Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

In an explosion of genre-bending crossover creativity, Texas-born, Brooklyn- based William Rauscher aka Night Plane claims our very first release. Since we first met William in 2010 we've watched his production talent flourish into what we proudly present to you today in 2012, the dance-floor approved Heartbeat EP. Showcasing William's guitar-driven dreamy indie-house style with vocal contribution from longtime hometown friend Casey Gibbs, this EP covers a wide range of Night Plane's repertoire. On 'Heartbeat' William delivers gritty punk-rock break-beat house, while Casey shoots for the moon channelling his inner Mick Jagger. The result is a call-and response seduction that will makes you feel extra tough in your leather. 'Gold Soundz' pairs William up with his CCC label partner DJ Harry Bennett, for a soaring and epic cover of the 90's alternative rock band Pavement. Smiles at sunrise for this late summer anthem that reminds us of teenage angst and long lost high-school crushes. Vocal stylings are courtesy of Heather D' Angelo from the band Au Revoir Simone. We love the dialled back tempo of 'Foreign Affairs", which set William and Casey drifting along again, this time in slow motion. A guest remix from our dear friends Wolf + Lamb on Gates Of Dawn (Wolf + Lamb Remix) features Heather D' Angelo once again, rounding out this EP with big drums and a Brooklyn attitude.

Papik is the project created by Nerio Poggi, Rome based musician, composer, producer and arranger who's been
getting a lot of positive response from the international Nu-Jazz / Jazz Lounge scene lately. His first album from
2009, 'Rhythm Of Life', included the song 'Staying For Good', sung by Alan Scaffardi, which became and still is a
hit of the genre. His collaboration with various artists, among which Mario Biondi in his albums 'Handful of soul'
and 'I love you more', brought him to produce in 2011 also the albums by Ely Bruna 'Remember The Time' and
Fred Buccini 'Unusual Nat'. Both are themed cover projects and obtained a great market feedback. On this new
'Music Inside' the lead vocals are again by Parma based Alan Scaffardi, official image of the band, together with
Nerio himself and Ely Bruna. Other featured vocalists are: Wendy D. Lewis, US singer very popular in Italy, due
to collaborations with Jestofunk, Mario Biondi, Ivana Spagna and Irene Grandi; Dagmar Segbers, German jazz
singer, Clizia Aloisi and Paco Di Maso. The firt single from the album will be 'Puzzle Of Life', sung by Ely Bruna,
already picked by Japanese fashion brand Gallardagallante as music theme for their 2012 campaign. Japan is in fact
a territory where Papik is extremely popular and will perform on 6th May at the legendary Tokyo Blue Note. The other
musicians involved in the tour and the album project are: Alfredo Bochicchio on guitar, Pierpaolo Ranieri on bass,
Fabio Tullio on sax, Massimo Guerra on trumpet, Marco Rovinelli on drums. Papik is quite well known in the UK
too! English singer Jason Donovan, with a Top Ten career behind him, thank to hits like 'Too man broken hearts'
or 'Especially for you' in duet with Kylie Minogue, has chosen a song penned by Nerio Poggi and Ely Bruna, 'Sign
of your love', as main tune on his come-back album by the same title, out on Universal worldwide in March 2012.
That song is also featured on this new Papik album, sung by Alan Scaffardi. Among the rest of the tracks on the
album also three covers 'Family Affair' (Mary J Blige), 'Black & Gold' (Sam Sparro) and 'Raccontami di te' (Bruno
Martino).

Dusty Baron aka Latecomer may be a recent arrival on the scene, but he plays like a true veteran. A mysterious export from the around same eastern latitudes as label boss Vakula, his music, much like V's, sounds just as rooted in the post Soviet Russian landscape as it is in the post industrial North America which gave rise to all the soul and machine funk that is the driving inspiration for so many of today's roots conscious electronic artists.

Vakula takes the controls on Side A with dubwise and exotic production skills whilst Side B showcases The Baron's heavy heavy chops, with drum programming as deft as his keys work, and a sound which is equal parts earthly and heavenly. Sides C & D (on bonus 7") see V step up to offer two takes on 'Follow Shot', continuing the theme of techno tinged jazz cosmism.

A noble introduction, by way of collaboration, to the Dusty Baron and his sound; and yet another installment in Leleka's continuing contribution to the musical space time continuum.

What exactly has happened to all the Chillout Floors Once being an indispensable place for cozy hangouts and relief at every good party, they calmly dissipated in the last decade. They were eventually replaced with second and third floors, all with the same standardized 'four to the floor' sound without attitude. And now Noom Café come with an album that sounds like being made in the best times of the Chillout Era. Is there a Chillout revival coming upon us For Noom Café this is not the question. They live for relaxed beats and low key soundscapes ever since. Their new Album 'Beyond Time, released by the Frankfurt label 'Elux', is like a fresh breeze on a Balearic evening in summer. Within the first minutes of the albums opener 'Baracoa', the listener gets a very clear impression of the musical quality of Noom Café. Acoustic instruments and swinging beats, like in 'Blue Sky',melt into electronic pads and reverberant vocal samples. In this manner Noom Café are creating their very own world, far away from the hectic of everyday life. Anyhow, a day at the beach touches on more than just sunshine. 'Beyond Time' takes the listener away from the worn out paths of the genre and sends him on a journey to darker sound realms. Reminiscences of Dubstep and Deephouse ('The Awakening (Next Day Mix)') are as well audible as the exuberant and almost progressive moments of 'Glass' und 'Stormy Beach.' Electric and experimental beats take control over the second half of the longplayer and guide the listener into the night just to smoothly embrace him again with the jazzy closing track 'Don't Fall Asleep'.Altogether 'Beyond Time' is much more than a typical chillout album. Noom Café takes you to their very own beach and it is a pleasure to share this voyage with them.

Enzo Elia has been at it again, hard at work in the studio producing his next batch of Balearic Gabba Edits for Hell Yeah Rec. - the fourth in the series. Reception for the project so far has been great, with the likes of Prins Thomas, Sean Johnston, Tim Sweeney, Oskar Hofferman amongst the many fans, whilst Quiet Village have already been caning the A2 from this new instalment. The three tracker kicks off with Psycho Team's - 'Hypno' (Enzo Elia Barini Edit) - in its original form first released back in 1989 on Dance and Waves - and is all about restrained rave chord stabs, a crunchy amen break and layers of found sounds right from some basement party as the sound of voices and whistles are buried somewhere in the background behind intense drums and infectious finger clicks: a classy peak time floor filler and no mistake. And so to Quiet Village's favourite, also from 1989, Psycho Team's - 'Psycho' (Enzo Elia That Morning Edit) which is a much more delicate and moody affair. Watery synths ring out in all directions as gentle melodic rains falls down the face of the harmonised arrangement. Eventually a frazzled synth line takes the lead as strings dart about in the background but never do the knife-edge emotions dissipate. Last but not least is Endangered People - 'So I Want to Say (Ta Ta Ta') (Enzo Elia Ultra Dub edit) which was originally released in 1995 on Mantra Vibes. In the hands of Enzo the track is paired down to a bubbling sonic stew of taught synth lines, analogues bubbles and gurgles and icy percussion. It's a primordial soup of sound that doesn't drop or breakdown, but instead percolates and builds slowly for 7 odd minutes until ending up as a marching techno beat straight from the ruins of Detroit.

Drei Jahre ist das Label nun alt. Im Dezember 2009 ins Leben gerufen, sind wir nun nach insgesamt elf Veröffentlichungen bei unserem Jubiläum angelangt. Die Nummer zehn kommt im passenden 10inch Format. Und wieder ist ein neuer Künstler mit an Bord. Essáy heißt der gute Mann und kommt aus Heidelberg. Die zwei fantastischen Remixe von Nocow und Desolate sind ein schönes Dankeschön der beiden Ausnahmekünstler. Die Vocals kommen von der Norwegerin Ida Dillan. Vinyl tastes better...

Ney Faustini completes the half-dozen on Foul & Sunk, celebrating the dawn of the dark season with an EP whose three pieces will provide relaxation, energy and joy on the dance floors. Born and raised in the Brazilian metropolis of Sao Paolo, Faustini begins his biography with fast music and broken beats, before his path led him to deep, bouncing house music. Maybe it's the British bass music, maybe it's the endless view over his city to the Atlantic Ocean that he used as a source of inspiration for this loosely woven, barely tangible tapestry of sound, that lines the background of his three pieces "Sleepless", "The Name Of The Game "and" No More Chances". This giving the EP its meditative character, Faustini reinforces it all with prancing percussion on "No More Chances", as well as warm piano and organ keys in the background of "The Name of the Game". But the "Sleepless EP" doesn't limit itself to head dance music: an organic bass groove flows through all three pieces, stimulating our energy cycle with pulsating pressure. This comes to its full potential in the eponymous title track, and is truly the motto of Foul & Sunk: Quality music for your dancefloor.

Back in 2007, a track titled 'Mini Man' was released by a stranger to the audience 18 year old artist named Alex Dimou. The title might have been the best one to describe the person behind the track, the mini man, a kid with such a passion and will to demand a place in the grown up's world. And he made it. 'Mini Man' charted 7 out of 9 tracks included in the release, something that could not pass unnoticed from the Tech house community.

Anders Trentemøller presents Dorit Chrysler and 'Avalanche', a haunting, evocative EP on his In My Room imprint! The two first met when Anders asked Dorit for her theremin play on his recent album 'Into The Great Wide Yonder'. Dorit also joined Anders on stage at his remarkable perfomance at the Roskilde festival in 2010 (which has been captured in the 'Silver Surfer, Ghots Rider Go!!!' video) as well as on Trentemøller's live tour through the USA last year. Dorit Chrysler, the celebrated composer, musician, and first lady of the theremin, delivers a stunning four-tracker of her rich, intricate and emotional music. The lead song 'Avalanche' combines a deep electronic pulse with Dorit's signature smoky delivery, and her exceptional theremin flourishes - an immense slow motion explosion. Trentemøller supplies the sublime production throughout the EP - providing the stand-out analog bass groove on 'Forbidden Fruit', which also showcases the immense vocal talents of collaborator Marie Fisker. The next song is just as impressive -'Winter Glow' is perhaps the poppiest moment here, coupling a new-wave synth groove with a pretty, ethereal vocal hook and the ever-present, beautifully restrained theremin - the bizarre, enchanting electronic instrument Dorit has mastered. 'Swamp Behind My House' closes out the release, another deep and cinematic slice of electronic grace, which along with the rest of the EP, is sure to win over a new audience to Dorit's immense charms. Trentemøller (DJ) & Dorit Chrylser (live) wil both perform at the CPH:DOX event on November 12th, in Copenhagen to present the new EP.

After all efforts were put into Jacob Korn's debut album during summer 2012 Uncanny Valley strikes back with namesake Jacob Stoy and his very first solo EP after his S51 for the UV010-compilation. Everything starts with Redensart, a sunny piece of music with a sneaky bassline and easy synth pads that come across like a warm rain shower: It's House in the end but feels like so much more. Hauswart is an impressive example of how one can create a whole atmosphere of sound within two minutes. It's short but feels so comfortable that you really like it to go on and on forever. Start is maybe the most conventional Deep House track on the EP and seduces with catchy synth chords and thrilling drums. Finally Gegenwart brings things to a jazzy end with tipsy synths and tripping percussions. The artwork comes from none other than Jacob's father Olaf Stoy, who is a painter, lyricist and porcelain designer still working in Jacob's hometown Rabenau near Dresden.

Presenting Roberto Auser's new independent label, Future Exotica is a very original and excellent sounding take on the Westcoast Cocadisco sound. A real Roberto Auser signature sound in a high quality. With previous releases on Viewlexx, Bearfunk and others, this one appears limited to 300 and comes in a carefully designed, beautifully silkscreened and hand numbered artwork by the man himself. In all, a product of pure passion! (First 50 get free poster!) Check out the sickest blend of dark Tribal Exotica and Monkey Voodoo around...

The last release of the year reveals a significant capture for boe in the form of Soul 223, a seasoned producer with releases on Delsin and Souljazz under his belt as well as having a significant pedigree releasing as Stasis on Peacefrog in the Ninetees. Eastern Promise is a fine balanced EP covering deep sample based jams, spacey disco grooves and sunshine laden strings. Age Of Peace is a quirky cut with loose shakers and light percussion over a slap bass and soft warm chords. It has a catchy harmony that seems to pick up energy with only subtle changes. It's topped off with some crazy synth FX lead work to round into something reminiscent of Herbert and Moodymann combined. Wide Open Spaces is well textured and deep. A gorgeously put together bassline, sweeping chords cushioned by cavernous reverb and crunchy disco beats make this a real late night groover. As an added twist the cut breaks down to finish and morphs into a hip hop skit to mix things up a bit. On the flip side, Hand In Hand is an instant Balearic classic with loose drums and a string pattern drenched in sunshine and golden sand. The strings sweep in and out as subtle voice samples add depth to the harmony. In Motion is a simple but incredible catchy rolling groover. It's relentless bongo pattern and snappy snares and kick are infections to the core as the drums roll on and the sweeping chord stabs come in. It's non-stop and psychedelic, it pulls you in with the faintest of effort and you finally come to as the track eases out into the fade leaving you wanting more. The EP finishes off with the Hand In Hand (Reprise), using the same strings as its parent cut but with more FX to make it a great DJ tool.

Andrey Burtaev aka Electrosoul System is one of the most popular and successful Russian drum & bass
producers. He started his career in the beginning of 00's and was immediately noticed by legendary LTJ Bukem,
who signed some ESS tracks on his Good Looking and Cookin' labels. During last 10 years Andrey released
dozens of EPs on world's best imprints - such as Hospital, Subtitles, Soundtrax, Fokuz, Ketama Records, as well
as his very own Kos.Mos.Music.
Fish Eat Duck is a long-awaited debut artist album by Electrosoul System. Andrey worked on this LP for several
years, and some music critics have already compared Fish Eat Duck with albums by Shpongle and Youth,
because it's not just a compilation of tracks, it's a story running for 80 minutes - with its prologue, culmination
and conclusion. The album includes tracks, influenced by different genres of music - such as drum & bass, jungle
or breakbeat, as well as some dub music with beautiful ethnic elements and structures.

Sam Willis is set to release his debut solo album 'Winterval' via Half Machine Records on November 5th on cadmium red vinyl and digital download.

With his constantly evolving sonic identity and ever increasing output quality, it is no wonder that Filterwolf's new album has been eagerly anticipated by club-goers, homelisteners and aficionados thirsty for unique and original sound in their headphones. His third album derives its name from political revolutions engulfing entire world, as well as musical direction with which the personal creative revolution of Filterwolf had started."Viva la Rave" is surely his most immediate and sensual record to date. Filterwolf wanders across outer edges of house and techno realm on this album, scoping out where boundaries have been erected and looking beyond them to aural vistas previously uncharted. Across the twelve tracks of "Viva La Rave", he takes us on an intense, supreme journey. His magnificent production finesse displays in a smashing tour de force, showing off his natural understanding of the dance floor. This raw sound energy will inevitably keep crowds moving in the coming months and years. Tracks like "No Gravity" or "Pon De Leo" sway in persistent and deeply rhythmical motion, conveying beautiful imagery painted with Filterwolf's hypnotic brush strokes. Others tracks, such as "Iguana", "Olympia" and "Zeros And Ones" draw us into awesome acoustic tapestries with gorgeous melodies and sprawling, synth- and sample-heavy effervescence of sound. Sonic hallmarks of Filterwolf's style are edgy and euphoric resonances, which make this longplayer sound full of lust for life and bursting with verve. "Viva La Rave" sets out to further extend the limits of house and techno genre and situates itself where electronic music deviates from expectations. The result is deep, vivacious and ultimately, something new.

Pachanga Boys Present: We Are Really Sorry A Roadtrip from Cologne to Cheesetown, Boottown, Coffeetown and back again. Narrated by the truly fantastic Dessagne Twins from Saint-Etienne After a couple of humble appearances on Kompakt Total compilations and the first trilogy on their own label Hippie Dance which was made out of marimbas, rhymes, time and a mysterious girl named Christine, Pachanga Boys look back in their own history to present their first full-lenght album, an exhaustive recollection of their adventures on and off the road while finding their way to true Pachanga enlightenment... But first, they want you to know that they're really sorry.ÊA psychedelic Western Disco Audio Book was quite clearly the obvious format choice for a tale this colourful, this entrancing, this irresistable, and that's what the Boys - knowing what they know - wanted the experience to be. Formed by Superpitcher and Rebolledo, this tag team is famous for bending time and space, with the boys balancing exotic spices with hearty flavours, enticing any old mood rebel to take a big bite of happiness. Feeling inspired by old country and folk records, they also opted for a narration to link the album tracks, performed by the truly fantastic Dessagne Twins from Saint Etienne. Together with the masterfully staged music, those two give you first-hand impressions of the Pachanga Boys' everyday life spent between Cologne and La Pitaya from 2009 to 2012, a life consisting of big city nights and mountain weekends, strange markets, dubious cantinas and powerful rivers, riding bikes and driving around in German cars. Old machines, a wide range of percussions, vocals and field recordings form the sound palette of this simple story true to the Hippie Dance ethos: freedom before anything and everything goes. Here some testimonies: ÊOnce upon a time, on a sunny day in the beautiful country of Mexico, we found ourselves on the backseat of the Pachanga Mobile... Cruising around the moutains around Xalapa, taking a ride to Boottown, having a snack at Cheesetown and taking a sip at Coffeetown... Aksel put his sunglasses on, Rebolledo turned his superfancy car soundsystem on... After that we can't remember anything... Just a trippy hypnotic outerspace experience throughout hippie claps and dance vibes. We came out of the car not knowing our names anymore and thinking "are these guys humans "... The Pachanga Boys said : "We are really sorry". But we said "Thanks... for everything". - Saschienne Ê When normal people just seeÊYOU,Êthe Pachanga Boys seeÊDOUBLE YOU.ÊThat's right,ÊME is good, but DOUBLE ME is truly fantastic. Dear Pachanga Boys, the Twins were born under your era and, like a prophet, will still be spreading your superfancy stories around the world (even after you retire to Las Vigas). - Julienne & her Truly Fantastic Dessagne Twin from Saint-Etienne Ê If I met a stranger from another planet right now and he would ask me "what is the most exciting and mind-blowing music on earth", I would tell him "listen to this : Pachanga Boys,ÊWe are really sorry, made in the year twenty twelve". And when I would meet him again a few years later, I'm sure he would tell me "you were right... Pachanga Boys... A possible future." Anonimous

At the time of releasing his debut album Prins Thomas was handling all the instruments his self. Nevertheless the idea allways existed to put together a proper band - consisting of professionals, but basically more like friends and friends of friends. Just for no other reason than having fun and jaming along like in the 'old days". And eventually ... the sparkling Prins Thomas Orkester was a result of this work. The tracks on the øVING EP are all reworks of the old back catalouge, recorded almost live in maximum two takes: slangemusikk, uggebugg and sauerkraut from the debut album - transformed into snake music, hamar bluesklubb and 'surkål". The last track Aril Moen is a new version of the 12 morfar. The whole thing got mixed by no other than Todd 'Terje' Olsen and mastered to perfection by Chris Sansom at Propeller Studios. You`ll be the judge to whether Prins Thomas Orkester succeeded - we surely enjoy it and quite much so!

The same people behind Emotional Rescue launch as fine sister imprint in the shape of Emotional Rescue, with a near perfect insight into how the label will operate thanks to Nzambi - a quite stunning full length album from Jason Letkiewicz under his Alan Hurst moniker. If you consider yourself an avid purchaser of vinyl, you will no doubt have added some Letkiewicz heat to your collection in recent times, with excellent releases as Steve Summers and Innergaze in recent times. The Alan Hurst project sees the Brooklyn producer in more laid back form, indulging his passion for library sounds and experimental electronics with just as much aplomb. Allegedly commissioned to soundtrack a film on modern Haitian Voodoo, Nzambi is a woozily intoxicating thirteen track set that opens your senses to a true darkness in this producer's palette of sounds that's not really been explored before.

the most popular Alexey's songs, was remixed by Cantoma, Sunchase and The Sushi Club exclusively for Ketama

a correction is the new album from Fieldhead and continues the dusty, bereft sounds of previous releases - they shook hands for hours (Home Assembly 2009) and riser (Gizeh 2010).
2010 saw Paul Elam depart the UK for Vancouver, Canada and there is no doubt that the vast Northern Candian landscapes have influenced the new Fieldhead material. The familiar tape hiss, scratchy, decaying atmospheres remain in place but with a correction Elam has managed to sculpt a vaster, more expansive palate of sounds. Minimalistic on first listen, a correction is a record which slowly unfurls on multiple listens to reveal subtle melodies and details that don't distract from the overal ambience but in fact set apart Fieldhead's music from many other, safer artists within the genre.
The violin of Elaine Reyolds (The Boats / The Sea) adds a warmth to the sometimes desolate atmospheres and the almost contant pulse that remains throughout the record invites you be lost for the duration and even hints at more minimal techno direction at times.
Previous comparisions of Fieldhead's work have been made to the likes of William Basinski, The Caretaker and Grouper, which in truth are not far from the mark. It's fair to say Elam has already stamped his name in the ambient / drone field with his previous outputs and a correction should further enhance his reputation as someone who can seemlessly marry soundscapes and melody to form an enchanting, almost timeless piece of music.

Satte acht Jahre ist es her, daß MICHAEL MAYER sein Debut-Album 'Touch' veröffentlichte, doch niemand wird Kompakts Labelchef in der Zwischenzeit mangelnde Präsenz attestieren wollen: der Terminkalender bleibt zum Bersten befüllt mit DJ-Gigs und Remix-Aufträgen. Deshalb erfreut es Kompakt umso mehr das neue Album MANTASY vorstellen zu dürfen, ein langersehntes, dringend notwendiges Update des Mayer'schen Klangkosmos und ein essentielles 2012er Release für das Label.

Tempelhof are Italian's Luciano Ermondi and Paolo Mazzacani, a very musical duo who have already released a much-respected full length on Distraction Records and several well received remixes. Now they debut with a four track EP on the ever-original Hell Yeah Recordings and continue to confound expectations with their pairing of electronica's precision with shoe-gazes textures and plenty of real instrumentals. ove -An Interpretation is the EP's mournful opener. Sparse and alone, it trills with haunting guitar notes as the rueful vocal swims in seas of echo and reverb. Around the mid-way point a cosmic beat kicks in and carries the whole arrangement off into space with twitchy electronics and acid rumbles colouring the background. Glorious Day opens with more thin, vulnerable keys and plenty of echo. The rubbery kick drums comes in immediately here as harmonic notes ring out and rise up toward the sky. It's hurt but optimistic and invites you to get lost in its glistening, swirling synth clouds for five day-dream like minutes.

Brooklyn's own returns with this LTD 7" from his second album, inspired by sunny days; positive sonic vibes from all over the globe.

Seahawks return once again with a supremely psychedelic dip into the ocean of sound. 'Aquadisco' was originally conceived as a 2 track 12' but spun out of control by a fast moving cyclone developed into an epic double vinyl journey to the depths.

It's not easy to put a tag on the kaleidoscopic sound contained within although 'Sun Ra jamming with Level 42 on a Caribbean Yacht produced by Conny Plank' comes close.
Spaced out aquatic afro jazz, interstellar lilo funk and new age disco are just a few of the ports of call.
A concept album of sorts, 'Aquadisco' imagines a time when instead of fleeing into space to avoid calamity, mankind is relocated deep beneath the waves.
'In the clubs there's a new sound...it reminds people of when they used to live on the surface, when they could go to real beaches and feel the warmth of the sun, taste the salt and feel the breeze in their hair. Now there are beaches under the oceans, in the vast pyramids where cities have been built there is everything you need but it's not the same....there are forests, rivers and sky....and of course nightclubs where people go to dream as they listen to the soft throb and warm tones they call Aquadisco'.
Time to take a trip into the deep.

Just imagine you're in......let's say Ibiza...... watching the sunrise over your favourite secret beach - this should probably be the soundtrack. One time pressing of 500 copies
