and the whole thing carries you away on a nicely colourful groove.

Melbourne party enthusiasts Animals Dancing launch their self titled label with the sophomore release from Krautback duo Coober Pedy University Band (Tornado Wallace & William Paxton AKA Tom Moore of Otologic). Kookaburra, once described as "a bit too mental for me", continues in the vein of their Moon Plain release, but this time takes it a step further. Perhaps too far.

More than ever before on Koze's records, there are fascinating, individualist - and well-known - voices through out Knock Knock but again, each of them is rendered strange, drawn into a different reality Bon Iver's ghostly hymnals samples on Bonfire' are very recognisably Bon Iver, but the way they twist and merge with synthetic sounds until choir and computer are writhing around one another in bliss are something else. The ever-unique Róisín Murphy, on two stunning tracks, becomes a cyborg funk diva. Speech from Arrested Development delivers luscious and lazy R&B-funk on Colors of Autumn', but Koze's warping bass, dubwise echo and alien nature sounds take it to an alternate dimension tropical landscape. Kurt Wagner of Lambchop is a vocoder bohemian, Sophia Kennedy is a sci-fi Weimar cabaret star, José Gonzalez a holographic projection from an old film of South Sea Islands... on it goes, nothing is real, everyone is an inhabitant of Koze-world.

HOGG returns to SCRAPES with a full-length recording made at Electrical Audio. Self-Extinguishing Emission captures the physicality and energy of a HOGG performance over the last several years, while the song-writing and production show a refinement and development that is uniquely HOGG. The songs are built around a spare foundation of heavy electronic pulses punctured by occasional stabs of distorted guitar, floor tom, and biological samples. Dueling vocals of diverse sonic and emotional quality render each song into a pleasurable exploration of internal conflict within a brutal psychological atmosphere

As usual, mega limited, so get those orders in quick if you want in. Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox 23 featuring disco house jams from Freiboitar and Hurlee.

Fluxion's Ripple Effect is the film score for a non-existing motion picture. This 9-track album is the result of experimentation and the combination of the producer's two most cherished art forms: electronic music and score music. Ironically the two worlds rarely seem to meet, despite the fact that score music has adopted a looser form in order to better adapt to film accompaniment, bringing it closer to electronic music which attempts to contradict form or shed it altogether. Fluxion felt the need to bring these two musical forms into dialogue with each other, lending structure to electronic and deconstructing score music to create a malleable and expressive hybrid.The album's production took two years from its original conception for the subliminal story to unfold into the completed product. Fluxion wanted to say as much as possible through the music, leaving the visuals as a blank canvas for the listener to create their own story. In the end, the goal is to give each member of the audience a unique audiovisual experience based on their own perception and interpretation.

Robots and smiles for the dance floor.
Vinyl Only, no repress

ORIGINAL MIX Chimes, bells, metal against metal, a distant voice, a premonition ; altogether, it's a beautiful darkness, one that comes together in an alien fruition ! SYLVAIN CHAUVEAU RMX The sun ascends sharply. Lying in bed I feel a sense of remorse ; I rise with the melody of a violin in some place not so far away ; Coster escorts the listener from their clicking complacency to a warning for things to come. CRISTIAN VOGEL RMX A rainspout overflows, drip by drip, on a pile of sheet metal down below, vibrating, building to a crescendo of drops in an otherwise hypnotic sequence of echoes. The manmade feature of this track is stunning; it is industrial, a vacant warehouse of cobalt sound.

Monosoul is back on Tieffrequent with 4 timeless and classical cuts focussed on the important elements of housemusic...with love for the dancefloors, clubs and basements of this universe...
On the A-side you have - Make 'Em Match', a rough and steady house-groove containing a constantly bouncing bassline, a deep chord-pattern, a complex percussion-cluster and a well infixed electric piano...all elements are perfectly balanced, finalized and formed to a completed floorfiller. Then there is - Monument Street' after which the EP was named. Starting really deep and minimalistic it developes to an impulsive und powerful song. Organic pads, pulsating deep chords, a rhythmic bassline and well arranged drums make - Monument Street' flowing impressively from start to finish.
The B-side starts up with - Hot Concrete', a blazing, drum-driven basement-groover. With a sharp deepchord which is wrapped-up in several padsound-patterns, Monosoul creates a very own athmosphere. In combination with an impulsive bassline and a distinct percussion- ensemble - Hot Concrete' beats time on the floor noticeably. Finally - Life On The Red Island' as the perfect final track brings the - Monument Street EP' to an end. It builds up by adding small bits and pieces very subtly to a point you recognize a pulsative deephouse beauty. The remarkable bassline and the concise and bouncing kickdrum are casted in a flowing deep sounded carpet full of hope. - Life On The Red Island' disappears to where it came from and leaves you with strong impressions.
The - Monument Street EP' gives an insight into Monosoul's impressive understanding and definition of house music which you can hear on 4 tracks loud and clear...Thank You!

Their track has a dirty 909 groove, old school swing and a killer bassline.
The main female vocal gives an amazing soul to the darkness of the instrumental part, club track to kill the dancefloor.

Bicep continue to bolster their Feel My Bicep imprint and follow up their recent remix of Blaze's 'Lovelee Dae' with another reimagined classic. With this - the seventh addition to the catalogue, the Irish duo pay homage to another equally seminal recording as they rework 'In Yer Face' by 808 State.
Originally released via ZTT on the group's third studio album 'Ex:el' in 1991 - 'In Yer Face' reached number 9 in the UK singles chart. Engineered by Graham Massey, the original mix is model 808 State - bold, Northern House Music that captures perfectly the zeitgeist of 90's Rave culture.
Now - 25 years have past and on request from 808 State themselves, Bicep reimagine 'In Yer Face' breathing fresh air through the original, re-contextualising it and adding in their own signature sense of warming euphoria.
Included in the package are two dramatically different remixes the first of which aired during Bicep's AVA Festival Boiler Room back in 2015. Fast forward to September 2016 and the package is due for release both on 12" and digital on the 30th.

KDA's 'Hate Me' (featuring playwright and poet Patrick Cash) is the freshest sounding British house music record for years. First given to a select handful of DJs, including Jackmaster, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, Tiga and Pete Tong (Essential New Tune on Radio 1), 'Hate Me' has dominated their sets since IMS. Originally slated as the first single on KDA's new label 'The 35 Records', 'Hate Me' has been picked up by BMG and will be available as a collaborative label release from 8 December (impact mid-Feb).

Whilst 'Hate Me's pulsing bassline immediately commands any dancefloor; the lyrics here provide a lot more food for thought than your usual club banger. Though echoing the spoken-word house records of old, in contrast 'Hate Me's' lyrics are delivered in Cash's British accent.

For someone who suddenly found himself atop a pop chart with his debut single, KDA draws from a diverse range of influences - taking in Masters at Work, J Dilla, Lone, The Beloved, Jill Scott, Tame Impala, Roisin Murphy, and Maya Jane Coles. KDA's first track, 'Rumble', was the instrumental of summer 2015 played at every club from Panorama Bar to Warung before the dub started picking up daytime Radio 1 plays.

Simultaneously, KDA asked Katy B to write something for it just as Tinie Tempah spent that Summer free styling over it, and so 'Turn The Music Louder (Rumble)' was recorded. The song went from Annie Mac's 'Hottest Record in the World', to No.1 in the UK Singles Chart (beating One Direction) within weeks. KDA received his Official Chart Award at Radio 1, where he chose to retain his anonymity in the publicity shots (but wore a t-shirt emblazoned with 'Mum Is Proud Of Me'). 'Turn the Music Louder' has since achieved gold status, and sold in excess of 500,000 copies.

KDA's second single was, 'Just Say', a collaboration with Tinashe that he both wrote and produced. Premiered by The Fader, 'Just Say' was championed by the likes of Radio 1 (Essential New Tune and Future Anthem), Complex, Popjustice, and Clash Magazine, earning a place on national radio and streaming playlists across the globe, and becoming the highest new entry on the Billboard Dance Charts, where it remained for a further 8 weeks.

In addition to writing and producing his own tracks, KDA has remixed a suitably diverse spread of artists, including Sia feat. Kendrick Lamar, London Grammar, Moby, Metronomy ft Robyn, CHVRCHES, Alma ft French Montana, Fatboy Slim, Brooke Candy, Kylie, Banks & Steelz, Seinabo Sey, Busy P, Waterson, Taya ft Yxng Bane, C Duncan, Joe Goddard, and more.

KDA's UK DJ highlights include Brixton Academy, Printworks, Tobacco Dock, fabric, Sub Club, and Warehouse Project. Internationally, he's played Ibiza clubs including DC10, Ushuaia and Amnesia, summer festivals like Creamfields, Secret Garden Party, and Lovebox, through to the odd party in the holy fashion week four - London, Paris, Milan and New York.

Currently in the studio hard at work on his debut album, KDA has promised a full mix of influences defiant of stereotypical genre, with a very interesting list of collaborators...

Second release on Bash & T's very limited Conch imprint further delving into creating house music fused with UK flavours. All spawned from live studio takes.

To celebrate two decades of Skylax Records, label head Hardrock Striker teams up with long time friend and co-worker DJ Sprinkles as SKYLAX HOUSE EXPLOSION (S.H.E.). They present the second of three exclusive vinyl releases accompanying the Mix CD for the 20 Years Compilation. All three EPs will feature previously unreleased music curated by DJ Sprinkles and Hardrock Striker. 'I think of one time in New York when they wouldn't let me into the Loft, and I could hear they were actually playing one of my records on the dance floor at that very moment. I shit you not.' - DJ Sprinkles, Midtown 120 Blues (2008).

Few spaces have had such a formidable influence on dance music culture as David Mancuso's The Loft. Mancuso stripped the space he used for his invite-only parties of commercial value; ensuring they were legal, and navigating away from any bureaucratic licenses that come with selling food or alcohol. He insisted that people from all economic backgrounds had access to his space, the price of entry just about covering overheads and employing an IOU system on the door for those that needed it.

Under The Loft EP enlists DJ and producer from Istanbul, Sinan Kaya, who opens up the A side with a peak time stomper at 117bpm. His use of vocal sample lifts the track into an energetic contemporary house frenzy only to be re-contextualised on the flip by Slowdawn, whose early morning pads cushion the same sample under sparkles of vibraphone. Based in Canada, Slowdawn recently caught the eye of Hardrock Striker and Jus Ed and will be releasing more music for the latter this coming year.

Flabaire, like Hardrock Striker, is a fellow Parisian who has been co-running D.KO Records since 2013. On Riders In The Sun Flabaire employs a latin-style beat with bounce, and psychedelic organ runs all at 110bpm before giving way to the B side opened up by Love Island. Better known as Michele Lamacchia and previously releasing on Skylax's sub label A Fistful Of Wax, Love Island makes use of old skool mix names on Love Connection (Afterhours Mix); the sorts of mix names that, upon seeing a tracklist, you skip to and indulge in warm, 'deep' facets sure to be found on anything suited for the Afterhours.

Closing the EP on the B3 is Sameed Alexander Rezayan who back in 2015 had his second release out on SKYLAX. His closer, See Ma Thing On You cuts up the funk and channels one of the many sounds of the Loft. Mancuso loved disco and championed rare cuts of the genre in the 70s and the house that sampled it in the 90s; an apt remembrance of a space now lost.

Super Rhythm Trax is excited to unveil their brand new side label. BLEEPER, which will concentrate on a slightly tougher strain of Techno. The first four releases are in production and will be enough to give you a strong idea of where the label will be going! First out of the gate are Ford Foster (Unknown To The Unknown/Opal Tapes) and Frankie Castle with 'Bounce That', an ingenious Ghetto House jam with a serious twist , backed with a Jerome Hill remix that strips the whole thing down leaving the bare ingredients to do damage on the dancefloor. Also included are an instrumental version of the original, and the slo mo banger 'Shake That'.

"FLUX003 lands Spring 2018, 180gram limited edition vinyl (no digital) with cover artwork from Laura Zhang.

Following on from FLUX002, Laroze's style is typically packed with energy and verve, using the classic US house framework as a launch-pad to bring his sound to contemporary dance-floors across Europe."

A Lea Porcelain remix package including two reinterpretations by Roman Flügel and Benedikt Frey.

The Black Forest boys from Liquid Phonk deliver this decent summer jam 'In The End There Is A Smile', a beauty of a beach anthem, which received proper remix treatments by the maestros Lovebirds and Truccy aka Rainer Trueby and Corrado Bucci.

It's hard to imagine being at the cutting edge of electronic dance music for over three decades, and never resorting to cliché or tired gimmicks in order to create unique and forward thinking music, but Matthew Herbert is still channelling original and thought provoking ideas into his projects all these years later. Via his Accidental record label, he has always excelled at left of centre productions, and through a variety of genre aliases (including Doctor Rockit, Wishmountain and The Matthew Herbert Big Band), his imagination has always run wild, resulting in an infectious catalogue of music over the years. 'Brand New Love", featuring the vocals of rising star, Zilla, finds Herbert creating a dense and dramatic bass heavy cut. A steppers beat, utilizing Herbert's trademark sampling techniques, it's a killer cut with sweeping cinematic qualities that sounds head and shoulders ahead of the rest. Special Request, the jungle heavy arm of Paul Woolford's many recording talents, is enlisted to put his breakbeat spin on the original, and turns in an absolutely lethal version; choppy breaks, spinbacks and booming subs come with intent, whilst a sumptuous string arrangement accompanies Zilla's vocal for a truly uplifting spirit. 'The Peacock", with its loose beats and opaque stabs, rolls along with its industrial undertones and ravey motif, discordant at times but a truly hypnotizing but in the finest of side B1 traditions. Bringing up the rear, 'Cheekbone' is frenetic and charging micro tribal rave (a new genre classification right there); a glorious medley of percussion, earworm synths and guillotined vocal samples, showing just why Matthew Herbert is as vital an artist now as he has ever been.

Younger Than Me are Marcello Carozzi and John Ming, a rising DJ and producer duo from Milan. They teamed up with singer Lara Caprotti for their debut release. The uplifting synth arrangements combined with the soulful voice of Lara results in an ultimate sexy-disco-rave euphoria. Fellow Italians Massimiliano Pagliara and Uabos handled the remixes and and put their sophisticated signature on top. A future club classic, sweet as honey!
