Irish producer, DJ and radio host Mr. Spring aka Replicants, joins the German Dominance Electricity sub label Electro Empire.

The versed multi-genre music writer, who has been active since the early 90's under various aliases, starts this purely hardware production based package with the powerful "I Like The Way You Crunch". This original version of the earlier released "I like The Way You Focus", offers energetic broken 808 beats, punchy basslines, a mighty string machine break and sinisterly mumbled vocoder magic.

Second song "Jiro", a tribute to legendary sushi chef Jiro Ono, is a classic old school Electrofunk Breakdance anthem. Next to the featured Extended Mix, 5-times DMC mix champion DJ Mek contributes a remix with an extra portion of fresh scratches and funky edits.

Essential for fans of clubby Electro with a traditional twist, as known from artists like DJ Overdose, Egyptian Lover or Dynamik Bass System.

Hailing from the first wave of American West Coast Electrofunk that brought us classic from the likes of The Egyptian Lover and Dr. Dre, Cli-N-Tel—a member of the legendary World Class Wreckin'Cru—released the song "2030" on Unknown DJ's label, Techno Hop, in 1986. More than 30 years later, it has become an essential of the genre and is now celebrated with this overdue rerelease.

Along with the remastered original version, the German label, Ground Control, is proud to present a package of fresh remixes from renowned artists of the current international Electrofunk scene—including Sweden's Blotnik Brothers; Dynamik Bass System out of Germany and dutchman DJ Overdose.

Don't stop the Party Rock!

American Electro Rap legend Kyper checks in with the German label Ground Control. Produced by the Brazilian Bass Connection (BBC) aka Heliobranco and Tom Oliver, the new song Let The Bass Come Out Clear delivers a shameless old school Miami Bass orgy with heavy 808 Beats, 80s Style Rapping, vocoder vocal bits and fresh scratching.

The perfect choice for a remixer comes with Debonaire, producer with legendary Miami Bass groups Maggotron and Dynamix II, who takes the song to the next level of Bass boom. Turn up the bass!

The Florida-based duo Ohverclock aka Grow and Kounterakt join the Electro Empire: sub label of Germany's Dominance Electricity, to give their epic ElectroBass banger Rezonation the maxi-single treatment.

The new Release on Shaddock Records is more than just dance tracks, 2 songs that come with full-blown vocals, a Re-edition of classic Latin Freestyle by Jorge Ojeda ft. Hilda Mariee with an up-to-date cover version by Mr. & Mrs. Jonson

The original version is a freestyle slammer coming straight from Miami the capital of Freestyle Music.

Driven by hard electro beats and Ojeda's signature Miami Bass with Latin Hip Hop/ Freestyle Dance grooves, "Betrayal" when initially released on Ojeda's Destune records became a club and street phenomenon in Miami. It would be one of the first of many productions between Jorge Ojeda and Hilda Mariee' and their project Teaz II Pleaz.

Now "Betrayal" catches new life on Shaddock Records and continues to tell it's story.

On the 2nd A side Mr. & Mrs.Jonson aka Mathew Jonson and Isis Kuaygarond created an incredible cover version keeping the electro and freestyle spirit but taking arrangement and production to the next level and thus into 2018.

Mathew and Isis, after their recent marriage have spent endless hours in the studio and with Betrayal - the couple's very 1st release - they are giving us a first insight into their joint musical vision.

The Sound In Your Ear and That's My Fantasy, which is included as a new Extended 12" Mix, are CeeOnic's overdue debut on vinyl.

The first release of the Orakel X-Files series by O-Wells. Vinyl only
.

* 'Is That Light You Carry' is the debut record from Third Culture Kings, a new project led by Jan Johansen (Glorybox) and Alap Momin (dälek). Filtering classic vibes through modern interpretation, 3CK reimagine The Velvet Underground or Leonard Cohen as if they had been mixed by King Tubby and Afrika Bambaataa, all the while incorporating influences as diverse as Indian drone, early 80's synth pads and Miami booty bass.

* Still, it's worth noting that there's nothing about these recordings that's rooted in the past: nearly every sound on the record - sans lead vocals and guitar - was created or recorded directly to an iPhone. Momin created the beats, bass and majority of synth lines on his device, while Johansen then recorded backing vocals, second guitar, vibraphone, piano, horns, rhodes, and melodica as voice memos on his that were eventually dropped on top of the finished tracks.

* Cuts like 'Seven Slayers' send you on an arcane descent into alien subterranea, while 'Sunshine For Sadie' floats you across a dreamy, space-like universe. Elsewhere in tracks like 'Flamingo' and 'Higher', rock and roll guitars are juxtaposed with rattlesnake drums, creating ambient desert soundscapes perfect for an imagined intergalactic western. Throughout the record, hypnotic layers of sound and ambient psychedelics grip you to an electric-folk universe in which slow bubbling beats are matched with woozy flourishes and gently propellant melodies.

* There are few acts claiming to channel Vangelis and Suicide at the same time, and even fewer that also shout out their love of Doo Wop, UK Bass, and Chicago House in the same breath, but this international duo manage to strike all those notes and more. Veteran performers who've outlasted endless trends and toured the world for the better part of the last two Third Culture Kings aren't afraid to stretch the boundaries of style. The eclectic, yet cohesive group of songs in their live shows complement bills featuring everything from shoegaze to commercial R&B.

Classic 80s Miami Bass Vocoder Electro party jam in the style of the World Class Crew or Egyptian Lover. Taken from the Turbo movie soundtrack.

Royal Athlete's quest for the cosmos continues, with a brand new Various Artists EP from the depths of space. Four tracks of magical dance floor weapons via the Earth colonies of California, the UK and Berlin. Containing tracks from Voltaire / Omega Supreme mainstay and frequent Egyptian Lover collaborator Brian Ellis, Bout You's funk is so potent you could smoke it. Mat/Matix's Speeding Lane takes you to 5pm, with a groove so smooth, you'll think it's bathed in oil. Rick Wreck presents a heartfelt funk gem with Dance Again, for the lovers, across the universe. Finally Royal Athlete's own Vexkiddy serves up a spaced out, G'd up cosmofantabulous afterhours banger with Strange Attractors.

Takes the Sludge sound into another dimension: "Cheddar Bae" shows Applewhite's more Ghettotech side w/insanely catchy call & response vocal hook. "Mouthwork" has a drag gin juke beat, w/Ashbaby pimping the Dance Mania vibe.

Re-press of the mega unfindable, but oh so essential ''Dance'' by E-Lover, almost 12 minutes of beats which remind of Kraftwerks ''Tour De France''. On the flip two parts of the legendary Pyramix which was only available on cd. Must have!!

ATIC Records is proud to present the long awaited album collaboration from one of the UK's most celebrated underground producers, Aim (Cold Water Music, Hinterland, Flight 602), and master-blaster Long Island MC's QNC aka Q-Ball & Curt Cazal (legendary producer of the JVC Force classic 'Strong Island').

Three years in the making, 'The Habit of a Lifetime (And How To Kick It)', whilst comfortingly familiar in style to anyone fiending that early 90's golden-era hip-hop flavour, is certifiably fresh. It features Aim's finest, most inventive beat-scapes to date and vocally, Q-Ball and Curt Cazal are on fire with line after line of dope rhymes, topped with often hilarious punchlines and that syrupy flow that's getting harder and harder to find.

The album boasts a number of hand-picked, high profile 'features' including, B-Luv (JVC Force), Dimes, Niko, the great Grand Puba and the late Sean Price who sadly passed away earlier this year - a legend and true master of his craft. Of the 'We Don't Play' session Curt Cazal recalls 'he [Sean P] was the consummate professional. I played him the beat and he laced it in no time. He was quite a character and will be missed'.

With 'The Habit of a Lifetime (And How To Kick It)', Aim & QNC have succeeded in creating a timeless masterpiece that not only sits where the underground and the mainstream meet, but one that achieves that seemingly long-forgotten goal of making hip-hop with real soul.

For those who don't know about MG Gost, he is an extremely talented producer/musician residing in Novi Sad, Serbia. A member of the well respected 'Hain Teny' collective, MG Gost is always creating that dope 'ish.

'Waking Walk' is the debut LP from MG Gost and features an all-star emcee lineup, such as G-Force, Tableek, Jack Jones aka Audessey, Cadence and many more. The album also features 2 bonus remixes, courtesy of Dirty Hairy and Slone.

Egyptian Lover's first record since 1994..... Solid electro dancefloor tracks like no other. Still rocking and still making the ladies shake their hot pants! BIG TIP!!...

Ferocious, grimey breakbeat and techno — dubwise but cut-throat, new-school but clued-up. Check those vintage Nubian Mindz rolls to start; and One Step for deadly, Mabrak-style drum-talk. 180g as per.

Once again some special sounds and atmosphear on FDB Recordings with a pure Miami style electro 12''. Magotron & Debonaire brought out here some very well produced piece music that could take u back in the early 90's in an eye blink. Special project LTD 300.

The Captain aka Fab Samperi is one of the hottest names in Ghetto Funk right now and we are proud to welcome him to Breakbeat Paradise Recordings to drop a monster 5-track vinyl. He's teamed up with two countrymen who share his passion for funky upbeat drum 'n' bass groovers - the Italian producers PhonoMatt & Tommyboy. If this wasn't enough they've teamed up with another ghetto funk heavy weightier: BadboE who's dropping a killer remix on the flip side of this EP.

Expect something a little different from the usual BBP business but as always funky as hell and full of attitude. The tempo is closer to drum 'n' bass but the street feel and wobbles from ghetto funk makes these jams perfect peak time bangers.

The Captain just recently dropped his first 4-track vinyl on the legendary Ghetto Funk label, which were ripped off the shelves and sold out in less than 2-month time. The Captain has previously released tunes on labels likes Resense, Tremendo & Good Groove and remixed tunes by CMC/Silenta, Ursula 1000, The Sly Players & Dj Love as well as releasing the full length album: Power Bossa on the Agogo label in 2011.
It's clear that PhonoMatt & Tommyboy is following the footsteps of their Captain and this EP shows a breath of air into the Ghetto Funk scene from a new breed of funky Italian producers.

On paper, a full collaborative album from Doom and space age production from Jneiro Jarel

can't fail. In practice it's even better. Doom is in the form of his life here. JJ produced all the

tracks, Doom provided the bulk of the vocals and compiled the cut and paste skits. Doom

recorded the album while 'banished' from the States and back living in london. He references

British culture throughout the album, name dropping British institutions, and possibly being

the first emcee to reference My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. Jneiro recording the beats in the dirty

south, got into a UK state mind, and turned in heavy hip hop production that leans towards

grime, dubstep and British techno. The album will appeal to fans of classic Doom material.

JJ's tough, far out hip hop production will appeal to fans of Dilla, Flying Lotus and el-p. It also

features guest appearances from Beth Gibbons, Damon Albarn and Khujo (goodie mob).

Album artwork is by graffiti artist Steve Powers aka Espo.

Coming out with one of the most anticipated and long-awaited albums so far on Brainfeeder is Samiyam aka Sam Baker. 'Sam Baker's Album' is 40 minutes of pure listening pleasure, a series of woozy, off-centre hip hop instrumentals drawing heavily on Baker's love of electronic funk but never in hock to it. Intensely detailed and carrying considerable emotional weight, this is not 'Rap Beats Volume 2' but an album of fully-realised pieces of music which stand on their own without the need for an MC's intervention.
Ann Arbor native, Samiyam (born Sam Baker) moved to Los Angeles in 2006. In his short time out West, he has become one of the city's most progressive and recognized producers, a man who has spearheaded the revival of interest in instrumental hip-hop music over the last few years. Baker's 'Rap Beats Vol.1' collection was the very first release on Brainfeeder. He has also collaborated with old friend Flying Lotus as Flyamsam as well as having releases on Hyperdub and Poo-Bah records.Samiyam describes the work contained in his "Debut album" simply as, 'my favourite stuff' - and what could be better than that

No Hip Hop song is complete without some turntable action and this is no exception as fellow High Noon recording artist Mr Fantastic cuts up some classic Hip Hop vocals to construct the chorus to reaffirm the scientific theme of Surreal's vocal.
