quite unsurprisingly, a desire to avoid expected techno clichés. With these two strains combined on many songs by Jones, the results are wonderfully slamming, strange tracks such as "Khadija and Fereshta." Not everything is quite so dramatically different from past Muslimgauze releases, with the incorporation of multilayered acoustic percussion cropping up more than once, such as on "Hijab Muzzle." Everything is just that little bit dirtier in sound, though, and all the more intriguing for it. Some tracks are mere snippets and others don't quite deliver on their promise, but all in all Izlamaphobia is yet another Muslimgauze success.

"Instead of the drones and mostly beatless atmospheres of many previous Muslimgauze recordings, Zuriff Moussa presents quite a danceable switch for Bryn Jones. Dedicated to a Palestinian martyr, the album sounds like a cleaner version of Techno Animal, with Eastern influences instead of dub."Turkquoize Label" and"Brazil Marijuana" are surprisingly infectious, with distorted breakbeats and the patented Muslimgauze phased-channel drone. There are 24 tracks spread across more than an hour, so there isn't a large amount of time for each track, though several are presented in suites, like"Anti Arab America." For messed-up beat fans who are able to find it, Zuriff Moussa is close to a crucial purchase."

John Bush, All Music Guide

* On the EP f 109 Basel-based duo P.Noir celebrates the final fusion of dub and electroacoustic. Besides various feedback-loops and amps the musical elements are reduced to the max—what's left is a 30-minutes-trip into drums, drones and dread.
After an unterwelt-y 12" by dane//close and a chaos-tape straight outta Lucerne f 109 marks the third audio release of 2016 on Präsens Editionen, also home to the zweikommasieben Magazin.

* Press / Promotion: Präsens Editionen was founded in 2011 to give home to zweikommasieben Magazin. Ever since a bunch of magazines, books, zines, records, tapes and oddities have been published.
zweikommasieben is a Swiss magazine that has been devoted to the documentation of contemporary club culture since the summer of 2011. The magazine features artist interviews, essays and columns as well as photography, illustration and graphics. In addition, zweikommasieben organizes concerts, parties, club nights, matinees, raves and other fun events in various cities.

Mesmerising, moody-as-f**k new production from Pessimist, owning the dark blue space where icy drum'n'bass minimalism and sub-aquatic dub-techno meet. Perfect alignment of stripped, shadow-boxer drums, swooping drones and earth-shaking subs, with a thin layer of crackle and masterful use of silence.....you can hear the influence of Chain Reaction outliers, Source Direct, even early dark garage in there....but this is a pure futurist blend. On the flip, the dense, dungeon rollage of 'Orphic', an effortless bridging of torques and tempos that builds on the radical groundwork of Regis, Felix K and Pessimist's own Ruffhouse crew. Following a run of fine solo work for Ingredients and Samurai Music among others, the Bristol-based producer and UVB-76 co-founder has truly excelled himself here, demonstrating both a subtlety and a ruthlessness that sets him apart from his peers. If you come across a deadlier record this year, let us know.

A fresh relic was unearthed in the distant East and the retreating ice sheets of Siberia - the ancient bones of a forgotten race, once again touched by sunlight and air, stirring the caged memories within. Tendrils of this prehistoric demon's soul wrapped themselves around those who made the discovery - entrancing, captivating and compelling them with its dark story from the deep past. It is a tale that runs eternal, an account of the deepest savagery of nature - a conflict that has spilled across every conscious being and drives the endless cycle of life.

EATBRAIN channel a tale of a forgotten age through the unique minds of SEGMENT & CONCEPT VISION and their MAMMOTH EP. Featuring 4 precisely engineered cuts of audio that reach into the fraught and fractured core of existence and tear deep grooves into those who listen. VINTAGE opens the EP with luscious dub-driven pads and undulating tones that drop into a shifty and tight neurofunk banger, punctuated by pitched vocal stabs. RADIANT tears up the dance with a strobing and sweeping bassline, backed with a beautiful yearning melody and soft arpeggios. The title track of the EP MAMMOTH takes careful aim before striking a series of brutally syncopated blows, before HEIST takes down the rave in a flood of sirens leading to a stepper with an eminently catchy hook and deep, driving vibe.

TOMAGA channel various forms of multi-instrumentalism into music that moves by turns through industrial, jazz, psychedelia and minimalism, on it's way to somewhere wholly other. Devoted to musical exploration, this London based duo - Valentina Magaletti and Tom Relleen - obsessively deconstruct familiar tropes, looking for the tension that lies between improvisation and form.

Following the release of their second album 'The Shape Of The Dance' last September, TOMAGA will release a new four track EP 'Greetings from The Bitter End' which features two new songs and reworkings from good pals Shit & Shine and Cavern Of Anti-Matter. The impetus for the new EP came when the pair returned from recording the last album in Tuscany and acquired a marimba on arrival back in London, this unleashed a "tuned percussion journey" resulting in the mantra like 'Liberating Mania'.

The title track is a more ambient and atmospheric affair - a textured build up of percussive parts and features Rick Tomlinson on hornet. Always open to collaboration with outside bodies (as well as touring with the likes of Wire, Deerhoof and Silver Apples), the pair have previously been invited by Turner Contemporary Gallery to stage a performance using the artworks of Pedro Reyes (re-conditioned weapons confiscated by Mexican police from drug cartels and turned into instruments) as inspiration and also contributed a sound object to the Yoko Ono exhibition 'Lumiere De L'aube'.

Their next engagement comes from the invite of Thurston Moore who has recruited them for The Can Project, in which the duo will be performing as part of an ensemble fronted by the Sonic Youth singer and featuring previous Can members at the Barbican on April 8th. Curated by Irmin Schmidt, the event will be in honour of the late Can drummer Jaki Leibzeit, and will feature an orchestral reinterpretation of classic Can material alongside new work with the London Symphony Orchestra. 'I guess for most musicians, as far as arrangements, production and songwriting, it's impossible to ignore the importance and the influence of such a band. I don't think it reckless stating that their musical legacy will keep influencing generations to come. We are extremely honoured to be part of this project together with a string of incredible musicians.' Tomaga say of the event.

It's a well-known fact that Total Science are massive winners - or weiners, depending which sausage factory you bump into them at. And here with their brand new Turn Around EP, they're now putting that into vinyl format with some of their nearest and dearest fellow victors.

Comprised of four killer cuts that combine a raft of their influences, the title track Turn Around takes you back to the early 90's jungle sound. They combine once again with Symmetry label boss and all round drum and bass badman Break for Big Time Winners, summoning the ghost of rave past. The Music Master Calibre steps into the CIA fray once again to remix the beautiful TS classic Walk The Same Lines with Riya, and they also combine with fellow Bristol resident and technical wizard DLR on Too Close For Comfort, taking you down a deep rabbit hole.

Total Science's Turn Around EP signals their intent for 2017 - consider this your first warning!

The 9th piece to the ever growing Vinyl puzzle comes from Encrypted Audio's own Trisicloplox (Killian) residing in the US heartland for Bass music Denver/Colorado.Not the only Denver'ite on the EA rosta you will be hearing from I assure you. Killian's love for distortion and forward thinking wave forms takes the listener into an emotive bass and kick driven frenzy across all his tracks. Cafe Blank in a monster with a driving kick pattern and distorted topline to carry off any rave.Estranged leaves you in a field a bass frequencies hard to match. iaido is seeing alot of support from the likes of GothTrad and recently even the likes of The Bug have found their ears gravitated towards Trisco. As a total exclusive and only with buying the release via Encrypted Audio Bandcamp when it drops you will be able to get 'Ache'.
Ache is my personal all time favourite Trisco tune that haunting screech and female top line are sure to get you.

Finally repressed

Booyaka! Wah gwan junglist Rasta Vibez ah bak wid a couple of irie edits that will make ya pum-pum batty move and shake. Big tingz once again that will make di duppy man dweet. Better cop it quick!

Culture Glitch Records is run by a collective of musicians, visual artists,programmers and graphic designers from Derry, Ireland. The labels' purpose is to provide a platform for artists have their works heard and seen. This release encapulates many different styles of electronica from artists such as Ryan Vail,
Best Boy Grip, Shammen Delly, Shocko & The Crimson Underground. BBC 6 Music, Radio 1 and BBC Radio Ulster recently showcased many of these artists.

Fresh from their remix of Jinx' "Car Full Of Herbs", Bristol/London Bass specialists Vinyl Junkie & Sanxion return to Asbo Records alongside legendary Reggae singer Bushman with "Talk Too Much". Things get busy from the start on the original DnB version, a tightly packed and weighty amen break welcomes in Bushman's thoughtful melodic vocals with dubwise horns and instrumentation recreating that timeless reggae vibe at 170BPM with snatches of bleeps and pads that hint at Vinyl Junkie & Sanxion's oldskool hardcore/jungle history. DJ Westy on the remix fattens things up bringing the bass to the front for a real sound system smasher. The 140 remix retains the main elements of the original with added dirty bass and half time drops perfect for festival season, guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser for fans of breaks reggae and that early rave sound.

In 1997 the crew of Electro Bunker Cologne-released Wagon Christ's seminal chopped TripHop / IDM alltime classic - London Is A Country' as very limited 11' pressing.

Four years later, back in 2001, an unofficial and limited to 500 copies 12' pressing featuring two re-mixes by the likes of Link and Rei$$dorf Force and the original Wagon Christ track appeared via the Cologne-based label Hotel Lotte - and rumours had it that it was sold out immediately.

Now, 13 years after the initial release, a few lost and unplayed copies of this unofficial gem were discovered in the dust-covered boxes that make up the archives of this long gone label - bringing back the fascination of chopped intelligent breaks, heavy timestretching and Dub-heavy, super psychedelikk Dope Beats.

All mixes 33 RPM!

(Mattia Trani remix) The french punks '90 process' debut on Pushmaster Discs with an amazing real techno acid bangin e.p: truly Rave inspired cuts!

Hopis is a glance at the various personalities embodied in the duo Charlotte Isabelle, the whole being wrapped in an ethnic universe. The guideline of their second EP is to expose repetitive and percussive beats from the stage to the public, bringing the audience in a gloomy world, and keeping on their path after a debut release on Lucy's Stroboscopic Artefact.

The Green King Cuts family are back with the second instalment of the vinyl only record label's catalogue. GKC providing a 4 track EP, deriving from reggae dub influences with newly Dubstep and grime sounds. DE-TU (Chris Iona and Jevon Ives) are a London born and Bristol-based music producing Duo. Chris and Jevon, who attend University in Bristol, share the same love and knowledge for the reggae dub music and sound system culture. Both Chris and Jevon having released music digitally, on different named aliases, in the drum and bass, hip-hop circuit was only going to spur the pair on to experiment in music. DE-TU come to the surface, in 2016 with only the one sound cloud upload. This will be the pair's debut release on any format. Bukkha (Evert) who is a music producer, originating from America but now living in Valladolid Spain, travelling the world, reflects in his sound and he is becoming one of the greats for the future. The space in the mix between the bass and drums keeps the flow and rhythm and supplies the listener a nostalgic feel of deep meditation. The big hall reverbs of the snares and delays on the percussion create a rhythmic stepper pattern. The heavy 808 sub bass melody, is high-spirited and packs a weighty punch. Bukkha's remixes are made for the sound system dances, for people to dance because of the driving kick and baseline, urging the rhythmic pattern to never stop. All four tracks take the listener on a journey through the influences, which has being made in the last 10 years for the dance. DE-TU and Bukkha are pivotal to the scene, driving forward the sound and love for the culture.

Fuck Dubstep, this is Cologne Dub from hell!

Rediscovered from the lost archives of the classic Hotel Lotte-imprint these four super creepy, slow and grinding Dub monsters are featuring dark timestretching, heavy Illbient- / Crooklyn Dub-influences, slo-mo scratching and HipHop-infused sample works whilst transmitting some of the deepest subsonic basslines you've ever heard. Tunes that are truly alternating your perception of space and time - pressed as a limited edition of 500 copies back in 1999. Only very few copies available.

Limited 7 London Grammar have unveiled another new single from their long-awaited new album, 'Truth Is A Beautiful Thing'

Leben, Lieben, Lachen. Schmerz, Schamgefu¨hl, Schuld. Trauer, Trost, Tatendrang. Hoffnung, Heilung, Hilflosigkeit. Einsamkeit, Egoismus, Entta¨uschung. U¨bergangslos erleben wir eine harmonische Verbindung all dieser und vieler mehr Emotionen, die uns hypnotisch in den Bann ziehen. Hier wird man mit der Wahrheit konfrontiert. Einzigartig clever verpackt mu¨ssen wir uns am Ende vielleicht eingestehen, dass das, was wir von der einen auf die andere Minute fu¨hlen ko¨nnen, zwar aufbrausend und einnehmend ist, dass uns aber genau diese Eigenschaft menschlich macht. Die zehn sehr unterschiedlichen Titel, die differenten Sprachen und Sprichwo¨rtern gewidmet sind, nehmen uns mit auf eine Reise durch die Gefu¨hlswelten des menschlichen Daseins. Oder darf der Interpret an dieser Stelle psyochologisiert werden und stattdessen sprechen wir wohl eher von der Reise durch sein Gefu¨hlschaos
Denn durchaus verarbeitet Mario Hammer in seiner Musik eine Zeit des Nachdenkens und Gru¨belns. Er selbst nennt das Lebenserfahrung. Wir du¨rfen Teil dieser Erkenntnis werden und vielleicht wird uns
bewusst, wie oft wir uns doch selbst beim Ho¨ren der Musik wiederfinden ko¨nnen.
Es ist sowohl die Kreativita¨t, als auch das enorme Feingefu¨hl fu¨r To¨ne und Klangfarben, die dieses
Album ausmachen. Vierzehn Monate hat Mario Hammer in Zusammenarbeit mit Josef Steinbu¨chel ein Emotionen- und Klangkarussell entwickelt, dass nicht nur unsere Sinne beru¨hrt, sondern ebenso Gedanken anregt.
Bereits das Debu¨talbum L'esprit De L'escalier war ein voller Erfolg und bescherte den Ho¨rern eine
wunderbare Andersartigkeit. Am 02.06.2017 erscheint nun das neue Album Je L'ai Ca^lisse´e La` von Mario Hammer And The Lonely Robot bei BineMusic.

Formed from plastics and particulars by Richard Chartier, 2015 - "I am lonely, yet I feel wonderful..."
Pinkcourtesyphone is a continuing project by Los Angeles-based sound artist Richard Chartier. He is considered one of the key figures in the current of reductionist sound art which has been termed both microsound and Neo-Modernist. Chartier's minimalist digital work explores the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, perception and the act of listening itself.
Pinkcourtesyphone is a more emotional, dare one say musical side of his work. Pinkcourtesyphone is dark but not arch, with a slight hint of humor. Pinkcourtesyphone is amorphous, changing, and slipping in and out of consciousness. Pinkcourtesyphone operates like a syrup-y dream and strives to be both elegant and detached.

Pinkcourtesyphone has collaborated with the likes of Cosey Fanni Tutti, Kid Congo Powers, harpist Gwyneth Wentink, AGF, William Basinski, and Evelina Domnitch. Pinkcourtesyphone's work has been released internationally on labels including: Editions MEGO (Austria), Room40 (Australia), LINE (US), Important Records (US), Dragon's Eye Recordings (US), Farmacia901 (IT), Champion Version (UK), Boomkat (UK), and IO Sound (Canada).
Chartier's sound works/installations have been presented in galleries and museums internationally and he has performed his work live across Europe, Japan, Australia, and North America at digital art/electronic music festivals and exhibits. In 2000 he formed the recording label LINE and has since curated its continuing documentation of compositional and installation work by international sound artists/composers exploring the aesthetics of contemporary and digital minimalism.

Norwegian sound artists Alexander Rishaug and Lasse Marhaug have worked together as a duo for almost 20 years. In this time they have produced one album, 2004's "Feel Free At Home".
Now, the pair are ready with their follow-up: "Corneal Clouds". The music was recorded in 2012, then put through an extensive and meticulous fermentation process of five years until now - at last - it is ready for the public. Rishaug Marhaug promotes positive thinking through their unique brand of electronic music.

After only two years since their first release on Cyclone, Amoss have become one of the most exciting and forward thinking names in drum & bass. A love of music stretching back into both their pasts, the duo have amazed audiences across the globe with the style, panache and variation which has characterised their work. Taking a lead from names such as Renegade Hardware and Moving Shadow, James and Andrew have successfully moulded their influences into a futuristic, genre-defining sound.

* Now they are ready to step up a notch, delivering a new release for the mighty Horizons label. Bumbaclart and Dilate will go a long way to cementing their reputation for big, bad and heavy d&b, which has seen them being supported by Spectrasoul, London Elektricity, Storm, Loxy and more. Amoss are known for their involving, evolving blend of beats and bass and their in-depth knowledge of the technical side of production, and the two tracks on show here are markers of their intention, in two markedly different ways.
* Bumbaclart is a deep, dark look into a Jamaican-inspired nightmare. Claustrophobic, mind-melding atmospherics surround a spoken intro, before a deceptively simple beat/bass dichotomy kicks in later on. An explanation of the meaning of the word is surrounded by pounding, groove-fuelled melodies, leaving you reeling and reaching for more. Amoss build worlds with everything they do, and they do this expertly on Bumbaclart.
* Dilate, meanwhile, builds from an initial electric pulse to a steady-growing groover, by way of some neat percussion. The underlying pulse gets louder, invading your mind, as layers are added on top. Amoss's sound is addictive, almost catching you unawares with its complexity and artistry.
* Amoss are *the* name in d&b for experimentation, progression and fiercely original music. Teaming up with Horizons, they are going to be BIG. Get on board now.

Double EP release: A-side includes their new Undress EP (released 02 May), and the b-side includes their previous, self-released, Jacket EP (which hasn't be pressed to vinyl yet) 3mm spine, 12" jacket format Includes .wav download card

The sixth release to grace vinyl from Encrypted Audio features Helktram (Yasuaki Shimabukuro).
Yasuaki joined Encrypted along with Japanese exports DayZero and London based Samba.
Yasuaki mixes his love of bass with a wide variety of BPM's and this release showcases his versatility. Rain Skin / Knocking take his love of catchy chime hooks that will have any dubstep elitist moving. Mind Oz takes us on 150bpm venture in the mind of Oz. A warped trip of bass goodness for the soul.
With scene support & shows all across Japan as well as Goth Trad's infamous BTC (Back To Chill)

Vinyl Only Ltd.
'Iajov' is the alter ego of the Bucharest based producer Am.Light. 'Kalpa' immerses you into a spiral of voodoo sounds that allows you to move towards a shamanic state of consciousness. The ritual explores a hypnotic and atmospheric concept, marked by the identity of Annulled Music.

Little Mary strays from the pack, floating from one rock to another, in the midst of the narrow cascading river stream. Feeling the respirating leaves ebb and flow, she caught a glimpse of a pagan rain dance, a drum circle within a pocket of sunshine - where all mantras come to life.

This captivating split EP (titled 'Acosta'), sees Kilchhofer's second 12', after his 'Dersu' EP on 'Marionette'. The flip side features Hainbach who gets his work pressed on vinyl for the very first time - after a few tape releases, his latest being on Ted Butler & Cortini's 'Limited Interest' label. This is truly something wonderful from two very gifted and unique artists.

Shorter than many of Muslimgauze's 1990s albums -- 13 untitled songs over 45 minutes -- Azzazzin, originally released as part of the limited-edition subscription series, feels more like a collection of random experiments than a cohesive piece of work per se. If not something that would intrigue the casual listener, the hardcore fan will likely find something of interest on the various tracks here. Starting with an extremely minimal opening number -- it's no surprise Finnish experimental duo Pan Sonic are Muslimgauze fans, based on this track -- Azzazzin has a much more electronic feeling than most of Bryn Jones' other albums, eschewing the traditional elements used elsewhere for a rough, quietly aggressive and disturbing feel. Comparisons with Aphex Twin aren't too far off the mark here, but this is still clearly a Muslimgauze release than any sort of ripoff. The fourth track, with its unpredictable keyboard snarls over a low, quiet pulse, and the sixth and seventh songs, with distorted, high-pitched noise tones mixed with a soft series of bass notes and a slight spoken-word interjection from time to time, are some of the strong points from this intriguing release. Beats are used in an extremely limited way throughout Azzazzin, with rhythm, always a key component of Jones' work, more suggested at points by the nature of the keyboard lines than anything else. Closing with an equally minimal track, Azzazzin won't be everyone's cup of tea, but adventuresome listeners will find themselves rewarded.

At the beginning of the 1930s, the press magnate Dominique Willem Berretty still held power over the Dutch East Indies. From the very lowest rung, this teacher's son, born 1890, raised a media empire upon a single principle, 'Activity, Activity, Speed'. As a clarion call from the future, it heralded the construction of a new world, one where information was faster than light, where modernity would be celebrated by an ever firmer grip upon the accelerator pedal. But control of his press agency (baptised Aneta, for always number one in spite of everything), driven at full bore, would begin to slip away: politicians no less than his competitors, began to tire of his monopoly. In October 1932, as his empire was fading, he commissioned architect Wolff Schoenmaker to construct the palace of his dreams: the Villa Isola, north of Bandung. D.W. Berretty would have but several months to enjoy his art-deco pearl. On December 20 1934, bankrupt, he would fly to Europe aboard a DC-2 Uiver in order to sell Aneta to the highest bidder. But he was never to complete the voyage: the first flying machine equipped with automatic piloting would crash down upon the town of Ar Rutba in Iraq.

By tracing back through time and his memories (particularly those of a trip to Vietnam), Pilooski - who we've seen in duo as Discodeine and solo, in the Dirty Edits series - would end up pushing open he door to the Villa Isola: a vestibule leading to a double spiral staircase framing a marble pediment engraved with the words M'ISOLO E VIVO (I isolate myself, and live). On the first floor lay a grand semi-circular reception room opening onto French gardens. Before the windows, leather easy chairs arranged with maniac regularity about a round table. On the lid of a grand piano, a virgin in polished glass, and on the walls, oil renditions of Dutch canals jostled with jungle watercolours. One floor up in the constructivist bar, Berretty had installed a film projector. What would he have watched, cocktail in hand, alongside his guests Herbier's The Inhuman Woman, Murnau's Tabu, or Chaplin's City Lights. Who could tell

As a tribute to this projection room, Pilooski has imagined four original soundtracks owing as much to radio broadcasts for insomniacs as they do to recorded recitals for children. With Eden Ahbez's Eden's Island album in mind, he has called upon the following contributors:

Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) has chosen an extract from Carl Gustav Jung's The Red Book; Judah Warsky has written an homage to the sun and the moon ; Narumi Hérisson (Tristesse Contemporaine) reads a passage from Ango Sakaguchi's Sakura No Mori No Makaï No Shita; and writer Simon Liberati (Anthology of Apparitions, Jayne Mansfield 1967, Eva) a fragment from one his 113 Studies of Romantic Literature.

For four exotic and minimalist pieces of spoken word, over which Clément Froissart plays flute, Axel Lecourt, percussion and Julien Vichnievsky the guitar. Together, the pieces make up Isola, the new Pilooski EP.

Damon Yates, AKA martianMan, set up 4th Planet Recordings to release music by people which includes some of his more favorite artists. Artist that simply need to have more music released. It involves the same basic idea that he had when starting up the martianMan volumes which is to release original, high quality jungle with a completely underground feel. Not only the bass and drums are important for the vibes but the whole feel of the music is in play. It can be completely futuristic sounding or full of old school vibes though out. However it's served up just know that it is underground.

Nach seinem Auftritt auf der Compilation 'Chicken Accelerator'
liefert Sternrekorder Sternrekorder Sternrekorder Sternrekorder alias Martin Home mit - Weissensee' - Weissensee' - Weissensee' - Weissensee' seine
Debut-Mini-LP ab.
Mit seinen wunderschönen Melodien und Harmonien entführt uns der
Leipziger in die Ära der späten 70er und frühen 80er Jahre, als
elektronische Musik noch richtig verspielt und unschuldig war.

Album of all new material from this maverick Spanish producer.

Floor fillers reminiscent of early Prodigy-style breakbeat, accompanied by a neurotic acid gem and an ambient version of the title track. The R raves on! With 'What's Going On', Electronic Emergencies turns back the clock to 1993. By then, Dutch brothers The R had made a name for themselves with releases like 'Rave the Planet' on legendary proto techno label ESP, and the four previously unreleased tracks on 'What's Going On' were also created during the heyday of Dutch pre-trance techno house.

Since the millennium 2raumwohnung unites electronic sounds and pop melodies in a variety of ways. The early singles 'Wir trafen uns in einem Garten' (2000) or '2 von Millionen Sternen' (2001) playfully communicated the life-style of a new Berlin. The duo, consisting of Inga Humpe and Tommi Eckart, started as a studio project and continued to develop via eight album productions. At the same time, an important impulse included developments in techno or house music. Their most successful album '36 Grad' stayed in the German album-charts for 33 weeks; 2raumwohnung continued to expand their stage range as well.

Next up on Craig Richard's Tuppence imprint following Convextion's superb 'New Road' 7', comes the two slices of heavy dub pressure: 'Babylon Correction Dub' from esteemed Canadian producer Deadbeat.Please note these are limited 7' only releases. Watch out for other forthcoming releases on Tuppence from Howie B and Shaun Ryder.

DJ Plant Texture & Gnork AKA DJ Shark team up for this split 12 on UTTU.. rough break-beat-houz & jungle pressure for the headz!!

City Slang is very proud to announce the Sympathy for the Auto Industry Remixes by Berlins analog techno prodigies FJAAK (50Weapons/ Monkeytown), which is an Electronic music trio from Berlin and probably the only Techno-Boyband worldwide. Having grown up together, they began to create all types of music made with microphones, guitars and drums in a dark, chaotic and dirty cellar at quite an early age. After getting in touch with the berlin-underground-techno-scene, days and nights started being all about music. Whether it was chopping beats on the mpc in the morning hours or studying manuals, the internet, vinyl stores and Schneiders Buero. In 2014 they signed to 50WEAPONS and have since released 3 captivating and very fresh sounding techno EPs. Modeselektor have hot tipped them to be the next big thing, because of their unique, melodic and high quality style of producing. HeCTA is the brainchild of Kurt Wagner, Ryan Norris and Scott Martin of Lambchop. Exploring and experimenting with the idea of combining the notion of 'song", elements from electronic music and a shared love of the electronic form and it's many permutations, HeCTA and the album The Diet does not sound like anything these guys have done before.

* Kowton unleashes a pair of devastating dance floor weapons to rattle your ribcage.

* 'Pea Soup' gets wavey in a fog of old rave stylings and jagged rhythms, while b-side 'Iodine' rolls with a deeper shuffle, putting a UK spin on the classic Detroit sound.

Due to confusion, martianMan 004 will follow martianMan 002.
So martianMan 003 will be released after martianMan 004.
'Exile Dub' is an amen monster 'The Mind' is a soul pride tune, spaced out and deep Support from Rumbleton, Double O, Mantra.

Many influential characters graced the stage of Max's Kansas City within the creative zeitgeist of New York City during the late 1970's, but one local native named Annie Bandez thrust herself into the downtown scene with her punk ensemble Annie and the Asexuals, establishing her nom de plume Annie Anxiety (later known as Little Annie') and colliding head-on with the social norms of contemporary punk culture entangling the city at that time.

After a couple years of disintegrated pursuits in New York, Annie relocated to England, finding herself at the doorstep of the famed anarchro-commune Dial House headed by activist Penny Rimbaud. It was here that Annie Anxiety established herself as a singular artist and voice with her debut 1981 single Barbed Wire Halo' on seminal Crass Records and forging a creative alliance with Crass members Penny Rimbaud and Eve Libertine. As the landscape of punk in the United Kingdom was shifting towards a more diverse, multicultural focal point, artists such as Annie Anxiety found themselves exploring musical signatures in styles such as dub reggae and rocksteady.

In the summer of 1983, Annie began work at Southern Studios on what would be her first full length endeavor which encompassed all of her creative assets at that time. Employing the expertise of legendary dub producer Adrian Sherwood to realize this vision, Annie pulled together members of Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, Family Fodder, African Head Charge, London Underground and Art Interface to record her groundbreaking dub industrial masterpiece. Upon its initial release by the unofficial Crass off-shoot label Corpus Christi in 1984, Soul Possession started the avalanche of activity that would include dozens of releases and collaborations with Nurse With Wound, Coil, Current 93, Swans and Marc Almond.

In his second volume of the Beat Tape series, Istanbul based acclaimed beat-maker Da Poet works his hip hop magic with 14 killer tracks. The album features collaborative beats of Gantz, Grup Ses, Ahu, Gokalp K, OtherMan and Ince Sarj.

präsentiert das Bristoler Trio Elder Island elektronischen Leftfield-Pop mit Neo-Soul-Elementen, eklektischen Bässen und einem leichten Funk-Twist.

Furthering the audio niche he's chainsawed out for himself in his tin shack studio deep in the ghettos of Santiago De Chile. The influence of his decaying urban surrounding is plain to hear in his definitively Raw productions. Channeling the chaotic noise of the bustling cityscape into an aggressive groove to combat the daily torment of the outside world. Raw C presents 9 tracks of funk filled fury with which to blast sound systems and subdue Barrios from Santiago to St. Tropez.

Cristobal Rawlins, aka Raw C returns to No. on his 3rd appearance for the label with his debut album 'Antebellum'.

Relay For Death are the twin sisters Rachal and Roxann Spikula, whose noise mantras transcribe the harsh realities of urban blight that complicate and threaten their own survival. It was in the context of two month medical study that the Spikulas composed their debut album in 2009, grotesquely amplifying the emptiness of hospital rooms into a ghastly pall worthy of the classic works by Maurizio Bianchi. Natural Incapacity sprouts from a similar research and development, manifesting from the sonic pollution that proliferates in their current residence of Richmond, California. Clocking in at well over two hours, Natural Incapacity was composed as a seamless, glacial accretion of locomotive grind, subharmonic environmental rumble, nocturnal street sweeping, and the quavering hum of toxic chemicals perpetually leached into the water table. By design, Natural Incapacity's oil-stained drone is completely relentless, implying neither beginning nor end to this cycle of contamination. Relay For Death's industrial meditation recognizes abjection, horror, and defeat as the prevalent conditions to existence. Even as a declared rejection to those conditions, Natural Incapacity is engulfed in a bleak nihilism constantly churning back upon itself. Grizzled antecedents can be found in the apocalyptic works of Maurizio Bianchi, Kevin Drumm's Imperial Distortion, and Organum's Vacant Lights.

While intended to be a seamless document, Natural Incapacity is split over two CDs and does feature a download of the composition in unedited form. The physical edition features hand-rusted metal covers by the noted corrosion artist Jim Haynes and is strictly limited to 150 copies.

"Overview Effect" heißt das Debütalbum des Londoner Komponisten und Multiinstrumentalisten Roger Goula. Das ambiente und experimentelle Album erscheint auf Cognitive Shift Recordings, dem neu gegründeten Label für zeitgenössische Klassische Musik, in Zusammenarbeit mit One Little Indian und wurde durch Erfahrung von Astronauten und Kosmonauten inspiriert, die vom Orbit aus unsere Erde betrachten. Goula vereinigt darauf sowohl Einflüsse von Barock-, Renaissance-Musik (Monteverdi, Bach, Vivaldi) mit Minimalismus (Reich, Glass, Part) als auch mit Texturen und Sounds der Electronica (Aphex Twin, Autechre).

REPRESSED !
Ultra bleak, minimal, ritual electronics. Debut releases from this new duo.

From the fertile fauna of the Swedish scene comes Vargdöd, the official pairing of Jonas Rönnberg and Anders Karlsson, better known´as Varg and Celldöd. Across six long form tracks the duo exercise their keen instinct for expansive, gloomy atmospherics and techno subtleties with a spirit that naturally aligns with the overcast outlook of Opal Tapes.

This outing is not the first time the two have been seen together. The ever-prolific Rönnberg adopted his Black Leather Harness alias to appear alongside Celldöd on Krig, the first cassette release on Karlsson's own Brutal Disciplin label. From those early manoeuvres in 2014 Karlsson has quickly established himself as a proponent of uncompromising, unconventional techno on labels such as Suction
Records and Kess Kill. Rönnberg meanwhile has continued to be a potent force both with his solo and collaborative work and at the helm of Northern Electronics, most recently releasing the third installment in his Nordic Flora series. On Brutal Discipline, the tones and textures shift but the mood remains consistently foreboding. The mechanical rhythms strain through distortion and the clouds of noise billow across vast space on opening track Kennel Murder Case', while the lingering minor pad on Starved To Death' spells out a more melodious foreboding behind the gently bludgeoning drum cycle. Bitten' takes a more tentative approach, letting its fuzzy backdrop slowly purr around the delicate, snaking patter of the percussion. Sharp, rasping beats take the lead in the barren landscape of Elite Dogs Of War', and yet still the opening scuff of K9 Warrior' will jerk your head around in a most uncomfortable of fashions. Here the noise is cloying, attaching itself to any sonic matter trying to peak through the muck, yet there's time and space for a militaristic narrative to unfold towards the climax of the track. That leaves it to No Dogs Go To Heaven' to round the release off in a suitably bleak fashion, placing the emphasis on low-end industrial pulse and swirling static firing out into an uncertain stereo field.

Roman Flügel "I think the first 5 tracks of the album are simply fantastic"

Electronic music producer and DJ Greg Sanders AKA Distance returns with his third long player 'Dynamis', set for release through Tectonic Recordings on 21st October.

* Alongside recording 'Dynamis' over the past four years, Distance has been writing and producing for other artists including Riz MC, Jeb Loy Nichols and Jon More of Coldcut. Working with these artists helped open his mind to other styles of music and led to him veering away from his 140bpm roots. The productions of A$AP Ferg, Drake, Schoolboy Q and earlier Arca and FKA Twigs were a big influence, alongside the soundtracks of Hans Zimmer and Cliff Martinez.

* "I get inspiration from everywhere and deliberately try to ignore what is happening in the scene I'm most involved in. 'Dynamis' is influenced a lot by film scores, I have geeked out massively to create great dynamics in all of the tracks, sounds are heavily automated and processed to really give the music life."

* Even the structure of the tracks ditches the typical DJ friendly layouts and is programmed in an order that best helps to deliver the story. Some of the tracks give a subtle nod to this way of thinking - 'Sink or Swim', 'Paradigm', 'Instruction to Survive'.

* "I wanted to portray my willingness to progress and that I totally embrace the positives and negatives of change. If you stay stationary within any artform you will surely fail. I named a track "Fear Change" because most people would rather do anything other than change."

* As producer, DJ and label owner of Chestplate Records, Distance has been instigating change in music since emerging in 2003. Gathering early support from the legendary John Peel and going on to be part of the utterly seminal Dubstep Warz show on Radio 1 presented by Mary Anne Hobbs, he was a regular at seminal raves FWD, DMZ, Exodus and SUB:DUB and hosted on Rinse FM 2003-2012. With 12" releases on Tectonic and Hotflush; his first two albums 'My Demons' (2007) and 'Repercussions' (2008) were released through the respected label Planet Mu.

* "I feel very privileged to have released two albums on Planet Mu and they are still referenced by many as key albums in dubstep's history. Tectonic has been releasing my music for almost a decade, so it felt right me producing an album for the label. Pinch is a good friend and one of the few people who's opinion I trust."

* 'Dynamis' is the first Distance album to feature vocalists; helping to portray emotions, tell a story and aid the overall narrative of the album.

* "It was great recording them. When recording 'Badman' with Killa P I got him to stand as far away from the mic as possible and shout the lyric across the studio, as though he was shouting at someone across the street. We were cracking up at the time. I then used these recordings to create multiple layers and textures to his vocal, this gave the impression of there being a huge crowd of people chanting the chorus. Beezy was also a great artist to work with. We were done recording in about 20 minutes, he's so professional and knows exactly how to deliver the vocals the way I need them."

* The album's title is an ancient word: the original Greek meaning "heart, drive, power" and in English "the state of that which is not yet fully realized".

* "I always want my music to take you somewhere. Because I am experimenting more in sound design and tempo, I thought 'Dynamis' was perfect. In a sense I was trying to create something new. At the beginning of the process it hadn't yet been realised. Maybe only once it has been released and heard by the public it will be."

Emperor's debut LP 'Dispositions' was one of last years most acclaimed drum & bass albums to have hit the shelves. Leaving a wake of devastation behind it, Emperor returns to re-run three of the fans' favourites with brand new takes on them from Phace, Klax and Ivy Lab. The results are in and as expected they sound so, so good.

marvin horsch debuts on Berlin's FILM with an EP of exquisitely produced, cinematic electronica. the cologne based producer develops the colourful house found on previous work for the dorfjungs la-bel, with three playful compositions that draw as much on jazz and krautrock as more contemporary strains of alternative electronic music. opener 'omnisession#1' marries a beautifully shifting organ with live drum work before segueing into the glorious softness of 'sun after rain,' a rich synth solo drenched in tape hiss. closer 'negobebo#2' wraps up the EP - an energetic, looping recording replete with staccato drum-machine strikes and warm, wet verbs carrying a spirited lead across it's six minute duration. An honest record, open and expertly executed - fukushisha is an admirable addition to the FILM cata-logue.

Producers such as Akcept, Alphadub, Deadroom, Baodub, DTR, Blind Prophet and Bukkha have joined their talents, skills and energy on this special venture.

Making his fifth appearance on the label, Seba gives us a release dripping with emotion and depth. No stranger to Warm Communications, Seba unleashes 'Shades Of Me & You'. Steppy drums, deep bass and commanding vocals all wrapped up in Seba's trademark sound. The flip sees Blu Mar Ten take the reigns on remix duty for Seba's classic 'Never Let You Go'. Keeping the original vocal intact and momentum going, Blu Mar Ten have turned out a fantastic remix. New Rhodes layered on top of a new deadly reese bassline adds to the original euphoric feeling. One for Seba fans and Blu Mar Ten fans alike!

Extraterrestrial Research is the first vinyl release of Canadian label, Deep Sea Mining Syndicate. A multinational effort that brings the Greek artist Cirkle to the spotlight with 5 narrative sci-fi techno tracks. "Kachira's Cave" and "Underwater research" stand out as a classy peak time driving techno, while track "Landing" shows Cirkle s soundscaping abilities in an otherworldly dirge into the abyss. This is a limited 200 run with the finest mastering from Matt Colton at Alchemy. Supported by Sigha and Exium

R&S welcomes ALSO to the family, AKA the pairing of Appleblim (Laurie Osbourne ) and Second Storey (Alec Storey) for their killer EP01. Ever since they first met and bonded over a shared love of Detroit machine rhythms and sleek electronic grooves, the pair have been hard at work on pushing their creative boundaries to the limit, never content to take the easy route - as Laurie explains "if that means broken rhythms, and untraditional melodies then so be it.. There's so many people making sonically 'correct' or refined 4x4 music, we just wanted to explore everything other than that, whilst still keeping the dance floor moving." These heavy studio / live loose jams sessions have borne truly verdant musical fruit in the form of this debut release - opener 'Sid's Conudrum' sets the pulse racing with it's uptempo cyborg funk - juddering bass and bleeping synth squiggles, while 'Ashford Swaithes ' close things out with a heavyweight bass led rhythm - sizzling emotive pads and tripped out hi-freq arpeggios. 'Dive Prophets' close things out with a heavyweight bass led rhythm - sizzling emotive pads and tripped out hi-freq arpeggios. ALSO is pan genre, pan generational, emotive electronic music at its best... truly something special and a fine addition to R&S rich heritage of forward thinking dancefloor sonic artistry.

A Side 'Bubble'
A sweet and experimental journey into some deep and soft electronic dub. expect sub basses and smokey atmosphere, bouncing chords and yes, nodding your head is allowed!

B Side 'Reciprocity'
Every Ying deserves a Yang. Let's plunge yourself on the dancefloor and get the vibes through a huge live congas and percussions rhythm. Beware of the sub frequencies, the bassline won't let you sleep!

What is Amateur Space Jazz One could call it a Lo-Fi Minimal Wavish version of Cosmic Space Jazz and anything closely related to it...from spiritual soul, G-FUNK, ethiopian jazz to ambient and everything in between...no knowledge of musical theory is required...Played with a D.I.Y punk approach on crappy digital synthesizers - preferably with dubious renditions of real instruments. Warmed up to the right temperature with some offbeat effectsbox. Multitracking is a technique widely used...to Create a "one person band with all its members oneself's multidimensional copies in time.".......Comes with a 24 page graphic novel written and drawn by Danny Wolfers himself and a Nightwind Amateur Space Jazz gummy domed sticker.......Let's enter world of Amateur Space Jazz!!!

Welcome to Gully Records' second miscreant missive. Brighton-based badman ETCH stepping up and coming incorrect with the chopped beats to make you screw. To be released on clear hand-numbered 7' vinyl as was deemed appropriate. 'Synapse Cluster' is a proper slo-mo headbanger for the downtempo grunge-hop fan. Deadly dankness. 'Labyrinthian Contours' takes you on a journey of 3 stages. During the 3rd - time is reinvented. Natch. This 7' single is a beautiful piece of work incorporating psychedelic art and cosmic numerology. Look out for his full length double vinyl release on Gully later this year.

This is a collection of works from British musician GP Hall, recorded between 1994 and 1999.
For over four decades, guitar in hand Hall encountered many styles; jazz, blues, flamenco, rock, folk, and classical improvisation. All contributed to the creation of his unique style. Emerging from the British blues boom of the 1960's, he then followed a long and winding path through various scenes and cultures. In Spain, he was Influenced by flamenco master Manitas Del Plata before touring Europe with Liverpool band Casey Jones & the Governors. He was commissioned three times (twice by The Arts Council of Great Britain) for original music and was immersed in the avant-garde scene of the 1970's as an improviser, a pioneer of electric flamenco and a composer of large-scale ensemble pieces. During the 1980's Hall turned his focus to soundtrack music before reinventing himself as the solo performer he is today. With this strong foundation he branched into a tactile expression of his craft, discovering a new style which he called industrial sound sculptures. These sonic compositions are performed on electric and acoustic guitars as well as the six-string bass and are played with various techniques and implements including slides, battery fans, the psaltery bow, razors, toys, Velcro and crocodile clips which are fed through sound processors to create a rich sonic environment.

Eldritch electro-acoustic explorer and uncompromising sound artist Luke Younger aka
Helm presents his first new material since casting the subterranean concrète psychedelia
of his 'Impossible Symmetry' album for PAN across end-of-year lists in 2012 and
petrifying numerable witnesses to his granite-hewn live set.
Issued as a split release between PAN and his own Alter label, 'Silencer' documents
four studio actions conducted in the wake of his renowned LP, charting the alchemical
relationships between base, stripped down rhythms, cruddy electronics and acousmatic
source material manipulated on cassette tapes. The magic of these four tracks lies in the
curious sense of detachment and friction between those fractured, awkwardly reactive
elements, klanging flinty drums against detuned, cryptic synth scrabble and buckled tape
FX to create charged and metaphysically affective atmospheres intended to corrode and
infect your listening space.
The title track follows a tumbling line of inquiry between primal percussive clatter and
salted, scratching synth drones into the boggy, noxious ambience and quaking bass slap
of 'Mirrored Palms', which features a desolate, sustained peal of foghorn brass from John
Hannon of Liberez. In the tunnel of 'Bergamo', effluent rhythms and vapourous brown
gases deliver a cold, claggy soundsphere, with Barrow-based multi-instrumentalist Tom
James Scott contributing metallic scrape to the para-dimensional murk and insectoid
shivers of 'The Haze'.

A young DJ/producer from Brooklyn (Deep Explorer, Finale Sessions) pushing the line where deep house and techno join in emotive rawness. A deep moody selection of movements that suit any occasion as the vibe grows & culminates.

* Bold and fearless, Lynx steps away from the norm to deliver the unheard verses of drum & bass with his rule defying LP, 'I Am Lynx'. After signing to Hospital Records in June 2014, we were given a brief taste of his diversity with the release of his 'Where Are You' EP late last year. Since then Lynx has continued to rattle cages with his unconventional sounds and all-encompassing repertoire. Stocked full of crazed quirks and indefinable styles 'I Am Lynx' raises the bar, deviating from any D+B predictability.
* Best bet is to expect the unexpected, 'Circles' leads the way featuring the infectious, layered vocals of Master X. Followed closely by 'Ghost Train', emitting haunting string sections and bold vocal chop-ups to give a relentless, industrial-sounding insight into the mind of Lynx. 'Clap Track' tears down the walls with reverberated kicks and warped bass waves going hand-in-hand with the attitude exuding 'Drop That'. Soulful and indulgent 'Chord Time' and 'Only She Knows' break away from the rest, showcasing Lynx's diversified style.
* A producer dedicated to uncompromised quality, 'I Am Lynx' shatters stereotypes, showcasing the eccentric and eclectic style Lynx has cultivated from his many years of experience. Hospital Records proudly presents an album that sets Lynx aside from the rest; an unrivalled competitor in the race of the music creators.

Correspondant mainstay, Man Power, returns with his first artist EP for the label since his debut, the "Kiloton EP" back in 2014.
A lot has changed for the artist since Kiloton, with 2015 seeing the release of his self titled Album (also via Correspondant) which not only gained an unprecedented 10/10 in Mixmag, but was also named as one of the Electronic albums of the year by iTunes US.
Additionally, the last year has seen the artist DJ around the world, release original material and remixes for numerous labels, and was capped by his being named as one of XLR8R's best new artists of 2015.
The "Planet Cock EP" represents some of Man Power's most dance-floor directed work to date, veering from the arpeggiated big room techno-funk of "Stunt Cock", to the stuttering analogue stomping of "The Temple", and rounded off by some breaked-up-neo-electro-with-a-middle-eastern-twist () as displayed on "Pig Baron

We are proud to unveil our next vinyl release of 2017 on Dust Audio.

* Mikal takes his first bow for Dust Audio in the form of 'The Spirited EP'. The break and bass craftsman reigns down an assault of almighty weight for the imprint which holds no barred.

* Off the back of his critically acclaimed 'Wilderness' album on Metalheadz, Mikal continues to seek out the dance floor through his precision target and locks on for a serious assault of the senses.* The EP's title track 'Spirited' see's the sinister intro build up and transform into a bass laden drop. The stepping drums and jungle infused shuffles entwine with the ghost vocal, whilst the modulated bass will move even the harshest drum n bass skeptics. Unrelenting throughout.* The flip sees Mikal spread his considerable studio talent over two further tunes of constant surprise.

'Low Note' wastes no time in getting to the drop before you've had chance to take a breath. A thunderous one note bass underpins the mid ranged reece and stabs whilst the chunky drums compliment the tidy percussion nicely. A haunting vocal then sets off another 16 bars of unclouded rawness.* 'Linear' finishes the EP with aplomb. Synth chords open up into what you might expect to be a lovely liquid-esque style roller... think again! Mikal takes that premise and turns it upside down and inside out before bringing the dirty funk. Keeping in line with the 2 tunes before, this isn't for the faint hearted. Definitely one for the drum & bass purest, who may well be dancing, but will also be taking down mental notes!
* Mikal and Dust Audio continue 2017's release schedule in style...

A one-off release here from James and Karl showcasing chunks of their killer live set from a London gig. The A-side is basically a brilliantly executed and bass heavy a re-version of Ruskin's classic track 'Work' alongside the much loved, blunted rhythms of Kalon's (Sandwell District) 'Man Is The Superior Animal'... In stark contrast the B-side is a great intro/outro beatless tool...

Driven by a love of polyrhythms, producer/designer Paul Chin has fine-tuned his approach through beats. Frenzied "War Drums' sit alongside chilled tracks "Home" & "Deep Jupiter", a penetrating remix by Shigeto & hymnic vocals of Johanna Wienholts on "Sha

This is the first volume in a series of release showcasing the analog hardware experiments of Michigan-raised,
New Jersey raised Michael Alan Rogers aka Personator.


Running the gamut from raw, springy machine rhythms propelling the snarls of modular synths to softly pulsating
white noise adorned with lullaby-like melodies, two of the tracks were recordded straight to DAT in the artists studio,
while a third was recorded live at a late night loft party in Chinatown.


Perfect for fans of Hieroglyphic Being, Jahiliyya Fields, Nation, Trilogy Tapes, etc

ussell Haswell strikes bone on this 2-track, 20 minute follow-up to the napalm massage of 'Conceptual nO!se' for Poland's Bocian label, and his fearsome split with Pain Jerk for Editions
Mego. It also marks his return to the catalytic Diagonal imprint after the deviant blatz of his '37 Minute Workout' LP in early 2014, which was hailed at No.11 in The Quietus albums of the year so far. 'Double A' renders Russell at his slyest and most honest, presenting spasmodic, un-edited improvisations belying influence from the pivotal epoch of diamond-cut '80s freestyle, industrial and Detroit techno. Depending on your perspective, they're either splintered, tetchy DJ tools or skeletal nO!se inversions. Either way, they bristle and spark with a compulsive nervous energy and disciplined impulse control that's Haswell to the core: challenging, uncompromising and bloody crucial. On the A-side, 'Foxy' sparks manic hi-hat chatter and bruxist squall masticated with unpredictable intensity, angled and affective like a box of knock-off fireworks hoyed at the 'floor. Stand back and watch 'em scatter. On the flip, the mercurial sleight-of-hand at play in 'One Take Dub No Edit' gestures the hard-ass chops of 12' bonus beats and the show-off breakdown edits of Carlos Berrio or The Latin Rascals. A non-stop, one-shot flashback to a vital time when futurist Latin freestyle and industrial funk were the dancer's choice. The 12' vinyl is due to arrive on Diagonal around the same time as Russell's incredible collaboration with Philip Best's consumer Electronics for Dirter, all surely cementing his position as one of the world's most valued and necessary techno mutants.

Something special from camp Critical as two of electronic music's leading lights lock horns for a Vs battle of epic proportions. Taking the jungle fleck of 'Mind & Spirit' from Sam's 'Wasted Days' LP of last year and one of Breakage's most memorable cuts from way back when (2005), the results are as you'd expect from these two. Utterly essential listening.

collcting orders for repress

Heavier then a ton of bricks and more destructive then Superman's super human strength... Its part 2 of the Crossbreed Definition Series! no 1 was allready a great succes and with this release they're doing it all over again.. this time Counterstrike & Donny have been invited to bring some crossover madness to the table. For the A side the mighty Outside Agency joins forces with Counterstrike for 'My Friends' some big time NL - South Africa connection is going on here as the Counterstrike sounds molds into the darkness of TOA.. They dont make em as hard as these anymore! Then for the B side TOA teams up with Donny for 'Among Us' If you ever had doubts about the hardcore & dnb crossover sound then this is the time to smack yourself for the head with a big wooden stick.. Cause this is will crush, destroy, pulverize and annihilate ANY dancefloor it touches.. On key, off key, whatever itll just smash your face in..

Juan Rico, a.k.a. Reeko and a handful of other aliases, is a consistent and reliable ambassador of a Spanish techno scene that has brought us everything from Oscar Mulero to Tadeo. In his Architectural guise (which is also the name of his personal releasing imprint), Rico has developed a penchant for perfectly interlocking sonic elements and for a structural sensibility that delivers on the promises of advanced engineering implied by his artist's pseudonym. The first result of his new alliance with the Wolfskuil label is a full LP that dispenses with the formalities of 'introducing' listeners to the artist, and simply dives straight in to depths of his active mind.

So just what type of 'architecture' is in store for listeners on this album One immediately gets the impression of something massive and towering, yet open to the elements and with a fascinating view of the surrounding landscape for miles around. This feel comes through especially clear on the opening "Aura", the poignant and chorally inflected "Il Mare," and the closing "Sentir" (in which a voice repeatedly intones "I'm looking down" to emphasize the feeling of being a visitor to a world of imagined architecture). In Rico's imaginary structures you can feel both the wind on your face and the steady, unfaltering pulse of the power grid. This is the case for the remarkably colorful "Lacrimosa," which is powered by a 'vintage futuristic' solo synth singing over a backing chorus of chopped and chattering electric current. It also holds true for "Delicatezza," in which a huge, yawning orchestral swell repeatedly crashes down like ocean waves upon the supporting structure of Rico's techno towers.

These moments of cinematic and climactic beauty would, on their own, be enough material for an outstanding record, but there is still more: tracks like "Sapphire" evince a more straightforward hypnotic techno approach (only relatively speaking, though: in Rico's hands a "straightforward" track is still one that uses atmospheric subtleties, organic effects and a balanced EQ mix to maintain a healthy distance from more conformist exercises.) When Rico truly gives himself room to stretch out - as on the epic "Amour" - he also shows how easily he can turn the challenge of a lengthy track into an opportunity for more innovation and further elaboration of his key concepts. This track acts very much as the centerpiece of the LP, morphing from a scintillating piece of celestial ambience to a busy groove train loaded with a cargo of unexpected percussive and melodic fills.

For listeners who value both lush musical dreamscapes and hard excursions into concrete reality, the new Architectural LP will be the perfect antidote to the conventional album, and a welcome companion for their own journeys into new dreams and realities.

After his recently, well acclaimed Balearic adventures as 'Jane In Palma', DON FROTH makes a welcome return to the WNCL fold. He comes out fighting with the bass and bleep heavy 'HR22', nicely juxtaposed with the equally quirky but altogether more soulful sounds on 'Joint Loose'.Flip to the B side for more jump up adventures with "DOCs" and, by popular demand, his previously bite-sized cut 'A Broad Range' gets extended into a full on acid squelch 'Widescreen Mix' to close the show.

2 bouncing house tracks + 2 locked grooves. Made with love

12' EP wrapped in a poster by designer Giorgio Di Salvo *
* Two years have passed since 'Tregua', Petit Singe's debut on Haunter Records. A key moment for both the label and the artist, it represented Hazina Francia's move out of the shadows, introducing her unconventional taste for hybridization.
* Innumerable gigs and experiences later, Francia's vision and artistic capability have grown richer and broader, leading her to new path. The 5 tracks that compose 'Akash Ganga' are here to testify an unresting spiritual investigation. They construct a sonic scenario that brings her mix of post-club sensibilities, and reminiscences of her native India directly into space, injecting her tabla-led polyrhythms with cinematic sound design.
* Francia's talent for gracious meditative moments is here constantly mutating into unprecedented heavier tones, letting the moments of melodic reverie and those of sheer percussive intensity strengthen each other. All this elements fuel the impressionistic narrative Francia has decided to arrange: mixing elements of her personal biography (like naming one of the tracks after the date her foster parents brought her to Italy from Bengala) with fragments from the history of digital experiences and elements of her eastern heritage.

Tokyo's Sapphire Slows makes her debut for the always impeccable Nous imprint and their new series mundus, with four exquisitely delicate, abstract studies in synthetic science.
.
Opener 'The Role of Purity' is a mesmirising 11 plus minutes that drifts around in its own somnolent, stuporific terrain, gently fusing ambient devices into a seamless soundtrack.

The B side sees a brace of slightly bolshier offerings in the form of 'Speculation' and 'Mallets & Marbles' in which Sapphire Slows allows her machines to feel more mutinous, all the while savouring the sophistication of their euphony. The EP comes to a close with 'Silent Escape' translucently stalking the eerie cosmos of electronica, outwardly tender, inwardly ferocious.

It's been four long years since anything has surfaced from Headhunter, the last being 2011's 'Clone' on the Bristol based Black Box imprint. But label-by-way-of-online blog,TRUSIK has secured two sought-after dubs from the man himself. In our first ever vinyl release, TRUSIK has collected 'Parallels' and 'Stand Alone' in a super limited 300 pressing with appropriately techno-infused psychedelic artwork from our long time collaborator Leftanderson.'Parallels' is a building technoid monster that is armed with pistoning sub-bass dives as acidic 909s percolate through the cryo-mist atmospherics of a long derelict space ship that stills sends out a distress beacon. Quicksilver percussion ratchets up the tension asHeadhunter tastefully affixes Tubby-esque fx to the proceedings.
On the flip 'Stand Alone' is a strident roller with VHS-ripped kung-fu samples alaHorsepower Productions and an even more paranoid perc workout that features filtered amen-breaks, meditative conga patters and rapid fire hi-hat gun fire. A TR-909 menaces at the edges, watching for an opportune moment to strike only to be subsumed by the enveloping, spectral aeriforms.
Both are sure-fire floor killers and a magnificent return to form that made Headhunterthe king of dubstep in the first place.

It's about love, loyalty, family and the start and end of relationships, with an overarching theme about becoming a father, all delivered with warmth and emotion. Miles even sings and so does his eldest son Milo on one track. About the theme he says, we all know the stereotype of the black dad with multiple children from multiple partners who is absent from the child's life, we see it consistently in popular culture. I want to champion the alternative, which to me is just normal.' As well as being a producer Miles is the co-founder of the Boxed nights, which have been a tight incubator of a music scene dedicated in the main to re-thinking and expanding what grime means, especially instrumental grime. Mitch has always taken it further than most in a unique direction, defining his music led by his own personality rather than deferring to a scene consensus. An early example was his development of 'peace edits' in response to the aggressive 'war dubs' craze amongst other grime producers, around the time of his first album. Production-wise Mr. Mitch has always been a minimalist at heart, pushing detailed sound and melody around in space, but on Devout everything is more ambitious, emotive and polished, taking his music in an epic and well defined pop direction, albeit from a sideways angle, re-imagining what an album by an underground producer can be. Devout's cast of male and female allies, MC's and singers each deliver songs that cast perspective around the album's theme. Mr. Mitch sets the scene with the graceful honesty of the piano led intro, then P Money drops a heartfelt and emotional lyric about the charge of love and responsibility experienced on becoming a dad. Denai Moore's song 'Fate' is open about being sceptical in allowing yourself to fall for someone at the start of a relationship, while Palmistry's track 'VPN' explores his feelings after separation. The warm centre of 'Devout' is 'My Life's heart-tugging Sakamoto-like melody and bent keys, with Miles gently intoning It's yours' and final song 'Oscar' tells a newborn his brother will be an elder brother. Devout is a beautiful, grown-up pop record with its foundation in grime.

It's time for the Procurator! Hyperdub is happy to announce the first release from Edinburgh born and bred producer Proc Fiskal - otherwise known as Joe Powers. Like a Scottish relation to the recent faster Grime productions Lewisham MC Novelist has coined 'Ruff Sound', Proc Fiskal ups the energy of the stark cubist rhythms of the early Grime of Wiley and Ruff Sqwad by accelerating and retooling them to fit the faster 160bpm grid, engineering a delirious hybrid that also subtly makes explicit the relationship between Grime and Jungle and Happy Hardcore. The EP starts with '£', which is the most classically 'Grime' sounding of the tracks, with 8 bar switches, chord stabs, sino-motifs and a bassline that ripples underneath. 'Lamentation' combines airy swing, rolling percussion and chunky dubwise bouncing bass that recalls Digidub. 'Skulka' opens up the flipside with surreal whizzing, wheezing and gunshots, dropping into a rolling melodic bassline and caffeinated strings. 'Acidic Hoes' has a bassline that bubbles and warps with an airy melody whirling over the top and incidental coughs and sword clashes. Proc Fiskal's debut EP is joyfully aggressive and an energetic contrast to the slowing down of most contemporary Grime, plus it mixes into Footwork really well too.

The title track features Boston based female singer songwriter Saucy Lady (well known for hit singles 'Touch It Rahaan Remix' and 'On The Floor').
Disco Town U-key "Do The Right Thing" puts a neo soul re twist on the title track by Japan's hot producer Yuki Monolog.
The EP contains both "Instrumental" and "Raw Vocal" mixes of down tempo, funk groover "Losing Streak" and a crossover into a more raw form of Tom's funk comes by way of the guitar driven and funky keys of "Live it Up".

"Kosmos Gets Harder" series brings a new alternative sound of the label and shows dark sides of the artists you might thought you knew. Tougher, harder, banger!

Following the release of their second LP on Ram Records, Calyx & TeeBee return after a brief hiatus with brand new music. 1x1 was met with critical acclamation from press through to radio, heralded as another monumental addition to their discography.
With tracks being featured across Radio1, as well as premiered on the world's biggest stages at EDC and SW4, the pair have received a legendary status. But after a collection of vocal-lead cuts sung by Calyx, they've decided to bring their sound back down to the underground.

Amazing debut album by Copenhagen based Delayscape.

Das aus Kanada stammende und in New York residierende House-Duo Bob Moses veröffentlicht Mitte September sein lang erwartetes Debütalbum "Days Gone By"! Nach dem von der Kritik außerordentlich positiv aufgenommenen Compilation-Album "All In All", welches vor einigen Monaten ebenfalls auf Domino erschien, wird das heiß erwartete Debütalbum zehn brandneue Tracks enthalten. "Days Gone By" versteht es vorzüglich gemächlich, sowie auch kraftvoll zu verführen, nimmt sich Zeit und hat über Albumlänge verteilt einige raffinierte Überraschungen parat. Der so balancierende Tanz zwischen Mann und Maschine bedarf natürlich einer behutsamen Ausführung und ist doch gleichzeitig Bob Moses' mutige Expedition in einem Raum der verschleierten Stimmungen und zeitlosen Introspektive. Bob Moses gingen aus der New Yorker Underground Electronic Dance Szene um das Marcy Hotel Kollektiv hervor, wo sie u.a. mit Künstlern wie Soul Clap, Wolf + Lamb und Nicolas Jaar verkehrten. Ihre Live Erfahrungen sammelten sie so nicht selten bei Auftritten in verlassenen Brooklyner Lagerhallen.

"For this EP, South-African born Jason Beukes aka Escapism Refuge lands on London's Smokin' Sessions for the label's 2nd release of 2017. Continuing the label's legacy of atmospheric electronic beats, Beukes has crafted a set of tracks which take influence from producers such as Synkro, Phaeleh and Burial, but which look to the future of this sound through use of updated production techniques and a more expansive sound palette.Following on from Red Lights EP, this release will feature a selection of tracks - each a different take on the subtle and mesmerizing 140bpm sound Escapism Refuge is becoming known for.Beukes' personal influences - from Radiohead, through Aphex Twin, to De La Soul - are all evident here. On the A1, 'Joker' channels a neo-soul vibe through its use of soft, steelpan-like pads and whirling strings. 'No Signal' on the B1 feels spacey and free, yet with an underlying tension created by the track's constantly changing chord progression. B2 'Red Lights' uses a catchy synth line and powerful drums to create an uplifting finish to the release.Escapism Refuge's previous efforts have gained impressive DJ support from across the scene, from figures such as Gilles Peterson at BBC Radio 6 Music, Lefto, Joe Kay at Soulection and Dom Servini at Wah Wah 45s."

A master of crafting complex, intelligent, original productions, 2016 sees Flume return to the spotlight with the much anticipated 'Skin' album, via Transgressive Records. 'Skin' features such global superstars as Beck, Vic Mensa and the UK's own AlunaGeorge. Lead track 'Never Be Like You' (featuring Kai) roared to the top of the Australian singles charts and has gone on to become a genuine global hit.

Roots In Heaven is a Berlin-based act that could very easily capitalize on his past accomplishments within the world of intrepid electronic music. As a label owner, resident DJ at cutting-edge clubs, and accomplished solo artist behind a number of conceptually unique full-length albums, the conceiver of this project won't likely need any introduction to the intrepid fans of electronic music. As an extension of this artist's already solid commitment to deep sound, Roots in Heaven represents a new voyage without the help of biographical cues to his listeners: hidden behind an evocative mesh mask lined with obsidian feathers, Roots in Heaven ignores the need to provide 'social proof' or self-justification. He communicates purely through the language of concentrated sensory impression, for which reason he has titled his debut, 'Petites Madeleines,' after one of the most memorable descriptive sequences in literary history (the famous meditation on the madeleine from Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu). Built on a chassis of pure analog electronics, unaided by computers, 'Petites Madeleines' presents a single sprawling track whose immersive, meditative quality initiates participants into a realm of reversed energy currents. Using a sonic technique which, for example, drapes the listener in darkness until it becomes light (and vice versa), this piece provides a pervasive feeling of other realities opening up that complement the already familiar. The looped pulses and frequency sweeps hover and expand with all the assuredness of, say, early-'70s Cluster, but without anything consciously 'retro' or overtly referential in their presentation.

Bold, exuberant, expansive re-charting of the same neck of the sleng-teng invasion as vintage Jahtari and Tapes.
The Upsetter meets Raymond Scott meets Horsepower Productions... on a writhing, pinging bed of Spaghetti Western... at the synthy grassroots of Library.
Tremendously enjoyable, next-level stuff from Seekers.

Rising Melbourne-based producer Thrupence releases his latest creative piece, Ideas of Aesthesis, featuring track 'Rinse Repeat', guest feature from Wafia and his brother Edward Vanzet

* 2017 is set to be a defining year for the Addictive Behaviour imprint. Over the past few months the label has truly found its sound and is dishing it out relentlessly in the months ahead with multiple parties lining up alongside some boundary pushing music. Their second release of the year sees the predominantly tech-roller outfit return to vinyl ventures with a 3 track wax EP of epic proportions, mysteriously titled 'New Age Myths'.

* First up on the release roster is the illustrious Kyrist with her cryptic tale 'The Drifted'. Opening with some incredible atmospherics you are instantly transported to an unknown land, like a ship that's sailed into hostile territories. The cinematic production builds momentum before fading out with a haunting crash. Suddenly, out of the void creeps an intricate drum pattern with sharp synths cutting through, catapulting us into new realms. The sound design in this track is extraordinary, switching and fluctuating with every bar, captivating to the very end.

* Next in this chronicle is 'Basilisk'. A collaboration from recent Addictive production trilogy Data 3 and relative newcomers Revaux. 'Basilisk' entices you in with eerie vibes. A trickle of rasping hats and shuffles alongside airy pads swimming under the filtered surface. Then a human like cry fades out to introduce fierce bass and kick drums as this monster rears its heavy head. The track pulsates along with ferocity, the rhythm constantly flowing. You'll find it hard not to give this roller the old D&B head nod. It's sure to be shaking the foundations of dance floors over the coming months.
* The final chapter is told by Mystic State featuring the gritty talents of MC Tension on the mic. 'Blurred Vision' creeps in slow and stealth-like before chopping in a heavy kick-snare beat. Then it's over to the sharp tongued Tension to give it that murky vocal lick. "It's action re-action, reload the ammo to obtain satisfaction" And satisfaction is bang on the money here, as we drop in to subby, gravelly basslines and hard edged drums that will make you want to reload this one for another dose of pure fire. Hard hitting expertly crafted D&B, the perfect fix for any addict.

* The 'New Age Myths EP' is a musical chronology that sounds like it's been sent straight from the future. It brings together a pedigree of young talent, all of which are destined to become big in the game. To celebrate this joint effort release, Addictive are throwing a launch party for the EP on Good Friday.

* Having closely followed his music since day dot, we are very pleased to welcome Xtrah to Dispatch for a debut solo release, the highly anticipated 'Disturbance EP'.

* Coveted for his own distinctive twist on the techier side of drum & bass, Xtrah's technical skill is unrivalled, but his impeccable control sets him out from the crowd; taunting and playfully manipulating sounds, even amongst the darkest, most sinister of vibes.

* Building up a serious back catalogue in recent years, he has blessed Dispatch with some memorable, yet cameo roles to date, most recently with 'Direct Approach' alongside DLR for our first ever Dispatch Dubplate 12.

* The 'Disturbance EP' is his biggest release with us so far and is well worth the wait, including six original tracks, that have blown us away right from the off; all of which have been a staple of Ant TC1 sets in recent months.

* Featuring some of Xtrah's most demanded tracks such as 'Tibetan Funk' (first aired by Mefjus on BBC Radio 1) and the mighty 'Babylon Shall Fall', fresh collaborations also appear on the EP, with Mako, on the bass throbbing 'Purple Skies' and Hybris & Skulpture, for relentless tech funk foray, 'Fragments'.

* A quintessential release for any discerning Dispatch follower, Xtrah delivers an outstanding EP, hitting hard with a special touch of class.
