Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

Blue Marbled Vinyl

Singelsided, marbeld 160gr vinyl, limited to 150
It was in June of 1980. After a long and intense journey through time and space, Rupert Marnie met spiritual highness Frater loannis and became his apprentice. The Magus told him invaluable things, like controlling his precious bodily fluids and the holistic mastery of others' endocrine glands. The greatest wisdom though reached him on his seventh day, when Frater loannis professed him an an-cient ritual that would allow him to meet the Titan Ufohagen, also known as CDboy. It was the 4th, when he appeared, dressed in a long, slim silk cloak, a sprinkling wand in his right. Rupert stood in awe, immediately losing his newly gained fluid control, and started crafting a piece of music, that would remind mankind that not all is lost, as long as there is almighty Ufohagen.

This release sees Mark Archer raiding the Altern8 vaults to find previously unreleased material he produced in 1992 under his DJ Nex moniker, and pairing it with a new track he's written specially for the release. Limited to only 500 copies on vinyl - not available on any other format.

Biog: Mark Archer crashed into the UK charts in 1991 with Altern8's hardcore anthems Infiltrate 202 and Activ-8 (Come With Me). Since then he released further hits both in the clubs and in the charts (both as one half of Altern8 and in his later projects like Slo Moshun), put out a genuinely solid rave full-length in 'Full On... Mask Hysteria', masterminded some ridiculous press campaigns, and donned the now-iconic RAF chemical warfare suits and dust mask for Altern8's performances. Recently, Archer's music was back in the UK charts, hitting #33 off the back of a campaign to get Altern8's Activ-8 to Christmas number one. He's recently released on Balkan Vinyl and Substance Audio, headlined Moondance Festival this year, DJed at Bestival and other festivals, and sold out shows in the UK and abroad.

Originally inspired by the Elbee Bad question, 'Why not just dance through life' Matias Aguayo pursued the question leading him to this radical dancing Spirit, El Rudo del House: an imaginary creature who manifests speaking to you with a pitched-down voice and producing heavy house rhythms that are engineered to directly trigger the movement of different body parts (body mechanics).  El Rudo teaches that you should confront every situation with dance, and apply this approach into your everyday life: When we dance we can become other beings, switch our species... Turn into little nervous, jittering muppets or clumsy giants.

Label debut from Always Human Tapes artist suspends his homemade house & techno dioms in liquid, allowing them to distill and disintegrate of their own volition. In the vein of Proibito, Actress, FXHE.

Exploring the tactility of bass from both the hip-hop and the DnB side you'll end up in a swirling lava stream with punchy basslines and tattered lost frail voices. Judo is the perfect example of this hip-hop and Drum & Bass fusion. As this track also showcases Lewis James' skill to combine theses unusual genres. Like sirens the voice snatches are seductive and suck you into the Megacholy. The gritty metal scrapes pierce the senses and the rousing synths are dripped with dystopian post apocalyptic Gotham. We love the world in alleys and post-industrial decay. With sparks of hope as in the alluring track Spiller.

Megacholy is a true Dazzle release. It has no limits, it's deep and imaginative. It combines breakbeat science with DnB precision, industrial grits and hip hop punch. Truly diverse and seductive.

Lewis James has already an interesting track record. As a multi-instrumentalist, and a producer he is known for his diversity. He has a Lowriders kinda taste for bass culture, hip hop, soul and electronics. Worked for TV, film, and the game industry. Collaborated with Lorn, Om Unit, Dolor and just recently with Amsterdam based producer Sleepin Giant on the Disco Noir release for the Cosmonostro label and with Know V.A. for our Beatitude 2 track.

Dazzle Series

For our Dazzle series this idea of confusion and delusion is combined with how we select the music: Confusing the listeners with preoccupation of style and genre and then turning the whole thing around, upside-down, playing with expectation.
It's about the tension between te compelling sound colors from Bass music, noise combined with whirring machinery to glossy rave synths and or RnB mash ups. In other words: using Gotham's sonic textures and crafts them into brand new, glistening disrupting collages. With Lowriders we're about those spaces in- between genres.

N1L lurches back into cranky post-techno action on Lee Gamble's label with the Ikea Zen EP: six tracks of deviant, obtuse dance music that brings the future to heel with X amount of noise and abstract funk.
Having the honour of inaugurating UIQ with the Wrong Headspace EP, Martin Rokis' 2nd volley feels more pinched and nervy, rolling out with discombobulating effect akin to caffeinated browser window-hopping or being physically rendered as an algorithmic .gif or holographic projection while in the middle of the dance.
Depending on your tolerance for vertigo and motion sickness, that sense of quantum instability is entirely pleasurable or quease-inducing. Maybe we were bounced on our heads too much as kids, but we're definitely in the former set and all up for being turned inside out.
A-side he plays with the gearbox as a Rubik's cube in #accelerate, slipping in and out of meter and focus with bewildering diffusion of grime ballistics and gyroid vox before Sleep Architecture gets on a heavy-lidded, technoid dancehall tip veering between dreamy and dread feels, while Galactic Tetris comes off like STL tending to a flock of primitive mechanical birds.
B-side, Fugu marks the EP's most messed-up and elusive moments, and the rickety tribalism Hazy One spirals upwards off scooping subs into heady thizz, but the best is kept in the back pocket with a full frontal mentalism called WARWARWAR which sounds exactly as frantic as the title suggests.

Will Saul's AUS Music has seen a number of new additions to the roster this year as the label continues to prosper. Now - adding to names such as Timothy Blake, Geeman and Escape, AUS welcome in another auspicious producer by the name of Fold. Having released records on Man Make Music and Electric Minds - Fold lines up his 'Netflix & Chill' EP: a potent stack of Hip-Hop indebted House tracks backed up by the extolled and shady Kassem Mosse on remix duties. 'Calmer Mood' kicks things off, hopping between bpms and driving grubby and groovy samples over a rough kick. Filters control builds peaks and troughs guaranteed to set things off before 'Wallop' rattles off with powerful 909 drums and truncated samples in a manner that will please fans of his 'Mr Wood' no end. 'Dreamscape' then melds deftly chopped breaks with Jazz melodies to set a rich, blue tone that's propelled into overdrive by splashing drum solos stitched together with flare. Workshop owner Kassem Mosse then offers up his interpretation of 'Dreamscapes' and in doing so introduces a subtle degree of melancholy to the original that links rich, spectral pads with tumbling breaks and delayed Sax stabs that round off another fine addition to AUS' catalogue.

Bass renaissance man delivers a wild tour de force through a range of bombastic club styles ranging from future garage, footwork to DJ tools & breakbeat hardcore + remixes from Roska, Carpainter, Vjuan Allure, GRRL, Scottie B, & himself.

Waking up in the middle of the night, feeling the gentle touch of moss on your bare skin and overwhelmed by the eery yet calming atmosphere of unknown surroundings. A location no one ever goes to, a destination unreachable by common means, but a place blurring the lines between having a dream and a state of mind. Welcome to Talabout.

Stavroz managed to create a wholesome, comforting soundtrack for a place, which no words can describe. Take a rest, lay down, close your eyes and listen to a story told in an orchestral fashion, with such profession and ear for details like Luise never heard before. We are deeply impressed and thankful alike to be able to present this musical masterpiece. A heartly welcome to Stavroz, everyone.

3x12"

TUBA006:
Prism's A-side begins dark and cold as ancient
prison stone, motionless save an automated string sample ebbing in waves. The breakdown is characteristically spare and ethereal with a few pounding heartbeats. Suddenly, in a moment of true eloquence, Prism turns on both the lights and heat simultaneously, filling the sonic space with a gorgeous quasi-drop. Dynamic and versatile, it plays out as a spectrum from cold and dark to warm and generative-exactly like a sunrise.

On the B-side Compa's remix is foreboding as a creepy stranger's warning and as dark as a spell cast by a dark, latent entity. Congas add a mystical and organic element and slight drum fills float alongside slow, even pacing. The tune concludes with deeply distorted underlying strings, reminiscent of long, gunmetal-grey gutters. A shadowy track all the way through.

TUBA001:
Tuba's inaugural release features Antiserum's dark, forceful, hip hop focused banger, Mofo. This A side has been supported by Benga, Babylon System, Sukh Knight, Tes La Rok, Nicon, 12th Planet, DJG, Excision, Datsik, and 16BIT, getting plays around the world. Neighborhood Lasersniper, on the flip, is a dubstep interpretation of a hip hop classic.r

Royal-T, DJ Q and Flava D's collaborative project t q d returns to Butterz after taking the club world by storm across 2016. 'Only One' which featured on Flava D's acclaimed Fabriclive CD is a mellow Garage cut they have been closing their sets with from basement clubs to festival stages. Ghosts, which featured in a UK campaign for UKF is the sound they are mastering, big room bass music.

coming soon - preorders asap please!!

Early UK Hardcore edits by an unknown artist or artists, rumored to be hailing from somewhere near the Klasse Wrecks camp in Berlin.

Wisdom Teeth label boss K-LONE reveals new sister label Wych', kicking off with a new collaborative EP featuring LA-based lyricist Ill Chill, complete with hand illustrated artwork.

Beneath's early productions first surfaced on the Wifey show on Deja Vu FM. Releases followed through his own No Symbols label, DJ Pinch's Tectonic and Blackdown's Keysound.

He is widely acclaimed for his originality, in synthesising the dread soundscapes of 2004-2006 dubstep with the rolling tempo of UK funky and echoes of the "bleep 'n' bass" subgenre of UK house and techno.

This debut for Niche 'N' Bump (orchestrated by a member of the Wifey crew) showcases his most uncompromising work, mixing wild, off-kilter bass with mutating, otherworldly tones.

Swing Ting are a Manchester DJ and production duo behind the city's energetic club nights of the same name. Known for injecting up-to-the-minute UK music with bashment-inspired energy, here their remix ably advances that mission. Armed with breaking glass, dub sirens and enhanced bass pressure it blasts "Bellz" into a sleek shape for peak-time dancefloors, resembling their 2011 overhall of Mosca's "Tilt Shift" for Fat City.

2 Black Vinyl LPs in gatefold sleeve with CD included

The CD included in this vinyl edition features the 15 tracks in the same order Short info: Mr Oizo (aka Quentin Dupieux), the French producer and pioneer of modern electro alongside Daft Punk, Air and Cassius simply can't and won't stop working. Having released 5 studio albums, 4 OSTs, a multitude of EPs and directed 6 movies over the past 20 years, the 'Godfather' is back with a new album. And this time, he is not alone as the tracklist features an impressive selection of quality guests: Peaches, Boys Noize, Skrillex and Charli XCX among others. This new release will be a new occasion to further explore the mind of one of the most fantastically uncommon artist today.

While we wait for the follow up to last years heavy hitting Tayi Bebba the 'Tuscan speedball' returns with a new EP of sizzling world beats to reignite Summer!In contrast with common thinking Clap! Clap!'s beats are as indebted to the Inuit tribes of Alaska as they do the Staccato footwork of Chicago and LA's low-end theory. Cristiano's music features traditional Italian folk rhythms and melodies mixed with a global harvest of found-sounds smashed through an electronic beat machine mindstate. With all these disparate influences it would be easy to lose form and style but our fully-fledged Jazz practitioner adds his own unique gait to each track. The Simple EP is a return to the basics for Clap! Clap! Brave and exciting music for your carnival.

We're totally buzzed to present DJ Marfox's febrile retrospective Revolução 2005 - 2008 via the Boomkat Editions series.
Both a necessary document of Marlon Silva's early years and a crucial survey of Angolan kuduro's formative phase and mutation in the clubs of Lisbon, the set collects nine cuts
of contagious Afro-Portuguese dance music which maps strong parallels to the UK's own transition and flux between grime and UKF, whilst also demonstrating why Marfox is now regarded as the main ambassador and catalyst for Lisbon's colourfully influential and world-renowned style.
Taking his name from Nintendo's Starfox character (and establishing a trend for the -fox suffix so prevalent in kuduro and tarraxhina) DJ Marfox was instrumental in shaping one
of today's most vital dance scenes with a number of productions from his 17 year old self cropping up on ear-opening compilations such as the foundational DJs Do Guetto Vol.1 in 2006, and later on the Bazzerk - African Digital Dance Music set which turned a lot of DJs and dancers onto this sound.
He's subsequently released the 1st record on kuduro's best alibi, Príncipe, and followed Visionist and DJ Rashad to release on J-Cush's Lit City Trax, and has also appeared alongside his Lisbon crew on the Cargaa compilations for Warp Records.
However, this set returns to his wildest early years; from the hyper disco-techno drive of Funk em Kuduro or the galloping darkwave-riding horsepower of Un Bes Bai from 2006;
thru the killer jump-up downstroke of Sem Fronteiras or the inimitable, body-carving syncopation of Aiué Remix circa 2007-08, and his hollering A Própria with DJ Nervoso - which could almost be some ravenous Chicago house oddity - all of which illustrate the sound of a young producer firmly finding his feet and blazing a trail where others such as Arca, M.E.S.H. or Nidia Minaj would soon follow.Most of all though; it's a proper dance record for summer and beyond, either as DJ tools or the soundtrack to backyard raves, BBQs and beach parties.

Rising London-based producer Otik steps up with his debut 12' for Bristol imprint Durkle Disco. Resolutely rooted in the present day, both tracks gleefully nod to the past by channeling the darker end of UK garage, Detroit's industrial moodiness and the dusty depths of early dubstep. Remix duties for 'Acne Downs' go to Caski (Ghost Recordings/EMF/Keysound), one of the leading proponents of the slowed down 2-step sound, whose reworking aims straight for the dancefloor. Otik has been steadily building a reputation for forward thinking, genre-bending sounds around the 130bpm mark. In addition to his regular Radar Radio show, recent releases have graced Dusky's 17 Steps imprint, Infinite Machine, and Push & Run - with support from BBC Radio 1Xtra and BBC 6Music. All this makes Otik a welcome addition to the Durkle Disco ranks, joining previously released artists including Lamont (Swamp81), OH91 (Coyote), Lemzly Dale (Sector 7), and Superisk (Punch Drunk) on a label that's forged a reputation for pushing exciting new producers across a range of genres and tempos.

The Maghreban returns with essential new house odyssey 'Brooklyn', named after his dead cat.

* His second outing on Black Acre, 'Brooklyn' is a breathtaking night flight, viewed through a prism both phantasmagorical and seedily terrestrial. Trance inducing Caribbean percussion, possessed chants, Motown bass, sci-fi synths, wayward filter sweeps, analogue free jazz - all get their moment to shine in the weird and wonderful 8-minute microcosm that is 'Brooklyn'.

* Flip-side 'The Carpenters' strikes a more domesticated tone, with motorik industrial dub eventually giving way to haunted sci-fi bachelor pad lounge.

A journey to the moon that began fifteen years ago now reaches another milestone - 15 years, one and a half decades, over 150 individual releases, many many artists, countless professional relationships but also friendships along the way. Many many stories and shared memories - not all of them good, not all of them bad either. While modern space age technology would make it possible to reach the moon's surface a lot faster, for us it is not only about moving forward as quickly as possible, but also to turn around, look back and around ourselves and to reflect on everything that happened and is happening. This is why we have such a broad range of artists guesting on our latest compilation. Some that have been part of the voyage from its earliest stages, others that have been with us for major milestones along the way, and even more that might move ahead with us into new and unchartered musical regions.
Working with Dave McKean - a true legend, especially for anyone into comic illustrations - wraps up this whole trip in the sweetest way. Not only is it a big honour, but - in a way - it completes the circle, as Dave has been a major influence for the label's artworks from its earliest beginnings already.
Luckily, we have not crashed into any lunar crater with our listeners. We want to thank you for making this long journey possible and we greatly look forward to celebrating this milestone with our partners, musical family and of course with you, our listeners.
Since our 10th anniversary the face of one of our founding members who passed away way too early graces our logo. This release is dedicated to her and commemorates the 11th anniversary of her death.
Featured on the compilation are such artists as Synkro, Rain Dog, Jehst, Robot Koch, Flako, 40 Winks, Long Arm, submerse, kidkanevil, 1000 Names, Tendts, Kafuka, Erik Luebs, My Panda Shall Fly, CYNE, Soosh, Nuage, Michal Lewicki, Jilk, Sieren, Olof Melander, KRTS, Deft, Barnaby Carter, Rumpistol, Fau, Button Eyes, Deceptikon, Pavel Dovgal, Memotone, Graciela Maria, Mujuice, Stompy's Playground, Sina., Sweatson Klank, Senoy, Parra for Cuva, Fybe One, Monsoonsiren, Tom Day, and many more. Artwork by Dave McKean (Dark House Comics / DC Comics / Tundra).

Following his 2013 debut LP, Fictitious Nostalgia, Beastie Respond joins forces with Alia Fresco, Silkie and Circle Vision to present his new EP, Back To The Future. As with most of his output in recent years, the Danish producer's indisputable enchantment of '80s aesthetics and purple nostalgia beams through the entire record, elevated by Alia Fresco's soothing vocals on the glamorous title track. Intergalactic Soap Box Derby's hectic synth work and sharp turns generate an unpredictable space race for the head nodders, while Joy Ryder sees Beastie Respond carefully mesh classic d'n'b programming with neonlight melodies. Silkie rounds off the EP with a signature sub treatment of Back To The Future, navigating on a tempo not previously released by the acclaimed UK producer.

BT12 welcomes ITPDWIP to brokntoys. Founder of Remote Influence; a collective and record
label pushing 70's to 00's electronic music.

Taking An Already Taken Decision takes on what post love would sound like with a doleful, melancholy interpretation of electro. Dolphin's Cry accommodates skipping, intricate minimal grooves. Closing the EP Haguenesse Wind brings bass heavy, mechanical electro..

This tune has been on dubplate for quite some time. Something of a UK Garage anthem on the underground, Jodo Kast is an alter-ego of J:Kenzo the prominent Dubstep producer/DJ and to celebrate the launch of this release he has also relaunched his ShadowTrak label in order to reboot that imprint to cater for his garage productions.

The CD is stickered with the most important credits. The fine booklet has each one page presentling the artist with photo and their personal message plus a moving introduction essay by Philip Sherburne (Pitchfork). Tracklisting with short excerpts from the booklet: 1. Eric Satie - Gymnopedie "For me it is the simultaneous expression of the hope and sadness, the beauty as well as tragedy of life" (DJ T.) 2. Rob Gallagher - Little One "Rob has been my main MC for over 20 years - he's my biggest inspiration" (Gilles Peterson) 3. Photek - Modus Operandi "There are only so many tunes in the world that you can say really soothe your soul, well 'Modus Operandi' for me is the ultimate one" (Storm) 4. The Stranglers - Golden Brown "A song to inspire people to dance, even in a cemetery" (DJ Hell)l 5. Cerrone - Supernature "I first heard this song played by Larry Levan at Paradise Garage....It just hypnotized me. It's been my favorite ever since" (Kevin Saunderson) 6. Radiohead - Sit Down Stand Up "Similar to how this unbelievable song starts so softly and finishes in total chaos" (Laurent Garnier) 7. Chloe - Paradise "Paradise is that feeling inside, as our souls gently float away after death, which might be our true living existence" (Chloe) 8. The Beach Boys - 'Til I Die "It is an exceptional piece of music" (David Holmes) 9. Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is "I hope it would raise a wry smile among my loved ones, and the sentiment is actually pretty wise - your present life is all you have so best enjoy it!" (Ewan Pearson) 10. Inti Illimani - Yo Soy Dueno Del Baron "I chose a piece by my favorite folklore band as the melancholies, tradition, pride and fortune of this track creates a mixture that directly connects to the person I have become" (Ricardo Villalobos) 11. Link - Amenity "The pace, the build, the emotion, and of course, the strings of this record always seemed to sum up those magical evenings that unfortunately had to come to an end..." (Richie Hawtin) 12. Pharaoh Sanders - Astral Travelling "Its cosmic depth, quasi-transcendental melody and lush atmosphere has made it one of my all-time favorites" (Francois K) 13. Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) "A very calm track that eases the listener into a state of reflection... a tune you can get lost in" (Coldcut)

Martijn Deijkers is a man of many facets: The Dutch-born now Washington D.C.- based artist and Panorama Bar resident started DJing in the 90s, producing in the noughties, released on labels such as Ninja Tune, Warp Records or Steffi's DollyDubs amongst many others as well as his own 3024 imprint - always with a unique, distinctive sound, nestled somewhere between 2-step, House, Dubstep and Garage. After having remixed Shed's "Another Wedged Chicken" (2009) and contributed "Miniluv" to Ben Klock's Berghain 04 (2010) we're happy to finally offer a Martyn solo 12" release on Ostgut Ton. Falling For You starts with the almost ten minute-long track of the same title: Opening with a major piano motif and some field recordings from along the road the A-side picks up momentum through its luscious Garage-inspired rhythm, bubbling synth bleeps, organic percussion and more subtle yet stirring piano motifs. Berliners may be familiar with Kreuzberg's 'Kotti' and its converging trains U1 and U8 - let's say it's a fascinating, multiculti yet rough place. The same goes for "U1-U8" on B1: a slightly darker offering with syncopated melody, hihats, claps and sampled shehnai sounds sitting atop the hollow kick. "Ahmadiya" closes this release with a rather pensive-tempered synth, string elements, beguiling piano strokes and a more break-heavy vibe. Winter may be coming by the time of release, but this record has club-meets-afterhour-meets-summer's-day written all over it.

Seems MC Rayna's so busy these days with her band Antiplastic that there's little time for for the sort of sterling guest vox that have graced beats by the likes of Badboe, Skeewiff, Jiggyjoe, Sammy Senior, Tonic, and Tosses. Luckily Ale Tosses of the latter has used all his wiles to get Rayna on two new cuts. What to call the LP though I know - Tosses feat. Rayna! Doo Wop is a vaguely electro-swingy bass-heavy number while Joy is a gloriously chugging slab of guitar-powered breaks fuzz. Of course it would be rude not to have a remix so who better than Jayl Funk to work his magic on Doo Wop and imbue it with a summery nu-funky party breaks vibe. The full package in vinyl, also includes a spread of stems including instros, vox and FX from the two original mixes. And you can't argue with that!

THIS IS POINTS 004 BY DONA WITH THE DETROIT MASTER ANTHONY SHAKE SHAKIR AND THE QUALITY TECHNO BOYS HIVER.
